«Se crepo vedete tutti di vederci chiaro». È l’ultimo messaggio di Giovanni Mesini, 68 anni, morto all’ospedale di Livorno dopo essere stato infettato prima dal superbatterio New Delhi e poi dal Covid-19. L’uomo aveva scritto un diario su Facebook raccontando gli ultimi giorni della malattia ma anche denunciando presunte gravi carenza nell’assistenza ospedaliera e infine chiedendo a parenti e amici di fare chiarezza se lui non ce l’avesse fatta.
Mesini era stato ricoverato il 14 dicembre per un’occlusione arteriosa, più tardi gli era stata diagnosticata una polmonite ma non causata dal Covid. In seguito complicazioni e peggioramenti continui fino al decesso. Poi, dopo quasi un mese, il peggioramento con la doppia infezione da batterio e coronavirus e la morte avvenuta il 13 gennaio. La vicenda, anticipata sulle cronache locali dal Tirreno, ha già fatto scattare un’inchiesta interna dell’ospedale toscano. In una nota la Asl Toscana Nord Ovest, dopo aver espresso le sue condoglianze alla famiglia del paziente ha reso noto di aver avviato, «un audit interno anche in base alla denuncia del paziente, contenuta nel suo diario sulla degenza, per capire se l’assistenza prestata sia stata carente sia da un punto di vista umano, sia da un punto di vista sanitario» e per capire «se ci sono stati problemi nella gestione medico-sanitaria durante la degenza». In particolare rispetto all’aver contratto durante il ricovero il batterio New Delhi e poi il Covid-19.
Su Facebook Mesini ha ripercorso la degenza segnalando presunti problemi tecnici e organizzativi. Scrive che nel reparto «l’igienizzazione viene fatta all’antica», «aprendo un po’ le finestre», «alle 11 sono aperte dalla nottata» e qui «fa un discreto freddo. Chissà se lo sanno che c’è un bischero che cerca di uscire da una polmonite o che ha solo un batterio iper resistente ed è positivo al Coronavirus». Mesini racconta anche di aver chiamato i carabinieri per un respiratore che non funzionava. Poi scrive: «Devo fare pipì e suono il campanello. Non viene nessuno e l’ossigenazione inizia a calare veloce. Alzo la mascherina e strillo “infermiere”, arriva l’infermiera, dà un’occhiata al saturimetro e una al respiratore e — solerte — sistema tutto senza risparmiare una lavata di capo a me che, volendo inizialmente solo fare pipì, mi sono adeguato agli eventi. Questo tacitare il paziente senza ascoltarlo non so quanto sia corretto». E ancora: «Si stacca la sonda del saturimetro. Tento due volte la riparazione, suono. Arriva l’infermiera. Sono occluso dal ventilatore e non posso urlare. Mi fa parlare a vuoto. Si avvicina, capisce la richiesta, promette soluzione che in 40 minuti non c’è. Anziché tranquillizzare chi sta patendo un virus mortale possono fare meglio». Infine l’ultimo drammatico appello: «Stiano attenti che magari non sia la vittima a farla pagare al carnefice. Se crepo cercate tutti di vederci chiaro, eh?». La procura, al momento, ha disposto l’autopsia.

Milperra massacre bikie Glen Eaves can't get job despite three degrees

Glen Eaves is an award-winning filmmaker who has run a pay TV network, worked in senior government positions and completed three university degrees.
The onetime soldier was also the youngest bikie at the Milperra massacre 36 years ago and has seven counts of manslaughter recorded against his name.
No matter what Eaves does in life - he volunteers his time for disaster relief with a veterans' organisation - he is dragged back to the car park of the Viking Tavern in south-western Sydney where six bikies and a teenage girl were shot dead.
Eaves lives every day with the consequences of that infamous Father's Day 1984 battle between the Comanchero and Bandidos and its permanent place on his resume.
'I've been trying to outrun this business for 36 years and it just never lets me go,' the father-of-two told Daily Mail Australia.
'I've always been embarrassed by it - not ashamed, but embarrassed - and always kept it a secret.'
The 58-year-old has lost jobs due to his presence at Milperra as a 22-year-old and, he believes, missed out on being hired for plenty more.
He no longer applies for the increasing number of roles which require a police check because he knows how those old manslaughter convictions will make him look.
'If you're mowing the lawns at Parliament House they want you to have a security clearance,' he said. 'It's just crazy. Absolutely crazy.'
Eaves, who joined the Comanchero just months before the massacre, did not kill or injure anyone at Milperra. He did not want to be there that day and tried to stop it.
'All I did was run out under fire and drag some wounded guys behind cars,' he said.
Before the two gangs met at the Viking Tavern Eaves tried to convince the Comanchero 'supreme commander' Jock Ross they would be out-numbered.
When the shooting started he used his military training to stay calm under fire and drag two wounded comrades to the safety of cover.
He was one of only two bikies arrested at the Viking Tavern, one of 30 convicted of murder or manslaughter, and one of the last to be released from prison.
He has barely received a parking ticket in 30 years but the shadow of Milperra hangs heavily over him, one Google search away from discovery.
That spectre emerged again early last year when Eaves was arrested after a traffic incident allegedly got out of control and media learnt of his past.
'From the start, I've been hammered by this, that I'm a crazed bikie killer from 40 years ago who's on the rampage again,' he said.
That matter is still before the courts and Eaves is vigorously defending charges including predatory driving and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
For more than three decades Eaves tried to keep his past secret from prospective employers, friends - even his own son - but is now prepared to tell his story for the first time.
Eaves grew up in Parramatta, in Sydney's west. 'It was a pretty rough neighbourhood back in those days, back in the 70s,' he said. 'It was a pretty unhappy family.'
From age eight or nine wanted to join the army. Watching war movies gave him an appreciation of the bravery of soldiers.
'How they stuck together and how they would give their life up for what they believed in,' he said.
When Eaves turned 16 his father made him leave school, dashing his dream to attend the Royal Military College, Duntroon.
About that time his sister Vanessa started a relationship with Glasgow-born Jock Ross, former British soldier and founder of the Comanchero outlaw bikie club.
'He was about 20 years older than me, in the prime of his life, a very charismatic figure and I looked up to him,' Eaves said. 'He gave me the sort of attention that a father never gave me.'
When Eaves was 17 he joined the Army Reserve, then after several years he enlisted in the regular Army, serving in the Armoured Corps.
His mother died and his young girlfriend fell pregnant. 'It was just a very difficult time,' Eaves said.
'Jock invited me to hang around with the club. It was no gangster thing. To me they were just a bunch of blokes and Jock was a big brother figure to me.'
The Comanchero had recently split, with most members defecting to form the first Australian chapter of the US-based Bandidos. Eaves was just 21.
Ross was trying to rebuild the club and draw in as many new members as possible.
'And what it was drawing in those days was a lot of young, disenfranchised young guys that didn't have a father figure,' Eaves said.
There were ex-soldiers, tradesmen, council workers, even a serving policeman. 'There was no crime going on,' Eaves said. 'They were looking for family.'
Eaves had only been in the club for a few months before tensions between the Comanchero and Bandidos exploded in bloodshed.
On September 2, 1984 Comanchero members were planning to go to the Viking Tavern at Milperra for what was advertised as a motorcycle swap meet.
Eaves was not going but that Fathers Day morning a group of Bandidos rode past his home at Westmead.
The young soldier thought the Bandidos were likely headed to the Viking Tavern and so went down to the Comanchero clubhouse to warn them.
'Some of the guys were there, just a handful of them, and most of them were drunk,' he said. 'I said, "Don't go, there's a heap of them going down there".'
Eaves called Jock Ross and warned him that going to the swap meet was 'crazy'.
'Now, Jock was a strong leader,' he said. 'To this day I don't understand why he didn't say, "We're not going, we can't take these guys on".
'I didn't want to go. A lot of other blokes didn't want to go but Jock said, "OK, we'll go there for an hour, show ourselves".
'The notion was we'll put in an appearance and if they come and attack us we'll defend ourselves but we're not going there looking for them.
'As stupid and as naive as it sounds that's exactly what happened. So we went.'
The Comanchero have been portrayed as having waited in ambush for the Bandidos but Eaves described the events of that day very differently.
'We went down to the back of the car park where there was a six foot fence and they weren't there,' he said.
'Then all of a sudden the Bandidos arrived and there was a f***ing heap of them. There was a couple of cars led them in and then a heap of bikes.'
There were only about 15 Comanchero at the Viking but about 40 Bandidos. 'I thought, "Oh my god," Eaves said.
'They rode in and saw us. Not only that, they'd sent scouts down to identify that we were there.
'We literally had our backs to the wall, nowhere to run, when they approached us.
'They've pulled up, got out of their cars, off their bikes, charged straight at us and then I just heard gunshots.'
The car park turned into a battlefield as leather and denim-clad civilians waged a suburban war.
'I've read books on what happens to soldiers in battle and what they say is that it's so overwhelming for your brain that you actually go dumb,' Eaves said.
'That's why the military trains you to act instinctively. But it was so confusing to me I couldn't tell who was who in this brawl that was going on.
'It went on for a few minutes. Most of our blokes were down or dead.
'Jock got shot in the head and the lungs. The vice president had been shot and killed, the sergeant-at-arms was killed.'
Eaves was shot dragging Ross and another wounded man to safety.
'I picked up a gun and I shot once into the air and once into the ground as they were coming down to attack and that scared them off,' he said.
'I never hurt anybody, was never accused of hurting anybody, killing anybody, shooting anybody, doing anything like that.'
Two Bandidos and four Comanchero were killed. Tragically, innocent 15-year-old bystander Leanne Walters was slain in the crossfire.
Most of the bikies were rounded up later but Eaves was immediately taken into custody and spent the next four years at Long Bay.
He would be one of 31 bikies to spend 14 months in front of a Supreme Court jury sitting at Penrith in what was then Australia's longest-running criminal trial.
All the Comanchero and Bandidos were charged with murder under the principle of common purpose. No real attempt was made to work out who had killed whom.
Eaves believed police thought some of those charged would roll over and give evidence against their brothers but apart from one Bandido that did not happen - and not all of his testimony was believed.
'We didn't do it not just because we were tight but because we didn't have anything to give up, we didn't have anything to admit that we were guilty of,' he said.
Eaves was still just 24 when sentenced to life in jail in June 1987 after being convicted along with eight others of seven murder charges.
He did not believe the murder convictions would stand and they didn't. All were reduced to manslaughter on appeal.
Eaves was released in December 1988, returned to custody briefly during a High Court appeal and let go again in July 1989, hoping he could get on with his life.
'In those days, there was no internet so I could sort of hide a bit, you know,' he said.
Eaves went into business with the help of his solicitor Leigh Johnson and worked as an insurance and investment agent before deciding to study film-making.
During his trial Eaves had been unimpressed with some of the defence lawyers and realised university could not be that hard.
'I used to think that having a degree you're absolutely a genius and what struck me was that these guys weren't that smart.'
He enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts Communication at the University of Technology, Sydney. Next, he received a First Class Honours degree at Murdoch University.
An experimental film Eaves made at UTS won an award which was presented by acclaimed director Baz Luhrmann in the presence of then NSW premier Bob Carr.
Eaves undertook a Doctorate of Create Arts scholarship at Perth's Curtin University of Technology, which he did not quite complete due to problems with funding.
He continued making films and his work was accepted into international festivals.
Eaves directed a teenage Lucy Durack in the 1998 film Parlami d'Amore, a decade before she played Glinda in the Australian production of Wicked.
Moving into the corporate world, Eaves became head of programming at Sky Racing World and Sky Ringside, where he helped stage world title fights.
A career highlight was his three years as director of pay television at TransACT in Canberra, with responsibility for the operations and strategy of its 52 channels.
Eaves then gained a Graduate Certificate in Management, Change Leadership and Innovation from Flinders University.
For most of this time Eaves' criminal history had not affected his job prospects but that changed after he took on a senior role at the National Film and Sound Archive.
Eaves had been brought in to 'shake the place up' but staff at the archive found out his background and complained.
From that point Eaves has been running from Milperra. He would try to establish himself in new jobs before criminal background checks were completed.
Sometimes the tactic worked, sometimes it didn't. Even the Uniting Church kicked him out of a job after two weeks.
'The criminal record came back, I thought they'd just have a bit of a chat to me about it but no. They said get out of the building immediately.'
'If you've robbed a bank, obviously they're not going to make you a teller,' he said. 'Or if you're a child molester you're not going to be a school teacher. I get that.
'But something from 36 years ago where I never hurt anybody, I'm not allowed to work in an IT department of a church.'
Being present at the worst bikie outrage in Australian history was hard to share with friends, and family. Eaves's son was 11 when he learnt of his history last year.
'He goes into high school this year and I was probably going to tell him but he looked it up and that freaked him out,' Eaves said.
'Sometimes I've known people for may many years and never told them. I used to have this habit that after I've known someone for some time and they know me I might disclose it to them.
'It hasn't cost me any friendships or anything like that. It's more difficult to try and tell a prospective employer up front.'
For the past few years Eaves has volunteered with an organisation of ex-military personnel called Team Rubicon which operates an emergency response team for events such as bushfires.
He was an uncredited consultant on the 2012 television mini-series Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms, which he did not watch beyond halfway through the first episode.
Eaves has no contact with any old Comanchero or Jock Ross and his sister Vanessa, who have been married about 40 years and live on the NSW Central Coast.
'I've been out of work for about a year, but it's like it just gets harder and harder and harder,' he said.
Former prisoners who had done their time needed to be given another chance.
'It's shocking,' Eaves said. 'How's someone not going to go back to crime if they can't get a job and they've got no money? You're destroying someone's life completely.'
The legacy of Milperra is not all bad for Eaves, who would likely not have gone to university if he had not been charged with murder and gone to trial.
'I often wondered would I have just got out of the army and been a mechanic at Parramatta,' he said.
'Whereas this opened up my eyes and since then I've gone on to make lemonade from lemons.
'I've gone on to meet premiers and movie stars and travel the world and do three degrees. It's driven me to achieve, maybe to prove that I wasn't that crook.
'And so I think that without that horror I probably wouldn't have achieved the things I've done on a global level and on a personal level.
'I guess I got to take that out of it. I've got to remind myself of that sometimes too when I'm feeling down.'
The army stuck with Eaves while he was in prison, re-signing him to three more years service while he was at Long Bay on remand.
'My heart and soul's with the army,' Eaves said. 'Still to this day I wish I was back there, right now.'
Seven people were killed on Father's Day in 1984 at Milperra and the massacre continues to damage other lives.
'The outcome of this for both sides is people have died early, people on both sides have committed suicide. My best friend committed suicide 20 years ago.
'It's caused a great toll on people's mental health at different levels. I think everyone involved has been scarred by it and continues to be scarred by it.'

RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano has regularly been linked with a transfer to the Premier League with both Manchester United and Liverpool believed to be keen on the 23-year-old
Manchester United are reportedly targeting a move for Dayot Upamecano after Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was told there is no money for transfers this month.
Klopp is believed to be eager to strengthen his back-line following major injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.
Liverpool have struggled in recent weeks and were this week beaten by Burnley for their first home Premier League loss in almost four years.
They take on Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday but could also be facing a battle with the Red Devils off the pitch.
The Sunday Mirror report that United will go head-to-head with Liverpool in a transfer battle for Upamecano.
It’s claimed that United could steal a march on their rivals as early as this month with Klopp being told funds are not available to him.
United have monitored Upamecano for months and reportedly thought thought they had struck a deal last summer.
The Red Devils pulled the plug on further talks after Upamecano’s father became involved in negotiations.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side came up against RB Leipzig during the Champions League group stage this season with the Bundesliga side eventually knocking the Old Trafford outfit.
On a move for the defender, the United boss had said: “There’s always rumours and speculation about other players and Manchester United.
“I don’t want to comment on every player we’re linked to. Since he’s playing against us tomorrow, I know he’s a very good player and we can see him close up tomorrow.”
Upamecano had said during last summer's transfer window: “For the moment I am with Leipzig but it is true that I was able to discuss with certain clubs.
“As I said, for now I am focused on Leipzig and I will continue to play for Leipzig. And then we’ll see.
“You never know what can happen in a football season.”

Pedopornografia, arrestato a Cagliari un ufficiale della Guardia di Finanza

File pedopornografici in quantità ingente e l’arresto di un ufficiale della Guardia di Finanza di 46 anni, in servizio con incarichi di comando alla stazione navale di Cagliari da poco più di un anno. È questo il risultato della delicatissima indagine iniziata il mese scorso e portata avanti dalla Polizia Postale siciliana ma che ha clamorose ripercussioni anche in Sardegna. L’ufficiale, sotto accusa dalla Procura di Palermo per detenzione e diffusione di materiale pedopornografico, è stato arrestato in base alle indagini condotte nell’ambito di un’ampia indagine legata alla diffusione e detenzione di foto e video a carattere pedopornografico. L’abitazione dell’ufficiale è stata perquisita e sono stati sequestrati computer, attrezzature e supporti informatici.
Il materiale sequestrato nell’abitazione dell’ufficiale sarà ora analizzato dettagliatamente dagli specialisti della Postale. Al 46enne viene contestata la detenzione di un ingente quantitativo di file pedopornografici, ma anche la diffusione: nel corso degli accertamenti sarebbe stato «intercettato» proprio mentre cedeva del materiale. Nell’inchiesta ci sarebbero altri indagati. La Procura di Palermo, da quanto si apprende, avrebbe stralciato la posizione dell’ufficiale di cui si occuperà adesso la magistratura cagliaritana. Dopo l’arresto è stato sospeso dal servizio. I fatti contestati, viene sottolineato, non hanno alcuna attinenza con la sua attività lavorativa.

Haven, stella del nuoto Usa: la rivincita della ragazza vietnamita che doveva morire

Questa è la storia di una ragazza che doveva morire. E che si aggrappò alla vita. La sua mamma e il suo papà non ci sono più. Quelli dai quali è nata, perché poi ci sono anche una madre e un padre che l’hanno cresciuta, e bene. Qualcuno lo chiama destino, come se tutto fosse già scritto: «Fu solo una scelta stupida, ma non porto rancore». Perché poi in questa storia ci sono speranza e ottimismo, non tristezza. Dal Vietnam si arriva agli Stati Uniti, 13mila chilometri separano quel villaggio sulla costa del Pacifico in cui è nata e la cittadina del Missouri dove scoprì la sua nuova casa. Il suo nome ora è Haven, ma quel giorno di marzo del 2003 era Phoung, Fenice. Aveva appena 14 mesi di vita, c’erano mamma e papà uno davanti all’altro che si abbracciavano. In mezzo c’era lei. Proprio sotto le sue gambe, c’era una bomba. Scoppiò: «Loro sono morti e le mie gambe sono scomparse». La trovarono con ustioni sul corpo, schegge conficcate nella testa e parte delle gambe maciullate. Ma ancora viva. I genitori, già impegnati con altri, avevano una relazione nascosta, dalla quale è nata lei. I nonni le raccontarono che quel loro amore non bastava, in una società piena di pregiudizi. Volevano morire insieme. Forse era così. O forse sua madre aveva minacciato di voler troncare quella relazione e lui aveva deciso di porre fine alle loro vite. Poco importa, comunque.
Oggi Haven ha diciassette anni e vive nel Midwest americano. Shelly e Rob Shepherd, già sei figli insieme, la adottarono grazie a una associazione, «Touch A Life Foundation», che si occupa di bambine e bambini con disabilità in zone povere del mondo. Fu un viaggio in moto nella giungla per raggiungere il villaggio. Qualche mese dopo Haven era con loro: «Una benedizione e un miracolo». Era il 19 novembre del 2004: Haven lo ricorda bene e lo descrive quasi come «il giorno della rinascita, credo di essere qui per un motivo». «Ha sempre fatto le cose delle ragazze della sua età. Le sue sorelle e i suoi fratelli l’hanno fatta sentire subito una di loro»: si era solo fatto un po’ di spazio per lei, in quella casa di Carthage, due passi da Springfield, luogo di culto per lo sport, perché lì è nata la pallacanestro.
Ma Haven non giocava a basket. Iniziò a correre seguendo le orme di sua sorella maggiore, Haley. «Mi ispira, volevo essere come lei». Inizio non incoraggiante, in quella gara alle elementari. Ricorda Shelly: «Correva con le protesi normali e inciampò. Cadde, udì le risa intorno. Forse per la prima volta si sentì davvero disabile. Fu devastante». I piccoli a volte sanno essere cattivi senza volerlo davvero: «Ero imbarazzata e nervosa. Ma ho imparato dai miei errori. Sono davvero felice oggi». Perché ora è diverso. Shelly ammette che aveva una visione stereotipata della disabilità: «Volevo darle alternative allo sport, tipo suonare il piano o cucire». Haven le fece cambiare mentalità. Da quel giorno passarono tre anni. Haven iniziò a correre con due protesi nuove, tipo quelle rese famose da Pistorius. Era così veloce che nessuno rideva più: «A volte erano un po’ gelosi, le vorrebbero anche loro». Arrivarono dalla Challenged Athletes Foundation, organizzazione nata per aiutare chi ha disabilità a fare sport, che la premiò poi con il Rising Star Award 2012, riconoscimento per le future «stelle» dello sport paralimpico. Ottima premonizione: Haven arriverà a esserlo e in parte lo è già. Ma non nella corsa. Alle piste di atletica ha sostituito le corsie nell’acqua di una piscina. Era il suo elemento: «Mi sento completamente libera».
Si è dimostrata subito un gran talento anche lì. Fa parte della Nazionale paralimpica di nuoto Usa. L’obiettivo è Tokyo: «Nuotare per il tuo Paese significa molto. Poterlo rappresentare alla Paralimpiade sarebbe un sogno che si avvera». Quando non si allena e studia, Haven si dedica a incontri in scuole e associazioni per promuovere la cultura della diversità o visita militari amputati. Non ha mai avuto paure nel mostrare la sua condizione: «Avevo due scelte: diventare una persona molto insicura ferita nei sentimenti oppure pensare “Oh, mi stai fissando perché ho delle gambe davvero fantastiche”. Presi la seconda strada».
Grazie alla rete, è sempre rimasta in contatto con i suoi nonni e la sorella. Dopo la Paralimpiade tornerà a Na Dang a trovarli. Pensando anche a quel giorno di primavera, stretta fra mamma e papà: «Quel momento è una buona ragione per non passare la vita a essere sempre triste o depressa». Sa che la sua storia può essere una ispirazione per altri. Haven, che doveva morire, ci mostra come la vita sa essere più forte di qualsiasi destino.

SINGER Adele is seen sitting on the kerb of a London street with a pint and a cigarette in a snap shared by her pal.
Writer Laura Dockrill shared a photo of the 32-year-old star and their friends celebrating on the pavement as part of her New Year photo round-up of shots from 2020.
She captioned the snap, taken from afar on a quiet road in the capital at night last year: "Making our own fun."
Wearing a face mask, the star looked dress-up in a pair of heels and cropped trousers as she raised her plastic glass to the camera.
London-born Adele spent 2020 between her homes in the UK and Los Angeles.
She and Laura are friends from their time at the Brit School, the performing arts college that has churned out many of the UK's biggest stars.
Adele has has recently lost around 7st in a dramatic slim-down and showed off the remarkable weight loss in a snap to celebrate her 32nd birthday in May.
Other shots followed throughout the year, including one where she stripped down to a Jamaica flag bikini in honour of the Notting Hill Carnival in August.
However, the picture, which showed her with bantu knots in her hair, saw the star accused of cultural appropriation.
Despite not releasing any music since her chart-topping album 25, Adele has still managed to rake in a fortune in recent years.
In 2018, her public financial records show she was paid a huge £14.4million - and in 2019 she still managed to make £4.75million.
The star is estimated to be worth a staggering £140million, with her records and 2016-17 tour still bringing in the cash.

PETER Andre's daughter Princess, 13, angrily snapped at him after he kissed her on the head in an Instagram video.
The teenager is building up a steady following of her own on social media, with 329,000 followers on Instagram.
In her latest Instagram story, Princess was chatting to fans while using a filter featuring lots of bees.
As she talked, dad Peter, 47, interrupted and planted a kiss on the side of his daughter's head.
She was far from impressed though, and immediately snapped at him while patting her hair back down.
She said firmly: "Please don't do that again."
Peter joked back: "Its all these butterflies flying around, I caught one it was in your hair."
Princess then told her dad he had a fly stuck in his hair before messing with his locks.
Aside from the head kissing incident, the pair were in good spirits as they celebrated the New Year together.
In a sweet post later in the evening, Princess wrote: "This has been a very tough year but hopefully this year is much better.
"Sending all my love to everyone and Happy new year."
While Princess and her older brother Junior were with their dad, their mum Katie Price enjoyed a cosy night in with boyfriend Carl Woods.

Lin Wood hints he will spill casino mogul's legal secrets

The breakdown of attorney L. Lynn Wood's relationship with his longtime client, casino mogul Steve Wynn, has been revealed in a new report, as Wood faces increasing scrutiny for his incendiary tweets leading up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol last week.
Wood and Wynn, both longtime supporters of President Donald Trump, apparently haven't spoken except through attorneys since last March, and Wood is suggesting he will spill Wynn's legal secrets in a legal battle, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Best known for defending security guard Richard Jewell in defamation cases against false claims he was the 1996 Olympic bomber, Wood apparently blamed Wynn for derailing his push for Trump to posthumously award Jewell the Presidential Medal of Honor.
It comes after Wood was banned from Twitter last week after suggesting Vice President Mike Pence should face execution by firing squad for treason, while a Delaware judge kicked Wood off a case there this week for spewing a 'toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication, and surprising incompetence.'
Wood did not immediately respond to an inquiry from DailyMail.com on Tuesday evening, requesting comment on the Journal article and the Delaware judge's remarks.
Wood was for years considered one of the nation's foremost defamation attorneys, representing the family of JonBenet Ramsey and, more recently, Covington Catholic teen Nicholas Sandman in suits against the media.
Over the course of 2020, Wood began to stake out more extreme positions, pushing increasingly dubious conspiracy theories linked to QAnon on his Twitter account.
A strong Trump supporter, Wood backed the president's unfounded claims that the election was stolen through widespread fraud, and partnered with 'Kraken' attorney Sidney Powell in failed lawsuits to overturn the election results.
He also asserted that sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, who died behind bars in 2019, is still alive, and accused Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts of shocking sex crimes, without offering evidence.
And he tweeted that U.S. government agencies were conspiring with Communist China in a blackmail scheme involving child rape.
Wood was banned from Twitter on Friday after suggesting that Pence should 'face execution by firing squad' for 'treason', and claiming that Antifa secretly orchestrated the attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump loyalists.
No evidence has emerged that left-wing extremists were involved in the attack, which came after Trump told his supporters to march on the Capitol from a nearby rally. Wood said Friday that he had 'never advocated violence or civil war.'
In an interview with the Journal, Wood said his falling out with Wynn began at a dinner at Wynn's Palm Beach mansion on March 6.
By his own admission, Wood says he gave a long-winded toast at the dinner, going around the table and praising everyone present for their accomplishments.
'I said Steve was a visionary, and that he made people's dreams come true,' Wood recalled of his toast to his client, a billionaire who made his fortune in the casino industry.
After the dinner, Wood says that Wynn expressed his displeasure with the toast.
Wood says he had a conversation with Wynn, who is Jewish, about his own Christian faith, saying that the two men were 'getting to that point in life where it might not be that important to have another $45 million home,' and urging Wynn: 'Maybe you ought to spend some of that on other people.'
The following day, Wynn fired Wood through another of his attorneys and ordered him to leave his house, Wood said.
The following week, on March 11, Wood had a meeting with Trump at the White House to push his campaign to honor Jewell, but nothing came of the plan.
Wood now says he heard through a friend months later that Wynn had questioned his sanity in a conversation with the president, and now blames the casino mogul for derailing his plan to honor Jewell.
Through his attorney, Wynn declined to comment on Wood's account to the Journal.
'Since the day Mr. Wood ceased representing me, I have avoided making any comment about him. My silence should not be considered as confirming any part of this narrative,' Wynn said.
Wood was Wynn's lawyer in defamation cases and private settlements involving women who alleged sexual misconduct, and is now suggesting that a potential defamation battle could reveal Wynn's legal secrets.
'I would tell everything I could to defend myself,' Wood told the Journal.
Wood said that in a demand letter, he has asked Wynn to pay millions in damages for allegedly disrupting his relationship with Trump. Wood said that he warned Wynn's attorneys that a full-blown court battle could risk the exposure of his work for Wynn.
'I told him it stood a chance of opening attorney-client privilege. If your client is saying you're not mentally stable, that might raise issues about what you did for that client and why,' Wood said.
Meanwhile, on Monday a Delaware judge harshly rebuked Wood and revoked his right to represent former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page in a defamation suit stemming from the Mueller probe.
Judge Craig A. Karsnitz slammed Wood's recent tweets, saying they partly 'incited' the storming of the U.S. Capitol, according to Bloomberg.
'At least one tweet called for the arrest and execution of our vice-president,' and 'another alleged claims against' Chief Justice Roberts that are 'too disgusting and outrageous to repeat,' Karsnitz wrote in a ruling.
'No doubt these tweets, and many other things, incited these riots,' he continued.
However, Karsnitz said that it was ultimately Wood's participation in lawsuits challenging the presidential election results that disqualified him to represent Page.
The judge cited Wood's involvement in lawsuits in Wisconsin and Georgia, saying that the suits were frivolous and had clear deficiencies.
'The Georgia case was textbook frivolous litigation,' and one of the Wisconsin complaints 'would not survive a law school civil procedure class,' he wrote.
'The conduct of Mr. Wood, albeit not in my jurisdiction, exhibited a toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication, and surprising incompetence,' he wrote.
'I acknowledge that I preside over a small part of the legal world in a small state. However, we take pride in our bar.'

Donny van de Beek has struggled since joining Manchester United from Ajax in the summer with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer choosing to start the midfielder in just two Premier League matches
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has praised Donny van de Beek’s attitude, despite acknowledging the Dutchman is unhappy.
Van de Beek was signed by the Red Devils from Ajax in the summer though has made just two Premier League starts.
He is set to be involved in Sunday’s FA Cup tie with Liverpool, with Solskjaer hoping the 23-year-old can prove his worth.
Van de Beek has competition for places at Old Trafford with the likes of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes impressing in the United midfield.
Though Solskjaer has insisted Van de Beek is still working hard and will be ready when called upon, just like the manager was during his playing days.
Solskjaer said: “I wouldn't say that Donny is happy. Of course, he wants to play more, but he gets about his job in the right manner.
“He reminds me a lot about myself, when I first came in, that he understands my difficulties and challenges.
“We are doing well and have got players who are playing really well in his position.
“I was the same with Sir Alex. When he left me out I understood and I was happy for the team to win - and Donny is that type of guy.
“He knows he is important for us and knows he is going to play many games.
“He will definitely be involved in this game against Liverpool and he might be the deciding factor in the game.
“He trusts his own quality. He is a quietly confident guy who deep down knows he is good enough and is just waiting for his opportunity.”
United take on Liverpool having drawn 0-0 with the Reds in the Premier League last weekend.
Solskjaer added: “We’ll rotate that’s for sure, but we’ll put a decent team together of course and a team that I feel can win the game.
“Of course the focus is now on the FA Cup. We know it’s a difficult tie, I’m not the best on draws, I think they should try to get someone else in if they want an easy draw!”

Bis Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts leben viele Küstenbewohner vom Strandgut havarierter Schiffe. Hilfe für Seeleute bleibt aus. Das ändert sich mit Gründung der Deutschen Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger (DGzRS) am 29. Mai 1865 in Kiel.
Jährlich rund 50 Segelschiffe geraten an der deutschen Nordseeküste Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts in Seenot. Aber nur ein einziges Rettungsboot ist im Einsatz. Auch mangelt es an Leuchttürmen und Seezeichen, die den Seeleuten den Weg zwischen Sandbänken und Untiefen, durch Nebel und Sturm weisen könnten.
Strandgut ist gern gesehenes Zubrot
An den Küsten hält sich noch immer das überlieferte Strandrecht, nach dem der Finder die von ihm geborgenen Teile eines Wracks oder auch der Ladung behalten darf. Zwar wünscht niemand Schiffbrüchigen den Tod - dennoch ist das Strandgut ein gern gesehenes Zubrot. "Gott segne den Strand", beten Bauern und Fischer in ostfriesischen Kirchen.
Der Untergang der "Alliance" läutet Wende ein
Den Beginn einer Kehrtwende gibt es 1860. Am Morgen des 10. September strandet die hannoversche Brigg "Alliance", die Kohlen von England nach Geestemünde bringen soll, vor Borkum. Melkerinnen hören die Hilferufe der neunköpfigen Besatzung. Einige Dorfbewohner geben sie vor den Badegästen als Gespenstergeschrei in den Dünen aus, während andere Insulaner schon am Strand auf Treibgut lauern. Augenzeugen, die trotzdem an den Strand geeilt sind, müssen mit ansehen, wie die Seeleute nach und nach von der Brandung über Bord gespült werden und ertrinken. Ihre Leichen liegen noch lange am Strand, während die Borkumer das Wrack plündern.
Aufgerüttelte Bürger gründen die DGzRS
So berichten Zeitungen in ganz Deutschland und empören sich über diese "mittelalterliche Barbarei". Die Artikel liest auch ein Navigationslehrer an der Seefahrtsschule in Vegesack, Adolph Bermpohl, und fordert in Aufsätzen die Einrichtung von Rettungsstationen nach britischem Vorbild. Zwischen Emden und Sylt, Flensburg und Memel setzt nun ein Umdenken ein. Die Küstenbewohner finden sich endlich bereit, Seeleuten, die in Not geraten sind, zu helfen, und aufgerüttelte Bürger wie der Zollinspektor Georg Breusing in Emden gründen örtliche Vereine.
Die treibende Kraft beim Zusammenschluss der regionalen Stationen am 29. Mai 1865 zur "Deutschen Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger" in Kiel wird der Bremer Journalist Arwed Emminghaus. Den Vorsitz übernimmt der Reeder und Mitbegründer des Norddeutschen Lloyd, Hermann Henrich Meier.
100.000 Taler für 50 Rettungsstationen
Die DGzRS, die ihre Zentrale in Bremen einrichtet, benötigt 100.000 Taler, um zunächst 50 Stationen einzurichten, zusätzlich jährlich bis zu 15.000 Taler für die laufenden Kosten. Der Vorstand entwickelt schon damals ein zweigleisiges Spendenmodell, das noch heute gilt: Während Meier auf 1.000-Taler-Spenden setzt, favorisiert Emminghaus den Aufruf zu Klein- und Kleinstspenden, die bald aus ganz Deutschland eintreffen und den Aufbau des Rettungswerks vorantreiben. Seit 1875 gibt es dafür das schwarz-weiß-rote Sammelschiffchen, das schon damals sogar in Bayern und Österreich aufgestellt wird.
Rettung mit der "Hosenboje"
Im Jahr nach der Vereinsgründung retten die Männer an Nord- und Ostsee 141 Menschen aus Seenot. Am 14. Januar 1866 etwa birgt das Memeler Rettungsboot 15 Menschen von der preußischen Bark "Marianne", am 18. Juni holen Wustrower Rettungsmänner vier Seeleute von dem russischen Schoner "Constantin".
Die DGzRS setzt 1866 insgesamt 122 Rettungsboote ein - und auch 19 Rettungsgeschütze: Mit Raketen, die das königlich preußische Feuerwerkslaboratorium Spandau fertigt, werden dabei Leinen vom Strand aus zu havarierten Schiffen hinübergeschossen, bis zu 500 Meter weit. Über diese Verbindung werden Schiffbrüchige dann in einem Rettungsring mit angenähter Hose, der sogenannten Hosenboje, an Land gezogen.
Seenotrettung per Ruderboot
Die Männer leisten Schwerstarbeit. Meist ziehen zunächst Pferde das Boot vom Schuppen durch den Dünensand an den Strand, oft hunderte Meter weit, dann rudern die sechs bis zehn Mann Besatzung unter äußerster körperlicher Anstrengung durch die gefährliche Brandung hinaus. Sie tragen Ölzeug mit Südwester zum Schutz gegen das kalte Seewasser. Eine dicke, um den Oberkörper geschnallte Korkweste soll vor dem Ertrinken schützen. Das eigens entwickelte "Deutsche Normalrettungsboot" misst acht Meter Länge und zweieinhalb Meter Breite. Es ist aus Stahlblech hergestellt und wiegt nur 1.350 Kilogramm. Mit einem Tiefgang von 35 Zentimetern ist es auch für flache Strandgebiete geeignet.
Ein Einsatz kann viele Stunden dauern. Im November 1880 etwa rudern die Rettungsmänner von Süderhöft in Nordfriesland im Gewittersturm zu einem gestrandeten Segelschiff hinaus. Nach 14 Stunden kehren sie zurück. Der Einsatzbericht vermerkt: "Erst nachmittags, 4 Uhr, kamen wir wieder auf der Station an, vollständig durchgefroren, gänzlich erschöpft."
Viele Helfer sterben im Einsatz
Das Boot kann nicht sinken, weil es außen von einem Korkgürtel umgeben ist und innen mit Luftkästen versehen. Aber die Seeleute können etwa über Bord gespült werden. Von 1869 bis 1918 sterben 21 Rettungsmänner auf See. Bis heute sind 45 Menschen im Einsatz tödlich verunglückt. Auch wenn die Schiffe mit den Jahrzehnten immer leistungsfähiger und sicherer werden, sich mittlerweile nach einem Kentern selbst aufrichten können, fordert der Dienst noch immer Menschenleben. So etwa 1995, als der Rettungskreuzer "Alfried Krupp" im Orkan vor Borkum in hoher See querschlug und durchkenterte. Vormann und Maschinist wurden von den Wellen über Bord gespült, ihre Leichen erst lange nach dem Unglück an Land getrieben.
Spender und Freiwillige werden Rückgrat der Seenotretter
In der Frühzeit der DGzRS bedeuten schon die in den 1870er-Jahren entwickelten Segelrettungsboote einen Fortschritt. Sie sind in Büsum, Cuxhaven und Dorumertief stationiert und verfügen bereits über Schutzräume an Deck. 1890 hat die Gesellschaft 111 Rettungsstationen an Nord- und Ostsee, in denen mehr als 1.000 Freiwillige Dienst tun. Fast 50.000 fördernde Mitglieder unterstützen sie mit Geldspenden.
Erstes Motorboot der DGzRS kommt 1911
Als im März 1911 vor Laboe in der Ostsee das erste, zehn Meter lange Motorboot nach britischem Vorbild fährt, kommt das einer technischen Revolution gleich. Das Einsatzgebiet kann nun weiter ausgedehnt, Menschen auch aus strandfernen Seenotfällen gerettet werden. Bei Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs verfügt die DGzRS bereits über 14 motorisierte Rettungsboote. In den 20er-Jahren folgen zahlreiche weitere, die mit Funk ausgestattet sind und von Land aus dirigiert werden können. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs sind die Seenotretter der 34 Nordsee- und 67 Ostsee-Stationen weiterhin im Einsatz. Die Boote sind nun mit einem roten Kreuz versehen, stehen unter dem Schutz der Genfer Konvention und retten weiterhin Seeleute aller Nationen - sowie auch über See abgeschossene Flieger der Kriegsgegner.
Innovativer Schiffstyp: Rettungskreuzer richtet sich selbst auf
Nach 1945 ist die DGzRS weiterhin in der Deutschen Bucht und in der westlichen Ostsee im Einsatz. Der Seenotrettungsdienst der DDR hingegen wird bis zur Wiedervereinigung 1990 staatlich organisiert. In den 1950er-Jahren baut die Gesellschaft dann einen neuen Seenotrettungskreuzer-Typen mit Tochterboot, das auch im Flachwasser einsetzbar ist. Das Typschiff "Theodor Heuss", 1957 in Dienst gestellt und bis 1985 für die DGzRS im Einsatz, kann sich unter anderem selbst aufrichten. In der Weiterentwicklung werden die Rettungskreuzer der neuen Typ-Klasse immer vielseitiger und sicherer.
85.000 Menschen aus Seenot gerettet
Mehr als 85.000 Menschen verdanken den Mitarbeitern der DGzRS in den rund 155 Jahren seit ihrer Gründung Rettung und schnelle Hilfe. Allein 2019 waren es fast 3.400 Menschen, von denen 81 aus Seenot gerettet und weitere 270 aus Gefahr befreit wurden. Heute fahren die Seenotretter mit 60 Booten auf 55 Stationen. Die private Initiative, die 1865 zur Gründung der DGzRS führte, ist bis heute ihre Grundlage. Auch wenn der Bundespräsident traditionell als Schirmherr auftritt, liegt die Organisation noch immer in den Händen der ausschließlich aus Spenden finanzierten Gesellschaft, ihrer 180 festangestellten und mehr als 800 freiwilligen Rettungsmänner und -frauen.

LIAM Gallagher has ended his feud with brother Noel saying 'I love you and this is our year' as an Oasis reunion is predicted for 2021.
The famous brothers' fractious relationship has been well documented for years, having started during the peak of Oasis' fame.
The pair traded verbal blows on numerous occasions until the band finally split in 2009, with more insults being slung at one another in the months and years that followed.
Despite this, Oasis fans have been desperate for the siblings to reunite the band and get back on stage, and as 2021 dawned, Liam appeared to offer everyone some hope.
Taking to Twitter, the 48-year-old singer wrote to his older brother, who reportedly turned down £100m for an Oasis reunion in the past: "HNY Noel love you long time 2021 is our year c’mon you know LG x".
While Noel, 53, is yet to respond, fans tweeted their hopes for an Oasis reunion and the brothers finally making amends.
One wrote: "I hope it happens this year, Liam. Just a nice drink together would be grand."
Another tweeted: "At this point I think Noel and Liam restoring their family is far better than Oasis getting back together. Like don’t get me wrong it’d be great but I think them to reconciling would be far better."
A third added: "I'd love nowt more for you two to get back on speaking terms first then think about a reunion. I'd f***ing love to be there though if you do get back together though."
Meanwhile Ladbrokes have given an Oasis reunion in 2021 odds of 10/1.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Little By Little the odds of Oasis getting back together are shortening so fans may well get their wish this year."

NAGA MUNCHETTY'S BBC Radio 5 Live show suffered dead air on Tuesday morning as the presenter listened to a caller who was a disabled person facing struggles with fire safety in their property.
Naga, 45, kicked off her radio show by discussing the devastating effect of cladding on buildings across the UK, three and a half years after the Grenfell Tower disaster. With discussion of fire safety in high-rise properties high on the agenda, the BBC 5 Live show host welcomed caller Sarah to talk about her experience as a disabled woman living in flats and what protocols are in place to get her out of the building if a blaze did ignite. However, listening to what her guest had been through, the host was utterly shocked and had to apologise for her silent reaction to what she was hearing.
Sarah explained she moved to Birmingham in 2008 and needed to find a place to live as she had just got a new job.
“Accessible housing is just not existent,” she explained, adding how she had to spend a lot of money to adapt the flat to cater to her disability.
“I really invested a lot because I love my flat and the plan was it was my home for life and it turns out I was mis-sold this home,” she continued.
The guest then told Naga how the bills for the building work had got worse over the past year as not only were there cladding problems but there were multiple defects with the building.
“I’ll be honest, I think I was in denial,” she said, before stating how the breaking point was when she realised the fire fighting lift to her flat on the 13th floor wasn’t actually a fire fighting lift.

“We got a letter to say neither the fire service nor any residents can use it in an evacuation,” Sarah added.
“So I somehow needed to get myself down 26 flights of stairs although I cannot walk,” she explained, prompting silence from Naga.
The dead air wasn’t a technical mistake by any means but rather Naga was trying to comprehend what she had just listened to.
“Sorry, excuse the silence but how would you get out if there is a fire?” the presenter asked with the caller going on to explain the measures which had been put in place.
“My resident's board are really supportive and they quickly helped me find a fire evacuation chair,” the guest explained.
Sarah went on to add she received the delivery of the piece of equipment on Monday and has since practised how to use it.
“Lying awake thinking about it last night and how it’s going to work was a bit scary but we’re trying to make the most of what we can do.
“That’s why we set up a group for disabled leaseholders because, in addition to these eye-watering bills, disabled people around the country in high-rise buildings are in really dangerous situations,” she continued.

“The Government is just not listening to us; not engaging, not giving us any sort of information, advice or support,” Sarah stated.
Naga replied: “It’s great there is a group of people who can support each other,” before saying she was sure a lot of people would have had sympathy with her situation.
After ending the interview, the presenter commented” “It’s heartbreaking, isn’t it? Listening to Sarah and that feeling of insecurity and just the basic thing of trying to make yourself safe."
A Government minister was asked to appear on the show but no one was available and instead, a statement was given with their response.
Naga read: “We understand many people are worried. We’re providing £1.6 billion to make homes safer, quicker.
“With around 95 percent of the most high-risk building identified at the start of 2020 are now remediated or with work underway.
“Our £30 million funds will also help end the scandal of excessive waking watch costs for residents of high rise buildings with cladding.
“Building owners should meet the costs of remediation without passing them onto leaseholders where it’s possible.”
The Naga Munchetty show airs Monday to Wednesday at 10am on BBC 5 Live.

Ottman Azaitar was due to fight Matt Frevola at UFC 257 on Saturday night but has now been cut from the organisation completely following a security violation on Fight Island
UFC president Dana White has explained why Ottman Azaitar has been cut from the organisation.
Azaitar was due to fight Matt Frevola at UFC 257 on Saturday night, though was removed following a security violation.
Frevola has been rescheduled to face Arman Tsarukyan in the prelims with Conor McGregor ’s fight with Dustin Poirier headlining the main card.
Though for undefeated lightweight Azaitar, the UFC days are over with White left fuming at the security violation.
The fight chief told BT Sport : "Yeah it's pretty amazing actually.
"So he and his team cut off their wristbands, gave them to somebody outside the bubble - I don't know how they even did it - that guy taped them and showed up here with a bag.
"He went into a room, shimmied across four balconies, went in his room, dropped the bag off, changed his clothes and left.
"When security tried to stop him he wouldn't stop either way and it's just bad. He's gone, he's no longer a UFC fighter. And he's not fighting."
He added: "One guy got inside the bubble, went in through a room and shimmied down four balconies, got in through his balcony and dropped off a bag of we don't know what.
"He changed his clothes and went back outside the bubble. We got everything on camera, we saw the whole thing and how it all went down and pulled his fight and cut him."
Azaitar, who was born in Germany, leaves the UFC with 13 wins from 13 MMA fights.
He fought just twice under the UFC banner, winning both his bouts in the first round and earning two Performance of the Night awards.

CORONATION Street star Sally Ann Matthews led tributes tonight after her "wonderful" on-screen dad Mark Eden died aged 92.
The veteran actor - whose real-life widow Sue Nicholls still stars in the soap as Audrey Roberts - was best known for playing villain Alan Bradley from 1986 to ’89.
The English actor, known for his portrayal of Alan Bradley on the popular soap in the 80s, passed away in the early hours of this morning.
The 92-year-old had been living with Alzheimer's disease for some time and had been hospitalised in November last year.
Actress Sally Ann Matthews, who plays his screen daughter Jenny Bradley, said: “I loved this man so much. Thank you for being the most wonderful TV Dad, teacher and friend.”
John Whiston, head of ITV Studios in the North, said: “We are all hugely saddened. The character he played, Alan Bradley, made a real impact.
“He was a consummate actor and played a psychotic villain to a tee, making the character both chilling and credible. The show owes a great deal to Mark."
The actor made a name for himself in Corrie but also starred in the Doctor Who serial Marco Polo.
His agent said in a statement: "We are very sad to announce the death of actor Mark Eden.
"He died peacefully, in hospital, earlier today, 1st Jan 2021. Mark had been living with Alzheimer's disease for some time, and was hospitalised in November.
"Mark, 92, had a long career spanning more than 50 years, including eight years in Coronation Street as character Alan Bradley.
"He is survived by his wife Sue, his daughter Polly, his stepson Paul and grand-daughter Emma. We ask that their privacy be respected at this very difficult time."
John Whiston, managing director of continuing drama and head of ITV Studios in the North, paid tribute to the actor who brought the Corrie villain to life.
He said in a statement: "We are all hugely saddened to hear of the death of Mark Eden. The character he played, Alan Bradley, made a real impact in the three years he was in the show, embarking on a reign of terror and clashing with just about every other character in Coronation Street.
"He was a consummate actor and played the role of psychotic villain to a tee, making the character both chilling and credible.
"The show owes Mark a great deal as he set the template for all the great villains to come, from Hillman and Phelan to our latest baddie, Geoff Metcalfe.
"It's a fantastic dramatic legacy. Our thoughts go out to Sue and their family and friends at this sad time."
Born Douglas John Malin, Eden's first screen credit was in 1958 with a role in Quatermass And The Pit.
He left school at the age of 14.
Eden then went on to appear at the Royal Court Theatre before scoring a role in the soap.
His run in Coronation Street ended after his character was killed by a Blackpool tram and Eden later unveiled a plaque at the tram stop where the scene was filmed.
Eden also worked with the Beach Boys, even writing a musical about them.
His career also saw him appear in an episode of Poirot and star in the 1965 film Doctor Zhivago.

FERNE McCann has been spotted kissing hunky Jack Padgett on a trip to South Africa.
The Sun revealed yesterday that 30-year-old Ferne was in the sun-drenched country with the model and her three-year-old daughter, Sunday.
Ferne and Jack posted near-identical pictures at the exact same locations, including the penguin-packed Boulders Beach, at the same times.
Now the First Time Mum star has appeared to confirm her new romance, being shown leaning in and hugging the lad.
Former Towie star Ferne also admitted that she’s feeling "broody" for a sibling for her daughter Sunday.
In an interview published today she told the Mail: “100% I would love to have more kids, I really want to grow my family.
“I am very happy and content at the moment, but the other day I started to feel broody. I saw a pregnant woman in the supermarket and it set me off!
“I started to get that feeling again, honestly, I would love to be pregnant, I love that cosy feeling of growing a baby inside you.
“It is crazy and a bit alien but it was an amazing experience that I would love to have again."
Though she didn't mention Jack, who has 15,000 Instagram followers, directly – Ferne did say she's open to finding love again.
She said: “I'm open to love and I can't wait to meet the one, have kids, get married and run off into the sunset! But there wasn't much dating going on for me last year because of the pandemic.”
Ferne’s love life has been a hot topic for fans since she had Sunday in 2017 – and began broadcasting her life as a single parent on ITVBe's First Time Mum.
She shares her little one with ex Arthur Collins, who is serving 20 years in prison for an acid attack.

A marriage boils over in the latest dark tale from P.D. JAMES

No one introduces a twist in the tale quite like P. D. James, as the Mail’s exclusive series of her short stories has shown.
Today, we publish part one of our third and final headscratching whodunit, A Very Desirable Residence.
During and after Harold Vinson’s trial, at which I was a relatively unimportant prosecution witness, there was the usual uninformed, pointless and repetitive speculation about whether those of us who knew him would ever have guessed that he was a man capable of scheming to murder his wife.
I was supposed to have known him better than most of the school staff, and my colleagues found it irritatingly self-righteous of me to be so very reluctant to be drawn into the general gossip about what, after all, was the school’s major scandal in 20 years.
‘You knew them both. You used to visit the house. You saw them together. Didn’t you guess?’ they insisted, obviously feeling that I had been in some way negligent, that I ought to have seen what was going on and prevented it. No, I never guessed; or, if I did, I guessed wrong.
But they were perfectly right. I could have prevented it. I first met Harold Vinson when I took up a post as junior art master at the comprehensive school where he taught mathematics to the senior forms.
It wasn’t too discouraging a place, as these teaching factories go.
The school was centred on the old 18th-century grammar school, with some not-too-hideous modern additions, in a pleasant enough commuter town on the river about 20 miles South East of London. It was a predominantly middle-class community, a little smug and culturally self-conscious, but hardly intellectually exciting.
Still, it suited me well enough for a first post. I don’t object to the middle class or their habitats; I’m middle class myself. And I knew that I was lucky to get the job.
Mine is the usual story of an artist with sufficient talent but without enough respect for the fashionable idiocies of the contemporary artistic establishment to make a decent living.
More dedicated men choose to live in cheap bedsitting rooms and keep on painting. I’m fussy about where and how I live so, for me, it was a diploma in the teaching of art and West Fairing Comprehensive.
It only took one evening in Vinson’s home for me to realise that he was a sadist. I don’t mean he tormented his pupils. He wouldn’t have been allowed to get away with it had he tried. These days the balance of power in the classroom has shifted with a vengeance and any tormenting is done by the children.
No, as a teacher he was surprisingly patient and conscientious, a man with real enthusiasm for his subject (‘discipline’ was the word he preferred to use, being something of an intellectual snob and given to academic jargon) with a surprising talent for communicating that enthusiasm to the children.
He was a fairly rigid disciplinarian, but I’ve never found that children dislike firmness provided a master doesn’t indulge in that mordant sarcasm which, by taking advantage of the children’s inability to compete, is resented as particularly unfair.
He got them through their examinations too. Say what you like, that’s something middle-class kids and their parents appreciate.
I’m sorry to have slipped into using the word ‘kids’, that modern shibboleth with its blend of condescension and sycophancy. Vinson never used it. It was his habit to talk about the alumni of the sixth.
At first I thought it was an attempt at mildly pompous humour, but now I wonder. He wasn’t really a humorous man. The rigid muscles of his face seldom cracked into a smile and when they did it was as disconcerting as a painful grimace.
With his lean, slightly stooping figure, the grave eyes behind the horn-rimmed spectacles, the lines etched deeply from the nose to the corners of his unyielding mouth, he looked deceptively what we all thought he was — a middle-aged, disagreeable and not very happy pedant.
No, it wasn’t his precious alumni whom he bullied and tyrannised. It was his wife.
The first time I saw Emily Vinson was when I sat next to her at Founder’s Memorial Day, an archaic function inherited from the grammar school and regarded with such reverence that even those masters’ wives who seldom showed their faces at the school felt obliged to make an appearance.
She was, I guessed, almost 20 years younger than her husband, a thin, anxious-looking woman with auburn hair which had faded early and the very pale, transparent skin which often goes with that colouring. She was expensively and smartly dressed — too incongruously smartly for such a nondescript woman, so that the ill-chosen, too-fashionable suit merely emphasised her frail ordinariness.
But her eyes were remarkable, an unusual grey-green, huge and slightly exophthalmic under the arched, narrow eyebrows. She seldom turned them on me but when, from time to time, she gave me a swift elliptical glance it was as astounding as turning over an amateurish Victorian oil and discovering a Corot.
It was at the end of Founder’s Memorial Day that I received my first invitation to visit them at their home. I found that they lived in some style. She had inherited from her father a small but perfectly proportioned Georgian house which stood alone in some two acres of ground with lawns slanting green down to the river.
Apparently her father was a builder who had bought the house cheaply from its impoverished owner with the idea of demolishing it and building a block of flats. The planning authority had slapped on a preservation order just in time and he had died in weeks, no doubt from chagrin, leaving the house and its contents to his daughter.
Neither Harold Vinson nor his wife seemed to appreciate their possession. He grumbled about the expense; she grumbled about the housework. The perfectly proportioned façade, so beautiful that it took the breath, seemed to leave them as unmoved as if they lived in a square brick box. Even the furniture, which had been bought with the house, was regarded by them with as little respect as if it were cheap reproduction.
When at the end of my first visit I complimented Vinson on the spaciousness and proportions of the dining room, he replied: ‘A house is only the space between four walls. What does it matter if they are far apart or close together, or what they are made of? You’re still in a cage.’
His wife was carrying the plates into the kitchen at the time and didn’t hear him. He spoke so low that I scarcely heard him myself. I am not even sure now that I was meant to hear.
Marriage is both the most public and the most secret of institutions, its miseries as irritatingly insistent as a hacking cough, its private malaise less easily diagnosed.
And nothing is so destructive as unhappiness to social life. No one wants to sit in embarrassed silence while his host and hostess demonstrate their mutual incompatibility and dislike.
She could, it seemed, hardly open her mouth without annoying him. No opinion she expressed was worth listening to. Her small domestic chat — which was, after all, all she had — invariably provoked him by its banality so that he would put down his knife and fork with a look of patient, resigned boredom as soon as, with a nervous preparatory glance at him, she would steel herself to speak.
If she had been an animal, cringing away with that histrionic, essentially false look of piteous entreaty, I can see that the temptation to kick would be irresistible. And, verbally, Vinson kicked.
Not surprisingly they had few friends. Looking back it would probably be more true to say that they had no real friends. The only colleague of his who visited from the school, apart from myself, was Vera Pelling, the junior science teacher, and she, poor girl, was such an unattractive bore that there weren’t many alternatives open to her.
Vera Pelling is the living refutation of that theory so beloved, I understand, of beauty and fashion journalists in women’s magazines that any woman if she takes the trouble can make something of her appearance. Nothing could be done about Vera’s pig-like eyes and non-existent chin, and, reasonably enough, she didn’t try.
I am sorry if I sound harsh. She wasn’t a bad sort. And if she thought that making a fourth with me at an occasional free supper with the Vinsons was better than eating alone in her furnished flat I suppose she had her reasons, as I had mine.
I never remember having visited the Vinsons without Vera, although Emily came to my flat on three occasions, with Harold’s approval, to sit for her portrait. It wasn’t a success. The result looked like a pastiche of an early Stanley Spencer. Whatever it was I was trying to capture, that sense of a secret life conveyed in the rare grey-green flash of those remarkable eyes, I didn’t succeed.
When Vinson saw the portrait he said: ‘You were prudent, my boy, to opt for teaching as a livelihood. Although, looking at this effort, I would say that the choice was hardly voluntary.’ For once I was tempted to agree with him.
Vera Pelling and I became oddly obsessed with the Vinsons. Walking home after one of their supper parties, we would mull over the traumas of the evening like an old married couple perennially discussing the inadequacies of a pair of relatives whom we actively disliked but couldn’t bear not to see.
Vera was a tolerable mimic and would imitate Vinson’s desiccated tones. ‘My dear, I think that you recounted that not very interesting domestic drama last time we had supper together.’
‘And what, my dear, have you been doing with yourself today? What fascinating conversation did you have with the estimable Mrs Wilcox while you cleaned the drawing room together?’
Really, confided Vera, tucking her arm through mine, it had become so embarrassing that it was almost enough to put her off visiting them. But not quite enough, apparently. Which was why she, too, was at the Vinsons’ on the night when it happened.
On the evening of the crime — the phrase has a stereotyped but dramatic ring which isn’t inappropriate to what, look at it as you will, was no ordinary villainy — Vera and I were due at the school at 7pm to help with the dress rehearsal of the school play. I was responsible for the painted backcloth and some of the props, and Vera for the make-up.
It was an awkward time, too early for a proper meal beforehand and too late to make it sensible to stay on at school without some thought of supper, and when Emily Vinson issued through her husband an invitation to both Vera and me to have coffee and sandwiches at six o’clock, it seemed sensible to accept.
Admittedly, Vinson made it plain that the idea was his wife’s. He seemed mildly surprised that she should wish to entertain us so briefly — insist on entertaining us, was the expression he used.
Vinson himself wasn’t involved with the play. He never grudged spending his private time to give extra tuition in his own subject but made it a matter of rigid policy never to become involved in what he described as extramural divertissements, appealing only to the regressed adolescent.
He was, however, a keen chess player and on Wednesday evenings spent the three hours from nine until midnight at the local chess club, of which he was secretary. He was a man of meticulous habit and any school activity on a Wednesday evening would, in any case, have had to manage without him.
Every detail, every word spoken at that brief and unremarkable meal — dry ham sandwiches cut too thick and synthetic coffee — was recounted by Vera and me at the Crown Court, so it has always intrigued me that I can no longer visualise the scene. I know exactly what happened, of course. I can recall every word. It’s just that I can no longer shut my eyes and see the supper table, the four of us seated there, imprinted in colours on the mind’s eye.
Vera and I said at the trial that both Vinsons seemed more than usually ill at ease, that Harold, in particular, gave us the impression that he wished we weren’t there. But that could have been hindsight.
The vital incident, if you can call it that, happened towards the end of the meal. It was so very ordinary at the time, so crucial in retrospect.
Emily Vinson, as if uneasily aware of her duties as hostess and of the unaccountable silence which had fallen on the table, made a palpable effort. Looking up with a nervous glance at her husband, she said: ‘Two such very nice and polite workmen came this morning ––’
Vinson touched his lips with his paper serviette, then crumpled it convulsively. His voice was unusually sharp as he broke in: ‘Emily my dear, do you think you could spare us the details of your domestic routine this evening? I’ve had a particularly tiring day. And I am trying to concentrate my mind on this evening’s game.’ And that was all.
The dress rehearsal was over by about nine o’clock, as planned, and I told Vera that I had left a library book at the Vinsons’ and was anxious to pick it up on the way home. She made no objection.
She gave the impression, poor girl, that she was never particularly anxious to get home. It was only a quarter of an hour’s brisk walk to the house and, when we arrived, we saw at once that something was wrong. There were two cars, one with a blue light on the roof, and an ambulance parked unobtrusively but unmistakably at the side of the house.
Vera and I glanced briefly at each other, then ran to the front door. It was shut. Without ringing we dashed round to the side. The back door, leading to the kitchen quarters, was open.
I had an immediate impression that the house was peopled with large men; two of them were in uniform. There was, I remember, a policewoman bending over the prone figure of Emily Vinson. And their cleaning woman, Mrs Wilcox, was there too.
I heard Vera explaining to a plain-clothes policeman, obviously the senior man present, that we were friends of the Vinsons, that we had been there to supper only that evening. ‘What’s happened?’ she kept asking. ‘What’s happened?’
Before the police could answer, Mrs Wilcox was spitting it all out, eyes bright with self-important outrage and excitement. I sensed that the police wanted to get rid of her, but she wasn’t so easily dislodged. And, after all, she had been first on the scene. She knew it all.
I heard it in a series of disjointed sentences: ‘Knocked on the head — terrible bruise — marks all over the parquet flooring where he dragged her — only just coming round now — human fiend — head resting on a cushion in the gas stove — the poor darling — came in just in time at 9.20 — always come to watch colour TV with her on Wednesday night —back door open as usual — found the note on the kitchen table.’
The figure writhing on the floor, groaning and crying in a series of harsh, grunting moans like an animal in travail, suddenly raised herself and spoke coherently. ‘I didn’t write it! I didn’t write it!’
‘You mean Mr Vinson tried to kill her?’ Vera was incredulous, head turning from Mrs Wilcox to the watchful, inscrutable faces of the police.
The senior officer broke in: ‘Now Mrs Wilcox, I think it’s time you went home. The ambulance is here. An officer will come along for your statement later this evening. We’ll look after Mrs Vinson. There’s nothing else for you to do.’
He turned to Vera and me. ‘If you were here earlier this evening, I’d like a word. We’re fetching Mr Vinson now from his chess club. But if you two will just wait in the sitting room, please.’
Vera said, ‘But if he knocked her unconscious and put her head in the gas oven, then why isn’t she dead?’ It was Mrs Wilcox who replied, turning triumphantly as she was led out: ‘The conversion, that’s why. We’re on natural gas from this morning. That North Sea stuff. It isn’t poisonous. The two men from the Gas Board came just after nine o’clock.’
They were lifting Emily Vinson onto a stretcher now. Her voice came to us in a desperate wail. ‘I tried to tell him. You remember? You heard him? I tried to tell him . . .’

Gesundheitsminister Spahn hat einen von den SPD-geführten Ländern verfassten Fragenkatalog zur Impfstoff-Beschaffung beantwortet. Eine zurückhaltende Haltung gegenüber dem US-Produkt von Moderna weist er zurück.
Gesundheitsminister Jens Spahn steht wegen der Impfstoff-Versorgung in der Kritik. Mit einem umfassenden Fragenkatalog wollten die SPD-geführten Länder Details zur Produktion und Beschaffung des Impfstoffes gegen das Coronavirus klären. Nun liegen die Antworten des CDU-Politikers vor.
Spahn rechtfertigt in seinen Antworten das Vorgehen der Bundesregierung bei der Impfstoff-Beschaffung. In dem 30-seitigen Papier, das dem SPIEGEL vorliegt, heißt es unter anderem: »Die EU steht mit ihrer Auswahl der Impfstoffhersteller und den getroffenen Vereinbarungen sehr gut da. Sollten alle Präparate zentral zugelassen und die getroffenen Vereinbarungen erfüllt werden, würden in Europa für alle rund 450 Millionen Europäerinnen und Europäer und seine Nachbarschaft mehr als zwei Milliarden Impfstoffdosen zur Verfügung stehen.«
Eine zurückhaltende Haltung gegenüber dem US-Produkt von Moderna wies Spahn zurück. Seinen Antworten zufolge habe es keine Rolle gespielt, dass es sich dabei um einen rein US-amerikanischen Impfstoff handele, der in der europäischen Pandemie-Bekämpfung eine untergeordnete Rolle habe spielen sollen.
Voraussetzung für die Verhandlungen auf EU-Basis sei es jedoch gewesen, dass die Hersteller potenzieller Corona-Impfstoffe eine EU-Zulassung anstrebten und auch in Europa produzieren würden. Damit soll den EU-Staaten sicherer Zugriff gewährleistet werden. Die Verhandlungen über zusätzliche Impfdosen mit Moderna laufen Spahn zufolge noch. Das Gesundheitsministerium bevorzuge jedoch auch hier den europäischen Weg und werbe bei seinen europäischen Partnern dafür, auch mit Moderna kurzfristig eine Mengenaufstockung auf EU-Ebene zu vereinbaren.
Fragen zu Millionen abgelehnten Impfdosen
Der Fragenkatalog nimmt auch Bezug auf Medienberichte, wonach die Impfstoffhersteller Moderna und Biontech deutlich höhere Mengen an Impfdosen angeboten hätten. Der SPIEGEL hatte bereits im Dezember über das Planungsdesaster von EU und Bundesregierung bei der Impfstoff-Beschaffung berichtet. Hunderte Millionen Impfdosen waren SPIEGEL-Recherchen zufolge abgelehnt worden.
Genaue Angaben zu den Zahlen macht Gesundheitsminister Spahn nicht. In seinen Antworten heißt es jedoch, es habe während der Sondierungsgespräche von den Unternehmen verschiedene Angebote gegeben, darunter seien auch solche mit höheren Mengen gewesen. Die endgültig vorliegenden Vertragskonditionen seien das Ergebnis komplexer Verhandlungsprozesse. Neben der Bestellmenge seien dabei insbesondere die Lieferfristen und Lieferkonditionen, der Preis, die Höhe der notwendigen Anzahlung sowie Haftungsfragen zu berücksichtigen gewesen.
Die SPD-geführten Länder und Vizekanzler Olaf Scholz hatten den umfassenden Fragenkatalog Anfang Januar an Spahn gesendet. Das vier Seiten umfassende Dokument war in die drei Themenkomplexe »Beschaffung, Produktionsausweitung, Verimpfung« gegliedert. Insgesamt wurden 24 Fragen mit jeweils bis zu acht detaillierten Unterfragen gestellt.
Spahn hatte auf den Vorstoß der SPD vor gut zwei Wochen mit Kritik reagiert. »In dieser echt schweren Phase der Pandemie, denke ich, erwarten die Bürgerinnen und Bürger zu Recht Geschlossenheit und Entschlossenheit ihrer Regierung«, sagte er damals.
Vizekanzler Scholz hatte den Fragenkatalog verteidigt. Es gebe in der Pandemie keine Fragen, die nicht gestellt werden dürften und nicht beantwortet werden müssten, sagte der SPD-Kanzlerkandidat damals.

JUSTIN Bieber blanked on the words performing his own hit, Sorry, during a live New Year's Eve concert.
The 26-year-old pop star later admitted his mistake and apologized to fans on Twitter.
Justin forgot some lyrics of two of his songs during his T-Mobile Presents: NYE Live with Justin Bieber concert on top of the Beverly Hilton hotel.
He messed up lyrics to his 2015 hit, Sorry.
Justin first admitted he forgot the words during the number, and then later he tweeted: "I forgot the words" only @justinbieber #Sorry #BieberNYE."
The performer also missed a few words during the Love Yourself number.
But he rang in 2021 on a good note ringing in the new year with his new song, Anyone.
Justin's devoted wife Hailey was by his side posting a snap in a sexy strapless black dress, which she captioned: "Happy New Year."
Earlier this week, Haily shut Justin down when he made a crude joke about their sex life.
Hailey initially commented on a video of him performing his hit song, Lonely: "My jaw??? On the floor."
Justin cheekily replied: "Your jaw is other places too, let's be honest."
Model Hailey, 23, shot back: "Omg please go to sleep."
The couple is known for flaunting their PDA when they're out and often on social media.
They have been keeping a low profile since "cutting ties" with disgraced Hillsong pastor, Carl Lentz.
Carl was one of the lead pastors at Hillsong NYC before being fired for cheating on his wife Laura with several women.

Über eine Lockdown-Verlängerung scheinen sich Bund und Länder bereits einig zu sein. Und auch die Schulen sollen nun wohl länger als geplant geschlossen bleiben. Die Warnungen vor einer zu voreiligen Öffnung der Schulen werden indes immer lauter.
Vor entscheidenden Beratungen von Bund und Ländern über die weiteren Corona-Maßnahmen haben sich die Warnungen vor einer schnellen Rückkehr zum regulären Schulunterricht gemehrt. Eine Wiederaufnahme des vollständigen Präsenzunterrichts sei "in diesen Tagen nicht vorstellbar", sagte Bundesbildungsministerin Anja Karliczek (CDU) in einem am Montag veröffentlichten Interview. Auch SPD-Chefin Saskia Esken nannte eine rasche Rückkehr der Schulen zum Regelbetrieb "illusorisch".

Kultusminister: Schulen sollen geschlossen bleiben
Die Kultusministerkonferenz reagierte: Am Montag beschloss sie, dass Deutschlands Schulen zur Eindämmung der Pandemie voraussichtlich länger als bislang geplant geschlossen bleiben sollen. Das teilte die Kultusministerkonferenz am Montag in Berlin mit. Aufgrund des Infektionsgeschehens müssten unter Umständen die im Dezember beschlossenen Maßnahmen in Deutschland oder in einzelnen Ländern fortgeführt werden. Sollte es die Situation in einzelnen Ländern erlauben, sei die Wiederaufnahme des Schulbetriebs in Stufen möglich.
Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) will am Dienstag mit den Regierungschefs der Bundesländer über das weitere Vorgehen gegen die Corona-Pandemie beraten. Wie die „Bild“-Zeitung und das Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) berichten, sollen sich Bund und Länder bereits über eine Verlängerung des Lockdowns bis 31. Januar einig sein.
Im Vorfeld wollen sich laut Medienberichten an diesem Montag die Kultusminister der Bundesländer abstimmen. Der seit Mitte Dezember geltende harte Lockdown war zunächst bis zum 10. Januar - also kommenden Sonntag - befristet worden.
Konsens über Lockdown: Deutschland befindet sich "in der härtesten Phase"
Im Vorfeld der Beratungen hatte sich bereits ein breiter Konsens über eine Verlängerung des harten Lockdowns abgezeichnet, in dessen Rahmen neben einem Großteil des Einzelhandels auch die Schulen und Kitas weitgehend geschlossen sind. Ministerpräsidenten verschiedener Parteien hatten am Wochenende deutlich gemacht, dass sie keine Grundlage für größere Lockerungen sehen.
Der sächsische Ministerpräsident Michael Kretschmer (CDU) und Thüringens Regierungschef Bodo Ramelow (Linke) hatten für eine Verlängerung des harten Lockdowns bis Ende Januar. Kretschmer nannte dies im Gespräch mit dem Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) "unvermeidbar". Deutschland befinde sich "in der härtesten Phase dieser Pandemie". Ramelow sagte dem MDR: "Wir wollen am Dienstag klar festlegen: Wir werden bis zum 31. Januar verlängern."
Auch der saarländische Ministerpräsident Tobias Hans (CDU) sagte, um eine dritte Ausbreitungswelle des Virus zu verhindern, "müssen wir weiterhin an einem harten Lockdown festhalten". Einen Regelbetrieb an Schulen und Kitas im Januar bezeichnete Hans in den Zeitungen der Funke Mediengruppe als kaum denkbar.

Tschentscher verlangt wissenschaftliche Grundlage
Die Infektionszahlen seien "weiter besorgniserregend hoch" und die Auswirkungen der Feiertage auf die Corona-Lage noch unklar, warnte auch Bundesbildungsministerin Karliczek in den Funke-Blättern. Sie sprach sich deshalb gegen "eine vollständige Rückkehr zum vollständigen Präsenzunterricht in allen Jahrgängen" aus. Die Lage an den Schulen werde in den nächsten Wochen schwierig bleiben.
Hamburgs Bürgermeister Peter Tschentscher (SPD) verlangt, "dass der Bund darlegt, auf welcher wissenschaftlichen Grundlage beziehungsweise Datengrundlage er eine weitere pauschale Schließung von Kitas und Schulen fordert und wie er sich vorstellt, dass damit die wesentlichen Funktionen der Grundversorgung und medizinischen Behandlungskapazitäten aufrechterhalten werden sollen", wie er der "Welt am Sonntag" sagte.
Baden-Württembergs Kultusministerin Susanne Eisenmann (CDU) hatte gefordert, Kindergärten und Grundschulen unabhängig von den Infektionszahlen schon ab dem 11. Januar wieder zu öffnen - und dies auch dann, wenn der Lockdown über den 10. Januar hinaus verlängert werden sollte. SPD-Gesundheitsexperte Karl Lauterbach hat diesen Vorschlag anschließend scharf kritisiert. Sollte Unterricht wieder in den Schulen stattfinden, wäre die gesamte Arbeit der vergangenen Wochen umsonst gewesen, sagte Lauterbach am Samstag dem Südwestrundfunk (SWR) in Baden-Baden.
Gewerkschaft fordert Verlängerung um „mindestens eine Woche“
Die Gewerkschaft Erziehung und Wissenschaft (GEW) forderte, den Lockdown in den Schulen mindestens solange zu verlängern, bis klar sei, wie sich Silvester auf die Corona-Infektionszahlen auswirke. Die Bundesländer sollten deshalb die Schulschließungen um "mindestens eine Woche" verlängern, sagte GEW-Chefin Marlis Tepe dem RND.
SPD-Chefin Esken sagte der Düsseldorfer "Rheinischen Post", selbst wenn Ende Januar die Infektionszahlen erste Lockerungen möglich machen sollten, werde "volle Präsenz" dann zunächst nur in den Grundschulen möglich sein. Der Unterricht in weiterführenden Schulen müsse hingegen dann weiterhin in geteilten Klassen und mit einem Wechsel von Präsenz- und Fernunterricht erfolgen.

JUSTIN Hartley shared the first selfie with his girlfriend Sofia Pernas while his ex Chrishell Stause celebrated the New Year with Keo Motsepe.
The former pair tied the knot in 2017 before parting ways in 2019.
The This Is Us actor took to Instagram before the clock struck midnight and posted a black and white photo alongside the Blood & Treasure star.
He captioned it: "Last minutes of 2020 here in LA. Bring on 2021! Happy New Year!"
People were loving the post as they shared their thoughts in the comments section.
One person wrote: "happy new year you two," while another wrote, "Cheers to an adorable couple."
Sofia also confirmed her relationship with Justin, 43, on her own social media platform as she shared a snap of the two and wrote: "Sayonara 2020, it’s been real. Happy New Year from our quarantine den to yours."
Justin first met Sofia, 31, in 2015 while working on the show The Young and the Restless while they played an on-screen couple - Chrishell also appeared on the show
Meanwhile, the Selling Sunset star was having the time of her life with her man as she took to her Instagram Stories to share a clip of the pair.
The video starts off with the couple saying "happy new year!" as Keo kisses the reality star a few times on the head.
Chrishell says: "Should we say anything else?" before Keo responds: "Um...I'm very grateful of you."
Chrishell, 39, then adds: "Don't tell them that! You guys get nothing! Why are they so many haters on here?
She continues: "I love the...the good guys...there's a lot of good people on here."
"You're so cute," Keo says while laughing.
Justin shocked family and friends in November 2019 by filing for divorce from Chrishell, a move which reportedly came out of the blue for the realtor.
The cameras were rolling in November when she later claimed on camera that Justin told her over text message with 45 minutes notice that he had filed.
Speaking to friend Mary Fitzgerald, she said: "We had a fight that morning over the phone… we didn't talk things through, and before we had a chance to figure anything out he filed.
"I found out because he text me that we were filed. 45 minutes later, the world knew."
Breaking down in tears, Chrishell said: "I talked to him right after [the text] because I thought that must be a joke, but that was the end of communication. What do you say after that?"
Soon after, Chrishell also hinted that Justin may have cheated, however, many of his friends and family have defended him, including his own mom.
At the time, sources close to Justin alleged to Us Weekly that "Chrishell was very jealous of lots of women Justin interacted with, even if it was people he solely had strict work relationships with."
Chrishell, who fans speculated had an affair with her Dancing With The Stars partner Gleb Savchenko, has been fairly open about her new relationship with professional dancer Keo as well as the rumors.
She previously wrote: "If you love love, feel free to leave your beautiful positivity below.
"If you are insane & tied up in ridiculous conspiracy theories that were never, and have never had any truth to them, by all means let your crazy flag fly! Ha! Entertaining either way."

フリーアナウンサーの小倉智昭(73)、フジテレビの山崎夕貴アナ(33)、立本信吾アナ(34)が司会を務めるフジテレビ系『情報プレゼンター とくダネ!』(月~金 前8:00)が、3月26日をもって終了することを13日、同局が発表。小倉は同日の放送で、1999年4月1日にスタートした同番組の22年の歴史に幕を下ろすことを生報告した。
【写真】ひざ上スカートでランウェイに登場した山崎アナ
番組の終盤で小倉は「3月で『とくダネ』が終了します、というお話をさせていただきます」と終了を報告し、「足掛け22年、3月いっぱいで終了することになりました。本当に、皆さんに長い間、ご覧いただいた」と視聴者に感謝。小倉の背後には放送開始当初の映像が流され「この映像を見ますと、20年前というのはね、ダブダブの服を着るのがはやっていた。古い感じがするよね。大病しているんじゃないかという感じに見えるほど細い」と照れ笑いした。
続けて、「次の世代の人にキャスターというポジションを譲って、新たなる番組がスタートするといいのかな」と思いを寄せると、「最近、切っ先が弱くなってですね。やや保身に走るきらいがあった」と自身の現状も吐露。「病気してからネット情報を見るようになった。そしたら『老害じゃないか』とか『ボケているんじゃないか』と。そういう言葉はキツいもんなんですよ。お年寄りの政治家を見ると『年を取るとダメだな』と少しずつ思うようになりました。そんなこともあって、私はそろそろいいのかな、と」と目をうるませながら語る。それでも最後は「残りはありますから! 騒ぎます!」と番組終了まで全力投球することを誓っていた。
この日は、緊急事態宣言に7府県に追加されるなど新型コロナウイルス関連のニュースを伝えた。2019年10月からスペシャルキャスターを務める作家で社会学者の古市憲寿は「『とくダネ!』よりコロナが続くと思わなかった」と話すと、小倉は苦笑いを浮かべていた。
放送開始から11日分までの番組平均世帯視聴率は8.0%。2011年7月18日の放送では、歴代最高世帯視聴率となる16.4%を獲得した(いずれもビデオリサーチ調べ、関東地区)。
放送開始当初から小倉が司会を務め、2016年7月には「同一司会者による全国ネットのニュース情報番組」での放送回数最多記録を更新。21年1月13日で、その放送回数は5594回となった。

MARK Eden was a former Coronation Street actor.
He passed away peacefully on New Years Day in 2021.
Mark Eden was an English actor who passed away at the age of 92.
His best known role was as Alan Bradley in Coronation Street - a character he played from 1986 to 1989.
Mark was delayed in starting his acting career as he contracted TB.
He told The Express in 2018: “I was 15 years old when I decided I wanted to be an actor. Real life got in the way for a few years.
"I contracted tuberculosis, spent two years in a sanatorium, worked on the fairgrounds, got married… in fact, I was almost 30 by the time I joined Everyman Theatre Group in Ramsgate."
Speaking about the start of career, he said: "The 60s was a great period for British drama. I worked with people like Peter Sellers, Boris Karloff, Alec Guinness and Dirk Bogarde.
"My CV didn’t look too bad, either – Doctor Zhivago, The Prisoner, Doctor Who. Life was all right. I was earning good money and I had made it as an actor."
Mark's career also involved working with the Beach Boys, writing an autobiography and acting in film.
Mark played Alan Bradley, a villain in the show.
However, before landing his big role, he actually starred in the soap for six months as lorry driver Wally Randle in 1978.
He returned in 1986 to play Bradley.
Bradley was killed off after a Blackpool Tram ran over him.
Mark Eden was married to another Corrie actress, Sue Nicholls who plays Audrey Roberts.
Sue met Mark later on in life when she was aged 39.
Mark had been married three times in his life, first to Joan Long, then Diana Smith, all before he met Sue.
He had children: a daughter called Polly and stepson named Saul.
He had a grand-daughter named Emma.
Mark's agent confirmed that he died in the early hours on New Years Day at the age of 92.
He died peacefully in hospital, which is where he had been staying since November.
Mark had been living with Alzheimer's "for some time".
His agent issued this statement: "Mark had a long career spanning more than 50 years, including eight years in Coronation Street.
"He is survived by his wife Sue, his daughter Polly, his stepson Saul and grand-daughter Emma.
"We ask that their privacy be respected at this very difficult time."

VICTORIA Beckham may not be in the Spice Girls any more - but she's not afraid to prove she's still got the moves.
The 46-year-old star, now a fashion designer with her own high-end range, teamed up with her nine-year-old daughter Harper for an epic dance video.
Appearing in dramatic backlit style with the sun behind them at the Beckham family's country pad in the Cotswolds, Posh struck a hopeful tone.
She wrote: "Dancing into 2021 and we're feeling optimistic! Kisses from me and Harper Seven! xx."
The pair then performed in synch to TikTok classic Shower by Becky G - displaying some very impressive moves.
Wearing a black cap and a loose-fitting top, the star whirled around alongside her daughter, who was in a light top and a skirt.
Victoria has bowed out of the Spice Girls in recent years but still has the dance moves that come with being part of the powerhouse pop group.
She failed to join the others, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Mels B and C, on their recent sell-out tour, preferring to focus instead on her fashion brand.

TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry opened up and admitted she "missed every shot she took" during a difficult 2020.
The 28-year-old mom of- four opted to ring in 2021 at home with her four sons.
Kailyn shared a snap of her taking a shot on the basketball court captioned: "I missed damn near every shot I took in 2020.
"Figuratively & literally but we are gonna try again in 2021 - no expectations. &&&& there’s a new episode of @coffeeconvospodcast today!

The reality star posted more pics in her Instagram stories of her low-key New Year's Eve celebration at home.
She shared a cute pic of Creed in black and tan tie-dye pajamas captioned: "Creed says see y'all next year."
Kailyn also posted a pic of Isaac, Lincoln and Lux snuggling in bed together captioned: "How are you celebrating New Year's Eve?"
This morning, she also shared a pic of Lux snoozing, which she captioned: "A real-life angel."
The MTV star has four sons, Isaac, 10, Lincoln, seven, Lux, three and Creed, four months.
It has not been an easy year for Kailyn, as she admitted in the Teen Mom 2 season 10 finale she "caused a s**t storm" when she previously claimed Javi "wanted to f**k her” despite him being in a relationship with Lauren Comeau at the time.
The cheating scandal involving Kailyn, Javi and Lauren, started after Kailyn alleged Javi tried to hook up with her in a parking lot.
Kailyn would later admit: “I really did Lauren dirty.”
While talking to her ex Jo Rivera and his wife Vee, Kailyn said she was going to get "s**t" for the allegations.
Back in September, Kailyn was also arrested for "punching" her ex and baby daddy Chris Lopez "several times with a closed fist" after he cut their son Lux's hair.
Kailyn denied the fight turned physical to the police.
She was released with no bail amount, as she agreed to appear at all scheduled court hearings.

Labour accuses Boris of delaying elections to secure 'vaccine bump'

Labour has accused Boris Johnson of delaying local elections beyond May because of coronavirus to secure a 'vaccine bump' at the polls.
Downing Street is considering delaying the town hall elections until June amid concerns it would be too dangerous to proceed.
The elections, initially planned for May 6, were discussed by mayors last week after they were approached by civil servants about safeguarding issues.
More 40 million people are entitled to vote in the upcoming elections with 140 county council, district council and unitary authorities up for grabs.
Thirteen mayoral contests are due to take place - including in London, Greater Manchester, the West Midlands, Liverpool City region and Bristol.
The elections, which include those postponed last year, will represent the first major electoral test of Britain's political leaders since the start of the pandemic.
Tory candidates have requested polls be held in October if they are delayed until July because they fear it will be hard to find activists willing to go door-to-door in August.
But the call has now led to claims from the Labour Party that the PM is deliberately trying to delay the local elections until a more opportune moment.
Andrew Gwynne, the shadow local government secretary, said: 'Countries across the world have held elections. But sadly the Conservatives are now using coronavirus as a justification for fixing the dates of ours to benefit them.
'This isn't about the pandemic, it is about Boris Johnson trying to get a vaccine bump at the next set of elections.'
It comes as No10 tries to accelerate the vaccine roll-out by operating 24-hour jab centres amid pressure to bring the cycle of lockdowns to an end.
Concerns over social-distancing at polling stations have been raised and politicians fear door-to-door campaigning may not go ahead due to potential spread of the virus.
Downing Street said that the date of the local elections 'continues to be kept under review'. Tory party co-chairwoman Amanda Milling signalled last week that a delay is very likely.
The Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly elections, which are held on the same day, are set by the devolved administrations in Edinburgh and Cardiff.
Insiders claim Nicola Sturgeon will also try to delay the election if she has 'cover', and has already introduced legislation making it possible to delay the poll.
A similar law is being planned to make it possible to postpone the Welsh Assembly elections by as much as six months, the Times reports.
However, London mayor Sadiq Khan does not want to move the elections as an upcoming vote could be politically advantageous to him.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham was consulted on the delays and he reportedly believes that a postponement is inevitable.
A Cabinet Office spokeswoman told the paper: 'Legislation provides that the elections will go ahead in May 2021.
'We continue to work closely with the electoral community and public health bodies to resolve challenges and ensure everyone will be able to cast their vote safely and securely and in a way of their choosing.
'Measures are planned to support absent voting at short notice. Guidance will be published in good time ahead of the polls and this matter will be kept under review.'
A senior Whitehall source told the Sunday Times: 'Local government leaders have had a suggestion from government that the elections are moved to June or July, but many think that's too soon to ensure polling booths are safe so have mooted the idea of September.
'Holding the elections with postal votes only has been ruled out.'

Der Iran hat einen unter südkoreanischer Flagge fahrenden Chemikalientanker beschlagnahmt. Zuvor war der Tanker von seiner Route abgewichen und in iranisches Gewässer gefahren.
Wie iranische Medien am Montag berichten, habe der Tanker „den Persischen Golf mit Chemikalien verunreinigt“. Daher habe sich die paramilitärische „Revolutionsgarde“ entschlossen, das Schiff zu beschlagnahmen.
Satellitenbilder zeigen das Schiff namens MT Hankuk Chemi vor dem Hafen der iranischen Stadt Bandar Abbas. Eigentlich hätte sich der Tanker auf dem Weg in die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate befinden sollen.
Der Iran hat indes mit der umstrittenen Erhöhung seiner Urananreicherung in der Atomanlage Fordo südlich der Hauptstadt Teheran begonnen. "Das technische Prozedere für Urananreicherung auf 20 Prozent hat vor einigen Stunden in Fordo begonnen", sagte Regierungssprecher Ali Rabiei am Montag auf dem Regierungsportal Dolat.
Irans Präsident Ruhani gegen neues Atomgesetz
Sowohl die iranische Atomenergieorganisation AEOI als auch Präsident Hassan Ruhani sind gegen das neue Atomgesetz. Laut Verfassung müssen sie die im Parlament verabschiedeten Gesetzte jedoch umsetzen. Präsident Ruhani hält das Gesetz für politisch unklug und sieht es im Zusammenhang mit einem internen Machtkampf vor der Präsidentenwahl im Juni. Das Gesetz würde seiner Ansicht nach die diplomatischen Bemühungen um eine Rettung des Wiener Atomabkommen von 2015 nach dem Amtsantritt des gewählten amerikanischen Präsidenten Joe Biden gefährden, der am 20. Januar vereidigt wird.
Der amtierende US-Präsident Donald Trump war 2018 aus dem Atomdeal ausgestiegen. Teheran hofft auf eine Aufhebung der damit verbundenen US-Sanktionen, die das Land in die schlimmste Wirtschaftskrise seiner jüngeren Geschichte gestürzt haben.

CHLOE Ferry has told fans she plans on staying in Dubai for "two months" after sharing another saucy holiday snap.
The Geordie Shore star donned a string bikini as she posed on her knees on a beach in the UAE, holding her perky posterior in her hands.
Chloe, 25, smiled as she let her blonde locks flow down her back, looking glamorous in a full face of make-up and the rainbow-coloured swimwear.
Kneeling on the beach at night, skyscapers and hotels can be seen lit up in the background as the reality star flaunted her curves.
She cheekily held onto her ample behind, writing to fans that she was "not coming home" from her holiday destination.
Later explaining on stories, Chloe explained: "I was supposed to be leaving in two days but I've decided I'm staying here for two months. I'm not leaving!"
Chloe shouted excitedly at the news as friends chimed in to celebrate, before filing herself smiling walking around the city.
Joined by pals Bethan Kershaw and Sophie Kasaei, it's not the first time this week that Chloe has treated fans to a sexy holiday snap.
On Wednesday, the blonde beauty almost spilled out of her swimsuit as she posed with her "twin" Bethan.
Giving views of her cleavage, Chloe wowed followers in a cut-out number alongside her friend, captioning the post: "Two peas in a pod."
The Geordie is the latest reality celebrity to fly out to Dubai for some much-needed winter sunshine.
Megan McKenna, Maura Higgins and Molly-May Hague have been among the many others visiting the UAE.

TEEN Mom star Briana DeJesus affirmed her mom Roxanne did NOT use the N-word on the show.
The mom of two insisted her mom is "the furthest thing from racist."
Briana told Champion Daily her mom: “never, ever use that word in relation to Devoin or anyone else."
She went on to say her mother “is the farthest thing from racist that there is in the world...”
She continued: “Calling for her to be fired from the show because of using a word she did not use is downright ridiculous.
"If she did use the word- which, again, she 100% did not- I could understand people being offended.”
In the interview, Briana also called for the release of the show's raw footage saying: “it will be to prove that we are not lying and trying to cover this up.
"We are completely taking charge of the situation and wanted to address it as we want people to know my Mom absolutely did not and would not ever say this word.”
She concluded her remarks by sharing: “Happy, blessed new year and look forward to continuing to share our journey with all of you next year.”
On Teen Mom 2, viewers thought Roxanne said the N-word when she and Briana discovered that Devoin leaked her private number online.
In the scene, Briana says: "It's got to stop. I'm not going to allow it to happen."
Roxanne replies: "I'm going to say something. What he did today... exposing your number to the public. That's shady, he did that to be spiteful. But that's illegal what he did."
She goes on: "Next they'll be knocking on our f***ing door because this [bleep] went and gave out your information."
Fans trying to read Roxanne's lips believe this is when she made the racist slur, and MTV bleeped it out.
Devoin also recently claimed Briana might be racist in his latest dig amid their ongoing feud over child support.
He shares a nine-year-old daughter, Nova, with Briana, and she is also mom to three-year-old daughter, Stella, whom she shares with ex Luis Hernandez.
Devoin wrote on Instagram: "I'm starting to think this bih don't like black men. You racist or sum?"
Briana replied: "I really don't appreciate being called racist. 1) I love people of all color 2) I have children of color ) I myself have color in my DNA."
She continued: "Just because I do not like you as a person doesn't mean you can yap at the mouth and make false accusations. I don't need my 9-year-old mixed daughter reading this on social media and think I hate people of color.

MONEY HEIST season 6 is hoped for by fans of the Netflix drama. But how could it actually happen?
La Casa de Papel has been confirmed as ending with season five on Netflix. This was announced back in July 2020 as it was confirmed the series would be the most dramatic yet. However, there are a few ways the show might continue on, according to its cast and crew - here’s all you need to know about this.
The most popular news Money Heist fans can hope for is if the show were brought back for a sixth season.
Currently, this is off the cards but this would not be the first time Netflix went back on its decision to end a series.
What’s more, some of the cast members have even hinted this may be a possibility in the future.
Lisbon star Itziar Ituño teased this back in November 2020 when speaking to Spanish publication Vertele.

She said: “I think it’s the right decision to close the story of La Casa De Papel there, but who knows if in the future it will be reconsidered.”
However, she was also clear she wanted the show to end before it grew tired.
She added: “I am one of those who think that stories have to be just the right length so as not to tire or turn into gum that stretches until it breaks.”
Therefore, although this seems to be quite unlikely at the moment, there could still be a change of heart for the Spanish thriller.
Money Heist creator Álex Pina has previously spoken about the possibility of creating spin-offs for his show.
He teased this in an interview with Oprahmag.com back in 2020.
Pina said: "We do have many possibilities for some spin-offs, yes, and I think that's thanks to the strong and powerful identities of the characters.
"We’ve always looked for characters to have a very complex, layered design.
“So I think almost every character of Money Heist has a duality that we would like to see in a spin-off. We could watch any of them in other contexts."
There are just rumours at the moment about whether these could actually happen but this is certainly a good sign.

One confirmed way the show will be continuing is with a Korean remake set to make its way to Netflix.
This was announced by the streaming platform back in December 2020 when it was confirmed creator Pina will be involved.
He said at the time: “Korean creators have been developing their own language and audiovisual culture for years.
“They have managed, like our series, to go beyond cultural borders and become a point of reference for thousands of viewers around the world, especially among young people.
“That is why I find it fascinating that the world of La Casa de Papel is so attractive to Korean creators as to do an adaptation.
“The fact that the action is set on the Korean Peninsula also seems to me to be a milestone which I am really delighted about."
No cast or release date have been announced yet for this but Netflix has confirmed it will be directed by Kim Hong-sun and written by Ryu Yong-jae.
Money Heist seasons 1-4 are available to stream on Netflix now.

Teachers union leader pushes to keep schools closed as she vacations

A Chicago Teacher's Union leader is under fire for pushing for remote schooling as she vacations in the Caribbean.
Sarah Chambers, who is on the CTU's executive board and serves as an area vice president, has been claiming it is not safe for Chicago public schools to reopen next Monday amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
But that hasn't stopped her from jetting off on holiday to Puerto Rico - an island that has clocked more than 110,000 cases of the coronavirus.
Chambers reportedly took to Instagram on Thursday to share a snap that showed her reclining poolside, accompanied by a caption which read: 'We have the whole pool to ourselves. Then, we are going to old San Juan to get some yummy seafood mofongo.'
An image purportedly posted by Chambers to the same account the previous day showed the union leader soaking up the sun as tropical palm trees blew in the background.
The snaps subsequently began being shared on social media, with many calling Chambers a 'hypocrite' for taking a tropical holiday whilst claiming it was 'unsafe' to return to the classroom.
Her Instagram account is now private.
However, the educator has doubled down on Twitter:, writing 'I got 4 covid tests (2 rapid, 2 PCR) b4 coming here & wore 2 masks (N95). Scientists said airplanes are safer than grocery stores bc airplanes have ICU level filtration & everyone wears masks. '
She added: 'My doc said it’s extremely unlikely for me to get Covid again since I had it so badly.'
However, the CDC states that Americans should 'avoid all travel to Puerto Rico' due to the island's 'very high levels of COVID'.
Chambers is continuing putting pressure on officials to delay the reopening of public schools.
On the same day she was in Puerto Rico she wrote: 'Hearing of an educator revolution happening. Tons of members are emailing their admin: I’ll be asserting my right to continue to work in a safe remote environment on January 4th, 2021. I have signed the pledge, along with over 8,000+ union educators to continue to work remotely.'
The CTU is threatening strike action if schools do reopen on Monday.
That has angered many parents of Chicago public school students who are eager for their children to return to in-person classes.
Several social media users are now calling on the CTU to fire Chambers for her jet-setting vacation.
'Sarah Chambers went on vacation to Puerto Rico while saying schools aren’t safe and advocating for remote learning. Hypocrisy at its finest! I hope her district sees this and fires her,' one wrote.
Another chimed in: 'Sarah Chambers should be forced to resign or be fired. She celebrates our children's suffering.'

British holidaymakers to dodge EU speeding fines

British drivers will escape most European speeding fines because of the end of an agreement for sharing motorists’ information.
An EU cross-border directive required the DVLA to share the contact details of those caught speeding on camera in member states.
But the UK’s departure from the bloc means owners of British-registered vehicles will no longer be sent fines from EU countries.
It also means the DVLA will not be able to request the details of European drivers caught speeding or committing other motoring offences in Britain, The Times reported.
Hundreds of thousands of Britons have been fined in recent years, with 440,000 penalised last year for offences filmed by roadside cameras in France.
French police requested 555,847 driver details from the DVLA from January 2019 to September 2020, an average of 1,000 a day. The AA warned UK holidaymakers they were being exploited as ‘cash cows’ by French officials who feared they could lose out when Britain left the EU.
Penalties in France, the most popular destination for British drivers, range from £61 to £3,360. These can be levied up to a year after the offence.
The change could result in a loss of more than £50million for the French government if visitor numbers reach their former levels after the pandemic, according to French motoring site Caradisiac.
British drivers in the EU will still face on-the-spot fines if they are stopped by police and found to be travelling too fast.
France and Britain began sharing information about speeding offences caught on camera only last year, despite the EU directive dating back to 2015.
The UK had initially opted out of the scheme, saying the cost of the IT systems and of processing penalties would be higher than the income from foreign drivers committing offences in Britain.
The French government says it wishes to negotiate an agreement with Britain to allow fines to be sent from one country to another. So far no such arrangement has been made.

James Corden unveiled as new face of Weight Watchers saying he’s ‘fed up’ with how he looks

JAMES Corden has been signed up as the face of WW - the new name for Weight Watchers.
The Gavin & Stacey actor, a star of late-night TV in America, told fans he was "sick and tired" of failing to lose weight every year - saying it was making him sad.
The 42-year-old explained: "I want to change the way that I live. I want to be better for my children and for my family."
Late Late Show host James vowed to lose weight on the WW programme, joining stars including pop star Robbie Williams who have promoted the product.
In an at-times emotional video recorded for the weight-loss giant he admitted he'd spent more than a decade trying and failing to slim down.
He said: "I've realised that every year for the past decade - probably even 15 years - on January the 1st I've told myself and anyone that would listen that I'm going on a diet, I'm going to lose a load of weight.
"I'm fed up with the way I look, I'm fed up with being unhealthy, this is the year I'm doing it.
"Because of that, over Christmas I've eaten everything that's in the fridge because in my head in January I'm starting this diet and ti'll be a success. And as you can see it hasn't.
"It's starting to get me down in a way. I've never been able to stick to anything like that.
"I've spent a long time accepting that this is my body and that's it. But I really am sick and tired of just doing the same thing every year.
"I contacted the people at WW and I said: 'Look, can you help me with this? Why does this keep not working for me?'
"They told me that what I'm probably doing wrong is that I'm going on a diet and that is probably not the answer.
"They said: 'If you stick with our regime, which is more about wellness and health and feeling better rather than lose a load of weight this can absolutely work.'"
He added: "I don't want to wake up tired, or feel embarrassed when I'm chasing my son on the soccer field and out of breath after three minutes."

Der SPIEGEL berichtete über einen offenbar von einer PR-Firma gepflegten Wikipediaartikel über DFB-Generalsekretär Friedrich Curtius. Nun geht die Online-Enzyklopädie den Verband an.
Die Online-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia verlangt vom Deutschen Fußball-Bund (DFB) Aufklärung über eine bezahlte Bearbeitung des Eintrags über DFB-Generalsekretär Friedrich Curtius. »Mit fairem Sportsgeist hat das nichts zu tun. Der DFB muss jetzt klar Stellung beziehen, ob und wie es zu der Beauftragung kommen konnte«, sagte der Geschäftsführende Vorstand von Wikipedia Deutschland, Abraham Taherivand, der »Frankfurter Rundschau«.
Hintergrund ist, dass Curtius im Sommer 2019 seinen Wikipediaartikel überarbeiten ließ – offenbar vom Beratungsunternehmen Esecon. Die Firma untersucht seit Frühjahr 2019 im Auftrag des DFB interne Geldflüsse und wurde im März 2020 mit einer Generalinventur betraut, bei der es auch darum geht, die Sommermärchen-Affäre aufzuklären. Der SPIEGEL konnte den Vertrag über die Erarbeitung von Curtius' Wikipedia-Beitrag einsehen und berichtete zuerst darüber. Der Vertrag wurde im Juni 2019 vom Generalsekretär sowie von Schatzmeister Stephan Osnabrügge unterschrieben.
Demnach veranschlagte Esecon rund 15.000 Euro für die mehrmonatige »Aufbauphase« des Eintrags. Für die spätere Betreuung der Seite, die »Pflegephase«, kalkulierte Esecon mit bis zu 1200 Euro pro Monat. Ein »regelmäßiges Monitoring« und die »kontinuierliche Anpassung« einer Wikipedia-Seite sei für »Personen der Zeitgeschichte« ein wichtiges Mittel »des Reputationsmanagements«, schrieb Esecon in seinem Angebot.
Der DFB teilte der »Frankfurter Rundschau« mit, dass der Auftrag »bereits im Oktober 2020« beendet worden sei. Wer den Auftrag ausgeführt hat, sagte der DFB nicht.
»Das Paid Editing, also die bezahlte Erstellung oder Überarbeitung von Artikeln, steht im Widerspruch zur Idee ehrenamtlicher Mitarbeit und ist nur unter Einhaltung strenger Auflagen geduldet«, sagte Taherivand. Und weiter: »Insbesondere wurde eine mögliche bezahlte Überarbeitung des betreffenden Artikels nicht transparent gemacht.«
Wikipedia hat den Eintrag zu Curtius mit einem Warnhinweis versehen. »Die Neutralität dieses Artikels oder Abschnitts ist umstritten«, stand am Dienstagvormittag direkt unter dem Namen. Zudem gibt es einen Eintrag unter der Überschrift »Imagepflege bezahlt vom DFB«.

SOFIA Richie has had quite the island to make her escape to following her breakup with longtime boyfriend Scott Disick.
The reality star is currently in a controversial relationship with teen model, Amelia Hamlin.
The 22-year-old has been taking it to Instagram a lot a lately to share various photos of her vacation as she continues to live it up.
The model has been showing off her current vacation spot as she's been lounging with family and friends.
Sofia has not only been distracting herself with the sun and sand, but she has also been taking numerous bikini snaps on a yacht.
She has not been flying solo either as Sofia has even posed with her famous father, Lionel Richie.
All this comes after Sofia dated the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Scott, 37, from 2017 until their breakup earlier this year.
Since their split, he has been dating Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna's daughter, Amelia.
They were first linked over Halloween, but were spotted at the same group dinner together in June.
The two have since been spotted together at restaurants and walking on the beach.
Over Thanksgiving Amelia shared a snap with Scott in which she wrote that she was thankful for him.
The photo showed the two posing in front of a beach at sunset.
However, Scott, instead posted how he was thankful for his three children, who he shares with Kourtney Kardashian - Mason, 10, Penelope, eight, and Reign, five.
Amelia, who previously saw Scott called a "creep" by a fan after he sent her a flirty message, recently addressed people who hate on their relationship.
Sharing a pouting selfie, she wrote: "People are extra weird and judgmental these days…
"People can embrace themselves however they feel fit for them at that moment in time."
She concluded: "People grow. People learn to love themselves more and more."
A source recently told E! News of Scott and Amelia's relationship: "Scott and Amelia are talking and hanging out, but neither are looking for anything serious."
Their relationship exists "away from his role as a father," the insider added.

Sisters launch dating app in lockdown and it's already had a wedding

Sisters Jess and Lou Alderson know all about heartbreak – and now they’re experts in matchmaking too.
Only a year ago the siblings launched a dating app that has proved so successful it has just celebrated its first wedding.
Their secret? Putting personality first, not appearance.
Rather than presenting an array of pictures, SoSyncd gives potential partners a compatibility score based on psychoanalyst Carl Jung’s theory of personality types – for example ambitious, nurturing, practical or fun.
The concept certainly worked for Ben Fox, 43, and his now wife Indiana, 41.
The trainee English teacher and life coach ‘matched’ with the supply chain manager and yoga instructor on the app last April and they married in December in France, where they live.
SoSyncd started life after Jess, 30, returned to the UK heartbroken having moved to Australia for love in 2017.
The former equity researcher at investment bank Morgan Stanley had intended to build a life In Sydney with her boyfriend, but ‘vast differences’ soon started to emerge between them.
After the break-up, she began learning about compatibility factors in relationships and hared what she had discovered with Lou when they reunited in London in February 2019.
Jess said: ‘Lou told me her friends and colleagues were going on these terrible app dates with people they had nothing in common with. Suddenly, I realised I knew a much better way of matching people.’
Lou, 27, was so impressed with the idea that she eventually quit her job in property to join the venture.
After its launch in January last year, SoSyncd became one of the fastest growing dating apps in its first year ever in the UK, with more than 30,000 people signing up.
Users fill out a profile and take a personality quiz, before being presented with partners to choose from.
The app pairs people through a unique algorithm based on compatibility scores.
SoSyncd is free and a paid-for upgrade service is planned for later this year.
Mr Fox, originally from Norwich, said: ‘The app helped us form a bond. We talked about likes and dislikes over a longer timespan than is usual.’

外反母趾、ぎっくり腰、冷え性、O脚、生理痛…20代から30代にかけて度重なる体の不調を経験したという、骨盤矯正パーソナルトレーナー・Naokoさん。「私がそこから救われたのは、体にゆがみをもたらす“根本”をケアしてあげたことにある」といい、現在は“おしり筋”を伸ばすメソッドで体のゆがみを整えて不調の根本をケアする方法を発信。正月からの食べすぎ飲みすぎを実感することも多いこの時期に有用なエクササイズを聞いた。
【動画】14キロ痩せトレーナーNaokoの1分でできる”ペタ腹ストレッチ”、お腹周りの脂肪に効く呼吸法も
■体の土台となるお尻を伸ばしてあげるだけで、気になるぜい肉は落ちていく
Naokoさんの著書『1分おしり筋を伸ばすだけで劇的ペタ腹! -おしり整体メソッドでおなかも脚もみるみる細くなる!』(学研)は、オリコン年間本ランキング2020の美容ダイエットのジャンルで2位に。「多くの反響をいただき、ありがとうございます。『何をしても痩せれなかったのに、お腹がちゃんと痩せました』『気持ちいいから続きます~』と読者の皆様から多くの声をいただきました。やりやすく、わかりやすく、でも効果的に! という部分にこだわって、作りました。その工夫が、読者の方にも伝わったようで嬉しく思います」と話してくれた。
Naokoさんが提唱するのは、“おしり筋”を伸ばすストレッチ。「体の土台となるお尻を伸ばしてあげるだけで、気になるぜい肉は落ちていく」という。
「お尻は、体の土台です。お尻が怠けると、体がゆがみやすく、動かさない筋肉が多くなる。そこに脂肪がつくんです。逆にいえば、お尻さえ整えておけばバランスよく筋肉を動かせる。理想の体型をキープすることができます。私は30歳、35歳、40歳と5年おきに出産してきましたが、その度に15kg程度増えた体重を無理なく戻してきました。体が硬い、運動習慣がない、何度もダイエットに失敗してきた…という人も大丈夫です。“おしり筋伸ばし”なら、どんな人も自分史上最高の体に導いてくれるはずです」
今の時期に多い悩みが、正月休みによる体重増加。クリスマスから正月にかけて、ケーキ、チキン、お餅、お節料理など、おいしい料理が目白押しだった年末年始。普段とは異なる食生活が続いていた方も多いのではないか。
「お正月って、座りっぱなしだったり、ゴロゴロしたりしているので、お腹周りに脂肪がつく太り方が多いと思います。お腹周りの脂肪にアプローチできるのが、私のメソッドである、お尻を伸ばして動かす方法。骨盤を安定させて締める効果があるため、お腹を凹ますことも実現しやすくなるんです。お腹を伸ばす動きをして、しっかり呼吸することで内臓のマッサージにもなり、お腹痩せにもつながっていきます。お尻の筋肉は、上半身と下半身を結ぶ大きな筋肉のつなぎ目です。お尻からアプローチすることで大きな筋肉を使いやすく、脂肪の燃焼にもつながります。今回はお腹周りの脂肪に効く、内臓マッサージにもなる呼吸法とストレッチをご紹介します」
■”正月太り”で気になるお腹周りに効く、おすすめストレッチ3選
お腹周りの脂肪に効く、呼吸法とストレッチをご紹介。
(1) 基本の呼吸法壁に背面をつけて両足を一歩前に出し、腕を胸の高さで組んで、呼吸をします。4秒かけてゆっくり息を吸い、8秒かけて息を吐きます。息を吸うときは、頭を引き上げるイメージで。吐くときは引き上げた頭をキープしたまま、みぞおちが凹むのを感じ、お腹で壁を押します。
(2)足を蹴り上げる、下腹やせストレッチ【足にタオルをかける】タオルを用意し、あおむけになります。右ひざを胸に近づけて足裏にタオルをかけ、タオルの両端を左右それぞれの手で持ちます。
【足を蹴り上げる】息を吐きながら、お腹に力を込めて右足をゆっくりと上に蹴り上げます。蹴り上げたとき、右足とお尻、頭と左足で、それぞれ引っ張り合う力を感じてください。反対側も同様に行い、それぞれ5~7呼吸してください。
(3)人間コンパス左手を壁について、まっすぐ立ちます。右脚を前に出して、指先で床にチョン、右に伸ばしてチョン、後ろに伸ばしてチョンと3点に触れながら足先で円を描きましょう。反対側も同様に行います。左右各10往復が回数の目安です。

Ant McPartlin is engaged to Anne-Marie Corbett after proposing on Christmas Eve

ANT McPartlin is to marry his girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett, The Sun can reveal.
The I'm A Celeb star got down on one knee on Christmas Eve with a ring he designed and chose himself.
The happy couple told family and friends including Ant's best pal, Declan Donnelly, over the festive period.
News of the engagement comes three years after the popular Geordie, 45, split from his wife of 11 years, Lisa Armstrong.
Last night a friend said: "Ant has been planning this for some time - but wanted to make sure the moment was just right.
"2020 has been a pretty torrid year for everybody, and this is the happy news that all their friends and family have been waiting for.
"Both Amzie and Ant adore Christmas, and get really into it every year, so Ant decided to pop the question on Christmas Eve.
"He's a traditionalist, so got down on one knee after first checking with Anne Marie's family that he had their blessing. It was super-romantic, and obviously Anne-Marie said 'yes' straight away."
"Obviously getting engaged in the midst of a pandemic isn't ideal when it comes to planning a wedding... at the moment a summer ceremony is looking extremely unlikely, so it may well be a 2022 affair."
Ant's long-term co-star, Dec, and his wife Ali are understood to be "thrilled" for the couple, with the 45-year-old expected to act as Best Man when they wed.
A spokesman confirmed the engagement, adding: "Ant and Amzie are delighted to announce their engagement. The proposal took place on Christmas Eve at home in a very romantic setting."
The presenter has known personal assistant Anne-Marie, 43, for several years.
The pretty PA worked with Dec's agent wife at the same London-based management company, before she started to work for Ant on a full-time basis.
The mum of two supported Ant as he battled a prescription drug problem following complications with knee surgery.
They officially began dating in April 2018, and Anne-Marie - who has two teenage daughters from a previous marriage - was said to be Ant's "rock" as he went to rehab after being convicted of drink driving.
Their engagement marks the end of a mixed 2020 for the star.
While his annual trip to Australia for I'm A Celeb was changed to a derelict castle in North Wales due to Covid-19, in April he finalised his acrimonious divorce from Lisa.
Following 18 months of bitter wrangling - including a bitter custody battle over their beloved Labrador Hurley - they reportedly agreed a deal worth £31million.
The celebrity make-up artist, whose clients include Piers Morgan and Alan Carr, took matters to the Royal Courts of Justice in a bid to get half of his fortune.
The pair eventually had a face to face meeting in January, before eventually finalising terms.
While Ant has always been reluctant to discuss his personal life, he recently gave a touching insight into his newfound happiness.
During a bushtucker trial involving Radio 1 presenter Jordan North, Ant told viewers that being at home with Anne-Marie was his "happy place".
It came after Dec claimed his was Newcastle's St James' Park.
Last year Ant and Anne Marie moved in together, buying a £6mn house in south-west London.
They also added to their family with two Maltipoos, Milo and Brumble.

GOGGLEBOX star Ellie Warner has shown off the newest member of her family, sharing an adorable snap of her puppy Morris.
The star cuddled up to the miniature Daschund puppy on her sofa, capturing the sweet moment and sharing it to Instagram.
Ellie, 30, went bare faced as she relaxed alongside the small dog, who fell asleep on her shoulder and showed its brown belly.
Tying up her blonde locks and donning her glasses, she beamed at the camera for the snap, which she captioned: "New year, new woof!"
She went on to welcome the dog, named Morris, to her "mad house", as fans gushed over the small canine.
"Say hello to Morris the mini daschund," she wrote. "Welcome to the mad house little man."
Ellie followed up with another cute picture of the puppy on the Instagram page she has set up for her dogs - with the pack also including Italian greyhounds Mick and Madge.
She joked that the "new member of the family" was a must as she went into 2021 - starting the new year off right.
Comments quickly flooded in on both the posts, with fans gushing over Ellie's adorable puppy.
It didn't take long for the comments to come pouring in for Ellie's new dog, as fans gushed over the adorable pup.
"Can’t wait to cuddle him," wrote one friend of the Gogglebox star, with a second agreeing: "Oh my god he's here! He's amazing."
"He is so gorgeous," added another. "The name is so cute too."
"I can't even, this is too much," wrote a fourth. "Can't wait to see him on the new series of Gogglebox."

A male shopper allegedly stabbed another man and assaulted a security guard after a woman in his company was told to wear a face mask in a shopping centre.
The 25-year-old man, a woman and two children were in a shopping centre on George Street in Windsor in Sydney's north-west when the woman was asked by a security guard to put a mask on at 8:20pm on Tuesday.
A short time later, the man allegedly approached the security guard, who is a 59-year-old man, and allegedly pushed him before punching him multiple times.
Another customer, a 53-year-old man, then intervened and a fight allegedly broke out.
The 25-year-old allegedly produced a knife and stabbed him in the leg during the confrontation.
Eventually, the customer and security guard managed to restrain the man before officers from Hawkesbury Police Area Command arrived.
Officers arrested the man after a short struggle and took him to Windsor Police Station, where he was charged with armed with intent to commit indictable offence, affray, and resist or hinder police officer in the execution of duty.
He was refused bail and is due to appear in Penrith Local Court on Wednesday.

MOLLIE King has revealed she's engaged to her England cricketer boyfriend Stuart Broad.
The Saturdays singer, 33, shared a snap of her dazzling ring on Instagram today and couldn't have looked happier.
Beside a picture of the couple kissing, she wrote: "A thousand times yes! 💍 I still can’t believe it, the most magical start to the new year! I can’t wait to spend all my years with you ."
The congratulations flooded in from their star pals, with Mollie's bandmate Vanessa White commenting with love hearts.
Radio One's Clara Amfo joked she was partly responsible, while Matt Baker posted: "Huge Congratulations to you both!!! Wonderful News !!!! X."
Good Morning Britain's Charlotte Hawkins said: "Amazing news!! Congratulations."
The private couple have dated on-off since 2012 after being introduced by friends, and last split in the Autumn of 2018.
England ace Stuart, 34, is one of the country's best ever bowlers having celebrated his 500th test wicket in the summer.
The achievement led him to be nominated for Sports Personality of the Year, which was won by Lewis Hamilton.
He and Mollie lived together through lockdown with their dog Alfie and occasionally gave fans a glimpse into their happy domestic life.
When they got back together early in 2019 a source said: “Mollie and Stuart are keen to give their relationship another go. They get on really well together and only really split because their hectic work schedules kept them apart.
“They both agreed that a holiday in the sun was the best way to reconcile and get to know each other again. They’re having a great time and hope it will last for good now.”

BUSY Philipps opened up about her eldest child, Birdie, being gay and using the pronouns, they/them.
The actress shared she just wants her 12-year-old to be "happy."
Busy said on her podcast, Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best: "For those of you who are my friends listening at home, this is the first you're hearing that Birdie is gay and out.
"Birdie told us at 10 years old and we immediately... I mean obviously, I knew that Birdie knew. I said, 'You know, Bird, I've been doing a bad job with the pronouns.'
"Because Birdie said that they would like their pronouns to be they/them, and I haven't been doing it, and I said because I have this public persona and I want Birdie to be in control of their own narrative and not have to answer to anybody outside of our friends and family if they don't want to."
She went on: "Bird was like, 'I don’t give a f**k. You can talk about how I’m gay and out; you can talk about my pronouns. That would be cool with me. That’s great.' So I said, ‘OK, I can talk about it on the podcast.'
"So Birdie, my out kid, prefers they/them. I f**k up sometimes, but I’m trying my best at that, too."
Busy and her husband Marc Silverstein have two children, Birdie and seven-year-old daughter Cricket Pearl.
Busy, 41, also recalled in the podcast episode finding Birdie "lying on the floor in the dark."'
The preteen was listening to Harry Styles' Fine Line album, when Busy asked Birdie: "I was like, ‘Are you alright? Do you want to talk about anything?’"
Birdie replied: ‘It’s just I feel like I’m alive, but I’m not really living, you know? And I just want the living part to start.'"
Busy went on: "I got really emotional because I said, well, first off, welcome to being my daughter, but I want to say this to you because I wish someone had said this to me: 'This is living, you can’t wait for it to start… You can’t think, if only I can get to X, I can start living.'
Busy continued: "I said to [Birdie], 'The other thing I want to tell you that I wish I had known is: You get to build your life however the f— you want to, and it doesn’t have to look like anything you’ve ever seen or anything that’s ever been modeled for you because maybe it doesn’t exist.' "
She added: "'You get to choose what will make you feel fulfilled and happy. It doesn’t have to be any of these constructs that we’ve all been fed our whole lives. This is a different world that you get to f—ing build."
Busy also posted of Birdie on Instagram and said: "Birdie opened one of my gifts tonight. It was this blue suit, which was excitedly and immediately put on and it felt like I won Christmas two days early.
"And then I managed to get this picture and now I feel like I won all of it because OH MY GOD I get to know this person and THAT is the magic of being a parent."

お笑いコンビ・極楽とんぼによるBS日テレ『週末極楽旅』が、10月と11月にわたって放送された3回の単発放送を経て、13日からレギュラー化することが決定(毎週水曜 後9:00)。記念すべき初回は、よゐこの有野晋哉、濱口優をゲストに迎え、山梨県河口湖・山中湖周辺を旅する。
【写真】極楽とんぼが念願のコンビそろって旅番組
番組では、山本圭壱が週末コーディネーターとして、多忙を極める加藤浩次とゲストを自由気ままな週末極楽旅へと案内。ゴールド免許を持つ山本がドライバー役も担い、加藤とよゐこを乗せ、旅の目的地・山梨県へ出発する。道中の車内では、『めちゃイケ』で長きにわたって共演していた、ナインティナインの岡村隆史が結婚したことが話題に。加藤浩次いわく、岡村とお相手との出会いは知人のミュージシャンの開いたパーティーだったなど、貴重な情報が明かされる。
濱口から「山さん、結婚したくないんですか?」と向けられた山本は「したいっちゃしたいけど、要らないなという気持ちの方が強い」と答え、加藤が「強がんな!」と一喝。20年来の間柄だからこそのトークで盛り上がる。
昼は、山梨県の名物ほうとう料理店で、ほうとう料理や山梨のブランド豚“ワイン豚”を使用したすき焼き御膳を堪能。続いて、コーディネーター山本が用意したのは、極楽とんぼVSよゐこのゴーカート対決で、負けたコンビには罰ゲームが課されることになり、白熱の戦いとなる。
宿は、富士山麓にある豪華なグランピングも堪能出来る大型コーテージ。都会では味わえないぜいたくな空間で、絶品郷土料理を堪能しつつ『めちゃイケ』時代の秘話に花を咲かせる。4年前、山本が『めちゃイケ』に復活した際、ヘラヘラと出てしまったことに対して、メンバーから本気の説教を受けた「ヘラヘラ事件」の真相、山本の復帰にあたって、先輩の松本人志や今田耕司をはじめ、多くの人が助けてくれたこと、それに対する感謝の思いが加藤から赤裸々に語られる。
収録を終えた、よゐこの2人がコメントを寄せた。
■濱口優とにかく楽しかったです。ずっと笑ってました。山さんが必死に頑張って加藤さんが理不尽に怒る。変わらずの面白さでした。山さんは、旅の良さを伝えようとしています。ぶち壊してるのは加藤浩次です。よゐこは加藤さんに乗っかってるだけです。そこを踏まえてお楽しみください(笑)。
■有野晋哉加藤さんとは大阪のラジオで春まで一緒やったけど。極楽とんぼと2組でがっつり絡むって言うのは、初めてやったので、あ、この「がっつり」って言葉って加藤さんがテレビに持ってきたんですよね。北海道弁なのかなぁ、しっかりって使い方やと思うんやけど、これを加藤さんの真似する時にみんなが口走って、本番中も使うようになって、でも、この話は本編では一切出てきません。最後までがっつり見てください。よゐこはまた来年に来ます。それまで続いてますように。

As stand-in leader, McCormack failed to take a stand in defence of truth and trust

Michael McCormack has achieved quite the trifecta in his week holding the fort for Scott Morrison. As if his frolic in post-truth politics wasn’t bad enough, the acting prime minister gave a nod to the far right and decided a pandemic was a good time to launch another round of dole-bludger bashing.
It has been quite the outing for a Nationals leader who, just a couple of years ago, lamented how Labor was “telling far too many lies” and implored Australians to “look at the hard, stark reality of the facts and figures”. But when the time came to take a stand on members of his own side of politics spreading disinformation about Covid-19 vaccines or treatments – or even something as indisputable as the fairly declared winner of the US presidential election - McCormack squibbed it.
“Well, again, I mean, facts sometimes are contentious, aren’t they?” he told the ABC. No, deputy prime minister, facts shouldn’t be contentious, although facts can and do inspire furious debate about the right policy responses. “And what you may think is right,” McCormack continued, “somebody else might think is completely untrue – and that’s part of living in a democratic country.”
When challenged later in the day about the definition of a fact – something known or proven true – McCormack dug deeper. “Well you might look out over there and say the sky is blue and I can see from here it’s grey,” he told reporters in Charters Towers. “You go out from under this rotunda and there are probably blue patches. I mean, there are a lot of subjective things.”
The violent insurrection at the US Capitol building last week – with pro-Donald Trump attackers attempting to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory – really should prompt leaders in all democratic countries to quietly reflect on where sustained undermining of truthful information can lead. This need for reflection applies to media, too.
I’ve been thinking a lot this week about a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters that showed nearly three-quarters of Republicans say Trump is protecting democracy, not undermining it. Some seven in 10 Republicans backed the actions of those elected members who tried to stop the certification of Biden’s victory, after a sustained campaign by Trump to “stop the steal” and denial of the election results. This sentiment – backed up by Trump-friendly media – suggests that even after Biden is inaugurated amid unprecedented security measures next week, there will be no quick fix to the divisions and alternative facts of the Trump era.
Australia – happily - enjoys one of the highest levels of trust in government to deliver accurate messages, while the public has also given Australian authorities the tick for their management of the pandemic, according to the results from the recent YouGov-Cambridge Globalism Project – a large snapshot of public sentiment across 25 countries shared with the Guardian. But conversely, that level of trust should only increase the responsibility of everyone in government ranks to promote established facts and call out bullshit. Thankfully, the same survey showed just 5% of the Australian respondents think Covid is a myth created by powerful forces and the virus does not really exist – but it is still alarming to think one in 20 Australians could give credence to that vast conspiracy theory.
Unity and truth telling is not advanced when leaders like McCormack roll out the “all lives matter” slogan. He did so, ostensibly, to defend his comparison of the US Capitol riots to the Black Lives Matter protest movement of last year. Critics denounced him for deploying a dog whistle (or should that be fog horn) used by the far right to disparage BLM.
The best sign of the intent behind the “all lives matter” slogan, at least in the Australian context, is that it was Pauline Hanson’s party that attempted to move a motion in the Senate endorsing the phrase last year. McCormack’s own Coalition colleagues in the Senate, led by Mathias Cormann, joined with almost everyone else in the chamber to deny the motion formality. If he were inclined to peruse the hansard, McCormack could find a succinct explanation from Labor’s Senate leader, Penny Wong, of why the slogan is incendiary: “Asserting black lives matter isn’t saying that other lives do not matter. It is responding to a systemic structural problem where black lives are not given equal value. And those who want to reinforce that status quo, including white supremacists, have instead adopted the phrase that is used in Senator Hanson’s motion.”
This week, Human Rights Watch delivered the latest reminder of why we have such a long way to come in this country when it comes to delivering equality. The chapter on Australia in the organisation’s global report pointed out that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people remain significantly over-represented in the criminal justice system, comprising 29% of Australia’s adult prison population, but just 3% of the national population. Human Rights Watch said Indigenous children were 21 times more likely to be detained than non-Indigenous children. There were, it added, at least seven Indigenous deaths in custody in Australia in 2020. In one of many tragic cases, a coroner found in April that the 2017 death in custody of Aboriginal woman Tanya Day was “clearly preventable” and pointed to the role of “unconscious bias” in her being reported to police for public drunkenness.
These are terrible, but not contentious, facts.
McCormack also spent a great deal of the past week calling for people to consider moving to regional areas to fill job vacancies there. That would be fine, and uncontentious, if he hadn’t also resorted to the tired stereotypes of unemployed people turning up their noses at job offers to stay on welfare.
“Some of those workers who, you know, have been sitting on the couch and being, you know, dare I say, lounge lizards for too long, now it’s time to get back to work,” he said in Narrabri on Monday. While saying his heart went out to people who had found themselves jobless for the first time during the pandemic, McCormack ruined it by suggesting people “perhaps have done reasonably well off jobseeker” and “may have earned more than they could have dreamt of”. Turn off Netflix and come to the regions, he said.
Newsflash to McCormack: while new figures showed strong growth in job vacancies in November, there were still 3.7 unemployed people for every job vacancy, and others have pointed out that the labour market is massively constrained at the moment.
Allowing the jobseeker payment to revert to $40 a day at the end of March – as it is scheduled to – will condemn people to poverty. Peter Davidson, the principal adviser to Acoss, asks: “If that wasn’t enough for people to put food on the table and keep a roof overhead in March [when the government introduced the coronavirus supplement], why is it now?”
Since we’re in the business of facts, here are a couple more. The deputy prime minister’s annual salary is $443,625, or $1,215 per day. For the days he is acting in the top job, that gets bumped up to $1,500 a day. Perhaps McCormack would be wiser not to deliver lectures to those voters who face a bleak future on $40 a day, and focus on marshalling internal government support for a permanent rise in the rate.

HOLLY WILLOUGHBY brought a temporary halt to proceedings on This Morning today when the ITV presenter completely lost track of what she was supposed to say when introducing chef, Rob Nixon.
In order to bring some much-needed sunshine and tasty-looking treats to This Morning viewers today, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby welcomed Australian chef Rob Nixon to the show live from Cottesloe Beach in Perth, Australia. However, while most of the ITV show had run smoothly without a hitch for its first hour, Holly found herself in a pickle when completely losing track of her spot of the autocue. And unfortunately for the This Morning host, she was unable to skim past the blunder, bringing a halt to the show and forcing the production team to rewind.
Chef Rob was eagerly awaiting the handover from Holly and Phillip as he readied his kitchen equipment live from the sandy Australian beach.
The This Morning guest was cooking some delicious BBQ Barrumndi Tacos today, complete with tasty fish and colourful salad.
But just moments into his introduction, things took a downward turn thanks to Holly’s awkward blunder.
Reading aloud from the autocue, Holly began: “Now, the weather’s pretty miserable outside but we’re not going to help you forget about…”

Realising she’d read the words completely wrong, Holly failed to style it out, instead, going off-script entirely.
“Oh, I don’t know what I’m saying now,” Holly admitted as Phillip began to chuckle.
Live on air, Holly instead addressed the member of the production in charge of the autocue, instructing him to “go back”.
“Can you go back? Let me try that one more time,” she said as Phillip, by this point, was in hysterics.
“One more time and I mean it this time,” Holly continued as he This Morning co-host carried on giggling.
Giving the scripted introduction another shot, Holly paid close attention to the autocue and attempted Rob’s intro once more.
“Now, the weather’s pretty miserable outside but we’re not going to help you forget about that now as we transport you to the other side of the world.”
Impressed she finally got the words correct, Holly turned to Phillip and said: “That was good, wasn’t it?”

Letting out a sigh of relief, Phillip jumped in - although it was now Holly’s turn to laugh at her co-star’s antics
“Yeah, the sun is shining bright Down Under - good gracious,” Phillip quipped, bringing raucous laughter from Holly.
The pair just about managed to regain their composure to cut to Rob live on the beach and see the tasty treat he’d rustled up.
“G’day, mate, how are ya?” Phillip asked in an Australian accent.
The This Morning trio shared a giggle as Rob then got to work cooking the tacos.
And the cooking demonstration from Australia certainly left fans at home wishing they were there.
Taking to Twitter, one joked: “Take me there....tbh I’d swim there right now if I could....all the way from Bournemouth! #ThisMorning.”
“I’m jealous. I would love to live in Australia #thismorning,” added a second, while a third hit out: “Why are they depressing us with an Ozzie chef when they know we can’t go on holiday? #ThisMorning.”
This Morning continues weekdays at 10am on ITV.

Cocaine binges & bipolar — Dusty Springfield’s secret struggles portrayed by Gemma Arterton in new biopic

WITH her petticoats, angelic voice and perfect beehive hairdo, singer Dusty Springfield projected a prim persona.
But the picture of perfection couldn’t hide the human being who was cracking up under the pressure of hiding her true self.
Finally her inner turmoil led Dusty to be sectioned in a psychiatric hospital, in one of many such stays.
In the Sixties she had become one of Britain’s most successful singers, with 16 hit singles including I Only Want To Be With You and Son Of A Preacher Man, but she also battled cocaine abuse, alcoholism, suicidal feelings and a volcanic temper.
Now it is the job of Gemma Arterton — currently starring as Sister Clodagh in steamy TV hit Black Narcissus — to bring the brilliantly souful singer to life for a new generation in a forthcoming biopic.
While researching the role, 34-year-old Gemma discovered exactly how far the London-born singer sank as her career imploded, finally dying aged just 59 in 1999.
She said: “There was a really bleak time in the Seventies when she was absolutely broke, on drugs and a wreck.
"She used to go into drag clubs and enter Dusty Springfield competitions, pretending to be herself in order to win $100 or $50. And sometimes she didn’t win.”
At the heart of Dusty’s internal conflict were body image issues — despite her instantly recognisable blonde beehive, black eye make-up and cool glamour — and the pain of keeping secret that she was gay.
Even though she found fame in the Swinging Sixties, this era of free love was not so liberal that stars could come out with no consequences.
Today Dusty is considered one of Britain’s greatest ever pop vocalists, with her blue-eyed soul classics such as The Look Of Love, Wishin’ And Hopin’ and I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself.
The new TV film of her life, So Much Love, will be set at the peak of her popularity in 1968, when she went to Tennessee to record the album Dusty In Memphis.
American folk singer Norma Tanega, her lover during that period, told The Sun before her death last December: “Dusty was very human and a fantastic singer.
“She was a complex character. I don’t even know how you would capture the essence of what she was about. If you have never been in love with a celebrity you should try it. It was hard.”
From the start, Dusty was not one who truly fitted in. She was born Mary O’Brien in well-to-do Hamp-stead, North London in 1939, the year the Second World War broke out.
Her father Gerard, an accountant, called his daughter “stupid and ugly”, while her unhappy mother Catherine found solace in booze.
The shortage of parental love led Mary, who wore NHS glasses, to consider herself “an awful, fat, ugly, middle-class kid” and to burn herself on radiators.
Sent to study at a convent school, she outraged teachers by singing the African American song Saint Louis Blues at a talent show.
Nicknamed Dusty by local boys after she took to playing football with them in the street, she added the surname Springfield when she began performing in clubs with older brother Dionysius, who had adopted the stage name Tom Springfield.
She had a couple of top ten hits in the trio The Springfields, with Tom and guitarist Tim Feild, before going solo in 1963.
Dusty was an immediate hit, getting to No4 with first single I Only Want To Be With You, then topping the charts three years later — for the only time in her career — with You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me.
She fell for Norma when they met on the ITV pop show Ready Steady Go! in 1967 and they soon set up home together in Kensington, West London.
Norma, who died aged 80, said: “I lived with Dusty for five years in London on a road called Aubrey Walk. I was new to the city and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was amusing. If somebody sends you a hamburger in a limousine, it’s amusing.”
Rumours about Dusty’s sexuality had swirled for years. Then, in 1970, she made a bold move by telling a journalist: “I know I’m perfectly as capable of being swayed by a girl as by a boy.”
Whether coming out damaged her career is unclear, but it was not until 1987 that Dusty had another hit.
It was not the first example of the outspoken performer taking on prejudice.
In 1964 she was deported from apartheid-riven South Africa for refusing to perform before segregated audiences, and in racially divided America she insisted on working with black musicians.
There is little doubt that the pressures of showbusiness contributed to her downfall. Plagued by body image issues, she had a nose job and would spend three hours in make-up.
Having avoided drink until she was 25, she was turned on to alcohol when one of American soul group The Temptations gave her 88 per cent proof vodka to numb the pain of a sore throat before going on stage.
Soon she was seriously hitting the bottle and also taking cocaine. Dusty once admitted drugs had “scrambled” her life, adding: “I felt I was obsolete, with a feeling of uselessness.”
She gained a reputation for being difficult to work with due to her exacting standards and her lack of confidence in her performances.
Often she would insist producers record her vocals again and again or she would throw a tantrum.
Retired US tennis star Rosie Casals was friends with Dusty from 1971 until the singer’s death.
She said: “I know some of her friends and managers felt she was difficult to work with because she was temperamental and a perfectionist.”
Signs were becoming evident of the bipolar disorder which would later be diagnosed.
On some days Dusty was the boisterous friend who started fun food fights, yet on others she had dark moods.
Rosie, 72, recalled: “I know she had her bouts with alcohol and depression but inside she was a very loving and giving person who loved people and especially animals.
“She was soulful, witty, with a biting sense of humour.”
After moving to Hollywood, Dusty found a kinship in 1975 with fellow animal rights activist Marsha Barbi, whose twin daughters Shane and Sia became Playboy stars.
Out in liberal California, Dusty was able to be more open about being gay, living with Marsha for a couple of years.
Shane, 57, told The Sun: “Dusty and our mum did not want to be defined by what they did in the bedroom, but there was no shame or guilt.”
Shane and her sister, who are vegan, run an animal charity, Alley Cat Allies, having got their dedication to cats from Dusty.
In her will, the singer stipulated that her own cat should have special imported food and sleep in a 7ft indoor tree house.
The Barbi twins — Prince William’s first crush — looked upon Dusty as a stepmum. Shane said: “She was like a proud momma who took us underneath her wings.
“She was so unbelievably humble and painfully shy.”
Even so, Dusty’s demons could not be kept at bay.
After meeting American actress Teda Bracci at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in 1982 they exchanged wedding vows in an unofficial ceremony a year later.
The couple were not good for each other.
One drunken row escalated to the point where Dusty cut her wrist with a smashed cup, then slashed at Teda’s leg with it.
Her lover struck back, knocking out two of the singer’s teeth. Both women ended up in hospital.
After trying to take her own life in 1985, Dusty was held in a psychiatric ward in Bellevue Hospital, New York.
By this point the once-great icon’s fortunes could not slump any further, though with the help of counsellors she was able to rebuild her life.
In 1987 Dusty fans Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, of the Pet Shop Boys, invited her to sing on their album track What Have I Done To Deserve This?
It was later released as a single and reached No2 in the UK charts.
Dusty enjoyed a further revival when Son Of A Preacher Man featured on the soundtrack of director Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 movie Pulp Fiction.
The same year Dusty was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was given chemotherapy and the deadly disease went into remission. But two years later it returned, and she died in Henley-on-Thames, Oxon, where she had spent the last few years of her life.
Despite having been out of the limelight for many years, Dusty was a very rich woman, having sold her back catalogue for £6.5million in 1998.
In her final year she was also awarded an OBE, and two weeks after her death she was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in Ohio.
More than two decades on, Dusty’s legend continues to grow, and with the new film she is sure to see an upsurge in her fan base.
Her friend Rosie concluded: “I just don’t think she felt worthy of her success, but she was.”

COMEDIAN John Bishop has joined the cast of Doctor Who as the Time Lord’s latest companion, it was announced yesterday.
The Scouse stand-up, 54, will play newcomer Dan for the upcoming series, joining Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor and Mandip Gill as sidekick Yaz.
John has already starting filming with the cast, shooting scenes in November, and will make his first appearance when series 13 kicks off on BBC One later this year.
John, who has been battling Covid over Christmas with wife Melanie, told how it was a dream come true to join the hit show.
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.”
Head writer Chris Chibnall revealed that plans to cast John began before the first lockdown.
The character of Dan was also penned specifically for him.
He said: “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, executive producer of BBC Studios, added: “We’ve been having a lot of fun on set already.
“We can’t wait for you to meet Dan when the show returns later this year.”
Doctor Who came back to our screens last night for the first time in almost a year with an episode titled Revolution of the Daleks.
The New Year special saw actor and singer John Barrowman return as Captain Jack Harkness.
It also saw the departure of game show host Bradley Walsh, who played Graham O’Brien, and Tosin Cole, who was Ryan Sinclair.

現在14巻まで発売されているが、テレビアニメ化が発表された2019年11月時点では累計250万部、2020年5月時点では450万部、アニメ放送時の10月2日に850万部だったため、今回の2000万部突破はアニメ効果で増加していることがわかる。
この勢いは、社会現象化している『鬼滅の刃』が、テレビアニメが放送された2019年4月6日時点で累計350万部(※9日発売巻で500万部)、終了した9月末時点で1200万部、終了2ヶ月後の12月4日時点で2500万部を突破していることから、『鬼滅の刃』以上のペースで売り伸ばしている。また、『呪術廻戦』は現在アニメが放送中ということもあり、まだまだ勢いは止まらない。
2000万部を突破して、公式ツイッターでは「【祝!】いつも呪術廻戦を応援いただきありがとうございます! この度シリーズ累計発行部数が2000万部を突破しました!」と報告し、「TVアニメから興味を持っていただいた方も、ぜひ原作も読んでみてくださいね」と呼びかけている。
作者・芥見下々氏の初連載となる『呪術廻戦』は、2018年3月より『週刊少年ジャンプ』で連載がスタートし、ある強力な「呪物」の封印が解かれたことで、高校生の虎杖悠仁が、呪いをめぐる戦いの世界へと足を踏み入れるダークファンタジー。連載を決める会議で、オリジナリティーのあるストーリー、キレのあるせりふ、独特のキャラクター造形などが評価され、“編集部が満場一致で連載決定した”というエピソードを持つ連載当初から注目を浴びた作品となっている。
第1巻は2018年7月の発売後に即重版がかかり、2巻の9月4日発売までに2度の重版を記録。編集部は当時「デジタル版でも新人作家としては異例の売れ行き」と説明しており、読者の支持を受けて『全国書店員が選んだおすすめコミック2019』で1位、『みんなが選ぶTSUTAYAコミック大賞2019』で大賞を受賞。昨年10月よりテレビアニメが放送されると、TBS系の『NEWS23』などで特集が組まれるほど話題となっている。

|
Das Weltwirtschaftsforum warnt vor zunehmender Ungleichheit und sozialer Spaltung durch Pandemien. Das könne die Wirtschaft bedrohen – und die geopolitische Stabilität schwächen.
Das Weltwirtschaftsforum (WEF) hat zum gemeinsamen Kampf gegen Pandemien aufgerufen. Die aktuelle Krise verstärke die Ungleichheiten und die soziale Spaltung. Das könne in den nächsten Jahren die Wirtschaft bedrohen – und die geopolitische Stabilität schwächen, heißt es in einer Mitteilung vor dem dieses Jahr erstmals virtuell stattfindenden Jahrestreffen der Politik- und Wirtschaftselite.
Regierungen, Unternehmen und Gesellschaften müssten dringend neue wirtschaftliche und soziale Systeme gestalten, »die unsere kollektive Widerstandsfähigkeit« verbessern, sagte WEF-Managerin Saadia Zahidi bei der Vorstellung des jährlichen Weltrisikoberichts.
Die Corona-Pandemie habe mehr als eine Million Leben gekostet und gesundheitliche, wirtschaftliche und digitale Unterschiede noch vergrößert. Seit 15 Jahren warne der Global Risks Report des WEF vor Gefahren durch Pandemien, so Zahidi. »Wir wissen, wie schwierig es für Regierungen, Unternehmen und andere Stakeholder ist, sich mit solch langfristigen Risiken auseinanderzusetzen, aber durch diese Lektion müssen wir alle erkennen, dass ein Ignorieren der Risiken sie nicht weniger wahrscheinlich macht.«
Pandemie als kurzfristiges Risiko eingestuft
Mit Blick auf das nächste Jahrzehnt sind es laut der Organisation vor allem Klima- und Umweltrisiken, die eine Gefahr darstellten. Gesellschaftliche Konflikte und Ängste würden es schwieriger machen, die Erde noch zu retten. Besonders im Zuge der technologischen Entwicklung besteht laut WEF die Gefahr, dass sich die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich weiter vergrößert – laut WEF ein Risiko, insbesondere für junge Menschen.
Das WEF veröffentlicht den Bericht zusammen mit der Versicherung Zurich, dem Risikoberater Marsh und dem Mischkonzern SK Group. Erstmals untersucht er auch, zu welchem Zeitpunkt Risiken als Bedrohung für die Welt gesehen werden. Unterschieden werden:
Der Weltrisikobericht gilt als eine Grundlage für Debatten auf dem traditionellen WEF-Jahrestreffen im Schweizer Alpenort Davos. In diesem Jahr kann die Veranstaltung wegen der Pandemie nicht stattfinden, alternativ diskutieren Vertreter aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft nun vom 25. Januar an online bei der »Davos Agenda« über aktuelle Fragen und Probleme. Geplant sind auch Ansprachen führender Staats- und Regierungschefs.
Konkrete Entscheidungen werden auf dem Weltwirtschaftsforum nur selten getroffen. Allerdings loben viele Entscheidungsträger den »Geist von Davos« wegen der Möglichkeit des Austauschs als Ausgangspunkt für bi- und multilaterale Abkommen.
Kritiker werfen dem WEF vor, es biete vor allem Mächtigen und Reichen eine weithin abgeschottete Plattform, auf der sie Geschäfte und politische Deals einfädeln können. WEF-Gründer Klaus Schwab hat die Tagung aber in den vergangenen Jahren auch immer stärker für Globalisierungsgegner sowie soziale und Umweltorganisationen geöffnet.
Ein physisches Treffen ist für Ende Mai in Singapur geplant.

Professor Green reveals girlfriend Karima McAdams is pregnant with their first child

PROFESSOR Green has revealed his girlfriend Karima McAdams is pregnant with their first child.
The rapper, real name Stephen Manderson, told fans he's been "overwhelmed" ever since the couple found out.
He wrote on Instagram: "And then, all of a sudden everything is different.It all makes sense."It’s finally gotten to the point where it’s impossible to hide, and unless I wanted to wear prosthetics (which Karima did try to enforce - she wanted to give me a nose like Cyrano De Bergerac?! Some sort of drama school fantasy... obviously I was having none of it) there was no more sneaking into appointments - not even during the current climate, having to wear a mask and keeping my hood up with the strings pulled tight has stopped me from getting caught out at the hospital (but big up the security for keeping it shtum! Solid ✊).
"I’ve been overwhelmed with excitement, admiration and curiosity ever since we found out."I’m excited about meeting you. Holding you. Teaching you. Learning from you."
In a black and white snap, Green lays in a free-standing bath tub and peers out with a confused expression on his face at Karima on the floor.
His girlfriend is sitting cross-legged with her top lifted up to reveal her bump.
The Lullaby rapper is full of respect for his other half.
He wrote: "Never have I admired anyone as much as I have your mamma. She’s nothing short of remarkable, remarkable in fact is an understatement. To see the body change in such a way is fascinating, incredible, unbelievable, amazing, ASTOUNDING. Weird. Ridley Scott had to get his inspiration from somewhere..."I feel a bite useless sometimes, pedestrianised; left to spectate from the sin bin as each phase plays out. It’s humbling; never do our strengths as men compare to that of a woman. I’m awestruck. Subservient (albeit reluctantly at times 😉)."
The couple began dating in the summer of 2019, and their relationship has been filled with love and laughter ever since.
Pro's beloved dogs took to Karima immediately, a sign that she was the right woman for him.He continued his praise, writing: "I’m curious about everything to come; about who and how you’ll be, what you’ll look and sound like... and who’ll be the stricter parent 👀."A friend told me the best thing you can do for your own anxiety is to have a child. It sort of made sense at the time, it doesn’t anymore; THIS HAS BEEN WILD."My understanding of mortality and just how fragile life is have grown exponentially."
Their celeb friends congratulated them on the news, with Gordon Ramsay writing: " congrats to you both ♥️."
Paloma Faith joked: "Welcome to hell! Hahahaahahhaha."
While Ella Eyre said: "Remarkable is a HUGE understatement @karimamcadams ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so proud and happy for you both my favourite future parents !!! Can’t wait to see you be a soppy lil shit all the time xxxxxxxx."
The loved up star, who has the actress’ name tattooed across his chest, recently told The Sun Online how they were housebound together in Morocco due to strict ‘state of emergency’ rules in the country.
But rather than getting under each other's feet, Pro says he focused his attention on impressing her with his culinary skills - and they are now completely smitten after "the best year ever" together.
Green was previously married to former Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, but the ex-couple split in 2017.

NICOLE Scherzinger has shared a snap from her New Year's Eve celebration, looking stunning next to her boyfriend Thom Evans.
The Pussycat Doll posted the trio of Instagram pictures that show her flaunting her figure in a black bralet and matching skirt beside the rugby-playing hunk.
Nicole, 42, looked incredible as she cuddled up to Thom, 35, as they brought in 2021 together on a romantic white-sand beach.
She donned the silk bralet, which revealed her ample cleavage and toned middle, with the skirt which was slit at the thigh to show off her legs.
The singer kept accessories to a minimum, with a gold chain and earrings, and wore her long hair down, trailing over her shoulder.
Thom kept it beach-ready casual with an unbuttoned blue shirt, white t-shirt and black chinos, accessorising with a silver necklace.
Last month, the loved-up pair marked their one year anniversary, taking to Instagram to share a snap of the couple from the early days of their relationship.
Thom romantically wrote: "In a year that's been filled with so much uncertainty, you have been my shining light."
Nicole gushed back at the sweet tribute: "You are my rock. I thank God for you every day. I love you so much."
The pair made their relationship red carpet official in January 2020, attending the Golden Globe Awards after-party together in California.
Since then, Nicole and Thom have gone on leaps and bounds - and are thought to be trying for a baby.

Lewis Hamilton contract: George Russell ‘has real chance' of replacing F1 star in 2021

Lewis Hamilton's contract uncertainty with Mercedes could open the door to George Russell.

Lewis Hamilton's contract uncertainty with Mercedes could open the door to George Russell.
Lewis Hamilton is still yet to sign a new Mercedes contract. And reports say there’s a real chance of George Russell replacing the 36-year-old in 2021, rather than in a year’s time. The Brit was in dominant Formula One form in 2020, winning the Drivers’ Championship for a seventh time to draw level with the legendary Michael Schumacher.
Hamilton’s success since joining Mercedes from McLaren in 2013 has been unprecedented.
The Brit has won the F1 Drivers’ Championship six times in seven years since, with Nico Rosberg’s triumph in 2016 the only blotch on his record.
In the aftermath of his latest triumph, everybody expected the 36-year-old to commit his future to Mercedes.
But a new contract with the Silver Arrows is yet to be signed, leading to plenty of speculation about his future.
Russell impressed at the Sakhir Grand Prix in Hamilton’s absence last year, though the 22-year-old is currently with Williams.
THINK YOU KNOW SPORT? Test your sporting knowledge with our tricky quiz
A source from inside the paddock told Formula1news.co.uk there’s a ‘real chance’ that Russell could replace his compatriot THIS YEAR, instead of in 2022 as has been touted in the past.
It’s claimed Hamilton’s lengthy contract saga with Mercedes is a ‘unprecedented situation’.
And it’s a scenario that could now lead to Russell moving to the Silver Arrows a year ahead of schedule.
While that’s the case, however, Hamilton and Mercedes have both hinted on their social media channels that a new contract could be imminent.
And what ultimately happens remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan has claimed he’d axe Hamilton at the current moment in time - insisting the Brit is replaceable.
Speaking in an interview with F1 Insider, Jordan said: “Apparently the parties disagree on the terms. I just heard that Lewis wants more than Mercedes are willing to pay.
“It’s also about sharing the team’s income and having an influential role in the Mercedes group.
“If I were the boss of Daimler, I would show him the door – either you drive on our terms or you go.”
Jordan added: “I would also tell him what Bernie Ecclestone said after Ayrton Senna’s death.
“Even though Bernie was shocked and sad like everyone else, he was the first to regain his composure and said to us ‘now stop whining – everyone is replaceable’. Lewis should know that by now.”
Jordan also thinks Aston Martin have made the wrong move by bringing in Sebastian Vettel, though expressed a belief that Lance Stroll was too inconsistent.
“I like [Vettel] a lot but I think Aston Martin made a mistake in signing him,” said Jordan.
“The last two years against Charles Leclerc at Ferrari have been pathetic.
“I don’t know why he looked so bad, he won four world titles. But I think he’s past his peak. In any case, I would have kept Sergio Perez.
“Lance is like a lucky bag. You never know what’s inside.
“Sometimes he drives well, sometimes he drives extremely badly.
“He’s anything but consistent.”

KIM Kardashian, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, and a lot more stars are ready to kick off 2021 on the right note as they showed off their butts.
Plenty of notable faces have had no issue at all sharing some skin lately.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star took to Instagram and turned heads with her tight bodysuit as she promoted her line.
Kim, 40, wrote: "COMING JAN 5: @SKIMS Body Basics - the reset we all need for the new year. Sleek and form-fitting foundations made to smooth and layer are dropping in 7 styles, 5 colors, and in sizes."
People were all about the post as they took to the comments section to praise the mother of four.
One wrote: "Gorgeous! Love it!" while another added: "you're stunning."
The reality star is definitely not the only one putting her butt on display as Bella Thorne - and popular Only Fans star - also shared photos while wearing a black and green one piece with fishnets included.
"P lit happy New Years," she wrote along the pics featuring Idris Dykes.
Before performing on New Year's Eve, Megan Thee Stallion wowed her fans in a tiny bikini as she enjoyed a drink and looked out into the distance.
Lizzo, who has never been shy of showing some skin, also flaunted her body while wearing a pink wig.
She wrote: "If you found yourself shrunken, I’m proud of you. Because this year was about survival..."
It wasn't just the big named stars either as internet personality Tana Mongeau took in the rays while lying on the beach as she wrote, "haven't slept yet."
YouTube star Kelly Kay also dropped some jaws in a nude bikini as the blonde beauty made sure to tell her 600K plus followers: "Here’s your sign, leave it in the past."
Real Housewives Of Orange County star Braunwyn Windham-Burke showed off her bum with some pals as the trio overlooked a waterfront.
The reality star wrote: "Looking forward! Last night I looked at [my husband] Sean and said 'I wonder where we will be a year from now?'
"For the first time in my life I have no idea what the coming year will look like….I’m excited and scared all at the same time..."
Vanderpump Rules' Lala Kent kept it modest but still posed in a beautiful two-piece as the pregnant star smiled and posed for a selfie.
She captioned it: "Me and my best friend."
Even Justin Bieber, who was fresh from forgetting the lyrics to his own song, sent fans in a frenzy when he shared a NSFW clip of himself in just his underwear.
"No tats for the #Anyonevideo," he captioned the video, referring to his new music video.

Corona-Impfung: Die Dosis zu verzögern, bedeutet Impfen im Blindflug

Pure Verzweiflung treibt die Behörden in Großbritannien zum Impf-Blindflug - man will die zweite Impfung ab sofort nicht wie bislang vorgesehen nach drei Wochen, sondern später geben. Das Ziel: Schneller mehr Menschen vor dem Coronavirus schützen, zumindest ansatzweise. Deutschlands Bundesgesundheitsminister Jens Spahn lässt nun prüfen, ob das auch für Deutschland eine Option ist. Die Ständige Impfkommission (STIKO) solle berichten, welche wissenschaftlichen Daten dafür sprächen. Fest steht: Es ist ein riskanter Plan.
Großbritannien ist zur unwägbaren Abwägung gezwungen. Die britische Regierung hat den Beschluss gefasst, weil ihr Land auf eine Katastrophe zusteuert. Die Fallzahlen dort steigen schneller als jemals zuvor. Das liegt vermutlich an der neuen, womöglich ansteckenderen Virusvariante B.1.1.7, die sich in Großbritannien stark verbreitet. Jedenfalls drohen die rasant zunehmenden Erkrankungen, das ohnehin am Anschlag arbeitende Gesundheitssystem endgültig zu überwältigen. Das Szenario könnte sich, fürchten Fachleute, zeitversetzt auch in Deutschland abspielen.
Hinter der Strategie der verzögerten zweiten Impfung steckt ein einfacher, sinnvoller Gedanke: Angesichts von immer mehr Kranken und dem relativ knappen Impfstoff gilt es, so viele Menschen wie möglich zumindest teilweise immunisieren, um die Verbreitung des Virus zu bremsen. Damit begibt man sich allerdings auf unkartiertes Gelände.
Bisherige Daten zur Impfung decken den Minimalstandard ab
Indizien sprechen zwar dafür, dass der größere Abstand zwischen den beiden Impfdosen keine Auswirkungen auf den tatsächlichen Impfschutz haben. Doch die Mittel sind keineswegs vollständig geprüft, die in den klinischen Tests erhobenen Daten decken den Minimalstandard für eine Notfallzulassung ab. Vom getesteten Protokoll abzuweichen, verringert die Aussagekraft der Ergebnisse.
Deswegen ist auch die weithin zitierte, auf dünner Datenbasis gegründete Vermutung, schon die erste Impfdosis erzeuge einen guten Schutz vor einer Infektion, mit einiger Vorsicht zu genießen. Wie gut dieser Schutz tatsächlich ist - zumal bei älteren Menschen, deren Immunsystem allgemein schwächer reagiert - und wie lange er anhält, ist schlicht unbekannt.
Einige Fachleute sehen ein weiteres Risiko, das den Erfolg der Impfungen weltweit gefährdet. So könnte die britische Strategie dazu führen, dass mehr Virenlinien entstehen, gegen die aktuelle Impfstoffe nicht mehr wirken. Das kann passieren, wenn zu wenig Antikörper vorhanden sind, um die Infektion zu stoppen, aber genug, um resistente Viruslinien zu begünstigen - wie bei einer zu schwachen Immunreaktion auf eine Impfung.
Wie wahrscheinlich oder unwahrscheinlich das ist, weiß niemand. Die Konsequenzen einer solchen Entwicklung wären jedoch gravierend. Nicht zuletzt ist möglicherweise ein ganz ähnlicher Effekt überhaupt erst für die missliche Lage Großbritanniens verantwortlich: Die Virusvariante B.1.1.7 ist wohl durch die zu schwache Immunreaktion bei einem immunschwachen Patienten entstanden.
Ebenso unbekannt ist, ob die neue Impfstrategie den gewünschten Effekt hat - also ob die Zahl der dank verzögerter zweiter Dosis zusätzlich geimpften Menschen die Verbreitung des Virus nennenswert einschränkt. Nicht zuletzt könnte eine schwächere Wirkung der ersten Impfdosis den durch mehr Geimpfte gewonnenen Vorteil größtenteils wieder aufwiegen.
Abwägungen voller Unbekannten
Es gibt in der aktuellen Krise gute Argumente für ungewöhnliche Ansätze. Allerdings die Gefahren sind ebenso real. Bei all der Ungewissheit lässt sich derzeit nicht sagen, ob jetzt diejenigen »Recht haben«, die vor den Risiken warnen, oder diejenigen, die angesichts der rasant steigenden Infektionszahlen möglichst viele Impfungen in möglichst kurzer Zeit für entscheidend halten. Die selbstbewussten Proklamationen dieser oder jener Protagonisten der Debatte, die meinen, alles schon ganz genau zu wissen, dürfen nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass sich derzeit nur spekulieren lässt.
Ohne sichere Daten fehlt die Grundlage, um vernünftig abzuwägen: Wie groß muss der Vorteil durch die zusätzlichen Impfungen sein, um das Risiko einer Fluchtmutante zu rechtfertigen? Und ist dieser Vorteil tatsächlich groß genug? Und welche weiteren Probleme handelt man sich dadurch ein? Niemand weiß es.
Angesichts der Situation im Vereinigten Königreich ist die geänderte Impf-Strategie nachvollziehbar – aber Blindflug bleibt Blindflug. Damit ist offensichtlich, welches Vorgehen in Deutschland die richtige ist: eindämmen und die Infektionszahlen niedrig halten, um es gar nicht erst zu einer Situation wie in Großbritannien kommen zu lassen. In der Hoffnung, dass es dafür nicht schon zu spät ist.
Die Diskussionen um solche veränderten Strategien mit unklarem Nutzen und Risiko zeigt vor allem, wie hoch der Preis dafür ist, wenn man beim Infektionsschutz schludert. Damit ist auch relativ offensichtlich, welche Strategie in Deutschland die richtige ist: eindämmen und die Infektionszahlen niedrig halten. Und es so gar nicht erst zu einer Situation wie in Großbritannien kommen zu lassen, in der die Krise zu solchen unwägbaren Abwägungen zwingen. In der Hoffnung, dass es dafür nicht schon zu spät ist.

Rag’n’Bone Man starts dating mum-of-three waitress after splitting from wife

A YEAR on from the breakdown of his marriage, Rag’n’Bone Man has proven he is only human, after all, as he’s fallen for a new woman.
I can reveal the singer is dating down-to-earth mum-of-three Zoe Beardsall, who works in a cafe near his home in East Sussex.
It’s great news for the British musician, whose real name is Rory Graham, following his shock split from wife Beth Rouy.
They were together for a decade and welcomed a son, Reuben, now three, before getting hitched in vibrant tracksuits in 2019. But within six months it was all over.
Now Rag’n’Bone Man, who had the biggest male debut album of 2017 with his record Human, is in a new relationship which has inspired his new music.
A source close to the star said: “Rory isn’t the type of guy to surround himself with showbiz pals or to have a celebrity girlfriend. He’s very down to earth.
“His fame has been a bit strange to him because while he loves making music, he’s a regular guy and wants to have a normal life.
“With Zoe they just really get along and like each other. Neither of them have had an easy ride when it comes to relationships but they’ve become really close.
“They both have kids too, so they feel like they’re on the same page.”
The Sun revealed Rag’n’Bone Man’s marriage split in November 2019, with pals saying: “It’s a great shame, but these things happen.
“Everyone is staying amicable and they have a son together, who is their top priority.”
Rag’n’Bone Man is gearing up for a return in the coming weeks after three years spent working on his next record.
I was treated to a preview of his new music a few weeks ago and judging by what I heard, I’m sure there are big things in store for him once again in 2021.
The last couple of years must have been tricky but the new year gives him the chance to move on and start afresh.
MAYA JAMA wore all white on the night on BBC1’s Big New Year’s In bash, and said of 2020: “It’s been a bit s**t, but praying for a better 2021.”
Joining the at-home celebrations were Liz Hurley, Pixie Lott and Vanessa Hudgens. I’m A Celeb’s AJ Pritchard brandished champagne and a sparkler, while Rod Stewart doffed his cap to fellow Scots celebrating Hogmanay.
Meanwhile, pals of slimline Adele shared a previously unseen snap of the star smoking and knocking back a pint on the kerb with mates.
The night’s goodwill even saw Liam Gallagher extend an olive branch to Noel, tweeting: “Love you long time 2021 is our year. C’mon man you know.”
An Oasis reunion? Now that really would make for a happy new year.
IT seems whenever the Pussycat Dolls appear on TV, complaints are sure to follow. But it’s not raunchy outfits that cost Kimberly Wyatt a spot on Strictly Come Dancing.
The star revealed that cagey BBC bosses turned her down after bandmate Ashley Roberts’ appearance on the 2018 series led to a fix row over her previous dance experience.
Kimberly told me: “From any chats that I’ve had, Strictly feel that I’m too professional to be a contestant. So much as I’d love to learn ballroom, my dancing experience holds me back as a contestant.”
Seems unfair, given that Strictly let Kimberly’s fellow Got To Dance judge Aston Merrygold take part the year before Ashley.
And the star is not happy with those 538 viewers who complained about the Dolls’ sexy costumes during performances on X Factor: Celebrity in 2019 and The One Show last year.
Kimberly said: “It makes me sad people are so hung up on costumes.
“Pussycat Dolls stand for being empowered females owning their space and being there for each other.”
That sentiment gets a ten from me.
HARRY Styles is far from a Fleabag as he dances with Phoebe Waller-Bridge in his dazzling new music video.
Looking like he’d just swanned in from an epic New Year’s Eve party, the heart-throb donned a sparkling blazer and bow tie for the retro clip for song Treat People With Kindness.
Not to be outdone, comedian Phoebe made her entrance in a suave white tuxedo, sipping champagne before being pulled up on stage by Harry.
The fun-filled video, which ends with Harry falling into Phoebe’s arms, was a big hit with fans, clocking up almost 1.7million views within three hours of its release yesterday.
ANNE-MARIE had to lay low for her 30th birthday in April but is planning the biggest party of the year this time around if regulations are relaxed.
The singer, who released her hit Birthday last February, says she is eager for a massive blowout once the new Covid vaccine is rolled out.
She told me: “I’m going to have the fattest party ever. Last year I was planning to have one and that did not happen. So this year has to make up for that.”
She has plenty of showbiz friends, including Ed Sheeran, Doja Cat and Little Mix, so I expect the guest list will be huge.
She added: “I’m inviting everyone I know. So bear in mind, it might be the biggest of 2021.”
I’ll keep an eye out for my invite.

PRINCE Harry’s much-anticipated Apple TV+ series has stalled despite being in the making for more than two years.
The mental health documentary serial was due to be released last autumn with Harry, 36, working alongside Oprah Winfrey, 66.
But several delays mean it is now not expected to arrive until later in 2021.
No firm release date has yet been announced.
Insiders say Covid-19 restrictions, Harry’s exit from the Royal Family and move to the US with Meghan, 39, have slowed down production.
Filming schedules are believed to have been changed by the upheaval.
The postponement was kept under wraps as “delays never look good”.
But the series is not expected to be ready until spring.
A Sussex Royal Instagram post said in 2019: “We are excited to announce The Duke of Sussex and Oprah Winfrey are partners, co-creators and executive producers on their forthcoming mental health series launching on Apple in 2020.”
Harry and Meg have launched a podcast and signed a deal to make TV series, films and kids’ shows for Netflix.
Harry and Apple TV+ were approached for comment.

George Michael gets first number one in 24 years as Wham’s Last Christmas breaks chart record

GEORGE Michael scored a first number one in 24 years after Wham's Last Christmas reached the top of the charts.
The track, which was released by George and bandmate Andrew Ridgeley 36 years ago, now holds the record for the longest time a single has taken to reach number, replacing Tony Christie’s (Is This The Way To) Amarillo, which took 33 years and 4 months.
The pop classic's success comes four years after George died at his London home on Christmas Day from liver and heart complications, aged 53.
Martin Talbot, chief executive, Official Charts Company said: “This is a fantastic record for Last Christmas.
"Just a few weeks after Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas is You reached Number 1 after a 26 year wait, for the Wham! tune to make its own impact after so long really shows how much the British public love their Christmas classics."
Before his death, George's last track to reach number one was Jesus To A Child in 1996.
We recently revealed his estate is now worth £8.3million and rakes in £11,000 a day.
His music legacy has continued to produce pop profits that add up to millions under the sound recording and music publishing company Nobby’s Hobbies Holdings.
The estate netted £4.3m alone last year which amounts to £11,656 per day for the firm.
It takes the net worth of the late singer’s music businesses to £8.3m.
Nobby’s Hobbies Holdings, set-up in 1987, was Michael’s top music firm.
George's seven-bedroom London mansion was recently sold for £19million.
The Grade II listed home in Highgate, North London, was snapped up for more than twice the £8million the Wham! star bought it for in 2002.
The property, with swimming pool, appeared to have been sold by George’s dad Kyriacos Panayiotou after it was left to him.
After George's death there was an outpouring of grief from heartbroken fans and the star’s famous friends.
People created a shrine outside his home, but it was removed in 2018.
Reacting to the sale of the house, some said the home should be turned into a “beautiful museum” instead.
One added: “That house was, is and will be forever George’s house.”
George produced an array of hit singles and albums, both as part of Wham!, in his glittering solo career, and as a featured artist in series of high-profile collaborations.
He sold over 100 million records worldwide and performed in both the original Band Aid charity single in 1984 and alongside Elton John in the Live Aid concert the following year.
After his death, Spotify streams for George Michael hits increased by more than three thousand per cent.

LISA Armstrong ignored ex-husband Ant McPartlin's engagement news on social media tonight and instead posted about her makeup range.
The TV host popped the question to girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett on Christmas Eve after almost three years together.
But Lisa's focus was on her products, and the 44-year-old shared a review from a happy customer who had bought a moisturiser from her Avon range.
She was happy to share the five-star review from the buyer, who wrote that they "loved" the product.
She stayed radio silent on Ant's happy news, despite three years flying by since the pair called an end to their 11-year marriage.
The couple had been together for 23 years, and were officially divorced in a London court in January.
Ant's romantic proposal happened at home on Christmas Eve, after three years of dating, and the news was initially kept between friends and family.
A spokesperson for the couple confirmed the engagement this week, saying: "Ant and Amzie are delighted to announce their engagement.
"The proposal took place on Christmas Eve at home in a very romantic setting."

The Borussia Dortmund striker has excelled in Germany and could seal a transfer to the Premier League.

The Borussia Dortmund striker has excelled in Germany and could seal a transfer to the Premier League.
Jamie Carragher has confessed he is concerned over Roberto Firmino's place in the Liverpool team. And it couldn't have come at a worse time with Erling Haaland heavily linked with a move to the Premier League.
The goalless draw with Manchester United on Sunday meant Liverpool have now gone three Premier League games without scoring.Their last goal came against West Brom in the 1-1 draw last month.
Firmino has always scored less goals than his counterparts, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, but he's often been described as the glue holding the front three together.
But with both Salah and Mane currently unable to find the back of the net Firmino's lack of goals now present a concern for Liverpool.
And club legend Carragher believes Firmino's place in the starting XI is at risk.

"At this moment, I think Mane and Salah are going through poor form. It happens," he said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.
"I'm still confident that Mane and Salah will start scoring goals again, but I must say I am worried for Firmino."
He added: "He's never been seen as the goal scorer, that's the responsibility of the other two," said Carragher.
"But he's there to chip in and when they're not scoring, and I just feel he needs to be a bigger goal threat.
"Yesterday [against Manchester United], he had a couple of chances but he's not quite striking the ball right. His bringing players into the game has dropped off too."

"He's the one I'm worried about," Carragher confessed. "Whether it be a lack of form or maybe just that slow decline as you get a little bit older, which is natural for any attacker when they get to their late 20s because they don't play as long as players in other areas of the pitch.
"It's almost unprecedented, what Liverpool have done with their front three, how long they have been together and how often they play, and sooner or later that front three will have to be broken up."
Haaland has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time but it was back in November when Red Bull Salzburg's sporting director Christoph Freund claimed he would 'land at Liverpool'.
"That’s where he will land," he said on Sky90 in response to Haaland being linked with Liverpool.
"He can play for any club in the world," he continued.
"With his mentality, his will, with his self-confidence, he can make a mark on European football in the next 10 years."
Firmino's form and Carragher's fears over the forward may see Freund's claim accelerated. Especially with Liverpool and Chelsea linked with the Borussia Dortmund striker in the past few days.

How old is Mollie King? The Saturdays star and Radio 1 weekend breakfast host

MOLLIE KING is set to become a married woman after announcing her engagement to England cricketer Stuart Broad.
She rose to fame as part of girl group The Saturdays, before appearing on Strictly Come Dancing and becoming the host of Radio 1's weekend breakfast show.
Mollie King, 33, is a singer and model from Wandsworth in London, best-known for being one-fifth of girl band The Saturdays.
As a youngster, Mollie was a skiing champion and a finalist in the Miss Guildford beauty pageant.
She began her rise to fame by auditioning for The X Factor in 2005 aged 18, where she clashed with Sharon Osbourne over her chosen outfit despite impressing with her vocals.
Mollie returned in 2007 as part of girl band Fallen Angelz, but they did not progress past the Bootcamp round.
Then in that same year, Mollie auditioned to be part of girl band The Saturdays, alongside the likes of Frankie Sandford, who had been a member of S Club Juniors.
As soon as they'd formed the group toured with Girls Aloud, and they eventually released four albums, selling five million of them.
Among their best-known songs are Ego, Issues and their cover of Just Can't Get Enough.
After seven years in action and four tours, plus their own show called Chasing The Saturdays, the band went on permanent hiatus in 2014.
In 2017 the band reunited for the first time to celebrate the decade since they formed.
Mollie released her debut single, Back To You, in 2016 but as yet no solo album is forthcoming.
Mollie has been appearing on This Morning this summer to present the entertainment slot and made her full presenting debut alongside Ben Shepard.
In October 2018 it was announced that she would take over as a host on Radio 1's weekend breakfast show along with Matt Edmonson, before taking on Best New Pop on Friday mornings.
Mollie King began dating England cricket star Stuart Broad in 2018 - but the pair split just five months later in August of that year.
At the time, a source said: “Mollie and Stuart’s romance has fizzled out. Their schedules are packed and it’s not been easy to see each other often.
“It wasn’t working so they went their separate ways. There are no hard feelings.”
However, the pair rekindled the spark shortly after with the bowler proposing to the radio host on New Year's Day 2021.
Mollie enjoyed a high profile romance with British model David Gandy in 2011.
Their relationship lasted ten months, they got back together in 2015, only to split again the following year.
Prior to that she dated Andy Brown, lead singer of Lawson.
Mollie was also heavily rumoured to be dating her Strictly Come Dancing partner AJ Pritchard - as they reached the semi-final of the show.
The Sun's Bizarre column revealed the pair were caught snogging during training for the show, with their secret romance the talk of backstage.
Neither of the pair ever said whether they did date and in February 2018 former Strictly pro Branden Cole fuelled the speculation further by telling The Sun that they DID get together on the show.
Mollie has been quite open about her battle with dyslexia.
She has said: "It didn’t take long before I realised something was wrong when it came to reading out loud.
Eventually, though, reading became so hard that my mum suggested I be tested to see what the problem was. I had extra tutoring after school, and even though I still found reading a struggle.
"If I have to read a script off an autocue, I have to memorise it first. It’s the same if we’re practising a new song for the first time; the other girls in The Saturdays can sing the words as soon as they see them, but I have to study them first."

Man Utd ‘very serious’ about signing Lens star Facundo Medina with transfer window open

Manchester United have been linked with Lens star Facundo Medina at a time where the January transfer window is open.
Manchester United are reportedly ‘very serious’ about signing Lens star Facundo Medina. The 21-year-old only arrived from Club Atletico Talkers back in the summer but has sparkled in Ligue 1 so far. And the Red Devils, it seems, could strengthen their backline by making a move in the January transfer window.
At the start of the season, United’s defence was inconsistent.
But, in recent weeks, the likes of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly have all returned to form.
Despite that, however, United could bolster their backline by swooping for Medina while the January transfer window is open.
La Voix du Nord claim the Red Devils are ‘very serious’ about signing the 21-year-old, who was in impressive form before injury struck.
But while the transfer window is open, the report also claims the Red Devils’ chances of signing the young defender are ‘slim’.

However, while that’s the case, they claim United could ‘rapidly and officially make a first offer of £10.9million’.
They may then loan Medina back to the Ligue 1 side until the end of the campaign.
United have focused on signing younger talent in recent years, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eager to move away from the Galactico model of years gone by.
That’s why the Red Devils have landed fresher faces in the likes of Daniel James, Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo.
Only one United signing under Solskjaer has been over the age of 27 - Odion Ighalo, who joined on loan from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua last term.

And whether United firm up their interest in the Lens centre-back is something only time will tell.
He’s not the only player being linked with the Red Devils, either, with Real Madrid veteran Sergio Ramos emerging as a target.
Journalist Ian McGarry has claimed United’s interest has been relayed to the La Liga giants by Ramos’ brother, with the Spain international out of contract at the end of the season.
“Ramos remains recalcitrant with regards to signing the one-year deal that he has been offered,” he said.
“His brother is his agent in all of this and when asked a member of the (entourage) told us that this is classic Sergio, he plays poker with the president metaphorically and waits for him to blink and then signs the deal that he wants, and will stay.
“However, it is the case that the said same contact revealed to us Sergio’s brother has told them (Madrid) that Manchester United have been in contact.
“We’re unable to confirm that today on the podcast, we will endeavour to do so in the coming days for you and report that on the podcast next week.
“However, it kind of fits with some of the things that Solskjaer has been doing at Old Trafford, I’m thinking of Edinson Cavani here Duncan in brining an experienced and older player who has achieved lots of success.
“Ramos is if anything a brilliant leader and would be someone that would certainly be beneficial to Solskjaer’s defence in terms of commanding it, bringing calmness and a sense of authority that they currently lack as well.
“So it would not be out of any kind of sense of reality that Manchester United may well have an interest in Sergio Ramos, remember they did have interest in him the last time he was out of contract.
“Of course, Madrid do expect him to sign a new deal.
“But it’s just he’s waiting for the offer of more than one year.”

'At the coalface': what the Australian expert in WHO's Covid mission in China hopes to find

The Guardian

The medical virologist Prof Dominic Dwyer has barely been in China for 24 hours, but he has already joined several Zoom calls from his room in hotel quarantine planning the logistics of an ambitious investigation into the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The World Health Organization selected Dwyer, a director at New South Wales Health Pathology in Australia, for the complex and politically fraught task, along with 14 other physicians, scientists and researchers from around the world. Most of the team arrived in China on Thursday after months of intense diplomatic negotiations with Chinese authorities and setbacks to their entry.
As early as April 2020 countries including the US and Australia had called for the independent assessment of what happened before the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission first reported cases of pneumonia in December 2019, later identified as Covid-19. Wuhan, home to more than 11 million people, is the commercial hub and sprawling capital of central China’s Hubei province.
“It’s obviously very complex,” Dwyer tells the Guardian. “There are scientific, medical and political influences on all of this. But I think for this exercise, given that we’re now really just past the first year anniversary of the beginning of all of this … one of the most important tasks is the understanding of what hasn’t been published, what those results are, and what needs to be done to get that information.”
China initially rejected demands for the international investigation, before eventually approving a list of WHO experts to enter the country. In November, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said: “Although China was the first to report cases, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the virus originated in China.” In the same month, Beijing amplified its criticisms of Australia, issuing a dossier of 14 key areas of dispute with the Australian government. The call for an independent investigation into the origins of Covid-19 was among the list of grievances.
It is in this environment, and amid scepticism about how much access and information China will allow the WHO team, that the investigators’ work in China has begun. But Dwyer says he does not feel uneasy.
“I think one of the features of these WHO missions is the people come in without their national viewpoints, biases or the politics,” he says. “That’s one of the advantages of WHO. As an international organisation it’s not about where you’re from. I think that’s an important way to dampen down political aspects of one country versus another.
“It is very early days, but everyone has been unfailingly polite, welcoming and friendly in obviously constrained circumstances. I’d be surprised if anybody said ‘Oh, you’re Australian, we’re not going to talk to you’. It doesn’t work that way. And that’s why it’s disappointing when leaders in some countries decide they don’t want to fund WHO.
“You need these international organisations precisely to get over the blame game, the politics and the country-versus-country type stuff.”
The WHO team were chosen for expertise in one of three key areas, Dwyer says: animal health and animal viruses; human viral infections and transmission; and epidemiology and public health.
As well as his work in pathology, the 64-year-old is a physician at Westmead hospital in Sydney, where he trained in microbiology, virology and infectious diseases. His specialism is HIV/Aids, and he was involved in the treatment of some of Australia’s first patients with that virus.
Fluent in French, he undertook postgraduate research at the renowned Institute Pasteur in Paris in the laboratory of Luc Montagnier, who in 2008 was awarded the Nobel prize in medicine alongside Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, for their discovery of HIV. Dwyer has worked with the WHO before, spending six months in Beijing in 2003 at the height of the Sars outbreak as China locked down the capital and closed thousands of public places.
“To see a city of that size in complete lockdown, with everything shut, everyone in a panic, was really quite remarkable, and in fact quite a good learning exercise for Sars-CoV-2 [the virus that causes Covid-19].”
He has trained people in laboratories in the Philippines and Singapore, and worked with the Australian government in 2005 to manage the threat of H5N1, more commonly called “bird flu”, in Vietnam. Dwyer says one of the WHO team’s first tasks when their quarantine ends on 25 January will be speaking with laboratory assistants, scientists and physicians in China.
“That face-to-face contact is important,” he says.
“They’re the people actually involved at the coalface, and they may well have a different view, or different findings, to what might be presented at a higher level. My experience with Sars and other things is that when you get to talk to your peer group, they too want to find out what’s going on, they don’t want things to be unknown, hidden or uncertain.”
There is evidence that suggests the virus jumped from a natural reservoir, such as bats, to an intermediary animal host, possibly triggering an outbreak among animals in the Wuhan wet market. In humans, the virus was first identified in people who worked at or visited the market. Visiting the wet market will be key, Dwyer says. Access was not granted to a small team of WHO officials when they first went to China to investigate the outbreak in February last year.
“Getting an understanding of the physical layout of that market, even if it’s closed, is important because the very preliminary information to date on the market shows a layout over a very large area, and there were parts of the market that had appeared to have a lot of cases of Covid while other parts didn’t,” Dwyer says.
“Why was that? And how does the market physically interact with other parts of the city? How do people work there? All of those sorts of things you can do on the ground.”
Could it be that despite their efforts, the work of the WHO team over the coming weeks may lead to interesting findings that nonetheless never reveal how and where the virus first infected humans?
“I think that’s true,” Dwyer says. “It may be that we never find virus zero. But I think the important thing then becomes: how did it move from those very few patients in the market and then into the city, then the rest of China and the rest of the world?
“Now of course it doesn’t mean that the outbreak actually started in Wuhan. We know the market was the amplifying event. But there were cases before then. So where were those early cases from? Were they in people travelling to work in Wuhan, or have animals travelled to Wuhan?
“It’s an easy assumption just to say, ‘It’s all in Wuhan’. But I think information from before then, about the early movement of the virus in people before it really got going, is perhaps going to be the most interesting, and indeed difficult, part.”

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang cast: What happened to the children?

CHITTY Chitty Bang Bang stole the hearts of movie-goers when it was released in 1968.
Here's what happened to the film's child stars.
The children of the movie became international stars after the film's release.
The movie, which came out in 1968, starred Dick Van Dyke as their mad inventor dad, Caractacus Potts.
Sally Ann Howes played Truly Scrumptious and Lionel Jeffries was Grandpa Potts
Here we take a look at the lives of the kids after the famous film...
As Jemima Potts, the eight-year-old Brit stole the heart of movie-goers everywhere in the classic 1968 movie.
But her life after the film was very different.
As a teenager, Heather ran away from her Dundee home after her parents’ split, which she blamed on her global fame.
She became an activist and lived in makeshift peace camps where she raised her two children, daughter Josie and son Cosmo.
In 1984, she was arrested during a protest at the Faslane nuclear submarine base in Scotland after lying down in the road to block traffic.
She was held for 15 hours before being released without charge.
She eventually settled back into a “normal life” in her hometown of Dundee but her troubles were far from over.
In 1999, she faced a legal battle with her family after her aunt and uncle attempted to get her evicted from her grandmother’s house.
Seven years later she was arrested for driving without a licence – presumably in a car that just refused to fly.
The former child star, now 59, is writing a book about the movie and is hoping to return to acting.
In 2016 she revealed: "For a long time I blamed the split of my family on the film.
“As an eight-year-old it was a natural conclusion to reach, that it must be the film's fault.
"But I am now beginning to realise that there are some problems in my family that have nothing to do with the film."
By Heather's side in the famous flying car and the Childcatcher’s cage was fellow child actor Adrian Hall, in his first screen role as Jeremy Potts.
Adrian went back to grammar school after finding fame in the film, before attending drama school at 18.
But he took Chitty Chitty Bang Bang off his CV after failing to land more work.
He said: “I know that it stopped me being considered for roles. People only think you're a child actor. It wasn't until I removed it that I got my first jobs."
After a moderately successful career in West End theatre, he gave it all up 13 years ago.
Instead he took up work as a teacher at the Guildford School of Drama.
"This is far more rewarding than acting," he said.
"If you are on stage for two hours you get a round of applause and that's it."
Adrian, also 61, has two sons from his former dancer wife Barbara and is currently the Principal of London’s Academy of Live and Recorded Arts.

Bake Off’s Candice Brown strips to a bikini and gives 2020 the finger after year that saw her marriage end

CANDICE Brown has shared a bikini-clad kiss-off to 2020 – the year she saw her marriage to husband Liam Macaulay end.
The Great British Bake Off star, 36, took to Instagram on New Year’s Eve to share the playful video.
In a break from her usual baking content, Candice posted a humorous black-and-white clip, which shows her emerging from the sea in a dark-coloured bikini.
She walked towards the camera – looking fantastic with damp hair and seemingly make-up free – and gave the lens the finger.
And the video ends with Candice sticking out her tongue, before moving off-screen.
Candice simply captioned the clip: “2020 F off.”
It seems it hasn’t been the greatest year for Candice, who announced her split from Liam earlier in 2020.
A rep for Candice told The Mirror at the time: “I can confirm Candice and Liam separated earlier this year.”
Candice and Liam wed in 2018 in a secret ceremony held at the idyllic Château de Varennes in Burgundy, France.
The nuptials followed a five-year romance and their engagement in 2017.
Liam, a Scottish tree surgeon, reportedly met Candice in a pub in 2012 – four years before Candice became a household name by winning The Great British Bake Off in 2016.
The couple lived together in Bedford, with a household full of pets: pomeranian Sybil, pug Dennis and their bulldog, Harry.

LITTLE Mix have shared their first video as a trio to wish fans a Happy New Year – without former bandmate Jesy Nelson.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall posted a short clip on their Instagram story to welcome fans around the world into 2021.
But recording as a three-piece didn’t dampen their spirits, as they shouted: "Happy New Year!”
The caption read: "We can't wait to see you all again very soon. Ps Sweet Melody is the perfect song for the top of your New Year playlists" – with a wink emoji at the end.
The Brit Award-winning girl group looked stunning in matching monochrome outfits, and squealed as a loud pop of baby blue confetti burst in the air.
After the bang, Leigh-Anne, 29 can be heard saying: “Oh, it’s a nice one this time!”
It’s perhaps unsurprising that all three women are used to being showered with confetti, given that it’s the title of their sixth album.
Confetti, which contains the hits Sweet Melody and Break Up Song, was released on 6 November, five weeks before Jesy Nelson’s departure was announced.
Jesy, 29, has only shared a few glimpses of life post-Little Mix, though did post her own New Year’s Eve video for her 7.5 million fans.
The singer appeared to be sat on her sofa as she filmed a clip of her dog dancing to a cringeworthy scene in The Inbetweeners Movie, which aired on E4 from 10pm last night.
Meanwhile, it seems Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne are kicking off January 2021 with a few new endeavours.
Perrie, 27, has spent the New Year teasing fans about her new project Disora – with no information bar a mysterious black website called We Are Disora, plus a rapidly-growing Instagram page.
Meanwhile Leigh-Anne recently released her own fashion collection with ASOS – and has been fighting to get planning permission to build a spa at her £5million Surrey mansion.
And Jade, 28, is rumoured to be in the running for numerous TV presenting gigs, and has been busy moving in with new boyfriend and Rizzle Kicks rapper Jordan Stephens.

Krisenzustand in Südkalifornien: Krankenhäuser sind voll, Sauerstoff für Patienten ist knapp, Sanitäter müssen in Rettungswagen behandeln. Eine Politikerin spricht von einer "menschlichen Katastrophe".
In Südkalifornien hat sich der Corona-Notstand noch weiter verschärft. Rettungskräfte im Bezirk Los Angeles sind inzwischen angewiesen, bestimmte Patienten mit geringer Überlebenschance nicht mehr in Kliniken zu bringen. Sollte etwa bei einem Herzstillstand eine Wiederbelebung vor Ort nicht erfolgreich sein, sollten die Patienten "nicht transportiert werden", hieß es in einer Anordnung des Rettungsdienstes vom Montag (Ortszeit).
Alle Neuigkeiten zur Corona-Pandemie finden Sie im News-Ticker von FOCUS Online
"Menschliche Katastrophe": Sauerstoff soll rationiert werden
Auch Sauerstoff ist knapp und soll rationiert werden. Laut Anweisung soll das Verabreichen von Sauerstoff auf Notfall-Patienten mit niedriger Sauerstoffsättigung im Blut von weniger als 90 Prozent begrenzt werden. Mit Blick auf steigende Infektions- und Todeszahlen im Raum Los Angeles sprach die Bezirkspolitikerin Hilda Solis von einer "menschlichen Katastrophe". Sie warnte vor noch schlimmeren Folgen, falls die geltenden Lockdown-Auflagen nicht befolgt würden.
Im Bezirk Los Angeles, zu dem auch die gleichnamige Metropole an der Westküste gehört, leben rund zehn Millionen Menschen. Allein am Dienstag wurden dort über 13.000 neu bestätigte Corona-Neuinfektionen und 224 Todesfälle im Zusammenhang mit einer solchen Infektion erfasst. Die Todeszahl seit Beginn der Pandemie übersteige damit 11.000, teilte das Gesundheitsamt mit. Die Gesundheitsexpertin Barbara Ferrer sprach von einem "schrecklichen Meilenstein".
"Das Schlimmste liegt fast sicher noch vor uns"
Die Behörde warnte vor einem weiteren Anstieg der Fall- und Patientenzahlen in Folge der Reisen und Familientreffen an den Feiertagen. "Das Schlimmste liegt fast sicher noch vor uns", sagte die Chefin des Gesundheitsamtes, Christina Ghaly. Die Krankenhäuser würden mit Covid-19-Patienten überschwemmt. Vielerorts müssten Krankenwagen Stunden warten, bevor Patienten aufgenommen werden könnten. Ghaly forderte die Menschen auf, Krankenhäuser nur in absoluten Notfällen aufzusuchen.
Wegen der zugespitzten Corona-Lage in Los Angeles ist nun auch die Verleihung der Grammy-Musikpreise von Ende Januar auf Mitte März verschoben worden. Nach Mitteilung der Recording Academy am Dienstag (Ortszeit) hat die Krise in Los Angeles mit überfüllten Krankenhäusern zu dieser Entscheidung beigetragen. Die Grammys zählen zu den begehrtesten Musikpreisen der Welt. Die 63. Verleihung ist nun für den 14. März geplant.
Kalifornien: Seit Mitte Dezember gelten scharfe Corona-Regeln
Seit Mitte Dezember gelten für die meisten Bezirke in Kalifornien verschärfte Ausgangsbeschränkungen und andere Auflagen. Kontakt mit anderen Haushalten soll vermieden werden. Viele nicht lebensnotwendige Geschäfte sind geschlossen, darunter Friseure und Bars. Restaurants dürfen nur Essen zum Abholen anbieten.
Kalifornien ist mit rund 40 Millionen Einwohnern der bevölkerungsreichste US-Bundesstaat. Insgesamt wurden dort seit Beginn der Pandemie mehr als 2,4 Millionen Infektionen mit dem Erreger Sars-CoV-2 nachgewiesen. Nach Angaben des Gouverneursbüros am Dienstag sind mehr als 27.000 Menschen an einer Coronavirus-Infektion gestorben.

Coleen Rooney beams as she poses alongside sons Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass in matching pyjamas for New Year snap

MUM-of-four Coleen Rooney called her sons Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass her “NYE dates” in a family photo from New Year's Eve.
Her sons – ranging in age from two to 11 – were all smiles while matching their mum's pyjamas, as they gathered together for a sweet December 31st snap.
Coleen, 34, beamed at the centre of the Instagram post, writing a poignant caption alongside it.
She penned: “Happy New Year from me and my NYE dates. I wish you all Health and Happiness for 2021.
“Let’s hope next year we can all safely party, dance, kiss, cuddle and bring in the New Year together with our friends and family. ❤️”
Fans were quick to like the gorgeous family portrait, including celeb pal Lizzie Cundy.
She wrote: “Happy new year to you all. Lovely pic.”
But one Instagram follower was quick to notice a missing face: the boys’ dad and Coleen’s husband, 35-year-old Derby County footballer Wayne Rooney.
They asked: “No Wayne?”
Coleen – perhaps best known at the moment for the ongoing Wagatha Christie scandal (which rival Rebekah Vardy says will end in 2021) – has been sharing charming family photos throughout the festive season.
She and her four sons posed just two days ago with a snowman they’d built, in a snowy field – presumably nearby to their glamorous Cheshire home.
She captioned it simply: “Snow days ❄️☃️”
And Wayne did make an appearance in a Christmas Day snap, in which Coleen wore a festive, glittery green dress – while Wayne and his mini-me sons opted for cosy jumpers.
TV personality Coleen also uploaded professionally-taken Christmas Eve photos of Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass, posing on their own, but again in matching red pyjamas.

Australia's share market was marginally lower and there were losses in most sectors after modest gains on US markets.
The S&P/ASX200 benchmark index was lower by 17.9 points, or 0.26 per cent, to 6661.2 at 1200 AEDT on Wednesday.
The All Ordinaries was down 10.8 points, or 0.15 per cent, at 6928.3.
Consumer staples was the hardest hit sector and lost 1.66 per cent. There were also losses of more than one per cent for health, property and information technology.
Energy was the standout performer. The sector rose 3.38 per cent after oil prices hit an 11-month high just below $US57 a barrel, bolstered by Saudi Arabia's plans to limit supply,
Earlier in the US, some investors told Reuters they were cautious ahead of earnings season and due to developments in Washington after supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building last week.
Democrats have moved to impeach Trump for inciting the deadly rampage.
In Australia, the lofty unemployment rate looks set for improvement with job vacancies rising as the economy recovers from last year's recession.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics said job vacancies in the November quarter jumped 23.4 per cent to be 12 per cent higher than a year earlier and surpassing pre-COVID levels seen in February.
ABS head of labour statistics Bjorn Jarvis said the 48,000 rise in the November quarter follows the sharp 77,000 increase reported three months earlier as COVID restrictions continued to be relaxed across Australia.
There was only one local coronavirus infection reported from NSW and Victoria, linked to a Sydney cluster. Other infections were reported from travellers in quarantine.
On the ASX, Premier Investments, the company behind stores including Just Jeans, Portmans and Smiggle, raised its first-half earnings expectation to up to 85 per cent better than the 2020 first-half.
Premier said first-half 2021 earnings before tax were expected to be 75 to 85 per cent better than the 2020 equivalent, which would produce earnings of between $221 million and $233 million.
Online sales were a big factor. These were up 60 per cent on the same period last year to $146.2 million.
Shares reached a record high of $26.70.
They had since eased to be better by 13.82 per cent to $25.60.
Energy companies prospered following the rise in oil prices.
Woodside rose 4.73 per cent to $26.52 and Oil Search was up 4.66 per cent to $4.37.
In health, CSL shed 0.97 per cent to $270.40.
In mining, BHP rose 0.47 per cent to $46.22, Fortescue gained 0.45 per cent to $25.24 and Rio Tinto climbed 0.65 per cent to $122.20.
In banking, NAB had the biggest loss of the big four, down 0.46 per cent to $23.35.
Westpac was best and rose 0.17 per cent to $20.52.
AVZ Minerals was another of the better performers across the market.
It rose 4.87 per cent to 21 cents after claiming a consultant verified its Manono lithium sulphate product can be used to help make batteries.
The company is planning a lithium sulphate plant in the Congo.
On Wall Street, stocks fluctuated near unchanged for the session, not far from record highs. The Dow rose 0.19 per cent, the S&P 500 gained 0.04 per cent and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.28 per cent.
The Aussie dollar was buying 77.66 US cents at 1200 AEDT, higher from 76.91 US cents at the close of trade on Tuesday.

Liverpool legend John Barnes explains why Thiago is the reason for Reds' poor form

Liverpool have not won any of their last four Premier League matches.

Liverpool have not won any of their last four Premier League matches.
Liverpool legend John Barnes believes Thiago Alcantara has contributed to the poor form of the Reds' front three. Liverpool have failed to score in their last three matches in the Premier League - the first time that has happened since 2005. The attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, which has proved so fruitful in recent seasons, have started all three of those matches.
Thiago, who joined from Bayern Munich last summer, has recently returned from a lengthy injury-lay off.
Liverpool fans were understandably excited by the Spain international's arrival following his performance in the Champions League final win for Bayern Munich last season.
However, Barnes believes the 29-year-old slows down the play in midfield, which doesn't help Salah, Mane and Firmino.
Thiago came on as a second-half substitute in the 0-0 draw at Newcastle United but played the entirety of the 1-0 loss at Southampton and the stalemate with Manchester United on Sunday.

Barnes says there is no doubt over Thiago's talent but says it is not currently benefiting the front three.
“Thiago, who was running the game and was the best player in the first half [against United], I don’t think that necessarily helped the front three," Barnes told talkSPORT.
“With [Jordan] Henderson and Fabinho in midfield, they just get the ball forward and are much more direct for the three strong-running strikers to get on the ball and go on attack, Thiago slows the game down.
“When he slowed the game down in tight areas, that is not Mane’s game, that is not Salah’s game.

“So we’re getting used to a new system, but at the moment it’s not working."
Liverpool continue to be without star defenders Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.
And Barnes believes Van Dijk's absence in particular has affected the team psychologically.
He added: “When you’re so used to playing a particular style with a particular way with three hard-working midfield players, you’ve got Van Dijk at the back who gives you that assurance, which allows the full-backs to go forward with conviction and be creative.
“All of a sudden, the psychological effects of Van Dijk not being there affects the whole team.
“So it doesn’t necessarily physically affect the team in terms of what they do.
“But if you look at Trent Alexander-Arnold, for example, or even Andy Robertson, when Van Dijk is there they know they can go forward with conviction knowing that they’re safe at the back.
“I don’t think they’re being as creative.”

Doctor Who cast: Who is starring season 13?

DOCTOR WHO is set for a 13th season with Jodie Whittaker continuing as the famous Time Lord.
But following the festive special, there has been a massive shake-up in the cast.
After the Revolution of the Daleks special, the TARDIS team will look quite different.
Bradley Walsh, who played Graham, and Tosin Cole (Ryan) have both left Doctor Who - but details over who will star in season 13 remain few and far between.
Jodie Whittaker reprises her role as The Doctor, returning for a third season as the Time Lord.
She had revealed in January 2020 that she would continue in the lead role, having become the first female to play the famous character back in 2017.
Jodie has previously starred in Broadchurch, Black Mirror and in the St Trinian's films.
Mandip Gill is also back for her third season as Yaz.
Doubt was cast over her future after fans wondered about what lengths she would go to protect the Doctor against The Cyberman in series 12 and if she would escape the series unscathed.
But she is back as part of the TARDIS team.
Liverpudlian comedian John Bishop will become one of the new faces of Doctor Who as he joins the TARDIS team as Dan.
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."
John is best known for his stand-up comedy shows along with starring on A League of Their Own.
Despite the festive special, it is unknown when the new season will return.
With the coronavirus pandemic, production has been pushed back for the next series.
And it will also be shorter than initially planned, with just eight episodes, instead of 11.

HOT SINCE 82 has kept himself busy this year.
At the end of last month he dropped his debut full length studio album, Recovery on his highly regarded Knee Deep In Sound label. The project was largely recorded during the lockdown period from his home studio.
The 13-track release is characterised by a long list of star-studded collaborators, including UK cultural icon Boy George and Jamie Jones, Rudimental, London singer-songwriters Liz Cass and Temple, amongst others also on the project.
As well as running the highly influential Knee Deep In Sound imprint and Labyrinth club residency, ‘Recovery’ follows last years acclaimed ‘8-track’ project, which amassed more than 30 million streams to date, with all proceeds donated to mental health charity MIND following release. He told The Night Bazaar in a recent interview:
"I simply based Recovery on what l was feeling emotionally. After 8-track, I wanted to create something that reflected the positivity I was feeling, and how I am now looking forward rather than back. I also wanted to produce something that anyone could listen to. It wasn’t aimed at a specific genre and that’s why there are so many different styles on there."
To mark the release of the album HS82 aka Daley Padley took to the skies to play a very special set from a hot air balloon.
"It’s one of those things that’s cool to tick off your bucket list and, trust me, my list is huge!!!! It was beautiful but a little scary too. I’m not afraid of heights but not being strapped in was very nerve racking. Super happy we managed to pull it off and live another day."
Watch and listen to his sky high set below.
We caught up with him to talk more about Recovery, the collaborations on the long player and why mental health is an important issue for him to highlight which you can read in full HERE.
He also talks us through an exclusive playlist he has compiled for us of music that inspired the making of the album which you can listen to below.
Majid Jordan - King City
"A great slow groove with a happy vibe! I love this band."
Gat Decor - Passion
"Pure Ibiza vibes and something that I always try to channel into my own music."
Bicep - Glue
"I have always loved Bicep's records. It’s a great mix of house and old skool breaks!"
Maya Jane Coles feat. Karin Park - Everything
"I love Maya's records. They are always haunting and deep."
Sasha & Emerson - Scorchio
"This track is driving but melodic. It's a classic! I tried to capture that progressive sound on my record ‘Rules’ from my new album Recovery."
Todd Terje - Inspector Norse
"A total summer record and totally unique."
Jamie Woon - Night Air
"His first album was insane! I can’t skip a record from it. Great voice."
Deep Dish - Stay Gold
"One of my all time favourites. I love how Deep Dish used vocals with a classic deeper influence. Pure sunshine."
Mathias Meyer - Infinity
"The perfect combination of a driving groove and a cheeky well worked sample."
Kate Simko - Go On Then
"Effortlessly vocal with a techy, bass and deep production. It features Jem Cooke who I also love to work with and features on my new album."

EASTENDERS star Hetti Bywater was compared to Cameron Diaz – as she said “good riddance” to 2020 in a hilarious Instagram snap.
The 26-year-old, who used to play Lucy Beale in the hit BBC soap, took to social media on New Year’s Eve with a monthly recap of the year, using an exaggerated expression to describe each month.
And her funny take on this stressful year won her comparisons to stunning Hollywood icon Cameron Diaz, 48.
Hetti shared all 12 selfies a few hours before midnight, and wrote alongside her snap: “A month by month depiction of 2020. Goodbye, good riddance.
“Ps, anyone that knows me knows that the last three expressions are god damn serious.”
And though Cameron may be 22 years Hetti’s senior – that didn’t stop one fan noticing the resemblance.
They wrote: “Some of these pics remind me of Cameron Diaz 🔥😍”
Cameron hails from San Diego, California – a world away from the East Sussex village, Sedlescombe, where Hetti was born in 1994.
But they’re both blonde, with similar features, and interestingly they also share a star sign – Virgo.
Of course, Cameron is best-known for her expressive features, stunning good looks and iconic roles in hit films, such as The Mask, Charlie’s Angels and There’s Something About Mary.
Perhaps the festive season brought Cameron to the fan’s mind, as her 2006 romcom The Holiday is often a favourite at Christmas.
Meanwhile, some of Hetti’s nearly 97,000 Insta followers focused on the message of her post – that 2020 wasn’t the greatest year of all time.
Of her frustrated, moody and desperate facial expressions, one fan wrote: “Pretty much sums up 2020 🙌”

Newcrest nod for early works at Havieron

Newcrest Mining has given the nod for $146 million in early construction works at its Havieron joint venture project in the East Pilbara as it looks to bring the underground gold-copper mine online within three years.
The works, which follow regulatory approvals late last month, include construction of a box cut, an exploration decline to access the deep ore body and supporting surface infrastructure.
The investment highlights Newcrest’s intent to bring Havieron into production as soon as possible as a high-grade ore feed source for its ageing Telfer mine 45km to the west.
Havieron is expected to extend Telfer’s mine life of three years, although Newcrest indicated in August it was eyeing another cutback at the mine given the high gold price environment.
The sanctioning of early works at Havieron follows the company’s release last month of an inferred resource of 52 million tonnes 2 grams per tonne gold and 0.31 per cent copper for 3.4Moz of gold and 160,000t of copper respectively.
Newcrest managing director Sandeep Biswas said mineralisation remained open in multiple directions outside of Havieron’s initial inferred mineral resource estimate, suggesting the resource could continue to grow with proposed drilling activities.
Australia’s biggest gold miner has secured a 60 per cent stake in Havieron and can earn up to 75 per cent of the project as part of a farm-in agreement with London-listed Greatland Gold.
The explorer recently entered a $US50m loan agreement with Newcrest to fund its share of the early works and drilling activities up to the completion of a pre-feasibility study and a subsequent feasibility study for Havieron.
Newcrest said it expected to complete the pre-feasibility study for the project before the end of the year.
The miner also has a $60m exploration farm-in deal with Antipa Resources over its 2180sqkm Wilki project, which surrounds Telfer and lies immediately to the west and north of Havieron.
The so-called Paterson province has attracted an uptick in exploration activity in recent years following Rio Tinto’s discovery of copper and gold at its Winu project, which lies about 150km north-west of Telfer.

Arsenal should give the soon-to-be vacant No 10 shirt to Emile Smith Rowe at the end of the season.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette both want it and Willian would also surely be keen having worn the same at Chelsea. But the No 10 shirt being vacated by the outgoing Mesut Ozil should be handed to one man only and Arsenal should wait until the end of the current campaign to give it a new owner.
That man is Emile Smith Rowe, who has thrived for Mikel Arteta since coming into the Gunners' starting line-up in December for the 3-1 home defeat of Chelsea.
Ozil is poised to join Fenerbahce to end an eight-year association with the north London club which has had huge highs and massive lows and will leave the No 10 shirt free in heading to Turkey.
Only a month ago, there were calls for the German World Cup winner to be restored to the team to help solve the team's creative woes but instead Smith Rowe has stepped up brilliantly to help lift the gloom that had set in at the Emirates.
With Smith Rowe - the current owner of the No 32 shirt - in the team over the past five Premier League games, Arsenal have averaged 2.2 goals per game (11 in five). In the 14 games before that, it was just 0.8 goals per game (12 in 14).
MUST READ: Why Arsenal fans have Unai Emery to thank for youngsters' impact
It is a small sample size and not all of that improvement is solely down to the 20-year-old playmaker of course, but he is making a huge contribution and only Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes has created more goalscoring chances since Smith Rowe broke into the Arsenal side.
Despite his inexperience at senior level, making just 34 first-team appearances before this season, over half of which came in the Championship with Huddersfield, Smith Rowe is making a real and tangible impact.
He's scored or assisted in seven of his last 10 games and is contributing a goal or an assist every 87 minutes across all competitions this season, having only played a total of 610 minutes in the league and in cup competitions so far.
Against Newcastle, Smith Rowe created a game-high four chances and served up Bukayo Saka's goal - to make it 2-0 - on a plate as Arsenal eventually ran out comfortable winners.
It is not just his numbers but the quality with which he carries the ball and finds his team-mates in possession. There is so much class and elegance in the way he plays, and he's also an incredibly industrious player off of the ball.
The Hale End graduate - who has been with Arsenal since the age of 10 - is making a huge impression and is showcasing quite clearly that he, along with Saka, has a massive future at the Emirates. He is already virtually undroppable at this moment in time.
There will be dips as he continues to develop and realise his potential, as his stuttering display against Crystal Palace showed, but there are few better playmakers than him at his age, aside from Manchester City's Phil Foden, when in full flow.
Smith Rowe is the natural heir to the No 10 shirt and plays with the maturity and swagger that suggests being honoured with the jersey now would not phase him.
Bukayo Saka's form in the No 7 shirt - and his similar potential and performance levels, with both playing well beyond their years - also supports the idea that the 'Croydon De Bruyne' as he has become playfully known can withstand the raised expectations.

If you look at a similar style of player in Jack Grealish, he took the same number at Aston Villa shortly before turning 21. It hasn't hampered him since either, the now 25-year-old now the Villans' captain and talisman.
Arteta had already identified Smith Rowe as a part of his long-term plans during his successful stint at Huddersfield last season, where he mustered two goals and three assists in 19 Championship appearances.
And what better way to cement his belief in the player than to give him the No 10 shirt?
Arsenal are said to be on the look-out for a new attacking midfielder but in their own academy graduate they have a player with an immense ceiling and one who should be integral to their starting eleven over the next decade if managed correctly and provided he avoids long-term injuries.
Arteta recognised Smith Rowe's form after the win at Newcastle, insisting of the attacker and team-mate Saka: "I know what they are capable of doing. They put a smile on my face. They are developing really well and that is merit to them and their team-mates.
"We try to support them and protect them. Their performances they are putting in are extraordinary.
"The boys support them with the personalities that we have in the dressing room with the senior players and other young players we have and the staff as well, which they need.
"The expectation will be high with them so we have to take them through the right path.

"It's a lift for everybody to have that mixture of energy, passion and a little bit of immaturity at times which is good as you don't play as tense like the senior players. They're doing really well."
Given what Smith Rowe is already producing and the form of the only-improving Saka alongside him, Arsenal have real cause for long-term excitement.
Over the next decade, the duo could very well grow into the calibre of players who have previously taken the No 10 and No 7 jerseys - such as Ozil and Alexis Sanchez at their peaks.
Just look at what they're producing so young. They have grown into important players for Arteta and the club with Saka the stand-out performer even as Arsenal struggled in recent months.
Smith Rowe has not had the same run in the team as Saka yet but it seems the England youth international is only set for more minutes from now on, and giving him the 10 shirt to play them in seems like a no brainer.

The Morrison government is considering launching an advertising campaign to sell its changes to workplace relations laws, after signing a new $200,000 contract for market research.
The attorney general’s department told Guardian Australia the research would “assess what employers and workers currently know and understand about the industrial relations system” and pave the way for a decision on a potential campaign.
The government insists any communications campaign would be launched only after the legislation passed parliament – but Labor accused Scott Morrison of wasting taxpayers’ money trying to convince Australian workers to take a pay cut.
The bill, introduced to parliament just before the Christmas break, contains a raft of changes to industrial relations laws, including removing rights to backpay from misclassified casual workers and increasing the flexibility of part-time work.
The most politically contentious element is a plan to suspend the “better off overall test” for two years to allow the industrial umpire to consider the impact of Covid-19 on businesses trying to cut workers’ pay and conditions. Unions have vowed to fight the omnibus industrial relations bill, labelling it the “worst since WorkChoices”.
A contract notice posted online on Friday revealed Christian Porter’s department will pay $198,000 for nearly three months of market research by Whereto Research Based Consulting. It is due to be completed by 31 March.
When approached by Guardian Australia for further details, the attorney general’s department confirmed the research was related to the industrial relations changes and would “inform decisions about the potential format and mode of any communication, including if a communications campaign is required”.
“As the reforms will apply to employers and employees, it is important people know how these industrial relations changes are relevant to them, including where to seek out further information,” the spokesperson said.
“For example, the bill will change requirements relating to casual work through a new ability to convert to permanent employment. For that to be effective, it needs to be properly understood by employers and employees.”
The spokesperson said the market research would investigate how employers and workers currently access information about the workplace system.
“This is to ensure any campaign is justified and undertaken in an efficient, effective and relevant manner, as per the Australian government’s campaign principles,” the spokesperson said.
“Decisions on any potential communications campaign will be influenced by the findings of the research. If the research supports the need for a communication campaign, this would commence after the bill receives royal assent.”
Labor’s industrial relations spokesperson, Tony Burke, said Morrison was “spending $200,000 of taxpayers’ money to see how much he can get away with”.
“How many penalty rates can he have scrapped? How many shift loadings can he have abolished? How much money can he take from workers’ pockets?”
Burke said workers could lose take-home pay “under Mr Morrison’s nasty scheme” and more “spin and marketing won’t change that”.
“Now he’s planning to spend even more money on yet another marketing campaign to try and convince Australian workers they should take a pay cut,” Burke said.
The comments build on Labor’s repeated accusations that the government is more interested in photo opportunities and marketing than practical delivery.
Figures show the government spent $128m on advertising last financial year, including $5.2m on market research for the ad campaigns.
Morrison’s department and his political office recently rejected freedom of information requests for access to taxpayer-funded research undertaken by Jim Reed, a long-term researcher for Liberal party pollster Crosby Textor.
Guardian Australia revealed earlier this month that a former senior Howard government media adviser, Richard Forbes, had been awarded a $190,000 public relations contract with Australia’s bushfire recovery agency without a full tender process.
On Wednesday the federal opposition leader, Anthony Albanese, queried $1.8m worth of communications contracts given to a firm with Liberal links and whose staff are registered as federal lobbyists.

Missing dog Watson found after disappearing from Hilton home eight-years-ago

Beloved pet dog Watson has been reunited with his family after going missing nearly a decade ago.
The Maltese Shih Tzu disappeared from his family’s Hilton home in August 2012.
But in an extraordinary stroke of luck, the now 13-year-old dog was found last Friday on the side of Wattleup Road in blistering 41C heat.
He was taken to the Hammond Park Vet in Success where the veterinarian was able to scan his microchip and use the details to return Watson to his family.
“He’s been very good with us at home, having cuddles and being patted by the kids,” owner Sheri Yeoman told 10NEWS.
“So I think that he knows he is home.”
When he went missing eight years ago, Ms Yeoman and her partner Lee Turner posted thousands of flyers and made countless phone calls to vets and pounds around Perth hoping, in vain, to track him down.
Mr Turner believes another family had been keeping Watson as their own.
“It was our understanding that he was passed on from that family to other family members,” he said.
“It was impossible for us to investigate or for police to investigate any further.”
During that time, it is believed Watson, who is now blind and deaf, was neglected and mistreated.
He suffers from eye, skin and ear infections.
“He’s also got a heart murmur. With the condition of his heart at the moment, the vet thinks (Watson has) maybe around six months,” Ms Yeoman said.
Mr Turner said the family would now do the best they could to keep him comfortable so he can “enjoy the time he’s got left”.
