TUPAC Shakur murder suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis feels let down by his fellow gangsters in his “hour of need” as he languishes in jail unable to raise his bail money. Keefe D expected to “be out and at home” hours after a Las Vegas judge granted him bail in February in the Tupac murder case. The US SunKeefe D is currently awaiting trial for Tupac’s murder[/caption] GettyIconic rapper Tupac was shot down in Las Vegas in September 1996[/caption] The US SunKeefe is still being held at Clark County Detention Center despite being granted bail[/caption] But now, the 60-year-old worries he may not be able to get out of the Clark County Detention Center before his trial, which is slated for fall. Keefe’s confidence has diminished into despair as he feels “abandoned” by “loyal soldiers” from his gang days, whom he has helped out over the years. Keefe needs to stump up around $80,000 to secure bond for the $750,000 bail, which would see him released on home arrest with a location-monitoring device. But “despite making calls,” Keefe’s friends and family have not been able to secure enough cash to allow him to get out of jail to fight for his freedom from his home in Henderson. One former gang associate claimed Keefe expected “some of those guys he helped on the way up to show him love back.” In the 1990s, by his own admission, he was earning millions of dollars as a drug kingpin in the greater LA area. The insider claims that Keefe used to regularly gift “soldiers and his loyal Crips big wads of money and cars.” He added, “He thrived on that image of being the boss who rewarded his troops.” However, fast forward three decades and the love and generosity are not “being reciprocated.” The source said, “Keefe feels let down by some of them homies who he showed huge love to back in the day. “He gave them hundreds of thousands in handouts and wages, but nothing is coming back. It is p***ing him off, man.” SHOW US THE MONEY His lawyer, Carl Arnold, exclusively confirmed that the family is struggling to find the bail money. Arnold said, “These guys, his family or whatever, are just having trouble raising the money and so that’s the issue right now. “Not enough money’s being raised and he can’t get out at this point. “Every time I see him, he thinks he should have been bailed out yesterday, but the family hasn’t come up with the money. So that’s where we’re at with that.” One issue for Keefe is that even if he does achieve the fundraising for the bond, Judge Carli Kierny has ordered a means hearing. That court procedure sees her examine the source of the money provided for the bail bond. If she feels that the sum has not been collected through legal processes then she can reject that bail bid. Keefe feels let down by some of them homies who he showed huge love to back in the day.” Keefe D associate In February, during a court hearing, Keefe complained to the judge that the media was impacting his ability to achieve bail over stories they had written about his past activities. Many of Keefe’s criminal boasts and confessions of illegal acts feature in his autobiography. Judge Kierney did not make any amendments to her source hearing decision. Keefe, who maintains his innocence, is set to face trial in November. He pleaded not guilty to the murder, despite his many admissions in media interviews to playing a key role in the killing of the rap icon. Keefe is the only person ever charged in connection with the drive-by shooting of the California Love star in Las Vegas in September 1996. Vegas Metro detectives hit a brick wall after Tupac’s death as gang members refused to discuss the killing in the 1990s. However, in the last decade, Keefe has given many interviews about how he was a key player in organizing gang members to hunt down Shakur for assassination. He also outlined the murder in his memoir. Detectives confirmed his comments led them to a murder charge, which could result in life imprisonment. It comes after Keefe told associates last week he was no snitch and had nothing to do with the recent federal raids on rapper Diddy after rumors swirled he was trying to get a plea deal. GettyAssociates of Keefe say he had nothing to do with the raids on Diddy, despite rumors[/caption] In a previous taped interview with LAPD, Keefe had claimed Diddy orchestrated the hit on Pac and offered to pay $1 million. Keefe was supposed to have immunity despite the tape – known as a proffer – although it is now being used as evidence against him after he claimed he lied to police about it. Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo declared his confidence in their case against Keefe. He stated, “The discovery is about as voluminous as I have ever had in my career.” The former Crip gang leader will be saved from death by lethal injection if convicted. The US SunKeefe’s lawyer, Carl Arnold, confirmed to The U.S. Sun that Keefe’s family has not yet come up with enough money to pay bail[/caption]
A HANGRY man was furious with his girlfriend after she served him burnt steak. People advised him to stop dating her, calling his girlfriend a “living nightmare.” GettyA man was furious with his girlfriend after she served him burnt steaks (Stock photo)[/caption] Redditor Southern-Nectarine81 shared his relationship dilemma in a post. The 31-year-old explained that he’d been living with his girlfriend for about six months. The two had a fight over home renovation tensions, where she accused him of wasting money on his DIY project. Weeks before the fight, he had ordered $200 wagyu steaks, which had arrived the evening before their fight. “It was really stupid, she disagreed with me on a project that I’m working on involving the garage, and despite the fact that I own the house we live in, kept trying to assert authority over the decisions I made,” he wrote. “She then brought up the wagyu steaks as evidence that I was wasting money on the project and expensive food. “I decided we’d have them for dinner on Friday night. My girlfriend seemed generally uninterested as she’s not much of a steak person, but she said she’d enjoy them with me.” On Friday, he explained that he had headed to work in a rare sour mood but had texted his girlfriend in the afternoon asking to talk when he returned home. “She didn’t answer. I left work around 5:30, looking forward to the steaks,” he said. “But when I walked in the door, there was this horrible smoke smell. My girlfriend greeted me, grabbed my hand, and led me to the table. She said ‘dinner is served.'” What he saw at the dinner table left him sizzling. “The steaks were pitch black. Completely inedible. Eating them would have been a health hazard,” he said. “I asked what the hell she was thinking, and she theatrically gasped with her hand over her mouth, and then said ‘Oh? Me?’ “Now, let me get one thing straight here: there is no way she accidentally got those steaks to that condition. But when I walked in the door, there was this horrible smoke smell. My girlfriend greeted me, grabbed my hand, and led me to the table. She said ‘dinner is served.’ Southern-Nectarine81 “Based on our frying pan, she probably turned the heat up as high as it would go, threw them on with no oil or butter, and just let them sit. This was completely intentional.” He doubled down on his attempt to call her out on her lie. “She kept being obtuse. She kept using little phrases like ‘Oh, aren’t you happy?’ and ‘Oh, weren’t you looking forward to these steaks?’ I’ve never been so disgusted with her,” he said. In his rage, he cancelled reservations for his girlfriend’s birthday dinner with her parents, which was to take place a few days later, on Sunday. “I just flat-out told her that I was canceling the reservation,” he said. “She immediately flipped and told me that her parents were going to be super upset, but I didn’t care. “She grabbed the steaks and threw them in the garbage (where they were going to go anyway) and then stormed off.” People agreed that he wasn’t to blame. “Your relationship is more burnt than the steak and should be thrown into the garbage bin too,” said one commenter. “Save yourself a whole life of this. Six months and already showing you she is a living nightmare. RUN, BOY! She loves having power over you. It will only get worse from now on.”
THIS is the chilling moment a 15-year-old girl lies to cops after she lured a teen to be murdered. Lyrico Steede, 17, was knifed nearly 20 times following a “date” in Bulwell, Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire PoliceLyrico Steede was stabbed to death by a four gang members after being lured to a park[/caption] A 15 year old girl who enticed Lyrico to his death on February 13, 2018, attempted to paint herself as a victim Channel 4Lyrico Steede was chased down and killed after being lured to a park by a girl on Snapchat, pictured here[/caption] But in a police interview, the girl who had enticed Lyrico on February 13, 2018, attempted to paint herself as a victim. She told cops: “At first I messaged him on Instagram, that’s how we got in contact with each other. “Then we switched it over to Snapchat. He messaged me saying ‘What you doing, shall we meet up?’.” After about an hour, she says several people came into the park where the pair were and “ran” towards them. She claimed she and Lyrico fled four gang members after they stole her iPad and pursued him. After escaping, she said she went looking for Lyrico but went home because she was “worried and scared”. But her version of events turned out to be a total lie when cops obtained CCTV showing her on a bus with the iPad she claimed was stolen. The video also shows her ducking down and hiding between the seats when a police car drives past. Lyrico had tripped and fallen before being stabbed 18 times – including six times on the face – in a frenzied attack. In his dying breath, he managed to tell police he had been stabbed by four youths. INVESTIGATION But officers struggled to find a motive or even the location where he had been attacked – sparking a gigantic investigation. The story of Lyrico’s murder featured in new Channel 4 series Murder Case: Digital Detectives on Monday night. It reveals how cops were able to piece together clues to solve the slaying using CCTV and phone records. Using the location, officers were able to find “gold dust” CCTV that showed the teen being chased through the park but also proved Lyrico hadn’t started a fight that night. But it raised questions, including how the killers knew he would be in the park at that time. This lead police to establish the attack wasn’t random and Lyrico was meant to die that night. ‘DIGITAL FOOTPRINT’ A taxi later confirmed it had driven a group to Sneinton, around five miles away from where the teen died. The taxi had been cleaned, destroying all the DNA, but the driver had kept a mobile phone that one of the boys left in his car. Forensic experts found fingerprints on the old Nokia but they didn’t match anyone on the police database. A breakthrough came when police were able to find a “digital footprint” for Kasharn Campbell, whose name was given to them following a media appeal. He messaged me saying ‘What you doing, shall we meet up?’ Girl, 15, who lured Lyrico to his death His phone had tried to “shake hands” with cell towers and public wi-fi spots, with the data revealing he had travelled in the same direction as the taxi driver. The girl, who can’t be named, was found to have been in contact with Campbell – suggesting Lyrico had been lured to his death by her. DCI Williams said: “Girl 1 is very significant…it couldn’t happen without her – that’s the honeytrap bit.” Police were then given two more names – Remell Miller-Campbell and Christian Jameson. GOOGLE SEARCHES FOR MURDER Officers finally cracked the case when they tracked CCTV along the taxi’s route and found footage of the two suspects in a shop that showed Jameson on the phone at 6.42pm. This call matched a call made by a mobile in the taxi as it travelled from Sneinton to Bulwell – placing him in the park on the night of the murder. Jameson was later found with a phone hidden up his backside while in custody which showed not only Google searches about Lyrico’s murder, but also a number for the Nokia that was found in the taxi for another teen – the fourth suspect. He was charged with murder alongside the teen girl, Jameson, Miller-Campbell and Campbell. Kasharn Campbell and Christian Jameson were jailed for life for 20 years and 16 years respectively for murder. The fourth attacker – a 17-year-old boy – and Remmell Miller-Campbell, 18, were found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter and jailed for a total of 16 years. Although they are behind bars, for Lyrico’s mum the horror continues as she is repeatedly tormented by her son’s final moments. She tells the show: “He always reassured me when he was out he was safe.” Nottinghamshire PoliceKasharn Campbell (L), Christian Jameson (M) and Remmell Miller-Campbell (R) were all jailed for Lyrico’s murder[/caption] Nottinghamshire PoliceThe story of Lyrico’s murder featured in new Channel 4 series Murder Case: Digital Detectives on Monday night[/caption] Channel 4The girl lied about what happened that night and boarded a bus as Lyrico was murdered[/caption] Channel 4The 15-year-old girl hides behind bus seats with her iPad as a police car races to the scene[/caption]
AUSTRALIAN police have declared the stabbing at a church in a Sydney suburb a “terror act”. New South Wales police officers rushed to the scene where they detained a fifteen-year-old boy accused of stabbing a Bishop and three others during Mass. ReutersNew South Wales cops have declared the church stabbing a “terror act”[/caption] XA live stream appeared to show the terrifying moment Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was stabbed[/caption] FacebookBishop Emmanuel was reportedly stabbed multiple times[/caption] Footage showed the attacker smiling as he was pinned to the floor The incident happened while Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was preaching on Monday afternoon at Sydney’s Wakeley church – just days after six were stabbed to death at a mall in Sydney. Police arrested the attacker and held him at the church after an angry mob congregated outside the church and demanded revenge. Cops have now labelled the incident a “terrorist act motivated by suspected religious extremism”. NWS Police Commissioner Karen Webb said: “At 1.35am this morning, after consideration of all the material, I declared that it was a terrorist incident. “We believe there are elements that are satisfied in terms of religious motivated extremism.” Webb confirmed that a strike force has been established to investigate the incident and that police forces across New South Wales will be coordinating to resolve the incident. New South Wales Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland added that the fifteen-year-old suspect was “known to police” and was not a regular attendee at the church. Holland revealed that the investigators spoke to the suspect early on Tuesday morning. Holland said: “He’s fairly upset and very distraught. He’s asked to speak to his parents at this stage and we’re making arrangements with his parents to make contact with him. “Police are obviously making sure that that young person is safe and, and obviously with the action of the parishioners and obviously the local community, there was concerns for his safety. “Hence, the decision was made to detain him in the in the church until later in the night.” Just weeks before the deplorable attack, the Bishop revealed that he had received many threats on his life over social media. In one sermon, he said: “There’s been a video circulating on TikTok and I don’t know where else, saying that the bishop has two weeks to live.” The brave Bishop claimed that the threats had not affected him as death could only bring him closer to the Lord. He said: “Whether I stay or not, that doesn’t matter, really. I’ve had my share of this world. And I pray that the Lord takes me today before tomorrow, I want to be with him. “I’m saying it with confidence in the Lord Jesus, I love you, Lord, and I choose you. “Any time of the day, all day long, to be with you. I don’t care about the world and whatever the world gives. “Thank the person who did this video. Thank you so much. I didn’t know that I was dying in two weeks. “I’m not sure if I will go in two weeks’ time; maybe I don’t know. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think I am sick, and I’m dying.” The chilling sermon ended with the Bishop laughing about the threats, adding: “Sorry guys, I’m still sitting on your heart.” The attack on Monday afternoon saw a teenager dressed in black knife Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel during a livestreamed Mass at a church in Wakeley. YouTube livestream footage showed Bishop Emmanuel speaking at an altar when a teen dressed in a dark hoodie approached him. The teen calmly walked up to the elderly church leader before suddenly lunging at him, raising a hand which appeared to hold a knife and stabbing furiously at the bishop. The church leader fell to the ground and screams could be heard from the congregation as several churchgoers rushed forward to help. At least three other people were stabbed just after 7pm on Monday night at Wakeley’s Christ The Good Shepherd Church. Bishop Emmanuel – who has a huge following on social media – was reportedly stabbed multiple times and rushed to hospital. Footage showed him being rushed to an ambulance on a stretcher in front of a growing crowd outside. The attacker was detained by parishioners on the floor before cops swooped in and arrested him. New South Wales Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland said: “Those violent pictures are probably what caused the uproar in the community – people saw that, responded and unfortunately we ended up with a public order incident.” Further footage showed the teen smiling at a camera as he lay facedown under the weight of churchgoers – beside a man whose jeans were stained with blood. Two police officers were reportedly injured in the swarm of over 5,000 people outside of the church. One report said angry bystanders were shouting for the suspect’s surrender after he was locked inside the building for his safety. Paramedics confirmed a man in his 50s was taken to hospital with stab wounds. Three others were treated at the scene – including a man in his 30s and two others with lacerations to the arm and hand. Sydney’s Liverpool Hospital – where Bishop Emmanuel is reportedly in a stable condition – is said to be in lockdown.

THE speed limit could be raised in a part of the UK after thousands call for the controversial 20mph zones to be ditched. Wales could see the national speed limit increased over a debate to scrap the zones for residential roads. AlamyThe blanket 20mph speed limit in Wales could be coming to an end[/caption] The Welsh Conservatives want the Welsh Government to have a more “targeted approach” to the speed limit currently set at 20mph. Shadow Transport Minister Natasha Asghar MS said Labour ministers are “pushing their anti-motorist agenda”. Ashgar said: “The people of Wales want to get on with their daily lives, yet Labour’s lack of investment in public transport, road building ban, and 20mph speed limits are preventing them from doing exactly this. “We’ll be calling on the Welsh Labour Government to end their war on motorists, scrap their road building ban and 20mph speed limits, and to get Wales moving again.” A Welsh Government spokesperson said: “The Cabinet Secretary has been clear that his immediate priority on 20mph is to listen. “To support this, in the weeks ahead he will be engaging with elected representatives, businesses and communities across Wales.” A petition opposing the 20mph limit, which closed on March 13, has gained nearly half a million signatures, amassing 469,571. The Petitions Committee considers all petitions that get more than 10,000 signatures for a debate It says: “The new 20mph law is coming into force on the 17th September and it will mark the end of having socialism in power in Wales. “Welsh Government claim to have supporting evidence stating that reducing to 20mph EVERWHERE saves lives! “Yet we get flyers merely claiming that it will, and opinions from doctors that see RTCs coming into A&E. This is NOT evidence. The only true evidence is from Belfast and it states it makes NO DIFFERENCE to RTCs!” “At least one of the trial villages in Monmouthshire actually reverted their trial because it was causing absolute carnage on the roads! “Mark Drakeford has come out claiming it is a success in St Brides Major but every time I go though there NO ONE is driving at 20mph. “The Welsh Government has FAILED to produce ANY convincing evidence to support these claims of safety. “This law is being spearheaded by the WG Climate Change department and NOT Health & Safety!! YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO US. “The Welsh Government was put there BY THE PEOPLE OF WALES, We are your boss! We demand that this foolish idea be stopped.” In London, Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced that on half the roads in the capital the speed limit is to be cut to 20 miles an hour. While in September 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper, 53, said widespread use of a 20mph limit “damages the ability” for the zones to have an impact on roads where a lower speed is required for safety reasons because drivers are “less likely to comply”. The Conservative Cabinet minister told Times Radio that a study commissioned by the DfT indicated a reduction to 20mph “doesn’t actually make much difference” to driver speeds. The study published in November 2018 found 20mph limits in residential areas were supported by the majority of residents and drivers. The report concluded there was no evidence of a significant drop in the number of crashes and casualties after the introduction of 20mph limits.

RWANDA will be value for money if it deters just a third of small boats, the Home Office claims. The assessment would need the number making the Channel crossing to be cut by 10,000 a year. EPASunday saw 534 migrants arrive on small boats – the highest number so far this year[/caption] It came as 534 migrants crossed on Sunday — the highest in a day for 2024. The PM last night renewed his pledge for Rwanda flights by the end of spring as MPs punted his flagship bill back to the Lords. If approved, it could be law by the end of the week. The Home Office’s top civil servant Sir Matthew Rycroft said £50million more would be sent to Rwanda once it was law. Sir Matthew also admitted to looking at other countries besides Rwanda to broaden the scheme but that only a “tiny number” were suitable. He came under fire as it emerged the Home Office grossly underestimated the costs of turning old RAF bases into migrant bases. The Wethersfield and Scampton airfields were due to cost £5million each, but the latest figures had surged to £49million and £27million respectively. And the Bibby Stockholm barge has still not reached its 400-person capacity, with the ambition to hit that figure in June.
A PET owner has shared the Amazon buy that helps with the litter and household smell. An additional tip to keep wild pet bathroom scents under control, she added, was the right litter choice. GettyA pet owner shared how they kept their home smelling clean with 10 animals[/caption] Redditor Tara-fied shared their pet advice in a post. She explained that due to her family member’s health problems, she ended up temporarily responsible for more animals than she’d bargained for. “My husband and I had my father and sister both move in with us due to their health issues so we combined three households into one,” she explained. “We have 4 dogs and 6 cats.” To keep their home smelling as fresh as humanly possible, she relied on lots of vacuuming and air purifiers. She revealed that an Amazon buy did the most to keep her household air clean. “We bought Mila air purifiers, and use the critter cuddler filters, they have helped tremendously,” she wrote. “They are expensive but I’d done a fair bit of homework about air purifiers that would help with urine smell (we had a senior cat at the time who peed on couches).” Upon doing her research, she explained that she’d settled on Mila air purifiers due to their built-in pet-friendly functions. “I looked at the specs specifically for the critter cuddler filters and ammonia,” she said. “Versus some other options on the market.” She added that Mila brand air purifiers weren’t the only option on the market. “Not implying Mila air purifiers are the only way to go, there are many great options out there that are way less expensive,” she said. To keep their home spotless, they also invested in automatic vacuums. GettyShe relied heavily on air purifiers to keep air fresh[/caption] “Robot vacuums are a big help too,” she said. “Both of these options are expensive but can be added in slowly, we asked for gift cards toward them as birthday and Christmas gifts.” The pet expert added that the right litter choice also changed the game. GettyThe correct litter choice, she added, made a world of difference[/caption] “Lastly, the other thing that has made a huge difference for us is switching most of the litters to hardwood litter (available at hardware stores) with sifting litter bins,” she said. Tara opted for Exquisicat litter boxes that she picked up at Petsmart.
BRITS throw in the towel when it comes to financial goals they set out at the start of the year, a survey reveals. After just four months more than half of those who set any kind of money-related target have given up. GettyA study has found Brits give up on their financial goals before six months have past[/caption] The study looked at a group of 2,000 adults and discovered that out of the 56 per cent who had set annual financial targets 67 per cent stop trying before half the year has past. But 21 per cent were determined to get their money in a better shape at the start of the year – alongside becoming fitter, spending more time with family and friends, and travelling more. However, 43 per cent expect their resolutions not to go to plan this year – with 16 per cent putting it down to setting unrealistic goals and 10 per cent blaming laziness. Lack of motivation and too many distractions are other reasons for the failure of meeting self-imposed targets. The research was commissioned by NatWest, which has teamed up with athletes including Sir Chris Hoy, Max Whitlock and Beth Shriever to record a motivational “team talk for the nation”. Sir Chris Hoy said: “As a professional athlete, I know first-hand the significant role motivation plays in achieving your goals. “During training for each of my Olympic Games, my coach’s words of encouragement and the unwavering support of the entire nation were a huge part of my motivation. “Whatever your goals are, we wanted to be part of the Team Talk to inspire you to get there – just like the way our coaches inspired us. “That’s why I’ve teamed up with Team GB partner NatWest and a whole load of other incredible athletes – so whatever your goals are, you have the motivation to strive for the finish line.” The research also found 56 per cent of those polled said improving their financial situation is what motivates them most in life. A spokesperson from NatWest, Team GB’s banking partner, added: “We’re hoping to inspire people across the nation to both come together to support the team as well as get going to reach their own goals. “Our Team GB athletes are hugely inspiring, so we hope their words and experiences can help motivate the nation. Whatever your goals – let’s get going.” BRIT'S TOP 10 GOALS: 1. Getting fitter (35 per cent)2. Becoming healthier (30 per cent)3. Spending more time with family and friends (23 per cent)4.

FORMER footie idol Paul Gascoigne used to scoff corn flakes before a game to help him rise and shine on the pitch. He tucked in to the breakfast cereal as part of his pre-match meal, former team-mate Gary Lineker reveals. Match of the Day host Gary Lineker revealed on Radio 4 that Paul Gascoigne enjoyed corn flakes as a pre-game snackGetty Gazza, 56, was in his prime and playing for Tottenham at the time in the 1990/91 season. He steered Spurs to FA Cup glory with a stunning free-kick versus arch rivals Arsenal in a 3-1 semi-final win. Match of the Day host Lineker, 63, read out a list of their pre-match meals on BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme. He said: “Paul Allen, roast chicken, Nayim, lasagne, Guoni Bergsson, spaghetti bolognese — as did I apparently. “Pasta seemed to be the thing back then. “Paul Gascoigne, lasagne and corn flakes. Only Gazza.” Lineker also revealed that his plans to stay healthy in Barcelona were thrown into disarray, explaining: “I went to Barcelona and even on the day of the game you’d sit at tables of four and there would always be a bottle of Rioja on the table and four glasses.” “Even pre-match you’d drink the whole bottle between you. “Me and Mark Hughes couldn’t believe it when we first joined. “We thought ‘this is alright’. “I can’t imagine that’s still a thing now – I’d be very surprised.”

A MAJOR motorway is being completely shut for a second time — with even worse disruption this time. Seven miles of the M25 will be closed between junctions 9 and 10 in Surrey over the weekend of May 10 to May 13. GettyThe M25 is being completely shut for a second time — with even worse disruption this time.[/caption] Drivers are being urged to avoid the entire area. The stretch was first closed for a weekend last month to allow for works on a new bridge. But National Highways said diversion routes this time will be longer — and will be different for over-height vehicles. National Highways senior project manager Jonathan Wade warned that the next shutdown will be “far from a repeat of the previous closure” as the diversion routes are “longer and there will be different for over-height vehicles and all other traffic”. He added: “Drivers listened to our advice last time which reduced motorway traffic levels by over two-thirds and meant delays were limited. “Our advice again is please only travel if absolutely necessary and make sure you give yourself extra time if you do choose to use the M25.” The closure in March was the first planned daytime shutdown of the M25 since it opened in 1986.
CREATING deepfake porn is to be made illegal after hundreds of celebrities were digitally superimposed into X-rated clips. Those who make sexually explicit fake media without consent will face a criminal record and unlimited fine. APTaylor Swift was recently faced with an AI deepfake nightmare that resulted in her team fighting to remove explicit images from the web[/caption] AI-generated sex images of singer Taylor Swift were circulated on X/Twitter this year leading to calls for a crackdown. It is already illegal to share deepfake porn without consent — with offenders facing jail — but under the new offence announced today, creating it will also be a crime. Perpetrators could then be charged with two offences, potentially increasing sentences. Minister for Victims and Safeguarding, Laura Farris, said: “The creation of deepfake sexual images is completely unacceptable irrespective of whether it is shared. This sends a clear message that making it is a crime.” More than 250 Brit celebrities have appeared in manipulated clips. Love Island’s Cally Jane Beech, who has campaigned after finding her face on deepfake porn online, said: “People who do this need to be held accountable.”
SKIN patches could halve rates of deadly organ rejection in transplant patients, hope scientists running an NHS trial. Around 4,500 Brits have organ transplants each year but the body rejects them in up to a third of cases. NHS Blood and TransplantThe skin starts to come up in a rash if someone’s body is reacting badly to their transplant[/caption] An experiment will now give 152 lung transplant patients a small 10x3cm skin graft from their donor at the same time as their op. Experts believe the skin patch, to be put on the forearm, will come up in a rash if the body starts to reject it – as a warning that the lung is being rejected, too. Skin reacts faster than other organs and can be seen so it is easier for a patient to tell something is wrong. If this happens doctors can ramp up treatment to control the immune system and prevent the donated lung being rejected too. Trial leader Professor Hank Giele, from Oxford University, said: “A visible warning system like this is crucial for all transplants, but especially those with higher rejection rates. “It is often difficult to know if a reaction is caused by infection or rejection as they look the same at the early stages, but the treatments for each are completely opposite. “It’s for this reason that we have focused the trial on the lungs.” NHS rollout ‘could reduce rejection rates by 50 per cent’ Previous research on gut transplants found the skin patch may also naturally reduce the risk of rejection. The £2million trial will be run by Oxford University along with NHS Blood and Transplant and recruit 152 lung transplant patients over three years. The researchers hope if it is successful and rolled out to all lung transplant patients it could reduce organ rejection rates by up to 50 per cent. Health Minister Andrea Leadsom said: “Early detection of organ rejection means a healthier transplant, giving people greater control of their care and speeding up access to treatment.” HOW TO BECOME AN ORGAN DONOR JUST over 4,500 people received an organ transplant in 2023 from 2,387 donors – but more than 400 people per year die waiting because there are not enough donors. NHS Blood and Transplant says: “Only one per cent of people who die in the UK every year die in the right circumstances and in the right location to be eligible for their organs to be used to save someone’s life. “That is why we need as large a pool of people as possible.” The law has changed so all adults are “opt-out” organ donors, meaning hospitals can use their organs unless they told the NHS they did not want to be a donor, or their family says no after they die. Six in 10 families refuse to let doctors use their loved one’s organs. People who want their organs to be used to help others after they die can register online on this link. Health chiefs have also added sign-up options to new passport and driving licence applications to try and boost numbers.

AN eerie new video shows huge underwater drones that can enter enemy water without being detected. Northrop Grumman, an aerospace and defense tech company unveiled its first completed prototype of the Manta Ray Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV). Cover ImagesNorthrop Grumman has released photos of the ‘Manta Ray’ drone capable of entering enemy waters[/caption] The device is designed for assignments that call for long hours and extended ranges to minimize human involvement. The Virginia-based defense contractor shared a photo of the vehicle on April 8, the first day of the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space conference in Maryland. The image shows the vehicle’s glider-like body with a rounded nose, however, its dimensions are unclear at this time. The Manta Ray program began in 2020 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). The goal was to create a large underwater drone that could be used independently of vessels manned by humans. Darpa later collaborated with Northrop and PacMar Technologies to design early versions of the drone. “At Northrop Grumman, we’re creating a new type of unmanned underwater vehicle,” said Todd Leavitt, a company executive, in a statement. “Our design can carry large payloads over long distances without the need for maintenance or refueling.” The US military has become interested in uncrewed vehicles for use in operations. The Navy is also looking to create a “hybrid fleet,” using sailors and Marines with smart machinery as part of their equipment. The Manta Ray is perfect for subsea warfare, according to Darpa. The agency also noted interest in using the Manta Ray for tasks such as underwater hazard detection and threat counter-detection. It could also be used for purposes similar to the Navy’s UVV which is being developed by Boeing. This includes undersea mapping, mine detection, and passive surveillance. Northrop Grumman is the world’s third-largest defense contractor regarding defense-related revenue.
FELIPE ANDERSON has confirmed that he will leave Lazio at the end of the season. The forgotten West Ham star was out of contract at the Serie A outfit at the end of the season. GettyFelipe Anderson will leave Lazio at the end of the season[/caption] TwitterAnderson posted an emotional statement on social media[/caption] He starred for West Ham in the 2018/19 seasonGetty Images - Getty Anderson, 31, joined the Hammers from Lazio back in 2018 for a club-record fee of £45million. After a stellar first season, the attacker began to struggle in the Premier League and was not fancied by manager David Moyes. The Brazilian was initially sent on loan to Porto but struggled to make an impact in Portugal. In 2021, Anderson returned to Lazio on a permanent transfer and rediscovered his form. Now, Anderson will leave the Rome-based club yet again after revealing he has not reached an agreement on a new contract. He confirmed his exit on social media with an emotional statement. It read: “Out of respect for Lazio and its fans who always supported me, I confirm that I have not reached an agreement to renew my contract with the club and I will therefore follow a new path next season. “I always proved my professionalism and my commitment to Lazio.

Over his two spells in Italy, Anderson scored 58 goals and assisted 63 in 319 appearances in all competitions. For West Ham, he made 73 appearances, scored 12 goals and assisted 13 more. Anderson broke through at Santos as a teenager and impressed enough to earn a £5m move to Lazio. During his career, he has won the Copa Libertadores, the Recopa Sudamericana, the Supercoppa Italia and an Olympic gold medal.

STACEY Solomon has given fans a glimpse of the stunning view from her Pickle Cottage bathroom. The Loose Women star showed off the beautiful scenery outside her Essex pad as she filled her bathtub after returning from a budget family holiday. Stacey Solomon shared a sneak peek of her amazing garden StaceySolomon - InstagramStacey, Joe and their kids Rex, Rose and Belle had a lovely time on holiday[/caption] Stacey, 34, filmed her white tub filled with bubbles and slowly walked away from it to show off the incredible views from the window. She confessed: “Been looking forward to this.” Stacey played Kira’s song Home in the background. The star was happy to be back at home after a few days away with husband Joe, 42, and their kids Rex, four, Rose, two, and one-year-old Belle. The family travelled to Kent Coast Holiday Park for a well deserved break. Stacey took to her Instagram to share some snaps from their time away. She captioned the post: “Time to say goodbye. The state of us. I had to bribe our family home from the caravan park today because it’s back to school tomorrow. “There must be some kind of stigma around holiday parks because so many of you messaged saying you couldn’t believe that’s where we’d chosen to go! “Honestly I think they’re THE best. “I don’t care what anyone says, there’s just something so magical for kids about a holiday park! “The freedom, fresh air, the giant characters, the stepping into a different world & forgetting all concept of time. “It’s special. Everyone is slightly dishevelled, we have no clean clothes left, our hands stink of two p’s. “We had a thousand tickets from the arcade that got us some sweets & a sling shot when we cashed them in. “Now it’s time to get us all in the bath, get that washing machine on & get ready for the school runs in the morning.” Stacey is also mum to Zachary, 15, and Leighton, 11, who are from previous relationships. Earlier this month Stacey hit back after receiving ’10 million warning messages’ from fans about her family pets – Teddy and Peanut. In a video posted to her page, one fan pointed out that Rose had dropped from raisins on the floor – which is a food that dogs shouldn’t eat. Replying to a fan, Stacey said: “This is why I was telling Rose we have to pick them up and they can’t be eaten by the doggies and there are no doggies around Belle’s high chair when usually that’s their favourite spot. “But just in case any of that still wasn’t clear… DON’T feed raisins to dog.” The X Factor legend Stacey and former EastEnders star Joe first started dating in 2016. Stacey and Joe got engaged in 2020 and tied the knot at their home in 2022. They moved into Pickle Cottage in 2021.

MAURICIO POCHETTINO blasted his Chelsea “kids” for their petulant penalty argument. Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson had an embarrassing bust-up over who would take a spot-kick when they were 4-0 up against Everton with Pochettino warning they will be dropped if it ever happens again. PAMauricio Pochettino criticised Chelsea for behaving like ‘kids’ after a bizarre penalty spat[/caption] The Blues boss has threatened to wield the axe if it happens againGetty "For me, this is them showing their age…" @Carra23 and Dele share their views on Chelsea's penalty incident between Palmer, Jackson and Madueke pic.twitter.com/LrIz44Z27K— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) April 15, 2024 Cole Palmer stole the show with FOUR goals to move joint top in the Golden Boot race. But his last strike in the 6-0 win, a 64th-minute penalty, came after a bust-up between Chelsea stars. He had already scored a perfect 16-minute hat-trick when a spot-kick was given after he was clipped. Madueke battled Jackson AND Palmer for the penalty. Once the penalty was given, Madueke stormed over to Malo Gusto to rip the ball from his hands before starting his row with Jackson. Thiago Silva tried to calm the pair before captain Conor Gallagher snatched the ball off Madueke, with both the skipper and Palmer shoving Jackson away. Pochettino said: “It’s a shame. “I told the players [in the dressing room] we can’t behave in this way. I told them this is the last time I will accept this type of behaviour. BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKER “They’re all involved in this situation, next time they’re all out. This is not a joke. “It’s impossible after a performance like this to see this type of behaviour. “If we want to be a great team, fighting for big things, we need to change and think more in a collective way. “I made clear to them, and now through the media, and I say to our fans and to everyone, Cole Palmer is the penalty taker. And it’s now his choice if he wants to give the ball to another player but not in this way. “It’s very sad and I don’t want it to happen again. We behaved like kids.” When asked if the row – which appeared to continue to simmer after the final whistle – will affect his selection for Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Man City at Wembley, Poch added: “No, no. It does not work like this. “They are not experienced players that really know what they are doing. They are young. They are kids. “They need to experience some situations to learn. GettyNicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke argued over who would take the spot-kick[/caption] GettyPoch confirmed Cole Palmer as his No1 penalty taker after the 6-0 win against Everton[/caption] “We are like in a school. We need to show that they were wrong, now they need to learn. “If they don’t learn, yes we will take some decision. “Now it is about learning, using this experience to move on.” The bust-up took the gloss off of Palmer’s stunning show at Stamford Bridge. Palmer is level with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland on 20 Prem strikes this term. It gives England boss Gareth Southgate a big nudge ahead of the Euros with Three Lions assistant, Steve Holland, watching in the stands. Palmer said: “It all happens so fast. We started well and I scored another hat-trick – buzzing. The team needed that after Sunday, but we did well tonight.” Everton defender James Tarkowski said: “It’s the most embarrassed I’ve ever felt as an individual as a footballer. It’s on us as players, we need to go out and perform and we didn’t.” Furious Toffees boss Sean Dyche added: “A horrid night without a doubt. “You can’t give away soft goals like that. They’re dancing around us.”
