Armed with banners that read “If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax,” an estimated 700 demonstrators gathered at Santa Lucia train station.

The No Space For Bezos group is alleged to have organized the demonstration. A few group members were spotted carrying Amazon boxes with the words “ordered, shipped, delivered, rejected” written on them.

We would hazard a guess that there isn’t a wardrobe in the world that doesn’t contain at least one pair of jeans. A great pair of denim is one of the most versatile and easy to style pieces anyone can own, especially when you find the perfect fit and shape for your body.

However, finding great denim can be challenging, which is why we always enjoy hearing someone’s recommendation for a pair. We were immediately drawn to Vogue Williams’s pair of barrel leg jeans, which are the most popular style of the summer.

This one style of wellies is worn by all of Glastonbury’s best-dressed celebrities.

Vogue showed off her flattering Barrel Leg Jeans as she prepared to leave for a day of filming in Saint and Sofia, where they cost £159. When she examined her outfit details, she noted that she also owned other Saint and Sofia items and that it was “such a lovely brand.”

Barrel leg jeans rose to prominence earlier this year as the most popular denim style due to the rise of the cowboy core trend, but they’ve since become one of the most flattering fits for all body types. You can wear them with anything from fitted bodysuits and heels to a straightforward T-shirt and trainers thanks to the barrel leg’s edgy, defined silhouette that elevates it from a regular wide leg.

Made in Europe, the Saint and Sofia pair was created in London using 100% organic cotton. With a 27 inch inseam, giving them a slightly cropped length, they have a traditional barrel shape that fits around the waist and hips, flares around the thigh and knees, and nips back in at the ankle.

Ukraine F-16 pilot killed repelling massive Russian air attack

The air force of the war-torn nation claims that Ukraine has resisted a Russian missile and drone strike while losing its F-16 fighter jet and pilot.

The plane was damaged and lost altitude overnight after being shot down seven airs, according to a statement from the Ukrainian military.

A First-class pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Maksym Ustimenko, died on an F-16 aircraft this evening while retaliating a massive enemy air attack, according to the statement.

Russia reportedly launched 537 projectiles against Ukraine, including Shahed drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, according to an additional statement from the air force. 475 of them were claimed to have been intercepted in Ukraine.

The sound of explosions and strikes was reported in several areas of Ukraine, including southern Mykolaiv, southeast Zaporizhia, and western Lviv, according to the Kyiv Independent newspaper.

At least six people were hurt and damaged in the attacks, according to Ihor Taburets, the governor of the Cherkasy region in central Ukraine. He claimed that the attack damaged three multistory buildings and a college.

According to officials, the southern Ukrainian regions of Mykolaiv and the central region of Dnipropetrovsk were hit by industrial facilities. Rescuers evacuating people and charred walls and cracked windows were captured on local authorities’ websites.

In Kursk and Rostov, along with the annexed Crimean Peninsula in Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense reported that its forces had destroyed three Ukrainian drones in Russia.

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, said on Friday that he planned to reduce military spending and that he was prepared for a new round of peace talks with Ukraine, which is the latest example of violence.

Moscow and Kyiv have twice sent delegations to Istanbul for peace talks in recent months, but neither have brought an end to the conflict, which first broke out after Russia invaded its neighbor more than three years ago.

Gauff and Sabalenka team up in viral TikTok dance before Wimbledon

The two tennis stars danced together at Wimbledon and shared videos on social media just in case anyone ever wondered whether Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka had any lingering animosity after their French Open final.

The two tennis players had more to say about the aftermath of Sabalenka’s comments right after the final, when she claimed that her loss had more to do with her own mistakes than Gauff’s performance, on Saturday after dancing together on the&nbsp, Centre Court.

The Belarusian later admitted that her remarks were “unprofessional,” but not before receiving a lot of negative feedback from fans and media, especially in the United States.

Below a clip of the duo performing their moves on the Centre Court grass to the strains of C+C Music Factory’s 1990 hit Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now), Sabalenka wrote on her Instagram feed that “TikTok dances always had a way of bringing people together.”

Gauff, a frequent user of TikTok, recorded a video of the pair clapping along to a track and saying, “OK, guys, we’re back.” How did you feel about us? We missed you, “

The olive branch was accepted and extended! You guys should be as good as we are, she wrote.

“Hakuna Matata, enjoy yourself.”

Gauff now hopes everyone else can forget what the top-ranked Sabalenka said as Wimbledon draws near to a close.

Gauff, who begins her Wimbledon match against Dayana Yastremska on Tuesday, said, “I’m not the person who will fuel hate in the world.” “I believe people were going too far,” he said, “It was just really targeting and saying a lot of things that I thought were offensive.” That wasn’t going to be fuelled further by me.

On Monday, Sabalenka, who faces Carson Branstine in court number one, said she hopes the TikTok video shows that everything is well with the two.

The three-time major winner said, “We are good, we are friends.” “I hope the US media can be gentle with me at this moment.”

Sabalenka once more stated that she had no intention of offending Gauff.

She said, “I was just completely devastated by myself, and emotions overcame me.” “I just completely lost it,” he said.

Gauff did acknowledge that she was initially drawn to criticize Sabalenka, who claimed that the American “won the match not because she played incredible, but just because I made all of those mistakes from… easy balls.”

Gauff added that she was surprised that Sabalenka reached out to apologize a little later. The American was quick to shed any animosity once that occurred, though.

Gauff said, “I preach light and love.” No worries “in Swahili], just want us to be Kumbaya, live happily, Hakuna Matata,” and be content here.

The top two women’s players were appreciative of each other’s rekindling of friendship, according to other players.

Frances Tiafoe, who is seeded 12th in the Wimbledon men’s bracket, is pleased to see that they have changed their mind. The biggest reason is that they are the world’s top players, he said. You kind of need those relationships, then.

The American then laughed as he said, “But it wouldn’t be that bad if they were also back-and-forth.” If they kind of didn’t like each other, that kind of would be cool.

After a practice session before Wimbledon 2025, Sabalenka and Gauff dance together.

Head-to-head encounter between Gauff and Sabalenka

She lost to Gauff in Paris after losing to the American in the US Open final in 2023, and she now leads 6-5 in the standings.

When questioned about whether she would relish the chance to make amends when she defeated Gauff in the Wimbledon final, she seemed unsure.

“I don’t know, in this case, if I make it to the finals, maybe I don’t want to see Coco.” However, I’m happy because I want to get the revenge if she’s going to be there.”

Novak Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, and Sabalenka, who she claimed had a long chat with after hitting with the Serb on the grass, joined her for the final minute of her media address.

Novak calls herself “the best.” I had a chance to hit with him first. You can talk to him then. She remarked, “He will give you honest advice.” It’s amazing to hear such a legend’s opinion. We just talked about some things that are making me a little trouble [with]. He gave me some great advice, and I’m so grateful.

Brooklyn Beckham’s huge decision will impact sister Harper – who could be left ‘devastated’

As the Beckham family feud rages on, Brookelin Beckham makes a significant decision that will affect Harper greatly.

After eldest son Brookyn, 26, reportedly cut all contact with his parents and siblings due to ongoing conflict, the Beckhams have been at the center of an incredible row. Brooklyn has resisted showing up for his parties or wishing him well on social media, especially recently as he criticized his father David’s 50th birthday celebrations.

On Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, respectively, he did not mention David’s congratulations on receiving his knighthood or any social media tributes to him.

Now the chef has a big decision to make as his sister Harper’s 14 th birthday is approaching on July 10 and if he fails to acknowledge it, it could leave her “devastated”. A source told MailOnline : “Brooklyn and Harper used to be inseparable.

He adored her, and he probably does, but Brooklyn has a history of skipping birthday celebrations. Harper’s silence on him would be devastating. She is only 13 years old and hasn’t done anything.

“David and Victoria very much blame Nicola for all of this but hopefully Brooklyn will see sense. While Harper doesn’t have her own Instagram yet, the family thing is to tag her in on their posts as #harperseven,” the source concluded.

Continue reading the article.

Although it hasn’t been revealed what caused the fallout, it’s believed that Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola, 30, is to blame for his family’s decision to stop speaking to him. Brooklyn shared his wife’s support on Instagram after it was initially claimed that Nicola might be at the center of the dispute.

He posted a video on Instagram and captioned it: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.” The pair got engaged back in July 2020 before tying the knot two years later.

In honor of her father, Nelson Peltz, who also practices the faith, and his great-great-great grandfather who was Jewish, Brooklyn and Nicola were married in a Jewish ceremony in Palm Beach, Florida. Throughout the years, Nicola has become a very significant member of the family, frequently participating in family gatherings and appearing alongside the Beckhams at red carpet parties.

Brooklyn and his family have always been very close, and the family has always enjoyed taking vacations together and attending special occasions together. Notably, a video of Brooklyn surprising his father on his 43rd birthday went viral on social media in 2018.

As Brooklyn leaned in behind David and wrapped his arms around him while he was seated in a restaurant in London. The former football player embraced after realizing it was his son. Brooklyn had traveled to London to see his father on his big day while he was in New York.

As he acknowledged his grandmother Sandra’s 76th birthday earlier this week, the former photographer made it abundantly clear that he hasn’t abandoned his extended family. He exclaimed, “Happy birthday, nanny xx love you so much,” alongside a sweet photo of the two.

He and Nicola’s mother Claudia and her father Nelson have a close relationship, and he is also very much a part of her family. On his Instagram page yesterday, Brooks showed his father-in-law a very public display of support for the 83-year-old billionaire by wishing him a happy birthday.

Brooklyn and Nicola live in LA, while David, Victoria, and their children Harper, Romeo, and Cruz reside in London. If Brooklyn publicly acknowledges his sister’s birthday, or whether the family’s rift will grow, it is still unclear.
