As people gathered to celebrate Martyrs’ Day in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, two suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels, including a female suicide bomber, were killed in an explosion close to a well-known Catholic shrine.
The Munyonyo Martyrs’ Shrine, where Ugandans were gathered to honor the 19th-century Christians who had been convicted of their faith, was the scene of the explosion on Tuesday in the upscale suburb of Munyonyo. No reports of injuries to civilians.
According to army spokesman Chris Magezi on X, “a counterterrorism unit intercepted and neutralized two armed terrorists in Munyonyo this morning.” He confirmed that a female suicide bomber was one of the assailants and was “laden with powerful explosives.”
A destroyed motorcycle and debris were seen in footage captured by an independent outlet called NBS Television. The explosion occurred while “two people were riding,” according to police chief Abas Byakagaba, adding, “The good thing is that there were no people who were hurt in the vicinity.”
No immediate responsibility claims have been made.
Magezi suggested that the suspects were connected to the ADF, a rebel group that was established in Uganda in the 1990s but later moved to the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, despite Ugandan authorities’ efforts to piece together the details.
The ADF is associated with ISIL (ISIS) and is responsible for a number of deadly bombings in Uganda in 2021.
The UN has accused the organization of carrying out numerous atrocities, including the massacre of tens of thousands of people in the area.
Gus Coral, a photographer who had a penniless band on a trip to the moon, took hundreds of candid photos six decades ago. The band are now world-renowned, and previously unreleased photos are available for viewing in a new exhibition.

More than 60 years ago, photographer Gus Coral discovered a treasure trove of previously unreleased images of The Rolling Stones.
100 candid photos will go on display in London from Friday, June 6th, in a new exhibition, Rolling Stones Unseen ’63, which will undoubtedly appeal to rockers fans.
The Stones’ first ever UK tour, which was captured by photographer Gus Coral in 1963, is depicted in the 1963 photos.
When Gus, a now-87-year-old man from Camden, North London, first met the then-poverniless blues loving band, who played as Little Richard’s band’s support act, Bo Diddley and The Everly Brothers, he was just 26.
Gus tells The Mirror: “I have almost 200 hundred images of The Stones in total which I took after I was invited to photograph them on their first British tour.

The majority of these photos have never been seen before because they have been hidden under my bed for so long, aside from a few that I have shown to some friends over the years.
One of my children once said, “Shouldn’t you be doing something with those? “, she said. “It was only thanks to that.” that this exhibit was created.
“So we are,” the statement read. 100 photos will be on display at the opening of the exhibition, and I’m looking forward to seeing them in public.
Some people have questioned why I’ve been holding onto them for so long, but my philosophy is that I wanted to take pictures that would be significant in the future and that would have a historical significance.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts’ first UK tour, which included stops in Cardiff, Watford, Southend-on-Sea, Hanley, Wolverhampton, and Cheltenham, were captured in Gus’ black and white images.
The Stones played two 10-minute sets at each venue, and Sharon Osbourne’s late father, music legend Don Arden, organized and promoted the tour, which gained them exposure and helped them become household names.
According to Gus, “I met The Stones through my friend, filmmaker Dick Fontaine, who worked for ABC Television at the time.” We had seen The Stones perform at the band’s home venue at The Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, west London.
Dick wanted to try to persuade ABC to produce a television series with them because he thought they were really talented. He already had a strong track record, having already filmed The Beatles.

The closest we could have caught them was in Cardiff. I believe Cardiff was the location of their second national tour. We left then off.
However, access to them was simple at the time. No press, “access all areas” passes required, and everything else, we just entered the theater.
“We went to meet them there after the guy on the Capitol Theatre’s stage door told us they were in the cafe around the corne. And then there was the show, where I had full access to the backstage camera; no other photographers were present.

The band’s debut single, a cover of Chuck Berry’s Come On, reached number 21 on the UK chart at the conclusion of their 30-date tour, indicating Gus that The Stones were on the verge of greatness.
“I was 26 when I took those photos,” I said. Possibly ten years older than them, perhaps. However, these photos show a very young The Stones. Gus chuckles, “So did I then,”
In these images, Mick Jagger appears to have a baby face, but it was all there. Like the seeds of who he was, you know. They were a blues band at the time. I was a real fan, and it wasn’t rock n roll. I kind of felt the blues’ energy strike me.
They contacted me after I took their photos in Cardiff to visit their studio in Holborn, central London, to record with them.

Just two two years later, in 1965, the The Stones took the music world by storm with (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, penned by Jagger and Richards, gave the band their first number one in the UK and the US.
The Stones are still rocking despite having sold 250 million albums worldwide and amassing $2.9 billion in ticket sales for the duration of their 63-year career.
And Mick, 81, Keith Richards, 81, and Ronnie Wood, 78, are back in London recording the follow-up to their 2023 studio album, Hackney Diamonds.
Nobody could have predicted how big they would have become, Gus says. “I knew they would make it.” Mick Jagger had great energy when The Stones had no money when I photographed the band in 1963.

“They are amazing that they are still going, as it is difficult to tour.” But I suppose Mick is the only one to blame. He has always been a fantastic figure. Without him, things wouldn’t have gone as planned.
Gus continues, “These photographs have been a closely guarded secret for over 60 years, seen only by a few people, and] I’m excited about transferring my exhibition to New York.”

Raw and ambitious, they “capture The Rolling Stones in a way unlike any other.” I’m thrilled to finally let everyone know about them.
• From Friday (June 6) through September 10th, the Rolling Stones Unseen ’63 exhibition will be on display at Dockside Vaults in London’s St. Katharine Docks.

Suzanne Shaw addressed her late father’s passing in 2012 on Vanessa Feltz’s 5 talk show this week about inheritance.
A former Emmerdale cast member has shared that they are estranged from some of their family following a “divide” over inheritance. The actor said this week that the apparent situation following the death of their father is “sad”.
Suzanne Shaw, now 43 – who played Eve Jenson on the ITV soap opera – lost her late father Vincent Crowshaw, who was 62, back in 2012. Vincent died just months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier that same year.
After ten years, Suzanne, who became famous as a member of the group Hear ‘Say, has claimed that she inherited “nothing” from him after his passing. She suggested that her step-mother received the majority of the inheritance.
Suzanne mentioned her late father whilst a guest on 5’s Vanessa yesterday afternoon. It came during a discussion, led by host Vanessa Feltz, 63, over whether children should receive the same inheritance in the case of a parent dying.
Vanessa explained to her audience throughout the segment that she knows of people who were “passed over” in a will. She claimed that it was because their siblings weren’t perceived as financially “set up for life,” but rather because they were.

Vanessa said, “It’s not that they really needed the money, but they did.” In a statement about those who didn’t receive the inheritance. Much more of the experience was that of being slapped in the face. a sense of being “given a blow from the grave,” in some ways.
Suzanne, who previously said that “communication is essential” and that “communication before it all happens” responded to host Vanessa by saying, “I went through it myself.” She continued, “My dad passed away very sadly.”
Then, she explained that her father had reconciled with Janet Kish, her mother, and that he had already died. A divided family, according to Suzanne. He got married again.

Suzanne continued, “My brother received some money, but his business was not what he received. The remainder was supposed to be distributed equally among my stepmum, but then she received all of it. She has since remarried. She has had no access to the family’s affairs. None of it helped me in any way. I am aware of how it feels.
Suzanne responded with a statement about how it feels. It’s like getting a slap in the face, she said. You seem to have been forgotten about in that circumstance. So, yes, I am aware of how it feels. It’s hard”.
Suzanne continued, “But what it causes is divide, and y’know we don’t no longer speak to those people who were a big part of our lives, and that’s sad. But it’s now estranged from some of her family.” That is already depressing. Therefore, I believe communication is essential in this circumstance.
Monday through Monday, from noon until midnight, Vanessa airs.

Speaking about the sale, Erin Baker, editorial director at Auto Trader, told PA: “Cars listed by music legends don’t come around very often, and Noel Gallagher’s Bentley Turbo R is certainly one for the Auto Trader history books.”
They teased that it’s expected to attract attention. Erin told the outlet: “With over 80 million visits to Auto Trader every month, we expect this rock ‘n’ roll ride to strike a chord with music lovers and car collectors alike.”
The car has the number plate ‘OASI6 2’. It’s in reference to the Britpop band Oasis, which was formed by the likes of Noel’s brother Liam Gallagher in 1991.

Noel has previously spoken about having once learned to drive. He spoke about his experience to Zoe Ball whilst a guest on her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show two years ago.
Speaking about his driving lesson in the 1990s, he said in 2023: “I have had one driving lesson in the 90s and I was driving round a housing estate in Slough and [the instructor] said to me, ‘if you just indicate and pull over here’ then I pulled over.”
He shared: “She got out the car she said, ‘I’ll be back in a minute’, she came out with her mum, she drove me to her house. Then the local comprehensive bell went and they all came out. This is at the height of Oasis-mania and I was like, ‘never, never again’.”
As previously reported, Noel said on the radio show that he had been learning in a red Nissan Micra at the time. He recalled the vehicle having a “great big triangle on the top of it with an L”.

In the state’s renowned Mushin district, additional personnel has been dispatched by the Lagos State Police Command.
Members of the Mushin community have raised concerns about the recent incidents of daylight assaults, harassment, and stealing from shops and innocent people from the streets of Mushin by teenage miscreants and hoodlums, according to the Lagos State Police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin.
Hundeyin asserts that the area was invaded by street advocates who ranged in age from 14 to 16 years old.
These reports provide a thorough analysis of our operational tactics and strategies. Olohundare Jimoh, the commissioner of police for Lagos State, has immediately dispatched more police tactical squads, Police Mobile Force (PMF) personnel, and other conventional police teams to Mushin and the surrounding areas to investigate these miscreants’ activities, arrest them, and bring them to justice, according to the spokesman.
Residents are encouraged to go about their lawful business and other activities without fear or apprehension, and normalcy has been completely restored to Mushin and all other affected areas, according to him.

The Commissioner of Police has also given the Area Commander in Mushin a mandate to meet with the two local government chairmen who cover the entire region to plan actions to further enhance security and safety for the residents and traders in general.
In addition, the command has raided criminal hideouts and discovered black areas in Ishaga, Awolowo, and Ojuwoye markets where 23 of the alleged attackers are detained for allegedly stealing from shops and innocent people in the Mushin area.
The suspects are currently being looked into and will be charged soon.
These operational raids will continue until the area is completely rid of these miscreants and hoodlums.
Apparently, Bruno Fernandes chose to join Ruben Amorim’s rebuild at Old Trafford instead of accept a sizable offer to leave Manchester United for the Saudi Pro League.
Al Hilal reportedly offered United up to $ 100 million ($135 million) for the 30-year-old Portugal international, but they had not yet made an official approach.
United finished 15th overall, which was their worst performance of the Premier League era. Additionally, Tottenham won the Europa League championship match.
With 19 goals and 19 assists in all competitions, United captain Fernandes was one of the few players to emerge with credit after a terrible season.
After losing to Spurs last month in Bilbao, the midfielder addressed his future.
Football can sometimes be like this, he said, “But if the club thinks it’s time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever,” he said.

Manager Amorim, however, last week expressed his confidence that his countryman would continue playing at Old Trafford as speculation raged over his future.
Gary Neville, a former United captain and current Sky Sports pundit, described the development as “significant.”
You couldn’t say that it would have been a bad deal, he said, “I think there was a component of this situation that meant United getting that level of money, obviously, for someone of Bruno’s age.”
“On the other hand, Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester United’s star player for the past four, five, and six years, and that’s just one player.” He is very significant.
Neville continued, “To turn that money down at a time when Manchester United is at their lowest ebb and say, “No, I want to fight through this, I want to see it through the other side, I want to come out and achieve things,” I think it says a lot about him as a person and as a character.
The club needs “people who are going to run through a brick wall for them,” the club says.
As Amorim revamps his underperforming squad, United are expected to be busy in the transfer market.
The club has already signed Brazilian international Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford and Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho might make the trip.
Since making a £47 million move from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, Fernandes has started 290 games and scored 98 goals for United.
