Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

This morning, you’ll start to feel good. Don’t make a rushy celebration, though, because fortune can change quickly. Remain abreast of this extraordinary streak of good fortune but don’t make long-term plans. Focus on soaking up the present, particularly this afternoon.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

You are constantly sensitive to things. Take advantage of this opportunity to feel your emotions in their raw form.

Focus on your own improvement and research the causes of your worries to bring about lasting peace and prosperity.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

Passenger train derails in Germany, killing three and injuring dozens

By in News, World News

According to officials, a passenger train carrying 100 people slammed in Germany, causing the death of at least three people and injuring dozens more.

In western Baden-Wurttemberg state, which is roughly 158 kilometers (98 miles) west of Munich, the crash occurred on Sunday evening in a forested area close to the town of Riedlingen.

The train driver and an employee of Germany’s state-owned rail company, Deutsche Bahn, were among the three victims, according to district fire chief Charlotte Ziller.

She claimed that 25 of the 50 people involved in the collision suffered serious injuries.

Two train carriages “deadly confirmed” and sustained numerous injuries, according to Deutsche Bahn, who confirmed the deaths and injuries.

The operator claimed that traffic had been suspended along a 40km (25-mile) stretch of the route because authorities were currently looking into the circumstances surrounding the accident.

According to Thomas Strobl, the state’s interior minister in Baden-Wurttemberg, severe storms had already swept the area and that investigation is being conducted into whether the rains had caused the accident.

He claimed that because there have been heavy rains here, it is possible that a landslide accident and the heavy rain have caused the incident. However, this is currently the subject of ongoing inquiries.

When it derailed, the train was going from Sigmaringen to Ulm.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed his condolences to the victims’ families in a social media post.

He continued, adding that he had been in contact with both the ministers of transportation and the interior, asking them to “ask them for support wherever they may be.”

As firefighters and emergency services attempted to reach the passengers, footage from the accident scene showed yellow and grey train carriages lying on their sides.

Shortly after the accident, emergency doctors from nearby hospitals were called, according to the local television station SWR.

Deutsche Bahn’s CEO, Richard Lutz, announced a Monday visit to the accident scene.

He thanked all the emergency services and volunteers on the scene and expressed how deeply shocked and outraged the driver was by the accident.

“My condolences and my sincere sympathies extend to the deceased’s family.” He continued, “I wish the injured a quick and painless recovery.”

According to the official DPA news agency, the rail operator has established a free special hotline for those affected and their families. Travelers and employees who are affected by the situation can also get emergency chaplains and psychologists, the statement continued.

Travelers frequently experience delays in trains and other technical issues while traveling in Germany due to its outdated infrastructure.

Over the next few years, the government has pledged to invest several billion euros, particularly in infrastructure modernization.

Four people were killed and dozens injured when a train derailed in southern Germany near a Bavarian Alpine resort in June 2022.

In Eschede, Lower Saxony, a high-speed train operated by the state-owned Deutsche Bahn derailed in 1998, killing 101 people. It was Germany’s deadliest rail accident.

‘Tough times don’t last’ – Kelly and Hampton shine after adversity

It was not so long ago that Chloe Kelly was considering taking a break from football and Hannah Hampton had been dropped from the England squad.

How things change. Now the pair have been heralded as England’s Euro 2025 heroines as the Lionesses beat Spain in a penalty shootout to retain their title.

Kelly, subbed on in the 40th minute for Lauren James, provided the inch-perfect cross for Alessia Russo’s equaliser.

Hampton made a string of crucial saves during the game before denying both Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati in the penalty shootout – allowing Kelly to smash home the winning spot-kick to send England fans into pandemonium.

“I was adamant I wasn’t missing two on the bounce,” said Kelly, who had drilled home the rebound after her penalty was saved in their semi-final win over Italy.

“I was cool, I was composed. I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. I don’t miss penalties twice.”

England boss Sarina Wiegman said it was “a bit like a fairytale” for Hampton to make two shootout saves in the final.

The 24-year-old was the focus of attention from the first minute in Switzerland, stepping up as England’s first-choice keeper following Mary Earps’ retirement five weeks earlier.

“Hannah Hampton has been put in the spotlight. Has she stood up, has she stood tall? The biggest of big,” said former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis on BBC One.

‘Tough times don’t last’

Seven months ago, things were looking very different for Kelly.

The 27-year-old was fearing for her place in England’s Euros squad following a difficult start to the season with Manchester City, where she made just one Women’s Super League (WSL) start in the first four months of the campaign.

But after a toxic stand-off with the club, Kelly signed for Arsenal on loan in January, and made her move permanent in July.

The winger has not only “refound her smile”, but has won the Women’s Champions League with the Gunners and helped England win another Euros – scoring the decisive goal in the final once again.

“If that’s a story to tell someone maybe experiencing something the same – tough times don’t last,” Kelly said.

“Just around the corner was a Champions League final, won that, and now a Euros final, won that.”

Kelly has had to settle for a place on the bench in Switzerland, but every time she has come on she has made a difference for England.

Against Sweden, she provided the assist to kickstart a comeback before scoring in the shootout.

In the semi-final victory over Italy, it was Kelly’s goal that sealed England’s place in the final with just one minute of extra time to spare.

“Thank you to everyone who wrote me off – I’m grateful,” Kelly said in a media conference after the final.

‘A lot more to come’ from Hampton

Hampton, who has been playing her first major tournament as England’s first-choice goalkeeper, had big shoes to fill in Switzerland.

Earps – twice named as the best women’s goalkeeper in the world – had played significant roles in England’s victory at Euro 2022 and on the way to the 2023 World Cup final.

But Hampton, who looked likely to start at the Euros even before Earps’ retirement, has proved she deserves the number one shirt.

“At the start of the tournament did you think Hannah Hampton would be the star? Perhaps not. You wondered how she was going to do,” ex-Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha said.

“Look how well she has done on the biggest stage. To save those penalties – and these were really good saves. She backed herself 100%.

“An amazing moment to see her be that important to the team.”

Just months after England’s Euro triumph in 2022, Hampton was dropped from the squad.

Reports suggested it was because of her behaviour, and she had to wait until March 2023 for a recall, when Wiegman said Hampton had “sorted out personal issues”.

Speaking to BBC One following her shootout heroics in the 2025 final, Hampton said: “All I can really say is thank you to Sarina [Wiegman] for all the belief and faith that she’s had in me.

“She knew what I was capable of and she really put that in me to really go and showcase what I can do.”

Hampton, who helped Chelsea win a domestic treble this season, has shown exactly what she is capable of throughout the tournament.

After losing their opening game against France, Hampton was instrumental in helping England bounce back against the Netherlands – with a sublime defence-splitting pass starting the attack for England’s first goal and setting the tempo for a statement 4-0 performance.

Then, in their quarter-final against Sweden, she pulled off two brilliant saves in the shootout to help keep England’s title defence alive.

“The girls have run around for 120 minutes, so the least I can do is save a couple of pens here and there and help the team out in any way I can,” Hampton told BBC Radio 5 Live after the final.

The One Show’s Alex Jones had ‘no idea’ about the complaints made against Jermaine Jenas

By in Entertainment News, News

Alex Jones, a presenter for the One Show, claimed she had no idea what to do with the complaints about Jermaine Jenas’ ex-co-host.

The One Show presenter Alex Jones said she had ‘no idea’ about the complaints made against her former co-host Jermaine Jenas. The former footballer, 42, who presented alongside Alex on the programme for four years, was dismissed from the BBC last August due to improper conduct.

Former Match of the Day star Jermaine admitted to sending lewd messages to two former colleagues at the BBC. In addition to losing his BBC role, the former England midfielder saw his representation with a talent agency terminated. His 14-year marriage to Ellie Penfold also ended as their separation was publicly acknowledged in March.

Welsh presenter Alex revealed in a new interview that she had no idea what the complaints were until Jermaine left the company.

The 48-year-old said, “I very much take people on their faces.” However, I wasn’t sure what was happening with JJ [Jenas]. I was unsure. I assumed he was taking a long vacation.

The BBC didn’t reveal what was happening until it was actually handled by them. And they certainly did what they believed to be right.

“I hope whatever company she was working for would deal with it quickly as well if that was my daughter and she felt uncomfortable with someone’s behavior.”

Former Chelsea players Carlton Cole, Joe Cole, and Wayne Bridge spoke on The Dressing Room podcast and discussed the differences between football and television.

He unfilteredly discussed the competitive nature of the television industry, revealing how frequent gossiping and backstabbing are.

The actor claimed that he first saw this while working with various stand-in presenters on The One Show. He explained (via Wales Online) that “television is not like]football], they just talk behind your back.

“Everyone in television would just lie in your face,” he said. When I was the show’s main presenter, I collaborated with various female presenters when Alex Jones would sometimes not be available because she was having children.

We would leave and say, “Oh, did you like her JJ,” and I’d say, “Yes, she’s really good, it’s her first time, she’s done really well.” And then I’d just hear them saying, “Yes, she’s not coming back,” and they were gone. “

He apologized and said he had done nothing illegal and that inappropriate messages had been sent between two consenting adults after being fired from the BBC.

Months later, Jenas’ wife, Ellie Penfold, announced the couple had split up after 16 years together. She said on Instagram: “I never imagined I would have to share something so personal with the public, but given the situation, I feel it’s necessary.

Jermaine and I have decided to end our relationship after 16 years of marriage and raising four wonderful kids. We’ll continue to be friends and co-parent.

The full transcript of Alex Jones’ interview can be found in the Big Issue, which is currently available for purchase.
