Rudy Giuliani, a former mayor of New York City and close ally who helped to change Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to Donald Trump, president of the United States.
Giuliani is referred to as a “great patriot” by Trump in a post on his social media site Truth Social on Monday, promising to give him the country’s highest civilian award.
The PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our nation’s highest civilian award, will be presented to Rudy Giuliani, the greatest mayor in New York City’s history, and an equally outstanding American Patriot, according to Trump, president of the United States of America.
Giuliani gained popularity in US politics after leading New York City during the attacks and their aftermath. He later joined Trump’s legal team and helped spread Trump’s false accusations of significant fraud, despite his loss in the 2020 election.
A pair of Georgia election workers who claimed they received death threats after being falsely accused of helping to rig the voting process won a $ 48 million defamation judgment against him for those actions.
Following a car crash in New Hampshire on Saturday, Giuliani, 81, was taken to the hospital.
His security advisor, Michael Ragusa, who said on Monday that he would be released “soon,” claimed that he had a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations, contusions, and injuries to his left arm and leg.
Emily Atack, an actress from The Rivals and The Inbetweeners, has previously spoken out about being sexually harassed online but has also experienced other abhorrent behavior on set.
Emily Atack made a statement before she was cast in The Rumour, a new 5 drama.
After revealing that she was sexually assaulted at work, Emily Atack is calling for a change in how she behaves on television.
The Rivals and The Inbetweeners star says there is a defensiveness about the use of intimacy co-ordinators while filming, but that they are an important source of support when shooting sex and nude scenes.
Emily, 35, has previously spoken out about being sexually harassed online, and made a BBC documentary about the subject in 2023.
In Emily Atack : Asking For It? she looked into why she was harassed on social media on a daily basis and sought to understand why the blame for unwanted sexual attention is so often put on victims.
Emily Atack’s most recent TV role is in the Channel 5 drama The Rumour.
When the Radio Times asked if Emily wanted to make another documentary, Emily responded, “Yes, I want to do one on intimacy co-ordinators, and I’m going to start having conversations about it soon.
People have said, “I don’t need one, but I’ve seen people roll their eyes over them.” They feel accused of something they haven’t even done yet, which makes it defensive.
If you’re a man or a woman, intimacy co-ordinators are there to help you whenever you feel uncomfortable. Whether it was on the set or at a wrap party, I’ve experienced sexual assault at work throughout my career. And since the #MeToo movement, it demonstrates that viewers are paying attention and that set standards must change.
The mother, who gave birth to son Barney in June, will play a mother in the emotionally charged marriage drama The Rumour on Channel 5.
The series, which is based on Lesley Kara’s best-selling book, explores how one whisper about a child killer can destroy a whole town.
11 weeks after Barney’s birth, filming began in Budapest, where both her son and her partner Alistair Garner resided. The actress claims that the combination of her work and family time improved her confidence.
She says, “I loved it, despite how exhausting it was. Every day at work made me feel very happy. I’d then go downstairs to our apartment, bathe Barney, and put him to sleep. I established my ability to balance that. When you return to work, it’s the most terrifying thought for a woman.

You might say, “I don’t know how I’m going to do it all,” but I did. I was looking forward to working in the future. Additionally, having an amazing partner who is so hands-on and wonderful is a plus. Rachel Shenton, Joanne Whalley, Samuel Anderson, Ellie Haddington, and Lucy Speed are also on the series.
We had a great time, Emily says. They were talking about their own children, and the majority of them are mothers. Everyone praised one another with a lot of support. Strong, brilliant women took the helm, which was lovely. I’ll always be pushing for more.
The actress reveals that she wants to start her own TV show. She claims, “I’m a very writer. When the Rivals schedule settles down a little bit, I had a meeting with a writer I really like and who is doing very well.
“I believe we are gradually entering a time when women are permitted to be written in nuanced, interesting, and flawed ways.” Emily is currently working on the adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s 1980s bonkbuster, which will be titled “Sarah Stratton.”
She claims that now that she is 17 years old, fame feels different. Emily, who finished second overall in I’m A Celeb in 2018, says: “It was quite scary. It was amazing. It changed my life forever.”
There is “so much structure,” it says now. My entire organization is handled by a fantastic team. I’m 35 now. I have more wisdom and experience.
And she doesn’t see any reason to stop playing the roles that have earned her acclaim. Who is to say that the blonde, flirty funster must be one-dimensional if the writing is good? I am very good at it, and there is a lot of fun there. That’s a very impressive accomplishment.

Venus Williams and Leylah Fernadez reached the women’s doubles quarter-finals, continuing her incredible run at the US Open.
In 74 minutes, the American-born American and her 22-year-old Canadian partner defeated 12th-seeded Zhang Shuai and Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3 6-1 in Louis Armstrong Stadium.
The pair, who were given a wildcard in the draw, have now defeated two seeded pairs and have won three games without conceding a set.
Williams and Fernandez jumped out in the first set after being booed back by their opponents before being hauled back by their opponents, but another break gave them the opportunity to serve out for the final set.
Fernandez poaching well at the net for the American-Canadian duo, who broke Zhang once more in the third game of the second set.
Williams, a seven-time champion in singles and a 14-time Grand Slam champion in women’s doubles, will play in her 25th US Open.
Three years before Fernandez was born, she won the first of her two women’s doubles titles in New York with younger sister Serena.
In her on-court interview with Williams, Fernandez said, “Seeing you play on the same big smile you had back then is so inspirational and motivates me to keep going.” You and I both adore tennis.
Williams has reached the quarter-finals of a major for the first time since 2016 when she also won alongside Serena in a 2016 match.
When Williams asked if she had a message for her younger sibling, Williams said, “Serena, you need to show up!” She responded that she was so happy for Leylah and I because she had given us advice.
Top seeds Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend, whose third-round match had not yet begun when Williams and Fernandez left the court after signing autographs for a large number of their waiting supporters, might face them in the quarter-finals.
Premier League clubs spent more money this summer than they have ever before in a transfer window, surpassing £3 billion.
By the end of August, a total of £2.73 billion had been spent, but big-money deadline day deals, like Alexander Isak’s move from Newcastle to Liverpool for a British record £125 million, increased the total to £3.087 billion.
The spending was significantly higher than the previous summer, when top-flight teams spent £1.96 billion.
The £2.36 billion spent during the summer of 2023 was the league’s record.
What significant deals were there on the deadline day?
The major deals weren’t officially announced until after the window shut at 19:00 BST, though moves could still be completed two hours later if deal sheets were submitted in time.
Although an expected move for England defender Marc Guehi failed in the end because Crystal Palace refused to approve the move because they had trouble finding a replacement for their captain, Isak’s move was confirmed at 21:30 BST.
Newcastle made the announcement that Yoane Wissa would join them for £55 million after Isak’s departure was confirmed.
Other notable signings included Fulham’s completion of the club-record £34.6 million deal to sign Brazilian winger Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Belgian international Senne Lammens was signed for an initial sum of £18.1 million from Royal Antwerp, while Aston Villa’s Jadon Sancho signed for a season-long loan on a permanent basis. He also signed Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott on loan with a buy option.
Randal Kolo Muani, a striker for Paris St-Germain, was signed on a season-long loan deal, while Piero Hincapie was signed on a season-long loan deal by Arsenal from Bayer Leverkusen.
With the signing of Ajax players Brian Brobbey and Bertrand Traore, as well as RB Leipzig defender Lutsharel Geertruida on a season-long loan, Sunderland continued its summer of spending.
Who made the most money?
Liverpool have gone the exact opposite way this time around after barely surviving Arne Slot’s first transfer window last year.
Isak’s summer spending increased to £415 million, breaking the previous record for the amount a single club spent in a single window.
Chelsea broke the previous record for the summer of 2023 (£400m).
This is almost twice as much as the total money spent in other European leagues, not to mention that this is more than any other club in Europe.
Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart described his move on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club as “a humongous flex by Liverpool.”
“They have brought in some brilliant players, and they have made some phenomenal moves and money.”
Chelsea and Arsenal both invested a lot of money in recent years in order to strengthen their squad and increase their chances of winning the title.

How the spending in the Premier League outstrips that in other countries.
While Isak made a move between Premier League clubs, many of the major summer deals involved signings from Europe.
For instance, Liverpool signed keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for £29 million, while also signing keeper Giovanni Leoni from Parma for £26 million. Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £116 million, Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for £79 million, and Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5 million.
In addition to signing strikers Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for £73.7 million, Manchester United signed a total of £114.5 million while Sporting spent a total of £114.5 million on signings Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and Arsenal signed a total of £114.5 million.
Premier League clubs signing players from European competitions will have made a contribution to the Bundesliga, La Liga, and Ligue 1 coming out of the window with a net profit of more than £400m.
The remaining “big five” competitions are becoming feeder leagues, according to Paul MacDonald of FootballTransfers.com, “because the Premier League spending is so far ahead of the others and is so crucial to the transfer market ecosystem.”
“La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 all spent money this summer, but it was already revenue.”
Promoted clubs offer incentives to advance survival combat.
All three Championship-winning teams have immediately returned after the past two seasons.
All three newly promoted clubs have taken action to alter the outcome of the Premier League’s growing competition.
More than half of the other Premier League clubs have spent money at Sunderland, which is now back in the top flight after eight years of abstention.
Their spending total of £162 million was the eighth-highest, even surpassing that of Manchester City, despite Pep Guardiola’s side having yet to confirm a deal proposed for Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma on Monday night.
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton remarked, “In the last couple of years, the promoted clubs have gone right back.”
Sunderland have given themselves an opportunity to stay up, but I’m surprised by how much money they’ve spent.
Analysis of “Uncharted territory”
Dan Roan

@danroan
With a record six English clubs qualifying this year, the Premier League has entered uncharted territory thanks to its unprecedented level of spending, supported by record media rights deals, and the expansion of the lucrative Champions League.
More clubs have been forced to sell more players than before thanks to profit and sustainability rules (PSR), which restrict financial losses.
There are concerns about financial sustainability as well, with many of the deals being on credit and Premier League clubs already owing £3 billion in transfer instalments before this window.
Some will be alarmed by the summer’s player power and the actions of some professionals who effectively agitated for moves while going on strike.
There will also be concerns about the potential for ticket prices to rise and the growing wealth concentration at the top of the game.

Sebastian Tounekti, a winger Celtic purchased from Hammarby for an undisclosed sum, is expected to “make a big difference,” according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
The 23-year-old Norwegian-born player has played twice for his adopted nation on a five-year contract with the Scottish champions.
After 22 games with Hammarby, Tounekti only joined the Swedish top-flight team in February from Norwegian outfit Haugesund, leaving with Hammarby sitting second in the Allsvenskan.
Rodgers stated on the website that his squad would be “a really exciting addition.”
He can operate on both sides, opening up opportunities for both himself and others, according to him. Working with Sebastian is a great opportunity for both of us and our coaches.
Tounekti began his professional career with Tromsdalen in Norway before moving to Bod/Glimt, where he was loaned to Groningen.
After joining Haugesund in 2022, he also spent time on loan to Ranheim.
