After being intercepted by the Israeli navy, several boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla made their way to Israel’s Ashdod port on Thursday, flying Palestinian flags. At least 40 vessels from the flotilla have been intercepted, according to Israel, and those aboard have been detained.

Nicole Kidman was pictured jumping for joy as she left her attorney’s office when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced in 2001.
When she broke the news of her divorce from Keith Urban, she cut a different figure in 2025. After three months of living apart, Nicole, 58, discovered that she had filed divorce papers against her 57-year-old husband, a country singer from New Zealand. Keith allegedly broke up with them and left their Nashville home without a trace.
According to sources, the breakdown was “inevitable,” and initially appeared to be peaceful and untangled. Recently, new allegations have emerged that Nicole, who has daughters Faith and Faith together and Keith, was “blindsided” by the development.
Just a day after the breakdown of their marriage came to light, the Australian actress was photographed on a walk with her sister, Antonia, in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday. In photos obtained by Mail Online, Nicole was seen sporting grey and black active wear while donning a cap and sunglasses, as she appeared to “take control and action”, body language expert Judi James told the Mirror.

This is radically different from Nicole’s divorce from Tom Cruise. The actress was photographed leaping up in joy and happiness as she left her lawyer’s office after 11 years of the A-list couple’s union.
Judi compared Nicole’s “announcement” gestures to those in her divorce from Tom Cruise, which both appeared overdone, incongruent, and overtly dramatic. The actress also flung her head back in what appeared to be a rather naive attempt to appear very happy divorcee while her hands were spread out in what appeared to be body language of relief and celebration.
“But her mouth was open and her eyes were forced shut, which appeared to be a pain response, similar to an open-mouthed look and an eye squint that might indicate agony rather than ecstasy. “
The expert continued, “It made her ‘celebration’ appear to be a rather strange and lonely ritual, and it also lacked the quiet, PR-driven dignity that Hollywood is typically known for. “
Judi noted in examining the image of Nicole from her Wednesday outing with her sister that Nicole is “taking control” of her grief and that even though she may be “innocent” in everything, she has a plan for her retaliation. She stated, “Nicole’s present-day rituals after her split from Keith were revealed, do, however, appear to have some fundamental similarities. She has made herself very visible, but this time around, her sister appears to be sharing her thoughts with her.
She indicates that there are many thoughts to share, though. Her extremely upbeat hand gestures appear to be talking about the end of her marriage with some degree of surprise or disbelief rather than a whooping of joy and relief. “
However, she added that the actress has a plan for handling the divorce: “The sportswear and the way she’s striding out here seem to be an important message for Nicole to suggest she’s taking control and taking action rather than sitting indoors crying over a tub of Ben and Jerry’s,” but she went further. Her ‘celebratory’ pose post-Tom, where she spreads her arms out, appears passably similar, but here she has her hands in a palms-up reveal, which suggests she is looking into what transpired and what went wrong.
Singapore Grand Prix
Championship leader Oscar Piastri says he learned “lessons on risk” for the rest of the season after his poor weekend at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The Australian McLaren driver crashed out of the race in Baku on the first lap after jumping the start and falling to the back. He had also crashed in qualifying and practice.
Piastri’s team-mate Lando Norris narrowed his deficit in the title chase to 25 points, and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is 69 points off the lead heading into this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix after winning the past two races.
Piastri said: “We don’t want to have weekends like Baku and we know we can’t afford to have weekends like Baku.
“Certainly from my side of things there was some tough lessons to take but I think as a team we kind of recognised a few opportunities from the weekend to try and improve. So that’s always an important thing.
Piastri said he had “tried too hard” in Baku qualifying and that for his accident in the race it was “difficult to kind of remove immediately what went on at the start”.
He added: “There’s some lessons about how I can deal with that better and just lessons on risk I guess is the best way to put it. There’s nothing revolutionary that I think needs to change or that I am going to change.
Norris said that Verstappen is “genuinely a challenger” for the championship with seven races to go, reiterating a view McLaren team principal Andrea Stella expressed in Baku.
The Dutchman’s victory two weeks ago was his fourth of the season, while Piastri has won seven and Norris five.
Norris said Verstappen had always been a bigger threat to McLaren than was generally perceived.
The Briton said: “If you go back to the beginning of the season, they were challenging the first six, seven races, challenging us in the drivers’, and then we brought some upgrades, improved a little bit.
“A couple of races ago, they brought some upgrades and it seems like that’s kind of put them back on the same level as us.
“We’re still expecting and we still come into every race with the ambition and with the goal of winning and wanting to dominate as a team and continue the form that we’ve had all season.
“Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull certainly over the last few weekends have been closer, so we expect battles, especially with them.”
Verstappen, who has never won in Singapore, said: “From my side, honestly, I just see it as a race by race thing. Sixty-nine points is still a lot, especially if you look at how the season has gone so far.
“McLaren has been incredibly dominant, that doesn’t suddenly change. So for me, I’m not too stressed about anything.”
Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton races for the first time since the death of his bulldog Roscoe last weekend.
The seven-time champion said it was “quite overwhelming to see just how many people Roscoe touched around the world.”
He added that he had received “lots of messages” which was “really heartwarming”.
Hamilton said: “I’ve not been able to reply to everybody. It was the most important thing in my life. So it was a very difficult experience.

For years, I’ve been loyal to my trusty four-wheel suitcase; it’s reliable, sturdy and easy to use. However, after seeing and testing out Antler’s new Discovery 45L Backpack, I’m officially converted.
Designed as a hybrid between a backpack and a cabin case, this clever new launch makes travelling easier, lighter and way more flexible. It’s the ideal purchase for those who want the space and size of a suitcase, without the hassle of wheeling one around.
Whether you’re running for your flight through the airport, hopping on a train or even just on your morning commute, this lightweight backpack is a game-changer.
It’s practical without feeling too bulky, sleek and smart-looking enough to carry around on a city break, and durable enough for an outdoorsy holiday. Essentially, it’s a bag that does it all, and I can see it becoming my go-to for everything from weekends away to long-haul travel.

The backpack features fully adjustable straps and a supportive chest strap, ensuring the bag feels extra secure and helping even out the weight off your lower back. At £160, it’s on the pricier side for a backpack, but given that it essentially doubles up as a cabin suitcase and a backpack, I think the price is pretty fair.
Alongside the roomy interior (that opens up like a suitcase), it has a few clever extras, such as a large front pocket, quick-access side pockets, and hidden compartments for strap storage.
It’s fairly large, measuring 55 x 35 x 24 cm, which is the right size to fit the requirements of a paid cabin suitcase on airlines such as Jet2 and British Airways. However, it could easily work as a commuter backpack thanks to the padded laptop sleeve that fits extra-large laptops.
Thanks to the water-repellent, durable fabric, this backpack feels made for adventure holidays and outdoorsy trips. I’ve got a visit to the New Forest and Lake District coming up, and I can already tell this bag will be perfect for it. However, I can also see myself ditching my suitcase for this backpack altogether, even on longer trips.
In August, I travelled to Indonesia and Singapore with just a small backpack and a cabin suitcase. The suitcase ended up being more of a hassle than help. The carpeted terminals in Singapore made dragging it around almost impossible, and with short layovers, I needed to move quickly, which the suitcase definitely slowed down.
Of course, there will be times when a backpack won’t always cut it, and for those who struggle to carry around weight or need extra back support, it may not be the right choice.
However, this new Antler backpack feels like the solution to my suitcase struggles: lightweight, practical, and made for those on the go.
If you’re after some more affordable alternatives, the Large Roadseeker Backpack from Samsonite, priced at £105, offers similar space to a suitcase and the hands-free movement of a backpack.
After reaching the final of the Harare-based African qualifying tournament, Namibia and Zimbabwe have secured their spots at the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup.
In their semi-final, Namibia defeated Tanzania by 63 runs to reach the finals for the fourth time in a row.
In a first-ever qualifying match since 2022, Zimbabwe triumphed by seven wickets over Kenya.
Rakep Patel’s innings, which started with 65 from 47 balls, gave Kenya the lead, which ended with 122-6.
With five overs to spare, the Chevrons chased down their target and were top of the ball with 51 off 25.
Both sides are aware that they will travel to India and Sri Lanka next year, so Namibia and Zimbabwe will meet in the final match on Saturday.
Namibia had lost to Tanzania in the opening game by a score of 41-4, but the Eagles posted a score of 174-6 thanks to a 88-run partnership between captain Gerhard Erasmus (55 off 41) and JJ Smit (61 not out of 43).
Smit then recorded 3-16, and Ben Shikongo 3-21, helping to impose a 111-8 victory on the East Africans.
Before going out in the Super 12s, Namibia defeated the Netherlands, Ireland, and Scotland in their T20 World Cup debut against the UAE and Oman in 2021.
However, the team was unable to advance past the tournament’s 2022 and 2024 group stages.
