Adolescence star Stephen Graham gushes over ‘rock’ wife for her support amid Netflix drama

By in Entertainment News, News

Hannah Walters, the wife of adolescence star Stephen Graham, is also known for her “rock.”

In the Netflix drama, which has received glowing reviews so far, Stephen portrays the father of a 13-year-old boy accused of murder. According to Stephen, the gritty drama was created as a response to the rising knife crime rate among teenagers in the UK. The 51-year-old actor previously stated that he typically adopts the method acting model, which requires actors to remain “in role” throughout the entire production and between scenes, which is challenging for dark dramas like Adolescence.

However, Stephen has frequently praised Hannah’s perseverance during difficult times, and was nominated for a BAFTA for his role in 2021’s Boiling Point. He claims to have been Hannah’s biggest fan from the beginning.

Stephen, who wed the actress and executive producer in 2008, said, “I watched Hannah back in the day at drama school and always thought she was brilliant.

Netflix released last week’s Netflix-produced Adolescence with Stephen Co. Critics claim that the drama’s four episodes were shot in one take, which adds to its realness.

Hannah’s most recent role in a nearly 20-year career included being one of the program’s executive producers. The actress also appeared in the crime drama Time on BBC and Boiling Part with her husband.

The 48-year-old actress, who previously served as an executive producer on the historical drama A Thousand Blows this year, is a key member of her and Tephen’s joint production company, Matriarch Productions.

Their romance first developed at Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance in Sidcup, Kent, where the couple first met while training as actors, rather than on a Hollywood set.

Their friendship grew stronger over the years, especially when they reconnected professionally in 2006 on This Is England. The couple tied the knot just two years later, on June 6, 2008, with the help of their stronger bond.

The couple, who have two children, made their home in Leicestershire’s Ibstock. Following a revamp two years ago, the showbiz pair was chosen to cut the ribbon at a recently reopened doctors’ surgery in the village.

Stephen previously described his life in Ibstock as “part of the furniture here.” I adore Ibstock’s camaraderie and sense of community. It’s a true English village. I enjoy going into Smith’s, the neighborhood butchers, because they have been around for years, and they greet me as well as treat me like they do everyone else.

Continue reading the article.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

You’re feeling conflicted, which prevents you from fully supporting others. You’re tired of passing on your best ideas without being acknowledged, despite your best efforts to impress senior colleagues. Focus on completing the task to your best advantage, and you will be recognized for it.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

It’s tempting to react when someone points a finger at you for a mistake that isn’t your fault. Don’t go overboard, even in this situation, because you could turn an adversary into a foe. It’s wise to pause and take your words seriously because this person may be a little tense right now.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Your family will also be affected by the choices you make regarding your career. You have a variety of appealing choices. As you examine them more in detail, these will become clearer. Don’t put off making the decisions that will likely help your job.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

Why would you allow a pedantic friend to add to the difficulties you are currently facing? They can be resolved quite easily. You are not required to take advice from others with good intentions. Instead, consider how you came to this point and what you can do to escape.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

Your positive outlook makes you feel as though you can accomplish anything you set out to accomplish. When a coworker attends lunch, you can convince them to back a new project. Invite a brand-new employee to your team and foster cooperation.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

You have the opportunity to showcase your abilities in a confident and composed manner. The outcomes are likely to make you happy and content. Everything seems to be working out well. Although romance and work are at the forefront of your mind, work is at the forefront.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

If you don’t put forth any effort, you can’t expect a positive outcome. Results are unlikely to come from unintended efforts without the necessary work. It’s only fair to say that those who are actively engaged and diligently working are the most likely to leave with a happy memory at the end of the day.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Someone who has been putting in no effort to make a difference in their own situation is envious of your accomplishments. They may prefer to ignore the fact that the benefits you are now starting to enjoy are the result of your efforts. They won’t ever change, despite what you might try to explain.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

When people in high positions start to notice you, it’s difficult to find any privacy. You had no idea how many private inquiries would be asked. The most annoying part is that someone may interpret what they hear or see incorrectly. Particularly those at work are susceptible to making the wrong conclusions.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

A group needs funding from you. The team needs to take a proactive approach in order to raise money for a worthwhile cause. The project’s financial goals won’t be met by simply discussing ideas. Action is necessary. Start making fundraising plans.

Continue reading the article.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

You are guided by your intuition, which enables you to discern whether a situation is changing in a positive or negative way. Today, you might notice something wrong. You should be careful with how much you say to other people because you shouldn’t share more than you should.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

It won’t last long if you’re feeling a little low. Work and family obligations can be overwhelming. If making plans that are no longer exciting you because of it, you’ll get to spend more time with people you’ve always enjoyed doing them, don’t feel bad about putting off them. Your spirits will also improve if you’re creative.

NASA astronauts stuck in space to return to Earth: All you need to know

By in News, World News

After nine months stranded in space, NASA astronauts are soon expected to be back on Earth.

The International Space Station (ISS) will depart early on Tuesday morning and is expected to splash down off the Florida coast in the evening. The astronauts were forced to spend much longer in space after their original return spacecraft, the Boeing Starliner, was deemed unsafe for the journey home.

What you need to know about their lengthy stay and return is as follows:

The two astronauts who are stranded in space are who?

Sunita “Suni” Williams, 59, and Barry “Butch” Wilmore, 61, both seasoned space travelers with experience from NASA, are the two astronauts who are stranded on the International Space Station (ISS).

Williams, a retired US Navy officer and current ISS commander, left the organization in 1998. She has completed nine spacewalks and spent 322 days in space throughout her career. Up until 2017, Peggy Whitson took the title for the most spacewalks a female astronaut had previously held.

In 2009, Wilmore took the Space Shuttle Atlantis to space. He had spent 178 days in space before the Boeing Starliner mission. He has conducted research on plant growth in space, the effects of microgravity on the human body, and environmental changes on Earth on previous ISS missions as a flight engineer and commander.

Williams was the pilot and Wilmore the commander of the Boeing mission.

When and how will they return to Earth?

After their replacements on the space station arrived on Sunday, Wilmore and Williams are expected to leave the ISS a little after 12:45 AM ET on Tuesday (04:45 GMT on Tuesday).

A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule has been docked at the station since September 2024, and they will soon be returning. With two empty seats available for Wilmore and Williams’ return, this capsule originally transported Russian astronaut Aleksandr Gorbunov and NASA astronaut Nick Hague to the ISS.

A fourth astronaut, who would be traveling with them, arrived to replace them, so the four could not go back on the same capsule.

That is now occurring. Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, both from NASA, Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Russian astronaut Kirill Peskov were on Sunday at 12:04 AM ET (04:04 GMT), and Crew ten, which docked at the ISS on Sunday. On Friday, they launched from the US’s Florida Kennedy Space Center.

Williams and Wilmore’s return negotiations started late on Monday night. Hatch closure preparations began at 10: 45pm ET (02: 45 GMT).

The astronauts’ departure and arrival via live streaming from NASA. According to NASA, the Crew Dragon capsule that will bring them back is scheduled to depart from the ISS shortly after 12:45 AM ET (04:45 GMT). Just before 6 p.m. ET (22:00 GMT), it is anticipated to swell into the Atlantic Ocean.

What caused them to be stuck?

Williams and Wilmore had to move back home as a result of technical problems with the spacecraft.

As part of its first crewed test flight, they boarded a CST-100 Starliner from Boeing and traveled to the ISS. The commercial crew program at NASA’s Commercial Crew Program aimed to create private spacecraft for carrying astronauts to and from the station. NASA has stated that it intends to concentrate on deep space exploration, including the Moon missions and upcoming human missions to Mars, by outsourcing low-Earth orbit missions.

Starliner encountered helium leaks and a malfunctioning thruster that aids in reentry during the 25-hour flight to the ISS. Four more of the 28 thrusters failed when it arrived on June 6 causing a delay in docking with the station.

Williams and Wilmore are stranded on the ISS despite engineers’ restoration of four of the five malfunctioning thrusters, but NASA decided the spacecraft was too dangerous for humans to travel on it.

NASA made the decision to reinstate them on a SpaceX vehicle in August 2024. Since the launch of the Dragon-9 on September 29, 2024, only one US astronaut has been stationed on the space station, which limits research and emergency response.

Williams and Wilmore can now finally return home with the addition of their replacement crew members on Crew 10.

The two astronauts have been in space for how long.

By the time Williams and Wilmore are back in orbit, they will have spent more than nine months there. They have been in space since June 5, 2024.

They were originally scheduled to spend just eight days in space after taking off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in June.

For astronauts, the typical ISS rotation lasts for roughly six months.

How did they endure for so long in space?

Williams and Wilmore are still in good health despite their unanticipated stay, and they even went on a spacewalk in January.

Exercise, work, and leisure are the main activities on board the ISS. To maintain their bone and muscle strength, they should do regular routines on both the treadmill and resistance machine.

Numerous space agencies and private companies also scheduled scheduled missions to resupply the space station with food, water, and oxygen, which were frequently carried out by cargo missions throughout the year.

According to The Times newspaper in London, the two also had a festive dinner that included smoked salmon, crab, duck, foie gras, cranberry sauce, and Atlantic lobster.

Williams and Wilmore have also been able to stay in touch with their families via email and phone.

Williams and Wilmore were “feeling good, working out, and eating right,” Williams claimed in a November interview with Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News.

“We have a lot of fun up here,” she continued. Really, don’t worry about us if people are worried about us because we’re a happy crew here.

Have space travelers ever experienced this?

Not just the first astronauts to experience an unanticipated extended stay in space, Williams and Wilmore are among them. In some cases, astronauts were forced to remain in orbit longer than originally planned due to technical issues or geopolitical issues.

Frank Rubio’s 371-day mission on board the ISS, which ran from 2022 to 2023, was the longest spaceflight by a US astronaut, and it was delayed due to problems with the Soyuz spacecraft. He ultimately made a different Soyuz capsule return.

Due to the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, Sergei Krikalev, a Soviet astronaut, was stranded for 311 days on the now-defunct Mir space station.

Jimmy Carr praised for booting out ‘nuisance’ heckler from Birmingham show

By in Entertainment News, News

After some unrest in the crowd, Jimmy Carr ejected a obnoxious heckler from his performance.

After it is believed that the heckler was speaking during the routine’s opening 30 minutes on Sunday evening, the comedian challenged the man who was seated in the front row of the first tier. According to reports, it reportedly caused audience fracas, during which a man is said to have attempted to punch the rowdy heckler.

Jimmy, 52, has received a lot of praise for his decision, which led to the troublemaker being expelled from Birmingham Symphony Hall. Several attendees to the concert took to social media to show their support.

You handled that obnoxious idiot like a pro, one user said. Another remarked, “Fabulous show, and the guy who got escorted out, he deserved nothing less.” A third chimed in, “Great show, handled the crowd trouble with class.”

Peter Kay
Last month, Peter Kay allegedly heckled three people at a Manchester gig.

One witness in Birmingham said, “Four people got up and one of them had to be prevented from striking the heckler.” Then Jimmy intervened, telling the four fans to sit down and saying to the heckler, “You’re blind drunk, you’re probably on cocaine, so I’ll give you three options. You have two options: you can get up and leave, leave, and then return to see me again, or you can wait and decline, and I’ll get security.

Jimmy, renowned for his notoriously brutal style, was eventually applauded by security, who reportedly had the man and his female companion ejected right away.

“Everyone started yelling and Jimmy mentioned the Peter Kay incident a few weeks ago,” he said. The witness told Mail Online, “There must be something in the water at these comedy shows right now.” Jimmy’s representatives have been contacted by The Mirror to comment on the praise.

In February, Peter Kay allegedly heckled three people at his Manchester gig. The comedian allegedly called security to request their removal after repeatedly yelling “garlic bread” in reference to Peter’s famous catchphrase.

“I just can’t understand it, all I said was “garlic bread,” said Philip, 54. They dragged us out like ragged dolls when my son and I were there. The comedian claims that when he initially chanted the catchphrase, Mr. Kay, and the warehouse worker were gracious when they later lost their patience with him.

Another Manchester audience member, who reportedly compared her to actress Lisa Riley, was also asked to leave the AO arena, where Mr. Kay reportedly made a comparison. Other audience members left early, according to Phillip, because they felt like people had been kicked out. However, some online users claim that hecklers always ruin shows.

Israel launches Gaza assault, killing hundreds and shattering ceasefire

By in News, World News

Israel’s major assault on Gaza broke the flimsy two-month-old ceasefire between its forces and Hamas.

More than 200 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes across the territory on Tuesday, according to Gaza’s government media office.

According to medical sources, at least 20 people were killed in Gaza City in the north and at least 77 in Khan Younis in the south of the country, according to medical sources.

Additionally, Israeli strikes strike southern Deir el-Balah and Rafah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that he had given the military the directive to “strong action” against Hamas because it had refused to release Israeli captives or accept offers to extend the ceasefire.

The Prime Minister’s Office stated in a statement that “Israel will continue to fight Hamas with increasing military might.”

On Telegram, the Israeli military claimed to be carrying out “extensive strikes on terror targets” belonging to Hamas.

Hamas, the country’s ruler, claimed that Israel’s attacks were a unilateral end to the January 19 ceasefire.

The Palestinian organization stated in a statement that “Netanyahu and his extremist government are making a decision to overturn the ceasefire agreement” and that prisoners in Gaza face a “unknown fate.”

Israel was accused by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) of “deliberately sabotaging every attempt to reach a ceasefire.”

According to a statement shared with Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, “We affirm that what Netanyahu and his barbaric army failed to accomplish in 15 months of crimes and bloodshed, they will not succeed in accomplishing again.”

Teacher Ahmed Abu Rizq in Gaza claimed that he and his family heard the scream of “Israeli strikes everywhere.”

Our children were scared, and we were scared. Our relatives called us frequently to check [on] ourselves. According to Abu Rizq, the ambulance started moving from one street to another, adding that families began arriving at the hospital with the “remains of their children” in hand.

According to Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut, Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reported from Amman, Jordan, talks had been stalled after Netanyahu refused to start discussions on phase two of the ceasefire deal on February 6. Israel has accused Hamas of rejecting various proposals made by negotiators.

According to Salhut, “a number of Israeli analysts, members of the political opposition, and members of Netanyahu’s own government claimed that this was the original intention, a reprise of the fighting,” or “a full-scale war.”

There is also a new army chief of staff, who stated that 2025 would be a “year of war,” noting that Israel still has many objectives to fulfill when it comes to the Gaza Strip, which means that their military exercises are not yet over.

Since the start of the ceasefire, Hamas has exchanged nearly 2, 000 Palestinian prisoners for about 30 of their own.

Due to Israel’s insistent extension of the first stage until mid-April, negotiations on the second phase of the agreement had reached a standstill. It would lead to the release of nearly 60 of the remaining captives and the establishing of a permanent ceasefire.

The attacks, according to Mouin Rabbani, a non-resident fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, were “the beginning of a larger campaign,” but it’s not clear whether they were a one-off or one-off.

According to Rabbani, “the most crucial element” was the second phase of negotiations that resulted in a lasting ceasefire and the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.”

The Israeli government has repeatedly stated that it will not do that.

In other words, he said, “Israel] signed an agreement knowing that it would reject its implementation.”

Israel and US President Donald Trump had discussions about the strikes, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

According to Leavitt, “All hell will break loose,” as President Trump has stated, and Hamas, the Houthis, and Iran will all be put to the test by President Trump.

Trump says he will release 80,000 pages of JFK files on Tuesday

By in News, World News

The death of John F. Kennedy, whose murder has fueled conspiracy theories for more than 60 years, will be made public on Tuesday, according to Donald Trump, president of the United States.

Trump stated at the Kennedy Center on Monday that the release would “a lot of reading” about the assassination of the 35th US president, who died in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.

“I don’t think we’ll redact anything,” he said. Trump told reporters, “You can’t redact, just don’t redact,” and I said that. However, the JFK files will be made available.

Trump responded by stating that he was aware of the contents of the files and had seen what was in them.

He declared, “It’s going to be very interesting.”

Following a January executive order, Trump’s remarks request the release of all documents relating to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

Trump gave Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, the order to “present a plan for the full and complete release” of JFK assassination files within 15 days.

About 2,400 new files related to the assassination were discovered according to the FBI last month as a result of searches it had conducted to comply with the order.

For decades, US society has been captivated by the circumstances surrounding JFK’s death, with surveys revealing that the majority of Americans doubt official theories.

According to a 2023 Gallup poll, 65% of Americans disapproved of the Warren Commission’s claim that Lee Harvey Oswald, a US Marine veteran who was detained over the death of JFK, was the sole suspect in the president’s death.

One in ten people surveyed said they thought Oswald had a plot to extort money from the US government, while one in ten said they thought he had a working relationship with the CIA.

Trump pledged to release all assassination-related documents during his first administration, but he only ultimately made about 2,800 releases after the CIA and FBI requested that thousands of pages of information be held pending review.

More than 4,700 files were withheld in part or full, leaving only about 17, 000 more records under the former US president’s control.

More than 99 percent of the roughly 320 000 documents reviewed by the 1992 JFK Records Act have been made public, according to the National Archives.

If the president decided that the release of any remaining files would “inflict such a significant harm” to national defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or foreign relations of such magnitude that it “outweighs the public interest in disclosure,” the law mandated that all remaining files be made public by October 26th, 2017.
