A former world champion paralympic athlete named Suha Maqat is blind in one eye and trapped in Gaza City. Due to her situation, it is impossible for her to abide by Israel’s forced displacement orders, just like other Palestinians with disabilities.
Liverpool manager Gareth Taylor says he “stayed true to his role” when dealing with disagreements with England forward Chloe Kelly in his previous job.
Taylor, who joined Liverpool in August, spent five years at Manchester City where he managed Kelly before her dramatic move to Arsenal, originally on loan in January.
Kelly pushed for a move away from the club, referencing “negative behaviour” towards her and saying she “wanted to be happy again” in a social media post, and later criticised City for attempting to “assassinate her character” on transfer deadline day.
She went on to win the Women’s Champions League with Arsenal in May before scoring the winning penalty as England beat Spain in a shootout in July’s Euro 2025 final.
Taylor says there are “always things you will look at” when asked if he would do anything differently now, but insists both parties have “moved on”.
Reflecting on the situation, he told BBC Sport: “You understand as a head coach that you are not going to make everyone happy in your team. That’s normal.
“Players want to play. I understand that. I had it many times myself when I was a professional and I was out of the team – I had my beef with it as well.
“I just always tried to remain as professional as possible. Now, on the other side of it as a head coach, my job is to select what I think is the team that gives us the best opportunity. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I get it wrong.
Taylor now takes on a fresh opportunity at Liverpool, who finished seventh in the Women’s Super League last season.
There is work to do, he acknowledges, having taken a few months to get his appointment over the line because of contractual issues from his previous post at City.
During that time, Liverpool’s star player Olivia Smith was sold to Arsenal for a world record £1m fee, joining vice-captain Taylor Hinds, who ended her five-year stint with the Reds.
“Those players go with our best wishes. You never want to retain a player that probably has her eye on a move and we understand that completely,” said Taylor.
“There is work to do, for sure. We don’t want to lose top players like those two but it makes the challenge a little bit more difficult.
“Ideally [myself and my staff] would have been here a little bit earlier but it is what it is. In the days we have been here, we have seen big strides.
“The engagement from the players has been fantastic. They are a really good group of girls. The people here are incredible. The club is top class in that sense.”
Liverpool are rebuilding to try to close the gap between themselves and the WSL’s top four.
“The challenges here will be different to any other club. But what we have here is a very good opportunity to start to build something,” said Taylor.
“The environment at Melwood is incredible. The girls are really hungry to learn and to create an identity. That’s the key thing. That process is not a quick one.
Liverpool, back-to-back WSL champions in 2013 and 2014, have ambitions to return to the top in the long-term.
And Taylor arrives with Champions League experience, leading City to the quarter-finals in 2020-21.
“[There is a] huge history. A fantastic club that has fantastic support. The connection with the supporters was one of the huge reasons why I came. It’s pretty unparalleled,” said Taylor.
“But everyone wants to be in the Champions League. Everyone wants to win the league. There’s only one team who can win. The challenges are really tough.
“There is always an expectation. We won’t be competing for the title this season but in a few years we want to be challenging for the Champions League spots.”
Taylor’s biggest job is to instill his style of play at Liverpool.
He has long favoured a possession-based game and wants his players to build out from the back.
“It’s a game model that is simple. That’s not to say it is simple to execute. Players need to make errors while doing it to see progression,” said Taylor.
“It’s adapting so players don’t feel it is completely different to what they were doing previously. That identity is really important.
Following the passing of her separated husband Jeff Baena at the beginning of this year, American actress Aubrey Plaza has described it as a “daily juggle.”
The Los Angeles County medical examiner determined that the filmmaker had committed suicide in January at the age of 47. The director and screenwriter died hanging from a hanging tree at a home close to the Fern Dell Nature Trail near Hollywood Hills.
Jeff’s death was announced in January, but Aubrey made a statement to his family, this time out of candor. On her appearance on Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary show in February, the Agatha All Along star paid a subtle tribute to her late husband.
The actress, who appeared on Amy Poehler’s podcast during her Parks and Recreation co-star Amy Poehler’s appearance, discussed how to deal with grief after making her red carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
She continued, “I feel happy to be with you at this very, very present moment. Overall, I’m functioning and here. I’m so blessed to be traversing the world. I believe I’m fine, but it’s obviously a daily battle.
She compared her grief to Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy’s The Gorge from the 2025 film, according to Amy’s Good Hang podcast.
She said, “I actually mean it because this analogy is really stupid and it was kind of a joke at one point.” The Gorge, did you watch it? There is a gorge in between and a cliff on one side, and there is a cliff on the other, and there are all these monster people trying to get them.
When I watched it, I allegedly said, “I swear I was like that’s how my grief feels like… or what it might be like.” There is always a gigantic ocean of terribleness right there for me to see.
“Sometimes, I just want to get right into it and just like be in it.” Then I occasionally just keep looking at it and occasionally retreat. However, it is always present.
According to a report from the Los Angeles County Coroner Investigator, Aubrey and Jeff broke up in September 2024. The couple got married ten years later after dating since they had been together since 2011.
After getting “a little bored one night” during the Covid pandemic, the actress revealed to The Ellen DeGeneres Show in December 2021 that they had decided to tie the knot. The Little Hours and the 2014 horror film Life After Beth were co-written by the two.
Aubrey revealed what she wore on her wedding day during a conversation with Drew Barrymore the following month. She explained that Jeff and I decided to wear tie-dye pajamas that he had made for us because he really got into tie-dying during the [coronavirus] quarantine. It’s assumed that Jeff created the tie-dye shirt she wore on SNL in February.
In the workplace comedy Parks and Recreation, where Poehler portrayed politician Leslie Knope, Aubrey is best known for her role as April. She is also renowned for her roles in Agatha All Along and The White Lotus, the second season of Marvel. She has also appeared in movies like Emily The Criminal, Megalopolis, My Old Ass, Ingrid Goes West, and Dirty Grandpa.
Baena also wrote the 2004 comedy I Heart Huckabees, starring Jude Law, Jason Schwartzman, Dustin Hoffman, and Mark Wahlberg, as well as the 2020 thriller Horse Girl, which stars Alison Brie, and the 2022 dark comedy Spin Me Round, both of which he also directed.
Additionally, he co-wrote the comedy anthology series Cinema Toast, which featured Alison Brie as the lead actress and Alison Brie as the lead actress.

This might be the final letter I  write from Gaza City for those who still care.
We anticipate that Israel will soon formally enact its “evacuation orders.” Gaza, my beloved city, is in the midst of an Israeli army-permanent military occupation. In the southern portion of the Strip, they intend to force us to all leave our homes and relocate into tents. Who will resist will be punished for what reasons. In Gaza City, we might be living in our final days.
We’ve been told that Israel wants to occupy our city and establish its population as a settlement. We initially didn’t believe it because we believed that this type of news was psychological warfare. After all, there have been “evacuation orders” before, and people were permitted to return, even if it was in their homes.
The Israeli army instructed everyone in northern Gaza, including Gaza City, to move south on October 13 shortly after the genocide began. Constant bombardment followed the orders. Sometimes, hundreds of people pass away in a single day. Numerous tens of thousands of people eluded the south in search of their lives.
We opted not to. We all stayed in because my father refused to let me leave. We endured months of indescribable suffering and fear in our home. Our neighborhood’s destruction was clearly visible to us.
Then the Israeli army cut off the south and north. The north was not reached by Aid. My family and I endured the war’s most oppressive years between January and April 2024. We spent our days looking for anything to quench our hunger because we were both starving. We were occasionally forced to consume animal feed.
People were permitted to return to the north in January of this year when a ceasefire was in effect. It was a moving experience that reflected how ensnared we Palestinians are in our land.
The atmosphere seems to change this time. The threat of permanent occupation, or loss, seems very real, in my opinion.
A large number of tents and shelter equipment will be allowed into [Gaza] in preparation for the transfer of civilians from the war zone to the south, according to Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee’s Facebook post.
Gazans read this news with hearty hearts. Where will we flee, in spite of the many questions and few answers? What time will this begin? Will anyone step in and stop this catastrophe?
People are so depressed that they can no longer endure suffering because of their emotional, mental, physical, and financial woes.
We have been observing one another with confused, frightened eyes since my family and I first learned this news.
My heart exploded into a million pieces when I saw pictures of tents and tarpaulins entering Gaza City on social media. I was terrified to consider my future being encased in a tent. How can I pack a small tent with all of my big dreams?
I told my father that I would not like to camp. My cheeks were rolling in pain. He said, “We have no other choice; the tent is becoming our new reality,” and he looked at me with helplessness in his eyes.
We don’t want to leave, but we think we have no other options. We don’t believe we will stand up to the constant bombardment and shelling. When they invade this time, the Israelis will likely be even more brutal. This time, there will be total erasure, not punishment.
People are eating their final meal of the day with their families while they are feeling the end of their city. They are capturing everything that might be lost as they wander through their neighborhoods, comparing themselves to places in their childhood memories.
As I type these words, I’m occupying a room with many students and writers trying to overcome the apprehension about what lies ahead for both studying and working. In the dreadful chaos, they are attempting to maintain their daily routines.
Even when life means living to the bare minimum, people in Gaza adore life. We always discover a way to experience joy, joy, and happiness even in the darkest times.
I want hope, but I’m also terrified of tents, forced displacement, and exile because of all of these. I’m terrified of being silenced and cut off from the world.
I believe that the south of Israel will be a concentration camp where we will be silenced, silenced, and wiped out of existence.
I want to use this opportunity to appeal because I am unsure of how long my words will stay outside.
Sara Awad, a Palestinian student, has a career as a journalist and a graduate of an English literature school.
Do not forget Gaza’s 2 million love, heartbreak, and perseverance-loving people.
Gaza, my city, is a historic metropolis rich in history and culture and filled with love.
Even when the world almost abandoned us, we fervenously resisted and held onto our homes and lands.
