At least 60 Palestinians killed in Gaza as Netanyahu vows to ‘finish job’

By in News, World News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to “finish the job” against Hamas in a speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, as Israel’s military has killed dozens more Palestinians in Gaza recently.

According to medical sources, 60 people were killed on Friday in Palestinian territory that had been under siege and bombarded.

Israel has launched ground operations in Gaza City on September 16 and has since killed at least 30 of the victims there.

On Friday, bombs were fired at locations like al-Wehda Street, the Shati camp, and the Nassr neighborhood. The west of the city’s residential Remal neighborhood was also targeted by one attack.

According to Ibrahim al-Khalili of Al Jazeera, the attack occurred without any prior notice, and that Palestinian civilians were searching through the rubble of a building to find survivors as medical personnel removed the bodies of the dead.

According to al-Khalili, “this residential neighborhood is still crowded with many residents who have chosen to stay.”

In light of the growing number of Israeli attacks aimed at various locations and sites, he continued, “the situation has gone from bad to worse.”

Israel has launched an air strike every eight or nine minutes over the past 24 hours, according to UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, citing the Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Palestinian medical sources added to the deaths caused by Israeli airstrikes by confirming that 13 people were killed on Friday in an effort to access aid from GHF, a controversial organization supported by Israel and the United States.

Netanyahu resolute

Netanyahu attacked the nations that have granted Palestinian statehood this week in a defiant speech at the UN headquarters.

Earlier than he spoke, delegates were protesting the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza in protest.

He claimed that loudspeakers were playing his words throughout parts of Gaza during his speech.

Before he issued a warning to Hamas members to lay down their weapons and release the remaining captives, the Israeli prime minister even claimed that his speech was being broadcast to Gaza residents’ phones.

However, this is not the case, according to Randa Hanoun, 30, a Palestinian who has fled to Deir el-Balah in the center of Gaza.

We didn’t hear any loudspeakers, Hanoun said, and we haven’t received any messages or anything on the phone.

US President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that he was close to negotiating a deal to end the war and bring the captives home as fighting continues on the ground and Netanyahu shows no signs of stopping the offensive.

“We appear to have reached a deal with Gaza,” he said. The hostages will be released, in my opinion. Trump stated to reporters at the White House, “We will strike a deal that brings the war to an end.” He provided no details or schedule. On Monday, Trump is scheduled to meet with Netanyahu.

“Encircled by Israeli forces”

A medical source in the Strip also reported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza that a 17-year-old boy had died from starvation and lack of care.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, which reported that 147 of the victims were children, the boy’s death underscores the worsening humanitarian and health crisis in Gaza. At least 440 malnutrition-related deaths have been reported.

The charity Doctors without Borders (known by its French acronym as MSF) announced on Friday that Israeli tanks and airstrikes near its clinics were putting an “unacceptable level of risk” on the part of its staff and patients.

The Israeli forces are encircling our clinics, which is the last thing we wanted, according to Jacob Granger, MSF’s emergency coordinator in Gaza.

Last week, the organization reported that it had treated patients for malnutrition, trauma injuries, and maternal care in more than 3, 640 consultations.

Palestinians are still trapped in Gaza City, according to MSF, and hospitals across the region are overburdened with staff and supplies.

The UN’s humanitarian coordinator, Tom Fletcher, also spoke about the grim conditions in Gaza, where many Palestinians are famined.

According to Fletcher, “We’re still dealing with these terrible obstacles, impediments to delivering aid,” the Israeli government said.

Jade Thirlwall reveals sweet secrets behind huge track as fans praise Easter eggs

By in Entertainment News, News

That’s Showbiz Baby, a new album from Jade Thirlwall, has been enjoying the attention of fans, and the former Little Mix singer has now revealed one of her hit songs to the fans.

Jade Thirlwall continues to mark her mark on the music industry as a solo artist and she has revealed the amazing secret behind her new tune. The former Little Mix star, 32, recently released her debut album, That’s Showbiz Baby, featuring huge hits such as Angel of My Dreams and FUFN.

However, it was her rendition of Before You Break My Heart that grabbed the attention of listeners. The song, which is a mashup that includes the iconic Diana Ross and The Supremes song from 1965, Stop!, has received rave reviews from Jade’s fans.

And now she has revealed a little secret: the younger voice in the song’s chorus was actually her when she was just 11 years old. The vocals were taken from a previous South Shields recording of her homecoming show.

She admits playing the video to her producer who loved it so much it got included in the final edition. Taking to Instagram, Jade shared the video with her followers and captioned it: “How we made Before You Break My Heart.”

Before the cut, the clip featured a young Jade singing in a purple dress and Jade listening to the enhanced version in the studio.

She also shared how her niece features in the video as a young version of herself. It comes after a sweet rendition of the tune was first heard during her BBC Proms showing in her home region at the Glasshouse.

Before You Break My Heart, a user gushed, “Sampling yourself singing as a child was GENIUS,” Jade captioned the upload.

Another added: “I’ve been listening to this song non-stop all morning and thinking about the creative process behind it, with all the tiny and enticing production details/ Easter eggs (as I believe is a trademark of the whole album).

I kept thinking it was a classic yet not in a lazy way, but rather a more intimate one, almost owning it because it was such a great way to sample (don’t know if that’s the right term here). And I now understand why this is the case. Congratulations on this outstanding body of work. “It’s been a while since I’ve been so excited about an album.

Little jade is everywhere, and I adore it, wrote a third, and a fourth person responded, “I can’t remember you practice in that dress in the living room most nights. Love the sample.

She previously admitted she won’t be making any money from the tune no matter how successful it is. “I didn’t think [Before You Break My Heart] would be a favourite,” Jade said in a recent interview. “But it’s the one that’s getting the most traction online.”

When The Sun inquired about how she could use the sample on the track, she admitted, “I am getting no royalties for that track, that’s how I got it.”

Moldova bans pro-Russian parties ahead of Sunday’s election

By in News, World News

Published On 26 Sep 2025

The high-stakes election this weekend, which was overshadowed by claims of Russian interference, has been suspended by Moldova’s electoral commission.

The commission cited allegations of illegal financing, voter bribery, and undeclared foreign funds as justification for the commission’s decision to axe the Heart of Moldova and Moldova Mare parties on Friday. Before Sunday’s election, both parties had campaigned for closer ties with Moscow to challenge the pro-Western government.

Following a ruling from the Chisinau Court of Appeal that temporarily curbed the party’s activities for a year, the court of appeal decided against the Heart of Moldova. Following earlier this month’s allegations of money laundering, illegal financing, and attempts to bribe voters, the Ministry of Justice requested the ban.

The organization disputed the allegations, calling the action a political purge.

This isn’t justice, but a culmination of a dirty show planned by the authorities to silence us, the statement read. Irina Vlah, the party’s leader, also denounced the decision, calling it a “political spectacle, concocted a long time ago.”

The electoral commission announced that Heart of Moldova’s candidates would be removed from the Patriotic Electoral Bloc (BEP), which has been the party’s main adversary in opposition to the ruling party of Action and Solidarity (PAS). The bloc has 24 hours to change its candidate list to ensure eligibility.

The commission also forbade Moldova Mare, citing its involvement in a “camouflaged electoral bloc” linked to a banned party, as well as vote-buying, covert financing from abroad, and its involvement in what it called a “camouflaged electoral bloc.”

Moldova, a former Soviet republic that acquiesced to the EU in 2022, is viewed as crucial to the outcome of Sunday’s election. The outcome will determine whether the nation stays in favor of Moscow or reverses its course.

Under President Maia Sandu’s leadership since 2021, the PAS has enjoyed a strong parliamentary majority, but analysts fear that as Russia-friendly blocs grow in popularity.

The PAS is under pressure on a number of fronts, especially with no significant pro-European candidates for the election.

Play-off eliminator for Betfred Super League

Leigh (18) 26

Goals: O’Brien 5

Wakefield (0) 10

In their first Super League play-off elimination game, the Leigh Leopards defeated Wakefield Trinity to advance to the semi-finals.

The visitors controlled the first half thanks to tries from Keanan Brand, Isaac Liu, and Josh Charnley, who finished nine points clear of Trinity in the regular season.

Wakefield had hoped in the opening period of the second half thanks to Jayden Myers’ response, but Cameron Scott’s superb solo try was only consolation due to a Gareth O’Brien penalty and Alec Tuitavake’s score.

After a fantastic first season back in the Super League, Leigh and Trinity faced their first play-off appearance in 13 years.

On their final trip to the Leopards Den, Daryl Powell’s team won 40-14, and Josh Griffin almost had a dream start when he scored O’Brien’s first-minute clearance kick but couldn’t gather as a clear run to the line awaited.

The visitors, who had Matty Storton in the second row injured in five minutes, were essentially done with the first half.

Umyla Hanley scored Brand’s seventh try in four games and his 17th Super League try of the season from Leigh who soon made it easy on the front.

As Wakefield were penned deep into their own territory by rampant Leigh, three tacklers combined to stop Hanley’s charge for the line while Frankie Halton was held up a metre short.

Trinity’s goalline defense resisted pressure, but Liu’s powerful run resulted in a battered backline that finally cracked.

With a 40-20 lead, Lachlan Lam kept the fast-forward momentum, and Charnley was instrumental scrum-half-half-frenchly fed Charnley to cross in the left corner a few plays later.

Within four minutes of the restart, the visitors desperately needed the next try. O’Brien quickly reacted with a high kick that Mason Lino had rebounded from, and Myers performed a spectacular diving one-handed kick.

O’Brien received a momentum-stalling penalty right away before Tuitavake crashed over on the hour to put the hosts out of sight with a score of 26-4.

“Hopefully we can reproduce that next week” is the response.

Adrian Lam, head coach of the Leigh Leopards, told BBC Radio Manchester:

When our attitude is right and there is effort to support it, we are capable of doing that. That’s taken a long time, but hopefully we can reproduce that next week.

We were 80 minutes away from Old Trafford last year, and we were in this position, and I’m grateful for that.

Because I knew we needed to do that to advance, “I made a lot of changes.”

We’ll have to wait and see whether this team is prepared for that or not next week, but I’m just grateful that this group of players is beginning to come together as a group.

Daryl Powell, the head coach of Wakefield Trinity, told BBC Radio Leeds:

Leigh exceeded what we’ve seen before, in my opinion, by a few notches. I thought they managed to do a fantastic job.

“We were strong in the second half, but we just didn’t get enough tonight.” Every time we tried to make things difficult, we would put the ball down.

You can’t have that in these games, I don’t think we had many boys who would hold their hands up and say they were at their best tonight.

Hodgson, Brand, Niu, Hanley, Charnley, O’Brien, Lam, Ofahengaue, Ipape, Mulhern, Halton, Trout, Liu, and Brand.

Hughes, Tuitavake, Davis, and Dwyer make changes.

Wakefield includes McMeeken, Hood, Faatili, Griffin, Storton, Pitts, Myers, Scott, Pratt, Johnstone, Trueman, Lino, Myers, Myers, Scott, Myers, Scott, Pratt, and Scott.

Mo Gilligan’s fiancée feels ‘suffocated’ as she welcomes baby after ‘secret love child’

By in Entertainment News, News

Taia Tulher, the fiancee of Masks Singer star Mo Gilligan, has come out to express her feelings for the first child after claiming to have a secret love child.

Comedian Mo Gilligan’s fiancée has confirmed they have welcomed their first child together as she shared the ups and downs of motherhood. The Masked Singer judge and his partner Taia Tulher welcomed their baby a few weeks ago, as he faced claims of having another child.

Mo popped the question last month, following claims from his ex Selina Christoforou. She posted an explosive video on TikTok where she claimed he already has a child but is a “deadbeat dad”.

The model claimed she knows how few times the star has met his son Rudi and insisted you “can’t make someone be a dad”. Mo stayed silent on the claims, but he appeared to hit back at Selina by sharing his first post featuring Rudi.

Now, amid the newborn bubble, Taia has revealed more details of the birth of her child with Mo. She shared a touching montage of clips from throughout her pregnancy and gushed over Mo for being the “kindest and strongest”.

My dearest baby, Taia wrote, “Every night I play you this song I wrote, so you can drift off into the love that I sometimes can’t express in words.” And as I hold you, I hope you experience the same love that you once experienced in your own mother’s arms: a deep, steady state of love that reflects who you are.

“I hope you feel it in every note, how every worry fades when I look at you, how holding you makes me feel like God has taken my hand once again. Whenever I lose my way, it is you who brings me back to the path.” She added: “There are days when the tiredness feels heavy, when the world seems to close in, when harm and pain try to reach me and I feel like I’m slowly suffocating. But then I remember I have you.

You are life loving me back, as I once read, not just the love of my life. She addressed Mo, saying, “Your father is the kindest, strongest soul I know, and I am never endingly grateful for him.”

His constant love has always been my anchor, and I sincerely hope you’ll continue to love him as you mature. This love is ours, it is mine, and it is yours. The melody will always be with you. And it won’t end, “

A source earlier this week confirmed that Mo and Taia are in a “blood of bliss.” She gave birth to her baby a short while ago, and things are now back to normal.

The pair were seen at London Fashion Week together, and there was no sign of Taia’s bump. “They are keeping their baby’s gender and name for just close friends and family but they’ve been sharing the news of the baby’s arrival with people now. Mo and Taia couldn’t be happier,” the source added to The Sun.

Ex-Selina yelled foul at Mo in a viral post, saying, “I just posted on Instagram about my son’s dad. For your information, I don’t blame you. His father is Mo Gilligan, I guess. Quite a lot of quotation marks.

Continue reading the article.

According to a source at the time, Mo sees the baby “semi-regularly.” She learned she was pregnant in May of this year, according to the insider, and both of them were shocked by their diligence.

Despite the fact that they weren’t actually a couple, she still wanted to have the child. Mo sees their son semi-regularly, and she adores him. He is excited about becoming a father for the second time and is excited about it. He feels comfortable with Taia and has been with her for a while.
