This will be my last professional race – Button

Jenson Button says his final professional appearance will be in the 8 Hours of Bahrain race on Saturday.

The 45-year-old has spent the last two years with Team Jota competing in the World Endurance Championship (WEC).

Brawn and Button shared the 2009 Formula 1 world title, and in 2016 he retired from the sport after completing 306 races and winning 15 Grand Prix.

Since then, he has competed in various sports, including rallycross, supercars, Le Mans, and supercars.

The British driver claimed that, especially with a young family, choosing to stay in WEC was not difficult because he had not had time to commit to another season.

Although Jota and I have a lot of fun together, Button said, “I think I’ll have enough time for it because my life has become way too busy.”

You’re away for a week, your kids are four and six, and you miss so much, you don’t get this time back, he said.

“I feel like I’ve missed a lot the past couple of years, which is fine because I knew that would happen,” said one participant.

When he can “pick and choose,” Button still wants to compete for fun in his own classic cars despite quitting his professional racing career.

He said, “I have classic cars that I enjoy racing, and for me that’s exciting because it’s my car, which I own, and I enjoy the mechanical aspect.”

Myanmar rebels to withdraw from two towns under new China-brokered truce

Myanmar’s military-run government claims to have reached a truce with its northern neighbor to end months of frequent clashes.

Following several days of China-mediated discussions in Kunming, which is located about 400 kilometers (248 miles) from the Myanmar border, the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) announced on Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with Myanmar’s government.

The TNLA announced on the signing of the agreement that it would leave Mogok, the ruby-mining site in the upper Mandalay region, and Momeik, a neighboring town in the northern part of Shan state, without setting out a date. Beginning on Wednesday, the rebels and government troops will “stop advancing,” the statement added.

The military, which hasn’t yet made any comments on the agreement, agreed to stop air strikes, according to the group.

The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and the Arakan Army are also included in the Three Brotherhood Alliance. They have waged decades-long battles for greater autonomy from Myanmar’s central government, and they are loosely associated with the pro-democracy resistance organizations that came after the army removed the elected government from power and seized power in February 2021.

The alliance has seized and ruled significant portions of northeastern and western Myanmar since October 2023. In a single offensive, the TNLA seized 12 towns.

Following a number of China-brokered ceasefires earlier this year, which allowed the army to retake major cities like Lashio and Nawnghkio in April and Kyaukme and Hsipaw in October, their advance slowed.

In Myanmar, where it has significant geopolitical and economic interests, China is the primary player in the civil war.

Beijing has publicly supported the military administration this year as it fights to reestablish its hold on territory ahead of a December election that it hopes will stabilise and help legitimize its rule.

However, large rebel-held areas are expected to be obstructed, and many international observers have criticized them as a way to hide the military’s continued rule.

Dani Dyer speaks out about failed romance with ex Sammy Kimmence in ‘guilty’ admission

The Love Island winner, who claimed she “loved the wrong people” but “does not regret anything,” opened up about her failed relationships with Sammy Kimmence and Jack Fincham.

Dani Dyer has opened up about her failed relationships with Sammy Kimmence and fellow Love Island winner Jack Fincham, admitting she “loved the wrong people”. The 29 year old first started to make a name for herself when she went on the hit ITV dating show Love Island in 2018, and went on to win the show with her then-boyfriend Jack.

Dani and Jack broke up shortly after winning Love Island, and they later dated Sammy, who they also had dated before joining the cast. She and Sammy had a son named Santiago, who was born in 2021.

However, she and Sammy split in July of that year after he was given a three-year prison sentence for plotting a £34k scam. Dani, who she chatted with on Jamie Laing’s podcast, acknowledged that she had no regrets about her past relationships and that she had “loved the wrong person.”

She said she “shouldn’t have gone back there” when talking about her time with Sammy. He never wanted to settle down with me, she said, because he was a major player and I shouldn’t have taken him back. “I have no regrets about having Santi, so I’m so happy I had him.”

She continued, “very civil,” for the good of their son because they never wanted him to feel “uncomfortable” as a result.

Dani now has two other children – twins Summer and Star – with her husband Jarrod Bowen. She said she sometimes feels “guilty” that her son has broken up parents.

“He is never going to know that his mother and father are together, and I always feel bad because Jarrod’s twins say “Daddy, daddy,” but Santi doesn’t.

Dani also acknowledged that she had never visited Sammy while he was incarcerated and that she had always felt foolish because she had never inquired what he was doing. “I just loved the wrong person, and I didn’t want to say anything to make Santi think,” I said. “I stayed silent.”

Reflecting on her relationship with Jack, she said that “genuinely thought [she’d] met the one” but that they wanted different things. She wanted to stay home and cook, whilst Jack wanted to go out. “We just weren’t compatible on the outside world.”

Jacob Elordi ‘splits from girlfriend again’ just weeks after rekindling romance

The relationship between the Frankenstein actor and his girlfriend has been ongoing for four years, but it is said that the romance is “completely over.”

Jacob Elordi and his girlfriend, Olivia Jade Giannulli, are said to have split up only weeks after getting back together. The couple have had an on-and-off again relationship for four years, but that is reportedly “fully over” now.

The Frankenstein star was first linked to Olivia Jade in 2021, but the relationship has stopped and started multiple times. The last break-up was reported to be in August of this year.

Rumors had started that Olivia Jade and Jacob had reconciled because a source told the press that they were “seeing each other again” in September. However, it is reported that they broke up once more, this time for good, just a few weeks later.

Olivia Jade’s family has spoken to People, “It’s completely over.” They aren’t reunited, they say. She’s okay about Jacob’s split, but she’s more upset about what’s happening to her father.

Olivia Jade, who is a YouTuber, is the daughter of fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli and Full House actress Lori Loughlin. After 28 years of marriage, they have split up. Lori’s representative told People that the couple are living separately but “there are no legal proceedings at this time”.

After admitting to paying $500, 000 in bribes to charity to get their daughters a spot at the University of Southern California, Lori and Mossimo were both sentenced to prison time five years apart. While her husband received a five-month sentence and a $250, 000 fine, Lori was given a two-month sentence and was required to pay a fine of $150, 000.

Jacob and Olivia were first romantically linked in December of that year, and they were reportedly dating by May 2022. However, according to reports that they split in August of that year, Jacob reportedly had been “completely focused” on his career, according to an insider.

Despite this, they were seen together on numerous other occasions, including during a trip to Idaho in July 2023. They were rumored to have broken up once more in January 2024, but they had reunited in October.

Olivia Jade and Jacob decided to move from the United States to Paris in April, according to the latest split rumors. They were initially believed to have split up in August, but they later rekindled their relationship in September and are now splitting up. Olivia Jade and Glen Powell have also been romantically linked during this time.

Jacob has also had a busy career. He is currently ecstatic about the upcoming release of his new film, Frankenstein, in which he plays the monster. Oscar Isaac plays the gothic doctor, and it was directed by Guillermo Del Toro.

In February, he will continue the gothic theme, which is when Emerald Fennel’s film Wuthering Heights will be released. In contrast to Cathy, Margot Robbie and Jacob play Heathcliff. On Saltburn, Jacob and Emerald previously collaborated.

Two suspects in Louvre heist partially admit involvement: Paris prosecutor

After “partially admitting to the charges,” Paris Public Prosecutor Laure Beccuau has reported that the two men who were detained for a jewel heist at France’s Louvre Museum are now facing charges of theft and criminal conspiracy.

According to Beccuau, the suspects were to be detained by magistrates on Wednesday in order to “charge them with organized theft, which carries a 15-year prison sentence” and criminal conspiracy, which could lead to ten years in prison. Beccuau stated that the jewelry that was taken on October 19 has not yet been recovered.

According to a Paris prosecutor, two suspects in the Louvre jewel heist have “partially” admitted their involvement and are thought to be the men who allegedly forced their way into the world’s most popular museum.

According to Beccuau, the two suspects are expected to be in temporary detention and face preliminary charges of theft committed by an organized gang and criminal conspiracy. She declined to provide specifics about their remarks.

The world was shocked when thieves stole the jewels worth 88 million euros ($102m) in less than eight minutes. Eight pieces of the French crown jewels were taken with them after they forced open a window, cut into cases with power tools, and fled.

A 34-year-old Algerian national who has resided in France since 2010, according to Beccuau, is the suspect. He had no return ticket and was being detained on Saturday night at Charles de Gaulle Airport. According to Beccuau, he was a resident of Paris’ northern suburb of Aubervilliers and was primarily known to the police for traffic offenses.

The 39-year-old suspect was detained at his home in Aubervilliers on Saturday night.

No evidence to suggest that he was about to leave the country, Beccuau said. The man’s DNA was discovered on one of the glass cases where the jewels were displayed and on items the thieves left behind, according to the woman. He was known to the police for several thefts.

The suspects’ attorneys had a late-Monday deadline to file charges against them, release them, or request an extension from the judge.

Jewels have not yet been recovered.

According to Beccuau, the jewels have not been recovered.

She warned that anyone who purchases these jewels would be guilty of concealing stolen goods because they are now, of course, unsellable. There is still time to return them.

French police made clear that the Louvre’s defenses had significant gaps, turning the brilliant-night theft into a national debate over how France protects its treasures earlier on Wednesday.

Patrice Faure, the police chief in Paris, claimed that the museum’s weak seams were caused by slow-moving fixes and ageing systems.

He claimed that there hasn’t been a technological advancement, noting that some of the video network’s analog components still produce lower-quality images that take longer to share in real time.

He claimed that a long-promised revamp won’t be finished until 2029-2030.

Faure also made it clear that some people believe that the Louvre’s document lapse, which they saw as a sign of greater negligence, was the quietly expired authorization to use its security cameras from July.

Officers “arrived extremely quickly” following the theft, according to the police chief, but the lag in the response process spanned earlier stages of the chain, from initial detection to museum security to the emergency line to police command.

According to Faure and his team, a cyclist outside who dialed the emergency line after seeing helmeted men using a basket lift was the first to call the police and not the Louvre’s alarms.

A museum in eastern France discovered a damaged display case within 24 hours of the Louvre heist, reporting the theft of gold and silver coins.
