A house was filmed floating away off Alaska’s coast after Typhoon Halong made landfall over the weekend, killing one person and leaving two missing. More than 1,300 people have been displaced by the storm, with residents saying they witnessed around 20 homes floating out to sea.
Kelsey Parker has revealed she still hopes to have another baby with her boyfriend Will Lindsay, three months after the devastating stillbirth of their son, Phoenix.
While on her and pal Georgia Jones’s Mum’s The Word joint podcast, the 35-year-old widow opened up about her desire to keep growing her family despite unimaginable heartbreak.
Kelsey told Georgia: “I would love to have another baby. That’s not made me not want another baby. I think more it’s probably made me want a baby even more, because I was so prepared to have a baby.”

She went on to add: “And you know, Will hasn’t got his own children. He absolutely adores mine and they absolutely adore Will, which I’m so lucky and fortunate that they have got the most amazing relationship. But Will does want children of his own. If we can then we will continue to try for a baby.”
In the podcast chat, Kelsey also shared her heartbreaking regret as she said: “I think as well that when I was pregnant with Phoenix – and I feel like this is my regret – that I feel like I hid a lot because I was so worried about what people actually thought about me and – ‘oh she’s pregnant with another man’s baby’ when…
“But it’s like how can people be that judgemental and that opinionated because I actually lost that baby. I didn’t tell the world what I wanted to tell the world because I was holding back.”
She then added: “And I feel upset with myself that I let other people make me feel that way.”
Kelsey – who shares daughter Aurelia, six, and son Bodhi, five, with her late husband, The Wanted star Tom Parker – was due to welcome baby Phoenix in June. But in a heartbreaking turn, he was stillborn at 39 weeks.
The loss has been another devastating blow for Kelsey, who lost Tom in 2022 after a battle with brain cancer. A source told OK! that Kelsey “truly believes Tom is up there looking after baby Phoenix,” adding that she has faced “so much grief in one lifetime”.
Kelsey met her new tree surgeon boyfriend Will Lindsay two years after Tom’s death, and the pair announced they were expecting their first child together in January.
She described the pregnancy as a “blessing” when they shared the news, but the couple’s joy turned to sorrow when Phoenix “was born sleeping”.
Kelsey said her bond with Will and her children has kept her going through this tragedy. “It’s bittersweet. I thought I was going to be at home with a newborn,” she added.
Kelsey has also tried to navigate telling her children about the loss as honestly as she can, without upsetting them further. She previously told Lorraine: “They’ve lost their dad, they know their dad’s with the angels now, so we told them, ‘Phoenix has gone with your daddy.’”
Jess Fishlock’s Wales chapter is poised to come to an end following a glorious international career that has boasted 165 caps and 48 goals.
She will make her 166th and final appearance for her country when Rhian Wilkinson’s side host Australia at Cardiff City Stadium on 25 October.
The 38-year-old Fishlock was a monumental figure in the growth of a side that played in a major tournament for the first time in their history earlier in 2025.
From the word go, there was always something special about Fishlock.
She started her playing career with hometown club Cardiff City Ladies, now Gwalia United, and swiftly caught the eye – making her first-team debut at 15.
Having captained Wales Under-19s, Fishlock earned her senior bow against Switzerland – a nation where almost two decades later the final touch of gloss would be dabbed on what was to be a glittering career – in 2006.
Only two years later, Fishlock made the decision to join Dutch side AZ Alkmaar and became the first overseas player in the Eredivisie.
Despite some struggles in the Netherlands, Fishlock was part of a side that claimed back-to-back Eredivisie titles, and it was a sign of things to come at club level.
Upon returning to Bristol, she was named Women’s Super League (WSL) Players’ Player of the Season in her second campaign and enjoyed even more success in Australia soon after.
Having joined Melbourne Victory, Fishlock starred as the Victoria-based side reached two Grand Finals – winning their first title in 2013.
An eye-catching move to Seattle Reign in 2013 proved to be the catalyst in making Fishlock a star on the global stage.
She has helped the club win three NWSL Shield titles, and even during her loan stints away from the American side, of which there have been six in total, success still followed.
Indeed, the midfielder tasted further league glory with Glasgow, Melbourne City, Frankfurt and Lyon – winning the Champions League with each of the latter two sides.
But the glut of honours were never replicated on the international stage.
Fishlock wasted no time in becoming a key cog under Andy Beattie, Adrian Tucker, Jarmo Matikainen, Jayne Ludlow, Gemma Grainger and most recently Wilkinson.
The date 3 December 2024 will be forever etched into Wales history.
Following a 1-1 draw between the sides in Cardiff four days earlier, goals from Hannah Cain and Carrie Jones earned Rhian Wilkinson’s side a 2-1 victory over the Republic of Ireland in Dublin to ensure Wales would at long last break their tournament duck.
It was the pinnacle for a team who had seen icons including Laura McAllister, Jayne Ludlow and Helen Ward – and Neville Southall, Ryan Giggs, Ian Rush and Mark Hughes to name a few on the men’s side – all fail to achieve their tournament dream with Wales.
On the eve of the 2025 Euros, Fishlock told BBC Sport Wales: “A big narrative around my entire career internationally has been, ‘Can I get to a major tournament?’ and ‘Can we get to a major tournament?’ We’ve been so close so many times.
Even in the aftermath of their humbling 3-0 defeat by the Netherlands in their competition opener in Switzerland, Fishlock was intent on ensuring further progress was the target.
“This is the level now, right?” she said. “We’ve got to get used to this real fast.”
Not content with adding one more piece of history to her ever-increasing list of achievements, Fishlock again took centre stage as she netted a 13th-minute equaliser in Wales’ second group stage match against France in St Gallen – the first goal the women’s side had scored in a major tournament.
Aged 38 years and 176 days, the strike made Fishlock the oldest scorer in women’s Euro finals history.
It was as fitting as it was deserved, given the weight of expectation she had carried on her shoulders for the vast majority of her time in the red of Wales.
It also demonstrated there was immense quality to go with her commendable longevity – with Fishlock playing in 67% of the 245 international matches ever played by the Welsh women’s side.
Recent Welsh success has brought with it increased expectation and stronger opposition – with Wales’ nine-game winless run across their Euro and Nations League A fixtures in 2025 serving as proof that they are now on a whole new level when it comes to competing with the world’s big guns.
Fishlock has never shied away from using her profile to speak out on her beliefs having come out as gay.
In 2018, Fishlock – who married former team-mate Tziarra King in 2023 – was awarded an MBE for services to women’s football and the LGBT community.
Before the men’s World Cup in Qatar, Fishlock opened up on the importance of visibility amid concerns over the 2022 tournament host nation’s record on gay rights.
It came after she had described her experience at school as “hell on earth” because of abuse she received over her sexuality.
Nevertheless, Fishlock remained determined to use her platform to help educate others.
Speaking in 2019, Fishlock said: “I’m not the only one that gets abused. I am not the only one that gets comments thrown at them.
“It’s come round to my family and my sisters and my mum and my dad, so when I made that decision, you know I have to think about other people as well otherwise it’s very selfish of me.
Following the friendly between Wales and the United States of America in July 2023, Fishlock embraced USA icon and Seattle Reign team-mate Megan Rapinoe – who is also openly gay.
The pair wore each other’s national team shirt and posed for photographs – making sure their support for LGBT rights was front and centre of the pictures’ message.
Such has been Fishlock’s impact on the game itself, a mural covering the playing area of a five-a-side football pitch in Splott, Cardiff, was unveiled in June to celebrate her impact on football, equality and representation.
The Red Wall will get the chance to celebrate Fishlock’s efforts when Wales host Australia and Poland in friendlies later this month.
One thing is for certain, the void left by Fishlock is unlikely ever to be filled, or her achievements surpassed.

Jonathan Rea says he is “at peace” that his decision to retire from World Superbike racing at the end of the season is “100% the correct one” after the stresses and struggles of the past few years made competing in the sport less enjoyable.
The six-time series champion has had time to reflect since announcing in August his decision to bring the curtain down on his distinguished career and is now preparing for his final race weekend in the championship at Jerez in Spain this weekend, 17 years after he made his bow.
Rea is the most successful rider in World Superbikes, collecting those titles as a Kawasaki rider in consecutive years between 2015 and 2020, securing 119 race wins and 264 podiums.
He was unable to add to those successes during a difficult past couple of years as part of the Pata Yamaha set-up.
“At the time it was a really hard decision to come to and there were many emotions involved,” said Rea in an interview with BBC Sport NI’s Stephen Watson.
“The last few races the weight has been taken off my shoulders. I’ve always had that nervous excitement throughout my career, but it turned more into stress and I wasn’t enjoying that side of it.
“These past 18 months have been marred with injuries and setbacks and tough times. Issues like that are always worth it when you’re winning but it’s been a struggle these past couple of years.
The Northern Ireland rider explains that he is looking forward to “life at a quieter pace” but wants to “finish in a good way” in Spain.
“I want to finish this chapter safe and sound and enjoy the fruits of our labour. It’s been a massive career.
“While I was continuing to look ahead to the next race I did always manage to enjoy the moment. You’re in this bubble of always wanting more and I think since the announcement and being at peace with that it’s easier to look back at what we did achieve and feel incredibly proud.
“I’ve got a great life away from the circuit – with my wife, the kids, family, and these last four or five years being back home in Northern Ireland.”
The 38-year-old added that he was humbled by the reaction to his decision as he was inundated with messages from across motorcycle sport and beyond.
“I didn’t really expect the flood of messages from everywhere. Messages from the fans and from your peer group, rivals you raced against every weekend, MotoGP riders.
“It’s really nice. I never felt I would get that kind of reaction. It was amazing and I felt extremely proud.
“And while we say it’s the last race, is it ever the last race? I don’t know what’s next.
Rea says he is weighing up his options for the future and considering a number of possible options.
“I’m not sure exactly what’s next. I’ve been blessed to have opportunities to keep riding. I had a manufacturer ask me into a meeting room to try and tempt me out of retirement.
“There are a few projects. I’ve been considering doing some World Endurance racing, been considering doing some test riding.
“I’m not a guy who can just be at peace sat at home on the sofa. I need something to do – my talent, my life is Superbike, is racing, is motorbikes, and I still have that passion. Whether it’s competition or just riding a bike I’m not exactly sure yet, but for sure I’ll be riding in some shape or form.
“That might even be off-road – doing some other disciplines of riding or going back to my roots that I enjoyed so much. I’ve still got a lot of adrenaline to fix.”
The County Antrim racer says for him his first world crown was the “most special”.
“I think your first world title is always the most special. It’s what everybody dreams of, to be a world champion in their discipline. It just kept snowballing and to win six titles in a row just showed how competitive we were as a team, not making mistakes and always working hard to improve.
“Because when you set the benchmark and the level, everyone was improving, but we kept finding ways to improve ourselves as well.
Rea secured eighth and seventh place finishes while deputising for the injured Casey Stoner in the Repsol Honda team in 2012 but says he can have no regrets about not competing in the series as a suitable offer never came his way.
“I can’t regret something that was never really a realistic option. Back in the early days when I was with Honda I got offered the chance to ride the open class bike, a ‘B’ class ride within the MotoGP championship, but that was never on my radar.
“When you’re competing at world championship level you want at least the competitive tools to fight with the best guys in the world.
“I’ve always been very fortunate to be mentioned about going to MotoGP or having talks with MotoGP. My management has always pushed hard and had the right conversations but I’ve never had a contract in front of me to go there.
“So I can’t really regret it but I did get that opportunity in 2012 with the most iconic team and bike in GP history. I feel like I ticked the box at least, got good points, raced against one of the greatest of all time, Valentino Rossi. I had that experience and really enjoyed it.”
Away from the track, Rea received recognition for his achievements in the form of finishing second in the 2017 Sports Personality of the Year award, receiving around 3,000 fewer public votes than the winner, renowned athlete Sir Mo Farah.
“It [SPOTY] was incredible. When I was second it was amazing, at an awards ceremony that people have to vote for.
“I got a huge vote which we can be proud of, for Northern Ireland, but also for the motorcycle world to share the spotlight with mainstream sport, was really nice and proud to put motorcycling on the map.”
Rea expects his final weekend in World Superbike to be a special one.
“I imagine it’s going to be a weekend full of emotion. It’ll be nice to have all my family there.
“I’m retiring but the last round of the series everyone wants to finish well because it’s the one that you remember throughout the off-season.
World number one Carlos Alcaraz says players are misunderstood when they want to play in exhibition tournaments alongside the demanding tennis calendar.
Alcaraz, 22, was among those critical of the workload in Asia, where some players struggled physically, with the Spaniard saying he would consider skipping mandatory events to prioritise his health.
He is top seed at this week’s lucrative Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia, a six-man tournament from 15 to 18 October that also includes Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
There is a reported $4.5m (£3.4m) in prize money on offer at the exhibition, with some players also likely to have been paid seven-figure sums to appear.
Reports say the winner could take home up to $6m (£4.5m).
But Alcaraz feels that shorter-format events such as the Six Kings Slam are less gruelling than tour competitions, and therefore make fewer demands on the players.
He said: “A lot of players are talking about the calendar, how tight it is with a lot of tournaments, tournaments of two weeks, and then making excuses with exhibitions.
“It’s a different format, different situation playing exhibitions than the official tournaments, 15, 16 days in row, having such a high focus and demanding physically.
“We’re just having fun for one or two days and playing some tennis, and that’s great, and why we choose the exhibitions.
“I understand [the criticism], but sometimes people don’t understand us, our opinions. It’s not really demanding mentally [compared with] when we’re having such long events like two weeks or two and a half weeks.”
Alcaraz won his eighth title of the season in Tokyo last month despite an ankle injury sustained in his opening match that prompted him to pull out of the Shanghai Masters.
He will play in Saudi Arabia despite the injury not being fully healed. “Everything’s OK,” said Alcaraz. “I’ve been recovering the ankle as much as I can.
“I don’t feel 100% – the doubts are there when I’m moving on court, but it improved a lot and I’m going to compete and perform well in the Six Kings Slam.”
