Early this morning, our Politics team reported that there is to be a roll-out of new cancer treatment technology as NHS hospitals.

4, 500 more patients will benefit from the new linear accelerator (LINAC) treatment machines, according to the government, by March 2027. From August, they will be implemented in 28 hospitals across England, supported by £70 million in funding to advance the country’s cancer care.

Momentaneously, as he tensely wrestles during his official tour, his wife slaps him.

The moment Emmanuel Macron’s wife appears to slap him during a heated argument on an official tour was revealed by our World News team earlier today.

Macron’s profile can be seen through the door of his official plane in footage taken yesterday evening at Hanoi airport. His wife Brigette raises a hand to his face and appears to strike him seconds later. Before the couple begin to descend the staircase, the French president appears surprised and makes a wave outside. Then, Emmanuel Macron makes an attempt to hold her hand, but she decides against doing so and instead presses onto the walkway’s handrail.

A source close to Macron’s conversation with French news agency BFMTV dismissed the incident as merely a “bickering” between a married couple.

The President and his wife had one last moment to unwind before the trip started by having a little fun, they continued.

Skydiver Jade Damarell’s agonizing final days after her “boyfriend split to tragic letter”

Our news team received new information about Jade Damarell’s final days before she tragically plummeted to her death this morning.

In a separate investigation, the 32-year-old thrill-seeking Ms. Damarell, a highly experienced skydiver, was described as an “unimaginable loss.” The woman, who had completed more than 400 jumps before falling to the ground at Wrefords’ Farm in Shotton, County Durham, instantly died. At the scene, she was declared dead.

According to what it is known, Ms. Damarell, a resident of Caerphilly, South Wales, had broken up with her boyfriend the day before her fatal skydive.

She had been dating 26-year-old skydiving enthusiast Ben Goodfellow for about six to eight months after splitting from her husband. According to MailOnline, the couple had been renting a double room at a property close to the airfield for a while.

In a growing conflict, US President Donald Trump’s administration has prohibited Harvard University from enrolling international students, which has the potential to have an impact on a significant royal, who will be a future Queen.

A controversial move by Donald Trump has left a major royal’s future in the US hanging in the balance. The US president’s administration has revoked Harvard University’s ability to enrol international students in its escalating battle with the Ivy League school. It says thousands of students must transfer to other schools or leave the country.

The Department of Homeland Security announced the action, accusing Harvard of creating an unsafe campus environment by allowing “anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators” to assault Jewish students on campus. It also accused Harvard of co-ordinating with the Chinese Communist Party, contending the school had hosted and trained members of a Chinese paramilitary group as recently as 2024.

The situation may have an impact on Princess Elisabeth, the Belgian heir to the throne, despite a judge’s temporary restraining order to halt the ban. The future Queen may get caught up in the immigration ban that applies to foreign students, but she has been attending Harvard for two years and is planning to return.

Xavier Baert, the Belgian Royal Palace’s director of communications, stated: “We are looking into the situation to see what kind of effect this decision might have on the princess, or not. Right now, it’s too early to say.

According to Mr. Baert, Princess Elisabeth, 23, has finished her first year of a Harvard graduate school program and will spend the summer in Belgium.

The princess, who was born to King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, is pursuing a Master’s degree in public policy. When she ascends to the Belgian throne, the 23-year-old will become the country’s first Queen regent. When Belgium introduced absolute primogeniture in 1991, she is ahead of her brothers in the line of succession by having two brothers and a sister.

When King Albert II abdicated for health reasons, her father, King Phillipe, became king in 2013. She attended Welsh university known as “Hippie Hogwarts,” UWC Atlantic College.

The southern Welsh coast’s St. Donat Castle, a 12th-century structure with classrooms and a library, woodland, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and historic buildings for the campus.

Students are offered activities and subjects like Tai Chi, leadership and Tibetan literature alongside traditional classes. It was founded in 1962 by German educationalist Kurt Hahn, who also set up Gordonstoun boarding school in Scotland, where King Charles attended.

Elisabeth describes herself as a passionate sportswoman who enjoys skiing, scuba diving, and cooking and speaks several languages. She graduated from Oxford University’s Lincoln College last year before emigrating to America and majoring in history and politics.

Over the past year and a half, Harvard president Alan Garber stated in a statement that the institution has implemented numerous changes to its governance, including a comprehensive strategy to combat antisemitism.

He rebuffed concerns about retaliation that the university would not change its “core, legally-protected principles” Harvard as stated that it will respond to allegations that House Republicans first made about their cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party at a later time.

Megan McKenna, a former TOWIE star, has lost her beloved pet dog Daisy, who passed away at the age of 17 with her footballer fiance Oliver Burke.

Megan McKenna has admitted she’s been “hit hard” after losing a beloved family member. The former TOWIE star, 32, who now lives in Germany after giving birth to her son, Landon, told her followers on Instagram that she’d lost her precious pooch Daisy, who has sadly died, aged 17.

Explaining that Daisy had been with the reality star for all the major milestones in her life, Megan shared a selection of snaps of her pet, including one of her dog resting on the Celebrity X Factor star’s baby bump. Captioning the emotional montage, Megan explained that Daisy died in her arms, sharing: “I’ve been putting this post off for a few weeks because it becomes real when I do. But I lost my first baby Daisy and it hit me so hard.

She passed away while I was surrounded by her. My mother and sister are right next to me. When she needed some comfort, I would sing her to sleep like I always did.

Even writing this out makes me cry. Thank you, Daisy, for supporting me through every milestone from my teenage years to my 20s and even 30s.

You still leapt and ran around like a young lamb at the age of 17. I can’t even express how much my little one will be missed. You helped me through a lot of difficult times as a child. Without your little fluffy self right there with me, I couldn’t have stayed in my own home.

My little bubs, you gave it a right turn. You and Nanny andamp, Granddad are playing in heaven right now, Megan continued.

She thanked Daisy for teaching her how to be a “good mum” to son Landon, saying, “Thankyou for teaching me how to be a mummy.” Because of you, your small meals, bathing, walkies, and cuddles, I’m a pro with Landon.

Daisy, you were the best. You were the first thing I wanted. You will always be dear to me. I’ll always be sorely missed you.

Famous Megan’s followers told her they were thinking of her as they expressed condolences in response to her sad news. Ella Morgan, the married At First Sight actress, said, “I’m so sorry Meg. I’m sending you all my love, thoughts, and hugs during a time you all can only imagine being so emotionally difficult. Oliver Burke, the reality star’s fiance, responded with two love heart emojis.

Although the birth was a “rollercoaster,” Megan and Oliver said they will definitely do it again after the birth.

Speaking about the couple’s plans to have more children, she told The Sun: “I have always wanted kids. Since I was young, I wanted to have a family and get married. I’m very family-oriented.

Going through the IVF stages is a real rollercoaster, but it’s the best decision we’ve ever made, and we’ve got another embryo on ice ready to go.

Katie Price reportedly reportedly grew enthralled when she wed Peter Andre because of how easily she managed to reportedly crush Victoria Beckham, her arch-nemesis, in the process.

It’s 20 years this month since Katie Price and Peter Andre got secretly engaged after a lot of heavy petting in the Australian outback.

The former It couple met on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in 2004 and went on to tie the knot in September 2005 before welcoming son Junior, 19, and daughter Princess, 17.

Unfortunately, their split in 2009 resulted in one briefing being biased against the other. Katie also bravely battled Peter in her battle, but she also fought bravely in other battles.

The headlines of the decade were also full of talk of her infamous feud with Victoria Beckham, who was then a Spice Girl. Their beef first started cooking in 2000 when Katie got jealous about Victoria’s collaboration with her then-boyfriend, Dane Bowers.

And the following year it got even more bitter when Katie claimed Posh and her mate sang Who Let The Dogs Out at her in Manchester United’s players’ lounge.

Victoria upped the ante by branding Katie ‘vile’ on national TV, before her nemesis sniped, “She’s got a great-looking husband, a little boy, and all the money in the world. She hasn’t got the looks, but you can’t have everything.”

But despite Victoria’s short-loved attempt to become a solo star aside, by the time Katie met Peter Andre on I’m A Celebrity, there was no denying that Brand Beckham was packing more of a punch.

However, things changed when Katie and Peter got married and purchased the rights to the wedding in 1999 for almost twice the amount Victoria and David received.

In her book Katie and Peter: Too Much In Love, author Emily Herbert wrote that the cost of their wedding was nearly twice as high as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, a few years earlier.

“Even the brightest stars in the Hollywood A-list were no match for Peter Andre and Katie Price.

Given Katie and Victoria’s conflict, and given the couple’s animosity despite Katie’s obnoxious remarks, Katie could be forgiven for feeling a little gleeful, the Beckhams’ wedding had been purchased some years earlier for just £1 million.

There was no lack of extravagant wedding. In a pink Cinderella-style carriage driven by six white horses, Kate saw her arrive at Highclere Castle in Berkshire, also known as Downton Abbey.

She wore a princess-style pink tulle and satin dress by Isabell Kristensen that had an enormous seven-metre train and was not afraid to make a statement.

And her headwear was equally as impressive thanks to her foot-high tiara. Doves were apparently released from the skirt of her enormous gown before she and Peter took their place of thrones covered in pink and lilac flowers.

The Beckhams also spent £500, 000 on their OTT bash at Ireland’s Luttrellstown Castle, where the bride donned a £77, 000 Vera Wang gown and a £25, 000 gold and diamond tiara.

Later, they altered into matching purple ensembles so they could match the carpets, and they baked a cake topped with sword-wielding naked figures.

A single white dove was released after saying “I do,” and a V. B. flag was raised above the castle. D for their then-born sons Brooklyn and David, respectively. Needless to say, neither received a welcome invitation to the other’s big day.

In order to promote Victoria’s 2000 single, Out of My Mind, Katie and Victoria first met as friends while David and Dane were touring the country.

However, Katie claimed that it “changed “him” after splitting up with the Beckhams. Why can’t we emulate Victoria and David, he said? She said, “Like the way they were in love, which I believed we were,”

He simply continued to compare everything. He worked for Victoria, in my opinion, and it seemed strange. He was always leaving with her. Years of barbs followed, with Katie accusing VB of having “horrible teeth.”

Posh’s rep even accused her of changing a flight after learning that she was traveling with Katie, which sparked a rather clumsy response.

Victoria doesn’t get drawn into public tittle-tattle with anyone, let alone her, the spokesman told the Daily Star. It’s not in her typical way. Unfortunately, she’s far too busy being a success in America to worry about this.

Ferne McCann has been making money on Vinted for years after clearing her wardrobe of items that sold from as little as £4

Ferne McCann is among the millions who turn old clothes from their wardrobes into cash. The former TOWIE star has been actively selling items on Vinted from her designer collection, including dresses and shoes being sold for a fraction of their original retail price.

Under the username @fernemccann, she has nearly 100 items listed on Vinted. Judging by Ferne’s review history, the mum-of-two has been making extra money from this side gig since 2022 and has achieved an almost flawless five-star rating on the app.

Ferne can be seen modelling some of the garments. The telly star has also posted photos of the clothes hanging from a door or lay across the floor.

She’s cleared out some items from her wardrobe including a grey jumper from H&M that fetched £6. Her most recent listing is a Day 6 Satin Maxi Dress that was snapped up for £35.

In one listing, Ferne is sporting a brown, medium-sized Bershka dress that she’s hoping to get £17 for. Some of her more expensive pieces include a small Karen Millen top with an £85 price tag, reports Essex Live.

Ferne’s priciest item is a pair of size six, black and white studded Valentino heels that are available for £180. An orange cord from Secret Sewing Rooms, priced at £45, was posted six months ago but has yet to find a buyer, as reported by What’s the Jam.

The 34-year-old has already managed to sell a grey Zara skirt for a fiver and make £4 from a yellow Pretty Little Thing bucket hat as well as another £4 from a white H&M top. However, not all sales were small change, with a pair of white Dr Marten boots fetching £69 and a pink Self Portrait dress, which she appeared to wear to the races, selling for £80.

As well as her own wardrobe, the mum has cleared out some of her children’s old clothes by selling on some of their designer gear from £18. These include a grey Kenzo baby romper and a red and white Burberry polo dress.

Vinted has an estimated 100 million worldwide. Specifically in the UK, there are around 16 million users, the app reports.

Ferne isn’t the only celeb to sell items on the platform. Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague and TV personality Katie Price are among the famous faces that are known to have accounts on the app.

So, how does Vinted work?

Vinted is a platform that enables people to buy and sell pre-loved items online – typically clothing, but it also includes a range of other categories like homeware. It operates as a marketplace where sellers list items with photos and descriptions, and buyers browse and make purchases.

Once an item is sold, the seller receives a prepaid shipping label and has a set time (usually 5 days) to post the item to the buyer. Vinted handles the payment, and once the buyer confirms receipt of the item, the funds are released to the seller’s Vinted balance and they can then transfer this into a bank account.

Ferne first shot to fame on TOWIE in 2013, before taking part in ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2015, alongside fellow reality stars Vicky Pattison and Spencer Matthews.

In 2017, she launched her own reality series, First Time Mum, which documented her journey as a single mum. The show was later renamed ‘My Family and Me’ after the birth of her second child, but it ended after 13 series in 2024.
