Following the Liverpool FC trophy parade, Paul Doyle admitted to driving his car into a crowd of people.
The 53-year-old is accused of wounding herself with intent, grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, attempting to cause GBH with intent, and dangerous driving.
On Monday, just before 18:00 BST, 79 people were hurt on Water Street in the city center.
Mr. Doyle spoke incessantly only to confirm his age and birthdate, but he seemed emotional.
He listened to the proceedings while spending the majority of the hearing sitting in the dock with his head down.
Today, neither his family nor friends decided to appear in court. As the charges were read to him, the defendant sat down with his head down.
Mr. Doyle was not required to provide a plea. Judge Paul Healey confirmed that there have been a number of reporting limitations.
On Bank Holiday Monday, hundreds of thousands of jubilant Liverpool fans flocked to the city center and paraded along the 10-mile (16km) parade route as the club won its 20th top-flight title and second Premier League title.
A car struck a pram carrying a boy, and the boy was unharmed when it spun several meters down the street.
More than $ 30 000 has been raised from a fundraising campaign for those affected by the incident, including a £10, 000 donation from the charity foundation for former football player Jamie Carragher.
33-year-old Love Island All Stars winner made an interview with This Morning about the potentially life-threatening condition.

Gabby Allen has lifted the lid on a frightening health ordeal she faced during her childhood years. The Love Island All Stars winner, 33, said doctors even feared she’d never walk again amid the potentially debilitating diagnosis.
“I was around 11 or 12 years old,” she told presenters on ITV’s This Morning. “I was actually on holiday and my dad was teaching me how to dive, and my mum was like, ‘Wait a minute, she’s a bit wonky.’ And then, straight away when we got home, they took me to the doctors.”
Soon after receiving her diagnosis, Gabby was discovered to have scoliosis, a condition that causes spine twists or curves. Other symptoms include uneven shoulders, uncomfortable clothing, and a rib or hip protruding on one side, though this may only be obvious on the outside.

According to the NHS, scoliosis can occur in children between the ages of 10 and 15 but can also affect people between the ages of 10 and 15. Although treatment is not always required, Gabby was quickly advised to have surgery because her condition was rapidly progressing.
And because it was expanding so quickly, Gabby continued, to which presenter Rochelle Humes remarked, “You once thought, or you were told, that you might not ever walk again… That is quite something to hear.”
The scariest thing for me, in her opinion, was that I would never dance again, Gabby responded. Because I wanted to do that, I was told, “I need to be able to dance no matter what I do.

“So, I wasn’t given a lot of information before entering; obviously, my parents didn’t want to scare me,” I suppose. I had a 10-hour procedure, which was exactly what I had, and they drained my entire spine from top to bottom.
Rods, nuts, bolts, and everything else are inside my entire spine. And you must also agree to a waiver that, as you may well know, there is a chance you won’t be able to walk once more.

Although I did need to retrain my walking, I was dancing in six months. Nine months later, I won ballet competitions. I believe that, along with strength training, helped me become as resilient as I am right now.
After going through a lot of self-destructive behavior, Gabby has previously mentioned that taking a personal training course was her “turning point” in life. Sadly, her father passed away just two weeks before her 21st birthday, which is unfortunate.
According to the Mirror, she wrote in a 2024 Instagram post: “I used to go through a cycle of binge eating and starving. I used to obsessively count and allow myself very low calories, then get so hungry I’d binge on SH***.

“I once had to follow fad diets like juice plus before bingeing.” I used to go out and consume four bottles of wine before returning home, have a fry-up the following day, and not move a muscle. I lacked structure, motivation, discipline, and drive, and I was miserable.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been signed by Real Madrid until 2031 under a contract until 2031.
The 26-year-old England international’s contract at Anfield was about to expire, but Madrid paid a fee to bring him in sooner so he could compete in the Club World Cup, according to the Spanish club’s statement on Friday.
Alexander-Arnold, a right-back who recently won the Premier League with Liverpool, graduated from the youth academy and won the Champions League in 2019.
Additionally, he made 352 appearances for the club in the Premier League in 2020.
The Spaniard has been appointed as Real Madrid’s new coach in place of Carlo Ancelotti, along with former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.
Due to his close ties to Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold’s announcement that he was leaving the club attracted the disapproval of some supporters and was booed during the season’s final game.
He was greeted with a round of applause when he won the Premier League trophy at Anfield last Sunday after club figures like former manager Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah urged fans to remember his contribution to Liverpool’s success over the past six years.
The defender is a member of Real Madrid, which hasn’t won a significant trophy this season.
Alexander-Arnold has occasionally received criticism for his defensive concentration, but he also has excellent passing vision and attacking edge down the right flank.
Real Madrid has struggled at right-back this year, with winger Lucas Vazquez having to deal with a torrid time out of position while Dani Carvajal is recovering from a long-term knee injury.
On June 18 in Miami, Alexander-Arnold could make his Real Madrid debut when they take on Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal in the first Club World Cup game.
Serbia and Russia have come to an agreement to jointly investigate allegations that Serbian-made weapons were given to Ukraine after Belgrade was accused of lying about reports that Serbian-made ammunition had reached Kyiv.
Serbia’s defense sector is accused of passing weapons to Ukraine through NATO-linked nations like the Czech Republic, Poland, and Bulgaria, as well as unnamed African states, according to Russian foreign intelligence agency SVR, which described the alleged transfers as “stab in the back.”
In a statement released on Thursday, SVR stated that “they have one clear goal: to kill and maim Russian military personnel and the civilian population.”
According to the Russian statement, “It seems that the employees of the Serbian defense industry and their patrons have completely forgotten who their real friends are and who their enemies are because of the desire of fraternal Slavic peoples,” the statement said.
Joint investigation
Aleksandar Vucic, the president of Serbia, confirmed that a working group with Russian officials had been established to verify the allegations, but he refuted some of them.
Vucic told the state broadcaster RTS that “some of the things that have been said are untrue,” adding that he had spoken with Vladimir Putin about the situation during a trip to Moscow earlier this month.
Belgrade’s tradition of cooperating with Russia and its desire to acclimate to the European Union continues to be a tiger’s foot. Serbia has resisted joining Western sanctions despite condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at the UN.
Serbia agreed to provide arms to Ukraine, despite the country’s official declaration of military neutrality, according to a Pentagon document that was leaked in 2023.
Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, Serbia has exported at least $908 million worth of ammunition to Ukraine, according to The Financial Times in 2024.
Serbia’s weapons sector produces weapons that are both compatible with those used by Ukrainian and Russian forces and is heavily influenced by Soviet designs.
Robert Fico, the prime minister of Slovakia, has criticised the judge who found the governor of the country’s central bank guilty of corruption.
The combative premier reacted on Friday to Petr Kazimir’s conviction as his former finance minister, suggesting that the verdict was motivated by politics and that Specialised Criminal Court judge Milan Cisarik should face criminal charges.
Since regaining control in 2023, Fico has dissolved the police and prosecutor branches that were established to investigate corruption between 2012 and 2020.
Kazimir was found guilty and fined $200, 000 ($226,500) on Thursday for bribing a tax official while Fico’s previous government was in power. He denied any wrongdoing and said he plans to file an appeal, claiming that the long-standing allegations were made up.
Peter Kazimir was a member of Fico’s previous government when he was accused of bribery.
Even a law school student must see fatal nonsense in the verdict, the Slovak leader said on Thursday, “sooner question whether the judge’s decision should have served the opposition’s political objectives to harm the ruling parties.”
“I can’t help but feel that the judge’s inquiry into the possibility of a number of criminal acts and the intended purpose of the ruling is justified.”
Fico’s remarks were not addressed by the court. The For Open Justice (ZOJ) NGO warned that “direct political pressure on the judiciary can also be felt when members of the government make public statements.”
Revenge
In the wake of the controversies surrounding Jan Kuciak’s assassination in 2018, Fico resigned from power. The former prime minister and his inner circle are suspected of having a network of corruption, according to the new government’s investigation.
Fico frequently argued that the measures were motivated by politics. He immediately began tearing up the units and changing the criminal code to lower corruption penalties when he came back to power in late 2023.
He has been accused of committing retaliation against those who are being investigated by his circle by critics.
Kazimir was the first former Fico minister to face legal action when he was first accused of paying the country’s tax office’s chief a bribe of 48, 000 euros ($54, 360) in 2017-18 in connection with an audit of a number of private companies in April of that year.
Five teams go into the Premiership’s dramatic final day with a chance of joining table-toppers Bath in this season’s play-offs – and of winning the title at Twickenham in two weeks’ time.
Leicester, Sale, Bristol, Gloucester and Saracens could remarkably all still finish anywhere from second to sixth as they go into the weekend separated by just five points after 17 matches.
Johann van Graan’s Bath side have come back from last season’s final defeat against Northampton with a vengeance, winning 14 games this term and leading the table by 15 points.
Such is Bath’s dominance they secured first place and a home semi-final at the Recreation Ground with three rounds of games to go, and will play whoever finishes fourth on Friday, 6 June, while second will host third on Saturday, 7 June.
Second: Leicester – 56 points, 10 wins

For the Tigers, the task is simple – beat Newcastle at home and second place in the table, along with a home semi-final, is theirs. One point is enough to secure the top four.
The league’s most successful side are on the prowl for their record-extending 12th title and have a two-point cushion over third-placed Sale.
Leicester have the most amount of wiggle room if they do lose and drop points, as at least three results would need to go against them for them to drop out of the top four.
Third: Sale – 54 points, 11 wins

If the Tigers do slip up, the Sharks will be circling.
Sale visit Exeter, with the Chiefs already assured of a ninth-placed finish and therefore have nothing to play for.
A repeat of December’s win over the Chiefs and Alex Sanderson’s team will cement third place regardless of other results. A loss with two bonus points would still be enough for the top four.
It’s been 19 years since the club’s sole Premiership title.
But the Manchester side have a trick up their sleeve in that they have the most league wins of any club aside from Bath, meaning if they end the season on the same number of points as any of their competitors, they would finish above them.
The Sharks also have England fly-half George Ford arriving at the end of the season in stunning form as they have won three of their past four Premiership games.
Fourth: Bristol – 53 points, nine wins

Currently occupying the final play-off spot are Pat Lam’s Bristol Bears and they face a highly unpredictable Harlequins side.
Victory would guarantee a top-four finish but anything less than that and the Bears will be looking over their shoulders, with Gloucester and Saracens ready to strike.
Ashton Gate holds a special place in the hearts of Quins fans, as the scene of their epic semi-final fightback victory at ‘Bristanbul’ in 2021 en route to claiming their second Premiership title.
Fifth: Gloucester – 51 points, nine wins

Gloucester go into the game knowing nothing less than victory over reigning champions Northampton will do.
Do that and they need Sale to lose without any bonus points or Bristol just to lose and they could sneak into the top four at the finish line.
In what would be an astonishing story, the Cherry and Whites could mathematically still secure a home semi-final at Kingsholm if they all suffer defeat and pick up no bonus points.
If they were to secure a bonus-point victory over Saints they would jump up to 56 points, level with Leicester.
Given both teams would have 10 wins, Gloucester would finish above the Tigers due to their superior points difference (currently Gloucester +74, Leicester +72).
Sixth: Saracens – 51 points, nine wins

Saracens host Bath at StoneX Stadium with their destiny out of their hands as they bid to avoid missing out on the top four for only the third time since 2009.
Those two occasions were 2020, when they were relegated in the wake of the salary cap scandal, and the following season when they played in the second tier.
It has been a season of rebuilding for Mark McCall and his coaching staff after the departures of legendary players including Owen Farrell and Billy and Mako Vunipola last summer, while full-back Alex Goode has announced he would retire at the end of the season after making a Sarries record 400th appearance earlier this month.
Their play-off hopes were struck a huge blow at Northampton a fortnight ago with Tarek Haffar’s last-second try stealing a 28-24 victory for the Saints that left the Men in Black’s hopes dangling.
Their task is similar to that of Gloucester, as they go into the game with the same number of points and wins as the Cherry and Whites, but they have a substantially lower points difference of +30.
