Romeo Beckham risked getting a fine after parking his £200,000 black Range Rover on double yellow lines. After spending days celebrating his dad David’s milestone 50th birthday, Romeo returned to normal life as he stepped out for a smoothie at a coffee shop in central London.

As he made a pit stop for a drink this week, the 22-year-old appeared to be deeply persuaded. The actor only briefly left his car after returning with his drink. Romeo was seen outgoing wearing a plain beige t-shirt, white shorts, and a backwards black cap in photos shared online. Additionally, he donned a white watch and silver Nike sneakers.

The typical fine for parking on double yellow lines in London is £16. If paid within 14 days of the issue date, the steep fine can be reduced to £80.

Romeo’s outing comes amid a huge family feud involving Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. The couple were rumoured to be attending David’s 50th birthday celebrations but were nowhere to be seen.

Without Brooklyn, David and his family celebrated their birthdays at home and at his favorite Parisian restaurant. David’s close friends from the A-list met at Core by Clare Smyth for a huge bash when they returned to London.

Brooklyn snubbed the celebrations and also failed to acknowledge his father on social media. Meanwhile, Romeo recently posted a loved-up message to his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who is at the centre of the feud with the former footballer’s brother, Brooklyn.

Brooklyn, who allegedly dated Kim in 2016, allegedly swerved his father’s 50th birthday in protest of rumors that his wife, Nicola, is “controlling” the self-proclaimed “nutter in the kitchen,” who married the billionaire heiress three years ago.

The drama is said to have kicked off when Romeo started dating Kim Turnbull, with reports saying wannabe chef, Brooklyn, was adamant he would not attend any family functions as long as the model and DJ was there.

Romeo and Kim showed up for his father’s big day on Saturday, but Romeo and Kim did, and Romeo posted a love-up photo of the couple at the Beckhams’ palatial pile in the Cotswolds with the caption “My world.”

Romeo and Kim first appeared on dates in the summer of last year, but they soon made the official move in November with numerous outings to glamorous red carpets.

Meanwhile, a source recently told the Mirror that Brooklyn and Nicola are “devastated” David refused to see them privately ahead of the birthday celebrations.

According to recent reports, Nicola’s husband reportedly resisted attending any family gatherings, which has a pattern of starting arguments. Romeo is upset about the situation because Kim is to blame, according to reports.

However, Nicola and Brooklyn reportedly suffered other injuries as a result of the fallout. Before making a significant U-turn, Brooke reportedly had the idea of attending David’s birthday celebrations.

He claimed he had planned to meet his famous father “privately” to avoid Kim because the couple “have a problem with her.” They were allegedly instructed to attend the family gathering alone as opposed to “grabbing a quick coffee or breakfast” with the father-of-four.

Brooklyn Beckham breaks social media silence with admission about wife Nicola

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were no-shows at David Beckham’s 50th birthday party on the weekend amid rumours of a fierce feud within the family

Brooklyn Beckham has broken his social media silence following the reported fallout with his famous family. The wannabe chef, 26, and wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, failed to turn up for David Beckham’s 50th birthday party on the weekend following reports the former footballer’s firstborn is feuding with brother Romeo over his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who Brooklyn reportedly dated in 2016.

Actress, Nicola, is at the centre of the drama, with a source close to the Beckhams claiming Victoria and David are “done” with their daughter-in-law, who has been accused of ‘controlling’ her husband. However, taking to Instagram for the first time since his dad’s birthday, Brooklyn had only good things to say about her.

Praising the billionaire heiress for inspiring him to make his new hot sauce, he mused: “I was having a bottle of wine with my wife and she said: ‘You like hot sauce, you like design. Why don’t you make a hot sauce’.

Conceding he “didn’t really think much about it” until he watched a quick video”, he added: “I didn’t really think much about it and then I ordered a bunch of stuff and I watched a quick video on how to make a hot sauce. I then made the jalapeno one and I really liked it and I thought: ‘I really want to do something with this’.”

Brooklyn’s comments about his wife come after Nicola has been villainised by many following the couple’s no-show at David’s milestone.

Her Instagram post in which she flogs sun cream was hijacked on Tuesday, with several telling her she should be ashamed of herself for missing David’s big day.

However, a source tells the Mirror that the Transformers actress is actually the peacekeeper between Brooklyn and his family, saying: “Nicola encourages Brooklyn to see his family and is usually the reason Brooklyn does see his family. They are both devastated. They cannot believe that Victoria & David refused to see them privately after they travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship.”

They added: “As parents, it’s shocking that Victoria & David are behaving this way… instead of privately discussing the issue. Victoria and David (appear to) have no interest in finding a solution that works for everyone.”

Brooklyn allegedly didn’t want to go to the big knees-up in London and the Cotswolds at the weekend because of Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim. The self confessed “nutter in the kitchen” is said to have questioned the DJ’s motives with his brother even though Cruz denied Brooklyn used to date Kim.

The former footballer, who turns 50 in May, was joined by his youngest children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13 and their partners Jackie Apostel, 29, and Kim Turnbull, 25 - with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, notably absent

Romeo, Kim, Cruz and Harper all attended the birthday bash as Victoria shared snaps of her three kids and tagged them all – except Brooklyn.

Usually the mum-of-four will tell her firstborn that he was ‘missed’ if he can’t attend a family function, but made no mention of him at the weekend, leading fans to ask the artist formerly known as Posh Spice what was going on.

Prince Harry issues statement on ‘apathetic world’ days after explosive royal outburst

By in Entertainment News, News

Prince Harry made his first public appearance since his bombshell interview, in which he exposed his strained relationship with his father, the King.

Prince Harry has talked about “fearless leadership” in an “apathetic world” on his first public appearance since his bombshell BBC interview. The Duke of Sussex, on his son Prince Archie’s sixth birthday, travelled to Las Vegas for an onstage discussion to launch a new initiative for The Diana Award.

There he heralded young leaders for standing up for themselves, just days after speaking out about his relationship with his father, the King. Last week, after losing a Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements in the UK, the duke gave a sit-down interview in which he said the King will not speak to him and he does not know how much longer his father, who is being treated for cancer, has left.

However, he noted that young people have an “adequate openness about mental health” that “previous generations struggled to express” at the Las Vegas event. Sikander “Sonny” Khan, from Michigan, US, and Christina Williams, both from Jamaica, who were also recipients of the Diana Legacy Award, said: “We’re in a time where we are looking for more companies to be serving the greater good – the majority, not the minority.

Every single young person has potential, they say. In a world where there is more empathy than there is before, from the perspective of the younger generation… It’s the empathy, the authenticity, the truth, the honesty, and the fearlessness…

We need “when they stand up for themselves and stand up for their communities.” Fearless leadership is required. Therefore, I commend both of you and what you stand for.

The Diana Award, a charity founded in honor of Harry and the late Prince of Wales’s mother, is initiating business investment pledges to support youth leadership. According to Harry, “far too many young people are stifled from leadership pipelines because of the lack of truly inclusive and accessible pathways.”

They are already taking the lead, he continued. They exhibit an emotional intelligence, social awareness, and honesty regarding mental illness that earlier generations struggled to express.

We must stop underestimating them and start listening if we want a better future. What sets them apart isn’t just their boldness, but also their refusal to accept the status quo.

Harry made his appearance shortly after losing his appeal to the UK over his security arrangements, and he stated in the TV interview that he “can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK.”

Continue reading the article.

He expressed hopes of a reconciliation with his family and told the BBC his court defeat was a “good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up” and that he could not see how he could bring his wife and children safely back to the UK.

The duke argued that the monarchy’s members were a form of “control,” stating that, “Depending on what happens next, today’s decision set a new precedent for how security can be used to control family members. Effectively, it prevents other family members from having the freedom to choose a different life.

Eastern Europe bets on Trump – but at what cost?

By in News, World News
OPINION,

There is one region of the world where Donald Trump’s brand is remarkably resilient, despite his depreciating popularity abroad: Eastern Europe. The far-right populist George Simion, who favored the Trump-loving candidate for president in Romania, won over 40% of the vote and had a chance to win the presidency. Simion pledges to “give back to the Romanian people what was taken from them” in response to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” pledge. He is not a jerk.

Viktor Orban, the prime minister of the neighboring country, has taken on Trump’s European standard-bearer. Beyond politics, Trumpworld has an impact in the area. Donald Trump Jr. recently wrapped up his second tour of Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria, where he will rub shoulders with politicians, business leaders, and crypto-entrepreneurs looking to form ties with the Trump family. Jared Kushner is spearheading a real estate venture in downtown Belgrade.

The “America First” president is a subject that is both ideologically aligned and pragmatically inclined in Eastern Europe. The post-communist landscape is largely influenced by the MAGA message. In a recent Gallup poll conducted prior to the US election in 2024, it was revealed that Kamala Harris had won the favor over Trump, with a staggering 59% of respondents in Serbia and Bulgaria. This is not a coincidence. Illiberal actors from all over the region are demonstrating against the liberal democratic consensus, from the AfD supporters in former East Germany to the Georgian Dream party in Tbilisi. Their opinions on issues like Ukraine, race, gender, multiculturalism, vaccines, and LGBTQ rights are comparable to those of Trump’s base. Vladimir Putin’s hostility toward Trump has made him more popular in Serbia, a country that supports Russia.

A transnational dimension is also present. The US’s Eastern European diasporas are more likely to support Trump because of his social conservatism or opposition to other racial and ethnic groups. Even though they profit from the very open-border policies that they frequently denigrate, their Western European counterparts are similarly inclined. 60% of Romanians who reside in the European Union and the UK recently cast ballots for Simion. Prior to the Munich Security Conference, US Vice President JD Vance publicly defended far-right figure Calin Georgescu, for which many had previously backed.

Elites at home perceive Trump as a potential enabler. A powerful friend in Washington who disseminates corruption and democratic understrates might be advantageous both domestically and internationally. In a region rifr with opaque sectors like infrastructure, energy, and mining, the chance of US foreign policy becoming indistinguishable from the Trump Organization’s business agenda is appealing. The most recent US-Ukraine deal is seen as a recipe for a transactional White House to curry favor with.

Already, this partnership is fruitful. Antal Rogan, a close Orban ally, was originally subject to sanctions by the Biden administration under the Global Magnitsky Act in April. The decision has sparked concern elsewhere: Delyan Peevski, a political heavyweight and tycoon, is reportedly seeking a similar reprieve in Bulgaria.

However, Trump’s romantic relationship with Eastern Europe may be fragile. Trump’s economic nationalism, in fact, poses a threat to undermine the very economies that his ideological allies control. Both Slovakia and Hungary are heavily dependent on exports of cars, and US tariffs are likely to apply. The Slovakian auto industry, which accounts for nearly 30% of the country’s exports, employs 10% of its workforce. Even a modest 10% tariff could decimate employment in the industrial belt of Central Europe.

Political effects would result from this economic collapse. Andrej Babis, a populist businessman who resembles Donald Trump, might benefit from it in the Czech Republic. With elections looming next year, Orban is already facing a significant challenge from Peter Magyar in Hungary. Robert Fico, who has a slim majority in the government and growing public dissention, is uncertain about his long-term viability in Slovakia.

Right-wing allies in Canada and Australia have already shown that Trumpism is wrong. Eastern Europe is more accepting, but the region is at risk of over-identification with a movement that opposes liberal values, global economic integration, and the European Union.

Bucharest and Belgrade may still be enthralled by the MAGA revolution, but those who support it could as easily become enraged by its contradictions.

‘European trophy would prove Chelsea are back’

Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager, claims the club can “back” them by winning the Conference League.

The Blues are strong favorites to reach the final against Real Betis or Fiorentina, which will be played in Wroclaw, Poland, on May 28. They are 4-1 up after the first leg of the semi-final against Swedish club Djurgarden last week.

When asked if winning a trophy, even in Uefa’s third-tier European competition, would suffice to say Chelsea are back, Maresca responded, “Yes, for me, winning a trophy, the Conference League, is a statement.”

“First, because you win a trophy, and then Real Madrid or other clubs don’t play the Conference League because it’s not the level they were at when they won.”

“We need to start there from scratch if we play in the Conference League because that’s where we are.”

It’s the only trophy Chelsea hasn’t won in the past, and it’s also good for the club because it means they can become the first team in Europe to win every European championship.

“From there, we’ll try to reach the semi-finals.” It’s a good place to begin to develop a winning mindset before playing games and winning prizes.

We hope to compete in various competitions in the future, but for the time being, that is currently the case.

6, 000 fans are expected to attend Thursday’s game at Stamford Bridge in London, where Djurgarden are 11th in the Swedish top flight.

Filip Jorgensen, the expected starting Chelsea goalkeeper, said: “We will take it as seriously as any other games.”

We want to reach the semi-final of a European competition.

No one seems to believe that this has yet been completed. There are still 90 minutes to play. We’re going to give it our all, and we want to win.

How Israel’s ‘plan’ for Gaza could turbocharge ethnic cleansing

By in News, World News

Israel’s far-right government has approved a “plan” to carve up and ethnically cleanse Gaza, analysts told Al Jazeera.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the plan, couching it in claims that its goal is to dismantle Hamas and retrieve the 24 or so living captives taken from Israel on October 7, 2023.

Asserting that the “powerful operation in Gaza” was necessary, he went on to emphasise that “there will be a movement of the population to protect it.”

Here’s what you need to know:

What is this ‘plan’?

Israel will expel hundreds of thousands of hungry Palestinians from the north of Gaza and confine them in six encampments.

It says food will be provided to the Palestinians in these encampments, and that it will allow aid groups and private security contractors to distribute it. Palestinians will be forced to move – or starve.

Some 5,000 to 6,000 families will be pushed into each camp, according to The Washington Post. Each household will send someone to trek miles to pick up a weekly food parcel from what the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Jan Egeland called “concentration hubs”.

It is unclear how the rest of the population – possibly some 1.5 million people – will eat.

Israel says it will use facial recognition to identify people picking up food parcels, to deny aid to “Hamas” – yet Israel treats every fighting-age male as a Hamas operative.

The private security companies from the United States would also guard within the designated areas.

Experts and UN agencies are decrying the plan as impractical and inhumane.

What does this mean for the people of Gaza?

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza continues, and Palestinians will continue to suffer.

Since Israel began its war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, it has cloaked its mass expulsions in what it claims are humane “advance warnings” in which families have mere hours to pack their belongings and flee to a zone Israel determines. Israel often bombs those safe zones anyway.

“If you are viewing this plan through aid distribution, it makes no sense,” Diana Buttu, legal scholar and former adviser to the Palestine Liberation Organization, told Al Jazeera.

“If you view it through a political project, which is ethnic cleansing and cantonisation by using food as a weapon of war, then this plan does make sense,” she said, adding that the “plan” is consistent with Israel’s aim of carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

What did the people of Gaza say?

That they are afraid, and starving, after two months of Israel blocking all aid and regular shipments of food.

“If there is a plan to expand the war and reoccupy Gaza and repeat the displacement, why were we allowed to return to the north again?” Noor Ayash, 31, asks.

“What more does Netanyahu want? We’re dying in every way.”

Mahmoud al-Nabahin, 77, who has been displaced for the past 18 months, says Netanyahu’s threats are meaningless.

He has lost everything; Israel killed his wife and daughter in a raid months ago, and their home and farm are gone.

“[This] means nothing but our annihilation. We’ve lost all hope. Let him do whatever he wants,” he says from his tent in Deir el-Balah.

“We don’t have weapons. We’re civilians left in the wind. People will refuse displacement, but will be forced by the army.”

What does Israel want?

They want to finish their genocide under the guise of facilitating food aid and rescuing Israeli captives, Omar Rahman, an expert on Israel-Palestine for the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, said.

“Israel has been telegraphing its real intentions from the start of this campaign: Destroy Gaza and eliminate its population both by starvation and mass killing,” he said.

Israel’s “plan” signals its intent to starve Palestinians who resist being expelled from north Gaza, said Heidi Matthews, a legal scholar at York University, Canada.

“It is inconceivable that the population can be adequately provided for … whilst being crowded into southern Gaza,” she said.

“This indicates the genocidal intent to inflict on the Palestinian population of Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”

Can Israel even manage this?

Not clear.

Israel plans to hire two US private security firms, Safe Reach Solutions and UG Solutions, to provide security and possibly help with food distribution.

The first is headed by Phil Riley, a former CIA intelligence officer. The second is run by Jameson Govoni, a former member of the US Army Special Forces.

These companies could give Israel plausible deniability if abuses or atrocities occur, said Mairav Zonszein, an expert on Israel-Palestine for the International Crisis Group.

She added that Israel will also call up thousands of reservists to maintain a physical occupation over northern Gaza, despite many soldiers being fatigued by war and financial troubles.

“There is definitely a lower … turnout among reservists than at the start of the war. But that doesn’t mean there is actually a manpower shortage,” Zonszein told Al Jazeera.

In addition, she noted, despite Israeli society opposing expanding the war on Gaza without first retrieving the captives, Netanyahu is more concerned with appeasing far-right ministers in his coalition by fighting on.

Netanyahu risks losing power and standing trial for corruption charges if the coalition collapses.

Are aid agencies on board?

Not UN agencies.

A UN spokesman said Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was “alarmed” by Israel’s plan and that it will “inevitably lead to countless more civilians killed and the further destruction of Gaza”.

“Gaza is, and must remain, an integral part of a future Palestinian state,” said spokesman Farhan Haq.

The UN also issued a statement saying Israel’s plan for Gaza would “contravene fundamental humanitarian principles” and deepen suffering for civilians.
