Melissa is anticipated to make her way to eastern Cuba after wreaking havoc in Jamaica. More than 500,000 people have been evacuated from areas deemed vulnerable to flooding and extreme winds, according to authorities.

The Met Office recently shared a verdict on how Hurricane Melissa could impact weather in the UK in the coming days.

Leigh-Anne recently discussed her marital issues as a result of her husband’s work experience away from the family. She revealed she only sees her husband’s football player Andre Gray three times per month despite the fact that they make the most of their time together when they can.

She acknowledged in a statement on Chris and Rosie Ramsey’s podcast Sh**ged, Married, Annoyed that even with my husband living abroad, we might see each other three days a month.

We have been doing that for three years, and it’s so s**t. The twins are only now four years old.

Chris Evans ‘welcomes first child with wife Alba Baptista’ as adorable name revealed

After the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2023, Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista welcomed their first child, a girl.

Captain America star Chris Evans, 44, has become a dad for the first time! The Marvel superhero actor and his wife Alba Baptista, 28, welcomed their first child in Massachusetts on Friday, October 24.

Alma Grace Baptista Evans, a baby girl, is reportedly the couple’s newest addition. By November 2022, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Chris and Portuguese actress Alba had been dating rumors for “more than a year.”

The pair tied the knot in a cosy ceremony at a private estate in Cape Cod, Massachusetts in September 2023. The lovebirds also celebrated their nuptials with another wedding ceremony in Portugal that same year. Chris and Alba have kept their relationship largely under wraps, reports the Mirror US.

A source told People today that the couple are “enjoying their privacy and these first few days as a family with their baby”. The Mirror has reached out to Chris’ representatives for comment.

Chris made a heartfelt confession three years ago, as the Irish Star reported. Chris admitted that starting a family was his dream when he appeared on the cover of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022.

“Wife, children, raising the family. He told the publication, “I mean, that’s absolutely what I want.” Most of the best artists, whether it’s actors, painters, or writers, [admire] that their most admirable work was not their relationships, the families they founded, the love they found, or the love they shared.

It also rings true that I spent my entire 41 years in this way. The most crucial are those. I have a lot of that in my life, so the idea of creating that is beyond me, Chris continued. “I love the idea of tradition and ceremony.

The Snowpiercer actor revealed his desire to be a father during a conversation with Access Hollywood in November 2024 at the Red One premiere, saying, “I hope so, and noting, that the title of dad is exciting.

When her father, Luiz Baptista, responded to a fan page for the pair congratulating him and Chris’ father, G Roberts Evans III, on Father’s Day, rumors started to surface about Chris and Alba expecting their first child together in June.

Luis responded, “Thank you, dear Chris. It’s time for you! “.

Prior to joining Alba, Evans had romantic ties to Jessica Biel and Minka Kelly, as well as other famous people.

‘Awful moment’ as Agyemang is carried off injured

Michelle Agyemang, who was carried off on a stretcher with what appeared to be a knee injury during England’s 3-0 win against Australia, is “not very positive,” according to England manager Sarina Wiegman.

Agyemang, 19, left Pride Park on crutches just 13 minutes after being substituted for Chloe Kelly in the second half for an off-the-ball injury.

Wiegman stated in her post-game press conference that she was concerned about the injury but had not received any confirmation.

She said, “Of course, it was an awful moment, and it doesn’t look good.” “We don’t know yet, but what I saw is not very positive,” he said.

Wiegman’s statements to the media, according to former Arsenal defender Jen Beattie, were unfavorable.

The manager will always be the first to receive a few nods from the medical team, according to Sarina’s comments. On BBC Radio 5 Live, Beattie stated, “I think her entire demeanor spoke volumes.”

“I just hope she’s okay, I don’t want to speculate.”

Agyemang, who is currently on loan from Arsenal to Brighton, played a significant part in the Lionesses’ victory at Euro 2025.

England jumped out to victory in the quarter-final against Sweden and the semi-final against Italy thanks to goals from the bench.

Her exploits in Switzerland earned her the Kopa Trophy, the highest distinction given to the best under-21 female footballer in the world.

Fubara Moves To Unlock Blue Economy, Tourism Potentials In Rivers

Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, has pledged to work with his federal constituency’s major focus groups to unlock the state’s coast region’s vast blue economy and tourism potentials, with Andoni, a local government area, at the top of his list of priorities.

Governor Fubara made this statement on Tuesday during a visit to the 1352-kilometer Ngo-Atlantic Beach-Oyorokoto Road, a brand-new access route connecting the Andoni Local Government Headquarters to a beach that faces the Atlantic Ocean.

The project, according to the Governor, is a deliberate attempt to diversify the state’s economy through tourism and marine-based opportunities.

“We are conducting yet another inspection today. Governor Fubara referred to this as a virgin road, which is 13.52 kilometers of a brand-new path to the blue economy.

“We were planning to construct a road to Oyorokoto Beach, one of the area’s top tourist attractions. However, as we advanced, we discovered a second beach with a direct ocean view. It became clear that development shouldn’t be restricted to a single website. As part of our wider strategy to grow the blue economy, we want to use this new beach front.

Fubara speaks with a journalist as the 13.52-kilometer Ngo-Atlantic Beach-Oyorokoto Road is being examined.

He claimed that the road, which cuts through challenging coastal terrain, will promote both tourism, hospitality, and other coastal businesses along the coast. It is said that it will also encourage marine and fishing activities in Oyorokoto, which is regarded as West Africa’s largest fishing settlement.

“You can tell for yourself that it’s a brand-new road in very challenging terrain, similar to the Trans-Kalabari Road that we saw yesterday. But I firmly believe that it will be overcome. According to what we’ve seen so far, MCC, the contractor, is doing their best, and by the end of the year, or at least by March, we will have the cause to commission this project and give God the glory, the Governor stated.

Despite the difficulties with the terrain, Governor Fubara praised the contractor, MCC, for its high standard of work and expressed hope that the road would be finished by March of next year.

In his Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area, the Governor also inspected the 5.2-kilometer Kalaibiama–Epellema Road.
