Stacey candidly revealed: “He will never be able to use his legs again, but he’s getting used to wheelchair and, just, yeah. You just get on with it don’t you Teddy?”

And she called him “just such a good boy” as she continued to shower him with cuddles and strokes before giving him a kiss at the end of the video.

Initially opening up about her pet’s plight, Stacey told her followers earlier in the year how he had become “suddenly unwell” prior to a procedure. Then, in May, the 35-year-old explained how the Spaniel had suffered a burst disc and “lost the use of his back legs”.

She later revealed it was “likely” that he will “never get the feeling back” in his legs and told how the pup will also need help emptying his bladder and walking. But now, thanks to wheelchair, Teddy is able to play again.

In July, she shared a clip of her dog getting about on his new aide. Posting a video of him with his assisted wheels, the former X Factor star shared her delight at seeing him able too run and play again.

She gushed: “Our Darling Teddy has his wheels. We have spent the last few days trying to teach teddy a new way of getting around & he’s finally learning to love his wheels. He was very nervous at first but seeing him today walking around with peanut again was so special.

“We have spoken to our vet & have bought teddy some wheels. If we are doing anything wrong please be kind. This is a totally new journey for us & we are doing our best to give teddy the best life he can possibly have so just let us know if you have any tips.”

She continued, “Teddy you’ve been such an amazing boy. We know your whole world has turned upside down but you’ve been so calm and patient and we hope we are giving you the second chance that you deserve. To the moon & back Teddy.”

Shaheen Shah Afridi, the former Pakistan captain, says his team is prepared to put forth a “complete effort” to win the 2025 Asia Cup with a potential mouth-watering rematch with India in the final on Sunday.

With a game to spare in the final Super Fours match, India will face Sri Lanka on Friday in their final encounter. They defeated Bangladesh by 41 runs in Dubai on Wednesday to advance to the final.

On Thursday before the final, Pakistan and Bangladesh will square off in what is essentially an elimination match.

In this edition of the regional competition, India and Pakistan have met twice, but neither country’s neighbors have ever competed in an Asian Cup final.

This is the 17th edition of the regional tournament, which was first held in 1984 and is now being played in the United Arab Emirates under the Twenty20 style.

India are the reigning champions of this edition, defeating Pakistan in both previous games, but left-arm seamer Shaheen was optimistic after taking 3-28 against Sri Lanka.

Before India defeated Bangladesh, Shaheen declared, “We are here to win the cup, we are ready to beat them. Regardless of the outcome, we are ready to win it.”

India will once again emerge as the top-seeded favorites if Pakistan does not make it to the final, having won 12 of the 15 T20Is between the two nations.

India has also won three one-day internationals, four T20Is, and the last seven against Pakistan since September 2022.

Suryakumar Yadav, the skipper of India, declared that India-Pakistan “is not a rivalry any more” following that incident.

There were no handshakes in either of India’s victories in the UAE, adding another layer to the already tense conflict.

He believes that is what. Shaheen of Suryakumar made the sharp comments, “Let him say that.”

One million Syrian refugees returned home since al-Assad’s fall, UN says

Since Bashar al-Assad’s rule overran Syria in December, the UN has reported that one million Syrian refugees have returned to their country, and it has also issued a warning about declining funding for humanitarian operations.

One million Syrians have returned to their country in nine months after the Bashar al-Assad government fell on December 8, 2024, according to a UNHCR statement released on Tuesday.

The organization added that 1. 8 million Syrian refugees who had been displaced there for nearly 14 years had also retreated to their homes.

The conflict broke out after the Assad regime’s crackdown on peaceful antigovernment demonstrations as part of the Arab Spring protests in 2011 caused almost half of Syria’s 13 million population to flee.

Returnees’ challenges:

UNHCR noted that many Syrian refugees are struggling to rebuild their lives, citing the mass returns as “a sign of the great hope and high expectations Syrians have had following the country’s political transition.”

People’s resolve to return and recover are being challenged by “destroyed homes and infrastructure, weak and damaged basic services, a lack of job opportunities, and volatile security,” according to the organization.

More than 4.5 million Syrians are still living abroad, according to UNHCR, and over 7 million of them are internally displaced. It called for more money to be invested in stabilization initiatives and to give more assistance to frightened families.

Appel for humanitarian assistance

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, said, “The international community, the private sector, and Syrians in the diaspora must come together to intensify their efforts to support recovery and ensure that those displaced by conflict are not forced to flee again.”

According to a recent UNHCR survey, 80% of Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Iraq want to go home one day, with 8% claiming they intend to do so within the next year.

The most vulnerable among them still require protection and assistance, according to Grandi, “and they have endured a lot of suffering over the past 14 years.” It’s equally crucial to continue supporting host nations like Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey to make sure returns are voluntary, secure, and dignified.

UNHCR issued a warning that aid funding is slipping. Only 30% of the requested funds have been provided for the wider regional Syria response, compared to the only 24 percent available for Syria.

Rihanna showed off her baby bump for the first time at the Met Gala in May, confirming her third pregnancy. The singer, who has two sons with partner A $AP Rocky, had rumors about the birth of a second child weeks before her appearance but had previously wore a number of baggy outfits to conceal her bum until it was appropriate.

Rihanna posed in a figure-hugging ensemble as she made her way to the prestigious annual event in New York City in a video that was shared on social media at the Met Gala to demonstrate her willingness to confirm the speculation. A $AP was also inquired about Rihanna’s appearance during his red carpet show.

“Rihanna’s outfit tonight is… I’m not sure, but whatever, just don’t really cover her baby hump, ya dig? He laughed,” he said to CBS at the time.

At the 2025 gala, where her partner A $AP is co-chaired, pop icon RiRi, who is typically fashionably late, used her fitted two-piece Miu Miu look to make a big announcement. The Carlyle Hotel photographed the star outside with her entire outfit on display before walking the blue carpet.

The Work star’s second pregnancy was revealed during her Super Bowl performance in a similarly covert manner in 2023. She became the first woman to lead the halftime show while she was pregnant in the process.

However, the Fenty founder later revealed that she hadn’t initially planned to make her bump debut in the video game. The thing is “Here,” you read. I had to do what, right? In December 2023, she told Access Hollywood that her jumper couldn’t zip up.

She continued, “No one knew I was pregnant,” laughing. Make sure it’s stretchy, I just told my stylist. You know the zip, but the undergarment was stretchy and this [jacket] was baggy. Simply put, it abruptly stopped there! Therefore, it had to be what it was.

Rihanna already has sons Riot Rose and RZA, both of whom were born in May 2022, and rapper A $AP Rocky, who are also biologically related. The SOS singer revealed in a candid interview last year that growing up had increased her aversion to life.

The Los Angeles Times obtained a photo of Rihanna and ASAP with their three children.

“I’m afraid of sh**,” I confess. You worry about your kids’ well-being constantly, she told The Cut. Nobody warns you that having children means you’ll worry about it every day.

The star expanded on raising RZA, three, and Riot, two, earlier this year. She told Harper’s Bazaar, “Every decision I make revolves around them, but everything I do in love with steals my heart.” So I feel strange resentment toward the things I enjoy. You almost feel as though something will always suffer when you appear somewhere.

The proud mother continued, “RZA is just an empath. He has such magical abilities. He enjoys music. He enjoys music. He enjoys books. And Riot, who is also hilarious. He begins to squeal and scream when he awakes. not crying. He merely desires to sing. And I’m like, “Okay, here we go!” He sets my morning alarm! He won’t say “no” to anyone. Dude, I’m not sure where he came from.
