Israeli Prime Minister David Lammy criticized the Israeli government for intensifying its military campaign in Gaza, calling it “monstrous” and “repulsive.” Additionally, the UK claimed that its free trade negotiations with Israel were halted.
The amount Rolf Harris’ wife in her will has been revealed – and it’s massive. The disgraced TV star died aged 93 in May 2023 from neck cancer and left behind a huge £16million fortune. Now, it’s been revealed how much his wife Alwen Hughes left in her own will.
Her death came in August last year, aged 92, one year after her husband. Hughes had stood by her man despite him being found guilty on 12 counts of indecent assault against four girls and young women.
The Welsh sculptor and jeweler passed away with a staggering $4 million following. According to documents, her estate, at the time of her death, was worth £3, 975 and 950 before being reduced to a net worth of £3, 840 and $532 after taxes.
Her will, which was reportedly written in July 2018, was said to be very complex. The former Animal Hospital presenter passed away a few years later. She had also mentioned her husband.
However, it was discovered that Ava Reeves, the couple’s daughter, was the main beneficiary after Harris’ death. The official document also included the names of additional relatives.
In 1958, Harris and Welsh wed. Despite his convictions, she remained by him and watched every day of Harris’ initial trial, along with their daughter Bindi, who later changed her name to Ava in an effort to end ties to Harris’ tarnished legacy.
Last month, Harris’ mansion was put up for sale, two years after his death. The riverside property in Berkshire was quietly listed with an asking price of £4million.
A source told the Mirror at the time that Ava had been attempting to sell the property, reporting that Ava had been seen attempting to leave about a month ago.
She wants to sell it, but she isn’t in a rush and doesn’t need it all that much, so she is holding out for a good price. “Potential buyers have already started the viewings.
One year prior to Welsh, who had been suffering from Alzheimer’s, died of neck cancer at the home in May 2023, at the age of 93.
The former presenter was found guilty of a dozen indecent assaults against four young girls and was sentenced to five years and nine months in jail in July 2014.
Between 1968 and 1986, he committed his crimes. One of Harris’ friends, who was 13 or 19 at the time, was accused of sexually assaulting one of her daughter in one instance.
During his final hours while surrounded by loved ones, Harris is said to have made an emotional request to his daughter through a feeding tube. His parting words were reported to be: “I always believed we would go on longer together but, if I go first, promise you’ll take good care of your mum.”
On the sidelines of the Cannes film festival, Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey accepted a lifetime’s achievement award from a charity. He declared on Tuesday that he was “glad to be working again.”
Spacey’s attendance at a gala dinner hosted by the Better World Fund  is yet another positive step in the recovery of the famous actor who has been plagued by sexual assault allegations.
“It’s amazing how much love and affection surrounds me. In the week since the announcement of this award, he told reporters at the event, “I’ve heard from so many of my friends, coworkers, and co-stars.” It’s very nice to be back, he said.
When questioned if a comeback was imminent, he responded, “I’m glad to be working, I’ll tell you that.”

Spacey hasn’t been seen on the red carpet since 2016 as a result of the main festival’s pressure from lawmakers and #MeToo anti-abuse activists, which has led to the invitation to Cannes.
Theo Navarro-Mussy, a French actor who denies rape allegations made by three women, was last week prohibited from the premiere of a French movie in the competition for the festival’s top prize.
When contacted by AFP, a festival spokesperson declined to comment on Spacey’s presence in Cannes.
In 2023, Spacey was cleared of nine alleged sex offences in Britain, and a New York court dismissed a $40 million civil sexual misconduct lawsuit brought against him in 2022.
However, a British television documentary called “Spacey Unmasked” made fresh allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior in May.
In it, Spacey was accused of acting inappropriately toward 10 men who are not parties to the UK court case against him.
The 65-year-old has always denied any wrongdoing.
Ruari Cannon’s attorneys informed AFP in February that the actor, who served as artistic director of Spacey and London’s Old Vic Theatre between 2003 and 2015, would file a lawsuit with Britain’s High Court.
Cannon, a 53-year-old American star, claimed in the documentary that Spacey touched him inappropriately in London at the age of 21.
The lead singer of hit rap-metal band Dropout Kings has died at the age of 32, his heartbroken bandmates have confirmed. The band released a statement to announce the tragic death of their “brother” Adam Ramey.
The band wrote: “Life comes at you in ways you can never predict. The rollercoaster of chasing your dreams and building with your brothers and friends is a joy few get to know… With the heaviest hearts, we share that our brother, Adam Ramey, has passed away.
“His passion, energy, and love for music shaped Dropout Kings and touched countless lives. Adam’s spirit, charisma, and energy will not only forever inspire us, but will push us into the future to be the best that we can.”
They signed off their Facebook post: “Thank you for everything, Chip. Rest in power, Adam. We’ll always love you, fam.”
While no cause of death was confirmed in the statement, a GoFundMe page set up by his brother-in-law following the sad news said the star had died by suicide. The description on the fundraiser, which was set up to help support Adam’s child and wife, read: “On May 19th, just five days before his 32nd birthday, we lost Adam Ramey—beloved husband, father, son, and lead vocalist of Dropout Kings—to suicide after a long and painful battle with addiction.
“Adam wasn’t just my brother-in-law. He was like a real brother to me. He saved my life during one of my darkest times and always showed up for the people he loved.
“He brought life and energy to every room, every family gathering, and every stage he stepped on. Watching him perform—especially at local shows in Phoenix or when he came to Tampa—was unforgettable.”
It continued: “Adam loved deeply. He was a devoted husband to my 29-year-old sister, Jamie, and a proud father to their 18-month-old son, Jude. He was also an incredible uncle, friend, and human being.
“Now Jamie is left grieving the love of her life while raising their baby boy alone. She’s facing not only unimaginable heartbreak but also the financial weight of funeral expenses and legal costs.”
The fundraiser had set out to raise $30,000 to help Adam’s wife and child. At the time of writing, over $21,000 had been raised by almost 200 donators.

Following his visit to Rome to welcome Pope Leo XIV, President Bola Tinubu has since returned to Nigeria.
On Tuesday evening, he was met by a delegation of senior government officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, George Akume, the secretary of the Federation’s government, and Abdullahi Ganduje, the All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, were among those who welcomed the president.
The president was in Italy on Saturday at the Mario De Bernardo Military Airport and on Sunday at Pope Leo’s inauguration as Rome’s 267th head of the Roman Catholic Church.
VIDEO: Tinubu and Pope Leo XIV attend the ceremony in Rome.
The president and the new pope exchanged brief words during the reception following the inaugural mass held in St. Peter’s Square, as recorded on a video on his official X handle.
At the installation mass, Tinubu and other world leaders from the United States, including Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, and vice president J. D. Vance.
Pope Leo XIV, who was elected on May 8, addressed the occasion of his inaugural mass by urging people to show their support for the need to end the exploitation of nature and the marginalization of the poor.
In order to promote national stability and quick development, Tinubu urged Nigerian leaders and citizens to use diversity as a weapon of strength rather than division while in Rome.
During Pope Leo’s installation ceremony, the president also had a meeting with Kayode Fayemi, a former governor of Ekiti State, and Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for president in the 2023 election.
See below for images of Tinubu’s country visit:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged the “forcible expulsion of Palestinians” from Gaza.
Palestinians are being forced to leave their homes once more as Israel expands its operations in Gaza.
Palestinian commentators have long been saying that the Israeli prime minister has promised to seize the entire strip.
The “forcible expulsion of Palestinians” from Gaza will be the end result, according to Benjamin Netanyahu.
He claimed he only works to appease his supporters in the United States while partially lifting a strip blockade that is currently in its third month.
What does this mean for Gaza’s future and for the Palestinians who are experiencing displacement, starvation, and the constant threat of dying?
Presenter: Adrian Finighan
Guests:
Former US ambassador and former diplomat from Palestine, Afif Safieh
The Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development, led by Lex Takkenberg, is its senior adviser.
