Refugee children have higher rates of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Sameer tells Al Jazeera, “Scenes of those things that I witnessed had a very bad effect on me and still I remember it makes me angry.”
According to research conducted on children who are refugees, there are generally more emotional disorders than in non-refugee children.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was 23% (one in four) in refugee children, 16% (one in six), and 14% (one in 7) in depression, according to a study.
Trickey points out that trauma keeps you in a very high state of alert. And I believe that those without refugee status experience a persistent fear of being taken back to where they fled.
Trickey adds that not all children experience trauma in the same way.
Not how big of an event was, but rather what you made of it, which is a more significant risk factor and a predictor of PTSD. You worried, did you? Did you anticipate a death?
And different kinds of children will find frightening things. Some people will actually go through the worst things and appear to be unaffected, and they will do just fine. Some people will appear to be doing well before developing what we might refer to as latent vulnerability. And that’s when they experience difficulties later in life.
Ventevogel tells Al Jazeera that often younger children experience issues with withdrawal because they can’t express their feelings in words, such as when a child withdraws, stops playing with other children, or shows in play that something is wrong because the child acts inappropriately.
Although Ventevogel claims that it’s not diagnostic, it might indicate that something deeper exists.
Trickey relates how a boy he was working with described what he was going through by comparing his brain to a waste paper bin full of “scrunched-up pieces of paper” representing “all the bad things” he had been through during a trauma-focused therapy session.
They fall in front of my eyes as I walk to school, they say. They also fall into my dreams when I lie down and go to sleep,” the boy said. However, we remove them from the trash when I come over to see you and clean them. After that, we carefully read them through, carefully fold them, and then place them back in the recycling bin. However, the neat arrangement of the folded pieces means that I have more room to think about other things because they don’t fall out the top.
Former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria claims that Paddy Pimblett is “one fight away” from winning the title.
After capturing the biggest win of his career with a dominant victory over Michael Chandler in April, Pimblett is eighth in the lightweight UFC rankings.
Pimblett, 30, announced last month that he was considering a fight with Topuria or Justin Gaethje in Abu Dhabi in October.
Topuria will fight Pimblett if he defeats someone first at UFC 317 in Las Vegas on Saturday, when Charles Oliveira takes the lightweight belt from Brazil.
“Be prepared,” I can only say to him as my last word. You arrive on time, act in your best interests, receive payment, and then return home.
He is only a fight away from the title shot. So I’m going to whoop his underarms if he wins, of course.
After the two fought at a hotel before UFC London in 2022, Topuria and Pimblett have a history together.
I nearly killed myself to gain 145 pounds.
Topuria, 28, won the featherweight title in February of last year after winning the first 16 of his 16 fights. He also had a remarkable 2024, when he defeated Alexander Volkanovski.
Topuria, who is Georgian, became Spain’s first UFC champion before President Pedro Sanchez granted him Spanish citizenship.
Topuria vacated the belt in April and moved up to lightweight after defeating another former champion in Max Holloway in October.
Topuria claims that the division’s impact on his physical health led to his decision to move up despite his success at featherweight.
I do indeed belong in this weight class. Topuria said, “I almost killed myself to make the 145lb (10th 3lb) division.”
I feel very at ease. In this weight division, I feel even stronger.
“And this is actually the first time I’ve been able to enjoy the entire process like the training, even the weight loss,” she said.
Islam Makhachev, the reigning champion, was given the title opportunity after it was revealed he would be stepping down from his belt to become welterweight.
Oliveira, the former champion, is second in the lightweight division and holds a number of promotion records, including the highest submissions and most finishes with 20.
Topuria may find himself in the same familiar position as fans who root against him because of the 35-year-old Oliveira’s popularity with the roster and Volkanovski and Holloway.
Because this is not personal, I can’t feel like the bad guy. Topuria said, “I don’t have anything personal against them.”
Billy Rae Cyrus and Liz Hurley initially sparked a stir when they went public, but a source claims that the model is assisting her country singer boyfriend in his recovery.

According to a source, Liz is assisting beau Billy Rae in regenerating old wounds.
Elizabeth Hurley and her country legend beau Billy Ray Cyrus have been cosying up at glamorous events since going public in April – but their romance runs far deeper than red carpet appearances together, a source close to Liz has claimed to OK!.
They told OK! that Liz, 60, is also helping mend the 63-year-old singer’s heartache, by gently encouraging him to fix his fractured relationships with his children, including singers Miley and Noah, after he “pushed them all away”.

According to the source, “Liz is the love of Billy Ray’s life – that’s what he calls her.” “Her friends claim that she has never been happier and that she believes she can completely transform his life.” He has seen how close she is to Damian, his son, and how she is supporting him in those sometimes difficult relationships with his daughter and the rest of the family.
She’s helping him reconnect with his family and mend those relationships. She knows how important it is, as she’s very close with Damian and she wants the same for Billy Ray. They’re stronger than ever – he’s fallen for her in every possible way. She’s hoping she will be the guiding light and bring out the best in him.”
Billy Ray, the drummer for the Achy Breaky Hearts, praised Liz as “a great person” and said she had helped him find joy. The couple has attended a number of well-known events, including the Orizzonti/Rosso exhibition in Rome and various fundraising galas in London.

They sent shockwaves through the showbiz world when they went public in April, following one of the most difficult chapters in Billy Ray’s life.
The American singer had been dealing with the aftermath of his split from his second wife, Tish, who he had been married to for 30 years in 2022. He married his third wife Firerose in 2023 and divorced her in 2024 after that.

There were rumours of tension, following his split from Tish, among his six children – Miley, Noah and Braison (who he had with Tish), Brandi and Trace (who he adopted during his marriage to their mother, Tish) and Christopher (who he had with former girlfriend Kristin Luckey).
Trace, 36, posted an open letter to his dad on Instagram in January to say the family were “genuinely worried” about him. He wrote, “Since my earliest memories, all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever. I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life.
Unfortunately, I hardly recognize the man I so desperately desired to be. Everyone but you seems to have seen how you have been defeated by this world. I apologize for posting this, but I really couldn’t care less. You’ve pushed all of us away, despite the fact that we have been deeply concerned about you for years.
While Miley didn’t respond to her brother’s statement, there were rumours she had fallen out with her dad too. However, since Billy Ray started dating Liz, the family appear to be coming back together. The pair headed out to support Miley at the premiere of her new film Something Beautiful in London last month.

Our source claimed that Billy Ray had been on the wrong path and had previously struggled with hitting the bottle. Liz strives to help him in every way possible, from his family to his health, by being very fit, super into what she eats, and super into what she eats.
Billy Ray and Liz’s friendship began when they filmed the 2022 festive flick Christmas In Paradise together. Billy Ray previously revealed that Liz had contacted him while he was experiencing difficulties in his personal life, which became the trigger for their romance.
Billy Ray, who appeared on The Ty Bentli Show on Apple Music Country, recalled, “I was like, Wow, can life get any harder? Is it even tougher? You can’t get knocked down any flatter than lying on your back when life is kicking you, in my opinion. And a friend reached out at this point.
Billy Ray claimed that Liz’s message read, “Hey, it seems like life might be a little tough, and I just wanted to let you know that I’m in your corner – you’ve got a friend in your corner.”

Billy explained that he had lost Liz’s phone number and was confused by who was responsible for the message. “So I texted you, “Who is this?” And it’s similar to Elizabeth Hurley. Among all the people who contacted me in that second, perhaps this friend who made me laugh, came closest.
EastEnders’ early fans may not have known the actor who appeared in a BBC2 series decades later, but his social media profiles also show him in a different light.
Clair Norris, the star of EastEnders, was informed that her contract would not be renewed, leading to her character’s eight-year transition from Bernie Taylor. Oscar Branning will leave Albert Square after eight years of a sabbatical, with Pierre Moullier taking the part.
A character that writers Tony Holland and Julia Smith brought to the young soap by the audience who has already watched it will stick with them forever. Haluk Bilginer, who spent three unforgettable years in Albert Square, played Mehmet Osman.
At The Queen Vic pub, Mehmet and Ali Osman duoed and performed the lively Turkish song Oy Oy Emine. After attempting to kiss her, he was struck by Mary the Punk in another scene at the Vic. Unfortunately, when the writers left the show, both stars were abruptly cut out of the happenings in Albert Square.

While Nejdet’s acting career seemed to plateau after leaving EastEnders, Haluk’s didn’t. He continued acting and looked completely unrecognisable from his Walford days when he returned to TV in the starring role of The Turkish Detective. Stepping into the shoes of Detective Cetin Ikmen in the BBC2 series last July, he sported a bushy, grey beard and starred alongside Yasemin Allen, who played Cetin’s female counterpart, Detective Ayse Farsakoglu.

Haluk’s Instagram account also shows him in a completely different light to the young Mehmet from EastEnders. In one image, taken back in 2021, he has long, wild hair and the same grey beard, with a photo that he captioned: “IS BALLET A SPORT???” Another picture, taken just before Christmas last year, reveals him to be in New York, as he smilingly poses for a selfie on the streets with a group of people on the street.
The Turkish Detective was created for TV by American film company Miramax, and inspired by English author Barbara Nadel’s The Cetin Ikmen Crime Novels. While Nadel’s version stretches across 24 novels, the tale was condensed into eight episodes for viewers. Ethan Kai, recognised for his portrayal of Kasim in Emmerdale from 2016 to 2017 and his stint in BBC’s spy thriller Killing Eve, also joined the cast.

After EastEnders, Haluk has some impressive acting skills. He and his then-wife Zuhal Olcay were cast in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in 1992. They even built their own theater after returning to Turkey and staring in numerous movies there. Haluk made a comeback in 2009 with the American thriller The International, in which he reprised the role of dealer of high-tech missile guidance system dealer Ahmet Sunay.
ExCLUSIVE: One of the last bands to play at Sheffield’s iconic The Leadmill has revealed their apprehensions about the music scene, claiming that the closure would mean generations losing “the place’s go.”
The Leadmill’s The Rosadocs
One of the last ever bands to grace the stage at Sheffield’s iconic The Leadmill have revealed their concern as the venue shuts its doors for one last time.
The region’s longest running live music venue and nightclub lost its battle to remain open earlier this year after 45 years in business. It has been the stomping ground for some of the biggest names in the industry, hosting the likes of Pulp, Coldplay, The Stone Roses, Oasis and The Arctic Monkeys over the years. The venue’s owners said they were “truly devastated” they were closing in a heartbreaking statement earlier this year.
However, the Rosadocs, an exciting indie rock band, have now called its closure a “real worry” for the grassroots of the industry as time passes. The Leadmill was used as a stepping stone to success by the band, which included Keelan Graney, Joe Egan, Adam Sleight, Callum Raynor, and Myles Henderson, who have since called it “the place to go” for generations.

Frontman Keelan stated, “I think the city is going to be really miss. We still wanted to go back, but I believe the history makes it more representative of the grassroots: it’s for people attending gigs.
Losing that is a major blow if you have somewhere to go where it’s almost a given that that’s where you go to see bands.
Continue reading the article.
Drummer Callum continued, “Musicians and music fans in general are a real concern because of this closure. ” “Keelan continued” continues, “Grassroots is being hit from all sides right now.” Festivals are disappearing day after day.
“If we lose the infrastructure that provided these opportunities for artists, we’ll lose the music, we’ll lose the festivals, and we’ll lose everything,” he said.
The boys were enthralled to have one last performance for the fans at the venue earlier this month. Keelan remarked, “It was amazing.” One of the best shows we’ve ever produced is my opinion.
The venue’s closing and also the fact that it almost seemed like one last hurrah made it the perfect culmination of the mood. We really enjoyed it. From beginning to end, it bounced around. Because the songs were being sung back to us at a volume that was so loud, we couldn’t even hear ourselves.

Keyboard player Myles remarked about going back to the venue, “There’s still a feeling in the room.” Although I’m not sure what it is, playing there feels different.
The band’s future is very promising despite the fact that this performance is actually the end of an era. The City’s No Good for Reflection, a rising band from Sheffield, just released their most recent five-track collection.
In the Storm, a powerful and moving anthem of hope and emotional resilience, is one of the songs. Keelan mentioned the EP’s impressive range of songs in a release statement. The singer said, “We made an effort to say something about this theme in each track, to give it its own personality.”
And I believe it’s a good combination of ballads and an anthemic indie sound, as well as Bittersweet, the album’s opening track, which is a little more rocky.
The five tracks, according to Callum, are a perfect representation of what a fan would expect from a full band, with Myles stating that it’s a “same kind of journey” to how they would stage a live audience.
And speaking of their live shows – the group has a busy schedule of festivals this summer including Rock n Roll Circus and Hardwick Festival – Keelan said it’s their live presence that helps set them apart in the scene.
He said, “We like things to flow. We aim to make everyone jump and bounce. But I think it’s nice to have that interaction, and getting people to watch the show makes them feel more invested in it.
Charli XCX will take to Glastonbury’s Other Stage at 10:30pm tonight – so what does her famous stage name actually mean? Here’s some fun pop trivia for you to dive into

Glastonbury fans are so excited to watch Charli XCX’s set this evening (Saturday, June 28). While some will be doing so in Worthy Farm, others will be tuning into the set on TV. That’s because the BBC has decided to show the pop icon instead of Neil Young.
The 32-year-old, from Cambridge, soared to new heights in the music industry last year with the release of her album ‘Brat’, which topped charts in the UK, Ireland, and Australia, and made an impressive debut at number three on the Billboard 200. She is known for hits like 360, 365, Speed Drive, Apple, Official, and not forgetting her earlier bangers Boom Clap, Boys, and Vroom Vroom.
Charli will be taking to the Other Stage between 10:30pm and 11:45pm. Her performance will follow the Deftones and falls just before the midnight curfew. We can’t wait for Charli’s set tonight, so we’ve been brushing up on our trivia in the meantime.
One thing many don’t know about the songstress, who was born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, is how she got her stage name. So here’s everything you need to know.
Curious minds took to Reddit to discuss, with one user straightforwardly posing the question: “What does XCX mean in her name?” Speculations flew in with one person suggesting: “Charli 10 100 10.” Another added a humorous take: “xylophone, chimichanga, xylophone.” Someone else thought it represented “I thought it was excess.”

Delving deeper into the significance of her moniker, another fan theorised: “I was thinking about the change from Charli XCX to Charli xcx and I have the theory that Charli is going to market herself next as just ‘Charli’ like other popstars are doing right now (like Jenny, Lisa, Chloe, etc). Changing the XCX to lowercase serves as a transition since we start seeing more the Charli than the xcx. thoughts? Honestly, I would find it sad to let go of the xcx, specially since I already miss hearing X X X c X on her songs.”
Charli XCX revealed the quirky origin of her stage name during a red carpet interview at the 57th GRAMMY Awards back in February 2015. On the Grammy’s website, there’s a clip where she’s asked if it’s true that her stage name was her old MSN messenger handle – a chat service that was all the rage from 1999 to 2013.
She confirmed: “I didn’t have a manager when I decided on the name. I couldn’t think of anything so I just used that. It’s my MSN screen name. I’m not going to change it.”
