Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that a suspect has been arrested in the murder of former parliamentary speaker Andriy Parubiy, who was killed in an attack over the weekend.
In a post on Telegram early on Monday, Zelenskyy wrote that the suspect had given an “initial testimony” and “urgent investigative actions are currently underway to establish all the circumstances of this murder”.
“I thank law enforcement for their swift and coordinated work. All the circumstances of this horrific murder must be uncovered”, he said.
On Saturday, Parubiy, 54, who served as speaker from April 2016 to August 2019, was shot dead in the western city of Lviv. He was one of the protest leaders in 2013-14, calling for closer ties with the European Union.

Internal Affairs Minister Ihor Klymenko wrote on Telegram on Sunday night that dozens of police officers and security officers had been involved in the operation to arrest the suspect in the Khmelnytsky region of western Ukraine.
According to Klymenko, the crime was “carefully prepared: the schedule of the deceased’s movements was studied, the route was laid, and an escape plan was thought out”.
Some tributes from Ukrainian officials to Parubiy hinted at suspicions of Russian involvement in the killing. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, both sides have accused each other of assassinations of key political and military leaders.
According to the Russian state media, Parubiy had been wanted by Russian authorities since 2023.
As a young man, he had campaigned for Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union. He was also a key supporter of promoting the use of Ukrainian over the Russian language – a highly politicised issue.
During the 2014 Maidan protests, following then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision to cancel a planned association agreement with the EU due to intense pressure from Moscow, Parubiy was the “commander” of the opposition’s self-defence forces.
A magnitude 6 earthquake that struck eastern Afghanistan just before midnight, near Pakistan, claimed the lives of more than 600 people and injured over 1,500 others. As rescue efforts are in progress, several villages have reportedly been completely destroyed.

Olivia Attwood’s husband, Bradley Dack, has made a bombshell statement over the state of their marriage. In recent days, fans of the former Love Island star have been concerned about her marriage.
It comes after Olivia, 34, was seen with her close friend Pete Wicks during a work trip to Ibiza, when the reality stars were seen looking close with one another. However, sources have insisted that the pair are merely close friends and that they were merely enjoying their time abroad.
Reports claimed that Olivia was ‘in the doghouse’ with Bradley after the pictures of herself and Pete partying at Ocean Beach and later on a yacht emerged. Pete was seen with his arm around Olivia, with Bradley allegedly being left “livid” after his Gillingham FC teammates shared the snaps in a WhatsApp group.
Olivia recently admitted to having a “ferral summer” before she returned to the UK to present her KISS radio programme with former The Only Way Is Essex star Pete. Now, Bradley has been seen after the pictures emerged, and it’s clear he’s made a strong statement on the future of their marriage.

Bradley was still sporting his golden wedding band as he took off with his teammates to meet fans, which was visible to everyone in the bravery he displayed. Olivia was seen arriving at her place of employment on Sunday without her wedding band, though.
However, Olivia frequently renounces her ring, despite a source close to her saying that she frequently does so. On this occasion, Olivia had a valid reason: she cleaned it after applying sun cream while enjoying her “ferral” time in Ibiza.

Olivia has also spoken out on the backlash which she has found herself at the centre of. One fan said on her Instagram page: “I’m afraid for your marriage.” But Olivia, known for not holding back instantly responded: “Don’t be. Worry about your own.”
However, she acknowledged her marriage three weeks prior to the drama and admitted she had been her “bad girlfriend” to Bradley. She claimed to be “could be on Bad Wives” while promoting her new show, Bad Boyfriends.
I had the upper hand over our relationship for ages. She stated to the press, “He’s coming for my throne, and I carried him on my back for a long time. He was always out in the beginning and was playing football. And now he needs to assist me more because I’m the one who is filming seven days per week. Because I work, I miss my football games. I’m evil.

“He says, ‘You save all your nice personality for work and then you come in like, ‘Where’s my dinner?'” Meanwhile, she has also said that their marriage is far from perfect. Speaking to the Mirror, Olivia said: Brad and I do have a lovely relationship. But also, I’m not perfect, he’s not perfect, it’s not the perfect relationship. But it’s a good relationship.
We all learn that, to put it mildly. There is no such thing as perfect. You’ll find someone with a new set of issues if you leave someone because of a particular set of issues.
Following their 3-0 League Cup final defeat, Inter Miami forward Luis Suarez made an offensive spit at a member of the Seattle Sounders’ coaching staff.
Following a melee involving both sets of players that the Uruguayan had sparked, the incident occurred shortly after the full-time whistle.
Before team-mate Sergio Busquets struck the Mexico international on the chin, Suarez, 38, grabbed Sounders midfielder Obed Vargas around the neck.
After being held back by team-mate Oscar Ustari, Suarez appeared to spit in the direction of the coach after an altercation with a Sounders employee moments later.
Seattle manager Brian Schmetzer responded to the question about the melee by saying, “Unfortunately, that is going to take some of the attention away from a Seattle Sounders performance.
Their players were irritated, which caused some unfortunate things to happen on the field.
“I’m going to stop there because that shouldn’t be the story,” she said. The game’s story is different from what transpired after it.
Javier Mascherano, the coach for Inter Miami, said, “I have nothing to say because I was far away and did not understand what transpired.”
Nobody wants these kinds of actions to occur. I’m not sure what happened, but there might have been provocation.
Suarez has had a number of contentious encounters with controversy throughout his career.
After being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra, he was given an eight-game ban at Liverpool in 2011.
He also received bans for three different biting incidents while playing for Uruguay, Liverpool, and Ajax.
Olivia Attwood, the star of Loose Women, has admitted that she arrives at work with hungover and is shocked when she examines video that has been made available to the public.

Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood is busier than ever – presenting hit TV shows, making documentaries and hosting a KISS radio show every weekend. But the TV star, 34, still loves to fit in the occasional big night out, telling Mirror she’s even been known to take to the airwaves with a sore head on a Sunday afternoon.
“I am very professional and I don’t go to work hungover, apart from the radio – and I need to stop doing that,” she reveals. “Even though the radio is recorded live, there’s this weird feeling that you’re not being watched. At the time the listeners are not watching, but then they put the clips out. I’m thinking, ‘Oh, my God!’”
She continues, “When I go out, I don’t want it to end.” My friends will be saying, “We should go, please.” at 6am in Soho. I’m like, ‘ No, one more! ‘ They say, “There is nowhere to go,” and they are right.

As well as co-hosting The Sunday Roast on KISS with Pete Wicks, Olivia made her presenting debut on This Morning this summer, and a new series of Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends is about to return to our screens.
In the show, a group of unsuspecting men are brought to a luxury retreat and put through a series of challenges by their girlfriends – with a little help from Olivia. Featuring a surprise appearance from former Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts, it seems we can expect this series to reach explosive new heights.
Olivia chuckles, “They are a rowdy bunch.” Sometimes I had to exert control over them on the ground. All these people have relationship histories, which makes them stand out as being full of tension.
And there’s a twist this time. She claims that in this series, we “give the girlfriends a little bit of light.” Why are you with them if I asked them to do a soul scavenging and said, “You brought this guy here and they don’t seem to have any redeemable qualities.

She claims that there are actually a number of people and stories. You’ll have a sister or friend who has gone through it, or you’ll relate to someone in that show. It’s “the closest you’re going to get to old-school reality,” the author says. It’s campaign and silly, and there’s drama and heart. You travel somewhere with each episode.
Nothing is also prohibited for the cameras. We make the most of raw moments. We take care of someone if they need a five-minute break. You can observe what might happen in some situations, but the majority of what happens happens is seen.
Olivia’s romantic relationship with footballer husband Bradley Dack, 31, is a little less dramatic than that of the series. Fans of her ITVBe series Olivia Marries Her Match followed the couple’s stunning wedding in 2023.

She’s the first to acknowledge that married life isn’t always so blissful, despite the dreamy wedding at London’s swanky Bulgari Hotel.
“Brad and I do have a lovely relationship, but he and I are not perfect, too. Although it’s not a perfect relationship, it’s still a good one. There is no such thing as perfect, which is the lesson we all have.
The couple’s careers have changed as a result of her being one of the hardest-working women in television. He used to play football and was always out, and now I’m the one who filmes seven days a week, and he has a lot of help from him. Because I work, I miss his football games. He replies, “You save all your nice personality for work and then you come in and say, “Where’s my dinner?”
Olivia claims that Brad accepts her for who she is. “I’m still going to a roo in Ibiza and don a bikini,” I said. She claims that’s who I am. He never attempts to depress me. When a guy has done that in a relationship, it’s very liberating when they embrace you for who you really are.
Olivia left the Love Island villa almost ten years ago, finishing third behind Chris Hughes. You get a crash course on dealing with being in the public eye when you leave, she says, but you can’t actually recall the experiences of life before.
Olivia maintains a refreshingly grounded mindset despite her success. She says, “I still don’t consider myself to be famous.” “Mariah Carey is well-known. Although I may be familiar to you if you live in the UK, my life is fairly normal.
She continues to grow in no time with her career on the up. She exclaims, “I’ve been working since I left that villa.” They can’t eliminate me, they say.
On September 14, Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends airs again on ITVX.
Mark Labbett, better known as The Beast, has previously stormed off the stage and struck a wall after being defeated by a group of contestants on The Chase.

Darragh Ennis has dubbed The Chase star Mark Labbett “the worst loser ever” after the 60-year-old “walked off” set when he failed to win a show. Darragh, 44, joined the cast of The Chase in 2020.
As one of the formidable Chasers, he appears alongside Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, Anne Hegerty, and Shaun Wallace. A team of four contestants compete against the Chasers to win a cash prize in the finale of the competition.
Since the show’s inception in 2009, 533 teams have successfully beat the Chasers and walked away with the money. On the Podcast Dempsey’s Dozen, host Ian Dempsey recalled a recent episode where Mark stormed off after losing in the dying seconds.
It prompted Darragh to reveal that The Beast hates” to lose. He explained: “We do take it seriously. Mark is, and he would not mind me saying this, the worst loser in the world.
He claims that he “does it,” and that is not an act. He might make a little comedic fun of it, but he is genuinely angry, sore-lost, kicks off, and then recovers five minutes later.

He dislikes losing, he says. When we’re doing Beat the Chasers, we have to tell him to stop buzzing in because he wants to get in there if he hasn’t responded to a question in a while.
Mark has a reputation for his fiery on-set antics throughout his time on the show. After host Bradley Walsh addressed a number of errors that resulted in two contestants receiving £30, 000, he reportedly punched a wall as he stormed off set in 2020.
After watching the dramatic exit, Bradley mused, “Oops, I think he’s upset,” before congratulating the winners.
The host continued, “Wow, he is furious,” when Mark returned to speak with him after he had not reappeared. For those of you who believe it to be a part of the show, it is not. He has actually fled and stormed off.

Two years later, Mark once more stormed off the set, this time thanks to a team that won a £21,000 jackpot. Bradley, 65, expressed regret on behalf of the Chaser and said it was inappropriate to handle defeat.

I apologize to all the children who were watching, Bradley said. You shouldn’t accept defeat in that way. You ought to take it humbly and magnanimously.
Mark subsequently apologised for the outburst in a social media post. Writing on X, then Twitter, he said: “Apologies to those of you disappointed with my behaviour tonight. My mental health was shot before that game, it was storm off or break down in tears. A remorseless diet of quality opponents didn’t help #thechase.”
