In a dramatic twist to his case, a British man admitted to deliberately ploughing his car into crowds at the Liverpool Football Club’s Premier League victory parade on May 23. He changed his plea on Wednesday.
During the May 26 incident in Liverpool City Center, which left hundreds of people injured, including infants and children, Paul Doyle initially denied the 31 charges, including grievous bodily harm with intent, wounding with intent, affray, and dangerous driving.
Doyle entered his guilty pleas to each count on the second day of his trial, sobbing in the dock as he sobbed in a suit and glasses.

Beginning on December 15, he will receive a two-day sentence.
He was instructed to prepare for “a lengthy custodial sentence” by Judge Andrew Menary.
As revelers left the May 26 parade to celebrate Liverpool’s victory, Doyle, a former Royal Marine, reportedly ploughed his Ford Galaxy Titanium  into numerous people.
According to Merseyside Police, he injured 134 people, including children, adults, and other children.
50 people needed hospital care, despite there being no fatalities.
When the Premier League season came to an end, the victims were celebrating the club’s 20th English top-flight victory, which was unheard of.
In front of hundreds of thousands of spectators, the team’s players had paraded the trophy along the city’s waterfront.
Some of the city’s main thoroughfares had been made available for normal traffic so the parade could pass.

Police quickly determined that the incident wasn’t terrorist-related. However, the alleged attack’s circumstances have largely remained undetermined.
The top regional prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service, Sarah Hammond, claimed that Doyle had “finally accepted that he purposefully entered crowds of innocent people.”
She noted that his car’s dashcam footage showed that “he deliberately drove at them, forcing his way through” and that “he became increasingly agitated by the crowds.”
She continued, “Driving a car into a crowd is a calculated violence.
Paul Doyle made the decision to turn the celebration into mayhem, not a momentary lapse, he said.
29 victims, eight of whom were children at the time, were named in the criminal charges. The youngest was six months old.
Father-of-three Doyle, who has been in police custody since his arrest, will continue to serve until his sentencing.
As rugby extends a trial that adjusts equipment to anatomical differences, the best women’s sevens players will use a smaller ball, known as a size 4. 5, instead.
The HSBC Svns series, which kicks off in Dubai on Saturday, will feature the ball, which is 3% smaller than a standard size five but weighs the same.
A man’s hand is typically 10% larger than a woman’s. Other sports use different equipment for women’s sports, such as basketball and basketball’s lower sprint hurdles.
In the under-18 Six Nations of 2024, a previous version, which was both lighter and smaller, was used.
Players are helped by the new incarnation, which is the same weight as a size 5, without having their kicking impacted by it.
“Rugby World Cup is committed to supporting women’s rugby in forging its own path to suit our players, not just following the history of the men’s game,” said Melodie Robinson, chair of Rugby World Cup’s Women’s High Performance Committee.
“We’re focusing on player feedback and giving them the best possible setting to showcase their world-class skills,” the company said in a press release.
Women’s players are divided on how to use various balls in the men’s game.
Some have praised it, but others think it’s important to match the men’s game and are concerned about the cost of having separate equipment for grassroots clubs.
Other adaptations have been made for the women’s game, with boot and kit manufacturers creating products that are more appropriate for female bodies than lowering the price of men’s goods.
A mandatory head injury check is also subject to a different threshold.
Because it was thought that women were more prone to concussions, women’s instrumented mouthguards are triggered at 65G rather than 75G for men.
Then, England coach Simon Middleton suggested that touchline conversions be moved a little further in the women’s game to explain the “natural discrepancy between male and female athletes” in 2023.
Kickers’ conversion rates increased from 51% to 61% in the previous tournament’s three years, making it the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup record.

The American rancher, one of Donald Trump’s most steadfast voting blocs, has had a whiplash-inducing month.
Ranchers have found themselves caught between the president’s desires to appease both them and the American consumer in the wake of high beef prices, starting with Trump’s quip on October 19 that the US would increase beef imports from Argentina and the ensuing rancher backlash following the announcement of an investigation into the hyperconsolidated US meatpacking industry and the removal of tariffs on Brazilian beef.

The lowest herd size for beef cattle since the 1950s has led to higher cattle prices for US ranchers. Other factors that limit supply include the Mexican border’s closure due to concerns about screwworms and high tariffs on imported beef.
Cattle prices paid to ranchers are distinct from those for consumer beef, which were $6.32 for a pound (453 grams) of ground beef in September, an 11 percent increase from $ 5.67 per pound in September 2024. Due to the government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics did not release economic data, including the consumer price index for the month before.
Trump’s plan to import more Argentinian beef was met with opposition from his typically devoted ranchers, who they perceived as a threat to their recent economic successes.
They would be acting in a manner that they have for the past 20 years, which is Terrible! Trump stated in an October post on his Truth Social platform, “It would be nice if they understood that.”
Corbitt Wall, a commercial cattle manager and market analyst, is clear that he “totally supports Trump and everything he does,” but he also saw hubris and a misunderstanding of the president’s cattle industry.
He told Al Jazeera, “There was not a person in the cattle business on any level who was not insulted by that post.”
Since Trump’s announcement on October 21st, Wall has religiously followed prices across the cattle trade, from ranch to slaughterhouse, and has witnessed a decline in the futures market for cattle by more than 15%.
Futures prices affect cattle ranchers’ future sales prices, which will also affect future sales prices. Wall said he hopes Trump leaves the cattle market alone for the sake of ranchers.
He doesn’t understand the impact a statement can have on our business because he doesn’t live in this place, he said, and he does in fact do in this cattle world.
Years of challenging weather
Rancher in Oregon David Packham claimed that many ranchers are still struggling despite years of declining cattle prices.
Years of drought across the nation caused some ranchers to sell their cattle, raising feed costs for everyone. Additionally, tractor-to-pick-up truck prices have increased, especially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and are expected to increase even further as a result of Trump’s tariffs.
Packham said he has sold cattle at a loss frequently and doesn’t want consumers to believe that ranchers are raising livestock for the price.
Because I couldn’t afford $100, 000 for a new tractor, Packham said, “I’m looking at a 40-year-old tractor that I use on a daily basis just to keep putting it off replacing it, making repairs, even though it’s difficult to find parts for now, just to keep it limping along.” We have all this loss carryover, so when I say we’re not really making a lot of money, it’s because of it.

Up until Trump’s first term, Packham was a registered Republican. Ranchers who criticize Trump, he said, are in a minority in the community because of the president’s comments about Argentina and the subsequent chaos in the cattle industry.
“I’m noticing more and more of them [ranchers] who have been cautiously neutral and who are now kind of like me and who just say, “You know what?” No. This is bulls***. He’s a train wreck, Packham claimed.
The “Perennial issue”
However, Trump’s announcement on November 7 that the big four US meatpackers, Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef, will be subject to a Department of Justice investigation for “potential collusion, price fixing, and price manipulation,” is something that action ranchers can support.
Because the four companies, which own more than 80% of the market, have historically had little negotiating leverage on ranchers looking to sell cattle.
However, the first Trump administration’s investigation into meatpacker price fixing was initiated in 2020 as a result of a gulf caused by falling cattle prices and rising consumer beef prices. Under President Joe Biden’s administration, the investigation continued, but it never came to an end. Just before Trump announced the antitrust investigation in November, the investigation was quietly closed with no findings, according to Bloomberg News.
The administration’s announcement regarding the antitrust investigation is “entirely for political consumption,” according to James MacDonald, a research professor in agricultural and resource economics at the University of Maryland.
You can gain some political ground by attacking the packers, according to MacDonald, because it is a recurring problem that “p***es off ranchers.”
Packham said that because of the squeeze caused by the tight cattle market, packers are operating with slimmer margins and not from an absolute position of power.
More than 3, 000 people were employed at Tyson’s Nebraska beef-processing plant as of Friday. The decision, according to MacDonald, was “shock” because it showed how severe the US beef shortage is. Years of drought, which wiped out grazing lands and slowed herd rebuilding, contributed to the current low cattle inventory in the US. Years of work go into improving the cattle supply chain.
It’s a fundamental and kind of a fact, according to MacDonald, and it won’t change for a while.
MacDonald also doubts that Argentina’s increased imports will help to lessen this shortage or lower prices because the country primarily exports lower-grade, lean beef to the US, which accounts for only 2% of imports. He anticipated that while the import market will be impacted by the reintroduction of largely lean Brazilian beef, overall beef supply will be impacted less by it.
McDonald also cited heifer retention figures, which indicate how many female cattle ranchers hold back to produce future herds, which are still low.
These figures were likely taken into account when Tyson made the decision to shut down its plant in Nebraska, and McDonald asserted that the industry doesn’t anticipate a rebound in herd numbers either.
Tyson claims that he doesn’t believe cattle supplies will soon rebound, according to MacDonald.
Trump’s recent policies’ actual mechanisms may not temporarily alter consumers’ bottom lines or alter the cattle market, but Wall is more concerned about the effects of the news cycle, claiming ranchers are “live and die” by the cattle markets. Despite Wall’s shaken faith, he still believes that ranchers will support Trump in spite of the election results.
There is no way for people to choose that option, according to Wall, when you consider what the other side has to offer. They will stick with him in the long run, they say.
Kam Hogg passed away. The Scottish actress, who kept her age, was receiving care at St. John’s Hospice in Hackney, east London.
Her family shared the devastating news on social media on Wednesday. Her family said in a statement that the late icon had posed on a beach and that she had recently passed away.
We are relieved to know that her final moments were peaceful and surrounded by dear friends and family. For the lovely help they gave Pamela in her final days, we want to thank all the staff at St. Joseph’s Hospice in Hackney.
Pamella left a magnificent legacy that will continue to inspire, delight, and challenge us to live beyond the bounds of convention. She left a profound impact on the lives of many people of all ages. Our thoughts and feelings will remain engraved in Pamella. A glorious life was lived and loved.
The fashion icon was being cared for at a hospice in East London (Getty Images for GAY TIMES).
In the 1980s, the late designer (Alan Chapman, Dave Benett, Getty I) rose to fame.
“Professor Hogg, fearless and brilliant,” wrote Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters. Fly, my sister, xx. Three heart emojis were added by Sadie Frost, saying, “Love you, Pam.” Andu Oliver, a chef for TV, said: “I’m so sorry to hear about our beloved Pam. What a woman! The one and ONLY! “!
Telly and Fearne Cotton, a former radio host, said, “Pam. Oh, Pam . What a pleasure to get to know you. Pam, you’ll be missed. Additionally, the band’s drummer, Garage, posted a moving tribute on her own social media pages. The music producer remarked, “That’s you away, hen.” Our dearest and most renowned physician. Our beloved Scottish fashion designer. I appreciate everything.
The extraordinary, explosive sense of humor that never ceases to amaze you with great force is “the brilliance, the bravery, and the extraordinary, explosive sense of humor.” You will find yourself in the long and storied history of British fashion and in the creative, pioneering work of every and every fashion designer who leaves your path. A genuine original has been lost in the world.
“One of a kind.” a human jewel. You will be missed. Your family and all those who had a deep love for you will be in love with you. Your entire community is mourning. You’re almost cackling from the heavens and enjoying the spectacle and the darkness of the theater.
Hogg, a favorite of the underground club scene, created latex, mesh, and razor-sharp looks in the 1980s, making him one of the biggest trailblazers in British fashion in the 1980s.
She quickly gained popularity among people like Lady Gaga, Björk, Grace Jones, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, and Debbie Harry, to name a few. However, Hogg’s designs did not only include music royalty. A Pamela outfit was once worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
While Princess Eugenie attended Royal Ascot in 2013, she also donned a custom Pam Hogg black and white hat.
