Three Qatari officials have been killed in a car crash near the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, according to the Qatari Embassy in Cairo.
In a statement on Sunday, the diplomatic mission said that all three men worked for the Amiri Diwan, the administrative office of Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

The embassy described the incident as a “tragic traffic accident” and said the three men were killed while performing their duties.
The accident also resulted in injuries to two others, it added.
Both of the injured officials are receiving medical care at a hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh.
“The Embassy of the State of Qatar in Cairo extends its heartfelt condolences and sincere sympathies to the families of the deceased, praying that God envelops them in His vast mercy, accepts them in Paradise, and grants the injured a speedy recovery,” it added.
Lionel Messi scored two goals and assisted on another by Jordi Alba to lead Inter Miami to a 4-0 home victory over Atlanta United on Saturday night in Major League Soccer (MLS) at Chase Stadium in Florida.
Messi, who sat out his home nation, Argentina’s, friendly against Venezuela that was held in Miami one night earlier, started and helped Inter Miami (18-7-8, 62 points) guarantee itself at least the No 3 seed in the Eastern Conference with the victory.

The Herons still have a chance to secure the No 2 seed if they can finish with more points than FC Cincinnati, which also has 62 points. If the teams finish with the same number of points, Cincinnati would clinch the higher seed by virtue of the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Atlanta United (5-16-12, 27 points), which eliminated Inter Miami from the MLS playoffs in the first round last season, lost its third match in a row and is winless in its past five.
Both teams were short-handed due to the FIFA international window this week. But Messi, who chose to play for club over country this weekend, now leads the MLS in goals, with 26, and his 18th assist tied San Diego’s Anders Dreyer for the league lead.
Messi’s first goal came in the 39th minute when he controlled a crossing pass from Baltasar Rodriguez and curled in a shot to the far top corner to break a scoreless deadlock. His second goal capped the scoring in the 87th minute off an assist from Alba.
In the 52nd minute, Messi created the chance that led to Miami’s second score, when he looped a long ball across the field to Alba as he surged towards Atlanta’s goal. Alba did the rest, lobbing the ball over Atlanta keeper Jayden Hibbert.
Luis Suarez added to the tally in the 61st minute, when he timed a shot perfectly off a high clearance attempt by Atlanta into the back of the net, curling the ball past Hibbert. Inter Miami’s Rocco Rios Novo started in goal and recorded the clean sheet.
Atlanta United, which has been riddled with injuries to key players this season, had to deal with another when, in the 14th minute, Stian Gregersen was forced to leave the game with what appeared to be a potential hamstring issue.
Saturday’s fixture was the final MLS regular-season match at Chase Stadium for Inter, with the team relocating to Miami Freedom Park in 2026.

Find out what’s written in the stars with our astrologer Russell Grant(Image: Daily Record/GettyImages)
It’s Sunday, October 12, and one star sign tackles tasks they’ve been putting off, while another is desperate for relaxation.
There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.
These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
An email, text message or something you hear will cause some unease. The best way to find out what is going on is to call someone who is sure to have all the answers. It may take some time to get through to them but don’t give up. Things may not be as serious as they seem at first.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
Even if you have a good reason for asking, someone might be stubborn and they will refuse to help you out. Domestic issues are starting to come to light and after some discussion later in the day, they will be solved satisfactorily.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Misunderstandings should be handled with a sensible and practical way. While other people might get flustered, if you remain calm and composed you will be able to manage the situation effectively. Others will quickly take up ideas you suggest.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Everything will seem to happen so fast. It can feel like your life is being swept away in a whirlwind of activities. Before making any big decisions, take a moment to breathe. Only when you feel calm and clear-headed should you think about your next steps for the best outcome.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
You set a goal for yourself in the past and even though it has taken longer than anticipated to achieve this, you should not give up on it now. Accepting a little help will keep you pushing forward in the right direction and eventually you will hit that target you are aiming for.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
Plans you are making today will have a big impact on your future. Think ahead and consider all potential consequences of your agreements. You might find that some suggestions aren’t as beneficial as they seem at first glance.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
A career situation will take a surprising turn and this could work in your favour. Outside commitments might interfere with your home and family life and although today you might make them a priority, if you want to keep everyone happy, some reorganisation will be necessary.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
Time seems to slip away. It often feels like there’s no room in your life for relaxation and very little chance to play. There are responsibilities you cannot ignore and must get on with. As evening approaches, the pace will remain frantic and your mind preoccupied with concerns of the day.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
Even if you aren’t feeling up to it, you will definitely feel better once you tackle those tasks you have been putting off for a while. Push yourself to find the energy to meet your obligations. It will be a huge relief not to have to worry about them tomorrow.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
It’s a day when you will crave some peace and quiet. Friends and housemates may not be very understanding. They want to have some fun and they expect you to join in. Finding a few hours to yourself will be more difficult than you anticipated.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
It is hard to explain why you are feeling so restless when you don’t understand this yourself. It might be due to your job, your love life or your home situation but something is making you unsettled. Ideas that pop into your head are going to be hard to ignore.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Take advantage of this relaxed day to get some planning done. Before you know it, your time will be filled with obligations. Some organisation now will help you feel more in control and more able to handle whatever lies ahead.

There’s one ingredient that goes into the star’s salads that boosts the health benefits

Jennifer Aniston, famed for her role as Rachel Green on the sitcom Friends, does a lot to maintain her healthy lifestyle, with the right diet being crucial. The 56-year-old star is said to opt for salad often when she is on the go or between filming.
While most of us picture a heaping bowl of lettuce when we think of salads, the Hollywood star has a secret ingredient up her sleeve. It’s this something extra that she tosses into her salads that might be unlocking a lot of benefits.
Quinoa, a staple of the Mediterranean diet, is an excellent source of plant-based protein. It’s praised by scientists as a complete protein because it boasts all nine essential amino acids.
These edible seeds are gluten-free, fibre-rich and brimming with protein, vitamins, and minerals. This grain offers a wealth of health benefits, especially for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, according to BBC Good Food.
One reason quinoa should be on the shopping list of anyone aiming to lose or maintain weight is its high protein content. The protein helps curb the production of hormones that stimulate hunger, making it easier to resist the temptation of snacking, reports the Daily Record.
The “Jennifer Aniston” quinoa salad
The quinoa salad that went viral is a vegetarian dish that includes:
Cooked quinoa
Chickpeas
Pistachios
Feta cheese
Fresh mint and parsley
A simple lemon vinaigrette
Research suggests that quinoa’s fibre content (around 2.8g per 100g when cooked) helps with weight management, digestion, and gut health. It’s also packed with vitamins A and B2, which are beneficial for the skin, eyes, and nervous system, potentially reducing fine lines and promoting a youthful glow.
Quinoa, rich in riboflavin, can help boost skin elasticity and is beneficial for those struggling with acne. Its low glycemic index means it doesn’t cause drastic blood sugar spikes, making it a safe choice for diabetics.
This superfood is a powerhouse of iron, helping in the battle against iron-deficiency anaemia. It’s also rich in antioxidants that support heart health and protect various organs.

Quinoa also contains a reasonable amount of omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health. And, it offers a range of nutrients, including folate, manganese, thiamine, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.
Though it may be a bit pricier than other grains, you can easily find it in the supermarket, among other grains and rice options. Asda offers a 300g pack of quinoa for £2.97, which works out to about 29p per 30g uncooked serving.

A new star has been rumoured(Image: ITV)
A model and radio host is reportedly set for this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! years after insisting she would never sign up for the show.
Former glamour model Kelly Brook has reportedly been wooed with a big-money ITV deal to take part in the 25th series of the iconic show. Yet, in 2018 Kelly insisted she would never take part in the series. At the time she said: “I can just think of a million things I’d rather do. I’d rather go and work in my local pub.
“I don’t think I could, I really don’t, because I hate confined spaces. I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there. Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.” She added: “It’s kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion!”

But it seems her attitude may have changed as a source told The Sun on Sunday: “Show bosses have been after Kelly as a campmate for years and think she could possibly be their sexiest contestant ever. She’s glamorous, witty and a familiar face to ITV audiences, having appeared as a panellist for Loose Women and other shows. She’s guaranteed to make perfect TV viewing.”
The insider added of the Heart FM DJ: “Many viewers will be excited to see her strip off for the famous jungle waterfall show too.”
Kelly Brook started her modelling career at the tender age of 16 and quickly became a favourite in lads’ mags such as GQ, Loaded and FHM. She shot to fame aged 18, enjoying a hugely successful modelling career, and was crowned Sexiest Woman in the World in 2005.
She quickly became a lads’ mag pin up in her 20s and her fame took her all the way to Hollywood. Now 46, Kelly presents a show on Heart Radio and has re-established herself as a broadcaster.
These days Kelly is best known for being on Drivetime radio on Heart FM with Jason King and as a pannelist on Loose Women. Last year she and Judo champion husband Jeremy did take part in BBC series Race Across the World and she says it gave her the chance to show the world herself behind the celebrity persona.
Other recognisable faces are rumoured to be taking on the jungle such as Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley and Shona McGarty who quit her role on EastEnders this year.
LBC broadcaster Nick Ferrari is also among the rumoured names. However, ITV are yet to confirm a full list of while celebrities will be on the latest series.
A spokesman for ITV said: “We do not comment on speculation about I’m A Celebrity contestants.”
Seychelles’s opposition leader, Patrick Herminie, has won the country’s presidential race, defeating incumbent leader Wavel Ramkalawan in a run-off vote, according to the electoral commission.
Herminie won 52.7 percent of the vote, while Ramkalawan took 47.3 percent, official results announced early on Sunday showed.

In his victory speech, Herminie pledged to lower the cost of living, revive public services and unite the island nation.
“The people have spoken,” the 62-year-old said at the headquarters of the electoral commission.
“I am deeply humbled for the trust that the people have placed in me. I will be the president of all Seychellois, and I will end divisions by ceasing preferences, and giving everyone the opportunity to thrive,” he said.
Herminie’s victory gives his United Seychelles party full control of the government after it also reclaimed a majority in parliament during the first round of the general election last month.
The win is also a complete turnaround for Herminie, who in 2023 was arrested on charges of witchcraft that were later dropped. He previously served as speaker of the country’s parliament from 2007 to 2016.
Ramkalawan, who attended the electoral commission’s announcement of the results, congratulated Herminie, who becomes Seychelles’s sixth president.
“I leave with a legacy that makes many presidents blush… I hope President Herminie continues to maintain such a level,” he said.
Images published by the Seychelles Nation newspaper showed the two leaders shaking hands after the announcement.
Outside the electoral commission headquarters, thousands of Herminie’s supporters erupted in cheers and waved the country’s flag and party banners as they greeted him following his proclamation as the winner, according to videos on social media.
The race between the two main contenders was decided in a run-off after there was no outright winner in the presidential vote two weeks ago. Early voting began on Thursday, but most people in the island nation voted on Saturday.
Herminie and Ramkalawan ran spirited campaigns trying to address key issues for voters, including environmental damage and a crisis of drug addiction in a country long seen as a tourist haven.
Ramkalawan campaigned for re-election on his management of Seychelles’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and expansion of social protections.
But voters opted for Herminie, who accused Ramkalawan of presiding over a proliferation of corruption, and promised to cancel a hotel project permitted by his government that environmentalists say threatens a UNESCO-listed coral atoll.
Herminie has also pledged to lower the retirement age from 65 to 63 and implement recommendations from a truth and reconciliation commission that examined human rights abuses related to a 1977 coup and its aftermath.
A physician by training, he previously headed the government’s anti-drug agency, and has promised to tackle the country’s sky-high heroin addiction, blamed in part on the fact that the islands sit on a drug route between Africa and Asia.
The country’s Agency for Prevention of Drug Abuse and Rehabilitation says that 5,000 to 6,000 people use heroin out of a population of about 120,000. Other estimates put the figure as high as 10,000.
Seychelles, a nation of 115 islands, is Africa’s wealthiest country per capita.
