A court has heard howa disabled 93-year-old was sprayed in the face with synthetic pepper spray, shot with a Taser, and struck with a baton by police officers who responded to an emergency call at his care home.

Donald Burgess, who had one leg and used a wheelchair, was allegedly assaulted by PC Stephen Smith and PC Rachel Comotto at the home in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, on June 21, 2022. Smith, 51, denies two counts of assault involving Pava spray and a baton, while Comotto denies a single charge of assault by discharging her Taser.

Nigel Farage HUMILIATED by Keir Starmer leaving major question unanswered

After announcing his EU trade deal yesterday, Keir Starmer took to the House of Commons to make a statement on the agreement this afternoon. During the speech, our politics team spotted the PM humiliate Nigel Farage by pointing to a major unanswered question – where is the Reform UK leader?

The Prime Minister took aim at the outspoken politician after he savaged the new UK-EU deal yet was not present in the chamber during the PM’s statement on the agreement. Mr Starmer said Mr Farage has shown his party “simply do not care”. He also slammed Tory leader Kemi Badenoch and Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey.

Speaking in the Commons, Conservative leader Ms Badenoch said the deals with the US, India and European Union were “own goals” and said the Government had failed to improve terms agreed by the Tories. Yesterday Mr Farage branded the new EU deal a “betrayal of Brexit”, while Sir Ed a deal with “more ambition” could have been “ten times greater”.

King Charles to send powerful message to Donald Trump with historic visit to Canada

This Wednesday, our royal team revealed that King Charles will “reinforce the power and the strength of the message” to Donald Trump that “Canada is not for sale” when he makes a historic visit to the country next week. Charles will travel to Canada for the first time as monarch when he flies to Ottawa with Queen Camilla on Monday.

Ahead of their visit, the royal couple toured Canada House on Trafalgar Square where they were shown a giant map of the country’s historic sites. Ralph Goodale, the High Commissioner for Canada in the UK, said the visit would be significant in the wake of verbal aggression from the US president that Canada should become the 51st state of America.

Mark Carney, the newly elected prime minister of Canada, told Trump that Canada was not for sale following the US president’s comments. Mr Goodale said: “The prime minister has made it clear that Canada is not for sale not, is not for sale ever, and I think he probably added five ‘nevers’ after that to make the point.”

Before receiving a surprise honorary award at the Cannes film festival on Monday, Hollywood star Denzel Washington had a heated exchange with a photographer.

For the first time since filming “Highest 2 Lowest” with New York director Spike Lee, Washington, 70, was at the festival.

Prior to the screening, A $AP Rocky and his partner Rihanna were among the VIPs who gave the actor an honorary Palme d’Or.

It’s a total surprise, the author says. I’m so moved, according to an audience member, according to AFP.

The veteran actor had earlier a testy encounter with a photographer on the red carpet.

As the actor posed in front of a line of cameras, the photographer appeared to grab him by the arm. According to videos, Washington shook him before turning his finger at him and starting to appear to say “Stop it” several times.

However, Washington’s mood was undoubtedly improved by the positive reviews of his and Lee’s film despite the awkward incident.

The Hollywood Reporter praised the film’s “wit, high style, and kinetic energy to burn,” according to the Hollywood Reporter, loosely adapted from the 1963 classic by Japanese master Akira Kurosawa.

Washington was praised for his “magnificent form” in the film, saying he delivered “grinning monarchical assurance” as a music mogul.

In “Highest 2 Lowest,” A $AP Rocky stars alongside Washington, extending a Mary Bronstein acting career that included Mary Bronstein’s “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” which premiered at the Berlin film festival in February.

Festival director Thierry Fremaux screened a montage of Washington’s memorable performances, including those of Lee’s “Malcolm X” and “Mo ‘Better Blues,” before handing the prize to Washington.

Additionally, clips from “Glory,” which won him an Oscar for best supporting actor in 1989, and “Training Day,” which he also received the award for best actor, respectively, were shown.

Spike Lee wearing an orange pinstriped suit, round glasses, and an orange-and-blue hat, and A $AP Rocky displaying a gold dental piece, put on a show on the Cannes red carpet.

Rebekah Vardy’s husband, Jamie Vardy, partied up a storm as the striker bid farewell to Leicester City after calling it a day in front of the home fans at the King Power Stadium on Sunday

Rebekah Vardy joked that her husband and his teammates were “absolute animals” after his wild Leicester City send-off on Sunday. The former England star called it a day in front of the home fans at the King Power Stadium on Sunday after announcing he was leaving the club earlier this year.

To thank the striker, 38, for his impressive tenure at Leicester City after scoring 200 goals in 500 games, a huge surprise party was laid on in his honour. Sharing the bar tab from Jamie’s bash, Rebekah, 43, who has recently been ordered to pay nemesis Coleen Rooney almost £1.2 million for the Wagatha Christie trial costs, reckoned the revellers were “absolute animals” as she captioned the bill with three laughing emojis.

Included in the lengthy drinks list are 38 Tequillas, 66 Baby Guinnesses, 41 Jagermeisters, 52 Grey Goose vodkas, multiple glasses of Sancere wine, and numerous ‘S*** house Specials’, which are a heady mix of vodka and Red Bull.

Sharing a snap of the bespoke cocktail list, Rebekah also revealed a selection of Vardy-themed tipples, including an Electric Vardy, which is described as a spicy margarita.

Posting other photos from the party, Rebekah, wearing a slinky red dress and matching heels, hugs her husband as his pals cheer before they all become merry, bidding farewell to the footballer in a room strewn with blue and gold balloons and huge pictures of the Foxes hero.

Jamie is set to leave relegated Leicester City this summer after being linked to a surprise move with Crystal Palace. However, despite being 38, he isn’t hanging up his boots just yet. The Premier League and FA Cup winner has made it clear he’s keen to keep playing, and Crystal Palace have emerged as a potential new home for him.

Rebekah was spotted drinking beer with the Leicester City fans last week after finally agreeing to pay Coleen £1.19 million of her legal costs after the bitter battle at the High Court.

The mum-of-five is yet to comment on having to shelling out the cash to her arch nemesis, 39. However, she looked like her legal woes were the furthest thing from her mind when she rocked up to see Nottingham Forest take on Leicester City in a game, which ended 2-2.

Spotted in the away end, sporting a Leicester shirt with a pair of designer sunglasses perched on her head, beer in hand, Rebekah looked happy and relaxed as she smiled for a selfie next to a fan.

She was also pictured in the crowd watching the match as Jamie tried to score his 200th goal the Foxes in a game, which had both sets of fans up on their feet.

After the match, Rebekah posed with her husband and the couple’s kids, who were proudly sporting Leicester City shirts as they supported the footballer, who confirmed that he will leave the club at the end of the season.

S Club’s Hannah Spearritt has been living in Costa Rica over the last few months after moving to the country from the UK with her husband and two children earlier this year

Former S Club member Hannah Spearritt has teased that she’s embracing “new beginning” after leaving the UK just months ago. The singer moved to Costa Rica with her family earlier this year and has been sharing updates since then.

It was announced last year that Hannah, now 44, and her husband Adam Thomas were planning to live abroad with their two children, aged six and four. Hannah, as reported by the Sun at the time, had previously said about the prospect: “That’s the dream, to move to Costa Rica and buy some land or a farm and live the simple life with the girls.”

Hannah is said to have been inspired to set up the cafe Earth & Fire in Twickenham in 2022 after visiting Costa Rica four years prior. The business however reportedly didn’t end up opening and the property was later put up for sale.

It was said to be the “latest in a sequence of setbacks” prior to her relocating abroad. Hannah is said to have faced homelessness in 2023 and she dropped out of S Club’s reunion tour that same year. Her exit from the tour came after bandmate Paul Cattermole’s death weeks prior and Hannah said that her health contributed to the decision.

Earlier this year, Hannah confirmed that she had arrived in Costa Rica. She said in January: “Well … we finally made it to paradise. Beautiful country, beautiful people.” She’s shared updates on Instagram since and her bio reads: “Prepper, survivalist and creator now living the uninhibited jungle life.”

This morning, Hannah shared a photo of herself on a terrace overlooking a forest. She told her followers: “Looking out to new beginnings.. at our new #home! Next on the menu is to learn permaculture… and have a laugh at ourselves filming the planting of the fruit forest!”

Hannah teased that she’s embarked on a “new chapter” in a post on the platform just days ago. She wrote in a message to fans: “A little spirit. A little soil. And a whole lotta soul. New chapter blooming – messy, magical and more … ‘me’.”

And earlier this month, she gave a glimpse at the landscape of the community where the family have been living. She shared footage of a stream within a woodland and suggested that it was her “garden” in the accompanying caption.

Alongside the video, she wrote: “That’ll do for a garden…!!! The camera cannot even capture the sheer wonder of this place, the beauty leaves you speechless… And it’s even spring fed… so pure, you can swim in it… or drink it!”

Last month, she posted about the climate. Hannah shared footage of her kids swimming in a lake before showing a separate clip of rainfall. She said: “All in the same day! #rainseason is starting … but at least we can still swim in the river in 90 degrees before it rains! Truly spectacular country.”

In one of her first posts since arriving, Hannah told her followers in February that the area had helped her “recover from a challenging year”. She made the comment in the caption of photos, which included one of her beside her kids on a walk in the province of San José.

She wrote at the time: “Morning walks down to the waterfall… trying to keep up with the little legs! I’m putting together a little reel of this magical place that has really helped me recover from a challenging year and I’ll put the link in with it so you can enjoy it too if u like.”

From a swanky neighbourhood with tight security and private mansions to famed restaurants boasting some of the best cuisine in Spain, Madrid is a great place for a top footballer to live

Real Madrid is preparing to play host to a new England player, with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to the Spanish giants expected to be announced any day. The 26-year-old star recently revealed he was leaving his boyhood club on a free transfer after his contract with this year’s Premier League champions expired.

Real Madrid has asked Liverpool to release Trent for free to make him available for Club World Cup which starts on June 14, with the player booed by some fans after announcing his departure from Liverpool. He threw a “Summer of 66” BBQ to say goodbye to his teammates and staff, held at the club’s training centre.

If the star makes his expected move to the Spanish capital city, a luxury lifestyle will await him. The 26-year-old player would follow in the footsteps of English players including David Beckham, who won the La Liga title in his final, fourth season with the club and Jude Bellingham, who signed a six-year contract with Los Blancos in 2023.

And when it comes to moving to Madrid, there is one luxury neighbourhood footballers look to – La Finca. Known as the city’s answer to Beverly Hills, homes in the stunning locale fetch up to a cool £11 million and are a mecca for footballers and their families.

This was where Cristiano Ronaldo called home when he played for Real Madrid for nine seasons, with La Finca offering large, luxurious villas with private pools and gardens. The exclusive gated community provides the utmost in privacy and security, a must for the most famous names on the planet.

England star Jude Bellingham currently plays for Real Madrid and lives in the neighbourhood. The player resides in a £5.5 million, six-bedroom, 7,000 square foot mansion with his mum Denise, who cooks his meals and drives him to training.

A video posted by the footballer revealed a large outdoor pool, water feature, huge kitchen, home theatre and personal gym. His property boasts picturesque views over the swanky La Finca Golf Resort and mountain views.

“There are times when I go out to have a coffee near my house or go downtown to eat,” he told Real Madrid TV. “Then I go back home to rest for a while in the garden if it’s nice and sunny.

“If my friends are here, we go out to dinner and back home. It’s really nice. You meet people in the places you go to most. They don’t see you as Jude Bellingham the footballer, just Jude who comes to have a coffee and that’s great.

“The people I meet in the city look after me a lot. I feel at home.”

Over in the city centre, a 20 minute journey from La Finca, Madrid is filled with high-end eateries Trent could enjoy with his girlfriend of eight months, Instagram model Estelle Behnke. They include Mesón Txistu, which offers traditional Basque cuisine and is often frequented by Real Madrid stars and Asador Donostiarra, the preferred steakhouse of David Beckham when he played for Los Blancos which remains a favourite with the players.

BlackHaus, formerly known as Oh!, is a club and restaurant loved by Madrid’s rich and famous, while The Pacha nightclub is a city institution. And when it comes to shopping, footballers head to the Barrio de Salamanca neighbourhood.
