Elizabeth celebrated her milestone birthday in June, citing her previous relationship with Steve Bing’s son Damian Hurley, 23, and noted that the year has been “such a whirlwind that it was wonderful to sit back and be spoiled for a few days.” She would also like to take some time off from work, but has always preferred to be active.

She continued, “I’ve always enjoyed my work more than my social activities, and I enjoy them more at work than I do playing.” On a movie set, I feel more at ease than anywhere else.

Without a doubt, this has led to my struggle with a work-life balance since I first started in the field, so I’ve made the conscious effort to spend more time with my family and friends at home rather than just rushing from job to job.

Prior to his split from Firerose, Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker Billy had been married to Tish Cyrus for a number of decades. Together, they have Braison, 31, and Noah, 25, together.

They are also parents to pop superstar Miley Cyrus, 32, who shot to global fame when she and her dad starred together on Hannah Montana for Disney Channel nearly 20 years ago. Billy Ray also adopted Brandi and Trace, whom she has from a previous relationship, and he is also father to Christopher, 33, with Kristin Luckey.

Although Elizabeth called their romance “unexpected,” she admitted in May that she is optimistic about what lies ahead. speaking to E! She said, “It was unexpected. But together, we’re very content. And we can all look forward to a wonderful future.

She noted that she wanted to leave everything to “chance” rather than make plans because her big birthday was just approaching.

I prefer birthdays, but I always leave things to chance. I enjoy receiving presents, receiving flowers, and being treated to kindness for the day. Therefore, it will be enjoyable whatever we do.

Billy Ray praised Elizabeth as a “great human being,” and those sentiments followed. In an interview with The Ty Bentli Show, he warmly described their mutual friendship during the shooting of their 2022 movie, Christmas in Paradise.

We only ever had a few scenes of each other, according to Billy Ray, but there was chemistry when we did those scenes. We simply laughed, and I wasn’t laughing all that much at the time.

First, how much we laughed, was the strangest part. Second, I assumed that although we were very different, we shared far more in common than we were different.

Iran’s currency hits new low as ‘snapback’ looms over nuclear programme

Iran’s currency has sharply decreased again as the world’s powers push for resumption of UN sanctions against Iran amid stalled diplomacy and fears of war with Israel and the US.

In Tehran’s open currency market on Monday, the US dollar hit a price of more than 1.06 million rials, slightly higher than it had before Tehran and Washington mediated negotiations began in April.

The Iranian government and central bank have once more stated that the sharp decline in the country’s embattled currency is more a result of a psychological response to the country’s deteriorating political environment than a drop in economic activity.

The remaining European parties to Iran’s 2015 nuclear agreement, which includes France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, have triggered the “snapback” mechanism of the agreement, which would allow for the UN to immediately reimpose sanctions in exchange for restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran has now been given a one-month deadline to reach an agreement that could defer snapback by at least a year by the European allies.

The UN inspectors have access to the US’s nuclear sites, resume negotiations with the US, and be responsible for the country’s 408.6 kg (900.8 pounds) of highly enriched uranium, according to the IAEA.

Iran has claimed that the Western allies have demanded that the negotiations’ outcomes, not the starting point, be changed so they cannot be met. It has long maintained that its nuclear program is peaceful.

Iranian parliamentarians are also working on legislation to force Iran to renounce its nuclear weapons (NPT) and halt all cooperation with the IAEA if sanctions are reinstated.

IAEA inspectors were given this week’s authorization to inspect the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant’s replacement fuel, but they were not given further information because Tehran denounces the world’s nuclear organization for allegedly allowing Israeli and US airstrikes against Iran in June.

Tehran has also claimed that the European powers lack the legal authority to initiate the snapback process as a result of the US’s unilateral withdrawal from the landmark nuclear agreement in 2018 and the harsh sanctions it imposes on Iran.

Iran’s nuclear activities increased as a result of the sanctions, which were imposed by US President Donald Trump during his first term in office, by President Joe Biden, and then by Trump himself during his second term, increasing those efforts.

Other signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal that are opposed to snapback have also made an effort to coordinate their positions with Iran’s authorities.

The three countries’ foreign ministers released a joint statement on Monday, claiming that the move by the Europeans is “by default legally and procedurally flawed” and violates the UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution that underpins the nuclear agreement. They also called on the parties to “abandon sanctions and threats of force” in order to address the root cause of the situation.

Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, claimed on Monday that the European powers are abusing the UNSC’s role as a “instrument of coercion rather than a guardian of global security.”

In a post on X, he wrote, “The urgent task is to restore international law and build upon it to give diplomacy the foundation it needs to succeed.”

At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit on Monday in Tianjin, north of China, the leaders of Iran, China, and Russia met. Apparently, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met for a two-hour meeting.

On the eve of the SCO summit in Tianjin, China, September 1, 2025, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian and Russian President Vladimir Putin shake hands.

home crises

Despite the Western deadline, no breakthrough has been made, and Israel and the US have been making threats of additional strikes on Iran ever since the 12-day conflict ended in June.

Tehran’s currency market’s negative reaction reflects concern about the potential effects of reinstated UN sanctions on a nation that has endured years of severe sanctions from Washington.

UN sanctions would only worsen Iran’s isolation from international markets and make it harder to sell oil or other exports given that Iran’s inflation rate is still above 35 percent, one of the highest in the world.

Iran is also grappling with numerous domestic issues as external pressure mounts, in addition to decades of mismanagement and sanctions.

As a result of years of ageing and ineffective infrastructure, Tehran, as well as other cities, towns, and villages across the nation, have been experiencing daily power outages for months. Citizens have been frustrated by the interruptions, which also add insult to injury to industries that have been harmed by the sanctions.

The bustling capital city and other large areas of Iran are also dealing with a water crisis as a result of ongoing mismanagement and excessive use of water resources, as well as the growing droughts that have become more and more severe in recent years.

Internet speeds have been significantly slower and patchier than usual since Israel’s 12-day war ended, and the state has continued to block the majority of its websites and apps internationally.

Casualty star confirms romance with co-star after split from Call The Midwife actress

Following his split from an actress from Call the Midwife, cannabis saga heartthrob Olly Rix officially announced his new romance with a co-star on Instagram.

The 40-year-old actor, who plays dashing surgeon Flynn Byron in the long-running BBC series, is dating 28-year-old Anna Chell, who plays nurse Jodie Whyte alongside him.

As the pair officially opened Instagram, fans flocked to the comments to express their happiness. One person gushed, “You are actually made for each other. This is so cute.” Another person said, “My heart is so happy.” A third person wrote, “I never realized they were such a cute couple.”

After meeting on the set of the BBC medical drama, it was reported that they were present. The actor teased his followers on Instagram by posting a picture of Anna, which sparked rumors that the two co-stars were becoming romantically involved and getting closer.

They were pictured attempting to masonry together at a stonemason’s workshop in June when he posted a photo of them having fun together.

Matthew was a three-year cast member for Olly on Call the Midwife, and The Sun was the only source of information to join Casualty. Following the conclusion of his brief, illustrious romance with 41-year-old Helen George, who also plays a nurse, Trixie Franklin, on Call the Midwife, he made a comeback role in the Saturday night drama.

She also starred alongside her real-life partner, Jack Ashton, 38, who was the father of her two children, Matthew Aylward, the wife of Olly’s character, in a 2023 divorce.

“Olly’s in a really good place right now, at the end of his time on Call the Midwife,” according to an insider, after finding himself uncomfortably thrust into the spotlight toward the end of his time there.”

He has quickly transitioned to his new role on Casualty, found a new home in Cardiff, where the drama is shot, and is enjoying a blossoming romance with Anna.

In a few snaps, Olly showed off how he spent the summer.

“Drama’s devotees will undoubtedly be analyzing their scenes together to see if there are any hints of chemistry between them, assuming they haven’t already noticed any.”

Olly and Helen had previously been frequently photographed getting close together as their respective real-life partners split this year.

She split from actor partner Jack Ashton, whom she met on the BBC show in 2014, four months after making the announcement.

After seven years together, Olly and his makeup artist girlfriend Natasha Fagri ended their relationship around the same time. In the middle of 2024, their relationship came to an end. Olly unfollowed Helen on Instagram after the pair “drifted apart,” according to sources.

It’s nice to see you, Gethin replied. In July, Gethin and Helen had bid their last respects to Morning Live viewers. At the time, they announced that they would be “taking a few weeks off,” as is customary during the summer.

They teased their reappearance on social media days before their return. One viewer wrote, “Yay!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! What’s not to love about this valuable program that you can watch every day when you’re home from work. It’s so valuable and contains a lot of great health, money, fitness, cooking, and travel advice. I’ve missed you all, so welcome back.

And now they’re back, just weeks after it was reported that they had chosen to “cool off” their romance. Additionally, it was made three weeks after Gethin, 47, made the announcement that his father had passed away. He claimed that his father had passed away after a lengthy illness at the time.

Taking to social media, Gethin shared a picture of himself smiling alongside his dad in hospital. The Instagram post also included a heartfelt post about his beloved father.

The TV presenter remarked, “Wales defeated England,” in a well-known quote from Max Boyce. Before he left us this morning, Hymns and Arias with dad last night.

The most perfect, peaceful conclusion, Gethin sadly continued in his statement. Welsh hymns are playing, and the speaker phone’s grandsons bid you farewell.

Gethin explained how his father’s humor played a significant role in his final years by explaining how he had been battling the illness for a while. He said, “Dad, you were in trouble for a while, but you put up a good fight,” incredible. At the conclusion, it was wonderful to see how important faith, love for classical music, and dry humor were all present.

Someone would stop me and inquire about my father every day while I was visiting Cardiff’s Heath Hospital. He probably taught them once or twice. Over a long period of time, he had a significant influence on education in these areas. He was always reasonable and direct. a headteacher for 28 years, and a teacher for 40!

And Gethin made a point of thanking the NHS, labelling those who had been caring for his dad as “amazing”.

Morning Live on BBC One and iPlayer airs at 9 a.m., followed by BBC Breakfast at 6 a.m.

Russia suspected of jamming navigation on EU leader’s plane above Bulgaria

GPS jamming caused a plane carrying EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen to crash in Bulgaria, where according to officials, Russia is to blame.

Von der Leyen’s chartered jet reportedly encountered a jam as it approached Plovdiv International Airport in southern Bulgaria on Sunday, according to Commission spokesperson Arianna Podesta.

“We can confirm that there was jamming, GPS, and GPS, but the plane safely landed in Bulgaria.” The Bulgarian authorities have provided us with information that suggests that Russia is blatantly behind this, according to Podesta on Monday.

Bulgaria’s Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement that it had advised the pilots to use “terrestrial navigation tools” as an alternative way to land safely.

The plane was forced to land using “paper maps,” according to the Financial Times newspaper, which first covered the incident.

Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, responded to the Financial Times by saying “your information is incorrect.”

Western officials have accused Russia and its proxies of staging&nbsp, dozens of attacks, and other incidents, including jamming, which involves producing a strong radio signal that overwhelms communications since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Due to congestion, a Finnish airline was forced to temporarily suspend flights to Tartu, Estonia, in April of last year. A plane carrying the British defense secretary was stranded on its way to Russia a month earlier when its satellite signal was jammed.

Von der Leyen visited Bulgaria as part of a four-day tour of “front line” European Union member states that are viewed as more vulnerable to Russian threats, such as Lithuania, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria.

Podesta argued that the incident would “intensify the bloc’s unwavering commitment to increase defense capabilities and support for Ukraine,” underscoring the commission president’s “urgency” in the region.

In the event of a three-and-a-half-year Russia-Ukraine conflict, Western powers are discussing how to guarantee Ukraine’s security.

At the beginning of his second term as president, US President Donald Trump attempted to restart diplomatic relations with Russia, but diplomatic efforts have slowed.

Emily Blunt says filming The Devil Wears Prada sequel has been a ‘rude awakening’

Emily Blunt, the star of The Devil Wears Prada 2, has spoken about reprising her role in the eagerly awaited sequel. She played Miranda Priestly’s assistant in the first movie.

One aspect of filming the Devil Wears Prada 2 has proved to be a “rude awakening” according to Emily Blunt. She has also spoken about the original film remaining beloved by fans amid working on the much awaited sequel this year.

Emily, now 42, played Emily Charlton in the Devil Wears Prada, which was released back in 2006. Her character was introduced to viewers as the senior assistant of magazine editor Miranda Priestly, who was played by Meryl Streep.

They are both among the returning cast members who are back for the new film. Emily and Meryl have been spotted filming alongside co-stars Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci, who are reprising their roles as Andy Sachs and Nigel Kipling respectively.

Filming has been underway on the sequel in New York this summer. It comes after it was announced in June that production had begun on the upcoming film, which is currently expected to be released next year.

Emily spoke to Porter magazine last month about reprising her role in the sequel. During the interview, published today, she shared that her style is different to that of her character, revealing that she likes “oversized” pieces and “to hide”.

She said that even when she decides to “dress it up,” she will still wear a pair of trainers when talking about her “casual” wardrobe. Emily teased her by implying that she has been wearing heels as part of her character despite not being a fan of heels.

She continued, “Getting back to The Devil Wears Prada has been a rude awakening for all of us because I don’t like wearing heels.” For the upcoming movie, she inquired about how it has been “wild” slipping back into her character’s stilettos.

Emily then brought up the film’s popularity. None of the cast members anticipated the “meteoric life” it would continue to have and how its impact would be felt among the viewers, she claimed.

She added that her husband John Krasinski had described it as “people’s nostalgia bank” to her. Emily then suggested that fans have watched the Devil Wears Prada through various moments in their lives.

She continued, “Of course, I meet people who will quote the movie to me, but I’m not sure I’ve ever been bombarded with the realization of what the movie is to those returning to the movie set.” “Holy s**t,” she continued, “That’s what everyone says, every day.

Emily added that her family has “deep emotional roots” in the movie. Stanley, her co-star in The Devil Wears Prada, met Felicity Blunt, the mother of her two children.

Stanley is said to have first met Felicity at the film’s premiere almost two decades ago. The future couple later reconnected at Emily’s wedding to John, before going on to tie the knot themselves in 2012.
