In the Hundred women’s competition at Sophia Gardens, Alana King and Ash Gardner clinched a comfortable 23-run victory over the fading Welsh Fire. Five wickets were taken between the Australian spinners of world class.
MATCH REPORT: Rockets defeat Fire, and King stars as they avoid being sacked.
They were once the tightest of brothers who devastatingly walked shoulder to shoulder behind their mother’s coffin.
But almost 27 years to the day since their late mother Princess Diana’s untimely death, the relationship between Princes William and Harry couldn’t be more different. The pair have been embroiled in a bitter rift with the brothers not believed to have exchanged even a word in three years since the death of the late Queen.
But despite their differences, there is no doubt both princes will be taking a moment on the anniversary of their mother’s death next week to remember the last impact she made on their lives – even if it is on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

And according to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, Diana would have been distraught by the rift. She told the Mirror: “Diana was immensely proud of her boys. Her drawing room was full of framed photographs of them and her eyes lit up when she talked about them.
“She loved to kiss and cuddle them – even when they protested. I’m sure that both William and Harry would give the world to have just one more hug with her now.
She would be distressed to learn how bitterly her boys have split up, I believe. She had hoped that they would become best friends with one another.
“Somewhat, I believe, she would have made a peace, and William and Harry’s relationship would never have been this bad.”
“Diana herself used to have a fight with some of her relatives, particularly her mother and stepmother,” but she usually settled things off. However, there is no chance that William and Harry’s rift will ever heal.
You would assume that the Princes would be the only two people in the world who could truly comfort one another on such a depressing anniversary because it must be incredibly difficult for them. But that is no longer the case.
Diana continues to be present in both William and Harry’s private and professional lives. Both men support causes that were close to their late mother, such as addressing HIV/AIDS and homelessness.
Diana’s granddaughters, Princess Charlotte and Princess Lilibet, both have her name as middle names while the Princess of Wales and Duchess of Sussex often wear pieces of her jewellery.
And Jennie continued, “Both William and Harry have consistently made it clear that their mother is always in their minds and hearts every day.”
They keep the Princess as close as possible, from the engagement rings they gave their wives to the Diana pictures they have around their homes.
Harry and William have different looks, but William is the younger brother who exhibits more of her rebellious personality. Both have fought to preserve her memory by supporting causes like homelessness, mental health, and the scourge of landmines in Africa.
“It must be odd for them to realize that their mother passed away many years earlier than either of them.” It’s a child’s perspective on a parent strange.
She would have been 64 by now, and I believe she enjoys being a grandmother. But I suppose Diana will always be remembered and forever be dear to her boys.
Before his performance at Basingstoke’s CarFest, pop star Sam Ryder was spotted arriving in an off-road vehicle and doing his “adrenaline racing.” As he was escorted in the Dacia Sandrider, the star appeared to be prepared for his very own trip to the moon.
Later, Ryder performed a number of hits, including his most popular single “Space Man” and new material from his most recent album, “The Feeling Never Went Away,” on the Dakar Rally car’s stage. The 2022 Eurovision winner stepped out of Micheldever’s nearby train station to board his next mode of transportation, even sporting his own racing suit.
“Sam Ryder in the Sandrider,” according to a Dacia spokesperson. We’re proud to have delivered Sam in a manner that is memorable. Sam is a true example of rugged capability, which the car is all about.
He “seen the perfect match for the vehicle,” according to NASA, who may not yet be ready to launch one of these into space, but they’re pretty useful in the majority of our planet. “
From 2025, Dacia will compete in the World-Rally Raid Championship (W2RC) and the Dakar Rally. The races take place in some of the toughest and most demanding environments in the world, where drivers must climb peaks and maneuver through slick turf.
Body panels are only a necessity for the Sandrider itself, which is why it is called “absolutely necessary.” With no unnecessary details and a strong emphasis on aerodynamics, the car is stripped back to its fundamentals.
For the demanding demands of rally-raid events, it has been upgraded with a reinforced subframe and bumpers, carbon bodywork, double wishbone suspension, and a 4×4 transmission.
Even in the most challenging circumstances, an innovative electrical system provides power for all on-board accessories.
Sabelt’s seats are made of special anti-bacterial materials that self-regulate humidity to combat the car’s harsh temperatures. The car’s body also has a magnetic plate to prevent the fixation bolts for the wheels from getting lost in the sand.
In solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, tens of thousands of protesters have marched in cities across Australia, calling for an end to Israel’s conflict. Organisers demand an arms embargo and a sanction for Israel from the government.
An oil facility and a power plant in Sanaa were both targets, according to Al Masirah TV, a Houthi-affiliated organization. Israel claimed that it also targeted a “military complex” in the Yemeni capital, as well as a presidential palace.
According to Al Masirah, the attacks resulted in at least two fatalities and 35 serious injuries.
Two days after the Houthis claimed a missile launch against Israel, Israel was the subject of Israeli strikes as part of a Palestinian organization’s campaign to pressure Israel into putting an end to its hostility and occupation of Gaza.
The Israeli military claimed that the Houthi terrorist regime had repeatedly attacked Israel and its citizens, including by launching surface-to-surface missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles into its territory.
According to a Houthi military official, the group’s air defenses “neutralized most of the Israeli enemy aircraft participating in the aggression and forced them to leave.”
After the Israeli attacks, fire and smoke erupted over Sanaa in footage obtained by Al Jazeera.
The Houthis quickly reaffirmed on Sunday that the group’s military support for Palestinians will not be hindered by the Israeli attacks.
Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti stated in a statement that “the Israeli aggression against Yemen will not prevent us from continuing our support for Gaza, no matter the sacrifices.”
“Eternity in heaven or hell is the solution is now apparent to us,” he said.
Houthi Defense Ministry official Abed al-Thawr called Israeli claims that it attacked military installations on Sunday “lies.” He claimed that Israel bombed Yemeni civilian infrastructure to cause suffering.
Al-Thawr claimed that the presidential palace, which was attacked on Sunday, has been deserted for a while. He claimed that what Israel is doing is barbarism.
The Houthi-dominated Government of Change and Reconstruction in Sanaa also referred to the Israeli attack as a “war crime” that shows columns of smoke rising above Sanaa and aims to hurt Yemenis and lead to a “fake victory.”
The Israeli government is conducting an open war against the Arab and Muslim world, according to a statement released by the organization.
Israel has been bombing Yemeni ports and power plants for a month. However, the attack on Sunday occurred shortly after last week’s Israeli navy attack on a Sanaa power station.
Just hours after losing a cameraman he had worked with, a journalist in Gaza covered the killing of his relatives live on television. Khaled al-Madhoun, a Palestinian TV personality, was fatally shot by Israeli forces while he was delivering aid to a distribution center.
