Preparations are well underway for the highly-anticipated event this weekend with a number of guests gathering at Gloucestershire's All Saints' Church this afternoon.
When Marc Payoyo was roused early from his slumbers, it was not the sultry night that had disturbed his sleep but the worried-sounding voices outside his open window.
There are now 380 confirmed cases of Ebola in DR Congo, far lower than initial estimates of suspected cases, writes Fergus Walsh.
โA clear majority of his party wants him in charge, but the tighter his grip becomes, the farther he drifts from the rest of the countryโ
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has unveiled a $518m (ยฃ386m) six-month plan to fight Ebola, as the number of cases continue to grow.
At least 3,000 Herero and Nama people died in a German concentration camp at Shark Island, Namibia. A new forensic exhibition in Berlin is using digital technology to unearth how colonisers scarred a landscape, and a community Visiting the Namibian port town of Lรผderitz in late 2024, I came across a small museum run by descendants of German settlers. Alongside imperial German flags and memorabilia, it displayed artefacts of the Herero tribe that had been recovered from nearby Shark Island. What went unmentioned is that, from 1905 to 1907, Shark Island was the site of a concentration camp where Herero and Nama prisoners were subjected to forced labour, starvation and systematic abuse. At least 3,000 people are estimated to have died there. Shark Island was used as a tourist campsite when I visited. Monuments on the island honoured Adolf Lรผderitz and Heinrich Vogelsang, the German merchants who helped establish the colony known as German South West Africa. Today, it is widely reported that Namibiaโs white minority โ less than 2% of the population โ owns roughly 70% of commercial farmland. Continue reading...
Migrant insects have been seen in large numbers along east coast thanks to heatwave and benign southerly winds If youโve spotted a pale orange butterfly dashing at frenetic pace through streets, fields or gardens, youโve noticed the new migrants that will add colour to the summer in record-breaking numbers. What is expected to be the largest arrival of painted lady butterflies in Britain for 17 years is under way after heatwaves and favourable winds ushered thousands if not millions of the insects northwards.

British Retail Consortium figures show footfall rose in May, with consumer confidence improving after spending squeeze Greater numbers of consumers went shopping last month as spring sunshine brought welcome relief to retailers, which have faced a squeeze on spending since the US-Israel war on Iran. Figures from the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and a separate survey by the accountancy firm BDO showed a bounce-back in footfall during May, reversing a sharp decline in April. Continue reading...
(Atlantic) After scrapping an album and starting anew, Lizzo still sounds lost amid these weak genre-hopping songs. Perhaps the zeitgeist has simply left her behind Just over a year ago, Lizzo appeared on Saturday Night Live, announcing a new album called Love in Real Life in grandstanding style. Wielding an electric guitar, clad in a Trump-baiting T-shirt that read Tariffied, she performed its title track and two other new songs, Still Bad and Donโt Make Me Love U. As with her appearance earlier the same week on a late night talkshow โ during which she ran into the audience to high-five fans who were yelling โwe love you Lizzo!โ โ it looked very much like a defiant comeback, fit to drag her out of the controversy that erupted at the end of her hugely successful 2023 world tour. Three former backing dancers and a costume designer filed lawsuits against the singer alleging harassment and discrimination: damaging claims given how Lizzoโs songs have preached a message of inclusivity, body positivity and self-confidence. Some of the allegations were dismissed by a judge but others are ongoing; Lizzo has refused to settle out of court, saying: โIโm fighting the case because I know that itโs not true.โ But the Love in Real Life single, a pivot towards rock that owed a little to Tom Pettyโs American Girls โ or the Strokesโ American Girls-indebted Last Nite if you prefer โ failed to make the charts, a far cry from the period between 2018 and 2022 when Lizzoโs singles seemed to go multi-platinum as a matter of course. The same fate befell Still Bad, a track much more in the vein of her big hits, prompting a rethink. The album was pulled, Lizzo apparently taking control of her own destiny โ โI need to do shit my wayโ. A mixtape that returned her more-or-less to where she started, before pop stardom came calling โ punchy hip-hop, albeit tricked out with guest appearances from Doja Cat and SZA โ appeared in its place: My Face Hurts from Smiling received mixed reviews and underwhelming streaming figures.

Successful jokes are thin on the ground in the musty sixth installment of the once-popular parody franchise, taking aim at everything from Scream to Sinners The Scary Movie series has always depended on timing. Not necessarily in its gagcraft, which has oscillated between occasional sharp jabs and many beyond-broad blows, but in its position on the release schedule. This was especially true of the first installment, which arrived in theaters just a few months after the 2000 release of Scream 3, capitalizing on the new wave of slashers while holding a spoofy Viking funeral for that just-concluded trilogy. A quarter of a century later, horror endures and thereโs no reason to think spoofs canโt endure in parallel along with it as Backrooms and Obsession have ruled the early summer box office. The sixth Scary Movie, repeating the first movieโs unnumbered title as a simultaneous nod to and act of reboot branding, is releasing too soon after those surprise smashes to incorporate them into its litany of gags (not even some last-minute ADR references, guys?). Itโs stuck far further back, doing a composite of the fifth and sixth Scream movies from 2022 and 2023, respectively. On the other hand, with the recent Scream 7 largely abdicating its self-referentiality entirely, Scary Movie arrives as the last horror-comedy holding the torch for in-jokes that its self-serious cousin couldnโt bother with.

Lebanese government agrees ceasefire with Israel but Israeli drone strikes continue. Plus the story of the man who launched Cubaโs first independent magazine Good morning. Israel and Lebanon have agreed to implement a ceasefire to end hostilities, the Trump administration has announced โ but it comes with caveats. Not only is the deal contingent on a complete cessation of fire from the Iran-aligned Hezbollah armed group, and on the evacuation of all its fighters from the area south of the Litani River, but Hezbollah has not been part of the talks. Where has Israel been targeting? William Christou in Beirut reports that three hospitals in southern Lebanon have been attacked by Israel in under a week, wounding more than 150 people and killing nine. Analysts and human rights experts have said the attacks on healthcare facilities were aimed at degrading the conditions for life in south Lebanon. What did Israel say about it? The military said it had struck โHezbollah infrastructure in the area of Tyreโ and acknowledged a hospital was โaffected incidentallyโ. It accused Hezbollah of โtaking overโ one of the hospitals it struck. Is that number significant? Yes, the 90-day threshold is important because the 1973 War Powers Resolution lays down that a president must seek congressional approval to continue waging war after hostilities have continued that length of time. Trumpโs White House has rejected that argument, citing a temporary ceasefire that has been in place since 8 April โ although it has been broken several times by the US, Israel and Iran.

New official statistics show there were 466,372 teachers in 2025, a decrease of 1,900 on the year before, when Labour came to power.
The union argues that instead of cutting teacher recruitment, the government should use falling pupil numbers to make class sizes smaller.
If confirmed by the Senate, Trump's former personal lawyer would become the administration's number one prosecutor.
The number of people withdrawing money from a LISA is outpacing the number using one to buy a home. Why?
The attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the military to at least 207
