市长：如果权力下放资金流向大区域将十分危险

作者：JONATHAN WALKER 怀特霍尔编辑

安迪·伯纳姆（ANDY Burnham）收到警告，称他的权力下放计划可能会对一些最贫困的社区造成弊大于利的后果。

该警告来自米德尔斯堡的工党市长克里斯·库克（Chris Cooke）。他领导着一个代表英格兰北部、中部和南海岸地区 50 个当局的团体。

他敦促首相就从威斯敏斯特转移权力的提案咨询各议会领导人。

伯纳姆先生的想法包括首次将一部分个人所得税收入交给区域市长。目前的重点一直放在区域市长和联合当局上——但较小的地方议会表示，他们也必须被纳入其中。

库克先生表示，将权力交给少数几个区域市长“感觉并没有让权力更接近民众”。

他声称，如果权力下放意味着削减地方议会的资金，那将是“极其危险的”，并补充道：“如果你想讨论我们如何以一种更紧密、更准确的方式影响当地社区，那么这实际上是地方议会的职责，因为他们更能了解相关区域。”

区域机构能够交付

大型基础设施项目，“但要了解街道层面的需求可能会变得困难得多”。

人们还担心，允许各区域通过地方所得税或保留商业税来筹集更多资金，可能会损害贫困率或失业率较高的地区。

由库克先生领导的团体中的许多议会都深受贫困之苦。

在敦促部长将议会纳入讨论时，他表示：“这对我们的居民至关重要，这对我们的城镇和城市至关重要，我们希望参与讨论——我们希望在场。”

伯纳姆先生曾担任大曼彻斯特区域市长九年，

随后他接替 Sir Keir Starmer 成为首相。

一项民意调查显示，地方所得税将不受选民欢迎。

Ipsos 发现 46% 的人反对允许地方当局或区域市长设定个人所得税，而 24% 的人支持。超过一半（53%）的人预计如果权力下放，将会增加税收。

Ipsos 研究总监瑞秋·布里斯利（Rachel Brisley）表示：“地方自豪感并不自动转化为对个人财政权力下放或进一步权力的渴望。公众在地方决策与他们的工资单之间划了一道明确的界线。”

政府表示：“我们将确保资金分配对每个人都公平。”

君临城取景地解决过度旅游危机

官员们已经解决了杜布罗夫尼克日益严重的过度旅游危机，这场危机是由《权力的游戏》粉丝引发的。

这座克罗地亚沿海城市是 HBO 热播剧集中“君临城”的现实取景地。

专家表示，在 2012 和 2015 年之间，该剧每年直接为这座城市带来超过 244,000 名游客。

区域研究表明，仅在 2018 年，由剧集引发的旅游业就在全国范围内创造了 £1.54 亿 的收入。

粉丝们纷纷前来，亲自尝试瑟曦·兰尼斯特那段艰辛的赤脚赎罪之路（见插图），或拍摄剧中的热门景点黑水湾（Blackwater Bay）和博卡堡（Fort Bokar）。杜布罗夫尼克曾被认为是欧洲过度旅游最严重的城市，每 1 名居民对应 27 名游客。这种情况在 2017 年演变成了一场危机，当时杜布罗夫尼克被列入全球过度旅游观察名单。

但当地当局启动了一项剧烈的扭转战略——“尊重这座城市”（Respect the City）项目。该项目与杜布罗夫尼克大学合作开发，并与联合国教科文组织（Unesco）的建议保持一致，城市引入了数字化监测工具和定时入场系统，以实时追踪游客流量，将游客分散在全天不同时段。交通和航运制度也得到了采用，同时商品店被封锁。

杜布罗夫尼克市长马托·弗兰科维奇（Mato Frankovic）表示：“幸运的是，这一切都已成为过去。我们把事情理顺了，现在一切都很好。”

家庭对……感到愤怒

延续第一页

方向盘”。韦特在撞上灯柱后，在了一英里外停下。

尽管当时他身边有一瓶喝了一半的伏特加，但因危险驾驶导致死亡而被判处仅八年监禁——且法官裁定他需服刑三分之二。

但来自诺福克郡克罗默的 31 岁女性罗西及其家人接到了毁灭性的消息：根据工党的计划，韦特将在几个月内出狱。

伯纳姆先生此前通过暂停该计划给批评者带来了一线希望——但在他休假前又撤回了决定，这意味着提前释放仍将释放包括杀人犯和家庭暴力者在内的数千名罪犯。

工党声称此举将有助于解决监狱过度拥挤的问题，但家属和受害者担心这会带来新的痛苦。

罗西回忆起首相透露那个夺走她姐姐生命的男人可能很快重返街头的那一夜：“我充满了愤怒……我以为他们做出决定需要更长时间，我当时愤怒得无法入睡。”

这位身为牙科护士且育有三个孩子的母亲在谈到韦特时补充道：“他不应该被提前释放，他对公众构成威胁，没有任何证据能保证他不会再次作案。他是个危险的人，而且他杀过人。”

“他只被禁驾七年，而且禁令通常根本无法阻止人们开车。他在醉酒开车时完全不顾生命，在撞到我姐姐后依然没有停下，这一事实表明他对生命毫无悔意。”

马尔科姆·韦特撞击费内拉后继续行驶

“我们曾以量刑过轻为由提出上诉，但我们一直被告知我姐姐的生命并不重要，因为这是初犯，而且他使用的仅仅是一辆车。”

“如果他开枪打死她，他会受到更重的处罚；但因为他是醉酒驾驶汽车，他反而被轻判。在杀人仅服刑四年之后，他不应该获得提前释放。”

罗西及其家人在 2023 年对韦特的八年刑期提出上诉，但法官表示判决没有问题。

她担心自己“辜负”了费内拉，因为政府“没有在倾听”。罗西补充道：“安迪·伯纳姆在明知受害者家属会提出质疑的情况下做出了决定，然后他逃到假期中去了，这样他就不用回答这些问题。”

“我们的暑假被搁置了，因为我正在发起活动，试图理解为什么这件事会发生在我的家庭身上。”

“我的丈夫、我和孩子们没有像首相那样可以随心所欲的奢侈。”

“我理解人们需要度假，但这时机选得非常糟糕；他上任才短短五分钟。感觉他就像是在周一匆忙公布决定，好让自己能趁机去度假。”

“韦特是对公众的威胁……他杀过人，不应该被释放”

上个月，在得知 2019 年被全地形车窃贼拖至死亡的英雄警察安德鲁·哈珀（Andrew Harper）的两名凶手可能符合条件后，首相匆忙暂停并下令审查提前释放计划。

但在休假开始前，伯纳姆先生承认，只有被判定犯有强奸、诱导以及严重儿童性犯罪的囚犯不具备资格。

而像导致哈珀警官和费内拉·霍斯（Fenella Hawes）死亡而被监禁的杀人犯，仍可能被释放。

罗西在收到一份来自缓刑服务局（Probation Service）的信函中被告知，韦特仍然符合条件，最早可能在 10 月出狱。她说：“他们甚至没有给我们一个具体日期，这只是一封显然发给所有受害者的简短通用信函。”

“这与我们的具体案件无关，只是在说‘情况就是这样’——而且这还是在我从媒体上听到消息两天之后才收到的。”

悲痛

“我认为政府没有考虑到他们将此事告知受害者的时间跨度有多短。家属很难适应如此快速的变化。

“当你多年来经历悲痛的不同阶段，然后突然被告知这件事，它真的会让那些痛苦重新涌现。”罗茜和她的国会议员斯特夫·阿夸罗内（Steff Aquarone）写信给司法部，要求澄清韦特将被释放的原因。

家属表示，他们收到的是一份“通用回复”，重复了首相此前所说的话。

司法大臣亚历克斯·诺里斯（Alex Norris）本周在广播中表示，他将与罗茜及其家人会面。

尽管罗茜已经提供了她的联系方式，但她尚未收到其办公室的消息。

罗茜表示，她对所有受释放计划影响的受害者及其家属感同身受：“我知道在某种程度上，我们的案件规模比

罗茜的国会议员斯特夫·阿夸罗内

哈珀警员（PC Harper）的案件要小。我非常震惊，两名因导致其死亡而被定罪的人竟然仍被释放。

“危险驾驶致死罪的指控总是较低，且被视为较轻的罪行，但事实并非如此；它依然导致了死亡。

“如果你坐在驾驶座上，那么汽车就是一件你可以用来杀人的武器。

“再加上醉酒程度达到法定限额的四倍半，这绝对增加了你伤害他人的可能性。”

提前释放计划

小女儿后心碎欲绝，难以描述他们的痛苦。

罗茜说，她父亲想询问伯纳姆先生，如果有人杀害了他的亲戚或朋友，在四年之后，他是否会觉得正义得到了伸张。

北诺福克郡的自民党国会议员阿夸罗内先生表示，罗茜的家人在“面对凶手可能提前释放而被迫重新经历悲痛的情况下，依然勇敢地发声，展现了非凡的勇气”。他补充道：“我无法接受一个醉酒程度超过法定限额四倍、杀害了一名年轻女性且仅在监狱服刑四年的罪犯，竟然可以被考虑提前释放。

“部长们未能回答家属提出的简单问题：一名被判定为危险驾驶致死的人如何能符合该计划的条件——以及一项夺走费内拉生命的罪行，在释放目的上如何能被视为‘非暴力’？司法大臣现在已承诺会见罗茜。

侮辱

“我打算确保他兑现那个承诺。”

预计将有约 5,000 人在量刑变更后被提前释放，在公布排除名单后，这一数字从 6,000 人下降。

保守党议员尼克·蒂莫西（Nick Timothy）表示： “这是工党令人震惊的提前释放计划所造成的人道代价的又一个例子。当费内拉被杀时，罗西和她的家人承受了无法用言语形容的痛苦。

“安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）拒绝透露将有多少杀人犯被提前释放，也不愿确认他计划如何阻止从 9 月 2 日开始的释放。这是对受害者和公众的侮辱。

“保守党将继续奋斗，以确保杀人犯、恋童癖和性犯罪者留在监狱中。工党有 4,000 个可用名额，而目前有 10,000 名外国人占据着我们的监狱。”

费内拉的家人并非唯一遭受毁灭性打击的人。

卡尔文·巴克利（Calvin Buckley）怀孕的伴侣弗兰基·朱尔斯-霍夫（Frankie Jules-Hough）在 M66 公路的一场车祸中被阿迪尔·伊克巴尔（Adil Iqbal）杀死。

他在撞击这位 38 岁的母亲及前《Hollyoaks》演员之前，拍摄了自己以 123 英里 / 小时时速驾驶的视频。

伊克巴尔在承认 2023 年造成危险驾驶致死后，被判处 12 年监禁。

巴克利先生告诉 BBC Breakfast： “我理解现在存在危机，我也同意需要解决这个问题——但不能以牺牲受害者为代价。

“任何该类别的罪犯……绝不应该被考虑提前释放。”

司法部表示，其正在“以自维多利亚时代以来最快的速度增加监狱名额，启动规模最大的电子脚镣扩张……并增加对受害者的支持”。

伯纳姆在 U 型转弯中“手忙脚乱”

作者：乔纳森·沃克（JONATHAN WALKER）

在披露安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）正考虑阻止杀害警察安德鲁·哈珀（Andrew Harper）的凶手提前出狱后，他被指责在修改自己的计划时显得“手忙脚乱”。

据一名政府消息人士透露，首相准备“探索所有选项”以将杰西·科尔（Jessie Cole）和阿尔伯特·鲍尔斯（Albert Bowers）留在监狱中。

但此前，政府一直抵制阻止这两名杀人犯参与提前释放计划的压力。

影子司法大臣尼克·蒂莫西（Nick Timothy）表示：“令人难以置信的是，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）在担任首相后的第一项行动，就是决定让恋童癖、家庭虐待者和杀人犯提前出狱。现在他不得不手忙脚乱地阻止杀害哈珀警官的凶手被释放，这简直是可耻的。他本应在就职第一天就阻止这件事。”

一名司法部发言人表示：“我们已经明确表示，我们希望采取进一步措施，阻止更多罪犯提前出狱，但如果不这样做，就无法冒着监狱崩溃的风险去实施。”

法拉奇：我将创造 22k 监狱空间

作者：乔纳森·沃克（JONATHAN WALKER）

根据改革英国党（Reform UK）的计划，外国囚犯将被驱逐出境并在海外服刑，这将有助于结束过度拥挤的危机。

党魁奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）及其内政发言人齐亚·尤苏夫（Zia Yusuf）今日将承诺，通过此举释放 10,000 个监狱空间。他们还计划在 18 个月内为英国囚犯建造可容纳 12,000 名囚犯的“南丁格尔式”监狱。

法拉奇先生表示：“目前有 10,800 名外国囚犯。你要将他们遣返，要么回到他们的母国，要么寻找一个愿意接收他们的第三方国家。

“在新冠疫情期间，他们聘请了一位擅长物流的陆军准将，在五或 6 天内，他就建成了能够容纳数千人的南丁格尔医院。虽然当时不需要，但应急方案在那儿。我们可以建造南丁格尔式监狱。改革英国党将把正义带回英国，确保那些犯有谋杀、强奸和严重暴力等重罪的人服满刑期。”

现金接受度正在下降

40,000人签署请愿书，强制商店接受现金支付

作者：乔纳森·沃克 (JONATHAN WALKER)

活动人士正敦促政府介入，以确保商店和关键服务部门接受现金支付。

一份由超过 40,000 人签署的请愿书警告称，随着使用网站和手机应用程序进行支付的普及，数百万人面临被排斥的风险。

活动团体“银色之声”（Silver Voices）的丹尼斯·里德（Dennis Reed）表示，老年人尤其容易受到影响。

他表示：“从停车场到休闲设施，再到商店和摊位，我们面对的是‘不收现金或支票’的告示。这其实就等同于在说不欢迎养老金领取者或低收入家庭——因为产生的影响正是如此。”

“数百万人没有智能手机，不知道如何下载应用程序，或者根本不上网，而现在他们被当作二等公民对待。”

敌对

他呼吁制定法律，以确保企业被强制接受现金或其他非数字化方式的支付。

该请愿书要求政府制定一项战略，并警告称：“随着互联网安全威胁的增加以及敌对外国政府的存在，如果没有一个健康的现金系统作为后盾，那将是彻底的疯狂。”

请愿组织者、来自德文郡的 67, 岁女性艾丽西亚·库姆（Alicia Coumbe）表示：“现金应该是法定货币。商店应该接受它。”

英国金融行为监管局（FCA）已经出台了相关规定，以确保全英国都能获得现金，例如通过自动取款机（ATM）。

然而，目前并没有法律要求零售商必须接受现金。

下议院财政委员会的一项调查也发出警告：“政府必须采取行动，管理现金接受度下降的问题。”

“我们将终结被写入法律的左翼觉醒意识形态，它让养老金领取者损失 £50K”

保守党誓言要阻止“觉醒意识形态”（woke ideology）削减养老金价值，并使人们陷入悲惨的退休生活。

在一项调查发现环境、社会和治理（ESG）实践“可能使平均每位养老金领取者损失超过 £50”后，专家们反应愤怒。

保守党影子大臣迈克·伍德（Mike Wood）誓言：“我们将终结这一切。”

被写入立法中的左翼意识形态，正在鼓励养老基金管理人进行“政治正确”的投资，而不是追求最高回报。

但这导致缴纳养老基金的工人在退休时，可支配的资金池规模缩小。

由“更好的英国中心”（Centre for a Better Britain）进行的分析还发现，主要投资者采取的政策通过在“英国及其盟友意识到需要大规模重新武装的精准时刻”拒绝提供资金，从而“系统性地惩罚国防工业”。

此前已有警告称，数百万劳动年龄人口正走向老年贫困，因为他们的养老金储备将不足以维持生活。

由政府设立的官方调查机构养老金委员会（Pensions Commission）表示，1500 万 名劳动年龄人口的缴费不足，无法在退休后享受合理的

首席政治评论员

生活标准。伍德先生表示：“ESG 规则正让生活拮据的养老金领取者损失数万英镑。”

“能够保障养老金领取者未来的优质投资，不应因为不符合左翼意识形态而被禁止。”

“保守党将废除 ESG 报告制度，减轻企业的负担，并为专注于能为养老金领取者及全国其他地区带来实效的增长扫清障碍。”

更贫穷

一个来自“更好的英国中心”（Centre for a Better Britain）的报告发现，ESG政策阻止了基金经理投资于“罪恶股票”，例如“传统的石油和天然气公司”以及“烟草、酒精和博彩公司”。

这意味着一名 45 至 54 岁、拥有 8 万英镑 私人养老金储备的人，在 25 年内可能会损失超过 5 万英镑。

政策研究中心（Centre for Policy Studies）经济政策负责人丹尼尔·赫林（Daniel Herring）表示，养老金领取者因此变得更贫穷。

他补充道：“英国人的储蓄是基于养老基金能够自由管理其投资，以实现最佳退休生活的假设。”

“无关的 ESG 要求破坏了这一目标，这意味着人们在老年时会比原本可能的情况更贫穷。”

将劳动者推向节俭的退休生活

一家智库报告称，养老金领取者错失了利润丰厚的投资机会

评论

亚历克斯·伯格哈特（ALEX BURGHART）

内阁办公室影子大臣

当我们缴纳税款时，我们希望看到辛苦赚来的钱能发挥最大价值。

无论是医疗服务、我们的道路，还是我们共同出资的公务员系统，资源能否高效且公平地使用至关重要。

但安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）正通过针对所有希望赢得政府合同的公司实施意识形态新规，来破坏这一切。

由于工党的缘故，这些公司面临着被迫听从工会指挥的局面。

如果竞标政府合同的公司能允许工会接触其员工、在就业时优先考虑特定的“群体”，并为员工提供灵活工作制（这可能导致更多居家办公和更多四天工作制），那么它们可能会获得青睐。

这将影响许多公司。那些为国民医疗服务体系（NHS）提供服务和设备的公司、为公共部门员工提供培训的公司，甚至为政府大楼提供餐饮服务的公司都将受到影响。

他们现在都将面临更高的成本，而这些成本将转嫁给纳税人，这可能意味着未来的加税。

与此同时，据报道，觉醒的 ESG 目标由于将优质投资排除在范围之外（因为它们不符合左翼意识形态），正导致压力巨大的养老金领取者损失数万英镑。政治被置于实用性之上。这个问题延伸到了整个商业领域。目前，英国企业必须申报他们如何实现 ESG 目标——这又是对其资源的另一种不必要的负担。

保守党将取消这种 ESG 报告，以减轻企业的压力，并为专注于增长扫清障碍。

这将为养老金领取者以及全国其他地区带来最佳结果。

机会”，而许多企业则在压力下屈服，发布定期报告详细说明他们如何为“社会正义”做出贡献。

保守党已誓言废除该立法。但工党正在鼓励使用 ESG 政策，并赋予了英国金融行为监管局（FCA）对其进行监管的权力。

工作和养老金部表示，该报告依赖于“过时”的说法。

该部门表示：“受托人负有信托责任，应根据其对何种方式能带来强劲回报的评估，以成员的最佳利益行事。我们正与行业和监管机构合作，以明确这些职责在实践中如何适用，并支持自信的

投资决策。此外，作为一代人以来最大规模养老金改革的一部分，我们全新的性价比框架将使储蓄者能够首次将其计划与市场上的最佳方案进行比较，从而解决目前导致一名平均成员在五年内损失 5,000 英镑 的业绩差距。”

重创

但智库繁荣研究所（The Prosperity Institute）的弗雷德·德·福萨德（Fred de Fossard）表示，历届政府一直用“监管、指令和税收窒息英国的金融服务业”。他补充道：“所有这些都有成本，而最终由我们所有人

承担，表现为更小的养老金储备和表现更差的个人储蓄账户（ISA）。”

前养老金大臣阿尔特曼男爵夫人（Baroness Altmann）表示，基于 ESG 标准筛选公司可能会“显著损害长期回报”。

保守党还抨击了政府的新规定，该规定要求竞标政府合同的公司证明其正在提供“社会价值”，这可能包括给员工提供履行工会职责的假期以及提供灵活工作制。

Dani Dyer 童年时曾上过课

节目嘉宾拥有舞蹈和舞台经验

作者：EVE WAGSTAFF

在披露今年演职人员中有多位嘉宾此前曾有过舞蹈或舞台经验后，《舞动奇迹》（STRICTLY）受到了维护。

数据显示，这部 BBC 节目最新 15 人阵容中，有 60% 的嘉宾此前曾学习过舞蹈、就读于舞台学校、研究过表演艺术或参与过舞台剧制作。

但一名内部人士表示：“并没有规定名人参加节目前不能有舞蹈经验。而且几乎不可能找到一个完全没有舞蹈经验的名人阵容，因为娱乐行业中的许多人都就读于舞台学校。”

预计将在今年秋季阵容中公布的最后三位嘉宾分别是足球 YouTuber 约翰·内利斯（John Nellis）、《加文与斯泰西》（Gavin & Stacey）女演员梅拉妮·沃尔特斯（Melanie Walters，饰演格温）以及冬奥会金牌得主塔比·斯托克（Tabby Stoecker）。

拥有舞蹈经验的人员包括达妮·戴尔（Dani Dyer），她小时候在东伦敦的 O'Farrell's 舞台学校学习了 12 年。

同为《爱之岛》（Love Island）冠军的卡奇·默瑟（Cach Mercer）称自己是“来自东伦敦的专业舞者”，而《东区东区》（EastEnders）的宠儿蕾西·特纳（Lacey Turner）在女孩时期就读于西尔维亚·杨戏剧学校（Sylvia Young Theatre School）。

澳大利亚歌手德尔塔·古德雷姆（Delta Goodrem）在孩童时期也上过舞蹈课。演员杰米·温斯顿（Jaime Winstone）在埃塞克斯郡的哈洛学院（Harlow College）攻读表演艺术 BTEC 国家文凭。

《龙之屋》（House of the Dragon）女演员贝瑟尼·安东尼娅（Bethany Antonia）就读于伯明翰的 BOA 创意、数字与表演艺术学院。

就读于苏格兰舞蹈学院的《艾默代尔》（Emmerdale）演员劳伦斯·罗布（Lawrence Robb）是该节目最新确认的嘉宾。

独家报道

作者：GILES SHELDRICK 首席记者

在一项里程碑式的法律裁决引发广泛反对之后，J.K. 罗琳承诺将出资支持旨在保护女性基于性别的权利的诉讼。

这位《哈利·波特》作者设立的基金为那些反对威胁受保护的单性别空间的意识形态的个人和组织提供了资金支持。

与此同时，国民医疗服务体系（NHS）收到警告，称公共部门试图绕过单性别明确定义的行为将导致法律诉讼，使纳税人损失数百万英镑。

人们担心，由于缺乏明确的职场指导，在信托机构忽视员工和患者顾虑的情况下，医院将陷入混乱和困惑。

这位 61 岁的作者兼活动家敦促任何需要资金支持的女性患者或员工提出申请。

罗琳女士表示：“最高法院在‘苏格兰女性诉苏格兰部长’（For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers）一案中的裁决明确了《2010 年平等法》中的‘性别’一词是指，且一直是指生物学性别。”

“尽管有此判决，许多组织仍未能履行其为女性和女孩保证单性别空间的职责。”

“因此，该基金目前将优先处理那些有助于确保该裁决在女性和女孩日常生活中产生实际效果的案件。”

她的干预正值人们对平等与人权委员会更新的实践准则的反对情绪日益高涨之际。该委员会被迫对其现有的准则（首次发布于 2011 年）进行重大更新，以反映最高法院裁决后的性别定义。

去年 4 月 16 日发布的判决对法律中的性别定义给出了明确答复，指出就《平等法》而言，生物学性别是不容否认的，而该法提供了法律上的职场保护。

伤害

该准则涵盖英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士，确认一项服务必须基于生物学性别提供，才能被归类为单性别服务。

但该准则并未带来清晰度，反而引发了混乱与分歧，伦敦的若干左翼议会和 NHS 信托机构誓言抵制，理由是这“损害了跨性别者的权利”。

该基金旨在支持那些因表达“生物学性别不可改变”的信念而失去生计、收入、遭受伤害或受到歧视的人员。

据称，该基金面向那些被强迫遵守破坏受保护单性别空间的非法政策、惯例或指南的人，以及那些积极挑战剥夺女性和女孩在 2010 年《平等法》及其他立法下应享有之自由、保护或保障的政策、惯例或指南的人。

罗琳女士补充道：“事实是，无论是那些错误地认为自己是女性的男性，还是那些通过女装获得性快感的男性，实际上都不是女性。他们全部都是男性。其动机无关紧要。”

“男性无权享有女性辛苦赢得的权利。”

最高法院裁决的支持者（包括那些为女性安全而奔走的人）表示，抵制对公共场所进入权限的妥善管理，证明了许多人长期以来的怀疑——即公共部门已被一种极具破坏性的意识形态所掌控。

新准则不具有法律约束力，但就最高法院判决后如何遵守现有法律提供了指导。

此前发生了一系列极具破坏性的法庭斗争，所有这些斗争都让 NHS 蒙羞。

达勒姆郡和达灵顿 NHS 基金会信托允许一名生物学男性护士根据其职场过渡政策使用单性别设施。但在 1 月，一个就业法庭认定七名女性同事成为了非法歧视的受害者。

女性权利誓言

评论

安德里亚·威廉姆斯 (ANDREA WILLIAMS)

基督教法律中心 (Christian Legal Centre) 首席执行官

令人震惊的是，公共部门——包括若干议会——公开宣布将无视反映最高法院关于《平等法》中性别含义里程碑式裁决后既定法律的指南。

公共机构没有奢侈地选择服从哪些法律、忽略哪些法律的权力，不能因为政治或意识形态的分歧而如此行事。

通过发出将继续执行与法律立场相悖之政策的信号，这些议会让自己完全暴露在法律挑战之下，并使纳税人面临潜在的巨额成本。

这揭示了意识形态掌控在公共部门部分领域中根植得有多深。

被削弱

一些议会领导者似乎更感兴趣于发表政治声明并抵制包括法院在内的民主机构，而不是确保女性和女孩能够获得法律保障的单性别服务和保护。

最高法院提供了亟需的法律明确性，而平等与人权委员会（EHRC）的指南旨在帮助各机构遵守该裁决。

任何企图削弱或规避这一明确性的行为，只会给服务提供者、员工和公众带来混乱、不确定性和冲突。

政府现在必须明确表示，公共机构应当遵守法律，而不是选择性地重新解释法律。如果公共部门被允许出于意识形态原因而忽视法律义务，那么对法治的信心将被严重削弱。

需要采取紧急干预和强有力的执法，以确保女性的权利、安全和尊严得到妥善保护，并确保公共当局对法律负责。

为单性别空间法律斗争筹集资金

斗争，说道：“太多雇主采取的政策将关于‘性别’的争议性观点视为既定法律。质疑这些政策的女性往往被描绘成问题所在，而不是被视为提出正当关切的员工而受到倾听。”

“EHRC 更新的实践准则为服务、公共职能和协会带来了受欢迎的明确性。但它并不涵盖就业。那么，针对工作场所的同等指南在哪里？”

“缺乏更新的就业准则并不意味着雇主可以忽视《平等法》、工作场所条例或法院判决。”

“机构也不能在无限期等待他人采取行动的同时，继续执行可能基于对性别错误理解的政策。”

达勒姆郡和达灵顿 NHS 基金会信托基金（County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust）可能需承担高达 £125 万 的费用（包括法律成本），原因是其与 26 名女性中 7 名签署了 2024, 年 3 月一封反对一名男性使用其安全空间的信函的女性之间进行了一场注定失败的斗争。

嘲弄

同样是 护士的詹妮弗·梅勒（Jennifer Melle）在因对一名恋童癖患者“性别误称”而被停职后，在公众愤怒日益高涨的情况下，埃普瑟姆和圣海利尔大学医院 信托基金（Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals Trust）被迫屈服，她随后得以复职。

该信托基金使用了纳税人的钱在庭外解决了这场纠纷。

根据 EHRC 的指南，如果服务提供者认为其他人可能会反对跨性别者的出现，则允许将其排除在单性别空间之外。

这意味着认同自己为女性的男性没有权利进入仅限女性的空间，例如休闲中心的更衣室——但工作场所仍然不受影响。

保守党党魁凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）将公共部门对“激进性别意识形态”的痴迷描述为对法律的嘲弄，并表示：“政府必须采取行动结束这些荒谬的猎巫行动。”

“苏格兰女性为了女性”（For Women Scotland）的共同主任苏珊·史密斯（Susan Smith）和马里昂·卡尔德（Marion Calder）在去年的里程碑式法律斗争后，被拍到在伦敦最高法院外庆祝。

一名 发言人表示：“ 将很快发布一份针对医疗服务的、经批准的关于单性别住宿的新指南，与其他公共部门机构保持一致。在此期间，医院应在 EHRC 准则设定的原则范围内行动，以确保所有患者都能在尊严和尊重中得到照顾。”

一名政府发言人补充道：“每个人都应该遵守法律。”

“该准则为服务提供者提供了他们所需的清晰、可行的指南，如果机构仍不明确，应寻求专业的法律建议。”

高温持续...

昨日，热爱阳光的人们纷纷涌向户外，今年第五波热浪即将到来。

沿海水域和河流吸引了许多身处干旱地区的人们，公园里也挤满了人。

在多塞特郡的“多塞特小艇日”（Dorset Dinghy Day）活动中，数百人在克赖斯特彻奇的斯图尔河上玩起了桨板、皮划艇和独木舟。

又一项天气记录被打破，肯特郡弗里滕登的最高气温达到了 30.6℃，使今年气温达到 30℃ 的天数总计达到 35 天——超过了 1995 年的 34 天。

这项新纪录预计在本周将被再次刷新，预计周四东英吉利和英格兰东南部气温将达到 36℃。

作者：JAN DISLEY

英国气象局的 Tom Morgan 表示：“另一波异常炎热的天气即将到来——尤其是英格兰和威尔士。”

“到周三和周四，气温可能会达到 35℃ 左右。”

英格兰大部分地区已发布直到明晚的黄色高温健康预警，提醒医疗和社会护理服务机构需求将增加，弱势群体面临的危险将升高。

地中海气候使葡萄园生长茂盛，但缺乏降雨对农民及其作物、野生动物和园艺爱好者来说情况极其糟糕，而山火正成为日益严重的威胁。其中包括上周末由消防员在伦敦西部海耶斯控制的一场草地火灾。今年 5 月的第一波热浪之后，6 月又迎来另一波，当时诺福克郡林伍德记录到了今年的最高气温——38℃。

缓解

7 月创造了更多记录——成为有记录以来阳光最充足且最干燥的 7 月。此外还出现了两波热浪，而英格兰有 19 个郡的降雨量在 1mm 或以下。水库储水量目前处于 69% 的容量，其中 5 个被归类为极低。位于萨默塞特郡埃克斯穆尔中心地带的温布尔球水库（Wimbleball）便是其中之一，其储水量不足最大容量的 50%。英格兰已有 7 个地区处于干旱状态，环境署预计本周其他地区也将发生变化。超过 2500 万 人受到软管禁令限制，而运河水位低导致了交通限制。

可能会有缓解的机会。8 月通常是英国夏季最潮湿的月份，迹象表明最后两周的天气可能会变得不稳定。

但专家建议，要解决当前的危机，我们需要连续数周高于平均水平的降雨量。

与此同时，苏格兰西北部在周末经历了 10cm 的降雨量——超过了该地区月平均降雨量的一半。

伯纳姆必须倾听犯罪受害者家属的心声

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）曾凭借一名“倾听者”的领导者形象赢得了巨大的声望，并且在上个月掌权后，他承诺将与民众保持密切联系。现在，我们的新任首相是时候证明他在说这些话时是否真的认真了。

伯纳姆先生应该从罗茜·谢泼德（Rosie Shepherd）痛苦的恳求开始听起。罗茜的妹妹费内拉·霍斯（Fenella Hawes）在 20 岁时，正带着要送给母亲的向日葵礼物，却被车辆撞倒身亡。

驾驶员是 72 岁的马尔科姆·韦特（Malcolm Waite），警方将其描述为“在方向盘后见过的最醉的人”。

现在，他是数千名即将被提前释放的罪犯之一，这是政府应对监狱危机措施的一部分。

罗茜讲述了在决定公布的那晚，她内心充满了愤怒，以至于无法入睡。不出所料，这位三个孩子的母亲正在发起活动，旨在阻止杀害她妹妹的凶手在仅服刑八年刑期的一半后就被释放。

罗茜抨击伯纳姆先生“逃到度假去了”，而不是面对关于其决定所产生影响的质询。

新政府的前 100 天是决定未来变革基调和节奏的关键时期。

伯纳姆先生必须确保他的首相任期不会因为他在危机爆发时躺在日光浴椅上，而导致危险罪犯被释放到街头，从而给他的任期定调。

JK 开启新篇章

数百万人通过虚构作品熟悉 J.K. 罗琳（JK Rowling）。但这位《哈利·波特》的作者兼女性权利活动家现在承担起了一项新使命：说出真相，不计后果。

对无可争辩的科学事实的否认——例如，男人不能分娩，女人不能拥有阴茎——不仅继续被许多在公共资助机构工作的人所否认，甚至受到鼓励。这应该让我们所有人感到担忧。

因此，当如此多拥有影响力的人躲在沉默之墙后时，我们应该感谢 J.K. 一贯地揭露这些荒谬之谈。

不仅如此，她还通过实际行动，出资保护那些受这种激进意识形态伤害最深的人。

“J.K. 罗琳女性基金会”已承诺为那些在生活各方面争取保留女性和女孩基于性别的权利的人提供法律资金，因为在许多情况下，这些人被本应保护他们的组织所抛弃。

J.K. 本可以带着她的数百万财富在夕阳下远去，从此不再出现或被听到。相反，她正在捍卫尊严、隐私和常识。

安迪是一个榜样

安迪·普里格（Andy Prigg）体现了英国最优秀的一面。他在 21 岁时通过双肾和肝脏移植救回了生命——而现在，他计划成为一名移植外科医生。

这位医学生表示，他选择的专业将使他能够赠予一份能够“在一夜之间完全改变他人生活”的礼物。他那令人感佩的奉献精神将确保生命之环得以延续。

“敲竹杠”英国将司机视为“摇钱树”

英国的驾驶者在每一个可能的机会都被宰割，最新的丑闻便是对那些在机场接送家人或朋友的人征收的日益增加的费用。

我们讨论的不是支付停车费，然后在价格昂贵的机场咖啡店里进行漫长而依依不舍的告别——我指的是你仅仅为了停车、让乘客下车、卸下行李并说声“旅途愉快”就必须支付的费用。

当你看到其中涉及的一些费用时，你会发现“敲竹杠”英国已经达到了一个新的高度。

moneysavingxpert.com 的研究显示，伦敦的盖特威克机场（Gatwick Airport）每分钟收取 £1 的接送费——在一家上个月由于水系统故障而无法为客户和访客提供冲水厕所或流动水的机场，停留 10 分钟就要支付一笔可观的费用。

但盖特威克远非唯一的罪魁祸首。英国最大的 29 个机场中，大约有 25 个现在会对我们这些仅仅开车停靠接送的人收取费用——这既令人愤怒，也超出了合理行为的限度。

伦敦城市机场（London City Airport）会对最多 10 分钟的接送收取 £13 的费用；利兹布拉德福德机场（Leeds Bradford）和诺里奇机场（Norwich）将收取 £8,；阿伯丁、南安普顿、卢顿、格拉斯哥、希思罗和伯明翰将从你身上拿走 £7；而纽卡斯尔和利物浦将收取 £6。

向马恩岛、泽西岛、根西岛以及纽基（Newquay）的机场管理层脱帽致敬，他们允许免费接送——他们显然认为以如此贪婪的方式对待客户是适得其反的。

我们不应对这一最新骗局感到惊讶，因为对驾驶者征收不合理费用的行为已经持续了数十年，并且看来将继续

情况将变得更糟。当局正在考虑一切手段以获取更多资金，包括按里程收费的道路收费，或者向在自家门外停车的人收费（这是绿党最近提出的一项有害建议）。

随着独立企业的撤离和商店因客流量不足而关闭，地方议员和国会议员经常谈论“拯救商业街”的重要性。

与当地商家交谈，他们会告诉你，他们最大的挫败感之一就是附近的停车费，这阻碍了人们开车前往镇中心。

在我居住的西萨塞克斯郡奇切斯特（Chichester），如果你想来这里购物、吃午餐，或者参观当地的画廊或博物馆，在市中心短时停车场的最高五小时停车费将花费你 £12.30 —— 难怪人们决定转而访问城外的零售综合体，那里的停车是免费的，而且他们不会因为仅仅想支持当地经济而受到惩罚。

议会管理的停车场位于国际知名的奇切斯特节日剧院（Chichester Festival Theatre）旁边，不仅不满足于在白天从当地购物者身上敛财，还一直收费至晚上 8 点（周日除外），这一举措显然旨在从晚上的剧院观众身上赚几个钱。

下次当全国各地的当地政治家开始大谈特谈我们应该如何加大力度支持当地商业街或场馆时，他们应该审视一下自己的后院，意识到过高的停车费是如何让人们望而却步的。

撇开机场和城镇不谈，从驾驶员身上敛财最糟糕的形式就是向在当地医院停车的访客收费。这种针对疾病的卑劣税收经常受到当地卫生当局的辩护，他们称赚到的任何资金都会重新投资于医院及其提供的服务，但这看起来像是一个方便的托词。

在布赖顿的皇家萨塞克斯郡医院（Royal Sussex County Hospital）停留两小时将花费 £8.40，而韦谷国民医疗服务信托基金（Wey Valley NHS Trust）在赫里福德郡医院（Hereford County Hospital）停车探望亲人或爱人几个小时则会向你收取 £5.80。

在连续几天的探视中，这笔费用显然会累积，而对于在探望重病患者的人来说，这绝对是他们最不需要面对的事情。

甚至有些医院竟敢向使用医院停车场的自有员工收费，这在让他们感受到被重视方面毫无帮助。

英国的驾驶员被如此对待简直是令人愤慨的 —— 机场接送费、过高的当地停车费以及医院停车费，这一切都表明，在国家的每一个角落，驾驶员都成了现金奶牛。如果本届政府真的致力于在“每个邮编区域创造增长，在每颗心中播种希望”，那么它必须采取行动。

“对驾驶员的不合理收费已经持续了数十年”

这是我的看法

Arday 的离职留下了诸多疑问

围绕前剑桥大学教授杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）的喧嚣引发了一些重要问题——但可能并非许多人所关注的那些问题。在阿尔代多年来提出的一系列主张受到质疑后，他面临着越来越多的审查。

其中就包括他吹嘘自己在 35 天内跑了 30 场马拉松，以及在三天内为慈善事业跑了 300 英里。如果这些故事被证明是夸大的，那就这样吧。

这些故事或许能让演讲变得色彩斑斓，但它们与他是否配得上在世界上最负盛名的大学之一担任该职位完全没有关系。更让我担心的是，那些试图调查他的记者遭遇了什么。

一名新闻同行在就涉及阿尔代教授的剽窃指控提出完全正当的质疑后，发现苏格兰场（Scotland Yard）的警察敲响了他的家门。

《Times Higher Education》的记者杰克·格罗夫（Jack Grove）在发送了一系列寻求澄清阿尔代学术记录的电子邮件后，被指控为骚扰。

据格罗夫称，警方告诉他停止联系这位教授，因为这些问题影响了阿尔代的心理健康。除此之外，阿尔代指示了 Carter-Ruck 律师事务所，该律所暗示《Times Higher Education》的调查可能是出于种族动机。

我不知道阿尔代教授是否剽窃了任何人的作品。但我确实知道，我们记者必须能够自由地提出困难的问题，而无需担心仅仅因为被调查对象觉得这些问题令人不适，警察就会登门拜访。

至于其余的指控？嗯，我很难对此产生太大的愤慨，因为这种行为我已经见过上千次了。人类会夸大其词。我们润色简历，让旧工作听起来比实际更重要，并美化自己的职责。我们讲述的故事在每次重复时都会变得更加戏剧化。这并不令人钦佩，但不可否认地普遍。

以财务部的瑞秋（Rachel from Accounts），也就是瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）为例。她在哈利法克斯苏格兰银行（Halifax Bank of Scotland）工作期间将自己描述为一名经济学家，尽管前同事们对这一描述持有异议，并称她的工作主要在零售银行、客户关系、规划和投诉领域。

然而，她依然成为了

个性……而非完美

霍莉·威洛比（Holly Willoughby）的 YouTube 节目并没有取得开门红。作为一名 YouTube 博主，我认为我知道原因。在该平台上的成功不在于华丽的制作或圆滑的主持——而在于真实性。

观众想要的是个性，而非完美，而这个节目实在太乏味了。这就像在一家米其林星级餐厅吃炸鱼薯条，却不被允许加盐和醋。

在前两集之后，我看到的全部是霍莉在主持与《早晨》（This Morning）非常相似的环节。这感觉更像是将日间电视节目上传到了 YouTube，而不是为该平台量身定制的内容。这本身没有错，但它不够新鲜、不够前卫，也不够原创，低迷的观看人数证明了这一点。

财政大臣——顺便说一句，她也曾像阿尔代（Arday）那样受到记者的审视，尽管她不是黑人。

还有昏昏欲睡的乔·拜登（Joe Biden），他多次因美化其学术记录和个人历史的某些方面而受到批评。

或者是奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage），他针对一笔数百万英镑捐款的解释随时间而改变，引发了关于这笔钱具体用途的大量争论。

这些例子都不能成为夸大或不诚实的借口。公众人物应当被要求遵守

高标准，如果有人确实在资历上撒谎或故意欺骗雇主，那将是一个严重的问题。

但我们也需要一种分寸感。如果杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）获得剑桥大学的职位是基于合法的学术成就、发表的研究和真实的资历，那么夸大的慈善努力或离谱的个人故事很难称得上是本世纪的丑闻。

然而，如果有证据表明他的学术凭证本身存在造假，那么这就值得进行适当的审查。既然他现在已经辞职，我想我们永远不会知道了。

自我意识的较量阻碍了右翼的统一

在经历了数月的公开争执后，鲁珀特·洛（Rupert Lowe）做出了令人难以想象之举，提出与奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）及改革英国党（Reform UK）合作。我们是否终于能看到一个统一的右翼？我对此表示怀疑。

我认为“恢复英国”（Restore Britain）的洛在伸出橄榄枝这一点上值得一些赞赏。如果你真的想改变这个国家，尝试将志同道合的人聚集在一起并非坏事，但问题在于，有两大巨大的障碍挡在面前——鲁珀特·洛和奈杰尔·法拉奇。

两人都是强大的政治操盘手，但两人的自我意识都像威斯敏斯特宫一样庞大。两人都不太可能退让或接受对方的条件。洛在向法拉奇伸出橄榄枝仅几小时后就泄露了私人短信，这一事实足以让你了解他们之间的信任程度。

法拉奇不会从改革英国党中清除前伯里（Bury）的部长们，正如洛也不太可能放宽他对遣返移民（remigration）的要求。

我怀疑这一最新剧集只会加深分歧，双方的支持者都会将这次失败的尝试归咎于对方。

你听过那个关于一名黑人保守党领导人为前白人至上主义者辩护的故事吗？这不是我的那些糟糕的父亲式冷笑话——这实际上是 2026 年的英国政治。

凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）为约书亚·博恩希尔-佩恩（Joshua Bonehill-Paine）辩护，后者是一名前新纳粹分子，此前被选定于明年五月在萨默塞特郡参加选举。不出所料，这一决定引发了足够的愤怒，导致他宣布退出竞选。

不过，博恩希尔-佩恩的过去令人厌恶。2016 年，他因种族加重骚扰犹太裔工党贵族卢西亚娜·伯格（Luciana Berger）而被监禁。此前，他因制作一个新纳粹集会广告而被入狱，该广告将奥斯威辛集中营与令人作呕的口号“绝对的气体”（an absolute gas）放在一起。真是个“迷人”的人。

但他已经服刑完毕，所以如果我们真正相信我们的司法系统，监狱究竟是为了什么？博恩希尔-佩恩已经道歉，承认他对过去的行为“没有任何借口”，并表示他致力于挑战反犹主义。你是否相信他则是完全另一回事。就我个人而言，我不会投票给他。

然而，我在一点上同意凯米——改造必须具有意义。如果一个人服刑完毕，承担责任并真正改变，就必须有一条回归社会的路径。否则，我们就是在承认监狱根本不是为了改造——而仅仅是终身惩罚。

这并不意味着信任应该是自动的。但如果我们说人们永远无法救赎自己，那么我们就破坏了我们的司法系统应当维护的基本原则之一。

上周标志着我们失去詹姆斯·韦尔（James Whale）一周年。称他为广播界的传奇还不足以公正地评价他——他是英国媒体真正的伟人之一。我最初在 TalkTV 与詹姆斯共事，坦白说，他起初有点尖刻。

但到我们第三次见面时，他变得热情、幽默，并且在提供建议方面极其慷慨。他告诉我，在播音时要慢下来，因为有时我说话太快。他鼓励我保持微笑和欢笑，因为观众能从你的声音中听出来。

在詹姆斯去世后，我从他那里接手了这个专栏。这是一项令人敬畏的荣幸，我希望我能带来他每周带给你们的诚实、温暖和娱乐精神的哪怕一小部分。

英国陆军正面临质疑

英国军队因未能有效管控内部所谓的非法行为，而继续在自己的脚上开枪（自毁前程）。康纳·威尔逊（Conor Wilson）写道，这样一来，招募出现问题难道令人惊讶吗？

作为一个在英国陆军中成长、且对服役持有纯粹正面记忆的人，再次看到其中传出令人惊悚的虐待报道，令我感到心痛。上周 BBC 关于哈罗盖特陆军基础学院（Army Foundation College Harrogate）涉嫌强奸、性虐待和厌女症的报道令人震惊，但对我而言并不意外。

我第一次听到关于该学院（该学院培训 16 和 17 岁青少年）的传闻，是在我担任一个面向 17 岁及以上人员的陆军训练中心小队指挥官期间。一年多以来，我联系了 100 多名在青少年时期就读于该学院的前士兵。有些人对在那里的时光只有正面的记忆，但另一些人的故事与 BBC 报道的类似。

可以理解的是，那些告诉我涉嫌虐待的人不愿在记录中发声——他们已经开始了新生活，并将这些经历留在过去，而他们希望或需要这些经历留在那里。

由于我的担忧如此之深，我在 2025 年 6 月的一次活动中将这些问题提交给了一位工党国防部长，对方承诺会跟进。

我想表达的是，关于该学院新兵被其他新兵及少数工作人员涉嫌虐待的担忧早已为人所知。已经报道的四起案例可能只是冰山一角。我确切地知道，受害者并非只有他们这些人。最

噢，唐纳德。你真的不明白导弹供应不是无限的吗，即使是对世界上最强大的军队来说也是如此？你真的那么无能吗？

本周有报道称，美国总统在发现自己对美国导弹供应减少的情况完全不知情后，训斥了“硬汉”皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）。

看来特朗普上周关于取消针对伊朗的大规模进攻行动的豪言壮语，更多是因为缺乏炸弹，而不是因为又一次所谓的“和平谈判”。

谁能想到，发射掉 2,000 多枚需要两年时间制造的远程导弹会导致美国短缺？显然，唐纳德没意识到。

这种无能具有深远的影响。它导致乌克兰缺乏依赖的西方供应导弹，无法对俄罗斯境内发动打击，并使得这个全球领先的超级大国在威胁出现时无法转向其他战场……

令人震惊的是，强奸和虐待的报道发生在过去五年内。

这些事件发生之时，正值英国陆军努力改善部队文化和服役人员行为之际。但现状依然如此。

陆军表示，它“鼓励任何在陆军基础学院经历过或目睹过不可接受或犯罪行为的人站出来”。

我很痛苦地必须说，以目前的形态，我不确定我是否能安心让我的女儿加入陆军。

随着军队继续遭受招募危机，我确信许多家长和潜在的入伍者也在思考同样的问题。

电视主持人兼作家 Sirieix

弗雷德决心开启作家新职业

作者：SHELLEY SPADONI

《首次约会》（First Dates）明星弗雷德·西里埃（Fred Sirieix）计划在自己的履历中增加“温馨推理小说作者”这一项。

这位富有魅力的法国人，54岁，表示：“我不确定是否被允许告诉你们这件事，但我正在创作一套温馨推理小说系列。”

“故事背景将设定在餐厅，主角是一位法国督察。”

弗雷德表示，这个想法来自他的女儿安德里亚·斯潘多利尼-西里埃（Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix），她是一名潜水员，曾在 2024 年巴黎奥运会上为英国队赢得一枚铜牌。

这位餐厅领班兼电视节目主持人补充道：“我带着这个想法去找了出版商，他们非常喜欢。第一部小说将设定在伦敦。”

引人入胜

“写温馨推理小说必须很小心，你知道吗？有一些必须遵守的特定规则。它必须引人入胜，但绝不能过于阴暗。不过我必须说，我真的很享受这个过程。”

写书并不是弗雷德唯一的新项目。

本月底，观众将在第四频道（Channel 4）的新四集节目《弗雷德的顶级酒店》（Fred’s Ultimate Hotels）中看到他，在节目中他将访问全球四家顶级酒店。

它们分别是马拉喀什的皇家曼苏尔酒店（Royal Mansour）、南非的皇家马迪克韦野生动物保护区旅馆（Royal Madikwe safari lodge）、新加坡的莱佛士酒店（Raffles Hotel）以及法国阿尔卑斯山的 Les Barres de l’Ours。

他还计划为法国电视台制作一档拯救经营失败餐厅的节目，并正为 Boursin 品牌领衔一项夏季宣传活动。

在谈到为法国电视台拍摄时，他说：“我们有两小时的午餐时间，配有葡萄酒的完美三道菜正餐！这就是法国。”

杀死罗布森……？噢，他们没这么做

《格兰彻斯特》给格林饰演的角色争取到了最后的生存机会

角色在“故事会议中死掉了四次”

《格兰彻斯特》（Grantchester）的制片人曾计划在这部电视剧催泪的系列大结局中杀死罗布森·格林（Robson Green）饰演的角色——但他们后来犹豫了，认为观众会更喜欢一个幸福的结局。

这部 ITV 热播剧的最终季将由罗布森和里希·奈尔（Rishi Nair）主演，他们饰演打击犯罪的搭档乔迪·基廷警探（Det Geordie Keating）和阿尔菲·科塔拉姆牧师（Reverent Alphy Kottaram），该季将于明年在英国播出。

但美国的观众已经看完了第 11 季（也是最终季），当基廷被枪击并陷入生死边缘时，他们感到非常震惊。

现在，编剧黛西·库兰（Daisy Coulam）透露了她如何与“彻底杀死他”这个想法作斗争。

她坦言：“我们尝试过很多次，比如‘他应该死，他绝对应该死’——我的意思是，在故事会议中他大概死掉了四次，但我们就是没法下手。那样影响太大了。你会觉得‘不，因为你

作者：尼古拉·梅思文（NICOLA METHVEN）

需要在结尾保留那个时刻’。你需要希望，需要喜悦，因为这是一个（柏拉图式的）爱情故事，你需要在结尾让你的两位爱人活着。”

相反，粉丝们将看到基廷在枪击中幸存并决定退休。

他将接力棒交给了同事拉里·彼得斯（Larry Peters，由布拉德利·霍尔 Bradley Hall 饰演），由后者在牧师的帮助下继续处理未来的案件。在一个感人的时刻，基廷将他的帽子——自开播以来一直佩戴的帽子——留给了他的后辈。

黛西补充道：“帽子的那个瞬间——是在詹姆斯·诺顿（James Norton）来片场访问的那天随机拍摄的。我们坐在一起，问罗布森‘你想做些什么样的戏？’

“他说‘我觉得你应该把帽子给拉里’。我们觉得‘太棒了’，因为我痴迷于《印第安纳·琼斯》，这基本上就是《印第安纳·琼斯》，不是吗？就是‘戴上帽子’的那一刻。我们非常开心，布拉德利的演技极其出色，他虽然什么也没说，但你真的能感受到他的自豪。太甜了。”

在拍摄最后几场躺在医院推车上的戏时，61 岁的罗布森通过偷偷在片场放一个牌子来活跃气氛，牌子上写着：

“可接演圣诞剧（pantomime）”——因为演员们都知道他们需要开始寻找新项目了。

当搬运工将他推进来，摄像机开始运转时，他举起了那个牌子，逗笑了所有人。

他在 The Masterpiece Studio 播客中讲述了他将如何想念这部剧，他说：“我总是看着时间表想，‘我们什么时候去格兰彻斯特？’因为这就像和很多很多朋友一起去度假一样。”

最终季的剧情将看到阿尔菲牧师质疑自己的信仰，以及新时尚精品店店主凯西·基廷（Cathy Keating）和 C 夫人（Mrs C，由凯西·安斯沃思 Kacey Ainsworth 和特丝·皮克-琼斯 Tess Peake-Jones 饰演）卷入一起谋杀案。

《格兰彻斯特》自 2014 年起已播出 11 季。期间共有三位牧师协助基廷警探，包括饰演西德尼·钱伯斯牧师（Rev Sidney Chambers）的詹姆斯·诺顿和饰演威尔·达文波特牧师（Rev Will Davenport）的汤姆·布里特尼（Tom Brittney）。

对禁售燃油车的担忧

汽车制造商将获得 6500 万英镑m 政府资金支持

作者：乔纳森·沃克（JONATHAN WALKER）

汽车制造商将获得 6500 万英镑00 万 的政府资金用于环保车辆。

此前有警告称，禁售汽油和柴油车型的举措威胁到数千个工作岗位。

但部长们拒绝在限制措施上让步，该措施将于 2030 年全面生效，旨在减少排放并应对气候变化。

生产零排放车辆的公司将获得 6500 万英镑00 万，其中包括 5000 万英镑 用于帮助生产更多电动汽车，汽车制造商承诺将匹配同等数额的投资。

工业部长布莱尔·麦克杜格尔（Blair McDougall）表示：“英国发明了现代汽车工业，我们决心确保下一代车辆同样在这里设计和制造。”

可行性

“这项投资将保障技术岗位，加强我们的制造业核心地带，并推动再工业化。”

资金接收方包括一个由宾利（Bentley）领导的财团，以及另一个专注于自动驾驶汽车的由日产（Nissan）领导的财团。

尽管全面禁止销售新型汽油车的禁令尚未生效，但汽车制造商已被告知，要确保其销售的汽车中有 33% 为“零排放”车辆。

但一些制造商表示，驾驶者并不想购买电动汽车，因此他们不得不通过大幅削减价格来补贴这些车辆。该行业直接雇佣了约 156,000 人。

下议院商业委员会已敦促政府在审查期间暂停该政策。

汽车制造商和贸易商协会（Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders）表示，这些规定在“做出投资决策的关键时刻，威胁到了就业和企业的可行性”。

生活成本危机：严厉打击商店的“虚假”折扣

首相还承诺结束订阅陷阱

调查显示，四分之一家庭无法负担 £850 的紧急账单

一项民意调查发现，超过四分之一的家庭在紧急情况下无法筹集额外的 £850。

仅有 72% 的人能够支付该金额，这意味着 28% 的人资金不足。

另有 6% 的人表示无法为家中所有人购买足够的食物，而 12% 的人表示缺乏资金每月至少进行一次社交活动。

为 Carnegie UK 编制的《英国生活指数》指出，自 2023 年开始追踪以来，这三个数据均未改善。

Carnegie 的政策、洞察与倡导总监 Adam Lang 表示：“这些结果令人失望，但并不意外。我们的数据表明，太多

生活成本困境

作者：CRAIG MEIGHAN

人们仍然无法负担必需品、无法应对意外支出，或无法充分参与社会活动。

“安迪·伯纳姆拥有正确的抱负，我们欢迎他将重点放在生活成本上。

“然而，解决我们社会中的不平等问题没有快速见效的方法。

“有意义的改变将需要持续的行动、政府各部门的协作，以及致力于衡量对家庭和社区至关重要的指标。

“通货膨胀、工资增长和 GDP 等经济指标告诉了我们关于经济的重要信息，但它们不能告诉我们人们是否能够生活得良好。如果政府认真对待改善人们的生活，就必须追踪对人们至关重要的结果，并利用这些证据来指导长期政策决策。”

调查发现，无法让家中保持足够温暖的人数比例已从 2023 年的 17% 下降至 12%——这是记录到的最低水平。

但 Carnegie UK 表示，这种改善“并未转化为财务韧性的广泛提升”。

与此同时，23% 的受访者表示他们负担不起为期一周的年度度假——比 2025 年高出两个百分点。

该慈善机构补充称，研究表明许多人无法资助必需品、建立财务保障或充分参与社会活动。

安迪·伯纳姆昨天表示，商店将被禁止提供虚假优惠，且全国民众将能更轻松地在订阅服务上共同节省 16 亿英镑 billion。

今天结束假期返回工作的首相宣布了这些变化，并承诺将提供更多帮助以抵消生活成本危机。

根据第一项措施，商店将被禁止虚假声称商品在打折——即在先短暂提高价格之后再打折。

这种策略以及误导性的建议零售价将在秋季提交咨询，并可能被列入《数字市场、竞争和消费者法案》禁止的行为清单。

从 1 月起，提供订阅服务的企业必须提供更清晰的预先信息，定期提醒客户，并提供一种便捷的终止合同方式。

新的 14 天冷静期还将允许人们在试用期后或长期合同续约时取消订阅。

英国大约有 1.55 亿 个活跃订阅，消费者每年在他们实际上并不想要的订阅上估计花费 16 亿英镑 billion。

伯纳姆先生今天开始以“倾听模式”就飞涨的账单进行全国巡访，他表示：“我决心动用我们能动用的每一个杠杆，为人们在生活成本方面提供一些喘息的空间。这只是我们将要推出的日常修复措施中的两项——今天仅仅是个开始。

狡诈

“我们希望让人们口袋里有更多钱，并给人们带来希望，让他们相信政治真的能为他们及其日常生活发挥作用。”

但保守党声称他是在炒冷饭，重复已经公布过的政策。

影子财政大臣梅尔·斯特赖德（Mel Stride）表示：“安迪·伯纳姆已经没主意了。生活成本问题并不是上周才变成问题的。”

“你必须问问，为什么工党在执行前任政府通过的立法方面花了这么长时间。”

“工党的加税行为导致勤奋工作的家庭成本飙升，并摧毁了就业机会。”

“磋商和重新加热的措施无法弥补这一点。”

“只有保守党拥有详细、清晰的计划，通过减税、将能源账单降低 £200 并让英国重新运转起来，来解决生活成本问题。”

但公民咨询机构（Citizens Advice）首席执行官克莱尔·莫里亚蒂（Dame Clare Moriarty）女士对伯纳姆先生的宣布持更积极的态度。她表示：“长期以来，消费者一直被诱骗为他们未使用——甚至最初根本不想要——的产品或服务买单，每年造成数百万英镑的损失。”

“因此，我们非常欢迎政府采取行动加速打击‘订阅陷阱’，并考虑禁止公司用来欺骗消费者的其他手段。”

“我们多年来一直在为此敲响警钟，因为我们知道订阅陷阱和严重损害消费者钱包的狡诈在线行为是一个普遍存在的问题。”

高额支出“令人失望”

一次面对面的全科医生（GP）诊疗

在线全科医生访问计划对患者而言“不安全”

作者：艾拉·皮克欧弗（ELLA PICKOVER）

医生们警告称，旨在改善全科医生（GP）在线访问的变更导致了面对面预约的减少。

据称，许多人认为这一举措使患者安全处于风险之中。

自去年 10 月 1 日起，英格兰所有诊所都被要求在核心工作时间内为患者提供在线协助。

由全科医生杂志《Pulse》和《Management in Practice》对英格兰诊所进行的一项调查发现，三分之一的诊所表示，他们因此被迫减少了面对面预约的数量。

在参与调查的 330 名全科医生和 242 名诊所经理中，25% 的人表示，他们认为这些变更使患者安全处于风险之中。

争议

根据英格兰国民医疗服务体系（NHS England）自身的数据，英格兰全科医生预约中面对面进行的比例呈稳定下降趋势，而通过电话或在线进行的人数一直在增加。

6 月份，约 60.2% 的患者接受了面对面诊疗，而 2025 年 6 月这一比例为 62.9%，2024 年 6 月为 64.9%。

英国医学会（BMA）就这些变更与政府陷入正式争议。BMA 全科医生委员会副主席马努·阿格拉瓦尔（Dr Manu Agrawal）博士表示：“我们的观点得到了此次调查结果的支持——目前的在线请求系统是不安全的，一个为了增加官僚作风时间而减少面对面预约的系统，对诊所而言既不高效，对患者而言也不理想。”

卫生部的一位发言人表示：“自 2024 年以来，我们额外招聘了 2,000 名全科医生，在两年内投资了 17 亿英镑 billion，并将全科医生置于我们 10 年健康计划的核心位置。”

170 万英镑m cost of Lords' assisted dying debates

贵族议员在阻止法案成为法律期间领取津贴

研究发现，上议院关于辅助死亡的辩论最终未能通过该法案，但这可能导致纳税人为支付给贵族议员的出席费而承担超过£170 万的费用。

根据英国新闻协会（Press Association）的分析，在针对该议题的讨论期间（在时间耗尽前持续了16天），支付给议员的总金额有望达到1,705 英镑,000。

贵族议员出席上议院可申请£371的免税款项，且无需在任何辩论中发言，甚至无需坐在上议院的红色长椅上。

然而，他们也可以选择申请较低的£175，或者完全不申请津贴。

在讨论这项里程碑式立法期间，平均有3.4%的贵族议员选择申请较低的费率。

根据现有数据，每次关于辅助死亡合法化的辩论会议平均将耗资109,505 英镑。

根据上议院提供的统计数据，目前已支付总计130 万英镑m。

作者：HANNA GEISSLER

该法案的支持者指责反对者通过提交大量不必要的修正案，以非民主的“冗长演说”（filibustering）方式阻挠拟议立法——通过没完没了的发言耗尽时间。

赞助《绝症成年人（生命终结）法案》的索罗顿法尔科纳勋爵（Lord Falconer of Thoroton）在参与的辩论中没有领取任何津贴。

他表示：“令人失望的是，上议院花费了大量资金却未能得出任何结论。”

这位前工党部长继续说道：“如果我们按照正常方式处理，我们可以在实际仅完成一半流程的时间内，在上议院通过整个法案。”

“我们没能做到，仅仅是因为极少数贵族议员通过提交数千项修正案并进行冗长演说来耗尽法案时间。”但反对该法案的残疾人权利组织“尚未死去”（Not Dead Yet）的召集人菲尔·弗林德（Phil Friend）表示，这一成本表明贵族议员们“足够认真地对待这项法案，以至于出席并对其进行了妥善审查”。

他补充道：“这正是议会的职责所在。”

国会议员 劳伦·爱德华兹（Lauren Edwards）

《每日快报》号召行动

给我们最后的权利

“对于残疾人和绝症患者来说，出错的代价不是用英镑来衡量的，而是用生命来衡量的。”

屡获殊荣的《每日快报》号召行动“给我们最后的权利”已在为绝症成年人辅助死亡法律变更而奔走呼吁超过四年。

在辩论的第一天，有395名上议院议员出席。最低人数为269, 整个会议期间的日均出席人数为315名贵族议员。

这项由工党议员金·利德比特（Kim Leadbeater）提出的立法，在3月24日议会会期结束前耗尽了预定的辩论天数。

然而，她的党内同事劳伦·爱德华兹（Lauren Edwards）在私人议员法案抽签中被抽中第二名后，重新提出了该法案。

该法案定于9月11日进行二读。

如果国会议员第二次支持这些提案，上议院将无法再次将其拦截。

支持者认为，去年帮助该法案在下议院通过的赞成议员总数可能会保持不变。

他们声称，此后支持率“没有下滑”。

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）上个月表示，他认为在引入辅助死亡立法之前，临终姑息治疗和更广泛的社会护理需要进行改革。

爱德华兹女士则认为，这些变革可以同步进行。

玩具制造商 Corgi 庆祝其模型专业化七十周年 —— 至今仍激发着男女老少的想象力

70 年

七十年前，威尔士西南海岸的一座城市成为了一个出人意料的汽车圣地。无论是 Rover 90, Triumph TR2, Morris Cowley, Hillman Husky 还是众多其他伟大的英国车型，都产自于此。

只不过这些是 Corgi 汽车 —— 具有透明塑料窗、精细内饰以及悬挂系统和可开启部件等机械功能的微缩比例模型。

1956 年在斯旺西工厂生产线上率先推出的产品是福特 Consul。它立即获得了成功。

维多利亚与阿尔伯特博物馆助理策展人 Tanaya Basu De Sarkar 表示：“在斯旺西，他们能够在一个因煤矿关闭而失业率高企的地区创造近 6,000 个就业岗位。”

Corgi 的故事开始得更早。在 1933 年希特勒上台后，犹太移民 Philip Ullmann 和 Arthur Katz 为了逃避德国的迫害而逃往英国。

作为玩具制造商，他们在北安普顿建立了一个车间，最初生产与德国产品类似的马口铁玩具，公司命名为 Mettoy。

在第二次世界大战期间，该工厂还生产军

作者：Hannah Britt

用品以及为驻扎在热带丛林环境的部队生产的烹饪炉。

在六年之内，北安普顿工厂拥有 600 名员工，需要更大的空间，于是公司搬迁到了威尔士一个更大的场地，生产各种形状和尺寸的玩具，从船只、火车到娃娃屋。

随后，1956 年在斯旺西，一个以新名称开发的压铸玩具汽车系列问世。Corgi 汽车诞生了。

Tanaya 继续说道：“他们是 60 年代和 70 年代主要的玩具车辆生产商之一，与竞争对手 Dinky Toys [由 Hornby 制造] 和 Matchbox [由 Lesney 制造] 并列。”

根据玩具专家兼 Corgi 收藏家 Lawrence Lambert 的说法，这些汽车的英国特性提升了它们的受欢迎程度。

他说：“这是一家本土公司，立即产生了吸引力。他们制作英国汽车、英国卡车、英国巴士、英国货车。”

“你有福特 Consul、Mini Cooper、ERF 货车 —— 这些都是你在成长过程中在街道上实际能看到的车辆。”

权力游戏的乐趣

柯基犬是我们已故女王所钟爱的犬种，而著名的柯基粉丝也很多，包括詹姆斯·梅（James May）、比尔·奈伊（Bill Nighy）和加里·奥德曼（Gary Oldman），他们都收集玩具车。

70 岁的劳伦斯（Lawrence）是电视节目《车库宝藏》（Car Booty）、《阁楼现金》（Cash in the Attic）和《古董路演》（Antiques Roadshow）的常驻贡献者，他继续说道：“我的年龄和柯基（Corgi）品牌一样大。我从 1960 年代就开始收集柯基玩具了。”

“在我东伦敦成长地街道的尽头，有一家叫 Wrights 的新闻代理店。每个周六早上，我和哥哥都会走过去，惊叹于橱窗里所有这些美妙的玩具车。”

“一旦我妈察觉到这一点，她就会说，‘去做些家务’，然后每周我们都会有零用钱去挑选一辆车。”

他的第一辆车是蒙特卡洛拉力赛 Mini，那是一辆著名的赛车。

北爱尔兰拉力赛车手帕特里克·“帕迪”·霍普金斯（Patrick "Paddy" Hopkirk）驾驶着标志性的 37 号格子红 Mini Cooper S 在 1967 年的蒙特卡洛拉力赛中夺冠。

劳伦斯说：“你只需花费 3 到 8 先令，就能拥有的一小块历史。”

离开家后，当他发现母亲把他的收藏品送人时，他感到十分震惊，于是他重新开始收集，现在拥有数百辆柯基汽车。他说：“妈妈认为一个 14 岁的人会不再喜欢玩具车。但当然，你知道我也知道，大多数 50、60 和 70 岁的人——无论男女——永远不会不再喜欢玩具车。”

柯基玩具以开创透明塑料车窗而闻名，被宣传为“有窗户的玩具”，从而将其与窗户为空白的竞争对手 Dinky Toys 区分开来。

劳伦斯补充道：“柯基的吸引力之一在于你可以买到你父亲开的那种车，或者一辆超级跑车。你可以选择熟悉感，也可以追求极致。”

60 年代最畅销的产品之一是沃尔沃 P1800，这是罗杰·摩尔（Roger Moore）在《圣徒》（The Saint）中饰演的角色所驾驶的车型。而且他们并未止步于此。

塔纳亚（Tanaya）说：“他们的重大成功来自于获得了詹姆斯·邦德（James Bond）车辆的商品化授权。邦德的阿斯顿·马丁 DB5 售出的是金色版本，尽管在电影中它是银色的。”柯基品牌总经理兼柯基模型俱乐部创始人盖·斯坦索普（Guy Stainthorpe）表示：“1965 年的詹姆斯·邦德阿斯顿·马丁 DB5 具备弹射座椅、后盾牌和机关枪，成为了有史以来最畅销的合金玩具车。”

“这是最早的玩具授权协议之一。迄今为止，它已售出 1150 万个模型。”

随着 1960 年代末和 1970 年代的到来，《奇蒂奇蒂邦邦》（Chitty Chitty Bang Bang）和《达克塔里》（Daktari）路虎车在全球销售中又带来了数百万美元的收入。后期的模型具备了更先进的功能，如光纤工作大灯、Glidematic 悬挂系统和弹簧加载的弹射座椅。

盖说：“其核心就是乐趣。公司开发了许多不同的东西，比如车轮千斤顶，这样你就可以把轮子拆下来玩。你还可以玩方向盘。互动功能在电影车型（如詹姆斯·邦德）上尤其受欢迎。它捕捉到了人们的想象力。”

“这是创新、新方法、新风格、新技术，所有这一切只有一个目标——带来快乐。没有比柯基更标志性的玩具汽车了。”

塔纳亚补充道：“柯基是第一家采用真空成型塑料内饰而非空内饰的制造商。”

“年轻 V&A 博物馆（Young V&A）的永久馆藏中有几辆柯基玩具车，包括经典的阿斯顿·马丁 DB5、披头士的黄色潜水艇，以及为 2012 年奥运会推出的 Routemaster 模型。”

在谈到博物馆展出的许多样本时，她说：“它们探讨了‘微缩世界游戏’的概念。”

“儿童通过这种早年游戏培养许多技能，从想象玩具车在冒险而产生的创造力，到通过推动车辆而增强的运动技能，以及通过共同游戏而培养的社交技能。”

但是，就像英国汽车制造业的其他部分一样，虽然柯基品牌依然存在，但斯旺西工厂在 1989 年被美国玩具巨头美泰（Mattel）收购后，于 1991 年关闭。

在 1995 年至 1996 年之间，柯基更名为 Corgi Classics Ltd，迁至莱斯特并扩展到合金飞机领域。

随后，在 2008 年，Corgi 被其目前的母公司 Hornby Hobbies 收购，但目前——

生产已转移至中国，且每年仍会推出新车型。1957 年发布的初代路虎（Land Rover）销量超过 1000 万，而一款全新的路虎揽胜（Range Rover）将于 2026 年发布，以令新一代粉丝欣喜。

盖伊（GUY）表示：“我们以传承品牌而闻名，但我们也在不断进化，最近的合作伙伴包括《星际迷航》（Star Trek），为其推出了一系列 stashups。”

“我们还与 Aardman 合作，这是另一个今年庆祝周年的伟大英国品牌——他们的 50 周年。我们刚刚发布了骑着四轮摩托车的《小羊肖恩》（Shaun the Sheep）。”

现在，你只需花不到 10 英镑就能买到一台新的 Corgi，在 eBay 等转售平台上价格更低。不过，一些稀有型号的价值超过 £100。

劳伦斯（Lawrence）表示，它们的价值不在于价格，而在于怀旧之情。

他补充道：“对于成年人来说，这些玩具将他们带回了那个简单而快乐的时光。我在 70 岁时拿起一台 Corgi 小车，我就又变成了那个透过商店橱窗向外看的男孩。而对于第一次接触这些玩具的孩子们来说，未来还会有怎样的惊喜在等待他们。”

小学生“必须被告知合成大麻电子烟的危险”

专家表示，小学生应当学习关于掺有合成大麻（spice）药物的电子烟之危险。

巴斯大学对来自 114 所英格兰学校的电子烟及烟液进行分析，结果显示其中约 13% 含有这种具有高度成瘾性的大麻素。

在伦敦和兰开夏郡，这一比例上升至 25%。

人们担心年仅 11 岁的儿童就在使用这些产品。

现在，药物与酒精教育慈善机构 Hope UK 呼吁，应更早地教导儿童关于在社交媒体上及柜台下秘密销售的电子烟之危险。

首席执行官莎拉·布赖顿（Sarah Brighton）表示：“我们在掺有合成大麻的电子烟中发现的主要问题是，孩——”

作者：SOPHIE HUSKISSON

“——子完全没有意识到其中的风险。从商业街上不道德的卖家那里购买非法电子烟并非获取这些产品的唯一途径，因为通过互联网也可以轻松获得。”

一名使用普通电子烟的男子

“这就是为什么从小提高意识至关重要。因为我们看到小学生将这些电子烟带进学校。”

“年幼的孩子对什么是安全的有非常清晰的认识……但教导他们是我们的责任。”

合成大麻（Spice）是一种合成药物，使用者会陷入类似僵尸的状态。巴斯大学的克里斯·普德尼（Chris Pudney）教授表示：“就其成瘾潜力而言，它常被拿来与可卡因裂解物（crack）相比较。”

摘金牌的移植学生现在想成为一名外科医生

“医学领域没有比这更酷的了”

一名通过 15 小时双器官移植手术获救的医学生，现在计划成为一名外科医生，以帮助处于类似境地的他人。

23 岁的安迪·普里格（Andy Prigg）天生患有罕见的遗传性常染色体隐性多囊肾病，从小就知道自己需要更换肾脏。

在 15 岁时，情况变得明朗，他还需要进行肝脏移植。

这段经历——以及成长过程中来自“所有这些优秀人士”多年的照顾——让他对自己的职业选择不再犹豫。

他说道：“移植前，我一直想从事急诊医学，开直升机之类的工作。我有点像个肾上腺素狂。”

“现在，移植后，我觉得医学领域没有比移植更酷的了。这是唯一一个能从死亡中夺回东西的专科。”

独家报道

作者：HANNA GEISSLER 健康编辑

“没有其他专科能让你给某人一个肾脏或肝脏之类的东西，并在大约 12 小时内完全改变他们的人生。”

2024 年 6 月，在找到合适的匹配者后，安迪的人生发生了转变。

尽管他曾挣扎于“必须有人死去他才能生存”的心理压力，且经历了一段“相当可怕”的康复期，但他已经重新振作。

周五，他在谢菲尔德举行的英国移植运动会上赢得了两枚自行车金牌。

他在 5 公里计时赛中以 8 分 32 秒打破纪录，并在 10 公里公路赛中以 18 分整完赛。

来自切斯特的安迪说，他每天都会想起自己的捐献者。他目前就读于谢菲尔德大学四年级，并曾在牛津的一支移植团队中工作了两个月。

这位实习医生计划明年前往悉尼，与更多专家一起完成他的选修实习。

英国国家医疗服务体系血液与移植中心（NHS Blood and Transplant）上周发起呼吁，希望到 2027 年能增加 100 万人注册成为器官捐献者。

尽管英格兰实行的是“选择性退出”制度，但仍会咨询家属，且如果家属不知道亲人的意愿，他们更有可能拒绝。

同意率从 2020-21 年的 69% 下滑至 2025-26 年的 57%，降幅近五分之一。

英国有近 2900 万 人通过加入 NHS 器官捐献登记册记录了自己的决定。

安迪表示，他不会“强迫任何人怎么做”，但敦促人们与亲人沟通。他补充道：“我认为这是一个值得进行的讨论。”

“关键在于与家人进行对话并达成共识。”

获得癌症临床试验名额，“我赢得了比彩票更好的东西”

在一项具有里程碑意义的血癌临床试验中，首位患者希望该疗法能改变数千名患者的治疗方案。

杰森·沃克（Jason Walker）在 45 岁时，因持续的背痛和复视，在 2014 年 2 月接到了一个毁灭性的消息：他患有“末期”三期多发性骨髓瘤。

三周前，现年 57 岁的杰森开始了 14 个周期的新治疗。该试验涉及免疫疗法，这种疗法可用于治疗血癌，但 70% 的患者会出现细胞因子释放综合征（CRS）副作用，这是一种潜在的危险反应，会导致四分之一的患者进入重症监护室。

位于大曼彻斯特地区的克里斯蒂 NHS 基金会信托（The Christie NHS Foundation Trust）启动了名为 Topical 的试验，旨在观察实验性抗炎药物 POLB 001 能否阻止 CRS，并改变多发性骨髓瘤患者，以及

独家报道：克里斯·里切斯（CHRIS RICHES）

潜在的其他血癌患者的免疫疗法。来自兰开夏郡朗里奇（Longridge）的装饰工杰森·沃克（见插图）表示：“我觉得能参加这次试验非常幸运，我希望它能奏效，不仅是为了我自己，也是为了广大骨髓瘤战士。如果参与其中能帮助改善他人的治疗，那将是非常有价值的。

“我已经与这种疾病共存了 12 年，你必须始终向前看。我会继续战斗，充分利用每一天。

“在困难的情况下，任何希望都是好的。我觉得能参加这次试验很幸福，就像我赢得了比彩票更好的东西。”

来自克里斯蒂医院的艾玛·塞尔（Emma Searle）博士表示：“免疫疗法正在改变患者的生存率，但在我们找到一种能在专科医院之外安全实施的方法之前，其应用将继续受到限制。”

三百年前，兰开夏郡的工厂为英国的工业革命提供了动力——而现在，一种外来入侵者在那里制造了新的、令人不快的新闻头条。当我们在震惊的房主托尼·道森（Tony Dawson）后门仅 50 码远的地方发现英国最可怕的“无脸威胁”时，他感到十分惊骇，他在花园里向我们讲述了他的恐惧……因为无论你如何将其挖掘、焚烧或砍掉，一旦日本结缕草（Japanese knotweed）扎根，将其根除将是一场噩梦。

由英国入侵植物专家 Environet 进行的一项研究表明，布莱克本与达文（Blackburn with Darwen）是英国日本结缕草情况最严重的自治市，共有 2,135 起病例，即每平方英里 40.36 起。

住在受灾最严重邮编区的 33, 岁男子内森·汉纳威（Nathan Hannaway）最近透露，他与伴侣花费 43 万英镑 购买的这栋拥有五间卧室的维多利亚式住宅中生长着这种入侵杂草。据引用，他被报价 1.5 万英镑 才能将其清除。

于是，我访问了市场城镇达文以及相邻的工业城镇布莱克本，看看能否亲自追踪到这种令人讨厌的植物。

起初，这被证明比我想象的要困难。专家建议我“寻找水源”，因为这些植物——由维多利亚时代的人引入英国装饰花园——在国家的铁路和水道中扎根，当时它们被种植在那里是为了稳定堤岸。

问题是，它现在已经失控地蔓延，如果没有专家的帮助，你根本无法将其清除。

它不通过种子繁殖，在地下可蔓延高达七米，像撕纸一样击穿沥青路面，甚至 1 厘米长的切断根部也能再生为三米高的新植株。

它会降低你房屋的价值——今年公布的惊人数据显示，据估计它已使英国房产价值缩水 £214 亿加元——且根据国际共同农业局（Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux International）的数据，它每年造成的经济损失估计达 £2.465 亿。

首先，我在达文拦住了两名女性社区支持警员，询问她们在巡逻区域是否发现过日本结缕草。

我被引导至达文警察局旁的 Alum House Brook 和达文公墓，但一无所获。然而，当我开车前往布莱克本旧公墓（Blackburn Old Cemetery）时，我终于有了收获，该公墓曾公开透露过与这种剧毒多年生草本植物作斗争的经历。

隔壁一家经销商的员工提醒我，在与公墓相邻的围栏边有一丛这种植物，它就在那里，潜伏在小屋后的阴影中。

我爬下小堤岸去查看。它的茎像紫绿色的竹子；强劲、坚硬如石，完全不屈，高度超过两米。

布莱克本旧公墓之友协会（The Friends of Blackburn Old Cemetery）的 82, 岁成员莫里斯·菲兰（Maurice Fielan）证实：“这玩意儿很难除掉。它可以长到 10 英尺高。”

在夏季的高温下，日本结缕草每天可生长高达 10 厘米，在单个生长季内可长到三米高。

莫里斯补充道：“问题是如果你开始修剪它，你会把碎片传播到各处，直到明年它突然到处冒出来你才会注意到。”

“喷洒除草剂似乎只能部分成功，可能是因为根球过于密集。”

“应对这种侵害最有效的方法似乎是在植物长得足够大时，将除草剂直接注入成熟的茎干中。”

很快，我得到了另一个目击地点的线报，这次回到了达文的博尔顿路（Bolton Road）的一处堤岸上，就在 The Spinners 酒吧的街道对面。酒吧员工

减少日本结缕草

当指出日本结缕草就在 100 码外生长时，19 岁的杰西卡·鲍尔（Jessica Power）感到很震惊，因为她自家的花园一直延伸到那段堤岸的一部分。

“这太可怕了，”她说。“我听说过这种植物，而且很难清除。奇怪的是，在整个英国，布莱克本（Blackburn）和达文（Darwen）竟然是情况最糟糕的地方。”

我决定前往那个花园沿斜坡延伸的死胡同，那里已经出现了一大片日本结缕草，宽度达数米，比我更粗、更高，我走进去检查了生长情况。

52 岁的房主大卫·威尔逊-帕尔（David Wilson-Parr）在这条路上住了 13 年，他认为他们这一排花园后面的部分土地可能属于联合公用事业公司（United Utilities）。

当我透露日本结缕草就在他的边界围栏外生长时，他感到很惊恐。他承认，他曾偶然服用过一种由这种入侵植物制成的天然健康补充剂。Polygonum cuspidatum 是日本结缕草的学名，它是白藜芦醇最受欢迎的商业来源，因为其根部含有更高浓度的该化合物。

“我过去服用过这种补充剂，因为它具有很强的抗氧化特性，但我不想让日本结缕草靠近我的花园，”大卫说。

“我在服用补充剂之前做过研究，读过相关资料。它的生长速度让我震惊。我读到过你不能直接把它挖掉，所以我绝对不想让它出现在我的房产附近。”

门对门的邻居，55 岁的托尼·道森（Tony Dawson）同样感到担忧，他带我进入他的后花园，以衡量这种快速传播的植物害虫距离他的后门究竟有多近。

我向他指出了植物的方向，他感到由衷的震惊：“那离我们站的地方只有 50 码左右。这让我非常担心。”

“这条路上的房屋下方有一个天然地下泉，这意味着我们必须小心房产下方可能影响地基的情况。我听说过日本结缕草能穿透混凝土生长，所以这是一个隐患。它比我想象的要近，这真的很令人担忧。”

当天傍晚，我在达文的一条铁路线旁发现了另一处巨大的生长区，整个区域被胶带封锁，并立有警告牌：“入侵物种处理区——禁止进入。”

一名住在受感染堤岸附近房产中的老年女性（要求匿名）告诉我：“它生长得如此之茂盛，简直荒谬。他们说已经处理过，或者喷过药，但它看起来几乎免疫。没有任何效果。”

“我担心它会在地下继续蔓延并影响其他房屋。就像《三脚架之日》（Day of the Triffids）一样，像某种能抵御一切的外星植物。”

“这实际上相当可怕。”Environet 的总监、专家艾米莉·格兰特（Emily Grant）告诉《每日快报》，为什么日本结缕草是对整个国家的一个严重问题。Environet 的分析确定了布莱克本……

由于布莱克本与达文被确定为英国境内房主最恐惧在花园中看到的入侵性日本植物最严重的自治市，《每日快报》西北区记者克里斯·里切斯（CHRIS RICHES）前往实地考察，看看灌木丛中潜伏着什么。

兰贝斯 (LAMBETH) - 204 起；每平方英里 19.39 起

诺丁汉 (NOTTINGHAM) - 528 起；每平方英里 18.23 起

将布莱克本与达文列为最糟糕自治市的结论是基于其在线实时追踪器“揭秘：日本结缕草热力图”的数据，该追踪器使用了全国 100,000 多个经过验证的目击记录。

房屋所有者和购房者可以输入邮政编码，以发现半径五 范围内的已知目击数量，高发区以黄色、橙色，而在最严重的情况下以红色标出。

“日本结缕草是英国最麻烦的入侵植物，”艾米莉 (Emily) 表示。

“这不仅是因为它可能造成的破坏以及极难根除，还因为围绕受影响房产买卖的限制，以及如果允许其扩散所带来的法律影响。”

“在专业处理之前，你将无法出售你的房产，因为卖家在法律上有义务在 TA6 过户表格中申报，而且如果它侵入邻居的土地，你可能会面临邻居的法律起诉。”

“如果你在自己的房产上发现了结缕草，最好迅速采取行动并尽快进行勘测。之后可以制定处理计划，无论是使用除草剂、移除，还是两者结合。”

“无论你选择哪种方案，请务必获得一份有保险支持的保证，这样如果它开始重新生长，你知道自己有保障——这也是抵押贷款机构在你要出售房产时所期望看到的。”

但为什么布莱克本如此充斥着日本结缕草？“这很可能与布莱克本的工业过去以及随着时间的推移而产生的大规模土壤迁移有关，”艾米莉解释道。

“像布莱克沃特河 (River Blakewater) 和达文河 (River Darwen) 这样的大河在过去几十年里可能也助长了结缕草的扩散，因为根茎碎片会断裂并随水流向下游漂移，在新的地点扎根。”

我联系了布莱克本与达文市议会，询问他们正在采取哪些措施来解决该自治市的日本结缕草问题。

环境与居民服务总监托尼·沃森 (Tony Watson) 告诉《快报》：“日本结缕草是一个全国性问题，并非布莱克本与达文所特有。”

“在市议会拥有的土地上，只要出现结缕草，就会通过有针对性的处理计划进行积极管理。”

“日本结缕草管理区域根据风险、位置和可用资源确定优先级，需要一段时间的重复处理才能根除该植物。因此，成功的管理往往不被察觉。”

这可能并不完全像《特里菲德之日》(Day of the Triffids) 那样，但日本结缕草确实看起来像一种丑陋的、入侵性的外星生物——而且它可能很快就会出现在你附近的某个邮政编码区。

鱼鹰首次在 RSPB 保护区繁育

三只雏鸟在英格兰孵化

在英格兰的一处 RSPB 自然保护区中，首次诞生了鱼鹰。

六月，一对被认为是初为人父母的繁殖 pair 孵化出了三只稀有的雏鸟。

现在，这些幼鸟在坎布里亚郡的 RSPB Campfield Marsh 学习捕鱼和自立，随后全家将于下个月迁徙到非洲。

鱼鹰在 20 世纪初几乎绝迹，部分原因是维多利亚时代的人们收集它们的蛋和皮用于标本制作。

它们在 20 世纪 50 年代被成功重新引入苏格兰，随后有 316 对繁殖 pair 移居至英国其他地区。

该慈善机构的湿地保护区一直试图通过鱼鹰平台（安装在高杆上的筑巢基地）来吸引这些鸟类。

作者：EMILY BEAMENT

负责人 Mhairi Maclauchlan 表示：“我们非常激动能成为英格兰首个接待一对繁殖鱼鹰的 RSPB 保护区。尽管体型庞大且爪子锋利，但父母表现得出奇温柔。它们在整理巢穴时的表现也具有很强的喜剧效果。鱼鹰通常对栖息地和伴侣非常忠诚，因此我们希望看到更多鱼鹰出现。”

当地小学生将雏鸟命名为 Ash、Beau 和 Bowness Bobbi。这些雏鸟及其此前未被标记的母亲已被佩戴环志。父亲最早于 2021. 年在邓弗里斯（Dumfries）被记录到。鱼鹰的翼展可达 5.5 英尺，在英国猛禽中体型仅次于鹰。

手术之前 在医院等待移植的 Mark

不可分割 Mark 与儿子 Aaron

HUGO

分享一颗肾脏让我们关系更加亲密

由于合适器官的短缺，目前有超过 7,000 名患者在 NHS 的救命移植等待名单上， Bond 和他的儿子 Aaron 向活体捐赠的益处致敬

作者：KAREN ROCKETT

作为一名从职业高尔夫球手转行为俱乐部经理的人， Bond 曾经一直身体非常健康。但在 2013, 在 49, 岁时，他开始感到有些疲倦且身体不适，于是去看全科医生，医生将他转诊给了肾脏专家。“我感到非常倦怠，而且没胃口，这不像我的风格，后来被告知我的肾功能有点低，”他回忆道。“我被建议彻底改变饮食，戒掉油腻食物、土豆和调味料、甜食以及酒精。”

在妻子 Susan 的帮助和支持下， 开始执行一套新的健康方案，每天步行两三英里，并骑自行车以提高体能。“我曾过着不错的生活，体重增加到了 18 stone，但在新方案中，我减轻了 four stone，感觉非常好。”

“我的肾功能一直受到监测，我也在好好照顾自己。”

但尽管做出了努力，到 2016, 开始疲劳得更快——随后的更多检测揭示了原因。

“在付出了所有努力之后，得知我的肾脏功能仅剩 23%，这对我来说是一个巨大的打击，”这位来自兰开夏郡普雷斯顿的两个孩子的父亲说道。

“然后封锁来了，我有两年半没见到我的专家，对此他们表示了道歉。”

高血压

到 2022 年 Mark 再次就诊时，他心碎地得知自己的肾功能已下降至仅 15%。Mark 患有肾病，这是一种由高血压引起肾脏小血管压力过大，从而导致肾脏受损的疾病。

“除了因为体重而患有高血压外，很多年前我打高尔夫球时，因为背部疼痛，每天服用大量的布洛芬，可能每天 8 或 10 片，这种情况持续了多年。那是 80 年代末的事，当时没有人说这样做很危险。”

“顾问医生说，这与我因体重引起的高血压共同作用，很可能是导致我肾病的原因。”

“但这对我来说是个巨大的冲击，因为我一直非常注重自我保养，而且看起来很健康。我被告知需要进行移植，如果我的功能进一步下降，我就需要开始透析，而这是我非常不想做的。”

目前有超过 7,000 名患者在 NHS 的肾移植等待名单上，每周有 6 人在等待肾脏的过程中死亡。此外，目前有 32,000 多人正在进行透析，NHS 每名患者每年的费用约为 3.4 万英镑。对于患有终末期肾衰竭的人来说，这种治疗是必需的。

“肾科护士来家里看我，讨论在房子里的一个房间安装透析机，并说每天需要进行三次，每周四次，”Mark 继续说道。

“我真的不想那样被拴在家里。我一直是个非常活跃的人。事实上，我四次拒绝了透析。”

Mark 当时仍在勉强坚持工作，经营着楚利高尔夫俱乐部（Chorley Golf Club），但只能工作几个小时，随后就不得不回家，瘫在椅子上休息几个小时。

“我晚上 10 点就上床睡觉，但半夜要起来四五次。我经常感到寒冷，而且精疲力竭。”

移植成了他唯一的选择。九名家人和朋友挺身而出，提出接受检测，看他们的肾脏是否适合作为活体捐赠——其中包括 Susan 以及他们的儿子 Aaron, 35, 和 Zack 32。

虽然两个儿子都被证明是完美匹配，但作为长子的 Aaron 坚持由他来捐献。

如今他谦虚地说，这“感觉就是理所当然该做的事”。但 Mark 对他所做出的牺牲非常清楚。

“他绝对是个英雄。他把我的生命还给了我。”

而身为销售经理的 Aaron 则表示：“在我的成长过程中，父亲就是我的超级英雄。我小时候和青少年时期都非常崇拜他，看着他的身体状况恶化并失去原有的能力，真的令人非常担忧。”

“关于捐献肾脏，我没有任何犹豫。这些年来他一直照顾我，现在轮到我来回报他了。”

“而且可能因为我是长子，我觉得现在轮到我来当保护者了。我希望他能尽可能长久地生活，不仅是为了他，也是为了我母亲。他们两人形影不离。”

手术计划

不幸的是，第一次手术被取消了，因为当时发现亚伦脱水严重，导致他的肾功能不足以支持手术。

马克补充道：“他当时非常沮丧，因为在手术前一天凌晨2点，我们两人都在医院里，一切看起来都很好。”

在去年10月失去手术名额后，家人担心可能需要几个月的时间才能再次获得机会。

随后，一名执着的肾科护士设法为他们争取到了December 10在曼彻斯特皇家医院（Manchester Royal Infirmary）的第二次机会，这一次一切都按计划进行。

亚伦捐献了他的左肾。外科医生更倾向于这样做，因为左肾的肾静脉通常较长，这使得在受体身上进行外科连接（吻合术）变得更加容易。马克的新肾脏被安置在右侧前方，而他原有的两个肾脏仍留在原位。

在手术室待了5小时后，马克被送往恢复病房，但不幸的是，医护人员难以稳定他的心率，因此他必须被送入重症监护病房，在那里人们发现他对吗啡产生了反应。

马克说：“一位极好的护士整晚守在我的身边监测我的情况，确保我尽可能舒适。”

小儿子扎克在来探望时非常心碎，因为他有一个令人兴奋的消息要分享：他的妻子安娜贝尔（Annabel）正期待着他们的第一个孩子。 “我的妻子和扎克都流泪了，因为他们担心我可能无法撑到听到这个消息的那一刻。”

然而，第二天马克的感觉好多了，得知自己将第一次成为祖父时感到非常激动，扎克告诉他“现在你有活下去的理由了”。今年7月，宝宝萨凡纳（Savanna）出生，体重7磅 5 oz。

现年61,岁的马克感觉比以往任何时候都好，他说：“我的生活从‘死亡之门’转变为成为‘爷爷’，这简直太神奇了。我的肾功能现在达到了91%，这太不可思议了。”

此时，已经回到健身房且感觉身体强健的亚伦开玩笑说：“没错，他的肾功能比我的好。我的之前是78%但我已经有一段时间没检测了。如果它不提高，我就想把肾要回来了！”

父子俩都无法相信他们从手术中恢复得如此之快。

马克补充道：“我只在医院住了六天，两周后我就在多年来第一次享用丰盛的圣诞午餐。之后我们还去冰岛度假庆祝我妻子的60岁生日，现在我们还有一个美丽的小孙女。生活不能更好了，这全靠我了不起的儿子。他才是真正的超级英雄。”

“我的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化，现在我成了一位祖父，这太神奇了”

生前肾脏捐献

生前肾脏捐献是指有人选择将自己的一个肾脏捐献给需要移植的肾衰竭患者。捐献者可以是朋友或家人，也有一些人选择捐献给移植等待名单上的陌生人。

在英国，生前肾脏移植自 1960 年起就开始实施，每年进行约 1,000 例手术，成功率非常高。

除了考虑生前肾脏捐献外，人们还可以加入逝者捐献登记库，在去世后捐献肾脏和其他器官。然而，只有极少数人在器官适合移植的情况下死亡（不足人口的 1%），因此始终存在短缺。

来自生前捐献者的移植成功率高于来自逝者的捐献，且维持时间也可以长很多年。

成年人等待移植的平均时间为 18 个月，但时间可能会更长。如果更多的人参与生前肾脏捐献，等待名单将会缩短，更多肾病患者可以摆脱（或避免）多年艰苦的透析，恢复健康和独立。对于捐献者来说，这种经历也可以非常有意义。

来自 Robert Danopor 生前肾脏捐献合作伙伴关系（由英国肾脏研究中心 Kidney Research UK 和 Give a Kidney 组成的慈善合作伙伴关系）的一位发言人表示：“许多人感到自豪、充实，甚至在得知自己做了某些事情来帮助其他需要帮助的人时，获得了一种新的价值感。这是一个创造真正改变的机会。”

AZEEM MAJEED 医生：您的健康至关重要

对抗衰弱，让您的生命更长久、更强健

通过增强身体的韧性，为您自己争取最佳的康复机会和独立能力

作为一名 NHS 全科医生，我观察到的现象之一就是人们衰老的方式截然不同。两名患者可能都是 80 岁，但他们的生活状态可能大相径庭。一个人可能仍在旅行、园艺并享受长距离散步，而另一个人可能在爬楼梯或购物等活动中感到吃力。

一个人在几天内就能摆脱的小病，可能会让另一个人需要数周的时间来康复。造成这种差异的原因之一就是衰弱。

什么是衰弱？

在医学术语中，衰弱（frailty）是指身体恢复力下降的一种状态。这意味着即使是轻微的健康问题，其产生的影响也比以往要大得多。

有些人可能从轻微的呼吸道感染中迅速恢复。而患有衰弱症的人可能会变得意识模糊、失去行动能力、遭遇跌倒或需要住院治疗。康复过程通常较慢，且有些人永远无法恢复到患病前的身体水平。

衰弱是在多年时间里通过全身各处发生的改变逐渐发展的，包括肌肉力量的丧失、骨密度降低以及器官应对身体压力的能力下降。

虽然衰弱在年龄增长时变得更加普遍，但这不仅仅是因为衰老。许多人在晚年依然保持健康、活跃且独立。了解什么是衰弱——以及可以采取什么措施来预防或延缓它——是实现更健康老龄化的关键之一。

为什么会产生衰弱？

这通常是由多种因素共同导致的。衰老会导致肌肉量和力量的丧失。糖尿病、心脏病或关节炎等长期医疗状况可能会加速这种衰退。

营养不良、缺乏身体活动以及吸烟也会增加风险，此外还有社会因素。孤独和隔离可能会导致人们身体活动减少、饮食质量下降并失去社交信心。久而久之，这些变化会导致健康状况和独立能力的逐渐下降。

虽然衰弱在老年群体中最常见，但它也会影响较年轻的成年人。患有多种长期疾病、严重残疾或导致肌肉力量和身体恢复力下降的疾病的人，在年轻时也可能出现衰弱。

医生如何识别衰弱？

全科医生在接诊老年患者时会常规检查衰弱的迹象。NHS 的计算机系统越来越多地利用医疗记录中的现有信息，来帮助识别可能处于轻度、中度或重度衰弱状态并可能从支持服务中获益的人群。

但没有任何计算机评分能说明全部情况。识别衰弱的最佳方式是将医疗信息与临床判断相结合。医生会考量一个人处理日常活动的能力、其行动力、记忆力、营养状况以及整体健康水平。

衰弱可以预防吗？

好消息是，衰弱是可以延缓或减缓的。规律的身体活动是单一最有效的措施。增强肌肉力量和改善平衡能力的锻炼有助于人们保持行动力和独立性。

步行对整体健康非常有益，但抗阻训练或爬楼梯等活动也能增强力量并降低跌倒风险。

饮食健康均衡同样重要。老年人有时摄入的食物少于需求量，尤其是独居或食欲不振的人。充足的蛋白质摄入有助于维持肌肉量，而富含水果、蔬菜和全谷物的多样化饮食则支持

整体健康。避免吸烟、限制酒精摄入以及维持健康体重都有助于更健康地老龄化。将长期医疗状况控制在良好水平并参加常规健康检查至关重要。

与家人朋友共度时光、加入社区团体、从事志愿者工作或参加当地活动，都能支持身体和心理的健康。

如果有人已经衰弱了怎么办？

许多处于衰弱状态的人在获得正确支持后，可以提高力量、信心和生活质量。即使对于衰弱的人来说，锻炼仍然是有益的。

医生还可能会审查药物，以减少副作用或停止使用不再需要的药物。

一旦出现衰弱，良好的营养变得更加重要。有些人能从营养师的建议中获益，而另一些人可能需要针对骨质疏松症等疾病进行治疗，以降低骨折风险。预防跌倒是另一个关键部分。这可能包括检查视力和听力、审查鞋类、提高家居安全性以及鼓励适当的身体活动。微小的改变可以带来巨大的影响。

展望未来

帮助人们尽可能长时间地保持健康和独立，对社会而言正变得日益重要。

衰弱是主要挑战之一，但它并非衰老不可避免的后果。许多降低衰弱风险的措施也能改善整体健康。虽然我们谁都无法停止衰老过程，但我们可以影响衰老的质量。

通过养成健康习惯并尽早识别衰弱，我们可以保持活跃、独立，并享受更好的生活质量。

识别迹象以击败结直肠癌

在统计数据表明年轻人死于该疾病的可能性比以往任何时候都高之后，年轻人被警告不要忽视结直肠癌的四个关键症状。

在 20 世纪 90 年代初至 2018, 之间，英国 25 至 49 岁被诊断出患有结直肠癌的成年人数增加了 22%。

该疾病的常规筛查从 50 岁开始，但专家表示，预警信号可能会更早出现，且必须立即检查。结直肠癌在老年人中的诊断频率仍然更高，大约每 17 名男性中有一人，每 20 名女性中有一人在一生中会患上此病。即便如此，年轻人的诊断病例数仍在持续上升。

需要留意的关键预警信号包括：

排便习惯的持续变化：便秘、腹泻、粪便异常细小或正常排便习惯的持久变化可能表明存在潜在问题。有些人可能还会觉得肠道没有排空。当肿瘤引起炎症或部分阻塞肠道时，可能会出现这些症状。

粪便中反复出现血液：粪便中带血是结直肠癌的关键预警信号，尤其是当这种情况出现不止一次时。

颜色或外观的变化：这可能提供额外的线索。鲜红色、深色或柏油状，或粪便中出现黏液，可能与胃肠道、结肠或直肠出血有关。这些变化并不总是意味着存在癌症，但如果持续或复发，则应进行评估。

整体健康状况的不明变化：结直肠癌和其他胃肠道疾病会导致影响全身的症状。不明原因的体重减轻、持续疲劳、虚弱、食欲下降、恶心或呕吐可能表明存在潜在的医疗问题，并有必要就诊全科医生（GP）。

今日电视推荐

作者：迈克·沃德 (MIKE WARD) 电视评论员

今日之选 《夜空》(THE SKY AT NIGHT) BBC4, 晚上10点

《马丁与罗马的丛林公路之旅》(MARTIN AND ROMAN'S BUSH ROAD TRIP), C4, 晚上8点

我们看过杰克·怀特霍尔和他的父亲，罗素·霍华德和他的母亲，以及来自《急诊中心》的布拉德利·沃尔什和他的儿子——没错，这种跨代公路旅行已经成了一种趋势。来自 Spandau Ballet 乐队的贝斯手和那个在《One Show》节目中的家伙，当然，已经成为了一个成熟的“父子档”电视组合，但（我想）这是我们第一次看到他们一起旅行。

这个略显严肃的主题——塑造了爱尔兰人民和文化的传奇、景观、神秘感与历史——实际上赋予了这部剧比大多数节目更多的实质内容，因此他们不需要在每一分钟都塞满父子间的打趣。

《进化》(EVOLUTION), BBC2, 晚上9点

你知道马有 700 块肌肉吗？主持人克里斯·帕克汉姆说，再加上“一颗足球大小的心脏”，我认为这听起来更加不可思议。（如果他说的是“花椰菜大小”，我觉得就无法传达出同样的戏剧感了）。

总之，克里斯在这一集最终章中，通过列举历史上一些最著名的马来追溯这种生物的进化：“珀伽索斯、布赛法洛斯、冠军、触发者 (Trigger)、海比斯基、红朗姆 (Red Rum)。” 我在想，他所指的“触发者”是指罗伊·罗杰斯骑的那匹，还是指为西部最快送奶员厄尼拉奶车的那匹。

布赖恩陷入错综复杂的韦伯之网

成为一名太空专家有时一定很累。尤其是如果你是像我们的老朋友布赖恩·考克斯（Brian Cox）教授那样制作电视节目的人。你的脑子里充满了所有这些令人着迷的信息，你迫不及待地想与数百万观众分享，于是在 BBC 的支持下，你开始制作如《太阳系》（Solar System）、《行星》（The Planets）以及其中最雄心勃勃的《宇宙》（Universe）等精彩系列剧。

像我这样的人观看这些节目时会想：“哇，关于布赖恩实际讨论的那些东西，我学到了这么多。”

然后呢？

然后詹姆斯·韦伯（James Webb）就来把这一切搞砸了。或者更准确地说，是他的望远镜搞砸了。我想你应该熟悉詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜吧？它在五年前发射，是整个太空中最巨大的望远镜（别问我他们是怎么知道的），它的工作就是盯着那些比其他望远镜能看到的任何东西都更古老、更遥远或更难被发现的东西。

我想这很棒，除了一个小麻烦。也就是说，它工作得相当出色，而且真的发现了东西。而且是全新的、出乎意料的东西。

从表面上看，我知道这听起来很棒。当布赖恩在最新一集《夜空》（Sky At Night）节目中与克里斯·林托特（Chris Lintott）教授合作时，他一定会告诉我们这些新发现代表了多么令人兴奋的突破（既然你问起，就是包含“巨大黑洞”的数百个“小红点”）。显然，它们“颠覆了科学家们认为自己所知道的关于黑洞以及宇宙本身演化的所有认知”。

但如果我是布赖恩·考克斯教授，我会对此感到非常恼火。这个可怜的人多年来一直在拼命工作，制作这些关于外界存在什么以及它是如何形成的史诗级系列剧。难道他得把所有东西全部废弃并从零开始，仅仅是因为某个自作聪明的望远镜必须表现出能发现新信息，以证明在它身上花费的 100 亿美元 billion 是合理的吗？

它只需要说：“好吧，我已经按照你们的要求进行了非常彻底的探测，而且，是的，各位，这里没什么好报告的。布赖恩说的完全正确。”

“当然，除了那个发型。”

BEST SPORT（最佳体育）

欧洲田径锦标赛，BBC，10, 上午 10 点

《名人猎人》（CELEBRITY HUNTER），C4，晚上 9 点

随着搜寻的继续，一个大胆的逃脱计划在布赖顿酝酿。两名名人利用军事网络获取情报和支持，但猎人们正在逼近。

历史上的今天

囚犯大批释放，犯罪浪潮迫在眉睫

读到司法部对公众抗议提前释放警察安德鲁·哈珀 (Andrew Harper) 凶手所作出的反应，让我严重质疑管理这个国家的人的智力（见 8月7日《若将监狱压力置于威胁之上则有危险》）。

官员们声称，由于过度拥挤，将这些罪犯留在监狱中可能会导致“不受控制的犯罪”。那么，他们是否真的认为，将数千名罪犯释放到我们的街道上，并且拒绝支持每天冒着生命危险的警察，不会导致更严重的犯罪激增？

他们生活在哪个星球上？ Peter Beckley, 西萨塞克斯郡，克劳利 (Crawley, W Sussex)

现在就将所有外国罪犯遣返回国服刑

这一次，政府再次让公众失望。我们如何能证明，因为监狱满员而给暴力罪犯提供提前释放是合理的（见 8月7日《开始建造更多监狱……否则将面临愤怒！》）？

如果一名罪犯被判处 20 年监禁，他们就应该服刑 20 年，而终身监禁就应该意味着终身。这个制度是对那些被夺走生命的受害者的嘲弄；他们没有第二次机会，而他们的凶手却得到了机会。

我们应该将目前占据监狱牢房的外国国民遣返回其本国服刑。这将释放大量容量，且无需英国纳税人承担费用。

警察的工作非常出色，但经常被英国皇家检察署（CPS）和法院拖后腿。对于警员来说，看到自己的同僚——警察安德鲁·哈珀 (Andrew Harper)——所做的牺牲被如此轻视，一定是令人心碎的。

Shirley Whitaker, 威尔特郡，斯温顿 (Swindon, Wilts)

当疯子接管精神病院时就会发生这种事

我在战后年代长大，不禁在想，我那忠实阅读《每日快报》的父母会对今天的头条新闻作何感想。

一方面，一名勇敢的警察因为保护同事免受一名暴力黑帮分子的侵害，而被拖入法庭并面临被解雇的风险。另一方面，政府竟然在优先考虑将哪些暴力囚犯提前释放到我们的街道上。

一个小村庄的家庭被告知，他们必须容纳一个巨大的移民营地；而女性被告知，她们必须自行监管厕所和更衣室，以防生物学男性进入。我的父母一定会认为，疯子们已经接管了精神病院。

罗伊·丹尼尔斯 (Roy Daniels)， 汉普郡，金斯克莱尔 (Kingsclere, Hants)

为什么村民必须容纳非法移民？

皮丁顿 (Piddington) 约 300 名居民抗议内政部将 1,250 名寻求庇护者转移到附近场地的计划，他们被告知只能改变自己的生活方式（见 8 月 6 日《前沿村庄》）。为什么

连环性侵犯者利维在保释期间杀害两名女性

为什么邪恶的性掠夺者被释放去杀人？

西蒙·利维 (Simon Levy) 积累的刑事指控虽然令人不齿，但在他必须再次出庭应对更多指控时，这些指控似乎几乎没有被考虑过（见 8 月 8 日《性掠夺者被释放去杀人》）。

考虑到他出庭时之前犯罪行为的严重性，为什么他仍被允许保释？缓刑服务机构，甚至警察部门本身，难道从未对批准保释提出过任何异议吗？

司法部门在这一特定案件中的行为可能值得质疑，如果当时做出了不同的决定，是否有可能挽救生命？

安东尼·理查森 (Anthony Richardson)， 斯特林 (Sterling)

他们的孩子会被剥夺使用紧邻拟建设施的村庄操场的权利吗？为什么成年人，尤其是女性，不能像几十年来那样，在天黑后行走在自己的村庄里依然感到安全？

迈克尔·洛克 (Michael Locke)， 肯特郡，吉林汉姆 (Gillingham, Kent)

学术界有多少个“沃尔特·米蒂”？

鉴于剑桥大学在任命杰森·阿尔代 (Jason Arday) 时完全缺乏审查，必须对其在验证此前高知名度雇员时的专业标准提出质疑（见 8 月 6 日《抄袭风波：教授在调查中辞职》）。

是否还有更多背景造假的“沃尔特·米蒂”式人物？现在看来，伪造学历并寄希望于侥幸通过似乎很简单。

毕竟，即使是最高职位的政治家也被发现曾掩盖其过去职业生涯的事实记录。

安东尼·理查森 (Anthony Richardson)， 斯特林 (Sterling)

英国由糊涂且不合格的政治家领导

我每天阅读《每日快报》，虽然报纸充满了详尽的政治信息且评论公正，但我有一个迫切的问题。

代表公众发声的政治家竟然没有任何专业门槛，这是否正确？究竟有多少人真正拥有政治学或治理学学位？

个人在完全没有任何相关正式资格的情况下就能治理我们的国家，这似乎令人深感担忧。

朱恩·欧文 (June Irwin)， 切斯特 (Chester)

伯纳姆不能重复戈登·布朗的错误

安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 经常谈到北方重新工业化的紧迫需求。如果他是认真的，北海石油的扩张将是他领导能力的试金石（见 8 月 3 日《首相被告知：BP退出北海，‘是时候采取行动了’》）。

此外，从环境角度来看，国内石油作为高质量原材料（而非仅仅是燃料）具有强有力的理由。风力涡轮机、核电站和现代铁路等绿色技术在维护方面严重依赖石油产品。如果不全面扩张，伯纳姆可能会像戈登·布朗 (Gordon Brown) 一样被记住——口头上谈论“新的开始”，但在实际细节上失败。

约翰·巴斯托 (John Barstow)， 曼彻斯特 (Manchester)

贫困者与老年人为超市必需品支付税款

埃丝特·麦克维（Esther McVey）在指责政府空谈时提出了一个很好的观点，她建议政府可以轻松阻止超市“宰”公众（见 8 月 4 日《我希望希利（Healey）的任期很短》）。

看看牛奶：6 品脱的价格是 £2.40（折合每品脱 40 便士），而单品脱的价格则是 85 便士。

这种定价结构对于独居且无法使用或负担大容量产品的老年人和贫困人群来说极其不公平。有人在推高这些价格，公众有权知道是谁。

期待“狗之父”在《舞动奇迹》中领跑

我期待今年秋天在《舞动奇迹》（Strictly）的舞池中看到格雷姆·霍尔（Graeme Hall）（见 8 月 6 日《“狗之父”格雷姆开始舞蹈训练》）。有趣的是，即将到来的系列赛参与者被称为“参赛者”而非“名人”，因为在目前的阵容中，格雷姆是我唯一听说过的人名。

切斯特动物园公布稀有雏鸟的“蛋”级好消息

切斯特动物园取得了一项了不起的成就。关于刚出生的秘书鸟雏鸟的新闻真的点亮了我的一天（见 8 月 6 日《瞧，这是一只神奇的小鸟！》）。

祝贺动物园敬业的工作人员，他们帮助增加了这些非凡且庄重的鸟类的数量。我希望它们在完全成熟后，都能成功地融入更广泛的繁育计划中。

在一个日益愤世嫉俗且残酷的世界里，这一期待已久的事件确实是一个真正的羽翼奇迹。

玛丽·温莎（Mary Windsor）， 诺丁汉郡，曼斯菲尔德

54 年前 (1972) 我们报道了爱尔兰最被通缉的人之一、在逃的 IRA 领导人马丁·米汉（Martin Meehan）被捕的消息——在贝尔法斯特的一场枪战中，当部队冲进一栋房子时，他正躲在卧室门后。在收到举报后，搜捕行动动用了 100 多名士兵。米汉在“麻烦时期”被监禁 18 年，出狱后成为 Sinn Fein 的领导成员。他于 2007 年去世。

115 年前 (1911) 首相赫伯特·阿斯奎斯（Herbert Asquith）领导的自由党政府通过了《议会法》，首次为国会议员提供年度薪金。

该立法旨在帮助工人阶级议员在这一此前仅对富人开放的岗位上维持生计。薪金定为每年 £400。

36 年前 (1990) 美国麦哲伦号（Magellan）航天器在经过 15 个月的旅程后抵达金星，开始绘制该行星的表面地图。在接下来的四年里，它制作了一幅详细的金星雷达图，并发现金星 85% 的表面存在火山活动的证据。麦哲伦号最终于 1994 年 10 月在金星大气层中烧毁。

鲁珀特与愤怒的大海 第13号

“一条鱼！”鲁珀特惊呼道，“天哪！”它被大海遗弃在这里搁浅了！

“一定有我能做的事。对了！这个水池足够你待了。”

鲁珀特悄悄走到水池边向里窥视。令他惊讶的是，他看到一条大鱼在浅水中剧烈地拍打着。 “可怜的小家伙！”他喊道，“它一定是被突如其来的暴风雨冲到这里搁浅的。”鲁珀特决定帮助这条鱼。大海太远了，不敢冒险把它搬到水边，于是他开始寻找一个更大的水池。一旦找到了，他就回到鱼身边，解释他准备做什么。令他惊讶的是，这条鱼让他把它从水里拎起来并搬到更大的水池中，仿佛它听懂了每一个字。

作者：乔恩·利斯 (Jon Lees)

下周日在法国举行的 Bow Echo 对阵 Gstaad 的第四场对决已被取消。

他们的下一次潜在交锋原定于在多维尔的雅克·勒马鲁瓦奖 (Prix Jacques le Marois) 举行，但艾丹·奥布莱恩 (Aidan O'Brien) 昨天透露，他的赛马在由 Bow Echo 获胜的古德伍德萨塞克斯锦标赛 (Sussex Stakes at Goodwood) 中受了伤。

本赛季，Gstaad 在 2,000 几尼赛 (2,000 Guineas)、圣詹姆斯宫锦标赛 (St James's Palace Stakes) 和萨塞克斯锦标赛中三次屈居 Bow Echo 之后，获得亚军。

“他在古德伍德被其他马撞到了，导致后部出现了一点感染，”奥布莱恩（右图）说道。

“我们给他用了抗生素，按照通常使用的抗生素，我们可以在七天内让他参赛，但由于伤口较深，必须给他使用强效抗生素，因此需要 14 天，药物无法及时从体内代谢完毕。”

“在下次参赛前，可能会等到穆兰奖 (Moulin)。”

昨天在库拉 (Curraith)，奥布莱恩第 18 次赢得了 6 浪组一级的国家锦标赛 (National Stakes)，但这是他首次由一匹雌马夺冠，

艾丹宣布取消最新的 Echo 对决

是在瑞安·摩尔 (Ryan Moore) 的骑乘下，Sun Goddess 从最后一名反超至第一名。

“如果你愿意，她可以参加 Moyglaze，可以参加 Cheveley Park，最后也可以去美国，”奥布莱恩说。

在德国，由西尔·马克·普雷斯科特 (Sir Mark Prescott) 训练的 Tiffany 在柏林大奖赛 (Grosse Preis von Berlin) 中结束了在组一级赛事中连续三次获得亚军的记录。她的教练上次赢得这项赛事是在 Alpinista 夺冠之时，而 Alpinista 在夺得 2022 年凯旋门大赛 (Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe) 的前一年赢得了该赛。现在，凯旋门大赛也成为了这匹由 Elite Racing 拥有的母马的可选目标。

普雷斯科特表示：“无论是勇敢地前往美国参加育马者杯 (Breeders' Cup)，还是勇敢地参加凯旋门大赛，我还不确定，但你一定会做一些相当勇敢的决定，因为其他比赛她都已经参加过了。”

明智的选择能让赌马者获利

WISE CRACK (5.15) 可能会在艾尔（Ayr）的“Ladbrokes Play 1-2-Free”让磅赛中让其支持者露出笑容。

鲁斯·卡尔（Ruth Carr）这匹三岁马在卡特罗尔大厅（Catterall Hall）的比赛中凭借大幅提升的表现首次取得突破，首次佩戴的装备似乎起到了很大作用。

该装备将再次使用，且其表现足以应对 3 磅的权重提升。

WATEERA (6.45-8.0) 充满潜力，在温莎（Windsor）的 Vintners Restricted Horace Stakes 比赛中，需警惕大热门 Real Bullet。库尔特·伯克（Kurt Burke）的

由 The Scout (Melissa Jones) 撰写

Invisible May 在其首次亮相中强势冲线，随后在纽伯里（Newbury）以让磅给所有对手的劣势依然获得了出色的第三名。

而 PRINCESS HONEY BEE (7.45-10) 则有望在 Winderer Restricted-Malines Pallet Stakes 比赛中给博彩者带来打击。

她今年两次参赛均获得亚军，在比利·洛纳恩（Billy Loughnane）的骑乘下，今天在权重方面有很大机会取得更好的成绩。

RAUL 的

一名英国人

特别报道

aprilia

RAUL FERNANDEZ 在昨日于银石赛道举行的英国 MotoGP 比赛中夺冠，取得了本赛季的首场胜利，他坚称自己弥补了周六的失误。

这位 25 岁的 Trackhouse 车手在周六的冲刺赛中因碰撞出局，但在正赛中实现了自我救赎，以 39 分 45.93 秒率先冲线。他成为了 12 场英国 MotoGP 比赛中的第 12 位不同获胜者。

“我在赛道上的感觉就像个孩子一样开心，”这位西班牙人说道，“我非常高兴，甚至不知道该说什么，或者该如何描述我的感受。”

“这是一个精彩的周末。确实，周六在犯错之后我很生气——那是一颗难以吞下的苦药。但这就是运动的一部分。”

“作为一个人，难免偶尔会犯错——但现在我已经弥补回来了。”

Fernandez 从发车格第二位起跑，迅速超越了积分榜领先者 Jorge Martin，并在全部 20 圈的每一圈结束时都处于领先地位。

Aprilia 车队的 Martin——这位 2024 年冠军——在起跑不佳后奋起直追，最终获得第二名，落后 2.538 秒，将其在总积分榜上的领先优势扩大到 31 分。Martin 的队友 Marco Bezzecchi 顶住了 Gresini Ducati 车手 Alex Marquez 的压力，完成了领奖台的最后一块拼图，而来自日本的 Ai Ogura 在比赛过半前因碰撞出局。

现任 MotoGP 冠军 Marc Marquez 在 5 月肩部手术后回归以来经历了最糟糕的一个周末，最终获得第七名。

“赛车状态良好，轮胎状态良好。只是今天我找不到更好的突破口，第七名是我们已经在纸面上预料到的结果，”Marquez 表示。

“乐观的结果是前五名，但我们没能以最佳方式处理，最终获得了第七名。”

Martin 的第二名完赛使他在积分榜榜首保持 31 分的领先优势，工厂 Aprilia 队友 Bezzecchi 目前是 Martin 最近的竞争对手。

“这里的成绩对我个人和车队来说都是巨大的信心提升，”Martin 说道。

“看来我们已经找到了一些方向，现在可以将势头掌控在自己手中。比赛非常精彩。我在起跑时犯了一个小错，但我很高兴能够奋力反击。”

板球 Metro Bank 一日杯

斯托克斯大显神威

本·斯托克斯（Ben Stokes）迅速砍下 43 分，帮助达勒姆队在达灵顿举行的 B 组比赛中以 20 分之差战胜埃塞克斯队。

由于清晨降雨，比赛被缩减至每队 38 个回合。达勒姆队在埃塞克斯队的决定下先行击球，一度陷入 30-3 的劣势。

但前英格兰队长斯托克斯（右）在 27 个球中猛轰 43 分，其中包括 5 个四分球和 2 个六分球；随后科林·阿克曼（Colin Ackermann）贡献了 80 分且未被出局，帮助球队最终以 229-5 结束击球。

埃塞克斯队开局击球手诺亚·泰恩（Noah Thain）获得 76 分，但客队其余的高位击球手均低分出局，最终被全队出局，得分为 209。在其他赛场，杰克·利比（Jake Libby）在单日杯（One-Day Cup）的四场比赛中第四次获得百分之分，但这仍不足以让伍斯特郡队获胜，格拉摩根队在加的夫的最后一只球上抢下了两分之差的胜利。

B 组领头羊米德尔塞克斯队凭借马克斯·霍尔登（Max Holden，65 分）和本·盖德斯（Ben Geddes，109 分）在第三位击球点上的 156 分合作，轻松以 87 分之差战胜德比郡队。

汉普郡队的开局击球手阿里·奥尔（Ali Orr，105 分）和本·梅耶斯（Ben Mayes，109 分）在首位击球点上合作贡献 225 分，帮助球队在对阵萨塞克斯队的比赛中以 51 分之差获胜。

丹尼尔·贝尔-德拉蒙德（Daniel Bell-Drummond）凭借出色的 133 分（未被出局），带领肯特队以六分之差战胜 A 组领头羊莱斯特郡队，延续了晋级希望。诺丁汉郡队尽管队长哈西布·哈米德（Haseeb Hameed）获得 85 分，但在比赛还剩五个球时输给了格洛斯特郡队。

田径：欧洲锦标赛

本土热门选手 七项全能运动员丹妮丝·刘易斯（Denise Lewis）

刘易斯：英国有望举办更多赛事

作者：米莉·麦克埃沃伊（MILLY McEVOY） 丹妮丝·刘易斯女爵（Dame Denise Lewis）希望英国首次举办的欧洲田径锦标赛能为未来在该国举办更多赛事奠定基础。

前七项全能运动员刘易斯来自西米德兰兹郡，她的田径生涯始于本周的举办地——伯明翰的亚历山大体育场，当时她效力于当地的 Birchfield Harriers 俱乐部。

她目前担任英国田径协会（UKA）主席——而此次锦标赛紧随 UKA 提交申请在 2029 年于伦敦举办世界田径锦标赛的消息之后举行。

刘易斯表示：“这里是家，是心之所在。”

“离这里不远有一个地方，我在训练前经常在那里小睡一会儿。”

“这条跑道，这个设施对我来说意味着全世界。”

“看到它的演变、成长以及我们今天所看到的景象，让我感到非常自豪。”

当刘易斯在 2000 年悉尼奥运会上被加冕为七项全能冠军时，她成为了英国田径成功的标志性人物，而现在她旨在引领这项运动进入一个新的黄金时代。

这位 53 岁的运动员补充道：“希望会有某个年轻人，或者好几个年轻人想到，‘我想成为其中的一部分’。”

“还有志愿者，因为我们知道这项运动在志愿者方面面临困难。”

“我们希望人们愿意在各个层面参与进来。”

“对我来说，这就是影响力所在。”

“这将令人难忘，希望我们可以期待举办更多的锦标赛。”

“女王”基利准备夺回她的王冠

英国金女在至关重要的时刻力求反弹

未经雕琢的钻石 在伦敦获胜，但霍奇金森的光芒被克尔的纪录掩盖

作者：保罗·马丁（PAUL MARTIN） 基利·霍奇金森（KEELY HODGKINSON）并不习惯在英国或欧洲田径舞台上扮演配角，但今年夏天，这种情况在两个方面出现了。

同为英国人的乔什·克尔（Josh Kerr）打破了维持 27 年的一英里世界纪录，创造了历史；而瑞士的奥德丽·韦罗（Audrey Werro）则跑出了 1983 年以来最快的 800 米成绩。

然而，霍奇金森仍然是自莫·法拉爵士（Sir Mo Farah）和杰西卡·恩尼斯-希尔女爵士（Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill）以来代表英国的最伟大运动员——而本周，她准备再次证明这一点。

欧洲田径锦标赛今天上午在伯明翰开幕，没有任何一场对决会比霍奇金森对阵韦罗更令人期待。这位英国金女——奥运会 800 米冠军、卫冕欧洲 800 米冠军、室内 800 米世界纪录保持者——在夏季之初的目标是打破雅米拉·克拉托赫维洛娃（Jarmila Kratochvilova）1min 53.28secs 的世界纪录。

但在 6 月的斯德哥尔摩钻石联赛中，韦罗，22, 几乎做到了这一点，她以 1:53.98. 的成绩在冲刺中击败霍奇金森获得冠军。这是历史上第三快的成绩，而就在同一天，霍奇金森以 1:54.33. 的成绩打破了自己的国家纪录，升至历史总榜第六位。三周后在巴黎，这位瑞士之星跑出了更快的 1:53.80。

随后在上个月，在克尔凭借在伦敦钻石联赛中的惊人表现抢占头条之后，几分钟后获胜的霍奇金森本赛季首场室外赛冠军，其影响力并未能像往常那样充分体现。

但本周在亚历山大体育场（Alexander Stadium）等待她的是“锦标赛模式”的比赛，而霍奇金森准备证明没有人比她更强，正如她在 3 月于托伦（Torun）赢得世界室内 800 米冠军、而韦罗获得银牌时所证明的那样。

霍奇金森表示：“我始终支持并相信自己。竞争只会激发我最好的一面。”

“我热爱锦标赛比赛。这与在巡回赛中跑步非常不同，没有配速员之类的人。这完全靠心气、勇气和决心，通过预赛并在决赛中跑出高速。我对目前的状况感到满意。”

“过去几周感觉非常好。显然我经历了一些不太顺利的时刻，比如（7 月训练时）摔倒之类愚蠢的事情。但这种情况时有发生，有时并非事事顺心。过去几周真的非常棒，我很兴奋。”

女子 800 米决赛应该会非常精彩，霍奇金森和多次 400 米栏世界冠军费姆克·布罗德斯-博尔（Femke Broeders-Bol）将成为挑战韦罗的主要力量。

这位瑞士之星表示：“目前，我们在 800 米项目上确实拥有极深的底蕴。”

“我非常喜欢这一点。因为我们可以互相激励，所以更容易跑出极快的成绩。”但韦罗在谈到本周是否能名留青史时提醒要谨慎。

“我认为这里不是创造世界纪录的最佳场所，因为目标是赢得奖牌，”她补充道。

“我不知道比赛速度会很快，还是会是一场战术赛。我现在脑子里没有世界纪录，我对欧洲锦标赛的目标是登上领奖台。”

电影迷 Amy 志在夺金

作者：LAURA HOWARD

AMY HUNT 正在将自己比作电影《歌舞青春》中的角色，她希望在主场举办的欧洲田径锦标赛上赢得一切。

这位 24 岁的英国短跑运动员将在伯明翰参加四个项目——100m, 200m 以及女子和混合 4x100m 接力——这意味着她在七天时间里将有五天需要出赛。Hunt 表示：“引用夏佩·埃文斯（Sharpay Evans）的话，‘我想要全部’。成为一名全面的短跑运动员并在 60, 100, 200 和接力赛中都具有竞争力是非常重要的。”

“我有一套严格的恢复计划，但我迫不及待地想走到赛场上，尽可能多次地感受观众的热情。”这也是她在其他赛事中采取的方式，两周前她在 10.98secs 的成绩下夺得了英联邦运动会 100m 银牌。

Hunt 仍在寻求她的首枚重大个人金牌，在今晚的 100m 焦点战中，她必须克服包括英国竞争对手 Dina Asher-Smith 在内的其他选手。

该项目是伯明翰开幕之夜的重头戏，将于晚上 9.50pm 开始。

Jakob 誓言准备不足不会成为他的致命伤

作者：LAURA HOWARD JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN 的欧洲王朝看起来比以往任何时候都更不稳定，但这位挪威人坚持认为他已经准备好了。当这位卫冕欧洲冠军今晚在伯明翰出线捍卫他的 5,000m 冠军头衔时，这将是他本赛季的第一场比赛。

在过去的十年里，Ingebrigtsen 统治了中距离跑步，自 2018. 以来赢得了每一个欧洲 1500m 和 5,000m 冠军。但这位 25 岁的运动员在 2 月份接受了跟腱手术，导致他直到现在才复出。“如果你在等待完美的准备、完美的情况、完美的时间，你将等待一生，”他说。“任何这些年来看过我比赛的人都会知道，竞争才是驱动我的动力。”虽然 Ingebrigtsen 的王朝可能会出现裂痕，但由英国田径协会（UK Athletics）首席执行官 Jack Buckner 创下的锦标赛纪录将更难被打破。Buckner 正在监督此次锦标赛在英国本土的首次亮相，他在 1986 年斯图加特创下的 13mins 10.15secs 的成绩，让那些专注于奖牌而非时间的参赛者们感到压力。

足球：英超倒计时

Bamford 为 Wilder 的刀锋队增添锐气

CARABAO 杯 曼斯菲尔德 0 谢菲尔德联 3

谢菲尔德联在轻取甲级联赛曼斯菲尔德队后，轻松晋级 Carabao 杯第二轮。

克里斯·怀尔德（Chris Wilder）执教的这支冠军联赛球队在门前表现出更强的沉着，从而为上赛季在足总杯被“牡鹿队”（Stags）淘汰地复了仇。

帕特里克·班福德（Patrick Bamford）、马克·麦金尼斯（Mark McGuinness，插图）和卡勒姆·奥哈尔（Callum O'Hare）均取得进球，确保了晋级下一轮的席位。

在第四分钟，中场球员乔·罗斯威尔（Joe Rothwell）两次射门被封堵，随后第三次射门偏出，正好落在班福德路径上，后者在 8 码处将球拨过哈里·刘易斯（Harry Lewis）破门，刀锋队率先领先。刀锋队门将迈克尔·库珀（Michael Cooper）在另一端化解了弗雷泽·布莱克-特雷西（Frazer Blake-Tracy）的凌空抽射。

半场休息后，曼斯菲尔德的替补球员里斯·奥茨（Rhys Oates）曾有绝佳的扳平机会，但在绕过库珀后将球带出了界外。

麦金尼斯在第 71 分钟通过一次强力头球接应西迪·佩克（Sydie Peck）的角球，彻底锁定了胜局。

而奥哈尔在第 89 分钟在被瑞安·万（Ryan One）缠住的情况下，在 4 码处将球射入球门顶角。

刀锋队主帅怀尔德表示：“这对帕特里克·班福德来说很有好处。我想他在季前赛中没有进球，他一直在默默努力。

“自从他来到俱乐部以来，他的表现一直非常出色。他在场上的存在感、他的终结能力，他并不害怕失误。我很乐意与他共事。”

在强力前锋 Wright 进球后 McInnes 仍未获胜

苏格兰超级联赛

德里克·麦金尼斯（DEREK McInNES）在执掌格拉斯哥流浪者队（Rangers）后的首胜之梦仍在延续，他在主场的首秀以 2-1 负于 Hibernian 告终。

在 VAR 判定新援 Vanja Dragojevic 对 Jason Kerr 犯规后，客队在第 12 分钟通过乔什·坎贝尔（Josh Campbell）的点球取得领先。随后，当明星前锋 Youssef Chermiti 被担架抬离球场时，流浪者队的下午变得更加糟糕。

流浪者队在第 85 分钟通过 Miguel Chaiwa 的乌龙球扳平比分，但 Hibs 的替补球员卡勒姆·赖特（Callum Wright，插图）在补时阶段以一记精彩的射门击中球门上角。

这使得流浪者队落后凯尔特人（Celtic） 5 分。

凯尔特人以 5-1 大胜基尔马诺克（Kilmarnock），其中包括新前锋 Kasper Hogh 的帽子戏法，为正在康复中的主教练马丁·奥尼尔（Martin O'Neill）加油鼓劲。

Hogh 在前 35 分钟内打入三球，随后本杰明·尼格伦（Benjamin Nygren）在半场休息后不久打入第四球。

迈克尔·肖宁-拉森（Michael Schjonning-Larsen）为基尔马诺克队打入 1 球挽回颜面，但冠军球队的卢克·麦考恩（Luke McCowan）完成了最后一击。赫茨（Hearts）以 4-0 大胜邓迪联（Dundee United），摆脱了连续 4 场失利的阴影。

沃特·弗兰肯（Wouter Vrancken）作为 Jambos 主教练的首场胜利得益于夏季新援 Tom Renaud、Calvin Miller 和 Josh McPake 的进球，以及 Claudio Braga 的一次得分。

马瑟韦尔（Motherwell）与法尔基克（Falkirk）战成 0-0 平局。

没有萨利巴的午餐

受伤的枪手留下巨大的防守缺口

作者：瑞安·泰勒，发自酋长球场。不要过度解读季前友谊赛——当然，除非你的防守烂得一塌糊涂。

距离对阵 newly-promoted 科文垂的英超揭幕战还不到两周时间，冠军球队阿森纳仍在热身。

但在接连输给皇家贝蒂斯和多特蒙德且丢了 3 个球之后，人们很难分辨这仅仅是久未比赛的生疏，还是在没有威廉·萨利巴的情况下，球队真实状态的缩影。

背景至关重要，因为就在一年多前，枪手在主场一场同样混乱的比赛中被比利亚雷亚尔 3-2 击败，令人震惊。

随后，他们以 3-0 完胜毕尔巴鄂竞技，零封对手，并开启了俱乐部辉煌历史上最令人难忘的赛季之一。

但同样事实是，阿森纳目前看来很幸运，因为除了托特纳姆之外，他们的直接竞争对手至今都没有大幅加强。

虽然他们仍然是卫冕冠军的最有力竞争者，但在威风凛凛的法国人萨利巴缺阵的情况下，他们的后防线就是无法产生化学反应，且防守深度严重不足。本·怀特（插图）上赛季在顶级联赛仅出场 12 次，他在内侧副韧带（MCL）受伤后回归，但在尤里安·廷贝尔缺阵的情况下，阿森纳目前对他身体状况的信任度极高。

ARSENAL 2 DORTMUND 3 Radio 7, Karelian 2X, Galax 58

在多特蒙德的第一个进球发生时，枪手在 7 分钟内就被撕开了防线，随后，阿森纳去年夏天关注的天才球员康斯坦丁诺斯·卡雷察斯用一记精彩的弧线球再次击穿了防线。

就在伊森·恩瓦内里为阿森纳提供一线生机后不久，主队在一次混乱的定位球进攻中丢球。

一名多面手后卫现在应该是米克尔·阿尔特塔和体育总监安德烈亚·贝尔塔的最高转会优先级之一。如果再出现一次伤病，舆论风向将迅速转变。

世界杯对所有层面的所有参与者来说都是极其艰苦的。

这次赛事对生物钟造成了残酷打击，是一场心理上的苦战，这还没考虑到在漫长的国内赛季之后，参赛球员的工作量所带来的实际身体损耗。

可以说，阿森纳比任何其他英超俱乐部都更需要从现在起谨慎管理他们的球星。冠军球队上赛季在所有四项赛事中都走得很远，而德克兰·赖斯、布卡约·萨卡、加布里埃尔和萨利巴都在忍受不同程度的疼痛。

后者最终为他的勇敢付出了代价，但阿尔特塔无法承受赖斯或尤其是加布里埃尔在本赛季崩溃，因为他们对于英超卫冕至关重要。

认为过程中不会产生后果或许过于天真，这进一步凸显了贝尔塔进行强力引援的重要性。

布鲁诺·吉马良斯以 7500 万英镑m 的身价加盟——这位巴西中场在开球前向酋长球场的观众亮相——将有助于保护赖斯的身体状态。

充足的防守覆盖也是必需的，而转会窗口仅剩三周多时间，仍有工作要做。

吉马良斯在看台观战后，现在很可能在周三对阵科莫的比赛中首秀，他无疑是一次顶级的引进，但阿尔特塔的左翼——一个有改进空间的重点区域——尽管克里斯托斯·佐洛在北伦敦的开局引人注目，但尚未证明比上赛季有决定性的提升。

下周末在加的夫与曼彻斯特城的社区盾杯对决，应该能成为衡量阿森纳真实状态的一个强有力标尺。

输掉那场比赛对于对阵科文垂来说将不是理想的准备。

追求更多的阿尔特塔

据后页报道，阿森纳的夏季引援可能不会在吉马良斯这里结束，一名前锋和一名中后卫有可能加盟。

“嗯，这就是我们试图做的，”阿尔特塔说道。“如果在市场上能找到能让我们变得更好的合适球员，我们非常期待那个时机。”

除了受伤的中后卫威廉·萨利巴，阿森纳其余参加世界杯的球星预计今天将回归训练。

阿尔特塔的球队将在周日社区盾杯中对阵曼彻斯特城，他无法提供萨利巴回归的具体时间表，而尤里安·廷贝尔尽管在加速从腹股沟小手术中恢复，但距离回归仍有“数周之久”。

谈到萨利巴时，他表示：“两周时间里，他基本上必须几乎什么都不做，以免加重伤势。

“痊愈还需要一段时间。”

利物浦 2 摩纳哥 3

Goodwill 4 / 5 英寸。3月 56，文莱 88

作者：保罗·戈斯特 (PAUL GORST) 如果安多尼·伊拉奥拉 (Andoni Iraola) 想要作为利物浦的主教练获得成功，亚历山大·伊萨克 (Alexander Isak) 和弗洛里安·维尔茨 (Florian Wirtz) 必须不负俱乐部巨大的投资。

因此，对于这对组合来说，这次——在这位巴斯克人在新角色中首次体验安菲尔德球场时——这 45 分钟的表现是非常令人鼓舞的。

两名球员在上半场各入一球，这是英超开赛前在这里进行的两场季前友谊赛首场比赛中的主要亮点，但意义不止于此。

考虑到上赛季在阿尔内·斯洛特（Arne Slot）麾下两人共同出场的时间极少，伊萨克（Isak）和维尔茨（Wirtz）的搭档仍处于早期阶段。

但比赛中出现的一些闪光点足以表明，这对身价 £24 的组合能够证明为何他们位列利物浦最昂贵球员名单的第一和第二位。

伊萨克进球时的那种水准必须成为常态。这位瑞典国脚去年夏天从纽卡斯尔转会而来的争议举动，极大地影响了他的红军首个赛季。四个月的腿骨折缺阵也毫无帮助。

但他控制瑞安·格拉文贝赫（Ryan Gravenberch）传球的方式——球传到他身边的位置很尴尬——随后转身将球射过卢卡斯·赫拉德基（Lukas Hradecky）身侧，及时提醒了人们他的天赋。随后，当 9 号球员在争取第二个进球时，维尔茨利用门前混战的混乱局面将利物浦的领先优势扩大到两球。

伊萨克在倒地扫球时试图将这次进球据为己有。俱乐部进球判定小组将不得不对此做出裁决。

维尔茨上赛季遇到的麻烦不像伊萨克那么明显，但这位德国国脚并未达到一名身价 £11 的组织核心的预期。然而，在伊拉奥拉（Iraola）的调教下，他到目前为止看起来焕然一新。

当亚历山大·戈洛温（Aleksandr Golovin）盘球进入禁区，随后队长范戴克（Virgil van Dijk）在回归俱乐部职责时对他犯规，摩纳哥抓住了机会。这位俄罗斯队长在半场前打入了随后的点球。

在重启比赛后，当乔治·马马尔达什维利（Giorgi Mamardashvili）在最初挡出米卡·比雷斯（Mika Biereth）的射门后无法完成第二次扑救时，这支法甲球队扳平了比分。

连续第二个周日，防守上的脆弱让伊拉奥拉的球队付出了代价，他们丢掉了两球的领先优势。

替补上场的帕里斯·布鲁纳（Paris Brunner）（左）通过角球头球打入摩纳哥的绝杀球。

即将从巴塞罗那租借而来的罗纳德·阿劳霍（Ronald Araujo）必须提供必要的质量，以帮助中后卫部门。

前锋体能接近巅峰

IV JAM BOYLE 亚历山大·伊萨克（Alexander Isak）认为，在主教练安多尼·伊拉奥拉（Andoni Iraola）的带领下，他现在正接近体能巅峰，并为利物浦队的士气注入了活力。

在利物浦队继续季前准备期间，他们在主场以 3-2 遗憾负于摩纳哥，而伊萨克在比赛中取得了进球。他是众多在 60 分钟被替换下的利物浦球员之一——此前上周末在美国对阵利兹联的比赛中，他出场了 45 分钟。

谈到这次延长出场时间，这位前锋表示：“感觉很好。能回到主场真的太棒了。回到球迷面前并增加一些出场时间——感觉很不错。我想我和 Flo（弗洛里安·维尔茨，Florian Wirtz）对第二个进球达成了共识。”

“我们两人都触到了球，但老实说，我不知道谁触了第一下或最后一下。感觉球在脚上，但我并不太确定。”

“我感觉很好。希望每场比赛都能让我达到更好的体能水平。这就是我的努力方向。这就是季前赛的目的，这很有趣。”

伊拉奥拉告诉 LFC TV，他的新部下尚未完全进入状态。他表示：“我们无法在整场比赛中维持我们想要的水平。一旦我们做出一些调整，他们就开始感到疲倦。所以我们还有工作要做。”

罗德里预计回归，但曼城在他不在时依然闪耀

摘自后页

报价从 3900 万英镑m 升至 5100 万英镑m。其他进入世界杯后期阶段的球员正陆续提前回归，尽管冠军成员罗德里（Rodri）进行了背部手术，正面临着在赛季开始前恢复体能的挑战。

曼城正寻求从里尔引进 18, 岁的艾尤布·布阿迪（Ayyoub Bouaddi），并打算在估值达标的情况下，替换 30, 岁的罗德里或任何希望离队的其他中场球员。

在球场上，曼城在首尔以 3-1 击败马德里竞技，这进一步表明在主帅恩佐·马雷斯卡（Enzo Maresca）的带领下，球队正开始成型。

16, 岁的青少年球员豪尔赫·多明格斯（Jorge Dominguez）为西班牙人队取得领先，但安托万·塞门约（Antoine Semenyo）为奥马尔·马尔穆什（Omar Marmoush，左）创造了两次进球机会，随后拉扬·埃尔-努里（Rayan El-Nouri）在伤停补时阶段锁定胜局。

希亚之喜

富勒姆已就以 £3000 万 的方案签下南安普顿的希亚·查尔斯（Shea Charles）达成一致。

这将使 22, 岁的查尔斯成为北爱尔兰最昂贵的足球运动员。

尽管利兹联此前三次出价均告失败，但这位中场球员在整个转会窗口期间一直是富勒姆的关键目标。

除了向这位前曼城青年队球员支付 2600 万英镑m 的初始费用外，南安普顿还在交易中加入了一项分成条款。

查尔斯（右）预计将在今天接受体检，随后完成转会。

队长埃苏戈很高兴能领航

DARIO ESSUGO 承认被任命为切尔西队长令他感到意外，但这位中场球员决心继续进步。

在切尔西以 3-3 平局对阵柔佛达鲁尔塔짐（Johor Darul Ta'zim）结束亚洲之旅时，埃苏戈在马来西亚率队出场。

哈比·阿隆索（Xabi Alonso）派出了一套主要由替补组成的阵容，由 21, 岁的埃苏戈担任队长，他在上周对阵尤文图斯的友谊赛结束时也佩戴了队长袖标。

埃苏戈（下）表示：“这对我很重要，因为我没预料到。这对所有球员来说是一个信号，即关键不在于年龄，而在于成熟度。”

卢卡斯回归

法国后卫卢卡斯·迪涅（Lucas Digne）已完成从阿斯顿维拉回归巴黎圣日耳曼的转会，双方签署了一份为期三年的合同。

这位 33 岁的边后卫曾参加了法国国家队在世界杯上的六场比赛。他与维拉公园的合同还剩两年，巴黎圣日耳曼触发了约 £700 万的解约金条款。

迪涅在 2022 年加盟维拉之前曾在埃弗顿效力四年。在 2016 年转会巴塞罗那之前的三年巴黎圣日耳曼生涯中，他曾在法甲联赛出场 30 次。他表示：“能回到巴黎圣日耳曼我感到非常荣幸。我迫不及待地想要开启这个新篇章。”

安德烈·桑托斯正力争填补卡塞米罗的中场空缺

安德烈准备好接替传奇球员的位置，迎来自己的成熟期

DIST

作者：泰隆·马歇尔 (TYRONE MARSHALL) 他们可能都是巴西人，且履历中都有曼联的经历。

但从表面上看，安德烈·桑托斯与卡塞米罗相比并没有太多共同点。

2022, 曼联斥资高达 £7000 万 签下了 30 岁的卡塞米罗。这位中场球员在皇家马德里度过了辉煌的时光，拥有极其耀眼的履历和五次欧冠冠军头衔。

桑托斯比卡塞米罗抵达老特拉福德时的年龄小 8 岁。他从切尔西加盟，此前他在切尔西难以获得一线队的出场机会。

尽管他代表巴西国家队出场 6 次，但今年夏天他未能入选世界杯大名单。

从四年前的卡塞米罗到现在的桑托斯，这表明了曼联转会策略的转变，而支付给切尔西的 5000 万英镑 用于引进这位 22 岁球员，被视为一项面向未来的良策。桑托斯的黄金年华还在后面，老特拉福德的招聘主管们非常看好他的数据和球探报告。虽然目前仅是季前赛，但他的表现已经证明了自己。

桑托斯在全部 4 场友谊赛中全部首发，并在周六的哥德堡再次引起关注，在与连续两届欧洲冠军巴黎圣日耳曼 1-1 战平的比赛中掌控了中场。

他自信能够成为替代卡塞米罗的人，他与尤纳·蒂莱曼斯一同加盟，是价值 8500 万英镑m 的中场重建计划的一部分。

桑托斯表示：“对我来说，卡塞米罗就像个传奇，你知道的。现在他离开了。我现在来到了这里，我觉得我可以像卡塞米罗上赛季那样表现，我就是为此而来的。”

“关于我的特点，我喜欢并倾向于在更深的位置踢球，像个 No.6. 因此，我尝试在有球和无球状态下帮助队友，我热爱撕破对方防线。”桑托斯希望担任 No.6 的愿望将令主教练迈克尔·卡里克感到欣慰。在切尔西时，他被认为是一个全能球员，但在卡里克的 4-2-3-1 阵型中，曼联需要能够坐镇深处的球员，尽管今年夏天的重点也转向了具备高水平技术能力的中场。

在切尔西，他很难获得机会，因为莫伊塞斯·凯塞多和恩佐·费尔南德斯是斯坦福桥明确的首选中场，但他很高兴能跳槽到老特拉福德。

“当曼联表现出兴趣时，我非常开心，”他说。“当我的经纪人给我打电话的那一刻，我告诉了我的妻子，她说，‘是的，我们必须去。’”

“当然，曼联如此伟大，我很高兴能来到这里，我想赢得每一场比赛和每一个可能的奖杯。我知道切尔西也是一家大俱乐部。但现在切尔西已成过去，这里是我现在的家。”

“我想在这里待很长时间，赢得很多奖杯。”

桑托斯加入了一支上赛季英超排名 3 的球队，但本赛季他们面临着重返欧冠的额外压力。

但卡里克（左）已将目标锁定在赢得冠军上，而这位身价 5000 万英镑 的新援同样渴望奖杯。

“当我谈到曼联时，我们谈论的就是胜利，”桑托斯说。

“我们必须每天努力工作，尝试赢得每一个可能的奖杯。”

“而作为个人，我有我的目标，我希望能够与队友们一起朝着目标努力，并希望赢得一些奖杯。”

拉什福德回归

来自后页

他完成了首秀，所以我们有共同的历史。本周我们在都柏林拥有完整的阵容。

“我们轻装飞往那里，整个团队将在一起共度几天，马库斯也是其中一员，”科比·马里诺和利桑德罗·马丁内斯说道。“我们期待见到他们。”

拉什福德仍然是曼联的最高薪球员，周薪超过 30 万英镑，除非欧洲顶级俱乐部给出合适的报价，否则他将留在老特拉福德。与此同时，红魔正与莱斯特城就路易斯·佩奇的交易进行谈判。

这位进攻型中场原本预计将在明天的狐狸城联赛杯比赛中发挥重要作用，但他也与阿森纳和阿斯顿维拉联系在一起。

曼联正处于中场大调整之中，他们希望在安德烈·桑托斯和尤纳·蒂莱曼斯这两名新援之外，再增加第三个选择。

FROM THE CHALLENGE OF THE EAGLE TOWN OF THE LADEN ROAD

WISS 名单 一个高效的季前赛正是约安·维萨所希望的

维萨在伤病困扰期后开启新篇章

作者：罗斯·格雷戈里和李·赖德 纽卡斯尔前锋约安·维萨坚称，在终于摆脱伤病问题后，他将带来更多表现。

维萨的痛苦始于上赛季截止日当天以 £5500 万 身价从布伦特福德加盟后的几天。

这名前锋在刚果民主共和国国家队效力期间膝盖受伤，直到 12 月才出场。

当他回归时，尽管在早期的几次出场中攻入了一两个球，但他的体能显得不足，在赛季剩余的大部分时间里，他无法产生任何实质性影响。

然而，在赛季最后几周出现了迹象，表明他开始找回部分状态，而正是这种状态说服了喜鹊队支付如此巨额的资金。

这种回升在今年夏天的刚果民主共和国世界杯期间得以延续，他在那里打入了三个进球。

现在他希望在周六对阵瓦伦西亚的超级替补表现（他在球队 2-1 获胜中攻入两球）之后，能继续吸引新任主教练马蒂亚斯·贾伊西的关注。

维萨说：“在经历了一个在身体和心理上都非常艰难的赛季后，世界杯——尤其是代表国家队出战——感觉很好。”

“所以现在是新教练，新的约安·维萨。这就是我的希望。”

“我将帮助球队在本赛季取得伟大的成就。”这位 29 岁球员自世界杯征程回归后的数据一直“爆表”，后勤团队和表现分析师对他目前的体能状态感到非常满意。

维萨本人承认，在一年前的受伤以及在离开“蜜蜂”（布伦特福德）加盟纽卡斯尔之前缺乏训练的情况下，这次季前赛对他至关重要。

他补充道：“首先，身体需要这个，你需要高强度奔跑并感到敏锐，同时还要与队友磨合并创造一些东西。”

“我上赛季没能做到这一点，而且当然，当你刚抵达就遭遇这样一次大伤，真的非常艰难。”

“但过去已成过去，所以我现在只期待这个赛季。希望正如我所说，我能成为球队的一部分，并尽我所能地帮助球队。”

在布鲁诺·吉马良斯以 7500 万英镑m 身价转会阿森纳后，25, 岁的后卫马利克·蒂亚夫在对阵西班牙瓦伦西亚的比赛中佩戴了队长袖标。

这位巴西人、安东尼·戈登、桑德罗·托纳利和基兰·特里格尔在这个夏天全部离开了圣詹姆斯公园球场。

蒂亚夫表示：“所有这些球员都是伟大的球员和伟大的领导者。”

“当然，我们会想念他们，但我们现在是一支伟大的球队。”

“球员们需要挺身而出。我们现在都有了新的角色，这对我们来说是一个很好的挑战。”

“我们拥有很多质量和潜力。这就是足球的运作方式，有时你必须翻开新篇章。我们仍然是一支优秀的球队，我们可以取得成就。”

“曼联如此伟大，我想在这里待很长时间并赢得许多奖杯”

那是英格兰的

独家报道

作者：汤姆·莱森斯（Tom Licence）教授

1066年10月14, 1066, 星期六上午9点，英格兰国王哈罗德二世准备好保卫他的国家，对抗诺曼入侵者威廉公爵。在这一天结束之前，哈罗德的军队已分崩离析——字面意义上的分崩离析。《拜约挂毯》的底边上散落着被砍断的肢体和头颅。

一位此前从未发起过海上入侵的外国公爵，集结了一支来自法国北部的军队，屠杀了北海世界中最强大王国的统治者。有人说，威廉亲手杀死了哈罗德。旧的英格兰就此终结。一个新的英格兰诞生了，随之而来的还有一个新的王室。

威廉原本打算渡海前往朴次茅斯，向北进军并夺取温彻斯特的国库。但英吉利海峡的风暴将他的舰队吹向东边，迫使他登陆佩文西，并在萨塞克斯海岸的黑斯廷斯扎营。

在那个时代，海岸线与现在截然不同。黑斯廷斯是一个半岛的顶端，有一道高地山脊，两侧是河流和沼泽地。威廉的部队能够突破并进入道路系统的出口点是一个叫作桑德莱克（Sandlake）的地方。如今，那里被称为巴特尔（Battle），战役修道院标志着这场战斗发生的位置。哈罗德·戈德温森在9月下旬身在约克郡，击退了挪威国王哈罗德·哈拉德拉及其背叛的兄弟托斯蒂格率领的维京人。他趁敌人分散且未着盔甲之机，在斯坦福桥战役中取得了惊人的胜利。

在9月25, 当天的战斗结束时，哈罗德·哈拉德拉和托斯蒂格成了战场上的血腥尸体。英格兰的胜利之王随后转向南方，“携带大量战利品”，可能是乘坐他夺取的船只前往伦敦。与此同时，9月28, 威廉在英格兰登陆，并很快在黑斯廷斯的悬崖顶上扎营。

哈罗德听到了这个消息，如果不是在北方听到，也是在抵达伦敦时听到的。在咨询了他的将领后，他制定了一项计划，将入侵者封锁在半岛内。

他派遣舰队沿海岸巡逻以防止威廉通过海路逃脱，随后率领军队骑行前往萨塞克斯，在桑德莱克以北就位。

部队在不断抵达并加入他的行列，响应号召，哈罗德希望有足够的郡能出兵，为他提供所需的人数。情报至关重要，两位指挥官都使用了间谍。威廉亲自侦察了地形。他得知了哈罗德派遣封锁自己舰队的船队，并挫败了哈罗德在战前一夜组织的夜袭。

根据一位作者的说法，诺曼人在警觉地守候并祈祷，而英格兰人则在饮酒狂欢。但哈罗德并非傻瓜。当14, 星期六黎明到来时，威廉知道自己很快会被包围。如果他留在营地等待援军——因为并非所有船只都已抵达——哈罗德的舰队将袭击他，而向国王旗帜集结的部队将持续增加。作为这片

在10月威廉 (征服者) 海上入侵 960 周年之际，哈罗德·戈德温森的传记作者为这场改变我们岛屿历史的血腥冲突提供了一篇惊心动魄的新述评。

被入侵土地的统治者，哈罗德——与威廉不同——拥有巨大的可召唤预备役。从现在起，哈罗德的地位只会越来越强。然而，在极短的一段时间窗内，他的部队仍在集结。

威廉必须在这个时间窗内出击。诺曼人在黎明时分（上午6点30分至7点之间）出击，沿着山脊向国王的军队推进，在第三小时交战前走完了这 6 英里路程。

英国作家在为英格兰的失败寻找借口时声称，哈罗德没有时间集结所有部队。尽管如此，哈罗德拥有地形优势，他占据了一座山丘的顶端，封锁了黑斯廷斯半岛的出口

道路，两侧是崎岖或沼泽地，且有森林提供掩护。

他拥有身着锁子甲、配备长矛、剑和斧头的高质量部队，以及少量的弓箭手和轻装部队。他采取防御姿态，为援军的抵达争取时间。尽管中世纪的军队规模较小，但哈罗德和威廉的军队规模应该比大多数军队都要大，至少在数千人规模，甚至可能更多。

威廉拥有更多样化的兵种——大量的弓箭手和弩手、骑兵以及步兵，但地形使他们处于不利地位。在面对侧翼被森林掩护的盾墙时，骑兵在崎岖的地面上向山上冲锋几乎毫无用处。接下来的几个小时里，公爵尝试了各种战术，试图突破英军防线并击败他的皇家对手；哈罗德就站在防线之后，举着他的“战斗之人”旗帜，旗帜上织有金色的武装战士图案。

起初，威廉将弓箭手部署在前方，命令弩手瞄准敌人的面部。英国人此前可能从未面对过弩箭，那些弩箭能穿透盾牌和盔甲，刺穿后方的身体。

接着，他部署了步兵和骑兵的主力部队，将布列塔尼人置于左翼，诺曼人置于中心，其他法国人则在

命运之日

给“箭矢理论”的一记重击！

挂毯上那个眼睛中插着一支箭的人，可能是英国历史上最著名的形象。但在 18 世纪对该挂毯进行绘图时，他被描绘成一个挥舞长矛的人。

1983 年，人们对挂毯的背面进行了检查。通过发现原始的针孔，证实了他手中的物体曾经更长且没有羽毛（羽毛是在 19 世纪添加的）。该男子的头部角度也被修改过。

关于哈罗德被箭射中头部或眼睛的故事在 11 世纪末之前就已经流传，但关于他死亡的最早记录——由亚眠的盖伊主教在 1067 年或 1068 年写就——描述了他如何被四名骑士砍杀，其中一人是盖伊主教的侄子。第一位，威廉公爵，用长矛刺穿了他的盾牌和锁甲，导致鲜血喷涌。

第二位砍下了他的头。第三位剖开了他的腹部，第四位则割掉了他的私处，并挥舞着战利品骑马离去。波蒂埃的威廉是一位在 1070 年代引用盖伊记录的诺曼作家，他对盖伊所说的话保持沉默，既未确认也未否认。

但他确实写道，哈罗德的尸体被毁容到无法辨认。

在战斗的血雾中接连不断的打击，让人想起 1485 年博斯沃思战役中理查三世死亡的记录——这些记录现在已通过在理查骨架上发现的大量伤口得到证实。至于哈罗德，他的遗骸最终被安置在沃尔瑟姆圣十字（现为埃塞克斯郡的沃尔瑟姆修道院），据推测，直到今天他们仍躺在某处。

他的右侧。他们顶住如雨般的投射物，与哈罗德的战线激烈交锋，对着一面由英国人组成的墙壁砍杀和刺戳，这些人排列得如此密集，以至于死者没有空间可以倒下。

经过艰苦战斗，布列塔尼人溃败逃跑，被哈罗德的右翼追击。

随后，诺曼人通过伪装第二次撤退，诱骗更多英国人进行追击。哈罗德的兄弟吉尔斯伯爵和利奥夫温伯爵在混战中丧生。

一位作家描述了威廉如何像狮子一样愤怒，将吉尔斯肢解。据称，公爵还通过在锁甲下方将另一名英国战士切开并使其内脏从腹股沟流出而将其杀死。威廉的人员

也在大量死亡。许多人在进攻哈罗德侧翼的一处沟壑中丧命。对于入侵者来说，每损失一个人代价都极其高昂，因此威廉决定改用箭矢库存。

在挂毯的边缘，一排弓箭手开始成形，上方场景中的盾牌和身体开始布满箭矢。英国人密集地聚集在狭窄的山坡上，成为了容易攻击的目标。在削弱对方之后，公爵抓住时机率领一支精锐骑兵

强行突破。随着入侵者涌入英国防线，山顶的皇家旗帜周围爆发了激烈的战斗。在后来的岁月里，该地点被夷平以给修道院教堂和主祭坛让路，标志着英国国王阵亡的地方。

这里的挂毯充满了动感，疾驰的骑士冲向英国旗帜，而持有长矛的家臣（国王的精锐军事随从）则誓死捍卫旗帜。他们逼近哈罗德的指挥中心，甚至连他不参与战斗的部长们也未能幸免。

哈罗德在那一天运气不佳。死亡同样可能降临在威廉身上。

在他身下的马匹被杀，甚至传出了他已死的消息。这是一场势均力敌的战斗。如果结果相反，哈罗德将被铭记为击退维京人和诺曼人的国王——英国最伟大的战士。然而，威廉获胜了，哈罗德被杀，他及其军队所奋斗的英格兰落入了外国入侵者之手。

超过100万名参观者将在下个月由埃马纽埃尔·马克龙和查尔斯国王在英国大英博物馆揭幕时，观赏拜约挂毯。这场被誉为“世纪展览”的活动，将给英国人提供一生中唯一一次在本土土壤上观看这部讲述国家大量历史的艺术作品的机会。每小时约300人将缓缓走过塞恩斯伯里展览馆，这部长70米的杰作被安装在其中，仅留有数厘米的余地。

大英博物馆馆长尼古拉斯·库利南承认：“这是一项巨大的责任，一项巨大的义务，我们感到非常幸运能够照顾它一年。”博物馆希望这次展览能像1972年吸引创纪录参观人数的图坦卡蒙展览一样受欢迎，而目前的迹象表明前景乐观。

需求之大，以至于一些参观者在网上排队数小时以获取提前入场券，场面让人想起格拉斯顿伯里音乐节。

第一批（至12月）门票在24小时内售罄。但博物馆有信心，所有想要参观这部挂毯（据认为是在坎特伯雷制作，极有可能是由英国修女制作）的人，在9月10日开幕后的305天展期内都应该能够看到它。而且，这次等待无疑将是值得的。

第一次尝试将挂毯带回英国发生在1953年，当时维多利亚与阿尔伯特博物馆请求借展以纪念伊丽莎白二世女王的加冕礼。双方拟定了协议，并计划在武装警卫的护送下通过南安普顿码头运输挂毯。然而，由于担心其脆弱的状态，该决定被撤销。

1966年，在黑斯廷斯战役900周年纪念之前，非正式谈判再次开始，但直到2018年，法国总统马克龙才原则上同意借展。这开启了长达数年的谈判——涉及四任英国首相——以及保护研究和挂毯展示设计，最终才达成协议。

马克龙还化解了国内反对借展的运动，而基尔·斯塔默政府则同意财政部提供赔偿担保，在发生灾难的情况下，最高赔偿金额可达£8 亿。

展览首席策展人迈克尔·刘易斯承认，他最早是在2013年与拜约挂毯科学委员会的法国同行提出将其运来的可能性的。

“他们看着我，就像在说：‘迈克尔，这是一个不错的主意，但这不可能实现，因为挂毯太脆弱了，’”他回忆道，“在那之后的很多年里，我像个坏掉的唱片一样，一遍又一遍地提出这个想法。”

尼古拉斯·库利南表示，这次最终达成协议是作为一次“正式文化交流”的一部分。作为回报，大英博物馆将向诺曼底的博物馆出借包括萨顿胡船葬文物和刘易斯国际象棋在内的珍宝。随后的行动必须被列为运输一件无价艺术品最复杂的行动之一。

由于拜约博物馆关闭装修，挂毯一直保存在诺曼底的一个秘密存储设施中。在通过公路运输过程中，直升机护航是法国安保行动的一部分。此前一项使用专列的计划因会引起不必要的关注而被否决，但仅物流费用就高达£120 万。

为了检查沿途是否存在有害震动，在挂毯近1,000年来首次离开法国之前，进行了两次试运行，沿途的

这是面对面的历史

作者：玛丽·比尔德女爵 (Dame Mary Beard)

30 多年前，我曾在法国参观了拜约挂毯。那简直是神奇的体验。坦白说，我当时并没有抱太大期望。

我以为自己在历史书中已经看过了所有精华部分（比如著名的哈罗德王眼睛被箭射中的场景），原件应该不会增加太多新认知。但我错了。

当你面对面地看到极古老的器物时，它们会以一种不同的方式与你对话。实物永远与你在书中所见的不同。

尺寸是一方面。这幅挂毯规模极其宏大，全长 70 米（大英博物馆为其打造的展柜是全球最大的博物馆展柜）。

想象一下那些女性（可能在坎特伯雷）日以继夜地刺绣所付出的时间和精力——或许她们是不情愿的，在记录一场英国被诺曼人击败的战役，而这份记录竟然存续了近一千年，且仍在延续。很难不感到与她们产生共鸣。

而且每一个场景都充满惊喜。边框上有精美的小人物和幻想生物，还有毫不掩饰的战争暴力场景（包括一个女人和孩子从两名面目可憎的诺曼人纵火焚烧的建筑中逃离的画面）。

即便是在现实生活中，哈罗德眼睛中插着箭的那个著名场景也更具冲击力。

（我应该说明，关于这个被箭射中的受害者是否真的是国王本人，学术界存在一些争议，但——无论专家如何决定——对我来说，他永远是哈罗德）。

当我说我对挂毯能够“回家”（哪怕只是为期一年的“假期”）而感到有些激动时，希望我没有显得过于感性。

当我看到大英博物馆将挂毯的一部分投影在多佛尔白崖上，并配以“MERCI”（谢谢）这个词时，我几乎落泪。

谢谢大家。

时光之针终于回到了家

关于将这件无价的刺绣作品归还英国的讨论始于 50 年代，但埃马纽埃尔·马克龙和四任英国首相花了八年时间才达成协议。马特·尼克森 (MAT'T NIXSON) 揭秘将拜约挂毯带回英国的行动过程。

挂毯于去年秋天被拆卸，在前往英国之前，大约

细节展示了黑斯廷斯战役的惨烈景象

用刺绣编织真相：关于拜约挂毯的五个趣味事实

1：它实际上并不是挂毯：尽管其名声显赫，但从技术上讲，它是一件刺绣作品，而非挂毯。挂毯是通过在织机上将彩色线直接织入织物中而成的，而拜约挂毯则是将彩色羊毛纱线手工缝制在八条拼接的平纹亚麻布上。 2：它包含了哈雷彗星最早的描绘之一：在其中一个场景中，一群人正惊叹地指向一颗拖着长尾的炽热之星——这就是 1066 年 4 月划过天空的哈雷彗星。画面显示哈罗德国王在王座上颤抖，因为当时人们普遍将这颗彗星解读为预示他将被击败的不祥之兆。 3：它是在英国而非法国制作的：虽然它以保存该作品的法国城镇命名，但大多数历史学家认为，它是受拜约的奥多主教（威廉 (征服者) 的同父异母兄弟）委托，由肯特郡的英国工匠刺绣而成的。 4：结尾部分缺失：这件刺绣作品全长约 70 米（230 英尺），但最后一幅面板在黑斯廷斯战役场景之后戛然而止。据估计，结尾部分缺失了两到三米——可能描绘的是威廉 (征服者) 在威斯敏斯特教堂举行战后胜利加冕礼的场景。 5：边缘充满了“彩蛋”：在主叙事线的上方和下方，装饰边框中填充了 600 多个动物、神话怪兽、《伊索寓言》中的场景，以及令人惊讶的淫秽人物（其中几个露出了阴茎）。在战斗场景的下边框中，工匠们还描绘了阵亡士兵、食腐者和被掠夺的盔甲。

被重新卷回展示柜中，控制内部湿度的“Miniclima”设备也重新连接。它将一直留在那里，直到明年 7 月 11 日展览结束。

参与策划此次展览的刺绣专家米莉·霍顿-因施（MILLIE Horton-Insch）表示，看到全长展出的挂毯将“令人们震撼”。此前，它在诺曼底的拜约博物馆原址是以马蹄形方式展出的。她补充道：“我认为这将展现出它的宏伟感。”

每个展览时段为 40 分钟，但据博物馆主席乔治·奥斯本（George Osborne）称，一些“巧妙的展览功能”将鼓励人们持续移动，并希望能防止拥堵。随着期待感的增强，毫无疑问，这次展览代表了年度——如果不是十年内——最受追捧的文化盛事。

348 英里的路线。据报道，这辆运载宝藏的匿名黄色货车在通过 Le Shuttle 跨越英吉利海峡之前，接受了非法移民搜查。宝藏被折叠在温控铝制箱中，随后放置在一个带有金属弹簧以吸收震动的外笼内，并由武装警员保护。

据组织者称，所幸从拜约到加莱，经隧道到达福克斯通（肯特郡警方在此接管安保工作），再到伦敦的旅程十分顺畅。

最终，挂毯于 7 月 10 日凌晨 2.48am 在两辆警车和法国大使的陪同下抵达位于伦敦市中心布卢姆斯伯里的大英博物馆，在世界媒体的注视下，车辆倒车进入博物馆后方的装卸区。

搬运人员用托盘推出一个金属箱，里面装有将其从法国运来的运输箱，随后让其适应环境一周。毕竟，自 1070 年代在坎特伯雷附近创作以来，它一直留在法国。

随后，在 27 个阶段的流程中，经过 18 个小时的艰苦工作，100 名法国和英国的策展人、修复师及博物馆工作人员将这幅 70 米长的挂毯取出。最多六个人协作移动防静电聚酯薄膜，覆盖并揭开这件包含 58 个场景、描绘了 626 个人物（其中仅 6 人为女性）的刺绣作品的各个片段。

该展柜由 25 个独立的模块组成——每个模块的重量与一辆家用两厢车相当——它们共同构成一个气密单元。在夹具、桁架、导轨和绞盘的帮助下，挂毯随后从横梁上解下并放置在展示板上。在抚平所有“腹部”（即布料上的凸起和皱褶）之后，“桌面”

英格兰与诺曼底在 1066 年之前就已存在联系

一些顶尖贵族家庭之间通过婚姻建立了关系。忏悔者爱德华曾邀请少数诺曼人定居英格兰，尤其是位于与威尔士接壤的Herefordshire边境地区。但在黑斯廷斯战役之后，威廉成为了英格兰国王，同时保留了诺曼底公爵的身份，因此他必须在管理新王国和监视其公国之间分配时间，而他的公国当时正面临着法国国王（技术上是他的上级领主）的压力。英格兰与诺曼底的共同所有权在 11 世纪余下的时间以及整个 12 世纪一直持续，但在 13 世纪初分崩离析，当时约翰王失去了对诺曼底的控制权，诺曼底被法国国王兼并为法国的一部分。

诺曼人如何改变了社会结构？

在一代人之内，英格兰的地主就被威廉的追随者所取代。这就是为什么他们的接管比之前的维京人更全面且更持久。如今的贵族很大程度上是诺曼地主的后裔，而非撒克逊人。在社会的底层，英格兰原住民继续繁衍生息，但在最顶层，所有这些人都在一代人之内发生了更替。而且不仅是世俗社会，教会也是如此，撒克逊主教被诺曼主教所取代。

是否存在反抗据点？

人们确实在继续战斗，这解释了为什么建造了许多诺曼城堡。在入侵后的三年左右时间里，发生了一些相当规模的反叛，威廉不得不于 1069 年北上处理这些问题。在途中，他在诺丁汉和沃里克等地建立了城堡；当他抵达反叛中心约克时，也在那里建立了一座。1068 年在西南部地区也发生了类似情况，当时爆发了一场以埃克塞特为中心的反叛，威廉对其进行了 18 天的围攻。所有的反叛最终都被镇压——有时手段极其暴力。

什么是“北方劫掠”（The Harrying of the North）？

这发生在威廉 1069 年至 1070 年间前往约克的军事远征之后——这是一系列针对英格兰王位最后一名威塞克斯继承人埃德加的战役，埃德加当时在鼓励盎格鲁-撒克逊人、盎格鲁-斯堪的纳维亚人和丹麦人的反叛。在今天，这将被称为种族清洗——焚毁定居点，强制迁移人口，并使数百平方英里的土地化为废墟。那是一个极其暴力的时代，但它最终平定了反叛。

英格兰发生了不可逆转的改变

在入侵后短短 20 年，英格兰就发生了变化。例如，我们有了城堡。此前虽然有防御工事，有为了抵御维京人而建造城墙的城镇，但现在我们有了具备真正防御能力和能够抵御围攻的周界防御的据点。这些土墩-内堡式城堡（motte-and-bailey castles）——本质上是一个高起的土丘（motte），顶部设有木制（后来改为石制）的主塔和封闭的庭院（bailey），周围环绕着保护沟或栅栏——正如其设计初衷那样，主宰了周围的景观。它们是诺曼权力的可见标志。

基督教兴盛

从 6 世纪末起，基督教就存在于英格兰的所有地区，但即使是大型的撒克逊教堂，与威廉开始建造的宏伟诺曼礼拜场所相比也显得相当狭小。例如在贝里圣埃德蒙兹（Bury St Edmunds），

Other than exarciscator the norm is let their man in

1066 年 10 月的一天改变了英格兰文化、语言和权力的轨迹。英国遗产委员会（English Heritage）的物业首席策展人杰里米·阿什比（JEREMY ASHBEE）揭示了黑斯廷斯战役如何永远改变了这个国家。

成为你自己的城堡之王（或女王）在

约克，克利福德塔

这座位于下方的约克地标由威廉于 1068 年建立，当时他率军北上镇压一场反对其统治的叛乱。这座土墩与贝利式城堡在早年经历了数起暴力事件，包括进一步的起义和丹麦入侵者的袭击。随着 1070 年代政治局势趋于稳定，受损部分得到了修复，这座城堡在 12 世纪的大部分时间里可能保持了相对原貌。13 世纪中期，随着与苏格兰的战争迫在眉睫，亨利三世用石头将其重建。该地近期已重新向游客开放——其屋顶平台可提供俯瞰约克市及其周边地区的惊人 360 度全景。

诺曼人 在萨克逊修道院的原址上建造了欧洲最大的教堂之一。如今许多宏伟的大教堂——包括达勒姆、诺里奇和彼得伯勒——基本上都是诺曼建筑。

他们改变了我们的礼拜方式

教堂通常由祭司管理

但诺曼人创建了由僧侣管理的新宗教社区，最初是本笃会，随后其他教团也相继加入。他们通常被授予从萨克逊所有者那里没收的大片地产。

地名也发生了变化

许多英国地名包含拉丁语引用，表示该土地

怀特岛，卡里斯布鲁克城堡

卡里斯布鲁克（见左图）最初是抵御维京人袭击的盎格鲁-萨克逊防御工事所在地，在征服后不久建成。1100 年，怀特岛成为一个强大的领主领地的一部分，由威廉之子亨利一世为支持者鲍德温·德·雷弗斯（Baldwin de Redvers）创建。这座巨大的城堡至今仍占据着山顶。游客可以攀登保存极其完好的诺曼主塔欣赏风景，在城墙上行走，还可以与这里的驴子接触，游览比阿特丽斯公主花园，并探索后来被囚禁于此的国王查理一世的故事。

穿越时空，造访这些非凡的诺曼防御工事的绝佳之旅

肯特，多佛城堡

威廉在黑斯廷斯战役后来到多佛以夺取港口。他将城镇夷为平地，并在前往伦敦加冕之前建立了一座防御工事。下方的这座城堡在 12 世纪末由威廉的曾孙亨利二世扩建。他创造了欧洲最先进的设计。他的工程师莫里斯（Maurice）建造了内贝利和塔楼、部分外

贝利以及一个巨大的中心部分——巨大的主塔，这是一座将防御功能与宫殿式住所相结合的复杂建筑。如今，多佛城堡是英国最顶级的景点之一，主塔与中世纪和第二次世界大战时期的隧道、拿破仑时期的驻军建筑以及一座罗马灯塔并存。定期的实景重演、鸣炮、巧妙的游乐场和绝佳的海岸景观，这一切都使其成为家庭出游的绝佳选择。

或 Belle 开头的地方可能具有法国起源。

诺曼统治下城市定居点的发展

当时已经有了城镇，但城市规模大幅增长，像诺里奇这样相对较新的地方发展迅速。诺曼人具有商业头脑，为贸易阶层带来了

活力与激情——极大地推动了商人经济。人们继续在英吉利海峡和北海两岸进行贸易。

最终，我们都成了英国人

到 1160 年代，已经很难分辨谁是英国人，谁是诺曼人了。

北约克郡，里士满城堡

里士满城堡（主图）是英格兰保存最完好的早期诺曼城堡范例。它极有可能由彭蒂耶夫尔的艾伦·鲁弗斯（Alan Rufus，绰号“红人”）伯爵于 1070 年代后期创建，他是威廉 (征服者) 的亲属，被认为在黑斯廷斯战役中指挥了诺曼军队中的布列塔尼分遣队。为了回报他的功劳，威廉授予他在北部的土地，随后里士满城堡随即建成，以巩固皇家控制并监视苏格兰边境，当时的边境线比现在更偏南。现存最早的建筑包括长段的石制幕墙、主塔底层的巨大拱门以及苏格兰大厅。没有其他英格兰城堡拥有如此之多现存的 11 世纪建筑，但这里也是家庭出游的绝佳去处——可以从主塔俯瞰美景，还有宁静的花园和互动展示。

威尔特郡，旧萨鲁姆

旧萨鲁姆（上图）在公元前 400 年左右最初是一座铁器时代的山堡，其潜力很快被威廉认可，他在诺曼征服后不久便在此建立了一座土墩。随后，他创建了一套内部防御工事，并由一个巨大的外部庭院保护。人们认为，旧萨鲁姆在道路网络中的位置使其在诺曼征服的早期阶段成为一个理想的军队基地，其外部庭院足以容纳大量部队。内部城堡成为了塔楼、大厅和公寓的综合体，而庭院的西北部分被选为新大教堂的选址。旧萨鲁姆的重要性持续增长，威尔特郡的治安官便驻扎于此。如今，这个宁静的地方拥有俯瞰索尔兹伯里的绝佳视野，与附近的巨石阵相结合，是极佳的一日游选择。

在语言方面，英语成为了自然语言，但这需要时间。

在整个中世纪的大部分时间里，法语是大多数大地主和君主的首选语言——理查二世几乎可以肯定地是第一位习惯于说英语的君主——但在普通社会中，英语得以保留。

在法律方面也存在延续性，诺曼人采用了现有的盎格鲁-撒克逊习惯法。在许多地方，情况与 1066. 年之前并没有太大不同。普通民众仍然受农业周期的约束，即使他们是在为另一组地主工作。

尤其是在中英格兰地区，大宅子里住的可能是不同的家庭，但仅此而已。生活照常进行。

Mayor: Dangerous if devolution cash goes to big regions

BY JONATHAN WALKER Whitehall Editor

ANDY Burnham has been warned that his plans for devolution may do more harm than good in some of the most deprived communities.

The warning is from Chris Cooke, Labour mayor of Middlesbrough. He leads a group representing 50 authorities in England's North, Midlands and south coast regions.

He urged the PM to consult council leaders about proposals to transfer power from Westminster.

Mr Burnham's ideas include handing regional mayors a share of income tax revenues for the first time. The focus has been on regional mayors and combined authorities – but smaller local councils say they must be included too.

Mr Cooke said giving power to a few regional mayors "doesn't feel like it's moved much closer to the people".

He claimed it would be "incredibly dangerous" if devolution meant that funds were cut from local councils, and added: "If you want to talk about how we can affect local communities in a much closer and more accurate way, then actually that's the role of local councils which are much better placed to understand areas."

Regional bodies were able to deliver

large infrastructure projects "but it can get much more difficult to understand what is needed at street level".

There is also concern that letting regions raise more funding via local income taxes or by retaining business rates may harm areas that have high levels of poverty or unemployment.

Many councils in the group chaired by Mr Cooke suffer with deprivation.

Urging ministers to include councils in discussions, he said: "This matters for our residents, this matters for our towns and our cities, and we want to be at the table – we want to be there."

Mr Burnham was the regional mayor of Greater Manchester for nine years

before he succeeded Sir Keir Starmer as the Prime Minister.

Local income tax would be unpopular with voters, a poll showed.

Ipsos found 46% oppose letting local authorities or regional mayors set personal income tax while 24% support that. More than half (53%) expect extra taxation if powers are devolved.

Rachel Brisley, Ipsos research director, said: "Local pride does not automatically translate into an appetite for personal fiscal devolution or further powers. The public draws a firm line between local decision-making and their pay cheques."

The government said: "We'll make sure funding stays fair for everyone."

Game of Thrones reigns supreme

DRAGONS! War, wooing, murder! Machiavellian mayhem! Welcome to Westeros and the events, 17 years earlier, that set in motion The Game of Thrones.

The lights dim, drums pound and horns blare. Revellers pour in. The noble houses have gathered for The Great Tourney at Harrenhal, but cruel, insane King Aerys sits on the Iron Throne, and sedition stirs.

The bombastic score rattles the rafters. Characters plot in the stalls, spy from the circle. Balconies unfold above, knights thunder in the jousts and later into battle atop metal-framed horse puppets.

Utterly immersive, visually spectacular.

Extraordinary

Like the books and TV shows, much is dialled to eleven, yet quieter moments shine through. In a seamless scene change, the gnarled trunk of the godswood's heart tree, carved with snarling faces, erupts from the floor while its red-leafed branches descend from above.

So many beloved characters are here. Cersei and Jaime Lannister, Varys, Ned Stark and Caitlyn.

Duncan Macmillan's adaptation for The Royal Shakespeare Company takes pains to explain. Some of the exposition clanks, but I understand the necessity. More

REVIEW

GAME OF THRONES:

THE MAD KING

STEFAN KYRIAZIS Royal Shakespeare Theatre Stratford, to Sept 5

★★★★☆

problematic is too many actors portentously declaiming everything with Shakespearean affectation, not helped by the jarring excess of ofts, betwixts and mayhapses, when author George RR Martin's success lies in making (fictional) history feel viscerally immediate.

In that, all the actresses dazzle, notably Elizabeth Ayodele's vivid Princess Elia and Mariah Gale's monstrous yet magnificent Queen Rhaella.

Michael Abubakar's nuanced Ned Stark builds in stature, like the man himself, to his electrifying final scenes.

Fans will relish Martin's trademark foreshadowing, but all can thrill to his gift for understanding human nature. The parallels to modern despots hit hard.

At almost four bum-numbing, unevenly paced hours, it needs a trim, and some of the costumes verge on fancy dress, but it's an extraordinary experience.

King's Landing location fixes over-tourism crisis

OFFICIALS have solved a spiralling over-tourism crisis in Dubrovnik, which was led by Game of Thrones fans.

The Croatian coastal city was the real-world filming location for King's Landing in the hit HBO series.

Experts have said the show directly brought more than 244,000 visitors to the city each year between 2012 and 2015.

Regional studies indicated that series-induced tourism generated £154million across the country through 2018 alone.

of Atonement, inset, or snap pictures of series hot spots Blackwater Bay and Fort Bokar. Dubrovnik was said to be Europe's most over-touristed city, with 27 visitors per one resident. It became a crisis in 2017, when Dubrovnik was put on global watchlists for over-tourism.

But local authorities launched a dramatic turnaround strategy, the Respect the City project. Developed in collaboration

with the University of Dubrovnik and aligned with Unesco recommendations, the city introduced digital monitoring tools and timed-entry systems to track visitor flows in real time, spreading tourists out through the day. Traffic and shipping regimes have also been adopted, while merchandise stores were blocked.

Dubrovnik's mayor Mato Frankovic said: "Luckily, everything is behind us. We put things in order, now everything is fine."

FAMILY'S ANGER OVER

FROM PAGE ONE

wheel". Waite stopped a mile away after he hit a lamppost.

Despite having a half-drunk bottle of vodka, he was given just eight years in prison for causing death by dangerous driving – and the judge ruled he would serve two thirds.

But Rosie, 31, and her family, of Cromer, Norfolk, have had the devastating news that Waite will be out in months under Labour's plans.

Mr Burnham had given a glimmer of hope to critics of the scheme by pausing it – but backtracked before he went on holiday, meaning early release will still free thousands of criminals including killers and domestic abusers.

Labour claims the move will help tackle jail overcrowding, but families and victims fear fresh anguish.

Rosie recalled the night the PM revealed the man who cut short her sister's life could soon be back on the streets: "I was full of rage...I thought it was going to take them longer to reach a decision and I was just so angry I couldn't sleep."

The dental nurse mum-of-three added of Waite: "He should not be released early, he's a danger to the public, there's nothing to say he won't do it again. He's a dangerous person and he's killed someone.

"He's only got a seven-year driving ban, and quite often the ban doesn't deter people from getting in their car anyway. The fact that he

Malcolm Waite hit Fenella and drove on

had no thought of life when he got into the car drunk and still didn't stop when he hit my sister shows he has no remorse for life.

"We appealed the sentence as unduly lenient, but we kept being told my sister's life didn't matter because it was a first offence and it was only a car he used.

"If he had shot her he would have got more, but because he was drunk behind the wheel of a car he got less. He shouldn't be getting early release [when] he has only served four years in prison for killing someone."

Rosie and her family appealed Waite's eight-year term in 2023 but judges said there was nothing wrong with the sentence.

She fears she "failed" Fenella as the government was "not listening". Rosie added: "Andy Burnham has made a decision knowing questions will be asked by victims' families, and he ran away on holiday so he doesn't have to answer them.

"Our summer holidays have been put on hold because I am campaigning to understand why this is happening to my family.

"My husband and I and the children don't have the luxury of being able to do what the PM did.

"I understand people have holidays, but this was very poorly timed; he's only been in the job for five minutes. It feels like he just put

'Waite is a danger to the public ...he killed someone and he shouldn't be released'

out the decision on Monday so he could get away on holiday."

The Prime Minister last month frantically paused then ordered a review of the early release plans after it emerged that two killers of hero PC Andrew Harper, dragged to his death by quad bike thieves in 2019, were potentially eligible.

But just before his break began Mr Burnham admitted that only inmates convicted of rape, grooming and serious child sex offences would not be eligible.

Killers, such as those jailed over the deaths of PC Harper and Fenella Hawes, could still be freed.

Rosie was told in a letter from the Probation Service that Waite was still eligible and he could be

out as early as October. She said: "They're not even giving us a date, it's a brief generic letter they obviously send to all of the victims.

"It's not personal to our case, it's just, 'This is what's happening' – and it's two days after I have heard the news on the media anyway.

Grief

"I don't think the government have looked at the timescale of how quickly they have put this on victims. Families find it really hard to adjust to quick changes.

"When you are going through the different stages of grief throughout the years and then you are told something suddenly, it

really brings it back." Rosie and her MP Steff Aquarone wrote to the Ministry of Justice for clarification on why Waite would be freed.

The family said they received a "generic response" that repeated what the Prime Minister had said.

Justice Secretary Alex Norris said on radio this week he would meet Rosie and her family.

Despite passing on her details, she has yet to hear from his office.

Rosie said she felt for all victims and families affected by the release plan: "I know our case is smaller in a way than

Rosie's MP Steff Aquarone

PC Harper's. I was so stunned that the two convicted over his death were still being let out.

"Death by dangerous driving is always a lower charge and seen as a lesser crime, which it is not; it still causes a death.

"If you get behind the wheel of a car, then that is a weapon that you could kill someone with.

"Add in being four and a half times drunk, and it definitely increases your chances of doing someone harm."

youngest daughter and find it hard to describe their pain.

Rosie said her dad wanted to ask Mr Burnham if he would feel jus- tice had been served after four years if someone had killed a rela- tive or friend of his.

Mr Aquarone, Lib Dem MP for North Norfolk, said Rosie's family had shown "extraordinary courage in speaking out, despite being forced to relive their grief by the prospect of her killer's early release". He added: "I cannot accept that someone who was four times over the drink-drive limit, killed a young woman and served just four years in prison can be con- sidered for early release.

"Ministers have failed to answer

the family's simple question: how can someone convicted of causing death by dangerous driving be eli- gible for this scheme – and how can a crime that took Fenella's life be treated as 'non-violent' for release purposes? The Justice Secretary has now promised to meet Rosie.

Insult

"I intend to make sure he keeps that promise."

Some 5,000 people are expected to be released early under sentenc- ing changes, down from 6,000 after the exclusions were announced.

Tory MP Nick Timothy said: "This is yet another example of the human cost of Labour's appalling

early release scheme. Rosie and her family suffered beyond words when Fenella was killed.

"Andy Burnham is refusing to say how many killers will be released early and will not confirm how he plans to stop releases start- ing on September 2. This is an insult to victims and to the public.

"Conservatives will keep fighting to make sure killers, paedophiles and sex offenders stay behind bars. Labour has 4,000 places they could use, and 10,000 foreigners are cur- rently occupying our prisons."

Fenella's family are not alone in their devastation.

Calvin Buckley's pregnant part- ner Frankie Jules-Hough was killed in a crash on the M66 by Adil Iqbal.

He filmed himself driving at 123mph before he hit the 38-year- old mum and ex-Hollyoaks actress.

Iqbal was jailed for 12 years after admitting causing death by danger- ous driving in 2023.

Mr Buckley told BBC Breakfast: "I understand there is a crisis, I agree that it needs to be addressed – but not at the expense of victims.

"Any offender of that category... there is no way they should be up for early release."

The Ministry of Justice said it was "building prison places at the fastest rate since the Victorian era, launching the biggest-ever expan- sion of tagging...and increasing support to victims".

Burnham is 'scrabbling' over U-turn

BY JONATHAN WALKER

ANDY Burnham has been accused of "scrabbling" to change his own plans after it emerged he is considering blocking PC Andrew Harper's killers from an early jail release.

The Prime Minister is prepared to "explore every option" to keep Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers in jail, a government source reportedly said.

But the government has previously resisted pressure to block the two killers from its early release scheme.

Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy said: "It is incredible that in his first act as PM, Andy Burnham decided to let paedophiles, domestic abusers and killers out of prison early. It is damning that he is now having to scrabble around to stop PC Harper's killers being released. He should have blocked that on day one in the job."

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "We have been clear that we wanted to go further and block more offenders from getting out sooner, but could not do so without risking prisons collapsing."

Farage: I'll create 22k jail spaces

BY JONATHAN WALKER

FOREIGN prisoners would be deported to serve sentences overseas, helping to end the overcrowding crisis, under plans by Reform UK.

Leader Nigel Farage and his home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf will today pledge to free up 10,000 jail spaces with the move. They also plan to build Nightingale prisons with space for 12,000 inmates within 18 months for British convicts.

Mr Farage said: "There are 10,800 foreign prisoners. You depart them, either back to their home country, or you find a third-party country that is prepared to have them.

"During Covid, they took an Army brigadier who was good at logistics, and within five or six days, he built the Nightingale hospitals, which could house thousands of people. They weren't needed, but the contingency was there. We could build Nightingale prisons. Reform will bring justice back to Britain, ensuring those who commit serious crimes like murder, rape and serious violence serve their full sentences."

Cash acceptance is falling

40,000 sign petition to force shops to take cash

BY JONATHAN WALKER

CAMPAIGNERS are urging the government to step in to ensure shops and vital services accept payments in cash.

A petition signed by more than 40,000 people warns millions risk being excluded as the use of websites and mobile phone apps for payments grows.

Dennis Reed, of campaign group Silver Voices, said older people were particularly likely to be affected.

He said: "From car parks to leisure facilities, to shops and stalls, we face notices saying 'no cash or cheques'. They may as well say no pensioners or low-income households – as that is the impact.

"Millions do not possess a smartphone, do not know how to download apps, or are not online at all, and are now being treated as second-class citizens."

Hostile

He called for laws to ensure businesses are forced to accept payment by cash or other non-digital means.

The petition is calling for a government strategy, warning: "With increasing threats to internet security and hostile foreign governments, it would be utter madness to have no healthy cash system to fall back on."

Petition organiser Alicia Coumbe, 67, from Devon, said: "Cash is meant to be legal tender. Shops should accept it."

The Financial Conduct Authority has introduced rules to ensure cash is available across the UK, such as through ATMs.

However there are no laws requiring retailers to accept cash.

An inquiry by the Commons Treasury Committee has also warned: "The government must act to manage the decline in cash acceptance."

'We will put an end to left-wing woke ideology enshrined in law that costs pensioners £50K'

CONSERVATIVES have vowed to stop woke ideology slashing the value of pensions and condemning people to a miserable retirement.

Experts reacted with fury after an investigation found environmental, social and governance practices "can cost the average pensioner over £50,000'.

Conservative shadow minister Mike Wood vowed: "We will put an end to this."

Left-wing ideology, enshrined in legislation, is encouraging pension fund managers to make politically correct investments rather than aiming for the highest return.

But this leaves workers who pay into a pension fund with a smaller pot of money when they retire.

The analysis, by the Centre for a Better Britain, also found policies adopted by major investors "systematically penalise the defence industry" by denying cash at "precisely the moment when the UK and its allies recognise the need for large-scale rearmament".

It follows warnings that millions of working-age people are heading for poverty in old age because their pension pots will not be large enough.

The Pensions Commission, an official inquiry set up by the government, has said that 15 million working-age people are not contributing enough to enjoy a reasonable

standard of living in retirement. Mr Wood said: "ESG rules are costing hard-pressed pensioners tens of thousands of pounds.

"Good investments that secure pensioners' futures should not be off-limits because they do not fit with lefty ideology.

"The Conservatives will scrap ESG reporting, relieving the burden on businesses and clearing the way for a focus on growth that delivers for pensioners and the rest of the country."

Poorer

The Centre for a Better Britain report found ESG policies stop fund managers investing in "sin stocks" such as "traditional oil and gas companies and "tobacco, alcohol and gambling firms".

It means a 45-to 54-year-old with a private pension pot of £80,000 could be worse off by more than £50,000 over 25 years.

Daniel Herring, head of economic policy at the Centre for Policy Studies, said pensioners were poorer as a result.

He added: "Brits are saving on the assumption that pension funds are free to manage

WHEN we pay our taxes, we want to see the best possible value for our hard-earned money.

Whether it's the health service, our roads, or the Civil Service we all pay for, it's vital that resources are used efficiently and fairly.

But Andy Burnham is undermining all that with ideological new rules for all companies that want to win government contracts.

Thanks to Labour, these companies face being forced to dance to the trade unions' tune.

Companies bidding for government contracts may be favoured if they provide trades unions with access to their staff, give preference to particular "communities" for jobs, and offer staff flexible working, which could lead to more working from home and more four-day weeks.

All of them will now face higher costs, and those costs will be passed on to the taxpayer, likely meaning tax rises down the line.

Meanwhile, woke ESG targets are reportedly costing hard-pressed pensioners tens of thousands of pounds by placing good investments off limits because they don't align with lefty ideology. Politics is being prioritised over

practicality. This problem extends across the business sphere. Right now, British businesses have to declare how they are meeting ESG goals - yet another unnecessary burden on their resources.

The Conservatives will scrap this ESG reporting to ease the pressure on businesses and clear the way for a focus on growth.

Value

That is what will deliver the best results for pensioners and the rest of the country.

At a time when families are hard-pressed, and the national finances are in a grim state, we should be focusing on what delivers the best value for money. The Conservatives are the only party with a plan to do that.

Tories have vowed to axe the legislation. But Labour is encouraging the use of ESG policies and has given the Financial Conduct Authority, powers to regulate them.

The Department for Work and Pensions said the report relied on "outdated" claims.

It said: "Trustees have fiduciary duties to act in members' best interests based on their own assessment of what will deliver strong returns. We're working with industry and regulators to clarify how those duties apply in practice and support confident

investment decisions. In addition, our new value-for-money framework, part of the biggest pension reforms in a generation, will let savers compare their scheme against the best in market for the first time, tackling a performance gap that currently leaves an average member £5,000 worse off over five years."

But Fred de Fossard, of think tank The Prosperity Institute, said successive governments have "suffocated Britain's financial services with regulations, mandates and taxes". He added: "All of these have a cost, and they are ultimately paid by all of us

with smaller pension pots and worse performing ISAs."

Former pensions minister Baroness Altmann said screening companies on ESG grounds can "significantly impair long-term returns".

Conservatives have also hit out at new government rules requiring firms bidding for government contracts to show they are providing "social value", which can include giving staff time off for trade union duties and offering flexible working.

Dani Dyer had lessons as child

Show's stars have dance and stage experience

BY EVE WAGSTAFF

STRICTLY has been defended after it emerged several stars in this year's cast have previously danced or been on the stage.

Figures suggest 60% of the latest 15-strong cast for the BBC show have previously danced, attended stage school, studied performing arts or taken part in stage productions.

But an insider said: "There is no rule that celebrities cannot have dance experience before taking part. And it'd be near impossible to find a cast of celebrities who have no previous dance experience as many people in the entertainment industry go to stage school."

The final three stars expected to be named in this autumn's line-up are football YouTuber John Nellis, Gavin & Stacey actress Melanie Walters (Gwen) and Winter Olympics gold medallist Tabby Stoecker.

Those with dance experience include Dani Dyer, who went to O'Farrell's Stage School in east London for 12 years as a child.

Fellow Love Island winner Cach Mercer says he is a "professional dancer from east London", while EastEnders favourite Lacey Turner attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School as a girl.

Australian singer Delta Goodrem had dancing lessons as a child, too. Actress Jaime Winstone studied for a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts at Harlow College in Essex.

House of the Dragon actress Bethany Antonia attended Birmingham's BOA Creative, Digital and Performing Arts Academy.

Emmerdale's Lawrence Robb, who studied at the Dance School of Scotland, is the latest confirmed for the show.

EXCLUSIVE

BY GILES SHELDRICK Chief Reporter

JK Rowling has promised to bankroll lawsuits to protect women's sex-based rights in the wake of widespread opposition to a landmark legal ruling.

The Harry Potter author's fund provides a war chest to individuals and organisations fighting ideology that threatens protected single-sex spaces.

It comes as the NHS was warned that attempts by the public sector to bypass single sex clarity will lead to legal battles costing taxpayers millions.

There are fears that the absence of clear workplace guidance will engulf hospitals in chaos and confusion as trusts ignore the concerns of staff and patients.

The author and campaigner, 61, urged any female patient or member of staff who requires funding to apply.

Ms Rowling said: "The decision of the Supreme Court in For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers clarified that the term 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 refers, and has always referred, to biological sex.

"Despite this judgment, many organisations are still failing in their duty to guarantee single-sex spaces for women and girls.

"For that reason, the fund is currently prioritising cases which will help ensure that the ruling has a practical effect in women's and girls' day-to-day lives."

Her intervention comes as opposition grows against the Equality and Human Rights Commission's updated code of practice. It was forced to undertake a major update of the existing code - first published in 2011 - to reflect the definition of sex in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling.

The judgment issued on April 16 last year provided an unequivocal answer to the definition of sex in law, stating that biological sex is irrefutable in terms of the Equality Act, which provides legal workplace protection.

Harm

The code, which covers England, Scotland and Wales, confirms a service must be used on the basis of biological sex in order for it to be classed as single sex.

But instead of providing clarity, it has caused chaos and division, with a number of left-wing London councils and NHS trusts vowing to resist because it is "harmful to the rights of trans people".

The fund backs those who have lost their livelihoods, earnings, suffered harm, or been discriminated against because of their expressed beliefs on biological sex being unchangeable.

It is there for those who are being forced to comply with unlawful policies, practices or guidance which undermine protected single-sex spaces, and are actively challenging policies, practices or guidance which take away the freedoms, protections or safeguards that women and girls are entitled to under the Equality Act 2010 and other legislation, it was said.

Ms Rowling added: "The thing is, neither the men who erroneously believe that they're women, nor the men who get a sexual thrill from dressing as women, are, in fact, women. They're all men. Their motives are irrelevant.

"Men aren't entitled to women's hard-earned rights."

Supporters of the Supreme Court's decision, which include those campaigning for women's safety, said resistance to properly policing entry to public spaces demonstrates what many have long suspected, that the public sector has been captured by a deeply damaging ideology.

They said abandoning legal duties would leave them open to legal

challenges, with the costs picked up by taxpayers.

The new code is not legally binding but provides guidance about how to comply with existing law following the Supreme Court judgment.

There has been a series of highly damaging court battles, all of which have left the NHS humiliated.

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust allowed a biological male nurse to use single-sex facilities in accordance with its transitioning in the workplace policy. But in January, an employment tribunal found seven female colleagues were victims of unlawful discrimination.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS PLEDGE

COMMENT

ANDREA WILLIAMS

Chief Executive of the Christian Legal Centre

IT is astonishing that the public sector – including a number of councils – is openly declaring it will disregard guidance which reflects settled law following the Supreme Court's landmark ruling on the meaning of sex in the Equality Act.

Public authorities do not have the luxury of choosing which laws to obey and which to ignore because of political or ideological disagreement.

By signalling that they will continue to operate policies contrary to the legal position, these councils are leaving themselves wide open to legal challenge and exposing taxpayers to potentially significant costs.

What this reveals is how deeply ideological capture has taken hold within parts of the public sector.

Undermined

Rather than ensuring women and girls can access the single-sex services and protections guaranteed to them by law, some council leaders appear more interested in making political statements and resisting democratic institutions, including the courts.

The Supreme Court has provided much-needed legal clarity, and the EHRC's guidance has been produced to help organisations comply with that ruling.

Attempts to undermine or circumvent that clarity will only create confusion, uncertainty and conflict for service providers, staff and the public.

The government must now make it unequivocally clear that public bodies are expected to comply with the law, not selectively reinterpret it. If the public sector is permitted to ignore legal obligations for ideological reasons, confidence in the rule of law is seriously undermined.

Urgent intervention and robust enforcement are needed to ensure that the rights, safety and dignity of women are properly protected and that public authorities are held accountable to the law.

war chest to fund legal over single-sex spaces

fight, said: "Too many employers adopted policies that treated contested ideas about 'gender' as though they were settled law. Women who questioned those policies were too often portrayed as the problem, rather than listened to as employees raising legitimate concerns.

"The EHRC's updated code of practice brings welcome clarity for services, public functions and associations. But it does not cover employment. So, where is the equivalent guidance for workplaces?

"The absence of an updated employment code is not permission for employers to ignore the Equality Act, workplace regulations or court judgments.

"Nor can institutions continue applying policies that may be based on an incorrect

understanding of sex while waiting indefinitely for someone else to act."

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust is liable for as much as £1.25million, including legal costs, as a result of its doomed battle against seven of 26 women who put their names to a letter in March 2024, objecting to a man using their safe space.

Mockery

Fellow NHS nurse Jennifer Melle, who was suspended after "misgendering" a paedophile patient, was reinstated after Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust was forced into a humiliating climbdown in the face of rising public anger.

The trust used taxpayers' money to settle the dispute out of court.

Under the EHRC guidance, providers will be allowed to exclude trans people from single-sex spaces if they decide others could object to their presence.

It means men identifying as women have no right to be in a female-only space, like leisure centre changing rooms – but workplaces remain immune.

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch described the public sector's obsession with "radical gender ideology" as making a mockery of the law and said: "The government must act to end these absurd witch hunts."

For Women Scotland co-directors Susan Smith and Marion Calder were famously

pictured celebrating outside the Supreme Court in London last year after the landmark legal fight.

An NHS spokesman said: "The NHS will publish approved new guidance for the health service on single-sex accommodation shortly, in line with other public sector bodies. In the meantime, hospitals should be acting within the principles set out in the EHRC code to ensure all patients are cared for with dignity and respect."

A government spokesman added: "Everyone should follow the law.

"The code gives service providers the clear, workable guidance they need, and if organisations are still unclear, they should get specialist legal advice."

The heat goes on...

SUN lovers blazed a trail to the great outdoors yesterday, with the fifth heatwave of the year on the horizon.

Coastal waters and rivers lured many from their drought-ridden landscapes, while parks also filled up.

Hundreds of people took to paddleboards, kayaks and canoes on the River Stour in Christchurch for Dorset Dinghy Day.

Yet another weather record fell as temperatures peaked at 30.6C in Frittenden, Kent, taking the total number of days hitting 30C this year to 35 – beating 34 days in 1995.

The new record is set to be topped again this week with 36C forecast in East Anglia and south-east England on Thursday. The

BY JAN DISLEY

Met Office's Tom Morgan said: "Another spell of exceptionally hot weather is on the way – particularly for England and Wales.

"By Wednesday and Thursday, we're likely to see temperatures into the mid-30s."

Yellow heat health alerts have been issued for most of England until tomorrow night, warning health and social care services of increased demand and a heightened danger for vulnerable people.

Vineyards are thriving in the Mediterranean conditions but the lack of rain is dire for farmers and their crops, wildlife and gardeners, while wildfires are a

growing peril. They include a grass fire contained by fire crews in Hayes, west London, over the weekend. The first heatwave of the year in May was followed by another in June which brought the highest temperature of the year – 38C at Lingwood in Norfolk.

Respite

July delivered more records – the sunniest and driest on record. It also brought two more heatwaves, while 19 English counties had 1mm or less of rain. Reservoir stores are now at 69% capacity, five are classed as exceptionally low. Wimbleball in the heart of Exmoor, Somerset, is among them at less

than 50% of its maximum. Seven areas of England are already in drought and the Environment Agency expects changes elsewhere this week. More than 25 million people have hosepipe bans, while low water levels in canals have led to traffic restrictions.

There could be some respite on the way. August is typically the wettest of the UK's summer months, and there are signs the last two weeks could become unsettled.

But to solve the current crisis, experts suggest we will need many weeks' worth of above-average rainfall.

Meanwhile, north-west Scotland had 10cm of rain over the weekend – more than half its average for the month.

Burnham must listen to crime victims' families

ANDY Burnham made great capital out of being a leader who listens and he promised to stay close to the people after seizing power last month. It is time for our new Prime Minister to show if he was really serious when he uttered those words.

Mr Burnham should start with the anguished pleas of Rosie Shepherd, whose sister Fenella Hawes was mown down aged 20 while carrying a gift of sunflowers for her mother.

The driver, 72-year-old Malcolm Waite, was described by police as the 'drunkest ever seen behind the wheel'.

He is now among the thousands of criminals set to be let out of jail early as part of the government's response to the prisons crisis.

Rosie told how she was so full of rage she could not sleep the night the decision was announced. Unsurprisingly, the mother of three is campaigning to stop her sister's killer being let out after serving just half of his eight-year sentence.

Rosie hit out at Mr Burnham for 'running away on holiday' instead of facing up to questions about the impact of his decisions.

The first 100 days of a new government is the point when it sets the tone and pace for the changes ahead.

Mr Burnham must make sure his premiership is not defined by dangerous criminals being let on to the streets because he was on a sun lounges when the crisis was unfolding.

JK writes new chapter

MILLIONS will be familiar with JK Rowling for her works of fiction. But the Harry Potter author and women's rights activist has assumed a new mantle: speaking the truth and to hell with the consequences.

The denial of irrefutable scientific fact – like, for example, men cannot give birth and women cannot possess a penis – not only continues to be denied by many working in our publicly funded institutions but encouraged. And it should concern us all.

So when so many with a platform hide behind a wall of silence we should be grateful to JK for consistently calling out this nonsense.

And not only that, for putting her money where her mouth is to protect those harmed most by this radical ideology.

The JK Rowling Women's Fund has pledged to provide legal funding to those fighting to retain women's and girls' sex-based rights in all aspects of life having, in many cases, been abandoned by the very organisations that should be protecting them.

JK could have ridden off into the sunset with her many millions never to be seen or heard of again. Instead she is championing dignity, privacy, and common sense.

Andy's an inspiration

ANDY Prigg encapsulates the very best of Britain. His life was saved by a double kidney and liver transplant at the age of 21 – and now he plans to become a transplant surgeon.

The medical student says his chosen specialism would enable him to give a gift that can 'completely change someone's life overnight'. His inspirational dedication will ensure the circle of life continues.

Rip-Off Britain sees 'cash cow' drivers and reps planet

BRITAIN'S motorists are being fleeced at every given opportunity with the latest scandal being ever-increasing charges levied on those who are dropping off family or friends at the airport.

We are not talking about paying a charge for parking your car and saying a long and lingering goodbye in an overpriced airport coffee shop – I am referring to the fee you must pay for just stopping your car, decanting its occupants and luggage and saying bon voyage.

Rip-off Britain has reached a new level when you look at some of the fees involved.

Research by moneysavingxpert.com reveals that London's Gatwick Airport charges £1 a minute as its drop-off fee – that is a tasty tanner for 10 minutes at an airport that only last month could not offer customers and visitors flushing loos or running water due to their faulty water system.

But Gatwick is far from being the only culprit. Some 25 out of 29 of the UK's biggest airports now charge a fee on those of us who are just pulling in to drop off – it is both outrageous and outside of the limits of reasonable behaviour.

London City Airport will sting you with a £13 charge for a maximum 10-minute drop-off, Leeds Bradford and Norwich airports will charge you £8, Aberdeen, Southampton, Luton, Glasgow, Heathrow, and Birmingham will take £7 off you while Newcastle and Liverpool will charge £6.

HATS off to airport management on the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey and in Newquay that allow dropping for free – they clearly believe it is counterproductive to treat customers in such a greedy way.

We should not be surprised about this latest scam as hitting drivers with unreasonable charges has been going on for decades and looks set to get

worse. Authorities are considering everything to get more cash including pay per mile road charging or charging someone to park outside their home (a recent pernicious suggestion floated by the Green Party).

Local councillors and MPs often talk about the importance of 'saving the high street' as independent businesses depart and shops close due to the lack of footfall.

Talk to local traders and they will tell you that one of their biggest frustrations are nearby parking charges that deter people making the trip into town using their car.

Where I hang my hat in Chichester, West Sussex, if you fancied visiting to shop, eating lunch and maybe visiting one of the local galleries or museums then it will cost you £12.30 to park in a central short stay car park for up to five hours – is it any wonder that people decide to visit out-of-town retail com-

plexes instead where parking is free and they are not penalised for just wanting to support the local economy.

Not content with raking it in from local shoppers during the day, the council-run car park next to the internationally acclaimed Chichester Festival Theatre charges up until 8pm (apart from Sundays) which is a move clearly designed to make a few quid out of evening theatregoers.

The next time local politicians across the country start banging on about how we should do more to support our local high streets or venues, they should look in their own backyards and realise how excessive parking charges are a major turn-off for people.

Airports and towns aside, the worst form of making cash out of the motorist comes from charging visitors to park at their local hospital. This vile tax on ill health is often defended by

local health authorities that say any money made is reinvested in the hospital and the services it provides, but that seems like a convenient fudge.

ATWO-HOUR visit to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton will cost £8.40, while Wey Valley NHS Trust will take £5.80 off you for parking up at Hereford County Hospital to visit a relative or loved one for a couple of hours.

Over the run of several days this clearly mounts up, which is the last thing anyone deserves at a time when they are visiting someone who is seriously ill.

There are even some hospitals that have the audacity to charge their own staff for using the hospital car park which cannot do much when it comes to making them feel valued.

It is scandalous that drivers in the UK are being treated in this way – airport dropping-off charges, excessive local parking fees and hospital car parking charges all show that the motorist has become a cash cow in every corner of the country and if this government is serious about creating 'growth in every postcode and hope in every heart' then it must act.

THIS IS HOW I SEE IT

Arday's exit leaves so many questions

THE furore surrounding former Cambridge professor Jason Arday has raised some important questions – but perhaps not the ones many people are asking. Arday came under increasing scrutiny after a string of claims he made over the years were challenged.

Among them are boasts that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days and covered 300 miles in three days for charity. If those stories turn out to be exaggerated, then so be it.

They might make for colourful speeches but they have absolutely nothing to do with whether he deserved his position at one of the world's most prestigious universities. What concerns me more is what happened to the journalists trying to investigate him.

A journalistic colleague found Scotland Yard knocking on his door after asking perfectly legitimate questions about allegations of plagiarism involving Professor Arday.

Jack Grove, a reporter at Times Higher Education, was accused of harassment after sending a series of emails seeking clarification about Arday's academic record.

According to Grove, police told him to stop contacting the professor because the questions were affecting Arday's mental health. On top of that, Arday instructed the law firm Carter-Ruck, which suggested that Times Higher Education's investigation may have been racially motivated.

I've no idea whether Professor Arday plagiarised anyone's work or not. But I do know that we journalists must be free to ask difficult questions without fearing a visit from the police simply because the subject of their investigation finds those questions uncomfortable.

As for the rest of the allegations? Well, I'm struggling to summon much outrage about them because it's behaviour I've seen a thousand times. Human beings exaggerate. We polish our CVs, we make old jobs sound more important than they really were and we embellish our responsibilities. We tell stories that become a little more dramatic every time they're repeated. It isn't admirable, but it's undeniably common.

Take Rachel from Accounts, aka Rachel Reeves. She described herself as an economist during her time at Halifax Bank of Scotland, despite former colleagues disputing that characterisation and saying her work was primarily in retail banking, customer relations, planning and complaints.

Yet she still became Chancellor of the

Personality... not perfection

HOLLY Willoughby's YouTube show hasn't exactly hit the ground running. As a YouTuber myself, I think I know why. Success on that platform isn't about glossy production or polished presenting – it's about authenticity.

Viewers want personality, not perfection and this show is just bland. It's like eating fish and chips from a Michelin-star restaurant and you're not allowed to add salt and vinegar.

After the first two episodes, all I saw was Holly presenting very similar segments to This Morning. It feels more like daytime TV uploaded to YouTube than content made for the platform. There's nothing wrong with that, but it isn't fresh, edgy or original, and the low viewing figures prove it.

Exchequer – and by the way was put under the spotlight by journalists in the same way Arday was, despite not being Black.

Then there's sleepy Joe Biden, who has repeatedly been criticised for embellishing stories about his academic record and aspects of his personal history.

Or Nigel Farage, whose explanations surrounding a multi-million-pound donation have shifted over time, prompting plenty of debate about exactly what the money was for.

None of these examples excuse exaggeration or dishonesty. Public figures should be held to

high standards, and if someone has genuinely lied about qualifications or deliberately deceived employers, that is a serious matter.

But we also need a sense of proportion. If Jason Arday obtained his Cambridge post because of legitimate academic achievements, published research and genuine qualifications, then inflated charity efforts or wild personal stories are hardly the scandal of the century.

If, however, there's evidence that his academic credentials themselves were misrepresented, then that deserves proper scrutiny. Now he's stepped down I guess we'll never know.

BATTLE OF THE EGOS STANDS IN THE WAY OF A UNITED RIGHT

AFTER months of public spots, Rupert Lowe has done the unthinkable by offering to work with Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Could we finally see a united Right? I doubt it.

I think Restore Britain's Lowe deserves some credit for extending the olive branch. If you're serious about changing the country, trying to bring like-minded people together is no bad

thing, but the problem is there are two enormous obstacles standing in the way – Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage.

Both are formidable political operators, but both also have egos the size of the Palace of Westminster. Neither man is likely to back down or accept the other's terms. The fact Lowe leaked private text messages just hours after

reaching out to Farage tells you what you need to know about the level of trust between them.

Farage isn't going to purge former Bury ministers from Reform, just as Lowe isn't likely to soften his demands on remigration.

I suspect this latest episode will only deepen the divide, with supporters on both sides blaming the other for the failed attempt.

DID you hear the one about the Black Conservative leader defending a former white supremacist? It's not one of my bad dad jokes – it's actually British politics in 2026.

Kemi Badenoch has come to the defence of Joshua Bonehill-Paine, the former neo-Nazi who had been selected to stand for election in Somerset next May. Unsurprisingly, the decision sparked enough outrage for him to step down from running.

Bonehill-Paine's past is abhorrent, though. In 2016 he was jailed for racially aggravated harassment of Labour peer Luciana Berger, who is Jewish. He had also previously been imprisoned after producing an advert for a neo-Nazi rally featuring Auschwitz alongside the sickening slogan, 'an absolute gas'. What a charmer.

But he's served his time in jail, so if we genuinely believe in our justice system, what is prison actually for? Bonehill-Paine has apologised, admitted he has 'no excuses' for his past behaviour and says he has dedicated himself to challenging antisemitism. Whether you believe him is another matter entirely. Personally, I wouldn't have voted for him.

However, I do agree with Kemi on one point – rehabilitation has to mean something. If someone serves their sentence, accepts responsibility and genuinely changes, there has to be a path back into society. Otherwise we're admitting prison isn't about rehabilitation at all – it's simply lifelong punishment.

That doesn't mean trust should be automatic. But if we say people can never redeem themselves, then we undermine one of the fundamental principles our justice system is supposed to uphold.

LAST week marked a year since we lost James Whale. Calling him a broadcasting legend doesn't quite do him justice – he was one of British media's true greats. I first worked with James at TalkTV and, if I'm honest, he was a little spiky at first.

But by our third meeting he was warm, funny and incredibly generous with advice. He told me to slow down when I'm on air because sometimes I speak too quickly. He encouraged me to keep smiling and laughing because audiences can hear it in your voice.

After James passed away, I inherited this very column from him. It was a daunting privilege, and I hope I bring even a fraction of the honesty, warmth and entertainment that he gave you every week.

DEFENDING THE NATION

The British Army is facing questions

THE British military continues to shoot itself in the foot by failing to get a grip of alleged illegal behaviour within the ranks. Is it any wonder it has a recruitment problem, writes Conor Wilson?

It hurts me as somebody who was made in the British Army and left with nothing but positive memories of service to once more see horrifying accounts of abuse coming out of it. Reports in the BBC last week about alleged rape, sexual abuse and misogyny at the Army Foundation College Harrogate were shocking but did not shock me.

I had first heard rumours about the college, which trains 16 and 17-year- olds, when I was a Troop Commander at an Army Training Centre for those aged 17 and above. For more than a year, I reached out to more than 100 former sol- diers who went through the col- lege as teenagers. Some had nothing but positive mem- ories of their time there but others had stories similar to those reported by the BBC.

Understandably, those who told me about alleged abuse were unwilling to speak on the record – they had moved on with their lives and put their experiences in the past, where they wanted, or needed them to stay.

Such were my concerns that I brought them to the attention of a Labour defence minister at an event in June 2025 who promised to follow them up.

The point I am making is that con- cerns about the alleged treatment of recruits at the college by fellow recruits and a small portion of staff were well known. The four accounts already reported could be just the tip of the iceberg. I know for a fact that they are not the only ones. Most

OH, Donald. Did you really not understand that missile supplies are not infinite, even for the most powerful military in the world? Are you really that inept?

Reports emerged this week of the US president dressing down Mr Macho Pete Hegseth after apparently being left blindsided about the dwindling supplies of US missiles.

It would seem that Trump's bluster about cancelling a huge offensive operation against Iran last week was more to do with a lack of bombs than yet another set of so-called "peace talks".

Who would have thought that blasting through more than 2,000 long-range missiles that take two years to build would leave the United States short? Evidently not Donald.

This incompetence has far-reaching consequences. It leaves Ukraine short of the Western-supplied missiles it relies on to strike inside Russia and leaves the world's pre- eminent superpower unable to pivot to other theatres should the threat arise...

shockingly, the reports of rape and abuse are within the last five years.

They have occurred at a time when the British Army has worked hard to improve the culture of the force and the behaviour of those who served. But here we are.

The Army has said it "cnoun- ages anyone who has experienced or witnessed unaccep- table or criminal behaviour at the Army Foundation College to come forward".

It pains me to say this but in its current guise, I am not sure I would be comfortable with my daughter joining the Army.

As the military continues to suf- fer a recruitment crisis, I am sure many parents and potential joiners are thinking the same thing.

TV host and writer Sirieix

Fred dead set on new career as an author

BY SHELLEY SPADONI

FIRST Dates star Fred Sirieix is planning to add “author of cosy crime novels” to his CV.

The charismatic Frenchman, 54, said: “I’m not sure I’m even allowed to tell you this, but I’m working on a cosy crime book series.

“They’re going to be set in restaurants, with a French inspector as the main character.”

Fred said he got the idea from his daughter Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, a diver who won Olympic bronze for Team GB at Paris 2024.

The maître d’and TV presenter added: “I ran with it to the publisher and they loved it. The first novel will be set in London.

Gripping

“You have to be careful with cosy crime, you know? There are certain rules you have to follow. It has to be gripping, but it can never get too dark. But I’m really enjoying it, I have to say.”

Writing books is not Fred’s only new project.

At the end of the month, viewers will see him in new four-part Channel 4 show Fred’s Ultimate Hotels, in which he visits four of the world’s top hotels.

They are the Royal Mansour in Marrakech, Royal Madikwe safari lodge in South Africa, Singapore’s Raffles Hotel and Les Barres de l’Ours in the French Alps.

He is also planning a show for French TV in which he rescues failing restaurants, and is fronting a summer campaign for Boursin.

He said of filming for French TV: “We were given two hours for lunch, a perfect three-course meal with wine! That’s France for you.”

Kill off Robson...? Oh no they didn’t

Grantchester give star Green’s character a late stay of execution

Character ‘died four times in a story meeting’

GRANTCHESTER’S producers planned to kill off Robson Green’s character in a tear-jerking series finale of the TV drama – but they got cold feet and decided viewers would prefer a happier ending.

The final series of the ITV smash – starring Robson and Rishi Nair as crimefighting duo Det Geordie Keating and the Reverent Alphy Kottaram – will air here next year.

But viewers in the US have already seen the 11th and final series and got a shock when Keating was shot and left fighting for his life.

Now screenwriter Daisy Coulam has revealed how she wrestled with the idea of killing him off altogether.

She confessed: “The amount of times we tried to be like, ‘He should die. He should definitely die’ – I mean he died probably about four times in the story meeting and we just couldn’t do it. It would just be too big. You’re like ‘No, because you

BY NICOLA METHVEN

need that moment at the end’. You need hope and you need joy because it’s a (platonic) love story and you need your two lovers alive at the end.”

Instead fans will see Keating survive the shooting and decide to retire.

He hands the baton over to fellow officer Larry Peters (Bradley Hall) to carry on sleuthing with the help of the Rev for future cases. And in a touching moment, Keating leaves his protege his hat – which he has kept since the start.

Daisy added: “The hat moment – it was randomly filmed the day

Rishi Nair as the Rev Alphy and Bradley Hall as Larry Peters, film

James Norton came to set for a visit. We were sitting and we said to Robson ‘What kind of thing would you like to do?’

“And he said ‘I think you should give Larry the hat’. We were like ‘Yes’ because I am obsessed with Indiana Jones and it’s basically Indiana Jones, isn’t it? It’s ‘the putting the hat on’. We were very happy and Bradley acted his socks off and he doesn’t say anything but you really, really feel his pride. It’s so sweet.”

During filming of his final scenes on a hospital trolley Robson, 61, lightened the mood by sneaking a sign on to the set which read

‘Available for pantomime’ – as the cast knew they needed to start looking for new projects.

When the porters wheeled him in and the cameras rolled he held up the sign and made everyone laugh.

He told The Masterpiece Studio podcast how he will miss the series, saying: “I’d always look at the schedule and go, ‘When are we going to Grantchester?’ Because it’s like going on holiday with lots and lots of friends.”

Plots for the final series will see the Rev Alphy question his faith and new fashion boutique owners Cathy Keating and Mrs C (Kacey Ainsworth and Tess Peake-Jones) get caught up in a murder.

Grantchester has run for 11 series since 2014. It has had three vicars helping Det Keating along the way including James Norton as the Rev Sidney Chambers and Tom Brittney as the Rev Will Davenport.

Fears over ban on petrol cars

Carmakers to get £65m government cash boost

BY JONATHAN WALKER

CARMAKERS are to receive £65million in government funding for eco vehicles.

It follows warnings that a ban on petrol and diesel models threatens thousands of jobs.

But ministers are refusing to back down on the curb, which comes fully into force in 2030 as part of efforts to cut emissions and tackle climate change.

Firms producing zero-emission vehicles will get £65million, including £50m to help produce more electric vehicles, with carmakers pledging to match that investment.

Industry minister Blair McDougall said: "Britain invented the modern motor industry and we're determined to ensure the next generation of vehicles are designed and built here too.

Viability

"This investment will secure skilled jobs, strengthen our manufacturing heartlands and drive re-industrialisation."

Recipients include a consortium led by Bentley and another led by Nissan focused on self-driving cars.

Although the full ban on new petrol cars is not yet in force, carmakers have already been told to ensure 33% of cars they sell are "zero emission".

But some makers say motorists do not want to buy electric cars so they have had to subsidise the vehicles by slashing prices. The industry directly employs around 156,000 people.

The House of Commons business committee has urged the government to pause the policy while it is reviewed.

And the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said the rules are "threatening jobs and business viability at the very time investment decisions are being made".

Cost-of-living crackdown on shops' 'fake' discounts

PM also pledges to end subscription traps

Quarter of households cannot afford crunch bill of £850, survey suggests

MORE than a quarter of households could not find an extra £850 in an emergency, a poll has found.

Only 72% could cover that sum, leaving 28% short.

Another 6% said they were unable to pay for enough food for everyone in their home, while 12% said they lacked cash to socialise at least once a month.

The Life in the UK Index, for Carnegie UK, said none of the three figures had improved since it began tracking in 2023.

Adam Lang, Carnegie's director of policy, insight and advocacy, said: "These results are disappointing but not surprising. Our data shows too many

Cost-of-living difficulties

BY CRAIG MEIGHAN

people remain unable to afford essentials, cope with unexpected costs, or participate fully in society.

"Andy Burnham has the right ambition, and we welcome his focus on the cost of living.

"However, there are no quick fixes for tackling inequality in our society.

"Meaningful change will require sustained action, collaboration across government, and a

commitment to measuring what matters to households and communities.

"Economic indicators such as inflation, wage growth and GDP tell us important things about the economy, but they do not tell us about whether

people are able to live well. If governments are serious about improving people's lives, they must track outcomes that matter to people and use that evidence to guide long-term policy decisions."

The survey found the proportion of people unable to keep their home adequately warm has fallen from 17% to 12% since 2023 - the lowest level it has recorded.

But Carnegie UK said the improvement had "not translated into wider gains in financial resilience".

Meanwhile, 23% of those surveyed said they could not afford to go away on a week's annual holiday - two points higher than in 2025.

The research suggests many people are unable to fund essentials, build financial security or participate fully in society, the charity added.

SHOPS will be banned from offering bogus bargains and the nation able to save a collective £1.6billion on subscriptions more easily, Andy Burnham said yesterday.

The Prime Minister, back from holiday today, announced the changes, promising more help to come to offset the cost-of-living crisis.

Under the first measure stores will be prevented from falsely claiming goods are being sold at a discount - after first briefly increasing the price.

The tactic and misleading recommended retail prices will be thrown open to consultation in the autumn and could be added to the list of practices banned under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act.

From January, businesses offering subscriptions will have to give clearer up-front information, regular reminders to customers and an easy way to end contracts.

A new 14-day cooling-off period will also allow people to cancel after a trial or when a long-term contract renews.

There are around 155 million active subscriptions in the UK, with consumers spending an estimated £1.6billion a year on ones they do not actually want.

Mr Burnham, who starts a national tour today in "listening mode" on runaway bills, said: "I'm determined to pull every single lever we can to provide people with some room to breathe on the cost of living. These are just two of the everyday fixes we're going to be rolling out - today is just the start.

Sneaky

"We want to put more money in people's pockets and give people hope that politics really can work for them and their everyday lives."

But the Conservatives claimed he was rehashing policies already announced.

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride said: "Andy Burnham has already run out of ideas. The cost of living didn't become a problem last week.

"You have to ask why it has taken Labour so long to enact legislation passed by the previous government.

"Labour's tax hikes have sent costs soaring for hard-working families and destroyed jobs.

"Consultations and reheated measures won't make up for that.

"Only the Conservatives have detailed, clear plans to tackle the cost of living by cutting taxes, cutting energy bills by £200 and getting Britain working again."

But Dame Clare Moriarty, chief executive of Citizens Advice, was more positive about Mr Burnham's announcement. She said: "For too long, consumers have been tricked into paying for products or services they don't use - or didn't even want to begin with - costing millions of pounds each year.

"So we really welcome the government's move to speed up action on subscription traps and look at banning other tactics firms use to catch consumers out.

"We've sounded the alarm on this for years, because we know subscription traps and sneaky online practices that hit consumers' pockets hard are a widespread problem."

HIGH SPEND 'DISAPPOINTING'

A face-to-face GP session

Online GPs access plan is 'unsafe' for patients

BY ELLA PICKOVER

CHANGES to improve online access to GPs have led to a reduction in face-to-face appointments, doctors have warned.

And many believe patient safety has been put at risk by the move, it was said.

Since October 1 last year, all practices in England have been ordered to offer patients online assistance during core working hours.

A poll of surgeries in England, conducted by the GP magazines Pulse and Management in Practice, found that a third said they have been forced to reduce the number of face-to-face appointments as a result.

And 25% of the 330 GPs and 242 practice managers who responded to the poll said they believe patient safety has been put at risk by the changes.

Dispute

According to NHS England's own data, the proportion of GP appointments in England that were carried out face-to-face is on a steady downward trend, while the number performed by phone or online has been rising.

In June, some 60.2% of patients were seen face-to-face, compared with 62.9% in June 2025 and 64.9% in June 2024.

The BMA is in formal dispute with the government over the changes. Dr Manu Agrawal, deputy chair of the BMA GP committee, said: 'Our view is backed by the results of this survey – the current online request system is unsafe, and a system that reduces face-to-face appointments in favour of spending more time on bureaucracy is neither efficient for practice nor ideal for patients.'

A Department of Health spokesman said: 'We have recruited 2,000 extra GPs since 2024, invested £1.7billion over the course of two years, and placed GPs at the heart of our 10-year health plan.'

£1.7m cost of Lords' assisted dying debates

Peers claim allowances as they stop bill becoming law

ASSISTED dying debates in the Lords which ended by failing to approve the bill may cost taxpayers more than £1.7million in attendance payments to peers, research found.

The total amount paid to members during discussion of the issue – which stretched to 16 days before running out of time – is on track to reach £1,705,000 according to analysis by the Press Association.

Peers can claim a tax-free payment of £371 for attending the Lords, without the requirement to speak in any debates or even sit on the red benches of the upper chamber.

However, they can also opt to claim a reduced sum of £175 – or not put in for an allowance at all.

An average 3.4% of peers chose to claim the reduced rate on dates when the landmark legislation was being discussed.

Each sitting of debates on legalising assisted dying will cost an average of £109,505 based on available figures.

A total of £1.3m has already been paid out, according to statistics provided by the

BY HANNA GEISSLER

House of Lords. Supporters of the bill have accused opponents of undemocratically filibustering the proposed legislation – talking it out of time – by tabling a host of unnecessary amendments.

Lord Falconer of Thoroton, who sponsored the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, did not claim any allowances for the debates in which he participated.

He said: 'It's disappointing that a lot of money was spent failing to reach any conclusions in the Lords.'

The Labour former minister continued: 'If we had gone about things in the normal way, we could have got through the whole bill in the Lords in the time it actually took us to get only halfway through the process.'

'We didn't, only because a small minority of peers filibustered by putting down thousands of amend-

ments and talking the bill out.' But Phil Friend, convenor of the disability rights group Not Dead Yet which is opposed to the bill, said that the cost showed peers had 'taken this bill seriously enough to show up and scrutinise it properly'.

He added: 'That is exactly what Parliament is for.'

Change

'For disabled and terminally ill people, the cost of getting this wrong is not measured in pounds – it is measured in lives.'

The award-winning Daily Express crusade Give Us Our Last Rights has campaigned for a change in the law on assisted dying for terminally ill adults for more than four years.

On the first day of debate, 395

members of the House of Lords attended. The lowest figure was 269, and the daily average over the course of the sessions was 315 peers.

The legislation, which was put forward by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, ran out of scheduled days for debate before the parliamentary session ended on March 24.

However, her party colleague Lauren Edwards has reintroduced it after she was drawn second in the private member's bill ballot.

The bill is set to face a second reading on September 11.

If MPs back the proposals for a second time, the Lords will not be able to block them again.

Supporters believe that the total of MPs in favour whose votes helped it pass through the House of Commons last year is likely to hold up.

They claim that there has been 'no slippage' in support since.

Andy Burnham said last month he believes that end-of-life palliative care and wider social care require reform before assisted dying legislation is brought in.

Ms Edwards has argued that the changes can be done simultaneously.

Toymaker Corgi celebrates seven decades of model professionalism - and is still driving imaginations young and old

70 YEARS

SEVENTY years ago, a city on the south-west coast of Wales became an unlikely mecca for the motorcar. Be it a Rover 90, a Triumph TR2, a Morris Cowley, a Hillman Husky or a host of other great British models, this is where they were made.

Only these were Corgi cars - miniature scale models with clear plastic windows, detailed interiors and working mechanical features, like suspension and opening parts.

First off the production line at the Swansea factory back in 1956 was the Ford Consul. It became an instant hit.

Victoria & Albert museum assistant curator Tanaya Basu De Sarkar says: "In Swansea, they were able to create nearly 6,000 jobs in an area where unemployment had been high due to closure of coal mines."

The Corgi story began even earlier, after Jewish migrants Philip Ullmann and Arthur Katz fled persecution in Germany for England, after Hitler's rise to power in 1933.

Toymakers, they established a workshop in Northampton, initially producing tinplate toys, similar to those being made in Germany, calling their company Mettoy.

During the Second World War, the factory also manufactured muni-

tions and a cooking stove for troops posted in tropical jungle environments.

Within six years, the Northampton factory had 600 employees and needed more room and the company moved to the larger site in Wales, making toys of all shapes and sizes, from boats and trains to dollhouses.

Then, in 1956 in Swansea, a line of discast toy motor vehicles was developed under a new name. The Corgi car was born.

Tanaya continues: "They were one of the main toy vehicle producers of the 60s and 70s, alongside their competitors Dinky Toys [made by Hornby] and Matchbox [made by Lesney]."

According to toy expert and Corgi collector Lawrence Lambert, the Britishness of the cars boosted their popularity.

He says: "It was a homegrown company, which instantly appealed. They did British cars, British trucks, British buses, British lorries.

"You had the Ford Consul, the Mini Cooper, the ERF lorries - things you used to actually see on the street when you were growing up."

Named after the famous Welsh

OF PLAYING POWER

dog beloved by our late Queen, there are plenty of famous Corgi fans, including James May, Bill Nighy and Gary Oldman, who all collect toy cars.

Lawrence, 70, a regular contributor to TV shows Car Booty, Cash in the Attic, and Antiques Roadshow, continues: "I'm the same age as Corgi. I have been collecting Corgi toys since the 1960s.

"At the top of my road where I grew up in east London was a newsagent called Wrights. My older brother and I would walk there every Saturday morning and marvel at all these wonderful toy cars in the window.

"Once my mum got wind of that, she said, 'do some housework', and each week we had pocket money to choose a car."

His first, the Monte Carlo Rally Mini, was a famous racing car.

Northern Irish rally driver Patrick "Paddy" Hopkirk drove the iconic number 37 Tartan Red Mini Cooper S to victory at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1967.

Lawrence says: "You could own a little piece of history for between three and eight shillings."

Aghast after leaving home, when he discovered his mum had given his collection away, he built it up again and now has hundreds of Corgi cars. He says: "Mum thought

a 14-year-old would grow out of toy cars. But of course, you know and I know, most men – and women – in their 50s, 60s, and 70s never grow out of toy cars."

Famous for pioneering transparent plastic windows, Corgis were marketed as "the ones with windows", setting them apart from rival Dinky Toys, with empty windows.

Lawrence adds: "Part of the Corgi appeal was you could buy your dad's car or a supercar. You could choose familiarity or reach for the stars."

ONE of the top sellers in the 60s was the Volvo P1800, the car driven by Roger Moore's character in The Saint. And they didn't stop there.

Tanaya says: "Their major success came in acquiring the rights to merchandising James Bond's vehicles. Bond's Aston Martin DB5 was sold in gold, although in the movie it was silver." Guy

Stainthorpe, MD for Corgi Brand and founder of Corgi Model Club, says: "The 1965 James Bond Aston Martin DB5, featuring an ejector seat, rear shield, and machine guns, became the bestselling die-cast toy car ever made.

"It was one of the oldest toy licensing arrangements. To date it's sold 11.5 million models."

As the late 1960s and 1970s rolled around, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Daktari Land Rover drove further millions in global sales. Later models featured advanced features like fibre-optic working headlights, Glidematic suspension, and spring-loaded ejector seats.

Guy says: "It was just fun at its heart. The company evolved lots of different things, like wheel jacks so you could take off the wheels and play with them. You could play with the steering wheel too. Interactive features were especially loved on the cars from the films – like James Bond. It captured people's imagination.

"It was innovation, new approaches, new styles, new techniques, all with one

aim – to bring joy. There is no more iconic toy motor than a Corgi."

Tanaya adds: "Corgi was the first manufacturer to include a vacuum-formed plastic interior, rather than empty interiors.

"The Young V&A has several Corgi Toy vehicles in the permanent collection, including the classic Aston Martin DB5, the Beatles' Yellow Submarine, and a model Routemaster released for the 2012 Olympics."

She says of many examples displayed in the museum: "They explore the idea of 'small world play'."

"Children develop many skills through this kind of early years play, from creativity as they imagine that their toy vehicles are going on adventures, strengthening motor skills from pushing them about, and developing social skills by playing together."

But, just like the rest of British car manufacturing, while the Corgi brand lives on, the Swansea factory closed in 1991, after a buyout by American toy giant Mattel in 1989.

Between 1995 and 1996 Corgi became Corgi Classics Ltd, relocating to Leicester and expanding into die-cast aircraft.

Then, in 2008, Corgi was acquired by Hornby Hobbies, its current parent company, but pro-

production is now in China and new models are still produced each year. The original Land Rover, released in 1957, sold over 10 million and a brand new Range Rover is being released for 2026 to delight a new generation of fans.

GUY says: "We are renowned for being a heritage brand, but we're constantly evolving, with recent partnerships including Star Trek for a range of their stashups.

"We've worked with Aardman, another great British brand celebrating an anniversary this year – their 50th. We've just released Shaun the Sheep on a quad bike."

You can now pick up a new Corgi with change for a tenner, less on resale platforms like eBay. Although some of the rarer models are worth over £100.

Lawrence says their worth lies not in the cost but in the nostalgia.

He added: "For the grown-ups, they transport them to a time of simplicity and joy. I pick up a Corgi car at 70 and I am that small boy again, looking through the shop window. And for the children picking them up for the first time, what joys are yet to unfold."

Primary pupils 'must be taught spice vape peril'

PRIMARY school pupils should be taught about the dangers of vapes laced with the drug spice, experts say.

Some 13% of e-cigarettes and liquids analysed from 114 English schools by the University of Bath contained the highly addictive cannabinoid.

This rose to 25% in London and Lancashire.

Children as young as 11 are feared to be using them.

Now drug and alcohol education charity Hope UK is calling for children to be taught earlier about the perils of the vapes being sold on social media and under counters.

Chief executive Sarah Brighton said: "The main problem we're finding with spice-laced vapes is that chil-

dren are completely unaware of the risks. Buying an illegal vape from an unscrupulous seller on your high street is not the only way to obtain them as they are easily available via the internet.

Man using a regular vape

"This is why awareness raising is so vital from quite a young age. Because we're seeing children in primary school bringing these vapes into school.

"Young children have a very clear understanding of what is safe... but it's up to us to teach them."

Spice is a synthetic drug with users falling into a zombie state. University of Bath's Prof Chris Pudney said: "It gets compared to crack in terms of its addictive potential."

Gold medal transplant student now wants to be a surgeon

'Nothing cooler in medicine'

A MEDICAL student whose life was saved by a 15-hour double transplant now plans to become a surgeon to help others in a similar position.

Andy Prigg, 23, was born with rare genetic autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease and knew from a young age he would need a new kidney.

At 15, it became clear he also needed a liver transplant.

The experience – and years of care from “all these great people, growing up” – have left him in no doubt about his career.

He said: “Pre-transplant, I always wanted to do emergency medicine, in the helicopters and stuff like that. I was a bit of an adrenaline junkie.

“Now, post-transplant, I feel like there is nothing cooler in medicine than transplant. It’s the one speciality in which you can take something back from death.

“There is no other speciality where you can give someone a

kidney or a liver or something like that, and completely change their life in around 12 hours.”

Andy’s own life was transformed in June 2024 when a suitable match was found.

Despite struggling with the feeling someone had to die for him to live – and a “pretty horrendous” recovery – he has bounced back.

And on Friday he won two golds in cycling at the British Transplant Games in Sheffield.

He smashed a 5km time trial in eight minutes and 32 seconds, and finished a 10km road race in 18 minutes flat.

Andy, from Chester, says he thinks about his own donor every day. He is in his fourth year at the University of Sheffield, and has spent two months working with a transplant team in Oxford.

The trainee medic aims to

travel to Sydney next year to spend his elective placement with more specialists.

NHS Blood and Transplant launched an appeal last week for one million more people to register as organ donors by 2027.

Although England has an opt-out system, families are still consulted and are more likely to refuse if they did not know their loved one’s wishes.

Consent levels slumped by almost a fifth from 69% in 2020-21 to 57% in 2025-26.

Almost 29 million people in the UK have recorded their decision by joining the NHS Organ Donor Register.

Andy said he would not “push anyone either way”, but urged people to speak to their loved ones. He added: “I think it’s just a discussion worth having.

“It’s about having the conversation, the understanding with your family.”

'I've won something better than the lottery' with cancer trial spot

THE first patient in a landmark clinical trial for blood cancer is hoping the procedure transforms treatment plans for thousands of sufferers.

Jason Walker was 45 when persistent back pain and double vision led to the devastating news in February 2014 of his “terminal” stage three multiple myeloma.

Three weeks ago, Jason, now 57, started 14 cycles of new treatment. The trial deals with immunotherapy, which can be used for blood cancer but which sees 70% of patients suffer side-effects with Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), a potentially dangerous reaction that sends a quarter into intensive care.

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, in Greater Manchester, has launched the Topical trial to see if experimental anti-inflammatory POLB 001 can stop CRS and transform immunotherapy for multiple myeloma sufferers, and

EXCLUSIVE BY CHRIS RICHES

potentially other blood cancers too. Decorator Jason Walker, inset, of Longridge, Lancashire, said: “I feel very lucky to be on the trial and I hope it works, not just for myself, but for the wider myeloma warriors out there. If taking part helps improve treatment for others, that’s really worthwhile.

“I’ve been living with this disease for 12 years, and you have to keep looking forward. I’ll keep fighting and making the most of every day.

“Any hope in a difficult situation is good. I feel blessed to be on the trial, it’s like I’ve won something better than the lottery.”

Dr Emma Searle, from The Christie, said: “Immunotherapy treatments are transforming survival rates for patients, but their use will continue to be restricted until we find a way to deliver them safely outside of specialist hospitals.”

DIST

THREE hundred years ago Lancashire's mills powered Britain's Industrial Revolution – now a foreign invader is making new, unwanted headlines there. Shocked homeowner Tony Dawson was appalled when we spotted the UK's worst faceless menace just 50 yards from his back gate, as he told us of his fears in his garden... because however much you dig it out, burn it or cut it down, once Japanese knotweed has taken hold it's a nightmare to eradicate.

A study, by invasive plant UK specialists Environet, identified Blackburn with Darwen as the UK's worst borough for Japanese knotweed with 2,135 incidences, or 40.36 per sq mile.

Nathan Hannaway, 33, who lives in the worst-hit postcode, recently revealed the five-bedroom Victorian home he and his partner spent £430,000 on had the invasive weed growing in it. He was quoted £15,000 to remove it.

So I visited the market town of Darwen, and the neighbouring industrial town of Blackburn, to see if I could track down this nuisance myself.

At first it proved trickier than I thought. Experts advised me to 'head for water', as the plants – introduced to British ornamental gardens by Victorians – have roots in the nation's railways and waterways, where they were planted to stabilise embankments.

The trouble is, it's now spread out of control and without expert help you simply cannot shift it.

It doesn't reproduce by seed, it spreads up to seven metres below ground, smashes through tarmac like paper and even 1cm-long chopped-up roots can regenerate into new, three-metre-tall plants.

It can devalue your home – alarming figures released this year estimate it has wiped £21.4billion off the value of property in the UK – and is responsible for an estimated £246.5million in annual economic costs, according to Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux International.

First I stopped two female Police Community Support Officers in Darwen and asked if they had spotted any Japanese knotweed on their beat.

I was directed to Alum House Brook, by Darwen Police Station, and Darwen Cemetery but I came up blank. However I struck paydirt when I drove to Blackburn Old Cemetery, which has publicly revealed past struggles combatting the virulent herbaceous perennial.

A worker at a dealership next door alerted me to a clump of the plant by the fence bordering with the cemetery, and there it was, lurking in the shadows behind a hut.

I clambered down the small embankment to have a look. Its stem is like a purple-green bamboo; powerful, rock hard, utterly defiant and over two metres tall.

Maurice Fielan, 82, of The Friends of Blackburn Old Cemetery, confirmed: 'It's a bugger to get rid of. It can grow to 10ft tall.'

Japanese knotweed can also grow up to 10cm a day in the summer heat, reaching up to three metres across a single season.

Maurice added: 'The problem is if you start mowing it, you transfer little bits about and you don't notice until the next year when it suddenly starts popping up everywhere.'

'Spraying with weedkiller seems to be only partially successful, probably because of the dense root balls.'

'The most effective way of tackling the infestation seems to be by injecting weedkiller directly into the mature stalks when the plants have grown large enough.'

Soon I was tipped off to another sighting, this time back in Darwen on an embankment on Bolton Road and on the other side of the street to The Spinners pub. Pub worker

REDUCE KNOTWEED

Jessica Power, 19, was shocked when I pointed out that Japanese knotweed was growing just 100 yards away as her own family home's garden extends down part of that embankment.

'It's very scary,' she said. 'I've heard of it and that it's really difficult to remove. It's strange that of all the UK, Blackburn and Darwen are the places where it is the worst.'

I decided to head to the cul-de-sac where the gardens extend down the slope, with the huge outcrop of Japanese knotweed already metres wide, thicker and taller than I am, and I walked in to inspect the growth.

Homeowner David Wilson-Parr, 52, has lived on his road for 13 years and believes part of the land behind their row of gardens could be owned by United Utilities.

He was alarmed when I revealed Japanese knotweed was growing just beyond his boundary fence. By chance, he admitted he once took a natural health supplement that was made from the invasive plant. Polygonum cuspidatum, the scientific name for Japanese knotweed, is the most popular commercial source for resveratrol as its

roots contain much higher concentrations of the compound.

'I've taken the supplement in the past as it has high antioxidant properties but I don't want Japanese knotweed near my garden,' said David.

'I've read about it as I researched the supplement before I took it. I was shocked by the speed at which it grows. I read about the way you can't just dig it out so I wouldn't want that anywhere near my property.'

TEXT door neighbour Tony Dawson, 55, was equally concerned and took me into his back garden to gauge just how close the fast-spreading floral pest was to his back gate.

I pointed him in the direction of the plant and he was genuinely shocked: 'That's just 50 yards or so from where we are standing. That has me very concerned.'

'Under our homes on this road is a natural underground spring which means we have

to be careful about what goes on under our properties which could affect the foundations. I have heard of Japanese knotweed growing through concrete so this is a concern. It's closer than I thought so that really is worrying.'

Later that evening I found another gigantic outcrop in Darwen by a railway line, with the whole area taped off and a sign warning: 'Invasive Species Treatment Area – Do Not Enter.'

An elderly woman in a property near the infected embankment, who asked not to be named, told me: 'It's ridiculous how overgrown it has become. They said they have treated it, or sprayed it, but it looks almost immune. It's not made any impact.'

'I'm worried it will keep spreading underground and affect other houses. It's like the Day of the Triffids, like some alien plant that can withstand anything.'

'It's actually quite scary.' Expert Emily Grant, director at Environet, told the Express just why Japanese knotweed is a serious issue for the whole nation. Environet's analysis identifying Blackburn

with Darwen as the worst borough is based on data from their live online tracker, Exposed: The Japanese knotweed heatmap, using over 100,000 verified sightings across the country.

Homeowners and homebuyers can enter their postcode to discover the number of known sightings within a five-mile radius, with hotspots highlighted in yellow, orange, or in the worst cases, red.

"Japanese knotweed is the most problematic invasive plant in the UK," said Emily.

"It's not just because of the damage it can cause and because it's so hard to get rid of, but also because of the restrictions around buying and selling affected properties and the legal implications if it's allowed to spread.

"You won't be able to sell your property until you have it professionally dealt with, as

sellers are legally required to declare it on the TA6 conveyancing form, and you could be at risk of a legal claim from a neighbour if it encroaches onto their land.

"If you do discover knotweed on your property, it's best to act fast and get a survey as soon as possible. From there a treatment plan can be put in place, whether it's herbicide, removal, or a combination of both.

"Whatever option you go for, be sure to get an insurance-backed guarantee so if it starts to regrow you know you're covered – and that's what mortgage lenders will expect when you come to sell your property."

DUT why is Blackburn so overrun with Japanese knotweed? "It's likely to be linked to Blackburn's industrial past and the mass movement of soil over time," explained Emily.

"Major rivers like the River Blakewater and River Darwen have probably also aided

the spread of knotweed over many decades, as pieces of rhizome break off and are carried downstream, embedding themselves in new locations."

I contacted Blackburn with Darwen Council to ask them what steps they were taking to tackle Japanese knotweed in their borough.

Tony Watson, director of environment and resident services, told the Express: "Japanese knotweed is a national issue and not unique to Blackburn with Darwen.

"Where knotweed is present on council-owned land it is actively managed through a targeted treatment programme.

"Areas of Japanese knotweed management are prioritised based on risk, location and available resources with repeated treatments required over a period of time to eradicate the plant. Due to this, successful management often goes unseen."

It may not be exactly the Day of the Triffids, but Japanese knotweed does indeed look like an ugly, invasive alien – one that could be coming to a postcode near you soon.

Victorian-era printer is pressed back into action

THIS rare late Victorian press has been restored to working order in time for the 160th anniversary of the UK's oldest working commercial letterpress printing works.

The machine at Robert Smail's Printing Works in the Scottish Borders is now operational again for the first time in 10 years.

It is one of six working presses at the historic site in Innerleithen.

Bellows

The works still produces cards, posters, calendars and prints for sale in the on-site stationer's shop and also fulfils bespoke orders.

Smail's printing works, now cared for by the National Trust for Scotland, was founded when he bought the High Street site in 1866 for £500.

The automatic Falcon Safety Platen Press – built by Waite and Saville of Otley, West Yorks – is said to be the last of its type still in use in Britain.

During the restoration work,

BY LUCINDA CAMERON

specialists from the Leicester-based Leather Conservation Centre repaired a hole in the machine's essential bellows.

They emit a small puff of air to ensure that only a single sheet of paper is lifted into the press at a time.

Lesley Scott, NTS regional conservator for Edinburgh and East, said: "It's wonderful to have all six machines here at Robert Smail's busy at work and serving the community."

She continued: "Industrial heritage is best appreciated and understood by audiences when they can see the working machinery in its authentic setting being used for its original intention.

"Through the live demonstrations by our skilled printers, the presses are not just static artefacts but dynamic, working machines that engage the senses and give visitors a glimpse of how our printing needs were met before the digital age."

Gotcha...in a beak attack

BY ADAM DUTTON

A SPOTTED flycatcher munches on its intact meal, an unfortunate painted lady butterfly snared in mid-flight.

Wildlife photographer Andrew Fusek Peters captured the moment the insect was snatched – and duly consumed – by the lightning-fast bird.

The meal prob occurred in a garden near Cain Elnion, Shropshire.

Andrew, 61, said: "A painted lady is quite the juicy dinner, packed with protein and a real treat."

Ospreys breed for first time at RSPB reserve

Three chicks hatch in England

OSPREYS have been born at an RSPB nature reserve in England for the first time.

The three rare chicks hatched to a breeding pair, believed to be first-time parents, in June.

Now the young are learning to fish and fend for themselves at RSPB Campfield Marsh in Cumbria before the family emigrate to Africa next month.

Ospreys were wiped out at the start of the 20th century, in part due to Victorians collecting their eggs and skins for taxidermy.

They were successfully reintroduced to Scotland in the 1950s, with 316 breeding pairs moving elsewhere in the UK.

The charity's wetlands reserve has been trying to woo the birds with an osprey platform – a base for nests

mounted on a tall pole. Boss Mhairi Maclauchlan said: "We are incredibly excited to be the first RSPB reserve in England to host a pair of breeding ospreys. The parents are surprisingly tender despite their large size and sharp talons. They can also offer good comedic value with nest-tidying exploits. Ospreys are frequently site and partner-faithful, so we're hoping to see more of them."

Local schoolchildren have named the chicks Ash, Beau and Bowness Bobbi. The hatchlings have been ringed along with their previously untapped mum. The father was first recorded in Dumfries in 2021. Ospreys, with a wingspan of up to 5.5ft, are second only to eagles in size among UK birds of prey.

BEAUTY GET THAT GLOW

MORE GOOD INTENTIONS

Boots' Good Intent range burst onto the beauty scene last year with glow-boosting skincare with a very K-beauty feel: pastel packaging, on-trend ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, and prices under £15. It's been such a bit that there are now six body products to match. The same result-driven ingredients lists and fun formulations, like Dew Bank Bouncy Jelly Moisture Balm, £14.95, and Pore Buff Jelly Body Cleanser, £12.95. The latter has salicylic acid - great for bacne and uneven skin.

Bump it up

I still feel like bumpy skin on knees and upper arms (what dermatologists call keratosis pilaris) is an under-talked-about area of summer beauty prep, though it's a drum Ameliorate has been banging for years with the Transforming Body Wash and Body Lotion duo. Both highly effective from the first use. New for this summer, they're available in a holiday-inspired Tropical Retreat scent, transforming what was a functional little routine into more of a spa luxe experience. The wash is £12, the lotion is £24, or buy them together for £31.

WORKING UNDERCOVER

I am a big fan of Clarins' new Skin Illusion All-In-One Concealer, £29, which does more than just cover up my under-eye dark circles, it actually helps to reduce them by 24% over 10 days. With horse chestnut extract and caffeine, to give the look of a good night's sleep even when you didn't get one, it's also water (and sweat) proof, so it even survives a British heatwave.

BLURRED LINES

Remember that Naughties advice to avoid matte formulations if you have thin lips? Well, sorry, but you can forget it now. Partly because products have got better (they go on smoother, they enhance where they used to desaturate), but also because the blurred lips trend makes things easier. Kay Beauty Cashmere Lip Blur, £16 at SpaceNK, comes in nine flattering shades. It's so easy to gently overline your lips with, then dab the edges for a modern, just-kissed look. It doubles as a matching cheek colour too.

BEFORE THE OPERATION Mark in hospital awaiting a transplant

INSEPARABLE Mark with his son Aaron

HUGO

Sharing a kidney has brought us even closer

With a shortage of suitable organs and more than 7,000 patients currently on NHS waiting lists for a life-saving transplant, Mark Bond and his son Aaron pay tribute to the benefits of living donations

BY KAREN ROCKETT

As a professional golfer turned club manager, Mark Bond had always been as fit as a flea. But back in 2013, at the age of 49, he started to feel a little tired and out of sorts and went to see his GP who referred him to a kidney specialist. "I was feeling very lethargic and off my food which isn't like me and was told my kidney function was a little low," he recalls. "I was advised to overhaul my diet, cut out fatty foods, potatoes and seasoning, sweets and alcohol."

With the help and support of his wife Susan, Mark embarked on a healthy new regime, and began walking two or three miles

every day and cycling to increase his fitness levels. "I had enjoyed a good lifestyle and my weight had gone up to 18 stone but, in this new regime, I lost four stone and felt great.

"My kidney function was being monitored and I was taking good care of myself."

But despite his efforts, by 2016, Mark was starting to tire much more quickly – and more tests soon revealed the cause.

"It was a real shock to learn my kidneys were only functioning at 23% after all my efforts", the father-of-two from Preston, Lancashire, says.

"Then lockdown came and I didn't see my specialist for two and half years, something they did apologise for."

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

By the time Mark was seen again in 2022 he was devastated to learn his kidney function had fallen to just 15%. Mark was suffering from nephropathy, which is when kidney damage is caused by high blood pressure which puts a strain on the small blood vessels in the kidney.

"As well as suffering from high blood pressure because of my weight, for years when I was playing golf, I took a lot of ibuprofen because I had a bad back, maybe eight or 10 a day for years. That was in the late 80s and no one said that it was dangerous.

"The consultant said that, combined with my high blood pressure because of my weight, were the probable causes of my kidney disease.

"But it was a real shock because I had really been looking

after myself and I looked well. I was told I would need a transplant and if my function dropped much further I would need to start dialysis, which I really didn't want to do."

More than 7,000 patients are currently on the NHS waiting list for a kidney transplant and six people die every week waiting for a kidney. Moreover, there are currently 32,000-plus people on dialysis, at a cost of around £34,000 a year per patient to the NHS. The treatment is required for those living with end-stage kidney failure.

"The kidney nurse came to see me at home and talked about setting up a dialysis machine in a room in the house and said it would be three times a day, four times a week," Mark continues.

"I really didn't want to be tied to the house like that. I have always been so active. In fact I turned down dialysis four times."

Mark was still struggling into work running Chorley Golf Club but only managing a few hours before he would be forced to come home, slump in a chair and rest for a few hours.

"I was in bed by 10pm and up and down about four or five times in the night. I was constantly cold and absolutely bushed."

A transplant was his only option. Nine family members and friends came forward to offer to be tested to see if one of their kidneys would be suitable for a living donation – including Susan and their sons Aaron, 35, and Zack 32.

While both sons proved a perfect match, Aaron, as the eldest son, insisted that it would be him.

Modestly he says today that it "just felt like the obvious thing to do". But Mark is under no illusions at the sacrifice he has

made. "He is an absolute hero. He has given me my life back."

For his part, Aaron, a sales manager, says: "Growing up my dad was my superhero. I idolised him as a child and teenager and it was really worrying watching him deteriorate and losing his powers.

"I had no hesitation about donating a kidney. He had looked after me all these years and now it was my turn to do the same.

"And possibly as the elder son, it felt like it was my turn to be the protector now. I wanted him to live as long as possible, not just for him but for my mum too. They are inseparable."

OPERATION SCHEDULED

Unfortunately, the first operation was cancelled when it was discovered Aaron was too dehydrated and so his kidney function wasn't good enough.

Mark adds: "He was devastated because at 2am the night before the op, when we were both in hospital, everything was fine."

After losing their slot last October, the family feared it could be months before they had the chance to do it again.

Then a persistent kidney nurse managed to get them a second slot on December 10 at Manchester Royal Infirmary and this time everything went to plan.

Aaron donated his left kidney. Surgeons prefer this because the left kidney generally has a longer renal vein, making the surgical connection (anastomosis) in the recipient much easier. Mark's new kidney was placed on the right hand side, at the front, and his original two kidneys remain in place.

After five hours in theatre Mark went to the recovery ward where unfortunately they struggled to stabilise his heart rate so he had to be admitted to the critical care ward where it was discovered he had had a reaction to the morphine.

Mark says: "A wonderful nurse stayed by my side all night monitoring me and making sure I was as comfortable as possible."

Younger son Zack was devastated when he came to visit as he had exciting news to share. His wife Annabel was expecting their first baby. "My wife and Zack were in tears because they thought I might not make it to hear the news."

However, the next day Mark was feeling much better and thrilled to learn he was to become a grandfather for the first time, with Zack telling him "now you've got something to live for". And in July, baby Savanna arrived weighing 7lbs, 5 oz.

Mark, now 61, and feeling better than ever says: "It is phenomenal how my life has turned around from being at 'deaths door' to being 'pops'. My kidney function is now at 91%, which is incredible."

At this point Aaron, who is back in the gym and feeling fighting fit again, jokes: "Yeah his kidney function is better than mine. Mine was at 78% but I haven't had a test for a while. If it doesn't improve I'll be wanting it back!"

Both father and son couldn't believe how quickly they recovered from the procedure.

Mark adds: "I was only in hospital for six days and was tucking into a full Christmas lunch for the first time in years a couple of weeks later. We have been on holiday to Iceland since to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday and now we have our beautiful granddaughter too. Life couldn't be better and it is all down to my amazing son. He is the real superhero."

LIVING KIDNEY DONATION

Living kidney donation is when someone chooses to give one of their kidneys to a person with kidney failure who needs a transplant. It could be a friend or family member, or some people choose to donate to a stranger on a transplant waiting list.

In the UK, living kidney transplants have been performed since 1960 and around 1,000 procedures are performed each year with a very high success rate.

As well as considering living kidney donation, people can also join the deceased donor registry, where your kidneys and other organs will be donated after your death. However, only a very small number of people die in circumstances where their organs are suitable for transplant (fewer than 1% of the population) so there is always a shortage.

The success rate for

transplants from living donors is better than from deceased donors, and can also last many years longer.

Adults wait an average of 18 months for a transplant but it can be much longer. If more people participated in living kidney donations, the waiting list would shrink and more

people with kidney disease could come off (or avoid) years of difficult dialysis, regain their health and independence. For donors, the experience can also be meaningful.

A spokesperson from the Robert Danopor Partnership for Living Kidney Donation, a charity partnership between Kidney Research UK and Give a Kidney, said: "Many people feel proud, fulfilled, and even gain a new sense of worth knowing that they've done something to help someone else in need. It's a chance to make a real difference."

DR AZEEM MAJEED YOUR HEALTH MATTERS

Fighting frailty to give you a longer and stronger life

Give yourself the best chance of recovery and independence by making your body more resilient

As an NHS GP, one of the things I see is how differently people age. Two patients may both be 80 years old, yet their lives can be very different. One may still be travelling, gardening and enjoying long walks, while another may struggle with activities such as climbing the stairs or shopping.

A minor illness one person shrugs off in days can leave another needing weeks of recovery. One reason for the difference is frailty.

WHAT IS FRAILTY?

In medical terms, frailty is a state in which the body becomes less resilient. This means that even minor health problems have a much greater impact than they once did.

One person might recover quickly from a mild respiratory infection. Someone living with frailty may become confused, lose their mobility, suffer a fall or require a hospital admission. Recovery is often slower, and some people never regain the physical level they had before becoming ill.

Frailty develops gradually over many years through changes that occur throughout the body, including loss of muscle strength, reduced bone density and a decline in the ability of organs to cope with physical stress.

Although frailty becomes more common as we grow older, it is not just due to ageing. Many people remain fit, active and independent in later life. Understanding what frailty is – and what can be done to prevent or delay it – is one of the keys to healthier ageing.

WHY DOES FRAILTY DEVELOP?

It usually results from a combination of factors. Ageing leads to loss of muscle mass and strength. Long-term medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or arthritis can accelerate this decline.

Poor nutrition, physical inactivity and

smoking also increase the risk, along with social factors. Loneliness and isolation may lead people to become less physically active, eat less well and lose confidence in socialising. Over time, these changes can contribute to a gradual decline in health and independence.

Although frailty is most common in older age, it also affects younger adults. People with multiple long-term conditions, severe disabilities or illnesses that reduce muscle strength and physical resilience may develop frailty when young.

HOW DO DOCTORS IDENTIFY IT?

General practitioners routinely look for signs of frailty in older patients. Increasingly, NHS computer systems use information already in medical records to help identify people who may be living with mild, moderate or severe frailty and who may benefit from support.

But no computer score tells the whole story. Frailty is best identified through a combination of medical information and clinical judgment. Doctors will consider how well someone manages everyday activities, their mobility, memory, nutrition and overall health.

CAN YOU PREVENT IT?

The good news is frailty can be delayed or slowed. Regular physical activity is the single most effective measure. Exercises that build muscle strength and improve balance help people maintain mobility and independence.

Walking is excellent for overall health but activities such as resistance training or climbing stairs also improve strength and reduce the risk of falls.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is important too. Older people sometimes eat less than they need, particularly if they live alone or have a poor appetite. Adequate protein intake helps maintain muscle mass, while a varied diet rich in fruit, vegetables and whole grains supports

overall health. Avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption and maintaining a healthy weight all contribute to healthier ageing. Keeping long-term medical conditions well controlled and attending routine health checks are important.

Spending time with family and friends, joining community groups, volunteering or taking part in local activities can all support physical and mental wellbeing.

WHAT IF SOMEONE IS ALREADY FRAIL?

Many people living with frailty can improve their strength, confidence and quality of life with the right support. Exercise remains beneficial even for people who are frail.

Doctors may also review medications to reduce side effects or stop medicines that are no longer needed.

Good nutrition becomes even more important once frailty has developed. Some people benefit from a dietitian's advice, while others may require treatment for conditions such as osteoporosis to reduce the risk of

fractures. Falls prevention is another key part. This may include checking vision and hearing, reviewing footwear, making homes safer and encouraging appropriate physical activity. Small changes can make a big difference.

LOOKING AHEAD

Helping people remain healthy and independent for as long as possible is becoming increasingly important for society.

Frailty is one of the major challenges but it is not an unavoidable consequence of ageing. Many of the steps that reduce the risk of frailty also improve health generally. While none of us can stop the ageing process, we can influence how well we age.

By adopting healthy habits and recognising frailty early, we can remain active, independent and enjoy a better quality of life.

SPOTTING SIGNS TO BEAT BOWEL CANCER

Young people have been warned not to ignore four key symptoms of bowel cancer, after statistics showed they are more likely than ever to die of the condition.

Between the early 1990s and 2018, the number of adults in Britain aged 25 to 49 being diagnosed with bowel cancer increased by 22%.

Routine screening for the disease starts at 50 but experts say warning signs can appear earlier and must be checked immediately. Bowel cancer is still

diagnosed more frequently in older adults and approximately one-in-17 men and one-in-20 women will develop the disease during their lifetime. Even so, diagnoses among younger people have continued to rise.

Key warning signs to look out for include:

Persistent changes in bowel habits: Constipation, diarrhoea, unusually narrow stools, or a lasting change in normal bowel habits may indicate an underlying problem. Some may

also feel as though the bowel has not emptied completely. These symptoms may develop when a tumour causes inflammation or partially blocks the bowel.

Recurring blood in the stool: Blood in the stool is a key bowel cancer warning sign, particularly when it appears more than once.

Changes in stool colour or appearance: This may provide additional clues. Bright red stool, dark or tarry stool, or mucus in the stool can be associated with bleeding in the gastrointestinal

tract, colon, or rectum. These changes do not always mean cancer is present, but they should be evaluated if they continue or recur.

Unexplained changes in overall health: Bowel cancer and other gastrointestinal conditions can cause symptoms that affect the entire body. Unexplained weight loss, persistent tiredness, weakness, reduced appetite, nausea, or vomiting may indicate an underlying medical problem and warrant a trip to the GP.

GARDEN STORAGE

THAT LOOKS THE PART

Garden storage doesn't have to be purely practical. With its attractive yellow wood-grain finish, this spacious 8x7ft metal shed combines generous storage with a warmer, more decorative appearance that complements a wide range of outdoor spaces. Whether positioned against a fence, wall, or within the garden, it offers a stylish way to keep everyday essentials protected and organised.

DESIGNED TO BLEND IN

The contemporary wood- grain finish gives this shed a softer, more natural look than a traditional metal building, while the pent roof allows it to sit neatly against walls and boundaries

to make the most of available space. Its clean design blends comfortably into both modern and traditional gardens.

ROOM FOR EVERYTHING

Inside, the generous interior provides plenty of space for gardening tools, watering cans, compost, pots, outdoor furniture cushions, and seasonal equipment. Wide double doors make loading larger items simple, while the lockable design and supplied keys help keep valuable belongings secure.

BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS

Constructed from zinc-coated steel cladding with a galvanised steel frame, this shed is designed

to withstand year-round weather while requiring very little maintenance. Integrated ventilation openings encourage airflow to help reduce moisture build-up and keep stored items in better condition throughout the seasons.

Combining generous capacity with attractive styling, this shed offers a practical storage solution that enhances rather than dominates your outdoor space. It's an ideal choice for anyone looking to keep their garden organised without compromising on appearance.

Wood-grain metal finish Several windows for natural light Lockable outward-opening double doors Two air vents improve airflow and reduce moisture Made from weather-resistant steel Self-assembly required: 2 people recommended Dimensions: H207 x W241 x D218 cm

TODAY'S TV ONES TO WATCH

by MIKE WARD TV critic

Pick of the day THE SKY AT NIGHT BBC4, 10PM

MARTIN AND ROMAN'S BUSH ROAD TRIP, C4, 8PM

WE'VE had Jack Whitehall and his father, Russell Howard and his mum, Bradley Walsh and his boy from Casualty – yes, these intergenerational road trips have become quite a thing. The bassist from Spandau Ballet and that bloke off The One Show are, of course, already an established dad-lad TV duo, but this is the first time we've seen them on their travels together (I think).

The slightly worthy subject matter – the legends, landscapes, mystery and history that shaped the people and culture of Ireland – actually gives this show more substance than most, so they needn't cram every minute with father-son banter.

EVOLUTION, BBC2, 9PM

DID YOU know a horse has 700 muscles? That, plus 'a heart the size of a football', says host Chris Packham, which I think sounds even more extraordinary. (Had he said 'size of a cauliflower', I don't think it would have conveyed the same level of drama).

Anyway, Chris starts this final episode, tracing the creature's evolution, by listing some of the most famous horses in history: 'Pegasus, Bucephalus, Champion, Trigger, Seabiscuit, Red Rum.' I was left wondering if the Trigger he's thinking of there is the one ridden by Roy Rogers or the one who pulled the milk cart of Ernie, the fastest milkman in the west.

BRIAN'S CAUGHT IN TANGLED WEBB

T MUST be exhausting at times, being a space expert. Especially if you're the sort who makes TV programmes, like our old friend Professor Brian Cox. Your head's full of all this fascinating information you can't wait to share with millions of viewers, and so with the BBC's blessing you go ahead and make wonderful series such as Solar System, The Planets and, most ambitious of the lot, Universe.

People like me then watch them and think: 'Wow, I'm learning so much about whatever it is that Brian is actually talking about.'

And then?

And then James Webb goes and messes it all up for you. Or, rather, his telescope does. You're familiar with the James Webb Space

Telescope, I take it? Launched five years ago, it's the biggest telescope in the whole of space (don't ask me how they know) and its job is to gawp at stuff out there that's older, further away or harder to spot than any of the stuff other telescopes have been able to gawp at.

Which is great, I'm sure, except for one little snag. Namely, it's been doing its job rather well and actually finding stuff. New, unexpected stuff that is.

On face value, I know that sounds fab. When Brian joins the team for this latest Sky At Night episode with Professor Chris Lintott, he'll certainly be telling us what an exciting breakthrough these new findings represent (hundreds of 'little red dots' containing 'huge black holes', since you ask). Apparently,

they've 'upended everything scientists thought they knew about black holes and the evolution of the universe itself'.

But if I were Professor Brian Cox, I'd be really miffed about that. The poor man has been working his socks off for years, making these epic series about what's out there and how it came to be. Is he going to have to scrap the lot and start again from scratch, all because some smarty-pants telescope has to be seen to be finding new information, to justify the $10 billion that was spent on it?

'Well, I've had a jolly good probe, like you asked me to do,' is all it needed to say, 'and, yep, nothing to report here, folks. Brian's got everything spot-on.'

'Apart from that haircut, obviously.'

TODAY: Monday August 10, 2026

ON THIS DAY

Crime surge imminent as wave of prisoners released

READING about the reaction from the Ministry of Justice to the public outcry over the early release of PC Andrew Harper's killers makes me seriously question the intelligence of the people running this country ("Danger if jail pressure is prioritised over threat", August 7).

Officials claim that keeping these criminals in prison could lead to "unchecked criminality" due to overcrowding. So, do they honestly believe that releasing thousands of offenders onto our streets and refusing to back police officers who risk their lives daily will not lead to an even greater surge in crime?

What planet are they on? Peter Beckley, Crawley, W Sussex

Send all foreign offenders home now to do their time

ONCE again, this Government is letting down the public. How can we justify giving early release to violent offenders because jails are overflowing ("Start building more jails...or face fury!", August 7)?

If a criminal is sentenced to 20 years, they should serve 20 years, and life should mean life. The system makes a mockery of victims whose lives were taken away; there is no second chance for them, yet their killers are granted one.

We should send foreign nationals currently occupying jail cells back to their own countries to serve their sentences. It would free up a substantial amount of capacity at no expense to the British taxpayer.

The police do an excellent job but are constantly let down by the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts. It must be heartbreaking for officers to see one of their own – PC Andrew Harper – made a sacrifice that is valued so little.

Shirley Whitaker, Swindon, Wilts

This is what happens when lunatics run the asylum

BEING brought up in the post-war years, I wonder what my loyal, Daily Express-reading parents would make of today's headlines.

On one hand, a brave police officer is dragged through the courts and faces dismissal for defending colleagues from a violent gangster. On the other hand, the government is prioritising which violent prisoners to release early onto our streets.

And families in a small village are told they must accommodate a massive immigration camp, while women are told they must police their own toilets and changing rooms against biological men. My parents would think the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Roy Daniels, Kingsclere, Hants

Why should villagers have to accommodate illegals?

THE 300 or so residents of Piddington protesting Home Office plans to move 1,250 asylum seekers to a nearby site have been told they will just have to change their lifestyle ("Village in the vanguard", August 6). Why should

LETTER OF THE DAY

Serial sex attacker Levy killed two women out on police bail

Why was evil sex predator freed to kill?

THE criminal charges accumulated by Simon Levy, despicable as they were, now appear to have been of little or no consideration when he had to further appear before the courts in order to answer to even more accusations? ("Sex predator let out to kill", August 8).

Given the seriousness of his previous crimes when he came before the courts, why was he still allowed to be released on bail, were there never any objections to bail being granted from the probation service, or indeed the police themselves?

The actions of the judiciary may be questionable in this particular case, had different decisions been taken could lives have possibly been saved?

Anthony Richardson, Sterling

their children be denied the use of the village playground right next to the proposed facility? Why shouldn't adults, especially women, still feel safe walking through their own village after dark, as they have done for decades?

Michael Locke, Gillingham, Kent

How many 'Walter Mittys' are there in academia?

GIVEN the total lack of scrutiny by Cambridge University on its appointment of Jason Arday, questions must be raised regarding their professional standards in validating previous high-profile hires ("Plagiarism row Prof quits post amid probe", August 6).

Are there even more "Walter Mittys" characters out there with flawed backstories? It now appears simple to invent qualifications and just hope for the best.

After all, even politicians in the highest offices have been caught smoothing over the factual accounts of their past careers.

Anthony Richardson, Sterling

Britain is led by clueless, unqualified politicians

I READ the Daily Express every day, and while it is full of detailed

political information and remains fair in its commentary, I have one pressing question.

Is it right that the politicians who speak on behalf of the public face zero professional prerequisites? How many actually have a degree in politics or governance?

It seems deeply concerning that individuals can run our country with absolutely no relevant formal qualifications whatsoever.

June Irwin, Chester

Burnham can't repeat the mistakes of Gordon Brown

ANDY Burnham frequently talks about the urgent need for northern re-industrialisation. If he is serious, North Sea oil expansion is the litmus test for his leadership ("PM told: 'time to act' as BP pulls out of North Sea", August 3).

There is also a strong environmental case for domestic oil as a high-quality feedstock, not a mere fuel. Green technologies like wind turbines, nuclear plants and modern railways rely heavily on oil products for maintenance. Without full expansion, Burnham risks being remembered like Gordon Brown – talking about a "fresh start" but failing on the practical details.

John Barstow, Manchester

Poor and elderly pay tax on supermarket essentials

ESTHER McVey makes a good point when she accuses the Government of empty rhetoric by suggesting they can easily stop supermarkets from "ripping off" the public ("I hope Healey has a short shelf-life", August 4).

Look at milk: six pints cost £2.40 (working out to 40p per pint), while a single pint is priced at 85p.

This pricing structure is deeply unfair to older and poorer people who live alone and cannot use or afford larger quantities. Someone is inflating these prices, and the public deserves to know who.

Frank Ferguson, Basildon, Essex

Can't wait for 'Dogfather' to take the lead on Strictly

I LOOK forward to seeing Graeme Hall on the Strictly dance floor this autumn ("Dancing training for 'Dogfather' Graeme", August 6). It is interesting that those taking part in the upcoming series are being referred to as "contestants" rather than "celebrities," given that Graeme is the only name on the line-up I have heard of so far.

Jenny Laing, Penrith, Cumbria

CHESTER ZOO HATCHES SOME 'EGGCELLENT' NEWS ON RARE CHICKS

WHAT a fantastic achievement by Chester Zoo. The news featuring the newborn secretarybird chicks truly brightened my day ("Behold, it's a magic chick!", August 6).

Congratulations to the zoo's dedicated staff for helping to boost the numbers of these remarkable, stately

birds. I hope that they can all be successfully integrated into a wider breeding programme once they reach full maturity.

In an increasingly cynical and harsh world, this long-awaited event really is a true feathered miracle.

Mary Windsor, Mansfield, Notts

54 years ago (1972) We reported that on-the-run IRA leader Martin Meehan, one of Ireland's most wanted men, was arrested – hiding behind a bedroom door as troops burst into a house during a gun battle in Belfast. More than 100 soldiers were used in a search operation following a tip-off. Meehan spent 18 years in jail during the Troubles and after his release became a leading member of Sinn Fein. He died in 2007.

115 years ago (1911) PM Herbert Asquith's Liberal Government passed the Parliament Act giving MPs an annual salary for the first time.

The legislation was intended to help working class MPs support themselves in a job previously only open to the wealthy. The salary was set at £400 a year.

36 years ago (1990) The US Magellan spacecraft arrived at Venus, after a 15-month journey, to begin mapping the planet's surface. Over the next four years it produced a detailed radar map of the planet and found evidence of volcanic activity across 85 per cent of Venus's surface. Magellan eventually burned up in the Venusian atmosphere in October 1994.

RUPERT AND THE ANGRY SEA No.13

"A fish!" gasps Rupert. "Goodness me!" It's been left stranded by the sea!

"There must be something I can do Yes! This pool's big enough for you."

Rupert steals up to the pool and peers in. To his surprise, he sees a big fish thrashing about in the shallow water. "Poor thing!" he cries. "It must have been stranded here by the sudden squall." Rupert decides to help the fish. The sea is too far out to risk carrying it to the water's edge, so he starts to look around for a bigger pool. As soon as he finds one he goes back to the fish and explains what he's about to do. To his surprise, it lets him lift it out of the water and carry it to the bigger pool, as if it understood every word.

A FOURTH instalment in the Bow Echo vs Gstaad show in France next Sunday has been cancelled.

Their next potential meeting was being scheduled in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville and Aidan O'Brien revealed yesterday his colt had sustained a cut in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood won by Bow Echo.

Gstaad has finished second three times to Bow Echo this season, in the 2,000 Guineas, St James's Palace Stakes and Sussex Stakes.

"He got galloped into in Goodwood and he got a little bit of an infection in his hind part from it," said O'Brien, right.

"We put him on antibiotics and with the antibiotics we put him on usually we'd be able to run him in seven days, but they had to give him an extra strong antibiotic because the cut was deep so it took 14 days, it wouldn't be out of his system in time.

"It will probably be the Moulin now before he runs."

At the Curraith yesterday, O'Brien won the 6f Group One National Stakes for the 18th time but for the first time with a filly

after Sun Goddess came from last to first under Ryan Moore.

"She could go to a Moyglaze, she could go to a Cheveley Park and she could go to America at the end if you wanted," said O'Brien.

In Germany, the Sir Mark Prescott-trained Tiffany ended a sequence of three seconds at Group One level in the Grosse Preis von Berlin, a race her trainer last captured with Alpinista, the year before she captured the 2022 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, now among the options for the Elite Racing-owned mare.

Prescott said: "Whether you get brave and go to America for the Breeders' Cup or you go brave and run in the Arc, I don't know, but you'll do something quite brave because she's done all the rest."

RAUL'S

A BRIT

SPECIAL

aprilia

RAUL FERNANDEZ insisted he made up for Saturday's error as he won yesterday's British MotoGP at Silverstone to claim his first victory of the season.

Having crashed out of Saturday's sprint, the 25-year-old Trackhouse rider redeemed himself in the main race, taking the chequered flag in 39mins 45.93secs. He became the 12th different winner in 12 British MotoGP races.

"I had as much fun out there as a child," said the Spaniard. "I'm very happy and I don't even know what to say, or how I feel.

"It was a brilliant weekend. It's true that I was angry on Saturday after my mistake – that was a bitter pill to swallow. But that's just part of the sport.

"As a human being, you're bound to make a mistake now and then – but I've made up for it now."

Starting second on the grid, Fernandez swiftly moved ahead of championship leader Jorge Martin and led at the end of all 20 laps.

Aprilia's Martin – the 2024 champion – recovered from a poor start to finish second, 2.538secs behind, extending his lead in the

overall standings to 31 points. Martin's team-mate Marco Bezzecchi held off Gresini Ducati's Alex Marquez to complete the podium, while Japan's Ai Ogura crashed out before the halfway point.

Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez suffered his worst weekend since returning from shoulder surgery in May as he finished seventh.

"The bike was working good, the tyre was working good. Just today I couldn't find a way to be better and that seventh position was something that already on paper we could expect," said Marquez.

"An optimistic result was top five, but we couldn't manage in the best way possible and we finished seventh."

Martin's second-place finish leaves him 31 points clear at the top of the standings with factory Aprilia team-mate Bezzecchi now Martin's nearest rival.

"The results here are a big boost of confidence for me and the team," said Martin.

"It seems like we found a bit of direction to get the momentum on our side now. The race was fantastic. I made a small mistake at the start, but I am glad I was able to fight back."

CRICKET METRO BANK ONE-DAY CUP

STOKES ON THE RAMPAGE

BEN STOKES made a quickfire 43 to help Durham to a 20-run victory over Essex in their Group B match at Darlington.

In a match reduced to 38 overs a side by early morning rain, Durham were put in to bat by Essex and fell to 30-3.

But former England captain Stokes (right) smashed 43 off 27 balls, including five fours and two sixes, before Colin Ackermann added an unbeaten 80 that helped them post 229-5.

Essex opener Noah Thain made 76 but the visitors lost the rest of their top order cheaply, and were bowled out for 209. Elsewhere, Jake Libby's fourth century in as many One-Day Cup outings was not enough for Worcestershire as

Glamorgan snatched a two-wicket victory off the last ball at Cardiff.

Group B leaders Middlesex eased to an 87-run win over Derbyshire on the back of a 156-run third-wicket partnership between Max Holden (65) and Ben Geddes (109).

Hampshire openers Ali Orr (105) and Ben Mayes (109) put on 225 for the first wicket in their 51-run win over Sussex.

A superb unbeaten 133 from Daniel Bell-Drummond powered Kent to a six-wicket win over Group A leaders Leicestershire to keep their hopes of progress alive. Nottinghamshire lost to Gloucestershire with five balls remaining despite captain Haseeb Hameed's 85.

ATHLETICS: EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

HOME FAVOURITE Heptathlete Denise Lewis

Lewis: UK in running for more contests

BY MILLY McEVOY DAME DENISE LEWIS hopes that the UK's first staging of the European Athletics Championships will lay the foundation for future events to be hosted in this country.

Former heptathlete Lewis is from the West Midlands and began her athletics career at this week's host venue, Birmingham's Alexander Stadium, with local club Birchfield Harriers.

She now serves as president of UK Athletics (UKA) - and the championships come hot on the heels of the news that UKA have submitted a bid to hold the World Athletics Championships in London in 2029.

Lewis said: "This is home, this is where the heart is.

"There was a spot not too far from here where I had my little cat naps before my training sessions.

"This track, this facility means the world to me.

"To see its evolution, its growth, and what we look out on today gives me a great sense of pride."

Lewis became the figurehead for British success on the track when she was crowned Olympic heptathlon champion in Sydney in 2000 and now she is aiming to shepherd in a new golden era for the sport.

The 53-year-old added: "Hopefully, there'll be one young person, maybe several, thinking, 'I'd like to be part of this'."

"And also volunteers, as we know the sport struggles with volunteers.

"We hope that people want to get involved at every level.

"For me, that would be the impact.

"That will be memorable and hopefully we can look forward to hosting even more championships."

QUEEN KEELEY IS READY TO RECLAIM HER CROWN

Britain's golden girl bids to bounce back when it matters most

ROUGH DIAMOND Winning in London, but Hodgkinson was outshone by Kerr record

BY PAUL MARTIN KEELY HODGKINSON is not used to playing second fiddle on the British or European athletics stage, but this summer it has arrived on two fronts.

Fellow Brit Josh Kerr has made history by breaking the 27-year-old Mile world record, while Switzerland's Audrey Werro has run the fastest 800m since 1983.

Yet, Hodgkinson remains the greatest athlete to have represented Britain since Sir Mo Farah and Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill - and this week she is ready to prove it again.

The European Athletics Championships open this morning in Birmingham and no duel will be more anticipated than Hodgkinson v Werro. Britain's golden girl - the Olympic 800m champion, the defending European 800m champion, the indoor 800m world record holder - began the summer with the aim of breaking Jarmila Kratochvilova's world record of 1min 53.28secs.

But at the Diamond League in Stockholm in June, Werro, 22, almost did just that as she outspripped Hodgkinson to win in 1:53.98. It was the third-fastest time in history on a day

when Hodgkinson herself moved to sixth on the all-time list as she broke her own national record with a run of 1:54.33. The Swiss star went even faster in Paris three weeks later with 1:53.80.

Then, last month, after Kerr grabbed the headlines with his sensational run at the Diamond League in London, Hodgkinson's first outdoor win of the season a matter of minutes later did not quite have the impact it might otherwise have done.

But what lies ahead this week at the Alexander Stadium is 'championship racing' and Hodgkinson is ready to show that there is no one better, as she proved in March when she won the World Indoor 800m crown in Torun as Werro took silver.

Hodgkinson said: "I back and believe in myself, always. The competition will just bring out the best of me.

"I love championship racing. It's very different to running on the circuit, there are no pacers or anything. It is all heart, grit and determination, getting through those rounds and running fast in the final. I'm happy with where I'm at.

"The last couple of weeks have been really good. Obviously I've had a couple of not-so great moments, like falling over [in training in July] and dumb stuff like that. But it happens, not everything

goes your way sometimes. The last few weeks have been really great and I'm excited."

The women's 800m final should be something special, with Hodgkinson and multiple 400m hurdles world champion Femke Broeders-Bol providing the main challenge against Werro.

The Swiss star said: "Right now, we really have a great depth in the 800m.

"I really like that. It is easier to achieve really fast times because we can push each other." But Werro urged caution on

whether a place in the history books beckons this week.

"I don't think it's the best place to do a world record because the goal is to win a medal," she added.

"I don't know if the race will be fast or if it will be a tactical race. I don't have the world record now in my head and my goal for the European championships is to get on the podium."

Movie-fan Amy's in the Hunt for medal haul

BY LAURA HOWARD

AMY HUNT is channelling the 'High School Musical' movie as she looks to win it all on home soil at the European Athletics Championships.

The British sprinter, 24, will compete in four events in Birmingham - the 100m, 200m and 4x100m women's and mixed relays - which will see her in action on five

days out of seven. And Hunt said: "To quote Sharpay Evans, 'I want it all'. It's important to be a complete sprinter and be competitive across the full 60, 100, 200 and relay.

"I've got a strict programme to recover, but I can't wait to get out there and experience the crowd as many times as possible." It is an approach she has taken at other

events, having claimed 100m silver at the Commonwealth Games two weeks ago in 10.98secs.

Hunt remains in search of her maiden major individual gold and will have to overcome British rival Dina Asher-Smith, among others, in this evening's 100m showpiece.

The event headlines the opening night in Birmingham at 9.50pm.

Jakob vows lack of prep won't be his Achilles heel

BY LAURA HOWARD JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN'S European dynasty looks more precarious than ever but the Norwegian insists he is ready. When the reigning European champion lines up to defend his 5,000m crown in Birmingham tonight, it will represent his first race of the season.

Ingebrigtsen has dominated middle-distance running for the past decade, having claimed every European 1500m and 5,000m title since 2018. But the 25-year-old had surgery on his Achilles tendon in February that has kept him out of action until now. "If you're waiting for the perfect

preparation, perfect conditions, perfect timing, you'll be waiting your whole life," he said. "Anyone who has watched me race over the years will know that competition is what drives me." And while Ingebrigtsen's dynasty might crack, the Championship record time set

by Great Britain's UK Athletics CEO Jack Buckner will be harder to depose. Buckner is overseeing the Championships' debut on British soil and his 13mins 10.15secs from Stuttgart 1986 taunts a field that will be focused on medals rather than times.

FOOTBALL: PREMIER LEAGUE COUNTDOWN

Bamford adds a sharp edge to Wilder's Blades

CARABAO CUP Mansfield 0 Sheffield United 3

SHEFFIELD UNITED eased into the second round of the Carabao Cup with a comfortable victory at League One Mansfield.

Chris Wilder's Championship outfit showed greater composure in front of goal to gain revenge for being dumped out of the FA Cup last season by the Stags.

Patrick Bamford, Mark McGuinness (inset) and Callum O'Hare were all on target to secure a place in the next round.

The Blades forged ahead in the fourth minute after midfielder Joe Rothwell had two shots blocked before skewing a third into the path of Bamford, who turned the ball past Harry Lewis from eight yards. Blades goalkeeper

Michael Cooper saved at the other end to keep out Frazer Blake-Tracy's volley.

After the break, Mansfield substitute Rhys Oates had an excellent chance to equalise but ran the ball out of play after rounding Cooper.

McGuinness put the outcome beyond doubt in the 71st minute when he met Sydie Peck's corner with a towering header.

And O'Hare found the roof of the net from four yards in the 89th minute after being tied up by Ryan One.

Blades boss Wilder said: "It's good for Patrick Bamford. I don't think he's scored in pre-season, he's done his own bits and pieces.

"Since he's been at the club he's been outstanding. His presence around the place, his finishing, he's not afraid to miss. I'm happy to work with him."

McInnes winless after mighty Wright strikes

SCOTTISH PREM

DEREK McInNES' wait for a first win in charge of Rangers goes on after his home debut ended in a 2-1 defeat to Hibernian.

The visitors took a 12th-minute lead via Josh Campbell's penalty after VAR spotted a foul from new signing Vanja Dragojevic on Jason Kerr, and Rangers' afternoon got worse when star striker Youssef Chermiti exited on a stretcher.

Rangers levelled through an 85th-minute own goal from Miguel Chaiwa, but Hibs substitute Callum Wright (inset) found the top corner with a superb strike in stoppage time.

That has left Rangers five points adrift of Celtic,

who routed Kilmarnock 5-1, including a hat-trick from new striker Kasper Hogh, to cheer recuperating manager Martin O'Neill.

Hogh scored three inside the first 35 minutes before Benjamin Nygren added a fourth soon after the break.

Michael Schjonning-Larsen got a consolation goal for Killie, but Luke McCowan had the final word for the champions. Hear's shook off a run of four straight defeats with a 4-0 rout of Dundee United.

Wouter Vrancken's first win as Jambos manager came courtesy of goals from summer signings Tom Renaud, Calvin Miller and Josh McPake, as well as a Claudio Braga effort.

Motherwell and Falkirk played out a goalless draw.

THEIR IS NO SALIDA LUNCH

Injured Gunner leaves big defensive boots to fill

BY RYAN TAYLOR AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM DO NOT read too much into pre-season friendlies - unless, of course, you are a defensive mess.

Less than two weeks out from their Premier League opener against newly-promoted Coventry, champions Arsenal are still getting warm.

But having now shipped three goals in consecutive defeats to Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund, it is becoming difficult to decipher whether this is merely ring rust or a glimpse into what life may really look like without William Saliba.

Context is crucial, because just over one year ago, the Gunners were stunned 3-2 at home by Villarreal in a similarly sketchy contest.

A clean sheet in a ruthless 3-0 demolition of Athletic Bilbao and one of the most memorable campaigns in the club's illustrious history then followed.

But it can also be true that Arsenal currently look fortunate that none of their direct rivals, outside of Tottenham, have drastically strengthened to date.

While they remain firm favourites to retain their crown, their backline just is not clicking in the absence of imperious Frenchman Saliba, and there is an alarming lack of defensive depth. Ben White (inset), who

ARSENAL 2 DORTMUND 3 Radio 7, Karelian 2X, Galax 58

managed just 12 top-flight appearances last term, is back following his MCL injury, but Arsenal are currently placing great faith in his fitness record with Jurrien Timber sidelined.

The Gunners were sliced apart for Dortmund's opener inside seven minutes and then exposed again as Konstantinos Karetsas, a prodigy Arsenal tracked last summer, bent home admirably.

Then just moments after Ethan Nwaneri handed Arsenal a lifeline, the hosts were undone via a chaotic set-piece.

A versatile defender should now be among Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta's top transfer priorities. And another injury and the narrative quickly changes.

The World Cup was gruelling for all parties, on all levels.

The tournament was brutal on body clocks, a mental slog and that is without even considering the actual physical toll of the participating players' workload on the back of a long domestic campaign.

Arsenal, arguably more so than any other Premier League club, need to manage their stars carefully from here on in. The

champions went deep in all four competitions last term, while Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel and Saliba were all managing varying degrees of pain.

The latter ultimately paid the price for his bravery, but Arteta cannot afford to witness Rice or Gabriel, in particular, break down this season as they are just too important to their Premier League title defence.

Perhaps it is naive to perceive there will not be consequences somewhere along the line, which underlines the importance of strong recruitment by Berta.

Bruno Guimaraes' £75m arrival - the Brazilian midfielder was presented to the Emirates crowd before kick-off - will help protect Rice's conditioning.

Sufficient defensive cover is also required and with just over three weeks left of the transfer window, there is still work to do.

Guimaraes, now likely to debut against Como on Wednesday after watching on from the stands, is unquestionably a top acquisition, but Arteta's left flank - one key area where there was scope for improvement - is not conclusively better than it was last season, despite Christos Tzolo's eye-catching start to life in North London.

Next weekend's Community Shield collision with Manchester City in Cardiff should represent a strong yardstick as to where Arsenal are really at.

Losing that fixture would not be ideal preparation for Coventry.

Art's hunt for more

FROM BACK PAGE that Arsenal's summer recruitment may not end with Guimaraes, with a striker and a centre-back potential arrivals.

"Well, that's what we're trying to do," said Arteta. "If we have the right player in the market to make us much better, we are really looking forward to time."

Outside of crooked centre-back William Saliba, as of Arsenal's remaining World Cup stars are due back in training today.

Arteta, whose side face Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday, cannot provide a timeline on when Saliba will be back, while Jurrien Timber is still "weeks away" from a return despite upping his recovery from a minor procedure on his groin.

On Saliba, he said: "For two weeks, he had to do almost nothing basically to not aggravate the injury.

"It's going to take some time to heal."

LIVERPOOL 2 MONACO 3

Goodwill 4/5 in. March 56, Brunei 88

BY PAUL GORST IF Andoni Iraola is to enjoy success as Liverpool's head coach, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz must deliver on the club's enormous investment.

So this – in the Basque's first taste of Anfield in his new role – was a more than encouraging 45 minutes for the duo.

Goals from both players in the first half were the main positives from what is the first of two pre-season friendlies here before the Premier League starts, but it was more than that.

It is still early days for Isak and Wirtz as a partnership given how

little they were able to get on the field together last season under Arne Slot.

But there were enough flashes to suggest the £24/million duo can showcase why they are first and second on Liverpool's list of most expensive players.

Isak took his goal with the sort of class that must become routine. The Sweden international's controversial move from Newcastle last summer hugely impacted his debut campaign in red. The four-month absence with a broken leg didn't help either.

But the way he controlled Ryan Gravenberch's pass – which came to him at an awkward height – before turning and finishing past Lukas Hradecky was a timely reminder of his gifts. The No.9

was then pushing for a second when Wirtz made the most of the chaos during a goalmouth scramble to double Liverpool's advantage.

Isak tried to claim the finish as his own when he swiped at the ball while on the floor. The

clubrous goals panel will have to settle that one.

Wirtz's troubles were not as pronounced as Isak's last season but the Germany international did not meet the expectations of a £11/6m playmaker. He has looked reimaginated so far with Iraola, however.

Monaco grabbed a foothold when Aleksandr Golovin dribbled into the area before captain Virgil van Dijk fouled him on his

return to club duty. The Russia captain scored the resulting penalty before half time.

And the Ligue 1 side levelled after the restart when Giorgi Mamardashvili was unable to make a second save after initially stopping Mika Biereth.

For the second Sunday in a row, defensive fraillies cost Iraola's team as they threw away a two-goal lead.

Substitute Paris Brunner (left) headed in the winner for Monaco from a corner.

The impending arrival of on-loan Ronald Araujo from Barcelona simply has to provide the necessary quality to help out the centre-back department.

STRIKER NEAR HIS PEAK FITNESS

IV JAM BOYLE ALEXANDER ISAK believes he is now approaching peak fitness as he printed the spirit in the Liverpool squad under new head coach Andoni Iraola.

Isak was on target as the Rees continued their pre-season preparations with a frustrating 3-2 reverse at home to Monaco. He was

among a host of Liverpool players to be replaced on the hour-having featured for 45 minutes against Leeds in the United States the previous weekend.

And of his extended run-out, the striker said: "It was good. Really nice to be back at home. Back in front of the fans and get some more minutes into the legs –

that felt good. I think we agreed me and Flo (Florian Wirtz) for the second goal).

"We both got a touch on the ball, but honestly I don't know who got the first one or the last one. It felt like it was on the ball, but I don't really know.

"I feel good. Every game, hopefully, should take me to a better fitness level. That is

what I am working towards. That is what pre-season is for, it is fun something."

Iraola told LFC TV his new charges are still yet to get fully up to speed. He said: "We cannot sustain the level that we want for all the game. As soon as we have made some changes they start to get tired. So we have work to do."

City are looking to bring in Ayyoub Bouaddi, 18, from Lille, and are also intent on replacing Rodri, 30, or any

other midfielder that wishes to depart should their valuation be met.

On the pitch, there were more signs in Seoul that things are beginning to take shape under boss Enzo Maresca as City beat Atletico Madrid 3-1.

Dominguez, 16, put the Spaniards ahead but Antoine Semenyo set up two goals for Omar Marmoush (left) before Rayan El-Nouri sealed the inn in injury time.

SHEA DELIGHT

FULHAM have agreed a £30million package to sign Shea Charles from Southampton.

It will make Charles, 22, Northern Ireland's most expensive footballer.

The Cottagers have had the midfielder as a key target throughout the window despite interest from Leeds, who failed with three bids.

As well as an initial fee of £26m for the former Manchester City youth team player, Southampton have also included a sell-on clause in the deal.

Charles (right) is expected to have a medical today before completing the move.

Skipper Essugo is so happy to lead the way

DARIO ESSUGO admitted being named Chelsea captain came as a surprise but the midfielder is determined to keep improving.

Essugo led the team out in Malaysia as Chelsea ended their Asian tour with a 3-3 draw with Johor Darul Ta'zim.

Xabi Alonso fielded largely a second- string XI with Essugo, 21, captaining the side, having ended

LUC IS BACK

FRANCE defender Lucas Digne has completed his return to Paris Saint-Germain from Aston Villa on a three-year contract.

The full-back, 33, who featured in six of Les Bleus' World Cup matches, had two years left on his Villa Park contract, with PSG triggering a release clause of about £7 million.

Digne, who spent four years at Everton before moving to Villa in 2022, made 30 Ligue 1 appearances in a three-year spell at PSG until 2016, when he moved on to Barcelona. He said: "I am very honoured to be returning to PSG. I can't wait to start this new chapter."

BY TYRONE MARSHALL THEY might both be Brazilian, and both have Manchester United on their CV.

But, on the surface, there is not much else that Andrey Santos has in comparison with Casemiro.

United splashed out up to £70 million on a 30-year-old Casemiro in 2022, signing a midfielder with a glittering resume and five Champions League titles to his name after a glorious spell at Real Madrid.

Santos is eight years younger than Casemiro was when he arrived at Old Trafford. He has joined from Chelsea, where he struggled to gain first-team opportunities.

And although he has six caps for Brazil, he did not make their World Cup squad this summer.

The switch from Casemiro four years ago to Santos now is indicative of the change in transfer strategy at United, and the £50m paid to Chelsea for the 22-year-old is seen as good business for the future. Santos has

his best years ahead of him and recruitment chiefs at Old Trafford liked the data on him and the scouting reports. Although it is only pre-season, he has looked the part so far.

Santos has started all four friendlies and caught the eye again in Gothenburg on Saturday, controlling the midfield in a 1-1 draw with back-to-back European champions Paris Saint-Germain.

And he has backed himself to be the man to replace Casemiro, having arrived at the club alongside Youn Tielemans as part of an £85m midfield rebuild.

Santos said: 'Casemiro for me, it's like a legend, you know. So now he's gone out. Now I'm here, so I feel that I can do like Casemiro did in the last season and I'm here to do it.'

'My qualities, I like and prefer playing deeper, like a No.6. So I try help my team-mates without the ball and with the ball, I love breaking the lines.' Santos' desire to play as a No.6 will be music to head

coach Michael Carrick's ears. He was considered an all-rounder at Chelsea but United need players to sit deep in Carrick's 4-2-3-1, although the focus this summer has shifted to midfielders with a high-level technical ability as well.

He found opportunities hard to come by at Chelsea, with Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez the clear first-choice midfielders at Stamford Bridge, but is delighted to have made the leap to Old Trafford.

'I was so happy [when United showed their interest],' he said. 'The moment when my agent called me, I told my wife, and she said, 'Yeah, we have to go.'

'And of course, Manchester United are so big, I'm so happy to be here, and I want to win every single game and every single trophy possible. I know Chelsea is a big club

as well. But now Chelsea is gone, here is my home right now.

'I want to be here for a long, long time and win so many trophies.'

Santos joins a team that finished third in the Premier League last season but face the extra demand of a return to the Champions League this term.

But Carrick (left) has set his sights on winning something and the £50m new boy has his eyes on silverware as well.

'When I talk about Manchester United, we talk about winning,' said Santos.

'We have to work hard every single day to try to win every single trophy possible.'

And as an individual, I have my goals and I hope that I can work with my team-mates with my goals and hope to win some trophies.

RASHFORD'S RETURN

FROM BACK PAGE

he made his debut, so we have a history. We've got a full squad this week in Dublin.

'We fly atralight there and have a few days where we have the whole group back together Marcus is part of that,' said Kobbie Marino and Lisandro Martinez. We look forward to seeing them.'

Rashford remains United's top earner on more than £300,000 a week, and, unless a top European club make a

suitable offer he will stay at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, the Reds are negotiating with Leicester over a deal for Louis Page.

The attacking midfielder, in, was expected to play a big part in the Foxes' League Cup tomorrow, but he has also been linked with Arsenal and Aston Villa.

United are in the middle of a midfield overhaul, and they want a third option to join fellow new boys Andrey Santos and Youn Tielemans.

FROM THE CHALLENGE OF THE EAGLE TOWN OF THE LADEN ROAD

WISS LIST A productive pre-season was just what Yoane Wissa wanted

Wissa singing a new Toon after injury-hit spell

BY ROSS GREGORY and LEE RYDER NEWCASTLE striker Yoane Wissa insists there is more to come after finally putting his injury issues behind him.

Wissa's misery started just days after signing in a £55 million deadline-day move from Brentford last season.

The forward injured his knee on duty with DR Congo and did not feature until December.

When he did return, despite bagging a couple of goals in his early appearances, he looked short of fitness and for the majority of the remainder of the campaign he was unable to make any real impact.

There were signs, however, in the last few weeks of the season that he was starting to regain some of the form that persuaded the Magpies to stump up such a huge sum.

That upturn continued in this summer's World Cup with DR Congo, where he scored three goals.

And he now hopes to keep catching the eye of new manager Matthias Jaissie after his super-sub performance against Valencia on Saturday saw him score both goals in their 2-1 win.

Wissa said: 'After a tough season for me, physically and mentally, the World Cup - especially playing with my national team - has been good.

'So now new manager, new Yoane Wissa. That's what I hope.

'I'm going to help the team achieve something great this season.' The 29-year-old's stats have

been 'off the chart' since he returned from his World Cup exploits, with backroom staff and performance analysts delighted by his fitness.

Wissa himself admits that this pre-season is huge for him after his injury a year ago, and the lack of training he had before joining Newcastle as he pushed for a move from the Bees.

He added: 'First, the body needs that, you need to run hard and feel sharp, and also find the team-mates and create something.

'So I didn't have that last season and of course when you come and just arrive, a big injury like this is really tough.

'But the past is the past, so I'm just looking forward now to this season. Hopefully as I said I will be a part of the team and try to help the team as much as I can.'

Defender Malick Thiaw, 25, was handed the armband against Spain's Valencia in the wake of Bruno Guimaraes' £75m move to Arsenal.

The Brazilian, Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Kieran Triguer have all left St James' Park this summer.

And Thiaw said: 'All of these players are great players and great leaders.

'Of course, they will be missed, but we have a great team now.

'Players have to step up. We all have new roles now, and it's a good challenge for us.

'We have a lot of quality and potential. 'It's sometimes how football works, you have to turn the page. We have a good team still, and we can achieve something.'

'Manchester United are so big, I want to be here for a long time and win so many trophies'

Arteta said: "I'm delighted to have him. Why? Well, we see very clearly, especially the energy that he brought immediately to the training ground.

"The hunger, the desire to come here and create a big history of the club and that ambition that we need.

Rashford

is back in Reds fold

BY SAMUEL MEADE

MANCHESTER UNITED have handed Marcus Rashford the No.14 shirt for the new season in the biggest hint yet that he will be part of head coach Michael Carrick's plans.

The forward (below) has just returned to Old Trafford following his loan at Barcelona, who opted against signing him on a permanent deal.

Prior to that he had been on loan at Aston Villa after being frozen

out by former Reds boss Ruben Amorim.

In his spell away,

Rashford's No.10 shirt was given to Brazil star Matheus Cunha. But the 28-year-old is now back in the fold at United and has been given the No.14 shirt vacated by Christian Eriksen.

Carrick confirmed that Rashford - who has had an extended break following his involvement with England at the World Cup - would be back ahead of their pre-season trip to Dublin, where United will play Leeds on Wednesday.

Carrick said: "I've played with him. I played in the game.

1066... THE YEAR

THAT MADE BRITAIN

ORIST

IT WAS ENGLAND'S

EXCLUSIVE

By Prof Tom Licence

AT 9am, Saturday October 14, 1066, King Harold II of England stood ready to defend his country against the Norman invader Duke William. Before the day was out, Harold's army was in pieces – literally. The lower border of The Bayeux Tapestry is strewn with severed limbs and heads.

A foreign duke who had never before mounted an invasion by sea had assembled an army from across northern France and butchered the ruler of the most powerful kingdom in the North Sea world. Some said he had slain Harold by his own hand. The old England was ended. A new England was born and, with it, a new royal family.

William's intention had been to cross to Portsmouth, march north and seize the treasury at Winchester. But storms in the Channel had blown his fleet eastwards, forcing him to cross to Pevensey and set up camp at Hastings, on the Sussex coast.

In those days, the coastline was very different. Hastings was the tip of a peninsula and a ridge of high ground, with rivers and marshland on either side. The exit point, where William's troops could break out onto the road system, was at a place called Sandlake. Today, it's known as Battle, with the abbey marking the site where the battle was fought. Harold Godwinson was in Yorkshire in late September, fighting off the vikings under Harold Hardrada, king of Norway, and his own treacherous brother Tostig. Catching the enemy divided and without armour, he pulled off a stunning victory at the battle of Stamford Bridge.

By the end of the day's fighting, on September 25, Harold Hardrada and Tostig were bloody corpses on the field. England's victorious king then turned south, "bearing great plunder", probably in ships which he took to London. Meanwhile, on September 28, William landed in England and soon set up camp on the Hastings cliftops.

Harold heard the news, if not in the north, on his arrival in London. Consulting his generals, he devised a plan to contain the invader in the peninsula.

Dispatching his fleet around the coast to prevent William's escape by sea, he rode to Sussex at the head of an army and took up position north of Sandlake.

TROOPS were arriving all the time to join him, answering the summons, and Harold hoped that enough shires would turn out to give him the numbers he needed. Intelligence was paramount, and both commanders used spies. William scouted the terrain in person. He learned of the fleet which Harold had sent to blockade his own, and he foiled a night attack which Harold organised the night before the battle.

According to one writer, the Normans stood vigilant and said their prayers while the English drank and made merry. But Harold was no fool. When dawn broke on Saturday 14, William knew he would soon be hemmed in. If he stayed in his camp, waiting for reinforcements – for not all his ships had arrived – Harold's fleet would be upon him, while the flow of troops to the king's banner would only continue. As the ruler of the

invaded land, Harold – unlike William – had vast reserves of men to summon. From now on, Harold's position could only grow stronger. Yet for a very brief window his forces were still gathering.

It was in that window that William had to strike. Marching out at dawn (between 6.30am and 7am), the Normans advanced along the ridge towards the king's army, covering the six miles in time to join battle at the third hour.

English writers, excusing the English defeat, claimed that Harold hadn't had time to marshal all his troops. Nevertheless, Harold had the advantage of the terrain, seizing the brow of a hill blocking the exit

road from the Hastings peninsula, with rough or marshy ground to either side, and woods providing cover.

With good quality troops in mail, armed with spears, swords and axes, and a few archers and light troops, he stood on the defensive, buying time for reinforcements to arrive. Though medieval armies were small, Harold and William's would have been larger than most, at least in the low thousands, and possibly larger than that.

William had a greater variety of troops – numerous archers and crossbowmen, cavalry and infantry, but the terrain placed them at a disadvantage. Cavalry were of little use charging uphill on rough ground against a

shield wall, with its flanks in the woods. The next several hours saw the duke experimenting with various tactics in attempts to break the English line and dislodge his royal opponent, who stood behind it with his banner of The Fighting Man, which depicted an armed warrior woven in gold.

At first, William placed his archers in front, ordering his crossbowmen to aim at the enemy's faces. The English may not have faced crossbows before, with bolts that flew through shields and armour to skewer the bodies behind.

Next, he drew up his main bodies of foot and cavalry, placing Bretons on his left, Normans in the centre, and other French on

DAY OF DESTINY

ONE IN THE EYE FOR ARROW THEORY!

THE man on the Tapestry with an arrow in his eye may be the most famous image in English history. But when drawings were made of the Tapestry in the 18th century, they showed him as a man wielding a spear.

In 1983, the back of the Tapestry was examined. The original stitch-holes were found, confirming that the object in his hand had once been longer and without fletching (the feathers having been added in the 19th century). The angle of the man's head had also been altered.

Stories of Harold being struck in the head or eye by an arrow were circulating before the end of the 11th century, but the earliest account of his death - written by Bishop Guy of Amiens in 1067 or 1068 - describes how he was cut down by four knights, one of whom was Bishop Guy's nephew. The first, Duke William, speared him through his shield and mail, releasing a gush of blood.

The second hacked off his head. The third disembowelled him, and the fourth cut off his privates and rode off brandishing the trophy. William of Poitiers, a Norman writer using Guy's account in the 1070s, remained silent as to what Guy said, neither confirming nor denying it.

But he did write that Harold's body was mutilated beyond recognition.

The flurry of blows inflicted in the red mist of battle recalls accounts of Richard III's death at Bosworth in 1485 - accounts now confirmed by the numerous wounds discovered on Richard's skeleton. As for Harold, his remains ended up at Waltham Holy Cross, (now Waltham Abbey, in Essex) where - presumably - they lie somewhere to this day.

his right. Steeling themselves against showers of projectiles, they clashed with Harold's battle-line, hacking and thrusting against a wall of the English packed so densely that the dead had no room to fall.

After hard fighting, the Bretons broke and fled, pursued by Harold's right flank.

The Normans then tricked more of the English into giving chase by feigning a second flight. Earl Gyrth and Earl Leofwine, Harold's brothers, were killed in the melee.

One writer describes how William, raging like a lion, tore Gyrth limb from limb. The duke allegedly slew another English warrior by cutting him up under his mail and spilling his entrails from his groin. William's men

were dying too, in large numbers. Many came to grief in a gully, assaulting one of Harold's flanks. Each man lost was costly to an invader, so William decided to use up stocks of arrows instead.

IN THE border of the Tapestry, a row of archers begins to form, and shields and bodies begin bristling with arrows in the action above. Massed densely on the narrow hillside, the English were an easy target. Softening them up, the duke seized his moment to lead an elite cohort on horseback

and punch through. As the invaders swarmed through the English line, fierce fighting erupted around the royal banner on the hilltop. In later years, the spot was levelled to make way for the abbey church and high altar, marking the spot where the king of England fell.

The Tapestry is alive with movement here, as galloping knights fly at the English standard and the spear-wielding housecarls - elite military retainers of the king - who defend it to the death. They close in on Harold's command centre, and not even his non-combatant ministers are spared.

Harold was unlucky that day. Death might just as well have come for William. Horses

had been killed under him, and the rumour had gone around that he was dead. It had been a well-matched battle. Had it gone the other way, Harold would have been remembered as the king who had seen off the Vikings and the Normans - England's greatest warrior. Instead, William triumphed, Harold was killed, and the England he and his army had fought for fell to foreign invaders.

MORE than one million visitors will see the Bayeux Tapestry when it is unveiled in the British Museum next month by Emmanuel Macron and King Charles. What has been dubbed the exhibition of the century will give Britons the only chance in their lifetime to see an artwork that tells so much of the nation's history on home soil. Some 300 people an hour will shuffle through the Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery where the 70-metre-long masterpiece has been installed with just centimetres to spare.

British Museum director Nicholas Cullinan admitted: "It's an incredible responsibility, an incredible obligation, and we feel so lucky to be able to look after it for a year." The museum hopes the display will prove as popular as its Tutankhamun exhibition, which drew record numbers of visitors in 1972 and the signs are promising.

Such was the demand that some visitors waited in online queues for hours to get early entry tickets in scenes more reminiscent of the Glastonbury Festival.

The first batch, up to December, sold out within 24 hours. But the museum is confident that everyone who wants to visit the Tapestry – thought to have been made in Canterbury, quite possibly by English nuns – should be able to see it over the 305 days it's on display after its opening on September 10. And the wait will undoubtedly be worth it.

The first attempt to bring the Tapestry back to Britain occurred in 1953 when the Victoria & Albert Museum requested a loan to mark the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. An agreement was drawn up and plans were made to transport the Tapestry via Southampton docks under armed guard. However, fears over its fragile condition saw the decision reversed.

Informal talks began again in 1966 ahead of the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, but it wasn't until 2018 that French President Macron agreed in principle to the loan. This kick-started years of negotiations – involving four British Prime Ministers – conservation studies and designs for the display of the Tapestry before agreement could finally be reached.

Macron also saw off a campaign against the loan in his country and Keir Starmer's government agreed to the Treasury's backing of indemnity cover for up to £800 million of damage in the event of a disaster.

Michael Lewis, lead curator of the exhibition, admitted he first raised the possibility of bringing it over with his French counterparts on the Bayeux Tapestry scientific committee in 2013.

"They looked at me like, 'Well that's a nice idea Michael, but it won't be possible because the Tapestry is so fragile,' he recalled. 'I spent many years afterwards sounding like a broken record, raising the idea again and again.'"

NICHOLAS Cullinan said agreement was finally reached this time as part of a "proper cultural exchange". The British Museum will lend treasures including objects from the Sutton Hoo ship burial and the Lewis chessmen to museums in Normandy in return. And what followed must rank as one of the most complex operations ever staged to transport a piece of priceless art.

A helicopter escort formed part of the French security operation as the Tapestry was moved by road from a secret storage facility in Normandy where it has been kept since the Bayeux Museum closed for renovations. A previous plan to use a special train was dismissed as bringing unnecessary attention but the logistics alone still cost £1.2 million.

There were two dry runs for the Tapestry's first trip out of France for nearly 1,000 years to check for damaging vibrations along the

THIS IS HISTORY FACE-TO-FACE

By Dame Mary Beard

I VISITED the Bayeux Tapestry in France more than 30 years ago. It was absolute magic. To be honest I hadn't been expecting much.

I thought I'd seen in history books all the best bits (like the famous scene where King Harold gets shot in the eye by an arrow) and that the original wouldn't add very much. I was wrong.

Very old objects speak to you in a different way when you see them face to face. The real thing is never the same as what you get in a book.

Size is one thing. The Tapestry is simply enormous, 70 metres in length (the case that has been built for it at the British Museum is the biggest museum case anywhere in the world).

Just imagine the time and effort of those women, probably in Canterbury, embroidering night and day – reluctantly, perhaps, making a record of the English defeat by the Normans that would survive almost a thousand years, and counting. It's hard not to feel close to them.

And every scene springs surprises. There are marvellous small figures and fantasy creatures in the border, and undisguised scenes of the violence of battle (including one in which a woman and child flee from a burning building set alight by a pair of menacing Normans).

Even the famous scene of Harold with an arrow in his eye packs a bigger punch in real life.

(There is, I should say, some scholarly dispute about whether this victim of the arrow really is the king himself, but – whatever the experts decide – he will always be Harold for me).

I hope I'm not being too much of a softy when I say that I feel a bit emotional that the Tapestry is coming home, if only for a year's "holiday".

I almost cried when I saw that the British Museum had projected a section of the Tapestry onto the White Cliffs of Dover, with the word "MERCI".

Thank you everyone.

EMBROIDERING THE TRUTH: FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT BAYEUX TAPESTRY

1: It isn't actually a tapestry: Despite its famous name, it's technically an embroidery, not a tapestry. Tapestries are created by weaving coloured threads directly into the fabric on a loom, whereas the Bayeux Tapestry consists of coloured wool yarn hand-stitched onto eight jointed strips of plain-woven linen. 2: It features one of the earliest depictions of Halley's Comet: In one scene, a crowd points up in awe at a blazing star with a trailing tail – Halley's Comet, which passed through the sky in April 1066. King Harold is shown trembling on his throne, as the comet was widely interpreted as an ominous sign foretelling his defeat. 3: It was made in England, not France: Although named after the French town where it is preserved, most historians believe it was commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux (William the Conqueror's half-

brother) and embroidered by English artisans in Kent. 4: The ending is missing: The embroidery stretches roughly 70 metres (230 feet), but the final panel ends abruptly right after the Battle of Hastings scene. It's estimated that two to three metres are missing from the end – possibly depicting William the Conqueror's triumphant post-battle coronation at Westminster Abbey. 5: The edges are packed with 'Easter Eggs': Above and below the main narrative, decorative borders are filled with more than 600 animals, mythical beasts, scenes from Aesop's Fables, and surprisingly bawdy figures (several showing their penises). In the lower border during battle scenes, the artisans also depicted fallen soldiers, scavengers and looted armour.

were rolled back into the display case and the "Miniclima" devices controlling humidity inside were reconnected. There it will remain until the end of the exhibition on July 11 next year.

MILLIE Horton-Insch, an embroidery expert who helped curate the exhibition, said seeing the Tapestry displayed at its full length would "blow people's minds". It has previously been displayed in a horseshoe shape at its Bayeux Museum home in Normandy. "I think it will capture the monumentality of it," she added.

Each exhibition slot is 40 minutes long but, according to museum chairman George Osborne, some "clever exhibition features" will encourage people to keep moving and hopefully prevent snarl ups. With anticipation building, there is little doubt the exhibition represents the most sought-after cultural event of the year – if not the decade.

348-mile route. The anonymous yellow lorry carrying the treasure, folded into a climate-controlled aluminium crate then placed in an outer cage with metal springs to absorb vibrations and protected by armed officers, was reportedly searched for illegal migrants before crossing the Channel on Le Shuttle.

Thankfully, the journey from Bayeux to Calais through the tunnel to Folkestone, where officers from Kent Police took over security, and on to London was seamless, according to its organisers.

Finally, the Tapestry arrived at the British Museum in Bloomsbury, central London, on July 10 at 2.48am accompanied by two police cars and the French ambassador – reversing into a loading bay to the rear of the museum in front of the world's press.

Handlers wheeled out a metal crate on a pallet containing the travelling case used to bring it from France before letting it acclimatise for a week. It had, after all, been

in France since having been created near Canterbury in the 1070s.

Then, over 18 painstaking hours in a 27-stage process, 100 French and British curators, conservators and museum staff removed the 70m-long tapestry. Static-free polyester sheets were moved by up to six people as they covered and uncovered segments of the 58-scene embroidery which features 626 characters (just six of whom are women).

A dummy Tapestry had even been used to train staff in advance of the arrival of the real thing! Stijn Verstraete, creator of the £2million watertight, hammer-proof and climate-controlled display case in which it will go on show, described the painstaking

operation as "a piece of choreographed performance art". The foldable "paravent" that had enabled it to be concertinaed for its trip was first unfolded along the length of the gallery. Then the Tapestry was transferred to a lowered pulley and aligned with the moveable "tables" of the specially-created display case.

This case is made up of 25 separate modules – each weighing the same as a family hatchback – which together form one hermetically sealed unit. With the help of clips, trusses, rails and winches, the Tapestry was then unhooked from the beam and placed on its display board. After the smoothing of all the "bellies" – as the bumps and wrinkles in the cloth are known – the "tables"

ENGLAND AND NORMANDY HAD ENJOYED LINKS BEFORE 1066

There were relationships through marriage between some of the leading aristocratic families. Edward the Confessor had invited a few Normans to settle in England, especially on the Herefordshire border with Wales. But after the Battle of Hastings, William became King of England and remained Duke of Normandy, so he had to divide his time looking after his new kingdom and keeping an eye on his duchy, which was coming under pressure from the king of France, technically his overlord. The joint ownership of England and Normandy continued through the rest of the 11th century and right through the 12th century but fell apart at the start of the 13th century when King John lost control of Normandy to the King of France who annexed it as part of France.

HOW DID THE NORMANS CHANGE THE SOCIAL FABRIC?

Within a generation, English landowners had been replaced by followers of William. That's why their takeover is more comprehensive and permanent than the Vikings before them. Today's aristocracy is descended largely from Norman landowners rather than Saxons. In the lower levels of society, people of English origin continued to thrive and survive but, within a single generation at the very top, all of those people changed. And not just secular society either but the church too with Saxon bishops replaced by Norman bishops.

WERE THERE POCKETS OF REBELLION?

People did fight on and this explains why many Norman castles were built. There were some quite big rebellions in the three years or so following the invasion and William had to go north in 1069 to deal with them. On the way, he founded castles in places like Nottingham and Warwick and, when he arrived in York, which was the centre of the rebellion, he founded one there too. You get something similar in the West Country in 1068 when there's another rebellion centred on Exeter and William lays siege for 18 days. The rebellions were all stamped out – sometimes very violently.

WHAT WAS THE HARRYING OF THE NORTH?

This followed William's military expedition to York between 1069 and 1070 – a series of campaigns against the last Wessex claimant to the English throne, Edgar, who was encouraging Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Scandinavian and Danish rebellions. Today it would be known as ethnic cleansing – putting settlements to the torch, moving people around and laying waste to hundreds of square miles. It was an incredibly violent time but it eventually put down the rebellions.

ENGLAND CHANGED IRREVOCABLY

As little as 20 years after the invasion, England had changed. We had castles for instance. Previously there had been fortifications, towns with walls built to withstand the Vikings, but now we had strongholds with proper defensive capabilities and perimeter defences that could withstand sieges. These motte-and-bailey castles – essentially a raised earthen mound (motte) topped by a wooden and later stone keep and enclosed courtyard (the bailey), surrounded by a protective ditch or palisade – dominated the landscape around them, as they were meant to do. They were a visible sign of Norman power.

CHRISTIANITY PROSPERED

Christianity had existed in all parts of England from the end of the 6th century but even your big Saxon churches were quite small in comparison to the vast Norman places of worship that William began building. In Bury St Edmunds for instance,

This York landmark, below, was established by William in 1068 when he marched north to suppress a rebellion against his rule. The motte-and-bailey castle saw several violent incidents during its early years, including further revolts and an attack by Danish invaders. As the political situation settled in the 1070s, damage was repaired and the castle probably survived relatively unaltered through most of the 12th century. Rebuilt in stone by Henry III in the mid-13th century as war with Scotland loomed, it recently reopened to visitors – its roof platform gives incredible 360-degree views over the city of York and beyond.

CARISBROOKE CASTLE, ISLE OF WIGHT

Originally the site of an Anglo-Saxon fortification to protect against Viking raids, Carisbrooke, left, was built shortly after the Conquest.

TREMENDOUS TRIP BACK IN TIME TO THESE EXTRAORDINARY NORMAN FORTIFICATIONS

DOVER CASTLE, KENT

William came to Dover after the Battle of Hastings to capture the port. He burnt the town to the ground and established a fortification before heading to London for his coronation. The castle, below, was extended in the late 12th century by Henry II, William's great grandson. He created the most advanced design in Europe. His engineer, Maurice, built the inner bailey and towers, part of the outer

bailey and a huge centrepiece - the immense great tower, a sophisticated building that combined defence with a palatial residence. Today Dover Castle is one of Britain's top attractions, with the great tower now sitting alongside medieval and Second World War tunnels, Napoleonic garrison buildings and a Roman lighthouse. Regular reenactments, gun firing, a clever playground and fantastic coastal views, all make for a great family day out.

or Belle is probably going to have French origins.

URBAN SETTLEMENTS GREW UNDER THE NORMANS

There were already towns but there was big urban growth and places like Norwich, which were relatively new, grew rapidly. The Normans were mercantile and brought in

energy and vigour to the trading classes - superboosting the merchant economy. People continued to trade across the Channel and across the North Sea.

EVENTUALLY, WE WERE JUST ALL ENGLISH

By the 1160s, it was becoming difficult to tell who was English and who was Norman.

RICHMOND CASTLE, NORTH YORKSHIRE

Richmond Castle, main image, is the best-preserved example of an early Norman castle in England. It was most likely founded in the late 1070s by Count Alan Rufus, 'the Red', of Penthièvre, a kinsman of William the Conqueror, who is thought to have commanded the Breton contingent of the Norman army at Hastings. In return for his service, William granted him land in the north and Richmond Castle was built soon afterwards to cement royal control and maintain vigilance over the Scottish border, which at that time was further south than it is today. The earliest surviving buildings include long stretches of the stone curtain wall, the great archway in the ground floor of the keep, and Scotland's Hall. No other English castle boasts so much surviving 11th-century architecture, but it's also a great day out for families - with views from the keep, a tranquil garden and interactive displays.

OLD SARUM, WILTSHIRE

Starting life as an Iron Age hillfort in around 400 BC, the potential of Old Sarum, above, was quickly recognised by William who threw up a motte shortly after the Norman Conquest. From there, he created an inner set of fortifications, protected by a huge outer bailey. It is thought Old Sarum's position on the road network may have made it an ideal army base in the early stages of the Norman Conquest, with the

outer bailey sufficient to accommodate large numbers of troops. The inner castle became home to a complex of towers, halls and apartments, while the north-western section of the bailey was selected as the site for a new cathedral. Old Sarum's importance continued to grow, with the sheriffs of Wiltshire based there. Today, this tranquil spot boasts superb views over Salisbury and makes a great day out combined with nearby Stonehenge.

Linguistically, English becomes the natural language but it takes time.

For most of the Middle Ages, French was the preferred language of most big landowners and the monarchy - Richard II was almost certainly the first monarch who routinely spoke English - but within general society English holds out.

There was also continuity in terms of the

law, the Normans adopted existing Anglo-Saxon customary law. And in many places things don't look that much different to pre-1066. Ordinary folk remained bound by the agricultural cycle even if they were working for a different set of landowners.

In the Midlands especially, there might be a different family in the big house but that was it. Life went on as normal.
