Craig Fairbrass teases explosive new Rise of the Footsoldier film

Published by Daniella Wilson

Craig Fairbrass has teased that the next Rise of the Footsoldier film will push the long-running British crime franchise into bigger, more action-heavy territory – even joking that it is “as close as I’m going to get to Bond”. The actor, who has become synonymous with the role of notorious gangster Pat Tate, will return for the seventh film in the franchise, Rise of the Footsoldier: Redemption. Speaking to Radio Times as TV channel LEGEND prepares to broadcast the first five films in the series, Fairbrass said the new instalment – which follows Pat to Ibiza on a mission to avenge the death of a friend – will be the biggest yet. “This one, Rise of the Footsoldier: Redemption, is bigger than all of them,” he said. “It was a tough shoot – three different countries – but we got it done. It took 18 months in post with visual effects. “When you look at it closely, not one of them films is the same. You’ve got the comedy side of things, the thriller side …

Explosive new book on Trump sparks White House alarm that Situation Room conversations were taped: report

Explosive new book on Trump sparks White House alarm that Situation Room conversations were taped: report

Published by Sam Flores

A shocking new report in Axios claims that top White House officials believe that leaks in the West Wing now penetrate the president’s inner circle of advisers, who may have provided New York Times reporters with recordings of secure conversations inside the Situation Room. The report, published on Sunday, paints a picture of a freakout going on behind the scenes at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., where top administration officials are bracing for the release later this month of Regime Change, the latest book from two of the most well-sourced reporters in Washington, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. According to Axios, officials now believe secret recordings were made of conversations between Trump’s top aides in the Situation Room, which would represent a serious breach of security protocol and, if the fears were to be founded, would represent the first known case of unauthorized recordings from that room, one of the most secure places on Earth, let alone that they were leaked to the media. “We’re afraid some of our most sensitive conversations were being recorded,” an administration …

The explosive fate of a collapsing star depends on neutrinos

The explosive fate of a collapsing star depends on neutrinos

Published by Jenni Sidey

A dying massive star does not go quietly. Its core collapses, matter crashes inward, neutrinos pour out in staggering numbers, and somewhere in that turmoil the blast either rebounds into a supernova or stalls. What happens in those first moments has long hinged on a difficult question: how those neutrinos behave as they stream through the wreckage of the star. However, new simulations suggest one poorly understood effect, called fast flavor conversion, can push the explosion in opposite directions depending on the kind of star involved. The work comes from Ryuichiro Akaho of Waseda University, Hiroki Nagakura of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, and Shoichi Yamada of Waseda University. Their study, published in Physical Review Letters, tested core-collapse supernova models with a more detailed treatment of neutrino motion. This was a different approach than many earlier efforts used. Where the earlier models fell short Core-collapse supernovae mark the end of massive stars. In the standard picture, neutrinos carry energy out from the collapsed core and help revive the shock wave that can tear the …

Demi Moore is standing by her daughter, Rumer Willis, in her bitter custody battle with her ex-boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas. Rumer and Derek, who split in 2024 after two years together, have been locked in a contentious custody battle over their three-year-old daughter, Louetta, since July 2025. The pair have gone back and forth, leveling allegations against one another, with Rumer accusing Derek of “insane, emotional abuse” and “ongoing coercive control,” which he vehemently denies. Demi added to her daughter’s argument by claiming that Derek “appears to want to dictate and control Rumer’s environment to his needs.” Recommended videoYou may also likeWATCH: Rumer Willis’ emotional first year of motherhood Sharing an example in court documents, Demi alleged that Derek displayed “aggressive” behavior during Louetta’s home birth in April 2023. © InstagramRumer and Derek have been locked in a custody battle since July 2025 “Rumer had a home birth.

Britain Preparing for Mission That Could Clear Strait of Hormuz

Britain Preparing for Mission That Could Clear Strait of Hormuz

Published by Sam Flores

President Trump has fumed repeatedly about Britain’s failing to help the U.S. wage war on Iran. The United Kingdom responded by allowing U.S. bombers to strike Iran from southern England, while Britain’s fighter jets have flown thousands of defensive missions across the region. Now the British military is embarking on yet another phase: to secure the Strait of Hormuz if the war comes to an end, dispatching an advanced destroyer to the region and another ship armed with autonomous mine-hunting equipment. The move to remove mines from the waterway could also serve to deflect further criticism from Mr. Trump. The war with Iran was not Britain’s making, but the country cannot escape the conflict’s far-reaching effects. Halted traffic in the strait has crippled international shipping and driven up energy prices in the United States and around the world. The British military took a handful of reporters on Friday to Gibraltar, a small patch of British territory at the tip of Spain. The trip seemed like an effort to highlight its military capabilities and resolve, and …

EU’s public debt could become ‘explosive’ without action, IMF warns – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

“The ‘muddling-through’ approach that many countries have adopted so far is reaching its limits, and a more strategic response seems essential to respond to rising spending pressures,” it added. The European Court of Auditors also told the finance ministers that doing nothing is not an option, highlighting the need for fiscal consolidation measures. The IMF paper calls EU countries to incentivize work and hiring across the ​27-country bloc, simplify citizens’ savings flow across the bloc into investments, energy markets integration and implementation of climate-resilient projects. Pension reforms and a higher retirement age would also help. EU should agree ‌that ⁠innovation, energy and defense are public goods and should be financed through joint borrowing, it adds. The bloc has remained deadlocked on the idea of sharing the debt to unlock additional funds, with some countries like Spain, Italy, Greece or France strongly in favor and others, like Germany, strongly opposing. “We are faced with a new and permanent spending needs,” EU Economy Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis said in a press conference after the meeting of finance ministers. …

Dentists Are Using AI to Scare Patients Into Unnecessary Dental Work, According to an Explosive Investigation

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Is your dentist upselling you on something? Does your old filling really need to be replaced, and is that tooth decay really bad enough to warrant new work? Such suspicions have probably crossed your mind before as you laid there in tense anticipation of the noisy drill about to send stomach-churning vibrations through your teeth, and they’re not going to go away once you hear about how dentists across the country are embracing AI tools.  In her new book “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” former Wall Street Journal columnist Joanna Stern recalls how a routine trip to the dentist’s office led her to unearthing the disturbing way that AI is being used to push unnecessary treatments. “Similarly to how AI is being used in radiology for breasts or gallbladder, et cetera, it’s being used in dentistry. And honestly, it’s happening almost everywhere,” Stern said on the latest episode of The …

Sheriff breaks silence after explosive claims over FBI tip-off

Published by Daniella Wilson

Tensions have erupted between the local authorities and the FBI amid the ongoing Nancy Guthrie case, after the 84-year-old mother of Today show star Savannah Guthrie went missing on February 1. Nancy was believed to have been taken by force from her home in Tucson, Arizona, and police have yet to make any arrests three months in.  In May, FBI director Kash Patel alleged that the local police chief, Sheriff Chris Nanos, waited four days after Nancy’s disappearance before letting the bureau in on the investigation. Nanos refuted this claim on Tuesday, claiming that the FBI were involved in the case from “Day one”.  “And they continue to be involved in this case. Every single day,” he told KOLD. “We continue to work with our labs. Whether it’s on the digital end or the biological end, DNA.”  © NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal viaNancy has been missing for 100 days He then addressed the lengthy nature of the case, which was opened 100 days ago. “It moves at a snail’s pace, I guess, for some.
