Conner Smith knocked down a pedestrian, who later died, in his pickup truck in Nashville on Sunday (08.06.25).

The Dolphins have lost key forwards Tom Gilbert and Daniel Saifiti for the rest of the season and are set to be without their four best forwards for 2025.

The right lanes of the entrance have been closed, with incident response crews trying to make the area safe. 

ALL eyes will be on Frankfurt for the next four days as the best throwers participate in the World Cup of Darts – and the prize money has been revealed!

England, represented by Luke Humphries and Michael Smith, secured a record-breaking fifth title in last year’s thrilling tournament.

The Englishmen had a scintillating tournament and capped it off with a tidy 10-6 win against Austria in the final.

And as a result, both men were forced to split a staggering share of £80,000 for their troubles.

However, if England are to retain their title once again, Michael Smith won’t be seeing the payday as he has been replaced by teenage sensation, Luke Littler.

LOVE Island has no shortage of tired sayings.

From “eggs in one basket” and “my type on paper” to “muggy” and “it is what it is”, there’s always a phrase or two that spreads through the villa like wildfire.

She repeatedly referenced Shakira’s hit Hips Don’t Lie[/caption]

In last night’s launch show, new girl Shakira Khan, 22, didn’t shy away from the fact she shares a name with a very famous pop star, and even quoted lyrics from her famous hit on several occasions.

The repeated references to Colombian Shakira’s Hips Don’t Lie grated on viewers very quickly, and they’re fully expecting to hear it throughout the series.

One person complained on X: “i love shakira but the ‘hips don’t lie’ jokes need to GOOOOOO.”

Another said: “how many times are we gonna have to hear hips don’t lie shakira shakira ffs.”

A third vented: “Can we get some new material or is it just gonna be Shakira Shakira my hips don’t lie all summer.”

Shakira entered the villa first alongside Meg Moore, 25, and the two ladies quickly bonded.

Shakira set about telling Megan that she was “too glamorous for a 9-5” and must do something more exciting for a job.

Meg quickly set her straight revealing she was in fact a payroll specialist, with Shakira squealing that she was a “corporate girlie”.

While the comment might have sounded innocent to some, viewers at home were not impressed.

One user wrote: “not too glamorous for a 9-5, oh dear.”

Another person asked: “what does ‘too glamorous to do a 9-5’ even mean?”

Someone else agreed: “Too gorgeous to do a 9-5??? What does that mean?”

Shakira wasn’t the only one whose words had viewers cringing.

He then bragged that he didn’t have to pay for anything from the shop as his mum gave him everything for free.

A GOOD Morning Britain anchor was forced to halt a live segment and promptly apologise during Tuesday’s episode.

Presenter Ranvir Singh, 47, who was fronting the news desk, staged a swift intervention during co-host and north America correspondent Noel Phillips‘ live broadcast from Los Angeles.

GMB’s North America correspondent Noel Phillips’ outdoor segment amid the LA riots was disrupted by ‘profanities’[/caption]

As the reporter attempted to outline the unfolding riots in the American city, a furious resident also appeared on screen shouting out swear words – which the camera clearly picked up.

Noel, who was clad in safety protection gear as rioters battled cops over immigration raids, then said: “I do apologise for language you are hearing, tensions are very high here.”

Good Morning Britain favourite Ranvir then cut in and addressed the “profanities” broadcast before she apologised.

She said: “I’m just going to interrupt that – I think we could hear some profanities going on near Noel.”

She continued: “Of course we can’t really broadcast this at 8.09am but we are going to try to get back to him,” before cutting the live broadcast and instead introducing a pre-recorded segment Noel had filmed on the standoff.

One fan was quick to flag the incident on social media and raged: “Nearly choked on my cornflakes! Never expected that bystander’s sweary rant on @GMB.”

Noel was hit by a rubber bullet yesterday while reporting on the riots.

Later in the show, he told how he was doing “much better than I was” after being pelted by the golf ball size device, which left a “huge wound.”

POTUS Donald Trump has sent 700 US Marines and another 2,000 National Guard troops to LA to defend the city from immigration raid riots.

Violent protests have spread across the US over the past 24 hours with lawless demonstrators arrested in California, New York and Texas.

The City of Angels has been engulfed in anarchy over the past four days as rioters have burned cars and battled with cops.

A defiant Trump has called for a quick end to the protests so he can enforce his immigration policy.

The President has claimed LA – a sanctuary city – has now been “invaded” by illegal immigrants.

He raged “If they spit, we’ll hit” after reports of masked rioters spitting in the face of cops emerged.

Trump said: “I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before.”

His latest call has seen the US Marines drafted in to help restore order.

The decision to bolster up LA’s police force was widely criticized by California’s leadership.

Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass insisted the federal troops only escalated the peaceful protests into riots on Sunday night.

It has been a chaotic week for GMB on-screen.

On Monday, show anchor Richard Madeley arrived on-set clad in an arm cast after fracturing his wrist twice while on holiday in France.

Some days feel like the universe pressed mute. June 9, 2025, wasn’t just another line on the calendar; it was a closing chapter, a double requiem. It felt like flipping through the last page of two different books and still not being ready to close either. We lost Frederick Forsyth, the literary tactician whose pen […]
