'Whether it's a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or a long-awaited reunion, make it unforgettable with a one-of-a-kind Cameo video from Tiffany Salmond,' the blurb on her Cameo page reads. 'You'll have the chance to customize your request for Tiffany Salmond, like asking them to mention inside jokes, share words of wisdom, or work in their signature catchphrases. Salmond has been vocal about her inability to find TV work since being dumped from her role reporting on New Zealand NRL games for Fox Sports, RNZ and Sky. Last September, she opened up about NRL players trying to date her by using a 'bizarre and weird' pick-up method that she hasn't seen before. 'This has happened to me a few times and I've never received these types of messages from anyone else except NRL players,' she explained on Instagram.

You win, you win, you win and in the end, it doesn’t matter a hell of a lot. Trump is surely the most extreme test case of this proposition in our time. It’s not hard to pin the ‘empire’ charge on Trump’s predecessors, who have jealously guarded US custody of the world system. But if there is one thing that seems to complicate (though not mitigate) his bottomless nihilism, it is the market. Trump at least believes in something: the economy is, in the end, the only authority he recognises.

We know Guardiola and this City team are very, very good at winning trophies. For the middle period they looked like a team in the grip of a collective amnesia. And when their own narrow range of variations fails all you really see are the absences in this Arsenal team. Forward, left, left, left, back, left stop. This Arsenal team have, at the very least, become deeply, unavoidably watchable.

Britain's 'most lucrative' bus lane which rakes in £4,200 a day from drivers has been revealed. The Corporation Street bus gate in Preston, Lancashire issues a whopping 47,176 penalties a year - 13,000 more than any other in the country.

The fourth week of incessant rocket attacks has taken its toll and there is still no end in sight. Sirens are random but go off every few hours, depending on where you live, night and day. It seems that Iran has worked out the formula for wearing down the Israeli civilian population. In the first two days of the war, Iran launched about 100 missiles towards Israel. A war-weary, jittery nation tries to maintain a semblance of normalcy among all this, repeating the mantra that maybe, just maybe, if this conflict leads to regime change in Iran, Israel may finally know some quiet.

Jim Goodwin said skipper Ross Graham epitomised Dundee United’s performance against Celtic as he bounced back in style from a calamitous end to last weekend’s derby. But lifelong United fan Graham impressed as the team beat Celtic at Tannadice for the second time this season. ‘Ross Graham was devastated last week,’ said the manager. You know Celtic are going to have plenty of possession, but they never really carved us open. We forced (Viljami) Sinisalo to go long quite regularly and my three centre-halves competed really well.

Photograph: Amit Elkayam/The New York TimesThe Middle East energy wars are on the cusp of a dangerous escalation, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Iran has responded to president Donald Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping with a series of counter threats. Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned that critical infrastructure and energy facilities in the Middle East could be “irreversibly destroyed” if the US attacks Iranian power plants. The crisis surrounding Iran’s chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz has created a global economic crisis, causing surging energy prices across the world. More than 1,500 people have been killed in Iran since the war began three weeks ago, state broadcaster IRIB reported on Saturday.

Lyons and Cronin were both struck by the amount of plastic waste dumped in Arusha’s streets and rivers and decided to do something about it. Their first product – made on their veranda – was a pouffe, stitched together with recycled fabric and stuffed with shredded waste plastic collected on the streets. Since then, they have recycled 900 tonnes of plastic waste, and the business has grown to include eye-catching and stylish bespoke furniture, while also providing employment and education.
