We still have conversations with those that were involved in the Changing the Boundaries process and that's really important. And there are so many things to address like facilities ahead of the 2030 World Cup and what opportunities might arise through LA28. And there would also have been added benefits of the World Cup being in India, so I think we need to be realistic about that.”Opportunity will at least knock later this month for the women’s team who will head to Nepal for their own T20 World Cup qualifier. “We're hoping to reach a T20 World Cup for the women. We are working towards hopefully a 50-over World Cup for the men and then we've got some really close connections with our clubs and community through our regions and regional cricket.

When Heimir Hallgrimsson named his Ireland squad for last November’s final two World Cup qualifiers, most of the country asked themselves the same question – ‘Who is Kevin O’Toole?’With Robbie Brady, Callum O’Dowda and Josh Honohan out injured and Ryan Manning suspended for the first showdown with Portugal, the Icelander called upon the New York City FC man to provide cover at left-back, one of the main talking points ahead of a window where hardly anyone gave Ireland a chance of doing the business.

So, as we welcome a new year, I asked 19 people what little things make them happy. I try to get some exercise in most days because it helps my mood and my overall sense of well-being and happiness. It all boils down to love and connection –being with people you love and who love you. My wife has enforced a rule that we hug regularly and every hug has to last longer than seven seconds. For me, happiness is in the little things.

At least three quarters of properties advertised for short-term lets are either empty or underoccupied at any given time, stark new figures have revealed. It comes as new homelessness figures revealed that nearly 17,000 people were in emergency accommodation in November. Bed spacesThey also prepared a table comparing the number of short-term let nights sold, based on “experimental statistics” provided by Eurostat, and the number of bed spaces available. In January, there were 4.2m bed spaces available, but just 185,354 short-term let nights sold. The percentage of nights sold increased to 10.45% in February and continued to grow throughout the spring months.

They’re in the middle of filming the bit where Bannon gives the couple a tour of the finished house. You’re doing a project and then you do the filming on top of it. “When you’re doing a job for the television you need to be able to tell a story. “It’s a pavilion.”For the record, the pavilion does not look like a glass box, and Louis and Norita love it.

O2 customers issued warning as provider to switch off 'relic' service in 2026The UK's biggest mobile provider has announced the shutdown of its 3G services in 2026, urgingcustomers with 3G-only devices to upgrade to avoid losing access to mobile internet as 4G and 5G services continue. The provider's switch-off will only impact those still using older handsets that rely solely on 3G connectivity. ‌Just two percent of O2's mobile data traffic now runs on 3G, which can no longer keep pace with contemporary technological requirements. Decommissioning the network will enable O2 to reallocate radio spectrum across its wireless infrastructure, enhancing speeds and expanding 4G and 5G reach, reports the Express. She said in a statement: "We're now more connected than ever thanks to significant investment in faster, more reliable 4G and 5G networks.

They should be aware that he is every boss’s nightmare – one of the country’s most vexatious complainants. Just about the only thing Johnson, a born-again Christian, has not made a claim for is ‘sexual orientation’ discrimination. He’s also done turns as a stand-up comic and compered open mic events at a bar in Islington, north London. In the future – instead of the ‘middle finger’ – Johnson would weaponise his grievances by exploiting the employment tribunal process. Johnson made multiple discrimination claims against both organisations.

I speak, of course, of the most enduring mystery of the universe since the dawn of existence: stage times. Under my progressive reign, it will soon become law for all artists, promoters and venues – all of them – to advertise stage times for gigs 48 hours in advance. Lately there’s been a delightful trend in London to stage productions so concise that they don’t require an interval. I can proudly say I’ve won every colour of medal in the Aisle Seat to Ladies’ Room Interval Sprint. Stress instead about the penalties for noncompliance with my imminent Stage Times Transparency Act – because things are about to change around here.

“It was a brilliant operation, actually,” Mr Trump told the New York Times after eyewitnesses in Venezuela reported a series of explosions. Smoke rises at La Carlota airport after explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard in Caracas, Venezuela. Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro delivers a speech during a military ceremony in Fuerte Tiuna, Caracas on November 25th, 2025. The explosions come after a five-month US pressure campaign against Maduro, which many analysts believe is designed to topple the Venezuelan leader. The president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, denounced the US’s “criminal attack” and claimed the region was being brutally assaulted.

By now we had spent €96 on food but the meal was supposed to include wine – and that was a problem. Sally Hayden in Damascus, SyriaYou would struggle to spend €120 on a meal in Damascus. A shared meal between five people in Beit Jabri restaurant, in Damascus, came to less than €40. instagram.com/beit.jabri.restaurantMark Paul in LondonThe concept of “the best meal available” is flexible and adaptable. The set lunch menu might include classic Italian dishes such as zuppa di piselli (pea soup), polipetti (stewed baby octopus) and fegato alla piastre (fried calf’s liver).

This is a team bound not by boozy bravado or late-night bonding sessions, but by something far more personal: faith. “I felt so good,” Jesus told me in December, after his first comeback appearance as a substitute in Arsenal’s Champions League win away to Club Brugge. Inside Arsenal’s dressing room, however, faith is flourishing and not confined to one creed. “Having this space to contemplate and pray will change the lives of future Arsenal players.”Arsenal’s religious faith is diverse. But in a season where margins are fine and pressure relentless, Arsenal’s unity, spiritual as much as sporting, feels like an edge.

Yet former Manchester United star Wes Brown discovered just how rapidly fortunes can change. ‌Football supporters were stunned when the 23-cap former England international declared bankruptcy in 2023. But luckily I still do quite a lot of work and I'm able to carry on now moving forward. View 3 Images The 46-year-old declared bankruptcy in April 2023‌Brown has since focused on educating athletes on financial literacy and due diligence, something he has suggested was lacking at the peak of his own football fame. Ex-Manchester City star Trevor Sinclair was also declared bankrupt in June 2025 after failing to settle a tax bill exceeding £36,000.

So this season, aided by a disposable vape and a pretty necklace aid, I decided to give giving up a go. So on returning from my Scottish sojourn, I went straight to the local vape shop to try again. I immediately stopped smoking for 3 days and had just a dozen ciggies over the next 2 months. And with my two golden bullion bars of quit, I tried it to stop my chain-smoking habit once more, using the gold necklace with pretty hearts on and Sonder vape. Since combining the vape and necklace, I'm now trying to establish a routine of necklace/vape that supports cutting back on my ciggies.
