The supermarket giant has teamed up with charging network Be.EV to offer one point for every £1 spent at Be.EV charging stations, with more than 2,500 bays across 680 UK locations.

Shama Wilson, Tesco Group’s membership and loyalty director, said: “We are always looking for new ways for Clubcard members to collect Clubcard points and so we are delighted to announce our new partnership with Be.EV.

“This will allow Clubcard members to collect points when they charge their vehicles at thousands of charging bays across the UK.

“With more and more Tesco shoppers opting for electric vehicles, we’re sure that many of our customers will be excited by this latest addition to Clubcard.”

To earn points, users must link their Clubcard to the Be.EV app.

Once connected, points are collected automatically with each charge.

Be.EV, founded in Greater Manchester in 2019, is now among the UK’s top 10 largest charging networks.

Some of its bays are already installed at Tesco Express stores.

Asif Ghafoor, CEO of Be.EV, said: “This is about making the switch to electric genuinely worth it.

“Drivers are already charging on these journeys but now every charge means they can collect Clubcard points to spend on their weekly shop or a day out.

“Pairing reliable ultra-rapid charging with rewards people actually value is how you make EV ownership feel effortless.”

Tesco’s Clubcard programme currently has around 24 million members in the UK.

A British national has been rescued almost a week after devastating floods hit Nepal, which have killed more than 1,000 people.

Issuing an update on its search and rescue operation, the Nepali Army on Tuesday said: “Nepali Army rescued a total of 119 people including a British citizen through air resources today”,

The statement, posted on social media, added: “In addition to this, Nepali Army has rescued 273 foreigners along with a total of 3891 people through air resources.”

The British national has not been identified yet.

The death toll from Nepal’s floods surpassed 1,000 on Tuesday as rescuers deployed heavy machinery, helicopters and excavators to reach thousands still missing nearly ⁠a week after the Himalayan disaster tore through towns and valleys.

At least 639 people remain stranded in devastated hydropower stations that have become the focus of rescue efforts, Nepal’s disaster management authority ⁠said on Tuesday.

A glacier collapse on 26 August sent a deluge of ice, rock and mud sweeping through the nation’s border region with China.

The death toll rose to 1,050, while about 4,000 people remain missing, ​including ⁠583 foreign nationals.

The disaster left at least 2.2m tons of debris, according to a preliminary estimate by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), including parts of buildings, rocks, and sediment.

“The amount of debris shows the scale of the destruction and the challenge communities face as ⁠they clear homes, roads and public spaces and begin to rebuild,” it said.

More than 11,000 people have been rescued, and power and communication lines ​were restored ⁠in some areas, prime minister Balendra Shah said in a ‌social media post on Monday.

Shah said 279 workers were rescued from hydropower projects, with joint teams from Nepal, India and China working on search-and-rescue operations.

Jurors in Lindsay Clancy‘s murder trial told the judge they were unable to come to a unanimous decision on a verdict on the fourth day of deliberations.

The jury, made up of nine women and three men, has spent a total of 18 hours deliberating Clancy’s fate. Judge William R Sullivan sent them back out to continue weighing up their decision on Tuesday morning.

The jury must decide whether Clancy is guilty of three murder counts after the former labor and delivery nurse killed her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months, using exercise bands at her home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023. 

Clancy has pleaded not guilty in her case, citing postpartum depression, psychosis and overmedication by prescribers. Prosecutors acknowledged that Clancy was mentally ill, but maintain that she knew what she was doing at the time of the killings.

The jury, who are non-sequestered, heard five grueling weeks of evidence from doctors, psychiatry experts, police, friends and family before they broke for deliberations. 

Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington told reporters that he was ‘confident in this jury’ and that ‘they’re doing a great job working on the case,’ outside of the Plymouth County Superior Courthouse yesterday. ‘They’ve been focused and dedicated throughout the whole trial,’ he said.

‘Members of the jury I’ve got your question and the question is, “After many hours of deliberation we are unable to come to a unanimous decision,”‘ Judge William Sullivan said.

He acknowledged the length of the trial, but ordered the jury to continue deliberations and sent them back.

‘I brought you back out because I know that this was a long trial, alright. I know that there were over 80 witness, there were over 300 exhibits, but because of that I’m going to ask you to back out, keeping in mind all of the instructions that I gave you, to go out and to continue you deliberations,’ Sullivan said.

The panel of 12, made up of nine women and three men, must reach a unanimous decision on whether Clancy is guilty of murder, manslaughter or not criminally responsible for her actions.

If the jury is unable to reach a verdict, the judge will eventually be forced to declare a mistrial.

What happened to the Clancy children?

On January 24, 2023, Clancy announced she’d had an exhausting day looking after their three young children so she asked husband Patrick if he didn’t mind going out on an errand. He just needed to pick up some children’s medicine and a takeout dinner order as she’d been too tired to cook, she told him.

Patrick, 36, who worked in software sales for Microsoft, was happy to oblige. But when he returned to their home in the well-to-do Boston coastal suburb of Duxbury less than an hour later at around 6pm, he discovered that their happy family existence had been snuffed out in an act of almost unimaginable violence.

After going upstairs to find his wife, who he imagined was giving the children a bath, he discovered their second-floor bedroom door was locked and had to force his way in. Inside, there was blood on the floor, a bloody knife on the nightstand and the room was chilly as a window had been left open.

He ran downstairs to find his wife lying barely conscious outside. She had cut her wrists and neck before jumping out of the window, falling some 20ft onto frozen ground. She told him she’d tried to kill herself, adding – when he asked – that the children were in the basement.

Patrick stayed by her side for the next 10 minutes after dialing 911, convinced that she might die before the paramedics arrived.

Only when they turned up did he hurry inside to find the children – five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and Callan, just eight months. They were indeed in the basement – they had all been strangled with resistance bands.

ADA Jennifer Sprague presented the closing argument and asked the jury to find Clancy guilty of murder on Thursday.

‘She knew what she did was wrong. She could conform her behavior to the law and chose not to,’ Sprague said.

‘She didn’t expect to have any consequences because she expected to die with her children.

‘You know it was deliberate premeditation because of the way she killed them and the way they died.’

Sprague continued: ‘She didn’t see them in that moment as individual human beings with rights, with dreams, with futures.

‘She didn’t bring them up to their beds; she left them, discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, like she was done playing the game. You know, to a moral certainty, she is guilty.’

Cardiff City have confirmed another outgoing deal on transfer deadline day, with midfielder Cody Twose joining Haverfordwest County on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old has spent virtually his entire footballing journey with the Bluebirds, having joined the club at the age of nine, and this move represents an important next step in his development as he looks to secure regular senior football.

Haverfordwest have confirmed that Twose will spend the remainder of the campaign with them in the Novira Cymru Premier, giving the midfielder his first experience of a sustained run of first-team football.

Twose has been a prominent figure through the various age groups at Cardiff and has already had a taste of senior football.

He made his Cardiff first-team debut in August 2024, coming off the bench in the second half of the Carabao Cup tie against Southampton.

He has also represented Wales at a number of age-group levels.

Haverfordwest manager Tony Pennock believes Twose can provide an important boost to his midfield, particularly with Clayton Green set to be unavailable for the next few months.

“Cody is an exciting prospect who has been at Cardiff City since he was nine,” Pennock said.

“Cody can play throughout midfield and will add to our options now that Clayton Green is going to be unavailable for the next few months.

“He has represented Wales at several age groups, and this being his first loan will hopefully give him the experiences needed to progress his career.”

Twose has also revealed that he had been considering a number of options before deciding Haverfordwest was the right move for him.

“I’m excited to join the club. There’s good quality in the group,” he said.

“Today’s session was really good, getting to know the boys, and I’m looking forward to taking it into the games now.

“I’ve been looking at a few moves, and this came up and I thought it was right for me.

“I think I’ve made the right decision, with the training today and the way the gaffer has spoken to me, and I’m really excited to get going.”

Travis Kelce confirmed that he and Taylor Swift have welcomed a new addition to their family shortly after tying the knot. 

The NFL star and pop sensation celebrated their wedding in spectacular fashion when they exchanged vows in front of a star-studded guest list at Madison Square Garden on July 3. 

Now, amid their newlywed bliss, Kelce revealed that he and his A-list wife have become proud owners of an adorable dog. 

The pup, which is reported to be a white Samoyed named Wendy, according to Forbes, made its first public appearance as it stars alongside the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in a campaign for Tommy Hilfiger. 

Wendy appears alongside the three-time Super Bowl winner on the roof of the Plaza Hotel, lounging on a black-and-white sofa as Kelce poses in a navy peacoat and white turtleneck. 

The fluffy canine also makes a cameo in a video for the campaign, following her famous dog dad through the iconic New York hotel.

The Kansas City Chiefs star revealed that the A-list couple own a dog called Wendy

The American fashion brand had been looking to cast a dog for the advert when Kelce volunteered his and Swift’s own, Vogue reported. 

‘We figured, why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too,’ Kelce told the outlet. ‘Those are some of my favorite shots.’ 

Kelce gushed over his gorgeous new pet, saying: ‘She lights up my day.’ 

The pet’s existence was first revealed by the Daily Mail in exclusive footage from inside the couple’s wedding, which showed a picture of the happy couple posing with their furry friend.

A source told the Daily Mail that ‘it seems that Travis made it happen’ regarding the dog. 

In a 2025 episode of the Fitz & Whit podcast, Kelce’s brother Jason, 38, told hosts Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth how much Swift has influenced Kelce’s interior design choices, sharing a story that inadvertently revealed the truth.

He said Kelce had gone all in on a pair of designer couches that he described as ‘green velvet, over-the-top couches.’

He pushed his brother on the price tag: ‘I’m not gonna say the dollar amount – but I’m like, dude, what are these couches?’

The three-time Super Bowl winner gushed over the adorable pup in an interview with Vogue 

Clues about the pup’s identity have been mounting for months. It is Swift’s fourth pet

Kelce defended the purchase: ‘It’s an investment. It’s art, Jason.’ But when Jason came back to Kelce’s house around six months later, one of the couches had been pushed to the wall.

‘He just got a puppy,’ Jason told the podcast. ‘The puppy had chewed a hole in the back of it.’

Whitworth – himself a friend and former teammate of Kelce’s – couldn’t resist adding: ‘Investment gone! Investment’s over.’

Still, clues about the pup’s identity have been mounting for months.

In March, a white Samoyed was spotted at Westchester County Airport hopping out of Swift’s silver Chevy Suburban surrounded by her security detail.

The footage showed the happy-looking pooch jump down from the vehicle and sniff the ground as a security guard kept a tight grip on its leash.

Just months earlier, however, Swift had appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and denied having a dog in her life.

A source told the Daily Mail that ‘it seems that Travis made it happen’ regarding the dog

Asked about rumors she had been spotted walking a mystery dog, she shot it down: ‘I have never walked a dog in Florida or maybe ever,’ she told the late-night host.

The dog is now Swift’s fourth pet.

She famously has three cats – Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.

The cats have appeared in her music videos and graced magazine covers, becoming celebrities in their own right.

Enzo Fernandez is set to join Manchester City from Chelsea, but is set for an awkward reunion with Erling Haaland

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez looks set for an uncomfortable reunion with Erling Haaland at Manchester City after the two clubs agreed on a £125m fee for the midfielder. Enzo Maresca is set to be reunited with the Argentinian international at the Etihad Stadium after agreeing a joint British-record transfer fee.

It’s welcome news for Haaland, who will no doubt be relieved to see an on-field battle with the Blues enforcer finally draw to a close. The Man City striker accused Fernandez of stamping on him during a meeting between the two sides in their 2-0 victory over Chelsea at the start of the 2024/25 season.

Pep Guardiola’s outfit got their Premier League title defence off to a flying start with a win over the Blues, though Haaland had plenty to say about Fernandez afterwards.

“All the time he stamps on me, he pushes me and everything, not only him,” Haaland told BBC Sport after the win. “I don’t know what he wants but that’s what they do I guess.

“We just won the Premier League so let’s take it game by game. It’s 37 games left, let’s not forget we won the Premier League and now we have won the first game of this season.

“It’s amazing to have everyone back. We go from there. It’s ridiculous how quick it actually goes, it’s my third season now. I’m happy, especially now after the win.

“It’s the first game back and we’re not in perfect shape, but we did a really solid performance. We just stayed calm and played, it’s amazing to see.”

This is not the first occasion Fernandez has been accused of underhand tactics, having elbowed Man City newcomer Elliott Anderson in the back during the World Cup clash between England and Argentina.

The foul went unpunished, much to the fury of England players and staff, with Fernandez escaping a yellow card for the incident.

Tensions boiled over between the two nations, with Anderson and Fernandez locked in a battle throughout the match. Ultimately, however, it was Argentina who came out on top, defeating the Three Lions 2-1.

Fernandez has been given the green light to travel to Manchester to complete a medical at City, bringing an end to the uncertainty about his future.

The Argentinian had been vocal about a potential move to Real Madrid under former boss Liam Rosenior, but Los Blancos have not tried to buy the midfielder this summer.

A newborn baby girl found dead at a Sheffield house was stabbed to death, police have revealed, as detectives continue to question five people over her murder.

The infant was discovered at a property in Holywell Heights, Wincobank, after South Yorkshire Police received a 999 call at 5.58am on Sunday reporting concerns for the safety of a baby.

A forensic post-mortem examination has since established that the child died from stab wounds.

Seven people, aged between 15 and 38, were arrested on suspicion of murder following the discovery. 

Two of those arrested, aged 26 and 37, have since been released on bail, while detectives obtained a warrant allowing them to keep the other five suspects in custody for longer.

The grim discovery shocked the neighbourhood, where residents described the three-bedroom property as regularly being occupied by a large number of people.

One neighbour said the house had been rented by a Slovakian family who moved in around eight months ago.

She claimed there could sometimes be as many as 12 people inside the relatively small home, including children and adults.

The neighbour said she had never noticed a woman who appeared to be pregnant living at the address.

She also claimed the occupants had left the property before officers arrived on Sunday morning.

‘There are loads of them in the house, they are always in and out,’ she said.

‘The baby died at 10pm, a policeman told me. And the family were all leaving after it happened.

‘Police have taken my CCTV, but I have seen it. The eldest son and his girlfriend left about 4am on the Sunday.

‘Then the mum and about five others left shortly before 6am. And then the police arrived.’

The resident said she later witnessed officers carrying the infant from the house, wrapped in blankets, at around 1pm.

‘Every person has left the house, abandoning the baby,’ she added.

Another neighbour said the number of people staying at the address had appeared unusually high.

‘People were crammed in that house at times. We have seen ten or 12 people living and sleeping there at times. It is just a smallish three- bedroom house, so I can’t imagine the sleeping arrangements.’

Two of those arrested, aged 26 and 37, have since been released on bail, while detectives obtained a warrant allowing them to keep the other five suspects in custody for longer

A further resident said she knew the family only casually and described them as Slovakian.

‘I only knew the family to say “hello” to. They are Slovakian. 

‘I’m not aware of any of them working, and they would come and go all through the day and night, every day of the week.’It is dreadful what has happened, that a poor little girl has died. It has really traumatised by daughter.’

Police remained at the property as forensic officers examined the scene, with cordons put in place around the smart end-mews home.

A South Yorkshire Police dog handler was also seen searching surrounding gardens and bins with a cadaver dog.

Detectives are now working to establish exactly what happened to the baby and who was responsible for her death.

Detective Chief Inspector Tom Woodward said: ‘We recognise this is deeply distressing for those who would have loved to have a chance to love this baby girl, for the emergency services who responded and for the community who will inevitably be shocked by this incident.

‘Everyone involved in responding to this tragedy – from the first officers and paramedics on the scene to the detectives now leading the investigation – has felt the profound impact of this investigation.

‘Our commitment to this little girl is unwavering. We will confront every difficult and distressing challenge and pursue every line of inquiry with determination and care to secure justice for her.

‘We know the local community will hold her in their thoughts and support us as we work through this complex investigation.’

Detective Chief Inspector Emma Knight, of South Yorkshire Police, previously urged residents not to speculate while officers continued their work.

She said: ‘We are aware news of this will be deeply concerning and I want to reassure our local communities that we have a dedicated team of detectives and officers hard at work to ensure justice is secured for the baby girl at the heart of this investigation.

‘As part of our investigation seven people have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

‘All of them remain in police custody at this time. We are working to determine the ages of some of those arrested.’

Police have appealed for anyone with information that could assist the investigation to come forward.

Nepali rescuers have rescued a British man nearly a week after devastating flash floods tore through the country and killed more than 1,000 people. 

A search and rescue spokesperson said: ‘We have rescued 118 Nepalese people… 44 are female and 74 are male.

‘We have also rescued one British male during this search and rescue operation.’

Floodwaters surged across the Nepal-Tibet border, sweeping away homes, buildings, roads and bridges, all while carrying mud and rocks downstream and causing widespread devastation on Wednesday, August 26. 

This afternoon, disaster officials said at least 1,050 people in Nepal were killed by the floods, with more than 4,000 people still missing. 

Chinese officials confirmed that 16 people had been killed in Tibet, on the other side of the border. 

It comes as experts warned millions of tons of ice contained in glaciers surrounding the flash-flood-hit valley are at risk of collapse, which could cause yet another natural disaster.   

Rescue teams with search dogs continued to search through mud, rocks and debris on Tuesday on the border with Nepal and China for the thousands still missing.  

The scale of the disaster is hampering rescue efforts in both countries, with landslides, destroyed roads and widespread damage cutting off remote areas. 

Crews faced challenging conditions as they searched unstable terrain and piles of debris, raising fears the death toll could rise as rescuers reach isolated communities. 

Rescuers are racing to reach hundreds of workers believed to be trapped inside tunnels at hydropower projects in Nepal damaged by the floods. 

About 900 workers are missing from 12 projects, with roughly 500 believed to be trapped in tunnels, according to local authorities.

An army spokesperson said teams assisted by foreign experts were working at several hydropower projects. 

Images released by the army showed rescue teams entering debris-filled tunnels and wading through mud and water in the search for signs of life.

On the Chinese side, rescue crews scoured areas hit by mudslides, particularly around the Gyirong Port border crossing, which was destroyed.

Some rescuers, aided by search dogs, searched gaps among rocks and debris for signs of life. 

Other teams used heavy machinery to clear a major highway leading to Gyirong Port, hoping to clear the way for equipment, personnel and supplies to reach the disaster zone. 

In Kathmandu, police worked in heavy rain on Tuesday to bury dozens of bodies in multiple trenches next to a forested area.

Barbed wire was erected around the site, while blue numbered markers identified the graves of people whose names were not yet known.

Authorities in Nepal have been burying bodies in temporary graves until they can be identified. They are preserving DNA samples, photographing distinguishing facial features and recording other identifying details.

Each body is assigned a reference number to help families identify and claim the remains later. 

At least 11,814 people have been rescued so far. Emergency crews used helicopters and other aircraft to reach stranded communities in areas where roads and bridges have been destroyed by the flooding and landslides.

Efforts are being stepped up to provide assistance to survivors in areas where roads and other transportation routes had been damaged or cut off.

China said a second batch of relief supplies was being sent to Nepal, including drones, DNA testing and water purification equipment. Chinese DNA testing experts will also help Nepal identify bodies. 

Bimal Sharma, a helicopter pilot who has been flying rescue and relief missions, said he was shocked to see the devastation in Timure, a border town close to Tibet that he has known for years.

‘It felt like I was flying over an entirely different landscape,’ said Mr Sharma, adding that he has had little opportunity to speak with the people he rescued. ‘I can see the pain in their eyes. It’s heartbreaking,’ he said. 

The disaster began in the Himalayas when a glacial collapse sent large amounts of rock, ice and meltwater into valleys below, triggering powerful floods downstream.

Scientists studying satellite imagery said the collapse appears to have involved the failure of bedrock beneath a glacier in the Himalayan region. The rockfall was powerful enough to register as a magnitude-5.2 seismic event.

Nepal’s Prime Minister Balendra Shah said that the disaster highlighted the need for action to combat climate change.

‘This incident has indicated that the risks we face in the Himalayan region are increasing with climate change,’ Mr Shah said in a social media post Monday night. 

‘Therefore, this region must be alert, and at the same time, it is time for us to strongly raise the issue of disasters caused by climate change before the international community.’
