Los Angeles police have fatally shot a man who allegedly threatened them with a tree trimmer.

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department were called to Zimran Canas’ home in the Boyle Heights neighborhood on Monday at around 10 a.m. local time.

The department said in a news release that they were told the man had a mental illness and was armed with a “metal pipe.”

When officers arrived at the home — located east of downtown Los Angeles — a family member came outside and directed them to Canas, “who exited a front gate armed with an approximate 8-foot pole with an approximate 12-inch serrated blade attached to the end,” according to the cops.

Police said they demanded that Canas drop the tree trimmer, but he refused and approached one of the officers “with the blade pointed toward the officer, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting.”

“They gave him commands to drop the item, but he advanced towards the officers,” LAPD Captain Mike Bland told local outlet KABC. “The officers did attempt to redeploy their position, but he continued to advance and not comply with their directives to drop the item and submit to arrest.”

Canas collapsed to the ground and officers provided first aid until paramedics arrived. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

No one else, including any officer, was injured during the incident.

It’s unclear how many officers drew their weapons and how many shots were fired. The Independent has reached out to the LAPD for comment.

Police recovered the metal pipe and pole with a serrated blade and booked them as evidence.

The LAPD’s Force Investigation Division is investigating the incident.

“Part of that process would include interviews with the involved officers, any body-worn video that they would have, any other video in the area, as well as interviews with any of the involved persons that were here at scene,” Bland said.

The bankruptcy filing was made in the federal district court of New Jersey, where LIV Golf set up a subsidiary earlier in the summer.

Chapter 11 protection postpones a US company’s obligations to its creditors, giving it time to reorganise its debts or sell parts of the business.

PIF is providing a bankruptcy loan of $49.6m (£36.6m) – called ‘debtor in possession’ (DIP) financing – to help fund the process.

When announcing its decision to withdraw funding, PIF said the “substantial investment required by LIV Golf over a longer term” was “no longer consistent” with its strategy.

Despite its decision to stop bankrolling LIV Golf, PIF added it “remains committed” to its “substantial current and future investments in various sports as a priority sector”.

On Tuesday, LIV confirmed international investment firm BC Partners as its proposed new investor in a letter to fans outlining its “next phase”.

“LIV Golf has entered a court-supervised restructuring process that provides us with the time and framework to address previous financial obligations and complete a transaction that will make the league’s next phase a reality,” said the letter.

“Put simply, this process is designed to build a stronger and more sustainable future for LIV Golf.”

O’Neil added in a statement: “This process gives us the structure and time to pursue a landmark transaction and begin the next chapter of LIV Golf – one built around the fans, an innovative, player-first ownership model, and a part of the global golf ecosystem.”

In yet another indication the free-spending days of LIV 1.0 are over, the letter said the new league would be “built around a sustainable business model”.

Players are set to be given equity and individual commercial rights are set to be returned to players, giving them greater earning potential. In terms of prize money, LIV Golf purses are set to be lower than events on the PGA Tour – which has risen in part because of the existence of LIV – but higher than events on the DP World Tour.

The letter also outlined proposed changes, with field sizes expanding to 75 players, the introduction of a cut, creating qualifiers and having more teams that “embrace national identities”, with the ambitions for teams to “grow into enduring global sports businesses”.

She moved house last week and Stacey Solomon has already made sure to share some hilarious content with fans as she got ready in their humongous new bathroom. 

The TV presenter, 36, gave fans a tour of her huge en suite bathroom on Tuesday, which is complete with a giant bath, sauna and bizarre nude murals. 

And Stacey and her husband Joe Swash made the most of their new bathroom as they shared hilarious snaps ahead of the National Television Awards (NTAs). 

Joking that the bathroom looks almost identical to the bath scene in the 1983 film Scarface, Stacey wowed in her black dress while Joe posed smiled from the bath. 

She penned: ‘Getting ready for the NTAs in the Scarface bathroom. I just can’t with this room.

‘I wholeheartedly love to imagine in my head that this is exactly how the people would dress in this bathroom back in the day couldn’t help myself with these pictures.

‘Happy Wednesday everyone crossing our fingers for tonight.’

The couple were nominated in the Reality Docuseries for their reality show Stacey & Joe, which has been commissioned for a third series. 

Stacey has previously gone viral for her frustrations after missing out at the NTAs in previous years so was hoping to bring home the accolade this year – however they lost out to Jeremy Clarkson’s hit Prime Video show Clarkson’s Farm. 

And the mother-of-five made the evening a family affair as her and Joe were joined by Stacey’s eldest children Zach, 18, and Leighton, 14. 

Posing with her sons on the red carpet, the star had also invited her nieces, Mila and Darcy to the glam event. 

After a busy few days moving house, Stacey looked sensational as she slipped into a black one shoulder dress which featured a high leg slit. 

The star swept her brunette locks off her face in an up do and completed the look with black heels.  

Meanwhile Joe opted for a classic black tie look as he was seen grabbing selfies with fans. 

It’s been a busy week for Stacey Solomon and her family after they moved out of their £1.3million home Pickle Cottage last week. 

And fans have joked the master suite in her new Victorian home is ‘bigger than my flat’. 

The television personality gave her followers a tour of her new bedroom – complete with kooky dressing room, the ‘biggest bathroom ever’ and a sauna – on Monday. 

Revealing the extensive renovations required, Stacey asked fans for advice as she showed off their new master suite.

The spacious bedroom was wallpapered floor to ceiling and had a huge bay window overlooking the countryside. 

Stacey joked her furniture looked like it was from the film The Borrowers because of the sheer scale of the space. She said: ‘It makes everything I’ve got look tiny.’

‘I don’t know what to do here. There is so much space, I need your help. All I know is they have wallpapered every inch of this house, so that’s going to be fun.’ 

Stacey then went on to show the wardrobes which she said had ‘creepy coving’ but she loved their ornateness and the lock and key detail. She also showed even more wardrobe space in the form of a large room with rails and shelves off the suite.

Next up on the tour Stacey said: ‘This was the craziest, biggest bathroom I’ve ever seen in my whole entire life. The tiles they’re actually hand painted. 

‘They’re just loads of naked people. Don’t get me started on this giant swimming pool basically. Last but not least, this room just gets better and better – the sauna.’ 

Stacey said she had no idea how to use the sauna and would need to get it serviced. 

And while the bath looked impressive, the TV star revealed it is unusable at the moment after what debris they found in the tank. 

The future of it is being reviewed

More children are reportedly suffering more head injuries after falling from scooters, a councillor has claimed. The claim has been made as concerns have been raised over a contract to provide e-bikes and scooters across parts of the county.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority currently has a contract with Voi to provide e-bikes and e-scooters across Cambridge and some surrounding areas. They were introduced as part of a trial in 2020 which has since been extended until May 2028.

It is illegal to ride a privately owned e-scooter in public – only those offered by Voi as part of the trial can be legally used in the city. But some councillors have raised concerns over the vehicles blocking pavements, cluttering public spaces and the safety of riders.

The combined authority’s overview and scrutiny panel asked for a report on the “social value” of e-scooters and data on injuries. Cllr Anna Bradnam, of South Cambs District Council, said they had also asked for data on illegal scooters and e-bikes too.

She also asked for information to be provided by organisations that deal with head and brain injuries such as Headway and children’s hospices. The Liberal Democrat councillor said: “Coincidentally, I have visited a hospice and just asked them out of the blue – because the hospice deals with children with life-limiting and life-changing conditions – have you seen more children come in because of falling off scooters?

“They said, ‘oh, yes’ – I was really quite surprised, but of course lots of people on scooters don’t wear helmets.”

Cllr Hugh Clough, of Cambridge City Council, said Voi had not consulted them before deciding where to put designated drop-off points. The Green councillor said: “Voi’s actual responsiveness to concerns raised by the public and councillors is a major issue in our area.

“The lack of any sort of willingness to engage with councillors – that problem was raised too many times. We’ve all got the list of problem sites where people can’t get through, can’t get in – you can’t even get your mobility scooter or wheelchair through. It’s a festering problem which needs to be addressed.”

Cllr Bradnam asked for the topic to be brought to the panel as part of the January 2027 agenda list.

Erling Haaland scored both goals as Manchester City claimed a 2-0 win over Porto in the Champions League on Tuesday night

Erling Haaland praised new Manchester City signing Ayyoub Bouaddi after the victory over Porto, and jokingly claimed that he was “angry” with his new teammate. City claimed a 2-0 win over the Portuguese club in their first league phase fixture in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Haaland scored both goals for City in the second half, with the first coming just after the interval thanks to the Norway international getting on the end of a cross from deadline day signing Enzo Fernandez.

After the game, Haaland was asked for his verdict on Bouaddi’s performance for City, and went on to jokingly say he was “angry” with his teammate, after explaining why he has been happy with what he’s seen in training.

“I think he [Bouaddi] had a really good game,” Haaland told Amazon Prime after City’s win in Portugal. “The last couple of weeks in training, I just told the chairman, he’s been amazing in training and everything.

“So I think we’ve got a gem there, to be honest. But I think he should have played me through during the second half, I was all alone.

“So I was a bit angry, and I will tell him right now. But he played a good game, except that pass.”

Haaland went on to explain what new manager Enzo Maresca expects from both himself and the rest of the Man City squad in the early weeks of the head coach’s time in charge.

The City striker added: “We have to learn, Enzo [Maresca] has to demand a lot from us. We have to demand a lot from each other.

“And we have to win games, because at Man City you have to win games and win trophies, so that’s what we have to do at this club.”

City will now prepare to return to Premier League action this weekend, where they will travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in the Manchester derby.

Maresca’s side are one of only two clubs in the Premier League to win all three of their opening matches, along with Arsenal, with City currently top of the table on goals scored.

George Clooney spoke with heartrending candor about the final moments of his sister Adelia ‘Ada’ Zeidler, who succumbed to cancer last December aged 65.

‘She died very quickly, and I was with her when she died,’ Clooney remembered this week while giving a masterclass at the Venice Film Festival.

‘And there was this feeling, being with her, holding her hand when she died, understanding how brief all of this is,’ he said, via Variety.

‘It was minutes ago that she and I were little kids together; Minutes ago we were holding hands as little kids,’ said the Good Night, and Good Luck director.

Clooney, who was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the festival, reflected: ‘Time goes fast. All of this. And so we have to find nothing but joy.’

Although Ada led a life outside the public eye, she was spotted with her world famous brother in Venice in 2014, the pair of them riding through a canal together during their visit to the city for his wedding to his wife Amal Clooney.

‘She died very quickly, and I was with her when she died,’ Clooney remembered this week while giving a masterclass at the Venice Film Festival 

Clooney previously described Ada as his ‘hero’ when he broke his silence on her death in a statement released the following day.

‘She faced down cancer with courage and humor. I’ve never met anyone so brave. Amal and I will miss her terribly,’ said the Ocean’s Eleven star.

Ada’s official obituary described her as a ‘talented artist’ in her own right who ‘died peacefully’ while ‘surrounded by the people she loved’ on December 19, 2025.

Three days after her death at a branch of St Elizabeth Healthcare in Kentucky, her funeral was held at Patrick Catholic Church in Maysville.

A decade before Ada’s death, Clooney remarked that he was ‘very close to’ his sister, in an interview with Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning.

‘And I’ve got a niece and nephew. My nephew was just made prom king from the high school that I went to where I was not named,’ he quipped.

Ada was born in Los Angeles on May 2, 1960 to Nick and Nina Clooney, just one year and four days before her movie star brother.

George and Ada Clooney hailed from a showbiz family – their father was a noted radio host and liberal activist, while their aunt was the celebrated jazz singer Rosemary Clooney, who also featured in the classic 1954 movie White Christmas. 

Ada and her brother were spotted in Venice in 2014, the pair of them riding along a canal together during their visit to the city for his wedding to his wife Amal Clooney 

Ada married retired army captain Normal Zeidler in 1987 and welcomed two children with him before he died of a heart attack in October 2004

Nina, a onetime beauty queen, shared warm memories of the way her children played with each other during their childhood in Kentucky, in a 2006 interview with HGTV.

She laughingly recalled arriving home from work to see George and Ada having a party with their friends and goofing around with marshmallows.

The children, she said, ‘would lick one side of’ each marshmallow ‘and throw them at each other. When I came in, there were marshmallows stuck all over the room.’

Clooney has also painted a fond portrait of the gentle environment in rural Kentucky where he and Ada passed their childhoods.

‘All the things we see on cable news of people being unkind to one another doesn’t exist,’ he said in a 2019 interview with the Nashville paper the Tennessean. ‘They have to get along. I was really lucky to be raised in a small town like that.’

Ada married retired army captain Normal Zeidler in 1987 and raised two children with him before he died of a heart attack in October 2004.

The bride’s brother reportedly gave a scripture reading at the Zeidler wedding, where Rosemary is said to have treated the guests to a song.

Telegraph Fantasy Football: last week’s insights

 

Captain Fantastic

Man Utd’s 39 per cent-owned midfielder Bruno Fernandes (£6.5m) netted a hat-trick and added an assist as the Red Devils thrashed Ipswich at Old Trafford. Team-mate Bryan Mbeumo (£4.4m) also got in on the action with a goal himself.

Maresca’s City slickers

After a sluggish GW1, Enzo Maresca’s side sprang into life in GW2 with an emphatic 4-1 win at Crystal Palaces. Erling Haaland (£8.3m) and Rayan Cherki (£4.5m) both returned doubles as last year’s runners-up put the Londoners to the sword.

Resolute Gunners

Arsenal have picked up where last season finished, restricting their opponents to limited chances and returning back-to-back clean sheets. The injury to Cristhian Mosquera (£3.7m) may open the door for Ezri Konsa (£3.5m); if the latter looks primed to start there could be a flurry of activity with TFF managers acquiring the champions’ recent recruit’s services.

Telegraph Fantasy Football Tips: Game Week 3

The Telegraph Fantasy Football player list has been analysed ahead of the upcoming games, and these look like the best players to transfer in:

 

1. Rayan Cherki (£4.5m)

The aforementioned France international already has four attacking returns in his two appearances this season and looks likely to start in the No.10 role at home to hapless Coventry City on Saturday.

2. Igor Thiago (£4.6m)

Last season’s Golden Boot runner-up has yet to score in the league this season, but a home game against a Black Cats side who lost their opening away game at Ipswich is the perfect platform to get off the mark.

3. Nico O’Reilly (£4.2m)

Deployed predominantly in one of Manchester City’s No.8 roles last time out, the attacking full-back-cum-midfielder could do as well as some of his attacking colleagues against the newly promoted Championship winners.

Vitor Matos’ side fell to defeat away to Southampton in their first loss of the campaign

Cyle Larin scored his fifth goal of the season as Southampton beat Swansea 3-1 to humble a table-topper for the second home match in a row.

Larin, who is the joint-top scorer in the Championship, netted either side of Finn Azaz and Leo Scienza strikes to make it 13 games unbeaten at St Mary’s in a row.

It followed Saints hammering previous leaders Millwall 5-1 10 days ago, although Swansea – who netted through Zan Vipotnik’s penalty – stayed level on points at the summit.

Swansea made five changes from the side which drew with Wrexham at the weekend and failed to have a shot on target in the first half – with the majority of their efforts blocked long before reaching Daniel Peretz.

On the other hand, the hosts were rampant as they eased through the Swans’ lines.

Scienza and Ryan Manning were the first to find open spaces behind their opposition in the fourth minute, but after their neat interchange, Azaz skied high into the stand.

But five minutes later the Republic of Ireland international found the bottom corner with a low left-footed shot, after Flynn Downes had powered through.

It was Azaz’s first goal in seven attempts against Swansea, his second of the season, and just the second goal the Swans had conceded in 2026-27.

Larin was the second player to go from putting supporters in the Chapel Stand at risk before scoring.

The Canadian snatched at a half-volley after a corner in the 25th minute, before sliding home eight minutes later.

This time James Bree had made the run in behind the porous defence before squaring to Larin for his fifth league strike of the campaign, after two blanks.

Midfielder Downes had an opportunity to completely put the game to bed two minutes before the interval but he hooked over the crossbar after a Larin knockdown.

Swansea boss Vitor Matos sent winger Ronald on at half-time and he brought immediate energy by bundling a shot over.

It was contagious for the away side, and within 10 minutes of the restart they had pulled a goal back.

Bree pulled back Vipotnik at the back post before the Slovenian picked himself up to fire into the bottom left corner from the spot – his seventh straight penalty success.

Despite a far more even balance of play, Southampton still had the better chances, as Keven Schlotterbeck’s poke forced a good save and Larin’s improvised header bounced narrowly wide.

And Scienza – who had seen a lashed shot battered away – secured the three points 12 minutes from the end by calmly slotting into the corner after being released by Kuryu Matsuki.
