Hawkins, who was beaten by John Higgins in the 2018 final, took control early on, winning the opening frame with a break of 105.

And although Lisowski drew level in the second frame, Hawkins would then go on to win six in a row.

Another century break in the fourth frame came in between three half-century breaks of 67, 76 and 88.

The afternoon ended with another Hawkins frame, as he led Lisowski 7-1 going into the tournament’s final session.

Lisowski, who was playing in his first Welsh Open final, showed great fight when the game restarted, putting together back-to-back century breaks to remind his opponent there was still work to do.

The 34-year-old then came out on top of a 40-minute frame which swung both ways to reduce Hawkins’ lead to 7-4.

But Lisowski’s momentum was ended in the following frame, as a long safety shot from Hawkins resulted in a red ball finding the bottom left pocket of the table.

And Hawkins made the most of the opportunity, putting together a break of 68 to put him on the cusp of victory.

Lisowski managed to win one more frame, with a break of 53, before Hawkins clinched the Welsh Open title in the 14th frame of the final.

“I was very poor despite trying my best,” said Lisowski.

“Barry was by far the better player today and he deserves his win.

“He’s been great to me my whole career, even when I was very young. He’s always given me the time of day so I’m very happy for him.”

One person said the high street “isn’t the place it used to be”

Locals say their town’s high street needs to be improved, as it has “no banks” and they have to travel further away for a “big food shop”. People in Chatteris have said their hometown is “charming”.

However, as in many high streets across the UK, they say that their shops are disappearing and places are being left vacant. Like many others, people living in Chatteris wish to see their high street improved.

Andrea Moat, who runs the “busy” Elizabeth’s Florist in Chatteris, said it is a “pity” the high street is looking more empty. She said: “It’s a pity there is not a big supermarket closer. People have to travel further out of town. There are also no banks. It’s harder for older people.”

People are able to use Chatteris post office for banking, which Elizabeth said is “really good”. However, the nearest bank is Lloyds in Ely, which is a 21-minute drive away, or Nationwide in St Ives, which is a 28-minute drive away.

Andrea doesn’t run an online service for her florist. She added: “We have a website, but if you want to order then you have to come into the shop. I think there should be a personal service. We are always busy.”

Joan Bridges said Chatteris is a “really lovely place”, but it “lacks somewhere for a big food shop”. She added: “You tend to have to travel a bit for a supermarket. It isn’t the worst thing, but for someone like me who’s a bit older, it tends to be a bit harder.”

Rob Hudson believes the town “isn’t the place it used to be”. He said: “When I first moved here, it was a great place full of friendly people. Now the high street is more empty. The people are the same and friendly, but the high street isn’t the same.”

The alleged attack followed the death of Iran’s leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they have attacked the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Gulf following strikes that killed the country’s supreme leader.

“The US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was struck by four ballistic missiles,” the Guards said in a statement carried by local media, warning that “the land and sea will increasingly become the graveyard of the terrorist aggressors.”

Authorities in the US have not confirmed the claim of the alleged strike.

However US Central Command has blasted the claim as a “lie” the Mirror reports, as authorities in the US have not confirmed the claim of the alleged strike. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement carried by local media: “The US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was struck by four ballistic missiles.”

They also added: “The land and sea will increasingly become the graveyard of the terrorist aggressors.” This follows the death of the country’s leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

CENTCOM, the US Central Command, has said in a ‘fact check’ that The Lincoln “was not hit” and has slammed the claim as a “lie”.

The statement on X reads: “Iran’s IRGC claims to have struck USS Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles. LIE. The Lincoln was not hit. The missiles launched didn’t even come close.

“The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of CENTCOM’s relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime.”

It comes as CENTCOM confirmed three US service members had been killed in action, with five more seriously wounded, since Operation Epic Fury began yesterday. As US-Israeli missiles rained down on Iran, killing supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the process, Tehran has launched retaliatory strikes across the Middle East – targeting US bases in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain and Kuwait.

In a statement, the US military said: “Three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury. Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty.

“Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing. The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.”

BANGKOK (AP) — The U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran rattled world markets on Monday, with U.S. futures initially falling more than 1% and oil prices soaring, though both moderated as trading picked up.

The futures for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average were down about 0.8% by mid-morning in Bangkok.

Asian shares opened lower.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 index initially fell more than 2%, but by midday Tokyo time it was down 1.5% at 57,981.54.

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng lost 1.6% to 26,215.91, and the Shanghai Composite index was flat at 4,163.01.

Taiwan’s benchmark lost 0.6% and Singapore’s dropped 1.9%. In Bangkok, the SET fell 2.1%.

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.3% to 9,173.50.

Markets were closed in South Korea for a holiday.

The price of gold, usually viewed as a safe haven for investment in times of uncertainty, rose 2.4% to about $5,371 per ounce.

Traders were betting the supply of oil from Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East would slow or grind to a halt. Attacks throughout the region, including on two vessels traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, have restricted countries’ ability to export oil to the rest of the world.

“Roughly one-fifth of global oil and LNG (liquefied natural gas) flows squeeze through the Strait of Hormuz. This is not an obscure canal. It is the aorta of the global energy system,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary.

The price of a barrel of U.S. benchmark crude oil initially surged about 8%. It later was trading 5.9% higher at $71.00 per barrel. Brent crude jumped 6.2% to $77.38 per barrel.

A prolonged war would likely result in higher prices for other fuels and gasoline and could cascade throughout the global economy, adding to production costs overall.

Likewise, prolonged interruptions to oil flows through the Middle East would have “huge implications for oil and LNG and every market everywhere if it occurs. Energy is an input to ALL production,” RaboResearch Global Economics & Markets said in a report.

Iran exports roughly 1.6 million barrels of oil a day, mostly to China. It may need to look elsewhere for supply if Iran’s exports are disrupted, another factor that could increase energy prices.

But China has ample oil reserves of up to 1.5 billion barrels, and it can offset a decline in oil from Iran by increasing imports from Russia, said Michael Langham of Aberdeen Investments.

The attacks were anticipated, with a massive buildup of U.S. forces in the Middle East, so traders had adjusted their positions to take that risk into account.

The conflict has shifted attention, for now, away from issues surrounding artificial intelligence that have dominated markets in recent months.

On Friday, the S&P 500 fell 0.4% to finish just its second losing month in the last 10. The Dow industrials dropped 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.9%.

Treasury yields fell in the bond market as investors sought safer places for their money.

“When markets are fragile, they do not need a knockout blow. They just need another weight on the bar,” Innes said.

Also hurting the broad market was a report Friday showing that inflation at the U.S. wholesale level was at 2.9% last month, much higher than the 1.6% that economists expected.

That could pressure the Federal Reserve to hold off longer on its cuts to interest rates. Lower rates would give the economy and prices for investments a boost, but they risk worsening inflation at the same time.

In other dealings early Monday, the U.S. dollar rose to 156.34 Japanese yen from 156.27 late Friday. The euro slipped to $1.1789 from $1.1762.

People turned up in their dozens to cheer on runners taking part, of which there were 850.

The Bolton half-marathon and 10k made its debut in town today.

Today’s event winners both coming from the Bolton and East Lancashire area.

But all good sporting events need an adoring and enthusiastic crowd to spur them on, and the half-marathon and 10k was no exception.

Clio Parkinson came out to support her husband, Connor Butterworth, competing in the 10k.

She said: “It is the first run event he has ever done, and his first ever 10k. 

“He is hoping for an hour, but we will see how it goes. It is good to see this here.” 

Clio said they came from Chorley for the race, but that they are originally from Westhoughton. 

She added: “He signed up to the Chorley 10k but thought he would do this one first as well.”

She said: “It’s brilliant. I’m glad it is dry, it is ideal running weather and is well-supported by people. 

“Hopefully it will raise a lot of money for Bolton Hospice and any other charities people are running for.” 

Chris Neill, who is in training for the Manchester Marathon himself, was cheering from the sidelines for his girlfriend, Sarah Scales. 

He said: “She is running the 10k with her mate. We are both very much into our running.” 

Louisa and Craig Sedgwick (Image: Newsquest)

He added that, with both of them being from Bolton, the event is a good thing for the town, saying the turnout of 850 competitors is “great for a first event”. 

Louisa and Craig Sedgwick were out on Spa Road, cheering on their family and friend on the half marathon, having come down from Bromley Cross. 

Speaking about having the event on their doorstep, Louisa said: “It’s amazing, it is brilliant, they do Manchester, but it is a faff to get in and get parking, and you don’t see as much. 

“They definitely need to do it more.” 

Belgian forces seized a suspected Russian shadow fleet vessel in the North Sea with the help of the French navy on Sunday.

Defence minister Theo Francken said the oil tanker was thought to be sailing with a “false flag and false documents”.

The vessel, named Ethera, had long been on the US, EU, and UK sanctions list, and has since been escorted to the port of Zeebrugge.

“Without his shadow fleet Putin can’t wage war against innocent Ukrainians. So we take these vessels out. One by one. Till his war of aggression stops,” Mr Francken said.

Volodymyr Zelensky praised Belgium and French forces for the “decisive decision”, adding that “Russia operates like a mafia organisation, and the response must match that reality.”

Western sanctions imposed on Russia have led to the rise of a “shadow fleet” of tankers helping Moscow to keep its crude exports flowing.

Emmanuel Macron said the seizure, which was assisted by French navy helicopters, was a “major blow” to Russia’s fleet.

“Europeans are determined to cut off the sources of funding for Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine by enforcing sanctions,” the French president said.

Russia condemns US-Israel strikes on Iran as ‘unprovoked act of armed aggression’

Russia has condemned the US-Israeli strikes on Iran as “a pre-planned and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state,” demanding an immediate halt to the military campaign and a return to diplomacy.

In a statement posted to Telegram, the Russian foreign ministry accused Washington and Tel Aviv of “hiding behind” concerns about Iran’s nuclear program while actually pursuing regime change.

It warned the attacks risked triggering a “humanitarian, economic and possibly radiological catastrophe” in the region and accused the US and Israel of “plunging the Middle East into an abyss of uncontrolled escalation.”

Zelensky says changes in Iran must be used properly

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has called for the changes in Iran brought about by US and Israeli strikes to be “used properly” to ⁠benefit the country’s people who had withstood violence from their authorities.

It is important that this chance for change for Iran be used properly, he said.

Zelensky, speaking in his nightly video address, said Iran’s authorities had killed “tens of ⁠thousands of its own citizens just in recent months”.

“The Iranian people have long effectively been alone against violence – against the Iranian regime. This regime, which has killed tens of thousands of its own citizens just in recent months, which has always fueled and organised wars in the region, which provided Russia with ‘shaheds’ and the technology for their production – this regime has brought this attitude upon itself,” he said.

He added: “I thank everyone who is trying to prevent the war from expanding and who is defending against strikes from Iran. And I also thank everyone who tells Russia – now, based on the experience of the Iranian regime – that justice does come.“

Next three-way peace talks depend on security situation and diplomacy, says Zelensky

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said the time and place of the next round of peace talks between the US, Russia and Ukraine would depend on the security situation in the Middle East and the level of “real diplomatic possibilities”.

Zelensky said he would issue fresh directives to Ukraine’s negotiating team at the talks, without detailing what they were.

On Thursday, he had said the next round of talks would probably take place in Abu Dhabi in early March.

However, the UAE has since been caught up in hostilities after the US and Israel launched aerial attacks on Iran.

Ukrainians made it through winter, says Zelensky

Russia hit Ukraine with more than 14,670 guided aerial bombs, 738 missiles, and nearly 19,000 attack drones over winter, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

In the last week of February alone, it used more than 1,720 attack drones, nearly 1,300 guided aerial bombs, and over 100 missiles to attack Ukraine.

Ukrainian civilians have faced their toughest winter yet as Moscow repeatedly target’s the country’s energy system, leaving hundreds of thousands without power for long periods.

“But despite everything, Ukrainians made it through this difficult winter, when Russia did not even try to seek justification for its bestial strikes on civilian critical infrastructure,” the Ukrainian president said.

“Evil must be confronted in every part of the world. When the United States and other partners show enough determination, even the bloodiest dictators ultimately pay for their crimes. I thank everyone who helps Ukraine defend itself and save lives.”

On March 3, we experience the first Full Moon Eclipse of 2026 — and this powerful lunar event (in Leo) is a confidence, ego and overdue decisions wake-up call, for every star sign.

Eclipses are always a little unpredictable because everything is amplified and accelerated, so you need to remain calm and steadfast throughout, not letting emotions or sensitivities guide your decisions or reactions. Take a beat, breathe, step back.

The Leo influence this time will hype up the drama, make you feel super confident, potentially even slightly arrogant, and everything might seem a little more urgent, intense, and impactful.

Your true desires for yourself, how you’re seen by others, and what impact you make on your realm come to the surface and you feel empowered to act on them. So does everyone else.

This can lead to clashes and conflict if you’re not aligned.

Let’s take a peek at the tarot cards to understand what might be in store for you and how you can handle this energy with dynamism… and not more drama!

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for the Full Moon Eclipse in Leo: Page of Cups

Avert the drama by doing this with compassion, love and curiosity. This is not about settling scores or imposing your version of events on others. Connect to your inner child, unleash a powerful idea, and explore it fully.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for the Full Moon Eclipse in Leo: Knight of Wands

Meaning: This card represents adventure, excitement, spontaneity, swashbuckling courage and confidence.

Be dynamic by acting like you cannot fail and taking bold, brave leaps into the unknown.

Avert the drama by making this fun, keeping the mood hopeful (rather than fearful) and knowing you’re only ever one decision away from another success. Life is an adventure — live this way and thrive.

vert the drama by doing this calmly, steadily, and based on your own reasons — don’t accuse or divert blame elsewhere, even if justified. Focus on yourself. What you’re leaving behind is already over. It’s time to openly accept this and move.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Leo

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for the Full Moon Eclipse in Leo: Seven of Swords

Meaning: This card represents suspicion, ill intent, shady actions or jealous watchfulness. It’s likely you have a foe or frenemy close by (you can feel it) and it’s time to act. Be dynamic by trusting your instincts and withdrawing your exposure to this person, role, situation or energy. Protect yourself.

Avert the drama by doing this privately, quietly, resolutely. Don’t get others involved. Don’t make a scene. Act with stealth… then sit back and watch the show. You know how to handle haters. Your silence is the answer.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Virgo

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for the Full Moon Eclipse in Leo: Death

Meaning: This card represents rebirth, transformation, an ending that is the embryo of your most powerful new beginning. What are you transitioning from and to? Be dynamic by entering this process with an open mind and heart. Don’t cling to anything right now. Release what doesn’t fit, work or serve.

Avert the drama by being led by hope not fear. Don’t worry about the (necessary and natural) endings; instead look to the new beginnings. Between now and November, your life and selfhood are changing, for the better. You won’t recognise yourself!

Tarot card for Scorpio for the Full Moon Eclipse in Leo: The Moon

Be alert, and be dynamic by actively zooming in on areas you feel are inauthentic, untrue, or not being shown fully. Ask questions, validate, probe, research.

Avert the drama by doing this with an open mind, a non-judgemental attitude, and a clear intent to establish truth, not expose folk or make trouble. You are on a journey of discovery that will lead you to an important, game-changing truth. Don’t make any major moves or decisions until this mini mission is complete.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for the Full Moon Eclipse in Leo: Page of Swords

Meaning: This card represents mental confusion, hot/cold or yes/no energy, duality and second-guessing yourself. My guess is that you’ve been going in circles about something. It’s time to consult your compass, fix your point, and head in a new direction. Be dynamic by giving yourself permission to make a choice and act it out. If it’s wrong, well, then you just make another choice.

Avert the drama by taking all the pressure of perfectionism away. This is all a flow, a journey and an experiment, no one is watching and judging! You need to let yourself off the hook.

Be dynamic by using your strengths, allies, and past experience to build a robust plan of action, and then walk the walk.

Avert the drama by focusing your efforts and attention on your progress and results (not theirs). Don’t get swept up in comparison envy. Hard work beats most things, even talent, because it delivers results.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for the Full Moon Eclipse in Leo: The High Priestess

Avert the drama by being patient, compassionate and creative about the messages you receive, take your time in putting them together coherently. Trust yourself. You are learning the real truth, and it comes from within.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

The driver of a white Mercedes was reported on Wednesday (February 25) for driving whilst disqualified and without insurance after being stopped by North Yorkshire Police in The Crescent, Scarborough.

The driver, a man from Hull, had initially failed to stop when PC Varey and PC Redhead from Scarborough’s Professional Development Unit had signalled for him to pull over.

Recommended reading:

A force spokesperson explained: “Following a check on the Police National Computer, the car was identified as not having a valid insurance policy.

“The officers signalled to the car to stop, but the blue lights in the mirror had a different effect on the driver, who appeared not to want to stop as they quickly drove in The Crescent.”

After successfully initiating a stop a short while later, further checks were made on the driver, who was found to have been disqualified from driving in 2023 and did not hold a licence.

In a statement, police said: “The insurance expired in November last year, so the car was seized.”
