Inos, a Greek restaurant in Piccadilly in York city centre which opened its doors for the first time last spring, has been commended in the May edition of the Michelin Guide.

In their listing, the Michelin inspectors dubbed the restaurant ‘a simple, cheerful place with an informal bistro vibe and friendly service’ and said that the cooking offers great value for money.

They praised the cooking as ‘well-executed versions of classic dishes’ – highlighting the pita, dips, ‘keftedakia’ meatballs, moussaka, and ‘Portakalopia’ – Cretan cake with orange syrup, alongside authentic wines and spirits.

In a post on Instagram, Inos said that they were ‘very happy’ to share their selection, adding: “Achieving this recognition in our first year of operation makes us incredibly proud. A huge thank you to the whole INOS team for everyone’s hard work, passion, and dedication.

“We are also grateful to every customer who supported us, recommended us, and celebrated with us. We can’t wait to welcome you again.”

Speaking to The Press at the time of opening last year, director Martin Tsatsas – who is part of the Hull-based SASA Group – said that he had hoped to expand on the success of SASA Greek street food stand at Spark in York’s city centre.

He said: “INOS is not replacing SASA, it’s expanding on the story, offering a different experience altogether.”

“At Inos, we’re focusing on simple, ingredient-led Greek dishes, that are deeply rooted in tradition, prepared with care and minimal intervention.

“While SASA is all about bold, accessible street food, INOS will showcase the quieter elegance of Greek cuisine. It will be honest and genuine because you can’t cheat Greek food! It relies on simplicity, so every ingredient shines.

“What sets us apart is our focus on simplicity and authenticity. We let the ingredients speak, and we cook the way it’s done in Greece. We aim to create a harmonious experience that activates all the senses.

“Through food, drink, atmosphere, and warm, attentive service, we want to offer something more than a meal, we want to offer true Greek hospitality in its most genuine form. Inos will feel like stepping into a quiet island taverna—natural, warm, and unpretentious.”

He added that the group wanted to ‘express our heartfelt gratitude to York, to Spark York, and to all our loyal customers for helping make this next chapter possible’.

Also new to the guide is The General Tarleton at Ferrensby, near Knaresborough – a gastropub owned by Tommy Banks, which also opened last year.

An Arizona gym owner with a taste for exotic supercars posed as a high-flying arms dealer holding juicy foreign military contracts, allegedly fleecing investors who loaned him more than $10 million to manufacture a proprietary weapons system that never actually existed.

Instead, Brandon Aaron Kreutz, who placed fifth or better in a half-dozen McLaren Trophy America Pro-Am championship events last year, as well as a first-place finish in the Papaya Cup, spent the money on a race car, membership in a racing club, a million-dollar home, luxury travel, an extensive gun collection and “dozens” of luxury vehicles, according to an FBI affidavit unsealed Tuesday.

The affidavit, which is attached to a criminal complaint filed in Tucson federal court and reviewed by The Independent, says Kreutz, 40, also “concealed some of the victims’ funds in health-and-wellness business ventures and bank accounts owned by close associates,” resulting in dual wire fraud and money laundering charges.

Kreutz was arrested Wednesday and released the next day on a personal recognizance bond. He was called out several years ago by a veteran’s group for purportedly impersonating a Navy SEAL, and went by at least two aliases, including Brandon Aaron Moushey and Brandon Moushey-Kreutz.

Calls on Thursday to Kreutz’s cell phone went straight to voicemail.

Attorney Ryan Moore, a public defender assigned to represent Kreutz at his initial court appearance on Wednesday, did not respond to a request for comment.

In 2025, Kreutz – who maintains a relatively thin online presence – was featured on the Instagram page of a McLaren dealership in Scottsdale, introducing him as one of two drivers competing on behalf of the supercar manufacturer.

“With a background deeply rooted in motorsports and a relentless drive for improvement, Brandon brings skill, dedication, and a passion for competition to the team,” the post read. “… For Brandon, McLaren represents the ultimate driver’s car – raw, violent, and built for pure performance. That visceral connection to the machine fuels his excitement for competing in the McLaren Trophy Series and pushing the limits of both car and driver.”

Kreutz competed as a so-called “privateer,” meaning he self-financed his track outings, rather than being officially sponsored. He was additionally affiliated with Flying Lizard Motorsports, a California-based team that offers a “customer racing program” for deep-pocketed enthusiasts. A McLaren 620R, a “street-legal track car” which Kreutz used to compete, can cost upward of $300,000.

Neither organization is accused of any wrongdoing, and neither responded to requests for comment on Kreutz’s arrest.

Beginning in 2023, Kreutz, who held himself out as the owner of various companies in the firearms and fitness industries, embarked on a “scheme to obtain loans from Victims J, C.G., and P through the presentation of fraudulent pretenses and statements,” according to the FBI affidavit in his case.

“Kreutz falsely presented himself as a former subcontractor of the United States Government, the holder of a patent-pending firearms device… with contracts to produce the device, and a party to lucrative multi-million-dollar contracts with foreign governments for the purchase of the device.”

The loans would be used to fund the production and sales of the supposed product, with the investors receiving high returns in addition to repayment of their principal, Kreutz claimed, the affidavit continues.

“In reality, Kreutz did not apply for or obtain a patent on the device, controls no equipment capable of manufacturing the device, is not a party to any manufacturing contracts for the device, or a party to any international firearms contracts, and does not conduct any of the business activities he represented to the victims,” the affidavit states.

Kreutz took in $10,917,822.13 from at least three victims, and spent the money on himself, the affidavit goes on. It cites one example, in which “Victim P,” a Virginia resident, sent Kreutz $2.5 million to help fulfill the alleged military contracts he claimed to have.

On July 15, 2024, about one month after Kreutz received the money from Victim P, he wired $1,150,517.96 to an Arizona title company for the purchase of a home in Oro Valley, a Tucson suburb, according to the affidavit.

Kreutz has faced previous accusations of fraud, but none that resulted in criminal charges until now. In 2018, he was the subject of a video exposé by Don Shipley, a former Navy SEAL who now spends his retirement years tracking down instances of stolen valor.

According to Kreutz’s official service record, which The Independent reviewed, he did serve five years as an E-3 in the U.S. Navy, from September 2004 to September 2009. However, Kreutz, who claimed to be part of the non-existent “SEAL Team 9,” never was a SEAL, his separation papers show.

“I’m still getting s**t on him,” Shipley told The Independent. “When you’re telling someone you’re a SEAL and you weren’t, it’s fraud. You’re defrauding people.”

Under the terms of Kreutz’s pre-trial release, he is forbidden from owning any firearms, must participate in mental health counseling and cannot travel out of state without permission.

If convicted of wire fraud Kreutz faces up to 20 years in prison; the money laundering count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.

All that remains now in Albert Park, Middlesbrough, are the original plinth and the boots of the former Boro goalscoring hero.

Work to remove the statue began on Tuesday, May 19, just weeks after Sir Geoffrey Boycott, a close friend of Clough, publicly criticised the condition of the structure during a visit to Middlesbrough.

Sir Geoffrey said: “Cloughie deserves better than this. Brian Clough’s legacy is way better than that.”

His remarks followed his discovery of the statue behind fencing and covered in protective mesh, which he described as deeply upsetting.

The comments reignited public debate across Teesside and further afield, with figures such as Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen and former Middlesbrough mayor Andy Preston voicing their support.

The outcry also reached Nottingham, where Clough is immortalised by a statue near Old Market Square—unveiled in 2008 by his widow Barbara.

On Tuesday, council contractors arrived to carry out the removal in what marks the first major physical step in resolving the controversy.

Sir Geoffrey said: “I hope to see a clear timeline to get my old friend looking his finest.

“The public reaction tells you just how much Brian Clough still means to people in Middlesbrough and far beyond.”

Attention will now turn to what happens next and whether plans will be announced regarding the statue’s restoration and future location.

With only the plinth and Clough’s boots remaining in Albert Park, communities in Middlesbrough and beyond await updates on how the tribute will be reinstated.

Meanwhile, Sir Geoffrey is set to return to Teesside for his ‘An Evening With Sir Geoffrey Boycott’ event at The Hub at Teesside University on June 19.

The show will feature stories from his cricket career and reflections on sporting legends, including Clough.

Sir Geoffrey said: “It will be interesting to see the progress of Cloughie’s Middlesbrough statue when I revisit the town for my show in June.”

Donald Trump says that negotiations with Iran were “in the final stages”, while warning of further attacks unless Tehran agrees to a peace deal.

Six weeks since Trump paused Operation Epic Fury for a ceasefire, talks to end the war have ‌shown little progress. Trump said this week he came close to ordering more attacks, but held off to allow time for negotiations.

“We’re in the final stages of Iran. We’ll see what happens. Either have a deal or we’re going to do some things that are a little bit nasty, but hopefully that won’t happen,” he told reporters. “Ideally I’d like to see few people killed, as opposed to a lot. We can do it either way.”

Speaking later at the US Coast Guard Academy, Trump continued: “We may have to hit them very hard… but maybe not” – and reiterated his determination not to allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.

Tehran, for its part, accused Trump of plotting to restart the war, and threatened to retaliate for any strikes with attacks beyond the Middle East. “If aggression against Iran is repeated, the promised regional war will extend beyond the region this time,” the Revolutionary Guards said in a statement.

The airport has been completely transformed, and we got a look at all the changes.

Belfast International Airport has undergone a major £100 million overhaul, and we got a look at all the new and refurbished shops and restaurants.

There has been a lot of work done on the airport across the duty-free shops, restaurants and bars. It has seen the introduction of some new businesses to the space to enjoy before you head off on your flight.

We were invited in to have a tour of the airport and try out some of the food on offer.

The Lagan Bar

The “iconic” Lagan Bar has also fully reopened with a fresh look and increased capacity. As part of the redevelopment, the team have been keen to open up the space and increase the number of covers by around 25.

If you’re after a pre-flight tipple, a glass of house wine will set you back £8.15, and a bottle of beer starts at £6.50. With a fresh new look, you will hardly recognise The Lagan Bar, but they have assured it will still have the same “good craic” that everyone has come to expect.

The food offering here is pretty simple, with the menu consisting of burgers, wings, and sharing dishes. There is also a range of ‘sweet treats’ and hot drinks on offer.

Flax & Soda

Flax & Soda is one of the airport’s newest food and drink venues and is offering an approachable, family-friendly atmosphere.

Celebrating the best of Northern Ireland, Flax & Soda is a 280-cover space offering a flexible, all-day dining experience tailored to a wide range of passenger needs.

The menu celebrates both local and global influences – from Belfast baps, breakfast naans and soda bread Benedicts in the morning to a varied selection of burgers, curries, fish and chips, Turkish-inspired chicken kebabs and vibrant salads later in the day.

The space also features a bespoke mural celebrating the region’s rich history and culture by local artist Keith Drury, titled “Best of Belfast”, which serves as a striking centrepiece

The venue has also teamed up with Knead, a pizza restaurant that can be found in Common Market, has teamed up with the restaurant to add their pizzas to the menu for passengers to get when they’re passing through.

The Northern Quarter

This part of the airport has had a massive makeover and is completely unrecognisable.

The new and improved part of the airport comes with a new menu. You can pick up traditional breakfast items as well as burgers, sharing plates and light bites.

It will come with a fully serviced bar, and customers can pick up pints on draught, wine and spirits. It also provides non-alcoholic alternatives like 0.0% Guinness and Heineken.

As well as the new restaurant and bar, visitors to the airport will be able to pick a coffee from the new Bewleys coffee area within the Northern Quarter.

From barista coffee to hot meals and grab and go deals, Shipyard Cafe serves quality, convenience, and a warm welcome, whatever time your flight departs.

WHSmith

No airport is complete without a WHSmith, and Belfast International Airport is no different. While the airport store has always been there, it has now expanded and taken over the neighbouring unit, which was previously Boots.

As part of the refurbishment works, they have opened large windows to the rear of the store, making it much brighter. However, you can still pick up your meal deals and your holiday read on the way through.

Starbucks

While not new to the airport, the Starbucks has moved locations and expanded, offering customers a much more seamless experience.

Coffee lovers can pick up their usual orders alongside a range of tray bakes, sandwiches and breakfast items.

Pret A Manger

Pret is a relatively new addition to Belfast International Airport and offers passengers a great light-bite option.

Pret A Manger serves freshly made food and organic arabica coffee to fuel your travels through Belfast International Airport. You can pick up baguettes, salads, toasties, bakery treats and more every day, making it perfect for sitting in or grab-and-go.

Burger King

Burger King has been a stalwart of Belfast International Airport for years, and it has now got a new home next to The Lagan Bar.

With a range of self-service tills it will sell all of its famous menu items like the ‘Chicken Royale’ and the ‘Classic Whopper’.

Some work is still being carried out across the airport, but it is due to be fully completed in the coming weeks. Boots remains closed at the time of writing as it has moved and will reopen later in the summer.

Maya Jama has reportedly split from Manchester City footballer Ruben Dias after spending 18 months together.

The couple are said to have called time on their romance just three weeks before Maya flew to Inverness to film The Celebrity Traitors.

Their shock split comes after the pair first began dating in December 2024 after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester the month prior.

It has even been claimed that both Maya and Ruben have begun to delete loved-up photos of their time together, according to The Sun.

Maya had previously relocated to a mansion in Alderley Edge in Cheshire with Ruben after choosing to leave London to be closer to him.

Prior to dating Maya, Ruben was in a relationship with Portuguese singer April Ivy from 2018 to 2021.

Maya’s most famous romance before Ruben, meanwhile, was with British rapper Stormzy.

The Love Island host was first in a relationship with the singer from January 2015 until August 2019.

They then announced a sudden split before confirming they had secretly rekindled things just a few years later after being spotted on holiday in Greece.

Their 2023 reunion, however, lasted under a year before the pair seemed to call things quits for good.

Announcing their split in July 2024, the former said: ‘We’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup.

‘But for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that’s needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.’

‘We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we’ve spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits.’

Another romance of Maya’s included former NBA player Ben Simmons who went public with their relationship in July 2021.

However, after announcing their engagement less than a year later in January 2022, the pair ended up splitting.

Earlier this year, Maya and Ruben went through a ‘devastating’ ordeal in January after their home was attacked.

Thousands of pounds worth of items were reportedly stolen, including designer clothes, jewellery and electronics from their 6,300 sq ft, four-bedroom home.

Other amenities include an indoor leisure suite, landscaped gardens and a security system.

Metro has contacted Maya Jama for comment.
