French hopeful Arthur Gea made a memorable, if uncomfortable, French Open debut Sunday, dramatically dashing from his first-round match for an emergency bathroom break early in the first set.

Trailing 13th-seeded Karen Khachanov 4-2, Gea urgently informed the chair umpire in French, “I need to go to the bathroom. I can’t move anymore. I’m going to (go) on the court,” before hastily running off Court Suzanne-Lenglen.

This unscheduled mid-set departure, typically reserved for breaks between sets, drew a protest from Khachanov as three minutes passed without play. The 135th-ranked Gea ultimately fell to his opponent 6-3, 7-6 (3).

Gea later explained the umpire permitted the break due to “medical circumstances,” and he was given medicine for stomach pain. He said he had woken up feeling unwell, a condition that intensified during play.

“During the match it was even worse,” he said. “I had to go to the toilet really quick.”

The intense Roland Garros heat, with lunchtime temperatures hitting 31 degrees Celsius (88 Fahrenheit), likely compounded his discomfort.

“It was harder than usual, because I was ill,” the 21-year-old added.

Gea had received a wild card invitation from organizers to participate in the main draw.

Among the early matches on Day 1 of the clay-court Grand Slam were 13th-seeded Khachanov against Gea on Court Suzanne-Lenglen and 15th-seeded Marta Kostyuk against Oksana Selekhmeteva on Court Simonne-Mathieu.

Spectators folded newspapers in half and fanned themselves to keep cool as players on court attempted to stay hydrated.

The opening match on Court Philippe-Chatrier, the main stadium, was due to start an hour later with 11th-seeded Belinda Bencic playing Sinja Kraus.

The night match on Chatrier features three-time champion Novak Djokovic against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.

Two days after his 39th birthday, Djokovic will play a men’s record 82nd Grand Slam tournament — one more than Roger Federer and Feliciano Lopez.

Here are some of the aircraft you might be seeing at the next IWM Duxford flying day.

The Imperial War Museum (IWM) Duxford’s flying season has started with the next event at the start of June. The iconic museum has a range of events happening from May through to October, including themed flying days.

On Saturday, June 6, the IWM Duxford will be holding the Flying Days: D-Day event that will celebrate the air base’s role in Operative Overlord that provided “air support for D-Day operations”. While the display is the main event, visitors will be able to take a look around the museum and its exhibitions.

If you already have tickets or are thinking about whether to buy some, you might want to see what planes will be performing in the display. The impressive line-up includes classic Spitfires as well as aircraft that flew in the Korean War.

Spitfire Mk 1

The Spitfire Mk I N3200 is the museum’s only airworthy aircraft and played an important role in the Dunkirk Campaign. The aircraft was restored to flying condition in 2014 and was donated to the IWM by Dr Kaplan and his family.

Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann

Described as ‘sporty’, the Jungmann was used as a basic trainer for the Luftwaffe as well as featuring in aerial performance competitions. The plane proved to be quite popular with private pilots too, who have opted to have the Jungmann refitted with modern engines.

LeVier Cosmic Wind

The LeVier Cosmic Wind was designed and built by the Lockheed Corporation in 1947 and was originally created for Formula 1 class racing. The plane did not successfully race in the US but has won the premier cross-country competition in the UK in 1964.

Republic P-47D Thunderbolt

The P-47D Thunderbolt, also known as ‘the Jug’, was one of the largest single-engine fighters of the Second World War. It was popular in Europe as an escort fighter and was well-suited to high-altitude air-to-air combat as well as an in the ground-attack role.

Spitfire Mk XIV

Only 957 production Mk XIVs were built with the first entering service in 1944 and were the most successful of the variants at destroying V-1 flying bombs. The MV293 was built after the Second World War for the RAF and served with the Indian Air Force.

Fieseler Storch (replica)

The Storch, also known as Stork, was used by the Luftwaffe as a liaison and spotting aircraft during World War Two with multiple variants of the aircraft being made. The plane was famed for its low speed flight and STOL abilities.

Grumman F8F Bearcat

The Grumman F8F Bearcat was introduced to the Second World War late and served in the mid-20th century in the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, and the air forces of other nations. Adaptations of the Bearcat have broken speed records for piston-engined aircraft.

Grumman Wildcat FM2

The Wildcat FM2 is described as the “ultimate version” of the aircraft and was a collaboration between Grumman and Eastern Aircraft to operate from escort carriers. The plane flew for all active U.S Navy fighter squadrons throughout the Second World War.

Hawker Fury FB11

This British fighter aircraft was designed and manufactured by Hawker and was the last-propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy. The plane was popular with overseas militaries and was also used during the Korean War and in the Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba.

Aeronca L-3

The Aeronca L-3 was used as an observation and liaison aircraft by the United States Army Air Corps during the Second World War. The L-3 series were adapted from Aeronca’s pre-war Tandem Trainer and Chief models.

L-4 Cub

The L-4 Cub is an aircraft with a simple, lightweight design, which helps give it “good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance”. The L-4 was used for reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and moving personnel behind the lines.

Police have closed Leith Walk in Edinburgh after a woman was struck by a tram on Sunday morning – officers are appealing for help from the public

A road remains closed in Edinburgh after a women was struck by a tram.

Police are appealing for information after a 19-year-old woman was struck by a tram on Leith Walk at around 8.50am on Sunday.

The incident happened between Albert Street and Pilrig Street near the Scotmid store.

Emergency services attended and the woman was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with serious injuries.

One resident told the Record a woman had been seen carrying black bags to bins across the road when the incident happened.

The local, who wished to remain anonymous, went out to help with a first aid kit, adding: “It happened right outside my flat. The crowd had already put her in the recovery position when I got there.”

The road remains closed while crash investigation work is carried out. Sergeant Michael Thomson said: “Our inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and we are asking anyone who can help who has not already spoken to officers to get in touch.”

Edinburgh Trams said: “Due to an incident between McDonald Rd and Balfour St trams are running a part route service between Edinburgh Airport & St Andrew Sq only.

“Ticket acceptance in place with Lothian buses between St Andrew Sq – Newhaven. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.”

Posting online, Police Scotland said: “Leith Walk is closed from Duke Street to Iona Street following a report of a collision involving a pedestrian and a tram that happened around 9am on Sunday, 24 May.

“Road users are advised to avoid the area.”

Lothian Buses confirmed services were being diverted from the area. They said on their site: “Due to a road closure buses are unable to serve Duke Street and Leith Walk and are instead diverted via London Road and Easter Road in both directions until further notice.”

Slugs are commonly found during the hotter months, eating garden plants and vegetable patches.

The pest will eat leaves and enjoy growing fruit, leaving gardeners often disappointed and angry.

However, Monty Don has shared some key advice to make sure slugs don’t ruin your garden joy.

Monty Don shares how to keep your garden slug-free

Writing in a blog post, Monty wrote: “Slugs and snails are widely regarded as the gardeners’ public enemy number one.

“But they are superb at recycling waste vegetative matter but do not discriminate between a fallen leaf and a delicious young seedling.

“Slugs live largely underground in the soil and like damp conditions.

“Snails live above the ground and love dark nooks and crannies such as old brickwork or a nice dry yew hedge, as well as clustering around the base of containers.”

The gardening expert said there are several ways to stop slugs harming your plants and vegetable patches.

How to Get Rid of These Common Garden Pests

Monty explained: “Avoid slug pellets as they are chemicals that can harm other wildlife. Instead have a small slug-free cold frame or tape where you can raise tender young plants and check for slugs daily.

“Do not feed plants any more than is absolutely necessary and always feed the soil, not the plant.

“This will avoid a spurt of soft, sappy growth that slugs love.

“Without stressing them with sudden temperatures or cultivation changes, grow your plants as hard as possible which means do not mollycoddle them.

“Finally, encourage a wide range of predators into the garden. I have masses of thrushes, frogs, toads, beetles, centipedes, shrews and a few hedgehogs.”

Calum McFarlane will look to end this stint as Chelsea interim manager on a positive note today as he takes the side to Sunderland with targets set on a last-gasp European qualification. The Blues make the long trip up to Wearside sitting eighth, which should be good enough to qualify for the Conference League, but three points this afternoon and a convenient result between Brighton and Liverpool could see them step up into the Europa League places.

Saint Catherine’s in Scarborough has teamed up with York Against Cancer to deliver the clinic, which brings lymphoedema care directly to the York community.

Lymphoedema is a long-term condition that causes swelling in the body’s tissues and can sometimes develop as a result of cancer or cancer treatment.

It occurs when the lymphatic system is not functioning correctly, leading to a build-up of lymphatic fluid.

Though incurable, early intervention is crucial as the condition can worsen and become increasingly uncomfortable without proper treatment.

Andy Knowles, CEO of York Against Cancer, said the scheme directly supports their mission to improve lives for people affected by cancer.

He said: “At York Against Cancer, everything we do is driven by one purpose; to make a real difference for people and families in our community who are living with the impact of cancer.

“This partnership with Saint Catherine’s is a brilliant example of what becomes possible when two organisations align around that shared goal.

“Knowing that people in York can continue to access specialist care closer to home, without the added stress and burden of travelling to Scarborough, is an easy decision to get involved with.

“The patient feedback speaks for itself, and we’re incredibly proud to have played a part in making this happen.”

For more than three decades, Saint Catherine’s has provided lymphoedema care at its Wellbeing Centre in Scarborough, helping to ease swelling and improve patients’ quality of life.

With funding from York Against Cancer, the hospice launched a mobile lymphoedema clinic in York in December 2025.

The clinic now operates twice a month and offers up to 10 patient sessions per month, most of which have been fully booked.

Kath Sartain, specialist palliative care nurse advisor at Saint Catherine’s, said: “Saint Catherine’s is delighted to partner with York Against Cancer to ensure that lymphoedema care is prioritised and readily available to patients across York.

“This collaboration represents an important step in improving access to vital services and supporting those living with the long-term effects of cancer.”

Patient feedback has highlighted the “indescribable” difference the clinic has made, with one patient saying they now have more energy, can clearly see the benefits of treatment, and deeply value the reduced need for travel.

The clinic has offered both practical support and emotional reassurance, giving patients what they described as a “comfort blanket” through regular professional contact.

While some patients have expressed a wish for more frequent clinics, both organisations say they are encouraged by the response and are keen to explore further partnership opportunities to expand and enhance care in the future.

A police spokesperson said officers are on the scene of a serious crash on the A65 at Giggleswick, near Settle, which has closed the road in both directions on Sunday afternoon.

They urged people to “take extra care if you’re out and about”, warning that “roads that are often quiet are busy with bank holiday traffic”.

“This includes more vulnerable road users than usual – pedestrians, cyclists, motorbike riders and horse riders.

“Please adjust your speed to suit the road, be extra perceptive around other road users and expect the unexpected.

“We are on patrol 24-7 throughout the bank holiday weekend and beyond to keep everyone as safe as possible.”

Outlook Lite, which launched in 2022, is an app for Android devices, bringing users all the Outlook essentials in a smaller size.

It was made for low-resource phones and has the ability to work on slower networks.

Outlook Lite was retired by Microsoft on October 6, 2025, with the app removed from the Google Play Store.

Despite the app being retired, existing customers have still been able to use the app until now.

When will Outlook Lite be fully retired?

Microsoft has confirmed the Outlook Lite app will be shut down on all Android devices on Monday (May 25).

Microsoft to shut down Outlook app on Android devices in May – switch or be ‘cut off’ https://t.co/6aD2NCi2tm

— South Wales Argus (@southwalesargus) April 15, 2026

The app will still open after it has been fully retired, but mailbox access will be disabled, and in-app navigation and functionality won’t work.

Microsoft said: “The Outlook Lite app will be fully retired and will no longer provide mailbox functionality starting May 25, 2026.

“To continue enjoying a secure and feature-rich email experience, we recommend switching to Outlook Mobile. Go to Outlook for iOS and Android for more information.”

Microsoft shuts down Skype after 22 years

Outlook Lite isn’t the only app Microsoft has shut down recently.

Skype was officially “retired” by Microsoft in May 2025 after nearly 22 years, having first launched in August 2003.

As we say goodbye to Skype, we want to thank our incredible community. Over the years, you’ve connected with family, friends, and colleagues across the world.

This isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning. Join us on Microsoft Teams Free and continue making great memories. pic.twitter.com/9lDRE6rMVW

— Skype (@Skype) May 5, 2025

The tech giant said the decision to shut down the communications app was so it could “streamline our free consumer communications offerings so we can more easily adapt to customer needs”.

By retiring Skype, Microsoft said it enables the company to focus on Teams.

While Skype was officially shut down last May, users still had access to old messages until January 2026 before they were deleted.

Morrisons Daily shops in our county could be at risk of closure

Morrisons is reportedly planning to close 100 stores across the UK in a move that could see hundreds of jobs lost. The supermarket giant reportedly consulted staff about its proposals to close its own Morrisons Daily shops on Thursday, May 21.

The shops set for closure are said to have been unprofitable for years and were former McColl’s shops which the chain rescued in 2022. The proposals will see stores closed in the next few months and hundreds of shop workers are understood to be at risk of redundancy.

Morrisons has around 1,700 convenience shops as well as about 500 supermarkets. But alongside the fresh closure plans, Morrisons stressed that it was still spotting opportunities to open more franchise convenience stores in the years ahead.

Most of the new Morrisons Daily outlets will be franchises under Morrisons’ growth strategy, it is understood. Morrisons Daily shops in Cambridgeshire could be impacted by these plans. See a list of Morrisons Daily shops in our county below.

• St Neots: 3 Bishops Road, Eyenesbury, PE19 2QA

• Peterborough: 5 Winslow Road, PE3 9RE

• St Neots: 35 High Street, PE19 1NL

• Peterborough: 182 Gunthorpe Road, PE4 7DS
