Police said they were called to reports of a shooting on Beswicke Royds Street, just off Reservoir Street, at around 3.20pm. A 19-year-old man was found with an ‘injury consistent with a gunshot wound to his leg’.

He was taken to hospital with ‘life-changing’ injuries. An investigation was launched, with pictures showing a damaged black car and vehicle debris within the police cordon.

Robert Anderson hasn’t been seen since March 2 in what cops have described an “out of character” disappearance.

New CCTV images have been released of a man who has been reported missing from Glasgow for nearly two weeks.

Robert Anderson was last seen around 4.40pm in the King Street area of the city centre on Monday, March 2. The 60-year-old was reported missing two days later on Wednesday, March 4.

A police search has been launched following the man’s “out of character” disappearance and fresh CCTV images have now been shared of Robert boarding the number 75 bus in Stockwell Street shortly before 5pm on March 2.

Robert is described as white, around 5ft 10″ in height, slim build with balding hair and he walks with a limp. When last seen he was wearing grey joggers, a white t-shirt, black jacket and white trainers.

Previous CCTV images released by cops show Robert, who walks with a limp, in the city centre around the time he was last seen.

Police Scotland say worries are mounting for Robert, who hasn’t been in touch with family or friends since he vanished. The force is urging anyone with any insight as to where he is, to come forward.

Inspector Alyssa Fullelove-McCann said: “As time passes, we are becoming increasingly concerned for Robert. If you remember seeing him in the city centre or Castlemilk areas since Monday, 2 March, please contact us.

“We would also ask Robert, if he sees this appeal, to please get in touch with his family to let them know you are safe.”

Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting reference 3180 of 4 March, 2026.

Inspector Laura Drovandi previously said: “This is out of character for Robert to be out of contact with his family and friends for so long and we want to make sure he is alright.

“If anyone remembers seeing a man matching Robert’s description since Monday, March 2, please get in contact with police.”

Doja Cat has revealed that she is struggling with a condition she calls ‘agonising’.

The Say So singer, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, uploaded a six minute video onto TikTok where she announced the disorder.

She started by telling her fans: ‘I’ve learned from a very young age to pretend that I like stuff, to pretend that I’m happy, to pretend that I don’t like stuff that I do, to appear like everything is okay, I’ll get it done.’

‘And it caught up with me, and I think it always does for people. I’m now struggling with BPD [borderline personality disorder].’

Thinking out loud, Doja contemplated how long she’d been living with the condition and concluded: ‘I mean, probably forever.’ However, the 30-year-old went on: ‘So, it’s an agonising condition – curable, thank God. I’ve been in therapy for years now. 

The NHS says about the disorder: ‘Over time, many people with BPD overcome their symptoms and recover. Additional treatment is recommended for people whose symptoms return.’

The singer continued: ‘I am so relieved and so proud of myself. I’ve made it so far, and I still make mistakes, but it is like an eight year process of curing, of treatment and healing in order to cure it.’  

In the comments, users responded with support. @Ma.kitten_ wrote: ‘Being this open about BPD takes a lot of courage. You’re doing amazing and a lot of people appreciate your honesty ❤️.’

In her video, Doja Cat then goes on to defend Chappell Roan, who has been in the press recently for her dealings with the paparazzi.

Chappell recently had a run-in with photographers and people on the street who she said were ‘harassing’ her.

Making it clear that she is not diagnosing the Pink Pony Club hitmaker with BPD, she praised Chappell for ‘showing her discomfort, or showing her unamused-ness, [and] her disdain.’

Doja continued: ‘I love that she can be uncomfortable comfortably in front of people and protect herself, and be honest.

‘I had to learn how to be honest with myself. I lied to myself for years.’

Commenting on the state of the music industry and Doja’s post, TikTok user Marlon Hernandez said: ‘It’s so sad that being a musician means being bounded to this monster of capitalism and exploitation, it’s became so normal to treat people like a product that needs to be efficient…it’s so sad.

‘Chappell reminds people that music is supposed to be the most humane thing, not this cash cow.’

In the past, Doja Cat has called branded her fans ‘crazy’ and called out interactions that she found uncomfortable.

The music artist goes on in her video to talk about ‘resellers’ who she says are ‘people who show up, they pose as fans and they ask for signatures’.

Doja slammed them, saying: ‘It’s not honest work.’

The pretty gardens and house are just over an hour from Cambridge

An adventure playground could open at a manor house with 900 acres of beautiful land – and it’s just over an hour from Cambridge. The weather is finally getting warmer – minus the odd cold and rainy day.

And with that, families can start to plan lots of days out. One to visit soon is Helmingham Estate in Stowmarket, which is just over an hour drive from Cambridge.

The estate spans over 900 acres, with a 500-year-old moated manor house at the centre. On the website, the estate is described as “truly magnificent”. The manor house was built by John Tollemache and his wife, and it has been in the Tollemache family since then.

As well as the house, it is surrounded by Grade I listed gardens that are breathtaking to walk amongst. A pretty part of the gardens is the apple tree walk. This is a walkway lined by trees on the border of the park, which blossoms in May. Spring bulbs line the pathways, adding to the picturesque views.

There is also the walled garden which is famed for the estate’s climbing roses, some varieties which have never been identified. There are also borders of sweet peas, beans and gourds. While walking around, people will also see some wildlife, including herds of deer.

An exciting prospect that’s coming to the estate this summer is an adventure playground. Known as Guildenacre, this new immersive new play experience will feature four themed areas.

Children of all ages will be able to embark on a magical adventure as they step into a world where a glimmer of gold hints at tales untold and join four special guardians who protect the forest with the help of the magical Whispering Oak Tree.

The park will be themed around one of the guardian animals and their habitat. Edward Tollemache, custodian of Helmingham and co-founder of Guildenacre with his wife Sophie said: “This meticulously considered new addition to the Helmingham Estate will be an exciting mix of challenge, discovery and intrigue for all its visitors, both young and the young at heart.

“Inspired by the estate’s beautiful surroundings and the animals you would expect to find in the neighbouring habitats, you will see references to our family’s coat of arms in the form of a magical flying Pegasus which we hope our visitors will enjoy discovering too.”

Kathy Weir crossed the finish line of the huge 750-mile cycle in memory of the late rugby legend in Dublin last night.

The wife of motor neuron disease (MND) campaigner Doddie Weir OBE has smashed a 750 mile cycle across four countries in four days.

Kathy Weir, 55, wife of the late rugby legend was among hundreds of cyclists, led by 12 core teammates, who crossed the finish line of their mammoth ride in Dublin last night.

Kathy clocked up 180-220 miles per day, over four days, riding across Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland – the nations that compete in the Six Nations Triple Crown – in aid of My Name’s Doddie Foundation.

Set up by Doddie in the wake of his MND diagnosis, which tragically took his life in 2022, the foundation aims to help find a cure for the cruel, life-limiting disease. The incredible efforts of participants has raised £1.17m.

Loved ones, media, supporters, and Dublin locals lined the streets in what was an electric atmosphere in the capital on Friday, March 13, the eve of Scotland’s clash with Ireland at the national stadium.

Kathy said: “This ride has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. The people involved – Rob’s core group, the support team and everyone who’s taken part along the way – have been phenomenal.

“The support from the communities we’ve passed through has been incredible, too. At every stop people have been so welcoming, and that’s kept us going through the tougher moments.

“There have been emotional points, plenty of laughs and some real challenges along the way. Even the weather has made this unforgettable. The money that has been raised is just incredible and shows how many people are still determined to make a difference. Doddie would be so proud of everyone who continues to get behind the cause.”

The team set off from Melrose to Leeds on day one, before heading to Gloucester for a powerful show of support from ex-England captain Lewis Moody, who revealed his MND diagnosis in September 2025.

A cancelled ferry crossing, relentless cold weather and harsh conditions along the route meant the schedule remained uncertain for much of the journey. But the team finally reached Irish shores for the final push on Friday.

Famous faces were also spotted the finish line including record-breaking cyclist, Mark Beaumont, and Irish rugby hero and former British and Irish Lions centre Gordon D’Arcy.

Doddie’s former teammate and ex-Scotland captain, Rob Wainwright, felt particularly emotional. He said: “There were times over the past 750 miles when it really hurt, the climbs, the headwinds, the long days in the saddle.

“But compared to the battle Doddie faced, it puts everything into perspective. Riding into Dublin with this team and seeing the reception we’ve had is incredibly moving.”

Motor neuron disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects the motor neurons in the brain, leading to muscle weakness. Six people die from MND in the UK every day. There is no cure and limited treatment options.

Rob added: “Doddie was a teammate, a friend, and a force of nature, and his determination continues to drive all of us. This challenge was about more than the distance – it was about carrying that spirit forward and raising vital funds for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. We’re not stopping until there’s a cure for MND.”

The gardens have many features and flowers that will be blooming in the spring

As the weather starts to improve thanks to the new spring season, you might be thinking of places you can visit to enjoy some time in the outdoors. Cambridgeshire has plenty of green spaces to see with your family but you also do not need to travel too far if you want to go somewhere new.

The National Garden Scheme puts on open days of gardens across the UK for people to enjoy throughout the year. The garden surrounding the Tudor Kirtling Tower will be open for one day on Sunday, March 29, and might be worth a visit if you love history.

The tower can be found right on the border of Cambridgeshire with its main feature nowadays being the three-storeyed Tudor gatehouse. The origins of Kirtling Tower date back to 1219 when it was a castle with a moat, a ditch, and a palisade.

The castle went through a range of rebuilds including in the 1550s by architect Francis Adams when it was renamed Kirtling Hall. The hall continued to be developed and by the 1660s, it was the largest country house in Cambridgeshire.

The property went into decline in the 19th century with most of the castle being pulled down in 1801. In the 1830s, the gatehouse was turned into a residential property and was renamed Kirtling Tower.

During the open day, guests will have a chance to walk around the 25 acres of parkland where you can see views of the surrounding countryside. The dry moat has been planted with daffodils and trees alongside the “beautifully designed garden”.

The garden has a range of historical features such as a Walnut Avenue and an ancient Tudor Walk. You can follow the grass paths to see lots of spring flowers blooming and take a look at the Cutting Garden, which is full of roses and sweet peas.

The Cloister Courtyard has been planted with hydrangeas and roses. There will be some craft and plant stalls to take a look at as well as light refreshments on offer.

Tickets for the open day costs £6 for adults and are free for children. Tickets can be booked through the National Garden Scheme website.

The gardens around the tower will be open from 11am until 4pm. Kirtling Tower can be found on Kirtling Road, which is around a 38 minute drive away from Cambridge via the A1303.

“The reckless actions of these youths could have caused serious injury or worse”

A pedestrian was struck by a scrambler in West Belfast on Friday, police have said.

West Belfast Neighbourhood officers are now seeking witnesses to the incident, and dashcam footage to be brought forward. The incident happened “in the vicinity of the crossing at the Dairy Farm, Stewartstown Road” at around 3pm yesterday.

“Around six youths were riding scramblers in an obviously dangerous manner when the collision occurred,” a police statement read.

“The reckless actions of these youths could have caused serious injury or worse. If you were in the Dairy Farm area at this time, did you witness this incident? If you have dashcam footage, we would urge you to check this and contact police with any information you can provide us with by calling 101 and quoting serial 877 of 13/03/2026.

“Due to the rise in offences involving e-bikes and scramblers, we also appeal to parents, if you know your child is a rider of one of these, please ensure they do not ride them illegally on the roads and in a dangerous manner which could potentially be fatal. Police are working alongside the community to help educate young people regarding the dangers of these bikes but we really need support from parents.

“Before you buy your child one of these bikes, please think twice as to whether they will be used in a safe and legal manner without causing a risk to the public and to themselves.”

Sinn Féin MLA Danny Baker said “the issues of E-bikes/scramblers and scooters has continued to grow”.

In a statement posted on social media, he said: “This afternoon, a woman was struck by a scrambler/E-bike on the Stewartstown Road as she crossed the road at the Dairyfarm.

“Thankfully, she is okay but badly shaken up. We’ve worked over a number of years to try and reduce scrambling on our roads, including harm reduction programmes, active policing, and community awareness.

“However, the issues of E-bikes/scramblers and scooters has continued to grow, lads flying up and down in dark clothes and faces covered. Ultimately, responsibility falls to the people riding these high-powered bikes illegally, and when underage, which they often are, their parents.

“Parents really need to ask themselves – will it be your son that kills or seriously hurts someone or themselves? This happened at 3 p.m. and involved a group of around 5/6 bikes.

“Police have deployed resources to try and find those responsible but are appealing for dashcam and other footage to help catch those responsible. If you have anything that could be useful, please contact 101.”

Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Saunders, Vanessa Williams and Tom Allen joined the presenter for the first episode of her new chat series.

A new venture from the makers of the beloved Graham Norton Show, viewers couldn’t help but compare Claudia’s new show to the revered Irishman’s.

One viewer said on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Very entertained by everyone getting angry that this is “replacing”the Graham Norton Show which just got renewed for 3 more years #TheClaudiaWinklemanShow”

Another said: “I’m enjoying this but the “well conveniently we have a person who is an expert in the thing you randomly brought up” is a bit much… #TheClaudiaWinklemanShow”

If this was Graham Norton, this line up would be disappointing, but Jeff Goldblum is interviewing gold, simply because he has a tendency to agree with everything you say to him. Perhaps it should be Claudia asking *all* the questions though.

Someone else commented: “If this was Graham Norton, this line up would be disappointing, but Jeff Goldblum is interviewing gold, simply because he has a tendency to agree with everything you say to him. Perhaps it should be Claudia asking all the questions though.”

One viewer was rather aggrieved at the lack of coverage Claudia’s show had received: “Claudia Winkleman’s chat show has barely had any press! Where has been the promotion?

“Rather odd to me.

“Taped show from weeks ago and little to nothing promo. Is this Claudia’s Davina McCall’s 2006 chat show all over again?”

Another person wrote: “If this was Graham Norton, this line up would be disappointing, but Jeff Goldblum is interviewing gold, simply because he has a tendency to agree with everything you say to him. Perhaps it should be Claudia asking all the questions though.

Claudia will be joined next week by comedians Joanne McNally and Guz Khan, stage and screen star Rachel Zegler and singer-songwriter Niall Horan.

The third episode will boast Jimmy Carr, alongside actors Chase Infiniti and Lisa Kudrow.
