The “Knitting Nannas” of Hazelgrove Court Care Home in Saltburn, all in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, are supporting Wildlife SOS, an organisation that works to rescue, treat and protect wildlife across India while providing lifelong care to animals in need.

Sharon Lewis, activities coordinator at Hazelgrove Court Care Home, said: “The knitted elephants have been flying out.

“They sell straight away and the residents are already busy making more.”

The group has previously made toys for monkeys, blankets for rhinos in South Africa, and jumpers for penguins in Australia.

In honour of Save the Elephant Day, residents joined a web call with Wildlife SOS, where they heard directly from Wildlife SOS leadership about their work helping elephants exploited for begging, as well as efforts to improve welfare and end the practice.

Linda Whiteley, UK manager at Wildlife SOS, introduced residents to Kartick Satyanarayan, the charity’s co-founder and CEO.

Mr Satyanarayan described how the charity aims to end the exploitation of begging elephants by 2030 and the complex care they provide—including purpose-built elephant ambulances and rehabilitation programmes.

He also shared the story of Bani, a three-year-old elephant who was knocked down by a train.

Rescuers initially thought she would never walk again but, with specialist care and custom-made boots, Bani has since regained her mobility.

Funds raised through the sale of the knitted elephants will go towards helping elephants like Bani.

Tina Parker, 75, a Hazelgrove resident, said: “Elephants are my favourite animal, and it is heartbreaking to think people will take them from the wild and make them beg, breaking their spirit.”

Ellen Else, 95, said: “I am happy that I am still able to help with the knitted elephants we are doing, which will raise money to help these poor elephants.”

Fellow resident Peter Rayson, 77, said: “It was wonderful to be invited to the webinar and see the amazing work the rescuers are doing.”

Ms Lewis said the project had given residents a real sense of purpose.

She said: “The Knitting Nannas love knowing that something they have made with their own hands is helping animals on the other side of the world.

“It gives them a huge sense of achievement and has sparked lots of conversations with families and visitors about wildlife and conservation.”

Ms Whiteley said: “The entire team and I are sincerely touched by the creativity, thoughtfulness, and generosity of the residents of Hazelgrove Court Care Home.

“Knowing that they care so deeply about the once-captive elephants in our care highlights the global appreciation for these endangered keystone animals.”

Will Steve Tandy be tempted to include the Cardiff backrower in his Wales squad? He certainly has a number of fans

Wales head coach Steve Tandy would have been an interested observer as Cardiff beat the Ospreys at the Arms Park for the first time since 2007 last night.

With Tandy set to name his squad for the inaugural Nations Cup in the near future, a number of players on show last night, the Wales boss was looking at a number of players. Nobody caught the eye more than Cardiff openside Dan Thomas who won the official player of the match award.

Thomas may be 32-years-old but there are few players as consistent as the all-action openside, who played havoc with the Ospreys last night.

But for all his consistency for Cardiff and previously for Bristol Bears in the Gallagher Premiership, Thomas has never received an international call-up.

Thomas is somewhat unlucky to have played in a generation where Wales has been blessed with top-end openside flankers, with the likes of Sam Warburton, Justin Tipuric and Ellis Jenkins all around during the first stage of his career, while he now has to contend with the likes of Jac Morgan, Tommy Reffell, Thomas Young, Josh Macleod, James Botham and Harri Deaves.

But despite Wales’ strength in depth at openside it is somewhat surprising Thomas has never been called into a senior international squad.

Speaking on S4C last night presenter Sarra Elgan was quick to highlight Thomas’ consistency.

“It is astonishing to me how he has never had the opportunity with Wales,” she said.

He is also hugely popular with his teammates.

“Dan has been a huge player for us over the last two years,” Cardiff and Wales lock Teddy Williams told S4C last night.

“He is a bonkers character. I describe him as a bit of an old school seven.

“You leave him out on the field and he runs around like a madman in how he tackles and he supports everything with the ball.

“He’s been a very good player for us.

“He is always fit and that is huge for any team. That is why we see him performing well for us every week.”

Thomas was outstanding in the victory over the Ospreys, more than holding his own against Jac Morgan.

This season he has won 12 turnovers in the United Rugby Championship and is second behind his Cardiff teammate Alun Lawrence for tackles made on 199.

“There was a try for him and the fact he was a thorn in the side of the Ospreys throughout the night,” said former Wales backrower Gwyn Jones on S4C last night.

Thomas may be at the tail end of his career but Tandy could do a lot worse than include the 32-year-old in his wider squad.

He has turned into one of Welsh rugby’s great cult heroes and is hugely popular with the players.

Away from the field of play, he helps run his family’s Croesyceiliog, near Carmarthen which has a herd of 130 cattle.

He also helps run a wedding car business and has developed a passion for arm wrestling.

“When my wife was pregnant, she was back in Carmarthen and I was still up in Bristol,” he said.

“So, every night, I was bored as hell and needed to find something to do.

“I was scrolling through Facebook and a Canadian arm wrestler came up on my phone and I thought I would give this a go.

“So I searched arm wrestling clubs in Bristol and this Ukrainian bloke called Sasha came up. He said it was every Monday or Tuesday night for an hour, come along.

“I turned up and it was literally his garden shed!

“It was four or five Ukrainian blokes and me in the garden shed of this apartment block.

“Sasha was 5ft 5ins, but his arms were huge and he just played around with me. He would hammer me.

“But I really enjoyed it because I was bored stiff in the house. I went back once a week.”

Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after nine years at Anfield and now faces an uncertain future

Rangers consultant Stig Inge Bjornebye has disclosed that the Ibrox club have held talks about the future of Liverpool icon Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian forward confirmed he will be departing the Anfield giants at the end of the campaign after nine years at Liverpool.

Salah confirmed the news during the March international break, and will leave Liverpool this summer despite his contract with the club still running until the end of the 2026/27 season.

The 33-year-old will have no shortage of suitors at the next chapter of his career, with a hugely lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia widely tipped as a potential destination.

Former Liverpool star Bjornebye is currently serving as a football consultant and adviser at Rangers on an initial six-month deal, though he is widely expected to extend his tenure at the club.

The former Norway international appeared as a guest on Egyptian channel Modern MTI’s Modern Sports discussion programme, where he was quizzed about Salah’s next move, reports the Daily Record.

And the 56-year-old let slip that Salah had been a hot topic of conversation within Ibrox. Bjornebye said: “I don’t know what Mo’s plans are – we discussed it at work today as well, as I’m an advisor to Rangers.

“We discussed where he’ll go and so on. But I think most people are grateful for what he’s done for Liverpool.

“He is a true legend at Liverpool and has achieved a remarkable legacy for a great club. He has delivered exceptional results for them over many seasons.

“There were some heated discussions about his situation last year, but the matter has been resolved and he has remained loyal to Liverpool.

“I think most people can accept that he has given the club many great years and now wants to seize a new opportunity, perhaps embarking on another adventure.”

Salah is not the only player to have confirmed that they will leave Liverpool in the summer, with Andy Robertson also announcing earlier this month that he would be departing Anfield at the end of his contract, which expires at the end of the season.

Refuse collector Ashley, who shares tips with thousands of followers online, says there is one thing people should do immediately if they realise too late.

In a video, Ashley explains that timing and approach make all the difference.

He said: “If you forget to put your bin out, I’ve got a solution for you.”

He warned against simply asking from a distance, adding: “What you don’t do is walk up and just tell them you forgot because nothing can happen.”

Instead, he says there is a much better way.

The simple trick that works

‘Bin-fluencer’ warning on the item you shouldn’t throw away with general rubbish https://t.co/gWfV2HwWRS

— Oxford Mail (@TheOxfordMail) April 22, 2026

Ashley explains that physically bringing your bin to the crew gives you a much better chance.

He said: “If you bring the bin with you and say ‘sorry, my fault completely, forgot to put my bin out on time, can you empty it?’

“They’re more likely to say yes if you have the bin with you.”

He added: “If you realise you forgot, carry on taking it to the dustcart and you’re more likely to get it collected.”

Recommended reading:

The tip has been widely shared online, with many saying they have done the same thing in the past.

One person said: “That’s why I remind myself the day before. I take it out the night before.”

Another added: “One man drove the bin to us two weeks ago since he forgot to put it out.”

Others joked about the reality of rushing out late, with one saying: “Imagine me running down the street with my full heavy bin.”

For anyone who forgets bin day, the advice is clear: Act quickly, take the bin to the collection crew, and ask politely. It might just save you waiting another week.

Jonathan Hammond, who runs Alpiner, has committed to supporting the River Tyne through a new partnership with Tyne Rivers Trust. This pledge aligns with his long-standing dedication to environmental conservation and his professional background.

Mr Hammond, a firefighter of 21 years, said: “It has never been more important to consider the environmental effects of what we do, what we purchase and how we live our lives.

“Charities now play a vital role in protecting and restoring our rivers.

“I wanted to ensure Alpiner was supporting ‘profit with a purpose,’ giving back to the environments that give us so much.”

In addition to his firefighting duties, Mr Hammond serves on the Fire and Rescue Service’s Specialist Water Rescue team, responding to emergencies along the river and educating communities on water safety.

Outside of work, he enjoys fly fishing and surfing, giving him a direct view of the environmental challenges facing the UK’s waterways.

His business, Alpiner.co.uk, specialises in high-quality vintage clothing, grounded in a philosophy of repair and reuse.

Mr Hammond’s environmental commitment extends beyond financial contributions.

Having previously volunteered with the RSPB, he plans to take part in hands-on projects with Tyne Rivers Trust to support the health of the River Tyne and its tributaries.

Sophia Stovall, chief executive officer at Tyne Rivers Trust, said: “We are incredibly grateful for Jonathan’s support.

“It is heartening to see a local business like Alpiner value the environment so highly.

“We truly appreciate businesses supporting our work; these contributions are essential in allowing us to continue our mission of protecting the Tyne for future generations.”

It’s been a short stay at The White Lotus for Helena Bonham Carter, with the actor’s role set to be recast just over a week into filming.

The Bafta-winning actor, best known for her roles in A Room with a View, The King’s Speech and the Harry Potter franchise, was due to star in the hit drama’s upcoming fourth series alongside Steve Coogan, Chris Messina and Alexander Ludwig.

However, HBO has confirmed that Bonham Carter will no longer feature in the project – and another star to be cast in her place.

“With filming just underway on Season 4 of The White Lotus, it had become apparent that the character which Mike White created for Helena Bonham Carter did not align once on set,” an HBO spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline on Friday (24 April).

“The role has subsequently been rethought, is being rewritten and will be recast in the coming weeks. HBO, the producers and Mike White are saddened that they won’t get to work with her, but remain ardent fans and very much hope to work with the legendary actress on another project soon.”

According to the publication, after Bonham Carter shot her scenes, director and writer Mike White felt that her character was not what it should be. Filming will reportedly continue, with the schedule being changed to accommodate rewrites and recasting.

The Independent has reached out to Bonham Carter and HBO for comment.

The news comes just over a week after production began on The White Lotus on the French Riviera, with the series following a new group of wealthy hotel guests during the Cannes Film Festival.

Filming is taking place in Cannes, St Tropez and Monaco, while five-star hotel Airelles Château de la Messardière becoming the White Lotus du Cap.

Bonham Carter was one of the first stars to be confirmed in the White Lotus cast for series four alongside Sharp Objects’ Messina and newcomer Marissa Long back in January.

While the Harry Potter star won’t feature in the new series, Caleb Jonte Edwards, Vincent Cassel, Dylan Ennis, Corentin Fila, Ari Graynor, AJ Michalka, Kumail Nanjiani and Nadia Tereszkiewicz are making up the rest of the cast.

Others include Rosie Perez, Heather Graham, Max Greenfield, Chloe Bennet as well as Sandra Bernhard, Frida Gustavsson, Charlie Hall, Jarrad Paul, Ben Schnetzer and Laura Smet.

Bonham Carter’s exit isn’t the first time someone has dramatically left The White Lotus; last year, the show’s composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer quit over long-standing friction with White.
