A woman has been taken to hospital following a crash on the A34 near Handforth Dean on Wednesday afternoon (June 17).

Witnesses report a car has flipped onto its roof on the Wilmslow-Handforth bypass at the roundabout near B&Q, with around five or six emergency service vehicles at the scene.

The Manchester Evenning News understands a woman has been taken to hospital as a precaution after a car hit a lamppost and flipped.

The incident has led to the closure of part of the roundabout, according to AA Traffic News, while traffic is building on the bypass. Google Maps is showing significant delays in the area and indicates the closure could remain in place until midnight.

Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann has been sentenced to life in prison without parole in an emotional end to a decades-long murder case that haunted Long Island.

Families applauded and cheered in the courtroom after the judge handed down the sentence Wednesday. He called Heuermann a “disgusting and despicable man,” stating: “You’re a coward.”

Heuermann was allowed to speak at sentencing and told the court, “I am responsible for all that was said in this room… The words I say have no meaning.”

The judge asked him if he’s sorry for his crimes, saying, “At least eight women that we know of… Are you a little bit sorry for that?” Heuermann replied, “yes.”

Earlier at the hearing, hands clasped and resting on the defense table in an eastern Long Island courtroom, Heuermann looked straight ahead and lightly tapped his fingers as he was confronted by families of his victims.

“A million years isn’t enough,” Jasmine Robinson, a cousin of victim Jessica Taylor, told killer Rex Heuermann. “Nothing will ever make this right.”

“Justice has been done, but it can’t replace what has been taken,” said JoAnn Mack, the mother of victim Valerie Mack. “She had dreams, and you took them all away from her.”

The Long Island architect, 62, lived a secret life of violence for years before admitting he killed eight women in April.

The sentencing caps an extraordinary investigation that solved one of New York’s most perplexing mysteries — one that began as a series of seemingly unconnected, and largely unmarked disappearances of young women, but became the focus of true-crime documentaries, books and podcasts after police began discovering the victims’ skeletal remains in the sandy scrub along a coastal parkway.

Asa Ellerup, his ex-wife, and their two grown children said through their lawyers that they would not attend the sentencing out of respect for the victim’s families.

The overall number of homes across the sites will increase from 235 to 299

Plans to replace 235 “ageing” homes at former council estates in Cambridge with almost 300 new ones have taken a step forward. Cambridge City Council, working with Cambridge Investment Partnership (CIP) and The Hill Group, are seeking additional funding to deliver council houses as part of the developments.

The proposals, on Hanover Court, Princess Court and Ekin Road, aim to improve living standards for Cambridge and help meet growing demand across the city.

The overall number of homes across the sites will increase from 235 to 299. At Hanover Court, Princess Court and Ekin Road, independent viability assessments concluded that the costs associated with redeveloping the sites mean there should be no requirement to build council homes.

Nevertheless, Cambridge City Council intends to secure funding from Homes England to deliver council homes at each development.

The latest plans at Hanover Court and Princess Court off Hills Road, would see two deteriorating residential buildings of 127 homes demolished and 165 new homes built in their place. Funding for this site will allow 72 council homes to be built as part of the 165 new homes proposed, equalling 44 per cent. This would be a reduction of 10 compared with the 82 existing council homes.

Similarly, at Ekin Road, in Abbey, funding would enable 78 council homes to be built within the 134 total new homes being proposed, equalling 58 per cent. This is 13 fewer council homes than currently exist. Updated plans propose the demolition of 108 “ageing” homes to deliver the new ones.

In addition, the proposals would see more spacious layouts, modern homes, with some homes offering additional living spaces and others offering additional bedrooms.

The remaining 149 homes will be available for sale and profit generated from these homes will go towards the council’s additional source of funding to support its ongoing council house building programme.

According to the council, the current residential buildings in Hanover Court and Princess Court are no longer suitable for council tenants to live in due to a combination of structural concerns, fire safety constraints and wider building performance issues. The council considers that the only way to address the concerns is to redevelop the site.

Built in the 1950s and 1960s, the Ekin Road estate reportedly has many of the maintenance and structural issues which can contribute to issues such as damp, condensation and mould. Therefore, the site is being redeveloped. The development will offer a mix of one to five bedroom homes, as well as four homes specifically designed for wheelchair users.

Residents have already moved from Hanover Court, Princess Court and Ekin Road ahead of the planned development works. Support for council tenants includes being given priority access to choosing a suitable council home to move into as well as a home-loss payment of around £8,000, plus a £1,250 payment to cover moving expenses.

Meanwhile, homeowners are offered the market rate for their home based on a property valuation by a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyor, plus a statutory compensation payment of 7.5-10 per cent. They are also entitled to reasonable disturbance and assistance with moving costs, including legal fees and Stamp Duty Land Tax.

Councillor Gerri Bird, Cambridge City Council Cabinet Member for Housing and CIP board member said: “Everyone deserves to live in homes that meet modern standards – with spacious living areas that are well ventilated and comfortable to live in, with high energy efficiency to bring down spiralling energy costs.”

Plans for Ekin Road are due to be considered by Planning Committee later this summer.

Michael O’Leary called changes to air passenger rights “gobbledygook” and “bureaucratic bunkum” in a statement published on the airline’s website on June 16.

The rules, announced a day earlier, require airlines to display fares including at least one carry-on bag before the booking process begins.

The European Commission says the update will improve transparency and help customers make fairer comparisons.

What happens if you miss your flight due to airport delays?

Mr O’Leary said: “These latest EU261 regulations are more bureaucratic bunkum from the EU Parliament and Council.

“Instead of encouraging EU airlines to advertise our lowest fares (which exclude second cabin bags), which is what over 50% of our customers choose, these new rubbish regulations require airlines to falsely advertise higher air fares, making EU airlines even less competitive.”

Ryanair claims the rule will mislead passengers who want the cheapest fares, which do not include a second cabin bag.

According to the airline, around half of its customers select the basic option and travel with just a small under-seat bag.

The UK is expected to follow suit with the rule change, as EU261 was adopted into British law post-Brexit.

Mr O’Leary also criticised the EU’s broader approach to aviation regulation.

He said: “As usual, neither the EU Parliament, nor the Council, have done anything to improve the competitiveness of EU airlines by abolishing Europe’s failed harmful ETS taxation or reforming the EU’s broken ATC system.”

The Emissions Trading System (ETS) requires companies to buy permits for each tonne of carbon they emit—costs Ryanair believes further harm airline competitiveness.

Mr O’Leary argued that more pressing issues, such as air traffic control (ATC) delays, are being ignored.

He said: “Europe’s ATC system accounts for over 90% of airline delays, yet the airlines are not allowed to recover our EU261 costs from these failing Government monopolies.

“At a time when Putin invaded Ukraine, and there is a war in the Middle East, Europe needs to be more competitive if it is to deliver growth.

“At this time of international crisis, all the EU Parliament and Council can do is invent new regulations.

“This will now force airlines to advertise higher air fares (which include second cabin bag fees) instead of advertising our lowest air fares (which exclude second cabin bag fees) which is what more than 50% of Ryanair passengers choose on a daily basis.”

He urged Ursula von der Leyen and EU leaders to focus on meaningful reforms.

Mr O’Leary said: “Ryanair again calls on Ursula von der Leyen, and the EU Parliament, to stop making rubbish regulations which makes EU air travel less competitive, and instead do something competitive for European consumers.”

Among other rule changes is a new ban on denying boarding for return flights if a passenger did not take the outbound leg.

However, Ryanair maintains that the carry-on change will confuse customers looking for the lowest fare and further burden airlines with unnecessary red tape.

The song is in opposition to the whole ‘looksmaxxing’ trend

The Fountain in Ely, has been listed for sale on its website after being inactive for years

A 200-year-old pub has been listed for sale just weeks after a bid to turn the building into a staff room was withdrawn. Planning documents said the landlord of The Fountain, Ely, had agreed to sell the pub to King’s Ely school if the plans were approved.

Punters spotted fliers in the pub titled “THE FOUNTAIN”, “FOR SALE” with “interested in purchasing?” above a QR code redirecting them to the pub’s website. The website had been inactive since at least August 2023 according to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

Visitors are now greeted with a description of the property and a “Buyer Qualification Enquiry” form asking for details and intended use of the pub. A notice above the form states: “Submission of this form does not constitute an offer or agreement of any kind.

“The vendor reserves the right to decline to proceed with any enquiry without providing reasons. All information provided will be treated in confidence.”

Options for intended use include keeping it as a pub, changing the use to residential or commercial, redevelopment and undecided/exploring options. An indicative offer drop-down box allows potential buyers to pick from £400,000-£500,000 at the lowest up to £700,000+.

Joe Moor, who has been campaigning to save the pub, welcomed the news but warned it may not be the end of their battle yet.

He said: “It’s encouraging to see there’s a willingness to sell it but unless there’s a proper process with it on the open market, it could just be a meaningless gesture.”

The owners of The Fountain pub have been approached for comment.

Club: AC Milan Age: 40 Position: Midfielder Caps: 198 Goals: 29

Croatia’s captain and talisman has recovered from a fractured cheekbone on 26 April to stay on course for his 200th cap this summer.

Fifa only recognises three male players with more appearances for their country: Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Bader Al-Mutawa of Kuwait and Argentina’s Lionel Messi.

Modric, the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner, is yet to decide on his future following AC Milan’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.

He was heavily relied on to dictate the team’s tempo in 2025-26 and played his most league minutes (2,788) in a season since 2010-11 with Spurs.

A glorious 13 years at Real Madrid began ignominiously when he was voted ‘worst signing of 2012’ in a poll by Madrid-based sports daily Marca.

But Modric more than proved his worth – claiming 28 trophies, including six Champions Leagues and four La Liga titles at Real.

The incident is said to have happened in Bar Lane, off Micklegate, around 10pm on Tuesday evening (June 16).

North Yorkshire Police said the arrested man is in custody and is being questioned.

A force spokesperson said: “The victim is receiving specialist support whilst the investigation continues.

“The scene has been cordoned off to the public to allow for a forensic investigation.”

As reported by The Press, officers have been stationed between the junction of Micklegate and Bar Lane and the boundary of George Stephenson House, a Network Rail building, all morning and remain in place.

Bar Lane, off Micklegate in York has been the scene of a police cordon today (Wednesday, June 17) (Image: Kevin Glenton)

The cordoned-off area is approximately 60 metres long and is on the Bar Walls side of the road.

A steep bank runs up from a low wall towards the Bar Walls and is covered in shrubs and bushes along its length with a number of tall, mature trees covering the site.

Proprietors and staff of the various retail and hospitality businesses from Nunnery Lane as far as Trinity Lane / Barker Lane were open at various times from around 7am and one owner who cycled into work said he saw the cordon up at that time.

The Network Rail building has been open as normal and traffic has been passing through Micklegate and Bar Lane unaffected by the cordon.

The North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Witnesses or anyone with relevant CCTV or dashcam footage are urged to come forward.

“If you can help in any way, please contact North Yorkshire Police on 101.

“Or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or by making an online report.

“Please quote reference number 12260111552 when providing details.”

He also breached a court order by hiding devices used to store the disgusting images.

A repeat offender is in custody after he was caught with more than 18,000 child abuse photos and videos.

Dominic Dalgleish also breached a court order by hiding devices used to store the disgusting images.

Dalgleish, 24, appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court this week.

He admitted downloading and possessing indecent images at his home in Banff Place, East Kilbride, between October 2023 and November last year.

Dalgleish also admitted failing to make devices available for inspection to police officers.

The court heard that he was convicted of possessing child abuse images in June 2023.

At that time he was given a community payback order and made the subject of a five-year sexual offences prevention order.

Dalgleish was also banned from contact with children and not allowed to go near playparks, schools or leisure centres.

Calum Frame, prosecuting, told the court this week that police armed with a search warrant went to his home on November 5 after being told about possible further offending.

Dalgleish told them the only devices he had were a personal computer and a phone.

But when officers searched the kitchen they found an Amazon TV box and a USB stick hidden behind a kickboard.

There were child abuse images on both items.

Mr Frame stated: “In total police found !7,078 photos and 1,139 videos on devices seized in his home.”

Sheriff Linda Nicolson deferred sentence until next month for background reports.

Dalgleish, who has been in prison since his arrest in November, was again remanded in custody.
