Tommy’s return to the ring supposedly coincided with Molly-Mae’s due date as they prepare to welcomed their second child

Molly-Mae Hague has addressed Tommy Fury’s upcoming return to the ring, supposedly coinciding with her due date, as they prepare to welcome their second child into the world.

Fans are aware that the couple, who met and fell in love on Love Island back in 2019, announced in February that they are expecting their second child together, just nine months after reconciling following a brief split.

Molly-Mae and Tommy, both 26, are said to have worked on their relationship before Molly-Mae confirmed they were back together in her Amazon Prime series, Behind It All, last May, saying her boxer beau had not drunk alcohol for four months, which was said to be a factor in their split. and that “things are looking so much better”.

Molly-Mae was then seen moving in with Tommy again, before announcing they’ll be welcoming baby number two, three years after they welcomed their first child, daughter Bambi, into the world.

Since then, Tommy has confirmed his first fight in almost a year, as he will take on former world’s strongest man, Eddie Hall. The fight is set to take place at the AO Arena on June 13 as part of the latest Misfits card, broadcast live on DAZN.

But with Molly-Mae confirming she was already six months into her pregnancy at the time of their baby announcement, fans have worked out that she is due in the summer, potentially clashing with Tommy’s return to the ring.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday (April 7) alongside Eddie to discuss their upcoming face-off, Tommy was asked by host Charlotte Hawkins about how Molly-Mae took news of his plan to fight so close to the expected arrival of their second baby.

But he shut down the question, describing it as a “family matter”. He said: “Well I just want to say thank you to the Lord and our saviour Jesus Christ for blessing me with another child on the way. And obviously that is a family matter, we’re dealing with that fantastically, and everything will be perfect.” He added: “We’ll deal that as a family. Thank you.”

Molly-Mae has also addressed the issue, saying in her YouTube vlog where she answered fans’ burning questions: “A lot of questions about how do you feel about Tommy’s fight and obviously the date of it. Obviously I knew that you guys were going to like be concerned about that and have questions about that, but fear not.

“Fear not, fair maiden, because we’re actually feeling really, really good about it and have a really good plan in place. There’s actually like a good amount of time between my birth, my supposed birth because basically I’m having the baby in London again. So I gave birth with Bambi at The Portland. I’m not worried and I’m actually really, really happy that he’s got a fight because it’s been over a year since his last fight.”

She went on to speak about how “difficult” it is to get a fight date secured, adding: “So just having a date for something and and having a focus and us having like I don’t know something to look forward to in the fight like it’s just I think it’s actually a really, really, really positive thing and he will be here when I get home. He will be able to support me.”

Summer is coming up, and if you’re anything like us, you’ll spend an almost embarrassing amount of time rifling through underwear to find a pair that won’t show underneath our summer dresses.

Yes, OK, a certain reality star launched a popular solution to this a few years ago. But, let’s be real, we’re not made of money.

So when we found out that M&S had launched a high street (and far more budget-friendly) equivalent, we were raring at the bit.

Made up of knickers, bras, bodysuits, vests, and slips, the BODY collection is designed to be invisible, cooling, and comes in a range of colours and skin tones.

If you know that the key to any good outfit is a solid base, here’s our pick of the best underwear from the collection, which is available to shop online and in stores now.

The retail group behind Uniqlo has forecast another record year amid a boost from strong international growth.

It came as Japan-based Fast Retailing reported it was facing some higher transport costs amid the conflict in the Middle East.

Nevertheless, the fashion business reported stronger profits for the past half-year.

Fast Retailing told shareholders on Thursday that operating profits lifted by 31.7% to 400.6 billion yen (£1.88 billion) for the six months to February 28.

Revenues for the period were up 14.8% to 2.05 trillion yen (£9.64 billion), compared with the same period a year earlier.

The company said it has been buoyed by the continued global expansion of the Uniqlo brand, with the new store openings in recent months.

As part of its growth plans, Uniqlo is opening its first store in Bristol later this month and is also set to open in Leeds in 2026.

The group added it was also boosted by strong sales of both winter products and “year-round” lines.

Uniqlo International revenues jumped by 22.4%, while business profits from the division were up 37.4%.

This included an increase in half-year revenues across the key Greater China region.

Operations in Europe and North America both delivered double-digit sales growth on the back of store openings and positive demand for winter clothing.

Fast Retailing said it is on track to deliver sales growth of 14.7% and operating profit growth of 24.1%, to around 700 billion yen (£3.24 billion) in the current financial year.

Rhys Chalmers subjected his ex-partner to a sickening string of abuse

A woman whose ex-partner made her life hell has told how she can no longer leave the house on her own. Rhys Chalmers, 46, of Penrhys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, was in a relationship with the mother when he repeatedly assaulted her.

Things got so disturbing that he poured urine over her from a bottle, Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard on Wednesday. The court heard how the defendant would regularly physically abuse his then-partner, usually after he’d drank excessive amounts of alcohol.

Bethan Evans, prosecuting, told the court how when the pair got together there didn’t seem to be any major issues but she told how Chalmers gradually began to become angry after drinking.

She detailed the first violent incident on January 18, 2025, when the couple had both been in her room drinking alcohol when Chalmers became more and more intoxicated. Ms Evans said his demeanor changed and he began using aggressive words.

The next thing the woman remembered was being on the floor and Chalmers punching her face two or three times, causing injuries to her eyes. She said that kind of incident became so frequent she was unable to recall exact dates or times for each incident.

The court heard how on May 12, 2025, the couple had been drinking in the bedroom when she left the room and Chalmers followed her with a bottle of yellow liquid which she later realised was urine. Ms Evans told the court Chalmers forced the woman down and poured the bottle over her.

A few weeks later, on June 21, 2025, the couple had been drinking together in the bedroom again when he suddenly punched her to the face. On July 16 he kicked and punched her off the bed, causing eye injuries which she had to use make-up to hide.

Ms Evans also told the court that during the course of the relationship Chalmers damaged his partner’s belongings, including smashing two TV screens. She said he would also use derogatory language towards her and made false accusations about her being unfaithful.

Chalmers wouldn’t let his partner go anywhere alone and would take her belongings and not give them back to her, including her bank cards, the court heard.

In a victim impact statement which Ms Evans summarised to the court, it was heard how as a result of her relationship with Chalmers, the woman now has to be escorted by her son or mum wherever she goes. She also said she couldn’t see herself engaging in an intimate relationship or trusting a man again.

Chalmers, of Heol Mair in Penrhys, has three previous convictions for four offences including for causing actual bodily harm and criminal damage. His last appearance before the courts was in 2024.

He pleaded guilty to one count of controlling and coercive behaviour of a physical nature and one count of controlling and coercive behaviour of a non-physical nature.

Solomon Hartley, representing Chalmers, said his client had worked all his life and did not have a bad record. He added that this recent offending had related to “a recent downturn in his life” which had caused his alcohol problem to spiral.

Judge Lucy Crowther said: “It seems you have been overwhelmed by an unhealthy addiction to alcohol and you do not have an understanding of what a healthy relationship is.”

Judge Crowther sentenced Chalmers to 25 months in prison. She also issued a restraining order in respect of his former partner for three years.

Rules around travel to Europe are changing – make sure you’re prepared by following a travel expert’s tips.

Nobody wants to face those dreaded airport queues; there’s nothing to ruin the start of a holiday than being stuck in a long queue, stressing about whether you’ll make your flight, surrounded by equally frustrated travellers.

From April 10, new biometric checks will become mandatory for all non-EU travellers entering the Schengen Area which will include Brits. Traditional passport stamping is now replaced by fingerprint scans and facial recognition. While it is meant to be a quick process, major international hubs are already reporting long queues of up to four hours for the service, especially at airports that host multiple airlines.

With that in mind, Jane Bolton, a travel expert at Erna Low, has shared four simple but essential tips to help passengers avoid unnecessary delays and start their trip without delays.

Arrive earlier than you think you need to

“Airport wait times can vary, but with the new EES checks, queues of up to four hours are expected at peak times,” Jane explains. “In the past, travellers were advised to arrive two hours before a domestic flight and three hours for an international flight. Now, it’s worth allowing more time than usual.”

To be extra prepared, Jane would recommend arriving three to four hours before the flight to account for additional biometric checks slowing down border processing – especially if you’re flying during busier holiday periods.

Consider fast-track options where possible

But spending so much time in airports isn’t exactly everyone’s idea of fun. In that case, fast-track security could be worth the investment. “As long queues are expected, passengers should opt for alternative time-saving methods where possible,” Jane says. “Purchasing fast-track tickets for security is a great method for reducing the time needed prior to a flight.” Typically costing between £3 and £12, these passes can help you bypass long security lines, a price she says is “a relatively small investment for peace of mind.”

Plan carefully if you’re travelling with family

Under the new system, families might even face additional challenges – children under 12 are exempt from fingerprinting and facial recognition, but they must be linked to a registered adult. “For families or large parties travelling, allowing extra time at the airport is essential,” Jane explains. “This process will take longer than average, so plan ahead and keep all documents ready.”

Double-check your passport before you go

Since Brexit, Jane says, one of the most common mistakes travellers make is assuming their passport is valid everywhere, at any point. “Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before your travel date and be valid for at least three months after departure,” Jane says. She stresses that, while most would know their passport is expired, some wouldn’t think to check one thing that also matters: the issue date. She explains: “For example, a passport issued in March 2015 and expiring in December 2025 won’t be valid for EU travel after March 2025.” Failing to check this could mean being turned away at the airport before your trip even begins.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the astronauts of the Artemis II mission that Canadians ‘couldn’t be more proud’ of them.

In a lighthearted call from Canada to space, Carney spoke with the astronauts about their experiences and lessons from the mission. He also joked about their preference for Nutella or maple syrup on pancakes, following the viral moment when cameras caught a jar of Nutella floating through the microgravity inside the capsule. The Artemis astronauts showed off a Canadian flag patch to Carney, with the prime minister’s title on the back.

Carney also invited the four astronauts to visit Canada after they splash down from their mission on 10 April.

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball’s average salary rose 3.4% on opening day to a record $5.34 million, according to a study by The Associated Press, and the New York Mets topped spending at the season’s start for the fourth straight year.

Mets outfielder Juan Soto is the highest-paid player for the second consecutive season at $61.9 million and was followed by New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger at $42.5 million.

Philadelphia pitcher Zack Wheeler and Mets third baseman Bo Bichette tied for third at $42 million. Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was fifth at $40.2 million, just ahead of Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge at $40 million.

The Mets’ payroll of $352.2 million was just below the record $355.4 million they set in 2023 and up from $322.6 million last year. The Mets’ total is more than five times that of Cleveland, the lowest-spending team at $62.3 million.

The two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers were second at $316.6 million, down from $319.5 million last year. The Dodgers’ total would be $395.2 million if deals for nine players with deferred money had not been discounted to present-day value. The Mets have deals with deferred money with just three players and their total would be $360 million without discounting.

MLB’s average of $5,335,966 increased from $5,160,245 at the start of last season and has risen 28% under the five-year collective bargaining agreement that expires in December, an average of 5.6% annually.

The top five spenders were unchanged from last year, with the Yankees third ($297.2 million), followed by Philadelphia ($282 million) and Toronto ($269 million).

Six clubs had $250 million payrolls, up from four; and 10 teams had $200 million payrolls, an increase from nine.

Eight teams were under $100 million, up from five.

Detroit had the biggest increase, up $64.2 million to $206.7 million after signing pitcher Framber Valdez, re-signing Gleyber Torres with a qualifying offer and giving a big raise to ace Tarik Skubal via arbitration. Atlanta increased by $44.1 million, and the Chicago Cubs, Toronto and the Mets by just under $30 million.

Minnesota slashed payroll by $46.3 million from opening day last year to $96.5 million.

St. Louis cut its opening day payroll from $141.5 million to $100.4 million. The Cardinals’ spending includes $44 million it is paying Arizona and Boston as part of trades to get rid of Nolan Arenado, Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras, plus just under $3.4 million to Arenado as the present-day value of a $6 million assignment bonus that originally had been deferred money owed in his contract and remains payable by the Cardinals in 2040 and ’41.

Other teams with big cuts included the Guardians ($40.2 million), Texas ($37.3 million) and Washington ($23.3 million).

Payrolls include the 942 players on opening day rosters and injured lists. They do not include players on the restricted list such as Cleveland pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, Atlanta outfielder Jurickson Profar and Philadelphia outfielder Johan Rojas.

They also don’t reflect players who started the season assigned to minor league teams such as Dodgers second baseman Hyeseong Kim and Toronto pitcher Yariel Rodríguez.

Baseball’s median salary, the point at which an equal number of players are above and below, rose to $1.4 million from $1.35 million and remained below the record high of $1.65 million at the start of 2015. Active rosters expanded to 26 players in 2021.

Average and median salaries decline over the course of the season as veterans are released and replaced by younger players making closer to the minimum. MLB calculated the 2025 final average at $4.61 million and the players’ association at $4.72 million.

There were 519 players earning $1 million or more, at 55% the same as last year.

Nineteen players earned $30 million or more, an increase of four; 74 were at $20 million, up from 66; and 168 at $10 million, down from 177.

Thirty-one players made the $780,000 minimum.

The top 50 players make 30% of the salaries, up from 29% in the prior two years, and the top 100 earn 49%, up from 48% last year.

The AP’s figures include salaries and prorated shares of signing bonuses and other guaranteed income. Payroll figures factor in adjustments for cash transactions in trades, signing bonuses that are the responsibility of the club agreeing to the contract, option buyouts and termination pay for released players.

MLB’s payrolls are based on 40-man rosters and fluctuate each day depending on roster moves.

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon reeled Thursday after the deadliest day in more than five weeks of renewed war between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group, as rescue workers in Beirut and elsewhere searched for survivors and Israel warned of escalation.

Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, warned that continued Israeli attacks on Lebanon would bring “explicit costs and STRONG responses,” while insisting that a two-week ceasefire in the Iran war extended to Lebanon. Israel has disagreed.

Israeli strikes on Wednesday without warning killed at least 203 people and wounded more than 1,000, Lebanon’s health ministry said. Israel’s military said it targeted Hezbollah sites, but several strikes hit densely packed commercial and residential areas during rush hour, leading to widespread civilian casualties. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called the attacks “barbaric.”

Israeli strikes continued targeting southern Lebanon on Thursday. Israel also said it had killed an aide and nephew of Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem, Ali Yusuf Harshi, in the strikes. Hezbollah did not immediately comment.

In Beirut, people waited anxiously on the ragged edges of search and rescue work, covering their faces from the dust. Exhausted firefighters sat on a charred car amid collapsed buildings.

Lebanese Civil Defense spokesperson Elie Khairallah told The Associated Press that a wounded woman was found alive under the rubble overnight in the seaside neighborhood of Ain Mreisseh, and a man was found alive in his collapsed apartment building in the southern suburbs.

Mohammad Chehab, a Syrian man from Deir el-Zour, said six of his 10 family members had been found dead in a destroyed building.

“They’ve been searching all day” for the rest, he said.

At hospitals, survivors and doctors described the carnage.

“I thought I was dead. What happened? A big flash of light struck my face and eyes and I found someone flying over and landing next to me. He was dead,” said Rabee Koshok from his bed at Makassed hospital in Beirut. He had been in the commercial district of Corniche al Mazraa when a strike hit a nearby building.

Dr. Wael Jarrosh said the hospital had received around 70 injured patients within 10 minutes of the blasts. Two people died and five remain hospitalized, including three in intensive care, Jarrosh said.

“This has destroyed us psychologically,” the doctor added. “We have to stay prepared so that we can serve our families and the injuries that come in.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said strikes would proceed “with force, precision and determination.” Israel’s military has accused Hezbollah members of moving out of the group’s main areas of influence in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, and blending into civilian areas.

The Israeli army has also launched a ground invasion in the border region. The death toll in Lebanon has reached 1,739, the health ministry said, with 5,873 wounded.

Meanwhile, the main border crossing between Lebanon and Syria returned to service Thursday, five days after the Israeli military warned of plans to strike it, alleging that Hezbollah was using it to smuggle military equipment. Lebanese and Syrian authorities denied the claim.

More than 200,000 people have fled Lebanon into Syria since the war resumed.

Abou AlJoud reported from Beirut. Associated Press journalists Kareem Chehayeb and Hussein Malla in Beirut and Ghaith AlSayed in Jdeidet Yabous, Syria, contributed to this report.

Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a domestic storm over the two-week ceasefire with Iran, with critics accusing him of presiding over “the worst political disaster in history”.

The Israeli prime minister has sparked backlash from parties across the country’s political spectrum for choosing not to continue the conflict alongside Donald Trump.

There is also growing international outcry over ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanon, that as of Thursday had killed 1,700 people, including 130 children. Western countries have insisted Lebanon must be part of the ceasefire, while Tehran claimed that attacks on the country represented a “grave violation” of the agreement.

The developments have sparked outrage among Israeli politicians, who have urged Netanyahu to continue the war. Opposition leader Yair Lapid branded the Israeli PM’s handling of the conflict a catastrophe.

“There has never been such a political disaster in all of our history,” he wrote in a post on X on Wednesday. “Israel wasn’t even at the table when decisions were made concerning the core of our national security.”

He praised the military for carrying out “everything that was asked of it” and the public for demonstrating “amazing resilience”, but said they had both been let down by Netanyahu due to what he called the leader’s “arrogance, negligence and lack of strategic planning”.

Lapid’s criticism was repeated by former prime minister Naftali Bennett, who said Israel’s failure to achieve its war goals would leave it “facing a vengeful Iran.”

“The reason why so many people feel disappointed tonight is that the leadership sold us illusions,” he said in a live broadcast on Wednesday.

“All their empty promises have exploded in our faces. Unfortunately, each of us sees with our own eyes that Hamas is getting stronger. Hezbollah and Iran are standing on their own two feet, and this is happening because a government that dismantles Israel from within cannot defeat the enemy from without.”

Yair Golan, centre-left politician and the head of the Democrats party, accused Netanyahu of lying.

“He promised a ‘historic victory’ and security for generations, and in practice, we got one of the gravest strategic failures Israel has known,” he said in a post on X, adding: “Blood was spilled … brave citizens killed (and) soldiers fell … none of the goals were accomplished.”

“The nuclear program was not destroyed; the ballistic threat remains; the regime is in place and is even stronger coming out of this war,” he continued.

Netanyahu’s education minister Yoav Kisch hit back his critics, accusing them of “pumping up a defeat that’s echoed in the enemy’s media outlets”.

The Israeli PM has also faced growing international outcry over the IDF’s campaign in Lebanon, which aid agencies warn has created a humanitarian catastrophe. Over 250 people have been killed in 24 hours in the deadliest attacks on the country since the conflict began.

More than 100 sites were targeted in 10 minutes on Wednesday and more than a million people (20 per cent of the population) has been displaced since the war began in February.

Despite a ceasefire being agreed on Wednesday, Netanyahu and the White House said that the 14-day truce does not apply to Lebanese territory – a key demand for Tehran.

But Netanyahu and the White House said that the ceasefire does not apply to Lebanese territory.

Israel says it must continue its attacks in order to defeat Hezbollah, an Iran-backed proxy group. However, large numbers of civilians have been killed so far and humanitarian groups have warned there are similarities to the IDF’s campaign in Gaza.

Spain, France and the UK have all called for the ceasefire to be extended to Lebanon.

Britain’s foreign minister Yvette Cooper called for the country to be “urgently included” and called Israel’s attacks “highly damaging” on Thursday, following similar comments by French president Emmanuel Macron.

The European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas criticised the number of civilian deaths in Lebanon and said it was becoming “hard to argue that such heavy-handed actions fall within self-defence”.

Trump has also come under fire in Israel for agreeing a ceasefire.

“Donald, you came off as a duck,” said the far-right head of the country’s National Security Committee, Tzvika Foghel in a since-deleted post on X.

The head of the conservative Yisrael Beytenu party, Avigdor Liberman, said the agreement with Iran “gives the ayatollah’s regime a break and time to regroup.”

“Any agreement with Iran, without giving up on destroying Israel, enriching uranium, manufacturing ballistic missiles and supporting terror groups in the region, means we’ll return to another war in harder conditions with a heavier price,” he wrote on X.

The conflict in Iran – but also the war in Ukraine – show not only that AI is radically changing the economics of war (which may be good news), but also that we may be heading towards some kind of “Chernobyl moment”. We may soon experience a disaster that will force us to belatedly realise we should have drawn up some shared rules to govern a technological development that we ourselves triggered.

Even Dario Amodei, the founder of AI company Anthropic, who seems passionate about taking action to prevent Armageddon, acknowledges that he doesn’t have the answer we desperately need.

One of the most interesting attempts to regulate the use of artificial intelligence may have been the one drafted during the second world war by a PhD student at Columbia University who was then temporarily employed by the US Navy. His name was Isaac Asimov, and in his early short story Runaround (1941), he postulated three laws that are still surprisingly inspiring for anyone thinking about how to solve the intellectual and political problem that is AI in warfare.

Unlike recent attempts by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and the EU to draw up regulations, Asimov’s laws are admirably concise. They state that a robot (what we now call an “artificially intelligent agent”) shall never harm a human being (or allow harm to happen through inaction. It shall always obey the orders given by humans unless they conflict with the first prohibition. And it will always protect its existence unless this conflicts with the first and second provisions.

In his story, Asimov himself shows how the three laws can create internal contradictions, leading to paralysis. And yet, Asimov’s three principles can still be useful as a starting point for the strategy we now need.

Anthropic takes a ‘stance’

The biggest merit of the note Dario Amodei wrote recently on the perils of a technology which is still in its adoloscence is the acknowledgement that Anthropic, the firm that Amodei founded, is using its own large language model (called Claude) to develop further versions of itself.

Artificial intelligence is generating even more intelligent robots and this brings us near to that “singularity” first theorised by the great mathematician John von Neumann – the moment when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and renders us irrelevant. If the technology is an adolescent, it is growing very fast and will soon be out of the control of its creator.

Amodei does not, however, appear to have a concrete proposal on how to manage this problem. He has said that Anthropic’s contracts with the US Department of War should never include the use of the company’s models for empowering either “mass domestic surveillance” or “fully autonomous weapons”.

It is a request that has brought Anthropic into a bitter dispute with the US government. And yet it seems a rather narrow response that covers just one dimension of a much wider problem. Amodei focuses predominantly on the safety of US citizens when it is people elsewhere in the world who are currently most affected by the use of autonomous weapons. We need a bolder vision – and Asimov’s intuitions may help.

New rules

One approach would be to ask all developers of AI models to introduce in their foundational codes three simple and bold commands along the lines of: “You will never kill a human being (unless for self-defence)”; “you will always try to work for the betterment of mankind (unless such a provision entails the violation of the first command)”; “when you doubt that your actions may violate the first or the second commands, you will choose inaction and ask what to do”.

Most likely, this initiative will have to come from a group of countries following a pattern similar to the treaties of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. And it would be good to have a debate on some new ideas before we are forced to do so by some AI-empowered nuclear unintended consequence.

Like all other attempts to regulate a future that we still cannot even envisage, the three commands will have some drawbacks. A robot may have refused to kill Iran’s former leader Ali Khamenei, but that may be a price worth paying if it means we can avoid setting a precedent for other discretionary and dangerous interpretations. Robots may not always be successful at identifying human beings (as Asimov himself acknowledged in later writing) and yet this may well be one of those intellectually fascinating problems that models born to make sense of human language will solve.

More importantly, it will take not only information but a lot of wisdom to understand what is good for humankind. Robots may end up sitting frequently idle waiting for instructions. And yet efficiency is not a religion we have to follow when the challenge is about the survival of our species. Making sense of what increasingly appears to be one of the greatest technological revolutions of all time requires careful thought and forward planning.
