Oasis have caused a ‘riot’ after they reportedly forced BBC bosses to take down a World Cup tribute video which featured celebrities singing the Gallagher brothers’ hit song Wonderwall. 

Featuring stars including Stephen Fry, Maya Jama, Claudia Winkleman and Micah Richards, the BBC had hoped the clip would go viral after the song became synonymous with England’s wins during the tournament. 

Some fans described the footage as ‘excruciating’ and likened it to a ‘car crash’ after catching a glimpse before the clip was taken down. 

And it has now been revealed that Liam and Noel Gallagher‘s legal team reportedly demanded its removal as the BBC hadn’t sought the correct permissions to use it on social media. 

A source said: ‘The BBC dropped an enormous ball with the Oasis video as it caused a riot.

‘BBC Sport saw all the traction Wonderwall was getting and decided to spend a lot of time, and a fair bit of cash, getting all these stars to sing or speak along. Their idea was it would go viral but instead Oasis’s legal team shot it down.’

They told The Sun: ‘Apparently the BBC didn’t seek the correct permissions to use the song on social media so they didn’t have a leg to stand on.’

The project was a huge waste of time and money for the television company.  

BBC Sport boss Alex Kay-Jelski failed to save the video despite his attempts to fight Oasis’s demands to take it down. 

The video began with Micah singing the iconic lyrics before others including Sara Cox, Michael McIntyre, Emma Raducanu, Ross Kemp and Lee Mack also chimed in. 

Wonderwall became somewhat of an anthem during this year’s world cup, with England players Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham encouraging the crowd to belt the lyrics after each win. 

The BBC declined to comment when approached by the Daily Mail. Oasis’s representatives have been contacted.

The news comes just days after Oasis released the official trailer for their hotly anticipated Disney documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger.

Set to be released in cinemas worldwide on September 11, the film charts Liam and Noel’s triumphant reunion tour, Oasis Live ‘25, one of the most anticipated rock n roll comebacks of our time.

From the creator of Peaky Blinders Steven Knight, advance tickets for the documentary are now available to buy on Fandango.

As the trailer follows the build-up from the idea to reunite to the band taking to the stage, Noel admits: ‘I just don’t see myself on stage with Liam.

‘I don’t really want to go back with the tension, will it fall apart again?’

As moments from the historic tour play out, he adds: ‘The songs are one thing, but I’d forgotten what he [Liam] means to people.

‘I certainly wasn’t prepared for the intense outpouring… a sense of what it meant to people.’

Later in the trailer, as the brothers walked on stage hand in hand, Liam adds: ‘We have got a chance to change the narrative of the band.’

The documentary features Liam and Noel’s first joint interview in over 20 years and is also set for release on Hulu and Disney+ in the US later this year.

The film is an unapologetically uplifting account of the biggest musical event of 2025, capturing the experience and emotions of the band and their fans across the world.

The unique perspective includes rehearsal, backstage and onstage access.

Alongside the band’s sold-out world tour, the film also explores the profound emotional impact of this phenomenal global cultural moment and what their music means to audiences and generations worldwide.

CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti (AP) — The U.S. deported more than 160 people to Haiti on Thursday for the first time since the Trump administration won a legal battle to end Temporary Protected Status for some 350,000 Haitians.

The plane landed in the northern Haitian city of Cap-Haitien because the main international airport in Port-au-Prince is considered too dangerous. The U.S. government currently has a ban on U.S. commercial flights to Haiti’s capital through early September because of ongoing gang violence.

The deportees were clad in white, and many covered their faces out of safety as journalists filmed their arrival. Nearly all declined to talk, with some fearing being targeted by gangs that control an estimated 70% of Port-au-Prince and swaths of land beyond.

The deportees included TPS holders and Haitians who had served prison sentences, said Jean Négot Bonheur Delva, director general of Haiti’s National Office of Migration.

“It is not the Haitian state that asks for them to be sent back,” he said. “Our mission is to welcome migrants of forced return. … We welcome them with the aim of accompanying them to their home.”

Deported Haitians search for a home

Delva noted that some of the deportees were not born in Haiti, although they are of Haitian descent.

He said that several deportees planned to travel to Haiti’s southern region, a dangerous journey because gangs control the main routes leading to that area and are known to randomly open fire on vehicles passing through.

Others are going to Haiti’s western region, he said.

“There is one migrant who knows nothing about Haiti because he said he was coming from the Dominican Republic; that’s where he was born,” Delva said.

He said the government would attempt to reunify him with any potential relatives in Haiti or the Dominican Republic, where his mother and father live.

Immigration officials in Haiti on Thursday offered deportees a maximum of $65 and something to drink and eat.

“Those who cannot reach their homes today, we will host them in secure spaces and the next day the process will continue until all migrants return home as they should,” Delva said.

Delva did not say how many of the 161 deportees were TPS holders who had been living and working legally in the U.S. since 2010.

Activists have warned that Haiti is currently too dangerous and doesn’t have enough resources to help those being deported to a country of nearly 12 million people, of which more than half need humanitarian assistance because of surging gang violence and deepening poverty, hunger and violence.

Gang violence already has displaced a record 1.5 million people across Haiti, where more than 3,100 people were reported killed from January to June and another 1,189 injured, according to U.N. statistics.

One deportee briefly spoke to The Associated Press as he arrived in Cap-Haitien. He identified himself as Jean Diane Louis and said he left Haiti when he was 5 years old. He said his family lives in New York City and that he was sentenced to 19 years in prison for an unspecified crime he asserted he did not commit.

“Then ICE came and took me without questioning me,” Louis said. “They just sent me here.”

As gang violence persists, Haitian migrants in the U.S. continue to be arrested and deported.

On Thursday, U.S. authorities arrested a popular Haitian pastor at a gas station in Springfield, Ohio, according to Springfield G92, a faith-based group supporting Haitian immigrants. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a second Haitian man who was with him.

The pastor, Gilbert Joubert Adrien, was being held by immigration authorities in Ohio, said Marjory Wentworth, a spokesperson for Springfield G92. She said ICE has been a heavy presence in recent days in Springfield, a city of about 60,000 people that gained attention when U.S. President Donald Trump said falsely during his 2024 campaign that Haitian residents there ate dogs.

Haiti’s Group Supporting Refugees and Returnees has decried the deportations.

“Haiti is not ready to receive this number of migrants who were in the TPS program,” it said in a statement Thursday.

The group noted that more than 140,000 Haitians have been deported from neighboring countries, including the Dominican Republic, in the first half of the year alone.

“We note that there are no government measures in place to adequately assist these migrants,” the group said.

It added that many of those deported “have seen their dreams go up in smoke; the bonds they had already made in their communities are broken. Many are experiencing family separation.”

The U.S. had conducted about one deportation flight to Haiti since December 2023, according to Human Rights First’s ICE Flight Monitor, which tracks flight data. Since December 2025, flights have originated in Alexandria, Louisiana, a hub for ICE deportation flights, with a stop in Miami on the way to Cap-Haitien International Airport.

Coto reported from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The film set has taken over Glasgow’s Bothwell Street as final preparations are made for filming.

A glazing of snow sits in the middle of the junction between Bothwell and Wellington Street, and Christmas wreaths and a tree can be seen in the windows and in front of a Gotham City building.

The Bavaria Brauhaus on the corner of Wellington Street has temporarily been transformed into the Office of the City Clerk of the City of Gotham, and the bus stop just in front of it has fake timetables for Batman’s fictional city.

A camera crane and a variety of lighting and filming equipment were also seen on the streets around Glasgow city centre.

Eager fans gathered along the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the batmobile or part of the action.

Bystanders took pictures with Gotham City signs and there was plenty of excitement about when rehearsals or filming might begin.

Filming will take place in a number of locations around the city this month, with road closures expected in the Newton Street and North Street area.

Earlier this week, Gotham Police Swat vehicles were photographed in preparation for filming, alongside an American-style Gotham Police car and large lorries.

But there has been excitement closer to home after a major bridge North West bridge has been transformed for filming on the upcoming Batman sequel.

The original was filmed throughout Liverpool

The Silver Jubilee Bridge in Runcorn was covered in artificial snow as crews filmed scenes for the latest instalment featuring the Caped Crusader.

Trucks sprayed fake snow across the iconic crossing on Saturday, creating an unusual sight in the height of summer.

Directed by Matt Reeves, the latest instalment in the Batman franchise sees the return of Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader, alongside Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.

The cast also includes Scarlett Johansson, Jayme Lawson and Charles Dance.

The movie is the follow-up to Reeves’s 2022 film The Batman, which took more than 772 million US dollars (£570 million) at the global box office.

It is due to be released in cinemas on February 18 2028.

Glasgow has doubled as the fictional Gotham City a number of times previously, including in Christopher Nolan’s 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises, The Batman (2022) and The Flash (2023).

It’s been 28 years since Kim Cattrall emerged as blonde bombshell Samantha Jones in Sex And The City.

And still to this day, the actress continues to showcase her envy-inducing looks at the age of 70.

Kim, who celebrates her 70th birthday on Friday, proves the ageing process is not anything to be afraid of as she continues to flaunt her stunning looks.

Ahead of approaching her seventies, the star has been open about how her beauty philosophy has changed over the years.

‘As you get older, you realise that you’re enough, and all those other cliches,’ she told ELLE.

As she enters a new chapter, what are the secrets to her flawless appearance and jaw-dropping figure? Here, the Daily Mail finds out.

More than a decade ago, Kim told the Daily Mail that she wanted to ’embrace aging.’

But now she has admitted that she is all about ‘battling aging in every way I can,’ with the help of Botox and fillers.

However, going under the needle, isn’t entirely in vain for the Emmy-nominated star.

She told The Sunday Times: ‘It’s not just a vanity thing. I play a certain kind of woman who looks a certain kind of way. And professionally I am looking after myself.’

The star admitted thanks to her financial situation, she can basically do whatever she wants to her face and body.

Still, she warns that the end goal is to continue looking like the Kim Cattrall we all know.

The actress added that she wants to ‘look like the best version’ of herself and encourages anyone thinking of cosmetic surgery to find the ‘right surgeon.’

She added: ‘It can’t be emphasized enough. You want to look like you!’

Last year, Kim gave a peek inside her skincare routine as she was the beauty muse for Lancôme’s Rénergie Triple Serum Retinol.

She uses it for a ‘boost of love and attention,’ citing vitamin C, peptides and pure retinol as the hero ingredients.

‘Look we all know this is an ad, but this will fade your wrinkles — not your smile,’ she said in a Mother’s Day-themed ad for the product.

As for makeup, her approach has changed over the years.

She now uses less in her day-to-day life, focusing on using a good sunscreen and moisturizer daily.

‘As I get older, less really is a lot more. I don’t want to start wearing a lot of makeup,’ she told People.

‘I want to feel my skin being able to breathe and protect it and support it.’

When it comes to maintaining her incredible figure, Kim likes to keep very active.

She told Woman and Home: ‘I try to do cardio three or four times a week. 

‘And I’ve had injuries in the past so I also do ‘physio yoga’ – a combination of physio and yoga so I’m constantly trying to rehabilitate my body. 

‘The older I get, the less jarring I want my exercise to be and I find that a long walk is equally as helpful and satisfying as a three-mile jog.’

The star admitted that she is all about ‘battling aging in every way I can,’ with the help of Botox and fillers 

Kim doesn’t want to injure her body by running too much, so the walks help her get the cardio exercise that she needs. She also enjoys swimming. 

The actress credits ‘physio yoga’ for helping to reduce and manage her chronic knee pain and injuries from stage rehearsals and intense filming. 

As for food, the actress follows the anti-inflammatory Perricone Diet to maintain her youthful glow. 

She likes to eat almost anything, especially pasta with garlic, dry herbs, stewing meat, and vegetables.

She told Woman and Home: ‘I have a big appetite and I like to eat, and staying on top of that is about knowing myself and saying, ‘I can eat that today, but tomorrow I’m not going to’. 

‘And I’m always aware from gaining and losing weight for parts that the time in the gym trying to lose extra weight is really hard work! I always have that in my mind.’

Ahead of her 70th birthday, the actress opened up about the biggest lesson she learned in her 60s.

She told New Beauty: ‘Patience and looking back on what I feel I’ve accomplished, and enjoying that success and surrounding myself with people that want the best for me personally and professionally.

‘That sounds like, ‘well, why wouldn’t you, of course,’ but sometimes that’s taken for granted, and I don’t think we should take our girlfriends or our mentors for granted because they’ve been there, and that knowledge, you can’t find in a doctor’s office.’

Manchester United are reportedly involved in several transfer dealings as Michael Carrick looks to improve his squad ahead of the new Premier League season

Manchester United are set for a busy end to the summer transfer window. Manager Michael Carrick remains focused on strengthening his squad ahead of deadline day on September 1.

United have submitted a bid worth up to £65m for Brighton star Carlos Baleba as part of the club’s midfield overhaul. He would become the third midfielder to head to Old Trafford this summer, after the completion of moves for Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.

The 22-year-old midfielder would become the team’s most expensive signing of the window so far. However, Carrick’s side are set to recoup some of their transfer outlay through a sell-on clause which is expected to be activated this summer.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils look set to lose out on two academy prospects to Arsenal. Here, Mirror Football looks at some of the biggest transfer stories surrounding United.

Michael Carrick to get transfer gift

United are set to receive an unexpected gift in the transfer window, with former defender Willy Kambwala all set to leave Villarreal. The 21-year-old made 10 appearances for United before joining the Spanish club in 2024.

The Manchester Evening News reports that United included a “sizeable” sell-on fee when dealing with Villarreal two years ago. Italian club Como are claimed to be leading the race for Kambwala’s signature, while La Liga club Osasuna have also shown interest.

The situation means United will receive a small sum when Kambwala leaves Villarreal, as he is not expected to command a significant fee, which reduces the amount heading back to Old Trafford. The defender has made 23 total appearances since leaving United, with injury limiting his minutes last season.

With United set to benefit from the sell-on fee in Kambwala’s deal, the club have recently included the same clause when selling academy stars this summer. Tyler Fredricson’s move to Lausanne-Sport also included a “high percentage” sell-on fee, with a similar clause inserted in Radek Vitek’s switch to Middlesbrough.

Man Utd set for double deal

Elsewhere, United are reportedly set to lose academy prospects James Scanlon and Habeeb Ogunneye to Arsenal. Winger Scanlon, 19, spent part of last season with Swindon Town, while defender Ogunneye, 20, was loaned to Newport County until returning in January.

The Evening Standard reports that Scanlon is a serious target for the Gunners, who have focused on snapping up several young prospects this summer. It is claimed that further talks with United are planned over the Gibraltar international, with personal terms not expected to cause any issues.

It is added that Arsenal are closing in on a free transfer for Ogunneye, who was reportedly set to undergo his medical on Thursday, with United retaining a 40 per cent sell-on clause. The defender is set to join the Gunners’ Under-21 side and will also be given chances to train with the first team.
