As Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury settle into life as a family of four, fans remain curious as to what their newborn son will be called.

The reality royalty couple, who first met on Love Island in 2019, welcomed their second baby last week, after three-year-old daughter Bambi’s birth in January 2023.

Molly-Mae kept her new son’s gender private throughout her pregnancy, only revealing it after the initial post announcing his birth.

Speculation has since been rife about his name, following the stir that Bambi’s caused last time – and the fact that Molly-Mae has already warned everyone is going to ‘hate’ their choice.

And now it’s being reported that their new baby’s name will be revealed for the first time on Tommy’s shorts this weekend when he boxes Eddie Hall in their pay-per-view match on Saturday.

A source told The Sun: ‘The little man’s name will be on Tommy’s shorts at his fight along with Bambi’s. That’s how they are going to announce it to the world.

‘The shorts will be two-toned colour. It was Tommy’s idea and Molly was very open to it.’

The insider continued: ‘Now the little fella is here it’s a no-brainer — what better way to announce his name than on his dad’s boxing shorts.’

They also said that Molly-Mae was ‘now obsessed with it’ and hoping to be there at the match, with plans for Tommy’s walk out to include music and blue fireworks.

After the new mum returned home from the Portland Hospital, she shared a black and white photo of her family all cuddled up on the sofa.

‘I can’t believe I have two children,’ she wrote on Instagram stories alongside the picture, which showed Bambi sat on her dad’s lap while Molly-Mae held their newborn in her arms, covering his face with a small heart emoji.

Her cosy updates from home have continued, with the influencer and entrepreneur also getting candid about how different her experience as a mother had been this time around.

‘Thank you for healing so many of my newborn fears little one,’ she wrote on a photo of her new son resting asleep on a blue blanket.

‘The peace and happiness I feel this time around is something I wished for but didn’t know would come.

‘The difference compared to this stage with Bambi is indescribable.’

Marston’s has launched 50,000 commemorative glasses across its pubs nationwide, with several venues in Bolton and Greater Manchester taking part from June 11.

The glasses feature a St George’s flag-inspired design and come in a keepsake presentation box.

Neil Campbell, Chief Operating Officer at Marston’s, said: “The World Cup is one of those moments in the calendar that brings the whole country together, with pubs right at the heart of the action.

“We’re incredibly proud of the role our pubs play in bringing communities together to share these memorable moments, whether that’s celebrating a big victory or tensely watching another nail-biting penalty shoot-out.”

Participating venues in and around Bolton include the York on Newport Street, the Poacher in Blackrod and the Jolly Crofters in Horwich.

The Sparking Clog in Radcliffe, the Talbot in Atherton and the Bridge Tavern in Radcliffe will also stock the glasses while supplies last.

Fans can buy the commemorative glass for £5, or purchase one for £2 when buying a qualifying round of drinks.

The glasses will be available at more than 700 Marston’s pubs across the country.

Only 50,000 have been produced nationwide and they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last.

Mr Campbell added: “We wanted to create something special for England fans – a keepsake that captures those shared good times and gives our guests something to take home with them.”

The summer window is fast approaching as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham all look to get transfer business complete before the World Cup begins this week. Arsenal have their eyes on Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi, who took the Premier League by storm in his debut season. The Gunners also hold interest in Sandro Tonali, while talks continue for wonderkid Jeremy Monga.

Pakistani airstrikes killed at least 13 people, including 11 children, in Afghanistan on Wednesday, renewing hostilities between the neighbours.

The two nations have engaged in months of fighting that has already killed hundreds of people and displaced many more.

Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said the latest airstrikes targeted the provinces of Khost, Kunar and Paktika, and killed 11 children, one woman and an elderly man.

There was no immediate acknowledgment of the strikes from Pakistan.

Though the situation along the border has been calm since the strikes, Kabul has previously responded to Pakistani strikes by targeting the neighbour’s posts along their frontier.

The border has remained closed to bilateral trade since October last year.

The strikes came a day after suspected Pakistani Taliban militants attacked a security post in the Hasan Khel area of northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan, triggering an intense gunbattle in which six personnel of the Federal Constabulary were killed and many wounded, according to Pakistan’s interior ministry.

Authorities said on Tuesday that security forces killed eight of the attackers and thwarted an attempt to overrun the checkpoint.

Interior minister Mohsin Naqvi later attended funeral prayers for the dead personnel in Peshawar. Mr Naqvi paid tribute to the dead and expressed condolences to their families, saying that their sacrifices would not be forgotten.

He also said Pakistan remained united in its fight against militancy and that operations against groups threatening peace and security would be intensified.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have engaged in deadly fighting since late February, when Afghan forces launched a cross-border attack in retaliation for Pakistani airstrikes.

Pakistan later declared it was in open war with Afghanistan, following a surge in militant attacks on civilians and security forces inside the country.

In March, Afghanistan said a deadly Pakistani airstrike hit a drug-treatment centre in Kabul, killing more than 400 people. The death toll could not be independently confirmed.

Pakistan disputed the claim and denied targeting civilians, saying it struck an ammunition depot.

The latest strikes came months after China hosted peace talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Urumqi. Beijing later said the two sides had agreed not to escalate the conflict and explore a solution.

Authorities in Pakistan said Beijing and other friendly countries were still encouraging both sides to reach an agreement for durable peace.

Masood Khan, a security analyst based in Islamabad, said Pakistan’s priority was ending attacks by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, commonly known as the Pakistani Taliban, which was suspected of operating from Afghan soil.

Mr Khan said the solution to the tension lay in enforcing a decree by Taliban leader Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada ordering the Pakistani Taliban to stop attacks in the neighbouring country.

“That decree must be implemented sincerely and faithfully,” he said.

Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of harbouring militants that carry out deadly attacks inside Pakistan, especially the Pakistani Taliban. The group is separate from but allied with the Afghan Taliban, which rules Afghanistan. Kabul denies the allegation.

The trial is taking place at the Preston store and features smart carts equipped with touchscreens, sensors, cameras and built-in scales.

Dubbed “Fancy AI trolleys” by one customer, the Caper Carts, supplied by US technology company Instacart, are designed to identify products as they are placed inside, automate weighing, and track spending in real-time.

Gordon Macpherson, Productivity Director at Morrisons, said: “We’re constantly looking for ways to bring innovation to the weekly shop to enhance the experience for our customers.

“We’re excited about bringing the first fully-integrated AI-powered trolleys in the UK to a first store soon, and look forward to testing customer response and building understanding of how the technology works within the Morrisons store estate.”

The trolleys also allow customers to scan items as they shop and weigh fresh produce directly in the cart.

The onboard screen keeps a running total, and the system is linked to Morrisons More cards so discounts and offers can be applied as you shop.

Once the shop is complete, the trolley generates a barcode that can be scanned at a self-checkout to finalise payment.

The trolleys are already in use at major retailers in the US, including Kroger, Aldi, and Coles, but this is the first time the technology has been trialled in the UK.

UK supermarket rankings in 2026

Despite the excitement, concerns about theft and vandalism have been raised online.

One Reddit user wrote: “Trolleys with tablets on that will be left outside? Sure none of them will get stolen.”

Another commented: “They’ll be stolen, broken, in the canal in a few days.”

A third simply asked: “So what happens when they find themselves in the local river or canal?”

Morrisons says the trolleys are equipped with anti-theft features.

If a customer attempts to leave the store without paying, the trolley will reportedly flash red to alert staff.

Instacart also claims the carts are weatherproof, are designed to be stored and operated like standard supermarket trolleys, and have batteries charging automatically when grouped together.

The supermarket first announced the trial last year and is using the Preston launch to gauge customer reaction before any wider rollout across the supermarket’s store network.

At least 12 people were killed and nine injured on Tuesday evening when gunmen opened fire at an informal settlement in Cleveland, east of Johannesburg, police said on Wednesday.

Police believe more than 10 suspects were dropped off in a minibus in an informal settlement in the Cleveland suburb of Johannesburg late Tuesday night and opened fire on people.

Eight men and three women were killed in the attack, according to South African broadcaster eNCAnews.

The suspects arrived in a white Toyota Quantum and entered the settlement from two access points, before fleeing in the same vehicle after carrying out the mass shooting.

The motive for the attack remains unknown.

Informal settlements in South Africa are unplanned residential areas usually made up of shacks or similar structures.

South Africa has one of the world’s highest murder rates, averaging about 60 a day.

“It is alleged that more than 10 suspects were dropped off by a white Toyota Quantum near a petrol station in Cleveland,” the police statement reads.

“The suspects allegedly entered the informal settlement through both entrances and moved through the area, opening fire on residents and community members at multiple locations before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle.”

Local officers responded to a “complaint of shooting in progress” at around 11:10pm local time on Tuesday (10:20pm BST).

This is a breaking news story, more to follow…

With some sunshine for most of England and Wales over the weekend, along with a southerly breeze, temperatures will climb to 22 to 27C, perhaps 28C (82.4F) in south-east England by Sunday.

These temperatures will be around 6 to 8C above average for early June.

Some of the warmth will extend into Northern Ireland and southern Scotland with highs on Sunday of 20 to 22C, but it will be closer to average in more northern areas with 17 to 20C.

It will also be cloudier across more northern areas of the UK over the weekend.

This warmer-than-average weather is forecast to last into next week, but to become an official heatwave temperatures need to be higher than 25-28C – depending on location – for three days in a row.

While it’s possible some areas might reach this definition, it is still a little too early to say with certainty. Not all of the weather models agree on how the high pressure is positioned through the week ahead.

Some forecast models keep it across the UK which would mean that temperatures stay in the mid- to high 20s.

Others move the high pressure away to the east and allow the westerlies from the Atlantic to move back in. This would bring a drop in temperature along with cloud and showers.

The world’s tropical rainforests are edging towards collapse. But knowing how to stop deforestation isn’t enough to drive action. The challenge is aligning all the pieces of the puzzle to initiate substantial change. Now our research suggests the key is to persuade enough people to make the system tip in the right direction.

In the mid-1980s, the British fur industry collapsed in less than a decade. Famous retail stores shut down their fur departments. Fur farming was banned in 2000. By the late 2010s, even fashion houses whose heritage was built on the fur trade had gone fur free, citing consumer sentiment.

This abrupt change didn’t come because of new technology or better regulation. It came because of a shift in social norms, triggered by British fashion photographer David Bailey’s Dumb Animals cinema ad campaign. This short film featured a catwalk model trailing a fur dripping with blood and a slogan: “It takes up to 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat. But only one to wear it.” Once desirable and luxurious, fur coats quickly became taboo.

Unfortunately, a similar shift has not yet happened in how people consider tropical forest destruction.

To slow deforestation, scientists can map and monitor forests from space to the resolution of a single tree. Certification schemes have made supply chains more transparent and given consumers and regulators something to act on. Securing Indigenous land tenure produces the lowest deforestation rates on the planet.

Yet every year another patch of Amazon the size of a small European country gets cut down or burnt.

In Southeast Asia, palm oil and pulp monocultures continue to decimate its rainforests. In the Congo Basin and West Africa, small-scale agriculture, charcoal production, cocoa, coffee and mining are steadily fraying another of the planet’s vital areas for biodiversity and carbon storage.

The world’s tropical forests are all edging closer towards a catastrophic dieback. This isn’t a knowledge issue. It’s a problem about how societies change their minds.

Tipping points

When positive change happens, it’s easy to assume that evidence accumulates that things are getting worse, the public is informed, opinion shifts, policy follows, then behaviour and consumption adjust. Each step is gradual and linear. The dial turns slowly.

Except that’s not how anything important does change. Take smoking in public places, the acceptance of same-sex marriage or the speed with which electric vehicles are becoming mainstream. Nothing happens for years or decades, then everything happens all at once.

This is the nature of tipping points: thresholds beyond which a system abruptly reorganises itself and settles into a new state that becomes hard to reverse.

UK may be on verge of triggering a ‘positive tipping point’ for tackling climate change

At the University of Exeter, we research what makes such change – good and bad – happen slowly then all at once, and how we might trigger the good ones deliberately. We’re exploring how to find tipping points that could positively protect tropical forests at our upcoming Exeter climate conference.

Many social systems, like those in nature, have tipping points. They can resist change up to a point. Then a relatively small, additional nudge – perhaps a film, a court ruling, a fall in the price of something, a critical mass of new adopters – flips a system into a new stable state that is hard to reverse.

That can be hopeful, in a way that gradual change is not, because it means that we don’t have to persuade everyone to do the right thing. We just need to persuade enough people to make the system tip in the right direction.

What the Amazon teaches us

For tropical forests, the most studied example of a deliberate tipping intervention began in 2006. Following a Greenpeace exposé called Eating Up the Amazon, the world’s largest soy traders agreed not to buy from newly cleared Amazon land. The Amazon soy moratorium worked, dramatically. Direct soy-driven deforestation in the Amazon fell from around 30% of soy expansion to under 4%. This became a textbook strategy for protecting tropical forests.

But while the moratorium was a success inside the Amazon, soy production has expanded elsewhere, including into the neighbouring Cerrado, Brazil’s vast tropical savanna, driving rapid deforestation there. Rural communities in the Amazon saw little of the prosperity that might have made standing forest the obvious economic choice. The underlying incentive structure – an economy that still pays more to clear land than to keep it intact – was never reshaped.

Twenty years on, that fragile arrangement is under serious strain. Major traders have signalled their intent to withdraw. Brazil is moving to ban the agreement outright.

Pressure is not coming from collapsed consumer concern. European supermarket chains including Lidl, Aldi and Tesco have reaffirmed their commitments. More than 70 organisations have signed a manifesto defending the moratorium.

The pressure is coming from somewhere harder to fix: China is now the dominant buyer of Brazilian soy and is not party to the agreement. The EU’s deforestation regulation has been delayed and weakened. A new EU trade deal with Mercosur (a South American trade bloc bringing together Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) expands Brazilian exports into Europe. And Brazil’s powerful agribusiness lobby has spent two decades patiently working to dismantle the agreement from within.

So a supply-chain commitment that covers one market but not another will leak. A consumer pressure that is real in Berlin but absent in Shanghai will eventually be outflanked. A moratorium that protects a forest without making it economically rewarding for people living in it will be politically vulnerable. Each mechanism is just one part of the puzzle.

The three As

By looking at the system as a whole, we can understand how preserving the forest becomes the affordable, attractive and socially acceptable option. Affordability is about finance and the supply chain. Attractiveness is about the the co-benefits to all parties. Acceptability involves shifting the cultural and political pressure – without that, the other two erode.

We can study, plan for and even deliberately seed positive social tipping points when we design solutions with a whole systems-perspective. For tropical forests, this includes new supply-chain rules, Indigenous leadership and
the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (a new multi-billion-dollar rainforest investment fund).

A concerted, coordinated push across all three aspects will turn the protection of the standing forest into the most affordable, socially acceptable and attractive option.

Cherise Chapman is helping address the decline through a new campaign that reconnects generations.

Ms Chapman, 79, who lives at Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home, is part of Sanctuary Care’s Lifelong Learning Exchange — a scheme that brings older and younger people together to share traditional skills and life experience.

Ms Chapman said: “Sewing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — there’s something so satisfying about being able to mend and make things with your own hands.

“It’s a skill that gives you real confidence and independence.

“I’m delighted to be part of the Lifelong Learning Exchange, and pass on these skills to the younger generation.”

The scheme follows research commissioned by Sanctuary Care, which found that 43 per cent of people in the North East believe sewing and mending clothes is a skill at risk of dying out.

A further 39 per cent believe writing letters and cards is disappearing.

The Lifelong Learning Exchange aims to revive these skills through one-to-one mentoring and practical advice, as well as skill guides, demonstrations and personal stories.

Louise Palmer, director of operations at Sanctuary Care, said: “Our residents hold an incredible wealth of practical knowledge.

“The Lifelong Learning Exchange is about sharing this knowledge, creating meaningful connections between generations, and ensuring essential life skills don’t disappear.

“As part of our developing Young Persons Strategy, we are continuing to explore and evolve ways of bringing younger people into our homes to take part in intergenerational experiences.

“This includes volunteering opportunities, and school or college-led sessions with residents — creating meaningful opportunities for shared learning, connection, and community.”

According to a survey of Sanctuary Care residents, 80 per cent said they had skills or hobbies they wanted to pass on, while another 87 per cent believe traditional skills are at risk of being lost.
