Mia Lily Keogh O’Keeffe is the seventh person to have been killed on the road on the island of Ireland over the course of the weekend

The mother of a teenager killed by a car which failed to remain at the scene has said her “heart will never be the same again.”

This paper has learned that the tragic teenager killed in a hit-and-run on the Slane Road in Navan, Co Meath on Saturday night was 16 year old Mia Lily Keogh O’Keeffe.

She is the seventh person to have been killed on the road on the island of Ireland over the course of the weekend.

Mia, who was from Navan, was walking her dog and was at a pedestrian crossing when a driver struck her with his vehicle and then failed to remain at the scene at around 8:20pm.

Gardai and emergency services rushed to the area and Mia was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, Co Louth, where she was subsequently declared dead.

It is understood Mia was a student at Loreto Secondary School in Navan, has a number of siblings and comes from a well known family in the area.

Gardai were initially searching for the driver, but it is understood that the suspect, who is a man in his 20s, later handed himself in to gardai. He was then placed under arrest and is being questioned over the incident.

It comes as Mia’s devastated mother Louise has taken to social media and posted in a comment:

“My beautiful baby was taken by someone who fled and left her alone. My heart will never be the same again.”

In a statement gardai have appealed for witnesses to the incident to come forward.

“At approximately 8:20pm, Gardaí and emergency services responded to an incident involving a car and a pedestrian. The car involved failed to remain at the scene. The pedestrian, a 16-year-old female, was treated at the scene before being transferred to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, where she was later pronounced deceased.

“A male in his 20s has since been arrested in connection with the investigation and a car has been seized for technical and forensic examination. He is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at a Garda Station in the Eastern Region,” gardai said.

Gardai added that the Coroner has been notified and a post-mortem examination will be arranged.

“The scene remains preserved for examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators and local traffic diversions are in place.”

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision to come forward. Road users with camera footage (including dash-cam) who were travelling in the area between 8:00pm and 8:45pm are asked to make this footage available to investigating Gardaí.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Navan Garda Station on 046 9036100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

The crash comes amid a weekend of carnage on Irish roads that saw six other people killed in separate incidents on the island of Ireland.

A woman, aged in her 80s, died in a single-vehicle collision in Rooaun, Eyrecourt, Co Galway at around 8.15pm on Saturday evening. The elderly woman was the driver and sole occupant of the car and was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a separate incident, two people died in a crash involving a van and a car at around 12pm on the Tramore Road R675 at Robin Hill in Tramore, Co Waterford. A man and a woman, both aged in their 40s, who were the occupants of the car, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The occupants of the van, a man aged in his 50s and a juvenile male, were taken to University Hospital Waterford for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, a further three people died in a road crash in Armagh, with four more people injured in the incident. The victims, two men aged 31 and 48 and a woman, 23, died at the scene of the accident outside the Moy on Saturday night.

Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, called “El Mencho,” was the head of the terrifying Jalisco New Generation Cartel famous for feasting on human flesh and shooting down military aircraft

An infamous drug kingpin has been killed in a military operation, leaving a major cartel without a head in the wake of a raid carried out by amred forces.

Local news sources report that leader of the notorious Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, was killed in military raid. The notorious druglord, better known by his alias ‘El Mencho’, was confirmed dead by federal forces on Sunday, February 22.

Mexican publication MILENIO cited top officials who said Cervantes had been killed in the army operation. Roadblocks were reported in six nearby states with burning cars blocking roads across a wide area in a tactic commonly used by the cartels to prevent military forces carrying out operations against them.

El Mencho became the most powerful drug lord in the country after the capture of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

The US State Department had previously offered a reward of up to $15million for information on El Mencho that would lead to his arrest.

The CJNG has seen a rapid expansion across Mexico in recent years, led by quiet kingpin El Mencho.

Nemesio Oseguera, 53, dropped out of sixth grade to help his family pick avocados, Mexican media reported. As a teenager, he snuck into the United States and tried to build a network of clients as a drug dealer, but he was arrested.

As a young man, he and his older brother, Abraham Oseguera, sold heroin to two undercover police officers in 1992 and were sent to a federal prison and later deported.

In 1997, he travelled to Tijuana, where he built a thriving drug trafficking business; later, he worked as a police officer in Tomatlán, Jalisco, learning the inner workings of law enforcement.

After working as a cartel hitman and drug trafficker and surviving internal power struggles between rival gang factions in Jalisco, Oseguera ended up as the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, given the moniker “El Mencho”.

Its members routinely carry out brutal acts of violence to intimidate their rivals and have even been known to have downed an army helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade.

Claims were made that they would make new recruits to feast on human flesh and carry out beheadings in their infamous “terror schools”.

One anonymous recruit previously told the DailyBeast.com : “I’ve been there and there was a lot of [cannibalism]. They recruit them and then they start working on them.” First, CJNG members are taught how to cut off their victims’ fingers and toes, one of the cartel’s preferred torture methods.

The update from military sources on the death of El Mencho comes hours after panic erupted at a major airport after alleged cartel members reportedly descended on the terminal, with disturbing footage showing terrified crowds scrambling to escape.

Unverified accounts indicate members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel arrived at Guadalajara International Airport in Jalisco, Mexico mere hours after El Mencho was killed by military forces. It’s thought members are now mounting reprisals following confirmation of the killing.

Barry the St Bernard is living at a Cambridgeshire shelter waiting for someone to give him a loving family

A blind St Bernard with an extraordinary survival story is searching for a forever home. Barry, who has been blind since birth, is currently being looked after at a Cambridgeshire shelter..

It is run by Saving Saints, a volunteer-led rescue network operating across the UK. His carers say he is ready for a fresh start, but he needs the right home.

Barry was first owned by an organised crime boss, living alongside three other large dogs. The owner was jailed for drugs offences, leaving the dogs in limbo and needing new homes.

“At first it was thought Barry and the other St Bernard, Delilah, were a bonded pair,” said Rachel Wesley, 53, who runs Saving Saints. “But once they reached what was meant to be their forever home, it became clear Barry was struggling.”

Barry was reactive towards men, which rescuers believe may be because of trauma from his early life. He also became stressed and unhappy when living with another dog.

“He was getting grumpy and overwhelmed,” said Rachel. “That’s when we knew we had to step in and give him the calm, structured environment he desperately needed.”

Barry was moved into Saving Saints’ Cambridgeshire shelter, where he underwent a full behavioural assessment. The charity has now found that to thrive, Barry needs a quiet, rural, female-only home where he can be the only dog.

Although Barry is blind, his hearing is exceptionally acute and he is confident when navigating familiar spaces. As a double-coated breed, he enjoys spending time outdoors, but he is also deeply people-focused and needs strong bonds with his humans.

“St Bernards are incredibly sociable,” said Rachel. “Barry wants to be near his people, to know where they are, to feel safe. He may be blind, but emotionally he is very tuned in.”

Potential adopters have been told they need to understand the realities of owning a giant breed. St Bernards can weigh up to around 120kg, vet bills can be high, and their thick double coats require grooming every two days to prevent matting.

“They’re lazy most of the time, but they do have bursts of energy,” said Rachel. “They slobber, they shed everywhere, and yes, your carpets will never be the same. But what you get in return is a dog with an enormous heart.”

Rachel, who has four St Bernards of her own, says the breed’s emotional intelligence is unmatched. “They are the most amazing dogs,” she said. “They are so in tune with people’s emotions. They know when you’re sad, when you’re stressed, and they just want to be there.”

Saving Saints relies entirely on volunteers and foster homes. The charity is listed on the Pet Remedy rescue map, a gold-standard directory of trusted UK rescues, but keeping a dog like Barry in long-term care places significant strain on its resources.

“We’re small and we don’t have a lot of money,” said Rachel. “What Barry needs most is a loving home where he can finally relax and just be a dog. Wherever that home is, from the Isle of Skye to Cornwall, we’ll get him there.”

El Mencho, who was born Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes and was the leader of Mexico’s most feared criminal organisation, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) has been killed

A notorious cartel leader has been killed in a significant military operation in western Mexico.

The head of Mexico’s feared Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), “El Mencho”, was killed during the military raid, according to local news reports.

The ruthless drug lord, whose real name is Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, was recognised as the leader of the dreaded CJNG – with federal forces confirming his death today (February 22), reports the Mirror.

Mexican outlet MILENIO cited senior officials who confirmed Cervantes had been killed during the army operation. Roadblocks were reported across six neighbouring states, with burning vehicles obstructing roads over a vast area – a tactic frequently employed by cartels to hinder military forces from conducting operations against them.

El Mencho rose to become the most powerful drug lord in Mexico following the capture of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

The US State Department had previously offered a reward of up to $15million for information leading to El Mencho’s arrest.

The CJNG has undergone rapid expansion throughout Mexico in recent years, under the low-profile leadership of El Mencho.

Nemesio Oseguera, 53, left school in sixth grade to assist his family in harvesting avocados, according to Mexican media. As a young man, he entered the United States unlawfully and attempted to establish a network of clients as a drug dealer, before being arrested.

As a young man, he and his older brother, Abraham Oseguera, sold heroin to two undercover police officers in 1992 and were sent to a federal prison and later deported.

In 1997, he travelled to Tijuana, where he established a successful drug trafficking operation; subsequently, he served as a police officer in Tomatlán, Jalisco, gaining insight into the workings of law enforcement.

Following his time as a cartel assassin and narcotics trafficker, and after surviving internal conflicts between competing gang factions in Jalisco, Oseguera ultimately became leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, earning the nickname “El Mencho”.

Members of the organisation regularly commit savage acts of brutality to terrorise their adversaries and have even been known to bring down an army helicopter using a rocket-propelled grenade.

Allegations emerged that they would force new members to consume human flesh and participate in beheadings at their notorious “terror schools”.

One anonymous recruit previously told the DailyBeast.com: “I’ve been there and there was a lot of [cannibalism]. They recruit them and then they start working on them.”

Initially, CJNG members are instructed how to sever their victims’ fingers and toes, one of the cartel’s favoured torture techniques.

Hussain won Bake Off in 2015, before releasing serval cook books and starring in TV cooking shows, Nadiya Bakes, Nadiya’s Fast Flavours and Nadiya’s Simple Spices.

However, in June 2025, the celebrity chef told fans that the BBC had “decided they didn’t want to commission the show anymore”.

At the time, Hussain described the axing as a “huge turning point,” and now the axing has sparked a career change towards education.

Nadiya Hussain quits TV to become a teacher

Discussing the BBC axing with Woman & Home magazine, the Bake Off winner said: “The moment the BBC cancelled my show changed everything.

“I had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right because over the last 10 years, we’ve had a regimented timeline of when my cookbooks came out, and my cookery show would be filmed.

“We had the shoot dates pencilled in the diary, then I got a call from my agent saying, ‘The BBC doesn’t want to do the show any more’.

“I appreciate that it’s an industry, it’s a business and it’s about making money, but I still don’t know [why they let me go] because I haven’t had a conversation with anyone.

“There are no answers, no closure.”

Following the BBC’s decision, Hussain shared that other TV channels like ITV and Channel 4 had been in contact about a new series.

However, the chef said that working on a new series was “not something” she wanted to do at the time.

Instead, Hussain has stepped into a new career and is currently a teaching assistant, sharing: “I’m currently working as a teaching assistant at a lovely little primary school.

“The plan is to gain some training and maybe in the future become a teacher.

“I had to do an application form, an interview, go in and sit in with the kids, and see how they reacted to me.

“I did get people ringing me, asking, ‘Sorry, is this actually the Nadiya Hussain?’ and I’m like, ‘Yes, it is and I am looking for a job, and I would like an opportunity.’

“I’m really enjoying being in an environment where I’m not the centre of it.

“It’s weird because I’m having to straddle both worlds now, but I love that I’m a very small cog in a machine that helps raise other people’s children.

“I feel like this job is perfect for me. It’s my calling.”

At the time of the BBC’s decision to not renew Hussain’s TV series, a spokesperson for the broadcaster said: “After several wonderful series we have made the difficult decision not to commission another cookery show with Nadiya Hussain at the moment.”

“Nadiya remains a much-valued part of the BBC family, and we look forward to working together on future projects.”

Jessie Buckley’s Leading Actress win at the BAFTAs has sparked debate among fans

Cinema enthusiasts who watched the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday evening (February 22) found themselves frustrated, as they felt that one performer was “robbed”.

The Traitors US presenter Alan Cumming fronted the ceremony this weekend, which saw Hollywood and British cinema’s finest gathering at the Royal Festival Hall on London’s South Bank.

Thriller One Battle After Another dominated proceedings with 14 nominations this year, with vampire horror Sinners following closely behind on 13 nominations. Shakespearean drama Hamnet and sports comedy-drama Marty Supreme both received 11 mentions.

At the end of the night, it was announced that Irish actress Jessie Buckley had won the Leading Actress accolade for portraying William Shakespeare’s wife in Hamnet. However, numerous supporters were hoping that Australian star Rose Byrne would claim the honour, reports the Express.

The 46-year-old Sydney-born actress is the only nominee for her independent production, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. In the picture, Rose portrays Linda, a psychotherapist grappling with motherhood whilst caring for her daughter, who suffers from a paediatric feeding disorder.

The daughter, who never appears on screen, is portrayed by Delaney Quinn, with additional cast members including Conan O’Brien, A$AP Rocky, and Christian Slater. Critics have showered the film with acclaim since its debut last year, with many agreeing that Rose delivers “the performance of a lifetime”.

Whilst Jessie has been a favourite for the Leading Actress categories, supporters haven’t dismissed Rose, following her Golden Globe triumph last month. She has additionally secured numerous critics’ accolades and remains in contention for the SAG Award and the Oscar next month.

Numerous supporters were therefore disappointed that she didn’t receive the BAFTA, with one individual posting on X (formerly Twitter): “Love Jessie Buckley, but Rose Byrne was defo robbed.”

Meanwhile, others were thrilled to witness Jessie collect the award, with one individual posting: “Congratulations to Jessie Buckley winning the BAFTA for leading actress. Loved her inspiring acceptance speech.” Another audience member noted: “I am so pleased that Jessie Buckley has won a well-deserved BAFTA.”

This year’s BAFTAs delivered a massive surprise when British actor Robert Aramayo triumphed over Hollywood icons Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet in the Leading Actor category. Wunmi Mosaku and Sean Penn won the supporting categories earlier in the ceremony, whilst One Battle After Another claimed the prize for Best Film.

Student-led protests have taken place in Iran this weekend, coinciding with the start of the new university term and the 40th day of mourning for many of the thousands of people killed by security forces in early January.

Pro-and anti-regime activists protested at five universities in Tehran on Saturday, in some instances facing off against each other.

At the Ferdowsi University in Mashhad, Iran’s second city and birthplace of Ayatollah Khamenei, video shows a large gathering of anti-regime protestors chanting “so much crime all these years” and “death to this rule”.

These demonstrations are nowhere near the scale of the protests six weeks ago which saw uprisings in towns and cities across all Iran’s 31 provinces, but it is brave to be coming out at all given the authorities’ crackdown in January.

The numbers killed then are still unclear, but the US-based Human Rights Activists Agency (HRANA) says they have verified at least 7,015 fatalities and have thousands more cases under review.

The government has admitted to 3,117 deaths including around 200 security personnel. Donald Trump has said he believes 32,000 people were killed.

The 40th day is an important moment in the mourning process in Iran. During the revolution in 1979, 40th day commemorations became flashpoints for fresh protest, sparking renewed crackdowns and killings and further cycles of unrest. As a result, the Iranian regime has been wary of allowing mourners to gather for commemorative rituals.

Last week, clashes around the 40th day took place in Abdanan, a city near the border with Iraq. Videos show people chanting “death to Khamenei” as they remembered Alireza Seydi, a 16-year-old boy killed on January 8th. In another video from the city, the sound of gunfire echoes across the valley.

It is difficult to tell what exactly the response of the authorities has been to this latest unrest. Internet is back but it is patchy.

On Tuesday, the Ayatollah gave a speech saying some of those who took part in the January protests had been “naive and inexperienced” and were deceived by the rioters, but that they were still “part of us, they were our children”.

Given the US military build-up across the Middle East, the Iranian authorities appear not to want to provoke Donald Trump by being heavy-handed with protesters – but, instead, to focus minds on further negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme which they say could take place next week.

Pollsters asked about the way the devolved parliaments in Scotland and Wales worked with Westminster

Just over a third of Welsh people think devolution has been a good thing, according to polling released today. However, that 36% figure in Wales is higher than the 16% who believe the Westminster-based government has been a good thing for the nation.

The polling was conducted by More in Common on behalf of PolicyWISE between January 30 and February 10 with 806 people polled in Wales.

It asked questions about the way the devolved parliaments in Scotland and Wales worked with Westminster and almost all those polled said they wanted stronger cooperation between their governments and Westminster.

The polling found 95% of the public in Scotland and Wales wanted that.

Just 20% of people in Wales felt their devolved governments and Westminster worked well together. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here

This compared to the 68% in Wales who felt that their devolved governments and Westminster did not work well together now.

When Labour was elected into Government at a UK level in 2024, it promised a “partnership in power” between London and Cardiff.

In both countries, the public would prefer that the devolved government worked “much more closely” with the UK government on its top policy priority rather than “standing firm against the UK government”.

In Wales, 42% want closer working between the two administrations.

In both countries, Westminster is frequently perceived as acting “mainly as a government for England” (Scotland 43%, Wales 42%). Many, especially in Wales (52%), think Westminster is unclear when decisions affect only England.

When asked which two reserved issues (i.e. Westminster responsibility) required the UK Government to work most closely with the devolved governments, these were the answers for Wales:

Immigration: 37%

Energy policy: 31%

Trade: 25%

Relations with the EU: 24%

When asked which three issues the respective new devolved governments should focus on post elections, both nations identified the cost-of-living, supporting the NHS, and immigration.

When it comes to how the Welsh First Minister should approach the UK Government, 30% of respondents said they wanted Eluned Morgan to work constructively with Westminster – even if that meant compromise.

The village also has a strong sporting history, and there is evidence it was a Roman settlement.

A lovely Cambridgeshire village with a name that is hard to pronounce is full of posh period houses. There are many places in Cambridgeshire that have names that sound differently to how they should be pronounced.

One of these is the rural village of Great Wilbraham, located six miles from Cambridge. People may think it’s supposed to be pronounced as Great Wil-bra-ham, but it’s actually Great Will-brum.

Despite having a hard name to pronounce, the village boasts an impressive history. Its history dates back to the Bronze Age, but there is also evidence of Roman settlements.

The village appeared in the Domesday Book as Wilburgaham. The name is said to derive from the Anglo-Saxon princess Wilburh, the daughter or close family member of Penda King of the Mercians. She is portrayed on a village sign.

In the Middle Ages, the Knights Templar held the manor of Great Wilbraham. Their local headquarters were at Denny Abbey. The manor house is still known as ‘The Temple’ today. Within the grounds of the temple, the remains of a Roman villa were found.

Above it, a Middle Saxon burial ground was also found. Today, Great Wilbraham is a charming village home to around 600 people. Homes in the village range from around £300,000 to over £1 million.

The homes stand tall and grand along the roads. They are also hidden behind lots of greenery, providing plenty of privacy for all who live there. There is one pub in the village, called The Carpenter Arms.

The pub has served the village community for more than 250 years, with what it calls “genuine hospitality”. Visitors have praised it for its “beautiful” decorations and that it feels “really welcoming”. The pub is also dog-friendly.

There is also a Post Office, a shop and a well-used village hall. The village also has a strong sporting history, as it has a local football and cricket team.
