Celtic-daft Rod Stewart and his backing singers bring Paradise to Glastonbury as they rock out in Hoops gear
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELTIC-daft Rod Stewart and his sexy backing singers were in Paradise today - as they rocked the Glastonbury stage in Hoops gear. The 80-year-old rocker wore a green suit and shirt with 'Celtic' emblazoned on the back as he finished a sensational set on the Pyramid stage. 5 Rod Stewart finished his Glastonbury set wearing a shirt with Celtic on the back 5 And all his backing singers and band were decked out in the Hoops 5 And there were Celtic fans in the Glastonbury crowd too Just before they concluded a 90-minute set with 'We are Sailing', the backing group all put on Celtic shirts as the crowd went wild. He also welcomed Lulu, Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and Simply Red crooner Mick Hucknall for his Legends spot on the final day of Glasto. He opened the show by firing a veiled rebuke to pro-Palestine acts Kneecap and Bob Vylan after a day of shame on Saturday. Punk rap duo Bob Vylan led the crowd in a chant of 'death to the IDF', referencing the Israeli Defence Force, which was broadcast live on the BBC. And Kneecap fans jeered Rod Stewart's name after they namechecked him, called him 'Rod the Prod' and mocked 'He's older than Israel.' Asked if their fans were going to see Rod's show, the question was met by boos, which may have been a reaction to Rod saying he's is a big fan of Nigel Farage and the Reform Party. But the Celtic-daft crooner emerged to huge cheers for his star-studded Legends spot to pipers playing 'Scotland the Brave'. He told the fans: 'I'm here, enjoy yourselves ladies and gentlemen please.' In an apparent jibe towards the divisive performances of Saturday, he said: 'Music brings us together, we need music. 'There's been a lot about the Middle East lately, quite rightly so, but I want to draw your attention to the Ukraine with the next song, called The Love Train.' Nygren 'will be Hoops' best transfer this summer' plus Kuhn, Yamada latest | Celtic transfer special He kicked off his set with his hit Tonight I'm Yours before singing other hits like The First Cut is the Deepest. Rod duetted with Lulu on 'Hot Legs' and she quipped 'We'd make a great couple, sorry Penny' in reference to Rod's wife Penny Lancaster. Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart's former bandmate in the Faces, played the band's all-time classic Stay With Me. Rod caused controversy with an interview before the gig where he backed Reform. Asked where Britain's political future now lay, he told The Times earlier this week: 'It's hard for me because I'm extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn't really touch me. 5 This Celtic fan in the crowd was loving Rod's appearance 'But that doesn't mean I'm out of touch. For instance, I've read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn't made him popular. 'We're fed up with the Tories. We've got to give Farage a chance. He's coming across well. What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him.' 5 Asked what Mr Farage stands for aside from Brexit, tighter immigration and controversial economic promises he replied: 'Yeah, yeah. But Starmer's all about getting us out of Brexit and I don't know how he's going to do that. 'Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip.'

Tens of thousands flee Gaza City after Israel warns of major offensive
Tens of thousands of Palestinians were fleeing eastern parts of Gaza City, the major city in the north of the territory, on Sunday after Israel warned of a major offensive. The messages on social media from the Israel Defense Forces warned of 'military operations [that] will escalate, intensify, and extend westward to the city centre to destroy the capabilities of terrorist organisations' and directed those living in several crowded neighbourhoods to al-Mawasi, a coastal area much further south that is already overcrowded and has very limited facilities. Witnesses described scenes of chaos as entire families tried to pack their remaining belongings, tents and meagre stocks of foods on to donkey carts, bicycles, improvised pickup trucks and cars. Huge numbers of Palestinians displaced from homes or camps to the north of Gaza City moved there after renewed Israeli operations and clashes with Hamas since a fragile ceasefire collapsed in March. The warnings from Israel came after days of Israeli airstrikes and shelling across Gaza that have killed hundreds. Gaza's civil defence agency said 23 Palestinians had been killed on Sunday by Israeli strikes, including at least three children. Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for the agency, said two children were killed in a strike on their home in Zaytun, just to the east of Gaza City, in the early morning. A resident in nearby Jabalia, Ahmed Arar, 60, said his family's house was destroyed after they received a warning it would be bombed from a person identifying himself as an Israeli army officer. The Israeli military said it was not able to comment on the reported incidents but said it was fighting 'to dismantle Hamas military capabilities'. The 20-month war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack, during which militants killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 250. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 56,500 people in Gaza, again mostly civilians. There has also been rising concern over how aid is being distributed in Gaza. Hundreds of desperate Palestinians have been killed over the past month as they make their way to distribution sites and after gathering at points where they expect convoys of aid trucks will be forced to stop, local hospitals and officials have said. Sign up to First Thing Our US morning briefing breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion After claiming victory in the 12-day war against Iran that ended with a ceasefire on Tuesday, the Israeli military said it was focusing on the 'primary front' in Gaza, where Palestinian militants still hold 50 hostages, of whom more than half are thought to be dead. President Trump used social media on Sunday to call for a swift end to the war in Gaza. 'Make the deal in Gaza, get the hostages back,' Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, are continuing but without obvious sign of any breakthrough. Many analysts say only direct pressure from Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will bring about a new ceasefire as neither Israel nor Hamas currently look likely to make the necessary concessions.

Trump considers forcing journalists to reveal sources who leaked Iran report
Donald Trump said he is weighing forcing journalists who published leaked details from a US intelligence report assessing the impact of the recent American military strikes on Iran to reveal their sources – and the president also claimed his administration may prosecute those reporters and sources if they don't comply. In an interview Sunday with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Trump doubled down on his claim that the 21 June airstrikes aimed at certain Iranian facilities successfully crippled Iran's nuclear weapons program. He insisted the attacks destroyed key enriched uranium stockpiles, despite Iranian assertions that the material had been relocated before the strikes. Trump dismissed the leaked intelligence assessment in question – which suggested the strikes only temporarily disrupted Iran's nuclear development – as incomplete and biased. The report, circulated among US lawmakers and intelligence officials, concluded that the damage inflicted was significantly less than what Trump's administration had publicly claimed. The president has attacked both Democratic lawmakers and members of the media for sharing portions of the classified analysis. He then threatened legal consequences for those responsible. During the interview, Bartiromo referenced a post Trump had shared on social media days earlier, in which he wrote: 'The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!' Trump then reiterated on-air that 'they should be prosecuted'. 'Who specifically?' Bartiromo asked. Trump replied: 'You can find out – if they wanted, they could find out easily.' In recent days, Trump has targeted CNN and The New York Times for their reporting on the strikes. He has condemned the coverage as 'unpatriotic' and even floated the possibility of legal action. The two outlets, along with several others, reported that preliminary findings from the US's Defense Intelligence Agency indicated the strikes had only limited success. The bombings delayed Iran's nuclear ambitions by several months but stopped short of destroying the program outright, according to the assessment. On Sunday, a social media account belonging to the Iranian leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accused Trump of needing to 'exaggerate to cover up the truth and keep it secret' after the recent US military strikes 'could not do anything'. Trump, in contrast, has repeatedly insisted that three nuclear facilities were 'obliterated'. He elaborated on how his administration might pursue the sources of the leak. 'You go up and tell the reporter, 'national security – who gave it?'' Trump said. 'You have to do that. And I suspect we'll be doing things like that.' In the US, the constitution generally protects journalists from being compelled to reveal their sources – but there are limits to that reporter's privilege, as it is colloquially known. The president had threatened to sue CNN and the New York Times for publishing articles about the preliminary intelligence report ahead of his comments to Bartiromo. In a letter to the Times, a lawyer for Trump said the article had damaged the president's reputation and demanded that the outlet 'retract and apologize for' the piece, which the letter described as 'false,' 'defamatory' and 'unpatriotic'.
