Lamine Yamal signs six-year Barcelona deal and gets iconic number as he faces probe over ‘hiring dwarfs for party'
LAMINE YAMAL was handed the iconic No10 shirt as he signed a new six-year Barcelona deal despite facing a probe over allegedly hiring dwarfs for his birthday party. The 18-year-old sensation has committed himself to the Nou Camp until 2031, having already won two LaLiga titles in Catalonia. 8 8 8 8 Yamal has smashed records with Barcelona after scoring 25 outings in 106 games. His tender age has not stopped the winger from mixing it with football's very best. And Yamal also has a Euros to his name after winning 20 caps for Spain. The left-footer has now been rewarded for his stunning few seasons with a lucrative new Barcelona contract. The deal will boost Yamal's wages and release clause while keeping him tied down to the Nou Camp for the next six years. As part of the deal, he has also been handed the iconic No10 shirt. Its former wearers include Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Diego Maradona. Rivaldo, Romario and Hristo Stoichkov also bore the coveted number on their jerseys. The No10 was finally free to Yamal to take following the exit of Ansu Fati to Monaco. Revealing his delight, the teen said: 'I think the renewal means I'll stay at the club of my life. Lamine Yamal faces government investigation after 'dwarfs are hired to perform at mafia-themed 18th birthday party' 8 8 8 8 'I'll continue enjoying myself and winning, because I'm at the best club in the world. 'I don't feel pressure, I'm at the best club in the world. Messi has made his way, I'm going to make mine, and the 10 comes from Ansu anyway. I'll try to make my way.' Fati's good news comes just days after he threw a controversial birthday party for turning 18. Footage on social media claims to show several dwarfs leaving his mafia-themed bash. This sparked concerns within Spain's government that they may have been exploited. And Yamal now faces an investigation, risking a potential fine of £876,000.

BBC's refusal to properly describe Hamas stems from its institutional anti-Israel bias
Beeb's bias EVEN after a run of avoidable scandals, senior BBC execs still don't get it. Yesterday they were dancing on the head of a pin over accepted editorial breaches in its Gaza documentary. 2 Viewers weren't told of any links between a 13-year-old Palestinian child narrator and his Hamas father. But in a video to all staff, the BBC claims the dad was only a member of the 'political wing'. Except it is British government policy that no such distinction exists. And to normal people outside Auntie's bubble, Hamas members are ALL terrorists. The BBC's refusal to properly describe those responsible for the October 7 massacre stems from its seemingly unending institutional anti-Israel bias. Viewers deserve the truth, not squirming excuses. Prevent what? THE Government's anti-terror Prevent strategy already focuses too much on tackling far-right terrorism — despite Islamists posing a greater threat. Now a report says it is also failing to deal with suspects fixated on violence because their views don't fit into any recognised terror ideology. 2 Southport monster Axel Rudakubana had repeatedly searched online for shootings, terror attacks and Gaza war videos. But despite three referrals, Prevent did nothing because he wasn't deemed a terrorist. Three little girls died. Ali Harbi Ali, who murdered MP David Amess, was let go after one session and described as a 'great person.' Those obsessed with extreme violence shouldn't need an ideological label attached to them before they're stopped. The clue to Prevent's role is in its name. Keep It Down WE hope the Chancellor took note of the fact that the painful inflation spike was caused in part by rising fuel prices. It's why Rachel Reeves should rule out any idea of ending the fuel duty freeze. That would only clobber the hard-working people the Government insists it wants to protect. The Sun's 15-year Keep It Down campaign has saved Brits almost £100billion which has been ploughed back into the economy by grateful motorists. Helping drivers also helps to drive growth, Chancellor. Whip round WE welcome Keir Starmer getting tough and suspending self-indulgent leftie MP s. It's just a pity he didn't act before their fantasy student politics derailed welfare reforms and cost the country £5billion. That dithering means we all now face paying more tax.

French police 'launch probe into Kylian Mbappe over £156,000 payments to officers'... with Real Madrid star 'ready to answer questions'
French police have reportedly launched a probe into payments made by Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe to officers, amid questions over whether the funds were for World Cup duties or personal protection. According to Le Canard Enchaine via Sport, a total of £156,330 (€180,300) was paid in June 2023 to five officers assigned to protect the French national team during that period. Four of them received £26,011 (€30,000) each, while a fifth was paid £52,278 (€60,300). The payments are believed to be linked to Mbappe's promise to donate his 2022 World Cup prize money to the security personnel who guarded the team throughout the tournament. The forward signed a document confirming this commitment and consulted his lawyer to ensure the donations would not be taxable for the recipients. However, authorities are investigating whether the payments were genuinely related to World Cup duties or were intended as personal protection for Mbappe. Attention is focused on one officer who accompanied the player on trips to Cameroon and Vaucluse in southern France in June 2023. Notably, while Mbappe was in Paris for a European qualifier against Greece, this officer was in Vaucluse, raising questions about the nature of his assignment. It is said that Police believe the officer 'breached his duty of integrity' by taking part in the two trips. Meanwhile, Mbappe has said he is 'ready to answer any questions' regarding the situation. These officers are members of the Republican Security Corps (CRS), a unit tasked with protecting the French national team during that time. This investigation comes amid Mbappe's ongoing dispute with former club PSG, with the forward currently seeking around £46million (€55m) in unpaid salary and bonuses he claims the club still owes him.
