Popular ice cream parlour's 'alternative' to viral M&S sandwich
The £2.80 'game-changing' limited edition Red Diamond Strawberry & Creme Sandwich is filled with the fruit and light whipped cream cheese on fluffy sweetened bread, the retailer said.
M&S said its latest creation was inspired by Japanese 'sweet sandos', or fruit sandwiches.

Milk Maids has created a strawberries and cream milk bun, which it showcased on its social media platforms this weekend.
The bun, which customers can customise with their own ice cream flavours, is already selling out fast.
Taking to social media, the business posted: 'POV: you can't get your hands on the viral M&S strawberry sando, so you go to Milk Maids for a strawberries and cream milk bun instead.'

A milk bun is a type of soft, slightly sweet bread roll made with milk, typically featuring a golden-brown crust and a fluffy, white interior.
Speaking to The Bolton News, Milk Maids manager Polly Owen said: "We saw that M&S did it and the sandwich was trending, we wanted to do something similar.
"We always have summer milk buns, they're really popular because they're customisable with our ice cream flavours - plus, there's the added bonus of melted chocolate on top!"
The delicious creation also features Milk Maids' signature award-winning, handcrafted gelato ice cream, made with fresh ingredients and milk from grass-fed cows.
Milk Maids, which is based at Dearden's Farm in Over Hulton, has gained immense popularity with residents and has remained in the Partington family since 1955.
The multi-award-winning store is currently run by Fiona Partington and her sister, Rebecca Partington, alongside a close-knit team of 10, as well as her parents Anne-Marie and Michael.

Ibrahima Konate closer to STAYING at Liverpool
Liverpool have got a contract problem to solve with . The Frenchman is out of contract in 2026 - and the club have so far had little success in tying him down to a new deal. Having seen the 26-year-old establish himself as Virgil van Dijk's preferred partner in their 2024/25 Premier League-winning season, the Reds will be gutted to lose him on a free next year. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! That has led to speculation that we could see the France international on the move this summer instead - provided Liverpool's asking fee is met. Media reports have suggested that the club would settle for a deal for anything between £35m and £50m - although there are no guarantees that Richard Hughes would cash in. Madrid tell Alonso: No more signings One more season of Konate - regardless of his future intentions - may well be the most sensible option unless Marc Guehi can be brought on board during the current window. - with Los Blancos previously reported to be willing to buy Konate this summer. However it looks like Los Blancos' tune has changed. According to a new report in Defensa Central, president Florentino Perez and technical director Jose Angel Sanchez have informed coach Xabi Alonso that there will be NO more transfers this summer. Madrid bid for Konate ruled out It means a bid for Konate can be ruled out - taking one of the main suitors for Konate off the table. Liverpool went through practically all of last season with contract doubts over Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold. While Trent turned his back on his hometown club and joined Madrid, Liverpool convinced Salah and Van Dijk to remain at the club for two more years. Indeed at one stage it appeared Salah was more out than in but Arne Slot's title-winning team is evidence enough for the Egyptian King that Liverpool are going places. © IMAGO Can Liverpool convince Konate to stay? And so while it might right now seem that Konate is on his way to Real Madrid as a replacement for either Antonio Rudiger or David Alaba in 2026, a lot can happen between now and January. By that stage he will be available to talk to overseas clubs about a free transfer - and no doubt Madrid will be in the mix. But if Liverpool get off to a great start - reaffirming their status as the best club in the Premier League - then Konate could ultimately be persuaded to stay. The move this summer now appears off the table - and Liverpool have a second chance to convince their stopper that his future lies on Merseyside.

EuroMillions winning numbers for record-breaking prize revealed
The winning numbers for tonight's £210 million EuroMillions jackpot have been revealed. The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers are 24, 31, 34, 41 and 43. The lucky numbers are 06 and 08 . A single EuroMillions player could become the UK's record-making National Lottery winner if the prize is claimed. The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it has reached 250 million Euros – an estimated £210 million. If there are no winners on Tuesday, it will now stay at 250 million Euros for a further four draws until it must be won in the fifth draw. In the 'Must Be Won' draw, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the jackpot prize will roll down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner – likely to be five main numbers and one Lucky Star. A single UK winner would instantly become the nation's largest-ever National Lottery winner. They would knock into second place the anonymous winner of a £195 million prize in 2022. It follows an Irish family syndicate claiming a EuroMillions jackpot worth 250 million euros (£216 million) on June 17. The jackpot had reached the maximum amount on 6 June after rolling over several times. Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, said: 'Tuesday's jackpot has the ability to transform not just the winner's life, but the life of the friends and family around them. 'So, make sure you get a ticket to be in with a chance of banking Britain's biggest ever win.'

Wall Street falls further from its records as Nvidia, Palantir and other AI stars dim
Wall Street faded on Tuesday following drops for Nvidia and other stars that have been riding the mania surrounding artificial-intelligence technology. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% for a third straight loss, though it remains near its all-time high set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 10 points, or less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite slumped 1.5%. The heaviest weight on the market was Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the move into AI. It sank 3.5%. Another AI darling, Palantir Technologies, dropped 9.4% for the largest loss in the S&P 500. It's seen bets build up sharply that its stock price will drop, according to S3 Partners. Only Meta Platforms has seen a bigger increase this year in what's called 'short interest,' where traders essentially bet a stock's price will fall. Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, sank 2.1%. Criticism has been rising that stock prices across Wall Street have shot too high, too fast since hitting a bottom in April and have become too expensive. Palantir's stock came into Tuesday with a tremendous gain of 130% for the year so far. One way companies can make their stock prices look less expensive is to deliver growth in profits. Palo Alto Networks rose 3.1% after reporting earnings and revenue for the latest quarter that topped analysts' expectations. The cybersecurity company also gave forecasts for profit and revenue in its upcoming fiscal year that were above Wall Street's. Home Depot's gain of 3.2%, meanwhile, was the biggest reason the Dow did better than other indexes. The retailer reported results for the latest quarter that were a bit short of what analysts expected, but it delivered growth in revenue and stood by its prior forecasts for revenue and profit over the full year. Other big retailers will give their latest profit updates in coming days. Lowe's and Target are on deck for Wednesday, while Walmart and Ross Stores will report on Thursday. The week's headliner for Wall Street is likely arriving on Friday. That's when the chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, will give a highly anticipated speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The setting has been home to big policy announcements from the Fed in the past, and the hope on Wall Street is that Powell may hint that cuts to interest rates are coming soon. The Fed has kept its main interest rate steady this year, primarily because of the fear of the possibility that President Donald Trump's tariffs could push inflation higher. But a surprisingly weak report on job growth across the country may be superseding that. Traders on Wall Street widely expect the Fed to cut interest rates at its next meeting in September in order to give the economy a boost. Treasury yields have come down notably in the bond market as a result, and they eased on Tuesday. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.30% from 4.34% late Monday. Strategists at Bank of America warn that Powell may not sound as inclined to cut interest rates as the market is expecting. He could remain non-committal and discuss the possibility of a worst-case scenario for the economy called 'stagflation.' The Fed has no good tool to fix that situation, where the economy stagnates at the same time as inflation remains high. On Wall Street, Viking Therapeutics tumbled 42.1% after the biopharmaceutical company released results from a clinical trial of an oral tablet that could treat obesity and other metabolic disorders. Tegna rose 4.3% after Nexstar Media Group said it will buy the owner of 64 television stations across the country for $22 per share in cash. Nexstar, which owns the CW and local television broadcasters of its own, added 0.7%. All told, the S&P 500 fell 37.78 points to 6,411.37. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 10.45 to 44,922.27, and the Nasdaq composite fell 314.82 to 21,314.95. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose in Europe after falling modestly in Asia. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index slipped 0.4% as market heavyweight SoftBank Group Corp. fell 4% after it announced it was taking a $2 billion stake in U.S. chip maker Intel. Intel climbed 7%. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also confirmed in an interview on CNBC that the Trump administration may take an ownership stake in Intel. Choe writes for the Associated Press.
