Women praised for bravery by fire service boss
Two women who helped people escape separate fires have been given special commendations for their bravery.
Alice Chubb rescued a woman from her smoke-filled Sherborne home on 26 January, Dorset & Wiltshire Fire Service said.
Hannah Dowdall meanwhile, showed "calm determination" to get a neighbour to safety after a fire in Weymouth on 15 July, 2024.
They were both given awards by the fire service's chief fire officer, Andy Cole, at an annual ceremony at Tidworth Garrison Theatre.
Mr Cole said: "In both of these cases, members of the community have shown exceptional quick-thinking and courage, and I have no doubt that two lives were saved as a result."

007 First Light: Here's What James Bond Might Be Up to in His Next Game, Based Mostly on My Hopes and Dreams
More than 70 years after the character first appeared in the novel Casino Royale, James Bond is being reinvented yet again. The latest news comes from IO Interactive, makers of the Hitman games, who announced the title of its upcoming Bond game: 007 First Light, which will be shown off later this week. It has been an interesting year for Bond, with longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson handing creative control over to Amazon MGM Studios in February, and the studio hiring Amy Pascal and David Heyman as their effective replacements. And almost 30 years after the iconic GoldenEye 007 blended espionage elements into first-person shooter gameplay on the N64, we're getting a glimpse of the next incarnation of Bond video games, from a studio that has lots of experience with stealth and subterfuge. The website for First Light describes it as "a wholly original Bond origin story" that will be about Bond earning his 00 status. In Bond lore, agents are only granted 00 status after killing one (sometimes multiple) people as part of an assignment. But guessing that James Bond will have to shoot someone in an upcoming 007 game isn't exactly the boldest prediction. So, what should we expect Bond to be up to in this game? I own all of the Ian Fleming 007 novels and most of the movies and have seen every official Eon-produced Bond film. Based on that extensive experience and (moreso) the willingness to blindly gaze into a crystal ball, here's what I think we might see in First Light. Searching for a missing 007 After decades of books and movies following myriad incarnations of James Bond, a lot has already been explored, but one thing the movies haven't really touched is what happened to the previous 007. That point comes up in the plot of an Anthony Horowitz Bond novel, but is otherwise fresh territory for a game portraying Bond's origins. James inheriting the 007 designation after investigating the disappearance of his predecessor could add new layers of meaning and weight to the title. Discovering Spectre Spectre, the Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion organization, became a recurring antagonist in Fleming's later novels and a frequent presence in Connery films. It's basically a melting pot of criminal organizations from around the world, allowing for conveniently apolitical villainous agendas. Bond unraveling the threads that lead to MI6's first encounter with SPECTRE would be a fun way to nod to the character's history while still treading new ground. Uncovering MI6 corruption Bond himself is prone to going rogue, usually because he of course knows better than the official orders handed to him, so another possible angle is sending him to investigate possible traitorous activity inside his own organization. This could play nicely with the "earning 00 status" element, presenting Bond with situations where he's tasked with taking out former agents gone bad. IO Interactive has said that this will be an original incarnation of Bond -- no Connery, Craig, etc. look-alike. The title teaser shows us a silhouette of the character, but we should get our first proper look at the character in a few days.

For Timeless Elegance, Vogue Editors Love Liberowe's Feminine Tailoring
Photo: Courtesy of Liberowe If you were to ask Vogue executive shopping editor Libby Page's what her most worn item is, she'll quickly tell you it's Liberowe's tweed Raja jacket. 'You see a Raja jacket, and IYKYK, it's Liberowe. Discreet but noticeable, luxury but not overpriced, Talia Loubaton has perfected the art of the jacket (and since her launch in 2022 many other things),' Page says. 'If there is one thing you buy from this brand, let it be that, or in my case, don't by another–I currently have four in my rotation and have lost count of the many ways I have worn and styled them–with denim for a dinner with friends to a black kick-flare pant for the office. I put them on and immediately feel complete!' Senior shopping editor Talia Abbas feels similarly about her Liberowe jackets, which are all handmade in London from luxurious, responsibly-sourced fabrics, including deadstock. 'There is no jacket more special or cherished in my wardrobe right now,' she says. 'A perfect little black jacket, the Cora, is on my wish list right now.' Styling-wise, Abbas says she 'likes to balance out their femininity with something totally unexpected—as I believe Talia intended—like faded blue jeans and leather flip-flops.' Step inside Talia Loubaton's Liberowe, where each piece bridges past and present with her signature feminine meets masculine spin. Delicate dinner jackets find their match in mini hemlines and bare legs; ruffled cashmere cardigans soften wide-leg trousers, and floor-length tailored coats elevate the casual ease of jeans and a button-down. Vogue Shopping Insiders can enjoy any of these editor-loved pieces for 15% off, now through June 31.
