The island where marauding goats are a bigger threat than its volcano
The hardy inhabitants of Stromboli have stuck it out for centuries, caring for their olive groves and caper plants even though their tiny island is one large, very active volcano rising out of the Mediterranean Sea. But if lava flows and flying boulders have not deterred them, a new adversary that is said to do far more damage than the volcano is persuading some residents that it is time to leave. 'My family has been here since the 17th century, but if the goats continue to multiply I'm abandoning Stromboli,' said Gianluca Giuffre, a local shopkeeper. Stromboli is the latest island in the Aeolian chain north of Sicily where man is facing off against wild goats, and the goats are winning. As on neighbouring Alicudi , an expanding army of animals on Stromboli is devouring vegetation, reducing ancient stone terracing to rubble, entering homes and even attacking people.

Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, looks bored on yacht with Vittoria Ceretti, 27... after reflecting on middle-aged dating
Leonardo DiCaprio looked unimpressed as he whiled away another day at sea with girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti in Ibiza recently. The Oscar-winner, who recently made rare remarks about dating at 50, cut a bored figure as he sat on the deck of a luxury yacht with a towel wrapped around his waist. DiCaprio stared into the distance in a moment of quiet contemplation after enjoying a dip with supermodel love Ceretti, 27. The star showed off his weight loss in a pair of blue swimming trunks as he relaxed at sea - while Ceretti flashed her posterior in a thong bikini. She showed off her toned frame in the tiny two-piece which she teamed with a baseball cap. The actor recently made rare comments about his dating life — which has often garnered public attention. The Oscar-winner, who recently made rare remarks about dating at 50 , cut a bored figure as he sat on the deck of a luxury yacht with a towel wrapped around his waist Ceretti flashed her posterior in a thong bikini as she enjoyed a dip in the sea During an interview for Esquire UK for its Autumn issue, the Hollywood star insisted there is 'no time to waste' dating at his age as he says he has to be honest in relationships and risk losing his partner. Reflecting on dating as an older man, the actor — who has been criticized for only having relationships with models in their twenties — said sometimes things 'fall apart' when he is blunt about what he wants. DiCaprio further talked about how there is 'much more life behind him now' than there is ahead of him as he discussed is expectations for the coming decades. The Revenant star has been linked to Ceretti since August 2023 but prior to their relationship, in 2022 he famously split from Camila Morrone after five years together just a month after she turned 25. Speaking in the unfiltered interview, DiCaprio said: 'Turning 50 creates a feeling like you have a desire to just be more honest and not waste your time. 'I can only imagine how the next few decades are going to progress. I look at my mother, for example, and she just says exactly what she thinks and wastes no time. She spends no time trying to fake it.' Detailing the importance of saying exactly how you feel, he explained: 'Being more upfront and risking having things fall apart or risking the disagreements or risking going your separate ways from any type of relationship in life. 'The personal, the professional — it's that you don't want to waste your time any more. The star showed off his weight loss in a pair of blue swimming trunks The model showed off her lithe frame on the day Ceretti put on a cheeky display on the beach in Ibiza 'You have to just be much more upfront. It's almost a responsibility, because much more of your life is behind you than it is ahead of you.' DiCaprio has always hit headlines with his relationships, famously dating model Gisele Bundchen for five years starting when she was 18, to a five-year romance with Bar Refaeli that ended when she turned 25. The Hollywood star had also been linked to Gigi Hadid after they fueled romance speculation in September 2022. He was first linked to the model just weeks after his split from then-girlfriend Camila Morrone. But rumors were quickly squashed in February 2023, as a source told Daily Mail, 'Leo is very single right now and he is not keen on the hype suggesting that he is seeking out these very young women.' The insider continued: 'He is looking for something more mature in the relationship department. It is just ridiculous because he cannot go anywhere without being linked to the youngest beautiful woman there.' 'He wants to ditch this image once and for all and he is really bothered that this continues to follow him,' they added. For years now, DiCaprio has found himself the butt of many a dating joke - as well as facing furious backlash over his apparent refusal to woo a woman who was over the age of 25. The furious speculation about his dating habits has been given much fuel over the years. DiCaprio split with Camila just weeks after she hit the 25 milestone - and was then photographed with a bevy of young models, including 25-year-old Victoria Lamas and 19-year-old Eden Polani. He also faced bitter backlash over the alleged romance with Eden - who is 29 years his junior - prompting an insider to issue a vehement denial that there was anything romantic between them. 'They were seated next to each other at a music-listening party,' the insider told Daily Mail at the time. 'There were a number of people at that event.'

Ceretti was previously married from 2020 until 2023 to the Italian DJ Matteo Milleri, who is part of the Berlin-based duo Tale of Us.

Stacey Solomon hits back as fans call her 'smug' after luxury £1000 a night holiday
Loose Women star Stacey Solomon has hit back at fans who have labelled her as 'smug' after her £1000 a night family holiday with Joe Swash and her five children Stacey Solomon left Pickle Cottage behind to enjoy a much-needed break with her family, soaking up the sunshine and looking incredibly toned, with husband Joe Swash and five children, Zachary, 17, Leighton, 12, Rex, 5, Rose, 3, and Belle, 2. The 35-year-old let her followers in on her latest summer break at the swanky £1,000-per-night Regnum Carya hotel in Turkey. The luxury hotel is one of the top-ranked all-inclusive Resort Hotels located on the Mediterranean coast in Turkey. The lavish villa options give guests the option to plump for luxury villas with private pools, swim-up rooms, family rooms, suite rooms, and more. While in Turkey, Stacey made some rather unexpected friends while on holiday in the form of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury as she documented her family getaway. It comes after Stacey said she was 'so proud' after unveiling her impressive body transformation in a tiny bikini. However, Stacey's trip has been tainted since returning home after some social media users have slammed her family as 'smug' for going on such a luxurious getaway. Stacey has since clapped back at critics who slammed her recent luxury holiday as a 'freebie'. The TV star triggered a flurry of online backlash after posting sun-soaked photos from a lavish resort in Antalya, calling it her 'second home' in a cheerful Instagram update. Despite this, not everyone was impressed as one commenter wrote: 'So another well subsidised holiday for the entire family. It makes me throw up." Others chimed in with: 'The seriously smug family,' and simply: 'Annoying family.' After returning to the UK, Stacey took to her Instagram stories to firmly shut down the speculation. "Now we're going home I've tagged the hotel for all of you asking and I'll share my little 'spend the day with us' and show you around everywhere,' she said. Clearing things up, she continued: "This is the third time I've come back here. This wasn't a free holiday. I just love this place so much and think it deserves the BEST reviews and tags ever because it's just incredible. "It is very expensive. I do think it is worth every penny and more for what it has to offer," she added. Stacey wasn't the only celeb who chose that location for her family holiday as Molly Mae, Tommy, and their 2-year-old daughter Bambi also headed to Turkey for some sun. The mum-of-five told her followers that she spent the first part of her family holiday with the influencer family and stated that she 'fell in love' with them after bumping into them at dinner one evening. Taking to her Instagram and sharing a sweet selfie with the Maebe founder, Stacey was all smiles as she wrote: 'Got to spend the first part of our holiday with @mollymae, @tommyfury & Bambi. Bumped into them at dinner one night and fell in love.' Stacey continued and revealed that she had even asked the family to visit their home. She added: 'Genuinely the nicest, most down to earth family. And Bambi omg I can't. "Just the most kind hearted little one. Rose was gutted when she left! Can't wait for them to come to Pickle Cottage'. Another picture showed her two older sons posing up a storm next to boxer Tommy Fury. The boys sweetly clenched their hands into fists for the photo as Stacey wrote: 'boys were buzzing'.
