Girl, 14, raped in city centre park just minutes after meeting man, 43, outside Wetherspoons pub, court hears
A 43-YEAR-OLD man raped and sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in a city park, a court has heard. Nicholas Foreman, from Dorset, allegedly attacked the youngster shortly after meeting her outside of a Wetherspoons. 1 The pair allegedly met outside the Standing Order Wetherspoon in Southampton, on the evening of February 15. After that, they reportedly went to Houndwell Park where she was attacked at around 10.30pm. Charles Gabb, prosecuting, told Winchester Crown Court that the Foreman felt that "temptation that she presented to him, he was just unable to resist, and he embraced that temptation with gusto". He added: "Just 26 minutes it took from the very first time that these two have ever clapped eyes on each other to the time the deeds had been done." Foreman faces eight charges in total, three of which are for rape. An additional charge of sexual assault has been levied against him, along with four alternative charges of sexual activity with a child. According to Mr Gabb, the girl made excuses to get away from the defendant. He added that police eventually raced to the scene when members of the public raised concerns about the girl's "distressed" state. The prosecutor said that Foreman told police that he believed the youngster was aged over 18 and that she had consented to the sexual act. Mr Gabb said: "He then subsequently maintained to state that she had instigated everything, therefore shifting the responsibility to this child away from him, effectively saying she started it."

33 Kitchen Items Reviewers Confirm Are Worth The Money
A Carote pots and pans set that doesn't take too much negotiation to earn a space in your cabinet because you can nest the pots inside each other and just attach the detachable handle to the pot you need at the time. Pretty nifty! Promising review: "I LOVE these pots and pans. My boyfriend tells me that I have too many, but I will literally wash one of these and reuse it before I use one of my other ones. I've had these for about 3-4 weeks now, and I haven't used another pot or pan since! They are my favorite and definitely worth the money. They are truly nonstick. Love how easily they stack together since you can take the handles off. I would say the only downfall is the silicone lids. They are nice, but I made chili in the bigger pot one night and the sauce kind of stained the lid, but after a couple of washes it eventually came off!" —SaraGet it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in nine sets and in seven colors). An electric can opener that'll hold the can for you and with one smooth touch, open that can up so that you can enjoy your can of Campbell's with zero frustration. Mmmm mmm good. 😋 Promising review: "This was so easy to use that I actually didn't even realize it was working. I thought it wasn't working because it just went in a circle so fast with no effort. It took me a few minutes to realize it had already opened the can. It did it so smoothly I hadn't even noticed the can open. Life changer!!!!!!!! And no rough edge. No danger!! Sooo worth it!!! So easy to use. The only regret I have is not purchasing this sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every household needs this." —Nicole32Get it from Amazon for $35.28. A butter-storing mushroom — with a bit of cold water and a pinch of salt in the base, you can have fresh and soft butter whenever you need it *without* refrigeration. This cute toadstool can sit right on the counter for ready-to-spread butter for up to a month. A George Foreman grill — a blast from the past that's still remarkably practical and explains why our parents all had one in the '90s. This grill has a drip catcher that holds all the grease that drains from your burgers and other foods while cooking, to leave you with even less of a mess! Promising review: "So they say four burgers, however, I like bigger burgers, so only two will fit. This is okay because it is an easy size to store. Best of all are the removable plates that can go in the dishwasher. We have a large Foreman grill, and it is sized for up to 6 burgers. It works well; however, cleanup is a pain. In the end, I like this newer unit for cooking just a few burgers or hot dogs, and cleanup is so much easier. CAUTION: When you remove the cooking plates, the heating elements are exposed! Make sure the unit is cooled down before removing the plates. It gets used very often and works as I had hoped. Definitely worth the price." —Fix-it-JimGet it from Amazon for $41.99. A Nespresso Pop that's a single-serve coffee machine reviewers say will be the device to have you nip your coffee run habit right in the bud. And the coffee capsules are recyclable, too! Promising review: "This is so good and so worth it. I bought it on sale, but it was still relatively expensive. However, it is definitely worth it; the taste is amazing, the design makes it very easy and functional, it is durable, and finally, it does not leak. I still have not downloaded the app, so I am unable to control the coffee template, but for my iced espresso, it is perfect!" —Wesley DanielGet it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in five colors) or Nespresso for $129.99 (available in 12 colors). A double breakfast-sandwich maker, because yes, one would probably take up less space, but you know you're gonna want another, so let's not pretend. Or, you can make two because you know your partner is going to see how good yours looks, and instead of sharing, you can hand them their own. Promising reviews: "I bought this a few months ago, and it's worth every penny. I use this several times a week. It's quick, convenient, and easy to clean. You can come up with all kinds of different toppings and cheeses that you can't get at the drive-thru places, and it doesn't take up too much counter space. You won't be disappointed." —Jennifer"My husband loves a great breakfast sandwich. This was fun, and quick, and gave us lots of yummy ideas. The quality was actually amazing and really elevated breakfast and lunch. High performance at a super cheap price, well worth it, and will be buying more for gifts. It's quick to clean and stores easily away. The plates are of great quality, and they're super stable. My kids love it for a quick meal on the run." —Michelle JurichGet it from Amazon for $54.45.

Will be buying sets for the whole family during the holidays!" —Jim"I really liked these colorful, different-sized covers for lids, veggies, and don't take up much room, which is important to me, and are worth purchasing for endless uses. Throw them in the dishwasher; they can withstand rough handling and teens. Highly rate these handy kitchen helpers!" —Polly SimmonsGet it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in five color sets).

This gadget will turn your frozen fruit into a delicious soft serve. Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my mom and ended up buying one for myself! I love this! It's so easy to make frozen desserts. I like to add Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and granola to my frozen banana and blueberry dessert to make it fiber and protein-packed. It's like an acai bowl. So easy to make, and the consistency makes it taste like frozen yogurt. My mom and I both like the mangonada Mexican frozen desserts, so I bought her frozen mango, Tajin, and chamoy sauce, and she makes her own now! I bought myself the teal and the coral for my mom. For only $40-$50, it was definitely worth the price. If you like frozen desserts but don't want all the added sugar of ice cream, this is so worth it!" —KhGet it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in four colors). A rotating 2-in-1 colander and washing basket for one of those ~why didn't I think of this sooner~ buys. It has a handle and simply rotates to drain the water while holding your food in place.

Read our Instant Pot review for more deets!Promising reviews: "This thing is great! I bought it to cook dried beans fast, and it does. A process that required eight hours of soaking and two hours of boiling now takes half an hour. The unit is also easy to clean. Plus, it has a whole bunch of cooking modes in addition to pressure cooking. The sauté feature makes it easy to sauté the food in the same pot that you pressure cook in, so it reduces the number of pots and pans you need to cook your meal." —S. Coffrey"Totally worth it! I use my Instant Pot each and every day. Once you learn the instructions, just brief lessons, on YouTube, it is my main cooking appliance." —CMedleyGet it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes). A Ninja 2-in-1 toaster flip that's pretty much the perfect kitchen essential because it can not only toast your bagels and pop tarts, but you can flip it down and it's an oven capable of baking, broiling, or reheating your favorite snacks. Might I suggest some chicken nuggies? Promising reviews: "We bought this to make more space on our counter. We still wanted the option to use a toaster oven for certain things, and this toaster does not disappoint! Sleek and functional and space-saving, and easy to clean! Worth the $$$!" —Mnisha"I had my eye on this for a while, but thought the price was a bit steep. When my toaster broke, I decided to purchase it. So far, I'm very happy! The toaster makes evenly toasted bread and bagels. I love that I have the option to use the toaster oven, and it is also multifunctional. I made s'mores and used the broil feature, and I think they came out perfectly!" —Michelle GramsGet it from Amazon for $119.99. A steel wok made from blue carbon steel that retains heat, seasoning, and has the slick properties of a cast-iron skillet. It's perfect for creating delicious stir-fry and deep-fried veggies.

A garbage disposal cleaner, because that mysterious odor in your kitchen is probably coming from the drain. If you're a fan of horror films, you probably have no interest in reaching your hand into the beyond in order to scrub it. This cleaning packet will do ALL the work for you. Just sit back and marvel. Promising review: "Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, in my naïve thinking, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. Little did I know that there was an actual cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. So of course, I had to try it. Very simple instructions: it literally takes five minutes and some hot water, and VOILÀ! You have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Let me say that anytime I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of those packs in the disposal, and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling through the sink was amusing to watch ;-). Worth every penny!" —VadersGirlGet four from Amazon for $3.78+ (available in four pack sizes). A rapid egg cooker so you can boil, poach, scramble, or even make an omelet super quick. Now, you can finally fit breakfast into your morning routine. Picture-perfect eggs every time, just look at the pictures below. 👇🏽 Promising reviews: "This little device speeds up cooking of soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs by at least 10 minutes because I don't have to wait for water to boil in a pot first. Water starts steaming very quickly. The alarm isn't super loud either. Put the eggs in an ice bath afterwards, and they peel easily. Comes with a measuring cup that also has a pin on the bottom to puncture the eggs before cooking. Excellent instructions, too. It also makes poached and small omelets too." —D.G."This is the best kitchen appliance I have bought in a long time! Super easy and quick to use. I have a busy schedule, and I make egg salad a LOT to take with saves me SO much time and effort. Set it and forget it, but the super loud continuous buzzer/alarm will NOT let you forget it, which is a nice safety design. Takes exactly 16 minutes to boil eggs, and they are perfect. They're also REALLY easy to peel! I've never peeled eggs so easily before. Huge plus that I hadn't even considered. This little contraption is also pretty small and stores easily. Even if you only boil eggs once in a while, it's worth it!" —Jaime BGet it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors).Check out our Dash rapid egg cooker review for more deets! A crepe maker in case you've constantly tried to make those buttery, thin, flaky sheets of utter goodness only to be left with a burnt paper-like bready structure. It stops today! Promising reviews: "This thing is great. You can cook a pile of crepes in half the time it takes using a large pan or griddle, and it's way easier. They're perfectly sized and shaped, too." —MixedProducts"My kids love crepes, and I debated a lot if this would be worth it or not — 100% worth it! Makes crepe-making so easy! I taught my kids, so now they can make their own. So happy I took a chance on it and got it!" —JenGet it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in seven colors). A 4-in-1 chopper, spiralizer, dicer and slicer ideal for meal prepping. You can chop onions and nuts, mince herbs, or spiralize zucchini. And it's compact, which makes it a great addition to kitchens with little to no counter space. Promising review: "What a time saver. I made pico de gallo in a couple of minutes. As for the cilantro, I placed 1/2 a jalapeno on the blades, then cilantro. Chopped beautifully. Works very well, well worth the $$." —Yvette GarzaGet it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). A set of collapsible silicone microwave to-go containers, thin enough so you can keep one in your everyday bag and be ready to take home leftovers when your boss buys lunch for the entire office and there's still a lot of food left at the end of the day. A trio pan that'll let you try out three different lasagna recipes at one time. This is an excellent find for people who like to meal prep for the week. Promising reviews: "I love the ability to make three different types of lasagnas since I have three picky eaters. I have also used this to make three different types of cakes as well. It is so worth the money if you plan on making different dishes or just have a family of picky eaters." —Mmperry"There's nothing but good coming from this pan! Yummy crunchy edges on every piece! I made three different kinds of lasagna in this pan, and all I can say is that there were already plans for the next batch before this one was gone! This pan is heavy-duty, has an awesome nonstick coating, and will definitely stand up to much use. The recipe called for spraying the pan with nonstick spray, but it was completely unnecessary. I've already suggested this pan to others." —sreneeGet it from Amazon for $19.49. A ~Guac-Lock~ container that squeezes ALL the air out of your dip to keep it tasty and fresh (and green instead of brown) even longer. Promising reviews: "The Guac-Lock is absolutely amazing. It does everything it claims. I've had guacamole unopened for four days in it, and when I opened it up, it looked as fresh as the day I had made it and, more importantly, tasted just as fresh. This product may be a bit on the pricy side, but if you are a guacamole connoisseur and make it on a regular basis and don't like wasting it, this is a no-brainer. It will save every savory, delectable bite for consumption. I couldn't recommend this product more." —Aaron Clark"It works! Keeps your guac fresh for days.

A pre-seasoned Lodge cast-iron skillet, a must-have kitchen staple that'll pretty much make everything you cook taste better. Promising review: "I used this straight out of the box to cook two pieces of chicken breast. I used olive oil and butter to prevent any sticking and to further season the skillet. I did not notice any sticking to the skillet. After I seared both sides of the chicken, I then let it finish in the oven at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. All I can say is wow! I love this skillet already, and this is my first time using it! I'd never used anything comparable to a cast-iron skillet. Never again am I going back to frying chicken, or any meat for that matter, in a regular pan. This was well worth the investment. If you're looking at this, just buy it." —EricGet it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in nine sizes). A useful and chic 17-piece knife set encased in an acrylic block that'll make you look like one of the cooking elite.

And when you're done cooking, the glass cooking dish is also your Tupperware *with* lid. It got 5 stars from me and them. ⬇️ Promising reviews: "It was time to replace my old, tired air fryer. I love several other Ninja kitchen appliances, so Ninja was the first company I looked at. That's where I found the Ninja Crispi. I was intrigued by the glass cooking compartment and its unique design. It air fries my frozen fries and tater tots evenly. I also air-fried three boneless pork chops for 15 minutes, which were so juicy and perfectly cooked! The glass cooking compartment is a breeze to clean, too. I could not be more pleased with this air fryer!" —Babs"Absolutely love this machine!! Easy to use, versatile, and easy to clean. Worth every penny." —AvonnaGet it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in six colors). A pair of herb scissors that'll make Taco Tuesday prep even easier with its five blades ready to chop up extra cilantro and scallions. Promising reviews: "I've recently tried growing some herbs on my patio and have loved using herbs in cooking. These make life so much easier. After I clean my herbs, these scissors make it easy to quickly cut them into small pieces. The design is brilliant. The plastic cover helps get herb pieces off the scissors, so there's no waste. It's easy to wash, too." —Lori"Wow, you will not regret this purchase. It's one of those you don't think you need, but YOU REALLY DO NEED IT. Just like those slap choppers, if it saves that much time, it's worth the investment." —KristinH515Get it from Amazon for $9.99. A cleverly designed 3-in-1 gap cleaning brush perfect for deep cleaning items that have very tiny nooks and crannies that you can't get to with a regular sponge or dish rag.

Easily access to your daily go-tos without having to move the ketchup and creamer out of the way several times a day. Instead, just spin it. A mason jar cold brew maker here to have your *cold* cup of Joe ready when you wake up in the morning. Not a coffee person? Have no fear, reviewers also love to use this mason jar to brew their favorite iced teas or infused waters. A Dracula (aka "Gracula") garlic mincer, an unserious yet super helpful kitchen gadget that'll give you another reason to smile while making garlic bread. It's a little ironic, too. A vampire that minces garlic — get it? 😂 A KitchenAid stand mixer duh. If you've ever tried to bake, mix, cook, etc., without one of these babies, you know the struggle. This makes the whole putting-all-the-ingredients-together process so much easier and faster. Promising reviews: "This mixer is not only a game changer in the kitchen, but the color is absolutely stunning. Depending on the lighting, it can give a warm blush tone, and at other times, it gives off a pastel pink. Functional and beautiful, I'm in love! It's worth it." —Amaya"I love that this mixer is so heavy-duty. My kids and I like to bake a lot. The way the paddle blade whips up a bar cookie dough is super fast. I like that I can lock the stainless steel bowl down and control the speed of the mixing process. I've yet to have a tough cookie after switching from my hand mixer to the stand mixer. The wire whisk blade also creates the most fluffy meringue, so light and airy. Once again, being able to control the speed of the whisking action has been key in this process. I also love, love, love the dough hook. I have a sourdough bread recipe that calls for a total of 6 cups of flour. Mixing it with my hand mixer was impossible, and stirring by hand was exhausting. However, this mixer's dough blade attachment did the work in hardly any time at all. I was able to put all the ingredients together and get on with the good part of baking bread much faster, and having that wonderful aroma permeate my house." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $449.95 (available in 22 colors). A condiment fork for the pickle and olive lovers so they can indulge in their favorite snack without reaching their fingers deep into the tiny jar. And it even attaches to the jar for added convenience. Everytime you use your herb scissors: Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Family of British couple detained in Iran says they survived US-Israeli strikes
The son of a British couple detained in Iran has heard from his parents for the first time since the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, after fearing they were in the notorious Iranian prison targeted by strikes. Lindsay and Craig Foreman were detained in January while on a motorcycle tour around the world. The couple were ultimately heading for Australia, having crossed into Iran from Armenia on December 30. They have been charged with security-related offences. Iran claims the couple "collected information" throughout the country under the guise of being tourists. Mrs Foreman was reportedly conducting a research project during the journey, asking people what makes a "good life", and had planned to present her findings at a positive psychology conference in Brisbane in July. Joe Bennett, the couple's eldest son, has launched a public campaign calling for the Government to act "decisively and with urgency" after the "holiday of a lifetime turned into a nightmare". The announcement of the public campaign also brought an update: Lindsay and Craig's family had heard from the couple for the first time since Iran came under Israel and US strikes. "Yesterday we received word," Joe said on Wednesday. "A brief message. And with it, a flood of emotion - relief, yes, but also heartbreak. Because even with that message, so many of our fears remain." The couple's family had been informed in early June that they were being transferred to Evin Prison, a notorious facility where many political prisoners and dissidents have been held. The most recent message said they were in Kerman, near where they were detained. Evin was hit by Israeli strikes on June 23rd, killing 71 people, including staff, soldiers, prisoners and members of visiting families. Joe, in a statement, spoke of the family's anxieties during this period: "The family have just spent a horrific month with no information about their whereabouts or their wellbeing. "It was only yesterday we were told they were in Kerman having been informed a month ago that they were being transferred to Evin. No-one knew if they had - or had not - been moved. "This shouldn't be happening to anyone. But it is. And it's happening to our family.' 'Our parents are not criminals. They are not political players. They're two ordinary people who have been caught up in something deeply unjust.' 'For more than six months we have put our trust in the Foreign Office to make progress, ensure their safety and wellbeing. The Free Lindsay and Craig campaign is asking the public to support their efforts by signing a petition, writing to their MP and sharing the story on social media. The Foreign Office advises against all travel to Iran. "British and British-Iranian dual nationals are at significant risk of arrest, questioning or detention," the guidance says. 'Having a British passport or connections to the UK can be reason enough for the Iranian authorities to detain you.' Before embarking on their travel, Mrs Foreman acknowledged on Instagram that travelling to Iran, against the Foreign Office's advice, was 'slightly scary'. 'Yes, we're aware of the risks. But we also know the rewards of meeting incredible people, hearing their stories, and seeing the breathtaking landscapes of these regions could far outweigh the fear," she said. 'From the vast deserts of Iran to the towering peaks of Pakistan, we hope to share the beauty, hospitality, and humanity that often go unnoticed.' A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are deeply concerned by reports that two British nationals have been charged with espionage in Iran. We continue to raise this case directly with the Iranian authorities. "We are providing them with consular assistance and remain in close contact with their family members." The Iranian regime previously held dual British-Iranian citizens Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori for several years before they were released in March 2022.
