The World No4 is ready for an emotional return to home fans in the Premier League Night 12 in Liverpool on Thursday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Luke Littler suggested he won't be competing in the World Cup 2 Stephen Bunting could replace Littler in the World CuP But The Bullet, 40, is also eyeing up a surprise place for the national team in the World Cup on June 12 in Frankfurt. Littler and Humphries are set to be England's duo but the teen sensation placed some doubt on his position after a cryptic social media post at the weekend. He said: 'Shouldn't have been in Munich but had to play anyway, next one in Germany for me is Dortmund and I am glad to say that.' Bunting would be next in line if the teen sensation doesn't play, he smiled and said: 'He's put a few posts on socials about not going back to Germany. 'Well, if he doesn't go back to Germany, that means I'm in the World Cup, doesn't it?' On Littler's banter with the Liverpool fans ahead of the M&S Bank Arena event, he added: 'I think it's a dangerous path that you could go down. 'Obviously, you don't want to get the fans hating you. For me, it's always been about showing my personality, whether it be TikTok or YouTube, and showing what I'm about. 'Showing the fans something different, a different side. I know football rivalries aside, people all boo and cheer for the favourites.' CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Bunting dismissed any notion of swapping his iconic Titanium walk-on for You'll Never Walk Alone. He admits the latter means more to him still. He added: 'You'll Never Walk Alone is the best, definitely. Especially when I'm in the ground and we're all singing it together. But I couldn't walk on to You'll Never Walk Alone. I don't want to make myself too emotional. Stephen Bunting reveals how he is staying positive despite Premier League Darts struggles 'I don't know whether PDC will allow it. I may ask PDC if I can put a bit of Jamie Webster, My City, before I go on. I think that's more of a poignant song. 'I think obviously My City, My People, My Heart and then going to the Titanium. I think that would be a really nice touch. 'When I get up on that stage, I'll sing Titanium as loud as I can to the Liverpool crowd. Hopefully they can get behind me all night and be my 12th man.' Bunting admits he needs his own Liverpool 'Istanbul' legendary comeback in the 2005 Champions League final to climb from bottom of the table to fourth place - a current gap of eight points - with five nights to go. He said: 'I'm a Scouser, aren't I? We fight till the end. That was born and bred in me ever since I've been a young lad. Comeback 'I'll never give up in any game I play. Whether it be 6-0 down, 5-0 down or whatever it may be, I keep fighting till the end. 'That's what I've done, really. I've come back off the floor. I was bottom of the league with not a point and now I've won a night and lost in a final of a night.' With curious irony, there is speculation that Ronnie O'Sullivan is using a new titanium ferrule in the snooker World Championship, which means he can aim directly at the potting angle, rather than allowing for side spin on the cue ball. Bunting added: 'I didn't know that. I like watching the snooker, to be honest. 'I know what'll be doing tonight, watching the highlights. I love watching snooker. 'Ronnie O'Sullivan's a master of snooker and if he's using titanium as well then it can only be good, can't it?'

Saudi Arabia: Riyadh Mobilises Emergency Plan as Heavy Rains and Hailstorms Sweep the City 6,500 Personnel and 1,800 Vehicles Deployed Across the Kingdom's Capital
Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, has been battered by severe weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and hailstorms, prompting the activation of an emergency response plan. The downpour, which has caused flooding and traffic disruptions, is part of a broader storm system affecting the city and surrounding provinces. In response to the adverse weather, Riyadh's municipality quickly mobilized resources, activating a comprehensive emergency action plan aimed at managing water accumulation, maintaining traffic flow, and ensuring public safety. The plan was implemented in three phases: preparation, intervention, and recovery. Preemptive actions included clearing water channels, ensuring stormwater drainage systems were functioning, and equipping the city's emergency operations center for rapid deployment. As the rain intensified, field teams were sent to critical areas to drain floodwaters and regulate traffic, especially on major roads and around key public facilities. A total of 6,500 personnel—including engineers, inspectors, and field workers—were mobilized to handle the situation, supported by 1,800 specialized vehicles and heavy machinery. This robust response ensured that flooding was managed promptly, and traffic disruptions were minimized. To keep residents informed, the municipality increased communication efforts, releasing regular updates on weather conditions and public safety guidelines. The public was urged to report incidents using the 'Madinati' (My City) app and the unified 940 call center. This allowed emergency teams to prioritize the most critical areas for intervention. Despite the challenges posed by the storm, authorities are continuing their recovery efforts to restore normalcy and ensure the safety of Riyadh's residents.
