Rochelle Humes wows in £32 top from Next that 'will never age'
The top was praised by shoppers who felt like an 'iconic movie star' when wearing the outfit Next shoppers say that a "flattering" top from Next gets them "lots of compliments" whenever they wear it. Modelled by TV star Rochelle Humes, the outfit was hailed by shoppers as something that "will never age". The former The Saturdays singer stood posed with her hands on her hips to showcase the Brown Glossy Satin Polka Dot Halter Top online. It costs £32 and shoppers could also continue the look with the matching Polka Dot Maxi Skirt that is £50 to create an effect of a full dress. The mum-of-three completed her look with some off-white heels and a touch of jewellery. The top, from the This Morning presenter's collection with the high street store, is made from a "soft satin fabric" and finished with a tie fastening. Similar styles are available elsewhere. New Look has a £9.99 Cream Polka Dot Slash Neck Top and Debenhams has this Polka Dot Print Halter Neck in black for £28.50, reduced from £38. There's an almost identical top for sale over on ASOS - the Tank Top in Brown Polka Dot costs £32 and is made from non-stretch denim. But, Rochelle's top at Next is a clear favourite amongst shoppers. In the reviews, one said: "Wore this to a family party [and got] lots of compliments. It's easy to wear [and] very flattering." Another wrote: "Lovely top, nice to have a different colour top to wear dressed up or casually." A third added that it was "Very pretty". Someone else put: "Exactly what I wanted!" Reviewing the skirt, a fifth shopper said: "The quality of the material is stunning. It hangs lovely and I love poka dots. A little bit expensive but it will never age." There was one person who said they felt like an iconic movie character, writing: "I felt like Pretty Woman. Amazing!" Another fan said: "Beautiful piece of clothing will wear for many years." And, there was one more review that claimed: "I got the top in store and couldn't resist the skirt to complete my 'Pretty Woman' look! Skirt comes up big (I think due to the elasticated waist?)" There are no negative reviews so far, other than one about the skirt, where a shopper claimed the material "creased so badly." The lack of criticism in the reviews section may be off-putting for some shoppers. Plus, the top and skirt are made from 100% recycled polyester, which may be another turn-off for some who prefer more organic material.

Assam CM Himanta shows Muhammad Yunus his place, says Bangladesh's two 'chicken necks' are the most..., India can...
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a scathing attack on the Yunus government and said that those who 'habitually threaten' India on the 'chicken neck corridor', should note that Bangladesh has two such narrow strips of land which are 'far more vulnerable'. Sarma in a post on X said, 'To those who habitually threaten India on the 'Chicken Neck Corridor', should note these facts as well: Bangladesh has two of its own 'chicken necks'. Both are far more vulnerable. First is the 80 km North Bangladesh Corridor- from Dakhin Dinajpur to South West Garo Hills. Any disruption here, can completely isolate the entire Rangpur division from rest of Bangladesh.' 'Second is the 28 km Chittagong Corridor, from South Tripura till the Bay of Bengal. This corridor, smaller than India's chicken neck, is the only link between Bangladesh's economic capital and political capital,' he also posted on X. It is important to note that India's chicken's neck, known as the Siliguri corridor, is a narrow strip of land, measuring around 22 km-35 km in width, that connects the northeast region with the rest of India. For the neighbouring country, disruption in one of these 'chicken necks' will cut off the link between its economic and political capitals, and disruption in the other will isolate the entire Rangpur division from the rest of the country, Sarma claimed. हमें याद रखना चाहिए कि बांग्लादेश का भी अपना Chicken Neck है: मेघालय से चिट्टागोंग तक। No country should be under the impression that it can take over the Chicken's Neck. The World has seen India's military prowess during #OperationSindooor.#PressConferenceHighlights — Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) May 21, 2025 'I am only presenting geographical facts that some may tend to forget. Just like India's Siliguri Corridor, our neighbouring country is also embedded with two narrow corridors of theirs,' the chief minister added. (With PTI Inputs)

7 Hiking trails and walks for families in Hong Kong
Nam Sang Wai Once known for its infamous fugitive crocodile, Pui Pui, Nam Sang Wai is ideal for a family field trip and a spot of bird watching. This rural landscape is an important habitat for birds, including many migratory species on their annual journey across East Asia. Depending on the season, you may be able to spot birds like egrets, cormorants, or even rare spoonbills. There's no set route to take, simply make your way across the wetland park's large network of narrow banks between ponds. Our favourite trail sticks to the southern half of the wetlands and ends at the Nam Sang Wei Ferry Pier. Tai Mei Tuk Family Walk This jaunt beside Plover Cove Reservoir is a great walk for little legs as it only takes an hour or so. Roughly one kilometre in length, the trail takes you through Tai Mei Tuk – a natural paradise at the foot of Mount Pat Sin Leng. Kick off your adventure at Bradbury Jockey Club Youth Hostel, a stone's throw from the scenic Plover Clove (take the 20C minibus from Tai Po Market Station to Tai Mei Tuk bus terminus). The walk passes a series of 12 columns representing signs of the zodiac, and visits four viewing points from where you'll be treated to sweeping views across the reservoir. Hoi Ha and Pak Sha O For a seaside adventure, take the family on a walk around the villages of Hoi Ha and Pak Sha O. Located in the far north of the Sai Kung Peninsula, Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park has diverse marine life. Beyond Hoi Ha village, there's a small pier where you can snorkel and explore the coral close to shore. – you might even spot a few crabs scurrying around! The beaches at Hoi Ha Wan have crystal clear waters and white sand, providing you with a perfectly calming haven away from the city. Roaming further inland you will eventually reach the beautifully renovated Hakka village of Pak Sha O. Remember to respect the residents' privacy, but don't be afraid to take a look around the lush woods. Tap Mun (Grass Island) Catch a ferry to Tap Mun from Wong Shek or Ma Liu Shui to this idyllic grassy island. There's a gentle trail over the island that takes you through unspoiled fishing villages, loads of grass, and famous rock formations on the coastline such as Balanced Rock and the Neck of the Dragon. Wild cattle dot the landscape, making the walk exciting for kids. It's also a top place to fly a kite. Olympic Trail, Lantau This slightly longer but highly scenic trail over Lantau begins at Pak Mong village, near Tung Chung. It starts with a slow ascent, ultimately providing stunning views of the airport and Lantau's lush peaks. The trail descends fairly steeply (so be careful!) and passes by the famous Silvermine Waterfall, before descending into Mui Wo village and the beach at Silvermine Bay. You should all be ready for a good meal and a nap on the ferry after this one. Hok Tau - Sha Lo Tung - Fung Yuen This gentle walk is great for beginners. To reach the Hok Tau Reservoir, follow Hok Tau Road and walk past Hok Tau Campsite. From there, you can proceed to Cheung Uk via the ancient path and visit Sha Lo Tung Valley, before walking downhill to Ting Kok Road via Fung Yuen. Make sure you check out Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve on the way. The Peak Circular Walk This family-friendly walk offers views of Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour. The mostly flat and paved path circles around the Peak and takes one to two hours to complete. To start the walk, simply take the Peak Tram up to the top and follow the signs for the Peak Circle Walk. The route is well-marked and easy to follow. When you're done, rest and refuel at The Peak Galleria.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
