Humza Yousaf's family-in-law 'starving in Gaza'
The former first minister shared a video on social media on Tuesday, where the pair said the stories they were hearing from El-Nakla's side of the family in Gaza were "sickening" and "gut-wrenching". They added that while governments "might stay silent" and refuse to act, "we won't". READ MORE: British Jewish body calls for broadcaster James O'Brien to be 'taken off air' It comes as more than 100 aid organisations warned of 'mass starvation' in Gaza with more than two million people facing shortages of food and other essentials after 21 months of brutal bombardment by Israel. The UN said on Tuesday that Israeli forces had killed more than 1000 Palestinians trying to get food aid since the US-and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started operations in late May – in effect side-lining the existing UN-led system. In the video, El-Nakla says: "My cousin Sally, her husband and four children are starving. My aunt Hanan, her children and grandchildren, including a seven-month-old baby, are being starved." Nadia's cousin Sally, and her four children are being starved by Israel. Millions in Gaza are being deliberately starved while Israel withholds food mere kilometres away. Words are not enough. Governments must act and force Israel to open the borders and allow aid to flow in. — Humza Yousaf (@HumzaYousaf) July 23, 2025 Yousaf adds: "Sally is one of millions in Gaza. Her husband goes out all day searching for food, often to come home with nothing – and when I say home, I mean a tent in almost 40 degree heat." El-Nakla then says: "Yesterday my family's town, Deir Al Balah, was hit hard and starving people were being forced to run while being shot and bombed." "In Gaza, doctors are becoming too weak to treat patients, journalists too weak to report the silent killer of forced starvation," Yousaf adds. El-Nakla goes on: "This is a deliberate starvation of the Palestinian people. Food and water are mere kilometres away. READ MORE: Labour panned for foreign aid cuts as women and children to be hit hardest "This form of warfare is sickening and the stories and images from my family and millions of others in Gaza are absolutely gut-wrenching. "Can you imagine not being able to feed your children, yet knowing the food you so desperately need is only a few miles away?" Yousaf continues: "Fathers like me, parents like us, children like ours, being starved, displaced, bombed, all while the world watches. "Governments might stay silent. They may refuse to act, but we won't." El-Nakla concludes: "Sally's life matters. Palestinian lives matter. And I am begging those who have the power to open the borders to do so now and let the people of Gaza live." Pressure is continuing to ramp up on the UK Government to take action over Israel's starvation of [[Gaza]] – including from voices which have, until now, remained largely silent. The National reported earlier on Wednesday on a harrowing front page by the right-wing Daily Express, which featured an image of a starving one-year old child in Gaza accompanied by the headline 'for pity's sake stop this now'. A sub-heading detailed how the child Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq was 'clinging on to life' and how his suffering 'shames us all'.

BBC Breakfast's Sally Nugent makes huge Ozzy Osbourne error live on air as viewers left furious
BBC Breakfast fans were less than impressed with Sally Nugent's mistake as she interviewed KISS icon Gene Simmons after Ozzy's death. BBC Breakfast viewers were left furious after presenter Sally Nugent made a big Ozzy Osbourne error live on-air just hours after the news broke of the Black Sabbath rocker's death. Ozzy's family confirmed the 76-year-old passed away yesterday on July 22, less than three weeks after his farewell gig with Black Sabbath. On Wednesday's instalment of the BBC show, Sally was interviewing KISS musician Gene Simmons about Ozzy's legacy when the broadcaster made the noticeable blunder, forcing Gene to correct her mistake on live TV, the Express reports. Gene praised the late 'Prince of Darkness' in an emotional tribute, gushing: 'If you met him as a human being off-stage, you'd be shocked, because he treated people exactly the same way. "No airs about him, he's met queens and kings and all kinds of political leaders, and the person next door who you meet on the street. There never will be another Ozzy.' BBC star Sally then said to the KISS icon: 'You were at the [Black Sabbath] concert two weeks ago…' However, Gene was quick to interrupt as he replied: 'No I wasn't.' Sally awkwardly replied: "Oh right, okay, but did you see the images?' Gene said: "Yes. I saw the whole thing.' Trying to brush her error under the carpet, Sally said: 'It's incredible, isn't it, to think he was on stage so recently". Furious viewers took to social media to rant about the awkward moment. One unimpressed user wrote: "And Sally says 'you were at the concert two weeks ago'... 'no I wasn't'... why do we have to put up with this not so funny Bridget Jones?" Another chimed in: "Silly Sally – I know you were at the concert with Ozzy a couple of weeks ago… Gene - I wasn't.' Meanwhile, other fans were more moved by Gene's touching words. One wrote: "Gene Simmons on @BBCBreakfast this morning talking about Ozzy Osbourne. A quality chat, really articulate and moving." The Osbourne family released a joint statement to announce Ozzy's death last night which was signed by wife Sharon, whom he wed in 1986, as well as their children Jack Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne, Aimee Osbourne and Ozzy's son Louis Osbourne from his first marriage.

The statement from his family said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Ozzy battled numerous health issues over the years with his final appearance on stage coming just over a fortnight ago.

Corrie exit story confirmed in early ITVX release as sad decision is made
This article contains spoilers for tonight's Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX. A Coronation Street exit has been confirmed as Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) received news from a social worker in tonight's episode. Sally and husband Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) have been fostering the Michaelis kids, following their parents' arrests. Mick Michaelis was arrested and charged with the murder of Craig Tinker earlier this year, while Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty) was arrested for her assault on Gary Windass (Mikey North). In tonight's scenes, Sally found out that Lou planned to plead guilty to the assault, meaning she would be facing a lengthy prison stretch. Following the news, Sally agreed to take Joanie and Shanice to see their mum, and asked Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) if he wanted to join them. Brody agreed to go along, though once they arrived at the prison he was clearly hostile toward Lou. With the kids out of earshot, Lou defended Brody to Sally, pointing out that this was his way of showing that he was upset. She went on to confess that she knew she was going to be behind bars for a long time, and asked Sally for a favour. Lou had previously asked Sally to pay for an expensive lawyer, and Sally reiterated that she couldn't afford one, though Lou insisted that wasn't what she was going to ask for. More Trending Emotional, she requested that Sally not bring the children to see her anymore, explaining that she didn't want their prison visits to be their core memories of her. Determined to do right by Brody, Joanie and Shanice, Sally agreed.

Home Bargains worker reveals store's ‘secret' Halloween theme three months early – and shoppers are loving it
THERE'S still three months to go until Halloween, with plenty of summer nights to enjoy beforehand. But shoppers have already started thinking about spooky wares for this year. 2 2 And they've been pleading with retail workers to find out what frightful ranges we can expect for 2025. Posting on the Home Bargains Appreciation Society Facebook group, which boasts 180,000 members, one hopeful person asked: "Soooooo any HB staff want to anonymously tell us what the Halloween theme will be this year……." Their Halloween wish was quickly granted as an anonymous employee was quick to oblige. They revealed: "It's been released onto [our internal retail network] .. a lot of very happy Tim Burton fans is all I can cowgirl too." The same member of staff later confirmed the movie in question is The Nightmare Before Christmas and gave shoppers a sneak peek at the inventory list. The Tim Burton movie, which was released in 1993, tells the story of Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king who rules over Halloweentown. But he becomes jaded with spooky season and kidnaps Santa in a bid to bring some festive cheer, to disastrous consequences. Now Jack and his pals, like Sally and Zero the ghost dog are set to be filling the shelves at Home Bargains in the months to come. The Halloween range will have everything from decorations and kitchenware to clothing and homeware. Fans of the cult flick will be able to pick up tiered pumpkins, string lights and a shadow light projector. Mum slams Home Bargains for selling 'gruesome' Halloween prop next to children's costumes in 'city in the midst of a knife crime crisis' For outdoors, you can fill your garden with a Jack Skellington inflatable and stake lights. There will also be kids and adult hooded blankets up for grabs as well as plush pyjamas for all ages and slippers. To give your home a Nightmare Before Christmas makeover, you can even bag dinner plates and bowls, duvet sets, a Jack cushion and printed throw. But you'll need to wait until the Halloween range hits the shelves for prices. Impressed by the Nightmare Before Christmas news, one shopper gushed: "Oh I'm here for this." But another was stunned by the revelation, and wrote: "Only management team are meant to know at this point & are told not to tell anyone, even family members. There are some early items out atm though." Meanwhile, another Home Bargains employee said: "Yeah I just see the PDF file…look fun this year."

Nicole Kidman Shares First Behind-the-Scenes Look With Sandra Bullock for 'Practical Magic 2'
The witchy 1998 classic Practical Magic starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock is getting a part two. The leading ladies are 'in negotiations' to come back as their characters, sister witches Sally (Bullock) and Gillian (Kidman), according to Deadline. In June 2024, the official Warner Bros. Pictures Instagram account confirmed plans for the film's sequel. The brand shared a series of memes made with scenes from the original movie, starting the carousel with a clip of Sally running and jumping into Michael's (Mark Feuerstein) arms for a kiss. In May 2025, Warner Bros. confirmed a Sept. 18, 2026 release date for the film. 'It's official! Practical Magic 2 is in development and coming soon. 🌟🧙♀️,' Warner Bros. captioned the post. Warner Bros. also shared the news on TikTok, posting a video of Sally and Gillian dancing and sipping their midnight margaritas. 'Me and the girls finding out Practical Magic 2 is happening,' the text read. On June 13, 2024, Kidman confirmed to People that she and Bullock will be returning as the sisters. She told the publication with a laugh, 'Yes I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that's that. There's a lot more to tell which is why we go, "OK, this is kind of interesting now to be able to do this."' '[We] found a way in,' she quipped. In July 2025, Evan Rachel Wood cleared up rumors about a potential return as Kylie Owens, saying in her Instagram Stories that she would not be in the sequel. 'I am getting asked about this a lot, so I'll just clear it up now,' she wrote. 'I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel.' Woods says she reached out to express interest in returning, but was not offered a role. 'I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line,' she continued. 'I was told they are recasting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.' The original Practical Magic follows sisters Sally and Gillian Owens who were orphaned as kids and raised by their aunts Francis (Stockard Channing) and Jet (Dianne Wiest), who teach them the ways of witchcraft. But a curse placed on their bloodline, which causes any man that an Owens woman loves to die, causes Sally and Gillian swear off magic in their adult lives. However, some sticky situations lead the sisters right back to casting spells in order to save their lives. The film is based on the same-name book by Alice Hoffman. Details on the next film's plot and cast are still mostly under wraps. On January 24, 2025, Deadline reported that Oscar winner Susanne Bier was in negotiations to direct. Bier is a favorite of both the stars, who have worked with her on various other projects: Bier directed Bullock in Netflix's Bird Box, and Kidman for the series The Undoing and miniseries The Perfect Couple. Yes! On July 18, Kidman shared a clip from behind-the-scenes on set. In the brief moment, she and Bullock are standing by a fake grave in maxi dresses, with Kidman wearing her iconic strawberry blonde wig from the film. They embrace and smile, even after the scene appears to end. 'The witches are back,' Kidman wrote in the caption. 'Owens sisters' first day on set!'
