Driver who plowed through Liverpool FC parade ID'd as ‘normal, well balanced' suburban family man: report
The man arrested for mowing down dozens of Liverpool FC soccer fans at a championship parade with a minivan has been identified as a 'normal, well balanced' middle-class father, according to a report. The 53-year-old suspect has been revealed to be a small business-owner who lived in a detached home in a Liverpool suburb with his teacher wife and their children, The Times of London reported. Neighbors said the suspect, who has not yet been charged or publicly named, was 'such a normal Liverpool dad' and a 'genuinely pleasant family man,' according to the outlet. 'I briefly chatted to him six months ago. He seemed fairly normal, and as people go, quite down to earth and a normal, well balanced guy,' an anonymous former neighbor said, adding he was a 'very sensible family man.' 7 Video captured the moment the minivan rammed into the crowd during the Liverpool FC parade on May 26, 2025. 'He was quite proud of his oldest child, and he was telling me how well they were doing. I got the sense he's proud of his family,' that ex-neighbor dished to the outlet. A current neighbor told the outlet the 53-year-old suspect once came to their house in the middle of the night to help them turn off a malfunctioning alarm, The Times of London reported. 'He was very thoughtful, and would look out for older residents in the street,' the neighbor told the publication. 'I really struggle to believe how he could be the [arrested man]. He's the last person on this street I would have thought would be connected to something like that,' the neighbor added. 7 Yellow-vested police officers surround the vehicle in an attempt to get the driver out after the horrific scene. 7 Parade-goers attend to fans injured in the incident in Liverpool, UK. Getty Images Social media reviewed by the Times of London revealed that the suspect competed in triathlons and took vacations to exotic locations. British police are still questioning the man in connection with the unconscionable driving crash that saw scores of Liverpool FC boosters injured, with 79 people taken to area hospitals, including two young children. Video showed the car encircled on Water Street by hundreds of fans who were partaking in the celebration of Liverpool FC's Premier League Championship win, which drew tens of thousands of people to the streets. 7 Emergency workers transport an injured parade-goer away after the parade. Getty Images 7 Busses drive through the crowded streets of Liverpool during the teams championship parade. Getty Images The driver of the Ford Galaxy is believed to have followed an ambulance onto the crowded street, which was attempting to help a person in the crowd suffering from a heart attack, The Times of London reported, citing local law enforcement officials. Fans enraged at the infraction poured in around the minivan and began beating at the windows and the windshield, causing yellow-vested cops to try and intervene, video showed. The car lurches back then accelerates down the street striking numerous people — sending one fan flying head over heels across its hood, according to the footage. 7 The minivan sits in the middle of the street surrounded by emergency vehicles on May 26, 2025. Phil Noble/Reuters via Imagn Images At one point, the driver veers into a densely packed part of the crowd, hitting even more people before stopping the vehicle, according to video. Police are still holding the 53-year-old in custody for questioning on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving offences, and driving while unfit through drugs, according to The Times of London. Seven people remain hospitalized in stable condition as a result of the incident and there were zero fatalities, the publication reported. 7 A worker cleans up the streets after the incident in Liverpool on May 27, 2025. REUTERS NBA great LeBron James, a Liverpool FC minority owner, reacted with shock to the horrid scenes from the celebratory occasion on social media. 'OMG!!!! WTH. My deepest thoughts and prayers goes out to everyone affected that attended @LFC Premiere League trophy parade today! Such a senseless act!,' James wrote on X.

Tom Cruise ‘had to be carried off the plane' after an exhausting ‘Mission: Impossible' stunt
Even for one of Hollywood's biggest stars, some stunts can push the limits. Tom Cruise was so physically fatigued from acting in a daring sequence for Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning that crew members had to carry him off the plane. In the blockbuster franchise's eighth and seemingly final instalment, Tom Cruise filmed a scene walking on the wing of a small biplane mid-air. 'It beat the hell out of him. The wind hitting him, and the blast of the propeller, particles hitting him. It was the hardest workout you could ever do, it was very dangerous and very exhausting for him. Many times, we were carrying him off the wing because he was so tired. And he was flying all day,' said Wade Eastwood, the film's longtime stunt coordinator and second-unit director to The Times of London newspaper. Eastwood and Cruise have worked together since 2013, after meeting during the filming of Edge of Tomorrow. He was a stunt coordinator on the last four Mission: Impossible films and reminisced about his most-liked moment, which came in the seventh film, Dead Reckoning Part One, where Cruise rode off a cliff-edge on a motorbike. On the actor's risk tolerance and performing his own stunts, Eastwood said, "Tom doesn't show fear, Tom shows competence. He had fun during all his stunts, even when it was exhausting. He's always positive, he'll always put on a smile, and he genuinely enjoys it.' The actor spent over a year training in motocross and skydiving to prepare for the stunt, completing more than 500 skydives and 13,000 motocross jumps, he disclosed. 'No, no chance. He's a machine. He acts like a 20-year-old. And there's no magic there, it's just hard work and discipline with his food, nutrition and training," Eastwood said when he was asked whether Cruise might soon step back from such physically demanding roles. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which was released on May 17, stars Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, and Esai Morales, besides Tom Cruise. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, it shows Cruise's character Ethan Hunt and the IMF team rush to stop the Entity, a rogue AI that can annihilate mankind.

John Legend reflects on Kanye West's decline: ‘It's shocking to see where he is now'
Grammy-winning jazz musician John Legend has expressed his sorrow over the dramatic transformation of his former friend and business partner, rapper Kanye West. Speaking candidly in an interview with The Times of London, Legend shared his shock at how West, once a prolific and passionate artist, has evolved into a figure defined by controversy and divisiveness. Legend reminisced about their early days together, recalling how West was a visionary with a boundless sense of optimism and creativity. 'Back then Kanye was very passionate, very gifted, and he had big dreams not only for himself but also for all the people around him,' Legend said. 'He had so much optimism, so much creativity. It does feel sad, sometimes shocking, to see where he is now.' In the mid-2000s, West played a pivotal role in turning around Legend's career. After being turned down by multiple labels, Legend was signed to West's label, GOOD Music, in 2004. The partnership not only gave Legend exposure but also allowed him to witness firsthand the meteoric rise of West, who was already making waves with his production on Jay-Z's The Blueprint and his own solo albums like The College Dropout. Legend explained how the success of The College Dropout, which sold 400,000 copies in its first week, turned the tables for both of them, making Legend a sought-after artist in his own right. However, despite their professional achievements, the two friends drifted apart after a public falling-out in 2022, when West voiced his support for former U.S. President Donald Trump. While Legend had hoped for a resolution, he never anticipated the further escalation of West's behavior, particularly his recent embrace of harmful ideologies. 'I didn't see a hint of what we're seeing now, his obsessions with antisemitism, anti-blackness, and it is sad to see his devolution,' Legend admitted. He speculated that the passing of West's mother in 2007 marked a turning point in his life, with a noticeable shift in his behavior that has only accelerated in recent years. As the world watches Kanye West's increasingly controversial public persona, John Legend's reflection offers a somber look at the downfall of a once-promising artist who once inspired hope and creativity.

Your social media a/cs, digital pictures, data: Decide in advance who inherits these digital assets
Indira Gandhi, then India's prime minister, was expelled from the Congress party in November 1969. Her next move was to form a breakaway party, calling a Congress session to make the announcement. Veteran photojournalist Raghu Rai was in the room along with other cameramen and journalists. After the briefing, most of the journalists and photographers left, except Rai. He hung around and went on taking photos unobtrusively, capturing some stunning images, among them Gandhi in tears at the heartfelt support she got from party members. Still, the newspaper where Rai worked at the time published just two of his pictures. The Times of London, on the other hand, devoted half a page to them. ADVERTISEMENT Now at 83, Rai has been digitising his photographic archives—historic images spanning over 60 years. One of India's most celebrated photojournalists, Delhi-based Rai says that bequeathing our digital assets is just as important as deciding who inherits our financial assets. Most of us live our lives on social media—posting photos on Facebook, sharing stories on Instagram, and storing files on cloud services like iCloud and Google One. The question is: what happens to our photos and documents up there after we're gone and how can we pass them on? Digital assets include cloud storage that syncs photos and documents from mobile phones, tablets, and computers. These go beyond just photos, and include files, identity cards, and even records stored on DigiLocker, the government's digital document most basic way to pass on digital assets is a written will. Passwords can be included in the will and heirs nominated to take charge after your demise, just as with other assets. This though is risky, says Neha Pathak, Head, Trust & Estate Planning, Motilal Oswal Private Wealth. 'To write down your passwords in your will is dangerous. Whoever has a copy would know them in your lifetime. Besides, after your death, your will becomes part of public record when it needs to get probated,' she says. She suggests writing passwords down on paper and putting this in a place known to you and the person you want to bequeath your digital assets to. ADVERTISEMENT However, this too can be dodgy because passwords that aren't changed often run the risk of being hacked. And if you change them often, you need to keep changing that piece of paper. Rajat Dutta, Founder, Inheritance Needs Services, cites a client who used a password app for email, banking and social media. When he died, his heirs couldn't access the password app and his emails got locked. 'Post probate, only after sharing the same with the app provider, could they get access,' he said. ADVERTISEMENT Before you write a will, give a thought to where your digital assets should those of us who click pictures at every street corner, on holidays and family dinners besides taking multiple selfies, there's probably little interest in preserving them. It's best to assign someone to take charge of the library and have it deleted. ADVERTISEMENT But for those pursuing a passion and have photos, videos and content that form part of their research and knowledge sharing, your digital assets could form a valuable archive that will benefit others. Here's a close look at what three people, including Rai, are planning, to give you an idea of the options available. Raghu Rai, 83 Photojournalist, New Delhi Made a will?Yes ADVERTISEMENT Core interestTo chronicle changing social, cultural and political landscape of India's history. Occupation Photojournalism. Still working. Digital collection Photos, rare pictures of Indira Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama, stories documented since 1960s, over 60 authored books, and 8-10 books in the pipeline. Have the digital assets been bequeathed? Yes. Who will inherit the digital assets? Raghu Rai Foundation. The Institutional Route: Mumbai-based R. Venkatesh, 51, is an urban researcher, who spends many weekends roaming the streets of the Maximum City, chronicling Art Deco buildings, heritage railway stations and municipal bridges, as well as the ever-changing Fort area. 'To retain the culture of Mumbai, remember how it began, who contributed and how we became such a warm, culturally inclusive and communally harmonious city with the greatest professional ethics and values across levels, is a story that deserves to be told, and added to, for centuries,' he says. Venkatesh juggles his day job in the finance sector with a passion for studying and documenting history and culture in his spare from conducting study and walking tours on topics such as Mumbai's maritime trade, and the rise of India's shipping and finance industries, Venkatesh spends most of his free time travelling across India, armed with his DSLR the years, he has built a repository of more than 20,000 photos backed up from his iPhone, 25 folders of camera photos on iCloud, and pre-2020 photos now stored on Google Cloud—dating back to his first camera, a Minolta. All of these are now digitised and stored on the a full-time finance professional, Venkatesh understands the importance of writing a will. A lifetime member of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai, he wants to leave copies of his collection of photos and notes to the institution. 'Future generations of its members will benefit,' he also has plans to leave behind some of his work to other institutions such as the Maritime Mumbai Museum Society and the Instucen Trust. He will leave behind all of his work to his legal successor as well, to make sure one institution won't have exclusive rights, so that there are no restrictions accessing his work. He also has plans to bequeath his social media handles to his legal successors. The Family Way: You could bequeath your digital legacy to your family, as numismatist Pascal Lopes, 45, plans to do. Like Venkatesh, he too has a regular day job, as a software engineer at a global financial services firm. In his spare time, Lopes, also based in Mumbai, studies the coins of the Portuguese-Maratha era in the context of the history of Mumbai and India. Lopes got drawn to collecting—and eventually studying—them in his childhood after he saw his father collecting rare coins. His passion drove him to pick up a Masters in Numismatics and Archaeology from Mumbai University. Lopes has documented the evolution of coins against the backdrop of Mumbai's history. He studied the erstwhile Portuguese colonial territory of Mumbai north of Bandra, all the way to present-day Vasai and Nala Sopara. This includes the various archaeological sites associated with Portuguese history, including the Vasai Fort, which lies in ruins today. His coin collection isn't limited to the Portuguese-Maratha period; it includes coins from the princely states, the British era, and rare, out-of-circulation coins of independent time, Lopes has photographed his vast coin collection as well as his handwritten notes. And, social media has brought him closer to an audience that is hungry for knowledge; his Instagram handle has nearly 21,000 Lopes hasn't yet made a will. 'I am not much aware of how digitised data can be made available to my legal heirs and others, but I have worked very hard to document history. I don't want to lose my work,' says Lopes, who is getting ready to publish his forthcoming book A Walk Through Vasai Sopara Virar sponsored by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority. He once bought some rare journals during a clearance sale at Mumbai's Asiatic Society and Library that he digitised eventually. 'I would want somebody to use these journals and maybe even publish them,' he has a plan though. He wants to leave all the actual coins, especially those of Vasai and Mumbai, and their digital photographs to his family— wife and two daughters. 'I don't want these to be in a museum. I want them to be with my family, but where people can come and see them,' he says. He also wants some of his own research and digitised notes, especially on Vasai and Sopara architecture, to be available to individual researchers, though he says he is inclined to leave them to some credible foundations. Leaving a digital legacy: One account at a time Appoint a legacy contact and state it clearly in your will. What exactly are digital assets? Cloud storage (Photos, documents, and so on)• DigiLocker • Emails • Computer • Mobile phones Who is a legacy contact? A person you can assign to manage your social media accounts. Pascal Lopes, 45 Numismatist, Mumbai Made a Will?No Core interest Study of coins from the Portuguese– Maratha era in the context of Mumbai and India's history, along with study of forts across Maharashtra. Occupation Software engineer at a large, global financial services firm. Digital collection Rare coins, books, digitised journals, notes, presentations of history of Vasai, Sopara and the erstwhile Portuguese settlement in and around Mumbai. Have the digital assets been bequeathed? Not yet. Who might inherit the digital assets? Mostly family, some independent researchers, foundations that document heritage and history. Take charge of your digital afterlifeFrom listing assets to writing a will, secure your online presence with clear instructions. Preserve or delete Take a count of your digital assets, (social media accounts, Cloud accounts and emails). Identify a person you wish to give control to. Ascertain the future of your digital content (photos, files, documents, books, etc). Write a willDo not write your password in your will. But assign an heir for your digital assets. Assign legacy contact for your Apple, Google and Facebook accounts Write in your will that after your legacy contact deals with the data as per your wishes, your account should be shut. Setting up a Foundation: Although Rai has been using a digital camera for the past 20 years, he had about 40 years of photos taken using film. Rai says that he started digitising these after being coaxed by his gallerist Devika Daulat Singh. It took him around seven years, including all the time spent by his office to caption all of them and assign dates. Was the effort worth it? 'Yes. If honest journalism is the first draft of history, then photojournalism is the evidence of that history which cannot be changed. History is written and rewritten, but an image cannot be rewritten,' says Rai. Archiving is important, Rai says, especially if you are documenting change over the years. He cites the work of two photographers from British India who took pictures of the colonial times, the people, their way of life. 'When we see those photographs today, we say 'wow that's how India used to look like in the 1880s and early 1900s'.' If you don't have your own resources to create a meaningful place to preserve your assets, give it to an institution, he owns a six-acre farmhouse on the outskirts of Delhi, where he and his wife, along with Devika Daulat Singh, plan to house the Raghu Rai Foundation and his body of work. His wife, a conservation architect, brings a deep understanding of preservation. Rai has also written a will.A legacy contact is a person appointed in your lifetime to take charge of your social media accounts after you die. ET Wealth checked out the policies of Apple, Google, Facebook and Instagram to see what happens to your accounts after you At the bottom of the pyramid of ease of bequeathing is Meta-owned Instagram with the least number of features. After you die, your legal heir must write to Instagram to memorialise your account. The account gets a 'Remembering' tag below the person's name. Memorialised accounts don't appear in searches. The downside is that photos and posts remain with Instagram; the legal heir cannot claim those. In fact, there's nothing of a person's account that the legal heir can Facebook, also owned by Meta, fares slightly better in this regard. You can appoint a legacy contact during your lifetime—someone who will manage your Facebook profile after your death. Once notified, Facebook will memorialise the account. If you do not want to appoint any legacy contact and want your account deleted, you can choose that option in your settings. Once Facebook comes to know that you are dead, it will delete your account legacy contact won't have access to your photos, posts and content, but can write a pinned post for your memorialised profile, saying that you've passed on, a line or two in your remembrance, and so on. Your legacy contact can change your profile photo but cannot remove or edit any of your iCloud: Apple's legacy contact features are more evolved. It lists data that the legacy contact can access after your death—iCloud photos, notes, gmail, calendars, voice memos and health data. Your legacy contact cannot access licensed data such as music purchased through iTunes or Apple Keychain (where passwords are stored), and so on. Your legacy contact needn't be an Apple or iPhone you appoint your legacy contact in your settings, you will get an Access Key—a QR code and an alphanumeric key. This can be printed or kept with your Google's legacy contact feature is among the best. Google steps in once your account becomes inactive. Choose the length of inactivity after which you want Google to get in touch with your legacy contact. You can, in your lifetime, choose up to 10 legacy contacts. The legacy contact has three months to download your data. After another three months, Google will permanently delete your account. At the time of choosing your legacy contact, Google gives you an exhaustive list of items in your Google account that you can choose to share—Mail, Chat, Blogger, Calendar, contacts, Drive, Fitbit, Tasks, and so you want your social media accounts and cloud to be deleted after you pass on, that's fine. But still, appoint someone to take charge of your accounts and get them to proactively initiate the deletion you wish to pass on your digital wealth, then start making a plan. Dutta says that even if you do not appoint a legacy contact, your legal heirs can still approach social media and big technology companies to gain control over your accounts. To make this easy for your legal heirs, mention that in your will as also the individuals who will be in charge of your social media accounts. In fact, even though Meta says that legacy contacts cannot get access to a deceased person's data, it has said that in some countries, courts can enforce sharing.'Remember, the platform has its own terms of use,' says Radhika Gaggar, Partner, Co-head, Private client, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas. 'You might be clear that you want to leave behind your digital wealth for someone, but the platform might not allow full access.'But legal and inheritance experts like Dutta say that courts in India have been of great help in this regard.
