Christian Eriksen released a statement saying this situation was different from what happened in 2021.

For now, his focus is on recovering, spending time with his family, going on vacation and playing football with his children ❤️🙏

Brazil are my tentative pick to win the World Cup. Raphinha and Vini big threats. A revived Casemiro and Bruno Guimaraes, Marquinhos and Gabriel at back. Alisson in goal. Some spine. Won’t mind conditions ( won here in 94). Plus Ancelotti to get mentality right.

We are desperately saddened to report the passing of our former Academy player Anthony Renton.

An inspirational character, Anthony bravely battled leukaemia for almost nine years - and never let it diminish his love of our game.

Anthony was a promising defender and had only recently signed his first professional terms with Boro when he was first diagnosed with leukaemia back in July 2017.

Despite the many challenges and setbacks he faced as a result of his cancer battle, Anthony continued to be a beacon of positivity.

He spent many of his later years in coaching, including some time with our Academy. His dedication to supporting young footballers in their development both on and off the pitch will always be remembered, and leaves a lasting legacy with so many children and their families across Teesside.

Anthony’s commitment was recognised when he was named a hugely deserved first winner of our MFC Academy Alumni Award in March 2026.

Anthony passed away peacefully over the weekend at the age of 27.

Our thoughts go out to Anthony’s family and friends at this devastating time.

ON THIS DAY - 38 years ago! On 8 Jun 1988 Rupert Murdoch and I announced the launch of satellite TV in the UK. Murdoch would arrange the Sky satellite transmissions and the programme content; Amstrad would make the dishes and receivers to pick up the programmes.

Idris Elba says James Bond shouldn't be "woke":

“Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke. I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond.” https://t.co/HooRqPvIhr

BREAKING:

The right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori is projected to win the Peruvian presidential election

She has 50.46% of the votes with 90% of the votes counted. The far-left candidate R. Sánchez has 49.55%

They haven’t counted the votes from abroad yet, where she’s strong.

Not sure what your point is. Yes I write columns for the Daily Mail. Read and learn. I also host a show on Times Radio. And in my career I have been an editor of The Economist, the editor of The Sunday Times, Publisher of The Scotsman Group of Newspapers, Chairman of Sky News, broadcaster for network BBC TV and Radio, Chairman of The Spectator. Oh — and cricket corr. for the Paisley Daily Express!!!
But I see you have an MA from something called the ‘Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism’. So I guess that puts me in my place 😜

I am deeply saddened by reports that the major earthquake that struck off Mindanao in the southern Philippines today has caused damage, including the collapse of buildings.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to all those who lost their lives and to their bereaved families, and my sincere sympathies to all those affected.

Japan stands ready to provide all possible assistance that the Philippines may need, based on local needs.

Japan always stands with the people of the Philippines.

EXCL: Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper scolds Labour colleagues agitating to re-join the EU.

Accusing them of seeking to "turn back the clock", she says: "I don’t think that is the right approach. We had those debates, it was done. We had a referendum. We had a whole long debate for several years afterwards."
