Tom Hardy and Dame Helen Mirren put on a united display at the season two premiere of MobLand in London, but their unusual pose after embracing has been interpreted as something closer to a heavyweight boxing face-off than a warm reunion. The pair appeared together at the Paramount+ crime drama’s world premiere in Leicester Square on Thursday, September 10, following reports of tensions surrounding Hardy’s work on the series. Body language analyst Judi James said the actors’ stance, with their bodies and faces positioned directly opposite one another, resembled “the kind of face-off heavyweight boxers perform as part of their…

Fremantle have made two changes for their cut-throat AFL semi-final against Geelong at Optus Stadium, while the Cats will field an unchanged side as both clubs chase a place in the preliminary finals. Corey Wagner and Judd McVee come into the Dockers’ final 23, replacing Nathan O’Driscoll and the injured Brandon Walker.

A military judge has ordered jury selection to begin on 5 June 2028 for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three alleged co-conspirators accused of plotting the 11 September 2001 attacks, setting a possible trial date nearly 27 years after the atrocities. The proceedings will take place before a military commission at Guantánamo Bay, where the defendants have remained caught in years of pre-trial litigation over evidence, interrogation practices and the legal framework governing their prosecution. Mohammed, widely described by US prosecutors as the principal architect of the attacks, is charged alongside Walid bin Attash, Ammar al-Baluchi – also known as Ali…

Bread Ahead founder Matthew Jones says his bakery at London’s Borough Market has been told to wind down its operations because the business has become “too successful” and expanded internationally. Mr Jones claims the decision could put 83 London jobs at risk and has launched a public appeal to save the flagship site, which includes the bakery’s original shop and baking school. In a statement shared online, he said Borough Market had informed the company that it needed to leave the estate, citing its international franchising as part of the reason. “I thought being successful was the whole reason of…

Nick and Kevin Jonas appeared at a fan event at the MCG without their brother on Thursday, where a recorded message explained why he was absent. “I am in Dubai. I was delayed in London,” Joe said in the video. “I think there was some sort of radar issue so every single flight was delayed and cancelled. So I am staying here until 2:45am.” His brothers told fans that…

Jamie Carragher has questioned whether Michael Carrick has developed a clear enough tactical identity to justify his position as Manchester United manager, despite the strong results which secured him a permanent contract. The former Liverpool defender believes United have become too dependent on counter-attacking football and the individual creativity of Bruno Fernandes, with Carrick’s approach yet to develop beyond a broad return to the attacking traditions associated with Sir Alex Ferguson. Carrick impressed during his interim spell at Old Trafford in the second half of last season before being handed a contract running until 2028. However, Carragher has suggested that…

Fremantle have made two changes for their do-or-die AFL semi-final against Geelong at Optus Stadium, recalling Judd McVee and Corey Wagner as they attempt to keep their premiership campaign alive.
