Keanu Reeves, known for his roles in Speed and The Matrix, veers off course during his professional racing debut in Indianapolis.

Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves made his professional motor racing debut at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he briefly spun off the track but avoided crashing. Competing in the Toyota GR Cup on Saturday, the Matrix star slid onto the grass after exiting turn nine, about halfway through the 45-minute race. Despite the setback, Reeves quickly recovered, rejoining the race without injury. Starting in 31st place, Reeves skillfully avoided a first-lap crash at turn 14 and even climbed to 21st before finishing 25th out of 35 drivers. He teamed up with fellow celebrity driver Cody Jones from the Dude Perfect YouTube sports channel. The Toyota GR Cup, a spec-racing series, is part of the lead-up to this weekend's Indy 8 Hour sports car event. Reeves, 60, drove the No. 92 BR...

“Escalation benefits no one”: Sir Keir Starmer urges Israel and Hezbollah to agree to a ceasefire in UN speech

Sir Keir Starmer has urged Israel and Hezbollah to agree to a ceasefire, stating that "escalation serves no one." Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the UK prime minister called on both sides to step back from the escalating conflict and seek peaceful resolution. His plea comes as tensions continue to rise in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently declared that Israeli forces would continue "fighting at full force," dismissing rumors of a ceasefire deal as false. The conflict has shown no signs of de-escalating, prompting global leaders to push for a diplomatic solution. In his address, Sir Keir made a direct appeal to both Israel and Hezbollah, urging them to "stop the violence" and avoid further escalation. His call for peace was...

Parts of the UK are set to be hit by 60mph winds following a week of heavy rain and flooding.

Winds of up to 60mph are expected to hit parts of the UK, potentially causing travel disruption just days after heavy rain led to widespread flooding. The Met Office has issued a yellow rain warning for much of southern England and South Wales, in effect from 4pm on Sunday until 9am on Monday. The warning indicates that further heavy rainfall may result in additional flooding and travel delays. While London has narrowly escaped the yellow warning, the capital is still forecast to experience heavy rain on Monday. In the areas under the weather alert, rainfall between 20-30mm is expected over a period of nine to 12 hours on Sunday, with localized areas on higher ground potentially seeing 50-80mm, according to the Met Office.

Israel launches new strikes on Lebanon following the killing of a Hezbollah leader

On Sunday, Israel launched a series of new strikes on Lebanon, vowing to intensify its campaign against Hezbollah following the assassination of the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in Beirut. Lebanese residents braced for further attacks as the Israeli military issued fresh evacuation orders, including to civilians in southern Beirut. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that despite Nasrallah’s death, Israel’s mission was far from over, pledging to continue its offensive until the balance of power in the Middle East had shifted and around 60,000 northern Israeli residents displaced by a year of cross-border hostilities could safely return home. Israel’s military continued targeting Hezbollah leaders after Nasrallah’s death in a significant strike on Friday in Beirut’s Dah...

Keir Starmer was gifted clothing valued at £16,000.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has received an additional £16,000 worth of clothing from Labour peer Lord Alli, according to reports.

Over 700 migrants made the crossing through the Channel in small boats on Saturday

More than 700 migrants made the perilous journey across the English Channel in 11 small boats yesterday, according to recent government figures. This surge in crossings marks a significant event in the ongoing migration crisis, which has seen thousands of people risk their lives attempting to reach the UK in small, overcrowded boats. The number of crossings, despite numerous interventions and policies aimed at deterring such dangerous journeys, remains a persistent challenge for both the UK and neighboring countries like France. The total number of people crossing the Channel this year is slightly up—by 1%—compared to this time last year. While this may seem like a minor increase, it contrasts sharply with the 20% drop seen compared to the same period in 2022. This fluctuation highli...
