Hussey died Friday "peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones," a statement posted to her Instagram account said.

Decades later Hussey and Whiting brought a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures alleging sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud over nude scenes in the film. They alleged they were initially told they would wear flesh-colored undergarments in a bedroom scene, but on the day of the shoot Zeffirelli told the pair they would wear only body makeup and the camera would be positioned in a way that would not show nudity. They alleged they were filmed in the nude without their knowledge. The case was dismissed by a Los Angeles County judge in 2023, who found their depiction could not be considered child pornography and the pair filed their claim too late.

That changed abruptly in 1976 when he was cast as the incorrigibly corrupt mayor of the hamlet of Fernwood in “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” a satirical soap opera. He won a Golden Globe for “The Slap Maxwell Story” and an Emmy Award for best supporting actor in Peter Levin’s 1987 small screen legal drama “Sworn to Silence.” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi listens to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, not in photo, during a joint news conference following their meeting at the Presidential palace in Ankara, Turkey, Jan. 24, 2024.

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, an Oscar nominee whose most famous works skewered America’s food industry and who notably ate only at McDonald’s for a month to illustrate the dangers of a fast-food diet, has died of cancer. He was 53. Spurlock made a splash in 2004 with his groundbreaking film “Super Size Me,” and returned in 2019 with “Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!” — a sober look at an industry that processes 9 billion animals a year in America. Spurlock was a gonzo-like filmmaker who leaned into the bizarre and ridiculous. His stylistic touches included zippy graphics and amusing music. Spurlock died May 23. Richard M. Sherman, one half of the prolific, award-winning pair of brothers who helped form millions of childhoods by penning classic Disney tunes, has died. He was 95.

His white shorts were covered in mud at the finish. He was inducted into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1991. He also helped write a book called “In the Long Run.” San Francisco Giants superstar Willie Mays poses for a photo during baseball spring training in 1972. Mays, the electrifying “Say Hey Kid” whose singular combination of talent, drive and exuberance made him one of baseball’s greatest and most beloved players, died June 18. He was 93. The center fielder, who began his professional career in the Negro Leagues in 1948, had been baseball’s oldest living Hall of Famer. He was voted into the Hall in 1979, his first year of eligibility, and in 1999 followed only Babe Ruth on The Sporting News’ list of the game’s top stars. The Giants retired his uniform number, 24, and set their AT&T Park in San Francisco on Willie Mays Plaza. Mays died two days before a game between the Giants and St. Louis Cardinals to honor the Negro Leagues at Rickwood Field in Birmingham , Alabama. Over 23 major league seasons, virtually all with the New York/San Francisco Giants but also including one in the Negro Leagues, Mays batted .301, hit 660 home runs, totaled 3,293 hits, scored more than 2,000 runs and won 12 Gold Gloves. He was Rookie of the Year in 1951, twice was named the Most Valuable Player and finished in the top 10 for the MVP 10 other times. His lightning sprint and over-the-shoulder grab of an apparent extra base hit in the 1954 World Series remains the most celebrated defensive play in baseball history. For millions in the 1950s and ’60s and after, the smiling ballplayer with the friendly, high-pitched voice was a signature athlete and showman during an era when baseball was still the signature pastime. Awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2015, Mays left his fans with countless memories. But a single feat served to capture his magic — one so untoppable it was simply called “The Catch.” Actor Donald Sutherland appears Oct. 13, 2017, at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, Calif. Sutherland, the Canadian actor whose wry, arrestingly off-kilter screen presence spanned more than half a century of films from “M.A.S.H.” to “The Hunger Games,” died June 20. He was 88. Kiefer Sutherland said on X he believed his father was one of the most important actors in the history of film: “Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that.” The tall and gaunt Sutherland, who flashed a grin that could be sweet or diabolical, was known for offbeat characters like Hawkeye Pierce in Robert Altman's "M.A.S.H.," the hippie tank commander in "Kelly's Heroes" and the stoned professor in "Animal House." Before transitioning into a long career as a respected character actor, Sutherland epitomized the unpredictable, antiestablishment cinema of the 1970s. He never stopped working, appearing in nearly 200 films and series. Over the decades, Sutherland showed his range in more buttoned-down — but still eccentric — roles in Robert Redford's "Ordinary People" and Oliver Stone's "JFK." More, recently, he starred in the “Hunger Games” films. A memoir, “Made Up, But Still True,” is due out in November. Actor Bill Cobbs, a cast member in "Get Low," arrives July 27, 2010, at the premiere of the film in Beverly Hills, Calif. Cobbs, the veteran character actor who became a ubiquitous and sage screen presence as an older man, died June 25. He was 90. A Cleveland native, Cobbs acted in such films as “The Hudsucker Proxy,” “The Bodyguard” and “Night at the Museum.” He made his first big-screen appearance in a fleeting role in 1974's “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three." He became a lifelong actor with some 200 film and TV credits. The lion share of those came in his 50s, 60s, and 70s, as filmmakers and TV producers turned to him again and again to imbue small but pivotal parts with a wizened and worn soulfulness. Cobbs appeared on television shows including “The Sopranos," “The West Wing,” “Sesame Street” and “Good Times.” He was Whitney Houston's manager in “The Bodyguard” (1992), the mystical clock man of the Coen brothers' “The Hudsucker Proxy” (1994) and the doctor of John Sayles' “Sunshine State” (2002). He played the coach in “Air Bud” (1997), the security guard in “Night at the Museum” (2006) and the father on “The Gregory Hines Show." Cobbs rarely got the kinds of major parts that stand out and win awards. Instead, Cobbs was a familiar and memorable everyman who left an impression on audiences, regardless of screen time. He won a Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding limited performance in a daytime program for the series “Dino Dana” in 2020. Independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman speaks with the media Nov. 7, 2009, at his campaign headquarters in Austin, Texas. The singer, songwriter, satirist and novelist, who led the alt-country band Texas Jewboys, toured with Bob Dylan, sang with Willie Nelson, and dabbled in politics with campaigns for Texas governor and other statewide offices, died June 27. He was 79 and had suffered from Parkinson's disease. Often called “The Kinkster" and sporting sideburns, a thick mustache and cowboy hat, Friedman earned a cult following and reputation as a provocateur throughout his career across musical and literary genres. In the 1970s, his satirical country band Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys wrote songs with titles such as “They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore” and “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in Bed.” Friedman joined part of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour in 1976. By the 1980s, Friedman was writing crime novels that often included a version of himself, and he wrote a column for Texas Monthly magazine in the 2000s. Friedman's run at politics brought his brand of irreverence to the serious world of public policy. In 2006, Friedman ran for governor as an independent in a five-way race that included incumbent Republican Rick Perry. Friedman launched his campaign against the backdrop of the Alamo. Martin Mull participates in "The Cool Kids" panel during the Fox Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour on Aug. 2, 2018, at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Mull, whose droll, esoteric comedy and acting made him a hip sensation in the 1970s and later a beloved guest star on sitcoms including “Roseanne” and “Arrested Development,” died June 28. He was 80. Mull, who was also a guitarist and painter, came to national fame with a recurring role on the Norman Lear-created satirical soap opera “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” and the starring role in its spinoff, “Fernwood Tonight." His first foray into show business was as a songwriter, penning the 1970 semi-hit “A Girl Named Johnny Cash” for singer Jane Morgan. He would combine music and comedy in an act that he brought to hip Hollywood clubs in the 1970s. Mull often played slightly sleazy, somewhat slimy and often smarmy characters as he did as Teri Garr's boss and Michael Keaton's foe in 1983's “Mr. Mom.” He played Colonel Mustard in the 1985 movie adaptation of the board game “Clue,” which, like many things Mull appeared in, has become a cult classic. The 1980s also brought what many thought was his best work, “A History of White People in America,” a mockumentary that first aired on Cinemax. Mull co-created the show and starred as a “60 Minutes” style investigative reporter investigating all things milquetoast and mundane. Willard was again a co-star. In the 1990s he was best known for his recurring role on several seasons on “Roseanne,” in which he played a warmer, less sleazy boss to the title character, an openly gay man whose partner was played by Willard, who died in 2020 . Mull would later play private eye Gene Parmesan on “Arrested Development,” a cult-classic character on a cult-classic show, and would be nominated for an Emmy, his first, in 2016 for a guest run on “Veep.” Screenwriter Robert Towne poses at The Regency Hotel, March 7, 2006, in New York.

He was elected to a fifth Senate term in 2020 and stepped down in early 2023.

A Philadelphia native and resident of Hendersonville, Tennessee, Bonsall joined the Oak Ridge Boys in 1973, which originally formed in the 1940s. He saw the band through its golden period in the '80s and beyond, which included their signature 1981 song “Elvira.” The hit marked a massive crossover moment for the group, reaching No. 1 on the country chart and No. 5 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100. The group is also known for such hits as 1982’s “Bobbie Sue." Shelley Duvall poses for photographers at the 30th Cannes Film Festival in France, May 27, 1977.

(AP) — The New York Giants organization got exactly what it deserved in getting blown out by Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants were embarrassed in Sunday's 30-7 loss , taunted by Mayfield after a touchdown run just before halftime. And then they saw their fans walk out on them again when the Bucs extended their lead to 30-0 and sent New York (2-9) to its sixth straight loss. The losing streak is the longest for the Giants since 2019, when they dropped a franchise-record nine straight games to finish 4-12. That led to the firing of coach Pat Shurmur after two seasons. Third-year coach Brian Daboll is clearly in trouble, with the Giants guaranteed a second straight losing season. They were 6-11 in a 2023 season that featured a lot of injuries. Daboll, who denies he has lost the team, isn't the only one whose job is in jeopardy. General manager Joe Schoen is on the hot seat and so is this entire franchise, which is celebrating its 100th year. It's one thing to lose. It's quite another to give up, and that's what the organization did when it decided to bench Daniel Jones a week ago and then release him on Friday after the 27-year-old asked co-owner John Mara to let him walk away. While he wasn't playing well, Jones was the Giants' best quarterback. He gave them more a of chance to win than either Tommy DeVito or Drew Lock. Removing him from the picture was all but certain to make the Giants worse, even if it was a good business decision. If Jones was hurt and unable the pass his physical before the 2025 season, the team would have been on the hook for a $23 million cap hit. The problem is the players care about now. By getting rid of Jones and elevating DeVito to the starting role, the front office was telling the team it didn't care about winning with seven games left in the season. So the players gave a lackluster effort. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence called the team soft. Rookie receiver Malik Nabers said he was sick of losing. Left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said he saw a lack of effort by some players. What they all were saying was they were angry at being betrayed. Money is never more important than winning, and the Giants made that mistake. At this point in the season? Nothing. The offense once again. The Giants have scored a league-low 163 points, including only 60 in six games at MetLife Stadium, where they are winless this season. They have scored in double figures at home twice. Daboll's team has been held scoreless in the first half in three of 11 games and it has been held without a first-half touchdown seven times. Daboll said he will continue to call the offensive plays. S Tyler Nubin. The rookie has had a team-high 12 tackles in each of the last two games. His 81 tackles for the season are just two behind team leader Bobby Okereke. RB Tyrone Tracy. The rookie leads Giants running backs with 587 yards on 116 carries — a 5.1-yard average for the fifth-round pick. But holding onto the ball has been a big issue. Tracy's fumble in overtime cost New York a chance to win in Germany against Carolina. He also lost the ball in the third quarter at the Bucs 5-yard line with New York down 23-0. It earned him a seat on the bench. LT Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) and OLB Azeez Ojulari (toe) left Sunday's game in the first quarter. Chris Hubbard filled in at tackle and the Giants luckily got back DL Kayvon Thibodeaux this past week after he missed five games with a broken wrist. DeVito was banged up but Daboll expects him to start against the Cowboys. 10 — The Giants have gone 10 consecutive games without an interception, tying the NFL record held by the 1976-77 San Francisco 49ers and the 2017 Oakland — now Las Vegas — Raiders. The Giants and Raiders now share the single-season mark. A national showcase on Thanksgiving Day for the NFC-worst Giants at Dallas. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Australia only have to point to recent history to know not to be disheartened by their opening night 2-1 loss to Argentina in the United Cup. Alex de Minaur notched the only victory against Argentina, the world No 9 putting on a devastating display to beat Tomas Etcheverry 6-1, 6-4 at Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena in 75 minutes. His win squared the tie after Nadia Podoroska beat Olivia Gadecki 6-2, 6-4 in Saturday’s women’s singles earlier. Olympic doubles gold medallist Matthew Ebden and Ellen Perez had to finish off the job in the mixed doubles against Etcheverry and Maria Carle - who came in for Podoroska - but instead lost 6-2, 6-4. Australian captain Lleyton Hewitt is taking little out of their defeat, having also endured a first-round loss last year before scraping their way to the quarter-finals. His team returns to action on New Year’s Day when they face a Great Britain outfit including Billy Harris and de Minaur’s fiancee Katie Boulter. “We’ll give ourselves every chance,” Hewitt said. Cheered on by a boisterous home crowd in the second, the 22-year-old looked ready to mount a comeback after going ahead 4-3 but was ultimately undone by her errors in the 88-minute contest. “All we can do is prepare as well as possible. We’ve got three days off now as well so it’s really just trying to prepare,” said Hewitt. “No matter what happens though, it’s great preparation for these guys going into the Australian Open.” In his singles match, Sydney local de Minaur claimed the first set against Etcheverry within 28 minutes and sent the near-capacity crowd rocking with every point earned. Etcheverry took four hard-earned games in the second set after finding his rhythm, but de Minaur prevailed with great precision.

Cheered on by a boisterous home crowd in the second, the 22-year-old looked ready to mount a comeback after launching ahead 4-3 but was ultimately undone by her errors in the 88-minute contest. “I thought Olivia got better as the match went on,” Hewitt said. “If we could have snuck out the second set and taken it to a deciding, I think she would have got better throughout the third set.” The scoreline was the same as when Gadecki last met Podoroska at this year’s Indian Wells Open. Gadecki is the nation’s only woman to gain direct entry to the Australian Open, having reached the world’s top 100 with a career-best run to the Guadalajara Open final in September.

The £1.2 billion fund, backed by billionaire Peter Hargreaves, has delivered a total return of 162 per cent since launching in September 2017 – equivalent to an annual return of more than 14 per cent, net of fees. Yet Yiu is not resting on his laurels. His aspiration is to deliver annual returns of 15 per cent, although not in a straight line. Though running a tight portfolio, comprising just 26 global stocks and one which remains fully invested at all times, Yiu is not frightened to make big calls. Unlike some global fund managers, Blue Whale Growth is light on the 'magnificent seven' US stocks – big drivers of the US stock market in recent years – and big on 'idiosyncratic' companies which he believes have businesses capable of withstanding any economic slowdown or sharp market corrections. Currently, the fund only holds shares in magnificent seven stocks Nvidia (8 per cent), Meta (3 per cent) and Microsoft (1.5 per cent). 'We do not own Alphabet, Amazon, Apple or Tesla,' says Yiu. 'In effect, we are overweight in Nvidia and short on the other magnificent six.' This time last year, the respective holdings in Nvidia, Meta and Microsoft were 9, 4 and 8 per cent. Yiu's view is that the 'narrative could change' next year for the magnificent seven – chipmaker Nvidia excepted – as revenues are eroded by vast expenditure on artificial intelligence (AI). This, he says, could lead to corrections in their share prices and a 'year of reckoning' for funds that track the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, of which the big technology stocks are a key component.

Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP How to choose the best (and cheapest) stocks and shares Isa and the right DIY investing account Unlike active funds such as Blue Whale Growth, such tracker or passive funds cannot reduce their exposure to the big tech giants ahead of any sell-off. 'They must hold the S&P 500,' he says. 'Maybe, next year, we could see a rejuvenation of investor interest in active funds generally.' Blue Whale Growth has exposure to the AI theme beyond the magnificent seven. It has key holdings in US companies Broadcom (its biggest holding) and Vertiv. 'Broadcom,' says Yiu, 'could be the new Nvidia in terms of outperforming the rest of the market.' Yet Yiu also has big stakes in companies that he describes as 'idiosyncratic' – businesses that should grow irrespective of the prevailing economic conditions. Among them is US-listed sports betting and gaming company Flutter which Yiu says is on a 'great journey' as more American states legalise sports gambling. 'American consumers like their sport and their gambling,' he adds. Other idiosyncratic holdings include German company Sartorius and US-listed Danaher, both making waves in bioprocessing. There is also US tobacco stock Philip Morris which has diversified into nicotine pouches and smoke-free alternatives to conventional cigarettes. Blue Whale Growth's success means, provided the fund finishes the year above £1billion, it will rebate one per cent of its annual management charge to investors. Most investors in this fund pay an annual management charge of 0.75 per cent, so the rebate will drop this fee to 0.7425 per cent. It will be cut by another one per cent if – 'when' (Yiu's word) – the fund gets to £2 billion. While three-quarters of the fund's assets are exposed to US-listed shares, only 40 per cent of the revenues generated by all the holdings are from the US.

London - The third season of HBO’s hit TV series “The White Lotus” will premiere in February, followed months later by the second instalment of “The Last of Us”, Warner Bros. Discovery said Thursday. Unveiling its upcoming global programming slate, HBO and Max streaming service CEO Casey Bloys also confirmed the much-anticipated “Game of Thrones” prequel “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is set for release later next year. Beyond that, the first “Harry Potter” television series -- announced last year and currently in casting -- is scheduled to start filming in mid-2025 at Warner Bros.’s Leavesden studios in the UK, Bloys said. With the mega-selling books author JK Rowling among its executive producers, it is envisaged as “a decade-long series” featuring a new cast from the films. “Succession” director and executive producer Mark Mylod revealed at the London announcement event that the casting team were currently reviewing 32,000 submissions for kids’ roles. “We will watch every one,” Mylod said, adding the team were currently reviewing between 500 and 1,000 tapes daily. They then hope to “workshop with some of our shortlisted candidates” in January. He noted they took following the “extraordinary actors” from the films “incredibly seriously”. “But we do follow the ethos of the films in searching out the cream of British acting talent, not necessarily the biggest stars,” he added. Artists abandon Abidjan for Ivory Coast beachside haven Rowling has faced accusations of transphobia in recent years for putting an emphasis on biological sex over gender identity in comments about trans women. She denies the accusation. Asked if he was worried her involvement in the production could prove problematic, Bloys said he was “not concerned”. Tags: white lotus season

The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .STEPPING through the doors of the UK's strictest pub offers an instant trip back in time - before punters paid more attention to their texts than fellow drinkers. Kevin Moran, 84, landlord of The Nag’s Head on Kinnerton Street in London for about 42 years, operates a strict no phones policy. No children are allowed through the doors, and apparently hogging the fire is deemed a bar-worthy offence. Other strict rules include no coats draped on chairs, no swearing, and no turning up drunk. With just a sip left of my pint, Kevin told me I was hogging the fire, despite the fact he too was standing in front of its warming flame. He added that it was normal to receive a telling off for hogging the fire for too long as he grew up alongside his six brothers. READ MORE ON UK NEWS In the lead up to being invited to leave, I'd had a somewhat pleasant time in The Nag's Head. Aside from the £15 minimum card machine spend, that is, which meant a trip to the nearby ATM. The day before my visit, I phoned Kevin to ask if the rumours he was the UK's strictest landlord were true. He grumbled: “So what are you calling me for then?" and hung up the phone. Most read in The Sun The Nag's Head, down a quiet, picturesque road, was once a boozer for the stable hands and footmen who worked nearby. Built around the 1800s it received a resurgence in the 1950s. On either side of the pub's front room are two narrow wooden staircases. One leading to an upstairs bar, while another leads down into another seating area. I greeted Kevin and after some negotiations, which included being told to put my phone away, I asked about the collection of beers on tap. He pointed to each beer and bellowed "Lager. Lager. Ale. Guinness." and so on. I thanked him for his generous explanation and ordered his finest IPA. Then I was warned cash wasn't an option, with the card machine boasting a hefty minimum spend. Kevin explained he chooses the beers on tap and then passed me a beer guide which he features in. He was kind enough to let me sit at my table with it. In my cosy corner near the fire, Kevin pointed to a hook for me to hang my coat, politely, I would add. But this wasn't the same reception I saw another customer receive. Looking around, it’s clear to see the pub is Kevin’s pride and joy - with war memorabilia covering every inch of the walls. In reference to a TripAdvisor review, I asked Kevin why children aren’t allowed in. He produced a loud wailing sound and said “no one wants to hear that”. Kevin then took a small glass of stout to the fire and watched the room omnisciently. He isn’t just a pub landlord, whether you like it or not, he is part of the furniture. Although there was only a handful of customers, conversations felt open to the floor, with Kevin chipping in occasionally. Be it to remind you of a rule or to provide you with a coin to try one of his vintage coin-operated arcade games. You could spend hours in this pub, studying each picture, medal, and ornament which Kevin can provide a whole backstory for. But it's not for everyone. If you’re looking for a family friendly boozer, to speak privately with a friend, or even to sip a pint while scrolling on social media, it's not for you. This is Kevin's pub and Kevin's rules. As a former squaddie, he told The Sun: "I was a miner in Durham aged 14 and we used to to to pubs and working men's clubs where you weren't interrupted by people on phones." He adds that phones could be an "invasion of privacy" for his customers, especially if pictures are taken. There are exceptions, with tourists usually allowed to take photos if they ask, but it's up to Kevin if he lets them. He said: "I make the rules and I don't have to give you a reason. It's my rules and my pub." Learned from his Army days, stationed in Germany and Scandinavia during the Cold War, he finds discipline lacking from many modern punters. He said: "Coming in drunk I think is ridiculous... discipline is worse today than when I went into the pub game 50 years ago." Another reason is carrying on the tradition of the "real English pub" because, having travelled the world, he knows "you don't get them anywhere else". He loves that The Nag's Head is "still a pub", in contrast to its chain-owned competitors. The publican said: "It's about independence. I think I've done well to achieve that in central London. "You go to Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and the pubs are all big company owned so you get the same thing. There's nobody who tells you that you're a bit ugly or that you're a handsome sod." Kevin says he won’t be retiring any time soon. He mentioned his sons, so perhaps he’ll pass the mantle to them at some point. No phones No children £15 minimum card spend but prefers cash No swearing No turning up drunk Hang your coat on the hooks provided After I left the pub, I spoke with a few customers. Karl and Leigh, visiting from Kent, had been drinking while I was in the pub - I'd spotted Kevin tell the couple to hang their coats up. Leigh said: “I put my coat on the table and he told me to put it on the hook. But I think he’s [Kevin] very old school, very very old school.” Karl said: “Same, if you put your coat on the stool, you have to put it on the hook. He’s an old man isn’t he, he’s stuck in his ways.” But the couple would gladly visit again. Two brothers, visiting from Scotland, shared what they thought. David said: “My brother took his phone out and he wasn’t very happy about that but apart from that it’s a nice, normal pub, it’s quite quiet and yeah it’s just a nice place. “Probably quite unusual nowadays, with the phone thing, and there’s no TV but it’s good though, I enjoyed it.” “We’re just visiting London for a couple of days and someone told us about it. It’s a nice pub, I’d definitely go back.” Later on in the evening, I came across The Nag’s Head’s neighbours. Emma, who works next door, said: “We have a good relationship with the pub owners and we’ll definitely go in and have a few drinks on a Friday and a Thursday evening usually. “But we just respect and appreciate the fact they have the rules and we adhere to them. “I haven’t had a negative experience there. Everyone’s really friendly, we often hear chit chats outside because we’re just next door, but it’s all good.” Meanwhile, standing just outside the pub were two happy customers. Ella, from Blackpool said: “I’m a northerner and I love it. I think it's so cute but we have a Nag’s Head in Manchester - rough and ready, this is very cute and quaint. The guy is lovely." While Imi, a local, said: “The no phones thing I see and I actually think it’s a really good idea.” READ MORE SUN STORIES Ella added: “I respect the no phones thing because people are trying to enjoy the environment and obviously you being on your phone isn’t very sociable.” And Imi laughed: “I like it, I think it’s a good thing to enforce and there’s so many pubs in London, if you don’t like it, go somewhere else.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ third bid to be released on bail won’t be decided until next weekSmith & Nephew chief Deepak Nath in 'last chance saloon' By JESSICA CLARK Updated: 21:50 GMT, 28 December 2024 e-mail View comments Smith & Nephew's boss has been warned that he is in the 'last chance saloon' and must turn the company around. Activist investors have given Deepak Nath, the US-based chief executive of the medical equipment giant, two months to demonstrate improvements. Shareholders have run out of patience with the pace of his strategy, The Mail on Sunday understands. They will pressure Nath to resign in the New Year unless he proves that the FTSE 100 firm has made operational improvements by the time that the company's full-year results are announced in February. Smith & Nephew, founded in Hull in 1856, develops technology for surgeries such as repairing soft tissue injuries and degenerative joint conditions. It is chaired by Rupert Soames, 65, who is the former boss of outsourcer Serco and is Sir Winston Churchill's grandson. Borrowed time: Deepak Nath Smith & Nephew is made up of three divisions: sports medicine, wound management, and orthopaedics. Its sports medicine and wound management arms are both considered to be the second best in the world for those specialisms.However, investors have lobbied for a shake-up in the orthopaedics division. Shareholders also want the company to slash central costs and overhaul its troubled Chinese business. Shares in the company are down nearly 7 per cent this year and have tumbled 42 per cent in the past five years. Overall profit margins are around 17 per cent – much lower than at its competitors, which include Johnson & Johnson and Stryker. The company's largest shareholder is asset manager BlackRock with 5 per cent, while activist hedge funds Cevian Capital and Harris Associates are also top-ten holders. Cevian has not made its intentions for Smith & Nephew public, but under founder Christer Gardell, it has developed a fearsome reputation. The hedge fund is best known for its role in trying to split up German steel giant ThyssenKrupp back in 2018. Ulrich Lehner, ThyssenKrupp chairman at the time, accused the activist investors involved of 'psycho-terror' tactics to force the resignation of several senior executives. Dan Coatsworth, an investment analyst at investment platform AJ Bell said: 'Investors are notoriously impatient and time is running out for Smith & Nephew chief Deepak Nath to provide evidence that the current turnaround programme is the right one. 'The longer Smith & Nephew's share price stays weak, the greater the likelihood that Nath's days are numbered.' RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Smith & Nephew chairman Rupert Soames fires back at investor... Break-up bombshell rocks Smith & Nephew Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP How to choose the best (and cheapest) stocks and shares Isa and the right DIY investing account Smith & Nephew has seen fast chief executive turnover, notching up four bosses in five years. Nath was hired in April 2022 to replace Roland Diggelmann, who left by 'mutual agreement' after less than three years. A former Siemens executive, Nath launched a plan to attempt to boost shareholder value, but investors have been unimpressed with the results. Some 43 per cent opposed a plan to raise his pay to more than £9 million at the company's annual meeting this year amid disappointment at his performance. But it is understood that the high chief executive salary could be beneficial in attracting Nath's successor if he is ousted. A Smith & Nephew spokeswoman said: 'Over the last two years, we have delivered revenue growth significantly above historical levels and increased profitability. There is clear momentum across the business, with sharper operational and commercial execution, including returning US hip and knee implants to growth. We are totally focused on delivering shareholder value.'

The Bell Capital Cup continued Saturday with even more teams making their debut appearances. The U13 AA Karawanken Bears from Austria were on the ice at the Nepean Sportsplex early Saturday morning. The team also consists of players from Slovenia and Croatia. It was a full-day trip for the players and their parents, who came out in support, but for Skyler Furey, the trip isn't unfamiliar. Furey's parents were both born in Canada but now live in Austria where he also resides. While his parents were unable to make the trip to Ottawa, his grandfather, who lives in the city, was at the game supporting him. "It's nice to come back to Canada once in a while," Furey said. "We battled really good and it was a tough game." The Bears defeated the Cumberland Jr. Grads 5-3. A few hours later, the Greater Bay Tigers stepped onto the ice. The team consisting of players from Hong Kong, Southern China and Taiwan, got their first taste of action in the tournament. Most of the players arrived in the city days before the event due to travel times. Tigers owner Gregory Smyth says he cherishes being able to come back to Canada and see his team competing against the best. "It's an eye opener, to see how good the hockey is," Smyth said. "We're competitive too, and I think that's probably an eye opener for some of the local teams here as well because these kids can skate, shoot and pass. They did well today." Smyth says the team has enjoyed the festivities during the opening ceremonies at Hockey Fest and are treating the boys to a couple of World Junior games in the city, including Canada versus the United States on New Years Eve. More international teams also got underway today including many from the United States and the defending Division A champions from Slovenia, who played a friendly game in Rockland. The tournament runs until Dec. 31. Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News. We may earn a commission when you use our links to shop. Read about us.
