Scottish-born Scott, 33, was taking part in a luxury supercar rally in Barcelona alongside his partner when disaster struck.

Two crooks took advantage of standstill traffic to whizz past the row of pricey motors on an electric scooter and pick an unsuspecting target.

Footage shows how one of the thieves went up to the Lambo Aventador – which can do 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds – and appeared to ask to take a picture of the car.

As he leaned in to get the snap he started to speak to Scott before gesturing for what looked like a high-five.

Seconds later, the man grabbed at Scott’s arm and managed to remove his watch in one quick movement.

He then hopped on the back of his accomplices scooter who was waiting on the other side of the road just feet away.

The pair sped away as a desperate Scott tried to chase after them in his supercar only to find himself boxed in due to the traffic.

Scott, who now lives in Dubai, was taking part in the Modball Rally in Spain on Monday, June 23.

Simone, from Germany, said they reported the theft to the police after failing to track down the culprits.

She said: “My partner went to all the nearby shops and cafes to ask for CCTV images on the same day but nobody helped him.”

After a gruelling day, the couple finally found some evidence to help as an onlooker had filmed the entire altercation.

They sent the footage to cops who are now investigating the theft.

Simone, 28, added: “We posted it on social media to put pressure on the Spanish police and maybe get some information.

“But unfortunately, there hasn’t been any update.”

The TikTok post has already gained over six million views with thousand sof comments.

It follows a growing concern over street crime in Barcelona.

At the start of May, footage captured the moment a thief was wrestled to the ground and placed into a suffocating chokehold by a tourist after he tried to nick his camera.

The suspected robber picked the wrong target – as the brave photographer managed to floor the man and submit him with ease.

Last August, British sailing legend Sir Ben Ainslie was robbed at knifepoint for his £17,000 Rolex in Barcelona.

Ainslie, 47, recalled the horrifying ordeal as a gang mugged him as he went out for a meal.

The Olympian was the second athlete to be targeted after Barcelona FC star Robert Lewandowski was forced to chase a thief who stole his £59,000 watch as he signed autographs in 2022.

Before an evening training session, the Poland striker stopped to greet fans outside the club’s Ciutat Esportiva complex.

But one crafty thief used the distraction to open Lewandowski’s car door and make off with the high-end timepiece.

A SECRETIVE Russian “killer satellite” deployed in space was detected launching another mysterious flying object near a US spacecraft.

Kosmos-2558 is a Russian military satellite that is currently on an orbital path which is suspiciously close to USA-326 – an American spy satellite.

The 14F150 Nivelir-type satellite was deployed into a Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) – and has presumably been stalking the US space asset since 2022.

It is believed to have the capacity to constantly monitor enemy spy satellites and potentially shoot them down if needed.

Space program researchers have now detected a new object that appeared to have separated from the Russian inspector satellite on June 26.

The new flying object, named 2025-089C or simply Object C, appeared to be a subsatellite that was launched by Kosmos-2558.

 It was filmed on 28 June 2025 from Leiden, the Netherlands, using a powerful astronomy camera.

The clip shows Kosmos 2558 passing through the frame.

Just 16 seconds later, Object C can be seen moving in the same direction but on a different orbit.

It is believed that Object C is a highly manoeuvrable sub-satellite with onboard high-speed kinetic anti-satellite weapons.

Two earlier Russian satellites of the same type, Kosmos-2519 and 2542, also released subsatellites, which were designated Cosmos-2521 and 2543.

Bart Hendrickx, a long-time space researcher and Russian space program expert, wrote in his blog: “Both of those [Russian] satellites showed significant manoeuvring capability and each fired a high-speed projectile that was interpreted by the Pentagon as an anti-satellite weapon.

“This happened when they were flying in the vicinity of other Russian satellites.”

Last year, Putin launched a terrifying weapon system into space capable of killing other satellites.

The Pentagon said that the Russian counter-space weapon was put into the “same orbit” as a US government satellite – and is likely tracking the space device already.

The Russian space object believed to be Cosmos-2576 was launched on May 16 on a Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket from Russia’s Plesetsk Cosmodrome, some 497 miles north of Moscow.

It is now following American spy satellite USA 314, operated by the US National Reconnaissance Office.

An unofficial Russian source claimed the launch carried a “secret military device”.

While it was previously reported as a Russian space satellite, the US has now warned it could be a counter-space weapon capable of attacking other such tech.

Pentagon spokesman Brig Gen Pat Ryder said: “Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that we assess is likely a counter-space weapon.

“It was deployed into the same orbit as a US government satellite and assessments further indicate characteristics resembling previously deployed counter space payloads from 2019 and 2022.”

“We will continue to monitor the situation … we have a responsibility to be ready to protect and defend the space domain and ensure continuous and uninterrupted support to the joint and combined force.”

Russia’s Roskosmos state space agency said the launch was “in the interests of the defence ministry of the Russian Federation”.

In 2023, US intelligence chiefs warned that Russia is planning to launch nukes into space that would destroy satellites in a “grave” threat to the world’s security.

Military experts have warned that Putin would take the “suicidal” decision to launch the deadly weapons if he felt his grip on power was being threatened by Ukraine and the West.

Mad despot Putin has already tested orbital weapons designed for blasting Western kits – such as the anti-satellite weapon, Cosmos 2543.

Manager Danny Rohl is negotiating his exit[/caption]

Many more could follow him out of the exit door with Wednesday players able to hand in a 15-day notice period.

That is because the senior team have not been paid for a second month in a row, according to The Guardian.

Players will be able to terminate their contracts in 15 days time if they are not paid the money they are owed.

Manager Danny Rohl is also in discussions over his exit, with the German failing to show up for pre-season.

It is understood Under-21s players have received their June salaries, with the club offering an apology to first-team players who still have not been paid.

The club has pledged to pay them in full but did not specify when this would be.

Even if the players are paid within the 15-day period, the club could still face EFL sanctions.

The EFL could refer Wednesday to an independent commission and possible punishments include a transfer embargo, fine and points deduction.

Players have returned for pre-season training, which is being overseen by U21 boss Andy Holdsworth.

Rohl’s staff are also out of contract and are expected to leave.

Another club legend Liam Palmer has also seen his contract expire, along with Callum Paterson, Nathaniel Chalobah, Svante Ingelsson and Akin Famewo.

Fans have urged Wednesday boss Dejphon Chansiri and although he is open to a sale, offers from two US consortiums have been deemed insufficient.

IRISH holidaymakers have been sent a major warning as three popular getaway spots have been issued red alert heatwave warnings.

While Ireland is coming out on the other side of a scorching few days, three European destinations are still in the midst of one.

Parts of France will sizzle at 43C[/caption]

France, Spain and Croatia are all set to see near record breaking levels of heat in the coming days.

Meteorologists at Carlow Weather took to social media to share the news.

Posting on Facebook, they said: “While Ireland has fresher weather today many parts of Europe continue to see a heatwave.

“Some red warnings today Tuesday for high temperatures in parts of France, Germany and Croatia.

“A hot day to be queueing in Disneyland Paris if you happen to be there!“

Spain is set to experience the highest temperatures, with searing 42C expected to hit parts of the country.

The regions of Andalusia and Extremadura are likely to be worst hit as they are on the south west coast.

Weather bosses have predicted temperatures from 40C to 43C will plague the regions.

And the area is home to some of Spain’s most popular holiday destinations including Cordoba, Seville, Malaga and Cadiz.

Meanwhile in France, temperatures across the country are set to sit anywhere between 21C to 40C.

The majority of the country, including capital city Paris, will be engulfed by 38C heat.

Meanwhile northern coastal areas in Brittany and Normandy will see more bearable temperatures of 21C.

And in Croatia, temperatures will climb as high as 40C in some areas.

While the east of the country will be 34C on average, the west of the country will sizzle at anywhere from 35CF to 40C.

Spanish meteorologists at the country’s Met Office, AEMET, said the month of June was as hot as an average July or August.

They said on X: “The average temperature in June 2025 (23.6 °C) is higher than the normal average for July and August (23.1 °C and 23 °C, respectively).

“This is the first time this has happened.

“If a July or August had an average temperature of 23.6 °C, its character would be warm.”

Irish holidaymakers could find themselves disappointed when they experience the insane heat levels.

It is likely that many will spend much of their time indoors while abroad to escape the unbearable heat.

Visitors have been advised to follow the guidelines of local authorities while in affected areas.

A SAVVY woman has been able to extend her home without needing any planning permission.

Sarah, from the UK, decided to buy herself a cheap caravan to create an extra room for her house instead of doing an extension.

Sarah transformed this old stinky caravan she bought off Facebook Marketplace[/caption]

Despite having no previous experience, she transformed it into a luxe spare room[/caption]

Taking to social media, Sarah revealed that she purchased a pre-loved 1970s caravan from Facebook Marketplace for just £300.

She said: “It only cost me 300 quid but it smelled really bad.

“Practically everything was broken. But I could still see the potential, even though I could smell urine.”

Sarah got to work over the next week chucking out the old interiors and giving it a spruce-up.

The foldable caravan was in dire shape when she got it, even the brakes had rusted and fallen out, but it didn’t put her off.

The benches inside the caravan were just as bad, in fact, they couldn’t even be sat on as there was nothing to let them hold weight.

“Things often fell on me and at times I couldn’t tell if it was going to be any good, because at some points it actually looked worse than it did at the beginning,” she added.

“I’d pretty much trashed it. And somehow I also managed to trash my parents’ garden in the process.”

Sarah was almost ready to give up on the transformation but after being encouraged by her TikTok followers managed to pull through.

And it seems to have paid off, the caravan looked incredible once she was done.

People were floored by her skills[/caption]

She stuck with the 1970s theme, using a mix of warm woods and orange hues inside.

She was able to fix the benches with some extra foam from Dunelm and some curtains from Home Sense that she stapled onto the seats.

Sarah ripped out the floor and used some vinyl flooring for a more modern touch before adding a lick of coral paint to the walls.

For final touches, she added a wooden scalloped table, a 70s-style mushroom lamp and some rattan storage.

She finished the video saying: “I never in a million years thought I’d be capable of doing all of this work myself.”

The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @imtheproblem with over 72k views and people were quick to praise her DIY skills.

One person wrote: “You’ve done a stellar job. It’s a dream caravan.”

Another commented: “Caravan goals, seriously.”

“Looks fab, great job and I love the lamp,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “Wow, this is such a beautiful glow up!”

“That looks absolutely stunning! You’ve done an amazing job,” claimed a fifth

Someone else added: “I’m suitably impressed.”
