TADHG BEIRNE could not disguise his frustration after leading the Lions to an underwhelming victory over Waratahs.

Scotland centre Huw Jones crossed twice as the tourists were forced to battle hard in grinding past a second-string Tahs side in Sydney.

But it was less than convincing against a side — missing a slew of Australia players — that had lost five of their last six Super Rugby games.

Ireland lock Beirne was switched to blindside flanker after England’s Henry Pollock was pulled from the XV with a tight calf. Scott Cummings came into the second row.

And Lions skipper Beirne said: “A lot of dropped balls, a lot of turnovers, the ball was a bit slippery out there.

“It was a bit frustrating in terms of not being very clinical.

“That cohesiveness we’re looking for wasn’t probably there, so that’s the most frustrating part.

“We probably lacked physicality. That’s something we’re going to have to look at.”

After scoring 16 tries and 106 points in their opening two games, the Lions lacked invention and physical presence, missing rested playmaker Finn Russell and regular skipper Maro Itoje.

They took a 14-5 lead into the break, but it was a mediocre first half, with too many mistakes and poor decision-making.

Waratahs captain Hugh Sinclair said: “The game was scrappy. The Lions would be disappointed by that but we showed they’re beatable.

“They’re 15 blokes on a field, put some pressure on and things can happen.”

POLICE have released an image of a man they would like to speak to after a young boy was allegedly sexually assaulted on a tram.

The teenager was travelling on the Stourbridge Shuttle when a man attacked him twice.

Following the harrowing incident on June 13, the teen reported the alleged assault to the British Transport Police.

Cops have now released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the assault.

The shuttle was headed for Stourbridge, Birmingham when the assaults took place.

The boy was assaulted as the tram made its journey and then again when it arrived at the station.

The British Transport Police said: “Do you recognise this man?

“Detectives investigating a sexual assault on a train in Stourbridge have today released this image in connection.

“At around 7.30pm on Friday, June 13, a teenage boy was on board the Stourbridge Shuttle towards Stourbridge Junction railway station when he was approached by a man.

“The man sexually assaulted him before doing so again once the tram arrived at the station.

“Detectives believe the man in the image may have information which could help their investigation.

“Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 405 040, quoting reference 661 of June 13. “

SPORTS fans will finally be able to get around a long-running problem when streaming their favourite competitions on BBC iPlayer.

Many people are turning to streaming, especially when out and about – but there is a major downside to it.

Viewers will have less lag to worry about when watching their favourite sports[/caption]

And that’s the delay.

For most programmes we watch on TV, such as soaps or the latest dramas, a slight delay isn’t an issue.

But when it comes to sport, every second matters – and the last thing you want to hear is the local pub roaring at a goal, or a friend texting you about a result, before you’ve seen it.

Sky has been making significant progress on addressing this for its streamed TV products like Sky Glass, bringing the delay down to 22 seconds.

With Freeview’s streamed successor Freely other broadcasters will have to think about how they can address the problem on their channels.

Fortunately, it’s an issue the BBC is now tackling on iPlayer.

The corporation has started a test for some viewers, depending on the device they’re streaming from.

“The delay on iPlayer has reduced significantly in recent times but is still around 40 seconds,” the BBC explained in a blog post.

“Many streaming services today have similar delays. On our broadcast services the end to end delay is just 8-10 seconds – a significant difference.

“For some content, viewers may not notice, but for live sport and for live events with a social media following, delays can detract from the viewing experience.

“We are aiming to address these delays whilst maintaining a high quality of experience through our work on ‘low latency streaming’.”

For now, the trial will run on the iPlayer stream of BBC Two between 9am and 5pm.

For sports fans, you could notice the difference for major events like Wimbledon and the Women’s Euro 2025 tournament airing on the channel.

The first devices to receive the trial are:

• Amazon Fire TV Stick (3rd generation)
• Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd generation)
• Samsung CU8000 TV
• Samsung CU8500 TV

To benefit from it, you’ll need to switch the “beta” option on in the settings, if it’s available to you.

You can check by going into the settings and looking for iPlayer Beta and selecting On.

Former millionaire David Glasheen, who moved to a desert island after losing his fortune, has died aged 81.

The ex-stockbroker had been living alone on the idyllic Restoration Island, located off North East Australia, since 1997 after losing his fortune in the stock exchange crash 10 years prior.

The ex-gold mining tycoon and property magnate, who at his most successful was worth an estimated £22million, lived in a wooden beach shack with only his loyal dog Polly for company.

But despite having limited electricity, fresh water and facing regular battles against deadly wildlife, the bearded exile insisted he felt safe on the island in an interview a few years ago.

He said: “Here there are snakes, spiders and crocodiles but it is safer here than lots of other parts of the world when you hear about terrorist attacks.

“I love it here because I have my safety, no matter how old and how tough you are you still want to go to bed knowing you are not going to be attacked.”

Self-sufficient David, who was born in Sydney’s Northern Beaches to an Irish family, added at the time that there was nowhere he’d rather be than on his “heaven on earth” natural paradise.

A HEROIC dad-of-two died after having his arm cut “almost clean off” while trying to save his family from the Texas floods that have killed more than 50 people.

Julian Ryan, 27, bled out after sustaining a horrific gash, but his actions helped his wife and kids to escape the surging water.

Julian, a restaurant dishwasher, was asleep in his trailer home alongside his mother Marilyn, fiancée Christinia and six-year-old and 13-month-old children when the floods hit.

Everyone rushed into the couple’s bedroom when they were awoken by water pouring in, Christinia told the New York Times.

It rapidly rose up to waist height and the mattress began to float – so so the kids hastily placed on it.

Christinia told KHOU 11: “It just started pouring in, and we had to fight the door to get it closed to make sure not too much got in.”

With no escape route, Julian looked to the only option: the window.

He punched through the glass, but the broken edges almost cut his arm clean off, Christinia told KHOU, and severed an artery.

As blood poured from Julian’s limb, the other two adults tried calling 911 – but nobody came.

Julian was losing consciousness from blood loss and the water had risen up to their chins.

With his dying words, Julian told his family: “I’m sorry, I’m not going to make it. I love y’all.”

Christinia said the trailer was eventually broken in half by the force of the currents – allowing the rest of the family to escape.

She said: “[Julian] was the best father, and was always such a happy person who was never above helping people, no matter what it cost.

“He died trying to save us.”

A GoFundMe has been set up to support the family after they lost Julian, and it has so far raised almost $30,000.

It reads: “Julian gave his life for his family, passing as a true hero. While his family is eternally grateful for his sacrifice, they are shattered by their loss.”

Julian’s story is one of tragedy and sacrifice, but there have also emerged some tales of miraculous survival.

Two brave young brothers told of their gutsy escape from a fast-flooding cabin room.

Piers and Ruffin Boyett were asleep in a cabin at Camp La Junta on the bank of the Guadeloupe River when it was hit by a wall of water at 4am on Friday morning.

They awoke to find water rising rapidly around them – and were forced to make a split-second decision.

The plucky pair knew immediately that they had to swim.

Younger brother Piers told KSAT: “The flood started getting bigger.

“We had bunk beds in our cabins and [the water] was going up to the top bunk and we had one choice — and we had to swim out of our cabin.”

Ruffin, the elder one, said: “I had a first-hand view of the flood.

“The cabins were flooding and the walls, they broke down.

“All of the campers in those cabins had to go up on the rafters and wait there until they could swim out.”

The brothers fought through the water to reach another cabin on higher ground.

They waited there until a rescue bus arrived to take them away from the Guadeloupe River and back to safety.

Rescuers are still scouring the devastated landscape in central Texas, but hopes of finding survivors are fast dwindling.

Larry Leitha, Kerr County sheriff, said on Saturday: “We have recovered 43 deceased individuals in Kerr County.

“Among these who are deceased we have 28 adults and 15 children.”

Multiple people lost their lives in other counties, bringing the current confirmed death toll to 50 – though this is sadly expected to rise.

The most desperate search is for a group of school-age girls who went missing from Camp Mystic – a Christian summer camp near the river.

Heartbreaking photos from the wrecked site show sodden mattresses and teddies strewn across dormitories.

On Saturday, Sheriff Leitha said 27 of the children were still missing.

A WOMAN says she has found herself again after shedding 4st on Mounjaro.

April, from the UK, took to social media to share her weight loss transformation.

She shared the must-have buy to stop nasty side effects[/caption]

The mum-of-four revealed she was so much happier after her weight loss.

“I lost 4st and found myself again after having four babies,” she said in one clip.

In just four months, the mum had totally transformed and she shared her progress with viewers.

In the first picture, April looked sad as she covered her body in black leggings and a black long-sleeved top.

But now, with more confidence in her new body, she smiled at the camera in a cropped vest and black cycling shorts.

In the comments below the clip, April revealed that she had suffered with side effects at the start but she was able to banish them completely.

And she said it was all down to one multi-vitamin.

April revealed she used the Wellgard My Journey vitamins daily to offset the negative side effects that can come from weight loss jabs.

The tablets cost £18.99 for 60 tablets taken twice a day, meaning it costs just 60p per day.

Wellgard bosses say it helps with energy levels, sulfur burps, iron, and electrolyte absorption.

April added: “I can honestly say they have helped so much with constipation, stomach cramps, you know all the nasty side effects that comes with Monjaro.”

The clip went viral on her TikTok account @aprilmj.journey with over 253k views and 4k likes.

People were quick to congratulate her on her weight loss and thank her for the recommendation.

One person wrote: “Good on you, well done.”

Another commented: “That looks perfect.”

“Lovely, well done, might as well jump on this for tummy sake,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “Congrats!!!! Thanks for the tips.”

Someone else added: “Well done, smashing it!”

TUCKING into her cheese sandwich, Catherine de Noire keeps an eye on the clock.

It’s just gone midday and she’s expecting the lunch time rush at any moment – with hoards of hungry men due to rush through the door.

Catherine de Noire works as a manager in a legal brothel[/caption]

She says that aside from the red lights outside the interior looked ‘surprisingly normal’. Pictured: Stock image of a brothel in the red light district of Amsterdam[/caption]

But Catherine doesn’t work in a deli or a local boozer – her office is a brothel and lunchtime is one of the busiest times of day.

“Surprisingly, the earliest ‘rush hour’ at the brothel is 12pm to 1pm, when men pop in on their lunch-breaks from work,” she tells Sun Club.

“The next is between 3pm and 5pm, giving them time to get home without raising suspicion.”

Catherine, 31, had been studying for an undergrad in psychology in 2016 when she first became interested in a career in the sex industry.

“While I loved it, I was getting frustrated with its attitude to sexuality,” she says.

“Reading psychology books, so much of sex was described as ‘deviant’.

“As a fan of swingers’ parties, ‘deviant’ or ‘abnormal’ seemed like very judgemental words to me.”

One day while researching an essay Catherine came across an article that grabbed her attention called Psychologist in a Whorehouse: They Call Me Pimp, but I Protect Women.

“I lived in a country in Europe outside the UK where sex work was legal,” Catherine says.

“The article was written by a manager at a brothel who had a background in psychology.

“He emphasised the importance of respecting and protecting sex-workers.

“The girls were independent contractors, who rented space from the brothel in exchange for a flat rate.

“It sounded like my dream job.”

Catherine found an email address for the same brothel and got in touch to ask if they had any vacancies.

To her delight she was called for an interview.

“Beforehand, I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous,” she admits.

“Not only did I not have any experience in the adult industry, I also had no managerial experience.

“I had no idea what to expect of the office, I was half expecting it to all be leather, velvet and fake fur.”

“But while the outside of the building was all done up with red lights, the interior was surprisingly normal.”

The manager, who was the author of the article she’d read, gave Catherine a tour of the HR and IT department

“We had a fascinating chat,” she explains.

“He told me that women are often at an advantage in brothel management because they don’t try to control the workers.”

The following week Catherine started working at the brothel as a manager.

“I’d be working nighttime shifts, from 7pm to 6am, but I quickly learned that the brothel wasn’t just busy in the evenings,” she says.

Catherine’s main responsibilities involved answering emails, overseeing bartenders, IT and marketing as well as recruiting and onboarding the girls themselves and she quickly discovered that stereotypes did not apply.

“In the media, sex workers were often represented as desperate or addicted, but this wasn’t my experience,” she says.

“Some of the girls were earning up to £40,000 a month, and many planned on working for just a few years to set themselves up for the rest of their lives.

“Yet, plenty of them were from overseas, and needed local advice or help reading over rental contracts.”

It was a few months into her job that Catherine decided to come clean about her work to her family.

“Dad’s a nuclear physicist, and his response was typically calm, understanding and matter of fact,” she says.

“But Mum was horrified, she thought that I was a pimp!

“But I explained I wasn’t exploiting the girls but rather looking after them and the more I explained, the more she came to accept it.

“Dad even came into the office with me one day to see the set-up.

“From then on, I never lied when someone asked me what I did.”

Protecting the workers was of the utmost importance to the brothel and was a large part of Catherine’s job.

“We had panic buttons in all the rooms and made sure they knew the workers had the right to say no to any request,” she explains.

“While some of the girls did just BDSM work, others exclusively worked with lesbians – it was entirely up to them to decide.”

While clients were well behaved on the whole, Catherine says that they did have to remove them occasionally.

“Sometimes we’d have to call security to turf them out at 5am when they didn’t want to make the journey home,” she says.

Intriguingly, one of the most surprising things that Catherine discovered was that plenty of men weren’t even looking for sex.

“Sometimes they were only after companionship,” she explains.

“One guy paid one of the girls £4,500 just to drive to a graveyard with him and share a cigarette.”

But it wasn’t all quite so straight-laced.

“One man turned up in a head-to-toe polar bear suit for a role play session,” Catherine says.

“I had to explain to him that he would have to remove the head while he was in reception for security reasons.

“Another man turned up dressed as a plumber and spent the whole booking fixing one of the blocked loos.”

Working in the brothel required the utmost discretion from Catherine who came across some pretty awkward scenarios.

“One of our girls came in to work every Monday, while her husband visited as a client every Friday,,” she says.

“Neither of them knew about the other and it wasn’t my place to tell them.

“On another occasion I recognised a familiar face in the corridor – my dentist.

“I realised where he’d been while I had been trying to get an appointment, fortunately, he didn’t recognise me.

“His office was filled with family portraits of him with his wife and kids, and I thought he might have been a bit embarrassed.”

While the workers of the brothel were discreet, occasionally angry wives and girlfriends would get wind of their partners’ hobbies.

“Plenty would buy a ticket and storm through looking for their boyfriend or husband,” Catherine explains.

“When arguments did break out, we’d gently encourage them to take it outside or to a private room.”

While most expressed a healthy interest in her job, Catherine explains that her job could pose a problem when it came to dating.

“I noticed quite a few men seemed to be bothered by my job,” she says.

“One guy told me my job was fascinating but he’d never let his girlfriend do it.

“It wasn’t a problem, I was happy to give him the boot.”

Catherine says that working in the brothel definitely changed her view of marriage and monogamy.

“I met plenty of men who’d tell me they loved their wives, they just weren’t having sex anymore,” she adds.

“I’ve had men tell me that the brothel has saved their marriage.”

Fascinated by everything she was learning, Catherine started posting about her experiences online.

“There was such stigma around the topic and I wanted to encourage a conversation and debunk stereotypes of the industry,” she says.

“People loved my videos and I soon amassed 400,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok.

Catherine de Noire

“I even started an Only Fans account where I could tell my wildest stories.”

But while she received plenty of positive attention, she also endured some backlash.

“My inbox and comment sections were filled with death and rape threats against me, my family, and my potential future children,” she says.

“It was shocking and I had to be careful with my mental health.”

Eight years into her job, Catherine realised it was time to take a step back.

“When I first started the job at 22, the night shifts didn’t really bother me,” she says.

“But by the time I hit 30, the 3am to 6am stretch started getting much harder.

“Especially as I was simultaneously studying for a PHD in organisational psychology.

“Now, I’ve been working in this role for nine years, and I’m starting to think about my next steps.

“I definitely want to stay in the industry, but perhaps move across to a luxury swingers club or something similar.  

“Ultimately, my work in a brothel has taught me one important lesson.

“Sex work is only dangerous when it’s illegal, legalising it keeps women safe.”

ARSENAL have landed their “Tier One” £51m signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

The 26-year-old Spaniard arrives at the Emirates on a five-year-deal – the Gunners’ second capture of the summer after spending £5m on Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Getty

Zubimendi – a long-term target that has been in the works since last summer – will join up with his new teammates straight away, heading out to Spain next week for a warm-weather camp before travelling to Singapore and Hong Kong on July 19 for their pre-season tour.

Boss Mikel Arteta has been looking for a new No.6 to anchor his midfield since the 2024 summer window, wary that Thomas Partey and Jorginho – who have now both left on a free – had just 12 months left on their Emirates deals.

And Arteta expects Zubimendi to slip straight into his starting XI alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in a midfield three.

Arsenal and Arteta’s recruitment strategy – supported by sporting director Andrea Berta and their vast team of scouts – are believed to evaluate players in a tier system.

With ‘Tier One’ meeting all parameters to improve the squad and take the team to the next level. In short, they must be ‘world class’.

Zubimendi is in this category due to a number of factors: Arsenal view him as a consistent performer with the ability to control games, set the tempo and initiate play from deep.

One of the areas in detail that caught their eye was his passing range and accuracy.

As well as admiring his intelligence, mentality and work rate, SunSport understands Zubimendi’s impressive injury record was also a huge contributing factor.

Arteta’s men suffered greatly from key players – such as Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz – missing large parts of last term that saw their title charge against Liverpool collapse.

The fact that Zubimendi’s record shows him to play in a high percentage of games every season – rarely spending time in the medical room – ticked another important box.

Last summer, Arteta wanted to raid Sociedad for both Zubimendi AND Mikel Merino, but the Spanish club did not want to lose both, instead letting only Merino join for £32m.

Arsenal presented a solution to Real Sociedad which worked for both parties, allowing Zubimendi one more year in La Liga before activating his £51 release clause.

This plan was complicated by Zubimendi agreeing a deal with Arne Slot’s Reds.

Liverpool were keen to give new manager Slot the midfielder he craved – an impressive ball-playing, tackle-crunching Spaniard who has been tipped to rival Rodri.

Ultimately however, Slot and Liverpool were turned down, with Zubimendi persuaded to remain at his beloved Sociedad by coach Imanol Alguacil and sporting director Roberto Olabe.

They reportedly did so by preparing a presentation on the pros and cons of a Prem switch, pulling on the 26-year-old’s San Sebastian heartstrings with pictures of his favourite local tapas restaurants and mountain hikes he enjoys in the Basque Country.

Zubimendi said of Socieded: “It is where I feel most comfortable”.

It worked, but Alguacil and Olabe could not stop his head being turned by Arsenal and Arteta – a Basque boy convincing another Basque boy to make London his new home.

Arteta and Arsenal’s presentations for potential new signings are nothing new, leaving most players and agents who experience it astounded by the level of detail and care put into them.

Zubimendi was no different, sold on the project and vision at the Emirates, as well as wanting to follow in Arteta’s footsteps – he also left his birthplace of San Sebastian for the bright lights of Barcelona in 1997 aged 15.

SunSport understands that Arteta and Zubimendi had an instant connection.

The player wanted to take the next step in his career but making the move outside of Spain was not an easy decision.

It also helped that Merino spoke glowingly of his time at Arsenal throughout most of last season.

AFP

Zubimendi has played with Mikel Merino (second from left) for Spain and Real Sociedad[/caption]

Real Madrid made a late play for Zubimendi in June with new manager Xabi Alonso a big fan, but Arsenal were not concerned.

From March, the transfer had been fully agreed, allowing Arsenal to press on with other targets for the summer, including their long, drawn-out pursuit of a No.9.

Because of the success of this long-term chase, Arsenal are understood to be looking at securing more pre-agreements with players in the future to avoid frustrating summer sagas – a huge shift in how they go about their business off the pitch.

For all the noise around him over the past few years, Zubimendi is not a loud character. He is down-to-earth, humble, at times even shy and anxious.

It is said that while making the decision over whether to sign for Liverpool, he isolated himself at home, refusing to use his phone to fully lock in on a big decision that he also consulted his family over.

However, he is a different beast when he steps on the pitch.

In the last summer window, Arsenal bought Merino because he was a “dual monster”. Zubimendi is not too far behind in that respect.

He is aggressive, assertive. A snarling, hungry athlete of a man who covers every blade of grass competing for space, the ball or a well-timed tackle.

A modern-day Claude Makelele with a sprinkling of Sergio Busquets.

Put simply, Zubimendi is the cog between the defence and the midfield, and right now in Europe, he is viewed as the closest thing to Manchester City’s Rodri.

In the Euro 2024 final against England back in July, Spain were rocked by Rodri’s injury that forced him off at half-time. And yet, his absence was barely felt with Zubimendi on to replace him.

He is used to pressure. Even with the eyes of the world on him days after performing his Liverpool U-turn, he did not miss a single training session, even taking part in a team photo shoot.

He has also had to overcome the odds to even reach this position.

In his early years at Sociedad, the coaches were initially not keen on him, favouring other players and only signing him up at the last minute – a decision that proved wise.

OUT of millions of incredible restaurants in the world, one of the very best is right here in the UK.

La Liste, is a global guide that ranks the world’s best restaurants, pastry shops, and hotels, has revealed L’Enclume is one of the best at number one spot – tied with nine others from around the world.

You’ll find the restaurant in Grange-over-Sands, a former Victorian seaside resort in Cumbria.

Grange-over-Sands was originally a small fishing village before becoming a popular Victorian seaside resort.

And while Grange-over-Sands is a coastal town and has a promenade, it does not have a traditional sandy beach.

Instead, it’s known for its extensive saltmarsh area that forms part of Morecambe Bay.

But the town can still be popular during the summer with its long promenade as well as the countryside manor, Holker Hall and Gardens.

And according to La Liste, Grange-over-Sands is a must for foodies.

L’Enclume made it to the very top of their list, ranking as one of the best 1,000 restaurants in the world.

It came tied in first place with another eight restaurants from around the world, like Switzerland, France and Japan – all of which got a score of 99.5 per cent out of 100.

It’s on the site of a 13th century blacksmith in a beautiful pale stone building.

The restaurant serves a 20-course tasting menu which has developed from the use of wild herbs and flowers, and costs £265.

Across the bay in Morecambe, a huge attraction is set to open in 2028, after being forced to delay its initial 2026 opening date.

The town is set to open its very own Eden Project with a “global garden” overlooking the bay.

Other images of the site reveal walkways linking treehouses together, as well as other wooden structures to explore.

Once it’s completed, the new Eden Project will be home to a “hyper-real forest” with large installations and immersive theatre.

The plans include a “Bay Glade” with a well-being landscape, plus a Natural Observatory for research and education.

There will also be an exhibition area and meeting point for guests named the Bay Hall as well as children’s play areas, restaurants, cafes and a gift shop.

Plus, the UK staycation with very famous comedic locals and famous pleasure beach.

And the tiny Victorian seaside town with award-winning holiday resort, incredible sunsets and one of the UK’s best parks.
