ACTOR Noel Clarke yesterday failed in a bid to have The Guardian’s defence thrown out in a £10million libel court action.
The Doctor Who star and newspaper will now go to trial on March 3 over its claims he sexually harassed 20 women.

Stories in 2021 and 2022 accused Clarke, who was also in crime drama Kidulthood, of groping, bullying and sending sexually explicit images between 2004 and 2019 to women he met through work.
His barrister, Philip Williams, told the High Court that Clarke could not have sent one alleged “d*** pic” in May 2015 because he had not by then met his accuser.
Clarke, 49 — suspended by Bafta after the stories were published — accuses Guardian News & Media of perverting justice by deleting and fabricating evidence.
Mr Williams said journalists’ message threads were modified to try to “swindle” Clarke.
Referring to Clarke, who was in court, he said of the claims: “The police were so disinterested they didn’t even speak to my client.”
Gavin Millar, KC, for GNM — which is defending Clarke’s action on the grounds of truth and public interest — said its reporting was based on interviews with 22 people.
He said the deleted threads were “routine and banal conversations” between three journalists about “minor tweaks” to stories.
Mrs Justice Steyn rejected the plea to strike out the Guardian’s defence, reserving her reasons for a written judgment.

RTE chef Donal Skehan has shared his genius hack for keeping young kids happy while traveling on holiday.
The celebrity chef and his wife Sofia have two kids together, Noah, six, and four-year-old Oliver.

Donal and his family frequently enjoy exotic holidays and often times the RTE star has to travel for work.
And he has offered his advice to parents with young kids on how he keeps his young lads quiet on long plane rides.
Speaking to RSVP, he said: “Entertainment comes first. I bought these toiletry bags that people hang on the back of their bathroom door, but I fill them with activities, toys, snacks and books. It’s perfect for a long-haul flight and it’s important to set them up with as much as you can, or else you will be up and down every five minutes.
“We brought the boys to Marrakech, somewhere that families don’t really go, but it’s important to be brave and let them have new experiences. You have to let them explore as much as you want to explore and don’t project any fears you might have on them.”
He explained that it is he and his wife’s dream to travel as much of the world with their kids as they can – and the family frequently visits Southeast Asia.
He said: “We would love them to experience it, and at a younger age, if possible. Those experiences are so formative.
“We always encourage them to try new foods and travelling overseas is a lovely way to experience new cultures.”
The dad-of-two also revealed that India is on his bucket list of countries to visit and would like to go there in the “next 10 years”.
Donal also joked about his biggest travel nightmare, which occurred just as he was leaving a hotel.
He explained: “I once managed to get a laptop into a safe, but I wasn’t able to get it back out. I had a total breakdown. It happened at the moment I was leaving the hotel, so there wasn’t time to deal with it.
“I was fit to kill someone at the time, luckily I can laugh about it now. Stressful and panicked moments happen on every trip.”

THE Fortnite Championship Series, or FNCS, is gearing up for its first Major for 2025, as the play-ins are starting today.
FNCS 2025 comes with a revamped format based on divisional cups, followed by Majors throughout the year, each consisting of four stages.

Epic GamesThe FNCS Divisional Cups are your key to qualify for each Major in your region[/caption]
Here’s everything you need to know about the FNCS 2025 format and schedule.
We look into the prize pot, format starting with the overall structure of the FNCS Majors and how to qualify for each.
FNCS 2025 prize pot
The FNCS 2025 is bringing a staggering prize pool of $8million this year, distributed across all Major events in each region and the Global Championship.
That’s up by almost half a million from last year’s edition of Fortnite’s top esports tournament.
Is FNCS Trios or Duos in 2025?
This year, the FNCS is being played in Trios, a change from last year’s Duos format.
Trios means that there are 99 players on the Battle Royale map at the start of a match, playing in 33 teams of 3 players each.
FNCS 2025 format: Major Play-Ins and Group Stage
Each FNCS Major consists of Play-In Stage, Group Stage, Last Chance Qualifier, and the Major Finals.
During the Play-In Stage, players who have reached Division 1 in the Divisional Cups of their respective region can team up in trios to compete for a spot in the Group Stage.
Play-Ins take place over two days, during which teams play 10 matches each day with a cumulative leaderboard
The top trios on the leaderboard advance to the Group Stage.
For the Europe (EU) and North America Central (NAC) regions, that’s the top 99 teams, and for all other regions – the top 66 trios.
During the Group Stage, teams are split into groups of 33 teams, that’s three groups in EU and NAC, and two groups for the other regions.
Five matches are played in each group, and the team that earns the Victory Royale in each group match qualifies instantly for the Major Finals.
Then, the best-performing teams in each group also qualify, the top 5 in EU and NAC, and the top 10 in other regions.
FNCS 2025 Last Chance Qualifiers
All players who have not qualified for the Major Finals by this stage, will get a last chance to earn a spot at the FNCS Major.
The Last Chance Qualifier is open to all players from Divisions 1, 2, and 3, and the best teams will enter the Last Chance Lobby.
The Victory Royale winners of each Last Chance Lobby match qualify for the Major Finals, and there will be three matches per region.
The Last Chance Qualifier for Major 1 will take place on February 12 and 13, 2025.
FNCS 2025 Major Finals
Each Major ends with the Major Finals over two days, with six matches played each day, with the top trio in each region crowned as the Major champions.
The Major champions win a share of the FNCS prize pool and will be able to wield the Blade of Champions pickaxe in-game during the next season.
The Major Finals or Major one are scheduled for February 15 and 16, 2025.
FNCS 2025 Majors schedule
Here’s all the dates for each of the three majors of FNCS 2025.
The majors will be followed by the Fortnite Global Championship, the exact schedule for which will be announced later this year.
FNCS 2025 Major 1
Play-Ins: January 29-30
Group Stage: February 2-9
Last Chance Qualifier: February 12-13

FNCS 2025 Major 3

Major Finals: August 2-3
How to watch the FNCS 2025
While the Divisional Cups are not broadcast, Fortnite’s official channels will be showing FNCS 2025 matches.
Each region is sending its top teams from each FNCS Major to the Fortnite Global Championship 2025, which will take place in the second half of this year.
After Major 1, Europe and North America Central are sending 2 trios each.
The rest of the regions, North America West, Brazil, Asia, Middle East, and Oceania, are sending one team, their Major champions.
Here’s a full breakdown of the number of teams that will qualify from each region after all three Majors conclude:
Europe: 11 teams
North America Central: 7 teams
North America West: 3
Brazil: 3 teams
Asia: 3 teams
Middle East: teams
Oceania: 3 teams
If a trio that has already qualified finishes in a qualifying spot again, then the next team on the Major leaderboard that hasn’t already qualified will earn the spot.
How to qualify for an FNCS Major in 2025
Qualifying for the FNCS 2025 starts with the FNCS Trial, which you and your teammates can unlock by reaching Gold rank or higher in Battle Royale, Zero Build, and Reloaded Ranked modes.
The FNCS Trial is a single Trios tournament session, which took place on December 7, 2024, for Season 1.
The top 200 trios from the FNCS Trial are then placed in FNCS Division 1, the next 600 go into FNCS Division 2, and the rest of the teams – in FNCS Division 3.
The Divison 3 Cup is also open again to any trios that have reached Gold in Ranked.
Each Division Cup consists of 2 days of play, and teams have to complete 10 matches per day.
The top teams from Divisions 3 and 2 climb up in the division above, while Division 1 teams compete for a spot in the Division 1 Cup Finals which gives cash prizes.
The Divisional Cups for this season ended on January 25, 2025, and players who have reached Division 1 are eligible for the FNCS Major Play-In Stage, which starts today, January 29, 2025.
In future seasons, there will be no FNCS Trial, and players will start based on their best placement in Divisional Cups across the seasons.
New Gold or higher Ranked players will then have to start in Division 3 and win their way up.
The dates for the next Divisional Cups are yet to be announced.
