Three people have died and five were injured after a ‘fishing style boat’ and a speedboat crashed on a lake in Canada.

A man, 23, and two women aged 21 and 22 were killed when the vessels collided in the Bucks Bay area of Bobs Lake, Ontario at 9.30pm last night.

They were pronounced dead at the scene.

Five other people aged 12 to 44 were taken to hospital with a range of injuries, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported. One of the patients was airlifted with serious injuries.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said other people had been on the boats who were checked by paramedics but did not need to be hospitalised.

The force wrote on X that rescue boats and drones were used to help locate people in the lake.

In a video posted below the statement, an OPP spokesman said: ‘It’s a horrible situation, there were still people in the water when first responders arrived.

‘The investigation is ongoing. Our thoughts are with the families impacted by this tragedy at this time and we ask everyone to respect their privacy.’

It is not yet known whether speed or alcohol was a factor, or whether those on the boats were wearing life jackets, OPP Constable Rob Martell said on Sunday morning.

Meanwhile, in Hungary two people have been killed and five others are missing after two boats crashed on the Danube River.

Hungarian police say the crash between a small motor boat and a cruise ship happened late on Saturday evening, and was reported after a man with a bleeding head wound was found on the riverbank.

A man’s body was found close by, while the body of a woman was recovered further downstream.

Doctor Who casually introduced a major new character in the latest episode

Doctor Who casually introduced a major new character in the latest episode

Major spoilers for series 3 of Doctor Who ahead.

Doctor Who dropped its third episode of the new season, Boom, and a pretty significant character just made a cameo.

The latest episode of the sci-fi series – starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor – saw the Doctor and companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) arrive on Kastarion 3 and face off against a deadly threat.A live landmine nestled right under the Doctor’s foot.

During the episode, written by former showrunner Steven Moffat, the audience discovers that Kastarion 3 is in the midst of a devastating war with a religious military group known as the Anglicans on one side of it.

After one of the soldiers, John (Joe Anderson), is sadly killed we discover his daughter, Splice (Caoilinn Springall), is living on a nearby settlement and being watched over by Mundy Flynn portrayed by Varada Sethu.

That’s right, Splice’s caretaker is none other than the season two companion, as announced by the BBC in April.

At the time, the Andor actor said it was ‘an honour to be part of the Whoniverse’ and that she would join the TARDIS team in 2025. So what on earth is she doing in the show a whole year early?

During the episode, Mundy clearly has unspoken feelings for fellow soldier Canterbury aka Canto (Bhav Joshi).

When Splice goes to track her father down on the battlefield Mundy and Canto follow, causing them all to converge around a terrified and confused Doctor and Ruby.

Needless to say, the future companion doesn’t get off to a good start after almost attempting to murder the Doctor before being convinced otherwise.

By the end of the episode, Mundy is faced with tragedy after Canto is accidentally killed by a rogue battlefield AI ambulance (played by Susan Twist).

But instead of hopping on the Tardis to join the Doctor and Ruby, Mundy remains on the planet, ready to care for Splice.

This is not the first time a companion, or even a Doctor, has been introduced long before their run on the show.

Catherine Tate first starred as Donna Noble in the 2006 Doctor Who Christmas special, The Runaway Bride.

Although she was originally only meant to guest star, her popularity was so great that she returned for the fourth season from 2008 to 2010.

Meanwhile, series 5 companion Karen Gillan showed up in the season 4 episode The Fires of Pompeii as a Soothsayer. In the very same episode, future 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi also featured as Pompeii resident Caecillius.

Sethu joins a proud history of key characters introduced before their time (Picture: BBC)

But, there is no doubt that showrunner Russell T Davies and writer Moffat would have been aware that Sethu would be making a return as a full-time companion, making this guest role much more purposeful.

Moffat has pulled something similar before. In season 7 opener Asylum of the Daleks, we are introduced to Oswin who returned as companion Clara Oswald (played by Jenna Coleman) several episodes on.

Her premature appearance ended up tying into the plot as it was later revealed her character was trapped in the Doctor’s timestream.

How do you think Mundy Flynn ties into the plot?Comment Now

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Moffat teased: ‘She’s there! We’re just going to do Clara again. So it’s fun, isn’t it? It wakes you up. You think, “Ah, there she is!”‘

As for how and when Mundy will return remains to be seen, but for now she seems to be slyly slipping through the net. As Moffat said, ‘There is a plan. That’s all I’m telling.’

Doctor Who returns with 73 Yards on Saturday, May 25 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

England captain Jos Buttler excited by return of ‘superstar’ Jofra Archer ahead of T20 World Cup

England captain Jos Buttler insists he is excited by the return of ‘proper superstar’ Jofra Archer ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Archer has not played top-level cricket for over a year but looked fit and fast as he featured for the Sussex second XI against Kent this week.

The 29-year-old, who starred in England’s World Cup win in 2019, took 1-11 in six overs at Beckenham on Friday after being parachuted into the match on day four.

Despite his injury issues, Archer was recalled for England’s T20 World Cup defence and is set to feature in the warm-up series against Pakistan which begins on Wednesday.

‘It’s a huge encouragement for him to be back and see him ready to play,’ said Buttler, who will captain England at the upcoming T20 World Cup in the United States and the Caribbean.

‘Everyone knows what he is capable of and the attitude he possesses. As a captain he is someone you can always turn to in a game because he always has a trick up his sleeve.

‘It’s great to be able to call on him but it’s important to manage expectations. He has been out of it for a while now so we will need to look after him and realise that it might just take him a little while to be the Jofra of 2019.

‘He is a proper superstar but we do have to be smart with him. It’s a jump in intensity from what he’s doing now to international cricket and you can’t really replicate it.’

Archer, who has taken 102 wickets in 49 matches for England, could be a key player for Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott as they look to retain the T20 World Cup.

England lifted their second T20 World Cup trophy two years ago in Australia and kick-start their 2024 defence against Scotland on June 4.

Archer, who has had a recurring elbow injury since 2020, will focus on white-ball cricket this year before potentially returning to the Test game in 2025, when England host India in a five-match series and travel Down Under to try to win back the Ashes.

According to Harrison Butker, my life has not even begun

According to Harrison Butker, my life has not even begun
Uncleared grabs: Harrison Butker | Commencement Address 2024 | Benedictine College

Harrison Butker, the kicker for NFL team Kansas City Chiefs, was invited to give the commencement speech at the Catholic Benedictine College in Kansas this week.

But rather than share inspiring words with the Class of 2024, he instead went on a bizarre tirade about the role of women, the LGBTQ community and President Biden for making it seem like ‘you can be both Catholic and Pro-Choice.’

While the crowd was made up of both men and women – who had, incidentally, graduated moments before and spent at least the past four years in higher education – for quite a large portion of it, the NFL star addressed ‘the women’ gathered in the auditorium.

‘I want to speak directly to you briefly, because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,’ he said.

What are these ‘diabolical lies’, you ask? Oh, just how we’ve been told to think ‘about all the promotions and titles you’re going to get in your career.’

Although he graciously admitted that some would actually go on to have successful careers, he ‘ventured to guess’ that the majority of them would be more enthused about having kids and getting married – as we are wont to do.

How does Butker have such great insight into the female psyche? He explained: ‘I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.’

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - JANUARY 19: Harrison Butker #7 of the Kansas City Chiefs celebrates on the field after defeating the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium on January 19, 2020 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Butker said that his wife Isabelle ‘would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.’ (Picture: Tom Pennington/Getty Images)

Well, if it works for Isabelle…

What’s even more laughable is that Butker’s own mother, Elizabeth, is an accomplished physicist with a master’s degree and various other accolades – and clearly didn’t just give up on life once she had her son.

Now, given that he went on to rebuke the ‘deadly sin sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated to it’ and also claimed that ‘things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy [and] euthanasia’ were part of our ‘degenerate cultural values’, it’s not like there’s a shortage of offensive content to draw upon from his speech.

Up Next

But, speaking personally as a single cis, straight, white, childless 32-year-old woman, I have to say the notion that life only begins once you partner up and pop one out is utter crap and beyond insulting.

Of course wanting and having those things as a woman is absolutely legitimate and okay, but it should be a choice – and one made by the woman. It also doesn’t mean that those things are the sum of her worth.

Those who choose not to or cannot have children and those who are satisfied being alone are no less important than those who do have and want those things. 

We are not invalid or unfulfilled just because we don’t have an army of sprogs and/or a bloke at home.

Emma Clarke
In 2024, why are women still reduced to the sum of their relationships and ability to have children? Picture: Emma Clarke

For me, my career has always been a focus and a great source of pride – as it is for so many others. It has been especially pertinent for me as I came from a working class background; I always wanted to strive for more and not just do what was expected of me.

And even beyond my job, I have lived a very full and colourful life. I am well-travelled, I socialise with friends and have truly experienced things I never thought were possible.

Having also gone to university (albeit for just three years), the idea that someone would tell me that it was a wasted effort and that after such a mammoth achievement I should put a pin in my ambition, is farcical. 

What did you think of Harrison Butker’s speech? Have your say in the comments belowComment Now

Of course, in 2024, it’s beyond sad that women like me still have to justify our very existence. 

It feels self-indulgent to list my achievements as I have done so above; but when you’re told constantly that without marriage and babies you are nothing, it’s hard not to get defensive. 

I literally have to do this in most social situations, as people desperately clutch at straws when I tell them that, no, I don’t have those things. The focus is on the negative, rather than the positive.

But ultimately, it’s men like Harrison Butker that you really have to pity. I am quite alright living the life I lead. And anyone who feels that insecure about female ambition and accomplishment is clearly very troubled indeed.

Wayne Rooney names Man Utd star who was a ‘nightmare’ in dressing room

Wayne Rooney names Man Utd star who was a ‘nightmare’ in dressing room

Wayne Rooney has revealed which one of his former Manchester United teammates was a ‘nightmare’ in the dressing room.

Rooney played with lots of different players during his 13-year stint at the club between 2004 and 2017 including Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba.

But there is one particular star who kept falling out with his own teammates behind the scenes at Old Trafford, according to Rooney.

‘(Nemanja) Vidic was a nightmare,’ Rooney told The Overlap. ‘He’d have an argument with someone.

‘I remember he didn’t speak to Giggsy (Ryan Giggs) for six months, didn’t speak to Patrice (Evra) for months, he’d have an argument and just wouldn’t speak to them.

‘I had an argument with him once and I remember that he was going down the same route with me.

‘So I pulled him for a chat and said, ‘Grow up, what’s up with you? We’re teammates’.’

Nemanja Vidic spent eight years at United from 2006 to 2014, winning five Premier League titles during his time at the club.

The Serbian centre-back also helped United clinch the Champions League trophy as well as three League Cups.

He is one of only four players to win the Premier League Player of the Season award twice.

Meanwhile, Rooney has accused some of United’s current injured players of deliberately ducking out of games to protect themselves for the FA Cup final or the upcoming European Championships.

‘Some of those players can play,’ Rooney said after United lost 1-0 to Arsenal last time out. ‘A hundred per cent. You’ve got a European Championship coming up, an FA Cup final coming up.

‘Because they are getting a little bit of stick now, it is easy for players to stay out of it a little bit and then come back towards the final and get themselves fit for the European Championships.’

Lauren Goodger has opened up about how working out has helped her cope with recent stress as she shared her ‘bad anxiety’.

The TV personality revealed that her daughter, two-year-old Larose, has been suffering from a viral infection, causing her anxiety to skyrocket with concern about her child. 

The former Celebrity Big Brother star, 37, explained that her daughter’s ill health is particularly stressful, given that she had a second daughter named Lorena who died at two days old in July 2022 – calling herself a ‘grieving mother’ in a heartfelt post on social media.

‘My baby girl and I been up all night her temperature sky high… kept her in all day with me monitoring her she full of beans just temp and looks unwell so I can’t work out what it is… we’ve had no sleep and then I also get some horrible news I’ve cried all day in secret because I’d never let my daughter see that.. I’ll never understand life so much bad stuff happens and I’ll never understand why.’

The post continued, referencing her late daughter: ‘I’m a grieving mother and I felt like I’ve never been given any time to actually heal or try and get on with my life again cos once you go through the worst trauma of your life it changes you, you can go one way or the other and I did.

The reality TV star explained how she coped with her loss by exercising and going to therapy.

‘I stayed in my bubble just me and my daughter and my little family and in that time I lost a lot and my cortisol levels are so high so I made some positive changes I went back to work and I trained near enough every day I do have therapy but I need stick to it the gym is my medicine.’

Lauren was seen out in Essex on Monday, where she wore gym gear as she looked concerned and spoke on the phone.

She also shared images on her story of herself at the gym, looking in the mirror and taking several images.

The post continued: ‘Then bang something tries to tear me down again Not sure how much more of life I can actually do it’s s***. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful as I’m grateful for so many things and my daughter is my rock and when she is unwell I have such bad anxiety due to my loss of feeling something bad going to happen.

‘I’m a nervous wreck and I have to do it all by myself, no one comes to give me a helping hand or helps me mentally not one single person hats off to all the single mums that actually are completely on their own. Cos wow warriors!

‘Sorry for the emotional insta I never ever do this I’m such a private person but I’m hoping this may show the real vulnerable side of life that no one knows or sees only the ones close.’

Her Instagram story later showed that she was able to see the doctor who told her that her daughter’s problem was ‘viral’ and that she should return in a couple of days if her temperature didn’t return to normal.

The star shares her daughter with Charles Drury, a 26-year-old builder and amateur footballer.

The pair had a turbulent relationship with several breakups and cheating accusations over the years, and they have now finally split.

Earlier this year, Lauren’s ex-boyfriend was cleared of assaulting her on the day of their daughter’s funeral after she withdrew her support for the prosecution. 

The couple are no longer together, but Lauren has revealed that she still sees him regularly so her daughter can have a relationship with him. 

‘We’re making it work because the priority is Larose. She sees us both equally, and that’s what I don’t want to change. 

‘Regardless of the situation of our relationship, I would never stop her seeing her dad,’ she told Mail Online.

A man shot dead in the early hours of Saturday morning in south London has been named as Jazmel Dashourn Patterson-Low.

Hospital staff called police at around 2.30am when the 26-year-old was dropped off at A&E by car, but he died about half an hour later.

Police say he was shot on the Westbury Estate in St Rule Street, Lambeth, where a group of around 40 people had gathered an argument is believed to have escalated.

Jazmel’s cause of death was confirmed as a single gunshot wound during a post-mortem on Sunday.

The Met says nobody has been arrested as part of their murder investigation yet, but the car used to drop Jazmel off at hospital has been found.

Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe said: ‘Around 40 people had been gathered in and around St Rule Street on Friday evening and the early hours of Saturday morning.

‘A dispute appears to have flared up rapidly after 2am, resulting in shots being fired.

‘I am extremely grateful to those who have already come forward to provide information.

‘Along with CCTV and forensic inquiries, this has provided numerous lines of inquiry, which detectives are working around the clock to develop.

‘I am certain there are other people who will know what happened in St Rule Street and who was responsible for the shooting. I urge them to come forward and share that information.

‘If you don’t want to speak to police, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously. Some people have already done that – I don’t know who they are, but I have their information and I thank them.’

Detective Chief Superintendent Seb Adjei-Addoh added: ‘Ever since Saturday morning I have remained in contact with local people and partners in Lambeth.

‘We are all appalled by the brutal killing of Jazmel and we are working together to protect and support the community.

‘Jazmel’s family deserve answers. Dedicated police officers, including specialists from across the Met, are determined to do everything we can for them – to bring whoever killed Jazmel to justice, and to protect the community by taking his killer off the streets.’

Doctor Who fans celebrate ‘bonkers’ cameo from BBC stars

Doctor Who fans celebrate ‘bonkers’ cameo from BBC stars

Up Next

Doctor Who fans have been left gobsmacked after two Strictly Come Dancing stars appeared on the most recent episode.

The long-running series returned to screens this weekend, with Ncuti Gatwa officially now taking over as the Time Lord, with Millie Gibson as his companion.

On Saturday two episodes were released, Space Babies and The Devil’s Chord.

In the latter, the Doctor and Ruby went back in time to meet The Beatles, but were faced with a challenge when discovering the all-powerful Maestro was changing history and London then ‘became a battleground with the future of humanity at stake’.

After restoring order, the Doctor then informed Ruby that after all of his adventures through time and space there was ‘always a twist at the end’, before making a knowing wink at the camera.

The episode then ended with a music and dance number, which saw Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas and professional dancer Johannes Radebe pop up.

The pair appeared in the routine dancing with the Doctor and Ruby, with Johannes also sporting a wig with long curly hair and a goatee.

Although their appearance in the show was announced months ago, many of those tuning in were still caught off guard.

‘JOHANNES RADEBE?! SHIRLEY BALLAS?! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE AND NOT ON STRICTLY?!’ Kez posted on X.

‘Can’t get ‘There’s always a twist’ out of my head and seeing Johannes and Shirley Ballas dancing,’ James shared.

‘On top of everything else (including cameos for June Hudson and Murray Gold), Johannes and Shirley Ballas in the dance number. Bonkers’ user KippyWoo added.

Soon after Shirley shared a series of photos of them on set, asking her followers if they’d spotted her and Johannes.

One joked he had ‘screamed’ with excitement when seeing them appear.

During an interview on Morning Live in November last year, Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies was asked about cameos in the upcoming season, with attention then turning to Shirley, who was also in the studio.

‘Do you mean the top-secret information that Shirley Ballas is going to appear on Doctor Who?’ he said, before she was asked about the new gig.

‘Well, I can tell you the filming was one of the best days of my life,’ she explained.

‘I am doing a guest appearance with JoJo (Johannes Radebe) where I actually get to perform with him and so many other dancers on the show.

‘So, I am very, very excited for people to watch.’

Speaking about securing her for the series, Russell then said he made sure he was on set that day to watch Shirley at work as he was ‘not going to miss that’.

The next episodes of Doctor Who airs next Saturday at 6:50pm on BBC One.

Ange Postecoglou sends warning to Manchester City as Arsenal hope for huge title favour from rivals Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou sends warning to Manchester City as Arsenal hope for huge title favour from rivals Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou insists Tottenham will ‘have a crack’ at Manchester City despite the fact a positive result against Pep Guardiola’s side could hand Arsenal the Premier League title.

Man City are two wins away from a record fourth successive Premier League title after they thumped Fulham 4-0 on Saturday afternoon to move above Arsenal at the top of the table.

The Gunners will return to the summit if they beat Manchester United on Sunday, but the title remains in City’s hands as they have a game in hand – against Tottenham on Tuesday night – before the final day of the season.

Spurs fans have mixed feelings ahead of the Man City clash as while a win would keep their Champions League hopes alive following Saturday’s victory over relegated Burnley, it would also give Arsenal a huge boost in the title race.

If City drop points at Tottenham and Arsenal win their remaining two games – against United and Everton – Mikel Arteta will likely get his hands on the Premier League trophy due to their superior goal difference.

Looking ahead to Spurs’ penultimate game of the season, Postecoglou said:’We’ve still got six points to play for, that’s the key thing for us.

‘We’ve got a big game on Tuesday night against Man City, that’ll be a great test for us. Then we’ve got Sheffield United away so let’s see where we can get to and where we end up playing our football.’

Asked if he believes Spurs have what it takes to defeat the reigning Premier League champions, Postecoglou added: ‘I think we’ve got what it takes to make a game of it and play our football and see where it takes us.

‘They’re an outstanding them. Them and Arsenal are the benchmark [in the Premier League] right now, they’re 20-odd points ahead of us so we’ve got some ground to make up. 

‘But it’s at our place, it’s 95 minutes of football and we’re going to have a crack.’

Spurs have largely impressed in Postecoglou’s first season in the Premier League, though four successive defeats prior to the Burnley win may cost them a place in the Champions League.

Tottenham are four points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa ahead of their final two games against Man City and relegated Sheffield United. Villa, meanwhile, face Liverpool on Monday and Crystal Palace on the final day.

‘For us this was always going to be a year of building and it always unlikely we would get through it unscathed [with injuries],’ Postecoglou said.

‘We’ve stayed competitive in the league and always tried to play our football. We’ve got two games to go and we want to finish strong.’

Asked about his hopes of making the top four, the Australian added: ‘It’s about being the best we can be.

‘Irrespective of where we finish it is important that we strengthen in the off season and I know the players who have been through this year will come back strongly.’

Tottenham trailed Burnley following Jacob Bruun Larsen’s first-half opener but equalised through Pedro Porro before Micky van de Ven scored an 82nd-minute winner to send Burnley down.

On the impact of Dutch defender Van de Ven, Postecoglou added: ‘He’s not a bad player is he? He’s outstanding and that’s the exciting thing for me – it is his first year in Premier League football.

‘Same with Destiny [Udogie], Pape Sarr and [Guglielmo] Vicario, too. We have so much growth in this team and Micky is at the forefront of that.

‘I can’t think of too many players who have made such an impact in their first year of Premier League football, and knowing he only really had one year in the Bundesliga. It’s not like he’s a seasoned professional.

‘He has had a few injury problems but when he’s played he has been outstanding.’
