Precisely what the FA Cup has always been about. Surely we can’t have two Manchester derby cup finals in a row, could we? 🤞🙏

As predictions go, a Putin landslide was the easy one.

No crystal ball or tea leaves required there.

After all, in Russia the Kremlin tightly controls the political system. Including elections.

But what will Vladimir Putin do with his 87%? What will a fifth Putin term look like?

Putin 5.0 may not be so different from Putin 4.0

Don't expect an "Abracadabra moment" where, with a wave of a magic wand, the hawk suddenly turns into a dove.

Chances are that President Putin will continue along his current path of conflict abroad and crackdown at home.

    The first ship towing a barge of humanitarian aid to Gaza has unloaded supplies on to the shore.

    The Spanish ship Open Arms left Cyprus on Tuesday with 200 tonnes of food desperately needed for Gaza, which the UN says is on the brink of famine.

    Videos posted online show a crane moving crates from the barge to lorries waiting on a purpose-built jetty.

    It marks the start of a trial to see if sea deliveries are effective, after air and land deliveries proved difficult.

    World Central Kitchen (WCK), which supplied the food, carried out the mission in co-operation with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to deliver the barge's cargo of rice, flour, legumes, canned vegetables and canned proteins.

    Gaza has no functioning port, so a jetty stemming from the shoreline was built by WCK's team. How the food will be distributed in Gaza remains unclear.

    WCK's founder, celebrity chef José Andrés, [size=inherit]wrote on X[/size] (formerly Twitter) that all the food aid from the barge had been loaded into 12 lorries.

    "We did it!" he wrote, adding that this was a test to see if they could bring even more aid in the next shipment - up to "thousands of tons a week".

    In a statement, Israel said the Open Arms vessel and its cargo were inspected in Cyprus, and that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops had been deployed to secure the shoreline.

We lived in Failsworth Near to Mrs Taylor and used to get a taxi from home to the school.  I remember thinking that the playground was huge until I saw it when I was an adult and it was tiny.
