Brooklyn

NICOLA Peltz has snubbed her father-in-law David Beckham’s knighthood as the family feud rumbles on.

The actress returned to social media on Tuesday to share a picture of a bunch of flowers from her sister but failed to make mention of David’s honour.

Alongside the picture, she gushed: “Omg @brittanyleahpeltz thank you so so so much these are breathtaking.”

David received his knighthood from King Charles at Windsor Castle for services to sport and charity and were joined by his family for the special occasion.

His wife Victoria Beckham and parents Ted and Sandra watched on as the King bestowed the honour on him with a gentle touch of a sword on either shoulder.

His children Romeo, Cruz and Harper were also involved in celebrating the big day with their beloved dad.

Victoria Beckham shares tribute to ‘humble’ husband David after his Knighthood

However, eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were noticeably absent from the big day and much like his other half, Brooklyn has failed to make any mention of it on social media.

Romeo and Cruz both took to Instagram to share sweet tributes to their dad but their big brother has stayed silent.

Romeo shared an adorable picture with his parents and siblings as he penned: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much xxx. Congrats Sir dad @davidbeckham.”

While Cruz shared the moment David received his knighthood on his stories as well as sharing David’s post.

Brooklyn and Nicola’s snub comes after he is believed to have “quit” the famous family this year following rising tension.

The Beckham family feud is understood to have actually started four years ago, when Nicola refused to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria.

Tensions then became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria on Mother’s Day.

He then failed to show up at any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year.

The couple reside in their mansion in Los Angeles and appear to be very close to Nicola’s side of the family.

They tied the knot in 2022 and renewed their wedding vows earlier this year, with the ceremony being officiated by her father Nelson.

Only her family were present for the big day, with the Beckhams not being involved.

Despite the ongoing tensions, David put his best foot forward to receive the biggest honour of his career and become Sir David Beckham.

It marks the end of an agonising wait for the charity ambassador, who was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011.

He took to Instagram to pen his feelings as he wrote: “I can’t even begin to describe what a special day it is for me today, a boy born in East London, to receive a Knighthood from His Majesty The King.

“I am truly humbled and so grateful for this honour.

THE ongoing Beckham feud has been reignited after Brooklyn failed to post anything about his dad David’s knighthood.

Today Sir David, 50, was awarded his long awaited knighthood by King Charles at Windsor Castle in front of his famous family – but his eldest son was nowhere to be seen.

David’s wife – the newly appointed Lady Victoria – and parents Ted and Sandra Beckham watched on proudly as he received the coveted honour.

Joining them were his three other children, Romeo , 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.

The ex-England and Manchester United star was knighted by King Charles for his services to sport and charity.

However, during what Becks called the “proudest moment of his life”, his first born was nowhere to be seen.

Brooklyn Beckham locked in fresh feud weeks after family clash revealed

Brooklyn is also yet to acknowledge his dad’s huge achievement on social media.

Both Romeo and Cruz have posted pictures from the historical ceremony today.

Romeo even wrote next to his picture of his family at Windsor Castle: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much. Congrats Sir dad.”

But their big brother Brooklyn has remained completely silent.

It should be noted that he is living in LA, so with the time difference he may not have had chance to write a message of support yet.

It comes as David’s eldest child is believed to have “quit” the famous family this year following rising tension.

The Beckham family feud is understood to have actually started four years ago, when Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz, 30, refused to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria.

Tensions then became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria on Mother’s Day. He then failed to show at any of David’s 50th birthday parties.

Meanwhile, Becks put the feud behind him today to receive the biggest honour of career and become Sir David Beckham.

It marks the end of an agonising wait for the charity ambassador, who was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011.

In a lengthy Instagram post he said: “I can’t even begin to describe what a special day it is for me today, a boy born in East London, to receive a Knighthood from His Majesty The King. I am truly humbled and so grateful for this honour.”

Sir David then went onto reveal just how much the honour meant to him.

DAVID and Victoria Beckham have publicly thrown their support behind their eldest son Brooklyn in a rare social media move that has tongues wagging.

Brooklyn, 26, showed off his kitchen skills in a new Instagram video, flipping fluffy buttermilk pancakes to Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight. 

While he’s been keeping his distance from the famous family for months, both Posh and Becks quietly “liked” the clip in a huge hint that the frosty feud could be thawing.

The gesture comes after Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz failed to publicly support Victoria on socials as her hit Netflix documentary landed earlier this month.

They were also notably absent from her Paris Fashion Week show and the premiere of the documentary.

The couple snubbed David’s lavish 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year in a move that left the family heartbroken.

Sources previously claimed the rift had reached breaking point, with Victoria and David having “accepted they won’t see Brooklyn for the foreseeable future.” 

Meanwhile, the Beckhams’ other children are busy making their own mark in the spotlight.

Romeo, 23, is following in his dad’s football footsteps, Cruz, 20, has formed a band and is gigging around London, and 14-year-old Harper is said to be keen on following in her mums footsteps into fashion and beauty.

Victoria recently defended her kids from “nepo baby” criticism, telling The Sun: “It’s not their fault — give them a chance.”

Cruz is releasing his first single today and has already received critical acclaim, being signed to a top music management company — all off his own bat.

“Cruz has got music coming out soon,” Victoria told The Sun.

“He’s spent the last ten years learning his craft — much like I did with Roland — learning to play instruments.

“He taught himself to play about seven instruments. He writes his own songs, he’s put a band together.

“He’s properly done it from the grass roots up. He hasn’t just come in and sung his songs, or demanded anything.

“I mean I can’t really give him any advice — the industry has changed so much.

“But I told him, ‘Don’t expect immediate success’. It’s almost better if it isn’t an immediate success.

“You know, it’s like with my fashion thing — it’s taken me 20 years to get it to where it is.

“You’ve got to start small and build it up. And that’s exactly what he’s doing, playing tiny venues, no fuss, doing his thing.

“I am so proud of him.”

She added: “But he is a nepo. I mean, I feel sorry for these kids that are considered nepo-babies.

“The kids are simply the kids of their parents. It’s not their fault.

“Give them a chance. What matters is that people are good and kind.

WHEN you date one ­Beckham, you date the whole brood.

So make no mistake, news that middle son Romeo has reunited with Kim Turnbull after a five-month break is a ­significant development for everyone concerned.

After all, his former flame was blamed earlier this year for igniting the feud between the Beckhams and their eldest lad, Brooklyn.

It came as rumours swirled that she dated their first-born long before coupling up with his younger brother.

Reports suggested at the time that Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, felt “uncomfortable” around Kim and didn’t want her in the fold.

And although Kim vehemently denied that she and Brooklyn were ever an item, the pressure no doubt contributed to her decision to step away from the family circus in May.

At the time, insiders argued that Kim and Romeo’s break was amicable and undramatic, and had nothing to do with soaring tensions with his now estranged brother.

But there is no denying that all the scrutiny had an impact, as Kim herself lashed out at the “harassment” and “lies” levelled against her.

Cut to this week and Romeo, 23, posted a cosy snap of himself with 24-year-old Kim, a model and DJ — seemingly confirming whispers they had reunited after he liked several of her Instagram snaps in recent weeks.

Once again, the implications for the family are huge.

Let’s remember, we are fast approaching a year since Brooklyn and Nicola were last pictured with the Beckhams, in December 2024.

Respectful silence

In the interim, their silent estrangement has been deafening, as they failed to publicly acknowledge David’s 50th birthday in May or his long-hoped-for knighthood the following month.

Likewise, they did not blink as Victoria won plaudits for her Paris Fashion Week show and launched her self-titled Netflix documentary series earlier this month.

What Brooklyn and Nicola did do was loudly declare their devotion to one another.

But now that David and Victoria have implicitly co-signed on Romeo’s reunion with Kim, insiders say there really is “no going back”.

If Brooklyn and Nicola were testing his parents’ loyalty, Kim’s proud return to the family fold says a lot.

Consider again the tenets of the Beckham clan. As we know, the family comes as a package deal and — like the monarchy — it is built on hierarchy, bloodlines and loyalty.

Try to overstep your status or stage a coup and you will be cast out quicker than you can say, “Bend it like Beckham”.

But align yourself with the status quo — and the brand — and the pay-off can be huge.

Just look at Jackie Apostel, the girlfriend of their youngest son Cruz, who has been flying the flag for the next gen Beckham Wags in recent months.

Earlier this week, Victoria and David, who are also parents to Harper, 14, wished Jackie a happy 30th birthday on Instagram — with Victoria declaring, “We all love you” and David calling her “a very special person inside and out”.

This follows Jackie’s dutiful dedication to her would-be in-laws over the past year.

She cheered Victoria on in Paris, and also walked the red carpet with the brood at the premiere of Vic’s Netflix series.

Over the summer, she was a mainstay on their £16million yacht in St Tropez and the Amalfi Coast.

And, of course, she was dressed to the nines in a Victoria Beckham number at David’s black-tie 50th bash.

Notably, Kim was also in attendance at that star-studded event — also dressed in Victoria Beckham threads.

But it proved to be her last public outing with the clan as, just weeks later, reports emerged that she and Romeo had split after some seven months together.

At the time, scrutiny was at an all-time high over Brooklyn and Nicola’s shocking snub of David’s big birthday events. Meanwhile, reports swirled from Nicola’s camp that she was fuming over Kim’s omnipresence.

And Brooklyn has since made it clear countless times that his wife comes first. He doubled down on that message in May, calling Nicola his “whole world” and writing in a gushing tribute: “I always choose you baby.”

Most recently, he said in an interview at the Ryder Cup celebrity golf match: “There’s always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife.

“Me and her — we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.”

There’s always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife

Brooklyn

While it was widely reported that Brooklyn and Kim had dated when she was 17 and he was 16, those rumours were dispelled.

Cruz was first to rubbish the claims on Instagram. When one fan commented under a photo of Romeo and Kim, “It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex too? Cool”, Cruz bluntly responded: “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

Then, in the immediate aftermath of her break-up from Romeo, Kim took the matter into her own hands. She wrote on Instagram in June: “I’ve avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it’s come to a point where I feel the need to address it.

“I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative.

“I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question.”

She then took a step away from the famous family.

But, crucially, she has maintained a respectful silence since.

And that has undoubtedly made her return to the fold all the more seamless.

Meanwhile, in August, Brooklyn and Nicola went for the jugular, holding an elaborate vow renewal ceremony that demonstrably erased the Beckhams from the narrative. Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson Peltz presided over proceedings, while the “bride” wore her mother Claudia’s wedding dress.

She and Brooklyn then spent the summer holidaying with her family on their £85million yacht in Europe — casting a large shadow over the Beckhams’ relatively smaller vessel.

The message was clear: Nicola does not plan to walk in Victoria’s shadow; instead, she is ready to leave her in-laws in the shade.

All this has, of course, been devastating for Victoria.

But her one saving grace has been the people she has supporting her.

Perhaps, surprisingly, it is singer Jackie who has devotedly cemented herself in recent months as the de facto daughter-in-law.

As a pay-off, she is now living the gilded life that only those in the Beckhams’ inner circle enjoy.

She has become one of Victoria’s most valued brand ambassadors, and recently had the honour of promoting her beauty brand online.

What’s more, she has landed lucrative ads for brands including Dior Sauvage, Sol De Janeiro and Jimmy Choo, and signed deals with the likes of Burberry and Summer Fridays.

Playing by the rules

Experts say she can now earn £10,000 per sponsored post.

As well as finding love, Jackie, who grew up in Brazil, has been granted access to an exclusive world and is playing by the rules.

Now, provided that Kim treads the same path, there is no reason why she should not also be fully welcomed back into the fold — and get to enjoy certain perks along the way.

She herself is no stranger to the gilded life of a well-heeled clan.

Raised in North London, she is part of the bohemian Turnbull dynasty and — as a teenager — socialised with the likes of Brooklyn and fellow nepo baby, Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie.

Following Kim and Romeo’s tacit soft launch as a reunited couple this week, Kim has kept sensibly quiet on Instagram

Her grandfather was the renowned post-war sculptor and painter William Turnbull, whose work has been exhibited at galleries including London’s Tate.

Meanwhile, her dad Alex founded influential hip-hop label Ronin Records and is a longtime member of the post-punk band, 23 Skidoo.

As a DJ and influencer, Kim already has some high-profile events under her belt.

But being closely associated, for the right reasons, with one of showbiz’s most famous families will only help her career.

It’s a case of date one, date them all. But always play by the rules.

BROOKLYN Beckham snubbed a question about his mum Victoria Beckham’s Netflix documentary, amid the family feud. 

Her eldest child with husband David is believed to have “quit” the family after he renewed his wedding vows with Nicola Peltz without them.

Brooklyn was notably missing from mum Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week event, where she was supported by her three other children.

And then more recently, he was absent from the premiere of her new Netflix series, which was attended by Victoria’s other family members and children. 

Now, while at an event he was hosting, Brooklyn ignored a question asked by a reporter about his mum. 

The son of David and Victoria was hosting the Blue Moon Burger Bash 2.0, alongside Rachael Ray.

He was asked by a Daily Mail reporter how his career as a chef was going, to which he replied: “Good. I’m building Cloud 23, I love it,” referring to his hot sauce brand. 

He was then asked: “And what do you think of your mum’s documentary?” but Brooklyn was quick to turn away and walk off at that moment.

Brooklyn didn’t answer the question, and was instead ushered through the crowd at the cooking event. 

The Beckham clan looked amazing last week, as they stepped out on the red carpet for Victoria’s new Netflix documentary.

It follows Victoria Beckham, 51, as she navigates her life, running her fashion and beauty empire in the global spotlight.

The global streamer promised exclusive access to her life, her family, and those closest to her.

Victoria dressed for the special occasion in a stunning white ensemble.

She was joined by husband David, sons Romeo and Cruz, daughter Harper and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel.

However, Victoria’s eldest son Brooklyn was absent from the red carpet.

Despite this, the former Spice Girls singer reportedly put the family feud to one side to make sure Brooklyn, 26, appeared in the doc.

Sources close to the project revealed that Brooklyn featured in a scene where he helps clear the catwalk after the heavens opened and it poured with rain.

He jetted to the French capital alongside the rest of the family in Paris Fashion Week back in September 2024 and appears in the three-part series.

MOST of the Beckhams put on a united front at Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show but eldest son Brooklyn snubbed his family again.

The designer and former Spice Girl, 51, was joined by husband David, 50, sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, as well as 14-year-old daughter Harper in the French capital last night.

They fought bad weather to get to the Val-de-Grace venue but Brooklyn, 26, and actress wife Nicola Peltz, 30, remained in LA even though Victoria’s collection was inspired by being a mother.

Describing the show, Posh’s website said: “For Spring- Summer 2026 collection, Victoria Beckham revisits the instinctive experimentation of girlhood dressing, inspired by the designer’s own adolescence and her perspective as a mother.”

Ex-Vogue editor Anna Wintour, 75, was seen chatting to David before it started.

She joined the family on the front row alongside Cruz’s model girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29.

The Beckhams’ close friend Eva Longoria, 50, was seen leaving her hotel in a black wrap dress with her producer husband, Jose Baston, 57, as they travelled to the show.

The event comes ahead of Victoria’s self-titled docuseries which will be released on Netflix on Thursday.

Earlier, Cruz was seen in a white T-shirt with the date 24.10.25 — with some suggesting it could be a release date for his music.

He has been working on tracks for several years and recently spent time in the studio with The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard.

BROOKLYN Beckham has dealt his family another snub after failing to wish a family member a Happy Birthday.

The 26-year-old is no longer on speaking terms with his family after an epic fallout with his parents and his brothers.

Now, it appears that the rift has gotten deeper after he failed to mark his cousin’s birthday like the rest of his family.

He failed to mark Finlay James’ birthday online but mum Victoria and his brothers, Romeo and Cruz, were all quick to mark the occasion.

Brooklyn’s mum Victoria was the first of the clan to mark her nephew’s birthday as she shared a throwback of Finlay as an eight-year-old.

Alongside the image, the fashion mogul said: “Happy birthday. We love you!!!”

23-year-old Romeo also continued the trend by sharing a classic photo of Finlay as he added the simple caption: “Happy Birthday broskie.”

Furthermore, Cruz shared his own tribute with a snap of him and Finlay in matching suits as he wrote: “Happy Birthday.”

Brooklyn failed to interact with any posts nor mention Finlay’s birthday as the family feud continues to rumble on.

Finlay is connecting the family as the son of Louise, Victoria’s sister.

The lad has famously enjoyed a close bond with the entire Beckham clan making Brooklyn’s latest snub even more telling.

It is the latest birthday snub dealt by Brooklyn in recent weeks after he also failed to acknowledge Romeo’s big day or join in the celebrations.

All of the Beckham family were seen posting sweet messages to Romeo on his big day.

However, his big brother Brooklyn chose to snub his sibling, as their family feud rages on.  

The birthday snub follows months of social media swipes after Brooklyn failed to turn up for his dad’s 50th birthday party.

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, 30, remain estranged from the famous family, with unfollows and Instagram blocks fuelling rumours of an all-out war.

FAMILY FEUD

Things escalated when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows last month, despite only getting married three years previous.

Brooklyn did not invite any of his family.

In the photos shared by the couple on Instagram, they are surrounded by Nicola’s family and friends.

The ceremony was even officiated by Nicola’s father, Nelson Peltz, 83.

A source told The Sun of David and Victoria’s reaction to the vow renewal after they found out about the ceremony on a US site.

They told us: “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.

“Seeing Nelson [Nicola’s father] having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially.”

The Beckham Family Feud

• April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
• Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
• Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
• Alleged Wedding “Hijack”: In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria “ruined” part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
• March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a “baby voice” (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
• April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
• May 2025: David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
• Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
• Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
• June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a “crisis team” similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for “reputation management” due to the growing media scrutiny.
• Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
• July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
• Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.

BROOKLYN Beckham is planning to open a burger joint in the US as he pushes ahead with his latest career ambition.

Insiders said he was being backed in the venture by his wife Nicola Peltz and her wealthy family amid his ongoing feud with his parents David and Victoria.

Last month he quietly revealed the branding for Beck’s Buns, following a row with the beer brand Beck’s.

He tinkered with the application of his trademark to include restaurants and is pushing ahead with his plans.

Insiders said he hoped to open next year.

A source said: “Brooklyn has long dreamed of opening a restaurant in Los Angeles where he lives and that is finally coming to fruition.

“He has created Beck’s Buns and quietly launched it on social media last month. Brooklyn’s company Buster Sauce Inc owns the trademark and he is planning to open a restaurant.

“The issue with the trademark is all but resolved now after Brooklyn made it clear he wasn’t making booze but wanted it for a restaurant.

“The menu is still being decided but it’ll be high quality burgers with his signature Buster hot sauces.

“It’s been something Brooklyn has always wanted to do. He has the full support of Nicola and her family, including her businessman dad Nelson, and is excited about the future.”

Being a chef is the latest in a long line of career ambitions for Brooklyn, 26.

He has previously tried his hand at modelling, acting and photography.

He even had dreams of following in dad David’s footsteps as a professional footballer but failed to make the grade.

Brooklyn, David, 50, and mum Victoria, 51, are estranged following a series of rows, said to include disagreements over money.

Sources say he is now keen to move on and focus on his life with Nicola, 30.

Investigators believe up to four shooters opened fire with multiple weapons in the early hours of Sunday

At least three men have been killed and eight others wounded after a shooting in a crowded New York City club in Brooklyn.

Investigators believe up to four shooters opened fire with multiple weapons  early on Sunday just before 3:30am (07:30 GMT) at Taste of the City Lounge in the neighbourhood of Crown Heights after “a dispute”, New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters.

“It’s a terrible shooting that occurred in the city of New York,” Tisch said at a news briefing. She said officers are investigating at least 36 shell casings from the lounge, as well as a firearm that was discovered in a nearby street.

Those wounded in the shooting — eight men and three women — are being treated at hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries, she said.

The shooting comes amid a record low year for gun violence in New York City. “I mean, we have the lowest numbers of shooting incidents and shooting victims seven months into the year that we’ve seen on record in the city of New York,” Tisch said. “Something like this is, of course, thank God, an anomaly. And it’s a terrible thing that happened this morning, but we’re going to investigate and get to the bottom of what went down.”

A gunman who killed five people, including himself, in late July inside a midtown Manhattan office, was seeking out the headquarters of the National Football League (NFL), which he blamed for the brain injuries he suffered from, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

NEW YORK — A Brooklyn construction magnate was sentenced Friday to a year of probation for working with a Turkish government official to funnel illegal campaign contributions to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, resolving one of two related federal cases after the mayor’s criminal charges were dropped.

Erden Arkan, 76, told Manhattan federal Judge Dale Ho that he regretted his “poor judgments” in engaging in the straw donor scheme, which helped Adams fraudulently obtain public money for his 2021 mayoral bid under the city’s matching funds program.

Ho cited Arkan’s age and otherwise clean record in imposing the sentence, telling the Turkish-born businessman that his immigrant success story “exemplifies the American dream.”

“I hope that you don’t let this one mistake define you,” Ho told Arkan.

Arkan faced up to six months in prison under federal sentencing guidelines, but prosecutors and the federal probation officer agreed that no prison time was warranted. In addition to probation, he must also pay a $9,500 fine and $18,000 in restitution.

Arkan pleaded guilty in January to a conspiracy charge in Manhattan federal court. Weeks later, President Trump’s Justice Department pressured prosecutors to drop their underlying case against Adams, ultimately getting it dismissed.

In court Friday, Arkan’s lawyer Jonathan Rosen blasted the government for continuing to pursue his case after getting Adams’ charges dismissed.

“To put it mildly, this is a very unusual case. In fact, it is unprecedented,” Rosen argued.

In February, Justice Department leadership ordered Manhattan federal prosecutors to drop Adams’ case, arguing that it was hindering the Democratic mayor’s ability to assist the Republican administration’s immigration crackdown.

Ho, who also oversaw the mayor’s case, dismissed his charges in April. In a written opinion, he agreed it was the only practical outcome but also criticized what he said was the government’s “troubling” rationale for wanting the charges thrown out.

While Adams was spared, prosecutors continued to pursue related cases against Arkan and a former aide to the mayor, Mohamed Bahi.

Bahi, who served as City Hall’s chief liaison to the Muslim community, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to soliciting straw donations for Adams’ mayoral campaign from employees of a different Brooklyn construction company at a December 2020 fundraiser.

Arkan acknowledged in his January plea that he knowingly violated the law by reimbursing employees of his construction firm for their donations to Adams’ campaign.

In brief remarks Friday, he apologized to city taxpayers who bankroll the matching funds program, telling Ho: “I love this city. I dedicated my life to making it better. It pains me that I have harmed it.”

According to prosecutors, Adams personally solicited donations from Arkan and a Turkish consular official at an April 2021 dinner. The following month, Arkan held a fundraiser at the headquarters of his construction company, KSK, in which 10 employees donated between $1,200 and $1,500 to the campaign. They were later reimbursed by Arkan, making them illegal straw donations.

Adams then used those funds to fraudulently obtain public money under the city’s matching funds program, which provides a generous match for small-dollar donations, prosecutors allege.

A well-known member of New York’s Turkish community, Arkan’s ties to Adams first emerged in November 2023 after federal investigators searched the businessman’s home, along with the home of Adams’ chief fundraiser and his liaison to the Turkish community.

Adams pleaded not guilty to bribery and other charges after a 2024 indictment accused him of accepting illegal campaign contributions and travel discounts from a Turkish official and others — and returning the favors by, among other things, helping Turkey open a diplomatic building without passing fire inspections.

At a Feb. 19 hearing that precipitated the dismissal of his case, Adams told Ho: “I have not committed a crime.” The first-term mayor, a former police captain, skipped the June Democratic primary and is currently running for reelection as an independent.

BROOKLYN Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have shared a series of romantic snaps from their recent wedding vow renewal.

The ceremony was officiated by Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson – but Brooklyn’s parents David and Victoria were absent as their family feud rumbles on.

Brooklyn and Nicola said ‘I do’ again on Nicola’s family estate on August 2 in Westchester County, New York.

Three years after they first tied the knot, the couple decided to have a low key ceremony to reaffirm their love for each other.

Brooklyn captioned the snaps “Only love” alongside a white heart emoji.

He also referred to Nicola as “Forever my girl.”

Brooklyn was seen chopping up the ingredients and later insisted it was not burnt, saying: “Guanciale has a lot of sugar in, that’s why it’s darker.”

At 15-years old, Brooklyn got a job as a barista in a London coffee shop.

He has since tried his hand as a chef, model and photographer.

He produced his own eight-part series on Facebook called Cookin’ with Brooklyn.

He claimed to have learnt a few tricks from Gordon Ramsay, who is a family friend to the Beckham.

Recently he has set up a charity dog shelter with his wife Nicola Peltz.

He has been in the headlines due to a toxic fallout with his family — laid bare during the festivities for dad David’s milestone birthday.

Meanwhile, footballer David, 50, read a map on a motorbike as part of a photoshoot to promote his eyewear range.

Stevie Nicks has postponed several upcoming tour dates after fracturing her shoulder.

“Due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time, Stevie Nicks’ scheduled concerts in August and September will be rescheduled,” the Fleetwood Mac singer announced over the weekend.

The affected shows include all her August and September shows, which include Detroit, Brooklyn and Florida dates. Those dates have been rescheduled for later in the fall and winter.

Nicks’ shows scheduled for October are still on as planned, including Portland, Sacramento and Las Vegas.

“Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience,” the statement continued.

Nicks recently delighted Fleetwood Mac fans by reaching enough of a detente with her on-and-off bandmate Lindsey Buckingham to reissue their beloved 1973 collaborative LP “Buckingham Nicks,” their only album together before joining Fleetwood Mac. That LP is out Sept. 19.

NEW YORK — Imagine this: You’re home for the evening, winding down. There’s a knock at the door.

Who’s there? It’s Anthony Weiner. And he wants your vote.

Yes, that Weiner: The guy whose once-promising political career was derailed by sexting scandals and then seemingly ended forever when he was imprisoned for sending sexually explicit messages to a 15-year-old girl.

But now Weiner’s hoping to convince enough voters in Lower Manhattan that he deserves yet another chance in a comeback bid — for a seat on the New York City Council.

On a recent weekday at an apartment complex on the Lower East Side, the former congressman, 60, was knocking on doors, reintroducing himself to voters and reminding them about the election. And, on that Thursday at least, the would-be constituents aren’t slamming their doors in the registered sex offender’s face.

“It’s Anthony Weiner!” the candidate said after knocking on a door.

A man opens the door, his face lighting up with surprise.

“It is Anthony Weiner!” the man said, a big smile spreading across his face.

After some pleasantries and a reminder about the race, the man had an important question for the candidate: “Mind if I get a picture with you?”

And so it went as Weiner walked down floor after floor, knocking on doors. A quick hello here, a fast thank you there. Campaign literature flowed into hands. People seemed happy to see him.

It isn’t always this friendly. Weiner said he still struggles with how to speak about his scandal, calling it the “fundamental, unsolvable problem of the campaign.”

“Sometimes it’s with like real painful, kind of, honesty about what happened and sometimes it’s a little bit defensive, and sometimes, like, a woman at this street fair last week, she’s like, ‘I love you and I’m going to vote for you, but I voted for you before and how can I ever trust you?’” he said.

But, he notes, some people would rather talk about anything else.

“They’re like, ‘I don’t want to hear about that. I want to hear about me and I want to hear about how come there aren’t cops on the street and I want to hear about why my taxes are so high,’” he said.

From Congress to prison

Weiner, a brash and ambitious politician whose New York accent and wily, kinetic style made for solid theater on the House floor, was once someone worth watching in the Democratic Party. Back then, he represented a district in parts of Brooklyn and Queens.

His latest return to the political stage — this time for a City Council seat that covers Union Square and the East Village — pits him against state lawmaker Harvey Epstein, whose name’s unfortunate proximity to convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein inspired a “Saturday Night Live” bit, along with a handful of other low-key candidates.

The primary, on June 24, is considered the defining contest of the election, given the district’s heavy Democratic bent. It’s hard to know how it’ll turn out in a low-turnout, early-summer primary where there’s no deep political polling.

The comeback attempt comes more than a decade after his career imploded for sending a lewd picture of himself to a college student over Twitter in 2011.

He first tried to claim his account was hacked but eventually admitted to having inappropriate online interactions with at least six other women and resigned from Congress after serving there for more than a decade.

After leaving Washington, Weiner mounted a campaign for New York City mayor but was again undone after it was disclosed that he sent explicit photos under the alias “Carlos Danger” to at least one woman after leaving the House. The revelation tanked his mayoral bid.

Along the way, his marriage collapsed.

In 2017, his scandal entered the criminal realm after prosecutors said he had illicit online contact with a high school student. During the proceedings, his lawyer said Weiner probably exchanged thousands of messages with hundreds of women over the years and had been communicating with up to 19 women when he encountered the student.

He eventually pleaded guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor and was sentenced to 21 months in prison. He was required to register as a sex offender after his release in 2019.

Since then, he’s worked as the chief executive of a countertop company in Brooklyn and hosted a radio show where he would muse about politics, eventually finding himself ginning up his own ideas and wondering: Why not get back in the game? He opened a campaign account and donations started flowing in. He’d go out on the street and people wanted to sign his petitions.

“I knew I had things I wanted to say and I knew that I thought it was important that everyone try to do something at this point,” he said.

The elephant in the room

Still, his scandals are so much an elephant in the room that his campaign recently started circulating a mailer that, on one side, features a massive elephant alongside the text “Anthony Weiner knows you may have questions.” On the other side, a note from Weiner reads: “Since I am asking you for your vote again, I want to address the elephant in the room.”

It goes on: “I accepted responsibility, I did my time (literally) and paid my debt to society in full.”

A man who answered one of Weiner’s door knocks told the candidate that he saw the mailer and said it was a smart move to address the scandals head-on.

The two then dived into political issues, chatting about crime, the subway and homeless people. As the conversation was coming in for a landing, the man told Weiner that showing up at his door to speak with him showed that he cared. He declined to give his name to an Associated Press reporter who approached him after Weiner had said goodbye and taken off down a flight of stairs.

After a few more meet-and-greets, Weiner wrapped up for the day. He left the complex, hopped on a bicycle and zipped off down the street.

Mount Etna eruption health risks from exposure to volcanic gases – key symptoms

Earlier today, our News team reported that Mount Etna, which is on the coast of Sicily, had turned black. Our Health team then did a deep dive on possible health risks of the eruption, some of which could potentially be serious.

Even if fire, lava and magma are unlikely to make an appearance, volcanic eruptions can pose a major health risk to people in the surrounding areas. This could mainly affect the eyes, lungs and skin through the acidic gases and ash released into the atmosphere.

The International Volcanic Health Hazard Network notes that being exposed to volcanic gases can have a range of effects depending on how concentrated it is and the length of time a person is exposed to it. This can include suffocation and death if the CO2 or H2S is concentrated enough.

For nearly six decades, Los Tigres del Norte’s name has been all over the charts, on countless marquees, seven Grammys and, now, one street in New York City.

On Thursday, the historic música Mexicana band showed up to the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, surrounded by fans at the grand presentation of the newly minted Los Tigres del Norte Way.

“Starting today, a street in Brooklyn carries the name of Los Tigres del Norte,” the group wrote in an Instagram post Thursday evening. “Thank you for walking with us, today and always.”

The Sinaloense legends’ street sign is located on 5th Avenue and 47th Street in Brooklyn, surrounded by a litany of Latino restaurants.

“We’ve been coming to New York for so many years,” vocalist and accordion player Jorge Hernandez said in a TV interview Wednesday with New York’s Fox 5. “We’ve been able to connect with the community, so that’s why we’ve been selected today to have the street and we are very happy to be honored tomorrow.”

The road naming occurred on the same day as the release of the “La Puerta Negra” artists’ latest five-track EP “La Lotería.” The title track is a sociopolitical corrido that uses the imagery of the popular bingo-like Mexican game to comment on topics like immigration and the past criminality of the current U.S. president.

The band will play its first-ever show at New York’s historic Madison Square Garden on May 24 to wrap up their current East Coast stint before performing June 13 at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, Calif., and June 15 in Del Mar, Calif.

However, Thursday’s festivities weren’t the first time that the “Jaula de Oro” band was honored with a street-naming ceremony. A strip of W. 26th Street in Chicago is honorarily named after the 12-time Latin Grammy winners. The street runs through the Windy City’s Little Village neighborhood, which is known as the “Mexico of the Midwest” due to upwards of 80% of its residents being of Mexican descent.

Los Tigres del Norte were feted locally in 2014 in the most L.A. way possible — with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In June, the group will receive lifetime recognition for its members’ continued immigration advocacy from Monterey County officials ahead of their tour date in Salinas, Calif.

BROOKLYN Beckham’s wife Nicola Peltz allegedly treated Romeo’s ex-girlfriend “appallingly”, leading to the feud between the brothers, it’s claimed.

Nicola, 30, and her husband Brooklyn, 26, have suffered a rift with his famous family after the couple snubbed his dad David’s 50th birthday bash earlier this month.

Reports have “blamed” Romeo’s current girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24, for the feud – with her and Brooklyn having briefly dated in 2016.

But sources claim the row has actually been brewing for years and was originally first sparked in the run-up to Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish Florida wedding in 2022.

Guests at the ceremony are reported to have found the bride’s behaviour “absolutely baffling” – with her allegedly completely ignoring 22-year-old Romeo’s then-partner model Mia Regan.

Nicola had also supposedly been blanking her in the run-up to the big day, despite Mia and Romeo having dated for three years at the time.

To make matters worse, Romeo was Brooklyn’s best man, alongside their younger brother Cruz, 20.

“Brooklyn and Romeo have been fighting for a significant amount of time,” an insider told Daily Mail.

“They do not get on. It has been so difficult for David and Victoria.”

They went on to say the two brothers were “once inseparable” and both doted on their two youngest siblings, Cruz and sister Harper, 13.

The source added: “Things have been terrible for a long time. It has upset their mum and dad so much. All they ever wanted was a big, happy family.”

Brooklyn’s wedding was a “turning point” for the family, with Romeo said to have found “the drama unnecessary”, it is claimed.

Brooklyn and Nicola have both previously denied there’s a rift with the family – despite reports suggesting they no longer speak to the Beckham side.

It was previously reported Brooklyn questioned Kim’s “motives” for starting a relationship with his younger sibling.

He is also said to have felt uncomfortable that his ex would be in attendance at his dad’s birthday bash.

But the blame was levelled at Nicola, which upset Brooklyn, according to a source.

They told The Sun: “She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive — she’s a loyal wife.”

All of Brooklyn’s siblings turned out to party with their dad, mum, and A-list names like Tom Cruise and Guy Ritchie.

But Beck’s eldest child and his wife were nowhere to be seen.

And since the snub, a rift between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo has been uncovered.

The Sun understands Nicola and Brooklyn had intended to be at David’s birthday bash but cancelled at short notice due to Kim being in attendance.

also missed an intimate evening earlier this month at the family’s £10million Cotswolds mansion.

VICTORIA Beckham has publicly sent her love to Brooklyn Beckham amid the family’s feud.

The 51-year-old Spice Girl and fashion designer has expressed her love for her eldest son despite rumours of a rift.

She said “we love you so much” alongside a snap of the family, with Brooklyn seen front and centre in the photograph.

In the snap, Brooklyn could be seen beaming beside his two brothers, his sister, and his grandparents.

Cruz was stood next to Romeo who was standing beside their grandma Jackie and their granddad, with Harper then standing as her brother Brooklyn put his arm around her.

“We both love you all so much,” she penned alongside the snap.

Victoria then tagged her mum Jackie Adams, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

This comes after Brooklyn and his wife Bates Motel actress Nicola Peltz were notable absentees from David Beckham‘s recent birthday bash – with whispers of a rift ramping up.

Brooklyn’s siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper all turned out to party with their dad, mum, and famous names like Tom Cruise and Guy Ritchie.

Meanwhile, the eldest Beckham child and his wife were nowhere to be seen.

And since the snub, a rift between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo has been uncovered.

Romeo’s girlfriend is Kim Turnbull, who previously dated Brooklyn for a short while.

Romeo and his girlfriend Kim have kept things low-key since going public in November.

The Sun understands Nicola and Brooklyn had intended to be at David’s birthday bash but cancelled at short notice due to Kim being in attendance.

Brooklyn felt uncomfortable that his ex would be in attendance.

But the blame is being levelled at Nicola, which has upset Brooklyn, according to a source.

They said: “She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive — she’s a loyal wife.”

Brooklyn and Nicola also missed an intimate evening earlier this month at the family’s £10million Cotswolds mansion.

The dinner was attended by Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and his girlfriend Jackie.

Kim was absent, as were Brooklyn and Nicola.
