grabs

THEY’VE been together for seven months now and it appears that Demi Sims and Jazz Saunders’ relationship is going from strength to strength.

The former TOWIE star took to Instagram on Saturday to share various pictures of the pair together, and in one snap, the two look very cosy as she grabs her girlfriend’s bum.

The cheeky photo shows Demi, 29, hold onto Jazz’s derriere as they embrace, with Demi’s face being hidden behind her ladylove’s face.

Jazz is wearing a sexy red lace dress as the two look as loved up as ever.

She also uploaded pictures of herself as a bridesmaid at a wedding and spending quality time with her family, including sister Frankie Sims.

Demi captioned the post: “What a good month.”

Made in Chelsea star Jazz was quick to comment on the pictures as she said: “I am going to frame 3^rd pic x.”

She also told her girlfriend: “You are perfect,” as she responded: “You are.”

Fans also commented on the snaps as one gushed: “Genuinely my favourite couple, both glowing with happiness.”

Another commented: “You two are literally perfect aren’t you.”

During the latest instalment of Made in Chelsea, the lovebirds appeared to have a small blip when Jazz asked her best friend Julia Pollard if she thinks Demi and her are compatible.

Julia told her she didn’t, which got back to a frustrated Demi, who asked to speak to Julia.

Jazz’s worst fears came true as she was stuck between her best friend and her girlfriend.

However, Jazz and Demi managed to get back on track and put on a united front, despite her best friend not championing her relationship.

Demi told The Sun earlier this year: “Romance is going really good, Jazz is a lovely girl and we really get along and it’s just really healthy.

“We actually met through Jazz’s friend Yasmine [Zweegers], she saw me on a night out and said to Jazz, ‘You’d really fancy Demi, she’s a bit of you’. That’s how it all started.

“I’m really enjoying, we really get along and I’m so happy to have met her.”

The pair – who first started dating in March – were spotted sharing a steamy snog in the loos of a posh celeb spot in London.

They later made things more official between them, with a sweet ‘girlfriend proposal’.

Jazz took to social media to share a glimpse with her fans, while captioning the post: “A weekend for the books.”

She then shared photos from the beautiful moment that Demi asked her to be her girlfriend.

There were blooms and picnic bits, as well as an iPad with a photo of them in the middle.

The couple’s moment was filmed by someone nearby, and they captured Jazz running up the hill and greeting Demi, before nodding as she realised the question she was being asked.

Demi replied in the comments of the post: “She said yessss.”

Julian Alvarez scores twice as Atletico came from behind to inflict a first defeat of the season on city rivals Real.

Julian Alvarez scored twice as Atletico Madrid came from behind to thrash city rivals Real Madrid 5-2 in a pulsating derby that handed the La Liga leaders their first loss after a perfect start to the season.

The thrilling encounter at a raucous Metropolitano stadium saw Atletico fight back from 2-1 down to claim a memorable victory that lifted them to fourth place with 12 points.

Real Madrid remain top of La Liga on 18 points, two ahead of Barcelona, who have a game in hand.

Atletico’s aggressive start paid off when Robin Le Normand opened the scoring with a header in the 14th minute.

However, Kylian Mbappe burst through to level with an unstoppable strike from close range in a quick counter in the 25th minute, with Arda Guller netting a volley from a Vinicius Jr cross 11 minutes later to put the visitors in front.

Alexander Sorloth’s header in added time before the break gave Atletico a boost and they regained the lead five minutes into the second half when Alvarez converted a penalty after Guler’s high boot clipped rival Nico Gonzalez on the face inside the box.

After Alvarez extended their lead in the 64th minute with a sublime free kick into the top corner, substitute Antoine Griezmann sealed the win in a quick counter in added time.

Alvarez’s performance was sweet redemption after his controversial double-kick penalty contributed to Atletico losing to Madrid in last season’s Champions League.

Diego Simeone’s Atletico dealt Xabi Alonso his first loss of the season after Madrid had won all six La Liga games and its Champions League opener. Alonso’s only other loss since taking over as Madrid’s coach in the summer was against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup semifinals in July.

Barcelona can overtake leader Madrid with a win at Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Real Madrid coach Alonso admitted that his side deserved to lose the game.

“We were bad at everything. We couldn’t string passes together, we couldn’t win duels, we couldn’t create chances,” he said.

“We need to analyse what happened and get better, and we will.”

The Madrid coach tried to find positives from this painful defeat as he looked ahead to the rest of the season.

“This is a process,” he said. “We’re in a phase where we’re building an identity. We will get better, for sure.”

THIS year’s US Open mixed doubles winners are set to be awarded a mouth-watering sum.

The 2025 US Open kick starts with a new mixed doubles championship, with eight duos battling it out for the title.

Organisers have controversially made the event stand-alone this year in an attempt to encourage top singles players to participate in the mixed doubles.

The competition is set to be played between August 19-20 with the US Open Singles tournament getting started on August 24.

Many of the big name singles players will be competing in the competition with seven teams gaining direct entry based on their combined singles rankings.

Emma Raducanu pairs up with Carlos Alcaraz as she faces fellow Brit Jack Draper and his teammate Jessica Pegula in the Round of 16.

Wimbledon winner and last year’s men’s US Open champion Jannik Sinner teams up with experienced doubles player Katerina Siniakova.

Reigning champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori return as they will try to defend their title.

Novak Djokovic is also in the competition and pairs up with Olga Danilovic.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner has only reached the second round of a doubles competition once – at Wimbledon in 2006 – but did make a run to the semi-finals of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

US Open Mixed Doubles 2025 prize money

This year’s prize money has increased significantly from last year with the winning team now being awarded $1million (£736,880).

This is a staggering improvement on the $200,000 (£147,364) given to 2024 champions Errani and Vavassori.

Intent has clearly being shown by organisers significantly increasing the prize pool, upping the stakes and hopefully increasing the suspense and excitement of the games throughout the competition.

Here is a full breakdown of the prize money for the mixed doubles competition:

• Winner: $1,000,000 (£736,880)
• Runner-up: $400,000 (£294,729)
• Semi-Finalist: $200,000 (£147,364)
• Quarter-Finalist: $100,000 (£73,682)
• Round of 16: $20,000 (£14,736)

Israeli forces have shot and killed a Palestinian child in the occupied West Bank amid more violent raids by soldiers and settlers, and as Israeli authorities position to confiscate more land.

Local Palestinian sources reported on Friday that 13-year-old Amr Ali Qabha was hit with live ammunition in a street in Yabad, located south of Jenin, and was denied medical treatment as soldiers prevented ambulances from reaching him.

Qabha’s father also tried to reach him, but was severely beaten and detained by Israeli soldiers, according to the Wafa news agency, which said the child was pronounced dead at the hospital after an ambulance was finally able to get him there.

More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed across the occupied West Bank since Israel’s war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023. Of that figure, at least 204 were children.

The United Nations humanitarian office (OCHA) said on Friday that at least 14 Palestinian deaths and 355 injuries were recorded in the West Bank last month, while there were at least 129 Israeli settler attacks resulting in Palestinian casualties or property damage.

According to OCHA figures, between the beginning of 2024 and the end of June 2025, more than 2,200 Israeli settler attacks were reported, resulting in more than 5,200 Palestinian injuries.

In that same period, nearly 36,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced across the West Bank due to Israeli military operations, settler violence or home demolitions carried out by the Israeli government.

Ongoing raids and harassment

The deadly incident on Friday came as Israeli soldiers continued their raids across the occupied territory that were accompanied by arrests, and assisted settlers in their attacks aimed at driving Palestinians from their lands.

In Jenin’s village of Raba, Israeli forces fired tear gas at Palestinians, including children, who were protesting against the confiscation of their land and property.

In the town of Dura, located south of Hebron, five Palestinians were detained after a raid that included the ransacking of several homes.

Six more were arrested in Qalqiliya’s village of Kafr Laqif, with another two taken from the village of Sir in the same district.

A Palestinian man was arrested in Bethlehem after being summoned by Israeli intelligence to the Gush Etzion settlement. Two people were taken during a raid on Nablus, with one shot and wounded before his arrest. Another arrest was reported in the Askar refugee camp.

In the village of Umm Safa near Ramallah, Israeli soldiers destroyed a main water pipeline, which left about 1,000 residents without water.

In the neighbourhood of Beit Hanina in occupied East Jerusalem, families living in a residential building were forced to leave in preparation for the demolition of their homes. The Palestinian families were among those forced to demolish the buildings themselves after an order by Israeli authorities, because the municipality would fine them more if it demolishes the building.

Armed Israeli settlers launched a violent attack earlier on Friday in the village of al-Malih in the northern Jordan Valley, located northeast of the occupied territory. They killed at least 117 sheep belonging to Palestinians, stole more livestock and vandalised tents and other property, according to Wafa.

Israel’s plan to divide future Palestinian state

Israeli authorities are planning to illegally confiscate more Palestinian land as well, despite international criticism.

The United Kingdom on Friday opposed Israel’s announcement of its intention to renew plans for construction in the E1 area in the occupied West Bank, a move that would split the Palestinian territory.

“The UK strongly opposes the announcement by the central planning bureau of Israel’s Civil Administration to reintroduce the E1 settlement plan, frozen since 2021,” said a Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson.

The plan would include the construction of more than 3,000 houses to the east of Jerusalem, dividing a future Palestinian state in two, read the statement, and “marking a flagrant breach of international law”.

US Democratic Senators Bernie Sanders, Peter Welch, Jeff Merkley and Chris Van Hollen issued a joint statement on Friday condemning Israel’s longstanding plan to destroy and force out Palestinian communities in Masafer Yatta, in the South Hebron Hills.

Amid frequent attacks by settlers and troops in the area, Israeli authorities are advancing with plans to turn the Masafer Yatta area into an “open fire” zone for their military.

Shocking video footage shows a woman having a mid-air meltdown thousands of feet in the air and demanding a business class upgrade – before being restrained by passengers and cabin crew

Footage from Aeroflot flight SU734 shows a woman going into a fit of air rage while the plane from Russia to Egypt was mid-flight, frightening other passengers on board.

The clip shows the economy passenger screaming at cabin crew insisting on an upgrade because she was suffering from pain in her “butt and t**s”.

The woman can be seen standing in the aisle and yelling at the cabin crew in broken English: “I’m in pain in my butt, I’m in pain in my t*ts… I want my business class…” reports The Sun.

She even grabs her own breasts while arguing her case, pleading: “But I need a business class because I was working.”

Passengers helped the crew overpower the woman after she allegedly threatened to open the emergency exit and began removing her top in desperation, according to the Telegram channel Aviatorshchina.

Although the video doesn’t show her fully undressing, it captures her bizarre gestures and meltdown as shocked passengers watch on during the six-hour flight.

When her rant fails to sway staff, the wild-eyed woman sinks to the floor screaming, “No, no, get out!” as a female voice calmly replies: “You asked for it.”

“The woman tried to push forward, ran around the cabin, approached the emergency exit, and threatened to ‘open’ it,” the report claimed. They also mentioned that the passenger “began taking off her T-shirt” in a bid to get to the desired seat.

“The stewardesses first tried to manage on their own, but the brawler wouldn’t give in,” the channel added. “After she was restrained, the violator was moved to the back of the plane and handed over to the police upon arrival.”

The woman’s identity and nationality remain unknown and Aeroflot has not commented on the incident. However, a fellow passenger described the mood on board as “tense and uncomfortable,” with some fearing the woman might actually reach the emergency exit.

“People were scared. We didn’t know how far she would go,” they reportedly said.

The Airbus A330-300 aircraft was carrying dozens of holidaymakers heading to Sharm el-Sheikh, many of whom were left shaken by the strange outburst.

Meanwhile, emergency services were called to Majorca’s Palma Airport after a “false fire alarm” on a Ryanair plane just after midnight today (July 5).

A flight from Majorca Palma Airport to Manchester was “discontinued” due to a false fire warning light indication, according to Ryanair. Eighteen passengers were injured while disembarking the aircraft before returning to the terminal.

Passengers were filmed abandoning the plane via one of its wings before jumping to the tarmac as firefighters and police rushed to the scene. Regional medical emergency response coordinators said 18 people needed assistance with “minor injuries”.

Six had to be taken to hospital. Three were reportedly taken to a private clinic in Palma called Clínica Rotger and the other three to Hospital Quironsalud Palmplanas which is also in the island capital.
