The cast also includes Umbrella Academy’s Tom Hopper starring in the leading role.
Over the past decade, Rita has appeared in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise, Pokemon Detective Pikachu and Twist – the latter inspired by Oliver Twist.
She attended the 70th BFI London Film Festival alongside her director husband Taika Watiti to see the premiere of his new movie, Klara and the Sun.
In the snaps Rita wore a beautiful black bodycon gown featuring all-over lace details.
The bottom of the skirt was structured out into a circle using a hoop to create a unique silhouette for the evening.
Rita and Taika got married in 2022 after only a year of dating, and four years after first meeting as friends in LA.
New Zealand-born Taika, 51, has directed two of Rita’s music videos and they are planning on making a romcom together.
She reportedly filmed a scene for his new sci-fi flick but it was cut at the last minute.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the South Bank, Taika said: “I’m really amazed and surprised by what she does, but also super confused at the same time.
“She has a similar thing with me about the process of making films, and that’s how we make it work.”
British Airways CityFlyer is set to withdraw from London Stansted Airport with all flights from the Essex airport scheduled to end by 11 April 2027, as the airline axes five routes and shifts capacity to London City Airport

British Airways is pulling all its remaining flights out of one of the UK’s biggest airports. BA CityFlyer is poised to pull out of London Stansted, with all services from the airport due to cease by April 2027. BA CityFlyer, the regional division of British Airways, runs short-haul services linking destinations throughout the UK and Europe from several British airports.
Five weekend routes that were initially planned to run from London Stansted during the summer season have now been removed from the airline’s 2027 timetable. The operator will keep selling tickets on its Stansted routes until spring next year, after which the planes currently operating those services will be redeployed to other areas of its network.
The decision signals the conclusion of the airline’s operations at the Essex airport as it redirects capacity to different bases and routes. The impacted destinations include Bergerac, Nice, Florence, Olbia and Majorca. Consequently, Stansted is set to lose its sole direct link to Florence, leaving passengers without a non-stop choice between the two cities next summer.

British Airways’ spokesperson said: “We continually review our network and will no longer operate BA CityFlyer weekend services from London Stansted following the end of the 2026/27 ski season. Customers can continue to book and travel on BA CityFlyer Stansted services until 11 April 2027. We regularly review where we deploy our aircraft to best meet customer demand and will invest this capacity elsewhere across our network.”
Currently, BA CityFlyer runs weekend flights to Florence, Chambéry and Geneva as part of its winter schedule. While the carrier is gearing up to cease its Stansted operations, it will keep its considerably larger network running from London City Airport, where it connects passengers to more than 20 destinations. The Florence route is set to continue throughout the winter season before being axed.
Passengers bound for the other impacted destinations will still have alternative travel options from Stansted during summer 2027. Ryanair is due to run up to five weekly flights to Bergerac, while Olbia will remain reachable via services provided by both Ryanair and Jet2 twice weekly.
Those heading to Palma de Mallorca will have the choice of flights operated by Ryanair, Jet2 and TUI, and Nice will continue to be served by daily Ryanair departures from the airport.
BA CityFlyer operates a network of UK domestic and European services, primarily from London City Airport, but also from London Stansted and Edinburgh. It also offers holiday packages, including seven nights in Ibiza from £412 per person this December, flying from London City. Seven nights in Majorca next February for £369 and a week in Malaga for £376 in January are also available.
BA CityFlyer flies from Edinburgh to Florence, Majorca, San Sebastian and Split on a seasonal basis.

VIRGIN Atlantic will suspend one of its routes from Manchester Airport for summer 2027.
The airline confirmed its seasonal route to Las Vegas will not return – but instead, it’s boosting capacity to other destinations from the airport.

Virgin Atlantic first started flying to ‘Sin City’ in April 2011, it continued until 2019 and then returned in 2024.
The route was meant to resume in April 2027 until the autumn with three flights a week – reduced to two during peak summer.

However, as part of a shake-up to its flying programme, the airline has announced that it has taken the “difficult decision” to suspend the service.
Customers who have already booked flights will be contacted by Virgin Atlantic, or their travel agent.
It’s not all bad news though as capacity from Manchester Airport to Virgin’s other destinations in the US will increase – these are to New York, Orlando and Atlanta.
Looking at July 2027, Virgin Atlantic has increased its flights to these three destinations from 24 per week to 40.
Flights to Atlanta have increased from one a day to 11 a week and flights to New York JFK have increased from one a day to 10 a week.
The Manchester to Orlando route has increased from 10 per week up to 19.
For any passengers wanting to fly to Las Vegas with Virgin Atlantic from Manchester, customers can fly to New York JFK or Atlanta and take a connecting flight with its partner, Delta Air Lines.
Virgin Atlantic also has a direct daily service to Las Vegas from London Heathrow which takes around 10 hours and 45 minutes.

PREMIER Inn is set to build a new £10 million hotel in a major boost for a UK market town.
Britain’s largest hotel chain has announced plans to transform the site of a former factory.
The hotel in North Walsham is expected to provide a massive jobs boost to the areaSource: Unknown
The new hotel in North Walsham, Norfolk, will feature the chain’s latest bedroom designs, and will be built on the former Crane Fruehauf site on the outskirts of the town.
Lucy Shires, a Liberal Democrat councillor for the area, celebrated the brand coming to the town.

She told the BBC she hoped it would attract more visitors and boost jobs.
Councillor Shires said: “A national company like Whitbread choosing to invest about £10 million here is a real vote of confidence in our town’s future.
“The hotel will bring the prospect of permanent jobs and more visitors spending money in local shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, with benefits for the surrounding area too.”
At the initial planning stage, North Norfolk District Council heard objections about the hotel‘s designs.
The council’s conservation officer had complained about its “architectural quality”, believing it would appear “overly dominant”.
The officer also described the plans for the hotel as “box-like”.
However, district officials ruled the benefits outweighed concerns about the design and approved the plans, although it is not yet known when construction will start on the site.
Whitbread, owner of Premier Inn, operates 850 hotels across the UK and Ireland.
BA CityFlyer will cut all of its flights from London Stansted by April 2027.
British Airways told The Sun that customers can book BA CityFlyer Stansted services until next spring when its aircraft will be deployed elsewhere.

REVELLERS travelling to a famous Bonfire Night event this weekend will be forced to change their plans ahead of a train station closure.
Those heading to the Sussex town of Rye on Saturday (November 14) for the bonfire celebrations will have to make alternative travel plans because the station will close at 3pm.

The decision has been taken to shut the station early to prevent ‘trouble-causing youths’ who in previous years have travelled in from other areas to make mischief.
Those coming in by train will need to arrive before 3pm, as services after that will run straight through Rye to the next station without stopping.

Thank you!
Southern Rail area manager Paul Wyborn explained: “As with previous years, Rye railway station will be closed for reasons of public safety, from 3pm on the day of the town bonfire celebrations.
“Community organisers and members of the local multi-agency Safety Advisory Group have helped us reach this decision.”
He added: “Trains will run through Rye without stopping until the normal start of service next day, Sunday 15 November, and online journey planners such as nationalrail.co.uk have been updated with this revised timetable.
“Please consider your alternatives if you’re planning to travel that day.”
James Foster, chair of Rye Bonfire Society, echoed his comments.
“We support Southern’s decision. The closure of Rye station limits the numbers coming from out of town and prevents an influx of youths who, in the past, have caused trouble,” he revealed.

“It has a noticeable positive impact on crowd behaviour, and this is clearly demonstrated by the reduction in police incidents.”
Other towns with proud bonfire traditions, like Lewes in East Sussex, have brought in similar measures to control crowd flow and reduce the risk of violence.
Lewes, which each year hosts a massive event for all of the local bonfire societies, closed its station from 5pm on Thursday, November 5.
Chief Inspector Sarah Taylor of Sussex Police added: “To ensure public safety, a decision has been made to close Rye Station during the bonfire event.
“Police officers will be working closely with partners to maintain order, prevent crime, and respond swiftly to any incidents.”
Rye’s bonfire celebrations will kick off with a pagaent procession starting out from Mason Road on the Tilling Green Estate at 7pm.
The procession route will go down Ferry Road to the Crown Inn then turn left into Cinque Ports Street.
It will then head down Tower Street, through Landgate Arch to Hilders Cliff, then into High Street down to The Mint, where it will turn right into Wish Ward.
The final part of the route is back on to Cinque Ports Street, down Tower Street, left down Landgate, right into Bedford Place and then on to the bonfire site, where ‘Rye Fawkes’ will light the fire at 8pm.
The grand finale will be the dazzling fireworks display starting at 8.15pm on the same site.
Those thinking of driving in to Rye on the day have been warned that all streets on the processional route will be closed to traffic from 5.30pm until around 10pm, and there is to be no parking on the route from 4pm.
Any vehicles parked on the route are likely to be removed by tow trucks, the organisers said.
And dogs should be left at home in case they are spooked by the loud bangs of firecrackers, drums and fireworks.
“This is a traditional custom, not a carnival or ordinary fireworks display, it can be loud and frightening, there will be fire and very loud bangs,” the organisers added.
“Keep children with you and do not push them to the front. If you are nervous, worried, or have a medical condition, we respectfully suggest you keep away.”
Major League Baseball writers and other content producers have voted to join the Writers Guild of America East.
The WGA said Wednesday that 127 employees of MLB Advanced Media — the content creators for the league’s official website and popular app — are now represented by the New York-based guild for collective bargaining. The American Arbitration Assn. administered an election after a majority of the group signed union cards.
The move marks the first time workers of a professional sports league have formed a WGA bargaining unit.
“The Guild is excited to welcome more workers from the sports industry into the labor movement,” Writers Guild of America East President Tom Fontana said in a statement. “This bargaining unit now has earned a seat at the table with Major League Baseball to negotiate a fair first union contract.”
In a statement, the league said it did not stand in the way of the organizing efforts.
“MLB worked cooperatively and in good faith to identify the appropriate bargaining unit and to respect the rights of the affected employees to decide whether to unionize,” the league said. “We look forward to working with the WGAE as their new representative.”
Neither side disclosed what workplace matters prompted the group to organize.
The unit produces content for the league’s digital offerings in English, Spanish and Japanese.
The effort comes as baseball executives are embroiled in tumultuous contract negotiations with its big league players. The collective bargaining agreement with the Major League Baseball Players Assn. expires Dec. 1, and team owners could lock out players after that deadline if no deal is reached.
And the direct route between Brighton and London Victoria will be diverted via Horsham and Littlehampton – with a longer journey time.
Replacement buses available during the railway line closure include:

Travellers heading between Brighton and Hove and Gatwick or London are being encouraged to use the trains still, rather than the replacement buses.
Works being carried out include replacing the rails at Plumpton and Preston Park and renewing the track, switches and crossings at Keymer Junction near Wivelsfield.
Balcombe Tunnel will also undergo structural work and the Clayton Tunnel will get new rails.
Lucy McAuliffe, Network Rail’s Sussex route director, said: “We know closing the railway is an inconvenience, but the extended closure over February half-term 2027 allows us to deliver a huge volume of work at once, avoiding repeated disruption across multiple weekends or during the busy summer season.”
FLIGHTS to and from Spain are being disrupted today due to a 24-hour nationwide strike.
Staff all over the country, including at its airports, are staging a walkout resulting in delays and cancelled flights – some of which are from the UK.

Looking on FlightRadar24, Madrid Barajas Airport has had 156 of its flights cancelled so far – which is 13 per cent.
At Barcelona El Prat Airport, 79 flights have been cancelled so far today.
From London Gatwick, a number of flights have been cancelled including one heading to Barcelona with Vueling.
Another heading to Lisbon with easyJet from London Gatwick this evening also won’t go ahead.
Iberia, which is the flag carrier airline of Spain, has urged travellers to get to airports in Spain early due to potential delays at check-in and passport control.
On its website, it also warned of delays at Madrid Airport due to difficulty accessing it.
As a result it said that some of its flights to and from Madrid may be affected until tomorrow.
There is still a minimum flight service requirement in place.
Airlines have asked passengers to check their flights before going to the airportSource: EPA
Business Travel News Europe reported that there must be at least 57 per cent of international flights at Madrid and 56 per cent at Barcelona.
Anyone flying to or from Spain is urged to check the status of their flight with the airline before going to the airport.
It’s not just air travel that is experiencing disruption, public transport like the Metro, high-speed rail and buses is also affected.
The strike is protesting the escalating housing crisis – and it will be the country’s first joint general strike in almost 15 years.
Major cities such as Madrid and Barcelona could see large demonstrations, which could block streets and impact traffic.
The US Embassy in Spain said: “Public transportation will be limited to minimum services. Confirm travel plans with your train company/airline and expect delays. Demonstrations can cause last-minute closures or cancellations.
“Museums, shops, restaurants, and pharmacies may be closed. Plan in advance for personal needs.”
The strike comes weeks before the general election which will be held in Spain on November 29.
Flight compensation rules
A look at your rights if a flight is delayed or cancelled, when your entitled to compensation and if your travel insurance can cover the costs.
What are my rights if my flight is cancelled or delayed?
Under UK law, airlines have to provide compensation if your flight arrives at its destination more than three hours late.
If you’re flying to or from the UK, your airline must let you choose a refund or an alternative flight.
You will be able to get your money back for the part of your ticket that you haven’t used yet.
So if you booked a return flight and the outbound leg is cancelled, you can get the full cost of the return ticket refunded.
But if travelling is essential, then your airline has to find you an alternative flight. This could even be with another airline.
When am I not entitled to compensation?
The airline doesn’t have to give you a refund if the flight was cancelled due to reasons beyond their control, such as extreme weather.
Disruptions caused by things like extreme weather, airport or air traffic control employee strikes or other ‘extraordinary circumstances’ are not eligible for compensation.
Some airlines may stretch the definition of “extraordinary circumstances” but you can challenge them through the aviation regulator the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Will my insurance cover me if my flight is cancelled?
If you can’t claim compensation directly through the airline, your travel insurance may refund you.
Policies vary so you should check the small print, but a delay of eight to 12 hours will normally mean you qualify for some money from your insurer.
Remember to get written confirmation of your delay from the airport as your insurer will need proof.
If your flight is cancelled entirely, you’re unlikely to be covered by your insurance.
Rare bipartisan bill requires data centres to pay for infrastructure, but environmental groups say it falls short.
Published On 10 Nov 202610 Nov 2026
The United States Senate has voted to move forward on a bipartisan bill that would speed up the process to build new data centres and energy infrastructure in the country.
Nearly all of the chamber’s Republicans, as well as more than a dozen Democrats, voted 73-25 on Monday to take up the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, which supporters, including US President Donald Trump, have said is necessary to meet the nation’s growing demand for electricity.

“This Bill is a BIG WIN for U.S. ENERGY INDEPENDENCE and DOMINANCE”, Trump posted on social media Monday as he encouraged lawmakers to support it.
The legislation would overhaul the permitting process for major energy projects – both clean energy and fossil fuel-run – across the US, reduce deadlines for environmental reviews and impose restrictions on when projects can be challenged in the country’s courts. It would also force owners of energy-hungry data centres to pay for the infrastructure that is needed to power them.
Growing anger in the US over those facilities’ use in powering artificial intelligence (AI), which has resulted in rising electricity bills for customers across the country, helped fuel last week’s takeover of the US Congress by Democrats.
“The people sent us a very clear message on Tuesday that they expect us to lower the costs in their daily lives,” Democratic Senator Martin Heinrich, the ranking member on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said on Monday. “We don’t have to wait for the new Congress to start lowering costs. We can do that today.”
Authors of the bill claim it will provide $19bn in savings on residential electricity bills through 2040. The number of solar and wind projects connecting to the US electric grid would be doubled, with data centres paying $55bn over the next 10 years to cover their power usage.
But despite the bill’s claims of increasing clean energy projects, environmental organisations are opposed to the legislation. They argue it would also lock in development of fossil fuels, weaken environmental laws and make it harder for US residents to challenge projects in their communities.
Earlier this year, a coalition of national groups – including the Climate Justice Alliance, Indigenous Environmental Network and Western Environmental Law Center – issued a joint statement opposing the bill.
“We cannot allow the lies to continue, as the facts are clear: If this backroom permitting reform deal is pushed through, it will enable a no-guardrails buildout of dangerous projects that will harm our health and environment, drive up energy costs, and violate our rights,” they said in September.
“This will be especially harmful for communities of color and lower income neighborhoods already overburdened by pollution and climate impacts.”
While the legislation received rare overwhelming support from both major political parties, the Democrats’ midterm win could complicate its final passage.
Some in the party argue that the legislation should be shelved until new Democratic majorities in the US House and Senate are sworn in early next year.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is on track to become the body’s new speaker in January, criticised the bill last week, warning it “falls short” in several areas.
“We must once again support the clean energy economy and combat the climate crisis with the fierce urgency of now,” a Jeffries spokesperson said in a statement released to the Associated Press.
Jeffries’s office added: “Leader Jeffries will not rubber-stamp legislation that emerges from the Senate without more constructive involvement with our Caucus as we fight to make life more affordable for the American people.”
Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, is planning to raise up to $64bn (£48bn) when it lists its shares for sale on New York’s Nasdaq stock exchange.
The loss-making company said it will offer its shares for between $70 and $78 each in its initial public offering (IPO), which is expected to go ahead this month.
This would value Anthropic at between $1.1 trillion and $1.3 trillion which, although large, is below the $2 trillion some analysts had predicted weeks ago.
It is floating at a volatile time for AI firms. After last week’s US midterm elections, the Nasdaq fell sharply on concerns a Democrat-led Congress could slow development of AI and the buildout of data centres.
There are also wider fears over the billions of dollars being spent on AI and whether it will pay off.
In its most recent results for the six months to the end of June, Anthropic’s revenues jumped to $16.2bn from $1.1bn in the same period last year.
However, its pre-tax loss jumped to $80.7bn from $12.9bn.
Fiona Cincotta, a senior market analyst at City Index, said $64bn Anthropic wants to raise is “fairly bullish” within “the volatility [and] concerns towards AI that we’ve seen in sort of particularly last week”.
She told Reuters: “It’s showing that they are still sort of upbeat about the outlook as far as AI is concerned and that obviously that they think that the demand is going to be there.”
On Friday night, the new series of Return to Paradise began and saw DI Mackenzie Clarke back at the helm
14:00, 07 Nov 2026Updated 14:34, 07 Nov 2026
The One Show: Anna Samson discusses landing Return to Paradise role
Death in Paradise fans said the same thing as they tuned in to watch the new spin-off series.
Anna Samson was back to play the Death in Paradise spin-off’s female lead detective, Di Mackenzie Clarke, along with her sidekick Colin Cartwright (played by Lloyd Griffith). However, the first episode of series three was far from plain sailing as Mackenzie came face to face with a blast from the past – her mother.
Mack’s mum not only was their prime suspect in a murder, but the detective was also trying to deal with her ex Glenn’s exit, while also dealing with his replacement – a new pathologist called Leo.
Death in Paradise fans wasted no time in sharing their thoughts about episodes one and two of series three, with many taking to social media. Praising the series, one fan said, “Watched first episode and enjoyed. Just easy watching and escapism for an hour.”
“I binge-watched it, and I’ve got to say that ending to the series? If there’s not another series, we will riot,” someone else wrote, while a third added, “Brilliant; could not stop watching it. Great ending; pity only 6 episodes, only downside.”
Another went on, “Watched first 2 series and have watched episode 1 and 2 of series 3. Really enjoying the series.”
“5 was jaw-droppingly good,” one fan beamed. However, not all fans were impressed, as one person said, “Sorry, I watched the previous series hoping it would improve. Unfortunately, no improvement.”

Another offered their comparison to Beyond Paradise as they wrote, “It’s trying to be like our Beyond Paradise. It’s far from it.”
Each episode of Return to Paradise is available to watch on BBCiPlayer, and for those who want to watch weekly, it airs every Friday. However, next Friday, the Death in Paradise spin-off will be replaced by Children in Need.
At the end of series two, Glenn decided to leave Dolphin Cove after his wedding was ruined. When speaking about his exit and being replaced, the actor who plays Glenn, Taj Hara, said, “At the end of the second series, we see the heartache and anguish he’s experienced through two failed weddings, and he’s concluded he’s probably the root cause of it all.
“Series three, Glenn’s been off finding himself, reflecting and taking some time away where no one’s been able to contact him. He thinks he’s quite certain of what he wants in his life – that’s Mack.”
On working with his replacement Leo, the actor had nothing but praise for Jacob, who plays him. He added, “It was brilliant – such a new dynamic. Having this complete fresh take, it really just energised and gave a whole new feeling to the series. Jacob’s a brilliant actor and he fit into our dynamic so well.
“For me, it was a great experience to be able to delve into a completely different side of Glenn that no one’s really seen before. More hardened, a little bit jealous, but very conflicted. That really grows and bubbles over throughout the rest of the series.”
Return to Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
WASHINGTON — Corruption topped the list of concerns for voters who ousted Republicans and handed Democrats control of Congress in the midterm elections. Now, the newly empowered Democratic Party is putting the issue front and center as its leaders chart their course for investigations and policymaking.
Senior Democrats in both chambers of Congress have vowed to marshal the subpoena powers and larger investigative staffs that come with their soon-to-be majorities to probe what they say is the self-enrichment that President Donald Trump and people in his orbit have done at the public’s expense. The Republican president and his White House have long denied any wrongdoing.
House Democrats are preparing a vast oversight agenda to look at how Trump and his family have become wealthier since he returned to office — and Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who’s in line to become House speaker, has not ruled out trying to impeach Trump for a third time.
Months ago, Jeffries tasked the ranking Democrats on the Oversight and Judiciary committees, Rep. Robert Garcia of California and Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, with leading the effort, as Democrats work to link the costs of public corruption to the affordability concerns hitting Americans’ pocketbooks.
“Lawyer up,” Garcia posted on X as election results favoring Democrats began coming in on Tuesday night.
The Senate is expected to conduct similar investigations.
“Americans want us to clean up corruption in government,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who is poised to return as Senate majority leader next year. “No American should have to make tradeoffs at the supermarket while Trump is making inside trades on the stock market.”
Investigation targets could include ICE raids, Epstein and DOGE
Garcia, the top Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has outlined five priorities, including Trump family business dealings, the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. Rep. Jared Huffman of California, the ranking Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee, said he wants to dig into Trump’s White House ballroom and other construction projects, as well as the Trump family’s role in mineral deals.
With the House majority comes an infusion of congressional committee staff and resources, and the effort is expected to be sprawling, involving House committees with authority to conduct oversight on Cabinet officials and the agencies they lead.
In the Senate, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who is expected to become the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, said his panel will want to look into Trump’s real estate projects around the nation’s capital and his crypto dealings with special envoy Steve Witkoff. Witkoff is a longtime ally who partnered with Trump on the president’s family cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial.
“The tentacles of corruption reach deep in this administration, and they have added costs to everyday Americans,” Blumenthal said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. The senator added that he also wants hearings on ICE raids, the actions of the Department of Government Efficiency and Medicare plans he says are too restrictive and have cost some patients care.
Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, who is in line to become Senate Finance Committee chairman, ticked off several investigative targets that he describes as part of an “accountability” agenda, including banks that he contends ignored red flags about the financial dealings of Epstein and pharmaceutical companies that have profited from their ties to the Trump administration.
“When I am chair, they will be forced to answer to the Senate Finance Committee for their role in hurting the American people and enabling Trump’s corruption,” Wyden said in a statement Wednesday.
The issue of corruption resonated for voters, The AP Voter Poll shows
Many U.S. voters in Tuesday’s elections expressed deep concerns about government corruption and the state of democracy, according to The AP Voter Poll, which surveyed more than 100,000 voters nationwide.
While roughly 4 in 10 voters said the economy was the top issue facing the country, about 3 in 10 said that “the state of democracy” was the top issue. About half of U.S. voters said government corruption was “crucial” to their vote for Congress, and most of those voters supported the Democratic candidate in their local U.S. House race, while about one-third said they voted for the Republican.
About 8 in 10 voters who said “the state of democracy” was the top issue facing the country supported the Democrat, while about 2 in 10 supported the Republican.
Older voters, those age 65 or older, were more likely than voters under 65 to say “the state of democracy” was the most important issue facing the country. About 4 in 10 older voters pointed to this as the nation’s top problem, compared with about 3 in 10 who said the economy. That view was reversed with younger voters, who were more likely to call the economy the top issue.
That explains why anti-corruption played such a central role in Democratic campaigns this cycle, with candidates accusing their Republican opponents of looking out for themselves or their donors rather than a broader constituency. They embraced stock trading bans and bans on former members of Congress becoming lobbyists and promised to be part of an effort to root out corruption.
Democrats’ challenge: Focusing on corruption without ignoring cost-of-living issues
In his public comments since his party lost the elections, Trump has taken a conciliatory tone toward Democrats, conceding that they “did a good job” in their campaigns as he’s tried to skirt personal blame for the GOP’s midterm thrashing. That could change as investigations ramp up.
“As the president has said, he’s willing to work with anyone to continue delivering victories for hardworking Americans,” White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis said Wednesday. “If Democrats choose to pursue sham investigations and radical left policies, they are choosing to work against the American people.”
Schumer insisted that congressional Democrats will be able to balance legislating on key issues, such as affordability, while launching investigations to target “rampant corruption.”
In a letter to Democratic lawmakers announcing his candidacy for House speaker, Jeffries said the “days of the House functioning like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump administration are over.”
“The massive corruption the country has experienced from the Trump Cartel explains why very little is getting done to help everyday Americans,” Jeffries wrote as he promised to target price gouging and push for a stock trading ban for lawmakers. “That changes immediately.”
The challenge for Democrats will be to continue to tie corruption to the affordability issues that topped the list of concerns for voters.
The Congressional Integrity Project, an advocacy group initially created to combat Republican investigations into President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration, is now shifting its focus to help Democratic lawmakers make that connection. In a memo, the group urged congressional Democrats to trace the Trump administration’s actions to people in and outside government, as well as corporations, who may be profiting from those moves.
“Corruption is not just corruption,” said the group’s senior adviser, Jack Miller. “It is costing taxpayers and costing Americans in their everyday lives.”
Some Democratic lawmakers are already stressing that congressional investigations have to be directly tied to affordability issues, while urging restraint.
Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said that Democrats need to earn voters’ trust, and while investigations are an important part of the Democratic agenda, “we can’t turn this into just a vengeance tour.”
“We have to be careful, cautious and judicious about that,” Welch said.

IT’S just over a month since James Bourne’s brother Chris gave him the gift of life – with his kidney.
And in his only interview, musician Chris has revealed the Busted rockerfelt the positive effects of the surgery immediately after waking up.

“We were in adjoining rooms that were identical and we both had a clock on the wall at the end of our beds which was driving us both insane as we waited to go into surgery,” Chris says.
“When James went in, he said he had trouble reading the clock.
“But when he came out of the operation and was taken to his room, he could see the clock.
“The whole process of receiving a new kidney isn’t as instant as that.
“But for some things, it’s pretty instantaneous. It’s incredible.”
Updating Busted fans on James’s condition, Chris — who is in a six-week recovery period — adds: “James is doing really well.
“The surgeon was so happy. He said to me, ‘You’ve given your brother a Bentley/Rolls-Royce kidney’.
“Hopefully I’ve got a Bentley left and not a banger.”
It was just over a year ago that James’s life was turned upside down and he was told by doctors he needed to go into hospital for urgent tests.

The news landed just as Busted were one day away from starting their tour with McFly, and James asked Chris to step into the fold.
Chris says: “We didn’t know anything was wrong with James.
“He called and said: ‘Hey mate, you’re up.’
“He said he’d been advised not to tour and to have some tests. It was a shock to everyone.
“I drove to Southend, where James was, and he said: ‘Just learn as many Busted songs as you can.
“When I saw him I could tell that he wasn’t OK.
“I obviously knew a lot but it was trying to learn which riffs and which chords he played on what songs.
“They’d been in full production rehearsals for three weeks when this happened.

“It felt like a Freaky Friday nightmare.”
Chris joined James’ Busted bandmates Matt Willis, Charlie Simpson and tour drummer Eddy Thrower in Leeds the following day, just 24 hours before the first night of the tour in Birmingham.
“Everyone was in disbelief,” Chris says.
The first two shows went without a hitch, with Chris doing James proud.
It was on the third show, at London’s Wembley Arena, that Chris received the devastating news of the extent of James’s ill health.
He says: “Our sister Melissa is a make-up artist and we’d met up at Wembley. She got a phone call and she burst into tears. James was in a really bad way.”
Chris and his siblings, Melissa and Nick, all put themselves forward to be kidney donors — with Chris overhauling his lifestyle on the road to ready himself.
“We all got tested and the results came back and I was the leading contender,” Chris says.
“In the family group chat I put the Lord Of The Rings meme, the one where it’s King Theoden and he says ‘Rohan will answer.’”
During this time, Chris was on tour with Busted and he admits he struggled with taking his brother’s place.
“I was sleeping in suites with his name on, the wardrobes had his clothes in them,” Chris explains.
“There was a part of me that didn’t want to be in the limelight. Like I was basking in my brother’s illness.
“It was a really difficult time.
“I felt so overwhelmed I said I couldn’t sing James’s part. I had to work hard to keep it together.
“During one show, Busted fans had arranged to wear masks of James’s face. It came from a place of love but it overwhelmed me. I had to turn around and try to keep it together.”
The brothers then faced an agonising wait until October 3, when they were cleared for surgery.
“I didn’t sleep the whole night,” Chris recalls.
“In the morning, I didn’t really want to wake my brother up because there’s no point in him being awake while I’m going down.
“As I was leaving, he came out and it was funny.
“We didn’t say anything. We looked at each other and just fist-bumped.”
After Chris’s five-hour surgery, James was taken down to receive his kidney.
Chris adds: “When James came out and I found out that it had all gone well, it was the biggest relief. It was a weight I’d been carrying for a year.”
Chris says the family are now looking forward to spending Christmas together, with the kidney transplant giving them all a sense of hope for the future.
“I’m looking forward to doing normal stuff with James, playing music, hanging out,” Chris explains.
“It’s done.
“It’s gone as well as it could and now we can try and move on.”
Robbie is Oz to the races

ROBBIE WILLIAMS had the world at his feet as he performed in the middle of the crowd at the Melbourne Cup.
The Brit was the headline performer at the annual Australian horse race.
And he delighted the audience with a set featuring Feel, Rock DJ, Angels and Let Me Entertain You.
Robbie was dressed in a striking all-red outfit for the performance, which was watched by almost 100,000 fans at Flemington Racecourse.
Robbie is currently on tour Down Under, ahead of a well-earned break for the first half of 2027.
But then he will kick-off a summer of performances, beginning with a headline set at the Isle Of Wight Festival next June.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE are preparing to pop the champagne as their new record, Perfecth, is on course to become their second No1 tomorrow.
And in an exclusive chat, frontman Josh Homme has opened up about the final track on the album, Run Away From The Mob, which features Dave Grohl on drums.
Dave recorded his part way back in 2013, but Josh admitted he didn’t feel ready to finish the song until they started making Perfecth.
“It comes from [sixth album] Like Clockwork,” Josh revealed.
“It didn’t make sense for that record, and I didn’t understand this song. You know, some flowers take a long time to bloom.
“You can’t force open the petals of a flower, and you hope that’s what you have. I also think this is a really good example of everyone in Queens at their best.
“And Dave is so good at doing exactly what needs to be done as a drummer.”

JADE THIRLWALL has made history as the first member of a British girl group to have a solo track with no featured artist chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her breakthrough single, Angel Of My Dreams, has become a US hit – two years after its release. But that’s not been a surprise for the former Little Mix star, who said she kept being told it was going to have a resurgence.
Jade, whose track was given a boost when Kylie Jenner walked to it at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show last month, said: “I actually do think that enough people thought that enough to speak it into existence. I’d seen a psychic who said the same thing, and an astrologer.”
Jade was in Little Mix for over a decade until they went on hiatus in 2022, but reckons there’s more love for them now than ever – and she hopes they could one day headline Glastonbury.
She told The Pop Pod: “I could see that happening for sure. When the Little Mix medley comes on, people go crazy for it.
“All these places that we didn’t get to go to properly and they’re craving it. There’s a nostalgia people want.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA has given his fans an insight on Snapchat into the music he uses to inspire him before a fight, as he prepares to take on Tyson Fury at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11.
And I have to admit, our AJ is a nostalgic man.
From So Solid Crew’s Dilemma 2 to Dizzee Rascal’s Creeper Freestyle, AJ is loving the old-school, with some added R&B classics in there, including Jaheim’s Just In Case.
Looking at the sheer size of Tyson though, I’d be much more inclined to have added Iron Maiden’s Run To The Hills.
NOEL GALLAGHER, Lily Allen and Brian Eno were among the stars in the room as U2 returned to the stage in an exclusive concert for the BBC at London’s Tate Modern on Tuesday.

ITV bosses are said to be left scrambling to come up with ideas as This Morning faces the possibility of being off air for a second day following a power outage at the studios

It was first revealed by Lorraine Kelly that her show wouldn’t air due to the outage, although she explained that bosses were hopeful that normal scheduling would resume as soon as possible. However, This Morning and Loose Women were then cancelled due to the outage.
Good Morning Britain was extended by an additional half hour to fill the void. However, sources now claim that bosses behind the scenes are worried that the power issues will not be resolved in time for tomorrow’s daytime schedule.

“It appears to be a wider area outage rather than just the studio, and it’s not an easy fix,” a source told The Sun. They added: “Daytime is worried about plans going south for the rest of the week. Lots of work and planning could go to waste.”
Earlier today, ITV addressed the scheduling issues caused by the power cut. In a statement, the network said: “Following a power cut overnight in the wider area where our Covent Garden studio is based, we are unable to broadcast Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women live today. We will return to our normal schedule as soon as possible.”
The trouble began this morning when Lorraine Kelly was the first to reveal ITV were having issues with their daytime shows. She revealed she was on the way to work when she was told there was a power outage and her show couldn’t run.
Meanwhile, Lorraine said on social media: “Hello there, I’m on my way to work, but there’s been a little bit of a hoo-ha. There’s a power outage at the studio, so my show won’t be on today. But you can still watch GMB.
“They’re going to fix it around 11 o’clockish. So, This Morning will still be on as well, just a bit later. It’s a bit of a shame. I was really looking forward to Sharleen Spiteri from Texas, but we shall reschedule, and it’ll all be fine. I will see you tomorrow!”
Although it was originally planned for This Morning to be delayed, it was subsequently replaced by best bits from past episodes of This Morning. Loose Women was also completely off air.
Fans were left fuming by the outage, and had hoped it would be fixed in time for both This Morning and Loose Women but that wasn’t the case. “Ahh, the gremlins have got in! #ThisMorning,” one fan wrote, as another added: “@itv all over the place today.. no #lorraine cutting #gmb off.”
Eurocamp has announced a major change affecting its popular Spain holiday parks from 2026 but it could be good news for Brits looking for a sunny getaway

Eurocamp parks (or parcs, as they call them) are already a firm favourite with Brits looking for cheap and cheerful getaways in the summer, with sites across plenty of popular destinations including France, Italy and Spain. Now, the holidays giant has announced it will be making a major change to a number of its Spanish locations, in what could be good news for holidaymakers.
That’s because for the first time ever, Eurocamp is going to be offering winter sun holidays, kicking off in 2026. While typically Eurocamp sites close for the winter, this year there will be three parcs remaining open throughout the colder months; Alannia Costa Blanca and Alannia Guardamar in Costa Blanca (home to Benidorm), and Alannia Els Prats in Costa Dorada (home to Salou), with prices from £452 per party during the quieter seasons.
It marks the first time that Brits can opt for Eurocamp breaks in Spain during Christmas, or even for February half term. However, they’re not the only destinations on offer. Eurocamp already has sites in the French Alps which are open during the ski season, as well as its Paris-Est location which is popular with Brits hoping to visit the French capital for its Christmas markets.
It’s not the only brand to offer up holiday parks during the winter months. For example, Center Parcs has a number of sites in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, including one park just a stone’s throw away from Disneyland Paris.
For Brits who are after winter sun but don’t want to commit to jet-setting off to far-flung Caribbean islands, Spain and its islands can be an ideal compromise. In fact, the popular country has 8 of Europe’s 10 sunniest cities according to research from travel pros at Holidu. Cities such as Cordoba or Malaga, in the southern part of Spain, are where you’ll likely have more luck given temperatures average 19C in November, while Barcelona keeps a balmy 15C although it does get cooler in the evenings.
Meanwhile the Canary Islands are famed for their year-round sunshine, and can enjoy temperatures of up to 23C as late as early December. So while it may not be warm enough for swimming in the sea, it’s still pleasant enough that you can enjoy the outdoors whether you wander along the bustling promenades, or want a lunch al fresco. (Not to mention the cooler mornings are ideal for those who want to kick off the day with a hike around those volcanic landscapes).

WASHINGTON — Control of Congress hangs in the balance as Americans head to the polls Tuesday to vote in a historic set of midterm elections that will determine how power is divided for the rest of President Trump’s time in office.
A robust turnout appeared possible, after months of polls suggesting voters’ frustration with cost-of-living issues may drive them to the polls. More than 59 million Americans had already cast ballots in early voting, according to the University of Florida Election Lab.
The campaign has largely been marked by Democrats’ unexpected traction in red states, resulting in Senate races that have been far more competitive than anticipated. Whether that translates into losses for Republicans could become a nail-biter Tuesday night.
Polling shows Democrats poised to make significant gains in the U.S. House and well-positioned for swing Senate races, but analysts say the Senate majority could go either way. Several gubernatorial seats are also open, and some contests have become unexpectedly close, including in Georgia, Kansas, Texas and Florida.
Eyes will be on a handful of bellwether House races as the polls begin closing, with a Kentucky district expected to be the first to offer clues as to how good a night it may be for Democrats.
For weeks, the midterms have appeared poised to deliver a referendum on Trump’s second term and the state of the economy. Americans’ approval of the president has sunk to historic lows as they have cited concerns about affordability, corruption and immigration as driving factors for their votes.
On Monday and over the weekend, candidates made their final pushes to persuade voters.
Democrats, hoping to clench voter support for a “blue wave,” hammered home their arguments about affordability, corruption and the perceived toll of Trump’s governance, aiming to sway non-Democratic voters.
“This election is a battle between the powers that be and the powers that ought to be,” Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico of Texas said at a Sunday night rally. “We are standing with the powers that ought to be — the teachers and the nurses, the farmers and the ranchers, the grandmother who is facing eviction.”
Republicans, anticipating losses in the House, focused on delivering dire warnings to voters about Democratic candidates, whom they have portrayed throughout the campaign as extreme, dangerous and in some cases a threat to the American way of life.
“This race is about defending our state and our country, but it’s also about safeguarding our way of life,” Texas Atty. Gen. Ken Paxton, the state’s Republican nominee for Senate, said Sunday. “Texas has never been this close to slipping away. We’ve never been this close to losing everything that we hold dear — our jobs, our livelihoods, our way of life.”
As voters cast ballots Tuesday, the Justice Department’s election monitors fanned out at polling sites across the country. Thousands of volunteers nationwide were also mobilized to be poll monitors, a backlash to the idea of potential federal election interference.
Trump sent out a flurry of last-minute social media endorsements for Republican congressional candidates and called in to the “Fox and Friends” show to make a final case. Democratic candidates dropped last-minute ads urging voters to head to the polls.
However, the contestants had to put their own money on the line for the chance to win the jackpot. This is something that no previous UK quiz show has done before.
The contestants brought their own bank cards and bet money, depending on how confident they were in answering general knowledge questions. Correct answers won bet balls that carried monetary value, which players could either cash out or risk by firing them into the Million Pound Shot machine in an attempt to win £1 million.
Viewers were introduced to Helen, Reece, and Mark, who had chosen to risk £1,500, £1,700 and £1,000 of their own money, respectively. As Reece later found himself £6,000 down, an angry audience member was heard shouting: “The concept of this is disgusting.”
The footage cut out, before Bradley returned to the studio to explain: “What you’ve just witnessed wasn’t all that it seemed. The whole thing was a performance… Everything you’ve seen tonight draws on the techniques used by the gambling industry to manipulate its customers.”

The character of Reece was inspired by a real man called Patrick, who later shared his story. Bradley issued a warning to viewers, saying: “I should warn you that what we’re about to explore may be difficult and upsetting for some viewers. Because, like any addiction, gambling can cause serious harm.”
The programme quickly left viewers divided. “The most obvious fake show I’ve ever seen,” one person wrote on X. Another added: “This makes zero sense at all.” A third said: “How absolutely ridiculous.” Someone else commented: “Bradley Walsh and Channel 4 presenting an anti-gambling stunt is prob the strangest TV ep I’ve ever seen.”
Meanwhile, other viewers praised the show for raising awareness of gambling. “Well played C4. A subject that needs airtime,” someone wrote.
Another added: “#MillionPoundShot had me frighteningly uncomfortable with the idea of a national broadcaster normalising people gambling/losing huge, unaffordable, life-changing money. It seemed so stupidly irresponsible. Thank god for that twist. A hugely important message.” A third said: “Kudos to Brad and those involved for highlighting the seriousness of gambling advertising and addiction.”
Sharing his thoughts on the programme, Bradley previously said: “This programme is unlike anything we’ve seen on British TV before. And when I heard about this format, I thought it was one of the most original and surprising quiz shows I’d ever encountered. Alongside playing with their own money, there are more twists and turns along the way. I’m excited for everyone to see how it plays out.”

Travellers planning flights at the airport will have their plans changed as the hub undergoes a renovation with the hopes to increase footfall in the future
EasyJet will be impacted by the closure of the airport in November(Image: Getty Images)
An airport in a popular European city will close in November, leaving busy airlines grounded at Naples Capodichino Airport. The airport is one of the busiest in Italy – but it will shut for major works.
The modernisation works come with the aim to increase passenger numbers. Around 13 million travellers pass through the hub annually, but this is expected to rise to 17.3 million by 2035. Footfall in November will slump however, with major airlines impacted by the closure.
The works include the refurbishment of the runway, a second terminal for non-Schengen flights, which would include flights to the UK, new aircraft stands, a new area for cargo and logistics and a new hotel, with road links and underground connections. The area surrounding the airport will also be redeveloped.
Naples Airport website states: “Naples Airport will be closed in November 2026 for extensive and planned runway upgrades, in compliance with stringent industry regulations and in line with GESAC’s priority commitment to ensuring the highest safety standards.”
Airlines operating out of Naples airport include include easyJet from London Gatwick and Ryanair from London Stansted, Manchester and Edinburgh.
Travellers now need to head to the new Salerno-Pontecagnano Airport for the duration of the closure. The airport is scheduled to reopen on November 30.
GESAC, the company managing the Naples airport, has launched a shuttle bus between Naples Piazza Garibaldi and Salerno Costa d’Amalfi and Cilento Airport to help travellers get to the airport.
There will be eight services in each direction per day at a cost of €12 (£10.04) per person. There is also a train from Naples Central to Salerno for £5 per way.
