In a world that’s desperate for authenticity, Charley Hull has no filter. On a tour that’s desperate for attention, Charley Hull can’t step up to the mic enough.

Like it or lump it.

Hull has tossed out that phrase many times over the course of her career, whether the topic is cigarettes or politics (see President Donald Trump state dinner at Windsor Castle) or pranks.

This week at the AIG Women’s British Open, 30-year-old Hull went viral for what many considered a cruel prank played on longtime caddie Adam Woodward. Hull bought a fake scratch-off lottery ticket at a prank store in Blackpool earlier this week and tricked Woodward into thinking he’d won 100,000 pounds. To pour fuel on the matter, she videoed the whole thing and posted it on her social feeds.

Woodward and Hull don’t have a typical player/caddie relationship. She thinks of him like a brother. And Woodward insists he wasn’t bothered by it all. Thought it was funny.

On Thursday, Hull was asked if she’d seen the online backlash over the prank. She hadn’t, as she typically deletes her social media accounts during majors.

That’s when she first said that everyone needs to lighten up, and if they don’t like it, “they can lump it.”

On Friday, not long after Hull holed out for birdie from one of 166 bunkers at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Hull admitted to only sleeping for three hours the night before. When asked if the prank fallout impacted her, she said no. It actually fuels her.

“They actually make me want to do better because I think we live in a world where you can't do anything wrong these days,” she said. “Then it stops people from living the life they want to. I think I don't care. I just live me. My family and friends around me, we just live it how we want to. Our household, we got a lot of banter, and are always taking the mickey out of each other. It's just the way I've been brought up, and I think people just need to be a bit more tough-skinned.”

Hull even took it a step further, saying that those who are in the limelight would be silly not to expect negative comments.

“I think you see some people saying I really struggle from these comments,” said Hull. “They're almost looking for sympathy. I'm just like, imagine – you're in such a good position in life. There are people way worse off in life and you're moaning about what people are saying about you.

“I just think like, I don't know, grow a pair of balls and just forget about it, do you know what I mean? Because if that's the worst thing in life, people saying bad stuff about you, you really have not got life that bad.”

Hull credits some of that perspective to her Polish grandmother, whom she called “Babby,” a tough, ruthless woman who led a difficult life. Hull, by contrast, plays a game for a living and has made more than $12 million inside the ropes. She knows she’s fortunate.

After a second-round 71, Hull trails clubhouse leader Shiho Kuwaki by four strokes, still within striking distance heading to the weekend. To win this championship, her home Open, is the dream scenario.

Hull said she’d buy 100 proper scratch-off tickets for Woodward if they have a good week.

Probably a good idea either way.

CAMP DAVID, Maryland/WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said his "anti-weaponization" fund was dead despite his affinity for it amid a standoff with fellow Republicans in the Senate that has stalled his bid to get acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche in the role permanently.

"It is dead, but I wish it weren't, to be honest with you. I think people were horribly treated, horribly abused," he said during a cabinet meeting, one day after threatening to withdraw the nomination until next year after two key opposing senators leave office. "I'd like to see them compensated for the pain."

He urged Republican senators to confirm Blanche and warned that they "will never get anybody like him." He also criticized Senator John Cornyn for holding up Blanche's nomination, claiming that the Republican lawmaker supported Blanche until Trump endorsed Cornyn's primary opponent.

"I’d be upset also," Trump said. "I fully understand it. He shouldn't be that way. I shouldn't be that way."

Cornyn and fellow Republican Senator Thom Tillis have held up Blanche's nomination while seeking written assurances that the Justice Department will not set up the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" program. Trump critics have derided it as a slush fund to reward supporters with taxpayer money.

Blanche has previously told senators that the fund was dead, but has so far not agreed to put that in writing.

Earlier in the day, Trump defended Blanche in a social media post, calling for his confirmation and referring to the fund in the present tense.

Tillis said Trump's post indicated he thought it was operational.

"The president made it clear today that the so-called Anti-Weaponization Fund is still alive, which is exactly why we are attempting to formally end it," Tillis said in a post on X. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Trump's statement that the fund was dead.

Tillis said he would keep working to break the impasse and blamed "an incompetent personal advisor" to Trump for standing in the way of a settlement.

Cornyn and Tillis, whose Senate terms end in early January, were closer to an agreement after meeting with Blanche late Thursday afternoon, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Blanche, Trump's former personal lawyer who was named acting attorney general in April, has also met with Republican Senator John Curtis.

Despite the dispute, Blanche likely does not need to be confirmed to effectively serve as attorney general for Trump's remaining term in the White House, given that acting officials can serve as long as their nomination is pending in the Senate and their nomination is not formally rejected or withdrawn.

The "anti-weaponization" fund was crafted as part of a legal settlement between ​Trump and the Justice Department to resolve his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over allegedly mishandling his tax records, but it was put on hold amid opposition from congressional Republicans.

The fund could benefit Trump allies who have said they were unfairly targeted by the federal government for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol after Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020.

Cornyn on Thursday said he was waiting for the Justice Department to formalize assurances that it would not implement the fund. Cornyn and Tillis also object to an IRS deal that would prevent tax audits of Trump and his associates.

Trump wrote that the fund "will not benefit me, but rather the great American Patriots who were hunted down like dogs and whose lives were unfairly and illegally destroyed."

Tillis said those who attacked law enforcement should still be in prison and should not get a check from the federal government.

This week, Ella Langley beat a chart record held by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. The country singer’s Choosin’ Texas has now spent 15 weeks atop the BillboardHot 100, making it the longest-running US No 1 by a female solo artist for a non-holiday single. The previous record holders, Houston’s I Will Always Love You and Carey’s We Belong Together, were bombastic pop events, the sort of unassailable hits that make sense as Hot 100 chartbusters. Choosin’ Texas, meanwhile, is a midtempo two-step with a relaxed vocal delivery and decidedly retro sound.

For Victoria Banks, a Nashville-based songwriter and instructor at Belmont University, the song’s breeziness is key to its success. “It’s a sleeper hit – it’s understated and unassuming,” she says. “Everything about the song throws back to a simpler time in country music that people are really craving.”

Related: ‘A sublime, breezy confection’: writers on their 2026 songs of the summer

The lyrics to Choosin’ Texas tell the story of a Tennessee woman who accompanies her lover on a trip back to his home state of Texas – and discovers in real time that “his heart still belongs to the Lone Star state”. It’s heartbreak on a classic-country scale, which Langley expresses with lyrical homages to decades-old hits by Jerry Reed, Ronnie Millsap and George Strait. The danceable, guitar- and pedal steel-forward production evokes country hits from the late 70s and early 80s, albeit with a contemporary gloss.

“There are a lot of throwback elements to the song, but it was obviously recorded in a very modern way,” Banks says. “It’s not so throwback that we don’t relate to it.”

In a sign of country music’s continued dominance in the pop sphere, Choosin’ Texas is one of five country songs currently in the US top 10 on the all-genre Hot 100. Given country’s abysmal track record when it comes to playing women, it’s not for nothing that each of these songs – including Taylor Swift’s I Knew It, I Knew You, Stella Lefty’s Boston and Langley’s own Be Her and her Morgan Wallen duet I Can’t Love You Anymore – features a woman as the lead artist.

Historically, during moments when country crosses over into the mainstream, tensions arise over just how far the music has strayed from its roots. “Someone killed country music, cut out its heart and soul,” George Strait famously declared on Murder on Music Row, a 2000 duet with Alan Jackson lamenting the state of the Nashville industry in the late 90s – when artists including Faith Hill and Lonestar ruled the airwaves with ultrasmooth, country-pop confections. In more recent history, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter provoked endless discourse about what constitutes country music and who gets to participate.

Choosin’ Texas has largely dodged criticism of being “too pop”, in part due to the cleverness of the songwriting. Co-written with Miranda Lambert, Joybeth Taylor and Luke Dick, the song folds country signifiers – two-stepping, Texas and Tennessee, the interstate – into the emotional story in a way that feels organic. Even the requisite Jack Daniels mention serves a narrative purpose; it matters that it’s Tennessee whiskey she’s drinking all by herself.

“All of these writers have been working in the Nashville market for years,” Banks explains. “So even though this is a song that they said they spat out in 30 minutes or whatever, it was coming through their instincts that have been developed for a long time about what is hooky and what pulls people in.”

Brian Mansfield, managing editor of the trade publication Country Insider, says that the song’s twangy-but-smooth sound makes it appealing to program directors – whether in country, pop or adult contemporary – who tend to avoid songs that would sound jarringly rootsy next to fluffier pop fare. “It’s a song that sounds good next to almost anything you can play, and that is an underrated part of creating the music mix for any format,” he says.

The song’s versatility also makes it well-suited to streaming playlists. According to Luminate, Choosin’ Texas racked up over half a billion streams in the first half of the year alone, making it the most-streamed song in the country by a wide margin.

As well as co-signs from veteran singers such as Swift and Shania Twain, the song has also – as is now often a prerequisite for streaming success – been boosted by various viral social media moments. In October, shortly after Choosin’ Texas was released, TikTok user Lane Gorrell posted a video of himself performing an interpretive dance to the song in front of some nonplussed-looking cows. The clip racked up millions of views, and Gorrell eventually took his dance all the way to the Grand Ole Opry.

Then came the misheard lyric videos. Around January, in an echo of Taylor Swift’s famous “Starbucks lovers” saga from 2014, users started posting videos claiming they misheard the title phrase as “Jews in Texas” or even “Jews and Taxes”. Some also reported hearing the words “drinking Jack all by myself” as “drink and jack off by myself”. Langley laughed off the misheard lyrics in an interview with podcaster Theo Von in April – which of course only drew more attention to the trend. A clip from the same interview of a clearly smitten Von butchering the word “tzatziki” in front of his crush also went viral.

Enter the Ella Fellas. Langley’s male fanbase has made itself known with all manner of viral content, from uncomfortably earnestlip-syncing videos to clips of themselves looking enraptured at her concerts; there have even been Ella Fella birthday parties. Langley’s team has nurtured this following, reposting popular videos and sending Ella Fellas T-shirts to some of her most ardent supporters. In comparison with many pop fandoms, whose obsessions can skew antisocial, the Ella Fellas seem like a remarkably sane and joyous bunch.

“It’s one of those things that brings people together,” says Hunter Massey, a student at Georgia Southern University and TikToker whose videos of himself going buck wild to country songs have earned him an audience of his own. “There can be people from different walks of life, different parts of the country, but we all seem to have this love for her music, and that’s what makes us Ella Fellas.”

Massey is among the growing ranks of creators who get paid to post videos using artists’ songs on TikTok – including Langley’s. He says he sometimes turns down requests for songs that don’t speak to him, but he’s never had a problem promoting her music.

For him and other Ella Fellas, the appeal is in how down-to-earth she seems. She’s bolstered this perception with songs including Dandelion, where she sings that she “wasn’t made for a fancy crystal vase” and Somethin’ Simple, which finds her musing about giving up stardom in exchange for “a house on a hill, horse in the yard”.

“She’s not flashy, Hollywood, whatever,” Massey says. “It’s what we like about her.”

Hundreds of people in central Greece are being evacuated by sea after the coastal town they were in became hemmed in by one of the many wildfires raging across the country.

Around 500 people, mostly tourists, were left stranded after the fire broke out near Agios Vasileios in Viotia on Friday morning and rapidly spread on strong winds, local media report.

Another fire has broken out further along the coast, while firefighters continue to battle a large wildfire on the Greek island of Crete that ignited earlier this week.

Greece is one of several European nations suffering devastating wildfires after a succession of heatwaves created favourable conditions for them.

Firefighters in Portugal and Spain are still tackling blazes spanning thousands of hectares, with a new heatwave this week raising the risk of a massive fire near Madrid reigniting.

The area of central Greece where the two fires broke out this morning was considered the most at-risk due to high winds complicating firefighting efforts.

More than 200 people have been evacuated and another 100 are due to be taken by boat from Agios Vasileios, while emergency workers are attempting to safely remove those still in the town, according to Greek news agency Amna, citing fire officials.

People there had earlier been told by authorities to move further inland before the fire reached the outskirts of the town.

The fire further along the coast burnt through farmland before moving through the rural town of Xironomi.

Firefighters on Crete continue to tackle persistent hotspots in a wildfire that has torched thousands of hectares of land and prompted the temporary evacuation of 8,000 people.

Fires have also broken out on the islands of Paros, Andros and Kalymnos.

Most wildfires are sparked by humans, whether intentionally or accidentally, but climate change is making the conditions for them more common.

A wildfire on Crete has burnt through thousands of hectares of land

Last winter was mild and wet, encouraging vegetation growth, which has then dried out in successive hot spells, generating fuel for wildfires.

In Spain, more than 200,000 hectares of land has burnt in 2026 - roughly five times above the average by this point in the year - while the burnt land in Portugal is also higher than usual, EU data shows.

Hundreds of firefighters battled a blaze near Valpaços in northern Portugal that has torn through 15,000 hectares including vineyards and olive groves, news agency Lusa reported, citing officials. Five people have been injured by the fire, which has been burning since Tuesday.

A fire in the Ávila region of Spain, which has now been stabilised, is now considered the largest recorded wildfire in the nation's history, while fires that burned 66,000 hectares to the west of Madrid are contained.

However, officials are warning of a high risk of fires breaking out or re-emerging across most of the country until at least Sunday.

There are currently four active fires along Turkey's Mediterranean coastline, including near the popular tourist centre of Antalya, according to the country's agricultural ministry.

It says there have been 206 wildfires across the country since Wednesday.

We asked for your views on head coach Steven Pressley signing a new deal with Dundee.

Here is a selection of your replies:

Richie: Delighted to see him sign another contract. Would have liked more commitment from club and Steven with longer deal, but it clearly suits both parties. I like what I see with Pressley, Dundee need guys like him.

Craig: I like him. He's progressing the club and has an eye for a player. Look at how much Luke Graham improved over last season. Many young players improving under his guidance too. I hope we bring in a few and we can look forward to a couple of decent seasons with Mr Pressley at the helm.

Jim: The fans have warmed to Steven after a job well done in the end last season. Don't think the feeling is mutual though and feel like Pressley still holds a grudge for the murmurs of discontent at the beginning of last season. Let's home he can get over it and we all improve as one this season.

Roberto: Deserved it. And if he can get eighth again then they should up it further.

Martin: It makes sense the manager has a new contract, he is good for the club. It makes absolutely no sense that we find ourselves woefully short in central defence. Yes, Luke Graham had to go, but there was no need to sell Billy Koumetio and now Aaron Donnelly has been shipped out. Our owners have a lot to answer for but, as usual, they are mute.

Carl: Congrats Mr Pressley on your signing a new contract. After joining amid a lot of noise from some impatient, frustrated supporters, which you handled in dignified fashion, and rebuilding the team and backroom staff while implementing your style and formation of play which suited our players, we finished last season in a secure position. The more patient supporters know none of this could have been easy for you, and we all trust and hope that you successfully continue to improve our team in the top league.

Vitor Matos was named Swansea boss after the sacking of Alan Sheehan

Head coach Vitor Matos has agreed a new Swansea City contract which ties him to the Championship club until 2030.

Matos, 38, was appointed on a deal running until 2029 last November.

But Swansea's progress since Matos took charge has convinced the club's hierarchy to hand the Portuguese improved terms.

"From the moment I arrived here, I have sensed how powerful the connection between Swansea City and the fans and community is," said Matos.

"This is something very special, it is a feeling myself and the players love, and the desire to keep building that and sharing great moments together is one of the key motivations in extending my contract with the club."

Chief executive Tom Gorringe said "stability and consistency of vision" were important at what he called an "exciting time for the football club".

"Vitor made a considerable impact following his appointment in November of last year and we are excited about the direction in which he is taking Swansea City," Gorringe added.

"This new deal is a reflection of our belief in the work he and his team have done since joining us, and what we believe we can accomplish together under Vitor's stewardship."

Swansea finished 11th in 2025-26, just as they did in the previous campaign

Matos had only brief experience as a manager, at Portuguese club Maritimo, when Swansea turned to him after missing out on Kim Hellberg to Middlesbrough last year.

A former elite development coach at Liverpool – and assistant boss at Red Bull Salzburg – Matos steered Swansea clear of relegation trouble before securing an 11th-placed finish thanks to 14 wins in his 30 league games in charge.

Swansea will begin Matos' first full season in charge with increased expectations based on their improvement last term.

Swans bid farewell to Cullen, a player the coaches loved

Matos has been backed in the transfer market this summer, with Swansea thought to have spent a combined total of about £15m on Moussa Yeo, Elijah Just and Joseph Opoku as well as bringing in defender Stephen Welsh on a free.

There are more signings to come, although Swansea have sold influential midfielder Ethan Galbraith and it remains to be seen whether Zan Vipotnik, last season's Championship top scorer, will still be at the club when the summer transfer window closes.

"We put good foundations in place last season, but now we have to look forward, we have to keep pushing and making progress," Matos added.

"We have enjoyed a positive pre-season, and made good additions to our squad, and I am looking forward to the season ahead and beyond."

Matos' team play their final pre-season friendly at home to Leganes on Saturday before hosting Birmingham City in the Carabao Cup the following weekend.

The new league campaign starts with a trip to Stoke City on Saturday, 15 August.

Have your say - what do Swansea need this summer, and will Vipotnik stay?

A video shared by Donald Trump’s “most beautiful” aide has been hit with backlash on social media after the president attempted to walk off with an award for Montana State’s national championship football team.

On Tuesday, Margo Martin, a special assistant to the president and communications advisor, shared a video on X of Trump, whose marriage to Melania is at its lowest point due to a 'disturbing' reason, meeting with the MSU football team, who were at the White House to celebrate their 2025 FCS national championship.

In the 21-second clip, Trump is spotted being handed one of the team’s championship rings. After observing the ring for a moment, Trump proceeded to turn around and walk away from the team, ring in hand. It comes after Karoline Leavitt accidentally humiliated Trump as critics asked about his 'diaper'.

• Trump aides 'rush reporters out' as baffling meeting sparks fears 'something's wrong'

The players in front of him burst into laughter as he jokingly walked away with one of their championship rings.

Trump quickly returned the ring, as a player told him, “I got to take the top off, Mr. President.”

“What’s in there?” Trump asked as the player showed him how to remove the ring's top. The president patted the player on the arm before turning and walking away once more, this time without the award in his hand.

Martin captioned the video “@POTUS walks away with the Montana State University FCS National Championship ring.” Trump once branded his 31-year-old aide as “the most beautiful photographer in the world.”

Critics of the president’s joking behavior flooded Trump’s aide’s comment section with disapproval of the moment. One user slammed the president, writing, “Trump still stealing awards he never earned? Petulant child.”

“Trump steals another award. Shocking,” another user wrote. A third wrote, “He stole another prize that didn’t belong to him.”

“A presidential souvenir from a college team? That ring belongs to the players, not to a politician,” said someone else on X.

While the team presented the president with a customized MSU jersey, he wasn’t gifted a championship ring, and it appeared he was joking about taking the award for a brief moment.

This isn’t the first time Trump has faced controversy in relation to awards. At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Trump appeared onstage at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to present Chelsea with the championship medals with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Critics slammed Trump for one moment on stage when he was seen stashing one of the medals into the pocket of his suit jacket.

The New York Times reported at the time that Infantino had gifted him a winner’s medal. However, the moment still drew backlash, with viewers questioning why he took a medal.

It comes after disrespectful Trump was slammed for a 'disgusting' act during Lindsey Graham's funeral.

Kate Cassidy has shared that she’s currently undergoing laser treatments to temporarily remove tattoos that honored her late boyfriend Liam Payne

The influencer said she wanted the inkings to be finer and did not like their placement on her hand and fingers

The tattoos, including angel wings and the number 444, held deep personal meaning tied to their relationship

Kate Cassidy is temporarily removing some of her tattoo tributes to her late boyfriend, Liam Payne.

The influencer, 27, shared a TikTok video getting the ink removed using a laser treatment at Skin Club Miami on Tuesday, July 28. She explained that she loved “the story and the meaning behind these tattoos,” but that she hated “the placement” of them.

Cassidy filmed herself getting a pair of angel wings blitzed, along with the number “4.” She also posted a picture on her Instagram Stories, appearing to get the angel number “444” removed, according to Page Six.

“Decided to get some tattoos removed that were done poorly, will be getting redone eventually ❣️,” she wrote.

The content creator got a pair of matching angel wings on her right index and middle fingers two months after the One Direction star died following a fall from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October 2024. His official cause of death was ruled as “polytrauma,” or multiple injuries to multiple organs.

The angel wing inkings were symbolic of the tribute the influencer wrote two days after Payne’s death where she referred to him as an “angel.” “Liam, my angel. You are everything. I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely,” she penned. “I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam.”

Cassidy also had the angel numbers 444 inked on her hand, which held significant meaning for the couple. In the weeks after her late boyfriend’s death, Cassidy posted several photos of her and Payne on Instagram, including a note the singer wrote that revealed his intentions for them to get engaged and married within a year.

“I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it. It said, ‘Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444,’” she wrote in a message featured in the gallery.

Eight months after Payne’s death, Cassidy posted a tribute to the singer on Instagram, where she wrote: “I love you my angel❤️444.”

In the recent TikTok video, Cassidy explained that she also disliked the thickness of the tattoos, which were pitched to her as being “fine line” inkings.

“Obviously, these tattoos are really special to me. I am going to get them redone, but I’m going to get them really faint and fine line just like this hand and then I’m going to get them moved down here,” she said.

She also claimed that she could not wear rings because of the placement of her current finger tattoos.

On Thursday, July 30, Cassidy replied to a comment on her TikTok, which said: “She don’t love him no more 😬.”

“Okay, I knew some of you guys would be offended at the fact that I am deciding to laser off these tattoos on my body,” Cassidy said in the video.

She further explained that she went “somewhere really random” for her first tattoos and expected to get something “very faint, very fine,” but instead ended up with “thick, bulky” ink.

“And listen, the meaning behind all my tattoos are so, so special to me, so I’m not lasering them off for any other means other than the fact that I’m going to get them redone somewhere else that has experience in fine line tattoos and just get them moved down,” she added.

Palestinians inspect the site of Wednesday's Israeli strike on a house in Gaza City, 30 July 2026.

US President Donald Trump says the Board of Peace has reached an agreement for the "complete disarmament" of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.

A senior Hamas official has told the BBC the group has agreed to the Board of Peace's plan to completely disarm in Gaza and that an official statement would be released soon. Israel has yet to comment.

The board, created and led by Trump,said in a statement that the agreement concludes months of "intensive, good faith negotiations", and that itsfocus is now on implementation.

It is part of the second phase of a US-brokered Gaza ceasefire plan includes the disarmament of Hamas, the withdrawal of Israeli troops and the reconstruction of Gaza.

Hamas says it agrees to disarm in Gaza after Trump announces Board of Peace plan, with Israel yet to comment

The US president said Israel would withdraw from Gaza "as disarmament is completed" and called the agreement "a critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government".

"The International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbours," he said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump said the agreement marked a "major milestone in the implementation of the Trump 20-Point Plan", and he thanked mediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.

The plan, unveiled in September last year, included the creation of the Board of Peace to oversee the agreement's implementation and "handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza".

Founding members of the board, aside from the US, include Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

The UK, France and China are among some of the countries to hold off on joining the group since its establishment, with some citing concerns in relation to international law and the UN.

Though started as part of Trump's Gaza peace plan, it is believed the board has since widened its scope, with its website describing the organisation as a more general, "international peace-building body".

Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan in full

A US official, asked on a call with reporters about how hopeful the US is that Israel will agree to withdraw from Gaza once Hamas has disarmed, said, "We're not asking Israel to do anything other than agree to the 20-point plan that they agreed to, initially. And so we're very confident they will adhere to it."

If Israel decides not to withdraw, Trump would be "very disappointed", the official said. The official said the US believes Israel would continue to be a good partner.

Though it initially agreed to the plan, Israel remains highly sceptical of Hamas's willingness to disarm.

The BBC has seen the agreement, which provides for the inventorying and storage of Hamas's remaining heavy weapons under Palestinian supervision. This potentially removes the most significant obstacle to advancing the Trump-backed peace initiative for Gaza.

US officials said smaller groups in Gaza would be disarmed first, before Hamas begins dismantling what they described as its state-like military infrastructure of tunnels, weapons depots and production facilities - a process they acknowledged would take considerably longer.

The officials said the plan was deliberately built on "zero trust" and with verification, with neither Hamas nor Israel moving to the next phase until the other has fulfilled its commitments.

In Gaza, the announcement has been met with little public enthusiasm.

Many Palestinians have grown deeply sceptical of political breakthroughs, with previous agreements having repeatedly broken down before delivering meaningful improvements on the ground.

According to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry, at least 1,168 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect last October.

Four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Palestinian attacks in Gaza over the same period.

Cairo is set to host a meeting "soon" of the Gaza truce mediators, which also include the United States, Qatar and Turkey, state-linked Al-Qahera News reported early Friday.

Earlier in the day, unnamed sources who spoke to Reuters reported that talks between the mediators and Hamas leaders in Cairo on implementing the US-brokered Gaza peace plan had made rare progress, but an Israeli official said the proposed terms were not satisfactory.

Following Trump's announcement, the Times of Israel reported, citing an unnamed source, that the agreement had been signed between negotiators from Hamas as well as the board and mediating countries.

But it said that "an Israeli office" issued a statement saying the disarmament proposal did not meet Israel's demands.

Earlier in the day, Israeli media reported that Israel was opposed to a deal that was being discussed with Hamas.

In April this year, Hamas rejected the disarmament plan of a top figure in Trump's Gaza peace efforts, a senior Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations told the BBC.

Earlier this month, Hamas elected a new leader, Khalil al-Hayya. He replaced Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by the Israeli military in Gaza in October 2024. As the chief negotiator for Hamas, Hayya led the group's delegations at indirect ceasefire talks, meeting mediators in Egypt and Qatar.

The BBC reported earlier this year that the board was originally thought to be aimed at helping end the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and oversee reconstruction. But its proposed charter does not mention the Palestinian territory and appears to be designed to supplant functions of the UN.

Hamas led an attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.

Israel responded by launching a massive military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 73,290 people have been killed, including 21,280 children, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are considered reliable by the UN.

In 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC), issued arrest warrants over alleged war crimes for Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, and as well as the military commander of Hamas, Mohammed Deif. Israel has said Deif was killed in an air strike.

Prime Minister Netanyahu condemned the ICC's decision as "antisemitic", while Hamas said the warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant had set an "important historical precedent".

A UN commission of inquiry said in September 2025 that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Israel's foreign ministry said it categorically rejected the report, denouncing it as "distorted and false".

Charlize Theron has been on a fashion-forward press tour promoting her role in The Odyssey, where she is part of a star-studded cast.

On July 30, the Oscar winner was in China for the movie’s Beijing premiere.

At the event, the actress—who plays Calypso in the epic film—debuted a shorter, two-tone blonde hairstyle with bangs.

Charlize Theron is a chameleon when it comes to her hair—whether it’s a fresh cut, color, or style, the actress is always up for a transformation.

Such was the case on July 30, when The Odyssey star attended the film’s Beijing premiere. Theron’s blonde hair was now two-tone and shorter, complete with bangs done by her longtime hairstylist Adir Abergel. She tagged him in an Instagram post that she captioned, “Bangs came to play. So did @givenchy💋,” a nod to the designer of her plunging optical illusion gown.

Theron plays Calypso in Christopher Nolan’s epic film, where Abergel used mousse scrunched in her hair “for a gritty look,” Allure reported, along with a leave-in conditioner and serum from Virtue Labs (Abergel is creative director of the brand). Makeup department head Luisa Abel kept her makeup “tanned and broken down, with a more outdoor feel,” which signalled the “warrior, self-sufficient aspect of her character.”

Of her work with Abergel, Theron told Red, “The thing I love about him as a hairdresser is that sometimes we overthink it with our hair, and when our hair is overdone, you see it. His philosophy is not to do so much to it.”

“It’s the little things, like don’t blow dry your entire head—blow dry pieces and integrate it into the rest of your hair,” she continued. “You can handle it much better when it’s not so intricate.”

Abergel told The Telegraph that Theron’s “pixie cuts have been iconic. We have loved creating so many reinvented versions of the short cut—each has had its own moment.” The outlet reported that Abergel works alongside colorist Tracey Cunningham to maintain Theron’s “bombshell blonde” look.

As many hairstyles and hair colors as Theron has rocked over the years—and there have been many—there was one that got a stamp of disapproval from her daughters. During a 2025 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the Oscar winner confirmed that she had a “real mullet” for her role in The Old Guard 2, which she was promoting at the time.

“I was in my bathroom and I was getting it cut and it had been already colored, and I just remember looking over and they both came into the room really excited, and then they just both froze,” she said. “And they just went [blank] and one started crying. One [of my kids] literally started bawling her eyes out.”

“I actually had to sit down with her and say, ‘We all get to be who we want to be, and right now, mom wants to wear a mullet,’” Theron said. “‘I don’t tell you what to do with your hair.’”

Theron said that her daughters are “mostly very girly, and they think of me as a princess, and they want mom to look like a princess.” That said, the actress said that she tends to “veer more towards the kind of edgy” and “masculine” style, and is more of a “jeans and [a] t-shirt” type of woman.

“When I go to school functions, my daughter’s always like, ‘Mom, can you please wear a dress?’” Theron joked.

Princess Diana’s wedding dress is considered one of the most iconic bridal looks in British royal family history.

The late royal married then-Prince Charles on July 29, 1981 at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London in front of 3,500 people, with a record-breaking 750 million viewers watching the nuptials on TV. Diana wore a custom ivory silk taffeta gown for the special occasion that featured a 25-foot-long train.

“It was all about drama and making Diana a fairytale princess,” designer Elizabeth Emanuel, who created the gown with her then-husband David, explained to British Vogue in September 2020. “The gown was typical of early ‘80s style — overblown, romantic, flouncy — but we had to get it right because we knew it would go down in history.”

Following their nuptials, Charles and Diana welcomed two children, Prince William and Prince Harry, before separating in 1992. The ex-couple’s divorce was finalized in 1996, and Diana died the following year, on Aug. 31, 1997.

So, what happened to Diana’s wedding dress? Here’s everything to know about the iconic gown, including who inherited it after her death.

Diana’s wedding dress was designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, a former husband-and-wife team who worked together until their divorce in 1990. Diana called their office herself to secretly request their services.

“It was such a special moment because I thought, ‘My life was going to change, David’s life. It’s never going to be the same again,’ ” Elizabeth later recalled at PEOPLE’s 2024 “Styling Princess Diana” panel at Fotografiska New York.

Elizabeth added that Diana didn’t “have any idea” about what she wanted and that they produced “lots and lots of sketches” to get it right. The final product featured a ruffled collar, puff sleeves and a voluminous skirt. Its defining detail, however, was a record-breaking 25-foot-long train that had to be “folded like a bedsheet” to fit inside the horse-drawn carriage that transported the bride to St. Paul’s Cathedral.

The dress was worth over $100,000 at the time

Diana’s dress is estimated to have cost $114,800 at the time, which would be equivalent to about $448,500 today. Instead of the full amount, however, Elizabeth and David charged 1,000 guineas for their work. Guineas were British coins made of gold mined in West Africa that were in circulation from 1663 to 1813.

“We would have given it to Diana for free,” Elizabeth told British Vogue in September 2020. “But that token amount seemed right, and my dad thought it would be romantic to use guineas.”

Her sons inherited the dress after her death

Following her death in 1997, Diana’s wedding dress was inherited by her and Charles’ two sons, William and Harry. The late royal left the gown to her children in her will. It remained under the care of her brother, Charles Spencer, until Harry turned 30, according to the Los Angeles Times.

It is currently unknown where the dress is stored.

In 2021, William and Harry loaned their late mother’s wedding gown to an exhibit at Kensington Palace titled Royal Style in the Making. Prior to the show’s opening, designer Elizabeth told PEOPLE that she couldn’t wait to see the dress again.

“It will be like seeing an old friend after all these years,” she said. “I was looking at the images again today, and I can’t believe how many sequins we sewed onto the dress. This is going to be a wonderful exhibition.”

The exhibit marked the first time that Diana’s gown had been on display in nearly 25 years. It was previously part of a July 1998 exhibit at Diana’s ancestral home, Althorp, where the late royal is buried.

Her wedding tiara is reportedly in her brother Charles’ possession

In addition to her 25-foot-long veil, Diana accessorized her wedding gown with the Spencer Tiara, an heirloom piece that had been in her family for generations.

The headpiece served as Diana’s “something borrowed,” and she went on to wear it several times after her wedding day.

In the years since her death, however, it has only been publicly worn once. Diana’s niece, Celia McCorquodale, wore the tiara for her own nuptials on June 16, 2018.

Today, the tiara is reportedly still in the possession of Diana’s brother, Charles, who inherited the piece upon their father John’s death in 1992.

Zoe Saldana made another memorable red carpet appearance as she attended the New York premiere of “Lioness Season 3” in Manhattan. The actress stepped out in a dramatic plunging draped dress from Balmain’s Fall 2026 collection, proving once again that understated glamor can make just as much of a statement. Styled by Petra Flannery, Saldana embraced the label’s signature sculptural aesthetic while keeping the rest of her accessories refined and elegant.

Zoe Saldana stuns in plunging Balmain draped dress at ‘Lioness’ Season 3 premiere

The Oscar-winning actress wore a black draped midi dress featuring a daring plunging neckline that dipped almost to her waist. This instantly drew attention to the structured bodice. The long-sleeved design was crafted from richly textured fabric with intricate ruching throughout. This gave the dress depth and movement from every angle.

A wrap-effect waist cinched her silhouette before flowing into an asymmetrical skirt. The thigh-high slit added another striking detail, as she flashed her toned legs as she walked the carpet.

Balmain’s expert draping created a sculpted fit without feeling overly structured. It did so by allowing the fabric to gather naturally across the front of the dress. The combination of sharp shoulders, soft pleats, and the deep neckline gave the monochrome look a modern, sophisticated edge that felt perfectly suited to the evening premiere.

Zoe Saldana completed the outfit with black pointed-toe pumps and minimal jewelry, letting the dress remain the center of attention. She wore a chunky gold statement necklace that was covered in black stud accents. Along with this, she wore a bunch of gold stacked rings and styled her dark hair in loose, effortless waves. Soft bronzed makeup, defined eyes, and a neutral lip finished the polished beauty look.

As she posed for photographers and greeted fans, the dress revealed its dynamic silhouette from every angle. Saldana’s Balmain ensemble was one of the standout fashion moments from the premiere, demonstrating how a timeless black dress can still command the spotlight.
