The BBC has apologised for not editing a racial slur out of its coverage of Sunday’s Bafta Film Awards ceremony prior to broadcast. A BBC spokesperson said: “Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during the Bafta Film Awards. “We apologise that this was not edited out prior to broadcast and it will now be removed from the version on BBC iPlayer.” Following the incident, the Bafta Film Awards was removed from the BBC’s iPlayer streaming service. It comes after Tourette syndrome charity Tourettes Action said it “deeply understands” the harm of the racial slur, but called for understanding of the condition. Mr Davidson, Bafta, Tourette Scotland, Lindo and Jordan have been contacted for comment.

“People say he isn’t very quick, but it was a course record in the King George. I was nervous he wasn’t fit enough for Haydock, but he exceeded our expectations there, while the King George was an exceptional day. “He’s come out of the King George very well and in fact better than I expected. “Having a horse of his calibre in such good form going into the Gold Cup is extremely exciting. “It’s a dream to have a horse to run in the Gold Cup and go there with a chance,” he said.

Four years was the duration of the fight against the Nazis in which Ukraine under German occupation lost 10 million of its people. Four years ago today marks the anniversary of the start of what Vladimir Putin dubbed a “Special Military Operation”, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. By the end of 2022, Ukraine had liberated around half the land seized by Russia during the initial stage of the invasion. The most recent round of talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States in Geneva concluded recently without a breakthrough. And the outrageous attempt by Hungary to block both a €90 billion EU loan and another round of sanctions against Russia is deeply regrettable.

It’s confusing for them — they’re learning both the cutesie inaccurate word, as well as having to learn the accurate word. This, says Daly, is motivating for the baby: “Babies light up when you copy them. One study that summarised much of the research found parentese encourages more conversational turns between parents and babies, leading to stronger language development outcomes. Parentese is simplified, not silly;Letting your voice be expressive holds baby’s attention — no need to exaggerate it;Follow baby’s focus. For babies, parentese is comfort, connection, and learning all wrapped in one.”

The nub of the bubbling episode surrounding teen striker Michael Noonan is believed to centre on third-party transfer fee cuts. A report in the Sunday Times confirmed that the player’s family lodged a complaint with the English FA about his agent. His club, Shamrock Rovers, confirmed on Monday they are not under investigation on that matter but are assisting Fifa after discovering “two agency agreements” within the club.

The Rovers statement, issued on Monday morning, stressed that Medlar and his board only became aware of the agreements in August.

Viewed from Europe, the US’s failure to defend the people of Ukraine against Russian aggression is the greatest and most consequential of a host of recent American betrayals. Valeriia Deikun, Kate Melmik, Lada Samusenka and Sasha Tsipan at a commemorative rally on the fourth anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Grand Parade, Cork. As the full-scale war Putin launched in 2022 stumbles into its fifth bloody year this Tuesday, Europe, like Russia, is in deep trouble. Yet so too is the US, though Trump and his mouthy muppets, Marco Rubio and JD Vance, don’t realise it yet. And where better to start than in Ukraine, the actual and symbolic frontline in the battle between liberal democracy and the Trump-Putin axis?

A significant capital development plan for Cork Airport, currently under way, will support Cork’s international connectivity into the future. However, timelines and funding streams for the delivery of key projects like Luas Cork and the Northern Distributor Road remain uncertain. The cumulative impact of so many important projects for Cork will be transformative for the city and wider southern region. The end goal of this ambition, investment and development is a more competitive Cork region, a vision shared by businesses and the wider community. The future of our city region will be shaped by the challenges we face and our response to them.
