The Very Revd Toby Wright, Dean of Wells, will be among those taking part in the challenge. "Monks in the Greek Islands use it as a spiritual discipline and it is both enormously good fun, and a great way to develop a can-do attitude. The event will include full training and a safety briefing from the Firewalk UK team. Gavin Osborn, fundraising manager for SWEDA, said: "This is our first event in Wells, and to have a firewalk right on the cathedral green is going to create a fantastic spectacle. SWEDA has supported people of all ages with eating disorders for more than 30 years.

I’m still not sure whether I’ve just attended a comedy night headlined by Ed Byrne, or an Ed Byrne show with not one, but two, support acts. Far from being short-changed, however, both of the supporting performers contributed unusually long sets before Byrne took to the stage. The Corn Hall in St Nicholas Street, Diss. Picture: Google MapsFirst up was Justin Panks, who had come all the way from Norwich to find out whether or not Diss was posh. With no disrespect intended to his supporting colleagues, Ed Byrne immediately took the evening up a notch.

In the past few days, Donald Trump turned the US presidency into a tool for his personal glory and vengeance. After being snubbed for last year’s award, Trump said he no longer felt the need “to think purely of peace”. Over the past year, the world watched Trump’s second term devolve into a brazen campaign of self-enrichment. But in his first term, Trump refused pressure to divest from his business ventures, and argued that his sons had taken control of the Trump Organization. In his second term, Trump has monetized the presidency to an astounding level.

Results on the pitch haven’t gone to plan this season, but for anyone seeking confirmation that Liverpool have firmly reestablished themselves as one of the financially dominant players in English and European football over the past decade the latest football rich list from Deloitte would seem to put proof to that. Having been a top ten mainstay through the Jürgen Klopp era, for the first time the Reds are listed as the top English club—though on this occasion that’s only good enough for fifth overall. Real Madrid and Barcelona top the list, unsurprisingly and once again, followed by Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Aston Villa, Newcastle, and West Ham also make it into the list, meaning the Premier League have nine of the 20 richest clubs in Europe at the moment. Spain and Germany have three, as does Italy—though no Italian side is in the top ten—with one for France and one, Benfica, for Portugal to round out the top twenty.

Kyle BrightA young medical student who volunteers to help break stigma surrounding women’s health has been targeted with racist and misogynistic abuse from across the world in posts misidentifying her as the Welsh health minister. NHS Voices, an initiative to promote the work of NHS staff and volunteers, praised Ahmed as an “unsung hero” who has contributed for many years: “Athika has been instrumental in many of the Health Board’s children’s plans and now the women’s health plan. She said: “We’ve had school nurses come in and talk to us about the materials they’ve been working on to use in schools. “I’m grateful to all the young people who have contributed their insights and experiences to make these materials relevant and accessible. “This is part of our commitment to address the gender health gap and improve health outcomes for women and girls across the country.”

Research from the Walmadany (James Price Point) area documents dinosaur tracks preserved in 130-million-year-old Broome Sandstone, including giant sauropod footprints up to 1.75 metres long, so large that a grown adult can stand inside them. They appear and disappear with tides, shifting sands, and storms – revealed for short windows before the ocean covers them again. Scientists documented an astonishing 21 distinct dinosaur track types, making this the most diverse dinosaur footprint site recorded worldwide. The result is a rare kind of heritage site: one that records both deep geological time and continuous human custodianship. A Conservation Win That Changed HistoryThe Walmadany area is home to the world’s largest dinosaur tracks.

Donald Trump has again disparaged America’s Nato allies, claiming that troops from allied nations “stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines” while fighting in Afghanistan in support of the US campaign against the Taliban. Speaking to Fox News on Thursday, Trump said he was “not sure” Nato would meet the “ultimate test” of defending the US if it were under threat. “We’ve never needed them … They’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan … and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines,” he said, adding the US has been “very good to Europe and to many other countries. Four hundred and fifty-seven British troops died, while another 2,000 military and civilian personnel were wounded in action. Following Trump’s claims earlier in the week, the Nato secretary general, Mark Rutte, told Trump members of the alliance “will” defend the US, pointing out they “did” in Afghanistan.

He also writes horror and science fiction, has eleven books to his credit, and has had more than 200 short stories published. Amaya needs a little more proofing but is penciled in as the full-time starter for 2027. He’ll start more as the season goes on and he is healthy and having success. Owen Ayers is a year or two out of this conversation, and break-glass catcher Christian Bethancourt probably isn’t going to last another season. The path is clear for Amaya to assume the role and mentor Ayers when that player arrives to The Show.
