During a break in the second half of Portugal’s Group F match against Turkey, a child wearing the red tracksuit top of his own youth league team and matching red trainers bounded onto the pitch toward Cristiano Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner gave 10-year-old Berat a warm welcome, grinning and stretching out his arms. Berat whipped out a mobile phone and snapped a selfie with the Portugal captain before running off again, zigzagging past two stewards to cheers from the 60,000-capacity crowd. His father, Cetin, told German newspaper Bild that his son got away with a warning for the incident.

Stuttgart is today at a standstill as an estimated 100,000 Scottish football fans descend on the city for Sunday's crucial Euro 2024 clash. The main Schloss Platz fan zone was given over to 30,000 ticketless Germany fans, keen to watch the host nation’s match with Switzerland from Frankfurt. The Tartan Army has been allocated the much smaller Stadt Garten, a minor city centre park next to Stuttgart’s University. So we pushed the host organisation to do something for the thousands of ticketless Scotland fans who we expected to be here. "The Scotland fan zone is for around 10,000 and I believe they have got an overflow plan as well.

It is believed that Hjulmand has a £67.7million (€80m) exit clause following the 24-year-old's move from Lecce last summer. As such, United could be better off fully turning their attention away from Branthwaite and onto the 22-year-old as their replacement for Raphael Varane.

3.13pm BSTWe have some more quotes from Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, who has been speaking on the BBC’s Sunday Show. Sarwar has now described talk of a Labour “supermajority” as “nonsense”, saying that “not a single vote has been cast”. He added:We still don’t have end results from this election and every vote for Scottish Labour in this election is of course to make sure we get rid of the Tories, but it’s also to put Scotland at the heart of a Labour government and to deliver the change that this country needs. Earlier this month, the defence secretary, Grant Shapps, signalled a change in Tory electoral strategy by saying the Conservatives were fighting to prevent Keir Starmer winning a “supermajority” even bigger than Labour’s 1997 landslide victory. Labour has sought to guard against complacency, with a leaked memo from campaign chief Pat McFadden – as reported by the BBC – talking up the number of undecided or uncertain voters across the UK.

We can be honest with ourselves we haven’t played the way we wanted to play. Leading up to the tournament there were situations with fitness towards the back-end of the season for quite a lot of players. Even in the selection the manager had to choose between players who were injured and not quite fit. Both games, playing against the back three just maybe caused us a little bit of confusion on the pitch. We weren’t great with the ball which led to feeling like you’re just running, just constantly running, so it was tough to turn that momentum around.

Apple has announced that it will delay the release of its Apple Intelligence due to regulatory uncertainties under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple has announced it will be pausing the rollout of its Apple Intelligence across Europe as the company has to adhere to the European Union competition regulations. Moreover, Apple Intelligence is Apple's foray into artificial intelligence, as the new update to Apple's operating system will integrate a slew of AI-powered features, and completely overhaul Siri. Under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulations, a company must ensure rival products and services can function with its device, or what is called interoperability. These requirements and overall DMA regulations promote a competitive market in the EU, as companies cannot act as "gatekeepers" that thwart competition.

The site has been grappling with a few technical issues over the past day or so, which are hopefully now resolved. Other than that, there is likely to be only the weekly Roy Morgan until the three-weekly YouGov poll, which past form suggests should be with us on Friday. The idea has been talked up by party leader David Littleproud, and not ruled out by Davies. She became a figure of controversy within the party when she called for Barnaby Joyce to resign in 2018 over sexual harassment allegations. A source is also quoted saying Gisele Kapterian, who had been preselected for North Sydney, also canvassed for support for Bennelong, but has decided not to proceed.

He said he had been predicting a war in Ukraine as early as 2014. "It was obvious to me that the ever-eastward expansion of NATO and the European Union was giving this man a reason to his Russian people to say, 'They're coming for us again' and to go to war," Farage said in Friday's BBC interview. "We provoked this war ... of course it's his (Putin's) fault - he's used what we've done as an excuse. "Russia casts its special military operation in Ukraine as part of a broader struggle with the West, which it says wants to bring Russia to its knees. The sooner we realise this, the closer we will be to ending the war and delivering peace."

“I’ll never forget Nick [his son’s] face when he saw a steam train coming,” the composer later told The Telegraph. In need of some help, Rusty prays to the Starlight Express, a mythical train possessed with legendary speed. Starlight Express is to musical theatre what Sugababes are to pop: its component parts are constantly being shuffled around. “I thought we can’t be saying that dirty [coal-powered] old steam trains are wonderful,” Lloyd Webber told The Telegraph. As he once put it, Starlight Express is “meant to be nothing other than fun with a tiny heart of gold beating among all its trappings”.

My parents hauled me at age 13 to see Sammy Davis, Jr. at the Oakland Arena. Rolls Royce pulls up, Sammy Davis Jr driving! The people camping at Zephyr Cove had begun to stop his car and ask for autographs. We crowd into the back seat... then he stops again for the crowd getting autographs, many of whom we know. His manager pulls out an envelope and tears it into four pieces.
