A select group of about five of us found ourselves in the Concorde lounge in New York the next morning. We flew Concorde to Bahrain in September 1979 and then on to Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, before returning to Bahrain and taking Concorde back to Heathrow. There was a Concorde lounge and everything was done for you from the moment you stepped out of the car. Somehow my husband found out that Concorde was taking the ordinary scheduled flight to London that afternoon and we and another couple were lucky enough to get tickets for the Concorde flight for no extra cost. We lucky travellers were awarded signed certificates to prove we flew supersonic on Concorde, and a pair of socks each.

Semenyo maintained his impressive goalscoring form since joining City from Bournemouth in January, clinically converting a rare chance for the visitors in stoppage time before the interval. City’s fourth straight league win kept the pressure on Arsenal before their home game against derby rivals Chelsea on Sunday, while Leeds were left to rue a string of missed first-half chances. Haaland’s replacement Rayan Cherki was City’s only change following last week’s home win against Newcastle, while Leeds were unchanged after their 1-1 draw at Aston Villa. Darlow’s flying save kept out Marc Guehi’s header and it was mainly one-way traffic, with Leeds working tirelessly to prevent City carving out clear chances. Leeds lifted the home fans with a late flurry and substitute Jaka Bijol headed inches wide, but City held on to notch their 18th league win of the season.

McGlynn’s Falkirk move 12 points clear of seventh-placed Dundee United, who have five games remaining before the split. The experienced boss has won both the Championship and League One titles in the past two seasons, but asked if securing a top-six finish in the Premiership would mark his greatest achievement with the Bairns, McGlynn said: “I think getting the top six ranks as the best. “It would be absolutely huge, probably the biggest achievement of anything that we’ve done previously. “We filled out our section and I’m so sorry to them that we have put on that type of performance. “Sometimes you’ve just got to accept that the other team were better on the day – and Falkirk were.”

As one Iranian Telegram channel put it: “Once again the US attacked while Iran was pursuing diplomacy. The deal would be far better than the 2015 agreement which Trump left in 2018, he insisted. He claimed Iran had agreed to zero stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, the down-blending of its existing stockpile of highly enriched uranium inside Iran, and full verification access for the International Atomic Energy Agency. Indeed Steve Witkoff, his special envoy, hinted at what the president wanted when he said Trump was surprised Iran had not yet capitulated. In justifying the attack, Trump did not delve into the progress of the talks, or the gaps that existed between the two sides.

Donald Trump said the US had begun 'major combat operations' in Iran, warning that there may be US casualties. The strikes, which the US president said were aimed at destroying Iranian missiles and annihilating its navy, follow repeated US-Israeli warnings that they would strike Iran again if it pressed ahead with its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. Trump told members of the Revolutionary Guards, Iran's armed forces, to lay down their weapons, promising they would be granted immunity. The other option, according to Trump, was 'certain death'

“It’s time for all the people of Iran – Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Balochis and Akhvakhs – to shed from themselves the burden of tyranny and bring forth a free and peace-seeking Iran,” Trump said. They are a small minority in Dagestan, and it is unclear how they were included in Trump’s list. The attack on Iran is a clear violation of the UN charter, in any absence of any credible, imminent Iranian threat to the US. 1:21 Smoke rises in Tehran after US and Israel launch joint attack on Iran – videoOn the Board of Peace, however, there is no requirement for Trump to justify himself.
