Judge at district court

Mads Mikkelsen has teased Johnny Depp may return to the Fantastic Beasts franchise after the star said he was asked to quit the film series. The Danish actor replaced Depp as the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in 2020 after Depp lost his libel case over over domestic abuse allegations stemming from his marriage to ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp played Grindelwald in the first two films of the Harry Potter spin-off franchise, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald . Mikkelsen stepped in for the third installment, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore , which hit theaters in April 2022, just before Depp's highly publicized trial began. But Depp could be making a comeback to Fantastic Beasts following his win in a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Heard in June. Mikkelsen hinted the door could be open again for Depp after his headline-dominating court battle. "Obviously, well, now the course has changed—he … [Read more...] about Johnny Depp may return to ‘Fantastic Beasts’ post-court win—Mads Mikkelsen

A "PANICKING" mum who was stranded on the M60 when Green Flag refused to rescue her was hit and killed by a truck just minutes after calling for help. Shirley-Ann Dumbuya, 38, had broken down near junction 20 of the motorway and couldn't move her car from the hatch marked area separating lane one from the slip road. And tragically, the mum from Moston, Greater Manchester , was killed when lorry driver John Bowers failed to notice her stationary Kia Ceed - hitting and killing the mum as she sat inside the car. The judge has now slammed Green Flag for not helping Shirley-Ann, saying: “Green Flag should take it upon themselves to ring 999 to help the person who was obviously panicking, wondering whether to stay or get out of the vehicle, and worrying about the other cars on the motorway. "This was an accident waiting to happen."

Amber Heard's legal team has undergone a major shake-up with the actress's attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, stepping down ahead of the appeal against the Johnny Depp verdict. A number of legal experts agree that the Aquaman star is making a "smart move" by reshuffling her counsel for the appellate trial and some have weighed in on how her team can pursue a court victory this time. In July, Heard filed a motion at the Circuit Court of Fairfax County to appeal the defamation verdict. She has hired two new lawyers for her appeal: David L. Axelrod and Jay Ward Brown of the firm Ballard Spahr. "In order for Heard's appeal to be successful, her counsel will need to convince the appellate court that there was such a mistake of law or fact that occurred during the trial and furthermore that the error caused harm to her ability to receive a fair trial," Eric D. Subin, senior trial attorney and partner at Subin Associates, told Newsweek . The blockbuster defamation trial between the … [Read more...] about How Amber Heard can win her appeal against Depp, according to lawyers

A mum-of-four who was stranded on a motorway was hit and killed by a HGV lorry after a recovery company refused to rescue her. John Bowers, 35, struck and killed mum Shirley-Ann Dumbuya, 38, with the HGV lorry after failing to spot a stationary Kia Ceed with its hazard lights on in a separating lane near a slip road.

Four months ago, Boris Johnson travelled to Lydd Airport in Kent to make what was billed as a significant announcement about the Government’s plan to tackle illegal immigration via the English Channel. Normally, such a statement would have been made by the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, but this was “the big one”, so the Prime Minister delivered it personally. His pledges excited much media interest and growing optimism that a solution to this crisis had been found. I, for one, never believed a word of it. The centrepiece of the new plan was that the Ministry of Defence would take charge of the Channel and the Royal Navy would patrol our waters 24 hours a day, intercepting small boats . Armed Forces Minister James Heappey spoke with passion about the deterrent effect this would have. It was obvious from day one, however, that this idea had not been fully thought through. I interviewed the then-Minister for Tackling Illegal Migration, Tom Pursglove, at the time and explained to him … [Read more...] about The Tories have opened the gates for illegal immigrants.
