Martin Short's Heartfelt Revelation Martin Short has spoken for the first time about the death of his daughter, Katherine Short, saying her death has been “a nightmare for the family”. Katherine died in February aged 42, at her home in the Hollywood Hills. The County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s office confirmed she died by suicide. The Pain of Loss Speaking on CBS News Sunday Morning, the 76-year-old comedian and actor compared his daughter’s death with that of his wife, Nancy Dolman, who died of ovarian cancer in 2010 aged 58. “The understanding [is] that mental health and cancer, like my wife’s, are both diseases, and sometimes with diseases they are terminal,” Short said. A Desire to Raise Awareness Short said he had a “deep desire” to take “mental health out of the shadows” so people wouldn’t be “ashamed” of talking about it. “Not hiding from the word suicide, but accepting that this can be the last stage of an illness,” he said. A Year of Loss Short also spoke of losing several close friends and family in the past year, including his sister-in-law, his daughter and his friends Diane Keaton, Rob and Michele Reiner and Catherine O’Hara. “It’s staggering,” he said, adding: “You just have to breathe in, breathe out.” Katherine's Legacy Katherine was the eldest of three children adopted by Short and Dolman. She largely kept out of the spotlight, though she sometimes attended events and walked red carpets with her father. She received a bachelor’s degree in psychology and gender sexuality studies from New York University in 2006, as well as a master’s in social work from the University of Southern California in 2010, and went on to work in private practice as a licensed clinical social worker. A New Documentary Short spoke to CBS ahead of a new Netflix documentary film about his life titled Marty, Life Is Short, which premieres 12 May. The documentary touches on Short’s many experiences with loss early in life: his older brother David was killed in a car accident when Short was 12, and both of his parents died when he was still a teenager.

The Lead: A Tale of Repression and Hidden DesiresThere's a common greeting in the Outer Hebrides: the lineage-establishing "Who do you belong to?" By the time this question is posed to 22-year-old gay Harris islander John-Calum Macleod, or Cal, in Douglas Stuart's new novel, there is a sense that Cal is his father John's beyond the ordinary claims of blood – the latter's sway containing undercurrents of domineering ownership.The Novel's Core Themes: Repression and Self-Denial in a Conservative CommunityThe book opens with the two conducting a strange ritual over the phone, performed regularly ever since Cal moved to Edinburgh to study textiles: John, a precentor, reads to Cal in Gaelic from the New Testament and has him sing back "with the full power of his belief". The verse John recites – which prefigures the novel's themes of repression and self-denial – urges the faithful to guide the errant and to stay vigilant against temptation. After receiving Cal's assent, John orders him to return home, ostensibly because Cal's maternal grandmother, Ella, is sick. Though John lives with Ella in her croft house, she is his ex-wife's mother and thus not his responsibility.Set within a tight-knit Free Presbyterian community of farmers, weavers and fishers in what appears to be the 1990s, John of John tells the story of Cal's uneasy homecoming. It's a reprise of the parable of the prodigal son and an ardent exploration of the half-lives of queer men condemned to love, pine and suffer in silence. Intimate yet epic in scale, it contains equal parts pastoral drama, tale of familial fracture, love story and inquiry into various forms of loneliness: the loneliness that can reside between fathers and sons, between lovers, between man and God, and between a small place and the big world.Character Analysis: Complex Relationships and Hidden TruthsJohn disapproves of Cal's appearance, his sartorial choices and his long, "flame-coloured" hair, disturbed "by the confused signal they were sending, the strange tension between the masculine and the feminine". Cal's disinclination to be "saved" creates a rift between them that later erupts in violence. Meanwhile, childhood friend and hookup partner Doll gives Cal the brush-off, cross that he's been away for so long. Wearied by his ultraconservative environment, where connection feels out of reach, Cal takes a fancy to his dad's sole friend, confirmed bachelor Innes MacInnes. Cal is struck by Innes's "gentleness, his benevolence – which Cal had never appreciated before, which, if he were honest, he would have said he found boring, unsexy in younger men".This, however, can never be the merry May-December romance Cal wishes it to be. Innes and John are lovers, we learn fairly early on, and it is this pair's tortured relationship since their teenage years – kept secret from everyone, including Cal – that forms the novel's centre of gravity. Masters of discretion, John and Innes are, to townsfolk, neighbouring sheep farmers. The first time we see them alone together, at Innes's, they go through the motions of a long-established routine, allowing themselves to draw close only after John has made sure each room is empty and they are really alone. Later, as John prepares to leave, Innes loudly seeks his assistance over an unspecified "two-man job", "all in case someone should find out and ask what exactly John Macleod was doing upstairs in the MacInnes house at such an ungodly hour".Literary Context: Stuart's Evolution as a StorytellerThe novel tries their bond in ways small and big. Aside from the difficulty of Cal, there is the matter of John's other liaison with a married man, and the tenancy of Ella's house soon to be transferred to Cal's mother. Innes floats the idea of John moving in with him but intuits "how, even under the threat of homelessness, a life together with him seemed no consolation at all". John is a man tormented by the idea of his own depravity: "He loved God. He loved Innes. He loved God and God hated how he loved Innes." At one point he entertains the possibility of Innes, Cal and himself being a family, but even in fantasy, the thought of Cal being gay, like him, remains unimaginable: "They would live like this every day, be useful, peaceful, happy on their land, looking forward to the day Cal married a local girl and filled their croft with grandchildren."The novel is outstandingly canny and wrenching on self-contempt, on the toilsome art of deceit, and on the contradictions we all contain, as well as the friction that can exist between the personal and the collective. As secular values gain ground, there is the suggestion that John and Innes living together could deal a death blow to their local congregation, leaving us wondering whether John and Cal will – or can – come out to one another. Amid all this, Stuart finds the space to touch on crofter subservience to absentee landowners, the scorn and prejudice of mainlanders, and the place of the Western Isles within the English imagination.Critical Reception: A Complex but Ultimately Rewarding ReadJohn of John is certainly enthralling, but the ambient Weltschmerz and the characters' frequent self-pity can be draining. Stuart's first two novels, the Booker-winning Shuggie Bain and its follow-up, Young Mungo, were feats of heartfelt, operatic storytelling, composed as though in defiant response to our age of irony and subtlety. Despite their occasionally miserabilist tenor, the emotions felt guileless and real, whether Shuggie's love for his doomed, alcoholic mother, Agnes; Jodie's for her brother Mungo; Mungo's for his birdkeeping neighbour James or his own doomed, alcoholic mother, Maureen. The impoverished Glaswegian milieus where they were set – marked by Thatcherite ruination, homophobia, sexual predation and sectarian strife – made for sobering reading; but these were novels so lavishly and graciously imagined, so very moving, that you gladly faced up to their gloom.Here Stuart leans heavily on melodrama and sensationalism as a shortcut to tragedy. Towards the end, the novel is eventful to a fault and surfeited with pathos: we have a pregnancy; an attempted shotgun wedding ("What in the world of Thomas Hardy?" says Cal); a death and a momentous departure from the island. While this book will not appeal to those with a low tolerance for excess, diehard romantics will find much to love; I see Cal, John and Innes – knottily entangled and imperfectly endearing – being cherished with readerly devotion. And that is no small feat.

The Rise of a Provocative Comedy StarOnce in a while, you get to see a legend at the absolute top of their game," booms a voice at the beginning of Robby Hoffman's Netflix special, Wake Up, welcoming her to the stage. High praise indeed – especially since the voice is that of the leading US comedian John Mulaney, who directed the special, and who clearly thinks this 36-year-old New Yorker is one of the hottest talents around.Over the last year, Hoffman's star has risen at a stunning pace. She is currently on TV in Rooster, a college campus comedy starring Steve Carell, as well as the fifth season of the critically acclaimed sitcom Hacks. This is only her second season as talent agency assistant Randi, but last year the role earned her an Emmy nomination.From Religious Upbringing to Hollywood Success"Last week, I was a Hassidic Lubavitch Jew living in Crown Heights, New York," was Hoffman's first line as Randi. "Now I'm in LA, I'm gay and probably an atheist." Hoffman's own life has taken a similar about-turn after being thrust into the spotlight. Randi, a role that was created for her by writers Lucia Aniello, Paul W Downs and Jen Statsky and draws on Hoffman's own background, has been "a life-changing part," she says on a video call from the home in Los Angeles that she shares with her wife, the reality TV star Gabby Windey.Home life in Montreal was chaotic, living in a house that was "so packed with so many people," Hoffman says. She would frequently get into physical fights with her brothers and "cried every single day … sometimes I was kicking and screaming on the floor." She got out as soon as she could, at 17, when she began renting a place of her own, taking on a part-time job to support herself through her Cégep, a type of pre-university college unique to Quebec.Awards, Recognition, and Controversial Comedy StyleAlthough Hoffman insists she isn't trying to offend ("I do think that a lot of my jokes are misinterpreted"), she also doesn't think being offended is the worst thing: "Being poor is." She's speaking from experience: she grew up in a family that relied on welfare payments, the seventh of 10 children.Wake Up includes gags about "disgusting" women ("always the hottest ones are sickest") and abortion ("we raise the age of abortion till 10, we got a lot of well-fucking-behaved kids on our hands"). Not to mention the jokes about paedophilia. But although her punchlines make some audience members bristle, "I just don't get to choose my thoughts," the comedian says. "I'm just sharing it with you. I wish I didn't know some of these things. I truly wish paedophilia was not something that I was introduced to or heard about. I think it's more democratic that I joke about everything, you know?"The Changing Landscape of ComedyThe comedian's proclivity for referring to women, including herself and her mother, as "bitches" is an aspect of her onstage coarseness that carries over into our call, in which she is otherwise much more mellow and thoughtful. Sure, she doesn't follow the typical Hollywood script of simpering self-deprecation, instead unapologetically backing herself and frequently talking about how great it is to be rich. But you get the impression that this is self-conscious gaucheness, a send-up of convention rather than outright rudeness."I come in hot," Hoffman admits – especially on stage. But she is not pretending to be something she's not – unlike, she says, supposedly "kind and nice" figures such as Will Smith, who was banned from the Oscars after slapping the comedian Chris Rock, or Ellen DeGeneres, whose talk show was cancelled after allegations that junior staff had been bullied.Future Prospects and Industry ImpactHoffman is endearingly grateful for her success. "Am I not living one of the greatest lives you've heard about?" she said during her recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. "I really do feel that," she says. When she started out in comedy, it felt like "such a risk" to pursue a career with no promise of financial stability: "It's becoming harder and harder to go from no money to money, so when we get one of our guys in, it always feels miraculous."She wishes it wasn't so miraculous – Hoffman is a Bernie Sanders supporter and believes "everybody's entitled to dignity." She resents being an example of someone who "did it" – got herself out of poverty via talent and determination. "You shouldn't have to be this special, you shouldn't have to be this talented," she says. Throughout her adolescence, she was "so sick of being poor," so focused on working hard at the Jewish private school for which her grandfather had helped her win a scholarship, then pursuing a degree in accounting.

Monroe’s Home Becomes a Legal FlashpointThe iconic Spanish‑style bungalow that Marilyn Monroe bought in February 1962 has been thrust into a courtroom showdown after the Los Angeles City Council designated it a cultural‑historical monument in 2024. The designation halted the owners' demolition plans and sparked a lawsuit alleging a violation of constitutional property rights.Owners’ $8.35 Million Purchase and Demolition PlansBrinah Milstein, a real‑estate heiress, and her husband Roy Bank, a reality‑TV producer, acquired the property for $8.35 million in 2023. Their intent was to raze the original structure and fold the half‑acre lot into their adjoining estate, a plan initially approved through a demolition permit.Financial Stakes: Purchase Price and Potential CompensationPurchase price: $8.35 million (2023)Potential compensation sought: unspecified multimillion‑dollar claim for loss of investmentLegal fees and court costs expected to run into six‑figures for both partiesThe federal judge’s dismissal leaves the plaintiffs the option to file an amended complaint, meaning the financial exposure could increase if the case proceeds to trial.Implications for Historic Preservation and Property Rights in Los AngelesThe dispute highlights a tension between private property owners and the city’s historic‑preservation authority. While the designation does not require public access, it obliges owners to maintain the structure, effectively turning a private residence into a public monument at the owners’ expense. The case could set a precedent for how “demolition through neglect” is addressed and whether cities can enforce costly upkeep on designated properties.What the Courts May Decide and Future of the PropertyLegal analysts anticipate three possible outcomes: (1) the court reinstates the demolition permit, allowing the owners to proceed; (2) the city’s preservation order is upheld, forcing the owners to preserve the house and potentially seek compensation; or (3) a settlement that includes partial demolition of non‑character‑defining elements while preserving key historic features. Regardless of the verdict, the saga will likely influence future landmark designations and real‑estate transactions in Los Angeles.

The Injury Blow Spain appear to have taken another blow before the World Cup when midfielder Nico Williams departed Athletic Club's La Liga game with an apparent hamstring injury. Williams sustained the injury before half-time in Athletic Bilbao's 1-0 loss to Valencia at home on Sunday, prompting concerns for European champions Spain as the countdown to the global tournament hits the one-month mark. The Extent of the Injury The 23-year-old went off with a distraught look on his face and was later seen on the bench with a pad on his left hamstring. He had already been sidelined for several weeks earlier this year because of another injury. Williams has scored six goals in 30 appearances with Spain's national team since 2022. He has six goals with seven assists in 32 games for Athletic Club this season. Impact on Spain's World Cup Campaign His injury has compounded Spain's worries as they were already sweating over star forward Lamine Yamal's fitness. Yamal went down with a torn hamstring last month while playing for Barcelona. Spain are in Group H at the World Cup in North America. They will play their first two games in Atlanta, Georgia, facing Cape Verde on June 15 and Saudi Arabia on June 21. The final group game for the 2010 champions is on June 26 against Uruguay in Guadalajara, Mexico. The Road Ahead “He was limping a lot. He hadn't felt that type of pain before,” Williams's Athletic teammate Inaki Williams said. “It's concerning, considering the moment we are in right now. Let's wait and hope for the best possible scenario.” Athletic did not immediately release details about Williams's injury. Spain coach Luis de La Fuente is to announce a 55-name preliminary squad for the World Cup this week.

Lead: Alarming Frequency of Lithium‑Ion Fires Across the UK Fire brigades in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are now responding to a lithium‑ion battery fire about every five hours, according to data compiled by insurer QBE. The trend highlights a growing safety gap as rechargeable devices become ever more ubiquitous. Rising Callouts Reveal a Surge in Battery‑Related Blazes Freedom‑of‑information requests show that fire services logged 1,760 fires linked to lithium‑ion batteries in 2025 – roughly 4.8 fires a day. This marks a 147% increase over the previous three years. Electric‑vehicle fires alone rose 133% while the number of EVs on UK roads tripled in the same period. 520 callouts involved e‑bikes in 2025, up from 149 in 2022. London Fire Brigade handled 44% of those e‑bike incidents, with 230 fires in the capital and five fatalities over three years. Nearly half (46%) of all lithium‑ion fires occurred in private homes. Numbers Paint a Stark Picture of Growth and Cost The financial toll of improper disposal is now estimated at over £1bn annually, driven by fires in bin lorries and recycling facilities. Responding to these incidents can require up to 10 times more water than a conventional fire, due to the intense heat of thermal runaway. Safety Gaps and Regulatory Lag Amplify Public Risk Spencer Sutcliff, deputy commissioner for prevention at the London Fire Brigade, warned that “public awareness is vital” and that regulation has not kept pace with the market. The National Fire Chiefs Council echoed concerns, especially around poorly manufactured or converted e‑bikes, which are disproportionately represented in fire statistics. The Fire Brigades Union stressed the need for investment in training and equipment to protect firefighters from toxic gases released during lithium‑ion fires. What Comes Next: Calls for Regulation, Training, and Public Awareness Stakeholders are urging a multi‑pronged response: Introduce stricter product safety standards for batteries, chargers, and conversion kits. Mandate clear, consistent guidance on safe charging, storage, and disposal – e.g., using certified e‑bike batteries and avoiding overnight charging. Boost funding for fire services to acquire specialised equipment for toxic‑gas mitigation. Launch nationwide awareness campaigns targeting consumers and online marketplaces. Without these measures, the frequency of lithium‑ion fires is likely to keep climbing as the market for rechargeable devices expands.

The Lead: A Wake-Up Call for Urban Britain When record-breaking temperatures of 40C hit the UK in July 2022, few expected the catastrophic consequences that would unfold in Wennington, a village on the eastern edge of London. What began as a field fire rapidly escalated into a disaster that destroyed 18 homes and exposed the nation's unpreparedness for extreme climate events. This event marked a turning point in understanding how climate change is transforming the UK's wildfire risk profile, shifting from a problem associated with Mediterranean countries to an immediate threat to British communities. The Event Details: The Day London Almost Burned The Wennington fire unfolded with terrifying speed and intensity. Residents Lynn Sabberton and Terry were forced to flee their home with nothing but the clothes they were wearing as police officers kicked down their door to rescue them from the unprecedented heat. The fire had leapt from a nearby field into the heart of the village, catching everyone by surprise. In total, 70 houses were destroyed across the UK that day in 600 separate wildfires – the largest loss of British housing to fire in modern history. The London Fire Brigade (LFB), one of the world's largest firefighting organizations, found itself completely overwhelmed. All 142 fire engines were deployed, and incident commanders made desperate appeals for additional crews, hoses, and water that could not be met. Firefighters faced extreme conditions, with their protective suits becoming so sodden with perspiration that one officer described wearing them as being "a boil-in-the-bag meal where you're literally being cooked." The Data Analysis: Modeling a Catastrophe New research commissioned for the book "The Response" has revealed just how close the UK came to a far more devastating disaster. Dr. Tom Smith, an associate professor in environmental geography at the London School of Economics, used the Canadian wildfire model Prometheus to run simulations of the Wennington fire. His research explored how minor shifts in wind direction could have dramatically altered the outcome. In the worst-case simulation, the fire rapidly spread to destroy 120 homes – a result that made "my hair stand on end," according to Smith. This modeling demonstrates the terrifying potential of urban wildfires in densely populated areas where buildings are constructed close together with flammable materials. The research underscores how relatively small changes in weather conditions could transform a manageable incident into a catastrophe. The Impact Analysis: Changing Perceptions and Preparations The Wennington fire forced a fundamental shift in how the UK perceives and prepares for wildfire threats. Previously considered a problem more relevant to California or southern Europe, the event revealed the nation's vulnerability to extreme climate events. The London Fire Brigade, which had recognized that higher temperatures would increase wildfire risk but had limited experience with actual wildfires, was caught unprepared. In response, the brigade has implemented significant changes. All crews have undergone wildfire training, and a fleet of all-terrain vehicles and specialized equipment, including giant sprinklers, has been purchased. However, the brigade's commissioner has publicly acknowledged that further investment will be needed to meet future wildfire challenges effectively. The event also exposed systemic weaknesses in the UK's approach to climate resilience. Water supplies, including those needed for firefighting, remain in private hands, hampering emergency response. In Wennington, the first crew at the scene was hampered by weak pressure in the mains water supply, highlighting critical infrastructure vulnerabilities. The Prediction: The Future of Wildfires in Urban Britain Experts warn that the Wennington fire could be just the beginning of a new era of urban wildfires in the UK. Sami Goldbrom, a London Fire Brigade group commander who has led research into future threats, expressed concern that the destruction in July 2022 could have been far greater if winds had been stronger. "Think of all the houses so close together, we're so densely populated," he said. "There's nothing to say that the fire couldn't have spread all the way through and where would it stop? And we've got terraces, high-rise buildings, all that flammable cladding. It could so easily have been a second Great Fire of London." As climate change continues to drive higher temperatures and more extreme weather events, the UK must confront the growing threat of wildfires in urban areas. The lessons from Wennington provide a critical opportunity to develop more resilient infrastructure, improve emergency response capabilities, and implement land-use planning that accounts for changing climate risks. Without such measures, the nation risks facing increasingly frequent and destructive wildfires that could overwhelm emergency services and devastate communities.

Apple Corps has reacquired its historic 3 Savile Row building in Mayfair and announced plans to open a seven‑storey Beatles visitor attraction in 2027. The development will showcase archive items, a replica Let It Be studio, and the rooftop where the band performed their final public concert in 1969. The Return of 3 Savile Row: A Seven‑Floor Beatles Experience The former home of the Beatles’ record label will be transformed into a multi‑level cultural venue. Across seven floors, visitors will explore Apple Corps archives, temporary exhibitions, a shop, and two flagship attractions: a faithful recreation of the Let It Be studio and access to the historic rooftop. Numbers Behind the Project: Floors, Timeline, and Key Features 7 floors dedicated to exhibitions, retail and immersive experiences. Opening scheduled for 2027, with construction slated to begin later this year. Key attractions: replica Let It Be studio, rooftop concert platform, and a permanent Apple Corps archive gallery. Planned amenities include a souvenir shop, café, and spaces for rotating music‑related exhibitions. Cultural Ripple: Boost to London’s Heritage Tourism Mayor Sadiq Khan hailed the project as “hugely exciting,” expecting it to draw both local visitors and international Beatles fans. By turning a legendary music‑heritage site into a public attraction, the city strengthens its reputation as a global cultural tourism hub and adds a new revenue stream for the local economy. Looking Ahead: How the Attraction Could Shape the Beatles’ Legacy With recent Beatles releases—such as the AI‑enhanced single “Now and Then” and new documentary projects—the attraction will serve as a physical anchor for the band’s evolving legacy. Analysts predict that the venue will become a pilgrimage site, potentially inspiring further archival releases, immersive media projects, and even new film adaptations centred on the Savile Row location.

The Comeback StoryWhen Antonin Kinsky had his Madrid episode against Atlético in the Champions League last 16 first leg on 10 March, there was an assumption that he would not play again for Tottenham this season. The 23-year-old goalkeeper's performance was so poor that many believed he would have to rebuild himself elsewhere, probably on loan. However, Kinsky's comeback has been extraordinary; an inspiration to everybody at the club.With first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario undergoing hernia surgery towards the end of March, manager Roberto De Zerbi has counted on the Czech in each of his four matches in charge. The manager has not been let down. Kinsky's standout moment was the diving save to keep out João Gomes's stoppage-time free-kick for Wolves and preserve a 1-0 win.Tottenham's Home StruggleBefore the start of this match week, Tottenham had the joint-worst home record in the Premier League with Burnley – two wins, five draws, 10 defeats. By contrast, Spurs entered the weekend with the third-best away record. This disparity has puzzled De Zerbi, who tried to dismiss it as a coincidence, pointing to wins against Borussia Dortmund at home in the Champions League in January and Atlético there in the second leg of the knockout tie.De Zerbi's sample size at the stadium is small – two matches as the visiting Brighton manager; one since he took over at Spurs, coincidentally against Brighton. He lost both in opposition 2-1, Spurs scoring late goals each time. And he was winning by the same scoreline last month until Georginio Rutter's stoppage-time equaliser for Brighton.De Zerbi's Positive ApproachDe Zerbi's attitude is to pretend that the Rutter sucker-punch did not happen. Focus only on the positives; it has been his mantra since he came to the club and it is not going to change now. "If you ask me, against Brighton, we won," he said. "We didn't take three points, we took one point, but in my head, we won. As a performance … if we analyse the game against Brighton, it's like a win."It's not my problem now to reflect on the home form in the league. I don't want to lose energy doing that. We have to be good and smart, to keep this mentality, to keep this momentum, with the same qualities we showed in this last period." De Zerbi was asked whether the stadium was too nice, too inspiring for opposing players. "No," he replied. "Because there are a lot of big, very nice stadiums like theatres in the Premier League. Tottenham's stadium is hot [in terms of atmosphere]. When I was here with Brighton and last month against Brighton, the stadium was very, very hot. We are lucky to play in this stadium. It is a pleasure."Goalkeeping Situation and Future OutlookVicario has not returned to full training, according to De Zerbi, despite the manager suggesting on more than one occasion of late that he was poised to do so. The situation is coloured by Inter's interest, with De Zerbi unable to say whether Vicario would remain at Spurs. De Zerbi has been categoric about wanting the on-loan midfielder João Palhinha to stay. He was more vague over Vicario."I don't know," De Zerbi said. "If you ask me if I've any ideas about next season, my answer is no. For two reasons. One, I have no time to think about next season. And two, after two wins, if I lose time thinking about next season's squad I am being arrogant. You think after two wins you already consider yourself safe? No." De Zerbi also provided an update on Dejan Kulusevski, who has been out all season with a knee injury, suggesting he may be able to be around the squad for the final game against Everton to boost morale, but nothing more.
