The Maebe founder, 24, said: “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the most heartbreaking news of Liam’s passing. It has utterly shocked me.

“I met Liam a few times and he was such a genuine and kind person- always making the effort to talk to me and ask how I was.

“I just can’t stop thinking about his family, his son, girlfriend and friends- my heart aches for them.

“Rest in peace Liam”.

Molly-Mae joined hundreds of celebrities paying their respects on social media over the past few days.

It comes as Liam’s ex and the mother of his son Bear, seven, spoke out on Friday night.

Former X Factor judge Cheryl described the “earth shattering” agony of Liam’s death and that Bear will “never see father again”.

She added a statement on Instagram that said: “As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.”

Cheryl went on: “Before you leave comments or make videos, ask
yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them.

“Please give Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last.”

Liam fondly described his seven-year-old son as a “mini-me” weeks before his death.

TRAGIC DEATH

The singer’s loved ones flew to South America late on Wednesday night just hours after his tragic passing.

Liam’s dad Geoff Payne was seen in Buenos Aires at the CasaSur Palermo hotel where his son tragically fell from a balcony and lost his life.

Footage taken outside the Casa Sur hotel on Friday showed a sombre Geoff bending down to read messages written to his son.

Dressed in a dark suit, the distraught dad waved to Liam’s fans.

One Direction star Lia fell to his death from the third floor of his hotel after behaving “erratically” throughout the day.

Champagne, prescription drugs, white powder and foil wraps were all found in Liam’s trashed hotel room after the fatal fall at around 5pm (9pm UK time).

Fellow hotel guests revealed the star had been acting in a “disturbing” manner shortly before his fall, with Liam admitting to one woman: “I used to be in a boy band – that’s why I’m so f**ked up.”

Liam’s family said after his passing: “We are heartbroken.

“Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul.

“We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space during this awful time.”

His parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, were seen leaving their home in the middle of the night on Wednesday.

AN Area 51 investigator who had his home raided by the FBI claims the secret base is developing new stealth aircraft and experimental weapons.

Joerg Arnu, a well-known figure in Area 51 research and founder of the website Dreamland Resort, has spent more than 25 years investigating the mysteries surrounding the notorious military base.

Area 51 has long been a focal point for speculation regarding UFOs, advanced military technology, and government cover-ups.

According to Arnu, the public’s obsession stems from the secrecy surrounding the base.

He explained that when it was founded in 1955, Area 51 was intended to be a temporary facility for testing just one aircraft.

But over time, its strategic location led the government to transform it into a permanent, highly classified installation.

Arnu told The Sun: “It became the go-to place for everything the government needs to do that they don’t want us to know.”

For years, Arnu has run a widely-followed site exploring the peculiar activities associated with the base.

He also acknowledged the many conspiracy theories associated with the base – ranging from extraterrestrial sightings to alien experiments.

While Arnu believes the base primarily focuses on military technology – he respects others may have different interpretations.

He said: “Who am I to say that my opinion is the right one?

“I think it’s military, but the alien people think there are 21 underground levels of torture facilities for aliens.

“And if there was such a thing as a recovered UFO, Area 51 would be the place where they would bring it,” he added, suggesting that groundbreaking technology could be hidden within its confines.

From his analysis of hundreds of satellite images and his visits to the secret site, Arnu believes the government is developing cutting-edge stealth aircraft, advanced drones, and experimental weaponry – that could revolutionise modern warfare.

Over his years of research, Arnu has observed several indications that cutting-edge military technologies are being developed at Area 51.

From stealth aircraft to drones and experimental weaponry, the base is likely playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of warfare, Arnu says.

“This place is a playground for the most sophisticated military technology,” he said, noting that the base’s surrounding Nevada Test and Training Range offers an ideal environment for testing advanced systems.

Area 51’s unique infrastructure, which includes radar systems, tracking technology, and counterintelligence measures, sets it apart from other military facilities.

According to Arnu, this advanced setup enables the base to conduct highly classified missions that remain shielded from public view, reinforcing its reputation as a hub for secretive operations.

Arnu also pointed out that the US is not the only country with secret military installations.

He believes China, Russia, and other nations have facilities similar to Area 51, where they conduct covert operations and develop military technology.

“I have no doubt that China has secret facilities just like Area 51,” he said, adding that Chinese and Russian forces are likely engaged in their own classified research and weapon testing.

However, he noted that researchers in those countries don’t enjoy the same level of freedom to investigate, as spying on such bases in those nations could lead to serious consequences.

“The Chinese are always one step behind us because they copy our technology,” Arnu explained, referencing how foreign nations frequently reverse-engineer US military innovations.

But he acknowledged that countries like China are starting to develop their own technologies.

“In recent years, they’ve moved on from copying to creating their own designs.”

As the investigation continues and the mystery of Area 51 persists, the FBI raid has only intensified the speculation surrounding the base.

Arnu remains undeterred in his mission to uncover the truth, despite the challenges he faces from authorities.

In 2022, his home was raided by the FBI and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations.

Authorities dispatched 25 agents to search his property, seizing computers, hard drives, and other electronic devices.

This operation was part of an investigation into potential breaches of national security, leaving many to wonder what sensitive information the researcher may have possessed.

“I still don’t fully understand why it happened. I’ve always worked within legal limits,” Arnu said.

Despite the challenges Arnu has faced, including the recent FBI raid, he remains determined to keep Area 51 research alive.

To ensure the next generation of enthusiasts continues exploring the mysteries of the base, he launched a YouTube channel dedicated to educating people about Area 51.

“I hope that my legacy inspires others to dig deeper into these mysteries,” he said.

He hopes to equip younger researchers with the tools and knowledge they need to investigate the site.

Arnu’s goal is to present factual, verifiable information, in contrast to the many conspiracy theories that flood the internet.

He said: “There’s all these conspiracy websites, but what my website wants to be – and what my YouTube channel wants to be – is just to show people the real deal.

“I want people to come out here, form their own opinions, and do their own research.”

In the end, Arnu hopes that his work will inspire others to continue the search for truth at Area 51 while providing guidance on how to legally and safely pursue their curiosity.

He said: “You can come out here with binoculars, look at the base, no problem, but don’t step across the border.”

With new technologies potentially being developed behind its closed gates and a long history of secrecy, the base remains a hotbed of speculation.

Arnu’s dedication to uncovering the mysteries and educating others will likely keep the spotlight on this enigmatic site for years to come.

Whether it’s alien technology, experimental aircraft, or classified military systems, the world is still eager to know what really lies within Area 51.

A GAME-changing feature to help motorists in broken down cars has finally come to iPhones in Britain.

Roadside Assistance via Satellite, which lets users call for help while in a cellular blackspot, was launched in the United Stated in September 2023, and has now become available in the UK.

Apple

You can easily connect to a satellite to summon roadside assistance with your iPhone[/caption]

Users need an iPhone 14 or later handset in order to use the feature, which also requires the device to be in an area without wifi or mobile signal.

In Britain, the breakdown partner is Green Flag.

Roadside Assistance via Satellite is free for two years after the iPhone is activated, but users will still have to pay Green Flag for their service.

The feature can be opened within the Mobile Data section of the Control Centre, or from the Satellite section of the Settings app.

After connecting to a satellite, users must answer a series of questions about the nature of the issue.

The location of the iPhone and details of the problem will then be sent to the assisting party.

The device needs to be running iOS 17 or later to connect.

Apple said in a statement: “If you need help with car trouble while off the grid — for example, if you’re locked out, have a flat tyre or have run out of fuel or charge — you can contact a roadside service provider via satellite to request roadside assistance.

“To connect to a satellite with your iPhone, you need to be outside with a clear view of the sky and horizon.

“When you use a satellite connection, the experience is different to sending or receiving a message via mobile connection.

“Roadside Assistance via satellite is free for two years after the activation of an iPhone 14 or later (any model).”

HOW DOES ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE VIA SATELLITE ON IPHONE WORK

For a start, you’ll need to install iOS 18 or iOS 17.

That’s the latest iOS download that you’ll find in Settings > General > Software Update.

Then you’ll need to make sure you’re using one of the following iPhone models:

• iPhone 14
• iPhone 14 Plus
• iPhone 14 Pro
• iPhone 14 Pro Max
• iPhone 15
• iPhone 15 Plus
• iPhone 15 Pro
• iPhone 15 Pro Max
• iPhone 16
• iPhone 16 Plus
• iPhone 16 Pro
• iPhone 16 Pro Max

To make a request for Road Assistance via Satellite, just head into the Messages app.

Then tap on the New Message button and type Roadside into the address field.

This will start a conversation where you’ll see the option to request Roadside Assistance via Satellite.

Apple

Just head into your Messages app to begin the process of getting roadside help via satellite[/caption]

Apple

You’ll be asked a few questions about your situation before help is dispatched[/caption]

As well as that, if you try to call 999 and it won’t connect, you’ll be given the option to text either emergency services or Green Flag via satellite.

Once you begin the process, you’ll be asked to answer a few questions about your situation.

Then you’ll be connected via satellite with a Green Flag agent.

You’ll get guidance on how to connect to a satellite, as well as receiving info about the status of your request.

It’s worth noting that connections to satellite can be tricky.

You’ll need to be outside with a clear view of the sky and horizon.

And establishing a connection might take anything from a few seconds to a minute.

“Reducing risk for motorists and getting them back on the road quickly are at the core of our Green Flag business,” said Adam Winslow, chief exec at Direct Line Group.

“Which is why we are delighted to offer breakdown services through Apple’s Roadside Assistance via satellite.

“Using satellite-enabled iPhone models and Apple’s satellite services, we can provide drivers with the reassurance that even when they don’t have mobile reception or Wi-Fi access, or are in the most remote of locations, help is at hand.”

THOUSANDS of Americans are being urged to check if they’re eligible to claim payments over $7,000 from a multi-million dollar data breach settlement.

It is now the final chance for those affected by the $3.25 million class action lawsuit to apply for the cash – and a simple receipt is all that’s needed.

Hackers allegedly stole credit card information during a cyber attack[/caption]

See Tickets, a ticketing service that sells around 20 million tickets a year, reportedly failed to protect consumer information from a September 2023 data breach.

The data breach lawsuit claims that hackers allegedly stole payment card information during the cyberattack.

The company denied any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $3.25 million to resolve the lawsuit.

Those who believe they are eligible for a payment from See Tickets must file a valid claim form by October 20, 2024.

Class members could receive up to $2,000 in reimbursement for expenses such as bank fees, communication charges, interest on short-term loans, credit expenses, travel costs, and more.

Eligible individuals may also claim up to $5,000 from the multi-million settlement for extraordinary losses related to the data breach.

This includes damages from identity theft or fraud.

And on top of this, those involved in the lawsuit may choose to receive either three years of free credit monitoring services or a pro-rata payment of up to $100.

Class members applying to get the payouts must have proof of their losses to file a valid claim.

These include account statements, professional invoices, bills, receipts, loan statements, credit reports, tax documents, and police reports.

The multi-million dollar settlement also benefits a subclass of the same affected individuals from California.

These class members are eligible for an additional payment of $100.

MORE SETTLEMENT OFFERS

It comes after US citizens were urged to check if they’re eligible to claim a one-time payment worth up to $3,244 as part of a “fingerprint” settlement.

Popular protective equipment and clothing brand Magid Glove are at the heart of the $5,175 million settlement.

They are accused of violating Illinois laws by using “fingerprint time clocks” and taking temperatures with scanners over eight years.

Anyone who used a fingerprint-scanning clock or had their temperature taken by one of the scanners may be eligible.

According to the class action lawsuit, Magid Glove used fingerprint time clocks and temperature scanners without notifying people properly.

It affects those who used either device at Magid’s Romeoville, Illinois, facility between January 8, 2016, up to August 30, 2024.

Meanwhile, streaming giant Tubi – one of the most-watched services on the market – agreed to pay $19.99 million to settle a class action lawsuit.

The privacy suit alleges that Tubi shared users’ personal information with third parties without getting their consent first, violating the Video Privacy Protection Act.

While the streaming company has not admitted any wrongdoing, it has agreed to pay the sum to settle the lawsuit.

And this means thousands of Tubi users now stand a chance to get a share from the million-dollar payout.

According to the settlement terms, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund – and the exact amount will depend on the number of claimants.

A MAJOR city has approved a series of speed limit changes – with 20 roads affected.

City leaders in Phoenix, Arizona, made sweeping adjustments to a host of areas – with the majority of the reductions due to road and traffic conditions.

Sweeping adjustments have been made to a host of areas[/caption]

The new rules around speeding came during a Transportation Subcommittee Meeting on Wednesday – which sees many roads reduced down by 5mph.

The ruling was put to the Subcommittee by Deputy City Manager Inger Erickson, as well as the Street Transportation Department.

Of the 20 changes set to be put in place, 17 are related to road and traffic conditions.

The three other changes are additions to the speed limit ordinance for newly constructed and annexed road segments, according to Phoenix government documentation.

These came as the Phoenix Street Transportation Department finished their bi-annual review on city code, which led to city leaders making their approvals.

Tatum Boulevard from Mayo Blvd to Deer Valley Drive is one of the roads changed, which will have its speed limit reduced from 45mph to 40mph.

Elsewhere, Estrella Drive from SR-202 to 51st Avenue will have its speed limit changed to 35 mph, while Oak Street from 24th Street to 32nd Street will have its speed limit lowered to 30mph from 35mph.

According to a Phoenix-based attorney, the fine for speeding in Arizona depends on whether the offense is civil or criminal, and how fast you were going.

For example, a civil speeding ticket for going 10 mph over the speed limit is typically around $250, while a criminal speeding ticket can result in a fine of up to $500, plus surcharges.

Criminal speeding is a Class 3 misdemeanor and can even result in jail time, probation, and a permanent criminal record.

Phoenix has already seen the speed limit on 15 stretches of road reduced just months ago in December, after several City Council members revealed speeding was a significant concern for their constituents.

This comes as it was announced recently that new cars sold in New York within the next five years could come with intelligent speed assistance tech installed.

A key member of the New York State Assembly has introduced the legislation in an attempt to reduce traffic accidents.

The new bill states the speed assistance system will alert drivers using an audio and visual signal when they drive more than 10mph over the speed limit.

Elsewhere, a one great classic car that normally scores up $100,000 at auction is being sold for a few thousand after it was reduced to pieces.

HOUTHI rebels forced hostages on board a hijacked British cargo ship to party on live TV as new satellite images reveal the vessel’s movements.

Houthi crack soldiers stormed the Galaxy Leader in November 2023[/caption]

For a celebration last month of the Islamic prophet’s birthday, known as Mawlid, the Galaxy Leader was lit up in green and had a stage built on it.

Footage shared on Yemen TV channels shows the captives watching a traditional knife dance as the guests of honour on the ship where they are being held hostage.

The trapped sailors wear green hats and green scarves with gold writing that reportedly reads: “At your command, O Messenger of God.”

The propaganda clip was one of dozens produced for the holiday showing the Houthis’ strength as they terrorise the Red Sea and battle Israel.

Other clips showed massive crowds brandishing weapons or local mosques bathed in the same green lights.

Car carrier Galaxy Leader was snatched by the Houthis when crack troops flew onto it with a helicopter in November last year.

The militants celebrated its capture as a war trophy – with Yemeni influencers visiting the vessel to show it off.

Exclusive images provided to The Sun also show the boat has been brought back and forth from the shore by the Houthis.

Satellite pics taken by company Maxar show the ship tied with its back to shore in April.

But for September’s celebration, the ship had its front tied to shore.

It suggests the terror group are either sailing the ship themselves or are forcing the crew into sailing it for them.

The condition of the crew is dire as they face “significant health issues” including malaria, a report claims.

Most of the crew are from the Philippines, with three from Ukraine, two each from Bulgaria and Mexico, and one from Romania.

The Houthis have sought to portray themselves as treating the hostages generously and have welcomed visits from the Red Cross and a top naval commander.

But Filipino diplomatic sources have previously said they do not expect the captives to be released until Israel’s war in Gaza is over.

The Galaxy Leader is owned by a British company, which is partially owned by Israeli tycoon Abraham Ungar.

The militants – who said they were acting in “solidarity” with people in the besieged Gaza Strip – later sailed it back to Yemen and opened it up as a designated “tourist cruise ship”.

For about a dollar per trip, male-only groups of visitors can board wooden boats five times a week to marvel at the hijacked carrier.

The Houthis, designated a “global terrorist” group by Washington, have previously draped it in Yemeni and Palestinian flags and anti-American and anti-Israeli banners.

They have continued their campaign to disrupt trade in the Red Sea for almost a year now.

Footage from earlier this month shows them sending an explosive-laden drone at a British oil tanker.

They shared the clip of a big explosion near the side of the Cordelia Moon, which damaged its port side tank and covered it in clouds of smoke.

Around 12 per cent of all global trade normally passes through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the now-under-attack 20-mile-wide stretch of the Red Sea also known as the “Gate of Tears”.

JOEY ESSEX has had his boxing debut postponed – but talks for the TV star to fight are still ongoing.

The Only Way is Essex legend was in line to feature on Misfits Boxing’s “super card” in Qatar with KSI’s brother Deji his scheduled opponent.

Joey Essex is still in talks for a boxing fight[/caption]

But Deji, 27, was announced on the November 28 card noticeably without an opponent.

It leaves Essex’s boxing debut up in the air but Misfits head honcho Mams Taylor revealed the door is still wide open.

Taylor told SunSport: “Well, let’s see how this plays out.

“But, Joey and I have had conversations and I think he’d be great on Misfits.

“He’s naturally such a villain, like a lovable rogue and we need characters like him and I’m confident Joey will will appear on Misfits sooner or later.”

Misfits Boxing was launched in 2022 by YouTuber-turned-prizefighter KSI and his music mogul manager Mams Taylor.

And it has become a home to celebrity-style crossover bouts with stars of the boxing, MMA and social media world involved in big fights.

Taylor expects reality TV’s Essex, 34, to join their roster – just not yet against 2-4 Deji.

He said: “Deji was just a bit too experienced for your first fight and although I think it would have made a great story it just didn’t materialise in the end.

“But yeah, I look forward to having Joey on in the future. I think rather than fight Deji for his first fight, I think he’ll want to get some experience in there, see how it plays out.

“And then I think that’d be a big fight in the future. Maybe he’ll get a couple of wins under his belt, build the story and and I think it could happen.”

Essex’s uncle Tony Sims is an esteemed coach who formerly trained Anthony Joshua and often has his celeb nephew in his Romford gym.

A MUM has accused Yung Filly of breaking her terminally ill son’s heart after he failed to keep a promise he made to the youngster.

But mum Kelly Greaves claims the rapper – who has been charged with rape in Australia – instead ghosted her poorly son and even at one point told him to “shut up”.

Kelly, 47, told The Sun: “He’s literally broke my son’s heart.”

Mason, from Hemel Hempstead, Herts, was born with one working kidney that has deteriorated over the years.

Spending his childhood in and out of Great Ormond Street Hospital and clocking up around 25 operations on the way, Kelly said he has been “on the brink of death” more than once.

She added: “He’s just suffered a lot over the years. But Mason is brilliant. He’s just full of beans, he’s great.”

In January, Kelly was told Mason had end-stage kidney disease.

The desperate mum-of-two has been trying to find a donor since and has had companies such as Harrods and Lamborghini offer their support.

A representative from JD Sports then got in touch with Kelly and asked to send out some clothes for the youngster.

Weeks later, they revealed they had organised a surprise for Fortnite-loving Mason and asked Kelly to film his reaction.

To Mason’s delight, Yung Filly – real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos – had recorded a special message for him.

Barrientos, 29, said: “Mason – I know this is probably a little surprise for you.

“But I just wanted to say I hope you’re well, also thank you for watching my videos.

“I wish you a speedy recovery my guy. Tough times never last. God willing you’re gonna be okay sooner rather than later.

“I just wanted to give you my support and tell you that I love you and I’m here for you – and I hope all is well my guy.

“Unfortunate what is happening with you, but as I say my brother try to stay positive as best you can.

“And when you’re up for it, let me know, and I’ll whoop your arse at Fortnite.”

Heartwarming footage shows a thrilled Mason leap to his feet and jump around with excitement.

But things took a turn when Mason – who has followed the influencer for years – tried to reach out to him.

Kelly said when Mason attempted to respond to Barrientos on social media, he was cruelly ignored or shut down by one of his people.

She added: “It came up one day that Filly was live on TikTok, and Mason then said hello to him via the chat at the bottom. But he was ignoring people and speaking to people through Twitch.

“Mason went and got a Twitch account, and he started trying to talk to Filly and said ‘hi it’s Mason you sent me this video’.

“And all he got was abuse from his mods [people monitoring comments].

“It’s like Filly has this ring around him. One of them was so rude to Mason and was telling him to go away. So I then took the device off Mason.

“Then a couple of days later Filly was back on Twitch playing games with people so Mason went again and said something like ‘hi it’s Mason do you remember me, my kidney appeal’.

“And Filly said ‘Mason just shut up’. I was with Mason and I just thought how dare he.”

Kelly said it has left little Mason distraught and questioning why Barrientos would make empty promises.

She added: “I feel Filly jumped on a bandwagon and then literally broke my son’s heart.  

“I feel so bad for Mason and I can’t believe he’s done this to him. He was aware of Mason and what’s going on with him.

“It just seems like it was for show. It’s left a really sour taste in my mouth, he’s just really not that person he makes out to be.”

Kelly said she is still battling to find a donor for Mason before they are forced to turn to dialysis.

She has sent up a TikTok and Facebook page with the hope of spreading the word – something she hoped Barrientos would have helped with.

Kelly added: “The hope would have been considering he said he was there for him he could have just helped get the word out a little bit, especially as we are so desperate for a donor.”

The Sun has contacted Barrientos’ representatives for comment.
