A MISSING PERSON search has been launched after a boat carrying six people capsized this morning.
Surrey Police as well as paramedics and firefighters rushed to Sunbury Lock near Wheatleys Eyot in Surrey following reports of a small boat in trouble at around 8.50am.
Cops believe there were six people involved in the incident on the River Thames, with five having been safely found.
One person remains missing.
ISRAEL launched its deadliest air raids of the war – but it could have missed a terror chief it was hunting.
Huge blasts struck two separate Beirut blocks in neighbourhoods in the Lebanese capital previously untouched by the bloody year-long conflict.
At least 22 people were confirmed dead and dozens injured as rescue teams continued to scour mountains of rubble on Friday.
But Wafiq Safa – Hezbollah’s slippery Liaison and Coordination Unit chief – could have eluded one of the attacks focused on a third-floor city centre apartment.
The strike came as troops continued to raid villages in southern Lebanon and as Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets across the border into Israeli cities and towns.
It can mark a rare failure for Israel Defence Forces and its Mossad and Shin Bet intelligence agents after a stunning run of assassinations of scores of terror group commanders.
Safa’s whereabouts and conditions remain a mystery as outlets including Sky Arabia report he could have also been critically injured.
The latest attempted hit came amid reports that Iran’s top military commander was suspected of being a traitor feeding information to Israel.
Brigadier General Esmail Qaani was understood to be under house arrest and interrogation by investigators from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
They are asking why he dodged Beirut blitzed bunker meetings with Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and the group’s likely successor Hashem Safieddine.
Qaani – who has vanished from public view – was further rumoured to have had a heart attack while being grilled over his alleged treachery.
Israel last night launched a major airstrike in Beirut targeting a senior Hezbollah figure, which killed at least 22 and wounded hundreds.
The terrifying air raid on the capital is one of the deadliest so far as tensions in the region spiralled in recent weeks.
The chilling airstrike hit two residential buildings in separate neighbourhoods simultaneously – tearing down one eight-story building and wiping out the lower floors of the other, according to AP.
Loud explosions billowed from the city as rescuers were spotted digging through rubble at the scene.
Reports have suggested that the apparent target was one of Hezbollah’s high-ranking security officials Wafiq Safa – who is also Hassan Nasrallah’s brother-in-law.
Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV claimed that the apparent attempt to kill Safa had failed – adding that he hadn’t been inside of either of the targeted buildings.
The Israeli military said it is looking into the reported strikes.
Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah targets have become more common in Beirut’s southern suburbs since the deadly war began.
But the city had seen two relatively quiet days following intensive strikes in recent weeks.
Tensions between Iran and Israel have become palpable with Israel carrying out waves of heavy strikes across Lebanon and launching a ground invasion.

IRAN’S top military chief reportedly suffered a heart attack during a brutal interrogation over claims he was behind Israel’s terror cull.
According to unconfirmed reports, Brigadier General Esmail Qaan, 67, was transferred to a hospital after a grilling by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Rumours of espionage began to swirl after the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Israel’s October 4 strike on a bunker in Beirut.
His disappearance sparked claims that he is the traitor behind Israel’s incredible cull of Hezbollah’s top brass.
Qaani has not been heard of – even by his family – since the blitz on Hezbollah top brass.
He was believed to have died alongside Hezbollah heir apparent Hashem Saffeieddine, 60, in the bunker blast.
But sources in Lebanon, Iraq and Iran have since revealed Qaani was not at the meeting.
And he dodged another strike a week earlier in which Hezbollah leader Nasrallah was blitzed.
His vanishing act sparked consternation across Iran’s panicked military as rumours spread that he had turned on the evil Islamist regime.
Qaani leads Iran‘s powerful Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force and has been confirmed to be “alive and in good health” by the regime.
He is also being probed over the September 27 bunker buster assassination of Nasrallah, 64.
Nasrallah’s death sparked a desperate hunt for Israel’s mole by the Guard Corps – whose investigators are now said to suspect their own leader.
Multiple sources said that Qaani and his team were under lockdown as interrogators demand answers.
Qaani became head of the Quds Force – the IRGC’s overseas unit – after the US killing of its previous leader, Qassem Soleimani, in January 2020.
Israel has succeeded in wiping out dozens of enemy commanders across the region with intelligence led assassinations and its incredible pager and walkie-talkie bomb blitz.
They included Safieddine, who is believed to have been killed at a meeting of Hezbollah’s Shura Council in Beirut which Qanni was due to attend.
Qaani was, at first, thought to have been killed or wounded but has since emerged that he pulled out of the meeting.
On Tuesday, Iraj Masjedi, deputy commander of the Quds Force and former Iranian ambassador to Baghdad said Qaani was “in good health and is carrying out his daily duties”.
The commander of an armed faction close to Iran said: “The Iranians have serious suspicions that the Israelis have infiltrated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, especially those working in the Lebanese arena, so everyone is currently under investigation.
“Nothing is certain at the moment. The investigations are still ongoing and all possibilities are open.”
Iran’s probe into Nasrallah’s death have also focused on the final movements of Quds force commander Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, who died alongside the terror chief.
Nilforoushan had only just taken over from Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was killed in another Israeli strike on an Iranian consulate in Syrai in April.
Sources said Nasrallah had been outside Beirut’s southern suburbs the night before his killing, but returned to the area to meet with Nilforoushan in a secret operations room.
Nilforoushan, who had flown from Beirut from Tehran earlier, was taken directly from the plane to the bunker beneath in the Haret Hreik suburb.
And Nasrallah was killed by six enormous bunker-buster bombs as soon as he set foot in the meeting to join Qaani’s comrade.
Another source said: “The breach was 100 percent Iranian and there is no question about this part.”
Qaani was in Lebanon a week later and had been expected to attend the Shura Council meeting at Safieddine’s invitation on the day of the air strike.
But he was reported to have Qaani apologised and backed out shortly before Israel struck again.
A Hezbollah source told Middle East Eye: “Israel targeted the venue of this meeting with a raid that was bigger and harsher than the raid that targeted Nasrallah.
“Safieddine’s head was what was wanted, and no one else.
“Qaani was invited to this meeting and under the current circumstances he should have been present.”

They made their first public appearance together in September 2021, with many passing judgment on their 27 year age gap.
The couple got engaged in August 2023 while the BBC star was working the US and Katie was said to be delighted.
At the time a close pal Exclusively told The Sun: “They are so in love and absolutely adore each other.
“Katie is over the moon that Nick popped the question.”

ERLING Haaland looks certain to become a dad, if his latest social media post can be be believed.
The Norwegian hotshot, 24, was on target twice against Slovenia on Thursday night in a Nations League clash.
After the game, he celebrated by sharing a photo on X sucking his left thumb and with a ball under his jersey.
Above the picture were baby and coming soon emojis, which sparked rumours that Haaland was teasing that he is about to become a dad.
The latest reveal comes just a few days after the Man City striker was seen with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen house-hunting in Cheshire.
Both are big indications that Haaland and Isabel are ready to settle down together.
The pair are longterm loves, having met growing up together in Byrne.
Haaland and Isabel were united by football in their homeland.
They met each other when they were kids, who shared a mutual interest in the beautiful game and played for Byrne.
Like Haaland, she too was an aspiring footballer in her youth who dreamed of becoming pro.
In a rare interview, she recalled: “We were just kids, kicking a ball around without a care in the world.”
They soon became inseparable friends.
She continued: “We were inseparable on the pitch.
“We didn’t know it back then, but those moments were the foundation of something much bigger.”
As Haaland’s career began to take off at RB Salzburg, love with Isabel reportedly blossomed.
They stayed in touch, following his move from Molde.
“We always kept in touch,” Isabel said.
“It didn’t matter where we were—we always made time for each other.”
A move to Borussia Dortmund didn’t hurt their love, and in fact solidified things for the better.
She moved to support his dream of becoming a Bundesliga success, while chasing her own – playing women’s football in Germany.
![EXCLUSIVE: Erling Haaland and girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen stroll in the Marbella sunshine after visiting the new Spanish home of the football star's father Alfie. It is believed the Manchester City and Norway goal-scoring ace may also be looking to buy a property on the exclusive Costa del Sol development, despite already owning another property in the area. Haaland, with his blonde locks in a ponytail, wore a striking tangering top and matching shorts, while Johansen opted for jeans and a mauve t-shirt. Dad Alfie, a former footballer who also played for Manchester City, wore a white t-shirt and shorts. The property is part of the new Epic Marbella, a development of 74 residences in the heart of the town's famed Golden Mile. Haaland, 23, and fellow Norwegian Johansen, 20, are childhood sweethearts. She is also a football player for local Norwegian club Bryne. Haaland met Johansen at Bryne, who he joined when he was just five years-old. The pair are believed to have grown up together as friends in the club?s academy, where Haaland spent 12 years before moving to Molde in 2017. Haaland joined German giants Borussia Dortmund in 2020, which is where he and Johansen are believed to have started dating. Despite a quiet private life and no social media presence, she has been more regularly seen in the public eye during Haaland's time at Man City, celebrating with him during their trophy successes last season. 12 Mar 2024 Pictured: Erling Haaland and Isabel Haugseng Johansen.

When he moved to England, after signing for Man City, she joined him in Manchester.
Over the years, Haaland and Isabel have valued their privacy.
They rarely shared any intimate moments on social media together, preferring to keep their love to themselves.
A fleeting glimpse of their romance appeared when Haaland had a break in his busy schedule.
In 2022, they were spotted enjoying a short break in Marbella together when City weren’t in midweek action.
A couple of years later, they were spied in Capri, Italy on board a yacht.
But, Isabel is more at home living a quieter life.
“I’m happiest when I’m with the people I love, doing the things I enjoy,” Isabel shared. “That’s what keeps me grounded.”
She added: “We just want to live our lives without too much fuss.
“At the end of the day, we’re just like any other couple.”
Haaland, who reportedly earns around £865,000-per-week after bonuses, has already amassed a net worth of around £30million.
Finally, he looks ready to invest that money into a property on our shores.
Currently, he is believed to be renting a property in Alderley Edge, which is understood to belong to the Kamani family who own BooHoo and PrettyLittleThings.
He already owns a £6million mansion in Marbella, where he enjoys spending his time in the summer.
Haaland also has a £2.6m three-bedroom apartment in Oslo.
Earlier this week, Isabel and the 6ft5in forward were spotted chatting in the street to an estate agent as they explored an amazing £3.5m mansion in Cheshire.
The property – which is being sold by a Premier League star – boasts six bedrooms and six reception rooms, along with its own gym, swimming pool and steam room and sauna.
And the modern mansion, built in 2017, is just a five-minute drive from the home of Haaland’s best mate and City winger Jack Grealish.
It is owned by West Ham footballer, Danny Ings.
Haaland became Norway’s all-time top scorer with his brace against Slovenia.
Despite the massive achievement, he had more pressing things to tell the world.
With his thumb in his mouth and a ball tucked underneath his shirt to resemble a baby bump, Haaland stared down a camera lens giving fans a not so subtle hint he was to become a dad.
The social media snap was simply captioned: “
”.
The post drew plenty of reaction from the football world.
Teammate, and recent first time dad Jack Grealish, commented: “
.”
Kalvin Phillips shared: “Love it big fella congrats 
”.
Roy Keane’s feud with the Haaland family seemingly began all the way back in 2001 when Keane hit Alfe Inge Haaland, Erling’s father, with a horror tackle.
After a barren spell for Haaland earlier this season, Keane said: “The levels of his general play are so poor. He has to improve that. He is almost like a League Two player.”
Keane upgraded him to a “Championship” player after Haaland scored against Nottingham Forest.
After scoring four against Wolves, Haaland said: “I don’t care about that man.”
But Keane highlighted Haaland’s behaviour when he was subbed off, saying he behaved “like a spoiled brat”.
Sky Sports presenter Dave Jones caught the wrath of Keane’s death stare when he dared to question that label considering his quartet of goals.
While former teammate Aymeric Laporte wrote: “
”.
With parents like these, expect baby Haaland to be a decent player too.
THE mystery surrounding a 120-year-old shipwreck off UK shores may finally by solved thanks to one tiny ceramic fragment.
The Pin Wreck has sat on the Dorset sea bed for over a century and stumped maritime archaeologists since 1990.
It was discovered off the coast of St Albans Head, and was named after hundreds of metal bolts which were found scattered around it.
Mystery shrouded the rotting wooden 24meters long wreck for years as it sat around 27meters below.
But, a team from Bournemouth University (BU) have now managed to identify the ship’s rich history.
It was an Admiralty mooring lighter, built in 1866, and is thought to have been used in the salvage operation of HMS Eurydice off the Isle of Wight in 1878.
Mooring lighters were towed vessels containing mechanical devices for moving heavy loads and were used for laying moorings and in salvage work.
The astonishing discovery came after maritime archaeologists uncovered a unique ceramic fragment.
It was attached to pulley block with the words “Portsmouth Dockyard”.
This led the team to Hampshire port records, and 120-year-old questions were finally answered.
A university spokesman said: “Research in the national archives uncovered plans of two identical lighters from Portsmouth dockyard, named YC 5 and YC8.
“These were the only vessels whose precise details matched that of the wreck, but there was no record of their loss.
“They then found a crucial piece of the puzzle in a copy of the Shipping Gazette from September 11th 1903.
“This reported the sinking of a mooring lighter off St Albans Head in rough weather whilst on tow from Portsmouth to Portland.
“Thirty men had to transfer from the lighter to its tug before it sank.”
The spokesman said the team had since confirmed the wreck as being that of YC8, adding: “The BU team have now applied for the wreck to be designated as a protected site.”
Dave Parham, professor of maritime archaeology at BU, who led the investigation, said: “This is a rare example of a type of service vessel which was essential for maintaining the operations of Britain’s ports in the nineteenth century, so it is vital that we preserve it.
SS Eastland – July 24, 1915
One of the worst maritime disasters in U.S. history occurred when the SS Eastland capsized on the Chicago River – of the estimated 2,500 people on board at the time, more than 800 were killed.
SS Kiangya – December 4, 1948
Th SS Kiangya was officially carrying 2,150 refugees – almost double its official capacity – when it exploded at the mouth of the Huangpu River, killing up to 4,000 people.
SS Sultana – April 27, 1865
The deadliest maritime disaster in U.S. history occurred when the side-wheel steamship SS Sultana exploded on the Mississippi River.
Cost cutting led to a leaky boiler and more than six times the number of recommended passengers on board.
The boiler ruptured and hundreds were killed in the initial explosion, with more trapped when the overloaded decks collapsed killing 1,800 people.
RMS Lusitania – May 7 1915
The RMS Lusitania was attacked by a German U-boat and sank in just 18 minutes killing 1,198 passengers.
MV Doña Paz – December 20, 1987
The passenger ferry MV Doña Paz hit an oil tanker, the MT Vector about 110 miles south of Manila. The collision ignited the 8,800 barrels of oil and gasoline on the Vector, and just 26 of more than 4,400 passengers and crew on both ships were saved.
MV Wihelm Gustloff – January 30, 1945
The MV Wilhelm Gustloff was the pride of the Nazi Kraft durch Freude (“Strength Through Joy”) program.
It was built with a capacity of 1,900 people but was carrying an estimated 10,000.
Three torpedoes fired by a Soviet submarine hit the vessel and it sank in the Baltic sea in just over an hour.
It is estimated 9,000 lives were lost, making it history’s deadliest shipwreck.
“Its identity has remained a mystery for three decades but what we observed on our dive meant we could find the clues that could reveal the secrets of the wreck and understand how it ended up on the seabed.”
He added: “The materials the vessel is made from suggest a high-quality build, possibly linked to a royal dockyard.
“The fact it appears to have been lost in service and was carrying substantial haulage equipment means it could offer valuable insight into the role these craft played in our maritime history.”
This comes as never-seen-before eerie footage of a 17th century shipwreck that went down ferrying the future King of England has been released.
The bottom and hull of the ship is buried in sand but divers could spot the anchor, rope and cannon, which sat untouched for nearly 350-years.
Located off the Norfolk coast, the Gloucester wreck was discovered and filmed by expert divers, brothers Julian and Lincoln Barnwell.
Meanwhile, the tale of the world’s first cruise ship includes a string of horror tragedies which saw the sea “claim its prettiest prize”.
Modern day cruise liners owe much of their existence to the SS Prinzessin Victoria Luise, a German ship of the Hamburg-America Line which set sail in 1900.
Eerie photographs reveal its glamorous interior with lavish artwork, furniture and elegant fittings.
Unfortunately the SS Prinzessin fell victim to the sea on December 16 1906 in Kingston, Jamaica after only six years of service.
Captain H. Brunswig veered towards the wrong lighthouse while trying to navigate a tricky harbour and smashed into shallow rocks at around 9.30pm.
The captain’s charts were also incorrect as a volcanic eruption had recently altered the seabed.
Travelling as 14 knots, the ship’s bow suffered significant damage and despite their best efforts, rescue teams could not free the liner.
Passengers had to remain on board until the next day, but none were injured.
Tragically the Captain H. Brunswig fatally shot himself in his cabin.
MARRIED At First Sight’s three new couples had their first ever dinner party last night – and despite being very nervous, it went quite well for two of them.
Hannah and Stephen, Amy and Luke and Sionainn and Ryan were introduced to the gang during Thursday’s instalment of the E4 show.
While Sionainn and Ryan’s relationship appears to go from strength to strength, and Amy and Luke’s chemistry continues to grow… things reached boiling point with Stephen and Hannah.
It was no surprise that they were voted the weakest couple currently because they just talked to each other through other people and through passive aggressive comments.
Hannah even stormed out during their blazing argument at the table…
All appeared well between the others, apart from Polly and Adam and Caspar and Emma.
And as I mentioned in yesterday’s MAFS diary, I’ve got plenty to say about Adam and Polly’s ‘toxic’ relationship, now that they’ve taken their bond to the next level.
If you are as obsessed as Married At First Sight as I am, you need to keep reading, as I’ve got some thoughts...
Adam has come out and he has moved them out of the friend zone but in my opinion he’s moved them from the friend zone into the friend’s with benefit zone.
Adam and Polly are being more intimate now but I don’t actually see them being anymore emotionally intimate.
We also saw that polly was not happy with new women coming into the dinner party and she clearly doesn’t trust adam around them.
So my question for that relationship is if you do not trust your husband, why are you giving him access to yourself in that way in the bedroom.
“We should not be giving bare minimum men access to us like this!”
Alex and Holly met up with Stephen and Hannah prior to the dinner party which is a first for Mafs.
I can’t help but think that this was a strategic move by production just to make sure there was concern floating around the girls who are feeling quite insecure about their relationship.
We also saw Richelle’s character assassination of Orson during the dinner party saying he’s not strong enough, he’s not the man he needs, he’s not sufficient.
I cant help but thin that with the terminology she’s using now.
She’s doing it on purpose to try and provoke a response.
But Orson just sits there and takes it.
Your wife doesn’t respect you, she’s saying your not the man that he needs.
Why are you still there and why are you not standing up for yourself?
I get that Alex is a private guy so I give him the benefit of the doubt but sorry you have gone on a very public TV show to go through the ins and outs of your relationship.
Therefor you are going to have to talk about things on camera!
I don’t like the level of control he’s having over their relationship and how he determines what they can and cant talk about on camera.
That is a concerning amount of control.
Dare I say it… I’m starting to feel sorry for Caspar.
I see where he’s coming from.
Emma was so hurt by the comment he made about not fancying curvy women that she’s now using that as an excuse to not do any work in the relationship himself.
We also saw him hulk out behind the scenes on set, he was throwing things around.
That boy has had enough!
Alex and Holly, Capar and Emma, Richelle and Orson, Stephen and Hannah.
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
TNT Sports has announced a major new addition to this season’s NBA coverage.
Basketball legend Vince Carter will be joining the likes of Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal on the channel from this month.
The 47-year-old will serve as a regular studio analyst on TNT Tuesday.
Discussing his new role, Carter said: “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to expand my role with the TNT Sports family.
“With top-notch people, productions, and coverage of the NBA, I deeply appreciate the Tuesday night crew for saving a seat for me.
“It’s an honour to be a part of it, and I’m looking forward to having some fun this season!”
Carter is set to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend.
An eight-time NBA All-Star, he is the only player whose career spanned four decades – from the 1990s to the 2020s.
He began his professional career with the Toronto Raptors before going on to play for the Nets, Magic, Suns, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Kings and Hawks.
Carter retired from basketball in 2020 following a two-year spell with the Atlanta Hawks.
He played 1,541 games over 22 seasons in the NBA.
The former shooting guard recently became the only Raptors player to have his number – No15 – retired.
The Brooklyn Nets will also retire the number.
Since retiring from the game, Carter has pursued a career as a basketball analyst for TV.
TAYLOR Swift has been offered a shock cameo role in Happy Gilmore 2.
Boyfriend Travis Kelce has already accepted an offer from comic legend Adam Sandler to appear in the next installment of his 1996 cult comedy classic.
The U.S. Sun has been told Travis, whose Kansas City Chiefs have the weekend off, started filming this week in New Jersey.
And our insider says girlfriend Taylor has been approached to star in the movie, which is set to be released next year on Netflix.
The source says the Cruel Summer icon initially thought the idea was a joke and “started laughing” when it was presented to her.
But Sandler’s team are deadly serious and want her to make a star appearance in the return of the slapstick golfer.
Taylor was “really excited” about Travis’ role, especially as the couple love Sandler’s films.
“They have watched the first one many times,” said the source.
However, the U.S. Sun has been told that the superstar singer is still deciding whether to accept the proposal.
“It sounded like a joke at the start, so when she got offered the cameo, she didn’t think it was serious at first,” the insider said.
“She still has to answer, but it would be a funny experience, even if the scene lasts 30 seconds or something shorter than that.”
The well-placed source says the couple thinks the prospect of appearing together on the silver screen would be “a funny experience.”
“She is so excited for Travis,” he added. “Taylor knows his acting career is important for him and something he wants to grow into.”
The U.S. Sun revealed earlier this year that Hollywood bosses wanted Travis and brother Jason to appear in an action movie with a $100 million budget.
Sandler dropped into the Kelce’s’ New Heights podcast in August and revealed initial plans to have the current Kansas City Chiefs star play his son.
“The whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis,” Sandler said on podcast. “That’s why we put it together.”
“We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it,” Sandler added. “Literally like six months ago, we were like, ‘Imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be? Just a badass.'”
The U.S. Sun has been told that filming occurred at the Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, New Jersey, this week.
Security was ramped up outside the luxury wedding venue, with Travis, desperate to break into Hollywood once his stellar NFL career ends, filming some scenes.
“He has been taking acting classes for months,” said the insider.
“He loved the whole experience.”
Notorious bad boy golfing legend John Daly has already admitted he will be in the film. Current players Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Bryson DeChambeau are also rumored to be involved.
FOX has made another big change for Week 6’s NFL coverage involving star commentator Greg Olsen.
The network has announced the broadcast pairings for the next round of games in the 2024 season.
And it involves another new partner for Olsen, who was demoted from the top team to make way for Tom Brady.
Olsen used to work with Kevin Burkhardt on the leading Fox broadcast team.
This year he’s part of the second National Football League crew with Joe Davis.
But with Davis on Major League Baseball playoffs duty, former tight end Olsen was handed a new partner last week.
Fans loved the chemistry between Olsen and Jason Benetti on the Week 5 game between the Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders.
“Jason Benetti-Greg Olsen broadcast booth as A team as it gets for a non A team duo,” one said.
“Why aren’t @jasonbenetti and @gregolsen88 the primary booth? What a duo,” another wrote.
“Even though it kind of sucks that Olsen was ‘demoted,’ he’s working with same amazing announcers this year,” one more posted.
But the pairing has apparently only lasted one week, with Olsen given a new partner for Week 6.
Olsen will be joined by Adam Amin in the booth as the duo call the 1 pm ET game between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It is one of three games Fox has in the 1 pm ET window in Week 6.
The network will also show the Arizona Cardinals against the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns at Philadelphia Eagles during the same window.
The top team of Burkhardt and Brady will be on the 4.25 pm ET showdown between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys.
And Fox will also show the Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers at the same time.
Tom Brady will take his seat in Fox's top NFL announce team alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
And his arrival at the network has set off a domino effect with every other announcer moving down one spot.
That means Fox’s NFL coverage in 2024 will feature entirely new broadcast pairings.
Greg Olsen, who previously worked alongside Burkhardt, will now be part of the No. 2 announce team with Joe Davis.
The other Fox pairings for 2024 are:
It’s a huge Sunday for Fox with their NFL double header week followed by a MLB playoff game.
The MLB and Fox confirmed details for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
The New York Mets will visit either the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres.
And that game will begin at 8.15 pm ET and be live on the main Fox channel, it was confirmed.
That means it avoids a clash with the NFL double header and is given top billing in prime time rather than on FS1.
New York sports fans will face a choice between the Mets game and NBC’s Sunday Night Football clash between the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants.
YUNG Filly was filmed performing at a nightclub just hours before he allegedly raped a woman in a hotel room.
The British YouTuber, 29, was on tour in Australia when he was this week arrested in Brisbane and extradited to Perth.
Police in the city allege the rapper – real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos – raped a woman in his hotel on September 28.
Barrientos had performed at Bar1 Nightclub just hours before the alleged attack.
Footage posted by the venue shows him performing to a raucous packed crowd late on September 27.
It shows him clad in an orange top bantering with the audience and rapping.
Police claim just hours later, Barrientos – who was born in Colombia but moved to the UK as a refugee as a child – raped a woman in his hotel in the city on September 28.
Barrientos was arrested more than a week later in Brisbane, having performed just two days earlier at Havana Nightclub on the Gold Coast.
Police then extradited him to Perth, leading him through an airport in handcuffs.
Barrientos was hauled into court yesterday, where he was bailed for $100,000AUD (£51,000).
He must report to Perth Police Station every day and has been banned from leaving the state.
Western Australia police prosecutor Julius Depetro told the court there is an “extremely strong” prosecution case against Barrientos.
YUNG Filly’s rise to fame saw him start out as a social media star.
The influencer got his big break on YouTube before moving into mainstream TV.
Although he goes by Yung Filly, his real name is Andres Felipé Barrientos.
He was born on August 6, 1995, and moved to the UK from Colombia when he was two years old.
Filly then relocated to southeast London during his childhood.
When asked what it was like growing up in the capital, he told Indy100: “I come from the bottom of the barrel…and that’s why I’m so grateful for the position I’m in now.
“My mum definitely shaped me with the lessons she taught me.
“She’s a single mum with three kids, my dad was a s*** dad so she just had to make it happen.
“She did loads of cleaning jobs. My mum worked at Poundland at the time I had some mad BBC series…just getting my mum out of the position she was in was just the biggest motivation.”
Filly is best known for being a member of the comedy group known as The Wall of Comedy.
He is affiliated with fellow YouTuber Chunkz and the pair have collaborated on many videos and tracks.
Over the years, Filly has also taken part in The Sidemen‘s Charity Football Match, organised by members Josh Bradley, Simon Minter, Tobi Brown, KSI, Ethan Payne, Vikram Barn and Harry Lewis.
According to Depetro, authorities have CCTV and photo evidence which helps prove the accusations.
The prosecution told the court the woman’s body is marked “by a history of violent acts”.
Barrientos has been charged with four counts of sexual penetration without consent.
He is also accused of three counts of assault and one count of impeding a person’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure to their neck.
Barrientos’ defence lawyer argued the victim was drunk at the time of the alleged ordeal on September 28, Channel 9 reported.
Prosecutor Depetro wanted Filly to remain behind bars as he accused the star’s fame of potentially playing a part in the assault.
He said: “This has already made headlines.
“Given nature of social media, nature of people jumping on bandwagons, given the nature of (the) power imbalance between the parties.”
In the hours after Barrientos was charged England’s FA swiftly pulled him from their upcoming YouTube projects.
He was involved in a series of videos due to be part of “The Greater Game” campaign launched yesterday by the FA alongside M&S who sponsor the national side.
It has been designed to promote healthy eating and help to “positively influence” kids aged between 12 and 16 years old.
England aces Bukayo Saka, Ezri Konsa, and Jarrod Bowen were all set to feature in the video alongside the rapper as part of a “Freestyle Cooking” series on the FA YouTube channel.
The Sun has contacted Barrientos’ team for comment.
