CLUB legend Barry Bannan has left Sheffield Wednesday with the Owls plunged into crisis.

The midfielder’s contract expired on June 30, bringing an end to his ten-year stint at Hillsborough.

Manager Danny Rohl is negotiating his exit[/caption]

Many more could follow him out of the exit door with Wednesday players able to hand in a 15-day notice period.

That is because the senior team have not been paid for a second month in a row, according to The Guardian.

Players will be able to terminate their contracts in 15 days time if they are not paid the money they are owed.

Manager Danny Rohl is also in discussions over his exit, with the German failing to show up for pre-season.

It is understood Under-21s players have received their June salaries, with the club offering an apology to first-team players who still have not been paid.

The club has pledged to pay them in full but did not specify when this would be.

Even if the players are paid within the 15-day period, the club could still face EFL sanctions.

The EFL could refer Wednesday to an independent commission and possible punishments include a transfer embargo, fine and points deduction.

Players have returned for pre-season training, which is being overseen by U21 boss Andy Holdsworth.

Rohl’s staff are also out of contract and are expected to leave.

Another club legend Liam Palmer has also seen his contract expire, along with Callum Paterson, Nathaniel Chalobah, Svante Ingelsson and Akin Famewo.

Fans have urged Wednesday boss Dejphon Chansiri and although he is open to a sale, offers from two US consortiums have been deemed insufficient.

IRISH holidaymakers have been sent a major warning as three popular getaway spots have been issued red alert heatwave warnings.

While Ireland is coming out on the other side of a scorching few days, three European destinations are still in the midst of one.

Parts of France will sizzle at 43C[/caption]

France, Spain and Croatia are all set to see near record breaking levels of heat in the coming days.

Meteorologists at Carlow Weather took to social media to share the news.

Posting on Facebook, they said: “While Ireland has fresher weather today many parts of Europe continue to see a heatwave.

“Some red warnings today Tuesday for high temperatures in parts of France, Germany and Croatia.

“A hot day to be queueing in Disneyland Paris if you happen to be there!“

Spain is set to experience the highest temperatures, with searing 42C expected to hit parts of the country.

The regions of Andalusia and Extremadura are likely to be worst hit as they are on the south west coast.

Weather bosses have predicted temperatures from 40C to 43C will plague the regions.

And the area is home to some of Spain’s most popular holiday destinations including Cordoba, Seville, Malaga and Cadiz.

Meanwhile in France, temperatures across the country are set to sit anywhere between 21C to 40C.

The majority of the country, including capital city Paris, will be engulfed by 38C heat.

Meanwhile northern coastal areas in Brittany and Normandy will see more bearable temperatures of 21C.

And in Croatia, temperatures will climb as high as 40C in some areas.

While the east of the country will be 34C on average, the west of the country will sizzle at anywhere from 35CF to 40C.

Spanish meteorologists at the country’s Met Office, AEMET, said the month of June was as hot as an average July or August.

They said on X: “The average temperature in June 2025 (23.6 °C) is higher than the normal average for July and August (23.1 °C and 23 °C, respectively).

“This is the first time this has happened.

“If a July or August had an average temperature of 23.6 °C, its character would be warm.”

Irish holidaymakers could find themselves disappointed when they experience the insane heat levels.

It is likely that many will spend much of their time indoors while abroad to escape the unbearable heat.

Visitors have been advised to follow the guidelines of local authorities while in affected areas.

A SAVVY woman has been able to extend her home without needing any planning permission.

Sarah, from the UK, decided to buy herself a cheap caravan to create an extra room for her house instead of doing an extension.

Sarah transformed this old stinky caravan she bought off Facebook Marketplace[/caption]

Despite having no previous experience, she transformed it into a luxe spare room[/caption]

Taking to social media, Sarah revealed that she purchased a pre-loved 1970s caravan from Facebook Marketplace for just £300.

She said: “It only cost me 300 quid but it smelled really bad.

“Practically everything was broken. But I could still see the potential, even though I could smell urine.”

Sarah got to work over the next week chucking out the old interiors and giving it a spruce-up.

The foldable caravan was in dire shape when she got it, even the brakes had rusted and fallen out, but it didn’t put her off.

The benches inside the caravan were just as bad, in fact, they couldn’t even be sat on as there was nothing to let them hold weight.

“Things often fell on me and at times I couldn’t tell if it was going to be any good, because at some points it actually looked worse than it did at the beginning,” she added.

“I’d pretty much trashed it. And somehow I also managed to trash my parents’ garden in the process.”

Sarah was almost ready to give up on the transformation but after being encouraged by her TikTok followers managed to pull through.

And it seems to have paid off, the caravan looked incredible once she was done.

People were floored by her skills[/caption]

She stuck with the 1970s theme, using a mix of warm woods and orange hues inside.

She was able to fix the benches with some extra foam from Dunelm and some curtains from Home Sense that she stapled onto the seats.

Sarah ripped out the floor and used some vinyl flooring for a more modern touch before adding a lick of coral paint to the walls.

For final touches, she added a wooden scalloped table, a 70s-style mushroom lamp and some rattan storage.

She finished the video saying: “I never in a million years thought I’d be capable of doing all of this work myself.”

The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @imtheproblem with over 72k views and people were quick to praise her DIY skills.

One person wrote: “You’ve done a stellar job. It’s a dream caravan.”

Another commented: “Caravan goals, seriously.”

“Looks fab, great job and I love the lamp,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “Wow, this is such a beautiful glow up!”

“That looks absolutely stunning! You’ve done an amazing job,” claimed a fifth

Someone else added: “I’m suitably impressed.”

A BRAND new app which will ping 88 million Brits with urgent alerts and give access to digital driving licenses launches today. 

The app, developed by the Government, aims to make it easier for Brits to engage with public services.

The app will be available to all Brits[/caption]

The GOV.UK App will launch in a basic stage initially, as Labour roll-out the beta version today. 

Initial roll-out takes place today

This incarnation of the app will allow users to prioritise topics on their home page, depending on which government services are most useful to them.

These areas include benefits, care, travel and business amongst others. 

Having these services on the home page will make it easier for 88 million Brits to engage with the government. 

Users will also be able to log-in using facial ID, removing the need for separate passwords for different services.

The upgraded version of the app is set to roll out later this year and will feature an AI chat bot – named GOV.UK Chat.

It will help to answer specific questions using information from the 700,000 page website. 

A GOV.UK wallet will become available on the app too, which will contain a digital driving license and other hard-copies of important documents. 

No more paper forms

Ahead of the launch, Peter Kyle, the technology secretary, said: “Our new GOV.UK App shows for the first time how this government is overhauling taxpayer-funded services as we deliver on our Plan for Change. 

“By putting public services in your pocket, we will do away with clunky paper forms and hours spent on hold, so you can immediately get the information you need and continue on with the rest of your day.

“This release of the GOV.UK App is just the start. 

“Soon, you will be able to use it to ask GOV.UK Chat any question you like about government services, and get a reliable answer immediately. 

Personal notifications straight to your phone

“You will then get personal notifications, reminding you when your MOT is due or whether you need to register to vote, and then you will be able to closely track your childcare credits just as you do your bank account.”

The app is a key part of Labour’s Plan For Change – which aims to slash red tape slowing down British growth. 

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has already axed NHS England in a bid to make the National Health Service more interconnected and efficient. 

Another part of the plan includes a £39 billion scheme which will support the construction of affordable housing across the country.

A WIMBLEDON star feared a “crazy” fan had a knife courtside – before losing in 45 minutes without winning a game.

World No33 Yulia Putintseva halted her first-round clash on Monday to report the spectator to the umpire.

The chair umpire spoke to the security midway through the first set[/caption]

Bystanders said the man had been attempting to talk to Putintseva, 30, during her serve at the start of her match against American Amanda Anisimova on Court 15.

She said: “Can you take him out because maybe he has a knife? I am not going to continue playing until he leaves.

“These people are dangerous, they are crazy.”

Play resumed after the chair umpire consulted security personnel, but it was unclear if any action was taken against them.

It is understood that the spectator was not carrying a knife and would have been searched for weapons by ground security when entering.

A visibly emotional Putintseva, ranked 33rd in the world, lost 6-0, 6-0 in a match lasting only 44 minutes.

She won just 21 points and made 14 unforced errors in a dire showing against the No13 seed.

The Russian-born player also hit just one winner and, while 5-0 down in the second set, began crying into her towel between games.

Pushed on the fan incident, Wimbledon head of operations Michelle Dite told SunSport: “We’ve been very upfront about this, that if the players have got any concerns, if they feel that there’s something that doesn’t feel quite right, they absolutely should bring it to light.

“We would rather know about these things.

“So in terms of those conversations, protocols were followed, and the matter was dealt with.”

Ms Dite added it was not a stalking-related incident.

She went on: “There was an issue raised by one of the players.

“We want to create the best possible theatre for them to come and do their thing.

“One of the players had some concerns, they went and spoke to the umpire, we checked it all out with security.”

Wimbledon bosses played down the incident, including Putintseva’s “knife” remark.

A spokesman insisted: “Security was in the area. The issue was dealt with.”

Russian-born Putintseva previously sparked outrage when she told a rival star to “go f*** yourself” during a warm-up event.

Fellow player Maria Sakkari had told Putintseva “nobody likes you”, before the firebrand star snapped back: “Go f*** yourself”.

PIERS MORGAN has challenged Jake Paul to a boxing fight while his brother Logan takes on an MMA star.

The journalist clashed with Paul during an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored last week.

Morgan claimed that he is Paul’s ‘perfect target’[/caption]

The argument caused the Problem Child to storm out of the interview, in which he was wearing a sombrero.

Morgan has now challenged Paul to fight following a few months of training in boxing.

During an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube with MMA star Dillon Danis he called out the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

He said: “I’ve been doing boxing training now for a few months.

“I’m in his right age wheelhouse, I’m 60 years old with zero professional boxing experience, so I’m pretty much his perfect target for his next fight.

“I think we should suggest a double header – you have the re-match with Logan, which would be the real fight between two proper fighters.

“I will take on Jake Paul, in a pay-per-view to end all pay-per-views.

“I fancy my chances, I honestly would.”

Danis joked back: “I do too, but don’t think you’re old enough for him.”

Morgan has since doubled down on the challenge on social media.

He posted: “You and me Jake Paul – any time, any place.

“I’m in your preferred opponent wheelhouse – 60yrs old and barely any boxing experience.

“But I make up for it with ferocity, resilience, fearlessness and a burning will-to-win. Let’s do this.”

Fans are up for seeing the rogue match-up as they reacted to Morgan’s post.

A third commented: “I would actually pay to see this.”

A fourth said: “My money’s on tie.”

Another added: “The Grumble in the Jungle.”

Danis, 31, also spoke about the boxing quality of both Paul brothers and insisted that Logan is the better of the two.

He added: “I think Logan is a better boxer than him, I’ve been through my s**t after losing to Logan.

“Jake sucks and Jake knows that.

“These guys, I knew them before they did boxing, he was such a wannabee. He is trying to be something he is not, you know.

“He’s trash, I will fight him MMA, any rules that he wants.”

A 96-YEAR-OLD lido has reopened after a major upgrade, with swimmers urged to book to make the most of the heat.

With temperatures set to reach highs of 36C today, Brits across the nation will be doing everything they can to try to cool down.

Crouch End lido has reopened after a major revamp[/caption]

And although purchasing a fan or making your own air conditioner may be your first thought, taking a trip down to your local lido is great way to relax and unwind in the heat.

Crouch End Lido Reopens

Park Road Leisure Centre and Lido in Crouch End, which opened in 1931, was closed for a period of 10 days this month, to “keep the good times rolling for many more years and decades to come”.

During its closure, a new circulation pump was fitted, and pipe repairs and paving improvements were made.

Additionally, there were preparations for a new pool cover, which will be installed over the next few weeks, without interrupting the pool’s opening times.

The new cover is expected to save a whopping £35,000 in operational costs.

Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, Cllr Emily Arkell, said: “We’re delighted that the Lido will be re-opening on schedule, with residents now benefitting from this newly renovated provision during peak season.

“We cannot wait to welcome our residents back to the Lido, which we know means so much to them. It’s a vital component in supporting their mental health and physical wellbeing.

“By investing in these essential improvements to the Lido and other facilities such as the teaching pool, we’re underlining our commitment to ensure Park Road Leisure Centre continues to thrive as a community hub now and in the future.”

Swimmers Urged To Book

The lido reopened again on Friday, June 27th, with swimmers urged to book slots to make the most of the hot weather.

“Remember, you must have a booking to swim at the lido. As well as pent-up demand following the 10-day closure, the pool is due to re-open during another hot spell”, the lido said in an Instagram post.

“Slots will sell out quickly.

“So if you’re a pay-monthly member, please remember to cancel any bookings you aren’t going to use as soon as possible so that someone else can take your place.”

You can book a slot at the lido on the outdoor pool’s website.

Some areas around the lido will remain cordoned off over the coming weeks, whilst preparatory works for the pool covers are finalised.

The installation of the cover will take place on July 3, with the lido being closed for a portion of that day.

On weekdays, the Crouch End lido is open from 7am to 7pm, with no-swimming breaks between 2:30pm and 3pm and 5pm to 5:30pm.

On weekends, the lido is open from 8am to 4pm, with breaks between 11 and 11:30am and 1:30 and 2pm.

Adults can enjoy a session at the lido for £8.95, whilst a junior ticket (11-15) costs £4.60.

Those over 65 can purchase a ticket for just £1.95, whilst residents of Haringey can get discounted tickets.

A MAJOR app will be wiping millions of passwords and payment details in just weeks. 

Brits have just weeks to swap away from the service in order to save their details.

Microsoft are axing a popular service[/caption]

The Authenticator will begin deleting Brits’ passwords this month[/caption]

Microsoft is axing the Authenticator app’s password storing service in July. 

In just a few days, saved passwords won’t be available to appear in the autofill function. 

Weeks after that change, all saved payment information will be wiped from the Authenticator.

In August, all passwords will be deleted from the app. 

In order to retain their payment and password details, Brits will need to swap to the Microsoft Edge app – where their details can be synced over. 

Edge can be set as your device’s autofill provider by selecting it in your settings. 

Microsoft Authenticator first launched in 2016 and began enabling password storage in 2020. 

Although this service has now come to an end, Authenticator will continue to provide some other functions. 

It will support passkeys, which uses a PIN, fingerprint or face scan to log into some accounts. 

The news comes after Microsoft axed another iconic feature – though that comes as welcome news to some users. 

The blue screen of death is famed for filling users with dread, as it marked that a user’s computer had run into a major issue. 

The frowning face and QR code will also no longer appear if your computer crashes. 

Users on social media cried that this marked the “end of an era”. 

One user wrote: “The Blue Screen of Death is dying for one last time and Windows crashes just won’t be the same ever again!”

Another said: “But… I was literally just getting used to it.”

Microsoft hopes that axing the feature will speed up waiting times for its users, with the brand hoping that it will enable computers to reboot quicker.
