JETSETTERS are in for a treat as a popular budget airline has announced a new flight route to a top sunshine spot.

And one major shake up is their new route to Rabat, the capital of Morocco.
On the Atlantic coastline, Rabat is located some 90km north of the famous Casablanca.
Ryanair has already been operating in sunny Morocco for a number of years.
Last year, they announced their fourth base in the country, which was set in Tangier.
And they already have flights to Marrakesh and Agadir, two top holiday spots.
The new route to Rabat will begin operation on March 31 and will fly twice a week from Dublin Airport.
The journey to Rabat from Ireland’s capital is roughly four hours but can vary depending on specific flights.
Anyone planning a holiday to Rabat and other Moroccan destinations should keep in mind that the country is in Africa.
This means that worldwide travel insurance is needed instead of simply European travel insurance.
And Ryanair has announced a major sale to celebrate the launch of their summer schedule.
Up until midnight tonight, they are running a ‘pay day’ sale, with flights for just €16.99.
Rabat is a stunning ancient city known for its year round warm weather, unique culture, and beautiful beaches.
The city itself is a UNESCO world heritage site, and offers plenty to see and do.
Visitors can explore the markets, or ‘souks’, as well as enjoy authentic African food, drink, and music.
The city is also home to stunning French and Islamic palaces and gardens.
And walking tours or TukTuk trips are a popular way to take in the colourful sights and sounds of the area.
And there are plenty of excursions and day trips to go on, including river cruises and trips to the desert.
Ryanair has added a record 123 new flights to its network, including adding extra flights to its most popular destinations.
Routes to Valencia, Malta, Faro, Ibiza, and Milan have all seen extra flights added.

James Haskell slams ITV for ‘villain’ edit on ex Chloe Madeley’s reality show as admits reason for marriage breakdown
JAMES Haskell has suggested that his marriage to Chloe Madeley began to break down after they had a child.
The former professional rugby payer spoke out about his ex-wife who he split with shortly after filming an ITV documentary, Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair.
![Chloe Madeley, James Haskell, and their baby Bodhi in a swimming pool.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/chloe-madeley-james-haskell-bodhi-873138867.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
The series shone a spotlight on the couple clashing as they navigated life as new parents – but James has criticised ITV for casting him as a “villain”.
Speaking on Spooning with Mark Wogan about co-parenting Bodhi with his ex, James said: “Chloe is an amazing woman, extremely talented. She’s made me a much better person being with her.
“Now we’re separated. We did that essentially because you want to make sure your daughter has the best possible life.
“I think when you have a child, you have a responsibility and everything your other wishes go out the window.
“As you grow in relationships, marriage is a really interesting thing, because a lot of people change, elements change, careers change, and you kind of, the confines of it mean that everything else grows but it doesn’t grow.
“So now the ability for us to co-parent is so important.”
Host Mark Wogan said: “The other thing that a lot of people don’t talk about, and they feel like they shouldn’t, is how much your relationship changed when they were a child.
“That puts an enormous strain on any relationship.”
James agreed, adding: “Of course. I think that’s why it’s interesting.
“We were very considered actually because we always looked at ourselves and were like, look, if you’re lucky enough to have children, and you should never take that for granted, but there’s a better time to have it. It’s not a perfect time, it’s not the right time, but there is a better time.
“When you’re financially stable, sensible, a relationship you’re working on.
“We want to make sure that our daughter has the best possible life.”
After James revealed the divorce rate is “52 per cent and climbing”, Mark added: “But 80 per cent of people who get divorced, if you ask them five years later, ‘was it the right thing to do?’, would say no.
“You two might end up back together.”
James laughed: “I mean, who knows? Chloe, I learn stuff from her every day.
“She’s incredibly beautiful, incredibly talented, incredibly good mum. And our life dynamic works really well. She supports me.”
However, reflecting on filming the documentary series, James said producers created a narrative to make him look like an absent dad.
“The thing about that was I was never meant to be in it. I never got paid to do it. It was something that Chloe got asked to do and then I sort of got halfway through, go, ‘oh, I see there’s the narratives being built here about being absentee or not being around or traveling or choosing music’.
“And it just wasn’t true. I am most hands on dad, I do everything. There’s no pink jobs, blue jobs, I’m onto everything.”

BBC drops bombshell report into Russell Brand & apologises to staff after star accused of rape and sex assault
THE BBC has apologised to staff members after dropping a bombshell report into Russell Brand’s behaviour.
The Beeb published the findings of an investigation into his time as a presenter for BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music.
![Russell Brand at a discussion.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/russell-brand-speaks-onstage-musicares-962821252.jpg?strip=all&w=684)
![Exterior view of the BBC headquarters in London.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2023-exterior-view-broadcasting-house-960602665_7b4af6.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
The internal review looked at eight complaints between 2006 and 2008 with two made while he still worked for the BBC.
It found a number of people “felt unable to raise” concerns about the presenter and believed he “would always get his way and therefore they stayed silent”.
The corporation admitted an incident relating to him urinating into a cup during a Radio 2 show was “not dealt with effectively”.
In September 2023, a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches revealed four women had accused him of sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013.
Brand denies any wrongdoing and said all his sexual relationships were “absolutely always consensual”.
In response to the report, the BBC said: “When allegations were raised about Russell Brand in 2023, relating to his work at the BBC, it was important that this was looked into methodically.
“This work has been conducted with the greatest care.
“We want to thank the individuals who have participated, as we know that it has not been easy to speak out about some of the issues the review addresses.
“The review considered eight complaints of misconduct about Russell Brand, only two of which were made while he was engaged by the BBC, one formally and one informally.
“It is of great concern that some of these individuals felt unable to raise concerns about Russell Brand’s behaviour at the time, and the BBC has apologised to them as part of this review.
“It is also clear that there were compliance inadequacies on some of Russell Brand’s Radio 2 shows which led to content being aired that would not be broadcast today.
“Russell Brand left the BBC in 2008 following a high-profile editorial breach.
“As has been reported, there is an ongoing police investigation into Russell Brand.
“The BBC has been in contact with the Metropolitan police throughout the review and they have seen the report.
“The BBC acknowledges that Russell Brand categorically denies all public allegations made against him.”
Brand has strongly denied all allegations, which date from the height of his fame between 2006 and 2016.
Four women accused comedian and Hollywood star Brand of sexual offences including rape.
Brand’s YouTube account was suspended when the allegations emerged.

Danny Dyer teams up with huge US sitcom legend for new gig – and he looks worlds away from Albert Square
DANNY Dyer has received a crash course in butler silver service from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’s Geoffrey.
Joseph Marcell, famed for his role as the beloved TV butler, stars alongside the East End favourite in the tongue-in-cheek video.
![Danny Dyer and Joseph Marcell in butler attire for a Sky Broadband advertisement.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-pa-photo-advert-sees-967813043.jpg?strip=all&w=960)

Danny is forced to wrestle with bowties and set up afternoon tea as he learns the art of providing the personal touch from the master.
Kicking off with a presentation, Danny is taught how to dress the part.
He then learns the key elements to becoming a perfect assistant – from going above and beyond to being on hand day or night.
The video was revealed to be a new campaign by Sky Broadband to highlight the importance of round the clock service and its 24/7 switching support service.
It comes after a poll of 2,000 adults revealed the top frustrations driving people up the wall and how they try to mitigate these – even if they don’t have a butler.
With queue jumpers (50 per cent), spam calls (47 per cent) and spotty Wi-Fi (41per cent) featuring highly in the list of the daily annoyances.
Danny Dyer said: “Turns out, I know my profiteroles from my crumpets, and who would’ve thought I’d make a right proper butler.
“It’s all about serving up smiles and charm, which is what I’m all about.
“So, if your broadband provider is doing your head in, you need one that will be there night and day. Let’s ‘av it.”
The study also found 28 per cent claim connectivity issues, like disruption to their internet service, is also having a detrimental impact on their days.
With this rising to 51 per cent of Gen Z and Millennials.
But when it comes to frustrating connections, 36 per cent admit to sticking with a poor broadband contract, with 31 per cent of these citing process is too complicated.
However, 79 per cent went would find it useful having a 24/7 support system for switching your broadband provider.
Amber Pine, managing director of connectivity at Sky Broadband, said: “We know how busy life can be and it can feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day, which is why we offer our new customers a 24/7 switching support service, so you can get help whenever it suits you.”

England’s Georgia Stanway undergoes knee surgery ahead of Euros with midfielder expected to be ‘out for months’
![Georgia Stanway waving.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/12-07-2024-englands-georgia-967817573.jpg)
GEORGIA STANWAY has undergone a knee operation after suffering a serious injury during training with her club Bayern Munich.
The England midfielder, who underwent surgery yesterday, ruptured a lateral ligament in her right knee earlier this week.
![Bayern Munich's Georgia Stanway kneeling on the soccer field.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/arsenal-v-bayern-munich-meadow-967814325.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
![Sarina Wiegman and Georgia Stanway of the England women's national football team.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/every-second-media-alamy-live-954290184.jpg?strip=all&w=960)
The German giants expect the player, 26, to be out of action for several months for their team who are battling to win a seventh Women’s Bundesliga title.
This means Stanway could miss the rest of this season and face a battle to be fit for this summer’s Euros with England hoping to retain their crown.
The Bayern Munich star was part of the Lionesses side, who under boss Sarina Wiegman, became the first England team to win the contest in 2022.
This year’s tournament in Switzerland is due to start on July 2 with England’s group stage opener against France taking place in Zurich three days later.
Should the 75-capped Stanway return to fitness by then, there is a chance she may have not have played in any competitive matches before the contest’s start.
Her last competitive appearance for her club, who are currently second in Germany’s top tier, was on December 18.
Back then midfielder was part of the team that fell to a 3-2 group stage loss to Arsenal in the Champions League.
Stanway, who joined Bayern Munich from Man City in May 2022, is a highly-regarded player for club and country.
She began her senior club career at Blackburn Rovers in 2015 prior to signing for Man City later that year and then joining Bayern seven years after.
Stanway, who was born in Cumbria, made an instant impact on her senior Lionesses debut scoring in a 3-0 friendly defeat of Austria in November 2018
Five years on from then she helped her national team make history by winning the Women’s Euros for the first time.
On the way to defeating Germany in the final of the 2022 contest she scored a long-range quarter-final winner against Spain.

Stanway’s fitness blow comes just over a month after Lioness and Man City defender Alex Greenwood sustained a medial and collateral ligament injury.
The Cityzens captain was stretchered off during her side’s 2-0 defeat of St Polten in the Champions League.
She is currently working on her way back to fitness at the club after undergoing surgery following her MCL injury.
Urgent warning for shoppers as popular drink sold at Dunnes and Lidl recalled due to ‘presence of glass fragments’
AN urgent warning has been issued to Irish shoppers as a popular drink is being recalled due to the “presence of glass fragments”.
Batches of Newcastle Brown Ale were pulled due to a safety risk.
![Bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale.](https://www.thesun.ie/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/01/ale-pic.png?strip=all&w=918)
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued the warning.
Upon opening, some bottles contained glass fragments, leading to the recall.
If glass is present in a beverage, it can lead to severe injuries, including cuts or lacerations in the mouth, throat or along the digestive tract.
Due to these potential health hazards, the product was issued a recall notice to prevent any harm to consumers.
The FSAI said: “Heineken UK is recalling the above batches of Newcastle Brown Ale due to the presence of glass fragments upon opening the bottles.
“Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores.”
The affected batches are 500ml bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale.
The batch codes are L4321, L4322, L4323, L4324, L4325 and L4326, with a best before date of 30/11/2025.
They have been sold at various retailers across the country including Dunnes Stores, Tesco and Lidl.
The affected batches have been issued a category one alert, which is given when there is an imminent risk to public health.
Wholesalers and distributors have been requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retail customers.
And buyers have now been told to throw away the product immediately.
The FSAI added: “Consumers are advised not to drink the affected batches.”
This follows the recall of batches of The Happy Pear products due to the possible presence of animal matter.
CONTAMINATION FEARS
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued the warning this afternoon.
Some canned chickpeas in The Happy Pear products may have accidentally come into contact with animal matter.
This poses a major risk to people who follow plant-based diets, like vegans or vegetarians, or those with allergies to animal products.
It’s also a concern for anyone who avoids animal products for ethical or religious reasons.
The FSAI said: “The Happy Pear is recalling specific batches of its products listed below, which contain canned chickpeas as an ingredient.
“The affected batch of canned chickpeas is subject to recall due to the possible presence of animal matter.
“Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.”
The affected batches are The Happy Pear Red Pepper Hummus, Caramelised Onion Hummus, Reduced Fat Hummus, Hummus Triple Dip, and Moroccan Style Hummus.
The batch numbers, in order of the items listed above, are 4304, 4305, 4304, 4303, and 4305.
