I Know Why ‘Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End’ Is the Best Anime to Rewatch

There are just some anime we can’t help but rewatch. They are often short and sweet series, some with rich lore, while others are just comforting. For me, it’s Bungo Stray Dogs, Haikyuu!!, and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. I often revisit various arcs in One Piece, too, to catch new details. Although I […]

TWO men have been hospitalised following a horror crash between two motorcycles and a car in Co Kildare.

The incident, which left both motorcyclists with injuries, occurred on the R415 in Boley Little, Athy Co Kildare.

Gardai and emergency services raced to the scene of the crash at around 7.30pm yesterday evening.

One of the men on a motorbike, who is aged in his 20’s, was taken straight to Tallaght Hospital.

He is being treated for serious injuries.

The second motorbike driver, also a man in his 20’s, was brought to the Midland Regional Hospital in Portlaoise.

He is being treated for injuries believed to be non life threatening.

No other injuries were reported from the scene of the collision.

The road was closed off so that members of a Garda Forensics Examination team could investigate the scene.

And Gardai have appealed for witnesses, calling on anyone with information which might be useful to come forward.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Gardai are appealing for witnesses to this incident to come forward.   

“Any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling in the area between 7.15pm and 7.45pm are asked to make this footage available to investigating Gardai.    

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Athy Garda Station on (059) 8634210, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.   

“Investigations are ongoing.”

FATAL CRASH

The incident took place just minutes before a fatal crash in the same county.

A teenager was killed following a single-vehicle crash involving a pick-up truck on the Barrettstown Road in Newbridge shortly after 8pm last night.

The young man, who is aged in his late teens and was a passenger of the pick-up truck, was taken to Naas General Hospital and pronounced dead a short time after the crash.

A second man in his late teens, who was driving the vehicle, was taken to Tallaght Hospital for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.

There were no other injuries reported.

Gardai confirmed that investigations into the fatal crash are “ongoing” and urged anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward.

Coronation Street star making shock comeback to BBC show after groundbreaking episode

A FORMER Coronation Street star is set to make a shock comeback to a BBC show after a groundbreaking episode.

Lucy-Jo Hudson portrayed Katy Harris on the cobbles from 2002 until leaving in 2005.

Her character was at the centre of one of Corrie’s most shocking storylines.

The actress is now set for a return to BBC medical drama Casualty.

Lucy-Jo made a guest appearance as single mum Adele Thompson in last December’s Christmas special.

It’s currently unclear as to how the character will return but will reportedly be seen on screen again later this month.

It comes just months after she teased a new acting job following months of struggling to find work.

The soap star revealed how she was working as a travel agent in a side hustle to keep money coming in while she auditioned for new acting roles.

In 2023, Lucy-Jo was written out of Hollyoaks having starred as Donna Marie Quinn.

Meanwhile, her original Casualty episode depicted the hospital’s blood shortage amid a donor emergency.

Six-year-old Leah – the daughter of Lucy-Jo’s character – was discovered to be severely anaemic and needed a blood transfusion.

Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) later confessed to Dylan Keogh (William Beck) that she thought Leah had leukaemia but she hadn’t told her mum yet.

She explained how maybe she can let them have Christmas together and wait until Boxing Day to give them the news.

But in a heart breaking scene, Stevie informed a sobbing Adele of the truth.

The screen then switched to James, a real life father whose daughter Rachel had a similar illness, and it was like a punch to the stomach for viewers.

In a highly emotional scene, he explained how blood donations literally kept his daughter alive and gave her extra time to be with him.

Back in the ED, the emotional journey continued when Stevie told Iain that Leah shouldn’t be in hospital but should be opening Christmas presents back at home.

A viewer wrote at the time: “Blimey this is harrowing. Thank you to anybody who gives blood and all the wonderful people who try to keep us alive.”

Another added: “I’m am an emotional wreck Xx.”

Casualty airs on BBC One and iPlayer.

New EU rules mean Brits will now get LESS compensation if their flight is delayed

A CHANGE to a European travel rule will mean that Brits will get less compensation if their flight is delayed.

Currently, legislation called EU261 means that European air passengers are entitled to compensation if their flight is delayed by over three hours or cancelled.

And despite leaving the European Union in 2020, the UK decided to adopt this regulation into law – meaning that British travellers benefit from the same rule as European travellers.

The regulation however went under review in Brussels back in April and it has now been decided that the amount of time a flight is delayed by before getting compensation has increased.

Currently, Brits can get compensation if their flight is delayed for three hours or more, for short-haul flights under 3,500km.

However, the new rules mean this will be increased to four hours – so anything less than this won’t be eligible for compensation.

For longer flights (over 3,500km), airlines will now pay compensation if flights land at least six hours late – up from the current four-hour standard.

And how much compensation can be given has changed as well.

Under the new rules, €300 (£252.75) compensation will apply for delays of more than four hours, rather than €400.

And €500 (£421.25) compensation will apply to delays of more than six hours involving flights of more than 3,500km, rather than €600.

However, the agreement to extend delay times and cut compensation has been met with some opposition, including from Spain and Germany.

Despite this, the Council bypassed discussions with the European Parliament and made its decision legally binding using a process that has not been used in more than a decade.

The European Parliament, however, can still make changes to the new rules.

From now, it has four months to respond to the suggested new riles with a proposal that must be backed by a majority of 361 MEPS.

If approved, the current EU Air Passenger Rights Regulation rules – where passengers can claim between €250 (£210.62) and €600 (£505.50) in compensation if a flight is delayed by at least three hours, if the delay is the fault of the airline – will be scrapped.

Other compensation rules will remain unchanged.

If the delay or cancellation is due to an ‘extraordinary circumstance’, compensation will not be paid.

These circumstances usually include extreme weather, political instability, security risks or issues with air traffic control.

Strikes are usually not considered to be extraordinary circumstances and the same with routine mechanical issues or staff shortages.

Whilst this rule covers airlines that are registered in the EU or flights taking off from and EU or Schengen zone country, since Brexit the British government has pretty much copied the rules into UK legislation.

This means, that if the new rules are also not opposed by European Parliament, it looks likely that the UK government would also enshrine it into legislation.

This week, Brits have also been stranded in Spain as easyJet cancels scores of flights over ATC restrictions.

Plus, an urgent summer holiday warning has been issued, as thousands of Brits brace for worst flight delays in 25 YEARS.
