The spidercam operator responsible for the collision between the camera and Anrich Nortje at the MCG has been stood down for the remainder of the Boxing Day Test.

The South African quick was sent crashing to the turf during the second day of play in Melbourne, when the mobile camera hit him shortly after lunch as he walked towards the boundary.

The 29-year-old escaped any serious injuries and was able to continue bowling after being hit and on the left shoulder and elbow.

Antje Nortje was knocked to the ground after the Spidercam hit him in the back on day two

But while the Spidercam was back in action on day three, its operator was reportedly stood down, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Nortje was hit as the camera, which weighs approximately 8kg and zipped to a complex wires system, did a low sweep from a height of about two metres.

An agreement in place between the ICC, Fox Sports and Cricket Australia stipulates Spidercam is not permitted to travel any lower than 3.5metres from the ground.

The Christmas getaway is approaching and internet searches for advice on ‘flying with a newborn’ and other parent travel queries are up 66 per cent.

That’s according to travel specialist eShores, which has revealed holiday horror stories from solo parents travelling with babies to highlight some of the challenges that need to be overcome when flying with little ones. Plus, the site has rustled up some top tips on dealing them.

‘They tried to reject my milk at security, saying it was more than 100ml. I had expressed three days in a row and nearly cried’ – Lizzie, 30, Leeds

The Christmas getaway is approaching and internet searches for advice on ‘flying with a newborn’ and other parent travel queries are up 66 per cent

Before you travel, double-check baby milk rules and be prepared when you arrive at security. You can carry breast milk in hand luggage (a baby doesn’t even have to be present), but it can’t be frozen, and individual breast-milk containers must hold no more than 2,000ml. A baby must be present when transporting formula milk and baby food in hand luggage. There is no legal limit on amounts, though.

Lizzie was asked to place each bag of milk in its own X-ray machine security tray – 16 in total, reveals eShores. And she pulled up the UK’s baby milk policy to show staff and ensure nothing was binned.

New Year’s Eve? The fun’s gone to Iceland where you can celebrate with massive firework displays that last all night

New Year’s Eve is the time of year when Iceland lifts its ban on fireworks
In Reykjavik, the fireworks start at 8pm and parties take place across the city
Rooms at stylish hotels such as colourful Reykjavik Marina are from £120 a night

Every week our Holiday Hero Neil Simpson takes an in-depth look at a brilliant holiday topic, doing all the legwork so you don’t have to. This week: New Year’s Eve in Iceland.

It may be ice-cold, but Reykjavik is the red-hot place for New Year’s Eve – thanks to a series of feelgood firework displays that last all night and raise big money for charity.

‘Our firework parties are a local tradition that holidaymakers really love, especially when they hear the reason behind them,’ says Arny Palsson of the Berjaya hotel group, which has six hotels in Reykjavik and six more on the Golden Circle tourist route around the island.

The story began in the 1960s, when volunteers with Iceland’s Search and Rescue charity started to sell fireworks between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. It’s illegal to set them off at all other times in Iceland, to ensure they are not mistaken for emergency…

Mike Tindall is enjoying a trip Down Under with his wife, Zara Tindall.

The pair are taking in supercars races at the Adelaide 500 together, but on Sunday, the former rugby player was going solo.

Mike dressed comfortably for the occasion, donning a white T-shirt with a logo at the chest.

African safaris are Catorina Rowntree’s go-to holiday.

But the Getaway host, 51, last trip resulted in a brush with death after she was chased by a ‘crazy’ charging elephant.

Despite being in the jaws of danger, the television presenter turned back and ran towards the animal when she lost her sentimental scarf, barely getting out alive.

‘We got that fraction too close… it lunged at us and it started coming for us,’ she said, recalling the incident during an interview on 9Now.

As she ran, Catorina said her beautiful white silk scarf got hooked on a bush and she couldn’t just leave it behind.

‘My best friend gave me that scarf to wear on her wedding when I was the matron of honour,’ she explained.

Mercenaries hired to fight in Ukraine by Wagner ‘complain they have been abandoned’

admin Africa Travel African Travel, dailymail, News 0

Staff, 2022-11-28 10:25:02,

Mercenaries hired by the Wagner Group to fight for Russia in Ukraine say they have been abandoned in the Donbas with no food or ammunition.

Around 100 fighters from the Central African Republic were recruited by the shadowy military company after quitting their country’s Union for Peace (UPC) rebel group.

They were trained and sent to the front lines in March but they now say they have lost contact with their military bosses and are surviving by stealing from Ukrainian civilians, sources have revealed.

Around 50 of their fellow troops have also ‘mysteriously disappeared’ and Russia is refusing to say where they are.

Two ex-fighters from the Central African Republic told the Daily Beast: ‘Some of our colleagues have called us to inform us that the Russian soldiers who took them to eastern Ukraine deployed them to a particular town and left them to fight on their own.

‘As we speak, they haven’t been paid for months and they can’t even feed themselves.’

The rebels traveled to Moscow for training at a Wagner military camp in February at the time war was breaking out.

They were deployed by mid-March but were then left on their own by their commanders with no one looking for them.

The soldiers, who have been referred to as ‘Black Russians’, are now fearing for their lives.

New book suggests photographer Peter Beard had a sadistic taste for sexual violence

admin Africa Travel African Travel, dailymail, tvshowbiz 0

Staff, 2022-11-06 16:29:43,

Even at the age of 75, celebrity photographer Peter Beard wasn’t satisfied with a cup of cocoa before bed. Instead, he returned home at 4am with two Russian women he’d picked up in a New York nightclub.

Nor was the philandering playboy one to worry too much whether his third wife, Nejma, might not approve when she was rudely awakened by the trio.

Nejma was so angry she told the emergency services Beard was suicidal and had him admitted to a psychiatric ward.

The next morning, the old roué was on the phone to his ex-girlfriends, insisting there was nothing wrong with him and pleading with them to get him out.

Peter Beard pictured with his second wife, Cheryl Tiegs, in the Turksand Caicos

Dashing, impish and seemingly irresistible to women, Peter Beard was an artist, adventurer and African wildlife conservationist who was once described as ‘half Tarzan, half Byron’.

A scion of one of New York’s most august families, he spurned convention. He fell in love with the African wilderness, becoming known as the ‘wild man of the bush’, but never lost his appetite for more worldly pursuits: drugs, drink and celebrity friends including Mick Jagger, Andy Warhol and Francis Bacon.

His matinee-idol looks and devil-may-care personality made him irresistible to women, including actresses Candice Bergen and Bond Girl Carole Bouquet, socialite Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy’s sister) and supermodels Janice Dickinson and Cheryl Tiegs, who was his second wife.

Ivanka Trump strutted right on into her 41st year on Thursday, stepping out for a solo sun-filled stroll in Miami, just days after celebrating her birthday at a fun-filled party with pals.

The former First Daughter was spotted walking along the beach near her family’s luxury condo, putting on a very sporty display in a pair of green leggings, black sleeveless crop top, and a pair of Nike sneakers.

Ivanka, 41, shielded her face from the glare of the sun with an all-black New York Yankees baseball cap – a tribute to her home city – and a pair of dark sunglasses, and she was also pictured sporting a pair of AirPods and carrying her iPhone.

At one point during her stroll, the former senior White House advisor, who wore her blonde hair in a bun that was tucked into her cap, was seen gesturing and talking, suggesting that she used the solo outing as an opportunity to make or take a call.

RASSIE ERASMUS: I’ve served my time and it means the world to be back… my ban has given me plenty of time to reflect and it will be great to return to Ireland with South Africa

Returning to Ireland to restart my career will be a great moment
Spending time away from the sport has given me an opportunity to reflect

This time next week I will have been back in the coaching box for the first time in a year. It will be my 50th birthday on the Saturday of our Test in Dublin but that’s the last thing on my mind.

The bigger thing for me is returning to Ireland, where I spent a relatively short time working as a coach. A few of us will travel to Cork on the Sunday to prepare for our South Africa ‘A’ game against my old club Munster and that’s a place that holds a special place in my heart.

My ban has given me plenty of time to reflect. Words can’t describe how much I’ve missed being in the stadium with the guys. There’s nothing that can replace that match-day feeling. The buzz around the changing room before the boys run out. Looking into their eyes and seeing the excitement… or sometimes the nerves.

Prince William records message and asks fans to tune into his Earthshot Prize summit in New York

Prince William has made his first speech since the death of the Queen as he addressed the Earthshot Prize summit in New York today in a pre-recorded message.

The Prince of Wales, 40, was due to travel to New York for a solo trip this week to give a speech at a conference for his environmental initiative, which aims to find solutions to repair and protect the planet.

However the royal cancelled his trip after his grandmother The Queen’s death earlier this month, and looked deeply emotional and appeared pensive throughout his grandmother’s funeral in London as well as her committal service in Windsor, on Monday.

The Prince of Wales returned to work today as he pre-recorded a message which was played at the conference.

In the pre-recorded message at the event, the royal began by saying: ‘Although it is the saddest circumstances that I am unable to join you today, I am able to join you in video form as you gather in New York for the Earthshot Prize innovation summit.’

He went on to confirm he and Kate would travel to Boston in December for the second Earthshot Prize award ceremony, adding they are ‘so excited.’

Inspired by Kennedy’s Moon Shot proposal in the 1960s, which put the first man on the moon and led to the development of new technology, the Earthshot Prize is set to award £50 million in rewards over 10 years.
