Haim fans praise band as 'born headliners' as they suffer sound issues onstage during secret Glastonbury set
Fans of girl band Haim had nothing but praise after they suffered sound issues onstage during their secret Glastonbury set on Saturday night. The Los Angeles-based rock band - which consists of three sisters - performed in front of an eager crowd who were excited to watch them live. Haim had been dropping hints about their appearance in the weeks running up to the show at Worthy Farm. But fans were delighted when they came out, although they suffered some sound issues. During their set, fans were encouragingly heard shouting 'louder, louder' as music nearby was drowning their sound out. Things were quickly corrected and sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim carried on with their highly-anticipated set. The trio took to Glastonbury for the first time since 2022, where they headlined the Pyramid Stage. This year, they performed at The Park stage - and it was well received after they had previously labelled it their favourite. Speaking to radio presenter Jo Whiley, Alana teased: 'We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite, 'cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie.' Dropping further hints, Alana continued: 'It was like, "What is going on? How did we get here?" And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. 'And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. But it was incredible, it's the best festival in the world.' Glastonbury Festival is well under way - and there's been plenty of highs and lows so far. On Friday, Lewis Capaldi reduced everyone to tears when he declared: 'I'm back baby' during his emotional return to the Pyramid Stage. The Scottish singer, 28, was greeted with cheers from the huge Worthy Farm crowd, two years after his battle with Tourettes left him unable to finish his performance at the festival and led to a career hiatus. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved Delighted to back in front of an audience he tearfully said: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!''. Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed brand new single Survive, which highlights the difficult period in his career following his last Glastonbury gig. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved. In his emotional speech, Lewis said: 'Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'. 'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'.

Supermarkets could be fined if they fail to hit new healthy eating targets
The 'healthy food standard' will apply to retailers and manufacturers in England as part of a 10-year strategy to cut diet-related diseases, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said. Initially developed by innovation agency Nesta, the policy introduces mandatory health targets for retailers while giving them flexibility in how to meet them, such as by tweaking recipes, running price promotions on healthier items, or redesigning store layouts. Supermarkets will be required to report sales data and those that fail to hit targets could face financial penalties, Nesta suggested. Nesta analysed 36 million supermarket transactions, finding an average shopping basket health score of 67 out of 100, and has set a target to raise this to 69. Its modelling shows that raising the score by just two points would cut obesity by around a fifth over three years, helping more than three million people to achieve a healthier weight. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said: 'If everyone who is overweight reduced their calorie intake by around 200 calories a day – the equivalent of a bottle of fizzy drink – obesity would be halved. 'This Government's ambition for kids today is for them to be part of the healthiest generation of children ever. That is within our grasp. With the smart steps we're taking today, we can give every child a healthy start to life. 'Our brilliant supermarkets already do so much work for our communities and are trying to make their stores healthier, and we want to work with them and other businesses to create a level playing field. 'Through our new healthy food standard, we will make the healthy choice the easy choice, because prevention is better than cure.' The Government aims to introduce mandatory reporting by the end of this parliament in 2029, with the standard to be achieved some way into the next. Ken Murphy, chief executive of Tesco, welcomed the announcement, while Simon Roberts, chief executive of Sainsbury's, called it an 'important and positive step forward in helping the nation to eat well'. Katharine Jenner, director of the Obesity Health Alliance, said: 'This is a fair and evidence-based prescription for better health; big businesses urgently need the government to level the playing field to help them focus on selling products that help people live well.' Environment Secretary Steve Reed said: 'Our food strategy will bring together the health plan, food producers and retailers to make sure we can feed the nation more healthily while growing the economic success of our food sector.' Anna Taylor, executive director of the Food Foundation, said: 'The introduction of mandatory reporting by all large food companies, including takeaway chains, on the healthiness of their food sales is a game changer.' Sonia Pombo, head of impact and research at Action on Salt, said: 'This will help shift the responsibility away from individuals and toward a food system that truly supports healthier choices.'

Nkunku's extra-time goal sparks Chelsea to weather-delayed 4-1 win over Benfica in Club World Cup
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Christopher Nkunku scored off a rebound in extra time and Chelsea went on to beat Benfica 4-1 in a Club World Cup Round of 16 match Saturday at Bank of America Stadium that was delayed for two hours due to lightning and took nearly five hours to complete. Chelsea advances to play Palmeiras in the quarterfinals Friday in Philadelphia. Palmeiras beat Botafogo 1-0 on Saturday. Nkunku's tiebreaking goal came in the 108th minute with Benfica playing a man down after Gianluca Prestianni received a red card. Moisés Caicedo's left-footed shot from the left side of the box was saved in the center of the goal by Anatolii Trubin, but an alert Nkunku was there to bury the deflection into the top right corner before being mobbed by teammates. Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall added insurance goals in extra time for the final margin. Reece James scored on a free kick in the 64th minute to give Chelsea a 1-0 lead. But with four minutes left, the match was stopped because of lightning and delayed for two hours. When the teams returned, Chelsea was called for a handball in stoppage time when the ball hit Malo Gusto's hand. Angel Di Maria converted the penalty to even the match. After dominating most of the first half, the English club finally broke through when the 25-year-old James laced a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner of the net. The Portuguese side had a chance to tie it in the 78th minute, but Gianluca Prestianni sent a right-footed shot from the right side of the box just left of the goal. Prestianni held his head in his hands in agony after the miss. In the closing minutes, players were pulled off the field and fans told to seek cover due to lightning strikes in the area, although it did not rain at the stadium. Only a few thousand fans returned for the conclusion. Chelsea entered with a 3-0 record against Benfica and controlled the tempo in the first half with a 5-1 edge in shots on goal. But despite possessing the ball more than 60% of the time, the Blues headed to locker room at halftime in a scoreless tie. The match was not well attended. More than half of the lower bowl of 75,000-seat Bank of America Stadium was empty and all but a few hundred seats in the upper deck were remained unclaimed as the event continues to struggle with ticket sales in the United States even as it moved into the knockout round. Key moment James' goal gave Chelsea momentum after it failed to convert some decent looks in the first half. Takeaways Benfica seemed content to play defense most of the match and try to take advantage of its few chances. But the offense could not capitalize on the opportunities it generated. Noteworthy It was the first two Round-of-16 knockout games at the home of the NFL's Carolina Panthers. Inter Milan meets Fluminense on Monday, with the winner facing either Bayern Munich or Flamengo in the quarterfinals. ___ AP soccer:
