Tom Holland's stunt double is strapped to moving car in daring scenes as filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day kicks off in Glasgow
Tom Holland's stunt double was seen hard at work on Saturday as Glasgow was transformed into New York City to film the upcoming Spider-Man movie. Tom Holland and Zendaya will be returning to screen for their fourth Spider-Man movie, titled Brand New Day, which is slated for release in July 2026. Fans have already been waiting four years to the follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home, and as filming finally kicked off, some very dramatic scenes were seen being filmed. A stunt double for leading actor Tom, 29 - who plays Peter Parker - was strapped to the roof of a moving vehicle, with excitement gearing up for the superhero venture. The nail-biting stunts were performed on top of a tank, with rehearsals taking place ahead of the scenes being filmed. The cast and crew were hard at work as they seemed to be planning some daredevil manoeuvres for the action film. A blacked-out Mercedes 4x4 AMG was seen guarding the area as they drove through the Scottish city. US flags have been erected on the sides of buildings while bright yellow taxis have been parked up in the city as Glasgow has been turned into New York City for filming. According to The Sun, producers planned to film in Liverpool but changed location following the devastating parade crash in the city on May 26, which left 109 people injured. Paul Doyle, 53, appeared in court earlier this month charged with seven offences including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. In light of the crash, producers reportedly made the decision to relocate filming to Glasgow to be respectful to those affected by the incident. 'There were discussions about whether it was appropriate to stage big stunts, including car chases and explosions, in light of the awful incident,' a source told the publication. 'Filming is due to start in the coming days in Scotland so fans should keep their eyes peeled for webs on street corners.' A number of major roads will be closed in Glasgow over the coming days as production takes over the city, according to the Herald. Leading stars Tom and Zendaya, 28, were already in Scotland ahead of filming after shooting for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey in the country earlier this month. Daily Mail contacted Tom and Zendaya's representatives and Disney+ for comment at the time. Tom first appeared as Spider-Man in the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War and made his solo debut in the 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, alongside Zendaya - who portrays his love interest MJ. He has appeared in another two Spider-Man movies - 2019's Far From Home and 2021's No Way Home - as well as other Marvel spin-offs. No Way Home finished on a dramatic cliffhanger which saw the entire world forget who Peter Parker is after his identity as Spider-Man was made public in the previous film, causing him endless issues. Fans have been eagerly waiting to see whether Peter will be able to pick things up again with MJ after she devastatingly forgot who he was altogether following Doctor Strange's spell. Leading stars Tom and Zendaya fostered a real-life romance on the set of Spider-Man as they began dating after starring as on-screen lovers. They got engaged in December of last year, but will not be tying the knot any time soon due to their busy filming schedules, according to Law Roach. Leading stars Tom and Zendaya (pictured in 2021) also fostered a real-life love story on the set of the Marvel movie as they began dating after starring as on-screen partners Zendaya's trusted stylist told E! News of the nuptials: 'The process hasn't even started yet [...].' Zendaya is working on so many movies. 'She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.' As well as co-starring in Brand New Day, the in-demand couple will also appear in Christopher Nolan 's big-screen adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey next year. Zendaya is also shooting Denis Villeneuve's fantasy flick Dune: Part Three, Kristoffer Borgli's romantic dramedy The Drama, DreamWorks animated movie Shrek 5, and the third season of HBO Max's drama Euphoria. Zendaya has also signed on to produce and star as singer Ronnie Spector in Barry Jenkins' biopic Be My Baby, which is based on her 2022 memoir.

Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested on domestic violence offense at Washington airport
Reigning 100m world champion Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was arrested Sunday on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense, according to a police report obtained by the Associated Press. On Thursday, she ran in the opening round of the women's 100m at US track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon. She has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion. The 25-year-old Richardson was booked into the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington, at 6.54pm last Sunday and released Monday at 1.13pm. 'USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter,' USA Track and Field said in a statement. Richardson's agent did not immediately reply to an email request for comment. The police report said an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. The report later said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones. In the police report, the officer said: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' Richardson won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100 relay to an Olympic gold. She had a positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials and didn't compete at the Tokyo Olympics.

Organised crime is suffocating our high streets
Time was, organised crime was something you only saw on TV. You'd read about drug busts and murders in the paper, but it was always in faraway places. Now, 'OC' as the police call it, is on our local high streets — upfront and in our faces — and it's making us angry. I'm talking, of course, about the surging numbers of shops selling counterfeit tobacco and vapes, Turkish-style barbers and car washes. The extent — the brazenness — of the criminality is shocking, undermining legitimate shops nearby and fuelling anti-immigrant populism. I recently spent a day with trading standards officers in Hull as they hunted for illegal tobacco with sniffer dogs. In all but one of the five shops they raided that day, they seized thousand of pounds-worth of fake fags and vapes. They knew they'd find it because, along with 80 other premises in the city, they'd busted them all before. They also knew that within days — if not hours — of us leaving, the crims would be back in business, plying their corner of the £5 billion-a-year fake tobacco trade. As we travelled in our unmarked cars from one job to the next, men standing outside shops would look startled and pick up their phones. 'Spotters,' the officers explained: they'd recognised our vehicles and were calling through to other shops in the area to warn them. Behind every illegal cigarette and roll-up lies a trail of misery: the trafficked slaves assembling the product in British and European towns; the women workers forced into sex with the bosses; the smuggled migrants toiling for hours under the floorboards of the shops, passing up hidden cigs to the till staff. The gangs pollute neighbourhoods, too. Outside Dodo's Mini Mart in Hull, whose roof was so riddled with hollowed out hidey holes for contraband it looked fit to fall in, rangy looking men gathered. As the officers carried out evidence bags the size of bin liners full of illegal tobacco, some shouted abuse at us, pointing their camera phones at our faces and number plates. Locals, perhaps, employed by the gangs to restock the hidey-holes with fake cigs once we'd left? Or simply smokers who like buying tobacco for a third of the price of the real thing? Contraband shops are antisocial behaviour magnets — be that children buying the cheap cigs and hanging around outside, drug dealing, or even violence. For local businesses, they are a disaster. Legitimate corner shops' tobacco sales vanish once word gets out that a £16 pack of 'Marlboro' is going for £4.50 a few doors down. And, for every regular smoker they lose, that's a string of lost sales of confectionery, crisps or fizzy drinks the customer used to buy with the fags. Illicit shops further damage honest rivals by subsidising price cuts on confectionery and groceries with the thousands of pounds a week they make selling fake baccy. Not to mention the tax, minimum wage and national insurance they avoid. • A tiny town, 14 salons. Why are barbers taking over the high street? Pretty soon, the law-abiding retailer will give up the lease and move on, leaving yet another boarded up shop for the leaching gangs to move into. Before you know it, you're left with a carnage of dodgy minimarts, empty shops and barbers of ill-repute, staffed by a ready supply of migrant workers. As families stay away, the high street asphyxiates. Can't we keep these criminals out of our once-bustling high streets? Of course, we can. We just need the commitment to do it. First off, trading standards officers should be given more powers quickly to shut lawbreaking premises, and for far longer than the three-month orders currently used. A year should do it. Currently, most don't bother as the legal process is so laborious and expensive it would evaporate their budgets. And, if we're going to ratchet up the punishments they hand out, we need to give them more muscle to deal with the blowback. Trading standards are not an arm of the police; they are council officials, there to check butchers and bakers aren't fiddling the weights and measures. Yet we're sending them out, armed with nothing but a smile and a clipboard, to tackle organised crime. If we're going to get tough, we need to put officers working in this area into a permanent partnership with the police. They're just too vulnerable now; I'm told one in the North East was threatened that she'd be kidnapped and blinded if her team doesn't stop their raids. They work in pairs to keep them safe, but one tells me his right-hand man is a 17-year-old apprentice — barely old enough for a shave in a Turkish barbershop. We should also get tough with the landlords who allow this crime to go on in their properties, lured by the higher rents the bad guys offer to pay. Warn them, then prosecute for owning a house of ill-repute. Enforce the 'know your customer' rules on their estate agents, with spot checks to see if they know the origins of the funds of these dubious businesses. Trading standards find the same dodgy agents crop up time and again in their investigations, placing crooks into vacant shops. Shut them down. The criminals would not have arrived, of course, if high streets weren't already on their knees. Online shopping and out-of-town retail parks devastated them long before the barbers and vape shops invaded. Successive governments have tried to stem the rot, and Labour had a go last week with its small business plan. There were fine ideas: 13,000 new police officers on high streets, lower business rates for SMEs, and cheaper parking. But even if you believed the promises, they didn't deal with the main problem. Post the internet and global financial crisis, there are simply too many shops. If we can't let them out to honest retailers, we should transform them into the things people need: NHS dentists and physiotherapists, affordable homes. Then the gangs could be kept at bay.
