Dear Mary: I fantasise about the night I dressed up as a French maid on a stag do – should I tell my wife and kids I could be a cross-dresser?
Question: About a year ago, one of my friends was getting married and we had a stag do in the UK so we could see a soccer game. In the evening, we all dressed up in French maid costumes and went on the lash.

Algeria sentences French football journalist to seven years in jail
Algeria 's authorities have sentenced a prominent French sports journalist specialised in African football to seven years in prison for "glorifying terrorism", media rights campaigners RSF said Sunday, denouncing the verdict as "nonsensical". Christophe Gleizes, 36, who contributes to the So Foot magazine, was ordered by the court in Tizi Ouzou to be immediately incarcerated and will appeal the ruling on Monday, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said. "He has now been unjustly convicted and imprisoned for simply doing his job," said the group. Gleizes, who has co-authored a book about football in Africa, was arrested in May 2024 and then placed under judicial control and was unable to leave the country, RSF said. "Christophe Gleizes has been subjected to an absurd judicial control order for over a year," said Thibaut Bruttin, RSF's director general. "His seven-year sentence is nonsensical and demonstrates one thing: today, nothing escapes politics," he added. Gleizes travelled to the country and Tizi Ouzou to write about the local football club Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie, named after Algeria's Kabylia region, home to the Berber Kabyle people. "We are in shock," his family said in a statement shared by RSF. "There is no justification for Christophe having to endure this ordeal. How can one justify punishing a journalist for practising his profession with integrity?" 'In shock' As well as "glorifying terrorism", he was convicted of "possessing publications for propaganda purposes harmful to national interests", RSF said. It said Gleizes had 2015 and 2017 been in touch with a Tizi Ouzou football figure prominent in the Movement for the Self-Determination of Kabylie (MAK), designated a "terrorist" organisation by the Algerian authorities in 2021. "The first two interactions between Christophe Gleizes and this individual occurred well before this designation," it said adding he had also not concealed contacting the person again in 2024 as part of preparations for the report. "Imprisoned for doing his job!" said So Foot. "His loved ones and editorial team are in shock," it added. The jailing of Gleizes comes at a time of growing tension between Algeria and former colonial master France. Algeria arrested and jailed French-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal in November on national security charges and has defied calls from President Emmanuel Macron for his release. Macron angered Algiers in July 2024 when he backed Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara, where Algeria backs the pro-independence Polisario Front.

Radar Failure Disrupts Flights Across Northern Italy
Israa Farhan A radar malfunction at Milan's air traffic control center led to the suspension of flights across northwestern Italy for two hours on Saturday evening, according to ENAV, the company responsible for managing Italian airspace. In a statement released Sunday, ENAV confirmed that all inbound and outbound flights were halted between 8:20 PM and 10:20 PM local time (18:20–20:20 GMT). Air traffic gradually resumed and returned to normal by midnight. During the disruption, ENAV activated its satellite-based emergency system to safely manage aircraft already airborne. The suspension of subsequent flights followed strict international aviation safety standards. The company clarified that the issue stemmed from a communication failure in the data link supplying radar information to the operations room. This connection is managed by Telecom Italia, an external service provider. Telecom Italia has yet to respond to requests for comment. According to Italy's ANSA news agency, around 320 flights were affected by the radar failure. Authorities at Milan's airports arranged about 200 temporary beds to accommodate stranded passengers. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Nuweiba Port Closed over Bad Weather Conditions
H-Tayea Nuweiba, Egypt – June 29, 2025 — The Red Sea Ports Authority has announced the closure of Nuweiba Port in South Sinai this evening due to adverse weather conditions. According to the Authority's media center, wind speeds reached 20 to 25 knots with southwesterly gusts, and wave heights rose to 2–3 meters, causing significant maritime turbulence and unsafe sea conditions.
