All BBC Casualty spoilers for this week as Iain receives life-changing news
Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) receives a life-changing phone call in tomorrow's (June 28) episode of Casualty, and it will seriously impact his training at Hart. The beloved character accepted a secondment offer recently, and works alongside Teddy Gowan (Milo Clarke) in a series of training exercises tomorrow. However, when Iain gets that call, his attempt at blocking it out in his mind leads to a disastrous situation in the latest test. At Holby ED, Ngozi Okoye's (Adesuwa Oni) alcohol addiction seriously impacts her shift, leading to her making a huge decision about her future. Also, Rida Amaan (Sarah Seggari) enters the hospital wearing a new uniform, and Flynn Byron (Olly Rix) must attempt to come up with an idea to try and handle the drug-induced patients continuing to enter the ED. Here's everything you need to know about the latest episode of Casualty. Ngozi wakes up in a man's house following a one night stand. On her way home, she calls son Obi, but he quickly works out that she's lying to him. Ngozi is then forced to help a young father and daughter Olivia, who has stopped breathing after accidentally ingesting opioids. Despite being hailed as a hero once Olivia pulls though, Ngozi feels shameful due to how her evening went. Later, Ngozi is asked to look after Joel Sykes, who is suffering from several lacerations after being attacked with a knife. The team have found heroin in Joel's bag and moments later, he notices that Ngozi is hungover. Joel remarks that Ngozi looks how he feels, so she snaps back and says that he should feel shame for his involvement in the drug gang. Unbeknownst to her, Dylan Keogh (William Beck) has been watching Ngozi and pulls her aside to be breathalysed. She passes the test, but Dylan is aware that if she took it an hour earlier, things would be very different. A stressed Ngozi is then told that Obi hasn't been in school. After clashing with Nicole Piper (Sammy T Dobson), Ngozi finds a cocktail and drinks it in the staffroom. Spiralling even further after making a discovery about Joel, a devastated Ngozi ends up accepting Dylan's help. After informing Siobhan Mackenzie (Melanie Hill) about her alcoholism, Ngozi decides to attend an AA meeting. At the Hart training centre, Iain praises Teddy to team leader Tim, who isn't sure whether the young paramedic is capable of what Hart has to offer. Iain and Teddy take part in a training exercise but afterwards, Iain's situation changes when he receives a worrying phone call about him being someone's next of kin. As a result of this call, Iain is terribly distracted in his next test and ends up failing. Iain is determined to ignore the call which was about Kim, his mum. We learn that she's been admitted to a hospice due to an alcoholism-related illness. He ponders over whether or not to visit her, and also asks Faith Cadogan (Kirsty Mitchell) if she'd support him if he went to Hart for something more than a secondment. Faith tells her husband that she'd want Iain to turn down the placement, but would support him regardless. Rida begins her first day as a Band 6 nurse and the entire nursing team are thrilled for her. As the shift continues, Rida becomes increasingly overwhelmed. She has to deal with requests from Siobhan and Flynn, but also faces resistance from Ngozi and Jodie (Anna Chell). Stepping in, Siobhan reminds Rida that she can put her foot down with the nursing team. Rida helps Jodie, who is treating a pregnant heroin addict, but with so many other things on her list, she realises something's got to give. Eventually, after continued backchat from Jodie, Rida marks her authority and sends Jodie into resus. A team meeting his held to discuss the morality rates in light of the growing presence of Class A drugs on Holby's streets. Flynn suggests stockpiling naloxone, while Dylan believes that the ED could hand out pre-loaded syringes to prevent more and more people coming into the hospital. More Trending Later, Flynn learns that Dylan has gone against him and handed naloxone to a patient. They argue, and Flynn gives his derogatory opinions on addicts. Dylan tells Flynn that he's an alcoholic, and Flynn worries that he's lost his colleague's respect after his outburst. View More » BBC One's Casualty airs on Saturday, June 28, at 8:20pm.

Who is Carter Hart? The Canadian hockey star accused in the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal
Once viewed as the future of goaltending in Philadelphia, Carter Hart's NHL career has taken a dramatic turn amid serious criminal allegations tied to the 2018 Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A former standout with the Everett Silvertips and one of Canada's brightest young stars between the pipes, Hart now finds himself at the center of one of hockey's most controversial and troubling stories. A rising Canadian goaltender with a reputation for mental toughness and poise Born in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Hart was introduced to sports psychology by age 10 and was known for his sharp focus and calm demeanor on the ice. Drafted 48th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in 2016, he quickly emerged as a top NHL goaltender, becoming the youngest in franchise history to win his debut in 2018. His poise in high-pressure moments—like back-to-back playoff shutouts in 2020—earned him widespread praise. Internationally, Hart was a mainstay in Team Canada's net, winning gold at the 2018 World Junior Championship and silver at the 2019 World Championship. Known for his vision training, quiet intensity, and technical discipline, he was often compared to Montreal Canadiens legend Carey Price—his childhood idol. From NHL starter to unrestricted free agent after serious criminal charges Everything changed in early 2024. Hart was placed on indefinite leave by the Flyers in January, with the team citing "personal reasons." Days later, London, Ontario police named Hart as one of five players ordered to surrender and face charges related to an alleged sexual assault involving members of Canada's 2018 World Junior team. On February 5, Hart was officially charged with one count of sexual assault. The allegations stem from an incident that has rocked Hockey Canada and led to national outcry, mass resignations, and suspended funding from the federal government. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In the wake of the charges, the Flyers declined to extend a qualifying offer to Hart, making him an unrestricted free agent. He has not returned to professional play since.

TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025: Aldi
As grocery prices rose in 2024, the German-owned discount grocer won over more American shoppers. Aldi's relatively small stores offer fewer product options than competitors, but also lower prices, as 90% of Aldi's products are private label. (In January, it issued its first-ever Price Leadership Report, which calculated an average cost savings of 36% over other grocery chains.) 'Value is as top of mind as it's ever been for consumers,' says Jason Hart, CEO of Aldi USA. Aldi's 'simple and efficient approach to grocery retail…saves customers money and time.' The fastest-growing grocer in the U.S. (and third largest by number of locations) opened 120 stores in 2024 and plans to open a company-record 225 more this year—part of a five-year plan to add 800 stores. Aldi, which has never offered single-use plastic bags, uses natural refrigerants in 700 stores—'more than every other retailer in the country,' Hart says—and plans to end use of any polluting refrigerants by 2035, one of the first U.S. food retailers to make this commitment.

Scoop: Highly anticipated Italian restaurant to open in Uptown next month
Spaghett will open in Uptown's Fourth Ward on Friday, July 11, chef-owner Sam Hart shared exclusively with Axios. Why it matters: First announced in 2023, the new pasta and cocktail house is one of Charlotte's most anticipated restaurants. Reservations open today. Dig in: Located in the former Poplar Tapas & Wine spot, Spaghett will specialize in classic Italian dishes and handmade pastas. Mainstays include cacio e pepe and tiramisu, according to Unpretentious Palate. Local produce is central to the restaurant's mission, so expect a rotating menu crafted by chef Kendall Moore. Top Charlotte mixologist Amanda Britton will use local ingredients, including spirits, for the cocktail menu. Small plates will range between $14-$15, pastas will be $20 or cheaper and entrees will be priced in the mid-$20s to upper-$30s. "At the end of the day, it's going to be a neighborhood restaurant first, and we want to make sure that we are accessible to everyone that is in the neighborhood around us," Hart tells Axios. Zoom out: Hart, a James Beard Award finalist, also owns Counter-, an immersive tasting menu restaurant in Wesley Heights. Eventually, Hart hopes to offer a fixed-price tasting menu option at Speghett. To start, everything will be à la carte. Counter- sommelier Michael Myers will be Spaghett's beverage manager. The restaurant will offer Italian wines and other Italian varietals from U.S. winemakers. The vibe: The home/restaurant comprises three dining rooms, one of which can be closed and converted into a private dining room for 12-14 guests. Each room has a distinct wallpaper and feel. The bar, which is in its own room to the left of the entrance, has a cool, old-school vibe. When the restaurant opens, you can expect to hear Italian House music through the speakers, Britton said. Eventually, a private dining room upstairs will open, seating up to 14 people. Once temperatures cool off, the restaurant's patio will open for reservations. Flashback: Spaghett is located inside a 1900 Queen Anne-style home once owned by descendants of Davidson College's founding president, Robert Hall Morrison, according to The Observer. In 2022, four members of the Friends of Fourth Ward neighborhood association purchased the 124-year-old home, The Observer reported at the time. Between the lines: In addition to repairs, Hart and his team had to adhere to the historical house code. "We had to do a massive overhaul of the electrical ... completely redo the crawl space and basement to prevent flooding ... even the hot water heater had to be changed," they said. What's next: Spaghett will open Thursday through Monday from 5-10pm. Eventually, it'll serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Powerball $100m winner: Authorities say windfall ticket could be ‘hiding in plain sight' as search intensifies
Half of all adult Australians were estimated to have bought a Powerball ticket desperately hoping to scoop the $100m on offer two weeks ago, but the person who actually won the lot has so far proved shy about coming forward. All we know about the winner of the monster June 12 draw is that they bought their ticket at the Bondi Junction Newsagency and they were not a registered player — a decision that could end up proving costly. The Lotto spokesperson Matt Hart said they were working behind the scenes to collate all the information they could about the ticket holder so they could claim their windfall. 'We're hoping they check their ticket and make contact with us as soon as possible to start the prize claim process,' he said. Mr Hart said he still hadn't lost hope of uniting the mountain of cash with its rightful owner. 'We've had division one winners come forward months and even years after the winning numbers were drawn to claim their prizes,' he said. 'In most cases, these winners have told us the winning ticket was hiding in plain sight the whole time – in their wallet or purse, in the car console or on the fridge door.' Mr Hart said that, given the size of the prize, they were eager for the mystery player to get in touch and start enjoying their good fortune. 'In New South Wales, players have six years to claim their prize. After that time, the prize is gone. So, while there is plenty of time, the clock is ticking. 'While we're working behind the scenes to collate all the information we can about this mystery winner so we can unite them with their prize, we're hoping they check their ticket and make contact with us as soon as possible to start the prize claim process. The ticket holder shares the title of Australia's third-biggest lottery winner. Last week, The Lott's Khat McIntyre said the winner could already be basking in their good fortune if they had registered it to The Lott Members Club. 'It's the question many Aussies have been asking during the past seven days: who won last week's $100 million Powerball prize, and do they know they've won?' she said. 'By registering your in-store or online lottery entry to The Lott Members Club, not only are we able to contact you straight after the draw if you win big, but your prize is secure. 'Even if you happen to lose or damage your winning ticket, if it is registered to you, we could still unite you with your prize, providing the ultimate peace of mind.'
