Glastonbury 2025 star admits lifetime Sainsbury's ban for shoplifting
Pop star PinkPantheress has revealed that she was banned from all Sainsbury's stores nationwide as a teenager after her friend stole a Drumstick lolly Rising pop star and Glastonbury favourite PinkPantheress has revealed she's been banned from every Sainsbury's store in the UK over an incident involving a stolen Drumstick lolly when she was younger. In a new interview with GQ, the 23-year-old singer, whose real name Victoria Beverley Walker, reflected on the surprising moment from her teenage years, which has haunted her ever since. 'My friend stole a Drumstick from Sainsbury's, but that actually is illegal,' she explained. 'I remember thinking to myself like, and we got banned, and we really went through it. I got banned, but I didn't steal anything.' Although she insists she wasn't the one who took anything, she still received the same punishment: 'Given our age at the time, one Drumstick resulting in a ban, it's a bit much. Because we were banned from all Sainsbury's across the country.' The candid confession came as she promoted her latest single, Illegal - a tongue-in-cheek coincidence which has not got lost on fans. PinkPantheress is currently enjoying a career high following her breakout Glastonbury performance on the Woodsies stage. Her Friday night set was met with glowing praise online, with festivalgoers describing it as one of the standout moments of the weekend. One fan posted: 'PinkPantheress is brilliant. Don't think you'll see a crowd enjoy themselves more this weekend.' Another added: 'Genuinely never heard of PinkPantheress but wow, she's an unreal artist.' A third wrote: 'PinkPantheress's stage presence has improved so much - I love this for her.' However, her time at the festival wasn't without hiccups. A planned intimate set the day before the festival officially began was cancelled at short notice, leaving some fans disappointed. Speculation initially swirled around crowd control concerns, but organisers quickly clarified the reason. A Glastonbury spokesperson said: 'This change was absolutely not as a result of overcrowding fears, the artist was simply no longer able to make this performance. But she is still playing her Woodsies set.' Since rising to fame through viral success on TikTok, PinkPantheress has quickly carved out a spot as one of the UK's most exciting new pop voices. With a distinct, genre-blending sound and a growing fanbase of over 2.7 million Instagram followers, she has already earned three Brit Award nominations and landed both singles and albums in the UK Top 10. Her new single Illegal arrives as she continues to ride a wave of momentum and with stories like her Sainsbury's ban now out in the open, it seems PinkPantheress is more than willing to keep things real as her music career continues to blossom.

ITLOS Judge Highlights Legal Duty To Strengthen Fisheries Enforcement At Judicial Symposium
HONIARA, 20 JUNE 2025 – As the Judicial Symposium 2025 wraps up today in Honiara, one of the standout moments of the three-day gathering was the keynote address delivered by Honourable. Judge Dr Kathy-Ann Brown of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS). In her address, Judge Brown called on Pacific judicial leaders to reinforce legal frameworks that address Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing and uphold obligations under international law. Addressing Chief Justices, Judges, Magistrates and legal experts, Judge Brown outlined how legal responsibilities under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) are evolving, especially concerning due diligence, flag State liability - the responsibility of a country to monitor and control the actions of fishing vessels it has registered - and cooperation on the conservation of shared fish stocks. The Judicial Symposium is attended by judicial representatives from eight FFA Members; Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu. 'The standard of due diligence has to be more severe for the riskier activities,' Judge Brown stated, referencing IUU fishing within Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs). 'The Tribunal addresses the sorts of measures that flag States would be expected to take, to fulfil its due diligence obligations with respect to IUU fishing in the EEZ,' she added. Judge Brown stressed that due diligence is not fixed, but shaped over time by scientific progress, emerging risks, and enforcement expectations. She made clear that legal liability for States may arise where there is a failure to meet these standards. 'A flag State… could be held liable only where there has been a failure to comply with its due diligence obligation.' She noted that sanctions for IUU fishing must be strong enough to remove the benefits of non-compliance and deter future violations. Drawing from ITLOS advisory opinions, Judge Brown also discussed: The legal obligations of flag States when their vessels violate coastal State laws; The duty of States to consult and cooperate on shared tuna stocks and migratory species; The extension of UNCLOS obligations to international organisations, parties to the agreement, that manage fisheries on behalf of their members; The recognition of climate change as marine pollution under UNCLOS, with implications for enforcement and responsibility. She also referenced the ITLOS Climate Advisory Opinion, which affirms that greenhouse gas emissions affecting the marine environment fall under the definition of pollution in UNCLOS. This, she said, reinforces the legal obligation of States to act based on the best available science and to take measures to prevent or mitigate environmental harm. 'States have the obligation to protect and preserve the marine environment,' she said, citing UNCLOS Article 192. Judge Brown's address carried particular weight given her distinguished background in international law and public service. A Jamaican national, she has served on the ITLOS bench since 2020. Her legal career spans roles as Deputy Solicitor General of Jamaica, Permanent Representative to the International Seabed Authority, and Chief Technical Advisor to the Prime Minister of Jamaica. She is a Senior Fellow of the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law and was inducted into the Hall of Eminent Caribbean International Jurists in 2019. In 2024, she received the International Justice Award in honour of Judge C.G. Weeramantry. The Judicial Symposium 2025 was co-hosted by the Solomon Islands Chief Justice Sir Albert R. Palmer and the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA). Over the three-day event, judicial leaders engaged in dialogue on international fisheries law, compliance challenges, and the critical role of legal interpretation in securing sustainable fisheries for the Pacific region. The Symposium ends today with final reflections from the judiciary, followed by a formal closing session led by the Chief Justice of Solomon Islands and the FFA Director-General.
