Woad leads Korda at Scottish Open as Lee slips back
Lottie Woad, competing in her first tournament as a pro, holds a two- stroke lead over world No.1 Nelly Korda at the midway point of the Women's Scottish Open, but Australia's Minjee Lee has fallen back. World No.5 Lee was lying joint-third after a steady first-round 68, but a score of 74 on Friday saw her slump down the order to join a group of nine players sharing 29th place on two under at Dundonald Links in Ayrshire. Fellow Australian Cassie Porter carded a second consecutive round of 70 and stands two shots above Lee on four under, but eight shots behind leader Wood. Woad, 21, carded a 7-under 65 on Friday to move to 12-under. She was the No.1 amateur in the world before turning pro after a tied third finish at the Evian Championship two weeks ago. Korda and Denmark's Nanna Koerstz Madsen both shot 66 in the second round and are tied for second at 10-under. Sei Young Kim (67) is in solo fourth at 9-under and fellow South Korean Hyo Joo Kim (66) is another shot back in solo fifth. Woad collected seven birdies during a clean round, including birdies at all four par-5 holes. "Bogey-free is always nice," Woad said. "Hit a lot of greens ... a lot of fairways, and then holed a few nice putts." Woad's remarkable month began with a six-shot victory at the Women's Irish Open, which made her the first amateur to win on the Ladies European Tour since 2022. She finished 13-under at the Evian Championship the following week, one shot behind winner Grace Kim. Woad played the first two rounds with Korda, whose round Friday featured seven birdies and one bogey at the par-5 18th hole. Korda is still looking for her first win of the season, which includes a T2 at the US Women's Open, as players ramp up for next week's British Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl in Wales. "I started out strong with two birdies on my first two holes, and then the wind kind of died down throughout the day, so capitalised on the weather," Korda said. Defending champion Lauren Coughlin (70) is part of a seven-way tie for 12th at 4-under. First-round leader Charlotte Laffar of England plummeted into a tie for 91st place and missed the cut after a 10-over 82 on Friday.

Britain is in grip of a shoplifting epidemic and criminals know they can get away with it
Free to steal BRITAIN is in the grip of a nightmare shoplifting epidemic. Police recorded 530,643 offences in the year to March 2025 — a huge 20 per cent rise in just 12 months. 1 That's nearly three incidents EVERY MINUTE during typical store opening hours of 9am to 6pm. Criminals know the chances of being caught — or the police even bothering to turn up — are pitifully low, so are more than happy to take their chances. And, as with so much that's wrong in this country, it's law-abiding taxpayers who get hit in the pocket. According to retail chiefs, the surge in thefts adds around 6p to every purchase customers make, as they seek to recoup losses topping £1.8billion. What will enrage the public even more is our investigation today, which shows that some organised shoplifting is now being run from INSIDE asylum hotels. Gangs of migrants — put up at your expense — are brazenly thieving luxury items from the biggest names on the High Street, worth thousands. According to our whistleblower, even when they are caught the cops take no action. They are simply sent back to their accommodation, with no impact on their claims to stay here permanently. The policy of putting migrants in hotels has been a total disaster. The inability to stop shoplifters is inexcusable. Both abject failures paint a depressing picture of a Britain that's lost the plot. Taking the rise THE impact of the disastrous Autumn Budget gets worse by the day. Jobs are fast disappearing and growth for the last quarter is barely above zero. Business confidence is on the floor, while costs are rising and household wallets squeezed. Bosses all blame the same thing for the forced redundancies: Labour's wealth-destroying National Insurance rise. Chancellor Rachel Reeves surely realises hitting business isn't the answer. She must change course. You're joking AT last the wait is over. Jeremy Corbyn has officially launched his new political party. It could be bad news for Keir Starmer as he faces losing left-wing support in Labour's marginal constituencies. Hamas -sympathising Corbyn could also hoover up the hardline elements of the pro- Palestinian lobby. Corbyn's union-backed band of moaning socialists could end up calling it Your Party.

Bangladesh remains on edge a day after Islamists & pro-Pak section of Army attack Awami League
Bangladesh remains on the edge and clashes that erupted in former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's and her father and founder of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujib, Gopalganj, on Wednesday, have reached the United Nations in what is allegedly being described as 'Genocide'. In a letter written to the UN Ethical Office, an UK-based independent non-governmental organisation called the International Crimes Research Foundation (ICRF) highlighted the political violence, heritage destruction and other Human Rights violations that have engulfed Bangladesh. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Select a Course Category Healthcare Project Management Management healthcare Product Management others Technology Digital Marketing Data Science Data Science Cybersecurity PGDM Finance Design Thinking CXO Leadership Public Policy Data Analytics Operations Management MBA Others Artificial Intelligence MCA Degree Skills you'll gain: Financial Analysis in Healthcare Financial Management & Investing Strategic Management in Healthcare Process Design & Analysis Duration: 12 Weeks Indian School of Business Certificate Program in Healthcare Management Starts on Jun 13, 2024 Get Details The objective of the rally was to desecrate and demolish the graveyard of Bangladesh's Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Visuals of the forces in Bangladesh opening fire, with clear instructions, have gone viral. Sources alleged that Pakistan sympathisers with the Bangladesh Army may have been behind firing. 'On 16 July 2025, a political group known as the Nationalist Citizens Party (NCP), which is neither registered with the Election Commission nor holds any legal status as an Electoral Political Party, marched into Gopalganj with thousands of its followers,' ICRF said in a letter to the UN. 'Their reported objective was to desecrate and demolish the graveyard of the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman- a sacred and symbolic national site that holds profound emotional, historical, and political significance for our people,' the letter furthered. The ICRF noted that while the residents resisted the party workers, the Bangladesh Army deployed forces in support of the NCP (pro Islamists student party). The group accused the country's army of using lethal weapons to open fire on 'unarmed civilians'. Contrary to the figure that is being reported by multiple Bangladeshi news outlets, the report suggested that at least 21 people lost their lives in the clashes and a civilian was arrested and tortured by the authorities. ICRF went on to demand an independent international investigation into the Gopalganj crisis. The group also urged the UN to hold the Bangladesh Army accountable under international law for any violations of human rights, including extrajudicial killings and torture The Yunus regime has blamed the banned Awami League for the violence.

Pro Palestine protesters target Leonardo with van
Police were called to remove pro Palestine protesters at the Leonardo factory at Crewe Toll. By the time police officers arrived the protesters had rammed the van through the fence from the Morrisons car park and climbed onto the roof to try to cut through the razor wire. Police officers wearing what looks like climbing gear can be seen in our photographs putting the protesters into a stretcher and lowering them to the ground. The Sun reports that three women have been arrested after the protest. Leonardo supplies defence technology, and protesters repeatedly call on the company to stop manufacturing devices which they say are being used in Gaza. The protesters also flew a Palestinian flag over the back of the van.
