LONDON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Intelligence services must not dwell too much on past threats but accept that a new strategic shock along the lines of the 9/11 attacks could already be in preparation where they are not looking, the head of Britain's MI5 spy agency said.
In an opinion piece published on Friday to mark 25 years since al Qaeda militants crashed hijacked passenger jets into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon, MI5's Director General Ken McCallum said security agencies had to be ready to adapt to current and future challenges.
"We know that the next strategic shock will, by definition, not resemble the last one. That is perhaps the most important lesson of all," McCallum wrote in the commentary for the Independent newspaper.
"We must of course always learn from the last attack – but must beware of preparing brilliantly to fight yesterday's enemy, using yesterday's methods, against yesterday's target ... The uncomfortable truth is that the next strategic shock may already be taking shape somewhere we are not yet looking."
Al Qaeda, though diminished, remains a threat, as does the aspiration of that group and other militants for mass casualty attacks, McCallum said.

If there's one thing you learn after a few seasons of New York Fashion Week, it's that the shows are only half the fun. Sure, everyone spends the day running from runway to runway, but once the sun goes down, the fashion crowd has an entirely different schedule to keep. There are dinners, ****** tail parties, store openings, after-parties—and, inevitably, some nights that go much later than planned.
The spring/summer 2027 season is officially underway, and so is the party circuit. Things kicked off on September 8, when Siegelman Stable hosted a dinner at Pendry Manhattan West, where Carmelo Anthony, US Open semifinalist Frances Tiafoe, and New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek, fresh off the team's championship season, all made appearances.
But the following night really got things going. On September 9, Bulgari brought Dua Lipa, Lisa, and Anne Hathaway to the High Line for a special Serpenti Infinito unveiling before the festivities moved to Boom. Lipa arrived at the after-party with her new husband, Callum Turner, and later hit the dance floor with Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams. Elsewhere in the city, Ugg and Willy Chavarria toasted the global launch of their collaboration at Ray's, while Coach followed its 85th-anniversary runway show with a club-style after-party of its own. Not bad for the first two nights—and the fashion week social calendar is only getting busier from here.
Ahead, find the best photos from New York Fashion Week's parties, dinners, and late-night celebrations, with plenty more to come as the week unfolds.

Callum O'Hare "can't wait" to make his home debut after a hectic welcome to Wrexham since completing his deadline-day move from Sheffield United.
The 28-year-old got up in the early hours on Tuesday morning to seal his switch to the Racecourse Ground before Wrexham's trip to Millwall.
O'Hare then raced to London on the train, arriving hours before kick-off to make the squad, but remained an unused sub as Wrexham won 3-0 at the Den.
Then came his first Welsh derby. He was thrust in from the start by Phil Parkinson, even though he had not yet trained with all of his new teammates.
And O'Hare very nearly capped off a whirlwind few days with his maiden Wrexham goal on debut at Swansea, but the former Coventry man dragged his chance wide.

A man born without arms has had his first taste of life as a racing driver, after taking his newly adapted race car out on a circuit for the first time.
Callum Smith, 23, was spotted by recruiters at Team BRIT earlier this year, but it has taken several months to adapt a race car for him, adding a steering wheel that can be controlled with his feet.
Now the rookie driver has had his first opportunity to take the car out for a spin at Donington race circuit and said the "raw emotion" of the day was "just completely different to how I had it planned out in my head."
"I don't think there's too many words to describe the feelings and the sensations of it all", Smith added.
Paul Fullick is Team BRIT's GT3 driver and was in the passenger seat for the track day giving advice on the circuit and car.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson says Swansea City captain Ben Cabango got away with a "leg-breaking challenge" in their Welsh derby stalemate.
Parkinson claimed the Wales defender should have been given a straight red for the lunge on midfielder Callum O'Hare late on in the match at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Cabango, who had come on as a second-half substitute, was booked for the foul that prompted an angry reaction from the visitors' bench.
O'Hare was replaced soon after as Swansea maintained their unbeaten start to the season to stay top of the early Championship table.
"I know we want to protect our players but, when someone flies in at that speed, that could have been a leg-breaking challenge," Parkinson said.

West Bromwich Albion left-back Callum Styles has said he has taken on more of a leadership role in the side after the departures of several experienced players and the arrival of younger talent during the summer transfer window.
Seven new arrivals at The Hawthorns were aged 23 or younger, while three players aged over 30 made their exits this summer alongside Karlan Grant and Kristian Bielik, both 28, and 27-year-old Josh Maja.
The plan to bring more youth into the team means Styles, 26, is one of the older members of the squad.
"I think that's natural [to step into leadership] when you've played a lot of games in the Championship and you're getting older season by season," Styles told BBC Radio WM.
"Quite a few of us that were here last year feel like it's our role to then get the new lads adjusted to the league, to the team and to the physicality as quickly as possible.

Jota's return from long-term injury will come too late for the winger to play in upcoming Europa League games after the Portuguese was left out of Celtic's squad along with three of their summer signings.
Joel van den Berg, the 19-year-old bought from PSV Eindhoven, and two on-loan Chelsea midfielders - forward Shim Mheuka and midfielder Landon Emenalo - also miss out after their arrivals this week.
The 27-year-old Jota suffered a cruciate ligament injury in April 2025 but returned to training last month, with ***** istant manager Shaun Maloney stressing "he's still a matter of weeks" away from a return.
Forward Callum Osmand does make the 25-man squad despite his recent injury.
Manager Martin O'Neill said: "There are obviously some very tough decisions to be made in putting this squad together for the Europa League.

Celtic take on Aberdeen in a midweek Scottish Premiership showdown on Wednesday at Celtic Park, aiming to kick off their campaign with four straight league victories.
Celtic come into this game in flawless domestic shape, occupying the summit of the Scottish Premiership after winning each of their first three league matches. Their latest outing saw them edge past Falkirk with a gritty 2-1 win. Morale is sky-high after earlier commanding 4-0 and 5-1 domestic successes, even though they hit a rough patch in European action. Importantly, the Hoops boast a spotless home record at Celtic Park this term, having yet to drop points on their own turf.
Celtic receive a major lift before this midweek Scottish Premiership fixture as skipper Callum McGregor rejoins the group after shaking off a recent illness.
That said, the ***** le-holders are coping with an expanding injury roll, especially among attackers and defenders. Striker Kasper Høgh and left-back Kieran Tierney are both completely out for this match after picking up abductor problems that kept them off the training pitch.
Callum Osmand also faces multiple weeks away because of an ankle knock. Long-term casualties Alistair Johnston, Jota, and Reo Hatate stay sidelined as they work through their rehabilitation programs.

Assistant manager Steve Parkin says he understands Chris Wilder's frustrations over the possibility of losing Callum O'Hare to Wrexham after the Sheffield United boss accused the Welsh side of a "blanket bombing" approach to the transfer window.
Speaking ahead of the Blades' Championship contest with Bolton Wanderers at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night (19:45 BST), United boss Wilder confirmed the Red Dragons had submitted a bid for attacking midfielder O'Hare.
During the press briefing, Wilder also said Wrexham were "in for half the division".
And while accepting Wilder's frustrations, Wrexham ****** istant Parkin was keen to stressed his side's transfer dealings are far more methodical than Wilder suggested.
"I did read that (Wilder's comments). Me and Chris go a long way back and he's no different to any other manager," said Parkin.

A driver born with no arms says he is determined to make motorsport history by competing at the highest levels - using only his feet.
Callum Smith from Warwickshire learned to drive just two years ago but has now joined Team Brit, a competitive team of disabled racing drivers.
The team has adapted a BMW 1 Series specifically for the driver, who has been passionate about motorsports since childhood.
"My motto in life has always been improvise, adapt and overcome," he said.
His passion was spotted by the all-disabled team which signed him as a rookie driver after a successful test day at Silverstone.

The Cardiff game probably left Sheffield United fans slightly puzzled about what to expect in the coming weeks. Boss Chris Wilder himself admitted he was left scratching his head at such an open and breathless game.
However, some encouragement emerged in the form of a first Championship goal of the new season.
It comes after a measly combined total of just four shots on target from the opening two league games. Questions loomed about where the goals would come from this season.
Some answers were found at Cardiff City Stadium.
Tom Cannon's successful penalty was his second goal in two games, having netted in the EFL Cup in midweek. A goal from open play was even more encouraging, with Callum O'Hare looking like one of Sheffield United's bigger attacking threats.

Today, August 30, Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox is celebrating his 83rd birthday.
The Celtic legend scored 277 goals in 589 games for Celtic, and up until recently he was the club's most decorated player with 25 major honours. He has only recently been surpassed by Callum McGregor (26) and James Forrest (28).
Bobby's impressive roll of honour reads as 11 League ***** les, eight Scottish Cups, five League Cups and, of course, the European Cup when he was part of the legendary Celtic side which defeated Inter Milan in Lisbon's Estadio Nacional on May 25, 1967 to become the Kings of Europe.
And as the Celtic Family wishes Bobby a very happy birthday, we take a brief look at the incredible career of a legendary figure in Celtic's long and illustrious history…
Born in Saltcoats, Bobby was the farthest-flung of the Lisbon Lions – hence the ***** le of his autobiography – Thirty Miles from Paradise. Bobby, of course, has remained a Saltcoats Bhoy to this day. In his book, Bobby describes an almost idyllic childhood beside the sea and, apart from his six-month spell with Houston Hurricane in 1978, he has stayed in the town his entire life. 'I had a great upbringing,' he later told the Celtic View. 'We weren't the richest family in the world, but I didn't want for much, although all I really wanted was a ball at my feet anyway.'

The Celtic manager will be looking for a positive reaction from the players who will still be hurting having had their Champions League dream torn from them. They will know that the Celtic supporters who travelled to Linz were angry at the end and that was the same emotion for the rest of us watching on Amazon Prime.
Martin O'Neill has made three changes to his starting XI for today's match against Falkirk with Liam Scales replacing Auston Trusty, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain coming in for the Celtic captain Callum McGregor, who is suffering from a sickness bug while Haissem Hassan gets his first start for Celtic with Yang and Camilo Duran the other two forwards.
Duran will play as the striker with Kasper Hogh out with a knock picked up in Austria.
On the bench for Celtic this afternoon are Doohan, Trusty, McCowan, Tounekti, Osmand, Kenny, Murray, Forrest and Kennedy.

Birmingham City beat Wrexham 2-1 at the Racecourse Ground, with centre-back Phil Neumann scoring twice to secure all three points.
Neumann opened the scoring from close range in the 13th minute before Callum Doyle levelled for Wrexham shortly after half-time. The hosts had started to build momentum at that stage, but Birmingham responded quickly and Neumann struck again in the 63rd minute, heading home August Priske's cross.
Wrexham pushed for another equaliser late on and Kieffer Moore forced James Beadle into a save, while Sam Smith also missed from close range. Birmingham, though, managed the final stages well enough to protect their lead and see out the win.
Birmingham made the brighter start and threatened from a series of early set-pieces. Their pressure paid off in the 13th minute when Alex Cochrane delivered from the left and Neumann arrived inside the six-yard box to head past Anthony Patterson.
Wrexham gradually worked their way into the game. Moore tested Beadle with a header before Danny Imray forced another save from the Birmingham goalkeeper, but the visitors reached half-time with their one-goal advantage intact.

Craven Cottage stages a first-ever competitive meeting between Fulham and AFC Wimbledon on Thursday, with a place in the Carabao Cup third round at stake.
Fulham enter off the back of a narrow 2-3 defeat to Chelsea on the Premier League's opening weekend, Alvaro Arbeloa's first game in charge, while Wimbledon have gone six matches without a win across all competitions and are yet to score in League One this season.
Wimbledon reached this stage only after Callum Maycock's dramatic 97th-minute equaliser forced a penalty shootout against Newport County, which the Dons went on to win. Fulham, whose 146-year history has never produced a major trophy, reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals last season and will see this competition as a realistic route to silverware. Steven Sessegnon, who began his career at Fulham before moving on, could line up for Wimbledon against his former club.
Date: Thursday, 27 August 2026Kick-off: 20:00 BSTVenue: Craven Cottage
Captain Tom Cairney remains sidelined with a knee injury and is not expected back until later in the autumn. Joachim Andersen is available again having served the final match of a three-game suspension against Chelsea, though Arbeloa may still use the tie to rest him. Several substitutes from the Chelsea game, including Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Muniz, Harrison Reed and Shea Charles, are pushing for starts.

In the aftermath of the capitulation in Linz, Callum McGregor has admitted he and his teammates deserved to exit the Champions League at the playoff stage yet again. The Celtic skipper didn't hold back on his post match ***** ysis, as he admitted that the massive collapse was down to no-one else but himself and his fellow teammates.
Speaking to Prime the Celtic skipper was brutally honest in his ***** sment as he said: "We got what we deserved. We were passive all night. We actually looked scared to go and win the game. When you are 3-0 up in the tie it's psychological."

Celtic captain Callum McGregor accepted there were no excuses for the players after their incredible Champions League play-off collapse.
McGregor put his team 4-0 up on aggregate against LASK when he struck from 18 yards in the 21st minute in Austria but they went on to lose 5-1 on the night after extra time.
Defeat sends Celtic into the Europa League and delivers a damaging financial blow that will cost the club at least £20million.
"We got what we deserved," McGregor told Amazon Prime. "I thought we were so passive. All night. We actually looked scared to go and win the game, and when you are 3-0 up it's psychological.
"To be honest I didn't think we were that good in the first leg either. We scored at good times and kind of got away with it. You go 3-0 and you think you've got a real chance but when you play like that you can't have any excuse whatsoever.

An embarrassing Champions League exit Tuesday for Celtic in the qualifying playoffs somehow was even worse than last year.
Meltdown. Implosion. Humiliation.
Celtic led 4-0 on aggregate score Tuesday after a half hour of the second leg in Austria, yet five unanswered goals by LASK — the fifth and decisive one coming in extra time of a 5-1 win — still felt like coach Martin O'Neill's team got off lightly with a 5-4 loss on aggregate score.
It is now two straight years the Scottish **** le holder has wasted clear chances to play on the lucrative biggest stage of European club soccer by losing in late-August to an unheralded team advancing for the very first time.
"We were far too passive. We don't have any excuses," said Callum McGregor, the Celtic captain whose 21st-minute goal Tuesday had seemed likely to secure the Champions League entry.

Dua Lipa has revealed the two pieces of advice she and Callum Turner followed on their wedding day.
The British pop star tied the knot with the Masters of the Air actor in Palermo, Sicily in early June, several days after getting legally married in a small civil ceremony at London's Marylebone Town Hall.
Opening up about their weddings in a cover interview with Vogue Italia, Lipa revealed the advice they decided to follow to maximise their enjoyment of the celebrations.
"The wedding day was magical," she gushed. "We received so much advice, but we decided to follow just two pieces of it: to experience the day as if we were guests ourselves and to constantly seek each other out in the crowd, never losing sight of one another. That way, we really have so many memories together."
Lipa and Turner began dating in 2024, and she confirmed their engagement in July 2025.
Elsewhere in the interview, the New Rules singer reflected on how finding love has changed her approach to songwriting.

West Bromwich maintained their perfect start to the Championship season with a convincing 3-1 victory over Burnley at The Hawthorns.
The visitors struck first after just eight minutes when Callum Styles inadvertently turned a Burnley cross into his own net following a quick break.
West Brom responded impressively, drawing level before the half-hour mark. Jimmy-Jay Morgan picked out Harry Whitwell, who calmly finished to register his first league goal at The Hawthorns.
The visitors threatened to restore their advantage before the interval, with Armando Broja hitting the post, but the Baggies came out strongly after the break.
They completed the turnaround just two minutes into the second half when Isaac Price found the net with a superb finish after Morgan's involvement once again helped create the opening.

Connah's Quay Nomads enjoyed their third successive win in Cymru Premier by beating new boys Ammanford in Saturday's lunchtime kick off.
John Disney's side started the league campaign with a home defeat by Caernarfon, but added a success at the Recreation Ground to wins against Holywell and Trefelin.
In the solitary Saturday fixture, Callum West side-footed the visitors into the lead from the penalty spot in the 44th minute after Hussein Mehasseb was brought down by Babucar Sauane.
Harry Franklin was denied by the bar and Iwan Murray's long-range effort was acrobatically tipped over by Luke Martin as the Nomads pushed for a second.
They kept pushing and eventually sealed the win on 81 minutes when Franklin beat Martin to a long ball, ***** ed past the goalkeeper and tapped in.

This time last year we were facing a daunting, and gruelling trip to Kazakhstan with our Champions League aspirations very much on the line.
Having flopped at home against minnows Kairat Almaty, we made the long journey, and were ultimately made to pay as the Kazakh side beat us on spot kicks to kill off our Champions League aspirations, and confine us to the Europa League.
The only 'new' additions to Brendan Rodgers pool of players for those two games were the returning Kieran Tierney (who had signed a pre-contract months earlier) with Shin Yamada, loan signing Jahmai Simpson Pusey, and Callum Osmand the other new recruits, but were very much seen as bench players at the most.

That failure to add any real quality to our side was the biggest factor for our failure not just in Europe, but the following few months to follow. Something that resulted in Brendan Rodgers deciding enough was enough, which culminated in the Irishman handing in his notice.

Guernsey FC maintained their unbeaten start to their Southern Combination Premier Division season as they twice came from a goal down to draw 2-2 at Crawley Down Gatwick.
The hosts took a seventh-minute lead when Will Harley curled past Seb Sheppard after some neat passing following a counter-attack down the right.
James Laws went close to doubling the lead 25 minutes later before Will Fazakerley and Callum Le Lacheur had chances for the Green Lions as they went into the break a goal down.
But the visitors levelled six minutes after the break as Sam Murray nodded on Charlton Gauvain's cross from the right and Jamie Dodd was able to bundle the ball home at the far post.
The hosts were back in front just four minutes later as Archie Drillot's weak back-pass was picked up by Harley and substitute Callum Kilkenny finished well moments after coming on.
