Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the cybersecurity landscape, and CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) believes the threat is no longer theoretical. CEO George Kurtz recently described the situation as the "genie's out of the bottle," underscoring that AI capabilities are now widely available and can be exploited by attackers. CrowdStrike's 2026 Global Threat Report found that AI-enabled adversary activity surged 89% year-over-year, while the company has also observed attacks moving at machine speed.
Kurtz said AI agents should be secured like privileged users, with strict permissions, temporary credentials, and emergency shutdown capabilities, while humans retain control over critical decisions. He also urged AI companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI to work more closely with cybersecurity firms and independent evaluators to address emerging AI-related threats.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) argued Wednesday that House GOP leaders sent the lower chamber home early because they found other Republicans in support of his push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
“The fact that they didn’t vote on it tells me that they did a whip check, and they probably found that there were some other Republicans, besides me, that were going to vote for this, or at least didn’t want to be on the record supporting Hegseth,” he told host Kaitlan Collins on CNN’s “The Source.”
The outgoing Kentucky libertarian, a frequent critic of President Trump, introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Tuesday.
Massie accused Hegseth of violating his “oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” citing his handling of the Iran war and operations to kill alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.
The GOP lawmaker, who lost his primary in May to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, also made his impeachment resolution privileged.

Actor Sebastian Stan refuses to go down the beaten path in his career. Despite global fame with the "Winter Soldier" franchise, the actor actively seeks out challenging roles that push him out of his comfort zone.
In an interview with Vulture, Stan reflected on his career evolution. He explained that he prefers playing the tough roles and not the conventional lead-man ones.
The 44-year-old admitted that boundary-pushing roles have a special appeal. "I'm drawn to a situation that provokes failure," Stan said, explaining his criteria for choosing roles.
Stan said that he was tied to privileged or villainous characters during his early years. After being cast in the Marvel universe, he felt that his stereotyping had dried up challenging roles for him in Hollywood.
However, in recent times, Stan has taken control over his career and starred in character-driven roles. He earned special acclaim for starring in "A Different Man", which won a Golden Globe for the role. Stan played Donald Trump in "The Apprentice".

Paris Jackson didn't get to enjoy her father Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. The 28-year-old star, the daughter of the late King of Pop and his second wife, Debbie Rowe, has revealed that she and her siblings, Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24, never got the chance to enjoy the California property's features, such as the private amusement park, zoo, and movie theater.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Paris explained: "I didn't grow up there. "It was only the first few years of my life that I was there." In fact, Paris revealed that she and her siblings were told that Neverland's "attractions" were only to be enjoyed by underprivileged and sick children.

The Princess of Wales is always perfectly poised at royal events, the epitome of grace and composure.
But there was a time when her composure momentarily slipped at a charity event - and resulted in one of our favourite videos of the future queen.
The event took place back in December 2014, when Kate was still the **** ss of Cambridge. She and Prince William travelled for a three-day official visit to the United States, centered primarily in New York City.
One of her engagements saw Kate visit the Northside Center for Child Development where she joined a group of women to help wrap Christmas presents for underprivileged children.
The royal was warmly greeted upon her arrival and, after taking her seat in front at the wrapping station, turned to chat to some of the other ladies in the room.

King Charles and Queen Camilla attended a garden party marking the 125th anniversary of a charity organization, where the monarch met Pakistan's national cricket team while the Queen mingled with dancers. The outing also marked their first public appearance since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK last month.
King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the Victoria League for Commonwealth Friendship's 125th anniversary. At Clarence House, the monarch also met Pakistan's national cricket team. On the other hand, Queen Camilla conversed with dancers from the Royal Academy of Dance at the London headquarters.
There, she met professionals from various classes, including those aged 55 and over, those undergoing cancer treatments, and people from underprivileged backgrounds. During her visit, she also handed over the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award to Christopher Wheeldon, OBE.
Following their royal engagements, they then headed to the British Museum, where they were also joined by French President Emmanuel Macron and first lady Brigitte Macron. Moreover, U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his wife, Marie-France van Heel, were also present at the museum.
In this visit, they viewed the Bayeux Tapestry, which showcases the Norman conquest of England. The tapestry was loaned to the UK for the first time since its creation, and in exchange, the country promised to send some national treasures to France (via PEOPLE).

CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD) just posted the best quarter in its history, and the numbers back that up. Net new annual recurring revenue hit $333 million on August 26, accelerating to 51% growth and beating the high end of guidance by more than $45 million. Total revenue climbed 26% to $1.47 billion, a fifth straight quarter of accelerating growth. Buried in the same earnings call, though, was a guide for the current quarter that points to a much slower pace ahead.
The clearest story here is Falcon Flex, the bundled subscription model that lets customers consolidate security modules under one contract. Ending ARR tied to Flex reached $2.29 billion, up 101% year over year, and the company added more than 935 new Flex accounts in the quarter, over ten a day. Customers who converted from a standard subscription to Flex boosted spending by an average of 40%, and new logos signing directly onto Flex made up a record 34% of net new ARR. That bundling machine is now feeding a new category of demand.
Artificial Intelligence Detection and Response, built to police rogue AI agents, saw its ending ARR nearly triple versus the prior quarter, while identity products like Falcon Shield and privileged account protection grew more than 185% and more than 35 times year over year. Endpoint security, the original business, accelerated for a fourth straight quarter as customers locked down AI tools running on their machines. None of this came at the expense of profit. Non-GAAP operating income rose 46% to $372 million, a 25% margin, and free cash flow grew 33% to $377 million. Management raised its full-year net new ARR guidance by 1.15 thousand basis points from its initial outlook, to $1.35 billion to $1.36 billion.
Look past the headline print and the picture gets more complicated. CrowdStrike earned just $5 million in GAAP net income for the quarter, only its third straight quarter in the black on that basis, a reminder that the far larger non-GAAP profit figures still lean on add-backs like stock-based compensation. The company's own outlook for the next quarter cools things off too. Third quarter net new ARR is guided to grow 29% to 31% year over year, roughly half the 51% pace just posted, and revenue growth is guided to slow to 23% to 24% from the 26% delivered in the second quarter. Some of that is routine caution, but it still means the acceleration does not carry forward unchanged.

The Princess of Wales's popularity is at an all-time high, as she almost single-handedly provides the sparkle the Royal Family so desperately needs.
Blessed with stunning good looks and the ability to be elegant, whether in a ball gown or rolling up her sleeves to play table tennis with a group of underprivileged youngsters, Kate has cemented her place at the top table.
In recent years, she has enjoyed unrivalled popularity with the public both here and overseas. But her cancer diagnosis and the cruel way she was forced to silence the conspiracy theorists and online trolls about being unwell - and therefore out of the public eye - have simply served to prove that she's in a league of her own.

Left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker appears to be gearing up to sue conservative commentator Scott Jennings for defamation.
Jennings, a CNN contributor, went viral last week after posting a heavily edited, intentionally misleading video of what looked like Piker expressing extreme hostility towards Black voters and calling for lynchings. With the full context, it is obvious that Piker was being sarcastic.
"Black voters have been voting against the socialists, only to be ruled in many cases by privileged white commies," Jennings claimed, using Black identity as a bludgeon against the Democratic left. "Did you ever notice, by the way, how violent these people are? … Now [Abdul] El-Sayed's best friend is out there calling for Black voters to be lynched. Beneath all the smiles and dancing videos, there's nothing but hate and violence in the heart of these Communists."
As Snopes reported, Jennings lied when he claimed that Piker wanted to bringing back lynchings, as "Piker's remarks on lynchings were sarcastic reactions to a user's chat comment and opinions expressed by someone else in a separate video."
Jennings's video was widely panned, with many calling for Piker to sue. The streamer called Jennings's video "the worst instance of defamation" he'd seen. On Sunday, Piker confirmed that his team is preparing a defamation lawsuit, saying it seemed "unavoidable," and that it might include Fox News.

The Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) released a memo Monday extending the president's "executive privilege" to claim confidentiality over White House communications with private advisers.
The memo says the White House can withhold "communications with private advisers so long as the communications relate to official presidential decisionmaking, involve or reflect communications with the President or his direct advisers."
The new policy would frustrate congressional Democrats' attempts to investigate the White House if they win back the House in the 2026 midterm elections, which they are favored to do.
The memo also alarmed government watchdog and transparency groups.
"This is the latest attempt by this administration to reduce transparency," Scott Amey, general counsel for the Project on Government Oversight (POGO), says. "The executive branch has cut resources that ensure public access to government information and taken down information from public websites. It has claimed that the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional. And now it claims that presidential communications with people outside the government can be shielded as privileged. It's hard not to read this as anything other than an attempt to gain cover if Congress conducts oversight hearings about the activities and decisions that have been made in the past two years."

DiJonai Carrington of the Chicago Sky traded posts on social media with former NFL player and current commentator Emmanuel Acho on Monday after she was ejected from Saturday's WNBA game against the Indiana Fever.
Carrington committed a hard foul against Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, and after a review, was ******* sed with a Flagrant 2 and ejected from the game. Shortly after she was off the court, a post that read "WHITE PRIVILEGE indianafever" was sent out from one of her social media accounts.
Acho offered his take on the situation on his podcast Speakeasy on Sunday night: "If we are paying attention to what DiJonai Carrington did to Sophie Cunningham, it was not a race-based decision, and to call that a white-privileged-based foul is to completely undermine the term of white privilege and also completely ignore the rules in basketball."
While Acho was one of many commentators to weigh in on Carrington's foul, his comments stand out because they prompted a response from Carrington herself.
"I've never once claimed that the ******* sment of the foul was white privilege (that was your ******* umption)," Carrington posted in response to Acho. "Try exercising your critical thinking skills, I know you studied psych. Furthermore, I'm the LAST thing from ignorant or asinine when it comes to speaking on 'white privilege,' do ya research on that one. I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add, to educate myself on this exact subject. I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon knowing the historical and social weight it holds without having the proper evidence to substantiate it."

Ashleigh Gardner's position as Australia's vice-captain has come under renewed scrutiny after her estranged wife, Monica Wright, called for the star all-rounder to be removed from the leadership role and questioned Cricket Australia's response to allegations surrounding their marriage.
In an exclusive interview with Code Sports, Wright criticised the governing body's silence after she publicly accused Gardner of having an affair with Australia teammate Georgia Voll.
Wright argued that Gardner's position of leadership should carry additional responsibility, particularly given her allegation of a power imbalance between Gardner and Voll.
"I think if you're privileged enough to represent your country and be seen as a role model, there's a responsibility to hold yourself to a high moral standard," Wright told Code Sports.
She also questioned why Cricket Australia had not publicly addressed the matter.
"What I can't understand is why Cricket Australia hasn't said anything publicly," she said.
Wright's comments come after she publicly identified Voll in an Instagram post in July, writing: "This is who my wife cheated on me with." Gardner and Wright have since separated and removed photographs of each other from their social media accounts.
Neither Gardner nor Voll has publicly responded to Wright's allegations. Cricket Australia has also not publicly commented on the specific allegations.
Wright believes the allegations should have consequences for Gardner's position within Australian cricket.
"You can't have an affair with a junior member of staff, especially when there's a clear power imbalance, and then remain in a position of leadership," she told Code Sports. "Captains are expected to set the standard, and that kind of conduct falls well short of it."
Wright's comments put the focus not only on Gardner's personal situation but also on how Cricket Australia handles relationships within its professional environment.
Code Sports reported that Cricket Australia has maintained that it regards the situation as a private matter while enforcing its workplace policies.
The controversy has not, however, affected Gardner's standing with the Sydney Sixers, whom she captains in the Women's Big Bash League.
Sixers general manager Rachael Haynes said the club remained supportive of Gardner and confirmed that it intended to recommend that she continue as captain.
"She's a well-respected player within our program, an important player for us," Haynes said.
Asked directly whether Gardner would remain Sixers captain, Haynes replied: "Absolutely."
Gardner made history last year when she succeeded Ellyse Perry as Sixers captain, becoming the first Indigenous cricketer to captain a Big Bash side.
The controversy comes at a significant point in Gardner's international career. She is Australia's vice-captain to Sophie Molineux and was part of the Australian side that recently defeated England in the T20 World Cup final at L

The Wilfs have owned the Vikings for 21 years. They don't plan to end their tenure any time soon.
Earlier this year, local speculation emerged that the Wilfs could sell based on a massive drop in spending from 2025 to 2026. The team quickly got the word out that it's not, and won't be, for sale.
"The business side of it is not what got us into the Minnesota Vikings," co-owner Mark Wilf told reporters on Thursday. "We love football. We're honored and privileged to be stewards of an incredible franchise, and our ultimate goal is to bring championships to the fans of the Minnesota Vikings, who really deserve it. And that's what we're about, and that's the excitement, and we're long term, we're a family that is going to hopefully be part of the Minnesota Vikings for a very, very long time."
Wilf also said that the Vikings "aren't focused on" the possibility of selling a piece of the team to any of the approved private-equity funds.
The Wilfs have successfully built a new stadium, one that has hosted a Super Bowl. By all indications, the Vikings continue to make plenty of money, each and every year.

We're honored and privileged to be stewards of an incredible franchise, and our ultimate goal is to bring championships to the fans of the Minnesota Vikings, who really deserve it. And that's what we're about, and that's the excitement, and we're long term, we're a family that is going to hopefully be part of the Minnesota Vikings for a very, very long time."
Wilf also said that the Vikings "aren't focused on" the possibility of selling a piece of the team to any of the approved private-equity funds.
The Wilfs have successfully built a new stadium, one that has hosted a Super Bowl. By all indications, the Vikings continue to make plenty of money, each and every year.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Oprah Winfrey says she will close the school for underprivileged girls she set up in South Africa two decades ago at the end of next year.
Winfrey opened the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in 2007 after being inspired by conversations with former South African President Nelson Mandela about the transformative power of educating girls. He was among the guests at the school's opening ceremony.
Winfrey's charitable foundation ran and funded the school, but it was always part of the agreement that the academy campus near Johannesburg be ultimately handed over to the provincial education department, the academy said.
"The dream was never simply to build a school," Winfrey said in a statement issued by the academy on Wednesday. "It was to invest in the limitless potential of young women. That mission doesn't end with one campus. It continues in every girl whose future can be transformed through education."
The academy said Winfrey's commitment to educating South African girls would continue through an expanded national scholarship program supporting academically talented girls at leading schools across the country.

UFC star Jon Jones posted a video of him killing a pig in 2021 and that led allegedly to a long message from Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton.
Jones was living life after vacating his UFC light heavyweight ***** le at the time — and bulking up to eventually move to heavyweight — when he went on a helicopter ride to shoot at pigs alongside former rangers. Hamilton, who had just won just 7th world championship in Formula 1 months prior, apparently didn't like it.
"I went hunting years ago with bunch of army rangers, and we ended up hunting pigs from a helicopter from using AR-15s," Jones said in an interview with ALF Global. "I was so proud of myself 'cause I killed one of the pigs from the helicopter. My pig was donated to an underprivileged family in the community."
"But Lewis saw me shoot the pig from a helicopter," he continued. "He wrote me a long message saying that I was a coward, and that he thought that I was better than that. He said that the traditional way of killing animals should be with a spear or a bow and arrow. And he was saying like, only a coward would shoot an animal from an helicopter, to give the animal a chance to fight you back, at least."
Jonny Meat on Instagram: "One shot, one kill, lots of bacon. Was an honor hunting with medal of honor recipient @t.payne75 & jeff_cotto mattcronrath operational_defense_institute"

Jennifer Garner got refreshingly candid about her decades in the public eye, reflecting on her relationship with the paparazzi at the height of her marriage with ex Ben Affleck and the "Stockholm syndrome thing" she has with one longstanding photographer.
"It was totally ludicrous," Garner told Evan Ross Katz on Netflix's "Shut Up Evan!" podcast Tuesday. The actress and producer, who sat with the talk series in promotion of Peacock's "The Five Star Weekend," admitted that she knows complaining about fame is a privileged problem to have — "It felt like poor little me, you know, my poor little kids who have everything in the world." But she emphasized that some situations saw the paparazzi being "a danger to everyone around us."
"If I went through a yellow light, 15 cars would go through the red behind me. They would drive up onto people's lawns, even on a hillside," she recounted. Garner was even asked to remove their children from the local kids' soccer league because too many photographers would follow her and her family to the games.
"It wasn't just about us; it was just an industry that had gotten out of control," Garner said.
"So, as much as I recognize that, you know, we are privileged and lucky and grateful for all that that has afforded us and all that that's made available, at the same time, it just got silly, and kids were at the center of it," she continued. "I mean, I lived on the street with a lot of much more famous and successful people than I, but they followed me because I had the kids. They wouldn't follow Ben. They wouldn't follow Matt Damon. They wouldn't. They were like, 'There's the chick with the kids.' That's when you know it's just it's not right."

Former Red Bull Formula 1 mechanic Calum Nicholas has shared that replica helmets were stolen from the Red Bull STEMx van following the British Grand Prix.
Nicholas has publicly called out the thieves who stole the replica helmets from the STEMx educational van during the race weekend at Silverstone.
The theft took place after a dramatic British Grand Prix, which saw Charles Leclerc claim the victory ahead of Mercedes' George Russell in second and his Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton in third.
The Red Bull STEMx initiative operates a bespoke mobile classroom that travels to schools across the United Kingdom. Its primary goal is to introduce children from underprivileged backgrounds to the engineering, physics, mathematics, and mechanics involved in Formula 1. The stolen replica helmets were custom-made for this purpose.
Taking to social media on Monday, Nicholas delivered a direct message to the thieves.

A bird of prey which stops pigeons from interrupting play at Wimbledon treats the All England Club as "his playground", according to his handler.
Rufus, a Harris's hawk raised in Brigstock, Northamptonshire, has been responsible for keeping the courts pest-free for 18 years.
His handler Donna Davis said he is often recognised by tennis fans during the Championships, adding: "Everybody wants to stop and see Rufus, and it's so lovely.
"I feel very privileged to be here and fly my beautiful bird, and he comes back."
The unusual job came about after Davis spotted pigeons interrupting play during the 1999 Wimbledon final between Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi.

Liverpool have already been active in the transfer window with deals for Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz already wrapped up.
A move for another midfielder is expected with names like Adam Wharton and Alex Scott being heavily linked.
However, an attacking midfielder could also be on their radar. According to Ideal Granada, Liverpool have joined the race for UD Almeria star Sergio Arribas.
The report said: "The English club has set its sights on the Madrid-born attacker after his outstanding season with the Almería side, a campaign that has established him as one of the most sought-after players in the Segunda División and one of the best opportunities on the market, with 26 goals and seven **** ists in 46 appearances this season."
However, the report claims that Real Madrid will hold a 'significant' role in any negotiations for Arribas: "Real Madrid will also play a significant role in any negotiations. The club retained 50% of Arribas' economic rights when he transferred to Almería in the summer of 2023, convinced of the academy graduate's potential and the possibility of obtaining a substantial profit from a future sale. This clause gives Real Madrid a privileged position in any transfer that may occur during this window."

Debutant Isaac del Toro claimed victory on stage two of the Tour de France as Jonas Vingegaard retained the overall leader's yellow jersey.
Mexico's Del Toro, 22, crossed the line just ahead of his UAE Team Emirates-XRG colleague Tadej Pogacar, after accelerating on the short, steep climb to the finish at Montjuic, Spain.
Remco Evenepoel finished third, with Vingegaard fourth in the same time as the leading duo at the end of a hilly 168.5km route from Tarragona to Barcelona.
"It means really everything. I said before I'm a very privileged guy - you can not believe how much we work as a team to be here," said Del Toro.
"This is the work of everybody - my family, my friends growing up. I cannot believe I just did this attempt, it's just insane. Also to appreciate being in the same team as Tadej, the best in the world, it's really [the] full emotions.

Happy Fourth of July!
I wonder — how many Americans will be bothered or offended by that greeting today? And how many more Independence Days will we celebrate as a country? We have made it to 250, but it's hard to imagine another hundred. It is much easier to imagine 20 or less.
A strong argument can be made that the left — via majority control of the media, academia, entertainment, science and medicine — is slowly but surely winning the messaging war. In fact, you might say they are crushing it.
Just look at the trend of stories online citing the fact that millions of Americans have little or no interest in celebrating the 250th anniversary of our nation. Or look at the rise of so-called "democratic socialist" candidates, who look upon the country created by our Founding Fathers as something that needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the inside. Don't forget about the alarming results of a recent poll showing that more than half of Americans under age 30 said believe "democracy isn't essential to the country's identity."
It is little wonder. Many of those young Americans grew up believing, after years of being taught in school, that our Founding Fathers were White supremacists and evil slave-owners from the privileged class, whose vision, courage and sacrifice must now be reexamined, rewritten and largely swept into the dustbin of history.

Prince George's godfather has revealed how his new school has "changed for the better" in recent years.
Speaking on **** O!'s A Right Royal Podcast, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton discussed all the ways that Eton College helps its students to excel.
Jamie, who attended Eton himself, said: "It's probably changed a lot since I went. Actually, it certainly has. And in many ways, it's changed for the better.
"My son was there too, so I've seen it quite recently. You're very, very privileged to go there and there are all sorts of amazing things you can do."
He continued: "The Drawing School, for instance, at Eton, is just sensational. That's the name of the art department, as it were.

ESPN senior reporter Shams Charania is no stranger to the potential fallout from a failed trade pursuit, having witnessed it from a privileged position numerous times in his role as one of the league's most prominent news-breaking journalists. And even when it comes to the Boston Celtics and star forward Jaylen Brown, Charania has been close to the action in the past. In fact, that informed recent comments from the ESPN contributor explicitly when discussing the Celtics side of their recent, failed pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo with the Milwaukee Bucks.
"The Celtics and Jaylen Brown will have hard conversations moving forward about the fallout from a trade that didn't happen," said Charania on a recent episode of "Get Up". "The second time in four years Jaylen Brown was offered in a trade for another player. Back in 2022, it was for Kevin Durant, a proposed package for KD," he continued. "Now, for Giannis. The difference between 2022 and right now is Jaylen Brown is coming off of a year where he was an MVP finalist. Two years ago he was finals MVP ... one of the best players in the NBA."
"The deal that the Celtics offered Miami was Jaylen Brown and two unprotected first round picks," said Charania. "That was a deal that the Celtics believed was an aggressive pursuit. They went after Giannis at the deadline, obviously no deal came to fruition."
"But the Celtics, my understanding is that they were unwilling to put in young players like Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman or adding additional first round picks or pick swaps," continued the ESPN reporter. "The Bucks wanted some combination of maybe a young player or two, maybe additional draft capital."
"The Celtics were not willing to do that. You put your bid in, you get involved in this; I've had a few people tell me last night, you've got to get a deal done if you're the Celtics. When you put a player like Jaylen Brown on the table, on the line in these circumstances, at minimum there will be fallout from this ... Brown is extension-eligible with the Celtics in July, so a lot of answers if he's still on the roster will also be identified then."

A common misconception about Trinny Woodall is that she's not an altogether serious person. This despite the fact that revenue at her beauty and skincare business, Trinny London, which sells in 180 countries, was £70m in 2025, up 25 per cent on the previous year, giving it a market value of around £200m.
Whether this is because she's seen as posh, privileged or because she makes her money in women's beauty, or because she first came to the public's attention with a weekly style column co-starring her close buddy, Susannah Constantine (a 1980s fixture on Tatler's society pages) is a moot point. It all seemed to come so easily.
Is it serious to insist, as she does, on conducting an in-depth interview in a corner of her brand's store on the King's Road? "Won't the customers milling around the shop make her inhibited?" I protested to her publicist beforehand, who ***** ed an eyebrow at the suggestion. "Trinny doesn't really do inhibited."
Sure enough, in she sweeps, rangy and slouchily elegant, in a voluminous grey trouser suit from the Australian label St Agni, featuring a swooping collar that doubles as a scarf. "I love versatility" she says, flinging hair and the scarf-collar hither and thither. She also loves Matthieu Blazy, the new creative director at Chanel, but no way is she spending £5,000 on one of his cropped blazers. She is not wealthy, she stresses with fairly strong expletives. "Every single penny goes back into this business. I don't even own my house." Instead of buying the new Chanel jacket, she chopped up one of her own to get the look.
Suddenly we're back at that column, launched in 1996 in this very newspaper, which turned Trinny and Susannah into the nation's style agony aunts. A BBC Two show called What Not to Wear soon followed. Its bracing advice proved so successful, it moved to BBC One before ITV beckoned. Over several years the pair sold three million books.

The world of celebrity real estate is a heady place, one that is filled with glittering megamansions, luxury developments, and buzz-worthy listings. But there is also a much darker side to this gleaming industry, one plagued by scandal, backlash, and a very hefty dose of uproar.
In recent years, there has been no shortage of headlines about these dramas, the most recent of which centers around first daughter Ivanka Trump's plans to build a $1.4 billion resort on an island in Albania, a project that has sparked furious protests among locals.
Together with her husband, Jared Kushner, Ivanka is aiming to transform Sazan, a former Soviet weapon's base, into a 10,000-room hotel, complete with every high-end amenity the richest and most privileged travelers could ever imagine.
But the plans have been met with outrage from the people of Albania, who have turned out in the thousands to protest the development in recent days.
However, the couple are far from the only high-profile figures to have found themselves at the center of a real estate scandal, instead joining the likes of pop star Katy Perry, rapper Kanye West, and developer Mohamed Hadid, all of whom have courted controversy with their own property moves in recent years.

Judge scolds Justice Department for 'profound investigative missteps' in Comey case
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department engaged in a “disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps” when it secured an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, a federal judge ruled Monday in directing prosecutors to produce to defense lawyers all grand jury materials from the case.
