In eighteenth and nineteenth century England, two phantom stalkers terrorized the public and captured the collective imagination to the point of violence. However, violent outcomes and legal consequences notwithstanding, neither phantom was ever anything more than a figment of people's imaginations. References Associated Press. 1938.

Day 1,606.Today, after one of its biggest ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv of the war, we hear about Ukraine's strikes on warehouses belonging to Russia's equivalent to Amazon, costing millions in damages and a cloud of smoke visible for 2000 kilometers. Then we consider the rumours that Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi may be next for the chop as protests continue over President Zelensky's removal of Defence Minister Fedorov. And, with our guest, we try to answer a key question: now President Trump has promised to share the blueprints for Patriot missiles with Kyiv, how long will it take for Ukraine to build its own version?Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Alex Nichol (Telegraph Journalist).With thanks for Michael Bohnert – Engineer at RAND.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

The day has finally come after much anticipation...Andy Burnham has become the prime minister today. There are still serious concerns about him, with no one really sure what this changing of the guard will mean in real terms. What will the direction of policy be? Who will be the top picks for the converted Cabinet jobs? Whose nose will be out of joint after being booted out? So many questions and still very few answers. Join Jeremy Kyle and his star guest line-up as they discuss the potential outcomes of Burnham's coronation as King of the North, South, East and West. Today's guests include: Assistant comment editor at the Telegraph, Poppy Coburn, former Conservative government minister, Steve Baker, Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin; Independent MP for Hull East, Karl Turner, and Talk's very own presenter Peter Cardwell, and reporter Samara Gill.

Day 1,603. Today, as Ukraine reels from the dismissal of its popular Defence Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, we examine the speculation surrounding his sudden departure, and reveal details of his new successor. We also bring you the latest on Ukraine's extraordinary campaign in the naval theatre, where more than 100 Russian vessels have been struck in little over a week, before our regular segment on the occupied territories. Finally, with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer – one of Ukraine's strongest international supporters – leaving office on Monday, we assess what his successor, Andy Burnham, will mean for the war.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dr Jade McGlynn (Centre for Statecraft and National Security, King's College London)Lilian Fawcett (Senior Producer on Ukraine: The Latest)Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Day 1,602.Following President Zelensky's seismic sacking of 35-year-old Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov – a popular, dynamic moderniser in the government – we bring you the reaction on the streets of Kyiv, where protests have broken out. Reports suggest it was irreconcilable differences with commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi that ultimately got Fedorov dismissed – but also that his personal political ambitions had Zelensky worried. Is this the president's biggest political miscalculation since his move against the country's anti-corruption bodies in 2025?

Starmer has said his formal goodbyes and is somewhere in Ukraine trying to remind the world and future employers that he has international reach and influence. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham prepares to take over the top job as prime minister on Monday. It seems he is doing this by stealth, with MPs not being able to take a good look at him in the Commons before the Summer recess. Jeremy also discusses Ann Widdecombe's murder and the crushing defeat England faced against Argentina last night. Joining Jeremy Kyle to discuss all this: Assistant comment editor at the Telegraph, Poppy Coburn, former government special advisor, James Price, Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin, Reform UK's mayoral candidate for London, Laila Cunningham, co-founder of Survivors Against Terror, Brendan Cox, and TalkSPORT reported Max Scott.

Wolfie has all the latest transfer news regarding Bergvall from Tottenham Hotspurs! Check Out The FFTV Merch Here: https://www.forestfantv.com/ In today's video, Wolfie breaks down the latest transfer bombshell from the Telegraph as Nottingham Forest ramp up their search for midfield reinforcements. Following the massive £116 million departure of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City, the Reds have officially launched their move for Tottenham Hotspur's highly-rated young midfielder, Lucas Bergvall. Forest tested the waters with an opening bid in the region of £38 million, but Spurs have swiftly rejected the offer as they hold out for a figure much closer to their £50 million valuation. Despite Roberto De Zerbi wanting to keep the 20-year-old Sweden international in North London, Bergvall has reportedly made it clear he wants out this summer in search of guaranteed first-team football, especially after Spurs brought in big-money signings Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali. But the story doesn't end there, as Wolfie explains why Forest are not backing down and are already preparing to go back in with an improved second bid. The Tricky Trees are reportedly ready to test Tottenham's resolve once again with a structured package worth around £45 million to get their man. While they are close to wrapping up a deal for free agent Xaver Schlager, Glasner Santo wants further quality in the engine room, and Bergvall fits the profile perfectly. Wolfie weighs up whether Forest should pay the premium to secure the Swedish sensation, how he would fit into the squad, and what this means for the rest of our summer transfer business.

You may find things of use in the Zone of contagion, but what you find may also corrupt and kill you. ZONE OF CONTAGION: In a single fortnight, the IOC has reinstated the Russian Olympic Committee, Netflix has expanded a Russian cartoon empire into more than a hundred countries, and the Venice Biennale has already spent a season laundering the pavilion of a state that bombs museums and conducts daily human safaris in Kherson Oblast. All while Russian glide bombs hit bus stops in Sumy and ballistic missiles land in Kyiv's residential districts. The West keeps searching for the "good Russia" — the culture, the art, the sport — as if finding it would redeem the state committing the crimes. This is weakness and naivety that will get us all killed. And it is based on extraordinary weakness that verges on complicity with evil. This fictitious good Russia is a convenient excuse for us to take no action to defeat the real Russia – the one attacking Ukraine and us. This blindness to Russia's evil intent must stop. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Silicon Bites Ep367 | 2026-07-14 | This episode: The Butcher's Bill. 1.4 million casualties, up to 450,000 dead — Russia is bleeding at World War Two scale for a war that isn't moving. Mobilization is now the Kremlin's only card. And it's a losing one. The numbers are now in, cross-confirmed by Washington think tanks, British intelligence, independent Russian journalists counting graves, and Ukraine's own commander-in-chief. Russia has suffered around 1.4 million battlefield casualties. As many as 450,000 of its soldiers are dead. No major power has lost anything like this in any war since 1945. And here is the part the Kremlin cannot fix – Russia is now losing men faster than it can recruit them. The war machine is consuming itself. Mobilization is coming — and mobilization will not save Putin. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Welcome back to the History of South Africa podcast with me your host, Des Latham. Episode 283 and it's 1885. And boy! Do we have a plethora of happenings to report. This is a year before the discovery of gold in the Transvaal, and global events are full of war, innovation, ethnic carnage, economic ups and downs, world firsts, medicine, and a dose of snot and trauma. The year 1885 opened with a strange and ironic trial by fire across England, balancing state-sanctioned progress against lawless destruction. In January, Irish rebels shattered the peace by detonating dynamite inside Westminster Hall and the Tower of London, raining literal fire and brimstone upon the ancient symbols of British authority. Amidst this chaotic violence, a far more orderly kind of incineration took place. That same year, the widowed painter Jeanette Pickersgill of London, a lady "well known in literary and scientific circles," became the first person to be legally cremated in England by the Cremation Society at Woking, Surrey. It was a classic Victorian paradox: while the state scrambled to suppress the lawless Irish bombs threatening to burn the old order down, it was simultaneously finalizing the bureaucratic regulations on how its most respectable citizens could legally burn themselves to ashes. In Southern Africa, 1885 saw two major geopolitical moves - In March the United Kingdom Established the Bechuanaland Protectorate - modern day Botswana. The second event was the incorporation of the tiny Boer republic of Stellaland into Bechuanaland. It was all part of a grand plan partly initiated by Transvaal president Paul Kruger. He had sailed to London in 1884 and met Secretary of State of the Colonies Lord Derby where the two struck a deal. Derby would drop the British claim to suzerainty over the Transvaal and reduce the Transvaal's debt, and reduce the powers of the British representative in Pretoria, in exchange Kruger agreed to decrease tariffs on imported goods and to drop claims to Stellaland and Goshen, thus opening up Cecil John Rhodes' important North Road. The agreement promised a rare season of peace and stability for the fractured region. Yet, its true survival rested entirely on whether both sides would honor the principles they had so recently espoused. They did not. Or to be more accurate, Pro-Boer and Pro-Imperial activists did not. Transvaal commandos rode into Zululand and into Bechuanaland, cocking a snook at their own leadership. On the British side, all manner of colonials looked askance at the Kruger/Derby Deal. One was missionary and humanitarian, Reverend John Mackenzie, a prominent member of the London Missionary Society. He had spent most of his adult life proselytizing amongst the Tswana people at Kuruman and Shoshong. Mackenzie was the Boer's arch enemy, denouncing incursions from the pulpit in South Africa, then back in the UK when he was on leave in 1882 and 1883. The Road to the North worried him because of how dominant the Transvaal Boers were in this region.As King Leopold of Belgium, the French, Bismarck of Germany and others met to finalise who got what in Africa, the British Foreign Office suddenly woke up. They were concerned about the Transvaal and German South West Africa. The British Government did a volte-farce, and sent a powerful army up the North Road. Four thousand regular troops, including the famous Inniskilling Dragoons cavalry regiment from Ulster in Northern Ireland, along with three observation balloons, all headed towards Stellaland from Kimberley.

Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and Preet Majithia recap all of the major action at the 2026 Prefontaine Classic. Streaks ended, young stars arrived, and the whole distance-and-sprint order got shaken up in a single afternoon in Eugene.Discussed in this episode:– Tate Taylor wins the men's 200m in 19.75 into a -0.9 headwind: The biggest surprise of the meet. Tebogo was the overwhelming favorite. We discuss why it's different from the Gout Gout 19.67. Taylor confirmed he will not be running USAs, and the World U20 Championships in Eugene in August is now the most anticipated junior sprint matchup of the year.– Nikki Hiltz wins the mile in 4:17.49: Ends Faith Kipyegon's five-year, 24-race unbeaten streak in 1500m/mile events on the track, dating to a loss to Sifan Hassan in Florence on June 10, 2021. – This was not peak Faith Kipyegon; Faith posted on Instagram after: “Since Shanghai, I've been dealing with a hamstring injury, but the last two weeks have been a step in the right direction.”– Cam Myers wins the Bowerman Mile in 3:46.06: First Australian to win the Bowerman Mile. Six days after running 3:28.00 in Paris, he sat in, took control at 600m, and closed the final 100 in 13.1 — the fastest of the race. Yared Nuguse second. Ethan Strand third in 3:46.97 after being well back at the bell.– Kyle's argument: please stop making athletes announce signings right before major races.– Josh Kerr, London Diamond League, July 18th: Ten days out from his world record attempt. He's been living in his altitude tent for twelve hours a day, writing for The Telegraph, and posting workouts that Kyle described as “giving serious hope”– Lilian Odira beats Keely Hodgkinson in the women's 800m, 1:56.19 to 1:56.73.– World record watch for London: Keely's situation two weeks out makes any WR talk look ambitious. She's still on the start list.– Melissa Jefferson-Wooden beats Sha'Carri Richardson in the women's 100m, 10.78 to 10.79: MJW extends her unbeaten 100m streak to ten races since the Paris Olympic final.– Sha'Carri's start looked better than it has at points this season. She's firmly back.– Kayinsola Ajayi wins the men's 100m in 9.84: Beats world champion Oblique Seville (9.89). Ties his PB and national record. A college kid finishing an NCAA season and immediately beating the world champion validates the performance.– Jamal Britt wins the men's 110m hurdles over Ja'kobe Tharp: Kyle's call from the preview episode vindicated.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Kyle Merber | @kylemerberProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

C dans l'air du 6 juillet 2026 - L'alerte des services américains... Poutine veut attaquer la Pologne La Pologne est-elle la prochaine cible de la Russie ? C'est en tout cas ce que soutiennent les renseignements américains qui ont multiplié les avertissements, selon The Telegraph.Il y a une semaine, les Pays-Bas alertaient déjà l'OTAN sur une possible intervention russe en Europe "dans l'année qui suivra la fin de la guerre" en Ukraine. Un scénario qui n'est pas sans rappeler les indications américaines en 2021 ; quelques mois plus tard, la Russie se lançait à l'assaut de l'Ukraine.À seulement quelques jours du sommet de l'OTAN à Ankara, ces annonces font l'effet d'une bombe sur fond de désengagement américain. Les budgets de défense des alliés devraient y être longuement évoqués, sous la pression de Donald Trump qui dénonce une "relation à sens unique". Son secrétaire d'État à la Défense, Pete Hegseth, a prévenu d'un "réexamen" de la présence militaire américaine en Europe.Mais les Polonais ne sont pas les seuls à s'inquiéter. Au sein des pays baltes, en première ligne face à la Russie, la guerre a déjà commencé. Brouillage de GPS, sabotage ou propagande prorusse, Baiba Braže, la ministre lettonne des Affaires étrangères, témoigne auprès de nos journalistes de la réalité de cette guerre hybride et abonde dans le sens de Donald Trump, pour enjoindre les Européens à se prendre en main en matière de défense.Au cœur des préoccupations : les accusations de discrimination envers les populations russophones, portées par Vladimir Poutine. Ces dernières sont particulièrement implantées dans les pays baltes (jusqu'à 38 % de la population en Lettonie). En 2022, pour justifier sa guerre, le président russe avait prétexté des "abus et un génocide" commis par le "régime de Kiev" à l'encontre de ces populations. La défense des droits des russophones, un motif déjà invoqué lors du lancement de l'offensive russe en Ossétie du Sud ou en Abkhazie, deux régions géorgiennes toujours occupées par la Russie."La permanence d'une menace russe sur notre continent, avec une guerre ouverte (...) reste ma préoccupation première en termes de préparation des armées", a déclaré récemment le chef d'état-major des armées, Fabien Mandon. Nous avons pu suivre les exercices de l'armée française, qui démontrent l'importance de la logistique dans les conflits de haute intensité. Dans ce contexte, 436 milliards d'euros vont être consacrés à la défense d'ici à 2030, en hausse de 36 milliards, suite à l'adoption par le Parlement d'une nouvelle version de la loi de programmation militaire.Faut-il prendre les avertissements américains et polonais au sérieux ? Malgré l'affaiblissement de la position de Vladimir Poutine, la Russie peut-elle attaquer l'OTAN ? Sommes-nous prêts à une guerre de haute intensité ? Le flanc Est de l'Europe sera-t-il la prochaine cible de la Russie ?Nos experts :- Général Jean-Paul PALOMÉROS - Ancien chef d'état-major et ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN- Pierre LEVY - Ancien ambassadeur en Russie et auteur de Au cœur de la Russie en guerre- Nicolas TENZER - Spécialiste en géostratégie, auteur de Notre guerre- Marie JÉGO - Journaliste pour Le Monde, ancienne correspondante à Moscou

After a restful fourth, true patriots Jon Kelly and Peter Hamby reunite to dig into the second-order effects of the Comcast split news. Who will buy NBCU? What will happen to the news division? Was this cleavage foreshadowed when Brian Roberts overpaid for NBA rights? Then they segue into Axel Springer's likely vision for The Telegraph in the U.S. market.

Robert Cwiklik, guest author, explains that the ultimate turning point came when Grant decided to back down from Sheridan's aggressive mission. As the news reached New Orleans, telegraph operators shouted, "Grant backs down," a moment celebrated by the White League as a definitive victory. Although Republicans attempted to pass new enforcement legislation, the effort was stalled by Democrats who took control of the House in March 1875. Grant later confessed to Black official John R. Lynch that his decision to refrain from sending more troops—particularly to help Mississippi Republicans—was motivated by political survival in the North. Specifically, he feared that aggressive military action in the South would alienate voters in Ohio's state elections, potentially ruining the political future of Rutherford B. Hayes. By prioritizing Northern electoral success over the protection of Southern Black citizens, Granteffectively signaled the end of the Civil War's "fruits of victory," allowing the South to re-establish white supremacy through segregation and terror for the next century.

Now that the Age of Andy is starting to take shape, will our panel stick their necks out and say they can support the King Half In The North? Is there enough going on here to re-energise Labour voters who were burnt out by the last lacklustre regime? Are Shabana Mahmood and Starmer himself trying to box in the new PM on immigration and defence? And is Burnham really going to be as Left as some think?  Plus: In a truly selfless sacrifice, our Seth Thévoz and James Ball go to the Telegraph's “Big Debate” on “How to make Brexit a success” (!). What wonders and horrors did they witness? And in a special American semiquincentennial Extra Bit, what was the first time our panel visited the USA?

Day 1,586.Today, as Vladimir Putin continues to make grossly exaggerated claims about Russia's gains on the battlefield, we assess the latest military progress of both sides, before looking at the long-delayed and controversial defence investment plan finally announced by the British. More money for drones, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence: but does it go far enough, and how close is London to hitting the 5% NATO target demanded by President Donald Trump? Then we hear what the citizens of Kyiv think about Ukraine being on the pathway to membership of the European Union, and report on a manhunt underway in southern France after a parcel bomb exploded at a residential building in neighbouring Monaco, injuring wealthy Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.James Crisp (Telegraph's Europe Editor). @JamesCrisp6 on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on XProducer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Gabby ColvinStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, reportedly visited Jeffrey Epstein twice in 2009 while he was serving his Florida jail sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution. The visits allegedly took place at the Palm Beach office Epstein used during his controversial work-release arrangement, which allowed him to leave jail for hours each day. Emails released by the Justice Department and reported by The Telegraph described Ferguson contacting Epstein during a Florida layover and arranging to meet him, including references to his driver picking her up and her bringing charity-related documents. The office was tied to the Florida Science Foundation, a company Epstein used as the basis for his work-release setup.The emails also showed Ferguson writing warmly to Epstein, calling him a “dear spectacular and special friend,” thanking him for looking after her, and continuing to discuss contact and assistance from him despite his conviction. The revelations added to earlier scrutiny over Epstein helping Ferguson financially, including the previously reported £15,000 payment she later called a “gigantic error of judgment.” The damaging part is the timing: Epstein was not merely a disgraced financier at that point, he was actively serving a sentence connected to a minor, yet Ferguson still allegedly met with him through a work-release loophole that has since become one of the most notorious examples of how Epstein received special treatment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sarah Ferguson visited Epstein TWICE at office for a bogus firm he set up while he was serving prison sentence for child sex offence | Daily Mail Online

Day 1,585.After a weekend that saw Ukraine's Constitution Day celebrated with yet more lengthy queues at petrol stations in Russia and Crimea – a situation not helped by Russian oil refineries continuing to self-sanction – Putin shrugs that these ‘difficult' days are just a speed bump on the road to inevitable victory. Dom and Francis ponder on Alexander Lukashenko's slightly odd weekend jaunt to China via Putin's lakeside retreat in Valdai – at least we now know what all the extra air defence was shipped in for – and ask, is he looking for a new best friend? And finally, after news of a mass shooting in the northern German city of Stade, they speak to Berlin correspondent James Rothwell who has been reporting on NATO preparations for a possible future Battle of the Baltics.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.James Rothwell (Berlin Correspondent). @JamesERothwell on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Gabby ColvinStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Day 1,579.Today, as reports emerge that Donald Trump urged President Zelensky to act “more boldly” towards Russia, the clock is ticking on Ukraine's threat to target drone relay stations in Belarus that Kyiv says are helping facilitate attacks on Ukrainian territory. We examine the Kremlin's extraordinary demand that Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko travel to Moscow for advice on protecting his country's sovereignty – a suggestion that reveals much about the true nature of Russia's relationship with its closest ally. We also bring you the latest Ukrainian strikes aimed at isolating Crimea, exposing the vulnerability of Russian supply routes as drones hunt convoys and pontoon crossings with increasing impunity. And later, in an exclusive interview, we speak to the European Union's first Defence Commissioner about Europe's plans to counter an increasingly aggressive Russia, strengthen continental security, and support Ukraine for the long haul.Contributor: Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Producer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Chris JanuaryExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
