STAR TV

Estelle Harris, a film and television actress from the United States, died at the age of 93. She was most recognized for her role as Estelle Costanza, George Costanza's mother, on the Seinfeld series in the 1990s. Harris transformed Costanza into a fictitious mother beloved by fans for her ridiculous comments, thanks to her trademark high-pitched voice and short-fused anger. In Toy Story 2, she also voiced the animated Mrs Potato Head, a role she reprised twice. Harris, on the other hand, became a household name thanks to his appearances on Seinfeld, where he appeared in scores of episodes over the course of five seasons. In 1992, Harris made her television debut as Estelle Costanza, the controlling mother of romantically insecure George Costanza. In the episode, Estelle nags her son George so much that he attempts in vain to persuade her to move to Florida permanently, far away from the New York City neighborhood where the show is situated. "Even though she's a pain in th

Foo Fighters took home three Grammy Awards in 2022, just a week after their drummer, Taylor Hawkins, died unexpectedly. Medicine at Midnight won best rock album, rock performance for its opening single Making A Fire, and rock song for Waiting On A War. In the band's absence, presenter Jimmy Jam collected the awards "with prayers to their loved ones." Hawkins passed away in Colombia just days before the band was set to perform at a festival. An ambulance was dispatched to the hotel when a man complained of chest issues, according to local officials. According to the city's health authorities, he did not respond to resuscitation efforts and was declared dead. Investigators discovered opioids, marijuana, and other narcotics in the 50-year-system old's after he died, but it's unclear whether they had a role in his death. The Foo Fighters were scheduled to perform at the Grammy Awards this weekend. Instead, a video tribute to Hawkins was shown, set to the Foo Fight

Long lines caused by disruptions to cross-Channel ferry services have caused delays of more than six hours for motorists nearing Dover. The cause has been attributed to bad weather and a lack of ferries. The suspension of P&O services had already impacted capacity at the Port of Dover. People were being "handled like animals" with little or no support, according to lorry driver Stuart Orme, who has been stuck for several hours. "Operators have been working hard all day to process the traffic and get travellers on their way as quickly as possible," a representative for the Port of Dover said. Tourist traffic continues to flow through the port, and while local traffic congestion is lessening, it remains congested." The Kent Resilience Forum, a partner organization planning for emergencies in Kent and Medway, reported that "impatient" lorry drivers were producing a backlog in the town by attempting to circumvent the Dover TAP and Operation Brock traf

As the airport struggles to cope with rising demand, a lack of employees at Manchester Airport has resulted in long lines for baggage collection. For weeks, the airport has been plagued by delays, with hours-long security lines leading some passengers to miss their flights. Returning passengers were warned on Saturday that there were insufficient personnel to carry their baggage through - or even to let them exit from planes in some situations. To satisfy demand, the airport stated it was having difficulty recruiting and training workers. The challenges arise when portions of England begin their Easter vacations, and demand rises following the lifting of all Covid travel restrictions to the UK. Passengers claimed they were informed there weren't enough workers to get the luggage through the baggage hall. One politician blamed the problems at the airport, which is partly owned by Manchester City Council, on a "management failure." Passengers whose experience "fell sho

David Warburton, a Conservative MP, has been suspended from the party pending an investigation into claims of misconduct. The Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme of Parliament is looking into the allegations against Mr Warburton, who sits on the backbenches (ICGS). Since 2015, Mr Warburton has served as the Member of Parliament for Somerton and Frome. The party whip had been removed while the investigation was ongoing, according to a representative for the Whips Office.

Declassified Putin's senior advisers have allegedly been "too afraid to tell him the truth" about the situation on the ground, according to US intelligence. Russian President Vladimir Putin is being mislead by his advisers on Russia's battlefield defeats, according to the Kremlin. "Neither the State Department nor the Pentagon have true information about what is happening in the Kremlin," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said at a daily news briefing on Thursday. "They simply do not comprehend what is going on in the Kremlin," he said, warning that "such a complete ignorance leads to erroneous and reckless actions that have extremely serious implications." It comes after declassified US information revealed that Putin's top advisers were "too terrified to tell him the truth" about the situation on the ground. The Biden administration revealed a proposal to release about 1 million barrels of oil per day for up to six months

Lauren Handy, 28, styles herself as a "Catholic anarchist" and is the head of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU). When the foetuses were discovered, police claimed they were looking into a "possible bio-hazard material." Ms Handy was indicted separately on Wednesday for attempting to force her way into an abortion clinic in 2020. On Wednesday, while detectives retrieved items from the basement in bags and coolers, she was pictured outside the residence. "People would freak out when they heard" what was inside the crates being seized, she told local news site WUSA9. The home where the foetuses were discovered was not Ms Handy's, according to Washington police. The house, however, was where Ms Handy was detained and had resided or stayed, according to two law enforcement sources who spoke to the Washington Post. At a press conference, Ashan Benedict, executive assistant Washington DC police chief, said, "There doesn't seem to be anyth

A potentially life-changing artificial pancreas is being tested in over 900 patients with type 1 diabetes in England. It can replace finger prick tests and prevent life-threatening hypoglycaemic episodes, which occur when blood sugar levels drop too low. The method works by placing a sensor beneath the skin. It continuously monitors the readings, and a pump adjusts the quantity of insulin required automatically. Charlotte, a six-year-old from Lancashire, is one of over 200 youngsters who use the hybrid closed loop device. Ange Abbott, her mother, said that it has had a huge impact on the entire family. "Everything was manual before the loop," she explained. "At night, we'd have to set the alarm every two hours to administer finger pricks and insulin corrections to deal with Charlotte's blood sugar fluctuations." In the United Kingdom, almost 400,000 people have type 1 diabetes, a condition in which the body is unable to generate insulin, the hormone that reg

Manchester City has been granted Premier League permission to work with Ukrainian refugee Andrii Kravchuk. Oleksandr Zinchenko, a City and Ukraine defender, was instrumental in the decision. At Shakhtar Donetsk, the two played together as teenagers. When the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, Kravchuk was at a training camp in Turkey with his Russian team Torpedo Moscow. The 23-year-old midfielder has now ended his contract and relocated to Manchester, where he will train with City's Under-23 team for the rest of the season. When it came to playing for a Russian club, Kravchuk remarked, "I felt incredibly uncomfortable." "I was having fun in a country that had invaded my native country." The only option was to leave the club. If I continued to play in Ukraine, the people would not understand me." Kravchuk's family has remained in Kyiv, where his brother Aleks is a member of the Ukrainian military. "Every day, I tell him how proud I am of him for sa

Millions of individuals will now be affected by an unprecedented £700-per-year increase in energy expenses, which comes on top of a slew of other bill increases. A typical household using a normal amount of gas and electricity will now pay £1,971 per year due to the 54 percent increase in the energy price cap. In October, another increase, bringing the annual bill to £2,600, is predicted, according to one analyst. Some people's council tax, water bills, and auto tax will increase on April 1st. Minimum wage rates are rising, which, combined with some government assistance, is helping to ease the hit. A typical energy bill increase of £693 per year will affect 18 million families, with 4.5 million consumers on prepayment meters facing a £708 per year increase. Prices are rising at their quickest rate in 30 years, but the unexpected rise in energy costs is the most important for individuals. Customers gave meter readings to ensure they paid no more than was absolutely necessary, and a
