At 6pm the beach and village began to empty, and those in the know headed up the hill towards the old granite coastguard station on the headland.“This is the best spot,” said Sennen Cove resident Lisa Redfern, who had built a pinhole camera for the eclipse out of an old Ryvita Thins box.As the moon began to hide the sun and Redfern – just about – got her makeshift device to work, she felt a little emotional.“I’d describe it as a magical eeriness,” she said. “Let’s face it, we may not see another one. We have to make the most of these moments.”It was certainly a wonderful communal moment. Redfern was part of a big group of friends and family who enjoyed a picnic (including Pringles and prosecco) on the headland.Matthew Robinson came armed with a colander and spent a frustrating few minutes getting the angle right. “The colander is a bit disappointing, but there’s a lovely atmosphere here.”Iceland in complete darkness during total solar eclipse – videoAnother member of the group, seven-year-old Rina, did have the proper eclipse glasses. “It’s like someone has taken a bite out of a biscuit,” she said as the eclipse began.Strangers shared picnics, drinks and eclipse glasses, which had been very tricky to source in Cornwall.The wind picked up as the eclipse took hold and the temperature, which had reached the 30s during the day, plunged.Gulls stopped circling and landed on the surface of the water. A trio of choughs – Cornwall’s national bird – hopped around on the hillside, looking a little less graceful than usual. The swallows that had been whizzing around the thatched cottages rested for a while.Mary Bendall had positioned herself on a rock near the coastguard station with a complicated setup involving a filter over a scope that she uses to watch wildlife and her iPhone.She watched the total eclipse in 1999 with her daughter, who now works in physics, having been inspired by the experience. “I have just spoken to her – she’s in Spain. It’s cloudy there so we may be having the best of it,” Bendall said.Some set out to sea to see the eclipse.

Elsewhere, the playlist blaring from radios and pubs was predictable – Van Morrison’s Moondance and the Whole of the Moon by the Waterboys.Members of Kernow Astronomers were posted at the National Trust’s site Carnewas at Bedruthan, near Padstow, with telescopes fitted with filters to enable visitors to observe the eclipse safely.Inland, people had gathered on hilltops, near castles, close to one of Cornwall’s many standing stones.Carolyn Kennett, a Cornish expert in archaeoastronomy, said eclipses would almost certainly have been unexpected for ancient people and would have inspired awe, wonder and, perhaps, terror.skip past newsletter promotionFree newsletter | Every daySign up to Headlines UKGet the day’s headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morningafter newsletter promotionShe said: “An eclipse is a powerful spectacle, and for people without a modern scientific explanation, such an event would likely have carried profound meaning.A technical approach to the eclipse. Photograph: Luke Gartside/The Guardian“It is possible that witnessing an eclipse influenced the beliefs, stories, rituals or even choices of those who experienced one.”The Rev Karsten Wedgewood, priest in charge of St Just in Penwith, near Sennen, planned a picnic at a prehistoric funerary cairn, and a prayer based on psalm 8, known as the psalm for stargazers – “When I consider your heavens/the work of your fingers, / the moon and the stars …”At one point, one of the woes of modern life seemed destined to intervene when a pall of smoke from a wildfire near Land’s End airport threatened to dim the spectacle.A series of wildfires has been fought in Cornwall over the past few days but it did not affect the view from Sennen, at least.Coastguards and lifeguards had advised those intending to watch from kayaks or surfboards or take an eclipse sea dip to remember that it was going to turn a little colder and, of course, visibility would be poorer.A crew from the Cape Cornwall Pilot Gig Club put out to sea from Sennen harbour but returned before the darkness fell and fired up the barbecue instead.Surf photographer Jules River did paddle out on his board. “This is a kind of pilgrimage for me – it feels very soulful and healing to be here when this is happening.”There were good views to be had in the village as well as on the headland.Mother and daughter Lisa and Janet Grenfell, 53 and 79, plonked their camp chairs on the front and took it all in. “We remember the total eclipse in 1999 but it was cloudy. This is beautiful.”Jasmine Owen and Rory Smith arguably had the best seat in the house – a table overlooking the ocean where they tucked into fish and chips.What was better? The supper or the eclipse? Owen did not hesitate: “The chips are great, the eclipse amazing.”

‘A magical eeriness’: Cornwall comes together for communal moment during solar eclipse
Liverpool Uses ‘eye’ In AI To Boost Pool Safety
Liverpool is using the “eye” in AI, with new artificial intelligence technology giving lifeguards an extra set of eyes on the water at Whitlam Leisure Centre.The drowning detection system uses cameras and AI to monitor swimmers in real time and alert lifeguards when it detects behaviour that could indicate a swimmer is in distress.The system has been introduced and funded at Whitlam Leisure Centre by Belgravia Leisure, working in partnership with Liverpool City Council to support safer and more enjoyable swimming experiences for the local community.Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun said the technology was an important extra safety measure, but would never replace lifeguards. “This is about giving our lifeguards another set of eyes, not replacing the people who are watching the pool and are trained to respond when something goes wrong,” Mayor Mannoun said.”Drowning can happen in seconds, so having technology that can alert our lifeguards to a potential problem gives them another tool when every second counts.”This is creating an extra layer of safety and reassurance in what unfortunately can sometimes be a dangerous environment. Safety is our prime concern at all our swimming centres.”Mayor Mannoun said this swimmer safety was particularly important in Liverpool’s diverse community.”Liverpool is the most multicultural city in Australia, and many people in our community have come from countries where learning to swim just isn’t part of growing up in the way it is here,” he said.”We know that, and Council is doing everything we can to make sure our pools remain safe places where families can enjoy themselves, exercise and relax.”Rob Tomasums, Belgravia Leisure Area Manager NSW, said the project is an important investment in community safety.”Whitlam Leisure Centre plays an important role in supporting health, wellbeing and water safety across Liverpool. We are proud to have introduced this technology as it gives our team another layer of support and reinforces our commitment to creating safe, welcoming and confidence-building aquatic experiences for everyone who visits.Unlike many pool surveillance systems, the technology can be used in pools of different shapes rather than being limited to conventional square or rectangular pools.Council plans to roll out the technology at Michael Wendon Aquatic Leisure Centre (also managed by Belgravia Leisure), Holsworthy and the new aquatic centre planned for Carnes Hill.

Defendants expecting long jail time after shots fired at Walsall family’s home
Published 13th Aug 2026, 06:00 BSTThree men conspired to shoot up a Walsall family’s home over a “perceived wrong”, a judge has been told.Haider Ali Shabir, aged 23, and Mohammed Ishaan Khan, aged 20, of no fixed abode; and Junaid Shabir, aged 21, all from Walsall, were due to stand trial in relation to shots being fired at a property in Talke Road, Delves, on March 13, 2024.The court had previously heard that threats had been made to a woman at the address before a gun was fired, putting the safety of two of the occupants at risk. Prosecuting barrister Jonathan Barker said: “In relation to Haider Shabir he was sentenced in June 2023 for possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and was jailed for 14 years.Wolverhampton Crown Court“That case has similarities with the latest matter. There was an incident linked to some perceived wrong to his sister and this was a reaction to whatever had happened.”In relation to the indictment I propose to add count three which alleges conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. I understand that if that is put to all of the defendants, all of them will plead guilty to that count.”Mr Barker said Mohammed Ishaan Khan also had previous convictions while Junaid Shabir had none.The defendants were due to be tried for conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life between March 4 and March 14 in 2024, a charge which they all denied. Junaid Shabir, a student, of Lane Avenue, Reedswood, had also denied possessing a shotgun with intent to endanger life on March 13, 2024. However, ahead of the start on the trial on Wednesday morning (August 12) at Wolverhampton Crown Court, all pleaded guilty to the alternative charge of conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence between March 4 and March 13, 2024.All three entered guilty pleas resulting in the earlier charges being dropped after the Crown Prosecution Service and the defence barristers agreed terms. Judge Jonathan Gosling said: “In relation to Haider Shabir and Mohammed Ishaan Khan, the issue of dangerousness needs to be addressed ahead of sentencing.“I cannot sentence you today. You must all remain in custody until December 11. You know you are facing a significant prison sentence. You must co-operate with probation in the meantime.”He adjourned the matter until then.At the time of the Delves shooting West Midlands Police launched a public appeal for information to find those responsible. Haider Shabir, of Lane Avenue, was previously jailed for 14 years and nine months for possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life after a shop in Bertram Road, Smethwick, was smashed up and shots fired in January 2023 relating to a family dispute.

Leicester City are in League One under Russell Martin and facing an all-time low but revival hopes remain at King Power
These are strange times for Leicester City. There is a nascent optimism about this League One season under new boss Russell Martin. The Foxes are favourites for the title. Season tickets are sold out. But there is a now familiar fragility to it all too.To illustrate that, anything less than a win at Notts County on the opening weekend and the fledgling table will show Leicester in their lowest ever position in English football. They have only been in the third tier once before and they never dropped below sixth.
There are those still angered by the fall, wondering not only how it has been allowed to happen but that those considered responsible for it are still in post. Others are just ready to embrace the prospect of winning football matches. It all feels a little precarious.
Being at the King Power Stadium for Martin’s first competitive game in charge in the first round of the Carabao Cup was a curious experience. Leicester beat Northampton Town 1-0 thanks to Caleb Okoli’s deflected effort in the first half in front of a sparse crowd.From the near empty press room, where continental journalists congregated not so long ago, to the sight of those past glories being replayed on the video screens prior to kick-off. Revisiting those triumphs used to feel celebratory, now there is an air of melancholy.On the pitch, they could have been behind inside a minute had Northampton’s Harvey Saunders punished a loose pass in Leicester’s own defensive third. Martin would need the hide of rhino not to have been envisaging the wider reaction in that split second.
Speaking to him about that afterwards, he acknowledged: “There were a few scary moments at the start of the game and the end, which we will sort out.” They will need to because it seems inevitable that opponents will be eager to pounce on such indecision.

Highlights of the Carabao Cup first round tie between Leicester and Northampton
Martin still oozes confidence but Rangers was a chastening experience and he too is rebuilding. Like his employers, he has gone from English football’s top tier to its third in no time at all. Both have something to prove. Maybe they can be good for each other.The new man is making all the right noises. “Honestly, since I have been with the people around the club and around the city, they have been great. I walked there last night, had dinner there, people have been brilliant with us.” The appetite for a fresh start is there.There are clubs who fear losing players in the wake of relegation. At Leicester, having suffered a dreaded double drop, a third relegation in four seasons, that is not the mood. Cleansing the collective memory of those failures is essential within the dressing room.New faces can fast-track the healing process and the business looks smart. The experienced Conor Chaplin has come in, while Wes Burns looks a snip having also arrived from Ipswich. Martin knows Liam Cullen from their time together at Swansea.All are proven at the level above. Tommy Watson, a loan signing from Brighton, is younger but looked an exciting prospect at Sunderland and is still only 20. Players have turned down Championship moves for the chance to be a part of this Leicester rebuild.Just the act of moving on players who do not want to be at the club and bringing in those who do can help with the cultural reset. When Martin talks of a team that is “hungry to run, brave with the ball and aggressive in and out of possession” the appeal is obvious.

Michael Dawson thought Leicester had just doubled their lead against Northampton!
Martin’s commitment to the possession game is unwavering and has been evident in pre-season even as he constructs his new side. Leicester dominated the ball against Serie A side Genoa but lost the match. They will need to improve on the small details.Andy King, who for now holds the extraordinary distinction of having played for the club at their highest and lowest points, is the man responsible for Leicester’s attacking set-pieces. That they scored the winner from one against Northampton is encouraging.That they could not add to that goal against League Two opposition suggests that failing to capitalise on their possession is an issue to address. Do they need to add more firepower given that Bobby Cordova-Reid played as a lone striker against Northampton?”We will probably add to the squad – well, we will add – but as for when and where it will depend on what is right for us,” he told Sky Sports. “Even with the players we have got, we can create more, we can do more – it is not just adding someone else – and we will.”But this is about more than refreshing a forward line, this is about refreshing a football club. “We are certainly excited about what we can achieve. And we are going to need the supporters.” The sense is that those supporters, like the team, could still go either way.

Candidate convicted
Hope Spooner
An unsuccessful candidate for Waipa District Council in the Cambridge ward last year has been convicted of defrauding the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) for $107,000.
Hope Amy Spooner, 34, of Cambridge appeared in the Hamilton District Court this week on two charges of obtaining by deception and two of dishonestly using a document. She failed in a bid for continued name suppression. Spooner was provisionally elected on the night of the election but after special votes was pipped by Aidhean Camson.
At sentencing, the court heard Spooner unlawfully received benefits and other forms of financial assistance after claiming she was separated from her husband when, according to MSD investigations, the couple had reconciled within a month. The offending occurred across two separate periods spanning almost four years. Spooner had applied for sole parent support in 2020 and later received further payments after reapplying in 2023.
Court documents showed she received undue credits totalling more than $286,000, although MSD is seeking repayment of $107,132.84.

Waipā Networks says the colder winter in 2026 has prompted an increase in demand. Peak demand to date has been 104.21 MVA – MegaVolt Ampere is a measure of the electrical load on the network – compared with 102.31 last winter – an increase of around 1.9 per cent.
Abuse costs
Waipā District Council has revealed it spent $88,343.15 on legal proceedings related to unacceptable online behaviour directed from outside the district at a staff member. Chief executive Steph O’Sullivan said the costs were higher than expected but the council had a legal obligation to act under health and safety requirements.
Park gets upgrade
Hautapu fans had a ton of fun at Memorial Park as the seniors thrashed neighbours Te Awamutu Sports.
Facilities at Cambridge’s Memorial Park will be upgraded thanks to a grant to Hautapu Sports Club from national rugby’s Legacy Fund. Eighteen rugby clubs, including Hautapu, will share in a distribution of $1.2 million in grants. Successful applications were based around improving or developing clubrooms, women and girls changing rooms or playing fields. In Hautapu’s application, supported by Waikato Rugby, Memorial Park’s lack of dedicated changing rooms, shower facilities and toilets for female players was highlighted.
Memorial Park primarily serves Cambridge but is also a central location for other Waikato sports. “While Hautapu Sports will drive this project,we are clear this is much wider than our club, being Memorial Park, the history of the ground, together with the current wider community involvement at the park, which is exciting,” club president Dave Simes said.

‘Bryan Mbeumo is on fire’… Watch Manchester United star produce outrageous assist for Joshua Zirkzee against Leeds
Bryan Mbeumo just sent Manchester United fans into raptures with an incredible assist.
The Cameroonian made his mark against Leeds United at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland.
Bryan Mbeumo assisted Joshua Zirkzee against Leeds United
While not the rivalry it once was, there’s still an awful lot of history between Manchester United and Leeds United, making it a match every single player on the pitch wants to perform well in.
And Bryan Mbeumo can certainly say he’s done just that. When the ball arrived at his feet inside his own half, the superstar produced a lightning burst of pace, leaving one Leeds player in the dust, before sprinting all the way to the edge of the box where he delivered a precision pass to Joshua Zirkzee, who finished the move with remarkable composure to give his side the lead.
WOW: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a fascinating conversation with a Manchester United legend right before he scored 1999 Champions League winner
Of course, fans were quick to head to social media to give their thoughts on the brilliance that had just transpired.
One said: “Bryan Mbeumo is on fire,” while another added: “Bryan Mbeumo is legitimately the most dangerous player in the world right now. Absolutely unplayable.”
A third added: “What a player Bryan Mbeumo has been during pre-season.” A fourth posted: “What a pass from Bryan Mbeumo. That assist for Joshua Zirkzee’s goal was pure football IQ.”

Matthew Stafford facing major off-field issue before Rams season
Matthew Stafford facing major off-field issue before Rams season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.Matthew Stafford has plenty to manage as he prepares for another season with the Los Angeles Rams, but a reported financial issue has added an unexpected off-field concern before Week 1. The reigning NFL MVP and his wife, Kelly Stafford, are facing a California state tax lien worth more than $534,000, according to a report from Page Six.AdvertisementThe lien comes as Stafford prepares to lead a Rams team with legitimate Super Bowl expectations into the 2026 NFL season.Matthew Stafford, wife reportedly owe more than $534,000Page Six reported that the California Franchise Tax Board filed a state tax lien totaling $534,453.67 against Matthew and Kelly Stafford for the 2024 taxable year. The lien was reportedly filed July 14 and remains active, according to confirmation the outlet received from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. It can attach to property and property rights the Staffords currently own or acquire in the future.Interest and additional fees may continue to accumulate if the reported debt remains unpaid. Representatives for the couple did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment. The reported lien is notable given Stafford’s considerable NFL earnings. The veteran quarterback agreed to a one-year, $55 million contract extension with the Rams in 2026, a deal that is expected to push his career earnings beyond $500 million.AdvertisementStafford has also invested heavily in Southern California real estate since the Detroit Lions traded him to Los Angeles in 2021. He and his wife reportedly purchased a Hidden Hills mansion for $28.15 million in 2023 after spending $10.5 million on a neighboring property one year earlier. The couple also sold three other Hidden Hills homes for a combined $21.3 million in June.The presence of a tax lien does not necessarily mean Stafford is facing an extended legal battle, but it does create an issue that will need to be addressed. Until the lien is paid or otherwise resolved, it remains attached to the couple’s property rights.Stafford preparing for another Super Bowl runStafford’s financial situation is unlikely to affect his availability on the field, where the Rams will once again depend on him to lead one of the NFC’s most dangerous teams. The veteran quarterback is coming off an MVP season and enters 2026 with another talented roster around him. Los Angeles reinforced its championship ambitions during the offseason, most notably by acquiring star pass rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns.AdvertisementStafford has already delivered one Super Bowl championship since joining the Rams, helping the franchise win it all following the 2021 season. Even as he moves deeper into his career, Los Angeles has continued to show its confidence in him through its financial commitment. The Rams will begin their season Sept. 10 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. That matchup will put Stafford and Los Angeles in the spotlight immediately.Before that highly anticipated opener arrives, however, the reported $534,453.67 tax lien gives Stafford a significant off-field matter to resolve.
Rumour Mongering: Galatasaray and Man City Interested in Mac Allister
While the signing of Ronald Araújo on loan takes a lot of the pressure off Liverpool’s need to make defensive signings in what’s left of the summer transfer window, a high calibre winger to replace the departed Mohamed Salah remains a priority and midfielder Curtis Jones looks to have one foot out the door to Inter.If Jones does leave Liverpool, replacing the club trained 25-year-old him will become another pressing need. Despite that, a smattering of reports today have clubs at wildly different ends of the footballing spectrum sniffing around another midfielder, with Argentine Alexis Mac Allister now said to be attracting interest.At one end of it, reports out of Turkey have Galatasaray reaching out to determine both Mac Allister’s willingness and wage demands along with Liverpool’s willingness to sell—and what sort of fee it would take. Then at the other end of things, TalkSport are floating Manchester City as potential suitors for him as well.Neither seems especially likely, as in all fairness to the Turkish Super Lig it’s hard to see Mac Allister making a prime age jump to the Turkish Super Lig. Meanwhile for City, it’s hard to see Liverpool signing off on such a deal unless the fee on offer was truly ridiculous, at which point one would expect City to look elsewhere.According to the rumour mongers, with Rodri on his way to Barcelona, City would view Mac Allister as a cheap alternative to the likes of Adam Wharton and Enzo Fernandez. While stripped as context Mac Allister might be expected to cost less, the real world context is they’re City please be serious, TalkSport. You dipshits.
