Prince Harry has vowed to continue Princess Diana’s “unfinished work” on eliminating HIV stigma, adding that he is a man who wants to “fix things”.Before her death in 1997, the Princess of Wales had been an advocate for battling the stigma surrounding people with HIV.During the peak of the AIDS pandemic, Diana opened the UK’s first specialist HIV/AIDS unit at London’s Middlesex Hospital.Harry has taken up his mother’s activism, supporting rugby legend Gareth Thomas with his ‘Tackle HIV’ project.Now, the prince has sat down with Thomas for a special podcast episode, and discussed why he felt it was important to continue Diana’s legacy.“One of my biggest fears is, this is unfinished business,” he admitted, suggesting the medical and scientific communities had achieved “extraordinary” success over the last 30 years.“But how extraordinary could it be by 2030, for instance? Within the UK alone, we could be in a position where there are no new HIV cases," he continued.“Those are the kind of goals that we have to strive for, but we also have to complete, otherwise as I say, it’s unfinished business.”The ex-royal went on to promote an initiative encouraging everyone to get tested for HIV, emphasising the benefits of a hands-on, practical approach.“Every single one of us has a duty, or at least an opportunity, to get tested ourselves to make it easier for everybody else to get tested,” he said.“It will undoubtedly save a life, or at the very least, encourage someone who is living in fear to come forward and get to know their own status, which in turn will save a life.”To get more royal stories from Daily Star delivered straight to your inbox sign up to one of our free newsletters here.“If there’s a way out of it, and we know

Conor McGregor were unsavoury, with the Russian icon going after the Irish fighter's team members after comfortably winning inside the cage, then it was nothing compared to this.Just as the victor was set to get his hand raised, hell broke loose, with the loser appearing to rip off his strapping and hurl it towards a coaching staff member at ringside.That prompted laughter and an exchange of words, but no-one was smiling seconds later as the fighter sprinted towards the ropes and exchanged blows with the individual, and then grappled with officials as they tried in vain to calm him down.As the ring announcer futilely pleaded for calm, things eventually seemed to momentarily simmer down before kicking off again, with the fighter throwing a second bit of strapping out of ring before a man in plain clothes dived through the ropes and the pair scrapped.In the meantime the winner, who initially had tried to drag his beaten opponent - and officials - away from the melee, had clearly had enough, and simply watched on from outside the ropes as the chaos continued.Anything wrong with a good old post-bout scrap? Let us know in the comments section.By the time things settled a second time, there were multiple officials, coaches, and seemingly random individuals on the mat, with a small crowd watching on in a mixture of disgust and disbelief.The clip was posted on Twitter by @Matysek88, who has been getting attention of late for similarly bizarre posts relation to pop-MMA, another Russian-based promotion whereby people take part in fights on the back of little, or in some cases zero, MMA experience.Inter-gender bouts are also encouraged, while no restrictions are placed on the weight difference between opponents.

Selome Hailu editor“Reservation Dogs,” FX’s new comedy about Indigenous teens in rural Oklahoma co-created by Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo, is breaking ground for Native American representation in Hollywood. With a team almost entirely made up of Native creatives, what’s the show’s most innovative storytelling element? According to them, it’s the simple fact that “Reservation Dogs” has a sense of humor.“TV and streaming is not as afraid as feature films have been to let us tell stories with Native lead actors,” Harjo told Variety at the “Reservation Dogs” premiere at NeueHouse Hollywood.

For Reservation Dogs co-creators Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, comedy is all part of putting a new, refreshing spin on media portrayals of Indigenous communities.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticIt’s rare to see a series that conjures up a sense of place quite as well as does FX’s new “Reservation Dogs.” The series, set in and shot in Oklahoma with a cast, set of directors and writers’ room made up entirely of Indigenous people, lets us into a world television too rarely goes. The title reservation, a rural place where the only fun is what one makes for oneself, is a place our characters are keen to escape.
