Renee Zellweger says she has 'a lot of Bridget Jones's worst traits in me'

Ukraine. Russia began their invasion of Ukraine 11 days ago, and according to reports, it is unlikely to cease any time soon.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has renewed calls for NATO to establish a no-fly zone in the face of the continuing Russian invasion, a flight of three cutting-edge F-35B Lightning stealth fighters has been spotted moving into RAF Marham in Norfolk.The fearsome war machines have a split personality. They can operate in a stealth configuration, holding bombs and missiles on the four weapons stations in its twin internal weapons bays.This maintains the aircraft’s low radar observability by keeping the bulky ordinance inside the plane’s radar-absorbent skin.But when stealth isn’t an issue, the F-35B can be configured into “beast mode,” with a staggering amount of ordinance mounted on its external weapons pylons.The two outboard weapon stations each can carry ordnance up to 1,500 lb (680 kg), allowing a Lightning in “beast mode” to carry precision ordinance such as the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), Paveway bombs, or the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW).The advanced fighter-bomber is ideally suited to carrier operations or forward operating bases, requiring a comparatively short 450-foot runway.The F-35B is a shade chubbier than the previous A-variant because it also incorporates a vertical takeoff and landing [VTOL] capability – something the RAF has lacked since the last Hawker Harriers were taken out of service a decade ago.The Lightning has a top speed of Mach 1.6 (over 1220mph) even with a full internal payload.

dating can be hard.Harnaam Kaur, 31, started growing hair around her throat when she was aged 11 after puberty hit.Her mum took me to the doctor for tests and at 12, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that affects women’s hormone levels.Symptoms include irregular periods, growing facial hair and difficulty getting pregnant.After finding out about her condition, Harnaam's mum took her to a salon to get her face waxed.However, as well as constant pain, Harnaam said that instead of being bullied over her facial hair, she was now targeted for having it removed.The waxing also meant the hair was growing back thicker and darker, so Harnaam made the decision to ditch the waxes and let the hair grow.Talking about this to The Mirror, she said: "I was going through all of this pain – because my skin was so soft and sensitive, particularly at that age – and trying so hard to conform, but all for nothing."The hair was also growing back thicker and darker after every wax.

It’s 25 years since Bridget Jones’s Diary was first published as a newspaper column, followed by the novel of the same name about the antics of its delightfully clumsy, unlucky-in-love, Chardonnay-swilling, chain-smoking heroine.
