Police are appealing for information in a bid to trace a young man missing from Lanarkshire.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are back on screens for the ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway - and they've certainly planned a great comeback show.Acting as an incredible helper, RuPaul joined the two hosts to announce new segments and guests, while also promising that an impressive Drag Queen performance will take place at the end of the show.As the show went full speed ahead, Ant and Dec surprised a budding bride-to-be with her dream wedding after she was forced to cancel due to Covid-19.Moving onto the next segment, the hosts joked to RuPaul that it was unlikely he had ever seen somebody come on the show dressed in plain clothes only to see a dramatic transformation by the end.Ant said: "Right let's go back to our star guest announcer, did you enjoy that Ru?" Who said they loved it. Dec chirped: "I bet you've never seen a TV show before where somebody starts up in ordinary clothes and by the end of it they're in a spectacular dress and loads of makeup?" The audience began to chuckle at the clear joke, but RuPaul's mind was elsewhere as he said: "Um, seen one? I invented one honey.

Tottenham Hotspur be without Harry Kane? This was the rare pain-staking showcase of 'Here's what you could have won' for Manchester City in their own backyard.Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher jokingly likened Kane to Italian great Andrea Pirlo in the first half of their stunning win at the Etihad.Pirlo's genius was not quantified by his goal contribution record and it seems almost unjust that Kane will not add to his own sensational tally for his brilliance in the Spurs opener.The superb striker cut open City's high offside line with a glorious reverse pass to partner in crime Son Heung-Min.Son unselfishly allowed Dejan Kulusevski to open his Spurs account and shock the Etihad inside four minutes.Spurs inevitably succumbed to an equaliser that came through Ilkay Gundogan after a horror show from Hugo Lloris.World-class Kane delightfully side-footed home past Ederson in the second period to get the goal he so richly deserved.City thought they had their equaliser when Riyad Mahrez converted a superb spot-kick in added time.But in an incredible finale, the man they so desperately craved headed a brilliant last-gasp winner in the final moments to leave City crestfallen.It cannot be forgotten that the England captain would have loved to be lining up for the Sky Blues, who are still on course to secure a fourth Premier League title in five years. HAVE YOUR SAY! Should Tottenham have sold Harry Kane last summer? Comment belowKane hardly made his desire to switch London for Manchester a secret when the dust settled after a heartbreaking Euro 2020 final defeat.The Three Lions skipper was at the epicentre of the biggest saga of a seismic summer of transfers but Etihad chiefs baulked at an astronomical £150m price tag.Spurs

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe series of videos from The Weeknd’s blockbuster album “After Hours” continues with “Snowchild,” a semi-autobiographical song from the album that gets a semi-autobiographical animated treatment from the D’ART Shtajio studio, the first black-owned Japanese animation studio in Japan.The clip — which is loaded with easter eggs for fans — begins with his busted-nose “After Hours” character in the desert, then quickly segues to The Weeknd’s hometown of Toronto and follows the song’s lyrics through hustling in the “dead streets” with his friends and into a house filled with balloons (get it?).
