We inherited a deadly cancer gene from our mother

＜更新日時＞ 06月08日（木） 18:02

To be a model you first have to win the genetic lottery, Jade Power acknowledges.The former beauty queen has had a successful career thanks largely to her 5ft 10in frame, endless legs, show-stopping hair and DD bust. 

‘My mum did pass on some great things to me. I was definitely blessed,' jokes Jade, 29. 

Her two older sisters, Donna and Claire, didn't get the height, but they, too, got the shapely figures and great hair.‘The hair was our thing,' nods Donna, 40, the middle sister. 

Note the use of ‘was'. For in the past two years the sisters, from Sussex, have been learning some harsh lessons about that genetic lottery. Today, Donna is wearing a wig, the legacy of chemotherapy so brutal she thought she was going to die. 

Power sisters battle cancer: Lingerie model Jade Power (centre) with her sisters Donna (left) and Claire (right).Donna has been diagnosed with breast cancer.Lingerie model Jade has the cancer gene and has opted for a double mastectomy even though she is healthy. Claire is cancer free and does not have the gene but is racked with guilt

Jade's glorious bust? It's no longer the real deal, but a reconstruction completed after she had both breasts removed.Vivid scars run across her chest. 

On talking to them you quickly realise all three sisters have been scarred, in very different ways, by a genetic quirk which came to light only after Donna was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. 

Genetic testing revealed she was carrying a gene called PALB2, which increases the chance of developing breast  (and, to a lesser extent ovarian cancer).If she had the gene, doctors explained, there was a 50/50 chance her siblings would have it, too. 

And so as Donna recovered from surgery (in the form of a lumpectomy) and chemotherapy, the other female members of her family were submitting to genetic tests.Jade likens it to ‘a horrible game of roulette'. 

Their mum was found to be a carrier although she has never developed breast cancer; Claire, the eldest at 44, was negative. 

But Jade, the baby of the family, was given the devastating news that she had a 71pc chance of developing breast cancer. 

The genetic test was like a horrible game of roulette 

‘With odds like that, in my mind it was a case of "when" I would get it rather than "if",' she says now. 

Overnight, Jade says her relationship with her breasts changed. 

‘I always thought mine were my best assets,' she says.‘They got me swimwear work, too. But the minute I was told I had the gene, I looked in the mirror and I didn't see nice breasts — I saw these things that were going to kill me. 

‘I had no doubts what I had to do. Any other concerns just didn't compare.' For any woman, choosing to have healthy breasts removed is an enormous call. 

For a professional model?

‘It was a huge decision,' says Jade. A former professional showjumper, she had travelled the world for her job, working as the face of outdoor clothing company Musto. Her modelling assignments had taken her from Monte Carlo to the Far East, and she graced the catwalk during Fashion Week.

‘But worries about the impact on modelling pale into insignificance compared with fears about my life and health.' 

So last year, Jade — by then a new mother to baby Zander — underwent a double mastectomy, EVdEN eve NaKLiYAt removing healthy breasts ‘before they had a chance to be a threat to my life and leave my son without a mother'. 

This week she was in the news vowing to return to modelling, even the lingerie side of the business, to show ‘that women can still be sexy even after a mastectomy'. 

Her great inspiration is Hollywood actress and activist Angelina Jolie, who changed the narrative around elective mastectomies after she discovered she was carrying the more common BRCA1 gene and had a double mastectomy and hysterectomy. 

Now the sisters have launched a campaign calling for more awareness of genetic mutations linked to breast cancer, and access to genetic testing. 

Jade accurately describes their family story as ‘quite a hard one to get your head around'. 

‘It's a bit of a crazy situation because, while it's Donna who's had cancer, I'm the one who has had the double mastectomy,' she explains.

‘She's lost her hair and is going through a chemically induced menopause because of her cancer treatment.Yet I was the one who was offered  and embryo screening if I wanted to get pregnant — to ensure the gene wasn't passed on.' 

The three sisters — clearly all very close — perfectly illustrate the havoc a genetic mutation can wreak in a family. 

It may seem that Claire has ‘escaped'.Not so. 

‘I was the one who got the news I wasn't a carrier, but how could I celebrate? How could I say to my sisters: "Well, it's good news for me!"' she says. ‘There's a huge amount of guilt, watching them go through what they have.' 

Their mum, too, has felt guilty.‘She was devastated knowing she'd passed it on,' says Donna. 

Scientists discovered the PALB2 gene only in 2006, so little is known about it. However, they do know that it can be carried by men, too. 

Donna had to write to her extended family members — about ten in all — gently explaining that they might want to consider tests. 

‘We have a brother but he chose not to be tested because he has a son,' she says.‘If he had a daughter I think it would have been different. 

‘We told all our cousins — even the distant ones. The ripples are something you just never consider ...until you have to.' 

It was in 2020 that the thunderbolt hit.Donna, then single and a healthcare business consultant, evDeN evE NAKliYAt found a lump in her breast and immediately made an appointment at a private clinic for a scan. 

‘I had private health insurance and I just thought: "Let's get this looked at immediately." I thought I might be over-reacting.' 

The face of the lady who did the scan told her she wasn't. 

‘She said there and then that she was pretty sure it was breast cancer, but I'd have to have a formal diagnosis.I went back to my parents' house, and we all cried.' 

That was on a Friday and by the Monday Donna had undergone a biopsy and was on the route to surgery and chemotherapy. She moved back in with her parents during her treatment. 

Claire, who was also single and running her own marketing company, did the same.The whole f­amily rallied. Dad Tyrone drove Donna to her hospital appointments and waited while she had chemo; mum Gloria and Claire did the bulk of the nursing at home. 

‘It was hellish,' Donna remembers. ‘The chemo hit me badly.I was very sick and weak. They had to reduce the dosage, but there were moments when we really didn't think I was going to make it.' 

When someone in their 30s is diagnosed with breast cancer, family history becomes hugely important. 

They discovered, only then, that their mother's sister had died from breast cancer at 41, while another aunt had died from ovarian cancer. 

Donna asked for genetic testing, evDEN eVE NAKliyaT but ‘I still didn't expect anything significant to come back'. 

When it did, she was floored.‘I remember having to tell my sisters: "I am so, so sorry but there is a 50per cent chance that you could have this gene, too." ' 

Their mum's blood test results were the first to come back — and they were positive. 

‘This meant we knew the issue was on her side of the family,' Donna explains.‘She was racked with guilt. It was just the luck of the draw that she hadn't developed cancer. 

‘She's 64 now, so she's still at high risk. They always say it is a "lifetime risk".' Her daughters, Jade and Claire, were next.Claire's result was negative, Jade's positive. 

‘Just my luck!' Jade half-jokes. ‘I knew it would be. Donna and I have always been so similar — apart from the height.' 

When Donna was diagnosed, her treatment options were straightforward and driven by the immediate need to save her life.Jade, however, had a very different decision to make. 

‘There were two options: surveillance, meaning six-monthly mammograms and scans, or I could go for the preventative option of having both my breasts removed.' 

What a choice.But the right course of action quickly became clear to Jade. 

‘Every time I looked at my breasts, I thought "timebomb",' she says. ‘I think having seen Donna go through what she suffered was a factor. I remember thinking: "I could not do that. I do not want to give any cancer a chance to develop at all." Screening is great for some people, but what if the first signs of a cancer manifest the day after you've had a scan? By the time you find it, you are already down the path.' 

There was another complication. Jade, in a long-term relationship, had been considering starting a family.She was warned that the gene could be passed to either a son or daughter, but the consequences for a girl would obviously be more significant. 

Every time I looked at my breasts I thought: timebomb

She was offered IVF with gene therapy, which meant the mutant gene would be removed at the laboratory stage. 

‘I talked about it with my partner, but I was really uncomfortable with that idea,' she says.‘I did want a baby — but I wanted nature to take its course.' 

But while Jade was still agonising about what to do, she discovered she was pregnant — which changed everything. All decisions about future surgery would have to go on hold. 

Baby Zander was born in ­October 2021, his sex bringing a certain relief, though ‘he could still have the gene — we won't know until he is 18'. 

But even as she was breastfeeding, Jade knew she was doing this ‘for the first and last time'. 

‘I still wanted the surgery, so I saw being able to breastfeed him as a gift.If I have any more children I won't be able to.' 

She fed Zander for only two months ‘because my consultant advised that my milk flow needed to have stopped before he would operate', and Jade felt a sense of urgency: ‘Having Zander made it more vital.He needed me alive.'

By August 2022, Jade was ready. She'd spent months researching reconstructive breast surgery. The publicity surrounding Angelina Jolie's mastectomy gave her hope. ‘She was still stunning, still every inch a woman,' says Jade. 

What of her partner?‘100 per cent supportive,' she says. ‘He could see what the anxiety of a life of screening was doing to me.' 

She had the reconstruction done at the same time as the surgery to remove her breasts. 

Now, Jade feels a weight has been taken off her shoulders.But her scars will only fade so much. 

‘I still don't know if I'll ever get back to my job, but I hope so,' she says. ‘I think there has been a move towards models who reflect real life. Women in real life have curves, flaws, scars.It's part of who we are. I'm proud of mine.' 

Would her sisters have taken the decision Jade did? Claire says she probably wouldn't, while Donna says: ‘Knowing what I know now, I'd probably have opted for a mastectomy after my chemo, but at the time I wasn't strong enough.In case you cherished this article and you desire to be given details with regards to EVdEN EvE NakLiyaT generously visit our web site. It may be something to think about in the future'. 

However, they have both supported Jade's decision. 

‘She's been incredibly brave,' Claire says. ‘Both she and Donna have been absolute warriors.' 

The sisters' campaign, #NOTJUSTBRCA, will now push for increased screening opportunities and awareness.On World Cancer Day earlier this month, they released a video talking about their work with the NHS. 

‘And that means women looking at their mums and aunties and asking questions,' Donna says. ‘The answers can be frightening, but knowledge is power.'

Russians mock America for swapping arms dealer for Brittney Griner

＜更新日時＞ 06月08日（木） 17:52

Vladimir 's top allies in Russia are mocking America over the recent prisoner swap that saw the US release convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout in exchange for WNBA star , claiming that Russia got the better end of the deal.

Maria Butina, the pro-Putin MP elected to Russia's Duma after serving a US prison sentence for acting as an unregistered foreign agent, led the charge in taunting the US over Thursday's exchange. 

'The fact that Russia pushed through the exchange of Bout, whom America fundamentally did not want to give away for many years, right now means that, like in The Godfather, we "made them an offer that cannot be refused,"' Butina boasted in Russian on her Telegram channel. 

'This is a position of strength, comrades,' added Butina, who was deported back to Russia in 2019 after serving an 18-month sentence in the US.

On Thursday, the US and Russia announced that Griner, who was sentenced to nine years of hard prison time on cannabis-related charges, had been exchanged for Bout.

The controversial swap took place in Abu Dhabi, and Russian TV showed Bout in a private jet on the flight to Russia, getting his blood pressure checked, speaking with his family by phone and saying, 'I love you very much.'

Bout's mother, Raisa, thanked President Vladimir Putin and the Foreign Ministry for freeing her son, Tass reported.It added that he would be invited to speak to lawmakers on the Duma's International Affairs committee.

On Channel One Russia, the state-run news outlet widely watched in Russia, an announcer hailed Bout as a 'legendary figure' who had suffered 'persecution' and 'illegal extradition to the United States'.

Online comments from Russian-speakers also tended to celebrate Bout's release, with some hailing him as a 'hero'. 

'Finally. He's been sitting in jail for years. Freedom,' wrote one commenter on YouTube. 

'Finally the family will be reunited.Congratulations for the return of Viktor. I wrote him a letter in America with words of support. I'm very glad this part of history is over,' another wrote.

'This is such a big win for America, but at the same time a huge fail.Trading a figure like Bout for a basketball player…' read a comment on a sports news site.

Other Russian-language comments were skeptical of the deal, and slammed Russia for imprisoning Griner. 

'What shame and embarrassment!They took an innocent person hostage, blamed her for something, the devils, just to trade in for a criminal!' one read on YouTube.

'Happy for Griner. But this creates an unpleasant precedent in the sense that it is already dangerous for any US citizen to visit Russia.They can make up any nonsense to keep them there,' another person wrote. 

Bout is widely known abroad as the 'Merchant of Death' international arms dealer who fueled some of the world's worst conflicts.

The 2005 Nicolas Cage movie 'Lord of War' was loosely based on Bout, EVDEn eVe nAkliyaT a former Soviet air force officer who gained fame supposedly by supplying weapons for civil wars in South America, the Middle East and Africa. 

His clients were said to include Liberia's Charles Taylor, longtime Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and both sides in Angola's civil war.

In Russia, however, he's seen as a swashbuckling businessman who was unjustly imprisoned after an overly aggressive US sting operation. 

Russia had pressed for Bout´s release for years and as speculation grew about such a deal, the upper house of parliament opened a display of paintings he made in prison - whose subjects ranged from Soviet dictator Josef Stalin to a kitten. 

The show of his art underlined Bout's complexities.Though in a bloody business, the 55-year-old was a vegetarian and classical music fan who is said to speak six languages.

Even the former federal judge who sentenced him in 2011 thought his 11 years behind bars was adequate punishment.

'He´s done enough time for what he did in this case,' Shira A.Scheindlin told The Associated Press in July as prospects for his release appeared to rise.

Griner, who was arrested at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in February after vape canisters containing cannabis oil were found in her luggage, was sentenced in August to nine years in prison. 

Washington protested her sentence as disproportionate, and EvdEN evE naKLiYat some observers suggested that trading an arms merchant for someone jailed for a small amount of drugs would be a poor deal.

Bout was convicted in 2011 on terrorism charges.Prosecutors said he was ready to sell up to $20 million in weapons, including surface-to-air missiles to shoot down U.S. helicopters. When they made the claim at his 2012 sentencing, Bout shouted: 'It's a lie!'

Bout has steadfastly proclaimed his innocence, evdeN evE nakliYat describing himself as a legitimate businessman who didn´t sell weapons.

Bout's case fit well into Moscow's narrative that Washington sought to trap and oppress innocent Russians on flimsy grounds.

'From the resonant Bout case, a real `hunt´ by Americans for Russian citizens around the world has unfolded,' the government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta wrote last year.

Increasingly, Russia cited his case as a human rights issue.His wife and lawyer claimed his health deteriorated in the harsh prison environment where foreigners are not always eligible for breaks that Americans might receive.

Bout had not been scheduled to be released until 2029. When you loved this post and you would like to receive more information regarding evdEn EvE NAKliyat i implore you to visit our own site. He was held in a medium-security facility in Marion, Illinois.

'He got a hard deal,' said Scheindlin, the retired judge, noting the U.S.sting operatives 'put words in his mouth' so he'd say he was aware Americans could die from weapons he sold in order to require a terrorism enhancement that would force a long prison sentence, if not a life term.

Scheindlin gave Bout the mandatory minimum 25-year sentence but said she did so only because it was required.

At the time, his defense lawyer claimed the U.S.targeted Bout vindictively because it was embarrassed that his companies helped deliver goods to American military contractors involved in the war in Iraq.

The deliveries occurred despite United Nations sanctions imposed against Bout since 2001 because of his reputation as a notorious illegal arms dealer.

Prosecutors had urged Scheindlin to impose a life sentence, saying that if Bout was right to call himself nothing more than a businessman, 'he was a businessman of the most dangerous order.'

Bout was estimated to be worth about $6 billion in March 2008 when he was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand. 

U.S. authorities tricked him into leaving Russia for what he thought was a meeting over a business deal to ship what prosecutors described as 'a breathtaking arsenal of weapons - including hundreds of surface-to-air missiles, machine guns and sniper rifles - 10 million rounds of ammunition and five tons of plastic explosives.'

He was taken into custody at a Bangkok luxury hotel after conversations with the Drug Enforcement Administration sting operation´s informants who posed as officials of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, also known as the FARC.The group had been classified by Washington as a narco-terrorist group.

He was brought to the U.S. in November 2010.

The 'Merchant of Death' moniker was attached to Bout by a high-ranking minister of Britain´s Foreign Office.The nickname was included in the U.S. government´s indictment of Bout.

Airbus and Qatar Airways settle bitter A350 jet row

＜更新日時＞ 06月08日（木） 10:52

By Tim Hepher

PARIS, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Airbus and Qatar Airways have settled a dispute over grounded A350 jets, the companies said on Wednesday, averting a potentially damaging UK court trial after a blistering 18-month feud that tore the lid off the global jet market.

The "amicable and mutually agreeable settlement" ends a $2 billion row over surface damage on the long-haul jets.The spat led to the withdrawal of billions of dollars' worth of jet deals by Airbus and prompted Qatar to increase purchases from Boeing.

The cancelled orders for 23 undelivered A350s and 50 smaller A321neos have been restored under the new deal, which is also expected to see Airbus pay several hundred million dollars to the Gulf carrier, while winning a reprieve from other claims.

Financial details were not publicly disclosed.

The companies said neither admitted liability.Both pledged to drop claims and "move forward and work together as partners".

The deal heads off what amounted to an unprecedented public divorce trial between heavyweights in the normally tight-knit and secretive $150 billion jet industry.

The two sides had piled up combined claims and counter-claims worth about $2 billion ahead of the June trial.

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire welcomed the deal, which came in the wake of increasing political involvement amid close ties between France, where Airbus is based, and EvdeN Eve nAkliYAt Qatar.

"It is the culmination of significant joint efforts. It is excellent news for the French aerospace industry," he said.

Airbus shares closed up 1% before the announcement.

Qatar Airways had taken the unusual step of publicly challenging the world's largest planemaker over safety after paint cracks exposed gaps in a sub-layer of lightning protection on its new-generation A350 carbon-composite jets.

Airbus had acknowledged quality flaws but, backed by European regulators, had insisted that the jets were safe and accused the airline of exaggerating flaws to win compensation.

DAMAGES

Supported by a growing army of lawyers, both sides repeatedly bickered in preliminary hearings over access to documents, evden EvE NakLiyat to the growing frustration of a judge forced to order co-operation.

Analysts said the deal would allow both sides to feel vindicated, with Qatar Airways winning damages and recognition that the problem lay outside the manual and therefore required a new repair, and Airbus standing its ground on safety and spared the difficult task of finding a home for cancelled A350s.

Qatar will get the in-demand A321neos needed to plan its growth, albeit three years later than expected, in 2026.Airbus' decision to revoke that order, separate from the disputed A350 contract, had been criticised by global airlines group IATA.

Airbus said it had done its best to avoid pushing Qatar too far back in the queue, though some experts question whether it could have met the earlier schedule because of supply problems.

The settlement is also expected to stop the clock ticking on a claim for grounding compensation that had been growing by $6 million a day, triggered by a clause agreed upon after the repainting of a jet for the World Cup revealed significant surface damage.

ALISON BOSHOFF: Adele's earns £2million for commuting to Las Vegas

＜更新日時＞ 06月08日（木） 09:34

The stakes are high, as Adele and her team know only too well.Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in .

One down, 31 more potentially perilous performances to go.Now there is one overriding concern among her team: for the sake of Adele's reputation, there can be not one single cancellation this time round.

Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle — only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January less than 24 hours before she was due on stage, emotionally declaring ‘It just ain't ready'.

Local Vegas journalist Scott Roeben — who broke the news of her residency back in 2021 — tells me Caesars Palace has been ‘working hard' to make sure this tour is as drama-free as possible.

Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle — only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January

‘What everyone is concerned about is that she really needs to not cancel one show because people fear another backlash would be very, very damaging.She already has a reputation as a diva. She cannot let the fans down again. In case you beloved this article in addition to you want to acquire more details relating to EVdeN eve naKliyAT generously stop by the web-page. '

Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be ‘intimate' — the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums — and hopes to natter away between songs and invite fans from the audience to join her on stage every night.Tickets are said to be selling for a staggering $38,000 a pop. Fans know how rare it is to see an idol this close up.

Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last.

Scott Roeben is one.He says: ‘The belief is this will be something of a swansong run. The gild is off the lily in terms of record sales, and Adele has said she wants to have a baby and do a college degree, her focus really is moving away from music. Her heart just isn't in it.'

Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be ‘intimate' — the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums

For now, though, broody or not, Adele simply has to get through the residency.And that is no straightforward task: EvdEn EVE NAKliYAt afflicted by stage fright, she is something of a tortured performer. Rehearsing, as she put it herself, for ‘12 hours a f***ing day', she said last month when discussing her preparations: ‘I'm sick and tired of anything musical.'

Her remarks don't quite reflect the enthusiastic tone you expect to hear from an artist.While she arguably had something to prove for past performances, like her world tour in 2016 — an experience she says she is ‘still getting over' — that drive has abated.

It's perhaps this emotion which was at the forefront on Thursday night as Adele tweeted of her extreme pre-show nerves, saying she felt a ‘million miles away from home.'

She went on: ‘Maybe it's because I didn't start when I was supposed to.Maybe it's because it's opening night, maybe it's because Hyde Park went so great, maybe it's because I love the show I don't know. But it's safe to say I've never been more nervous before a show in my career, but at the same time I wish today was tomorrow! I can't wait to see you out there x.'

Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas

Offering her bolstering reassurance throughout is her loyal team — stylist Jamie Mizrahi, hair stylist Sami Knight and manicurist Michelle Humphrey.They will be with her every weekend, as will her boyfriend, the sports agent Rich Paul.

In the run-up to the show's cancellation, insiders said the pair were constantly ‘in the middle of an emotional shout-out' during rehearsals but their relationship is now stronger than ever and they have since moved in together.

Long-time managers Jonathan Dickens and Rose Moon will also be on hand.

And while Adele's contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison.

When in town, she will stay in a £30,000 suite at Caesars Palace, with its own butler — which comes gratis for the performer as part of their agreement.

And while Adele's contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison (Pictured: front of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas)

Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last

Between November and March she will spend just one night a week in the desert city in order to perform twice, flying to Vegas on a Friday to perform, sleep over, and then make the short flight back to Los Angeles every Saturday after she comes off stage.

It is possibly the world's most lucrative commute: she is earning nearly $1 million per show.

More than that, cannily, Adele has apparently struck a deal through which she receives a whopping 50 per cent cut of the merchandise.Expensive branded goods adorn the shelves of the Caesars Palace shop.

Here you can spend $110 on a ‘Rolling in the Deep' sweatshirt, snap up socks with glasses of wine on them, buy necklaces which read ‘divorced' and even get Adele-branded tissues.

What won't be seen, however, are the giant onstage white floating staircase and notorious water feature — damned by Adele as a ‘baggy old pond' — which were planned the first time around.

Indeed, for all her complaints about long rehearsals, it's clear that behind the scenes, many hundreds of others have also long been working hard, collectively holding their breath in the hope that the new set would pass muster to please the mercurial Adele.

While back in January, the singer had fired set designer Esmeralda Devlin, a hugely respected professional, ‘in a panic' after a ‘butting of heads', things were calmer second time round.

Sources suggest Adele demanded constant changes in the run-up to the first opening night, and had never really been clear about what she wanted.In Devlin's place is Londoner Kim Gavin, who warmed up for this gig with visits to Vegas over the summer, and took charge of her set at the Hyde Park concerts in July, eVDEn evE NAKLiYaT where Adele performed in front of an understated curtain of gold and bronze discs which blew in the breeze and caught the lights.

Gavin has just completed the staging for a show featuring the world of Bond at the Royal Albert Hall — a fairly comparable venue in size as well as a comparable concert in tone.

Back in January, Adele pinned the blame for the cancelled show firmly on Covid, tearfully declaring: ‘Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it's been impossible to finish the show.'

Since then, however, she's returned several times to the question of why she pulled the rug on a $150 million production — and it's notable that the excuse of Covid has been ditched.

In July she told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that the primary issues had been artistic.

And despite fans losing thousands of pounds in travel and hotel bills, for EvDen eve nAKLiyaT which Adele said she was ‘devastated', she was also notably defiant.

‘I don't think any other artist would have done what I did and that is why it was such a massive, massive story.It was like, "I don't care. You can't buy me, you can't buy me for nothing. I'm not going to just do a show because I have to or because people are going to be let down or because we're going to lose loads of money." '

Scott Roeben, however, observes: ‘It was damaging to her because of who she was as a performer.

‘The expectation of her because of the music is of someone who is genuine and straightforward, and this seemed not to be.

‘I believe she was upset, I don't think she was pretending to be upset — but I do think that she was looking for a reason to explain the cancellation.

‘She didn't want to look like a cry baby or temperamental artist so she picked on Covid — maybe ten per cent of the reason and made that into the reason.

‘The initial postponement was primarily an artistic decision coloured by her problems behind the scenes and problems with the creative team, and really not much to do with Covid.'

This time round, says Roeben of Casino.org: ‘It's going to be an Adele show, but not a Vegas show.I think that last time they were trying to bring it up to a level with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga but that wall-to-wall spectacle never felt right for her.'

Now, though, comes her chance to wipe away those memories, and repair that reputational damage.

Adele has promised those who have bought tickets: ‘I'm going to give you the absolute best of me.'

But there's a real possibility that it could be for the last time.

On Wednesday night he also appeared to reference his declining financial clout, noting: 'I haven't got super model pu**y in over a month.Please send help.'

His girlfriend of the past few weeks, Brazilian 24-year-old Juliana Nalu, is a model. 

West, 45, on October 9 tweeted that he would go 'death con 3' on 'JEWISH PEOPLE,' an apparent reference to Defcon, the U.S.military defense readiness system.

His Twitter and Instagram accounts were blocked in response and his lucrative deals with Adidas, Gap, Balenciaga and eVden EVe NakLiyat Vogue all abruptly ended - but the rapper was unrepentant, .

West on Monday was , but on Tuesday an analyst said that the German-based sportswear company intends to sell existing Yeezy product designs using its own branding.

The company said it would cease production of Yeezy-branded products and halt all payments to West and his businesses, but added that it is the owner of the Yeezy design rights.

'Adidas is the sole owner of all design rights to existing products as well as previous and new colorways under the partnership,' the company said.

West on Wednesday issued his first response to their statement.

'As to Adidas, you can start to make new designs for footwear, apparel and accessories immediately,' he wrote in a text to a 'Quinn Emmanuel', screenshotted and shared to Instagram.

West has previously been represented by law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, but Alex Spiro, a partner at the firm, said he was not involved.

West 'asked me to be his attorney but the representation never formalized,' said Spiro, whose other clients include Elon Musk.'I do not represent Mr. West.' 

West, in the text, continued: 'As to Gap, the non-compete expires December 15, evDeN eVe nAKliYAT 2022.

West on Wednesday was removed from Forbes' list of billionaires, with the magazine concluding that without Adidas he is worth $400 million. 

His fortune comes from real estate, cash, his music catalog and a 5 percent stake in ex-wife Kim Kardashian's shapewear firm, Skims.

The deal with Adidas brought West an estimated $1.5 billion.

He was taken out by two 'executives' according to a statement released by the company Wednesday afternoon.

'On behalf of our customers, employees and shareholders, we are partnering with organizations that combat hate and discrimination.' 

Universal Music's Def Jam has also condemned West's comments, after splitting with the rapper last year.

They said: 'Def Jam's relationship with Ye as a recording artists, its partnership with the GOOD Music label venture and Ye's merchandise agreement with Bravado all ended in 2021.

'There is no place for antisemitism in our society.We are deeply committed to combating antisemitism and every other form of prejudice.'

Male escort husband of Phil Collins's ex demands she be thrown in jail

＜更新日時＞ 06月08日（木） 02:45

The estranged boy toy husband of Phil Collins's ex-wife Orianne Bates has asked a court to throw her in jail over unpaid bills for EVdEN eve NaKliyAt his leased $340,000 Aston Martin, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Former male escort Thomas Bates, 33, has filed a motion in their demanding Orianne, 49, is incarcerated for nearly six months for evdEN eVE NAKliyAT contempt because she failed to make up overdue lease payments after being ordered to pay by the judge - and instead jetted off to Europe.

His attorney alleges the former wife of retired pop legend Phil, 72, eVdEN eVe NaKliyaT has 'not paid a penny' and continues to 'thumb her nose' at Broward County Circuit Court in Fort Lauderdale, .

'Instead of complying with the Court's order, Wife flew to Paris and then jetted to Switzerland for the holidays, posting extremely "filtered" photographs of herself and her children all over the internet, proudly displaying her carefree lifestyle,' Bates's attorney Deborah Bianchi Tracht wrote.

'Simultaneously herewith, Husband is filing a Motion for Writ for Issuance of a Writ of Bodily Arrest…'

Former male escort Thomas Bates, 33, has filed a motion in his bitter divorce battle demanding Orianne, 49, is incarcerated for nearly six months for contempt

The attorney adds in the new filing: 'Husband requests that Wife be held in Contempt and that she be incarcerated in the Broward County jail for one hundred and seventy nine (179) days or until further order of this Court or until she pays the purge amount totally the full amount past due on the Aston Martin.'

Court records show Orianne has been ordered four times to make up the payments on the 2021 supercar, eVdEn evE naKLiyAt which she has previously demanded Bates returns because of her 'dire financial straits'.

It has a James Bond-style TB 007 license plate and costs an incredible $6,594.40 a month to lease, according to legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com.

The jail threat is the latest twist in the saga that saw the couple wed in secret in Las Vegas in August 2020 while Orianne was still living with rocker Phil at his oceanfront mansion in Miami Beach ­- but split spectacularly just 16 months later.

Bates's attorney alleges Orianne has 'not paid a penny' and instead flew to Paris 

Former tribute band guitarist Bates, who failed in his bid for a music career in Los Angeles before his secret nuptials, claims he was forced to sign the car lease at a Miami dealership and that Orianne had promised to make the payments.

But the battle of the Aston Martin is just from both sides in a divorce fight now entering its 15th month.

And as the warring couple continue to wrangle over assets, DailyMail.com can reveal the spectacular spending of Orianne as certified in her own court documents.

The Swiss-born jewelry designer bagged a $47million payout from Genesis legend Phil in their 2008 divorce.But she lost a bid for half his $40million Miami Beach mansion after reuniting with him in 2015 - then astonishingly setting up home there with Bates before the couple were evicted.

During their stay, Orianne publicly splurged on gifts for her new husband as they drove around Miami in her leased Bentley, stopping off at exclusive stores in the city's Design District.

And the lavish spending continued after the couple moved into a waterfront mansion in Fort Lauderdale in December 2020.

Bates claims Orianne insisted he lease a $340,000 Aston Martin for $6,500 per month because she wanted him to be like James Bond.It even had license plates with the number TB 007. But now he's suing her over unpaid bills for the car 

Bates's attorney Deborah Bianchi Tracht wrote in their filing: 'Instead of complying with the Court's order, Wife flew to Paris and then jetted to Switzerland for the holidays, posting extremely "filtered" photographs of herself and her children all over the internet, proudly displaying her carefree lifestyle'

Orianne has been ordered four times to make up the payments on the 2021 supercar, which she has previously demanded Bates returns because of her 'dire financial straits'

Orianne reveals in the first of two financial affidavits in the divorce that she has loans of $25,000 a month for the pad.

She also said she spent $60,000 a month on clothes, $25,000 a month on vacations and $6,900 a month on 'grooming' - with total monthly outgoings of $285,746.

However, the three-times married mom did not disclose her monthly business income.Instead, she stated she gets $5,000 a month from selling clothes and jewelry online.

Orianne paid $5.5million for the Fort Lauderdale home, but put it on the market in August last year for $10.95million after Bates moved out months before.However, it has failed to sell and on Monday she dropped the price to $8.

The spectacular six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home with a stunning pool is financed with a $3million loan from Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, the legal papers reveal.

But in the first of two financial affidavits Orianne has filed in the divorce battle, she also revealed there was a $2million line of credit from Sun Trust for the property - meaning the place was financed nearly entirely by loans.

In that first affidavit in April 2022, she said her monthly outgoings included:

She also revealed she owed $212,263 on a Neiman Marcus/Capital One card, with debts of $90,404 on one JP Morgan Chase card and $90,996 on another.

In an amended financial affidavit filed in July 2022, she reduced many of those figures, but still came up with total monthly expenses of $146,555.

Orianne later testified she had further drastically reduced her outgoings to $6,000 a month, according to a summary by Judge Natasha DePrimo in the most recent ruling over the Aston Martin on January 13.

Bates's attorney had cited Orianne's higher amount in the latest enforcement bid.

And Judge DePrimo said in her summary: 'She (Orianne) testified that they are now $6,000 per month, but no specific evidence was introduced substantiating the $140,000 reduction in expenses….

'The court finds that there was insufficient evidence presented as to the Wife's inability to pay and maintain the status quo.'

 

DailyMail.com can reveal the spectacular spending of Orianne, including a monthly mortgage payment of $24,729, house employees for $19,500 and $60,000 in clothing 

Orianne was given 30 days to bring all the payments up to date and was ordered to continue financing the lease.

DailyMail.com Orianne picked up Bates from a male escort site where he advertised himself as a 'sexy intellectual, with degrees in philosophy and political science.

But once she moved him into rock star Phil's mansion their fiery relationship saw her physically assault her new husband 'on several occasions' - once threatening to cut off his 'private parts', according to court documents.

Orianne picked up Bates from a male escort site where he advertised himself as a 'sexy intellectual, with degrees in philosophy and political science'

Bates was on the books of a company called Cowboys 4 Angels, using the name Ryan, while he was in Los Angeles, after moving from Florida to try to make it in the music business.

But he headed back to his home state when things didn't work out as planned.It is understood the couple had their first meeting at an exclusive five-star hotel in Miami Beach.

On the Cowboys 4 Angels website, 'Ryan in Los Angeles' was touted as 'the classic, charismatic Los Angeles gentleman, who is definitely guaranteed to exceed your expectations and show you an unforgettable experience!'

He was pictured sporting designer stubble and showing off his tanned six-pack with an open plaid shirt and with one hand behind his head.

'Originally from the east coast, this sexy intellectual is well-educated, having obtained collegiate degrees in Philosophy and Political Science, further reinforcing his ability to thrive in social and formal situations requiring stimulating, impressive and thought-provoking conversation,' continued the blurb.

'Ryan currently works as a personal trainer and musician… some of Ryan's main interests include art, fashion, traveling and live music.'

Orianne - whose maiden name is Cevey - was living with Collins when she allegedly selected Bates after he had returned to Florida, where court papers suggest he was still working as an escort.

Bates's legal team revealed how they first got together in answers to Orianne's divorce petition.

'At the time the parties met, Husband was employed by an escort service,' they wrote.

'The Wife selected Husband through the escort service and insisted on dating him.The parties' relationship rapidly progressed into a meaningful romantic relationship. Wife persuaded Husband to leave the escort service to marry her.'

'Husband moved from California to Florida on or about July 2020 and rented an apartment in Delray Beach, Florida.After the parties married, Wife insisted that Husband leave the sanctuary of his Delray apartment and move into the Collins residence in Miami with Wife.

'The Wife clearly understood that Husband's life would be turned upside down and the Husband and Wife would be sued by Phil Collins once Husband moved into the Collins residence.'

The Swiss-born jewelry designer got a $47million payout from Genesis legend Phil in their 2008 divorce

Bates claims he received the alleged threat to slice off his genitals after returning to the couple's new Fort Lauderdale mansion from spending Thanksgiving 2021 with his parents at their home in nearby Lighthouse Point.

He arrived to find Orianne had 'secretly removed' his clothes and other possessions and he asked for them back.

'Wife, who has a ferocious temper, threatened Husband with bodily harm (by cutting off his private parts) when he asked for his clothes and personal property', said his filing.

'The Wife, who has earned a 3rd degree black belt designation and is trained in boxing, previously physically assaulted Husband on several occasions prior to separation. On one occasion, Husband eVdEN eVE naKliYAT had to scream for the housekeeper to help him exit the house to avoid Wife's assault.

'Husband voluntarily vacated the marital residence for his safety.'

Orianne's attorneys have attacked Bates during the battle, writing: 'The Husband has not only syphoned funds from the Wife, but the Wife is now heavily encumbered and has limited cash flow.She has been relying on assets to meet expenses.

'Unfortunately the Wife has hit the wall.'

Spirit Airlines says expects DOJ decision on JetBlue merger in…

＜更新日時＞ 06月08日（木） 02:19

Feb 7 (Reuters) - Spirit Airlines Inc said on Tuesday it expects U.S.antitrust regulators to decide whether to allow the low-cost carrier to proceed with its $3.8 billion merger with JetBlue Airways Corp in the "next 30 days or so."

"We are now waiting to see whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed suit to block the deal or allows us to proceed," Spirit CEO Edward Christie said during an investor evDEN eve nAKLiYAT call.

The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

JetBlue prevailed in a months-long bidding war for eVDEn eVE nAKLiyat Spirit Airlines after the ultra-low-cost carrier accepted its deal.

Concerns about approval for the combined airline was amplified after the DOJ filed a lawsuit last year asking a judge to break up JetBlue's "Northeast Alliance" partnership with American Airlines, arguing it would lead to higher fares for consumers.

Spirit had cited the Justice Department lawsuit as a reason to fear regulators blocking its sale to JetBlue when it was trying to persuade Spirit shareholders to back the deal with Frontier Airlines Holding Inc instead.

JetBlue had acknowledged that the regulatory process could be drawn out and it did not expect the deal to be completed before December 2023.

Spirit's shares were up 1.3% at $19.9 in morning trade after the carrier posted better-than-expected quarterly results on Monday.(Reporting by Kannaki Deka in Bengaluru; Editing by Shailesh Kuber)

Louisiana slams EPA over lack of urgency on carbon-project approvals

＜更新日時＞ 06月07日（水） 23:00

By Liz Hampton

Feb 9 (Reuters) - The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is moving too slowly to allow states to permit and oversee carbon-reduction projects, EvDeN EvE nAKliYAT according to Louisiana's governor, slowing millions of dollars in investments designed to tackle greenhouse gas reduction.

Louisiana and other top oil-producing states say they can speed up permitting of carbon sequestration projects if allowed to handle decisions that currently fall under the EPA.There are dozens of these projects with multi-million dollar price tags proposed by energy firms around the United States.

Developers would benefit from broadening permitting of so-called Class VI carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) wells to states, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said in a letter last month to EPA Administrator Michael Regan seen by Reuters.The process has lacked clarity and a clear timeline, Edwards wrote.

"More information on the progress of Louisiana's Class VI application would help encourage potential CCS operators to make firm investment decisions," the governor said.

Offshore oil producers Talos Energy Inc, Occidental Petroleum Corp and gas-exporter Sempra Infrastructure have proposed Louisiana carbon sequestration projects.The state's energy regulator has received little information from the EPA on the transfer timeline or process, a spokesperson said on Thursday.

"We are now seeing concepts begin to turn into investment decisions - but a recurring question is if and when Louisiana will receive primacy," or taking over permits and regulation from the EPA, Edwards wrote in a letter dated Jan. 18.

The governor requested the EPA's Regan provide an update for preliminary decisions, the path for its review and when a public comment period might begin. Edwards also asked for EvdEn eVe nakliYAT a designated point of contact within the EPA office for updates on the application going forward.

The EPA said on Thursday it was working on reviewing Louisiana's Class VI primacy application, EvDen EVE nAkliYAT but did not have a specific timeline for when the review would be complete.

Edwards' office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

STRUGGLE FOR PERMIT OVERSIGHT

The uncertainty over primacy comes as the Biden administration is pushing for investments in clean energy and lower-carbon fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels.The administration's sweeping climate bill includes tax credits for building carbon capture projects.

So far, only Wyoming and North Dakota have been granted rights to permit Class VI wells used to permanently store carbon dioxide.Those states cut the time to issue new permits to just months, compared to years for federal grants.

Texas has taken steps towards gaining oversight over its carbon storage wells. If you have any queries with regards to where and how to use evdEN EvE nAkliYaT, you can speak to us at the site. A spokesperson for the state's oil and gas regulator did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Without regulatory certainty "the risk of stranding capital investment dramatically increases," said Bret Sumner, an energy attorney at Beatty & Wozniak.

"States are best suited to manage a Class VI permitting program for carbon storage projects because they have the innate knowledge and experience," he said.(Reporting by Liz Hampton in Denver Editing by Marguerita Choy)
