Rumours of a new Oasis album being announced live on radio tomorrow are wide of the mark - despite a DJ claiming there was "massive news" coming. Fans of Liam and Noel Gallagher have been getting excited and rumours and social media claims have been growing all weekend after a Radio X DJ Dan O'Connell said on air something supersonic was coming out. On Friday, he said : "I got a message from very important people at Radio X. They told me to make sure I mention that on Monday morning Chris Moyles has something big for Oasis fans. If that is you there is something massive happening." Tik Tok videos and instagram posts then also claimed to have snippets of new audio from the band from a mixing desk, with others claiming a new single would even be played this week and a new album to follow ahead of their reunion tour next year. But sources close to the band say the announcement will actually only be good news to anyone still without tickets for the UK tour. The insider said: "The rumour got a life of its own and in reality you are looking at something like prizes and some kind of big Oasis giveaway or competition. It is still something to celebrate but it is not the big announcement some fans were hoping for."

This is not the first time rumours have gone into overdrive about new material. Liam himself was forced to distance himself from a new Oasis album after he made flippant comments on X, formerly twitter. In September, when one fan asked “Is it true that Oasis will have a new album???”, Liam replied: “Yep it’s already finished.” He also responded to a fan asking if a new record was “in the air”, to which he said, “It’s in the bag mate f*** the air”. But dismissing his earlier teasers, Liam said a week ago there’s “no Oasis album in the making”. Responding to a fan news account that claimed the brothers were “working intently” on a new album, Liam added: “I was f***ing joking remember them and the reason being because everyone is a little uptight these days I’m sorry if I have upset anyone but f*** me it was a laugh.” Previously Noel has also said he has new songs in demo form, which some close to the band now believe will not be for his High Flying Birds band but instead for a new Oasis album next year. The Oasis reunion UK tour kicks off in Cardiff on July 4, 2025, and finishes at Wembley in September. There are also dates in North America and Australia next year. The full line up for Oasis on stage is also yet to be confirmed with Gem Archer, Andy Bell and original member Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs expected to be on stage with Noel and Liam. Richard Ashcroft is the main support act. Richard said: “As a fan from day one I was buzzing for many reasons when the news of Oasis’s return was announced. I can say with no exaggeration that the songwriting talent of Noel and Liam’s pure spirit as a lead singer helped to inspire me to create some of my best work. It was the perfection of ‘Live Forever’ that forced me to try and write my own. They dared to be great, made the dreams we had real and I will always remember those days with joy. Now it’s time to create more memories and I’m ready to bring it. See you next summer. Music is power.” Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .

NORTH CAROLINA — If you live in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, or Tennessee and have damage to your home or personal property related to Hurricane Helene, FEMA may be able to help with temporary housing expenses, basic home repairs or other essential disaster-related needs that are not covered by insurance. What happens after I apply for FEMA assistance? Registered survivors will be contacted by a FEMA-contracted inspector within about ten days of applying to schedule an appointment for an inspection, which generally takes about 30-40 minutes. The inspector’s call may come from an out-of-state or “unknown” number, and they may ask you to verify personally identifiable information by phone. FEMA inspectors make several attempts to contact you through phone call or text to schedule an appointment. If FEMA is unable to get in touch, you will be sent a letter indicating your application cannot be processed further – to proceed, you must call FEMA’s Helpline at 1-800-621-3362 to confirm your contact information and need for assistance. There is no fee for the inspection. Why do I need a FEMA home inspection? FEMA home inspections help determine whether a home is safe, sanitary, and livable, and to verify disaster-caused damage. Specifically, the FEMA inspector will: Verify your name, address, contact information, and insurance; Confirm the individuals living in your disaster-damaged residence; bedrooms occupied; clothing, medical, dental, transportation, or miscellaneous losses; and items you purchased as a result of the disaster (e.g., chainsaw, dehumidifier); Assess your pre-disaster residence’s structure, furniture, and appliances for damage caused by the disaster, as well as undamaged items; Document your pre-disaster residence’s square footage, foundation, and structural type (e.g., one or multiple stories). Record the cause of damage, applicable water levels, impacted utilities, and accessibility features; and Confirm with you that all damage has been viewed, and describe next steps in the FEMA process. Not all losses require an inspection. You should also monitor your mail or your FEMA Online Account (www.disasterassistance.gov) and respond to any requests from FEMA for additional information quickly. How do I know if the person at my door is a legitimate FEMA inspector? Always ask an inspector for identification and never give out your personal information like your social security number. If you are not shown photo identification, then do not allow the inspection. Disasters often bring out scam artists who prey on the needs of disaster survivors. Government officials will never ask for money or other forms of compensation for the inspection. What do I need to be prepared to show my FEMA inspector? Have the following ready for your inspection: § Photo identification. If you lost your id in the disaster, let the inspector know. FEMA has other ways to verify your identification. § Proof of ownership/occupancy of damaged residence (structural insurance, tax bill, mortgage payment book/utility bill). § Insurance documents: home and/or auto (structural insurance/auto declaration sheet). § List of household occupants living in residence at time of disaster. § All disaster-related damages to both real and personal property. I won’t be home during the time of my scheduled inspection. Can someone be there in my place? Yes. You can have anyone like a trusted neighbor, family member or friend that is 18 years of age or older handle the inspection if you are unavailable. What happens after the inspector visits? Once the inspection process is complete, your case will be reviewed by FEMA, and you will receive a letter outlining the decision about your claim. If you qualify for FEMA assistance, FEMA will send you a check by mail or deposit it directly into your bank account, depending on the method of payment you chose on your application. If you receive money for rental assistance, be sure to keep documentation and receipts of payments. If you pay to stay somewhere, you should have a written landlord/tenant agreement for the time frame you use the assistance. If you do not qualify for a FEMA grant, you will receive a letter explaining why you may not be eligible and will be given a chance to appeal the decision. Your appeal rights will be described in the letter. Appeals must be in writing and mailed within 60 days of FEMA’s decision. Can I appeal a decision? You have the right to appeal any FEMA decision or award amount by sending documents that show you qualify and need more help, like estimates for repairs, receipts, bills, etc. Each decision letter you receive from FEMA explains types of documents that may help you appeal your FEMA’s decision or award amount for that type of assistance. Many times, an application is determined “not approved” because of missing documentation like proof of identity, proof of occupancy, proof the damaged property was your primary residence and others. For more information, visit: How to Appeal a FEMA Decision | FEMA.gov How can I submit documentation? You can visit DisasterAssistance.gov to upload your documentation online and check the status of your application online. You can also call 800-621-3362 for assistance or visit a Disaster Recovery Center. What If I applied for FEMA assistance and was later evicted? If you have already applied for FEMA assistance but were later evicted due to damage to other parts of your home, you should call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 or visit a local FEMA Disaster Recovery Center (DRC), if available. You can contact FEMA even if you were previously not approved for FEMA assistance and FEMA may still be able to help. Check the FEMA App or visit the FEMA DRC Locator to find the locations and hours of operation. You will need to provide FEMA with documentation demonstrating your eviction was due to the disaster. Do I need to pay FEMA back for any financial assistance I received? No. In most cases, FEMA grants do not have to be paid back. If you have insurance that covers your temporary housing costs but ask FEMA to advance you some money to help you pay for those costs while your insurance is delayed, you will need to pay that money back to FEMA after you receive your insurance settlement. FEMA assistance is not taxable income and won’t affect eligibility for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, or other federal benefits. What if I can’t rebuild my house with the money FEMA is offering me? FEMA Home Repair Assistance is limited and is intended to provide funds for basic repairs to make the home livable. It is not the same as insurance and in most cases, it cannot restore your home to its pre-disaster condition.

A South Australian man’s festive cheer may be a little dimmer after allegedly drink-driving his Christmas-themed car through a busy public space in Adelaide. On Sunday evening about 8.20pm, a grey Mazda Astina decked out in Christmas lights, ornaments and other decorations was spotted driving along a footpath in Henley Square, a busy public space restricted to pedestrians and cyclists only, in Adelaide. A man will face court after driving his Christmas-themed car through Henley Square. Police were called to the scene and began speaking to the driver, a 65-year-old man from Croydon Park, who explained to authorities he had taken a wrong turn. He was asked to take a breath test, which returned a positive result of 0.071. The man was reported for drink-driving and driving in a dangerous manner. His car has been defected and impounded for 28 days. The man will appear in court at a later date.

A soiled pair of underwear and a rough haircut were amongst the complaints investigated by police as potential non-crime hate incidents (NCHI) it has been revealed. The first incident occurred in September 2021 with North Wales Police receiving the complaint that neighbours had “hung a very large, soiled pair of underpants on their washing line” for the past two months.” The force categorised the complaints as an NCHI as the alleged victim had an Italian surname and the incident happened in the wake of Italy’s victory over England in the European Championship final , the Telegraph reports . The incident summary reports: “Known offenders have hung a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line, they have been there for over two months. “The IP [injured party] believes that [they] are aimed at her because she has an Italian surname and it is in regards to the football.” In the year leading up to this June, more than 13,000 such complaints were recorded by police across the country. These included a “rough haircut” given to a Russian-speaking Lithuanian after a discussion with his barber about the ongoing war in Ukraine . Other reports include a German woman being called a “rottweiler” and a suspected homophobic remark after a man was called a “leonard” during a hedge dispute. A primary school-aged child was also investigated for calling another a “retard” and a secondary school pupil was spoken to after telling a classmate that they smelt “like fish”. On Thursday, the head of the police standards body warned that the way police recorded non-crime incidents threatened to undermine public confidence in officers . Lord Herbert, chairman of the College of Policing, said trust was being damaged by the perception that forces were getting involved in “mere disputes” at the expense of tackling crimes such as shoplifting and anti-social behaviour. According to the College of Policing, a non-crime hate incident is “any incident where a crime has not been committed, but where it is perceived by the reporting person or any other person that the incident was motivated by hostility or prejudice.” Hostility or prejudice can be based on factors such as race, sexuality, religion, disability or gender and can be recorded where the alleged behaviour falls short of criminal activity, but the surrounding circumstances suggest that the behaviour may contribute to – or become evidence of – a course of criminal conduct.

It is a shift that has tested the foundations of the traditional political establishments and kept the political class at the edge of their seats as a growing wave of discontent, open criticism and hostility from the populace gains root. And as President William Ruto, opposition chief Raila Odinga and their lieutenants mull ways to win back public support and rally Kenyans to their course, the rebellion is growing from several quarters. While the backbone of the pushback against the political class is taking place majorly in social media, its spillage has cascaded to some constituencies where several leaders, especially in the Mt Kenya region, are facing a backlash for backing the Kenya Kwanza administration. To them, even visiting their constituencies has become a tall order since they participated in the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. So bad is the rebellion that at the weekend, Kenyans on X rallied in their numbers to push for a trend to weaken Raila's African Union Commission chairmanship bid in an attempt to dissuade African Heads of State from backing the experienced politician. As the #Raila Must Fall trend dominated social media circles, ODM released a statement to defend its alliance with Kenya Kwanza, a move observers believe is a sign of the heat the party is facing for its dalliance with the President. "As we move forward, let every Kenyan know that ODM is committed to the aspirations of the people and will continue to be a beacon of hope, integrity and progress in our nation's politics," said acting party leader Anyang' Nyong'o. Yesterday, a senior ODM official confided in The Sunday Standard that the backlash within the party and from the public has rattled the party's ranks. READ: How Raila's dalliance with Ruto might influence 2027 contest "It is true Kenyans are unhappy and, as a party, we must tread very carefully. We also noticed the lack of interest in the party elections we held about two weeks ago. Very few members turned up, and their concern was our support for controversial policies," said the leader. Observers believe the pushback by Kenyans is already getting into the skin of the politicians as they struggle to contain a grouping that once danced to their tunes with little questions. “There is growing public dissatisfaction and the pressure of looming re-election campaigns. The President faces the critical task of regaining trust and delivering on his promises,” says Gitile Naituli, a lecturer at Multimedia University. This week, a seemingly frustrated President lashed out at those he claimed were on a mission to derail all the projects his administration is pursuing. While on a development tour of Taita Taveta county early in the week, the President’s frustration was evident as he questioned how the public sentiment had shifted so drastically against him. Stay informed. Subscribe to our newsletter Critics have intensely scrutinised several of his flagship projects such as Taifa Care, affordable housing, the national livestock vaccination campaign, the university funding model and the contentious Adani agreements. His choice of words, body language and the social media mockery that followed his speech highlight the growing discontent and rebellion against his administration. In an attempt to address the backlash, Ruto equated the wave of dissent to an evil spirit undermining national progress. “Wakenya tafadhali, kuna pepo chafu ya kupinga kila kitu. Affordable housing, chanjo ya ng’ombe, kubadilisha mfumo wa university zetu, hata matoleo kanisani, kila kitu inapinga. What is this, surely?” Kenyans please, there is a spirit of opposining everything. Affordable housing, livestock vaccination, university funding model, church offerings, everything!), he said during the groundbreaking of the Devki Iron Processing Project. In social media, disconnected Kenyans have been making memes to mock the Kenya Kwanza administration and its policies. The clergy, who overwhelmingly supported his presidential campaign, have also joined in the growing chorus of criticism, urging Ruto to realign his administration. ALSO READ: With the looming Ruto-Raila party, focus shifts from Mt Kenya region A few voices in the Judiciary have also come out to question the country's priorities over the delays in reconstituting the IEBC. With the growing discontent, every decision Ruto makes has come under intense scrutiny. While his allies have called for patience, urging Kenyans to allow more time for the policies to bear fruit, many citizens argue that two years is enough to judge the Kenya Kwanza administration’s performance. This is the same predicament Raila has found himself in as social media trolls unleash their rebellion on him and his troops who are now defending the Kenya Kwanza administration. “After he joined government, some Kenyans feel that Odinga betrayed his followers and doesn’t deserve the AUC seat,” Prof Naituli observes. Kenyans opposed to Raila’s AU bid have rallied their support behind Djibouti’s former Foreign Affairs Minister Mahmoud Ali Youssouf. “What is happening across the social spectrum where people are venting out is as a result of an accumulation of unsolved issues that negatively impact on their lives,” Joseph Omondi, a social analyst and a governance expert, says. “The sense of political betrayal has disoriented the people who feel that the government was unwilling to address their social and economic plight, which has disrupted their normal way of life,” Mr Omondi adds. He says failure by the government, which is mandated to resolve people’s problems and restore their hope, has “given rise to this new phenomenon of sudden bouts of impulsive, aggressive, violent or angry verbal outbursts amongst the citizenry, with the anger being directed to the government and leaders.” Omondi says by resorting to social media to hurl insults at leaders and institutions of governance, the people were only venting their anger which has been accumulating. “By using social media to express their feelings, victims undergo a therapeutic and healing process as they feel they have relieved what was ailing them in their hearts,” Omondi notes. He says mounting anger and a sense of betrayal by the government has been witnessed amongst residents of the Mt Kenya region following the ouster of Rigathi Gachagua from the position of Deputy President. Andrew Nyabuto, another social and political analyst, says the government had failed to read and interpret the indicators of social strife and take remedial action. “Aristotle, a leading philosopher, said psychology is part of the soul. What we are experiencing now are behavioural problems associated with some deep-rooted socio-psychological issues that have remained unaddressed for a very long time,” Nyabuto says, adding: “When a cup is full to the brim, it overflows. The anger we are witnessing from people and which is manifested in the posts being made in social media indicate that their souls are ailing, and that is why they are emitting anger.” Julius Kariuki, a political strategist, says the country’s leadership had failed to establish a convergence point with the people, creating a breakdown of communication and enhancing a sense of anger and betrayal among the people. “There is an absence of a meeting point between the rulers and the governed to address pressing social issues which are exerting pressure on the people,” Dr Kariuki says. ALSO READ: Ruto-Raila alliance: Will it lead to political survival or ruin? “A good leader at this age and era must seek to establish effective channels of communication with the people to sustain a harmonious working relationship and also maintain the people’s trust and confidence in the leadership,” Kariuki opines. Former Molo MP Njenga Mungai says the country’s political landscape had rapidly changed over the past few years due to the advent of social media platforms. “The mounting socio-economic and political problems in the country, coupled with the use of social media to convey information, poses a great challenge to those in leadership to effectively manage their relationship with the people,” Mungai says. Mungai who is the chairman of the Jubilee Party’s council of elders, attributed Kenyans' frustrations to unfulfilled aspirations and broken promises made by their leaders. In the Mt Kenya region, several leaders who supported Gachagua's impeachment are walking on a troubled path as the wave of criticism continues to cascade across the region. Residents accuse their leaders of betraying the country by failing to address critical issues affecting the public. This, perhaps, is the reason members of Kirogo village in Murang'a denied Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's allies to read his speech during the burial of an MCA two weeks ago. Others who received a cold welcome included President Ruto's adviser and former Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria. Kuria, however, pulled through his speech despite murmurs in the crowd.S&P/TSX composite down Monday, U.S. stocks continue to rise

Romania's far-right candidate Calin Georgescu on Saturday urged voters to go to polling stations despite the country's top court having scrapped the presidential elections over alleged irregularities amid claims of Russian interference. The court's shock ruling, coming just before the presidential run-off which had been due Sunday, opens the way for a new electoral process starting from scratch in the EU and NATO member state bordering war-torn Ukraine. The annulment follows a spate of intelligence documents declassified by the presidency this week detailing allegations against Georgescu and Russia, including claims of "massive" social media promotion and cyberattacks. Georgescu -- who unexpectedly topped last month's first round of voting -- called for voters on Sunday "to wait to be welcomed, to wait for democracy to win through their power", said a statement from his team. "Mr. Calin Georgescu believes that voting is an earned right," said the statement. "That is why he believes that Romanians have the right to be in front of the polling stations tomorrow." Georgescu himself would go to a polling station near Bucharest at 0600 GMT, said his team. Earlier Saturday, police raided three houses in Brasov city in central Romania as part of the investigation "in connection with crimes of voter corruption, money laundering, computer forgery". Among the houses searched was that of businessman Bogdan Peschir, a TikTok user who according to the declassified documents allegedly paid $381,000 to those involved in the promotion of Georgescu, Romanian media reported. Peschir has compared his support for Georgescu to the world's richest man Elon Musk's backing of US president-elect Donald Trump. Little-known outsider Georgescu, a 62-year-old former senior civil servant, was favourite to win the second round on Sunday against centrist pro-EU mayor Elena Lasconi, 52, according to several polls. But the constitutional court on Friday unanimously decided to annul the entire electoral process as it was "marred... by multiple irregularities and violations of electoral legislation". President Klaus Iohannis said on Saturday that he had discussed with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, and they agreed on the "need to strengthen the security of social media". The European Commission announced earlier this week that it had stepped up monitoring TikTok after Romania's authorities alleged "preferential treatment" of Georgescu on the platform -- a claim the company has denied. Following the court's decision, the United States said it had faith in Romania's institutions and called for a "peaceful democratic process". Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on X branded the vote's cancellation an "attempt at rigging the outcome" and "denying the will of the people". Georgescu called it "a formalised coup d'etat" and said democracy was "under attack". His team on Saturday declined to comment on the raids, saying they "will not comment or provide answers until we have exact data". Georgescu and another far-right party, the AUR, have said they plan to appeal the decision to stop the voting to the High Court of Cassation and Justice. A past admirer of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Georgescu, an EU and NATO sceptic, in recent days had reframed himself as "ultra pro-Trump," vowing to put Romania "on the world map" and cut aid for neighbouring Ukraine. In an interview with US broadcaster Sky News on Saturday, Georgescu said there were no links between him and Russia. Political scientist Costin Ciobanu told AFP that the annulment has "further polarised Romanian society". With trust in institutions and the ruling class already low, the vote's cancellation poses a "major danger that Romanians will think that it doesn't matter how they vote", Ciobanu added. Elsewhere in the EU, Austria annulled presidential elections in 2016 because of procedural irregularities. In Romania, a new government is expected to set another date for the presidential vote. In last weekend's legislative elections, the ruling Social Democrats came top. But far-right parties made big gains, securing an unprecedented third of the ballots on mounting anger over soaring inflation and fears over Russia's war in Ukraine. In a joint appeal on Wednesday, the Social Democrats and three other pro-EU parties -- together making up an absolute majority in parliament -- signed an agreement to form a coalition, promising "stability". bur-jza/jj
