Costco’s popular Kirkland diapers shifting suppliersSecurity & foreign policy: Pakistan's volatile yearArsenal moved into second place in the Premier League table with a 1-0 win over Ipswich at the Emirates. In their final fixture of 2024, Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the game midway through the opening period. Arsenal’s victory takes them back to within six points of leaders Liverpool, having played one match more than the Reds, and a point clear of Chelsea following their Boxing Day defeat to Fulham. Ipswich, although much improved in the second half, have now lost five of their last six games, and remain just one place off the bottom of the table, three points away from safety. Mikel Arteta’s men have been rocked by Bukayo Saka’s hamstring injury which could keep the England winger, who has nine goals and 13 assists this season, out of action for the next two months. Gabriel Martinelli was handed the unenviable task of filling Saka’s shoes on Arsenal’s right-hand side and the Brazilian was involved in the only goal of the evening. The Ipswich defence failed to deal with Martinelli’s cross, with the ball falling to Leandro Trossard on the opposite side of the area. Trossard fought his way to the byline before fizzing his cross into the box for Havertz to convert from a matter of yards. It was Havertz’s third goal in four matches, his 12th of the season, and no less than the hosts, who at that stage of the match had enjoyed a staggering 91.4 per cent of the possession, deserved. Heading into Friday’s fixture, Arsenal had lost only one of their last 75 Premier League games when they had opened the scoring, and their triumph here rarely looked in doubt following Havertz’s strike. Havertz thought he had doubled Arsenal’s lead with 34 minutes gone when he converted Gabriel Jesus’ cross. But Jesus – handed his third successive start for the first time in a year – strayed into an offside position in the build-up. When referee Darren England blew for half-time, Ipswich had failed to touch the ball in Arsenal’s box, becoming just the second side to do so in the Premier League this season. Nottingham Forest were the other, away at Liverpool, before they went on to inflict Arne Slot’s sole defeat of his tenure so far. And for all of Arsenal’s possession, while they held just a one-goal advantage, Ipswich knew they were still in the game. An encouraging start to the second half for the Tractor Boys ensued, albeit without testing David Raya in the Arsenal goal. Shortly after the hour mark, Gabriel should have settled any growing Emirates nerves when he arrived unmarked to Declan Rice’s corner, but the defender headed wide of Arijanet Muric’s post when it looked easier to score. Martin Odegaard then forced a fine fingertip save from Muric at his near post after a mazy run and shot from the Arsenal skipper. Rice’s stinging goal-bound volley from the following corner was blocked by Dara O’Shea as Arsenal pushed for a game-killing second. Havertz should have tapped home Trossard’s header but he fluffed his lines. And moments later, substitute Mikel Merino’s effort was diverted from danger by a diving Muric. Ipswich looked to catch Arsenal on the counter, but the match ended without them registering a single effort on Raya’s goal. Ipswich fans goaded their opponents with chants of “boring, boring Arsenal”, but it was the Gunners who enjoyed the last laugh as they saw out 2024 with a win which keeps the pressure on Liverpool.
He said: "I've had the most incredible opportunity to serve in a role that not only challenged me, but allowed me to grow, to learn and to make meaningful contributions alongside a talented and passionate team. "I am immensely grateful for the support, collaboration and friendships formed during these last four years. It's been a remarkable journey, and I look forward to carrying the skills and insights I've gained into my next appointments." The Lieutenant also highlighted how he had the honour of playing "a small part" in the April 2021 funeral of Prince Philip, the June 2022 Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth and the monarch's funeral three months later, as well as the May 2023 coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla - and "all the weird and wonderful in between". He went on: "There were engagements when our whole Household was involved, every single person, and there were times when I was quite rightly standing alone, calling the shots and backing the shots I'd taken. "It's now time to swap the top hat and tails for 'daily working rig' once again, and it's the right thing to do." He is leaving his role as equerry to return to his post in the Royal Navy, where he has served for nearly 24 years, according to the Daily Mail. Equerries are officers from one of the three branches of the Armed Forces who are chosen to assist senior royals in their respective royal duties, from organising public engagements to arranging their official schedules. Around six equerries work in the Royal Household at any given time and are appointments generally lasting about three years. Minnie Driver has joined the growing number of Hollywood stars going fresh-faced. 'The Serpent Queen' actress, 54, showed off make-up free selfies online and opened up on Instagram about why she regularly goes "without a scrap" of cosmetics. She captioned the pictures: "Ok, I'm pretty vain, so posting pictures without a scrap of makeup and un-touched up, are rare. "The only reason I'm doing it now is because I've been ill, I have felt everyone of my years recently and I'm pretty astonished that my friend Keren can make me look like this: Christmas glow without the 5 mulled wines." Minnie's fans filled the comments section of her post with praise for her "normalising" the make-up free look. It comes days after Jamie Lee Curtis honoured Pamela Anderson for going make-up free on red carpets. The 'Halloween' actress, who turned 66 last week, shared a barefaced picture on her social media to pay tribute to the 57-year-old former Baywatch star's continuing fresh-faced look which she has been sporting on red carpets since last year. Jamie captioned her image: "Just out of the shower selfie. Honouring @pamelaanderson @lastshowgirl and her no make-up ownership of self. "Sober. Strong. Steady on." Jamie was referring to her new film 'The Last Showgirl' in which she stars alongside Pamela. The actress added about her look: "Just noticed that it looks like I have mascara on, which is clearly a remnant of my workday yesterday. Clearly, mommy didn't wash her face very well." Jamie was one of Pamela's cheerleaders when the former pin-up went viral for her fresh-faced look at Paris Fashion Week couture shows last year. Pamela told last year how her decision to go fresh-faced was sparked by the passing of her make-up artist Alexis Vogel, who died in 2019 of breast cancer. She also decided to go "against the grain" by defying a trend for heavy make-up, saying the move felt "freeing, fun and a little rebellious".

The players will warm up in “Antonio 9” jerseys and walk on to the field in tops adorning his name, West Ham said. The club will put the walk-out tops up for auction along with every match jersey worn against Wolves, with the proceeds going to medical charities and matched by the club’s board. Antonio, a 34-year-old Jamaica international, is recovering in hospital after undergoing surgery on what West Ham described as a “lower limb fracture.” He was involved in an accident outside London on Saturday, after which he was hospitalized and kept under close supervision. Unverified images of a heavily damaged Ferrari were shared on social media. It was not known if it was the car involved in the accident. “He remains in everyone’s thoughts as he continues his rehabilitation,” West Ham said of Antonio. “Everyone at the club would like to reiterate their heartfelt thanks to the first responders, emergency services, air ambulance staff and the NHS (National Health Service) for the incredible support given to Michail in the wake of the accident.” Antonio has made more than 300 appearances for West Ham since joining the club from Nottingham Forest in 2015.
