A body has been found in the search for a former British soldier who went missing while fighting in Ukraine. Ex-paratrooper Daniel Burke, 36, of south Manchester, was reported missing by his family on 16 August after he had travelled to join the fighting in 2022. Greater Manchester Police said on Saturday that officers were working with Mr Burke’s family and the Ukrainian authorities to identify the body found and to bring him back to the UK. Mr Burke’s mother Diane Sniath told the BBC that “this is the moment I have been dreading”. His family told the broadcaster that the body was found in Zaporizhzhia, which lies about 27 miles from the front line. Detective Superintendent Lewis Hughes who is GMP’s Lead for Disaster Victim Identification said: “This is an upsetting time for Daniel’s family, we have family liaison officers in contact with the family and offering support. “My team and I are working with the Ukrainian authorities to make formal identification with a view to repatriating Daniel following that process. “Daniel’s family have asked for privacy at this difficult time.” Mr Burke, who previously served with the Parachute Regiment, told the BBC on 6 August that he planned to join a Ukrainian army unit to fight against Russian forces. In 2019 he spent eight months in prison accused of terror offences after going to Syria to fight with Kurdish militia against the Islamic State group. All the charges against him were dropped in 2020, the BBC reported. At least 10 other British men have died in Ukraine since the Russian invasion began last February, according to the Foreign Office. Last week, tributes were paid to former Scots guard Jordan Chadwick, 31, from Burnley, who left the UK to travel to the country in early October 2022 to “support freedom”. And in August, Sam Newey, 22, died while serving on the front line in Eastern Ukraine on Wednesday, according to his brother, who said he was “proud” of his sibling.

Ed Sheeran fans were heartbroken after the singer's concert in Las Vegas was cancelled at the 11th hour due to safety concerns. The 32-year-old chart-topper announced the disappointing news on his Instagram that he would be unable to play at the Allegiant Stadium. "I can’t believe I’m typing this but there’s been some challenges encountered during the load in of our vegas show," he wrote in the post. "It’s impossible to go forward with the show. I’m so sorry. I know everyone has travelled in for this and I wish I could change it." Though he did announce when he would return to perform at the venue next month for the rescheduled show date. "The gig will be postponed to Saturday October 28th and all purchased tickets will be valid for that date. I’m so, so sorry x." Fans took to the comment section of the post to express their sadness that the show didn't go ahead last minute after turning up to the venue. One person wrote: "I spent so much to travel here, I still love you Ed. I'm heartbroken I won’t get to see you." "Ouch.. this hurt my soul! i can’t wait for October i have a feeling you are going to make it unforgettable," another person said. Someone else added: "I totally understand that things happen, but we bought these tickets a year ago and flew in from Hawaii for this. I’m not sure if we will be able to fly back out here again! Super disappointing." "I'm sure everyone involved has done everything possible to make the show happen, but sometimes things just won't work... so sorry for you, the people in your team and everyone who came to see your show," a fourth person replied. In a follow-up Instagram post, Sheeran provided "a little bit more context" as to what caused the gig to be cancelled. He posted a snippet of an article from The Sun that detailed how there had been a "flooring problem," where the rubber tiling had become "unstuck" and resulted in the towers slipping by a foot each overnight. Despite engineers tearing the rig apart and reinforcing the towers, the shifting was still happening and so caused the cancellation. "It was a safety issue, and we really tried to do the best we could to make the show happen but I’m not gonna risk the safety of my fans for anything," Sheeran said in the new post. "I really am gutted, this was very much out of my control but I do take full responsibility for everyone that was put out from the cancellation. "Of course, refunds are available at point of purchase, and there is a rescheduled show October the 28th if people still want to come, I promise it will be special. "Nothing will take away from the effort people went to to get to vegas though and I’m sorry it wasn’t communicated sooner to the people waiting outside. He added: "We really thought the show was going to happen up until the very last moment but it just couldn’t for safety reasons. "Sorry again to everyone affected, and hopefully see you in October x." Elsewhere, burger fans recently rushed to try Sheeran's new collaboration with a major chain.

A self-help influencer is being compared to Andrew Tate because of her views on gender roles in dating. Leticia Padua, who posts under the name SheRaSeven, on TikTok and YouTube, advises young women to date older men to act as "providers" and pay for them and suggests manipulative tactics to make this happen. With over 20bn views across her platforms and counting, she suggests “using your baby voice” to attract men, ghosting them to make them want you more, and not talking too much on first dates to create an air of mystery. She also suggest women go to high-end bars alone before the after-work rush to pick up wealthy men. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Men who don't have money are called "dusties" and she says they should be avoided. One of her most popular YouTube videos is titled "how to get your man to give you money". @sheraseven1 #sheraseven1 #datingadviceforgirls #asherastargoddess #sprinklesprinklelady #menwithmoney #sherasevenknowsbest #sprinklesprinkle✨️ #sprinklesprinkle✨️ #darkfeminineenergy #levelup Videos like these have sparked the Tate comparison as the controversial influencer also has some completely unprogressive views about gender and the role of men and women within heterosexual relationships. And she is not the only person to be compared to Tate. The proudly “anti-feminist” influencer Pearl Davis has become a darling of the far-right right for her outspoken views on everything from why divorce should be banned to why women shouldn’t vote. The American racked up almost 1 million followers on TikTok, but was then banned but she is active on other platforms and even interviewed Tate once. She was interviewed by Piers Morgan in July and said she was a "fan" of Tate. However, some commentators have rightly pointed out that Tate is facing rape and human trafficking charges, whereas Padua and Davis absolutely are not so perhaps the comparisons are slightly unfair. Nevertheless, relying on men as financial providers is very backwards. So stick with your "dusties", everyone. There's more to life than money! Have your say in our news democracy.
