Andrew Tate recreates prison stint in bizarre 24-hour livestream
Andrew Tate has 'sent himself back to prison' as part of a bizarre new stunt to show followers what life was like behind bars. The controversial influencer, who is currently on house arrest, slept in a bunk bed for 24 hours as fake guards did 'room checks' and he and brother, Tristan, attempted 1,000 push-ups. Nothing but a toilet could be seen in the middle of their shared room on the stream, and fans could 'send them mail' to their 'cell' for them to read on livestream.

Red flags you might be missing about your child’s online safety
During the wait for improved online safety laws, tens of thousands of grooming crimes have been recorded. The Online Safety Bill, which is meant to become law this autumn, has encountered numerous delays and changes since it become a proposed legislation. As a result, the children’s charity NSPCC has called on MPs and tech giants to support the Bill, especially since 34,000 online grooming crimes had been recorded by UK police forces over the last six years, since first calling for more robust safety regulations in 2017. Based on data from 42 UK police forces, the NSPCC said that last year, 6,350 offences related to the sexual communication with a child were recorded. Some 5,500 took place against primary school-aged children, and 73% of the crimes were related to Meta-linked platforms or Snapchat. NSPCC chief executive Sir Peter Wanless said: “The number of offences must serve as a reminder of why the Online Safety Bill is so important and why the ground-breaking protections it will give children are desperately needed. “We’re pleased the government has listened and strengthened the legislation so companies must tackle how their sites contribute to child sexual abuse in a tough but proportionate way, including in private messaging.” Here are some of the red flags parents should be on the look out for. Being secretive about how they are spending their time On their website, Childline define grooming as someone building a child’s trust to make a connection in order to do something sexual or illegal. “Studies show parental supervision typically declines as children get older, however online abuse does not,” said Mark Bentley, safeguarding and cyber security lead at charity The National Grid for Learning (LGfL). From being secretive to omitting relevant information, changes in behaviour can vary from child to child. But it’s something for all parents to be mindful of when their child starts using social media more. “Unfortunately, as in many areas of child protection, indicators of abuse can often mirror natural markers of growing up,” said Bentley. “As children and adolescents develop, they seek independence from parents, engage in risk taking and have changes in mood and friendship group. “Nonetheless, these markers remain vital to watch out for, even if it is just to support your growing child. Those who are being groomed online are much more likely to be defensive and secretive about phone usage and loathed to be separated from their device.” Having unexplained gifts, big or small Buying gifts for children, whether big or small, can be another grooming technique used to flatter children and their families. “Some groomers have been known to provide alternative phones just to contact them, and this is always a red flag if you suspect your child may have a secondary device,” said Bentley. They are spending too much time onlineSocial media may promote negative experiences if no boundaries have been established.“Of course, some of these [red] flags can also be a sign of the child going through adolescence but it’s important to discuss any unusual behaviour with them as soon as possible,” said Simon Newman, member of International Cyber Expo’s advisory council and of the Cyber Resilience Centre for London.“The way groomers target children varies, but is often done through social media sites, text messages and apps, emails or online forums – particularly gaming sites.”They develop friendships with a much older person Children and young people can be groomed by a stranger or by someone they know – such as a family member, friend or professional, according to NSPCC. But the age gap between a child and their groomer can also be relatively small. The groomer may also work towards building a relationship with the family to gain trust, so they can be left alone with the child. “There are various models of the stages of grooming, but at heart it revolves around building up trust and making a child feel understood and listened to in a way they do not feel elsewhere, and then breaking down the links of trust to family, school, friends and other adults,” said Bentley. “Any parent thinking that this might be happening should definitely reach out for help.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Rumer Willis says she is ‘grateful’ to her body following birth of daughter Sugary cereals and yoghurts must remove child-friendly packaging – health group Clever kitchen storage solutions to clear the clutter

Taylor Swift fans are convinced Harry Styles will feature on 1989 (Taylor's Version) 'From The Vault' track
Taylor Swift recently announced 1989 (Taylor's Version) will be released on October 27, with five new "From The Vault" tracks - and many Swifties are convinced Harry Styles is set to feature on a song. In an Instagram post breaking the news, Swift described the five never-heard-before vault songs as "so insane". "To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 'From The Vault' tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long!" she wrote. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Previously, Swift has commented on her decision to release songs "From The Vault" by saying: “One thing I’ve been loving about these From The Vault songs is that they’ve never been heard, so I can experiment, play, and even include some of my favorite artists.” Both Swifties and Harries alike have been posting about how iconic it would be for Styles to feature on Swift's 1989 track called 'Style' which is speculated to be about him after the pair briefly dated between 2012 and 2013. Such is the demand, AI covers of the pop stars singing 'Style' as a duet have been popping up on TikTok and have received millions of views. @mayksounds Replying to @kaylee <3 did someone ask for Style? #style #taylorswift #taylorsversion #taylorswiftedit #taylornation #harrystyles #harrystylesvids #harrystylesedit #aicover One fan wrote: "This would absolutely be the song of the century. Record breaking. Iconic. Legendary. Just everything." "This would be the best thing to ever happen to me tbh," another person said. Someone else added: "AS A CHILD OF DIVORCE I NEEEEED IT." "If we all talk about it enough we will speak it into existence," a fourth person commented. @dvnnisimone mom & dad pls do this collab one time for your babies ??? #taylorswift #harrystyles #taylorsversion #styletaylorswift #harryshouse #swifttok #taylornation #1989taylorsversion @multirose96 #stitch with @Nika Lee its clowning hours babe get in the car ? #harrystyles #taylorswift #taylorsversion #haylor @maddiecastellano Style (Haylors Version)!!!!! Think about it!!!! Even my husband is saying he wants it!!! #taylorswift #harrystyles #haylor #taylornation It wouldn't be the first time since Swift has collaborated with an ex after Taylor Lautner starred alongside Joey King in her music video for her Speak Now (Taylor's Version)(From The Vault) track 'I Can See You'. While Swifties know the singer likes to drop hints or Easter eggs about future music, some have pointed out she had similar dance moves to Styles when performing the 1989 track on her Eras Tour. The two exes also appear to be on good terms as they were spotted chatting at the 2021 and 2023 Grammy Awards. So there perhaps could be a collaboration on the cards, we'll have to wait until October 27 to find out... Have your say in our news democracy.
