An attempt by Russian stuntman Evgeny Chebotarev to carry an Mi-2 helicopter on a pickup truck went awfully wrong.

Neighbours say crowds drawn by TikTok to Fabel Friet are clogging the picturesque canal street and attracting litter, gulls and rats

People living in one of Amsterdam’s most exclusive neighbourhoods have taken the city to court for licensing a chip shop that has gone viral on TikTok.

On busy days, the queue for Fabel Friet on Runstraat stretches across a bridge on the Keizersgracht – one of Amsterdam’s three main canals – a court was told last week. The narrow street itself is crowded by tourists waiting for their orders seven days a week. And loitering with intent – on parked cars, on the street itself, and on steps and porches – gulls wait to swoop.

While I suspect my husband and some of my friends would make excellent Traitors, my poker face is worse than Richard E Grant’s – as I learned when I played the game

Yes, yes, it’s achieved the impossible: brought back watercooler terrestrial TV, united the UK’s viewing habits, healed our divided nation. But more importantly, The Celebrity Traitors has given us a lens through which to look at life. Currently, the only conversation worth having is what you think you, whoever you’re talking to, and all your friends and family members would be like as contestants on the show. It’s a quick-smart way to evaluate society, a new shorthand. Describe a stranger as having “Faithful energy” and there are surely about two humans on these islands who wouldn’t understand exactly what you mean.

Can you handle the truth, though? It was a poignant moment on my journey of self-acceptance when I was forced to acknowledge that I’d be terrible as both a Traitor and a Faithful. However, confronted with most of the people who know me best being absolutely certain, laughing through tears at the idea of any other outcome, there was no getting away from it. The accusation was levelled that I would jump out of my skin and squeal if my shoulder was touched at the initial roundtable, meaning my Traitorhood would be over before it had begun, which was futile to deny. I suggested I might try to make the squeal seem like a double bluff – which was met with further amusement. Apparently my poker face is even less convincing than I thought. I’d make Richard E Grant look like a slick covert operator.

A 12-year-old girl was killed and three adults were wounded after two gunmen allegedly opened fire during a dispute near a youth football game in Baltimore, Maryland, authorities said Saturday.

The preteen girl was apparently caught in the crossfire at Leon Day Park, where a youth football league was holding its homecoming event, Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said during a news conference.

The two men are believed to have been in a dispute that started over a parking space, according to Worley.

"What we know is that there was some type of argument between two cowards, and of course, they both opened fire on each other," Worley said.

"In the crossfire, a 12-year-old little girl who was probably down there watching football was shot and killed," he added.

As of Saturday evening, police said they were searching for at least two suspects, whom authorities described as adult men. No arrests had been announced as of late Saturday night.

Baltimore police told Fox News Digital that officers responded to the 1200 block of North Franklintown Road at approximately 6:15 p.m. after receiving multiple reports of gunfire.

Officers found a 25-year-old woman suffering from an apparent gunshot wound and the 12-year-old girl, who was transported to a hospital but later pronounced dead.

A 28-year-old man and a 23-year-old man separately walked into area hospitals seeking treatment for gunshot wounds, police said.

All three surviving victims were listed in stable condition.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott gave an emotionally charged reaction to the incident, which he said unfolded because two adults couldn't resolve an argument without guns.

"Two grown men got into an argument and now a 12-year-old is gone," he said.

"What happened out here today is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life," Scott added.

Scott said the girl's death would have a profound impact on the community before offering his condolences to her family.

"We're never gonna see her full potential," he said. "Her family's gonna be hurting for this for the rest of their life. Her classmates are going to be hurting, her community's going to be hurting."
