Glenn Irwin involved in practice crash
Northern Ireland rider has slipped down the championship standings as a consequence Glenn Irwin was taken to hospital for assessment Glenn Irwin's hopes of winning the British Superbike title suffered a blow yesterday after the Northern Ireland rider was ruled out of the opening race at round three following a crash at Snetterton. Irwin was high-sided from his Hager PBM Ducati machine during the final free practice session in the morning. The 35-year-old was taken to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for assessment after initial checks at the circuit medical centre did not show any obvious damage. A statement issued by the organisers said: 'Glenn Irwin was taken to the circuit medical centre after a crash in Free Practice 3 (FP3). 'Following x-rays on his hip and right leg at the circuit medical centre where nothing was visible, he has been taken to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for further scans and is unfit for Qualifying. 'Further updates will follow when available.' Should Irwin be passed fit to race in today's two BSB races, he would have to start from the back of the grid. John Mowatt, PBM Ducati team coordinator, said: 'It was unfortunate. In the 10-minute FP3 session we had set a fairly quick lap on the first flyer and then we were bedding ourselves into it. Unfortunately, he's high-sided at turn 9 on the right-hand side. 'He took a bit of a heavy impact to the right-hand side of his body.' Irwin has now dropped from second in the championship to fourth after missing the first race of the weekend and is 30 points behind former champion Bradley Ray (Raceways Yamaha), who dominated yesterday's opener. Ray is back in BSB this year after two seasons competing in the World Superbike Championship and has picked up where he left off, winning five out of the six races held this year to underline his title credentials. The English rider set a new lap record and won by 5.380s from reigning champion Kyle Ryde (OMG Nitrous Competitions Yamaha), with Tommy Bridewell sealing his first podium of 2025 in third for Honda Racing. Ulsterman Scott Swann finished 14th on the Send My Bag/IWR Honda, while Donegal's Richard Kerr was 16th (ROKiT BMW). Andrew Irwin (Honda Racing) did not finish after coming together with Lee Jackson. The BSB Sprint race today is at 1:20pm, with the final race of the weekend at the Norfolk circuit scheduled for 4:30pm. In the Supersport opener, Dublin's Jack Kennedy won from Rhys Irwin. Also yesterday, the fifth round of the Ulster Superbike Championship was held at Kirkistown in Co Down, where Derek Sheils (Roadhouse Macau BMW) won both races from Carl Phillips (SBT Ireland Kawasaki). Graeme Irwin was a double winner in the Supersport class on the Magic Bullet Ducati, and Christian Elkin won both Supertwin races.

Funny girl. Barbra Streisand, 83, won't admit whether she and her longtime pal Warren Beatty, 88, ever slept together during their rumored fling in the '70s. The 'A Star Is Born' actress and singer opened up about the NSFW matter during an interview with The New Yorker published on Saturday, June 14, while discussing a similar anecdote she shared in her 2023 tell-all 'My Name Is Barbra.' 8 Barbra Streisand won't admit whether she and her longtime pal Warren Beatty ever slept together.

AFP via Getty Images 'I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can't remember if we actually had penetration,' she claimed. 'I swear to God, I can't. There are certain things I block out.' However, Streisand quickly moved away from the topic when the interviewer pressed her further about whether or not she ever slept with the 'Dick Tracy' star. 'But I know we're still friends,' she said, changing the subject. 'Every year on my birthday, he calls me and we have a wonderful talk about our lives, our children, and so forth.' 8 'I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can't remember if we actually had penetration,' Streisand claimed.

British School of Bahrain's new senior school campus to open in 2026
The British School of Bahrain (BSB) has announced the development of a purpose-built Senior School campus, set to open for the 2026/2027 academic year. Located just a short walk from the current site and adjacent to the Al Liwan Commercial Centre, the new campus represents a major step forward in BSB's commitment to future-focused education. The launch comes as the school celebrates 30 years of delivering premium British education in Bahrain. In collaboration with Global Education consultants and leading architectural firm MSCEB, the campus has been designed to educate students from Year 10 through to Year 13. This next-generation facility will feature thoughtfully designed classrooms to support a range of learning styles, purpose-built study areas for independent and collaborative learning, and cutting-edge technology including the integration of Inspired AI, Inspired Education's pioneering artificial intelligence platform to boost learning outcomes. Students will also benefit from exceptional extra-curricular and performance facilities, including a FIFA-standard football pitch, athletics track, multi-purpose sports hall, an 8-lane indoor swimming pool, and an acoustically engineered 800 sqm auditorium with seating for over 500 guests. Nadim M. Nsouli, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Inspired Education, commented: 'The new BSB campus aligns with Inspired's vision of providing its students with a premium education in state-of the-art-facilities demonstrating our commitment to excellence in academics, sports and the creative and performing arts.' 'This is more than a new building. It is a meaningful investment in the future of our students,' said Executive Headteacher Liz Stanley. 'As we celebrate three decades of shaping young minds, this next chapter enables us to reimagine what senior education can be. We are creating an environment that inspires ambition, encourages independence, and equips every student to thrive in an ever-changing world.' With the relocation of Years 10–13 to the new Senior School, the original campus will become a dedicated centre for students from Nursery through to Year 9. This transformation allows the school to reimagine their original campus into a vast, state-of-the-art learning environment tailored specifically for younger students, with age-appropriate innovation, care, and creativity at its heart. This will create one of the most advanced Junior and Middle School campuses in the country, a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can develop curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
