Timberlake ‘not intoxicated’ during arrest, lawyer says

Justin Timberlake will be re-arraigned virtually in court next month. Photo: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP By Ruth Comerford, BBC News Justin Timberlake's lawyer has said the popstar was "not intoxicated" when he was arrested by police officers last month for driving under the influence. The 43-year-old pop star was detained in New York for running a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road. His first court hearing took place on Friday, where his lawyer Edward Burke said police made "a very significant number of errors" in the case. "The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI," he added.

Wax museum removes Sinéad O’Connor figure

A waxwork of the late Sinéad O'Connor in Dublin will be remade after the original came under criticism Photo: Facebook The National Wax Museum in Dublin is "committed" to creating a new wax figure of Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor after significant public backlash. It comes after the museum unveiled a waxwork of the late singer and activist to coincide with the first anniversary of her death. O'Connor was found dead at the age of 56 in her south London home last July. The figure was first unveiled on Thursday as a tribute to the singer, but the museum has now said it will be removed in order to create "a more accurate representation". Among those who criticised the original figure was O'Connor's brother, John. He said he was shocked when he first saw the waxwork online and said it was "in...

JD Vance defends ‘childless cat ladies’ comment after backlash

Republican vice presidential candidate, US Senator JD Vance speaks during a fundraising event at Discovery World on 17 July, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Photo: AFP Donald Trump's vice-presidential candidate JD Vance has defended resurfaced comments in which he called Democratic politicians a "bunch of childless cat ladies with miserable lives". His remarks, made in 2021, have been roundly criticised this week, with Jennifer Aniston among those to have hit out at the 39-year-old Republican. "Obviously it was a sarcastic comment. People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said," Mr Vance told the conservative media personality Megyn Kelly on Friday. "The substance of what I said, Megyn - I'm sorry, it's true," he added. Vance, who has three ch...

No money to fuel up police vehicles delays response to deadly violence in PNG province

East Sepik Province, Sepik River Region, Papua New Guinea. Photo: Dozier Marc / Hemis via AFP Hundreds of people are displaced after a massacre in remote Papua New Guinea and the province's governor says political problems are getting in the way of help.
