Shortly after the news broke, The Globe and Mail reported that Michael Melling, the head of CTV News, allegedly raised concern about her hair and the decision to keep it gray, which caused many to believe that it was the reason behind her sudden departure.          
Lisa LaFlamme won the Canadian Screen Award for Best News Anchor, National n 2022Rex        However, in the Twitter video, she shifts focus to Bell Media, citing the ...business decision... as her reason for the departure.         Mirko Bibic, the chief executive of Bell Media, also pushed back against the claims, saying that the decision had nothing to do with her age, gender, or hair.         "The narrative has been that Lisa's age, gender or gray hair played into the decision. I am satisfied that this is not the case and wanted to make sure you heard it from me,... he said in a statement.         ...While I would like to say more on the Bell Media decision, we are bound by a mutual separation agreement negotiated with Lisa, which we will continue to honor."        At this time, it is still unclear what decisions played a role in her firing.         What is Lisa LaFlamme's net worth?         While LaFlamme might be saying goodbye to CTV News, she is walking away with an extensive fortune.         While her exact net worth is unclear, it is reportedly anywhere between $1million and $4million.         	  		  			Read More on The US Sun

It is a white shark,... Kasey Lyn Watkins is heard confirming on the video she took in Casco Bay off the coast of New England, Maine.         A porpoise floats at the water's surface before the great white suddenly bursts to the top and overpowers the carcass.        Red can be seen in the water as the shark viciously shakes its head back and forth to get a better grip on its catch.        Called a ...juvenile white shark... by a male in the video, it continues to flip the body around right in front of the camera.        The MA Sharks shared the video on August 19, the day it was taken, Newsweek wrote.        They ed the video: ...Thanks to citizen scientists Kasey Lyn Watkins and family for sending me info about their amazing sighting.        ...They spotted this juvenile white shark feeding on a harbor porpoise off Maine.         ...It's a good reminder that white sharks occur off Maine and they don't just eat seals....

Portsmouth PolicePolice have appealed for witnesses after a man touched a girl inappropriately in Portsmouth '/ '        
Portsmouth PoliceThe alleged assault is said to have taken place along this path out of Stamshaw Park in the direction of Rudmore roundabout '/ '        A man approached the youngster and made sexual comments before touching her inappropriately, cops said.        In a statement, police described the suspect as being a black man of slim build aged between 18 and 25, with dark hair.        Cops said the man was dressed all in black, apart from a white t-shirt with a vest over the top of it. He was also carrying a small bag.        At approximately 4.30pm on Monday, the girl was walking along a path which leads out of Stamshaw Park in the direction of Rudmore roundabout when a man approached her and took hold of her arm, police said in a statement.        A force spokesman said: ...He then made inappropriate comments towards her and touched her over her clothing.            ...The girl managed to get away from him. He followed her for a short distance but left once she reached Rudmore roundabout and called police....        The youngster is currently being supported by specialist officers.        ...We have been conducting enquiries since this incident was reported to us and now have these images of a man, seen in the area at the time, who we would like to speak to in connection with our investigation,... cops added.        The force has appealed to anyone who was in the area at the time who saw what happened, the moments leading up to it or the aftermath.        They have also appealed to anyone who was driving near the area who might have caught something on dash cam.        Anyone with any information that may assist police enquiries, no matter how small it may seem, is asked to call them on 101 quoting 44220351818.

SWNSPolice officers pictured dancing the Macarena at the Lincoln Pride Festival last week '/ '        The new report by the influential think-tank Policy Exchange calls on the service to get back to basics.        It claims there is too little leadership, an abandonment of the core principles of policing, and that some crimes such as burglary and theft have effectively been decriminalised.        This is a sentiment the Government claims is strongly shared by Home Secretary Priti Patel.         She agrees that "traditional policing and making our streets safer" should be the priority for officers.            Tough-on-crime platitudes are all well and good but policing priorities have strayed so far from where they should be that the Home Secretary should send out a search party for the values and principles which once underpinned our police force.        Impartiality has been eroded and public confidence is on a knife edge in spite of police funding continuing to increase.         In 2015, overall funding was £12billion.         Over the next year, policing will receive £17billion, including a seven per cent boost on last year.

According to YouGov, the number of people who think the police are doing a good job has fallen from 70 per cent in July 2019 to 52 per cent just three years later.        In the capital, the situation is worse.         The Mayor's own data shows that fewer than half of Londoners think the police are doing a good job there.         On top of this, recent polling by news website CapX found that nearly double the number of people agree that "the police are more interested in being woke than solving crimes" than disagreed.        What a damning indictment of how identity politics has infiltrated our forces.        We are paying for criminal justice and getting too much social justice.        The mere presence of a bobby was once enough to strike fear into the hearts of local criminals.         Now the police are more likely to send criminals into fits of laughter as they parade around in rainbow-painted cars, preoccupied with pronouns and offensive tweets.        When officers took the knee at a BLM demonstration in 2020 to prove they were "anti-racist", you'd have thought the public backlash sent a strong message: With so much crime around, we want arrests, not activism.        The way to actually show that black lives matter is to stop black kids stabbing each other in the streets — something the police cannot get a handle on.        But it didn't stop at race.         ...Unfazed officers'        Over the past two years, rarely a month has gone by when officers haven't been pictured parading around like activists, clearly unfazed by much of the public now seeing them as a national embarrassment.        Police teams were pictured clad in rainbow hats and LGBTQ+ face paint, dancing the Macarena at the Lincoln Pride Festival last week.        Any passer-by would have been forgiven for thinking they were walking past a children's birthday party.        Then there's the absurd amount of police resources wasted recording so-called "non-crime" hate incidents.        This is where anything is said or done to someone which the person perceives has happened because of their race or another protected characteristic.         The number of such incidents recorded by police runs into six figures.        But they don't even meet the threshold of being crimes.        The police continue to waste time dealing with issues which are offensive, but not offences.        Over the past few years, our bobbies have stood by as public statues have been torn down by activist mobs, as neanderthal climate catastrophists have glued themselves to things and blocked roads, and turned up at people's doors for "offensive" tweets they posted.        They've become less a police force and more a police farce.        We need whoever is the Home Secretary this time next week, when a new Prime Minister is chosen, to ensure the Conservatives live up to their claim of being the "party of law and order".        If they don't, we might as well get used to the nickname "lawless Britain" — because that's exactly what policing in this country is ensuring we'll become.        Why I can't bare to go to Carnival        NOTTING Hill Carnival took place over the bank holiday weekend.        Dating back to the 1960s, it's a two million-strong congregation of revellers celebrating Caribbean culture.        
SplashNotting Hill Carnival took place over the bank holiday weekend '/ '        Although the vast majority of attendees are well-behaved and decent, common scenes include scantily clad girls twerking and dubious young men on the prowl.        Sadly, there is also violence.         This year, that entailed a murder, six stabbings, 74 injured policemen and women and more than 200 arrests (including 33 for possession of weapons).        Should it be any surprise, then, that I have no interest in going to the carnival?        It's assumed that just because I'm young and black that this is "my scene", and that I'm a prude and killjoy for shunning the event.        The thing is, I quite like not being surrounded by drunk, rowdy, sweaty, half-naked adolescents; I quite like not going home smelling of second-hand cannabis; and I quite like not having to look over my shoulder for fear of being assaulted.        Meg's ego is raging        IF someone said I was so clever I reminded them of Albert Einstein, or so divine I was like Jesus, I'd take the compliment, but would I go around boasting about it?        Absolutely not – because I'm not a raging narcissist.        
GettyMeghan Markle has boasted South Africans have likened her impact on public life to that of Nelson Mandela '/ '        Meghan Markle clearly has no such narcissism filter.        In a new round of painfully cringeworthy interviews, she has boasted that South Africans have likened her impact on public life to that of Nelson Mandela.        Except one is a freedom fighter who spent 27 years in a tiny prison cell for fighting apartheid.        Another is an opportunist who has spent years basking in self-pity as she lives a dream life as a duchess in a Californian mansion.        Slightly different.        If mass public condemnation doesn't shame Meghan into realising how ludicrous that was, this should: Nelson Mandela's own grandson has criticised Markle, saying her legacy is nothing like the great freedom fighter's.        The fact Meghan even needs this saying is yet another reason in a long list why she needs to really take some lessons in how to not be such a deluded egomaniac.        ...Prints to the rescue        WHEN the plan was announced to send male asylum seekers crossing the Channel for processing in Rwanda, I said it could be a stroke of genius as far as deterrents go.        "Could" was the key word, as the plan would inevitably face backlash, outcry and legal challenges before the planes even warmed up on the Tarmac.        
AFPBetween 50 and 60 per cent of migrants crossing the Channel are Albanian '/ '        I've lost faith in the Rwanda plan ever getting off the ground, adding to my woes about a hopeless Home Office.        But, credit where credit is due – the Home Secretary has hatched another plan which looks hopeful.        After it revealed that between 50 and 60 per cent of migrants crossing the Channel were Albanian and therefore not fleeing a war-torn country, the Home Office has said it will draft in Albanian police to help.        They will cross-check migrants' fingerprints with Albanian criminal databases – and identify and swiftly deport those migrants with sketchy records not "conducive to the public good".        Perhaps similar piece-meal deals with other nations might work better than the grand Rwanda plan.        At this point, the British people will take any small win over nothing, because precisely nothing is what has been happening for far too long.        Life for Olivia's gunman        POLICE are yet to find the killer of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, who tragically died after a gunman forced his way into her Liverpool home last week and fatally shot her as he chased another convict.        Police believe the incident may be linked to gang violence.        I cannot see how, once Olivia's killer is eventually found, anything other than a whole life term can be justified.        I fear the day her killer is brought to justice and those dreaded sentencing words "life with a minimum of" are read out.        The bare minimum her poor family deserves is to know that whoever did this will never ever be allowed out of prison.        We already hand down abysmally short sentences for those who hurt and kill children.        Surely justice can only be served when people who kill innocent children are locked up for life.

A state Department of Transportation out-of-service sticker was put on the limo a month before the crash, which state police recovered from Hussain's car after his arrest.        Prosecutors argued that Hussain took the sticker off the limo so that he could still use the vehicle for limo rentals.        State police said the limo should've been taken out of service because of brake issues that were found in an inspection a month before the crash.        It was Judge Lynch's understanding that Hussain's action showed he knew of the risk that the limousine had to others and only pleading guilty to criminally negligent homicide did not reflect that.        Lynch called the deal "completely disingenuous and unacceptable to this court."        HUSSAIN'S DEFENSE        Defense attorney Chad Seigel was taken aback by the judge's decision.         He told the Associated Press that the defense team was "shocked" and that the judge's move was "unheard of."        Seigel also said after the hearing that the sticker had "absolutely nothing to do with defective brakes....        Hussain's lawyers said that their client tried to maintain the limo and followed what state officials and a repair shop, that inspected the vehicle, said to him.        However, the District Attorney's office said that Hussain allowed people to ride in the limo despite receiving "multiple notices of violations" from the state and being told that the repairs were inadequate.        While the National Transportation Safety Board said that the crash was likely caused by the company's "egregious disregard for safety... that resulted in the brake failure, ineffective state oversight also contributed.        HEARTBROKEN FAMILIES        Family members of the victims were happily surprised by the judgment made, which was a bitter-sweet moment.          "I can't even put into words how I feel. Totally unexpected. Thank God," Jill Richardson-Perez, the mother of limo crash victim Matthew Coons, told AP.           "I'm in a better place now," she said.           ...My son, my baby boy, was killed in a limo while trying to be safe,... Beth Muldoon, the mother of Adam Jackson, 34, who died alongside his wife, Abigail King Jackson, told FOX.        The couple, who left behind two young children, had hopped in the stretch limo with the large group to avoid drinking and driving.        ...Every day I try to wrap my head around this impossible situation,... Sheila McGarvey, whose son Shane McGowan, 30, and his wife, Erin, were killed in the crash, told the outlet.        The families "have a hope for a bit of justice to be served in the future, where we didn't have any justice served in the past,... Kevin Cushing, whose son Patrick died in the crash, told AP.        Axel Steenburg rented the limo for his wife Amy's 30th birthday.        The group who attended ranged from ages 24 to 34 and included Axel's brother, Amy's three sisters and two of their husbands, and close friends.        Once the limo's brakes failed, the vehicle blew through a stop sign and crashed into a small ravine.        COMING BACK FOR MORE        "Collectively, we made a decision that it would be in the best of all involved — not only our client but the members of the community — to put this matter behind them....        ...A little monkey wrench was thrown in that," Seigel said. "So the judge forced our hand and we're ready for trial."        Judge Lynch gave Hussain the option of accepting a jail sentence of 16 months to four years or withdrawing his guilty plea.        The defense decided to withdraw Hussain's guilty plea and will appear in court on September 14.        Hussain will go out on bail, however, he will be subject to GPS monitoring.
