liverpool’s‌ newest signing,⁢ Hugo Ekitike, is⁣ facing scrutiny after a video surfaced appearing to show him filming himself ⁣driving a £200,000 Mercedes. ‌The footage, reportedly posted on Snapchat, has sparked concerns about road safety and potential legal repercussions.

The incident occurred shortly after Ekitike completed his move to Anfield, and the video’s circulation⁤ raises questions about the⁢ player’s judgment and adherence to responsible driving practices. Using a⁤ mobile phone while operating a vehicle is illegal ‌in ⁤the ‍United Kingdom, carrying a potential ‍fine of‌ £200 and six penalty ⁣points on a driving license.

Ekitike, 21, ⁣joined Liverpool‌ on a season-long​ loan from Paris ⁤Saint-Germain on August 29, 2023, ⁤with an option ‍to buy.The forward has been touted as​ a promising addition to the Reds’ attacking lineup, but this incident casts a shadow over ⁣his arrival.

The video shows Ekitike operating the vehicle while simultaneously recording with his mobile phone. Authorities have not yet confirmed weather an inquiry ​has been ⁣launched,but the footage has drawn criticism from⁣ road safety advocates. A spokesperson for the ⁣Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (rospa) stated that any distraction while driving considerably increases ⁣the risk‌ of an accident.

Liverpool Football Club has not‍ yet commented ‍on the matter. It remains to be seen whether Ekitike will ⁤face any ⁣disciplinary action from ‍the club or ⁤legal consequences‍ from authorities.

Teenager to stand trial in Germany over alleged ISIS-inspired plot targeting Taylor Swift concert.

A 19-year-old, identified as Beran A., will face trial in Germany for allegedly planning a suicide bombing at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Vienna last August. The trial will be held behind closed doors at Berlin’s Superior Court of Justice, a decision supported by his defense lawyers due to his age and the intense media attention surrounding the case.

Prosecutors allege that Beran A. began adhering to islamic State ideology in 2024 and pledged allegiance to the terror group via text message. A second individual, Mohammad A., who was educated in Germany and of Syrian descent, was arrested on the day the Vienna concerts were canceled after his name was found in Beran A.’s contacts. Mohammad A. remains under inquiry.

The revelation of the alleged plot led to Swift expressing a “tremendous amount of guilt” and a “new sense of fear” for her fans.Following the incident, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and London Mayor Sadiq Khan faced accusations of pressuring police to provide Swift with a police escort during her London shows. The Mayor was also among Labour figures who reportedly received complimentary tickets to Swift’s sold-out performances, which took place under heightened security measures.

Dr Zoe reveals how you can get free bowel cancer tests on the NHS – and who needs prostate checks

Bowel Cancer Screening: Understanding Current Guidelines

Expert advice from **Dr. Zoe Williams** on bowel cancer screening and prostate health concerns.

Many over 75s are unsure of current NHS bowel cancer screening guidelines; **Dr. Zoe Williams** clarifies the rules and explains options for prostate cancer screening.

Bowel Cancer Screening: What You Need to Know

For those aged 50–74 registered with a general practitioner in the UK, the NHS automatically sends a bowel cancer screening home test (FIT kit) every two years.

The lower age threshold was recently reduced to 50, due to campaigns advocating for extended testing to increase the chances of early detection and ultimately save lives.

Individuals aged 75 and over can still request a home test kit every two years by contacting the bowel cancer screening helpline at 0800 707 6060.

Over 70s and Breast Screening

Similarly, women over 71 can opt for breast screening every three years, but they must proactively request an appointment as they will no longer receive automatic invitations.

Prostate Cancer Screening: PSA Tests

Currently, there is no national NHS screening program for prostate cancer; however, men aged 50 and over in the UK can request a PSA blood test.

Before requesting a PSA test, men should research the advantages and disadvantages to aid them in making an informed decision. Prostate Cancer UK offers resources, including a risk checker, on its website.

Some men are at an increased risk and would likely benefit more from PSA testing. These men include black men over 45, men over 45 with a family history of prostate cancer, and men with confirmed genetic risk factors such as the BRCA2 gene variation.

**Dr Zoe Williams** helps Sun readers with their health concerns

Early detection of bowel cancer is critical; Cancer Research UK reports that survival rates are more than 90% when the disease is diagnosed at its earliest stage (Cancer Research UK).

Ozemd**k & Male Enhancement: The Unexpected Side Effect

Ozempic Penis? Weight Loss Drugs May make Your Penis Look Bigger, experts Say

Table of Contents

Ozempic-Penis sounds like a sexually transmitted disease you really wouldn’t want to catch.

But it’s actually a term that has cropped up online,largely amongst men on Reddit, who are saying they’ve noticed a change to their penis size as a side-effect of weight loss injections.

One anonymous user wrote: “I recently measured myself down there and noticed I gained about one inch.”

Another asked: “Increased size, anyone else notice?”

Weight loss drugs were frist developed to treat type 2 diabetes, and Ozempic is still prescribed for just that.

Wegovy and Mounjaro, which are available on the National Health Service (NHS), and Saxenda, meanwhile are licensed for weight management, but only obese Brits (a Body Mass Index over 30), or those that are overweight (a body Mass index of 27) with a related comorbidity like high blood pressure or high cholesterol, are eligible for them.

They work by mimicking naturally occurring hormones, like GLP-1, that make you feel full, slow digestion and regulate appetite, leading to sometimes drastic fat loss.

The health benefits can be huge considering obesity can cause cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and more.

But is it too good to be true that the drugs can add inches to your penis as well?

We asked General Practitioner and men’s health and erectile dysfunction expert Dr. Jeff Foster, Medical Director of Manual, to explain all…

Can Taking Weight Loss Drugs really Make Your Penis bigger?

The short answer is no, but the drugs can certainly make your penis LOOK bigger.

“It’s true,” says Dr. Foster. “You naturally have a small fat pad just above the base of the top of your penis.

“as you develop abdominal fat – and men in particular will develop abdominal fat compared to women, who put it on their bum and thighs more – you can find this small, little fat pad starts to become fuller.

“It appears, therefore, that everything has shrunk.

“It’s as if your penis has gone inside, but all that’s really happening is the surrounding tissue to your penis has become more protruded – the true penis size hasn’t changed.

“And actually, about 70 percent of your penis is external, there’s another 30 percent inside that you just never see.”

Pre-Ozempic, some men found this illusion so upsetting that they’d be referred for liposuction to have the fat pad reduced.

“The removal of this fat pad just above the penis does make it look bigger, but the problem is, it’s not actually any bigger, it’s just the appearance of the outward area,” says Dr. Foster.

Losing some of that fat pad as a side-effect of weight loss drugs can have the same effect though – and doesn’t involve a surgical procedure.

“It’s a win, isn’t it?” says Dr. foster. “You’re going to be healthier, and you might end up looking like you’ve got a bigger penis.

“I mean, no men are ever going to go, ‘Ah, I’m really worried my penis is too big’.”

Do Fat Jabs Help Improve Erections Too?

Dr.Foster says: “yes, they do.

“Obesity is one of the biggest causes of erectile dysfunction.

“If you are overweight, you are more likely to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.

“All of these things affect blood supply,and you need a really good blood supply to get an erection.

“So, if you lose weight, you are more likely to have better erections, and your sex drive will go up.”

He adds that obesity can also affect testosterone levels.

“Testosterone is made in fat cells, so the more fat cells you have, the more testosterone is converted into estrogen,” he says.

“This can lead to a lower sex drive and erectile dysfunction.”

Losing weight can help to reverse this process and improve testosterone levels.

The Rise of Weight Loss Drugs

The use of weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro has surged in recent years, driven by their effectiveness in promoting significant weight loss. Originally developed for managing type 2 diabetes, these medications have gained popularity for their ability to regulate appetite and reduce body fat. This has led to increased discussions and interest in the various effects and side effects associated with their use, including the surprising observation of changes in perceived penis size.

Obesity and Men’s Health

Obesity is a significant health concern with far-reaching implications, including it’s impact on men’s sexual health. Excess weight can contribute to conditions such as erectile dysfunction, reduced testosterone levels, and decreased libido. The connection between obesity and these issues underscores the importance of maintaining a healthy weight for overall well-being and sexual function.

Rise in dangerous summer TikTok ‘wellness’ trend that puts Gen Z girls at risk of cancer or even death

by Dr. Michael Lee – Health Editor

Sunbed Addiction Fuels Skin Cancer Surge Among Young Women

A dangerous trend is unfolding on social media, as young women are increasingly drawn to tanning beds, often at the expense of their health. The pursuit of a perfect tan, fueled by online influencers, is tragically leading to a rise in skin cancer cases.

The Daily Ritual

Every morning, Taylor Lyttle visits a local salon for a 15-minute sunbed session. This ritual costs her £13. The 21-year-old then checks her TikTok feed to compare her tan with her friends’.

Taylor Lyttle regularly uses sunbeds to maintain her tan.

Social Media Influence

The platform is awash with content under hashtags like #tanned and #sunnyd, often featuring users bathed in UV light. This exposure is encouraging dangerous practices among young women. This is driving many to engage in risky behaviors.

The Risks Ignored

Lyttle, a hairdresser from Belfast, acknowledges the potential dangers of sunbed use. However, she remains unconcerned. For her, tanning is a stress reliever. She says, “If I see someone online darker than me, I get annoyed. I love how I look with a tan, it boosts my confidence and I feel more attractive.”

Social media’s influence is driving young women to take dangerous risks.

Lyttle also uses nasal tanning sprays, purchased from a friend. Last month, authorities issued a warning. Nasal tanning sprays could cause health issues like high blood pressure. The warning urged users to be careful about these unregulated products.

The Health Crisis

Dr. Björn Thomas, a dermatologist at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in London, is seeing more young patients with melanoma. He says the carcinogenic effects of sunbeds could be far higher than getting sunlight outdoors. The potential consequences of the disease can be devastating.

“We’re no longer surprised to see someone aged 19 or 20 with melanoma,”

—Dr. Björn Thomas, Consultant Dermatologist

According to the World Health Organization, sunbeds are as dangerous as smoking. This is because they emit UV rays that can damage the skin’s DNA. This damage can eventually lead to skin cancer, including melanoma.

A Personal Tragedy

Georgia Edwards was only 19 when diagnosed with melanoma. She had been using sunbeds for three years. She recalls how addictive it was. She’d go with her friends, and it felt like they’d “gone to Spain and back.”

The Reality of Skin Cancer

Jessica Crowe knows the pain sunbeds can cause. Her sister, Tazmyn, died from skin cancer at 31. She had used sunbeds heavily. Jessica says her sister’s health issues began with sunbed use.

Jessica Crowe lost her sister Tazmyn to skin cancer.

Tazmyn was diagnosed with skin cancer. The cancer returned, reaching stage three. Tragically, she passed away in March 2023. She left behind three children. Jessica finds it distressing to see social media posts promoting sunbed use.

Tazmyn battled skin cancer for years before her death.

Susanna Daniels, CEO of Melanoma Focus, notes a rise in sunbed use among young people. Almost one-third of people over 16 in the UK use them. Furthermore, the percentage rises to 52% in 18-21 year olds. “This has been on the rise in recent years and it may be leading people to make harmful choices,” she states.

Georgia Edwards was diagnosed with melanoma at 19.

Despite the stories, Lyttle says she will not ditch her tanning habit. “People drink, smoke, vape or eat junk food. Lots of things we do are bad, but we do it anyway. For me, a tan is worth the risk.”

A Call to Action

Jessica Crowe wants a ban on sunbeds, as in Australia, or at least some restrictions. Her message to young women is to stop using them. She urges them to ignore the influencers promoting this dangerous trend. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, just one blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person’s risk of developing melanoma (AAD 2024).
