Un grupo de fieles seguidores de Andrés Manuel López Obrador se congregó a las afueras de su residencia en la Alcaldía Tlalpan con el propósito de despedirlo tras el cierre de su mandato presidencial. Aproximadamente cincuenta personas, que incluían niños, adultos y personas mayores provenientes no solo de la Ciudad de México, sino también de […]

EX-STRICTLY stars Zara McDermott and Laura Whitmore were seen for the first time since the BBC bullying probe at last night’s Glamour Women of the Year Awards.
TV presenter Laura wore a strapless, black Vivienne Westwood dress to the ceremony — and spoke out about the result of the investigation into dance pro Giovanni Pernice, whom she partnered on the 2016 series.
The BBC apologised to Sherlock star Amanda Abbington, 50, on Monday following complaints she made against her dance partner Giovanni, her partner during last year’s series.
It upheld some of the complaints made against him but cleared him of physical aggression towards the actress.
“There’s so much more to this but, in black and white, there were complaints upheld and an apology made.
“And the perpetrator no longer works for the channel.”
Former Love Islander Zara wore a slender pink gown to the bash, after finding herself at the centre of the second scandal to hit Strictly.
It was revealed in July she was kicked by her professional partner Graziano Di Prima, 30, during training.
He was sacked by the BBC after documentary maker Zara complained and spoke to the investigation team looking into Amanda’s claims about Giovanni, 34.
When asked about Strictly, Zara, 30, said last night: “I won’t be commenting.”
Other stars at the ceremony at Raffles OWO Hotel in London, included actress Michelle Keegan and Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley, who won the Gamechanging Actor award.
They joined ex-Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, 57, who was honoured with The Impact Award, saying: “I feel more comfortable in my skin now than I probably have in the last 30 years.”
TV host Myleene Klass wore a glittering blue gown while Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards caught the eye in a brown dress split to the hip.
Inside the bash, sponsored by Samsung Galaxy Ring, awards host Katherine Ryan looked stunned as she won the Feminist Hero award for pushing for change.
That included calling out comedian Russell Brand as a “sexual predator” — which he denies.
Welcoming her to the stage, Glamour’s editor in chief Deborah Joseph praised the comedian, saying: “We love her for being as vocal offstage as on.”
Katherine had earlier joked about the speeches she would be making and told The Sun: “I hope I don’t get cancelled.”
Samsung’s Rising Star award went to British girl band Say Now, made up of London-born singers Ysabelle Salvanera, Amelia Onuorah, Madeleine Haynes.
EX-Lioness Alex Scott arrived at the awards ceremony with another life goal ticked off.
The Football Focus host, 39, has just got the keys to a house with her girlfriend, singer Jess Glynne, whom she started dating last year.
A friend said: “Alex and Jess couldn’t be happier — and this is an exciting new chapter for both of them.”
Alongside a social media pic of Jess’s finger pointing to the house key, Alex wrote: “I’ve been having a ball.”
GUESTS got suitably sozzled at the awards bash, downing Laurent-Perrier champagne, Whispering Angel rosé and Seedlip gin cocktails.
They tucked into Cornish seabass and South Downs lamb — although it might not have suited vegan Pamela Anderson, right.
Then at the after-party, Volcan margaritas and Belvedere martinis were handed to celebs as they hit the dance floor.
PETER SCHMEICHEL covered Celtic instead of Manchester City – following a controversial rant about his old club’s support.
CBS Sports sent the former keeper to see Borussia Dortmund thump the Scottish champions 7-1 in Germany – rather than watch City triumph 4-0 at Slovan Bratislava.
The Dane’s unexpected destination for Tuesday’s Champions League action follows a blistering verdict on a “dead” Etihad atmosphere in the 0-0 draw against Inter Milan last month.
It did give him the chance to see son Kasper in goal for Celtic – but the 60-year-old might have flinched as Dortmund were 5-1 up by half-time.
Schmeichel Senior retired as a player in 2003 after a single season with City, following a career dominated by eight years at Manchester United.
So it was perhaps no wonder his outburst ruffled feathers – although no specific reason has been given for him missing out on the Bratislava feast.
Schmeichel responded to the September 18 Etihad stalemate in front of 50,922 spectators by telling CBS: “I love good football and I like excitement from the crowd but it was dead – the Etihad today was absolutely dead.”
He added: “The only people we could hear were the Inter supporters, who were quite good, but there was no atmosphere in the Etihad.
“Normally, you’d think ‘well big European night’, but it didn’t happen for them.”
Schmeichel wasn’t much more impressed with City themselves that night.
"Thank you for playing [Kasper Schmeichel] today!"

The ex-Aston Villa stopper said: “I don’t think it was a good draw.
“I thought it was a really, really boring game and I’m sorry to say that.
“I thought Inter did really well in stopping Man City.”
Some fans thought Schmeichel was far too harsh, especially as many regular followers are struggling to afford tickets amid a wider cost of living crisis.
And this time he saw Celtic become the first British team to let in five goals before the break in a European match since 1997-98.
That was when Cwmbran Town exited the Cup Winners’ Cup 12-2 on aggregate against Progresul Bucharest.
IT was billed as the ultimate dream trip, cruising exotic locations on a non-stop journey around the world.
Passengers on the luxury Villa Vie Odyssey should be sunning themselves in the Bahamas today after seeing Norway’s majestic fjords and northern lights, soaking up the romance of France and taking in the delights of Spain and Portugal.
Instead, they spent four months in not-so-sunny Belfast after the ship — meant to circumnavigate the globe every three years — was beset by repairs, inspections and delays.
It was stuck at the docks of Harland & Wolff, famous for building the ill-fated Titanic.
Last week the owners of the dock went bankrupt, which meant they had nowhere to board passengers, causing a further delay of five days.
Jubilant travellers finally hit the high seas on Monday, only to spend the night moored off the coast of Northern Ireland before going BACK to Belfast again.
Last night the 200 or so beleaguered passengers were hoping to finally get going for real after the crew turned the ship around to deal with last-minute paperwork.
The voyagers have stayed upbeat as many enjoyed the hospitality of Ireland, staying in hotels and Airbnbs.
Others took up the offer of a free holiday in the Canaries while some toured Europe.
Two passengers even fell in love during their time in the Emerald Isle and will marry on board next April after getting matching Celtic tattoos.
Canadian Gian Perronic, 62, and Angie Harsanyi, 53, from Colorado, will exchange vows in a “gigantic wedding” between Costa Rica and Panama after he proposed.
Gian said: “I don’t think we could have picked a better place to end up.
“We’ve enjoyed the pubs — my liver is crying a little bit.”
Most of those on the ship have bought their cabins and intend to travel the world for at least three years. Others have rented accommodation for segments of the cruise.
The trip offers seaborne nomads the chance to actually reside on board, and many sold their homes to afford the opportunity. It meant they had nowhere to go when delays hit.
Others have cabins as second homes and will join different legs of the voyage.
John Hennessee, 76, and his wife Melody, 64, sold their Florida home to buy a cabin on the continuous cruise and hope to stay on the ship for the rest of their lives.
They spent their four months stranded converting their living quarters into a two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite — the largest one on the ship, Melody said.
She added: “We embraced the city and all it had to offer. The people there are so friendly and kind.”
Tension and worry built all day — was yet another disappointment brewing? But finally, it all worked out
Randy Cassingham
The cruise saga has echoes of the 2017 stage musical Come From Away, which told the real-life story of 6,579 airline passengers who were left stranded in a tiny town in Newfoundland, Canada, following the 9/11 terror attacks.
Residents welcomed the passengers with open arms, clothing, feeding and entertaining them.
Just like the families in the town of Gander, Belfast residents gave a warm welcome to tourists in pubs, hotels and restaurants.
It was not quite what holidaymakers had planned when they booked themselves on the perpetually travelling Odyssey, which will visit 425 ports in 147 countries in all seven continents.
Passengers can join the ship at different stages of the voyage or buy a permanent cabin for around £75,000, with monthly fees of £1,870 for one person or £2,620 for a couple.
It boasts 484 cabins, three restaurants, five bars, a library, pool and gym as well as a golf simulator and a business centre.
Cruisers, mostly from the US and Canada, were meant to set sail on May 30.
But the Odyssey was hit by mechanical issues, repairs on its rudder shafts, steel hull and gear box and official inspections which sent costs soaring £10million over the original £12million budget.
At first, Villa Vie Residences, which operates the vessel, paid for travellers’ hotels and food, as well as holidays to the Canaries. But in the middle of last month it offered them onboard credit instead.
Passengers were delighted when they finally boarded on Monday.
Holly Hennessy, 67, from Florida, exclaimed: “I’m on board! In my cabin! I love my ship home!”
She is travelling with her cat Captain and says he is happy with ship life, adding: “I used to live on my own boat so he’s used to it.”
Shirene Thomas, 50, of North Carolina, said she had tried to be patient during the ship repairs, adding: “You gotta be flexible and roll with the tide, pun intended.”
Many boarding carried souvenirs from Ireland, including one man who proudly showed off a self-assembled model of the Titanic.
US travel blogger Andy Garrison, 75, said he arrived in Belfast for what he thought would be three days in August to join the trip — and ended up there for six weeks.
He filled the time building his Titanic model but insisted it was not a bad omen, saying: “I’m going to put this on the wall of my room.”
Cyndi Grzybowski, 69, from Appling, Georgia, said: “We started off as strangers and now we truly are a family.”
Before setting sail on Monday, 65-year-old writer Randy Cassingham, from Colorado, said: “Tension and worry built all day — was yet another disappointment brewing? But finally, it all worked out.”
Except it didn’t. The vessel only made it to Bangor in Co. Down around 30 miles away before anchoring overnight.
The crew were told to return to Belfast to complete some final pieces of paperwork yesterday but were due to leave for real last night.
It would be wonderful if we can make this work so I can start living my dream
Bonny Kelter
One passenger will not be making the trip after being kicked off the cruise for allegedly being “negative” on a WhatsApp group.
Bonny Kelter, 66, from New Jersey, paid more than £75,000 for a cabin but claims she was one of two women who had their contracts terminated in July for making critical comments of the voyage.
Nine boxes and two suitcases of her possessions are still on board, along with medicines and a safe full of jewellery.
She went back home to stay in an Airbnb after selling her house to fund the trip, but was unable to get back to Ireland before the Odyssey set sail.
Bonny is now hoping to reach a deal with the owners to join at a later stage, saying: “It would be wonderful if we can make this work so I can start living my dream.”
But as the ship approached Belfast last night to resolve the 11-hour paperwork issues, passengers claimed the vessel had been hit by yet ANOTHER delay.
There were reports there was no free berth for the boat to move into so they were once again stranded in Belfast lock.
They were just ten miles from the city when the ship stopped and its engine was switched off.
No official announcement had been made on board.
The latest blow came after Villa Vie Residences chief executive Mike Petterson said he was a “little stressed” as he worked to clear “a few last-minute things”.
Asked how he would remember Belfast, he told reporters: “Your summer is horrible, you can’t cook to save your lives, but you do know how to drink.”
