Kempton’s future uncertain with new rules bringing wrecking ball closer

MPs are to discuss the potential impact of the government’s relaxation of planning regulations with one of racing’s most historic venues in peril newsindata.org

The “future of British horse racing” – and perhaps most immediately, the future of Kempton Park – will be the subject of a debate in Westminster Hall on Tuesday afternoon after Lincoln Jopp, the Conservative member for Spelthorne, secured parliamentary time for MPs to discuss the potential impact of the government’s recent relaxation of planning regulations on the country’s second-biggest spectator sport.

There are 58 active British racecourses, or 59 if you count Newmarket’s Rowley Mile and July courses separately. Plenty are situated on land that could be much more attractive to developers after the introduction of the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025, which aims to accelerate the planning (and appeals) process and release Green Belt land for development when planning authorities cannot meet housing targets elsewhere.

Sebastian Stan shaved his head, and now DC fans think he's playing an entirely different villain in The Batman 2

Despite rumors that he'd join the cast as Two-Face, Sebastian Stan has seemingly been spotted with a brand-new look while filming The Batman 2... and now DC fans think he might be playing Victor Zsasz in the upcoming sequel.

Here's the thing: The Batman 2 is indeed currently filming, but it hasn't been verified yet that this is a photo from July 2026 (and you can see it for yourself below). Stan shaved his head bald for Fjord, a legal thriller drama that was shot in 2025 and premiered at Cannes in May 2026. If this is a recent photo, that means Stan isn't playing Harvey Dent aka Two-Face after all... and there's some truth to the June 2026 report from The Insneider that claims Stan is playing sadomasochistic creepazoid Victor Zsasz, and that Brian Tyree Henry is playing Harvey Dent.

Though you may not be familiar with Zsasz, we've already seen him three times in live-action form: Tim Booth plays a version that works as an enforcer for Carmine in Batman Begins; Anthony Carrigan played him in the TV show Gotham, and Chris Messina portrayed him as a killer-for-hire who works for Black Mask in Birds of Prey. Zsasz first appeared in Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1 back in 1992, and is known for carving a tally mark into his skin to represent each of his victims.

One fan shared an alleged screenshot from Stan's stylist Michael Fisher, in which he seems to have posted a fan-made photo of Stan as Harvey Dent in response to the clean-shaven photo... so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The Batman 2 is set to hit theaters on October 1, 2027. For more, check out our list of all the upcoming DC movies and shows.

Russiske oljepriser stuper og rammer Kremls økonomi

Konflikten i Midtøsten var en prøvelse for mange og førte til en kraftig økning i drivstoffprisene, noe som igjen påvirket mange andre områder. Men ikke alle beklaget de høyere drivstoffprisene; Russland, for eksempel, var fornøyd med å få mer penger for oljen sin, noe som blant annet styrket landets evne til å føre krig og utføre terrorhandlinger mot Ukraina.

Men nå melder Reuters og andre at de gode tidene er over. Prisene på russisk olje er nå mindre enn halvparten av hva de var i midten av april, noe som igjen øker presset på den russiske økonomien.
