Overwatch 2’s new loot boxes include rare skin players never expected
Horoscope today, February 19, 2025: Daily star sign guide from Mystic Meg
OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes.
Read on to see what’s written in the stars for you today.
ARIES
March 21 to April 20
About-turns from people you trust can be tough to take, with the moon and Uranus in opposition – but you are up to the challenge.
If you do decide to offer another chance, this time must be the last time. Venus intensifies love.
It may not always be obvious in words, but passion can shine through in any actions.

TAURUS
April 21 to May 21
Simple words work best to dilute Mars’ complex influence, so resist dressing love feelings up too much.
At work, keep conversations short and focused.
At home, repeat your point of view just one more time before you expect a response.
Most vital of all, turn your inner self-talk positive and silence that critical voice.

There’s a wild streak in your health sector as the moon and Uranus clash, so beware of running unnecessary risks.
Stop and think, and seek advice from experts or someone you trust.
Choices you make today can re-route your physical future.
In passion terms, value what you have, before you look outside it.

CANCER
June 22 to July 22
Pluto brings you a day to play with unusual colours in clothes and surroundings, so you can transform the image you present to the world.
A business idea that has simmered for months in your mind can suddenly be on your lips.
Love is surprising – don’t try to label it, just enjoy it.
LEO
July 23 to August 23
How bonds form and operate at home is what occupies the moon and Saturn today.
A calm review of who does what can inspire a system that is more equal but more efficient too – and more fun.
Your observant eye can see straight to the heart of a passion question. So love stays steady, even if life gets stormy.

VIRGO
August 24 to September 22
How you reach out to people is what makes you special – because you leave everyone feeling great.
But Saturn’s word of caution is to avoid clinging to stale bonds or habits that you know you have outgrown.
A moon of clear emotional truth asks you to examine work and love motives honestly, and work with what you find.

LIBRA
September 23 to October 23
You have a chart of inner and outer knowledge. You know who or what you most need, the challenge is finding ways to get it.
Uranus may spring surprising ideas on your unsuspecting mind, but there can be a solid core of success here.
In love, silence feels powerful but it may weaken you. You are ready to be the strong one.

PARTY BEAR (6.00 Kempton, nap)
She was a much-improved model for Karl Burke when making her handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time. She was very green but kept going to finish a close-up second. Her mark has gone up a fair 2lb for that and stepping up to seven furlongs also looks a wise move.
PIKE ROAD (2.30 Ludlow, nb)
Showed promise when beaten less than four lengths at Catterick latest. He was a good second in a couple of novice contests over this trip before that good first run at handicap level. He likes some cut in the ground and doesn’t need much more to get off the mark.
PILGRIMS KING (5.03 Doncaster, treble)
Ran a cracker to win at Sedgefield last time despite his saddle slipping early in the contest. He came home strongly at that stamina-sapping track for in the-form Bowen training team. A 4lb rise in the weights looks more than fair.
ENCHANTED WAY (7.00 Kempton, Lucky 15)
Has been knocking on the door over this trip. She was a close-up third at Lingfield last time and the first-time blinkers can help her into the winners’ enclosure for Archie Watson.

Major supermarket launches stamps loyalty scheme giving shoppers freebies worth up to £30
A MAJOR supermarket is launching a new feature in its rewards scheme offering shoppers the chance to earn freebies worth £30.
Morrisons is today adding a stamps loyalty promotion to its More Card, meaning customers can get discounted or free Pyrex products.

The retailer is running the offer until June 8, with shoppers having to redeem any stamps by June 22.
Shoppers will earn one stamp for each £10 spent in-store, with them able to track how many stamps they have via the More Card app.
Once they’ve reached 15 stamps, they can either use them to get discounts on a host of containers.
Or, they can get them completely for free once reaching 30 stamps or above, depending on the price of the Pyrex product.
Shoppers will be able to get a 2.6litre dish worth £30 for free after collecting 50 stamps – equivalent to spending £500.
There are also a range of other Pyrex container sizes on offer including 600ml and 1.1litre tubs, as well as a hand pump which draws air out of the containers to keep food fresher for longer.
If you don’t have a More Card, you can sign up to the rewards scheme for free by downloading the app off Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Customers taking part in the promotion to win the Pyrex containers can still earn points on their purchases as per usual.
Kate Lavery, loyalty director for Morrisons, said: “More Card Prices and Points are now well loved and well understood by our customers so we started to think: what more can we offer More Card customers?
“We have come up with a new bonus layer – where in addition to the usual points and rewards, customers are awarded stamps which can be collected and redeemed for free high quality products.”
The new promotion from Morrisons comes after the supermarket started letting shoppers earn points on all products.
Up until early December, shoppers were only able to collect More Points or get discounts when purchasing selected products.
But the retailer rolled out the points system to a host of other items.
The supermarket previously rebranded its loyalty scheme to My Morrisons in 2021, replacing the Morrisons More brand and temporarily discontinuing the points collection system.
The previous scheme used to reward customers with digital vouchers that could be used for instant savings.
However, by 2023, Morrisons u-turned and decided to bring back its More Points scheme.
Remember, you can find your local shop by visiting my.morrisons.com/storefinder.
The latest change from Morrisons after Tesco and Asda made some tweaks to their reward schemes as well.
Tesco recently launched a trial offering shoppers personalised discounts and offers.
Meanwhile, Asda has ditched Star Products, with some shoppers saying they’ll boycott the retailer following the move.
How does the Morrisons More Card work?
The Morrisons More Card lets you earn points on purchases which can be used to get money off future shops.
Once you get to 5,000 points you can keep saving, or convert them into a voucher worth £5 to spend in-store or online.
You can’t earn loyalty points when buying certain products though, including tobacco, infant milk or formula and gift cards.
The full list of excluded products is on the Morrisons website.
The More Card also gives you access to personalised offers based on your shopping habits, including discounts on specific products or extra points on certain purchases.
You can get a physical More Card and scan it at the till or swipe a virtual card via the app when shopping in-store.
If you’re shopping online, you can link the More Card to your online shopping account and automatically get points on your purchases.

Company bosses face two years in jail if children can buy knives from their firms online
COMPANY bosses face two years in jail if children can buy knives from their firms online.
The government crackdown will also force suppliers to report bulk blade orders which may go to gangs or terrorists.


It came as Home Secretary Yvette Cooper echoed ex-PM Tony Blair and vowed to be “tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime”.
Ms Cooper is also considering forcing knife retailers to apply for a licence so only vetted suppliers are allowed to trade, and is launching a new anti-knife police unit with £1millin funding.
The package will form a new Ronan’s Law in honour of tragic 16-year-old Ronan Kanda who was killed three years ago in Wolverhampton in a case of mistaken identity.
Ronan’s killers illegally bought a ninja sword online and collected it from the Post Office on the day of the attack without proving their age.
His mum Pooja Kanda said last night: “I wish this was done years ago, and my son would be with me today.”
Ms Cooper said: “It is horrifying how easy it is for young people to get hold of knives online even though children’s lives are being lost, and families and communities are left devastated as a result.
“Not enough has been done to tackle the online market over recent years which is why we made it an urgent priority in our manifesto.
“The measures today will be underpinned by investment for a new dedicated police unit to go after those who are breaking the law and putting children and teenagers lives at risk.”
The measures follow a review by Knife Crime Commander Stephen Clayman.
We won’t go back to being best mates’ – George Russell no longer speaking to Max Verstappen after F1 feud
GEORGE RUSSELL has “no intention” of burying the hatchet with Max Verstappen following their explosive row last season.
The pair went to war in last year’s finale in Abu Dhabi, with the British 27-year-old claiming Verstappen threatened to put his “f***ing head in the wall” by deliberately crashing into him at the Qatar Grand Prix.


Four-time world champ Verstappen was branded a “bully” by Russell — with the Dutchman hitting back by labelling the Brit a “backstabber” and “loser” after he won the race, with his Mercedes rival trailing in fourth.
Russell — speaking at Tuesday night’s F1 75 event to celebrate the sport’s 75th anniversary at London’s O2 Arena — said he and the Red Bull driver “hadn’t spoken” over the winter.
He added: “I’ve got no intentions to, to be honest.
“That happened last year. I want to focus on myself.
“Things got out of line last year. We are not going to go back to being best mates, that’s for sure. I have no concerns about him or his driving.
“I made it pretty clear I’m not going to take it.
“But now it’s 2025 and I’m focused on the job and the job is to win.
“So I’m not going to change my approach, fighting him or fighting any other drivers. The goal is the same.”

And Verstappen admitted he will put the issue to one side. He said: “I have no intention to continue any beef in February.”
Meanwhile, the Dutchman laid into the FIA for their new extreme swearing rules for the upcoming campaign, urging them to focus on more important issues.
Fines will range from £34,000 to £152k, while Championship points can be docked and race bans handed out for repeat offenders.
In Singapore last year, Verstappen was ordered by FIA stewards to complete community work after dropping the F-bomb to describe his car.
The 27-year-old said: “If you look at everyone’s reaction to it, that says enough.
“In the heat of the moment when you get interviewed in your car, sometimes things slip out.
“We grew up playing sports, it happens, you use a swear word.
“We shouldn’t take it so seriously. I’m also not going to tell them how to behave in life.
“You need to use a bit of common sense and, besides that, I prefer we actually focus on other topics — to try to improve safety, try to improve the overall performance of Formula One cars — instead of actually having to focus on all these kind of things.”

Meanwhile, British McLaren driver Lando Norris says his team have “no excuses” if they are not competing at the front of the grid right from the off this season.
McLaren won their first constructors’ championship since 1998 last year but Norris was runner-up to Verstappen, 63 points adrift in the drivers’ standings.
Red Bull had dominated the first five races which ultimately left Norris with a mountain to climb.
With the countdown to the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on March 16 underway, he said: “After last year we have no excuses, I guess.
“In the past we’ve had our fair share but honest and true excuses.
“This year we don’t have any, we have nothing to hide behind.
“We proved last year we have everything we need and everything it takes to fight at the top and be the best.”
Brit mum stuck in Morrocan hospital after having heart attack on holiday and not being able to afford £22,000 bill

A MUM who had a heart attack while on holiday abroad has been threatened with arrest if she does not pay £22,000 in medical bills.
Collette Robinson, 58, was on a break in Morroco when she was taken ill by her hotel pool.


The mum of four was taken to a Marrakesh hospital, where doctors discovered she had had a heart attack and fitted her with a stent.
Former pub landlady Collette is still in the Clinique Averroès hospital a week later and needs to raise £22,000 to pay her bills.
Her son, Jack Gilder, said: “I’ve compared prices in Morocco and no one pays that much.
“She keeps having the threats of getting arrested.
“I have been in tears this whole time, normally you can fix things but I can’t fix this one.”
Jack said that Collette, of Manchester, forgot to update her travel cover after a previous heart attack — which meant she was not insured.
He said: “Her health is on the mend – I mean she’s not exactly going to run a marathon soon.
“But now it’s the mental side of things because they just want to let her home.
“She used to travel quite a lot and she has a travel insurance policy where she has always got cover.
“But she had a heart attack in September 2024 and I don’t know why, but she didn’t put that on.
“My mum just wanted to go on holiday – she didn’t even think about it.”

Arsenal in Alexander Isak blow as Newcastle demand second highest transfer fee in HISTORY to sell star striker
ARSENAL have been dealt a blow in their hopes of making Alexander Isak their new No9.
Newcastle have no desire to sell the star and instead want to build a team around him.



And it would take nearly DOUBLE the reported £82.9m fee for them to even respond to any potential bids.
That means the Swede would be the second most expensive player ever – inbetween Paris Saint-Germain‘s £198m capture of Neymar from Barcelona in 2017 and the £163m PSG paid Monaco for Kylian Mbappe in 2018.
Isak, 25, has emerged as one of the most-coveted players on the planet since his club-record £63m arrival from Real Sociedad in 2022.
He became the first Toon player since legend Alan Shearer two decades ago to hit 20 Premier League goals last term.
He is already on 17 in the top-flight this season and is also looking to achieve icon status by ending Newcastle’s 70-year major trophy drought in the Carabao Cup Final next month.
However, his red-hot form on Tyneside has caught the eye of a host of clubs across the continent but it is Toon’s Prem rivals that continue to be linked the most.
Arsenal are desperate for a striker with their lack of one looking set to cost them in the title race again.
They have held a long-term interest and are believed to be readying a swoop for later this year.

BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS
Meanwhile, Wembley opponents Liverpool and Chelsea would also both love to sign him.
Newcastle, though, are under no pressure to sell and have the hotshot tied down to a contract believed to be worth £130,000-a-week until 2028.
Despite reports claiming that Isak wants to “make a leap forward” and that he would be allowed to leave if a “fair proposal” was received should they fail to qualify for the Champions League, their stance is quite the opposite.
A figure of £82.9m was touted – but Newcastle have zero interest in making just a £20m profit on Isak.
Even if they do not finish in the top five, the club have come through three tough transfer windows without any major additions in order to bolster their PSR position.
And Eddie Howe is not only determined to hang on to Isak, he hopes to finally be able to bring in several new additions in order to compliment the likes of the forward, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon.
Newcastle have always been relaxed over Isak’s contract situation even when preliminary talks over a new package ceased last year due to the length of his current one.
Although further discussions are pencilled in once this season finishes.
Speaking on the situation earlier in the campaign, Newcastle boss Howe said: “I think with Alex he’s got a long contract anyway and we have to be really careful regarding our spending due to PSR. It’s not a clear-cut situation.


“We of course love him and are desperate for him to stay at Newcastle for many years and score loads and loads of goals for us, but I don’t see a short-term issue with his contract.”
Isak himself has also stated that he is not thinking about his future, saying in December: “Throughout my career, I have never talked about or really commented on the move rumours during the season.
“There have been many such years where it has been talked about.
“It doesn’t affect me. I am commenting on my situation in Newcastle, and I have never had any problem there.
“I am fully focused on my task there and that we will have a fantastic season.
“There are still great opportunities for that. I have no thoughts about anything else.
“The only thing I can say is that a lot of information and rumours often come out.
“Much of what I read is not true. So that’s about all I can say about the whole thing.”
‘You got it right, I lied’ – Pep Guardiola makes U-turn on Champions League prediction ahead of Real Madrid clash
PEP GUARDIOLA lied when he said Manchester City only have a one per cent chance of knocking out Real Madrid.
But the Spaniard still accepts his side will have to be “almost perfect” if they are to overturn a 3-2 Champions League play-off round first-leg deficit at the Bernabeu.

The Etihad chief wants his players to give the holders a “scare” and said: “Every time I say what I think, you don’t believe me but this time you got it right — I lied.”
With a smile on his face, Guardiola added: “It’s true I said it because after the match in England, we were out.
“Always it’s very tough coming to the Bernabeu, with the history but we’ve had good moments here.
“Let’s see if we can at least scare them and we’ll see what happens.”
Real manager Carlo Ancelotti laughed off Pep’s claims, saying: “Before the game I’ll ask him if he really thinks they have a one per cent chance of winning.
“We certainly don’t think we have a 99 per cent chance. We have a small advantage but have to make the most of it.”
City have won at the home of the Spanish giants before — back in 2020 — and will have to repeat that to stay in the competition.
Yet one thing his team have not been short of in this troubled season is goals — with 33 coming in their last ten games in all competitions.

They will need more if they are to get through as Madrid will fancy their chances of adding to the three they netted in the first leg.
That came after City threw away a 2-1 lead with just four minutes of normal time remaining to lose 3-2.
Guardiola said: “We have to be almost perfect but we are coming here with a situation that is not perfect. We have to attack and score goals.
“You have to play with courage, you have to be yourself. You have to play to win the game.”
Madrid have only ONCE failed to go through in this competition after winning the away leg first — and that was to Erik ten Hag’s Ajax in a 4-1 loss six years ago.
Guardiola said: “The pressure is there but it’s welcome. You cannot perform well without it.
“It depends how we play, how we handle the moments. In the big stadiums you have to suffer the bad moments.”
City have been boosted as Erling Haaland was passed fit despite jarring his knee on Saturday.
