Country star Dolly Parton has said she is \u201ctruly sorry\u201d to those who have tickets to see her in Las Vegas as she announced she is cancelling her previously postponed residency due to ill health.<\/p>\n
The 80-year-old told her Instagram followers that \u201ceverything I have is treatable\u201d but said it would take a while \u201cbefore I\u2019m up to stage-performance level\u201d.<\/p>\n
What we know<\/p>\n
In a video posted to her official Instagram account, she said the medication she is on \u201cmake me a lit bit swimmy-headed, as my grandma used to say\u201d. Parton was originally due to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December, but was forced to postpone them due to unspecified \u201chealth challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n

Last year, Parton posted a video to social media joking that she \u201cain\u2019t dead yet\u201d, following public speculation about her health.<\/p>\n \t MUSIC<\/p>\n 3 min read<\/p>\n \t CULTURE<\/p>\n 3 min read<\/p>\n NEWS<\/p>\n The supermarket using invisible spray to combat shoplifting<\/p>\n Co-op has been secretly marking frequently shoplifted groceries with a special forensic spray to tackle the resale of stolen goods. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s how the invisible spray works, and how the company hopes it will make shoplifting less profitable. <\/p>\n \nWhat\u2019s the story?\n<\/p>\n Co-op has been marking items with an invisible spray that contains a unique forensic code linked to the shop where it was originally sold, according to Retail Gazette.<\/p>\n Co-op has invested \u00a3250m in store security, including body-worn cameras for staff, reinforced kiosks for items such as spirits and tobacco, and shelf fixtures designed to stop thieves sweeping products into bags. <\/p>\n How does the scheme work? <\/p>\n Where? <\/p>\n The scheme has been trialled in Manchester and London and will be rolled out across the UK. <\/p>\n Which items? <\/p>\n High-risk items such as alcohol, laundry detergent and confectionary have been sprayed. <\/p>\n Why? <\/p>\n The aim is to help Co-op and the police identify where stolen products are being resold, making theft less profitable. <\/p>\n \t NEWS<\/p>\n 2 min read<\/p>\n NEWS<\/p>\n Police seek UK trial for Madeleine McCann suspect <\/p>\n Met Police detectives are reportedly seeking to bring UK charges against sex offender Christian Brueckner over the abduction and murder of Madeleine McCann. <\/p>\n But the German constitution prevents the extradition of its citizens to non-EU countries, which could lead Berlin to reject the request.<\/p>\n Why Brexit could stop Brueckner from\u00a0being tried in Britain<\/p>\n Detectives are reportedly trying to bring the Madeleine McCann\u00a0suspect to the UK for trial \u2013 but a Brexit-related rule could stop it.<\/p>\n Since 2021, Britain and Germany have had a\u00a0reciprocal extradition pact under the EU\u2013UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.<\/p>\n But under Article 16 of the German constitution, no citizen can be extradited to a non-EU country.<\/p>\n Before Brexit, Brueckner could have been extradited to the UK without issue.<\/p>\n Germany is one of 10 EU countries that has imposed a \u2018nationality bar\u2019, which blocks\u00a0extradition of its own citizens.<\/p>\n What happened? <\/p>\n Madeleine was three years old when she went missing from a resort in Portugal in 2007. Christian Brueckner was living a mile away.<\/p>\n He was named by British police as a prime suspect while serving a prison sentence in Germany for rape, but denies involvement in Madeline\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n \t Explained<\/p>\n 4 min read<\/p>\n \nWhat are the options?\n<\/p>\n One option could be for Brueckner to be extradited from Germany to Portugal, where he could either be prosecuted or extradited to the UK. He could still be extradited to the UK if he left Germany. <\/p>\n The lead German prosecutor, Hans Christian Wolters, said the investigation is ongoing, but there are no plans for further searches in Portugal or elsewhere. <\/p>\n WORLD<\/p>\n The European nation being torn apart by migrant amnesty<\/p>\n People queued overnight outside the embassy of The Gambia in Madrid to get legal documents under Spain\u2019s migration amnesty programme. <\/p>\n But when they were told no appointments were available, some clambered over the wall in chaotic scenes that went viral. <\/p>\n \nWhat\u2019s the latest?\n<\/p>\n Anxiety over Spain\u2019s divisive immigration scheme<\/p>\n Many migrants travelled from across Spain and paid \u20ac120 (\u00a3104) each to get legal documents.<\/p>\n The scheme, which runs until the end of June,\u00a0offers undocumented migrants a one-year legal resident permit.<\/p>\n The Gambian embassy incident\u00a0prompted renewed criticism of\u00a0the left-wing government\u2019s scheme.<\/p>\n It highlighted pressures on officials dealing with a huge number of cases in a short period of time. <\/p>\n \nDo Spaniards support the scheme?\n<\/p>\n The latest poll shows\u2026<\/p>\n 52% for, 48% against<\/p>\n The scheme is expected to grant at least 500,000 migrants legal status, although police have predicted that more than one million could take advantage of it. <\/p>\n \t WORLD<\/p>\n 4 min read<\/p>\n Spain chooses \u2018dignity, community and justice\u2019 <\/p>\n Some say we have gone too far, that we are going against the current.

It will be rolled out to 40 hospitals across Britain and Europe.<\/p>\n How new forceps could revolutionise childbirth<\/p>\n Around one in eight people will have an assisted vaginal birth using forceps or vacuum extraction. <\/p>\n Women may have bleeding or tears and marks can be left on the baby.<\/p>\n Inflatable forceps work by surrounding the baby\u2019s head with a soft air cuff, allowing doctors to help remove it more gently. <\/p>\n In trials, patients reported no or low pain in more than 95 per cent of births where OdonAssist was used.<\/p>\n \t Analysis<\/p>\n 5 min read<\/p>\n How \u2018gentle\u2019 forceps were invented<\/p>\n From a prototype using a jar and a doll to development by the World Health Organisation (WHO). <\/p>\n The OdonAssist was thought up by a mechanic in Argentina in 2006 called Jorge Od\u00f3n. <\/p>\n He created the first prototype using a jar, a cloth and his daughter\u2019s doll.<\/p>\n It was then taken up by Mario Merialdi, of the WHO, who refined the idea for clinical use.\u00a0<\/p>\n It was\u00a0created by Maternal Newborn Health Innovations, a public benefit corporation to help reduce avoidable pain. <\/p>\n music<\/p>\n Careless Whisper voted nation\u2019s favourite<\/p>\n George Michael\u2019s beloved 1984 hit has been ranked the number one track for the eighth year running.<\/p>\n His 1986 hit A Different Corner came in at number two.<\/p>\n I\u2019m never gonna dance again<\/p>\n Careless Whisper came top of Smooth Radio\u2019s All Time Top 500 list.<\/p>\n Michael\u2019s first breakaway single from Wham!, he penned the lyrics when he was just 17-years-old.<\/p>\n Smooth Radio presenter Kate Garraway said: \u201cIt\u2019s a fitting tribute to one of the greatest artists of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n \t MUSIC<\/p>\n 7 min read<\/p>\n \nTop of the pops\n<\/p>\n 1Careless\u00a0Whisper\u00a0\u2013 George Michael<\/p>\n 2A Different Corner \u2013 George Michael<\/p>\n 3Bohemian Rhapsody \u2013 Queen<\/p>\n 4Man In The Mirror \u2013 Michael Jackson<\/p>\n 5Bridge Over Troubled Water \u2013 Simon and Garfunkel<\/p>\n ROYAL FAMILY<\/p>\n Princess Eugenie pregnant with third child<\/p>\n Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank are \u201cvery pleased\u201d to be expecting their third child to be born this summer, Buckingham Palace said.<\/p>\n The King is \u201cdelighted\u201d with the news, while the couple\u2019s sons August, five, and Ernest, two, are \u201cvery excited\u201d to welcome a younger sister or brother to the family.<\/p>\n What you need to know<\/p>\n In a photograph shared by Eugenie, 36, Ernest and August can be seen holding a picture of a baby scan.

Some may be put on a ventilator.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t Under a \u201creset\u201d deal which the Prime Minister agreed in principle with the EU last year<\/a>, the UK will follow the bloc\u2019s agri-food rules in exchange for the majority of border checks on animal and plant shipments being dropped. The Government said this would help to keep costs down at the supermarket.<\/p>\n A UK-EU summit later this summer will set out the next steps for the post-Brexit relationship.<\/p>\n
