ALLY PALLY has been left stunned after EastEnders icon Shaun Williamson belted out a 1980s hit on the stage. The actor - who played Barry - took to the stage to perform for the crowd. Williamson , 59, was filmed by audience members singing the 1987 Labi Siffre tune '(Something Inside) So Strong'. He was joined in his performance by the backing darts cheerleaders as they danced along. As he finished, plenty of fans from the seats applauded his efforts. A video of the performance was shared on social media with many fans loving it. One posted: "The moment of 2024. The man is an icon." A second wrote: "Cultural icon." A third commented: "Try telling me the darts is not the greatest show on earth!" A fourth said: "Incredible."

Every Black Friday, there’s a number of viral products that everyone has on their Christmas wish list, and we don’t expect this year to be any different. However, not all of these popular items are going to stay in stock, and we have some insight on the ones that won’t. Black Friday is big business, and last year shoppers spent $222.1 billion during the entire holiday shopping season, according to Queue-it. Sales on Black Friday reached $16.4 billion (online and in stores), and this was a 9% increase from the year before. While it comes as no surprise that electronics are the most sought-after products of the holiday season, Queue-it said this accounts for the majority of holiday sales, jumping to $50.8 billion in 2023. Apparel, furniture, groceries and toys are the other hot sellers of Black Friday. Together, these five categories accounted for 65% of sales during the holidays last year and is only expected to grow in 2024. While many items that sell out over Black Friday are driven by a good deal, we also know that a hot product is just that — a gift that most people want to open on Christmas Day. So, here are our picks for the top 10 hot-ticket items that could sell out over Black Friday. The holidays are ripe for TV deals, and we expect shoppers to buy a ton of them in 2024, especially at Walmart. Consumers are trending toward bigger TVs and the super low-price deals over Black Friday force many models to sell out. This is especially true of popular models from Samsung, Hisense, LG and more favorites. Apple's smartwatches are a top pick among Apple fans. We’ve seen prices on the Apple Watch continue to trend downward, which was only spurred by the release of the new Apple Watch 10 in September. This pushed down prices on earlier models, with the best deals coming on the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch 9. For Black Friday, we think the prices will drop even lower and sell out due to high demand. Beats Solo3 Amazon.com Wireless headphones are one of the most popular products of 2024, and Beats are one of the top brands. We’re already seeing big markdowns on Beats Wireless Headphones, and we expect these price drops to continue into Black Friday. The Beats Solo3 is likely to be on sale for even cheaper than we’ve already seen, and we think they will sell out for Black Friday, with the possibility of other popular Beats headphones joining them. If you haven’t picked up a pair of Apple AirPods yet, this could be your year to do it. With Apple launching a fourth generation of AirPods earlier this year, the price on prevvious models are creeping lower. We think over Black Friday they’ll be at their cheapest price ever, with the AirPods (3rd Gen) likely to sell out. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts Bluetooth speakers are a must-have for many this year, and with the big sound that comes from JBL’s speakers, it’s easy to see why they might sell out for Black Friday. These popular speakers come in a variety of portable sizes and waterproof designs. We expect big deals on JBL’s top-rated Clip 5 and Flip 6 Bluetooth speaker models. Apple iPad (10th Gen) Amazon.com One of Apple’s most sought-after products of the year was the iPad, and we saw the 9th Gen and 10th Gen models drop to their lowest prices ever. We think this year will bring some iPad bliss with even better discounts, but these deals will disappear just as fast as they arrive. We think that mega discounts on the iPad (9th Gen) and iPad (10th Gen) could cause sell outs, especially on Amazon. The Dyson Airwrap just might be the top product of Black Friday, as this is one of the rare times there’s a discount on the beloved hair styling tool. At $600, the Airwrap carries a hefty price tag, so any discount presented is a welcome surprise. But as we’ve seen in the past, any Black Friday deal on the Dyson Airwrap causes a crush of interest that’s followed by a sell out. Ugg Tasman slippers Amazon.com If you’ve tried to scoop up the UGG Tasman Slippers in previous years, you already know they never stay in stock for long. As the “it” slipper of the holiday season, UGG’s Tasman sells out multiple times over the holidays, even without a discount offered. We think that this year will be similar, with popular sizes and colors of the Tasman Slipper snatched up fast over Black Friday. Bissell Little Green Amazon.com The Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner is a popular home product that just can’t seem to stay in stock. With prices falling under $90, this mighty machine can be a blessing for pet owners and parents, as its compact size makes it easy to store and use when needed. We’ve seen the Little Green Machine sell out before, and we’d be surprised if it didn’t do it again over Black Friday. We’d be remiss if we didn’t include a top toy that we think will be hard to find and gift this year. Our pick is the Furby Galaxy Edition. This glow-in-the-dark Furby is based on the original Furby from the late ’90s with even more features, interactive modes and more fun. Making a comeback in 2023, we saw the revival of this popular toy sell out last year, and we expect the new Furby Galaxy Edition to do the same.

Probe shows exported rice not contaminated in Pakistan Inquiry focuses on verifying integrity of Pakistan’s rice value chain and testing rice samples for GMO traces ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of National Food Security and Research (MNFSR) strongly refutes the claims regarding the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) rice in Pakistan, as reported recently in media. The allegations suggesting contamination in Pakistani rice exports due to GMO seeds are unfounded and not reflective of the Ministry’s official position. Following the receipt of a Rapid Alert Notification from the European Union (EU) through the EU-Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) on August 2, 2024, the Department of Plant Protection (DPP), an attached department of MNFSR, promptly initiated a comprehensive inquiry into the matter. The inquiry focused on verifying the integrity of Pakistan’s rice value chain and testing rice samples for GMO traces. Key findings of the inquiry included that the samples collected from the rice processing units and seed stock were tested at national and internationally accredited laboratories. Reports from these laboratories, including Eurofins and National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetics Engineering (NIBGE), Faisalabad, confirmed that Pakistani rice production and export consignments were free from any GMO contamination. It was determined that the flagged consignment of organic rice was repacked and re-exported by a Dutch company. Subsequent sampling in Germany indicated the possibility of cross-contamination during repacking, marketing, or sampling processes, rather than at the source in Pakistan. The comprehensive investigation reaffirms that Pakistan’s rice production and export systems strictly adhere to non-GMO standards. The MNSR emphasizes that ensuring compliance with international food safety and phytosanitary standards remains a top priority. The Ministry has taken up the matter with the EU authorities and requested clarity on the testing processes and potential points of cross-contamination during repacking or marketing stages. Pakistan is committed to maintaining its reputation as a reliable supplier of premium-quality, GMO-free rice to global markets.The Red Sox new-look bullpen is beginning to take shape, but will the club's recent additions be enough?
