Patsy Palmer was invited to talk to Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain today but the interview came to a sudden end when the EastEnders star saw what was written on the banner displayed below her. The GMB presenters were horrified by the actress response and apologised but Patsy cut off the interview. 

Ben asked: “Did you move to Malibu to get away from people shouting ‘Ricky’ at you in the streets?”

“Not really,” Patsy replied. “Not just for that reason, maybe one of them.”

“Well, Patsy do you know what?” Susanna began. “You have done what Meghan and Harry which is get away from the UK, go off to California and set up a new life. 

“And I know you’ve spoken about Meghan and Harry as well. I wonder whether you do get more privacy over there?”

“That’s a terrible shame, our apologies to Patsy and well she’s entitled not to do the interview and we carry on,” Susanna said. 

Later on, discussing the interview, Ben quipped: “There’s a link isn’t there? I wasn’t here previously, there’s a common denominator.

“I just want to say the really important thing is our intention was never to upset Patsy Palmer. We were very keen to talk to her, Patsy has talked in the past, she’s talked in her book particularly about her addiction, her stints in rehab and now she has a wellness brand.

“She’s promoting that and it was the journey that she’s been on to get to where she is today, what she’s learnt and that’s what we mistakenly misread.”

“It wasn’t intended as an ambush,” Susanna said and Ben added: “Not for a minute and we do apologise to Patsy.”

GMB viewers shared their support for Patsy on Twitter as one wrote: “Patsy Palmer swerving #gmb is the best thing I’ve seen since Piers did it.”

“Patsy Palmer needs to own her past. It doesn’t define who you are now. Acknowledge what you’ve overcome and own it. Besides it looked like she couldn’t be bothered to do the interview from the start #GMB,” another said. 

While a third added: “@GMB I’m absolutely disgusted by your treatment of @patsypalmerx this morning! Handled with true dignity by Patsy. I think GMB’s days are numbered! 

Someone else shared: “@patsypalmerx Well Done Patsy, putting GMB in their place! They throw whatever they like on the screen, not caring about the individual, good for you, a new craze has started, Doing a Piers!”

In 2015, a college student in Texas named Elizabeth Moreno had back surgery to correct a painful spinal abnormality. The procedure was a success, and her surgeon followed it with just a short-term prescription for the opioid painkiller hydrocodone to ease a speedy recovery. Then came a “routine” urine drug test, ostensibly to ensure she didn’t abuse the powerful drug.

A year later, she got the bill for that test. It was $ 17,850.

She understandably didn’t see it coming, according to a report on her case in Kaiser Health News. The surgery was covered by her insurance and she had weaned herself off the painkiller with no problems. When the surgeon’s office asked for the urine test in mid-January 2016,  “I didn’t think anything of it,” Moreno told KHN. “I said fine, whatever.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — A British company hired to train Afghan intelligence officers billed the U.S. government for high-end cars, including Porsches and an Aston Martin, and paid the “significant others” of the firm’s top executives six-figure salaries even though there’s no proof they did any work, according to details of a Pentagon audit made public Wednesday.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said New Century Consulting also spent $ 42,000 on automatic weapons, using cash to get around a prohibition in the contract on purchasing the firearms, and showered other personnel with hefty pay and bonuses they hadn’t earned. Overall, the military contractor “left taxpayers on the hook for over $ 50 million in questionable costs,” McCaskill said in a statement.

McCaskill, the top Democrat on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, summarized the audit’s major findings in a letter to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. She demanded to know which Defense Department office was responsible for overseeing the contractor, what steps are being taken to recover the disputed payments, and whether New Century Consulting will face disciplinary action.

Michael Grunberg, chief executive officer of New Century Consulting, said the company is being portrayed unfairly and that it strives to follow federal acquisition rules. Grunberg said it “is most unfair and is significantly inaccurate” that the executive assistants received excessive salaries.

He said the audit “questioned solely the use and depreciation treatment of vehicles” and that New Century Consulting “accounted for no more than three vehicles across the entire business at any one time.” The purchase of the weapons was done properly and at the direction of the U.S.-led command overseeing the training and equipping of the Afghan security forces, according to Grunberg.

McCaskill’s disclosure of the audit’s key findings is a rare glimpse into the opaque world of battlefield contracting. Contractors are indispensable in Afghanistan, handling security, transportation, construction and more. Yet the Defense Department has faced widespread criticism that it often fails to perform rigorous oversight of the companies and how exactly U.S. taxpayer dollars are spent.

The report also comes amid the tense debate inside the Trump administration over the way ahead in Afghanistan. Two of President Donald Trump’s most senior advisers — chief strategist Steve Bannon and son-in-law Jared Kushner — have been advocating for military contractors to fight the war there instead of American forces.

The United States has about 8,400 troops in Afghanistan, and so far Trump has resisted the Pentagon’s recommendations to send as many as 4,000 more. The Associated Press reported last week that Blackwater Worldwide founder Erik Prince, the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, was approached by Trump’s top advisers to develop proposals to gradually swap out U.S. troops and put contractors in their place.

The Defense Contract Audit Agency examined New Century Consulting’s invoices between fiscal years 2008 and 2013, when it was a subcontractor to another company, Imperatis Corporation. Among the costs charged to the U.S. were expenditures for seven high-end cars — Porsches, Alfa Romeos, a Bentley, an Aston Martin and a Land Rover, according to McCaskill’s letter to Mattis. The actual cost of the vehicles isn’t specified.

“NCC claimed that the vehicles were available to all employees but the vehicles actually were used exclusively by the chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer and the significant others of the CEO and CFO,” McCaskill told Mattis. Her letter doesn’t identify who the significant others are.

These “significant others” also were employed by New Century Consulting as executive assistants and had an average salary in 2012 of close to $ 420,000 each even though McCaskill said the company was unable to provide evidence they actually performed any work.Claire McCaskillJ. Scott Applewhite/AP

The audit also challenged millions of dollars in compensation for other employees, including the consultants whom the company sent to Afghanistan to train the forces there. McCaskill said the consultants were supposed to be paid at a 100 percent rate when deployed overseas, but only at 60 percent when on leave. But New Century Consulting gave its consultants the full rate regardless of where they were.

“These excessive payments cost taxpayers over $ 15 million,” she wrote.

New Century Consulting also gave its consultants more than $ 3.3 million in bonuses that they either didn’t earn or that weren’t required by their contracts, according to the senator.

McCaskill said the audit, completed last year, was conducted partly in response to concerns she and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, had raised after the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction identified a litany of problems with Imperatis’ billing and record-keeping practices. The Defense Contract Audit Agency doesn’t publicly release its audits.

Imperatis had a contract dating to 2007 for intelligence training in Iraq. The work shifted to Afghanistan in 2010. Three years later the Army Contracting Command awarded New Century Consulting a contract all its own to professionalize the intelligence units within the Afghan ministries of defense and interior. Imperatis went out of business last year.

The two companies were paid $ 522.4 million overall, according to contract data compiled by the special inspector general.

Army Contracting Command didn’t respond to a request for comment.

McCaskill said the Defense Contract Audit Agency is currently auditing New Century Consulting’s billings through early 2016 on the contract it received as its arrangement with Imperatis was ending.

To Brabus, the minuscule, underpowered Smart Fortwo is the foundation on which the “ultimate city sports car” is meant to be built. The tuner has been churning out Smart-based creations for years, and the Ultimate 125 is the latest, sitting high above the regular Smart Fortwo Brabus.

–

Fortunately, it’s easy to tell where Brabus’s hyperbole ends and reality begins. In the same sentence in which Brabus refers to the Ultimate 125 as a “supercar,” it also notes that the little runabout’s peak horsepower figure stands at a dwarfish 123 ponies. Don’t get us wrong; that’s a decent amount of power for something as small as the Smart Fortwo. The 34-hp bump over the stock turbocharged three-cylinder engine, which comes by way of a Brabus-tweaked intake, intercooler, and engine-management system, drops the claimed zero-to-60-mph time to a blistering 9.2 seconds and raises the top speed to a harrowing 109 mph.

The car’s performance, such as it is, hardly steals the show. That’s the job of the Ultimate 125’s Widestar body kit, 18-inch forged-aluminum wheels, and trio of exhaust outlets. Did you notice the color? It’s called Blu Glauco. Brabus even slathered much of the interior in leather dyed in the same hue, although buyers can opt for “any imaginable color” inside or out—presumably even tasteful ones. While the Fortwo cabriolet is shown here, it is also available as a hardtop coupe.

–

In total, Brabus will build 125 Ultimates. Prices are just as ultimate, or ultimately shocking: The coupe starts at the equivalent of $ 52,970 at current exchange rates. The cabrio costs even more, but can you put a price on the “ultimate city sports car”?
