BARGAIN Hunt star Charles Hanson promised his wife he would never lay a finger on her again days before his arrest, a court heard yesterday.

The BBC star, above, allegedly messaged it to Rebecca on June 5 2023, before adding: “Let’s just give it a go, we have been through a lot in 13 years.

“Let me show what a good husband I can be.”

But she replied: “You’ll never change.”

When the auctioneer, 46, asked for a two-week cooling off she said: “Past that point I’m afraid.”

She later texted she wanted to separate after he “pushed her too far”, Derby crown court heard.

Her mum, Jacqueline Ludlam, said the marriage was normal initially but Hanson’s outbursts became more frequent.

She told the court: “She had been telling me she was scared of him and she had got to get away from him.

“It was not very practical for her to leave.”

The star, of Mackworth, denies assault and coercive behaviour from 2012 until his arrest on June 14, 2023.

Trial continues.

Defiant Ukrainian military chiefs vow to ‘fight until the last death’ despite ceasefire calls by US and Russia

UKRAINIAN military chiefs yesterday vowed to “fight until the last death” — regardless of ceasefire calls by the US and Russia.

Their defiance came as the superpowers’ officials agreed a four-point plan to bring peace to a country ravaged by war for the past three years.

Ukraine was not invited to join the talks in Saudi Arabia and President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted he would not accept a deal if his nation was not directly involved.

In the Saudi capital Riyadh, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with a delegation from Moscow.

The two sides agreed to:

  • Reopen diplomatic missions in each other’s countries;
  • Set up a high-level negotiation team to agree peace terms;
  • Discuss cooperation that could help resolve the conflict;
  • Remain engaged in the process.

But Russian foreign minister ­Sergei Lavrov later insisted Moscow will not accept peacekeeping forces from Nato countries in Ukraine or Kyiv joining the defence alliance.

The negotiations, which sidelined Ukraine, sparked fury across the country’s army high command.

A senior army source told The Sun: “We will fight until the last death. We have nothing to lose. We are not going anywhere.”

He insisted Ukraine’s forces would keep battling “idiot” Russian ­President Vladimir Putin until a deal can be reached that guarantees Nato membership for Kyiv.

A senior armed forces leader, who cannot be named for security reasons, said: “The war is not about Ukraine and it won’t stop in Ukraine. Putin is coming to Europe and we can’t stop him forever.”

In the western city of Lviv, military leaders vowed not to be bullied into a peace deal with Russia.

They conceded Nato membership will not be achieved “for two to five years” but repeated Mr Zelensky’s vow that joining is essential.

Military leaders also praised PM Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to ­consider putting British boots on the ground in Ukraine.

One told The Sun: “Even hearing the words British boots, before anything has happened, is a huge morale boost for my people.”

They also praised the UK as a world leader in offering military support to Ukraine.

But they warned the key to winning the war is air attack and defence technologies and implored Britain to help Ukraine build up an army of drones and missiles.

Lavrov said it was “very useful” that both Russia and the US agreed to appoint ambassadors to Moscow and Washington.

But he flatly rejected suggestions that Britain, Europe or Nato nations could deploy peacekeeping troops.

JD Vance outraged Europe with free speech blast – but here's why many of us agree

BY Ross Clark

FOR all the attention paid to them, political speeches rarely leave any lasting impact.

Most are just bundles of platitudes which have been forgotten even before the applause has died down.

But in Germany last Friday we heard a stunning exception — and from a relative newcomer to politics.

The address to the Munich Security Conference by US vice president JD Vance will be remembered in years to come as a pivotal moment in US- European relations.

The fact that it has caused so much upset to so many European bigwigs is testament to what it set out to achieve — to tell painful home truths to cherished allies.

These were no off-the-cuff comments in the style of Donald Trump, a man who often likes to say outrageous things as an opening gambit in negotiations.

This was a carefully-crafted speech with a devastatingly simple point at its heart — that if you are going to defend a country or a continent you first have to be sure about what you are defending.

Europe’s problem, as Vance made clear, is that it has itself been lax in defending the ­values that it professes to uphold.

It is no use calling on your citizens to defend freedom and democracy from external threats if you are not yourself standing up for those things.

According to Russian state media, “the Russian delegation explained to the American interlocutors that the appearance of Nato troops in Ukraine is unacceptable”.

Sir Keir had said he was willing to put boots on the ground to guarantee an enduring peace. But he demanded a US “backstop”.

Defence Secretary John Healey also insisted only American military might could stop tyrant Putin.

He said yesterday: “We need a security guarantee for Ukraine, in Ukraine, that is capable of delivering what President Trump says he wants, which is a durable peace.

Trump blindsided allies

“That requires an end to the ­Russian attack and no repeat of that in the future. The European countries have to play a leading part in that guarantee.

“But it will require a backstop from the US, because in the end it is only the US that can provide the deterrence to Putin that will prevent him attacking again.”

The discussions about normalising relations sparked fears the US could be prepared to lift sanctions against Russia.

EU leaders insisted the bloc would keep theirs in place.

US President Donald Trump blindsided allies earlier this month by announcing peace talks after a phone conversation with Putin.

But there was anger at Ukraine being cut out of the discussions and Mr Zelensky said he feared a stitch-up.

US OR BUST

By Jerome Starkey, Defence Editor

ONLY US can deter Vladimir Putin, Defence Secretary John Healey said today.

Britain and Europe must play their part – but have no hope on their own.

Speaking after Keir Starmer demanded a “US backstop” to guarantee Ukraine’s security, he said: “In the end it is only the US that can provide the deterrence to Putin that will prevent him attacking again.”

He said deals crashed between Putin and Trump will need “a security guaruntee” to ensure it is a durabe peace.

Speaking at London’s institute for Government, he said: “We need a security guarantee for Ukraine in Ukraine that is capable of delivering what President Trump has says he wants, which is a durable peace.

“That requires an end to the Russian attack and no repeat of that in the future.

“The European countries have to play a leading part in that guarantee.

“But it will require a backstop from the US, because in the end it is only the US that can provide the deterrence to Putin that will prevent him attacking again.”

He added: “It seems like Russia and the US are preparing an ultimatum to Ukraine, talking about Ukraine without Ukraine.

“We didn’t accept ultimatums in 2022, when the situation was much more serious and nobody was helping us, and I have no intention of accepting any ultimatums now.”

The US yesterday said officials had agreed to appoint “high level” negotiating teams.

The State Department said: “President Trump wants to stop the killing; the United States wants peace and is using its strength in the world to bring countries together.

“President Trump is the only leader in the world who can get Ukraine and Russia to agree to that.”

But it warned: “One phone call followed by one meeting is not sufficient to establish enduring peace. We must take action, and today we took an important step forward.”

There was also anger yesterday after Lavrov hit out at claims ­Russia was targeting civilians when striking targets in Ukraine.

Illustration of Putin's demands for Ukraine peace talks, showing a map of Ukraine and Russia with key demands listed.

He told Russia’s RIA Novosti news outlet: “The US proposed a moratorium on attacks on energy facilities at the talks, Russia explained that it does not attack civilian facilities.

“Russia has never endangered Ukraine’s energy supply system.”

A UK defence source slammed his comments as a nonsense. And General the Lord Richard Dannatt, a former Chief of the General Staff, said: “It proves you cannot trust Russia. Anybody who thinks they can is deluding themselves.”

Lavrov himself admitted in 2022 it was Russia’s goal to “knock out energy facilities”.

But the UK’s Defence Intelligence said Russia fired 2,400 drones at Ukraine last month which “primarily targeted energy infrastructure”.

In the six months to August, ­Russia blitzed 36 power stations and more than 100 power facilities, according to UN monitors.

British boots in Ukraine has been met with Ukrainian joy

BY Noa Hoffman in Lviv and Kyiv

SIR Keir Starmer’s pledge to deploy “British boots in Ukraine” has been met with jubilance in Kyiv.

But in Britain it’s raised more questions than answers as to how Europe must respond to the war.

In eerie Kyiv men between 20 – 50 are few and far between on the frozen streets.

Most of them are stationed across the frontline, have been injured or died fighting what they see as not just a battle for Ukraine – but for the West and Europe and democracy.

From the UK they need certainty. Not empty words.

The PM knows he desperately needs to set out a path to spending 2.5 per cent of GDP on defence.

How is it feasible for thousands of troops to come and help desperate Ukrainians when Sir Keir hasn’t even explained how he will fund them?

In an empty restaurant in quiet Lviv, I watched as five Ukrainian security chiefs guzzled a shot of vodka.

It was around their fourth toast of night – easy work for these hard as nails military men.

Having drunk to the health of their country and army, this next drink was for Britain.  

The chiefs had heard Sir Keir Starmer pledge the possibility of peacekeeping British boots on Ukrainian soil. And for that they were elated.

The promise from the PM came in the wake of US President Donald Trump side-lining Kyiv to kickstart discussions on a deal to end the war with Vladimir Putin.

“Even hearing the words British boots, before anything has happened, is a huge morale boost for my people”, one military top brass told me as he slurped bright red Borscht.

The human tank added: “Many steps in the war are being made first by Britain and then others followed.

“It’s good leadership and this is how it should be. Someone needs to take the lead.”

What he and his top brass colleagues around the table weren’t seeing was the chaos the PM’s announced had sparked.

At home, former British Army chief Lord Dannatt warned the UK military is “so run down” it couldn’t lead any future peacekeeping mission to Kyiv.

Other military sources told The Sun’s defence man Jerome Starkey the army will be stretched to breaking point if thousands of troops go to hold the line in Ukraine.

In Paris last night, at an emergency meeting of leaders to strategize Europe’s response to Trump, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz slated Sir Keir’s proposal.

He told reporters: “It is completely premature and the completely wrong time to be having this discussion now.”

While the response went down more like a cup of cold sick than vodka with military leaders I met in Kyiv, Mr Scholz has somewhat of a point.

There are questions Sir Keir must answer – and fast.

Security chiefs tell me that more than anything, including British boots, they need weapons.

The future of the war is in the air, they say.

Drones, missiles, and air defence capabilities are in short supply but are key to stopping “idiot” Putin’s killing spree.

The war will be far more focused on tech than people in the not distant future. 

Responding to Scholz’s backlash against British peacekeepers, a former Ukrainian SAS man told me: “Germany doesn’t have to be afraid of the Russians. There’s no point in being scared.

“If we have well trained British military here on the second or third line it can be very helpful so we can send our people to the frontline.”

He added: “What I’m hearing from Germany is disappointing. Historically, Germany they are scared of Nazi flashbacks.

“There are people saying Germans can’t be on sovereign Ukrainian soil.

“This is bull**** said by people who support Russian propaganda.”

In Lviv I received a warning.

“We will fight until the death,” a security chief told me.

“We have nothing to lose. We are not going anywhere.

“But the war is not about Ukraine and it won’t stop in Ukraine.

“Putin is coming to Europe and we can’t stop him forever.”

Sir Keir’s words are welcomed – but it will be his plan of execution that really has any bearing on the devastating war.

So far that is missing.

FIRST the world, now Warrington!

All-conquering Luke Littler, 18, is being made a a citizen of honour in his home town.

The Nuke’s Ally Pally glory ‘spelt’ special recognition from a bus firm

The Nuke was named the 2024 BBC Young Sports Personality of Year before winning darts’ World Championship last month.

And after that Ally Pally glory, there was a unique example of his growing status as a local hero.

Warrington Buses displayed a glowing tribute on the electronic board at the front of one of their vehicles.

But that recognition earned cult status as the bright yellow caption managed a spelling mistake.

It read: “Congratulations, Luke Litter! [sic]. World Champion.”

Now it’s been proved you can wait ages for one local honour and suddenly two come along.

Because Warrington Borough Council are ready to formally salute his contribution to the community.

Littler’s roll-call of achievements has been crammed into an astonishing 15 months since reaching the 2024 world final aged 16 – peaking when he lifted the Ally Pally crown last month.

Just days later, Littler paraded the trophy at his beloved Manchester United.

In all, the Nuke has amassed 11 senior PDC titles and also won the Premier League, Grand Slam and Word Series Finals.

And his appeal and success extends well beyond just crowns.

Darts’ popularity has surged, largely thanks to the Nuke.

And he’s also played a major role in Prostate Cancer UK raising more than £1milion, as well as backing the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Meanwhile, Rugby League team Warrington Wolves will change the name of their venue from the The Halliwell Jones Stadium to the Luke Littler Stadium – for one night only.

That’s for Friday’s Super League clash against Catalans Dragons.

Forget about the bull, it seems the Nuke has also hit the maul’s eye!

Inside Littler's massive rise

LUKE LITTLER has taken the darts world by storm since exploding onto the scene at the PDC World Championship at the beginning of the year.

The Nuke reached the final on his Ally Pally debut at just 16 years of age – smashing records along the way.

He has then gone on to win a host of PDC events and the Premier League title – which he claimed at the O2 Arena by beating world champion Luke Humphries in May.

He also finished his first season in the World Series as the No1 ranked player.

He has joined Jude Bellingham on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list.

And the teenage titan even had to snub an invite from the WWE.

The Sun exclusively revealed that Littler is plotting to create a fitness empire.

He is also cashing in away from the Oche thanks to an Instagram side hustle.

And he’s even the face of a brand new cereal.

But he is newly single after splitting from girlfriend Eloise Milburn following a 10-month relationship.

‘What qualifies him?’ cry Celtic fans as unusual commentator chosen for Bayern Munich Champions League tie on Prime

CELTIC fans were left unimpressed with Amazon Prime’s choice of commentator for their team’s clash against Bayern Munich tonight.

The streaming giant gained exclusive rights for certain Champions League matches starting from this season, with the second leg of the Hoops’ play-off tie included.

Fans weren’t best pleased with their choice of co-commentator however[/caption]

All nine of Celtic‘s other European fixtures in this campaign have been shown on TNT Sports.

Those games have normally seen Hoops hero Joe Hart used for co-commentary duty.

But Amazon decided to go in a different direction and choose someone who has never played for Celtic – or indeed Bayern Munich.

In fact, the person in question never even played outside of England during their career.

Amazon have used Rangers hero Ally McCoist frequently alongside lead commentator Jon Champion and while his knowledge of Scottish football would have been welcomed, perhaps his association with the Hoops’ eternal rivals ruled him out of this one.

Instead, they picked Match of the Day regular Alan Shearer for the role at the Allianz Arena.

The Newcastle and England legend failed to inspire much positivity among the viewers, as Celtic went down 2-1 in heartbreaking circumstances over in Germany.

Shearer split opinion to say the least, with one fan asking: “What qualifies Alan Shearer to commentate on Celtic?

“Was it because Celtic did his testimonial and Adam Virgo had to score an own goal on purpose in order to create a narrative?”

Another said: Alan Shearer is atrocious, he has no idea about Celtic’s players, didn’t do any homework.”

One fan even demanded a refund from Amazon!

They said: “I took out prime for a month to watch Bayern Munich vs Celtic and I want a full refund.

“The commentators aren’t saying anything because they don’t follow Scottish or German football and obviously couldn’t care less.

“Alan Shearer is a terrible commentator anyway.”

However, as the game went on some fans appeared to warm to the Englishman and offered some compliments.

One Hoops supporter said: “Brilliant coverage by commentary team tonight on Prime. So much rooting for Celtic. Shearer really wants them to win.”

Another fan said: “Brilliant fitbaw Celtic… and keep up the great comms Alan Shearer!”

And a third said: “Don’t usually like listening to English co coms on Celtic games as they can be quite dismissive but Alan Shearer been so positive about our performance nice to hear.”

Chilling moment killer who stabbed to death mum & son, 29, as he tried to protect her is found covered in blood by cops

CHILLING footage shows the moment a killer who stabbed to death a mum and her son is arrested by cops covered in blood.

Calogero Ricotta, 64, killed his wife Maria Nugara, 54 and his 29-year-old stepson Giuseppe Morreale at the family home in Ugley, Essex, in May last year.

On Tuesday, Ricotta was found guilty of two counts of murder and one count of causing actual bodily harm to a third victim.

He was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 34 years in prison at Chelmsford Crown Court.

Footage released by Essex Police has now shown the moment cowardly Ricotta was accosted by cops following the murders.

The sick attacker was seen covered in blood as he made his way out of the house in Ugley as officers pointed flashlights at him.

Police were heard yelling at Ricotta to get on his knees before reading him his rights in the dramatic footage.

Ricotta was waiting for his wife when she returned from visiting one of her daughters on the evening she was killed, the court heard.

He entered the kitchen and told his frightened wife “I want to talk to you” – jurors were told – before going into the living room.

A youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said he heard Mrs Ricotta screaming for help 10 seconds later.

The prosecution said that a 999 call was being made as Mr Ricotta attacked his wife in the lounge with a kitchen knife, stabbing her multiple times.

Giuseppe, also known as Joe, had run into the room to try and defend his mother, but was fatally stabbed in the process, the court heard.

The brave son tried to stop the attack, but was stabbed in the stomach, receiving four knife wounds in total.

A pathologist’s report revealed Mrs Nugara – known as Maria Ricotta in the court proceedings – suffered 14 stab wounds and 44 further cuts, including to her neck.

The judge, Mrs Justice Dame Mary Stacey, said Ricotta “used controlling and coercive behaviour” against his spouse and “tried to intimidate Maria into staying in a loveless marriage” before he “slaughtered” her and her son.

Judge Mrs Justice Dame Mary Stacey told Ricotta in court yesterday: “Your vanity, pride and ego meant you would not agree to a divorce.

“Instead you tried to intimidate Maria into staying in a loveless marriage.

“By murdering your wife, you have effectively orphaned your children.”

She added: “Mr Morreale gave his life trying to protect Maria and his siblings. His bravery that day stands in contrast to the cowardly way that you killed both of them.

“You planned to lure her into the living room by pretending to be nice.

“You manipulated her, knowing she would be tired after a stressful evening.”

Det Insp Lydia George said: “[Ricotta] was calculating, controlling and violent and said to Maria ‘dead or alive, you will never leave this marriage’.

“Joe intervened to try and protect his mother to the end, however, received horrific injuries that ultimately took his life.

“Ricotta then refused to admit to his crimes, subjecting all their loved ones to months of stress and turmoil.”

Maria – also known as Maria Nugara – “had been to see the solicitor about being divorced”, Ricotta’s trial at Chelmsford Crown Court heard.

“Increasing tension and unhappiness between the defendant and his wife are what led to the horrific events of 28 May,” prosecutor Simon Spence KC said.

The family of the two victims said in an earlier tribute that Ms Nugara was “loving and dedicated to her four children and grandson”.

A family statement released through police described the deceased as “kind and pure-hearted people”.

They said that Maria Nugara was the “most beautiful person inside and out”, adding: “She was kind, caring and clever with a cracking sense of humour.”

And they said of Mr Morreale: “The last thing he did was try and save his mum; he is the bravest person we have ever known.

“He was our hero.”

Ricotta claimed he had been trying to hide behind his wife as his stepson lunged at him with a knife, accidentally stabbing his mother in the process.

However, the jury of seven women and five men returned their guilty verdicts after three hours of deliberations.

He was also found guilty of causing actual bodily harm in relation to a third victim.

Ricotta shrugged his shoulders as the verdict was read out.

The words “yes” were uttered in the public gallery.
