Spanish airport operator Aena confirmed that 70 flights have been cancelled to and from Barcelona‘s airport.

Another 18 have been diverted.

A statement on social media from the airport operator warned travellers to check with their airline for a flight update.

The following flights from the UK to Barcelona have also been cancelled:

• 3:50pm British Airways from Manchester

The following UK to Barcelona flights have been delayed:

• 3:55pm British Airways from London Gatwick
• 4:15pm easyJet from Liverpool
• 5:25pm easyJet from London Gatwick
• 5:35pm British Airways from London Gatwick

These delays and cancellations will also cause a knock on effect to the Barcelona flights returning to the UK with the following delayed:

• 3:35pm British Airways to London Heathrow
• 3:40pm British Airways to London CityFlyer
• 4:50pm easyJet to Liverpool
• 5:10pm British Airways to London Heathrow

An easyJet spokesperson told Sun Travel that passengers are being advised to allow plenty of time to get to the airport.

This is because a number of motorways have been flooded across Barcelona, with train serviced cancelled.

They said: “While our flying programme at Barcelona is currently operating, due to adverse weather conditions in the area we are advising customers to check local travel advice, leave plenty of time to get to the airport and check our flight tracker for the most up to date information on their flights.

“The safety and wellbeing of customers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority and while this is outside of our control, we are sorry for any inconvenience caused by the weather.”

A Ryanair spokesperson also said: “Affected passengers will be notified and any passengers travelling to/from Spain on Mon 04 Nov should check their Ryanair app for the latest updates on their flight.

“We regret any inconvenience caused to passengers by these weather conditions, which are outside of Ryanair’s control and affect all airlines operating to/from Spain Mon 04 Nov.”

The Sun has also contacted BA for comment.

The delays and cancellations are until the end of the day at least[/caption]

A red alert “extreme danger” warning is in place across Barcelona with people warned not to travel “unless strictly necessary.”

It comes after more than 200 people were killed after flooding in Valencia last week.

The UK Foreign Office has since updated their travel advice for Spain.

The website reads: “Severe weather and flooding is affecting many areas of Southern and Eastern Spain, particularly the Valencia region and Castilla La Mancha. Journeys may be affected.

“Check the latest weather warnings from Spain’s meteorological office before you travel and follow instructions from local authorities.

Royal expert Phil Dampier told The Sun it would be ‘enormous’ if His Majesty visited the US[/caption]

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Mr Dampier outlined how successful His Majesty’s Australia tour was last month.

He continued: “I would have thought a trip to the States would be a great thing as well.

“Whoever gets in… Trump seems to be very fond of the King. Obviously he’d like to have him.

“That would be enormous, if the King and Queen went to America.

“They’ve got to pace themselves, it depends on how well he is. I imagine the next place will be Canada.

“I’m sure that will be next, he loves Canada.”

It comes as the US Elections draw to a close in less than 24 hours, as opposing candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump battle it out in their swing-states.

Over 78 million people in the US have cast their ballots already in an incredible show of early voting.

Trump and Harris are currently making a last-ditch attempt to tour “Ground Zero” Pennsylvania – before voters head to the polls tomorrow.

Meanwhile Trump’s wife Melania and son Barron have been snapped making their way to the family’s Florida resort Mar-a-Lago.

Across the pond, King Charles and Queen Camilla have been on their Australia and Samoa visits across the past weeks.

A FEMALE basketball fan went viral after performing an enthusiastic X-rated gesture on the fan cam.

The overexcited supporter was picked up by the camera crew during the Denver Nuggets’ win over the Utah Jazz for her energetic dancing in the stands.

But the dance took a somewhat more NSFW turn just moments later[/caption]

However, after realising she was on the jumbotron in front of 20,000 fans at the Ball Arena, things took a somewhat NSFW turn.

Moving on from her bouncy moves, the female fan decided to up the ante by simulating a sex act.

Incredibly, the arena’s camera crew decided to continue focusing on her for an excruciating five seconds before finally moving on.

The next few groups of supporters featured on the fan cam were seen covering their mouths or laughing out of shock.

The video quickly went viral on social media, with viewers commenting in their thousands on X.

One wrote: “LMFAO why they keep the cam on her for that long?”

Clearly referencing ‘Hawk Tuah‘ – another X-rated viral moment in recent US history – another joked: “If the internet has taught me anything this lady is going to have her own top 3 podcast in about a month.”

A third said: “She’s def single… but not for long.”

Another called the ending to the dance routine an “M. Night Shyamalan twist”.

One joked: “Denver prob has the best fans in the league.”

The viral supporter had all the more reason to celebrate later in the evening, too, as the hometown Nuggets won 129-103.

The Nikola Jokic-inspired victory moved the 2022-23 NBA champions to 3-3 on the year, with the Jazz still the only winless team in either conference – now 0-6 for 2024-25.

JAKE PAUL’S own boxing coach told him that he had no chance of beating Mike Tyson.

The fight has garnered plenty of attention, not least because of the shock of a 58-year-old Tyson is coming out of retirement.

But one person who isn’t shocked is Jake Paul, who seemingly manifested this fight back in 2021 – albeit without the support of one of his coaches.

In a video posted on Paul’s social media, the 27-year-old internet personality seemingly came up with the “crazy idea” to take on Mike Tyson over three years ago.

Ahead of his third ever pro fight, a win over Ben Askren, Paul said to his coaches: “I just came up with a crazy idea. Do you think I can beat Mike Tyson?”

But it was clear that back then his team had little confidence that he could get the better of the former undisputed world heavyweight champion.

Paul was greeted with a blunt response from one coach, who simply laughed and said: “F*** no!”

But Paul even showed ambition for the fight all those years ago, asking: “Not even in a year from now?”

His team were firm that they didn’t fancy his chances, explaining: “Mike Tyson just got s*** he knows how to do bro that’s just… he’s just a dog.”

Paul’s team certainly seem to have faith in him now with the mega-money fight now just a matter of days away.

Since that day, Paul has won a further eight fights – losing just once at the hands of Tommy Fury.

While Tyson hasn’t stepped into the pro ring since 2005, and hasn’t won since 2003.

Paul certainly appears confident ahead of the Texas dance, posting the clip alongside a caption that read: “The Gods always knew, 12 days to destiny.

“Three and a half years ago my team laughed at my idea to fight Mike Tyson.

“My own coach told me I had no chance to beat the man. They say impossible, I say let’s find out.”

LISANDRO MARTINEZ avoiding a red card for his shocking challenge on Cole Palmer signals something could be wrong with refereeing, according to Mark Halsey.

The former Premier League referee believes the Manchester United defender was “very lucky” to escape a red card.

Mark Halsey questioned why VAR did not intervene to send off Martinez[/caption]

Martinez caught Palmer high on his knee with a reckless lunge that could have led to a serious injury.

Ref Rob Jones booked Martinez for the tackle but VAR did not recommend a review, so there was no opportunity to increase the Argentine’s punishment.

Halsey cannot understand why VAR did not intervene and he believes Martinez would have walked if the ref took a second look at the incident.

Halsey told SunSport’s Whistleblower: “I was surprised that VAR didn’t recommend a review because I don’t think Martinez could have any complaints had he seen red card for that offence.

“Because it was for me, it was serious foul play. It was a challenge that endangered the player’s safety because he was so high. Okay, the force wasn’t there.

“But it’s a career threatening challenge when you’re going that high on someone’s knee.

“If officials do not think that’s a red card. Then there’s something seriously wrong. It’s not about knowing the laws of the game.

“I think Martinez was very, very lucky that he didn’t see red.”

Fans were also shocked Martinez did not walk, as was Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.

He said after the match: “I think there is not intention to take the ball and the foul is quite dangerous.”

“It is quite clear it is a red.”

While Gary Neville said in commentary: “When you go that high I think you’re asking for a red card. I think he’s lucky.

“When you go knee-high and the ball’s gone, I think it’s a red.”

The Rap Game will be making it’s return next month[/caption]

The music star described his forthcoming album as a “mature” progression from Young Kingz, his and Konan’s 2013 breakout mixtape.

Reflecting on how he and Konan have evolved over the years, speaking exclusively to The Sun he explained: “We’ve grown up a lot since Young Kingz and there’s a lot more to talk about.

“I’ve got records on there where I’m pouring my heart out to my daughter, there’s records on there that still represent how we’re feeling today, like what’s happening, updates on life, still incorporating the Krept and Konan that our fans love in terms of making vibes like the record with Popcaan and making those kind of vibes and having fun and also serious topics and things that we feel need to be spoken about.

“So yeah, it just feels like a more mature version of Young Kingz and just growing up and yeah, just life being life and us kind of documenting things that we’re just going through, you know, ups, downs,happy moments, fun moments, serious moments.”

Krept, whose real name is Casyo Johnson first broke onto the music scene as one half of rap duo Krept and Konan.

Over the years, they’ve built a strong reputation for mixing gritty lyricism with mainstream appeal, especially with songs like Freak of the Week and G Love.

With their music charting high and collaborations with notable artists like Wiz Khalifa, Jeremih and Stormzy they have elevated UK hip-hop to new heights.

Outside of music the rap duo host BBC’s hit show The Rap Game which see’s new rap artist compete for a cash prize and the help to launch their music careers.

Alongside BBC’s 1Xtra DJ Target, the trio serve as mentors to emerging talent across the UK and with Season 6 dropping November 5^th.

Krept gave a sneak peek into what fans can expect from this year’s line up.

“Rap Game, we always get a variety of contestants from all around the country. I think that’s what makes the show so sick, people coming from different walks of life, different accents,” he explained.

“We always film in a different place, last time it was Manchester, then Birmingham, Liverpool. The experience of filming that with so many different talented individuals and being able to mentor them throughout the competition because we speak to them a lot about things that we feel like they can really benefit from or learn from.

“I think mentorship is just something that we’ve always done throughout our careers even artists that are in the game now, so many artists that we’ve mentored, sat down, given our time to, given advice to.

“Filming Rap Game, it’s so entertaining, it’s so fun. Everybody just has fun and seeing an artist go in there one way and then leave with so much confidence, learnt new stuff, taking away what they’re learning and going on to just have the opportunity to win cash, to be able to help develop their music careers and spend the money on things that they might not have been able to do prior.”

“It’s just a great process and a great thing to do,” he added

The Mercedes man gave a brutally honest message to his team after the race[/caption]

He struggled with car issues throughout the weekend – which were not helped by a series of heavy rain showers.

And by the time he reached the chequered flag, the Mercedes man was left completely deflated.

With his blockbuster move to Ferrari on the horizon, Hamilton gave a brutally honest message to his team in the garage.

He even suggested it could be the “last time” he drives for the Silver Arrows.

He said: “That was a disaster of a weekend guys. That is the worst the car has ever been.

“But thank you for continuing to try. Great job from the guys at the pitstop.

“If this is the last time that I get to perform, its a shame it wasn’t great, but grateful for you.”

Speaking after the race, Hamilton even suggested that he would “happily” take the rest of the year off despite three races remaining.

He told Sky Sports: “We were just slow. The car was really, really tough.

“The team could have won also today, so at least one car was behaving a lot better.

“It’s like a plank of wood. It’s like, no suspension.

“It’s bouncing on the tyres everywhere and you can’t get on the power anywhere.

“It’s just the worst ride, I think the worst ride that we’ve definitely ever had, particularly through corners. It’s just so stiff.

“But hopefully we won’t have any more bumpy tracks. I think the last three aren’t so bumpy. But yeah, I could happily go and take a holiday.”

Hamilton has just three races remaining with Mercedes before joining Ferrari – in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

Kimi Antonelli will replace Hamilton at Mercedes next year.

The 18-year-old will drive alongside George Russell next season having impressed in F2 having come through Mercedes’ junior programme..
