Jane Seymour shared her secrets to staying fit and healthy as she celebrated turning 75.
During a recent interview with the Daily Mail, the actress, who marked her milestone birthday on Sunday, revealed how she has stayed a size 4 since she was a teenager and detailed her approach to dieting.
“I love the Mediterranean way of eating, it works so well, and it tastes good, it includes a lot of delicious food like tomatoes, olives and fish,” the “Somewhere in Time” star said.

Seymour explained that she enjoys light breakfasts and only eats one main meal a day around 1:30pm.
“I start the day with coffee and hard-boiled eggs for protein, and it isn’t till later, around lunchtime, that I have a full meal because then I can really enjoy it,” she said.
“I love fish and vegetables, and grow many greens in my backyard, which I love to use.”
The U.K. native said her afternoon snacks include vegetables with hummus, pistachios and other nuts, noting that she prefers savory foods to sweets.

Seymour emphasized that she doesn’t believe in dieting, only in eating healthy foods that she enjoys rather than restricting herself.
“People ask me if I have a cheat day with my diet and I respond that I am never on a diet, I just make good choices and stick with them,” she said.
“If you think you are on a diet, you will lose track, you will cheat,” Seymour continued. “But if you find healthy foods you really love that make you feel good, you never feel shorted.”
“Being healthy just feels good, it keeps me going, it gives me energy,” she added.
Seymour noted that her exercise routine includes lifting light weights and Pilates.

“For the actual day of my birthday, I have no idea,” she said. “It usually rains a lot, and it’s right next to Valentine’s Day, so I might do what the Queen of England used to do and just have my official birthday on another day, when the sun is shining and we can all be outside.”
Seymour also reflected on aging, telling Fox News Digital that she feels like she is “in my prime right now.”

“I’m grateful to have amazing work, work with great people who I love,” the “Harry Wilde” star said.
“Oh gosh, I don’t even have time for everything I’m doing right now, it’s insane,” she added. “Mercifully, I have the energy for it. But I’m just so grateful, I really am.”
“I never ever imagined I’d be doing what I’m doing right now at this age, ever.”
Hours after Barack Obama caused a frenzy by saying aliens were real on a podcast, the former US president has posted a statement clarifying that he has not seen any evidence of them and that he was merely trying “to stick with the spirit” of an interviewer’s rapid round of questioning.
In a conversation with the American podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen over the weekend, Obama appeared to confirm the apparent existence of aliens during a segment in which the host asks guests quick questions and the guests respond with quick answers.
After he was asked “Are aliens real?”, Obama said: “They’re real but I haven’t seen them.”
He went on: “They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.”
The response plunged the former president into a contentious subject that is fed by prevalent public distrust of the federal government and has ensnared several other US leaders. In 2016, Hillary Clinton vowed during her presidential campaign that she would “get to the bottom” of the alien conspiracies if elected. Donald Trump said on a podcast two years ago he had pondered alien life.
“Am I a believer? No, I probably, I can’t say I am,” Trump said. “But I have met with people that are serious people that say there’s some really strange things that they see flying around out there.”
The issue has also been given a degree of credibility by lawmakers holding congressional hearings into unidentified flying objects since the 1960s.
In 2022, during the Biden administration, the Pentagon said it wanted to remove any shame in reporting “unidentified aerial phenomena” because they could represent national security threats.
“Our goal is to eliminate this stigma by fully incorporating our operators and mission personnel into a standardized data-gathering process,” said Ronald Moultrie, then-under secretary of defense for intelligence and security.
Scott Bray, the deputy director of naval intelligence, told the hearings, “The message is now clear: if you see something, you need to report it.”
A recent government report showed that more than 750 new UAP sightings had been reported between May 2023 and June 2024. They included video of a Hellfire missile from a US reaper drone appearing to bounce off a glowing orb off the coast of Yemen.
“We’ve never seen a Hellfire missile hit a target and bounce off,” said Lue Elizondo, a former senior intelligence official with the Pentagon.
Obama’s podcast comment was picked up by media outlets around the world, with headlines such as “Former US president Barack Obama says aliens are real” and “‘They’re real’: Obama’s shock alien claims”. Time Magazine covered the drama, reporting: “Obama says aliens are real, but they aren’t at Area 51”.
However, following the media frenzy, Obama released a statement on Instagram on Sunday evening.
“I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since it’s gotten attention let me clarify. Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there,” he said. “But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!”
Nevertheless, his original comments inflamed long-running conspiracy theories that Area 51, a highly classified air force site in Nevada, holds evidence of government contact with extraterrestrials.
Declassified documents released in 2013 revealed that the secret airstrip was actually used for aerial testing of US government projects including the U-2 and Oxcart aerial surveillance programs.
“High-altitude testing of the U-2 soon led to an unexpected side-effect – a tremendous increase in reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs),” the documents said.

“Not somebody just tried to snatch my shopping bag in Milan, force of habit,” he wrote on X. “I had it tied around my hand so he couldn’t get it and took off running immediately….but still crazy.”
It’s unclear what Owens had in his bag. Biles posted a photo of the two posing in a luxury store.

Owens and Biles had been spotted at the Winter Olympics, watching the men’s free skate figure skating competition. Both athletes were pulling for Ilia Malinin as the “Quad God” was going for a gold medal to add to his collection.
Unfortunately, Malinin suffered two falls and finished in eighth place in the event.
“Totally devastated for Ilia,” she wrote on Threads.
Malinin had been open about the intense pressure he felt during the competition – something that Biles could relate to as she suffered her own battle during the Tokyo Olympics.

The head of the interim government of Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus, has stepped down before the new government takes power in Bangladesh. With his resignation, Yunus has officially handed over power to Tariq after congratulating the BNP on its landslide victory in last week’s elections.
Mohammad Yunus took command as the chief advisor of the interim government formed after the removal of former Bangladesh Chief Minister and Awami League Chief Sheikh Hasina from power. He made this announcement in his farewell ceremony to the nation before handing over power to the elected government after the 13th parliamentary elections in Bangladesh.
According to HT report, Mohammad Yunus said in his address, today the interim government is leaving the post, but the process of fundamental rights, freedom of speech and democracy that has started in Bangladesh should not be stopped. Yunus returned to Bangladesh in August 2024, when Sheikh Hasina’s government fell. Yunus said, “It was the day of great liberation. What a joyous day it was! Bangladeshis all over the world shed tears of joy. The youth of our country freed it from the clutches of a demon.”
Tariq Rehman’s swearing in ceremony will be held on 17th February
The swearing-in ceremony of the new government in Bangladesh will take place on 17 February 2026. Bangladesh Nationalist Party chief tariq rehman Will take oath as the new Prime Minister of Bangladesh. India has also received an invitation to the swearing-in ceremony of the new government of Bangladesh. Although the Prime Minister Narendra Modi Will not go to Bangladesh, will attend the swearing-in ceremony of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla Tariq Rahman.
Huge victory in 13th parliamentary elections
BNP got a bumper victory in the 13th parliamentary elections in Bangladesh. In the 300-seat Parliament, 151 seats are required to form a government and BNP won much more seats than this. After this it became clear that Tariq Rahman would be the next Prime Minister of Bangladesh. In this election, the Islamic Jamaat-e-Islami alliance emerged as the main opposition. There was about 59 percent voting in the elections. Besides, a constitutional referendum related to governance reform was also passed.
AIpocolypse A partner at accounting and consultancy giant KPMG in Australia was forced to cough up a AU$10k ($7,084/ £5,195) fine after he used AI to ace an internal training course on… AI.
Faced with questions on the use of AI, the unnamed partner uploaded training materials to an AI platform to help generate his response, according to a report in the FT.
The partner was just one of more than two dozen staff who have been rumbled for using AI tooling while taking internal exams, the consulting giant confirmed.
The unnamed KPMG partner’s attempted use of AI on an internal test was first reported by the Australian Financial Review, and was flagged up in an Australian senate inquiry into governance.
Barbara Pocock, a senator with Australia’s Greens party, referred to a “misdemeanor” at the firm, and said she was disappointed with the fine. “We’ve got a toothless system where con artists… get away with so much,” she told a parliamentary committee last week.
KPMG Australia chief exec Andrew Yates was quoted as saying it was “grappling” with the impact of AI when it comes to internal training and testing.
“It’s a very hard thing to get on top of given how quickly society has embraced it,” he said.
A KPMG spokesperson confirmed the FT story and told The Register the “two dozen” figure was confined to Australia. No similar reports have emerged outside the antipodes, apparently.
The accounting and consulting biz is not alone in its struggle. Rival Deloitte Australia had to refund a large chunk of the fee for a report it produced for the Australian government last year.
The report was littered with AI hallucinations, including imagined quotes from a court ruling and non-existent academic research.
In the UK, West Midlands’ chief constable Craig Guildford was prompted into retirement earlier this year after it emerged his force relied on Copilot when considering whether to block Israeli football fans from an Aston Villa – Maccabi Tel Aviv match.
The research threw up concerns about disruption at a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and West Ham. The only problem being no such match occurred.
Guildford’s acting successor, Scott Green, said the matter is being investigated by IPSO and the force’s own professional standards department. In the meantime, he said, Copilot had been switched off across the force. For now, at least. ®
The TV news anchor Savannah Guthrie issued a fresh appeal to anyone who knows the whereabouts of her missing mother, saying that “you’re not lost or alone” and “it is never too late to do the right thing”.
The Today anchor, who is stepping away from NBC’s morning broadcast, urged “whoever has her or knows where she is” to come forward, but did not make reference to any ransom demands or communication with any abductor.
“It’s been two weeks since our mom was taken. And I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope. And we still believe,” Savannah, 54, said in a post to Instagram.
She appeared in the video alone, unlike in previous ones in which her siblings joined her.
The search for Nancy Guthrie, now in its 15th day, is following avenues of investigation related to the discovery of a glove found two miles from the missing 84-year-old’s home.
The FBI said on Sunday that the glove resembled those worn by Guthrie’s presumed abductor in surveillance video recorded by a camera on the night of her disappearance.
The federal crime agency said the glove carried an unknown man’s DNA. The genetic code will now be placed in a crime database, but if no match is made it will probably be entered into commercial genealogy databases.
The Pima county sheriff’s department, which is leading the investigation, has not given an official update since Friday when it announced law enforcement activity in the area. There have been no arrests and the department earlier said it was operating under the belief that Guthrie is alive.
Early on Monday, Donald Trump posted to social media about an interview that a former FBI agent, Nicole Parker, had given to Fox News, saying Parker “is doing a great job of explaining” the investigation. Parker was early in casting doubt on whether Guthrie’s disappearance was indeed an abduction.
But the Pima county sheriff, Chris Nanos, has reportedly also ruled out a circulating theory that Guthrie’s disappearance was a burglary gone wrong. Nanos told the Daily Mail that although he understood why there was public speculation around Guthrie’s son-in-law Tommaso Cioni, he didn’t want to put “a mark on somebody who could be completely innocent”.
“I understand the pundits are out there. They’re gonna say, well, he’s the last one to see her alive. We understand that stuff. But, my goodness, you’re putting a mark on somebody who could be completely innocent. And more important than that, he’s family,” he said.
“People out there can get pretty ugly and mean and nasty and not have the facts.”

The Trump administration unveiled a sweeping maritime action plan Friday, aimed at reclaiming U.S. maritime dominance and reducing America’s reliance on foreign-built and foreign-flagged ships that carry the vast majority of its international trade.
Senior administration officials warned in a call with reporters that nearly 99% of U.S. international maritime trade moves on foreign-built, foreign-owned and foreign-flagged vessels, a dependence they described as a national and economic security vulnerability as global competition intensifies.
“Roughly 50% of our trade moves through the maritime domain, and 99% of that moves on foreign-built, foreign-owned and foreign-flagged ships,” one senior administration official said during a call with reporters. “That’s the market we’re trying to tap.”
The initiative, ordered by President Donald Trump in an April executive order, lays out what officials describe as the first comprehensive federal effort in decades to rebuild the nation’s commercial shipbuilding industry, expand the U.S.-flagged fleet and strengthen maritime supply chains.
TRUMP’S $12B RARE EARTH PLAN TARGETS CHINA AS EXPERTS WARN US IS ‘ONE CRISIS AWAY’
The push comes as China now produces more than half of the world’s commercial ship tonnage, while U.S. shipyards account for only a sliver of global output — a disparity that has widened over decades as American commercial shipbuilding declined.
Administration officials also linked that erosion to rising Navy shipbuilding costs.

“The cost of building U.S. Navy warships has gone up far outpacing inflation,” one senior administration official said, arguing that rebuilding commercial shipyards, suppliers and skilled labor pools could help stabilize long-term defense procurement costs.
Officials argued that rebuilding commercial shipbuilding capacity would have ripple effects beyond global trade, strengthening the broader industrial base that underpins U.S. naval power.
Throughout the past several decades, as American commercial shipyards shuttered or downsized, the domestic supplier network, skilled workforce and naval design expertise that support both commercial and military vessels also contracted, officials said. That contraction, they argued, has left Navy shipbuilders more dependent on smaller supplier pools and single-source components, contributing to rising costs and production delays.
“The cost of building U.S. Navy warships has gone up far outpacing inflation,” one senior administration official said, attributing part of the increase to the loss of adjacent commercial shipbuilding activity. By expanding commercial orders and modernizing shipyard infrastructure, officials said, the government hopes to create economies of scale that would benefit both commercial operators and the Navy.

Historically, some U.S. shipyards operated as dual-use facilities, building commercial vessels alongside Navy ships — a model that officials said helped sustain a larger workforce and more resilient supply chain. While the maritime action plan focuses primarily on commercial shipping, administration officials said they expect downstream benefits for military shipbuilding as the industrial base expands.
The decline in U.S. shipbuilding capacity has been decades in the making. Following World War II, the United States maintained dozens of major commercial shipyards. Today, only a small number remain capable of building large oceangoing vessels.
In the defense sector, production has consolidated into a handful of primary shipyards. Just two shipbuilders — Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia and General Dynamics’ Electric Boat in Connecticut and Rhode Island — construct the Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines. Surface combatants such as destroyers are built at only a few additional yards.
“The cost of building U.S. Navy warships has gone up far outpacing inflation,” one senior administration official said, attributing part of the increase to the loss of adjacent commercial shipbuilding activity.
The strain on U.S. shipbuilding has drawn increasingly blunt warnings from Navy leadership. Secretary of the Navy John Phelan has cautioned that American shipyards must “act like we’re at war” as China rapidly expands its fleet and modernizes its production lines.

According to the Office of Naval Intelligence, China’s shipbuilding capacity now exceeds that of the United States by more than 200 times — a gap analysts say reflects Beijing’s heavy state investment in automated, AI-enabled shipyards capable of producing vessels at a pace the U.S. industrial base has struggled to match.
Meanwhile, the Navy continues to face submarine production delays and supply-chain bottlenecks that have slowed delivery of key programs, underscoring the challenges officials say must be addressed if the United States is to regain maritime competitiveness.

Unknown Facts: There would hardly be any person in India who has never traveled by train. Even today, a large number of people consider train as the most reliable and convenient means of traveling long distances.
Whenever you have traveled by train, you must have felt one thing that the mobile network often becomes weak. It becomes difficult to make calls and sometimes the internet works and sometimes stops completely. This problem happens to almost every passenger, but very few people know the reason behind it.
Actually, when the train is standing at the station or moving slowly, then the mobile network remains normal. But as the train picks up speed, the phone keeps switching from one mobile tower to another. Due to this frequent change, the signal does not remain stable and the network becomes weak.
This is the reason why the problem of call drops and slow internet is more common while traveling in a high-speed train.
Train route is also a major reason for weak mobile network. The train often passes through villages, forests and hilly areas, where the number of mobile towers is less. In such areas the signal naturally becomes weak.
Apart from this, the design of the train also affects the network. Actually, the structure of the train is completely made of metal, which blocks radio signals to a great extent. This is the reason why signals keep dropping repeatedly during travel.
As far as slow internet speed is concerned, there is a practical reason behind it also. You must have seen many times that the network on the phone appears full, but the internet does not work properly. This happens because many passengers are using mobile data at the same time in the train. When more users suddenly connect to the same tower, the load on it increases and the internet speed decreases.
