As King Charles and Queen Camilla undertake a State Visit to the U.S., it is a relatively quiet week for Prince William and Kate. This past weekend,Kate represented King Charles during Anzac Day services, while yesterday, William visited the RAF (Royal Air Force) Valley airbase as part of its 85th anniversary celebrations.

During CNN’s live coverage of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s State Visit to the U.S. yesterday morning, one of the commentators noted that Prince William and Kate Middleton are set to visit the U.S. this summer. It was previously thought that William would travel to the U.S. during the World Cup, though whether or not Kate will join him is as yet unclear. As of this writing, there is no official confirmation, or comment from Kensington Palace, on the potential U.S. trip.

Reform UK bus and taxi the only vehicles at Jenrick’s ‘national fuel protest’ as march called off

Reform UK’s“fairfuel” protest failed to draw support on Monday, with the planned march down Whitehall called off amid a small turnout.

Billed as “national fuel protest”, the protest was shared on seniorReform UKmembers’ social media, including the party’s treasury spokesperson,Robert Jenrick.

The AI-generated poster advertising the event on social media featured an array of tractors, lorries and vans positioned in front of parliament.

But asReform UK’s double-decker bus and taxi turned on to Whitehall – 40 minutes after the advertised start time of 9am – no other vehicles had materialised.

Only dozens of spectators gathered on the street by the bus, the majority from the media, with just a small handful of Reform UK supporters attending.

The event was also supposed to include a march down Whitehall, but the moving demonstration was called off.

Mr Jenrick, who was leading the protest alongside Reform’s deputy leader Richard Tice, MP Sarah Pochin and London mayoral candidate Laila Cunningham, said the group had been “driving around central London ... talking to punters”

“People have been hooting their horns in support of us,” he said. “We’re here to send a very strong message toRachel Reeves, the chancellor: do something now to help our hard-pressed motorists.

“Chancellors and finance ministers all over the world, from Australia to Germany to Sweden to Spain to Ireland, are acting to lighten the load.”

Reform UK is calling on Ms Reeves to not go ahead with the increase in fuel duty planned for September and to implement an “emergency cut now”.

Labour have been under pressure to lay out measures to protect Britons amid the rising prices and uncertainty amid the ongoing blockade on the Strait of Hormuz as a result of the war in Iran.

“If you’re listening, Rachel Reeves – and I did invite her here today last week, she didn’t say that – but if she’s cowering at one of the windows of the Treasury behind us, listen,” Mr Jenrick added.

“Listen to the millions of Brits who are finding life hard at the moment. Take action. Lighten the load. Cut fuel duty now.”

Oil prices hit a near three-week high on Monday, as the key oil route remains closed while peace talks between the US and Iran stall.

Negotiations between Iran and the US have broken down once more, with Donald Trump declaring over the weekend that envoys would no longer be travelling to Pakistan for talks due to a lack of progress.

Mr Trump told Fox News on Sunday: “If they want, we can talk, but we’re not sending people.”

Speaking on Monday, Sir Keir Starmer reiterated that the government had capped household energy costs until July, regardless of what happens in Iran, while fuel duty is scheduled to remain frozen until September.

Indonesia train crash toll rises to 14 as rescuers complete evacuation

Aftermath of a deadly collision between a commuter line train and a long-distance train, in Bekasi

JAKARTA, April 28 (Reuters) - The death toll from a train collision near the Indonesian capital Jakarta has risen to 14 with another 84 injured, the train operator said on Tuesday, as ‌rescuers completed work to extract survivors still trapped in the wreckage.

The collision between a commuter train and a ‌long-distance train happened late on Monday in Bekasi, just outside Jakarta.

Bobby Rasyidin, chief executive of Indonesia's state railway firm PT KAI, said the death ​toll had risen to 14.

Mohammad Syafii, the head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, said on Tuesday that the evacuation had been completed, adding that it had been a delicate process to rescue trapped passengers from the mangled carriages.

"We needed to involve personnel with certain skills to perform a measured extrication," he said, adding there were no more passengers to find, although rescuers ‌will take action if they find body ⁠parts as they continue to comb through the wreckage.

A women-only carriage bore the brunt of the crash. Syafii said all of the victims were women and most of them had been ⁠pinned by crushed metal.

Before disengaging the trains, rescuers were seen using angle grinders to cut through the metal of the compartments and reach the survivors.

Bobby told an earlier press conference that the commuter train first collided with a taxi on the tracks and ​was ​then hit by the long-distance train.

Taxi operator Green SM Indonesia said ​on Instagram that the taxi involved in the ‌accident was part of its fleet. It said it had sent information to authorities to assist in the investigation.

Green SM Indonesia is the Indonesian branch of Vietnamese electric-vehicle taxi operator Green and Smart Mobility JSC, an affiliate of Vingroup.

PRESIDENT PRABOWO ORDERS INVESTIGATION

After visiting a hospital in Bekasi, President Prabowo Subianto said he had agreed to build a flyover near the train tracks to help resolve heavy traffic congestion, adding that authorities would investigate the collision. He said large parts of ‌the train network are not well-maintained.

Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) is ​investigating the crash.

On Tuesday, rescuers and people descended upon the train station, ​some looking for their relatives.

Heriyati, a passenger, said ​she initially intended to use the women's only carriage but opted for the one behind it. ‌She had been on a call with her ​husband asking him to pick ​her up from the station when the collision occurred.

"I haven't even finished with the call and the trains collided," she said.

Commuter line trains are some of the busiest in Jakarta, the world's most populous city. On Tuesday, ​PT KAI said several commuter train ‌trips were cut short due to the crash.

Land transport accidents are common in Indonesia. A train collision ​in West Java province in 2024 killed four people and injured dozens.

Jimmy Jam Says There Was Some 'Competitiveness’ Between Michael and Janet Jackson While Making 'Scream’ (Exclusive)

Jimmy Jam recalls Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson having friendly competition when recording "Scream"

NEED TO KNOW

• Michael and Janet recorded vocals separately but inspired each other, with Michael traveling to Minneapolis after hearing Janet's take, Jimmy Jam tells PEOPLE

• 1995 song marked the siblings' first major collaboration

Jimmy Jam remembers some friendly competition betweenMichael JacksonandJanet Jackson.

When talking to PEOPLE at the Hollywood premiere ofMichaelon April 20, the songwriter and producer, 66, admits that making "Scream" with the siblings was “interesting” because of the family dynamic.

“When we did ‘Scream,' it was really interesting because Janet always felt like she was just guesting on Michael's song," he says. "She didn't ever think of it as a duo. And she kind of treated it like that. She just kind of said, 'Whatever my brother wants to do... this is the key he wants to do it in, these are the words he wants to say.' "

"She was very much deferring to what he wanted to do,” he adds.

In fact, Jimmy Jam says the siblings recorded their vocals in different places, with Michael recording in New York while his younger sister recorded in Minneapolis.

“When Michael heard Janet's vocal, he said, ‘Where'd you do that vocal?'" he recalls. "We said, ‘Minneapolis.' He said, ‘I'm going to come to Minneapolis.' "

"So I felt a little bit of the competitiveness, which was cool,” Jimmy Jam shares.

Ultimately, he says, Michael was “really happy" to work with Janet, 59.

“He wanted to see her do well. She wanted to see him do well, and that happened and it was captured beautifully on video," he adds. "Somebody just asked me my favorite Michael Jackson video and I said, 'Scream.' "

The song, which was released in 1995, peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 17 total weeks on the chart. The single and video also went on to earn several major accolades, including a 1996 Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form, and a record 11 nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Jimmy Jam tells PEOPLE he still looks back and thinks the music video is “beautifully done.”

In 2024, Janet told theBBCthat making that song with Michael helped her better understand what her brother was going through at the time.

"Mike and I wrote that song in New York, in his apartment," she recalled. "So [I relive] that whole journey, listening to him sing it [and remembering] what he was going through at that time. And just me being his little sister, always by his side, and being that support system. That's always been my role."

Janet and Michael released “Scream” and the famous black-and-white music video in 1995, soon after Michael settled a 1994 lawsuit that charged him with abusing a child, according toThe New York Times. The song references what Michael was dealing with: struggles with fame, public harassment and tabloids digging into his life.
