After Vanesa decided to sacrifice her relationship outside to follow the feelings she had developed for Indri, the situation between them seems to have taken an unexpected and difficult turn.
At first, when Indri asked that they remain just friends, it seemed like a painful compromise, but still a way to preserve some form of closeness between them. However, recent developments show that even this “friendship” has not managed to survive.
In a recently published video, the two appear in a tense, cold, and very direct conversation, where emotions are evident, but the communication remains harsh.
Indri, without trying to soften the situation, addresses Vanesa with a strong statement, telling her that the only feeling he has for her is regret.
He emphasizes: “I have nothing for you, only regret for the situation I’m causing you. I don’t blame you, but I can’t blame myself either.”
These words seem to hit Vanesa hard, as she is seen emotionally affected and somewhat lost, clearly reflecting the disappointment and pain she is experiencing at that moment.
Selin Bollati, 23 years old, is the winner of the fifth season of Big Brother VIP Albania. She was announced the winner, taking home the grand prize of €100,000. Armir Shahini ranked second after Selin.
A marathon night
It was a long and intense night, also filled with frequent commercial breaks. In the early hours of Sunday, the elimination of the final contestants began.
Before the winner of the fifth edition of Big Brother VIP Albania was announced, Rogert Sterkaj was eliminated from the competition.
As the announcement of the winner approached, Selin, Mateo, and Miri remained in the race, which monitored the marathon TV program.
Shortly after, Mateo Borri was also eliminated. In the end, the final showdown was between Selin Bollati and Armir Shahini, with Selin Bollati being declared the winner.
Among the 30 apartments that were destroyed by the massive fire that engulfed the “Arlis” complex two days ago is also the home of well-known Albanian model Gloria Meshi. The news was confirmed by the model herself, who reacted on her Instagram page, stating that the fire that swept through the complex also burned down her home.
She added that fortunately she and her family are in good health.
“Hello, thank you for every message you have sent me regarding the fire. My family and I are well, thank God. Due to the fire in my building and my home, it will be impossible for me to post in the coming days about my active collaborations, except for what I had already prepared two days ago,” the model wrote in her statement.
Further on, Gloria shared details from the terrifying moment that residents experienced as their homes burned before their eyes.
She added that firefighters did everything possible to rescue people who were trapped inside their apartments, emphasizing that they were working in very poor conditions.
“I have seen news and comments about firefighters and police officers, but no one knows how much they risked their lives and in what difficult working conditions they were. They were all extremely kind and compassionate to everyone in that situation. A huge thank you to all of them. Seven of them were suffocated and taken to the emergency room, at least those I saw. Many of their helmets, which can withstand up to 1200 degrees, were melted. The fire was very strong and there was extremely heavy smoke. Before you comment, say thank you to those who risk their lives for such a low salary,” the model added in her second reaction.
This morning, new details emerged regarding the massive fire that destroyed part of the “Arlis” complex. According to footage secured from surveillance cameras in the area, the incident is suspected to have been caused by several minors.
Mateo Borri and Brikena Selmani crowned their love with a wedding inside Big Brother. Of course, it was within the context of the game, but it remains a very beautiful memory for both contestants. On Big Brother Radio, Mateo Borri revealed that he will have a bigger wedding outside this format.
During the interview, he also shared details about his life outside, what he plans to do, and his future goals.
The second finalist emphasized that he is looking forward to going on vacation and meeting the model from Kosovo, away from the cameras.
The two rekindled their relationship in this reality show, as they had known each other before entering the house.
It remains to be seen how this relationship will continue in the future.
Korçë has been filled this weekend with hundreds of tourists and visitors who have chosen the city to celebrate Orthodox Easter as well as to relax and enjoy their time off. Easter is the holiday that symbolizes the resurrection of Christ, and in Korça it is celebrated on a large scale. Local families have preserved and respected their long-standing traditions and customs.
A well-known tradition is the purchase of souvenirs made of ceramics and clay, as well as the preparation of lamb meat, since the lamb is considered a symbol of goodness, purity, and peace.
The Easter lunch represents togetherness, bringing everyone around the same table to be close to their loved ones.
KF Skënderbeu Korçë is considered one of the most successful teams in the history of Albanian football, especially in terms of its performances in European competitions. The club has reached the group stage of the UEFA Europa League twice and has progressed through four qualifying rounds—an achievement unmatched by any other Albanian team.
Another historic milestone was securing 47th place in the global ranking published by International Federation of Football History & Statistics.
Moreover, Skënderbeu was ranked ahead of several well-known European clubs such as Lazio, Borussia Dortmund, Ludogorets Razgrad, Corinthians, Ajax, Schalke 04, Villarreal CF, FC Porto, and Atalanta BC, among others.
FC Barcelona have been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League this season after losing on aggregate to Spanish rivals Atlético Madrid. Atlético won the first leg at Camp Nou 2–0, a result that proved crucial for the second leg.
The team managed by Diego Simeone found themselves 2–0 down by the 24th minute in Madrid, following goals from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres.
However, Barcelona’s lead was reduced by Ademola Lookman, who scored in the 31st minute.
That’s how the first half ended.
In the second half, Barcelona found the net again, but the goal was disallowed. Ferran Torres scored in the 55th minute, but it was ruled out for offside.
As the match approached the 80th minute, Barcelona were reduced to 10 men after defender Eric García received a red card for a last-man challenge on Alexander Sørloth.
In the end, the match finished 2–1 in favor of Barcelona, but the aggregate score of 3–2 sent Atlético Madrid through.
In the semifinals, Atlético will face the winner of the match between Arsenal FC and Sporting CP, which will be played at Emirates Stadium at 21:00. The first leg ended 1–0 in favor of Arsenal.
Toni Bollati, the father of Selin Bollati, has given an exclusive interview to Shqipëria Live, where he shared his emotions after his daughter won the grand prize. He also spoke about the long period during Selin’s stay inside the Big Brother VIP Albania house, describing it as exhausting and stressful, especially due to being away from the family.
He revealed that he spoke briefly with Selin last night and said she seemed very tired.
In the final, alongside Selin were Miri, who finished in second place, Mateo in third place, and Rogerti, who was the first to be eliminated.
“February 18th was one of the most difficult nights, full of emotions. I waited for the start of the show with great anxiety. I was emotional the entire time and wanted to watch every detail on my own. It was a huge emotional experience. The period while Selin was in BBV was exhausting and very stressful, and the distance made me feel even more guilty for not being close to the family.
However, everything passed, and Selin reached the final successfully, with triumph.
I also felt sorry for the other contestants. It’s like a championship—someone wins the cup, and the cup went to my queen. I communicated very little with Selin, just last night. She is happy and grateful. She seemed quite tired, but that’s normal—she needs time to recover, meet her family, supporters, and everyone who supported her,” he said.
The nephew of Rexhep Qosja, Valjet Qosja, has published a testament written by the distinguished academic 10 years ago, in which he requests that his funeral be held without ceremony. “Since I have lived and thought, for most of my life, expressing critical views toward rulers and their powers, I wish to be buried without any official presence,” the testament states.
The academic asks to be laid to rest without religious rituals and without any official attendance. “I want my funeral to be conducted only by my family,” it says, adding, “no speeches, no media, no flowers, near the grave of my wife, Shpresa.”
Full testament:
TO MY NEPHEW VALJET
WHO TOOK CARE OF MY LIFE AND FROM WHOM I ASK TO TAKE CARE OF MY BURIAL AS WELL
Since I have lived believing in scientific thought, in spiritual elevation, and in the social progress it makes possible, I wish to be buried without religious ritual.
Since I have lived and thought, for most of my life, expressing critical views toward rulers and their powers, I wish to be buried without any official presence.
I want my funeral to be carried out only by my family.
Since I have tried to live simply, I also wish to be buried simply: no speeches, no media, no flowers, near the grave of my wife Shpresa.
I die in peace. As I have dedicated my life, intellectual work, and political activity to the freedom, unity, and democratic well-being of the Albanian people, I can say that I owe nothing to Albania as a state, nor to Kosovo—neither to its present nor its future. If Kosovo owes something to me, that will be for future historians of Albanian literature, culture, and political thought to decide.
I do not think I die without any sins.
Since I grew up, lived, and worked in political and social conditions that, even after the liberation of Kosovo and the creation of its state, remained very harsh, I cannot say that my expressed disagreements were always free from judgments and evaluations harsher than they should have been. Nevertheless, I face my burial convinced that I have lived, created, and acted by doing good, by preaching goodness, and by spreading humanity.
I wrote these thoughts while conscious and of clear mind.
A significant increase in traffic has been recorded at the Kapshtica Border Crossing, as many migrants are returning to Greece following the end of the holidays. According to official data, the Albanian side is operating with five exit counters, using maximum capacity, while the Greek side has put six entry lanes into operation.
The surge in traffic has mainly occurred in the last minutes, as earlier in the day the situation at this border point appeared calm, with no long queues reported.
Border authorities state that all necessary measures have been taken to handle the situation and avoid delays, aiming to facilitate the movement of citizens on both sides of the border.
A new immigration circular in Greece has raised serious concerns among the Albanian community, as it is expected to directly affect the renewal of residence permits for thousands of migrants. According to expert Edmond Guri, until 2025 Greek legislation followed a more humane approach toward migrants, allowing even those who had lived in the country for many years to apply for residence permits.
However, after that period, there has been a noticeable tightening of policies, especially regarding irregular migration.
In July and August 2025, Greece approved two new laws aimed at curbing illegal immigration. Under these measures, any person without proper documentation who is detained by authorities is initially sent to detention centers and may then face penalties ranging from fines to 1–2 years of imprisonment. Deportation is accompanied by a ban on re-entry to Greece and other EU countries for a period of 5 to 10 years.
Another controversial element, experts say, is that even if a deportation decision is appealed, it can still be executed immediately, while the appeal is reviewed afterward.
The new circular particularly affects migrants who lost their residence permits over the past year. It does not introduce new opportunities to regain legal status for other vulnerable categories, such as individuals with health problems or those who have lacked documentation for long periods.
Reactions from the Albanian diaspora have been strong. Various organizations and individuals have raised concerns about the high legal costs and the growing legal uncertainty faced by migrants.
Currently, around 500,000 legal migrants live in Greece, of whom approximately 140,000 are Albanians with residence permits. Meanwhile, it is estimated that 70,000–80,000 Albanians have lost this status—a figure that remains concerning, even though it is declining. Experts note that difficulties in obtaining documentation, along with more favorable opportunities in other European Union countries, are contributing to the gradual departure of Albanians from Greece.
Guri emphasized that the new circular mainly introduces faster processing for those who already have valid documentation, while offering no new solutions for undocumented migrants. He added that the broader shift in policy reflects a stricter approach by the current government toward immigration.
Victoria Beckham planted a kiss on husband David’s cheek as he kicked off his 51st birthday celebrations with a lavish meal at The Dorchester in London on Friday. The former footballer enjoyed an evening out complete with a cake and candles on the night before his big day.
He was joined by his mother Sandra, father Ted and his partner Hilary, as well as sisters Lynne and Jojo for the pre-birthday dinner. Victoria’s parents Jackie and Anthony Adams also attended.
Sharing a series of photos to Instagram, Victoria wrote: ‘The first of many celebrations. Happy birthday eve!’
While none of the Beckham children appeared to be present for this occasion, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz will no doubt fail to celebrate with David at all this weekend.
David and Victoria haven’t spoken to Brooklyn since last May, when he and his wife snubbed the former footballer’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Victoria addressed her ‘challenging’ past year amid her feud with son Brooklyn in a rare TV interview last week.
When asked on the Today show by hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones about the tumultuous recent time for the family Victoria didn’t specifically reference her son, 27, but said she will ‘always protect’ her kids.
Jenna directly asked her in the interview: ‘You have had a pretty public challenging year – we have talked about it on this show. How do you get through the tough times?’
She replied: ‘You know, myself and David, we’re so close and we have incredible people around us.
‘We’re close to my parents and David’s parents. We support each other through everything that we do.
‘We love our children so much and have always really focused on protecting our children. But we laugh a lot. David is really, super funny.’
Brooklyn cut ties with his family in a scathing social media statement in January, declaring he has no plans to reconcile with his famous parents and accusing them of ‘controlling him for most of his life’.
David and Victoria have not been seen with their son since.
Victoria also said in the new interview that her and her husband rely on each other to navigate tough times.
She said: ‘We support each other through everything that we do. We’ve grown together. And that’s where I feel so blessed.
‘We really have grown together. We support each other. We’ve both got big dreams. We’re both very, very ambitious and we support each other. I want him to be the best version of himself and that’s what he wants for me.’

A tired mom was rushed into emergency surgery after doctors discovered a potentially dangerous infection in her kidney that she says stemmed from her weekly energy drink habit. Alison Dunn, 25, had been drinking one 12oz can of an energy drink four times a week for just seven months when she began feeling an excruciating pain in her right side.
She said she had started buying energy drinks to combat her early morning starts after getting a new job in a warehouse, as well as tackle the ‘exhaustion’ of being a busy mom-of-two.
But in March 2025, Dunn showed up for her shift and began feeling a dull ache in her lower right side.
Eventually, the pain became excruciating, describing it as ‘worse than childbirth,’ and she began vomiting.
As Dunn’s symptoms worsened, she was rushed to the hospital where tests revealed she had a 6.5mm kidney stone – which is considered large – blocking her ureter, the tube through which urine passes.
She also had an enlarged, infected kidney, which can be serious if not treated. It can lead to kidney disease, irreversible kidney damage, kidney failure requiring transplant, and sepsis – a deadly reaction to an infection.
Dunn said that doctors suggested her sudden kidney issues may have been due to her regular consumption of energy drinks and advised her to stop drinking the beverages immediately.
The Florida native said: ‘I work in the warehouse industry and I work really early hours. I was waking up at 5am, so on the way to work I would stop at the gas station and get [an energy drink].
‘This was four days a week. I’d only drink it those days. It was only for the job. I’m also a mom so I’m always tired. Even on my days off I was exhausted most of the time. It became a habit.
I wouldn’t say I was addicted – I didn’t crave it on my days off, but I was definitely reliant on it when I knew I had a long day.’
The day she went to the hospital, Dunn said it was ‘a regular day for me.’
‘I had my [drink] that morning, got to work and I started to have a dull ache in my lower right side,’ she added.
‘Then it continued to get worse and I started to feel really nauseous. I left work and then threw up all over my car and all over myself. After I took a shower, the pain became excruciating.’
Dunn’s partner drove her to the hospital where a CT scan revealed the kidney stone, enlarged kidney and infection.
Kidney stones affect approximately 600,000 Americans a year. The stones are pebble-like clumps of minerals that form in the urinary system.
Kidneys filter waste from the blood, producing urine to carry it out, but when certain minerals from food and drink – most commonly calcium and oxalate – become too concentrated in the urine, they can begin to crystallize.
Normally, these tiny crystals are flushed out without notice. But when urine is concentrated – often due to dehydration – they can stick together and grow. Over time, they form hard, jagged stones.
Trouble begins when a stone moves into the ureter. The tube is narrow, and as the stone scrapes along its lining or blocks it entirely, pressure builds behind it in the kidney.
That is what triggers the hallmark symptom: intense, wave-like pain that radiates from the lower back to the groin, often leaving sufferers pacing, sweating and unable to find relief.
Some notice blood in their urine or feel a constant urge to urinate despite passing very little. Others experience nausea so severe that they begin vomiting.
There is a possible connection between energy drinks and kidney stones, Dr Veeraish Chauhan, a kidney specialist, wrote for Very Well Health. The main concern with these types of drinks is that they can be high in sugar and high-sugar intake is linked to kidney stones.
A 12-ounce can, which is considered one serving, of a popular brand contains about 39 grams of sugar. The daily recommendation for sugar intake is about 30 grams.
He also said the caffeine and sodium content of the drinks can contribute to kidney stones as well.
Additionally, if people are drinking energy drinks, they may be less likely to drink water and dehydration is also linked to an increased risk in kidney stones.
Dunn was rushed into surgery where a laser broke down her kidney stone into smaller pieces. This allows the body to naturally pass the stone in urine. She was discharged from the hospital four days later.
Now, she is urging others to be ‘mindful’ of their own energy drink consumption and has vowed never to touch energy drinks again.
Dunn said: ‘I was super shocked. I drink water on a regular basis. I’d never had any kidney issues prior to this.
‘The first thing my urologist asked me was “Do [you] drink energy drinks?” They were confident that was the cause. He said I definitely need to stop. I’m very lucky the infection in my kidney didn’t spread to my blood.
‘Once you get kidney stones, it’s very easy for you to get them again so if I were to begin drinking energy drinks again, I would definitely encounter the same issues.
‘I’ll never drink energy drinks again. It was the worst pain of my life; it was worse than childbirth. I don’t think a few hours of energy is worth the toll it takes on your body.’
A woman has launched a scathing rant after she took a closer look at her McDonald’s burger and discovered it was raw. Carla Dolby demanded an explanation from the fast food giant after she was reduced to a diet of plain toast and Hydralyte following the ordeal.
‘Maccas, please explain, what is this?’ she asked in a TikTok video, while holding the remainders of the undercooked burger.
‘I know it’s my fault for not looking when I was eating it, but I was so hungry.
‘I was eating away, looked down and noticed it wasn’t cooked. I think you should just trust that your food is cooked if you’re purchasing from a fast food restaurant.
‘My insides are literally still ruined, I’ve had to call in sick, I’ve had to cancel my plans on the weekend. I’m feeling so lethargic, but lesson learned.’
Ms Dolby lodged a complaint with McDonald’s and was told the fast food giant would launch an investigation, which could take up to 10 business days.
‘We will engage the restaurant management team to commence an investigation,’ the fast food giant said in the response.
‘Our restaurant teams will complete an in-depth review, which may include reviewing CCTV, as well as records from other customers during the time of this visit.
‘Please know that this may take up to 10 working days, and you will be contacted by the store upon completion of this process.’
Aussies were quick to share their own fast food horror stories.
‘I got a sundae from Maccas last year, got about halfway and realised my spoon was tapping something metal. Turns out it was the top of the handle for the sundae sauces,’ one person wrote.
‘I had a milk carton lid in my Maccas coffee,’ another said.
But others stuck up for employees at the chain, suggesting they were new.
Respect the workers, their jobs are stressful enough with training and learning new stuff is hard,’ they said.
One person who claimed to be a McDonald’s manager also chimed in.
‘We take food safety complaints very seriously. More than likely someone will be fired. I hope it gets resolved,’ they said.
‘Genuinely, as a manager at Macca’s, this makes me so annoyed. It’s not hard to check if the grills are working and it’s also not hard to check if the meat isn’t cooked.
I’m assuming it might’ve been a newly trained employee or someone who wasn’t paying attention.’
Daily Mail contacted McDonald’s for comment and a spokesperson said: ‘We contacted the customer to apologise and processed a full refund and store credit.’
‘Restaurant management have retrained the employees involved on the correct procedures to ensure we’re serving food to the highest standards of taste and quality,’ the spokesperson said.
An influencer has revealed that she was on the borderline for mercury poisoning after eating a tin of tuna every day. British content creator Grace Beverley, 28, said she noticed she was gaining weight easily, experienced inflammation and felt as though her hormones were so “f–ed up.”
She then did hormone, gastrointestinal and blood tests in winter 2025 and was shocked when she received an unexpected call from her doctor.
“I thought, ‘Oh f—k, you never like that, I’m dying,’ ” Beverley, who is currently pregnant, said in a TikTok posted on Wednesday, April 29.
Beverley, who has over 1.2 million Instagram followers, said her doctor then proceeded to ask her how many tins of canned fish she eats.
“I said, ‘One, maybe two things of tuna a day,’ to which she said, ‘You do know you’re meant to have two servings a week?’ And I said, ‘No’, obviously I didn’t know that,” Beverley explained.
The founder of Tala gymwear said she usually eats tins of tuna when they’re in the cupboard and she’s in a rush or at work.
“[The doctor] said ‘Yeah, you’re borderline for mercury poisoning and you also have incredibly high arsenic levels and I would recommend you stop eating fish for a few months.’ So yeah… don’t do that,” Beverley added.
Mercury poisoning usually occurs when someone eats too much seafood, which contains the elemental metal, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
“Mercury is toxic and harmful to the human body,” it stated. “Mercury poisoning occurs when you expose yourself to too much mercury and your body reacts negatively to the compound.”
The World Health Organization (WHO) says mercury can impact the kidneys and cause nervous system damage and skin problems.
It states that the “inorganic salts of mercury are corrosive to the skin, eyes and gastrointestinal tract, and may induce kidney toxicity if ingested.”
Beverley’s 469,000 TikTok followers expressed their shock at the news, with many saying they eat tinned fish on a daily basis. One wrote: “watching this as a pescatarian who eats tuna everyday 😀.”
Another said: “TWO SERVINGS A WEEK PARDON!!! I eat it every single day wtffffff,” while a third added: “Wait I’ve been eating canned tuna nearly everyday since Jan😭 I need the protein.”
