Monster tempest Ian has recharged from a tropical storm back into a Category 1 hurricane as it angles northwards towards South Carolina to pummel the state Friday morning, as well as neighboring North Carolina and Georgia. Landfall in Charleston is expected around 8am on Friday, with the surrounding states also being issued with several extreme weather warnings. A state of emergency has since been declared in Charleston County, which has a population of about 413,000, with officials changing operations to react to a disaster or emergency - which they warn is 'imminent'. Ian blasted Florida's southwest coast with catastrophic force Wednesday as a major Category 4 storm, before being downgraded to a tropical storm by the National Hurricane Center in an update early Thursday. It has since intensified off the Atlantic after battering coastal cities such as Florida and Naples with winds of 150 mph and life-threatening storm surge Wednesday, before moving north toward the state's center to cities such as Jacksonville and Orlando. At least seventeen have been confirmed dead from the various counties caught in the storm's devastating path.

The heroic act, captured by the journalist's camera crew, came during NBC affiliate WESH 2's live coverage of Hurricane Ian - and has since seen intrepid reporter Tony Atkins hailed as a hero. Posted to social media just hours after the heart-pounding rescue, the footage shows Atkins carrying the woman, who was reportedly a nurse on her way to work, out of the window of her almost fully submerged vehicle. Braving floodwaters that reached up to his waist, the selfless journalist carries the stranded citizen on his back in the heartwarming clip, wading through the raging current to bring her to safety. If that was not enough, Atkins accomplished the commendable feat all while dutifully clutching the woman's purse, keeping it dry above the floodwater. Photos show the extent of such flooding in Orlando, where first responders braved overflowed streets in seven feet of water to rescue residents left stranded in Ian's wake.

Taking advantages of the floodwater, the large, dark colored fish with sharp dorsal fins was spotted thrashing around an inundated backyard near Hendry Creek, Fort Myers in Florida. The sensational footage - which has racked up more than 12 million views on Twitter within a day - showed the horrific extent that Hurricane Ian's storm has caused on the landscape in Florida. Dominic Cameratta, a local real estate developer, confirmed he filmed the clip from his back patio Wednesday morning when he saw something 'flopping around' in his neighbor's flooded yard. He guessed the fish - believed to be a shark - was about four feet in length. However experts were puzzled as to what the animal truly was - with some believing it was indeed a shark, and others thinking it may have been another large fish.

The Biden administration has quietly announced a change in their student debt forgiveness program that could exclude four million borrowers who have loans owned or backed by private companies The u-turn by the federal government comes after the first legal challenges were filed and following criticism of the huge costs to taxpayers and claims the plan is an illegal use of his executive power. The Education Department announced Thursday that privately-held federal loans won't qualify for the relief plan, which the Congressional Budget Office said earlier this week could cost $400billion over a decade. The new rules refer to Perkins and Federal Family Education Loans, which are bank loans backed by federal guarantees. They used to be major component of federal student loans, but were stopped in 2010 after a major Obama administration overhaul shifted to direct government loans. Nevertheless, about four million people still have FFEL loans, according to government data identified by Politico. Forty-five million Americans owe student loans. The administration had initially allowed hose with FFEL loans could reorganize so they were eligible to receive the $10,000 to $20,000 of relief per borrower.

Was this the staggering act of self-sabotage by Vladimir Putin (bottom right) that the world assumes it to have been? After all, the president who threatened to 'end' Nord Stream earlier this year resides not in the Kremlin but the White House. US President Joe Biden (middle right) could not have been clearer when, in early February, he promised to bring Nord Stream 'to an end' should Russian troops and tanks enter Ukraine. The invasion happened. So did Mr Biden take revenge as he promised to? At the time he dismissed suggestions such an operation would be too complicated to carry out or too damaging diplomatically given Nord Stream 2 was controlled by Germany. To the doubters, he added: 'We will, I promise you. We will be able to do it.'

JAN MOIR: You are either in or you are out, the Queen once said.

There, they would escape stuffy protocol and be able to monetise their royal connections - free at last to make all the empowering podcasts they wanted. So why, almost three years later, is everything so very much worse instead of being so much better?

It was previously expected that the production would be aired in December, following the fifth season of The Crown on November 9, according to the publication . However, sources claimed the couple now want to make edits to the series, which would possibly delay its release until later in 2023, as they look to 'downplay much of what they have said about King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales'.
