Check out Irina Shayk’s latest Instagram photo below:

Shayk wore a black one-piece swimsuit that featured a deep neckline and multiple cutout details attached with hardware rings at the center. The swimsuit had a simple but stylish design that suited the beach setting well. Her pose was relaxed as she sat on a rock ledge inside a cave area, facing slightly upward. It gave the photo a calm and confident vacation feel.

Shayk’s figure was highlighted by the fitted swimsuit and seated pose, while the overall styling stayed minimal and natural. Her hair appeared pulled back or tied neatly, which kept the focus on the swimsuit and face.  The background was one of the main highlights of the photo. She was surrounded by rocky cave walls with an open view of the bright blue sky above.

The singer D4vd is accused ofkilling a teenage girl whose dismembered body was found in the trunk of his Teslaafter she threatened to reveal information that could “end his career and destroy his life,” according to court documents filed Wednesday.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez, 14, was murdered about a year and a half after D4vd, 21, the “Romantic Homicide” singer whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was accused of starting a sexual relationship with her and shortly after an argument that prompted her to threaten to disclose information about their relationship, according to a filing from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Authorities believeCeleste was killedon April 23, 2025, one day after they had an argument about his relationships with other women, according to the document, which was filed ahead of a preliminary hearing next month.

Burkewas arrested and chargedthis month with first-degree murder, continuous sexual abuse and mutilation of human remains in Celeste’s disappearance and death.

He has pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys have said they will “vigorously defend his innocence.” They did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Celeste'sfamily has described heras a “beautiful, strong girl” who loved to sing, dance and spend Fridays watching movies with her family.

According to the filing, the two met in January 2022, when Celeste was 11, and began a sexual relationship in November 2023, when she was 13 and he was 18.

Text messages cited in the filing showed they discussed sex, pregnancy, abortion and the use of the Plan B emergency contraceptive. The messages also include explicit photos that document their sexual relationship, the filing says.

In February 2024, over a year before her death, Celeste's family reported her missing from her home in Lake Elsinore, the filing says.

Authorities in Riverside County spoke with Burke, who said he was unaware she was a minor and had been reported missing, it alleges. When deputies were sent to his Los Angeles home, Burke said he’d met her only once, in November 2023, the filing says.

“Although he claimed to be unaware of where the victim was at the time, she returned home two days later,” the filing says.

The filing alleges that Burke continued to pursue Celeste and that he drove to Lake Elsinore, where he paid a high school student $1,000 to get Celeste a new cellphone after her parents confiscated hers.

Throughout 2024, Celeste spent summer weekends at Burke’s home in the Hollywood Hills, and she traveled with him to Las Vegas, London and Texas, where she met his family, the filing says.

Celeste's family reported her missing again in April 2024, it says. They broke up in November 2024, though they continued to talk. Text messages suggest their sexual relationship continued afterward, the filing says.

The following April, Celeste became upset about Burke’s relationships with other women after he “led her to believe they had a future together,” the filing says, noting that at the time, he had an emerging multimillion-dollar career and multiple product endorsements.

On April 23, 2025, Burke sent an Uber to pick her up, according to the filing, which says they talked before and during the ride. She arrived at his home at 10:10 p.m., it says.

Soon after she arrived, the filing alleges, Burke stabbed her multiple times. Twenty minutes later, the filing says, he texted her, asking where she was.

“The People contend this was part of the defendant’s premeditated plan to cover up the murder, as she was already dead by this time," the filing says.

That night, the filing alleges, Burke drove to Santa Barbara to destroy evidence — and arrived home the next morning for a radio interview about the release of a new album. A transportation worker found Celeste's passport card in Santa Barbara in January, the filing says.

Burke used a fake name — Victoria Mendez — on Amazon to buy chain saws that he used to dismember her, a “burn cage” to incinerate evidence and other items, the filing alleges.

Prosecutors said in the filing that he took “horrifying measures” to destroy Celeste’s body.

Celeste’s remains werefound in the trunkof Burke’s abandoned Tesla at a Hollywood tow lot on Sept. 8, one day after she would have turned 15.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Years after a lead acid battery recycling plant shut down in Kenya’s coastal city of Mombasa, residents of Owino Uhuru say they are still suffering from lead poisoning, a growing public health risk as Africa’s clean energy boom drives a surge in battery use.

Africa Lead Poisoning

Faith Muthama, 40, a mother of four, says her health has never recovered.

“Life has never been the same,” she said, wiping away sweat. “I still struggle to do heavy chores as I suffer from breathing difficulties. When I was tested in 2012, I was found with high lead levels in my blood.”

Experts warn that similar risks have emerged across Africa as the continent adopts more renewable energy. A February report by the Centre for Global Development, an independent think tank based in Washington and London, warned that the rapid expansion of off-grid solar systems and battery storage, seen as critical to closing Africa’s energy access gap, is driving a sharp increase in demand for battery recycling.

Much of that recycling is done in informal or poorly regulated settings.

The contamination in Owino Uhuru dates back to 2007, when Kenya Metal Refineries EPZ, a local subsidiary of a company based in Mumbai, India, operated a lead-acid battery recycling plant within the settlement.

Residents say toxic waste from the plant, which exported processed lead to India, seeped into the soil and water, causing widespread illness. More than 20 deaths have been linked to the pollution. Although the factory was shut down in 2014, the damage lingers.

Lead exposure is linked to neurological damage, reduced cognitive development and long-term health impacts, particularly in children whose brains are still developing.

In 2025, Kenya’s Supreme Court awarded about $12 million in damages to about 3,000 residents after they won a class-action lawsuit against the smelting company, a rare legal victory for victims of industrial pollution. But activists say the state has failed to follow through on timely compensation.

“I am just waiting for help as I have exhausted all my resources treating myself,” said Alfred Ogulo, 70, a village elder, his speech slightly slurred.

At one point, Ogulo said tests showed extremely high lead levels in his blood, leaving him with nerve damage and limited mobility.

“I cannot walk without a stick,” he said. “I also suffer from serious chest pain and coughs from the toxic fumes that we breathed in here when the factory was still in operation.”

Lead-acid batteries are widely used in many low-income markets because they are cheaper than alternatives like lithium-ion batteries. But safely recycling them requires costly infrastructure that is often lacking. So, informal recyclers often use rudimentary methods that can release lead particles into the air, soil and water.

“Off-grid solar could account for a substantial share of batteries entering the recycling stream in Africa,” said Lee Crawford, a senior research fellow at the Centre for Global Development, who reviewed the report. “That’s on top of existing demand from vehicles like cars and motorbikes.”

“Safe recycling is expensive and that creates a strong incentive to do it unsafely,” Crawford said, adding that since banning lead-acid batteries is unfeasible, the solution is to make recycling safer.

Across Africa and South Asia, studies estimate that between one-third and half of children have elevated blood lead levels, making it one of the most widespread environmental global health risks. In many countries, weak enforcement of environmental regulations compounds the problem. While rules often exist, experts say implementation remains inconsistent.

“This is a silent threat,” Crawford said. “It’s often invisible, but it affects health, cognitive development and economic productivity.”

The issue extends beyond small informal workshops. Even larger facilities may lack proper controls, while global supply chains for recycled lead can obscure accountability.

“There needs to be accountability across the entire supply chain,” Crawford said.

Some countries are making progress. South Africa, for example, has introduced producer responsibility systems requiring manufacturers to manage battery recycling, creating a more structured approach. But in many parts of the continent, particularly where batteries are imported rather than produced locally, assigning responsibility remains difficult.

International donors are increasingly supporting lithium-ion technologies, which do not carry the same lead-related risks. But lead-acid batteries are expected to remain widely used for years, particularly in off-grid solar systems.

It's a lived reality for residents of Owino Uhuru.

“It is sad that the state has ignored prioritizing the compensation payment as ordered by the court,” said Phyllis Omido, who leads the Centre for Justice Governance and Environmental Action (CJGEA) based in Mombasa and helped residents take their case to court. “These monies would have alleviated the current suffering these vulnerable residents are going through.”

“Is it fair that we are the ones still chasing justice while the company walks away?” said Mejumaa Hassan Nyanje, 60, as she fought back tears. “Will we all die before justice is served? It feels like we’ve been abandoned, like our lives and our health don’t matter.”

Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed criticized the biopic Michael for depicting Michael Jackson as a "asexual plastic action doll."

Key Points

• The filmmaker said that he "could kind of buy" the film's early scenes that showed Jackson's childhood.

• The documentarian added that framing Jackson as an "eccentric, overgrown child" is "not the full story."

Leaving Neverlanddirector Dan Reed has watchedMichael— and he doesn't like what he saw.

The documentarian's 2019 film saw Wade Robson and James Safechuck accuseMichael Jacksonof grooming and sexually abusing them as children. Now, Reed has viewed Antoine Fuqua's hit biopic about the "Smooth Criminal" musician, and offered his two cents about the film — which does not address the allegations against the singer — in aninterviewwithVariety.

"The first part of Michael as a child, I could kind of buy that," he said. "But as soon as we go to the adult Jackson, played by his nephew Jaafar, that burst my bubble. I thought, he's a great dancer, but his performance is very wooden, and one of the reasons for that is he didn't have much of a script to work with."

Reed opined thatMichaelfails to accurately depict the late "Thriller" singer or meaningfully explore his psychology. "He becomes this waxwork who performs these jukebox songs, but there's zero insight into what makes Jackson tick," the documentarian said. "He's this asexual plastic action doll of a figure in the film. And of course, the issue of his relationship with children is completely distorted by the fact that they portray him as an eccentric, overgrown child, which we know is not the full story."

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to representatives for Jackson's estate and Lionsgate, the studio behindMichael, for comment.

The filmmaker explained why he believes the biopic sought to depict Jackson in this manner.

"To the culture, Jackson is like a religion. So, what I've done [withLeaving Neverland] is essentially blaspheme, and this biopic reinstates the myth," he hypothesized. "As absurd as any religion, people have to believe in the miracle of Jackson being this asexual, pure being who only wished good for little children and helped them. They've given him the attributes of a deity."

Reed also argued thatMichaelfails to contend with the allegations from his documentary, even though he thinks the film was intended to offer a convincing opposing viewpoint.

"The film just flips the truth on its head — black is white, white is black, and two and two make five — and none of the people who go and see the movie will ever question that, but it's a movie that's impossible to take seriously as a counter-narrative toLeaving Neverland," he said. "It was supposed to be the retort toLeaving Neverland, and they tried that in an early script and it fell apart, so they created this jukebox movie but haven't managed to create a plausible narrative that would explain Jackson's fondness for children."

Michaelhas received fairly negative reviews from critics, currently holding a 37% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 39/100 score on the aggregator Metacritic. However, the film was embraced by audiences in its opening weekend,scoring $217.3 millionat the global box office — a record-setting opening weekend for a musical biopic.
