title: Guy Self

text:
Guy Self is a fictional character from the BBC medical drama Holby City played by John Michie. He first appeared in the sixteenth series episode "Sink or Swim", broadcast on 26 November 2013. Guy is a consultant neurosurgeon and Holby City Hospital's chief executive officer (CEO) until he resigns from his CEO position. The character also appeared in Holby City sister show, Casualty. Guy departed in the nineteenth series episode "Song of Self – Part Two", but returned for a nine episode guest stint later in the series. Michie has since reprised the role on three occasions: for one episode in 2018, ten episodes in 2020, and one episode in 2022.

Creation and casting
On 12 July 2013, it was announced that actor John Michie had joined the cast of Holby City as new consultant neurosurgeon Guy Self. Of his casting, Michie said "I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining the cast of Holby City and I'm looking forward to taking on a new challenge. My mum was a nurse and always wanted me to be a doctor not an actor so finally half her wish has come true!" Executive producer Oliver Kent commented that Michie would be involved in some "explosive" storylines following his arrival. Michie was initially contracted for a year and he made his first screen appearance as Guy on 26 November 2013.

To help him prepare for the role, Michie met with a surgeon and watched him operate. The actor told a reporter for the BBC that he spent some time observing the consultant's demeanour, which was "friendly and chatty, but with an unspoken authority". Michie tried to bring those aspects of the consultant's personality to his portrayal of Guy. Michie called the medical terms "complex", but said that having medics in his family made learning the terms easier. He also admitted that he was not squeamish and enjoyed the realism achieved by the prosthetics department.

Development

In an interview published on BBC Online, Michie explained that Guy is committed to being a neurosurgeon, which makes him ruthless at times. His job gives him "incredible self-belief", although he does not always get things right. Michie thought Guy had a tendency to push himself and his colleagues too hard. He added that women are one of Guy's weaknesses.

In August 2016, Guy's mother Valerie Sturgeon (Brigit Forsyth) was introduced, leading to further exploration of the character's background. Michie was pleased to receive the storyline, as he believed it would finally show the audience why Guy is the way he is. The actor told Inside Soap's Laura-Jayne Tyler, "Hopefully people will have more sympathy for him, rather than see him as a total bastard!" When Guy's mother Valerie is admitted to Darwin, she meets her granddaughter Zosia March (Camilla Arfwedson) for the first time. Zosia always assumed Valerie was dead. Michie explained that Guy deliberately kept his mother away from Zosia, as she subjected him to physical and mental abuse when he was a child. Guy eventually breaks down and tells Zosia the truth about his childhood with Valerie. Michie said filming the scenes with Arfwedson was "a little bit disturbing", as he had to find something in his personal life that made him feel the same as his character.

Departure
The character departed the show on 15 November 2016. Guy's exit storyline saw him resign from the hospital. Shortly beforehand, he learnt board member Tristan (Jonathan McGuinness) had attacked his daughter Zosia. Guy had been working with and relying on Tristan to get his neuro centre built. Michie told Allison Jones of Inside Soap, "Guy is very vulnerable, like a cornered animal, and he isn't really thinking straight. The centre has been his dream – and for 20 years, he's compromised a lot of his personal life to get it built." Michie said Guy is tempted to let Tristan die when he ends up on his operating table, but his "medical ethics" kick in and he saves Tristan by stopping the bleeding in his brain.

Guy decides to report Tristan's attack on Zosia to the police, but Tristan blackmails Guy by threatening to reveal his suicide attempt. However, Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel) reports Tristan instead and he goes to the press about Zosia. Guy "cracks" and he trashes his office. He then realises that he needs to leave the hospital for the sake of his mental health. Michie enjoyed filming Guy's last episode and liked how his character made his exit. He thought Guy could make a return in the future, even though things are resolved with "a good ending" in the episode. He said, "I think it's the right time for him to go, but the door has been left open. So maybe he could come back one day and be even worse, or perhaps he'll come back and resolve stuff – who knows?" Michie found it sad saying goodbye to the show and his co-stars, but he added that it was also an exciting time, as he liked moving on to new roles.

Returns
In June 2017, Laura-Jayne Tyler of Inside Soap confirmed that Michie had returned to filming. Michie later confirmed that he is back for nine episodes. Guy's return aired on 1 August 2017. Guy uses a patient, who needs an expensive surgery, to facilitate his return to Holby. Both Henrik Hanssen (Guy Henry)and Ric Griffin (Hugh Quarshie) are sceptical about his return, as they do not trust Guy. He later blackmails medical director Nina Karnik (Ayesha Dharker) into supporting him, as he knows a big secret about her. Michie commented, "Guy is totally conniving in the way that he manages to wheedle his way back in. It's partly to do with his career, and also to do with his daughter, Zosia, so the kind of things you would expect."

In September 2018, it was revealed that Michie had returned to Holby City once again. Guy returns alongside Mo Effanga (Chizzy Akudolu) in the twentieth series episode "One of Us", broadcast on 20 November 2018. Guy and Mo are called back to Holby City Hospital to help save Jac's life.

In March 2020, it was announced that Michie had reprised his role and would return during the twenty-second series. Guy returns following the privatisation of Darwin ward by external company Kestrel, which Guy has shares in. Executive producer Simon Harper expressed his joy at the character's return, calling Guy "oily" and "Holby's very own neurological Lord of Misrule, who is always guaranteed to sow trouble and strife". Harper also revealed that Guy would clash with Ric, which would create friction on the Acute Assessment Unit (AAU).

Holby City was cancelled in June 2021 after 23 years on air with the final episode due to be broadcast in March 2022. Producers invited multiple former cast members to reprise their roles during the show's final series. Michie reprised his role as Guy in episode 1099, first broadcast on 8 March 2022. His appearance in the episode had been kept under embargo until transmission. Guy returns after being asked by Jac, who wants him to perform a risky life-saving operation on her. He explains that he has already spoken to Max McGerry (Jo Martin) and will not perform the operation.

Reception
Commenting on Michie's casting straight after his role in Coronation Street, a reporter for the Belfast Telegraph thought producers had made it difficult for them and some viewers to continue watching. They wrote, "In one soap the man is a killer and now he is in charge of Holby with the aim of saving lives. When I see him in future episodes – that is if I decide to keep watching – I'll think only of Karl's dirty deeds down in the pub cellar. Giving this role to Michie whom I've no doubt is a fine actor but who is typecast as murdering Karl, makes the task of settling into his new role difficult. I hope he manages it." Flynn Sarler from Radio Times was not impressed with the character's debut. He stated that it was during his second episode that viewers got a "first proper feel for him and it's not all that fuzzy". Sarler bemoaned the character's surgical scenes stating that "Guy doesn't look confident doing it and you don't feel confident watching."

When Guy brought Connie Beauchamp to the Darwin ward, resulting in her clashing with Jac, Jane Simon of the Daily Mirror observed "Was this what Guy secretly intended all along, to remind Jac of just how ambitious she really is? If so, he's even more cunning than we gave him credit for." Simon later noted that Guy had "turned into the worst kind of corporate lizard". A reporter for the Daily Record stated that Guy was "not the most compassionate man in the world".

title: Steven Bergwijn

text:
Steven Charles Bergwijn  (born 8 October 1997) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left winger or a forward for Eredivisie club Ajax, which he captains, and the Netherlands national team.

Club career

PSV

Bergwijn was born in Amsterdam to parents from Suriname. He started his career in the Ajax youth academy up to 2011, but due to a conflict with one of the trainers, chose to leave. He immediately signed to PSV, Bergwijn made his first-team debut for Jong PSV in the second division on 9 August 2014 against Achilles '29. He replaced Elvio van Overbeek after 77 minutes in a 2–0 home win.

Tottenham Hotspur
At the end of the January 2020 transfer window Bergwijn signed a five-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth a reported £26.7 million. He scored his first goal for the club in his Premier League debut, a 2–0 victory against Manchester City, and was also named Man of the Match by Sky Sports. On 6 March 2020, Bergwijn suffered a sprain to his left ankle in the match against Burnley which might have sidelined him for the rest of the season, but due to the Premier League break caused by COVID-19, Bergwijn had time to recover and was able to return to the starting eleven, scoring against Manchester United in Tottenham's first post-break match.

On 19 January 2022, Bergwijn scored a brace against Leicester City in dramatic fashion, scoring both goals in injury time to give Spurs a 3–2 victory.

Ajax
On 8 July 2022, Bergwijn returned to the Netherlands, signing a five-year contract with Ajax. The transfer fee paid to Tottenham Hotspur was of €31.25 million. This was the most expensive transfer in the history of the Eredivisie, breaking the record set when Ajax bought Sébastien Haller in 2021 (€22.5 million). On 14 August 2022, he scored a hat-trick in a 6–1 win over Groningen. On 8 August 2023 Bergwijn was announced by Ajax as their new captain replacing the recently departing Dušan Tadic.

International career
Bergwijn earned his first full international call up when Ronald Koeman named him in the Netherlands squad in October 2018. He made his debut as a starter on 13 October 2018 in a 3–0 2018–19 UEFA Nations League A victory over Germany.

title: Beacon Medical Group

text:
Beacon Medical Group (also known as BMG) is a private healthcare company based in Sandyford, Dublin, Ireland. BMG was founded in 2002 by cardiothoracic surgeon Professor Mark Redmond, Michael Cullen, and John Delaney.

Beacon Medical Campus
BMG developed the Beacon Medical Campus, which includes:
 Beacon CARE Facility
 Beacon Consultants Clinic
 Beacon Hospital
 Beacon Pain Clinic
 Beacon Pharmacy
 Beacon Renal (established in 2004, three renal dialysis clinics in Drogheda, Tallaght and Sandyford)
 Beacon Homecare
 Beacon Face and Dermatology
 Irish Maternal Fetal Foundation
 UCD Beacon Academy
 Weight Motivation Clinics
 Wellington Eye Clinic

History
BMG was formed 2002 as a co-location venture between public and private hospitals. The Group won public tenders to build co-located private hospitals on the grounds of Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, Cork University Hospital, and University Hospital Limerick. The Limerick facility was to be built by Sisk Group, while the Cork and Dublin hospitals were to be built by Ascon-Rohcon. BMG were to be owners and developers, while UPMC would manage and operate the hospitals. The co-location projects were expected to cost over €850m, providing approximately 1,000 new beds. The new hospitals would provide almost 6,000 full-time, permanent jobs and a further 4,600 construction jobs.

BMG and Landmark Developments announced in 2008 plans to develop a 127-160 bed private combined maternity and children's hospital beside Beacon Hospital at a cost of approximately €160 million. The hospital was planned to provide paediatric, obstetric, and gynaecology services, delivering 3,000-5,000 babies per year. The Group expected to agree a service-level agreement with the Health Service Executive to allow access to the hospital by public patients. Planning permission was granted in 2010.  BMG expected the hospital to employ 450 people directly, with a further 650 ancillary hospital jobs, and 550 construction jobs. Development of the hospital was halted by a blanket ban on development in the area, which was imposed by Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council.

Co-location projects were stalled by Vhi Healthcare's refusal to provide cover in the new hospitals. In April 2011, the contracts for the projects expired.

Beacon campus has more than 30 active research projects. From 2015 to 2022 more than 2'100 medical students have received training at the UCD Beacon Academy.

title: Agustín Fernández (composer)

text:
Agustín Fernández (born 1958) is a Bolivian composer.

Career
In Bolivia Fernández began musical life as a child, singing and playing the charango in folk clubs, including Peña Ollantay, Peña Naira and the country's then only television channel. Still a teenager he worked as a violinist and then principal viola with the National Symphony Orchestra and taught harmony at the National Conservatoire, while studying composition with Alberto Villalpando. He later studied in Japan with Takashi Iida and with Akira Ifukube, while working part-time at the Bolivian Embassy and as a language instructor at Nichisei Gakuin and later at Komagane Training Institute.

In the United Kingdom, after obtaining an MMus at Liverpool University and a PhD at City University Fernández was composer-in-residence at Queen's University Belfast since 1990 until 1994. Following a year's lectureship at Dartington College of Arts, he worked as a composition lecturer at Newcastle University from 1996 until 2007 and Professor of Composition there from 2007 until his resignation in 2019.

Fernández's work has been performed and acclaimed internationally, featuring at festivals such as Focus!, Summergarden (New York), ISEA (Montreal), International New Music Week (Bucharest), Latin American Music Festival (Caracas), Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, London International Opera Festival and many others. Some of his folk arrangements have been singled out for their wide appeal.

Misa de Corpus Christi, first premièred in La Paz under the twenty year-old composer's direction in 1978, was later destroyed and then  recomposed in 2009 for performances in 2010 and 2011.

While his first electroacoustic work, the opera Teoponte, had mixed reviews on its London première (1988), the also electroacoustic Wounded Angel (1989) was generally well received internationally and was released twice on commercial recordings. His second opera, The Wheel (1993), was generally considered a success on its London première by Royal Opera House's now extinct Garden Venture. Also well received were two subsequent works for baritone, choir and orchestra: Approaching Melmoth, premièred in 2000 with Thomas Allen as the soloist, and Notes from Underground (2016). Upon the New York première of his String Quartet No. 2 Sin tiempo (a Koussevitzky commission), one reviewer commented “…this city needs a Fernández festival”.

Fernández has been a regular visitor to Romania for speaking engagements and performances of his work, especially at the Sigismund Toduță International Festival in Cluj-Napoca and also at the SIMN Festival in Bucharest. In 2018 the Music Academy Gheorghe Dima of Cluj-Napoca awarded him an honorary doctorate.

In his native country he has been awarded prizes such as Golden Charango (1971), Honour to Merit (1975), National Composition Prize Sesquicentennial of the Republic (1975) and Meritorious Citizenship of Cochabamba (2016).

As was reported by the British tabloid press, in March 2020 Fernández was found guilty of sexual offences, for which Newcastle Crown Court gave him a lengthy custodial sentence. He was absent from the trial. Fernández has vehemently denied the accusations made against him and considers himself the target of a miscarriage of justice. He has also refuted tabloid reports of his having fled after being sentenced, stressing that he was absent from the country at the time of his trial. The issue remains unresolved.

title: Zoe Hanna

text:
Zoe Hanna  is a fictional character in BBC's medical drama Casualty, portrayed by Sunetra Sarker. She first appeared in the series twenty-two episode "Take a Cup of Kindness", broadcast on 29 December 2007. The character was a consultant in emergency medicine at Holby City Hospital's emergency department. Sarker chose to take a temporary break from the show in 2014 and Zoe departed from the show in the series 28 episode "A Life Less Lived", broadcast on 23 August 2014. She returned in the series 29 episode "Return to Sender", broadcast on 25 October 2014. Sarker later decided to leave the series indefinitely, but producers asked that she did not announce her departure in order to surprise viewers. After over 8 years on-screen, Zoe departed the series in the series 30 episode "Hello, I Must Be Going", broadcast on 7 May 2016. It was confirmed in September 2017 that Zoe would return for a single episode. She appeared in the nineteenth episode of series 32, broadcast on 13 January 2018. Sarker reprised the role again in 2023 for two episodes linked to Charlie Fairhead's (Derek Thompson) exit; they feature in series 38 and will air in 2024.

Zoe was described as a "maverick rebel-with-a-cause" and a "good doctor" who "knew what she was talking about" by Sarker. Sarker had portrayed nurses in previous roles who were billed as loveable, sweet girls and preferred playing a feisty character. Zoe enjoys being a doctor and prefers saving lives than working on paperwork, which influenced her decision to step down as clinical lead in 2014. Zoe's personal life is featured frequently in the series and Sarker described Zoe as "kooky" outside of work, but focused upon entering resus.

Zoe's storylines upon her introduction included an affair with married man Sean Anderson (Richard Dillane), being blackmailed for her affair with a fifteen-year-old while unaware of his age and being appointed the emergency department's clinical lead. Zoe later resigned from the post when she began struggling with the demands it involved. In 2008, Zoe became embroiled in helping Abby Evans (Amy Manson), who was being abused and when Abby was killed, Zoe fostered and planned to adopt her daughter Sharice Brooks (Adrianna Bertola). She later began a relationship with her colleague Nick Jordan (Michael French), which dissolved when she lied about being pregnant with his child. They continued a friendship and when Nick refused surgery for a brain tumour, Zoe forged his signature.

A long-running storyline for Zoe was her discovery that she was infertile, something which affected her relationship with Matt Strong (Raymond Coulthard). Zoe developed close friendships with Dylan Keogh (William Beck) and Tess Bateman (Suzanne Packer) during her time in the ED. Zoe was appointed acting clinical lead in 2012, a role which she began permanently in early 2013. She clashed with her deputy Connie Beauchamp (Amanda Mealing) over her management of the emergency department and passed over the role to her in mid-2014. Show producers created a May–December romance for Zoe in early 2014 with porter Max Walker (Jamie Davis). The relationship was well-received by viewers and was labelled "Zax" by fans. They married in 2015 which was followed by an explosive wedding reception that endangered various lives.

Casting
Actress Sunetra Sarker was cast in the role of Zoe Hanna in 2007, joining the show during the twenty-second series. Zoe was introduced as the emergency department's new consultant. Despite being the daughter of a doctor and having portrayed nurses in three of her previous roles, Sarker struggled with the medical jargon and admitted that she learns the terminology phonetically. Sarker said her father was delighted that she was portraying "a good doctor". Sarker added that Zoe's personality attracted her to the role, stating it was a "relief" to play someone feisty as she played "loveable, sweet girls" in her previous roles.

Development
Prior to appearing in Casualty, Sarker had played a guest role in sister show Holby City. Sarker describes Zoe as: "strong, cheeky and rebellious." In 2009, during Zoe's fostering storyline, Sarker commented on her character's feelings, saying: "she felt very guilty about Sharice's mother dying and being partially to blame for it all and I think she's tried to do the right thing.". Sarker then continued, claiming that Zoe was "layered in a lot of selfishness, a lot of righteousness, a lot of pigheadedness". Later on, having given up Sharice, Zoe then embarks on a relationship with department head Nick Jordan. Sarker explained that Zoe and Nick have a very interesting dynamic" and that: "You can see that they're very similar people which would make them allies or enemies. [...] Zoe's the first female to meet Jordan's professional standards. She's no pussycat and Jordan knows that. He's got a certain amount of respect for her, as she has for him. Characterising the relationship, Sarker explained: "They've both been single for a very long time through their own choices and neither of them feel any pressure or expectations, which is a good combination for something to happen. I think this is the grown-up version of a flirtation. It's a bit more factual with these two; there isn't much softness or gooeyness to them. They are more like steel on steel!"

In 2014, series producer Erika Hossington spoke to Digital Spy about future plans for Zoe, saying that one of three standalone episodes aired by the series would be centred around Zoe, "The second standalone is an episode for Zoe, which has been written by Barbara Machin. It's a 'What if?'-themed episode." Hossington also spoke about Zoe's relationship with Max, saying that it was the light relief she needed whilst clinical lead, but when the audience began engaging into their relationship, they became pleased with the fanbase. She continued to state they are "great" together as well as comparing them to Moonlighting's Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis. Hossington also revealed that following their rivalry, Connie and Zoe would call a truce.

Relationship with Dylan Keogh
In 2012, after the characters of Sam Nicholls (Charlotte Salt) and Dylan Keogh (William Beck) were revealed to be married, Casualty producer Nikki Wilson teased Zoe's relationship to Inside Soap with Dylan saying, "The relationship between Dylan and Zoe is very interesting, because when we first mentioned the obvious chemistry between the pair to the actors who play them [Beck and Sarker], they genuinely had no idea! So in one way it's great that they're not playing it in that way. But we really enjoy their banter, and there's definitely a lot more stuff to happen between them. Whether they'll get together remains to be seen...."

Break (2014)
Series producer Erika Hossington revealed in an interview with Digital Spy that Sarker had temporarily departed the show and that Zoe's exit scenes would air on 23 August, "That was because Sunetra Sarker, who has been fantastically faithful to Casualty over the last few years, just wanted to have a bit of time out. That gave us an opportunity to come up with a new story for the character."

Departure and returns

Sarker chose to leave the role in May 2016 after eight and a half years and on 7 May 2016, Zoe's exit aired as she chose to leave Holby and Max behind and join Nick in Michigan. Sarker's exit had not been announced prior to transmission, surprising viewers. Sarker had appeared in the series for nearly eight and a half years at the time of her departure. She described her time on the show as "a privilege and a pleasure", before thanking cast, crew and the "wonderful fans". Kent commented that he "missed" Sarker on-set. Hossington said Zoe's departure was "like losing a member of your family" and "it really, really hits [the team] and we get very emotional about it." She added that Sarker continuing to appear in the series after eight years was "a huge commitment" and "a testament to how special the show is and how passionate [she is] about it".

Producer Lucy Raffety confirmed in September 2017 that Sarker had reprised her role as Zoe and the character would return for one episode in early 2018. Zoe's return is billed as "sensational". Sarker revealed that, following her decision to leave the show, Jamie Davis who plays Max asked her to promise she would return when he decided to depart, a promise she honoured by appearing in the episode broadcast on 13 January 2018.

In September 2023, Sarker announced during an appearance of daytime talkshow Loose Women that she had returned to filming Casualty. She revealed that Zoe would feature in a double episode linked with the departure of Charlie Fairhead (Derek Thompson), the show's longest-serving character. The episodes will air in 2024 and feature in the thirty-eighth series. Sarker was excited to reprise the role and explained that she wanted her "last little moment" with Charlie.

A new consultant, Dylan Keogh (William Beck), arrives in the ED and makes quite an impression on Zoe and the rest of the team, but after spotting his light side, Zoe begins to warm to him. This is later seen again when Zoe discovers that Dylan helps out paramedics, Jeff and Dixie Dixon (Jane Hazlegrove) voluntarily.

They later plan to draw up a shortlist but, in the week leading up to this Guy hires the hospital's former cardiothoracic surgeon, Connie Beauchamp (Amanda Mealing), who has retrained as an emergency department consultant. Zoe is unaware of this and immediately clashes with her upon her arrival and becomes infuriated when she discovers that she will be sharing an office with Connie.

In August 2014, Zoe and Rita help treat a patient, Molly, who is faking her symptoms, however, Zoe fails to notice the reasons why.

title: Nick Kaufman

text:
Nick Kaufman (born 17 May 1968) is a British-born Israeli lawyer specializing in international criminal law and international arbitration.

Education and early career
Kaufman was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham and Magdalene College, Cambridge. He was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1991, and to the Bar of Israel in 1995. He later attended the École Nationale d'Administration (ENA) in Paris for post-graduate studies.
He formerly worked as senior district attorney in the Office of the District Attorney of Jerusalem from 1996, later as a prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and, subsequently, at the International Criminal Court in The Hague until he left to become defense counsel. He also served as a military judge in Israel's military courts in the West Bank.

Clients
Kaufman has advised and represented a number of high-profile international personalities including Jean-Pierre Bemba (the ex-Vice President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo), Callixte Mbarushimana - the alleged Executive Secretary of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda ("FDLR"), Kang Kek Iew a.k.a. “Duch” (the Commander of the Khmer Rouge prison – Tuol Sleng (“S-21”), Saadi Gaddafi, his sister Aisha Gaddafi  and Charles Blé Goudé.

In 2020 Kaufman was hired to defend Malka Leifer, an Israeli citizen charged with 74 counts of sexual abuse, in hearings to approve her extradition to Australia. He argued that publicity over her case meant she would not receive a fair trial in Australia, that she would not be able to maintain her religious beliefs in an Australian prison, and that the prosecution "failed to prove … a lack of consent".

Victims' Advocacy
In addition to defence work, Kaufman has acted on behalf of various groups of victims, especially in Africa. In 2014, Kaufman called for the prosecution of Agathon Rwasa and Pasteur Habimana of the National Forces of Liberation ("FNL") in Burundi on account of their alleged responsibility for the Gatumba Massacre in 2004. His pro-active and, at times, aggressive representation of Darfur victims at the International Criminal Court in the case against Omar al-Bashir of Sudan has earned him the sobriquet "the Octopus Lawyer". Kaufman was particularly critical of the decision of the International Criminal Court Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, to stop her investigations in Darfur in December 2014.

title: Petr Švehla

text:
Petr Švehla (born April 1, 1972 in Hodonín) is a retired amateur Czech Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's featherweight category. He picked up two career medals at the European Championships (2001 and 2004), scored a bronze in the 60-kg division at the 2005 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary, and also represented as part of the Czech Republic team in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004). Before his sporting career ended in 2009, Svehla trained as a member of the wrestling squad for PSK Olymp Praha in Prague, under his longtime coach Ervin Varga.

Svehla made his official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the men's bantamweight division (54 kg). He lost two matches in the prelim pool each to China's Wang Hui (3–8) and Iran's Hassan Rangraz (2–8). Placing on the bottom of the pool and sixteenth overall, Svehla failed to advance to the quarterfinals.

Shortly after the Games, Svehla came stronger from his Olympic setback with a marvelous victory and a gold medal effort over Georgia's Irakli Chochua in the 58-kg division at the 2001 European Championships in Istanbul, Turkey. Although he missed his title defense in the same tournament twice, Svehla managed to halt his medal drought by picking up the bronze in Haparanda, Sweden three years later.

Determined to return to the Olympic scene and medal, Svehla entered the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens on his second debut, as a 30-year-old veteran, in the men's 55 kg class. Earlier in the process, he placed fourth from the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in Créteil, France to guarantee his spot on the Czech wrestling team to the Games. As a resemblance to his previous Olympics, Svehla delivered the same fate with a pair of unprecedented defeats from U.S. wrestler and 1996 Olympic silver medalist Dennis Hall (2–3) and Ukraine's Oleksiy Vakulenko (0–4), leaving him again on the bottom and placing nineteenth in the final standings.

At the 2005 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Svehla overcame from his another Olympic setback to capture the bronze medal over the host nation's Laszlo Kliment with a striking 2–1 effort in the 60-kg category.

title: Ruby O'Donnell

text:
Ruby Victoria O'Donnell (born 26 October 2000) is an English actress. Since 2013, O'Donnell has portrayed the role of Peri Lomax in the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. For her portrayal of Peri, she won the award for Best Young Actor at the 2016 British Soap Awards

Early and personal life
O'Donnell was born in Warrington and grew up in Appleton. She has two brothers. She attended Grappenhall Heys Primary School and then Bridgewater High School. She took acting classes at Little Stars Stage School. From 2019 to 2023, O'Donnell was in a relationship with professional rugby player Sam Halsall.

Career

In September 2013, it was announced that O'Donnell had been cast in Hollyoaks as Peri Lomax, the youngest child of the newly established Lomax family. Of the family's arrival, executive producer Bryan Kirkwood commented: "I was conscious of the fact that Ste was languishing on his own with no family around him. I'm eager to bring in a strong female force." On 23 November 2014, it was announced that O'Donnell's character would be involved in a teen pregnancy storyline alongside character Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins). The storyline was devised as an effort to promote safe sex. On the storyline, O'Donnell said "Some of the scenes have been hard to tackle because I am still quite young and I've had to do a lot of research for them. I am younger than Peri, as she is just turning 15 and I’m only 14 myself. So I’ve done the research to help with my performances and to find out how teenagers actually do react in these situations." She also said, "When I was first told about the story, I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but then I had a lot of meetings about it with the show’s executive producer Bryan Kirkwood, the storyliners and the other producers. They explained it to me and made me feel a lot more comfortable about it. Now I’ve got into it, I’m very excited about the storyline and I’m really enjoying doing it." For her role as Peri, O'Donnell has been nominated twice in the Inside Soap Awards in 2014  and 2015. In August 2017, O'Donnell was longlisted for Best Young Actor at the Inside Soap Awards however she did not progress to the shortlist. O'Donnell has also been nominated for Best-On Screen partnership with Ellis Hollins, and was also nominated for Best Young Performance in 2015 and Best Young Actress at The British Soap Awards in 2016. O'Donnell's character has since developed a relationship with Juliet Nightingale (Niamh Blackshaw), for which the pair received a nomination for Best Soap Partnership at the I Talk Telly Awards.

title: Wrestle Kingdom 7

text:
Wrestle Kingdom 7 in Tokyo Dome was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promotion, which took place at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan on January 4, 2013. It was the 22nd January 4 Tokyo Dome Show and the seventh held under the "Wrestle Kingdom" name. The event featured eleven matches (including two dark matches), five of which were contested for championships. Wrestle Kingdom is traditionally NJPW's biggest event of the year and has been described as their equivalent to WWE's WrestleMania.

For the first time, the event was made available for international market on internet pay-per-view (iPPV). The event drew 29,000 fans to the Tokyo Dome, supposedly down from the three previous years, although NJPW president Naoki Sugabayashi revealed that for the first time, the promotion announced a legitimate number of tickets sold instead of a "papered" number of attendees.

The event featured outside participation from All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) representative Keiji Mutoh, Pro Wrestling Zero1 representative Shinjiro Otani, and American freelancer Shelton Benjamin. For the first time in five years, the event did not feature wrestlers from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

Production

Background
In addition to airing in Japan as a traditional pay-per-view (PPV), the event was for the first time also aired internationally on internet pay-per-view (iPPV).

Storylines
Wrestle Kingdom 7 featured eleven professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

On August 12, 2012, Kazuchika Okada defeated Karl Anderson in the finals to win the 2012 G1 Climax, winning the tournament in his first attempt, while also breaking the record for the tournament's youngest winner. Okada immediately announced his intention of regaining the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 7. Okada then signed a contract for the title match, which was then sealed in a briefcase, which he would be forced to defend until January 4. After successfully defending the contract against Karl Anderson and Hirooki Goto, the Wrestle Kingdom 7 main event was officially set between Okada and IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi.

The top two matches underneath the main event featured mixed martial artists Kazushi Sakuraba and Katsuyori Shibata. The two had made a surprise return to NJPW on August 12, 2012, and worked several matches during the rest of the year with both remaining undefeated. At the end of the year, Shinsuke Nakamura nominated Sakuraba as his challenger for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 7. Meanwhile, Shibata had entered a rivalry with Togi Makabe, which was set to culminate at Wrestle Kingdom 7.

Wrestle Kingdom 7 was also supposed the feature the NJPW debut of Daichi Hashimoto. The Pro Wrestling Zero1 representative was to be the focal point of a tag team match that would also feature Keiji Mutoh, Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima, three wrestlers his father Shinya had had classic matches with during NJPW's heyday. However, on December 27, 2012, it was announced that Hashimoto had fractured his left forearm in a match on Christmas Eve and would be replaced by Zero1 president Shinjiro Otani.

Event
In the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 7, Hiroshi Tanahashi made his sixth successful defense of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against 2012 G1 Climax winner Kazuchika Okada. In the semi-main event, billed by NJPW as the second of the "double main event", Shinsuke Nakamura made his fourth successful defense of the IWGP Intercontinental Championship against Kazushi Sakuraba. The event also featured a three-way match, where Prince Devitt made his first defense of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against Low Ki and Kota Ibushi. Low Ki wrestled the match dressed in a suit, as a protest over NJPW suspending him for a year for refusing to wrestle a show in Fukushima because of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. NJPW was reportedly "furious" over Low Ki wrestling a title match in a suit without clearing it with them first to the point that even years later, the company was said to be open to bringing anyone back "with the exception of Low Ki".

Other title matches featured the Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) making their second successful defense of the IWGP Tag Team Championship against the winners of the 2012 World Tag League, Sword & Guns (Hirooki Goto and Karl Anderson) and Masato Tanaka making his first successful defense of the NEVER Openweight Championship against Shelton Benjamin.

Daichi Hashimoto, who was forced to miss the event due to injury, accompanied Shinjiro Otani to his and Keiji Mutoh's tag team match against Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima. After Tenzan had pinned Otani to win the match, Hashimoto had a heated exchange with the winners, slapping Tenzan, who responded with a headbutt.

Reception
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter called Wrestle Kingdom 7 "the best Tokyo Dome show the promotion has ever put on", praising the main event as a "classic world title match". Meltzer also noted that if NJPW were being truthful about the attendance number being the actual number of paid attendees, the show would have to be considered a "huge success" as the last time the company drew a larger attendance number of paid fans to the Tokyo Dome was in 2003.

Aftermath
The day after Wrestle Kingdom 7, Takaaki Kidani resigned from his position as NJPW chairman. Dave Meltzer wrote that while Kidani was an "enthusiastic supporter" of NJPW, his hero in professional wrestling was Eric Bischoff and like Bischoff, he wanted to be a part of the show. Kidani had been the one to sign Kazushi Sakuraba and Katsuyori Shibata and wanted to do a full invasion storyline with shooters. Meltzer noted that the last time NJPW had tried a similar storyline under Antonio Inoki it killed the company's in-ring product. At Wrestle Kingdom 7, Kidani wanted both Sakuraba and Shibata to win and he wanted to personally be in Sakuraba's corner as he became the new Intercontinental Champion. However, a conflict with NJPW bookers Gedo and Jado led to both Sakuraba and Shibata losing and Kidani announcing his resignation. While Kidani left his position inside NJPW, his company Bushiroad retained ownership of NJPW.

title: Cyclone Alibera

text:
Tropical Cyclone Alibera was the third longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record in the south-west Indian Ocean, with a duration of 22 days. It formed on December 16, 1989, well to the northeast of Madagascar. For several days, it meandered southwestward while gradually intensifying. On December 20, Alibera intensified to tropical cyclone status with 10‑minute maximum sustained winds of , or the equivalent of a minimal hurricane. That day, the Météo-France office in Réunion (MFR) estimated 10‑minute winds of , while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), an unofficial warning agency for the region, estimated peak 1‑minute winds of . After drifting erratically for several days, the storm began a steady southwest motion on December 29 as a greatly weakened system. On January 1, Alibera struck southeastern Madagascar near Mananjary, having re-intensified to just below tropical cyclone status. It weakened over land but again restrengthened upon reaching open waters on January 3. The storm turned to the southeast, then to the southwest, and finally back to the southeast, dissipating on January 5.

Early in its duration, Alibera produced gusty winds in the Seychelles. Upon moving ashore in Madagascar, the cyclone lashed coastal cities with heavy rainfall and up to 250-km/h (150-mph) wind gusts. In Mananjary, nearly every building was damaged or destroyed, and locals considered it the worst storm since 1925. Across the region, the cyclone destroyed large areas of crops, thousands of houses, and several roads and bridges. Alibera killed 46 people and left 55,346 people homeless. After the storm, the Malagasy government requested for international assistance.

Meteorological history

The first named storm of the season, Tropical Cyclone Alibera, formed on December 16 about halfway between Tromelin Island and Diego Garcia as a tropical disturbance. It originated from the Intertropical Convergence Zone and initially consisted of a spiral area of thunderstorms. The system moved erratically, first to the southwest, then to the southeast, and later curving back to the west, steered by a ridge to the southeast. On December 18, the Météo-France office in Réunion (MFR) estimated that the system attained winds of , making it a moderate tropical storm. The MFR is the official Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for the basin. As a result, the Mauritius Meteorological Service named the storm Alibera. Also on December 18, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), a joint United States Navy and Air Force task force issuing cyclone warnings for the region, assessed that the storm had winds equivalent to a minimal hurricane in a post-storm analysis. While the storm was active, however, the JTWC did not begin advisories until the following day.

Alibera quickly intensified, attaining tropical cyclone status on December 20 while southwest of Agaléga. Although the MFR estimated 10‑minute winds of  that day, the JTWC assessed that the storm was vastly stronger, estimating peak 1‑minute winds of . This is equivalent to a super typhoon, which made Alibera tied for the strongest cyclone in the southern hemisphere that season, along with Cyclone Alex in the Australian basin. On December 21, Alibera turned sharply to the south and slowly weakened. On the next day, the storm curved to an eastward drift as a downgraded severe tropical storm, its path influenced by ridges to the east and west. It maintained its intensity for the next several days, turning back to the south on December 24 and slowly recurving to the west. However, the movement was erratic, and the storm executed four small loops. Although the MFR had forecasting difficulties during this time, the storm remained far enough to the north of the Mascarene Islands to limit rainfall warnings.

On December 29, Alibera began a steady track to the southwest after the ridge weakened, and briefly deteriorated to minimal tropical storm status. However, it re-intensified to just shy of tropical cyclone status on January 1. Shortly thereafter, Alibera made landfall north of Mananjary in southeastern Madagascar, at 3 a.m. local time on New Year's Day, with 10‑minute winds of . The storm quickly weakened over land, but again restrengthened upon reaching the Mozambique Channel on January 3. This was short-lived, as Alibera weakened back to tropical depression status by January 5. The storm moved to the southeast, turned to the southwest, and finally back to the southeast before dissipating on January 7, having been swept into the westerlies.

Alibera was the second longest-lasting tropical cyclone in the basin since the start of satellite imagery by the time it had dissipated, with a duration of 22 days. Cyclone Georgette in 1968 lasted longer at 24 days. After Alibera, the only storm to approach Alibera's duration until Cyclone Freddy, was Cyclone Leon–Eline in 2000, which lasted 21 days in the basin (29 days overall).

Impact and aftermath
Before Alibera affected Madagascar, it produced winds of tropical cyclone force in the Seychelles. On Tromelin Island, Alibera produced sustained winds of  with gusts to .

In Mananjary where the cyclone moved ashore, Alibera produced gusts of . There, nearly every building was damaged or destroyed, including hospitals, government offices, and schools. About 80% of houses were destroyed. The cyclone shut down the city's water system, disrupted access to the ocean, cut communications, and blocked or damaged most roads. There were 15 deaths in Mananjary alone. The storm damage in Mananjary prevented ships from delivering supplies. Residents in the region considered the storm to be the worst since 1925.

Elsewhere in southern Madagascar, the cyclone damaged about 70% of the buildings in Nosy Varika and 15% of Ivohibe. In the former town, many schools and houses were destroyed, leaving thousands homeless, and 4,230 houses were destroyed in Vohipeno. Strong winds damaged walls and roofs in several other towns in Fianarantsoa Province. The offshore island of Île Sainte-Marie sustained heavy damage. Across Fianarantsoa Province, Alibera destroyed  of rice, corn, coffee, bananas, and vegetables, although most of the damage was to the rice crop. The cyclone also wrecked about  of cotton and tobacco fields in Ihosy, and downed many trees along its path. Areas in southeastern Madagascar experienced heavy rainfall, which flooded rivers and canals in Fianarantsoa Province. Across the region, 23 roads were cut or damaged, totaling  of roads in need of repairs. This included a  portion of a mountain road that was destroyed, as well as a damaged section of Route nationale 7. In Vohipeno, the floods destroyed 13 bridges, and a bridge was damaged in Ifanadiana. The cyclone also cut a portion of the Fianarantsoa-Côte Est railway, thus disrupting regional economic activity. Across Madagascar, Alibera killed 46 people and left 55,346 homeless.

On January 18, the Malagasy government issued an appeal to the international community for assistance. The Office of the United Nations Disaster Relief Coordinator provided $15,000 (USD) in emergency funding to purchase immediate supplies. The United States sent $20,000 to rebuild schools and hospitals. Other countries donated $135,000 in supplies or cash, including $82,000 from Japan and $23,000 from the United Kingdom. In Mananjary, the local government provided  of rice to affected families, while the national government provided other relief goods to the city after roads were cleared. After the storm, a school in Farafangana housed 900 locals who were left homeless. Existing food supplies were sufficient to feed affected residents after the storm passed.
