Joe Biden trips and stumbles three times boarding Air Force One
President Joe Biden stumbled three times and fell on the steps of Air Force One on Friday, prompting fresh questions about his health. The 78-year-old - the oldest president in US history - appeared to struggle as he boarded the presidential plane. It was not immediately clear what tripped Mr Biden up the first time, but shortly after recovering he fell twice more before dusting himself off. Security officials, meanwhile, looked on with concern from the ground. The president recovered to give a salute at the top of the stairs before departing to meet with Asian American community leaders in the wake of the massage parlour massacre in Atlanta, Georgia. In November, the commander-in-chief suffered a hairline fracture in his right foot while playing with his rescue dog Major, requiring him to wear an orthopedic boot for several weeks. Mr Biden, who has said he uses a Peloton bike to keep fit, often makes a point of jogging in a show of his fitness.

‘I have been raped, grabbed and groped by strangers – the Sarah Everard case has brought it all back’
I have been raped, sexually assaulted, grabbed, drugged and threatened. I’ve been yelled at on street corners at all times of day or night, in heels and in trainers. I have been fired after saying I didn’t feel comfortable alone in a room with a large man whose face was bulging purple with rage. The offending issue? Defining what time constitutes the start of “evening”. I have been made to apologise and received voicemails blaming me for making one abuser feel like a guilty man, when it was all in fact “a joke”. Ask me if I was drunk, or wearing a short skirt – I dare you. At 19, I was forced into a car by a very drunk, infernally angry ex-partner and driven at hellraising speed down a motorway against the black veil of night in Irun, Spain. I was told that we were both going to die. I tried to scream, but the terror was caught dry in my throat and nothing came out. I couldn’t move. At last, miles out of the city, a cohort of police vehicles, sirens wailing, brought what I was sure were my last moments to a screeching halt. My partner was taken to prison that night, the following day found guilty of driving under the influence and speeding, banned from driving in Spain and slapped with a fine. I have never been truly OK since. All that is to say, I know what it feels like to be out of control, hurtling towards the paralysing promise of imminent pain and perhaps even death. And this past two weeks, with the news of Sarah Everard’s death, it’s like I’m living it again. Feeling that squeezing, racing, breathless sensation of absolute white-cold terror in my chest. My body is shuddery but frozen still. I felt it in the Renault aged 19, and it lives inside me to rear its devastating head at moments like this. I feel like I’m going to be sick. The nightmares never stop but the flashbacks have grown stronger again.
