Not all employees of major firms working on artificial intelligence (AI) think the technology spells doom for humanity.

In text exchanges and conversations, multiple people who have worked for companies including OpenAI, Meta and DeepMind were sceptical of the idea that unchecked AI development would lead to tools that could kill people en masse.

"Lol", "Haaaaaa" and "Bringing the luls" were among the reactions the BBC received to a recent flurry of high-profile warnings by some people in the industry.

While these fears go back decades, claims made last week by Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic employee, went viral and were echoed by others in the sector who urged a slowdown in development.

The idea that a future AI tool or agent, an AI bot that is programmed to operate somewhat autonomously, could endanger people has been supported online by employees of Anthropic, as well as OpenAI, Deepmind and Elon Musk, who has an AI startup called xAI.

All of the workers who spoke with the BBC did so on condition of anonymity as they were not permitted to speak to the press. Their identities are known to the BBC.

"My first thought was, 'That guy?'" said a former OpenAI employee who knew of Coxon when they both worked at the company.

The person, who now works at another AI company, said their amusement at the new moment of existential AI fears largely stemmed from how little detail had been provided by its proponents to defend the notion that all of human life was at stake.

The claims are "always vague", the person said, adding that when they sound specific, they tend toward major jumps in reasoning or hypothetical circumstances.

Coxon has said a group of AI agents, based on AI models that do not currently exist, could decide to create and then aim a biological weapon, but he did not detail how exactly that would take place.

Sukma, for her part, told us she was called to Abah's house to discover two police officers and an NWDI lawyer waiting for her. They forced her to sign a document saying all her allegations were lies, she said. Her account is backed up by a secret recording she later made as she challenged Abah's wife, Hurmiati.

Hurmiati can be heard telling her to respect their "agreement" that nothing happened, adding: "Do you want this to haunt you for the rest of your life? Do you want it to damage the chances of you getting married?"

This pressure even extended to Abah asking Yusron's parents to fly to Jakarta to look for him at university. They didn't find him - he was hiding in a hotel - but the ordeal was too much for Yusron's mother. She told her son the stress was killing her.

So Yusron reluctantly stopped his investigation.

Meanwhile he and Zia were slowly getting closer. The friendship had become a long-distance relationship, and they were regularly speaking on the phone.

"And I could see she was really struggling… She'd say things like: 'Why do I keep thinking about what [Abah] did?'."

Yusron was torn between helping the girl he was falling in love with, and the promise he had made to his mother.

And then, eight months later, Yusron heard about a group raising awareness about sexual abuse in Islamic schools. It had been set up by a young woman called Ayu Masruroh, who had helped her friend get justice after she had been sexually assaulted at another school, by a teacher called Moch Subchi Azal Tsani.

Ayu was now actively posting on social media about the need to speak out.

It inspired Zia to post a call-out on Instagram, asking any Indonesian student who had experienced abuse to get in touch.

And she was to discover that, despite Abah's remonstrations, and promises to change, he had apparently offended again. Someone who went to Zia's school got in touch to say she too had been sexually exploited by Abah. The alleged abuse had taken place almost a year after his pledges to Zia and Yusron.

"It made me realise [Abah] hadn't really changed at all… all the things he said about stopping… It was all just lies," said Zia.

If you are in the UK, and have been affected by issues of sexual abuse or violence, information and support is available at BBC Action Line

Yusron's parents finally agreed he should help Zia and Sukma to continue their quest for justice.

But this time, the friends decided to do things differently. They contacted Ayu, and she was clear: get a lawyer. She introduced them to someone experienced in representing sexual abuse survivors. He advised that Sukma's case was the strongest to ensure a prosecution.

We contacted Abah and Hurmiati about the allegations against them - they did not respond.

NWDI said it was still investigating the allegations internally and denied ever trying to cover up sexual abuse claims.

It said it had "a duty to safeguard the organisation from being tarnished by the alleged actions of individuals".

Sukma filed her claim against Abah to the police in February last year. She is still waiting for them to take action and Abah is still in post.

"I don't want what happened to me, to happen to any other students. I want justice," she told the BBC.

The investigation has, however, brought Zia and Yusron ever closer. Last February, after three years of messaging and speaking, Yusron decided to move to Cairo to be with her.

Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen say they carried out drone and ballistic missile attacks on the Saudi capital Riyadh, as well as energy sites on the country's Red Sea coast.

Saudi authorities said they intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired at Riyadh earlier that day, without confirming any further strikes or causalities.

Earlier, a column of black smoke was seen rising from fuel tanks near the Saudi capital's international airport, where flights were disrupted temporarily on Saturday.

Air raid alerts had sounded in the capital for the first time since the Iran-backed Houthis increased their attacks on Saudi Arabia in July.

Air defences also stopped "hostile attempts to target civilians" in the cities of Bish, Taif, Farasan and Yanbu, an official spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition said in a statement.

In a statement posted online, Houthi military spokesman Yahya al-Sarea said a "large number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones" had been used to attack "sensitive sites" in Riyadh and Aramco state oil and gas company facilities in Yanbu on the coast.

He added that the attacks were "in response to the Saudi enemy's criminal attempts" to target the Yemeni capital Sanaa, which is currently controlled by the Houthis.

Earlier, Sarea had accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out 300 strikes across Yemen during the past week.

The Houthis are locked in a civil war with Yemen's internationally recognised government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia.

They have attacked targets inside Saudi Arabia on several occasions in recent months, and said this week that they were responsible for downing a Saudi fighter jet over Yemen.

According to an unconfirmed report from AFP news agency, quoting military sources on both sides of Yemen's civil war, fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces claimed 48 lives on Saturday.

The Houthis said 31 of their fighters had been killed while government sources said their side had lost 17 soldiers, according to the news agency.

On Friday, the International Organization for Migration, a UN body, reported that the number of people displaced as a result of recent fighting had passed 104,796, external.

A fire at a seaside hotel where about 280 people were evacuated is believed to have been caused deliberately, police have said.

A total of 26 fire engines were sent to the Grand Burstin Hotel in Folkestone at about 01:05 BST on Saturday, Kent Fire & Rescue Service said.

Kent Police said that the fire was being treated as suspicious and is appealing for witnesses.

"Inquiries into the circumstances are under way," police said.

Sir Ed Davey said the Liberal Democrats are "a firewall against Nigel Farage and Reform" as the party's conference began in Brighton.

The Lib Dem leader sought to strike a combative stance as he faced down some criticism from MPs, including one who said publicly that they felt the party was struggling for relevance.

On the first day of the autumn conference, Sir Ed warned an "unholy alliance" between Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Farage could turn the UK into a "Trump satellite state".

Addressing speculation about a possible snap election, he said the party was ready to fight and would build its so-called orange wall even higher by winning more than its 2024 record of 72 MPs.

Sir Ed's attention-grabbing stunts helped raise the party's profile ahead of the last election, but recent polling showed 43% of respondents were unclear what the Liberal Democrats stand for, with just over half describing them as "weak".

In an essay, external written ahead of conference, South Cotswolds MP Roz Savage asked: "Why are we as a party struggling for relevance at precisely the moment when so many people feel powerless?"

She urged the party to rediscover its "insurgent spirit" rather than being the "polite custodians of a system that leaves people feeling powerless".

Asked about her comments, Sir Ed said: "No, I heard Roz [Savage], and I really value her, but I think she's wrong on that.

"If you look at our election results up and down the country, we now run more councils than the Conservatives."

He added: "Listen, MPs get elected and they get frustrated because they can't change the world.

"I'm afraid that's the political system. I've been used to it for a little while and people are learning about that frustration."

Speaking on the pebbles of Brighton Beach, Sir Ed told reporters the Liberal Democrats would fight to stop a Reform government.

"One of the things that makes us unique is that we are a firewall against Nigel Farage and Reform," he said.

"Many of the seats he needs to get himself into No 10 are seats that we will defend and indeed win - and we are also able to take seats off the Conservatives, because I really fear that Kemi Badenoch will give the keys to No 10 to Nigel Farage, so we have got to stop the Conservatives as well.

"We have got an historic opportunity to win many more seats and a moral responsibility to stop Reform."

He added a manifesto working group had already been set up in case of an early election "so we'll be ready if it comes early, but, you know, it still could be up to three years away".

Sir Ed insisted his party has a "distinctive position" in British politics, and will use the four-day conference to position it to take on the challenge from Reform as well as its typical rivals the Conservatives, talking up their focus on the NHS and goal of re-joining the EU single market and customs union.

The Lib Dem leader highlighted how six former Conservative cabinet ministers were among 25 Tories to have defected to Reform in the last two years, claiming they were now competing with each other to see who can divide the country more, rather than looking to fix the country's problems.

"An unholy alliance between Farage and Badenoch is the only way either can get into power," he said.

"Together, they want to turn Britain into a Trump satellite state which would trash our NHS, turn our communities against each other, cause untold damage to our environment, and trample over traditional British values of fairness, tolerance, and decency.

"A bigger Orange Wall is the only thing that can stand between Britain and this dangerous experiment, and we will not let them pass."

Davey also attacked the Labour government as having no plan for growth, failing to support families struggling with the cost of living and taxing small businesses "to the brink".

Ahead of a speech to party members, Davey urged Liberal Democrats not to look away from injustice or "human dignity under attack" but to fight back.

Strictly Come Dancing has returned to the small screen for its 24th series, in a new era for the show as it moves forward with a revamped presenting line up.

Broadcaster Emma Willis, comedian Josh Widdicombe and former Strictly professional Johannes Radebe made their presenting debut on Saturday, taking over from long-running hosting duo Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, who left the show last year.

A fresh cohort of famous faces – including actress Melanie Walters and former England footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips – also stepped onto the ballroom floor for the first time.

During the launch show, it was revealed which professional dancers they were paired with.

Stepping out onto the ballroom floor after a huge all-cast opening dance routine, Willis said presenting Strictly was a "genuine honour".

"Josh, you've got moves," proclaimed Radebe, a former professional on the show. While Widdicombe added that it was "a little bit overwhelming" but he was "delighted" to be there.

In a first for the show, celebrity and pro pairings were revealed via three dance routines. It functioned as a musical chairs of sorts, in which the contestants switched partners until the music was paused, and a couple was announced.

The president's frustration at the media, however, came after a week of setbacks in which major institutions handed him a series of losses across his agenda.

First, the Supreme Court blocked his plan to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the midterms. This prompted Trump to lash out at the court's justices including those he had appointed. "These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court," he said.

The Federal Reserve, the US central bank, then raised interest rates after Trump had spent months arguing they should be cut. This was followed by a judge ordering his administration to give 30 days' notice before making any changes to the Kennedy Center arts venue in Washington DC after the president warned it could be "ripped down".

These headlines, combined with approval ratings that recently sunk to record lows for his second term, suggest Trump is facing challenging political headwinds.

His latest attack on the press, however, raises clear legal questions.

The First Amendment to the US Constitution forbids Congress from "abridging" the freedom of the press. It is language that courts have long interpreted as preventing the government from discriminating against the media based on the content of their coverage.

All three targeted news outlets have promised to file lawsuits challenging Trump's decision.

Although the breadth of this move is unprecedented, it is far from the first time the Trump administration has attempted to limit or deny access to the White House to members of mainstream media outlets.

In his first term, the administration revoked CNN correspondent Jim Acosta's press credentials, setting off a legal battle that was ultimately resolved in the journalist's favour. It also temporarily suspended the pass of a reporter who had a heated argument with White House adviser Sebastian Gorka – a move that also was subsequently blocked by the courts.

Last year, the White House banned reporters for the Associated Press from participating in the president's press pool - which allows media outlets access to smaller in-town and travelling presidential appearances - because the newswire service would not follow Trump's move to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

That dispute also led to a protracted - and yet to be fully resolved - legal battle, prompting the White House to change press pool rules to drop the guaranteed spot for all wire services.

"The officer asked me to hand over my badge. He said that it was disabled," MS NOW reporter Akayla Gardner said. "I asked why I was not able to get inside. He said it was above him."

Gardner added that while her and her colleague's badges were disabled, an MS NOW producer was still able to scan her badge to get in, though she was not given an explanation as to why the producer's badge still worked.

CNN reporter Betsy Klein said a Secret Service agent told her her badge had been deactivated.

Later on Saturday morning, Politico said its reporter Cheyenne Haslett was denied entry and Secret Service revoked her pass.

All three outlets have spoken out against the decision, accusing Trump of violating their constitutional rights to free speech and freedom of the press.

An MS NOW spokesperson said in a statement that the White House "belongs to the American people and the decisions made inside are funded by our tax dollars".

MS NOW said it "intends to take any and all steps necessary to defend our First Amendment rights and the essential role of independent journalism in our democracy".

Politico Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Greenberger said in an internal email, shared in the outlet's Playbook newsletter, that the company stands by its reporters and will "vigorously defend" their First Amendment rights.

And CNN said, "We have a right under the US Constitution to do our reporting without hindrance or interference from the government and this ban is an illegal assault on this fundamental right."

In his announcement, Trump did not mention specific stories or reporting from the three outlets that prompted the move, but later said "it's really just cumulative stories over the last few years".

Trump added that there "may be others to join them", but has not given a directive banning additional news outlets. When later asked by a reporter what he meant by others to come, Trump responded: "Others to come in terms of fake news? Well, you know, the New York Times is fake news, the Washington Post is fake news."

The White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) - the independent, non-profit group that represents journalists who cover the US presidency - called on the administration "to immediately restore" access to the journalists and accused it of violating the First Amendment.

"The implications extend beyond these organizations: a standard used to exclude one news outlet because of its coverage could be applied to any outlet in the future," said WHCA President Jacqui Heinrich, who works for Fox News.

Heinrich said that the Americans, through a free and independent press, must be able to scrutinise those elected in their coverage "regardless of whether government officials view it favorably".

"That's why courts have repeatedly held that once the White House provides access to journalists, it cannot deny that access arbitrarily or based on the content of their reporting."

Several groups dedicated to the freedom of the press have called Trump's White House ban illegal and unconstitutional.

A major group that provides legal services to the media - the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press - said it expected Trump's ban to be struck down quickly by the courts because it was "flatly unconstitutional".

"The First Amendment is clear that once the White House invites in some journalists, it can't ban others because it doesn't like their reporting," said Bruce Brown, president of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, which provides legal services to the media.

It's the latest in a series of moves by the administration to target media outlets Trump says are critical of him, including legal action against US and international outlets like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the BBC.

Some of the lawsuits have resulted in media organisations agreeing to pay multimillion dollar settlements. Trump's lawsuit against the BBC is ongoing.

A tribute to three-year-old Noah Woods was shown on the big screen ahead of the Everton vs Ipswich Town Premier League match, while players wore black armbands in his memory.

The toddler became separated from a relative after visiting a playground in Merriam Close, Brantham, on Tuesday afternoon, Suffolk Police said.

About 1,300 members of the public joined a search to find Noah, who police said was non-verbal, partially deaf and had been undergoing an assessment for autism.

Met Police divers recovered his body from a lake, known locally as Decoy Pond, on Wednesday afternoon and Suffolk Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious.

Since taking charge in 2019, Arteta has made a point of reiterating how much he values physicality and the demands he puts on his side to win duels.

But against Brighton, Arsenal were dominated all over the pitch and lost challenges which they would usually be expected to win.

Arteta said he was "extremely disappointed" as his side were "very far" from doing the basics he expected, with uncertainty in defence, a loss of midfield control and lack of attacking creativity.

Asked why they were below par, the Spaniard added: "Well, the first one because Brighton they were really good, and they had another bite, and at the times it was better.

"There are a lot of moments when the ball is 50-50 and it changes hands and most of the time it was for them.

"Sometimes there were some technical errors very much involved that opened us up in a really difficult way, but that's something to learn."

He was quick to remind the media in his news conference after the game that it was still a good start to the season.

The Gunners had 15 players at the World Cup which meant that a large part of the squad joined up for pre-season later than the rest of their team-mates.

"That's not going to take away what the team has done and the boys have done in the last six or seven weeks since coming back from the World Cup," added Arteta.

"What we've done and the way we've competed and the amount of games we've won has been remarkable, but this is a big lesson for all of us to understand what it takes to win at this level."

Brighton's 125th anniversary celebrations could not have gone much better.

Decked out in specially-made commemorative kit, Fabian Hurzeler's side produced a performance befitting the occasion.

A home game against Arsenal had the potential to put a dampener on the festivities but instead Brighton marmalised the defending Premier League champions.

A record crowd of 31,944 were at the Amex Stadium to witness it, roaring their side on to the most comprehensive of 3-0 wins.

Pascal Gross fired them in front, Charalampos Kostoulas drilled in the second on the stroke of half-time and Chema Andres' header made it three after the break.

They had the chances to add to that lead but three was more than enough and the celebrations in the stands had started long before the final whistle.

"It was a special one, not only because we played against maybe the best team in England but because of the performance," Hurzeler told BBC Match of the Day.

"The boys started really intense, they won their personal duels, played good in possession and created chances.

"I'm really proud of my team, hopefully they enjoy it today because these kind of moments are important to enjoy."

From near oblivion to Europe and beating the champions of England on the club's milestone day, this is the Seagulls' remarkable story...

It is Thursday, 9 November, 2023. Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi is addressing his players in the Amsterdam Arena before their Europa League tie with Ajax.

"There's 3,000 Brighton fans in this stadium tonight," said the Italian. "But there's more than twice that number in the city who have travelled over. Remember that when you go on to that pitch."

A long-standing senior Brighton official was in the dressing room that day. A fan first and foremost, but someone who has spent almost three decades working for the club.

"It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up," he said.

For some clubs, an encounter with Ajax is commonplace. Not Brighton.

"The royalty of European football," says the official. "From where we've come from, to be in that environment. It was a pinch-me moment."

Brighton won 2-0. It was the high point of the first European campaign in the club's history.

Ask Paul Samrah for his single most memorable moment as a Brighton fan and a very different answer comes back, which goes to the heart of why, as they celebrate their 125th birthday around the visit of Arsenal, the Seagulls are almost unique among English clubs.

August 2007. "After the years of campaigning, the days and nights I spent fighting for regime change and then for the stadium, the moment I heard we'd actually got planning permission, that our objectors had decided not to continue their fruitless efforts to stop the stadium," he explained.

"We'd won our battle."

The two stories highlight the before and after reality of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Hear'Say were top of the pops, a mobile phone game called 'Snake' was all the rage and Tony Blair was Prime Minister.

Wind the clock back to April 2001 and things looked rather different.

It was also the last time Coventry City tasted victory in English football's top flight.

That came courtesy of a 1-0 win over Sunderland - John Hartson heading in the winner for Gordon Strachan's side in front of 20,946 fans at Highfield Road.

Much has happened in the life of Coventry since that moment 9,287 days ago. A rollercoaster journey might be understating it.

They were relegated at the end of the 2000-01 campaign and would spend the next 11 seasons in the second tier before dropping down to League One in 2012.

Then followed a particularly dark and turbulent period in the club's history featuring points deductions and a stint in administration.

Having left Highfield Road in 2005 they became embroiled in a bitter dispute over the Ricoh Arena in 2013 and its rent.

The nadir, arguably, was when they were forced to play matches away from Coventry, at Northampton Town, before later plummeting down to the fourth tier for the first time in 59 years in 2017.

Doubtless there were those packed into the Bridgford Stand at the City Ground on Saturday who were present during those years of Sky Blue hell.

So the explosion of emotion at the full-time whistle - after Jay Dasilva's goal settled matters - felt like Sky Blue heaven.

"It's been a tough opening for us, so those first Premier League points feel great," Coventry boss Frank Lampard told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"I thought the players were brilliant. The fight, work ethic and togetherness but also the tactical side of it. They dug and fought for each other which is what you need to win a Premier League game."

Head coach John Mitchell believes England's thrilling draw with Canada will inspire "greater things to come" from the world champions despite the result ending their record-breaking winning streak.

England had won their past 39 Tests before Saturday's fixture.

Canada, who had lost their 13 previous meetings with the Red Roses on English soil, held England to a 26-26 draw in a nail-biting, physical battle at Exeter's Sandy Park.

It was only the second game domestically or internationally for England's players this season and, for Mitchell, one result is not justification to tear up the playbook.

Instead, he views it as a building block towards future success.

"It was just a matter of scoring across the white line," Mitchell said. "We were applying huge pressure. We just didn't convert."

Avoiding defeat means the Red Roses have extended their unbeaten run to 40 matches, a record they will hope to extend with WXV Global Series games against New Zealand, two more fixtures against Canada and another against the United States still to come.

Former Celtic captain Scott Brown believes a win for the Scottish champions against Rangers on Sunday "changes the game" after a turbulent week for Martin O'Neill's side.

Rangers triumphed 3-0 at home in last Sunday's Old Firm League Cup quarter-final before Celtic opened their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 defeat at home by Ferencvaros on Thursday.

However, Celtic's early season domestic form has them going into Sunday's match in the east end of Glasgow - which like last week will have no visiting supporters in attendance - with a five-point advantage over their Ibrox rivals.

"If Celtic win and they're eight points clear, it changes the game," Brown said on BBC Scotland's YouTube channel.

"Can [Rangers] go to Celtic Park and do they exact same thing as last week?

"Celtic now have had a week to understand how that game went. They are going to have to make sure that they match that energy but also match that willingness to go and win the match."

Third T20 international, Old Trafford

Sri Lanka 124 all out (18.5 overs): Nissanka 36 (24), K Mendis 35 (28); Baker 2-17, Archer 2-23, Jacks 2-31

England 126-2 (9.4 overs): Buttler 62* (32), Brook 33 (21)

England won by eight wickets, won series 3-0

Scorecard

England steamrollered Sri Lanka in the third T20 to complete a 3-0 series clean sweep and return to number one in the world rankings.

Watched by new Test coach Stephen Fleming, England once again outclassed the tourists to conclude a one-sided series played on the fringe of autumn.

England's pace bowlers were outstanding in dismissing Sri Lanka for a paltry 124, then the home side chased the target in 9.4 overs.

Jamie Overton conceded only 15 runs in his four overs, including taking a wicket. Sonny Baker's improvement continued with 2-17 and Jofra Archer recovered from an expensive start to return 2-23.

England's fielding was sharp, best demonstrated by Liam Dawson's direct hit to run out Eshan Malinga.

The target was never likely to pose a challenge to an England batting line-up that remains powerful despite Phil Salt and Jacob Bethell being absent injured.

Though opener Aneurin Donald was out for 13, Jos Buttler and Harry Brook strolled the pursuit with a second-wicket stand of 85.

Brook was run out for 33, leaving Buttler to wrap it up with a six that left him unbeaten on 61.

The victory by eight wickets was concluded with 62 balls to spare - the most for England in a home T20 international.

The success was England's 23rd win in 26 completed T20s since Brook took charge in the summer of 2024. They have reclaimed their number one ranking from India.

The pity for this group is a rare lengthy wait until the next global T20 tournament. The next men's T20 World Cup is not until 2028, the same year T20 cricket makes its debut in the Olympics.

England are instead building towards a 50-over World Cup in southern Africa in the autumn of 2027. Three one-day internationals against the Sri Lankans begin in Durham on Tuesday.

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick says he still has faith in the video assistant referee - but added that the apology for the error that led to their defeat in the Manchester derby does not mean much.

Referee's body Pro Ref issued a formal apology to United within three hours of the end of Manchester City's 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.

Neither VAR Matt Donohue nor his assistant Blake Antrobus have been selected for games this weekend after failing to spot City midfielder Enzo Fernandez clearly in an offside position and interfering with play before Erling Haaland's matchwinner for City.

Carrick was livid after the game, saying it was a "worrying" interpretation of the rules.

And before his side's Premier League trip to Fulham on Sunday, the United boss was asked if he still had faith in VAR.

"One-off things can happen," he said.

"At the time it was a pretty big one, we know that. I don't think I need to go over that. But yes, I've got faith in it. It's the system we work towards and that we use."

Referee's chief Howard Webb has been heavily criticised over general officiating standards in the game.

Analysing the incident on 'Match Officials Mic'd Up', Webb said he was "really disappointed" with the outcome, stating the officials had been too focused on a potential offside against Haaland and had failed to assess Fernandez's position.

Webb has spoken to United about the situation in an effort to be more accountable.

"The apology doesn't mean an awful lot," said Carrick.

"I can appreciate and respect them putting their hands up and saying we got that wrong - it does happen. We just have to deal with it.

"Maybe we get one or two decisions on the law of averages or whatever but that one had a huge impact on the game and that's why it was particularly tough."

August was a brutal month for Ukraine. Russian aerial attacks increased significantly, launching thousands of drones. Kyiv was intensely bombarded, as were the southern cities of Mykolaiv and Odesa. Amid the destruction and loss of life, Odesa reported damage to six Unesco-protected sites, including the salmon-pink 19th Century Alexandru Sturdza House.

It raised again the question of why it is so hard to hold actors accountable for the destruction of buildings and objects with real cultural significance.

In the last month alone, Ukraine's Ministry of Culture reported that 148 cultural heritage sites were recorded as damaged or destroyed, including in Odesa.

Several Ukrainian activist groups have tried to get accountability by lodging complaints with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Russia over cultural destruction and looting, but no indictments have been issued.

Bijan Rouhani, a senior researcher at the Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa project, says that the legal framework may be strong on paper but in practice it almost inevitably falls short. "No state actor has ever been tried for this offence. The obstacle is no longer evidence. We have satellite imagery, remote sensing and monitoring teams. The obstacle is jurisdiction and political will."

Looking at the cauldron of conflicts convulsing the world, the question is ever more pressing as to whether effective action is possible to stop the damage being done or ensure accountability when it does.

As a 75-year-old lesbian, Mindy Meleyal has lived through every major milestone in the modern LGBT rights movement, from the start of decriminalisation in 1967 to the first same-sex marriages in 2014.

But now she says this important part of her identity is frequently overlooked due to her age.

She's part of England's older LGBTQ+ community, which a new report suggests often experiences poorer health, more limited finances and greater social isolation than the wider older population.

The report, from the Centre for Ageing Better, says without specialist support, this growing demographic could be forced "back into the closet" when accessing care, warning they may even delay getting the care they need because of concerns about homophobia.

Adam Porter, a housing development manager from the LGBT Foundation charity, says he regularly meets older members of the community in exactly that situation.

"It's very common for people to hide things if they have a carer visiting their home, for example hiding their wedding photos or taking down a trans flag," he says.

"In the case of someone moving into a care environment, that means hiding who they are in their own home, for what could be the rest of their life."

He says he has been "horrified" by some of the stories he has heard meeting older LGBTQ+ people, including some who have had carers offer to "pray for them" regarding their sexuality.

Porter is part of the team behind Kindred House, a first-of-its-kind LGBTQ+ social housing scheme for over-55s, set to open in Manchester next year.

Casual sex. Relationships. Parenting. Sharon Horgan has already seen us through several life stages via hit comedy dramas such as Pulling, Catastrophe and Motherland.

Now, with her latest show Youth, Horgan puts the spotlight on 50-something women, imbued with her trademark tightly balanced mix of hilarity and pathos.

The HBO Max series sees Horgan's character, Alex, gamely attempting to juggle a stressful publishing career while looking after a teenage son and elderly parents. She's part of the so-called sandwich generation, those in midlife who have to juggle caring responsibilities for old and young while often working, too.

And that's not all - Alex is also back in the dating game following a divorce.

I'm curious to know how much of Youth is based on Horgan's own experience. The star is divorced and has two daughters.

"We've all got kids who are kind of adults now and parents who are getting older and ailing in some cases. There is a chunk of my life in there, an… autobiographical element for sure. But the good thing about writing autofiction is that no one really knows which bits are real and which bits aren't, I guess, except the people [in it]!"

The hit writer, producer and actress mulled over the idea for Youth before going on to make Apple TV's Bad Sisters, coming back to it after the dark comedy ended.

The 56-year-old says she was keen to "write about this particular time in a woman's life... through the lens of a mother of a son".

Horgan wanted the story to be "post-divorce and "menopause adjacent".

"And I wanted it to be a comedy, you know? Because there's a lot that's very funny about our bodies failing!"

But it's not just her comedy chops that have gained her a loyal following - a big factor in Horgan's success over the last 20 years or so is the authenticity she brings to her work.

"I spent a lot of time trying to make it as real and as accurate as possible and trying to put in my faults as a parent and mistakes as a woman, my own sort of anxieties and insecurities," she says.

"I try to put all that in there… and hope that's a universal feeling because it's really madly important to me that women, especially, watch it and see themselves reflected back."

She says that Youth "felt like the next stage on" from her popular sitcom Catastrophe.

The series, which first aired in 2015 on Channel 4, followed the lives of 40-somethings Sharon and Rob (played by Horgan and Rob Delaney), a couple who got together suddenly after their brief transatlantic fling resulted in pregnancy.

"This [show] feels part of the same trajectory, almost, which was fun and really helpful when it came to trying to figure out what the tone was, although I hope it's kind of doing its own thing," Hogan explains.

Sitting on a bench dedicated to her memory, Maddy Cusack's sister and cousin fondly remember her as their sunshine and someone with a real sense of fun.

Olivia Cusack says her big sister was the person "I looked up to my whole life", while for Emily Reilly, her cousin Maddy's the one who "used to get us in trouble with my dad".

But as they come to remember the former Sheffield United footballer on the third anniversary of her death, they're still waiting for answers.

An inquest examining what happened to Maddy Cusack, who was 27 when she was found unconscious at her home in Derbyshire, started in June and should've finished in July.

But it has been paused for months while her former club Sheffield United looks for documents linked to her medical records.

It means her family will have to wait until at least December to hear more evidence, a wait Olivia describes as "extremely overwhelming".

"It is very emotional and you can find yourself frustrated at times," she tells BBC Newsbeat.

"They're very difficult days."

The Manchester United Muslim Supporters group says club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe "must go" after he spoke out against immigration levels and said the country was "on the slide".

Billionaire Ratcliffe, who is one of Britain's richest people and founder of petrochemical giant Ineos, made the comments in an interview with the BBC on Saturday.

Ratcliffe said the UK was in decline because of a combination of high taxes and high immigration.

He has previously apologised for "offending some people" with his language after saying the UK had been "colonised by immigrants".

At the time, in February, United responded by saying the club "prides itself" on being "inclusive", while BBC Sport cited a source familiar with the Glazer family as understanding the club's majority shareholders were "horrified" by his initial remarks and saw them as showing "disregard for their ownership".

"We condemned those comments then," said the Manchester United Muslim Supporters Club (MUMSC) on Saturday, in a statement of no confidence in the club's ownership.

"He [Ratcliffe] subsequently apologised for his choice of language. We hoped a lesson had been learned. Clearly, it has not.

"This week, Sir Jim has again placed immigration and people receiving benefits at the centre of his explanation for Britain's problems, arguing that nobody is 'tough enough' to deal with either.

"We find these latest comments deeply disappointing and completely unacceptable."

Ratcliffe campaigned for a Leave vote in the 2016 European Union referendum and has been a tax resident in Monaco since 2020.

He acquired a 27.7% stake in Man Utd in 2024, and has since restructured the organisation, overseeing 450 redundancies, overhauling senior management and sacking two managers.

MUMSC highlighted that United's "players, staff, stewards, security teams and supporters come from different countries, cultures, ethnicities, religions and backgrounds".

The group added: "Manchester United would not be Manchester United without them. That diversity isn't a weakness of Manchester United. It is part of Manchester United."

In the statement, the MUMSC also called on the Glazer family to go.

MUMSC said its members were among the club's fans who hoped Ratcliffe's arrival "would finally signal meaningful change" after the Glazer family had "presided over Manchester United's decline".

However, the group pointed to "higher ticket prices" and "a stadium allowed to deteriorate", along with "a football team that continues to fall further behind where Manchester United should be", among their concerns which "now extend beyond the pitch".

Manchester United entered the weekend sitting 13th in the Premier League after gaining four points from their first four Premier League games, and they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday with a 3-2 home defeat by Brighton.

"After years of decline, broken promises and repeated failure, Manchester United Muslim Supporters' Club has lost confidence in the current ownership structure of Manchester United Football Club," MUMSC concluded.

"Enough is enough. It is time for change. The Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe must go."
