Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has appeared in court after being charged over possession of child sex abuse material.

Markle was arrested on a federal complaint alleging he held images that show child sex abuse, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) said.

The 82-year-old was arrested in Florida after the FBI searched two Los Angeles-area storage units he rented for almost 20 years.

He is charged with one count of possessing indecent images of children, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) said. Markle has previously denied allegations of possessing images of child sex abuse, calling them "sick lies".

Markle's court hearing lasted for 30 minutes, and the charges were laid out against him by federal prosecutor Courtenay Derry, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News.

He was brought into court a wheelchair, escorted by two US Marshals. Markle was wearing black trousers and a black t-shirt.

The court ordered Markle to submit to home detention at his assisted living facility in Florida and electronic monitoring.

No plea was taken during the hearing, and an arraignment date in California will be determined in due course, a joint statement from the DoJ and the US Attorney's Office Central California said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not commented on Markle's arrest.

FBI director Kash Patel said authorities "moved quickly" when arresting Markle.

"Mr Markle allegedly targeted innocent children and sought to steal their innocence through his criminal actions," Patel said.

He added that the FBI would "use every single resource at our disposal to protect innocent kids – any predator who targets children will have zero safe haven in this country or anywhere they try to hide".

Markle was arrested after the FBI, acting on warrants, searched storage units in LA registered to him which he had rented since 2008, with the last payment being made in October this year.

Inside the units the FBI says agents seized about 78 items, including film negatives, slides and books that they allege contained child sex abuse material.

Russell Brand's defence barrister has referred himself to the regulator after reports that he confronted a Sunday Times journalist who was involved in a media investigation into Brand in 2023.

In a Times and Sunday Times podcast on Thursday, Rosamund Urwin said she introduced herself to Ian Winter KC outside court after verdicts were delivered.

She claimed he responded with a "snarl" and said "I hope you're pleased with yourself".

"Apparently I said, but I can't actually remember this but I've read it in reporting, 'I am pleased that justice has been done'", Urwin said.

She said that Winter replied "it wasn't" and suggested she was to blame using a profanity.

In a statement, Winter said the "ways matters have been characterised" in the media meant they should be "subject to proper scrutiny".

On Friday, Winter said he considered his professional duty required him to self-report the allegations to the Bar Standards Board.

The Bar Standards Board regulates barristers in England and Wales in the public interest.

In a statement, Winter said: "Having seen the ways matters have been characterised in today's press I consider my professional duty requires me to self-report those allegations to the Bar Standards Board, so the matter can be subject to proper scrutiny. I have made such a report."

Four women variously accused Brand of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse in a joint investigation by Channel 4 Dispatches and the Times and Sunday Times in September 2023.

The actor and comedian denied the allegations.

One of Trump's closest aides, Miller, 41, stuck by the president following his 2020 election defeat and followed Trump back into power last year.

On X, Miller called Trump "the most transformative political leader in American History" who has "single-handedly saved America from those who would destroy it".

He thanked Wiles for her years of devoted service to the president, country and for her friendship.

"The mission now is more clear than ever: Fight with all of our soul to support our President and defend this magnificent Republic," he wrote.

Wiles gave her resignation to Trump on Thursday night, a US official told CBS News, the BBC's media partner. Three sources told CBS she quit because of the election losses.

Trump said in a statement that Wiles would be moved to the "Trump Political Operation". He told reporters that Miller "gets it, very good politically".

Wiles said being on Trump's team was "the honor of a lifetime".

"I'm so proud to have been a part of what we've accomplished together," she said.

"While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will," she added.

It was unclear if her deputies would remain at the White House.

Wiles, 69, is seen as among the most powerful figures in the Trump administration and someone particularly close to the US president.

Asked last month whether Wiles could be replaced soon, Trump said there was "zero chance".

"Susie is here and she's gonna be here for a long time," he said.

Wiles recently had cancer, announcing in September, six months after her diagnosis, that she was in remission.

While no link has been established between the threats against airlines and media outlets, the Irish government has warned it is a "likely coordinated campaign of disruption".

In a statement, it said: "Hoax threats such as these cause fear, distress and disruption to people going about their daily lives and activities; they achieve no positive purpose whatsoever. It is not known yet who is responsible for these threats, whether it is individuals or a centralised or co-ordinated effort.

Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin described the situation as "worrying" and added his government's first priority was the safety of the Irish public.

"Yesterday, there appeared to be coordinated efforts to disrupt air travel," he said.

Martin told RTÉ it was not yet known if the threats had come from individuals or if it was a "coordinated attack" but said they were being taken seriously.

Ireland is scheduled to host two high-profile European Union meetings in Dublin next week.

Broadcaster Sky confirmed it had received a security threat, hours after RTÉ had evacuated its building.

The broadcaster, which is owned by Comcast, said in a statement read by a presenter on its news channel that the broadcaster had "carried out a security assessment and reported the matter to the relevant authorities".

"The safety and security of our colleagues is our primary concern, and we are working closely with authorities to ensure our people and operations remain secure."

Friday's disruption comes after the Russian extremist group "Male State", named in this week's hoax bomb threats to Italian airports, denied any link to the false warnings.

Replying to the BBC Russian Service, an account on Telegram - one of several linked to the so-called "Male State" and its founder Vladislav Pozdnyakov - mocked any suggestion the group was involved in emailing the threats.

"What Male State? Where have you seen it? It hasn't existed for many years," the message on the channel reads. "If tomorrow they sign a [threat] letter, say, from Putin, will you then try to reach our president to ask your stupid question?"

The Duke of Sussex and five other high-profile figures who lost a privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday are seeking to challenge the High Court ruling.

Prince Harry, singer Sir Elton John and actress Elizabeth Hurley were among the group facing paying joint legal costs of up to £34.5m after the court ruled in July they had failed to prove the allegations of unlawful information gathering.

Associated Newspapers Limited strongly denied the claims, which were heard at an 11-week trial in London that ended with judge Mr Justice Nicklin dismissing all the allegations.

At the time, a spokesperson for the publisher described the judgement as an "overwhelming victory for the Daily Mail and its journalists".

The prince testified in person during the civil hearing and claimed the details that appeared in 14 articles about him "plainly" proved journalists were listening in to phone calls - but a High Court judge said he had failed to prove that.

On Friday, a spokesperson for Prince Harry, Hurley, Sir Elton, his husband David Furnish, actress Sadie Frost and political campaigner Baroness Lawrence said the claimants had filed applications with the Court of Appeal applying for permission to challenge the judgements.

The statement said the planned appeal was both on Mr Justice Nicklin's dismissal of their claims and a subsequent indemnity costs order.

The spokesperson said: "The claimants respectfully disagree with those unprecedented decisions, which they consider to be legally and factually flawed."

In August, a month on from his judgement, Mr Justice Nicklin ruled that the case was a rare one in which the claimants should have to pay far in excess of the costs that had been agreed before the trial.

He also ordered at that time the claimants should make an initial payment of £9.54m while the final total was calculated.

The statement from the group's joint spokesperson did not make any reference to Liberal Democrat politician Sir Simon Hughes who was part of the action. The BBC has contacted Sir Simon to establish whether he is joining the appeal.

After the costs ruling, he told the BBC he was "disappointed" and would take "the time necessary to consider both the substantive and the costs judgment and whether to pursue appeals against decisions in either judgment or both".

The trial saw many current and former Mail and Mail on Sunday journalists and executives giving evidence denying accusations of illegal activity that was put to them by lawyers representing the prince and his fellow claimants.

Lawyers for the publisher said in court that the journalists had provided a "compelling account of a pattern of legitimate sourcing of articles", including using information provided by friends and "leaky" social circles surrounding those they had written about.

In a civil case such as this, the legal convention is that the losing party must reimburse "reasonable" legal fees incurred by the other side. They also have to settle their own legal costs.

A six-year-old boy who was critically injured in a suspected arson attack at his family home in County Waterford has died.

Elliot English died on Friday at Children's Health Ireland (CHI) hospital in Crumlin in Dublin.

His parents, Kim English and Philip English, and two of his siblings, 12-year-old Callum and nine-year-old Jayden, died in the house fire on Birch Avenue, on the outskirts of Waterford on 13 October.

Another child, who was also critically injured in the attack, remains in hospital.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said production of the firm's Cybertruck is "winding down" in Texas, to focus on its self-driving Cybercab cars.

The model is only produced at Tesla's Austin base, and he did not clarify if manufacturing would be moved elsewhere or simply cease.

The Cybertruck has received a mixed response since its launch in 2023, with some praising its individuality and others simply labelling it ugly.

It has also suffered from disappointing sales, quality problems and recalls.

BBC technology reporter Shiona McCallum has this report.

More on this story.

Police described both suspects as white males. One is aged in his late teens to early 20s, of a medium to large build, and about 6ft tall. He was wearing white sliders at the time of the incident.

The other suspect is described as being about 5ft 5ins tall, of slim build and wearing black clothing.

St Peter's High School pupil Jimmy said the situation was "really scary" and he was still in shock.

After getting into the Tuffley school for the day, he said his friends came in and told him something had happened near his home.

He said the school's alarm then went off and the computer he was on displayed a message saying "This is a lockdown".

"The computers are not accessible at all and we've all had to turn the lights off, lock the doors, turn all the blinds down, and we've had to get on the ground," he said.

"At the time I was scared. My heart was racing," he added.

Jimmy said pupils were locked in their classrooms for two to three hours.

"[When police cars arrived] I thought this is getting serious, I'm getting worried, I don't know what's going on," he said.

The 15-year-old said he was able to message his mother when the school let students use their phones after about an hour.

"When I was able to eventually get out, she was giving me a bunch of hugs," he said.

"What I am is shocked. I'm surprised that this happened," he added.

Jimmy said the school had previously run lockdown drills but a real event had never happened before.

Shares in artificial intelligence and technology firms have recovered slightly from an enormous sell-off that wiped trillions of dollars off stock values.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq stock index closed in positive territory following a market rout that began in the US on Thursday before spilling over to Asian and European markets into Friday.

Investors had been selling off tech shares in part due to concerns the Democrat victory in the midterm elections would mean slower artificial intelligence development.

However the latest US employment figures added to a mixed picture for American markets on Friday morning, with an unexpectedly strong 165,000 jobs added to the economy in September.

On Thursday, businesses closely linked to artificial intelligence development took a hammering on stock markets, particularly chip and semiconductor makers.

But the Nasdaq Composite bounced back slightly on Friday, ending the day up 1.1%, partly reversing some of its 5.5% fall.

The S&P 500, which tracks the share prices of the largest publicly-traded US companies, closed up 0.3%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was flat through the day before ending slightly down 0.4%.

Companies that lost hundreds of billions in market value recovered some ground on Friday, including Nvidia, SpaceX and Tesla.

However, stock markets in Asia and Europe fared worse.

The Kospi in South Korea closed down 6% on Friday, with shares in chipmaker SK Hynix plunging more than 10%. European markets also fell, with the main indexes in Germany, France and Spain ending the day down.

In the UK, the FTSE 100, which tracks the largest companies on the London Stock Exchange, declined 1.01%.

In addition to the recent market volatility, UK traders were also digesting the latest Bank of England decision to raise interest rates and the signal that another rate rise could be on the cards to curb rising prices.

European Union prosecutors have begun investigating the possible misuse of EU funds meant for upgrading the Spanish railway line where a train crash killed 69 people last week.

Prosecutors backed by a special unit of Spain's Guardia Civil security force said they were conducting the inquiry at the offices of Adif rail infrastructure authority and rail safety agency AESF.

The 28 October accident on the Madrid-Seville high-speed line was one of the worst railway disasters in Europe this century.

It is the second EU fraud inquiry opened into Spain's railways this year, after 46 people were killed on the same line at Adamuz in January.

Last week, a train operated by state-owned operator Renfe ploughed into the back of a stationary train belonging to private Spanish company Iryo outside the village of Urda, around 130km (80 miles) south of Madrid.

The LZB communication system that monitors the position of trains had gone down, and the Renfe train had been given the all clear to start running at normal speed, even though the Iryo train ahead of it had been unable to restart.

The two accidents nine months apart on the same line have claimed 115 lives and dozens more injuries.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said Russell Brand has rightly been held to account for his "horrific" crimes and sought to explain Labour's previous association with the comedian.

Some within the Labour Party attempted to court Brand's support more than a decade ago, before police began investigating him - and in 2014 Burnham posted a supportive message on social media when the comedian was facing media criticism about his housing arrangements.

Asked about the 2014 tweet on Friday, Burnham said: "It's not always the case that people know everything about people in public life."

Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault on Thursday.

In 2014, Brand was writing regular opinion pieces for newspapers and appearing on political discussion programmes, including the BBC's Question Time.

His anti-establishment and left-wing views had also gained him a following on social media.

The same year, Burnham, then the shadow health secretary, posted on Twitter in support of Brand following allegations about the comedian's housing arrangements.

It is not clear what Burnham had been referring to in his 2014 tweet, but the previous day, The Sun claimed Brand had paid rent at a property owned by a landlord in a tax haven, while at the same time campaigning against tax avoidance.

Brand threatened to sue the newspaper and said he would give the money to victims of the Hillsborough disaster, a group Burnham has long campaigned for.

At the time, Burnham said it was "depressing to see media mission to discredit someone who stops playing their game" and urged Brand to "keep going".

Asked about that social media post on Friday, Burnham told the BBC "all I can say is I had no idea of the full extent of what he was doing or what he went on to do".

The PM added: "His [Brand's] crimes are horrific, he's rightly been held to account, justice for the victims and that is the right course that's been taken here.

"It's not always the case that people know everything about people in public life, but what is important is that where there is wrongdoing it is exposed."

The prime minister added: "Credit to the victims, huge credit, the courage that it's taken, but also the journalists who've exposed this."

Ed Miliband, then the Labour leader, was interviewed by Brand in the run-up to the 2015 general election.

Brand, who had previously dismissed the idea of voting, backed Labour following the interview, saying Miliband had convinced him that "this bloke will listen to us".

Miliband, who is now foreign secretary, has previously said he regrets being interviewed by Brand.

On Friday, a spokesman for Miliband told the BBC: "These are horrific crimes that Russell Brand has been found guilty of and Ed's profound sympathy is with the victims.

"As he said in 2023, 'of course, knowing what I know now - and I was not aware of these allegations at the time about Russell Brand - I wouldn't have done that interview and I regret doing it'."

Brand was found not guilty of two other counts of rape, and one count of attempted indecent assault.

During a four-week trial, Brand faced allegations from six women spanning the decade between 1999 and 2009.

The 51-year-old was refused bail and will spend the weekend in custody before he is due to return to court on Monday for sentencing.

It may be a surprise to some but Jobe Bellingham's call-up to the England senior side has been a long time coming.

The 21-year-old's career path has been very similar to that of his 23-year-old brother Jude - England's star player at the World Cup and one of Real Madrid's best players. Both were stars of the Birmingham City academy before big-money moves to the German Bundesliga and England call-ups.

Jobe's debut for Birmingham came at the age of 16 years and 107 days - 69 days older than Jude when he made his first appearance for the Blues' senior side.

The central midfielder then moved to Sunderland and helped them win promotion to the Premier League before joining German side Borussia Dortmund at the age of 19 in a deal worth up to £31m.

Jude also moved to Dortmund when he was 17, before developing into one of the world's best players and joining Real Madrid.

Having one of the best midfielders in the world as your older brother comes with challenges and Jobe has consistently been compared to his sibling.

But the former Sunderland midfielder is his own player, wearing 'Jobe' on the back of his shirt instead of his family name. He said it was suggested to him by a former coach because "it shows that I'm going my own way".

England manager Thomas Tuchel told BBC Radio 5 Live it is "a beautiful story".

"They are both good for each other," he added. "My understanding is they are very close.

"It makes life easier for Jobe to come into camp and know his brother is one of the key players in our team. So, that will hopefully help him, but don't forget he is here on his own merits, and he is not here because of his brother."

Jobe is a different type of player to Jude, sitting deeper in the midfield, but is as physically imposing while still being good on the ball.

He is the current captain of the England Under-21 side, and Tuchel said Young Lions head coach Lee Carsley had been pushing for some time for the younger Bellingham to get senior recognition.

"He's the standout player," said Tuchel. "He's the captain, so the door should always be open for the pathway, always be open for special performances over a long period of time.

"That's what Jobe has done on top of it. He found his way, he found his rhythm with Dortmund. He's had an excellent start to his season, is a regular starter and influential."

A passenger stabbed multiple times by a knifeman accused of trying to kill 10 people on a train has told jurors he thought "this is what it feels like to die".

Scott Bletcher was on the York to London King's Cross LNER service on 1 November last year when the attacks happened, leading to an unscheduled stop in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

On Friday, Cambridge Crown Court also heard from staff member Samir Zitouni, who said he fought back using a frying pan, stating he did not want to "give up until the train stopped".

Anthony Williams, 33, of Langford Road, Peterborough, denies 10 counts of attempted murder.

He is also charged with four other alleged attempted murders following earlier incidents in Peterborough and London.

Bletcher said he was travelling alone after doing Christmas shopping in Newark-on-Trent, in Nottinghamshire, and was "quite looking forward to the tapas I'd bought actually".

After Peterborough he noticed people running down the aisle, but he remained seated because he was "still not concerned", presuming there had been a disagreement.

He then saw a knife being held in front of him at eye level and said he felt "trapped… there is no way of escape", followed by a "scratch" to the head from the knife.

Bletcher said he moved his arm to shield his face and added: "There was nothing said to me and I didn't respond because there was nothing to respond to."

The court heard the victim - who is the first to give live evidence at the trial - was stabbed five more times.

Ballots are still being counted in the US midterm elections but the political landscape is already pivoting to the 2028 White House race.

Buoyed by major gains in Congress, Democrats will have momentum as they prepare for the contest to succeed President Donald Trump.

But a good showing in the midterms does not guarantee a White House win two years later. Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012 despite huge Republican gains in 2010.

No one has yet entered the presidential race but potential candidates will be preparing behind the scenes.

Vice-President's JD Vance's reflection on where the midterms went wrong for Republicans has been interpreted as him paving the way for a 2028 run.

The results of Tuesday's election and the historic size of Democratic gains could shape the White House race in several ways. Here are four takeaways.

All this poses a serious challenge to the airlines, who have little idea who is causing the severe disruption they have faced almost every day this week.

Although so far all threats have turned out to be hoaxes, airlines have no choice but take each threat seriously.

"They have a triage system, but follow the same protocols for each until they are absolutely sure there is no threat," says Marco Chan, a former commercial airline pilot and aviation expert at Kingston University.

"That could involve a mid-air inspection, but definitely a search once the plane has landed.

"Passengers might not even know there is an issue until they are told to disembark. It can cause disruption, but that is a small price to pay when safety is at stake", he adds.

The sight of sniffer dogs and specialist teams on the tarmac searching for explosives on commercial planes may cause alarm.

So far, the disruption too has been limited to the few thousand passengers who have been directly involved.

Paul Mason, an aviation security expert, says there will be a financial cost to the airline involved, but planes get diverted every day.

"The number can sometimes run to over a hundred planes daily, for things like technical issues, medical emergencies, even the weather," he adds. "They far outweigh the few which have been diverted due to hoaxes. So airlines are well equipped at dealing with the unexpected."

It is also unlikely that customers will be able to get refunds, he explains, because these incidents are not the fault of the airlines.

Khawaja, who scored 6,229 runs in 88 Tests, said that discussions about tampering with the ball began during the second Test of the series against South Africa.

That match, played at Port Elizabeth - now Gqeberha - led to what Khawaja said was the "discovery of sandpaper as an effective agent" after "open" discussions held in the dressing room at St George's Park.

"At this point Smith essentially threw his hands in the air and said he didn't want to know," Khawaja wrote.

Khawaja was also shocked not to be asked to provide any evidence during Cricket Australia's investigation.

"In an ideal world, I don't want to do this. I don't want to be the one who comes out and talks about the truth," he said.

"The issue is that I genuinely thought after eight years the truth would have been out by now."

While Smith, Warner and Bancroft - all batters - were punished, there was never an explanation of how bowlers Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood and Lyon did not notice a change in the state of the ball.

In a 2021 interview with the Guardian, Bancroft was asked if the bowlers knew and replied: "It's pretty probably self-explanatory."

Days after Bancroft's interview was published, the quartet released their statement which said: "We feel compelled to put the key facts on the record again.

"We did not know a foreign substance was taken on to the field to alter the condition of the ball until we saw the images on the big screen at Newlands.

"And to those who, despite the absence of evidence, insist that 'we must have known' about the use of a foreign substance simply because we are bowlers, we say this: The umpires during that Test match, Nigel Llong and Richard Illingworth, both very respected and experienced umpires, inspected the ball after the images surfaced on the TV coverage and did not change it because there was no sign of damage.

"We respectfully request an end to the rumour-mongering and innuendo. It has gone on too long and it is time to move on."

Chief among them is the tension between Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc after they contrived to throw away a potential one-two finish in Mexico last Sunday by tangling on the first lap.

After that race, Hamilton said the team had "big problems" and needed "serious talks".

Those happened on Thursday evening, after Leclerc and team principal Frederic Vasseur arrived back in Brazil having returned to Europe between races.

Vasseur said on Friday: "It went well. It was good to discuss. It was good to clarify our positions and now we turn the page.

"The guidelines are still the same. They need to respect each other. They are competitive with fighting spirit but they need to respect the other one and the brand and the people working back home and on track.

"The message was clear and will stay clear. Overall it is true that they are working for the team and the team has to come first. It's clear we failed and we have to react but the meeting was a clear reminder that Ferrari comes first."

The magnitude of this situation is obvious, as is the difficulty in finding a solution, and the potential for further trouble down the line.

Hamilton has been especially outspoken on this topic.

The seven-time champion has drawn a contrast between the way Leclerc races him and the way he approaches other drivers, pointing to him ceding to Max Verstappen when they were racing side by side to the first corner in Singapore, compared with how he dealt with Hamilton in Mexico City.

"We could have easily had a one-two and so we definitely have to work towards making sure that doesn't happen again," Hamilton said, adding that he thought this was a theme between Leclerc and his team-mates that he had also seen with his predecessors Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sainz.

He also said: "Of course, there's some times you say things and maybe you might regret it afterwards, but I don't.

"I've never apologised for being authentic and real. And I'm not going to be silenced. I have not been asked to not say anything. And that's just the way it is.

"I wear my heart on my sleeve and I say how I feel in the moment."

From Vasseur's point of view, this is a problem that really needs to be solved because if Ferrari can keep hold of the chassis advantage they have had this year and bring their engine up to the level of Mercedes and Red Bull, they could be title contenders next year.

Hamilton said: "Naturally, it's not so easy having someone like me come into a team because I'm very outspoken and I push and push and push, push for so many changes and I'm going to be pushing for more.

"As long as I'm here, that's how it's going to be. I'm here to win. And to be able to win, you have to work with everyone around you.

"I truly believe that this team can be fighting for the championship next year.

"I'm in the process of working with the head of aero, the head of aerodynamics to make sure that we hold on to the goodness of the car we have this year and fix some of the small, subtle things that could be better.

"And obviously, the power-unit, they're doing their thing and I really hope that they're able to pull through."

Pegula was also heard saying French Open champion Andreeva "needs to be humbled" and her coach Conchita Martinez encourages her behaviour.

A representative for Pegula said she had been in direct contact with those involved and had been "completely unaware" the conversation could be heard by courtside microphones.

None of the players were asked about the incident in the pre-tournament news conference at Indian Wells on Friday, but Pegula did address it in an interview with ESPN.

"I think it's something that we have fought a lot over the last couple years as there's a lot more surveillance and audio and access to the players at tournaments than there has been in the past," she said., external

"I know for broadcasting that it's great for fans, but I think we've seen a couple incidents now throughout the year, [the] last couple of years really, where it just seems highly unnecessary.

"I think [this will] definitely reignite the topic and, hopefully, we can unfortunately use this incident to keep pushing for more player privacy."

Pegula's compatriot Coco Gauff called for more privacy after she was captured in the players' area smashing a racquet following a defeat by Elina Svitolina in the Australian Open quarter-finals in January.

At the same major, six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek said players were being watched "like animals in the zoo" by behind-the-scenes cameras.

YouTube streams of Wednesday's practice sessions at Indian Wells have since been removed by the WTA, but the footage had already been shared on social media.

Referring to the incident in California, where the season-ending WTA Finals are being held, Camillo added: "The WTA is sensitive to player privacy and has policies and procedures in place to balance players' needs for safe spaces with opportunities to bring fans closer to the game.

"There was a lack of advanced notice and clear signage to assist players about the recording equipment operating in the area."

Palmer was offered reassuring words of sorts by Tuchel, but his predicament is now clear. He has allowed others to form an orderly queue in front of him in England's pecking order. They are now Tuchel's priority, not Palmer.

Tuchel said: "We have enough number 10s and we stick to the guys who were in the previous camp, because we were happy with the two and a half weeks we had together.

"I guess everyone is desperate to play with England and Cole is the same. He misses too many opportunities to impress. It was a long camp but the players in that camp brought something extraordinary."

"It's not personal. We will never assume Cole is in the mindset never to come to the camp, but we stick to the guys who were in camp last time. It was excellent. The impact of all the players was immense. We have Josh King as a new player, who can play as a 10 and on both wings."

He added: "Cole is always in our mindset but the competition is on."

There may be additional pain, and perhaps a measure of puzzlement, for Palmer in that Tuchel has not just decided to stick with the players from the last camp - calling up Fulham's King and, the major incoming surprise, 21-year-old Jobe Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund.

Palmer said he had played for Chelsea with "discomfort and pain" before the last round of England fixtures, which included a 3-2 loss to Spain at Wembley, a win away to the Czech Republic, a Wembley victory in that return fixture and a 7-0 rout of Croatia in Rijeka.

And Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has also insisted Palmer was "struggling" in Chelsea's 3-0 defeat at Brentford before the international break.

It is believed Palmer's desire to play for England remains as strong as ever, with the fact that his state of fitness was checked out before Tuchel named his squad taken as a sign he remains in his thoughts.

Alonso confirmed England had made checks on Palmer, adding: "When a player is fully fit he is selectable. When he is not fit we give the national team the reasonable information to decide together. Sometimes it's not good for the player."

Chelsea's boss said he has not spoken to Palmer about his England exclusion and has no doubts about his character, although the pair had talks about his recent sending off in the 2-0 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

He said: "We have not talked about England. We are focused on Chelsea things, how to help him, how he can become more and more influential. These are our topics to talk.

"We speak about Chelsea. We have enough on our plate. My impact area is my control area and what we talk about.

"I am very happy with his quality, with his attitude and the impact he is having with the rest of the team."

The questions, however, remain.

Even before Palmer withdrew last time out, Tuchel had previously said he had a "point to prove" and needed "to step up" to "keep his shirt and justify the nomination".

Is Tuchel convinced Palmer has the motivation to play for England? Does his "trust" lie elsewhere?

He certainly has options in the position Palmer would occupy, with Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham his world class "number 10" and another Chelsea player, Morgan Rogers, an outstanding alternative.

Morgan Gibbs-White, Eberechi Eze and now 19-year-old King, who has won his first England senior call-up, have been selected ahead of Palmer, with Everton's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also given a glowing reference from Tuchel, despite not making the squad.

In the aftermath of the Republican Party's sweeping defeat in Tuesday's midterm elections, Donald Trump said he would be willing to work with the newly ascendent Democrats in Congress.

On Friday, however, he elevated Stephen Miller, his bare-knuckled political operative and longtime adviser, to replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff.

Far from an olive branch to Congress, Miller's promotion could be a sign that the president is girding for political battle by installing a partisan firebrand in the top White House job.

"The mission now is more clear than ever: Fight with all of our soul to support our president and defend this magnificent republic," Miller posted on X, adding that he was "honored beyond words" to be Trump's pick for the job.

One of the most powerful positions in Washington, the chief of staff is gatekeeper to the president, agenda-setter in the White House and chief negotiator with Congress and other outside political interests.

"Stephen Miller's been with me since the beginning," Trump said in comments to reporters after announcing the move on his Truth Social website. "He gets it."

Two people have been arrested after armed police responded to an incident in which a car was hit by gunshots.

South Wales Police said a vehicle on the A48 in Morriston, Swansea, sustained damage "consistent with a firearms discharge" on Friday.

A 41-year-old man from Llansamlet, Swansea, had been arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life, while a 16-year-old boy, also from Llansamlet, had been arrested on suspicion of affray.

The force said officers were still investigating and that it had been declared a critical incident.

Residents have been told to avoid the area and events, including a local firework display, have been cancelled.

Video circulating online shows police officers next to a stationary car that appears to have been struck by a shotgun blast on Clase Road near an Asda superstore.

A National Police Air Service helicopter was circling the area but has since returned to base.

South Wales Police said the incident was ongoing, with road closures in place.

Ch Supt Stephen Jones said: "A policing presence will be visible in the area whilst this investigation is ongoing."

"It is important that people avoid the area so we can effectively deal with this incident and return the area to normality."

The local football club, Morriston Town AFC, cancelled a planned firework display on Friday.

"Unfortunately, the police have advised due to an issue ongoing, the event has to be cancelled. With immediate effect," it said in a social media post, advising people to stay at home.

A man has been charged with murder by police investigating the disappearance and suspected murder of Carrie Mullane (Noonan).

Mullane, who is 39, has been missing since she arrived in Enniskillen from Limerick on 10 October 2026.

The 35-year-old man is also charged with preventing the lawful burial of a corpse.

He is due to appear via video link before Dungannon Magistrates' Court on 7 November.

Earlier on Friday, police carried out a number of searches in County Fermanagh, including Lough Erne.

A small boat and a camper van were recovered and taken away for examination.

Cornell University's academic staff have passed a vote of no confidence over its leadership's handling of what staff call a "crisis of sexual assault" after a former student alleged she was gang raped while attending.

The woman, known anonymously as Jane Doe, is suing her former school and the fraternity over an alleged incident involving several men at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024.

All seven of the accused have denied wrongdoing when contacted by the BBC's US partner CBS. None has been charged with a crime.

Friday's no confidence vote passed by 75 votes to 50. It is largely symbolic because the faculty senate does not have the power to remove leaders.

The resolution states that the faculty senate, which represents academic staff, "has no confidence in the ability of the central administration to effectively address the ongoing crisis of sexual assault at Cornell University".

It did not make any specific recommendations or suggest what administrators did wrong in response to the accusation.

It is a rebuke of university leaders including President Michael Kotlikoff, whom Doe has accused of asking why she waited several weeks to report the incident.

The Ivy League institution in upstate New York has said her account of Kotlikoff's reaction is "incorrect".

Doe's lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, responded to the vote's outcome in a statement, saying: "We recently learned that Cornell's Faculty Senate made a finding of no confidence in the Central Administration's ability to address the longstanding crisis of sexual assault at Cornell.

"We believe that the Faculty Senate did not reach this decision lightly and considered all available information."

Giuffra added: "We are hopeful that this will be yet another step forward to educate and support the Cornell community by addressing the longstanding scourge of sexual assault on campus."

Backlash against Cornell has been intense since Doe filed her lawsuit in September. She reported the alleged assault to campus police after it happened but the local prosecutor declined to bring charges at the time.

Cornell, after initially defending its disciplinary measures, has acknowledged it fell short in its handling of her case and has hired a former attorney general to conduct an independent review of the case. It also recently announced a series of measures due assault, including cancelling fraternity parties.

New York state prosecutors, led by Attorney General Letitia James, are carrying out their own investigation to decide if criminal charges are warranted.

Earlier this week, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that state police would investigate any future sexual offence complaints at the university.

Coventry boss Frank Lampard questioned why his sides were not given a penalty after a trio of decisions went against them in defeat at Everton.

Thierno Barry's double and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's late goal helped the hosts come from behind to win 3-1 on Friday.

Yann Gboho gave Coventry the lead after the break, yet the visitors felt they should have had a first-half spot-kick.

James Tarkowski tugged Caleb Yirenkyi's hair while jumping for a ball, with referee Stuart Attwell dismissing the Sky Blues' claims.

The rules have been relaxed around hair pulling this season and it does not automatically mean a foul or a red card, with excessive force also being taken into consideration, but former Everton boss Lampard felt the officials got it wrong.

He said: "They're saying it's not enough of a pull and I think it's a hard area to be in. What is a hair pull? You've decided it is but it's not enough.

"I have looked at them, sometimes with emotions in the moment you can't be clear on the sidelines.

"I think the rules are fine. It's not a red card. I kind of get that because I think in a game of football there's a lot of stuff happens that's not absolutely dramatic.

"You know they can happen but I think if the the rule remains that it's a foul so I felt it was a foul."

Lampard also felt Taiwo Awoniyi was fouled by Vitalii Mykolenko before Coventry went ahead, although replays showed it was outside the box, and Barry handled the ball before his second goal - although video assistant referee (VAR) Timothy Wood ruled it was not a handball offence.

"Taiwo for me on the line of the box is a penalty. You've got to give the foul in real time anyway, the ref did let it go, and I felt it was a penalty," Lampard added, with defeat leaving Coventry 16th in the Premier League.

"The Barry one is handball, I've heard they are saying it didn't touch his hand but I've seen an angle where he has flicked it in with the final touch. VAR is there for that.

"I can't sit here and say I know everything and they should give all three of them, if one or two of them don't go our way, but they would clearly change the game."

Everton boss David Moyes denied Barry handled the ball and also felt the hair pulling rule needs addressing.

After his team moved fifth, the Scot said: "We've had plenty [of decisions] which have gone against us. It certainly doesn't hit his hand.

"The hair pull rule has changed so it would be a booking if it was but I still think it's ridiculous that rule is in the game. I can't understand why they don't fix this completely because I don't see it as a good rule at all."

In 2024 and 2025, Ireland opened the autumn with dispiriting defeats by the All Blacks, but Argentina were not able to offer a similarly unforgiving examination here.

But the Pumas, who arrived in Dublin with just one win in six this year, initially silenced the crowd with a beautifully worked try.

Following a patient multi-phase attack, out-half Tomas Albornoz booted to the corner, where Carreras towered above diminutive Ireland scrum-half Craig Casey to claim the ball and score.

Casey was one of the surprise Irish selections, having been picked ahead of long-time Farrell favourite Jamison Gibson-Park. To his credit, Casey shook off his mismatch with Carreras to win the turnover penalty that put Ireland on the front foot for the first time as Argentina quickly lost their early momentum.

From the resulting line-out, Ireland's back three collectively carved Argentina open. The excellent Rob Baloucoune tore through midfield and offloaded to Hansen, who defied pressure from Bautista Delguy to send Keenan through.

Similar to Casey's selection, the inclusion of Nick Timoney ahead of Josh van der Flier was reflective of Farrell's intent to shake things up.

A thoroughly dependable operator, Timoney impressed at open-side flanker in the first half, turning Albornoz over before popping up in a line-out strike play to put Sheehan through for Ireland's second.

With the Argentine set-piece already creaking, the returning Ryan Baird stole a line-out and set Ireland on their way to a third as Hansen found Keenan again for the British and Irish Lions full-back's second.

Already trailing 21-5, Argentina's resolve was severely tested in the closing minutes of the half.

Having lost outside centre Piccardo to a yellow card, captain Montoya failed a head injury assessment (HIA), but when his replacement Leonel Oviedo was also went withdrawn for a HIA, loose-head prop Boris Wenger was forced to fill in at hooker.

Ireland also lost Sheehan to a head knock after he was denied a second try.
