The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) revealed the finding in a statement on Wednesday. The driver, who died at the scene, has been named as 60-year-old Shaun Burton. Mr Burton died when the East Midlands Railway (EMR) train he was driving hit the back of a stationary train run by the same operator. The RAIB said in an interim report that Mr Burton's train proceeded past a red signal near the scene of the crash in Elstow, near Bedford, at 5.15pm on Friday. It said that "it is not yet possible to say what indication the driver received" from automatic warning system (AWS) equipment fitted to the train. Some 162 people were injured in the crash, with 102 needing hospital treatment. Fifty-three remain in hospital, including eight in a critical condition. Images from a CCTV camera on Mr Burton's train show a signal near the scene of the crash "was displaying a red aspect as the train approached and then passed it", the RAIB said.

Its speed had reduced to 49mph by the moment of impact. The stationary train involved in the crash had come to a halt "unexpectedly" after a fault with its AWS equipment caused its brakes to apply, the RAIB statement said. This resulted in the signal behind it automatically switching to red, investigators added. Approaching trains must stop at red signals. The RAIB said its full investigation will consider "the actions of those involved and any factors that may have influenced them". It will also look at the "positioning, visibility and conspicuity" of the signal that Mr Burton passed. Will Rogers, managing director of EMR, said it would be "inappropriate" to comment on "specific findings" or speculate on the circumstances of the crash "before all of the evidence has been examined". While Dave Calfe, general secretary of train drivers' union ASLEF, asked why a train protection and warning system (TPWS) had not been installed where the crash happened. The technology automatically applies a train's brakes when it detects it will be unable to stop before a red signal. "If it had been installed, this accident would not have happened, the driver would not have died, and no passengers would have been injured," Mr Calfe said. Transport secretary Heidi Alexander said her "deepest sympathies" are with everyone affected by the "tragic collision", particularly Mr Burton's family and those who are still in hospital. She continued: "The report makes clear there is still much to establish, and the full investigation will provide the answers and recommendations everyone affected deserves. "Our railway is one of the safest in the world, and while incidents like this are incredibly rare, when they do occur we will leave no stone unturned to understand what happened." No timeline has been given for when the investigation will come to a close. Meanwhile, British Transport Police (BTP) has asked passengers who left items on board the two trains to provide information about them. BTP said it had "carried out extensive searches of the affected trains and recovered a significant amount of passenger property". The items have been moved to an EMR storage facility and passengers are asked to get in touch with their contact information and details of which items they left.

The 45-year-old was convicted of a total of five offences against a number of women between 2004 and 2019. The rape occurred some time between 2018 and 2019. During the trial, the woman told the court Robertson had had sex with her despite her making it clear she was not consenting, and described going "limp" when he was on top of her. Giving evidence during the trial, Robertson said he was "no angel" but denied any wrongdoing. He said he was "aware" of when a woman is consenting, and that he is "sensitive" enough to know about non-verbal communication. However, the jury found him guilty of rape, along with four other charges. Robertson is due to be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on 23 July.

Both Premier League clubs are also keen on Bournemouth's Alex Scott, who is an Arsenal target. Regarding Fernandes, Tottenham are understood to be willing to pay £85m for the Portugal international, who is keen to return to the Premier League following West Ham's relegation.

United are previously understood to have valued the ex-Southampton player at around £60m, but may be prepared to offer more as they watch developments with other clubs closely. The latest on the battle to sign Tonali Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi is being ambitious with his midfield plans this summer. They have already had a bid rejected by Newcastle for Sandro Tonali, worth almost £80m. It remains to be seen if they return with another offer for him - and whether the club are trying to sign both the Italy international and Fernandes, or just one. Manchester City also remain interested in Tonali regardless of their ongoing pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, while Arsenal have looked at the 26-year-old too. Man Utd and Arsenal make Scott enquiries Meanwhile, Man Utd, Arsenal and Tottenham are also keen on Bournemouth midfielder Scott. United and Arsenal are both believed to have made an initial inquiry to Bournemouth, but the Cherries have made it clear they do not want to sell the 22-year-old. Talks have been held about a new contract for the ex-Bristol City player, as the south-coast side hope Scott, who just missed out on the England World Cup squad, will continue under new boss Marco Rose. Nevertheless, Scott remains in the mix of targets at the biggest clubs that want to sign a new midfielder this summer, and it remains to be seen if one of them comes in with a bid.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the 26-year-old victim was found at Nine Ladies Stone Circle in Stanton Lees, Derbyshire, on Monday afternoon. The discovery came after the celebration of the summer solstice, which falls on the longest day of the year, on Sunday. Isaac Clare-Watts, from Nottingham, was pronounced dead at the scene. The 41-year-old man who was arrested remained in custody on Wednesday. Read more from Sky News:Tips for staying cool in heatTucker Carlson on Iran war Detective Inspector Tony Owen from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, who is leading the investigation, appealed for any witnesses who were at the solstice celebration between Friday and Tuesday to come forward. He said: "I am urgently appealing for anyone who attended the summer solstice event over the weekend to please speak to officers as soon as they can. "A young man's life has been taken in the most brutal way so it is vital that myself and the team build up a clear picture of the exact circumstances surrounding his death." The stone circle is traditionally believed to depict nine ladies turned to stone as a penalty for dancing on a Sunday. Det Insp Owen added: "We know that there have been a lot of people in the area of Nine Ladies Stone Circle over the weekend celebrating the summer solstice and this incident will undoubtedly be shocking and distressing to those who were present, as well as the wider community." He also said that there will be increased police numbers at the site over the coming days and urged anyone with information to contact the officers. Nine Ladies Stone Circle is part of a complex of prehistoric circles and standing stones on Stanton Moor. Most of these are thought to date from the Bronze Age, around 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, according to the English Heritage website.

Some outlets previously said they received ransom notes about the case in the days following the disappearance of Ms Guthrie from her home near Tucson, Arizona. Two notes sent to a TV network in the wake of the 84-year-old's disappearance were believed to be potentially credible by investigators. The first note said Ms Guthrie, the mother of Today host Savannah, was safe and demanded cryptocurrency in exchange for her release, whereas the second did not ask for money and was said to be very different from the first. Now Sky's US partner network NBC News has reported that this second note indicated she had died after her disappearance. However, it did not offer an apology or ask payment for the release of her body, according to NBC. According to the note, those who kidnapped her did not mean to kill her, but she died shortly after being taken. The existence of the note was known, but some details including claims she had died, had not previously been released. Tucson TV station KOLD that received two notes agreed to hold off sharing the contents publicly so any future communications with the kidnapper or kidnappers could be authenticated. Jessica Bobula, news director of KOLD, said the station received several notes after Ms Guthrie disappeared and the station told authorities and shared only what the FBI released about the correspondence. Read more from Sky News:Iran war threat to UK powerEx-Wimbledon champion banned Ms Guthrie was reported missing from her home on 1 February and was last seen at the property at around 9.45pm the previous evening. Police believe she was kidnapped or "otherwise taken against her will" after finding blood near her front doorstep. The FBI released surveillance videos of a masked man outside Guthrie's front door on the night she went missing. It has since described the man as a suspect. Volunteers and search teams scoured the nearby desert terrain filled with cactuses, bushes and boulders in the weeks after she vanished. A volunteer group recently conducted a search for her body near the Arizona-Mexico border but didn't report finding her. Investigators involved in the case examined the two notes following Ms Guthrie's disappearance and believe they could be credible. After the second note was sent, Savannah Guthrie spoke about her mother's possible kidnapping in an Instagram video, and said the family would "pay" for her return. "We received your message and we understand," Savannah Guthrie said, sat beside her brother, Camron, and sister, Annie. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace." "This is very valuable to us, and we will pay," Savannah Guthrie added. Her video did not specify the details of the message she received. The Pima County Sheriff's Department said on Tuesday: "The investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie remains active and ongoing. "The Pima County Sheriff's Department continues to work closely with the FBI as investigators follow up on leads, review information, and pursue the facts surrounding this case." Savannah Guthrie returned to NBC's Today show in April for the first time since her mother's disappearance. The 54-year-old has said she's a changed person since she went missing and that it's difficult to press ahead without knowing what happened to her.

The former mayor of Greater Manchester is all but set to take over from Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister after Wes Streeting, his main leadership rival, dropped his candidacy and rowed in behind Mr Burnham following his by-election victory in Makerfield. He was followed by Darren Jones, a Starmer loyalist, who confirmed to Sky News that he would not throw his hat in the ring to force a leadership contest, despite reports that the prime minister's allies had been encouraging him to. Politics latest: Grooming gang inquiry announces first areas to be investigated One Labour MP told Sky News: "Even where supportive of Andy, CLP [constituency Labour Party] members aren't keen on a coronation and favour a contest so they can see him put through his paces. There is a lot of concern that we haven't seen a plan yet." Another, when asked if their local party members favoured a contest over a coronation, said: "Yes but what will be will be now. There is a general acceptance of a coronation now Darren has said he's not standing." A third Labour MP added: "Most CLPs always want to feel a part of things, understandably - although often times it's the core group of activists rather than every member. "No one wants a dictatorship but so few people actually vote so much of the time." "The party and MPs need to be mindful now of ensuring people realise a coronation isn't a deliberate act if no one else wanted to stand. We don't want to alienate people." They continued: "Perhaps Andy Burnham will do a 'tour' to bring the members with him. I hope he will." Mr Burnham confirmed on Monday that he would stand to replace Sir Keir as Labour leader and prime minister after his victory over Reform in the Makerfield by-election saw him return to the Commons to take up his seat as a new MP. In an interview with Beth Rigby on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Mr Jones said he had decided not to stand because he had received the assurances he was looking for from Mr Burnham regarding his plans for the economy. "Well, look, I was never planning or organising a leadership campaign like some of my colleagues," he said. "I was getting on with the job as chief secretary to the prime minister. "And Andy Burnham is going to be the next prime minister. And if there was a contest of Labour Party members, he would win. "So the question for me is, well, what would the benefit be to the country and to the party of a leadership contest?" He added: "We talked then a lot about what he was thinking on the economy and what my thoughts were on that, and some of the potential ways forward for the new government."

The Royal Marines officer Al Carns told journalists at the Foreign Press Association in London that he had not ruled out standing in a potential contest. Nominations for the Labour leadership open on 9 July and close on 16 July, with a leader to be elected by 1 September if there is a contest. On Tuesday, Downing Street confirmed that Sir Keir held face-to-face talks with Mr Burnham. He has pledged to oversee a "smooth transition" of power following his resignation and has authorised Civil Service access talks to begin for "prospective candidates" for the Labour leadership.

Having kicked off Group L with a thrilling 4-2 victory against Croatia, England returned to earth with a bump six days later as their second group game ended in a draw for the fourth straight tournament. But the result edges them closer to what is all but certain to be a place in the round of 32 and while Merson thinks there is still plenty to work on for Tuchel's side, he is backing them to deliver the further they go in the tournament. Read the Magic Man's England verdict in full below... England 0-0 Ghana - Match report and reactionWorld Cup day-by-day schedule | Latest: World CupFollow our World Cup coverage in the Sky Sports App'Ghana draw a reality check for England' It's back to reality. You can't score four in every game, but you'd expect to break them down in the end. Ghana defended really well but we made it easier for them to do so. That's something for Tuchel to look at, but you're not winning the World Cup in the second game of the tournament. It's better to have those reality checks earlier in the tournament than later on. 'It was subbuteo football' A lot of these second game draws have been against teams who like to sit back. We just find it difficult to break teams down. It's strange, really, because a lot of our players play for the top teams where everyone sits 10 players behind the ball against you. It was Subbuteo football against Ghana. There wasn't a lot of movement. Jude Bellingham was in the pocket and showing for the ball a lot, and there were so many times they didn't pass him the ball. When you watch Lionel Messi, they just play the ball into him wherever he is on the field. He plays one touch football and that touch takes two or three players out of the game. They have to trust Bellingham more and get him the ball. He's a top player and he's getting into really good positions. There's a lot to work on. 'Lack of creativity a concern' I just don't think we have that guile in midfield. Elliot Anderson and Declan Rice are very similar players. They don't spray the ball around the pitch and we haven't got that passer in the team. The lack of creativity is worrying. To have that much of the play and not use it, that will be a concern for Tuchel. You've got to have movement. You've got to make runs off the ball to drag defenders around. The only thing that beats a defence is movement - but credit where it's due, Ghana defended amazingly. Every time we had a chance of scoring, they had three or four players blocking the ball. However, you're looking at Cole Palmer and Phil Foden after a result like this - and that shouldn't be the case. In Tuchel we trust? We need to have trust in the manager. There are always ups and downs. Croatia took us on and got punished, but Ghana were never going to do that. Panama aren't going to take us on. We've got to have more belief. But we didn't take enough chances, and I thought this team was picked to have no fear. I now don't see him resting too many players against Panama with the group still very much on the line. England have to get going again. They need some continuity now after what was a bit of a bump in the road and that means they won't want to be disrupted by five or six changes. They will not want another sloppy performance and will want to go into the last 32 off the back of a confident performance.
