Two 15-year-old boys were given youth rehabilitation orders (YRO) and put on a supervision and surveillance programme by a judge last week. They raped the girls in separate attacks in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in November 2024 and January 2025. Footage was also shared on social media. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said it was "clearly the right outcome" as he confirmed the attorney general had decided to refer the case to the Court of Appeal under the unduly lenient sentence scheme. A third boy, 14, was also given a YRO for encouraging one of the attackers - and for an indecent images offence - over the January attack. His sentence will be reviewed too, although the referral does not automatically mean the sentences will be altered. The Court of Appeal could leave them unchanged if it decides they were within a reasonable range of sentences available to the judge. One of the victims told the BBC the sentences were "like a rock straight in my face" and politicians across the spectrum have raised serious concerns. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch called it a "disgrace", while Reform's Robert Jenrick said the judge had made a "very bad error". In a statement today, Attorney General Richard Hermer KC called it a "horrific case" and said he wanted "to bring closure to the victims and their families". "It is clear to me from their powerful personal statements, that these girls have displayed immense bravery in coming forward," he added. The girl in the first incident, who was 15 at the time, attended sentencing to deliver a victim impact statement. She said: "I was caught off-guard, I never want that to happen again, I will never get that innocence back again." "No one deserves the trauma of being raped," she added. In a statement on her behalf, the other girl described nightmares and struggling to sleep. "I feel ashamed, insecure and uncomfortable in my own body," she said.

He told the boys: "I have to remember that you are not small adults. "I have to think how likely you are to do serious things again and I need to make sure you do not do serious things again in the future." He also said "peer pressure" had played a large part in their actions. The court was told one of the boys had ADHD and "long-standing anxiety", while the other also had an ADHD diagnosis and an IQ in the "bottom 1%". The 14-year-old was described as having "mild cognitive impairment".

Spokesperson Terri Hinte said Rollins died at his home in Woodstock, New York, on Monday. She cited no specific cause of death, but said he had been largely housebound during the last couple of years because of various physical problems. Rollins was one of the last living greats of the bebop era and - along with John Coltrane and Charlie Parker - one of the most influential saxophonists of his time. Born Walter Theodore Rollins in New York City, the musician released more than 60 albums as a band leader. He performed with bands including the Rolling Stones, providing improvisations to ⁠three tracks on their 1981 album Tattoo You. Rollins won two Grammys. His 2001 album This Is What I Do earned him a Grammy award for best jazz instrumental album. He won again in 2006 for best jazz instrumental solo for Why Was I Born?

Rollins continued touring into his 80s until pulmonary fibrosis, a thickening and damaging of the lungs, would eventually force him into retirement. He played his last concert in 2012 and stopped playing altogether in 2014.

We were a little nervous that the 2026 power units might struggle more here than most track layouts this season given so many long straights and less chances to fill the battery, but the teams and drivers are, as expected, quickly adapting and learning how to best use the engine and battery for qualifying, starting the race, restarting after safety cars, and in both attacking and defensive modes. We can do better yet, but meanwhile, we had a lot of feverish wheel-to-wheel racing, plenty of overtaking where the drivers had to finish the move off on the brakes and corner entries, or defend brutally hard on the straights. Toto Wolff warns Mercedes may turn Antonelli-Russell battles 'down a notch'F1 2026 standings F1 2026 Calendar | F1 Gossip ColumnDownload the Sky Sports app for expert analysis, best video & more📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 And understanding and explaining the effective 'Overtaking Mode', worth about three tenths of a second per lap, is becoming easier to observe and explain. In the end I believe it can be more effective and authentic than 'DRS' providing drivers and teams have to work at it and make the moves stick rather than an easy blow by. We also had two qualifying sessions, especially for the main race, which were old school punch and counter punch, and last driver over the finish line knife edge. The Mercedes car upgrade certainly moved them to the front of the pack again with a small but undeniable advantage, and although the top five were in the same order for both Sprint and main Grand Prix, a third of a second covered the top seven. I really didn't expect Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull to be so close so quickly. 'Antonelli was always going to run out of track in Sprint' The biggest spoiler of the weekend, for us and not them, was that Mercedes appear to have completely sorted out their starts and in fact George Russell from Sprint pole was best away. We then witnessed the first of two mighty battles between him and championship leader and team-mate Kimi Antonelli. George was marginally more under control and could command track position, but Kimi looked a little faster, something we would see again on race day. The inevitable happened into Turn One when Antonelli attempted to pass around the outside. He was very close to earning the right to racing room from his more senior team-mate, but in the end any driver fighting for a victory let alone a championship was going to run him out of track. Any of us would have done, or expected, the same. Kimi lost his head a bit for the duration of the Sprint such that the headmaster Toto Wolff even intervened on the radio. Kimi is lucky to have the wisdom of Bono and Toto at these moments, the rest of us would have just gone straight to the scene of the contact or accident, and recriminations post race. McLaren had new medium tyres for the Sprint against Mercedes' used tyres and this flattered them a little, but nonetheless both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri looked strong especially in the second half of a stint. Lewis Hamilton looked a different driver all weekend, happy with the car moving around at speed, and confident out of it. He dominated team-mate Charles Leclerc who struggles on this circuit layout. Let's be absolutely clear, multiple champions don't have favourite or bogey circuits, it's 'A game' all the way and there's no other option except for a lot of luck. Norris managed to split Russell and Antonelli for the Sprint podium after a few too many adventures and lock-ups for Antonelli. Well worth watching and anybody who would still prefer an FP3 practice session after that just confuses me. McLaren suffer pain for tyre call All the forecasts suggested a wet race and no doubt some teams factored this in to their set-ups for main race qualifying, which they carry through to the race. In reality the rain passed through earlier than expected and other weather cells moved either side of Montreal. The grid looked dry for Sunday's Grand Prix when the cars assembled, but there were a lot of nervous teams and drivers really unsure what to expect next. Few of them had any comprehensive experience of these new lower downforce cars on wet or intermediate tyres. Those that had a little knowledge didn't enjoy the experience, and it was hard enough to keep the slick dry tyres up to temperature on this track in these ambient temperatures let alone the rain tyres. Seven drivers on the main Grand Prix race start opted for intermediates, most crucially both McLarens, who were convinced that slick tyre runners would struggle and/or crash. Then the light rain stopped, and with Arvid Lindblad's Racing Bulls clutch failing there was an aborted start and another formation lap. It took a while to clear his car off the grid and so there was a further formation lap. And so seven minutes after McLaren's calculated risk on tyres the race got underway, and the intermediates looked a bad choice on the largely dry track. Painful for them especially as Piastri was asking to change immediately, and it would only get worse with a contact for Piastri with Albon at Turn 10. Then later Norris parked his broken car on the same Turn 10. It's the eighth race in 10 years where McLaren have not scored points and so definitely a bogey track for them. It was a great shame to lose the McLarens from the front-running picture but the duelling Mercedes and the relentless drives of Hamilton and Verstappen more than made up for it. 'Nothing to choose between Russell and Antonelli There's nothing to choose between Russell and Antonelli at the moment, experience and wisdom seems to match unbridled speed and enthusiasm perfectly, and that's why they keep meeting in the middle of a corner. They constantly seemed to be side by side especially when either driver ran a touch deep on the brakes into the Turn 10 hairpin. That is until Russell's Merc expired for good with a rare technical failure somewhere in the power unit. And he was out. In his despair he threw his headrest down the road and out front of the car, for which he would be fined €5,000 suspended for 12 months. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned as a way to process the extreme adrenalin flow and disappointment. Been there, done that. This released Antonelli on his way to a relatively untroubled fourth straight victory ahead of a rejuvenated Hamilton who grabbed second place, his best result for Ferrari in 29 races, with an audacious move on his old nemesis Verstappen in the closing stages. Three different teams on the podium, and while not an all-time classic this was a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable Grand Prix as far as I'm concerned. George Russell is now 43 points behind his teenage team-mate, that's equivalent to a first and second place, and he has to believe that what goes around comes around. There's still a very long way to go but McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull are not going to stand still either. Isack Hadjar served 30 seconds of penalties for moving under braking in defence and breaching the double-waved yellow flag rules, and still came home fifth. He's really turned a corner, not dissimilar to Franco Colapinto at Alpine who's an altogether different driver lately and who came home a very credible sixth for his best F1 result. In Monaco, the next challenge, there will be zero issues replenishing the very hungry battery and the cars will be full of immense power and challenges. I really do admire all the drivers for managing down the variability and evolution of modern F1.

Rudi Douglas, a 39-year-old musician from Ireland, had been booked to play piano at the event before being asked to sing and eventually being joined by the pop star. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Douglas explained how he had been booked for the Monday event three or four weeks ago but wasn't told until last week what the occasion was. "I was just stunned, I was like 'Please let this happen'," he says. Originally booked just to play piano, Mr Douglas was asked to sing a few songs after Netflix staff heard him singing while warming up. He was in the middle of playing a few songs to draw people into the room when the pop star surprised him. The pair later sang five songs together, including All The Lovers and Spinning Around. It was a dream come true for the musician, who won tickets to see the star in 2018 after being in her top 0.1% of listeners on Spotify. At one point, Mr Douglas even had to remind his idol of the words.

"We had a big hug and then she disappeared, and I think it was actually perfect like that… there's no other way I could show her how much I love her and her music than just playing it on the piano and singing it to her." The star spoke to Sky's Debbie Ridgard at the event about the struggles she's faced in her career ahead of the release of the Netflix documentary, Kylie, which looks back on her life.

And that is not even the half of it. It is not often the Premier League approaches a summer with so much potential managerial change afoot. Here we analyse the situations of 13 clubs where there has been uncertainty around their head coach position. Man City Guardiola's 10-year reign at Manchester City has ended, with Enzo Maresca set to be appointed his successor this summer. The departing City boss' future had been the subject of increasing speculation as the season drew to a close, and, in the end, it was announced ahead of the final game with the title already decided. Transfer Centre LIVE!| Latest on YOUR Premeir League club!Got Sky? Watch Sky Sports LIVE on your phone📱No Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Chelsea were informed by Maresca last autumn that he had been the subject of interest from City about replacing Guardiola, whom he worked under as assistant coach in Manchester during the 2022/23 season. Maresca, who left Chelsea in acrimonious circumstances in January, still had three-and-a-half years left on his Chelsea contract and club lawyers will be taking a keen interest in his next move, as compensation may well be due. Man Utd Manchester United put an end to the uncertainty around their head coaching position when they handed Michael Carrick a two-year contract ahead of their final game at Brighton. Having arrived after the sacking of Ruben Amorim to steer them to the end of the season, Carrick made it impossible for United not to keep him as they qualified for the Champions League and clinched third with a game to spare. Since taking over in January, Carrick won more points per game than any other Premier League manager (2.29) and picked up his 12th win in 17 games at Brighton on the final day. United went through a robust and discreet process with other candidates, Sky Sports News understands, but technical director Jason Wilcox ultimately recommended Carrick for the job. Liverpool Slot is expected to continue as Liverpool head coach next season, Sky Sports News understands, after the club sealed Champions League qualification.  However, there had been doubts throughout the campaign that that would be the case as they struggled to put up a proper Premier League title defence while trying to change playing style and embed more than £400m worth of new talent. Ultimately finishing fifth off the back of a title-winning season and such a big spend has not gone down well with supporters – and performances have also come under scrutiny from players, including departing hero Mohamed Salah. Even with Slot staying, it is expected to be a summer of big change at Anfield, with another crucial transfer market on the horizon and other players such as Andy Robertson set to leave. Chelsea Xabi Alonso has been chosen by Chelsea as the permanent successor to Liam Rosenior, who was sacked in April only three months after he took over from Maresca. Alonso will start work on July 1 in time for pre-season and he is the Chelsea manager – not head coach – which is a change from his predecessors. This is in recognition of his experience, his track record, and because of the key role he will play in helping develop all aspects of the club. Alonso will work extremely closely with the sporting directors and ownership group on recruitment, squad planning, performance and culture. Although they also had interest in Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva, Chelsea ultimately decided on Alonso after being very impressed with his character, integrity, discipline, emotional intelligence and leadership qualities, as well as his CV. Chelsea believe they have learned lessons from past mistakes. They recognise this season did not meet expectations or ambitions, and they want to accept responsibility. The ownership and leadership understand supporter frustration. Newcastle Eddie Howe insisted his commitment to Newcastle has never wavered after their disappointing season ended in defeat at Fulham and a bottom-half finish. However, there has been an ongoing review of the campaign, which will continue into the summer. Howe was central to talks with the Saudi Arabian ownership about the future direction of the club when they visited Tyneside late last month. After some "difficult questions" he said he felt the support from the ownership and was looking towards the summer when "recruitment becomes the big focus and making sure we get that right". As things stand, it looks as though Howe will continue, but he will want to avoid the problems of last summer, in which Alexander Isak's future dominated until Deadline Day, and his replacements Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa failed to live up to expectations. Bournemouth Marco Rose will be Bournemouth's new head coach next season, which seems odd to say after Iraola oversaw the club's best season, finishing sixth and qualifying for the Europa League. Iraola confirmed last month that he is leaving when his contract expires on June 30 and Bournemouth were swift to appoint Rose as his replacement. Iraola, oddly, remains without a new club for next season. The Spaniard was of interest to Chelsea and Athletic Club – but both clubs have gone in different directions. He still has Crystal Palace as an option, but they believe he is destined for a bigger club. And it emerged on Monday that AC Milan have approached Iraola's representatives about becoming their head coach next season. Fulham Marco Silva will have talks with the Fulham hierarchy this week with his contract coming to an end on June 30. Silva said after their final-day victory at home to Newcastle that he had not yet decided whether to stay – with a lucrative new contract still on the table – or move on. He Benfica's top target to replace Jose Mourinho back in his native Portugal, and has interest from at least one other club, having also been high on Chelsea's list before they appointed Alonso. Silva has established himself as one of the top coaches in the Premier League but is yet to be given his chance by a top club competing in European competition, despite being on the lists at Manchester United and Tottenham over the past few years. Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace job is set to become vacant on July 1, with Oliver Glasner leaving when his contract expires. Palace have whittled down their head coach shortlist to three viable contenders, with Iraola still the preferred option that they will not give up on until he has gone elsewhere.  The identity of the other two remains unclear, as Palace have admiration for a string of other top coaches from their long list, including the likes of Lens head coach Pierre Sage, Ipswich's Kieran McKenna and Coventry boss Frank Lampard. Glasner, meanwhile, said on Sunday he has rejected "many offers" and that he is "not open for talks" until after the Conference League final. Leeds Daniel Farke has completed his task of keeping Leeds in the Premier League, smashing the target of a point per game out of the water by ending the season in 14th on 47 points. The German has one year left on his contract and made it clear a few weeks ago that he wants Leeds' owners, the 49ers, to match his ambition if he is to stay and sign a new deal. Farke, who also said he does want to continue as manager, has now revealed that he and the ownership have begun to sit down and talk about the future. "We've spoken very open, very honestly and in a trustful atmosphere," he said. "We speak very open right now, very ambitiously, and with belief in each other. Once we have agreed something important for the future we'll come out and speak about it." As things stand, there is no indication that those conversations will lead to a parting of ways. Farke's comments, in which he left things open-ended around his future, come at a time when his contract is up for discussion. West Ham Nuno Espirito Santo and West Ham's hierarchy were in talks on Monday regarding his future as head coach of the club following their relegation to the Championship. West Ham can terminate his contract without compensation and Nuno is also able to walk away from his contract after the team failed to secure Premier League survival. Talks were scheduled Monday morning and carried on into the afternoon, amid reports that the Portuguese would be dismissed and a new boss sought out, with Scott Parker and Gary O'Neil among those linked. We are yet to hear the outcome of those discussions as the Hammers prepare for life again in the second tier. Burnley The Burnley job is currently vacant after Parker left the club with relegation to the Championship confirmed. Interim Mike Jackson oversaw the final four games without a win, Burnley finishing 19th thanks to a final-day draw against Wolves. Craig Bellamy has been linked with the job but Sky Sports News understands he remains totally committed to Wales and leading them to Euro 2028. Steven Gerrard and Brian Barry-Murphy, who has just taken Cardiff up to the Championship, have also been linked. Coventry Coventry have no appetite for a change on the bench. Frank Lampard can do no wrong at the West Midlands club, having returned them to the Premier League as Championship winners. The only way an issue emerges this summer is if a bigger club shows strong interest in Lampard and there is a decision to make. He has been on Crystal Palace's long list, although they do not appear poised to make a move at this stage. Ipswich Like Coventry, Ipswich have their messiah in Kieran McKenna, who has taken them into the Premier League for a second time. He has a long contract there and is settled in Suffolk, ready to fight to keep them up this time around. Like Lampard, only the interest of a bigger club might present a reason for McKenna to leave what he has built at Portman Road, and potentially complicate things there this summer.
