Officers were called just before 4.30pm to Elthorne Park, Ealing, which is bordered by the River Brent, following "reports of two people in difficulty in the water". The pair, believed to be a mother and her son, were recovered from the water, but died at the scene. Their ages have not been revealed. A Metropolitan Police statement said: "Officers attended with the London Ambulance Service and the London Fire Brigade. "A woman and child were recovered from the water. We are not able to confirm their ages at this stage. "Very sadly, despite the best efforts of the emergency services who provided urgent medical care, they were both pronounced dead at the scene." Police are working to identify their next of kin.

Our thoughts are with their loved ones. "I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the first responders, and members of the public, who did their very best in an incredibly challenging situation. "While an investigation into what took place is under way, all initial indications are that the circumstances are not suspicious."

Jake Reiner, whose younger brother Nick has been charged with their murders, has told how his "world collapsed" after being informed that his parents had been found dead at their home in Los Angeles on 14 December. Writing on Substack, the 34-year-old actor and writer said: "My world, as I knew it, had collapsed. I was in a trance. "The only thing I could focus on was that I needed to get to my childhood home. I needed to get to my sister [Romy]. I needed to figure out what the hell just happened." He added: "It's too devastating to comprehend. I still wake up every morning having to convince myself that, no, it's not a dream. This truly is my living nightmare." His father, 78, and his mother, 70, were found dead in the bedroom by paramedics responding to an emergency call. "They should be enjoying the rest of their lives peacefully while growing older together," wrote Reiner in the post, entitled "Mom and Dad". "Instead, that was ripped away from them, from me, from Romy, and there was nothing we could do about it." He went on: "My parents won't be at my wedding, they won't get to hold their future grandchild, and they won't get to see me have the successful career I'm still seeking. "It simultaneously breaks my heart and enrages me." Reiner did not name his brother, who is alleged to have stabbed his parents before fleeing, in the post. However, he said: "Sure, any loss of a parent is devastating, but nothing compares to losing both of them at the same time and, on top of that, having your brother be at the center of it. It's almost too impossible to process."

The prime minister fired Sir Olly last week over his decision not to tell him that the former Labour peer had failed security checks ahead of his appointment as ambassador to Washington in December 2024. The former Foreign Office chief said there was an "atmosphere of pressure" and "constant chasing" from Downing Street while the vetting process was taking place. However, Sir Keir said during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday that "no pressure existed whatsoever in relation to this case". And, in an interview with The Sunday Times, the PM has said that he made a distinction between "different types of pressure". He said: "There's pressure - 'can we get this done quickly?' - which is not an unusual pressure. "That is the everyday pressure of government." Sir Keir said a pressure, "essentially, to disregard the security vetting element and give clearance", would be something different, and that Sir Olly "was really clear in his mind that wasn't pressure that was put on him". Asked if he regretted firing Sir Olly so quickly after information came to light about the vetting, Sir Keir said: "When there's a double red flag not to give clearance [showing] high concern, then I'm sorry. I'm sorry. "But I do not accept the argument that that is something which should not be told to the prime minister." Sir Keir said it was a "fundamental matter" to have told him about the vetting. He also rejected a suggestion he could have been more curious about Mandelson's clearance.

Questions over the vetting scandal will carry on into next week, when Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir's former chief of staff, is due to appear before committee of MPs. There have been calls for Sir Keir to resign over the Mandelson saga, and he is facing more pressure, with polls making grim reading for Labour ahead of May's elections for English councils and the Scottish and Welsh parliaments. However, he told The Sunday Times that he would stay on - and fight the next general election.

Their victories have even dragged Leeds back into the mix, already on 40 points. But it took late winners for West Ham and Tottenham on a Saturday packed with late drama. Spurs were four points adrift at one stage - and then out of the drop zone completely! They finish it where they started - two points behind their London rivals but with renewed belief thanks to Joao Palhinha's 82nd-minute winner over Wolves at Molineux. Spurs have their very first Premier League win of 2026 and first under Roberto De Zerbi. For Nuno, the pain of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's 88th minute equaliser that cancelled out Tomas Soucek's opener turned to joy when Callum Wilson pulled the three points out of the bag with the winner in stoppage-time. The Hammers rank sixth since mid-January. What the managers said… West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo: "Nobody is making it easy. It's going to be a big fight, I think, until the end. But the good thing is that we don't give up. We're still on it. The momentum, especially here at the London Stadium, I think it's a huge factor in the Premier League." Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi: "I hope this result can change something in our head, in our mentality, and for the other result. It's really very tough to win a game for us, if we put our head on the other teams, it becomes too tough for me. "They have to be positive, they have to feel full confidence, because they are good, and not to see the other results. For example, West Ham. And we have to move on and prepare for the next games. Now the first game is at Villa Park, and that's it." Palhinha ready for 'four finals' Joao Palhinha speaking after his match-winner for Spurs: "It's not a normal season that we have been living until today. We all have responsibility for this season, but the reality is we have four finals in the league and we need to do our job. "Hopefully, this win can change what happened in the past, give us a bit more motivation as well, because it's been a long time without victories. Especially in some of the games that we should have taken some more points, much more. "I think it happened a lot, but sometimes it's the details. But what we can control right now is doing our job until the end of the season and try to keep the club where it belongs, which is the Premier League." Could Tottenham injuries be a factor? One concern for Spurs is that their win came at a price with Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons both going off injured, joining Cristian Romero and Mohammed Kudus on the injury list since De Zerbi's arrival. It is a problem that the Italian could do without. "Solanke is a muscular injury, I don't know what level of injury, and for Xavi it's a problem of the knee. We're going to see in the next days, Monday or Tuesday," said De Zerbi. "For Solanke it's not a big problem, I don't know how many games we lose him, but I would like to know the situation of Xavi, because the knee is always different than the muscular injury. I spoke with him two minutes ago, he feels better than at the beginning of the injury. "I wouldn't like to lose any other players, because Romero, Kudus, now Solanke and maybe Xavi, we can win the games with the players, not with the coaches. The coaches are important, but the players are more important. But I want to be positive." Leeds and Forest aren't safe yet! Former Nottingham Forest and Tottenham defender Michael Dawson speaking on Soccer Saturday: "Psychologically, we talk about that relegation battle, Spurs haven't been in it, the players haven't been in this situation. But you could tell they were fighting, you could see that. "And you'd say, well, where's it been for the last 15 games? Yes, they haven't always got what they deserve, but they've been well below par. "But they showed a fighting spirit today, and that will be a massive bonus for Roberto De Zerbi, you see him after, his emotions. That momentum might change now. "Let me tell you, this isn't done with Leeds United and Nottingham Forest yet. Leeds United have to play West Ham on the final day, and they've got to go to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. So, there's plenty of football still to be played."

West Midlands Police said the woman, in her 30s, remains in custody on suspicion of causing or allowing the death of the children as investigations continue into the blaze in Wolverhampton at around 8.30pm on Friday. Two boys, aged one and three, were pronounced dead at the scene. Detective Chief Inspector Kylie Westlake, from the public protection unit, said: "This is a truly tragic incident, and our thoughts remain very much with those who loved the children who have been lost. "We understand the shock and distress this awful incident will have caused to many people and we are working at pace to ascertain exactly what has happened. "Officers have arrested a woman on suspicion of causing or allowing the death of two children. "While we would ask people not to speculate about [the arrest] or the wider incident, we would ask that anyone who can help with our enquiries, and who is yet to speak with us, to get in contact."

They were checked over by medics, but did not need hospital treatment. Police have cordoned off the end-of-terrace house, which was extensively damaged, while work is done to establish the cause of the fire. On Saturday morning, forensic officers could be seen entering the property wearing protective equipment. The walls of the house appeared scorched, while two ground-floor windows were open and blackened with smoke.

Walker had been due to give evidence in the trial after his Channel 5 News co-host Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije alleged sexist and racial discrimination and unfair dismissal. Walker was listed as a respondent in the claims alongside ITN and its chief executive Rachel Corp, and Channel 5 and its owner Paramount. Vanderpuije had also filed a claim of suffering a detriment or dismissal due to exercising rights under the Public Interest Disclosure Act - more commonly known as whistleblowing. The case had been due to be heard at the London Tribunals Centre next week, but an agreement was reached during a minute-long hearing on Friday, when employment judge Emma Webster dismissed all the claims. A statement from her lawyers said: "Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije can confirm that a mutual agreement has been reached with ITN and Channel 5 in respect of the matters subject to Tribunal proceedings. Claudia-Liza fully withdraws her allegations relating to Dan Walker and does not intend to repeat or pursue them." Walker shared a statement on his Instagram page moments after the agreement was announced. 'I hope she finds peace' He wrote: "I firmly feel that I should never have been pulled into this; however, I was fully prepared to go to tribunal and defend the allegations which were levelled at me. "Through all of this I have always been concerned for the claimant's well-being, and that has not changed. I hope she finds peace." He also thanked his family and friends for their support, adding: "I will be forever grateful to those who were kind enough to go on the record with their accounts of working alongside me." A Channel 5 spokesperson said: "We strongly reject the claims that were made and are pleased that this matter has been resolved and that all the allegations relating to Dan Walker have been withdrawn." An ITN spokesperson said: "We continue to deny these claims in full, and we are glad this matter has been resolved." It's understood that an earlier investigation into claims against Walker, commissioned by ITN but carried out independently, was not upheld, and no misconduct was found. Walker, 49, presented BBC Breakfast for six years before joining Channel 5's flagship news bulletin, 5 News, as lead presenter in 2022. He hosted alongside Vanderpuije for a year. A sports fan, Walker previously hosted Football Focus and worked across various Olympic Games for the BBC. He also competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, finishing in fifth place. Vanderpuije, 47, worked for channels including London Live, Talk and Sky News before joining Channel 5 in 2018. She was announced as co-host of 5 News in 2022, but left the company in 2024.

The official readout was that this was a long-standing away day with advisors and the inner cabinet to discuss the content and framing of the King's Speech, in which Labour sets out its agenda for the next session of parliament. But the big question now is whether Starmer even makes it that far. Ask his team and they will tell you that the PM intends to fulfil this mandate and serve out his full term as prime minister. He is focusing on dealing with the effects of the Ukraine and Iran conflicts and planning around that. But that is not what most people in his party and around his cabinet table are talking about. They are talking about how Starmer might be replaced and who might be the one to do it. When I ask around those in, or plugged into, the top circle, there is a view settling that Starmer will not be the prime minister to fight the next election. A few weeks back, the prime minister looked in a better position than he had since his near political death experience in February, when more revelations about Peter Mandelson prompted a crisis which led Labour Scottish leader Anas Sarwar to demand the PM resign over "too many mistakes made." His party thought he'd handled the UK's response to the Iran war well, while his more muscular approach to Donald Trump was being well received both in his party and a public overwhelmingly ill-disposed to the US president. But the latest debacle around the Mandelson vetting scandal has put paid to the progress the PM had made in calming nerves in recent weeks, with the events of recent days draining Starmer's already depleted bank of authority to the point where even some in the cabinet have displayed a sense of weariness or reluctance to defend their leader on the morning rounds. The fallout from the leak to The Guardian that Mandelson had failed his vetting, which saw the sacking of Olly Robbins and days of coverage of who said what and when, only cemented the view among his detractors that the PM lacks judgement and is not up to the job. One former government adviser was bemused by the dismissal of Robbins because it created an entire new news cycle that the government very much didn't need, pointing out if Starmer had suspended him and called for an investigation, he could have better contained the fallout. As it is, the Foreign Affairs Select Committee is now hearing from Robbins' predecessor Philip Barton, who was opposed to Mandelson's appointment, and the PM's former chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney next week. One senior party figure tells me they think there's "agreement he's not around for the next election, but the when and how and who? Ask 10 people and you get 10 different views." Another minister says they believe Starmer's team knows he will not fight the next election, and it's a question of when, not if, the PM has to go. "He has to go." In my conversations with people in the party in recent days, what emerges is that there is no settled view on what might happen or who might be a likely replacement. That the cabinet is not aligned - and that many in the cabinet are quietly considering their own bids - makes it more difficult. There is endless talk about Angela Rayner, who is well-liked in the party, but has the question of her tax affairs still unresolved. All eyes will be on what sort of intervention she chooses to make after the local elections in May. Wes Streeting is apparently going to the pubs for drinks with MPs, but as one of his supporters points out to me, the health secretary would need a coronation because he couldn't win with party members. That means getting huge momentum in the party, which is not moving as a pack at all. There is also enthusiasm from many about getting Andy Burnham back and crowning him. But that route is complicated, and those who might want it would need to back Starmer now, to give Burnham the time to get back into parliament. There is talk about Yvette Cooper, Ed Miliband, or possible caretaker PMs in Lucy Powell or John Healy, the defence secretary. It is, as you can see, messy, unclear and lacking organisation. Layer on to this atmosphere a set of very difficult local election results, and the next few weeks look very uncertain indeed for Starmer. If the results come in as bad as are feared, with Labour being hit hard in the Northern red wall, Scotland, Wales and London, then it could prove to be a tinderbox moment. "People are nervous before acting before the local elections, and the No 10 spin has been [that] we will have to have a general election and that will lead to a Reform government if we oust Keir," says one Labour minister. "But I think after the local elections, all gloves are off." Another senior party figure tells me that it could get very messy after May: "I don't know if there is a move against Keir because under party rules it's still very hard to pull off. It's more likely that a trickle becomes a flood, and then he needs to go as he comes under pressure, and some key people don't back him up." In February, when Scottish leader Anas Sarwar went over the top and called for the PM to resign, he looked behind him to find no one had joined him. The question now is, will Starmer still command the confidence of this cabinet after these elections in May? But what is also true is that many in the parliamentary party do not want a leadership challenge. As one told me this week: "Keir is far from perfect, but I don't think the country needs the drama and chaos of a leadership battle right now." That MP also made the point that there is "no clear replacement to coalesce around". The uncertainty and internal divisions in the party are what Starmer's allies hope will help keep the prime minister in post for now, but they can be certain of nothing come polling day.

Eberechi Eze's superb early goal sealed the victory, taking the Gunners back to the top of the table with a three point gap after Manchester City. The pressure was on the north Londoners to respond after losing to Pep Guardiola's side last weekend, with Man City going into first place on Wednesday by beating Burnley. Neville believes the next four league games will not be comfortable for Arsenal as they look to secure their first league title in 22 years, with a lack of experience playing in to the anxiety.

It's a crowd that haven't seen it for so long, or haven't seen it at all for a lot of them. "It's a group of players that haven't seen it before either and that comes across. If they get over the line, they're going to have to be wheelbarrowed over it. They're not going to sail over the line - it's going to be a real struggle. They're not going to all of a sudden hit form in this next couple of weeks." He was also critical of Arsenal's overall performance despite their victory against Newcastle, adding: "A lot of things they did in this game weren't great from a tactical point of view. "They're very good defensively and they really work hard. They really do sprint like crazy to get back into their shape, they defend really well and they're compact. "They're so well organised and there's a lot of respect needed for that... it is something that you should be really proud of and it can win you a title. "But what you want is that expression, that freedom where they play forward, they run forward and they do things with a bit more certainty in their attacking play and that didn't come at all today. "The goal comes from a set-piece, but I can't think of other chances that they created in open play because they get the ball into the final third and then they recycle it quite safely at times. "That's been a criticism of mine of them for a couple of years now. What's your idea? "I understand recycling the ball around the edge of the box if you're 2-0 or 3-0 up, try and draw them out, let them get frustrated, work them, move them from side to side, but they're not doing that and when they're moving them from side to side, they're not doing it quickly. "We're seeing them almost amble from side to side with the ball where someone takes a touch and another touch, and Newcastle's players are not really having to move at all. They're just standing in front of you. "I don't see the idea sometimes and they're not positive enough." Neville praise for Arsenal's perseverance with short corners Eze's goal was scored from a short corner. It was the third of the game from the Gunners in the space of a few minutes, and there were groans from the stands after the first two. It was clear though that they had a plan and it paid off with the winger's wonderful goal from range that ultimately was the winner. Neville gave Arsenal credit for persevering with the routine, but warned they will need to add more goals to give themselves the best chance of winning the league. He said: "They also deserve massive credit for what they've done with those set-pieces today because I reckon 99 out of 100 teams, when your fans are groaning after the second one, you're playing it into the box on the third one, but they did it again. "They were almost probing with one area, but then coming in, and what they were trying to do is work out that space of how they got it to [Kai] Havertz and Eze was the key at the edge of the box. It's an exceptional finish. "Eze looks like he's got a little bit of confidence and there's a bit of a swagger about him and that was really well worked. "Set-pieces are a big part of this Arsenal team and it's meant that they've come up trumps because of it again. "Arsenal can keep clean sheets, but City are in far better form right now from an attacking perspective. Arsenal are going to need to keep clean sheets, they're going to need to win every single game and they've got a chance for the title. "The defensive work is absolutely outstanding, but they need goals as well." 'Arteta won't prioritise Champions League or Premier League - he has to go for both' Amid the Premier League title race, Arsenal are also in the Champions League semi-finals. They play their first leg away to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Neville said of the duel competitions: "There's going to be no prioritisation because they're in the two biggest competitions - you have to go for both. "The only way this works for Arsenal is to keep momentum, keep winning and they have to somehow take the reins off, while the defensive balance stays in place and that set-piece organisation stays in place. "They've got to be more free in their attacking play. If you think about a glass half full, you can go and be a Champions League winner and a Premier League winner. "At the moment, I think they're thinking 'we've got to win a league'. I don't think they're thinking 'we've got to win a Champions League'. "A lot of these players don't know how to win a Champions League, but they've been so close in the title race and they'll be so desperate not to fall short in that. "I do think that Mikel Arteta has to go for every single game and not prioritise any over the other, but he knows that the Premier League is the one that's easier to win than the Champions League right now. "I think there are better teams in there than them in the Champions League and it's a cup competition. They've got three games left and they've only got four left in the league, so you could argue that it's easy to win both, but I don't see them getting past Atletico Madrid and the other teams in the semi-final, but I do see them having a chance with the league."
