An amber weather warning for wind came into place for parts of northern England, Scotland and Wales earlier on Saturday, and the Met Office has now said the storm will "continue to deepen" in the coming days. The amber alert warns flying debris could lead to "injuries or danger to life". Heavy snow and gale-force winds will also bring disruption, with winds of up to 66mph already being recorded in Capel Curig, north Wales. Parts of Lancashire, North Yorkshire, Northumberland, north Wales and Scotland are covered by the amber warning, which came into effect at 7pm and is due to remain in place until 3am on Sunday. The Met Office said that "while some uncertainty remains in the exact track and shape of Storm Dave, a spell of strong southwesterly winds is expected". Meanwhile, four separate yellow weather warnings from the Met Office came into force on Saturday afternoon: • An alert for wind covering northern England, parts of Scotland and part of Wales is active until 7am tomorrow • A separate warning for wind across the whole of Northern Ireland is in place until 3am • The whole of mainland Scotland and a part of northeast England also faces a yellow warning for wind until 12pm tomorrow • A yellow alert for snow applies to the Scottish Highlands until 3am Storm Dave will be at its worst later on Saturday, but will weaken on Sunday as it blows into the North Sea. Travel disruption on the roads - as well as on rail, air and ferry services - is possible. Large waves could cause dangerous conditions along the coastline, and there may be 80mph gusts in exposed areas. Meanwhile, the Energy Networks Association (ENA), which represents electricity network operators, said on Saturday: "The storm has the potential to affect local power infrastructure, increasing the risk of a power cut and fallen power lines. "Network operators are increasing staffing for operational teams, and moving spare equipment to where the weather is expected to be most disruptive, so it's ready to use if needed." Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said that once Storm Dave passes, parts of the UK will have a spell of warm weather. He predicted "heavy snow" would form across parts of the Highlands through Saturday afternoon, evening and night and "as much as 20-30cm (8-12 inches) could fall over the higher ground, and 5-10cm (2-4 inches) over lower ground". But warmer air arrives from Europe after Easter Monday, bringing higher temperatures through Tuesday and into Wednesday, he said. England and Wales could "see temperatures rising to the low 20s, with highs around 20C (68F) or 21C (70F) on Tuesday, and possibly 23C (73F) or 24C (75F) come Wednesday". Southeast England could enjoy the best of the sun on Wednesday, "where 23C and 24C is most likely". Scotland's First Minister John Swinney warned of "really quite challenging conditions" later on Saturday and urged people to "follow all of the advice that's available and to make sure they stay safe". George Fiddes, from Transport Scotland, said motorists "should check their planned routes before setting off". Some areas could also experience power cuts.

The ​decision to throw out most of the claims in the case was made by District Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan on Thursday on jurisdictional grounds. Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in connection with the filming of their 2024 romantic drama It Ends With Us. The 38-year-old actress - who is married to Ryan Reynolds - sued Baldoni, his production company Wayfarer Studios and others, seeking damages for alleged harassment, defamation, invasion of privacy and violations ‌of federal and state civil rights laws. She claimed the defendants created a sexually charged atmosphere during the film's production and then schemed to silence her from speaking out. The film starred Lively and Baldoni, who was also the director. Baldoni - who denies any wrongdoing - argued he addressed his co-star's concerns as soon as she raised them and defended his decision to hire a crisis management firm after Lively began disparaging him publicly. In his ruling, Judge Liman said Lively had sued under a ​California law but the alleged wrongful conduct took place elsewhere. He said Lively could pursue a retaliation claim against Wayfarer Studios, in addition to a contract claim and an aiding and ​abetting claim against various defendants. The rift became public in December 2024 when Lively filed a complaint with the California civil rights department, followed by her lawsuit.

Baldoni ⁠sued Lively and Reynolds for defamation, accusing the couple of destroying his reputation, but Judge Liman dismissed the case in June. He also dismissed Baldoni's case against The New York Times. It Ends With Us is about a flower shop owner, played by Lively, who marries a neurosurgeon ​played by Baldoni, but the marriage falls apart when he becomes abusive, reminding the florist of her own parents' relationship.

The prime minister released his statement as is traditional from Downing Street. He said that in 'times when some seek to divide, the government is committed to working across faiths and differences, to build a country that is more resilient, inclusive and connected'. This follows a row earlier last month over whether Muslims praying in Trafalgar Square as part of Eid constituted a "domination" of public space, as argued by the shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy and agreed by Reform. A Passion of Jesus performance, showing the story of the crucifixion, was put on in the square on Good Friday. Sir Keir also addressed the impact on cost of living from the war in the Middle East. In his Easter message, Sir Keir said: "Easter is a celebration of hope, new life and renewal. "Across the country, churches and Christian communities quietly and tirelessly support families, children and neighbours - offering comfort, bringing people together, and standing alongside those who need it most. "It is precisely that spirit of service which exemplifies national renewal, and reflects the very heart of Christ's example. "This Easter comes at a time of real anxiety for many people. Conflicts abroad, pressures at home, and uncertainty about the future weigh heavily on families and households. "In moments like these, faith offers reassurance and grounding - a reminder that we are not alone, and that hope can still take root even in difficult soil."

"I thank everyone who gives their time through churches and Christian charities, and wish Christians across the UK and around the world a very happy Easter filled with peace, hope and the promise of new life." Leader of the opposition Kemi Badenoch also shared a message, describing Easter as "a reminder that even in the darkest times, renewal is possible and that light can overcome darkness". "At the heart of the Christian faith is a story of redemption, of second chances, of perseverance and of the belief that better days lie ahead," she said. 👉 Click here to listen to Electoral Dysfunction on your podcast app 👈 "In a world that can often feel uncertain, perhaps even bleak, with conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, and challenges at home, that message matters more than ever. "Across the country, we also see the cultural value of Christianity in the quiet, everyday impact of that faith in acts of kindness, service and sacrifice in our communities. I wish Christians and all people across the United Kingdom a very happy Easter."

They weighed in at Kensington's Olympia, the historic venue that will host a stacked bill of women's world title fights, live on Sky Sports on Sunday. After both made weight - with Harper fractionally the heavier, 134lbs 6oz to Dubois' 134lbs 2oz - they went virtually nose to nose at their final face off before breaking away. 'She's trying to be me' - Caroline Dubois reacts to Terri Harper elbow bargeBuy tickets for Caroline Dubois vs Terri Harper billGet Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW The jibes exchanged between Dubois and Harper have grown increasingly vicious as their contest for the WBC and WBO lightweight titles has drawn closer. Their clashes during the week of the fight have threatened to get physical as they jostled each other for position in front of the cameras. Dubois had previously flexed with her elbow in front of Harper's face and the latter made sure to do the same as they posed for pictures. But the pre-fight psychological skirmishes will now come to an end. The contest itself is now one night away. "It's all about tomorrow, it's not about the elbows, it's all about the fists," Harper said. "It's the weight I feel most comfortable at," she added. "I'm happy. "I just told her I'm excited to punch her in the face." Dubois is determined to back up her words. "A win is the most important thing but I believe I win by knockout," she said. "I've grown, I've gotten big, I've gotten strong, I can't wait. "We're here now, we've done the hardest part which is making the weight, we're here, we're ready, we're ready to fight." Ellie Scotney stands to become the UK's youngest undisputed champion, male or female, in the four-belt era, if she can unify Mayelli Flores' WBA championship with the IBF, WBC and WBO titles she already holds. Scotney looked grave and then broke into a beaming smile as she won her battle with the scales, weighing 121lbs 8oz. Flores is short but broad and a strong, aggressive world champion. She was 121lbs 2oz and is looking to make history of her own and become Mexico's first-ever female undisputed champion. "As soon as I came to London my objective was to be that," Flores said. "[My baggage allowance is] no problem, I'll leave my clothes here and take that extra belt!" "I'm ready to fight," Scotney warned her. "More than ready. "All the belts, all the marbles." Chantelle Cameron and Michaela Kotaskova will make some boxing history themselves on Sunday at Olympia. They will meet in the first women's world title fight to be fought over three-minute rounds on UK soil. Cameron, the former undisputed super-lightweight champion, is also gunning to become a two-weight world titlist when she fights Kotaskova for the vacant WBO super-welterweight championship. Cameron, moving up to the division for the first time, was well under the weight limit at 148lbs 2oz, with Kotaskova not much heavier at 150lbs 1oz. "I've been working hard in the gym getting ready for the three minute rounds and I've got the engine so it's all paying off," Cameron said. "Three-minute rounds suits me way more." But Kotaskova said: "I'm going to go all in, it's a huge opportunity for me. "I'm going to do my best." Emma Dolan (114lbs 4oz) challenges for a world title for the first time in her career when she takes on Mexican police officer, lawyer and IBF super-flyweight champion Irma Garcia (113lbs 8oz).

The incident, which came to light on Friday night, happened earlier this week and five people have been temporarily suspended from frontline duties while an investigation takes place. Jordan Griffiths called the police after his girlfriend, who is eight months pregnant, found a bag of weapons, including a submachine gun, in a road in south London. Speaking to Sky News, 30-year-old Griffiths said he initially worried he could end up jailed. "I put [the bag] on the bed, opened the zip and the first thing I pulled out was the Taser," he said. "I was like, 'oh my god'. Pulled out another one and it was a Glock [pistol]. "Opened up the big bit and the MP5 [submachine gun] was there. I was like, 'what am I going to do now? Am I going to go to prison for this?'. I didn't know what to do." Mr Griffiths called the police and officers soon arrived to retrieve the bag. "Anyone could have picked it up, to be honest," he said. "Lucky enough, I came outside and rang the police but anyone could have picked it up. "There's loads of troublemakers around here. [The mayor's] security have let everyone down, really." The Metropolitan Police's Directorate of Professional Standards has confirmed it is reviewing what happened. In a statement, it said: "A member of the public called police after finding a bag containing Met-issued firearms and a Taser on a street in south London. "Within seven minutes of the call to police, officers arrived at the scene and safely recovered the items. "At this stage, it is believed the bag was misplaced by on-duty officers a short time before the member of the public located it." The incident happened at about 9.40pm on Tuesday.

A spokesperson for the mayor said: "This is a very serious incident, which has been referred to the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards. "The Met must now take all steps to ensure an incident like this never occurs again."

The former Little Mix star has campaigned for all newborn babies to be screened for the rare condition after her twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson, were diagnosed. They were found to have the condition, which causes progressive muscle wastage, which Nelson says means they will probably never walk, after being born prematurely last year. The 34-year-old launched a petition for more health checks for babies, appearing on Sky News to promote her campaign, and it reached 100,000 signatures. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has now announced the checks will be rolled out as part of in-screening evaluations from this October, rather than January 2027. These are used to test proposed screening programmes before they are adopted nationally. In a letter to Nelson and Giles Lomax, the boss of the SMA UK charity, Mr Streeting said he was keen on a full rollout and promised to keep them updated. Nelson, a patron of the charity, celebrated the news in a post on Instagram. "I am so proud, as this is a major milestone for the SMA community," she said.

Mr Lomax said his charity would continue to work towards a UK-wide rollout of SMA screening, adding: "No baby should be left behind based on where they live."

The Times reported that Mr Miliband, the key proponent of Labour's net zero plans, is set to give the project the green light. Jackdaw was previously approved under the Conservatives, before being put on ice when a court appeal forced a new environmental assessment. Middle East live: US jet shot down, Iranian media claims Labour was elected on a manifesto that promised not to approve new oil and gas licences. However, the government considers this not to apply to Jackdaw due to the prior consent, leaving the door open for Jackdaw to be approved. Mr Miliband's efforts to sprint towards green energy have faced new challenges following the outbreak of war in the Middle East, and rising energy prices. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said earlier this week she was "very happy" to back Jackdaw, and the linked Rosebank project. Both are located in the North Sea, with Jackdaw - off Aberdeen - mainly containing gas, and Rosebank - near the Shetland Islands - having both gas and oil. In Labour's 2024 manifesto, Sir Keir Starmer promise his government would "not issue new licences to explore new fields". A government source pointed Sky News to the fact nothing was said about previously granted consents in the policy platform. Another said it was noted that Mr Miliband's decision will be made in a quasi-judicial fashion, based on the law, rather than government or Labour Party policy. In opposition, Mr Miliband branded Rosebank a "colossal waste of taxpayer money and climate vandalism". Read more:Countries are dealing with rising energy pricesStarmer unveils limited energy support And a war of words erupted on social media between Labour backbenchers - including a recently departed minister calling for more drilling. Josh Simons said Ms Reeves' backing of more drilling was "excellent news". However, Labour colleague Uma Kumaran replied "disagree", stating "the climate crisis is very real, as is the energy crisis. We can't keep going back to oil and gas." She said the war showed the UK was too reliant on fossil fuels, with Green Party leader Zack Polanski also criticised Mr Simons. The ex-minister said he was not convinced that new drilling wouldn't lower bills, bring energy independence or protect the UK from price shocks. Instead, his argument was that it would create jobs, provide tax revenue and reduce global carbon emissions by reducing the amount of imported fuel. "Yes, double down on renewables, insulate homes, lower bills. AND green light those two fields," Mr Simons said. Approval of the field would see Labour adopting a position shared by the Conservatives and Reform UK, who want more drilling. The SNP has recently changed its position to back drilling too, having previously called for a ban on new projects. One of the leading private sector figures involved in the Jackdaw project said it could start pumping fuel in time for next winter. Neil McCulloch, the chief executive of Adura, added that his company is ready to start providing energy from Jackdaw by this October, if they get a decision by the expected deadline around August. "We do not recognise this unfounded speculation," a Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesperson said. "We cannot comment on live planning decisions, and these decisions will be made in an appropriate and timely manner, after the last government's plans were found to be unlawful." 👉 Click here to listen to Electoral Dysfunction on your podcast app 👈 The rise in energy prices has led to many to call for more government action. Lord Richard Walker, the executive chairman of Iceland and Sir Keir Starmer's cost of living tsar, suggested the 5p cut on fuel duty should be extended past September, or even expanded.

Two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua was a passenger in a fatal car crash in Nigeria on December 29, which killed Ghami and Ayodele. Joshua has kept a low profile in recent months and Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has reiterated 'AJ' needs time to heal, but the duo were together on Saturday for Chisora's 50th and possibly final fight of his career as he took on Deontay Wilder in London. Buy tickets for Caroline Dubois vs Terri Harper billGet Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW Dressed in a white tracksuit, Joshua emerged with Hearn from a black people carrier and cut a calm figure as he walked into the arena past a number of camera crews. Chisora and Joshua both came from the same Finchley amateur boxing club and Joshua's management company also now represents Chisora. There was no friendly welcome from old rival Wilder, who was repeatedly linked with a world title bout with Joshua during the peak of their powers. The American went straight past the London heavyweight without any acknowledgement in a tight corridor inside the O2. Joshua last fought before Christmas when he stopped YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami, but speculation continues over a potential bout with Tyson Fury.
