The King's niece said she was born in hospital in Lisbon and weighed 6lbs 9oz. Posting on Instagram, Eugenie said she and husband Jack Brooksbank were "beyond in love with our girlie". The couple already have two boys, five-year-old August and three-year-old Ernest. It's understood they are taking their time to choose a name for their daughter - who is now 15th in line to the throne, just ahead of Prince Edward. Buckingham Palace said the couple were "delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter" - born on 3 August at 6.20pm. "Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the royal family were delighted to be informed of the news," the statement added. The new arrival is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's fifth grandchild; Princess Beatrice has two girls and a stepson with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Eugenie and her husband own a home in Portugal are spend much of their time there. They are understood to use Ivy Cottage, a three-bedroom property in the grounds of Kensington Palace, when back in the UK.

Among those in attendance at the cathedral were U2's Bono, actors Steve Coogan and Chris O'Dowd, former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams and traditional musician Finbar Furey. Hundreds stood outside St Patrick's Cathedral where large screens were set up. Among the first to arrive at the service were musicians Hozier, Declan O'Rourke, Jerry Fish and Imelda May. Hansard, the frontman of Irish band The Frames, was killed at the age of 56 in a motorcycle crash on the outskirts of Dublin last week. The accident happened hours after he took part in a music session at The Wren's Nest pub. Thousands of mourners attended a public wake for the musician at the Baroque Chapel at the Irish Museum of Modern Art at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham on Monday. Hansard featured in celebrated film The Commitments, and won an Oscar for best original song for Falling Slowly in 2008, which he co-wrote with Marketa Irglova for the film Once. He was well-known for busking with U2 frontman Bono on Dublin's Grafton Street every Christmas Eve, and was involved with various charitable and social causes. He also played a powerful rendition of Fairytale of New York during the funeral for Shane MacGowan in 2023. His funeral service began at St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin at 1.30pm, with several people queuing outside for hours to attend.

Theresa Martin travelled from Co Waterford to attend the funeral and was in the queue to enter the church. She said: "It was just the feeling that he brought to the music. You could see it in his eyes and his face. "It was true stories as well. It was unique."

Andy Burnham has blocked cuts to sentences – also known as early release – for rape and serious child sex and grooming offences, which will be welcome news to many. Politics Hub: Follow the latest Others, though, will be left wondering: what about me, or my case? Why is my perpetrator, some of them who will be in prison for really serious crimes, able to be freed early and not others? PC Andrew Harper's widow, Lissie, has called the announced review changes "disgusting" and an "utter betrayal". Thames Valley Police Federation, the force where PC Harper served, said they are "outraged that the justice secretary and the prime minister have decided that killing a police officer in the execution of their duty is somehow less serious than other offences deemed too dangerous for early release". The Domestic Abuse Commissioner, Nicole Jacobs, has said the government are putting "lives at risk" by not excluding domestic abuse perpetrators in the way that rape offenders and others are. "While this will be well received by some victims, most will not fall within those categories, and exclusions alone cannot guarantee victim or public safety," said Claire Waxman, the Victims Commissioner. The problem is, much of this is about pragmatism and politics. There is a perception that the general public don't care about prisons until it's a conversation about public safety and perceived injustice. This is exactly that. How did we get here? The latest row over this policy happened only days after Burnham became prime minister. He probably felt he had little option but to look again – ironically at plans which were made law under Sir Keir Starmer's government earlier this year, following an independent review of sentencing policy. Burnham has long been a critic of how previous governments have failed victims of injustice or covered up scandals. But he will also have been told that scrapping the plans altogether wasn't an option because of prison overcrowding. The male prison estate is operating at around 97% capacity still, even after numerous "emergency" or "temporary" measures, releasing tens of thousands of inmates early, under successive governments. One prison governor told me their usual "summer lull", as courts start to shut down for August, isn't happening this year. "What does this do to capacity by Christmas?" they asked. Remember, in 2024 there were just 100 free spaces left across England and Wales. Police custody suites were regularly used as alternative cells. 'A risk mistakes will be made' But there are fears too that "there is a risk mistakes will be made", according to one prison service source, with fast turnaround sentence recalculations (again) by an already stretched service. The first tranche of releases wasn't due until 2 September, but the prison and probation service had a while to plan for that date. It's now been delayed until 1 October, but with new exclusions, which could become complicated. Someone could be serving a sentence for varying offences, and things could be missed, is the worry. Probation will now only have around six weeks for release planning, once the sentences have been recalculated. Read more from Sky News:Woman who stole £300k from pensioner is jailedMan jailed after falsely claiming electric car was out of control A reminder – the Sentencing Act 2026, which became law earlier this year, meant prisoners serving standard sentences in England and Wales could be freed after serving a third of their sentence, rather than half, if they didn't break prison rules or commit further offences in jail. The rest would be spent on supervision in the community, using electronic tagging. More serious criminals, including those convicted of sexual and violent crimes, would have been eligible for release from prison after serving half of their sentence, rather than two-thirds, as is typically the case at the moment. 'Not the end of the conversation' This announced review now excludes inmates serving sentences for crimes like rape and grooming offences. But people who are in prison for a crime such as manslaughter can in theory still be released after serving half of their sentence. What this has to be about is human consequences and confidence in the justice system. For victims of rape, that's historically been a huge hurdle. The prospect that their demands are being listened to with these changes will be something. But even a lawyer representing abuse and grooming victims – the perceived beneficiaries of the review – tells me: "This should not mark the end of the conversation." "Victims of other serious violent offences also deserve confidence that sentences imposed by the courts will be served as intended," they said. This issue has troubled governments for years now. Burnham will be viewed by some as a new PM who acted decisively and who cares about victims and injustices. But what's already clear is that the outcome of this review is being seen by others as an injustice in itself.

The Gunners remain in talks with Newcastle over a deal for the 28-year-old, who would be joining a group of midfielders which includes Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino and Myles Lewis-Skelly. So where and how would he fit in? No 6 or No 8? Guimaraes can play as a deep-lying midfielder or a more advanced No 8. He explained his preference for the latter position in an interview with Sky Sports in October 2022, when he was being used by former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe in the No 6 role. "To be honest, if you ask me this question, I have to say I prefer to play at No 8, but I think my role here, at No 6, is exactly what the team needs," said Guimaraes. "It is to take the ball out, to do some passes, to find the wingers and the strikers. Transfer Centre LIVE! | Arsenal news & transfers🔴⚪Arsenal fixtures & scores | FREE Arsenal highlights▶️Got Sky?

Latest Sky Sports deals or stream PL games with no contract📺 "I can play both positions, but Eddie has a choice to make and, for me, the most important thing is just to play and to help Newcastle get the three points. I think my best position is at No 8 but I can play at No 6. It's not a problem for me." Guimaraes ended up playing in his favoured role for Newcastle after Sandro Tonali took over at No 6, but his flexibility, and willingness to put the team first, will doubtless appeal to Mikel Arteta, who loves players able to slot into different positions. Guimaraes' versatility shines through when breaking down his minutes played by position in the Premier League. The graphic above shows he has played most of his minutes for Newcastle at the base of midfield but also highlights his ability to play as both a right and left-sided No 8, providing further evidence of the flexibility he can bring to Arsenal in terms of how he is used. The options he'd give Arteta Even when ostensibly starting as Newcastle's No 6, Guimaraes was platformed to attack. "With the way we are playing, Dan Burn is at left-back, so he can stay in the middle and I can go and be another player to help the attackers," he added to Sky Sports in 2022. Guimaraes finished that season with four goals and five assists in the Premier League for Newcastle, despite playing as the No 6. He was even more productive in the following campaign, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists in the same role. In total, the Brazil international has contributed an impressive total of 30 goals and 25 assists in 153 Premier League appearances for the club, underlining the extent of his attacking threat. Arsenal have plenty of full-backs capable who could tuck inside to allow him to get forward from the No 6 position. But another way to maximise Guimaraes's attacking qualities in a box-to-box role would be to use him as part of a double pivot. Rice could be the perfect foil. The 27-year-old spent most of last season playing as Arsenal's left-sided No 8, with Zubimendi playing at No 6. But he finished it playing further back, on the right of a double pivot with Lewis-Skelly, who impressed after his late-season move into midfield. Rice excelled alongside the youngster. Like Guimaraes, he has the energy to get up and down the pitch as a box-to-box midfielder but he is also tactically aware and disciplined in his positioning. Even before he was moved back into a double pivot last season, Rice often provided cover for Zubimendi, who was able to score five Premier League goals while playing as Arsenal's No 6. Using Guimaraes and Rice in a double pivot would allow Arteta to deploy one of Martin Odegaard or Eberechi Eze as a pure No 10. In the event of Rice being unavailable, or simply needing a rest, he could even use both players as No 8s ahead of Guimaraes at No 6. If Arteta wanted to go in the opposite direction and prioritise physicality over flair, he could sacrifice a playmaker for Zubimendi and push Guimaraes forward, into the right-sided No 8 role in which he spent much of the last two seasons for Newcastle. A midfield trio of Guimaraes, Zubimendi and Rice might not appear the most attack-minded but it would certainly allow Arsenal to win most physical battles in central midfield. It should also be noted that Guimaraes actually profiles similarly to Odegaard as a passer. Guimaraes made almost exactly the same number of line-breaking passes per 90 minutes as the Arsenal captain last season. His average of 8.6 put him well ahead of either Rice or Zubimendi. He also directed a similar percentage of passes forward to Odegaard, and was in fact more efficient in terms of forward-pass accuracy. The numbers reflect a capacity to unlock opposition defences which could mitigate Odegaard's absence, at least to some extent, while providing another source of creativity from central midfield. Would others lose out? The arrival of Guimaraes would inevitably raise questions about some of Arsenal's other midfield options but is easy to see the logic behind their efforts to land a player of his quality. Last season, the distribution of midfield minutes was too heavily weighted towards Rice and Zubimendi, both of whom would benefit from a lighter load having played more than 4,000 minutes. Arsenal's overreliance on Rice and Zubimendi was partly due to injuries. Odegaard and Merino both had long spells on the sidelines, along with Kai Havertz, who can also play in midfield. But it also reflected Arteta's lack of trust in alternatives such as Christian Norgaard, who is expected to join Everton. Norgaard's exit would free up a space in the squad for Guimaraes but Arsenal may still have work to do to reduce numbers, with Ethan Nwaneri and Fabio Vieira having returned from their loan spells at Marseille and Hamburg respectively last season. Lewis-Skelly, meanwhile, may find himself bumped down the pecking order having finished last season as a midfield starter ahead of Zubimendi. But Arsenal played 63 games last term and will be targeting silverware on multiple fronts again. The level of rotation required in that context, and the potential for injuries and absences, should still allow opportunities for Lewis-Skelly in midfield. But the reality is that Guimaraes, valued at £80m by Newcastle, would not be arriving to play a supporting role.

The upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, launched 19 months ago before unintentionally veering towards the moon, is set to collide with an explosive impact equivalent to three tons of TNT. Space-tracking expert Bill Gray predicts an impact speed of 5,400mph - seven times the speed of sound - when the object hits near Einstein Crater on the moon's sunlit western limb. While NASA spokesperson Jimi Russell has said that "there is no danger to Earth" from the impact, eyes around the world will be looking for the moment the spacecraft crashes. When is it due to crash? We don't know the exact minute, but the collision is expected to take place at around 2.35am Eastern Time - so around 7.35am in the UK - on Wednesday morning. Even if it's dark out, the view of the impact flash will be too dim to see the moment of impact. However, it may be visible by telescope for tens of minutes. The eastern portions of the US and Canada, and much of South America, should have the best views. What do scientists expect will happen? Nothing catastrophic, but scientists say the moment of impact will be massive, carving out a crater and sending up a plume of dust and rubble. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and South Korea's Danuri lunar orbiter will gather before-and-after shots of the crash scene. Another scientist, Benjamin Fernando, from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, echoed this, saying: "The gravity on the moon is low and there is no wind to blow the dust away." In the aftermath, he anticipates an impact crater nearly 90ft (27m) across and 16ft (5m) deep - too small to see from Earth but visible to spacecraft. But both said that they aren't too concerned about the impact itself. See more from Sky News:Russia accused of 'barbaric war crime'The first solar eclipse in almost 30 years So what are they concerned about? Concerns are more about the amount of space debris in the Earth's orbit - where, as of July, the European Space Agency suggests there are more than one hundred million pieces of small objects. Mr Fernando said that "part of the reason for our interest in this event is to figure out how much of a hazard debris impacts pose to future astronauts". And Mr Gray added: "Things are getting crowded up there." Detritus from man-made objects falls from orbit on occasion In October last year, a burning piece of space debris that crashed to Earth was found by mine workers nearly 19 miles east of Newman, Western Australia. And last May, a car-sized piece of the Soviet rocket Cosmos 482 crashed back to Earth after 53 years in orbit. What do we know about the rocket? SpaceX's Falcon 9 is a partially reusable, two-stage rocket - with this specific rocket launched as part of a US and Japanese mission to carry a pair of lunar landers and scientific equipment to the moon last year. While the concept is to make the rocket reusable and returnable to Earth for future missions, part of the Falcon 9 is shed in orbit, where it remains, unless collided with. The part on track for the moon is the upper stage of the rocket - about the size of a five-storey building, with a weight on Earth of at least 4,000kg. Has this happened before? Yes, SpaceX's Falcon 9 will be the second dead rocket to crash into the moon by accident. The first came when a Chinese rocket segment dug out a pair of craters on the lunar far side in 2022. At the time, Mr Gray said it was likely the third stage of a Chinese rocket that sent a test sample capsule to the moon and back in 2014. Chinese ministry officials said the upper stage had reentered Earth's atmosphere and burned up. A 2023 study in the Planetary Science Journal said it found "conclusively" that the debris was from China's Long March 3C rocket from a 2014 lunar mission.

The 66-year-old died in a Middlesbrough hospital yesterday evening after a short illness. Liddle had written for The Sunday Times since 2005 and The Sun since 2011. He was also a weekly columnist at The Spectator and had a show on Times Radio. His three children said they were "very saddened and shocked at the sudden passing of our wonderful father". "Even in hospital in the last few weeks, he consistently held the room and never let the awful situation show," they added. They said he had left "a legacy that we are all incredibly proud of". Liddle was known for outspoken and often controversial columns that riled his critics. He previously edited Radio 4's flagship Today programme but was forced to resign in 2003 over a piece in The Guardian the BBC said had breached its impartiality rules. His current employers paid tribute to a man who was one of Britain's best-known journalists. Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive of News UK, called Liddle "an inimitable journalistic force - brilliant, provocative and immensely talented". She said he "challenged conventional thinking and left an indelible mark on British journalism". More tributes came from the editor of The Sunday Times, Ben Taylor, who said colleagues would "miss him desperately". Mr Taylor said Liddle "used his unique talent to speak for the readers, highlighting the cant and absurdity that bedevils modern life". The Sun's editor, Victoria Newton, said he was a champion of press freedom and a "brilliant, fearless columnist who was much loved by all at The Sun". Reform leader Nigel Farage also paid tribute, calling Liddle "one of the most prolific columnists Westminster has ever seen". Piers Morgan wrote on X that Liddle was a "true voice of common sense" and "one of Britain's most fearless, funny and fabulously entertaining journalists". Liddle grew up in southeast London and moved to Middlesbrough, where his father's family were from, when he was young. He got his first job in journalism at the South Wales Echo and later worked as a speechwriter for the Labour Party while also studying for a social psychology degree at LSE. He joined the BBC as a junior producer on the Today programme in 1988 and landed the editor's job a decade later. Liddle had a complaint upheld by the Press Complaints Commission in 2010 when he wrote that the "overwhelming majority" of violent crime in London was carried out by young Afro-Caribbean men. It was one of multiple accusations of misogyny and racism he faced while working for The Spectator.

Liddle later presented a programme about infidelity in which he argued men are pre-programmed to be unfaithful.

It comes after Prime Minister Andy Burnham responded to backlash to the plan, which was initiated by the Starmer administration with the goal of easing prison overcrowding, by putting it on pause and launching an "urgent review". Politics Hub: Follow the latest Mr Burnham has also delayed the start of the scheme from September to October and said he "wanted to go even further", but it was not possible without the prison system collapsing – putting the public "at much greater risk". He is also seeking to assure the public that offenders will face tighter community supervision, including new GPS monitoring for rapists to restrict movements. The policy has been controversial since the outset but returned to prominence earlier this month when it emerged a policeman's killers may be among those eligible for early release. PC Andrew Harper was killed in 2019 while responding to a quadbike theft in Berkshire. When teens Albert Bowers, Jessie Cole, and Henry Long tried to escape, his ankles got caught in a getaway car's towrope loop, and he was dragged along a country road for a mile. While Long, who was driving the vehicle, was jailed for 16 years for manslaughter and will not be eligible for early release, Bowers and Cole were jailed for 13 years for manslaughter and will be eligible to be freed under the scheme after serving half their sentences. PC Harper's widow, Lissie Harper, had called for the prime minister to intervene. In a statement on Monday night, she condemned the fact that two of her husband's killers remain eligible as an "utter betrayal". 'I will not be able to forgive' Ms Harper said: "What abhorrent message does this send? How dare ministers say the killing of a police officer is not enough of a 'sickening crime' that deserves the stiffest of punishments." Bowers and Cole had "robbed us of our future" and "should remain in jail", she added. "This is an utter betrayal – and it's one I will not be able to forgive or forget," she said. Thames Valley Police chief constable Jason Hogg also said he was "beyond disappointed", while Aileen O'Connor, chair of the Thames Valley Police Federation, said she was "absolutely outraged". PM: I wanted to go further The prime minister said public safety is his "top priority", and he understands the "anger, anxiety and distress that's been caused" by the early release scheme. Despite the announcement regarding rapists and child sex offenders, Mr Burnham said, "I know there will still be concerns about other offenders having their sentence shortened". "That's why we will also be introducing much tougher community measures," he said. "There will be a presumption that all offenders are tagged, longer periods of supervision and tough new rules, including restriction zones for offenders." Read more from Sky News:'Worrying decline' in adoptive familiesRacist abuse of NHS staff 'getting worse' The government has also announced a £10m package of support to provide better trauma-informed contact, with a new national helpline to contact all affected victims. Mr Burnham also hit out at the previous Tory governments for not having invested in the prison estate, with adult male prisons now at 98% capacity, and pledged "the fastest prison-building programme since the Victorian era". He has also asked Justice Secretary Alex Norris to look at how the UK can remove foreign offenders faster, review outdated Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentences, and free up space in women's prisons. How did we get here? Under changes in the Sentencing Act around 6,000 offenders were set to be freed in September after serving a third of their sentence – rather than half – as part of efforts to reduce overcrowding. Prisoners serving sentences of four years or more would be eligible for release at the halfway point of their term, rather than two-thirds. 'U-turn doesn't go far enough' The Conservatives had voted against the scheme and said the "U-turn" from Mr Burnham doesn't go far enough. Shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy said "the trauma of victims being told their abusers may be released can't be undone", while Reform UK branded the scheme "disgusting".

Spirit made 136-7 after being put in to bat, but Australian duo Phoebe Litchfield (30 from 17) and Annabel Sutherland (37 not out from 21) led the SunRisers home with two balls to spare.

In reply, Phoebe Litchfield and Bryony Smith also enjoyed themselves at the top of the order and it looked like SunRisers would chase the score down at a canter. However, three wickets in six balls to dismiss Litchfield, Smith and Lauren Winfield-Hill pulled the Spirit back into the contest with the hosts still requiring 78 from 59. SunRisers closed in on victory, but Gibson and Deepti Sharma fell to create some late drama. However, a flurry of shots from Jess Jonassen and Sutherland took the hosts close to the finish line before the latter's six gave them the win.
