It comes after a Sky News documentary, broadcast last year, investigated what happened on the Greek island of Zakynthos - also known as Zante - in May 2019. The film called The Punch showed failings in the Greek police's investigation after father and husband Matt Jeffery, 35, was punched and killed outside a nightclub called Sizzle in the party town of Laganas, popular with young British holidaymakers. Matt was on a stag do with friends when a fight broke out in the club between his friends from Somerset and a group they had never met before from Essex. CCTV shows that Matt and his friends left the club but were followed out. Matt was confronted by two men outside the club. Video filmed on a mobile phone shows one of them punching Matt, unprovoked - then a second blow, from the other man, was fatal. Matt's head hit the pavement, and he was airlifted to hospital on the Greek mainland, where he died five days later. Two men were arrested and charged but allowed to leave the island. They were later convicted in a Greek court in March 2023. Luke Brownsdon, accused of landing the fatal blow, was found guilty of causing fatal bodily harm with serious intent and given 12 years in jail; his accomplice was given 10 years - but both were absent at the trial. On Friday, the extradition of Brownsdon was ordered at Westminster Magistrates' Court. He has seven days to appeal the ruling. When Sky News began investigating in early 2025, both men were walking free in the UK. 👉 Listen to Sky News Daily on your podcast app 👈 Our documentary suggests the Greek police wrongly identified Brownsdon's accomplice, and it raised questions about how Brownsdon had been able to walk free two years after the guilty verdict. In April 2025, Brownsdon was arrested by officers from the National Extradition Unit. He has since been serving time in a British jail. Appearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court in June, Brownsdon appealed against extradition to Greece. The court heard that on arrest he had told Greek police he had "consumed alcohol and couldn't control his actions". However, Brownsdon claimed he did not have an interpreter in police interviews, did not have proper legal representation during the Greek trial and had not even known when it was happening. "I was left in the dark," he told the judge. He has since filed an appeal against his conviction and sentence, which will be considered in Greece in November. He also argued that because Greek prisons are overcrowded, the extradition would contravene Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. An expert told the court that the prison Brownsdon would be sent to in Patras was at 139% occupancy.

The test will be offered as part of the routine heel prick test already carried out on babies shortly after birth. It's part of an evaluation programme which will inform future recommendations on testing newborns by the UK National Screening Committee. The condition has been brought to national attention in part by singer and former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, who announced her twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, had been diagnosed with the condition at the start of this year. She has said their diagnosis means they are unlikely ever to be able to walk or regain their neck strength. Nelson welcomed the rollout, calling it "a day of hope". She said: "After years of campaigning, it means so much to see the heel prick test for SMA begin rolling out from October, with implementation continuing throughout 2027 until every newborn screening laboratory across the UK is offering the test. "Knowing that future families will have access to early diagnosis and the opportunity for the best possible outcomes is something I'm incredibly proud to have supported. "This is a victory for every family affected by SMA. Whilst it can't change the future of our children, I know it marks the beginning of a brighter future for future SMA families. Every baby's life matters." 'A hugely important step forward' Nelson has previously called the screening study "a postcode lottery," flagging that it would "only cover 72% of England". In an Instagram post last month, she said: "That means some babies won't be screened simply because of where they live. A postcode lottery like that just isn't fair." Speaking to Sky News' The UK Tonight With Sarah-Jane Mee earlier this year, Nelson said she had taken the twins to the GP three times because they weren't feeding properly but was told: "They are absolutely fine". She said it was her mum who finally recognised the signs, eventually leading them to a diagnosis and treatment. Health Secretary James Murray said: "No parent should have to watch their child lose the ability to move or breathe, knowing that earlier treatment could have made all the difference." Giles Lomax, chief executive officer of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) UK, said: "We are delighted to see the confirmation that the remaining six screening laboratories will begin screening from October 2027. This demonstrates a clear commitment to making newborn screening available across England. "No family should face a postcode lottery when it comes to a condition where every day without treatment can lead to irreversible loss of motor neurons." Aoife Regan, director of impact and charitable programmes at Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, said: "Early diagnosis can be life-changing. With effective treatments now available, identifying SMA before symptoms appear gives babies the best chance of timely treatment and can help prevent irreversible disease progression. "At Great Ormond Street Hospital, teams provide specialist and wraparound care for children with SMA and their families following what is often a devastating diagnosis. Screening has the potential to transform that journey for future families." Babies in Scotland have been offered the test since March. What is SMA? SMA is a rare genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and loss of movement and can affect a child's ability to breathe and swallow. It can leave babies unable to sit up, crawl or walk. It's estimated that around 70 babies are born with the condition each year in the UK, with SMA often grouped into types based on the age at which symptoms begin and how it affects sitting, standing and walking. According to the NHS, around 1,150 people in England are living with SMA types one, two, or three. There is currently no cure for SMA, but early treatment can delay the progressive nature of the illness and help children live longer.

That he chose to spend his last full day as his party's leader in Kyiv – he will be back in London shortly before Andy Burnham succeeds him later – is befitting of a prime minister who saw resetting Britain's place on the world stage as one of his crowning achievements. Burnham to become Labour leader - follow live For Starmer, Ukraine has been of particular importance. He, together with Emmanuel Macron, set up the Coalition of the Willing to support Ukraine as the US stepped back and the EU struggled to step up and lead the charge due to divisions in the bloc. For a prime minister wanting to secure his legacy before being booted out of office after just two years, there was a point in making a trip to Kyiv his final public act. Do allies fear change of leadership? When Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the gardens of the presidential palace in the centre of Kyiv, awarded Starmer Ukraine's Order of Freedom, the PM looked close to tears. It was his second international honour of the week after he was given the Legion d'honneur following a final summit of the Coalition of the Willing in Paris on Monday. Starmer might not have been much liked at home, but among these leaders, he has been an ally and friend, and there is trepidation as he leaves. Zelenskyy, when I asked him about these concerns about a new prime minister at the news conference in the gardens of the presidential palace, admitted that, of course, he was "afraid" of a change of leadership. Starmer, for his part, insisted that while he was standing down, the UK's support for Ukraine would endure. "I would not have said what I said to President Zelenskyy, which is really important, if I wasn't confident about what I was saying," he told me when I asked him if he had assurances from Andy Burnham about support for Ukraine. "I believe Ukraine will win this war." This was his final act as PM, and our conversation on the stands of a football ground where war veterans had been playing a match was his final interview as prime minister. Starmer did not want to leave office and had insisted, even days before he announced he was standing down, that he would fight on. Instead, having taken the party to victory in 2024, he is being turfed out of office after two years, with a party convinced that he is a winner no more. He could be forgiven for feeling bitter, aggrieved, angry. But the Starmer I encountered in our interview was none of those. He seems to have come to terms, for now, with his fate, clear that while it was not what he wanted, his party had decided that he was not the right leader to take them into the next general election, and he had accepted that with "good grace". Rejected by the party, he took the decision to end his own political career rather than fight a bloody leadership battle (which he would almost certainly have lost) and step down. He told me he took that decision with just his wife Vic and their children, and he did it because it was in the best interests of the country. 'I go with pride' But where he is impervious is around his own record. If his downfall was brought about through a toxic mix of bad decision-making – sending Peter Mandelson to Washington; cuts to winter fuel; poor party management (see welfare reform); the boys' club briefings; and an inability to set out a clear vision, how many resets were there? - and a beating at the ballot box in the local elections; he was not here to admit that. "I go with pride," he said as he told me he had "saved the Labour Party" and made it electable again. I did do enough to prepare for office (his former chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, said the opposite last week) and set the groundwork for Burnham to go on and win the next general election, he insisted. Read more from Sky News:Under-16s to be banned from buying energy drinksEleven children killed in orphanage fire On the other side of the coin, his political career ends in failure. He had a landslide and a five-year term that he lost because he lost the backing of his party. For a politician who admits he "hates losing to anyone", this must be very painful. It is perhaps too soon after the drama of his downfall for Starmer to talk more openly about what he regrets and where he went wrong. But where he did open up more was when it came to his family, as he gave a very open and honest account of the toll the job has taken on his wife and his kids. "Through every step she (Vic) has been with me, the good, the bad... the really low moments, when somebody tried to burn our family house down, when my brother died, and the last few months, which haven't been easy." He told me that his two teenage children, who have grown up with their father at the top of British politics, want him back, and he clearly means it when he says he takes comfort in swapping the biggest job in Britain for the most important one – being a husband to his wife Vic and a dad to his two teenage kids. It is the side of Starmer – be it joking at PMQs on Wednesday or talking so openly about the choices he made and his motivations – that we haven't seen so much during his years as PM, and it is perhaps a side of him that might have garnered a more sympathetic hearing from a public and a party that have rejected him. He was, after all, a hugely successful election winner who struggled in office. But as he leaves Ukraine and returns home, Starmer will hope that history will judge him more kindly than his party did.

Tuchel has been heavily criticised in the aftermath of the semi-final loss in Atlanta, accused of negative tactics which turned the game in Argentina's favour, and turned a 1-0 lead into a 2-1 defeat. Neville: I won't lump in on Tuchel - England have had same issues for yearsThomas Tuchel vows to stay on as criticism of England's tactics mountsHow Thomas Tuchel's changes spectacularly backfiredReport | As it happened | Teams | Stats | Knockout bracket But now, the head coach has chimed back, saying that it wasn't his formation that was wrong in Atlanta; the problem instead is a weakness in the English football "DNA" which means the players struggle to keep possession when under pressure. "In this moment my feeling was no structure in the world could have helped us," Tuchel said. "Because actually we were too passive and we were not physical enough, we didn't stop runners arriving in our box and the deliveries were wrong too. "I haven't seen the data yet, but I think just right after the goal the momentum swings completely and ball possession drops dramatically. We couldn't find any duels anymore; that's why we dropped deeper and deeper. It was never the plan, but it happened. "[We] couldn't stop the runners from the second line, the midfielders, through our gaps, and the deliveries were on the highest level. You need to get back on the ball; otherwise you cannot break the pressure, and you cannot get the momentum back. "I think ball possession plays a crucial role; it's maybe not in our DNA like it is in our Spanish DNA or in our Argentinian-Brazilian DNA, to take the ball and control the game with the ball." One of England's best players in tight spaces is Kobbie Mainoo, who hasn't played a single minute at this tournament. And Tuchel decided to leave arguably England's most technically gifted footballer, Phil Foden, out of his World Cup squad altogether. Tuchel is adamant that switching to a back five with more than 30 minutes still to play when England were a goal up was not a negative step. Seventeen minutes after Anthony Gordon's goal, he was substituted for Ezri Konsa. Tuchel says that should have helped his players deal with the increased threat he was seeing from Argentina. "We just get too passive within our structure and try to help. Not to help in a back five, to become more passive, but actually to be more active, to be quicker out to the wingers, to not open up the gaps in between the back four. We encourage everyone to step out and to be more active within the structure, but we just struggle." England have clocked up more air miles than any other team at the World Cup, covering 14,365 miles in five weeks. Tuchel says that, together with the extreme conditions at the tournament, also took its toll on the players. "We struggled a bit physically as well, I think, over the whole tournament, playing in the heat, playing at an altitude, playing with a man down and so on. It cost us in the end a lot." Nevertheless, Tuchel says he has seen enough from the players to believe that they can still win a major tournament whilst he is in charge. Sky Sports News understands the FA are not considering Tuchel's position and as of now, he is set to be in charge for Euro 2028 after signing a two-year contract extension before the World Cup, and he says his appetite for the job has not diminished. "One hundred per cent, and there's still enough to improve, still enough to improve and I'm more than happy to do that. "I still think we can impose ourselves more on the ball, I still think we can still show how good football players we are. I think it's still in us because I see it in training in every camp and here also in the World Cup and I still feel there is an extra level that we need to conquer and we need to step up on the next level and then to get the big prize." Is DNA really the problem? England's 2014 DNA philosophy set out a blueprint for developing future national teams from youth level upwards. Built around five pillars-identity, playing style, player development, coaching and support-it aimed to create technically gifted, tactically intelligent, physically resilient and psychologically strong players. The framework promoted possession-based, adaptable football, consistent coaching methods, pride in representing England and multidisciplinary support through sports science, psychology, analysis and nutrition. Sky Sports News' Rob Dorsett: "There is a fair comment that England's players, when they are under pressure, don't keep the ball well enough. "It's ironic that Tuchel has used the phrase 'England's DNA' - It's exactly the phrase that Dan Ashworth, England's Chief Football Officer, used all those years ago. "If you look at the FA's 'DNA' - a plan that they introduced in 2014 about how England's teams would play from junior football, right through to the senior team - they addressed the England DNA 12 years ago. "One of two things has happened here. Either the DNA programme has completely failed, I'm not convinced that it has, or Thomas Tuchel is wrong; they can't both be true." Why wasn't Mainoo picked and do England have a midfield problem? Analysis from Sky Sports' Peter Smith: It's a familiar manner of exit for England with a familiar problem at the heart of it: England don't have midfield players who can control a football match. Or at least, they don't have any Tuchel was willing to select. What was the point of taking Kobbie Mainoo to this World Cup? He hasn't got on for a single minute. The 21-year-old - a starter in the Euro 2024 final, don't forget - played a key role in Man Utd's upturn in form in the second half of the Premier League season. Among midfield regulars, only Spain and Man City star Rodri had a better passing accuracy in the opposition half than Mainoo during that period. How England could have done with some of that composure in the final half an hour against Argentina, when they gave up possession and territory to try to hang on. Against Mexico, even with the caveat of having a man less, and against Norway, England were unable to get on the ball and keep it to ease the pressure on their backline. Elliot Anderson and Declan Rice were understandably first-choice for this tournament, but Tuchel turned to Reece James, Jordan Henderson, Jude Bellingham, Eberechi Eze and Morgan Rogers when replacements were required in the centre of the pitch ahead of Mainoo. If Mainoo isn't his man, then that's the coach's call. But unless Tuchel can find a solution in midfield to England's age-old problem, he'll go on getting the same outcomes.Peter Smith

The family of the New Zealand actor announced his "sudden and unexpected" death at a Sydney hospital on Monday aged 78, prompting tributes to flood in from around the world. Neill, who was best known for his starring roles in the dinosaur franchise and The Piano but appeared in more than 50 films during his career, had been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer called angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma in 2022. After taking a short break from his acting career, which saw him become one of New Zealand's most successful Hollywood exports, Neill announced in April that he was cancer-free. His agent Philip Grenz said he was sharing the cause of death with the permission of Neill's family and following reports "which contain inaccuracies and outright falsehoods". "Sam passed away from pneumonia," Mr Grenz said on Thursday. "Prior to becoming sick, Sam had valiantly fought and beaten lymphoma through a new treatment called CAR-T therapy." CAR-T therapy is a form of immunotherapy based on an individual's T cells and is used for several types of blood cancer. He said Neill had filmed four projects "back-to-back" during the past year that are due to be released in the coming months. "As Sam was an intensely private man who loathed a fuss, his family will honour him with a private family memorial at his farm in New Zealand at a still-undetermined later date," he said. Neill, who was born in Northern Ireland, has been celebrated as one of the most talented and versatile actors of his generation, who traversed Hollywood blockbusters and art house dramas. Since his death was announced, tributes have continued to flow for the actor, from prime ministers to film industry giants. Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two Jurassic Park films, said: "Sam was exceptionally collaborative". "I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him. "Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world." In her tribute, Dern said: "Sam was my beloved lifetime friend… He showed me the depths of loyalty, protectiveness and love, always with the driest of wit. He was a true and noble gentleman, wrapped up in my dream leading man. I will love you forever, Dr Alan Grant." Goldblum said: "The next great adventure begins. Love, always and forever." Filmmaker Taika Waititi, who directed Neill in one of his best-loved New Zealand films Hunt For The Wilderpeople, penned an Instagram tribute on Wednesday. "So long, my dear friend. You are so loved and will be sorely missed by us all," he said. "Even though you didn't even remember it, I still think your best work is when you explain space travel by poking a pen through a piece of paper in Event Horizon (also the awesome eyes bit), and playing the antichrist, Damien Thorn, in Omen 3. I'm not sure what other roles you did, but whatever." He added "Love you and see you soon, sweet Nigel", in a reference to Neill's birth name, which he said he had changed to Sam at school because there were too many Nigels in his class.

Following breakthrough roles in low-budget 1977 New Zealand film Sleeping Dogs and the 1979 Australian film My Brilliant Career, he went on to find blockbuster fame in 1993 hit Jurassic Park, as palaeontologist Dr Alan Grant. In more recent years, Neill won acclaim for his portrayal of the ruthless and corrupt senior police officer Chester Campbell in Peaky Blinders. Neill, who was married twice, divided his later years between Australia and his vineyard in New Zealand's Central Otago, which produced wine under the label Two Paddocks. He is survived by his two sons and two daughters.

It will be illegal to sell energy drinks containing more than 150mg of caffeine per litre to anyone under 16 across all retailers, including online, in shops, restaurants, and cafes. Politics latest: Zelenskyy 'afraid of changes' as Starmer bows out Energy drinks will also be banned from all vending machines, to prevent under-16s from buying them there. One energy drink can contain the same amount of caffeine as two coffees or four cans of coke, with up to a third of children in the UK consuming at least one energy drink every week, particularly boys. Tea, coffee, and lower-caffeine soft drinks - such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi - are not affected. But drinks that currently breach the limit and would be part of the ban include Red Bull, Monster, Relentless, and Prime. They already carry warnings stating they are not recommended for children. Major supermarkets have already voluntarily stopped sales of the drinks to youngsters, but the Department of Health said research suggests some smaller convenience stores are still selling them to children. The ban will be enforced by trading standards. Public health minister Sharon Hodgson said: "We know about the damage to young people: affecting their sleep, their concentration in class, their behaviour." The government confirmed their intent to implement a ban last autumn and launched a 12-week consultation. Hodgson said ministers had heard "from so many parents and teachers across the country, they see the difference when the kids are 'wired' when they're on these high caffeine energy drinks, but it was perfectly legal. "Well now we're empowering parents and teachers and shopkeepers to say 'no, you don't have to sell these to children under 16 anymore, they're banned'." Labour committed in their 2024 manifesto to banning the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to under-16s, as well as banning the advertising of junk food to children. Theresa May's Conservative government also ran a consultation on banning the sale of energy drinks for children in 2018, although a ban was never implemented. An estimated 100,000 children in England drink high-caffeine energy drinks. Some energy drinks have gained popularity among young people in recent years, with sales of the viral drink Prime skyrocketing after being promoted by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul.

Sky Sports News understands there have been no club-to-club talks between Arsenal and Villa yet but interest in Rogers is set to intensify following England's World Cup exit and after a £34m deal for Christos Tzolis was agreed. Rogers' transfer is expected to cost more than £100m given the deals that have already been done in this window for midfielders such as Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali. Unai Emery's side have made it clear they do not want to sell Rogers and they are in a strong negotiating position after the forward signed a new contract, running until 2031, last November. Why Arsenal have made Rogers their top targetTransfer Centre LIVE! | Arsenal news & transfers🔴⚪Arsenal fixtures & scoresChoose the Sky Sports push notifications you want! 🔔 Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the forward. The 23-year-old scored 14 goals and added 11 assists in 55 appearances for Villa last season. Since joining from Middlesbrough in a deal worth £16m in 2024, Rogers has quickly risen from young prospect to a fully fledged England international, with 21 caps to his name already. He made five of those appearances during the 2026 World Cup and provided the assist to Anthony Gordon during England's semi-final defeat to Argentina. Analysis: Can Rogers actually be a left winger? Sky Sports' Sam Blitz: Given Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze are also at the club, Arsenal are thinking of Rogers as a wide option. With Tzolis on his way to and Leandro Trossard departing, Mikel Arteta is looking to improve their left-hand side this summer and trying to get the England man as part of that change. But after making a name for himself as an attacking midfielder, which also saw him challenge Jude Bellingham for England's No 10 spot, is actually he a left winger? The numbers would suggest that he can turn out in that role without a problem. Last season, around 45 per cent of his Premier League minutes for Villa came as a left winger. Unai Emery's fluid system behind Ollie Watkins involved other attacking midfielders in Emiliano Buendia and John McGinn, so Rogers got his fair share of experience out wide. Rogers has ultimately proven to be a very flexible player during his career. He was a winger at Lincoln City, was occasionally used as a false nine and centre-forward option at Middlesbrough - and also turned out as a right winger in England's World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina, where he assisted Anthony Gordon's goal. At 23, Rogers is still at an age where he can still be coached into new skills and attributes. So there should be no reason why the England international cannot make that left-wing spot his own. Arsenal remain interested in Alvarez - but deal is difficult Arsenal remain interested in Julian Alvarez but a deal looks difficult to do, especially given the family's preference to remain living in Spain and Alvarez's wish to join Barcelona. Another forward Arsenal retain an interest in is PSG's Bradley Barcola, along with Liverpool. Again, there has been no club-to-club contact between Arsenal and PSG - but the conditions of a deal have been explored. PSG do not want to sell Barcola but his future is one to keep an eye on depending on the moves PSG make in the window. They have been actively trying to sign winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig and also have interest in Alvarez and Rogers.
