Valentina Foster, seven, died along with her aunt Natalie McDonald, 34, in the blaze in Grangetown, near Middlesbrough, in the early hours of 26 August. Four others were injured. In a statement, Valentina's family said: "It is with overwhelming sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that our beloved daughter has passed away. "She was deeply loved and will be missed beyond words by her family, friends, and everyone whose life she touched. Our lives have changed forever, and we are struggling to come to terms with this devastating loss. "Our daughter will always be in our hearts, and her memory will live with us forever. "Forever missed by her brothers and sisters." Earlier on Tuesday, a man appeared in court charged with murder following the fire. Jaden Wright, 23, of no fixed address, appeared before Teesside Magistrates' Court for a hearing which lasted less than two minutes. Wright was remanded in custody to appear before Teesside Crown Court on Thursday. He faces two murder charges, two counts of grievous bodily harm with intent, and two charges of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent. The charges relate to the six people in the house, two of whom cannot be identified due to their age. Cleveland Police said on Friday that a 48-year-old woman was in the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle in a "critical but stable" condition, and a 27-year-old man was at James Cook University Hospital receiving treatment. Two teenage girls were both discharged after suffering non-life-threatening injuries. The clerk also said that Wright faced a separate charge of intentional strangulation relating to an alleged incident the day before the fire. After he was charged, Katie Smith, senior investigating officer from Northumbria Police, said: "This has been a truly tragic incident, and my thoughts remain with the families of all those involved. "I would like to thank local residents for their support and patience during this complex investigation." Katie Nicolson, chief crown prosecutor for CPS North East, added: "It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information which could in any way prejudice these proceedings." A 31-year-old man who was also arrested in connection with the case was released without charge on Sunday.

The country music star was reportedly buried alongside her late husband, Carl Dean, at Woodlawn Memorial Park And Mausoleum in Tennessee. The Jolene and 9 To 5 singer died aged 80 last week following a "brief battle with cancer". In a post about the funeral on Instagram Parton's great-niece, Lainey Parton, said: "This is a really hard post for me to make. I wanted to wait until after my granny was laid to rest yesterday before I tried to put any of this into words. "From the time I was little, my granny always had a way of making me feel like I was enough. She never made my dreams feel too big or made me feel like I couldn't do something. She believed in me before I even knew how to believe in myself. "Most people can think of at least one bad memory with everyone in their family. I honestly can't think of one with her. "Because she couldn't have kids of her own, she always made us feel like we were hers. She loved us that way, and I'll forever be grateful for that." Read more:From rags to rhinestones - farewell to the Queen of Country She went on to speak about appearing on Parton's album Smoky Mountain DNA: Family, Faith And Fables, saying it is a memory she will "always hold on to". She added: "She had a way of making me feel like nothing bad could happen. She made me feel safe, confident, and like I belonged right there beside her. "As I got older, she continued to believe in me. When I told her I wanted to go to beauty school, she never questioned why I wasn't going to college. She told me she couldn't see me doing anything else. She financially supported me through school and helped me get my career started. "She didn't just tell me to chase my dreams, she helped me get there. "I'm so thankful I said yes to the opportunities and memories I got to share with her as my Aunt Dolly, including being in a movie with her. I'm so glad I have those moments to look back on now. I have things I can watch, hear, and hold on to when I miss her." Lainey added that it "still doesn't feel real that she's gone", and said she would "miss her voice, her laugh, her hugs, and just knowing she was there", adding: "I'd give anything to see her name pop up on my phone again." She thanked fans for showing their support by sending messages and flowers. It comes after an airport in Nashville, Tennessee, proposed changing its name in honour of the singer. Since her death, Parton's music has re-entered the UK charts, including Jolene, which featured at number nine on Friday.

It follows a deadly collision near the town on 22 August, when the five occupants of a vehicle driving the wrong way down the A66 crashed into a police car, killing themselves along with two policemen. The two officers, PC Matthew Blades, 37, and PC Tom Clough, 38, were killed when the Volkswagen Passat hit their marked armed response vehicle. A police pursuit of the Volkswagen had been abandoned shortly before. The five young men who died in the other car may have had links to "serious and organised criminal activity", according to Cleveland Police. Shabana Mahmood made the announcement after Prime Minister Andy Burnham paid tribute to the two officers killed in the crash. As MPs returned to parliament on Tuesday, the prime minister told the Commons: "I know the whole House will wish to join me in expressing deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough, who were killed in the line of duty on the A66. "We will do our best to support the Middlesbrough community, which is hurting and grieving right now, and we hear the call from the members of this House representing it for a discussion about investment in policing and police numbers." Announcing plans to bolster Cleveland's policing resources, Ms Mahmood said: "I can also announce today, in light of the situation the force has faced, we will allocate an additional £2m to Cleveland Police to tackle serious crime in the area."

Conservative MP Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said the £2m uplift was "clearly wholly inadequate in the circumstances", pointing to a warning earlier this year by Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner Matt Storey that the force was facing a £2.4m funding shortfall. Speaking earlier this year, Mr Storey, a Labour police and crime commissioner, said the government's funding for the force "completely fails to deliver the resources required to meet the demand faced by Cleveland Police and falls far short of what is needed".

Sky Sports News also learned Everton have made an offer for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee. Ndiaye's City arrival comes after Liverpool rejected Manchester City's £80m bid for Cody Gakpo. Sky Sports News understands Liverpool were concerned about their chances of bringing in a replacement for the Dutchman. Manchester City wanted to sign a wide forward and a central midfielder before the window closes, with the club agreeing a joint-British record deal for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez on Deadline Day. City allowed Savio and Omar Marmoush to join Tottenham earlier this month, reducing Enzo Maresca's options on the wing. City did not name a winger on their bench in Friday's win over Crystal Palace and started with Phil Foden - who Enzo Maresca admitted is not a winger - out wide at Selhurst Park. Ndiaye: Man City perfect fit for me Ndiaye, who becomes Manchester City's seventh summer signing, said: "I've worked my whole life for an opportunity likethis. "City are one of the best clubs in the world and I've seen them win everything as I've grown up. "To be able to write my own chapter in a story that special is the chance of a lifetime and I'm determined to grab it with both hands. "It's not always been easy in my career, but I always had the belief that I could play for a team challenging for the biggest prizes, and now I'm here. It feels so good. "I love to play with the ball on the floor in an attacking team that wants to score as many goals as possible. That's why I know this is the perfect fit." Manchester City director of football Hugo Viana added: "Iliman is a very talented footballer. He's had to work incredibly hard to reach this level and in my first conversation with him it was immediately obvious how grounded he is and the determination he has to be the best player he can be. "I've no doubt City fans will get a thrill seeing him in action for us."

Police were called to an address in Holywell Heights on Sunday following reports of concern for the safety of a newborn. The infant was pronounced dead at the scene and seven people were arrested on suspicion of murder, aged between 15 and 38. Now a forensic post-mortem has determined that the baby girl died as a result of stab wounds, South Yorkshire Police said. Two of those arrested, aged 26 and 37, have since been bailed. Police officers are still carrying out an investigation in the Holywell Heights area. On Tuesday, a force spokesman confirmed a warrant had been obtained extending the length of time the other five people can be held in custody.

"Everyone involved in responding to this tragedy - from the first officers and paramedics on the scene to the detectives now leading the investigation - has felt the profound impact of this investigation. "Our commitment to this little girl is unwavering. We will confront every difficult and distressing challenge and pursue every line of enquiry with determination and care to secure justice for her." Police have asked anyone with information to get in touch.

The 65-year-old had been set to become the third living designer to be honoured by the museum. His retrospective had been due to run from May 2027 until January 2028, with the designer also chosen to be the theme of next year's Met Gala. But a month after the exhibition was announced, Galliano revealed he had pulled the retrospective. In a post on Instagram he wrote: "After much reflection and discussion with all those involved, I have decided, with great sadness, that it is best for the exhibition not to take place at this time. "I remain fully accountable for the pain caused by my words in the past, particularly the hurt I caused to the Jewish and Asian communities, and I remain deeply sorry. "I understand that meaningful atonement is not achieved through an exhibition, institutional recognition or a single public gesture. It is a continuing responsibility, demonstrated through listening, learning and one's conduct over time." He added: "I do not want the debate surrounding me to place the Met in a difficult position or to distract from the remarkable work of the Costume Institute. I also recognise and respect that an exhibition honouring my work would be painful for some." Galliano thanked those who have "guided, supported and accompanied" him throughout the last "15 years of sobriety and recovery from alcoholism and addiction". In a statement shared with Vogue, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's director and chief executive Max Hollein said: "Following thoughtful discussions with John Galliano, we have together decided not to proceed with the exhibition." Read more from Sky News:Body of woman found in park was inside a bin bag, police sayJared Kushner's brother breaks silence on World Cup sell-off plans A statement from Vogue global editorial director Dame Anna Wintour said Galliano's decision to ask the museum to postpone the exhibition was "very courageous and a measure of the man he is". She said: "I believe this is the right decision, and both he and the museum have my full support. His soaring imagination, fed by a lifetime of curiosity and research, is matched by his exceptional craft. "Cut, fit, the evocative line of a bias-cut dress, colour - he's a master of it all. Without one or the other, if his technique wasn't equal to his storytelling talents, he wouldn't be the premier couturier of his generation. But he most certainly is." Dame Anna said Galliano's impact "reverberates across generations". Galliano was convicted of a hate crime by a French court in 2011 for his public antisemitic comments after he harangued a couple sitting on a cafe terrace following a late-night drinking session in the upmarket Marais district. Footage emerged of a separate incident which appeared to show him abusing drinkers in a bar and telling them: "I love Hitler." The Dior creative director was sacked by the label in light of the "deeply offensive statements and conduct" contained in the video. He was later convicted of "public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity" stemming from the two separate incidents and handed a €6,000 (£5,000) suspended fine. The Met has not yet announced how it plans to replace the Galiano exhibit, which means the 2027 Met Gala currently does not have a theme.

Scotland's first minister revealed his plans for the parliamentary year and beyond in a keynote statement to MSPs at Holyrood on Tuesday. Highlights included: • The current 14 territorial health boards will be replaced with two strategic health boards. Mr Swinney described it as the "most significant structural reform of the NHS in the era of devolution". It is hoped the shake-up will help deliver additional capacity to ensure that by the end of 2031 no one is waiting more than 26 weeks for treatment. • A misogyny bill will be brought forward through parliament in a bid to tackle violence against women and girls. Mr Swinney branded it a "serious issue" as he pledged a new multi-year fund for specialist third sector organisations to help sustain vital services and deliver "critical preventative work". Enhanced protections will include recognising pregnancy as an aggravating factor in domestic abuse cases and a public health campaign to "challenge and to change problematic misogynistic attitudes in boys and young men". • The roll out of the £2 bus fare cap - which is currently in place in the Highlands and Islands - will be extended to Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire, Lanarkshire and Inverclyde from Monday. A national roll out is expected by the end of the parliament term. • Breakfast clubs will be available in all primary schools from August 2027. After-school and holiday provision for all primary pupils will also be available from August 2029. • The number of quangos in Scotland will be "substantially reduced" over the next five years, and there will be a "rebalancing of power" for the nation's 32 local authorities. • Mr Swinney pledged investment to deliver 111,000 affordable homes by 2032, with at least 70% available for social rent. • As well as an extra £100m for culture by the end of the 2028/29 financial year, the first minister also announced a plan for a pilot programme for a national Scottish artists' minimum income. • Bleed kits will be rolled out to community settings across the country as part of efforts to tackle youth knife crime and violence. • Mr Swinney reaffirmed his commitment to Scottish independence, but noted that Prime Minister Andy Burnham had "opened the door to new powers" for Holyrood. Mr Swinney said: "My commitment to the people of Scotland is clear. You come first. "Government works for you and we will always be alive to the realities of your day-to-day experience. "That is the starting point for this programme for government - a programme for government that will deliver more money in people's pockets, shorter waiting lists, more homes, easier access to GPs, action on the climate, public services fit for the future, decisive action on violence against women and girls. "These are the aims of a government that is ambitious for Scotland. The people of Scotland have put their trust in this government, and we will deliver what we have promised." Following the SNP leader's statement, Unite branded the health board plans a "slash and burn programme for the NHS". Sharon Graham, general secretary of the union, said the measures would "inevitably result in swingeing cuts and thousands of job losses across the public sector", as she warned that workers "will not be the collateral damage for the Scottish government's failings". Roz Foyer, general secretary of the Scottish Trades Union Congress, also said the proposal could be "more reckless than revolutionary". Scottish Rape Crisis Alliance (SRCA) welcomed the pledge to tackle violence against women and girls but called for urgent and sustained action. Claudia Macdonald-Bruce, of the SRCA, added: "After years of commitments, women and girls need to see meaningful change, not simply another set of promises. Enough is enough." Reform UK Scotland's leader Malcolm Offord said it was the "same old empty promises, just rebranded" as he accused the first minister of "rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic". Scottish Labour's acting leader Dame Jackie Baillie also said she had "heard many of these promises before". She added: "There are new NHS targets replacing those missed so far, familiar promises on new legislation and infrastructure projects, and lots of well-trod rhetoric - but delivery is what matters. "Warm words are no substitute for action and that is what needs to change in this government. "We need real action to improve our NHS, make life more affordable and help our communities and our economy flourish."
