Digwa was handed a life sentence with a minimum of 21 years in prison for stabbing Mr Nowak with a ceremonial knife with a 21cm blade that he claimed he carried as part of his Sikh religion. He had previously been investigated by police in 2023 on suspicion of stealing ceremonial blades from a Sikh temple in Southampton, but no further action was taken. Digwa falsely accused Mr Nowak of launching a racist attack, which led to the 18-year-old student being handcuffed as he lay dying from stab wounds. The case sparked outrage amid claims the police had disbelieved Mr Nowak when he told them he had been stabbed, because he was white. Solicitor General Ellie Reeves KC applied for the prison term given to 23-year-old Digwa to be reconsidered under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. She said: "This case horrified me, and I know that feeling is shared by the British public. It is right that difficult questions need to be answered about the way the police handled Henry's Nowak's murder, while my role is to review Digwa's sentence for his crimes. "After careful consideration, I have taken the decision to refer this case to the Court of Appeal. "No sentence can ever undo the devastation that Henry's family have suffered, or fill the void left by his loss. But I hope this referral goes some way towards bringing them the justice they deserve." This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

His family said in a statement: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Roger Cook, who died peacefully on Saturday after a short illness. "Alongside a distinguished and award-winning career in journalism, Roger was first and foremost a beloved husband and father. "He will be deeply missed by all of us, and we ask for privacy as we navigate this difficult loss." A New Zealand-born British journalist, Cook joined ITV in 1985, launching the eponymous The Cook Report two years later. The most popular current affairs programme on television at the time, with an audience of up to 10 million, it ran for 16 series and more than 120 episodes over 12 years, as Cook pursued criminals, conmen and corrupt officials. The show was fearless in its pursuit of justice - exposing child pornography, Northern Ireland protection rackets, baby trading in Brazil and the illicit ivory trade. It also tackled illegal immigration, war criminals in Bosnia, those behind 9/11 and other terrorist plots, as well as the Russian black market in weapons-grade plutonium. Broken ribs in the pursuit of justice Cook was injured many times in the course of making his programme and exposing wrongdoing, including suffering three broken ribs after confronting a Brighton antique dealer over his sale of fake antiques. More than just compelling TV, his programmes had a real-world effect, with a number of his investigations followed by successful police prosecutions or major changes in the law. Cook won a Bafta Television special award for the show in 1998. Starting his journalism career in Australia, he moved to London in 1968 to join BBC Radio 4's The World At One programme as a reporter and presenter. He later created and presented his BBC Radio 4 show Checkpoint, which ran from 1973 to 1985 and would lead the way to The Cook Report, which shared a similar format. A Spitting Image puppet and spoof from Sir Stephen Fry Cook's cultural impact was reflected in parodies from Benny Hill and Reeves and Mortimer, his own Spitting Image puppet, and nods on BBC Radio 4 and Channel 4, in dramas with investigative journalists inspired by him played by Sir Stephen Fry and Tony Slattery, respectively. In 2007, Cook revisited some of his most famous stings in a 90-minute special titled Roger Cook's Greatest Hits, during which he admitted he had received death threats due to the series. A statement from ITV, which launched his groundbreaking show The Cook Report in 1987, said: "In a career spanning an incredible five decades, Roger Cook's groundbreaking approach to investigative journalism made him one of broadcasting's most trusted and respected figures. "On his eponymous current affairs programme, The Cook Report, Roger worked tirelessly to expose criminal wrongdoing and injustice, helping to drive important and lasting changes in the law. "His fearless contribution to journalism will long be remembered, and we send our deepest sympathies and condolences to his wife, family and friends at this difficult time."

How is Keir Starmer planning to play this week? It is a week which could end with Andy Burnham back in parliament. We know the prime minister's got a social media ban for under-16s to announce today and a G7 summit to attend. But Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy discuss what else is on his mind, particularly after the resignation of John Healey as defence secretary - and whether a stubborn attitude is the right way to be. They also have word on who's back advising the PM. The full list of candidates standing in the Makerfield by-election can be found here.

Hamilton drove superbly in a high tyre wear race to take his first Grand Prix victory since his last triumph for Mercedes in July 2024, with George Russell taking second from Lando Norris in the first all-British podium since 1968. Mercedes had no answer to Hamilton as the Ferrari driver capitalised on the fortunate timing of a mid-race Virtual Safety Car and used his tyre prowess to become the seventh oldest race-winner in F1 history at 41 years old.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Smart decision making from Ferrari to effectively undercut Russell at the second round of pit stops, coupled with Hamilton's driving, provided the opportunity to win and the seven-time world champion took it by running away in the last part of the Grand Prix on fresher tyres. An emotional Hamilton said on the radio: "You've helped me achieve this dream and I can't thank you enough. Thanks for everyone pushing so hard back at home. "I'm so proud of you. To my family, I love you. To my fans, thank you for continuing to remind me who I am. I couldn't have done this without you." Hamilton's 106th career F1 win means he's 41 points behind Antonelli in the Drivers' Championship after the Mercedes driver retired with four laps remaining as his car shut down when running in second. Antonelli had just overtaken team-mate Russell after a dicey battle but the latter closes his championship deficit to 50 points. Norris, who, like Russell, has failed to score points at the last two Grands Prix, claimed his second podium of the season as McLaren had a more competitive showing than the last two rounds. Charles Leclerc suffered a late steering issue when on course for a top five result as his disappointing run of form continued. Max Verstappen finished 40 seconds behind Hamilton on his way to fourth with Red Bull team-mate Isack Hadjar in sixth, behind McLaren's Oscar Piastri in fifth. Alpine enjoyed their third double points result of the season with Pierre Gasly in seventh and Franco Colapinto in 10th. Colapinto had crossed the line in eighth but was given a 10-second time penalty for failing to slow down under yellow flags which puts him behind Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad. How Hamilton and Ferrari combination beat Mercedes Mercedes had won all six Grands Prix this season prior to Sunday and were favourites to maintain their 100 per cent record on Sundays as high tyre wear was expected - an area which has not been an issue so far in 2026. The start was rather tame as the top five of Russell, Hamilton, Antonelli, Norris and Verstappen remained in their qualifying positions. It looked like Russell may cruise away but Ferrari decided to go on the front foot by pitting Hamilton, who started on softs with the Mercedes on mediums, relatively early on Lap 12. This forced Russell and Antonelli to pit earlier than planned so they did lose track position. With the front-runners on the hards, Ferrari went aggressive again by pitting Hamilton for a second time on Lap 28 and this time Mercedes were happy for Russell to be undercut by his former team-mate. This proved to be a crucial moment. While Hamilton was flying on new medium tyres, Russell started to struggle with his tyres and came under threat from Antonelli, with Norris not too far behind. Russell and Antonelli pitted on Lap 37 and 38 respectively to begin their second-half chase of Hamilton but, on Lap 41, Fernando Alonso stopped at the side of the track which caused a Virtual Safety Car. It could not have come at a better time for Hamilton as he was able to pit and come out in the lead as he lost less time on his rivals by pitting during a VSC compared to green flag conditions. That meant he had track position and fresher hard tyres than the Mercedes for the remainder of the race, which allowed him to power away to one of his most famous victories in F1. "A huge grazie to everyone here. My team here at Ferrari, everyone back at the factory. Fred [Vasseur] for believing in me and bringing me to this team," said Hamilton. "I started out a dream which seemed almost impossible during my time last year but we never gave up hope and the team continued to lift me up. We made so many changes and we made so many improvements. "On top of that, I have got the greatest fanbase a sportsman could ever ask for and so thank you to everybody." He added: "I watched Ferrari have all that success when I was younger, watching it on TV. "And as I've been racing here [in F1], I'd always watched the screens and wondered what it would be like to win in that car - and it's come." Behind Hamilton, Russell started to lose time to Antonelli again and the Italian took advantage with a brave move down the inside into Turn One on his team-mate with five laps remaining. But, Antonelli came to a halt just one lap later with another Mercedes suspected power unit problem in what could be a decisive moment in the title race on a day Hamilton reminded everyone why he's still one of F1's top drivers.

Ukrainian Roman Lavrynovych, 22, and Romanian Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, acted on the orders of a Russian-speaking Telegram contact called "El Money", the Old Bailey heard. A Toyota RAV4, which once belonged to the prime minister, was set alight in Kentish Town, north London, in the early hours of 8 May last year. On 11 May, a fire was started at the door of an Islington flat, where Sir Keir had previously lived, while his constituency home was attacked on 12 May 2025. The prime minister's sister-in-law, Judith Alexander, who moved in after Sir Keir entered Downing Street, told how she heard bangs and saw smoke as her partner and daughter slept. Prosecutors said the arson attacks were "planned and directed" by their contact known only as "El Money", who promised to pay Lavrynovych £3,000 in cryptocurrency. The Russian-speaking mastermind behind the attacks aimed to strike "fear" into the prime minister and cause "unrest" across the country, commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) London, said. Construction worker Lavrynovych claimed he had been threatened by the shadowy figure, who demanded that the fires were filmed and on the news. Carpiuc, who had a short-lived modelling career, said he had been drinking in a pub in Notting Hill at the time of the attacks. Carpiuc, from Romford, east London, and Lavrynovych, from Sydenham, southeast London, had denied conspiracy to damage property. Lavrynovych also denied damaging two properties by fire with intent to endanger life or being reckless as to whether life was endangered. Read more from Sky News:Sky News Insider: Podcasts launching todayMan, 44, arrested nine years after woman shoved in front of bus Lavrynovych and Carpiuc were found guilty of plotting to damage property after a jury deliberated for seven-and-a-half hours. Co-defendant Petro Pochynok, 35, was cleared of the same charge. Lavrynovych was also convicted of damaging two properties by fire being reckless as to whether life was endangered on 11 May and 12 May last year. Mr Justice Garnham remanded the defendants into custody to be sentenced on Friday. Ms Flanagan of CTP London, following the convictions, said there was nothing to indicate the shadowy Telegram contact was a "state threat". But she added: "I think the intention of the defendants was clearly to take payment, and to carry out a crime for money. "There was no ideological motivation around that, and there's no evidence to suggest that they knew who they were targeting, and that that was the prime minister or properties linked to the prime minister. "However, clearly the intention from the online tasker was to create fear, both for the victim and the prime minister, and cause uncertainty, unrest, for the UK." In the wake of the attacks, "El Money" encouraged Lavrynovych to flee. He said: "Look, you attacked the home of a very high-ranking person in Britain. I'll send you money, you need to leave the city. "If the police detain you, secretly write the word, 'geranium' and I'll send a lawyer to you, I'll give you money for a week and a new phone. We won't be in touch for a week." Lavrynovych was charged on 15 May last year, just days after the attacks. Carpiuc was stopped two days later at Luton Airport as he waited for a flight to Romania. Following the verdicts, Frank Ferguson, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "These were deliberate and dangerous acts of arson carried out against properties and a vehicle linked to the prime minister, and they posed a serious risk to life. "Such offences go beyond damage to property - they are intended to intimidate and undermine public confidence, and that will not be tolerated. "Today's convictions demonstrate that those who commit criminal acts, including acts of arson, to pursue their, or others' agendas, will be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted robustly."

The city's military fire department says one of the helicopters crashed in a car dealership where several electric vehicles were parked, igniting a fire which was later extinguished. Officials say an investigation is under way into the cause of the collision. Police say 32-year-old Tree, an alternative singer and internet personality, was on the list of passengers handed to aviation authorities, but the bodies of those killed in the crash have yet to be identified. Tyre repair worker Fernandes de Freitas told local media he saw one of the helicopters in flames following the collision and noticed one of the passengers had jumped out of the other aircraft before hitting the ground. "It was terrifying, absolutely horrifying," De Freitas said. Tree was in Brazil as part of a world tour when the crash occurred, where he was due to play more than 70 shows across 30 countries. He had performed in Buenos Aires on 4 June and published a video on Saturday playing football in a local neighbourhood of Rio. The other names on the list of passengers were Argentine YouTuber Gaspar Prim, known online as "Gaspi", a Brazilian producer and an Argentine film director, along with the pilots of both helicopters. Read more on Sky News:Three dead after Royal Navy helicopter crashes into Devon fieldHelicopter crash in Borneo, Indonesia, kills eight Internet personality KSI and judge on ITV's Britain's Got Talent paid tribute to Tree on his social media, posting a series of pictures of the two together. "Can't believe I'm actually having to type this. You're 32 man. You should still be here. You still had so much life to live. So much music to make. So much content to make. You're a legend and will always be a legend. Still doesn't feel real. Genuinely feel sick. I love you bro," said KSI, accompanied by a love heart emoji. Tree was known for songs including Life Goes On, Miss You, Alien Boy and Voices, the latter of which he sang alongside KSI. Miss You, in which he featured as the main artist along with German producer Robin Schulz, was nominated for Best International Song at the 2024 Brit Awards. The track peaked at Number 3 in the UK singles chart, and No 4 in the Australian charts. His debut album, Ugly Is Beautiful, peaked at Number 14 in the US album charts and Number 42 in the UK charts. Tree also has a Guinness World Record for the largest kick scooter, measuring at 4.16m tall and 3.13m long.

The Conservative leader offered her party's support to get the necessary legislation through parliament in a letter to the prime minister, as well as to his possible successors. It comes after John Healey and Al Carns resigned from their respective roles as defence secretary and armed forces minister over the long-delayed defence investment plan (DIP) In her letter, Ms Badenoch told the prime minister it was "time to get serious". She said: "We cannot have our military inadequately funded at a time of growing threats. The funding must also not be backloaded when the pressures are urgent. "I have made several offers to work with you in the national interest to reduce benefit spending so we can invest more in our defence. Sir Tony Blair, the longest-serving Labour prime minister, has urged you to accept them," she wrote. "Since the Parliamentary defeat of your modest attempt at welfare reform in the summer of last year, it is obvious that your left-wing MPs will not support any real attempt to cut the welfare bills. Therefore, the support of the Conservatives will be critical to delivering substantive reforms that will reduce the benefits bill." Ms Badenoch had also sent the letter to Mr Carns, as well as Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting, Catherine West, Darren Jones and Ed Miliband. Mr Carns has signalled he would take part in any leadership contest. "If someone fires a starting pistol, I'm not afraid of gunfire," he told Times Radio. Read more on Sky News:Military chief writes to PM amid worry over defence spending planDefence spending plan delay has 'undermined UK's credibility' A Downing Street spokesperson says the prime minister spoke to NATO secretary general Mark Rutte earlier on Saturday about the DIP. "The NATO secretary general welcomed the UK's increased investment in defence as an important contribution to the Alliance and to meeting the threats we face," they said. The prime minister also reiterated his aim to raise defence spending to three per cent of GDP in the next parliament, and that national security remains the government's top priority. The spokesperson also confirmed Sir Keir would publish the DIP before next month's NATO summit in Ankara.

'The Gypsy King', who is poised to fight Anthony Joshua in a long-awaited bout later this year, made an appearance at UFC Freedom 250. At a press conference, Zuffa Boxing president White was asked if Fury's presence was a sign he would sign a shock deal with the promotion company. Stream boxing and more contract-free with NOWDownload the Sky Sports app White, who is also the UFC CEO and president, replied: "We'll make an announcement soon." Asked if that response meant the answer was yes, White said: "Listen, let me reiterate. Judge me January 1, 2027 on what we have done this year with boxing. "All these other guys are talking a lot of smack. I haven't said anything about any of these guys. I haven't talked s*** about anybody or any other stuff. "I'm in my lane. I'm doing my thing. Just sit back and watch. We'll make an announcement soon." White was also asked about his potential involvement in the proposed Joshua fight, to which he replied: "For the last couple of weeks I have been hearing from the media and other people that I am not involved in the fight." He later said: "It seems like everybody is always wrong." Fury, who last fought in April when he beat Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, also teased the potential deal. In an interview with UFC broadcaster Jon Anik, Fury said: "I think I'm going to let Dana do the speaking but it is a massive announcement." Frank Warren, long-time promoter of Fury, did not comment on the speculation. Asked if White may play a role in the Joshua fight, Fury said: "One hundred per cent potential, yes." Fury added: "I'm very excited for this fight. It's been over a decade in the making. "For whatever reason it hasn't happened before. Let's hope it happens right now, very soon." Both Fury and White were pictured in Washington DC with Trump, who was hosting the event to celebrate his 80th birthday and the nation's 250th anniversary. Justin Gaethje secured a big upset by beating Ilia Topuria, whose corner called for the fight to be stopped after the fourth round.
