Overnight, the US president accused Pope Leo of being "WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy" and claimed that "if I wasn't in the White House, Leo wouldn't be in the Vatican". Iran war latest: Trump launches extraordinary attack on Pope In a spree of late-night Truth Social posts - including Trump-branded hotels on the Moon and other X posts from supporters - Mr Trump also shared an AI image of himself as Jesus Christ without comment. Responses on Truth Social were atypically critical, with some followers urging the president to take the post down. It's not the first time that the US president has shared AI images of himself: Last year, as Mr Trump prepared to order the National Guard to deploy in Chicago, he posted an AI-generated parody image of himself from Apocalypse Now. The US president has targeted the head of the Catholic Church after he criticised the war in Iran, saying in a speech last month that God rejected the prayers of leaders who start wars and have their "hands full of blood". He also called the conflict in Iran "atrocious" and urged Mr Trump to find an "off-ramp" and "decrease the amount of violence". When asked about his Truth Social comments at Joint Base Andrews on Sunday, Mr Trump told reporters: "We don't like a pope that's going to say that it's OK to have a nuclear weapon. "We don't want a pope that says crime is OK in our cities. I don't like it. I'm not a big fan of Pope Leo." Pope Leo has never said that it is okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

"We are not politicians", he said. "We don't deal with foreign policy with the same perspective he might understand it, but I do believe in the message of the gospel, as a peacemaker." The Pope also told Reuters aboard the papal flight to Algiers that "I don't want to get into a debate with him... I don't think that the message of the Gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing". Sky News has contacted the Holy See for comment on the post and Mr Trump's remarks overnight.

The 44-year-old pop star voluntarily checked herself into a substance abuse treatment facility, according to an email sent to The Associated Press on Sunday. Spears was arrested on 5 March, after California Highway Patrol officers received a report that a BMW was driving fast and "erratically" on US 101 in Ventura County near the Los Angeles County line. She was later arrested for "driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol" and taken to Ventura County Main Jail, north west of Los Angeles. Spears, who lives in the area, was released several hours later. She is due to appear in court on 4 May. At the time of Spears's arrest, her representative called her actions "completely inexcusable" and said it would ideally be "the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney's life". Spears has not released new music for several years, saying in 2024 that she would "never return to the music industry". She went on to sell part of her rights to her back catalogue to music publisher Primary Wave in February. In 2021, a 13-year conservatorship allowing her father to control her freedom and finances due to concerns over her mental health was dissolved by the court. Spears published a bestselling memoir two years later, titled The Woman In Me.

The changes, subject to a nine-week consultation from Monday, will see schools barred from offering "unhealthy" foods like sausage rolls and pizza every day, desserts restricted, and fried foods banned. Instead, schools will be required to offer more higher-fibre wholegrains, such as wholemeal bread, brown pasta, and rice, and a portion of vegetables or salad alongside every main meal. The aim is to reduce the number of obese children - one in three are leaving primary school overweight or obese, and tooth decay from high-sugar diets is the leading cause of hospital admissions for kids aged five to nine. According to a poll conducted by the Department for Education last week, 74% of parents have at least one concern about their child's nutrition, with the biggest worries expressed around their child eating too much sugar (43%), having a varied enough diet (30%), and getting enough fruit and vegetables (30%). Read more:Man charged over student deathEamonn Holmes suffers stroke To ensure the changes are made, ministers are also developing a new "robust national enforcement system" that will monitor schools' compliance, expected to be in place from September 2027 - although secondary schools will have a further year to make the changes. The government's plans have received backing from food campaigners, charities and nutritional experts, including actor and Food Foundation ambassador Dame Emma Thompson, who said she is "thrilled". "School meals are a golden opportunity to support children's health, learning and wellbeing - and getting this right means children across the country can truly thrive," she said. "This is a landmark moment for families, for the NHS, and for the future of our young people." Chef and campaigner Jamie Oliver also endorsed the plans, saying he is "delighted" with the proposed changes. "Twenty years ago, dog food had higher standards than school dinners. I've been banging the drum ever since because I refuse to accept our kids being fed anything less than proper, nourishing meals," he continued. "School food is the UK's most important restaurant chain. From September, during term-time schools will provide two-thirds of a child's daily diet - a massive opportunity to improve health at scale. My Good School Food Awards prove that world-class meals are possible right now, and every child deserves that same quality. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson described the plans as "the most ambitious overhaul of school food in a generation", saying: "Every child deserves to have delicious, nutritious food at school that gives them the energy to concentrate, learn and thrive." The announcement comes as over 500 new free breakfast clubs will open in primary schools this month, in addition to the 750 schools already offering one, which the government says will save parents up to £450 a year.

McIlroy built a historic six-stroke halfway lead but found himself two behind early in a dramatic final round, where playing partner Cameron Young and then Justin Rose - the man he beat to play-off victory 12 months ago - both enjoyed stints in top spot. The defending champion responded with back-to-back birdies from the seventh and added successive gains from the 12th to briefly go three ahead, only for Rose and Scottie Scheffler to close and set up a thrilling finish.

Key dates in 2026Get Sky Sports or stream golf with no contract McIlroy avoided a repeat of last year's late stumble (squandering a four-shot lead before completing the career Grand Slam) 12 months on as he took a two-shot lead to the 72nd hole before closing out a narrow win with a two-putt bogey. The world No 2 posted a one-under 71 to finish on 12 under, one ahead of Scheffler, with Tyrrell Hatton's brilliant final-round 66 putting him in third spot alongside Rose, Young and Russell Henley. Victory sees McIlroy join Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo and Woods as players to win consecutive editions of The Masters, while the 36-year-old is now just the 15th man in history to claim six or more major titles. How McIlroy made more Masters history McIlroy avoided a repeat of last year's opening-hole double-bogey but fell behind when Young birdied the par-five second, then responded with a sublime up and down from the greenside bunker to take advantage of the driveable third. Young suddenly jumped two ahead when McIlroy pulled his tee shot at the par-three fourth and three-putted from inside 10 feet for double bogey, while both players bogeyed the par-three sixth to condense an already bunched leaderboard. Rose - playing two groups ahead - started three back and fell further behind with a bogey at the third, before producing a run of three consecutive birdies from the sixth and jumping into the solo lead. Young failed to get up and down from the sand at the seventh and saw Rose double his lead with a 15-foot birdie at the ninth, only for McIlroy and Young to both respond by taking advantage of the par-five eighth. McIlroy burned a six-foot birdie chance at the ninth but found himself tied for the lead when Rose bogeyed the 11th, before taking a firm grip of the tournament with an impressive stretch around Amen Corner. The world No 2 holed an eight-foot birdie at the par-three 12th, where Rose had misjudged a chip and made bogey, before a brilliantly-judged two-putt from off the back of the 13th green moved him three ahead with five holes to play. McIlroy had to lay up from the trees on his way to a par at the 15th and scrambled pars over the next two holes, then overcame a late scare when his drive on the last hole headed towards the trees. He found the front greenside bunker with his second and pitched out to 15 feet, giving him two putts for victory - with a final-hole bogey for the second successive year not enough to prevent McIlroy from winning another major title. "I just can't believe I waited 17 years to get one Green Jacket and I get two in a row," McIlroy said. "I think all of my perseverance at this golf tournament over the years has really started to pay off. It was a tough weekend. I did the bulk of my work on Thursday and Friday. But just so, so happy to hang in there and get the job done." Scheffler carded a bogey-free 68 to finish runner-up, having gone into the weekend 12 strokes behind McIlroy, while Rose - a three-time runner-up at The Masters - cancelled out a birdie at the 15th with a penultimate-hole bogey to narrowly miss out again. Young posted a final-round 73 to fall short in his bid to become the third consecutive golfer to win The Players and The Masters. Shane Lowry stumbled to a final-round 80 to drop from two strokes back to tied-30th. What's next?

But while he is now set to lead a majority government after ousting Viktor Orban, Mr Magyar was once a loyal ally of the outgoing prime minister. The 45-year-old served as a foreign affairs official under Mr Orban's 2010 administration before resigning from the Fidesz party in 2024 over a scandal involving a presidential pardon for a man convicted of helping cover up a sex abuse scandal at a children's home. Hungary election live - follow the latest The centre-right Tisza Party emerged as the strongest opposition party in Hungary after the 2024 European Parliament elections. Mr Magyar has pledged to crack down on corruption, unlock billions of euros in frozen European Union funds, and tax the wealthiest, while reforming Hungary's crumbling healthcare system. Most independent polls leading up to election day put Mr Magyar ahead of Mr Orban, and preliminary election results project that Tisza won 136 seats in Hungary's 199-member parliament. The election saw a record 77.8% turnout, the highest ever in a Hungarian election, according to the country's national election commission, which says the "election process was conducted lawfully and smoothly across the country". Voters in Hungary were angered after three years of economic stagnation and soaring living costs, along with oligarchs close to the government earning greater wealth. Mr Magyar ran a "positive campaign" on boosting the economy, restoring healthcare and lowering the cost of living, according to Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett. "All of these domestic issues really chimed with people's needs here. They were desperate for change and fed up with the Orban government," he said, adding that Mr Orban ran a campaign of fear. 'Real blow for Putin' Bennett said EU leaders will also be delighted to see the back of Mr Orban, who he described as a "Russian Trojan horse acting in Moscow's interest". "He would consistently try to block aid to Ukraine, try to derail and slow down sanctions on Russia", he said. "So for Vladimir Putin, a real blow. But for Europe, for Brussels, this is a moment to celebrate. Because that persistent thorn in their side has finally been removed after 16 long, long years." Mr Magyar said during the election campaign that voters had to choose between "East and West", warning that Putin ally Mr Orban and his confrontational stance towards Brussels would take the country further away from the European mainstream. With Mr Magyar in charge, many European leaders will now be hoping for an end to Hungary's adversarial role inside the EU, possibly paving the way for a £78.4bn (€90bn) loan to war-battered Ukraine, which was previously blocked by Mr Orban. In his first remarks after the election, Mr Magyar promised his government would work for a free, European and humane Hungary after years of claims of corruption and shrinking freedoms. He thanked those who voted for him and added: "As prime minister, I will work every day and every hour of the day for our country's security and development, as well as for the wellbeing of the Hungarian people." Sex tape blackmail threat In February, Mr Magyar accused the Fidesz Party of "Russian-type" blackmail, using a secretly-recorded sex tape showing consensual relations between him and a now ex-girlfriend at a party nearly two years ago. "Even in Europe, it is unprecedented for a ruling party to attempt to discredit, blackmail and neutralise its main political opponent by secretly recording their sexual acts using illegal methods and threatening to make the recordings public," he wrote on X. In an accompanying video, he said: "Of course, I don't know how the images and audio recordings illegally recorded in the apartment with secret service equipment will be manipulated afterwards." He said there were what appeared to be drugs at the party, but denied taking any and offered to do a drug test.

The photo was also published with the words "once upon a time..." on a website apparently named after Mark Radnai, the vice president of Tisza, who denied any involvement. Tisza said in a statement it stands by Mr Magyar and that it "will not assist in manipulating politics with secretly recorded materials and threats".

Beloved West End show Paddington The Musical picked up seven prizes at the ceremony at London's Royal Albert Hall, including best new musical, best director, and best actor in a musical as a joint prize for James Hameed, who provides the voice and remote puppetry, and Arti Shah, who brings the bear to life on stage. Hosted by comedian, actor and Celebrity Traitors star Nick Mohammed, this year's Olivier Awards marked the 50th anniversary of the ceremony, which celebrates the best in British theatre. US star Zegler - who made headlines for a stunning Evita performance that took the song Don't Cry For Me Argentina out to crowds on the street outside the London Palladium - was named best actress in a musical, while British star Pike was named best actress for her role in Inter Alia at the National Theatre, which marked her return to the stage after almost 14 years. Other prizes included supporting awards for Paapa Essiedu for All My Sons, and Julie Hesmondhalgh for Punch. Punch, by James Graham, based on the true story of an impulsive punch that leads to fatal consequences, was also named best new play, while All My Sons, starring Bryan Cranston and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, won the award for best revival. And other prizes for Paddington included awards for costume and set design, as well as supporting acting prizes in the musicals category. The production has received rave reviews since opening towards the end of 2025. Paddington's guardians Speaking to Sky News before the awards, Shah and Hameed said it was "humbling" to be part of a show that has been well received by audiences and critics alike. "Between us we bring Paddington to life and act as his guardians," Hameed said. "Often we can read each other's minds. From the beginning we got on really well and bounced ideas off each other, and we just get to play!" McFly star Tom Fletcher, who wrote the music and lyrics, said: "What's really magical, you see a whole new generation experiencing Paddington now - seeing everyone from seven-year-olds to 97-year-olds and beyond coming to the theatre and sharing our show is just magic. I feel very lucky I get to be a part of this very special show." Jessica Swale, who wrote the musical's book, said: "Even though we were given a huge mountain of expectation, because Paddington's so beloved already...having the chance to put him on stage, we could suddenly use all the things we have available in the theatre which are so magic - choreography and music and dance and lights and having a live audience." While the West End welcomed a record-breaking 17.64 million people last year, beating Broadway, over a third of organisations say they still expect to operate at a deficit this year. Oliviers host Nick Mohammed told Sky News: "I think it is important we recognise the power of the arts, and it's important we don't price certain communities out." All My Sons star Cranston said the re-telling of Arthur Miller's 1947 tragedy, often seen as an anti-war play, had attracted audiences from all over the world. "Art should always reflect society's issues in the moment, it has to make a connection to what's happening now in some way, otherwise it just feels nostalgic and something people don't feel they have any relationship to," he said.

It is part of wider efforts to modernise how the government is reaching voters and combat inflammatory far-right content spreading online. Ministers have seen research which shows communications from government department social media channels are only reaching 2% of the public. At the same time, far-right political content regularly ends up in the list of top five news stories that reach users each week on the "big 5" platforms - YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X. The research has concerned Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the prime minister, who was tasked with modernising how Whitehall operates when he was appointed to the new role in September. The cabinet minister wants to ensure the government is showing up where people are increasingly getting their news so they aren't left to "conspiracy theorists and keyboard warriors", a source close to him told Sky News. YouTube has been identified as being particularly important, following a study in February which showed TV is now the most popular device to watch YouTube on across all age groups. The source added: "Government is out of date in so many ways. The system needs a shake to get in better tech across the public sector and get rid of pointless paper forms and bureaucracy. "But it also means modernising the way the government communicates with the public. We can't abandon the internet to the clutches of conspiracy theorists and keyboard warriors." Some departments already have their own YouTube channels. However over the course of the next year, the government intends to funnel more video content through a central UK government YouTube channel to maximise audience building, rather than having a huge array of different individual channels run by departments and arms-length bodies, without much reach. Video content on this central channel is expected to feature influencers and everyday people with real voices rather than government ministers. The videos will promote new government services on offer, such as apprenticeships and digital ID, rather than political messaging, which is the role of Labour Party communications. Creative decisions will rest with the New Media Unit (NMU), which is headed by Sir Keir Starmer's director of digital communications, Caitlin Roper. The NMU was set up after Labour took office and is being expanded in order to produce more content in house, with a bigger budget and headcount, Sky News has learnt. Read more from Faye Brown:Ban on 'barely legal' contentElectricity and gas bills reform Recent work includes placing ads about the NHS on Spotify playlists used by the target audience, and a Cost of Living campaign using paid creator content which is said to have reached an audience of 1.3 million. However Labour MPs remain concerned that the government is failing to communicate what it has achieved and what it stands for. Few are in denial that May's local elections could be a "bloodbath" with Sir Keir Starmer's personal unpopularity remaining a big barrier. The prime minister set up a TikTok account last year and has recently launched a "With Keir" series answering questions put to him on social media from the public, in a bid to boost his image. These were done by Number 10's digital team whereas the NMU sits in the Cabinet Office. These reforms are part of efforts by Mr Jones to bring the Cabinet Office and Number 10 closer together. The NMU's aim is to take a more centralised approach to overall government communications for more cohesive story telling, amid concern dozens of different departments are doing different things under their own branding. Mr Jones works closely with David Dinsmore, the former editor of The Sun who was controversially brought in as a senior civil servant to develop a new government communications strategy last year. A government spokesperson said: "Today's media landscape is unrecognisable compared to even a decade ago. Government Communications must change with that to ensure people get reliable information on the platforms they use."

So what will the final significance of one Manchester City fan drinking from an Arsenal bottle in the Stamford Bridge away end be, with the momentum of the title race swinging? Such is the current ominousness of the title race, a City fan chose to mock Arsenal with his team six points behind in the chase. There is not just a script being followed, but history is threatening to repeat itself. This is the time of the season when Manchester City hit top gear, while Arsenal tend to 'bottle' it. April is the only month of the season where Arsenal's win percentage drops below 50 per cent under Mikel Arteta, while City have not lost a game in this month for five years. Neville: Arsenal need to balance their emotionsGot Sky? Watch Premier League games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW 📺 Arsenal are freezing in the face of being champions. After just three defeats in their first 49 games of the season, they have doubled their number of losses in the last four games. So what is behind Arsenal's recent slump - and how does Arteta stop the rot? The tactic Arsenal are struggling with Firstly, Arsenal froze on the pitch - and there is a tactical element to the Gunners coming unstuck in recent weeks. One statistic that emerged from the ashes of the defeat to Bournemouth was how Arsenal's players passed the ball back to David Raya 38 times during the 95 minutes. Arsenal really struggled with Bournemouth's press - but it's a problem that's faced them before. Andoni Iraola lined up with a four-man press when Arsenal were building up from the back, letting Raya have the ball and completely shutting off the middle of the pitch. By stopping the passing lanes out to Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice, Arsenal then had two options when their goalkeeper had the ball. Play out to a centre-back and get forced into a corner, or go long. Both give the opposition a chance of winning the ball back. When Arsenal did find Zubimendi and Rice through the lines, the Arsenal pair gave the ball away 29 times. When they go long, they give Bournemouth a 50:50 chance of winning the ball back. As a result, Bournemouth's two goals came from Arsenal mistakes. A shaky Martin Zubimendi's poor pass out led to the throw-in which led to Bournemouth's opener. And in the second half, Gabriel's hurried clearance out under pressure led to Alex Scott's winner. The four-man press is a tactic Arsenal have faced very recently. Manchester City played the same approach in the Carabao Cup final, with this tactic resulting in Pep Guardiola's side dominating the second half in the same way Bournemouth did at the Emirates - by stopping Arsenal's ability to play out. Arteta had weeks to overcome this tactical problem over the international break and hasn't come up with the answer yet. He needs it quickly, because a reunion with Guardiola's City is coming this Sunday. It forces a bigger question of Arteta's tactical astuteness, whether he can change a tactical narrative. Look at Guardiola and City, who have turned Nico O'Reilly into a goalscoring machine just at the right time. We've seen this before with another defender in Josko Gvardiol, who hit goalscoring form in time to win City the title two seasons ago. What sits in Arteta's tactical corner, with the pressure now on? The Bournemouth game still revealed a reliance on set pieces for overall attacking play - an open play xG of 0.19 against the Cherries is a tough ask. There is also a doubt about how Arteta has managed his squad this season, particularly in the form of Zubimendi. The Spanish midfielder looks a shadow of the player who was so influential at the start of the season - now he looks exhausted. Zubimendi has played more minutes than any other Arsenal outfield player this season, playing 3,751 minutes - over 100 minutes more than the next best in Rice. Meanwhile, Christian Norgaard has played just 995 minutes this term - and is yet to start a Premier League game for Arsenal all season. Could Arteta have rotated both of his key midfielders more? Rice's load has been put under strain because of an injury to his back-up in Mikel Merino. But Arsenal's midfield has been overloaded with minutes, now it's also being overloaded with pressing opposition. Is Arteta helping himself with his comments? But could there be a deeper issue to Arsenal's play? As Guardiola told reporters after his Man City team beat Chelsea on Sunday: "It is the mindset, not the tactics." A worrying trend has emerged regarding Arteta and it comes even before Arsenal have kicked a ball. Before the game against Bournemouth, the Arsenal manager gave a rallying cry to his supporters to get up for the early Saturday kick-off. "So get up early, have an early breakfast, bring your lunch, bring your dinner, and let's all go together for it because it has to be a big day," he said. It's not the first time he's done it. Before Arsenal's Champions League semi-final with Paris Saint-Germain, he told his supporters to "bring your boots, bring your shinpads." And in January of this year, before Arsenal's Premier League game with reigning champions Liverpool, he called on all the fans to get in before 8pm for an 8.15pm kick-off. But in all three matches - Bournemouth, PSG and Liverpool - Arsenal's team did not turn up. They did not manage to score a goal from open play in any of them. The 'big day' Arteta asked for did not arrive, perhaps that message did not get across to his team. Arteta's justification for such outbursts will be honest and innocent - it was a rallying cry to the fans, and a desire to maximise every possible advantage in Arsenal's favour. But that cry simply added to the noise - and to the tension. You can understand a desire to raise the volume against Liverpool and PSG, but Bournemouth at home? Arsenal want that game to be a routine win, and they are capable of it, without any further stress. Banging a drum that didn't need to be played was a mistake - especially for a team who already have an anxiety hurdle of trying to get over the line. "Arsenal losing on Saturday isn't because they don't want it - it's because they want it too much and their legs have started to get heavy," said Gary Neville after the weekend action. "You're going for your first title, you start to become consumed, and it's the mentally emotional drain that means your legs physically appear tired. "That's a bit of what we saw against Bournemouth - the expectation of 'we're going to win this match, we're going to win a title, and we're desperate to do it. We want to be the first to win it in 22 years, and we'll be club legends.' "They're not saying that themselves, it's the noise around the club, the emotion in the stadium, the expectation, the fact they've not done it in the last two or three years when they've been in this position." Arteta's restless, jittery nature extended to his team during Saturday's defeat to Bournemouth. It was seen in his triple substitution in the 53rd minute - where he took of all the players behind Viktor Gyokeres for three new options - including 16-year-old Max Dowman. Perhaps a calmer head would have kept one of the pacey Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli on the pitch given Bournemouth persisted with a very high line. Dowman and Leandro Trossard are both players who enjoy the ball to feet. And when Arsenal don't win - or even perform to their potential - Arteta's rallying cry comes across as hypocritical. Can Arsenal get injured players back? How Arteta fixes Arsenal's current predicament is both in and out of his control. The tactical tweaks needed to overcome City are evident - but they also depend on players returning. Against Bournemouth, Arsenal were without Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard, with Eberechi Eze and Piero Hincapie only fit enough for the bench. At least four of them are guaranteed starters, and bring clarity in situations such as building play out the back, which Arsenal are struggling in. It further raises the point that Arsenal are in a very good situation given their injury predicament. Before the March international break, no Premier League team suffered more injuries this season than the Gunners. If you look at the eight most injury-hit teams, the vast majority of them are underachieving. Arsenal, Leeds and Aston Villa are the exceptions. While Arsenal's last four matches have seen standards slip, Arteta's side must remember what has brought them into the position they are in for most of the season. The form going into the Man City match has not defined Arsenal's entire season up until now. But the game on Sunday will help.
