Police were called to Emslie Horniman's Pleasance Park at around 7.20pm on 21 July 2024 following reports of a shooting. CCTV showed a man calmly approaching the children's play area before firing a single shot. Rene Graham, 15, suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and died at the scene. Aderahman Boumzough, 25, of no fixed address, appeared at Woolwich Crown Court on Friday, where he was found guilty of the murder following a two-week trial. Footage also showed the suspect chasing and attempting to shoot a second victim, but the gun jammed and he fled. In March 2025, Rene's mother, Janay John-Francois, issued a plea urging the public to come forward with any information, telling Sky News: "It's broken, shattered my life... It's killing me on the inside."

During their investigation, police used forensic work, witness enquiries, and detailed analysis of CCTV tracing the suspect's movements. Boumzough was arrested on 2 September 2025 and charged with murder and attempted murder the next day. Police subsequently uncovered a video on Boumzough's phone in which he rapped while appearing to reference the firearm malfunction. He said: "Don't you hate it when your ting jams? I was prepared to take soul, but Allah had a different plan". Boumzough was found guilty of murder and attempted murder following a two-week trial. He will appear at Woolwich Crown Court for sentencing on 3 July. A senior Met detective thanked a small pocket of the Ladbroke Grove community for their support in the case. Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, who led the investigation, said: "Following Rene's senseless murder, we made a direct plea to both the Ladbroke Grove community and those who had attended the event where he lost his life. A year on, we renewed that appeal, urging anyone with information to come forward and help us secure justice for Rene's family. "As part of that appeal, we released CCTV footage showing Boumzough pulling a firearm from his pocket in broad daylight, fleeing the scene, and attempting to shoot a second man as he made his escape. "While only a small number of people came forward, I would like to thank those individuals who provided statements and supported the investigation, including attending court, who refused to allow a dangerous individual such as Boumzough to live amongst them. "This conviction is the result of relentless work by officers who painstakingly reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV footage to trace the gunman's movements before and after the shooting."

The judge formally dismissed the case on Thursday. In May, the 74-year-old's third trial over the allegation ended in a mistrial after the jury said it was deadlocked. The majority-male jury had been unable to reach a unanimous decision over whether Weinstein had raped former aspiring actor Ms Mann, now aged 40, in 2013 in a New York hotel. Ms Mann appeared to support Thursday's decision, saying in a letter that a prosecutor read to the court: "After a lot of thought and reflection, I have chosen not to proceed with a fourth trial against Harvey Weinstein. It was clear to me at this last trial I could no longer endure going through this any longer." Weinstein had a neutral expression as court officers led him out of court in his wheelchair. He had pleaded not guilty to the charge of rape in the third degree, and has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex. The May mistrial came nearly a year after another New York jury failed to reach a verdict on a charge tied to Ms Mann's allegations, which she recounted across five days in court. At his ‌first ⁠trial in New York in 2020, Weinstein was convicted of raping Ms Mann and assaulting onetime production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006. But the state's highest court overturned the conviction and Weinstein's 23-year prison sentence after concluding he did not get a fair trial. A Manhattan jury then convicted Weinstein of sexually abusing Ms Haley at a trial in June 2025, but found him ​not guilty of assaulting former model Kaja Sokola. The same jury were ⁠deadlocked on the third-degree rape charge relating to Ms Mann, and a mistrial was declared, paving the way for May's retrial. Weinstein ​was convicted of rape in California in 2022 and is serving ​a 16-year prison sentence. He is appealing that conviction and sentence. The Miramax studio co-founder will face up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced for abusing Ms Haley. Weinstein has remained in custody serving his setence at New York's maximum-security prison, Rikers Island, while prosecutors weighed the possibility of a further New York retrial.

Andy Burnham is closing in on Downing Street as Nigel Farage endures a tricky political week. But does Burnham actually have a mandate to be prime minister? Or should we have a general election? Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman give their takes on what Burnham's first 100 days could look like and who might be in his cabinet, including the all-important role of chancellor. Harriet says one of her picks for the job has to prove his credibility. And with more scrutiny on Nigel Farage's £5 million gift from Christopher Harborne - how is Farage reacting? Farage has said he is "absolutely convinced I've done nothing wrong in any way at all" and he has "taken zero in personal expenses" since being elected in July 2024 "I'm very careful and very cautious about these things," he said. "I believe it to be a wholly private matter, the standards commissioner may take a different view."

Saka started on the bench for England's first two World Cup games against Croatia and Ghana and made second-half cameos as a substitute. This is due to a long-term Achilles issue that affected his season run-in at Arsenal. However, Tuchel revealed Saka has spent the last few days feeling back to his normal self after a strict medical process that included consultation with Arsenal. England's routes to World Cup finalWorld Cup fixtures day-by-day | World Cup kitsFollow the World Cup in the Sky Sports app "For Bukayo, it was the right thing [not to start him yet]," said Tuchel. "We agreed with Bukayo and especially the medical team at Arsenal in tight co-operation that this is the way to build him up. "He is now, since many days, fully free of pain and discomfort and is ready to go and ready to start." James could miss rest of World Cup Reece James' World Cup could be over - if England fail to reach the latter stages of the competition. Sky Sports News has been told James will be unavailable until well into the knockout stages of the tournament as he battles to recover from a hamstring injury. Tuchel named Djed Spence, Jarell Quansah and Ezri Konsa as the right-back cover options who can replace James. But the England boss was also questioned as to why he called up centre-back Trevoh Chalobah - instead of a natural right-back option - when full-back Tino Livramento picked up a tournament-ending injury earlier this month. "The thinking of calling Chalobah is to free up Quansah on the right full-back position for us," said Tuchel. "I saw him playing very strongly there for Liverpool and he played enough in a back three - which is not so far from the position - in Leverkusen. And we have Djed Spence. "No one could see that [James injury] coming. Reece was in good shape. "Konsa played in that right-back position as well for us on a high level. No problem. We would love to have Reece as a key player but he's not available. We will find solutions. That's what we do." Rice and Anderson fit - but Arsenal man has yellow-card issue Reports on Friday evening also put Elliot Anderson's participation against Panama in doubt due to muscle tightness. However, Tuchel said the England midfielder took part in full training on Friday and is available to start. Despite picking up a calf knock against Ghana, Declan Rice has also been passed fit - but the Arsenal midfielder is one yellow card away from being banned for the round of 32. "Yes and no," said Tuchel, when asked if that impacts his thinking. "He's experienced enough to handle it. But we are aware of it. He has a yellow card. "If he starts [against Panama], and I normally want Declan on the pitch, then he has to manage that and he will manage that. "Elliot Anderson was in full training [on Friday]. Declan Rice was in full training. They felt both minor issues after the Ghana match but have had time to recover. "Everyone except Reece James is available and ready to go. We will take the decision [on Friday night]." Tuchel: Anderson caused no distractions by Man City move Meanwhile, Tuchel also addressed Anderson's impending British transfer record move to Manchester City, who have agreed a £116m move for the Nottingham Forest player. Earlier this month, Tuchel revealed he does not want players focused on transfers on the day before a match and the England boss said Anderson has not caused any distractions - and he will facilitate that City move after the Panama game. "We had no distractions, no medical before the match," said Tuchel. "All the focus was all about his recovery and getting him available for training. "The focus was on training and travelling with us. No distractions from the main topic which is clearly the match. We want to win the match, win the group. We need Elliot in the right mindset. "The reality is that transfers are going on in world football while we are playing. Big transfers take a lot of time. "We know that things are going on behind the scenes. We will facilitate that transfer but after the match, not before."

The Tropical House where the crocodiles are kept at Johnsons of Old Hurst, a zoo in Huntingdon, was closed following the incident on 18 June. The zoo confirmed in a social media post that its "whole site will be fully open" on Saturday, nine days after a child was allegedly thrown into the pit. The post reads: "Public announcement. As of this weekend, our whole site will be fully open, thank you." A spokesperson for the zoo confirmed this included the crocodile attraction. The boy, from Cambridgeshire, who is now in a stable condition in hospital, was attacked by at least one crocodile after he ended up in their pit. He was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital, where he was initially described as being in a critical condition.

The boy was said to have suffered "serious injuries" in the enclosure. Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched after the medical records of the boy were accessed by around 40 members of hospital staff. Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) has referred itself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and is investigating whether all the staff members had a legitimate reason for viewing his information. The Department of Health and Social Care said on Friday it was also investigating. The zoo is home to more than 100 animals, including crocodiles, Bengal tigers, African lions, capybaras, meerkats, and sloth bears, according to its website. The tropical house building where the crocodiles are kept is a converted cattle barn.

Karl Stefanovic is a household name in Australia as the long-time host of breakfast programme Today. But featuring Robinson, the founder of the anti-Islamist English Defence League, appears to have been a step too far for the Channel Nine network. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Channel Nine bosses held crisis talks after the episode featuring Robinson went online on Tuesday. It was no longer available on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts on Wednesday. The podcast, The Karl Stefanovic Show, was an independent production not associated with Channel Nine. The broadcaster is now negotiating terms for Stefanovic's departure, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. Read more from Sky News:Heatwave could be new normalFamily sues Tesla over fatal crash In a statement, Channel Nine said: "The Karl Stefanovic Show is a completely independent production. Nine has no involvement, including in the guest selection and other editorial processes. "However, Nine is taking this matter seriously." In the podcast, which runs for almost an hour, Stefanovic said he admired Robinson's "tenacity" and "courage". As part of promotional photos and videos, the podcast host posed with his arm around Robinson on a London street. Robinson was denied a visa to enter Australia for a speaking tour in 2019 due to his criminal record.

Speaking on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, the veteran Labour peer said the "strongest candidates" were Mr Miliband and current Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper. Politics latest: Reeves tells next chancellor to 'stick to what I'm doing' Asked to choose who it "should" be between those two, she said: "I'm caught between Ed and Yvette, but I think, marginally, Ed." Mr Burnham, widely expected to replace Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister, is also thought to be planning to replace Rachel Reeves as chancellor. Names rumoured to replace Ms Reeves, alongside Mr Miliband, include former health secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. Ms Mahmood is thought to want to stay in here current job, however. On how to pick a chancellor, Baroness Harman said a prime minister needs to pick "somebody who's on the same page" as them. She said: "You cannot have economic policy division and strife between No 10 and No 11." Baroness Harman also said Burnham will "want a chancellor who is going to be radical". "It can't be business as usual," said Baroness Harman. "The Treasury likes to be the deficit reduction department - it needs to be the growth generating department." But, the former Labour deputy leader added that as well as someone "radical", the next chancellor also needs to be "credible". She said that Mr Miliband is "radical", but also "experienced", and "knows the Treasury inside and out". She pointed to the energy secretary's past role chairing the council of economic advisers for former chancellor Gordon Brown in the early 2000s. To make himself a "credible" chancellor, he would need to do "something big to show that he understands the fiscal cliff edge we're on". On Ms Cooper, Baroness Harman said although she "is not being talked about so much", she also has experience in the Treasury, and is also "radical".

The visitors, who were bossing proceedings at 317 without loss late into the first day's play, found themselves on the receiving end of some excellent bowling in being bowled out for 438, before Duckett (113 off 99) struck a magnificent 88-ball century to anchor England's reply as they closed on 223-2, still 215 runs behind the Black Caps. Stokes (4-70) earlier took his 250th wicket in Tests as part of a fiery morning spell to match the searing temperatures in Nottingham - 35 Celsius, making it the second-hottest day's cricket in England. Stokes took 3-13 across eight overs in of one of his trademark, tireless spells that reduced New Zealand to 418-7 by lunch, before Shoaib Bashir (2-105) helped wrap things up after the interval. Scorecard: England vs New Zealand, third Test, Trent BridgeGot Sky? Watch England vs NZ live on the Sky Sports appNot got Sky? Get instant access with NOW - no contract Duckett, who was dropped on eight, then blasted 19 boundaries as part of a majestic seventh Test ton, sharing in a 179-run stand for the second wicket with Jacob Bethell (74no), who will be eyeing a hundred of his own early on day three. England's cause has been aided by an inexperienced New Zealand bowling attack that has also lost Blair Tickner to a concussion following an earlier blow to the head when batting against Jofra Archer. He has been replaced by Zak Foulkes for the remainder of the match. Stokes takes 250th Test wicket during inspired spell After carrying some momentum into the morning from a four-wicket burst deep into the first evening, nightwatchman Will O'Rourke (19) was a brief source of frustration for England as he comfortably passed his previous Test best of five. The first wicket to fall was, in fact, to be top-order batter Daryl Mitchell (11) as he feathered an edge behind off Stokes, with the slightest of scratches detected on review, much to his disbelief. O'Rourke, who had been dropped on 19 by a combination of wicketkeeper Jamie Smith and Joe Root at slip, was finally felled without troubling the scorers further as his dogged resistance made way for a more tailender-suited top-edged hack across the line. Stokes then took his 250th Test wicket, with Mitchell Santner (4) his victim, fending a short ball to gully, though it would prove a slightly contentious dismissal as the batter believed the ball deflected off his arm guard - DRS, crucially, didn't and gave him out. Bashir dropped Tom Blundell in the deep off Jofra Archer shortly after lunch, but swiftly made amends by claiming Nathan Smith (6) - courtesy of a terrific, reflex grab off his own bowling - and Blundell (30) in the same over. A still sulking Archer wasn't initially in the mood to celebrate with the spinner and earned a bit of a telling-off from Stokes, before he then ended the innings in the very next over - New Zealand losing their last six wickets for just 46 runs. Duckett cashes in after being dropped on eight England will have been thrilled at bowling the tourists out for 438, as conditions still seemed ideal for batting, but they got off to a bit of a spluttering start as Emilio Gay departed for a duck in O'Rourke's second over, while Duckett was dropped on eight as Henry Nicholls made a mess of a fairly straightforward offering at third slip. Duckett certainly made the most of the reprieve, looking in sublime touch thereafter as he charged through to a 40-ball fifty just prior to tea. He and Bethell then rattled through the gears in the early part of the evening session, with England flying along at more than six-runs-an-over with boundaries struck in all but four of the first 24 overs of the innings. In the first 13 overs after tea, Duckett and Bethell smashed 91 runs, with the latter bringing up his 60-ball half century a couple of overs prior to Duckett celebrating - and with some gusto - his first Test hundred in more than a year. The only blot on England's evening work was the eventual dismissal of Duckett, as he rather tamely chopped one onto his stumps off Smith, much to his annoyance. He knew there were more runs to be had for him out there, and England will just be hoping others similarly cash in on Saturday, with Bethell and Root (22no) calmly sharing in an unbroken, 36-run partnership through to stumps. 'That meant a lot' - Duckett reflects on century Ben Duckett (113 off 99 balls), speaking to Sky Sports Cricket: "It meant a lot. It's been a bit of a journey since last summer. Playing here at my home ground means a lot to me. I was quite emotional. "It was a bit of a shame I wasn't there at the end of the day, but I'd have taken that at the start. I've felt it's been coming. "I didn't go to the IPL. I've spent a lot of time here working on my game and have scored runs in the County Championship. "It hasn't gone my way in the first couple of Tests but, with the age I'm at now, I try to believe in my game, knowing one is around the corner. "I nicked off on eight; on another day I'd have been back in the hut, but I knew that when that happened it could be my day." 'England have given themselves platform to win' Sky Sports Cricket's Stuart Broad: "England, led by their captain Ben Stokes, have been superb. If you think back to day one, when New Zealand were 317-0, it was almost at a stage where the game was gone. "But England have had such a brilliant day and the changing room will be thinking they can win this game if they pass New Zealand's score. "They have given themselves the platform to really control this game, providing they have another good day tomorrow. It's a big saying in cricket, but the next hour is a big hour. "If New Zealand get a few out in the morning it's a different game, but if Bethell and Root get through that, they can control the rate at which England score." "England will want to bat all day tomorrow and, of course, surpass New Zealand. But they won't be looking that far ahead. "If you think of the power and strike-rate they have coming with Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Ben Stokes, things will accelerate quickly when this bowling attack tires. "Although England are behind on the scoreboard, they have got themselves into a pretty good position."
