Named only by police as Lilly, she was discovered in the Duffryn Park area of Blaina on Monday night. She had been reported missing and was last seen wearing a long black dress in the town's high street around 6.50pm on Saturday. Blaina is in the South Wales valleys, about 18 miles north of Cardiff. Detective Chief Inspector Steven Thomas said: "We understand that this will cause distress and concern amongst our communities. "We have a large police presence in the area at this time as enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of the death. Our officers are here and available for you to speak to." Anyone with information can call Gwent Police on 101, direct message the force on Facebook or X, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Some outlets previously said they received ransom notes about the case in the days following the disappearance of Ms Guthrie from her home near Tucson, Arizona. Two notes sent to a TV network in the wake of the 84-year-old's disappearance were believed to be potentially credible by investigators. The first note said Ms Guthrie, the mother of Today host Savannah, was safe and demanded cryptocurrency in exchange for her release, whereas the second did not ask for money and was said to be very different from the first. Now Sky's US partner network NBC News has reported that this second note indicated she had died after her disappearance. However, it did not offer an apology or ask payment for the release of her body, according to NBC. According to the note, those who kidnapped her did not mean to kill her, but she died shortly after being taken. The existence of the note was known, but some details including claims she had died, had not previously been released. Tucson TV station KOLD that received two notes agreed to hold off sharing the contents publicly so any future communications with the kidnapper or kidnappers could be authenticated. Jessica Bobula, news director of KOLD, said the station received several notes after Ms Guthrie disappeared and the station told authorities and shared only what the FBI released about the correspondence.

Police believe she was kidnapped or "otherwise taken against her will" after finding blood near her front doorstep. The FBI released surveillance videos of a masked man outside Guthrie's front door on the night she went missing. It has since described the man as a suspect. Volunteers and search teams scoured the nearby desert terrain filled with cactuses, bushes and boulders in the weeks after she vanished. A volunteer group recently conducted a search for her body near the Arizona-Mexico border but didn't report finding her. Investigators involved in the case examined the two notes following Ms Guthrie's disappearance and believe they could be credible. After the second note was sent, Savannah Guthrie spoke about her mother's possible kidnapping in an Instagram video, and said the family would "pay" for her return. "We received your message and we understand," Savannah Guthrie said, sat beside her brother, Camron, and sister, Annie. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace." "This is very valuable to us, and we will pay," Savannah Guthrie added. Her video did not specify the details of the message she received. The Pima County Sheriff's Department said on Tuesday: "The investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie remains active and ongoing. "The Pima County Sheriff's Department continues to work closely with the FBI as investigators follow up on leads, review information, and pursue the facts surrounding this case." Savannah Guthrie returned to NBC's Today show in April for the first time since her mother's disappearance. The 54-year-old has said she's a changed person since she went missing and that it's difficult to press ahead without knowing what happened to her.

Murrell was sentenced to five years and three months in prison after admitting to illegally using £400,000 of party cash for personal purchases over a 12-year period. The former SNP chief executive, and ex-husband of Nicola Sturgeon, used the party's funds to buy items ranging from the expensive to the mundane. Here is a sample of the items Murrell spent his party's embezzled money on: All pics: Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service

Not all handshakes were shown on live televised pictures, but shots have emerged on social media of the Spurs defender appearing to snub the 33-year-old. All other England players appeared to shake hands with Partey. Before the match, the FA gave no specific guidance to England's players for when they came face to face with Partey during the pre-match ceremony in Boston. However, the expectation was that all of England's players would follow FIFA protocols and shake hands with each of their opponents, as they did against Croatia in Dallas last week. Partey denies seven charges of rape and one count of sexual assault, relating to allegations by four different women between 2020 and 2022, and is due to stand trial next year. He is currently playing for Villarreal in Spain. Sky Sports News understands that officials from the FA decided not to advise England's players about having any contact with Partey pre-match to avoid any perception they were pre-judging the criminal case. Partey was absent from Ghana's opening World Cup game in Toronto last week, after Canadian officials denied him entry to the country. He was available to play against England in Boston in the second game because the US has granted him a visa.

Ukraine's attacks on oil refineries have doubled since the start of 2026, and last week strikes hit a Moscow oil refinery in one of the biggest attacks of its kind since the war began. Mr Putin described the Ukraine strikes as a ploy to "destabilise society" and called on the government to take additional measures to deal with the consequences. Ukraine's strikes have come at the same time as suggestions of a possible summer offensive by Putin targeting four key cities in the Donbas region which, if successful, could put the Russians in a position of strength. These developments have led to Putin doubling down on his claim Russia was ready for talks with Ukraine on the basis of previous talks in Istanbul in 2022. Read more:Europe on high alert as record-breaking heatwave hitsHezbollah accuses Israel of 'blatant violation' of ceasefire Mr Putin said: "Russia, however, as has been stated repeatedly, is ready for peace negotiations with Ukraine. It is ready to proceed on the basis of the agreements reached back in Istanbul, agreements which, I would remind you, were initialed at the time by the Ukrainian delegation. "That means they were satisfied with them. And I see no grounds for us to depart from those agreements." He added: "Strikes against civilian infrastructure - what are they aimed at? To destabilise society, amid such a massive onslaught, when the entire West is working for them and these drones are coming in huge numbers, to create a sense of uncertainty about the actions of the Russian armed forces." Talks took place in Turkey soon after the war in 2022 and were resumed in 2025. But there was no suggestion from Moscow of shifting its demand, rejected by Kyiv, for Ukraine to surrender the remaining part of the Donbas region that it has successfully defended from Russian forces. Numerous regions across Russia have reported restrictions on fuel sales, the rising price of oil products and long queues at filling stations. Russia usually exports various oil products along with crude, but Ukrainian attacks on its refineries have forced it to ban exports of gasoline and jet fuel. Deputy prime minister Alexander Novak said Russia was considering a diesel export ban, and changes to tax legislation to help the domestic fuel market. He added that oil companies had delayed maintenance work at refineries and were using fuel reserves to meet demand. He said: "We are using reserves that were not previously tapped, and are also encouraging increased supplies of additional volumes to the domestic market. "Relevant amendments to tax legislation have been prepared in coordination with the government." The Vedomosti newspaper reported that imports were being raised as an option at a meeting chaired by Novak. The Russian rouble weakened and stocks fell to their lowest level in three years on Tuesday as people queued for fuel across the country following the Ukraine drone strikes.

Turner Prize winner Helen Cammock's 40-minute video work titled Persistence made a reference to "the wilful starvation of the Indian population by Winston Churchill". In the work, narrated by Cammock, she examined Oliver Cromwell's 17th century military campaigns in Ireland, and said he had "starved people, en masse", which was "a little like" Churchill in the Bengal famine. The artwork prompted Churchill biographer Lord Andrew Roberts to pen an open letter - signed by more than 50 peers including Churchill's grandson Sir Nicholas Soames - refuting the claims. Other signatories include Michael Grade and Zac Goldsmith. Three million people in east India have been estimated to have died in the Bengal famine of 1943. Churchill's policies as prime minister at the time have been criticised by some for exacerbating the situation. Lord Roberts of Belgravia argued the installation's description of Churchill was a "bare-faced lie" and "ideologically motivated rant" that "denigrated" the war-time prime minister. "The Bengal famine was an unimaginable tragedy and disaster, but the accusation that it was deliberately visited upon the Bengalis by Churchill is foul and vile," he said. "It is also historically ludicrous, as every serious historian of the period attests." Lord Roberts said the Bengal famine was caused by a typhoon and that Churchill told his war cabinet every effort must be made to help those affected and asked international leaders to send in grain. Following the backlash, Cammock said she made the decision to "withdraw" the work from the gallery. "There is an incredible pressure on artists and arts institutions to bend to external pressure; to be benign at best and silent at worst. I do not accept this pressure," she said. "To question, challenge and explore ideas and histories is vital to a healthy society and art is intrinsic to this. "For me, art is about dialogue, it is about a questioning of existence through the transformation and translation of thoughts and ideas. "It asks us to think, to feel, to react - and we must take responsibility for our own reactions to it."

She added: "Persistence will have its own life after this: it won't hide and it won't be afraid to speak with those who are prepared to sit with it and listen - not agree or submit to it - but to hear it out, consider its points and make their own minds up." In a statement, the gallery said: "Helen Cammock has decided to remove her film, Persistence, from display at the National Portrait Gallery. "We respect her decision, just as we acknowledge the opinions of those who were offended by what was said in the film." The gallery added: "The aim of this project was to give artists the opportunity to create works as personal and creative responses to our collection. The work was presented as an artistic piece, not a documentary, and the views expressed in the film do not necessarily reflect those of the NPG." Lord Roberts said Cammock "should be commended for doing the honourable thing and putting historical truth over her artistic licence".

In less than a month, Britain is set to get its seventh prime minister in a decade. And, barring a political earthquake, it's all but certain to be Andy Burnham. But several questions remain about what the King of the North really stands for - he now has just over three weeks to turn a by-election victory into a policy platform to govern the country. Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy look at the fading prospect of challengers and likely coronation. Can Burnham really steady the ship 10 years on from the Brexit referendum? With the battle for No 11 well under way, the duo also look at the economic agenda and what characters could form a Burnham government as the party begins to shape ideas for the next phase.

The superstars are delivering on the biggest stage of them all and are setting a blistering pace in the race to be the 2026 tournament's top goalscorer. Messi heads the field with five goals from two games after his double against Austria secured Argentina a 2-0 victory. Every potential knockout stage fixtureWorld Cup fixture schedule - your day-by-day guide Mbappe and Haaland are just behind Messi with four goals after doubles of their own in respective wins for France and Norway. It is the first World Cup since since 1954 - and only the second tournament in history - where three players have scored four or more times after two matches, and Harry Kane could join them with two goals for England against Ghana on Tuesday evening. How the race for the Golden Boot stands... Could more records tumble? Miroslav Klose started the tournament out in front on the all-time World Cup goalscoring chart with 16 goals. Two games in and Messi is now two ahead with 18, while Mbappe has pulled level with the Germany striker, whose international career spanned the World Cups from 2002 to 2014. Haaland is now Norway's leading goalscorer at World Cups after just two games, while one more Kane goal would see him go past Gary Lineker as England's top World Cup scorer. All four players will be targeting Just Fontaine's 1958 record of 13 goals in a single tournament. Only three players in World Cup history - Fontaine, Germany's Gerd Muller in 1970 and Hungary's Sandor Kocsis in 1954 - have ever hit double figures at a single tournament. At the current rate of scoring at this tournament, three or more players could do it this summer! Will anyone else join the party? The big question is: will anyone else gatecrash the Golden Boot party? After the exploits of Messi, Mbappe and Haaland, Kane (two goals) has his chance to get in the mix against Ghana. Like Mbappe, the England captain, whose overall World Cup goal tally stands at 10, has the chance to become the first striker to win multiple Golden Boots. Spain's Lamine Yamal (one goal) got his tournament up and running with a goal against Saudi Arabia, while Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to trouble the scorers for Portugal - but there are still plenty of games left for them to mount a challenge. Mikel Oyarzabal was the scorer of the winning goal for Spain in the Euro 2024 final and the Real Sociedad forward has made a fast start with two goals in his country's thrashing of Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Deniz Undav was a rank outsider before the finals kicked off but the Stuttgart forward already has three goals, and could be a surprise contender if Germany go far. Netherland's Cody Gakpo (two) also has a good scoring record at major tournaments. Brazil duo Vinicius Junior and Matheus Cunha (both two) will also be targeting a few more goals. The Real Madrid star struck a fabulous goal to rescue a point for Brazil in their opener against Morocco and his goalscoring is likely to be key as the five-time winners continue to struggle for rhythm at the finals. Then there is the challenge from the host nations' forwards. Could Canada's Jonathan David (three) and USA's Folarin Balogun (two) get enough games to fire themselves into contention? Canada's hopes of a long run are perhaps dimmer than the other two host nations, but, following his hat-trick against Qatar, it would be unwise to dismiss David's prospects. With two goals in the United States' first two games, former Arsenal striker Balogun is the focal point for what could be an historic run for Mauricio Pochettino's co-hosts. The problem for the rest is Messi, Mbappe and Haaland, and potentially Kane, show no signs of slowing down any time soon. Who will win the Golden Boot? Have your say...
