James Holder, 54, of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, was found guilty of rape last week, but was acquitted of assault by penetration. Sentencing Holder at Bristol Crown Court on Thursday, the judge said he was responsible for "a despicable piece of sexual violence". During his trial, the jury at Gloucester Crown Court, sitting in Cirencester, heard that Holder and a friend had gone back to the woman's home uninvited after a night out at a bar in Cheltenham. The multi-millionaire fashion boss went to the toilet and had a nap on her bed before beckoning the woman, who was trying to sleep in the lounge, into her bedroom and raping her in the early hours of 7 May 2022. Giving evidence, the woman said she was crying and asking the married father-of-two to stop, but he continued. The ordeal ended when she managed to escape the bedroom, and Holder left her home a short time later. He denied rape, claiming that the sexual activity had been consensual, but the jury did not believe him and he was convicted on 1 May.

Holder, who appeared via video link from HMP Hewell, did not react as the sentence was passed.

Turner, who launched the first 24-hour all-news TV network in 1980, died on Wednesday, according to Turner Enterprises website. No cause of death was given, but his website said he died "after a long battle with Lewy body dementia". In September 2018, Turner revealed he had the degenerative nerve disease that causes a mental decline with physical symptoms similar to Parkinson's. His website described him as "the audacious cable pioneer, arguably best known for creating CNN and Turner Broadcasting". The billionaire, who was known for being brash and outspoken, owned professional sports teams in Atlanta and was an avid yacht racer, defending the America's Cup in yachting in 1977. He was a philanthropist, donating $1bn to United Nations charities, which he called "the best investment I've ever made". The Turner Foundation also gave millions to environmental groups, while he promoted and invested in clean energy. With more than 1.9 million acres (770,000 hectares) in six states, Turner became one of the biggest private landowners in the US. He also owned a herd of some 50,000 bison, which he used to supply a restaurant chain he founded in 2002 called Ted's Montana Grill, and ranches in Argentina's Patagonia. Turner earned nicknames such as the "Mouth of the South," "Captain Outrageous," and "Terrible Ted". He once bragged: "If I only had a little humility, I'd be perfect." Trump pays tribute to 'one of the greats' Figures like US President Donald Trump paid tribute to the man who revolutionised television news. Mr Trump called Turner "one of the Greats of Broadcast History, and a friend of mine". "Whenever I needed him, he was there, always willing to fight for a good cause!" Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. The chairman and CEO of CNN Worldwide said in a statement: "He was always and will be the presiding spirit of CNN. Ted is the giant on whose shoulders we stand." Former CNN head Walter Isaacson called Turner "the most fearless journalist I've ever seen" in a speech at the Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit in London. Revolutionising news television Forbes estimates Turner's fortune at $2.8 billion, and the businessman was known for his driven, risk-taking decisions. By the time he sold his Turner Broadcasting System to Time Warner Inc. in a 1996 media megadeal for $7.3bn in stock, Turner had turned his late father's billboard company into a global conglomerate that included seven major TV networks, three professional sports teams and a pair of hit movie studios, including Warner Bros. He revolutionised TV networks by creating the first 24-hour, all-news service with CNN, bringing the latest news to television screens at any time convenient for viewers, born out of his own frustration with the nightly newscasts having already gone off the air by the time he stopped working after 8pm. In the same year that Turner sold his company, rival network Fox News Channel was born and new media mogul Rupert Murdoch emerged. Turner and Murdoch had a long-running feud that began in 1983 when a Murdoch-sponsored yacht collided with Turner's boat in an Australian race, which led Turner to challenge Murdoch to a fist fight.

He later said: "I made a mistake. The mistake I made was losing control of the company." He was married three times, including to actress Jane Fonda for 10 years, and had five children. The CNN founder battled depression and often spoke of suicide, according to his biographer.

I spent the afternoon with the Tory leader during her last campaign visit outside London. We talked about the local election results and its challenges, her views on Nigel Farage and his £5m "gift", and the role of charm in politics. She was honest about the scale of the job ahead, blaming "multiparty politics" as the reason for likely losses on Thursday. But she urged people to measure her against last year's results rather than pointing out she'd gone backwards since the general election. I also wanted to interrogate her instincts on what she says is the number one priority for Britain - growth - and ask her about some of the stories about growth, blockages, and the role of local councils in saying no and raising taxes. I was surprised by the answers. Given the clarity of the national message on the need for growth, I was curious how she responded to findings of a Sky News investigation that seven of the top 10 councils with the highest number of "unreasonable decisions" on planning on appeal were Tory. Rather than promise to clear red tape and side with business, she instead defended the right of Tory councils to say no to infrastructure projects. Indeed, the Tory leader went further, adding that people outside London were justified in feeling resentful at developments in their area because the capital did not have to shoulder its fair share of development. I put to her that 181 cases of "unreasonable" planning decisions were made by the seven top Tory councils alone, and asked if the reality was that "Tory councils are NIMBY councils". She started by saying she had not seen the research, but would probably dispute it. But then she suggested she understood where blockers were coming from, saying: "Most people are now very resentful of a lot of infrastructure because they think that things are imposed on their communities while other people are getting away with not doing that. "You look at London. London building has fallen by about 80%, this is one of the things that's going wrong, and then lots of other areas are having to pick up the burden. So I do understand sometimes why some councillors feel that they're having to pick up an unfair share of the burden while Labour allows its councils to get away with it." Asked again if the Tories locally were blocking growth unreasonably, again Ms Badenoch sided against the builders, citing approvingly an example of blocking in her own constituency. "Every local council has its own unique issues. In my area, for instance, we have a problem with pylons that are being driven by Ed Miliband's net zero agenda. It's not actually going to help deliver cheaper, cleaner energy for the people who are there. I think we're right to oppose that. It all depends on the specifics." Then there is tax. She often asserts that Tory councils have a better track record on council tax than those led by other parties. But this year, some 30 of the 35 Tory-led councils have put up council tax near or at the maximum permitted without a referendum - a pattern broadly similar to those councils run by other parties. Again, her answer was to defend the councils, rather than acknowledge there might be a challenge with the party's low-tax rhetoric or need to work harder to bring down council tax. She said: "One of the things that we need to recognise is that many councils get their money from the government. You look at the rural payments grants. Labour has changed this to favour urban areas. That's one of reasons why Conservative councils, which are quite often in rural areas, are having to do things differently. "But you look at the services they provide. They're still delivering more compared to other councils… I'm not saying Conservative councils are perfect. I'm not saying they don't do anything wrong, but across the board, you can rely on them." Kemi Badenoch is the least unpopular party leader in some polls (-6 in one survey this week) and more popular than the Tory brand because she is seen as able to speak honestly about the situation. But in the heat of battle, this close to an election, the tug of politics on the ground remains curiously at odds with the national message. This close to an election, her priority turns out to be telling people what they want to hear. Let's see how that fares on Thursday. This interview is part of a series that Sky News will be conducting with party leaders ahead of the May elections.

Here, Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol answers the key questions as the frustration appears to growing in Madrid... Tensions rising at Real Madrid as Mbappe saga reaches 'flashpoint'Petition calling for Real Madrid to sell Mbappe reaches 30m signaturesWhy are Real Madrid fans unhappy with Mbappe? Mbappe has become a scapegoat. Real Madrid are not going to win a trophy again this season but the fans are particularly unhappy about the fact that he flew off in a private jet to Sardinia for a romantic break with his actress girlfriend Ester Exposito last week when he was recovering from a hamstring injury. He returned to Madrid on Sunday evening just minutes before Real Madrid kicked off away at Espanyol and it hasn't gone down well with Real Madrid 11 points behind Barcelona. There is an El Clasico on Sunday and it is likely Barcelona will be crowned LaLiga champions again. Meanwhile, Real's star player has been off on holiday. His representatives have made it clear the player had permission to go away for a few days and he is following the rehabilitation programme which has been put in place for him by Real Madrid's medical team. But despite that, the frustration in Madrid appears to be growing. An online petition for Real Madrid to get rid of Mbappe has grown rapidly and now has more than 30m signatures. If they are all genuine people, that would make it a world record-breaking petition. To keep things in perspective, the population of Spain is about 50m, but Real Madrid claim to have 600m fans worldwide. Many of them appear to have turned on Mbappe because they see him as a symbol of what has gone wrong at the club, despite his 85 goals in two seasons. Is there wider unrest at Real Madrid than just Mbappe? Despite Mbappe's goals, Real Madrid have not won a major trophy since he joined them on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain two summers ago. To make matters worse, PSG won the Champions League for the first time in the season after he left and they are back in the final later this month. PSG basically decided he was more trouble than he was worth. Mbappe is an incredible talent but his lack of work-rate off the ball meant that Luis Enrique, who is arguably the best manager in the world right now, was not that unhappy when he left. For Luis Enrique, the team always come first and if you don't run, you don't play. If you watch Mbappe play, he is the kind of player who, when his side doesn't have the ball, he does very little. He hangs around the centre circle waiting for someone to pass to him and in modern football, that doesn't work. PSG were more than happy when 'the Mbappe circus' left town and relations were so toxic that the player and his former club have been involved in a long-running financial dispute about the terms of his contract and his departure. Also, Real Madrid fans are asking the question again and again, can we have a side with Vincius Jr and Mbappe in it? There's no balance if you have both of those players in the side. That's another reason why we have seen this petition and why some Real fans want to get rid of Mbappe. Transfer Centre LIVE!Got Sky? Watch Premier League games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky?

What is interesting is what might happen at Real Madrid this summer. 'The Mbappe Problem' is one of the big issues for the next Real Madrid manager. Mbappe, and the rest of the powerful dressing room, have already seen off Xabi Alonso this season, but they are unlikely to have things their own way if Jose Mourinho returns this summer. Mourinho is the leading candidate to take over from Alvaro Arbeloa and the Benfica manager has a 10-day €3m (£25.9m) break clause which can be activated later this month. If Mourinho was to take over, you would imagine all the players would be given a clean slate but no one could ever be more powerful than the manager. Mourinho is not the kind of manager who is going to put up with Mbappe's perceived ego, tantrums on the training ground or flying off on romantic holidays when you are injured. He would also have to decide once and for all whether Mbappe and Vinicius Jnr could play in the same side - as previously mentioned, many Real Madrid fans think it has to be one or the other. Would Real Madrid consider selling Mbappe and where could he go? Mbappe has three years left on his contract and despite the petition, it is unlikely he will be sold any time soon. Any talk of him playing in the Premier League soon is premature. If he were to leave, his transfer fee would be in the region of £200m and in the new era of Squad Cost Ratio rules, who would be able to afford that kind of fee, his sizeable wages and bonus demands? If he does ever leave the Bernabeu, his next destination is likely to be Saudi Arabia. Three years ago, Al Hilal made a £260m offer to sign him from PSG. He was not interested then but they could have more luck if they try again in the latter stages of his career and in the run-up to the World Cup in Saudi Arabia in 2034. What's next in the Mbappe saga? The big question is whether Mbappe will be fit to play any part in the Clasico at Barcelona on Sunday night. There is a World Cup firmly on the horizon and Mbappe will be one of the big stars of the tournament this summer and that is something that has not escaped the attention of Real Madrid supporters. Many of them are convinced that he is prioritising country over club as he aims to make up for the disappointment of losing the 2022 final - despite scoring a hat-trick in the final - by going one better this time. In their words, the reason he is having this extended holiday, is because he wants to be 100 per cent to try and win the World Cup again this summer. France are in a group with Senegal, Iraq and Erling Haaland's Norway. Getting away from Madrid for a few months and showing the world what he can on the biggest stage will be the perfect opportunity for him to reset his relationship with the demanding fans in the Bernabeu. France begin their World Cup campaign against Senegal at the MetLife Stadium, which is also the venue for the final. Mbappe will have mixed feelings about playing there again. He was in the starting XI when Real Madrid lost 4-0 to PSG in the Club World Cup semi-final.

Norfolk Constabulary said in a statement that officers were called to Wolferton shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday "following a report a man was behaving in an intimidating manner in the village". The force said: "Officers attended, and the man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon. "He was taken to King's Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning and remains in custody." According to the Telegraph, the arrest came after the former prince was confronted by a balaclava-clad man while walking his dogs. The man was said to have spotted Andrew 50 yards away, then exited his vehicle and made his way towards him while shouting. The outlet reported that the incident took place on public land in a lane close to the Sandringham Royal Parkland. Andrew moved into Marsh Farm in Norfolk last month, after moving out of Royal Lodge in February. The palace had announced last October that the King had started the process of removing the style, title and honours of the former prince after the Jeffrey Epstein-linked allegations against him had started to "distract" from the Royal Family's work. Read more from Sky News:Major disruption on railways expected until end of the dayPurported suicide note left by Jeffrey Epstein released Andrew has previously denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein and vehemently denied all allegations against him. He had lived at Royal Lodge, a 30-room mansion on the Windsor Estate, for more than 20 years.

Surrey Police clocked his Land Rover Defender at 96mph but believe he reached over 105mph during the 9 January incident. PC Alexander McAlpine said he witnessed Hollywood's car "repeatedly bully other vehicles out of its way, through use of unsafe tailgating" on the M25 in heavy afternoon traffic. He said the car would repeatedly close to "less than five metres" from other vehicles to "push any traffic that was in front of them out of the lane". The officer told the court he matched Hollywood's speed and hit a "peak" of around 105mph on the M26, with his speed "above 90mph for an extended period". The celebrity baking judge - who's been on the hit show for 16 years - was pulled over and blamed it on a pet emergency. "The driver stated that the reason for their urgency and driving behaviour was transporting an unwell cat," the PC told the court. Hollywood received five points and was told to pay £530 in fines and costs after pleading guilty to speeding last week. He was also accused of driving without due care and attention but he denied the charge and it was dropped.

Jordan Linden, 30, was convicted of 10 offences - including five sexual assaults, stalking and sexual communication - following a trial at Falkirk Sheriff Court in March. Linden returned to the dock for sentencing on Wednesday and was jeered by a crowd as he arrived to court. He was initially scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday, but proceedings were postponed due to defence lawyer David Moggach KC being unavailable. While going to and from court, Sky News' Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies repeatedly asked the convicted sex offender if he wished to apologise to his victims. Linden replied: "I don't have any comment to make at this time." The offences took place over a 10-year period between 2011 and 2021. Police Scotland said all of the victims were either boys or young men, with the youngest aged just 14. The force said Linden, who also chaired the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) between 2015 and 2016, sexually assaulted two victims at a house party following a Dundee Pride parade in 2019. He was eventually charged in February 2024 but denied any wrongdoing. In total, Linden was convicted of five sexual assaults; three counts of stalking; one count of coercing a person to look at a sexualised image and communicating indecently; and one count of intentionally causing another person to look at a sexual image without consent. In mitigation, defence lawyer Mr Moggach said his client had faced difficulties in his teenage years due to bullying and suffered "social isolation". That was said to have changed when he joined the SYP. Mr Moggach said Linden had been diagnosed with autism in 2021, adding: "It highlighted his lack of awareness of social boundaries and may go some way to explain the behaviour. "Subsequent to 2021 there has been no offending. There is an awareness on Mr Linden's part of how his behaviour was simply unacceptable. "He now appreciates that he overstepped certain boundaries and now knows where those boundaries are. This has been a hugely significant and sobering experience for him." Mr Moggach urged Sheriff Christopher Shead to impose a non-custodial sentence. However, the sheriff said: "I've reflected on the submissions of Mr Moggach and reached the conclusion that the nature of the offences is such that the test has been met and that custody is the only appropriate disposal." As well as the 18-month jail term, Linden was additionally placed on the sex offenders' register. Linden stepped down as North Lanarkshire Council leader in July 2022, which at the time led to the collapse of the SNP administration. He later quit the council and the party in March 2023. During his trial, some witnesses testified their complaints were downplayed or ignored by adults in the SYP and SNP. Following the sentencing, the SYP said it "recognises the seriousness of this case and the concern it has caused". A spokesperson for the board added: "SYP twice commissioned external investigations into how we handled allegations made against Linden in 2016, which established there was no evidence of criminality based on the information we had at that time, and that we had properly followed procedures and guidelines in place. "In November 2017, we also referred fresh allegations to Police Scotland, which is responsible for investigating potential criminality, and it later confirmed that no criminality had been established and its inquiry concluded. "After further allegations emerged in 2022, the SYP fully supported Police Scotland and the Crown Office investigation which subsequently led to Linden's conviction. "Throughout this period, SYP referred concerns to the appropriate authorities and cooperated fully with external investigations." Read more from Sky News:Rocks thrown at Jewish community ambulanceBoy arrested after petrol bombs thrown at police The SNP said it had undertaken a "comprehensive review" of its complaints procedures since 2016. However, in light of the case, party leader John Swinney has since instructed for an independent review of them. A spokesperson for the party said: "The SNP welcomes the verdict against Jordan Linden and commends the bravery of the individuals who came forward and shared their experiences with the police. "We hope that today's sentencing will provide some measure of justice for the victims of Mr Linden's actions." Days after Linden's conviction, Tracy Carragher, the leader of the SNP group on North Lanarkshire Council, was suspended by the party and dropped as a Holyrood election candidate pending an investigation. The move came amid criticism of her handling of complaints made against Linden prior to his arrest. Ms Carragher, who was called as a defence witness during the trial, said she would "fully co-operate" with the probe. She added: "I understand the importance of ensuring that concerns are examined properly and I am confident that due process will allow the facts to be established."

The 33-year-old's previous Seagulls deal was due to expire in the summer of 2027, but he has now committed his future to Brighton until the summer of 2029. Hurzeler's new deal comes amid a growing list of admirers both domestically and in Germany. It is understood he was being closely watched by Bundesliga sides, with Bayer Leverkusen very interested in him. Brighton news & transfers🔵⚪ | Brighton fixtures & scoresGot Sky? Watch Brighton games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 But Brighton owner Tony Bloom has shown his commitment towards Hurzeler, who became the youngest Premier League permanent head coach in history at the age of 31 when he joined from St Pauli in the summer of 2024. In his second season in charge, Brighton are pushing for a European spot as they sit eighth in the Premier League with just three matches left. Hurzeler said after signing his new contract: "I absolutely love working for this club and living in the city and I am delighted to have agreed a new contract. "To have this long-term commitment from the club is an honour, and one which only reinforces my desire to succeed in delivering on our shared long-term vision. "From the beginning, our focus has always been on forging an identity, developing the team, challenging the establishment and pushing our standards every day. I'm proud of what we have done so far, and even more excited about what is still to come." From sacked chants to new contract In early February, sections of the fan base were calling for the German to be sacked after a 1-0 home loss to rivals Crystal Palace. But a run of six wins in nine games has seen Hurzeler improve the team's fortunes to leave them well in the race for a European place. A growing connection with the fan base has undoubtedly helped his cause with improved atmospheres in recent home games. Chairman Bloom said: "Since his appointment, Fabian has continued the progress the club has made in recent seasons with consistent on-pitch performances, and he has developed a clear playing identity. "This season, he has built on the foundations laid during his first season in which he led us to an impressive eighth place. During his time as head coach the team has shown resilience, intensity and control. With three games to play we are pushing for a strong finish. "Fabian's principles and approach align with our values as a club, and we're delighted to have agreed this new extended contract; it reflects our commitment to a shared long-term vision." 'Hurzeler is a coach with a very bright future' Hurzeler will aim to surpass his eighth-place finish last season to secure European football for only the second time in the club's history. He could even match their highest-ever Premier League finish of sixth as they sit two points off sixth-placed Bournemouth - and sixth could be enough for Champions League qualification. Brighton deputy chairman and chief executive Paul Barber said: "Fabian's leadership qualities are very clear for us, and over the past two seasons he has proven himself as an exceptional coach with a very bright future. "We are delighted that will be here with us in the short, medium and longer term. Fabian is hugely respected by staff and players across the club and across the wider game. His work is underpinned by a clear vision, work ethic and strategy. "It's a pleasure to work alongside him and our focus now will be to give him all we can to help him succeed as we plan for a bright future."
