The 43-year-old Swiss man was apprehended on Monday. A 22-year-old Italian woman was killed and five other people were injured in the shooting at the Schachen racecourse in Aarau during the early hours of Sunday. In a post on X, Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, named the woman as Maria Spinelli. "My thoughts also go to the other injured, including two Italian citizens, and to all the people involved, " she wrote. The "Aarau Rave VOL. 7" was taking place at the horse racing track, Swiss public broadcaster SRF reported. Swiss police launched a major operation after the shooting in the capital of the northern Swiss canton of Aargau. "As part of the initiated search measures, a 43-year-old Swiss man was apprehended shortly before 1am on Monday, 31 August, 2026. The man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of committing a crime," they said in a statement. "The investigation into the exact sequence of events, the background, and the possible motive is currently under way. "At this time, it is assumed that the perpetrator acted alone." A witness told Swiss newspaper Blick that shots were fired ‌around 2.30am local time (1.30am UK time) and that he tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate a woman who was bleeding from a gunshot wound. Police previously said the woman died at the scene, while four men and one woman, aged between 24 and 27, were in hospital with injuries ranging from minor to severe. All victims are Swiss residents. The town of Aarau, which has about 22,300 residents, is around 28 miles west of Zurich. The organisers' website ⁠advertised the event as a techno party at a covered horse racetrack, with 3,500 people expected to attend.

The Aargau Racing Club, which runs the horse tracking track, expressed shock at the shooting. "We extend our deepest sympathy to all those affected and their families, who are facing this difficult and trying situation," it said on its website. Swiss DJ Tekibo, who performed at the rave, wrote on Instagram that "what happened at Aarauer rave is absolutely heartbreaking". "Techno and raves are supposed to be a place for freedom and safety, never a place where something like this happens," he added.

The executives, who asked not to be named, also noted that while casting the duchess might generate interest, it would also be "risky". Harry and Meghan landed in the UK this week - just days after announcing they would relocate to the country with their children Archie and Lilibet. The couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and went to live in California. The surprise announcement sparked speculation - and the duchess was said to have had talks about a role in season three of Guy Ritchie's Netflix hit, The Gentlemen. One producer who has worked with Netflix told us: "You don't uproot your family for one role in a show." They added: "There's no chance the reason they're coming back is TV roles like The Gentlemen." As for whether Meghan could join the cast of the show, they added: "I think the producers have said, 'There's a part for two episodes, let's look into that' - but then decided, 'reverse, reverse, the publicity is terrible'. "I doubt the producers or Netflix are enjoying this kind of attention." Another told us that if she was cast, "I don't think people would stop watching because she is in it. They have a fanbase already and there is the possibility that Meghan could add some audience." The insiders agree the duchess would "attract publicity", which could generate "higher ratings" for shows. But casting her would come with its own set of problems, too, the industry insiders have told us. "You need actors who inhabit roles and are believable. How do you get over the fact she's a duchess?" said one. "I don't think Meghan would get a project greenlit just with her attached because, despite her being quite famous, it's quite an unknown, and she is divisive." Since the Sussexes left their lives as full-time working royals, their popularity in the UK has plummeted.

"Imagine the security we would need on set," said another TV insider. When she married Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan ended her acting career to focus on her charitable causes and royal duties. She rose to fame on the screen playing paralegal Rachel Zane in the show Suits for seven series. Together, Harry and Meghan signed multi-million-pound deals with Spotify for a podcast series and with Netflix for programmes including the duchess's lifestyle show With Love, Meghan. Their podcast deal ended, and Meghan's Netflix show was not renewed for a third season, but it's reported that the Sussexes remain on a downgraded first-look deal with the streaming giant. 👉Listen to This Is Why on your podcast app👈 And the couple were executive producers on the documentary Cookie Queens, which was released in January. There is little precedent for women who marry into the Royal Family returning to their careers. When Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, married Prince Edward, she gave up her job working in PR. "It will be hard for Meghan to find the right roles. She's had success, and she's a good actress," another executive said. "But she's not Grace Kelly, who was a world-famous actress who became a princess."

The former foreign secretary and Braintree MP said the capital needed "a champion, someone who understands its potential and is prepared to fight for its future". Sir James - who has served as shadow housing secretary since July 2025 - revealed on Saturday that he had told Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch of his decision to stand down. Writing for The Sunday Times, he said: "We need a credible big hitter putting themselves forward for Mayor of London." Politics latest: Burnham to abstain on assisted dying The former minister said he had stepped down to "concentrate fully on winning this race". He added: "I have told Kemi Badenoch that I will leave the shadow cabinet. Serving there has been a privilege, and I know there will continue to be strong voices around that table. "But to run the most effective campaign possible, I must be free to speak about every aspect of London's future and concentrate fully on winning this race." In a post on X, he said: "London needs more than an administrator. It needs a champion, someone who understands its potential and is prepared to fight for its future. "That's why I'm running to be the Conservative Candidate for London Mayor." Sadiq Khan has served as mayor of London since 2016 and is yet to confirm whether he will run for a fourth term. The next mayoral election is scheduled to be held in on 4 May 2028.

The deal for the right wing-back is understood to be worth up to £22m. Munoz, who is reunited with former Palace boss Oliver Glasner at the City Ground, has joined on a three-year deal with the option for a fourth. Transfer Centre LIVE! | Forest news & transfers🔴⚪Forest fixtures & scores | FREE Forest highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Premier League games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Latest Sky Sports deals or stream PL games with no contract📺 Palace opened the door for the 30-year-old's exit by signing Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise. They secure a profit on a player they signed from Genk for £8.5m in January 2024. Colombia international Munoz was a crucial player in Palace's Conference League and FA Cup triumphs. Could Henderson join Munoz at Nottingham Forest? Crystal Palace have no plans to sell any more of their players to Nottingham Forest in the final days of the transfer window. Last week, a report has emerged of a bid from Forest to sign Palace's goalkeeper and captain Dean Henderson. But Sky Sports News has been told categorically that Henderson will not be allowed to depart before the deadline. Palace plan to support new head coach Pierre Sage in the final days of the transfer window. Are Forest planning anything else before the transfer deadline? Nottingham Forest could make a late move for Newcastle forward Jacob Murphy. Forest are keen on Murphy and are in the market for forwards amid the departure of Omari Hutchinson to AC Milan. Newcastle have not formally been made aware yet but there is believed to have been interest from Forest earlier in the window, as well as Everton. Newcastle are looking to add new forward options themselves with interest in Lille's Matias Fernandes Pardo and Stuttgart's Bilal El Khannouss. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt are in talks with Forest to re-sign Arnaud Kalimuendo on loan. The striker was on loan at the German club for the second half of last season and they now want to do another loan potentially with an option to buy Kalimuendo permanently. He was left out of the matchday 18 on Saturday as Forest drew 2-2 at Liverpool. Sky Sports News has already reported that Forest's proposed move for Harrison Armstrong from Everton has broken down. After receiving an approach from Forest, Sky Sports News understands the board is unanimous in its decision to not sell the player. What else are Palace working on before Deadline Day? Crystal Palace are now close to an agreement with Atalanta to sign Honest Ahanor on loan. Sky Sports News understands that the proposal is for Ahanor to join the Eagles on a season-long loan from Atalanta and then join Chelsea permanently next summer. Chelsea have been in talks to sign him permanently from Atalanta for around £40m. He cannot be loaned from Chelsea to Palace because Axel Disasi is already on loan at Selhurst Park. In terms of outgoings, Ismaila Sarr wants to leave Palace before the deadline. However, Palace insist the player is still not for sale and he still has a contract until 2029. Liverpool made an approach for the Senegal international in the past week. He is one of a number of options under consideration at Liverpool, including Yankuba Minteh at Brighton. Sarr has missed Palace's first two games of the season through injury. The window closes on Tuesday at 11pm.

Eight people are known to have died, with divers still scouring the deep waters for any last survivors. The ferry had 267 people on board when it took on water and flipped over just off the port city of Kyrenia on Sunday. Survivors were rescued by coastguard and passing boats as they clung to the overturned hull. The ship has now sunk to the seabed, more than 500 metres below the surface. It is unknown whether anyone remains trapped inside the hull. "We've been waiting since ​the morning, for 12 hours or maybe more," said Naif Ezer, one of those waiting outside the port for news of the missing passengers. Of three friends ⁠traveling home to see families, one had been found but the other two were ‌still missing, he added. Some of those waiting sat and silently wept, while others scrolled mobile phones for updates. Many of the victims and survivors are believed to be Turkish nationals who took the ferry back to their country, Tumay Tugyan, a local journalist, told Sky News. Authorities have detained ​the captain and crew of the vessel for questioning over what happened. Survivors' accounts have suggested the boat set off in "stormy weather", Tugyan said. She added: "As soon as they departed they got into a storm. All of the passengers asked them to go back but they didn't." "The ⁠vessel had been moving very badly," survivor Efe Multici told CNN Turk. "It was constantly lifting out of the water and slamming back down. It was shaking violently." He said, shortly after that, the ferry "leapt high into the air, then came crashing down". "The front left side burst open and water started pouring in," Multici added. The government of the self-styled Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has declared a three-day mourning period over the accident, which began on Monday.

Cullen, who gave voice to Eeyore and Optimus Prime in numerous TV shows and films, died surrounded by his family. The Canadian actor also voiced the titular character in the 1987 Predator movie. A family statement issued by his agent read: "Peter Cullen passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family - and held in the hearts of his many friends and countless fans worldwide. "His family asks that you honour his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty and always remember, be strong enough to be gentle." Cullen first voiced Optimus Prime in the 1980s TV show The Transformers and its spin-off film The Transformers: The Movie (1986). He reprised the role in 2007 in the first live action film of the series directed by Michael Bay. He went on to appear as the shapeshifting truck robot in Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), Bumblebee (2018), and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023), as well as numerous other TV projects.

Alongside his more famous roles, the actor provided the voice of the title role in King Kong (1976) and King Kong Lives (1986), as well as voicing Grundle and Ahgg in My Little Pony: The Movie (1986). In 2023, he won the lifetime achievement award at the Children's and Family Emmy Awards.

A survey carried out by YouGov pollsters showed 50% favoured the measure. Only a minority (16%) of the 6,142 people surveyed on Wednesday opposed an embargo, while 34% did not know. While backing for a ban was strongest among Labour, Lib Dem and Green voters, the policy had cross-party support. The majority of surveyed Conservative and Reform voters said they "strongly support" a prohibition. About a third of the governing Labour party MPs (140) in June had signed a letter calling for an Israeli settlement trade ban. The government confirmed in July it was working towards a ban on imports and exports to illegal Israeli settlements. Both services and goods will be prohibited from flowing to and from the outposts, the trade minister at the time, Sir Chris Bryant, told MPs of the Business and Trade Committee. The policy will be announced in September, according to reporting in The Times and Middle East Eye. How would it work? Exactly how a ban is implemented is unclear but the current sanctions regime could be used, Sir Chris told the committee last month. Another difficulty arises from identifying where goods come from. "We all know perfectly well that it's very difficult to enforce [customs rules] because [Palestinian] territories and the settlement areas and, and the rest of Israel... goods travel in and out very easily, both heavy machinery and foodstuffs and so on," Sir Chris said. Also considered by the UK government, though ultimately rejected, was pausing its trade agreement with Israel. The Department for Business and Trade undertook an impact assessment on suspending the UK-Israel Trade Partnership Agreement, the 2019 post-Brexit continuity arrangement through which Israeli imports mostly enter the UK tariff-free. Attempts to access the impact assessment have been denied by the department, in part, on international relations grounds. "Disclosing the information would be likely to prejudice the UK's relationship with Israel," the department told Sky News. What are settlements? Israeli settlements, in areas like the West Bank, have long been opposed by the UK government, which believes them to be a breach of international law and a threat to a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. Settlements have rapidly expanded in recent years, with more planned by the Israeli government. Palestinians face increasing attacks and, in the past weeks, have had homes besieged. Creating settlements can involve confiscating land and displacing Palestinians, which is illegal under the Geneva Convention, as is the moving of Israeli civilians into territory Israel occupies. Israel disputes this, saying it cannot be classed as an occupying power, as no country owned the land before it took the territory in 1967, and it has not transferred its population to the territories; people move freely.

The goalkeeper returns to the WSL after a two-year spell in France with PSG, something she describes as 'a very different environment'. Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports ahead of the WSL's return on September 4, when London City face her former side, Manchester United, Earps said: "I really feel like I was able to go away and work on myself for a couple of years. There were things in my game that I've been able to kind work on as well. Transfer Centre LIVE! | WSL latest news and transfersGot Sky? Watch WSL games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Latest Sky Sports deals or stream WSL games with no contract📺 "As a person, living away from home, immersing yourself in a new language, in a new culture, a new city, a new country, it teaches you a lot of things about yourself. It gives you space to reflect and figure out more about who you are and who you want to be as a person." Earps has never been afraid of the big move. She also played for German giants Wolfsburg for a year before joining Man Utd and it's that experience that gives her empathy for the players coming to England. "There's people who are maybe moving clubs for the first time," she said. "There's people moving countries, speaking different languages. I know how hard that is, but even moving back to England and speaking English, it's still a transition." And the list of players now at London City is eye-watering. The biggest is Alexia Putellas - the Ballon d'Or winner who left her childhood club Barcelona for Bromley. Her team-mate Mapi Leon followed, as has Kadidiatou Diani. That's before we even talk about the players already there, like Kosovare Asllani, Delphine Cascarino and Grace Geyoro. While these players, Earps included, are used to superstardom, they are still the newbies - dauting for anyone - but such an experience fosters a comradery vital for a successful team. The goalkeeper explained: "I feel very much part of the newness of it all, and it's nice when other people are experiencing that for the first time as well, but even the players that have been here before, they've maybe only been here a year or so. "But that's what happens when you're a brand new entity and it's exciting because you get to be a part of that history, and I do believe that London City will go on to do incredible things for a long time. That's a massive reason why I came here. "It's great in a way because it's like everyone's first day at school. You say 'oh, I'm so nervous', but everyone is nervous because everyone's doing the same thing. "But there's a lot of experience in the room as well. A lot of the players have won trophies, have incredible pedigree, so we're all bonded by that experience and maybe bumping into each other or playing against each other in some way. "I honestly can't speak highly enough of the group that I've experienced so far and they've been brilliant at welcoming me." It's not yet clear if Earps will be the London City No1. She will likely fight for the shirt alongside last season's first choice, Elene Lete - who signed a new deal this summer - with Sophia Poor and Sophie Hillyerd also among the goalkeeping group. London City will want to tighten up at the back too, conceding 35 WSL goals last season. Not the worst, but for context, the top two - Manchester City and Arsenal - conceded 33 between them. Chelsea only let in 20, and if the club has any ambitions of unseating the Big Three, their number needs to dramatically reduce. So how does the former WSL Golden Glove winner go about building that solidity with her new defenders? "It's getting to know them because every individual is so different," Earps explained. "It's a lot of small details which make a big difference. "Full-back and centre-back are two very different positions. Then you've got everyone's individual qualities and that is probably the hardest part - getting to know things like their starting positions, how they want to do the recovery runs, what position they going to take up in the box or how they like to receive the ball - do they like it in front of them, at them? Are they going to take two steps forward? "And equally, they've got to get to know me, understand my position and where I like to be, what type of goalkeeper I am, so it's a lot of working it out on the pitch. "I sometimes grab a conversation over lunch or in between reps and we're bouncing ideas off each other all the time." London City's first test will come on September 4 as they open the WSL season against Man Utd at Hayes Lane, live on Sky Sports. Earps' former side have had a turbulent summer, losing key players as well as changing head coach. Former Hearts boss Eva Olid replaced Marc Skinner, who left by mutual consent after five years. "I was at Man Utd for five years. I have incredible memories there and met some incredible people," Earps said. "I know the club has changed a lot. There's not so many of the faces there that I know, but equally, they still have incredible players. "It will be a really tough game, but I'm looking forward to it and I love a challenge. The support of Man Utd is always fantastic, home and away, so I know they'll come to Bromley and try and make it a difficult atmosphere for us. "I don't know the ins and outs of everything, but I won an FA Cup with Marc and I will always really cherish that memory. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it, to be honest. "He also helped the club get to three other finals, so I think that speaks for itself and I wish him all the best in his next chapter." Now though, Earps focus is on her own new chapter and another landmark chapter for London City. It remains to be seen how this headline-grabbing summer will translate onto the pitch - but it's one neither fans, nor the players, will forget in a hurry.
