Two boys, aged 12 and 13, are in a serious condition in hospital after Tuesday's attack at Kingsbury High School in Brent, northwest London. Police launched a search for the suspect, and officers later detained a 13-year-old boy. The investigation is being led by counter-terror police, although a terrorist incident has not been declared. Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams said detectives are "keeping an open mind as to any motivation behind the attack". Police and ambulance crews were called to reports of a stabbing at the school at around 12.40pm. A search for the suspect - identified as a teenage boy - was launched after it was established he had left the scene. Simon Theodorou, a parent of a child at the school, told The Telegraph the attacker "managed to get his way in by climbing over a wall". The Metropolitan Police confirmed the boy had been arrested shortly after 6pm, and a weapon was recovered. He remains in custody, while the two victims are still in hospital. One was taken to a major trauma centre "as a priority", the London Ambulance Service said. 'Deeply traumatic' In a letter to parents, the school's head teacher told parents the incident was a "deeply traumatic event for the whole school community". Alex Thomas said the lower school will remain shut on Wednesday, after some pupils were kept behind to speak to police officers more than three hours after their usual finishing time. Some were seen leaving in tears. 'No honour in staying silent' Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood described the attack as "shocking" and urged people to give police "space to pursue their investigation". The education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said her "heart goes out to the families affected" and that the government was supporting the school. According to the latest Department for Education information, it has 1,997 pupils. Local MP Bob Blackman and London mayor Sadiq Khan also expressed their shock, and the latter urged anyone with information to contact police. "There is no honour in staying silent," he added.

The 77-year-old called for for "a sense of proportion" and echoed his earlier witness statement, which said some of the claims "have astonished, appalled and - in the small hours of the night - reduced me to rage." Mr Dacre, who was editor of the Daily Mail between 1992 and 2018, was the first witness giving evidence in support of Associated Newspapers Limited's defence, entering the witness stand on Tuesday afternoon, in the fourth week of the trial. The group litigation is being brought by seven high-profile individuals, including The Duke of Sussex, Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley, who claim Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) hired private detectives to commit a series of unlawful acts between 1993 and 2011. The other claimants are David Furnish, Sadie Frost, anti-racism campaigner Baroness Doreen Lawrence, and Sir Simon Hughes. Allegations range from tapping their phones and bugging their homes to paying police officials for inside information and getting medical records by deception. ANL denies the allegations and says none of the information for the stories complained of was unlawfully obtained. Ex Mail boss: 'My heart bleeds for Doreen Lawrence' Mr Dacre, who is now the editor-in-chief of DMG Media, the holding company of ANL, previously told the Leveson Inquiry in 2012 there was "no phone hacking on the Daily Mail". When asked in court about documents showing the Daily Mail and The Mail On Sunday spent more than £3m on private investigators during the relevant period, Mr Dacre said while he had a "vague memory" of the discovery of such invoices, he was unable to comment on the sum without "more specifics". Early in his evidence, he said his "heart bleeds" for Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the mother of 1993 murder victim Stephen Lawrence, but would not generalise about his feelings towards the other six claimants. In his witness statement, Mr Dacre called Lady Lawrence's claims "especially bewildering and bitterly wounding to me personally". The paper conducted a 15-year campaign to bring Stephen's killers to justice, including a front-page story on Valentine's Day 1997, labelling five men - Gary Dobson, Neil Acourt, Jamie Acourt, Luke Knight, and David Norris - as "murderers" and challenging them to sue the newspaper for libel. Mr Dacre described it as "the campaign of which I am most proud". In her claim, Lady Lawrence alleges ANL had targeted her with hidden electronic surveillance, as well as tapping her landline, monitoring her bank account and making payments to police officers for confidential information, with the court told she felt "like a victim all over again". In his written evidence, Mr Dacre said that it was "inconceivable" that anyone at the Daily Mail would have carried out the alleged activities, and said the story was personally given to him by the then home secretary Jack Straw. He also said "the suggestion that we ran the campaign to generate exclusive headlines, sell newspapers and profit is sickeningly misplaced and bleakly cynical". Report was a 'wake-up' call When asked by the claimants' lawyer David Sherborne if he was motivated by a desire to "protect his legacy" rather than get to the truth, Mr Dacre said, while he did wish to clear his name, he also cared about the paper and "the honest and dedicated staff who work for it". Mr Dacre called a 2006 Information Commissioner's Office report, which showed journalists at the Mail were the top users of private detective Steve Whittamore, a "wake-up call" which set "alarm bells ringing". While he said he would not attempt to "justify the figures", he said in the three months following the report, he had "stamped out the use of search agencies". Mr Dacre also described his lack of technical know-how to the court, and said in his witness statement: "I didn't ever use a personal computer and barely knew how to log on." ANL's barrister Antony White KC has previously said that ANL was defending the claims both on their merits and for being brought too late and that the allegations in relation to Lady Lawrence "are denied in their entirety" and "are unsupported by the available evidence". Meanwhile, the claimants' lawyer Mr Sherborne has accused the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday of being engaged in unlawful information gathering over "at least two decades", claiming they have "skeletons in their closet". Giving evidence in the first week of the trial, Prince Harry opened up about his experiences with the media, appearing emotional as he recounted how the press "made my wife's life misery". Actress Liz Hurley gave evidence the following day, becoming tearful as she described the alleged "brutal invasion" of her privacy by the media. Mr Dacre will continue his evidence on Wednesday morning. The trial before Mr Justice Nicklin is due to conclude in March, with a judgment in writing due at a later date.

Anna Turley MP told Sky News "there's no place [...] in the Lords" for people like Matthew Doyle, who she suggested hadn't been truthful before being elevated to parliament's upper chamber earlier this year. Lord Doyle apologised and was suspended from Labour on Tuesday for his links to Sean Morton, who he campaigned for in 2017 after he had been charged over indecent images of children. The peer said he had believed Morton's initial assertions of innocence at the time, before he later pled guilty. Downing Street 10 was not aware Lord Doyle had campaigned for Morton at the time of his appointment, it is understood, and Ms Turley said "what we'd been told was not the truth when that decision was made". Asked if he should remain a peer, she told Sky News: "No, I don't think he should. That's my personal view." "There's no place for them in the Lords" for people who "have not been clear and transparent", she added. Politics Hub: Follow the latest Lord Doyle has apologised "unreservedly" for supporting Morton, who was a councillor in Moray, Scotland. He first appeared in court in connection with indecent child images in late 2016, and was suspended by Labour. He was running as an independent when Lord Doyle campaigned for him in May 2017. He didn't plead guilty until November that year. Lord Doyle said he had "extremely limited" contact with him after his conviction, and described his offences as "vile". "My thoughts are with the victims and all those impacted by these crimes," he added. He continued: "At the point of my campaigning support, Morton repeatedly asserted to all those who knew him his innocence, including initially in court. "He later changed his plea in court to guilty. "To have not ceased support ahead of a judicial conclusion was a clear error of judgment for which I apologise unreservedly. Those of us who took him at his word were clearly mistaken."

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has called on the prime minister to publish "vetting advice and due diligence" reports provided before the peer's appointment. A Labour spokesman said Lord Doyle had lost the party whip while an investigation is carried out, and added: "All complaints are assessed thoroughly in line with our rules and procedures."

Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher says Slot will not have a leg to stand on if Liverpool go from Premier League champions to finishing outside of the top-five after £450m was spent last summer - despite the Dutchman delivering the title last term. After Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Man City at Anfield on Sunday, Carragher claimed it is unlikely that Liverpool will finish in the top-five next season due to the form of the Reds' rivals. Liverpool began this midweek round of fixtures four points behind fifth-placed Chelsea - ahead of a trip to Sunderland on Wednesday.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 "That is again a difficult question for me to answer because I do not decide my future," Slot said on whether his future is dependent on Champions League football. However, Slot then mentioned how Liverpool stood by Klopp at the end of the 2022-23 season, when the Reds finished fifth - behind Erik ten Hag's Manchester United - and missed out on the Champions League football, hinting that it could be a good omen for him. "The only thing I do know is that it happened before, and recently, and it didn't affect the future of that manager," Slot said, referring to that season under Klopp. "But that doesn't guarantee anything of course." Slot: This is my toughest season by a mile Slot admits he is enduring by far the most challenging season of his managerial career as he attempts to secure a Champions League spot with Liverpool. "By a mile," the Dutchman said, when asked if it was his most difficult campaign. "Because all the other seasons I've managed there were only positives. I don't think I've ever lost two games in a row [before]. "It's an exception this season for me, as it is for the players. The players are not used to losing a lot or having a lot of draws. "It is different with the season we're having now than all the other seasons I've managed where we always did something special - and there's still the possibility that we can do something special this season as well." 'A long way back' - Carra expects Liverpool to miss out on CL spots On Sunday, Carragher revealed he expects Liverpool to miss out on Champions League qualification through the Premier League. The Sky Sports pundit said it is now "a long way back" for Arne Slot's side to finish in the top five, following their 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester City on Super Sunday. When asked if he reckons Liverpool will make the Premier League's qualifying places for the Champions League - which is set to be expanded from four positions to five again this season - Carragher replied on Sunday: "No. Right now, I don't. "They would have to have a huge upturn in form. And the ones above them are in great form. When you look at the league for Liverpool, it looks like a long road ahead to get into the top five Champions League positions. There's a gap now. You can make that up, but Liverpool will have to do well in the two cup competitions to save the season. "The manager has another decision to make on the front four," Carragher added. "If Liverpool continue the way they are, with a front four and the games end to end, I just don't see how they can make the Champions League positions. "But no matter what Arne Slot does, the make-up of this squad and team isn't right. It never looks stable, they are never in control. "There is a long road ahead for Liverpool to make the Champions League places." Neville: Win at Sunderland and Liverpool back on bike Carragher's fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville was more positive on Liverpool's top-five prospects - but said they must show mental resilience to bounce back from the defeat to City. "They're now four points behind the top five," he said on The Gary Neville Podcast. "That's not a big gap at all, and there's a long way to go, and they'll have to play most of the teams above them, so they've still got loads of opportunities. Listen to The Gary Neville Podcast "But there's a question mark over Liverpool. There is a question mark as to whether they will finish in the Champions League places. "I still think they will, but what they have to do is box that [defeat to City] up very quickly, and chuck it in a corner, and forget about it. "There'll be some who say it's happening far too often, conceding goals late on. There'll be those who say something's wrong, something's fundamentally wrong, structurally wrong. But I think they just need to try and compose themselves if they can. They need to pull themselves together. "They've got a lot of experience with Alisson, Alexis Mac Allister, Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and Ryan Gravenberch. They've got lots of players who know what to do. "Can they hold it together? Can they get back on the bike? "They go to Sunderland next. That is awkward. Go and win there if you really want to tell everybody that you're still going to be in the Champions League. Go and win at Sunderland, which will be a tough place to go. "Win there emphatically, be professional, keep a clean sheet, and that's where everyone needs to look now for Liverpool."

Local newspapers in El Paso and the New York Times cited "special security reasons".

The Grammy-winning star shared a statement on social media announcing her departure from Wasserman, led by Casey Wasserman, saying she holds her teams "to the highest standards" and has "a duty to protect them" as well. "No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values," she added. Roan, 27, said she refused to "passively stand by" and that artists "deserve representation that aligns with their values and supports their safety and dignity". The decision to leave Wasserman "reflects my belief that meaningful change in our industry requires accountability and leadership that earns trust", she concluded. Roan did not mention the Epstein files in her statement. Documents recently released by the US justice department included flirtatious email exchanges between Wasserman, who was married at the time, and Maxwell, from 2003. Wasserman, who is in charge of organising the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, has since apologised for communicating with Maxwell. "I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell," he said, adding it occurred "long before her horrific crimes came to light". Read more:Here's what we've found in the Epstein filesSurvivors condemn US govt's handling of files Wasserman said he "never had a personal or business relationship" with Jeffrey Epstein but that he did take part in a "humanitarian trip" on his plane. He added: "I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them." Wasserman's name appears in the official Epstein documents but no wrongdoing is alleged. Sky News has contacted the Wasserman agency for comment on Roan's departure. Maxwell, 64, is serving a 20-year jail term for her role in helping Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls. Yesterday, she refused to answer questions on the convicted sex offender before the US House Oversight Committee, citing her 5th amendment right to silence under the US constitution. Her lawyer told reporters Maxwell was "prepared to speak fully and honestly" in return for leniency on her sentence from Donald Trump. Epstein, who was convicted of sexual offences in 2008, was found dead in his prison cell in New York in August 2019, as he was awaiting trial after being charged with sex trafficking.

For Women Scotland (FWS) won the case last April when the UK's highest court ruled "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act 2010 refer to "a biological woman and biological sex". The Scottish government was ordered to pay a portion of the campaign group's legal costs, with FWS confirming on Tuesday it had received a "full and final settlement" of £392,500. In total, FWS has received £540,000 from the Scottish government. Adding this to its own legal costs, the SNP administration has spent at least £766,498.80 of taxpayers' money on two judicial reviews linked to the case. FWS said the funds received will be used to cover the costs of its current legal challenge against the government's policy on the management of transgender prisoners, and "any future legal action necessary to ensure the Scottish government complies with the law". In a statement, the group said: "We are eternally grateful for the overwhelming public support that enabled us to successfully challenge the Scottish government's unlawful actions and to clarify that 'woman', 'man' and 'sex' have always taken their biological meaning in the Equality Act 2010." Figures revealed by a Freedom of Information (FOI) request last year showed the Scottish government spent £216,182.50 on the judicial review at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, which FWS won in February 2022. This included £68,682.50 for its own counsel and court costs and £147,500 to cover FWS legal fees. The Scottish government then spent at least £550,316.30 on the judicial review at the UK Supreme Court in London. This included £392,500 to FWS and £157,816.30 for its own costs, although the campaign group noted that amount is "expected to rise slightly" to reflect the legal work in settling FWS's bill. That means the Scottish government has spent at least £766,498.80 on these two judicial reviews. Final costs are yet to be confirmed and will be published once complete. Read more from Sky News:Man sought after rape on university campusTeen sentenced for murder of 12-year-old Scottish Conservative shadow equalities minister Tess White MSP said the government had "taken far too long to pay what is owed". She added: "They should never have squandered taxpayers' cash in the first place on defending the indefensible. "Worse still, the Nationalists have not learned their lesson and are wasting even more public cash on a legal fight to allow male-bodied prisoners to be housed in women's jails." Ms White urged First Minister John Swinney to "grow a backbone and stop dancing to the tune of gender extremists". A Scottish government spokesperson said: "The Scottish government has made clear it accepts the Supreme Court ruling and is taking forward the detailed work necessary. "There is an established process whereby parties seek to establish the final costs payable for a legal case. "This has now concluded and payment has been settled."

Turning to the betting markets at times like this are always a reliable pointer. They have a habit of cutting through noise and sentiment. They don't deal in romance or reputation. They deal in cold, hard probability. And right now, they are sending a shiver down the white half of north London. Live Premier League table | Watch FREE PL highlightsGot Sky? Watch Premier League games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Since the turn of the year, the drop in odds when it comes to Spurs and the dreaded drop has been one-way traffic. 100/1. 66/1. 33/1. 10/1. As it stands, Spurs are now 5/1 with Sky Bet to be relegated from the Premier League. An implied probability of 16 per cent. Frank 'convinced' he will keep his job at TottenhamTottenham's upcoming fixtures Wouldn't it be just so Spurs to win the Champions League and suffer relegation? But this predicament is no joke. With just 12 games to play, Spurs, sensationally, have been dragged into a relegation scrap. They are more likely to be relegated than both Leeds and Sunderland. Who would have foreseen that when the first ball was kicked in August? Prices like this are built on performance data, remaining fixtures, underlying numbers and, crucially in Tottenham's case, the strength of those around you. And this is where their problem deepens. West Ham are in the midst of a tear in terms of points in the Premier League. Across the last six games, they have taken 10 points - the fourth most of any team. If it wasn't for stoppage time drama going against them against Chelsea and Manchester United, that figure would be 13. This is a West Ham team completely revamped by Nuno Espirito Santo. West Ham 1-1 Manchester United - Match report & highlightsAs it happened | Teams | Stats Despite some late swings going against them, this is a team that looks united playing in front of a fanbase that is seeing signs of survival. In the 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Tuesday night, the London Stadium rocked in the second half like it hasn't rocked since the special European nights of three years ago under David Moyes. "There's a team spirit here which they can cling on to," reported Sky Sports' Chris Reidy. "The players walk around the pitch applauding the fans, there's genuine belief they can stay up." Meanwhile, Thomas Frank has overseen just two wins from Tottenham's last 16 matches in the Premier League. If it looks like relegation form, quacks like relegation form, then it's probably relegation form. "Spurs are in a relegation battle," concluded Sky Sports' Michael Bridge. "There is no confidence in the side and no key players are close to returning." What makes this threat a serious one is that the bottom end of the Premier League is refusing to play along to the usual script when it comes to survival. The Hammers' recent surge has warped the safety line. It's injected a level of competitiveness that threatens to drag the survival bar higher than usual. This is starting to look like a season where even 38 points may not be enough to guarantee safety - 40 might be the real target. That is dangerous territory for any side stuck in a cycle of inconsistency. For a club that dines regularly at the top table, this is not just uncomfortable reading, it is downright alarming. 'West Ham's results are piling the pressure on' Former Tottenham defender Michael Dawson on Soccer Special: "It's an obvious answer. They are in a relegation battle. "West Ham's results are putting pressure on all the teams above them, including Spurs. Nottingham Forest and Spurs were never in danger because of what was happening below them, but now they have to start winning football matches. "Tottenham have won one in 11 in the Premier League. They have no wins in eight games. That is a concern. Frank has to realise it and the players have to realise it. "Yes, they have had numerous injuries. Frank is out of luck but that is the hand he has been dealt and he has to get the best out of the players. "Next up is Arsenal but then they have Fulham, Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. It's a huge run of games."
