Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said they were "a harrowing look behind Epstein's closed doors". "We are releasing these photos and videos to ensure public transparency in our investigation and to help piece together the full picture of Epstein's horrific crimes," Representative Robert Garcia said. The images are from Little Saint James, part of the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein is believed to have abused underage girls. Faces of men hang on the wall in one room - which also appears to be equipped with a dentist's chair, while the words "deception", "power" and "truth" are written in chalk in the study. Other images show a large shower room, a phone with some of the speed dial numbers redacted, and a photo of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell meeting Pope John Paul II. The US Department of Justice currently has until mid-December to release thousands of documents linked to civil and criminal cases involving Epstein. Donald Trump previously opposed the move, but changed his mind last month after US Congress overwhelmingly voted in favour. It could shed more light on the paedophile financier, who at one point socialised with the US president, as well as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson. All three men have denied wrongdoing. Some details have already been revealed after more than 20,000 other files were disclosed last month - but much more seems set to follow. The Epstein Files Transparency Act demands the release of all files relating to Epstein, including investigations, prosecutions, immunity and plea deals. It also orders the publication of records connected to Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence. Any flight logs and travel records for Epstein's vehicles must be disclosed, along with individuals named in relation to his criminal activities.

Politicians have said the release of the files is critical to uncovering whether powerful figures received special treatment or protection. It is also a response to criticism of a controversial 2008 plea deal in Florida, which allowed Epstein to avoid federal sex trafficking charges and plead guilty to lesser state charges. Epstein killed himself in a prison cell in New York in 2019 but conspiracy theories, once peddled by Mr Trump, remain. Documents related to his death, such as witness interviews and post-mortem reports, must also be released under the law passed last month.

But how does the streaming service calculate personalised summaries of users' listening habits and rank the UK's hottest artists? Here's a look at how your data is used. The platform describes the annual statistics as "a chance to look back on your year in sound". It says data is captured between January and mid-November on every account, although it mostly excludes anything streamed in private mode. (Don't worry, your passion for the Spice Girls can be kept secret.) Wrapped presents personalised listening statistics, which Spotify calls the "real story of your year of listening", alongside global figures for comparison. The streaming service says Minutes Listened reflects the actual time spent listening to audio on the platform. Once a user streams at least 30 tracks, Spotify generates a list of Your Top Songs. Similarly, Your Top Artists ranks artists based on total minutes listening to a particular performer. Other metrics identify the top genres users have played, as well as podcasts and audiobooks ranked by total minutes listened. And if you've listened to at least 70% of tracks on a record, you'll see top albums too. Spotify also creates Your Listening Age, a guesstimate of your age based on the era of the music "you feel most connected to". The streaming service says the statistic is calculated using a five-year span of music which users engaged with more than other listeners of a similar age. Swift vs Bunny Pop superstar Taylor Swift has been named the UK's most-streamed artist on Spotify for the third year in a row. But she dropped out of the top spot in the global rankings, coming second to Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, who secured more than 19.8 billion streams. Third were The Weeknd, followed by Drake and Billie Eilish. Bad Bunny's LP Debi Tirar Mas Fotos was the most listened-to album worldwide.

Despite being the most listened-to artist, Swift failed to break into the UK's top five most listened-to songs and albums of the year. Alex Warren's Ordinary was the most-streamed song, and Short 'N' Sweet, released by Carpenter last year, the top album.

"We now know the black hole was fake, the chancellor's book was fake, her CV was fake - even her chess claims are made up," said the Tory leader. Politics Live: Labour MP who voted against inheritance tax suspended "She doesn't belong in the Treasury; she belongs in la-la land." Chess claims made up? Where did that attacking move from Kemi come from? Hasn't the chancellor told us for years that she was a national chess champion in 1993? Indeed she has. "I am - I was - a geek. I played chess. I was the British girls' under-14 champion," she declared proudly in a 2023 interview with The Guardian. She posted a video showing her playing chess in parliament and before last week's budget posed for photos with a chessboard. But her chess champion claim has been disputed by a former junior champion, Alex Edmans, who has accused her of misrepresenting her credentials. "Her claim was quite specific," Edmans, now a professor of finance at the London Business School, told Ali Fortescue on the Politics Hub on Sky News. "She said she was the British girls' under-14 champion. There was one event that can go on that title, which is the British Championship. And in the year that she claimed, it was Emily Howard who won that title instead. "She did indeed win a quite different title. There was a British Women's Chess Association championship, but that's a more minor title. I've won titles like the British squad title, but that's not the same. "Just like running a marathon in London is not the same as the London Marathon, there was one event which is very prestigious, which is the British Championship. "So the dispute is not whether she was a good or bad chess player. That shouldn't be the criterion for a chancellor. But if you weren't the British champion, you shouldn't make that statement." Read more from Sky News:Mysterious tentacles wash up on Scottish beachAustralia's under-16s social media ban Oh dear! So now, along with allegations of plagiarism, a dodgy CV and "lying" - according to Ms Badenoch - about the nation's finances, the chancellor is between a rook and a hard place. Or is she? "This story is absolute nonsense," a Treasury mate told Sky News. No word from the No.10 knight, Sir Keir Starmer, or his Downing Street ranks, however. Emily Howard, as it happens, is now an accomplished composer, having graduated from the chessboard to the keyboard. The chancellor's opponents, meanwhile, claim her budget blunders means the Treasury queen has now become a pawn, there for the taking. But since Rachel Reeves did indeed win a chess title, just not the one she claimed, her supporters insist she can justifiably claim to have been a champion. So it's too soon for Kemi Badenoch and the Conservatives to claim checkmate. The dispute remains a stalemate. For now.

In their draw at St James' Park, Newcastle were controversially awarded a spot-kick after the Tottenham midfielder was penalised for pulling Burn to the floor, with questions over whether it was a foul. Speaking on a special midweek edition of Ref Watch, Dermot explained: "I think it raises a number of issues. "Just before the corner came in, Thomas Bramall went to the two players and said to Bentancur 'you're facing the wrong way'. 'I don't understand!' - Was VAR wrong to give Newcastle penalty against Spurs?Newcastle 2-2 Tottenham - Match report and highlightsRef Watch as it happened - Chelsea, Celtic, Rangers and more "He's told them. Now if I was that referee, when I go back to my position, that's who I'd be focused on. "Clubs were warned about players not facing the ball, which he never is. There's no doubt about it and he runs the risk of giving a penalty away. "The referee is focused on those players - you have to think that because he's made that decision. "So you would think he's seen that and thinks it's not a penalty. The VAR then looks and says 'is it a clear and obvious error.' "They're grappling and he [Bentancur] is not looking at the ball. The referee clears it, the VAR says no and the referee goes to the screen, where he sees something he didn't see in the match. "That's a mystery to me - why he identifies that and then ignores it." Former Premier League striker Jay Bothroyd also believed it was a penalty, adding: "When I initially saw this, I thought it could be a bit soft. The more I see it, the more I agree. It's a definite penalty. "When you learn how to play football, you learn how to mark. Your shoulders are open so you can see, you can feel and you can glance at the same time. "Dan Burn has initially tried to run there and then he's tried to duck around the other side. Bentancur has turned around because he knows he's in a bad decision and he's trying to block him. That's why I think he's given the penalty." There were plenty of other incidents analysed on Ref Watch too, including a five-and-a-half-minute VAR check at Molineux... Wolves 0-1 Nottingham Forest INCIDENT: Nottingham Forest had a goal disallowed at Wolves. As a corner came in, Igor Jesus headed home but keep your eye on the player just in front of the goalkeeper. The goal was initially given but VAR Rob Jones checked if Dan Ndoye was in an offside position and interfering with the eyeline of the goalkeeper. The process took over five minutes to review by VAR. DERMOT SAYS: "It was [the right decision], but too convoluted. "You could clear this up so quickly because you see the shot from behind the goal, it's clearly in the goalkeeper's line of vision. "You see it from the side, it's clearly in the goalkeeper's view and impacting because it's so close. He's clearly offside. "The assistant should know he's in an offside position. Whether he knows he's in an offside position is a different matter. "As an official, you have your headsets. You pool your resources. Say to the referee: 'he's in an offside position.' The referee can see where he is. He can say 'he's in front of the goalkeeper.' "That takes five seconds. Flag goes up, whistle goes, free-kick taken." BOTHROYD SAYS: "I looked at that in full speed and straight away, I could see that was offside. It's easy to see. "I don't know why that takes five and a half minutes. I don't know what they're looking at. I can't wrap my head around it. "The linesman is the funny thing for me because what is he really looking at? It looks like he has laser focus down the line but he's missed something so obvious. "Does he not want to take responsibility to make his own decision? What're you waiting for? "Referees are relying on VAR. It seems like they don't want to be wrong and don't want to be called out, just in case they do make a bad decision." Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland INCIDENT: Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai appeared to push Sunderland defender Dan Ballard in the back in the area but nothing was given. DERMOT SAYS: "What happens is Ballard is not going to get the ball. He feels a touch on his back and just goes down. It also proves that it is a full-contact game and making contact with a player isn't necessarily a foul." JAY BOTHROYD: "He realises he is ahead of Szoboszlai. When he's ahead of him, he tries to back in to initiate contact. "It's not a case of Ballard was standing and Szoboszlai pushes him. They are both moving into that area. Ballard realises he's in front. He stops and plants his legs and Szoboszlai goes into the back of him." Brighton 3-4 Aston Villa INCIDENT: In the lead-up to Brighton's first goal, they were awarded a corner but replays show it shouldn't have been given. Matty Cash headed the ball, but it appeared to make contact with the Brighton player before going out of play. Brighton then scored from the corner through Jan Paul van Hecke. There was then a VAR check for handball for the goal itself, but not for the corner and the goal stood. DERMOT SAYS: "It's interesting because I don't see it as judge and jury. I see it as a mindset. "When I was a referee, one of the things you do is take a little bit of time. You'll be amazed, if you wait one second, how the landscape changes and you can gather a little bit more information to make a decision. "The clue there was the Brighton player. He gives himself up. These are all the clues you are looking for." Should VAR rules change to decide on corners? BOTHROYD SAYS: "You can't change rules during the season. I genuinely think big rule changes can happen, but you should be able to make modifications during the season. "That's a modification that we can make. So far this season, there have been about four or five occasions where a corner has been given, they score from it, and it's not the correct decision. I think it needs to be looked it but, how far do you go? "Do you then go to throw-ins? Now, we're playing in an era where there's a long throw. If that throw goes the wrong way and someone throws it in the box and they score from it, do you look at it?" DERMOT SAYS: "You can't change the rules or protocols without an experiment. Usually if you're going to do it, you usually do so in a youth league or a league in another country. "There isn't enough time to do that before the World Cup, so now they're talking about trialling at the World Cup. "It comes out of massive fear. Imagine two teams are playing in the World Cup final, five minutes to go. That incident happens, a goal is scored and a team win or lose the World Cup on that. It will never be forgotten or forgiven."

Anatolii, 59, said: "If someone took a piece of his territory, what would he say to that? The same goes for us." Like many Ukrainians, the serviceman volunteered to join a territorial defence unit when Russia launched its full-scale war almost four years ago. Follow live: Ukraine war latest He has been fighting ever since, but will have the option to quit next year once he turns 60. Unable to wear body armour anymore because of its weight, Anatolii now operates further back from the frontline in a small workshop on the outskirts of the city of Kramatorsk, where he helps to fix and improve the performance of drones - a crucial weapon on the battlefield. "I want this war to finally end," he said. "I want to go home, to my family, to my land." But not at any price. He and other soldiers in 107 Brigade of Ukraine's Territorial Defence Force view Mr Trump's efforts to negotiate a peace agreement with suspicion. An initial proposal envisaged the Ukrainian government giving up Donetsk and Luhansk, the two regions that make up the Donbas, to Russia. This includes large swathes of land that are still under Ukraine's control, and that thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives fighting to defend. "I feel negative about it," Anatolii said, referring to the proposal. "So many people already fell for this land ... How can we give away our land? It would be like someone comes to my house and says: 'Give me a piece of your home.'" However, he added: "I understand, we have nothing to take it back with. Maybe through some political means... "I do not want more people to fall, more people to die. I want politicians to somehow come to terms." Ukraine and US negotiators will meet in Miami on Thursday to discuss peace efforts, after American and Russian teams met in Moscow earlier this week. A short drive away from the workshop is a hidden bomb factory where other soldiers from the same unit are focused on a different kind of war effort. Surrounded by 3D printed gadgets, metal ball bearings and plastic explosives, they make improvised bombs, including anti-personnel mines and devices that can be fitted onto one-way attack drones and exploded onto targets. Vadym, 41, is in charge of the production line. He has been fighting since Russian President Vladimir Putin first attacked eastern Ukraine in 2014. Asked whether he felt tired, he said: "We are always tired, we have no motivation as such, but there is the understanding that the enemy will keep coming as long as we do not stop him. If we stop fighting, our children and grandchildren will fight. That keeps us going." Vadym is also against simply handing over Ukrainian land to Russia. "If we now give away borders, give away Donbas, then what?" he said. "Any country can come to any other country and say: This is our land. Let's coordinate, do business, and keep living as before. That is not normal in my view." The city of Kramatorsk stands testament to Ukraine's will to fight, remaining firmly in Ukrainian hands, though Russia's war is inching closer. Nets stretched like a tunnel line a main road leading into the city to protect vehicles from the threat of small, killer drones. Coils of barbed wire are also strung across fields around the outskirts of Kramatorsk along with other fortifications such as mounds of dirt and triangular lumps of concrete. Many civilians have remained here as well as the nearby city of Slovyansk, even as other landmark sites such as Mariupol, Bakhmut and Avdiivka have fallen. Yet the toll of living in a warzone is clear. Stallholders swept away rubble and broken glass on Sunday after a Russian missile smashed into a central market in Kramatorsk on Saturday night. Some, like Ella, 60, even chose to reopen despite the carnage. "It's frightening. We need to earn a living. I have my mother, I need to look after her, help my children. So we do what we have to do," she said. Her adult children live in Kyiv and want her to leave, but Kramatorsk is her home. "We've been living like this for four years now. We're so used to it. A drone flies overhead and we keep working," she said. Asked how she felt about what the war had done to her city, Ella's voice wobbled and she wiped tears from her eyes. "We keep it all inside, but it still hurts. It's frightening and painful. I just want things as they used to be. We don't want anything here to change," she said. As for what she would do if a future peace deal forced Ukraine to surrender the area, Ella said: "That's a hard question ... I wouldn't stay. I'd leave."

Salvador Plasencia, who operated an urgent-care clinic outside Los Angeles, is the first of five people to be sentenced in connection with the death of the Friends actor. Perry was found drowned in the hot tub at his home after taking ketamine in October 2023. "You and others helped Mr Perry on the road to such an ending by continuing to feed his ketamine addiction," Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett told Plasencia as she handed down the sentence. "You exploited Mr Perry's addiction for your own profit." During the hearing, Plasencia broke into tears as he spoke about the day he would have to tell his now two-year-old son "about the time I didn't protect another mother's son". Apologising directly to Perry's family, he said: "I should have protected him." The doctor's mother cried loudly in the courtroom as he was led out in handcuffs. Ahead of the sentencing, Perry's mother Suzanne Perry and stepfather Keith Morrison described those involved in supplying ketamine to the star illegally as "jackals", and said they believed Plasencia to be "among the most culpable of all". The actor had been taking ketamine legally as a treatment for depression, but started seeking more of the drug and taking it unsupervised in the weeks before his death, acquiring it illegally from different sources. Plasencia, 44, did not supply the dose that killed the actor, but had been distributing the surgical anesthetic to him in the weeks beforehand. He initially denied the charges against him but changed his plea earlier this year, admitting four counts of distribution. He could have faced up to 40 years in prison had he been convicted at trial. Doctor 'fed on vulnerability' Court documents showed details of a text message Plasencia sent to another doctor, who is also due to be sentenced, saying: "I wonder how much this moron will pay." "Rather than do what was best for Mr Perry - someone who had struggled with addiction for most of his life - [Plasencia] sought to exploit Perry's medical vulnerability for profit," the prosecution said in its sentencing memo. Known as "Dr P", Plasencia was introduced to Perry by one of his own patients on 30 September 2023, prosecutors said. This patient said the actor was a "high profile person" who was willing to pay "cash and lots of thousands" for ketamine treatment, and the doctor was "motivated by the promise of a payday". Plasencia's lawyers admitted his behaviour was "reckless" and said it was "the biggest mistake" of his life. "Remorse cannot begin to capture the pain, regret and shame that Mr Plasencia feels for the tragedy that unfolded and that he failed to prevent," they said. Star's family share emotional statements During the hearing, Perry's mother Suzanne addressed the court to talk about everything he had overcome in his life. "I used to think he couldn't die," she said, supported by her husband. "You called him a 'moron'," she said to Plasencia. "There is nothing moronic about that man." In victim impact statements submitted to court, she and her husband said Plasencia's actions were not the result of "one very bad decision" or done "in the heat of passion", and nor was he a "bad to the bone" drug dealer. They added: "No one alive and in touch with the world at all could have been unaware of Matthew's struggles. But this doctor conspired to break his most important vows, repeatedly, sneaked through the night to meet his victim in secret. For what, a few thousand dollars? So he could feed on the vulnerability of our son." "The world mourns my brother," Perry's half-sister Madeleine Morrison said. "He was everyone's favourite friend." Perry's father John and stepmother Debbie had called for a lengthy sentence, and said Plasencia's actions had "devastated" their family. "How long did you possibly see supplying Matthew countless doses without his death to eventually follow?" they asked. "Did you care? Did you think?" Read more:The drug network exposed by Perry's deathObituary: The one who made everyone laughMatthew Perry: A life in pictures As well as the prison sentence, Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett handed down two years of probation to Plasencia. The other four people charged in connection with Perry's death have also accepted plea deals and are due to be sentenced over the next few months. They are: dealer Jasveen Sangha, also known as "the Ketamine Queen", Perry's assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, another doctor, Mark Chavez, and Erik Fleming, an associate of the actor. Perry had struggled with addiction for years, dating back to his time on Friends, when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation playing Chandler Bing. He starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer for 10 seasons, from 1994 to 2004, and appeared in the reunion show in 2021.

The donation - one of the largest in British political history - was made in August this year, according to filings from the Electoral Commission. Mr Harborne, a British businessman based in Thailand, previously donated millions to Reform in 2019, when it was known as the Brexit Party, and has continued to give the party and Mr Farage cash. Politics latest: Reform gets it largest ever donation Between 2001 and 2022, he donated close to £2m to the Conservatives, according to Companies House. The £9m handed to Reform UK on 1 August this year is the largest political donation on record from a living person, after Lord Sainsbury left £10m to the Conservatives in his will in 2023. Educated in the UK, Mr Harbone is now based in Thailand, where he chairs the investment company Sherriff Global Group. He also paid around £28,000 for Mr Farage to travel to the US for Donald Trump's inauguration this year, and roughly £33,000 for the Reform leader to visit the president after the failed assassination attempt in the run-up to the election. According to the Electoral Commission, political parties raised £24m in the third quarter of this year - up from £10m over the same time period last year, and £11m last quarter. With the local and national assembly elections coming up in May next year, parties are building their war chests for the campaign. Reform reported taking a total of £10,526,846, more than the Tories (£7,038,861), Labour (£2,564,786), and the Lib Dems (£2,174,712). This means Mr Farage's party raised almost as much as the three main parties combined (£11,778,359). While the Green Party has reported an increase in donations since Zack Polanski became leader, these figures mostly cover the time before he took office, with the party only accepting £371,753. Read more:Tice denies Tory-Reform pact talksNew rules may stop unlimited donations to Reform UK The fact Reform have received large volumes of cash from a former Tory donor will do nothing to extinguish reports that the two parties are considering an electoral pact in time for the next general election.

England were the top-seeded side into Pool F as the third-highest ranked team in the tournament, while Andy Farrell's Ireland were drawn with Scotland for the third successive World Cup, with Uruguay and Portugal completing Pool D. The other headline group is Pool A which sees Australia up against New Zealand, Chile and Hong Kong.

England were in Band 1 alongside South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland, France and Argentina. Australia were in Band 2 with Fiji, Scotland, Italy, Wales and Japan. Band 3 was Georgia, Uruguay, Spain, United States, Chile and Tonga, with Band 4 made up of Samoa, Portugal, Romania, Hong Kong, Zimbabwe and Canada. What is the World Cup format? The simple part of the format is that the top two teams from each pool will progress into the final 16. They will be joined by the four best third-place nations. Then, the top team in Pools A, B, C and D will play a team that finished third.The winners of Pools E and F take on the runners-up from Pools D and B.The runners-up from Pools A and C will face the runners-up from Pools E and F. The tournament takes place in Australia from October 1 to November 13 2027. 'Favourable draw for England' Sky Sports' Michael Cantillon: "All in all, England's draw is a very positive one. "Drawing Wales in their pool may be a headline but they avoided the likes of hosts Australia and Scotland from the same band. "England also landed in one of the most desired pools in E or F - reason being, the pool winners of those two pools avoid other pool winners until the semi-finals. Every other pool winner could face another in the quarters. France were the other fortunate side in this respect. "More good news would fall England's way were they to top their pool as South Africa, New Zealand and France would be on the opposite side of the draw until the final should those three win their pools. "One note of warning: while England's quarter-final is scheduled to be against a pool runner-up, this would be from Pool A, so is likely to be hosts Australia. Borthwick's side are a stronger outfit than the Wallabies, but home advantage could be huge." Townsend: Scotland must beat Ireland before World Cup meeting Gregor Townsend has challenged Scotland to banish their Ireland hoodoo before their showdown at the 2027 World Cup. Scotland have lost their last 11 meetings with the Irish, with their last win coming in the 2017 Six Nations, a few months before Townsend took charge. The winners of Pool D - which also includes the minnows of Uruguay and Portugal - are likely to avoid a formidable round-of-16 clash with France, so the Scotland head coach is aware of the importance of ensuring his team get to a level whereby they feel equipped to get the better of Ireland when they meet Down Under. "It's an easier road to the quarter-finals and semi-finals if you can win your pool," said Townsend, reflecting on the draw at a press conference in Edinburgh. "We'll respect all the three teams that we'll have to face, but obviously Ireland are a team that has beaten us pretty regularly the last few years, so we'll have to be better to beat them. "We have two occasions, one in Dublin, one at Murrayfield before the World Cup. The goal every year is to try and beat Ireland - and the other teams in the Six Nations - but it's even more important now. "It would help massively if we got on the right side of the results for a change. We know how tough it'll be. "Dublin in the last game of the (Six Nations) Championship will be a very difficult game, but we played really well last time we were out there (in 2024) and we'll be doing all we can to win that game. "It'll be more difficult in the World Cup if we haven't managed to beat Ireland in the next two seasons." Ireland coach Andy Farrell claimed the draw made him excited for the tournament. He told a press conference: "You could have put the bet on it being Scotland couldn't you? It's a great fixture, they know each other well. "I was super-excited actually, got the old hairs on the skin standing up - that's the way it should be." "I back myself and the rest of the coaches and the players to go as far as we'd all hope. We have the ambition to win a World Cup, otherwise what's the point?"
