A 30-year-old man from Norfolk, who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, has been released on bail after being declared not fit for interview. Police said the three-year-old boy from Cambridgeshire remains in Addenbrooke's Hospital in a critical but stable condition, following the incident at Johnson's of Old Hurst on Thursday. Officers were called to the zoo at 1.24pm by the ambulance service to reports that a boy had suffered serious injuries. The boy was pulled out by staff from the zoo and received medical treatment at the scene. On Friday, Cambridgeshire Police said the man, who is not known to the toddler, had been "assessed as not being fit for interview". Detective Inspector Verity McCann, from Cambridgeshire Police, said: "Our enquiries are ongoing as we continue to understand the circumstances surrounding this distressing incident. "Our thoughts remain with the boy and his family, and specialist officers continue to support them through this difficult time." The man has been bailed until 18 September. Police said on Thursday the boy had sustained serious wounds during the "distressing" incident. The zoo at Johnson's is home to more than 100 animals, including crocodiles, Bengal tigers, African lions, capybaras, meerkats and sloth bears, its website said.

In a statement released after the incident on Thursday, the zoo said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the boy and his family following the incident that occurred today. "Out of respect to the family, our Tropical House will remain closed until further notice." Johnson's of Old Hurst is a family-run farming business that now features a butchers, a farm shop, tea room, steakhouse and zoo. The crocodiles were initially kept to help dispose of waste meat from the butchery, but they went on to be the start of a zoo, according to a blog post from the zoo.

Chase, a former child star also known for her role as the villain in the 2002 US remake of the Japanese horror film The Ring, reportedly died on Tuesday from complications of bacterial meningitis and a blood infection. Her father, John David Schwallier, told The New York Times that Chase had been homeless in Los Angeles with her boyfriend near the hospital where she died. Mr Schwallier also told the outlet that his daughter had struggled with drugs since she was 13 years old, and that she had been estranged from her parents, who are divorced. He added that he had been in touch with Chase's boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, and arrived at the hospital where she was being treated just before she died. Chase is perhaps best known for her role as Lilo in the 2002 animated film, voicing the eponymous orphaned Hawaiian girl who adopts a genetically engineered extra-terrestrial, whom she names Stitch. She voiced the same character in the subsequent spin-off TV series, which first aired in 2003. For her role as Samara Morgan in The Ring, starring alongside Oscar-nominated actress Naomi Watts, Chase won an MTV movie award for best villain. She landed another prominent voice lead in the English dub of the 2001 Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away, and also appeared in the 2001 movie Donnie Darko and the 2003 show Oliver Beene.

According to IMDb, she began singing and dancing at the age of three and starred in her first commercial - for Campbell's Soup - aged seven. An online fundraiser set up by her boyfriend has raised close to $4,000 as of Thursday. A post on the site read: "Many people know her as a talented childhood actor from 'Lilo & Stitch,' 'Spirited Away,' and 'Donnie Darko'. "But behind the scenes, she's faced more than her share of hardship."

A seat whose wards swung hard to Reform last month in local elections has now swung back just as hard to Labour. With Labour trailing Reform by double digits in national polls, the now former Greater Manchester Mayor achieved a bigger win over Reform, on a higher turnout, than his predecessor Josh Simons managed in 2024. Labour won 54.8%, up 9.6% on 2024; Reform won 34.5%, up 2.7%, meaning a 3.4 point swing from Reform to Labour. Burnham returns to Westminster with a majority of 9,231 (20.3%). This was, of course, no normal by-election. Burnham is widely believed to have prime ministerial ambitions; his main opponents in the seat, Reform UK, sought to slay a local political giant. Makerfield's voters responded strongly to these extraordinary circumstances by turning out in exceptional numbers. Turnout in the seat was 58.7%, up on 52.5% in the 2024 general election, the first time since the SDP's gain of Greenwich in 1987 that a by-election has seen higher turnout than the preceding general election. The 6.2% rise in turnout on the general election is the third highest in post-war electoral history - only Torrington (11.4%, 1958) and Montgomeryshire (8.4%, 1962) were bigger. Burnham's win involved a second rare achievement - he achieved a by-election swing to the governing party. The last time a governing party gained ground in a by-election was in Hartlepool in 2021 at the peak of Boris Johnson's "vaccine bounce", while the last time Labour saw a vote increase while in government was in Beckenham in 1997, at the height of Tony Blair's post-landslide electoral honeymoon. Although they were narrowly defeated, this was on many metrics a strong performance for Reform. The 15,696 votes the party won in Makerfield is the party's best ever vote total, surpassing the 12,645 votes the party won when taking Runcorn and Helsby from Labour last May by a margin of six votes. Reform's 34.5% vote share this time is second only to the 38.7% won in Runcorn and Helsby. One reason Reform fell short despite a record vote total was the exceptional squeeze on support for the three other national parties in England's current five party system. The Greens (0.7%), the Liberal Democrats (0.4%) and the Conservatives (2.2%) all lost their deposits, and all saw their vote shares fall sharply on the 2024 general election. The Liberal Democrats' 0.4% of the vote is the lowest vote share for a major party in any by-election, surpassing the party's 0.9% in Rochester and Strood. The Conservatives' 2.2% was their second-lowest ever by-election vote share, beaten only by the February Gorton and Denton contest. This by-election was the first contested by the Restore Britain party, founded by former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe earlier this year. Restore candidate Rebecca Shepherd won 6.8%, an impressive showing for a first by-election contest by a new party. The past electoral strength of the far-right British National Party, which won 7.4% in Makerfield in 2010, may help explain why there was a substantial constituency here for Restore, whose signature policy is the mass deportation of immigrants. Reform will no doubt grumble about Restore as spoilers, but even winning every single Restore vote would have left Reform well short here. This by-election forms part of an emerging trend of anti-Reform tactical voting in by-elections. In the Senedd by-election in Caerphilly, the anti-Reform vote coalesced behind Plaid Cymru, in Gorton and Denton they backed the Greens, and here they rallied behind Burnham's Labour. Labour and Reform will clash at the polls again soon, as Burnham's win this week now triggers another Manchester by-election, this time to pick Burnham's replacement as Greater Manchester mayor, which must by law take place by 6 August. This contest will be, in electorate terms, by far the largest by-election Britain has ever seen, and will either form the backdrop for an ongoing leadership struggle at the top of the Labour Party or provide a big early test for any new leader.

The 33-year-old will officially join on a two-year contract on July 1 when her contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. Earps is returning to the WSL two years after leaving Manchester United. Across her five seasons at United, she made 102 appearances and kept 45 clean sheets. Transfer Centre LIVE! | WSL latest news and transfersGot Sky? Watch WSL games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 She retired from a glittering international career last summer in a shock announcement just five weeks out from the Euros after losing her place as starting goalkeeper to Hannah Hampton. Earps played a crucial role in England's Euro 2022 success and in their route to the World Cup final a year later. "I'm over the moon to join this club and I'm really looking forward to it," Earps said. "I feel the club aligns with what I stand for. I can't wait to get started and to get down to business." London City appear determined to make a number of statement signings this summer, and have a strong interest in Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas. Earps: I have so much more to give - that's why I chose London City Speaking in a statement confirming her arrival, Earps explained her reasoning behind joining London City, who were promoted to the WSL for the first time last season and finished sixth. Earps continued: "The club's values represent what I want to represent and they are passionate about what I want to achieve and change the game in a positive way. All the conversations have been really positive and every time I spoke with the club I wanted to hear more. "The vision and ambition, including the new training facility, is incredible and I'm looking forward to seeing that develop. It shows what our owner, Michele (Kang), and everyone at the club want to do in terms of really going for it. "It's about putting a marker down and saying we want to be competitive in a short space of time. "I'm looking forward to working alongside Elene (Lete) and the goalkeeping unit. Elene made some great saves and interventions last season. Hopefully, we can bounce off each other and work hard and enjoy it. "My message to the fans is that I'm really excited to get started and make some memories together. I can't wait to play in front of you all. "I'm looking forward to getting to know the players, the style of play and club culture, and trying to give everything I can to help the club achieve its collective goals and be as successful as possible. "I feel I still have so much left to give to the game, and that's exactly why I chose London City. "It won't be easy, the WSL is extremely competitive. The team had a brilliant 2025/26 season, finishing mid-table in their first season, now it's about climbing the table and working towards finishing as high as possible." Big names continue to mount for London City... Sky Sports' Laura Hunter: Another coup for London City. The big-name signings continue to mount - and likely won't stop at Mary Earps either. Ambition even extends as far as trying to land former Barcelona captain Alexia Putellas on a free this summer. That really would be the GOAT of signings. It's a star-studded cast for a team that has only been in the English top-flight for one season, propped up by the riches of free-spending owner Michele Kang. One might question how all these superstars are going to gel under one roof. There is plenty of modern-day examples of that formula flopping, albeit most obviously in the men's game. I'm thinking Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at PSG - the vibe was completely off. Nonetheless, there is no doubt Earps is a huge signing for London City and one that significantly improves them. Eder Maestre's side shipped 35 goals last season, above the league's average (32). They have got to address that if the plan is to try to break up the division's traditional top four.

Convicted killers Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 57, and David Taylor, 64, stabbed Kyle Bevan to death at high-security HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire last November before "tucking him up in bed" and leaving him to bleed out. Bevan, 33, was serving a life sentence with a minimum tariff of 28 years for murdering his partner's two-year-old daughter, Lola James, in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 2020. Fellows and Newell were already serving whole life orders when they killed Bevan, meaning they will never be released. Judge Maura McGowan imposed "new and separate" whole life orders on both of them for Bevan's murder. Taylor was given a whole life order for Bevan's death, on top of the offences he was on remand for at the time A jury found the trio guilty of murdering Bevan in November. CCTV shows the three defendants following Bevan into his cell on 4 November and emerging less than five minutes later in "a satisfied, job-done mood", prosecutors said. Taylor was on remand for the murder of Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin - a 24-year-old woman he was in a relationship with but had grown tired of - and attempting to murder a police officer in an interview room at another high-security jail. Justice McGowan jailed Taylor for life with a minimum term of 20 years for Ms Apostoloff-Boyarin's murder. She also handed him a 30-year sentence for the attempted murder of the officer and imposed a whole life order for the death of Bevan, as it was a second offence of murder. Taylor, who had recently been transferred to Wakefield, had boasted about his ability to make makeshift weapons "out of all sorts". Some had been found a bottle of chilli sauce in his cell after Bevan's death. Newell was given a whole life order in 2013 after he strangled a prisoner who murdered a child and left him in his bed, in an incident with a "chilling similarity" to Bevan's death. He was first jailed in 1989 for strangling his female neighbour when she refused to give him money. Fellows, a hitman known as "the Wakefield Dexter", had committed two gangland murders and was given a whole life term in 2019. He had applied to be transferred out of Wakefield before Bevan's killing because of his dissatisfaction with the prison. Fellows was the only one of the trio to attend court in person on Friday, with Newell and Taylor joining by video-link from prison. When Taylor appeared by video-link from Full Sutton prison, near York, for earlier hearings, he was escorted by officers in full riot gear. They had to remove two sets of handcuffs from him before he was allowed to sit. The judge heard there were concerns from prison authorities that Taylor had somehow managed to secrete a weapon in his body. 'Not known who did what' On this day of his death, Bevan was seen on CCTV walking into his cell followed by the three defendants. The trio left the cell less than five minutes later "as if nothing had happened". They could be seen shaking hands and appearing to congratulate each other.

Newell had an injury to his hand while Fellows could be seen rolling up his tracksuit bottoms after realising they had blood on them. Jurors heard one weapon, made from a folded piece of metal from the back of a television, was found on the ground outside Bevan's cell with his blood on it. However, the weapon that caused the fatal injury was never found. The court heard it was not known "who did what" inside the cell, but Bevan likely had his arms held while he was stabbed 25 times. As Taylor was being transferred out of Wakefield, the court was told he shouted in the vicinity of Newell: "Nice working with you and the Iceman" - a nickname for Fellows.

Director-general Matt Brittin, who took up the role in May, told employees on Wednesday that £160m of staff and non-staff cost savings would be made from across BBC News and TV and radio teams by the end of the financial year. More savings across all areas will be set out in the coming months, with 700 corporate roles also expected to go and senior leader roles to be reduced by at least 10%, he added. In a follow-up message from Jonathan Munro, the interim chief executive of BBC News and Current Affairs, staff were told details of cuts and changes to specific shows, and that a review of chief presenter roles would also be carried out. These cuts are the first to be announced as part of a huge savings plan announced in April, with up to 2,000 jobs to go in total - the corporation's biggest downsizing in almost 15 years. In his memo, Mr Munro told staff: "Our news presenters have a unique relationship with our audiences. However, given the savings we need to make across the whole of BBC News, we are carrying out a review of our chief presenter roles. "This is designed to ensure we have the right number of presenters, deployed as flexibly and efficiently as possible, to balance audience needs with best value for money." On-air editor roles are also being reviewed and a proposal has been made to close dedicated social presenter roles. In one positive for Newsnight, Mr Munro said it would move to a peak-time slot on Fridays, "building on the success of its refreshed format". 'A doubly difficult time for everyone' The scale of savings needed "requires tough choices" and all divisions "will be making significant savings", Mr Brittin said in his internal note to staff. Overall, the plan is to cut commissioning spend across the Content, News and Nations departments by about £80 million in the year 2027-28. Broadcast TV channels and the radio network portfolio would be reviewed "as audiences move online", Mr Brittin said, and steps will also be taken to "reduce duplication, clarify accountability, and increase the speed of decision making". "We live in very uncertain times," the BBC boss added. "Our audiences rely on us every day to keep them informed, entertained and equipped to make sense of the world. Making savings while fulfilling our mission means a doubly difficult time for everyone." 'Death by a thousand cuts' Philippa Childs, head of media and entertainment union Bectu, responded to the announcement by saying the cuts were "far from ideal" taking place at the same time as the BBC's charter renewal - and that they would affect the broadcaster's ability to deliver its public service mission. "In an era of fake news and an industry that is becoming more concentrated in the hands of a few multinational corporations, the UK needs a confident, ambitious and sustainably-funded BBC more than ever," she said. "The charter renewal must put the BBC's funding on a secure, long-term pathway or it risks death by a thousand cuts." Read more from Sky News:World Cup data tracker: Who will win?Jeremy Clarkson reveals cancer diagnosis The union is in talks with the BBC "to mitigate the impact as much as possible", she added. Cathy Sweet, head of TV and film at entertainment and performing arts trade union Equity, described the cuts as "devastating" and said they risked the BBC becoming "unable to live up to its aim to inform, educate and entertain". Mr Brittin, a former Google executive, replaced Tim Davie as director-general in last month. Mr Davie announced his resignation from the corporation in November last year, amid controversy and a $10bn (about $7.5bn) lawsuit over the editing of a BBC documentary about Donald Trump.

One went to script, the other did not. The SNP held Stephen Gethins' former seat of Arbroath and Broughty Ferry, in the Dundee heartland of Scottish nationalism, but it lost in Aberdeen South, where Stephen Flynn's departure has delivered the first Conservative by-election gain in Scotland for nearly 60 years. The Conservatives won 49.5% of the vote, up 25.1%, a vote gain bigger than the party achieved in its 2021 Hartlepool by-election win, and the biggest achieved by the party at any by-election since 1945. Indeed, it was the best vote share for the Conservatives in this seat since 1964. On any other night, such a stunning gain by a party lately confined to the margins of Scottish politics would lead the headlines. Yet, while it was overshadowed on the night by Andy Burnham's return in Makerfield, this result, plus gains from Reform in local council by-elections, might hint at a turning of the tide for the Tories after a long post-general election slump. In some respects, this was a return to form for Aberdeen South, a seat which features some of the wealthiest suburbs in Scotland, and which was Conservative for nearly 70 years, with one brief interruption, from 1918 to 1987. The Tories have held it more recently, too, winning it in 2017 as part of the Scottish blue wave that year. The SNP's long-running embezzlement scandal, and the travails of the oil industry, which formed the focus of the Conservative campaign, may both have contributed to this stunning win, the first Conservative gain at a by-election in Scotland since Glasgow Pollok in 1967. The slump in Scottish Labour likely played a role here, too. The Scottish Conservatives won the seat from third place, after Labour surged to overtake them in the 2024 general election. That surge was fully reversed here, as Labour suffered their eighth-largest decline in vote share across all Scottish by-elections. Unhappiness with the national Labour government doubtless played a role, but perhaps also tactical voting by unionists who could use the Conservatives as a vehicle for registering discontent with the Holyrood and Westminster governments. The SNP's comfortable hold in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry also featured warning signs for both incumbent governments. The turnout was just 31.9%, the lowest in a Scottish contest in post-war by-election history. Read more from Sky News:Tories and SNP win Scottish by-electionsAnalysis: Why Burnham's win is so significant Unhappy nationalist voters may not have marked ballots against the SNP, but instead opted not to cast a ballot at all. Scottish Labour also slumped in this seat, suffering their 10th largest drop in Scottish by-elections here. Reform's vote shares in both seats set new records for Scottish by-elections, but the party has not contested many. The party won 8.6% in Aberdeen South, coming a distant third, and in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry managed 18.2%, nearly beating the Conservatives for second place. The Arbroath result is Reform's fourth-highest vote share in all by-elections, while Aberdeen South is the ninth best.

Only six of the morning wave were able to break par in gusty conditions at Shinnecock Hills, where fog forced an early two-hour suspension in play, but Clark took advantage of the calmer afternoon weather to charge to the top of the leaderboard. The 2023 champion reached the turn in 32 before cancelling out a bogey at the par-three second with back-to-back birdies on his next two holes. He then produced a stunning approach into the par-five fifth to set up a close-range eagle. US Open R1 recap: Opening round as it happenedRory McIlroy makes expensive finish to opening roundLatest US Open leaderboard and other golf scoresGet Sky Sports or stream golf with no contract Clark was six under for his round with two holes remaining when play was suspended due to darkness at 8.25pm local time (1.25am UK time), with the American having the chance to create major history when play resumes at 6.35am (11.35am BST) on Friday. He needs to birdie one of his remaining two holes to post an opening-round 63 and equal the course record, while a birdie-birdie finish would see him match the lowest round in men's major history. "Birdieing the first two was really nice," Clark said. "Then I had a little bit of a lull, but made some great par saves. It was great birdieing 18. Then a little mishap, missed a shorty on one and then a bogey on two, but then got into a nice rhythm. Everything was clicking." Sam Stevens was the pick of the morning starters as he set the clubhouse target with a two-under 68, only for compatriot Max McGreevy and amateur Ryder Cowan to match it later in the day, with four former US Open champions also sitting on two under with holes to complete. Matt Fitzpatrick has two holes to play, and both Dustin Johnson and Gary Woodland have three remaining, while two-time major winner Jon Rahm completes the group and is tied-second with five holes to complete. McIlroy impresses as Scheffler makes slow start Masters champion McIlroy temporarily held a two-shot lead earlier in the day when an eagle at the fifth lifted him to three under, only for the world No 2 - chasing a second major win of the season - to make a bogey-bogey finish to his opening-round 69. "With the conditions today, anything under par or anything around even par is a good score," McIlroy said. "It was a day to really keep yourself in the tournament and not shoot yourself out of it, which is exactly what I did eight years ago here [opening-round 80]. "Went out with the mindset that pars were going to be good and if you could pick up a couple of birdies here and there, that's always a bonus. Really just minimising the mistakes and I did that for the most part today." McIlroy's playing partner Ludvig Åberg also finished on one under, with Tommy Fleetwood a further stroke back, while world No 1 Scheffler was four strokes back after opening with a two-over 72. Scheffler was joined on two over by Players champion Cameron Young, while Brooks Koepka - the champion the last time the US Open was held at Shinnecock Hills in 2017 - posted a three-over 73 and defending champion JJ Spaun struggled to an opening 77. "It was a really challenging day," Scheffler said. "If you told me when I was staring at my par putt on the ninth that I would post two over today, I would definitely have taken it at the time. Overall, it was a good battle." Those in the afternoon wave got the best of the conditions and will be the early starters on Friday, where tee times have been pushed back to 15 minutes later than originally scheduled.
