A 38-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated criminal damage. In an update, the Metropolitan Police said he has been further arrested on suspicion of supporting Palestine Action, which is a proscribed organisation, under the Terrorism Act and remains in custody. A No 10 spokesman said of the vandalism: "It's obviously a disgrace. It's completely abhorrent. "Churchill was a great Briton. This Government will always stand up for our values and the perpetrator must be held to account. "We're glad the police have made an arrest." Officers from the Met Police were alerted to the vandalism shortly after 4am on Friday. The statue has been cordoned off and was being cleaned this morning. A Greater London Authority spokesperson said: "We are appalled by this vandalism to the statue of Sir Winston Churchill and work is under way to remove the graffiti as quickly as possible." Commenting on an image of the monument, which was shared on X, Dave Rich, director of policy for Community Security Trust, posted: "Free Palestine" and a Hamas red triangle, if you zoom in close enough. This extremism is never just a threat to Jews."

It said on X: "In targeting the statue of a British hero who led this country in the fight against the Nazis, the perpetrator has found a perverse way to combine a hatred of Jews with a disdain for Britain." Phil Rosenberg, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, wrote: "One of the greatest champions for liberty, who defeated the Nazis, defaced. "Zionism, the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, inverted. "Santayana's 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it', never truer." The 12ft-tall statue on the north-east corner of the square, created by Ivor Roberts-Jones, was unveiled in 1973 by the former prime minister's wife, Lady Clementine Churchill. It is one of 12 statues on or around Parliament Square, most of well-known statesmen such as Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincoln. The former prime minister's statue has been vandalised several times over the years, including during demonstrations. Last December, both the Metropolitan Police and Greater Manchester Police announced anyone chanting "globalise the intifada" would face arrest. The decision by the two police forces came in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack, and the terror attack at Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester on 2 October.

The World's largest streaming service had been in pole position to land a deal by which it would pay $27.75 per share for Warner's studio and HBO Max streaming businesses, valuing the divisions at almost $83bn (£61.6bn) including debt. Netflix had been invited to raise its bid after Paramount submitted a final offer, for the whole WBD business, of $31 per share earlier this week that ultimately concluded a ping-pong process of sweetened bids. That final offer valued WBD at $111bn (£82.4bn) including debt. Money latest: UK's 'best' and 'worst' airlines revealed Warner's board declared on Thursday night that while it continued to recommend the offer by Netflix, it now considered the proposal from Paramount as "superior" - its first hint of support for the bidder declared as hostile when the saga began back in December. Netflix responded by pulling out of the process just hours later, declaring that a deal was "no longer financially attractive". Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said: "We believe we would have been strong stewards of Warner Bros' iconic brands. But this transaction was always a 'nice to have' at the right price, not a 'must have' at any price." The decision to withdraw does not mean that Paramount has WBD in the bag just yet. The board is yet to give its blessing to the deal though WBD has changed its tone and voiced support for the bid for the first time. CEO David Zaslav used a statement to declare that Paramount's offer "will create tremendous value", adding that WBD was "excited about the potential of a combined Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros Discovery". Warner shareholders and regulators will also have to agree to the takeover, with the process for the latter facing competition concerns along with questions over political influence. Read more from Sky News:Ocado to cut 1,000 jobs under restructuring plan'Unacceptable' that European countries still fund Russia's war If Paramount Skydance is successful in its takeover attempt, it would own the news channel CNN as well as CBS News, sparking concern about concentrating news services within a small number of companies linked to Donald Trump's allies. Paramount's chair and chief executive David Ellison is the son of billionaire Larry Ellison, an ally of the US president who has put up tens of billions of dollars to satisfy funding guarantees for the WBD bid. A Paramount-Warner combination would encompass two of Hollywood's five legacy studios. Beyond Harry Potter, Warner movies like Superman and Barbie - as well as hit TV series like Succession - would join Paramount's content library. Paramount's line-up of titles include Top Gun and The Godfather and includes the Paramount+ streaming service. There were big movements for share prices in after-hours trading as the developments played out. Netflix saw its stock climb by 8.5% in a relief rally while those for Paramount were also up sharply - by 6.2%. WBD shares were trading almost 2% lower at $28.80 - well below the Paramount offer price of $31. Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said of the moves: "While there was clearly scope for Netflix to push higher, management chose discipline over empire building, removing a major acquisition overhang that had been weighing on the shares. "The bid always looked like a mix of offence and defence - shoring up content and scale, while keeping competition from gaining any edge, but at a very high price - and with that risk now off the table, investors are free to refocus on Netflix's core strengths: pricing power, margins and execution. "For now, at least, the market seems to be pricing this as a win for everyone", he concluded.

The former deputy Labour leader cautioned her party's MPs from seeking to replace the prime minister following the loss - and insisted it "could be worse". Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer won the by-election with 14,980 votes - a majority of 4,402 - in the early hours of Friday morning, pushing Labour into third place in an area they have not lost since 1931. By-election latest - follow live But speaking to the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Baroness Harman insisted "it would've been worse if it had been Reform" who won, and urged Labour backbenchers to hold their resolve. She told Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby: "This has been very painful and bruising, it will increase anxiety in the run-up to the council elections in England, and in elections in Scotland and Wales. "This will test the mettle of the PLP [Parliamentary Labour Party], they don't want instability. They do want delivery on the manifesto. "But the fundamentals remain absolutely the same - that piling instability into this situation by having a leadership challenge is not going to solve the problems that people want solved, which is improvement in the way their lives are, improvement in their public services and stability in government." The Labour peer also sought to play down Labour's by-election loss, by saying a Reform UK victory would have "really scared me". She explained: "I would've felt worse if Reform had won because if you feel that this country is moving towards really quite divisive, racist, xenophobic, populist right-wing policies - that would've really scared me. "It was very bruising and disappointing that Labour, having hope to win, didn't win. But I would've felt much worse if Reform had won." 👉 Click here to listen to Electoral Dysfunction on your podcast app 👈 However, Baroness Harman conceded: "It's not a good day, no doubt about it. "But, I mean, it's not... I don't want to sound pollyannaish, but it could be worse. "A lot of people will be feeling, 'no, it couldn't be worse'. But actually, as far as I'm concerned, it would've been worse if it had been Reform." Sir Keir is expected to speak to journalists later on Friday morning, where he will give his first on-camera reaction to the by-election loss. Gorton and Denton has historically been considered to be a safe seat for Labour, and it was the party's 38th safest seat in the 2024 general election. The result in the Greater Manchester constituency is Labour's seventh-worst by-election defeat in history. One Labour MP told Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates that Sir Keir should resign following the loss, while a number of Labour backbenchers have publicly called for "change at the top", either in the form of the PM's departure or a change of direction. Long-time critic of the Labour leader, Brian Leishman, Labour MP for Alloa and Grangemouth, wrote on social media: "The blame lies with Starmer & the people that surround him. "The political idea that we should try & out-Reform Reform is wrong and been rejected. "Time he did the right thing for the country & the Labour Party, and go." Andy McDonald, Labour MP for Middlesbrough and Thornaby East, said: "It is the political approach of the prime minister, his former chief of staff and of Labour Together which has cost Labour this safe seat. "The party must rip up their approach if Labour is to convince the public that the change they demand is going to be delivered." His colleague, Nadia Whittome, MP for Nottingham East, said it "is those running our party who are to blame" and that "serious lessons need to be learnt". But Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander defended the government, telling Sky News it was a "deeply disappointing" result, but adding: "I don't think we should over-interpret this result."

Were City to progress past Real Madrid, they will face either Bayern Munich or Atalanta in the quarter-finals, while Chelsea and Liverpool will meet in the last eight if they knock out PSG and Galatasaray respectively. Meanwhile, Arsenal will play either Bodo/Glimt or Sporting if they beat Leverkusen. Were they to reach the semi-finals, Arsenal's opponents will be Newcastle, Barcelona, Atletico or Tottenham. Analysis: A favourable draw for Arsenal? A trip to Germany awaits for Arsenal as they face Bayer Leverkusen for the first time since a 4-1 win in 2002. Win that tie, and it's Bodo Glimt or Sporting next. It's a favourable draw, especially given the alternative was a potential quarter-final against Manchester City. It's only two years since Leverkusen won the Bundesliga under Xabi Alonso but they are no longer the same team. Having finished second last season, they now sit sixth, with Kaspur Hjulmand at the helm after Erik ten Hag's brief spell in charge ended in September. "We are very excited to play the next round," said Mikel Arteta at his press conference on Friday. "We have earned the right to be in a strong position with what we've done in the group stage, and that's it. "Now we need to start to analyse them and find ways to be better them and try to go through the tie." Analysis: A tough run of games for City Not only will Manchester City have two tough assignments against Real Madrid coming up, but the two ties against Madrid will be in the middle of what looks a daunting run of fixtures for Pep Guardiola's side. Between March 7 and March 22, City will have to play away to Newcastle in the FA Cup, then travel to Madrid in midweek, before returning to Premier League action at West Ham. They will then face Real Madrid in midweek before taking on Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday March 22. Analysis: What lies ahead for Liverpool? Liverpool's last meeting with Galatasaray, the 1-0 loss in the league phase in September, occurred at the beginning of the dismal run of results that threw their season into disarray. Arne Slot has them in better shape ahead of their next meeting. The Reds have avoided a last 16 tie against Atletico Madrid but their route to the final, beyond the meeting with Galatasaray, for which they will be strong favourites, looks daunting, with Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich potentially standing in their way. Before that, though, it's a potentially awkward trip to Turkey, and a reminder that any side containing Victor Osimhen has to be taken seriously. Analysis: Brutal March schedule for Newcastle The Champions League draw has handed Eddie Howe's Newcastle a tough run of fixtures in March. The Magpies will play Man Utd, Man City, Barcelona, Chelsea, Barcelona again and then arch rivals Sunderland back-to-back. The games - including a FA cup tie with Man City - will form a defining period in Newcastle's season. As shown in the graphic above, Eddie Howe's side could play a maximum of 66 fixtures this season - the highest total for any Premier League club. Analysis: Chelsea facing tough route to CL final Chelsea have been placed in what appears on paper at least to be the hardest side of the Champions League draw. Were they to progress past holders PSG, Chelsea will face either Galatasaray or Liverpool in the quarter-finals. And if they reach the last four, Chelsea's opponents will be one of Real Madrid, Man City, Atalanta or Bayern Munich. Analysis: How will Spurs juggle CL? Head coach Igor Tudor said it was "not ideal" for Tottenham to be in the Champions League while also fighting a Premier League relegation battle - and Friday's draw highlights the balancing act he has. Tottenham will go away to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 tie and then play Liverpool in the Premier League before hosting the Spanish side for the second leg. But crucially, that second leg - when a Champions League quarter-final place could be on the line - comes just days before a huge relegation six-pointer at home to Nottingham Forest. How will Tudor manage the battle on two fronts, given how he flagged the physical and mental demands the Champions League will place on his already injury-hit squad? Home advantage in second legs for seeded teams The top eight teams from the league phase are seeded and will have home advantage in the second leg of their round of 16 games. This will extend to the quarter-finals for the teams that finished in the top four of the league phase - Arsenal, Bayern, Liverpool and Spurs - if they progress. For Arsenal and Bayern, the top two, they will also have home advantage in the second leg of their semi-final if successful. Any team that eliminates a seeded team will take their privileges. When will QF and SF fixtures be announced? The quarter-final match schedule will be confirmed on March 19, while the semi-final schedule will be communicated on April 16. When are the 2025/26 Champions League knockout stages? Round of 16: March 10-11 and 17-18Quarter-finals: April 7-8 and 14-15Semi-finals: April 28-29 and May 5-6Final: Saturday May 30 Where is the Champions League final? The 2025/26 Champions League final will take place in Budapest at the Puskas Arena on Saturday May 30.

He was taken to hospital after being found in a pool of blood following an alleged attack by an unknown inmate on Thursday. A Durham Constabulary spokesperson said there had been no change in the 52-year-old's condition overnight. "He remains in hospital in a serious condition," they added. Police earlier said that a man in his mid-40s was being investigated over the incident. "He has not been arrested at this stage but remains in detention within the prison," the force added. Huntley killed 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in August 2002. The latest incident is not the first time Huntley has been attacked at HMP Frankland. In 2011, an inmate who slashed Huntley's throat with a makeshift knife was jailed for life. Damien Fowkes was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years for the attempted murder of Huntley in March 2010 and the manslaughter of child killer Colin Hatch. Fowkes inflicted a wound seven inches long on Huntley's neck and the court was told it was only "good fortune" that the weapon missed anything vital. The disappearance and murders of schoolgirls Holly and Jessica captured the attention of the nation in 2002. Huntley killed them after they left a family barbecue to buy sweets, and then dumped their bodies in a ditch. He was their school caretaker and put himself forward as a volunteer to help search for them after they went missing - and was interviewed by reporters on camera. The efforts to locate the girls in the 13 days after they disappeared have been described as one of the most intense and extensive in British criminal history. Huntley was convicted of murdering both girls in December 2003 and sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment.

She was jailed for three-and-a-half years for conspiring with Huntley to pervert the course of justice.

Mr Wallace was suing the broadcaster and its subsidiary BBC Studios Distribution Limited for up to £10,000 in damages, alleging the BBC failed to disclose his personal data, which caused him "distress and harassment". The BBC was defending the claim and denied Mr Wallace had "suffered any distress or harassment", stating in court documents he was not "entitled to any damages". The former MasterChef presenter was sacked last July following an investigation into misconduct allegations. A BBC spokesperson confirmed on Friday that Mr Wallace had abandoned the claim. They said: "Shortly in advance of a hearing, due February 16, Mr Wallace discontinued his claim. "He is not receiving any payment in costs or damages from either BBC or BBC Studios." He began co-presenting MasterChef in 2005, but it was announced in November 2024 that he would step away from his role while the misconduct allegations were investigated.

Mr Wallace issued an apology, saying he was "deeply sorry for any distress caused" and that he "never set out to harm or humiliate". Mr Wallace has been approached for comment.

Hannah Spencer has become the Green Party's fifth MP in parliament, after beating Reform UK, who finished second, and Labour, who came third, to the seat. The Greens received 14,980 votes to claim a majority of more than 4,400 votes. Reform picked up 10,578 votes, while Labour received 9,364 votes. Follow live - politics latest It is the Greens' first-ever victory in a parliamentary by-election, and the first time the party has won a seat in the north of England. 'Only Labour can unite our country' Reacting to the result, the prime minister said: "It's a very disappointing result. Incumbent governments quite often get results like that mid-term. "But I do understand voters are frustrated, they're impatient for change." He added: "I will keep on fighting for those people for as long as I've got breath in my body. I will also fight against the extremes in politics on the right and on the left - parties who want to tear our country apart. "The Labour Party is the only party that can unite our country and our communities." Speaking to Sky News following her victory, Ms Spencer said she "knew it was always possible" for the Greens to win in Gorton and Denton. "There is an appetite here for change," the 34-year-old said. "There are people across this constituency and much further beyond who are rejecting the old political parties and who are coming together to fight for something better, but who are doing it positively and in a really hopeful way." Green Party leader Zack Polanski has called Ms Spencer's victory "an incredibly important win" and said "this will transform the face of British politics". Speaking to Sky News, he added: "It's important to say this was the Green Party's 127th target seat. We've won this. "It means that the Green Party vote is never a wasted vote. There's no no-go areas right across England and Wales. You can expect to see more Green Party councillors and more green MPs." He insisted the Greens are "the only party joining the dots and putting all these things together", citing the party's policies on the cost of living, the war in Gaza, and environmental policies. But he also criticised Labour for what he called "a shameful, dirty campaign - spreading lies about Green policies and even faking a tactical voting website". "They knew they couldn't win, but they risked splitting the vote and letting Reform in," he said. The turnout for the vote was 47.6% of the electorate, slightly lower than the 47.8% at the 2024 general election. Nigel Farage has reported claims of "family voting" to the police and the Electoral Commission, the election watchdog. It follows concerns raised by election observer group Democracy Volunteers. The organisation said it witnessed record numbers of illegal "family voting". Family voting is where two voters either confer, collude or direct each other on voting, which is illegal under the 2023 Ballot Secrecy Act. The Reform UK leader warned: "What was witnessed yesterday is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about the integrity of the democratic process in predominantly Muslim areas. "If action isn't taken now, then we will ensure it is after the next general election." Read more on the by-election:By-election result 'bruising' - but replacing PM 'won't solve problem'Explained: Who is Hannah Spencer?Analysis: This is a parliamentary result for the ages Greater Manchester Police has confirmed it has received a report. In a statement, a spokesperson for the force said: "We are in the process of reviewing this report and will provide a further update in due course." The Electoral Commission has also confirmed they received a letter from Mr Farage - but pointed out the organisation "does not have a direct role in investigating allegations of electoral fraud" as this is a "matter for the police". 'A tough result for our movement', says PM Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's immigration policies have been cited by some in Labour as a key reason for the party's loss of a seat it has historically held, which was also its 38th safest seat in 2024. Former deputy leader of the Labour Party, Angela Rayner, has said the result "must be a wake up call" and urged the government to "really listen - to reflect". One Labour MP told Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates that Sir Keir should resign following the loss, while a number of Labour backbenchers have publicly called for "change at the top", either in the form of the PM's departure or a different direction. Sir Keir has written to all Labour MPs on Friday morning, recognising that it is a "tough result for our movement". He said the Greens won because they were "able to capitalise on an endorsement from George Galloway to win over enough voters to push them over the line". The PM added the Green Party is "unstable" and "cannot survive a general election campaign". "They simply do not have the resources, the activist base or the local knowledge to replicate this victory across the country," he said. He also hit out at Ms Spencer, saying her constituents "now have a representative who is more interested in dividing people than uniting them". "We have to learn lessons from that, and we will," he insisted

There has been talk of potential NRL investment in Super League for a long time now, with many fans hoping and calling for the Australian league to involve themselves in the British game. The NRL are a billion-dollar business, with a salary cap three times that of Super League. That does not mean the Super League cannot compete though, with Hull KR becoming the third Super League team in a row to win the World Club Challenge - theirs coming against 2025 Premiers Brisbane Broncos.

Get Sky Sports or stream contract-free on NOWDownload Sky Sports app for expert analysis, video and moreChoose the Sky Sports push notifications you want For V'Landys, if the Australian competition are to buy into Super League, it is about making the owners' investment "better" but with that, the running of the sport should be independent and therefore, control would have to be handed over. Currently, the Super League club owners have significant control in the sport and the decision making of the governing body. Instead, they would become more akin to "shareholders" that do not "operate" the company. "What I'd say to them is, I can stop you putting money in and I can make your investment a lot better, but you're going to have to give up control because it's not working," V'Landys told Sky Sports. "At the end of the day, look at the model and tell me if it's working. Look at the NRL in comparison, which is completely independent, and it's chalk and cheese. "What I want to do to those Super League club owners is that they don't have to put their money in their pocket - I want to give them return on their investment rather than them continuing to bleed losses. "In order for them to do that, they're going to have to faith in us and faith in an independent model. That can put a time period or a sunset clause in there, but I can tell you I'm very confident that they'll be much better financially than they are now. "What they [club owners] have to understand is that if we are to invest in it, we're not investing to make money - we're probably going to lose money. "If we put the investment in, then we need to control it independently. They'll certainly be consulted but the model will never work if it's a self-interest model and some of those clubs will have to relinquish control. "It's like shareholders in a company. If you're a shareholder, you don't operate the company - you trust a board of directors to run a company, to maximise the revenues and then maximise the dividends back to you. "That's the model we want - we want to be able to run the company and maximise their returns." Why do they want to invest? So, why is it that the NRL want to bring this potential investment in? It is all about their global model. Currently, the NRL have four clubs in Las Vegas, along with Super League's Leeds Rhinos and Hull KR, and have plans to keep taking games around the world. In order for that to be successful, they need thriving leagues outside of Australia. "The NRL clubs are very supportive because they can see the need to have rugby league as a global game, and the need to have Super League being very vibrant," he added. "They can see the big picture. We've come back, we've done some modelling, we've done some analytical work to see how we can help and what we need to do. "So, we're in a better position now than we were when we met with the Super League clubs and Nigel Wood last year. We'll have more discussions in the next few weeks. "There's a few little variables which we need to get right, which I can't go into because they're commercially sensitive, but if we get those right, I think we could be in a position that Super League would be happy with. "It's a priority. Super League investment has been on the table and has continued to be on the table. We want to see a vibrant, healthy game in England and for us it's also a good investment. "Where you have the premier competition, you get other jurisdictions looking at it. If you use soccer as the best example, all Australians watch the Premier League first and foremost because it's the premier competition. "They might watch the A-League in Australia, but it's not the premier competition The NRL is the premier competition and we want the Super League fans to watch both." A 'brother and sister' relationship There is a fear from some that if the NRL were to be involved in Super League, there would be a talent drain of the country's best players being taken over to the NRL. V'Landys does not believe that Super League would become "feeder clubs" but rather "mentors" in a partnership. "I don't think they're a feeder club, that's far from what we're looking at. We're looking at it as like brother and sister and actually feeding their Super League," V'Landys said. "We're bringing some of our junior talent over here and taking some of the junior talent there - it's never going to be a one-way street. It's a two-way street, it's a partnership and, in a good partnership, you look after each other. "We want some of these clubs in Australia who are very successful to be mentors to clubs in Super League in England and vice-versa - there's a few good clubs in England that can assist us. "We don't need feeder clubs - the NRL is doing significantly well on its own. We don't need to tap into players. We would like to assist in giving some of our juniors to assist the skill level and ability." So, if the investment takes places can we expect to see NRL and State of Origin games in London? "Absolutely," he said. "That's on the plan. If we make an investment into the Super League, we'll be bringing NRL competition games to London. Absolutely." 2026 Super League - key dates and what to look out forRugby League in Las Vegas: Sat Feb 28: Hull KR vs Leeds Rhinos, 11pm (Sky Sports)Super League's 30th birthday: Thu Mar 26: Castleford Tigers vs Bradford Bulls, 8pm (Sky Sports)Rivals Round: April 3-April 5Super League in Paris: Sat Jun 6: Catalans Dragons vs Wigan Warriors (Paris), 6:30 UK (Sky Sports)Magic Weekend: July 4-July 5Rivals Round reversed: July 23-July 26Elimination Play-offs: September 19-September 20Play-off semi-finals: September 26-September 27Grand Final: October 3, Old Trafford.
