Jane Coates is preparing to travel to the US to try to persuade prosecutors to reopen the investigation into her daughter Lucy Harrison's death. Speaking more than 19 months on from Ms Harrison's death, Ms Coates said she hopes to meet the district attorney and has urged the UK government to offer its full backing for the campaign. Ms Harrison, a fashion buyer from Warrington, Cheshire, was shot through the chest by her father, Kris Harrison, at his home in Prosper, Texas, on 10 January 2025, the day before she was due to fly back to the UK. A grand jury in Collin County later decided there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges after Mr Harrison claimed the handgun discharged accidentally while he was showing it to his daughter. In February this year, a coroner in England concluded Ms Harrison had been unlawfully killed, finding that her father's actions amounted to gross negligence manslaughter under UK law. Ms Coates has now sought the assistance of Radd Seiger, who previously advised Harry Dunn's family in their campaign for justice after the 19-year-old was killed by a US citizen in a road crash in Northamptonshire. Commenting on why she has felt "alone" during her search for justice, Ms Coates, 49, said: "I think it's not being heard - just raising all of our concerns and nothing being acted upon, and feeling like we've just been deserted by the British authorities. "I think, save Sarah Hall, my MP, who has done everything in her capacity to raise and escalate Lucy's case, it's just felt like there's been doors shut at every single opportunity, and people haven't been there for us."

She said she is now planning to travel to Texas with Mr Seiger in the hope of persuading the Collin County District Attorney's Office to reconsider the case after the coroner's findings. Mr Seiger said the family wanted the case lifted beyond routine consular handling. Ms Coates said: "Although I know that it's a completely different jurisdiction, a completely different law, so it's about appealing to them in terms of our real concerns with the US investigation, with the Texas investigation, and that they do agree to reopen Lucy's case and give it new consideration." A senior coroner ruled in February that Mr Harrison's conduct had been "reckless". The inquest heard he had been drinking wine before removing a loaded Glock pistol from his bedside cabinet. The coroner concluded the gun could only have been discharged after it was pointed at Lucy, and the trigger pulled, and heard officers in Texas did not carry out an alcohol test despite smelling alcohol on his breath. Ms Coates said she was not asking the Foreign Office to interfere in the US justice system, but wanted ministers to publicly support her family. The family have requested a meeting with Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband and other senior officials. A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokeswoman said: "Our thoughts remain with Jane and her family for the tragic loss they have suffered. "We were in contact with the family and provided consular support. "We will always look to learn lessons to improve the consular support we offer to other families in the future." It is understood Foreign Office officials are reviewing recent correspondence from Ms Harrison's family and intend to respond. The Collin County District Attorney's Office has been approached for comment.

Filly, real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, faces three charges of sexual penetration without consent. He has also been charged with possessing cannabis on 20 May this year. He was previously charged with six counts of sexual penetration without consent, three counts of assault and one count of strangulation over the alleged incident in a Perth hotel room in September 2024, which he denied. Last month, the 31-year-old was found not guilty of three sexual penetration without consent charges, while the other three resulted in a hung jury - meaning they could not decide if he was guilty or not. Barrientos was also cleared of the strangulation count and one of the assault counts. However, he was found guilty of the other two assault counts, relating to allegations he bit the victim's neck and breast. The woman - who was 20 at the time and cannot be named - was a fan of the star and went back to his hotel room after he played at a nightclub. She said they had initially had consensual sex but that it became non-consensual and violent. Prosecutor Danielle Clarke told Judge Linda Black the alleged victim was willing to testify again at the retrial. The court said that an application to vary Barrientos' bail conditions will be heard on 27 August, with the case mentioned for retrial in the District Court on 25 September. Barrientos will be sentenced for the assault convictions after his retrial. The possessing cannabis charge relates to an alleged offence on May 20, while he was on bail before the first trial. He faces a hearing at Mandurah Magistrates' Court near Perth on 1 September. Western Australia's courts previously set bail at 100,000 Australian dollars (£52,340).

Under new government plans, victims are expected to have their say in setting the boundaries to limit the chances of encountering perpetrators unexpectedly. This will give victims more "peace of mind and the confidence to get on with their lives" as offenders will have their movements monitored via GPS, according to ministers. The government is set to roll out the new, more rigorous version of existing exclusion zones in September, reports The Mirror. Offenders are currently banned from specific locations like a victim's place of work or home. The new zones will be worked out to ensure those freed can still get to important appointments and access services that help cut their reoffending chances. It comes as Andy Burnham is due to announce the findings of his review into the early prisoner release scheme when MPs return to Westminster at the start of September. 👉Listen to This Is Why on your podcast app👈  Justice Secretary Alex Norris said: "I'm determined that no victim should have to look over their shoulder, change their routine, or live in fear of crossing paths with the person who harmed them. "That's why we're introducing tough new restrictions on sexual and violent offenders, confining them to areas just a few miles wide and using GPS technology to monitor their movements. "Victims will have a say in setting these boundaries, giving them greater freedom, peace of mind and the confidence to get on with their lives. It's simple: offenders should carry the consequences of their crimes, not their victims."

The Italian also admitted they lacked fight in the loss but felt they were undercooked for their opener, as Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp labelled them a "team of strangers". Spurs' summer spending is set to surpass the £300m mark, with deals advancing for Manchester City pair Savinho and Omar Marmoush.

Latest Sky Sports deals or stream PL games with no contract📺 But despite five of Tottenham's six summer arrivals featuring against Brentford, Spurs were stung badly by the Bees in a deserved defeat that epitomised their back-to-back 17th-place finishes after avoiding relegation on the final day last season. De Zerbi said at his post-match press conference: "I think we are not a team yet, for a lot of reasons. We can fix the target when you become a team. Before (we) become a team, we can't say what we can do. "We are not in the right point in physical condition for a lot of reasons. For the players, they came late after the World Cup because in Australia [pre-season tour] we couldn't work in the right way for the trip; we don't take risks for a lot of things. "But (these) are not excuses, (this is) the normal situation when you are building a new project, a new process. I don't want time, but we have to pass through these problems. "I believe in my players, I believe in my club, I believe in myself. After the Hoffenheim game [final pre-season game last weeked], I said we are not in the right point, we are late for the start of the Premier League, but it's a step; we have to improve quickly. "We could fight stronger than we did today. We lost too many duels, we made too many mistakes in the timing when we wanted to push the pressure higher. We arrived second on the second ball; we didn't win one second ball, one duel, one tackle, and it's tough." He added: "Now the focus and the target is to become a team because a team. You can't become a team for the transfer market window - the player on paper, no. "You become a team with the players; they find the connection between them, they find the spirit, they find the soul - it's a process." De Zerbi's two 'big conditions' to become 'a team' Tottenham will aim to earn their first victory of the new season on Wednesday as they host Championship side Charlton in the Carabao Cup second round, live on Sky Sports, before hosting Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday, also live on Sky Sports. The ex-Brighton boss said: "We have to become a team, and to become a team, in my home, there are two big conditions: the soul and the style of play, and today, we didn't show the soul, and we didn't show the quality of the play with the ball and without the ball. "When we find these two conditions, I think we can become dangerous for everyone. "Until we reach these conditions, we have to suffer, and today, I think this defeat is important for us because maybe we woke up stronger than we thought." He added: "We need time, but I think we are much better than we showed today. So, from Wednesday, we can show our qualities and who we are. "But even if we win Wednesday or next Saturday, we need time to become a team." De Zerbi admits starting Bergvall was a risk Spurs conceded a soft second goal as Lucas Bergvall gave the ball to allow Mathias Jensen's saved shot that led to Vitaly Janelt's rebound strike. Bergvall was substituted at half-time for Rodrigo Bentancur, and De Zerbi admitted he knew the 20-year-old would struggle with Brentford's physicality, but the experienced Bentancur was not fit enough to start. He said: "Lucas Bergvall for the second goal. I think he didn't play badly today, even if I substituted at half-time. "But Lucas Bergvall, in the next two years, he will not lose that ball in that moment of the game." He added: "If you analyse last season, the defensive line is: (Pedro) Porro, (Kevin) Danso, Micky van de Ven and (Destiny) Udogie. And today, Archie Gray, JP Van Hecke, (Marcos) Senesi and (Andy) Robertson - four new players. "Two midfielders [last season]: Rodrigo Bentancur and (Joao) Palhinha. Today, two midfielders: Bergvall (and Tonali). Why not Bentancur? Because he came late in the pre-season. "In the pre-season, we worked with Lucas Bergvall. I think at the beginning of the season, the new project, it was right to play with Lucas Bergvall. But I knew before the game that Lucas Bergvall, in this type of game, maybe he could suffer more than Rodrigo Bentancur, who is 29 years old and Lucas is 20. I knew before the game, but at the end you have to think. We go and we try to build something good for the club. "For the plan, for the project, what the club want and what we are in the direction we are working, I think is the normal process. "Even if we are suffering for defeat, we are shocking for this defeat, especially for the way we lost the game, because they deserve to win and we played very, very bad." Gray: Brentford outfought us Archie Gray became Spurs' youngest-ever captain in a competitive fixture as he took the armband in the absence of new skipper Micky van de Ven. The 20-year-old, who played at right-back due to Pedro Porro's late return from Spain's World Cup win, admitted the team lacked fight in the defeat. He told Sky Sports: "It was simple really: we lost too many duels. They just outfought us all over the park. We need to watch it back: that's the main thing we need to do better. "For whatever reason, we weren't up for the fight as they were. That's on us. For the fans, they were incredible, for us to let them down like that in the first game, there are no words for it."

Many of the UK's chains could introduce "policies to prohibit and/or restrict the wearing of camera-enabled smart glasses", according to the industry's trade body. Money blog: Products that have most increased in price All of the major operators are considering their approach to the tech, according to the UK Cinema Association (UKCA), as they respond to the rise of what some people have dubbed "spy glasses" or "pervert glasses". The wearable technology features cameras embedded inside the frame and facilitates discreet recording. A small light flashes during taping. But no bans have been issued to date, as far as the UKCA is aware, as moviehouses seek to balance possible film recording and privacy concerns with the accessibility benefits some users can get from the glasses. Patrons with a visual impairment or who are hard of hearing can benefit from the spectacles, according to UKCA chief executive Phil Clapp. These glasses can be useful to some moviegoers. Bespoke subtitling can come with some smart frames, Mr Clapp said. Why now? While smart glasses are not a new concept, Meta's have proven popular, with more than seven million pairs sold in 2025 alone. An ad campaign fronted by billionaire Kylie Jenner has also brought new attention to the artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled glasses. As well as taking pictures and recording video, Meta glasses enable conversations with AI, listening to music and taking calls. They also feature a screen on the right lens, allowing wearers to read messages, translate a conversation or look at a map without taking out their phone. How are others responding? Theatres, pubs and restaurants have been taking a stance on the technology as its popularity grows. One of the UK's biggest pub chains, Wetherspoons, has implemented an effective ban by not allowing people to record with the glasses in their pubs. The owner of theatres across London, the Edinburgh Playhouse and the Bristol Hippodrome, ATG Theatres, will also prevent attendees from recording using the glasses. His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service told The Guardian "the use of Meta glasses is prohibited" over restrictions on taking images or videos within courts and tribunals. A Meta spokesperson said the glasses "provide critical new technology for people in the blind and low-vision community". "Limiting how people can use this technology would be a major step backwards," they added. "Naturally, some places shouldn't be filmed at all, and that's reasonable, but rules should be applied consistently. Our glasses have a light that turns on to let people know when a photo or video is taken, something smartphones and other cameras don't have." Have you been filmed using Meta glasses?

The document tells people arriving in the UK after fleeing other countries that women are allowed to "earn their own money" and "make their own decisions about their lives". Politics latest: Deporatations hit 10-year high Men appear to be the primary target for the instructions, although there are also resources for asylum seekers who think they may be victims of illegal behaviour. The guidance states that people are expected to not make sexual remarks about someone "even if you think it is a compliment", whistle or make "kissing sounds" at someone, follow someone or "block their path", make rude or offensive gestures, or "verbally abuse someone because of their gender, religion, or how they look". The guidance warns throughout that breaking the law can lead to trouble with law enforcement, lead to someone losing accommodation or support, and could affect an asylum claim. People are warned it's a serious crime to take or share sexual images without someone's consent. As well as the guidebook, a series of posters have been designed by the Home Office to inform asylum seekers. The guidance was published in a nine-page document titled "Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: A guide for asylum seekers". Sections include gender equality, domestic abuse, sex and consent, and respect in public – as well as getting help and living in the UK. Some 101,000 people claimed asylum in the year ending December 2025, 4% less than the previous year, with around 46,000 detected arrivals coming to Britain via illegal routes, such as small boats. Illegal migration and the visible issue of people crossing the Channel in small boats are policy areas the government is determined to look tough on, and these documents are understood to be part of a plan to ensure not knowing the law is not an excuse for illegal actions. It has also been focused on by parties like the Conservatives and Reform UK, and there have been a series of high-profile criminal cases involving asylum seekers. Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp said: "Instead of trying to train these mainly young, male illegal immigrants to behave in a civilised way towards women, they should be deported." In a video posted on X, Reform home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf described the guidance as a "disgrace".

Domestic abuse is defined in the guidance as physical violence, threats, controlling behaviour, emotional abuse and taking away someone's documents. Asylum seekers are told they are expected to treat family and their partners with respect, let them make their own choices, and never physically or verbally abuse or control them. The sex and consent page explains that both people must consent to sex without threat or pressure, someone can change their mind at any time even if they agreed previously, and someone "asleep, drunk, or unable to respond" cannot consent. It adds: "Consent is needed in every situation. This means even if you are married or in a relationship with someone, they must consent to sex every time." The chapter says that people are expected to never use "threat, force or pressure" to make someone have sex, never try to have sex with someone who is asleep, drunk or unable to consent clearly, and to stop if someone says no or changes their mind. It is mentioned that anyone under the age of 16 is considered a child and therefore legally cannot consent to having sex. How to behave in public is also covered, with asylum seekers "told that people have different beliefs, religions, cultures, relationships and ways of life", and they must "treat others with respect, even if you disagree with their beliefs or how they live". Tap to never miss an episode: Follow Cheat Sheet here Support numbers for victims are provided at the bottom of each section and in a chapter at the end of the document. A Home Office spokesperson said: "We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws. If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK."

Fury claimed on Friday that the proposed fight is in serious doubt after Joshua supposedly asked for "more money", labelling him and his team "cowards". But Hearn, who represents Joshua, is confident the fight will still go ahead. 'Keep on running!'

You saw Tyson Fury shouting and screaming - there's nothing to shout and scream about, the fight's done," he told DAZN. "The fight's signed. No-one can pull out of the fight. You can't just pull out of a contract. "There's no suggestion that the fight's not happening, no-one can stop this fight from happening. The only way it can stop from happening is if they actually breach the contract." Fury and Joshua have been in talks about staging the proposed all-British bout in November, with Madison Square Garden in New York as the likely location. Hearn said the original fight contract stipulated that the bout would be staged in the UK, but Saudi organisers Sela are pushing for a move to the United States. "We know everybody and his dog involved in the fight wants to do the fight in America. We don't," added Hearn. "We've told Sela and the team if you want to do it in America, these are the terms that we can move forward with. But we'd rather not please." Joshua and Fury were unable to agree terms in 2021 and fight plans fell apart after a US judge ruled Fury had to face Deontay Wilder in a trilogy fight instead.
