Noah, who was autistic, non-verbal and partially deaf, went missing on Tuesday afternoon after he ran down an alleyway during a visit to a village playground in Brantham. The boy became separated from a relative and his disappearance sparked a major search operation involving the police, coastguard and about 1,300 volunteers. :: How the Suffolk search unfolded On Wednesday, Superintendent Tom Pearse said a child's body had been discovered in a nearby pond. "Formal identification has yet to take place, but the family of Noah Woods have been informed of this development," he said. "The discovery of the body is currently being treated as not suspicious but unexplained." The body was recovered from Decoy Pond, a fishing lake near to the play area in Merriam Close where he was last seen. Specialist dive teams from the Metropolitan Police had been deployed to assist with the hunt for the boy and were seen searching the water on Wednesday afternoon. The search was made more difficult because Noah would not have responded to his name if called. As well as a massive ground search, helicopters, sniffer dogs, thermal imaging were used to try and find Noah, with police going door to door and scouring CCTV.

"As a parent myself, I completely understand why people would want to help and such a response is one that typifies the strong sense of community and the heart-warming nature of Suffolk people that make the county such a special place," he said. "I am sure you appreciate the family now need time, space and privacy and I thank you for your understanding in this." Volunteers who were gathered in a garden area at Brantham Leisure Centre were brought to tears after Mr Pearse broke the news. Brantham Parish Council said: "Our thoughts are with Noah's family, friends and everyone who knows and loves him at this incredibly difficult time." The leisure centre, which had become a hub for search efforts and the massive community response, will remain open on Thursday to offer support, the council said. Police released CCTV shortly after midday on Wednesday showing Noah's last known movements at the playground. The footage shows him running and interacting with a piece of play equipment.

Irish musician Aaron Rowe, Danish band Lukas Graham and Billie Eilish's brother and musical collaborator, Finneas, announced late on Tuesday that they were pulling out of Sheeran's The Loop tour. The collective withdrawal came after Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, claimed he had been taken off the British star's tour after he made pro-Palestinian comments during a show in New Jersey. Sheeran's backing band, Irish folk group Beoga, also announced they were pulling out. Lukas Graham and Rowe had been due to open for Sheeran at his next concert in Philadelphia on Saturday. Rowe said: "I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children. I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal." A statement on the Lukas Graham Instagram said: "Money doesn't give you the right to own the conversation. Nobody's bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we're allowed to acknowledge." Citing the "silencing of Macklemore", Beoga said: "We are a traditional Irish band who never saw ourselves playing in stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on us." Finneas said: "Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed". 'I am not complicit' Earlier on Tuesday, Sheeran said he was "appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine" and described the "suffering and pain caused on both sides" as a human tragedy in a lengthy Instagram statement. "I am not complicit," he said. "I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care." Sheeran said his audiences often include children and young people "from all backgrounds", which is why he does not use the stage for politics. The statement also said the decision to remove Macklemore from the tour came from the promoter and was not his own. Sheeran said "venues for upcoming concert dates got in touch to say they would pull the gigs if Macklemore was still involved", adding he was told this stance was based "on how Macklemore conveyed part of his message... rather than on everything that was said". Macklemore told the crowd he wanted people in Gaza and the West Bank to know they had not been forgotten, which led to a petition demanding he be removed from the remaining dates. Pink criticised the Thrift Shop artist for standing in "front of a stadium full of music-loving families, with violent images from a war on the screens, dedicated a song to the movement of his choice, and then took the mic to tell all of the Jews in the stadium that it wasn't about them". She added: "You don't get to decide that for us." After posting a video of himself on stage during the concert, Macklemore said on social media that "wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial". His announcement that he had been taken off Sheeran's tour received public support from artists including Kneecap, CMAT and Paloma Faith. 'I would never let down fans' Sheeran said he had spoken with the venues "all week to try and build a bridge" but the "venue's and promoter's decision was final". One of these people was Robert Kraft, whose Kraft Group owns Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, where Sheeran is due to play later in September, the statement said. "I was also involved in direct talks with promoters along with activists on both sides to try and find a mutual resolution for all, but the venue's and promoter's decision was final," Sheeran said. "Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine. Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, not me." The singer said he would "never let down the fans who had made plans, nor would I abandon the touring crew and the other support acts and musicians who rely on me for work and to make a living". He said he had always sought to "bring people from all backgrounds and cultures together and this won't ever change". Sheeran said: "There is a reason I do not use my professional platform for politics - my audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds. Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum." He said he respected Macklemore's "strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes" but that "there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace". In a statement provided to NBC News, Sky News' US partner network, Mr Kraft said the decision on his venues was reached following Macklemore's comments and "a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery that we believe has been deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community". He said: "This decision is not about diminishing the suffering of innocent Palestinians or denying anyone the right to advocate on their behalf. Their pain and loss are real." Macklemore's advocacy "should not come at the expense of the Jewish community or obscure the responsibility of Hamas", Mr Kraft added.

Wandsworth Council is set to increase council tax for a Band D property by £958 - a 94% rise - from April 2027, in response to what it describes as the "financial pressure" of government reforms. The south London borough previously had one of the lowest council tax rates in Britain. However, following the publication of what it calls a "comprehensive" spending review, the Conservative administration says the government's Fair Funding reforms will reduce Wandsworth's funding by £84m a year. Check how much your council tax is set to rise The authority claims the reduction is equivalent to its combined total annual spend on parks, libraries, leisure centres, bin collection and street cleaning. It says that new spending reforms will place "significant additional pressure on essential local services and means the council must make tough choices". 'Savage cuts' Council leader Robert Morritt, who took over the role in July, admitted that increasing council tax was not a decision he "ever wanted us to have to make", but said the announcement was being made now to ensure "local people have the maximum amount of time to adjust". He blamed the increase on "savage cuts from central government" and "a dramatic reduction" in the council's level of reserves. Commenting on the outcomes of the spending review, Mr Morritt said the council was "setting out a clear plan to protect the services residents rely on while tackling the financial challenges facing the council". He said that "difficult decisions" had been taken in a bid to help ensure that services "remain sustainable into the future". Mr Morritt added: "There are difficult choices in this report, but there are also clear priorities: cleaner streets, safer communities, stronger housing services, support for vulnerable residents and action to put the council back on a sustainable financial footing." Read more from Sky News:Baby wards to get 'cot cams' after Letby inquirySupport artists pull out of Ed Sheeran tour Peter Graham, deputy leader of Wandsworth Council and cabinet member for finance, said: "We promised that we'd be honest with residents. "Council tax will need to rise unless government thinks again. And it must think again. "We do not want to do this, and we do not take this decision lightly, but the scale of the financial pressure facing Wandsworth means additional income is now needed to protect the services people rely on." Mr Graham insisted that the council was "fighting" for a "fairer deal", and that Wandsworth should not be "punished" for "running efficient services and keeping council tax low". He added: "Our message to residents is clear: we are on your side, we are making your case, and we will keep fighting for the funding Wandsworth deserves."

"We've gone out of the cup and the feeling around the place feels bigger than that," he said. "I'm happy enough to be honest about that. That's how it feels." It's a story that's been seen before. A dismal Carabao Cup experience at the first hurdle - this time throwing away a 2-0 lead to exit to Brighton - harks back to memories of Ruben Amorim's disappointing defeat at Grimsby last year, which helped signal the beginning of the end.

Latest Sky Sports deals or stream PL games with no contract📺 A cup exit to the Seagulls was also reminiscent of the FA Cup defeat United suffered to Fabian Hurzeler's side at the start of the year. That was the last match before Carrick returned to the club and sparked a mini-revival. Now it seems like United are back to square one again. Even Pascal Gross scoring the equaliser at Old Trafford brought back memories of how he netted twice at United's home in August 2022 to put Erik ten Hag's tenure on the back foot, in the same way Carrick is facing an uphill battle now. Gross still doing the business four years later is a great testament to the German's longevity at 35 years old - but it's an even more damning reflection of United's lack of progression in that time. Since that match in 2022, which came 1,502 days ago, Gross has secured European football for Brighton, left the club for Borussia Dortmund, rejoined the Seagulls, got them back into Europe, watched on as United spent £365m on seven new central midfielders - and still he stood tall above the United midfield. Around £140m of that pot started for United against Brighton in Youri Tielemans, Mason Mount and Andrey Santos, while a further £70m in Carlos Baleba watched on from the stands as his old club beat his new one. What must he be thinking? Just like against Hull on the opening weekend of the season, United were outfought by Brighton. "They didn't look fit enough," said Jamie Redknapp. "I don't know if a lot of them do enough. I saw too many players not running back or not looking fit enough." Many can point towards the nine changes Carrick made, with many of United's players coming into the team after weeks on the Premier League bench. But Brighton also made six changes to their regular line-up, including first starts for the club to four summer signings. What was their excuse? Once again, the lack of investment in the defensive positions during the transfer market was very clear. The warnings about not addressing that position were there - and a big reason for Brighton turning the game on its head was the defensive displays of Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven. "The inexperience of the two young centre-backs definitely showed," said Redknapp. "The pair of them were just inept in everything they did. If you look at Luka Vuskovic, who is 18 or 19, at this level he has aggression, winning challenges, recovery runs. "And you looked at the two who played at United who played like everything was easy, making bad decisions - there was a difference in Brighton's defending when it came to going about their business." The difference was seen in the second goal, as Vuskovic won a header ahead of Benjamin Sesko and the ball ran straight through the heart of the United defence for Gross to score easily. Heaven was caught on his heels and failed to come across. "He doesn't anticipate the danger. Sprint, get to the penalty spot. But he's jogging. "And Yoro, what kind of an effort is that to stop the shot? How easy was that? This isn't a five-a-side competition." And for the third goal, Yoro was caught jogging back again as Brighton broke to score - not only highlighting Redknapp's defensive concerns about United, but their fitness ones too. "You've got to sprint Leny," he said. "He's jogging. If he sprints, he gets back and makes that block." But while United are making familiar mistakes, they are still making unwanted history. Not only was this the first time in 50 years that an opposition team has won at Old Trafford having been 2-0 down in the game, but it was the first time United have lost at home after holding a half-time lead in 551 half-time leads. The time before the defeat to Brighton came in 1984, which pre-dated Sir Alex Ferguson's time at the club. Throw in a joint-worst start to a Premier League season after four games and the pressure is really growing on Carrick. United's only win so far this season has been a 5-2 win over Ipswich that saw United struggle for the best part of an hour. And while there have been some mitigating factors - worldies at Everton and a contentious Manchester derby winner - there have been too many of those to be one-offs already. It all sets up a massive Super Sunday game this weekend away at winless Fulham, facing their own early woes under Alvaro Arbeloa. What follows is a three-week international break which is prime time for an early managerial change. A win at Craven Cottage buys Carrick time. Defeat and it will be a long period of questions.

The book claims in the days after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, then-Prince Charles told her brother "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough". The comment was allegedly made during the arrangements for Diana's funeral where Prince William and Prince Harry, then aged 15 and 12, would walk in their mother's funeral procession in September 1997. In response to the claims, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said Charles is "mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason". "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss," the statement adds. The allegations were made in the book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which is being serialised in the Daily Mail - and is due to be published next week. The book also claims the Earl insisted Diana would not have wanted her young sons to have made the difficult public walk. Sky News' royal correspondent Laura Bundock described the statement from Buckingham Palace as a "really remarkable intervention" and a "very robust response" which is "beyond punchy". "It is, as they say very unusual for them to make any comment about a book. They normally do not comment on books," she added. Bundock noted Buckingham Palace didn't respond to Prince Harry's book Spare. "This is a very different situation, [I think] at this point they feel they simply cannot stay silent given who has written the book, Diana's brother, given the subject of the book, Diana herself, and given the nature of the allegations made," Bundock added. Princess Diana died in a Paris car crash in August 1997. William, Harry, Charles, Prince Philip and the Earl walked behind Diana's coffin in a funeral procession through central London to the funeral service at Westminster Abbey.

​Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said on Tuesday his office has chosen not to seek the death penalty against Nick Reiner. Nick Reiner, 33, pleaded not guilty to the alleged murder of his father and mother in the family's home in the affluent suburb of Brentwood. The bodies of Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found at their home on 14 December. Nick Reiner was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman said outside a central Los Angeles courthouse that ​prosecutors took into account the wishes of the surviving Reiner family members in reaching their decision not to seek the death penalty. The maximum penalty prosecutors said they would ‌now seek is life in prison without parole. Prosecutors informed the judge they would not be seeking the death penalty during a pre-trial hearing which took place shortly after their intentions were announced. Nick Reiner appeared in court for the hearing.

England were 1-0 up and were five minutes plus stoppage time away from a first World Cup final since 1966. But goals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez turned the game on its head, after Tuchel had gone to a back five midway through the second half. Tuchel - who made controversial comments about England's DNA after the semi-final loss - did admit that he may have played a defensive style of play too early in the semi-final. But he also added that England's growing fatigue throughout the tournament and Argentina's crazy tactics meant he simply had to make those changes. England news and analysis | Follow our England blogSome England players bemused by semi-final substitutionsNeville: I have a big problem with Tuchel's DNA comments "You can try to kill me here. But it's my scar, it's not your scar," said the England manager, when reviewing the entire tournament in an England documentary. "I have to live with it. It's not you having to live with this. I'm in charge here and I take these decisions. "No-one is more hurt than me, no-one wanted it more. They can endlessly torture you and think: if I had done different substitutions, then we would have won the match. You just don't know it." Read below for the England manager's views in full on how the Three Lions lost the World Cup... 'The Spence tackle did something to me' Remember that huge Djed Spence tackle that kept England 1-0 up? That was the moment things started to change in Tuchel's head. England had just led through Anthony Gordon and had two more chances to extend the lead through Declan Rice and Harry Kane. But an Argentina break saw Giuliano Simeone run through on goal, leaving Spence to make a last-ditch tackle. Tuchel said: "We did quite well in the first half, it was totally an even match. We had good ball possession moments. I was actually happy and I saw us growing into this match. I felt we were there. "From the start of the second half, I felt us on the back foot. I felt Argentina were more liberated and free in their movements, finding better solutions. Then we score, we have the next chance straight away. "We go after them, we have a ball win, we have a chance, we have another half chance, we lose the ball in another attack and it's the Spence tackle and they almost score from a counter-attack. "It did something to me, it maybe did something to the players. And we suddenly shift into a mindset of: 'let's just overcome it'. We played like there were four minutes left, rather than 30. "From executions, the details of execution, playing around in deep build-up, playing around Messi, playing to one side then switching the side, bringing the game in the opponent's half, making them suffer, having time to recover physically and mentally in ball possession, we were lacking all these things." 'I thought, we will not survive this' Jordan Pickford produced a big save to deny Nicolas Gonzalez just before the final water break of the match. That prompted Tuchel to make a change. Off came goalscorer Gordon and defender Ezri Konsa arrived. England were in the controversial back five. Tuchel said: "Argentina then play very, very quickly. Sorry for the language, [they played] f*** it football. 'We have nothing to lose. Let's f*** it.' "They played four strikers. They played two wingers, the two strikers and Messi. They took a No 6 off and put a No 10 in. A central defender off and played a No 6. At some points they played 3-1-6. And we struggled. "A key moment if I look back at it and what happened to my decision-making, we conceded a big, big chance right before the water break. And I thought: we will not survive. This is waiting for death. We don't have ball possession, we're not defending good, we're not defending properly in our 4-4-2. We need help. "I wanted to give the players something: this is what we do. This is what we do now. "Coming with this mindset and this experience, we ended the game against Norway in a back five. We ended the match against Mexico in a back five. And we did it. I thought Argentina relied heavily on crosses, they have four strikers in the last line. I think: let's play in a back five. "I changed to a 5-3-2, we changed the structure. Because I believe we can handle the width better and we still have three central defenders in the middle if crosses still fly in. We changed then to a 5-4-1. Even my mindset is maybe like: let's just overcome it. And it's too early. Too early for that mindset." And the pressure did not stop. Alexis Mac Allister struck the woodwork just after the break. England were under the cosh. The Argentina goals came shortly after. 'If we were better on the ball, I wouldn't have changed it' Tuchel believes that the emotional toil of winning late on against DR Congo after trailing so long, then playing with 10 men in the Azteca altitude, then beating Norway in extra-time in the intense Miami heat played its part against Argentina. Tuchel said: "It just piles up through the tournament. Congo, 70 minutes trailing 1-0, Mexico the altitude, flying to Miami and playing against Norway. We are tired. And still we hang on until the 88th minute." Asked if could have made attacking subs instead, Tuchel added: "Of course you could. No-one knows what would have happened. We could have done it and maybe lost 2-1 and could have gone: 'Is he crazy? He finished the game against Norway with a back five, why didn't finish the game of with five?' "I think from what I saw and the experience, the information and the level of craziness from Argentina put in - change after change after change, it was just one offensive change after the other. That was my solution to the problem. "That's what the intervention of a coach is. I try to help, you don't implement anything for your ego or whatever. You just try to help. "If we would have been more stable in the game, with more percentage of ball possession, I would have not changed the structure, why would I? And I would have gone for offensive changes. But that is a very, very difficult road to have gone down. That can torture you."
