Warning: This article contains distressing content. Noelia Castillo Ramos, 25, said she was raped on two occasions, once by her ex-boyfriend and the second time by three boys in 2022, describing this as a turning point in her life. She jumped from the fifth-floor window of an apartment building in a cocaine-fuelled attempt to end her own life in October 2022 after previously overdosing on medication, according to legal rulings. The fall left her paraplegic, and she is suffering severe, chronic and incapacitating pain with no possibility of improvement, her medical reports show. Noelia, from Barcelona, Spain, will be euthanised today after a long legal battle with her father, which ended with a ruling in her favour from the European Court of Human Rights. "I want to go now in peace and stop suffering, period," Noelia told Spanish TV programme Y Ahora Sonsoles in her only interview, recorded at her maternal grandmother's house. Noelia, who is living in a Barcelona care home, said she has been "very clear" about her wish to die from the beginning. "None of my family is in favour of euthanasia. But what about all the pain I've suffered during all these years," she said. "The happiness of a father, a mother, or a sister cannot be more important than the life of a daughter." She said she "always felt alone" and "saw my world as very dark", even before requesting euthanasia. She doesn't feel like "doing anything", has back and leg pain and said sleeping was "very difficult". Her mother, Yolanda 'Yoli' Ramos, told the Spanish broadcaster that while she still hopes her daughter will change her mind, she will be by her side "until the very end". 'I want to die alone' Noelia said she wants to "die looking pretty, I want to die beautiful", adding that she will wear her prettiest dress and put on some makeup. She said that while she has invited her family to say goodbye, she wants to be alone in her bedroom at the care facility at the moment of her death. She will have four photos with her when she dies: one of her painting a portrait of her mother, one of her childhood puppy, another from her first day of school and a fourth from her childhood, which she said are reflecting "happy" moments in her life. Noelia has been in psychiatric treatment since she was 13 and her parents separated. She was eventually diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Her father witnessed her attempt to take her own life in October 2022. "My father saw me fall and couldn't do anything. But after everything he's done, I don't feel sorry for him anymore," she told Y Ahora Sonsoles, referencing his legal challenge to stop her euthanasia. "He hasn't respected my decision and he never will." Two-year legal battle Noelia's euthanasia request was initially granted by a specialised expert committee in Catalonia in July 2024, with the procedure scheduled for 2 August 2024, but her father has blocked it ever since. Geronimo Castillo, supported by the ultra-conservative advocacy group Abogados Cristianos or Christian Lawyers, argued that Noelia's mental illness impaired her ability to decide to end her life. During a nearly two-year-long legal battle, he took the case through Spain's courts, finally reaching Spain's highest tribunal, the Constitutional Court, in February. The court rejected his argument, ruling that there had been no violation of fundamental rights. As the final instance, Mr Castillo took the case to the European Court of Human Rights, where his request for interim measures to stop Noelia's euthanasia was rejected on 10 March, according to newspaper El Pais. As a last-ditch effort, his legal team on Wednesday asked an investigating court looking into Noelia's medical-legal team to introduce "urgent precautionary measures" to stop her euthanasia, but a judge rejected the request due to lack of jurisdiction. "I've finally done it," Noelia said, adding: "Let's see if I can finally rest". According to several sources, Noelia Castillo Ramos's euthanasia is scheduled for 5pm Spanish time (4pm UK time).

Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, of Orlando, Florida, is accused of opening fire on the property in Los Angeles when the singer and her hip-hop star partner A$AP Rocky, as well as their three young children and others, were home on 8 March. Ortiz is charged with one count of attempted murder in relation to Rihanna, 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an occupied vehicle or dwelling. Through her attorney, she also pleaded not guilty to the other counts at Los Angeles Superior Court. The 35-year-old faces life in prison if convicted on all charges. She has been jailed on $1.8m (about £1.35m) bail. Her lawyer, deputy public defender Derek Ray Dillman, spoke in court as Ortiz appeared behind glass in a custody area, wearing yellow prison clothes with her blonde hair in braids. She spoke only to agree to waive her right to a speedy preliminary hearing, the next phase of the case where evidence is presented to determine whether a trial is warranted. District Attorney Nathan Hochman previously said Rihanna and Rocky were in an Airstream trailer at the time of the shooting, while her mother, their children and staff members were in the main house. No one was injured in the incident, police said. About 20 shots were fired at the house, located in the Beverly Crest neighbourhood of LA.

This is the kind of conduct that could easily have resulted in multiple homicides." When Ortiz was arrested hours afterwards, she was alone in her car with the rifle, more rounds and a wig she intended to use as a disguise, Bott said. Public records show Ortiz has been a licensed speech pathologist for more than a decade. Rihanna is a nine-time Grammy winner with 14 number ones hits in the US and nine in the UK, including We Found Love, Umbrella, What's My Name and Diamonds. She is also the founder of make-up brand Fenty Beauty.

The letter, seen by Sky News, calls for the government to fully commit to the measure, arguing it could knock hundreds of pounds off household energy bills by ending the "rigged system". Politics Live: Threat from Russia has grown', says Starmer The UK uses a model of marginal cost pricing, where gas almost always sets the price of electricity, even if most of it comes from cheaper renewables. In a bid to pile further pressure on the energy secretary, the Green MPs have also tabled an Early Day Motion in parliament, and are seeking signatories of Labour MPs. It is not clear how many could sign it - but it comes at a time of deep frustration among Labour backbenchers at the loss of votes to the Greens, and fears about a rise in the cost of living because of the ongoing Iran war. The Greens' letter, headed by MP Carla Denyer and signed by the four other Green MPs, says the current system puts energy bill payers across the country "at the mercy of global gas price fluctuations". She says: "I am aware that you have previously said that your department is looking into taking control of electricity prices by decoupling, but I am concerned that to-date this has not amounted to any firm action, meaning the public are once again exposed. "With prices set to soar, the public cannot wait any longer. So can you confirm that the government will move beyond 'looking into' and instead commit to decoupling the price of gas from the price of electricity? And when can we expect an update to parliament on these steps?" It has long been Green Party policy to decouple electricity prices from gas, something its "eco-populist" leader Zack Polanski restated support for in a speech on the economy last week. As Sky News reported this week, Mr Miliband told a meeting of Labour MPs on Monday that he is committed to looking at unhitching electricity prices from gas, saying it would be "complicated but possible". However, this was a private meeting and it is not the government's official position. Asked about decoupling in the Commons on Tuesday, Rachel Reeves argued gas is setting the price of electricity "something like a third less than it was just four years ago", due to a reduction of gas imports. Changing the system would require a significant state intervention, something the fiscally conservative chancellor is typically wary of. However, Mr Miliband, whose politics are more to the left than those of Ms Reeves, is under pressure as he has driven Labour's flagship green policies. This includes the ambition to become a clean superpower by 2030, where 95% of electricity would come from renewables in a bid to drive down bills by around £300 a year. The former Labour leader has stood firm on this commitment amid calls from the Tories, and some Labour MPs, to allow new licences for oil and gas drilling in the North Sea to boost energy security. 'End rip off Britain' However some experts, such as eco-tycoon Dale Vince, warn that even if Mr Miliband's green dreams are realised households will not feel the economic benefit without decoupling - as gas will dictate prices even if it is a small part of the mix. Mr Miliband is said to be looking at a report the Labour donor has released on "breaking the link", but there are various alternative proposals. A report by the Common Wealth think tank last week recommend passing emergency legislation to instruct the National Energy System Operator to act as a single buyer of electricity, taking renewable generators out of the wholesale market and paying them fair, fixed prices. Ms Denyer, the Green's energy spokesperson and a former offshore wind engineer, told Sky News that with another fossil fuel shock looming, "looking into it really isn't going to cut it". She added: "We need decisive action to end rip-off Britain. The government must commit now to breaking the link between expensive gas and cheaper renewables." The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has been contacted for comment.

Then it was a 2-1 semi-final victory over Austria, and then a nerve-wracking, emotional 1-0 win over Ukraine in the play-off final. For both matches, Wales enjoyed home advantage in Cardiff, and in 2026, that pathway remains the same - home advantage. Apart from the joy and pride the current Wales cohort will take from qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, if Wales do succeed in the play-offs, it will mark a major moment in the country's football history. Never before have they made it to back-to-back World Cups, and if they do qualify, it will mark a decade of consistent qualification for major tournaments with the Euros in 2016 and 2020, along with the 2022 World Cup. Can a new Wales generation step up for World Cup?How do the World Cup play-offs work? Wales will also host the opening game of Euro 2028, along with five other matches in Cardiff. Not a bad return over a dozen years for a nation of just three million people. Wilson to be a difference-maker against Bosnia? But Wales have to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina first, and that won't be easy. How they overcome Bosnia may well come down to a moment of magic, and from a Welsh perspective, that bit of magic could come from one of the Premier League's standout players this season in Harry Wilson. The 29-year-old has been excellent for Fulham and sensational for Wales. For country, if Wilson doesn't score, he's supplying an assist and often doing both. His last five games for Wales has seen him score five goals and provide two assists. Don't say it too loudly, but Wales are coping without Gareth Bale, and it's Wilson who has stepped up. Wales head coach Craig Bellamy believes Wilson has just naturally progressed as a hugely talented player. "He's just an exceptionally good player," Bellamy said. "Sometimes it just clicks for a player as well. The older you get, usually, not just as a footballer but as a person, the wiser you become, the smarter you become. "We're definitely seeing signs of that on the football pitch. His football IQ is very, very high. His positioning, how he's able to take up and his reading of the game, his understanding of the game. "I see he has definitely gone on to another level, which is allowing him more time, more space, and he's finding himself in the areas where he can do the most damage to the opposition team and with his ability, we're seeing the rewards of that." If Wales and Wilson can get him into the right positions to influence the game, then Bosnia will face challenges. Clearly, due to his form in the Premier League and for Wales, Wilson will be closely watched, and doubtless some of the darker arts of defending might be employed to stop him by Bosnia. It's how Wilson copes with that attention, and as his manager is a great believer in - stay patient, opportunities will come, it's just about when they present to be able to execute. For that, you sense that the crowd inside the Cardiff City Stadium will require patience themselves and believe that as an attacking threat, you only need to get lucky once. The match won't be a 7-1 rout like the last time Wales played and beat North Macedonia, perhaps a tighter affair on the scoreline. The stat that shows Bellamy's imprint While the scoreline may be close, what Bellamy will be insistent on is Wales' domination of possession, especially at home. It's not that Bellamy wants his teams to play like Manchester City or Barcelona at their pomp - he doesn't expect that - but he does expect his players to work incredibly hard without the ball. Bellamy loves profiling players and loves useful data, and there's one stat he's very proud of. Among European nations, Wales are ranked No 1 at winning the ball back within five seconds of losing it. That's what Bellamy demands, and as he points out, you can't do much without the ball, so why not get hold of it as quickly as you can. Over the 20 months that Bellamy has been in charge of Wales, he wanted to develop a unique identity, a USP for Wales, and domination of the ball is something that is very much standing out for them. Wales played two epic matches against a top-tier nation in Belgium during the qualification campaign, and yes, they were defeats, but great games that swung both ways - 4-3 away, 4-2 at home. Wales averaged 64 per cent possession over those two games. Against Bosnia, do not be surprised if the ball possession is similarly high. Wales won't rest or take a breather if Bosnia have the ball, they'll go hunting for it, and very quickly, otherwise their head coach might have a few words to say! Ampadu given Wales armband On the pitch, Bellamy needs leaders, as with many good club and country teams, you can point not just to one leader, but several players who, at a given point in a game, can provide that moment of calm, clarity, and almost statesmanlike authority. In Ethan Ampadu, perhaps Wales have a long-term replacement for both Ben Davies and Aaron Ramsey. Ampadu, at 25, has led Leeds United in the Premier League - and he's the captain. The player with that stature is now once again the captain of Wales, but he is naturally self-deprecating when asked about his role as a captain. He said: "I'd like to think that if I was wearing the armband or not, I'd still play the same way, I'd still try and lead the same way, I don't think anything changes. "I think maybe you might have to speak to the referee a little bit more, but in terms of actually playing and trying to lead it's going to be the same as I've done previously playing under different captains." Young he may still be, but he's well in excess of 50 caps for Wales and has seen action in three of the top five European leagues: Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A. He oozes experience. He's captained Wales before and does so again against Bosnia. Often, the role of the captain can be played down, but it's crucial because it's in those moments of crisis that the person entrusted with the armband can excel, and while Wales and Bellamy will plan and hope to eliminate any crisis moments if such a moment arises, Ampadu is a figurehead who can step up with authority. Whether that's how he speaks and perhaps influences the referee to organise and keep his team-mates calm and focused can be a defining difference. Leeds clearly think they have special talent, and Wales wholeheartedly agree. If anyone is in any doubt about what is expected of Wales under Bellamy then perhaps he subtlety slipped it in before the play-offs have even begun - saying Wales should be at the World Cup this summer, that the World Cup would be better for it if Wales were there in terms of what his team would bring and the no doubt tens of thousands of Welsh fans who'd make it by hook or by crook to the tournament. Bellamy knows he can't get ahead of himself; it's Bosnia first and foremost, but his belief in his players and team is sky-high, and as far as he is concerned, they're at a level to survive and thrive at a World Cup.

The former Duchess of York, and ex-wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, had the honour removed following a unanimous council vote on Thursday evening. She has faced mounting scrutiny and criticism over her friendship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in a New York prison in 2019. Ms Ferguson is mentioned several times in the Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice. Being named in the files does not suggest wrongdoing. The "freedom of the city" honour is a ceremonial role, awarded to notable figures. It does not grant any "privileges" in the city, according to York council's website. Andrew was stripped of the same honour in 2022. The couple were jointly awarded the status in 1987 following their wedding. In October, Ferguson lost her Duchess of York title when her ex-husband also had his royal title removed, although at the time she had only been using her first and last name in a professional capacity. Liberal Democrat Darryl Smalley, who proposed the motion to strip Andrew of the honour in 2022, told Thursday's meeting that previously he had not wanted to do the same to Ms Ferguson. He said: "At the time, it felt wrong to judge someone by the actions of their ex-husband. "[But] we now know, following the release of thousands of documents, that Sarah Ferguson, too, had a close friendship with Epstein, which continued well beyond his conviction. "We don't expect the recipients of York's highest honour to be saints. We simply do not want them to be best friends of convicted paedophiles." Read more from Sky NewsUK facing biggest economic hit from Iran warTransgender women banned from OlympicsGang-rape victim, 25, to be euthanised The council's Labour leader Claire Douglas added: "Honorary freedom is bestowed only on persons of distinction and those having given eminent services to the city of York. "As the people of York would expect, holding this status requires upholding the values and behaviours consistent with such an honour. "Those who continued to associate with Epstein after his crimes became widely known fall well short of these expectations." Last month, it was revealed that six firms linked to Ms Ferguson were being wound down following the release of some of the Epstein files. Her charity, Sarah's Trust, also announced it would close "for the foreseeable future". Sky News has approached Ms Ferguson for comment.

The US streaming service features HBO content as well as Warner Bros Pictures and Television, DC Studios and Max Originals shows and films. It means the return of Friends to a UK streaming service, as well as the Harry Potter films. Other content available on the platform includes new seasons of Euphoria and House Of The Dragon and the new Harry Potter TV series, which is expected to air next year. Subscription plans start at £4.99 a month, with adverts included. Ad-free plans start from £9.99 a month. TNT Sports subscribers can also access their subscription on HBO Max. Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers, with Ultimate TV and Sky Q customers, will see the app included at no extra cost. Ernest Doku, broadband and TV expert at Uswitch, said the launch marked a "major shake-up" for TV fans, with Sky the only major provider bundling HBO Max at no extra cost. "Its broadband and Ultimate TV package now includes ad-supported versions of HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, Discovery+, and Hayu. If you paid for those five services individually, this would cost £28 a month, whereas Sky's bundle - including their own suite of channels, as well as fibre broadband - costs just £39," Doku said. "There is a catch, as bundling requires a 24-month contract and means accepting ads. If you only watch one or two platforms, a standalone HBO Max subscription may offer more control, as you can leave penalty-free. "The launch of another platform is a good reminder to audit your subscriptions. If you find you are paying for multiple services you rarely watch, cancelling just one or two could save you over £100 a year."

Armed forces and law enforcement officers will be able to board Russian shadow fleet vessels as part of efforts to put more pressure on Vladimir Putin as the war in Ukraine enters its fifth year. The Royal Navy has supported allies with tracking shadow fleet ships in European and Mediterranean waters in recent weeks. Read more: Putin's shadow fleet in the Channel Sir Keir Starmer said: "Putin is rubbing his hands at the war in the Middle East because he thinks higher oil prices will let him line his pockets. "That's why we're going after his shadow fleet even harder, not just keeping Britain safe but starving Putin's war machine of the dirty profits that fund his barbaric campaign in Ukraine." "He and his cronies should be in no doubt; we will always defend our sovereignty and stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes," he added. PM attending military summit It comes as the prime minister is visiting Finland for a Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) summit in Helsinki, where he will declare the UK's support for Ukraine remains "steadfast". The JEF is a military coalition of 10 northern European countries led by the UK and aims to prevent incursions from Russian forces. Finland, Sweden, and Estonia have all recently carried out operations against suspected illegal shadow fleet vessels in the Baltic, while the UK provided assistance to US forces who boarded the sanctioned Russian-linked Bella 1 oil tanker in the Atlantic in January. You can follow live coverage of the PM's trip to Helsinki in the Politics Hub - including an exclusive interview with our political editor Beth Rigby.

The Egyptian forward - who will go down as one of Liverpool's greatest ever players - will depart at the end of the season, after nine stellar years at the club. Transfer Centre LIVE! | FREE Liverpool PL highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Liverpool games LIVE on your phone📱No Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 It opens up a huge summer ahead for the player and the club. How do Liverpool move on? What do Liverpool do now? And does it affect under-fire head coach Arne Slot? Sky Sports' transfer desk answers all the key questions regarding Salah, Liverpool and what happens now... Who made the decision for Salah to leave? Sky Sports News understands it was very much a joint decision between Liverpool, Salah and the player's representatives. This feels like a situation that suits everybody. What you've got now is both parties very clear on the summer ahead. Salah knows that he's in the market for a new club. Liverpool know that they're in the market to find a new attacking forward. The money Liverpool had ringfenced for his wages for the forthcoming season will now be available for them to spend on a new player. And any potential transfer fee that Liverpool would have gained by selling Salah, the player now knows that that fee will come to him as part of his package. That suits Salah because it gives him a greater ability to engineer the right deal for himself moving forward. Also, this being announced so soon gives Liverpool, the club and the fans the opportunity to show their appreciation between now and the end of the season - and give him the send off he deserves as one of Liverpool's greatest ever. And on top of that, Liverpool could still end up finishing this season with two trophies. There's a good chance that Salah will play a part in winning either of those if they do go on to win them. Everyone knows between now and the end of the season, it's the Mo Salah farewell tour. Do Liverpool regret giving Salah a new contract? No. Clearly, this season hasn't been Salah's most effective and his impact on the team has not been at the level it was in previous years. Liverpool signed Salah to a two-year contract in the summer of 2025 on very lucrative terms. Salah became the highest-paid player in Liverpool's history and he warranted that because of his performances last season. Today, a lot of people would say it was a bad move signing Salah on a new contract. But if you spoke to any group of football fans last summer and said: What should Liverpool do with Mo Salah? After the season he had, 99.9 per cent of people would say: you have to keep him. With hindsight, Liverpool were actually in a lose-lose situation. If they'd not signed him to a new deal, people would have said: Why are you letting this player go? And if Liverpool do sign him and he doesn't have an effective season - which looks like the case now - people would say: Why did you sign him? Liverpool did what they believed to be the right thing. Does Salah's decision to leave impact Arne Slot's future at all? Slot's future will have no bearing on the Salah situation. Liverpool have a long-term contract with Slot and right now they'll be focusing on finishing the season by trying to win two more trophies. If Liverpool go and win the FA Cup and Champions League, you'd imagine Slot would be going nowhere. Right now, Liverpool are not thinking about what will happen in the summer. What do we know about Salah's next move? Rami Abbas - Salah's agent - has made it very clear: they don't know what's going to happen, so no one else can know for sure. But there are lots of options. Everyone will immediately point towards Saudi Arabia. There are four sides in the Saudi Pro League that are under the guise of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), who have tried to sign Salah before. Some of those PIF teams already have big superstars. Some of them don't. But it would certainly be the four PIF-owned franchises in Saudi that would be at the front of the list. You would see him fitting into Al Ittihad more than anywhere else. They're having a bad season but are reigning champions. They lost their star player, Karim Benzema, who moved to Al Hilal in January. They need a star name and have tried to sign Salah in the past. In 2023, they made a verbal offer of £150m which was rejected. You would think they are favourites. Cristiano Ronaldo has complained that Al Nassr haven't been active in the transfer market. But does he want another superstar alongside him there? Al Hilal and Al Ahli are the two other Saudi PIF-led clubs. But Major League Soccer in the United States is another huge opportunity for Salah. Antoine Griezmann will move over there this summer and, after the impact Lionel Messi had in the United States, there are clubs there that would love to have someone of Salah's calibre. So the Saudi clubs would be at the front of the list and that's where everyone would expect him to go. But the Saudi offer will never disappear, so he might want to explore another opportunity and then visit Saudi later on in his career. Is Europe an option for Salah? There will be a number of LaLiga clubs and there will be a number of Serie A clubs that will be looking at Salah. Paris Saint-Germain - who Liverpool face in the Champions League quarter-finals - are a maybe, but signing a huge star goes away from what has brought them success in the last 12 months. They used to buy the best players they possibly could. Now they've realised that actually the Parisian home-grown, younger players bring a better team spirit than having individuals and superstars. A series of conversations will be held across Europe, across the big clubs, about whether they could afford Salah and whether he would be the right fit for their club. It's up to Salah on whether Europe is an option. If he wants to go and play for PSG and he's happy to play for £200,000-a-week, then so be it. If he wants £1m-a-week, then that limits his options. It's just about what's right for him and his family. But it's worth remembering that Salah was a free transfer last summer. Everyone knew until April last season that he was available for nothing - and he chose to stay at Liverpool. If he had all that big money on the table, which he would have undoubtedly had, why didn't he take it? Money's not his only motivator. What do we know about Liverpool's Salah succession plan? Liverpool's succession plan is unknown at this stage. They will not be looking at getting a like-for-like replacement. They will be looking at the player that fits the system and that depends on the system - and whose system - they decide to play. It is believed they will be looking at a player that can complement Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike. It won't just be a right-sided left-footer that does what Salah did. Liverpool will try and find a solution and that may look like a different type of player altogether. But if that player fits into the next version of Liverpool, then that's what they will be looking to do.
