The crash happened at 1.15pm local time on Friday when the bus plunged into a ravine on the GM-2 highway in La Gomera. All of the passengers, 24 adults and three children, were British. The person killed in the bus crash was a British man, the Foreign Office has said. He was aged 77, it is understood.

"Emergency health services attended to the 28 occupants of the bus, 27 tourists of British nationality and the driver," local officials said. Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper said in a post on X: "My thoughts are with those affected by the tragic incident involving a bus carrying British holidaymakers in the Canary Islands." She said the government was in touch with the local authorities and ready to support the Britons and their families.

Two people with serious injuries were being treated at Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe Hospital in San Sebastian de La Gomera on the island where the crash took place. Another 23 with minor injuries were also taken there. Images shared by the Canary Islands government on social media appear to show the bus had come off the road at a hairpin bend. The GM-2 road where the incident took place is high up, with spectacular views out to sea. La Gomera, the second smallest of the eight Canary Islands, is marked by the steep terrain of volcanic mountains, dense forest and cliffside villages. A statement from the British embassy in the Spanish capital, Madrid said: "Our thoughts go out to those affected by this tragic incident. "We are aware of the situation, and we stand ready to support British nationals. "We are also in touch with local authorities on the ground." A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are supporting the family of a British man who died in the bus accident in the Canary Islands and are in contact with the local authorities."

Cast your mind back to the early noughties: Eminem is one of the biggest artists in the world, reality stunt show Jackass dominates MTV - and two young skate-punk rappers from America are potentially on the verge of becoming hip-hop's next big thing. Silibil'n'Brains, aka Billy Boyd and Gavin Bain, had the tunes, the talent and the chutzpah. There was just one problem - they were not actually from Los Angeles, California, as they had told label bosses in the UK, but rather from Dundee, Scotland. After attempts to make it authentic were dismissed by industry bigwigs in London who made fun of their accents, they reinvented themselves as up-and-coming hip-hop stars from the West Coast - associates of the Eminem-fronted Detroit hip-hop group D12, no less. Boyd and Bain wanted to stick it to the man. But what started out as a joke turned into an audacious deception so convincing, they ended up with a record deal, TV appearances, and a support slot with... D12. Their story is now being told on the big screen in California Schemin', the directorial debut of X-Men, Filth and Atonement star James McAvoy. "I always thought it would be a cool story to tell the grandkids when I'm older," says Boyd. "Like, you're never gonna believe what I did when I was young. But that's as far as I thought it went." 'We were out of our depth' As Silibil'n'Brains, the pair really had to commit, re-recording the songs they already had with American accents, and remaining in character throughout their time in London. But as the lies snowballed and the money kept rolling in, the pressure mounted and eventually it became too much. Now, the pair are being played by Samuel Bottomley (Boyd) and Seamus McLean Ross (Bain) in California Schemin', with McAvoy starring as the record label executive who signs them. The film is based on Bain's memoir, written a few years after they left their American alter-egos behind. "When the book came out, people were reaching out to me and telling me their own stories," he says. People who had been bullied, "been the underdog... something was hitting home". Both men, speaking to Sky News on separate Zoom calls, say looking back, and seeing their lives played out on screen, has been surreal. "We were these young, wild skateboarders, musicians, just living a rock and roll lifestyle that we were so not used to," says Boyd. "We were completely out of our depth." Bain says they were running scared a lot of the time. "I think you see that in the way Sam and Seamus act it," he says. "But it's about not letting your fear hold you back - it's using it as a kind of booster cannon… "In some parts in the film, I just go, whoa... my adult brain is like, don't do that. But back then, we didn't really know the depth of it. But you look back and think, actually all of this was kind of perfect because if they didn't make fun of us the way they did, it probably wouldn't have lit a fire under us." After making the long journey from Dundee to London for an audition, the pair were mocked. "It was traumatic and embarrassing," recalls Bain. "It was a lot of tears on the way home that day. But once that was out the way it was like, they did light a fire." Supporting D12 Boyd says the American accents started as a prank. "It was almost to entertain ourselves a little bit because we were getting so many rejections, just for having Scottish accents." When they got their first show as US rappers, the idea was to walk off stage and reveal their true identity, he says. "But we got approached… I think fuelled with adrenaline from the show, it was like, 'we're from California'. It was kind of like, we're at a crossroads now." Tell the truth or continue the lie. "We went with the latter - and here we are, all these years later, with this crazy story." One memorable scene in the film comes when the pair arrive at their gig supporting Eminem's group D12, after previously saying they knew the rappers. "It was the ultimate high to the ultimate low," says Boyd, of being offered the shows. "Like, 'Oh my God, we're going to support D12!' And then, 'Oh my God… it's going to be so awkward'. It was bizarre but we got lucky, we got away with it." In the film, we see Bain pushing harder to keep up the pretence as Boyd's enthusiasm wanes. Bain says when he wrote his own book he had the "therapy of writing and seeing what I did wrong" at the time. "I can actually see in Seamus's performance... I felt angry a lot of the time, angry with the situation. I think a lot of it captures a kind of truth that's almost hard to write." There is good and bad in both characters in the film, he says, and it's not about blame. "It's more a case of showing that you can be best friends, but when you're in a situation where you're living as other people, you're gonna get the lines blurred... It was the pressure that drove us against each other." 'We weren't fake rappers' Something they both say they hated, after their deceit was exposed, was being dubbed "fake rappers". "That was the biggest issue I had with it all over the years," says Boyd. "We weren't fake rappers. We love hip-hop, we love the culture, and perfecting the craft, we put in hours and hours and hours of dedication. "We got to the point where we got signed, we got in the door by being these fake Americans, but we got signed because I guess we had the talent." Read more from Sky News:Female drug dealer who supplied fatal dose to Matthew Perry jailed The California lie was no desperate attempt to get famous, he adds. "It was us trying to open doors and prove a point that it shouldn't matter where you're from." He sees their tale as an underdog story. "It shouldn't matter what you look like, what you sound like. If you have the talent, you should be given the opportunities other people have." Comparisons were made to Milli Vanilli, the 1980s pop duo who didn't sing on their records, says Bain. "But nothing was fake about our talent." Silibil'n'Brains landed right at the beginning of the digital era. For anyone wanting to try the same trick now, social media would no doubt expose the cracks in the lie. But it might also have led to more authentic opportunities in the first place. A few years after their hip-hop hoax, MySpace launched artists including Lily Allen and Arctic Monkeys and paved the way for the removal of industry gatekeepers. Traditional geographical constraints have since been dismantled by streaming and the grip on the charts held by English language music has loosened dramatically, as proven by the rise of artists from BTS and Bad Bunny to Rosalia and Kneecap. Bain isn't convinced things have changed that much. "Us and [Irish-language rappers] Kneecap have had to have a movie break us to the world," he says. "Where are all the others? Why isn't there a Scots kid really being propelled to the world as a rapper? Because there's a lot of Scottish rappers." He says he hopes the film will shine more of a spotlight on the talent in Scotland. "Hip-hop and Scottish to labels, it didn't go together. And I still think there's that prejudice, you know, until someone comes through and has a big record and then it kind of breaks the thinking around it." But Boyd is more hopeful that things can be different now. "You don't have to be from a certain place anymore, you don't have to fit into this mould that you had to back then."

Speaking during a trip to the Middle East, the prime minister made the case for achieving energy independence, and argued that renewables are the quickest way to achieve that. "I'm fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses' bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world and saying to families across the country, saying to businesses across the country: 'we've just got to be, we've got to put up with being on the international market'," Sir Keir told ITV's Talking Politics podcast. "We need energy independence, and the only way to get energy independence is to go even more quickly to renewables because we're not going to get it on the international market." Tap here for the latest politics news The criticism of the US and Russian presidents came shortly before a phone call with Mr Trump, and Sir Keir was asked by broadcasters if he made that point directly to the US president. The prime minister replied that he "set out to him the views of the region here" and that any ceasefire has to involve Gulf countries if it is to hold. He continued: "They have very strong views on the Strait of Hormuz. We spent most of the time on the call talking about the practical plan that's going to be needed to get navigation through the strait and the role that the UK is playing." The prime minister pointed specifically to the UK's work convening over 40 countries to discuss how to reopen the crucial shipping route and ensure it remains open in the long term. However, he did not say if he told the US president that he is "fed up" of his actions affecting energy prices in Britain. 'We will respond with strength' Sir Keir's comments come as he concludes a three-day trip to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar to discuss the war in Iran, British assistance in defending those countries from missile and drone attacks, and how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He insisted the visit is "a big opportunity" for the UK to demonstrate leadership, and there is "a real desire" in the region to "work more closely with us on defence resilience, on economic resilience". "There's a sense here, as there is of the United Kingdom, that this conflict is going to define us for a generation, and we must respond and we will respond with strength," the prime minister added. UK will 'continue to make the case' for NATO He also responded to a social media post by Mr Trump yesterday, in which he wrote: "NATO WASN'T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON'T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN." Sir Keir said the alliance "is in America's interests" and "in European interests". "NATO is a defensive alliance which for decades has kept us much safer than we would otherwise have been. So we're strong supporters of NATO will always be strong supporters of NATO," he continued. "Do I think there should be a stronger European element to NATO? Yes. And I think we should step into that space. We're already doing it, which is why we're coordinating strategically with our partners in NATO." He added that NATO is "the single most-effective military alliance the world has ever known" and said he has been making the case for Europeans to do more "for the best part of two years". "We continue to make that case, and we will make that case," he concluded.

A year on from completing the career Grand Slam with play-off victory over Justin Rose, McIlroy continued his push for more major success with a brilliant round-of-the-day 65 on Friday afternoon. McIlroy broke the lowest 36-hole score by a defending champion as he moved to 12 under, the biggest halfway lead in the tournament's history, with the 36-year-old now firm favourite to join Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods as a back-to-back winner of The Masters. The Masters LIVE! Second round as it happenedThe Masters: Latest leaderboard from AugustaHow to watch The Masters: Key coverage timesGet Sky Sports or stream golf with no contract The defending champion birdied six of his last seven holes to charge clear of Sam Burns and former Masters winner Patrick Reed, while Rose and Shane Lowry posted second-round 69s to share fourth place with fellow Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood. Tyrrell Hatton charged into tied-seventh with a six-under 66, while Bryson DeChambeau - who played the final group last year and was among the pre-tournament favourites - missed the cut after triple-bogeying the final hole of his two-over 74. How McIlroy made more history at The Masters McIlroy held a share of the overnight lead after equalling the second-lowest round by a defending champion at The Masters, with the world No 2 quickly taking control of the tournament after firing three consecutive birdies from the second. The defending champion gave the chasing pack hope when he missed from six feet to save par at the fifth, failed to take advantage of the eighth - the only par-five he has failed to birdie this week - and then started his second nine with bogey. McIlroy briefly found himself level with Reed, who followed a first-nine 34 with a birdie at the par-three 12th, only for the Northern Irishman to reclaim the solo advantage and spark another birdie charge with a seven-foot birdie on the same iconic hole. He took advantage of the par-five 13th and 15th - just as he did on the opening day, with McIlroy firing a stunning tee shot to kick-in range at the par-three 16th to move four clear of the pack. Reed bogeyed the last to fall back to six under with Burns, who finished his one-under 71 with three birdies in his last five holes, with Fleetwood also on that score until closing his three-under 68 with a bogey. McIlroy recovered from an errant drive at the 17th to finish just short of the green, where a sensational 30-yard chip-in pulled him further ahead, before a closing eight-foot birdie signed off a memorable Friday in style.

Sentebale was founded by Harry in 2006 to help young people with HIV ‌and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, but he resigned as a patron in March 2025 after a public falling-out with the chair of the board, Sophie Chandauka. According to a record made public on Friday, Sentebale lodged a defamation claim last month at the High Court against Harry and Mark Dyer, who was ‌also a trustee of the charity. No documents are currently available in the claim, which was originally filed on 24 March. A spokesperson for Prince Harry and Mr Dyer said the pair "categorically reject these offensive and damaging claims", after the legal action was launched. Sentebale said it lodged a defamation claim following what it called a "co-ordinated adverse media campaign" which it said had damaged its reputation. In a statement, its board of trustees and executive director said: "The charity seeks the court's intervention, protection and restitution following a co-ordinated adverse media campaign conducted since March 25 2025 that has caused operational disruption and reputational harm to the charity, its leadership and its strategic partners. "The proceedings have been brought against Prince Harry and Mark Dyer, identified through evidence as the architects of that adverse media campaign, which has had significant viral impact and triggered an onslaught of cyber-bullying directed at the charity and its leadership. "Sentebale has experienced the adverse media campaign as false narratives circulated through the media about the charity and its leadership, attempts to undermine its relationships with staff, existing and prospective partners, and the forced diversion of leadership time and resources into managing a reputational crisis not of the charity's making." Harry co-founded the charity, alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, which was aimed at enhancing the lives of vulnerable children in the southern African country. The pair both stepped down last year in a dispute with chairperson Dr Chandauka. The initial rift emerged in 2023 after trustees began plans for a new fundraising strategy in the US. Read more from Sky News:Domestic abuser jailed after wife jumped to her deathMan arrested after four people died trying to cross English Channel The "serious dispute" was exacerbated by strategic and financial difficulties for the charity following the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report from The Charity Commission (CC). The CC criticised both sides for allowing the dispute to be played out in public. Commission CEO David Holdsworth said they enabled the rift to "harm the charity's reputation", which in turn jeopardised its "ability to deliver for the very beneficiaries it was created to serve".

Disability campaigner John Davidson, who has Tourette's, was heard shouting as Sinners stars Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented an award during the ceremony on 22 February. The incident was broadcast on the BBC with a two-hour time delay. The BAFTA board said an independent review into the incident identified "a number of structural weaknesses in Bafta's planning, escalation procedures and crisis co-ordination arrangements" for the awards. But it "did not find evidence of malicious intent on the part of those involved in delivering the event". In a statement it said: "We apologise unreservedly to the black community, for whom the racist language used carries real pain, brutality, and trauma, to the disability community, including people with Tourette Syndrome, for whom this incident has led to unfair judgment, stigma, and distress; and to all our members, guests at the ceremony and those watching at home. "What was supposed to be a moment of celebration was diminished and overshadowed. We have written to those directly impacted on the night to apologise. "The review is clear that while this was not a failure of intent, Bafta's planning and processes have not kept pace with its diversity and inclusion goals. "We did not adequately anticipate or fully prepare for the impact of such an incident in a live event environment and as a result our duty of care to everyone at the ceremony and watching at home fell short." The academy said work was underway to address the areas of improvement specified in the review, which was carried out by Rise Associates, to "reduce the risk of this happening again". Read more:The film fighting back against abuse and 'cheap laughs' at Tourette's expense It comes after an investigation found the BBC breached its own editorial standards when it broadcast the slur. An investigation by the BBC's executive complaints unit (ECU) found the inclusion of the slur was "highly offensive" and "had no editorial justification". However, it said broadcasting the slur was unintentional. It said the slur had been edited out of the version of coverage available on iPlayer when the event finished, but a delay of several hours was caused by "a lack of clarity among the team as to whether the N-word was audible on the recording". The delay was "a serious mistake," the ECU added, "because there could be no certainty that the word would be inaudible to all viewers". The report confirmed the BBC's chief content officer has sent letters of apology to Lindo, Jordan and Mr Davidson.

There will also be a review into how pornography sites verify the age and consent of people featured in their videos, which will look at ways to allow people to withdraw previously given consent, Sky News has learnt. The new measures mean the UK could have some of the strongest regulations of online pornography in the world, MPs told Sky News. The government initially did not support the changes, leading to threats of a rebellion from female MPs who had been demanding further safeguards in light of a review into online pornography by the Conservative peer Gabby Bertin. The review found online pornography was insufficiently regulated compared to offline, leading to an explosion of degrading, misogynistic and violent content. Baroness Bertin tabled several amendments, which were passed in the House of Lords last month, inflicting defeats on the government. This included a ban on pornography of adults pretending to be children, a ban on step incest pornography, the requirement for sites to verify age and consent and to allow people featuring in the videos to withdraw consent. The government had argued that some of these would be difficult to enforce, and relationships between adult step relatives were not illegal in real life. However, MPs told Sky News the government had "lost the plot" if they thought they would "go through the lobby voting to keep step incest porn". It paved the way for a potential showdown with the amendments due to be back in the Commons for debate next week, as part of the Crime and Policing Bill. Sources told Sky News there have been weeks of constructive discussions, with ministers said to have "heard the voice of parliament" and recognised "this was a political and moral issue". The government has pledged to halve violence against women and girls within a decade and campaigners see tackling harmful online content as crucial to that. Tracy Gilbert, the Labour MP for Edinburgh North and Leith, told Sky News the changes announced on Friday are a "victory for the survivors who have bravely called for these reforms" and "will help to meet" that commitment. What are the government's amendments? Measures announced by the Ministry of Justice on Friday include a ban on depictions of sex between step or foster relations where one person is pretending to be under 18, and depictions of any pornography where an adult is role-playing as a child. It will be illegal for anyone to possess or publish this type of content, with maximum prison sentences of between two and five years. The government had previously said it would ban depictions of incest in online pornography, while strangulation has already been banned. Another amendment will mean tech executives could be held personally liable if platforms fail to comply with Ofcom's enforcement decisions to remove people's intimate images that have been shared without consent. Separately, a list of amendments seen by Sky News shows the government will review how sites verify the age and consent of people featured in pornographic content. The review, to be completed within 12 months of the legislation passing, will look at how people who do give consent could have an exit mechanism, such as a break clause in their contract, it is understood. It was felt that a review was necessary to get this right, as it could include new rules around contract law and how that applies in the pornography industry. Read More:'Vile and dangerous' strangulation pornography to be banned Alongside the review, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Liz Kendall, will be granted regulatory powers to make changes to age verification and consent of people featured in videos, via the Online Safety Act (OSA). The OSA already requires sites to have robust age verification to prevent children from accessing the content. Emily Darlington, the Labour MP for Milton Keynes Central, told Sky News the new amendments "will protect women from abuse and be some of the most stringent online pornography amendments in the world". Jess Asato, the Labour MP for Lowestoft, said: "After many years of campaigning to ensure online pornographic content is subject to the same rules as offline content, I am delighted the government has announced these clear changes to our law. "Step-incest pornography and that which depicts performers as children is abhorrent. "Alongside banning strangulation in pornography which the government previously announced, tackling this vile content will make our country a safer place for women and children and shows the UK can lead the world in tackling violence against women and girls."

By winning seven of his 10 games since January and lifting United up to third in the Premier League, Carrick has made a return to the Champions League more likely than not. It would now come as a surprise if a top-five finish did not seal the deal. It is hard to nail down the characteristics required to be a success at United. They have gone down nearly every route. Jose Mourinho was the serial winner. Louis van Gaal was the experienced hand. Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim were the project managers. Transfer Centre LIVE! | Man Utd news & transfers🔴Man Utd fixtures & scores | FREE Man Utd PL highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Man Utd games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Carrick falls into the 'United DNA' camp. In other words, the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer camp, which brings its own baggage. Solskjaer's deficiencies were obvious, but he navigated the scrutiny at Old Trafford better than most. This is a trait Carrick appears to share. "There are parts of [what comes with being Manchester United manager] – and I am not being blasé when I say it – that I have known for so long," Carrick tells Sky Sports' Roman Kemp at United's training camp in Dublin. "The pressure is something I have lived with for a long time. "What's expected here, how to go about achieving things, the amount of support we have, and the scrutiny is something that becomes normal after a while. "It does not feel as big as it probably looks from the outside for me personally." As understated as a coach as he was a player, this is likely the closest Carrick will get to making a public pitch for the job. And it is a compelling one. There are many coaches with a better resume, but how many can claim to know how to manage that level of pressure? There are parallels with United's player recruitment problems. It does not matter your quality if the scrutiny is too much. There is no shortage of examples there. Harry Maguire, who has been through the mill at Old Trafford, is better placed than most to explain. "I see a lot of players come into this club and quite frankly it's just too big for them," the 33-year-old defender told journalists in Dublin. "The eyes on you, the scrutiny, the analysis. Every goal that goes in, it's someone's fault. There's going to be ex-players speaking about it. That's just part and parcel of playing for this club." This would only intensify for the person in the dugout. United are not rushing the decision over their next head coach and a final call is not expected to be made until the end of the season. Carrick is the only candidate that they have spoken to so far which can only be received as positive for his chances. 'It's no secret what we need next season' The head coach position remains up in the air, but decisions are being made about United's future and Carrick has been a part of that. Maguire has signed a new one-year contract. Casemiro has announced he will depart come the end of the season. Carrick says discussions are taking place about how United replace the Brazil international. "It is no secret what we need going into next season," he says, alluding to United's plans to sign at least one top midfielder this summer. It will be tough for United to plug the gap Casemiro vacates. The 34-year-old has enjoyed a renaissance in his final season at Old Trafford, scoring seven goals, and Carrick says the clarity over his future has helped Casemiro "make the most of what's left". Asked if he would like some clarity on his own future, Carrick says: "I understand the situation, and where we were at when we came back in January, the plan for the rest of the season and the possibilities in the summer. I don't think that's changed. "Things will get sorted when they get sorted. For me it's just about doing the best job that we can and plan for the future and the good of the club and the players in the squad. I am not coming to get through to the end of the season and deal with what's next. "I think it's important we make a plan and follow that through for the squad to get stronger. If I am part of it then I am part of it. If not, then that is the situation I walked into." 'Winning titles is where we want to be' If Carrick does get the job, the pressure would ramp up even more. United have set an ambitious goal of winning the Premier League by 2028, which gives them two summer transfer windows to build a squad capable of lifting the title. United have not done it since 2013 in Sir Alex's final season. The closest they have come was under Solskjaer, finishing second to Manchester City in 2020/21 by 14 points. The jury remains out on Carrick's credentials to take United back to those heights, but his appointment would raise the possibility of an Englishman winning the Premier League for the first time. "I'd love that to be the case," says Carrick. "At some point you'd like to think it would happen. For whatever reason it hasn't. Timing is important. "We had a manager here for quite a period of time who was definitely not English but hugely successful. If it got to the stage and that was me, that would be amazing. "That's got to be the goal at some point for this football club, to be back to winning league titles. It is where we want to be." Carrick has steadied the ship and knows the pressure being at United brings. But will that be enough for him to achieve what is required to truly be considered a success at Old Trafford if he gets the job long-term?
