But instead of showcasing her singing, it shows a man approaching her repeatedly, coming closer and closer. He reaches out and touches her - wiping something wet on her arm. "At first I thought it was coffee," she says. "But when I watched the video back - you can hear him saying 'that's my pee'. My jaw dropped. I was horrified." It's hard to believe what she's showing me, but she says this kind of behaviour is "unfortunately standard for a woman doing this kind of work". She has many more videos - of men touching her without her consent, or demanding hugs or kisses for the money they've given. "I've gotten a lot better at dealing with it," she says. "When I was 21, 22, when I first started doing this, I would go home in tears. "It's just so degrading. It makes you feel objectified. Like - is that all you think of me?" Sarah Everard's murder in 2021 caused outrage across the country. There was an outpouring of anger as women shared their stories of feeling unsafe, threatened and sexualised on the streets. At the time there were promises - assurances to women that things would have to change. But four years on, many women here in Merseyside say they have the same feelings they did then. "Men are honestly shocked when we tell them 'we don't feel safe'," says Kate Chadwick, from the Wirral charity Tomorrow's Women. "Pretty much every woman has had some kind of experience." I meet her at a regular lunch club they host - at their building where men are not allowed inside. It's intended as a safe space for their members, who they are helping through everything from domestic violence to sexual assault. There's a medical clinic here, beauty treatment rooms, a computer lab - all staffed by women. Kate shows me the pocket rape alarm they give out to the women who come here. She hopes they never have to use it, but "it makes them feel safer just having it". "As a woman, in the winter it's a hard time just to exist," Kate says. "Women don't feel safe coming out of their homes. Routines will change. They don't want to walk in certain places. "One of our members gets two buses home because it's safer than waiting at a dark bus stop to just get the one." They are about to launch a photography exhibition around stalking and harassment. For this, they gave their members a camera and asked them to submit photos that show their experience being a woman. There are several photos of dimly lit streets, bus stops with no one else there. One photo is a fist holding a key through the knuckles - an image most women will recognise. Another picture is of an outfit laid out on the floor - a T-shirt, denim skirt and tights. It's titled What Were They Wearing? "This can often be the first question in a sexual assault case," Kate says. "It really doesn't matter what the woman was wearing." "It's definitely not getting better," she says. "In 2024, violence against women and girls was declared a national emergency. The statistics you read every day are shocking." Later that evening, back in Liverpool, we meet Girls on the Go - a running club started with the express purpose of allowing women to exercise safely in the winter. It's 5.15pm when we meet for the run, and already dark. The women running here list a collection of similar experiences. They have been catcalled, yelled at from cars, even chased while out running alone. Run leader Madeline Cole tells me that, as a women-only club, they have had to modify their warm-ups because "as soon as you bend over to touch your toes, or go into a squat, the shouting starts". Founder Steph Barney says she started the club because it is still "intimidating running alone as woman". "Far too many women experience harassment and catcalling - we wanted to create a group where women would feel safer doing it together" she says. "Even in the summer you get sexualised just for wearing shorts. You have to restrict what you do. None of my male friends have ever had to worry about that." I ask if anything would help them feel safer when out on their runs. "Better street lighting is a really obvious one," she says. "And one of the issues is that it's still not taken seriously by society. When you're catcalled, it feels embarrassing to say 'this is scary'. "If it was taken more seriously - more women would speak out. And more could be done."

Age UK spoke to more than 2,600 people and found 11% will eat dinner alone on 25 December, while 5% will not see or speak to anyone the whole day. Applied to the overall population, the findings suggest 1.5 million people will eat alone at Christmas, according to the charity. Dame Joanna said the "silence can be deafening" for those left isolated and called it "a crisis hidden in plain sight". The actor and campaigner is now joining other luminaries including Dame Judi Dench, Brian Cox and Miriam Margolyes to back Age UK's campaign against loneliness. The charity says its volunteers made more than 70,000 minutes' worth of calls to people during Christmas week last year and is urging people to donate. 'A tragedy we don't talk about enough' Age UK said it also supports coffee mornings and festive lunches to give lonely people the chance to enjoy in-person interaction. Dame Judi said: "For so many older people, Christmas can be a time of silence - days without conversation or company." Succession star Brian Cox called the issue "a tragedy we don't talk about enough". He said: "Far too many older people are left spending the season in silence, when it should be a time of warmth, connection and joy." Margolyes, of Harry Potter fame, added: "Growing older shouldn't mean disappearing into the background, we need to be seen, heard and celebrated. "That's what Age UK is striving for - they're changing how we perceive age."

"From friendly, weekly calls to local lunch clubs, we're here to make sure no one spends winter alone. But we can't do it without you."

During a speech at the Guildhall in London, the prime minister said "wild promises" made to the British people ahead of the referendum have been unfulfilled. "How it was sold and delivered was simply wrong," he added. "We are still dealing with the consequences today." Sir Keir argued it would be "utterly reckless" to consider Brexit as a template for future foreign policy - and attacked politicians who have a "corrosive, inward-looking attitude". He singled out Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, who have both called for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights - and Zack Polanski, who wants to leave NATO. Such attitudes "offer grievance rather than hope", the PM said - accusing them of having "a declinist vision of a lesser Britain, not a Great Britain". Although Sir Keir opposed Brexit when in Opposition, he stressed that the vote to leave "was a fair, democratic expression, and I will always respect that". He told the Lady Mayor's Banquet that Labour has made "a decisive move to face outward again and build our power, both hard and soft, which had been so damaged and neglected". 'Protecting our security is non-negotiable' Elsewhere in the speech, the prime minister warned the UK needs a policy towards China that recognises the national security threat it poses. He said: "For years we have blown hot and cold. We had the 'Golden Age', which then flipped to an 'Ice Age'. We reject that binary choice. "So our response will not be driven by fear, nor softened by illusion. It will be grounded in strength, clarity and sober realism." China has been a major issue in Westminster of late following accusations of spying in parliament, and controversy over the new "super embassy" that Beijing wants to build in central London. However, Sir Keir defended plans to visit China in the new year - and said an absence of engagement with the world's second-biggest economy would be "staggering" and a "dereliction of duty". He described it as "a nation of immense scale, ambition, and ingenuity" and a "defining force in technology, trade and global governance". 'Huge' opportunities for businesses Setting out his own approach, Sir Keir explained: "This is not a question of balancing economic and security considerations. We don't trade off security in one area, for a bit more economic access somewhere else. "Protecting our security is non-negotiable - our first duty. But by taking tough steps to keep us secure, we enable ourselves to cooperate in other areas." The PM added that he wants to give businesses "the confidence, clarity, and support" to win opportunities in China. "In areas like financial and professional services, creative industries, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods and more - Great British success stories - the export opportunities are huge, and we will back you to seize them," he said. 'Starmer continues to kowtow to China' Sky News understands the prime minister is set to approve plans for a controversial Chinese "super embassy" in central London. A final decision on the planning application for the former Royal Mint site near the Tower of London is due on 10 December after repeated delays. Concerns were previously raised after Beijing's planning application featured blacked-out areas. Since he was elected last year, Sir Keir has been active on the world stage, trumpeting deals with the US, India, and the EU and leading the "coalition of the willing" in support of Ukraine. But he has also faced criticism from his opponents, who accuse him of spending too much time out of the UK attending international summits rather than focusing on domestic issues. Read more:MI5 spying warning aims to send signal to China'Many options' on table for Venezuela Responding to the prime minister's speech, shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel said: "From China's continued flouting of economic rules to transnational repression of Hong Kongers in Britain, Starmer's 'reset' with Beijing is a naive one-way street, which puts Britain at risk while Beijing gets everything it wants. "Starmer continues to kowtow to China and is captivated by half-baked promises of trade. "Coming just days after the latest Chinese plot to interfere in our democracy was exposed, his love letter to the Chinese Communist Party is a desperate ploy to generate economic growth following his budget of lies and is completely ill-judged. "While China poses a clear threat to Britain, China continues to back Iran and Russia, and plots to undermine our institutions. Keir Starmer has become Beijing's useful idiot in Britain."

Norris failed to take his first opportunity to seal a maiden drivers' title at the Qatar Grand Prix as he finished third in the Sprint and fourth in the full-length race at the Lusail International Circuit. The upshot was that Norris lost ground on each of his two remaining rivals for the title and goes into the final round 12 points ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, with his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri four points further back.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Norris said after Sunday's race: "There's nothing I can do about it. Obviously, not our greatest day, not our greatest weekend. "But I've had... I don't know if anyone saw the run of results I had before that were great. "I've put myself in this position, I'm still happy. It wasn't our finest day, it wasn't my finest weekend in terms of driving and putting things together, but that's life. "Everyone has bad weekends so I take it on the chin, we all take it on the chin, and we'll see what we can do next weekend." Norris had put together a superb run of performances - including back-to-back wins in Mexico City and Sao Paulo - that had put him on the brink of sealing the title. However, he lost a second-place finish when both McLarens were disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix after post-race checks showed they had exceeded plank-wear limits. Then in Qatar, Norris potentially lost positions as a result of McLaren choosing not to pit both of their cars under an early Safety Car. Although Norris accepted the strategy call didn't necessarily harm him overall as it also cost his team-mate Piastri, who had begun the race as his nearest challenger, a likely victory. Asked whether McLaren should have pitted him under the Safety Car, Norris said: "Probably, yeah, but both of us should have done, so I would have been had over either way, because we would have double-stacked and potentially I would have lost time - a bit of time, I mean, I probably wouldn't have lost a position, I don't think. "It's something we'll go and talk about and review, but I also have to have faith that the team are making the right call, and that's what I had to do." The Brit also made a couple of errors of his own during the Qatar Sprint weekend, failing to maximise his performance in both qualifying sessions and being overtaken by Verstappen at the start of the race. Norris insists that the spectre of Verstappen, who is seeking a fifth successive drivers' title, challenging him for the title in Abu Dhabi won't alter his approach. "It's the same as every weekend," he added. "I try and beat them, they try and beat me. It's nothing different."

The Independent Office for Police Misconduct (IOPC) has been investigating South Yorkshire Police since 2012. It is the largest independent investigation into alleged police misconduct and criminality ever carried out in England and Wales. Hillsborough remains to this day the worst disaster in British sporting history. How did we get here? A crush on the terraces during the FA Cup semi-final at the stadium in Sheffield resulted in the death of 97 Liverpool fans - men, women, and children aged from 10 to 67. Even as fans lay dying, police were claiming that Liverpool supporters, arriving in large numbers late, drunk and without tickets, caused the disaster. But after decades of campaigning, that narrative was debunked. In April 2016, new inquests - held after the original verdicts of accidental death were quashed in 2012 - determined that those who died had been unlawfully killed. The IOPC told victims' families in March that no officers would face misconduct proceedings because legislation in place at the time did not require police to have a duty of candour. Dozens of allegations of misconduct against officers had been upheld, it said, but none would face disciplinary proceedings because they had all left the police service. What has this probe looked at? The IOPC investigation focused on amendments made in accounts of officers who were present at Hillsborough and allegations that misleading information was passed by the police to the media, MPs, parliament, and the inquiries set up immediately after the disaster. It has also been looking into the role of West Midlands Police, which led the investigation into the disaster, and allegations that family members and campaigners were subject to surveillance by the police. The IOPC has already confirmed that its investigation "aligned" with the findings of the Hillsborough Independent Panel investigation and the 2016 inquests. It said: "We found no evidence to support police accounts to the media, the Taylor Inquiry and both sets of inquests, which suggested that the behaviour of supporters caused or in any way contributed to the disaster." Read more from Sky News:PM emotional talking about HillsboroughLong-awaited Hillsborough Law introducedOfficer cleared of gross negligence manslaughter In September, the government introduced the so-called Hillsborough Law to the House of Commons. The legislation will include a duty of candour, forcing public officials to act with honesty and integrity at all times or face criminal sanctions.

But now, the public have spoken and settled the matter once and for all: Die Hard is not a Christmas film. That's according to 44% of those who responded to a new poll by the British Board of Film Classification, anyway. They narrowly outnumbered the 38% who argued that the Bruce Willis blockbuster is festive - with another 5% declaring it's their favourite Christmas movie of them all. A further 17%, who presumably have been embroiled in this debate before and want a quiet life, said they were unsure. Willis himself waded into the row back in 2018, when he declared during a comedy roast: "Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. It's a goddamn Bruce Willis movie!" He has also found an ally in Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin, who was booed by an audience after sharing his opinion last month. "It's just a movie set at Christmas," he said. "If you set it at St Patrick's Day, the exact same movie. But you set Home Alone at St Patrick's Day…" Culkin kind of has a point there. What's the Christmas number one? Thankfully, other questions in the BBFC's poll weren't as divisive - with respondents asked to crown their favourite Christmas film of all time. Incidentally, Home Alone came out on top with 20% of the vote. That's streets ahead of Love Actually, which was in second place on 9%. (If Alan Rickman had been nicer to Emma Thompson, it would have easily won.) It's A Wonderful Life was third and chosen by 8%, with Elf fourth on 7%. Read more offbeat news:Runaway reindeer sparks emergency rescue operationOxford Dictionary publisher reveals Word of the Year The research also revealed that 43% believe it's acceptable to start watching Christmas movies from the beginning of December - with 13% turning on their favourite festive films from the start of November. Meanwhile, 8% admitted enjoying Christmas movies all year round… presumably when they're home alone.

Some 37% told a YouGov-Sky News poll that Ms Reeves made out things were worse than they really are. This is much higher than the 18% who said she was broadly honest, and the 13% who said things were better than she presented. This comes in an in-depth look at the public reaction to the budget by YouGov, which suggests widespread disenchantment in the performance of the chancellor. Just 8% think the budget will leave the country as a whole better off, while 2% think it will leave them and their family better off. Some 52% think the country will be worse off because of the budget, and 50% think they and their family will be worse off. This suggests the prime minister and chancellor will struggle to sell last week's set-piece as one that helps with the cost of living. Some 20% think the budget worried too much about help for older people and didn't have enough for younger people, while 23% think the reverse. The poll found 57% think the chancellor broke Labour's election promises, while 13% think she did not and 30% are not sure. Some 54% said the budget was unfair, including 16% of Labour voters. And it arguably gets worse… This comes as the latest Sky News-Times-YouGov poll showed Labour and the Tories are now neck and neck among voters. The two parties are tied on 19% each, behind Reform UK on 26%. The Greens are on 16%, while the Liberal Democrats are on 14%. This is broadly consistent with last week, suggesting the budget has not had a dramatic impact on people's views. However, the verdict on Labour's economic competence has declined further post-budget. Asked who they would trust with the economy, Labour are now on 10% - lower than Liz Truss, who oversaw the 2022 mini-budget, and also lower than Jeremy Corbyn in the 2019 election. The Tories come top of the list of parties trusted on the economy on 17%, with Reform UK second on 13%, Greens on 8% and Lib Dems on 5%. Nearly half, 47%, don't know or say none of them. Only 57% of current Labour voters say the party would do the best job at managing the economy, falling to 25% among those who voted Labour in the 2024 election. Some 63% of voters think Ms Reeves is doing a bad job, including 20% of current Labour voters, while just 11% of all voters think she is doing a good job. A higher proportion - 69% - think Sir Keir Starmer is doing a bad job.

The Ukrainian has broken his silence about his next career move, confirming that he wants to put his WBC, WBA and IBF belts on the line against Wilder. Usyk has been absent from the ring since his stoppage of Daniel Dubois in their July rematch, but the two-time undisputed world heavyweight champion is now targeting the American, who had a lengthy reign as the WBC champion. Whittaker obliterates Gavazi with first-round stoppageTKV claims British heavyweight title with brutal points win over ClarkeNot got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW Speaking at the WBC convention in Thailand, Usyk told Boxing King Media: "I want to fight Deontay Wilder. I think it's interesting. "This is a world champion guy, this is a very famous guy, this is a strong guy. "He is one of the great heavyweights of the last 10 years." Wilder, who returned to the ring with a seventh-round stoppage of Tyrrell Anthony Herndon in June, would be open to a fight against Usyk. "Usyk is a great champion," Wilder's co-manager Shelly Finkel told Sky Sports. "We have plans for next year and we'd like Oleksandr Usyk to be part of them. "If we receive the right offer, we would be open to that fight." The Alabama fighter could receive the chance to become a world champion again, a decade after he dethroned Bermane Stiverne to become WBC champion in January 2015. Usyk became the undisputed world heavyweight champion for a second time after he halted Dubois in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium. The unbeaten 38-year-old vacated the WBO belt last week and Britain's Fabio Wardley was elevated as the new WBO champion. But Usyk has vowed to unify all four major titles again in the future, telling the WBC convention: "Some people are saying I'm not undisputed champion anymore. Well, that is only temporary."
