Illegal immigrant Eugeniu Neamtu, 59, was sentenced at the Old Bailey to a minimum of 27 years over the "strikingly similar" murder. The construction worker stabbed his flatmate to death in Walthamstow, east London, on 20 February. Neamtu knifed fellow Romanian Gheorghe Trica, 63, in the heart over what the judge called the "exceptionally trivial fact" the victim had asked to be repaid £5. It was almost identical to a 2006 killing in which he stabbed his housemate to death in a drunken row over money. Neamtu served time in a Romanian prison but travelled to Britain in September 2023. He did not declare his conviction or intention to work and was therefore in the country illegally at the time of his second killing. Judge Richard Marks KC said the double-murderer had shown "no remorse" and his previous conviction was an "extremely aggravating factor". The judge told Neamtu: "The fact you killed another person within three years of your release underlines how dangerous an individual you are." Mr Trica was murdered after both men shouted insults over the disputed £5 in the flat they shared with six other Romanians. The trial heard the victim was found in a pool of blood after collapsing on the communal balcony and died at the scene despite the efforts of police and paramedics. Neamtu was seen throwing something over the balcony and a steak knife was later recovered from the garden. The killer told a 999 operator: "There was an incident here and a person is injured. There was an altercation, a man was cut, and I am the perpetrator." He later said he had acted in defence and wanted to "scare" Mr Trica, claiming he threatened to kill him, pushed him down the stairs and made throat-slitting gestures.

He again claimed self defence, saying he picked up the knife because he was afraid. Neamtu denied the 2026 murder but declined to give evidence and was helped by an interpreter in court. The jury found him guilty after three hours of deliberations but were not told his first victim had died until after the verdict. A Home Office spokesperson said: "The perpetrator has now been rightly convicted and justice has been delivered by the courts. Once sentencing has taken place, we will seek to deport him off British soil."

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

The document tells people arriving in the UK after fleeing other countries that women are allowed to "earn their own money" and "make their own decisions about their lives". Politics latest: Deporatations hit 10-year high Men appear to be the primary target for the instructions, although there are also resources for asylum seekers who think they may be victims of illegal behaviour. The guidance states that people are expected to not make sexual remarks about someone "even if you think it is a compliment", whistle or make "kissing sounds" at someone, follow someone or "block their path", make rude or offensive gestures, or "verbally abuse someone because of their gender, religion, or how they look". The guidance warns throughout that breaking the law can lead to trouble with law enforcement, lead to someone losing accommodation or support, and could affect an asylum claim. People are warned it's a serious crime to take or share sexual images without someone's consent. As well as the guidebook, a series of posters have been designed by the Home Office to inform asylum seekers. The guidance was published in a nine-page document titled "Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: A guide for asylum seekers". Sections include gender equality, domestic abuse, sex and consent, and respect in public – as well as getting help and living in the UK. Some 101,000 people claimed asylum in the year ending December 2025, 4% less than the previous year, with around 46,000 detected arrivals coming to Britain via illegal routes, such as small boats. Illegal migration and the visible issue of people crossing the Channel in small boats are policy areas the government is determined to look tough on, and these documents are understood to be part of a plan to ensure not knowing the law is not an excuse for illegal actions. It has also been focused on by parties like the Conservatives and Reform UK, and there have been a series of high-profile criminal cases involving asylum seekers. Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp said: "Instead of trying to train these mainly young, male illegal immigrants to behave in a civilised way towards women, they should be deported." In a video posted on X, Reform home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf described the guidance as a "disgrace". Read more:Asylum seekers jailed for rape on Brighton beachAsylum seeker jailed for abducting and raping 12-year-oldAsylum seeker jailed for seven years for raping woman Examples of the guidance in the document include a section stating that "everyone in the UK is expected to treat men and women equally" – and "even if you are a family member, like a husband, father or brother", you must never do things like stop a woman working or studying, control what she wears or where she goes, or make decisions for her without her agreement. Domestic abuse is defined in the guidance as physical violence, threats, controlling behaviour, emotional abuse and taking away someone's documents. Asylum seekers are told they are expected to treat family and their partners with respect, let them make their own choices, and never physically or verbally abuse or control them. The sex and consent page explains that both people must consent to sex without threat or pressure, someone can change their mind at any time even if they agreed previously, and someone "asleep, drunk, or unable to respond" cannot consent. It adds: "Consent is needed in every situation. This means even if you are married or in a relationship with someone, they must consent to sex every time." The chapter says that people are expected to never use "threat, force or pressure" to make someone have sex, never try to have sex with someone who is asleep, drunk or unable to consent clearly, and to stop if someone says no or changes their mind. It is mentioned that anyone under the age of 16 is considered a child and therefore legally cannot consent to having sex. How to behave in public is also covered, with asylum seekers "told that people have different beliefs, religions, cultures, relationships and ways of life", and they must "treat others with respect, even if you disagree with their beliefs or how they live". Tap to never miss an episode: Follow Cheat Sheet here Support numbers for victims are provided at the bottom of each section and in a chapter at the end of the document. A Home Office spokesperson said: "We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws. If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK."

Spurs have agreed an £85m deal for Savinho, which will see them pay an initial £75m for the Brazil international, with a further £10m available in add-ons. It is understood that £5m of the potential bonuses are effectively guaranteed, meaning City could receive at least £80m from the deal. Transfer Centre LIVE! | Tottenham news & transfers⚪Spurs fixtures & scores | FREE Spurs highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Premier League games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Latest Sky Sports deals or stream PL games with no contract📺 The 22-year-old is scheduled to have a medical with Tottenham on Friday afternoon. Spurs are also very close to agreeing a deal for City forward Marmoush, with advanced negotiations ongoing and progressing in the right direction. It is understood the Egypt international is on board with the move to north London. Tottenham have already spent more than £200m on six first-team players this summer. They spent £185m on two midfielders, Sandro Tonali and Matheus Fernandes, from Newcastle and West Ham respectively. Jan Paul van Hecke joined from Brighton for £52m to replace Cristian Romero. Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka all arrived on free transfers. Meanwhile, Savinho's potential sale would be a club record for Man City, surpassing Julian Alvarez's £82m move to Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2024. Savinho, who has played a bit-part role since joining Manchester City in 2024, started only seven of his 24 Premier League appearances last season, in which he scored once and set up two goals. How are Spurs spending so much money? At the start of the transfer window, Sky Sports News' Michael Bridge explained how Spurs are able to spend big this summer... "We're told there are absolutely no concerns about falling foul of the Premier League's financial rules. "The club is in great financial health after qualifying for Europe in 18 of the last 20 seasons. The revenue driven by the stadium is huge: boxing, concerts, NFL games - you name it. "In fact, in the Deloitte Money League, the rankings show that Tottenham Hotspur have leapfrogged Chelsea to become the ninth richest club in the world with annual revenues of £549.2m. "On top of that, Spurs are one of the clubs to benefit most from the Premier League's shift to squad cost ratio from PSR, which has just come into effect. But the reason we're seeing Spurs spend so much is a shift in strategy under new leadership. "Daniel Levy left at the start of last season, and there's a real desire to spend the money to dine at the very top table. "Now the new leadership and the owners promised fans, after avoiding relegation on the final day, that they would spend the club's revenue on the first team, and they are delivering on that." Maresca: Savinho wanted to leave from day one Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca has admitted that Savinho had made it clear all summer that he wanted to leave the Etihad. Maresca prepares for a first season in charge of City following the departure of Pep Guardiola, who oversaw the club's most successful period over nine years. In preparation, Maresca has seen the likes of Ballon d'Or and World Cup-winning midfielder Rodri join Barcelona, while an agreement is in place to see Savinho move to Tottenham, with Omar Marmoush also linked to the north London club. Asked whether he tried to convince Rodri to stay, Maresca said: "It is quite clear when the player wants to leave, then it is complicated to convince them to stay. "It happened with Rodri and the same thing is happening with Savinho. "Since day one, he has asked me that he wants to leave. So now we are waiting. But it's complicated. "When the player is thinking that they need a new challenge, or they want to change because they probably want to go back to Spain, or they want to play more minutes or for a different reason. It becomes complicated then to convince them to stay." 'City will want to replace Savinho and Marmoush' Sky Sports News' Ben Ransom: "Both players [Savinho and Marmoush] are essentially surplus to requirements at Manchester City. It's been pretty apparent through the summer. Enzo Maresca has said that in the case of both players, they are very much entitled to stay and fight for their first-team place. "But equally he understands, a bit like James Trafford, when a player wants to play first-team football and they're not guaranteed the starting shirt, then the club, if they receive an offer that's acceptable, will not stand in their way. That applies to both players. "City would need to replace these players. They would definitely, I'd say, have to replace one. They would like to and would aim to replace two. "But the transfer window is closing in less than a fortnight. These are big positions to fill so late in the window."

Police were called to Brinell School in the city of Fagersta, northwest of the capital, Stockholm, on Friday. The suspect has been arrested and is being held in custody, authorities said. Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported a suspect carrying a machete had been shot in the leg by police before being detained. "We received an alarm at 1406 (1.06pm UK time) about suspected deadly violence and sent all available resources to the school," ⁠a police spokesperson told Reuters. The spokesperson said one person at the scene ​was ⁠later taken into custody and that ‌there was no longer any danger to the public. Expressen newspaper reported the suspect was an 18-year-old former student, and that police has since raided his home. Several other schools and ‌public buildings in Fagersta were also placed in lockdown after the sword attack took place.Pelle Vamstad, a police spokesman, told the TT news agency that authorities would be looking into whether camera footage could be used in the preliminary investigation. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, in an online post, lamented a "serious incident" in Fagersta which had happened "right after the summer break." "There are reports of injured people. We do not yet know what lies behind the act, but we know that the police are working very intensively," he added. "Our thoughts are with all those affected."

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

Mr Miliband summoned Israel's charge d'affaires - the country's top diplomat in the UK - on Wednesday to set out the UK's "profound objection" to Israel publishing a tender for the construction of about 1,200 homes, as part of the E1 programme of "expansion". He called it an "unacceptable and destructive act" and said the UK would not "stand back and accept the destruction of the two-state solution", as he demanded "an immediate reversal". Politics latest: Follow live The foreign secretary said the UK had been clear, both publicly and privately, about its opposition to the project, which he said "cut across the heart of Palestine and risks separating the West Bank from East Jerusalem". This sparked a fiery statement from Israeli foreign minister, Gideon Sa'ar, who said he rejected "outright the statement of the UK foreign secretary and the patronising tone of his words". He said the right of Jewish people to live in the area in question was recognised over a century ago through the Balfour Declaration and likened their right to live in the disputed territory to British people's right to live in London. Read more:UK cinemas could ban AI glassesTravelodge boss quits "The UK government's systematic policy of blaming only Israel while ignoring Palestinian extremism has already contributed to a massive wave of antisemitic hatred and attacks against the British Jewish community," he said. "The UK government's decision to damage the relationship between our countries is deeply unfortunate. But Israel will not be a passive victim of this policy. "Israel will defend its rights, its interests and its people." Mr Miliband added that the UK will set out a "comprehensive set of measures" in the coming weeks in response to Israeli government policies to protect the viability of the Palestinian state, which the Starmer government formally recognised last September. Plans to build on the E1 area have been mooted for decades and have long been internationally condemned, with settlements deemed illegal under international law. While successive Israeli governments have held off due to international pressure, Benjamin Netanyahu's government gave the green light for construction a year ago to "erase" the idea of a Palestinian state. The total number of housing units approved by the Israeli government last August sits at 3,401, with a tender put out for the first 1,234 on Tuesday.

"It's a proud moment for me and my family to play for one of the best teams in the world," Konsa said after Arsenal announced the move. "I want to keep winning, hungry to win and that's what I'm here for. I'm here to win. I'll do everything in my power to continue bringing success to this club." The England international has signed a four-year contract with the option of an additional 12 months after passing his medical. He joins for a fixed fee of £51m with a potential £4m in add-ons. The 28-year-old could now make his Arsenal debut against his old club at Villa Park in the Monday Night Football on August 31, live on Sky Sports. Transfer Centre LIVE! | Arsenal news & transfers🔴⚪Arsenal fixtures & scores | FREE Arsenal highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Premier League games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Latest Sky Sports deals or stream PL games with no contract📺 Konsa has become Arsenal's fifth major summer signing after Piero Hincapie joined permanently from Bayer Leverkusen and the arrivals of Illan Meslier, Christos Tzolis and Bruno Guimaraes. Konsa's arrival comes after the Premier League champions were looking for a new defender with William Saliba out for an extended period of time, while Jurrien Timber remains sidelined with a long-term groin problem. Villa had initially held out for £60m, with Arsenal hoping to pay much less, but the two clubs found a compromise on Thursday to strike a deal for the former Brentford defender. Arsenal also looked into a potential move for Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah but have chosen to sign his England team-mate Konsa. Both players have a similar profile and can play at right-back and centre-back. Konsa: I love defending! Arteta joins a host of Arsenal defenders including Saliba, Timber, Gabriel, Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera. Asked what he will bring to Mikel Arteta's "Defending. I know he loves defenders who can really defend and defenders who are calm on the ball. His style suits me so I can't wait to get going. Meanwhile, Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta, said: "Ezri is a defender of high quality, whose athleticism, composure and tactical intelligence have established him as one of the Premier League's most consistent performers. "Being comfortable in both central defence and at right-back, Ezri will bring valuable versatility to our squad while maintaining the high defensive standards which are fundamental to our challenge of winning major trophies. "We are welcoming a player with proven Premier League and international experience, and strong leadership qualities, who will adapt seamlessly to our style of play. "Just as importantly, we are welcoming a player with the character and mentality to make an immediate impact within our club. We welcome Ezri and his family to Arsenal." Analysis: Konsa is a perfect Arteta player - here's why Sky Sports' Sam Blitz: If there's one thing you need to know about Mikel Arteta, it's that he loves players that win duels. Nobody was better at it than Ezri Konsa last season. He won more duels on the ground than any other Premier League player last season - finishing quite some distance ahead of his nearest challengers Virgil van Dijk and Gabriel - his new team-mate. With both Saliba and Timber out injured, Arsenal were in need of a player who can cover both right-back and centre-back roles. The Gunners do have Cristhian Mosquera and Ben White as cover in those roles - and both performed well in the Community Shield win over Manchester City - but the latter has a lengthy injury record over the last two seasons. Arsenal also saw the importance of having good depth at right-back when Mosquera was forced to start the Champions League final with PSG out of position - with the young Spaniard conceding a penalty. Now a move for Konsa has been completed, Arsenal have filled an important part of their team - and would be very close to completing their transfer window from an incomings point of view. Can they find the forward player they have been looking for?
