The force, investigating a series of recent incidents in the Middlesbrough area, said a total of 24 people had now been arrested. It comes after reports emerged that several cars were set on fire at a vigil in neighbouring County Durham to remember 23-year-old Michael Cahill - one of five young men in a stolen car driving down the wrong side of the A66 on Saturday. The Volkswagen Passat collided with a police car, killing all seven, including PCs Tom Clough and Matthew Blades. In an update on their investigation in the area since that incident, Cleveland Police said that they had arrested four men on suspicion of criminal damage with intent to endanger life, arson and possession with intent to supply class A drugs. The force said all four - aged 35, 25, 40 and 21 - were in a vehicle when they were stopped by police on Kingsley Road in Grangetown at 10.30pm on Thursday. It added that the arson relates to a caravan that was set alight on Atlee Road on Wednesday, while the criminal damage with intent to endanger life relates to a vehicle crashing into a property at Steele Crescent. Three others arrested and £15,000 seized The force also said a further three - aged 23, 42 and 30 - had been arrested. The 23-year-old was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill. Officers added that the 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and possession of criminal property, while the 30-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession of criminal property. All three have been released on conditional bail, police said, adding officers also seized £15,000 in cash.

Other footage seemed to show burnt-out cars being moved from the field, 20 miles north of the crash site, by a tractor. Durham Constabulary said they were called to a private field soon after 5.30pm on Thursday, where five vehicles were wrecked as a large crowd gathered. The crowd's behaviour was condemned as "completely unacceptable" by officers who said it was deemed safest to let the vehicles burn out. Nobody was injured, and there were no arrests. Two arrested for murder after house fire Labour MP for Middlesbrough and Thornaby East Andy McDonald described the spate of violence in the Middlesbrough area as "terrorism". It comes as more than 200 extra officers have been drafted in to help Cleveland Police after multiple violent incidents across Middlesbrough. Meanwhile, two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder in relation to the house fire that killed Natalie McDonald, 34, and her niece Valentina Foster, and injured four others. A woman and a seven-year-old girl died in a house fire in Grangetown, near Middlesbrough, on Wednesday - just one mile away from where two police officers and five young men were killed in the head-on car crash on the A66 in South Bank early on Saturday. Police said on Friday afternoon that they are not linking the house fire with the A66 crash.

Cullen, who gave voice to Eeyore and Optimus Prime in numerous TV shows and films, died surrounded by his family. The Canadian actor also voiced the titular character in the 1987 Predator movie. A family statement issued by his agent read: "Peter Cullen passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family - and held in the hearts of his many friends and countless fans worldwide. "His family asks that you honour his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty and always remember, be strong enough to be gentle." Cullen first voiced Optimus Prime in the 1980s TV show The Transformers and its spin-off film The Transformers: The Movie (1986). He reprised the role in 2007 in the first live action film of the series directed by Michael Bay. He went on to appear as the shapeshifting truck robot in Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), Bumblebee (2018), and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023), as well as numerous other TV projects.

Alongside his more famous roles, the actor provided the voice of the title role in King Kong (1976) and King Kong Lives (1986), as well as voicing Grundle and Ahgg in My Little Pony: The Movie (1986). In 2023, he won the lifetime achievement award at the Children's and Family Emmy Awards.

A survey carried out by YouGov pollsters showed 50% favoured the measure. Only a minority (16%) of the 6,142 people surveyed on Wednesday opposed an embargo, while 34% did not know. While backing for a ban was strongest among Labour, Lib Dem and Green voters, the policy had cross-party support. The majority of surveyed Conservative and Reform voters said they "strongly support" a prohibition. About a third of the governing Labour party MPs (140) in June had signed a letter calling for an Israeli settlement trade ban. The government confirmed in July it was working towards a ban on imports and exports to illegal Israeli settlements. Both services and goods will be prohibited from flowing to and from the outposts, the trade minister at the time, Sir Chris Bryant, told MPs of the Business and Trade Committee. The policy will be announced in September, according to reporting in The Times and Middle East Eye. How would it work? Exactly how a ban is implemented is unclear but the current sanctions regime could be used, Sir Chris told the committee last month. Another difficulty arises from identifying where goods come from. "We all know perfectly well that it's very difficult to enforce [customs rules] because [Palestinian] territories and the settlement areas and, and the rest of Israel... goods travel in and out very easily, both heavy machinery and foodstuffs and so on," Sir Chris said. Also considered by the UK government, though ultimately rejected, was pausing its trade agreement with Israel. The Department for Business and Trade undertook an impact assessment on suspending the UK-Israel Trade Partnership Agreement, the 2019 post-Brexit continuity arrangement through which Israeli imports mostly enter the UK tariff-free. Attempts to access the impact assessment have been denied by the department, in part, on international relations grounds. "Disclosing the information would be likely to prejudice the UK's relationship with Israel," the department told Sky News. What are settlements? Israeli settlements, in areas like the West Bank, have long been opposed by the UK government, which believes them to be a breach of international law and a threat to a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. Settlements have rapidly expanded in recent years, with more planned by the Israeli government. Palestinians face increasing attacks and, in the past weeks, have had homes besieged. Creating settlements can involve confiscating land and displacing Palestinians, which is illegal under the Geneva Convention, as is the moving of Israeli civilians into territory Israel occupies. Israel disputes this, saying it cannot be classed as an occupying power, as no country owned the land before it took the territory in 1967, and it has not transferred its population to the territories; people move freely.

England's bowlers excelled with both the ball and the bat, as the hosts started the day with Josh Tongue (30no) and Gus Atkinson (45) at the crease. Scorecard: England vs Pakistan, second Test at Lord'sECB chair disappointed by England's off-field anticsWith alarm bells ringing, what's gone wrong for Pakistan cricket?Not got Sky? Latest Sky Sports deals or stream no contract The tailenders set the tone early, moving England to a first-innings score of 290, thanks to their 47-run stand, before the hosts' fiery bowling attack returned to the field to skittle Pakistan for 110 runs inside 37.2 overs. England's four-pronged pace attack of Robinson, Archer, Josh Tongue and Atkinson ran riot, producing a relentless and highly impressive hour of bowling before lunch, but were unlucky not to take more wickets, with Pakistan heading into the pavilion at 16-2. Back at his happy hunting ground of Lord's, Robinson, who took a haul of seven wickets here against New Zealand in June, was the pick of England's bowlers, taking impressive figures of 4-11. Archer, who showcased his phenomenal pace, took 3-26, while Tongue also impressed, removing both Abdullah Shafique (5) and Pakistan's captain Babar Azam (8) either side of lunch. Azan Awais top-scored for the visitors and proved difficult for England to remove, hitting 46 runs off 102 balls, before he was caught out at mid-on by Emilio Gay, off a Robinson bouncer. England returned to the field after tea, but lost wickets quickly, with Ben Duckett (1), Jordan Cox (11), and Joe Root (24) all falling inside 17 overs. Play was abandoned at 6.50pm due to bad light, with England 81-3 at stumps, and Gay (30no) and Harry Brook (7no) set to return to the crease on Saturday morning. Tongue and Atkinson excel with the bat Pakistan struggled to remove Tongue and Atkinson early on Friday morning, and it proved costly. While Atkinson saw little of the striker's end as Tongue nipped away doubles, singles and boundaries with authority, they combined nicely to move England's score on by 42 runs. Tongue was impressive with the bat, sweeping away four boundaries, and questions were again raised about Pakistan's field setting, with the England batter targeting the gap between their third slip and gully. At around 11am, Atkinson took strike and bludgeoned Ali Usman back down the ground for four. He tried again on the next ball, but was caught at long-off by Ali. Robinson and Archer shine at Lord's It had been anticipated that England's bowlers would deliver on the Lord's wicket, but on Friday, they exceeded expectations, producing an incredibly relentless hour-long spell of bowling before lunch. It took England four overs to take their first wicket, with Archer sending down a fiery delivery to Shan Masood (1), who edged behind to Smith. Smith, who had top-scored yesterday for England with a 61, found himself back in the action again soon after, with Tongue sending a jaffa down to Shafique, who also edged behind to leave Pakistan 2-16 after 14.1 overs. England began again after the break and continued with the same intensity, which culminated in Tongue taking the huge wicket of Pakistan captain Babar. Robinson once again worked his magic on the Lord's pitch and removed Saud Shakeel (16) lbw following a review. It was one of two decisions off Robinson's bowling that England successfully overturned, with the Sussex bowler trapping Mohammad Rizwan (7) lbw also after a brief rain break. As the clouds gathered over the Home of Cricket, Robinson and Archer took two more wickets apiece, with the latter skittling Usman (1), before Brook took an edge in the slips from Robinson to dismiss Khurram Shazad (1), after shelling Azan earlier in the day off an Atkinson delivery. Archer clattered another delivery into Mohammad Abbas' (2) stumps to wrap up Pakistan's innings, with Imam-ul-Haq unable to take to the bat due to a calf injury. England's top order out cheaply, as Gay battles back England's second innings got off to a poor start with Duckett clumsily driving Khurram to Babar at mid-off, before Cox also came up a cropper to the Pakistan bowler, being dismissed for lbw. There was more woe for England, who lost their captain for 24, as Ali replicated one of the epic deliveries he used to dismiss Brook on Thursday, jagging back into Root's front pad. While England held a commanding lead, it piled pressure on Brook and Gay, with the former overturning an lbw decision by the umpire, following a review on his first ball. Gay was hugely impressive at the crease, battling back the advances of Abbas and Ali to bring up a score of 30 off 69 deliveries, which included six boundaries, before play was suspended due to bad light.

Sussex Police said a 41-year-old man from Eastbourne died after the "large sign" fell at the Big Church Festival at Wiston Park near Steyning. Organisers said the festival had been brought "to a close" for this year after the tragedy. Attendees had previously been told that Friday's show had been cancelled in a post on Instagram shortly after 5.30pm. It's unclear whether tomorrow's performances will go ahead. In a public statement, Big Church Festival said: "Right now, our focus is on those directly affected by what happened today. We are heartbroken." Sussex Police said emergency services were called to the scene following reports a sign had fallen and injured a number of people at the site, "Police were called at around 3.38pm and remain at the scene, assisting other emergency services, at this time," a force spokesperson said. South East Coast Ambulance Service said: "Ambulance crews, critical care paramedics and specialist response teams are currently on scene with six patients confirmed so far. "We have no further information to share at this time but will provide updates as soon as possible." The event began on Friday and had been set to run until Sunday. In an earlier statement, the organisers said that their "thoughts and prayers are with those who have been directly impacted by the incident"."We understand this will be deeply disappointing for the thousands who have joined us at the festival," a Big Church Festival spokesperson said."We are working closely with the emergency services and relevant authorities. Further announcements will be made as more information becomes available."We are grateful for the understanding, patience, and prayers of our community at this time." Big Church Festival was founded in 2009 and, according to its website, is the UK's biggest Christian festival. According to the Met Office's UK weather map, wind speeds of up to 27mph were recorded in Shoreham, West Sussex, on Friday afternoon.

The global star of contemporary art was best known for her bold polka dot paintings, immersive "infinity room" installations and iconic red bob. She died on 14 August at a hospital in Tokyo, her studio said. No cause of death was given. Kusama was also well known for her pumpkins, which were a signature of her art from the 1940s onwards, and her infinity room mirrors. "She continued to paint until her final days, never setting aside her brush, and continued exploration of forever love and eternal soul," the studio's statement said. "We will carry forward Kusama's wishes and, through art, continue to bring hope and strength for the future to people around the world." Kusama's fixation with polka dots and repetitive motifs were inspired by hallucinations she said she had from childhood in Japan. She moved to New York to pursue art in 1957, where she became known for her anti-war performances in the late 1960s in which she adorned people's bodies with patterns. It was there that she befriended artists such as Andy Warhol, Georgia O'Keeffe and Joseph Cornell. Kusama was in and out of psychiatric institutions for decades, but she remained devoted to artwork that came to focus on her polka dot visions. "Polka dots are fabulous," Kusama said in a 2012 interview. "I want to create a thousand paintings, maybe two thousand paintings, as many as I can draw," she said in her childlike but matter-of-fact tone. "I will keep painting until I die."

In 2008, Christie's auctioned one of her early dot paintings for $5.8m (£4.27m). Kusama won the most prestigious award Japan gives its artists, the Order of Culture, in 2016.

The number of young care leavers dying has risen by around a quarter. In 2025, 112 care leavers aged 18 to 24 died. And the government's own review warns that the true number may be higher because councils simply lose contact with some young people after they leave care. Look beyond that headline figure, and the picture becomes even more troubling. Care leavers are estimated to be dying at three to four times the rate of other young people their age. More than a third of the deaths examined were believed to be suicides. Drug and alcohol misuse, homelessness, loneliness and serious mental health problems feature repeatedly. And one age stands out: 18. More care leavers died at 18 than at any other age examined by the review. This can be the moment the system around them changes dramatically. Take Joash McCullough. Joash was autistic and had ADHD. His parents had spent years trying to cope with increasingly complex behaviour and serious mental health crises. Eventually they made the agonising decision that he needed care they could no longer provide at home. At 14, he was moved around 200 miles away to a children's home. He would later move again. Then Joash turned 18 and entered the transition from children's services to the adult system. He died later that year on railway lines near to where he lived. An inquest has yet to fully examine the circumstances of his death, so no conclusions should be drawn about what happened to Joash. But his story helps explain why this government's findings matter. Read more from Nick Martin:Questions for council over deaths of teens Why experienced foster carers are quitting The problem is that very little in this review will come as a surprise to ministers. Even the review itself accepts that. Governments have known for years about the so-called "care cliff". They know there aren't enough foster carers. They know councils are spending huge sums placing children wherever they can find beds. They know the quality of children's homes and supported accommodation varies. And they know the transition between children's and adult mental health services can be brutally difficult. So identifying the problems is arguably the easy bit. Fixing them is much harder. Better children's homes require money and skilled staff. More foster placements require a serious recruitment and retention effort, something the government says it is trying to do. Better mental health provision requires capacity on both sides of the 18th birthday. The political question now is: what is government actually going to do differently? The age of 18 is now accepted to be a perilous point for young people in care. They are most at risk. Acknowledging the "care cliff" is no longer enough. The challenge for ministers is working out how to stop young people from falling off it.
