After polls closed, the Liberals were projected to win more of parliament's 343 seats than the Conservative Party. However it was not immediately clear if they would win an outright majority or would need to rely on one or more smaller parties to form a government and pass legislation. In a victory speech in Ottawa, Mr Carney said: "President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us - that will never, ever happen." "We will fight back with everything we have to get the best deal for Canada." The Liberals looked to be heading for a crushing defeat until the US president started attacking Canada's economy and threatening its sovereignty, suggesting it should become the 51st state. Mr Trump's actions infuriated Canadians and stoked a surge in nationalism that helped the Liberals flip the election narrative and win a fourth-straight term in power. "We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons," Mr Carney said in his victory speech.

The Conservative Party's leader, Pierre Poilievre, hoped to make the election a referendum on former prime minister Justin Trudeau, whose popularity declined towards the end of his decade in power as food and housing prices rose. Mr Carney took over as prime minister after Mr Trudeau stepped down earlier this year. The election initially appeared to be a clear-cut race for the opposition Conservatives, who were enjoying a double-digit lead over the Liberals before Mr Trudeau resigned, and an intervention by Mr Trump led to a surge in support for Mr Carney's party. "America wants our land, our water, our resources [...]," he said after the result. "We must recognise the reality that our world has fundamentally changed." Mr Trump has repeatedly called for Canada to become the 51st US state since he was elected president for a second time and has imposed sweeping tariffs on Canada. Mr Carney has vowed to take a tougher approach with Washington over its tariffs and has said Canada will need to spend billions to reduce its reliance on the US. "We can give ourselves far more than the Americans can ever take away," said Mr Carney on election night. "The coming days and months will be challenging and will require some sacrifices but we will share those sacrifices by supporting our workers and our businesses." If Mr Carney's party only captures a minority of the House's 343 seats, he will be forced to negotiate with other parties in order to stay in power. Such minority governments rarely last longer than two-and-a-half years in Canada. Canadians went to the polls after 11 people were killed in a deadly attack at a Vancouver street fair over the weekend that led to the suspension of campaigning for several hours. Police have ruled out terrorism and said the suspect is a local man with a history of mental health issues. Mr Carney previously ran Canada's central bank and later became the first non-Briton to become governor of the Bank of England.

The independent report, sparked by the Huw Edwards scandal, was carried out by Change Associates, the same management consultancy that led a similar review in 2013, following the Jimmy Savile scandal. BBC chairman Samir Shah told staff ahead of the report's release on Monday morning: "There is a minority of people whose behaviour is simply not acceptable. And there are still places where powerful individuals - on and off screen - can abuse that power to make life for their colleagues unbearable." He said the report made recommendations to "prioritise action over procedural change", as well as addressing "deep-seated issues" including staff not feeling confident enough to speak up. Mr Shah added: "In the end, it's quite simple: if you are a person who is prepared to abuse power or punch down or behave badly, there is no place for you at the BBC." While the review, which heard from around 2,500 employees and freelancers from 19 different countries, found no evidence of a toxic culture within the corporation, some staff said there was "a minority of people at the BBC - both on and off-air - who were able to behave unacceptably without it being addressed". The report said: "Even though they are small in number, their behaviour creates large ripples which negatively impact the BBC's culture and external reputation." It said these people were "dotted across the organisation in different functions and departments", and were "often in positions where power could be abused". While no specific names were mentioned in the report, it did note "some names were mentioned several times". Some considered 'indispensable' One example of poor behaviour given included an "untouchable" presenter being "called out for exceptionally inappropriate language". It said that while "a report was made" and sanctions promised, a senior manager who was in the room at the time of the incident was "perceived as deferring so as not to rock the boat". It said a blind eye could be turned to poor behaviours "when productions were award-winning or attracting large audiences," with some "difficult" presenters subsequently "man-marked" by BBC managers. The report went on to warn that, "at its worst", the corporation "rewards" such individuals "by providing little or no consequence to their actions". It recognised that some of those displaying "unacceptable behaviour" were perceived as "indispensable" to the corporation, and that by moving "potentially vexatious issues" to formal grievance without appropriate due diligence, the BBC was "tolerating" the problem. It also said that by keeping those who formally raised an issue "in the dark about progress and outcomes," it was unfairly punishing them. 'Embarrassed and ashamed' The power imbalance between "talent" and "crew" was raised, with one report contributor saying: "The pay differential between a producer and a flagship programme presenter is huge. The actual and perceived value of the presenter to the BBC versus the value to the BBC of the producer. How empowered really is a producer to raise and address issues?" And while the report said many of the presenters they spoke to were "embarrassed and ashamed to be associated with people who feature in the press for their behavioural misdemeanours", it also noted the tendency to treat talent with kid gloves. One presenter said: "As the so-called talent, I'm aware that no one wants to upset me, people laugh at jokes, fuss around me, can't do enough for me - it is false and unnecessary, and I can see how over time, some would come to expect it." The BBC board has fully accepted the report and its findings, as has BBC management. BBC director-general Tim Davie called the report "an important moment for the BBC and the wider industry". He said the corporation would implement the recommendations "at pace", making sure that BBC values are "lived and championed by the whole organisation each and every day." Actions being taken include: • A strengthened code of conduct, with specific guidance for on-air presenters• A more robust disciplinary policy, with updated examples of misconduct and clear consequences• All TV production partners must meet Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA) industry standards• A new "Call It Out" campaign to promote positive behaviour, empower informal resolution and challenge poor conduct• Clear pledges for anyone raising concerns, setting out what they can expect from the BBC Further actions include succession planning for the most senior on-air roles, a new "resolving concerns helpline", more training for managers and clearer behaviour expectations for freelancers. A difficult year for the BBC The BBC has been under pressure to act after a string of complaints against some of its top talent over the last 12 months. In September, Edwards, who was the BBC's lead news presenter, pleaded guilty to three counts of "making" indecent images of children. He was given a six-month suspended jail sentence and will be on the sex offenders' register for seven years. Earlier this month, following a CPS review, Russell Brand was charged with rape and sexual assault. Brand, who worked for BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music between 2006 and 2008, denies all allegations against him and says all his sexual encounters were consensual. The BBC also apologised in January after a review found it "did not take adequate action" upon learning about concerns over former Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood following claims of "bullying and misogynistic behaviour". Westwood has denied the allegations. Other allegations of misconduct against BBC talent include accusations of a toxic environment on Strictly Come Dancing and the firing of The One Show presenter Jermaine Jenas after he admitted sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues. And late last year, Gregg Wallace stepped down from his presenting role on MasterChef after multiple historical allegations of misconduct. Wallace's lawyers have said it is "entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature". Wallace has since said he is seeking "space to heal".

Foreign nationals who are added to the sex offenders register will forfeit their rights to protection under the Refugee Convention, the Home Office announced. Politics latest: Tory-Reform coalition would be disaster, warns PM As part of the 1951 UN treaty, countries are allowed to refuse asylum to terrorists, war criminals and individuals convicted of a "particularly serious crime" - which is currently defined in UK law as an offence carrying a sentence of 12 months or more. The government now plans to extend that definition to include all individuals added to the Sex Offenders' Register, regardless of the length of sentence, in an amendment to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, which is currently going through parliament. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told Sky News the new definition would "take into account" sexual offence convictions in another country. However, she was less clear if those affected will still be able to appeal their removal from the UK under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). She said: "We continue to comply with international law, but the whole point is that our laws and our frameworks are about how we interpret international law, how we interpret whether it be different parts of international law, and how we make sure that the courts are then making their decisions based on the UK law that parliament has passed." She added the government is "reviewing" a "series of decisions" made in the courts where criminals have been allowed to stay in the UK under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act, which protects the right to respect for "your private life, your family life, your home and your correspondence". "We are reviewing that because we do believe that the way in which it's being interpreted in the courts is an issue and actually, there is greater clarification we can provide through our law to address that," she said. It is unclear how many asylum seekers will be affected by the change in law, as the government has been unable to provide any projections or past data on the number of asylum seekers added to the Sex Offenders' Register. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: "Sex offenders who pose a risk to the community should not be allowed to benefit from refugee protections in the UK. "We are strengthening the law to ensure these appalling crimes are taken seriously." Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls Minister Jess Philips said: "We are determined to achieve our mission of halving violence against women and girls in a decade. "That's exactly why we are taking action to ensure there are robust safeguards across the system, including by clamping down on foreign criminals who commit heinous crimes like sex offences." Read more:PM 'doesn't want to see strike action'Former Streeting aide avoids jail after exposing himself The Home Office would like voters to see this as a substantial change. But that's hard to demonstrate without providing any indication of the scale of the problem it seeks to solve. Clearly, the government does not want to fan the flames of resentment towards asylum seekers by implying large numbers have been committing sex crimes. But amid rising voter frustration about the government's grip on the issue, and under pressure from Reform - this measure is about signalling it is prepared to take tough action. Conservatives: 'Too little, too late' The Conservatives claim Labour are engaged in "pre-election posturing". Chris Philp MP, the shadow home secretary, said: "This is too little, too late from a Labour government that has scrapped our deterrent and overseen the worst year ever for small boat crossings - with a record 10,000 people crossing this year already. "Foreign criminals pose a danger to British citizens and must be removed, but so often this is frustrated by spurious legal claims based on human rights claims, not asylum claims." The Home Office has also announced plans to introduce a 24-week target for appeal hearings (known as "first-tier tribunals") to be held for rejected asylum seekers living in taxpayer-supported accommodation, or for foreign national offenders. The current average wait is 50 weeks. The idea is to cut the asylum backlog and save taxpayers money - Labour have committed to end the use of asylum hotels by the end of this parliament. It's unclear how exactly this will be achieved, although a number of additional court days have already been announced. The government also plans to crack down on fake immigration lawyers who advise migrants on how to lodge fraudulent asylum claims, with the Immigration Advice Authority given new powers to issue fines of up to £15,000.

The schoolboy, who was signed up in the last auction at just 13, was making his third appearance in the world's premier T20 franchise tournament having memorably hit the first ball of his debut for six. Opening the batting with India star Yashasvi Jaiswal, he confirmed his potential by smashing a sensational 101 from 38 deliveries and hitting the second-fastest century in the competition's history. Who is 14-year-old history-maker Vaibhav Suryavanshi?Scorecard: Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat TitansNot got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with NOW Only West Indian great Chris Gayle has a quicker IPL ton to his name, with Suryavanshi motoring past the likes of Yusuf Pathan (37), David Miller (38), Travis Head (39) and England's Will Jacks (41). Suryavanshi blazed 11 sixes and seven fours against a pedigree attack featuring former world number one bowler Rashid Khan of Afghanistan and established India internationals Mohammed Siraj, Ishant Sharma, Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna. He reached three figures by launching the mystery spin of Khan all the way over the midwicket boundary and was dismissed three balls later by Krishna, his place in the history books already secure. Jaiswal hugged the youngster as he left the field, as did incoming batter Nitish Rana, and there was an admirable show of respect from the Gujarat fielders, many of whom shook his hand as he took in the applause. "The young man will leave the park to a standing ovation," former India captain Ravi Shastri said on commentary. "It's been such an innings." 'Dream' IPL century for fearless Suryavanshi "It feels really good. It was my first century in the IPL in my third innings," Suryavanshi said. "What I've been practicing for the last three-four months, the result is showing. "It is like a dream, to score a century in the IPL. "No, no fear. I'm not thinking about all that, I am just focusing on playing." Suryavanshi's batting partner Jaiswal, who saw out Rajasthan's victory with 70 runs from 40 balls, was full of praise for the teenage sensation. "He has batted an incredible innings, one of the best I have seen," Jaiswal said. "He was incredible today. "He played absolutely amazing shots, you can see he's worked really hard in the nets. He has the game, he has the temperament and mentality, I wish him all the luck to do well." Who is Vaibhav Suryavanshi? Suryavanshi became the youngest player bought in an IPL auction after being selected by Rajasthan Royals for £105,000. His selection came just weeks after he smashed a 58-ball hundred for India U19s against Australia U19s in an unofficial Test in Chennai. He has since hit U19 half-centuries against Sri Lanka and UAE, as well as 71 off 42 balls for Bihar against Broda in India's domestic 50-over competition. Being born in 2011, he also created another record by becoming the first IPL cricketer born after the tournament began in 2008. The previous youngest IPL debutant was Prayas Rai Burman, who featured in 2019 at 16 years and 154 days for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Meanwhile, Afghanistan's Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the youngest international cricketer in the IPL, debuting at 17 in 2018 for Punjab Kings.

The polls had long shown that he was the finance man trusted to take the fight to the nemesis next door. Canadians confirmed it. He had been belligerent in his dealings with President Trump and he carried it on to the victory stage when he addressed supporters inside an Ottawa ice arena. He spoke of a "hinge moment of history", "American betrayal" and said "President Trump is trying to break us so he can own us". It was "Canada strong" rhetoric that was threaded through his election campaign and reflects a new politics moulded by the new president across the border. In winning this election, Carney is the political rookie who has pulled off an astonishing political comeback. His Liberal Party was 25 points behind in the polls - turning that round signifies the biggest reversal in modern politics. Carney's liberals, once written off, have now written history. Carney, 60, is the former banker with crisis management on his CV. He was the Bank of England governor through Brexit, having led the Bank of Canada through the 2008 crash. He invoked the experience on the campaign trail, pitching his expertise in discussion and dispute with Donald Trump. Carney demonstrated political acumen in framing Trump as an existential threat to Canada, simultaneously talking up the US president as the danger and himself as the antidote. He sensed, and seized, the national mood. His political skills would be tested further in leading a minority government. Read more:Who is Mark Carney?The world and America have changed irreversibly under Trump It's nothing new to the Canadian parliament, nor to his Liberal Party, but it presents the grinding challenge of politics in the raw and will test Carney's personality and instinct, not necessarily taught in the texts that propelled him to high finance and fortune. It is the looming domestic challenge, however, overshadowed by the pressing matter of foreign policy and the "existential" threat from Donald Trump. Winning the election was a political challenge that mattered to Mark Carney. To Canada, the next one matters more.

Footage of the group at a November 2023 gig appears to show one member saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." Sir David was killed at a constituency surgery in 2021. Labour MP Ms Cox was fatally shot and stabbed in June 2016. Speaking to the UK Tonight With Sarah-Jane Mee, Sir David's daughter Katie Amess said: "I'm more than happy to sit down and speak with them. I'm sure they've never met a victim of such a heinous crime, and so they're not thinking it through. "If they were to meet with me and to see and to hear the pain and the torture and the torment that I go through every day, I'm sure they would feel terribly guilty. "And I'm sure that they would apologise, because if not, what kind of people are they?" Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has demanded the prosecution of the rap trio Kneecap after the video emerged. Downing Street has described the alleged comments as "completely unacceptable". Police are investigating - and are also assessing footage reportedly from a gig a year later in London's Kentish Town Forum. In the November 2024 video, a member of the band appears to shout "up Hamas, up Hezbollah" - referencing groups which are banned as terrorist organisations in the UK. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We were made aware of a video on 22 April, believed to be from an event in November 2024, and it has been referred to the counter-terrorism internet referral unit for assessment and to determine whether any further police investigation may be required. "We have also been made aware of another video believed to be from an event in November 2023." Mrs Badenoch said it was "good" the police were looking into the allegations, adding: "Kneecap's glorification of terrorism and anti-British hatred has no place in our society. "Now footage shows one of them saying: 'The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP'. "After the murder of Sir David Amess, this demands prosecution." Ms Amess also welcomed the investigation. She told Sky News: "I wake up every day with the knowledge that I will never see my father again. "He will never meet my children. He wasn't able to be at my wedding. There's nothing funny about this. "This is serious, and the government and the police need to take it seriously and to nip this in the bud and stop this kind of rhetoric being tolerated." Kneecap, made up of Liam Og O Hannaidh, Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh, have said they are facing a "co-ordinated smear campaign" after speaking out about "the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people". In a statement, Kneecap said: "Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history. "We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action." The band added: "To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt. "Kneecap's message has always been - and remains - one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs." Read more from Sky News:UK temperatures could hit 29C this weekM&S tells agency staff to stay at home Mrs Badenoch and Kneecap are already known to each other. The Tory leader blocked a government grant to the bilingual Belfast group while she was business secretary. But last November, Kneecap won a discrimination challenge over the decision to refuse them a £14,250 funding award after the UK government conceded it was "unlawful". Downing Street condemned the alleged comments. "We do not think individuals expressing those views should be receiving government funding," the prime minister's official spokesman said. Asked if the money should be returned, the spokesman added: "That's up to the group, but clearly the PM rejects the views expressed ... does not shy away from condemning them."

Analysis of previous Home Office numbers and footage of people arriving today show the number of people crossing the Channel continuing to rise. The issue has become a lodestone for political parties across the spectrum, with Rishi Sunak's pledge to "Stop The Boats" falling well short. Politics latest: PM warns of Tory-Reform pact 'disaster' Sir Keir Starmer promised to clear the backlog of asylum applications and "Smash The Gangs" of people smugglers upstream, but critics say he has failed to do this almost a year into his stint in Number Ten. Reform's Nigel Farage has made the issue key to his party's pitch to voters. The 10,000 figure is understood to have been passed on 28 April. Official figures only go until 27 April at the time of writing, with 9,885 people detected crossing the Channel by the UK government at this point This compares to 7,167 by the same date in 2024, 5,745 in 2023, 5,352 in 2022, and 1,796 in 2021. Data only started to get collected in 2018, and for the first three years fewer than 1,000 people were observed crossing the Channel before 28 April. Fine weather conditions are known to lead to an increase in people crossing the Channel, with some efforts earlier this year stymied by heavy winds. Sir Keir scrapped the Conservative's Rwanda deportation plan when entering office. In March, the prime minister said his government had "returned" 24,000 people who had no right to be in the UK. Read more:Why more people cross on the weekend?Gusty conditions halt small boat crossingsStarmer: 24,000 people returned Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said: "Britain's borders are being torn apart under Labour. This year is already the worst on record for small boat crossings after over 10,000 illegal immigrants arrived in Britain, but Labour just sit on their hands. "Labour scrapped our deterrent before it even started, flung open the door to extremists and criminals, and handed the bill to hardworking taxpayers. "Under new Conservative leadership, we are serious about tackling this crisis with deliverable reforms, but Labour continue to block these at every turn. Labour's open-door chaos is a betrayal of the British people, and we will not let them get away with it." Mr Philp was part of previous Conservative governments, which also failed to reduce crossings. Speaking to broadcasters, Mr Farage said: "If this carries on at this rate, by the end of this Labour government another quarter of a million people will have come into this country, many of whom frankly don't fit our culture or cost us a fortune." He claimed that Reform is "the only party" saying that "unless you deport those that come illegally, they will just continue to come". 👉Listen to Politics at Sam and Anne's on your podcast app👈 A Home Office spokesperson said: "We all want to end dangerous small boat crossings, which threaten lives and undermine our border security. "The people-smuggling gangs do not care if the vulnerable people they exploit live or die, as long as they pay and we will stop at nothing to dismantle their business models and bring them to justice. "That is why this government has put together a serious plan to take down these networks at every stage. "Through international intelligence sharing under our Border Security Command, enhanced enforcement operations in Northern France and tougher legislation in the Border Security and Asylum Bill, we are strengthening international partnerships and boosting our ability to identify, disrupt, and dismantle criminal gangs whilst strengthening the security of our borders."

Eubank Jr was taken to The Royal London as a precautionary measure and initial tests have come back clear, but he is likely to remain in hospital until Monday. His father, Chris Eubank Snr, has been at his bedside, along with other members of his family. Promoter Ben Shalom confirmed Eubank Jr is "doing well" as he continues to be monitored by medical staff and ruled out reports that the fighter suffered a broken jaw. Chris Eubank Jr defeats Conor Benn in thrilling battleFather's presence inspires Eubank Jr in win over BennBenn wants rematch with Eubank Jr "I'm pleased to confirm that Chris is doing well and currently resting," said Shalom. "There is no truth to the rumours regarding a broken jaw. "As part of his standard post-fight protocol, Chris is at the hospital for precautionary checks to monitor his vitals and ensure everything is in order. "They take these measures very seriously, given everything they have experienced in the past. This process is something they now prioritise after every fight. "Chris and Conor gave absolutely everything in what was the biggest legacy fight of all time. With their fathers standing proudly behind them, it was a moment that will forever be stamped in sporting history." Benn's hospital visit 'a precautionary measure' It has been revealed Benn was also taken to hospital after the fight. The 28-year-old is said to have ended up two beds down from Eubank Jr at the Royal London Hospital with their fathers, Nigel and Chris Senior, sitting together in the hospital. Matchroom Boxing said Benn's was fine and that his visit to hospital was a precautionary post-fight measure. Speaking after his unanimous decision victory, Eubank Jr admitted he was surprised by Benn's spirited performance following a gruelling 12-round battle. "I knew I was capable of that. I just needed someone to bring it out of me," said Eubank Jr, who suffered a cut over his right eye following a clash of heads in the ninth round. "I didn't expect Conor to be the guy to do that. I didn't know he had that in him, I thought I would break him early. "I underestimated him, I didn't prepare for a fight like that. "The fact our fathers fought years ago brought out a different spirit and I am happy to have my father with me." Eubank Snr made a dramatic arrival earlier in the evening and also reflected on a physically demanding fight for his son. "He couldn't move around the ring, he had to stand toe to toe and that is legendary behaviour in the ring. I am so proud of him. "Conor is an extraordinary fighter and you saw that. "I am so proud of my son."
