Four people appeared in court accused of murdering a newborn baby in Sheffield. The Green Party leader announced he wants to stand in the by-election for the former PM's seat. More than 80 people are feared dead after a boat adrift off the Canary Islands, and Kuwait reported intercepting an Iranian missile and drone attack.
The government named over 600 employers, including B&Q and Five Guys, for underpaying staff below the minimum wage. Reform UK's conference saw Richard Tice announce housing and planning policies. The UN weather agency warned of a supersized El Niño. The UK's first driverless robot taxis launched in London, with a safety driver present. A schoolboy was sentenced for stabbing a teacher, and a petition opposed renaming the National Memorial Arboretum. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch pledged to increase defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2030.
Hundreds of North Sea workers still exceed new weight limits for helicopter evacuations. Plastic pellets from a shipping crash continue to wash up on northeast beaches.

Charged quote Green Party leader Zack Polanski announces by-election bid

That will have to be approved by local Green members a week today.
