An independent review found autism and ADHD diagnoses in England are reaching a tipping point, with a risk of over-diagnosis if current trends continue. It said mental health problems had increased substantially, especially among children and young people, amid financial insecurity, unemployment and social media scrutiny. Demand for ADHD and autism diagnoses has risen sharply although the percentage of the population with those conditions appears broadly stable; experts said diagnosis has become a gateway to support and warned private assessments need better regulation. The review concluded the current system is failing people and needs radical reform, and the government promised a major overhaul.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was granted more than £300,000 in compensation after the lease on his former Royal Lodge home was formally surrendered. He moved out earlier this year and is living on the Sandringham estate; there were 50 years left on the lease, and he had paid £1.8 million for repairs. The Crown Estate said the lease had ended and it was focused on future use and financial value. Police are investigating him on suspicion of misconduct in public office during his time as a UK trade envoy; he denies wrongdoing. Labour held Sir Keir Starmer's former Holborn and St Pancras seat in a by-election, defeating the Greens, whose leader Zack Polanski came second and faced pressure over a Green Party conference motion equating Zionism with racism. Labour Party chair Bridget Phillipson called plans to live stream a US execution disturbing; former US Army major Nidal Hasan, who fatally shot 13 unarmed US soldiers at Fort Hood, is set to become the first person executed by firing squad by the US military since 1945. Navi Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize for efforts to promote peace and international law.
Manchester City's manager Enzo Maresca insisted the club's titles are not tainted after it was found guilty of breaking more than 100 Premier League financial rules, saying he trusts the club. The commission found that over nine years sham contracts gave City a huge advantage over rivals; City are unbeaten and top of the league, with an appeal and possible sanctions awaited. Sylvester Stallone, aged 80, has released a memoir discussing his troubled upbringing, his rise to stardom, his battles with fame and his role in Rocky and Rambo.
