The final report into Lucy Letby's crimes is due to be published later, examining how the former neonatal nurse killed seven babies and attempted to kill seven more at the Countess of Chester Hospital. The inquiry heard from doctors and managers who apologised, and its publication had been delayed. The report follows a long timeline of arrests, trials, and convictions, including 14 whole life orders and a retrial.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have moved their children to a new school after just two days due to security concerns, citing practicalities of the school run and a convoy incident. Meanwhile, nearly 100,000 people have fled fighting in Yemen, with the Houthis seizing coastal locations, and Sky News had exclusive access to a Sudanese navy vessel on Red Sea patrol. The government is also preparing a 'war book' for a major conflict, with plans to be ready by year's end.
At the Emmy Awards, Matthew Rhys set a record with two lead acting wins, Jean Smart won an Emmy for every season of her show, and Taylor Swift cameoed in a sketch. Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran's tour after a pro-Palestinian speech, and the village of Piddington held a symbolic referendum on leaving the UK over an asylum centre plan. Other news included new police powers over balaclavas in Nottingham, a union proposal for public service contracts, and rules allowing digital ID for pubs.

Oh wow, isn't it cool when it does that? It's actually my ringtone. And one of the loudest cheers of the night going to Michael J Fox recognized for his contributions to Parkinson's disease research.

Vince Gilligan, Pluribus. And another for its creator Vince Gilligan who used the show's themes to deliver a message. There is nothing weirder than our current reality.

just reading you the statement that Macklemore himself has put out in response to that. I've got that here. He said I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth.
