Police said Noah was at the playground in Merriam Close, Brantham, Suffolk, at 3pm on Tuesday and is reported to have run off down an alleyway nearby towards a new-build housing estate. He is described as white, with curly ginger hair and wearing a white Bluey T-shirt, shorts and white trainers. On Tuesday night, Suffolk Police confirmed the three-year-old is non-verbal, has partial hearing loss and has been undergoing an assessment for autism. Residents in the area have been asked to check their gardens, sheds and outbuildings. The force added that efforts to locate Noah were continuing through the night and an appeal to the public was being renewed. Emergency services are conducting the search, with the coastguard among the agencies taking part. HM Coastguard said in a statement: "HM Coastguard assisted Suffolk Constabulary with an incident at Brantham by sending an HM Coastguard helicopter and Coastguard Rescue Teams from Felixstowe and Holbrook." Brantham Leisure Centre urged people living nearby to carry out checks, saying on Facebook: "We have no updates confirming the safe return of Noah. We urge you all to check your gardens, neighbours gardens and behind bins/cars."

Irish musician Aaron Rowe, Danish band Lukas Graham and Billie Eilish's brother and musical collaborator, Finneas, announced late on Tuesday that they were pulling out of Sheeran's The Loop tour. The collective withdrawal came after Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, claimed he had been taken off the British star's tour after he made pro-Palestinian comments during a show in New Jersey. Sheeran's backing band, Irish folk group Beoga, also announced they were pulling out. Lukas Graham and Rowe had been due to open for Sheeran at his next concert in Philadelphia on Saturday. Rowe said: "I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children. I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal." A statement on the Lukas Graham Instagram said: "Money doesn't give you the right to own the conversation. Nobody's bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we're allowed to acknowledge." Citing the "silencing of Macklemore", Beoga said: "We are a traditional Irish band who never saw ourselves playing in stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on us." Finneas said: "Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed". 'I am not complicit' Earlier on Tuesday, Sheeran said he was "appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine" and described the "suffering and pain caused on both sides" as a human tragedy in a lengthy Instagram statement. "I am not complicit," he said. "I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care." Sheeran said his audiences often include children and young people "from all backgrounds", which is why he does not use the stage for politics. The statement also said the decision to remove Macklemore from the tour came from the promoter and was not his own. Sheeran said "venues for upcoming concert dates got in touch to say they would pull the gigs if Macklemore was still involved", adding he was told this stance was based "on how Macklemore conveyed part of his message... rather than on everything that was said". Macklemore told the crowd he wanted people in Gaza and the West Bank to know they had not been forgotten, which led to a petition demanding he be removed from the remaining dates. Pink criticised the Thrift Shop artist for standing in "front of a stadium full of music-loving families, with violent images from a war on the screens, dedicated a song to the movement of his choice, and then took the mic to tell all of the Jews in the stadium that it wasn't about them". She added: "You don't get to decide that for us." After posting a video of himself on stage during the concert, Macklemore said on social media that "wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial". His announcement that he had been taken off Sheeran's tour received public support from artists including Kneecap, CMAT and Paloma Faith. 'I would never let down fans' Sheeran said he had spoken with the venues "all week to try and build a bridge" but the "venue's and promoter's decision was final". One of these people was Robert Kraft, whose Kraft Group owns Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, where Sheeran is due to play later in September, the statement said. "I was also involved in direct talks with promoters along with activists on both sides to try and find a mutual resolution for all, but the venue's and promoter's decision was final," Sheeran said. "Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine. Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, not me." The singer said he would "never let down the fans who had made plans, nor would I abandon the touring crew and the other support acts and musicians who rely on me for work and to make a living". He said he had always sought to "bring people from all backgrounds and cultures together and this won't ever change". Sheeran said: "There is a reason I do not use my professional platform for politics - my audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds. Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum." He said he respected Macklemore's "strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes" but that "there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace". In a statement provided to NBC News, Sky News' US partner network, Mr Kraft said the decision on his venues was reached following Macklemore's comments and "a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery that we believe has been deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community". He said: "This decision is not about diminishing the suffering of innocent Palestinians or denying anyone the right to advocate on their behalf. Their pain and loss are real." Macklemore's advocacy "should not come at the expense of the Jewish community or obscure the responsibility of Hamas", Mr Kraft added.

Wandsworth Council is set to increase council tax for a Band D property by £958 - a 94% rise - from April 2027, in response to what it describes as the "financial pressure" of government reforms. The south London borough previously had one of the lowest council tax rates in Britain. However, following the publication of what it calls a "comprehensive" spending review, the Conservative administration says the government's Fair Funding reforms will reduce Wandsworth's funding by £84m a year. Check how much your council tax is set to rise The authority claims the reduction is equivalent to its combined total annual spend on parks, libraries, leisure centres, bin collection and street cleaning. It says that new spending reforms will place "significant additional pressure on essential local services and means the council must make tough choices". 'Savage cuts' Council leader Robert Morritt, who took over the role in July, admitted that increasing council tax was not a decision he "ever wanted us to have to make", but said the announcement was being made now to ensure "local people have the maximum amount of time to adjust". He blamed the increase on "savage cuts from central government" and "a dramatic reduction" in the council's level of reserves. Commenting on the outcomes of the spending review, Mr Morritt said the council was "setting out a clear plan to protect the services residents rely on while tackling the financial challenges facing the council". He said that "difficult decisions" had been taken in a bid to help ensure that services "remain sustainable into the future". Mr Morritt added: "There are difficult choices in this report, but there are also clear priorities: cleaner streets, safer communities, stronger housing services, support for vulnerable residents and action to put the council back on a sustainable financial footing." Read more from Sky News:Baby wards to get 'cot cams' after Letby inquirySupport artists pull out of Ed Sheeran tour Peter Graham, deputy leader of Wandsworth Council and cabinet member for finance, said: "We promised that we'd be honest with residents. "Council tax will need to rise unless government thinks again. And it must think again. "We do not want to do this, and we do not take this decision lightly, but the scale of the financial pressure facing Wandsworth means additional income is now needed to protect the services people rely on." Mr Graham insisted that the council was "fighting" for a "fairer deal", and that Wandsworth should not be "punished" for "running efficient services and keeping council tax low". He added: "Our message to residents is clear: we are on your side, we are making your case, and we will keep fighting for the funding Wandsworth deserves."

Webb says he is "really disappointed" by the decision to award the goal, which was initially ruled out on the field due to Haaland being flagged offside. VAR then checked the incident and determined the striker was onside but failed to account for Enzo Fernandez impacting play from an offside position. Haaland's goal was a mistake - but why did it happen?Premier League fixtures & scores | FREE PL highlights▶️Got Sky? Watch Premier League games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Latest Sky Sports deals or stream PL games with no contract📺 Fernandez dived for the ball before it was steered home by Haaland, and despite severely hindering Lisandro Martinez and Senne Lammens, Fernandez's offside position was overlooked once the VAR officials had confirmed he had not touched the ball - even though a player can be offside without touching the ball. Webb told Mic'd Up: "The on-field decision was not against Fernandez; it was against Haaland. When the VAR starts their check, they see that Haaland is actually onside by three centimetres. "The VAR gets super focused on Haaland. He establishes he is onside but when he runs it through the full APP (attacking possession phase), he doesn't truly evaluate the full impact of Fernandez. "In that moment, he gets tunnel vision but it is down to the rest of his team to pull him out of that tunnel but unfortunately, that did not happen on this occasion. "This goal should have been disallowed." What the officials said... Assistant VAR: Enzo, Enzo. VAR: Possible offside. Assistant VAR: I'm going to go offside, Haaland. Referee: On-field decision is offside. VAR: Checking the on-field decision of offside against Haaland. He's tight. He's onside, so now we need to check the full attacking possession phase (APP). Haaland's in an onside position, but I need to check the full APP. Go back to see if [Iliman] Ndiaye is onside when it is flicked. Yes. Go, go, go, so it should be a goal. No touch there [from Enzo Fernandez], confirm no touch. Clear gap. It's not a touch there is it? Goal. Michael, confirming that you need to change your decision to goal. Haaland is in an onside position. Final decision is goal; check complete. Webb: VAR had 'tunnel vision' on Haaland and missed Enzo offside Pro Ref chief operating officer Howard Webb: "We felt it was important that we acknowledged an error in the situation. We know that Erling Haaland was penalised for offside and wasn't in an offside position. "We also know that Enzo Fernandez, who was in an offside position, almost certainly interfered with the Manchester United defence and probably the goalkeeper. "I was really disappointed with this outcome; we all were. None more than the officials. They take personal pride in what they do and they are hurting now after falling short in this situation. They will not be officiating until after the international break. "We have reached out to Manchester United and acknowledged the error, as we do when these things happen and they do not happen often. We want to ensure we are transparent and open. "We have played the audio and footage to the club to let them know what happened. We will review the situation to understand what elements of the process fell down in this situation which meant we didn't get to the right outcome. "Fernandez doesn't actually touch the ball, so he has not committed what we would call a factual offside offence of interfering with play. "But you can still be penalised even if you do not touch the ball. In this situation, as the ball comes across, we see Fernandez dive towards the ball and he gets close to it. "That impacts [Lisandro] Martinez; he cannot come and clear the ball. It probably impacts [Senne] Lammens as well, he cannot dive in the way he would or sets himself for potential contact from Fernandez. "It is impacting the defence in a couple of ways as a result of the actions he makes in the offside position." Analysis: If VAR can't get the easy ones right, why are we using it at all? Sky Sports' Laura Hunter: Pro Ref should not get a pardon for simply admitting their mistake on this one. A full-scale review into how is what they owe the players and clubs involved given it determined the outcome of the game. "VAR also deemed that while in an offside position, Enzo Fernandez didn't play the ball," is what the Premier League's match centre posted on X in real time. The offside rule appears to have been forgotten here, or at least the full extent of it. VAR do confirm "no touch" by Fernandez, but fail to recognise he is live in the move. That element is not subjective. The Man City midfielder clearly impacts both Lisandro Martinez and Senne Lammens and yet neither are mentioned. Nor does Michael Oliver question it. Does he communicate with the linesman to determine who was actually flagged offside? Was it Fernandez, Haaland or both? A chronological check of the incident with the correct laws applied would have simply finished with Fernandez. Instead, the video officials spent nearly three minutes presiding over a goal that most casual observers could determine should not have stood with just one replay. There are no excuses for such a catastrophic failing, but it's probably worth labouring the point that, if forensic technology cannot stamp out even the most basic of officiating mistakes, should we be using it at all? 'No one is hurting more than VAR officials - they're human' Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol: "I do have an element of sympathy for the VAR and his assistant - they made a mistake. A lot of football fans, particularly Man Utd supporters, will feel it is an unforgivable mistake. "If you are a VAR and officiating a game as big as the Manchester derby, you really should not be making mistakes of this magnitude. "But having said that, human beings are human beings. No one is hurting more than the VAR and his assistant. I imagine they've had sleepless nights over this and are replaying what happened over and over again for weeks and months to come. "Human beings make mistakes and on this occasion, two human beings made a really big mistake which I'm sure they're going to regret for a long time."

The victims on board the NewsChopper 4 helicopter were identified by NBC Los Angeles as Eliana Moreno, an aerial photojournalist, and pilot George Marciniw. The other person killed was in the car park where the aircraft crashed, Captain Branden Silverman, a spokesman for the LA Fire Department, told reporters during a news conference. Two people were taken to a hospital, said Rico A. Gross, a fire department battalion chief. No detail about their conditions was released. Capt Silverman said the incident occurred just before 7pm local time (3am UK time) on the 9100-block of North Mason Avenue in Chatsworth. The helicopter crashed into a car park near a storage building, causing a fire to break out, the fire department said. At least four cars and two storage containers burned after the aircraft caught fire, which was quickly put out, according to officials. The cause of the crash is not yet known. One person killed in the crash was outside in the car park, next to the commercial building, Capt Silverman told reporters. The incident occurred after an earlier crash on Nordhoff Street - about a mile-and-a-half (1.6km) away - at 5.03pm local time involving an SUV and a bus in which two people were killed and six others were injured. The helicopter was one of many aircraft covering the crash, NBC Los Angeles reported earlier. "We knew it was a news chopper, we knew we'd lost contact with our people out there, and we've just received the confirmation that, in fact, NewsChopper 4 went down just before 7 o'clock tonight in Chatsworth," anchor Colleen Williams said. "We're going to take a couple of minutes to think about that, to process and to regroup," Ms Williams added, her voice at times shaking with emotion. The aircraft was operated by Angel City Air, a helicopter company, and affiliated with the station, which said earlier on the air that it had lost contact with those on board. Ms Moreno joined the company's helicopter team in 2010 after graduating, NBC Los Angeles reported. More than 70 firefighters responded to the helicopter crash, according to the fire department. Capt Silverman described the helicopter as "pretty well destroyed" and said emergency teams were going to have to search through the rubble to determine how many victims were on board. The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation into the cause of the incident.

Ms Bass paid tribute to the emergency teams who "responded so quickly" and urged the public to stay away from the area while officials remained on the scene. Governor Gavin Newsom thanked the emergency crews responding to both incidents and said in a post on X that "our hearts are with the victims and families".

​Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said on Tuesday his office has chosen not to seek the death penalty against Nick Reiner. Nick Reiner, 33, pleaded not guilty to the alleged murder of his father and mother in the family's home in the affluent suburb of Brentwood. The bodies of Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found at their home on 14 December. Nick Reiner was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman said outside a central Los Angeles courthouse that ​prosecutors took into account the wishes of the surviving Reiner family members in reaching their decision not to seek the death penalty. The maximum penalty prosecutors said they would ‌now seek is life in prison without parole. Prosecutors informed the judge they would not be seeking the death penalty during a pre-trial hearing which took place shortly after their intentions were announced. Nick Reiner appeared in court for the hearing.

White-ball captain Brook (114no off 49 balls) - who nailed six boundaries in one over - and predecessor in that role Buttler (80 off 44) plundered 128 from just 60 balls in partnership for England's second wicket once debutant Aneurin Donald (12 off 5) fell after slamming a six and a four amid a bright but fleeting cameo. Brook and Buttler had combined for a riotous stand of 233 from 103 balls at the same venue in July as England romped to a total of 257-3 against India that secured a 4-0 series sweep, with Buttler tonking a century on that occasion and Brook an unbeaten 95. Latest Sky Sports deals or stream with no contract on NOWIs Harry Brook more talented than Kevin Pietersen?As it happened - England hammer Sri Lanka at Utilita BowlListen to latest episode of the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast This time around the roles were reversed with Buttler - playing his first innings since the Hundred final at Lord's on August 16 - missing out on a ton but Brook reaching three figures for the second time in T20 internationals, doing so from just 42 deliveries as he mixed big hits with slick, intense running. No wonder England legend Pietersen, who scored almost 14,000 runs in all international cricket between 2004 and 2014, was smiling throughout. That expression continued as Sri Lanka subsided to 135 all out in 19 overs in reply, to suffer a 13th successive defeat to their opponents in this format, stretching back to 2014, and England made it 21 wins from their last 24 T20Is. The pacey, accurate and economical Sonny Baker bagged 3-12 from four overs, including bowling Kamil Mishara (10) to claim his first white-ball wicket for England, while leg-spin maestro Adil Rashid (1-31) nicked off Dasun Shanaka (24 off 14) with a peach of a delivery having just been belted for back-to-back sixes. KP watches on as Brook dazzles at Utilita Bowl Brook's innings was a joy to watch, with his expert ability to pick up length on full display in the 30-run fifth over of the game when he struck Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage for six boundaries in as many deliveries (three sixes, three fours). Brook's first boundary in that set, a six onto the cushion at long-on, was a little edgy but his next five were sublime - fours over the bowler's head and down to long-on, a scooped six over fine leg, a maximum over long-off and, finally, a four behind point. Only Phil Salt - missing this series due to a quad injury, hence why Derbyshire batter Donald has been handed a chance - has hit a faster T20I hundred for England than Brook, taking 39 balls against South Africa in 2025 when the team amassed 304-2 in Manchester. Former England Test captain Ben Stokes took to social media to say: "I don't even think the genius of KP could come close to what Brook has talent-wise. You are an absolute freak, Harry. You're mint to watch." Stokes would later add: "Bit harsh on KP actually. Both are freak talents but Brook is better in my opinion." Baker bags first white-ball wickets as Sri Lanka subside Brook then rotated his bowlers smartly in the second half of the game as Sri Lanka's monumental task was made practically impossible when they started slowly and then tumbled to 69-5 inside the first 10 overs of a sorry chase, one in which Wellalage (33 off 21) top-scored, crunching four fours and two sixes. Brook's boys - for whom seamer Jamie Overton (2-20) and spinner Liam Dawson (2-23) shared four wickets - will now hope to wrap up a series win with a game to spare in Cardiff on Thursday (6.30pm start), ahead of the final match at Emirates Old Trafford on Saturday (2.30pm start). Both fixtures are live on Sky Sports Cricket. Welshman Donald will be looking to make a more sustained impact in the country of his birth in the second T20 - the 29-year-old came through the Glamorgan academy and is the Cardiff county's first homegrown international since 2005 Ashes hero Simon Jones. After Donald heaved a maximum leg-side and drilled four through extra-cover next ball, he spooned Wellalage down the ground, before watching on as Brook and Buttler made mincemeat of the tourists' bowling attack - the duo spanking 28 boundaries between them. Brook hoping to learn from 'hero' Pietersen England captain and player of the match Harry Brook on Kevin Pietersen: "[Pietersen] looked at batting slightly differently, in a similar way to me as well. He always wants to put the bowlers under pressure. "He was a phenomenal player. The way he accessed different areas of the ground made it really tricky to captain and bowl to, and I'm looking forward to conversations about that. "I mentioned to him earlier about trying to help me read surfaces and using my skills to perform on that pitch as well, not just for white-ball cricket, Test cricket as well. "Hopefully he can have a big impact on my career. He's a hero to a lot of players. We grew up watching him and it's just awesome to have a man of his calibre in the changing room."
