Tom Tugendhat has suggested a parliamentary probe into Andrew and Peter Mandelson's links to Epstein, telling The Sun on Sunday: "This goes beyond what a court could reasonably consider. Parliament must consider what it means for the country. "If the worst is proved, do we need to revisit treason laws written 700 years ago?" Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson suggested the UK government is open to taking further steps regarding the fallout from Andrew's arrest. "We're not ruling anything out around this," she told Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips. She also said the government would look "at any sensible proposals" when asked about the possibility of an independent judge-led inquiry. But, Ms Phillipson added, the government would not be setting out further steps until police "have been able to do their work", with a live investigation under way. Ms Phillipson confirmed the government will "keep available" the option of removing Andrew from the royal line of succession, plans which had emerged on Friday. Reform UK's Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick will support a possible government bill to remove Andrew from the line of succession, he told Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips. "If the government brings forward this bill with the support of the King, then we will back it," Mr Jenrick said. He also said he was open to a parliamentary probe into both Andrew and Mr Mandelson, who is being investigated for potential misconduct in public office. "The King serves this country extremely well," Mr Jenrick said but added that Andrew had "disgraced the Royal Family, and he's disgraced our country in the process". "And whatever happens, whether he's ultimately prosecuted or not, he should now just go off, lead a private life and allow the King and the rest of the Royal Family to continue doing the good job that they do for us."

The Sunday Times reported Metropolitan Police officers assigned to Andrew were instructed to provide security for a dinner party at Epstein's residence in New ‌York in 2010. The newspaper cited emails from the Epstein files that appear to detail arrangements for Andrew to stay with the ​late paedophile financier in December 2010, along ‌with his two protection officers from the Met Police. Police ‌said they have not identified any wrongdoing by the protection officers at this stage. Asked to respond to Sunday's reports, the Met Police said it had no further comment.

Mr Morton, who wrote a biography of the late Princess Diana, said there was very little the King could do to stop the fallout, as he publicly let the police lead on the matter, and there was now "blood seeping under the doorway on a regular basis". Mr Morton said he expected police investigating Andrew would have looked at "the money trail" - including Sarah Ferguson borrowing money from Epstein. "The money side of things will be, I would have thought, front and central in this investigation," he said. Mr Morton added: "This is a turning moment for the monarchy." Thames Valley Police has said the searches at Royal Lodge in Windsor would continue until Monday. On Sunday, images showed cars with police officers still moving in and out of Royal Lodge, a few miles from Windsor Castle. The former prince was arrested on Thursday, with Thames Valley Police later releasing a statement saying it had "arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office". Andrew was released from the Aylsham police station after 11 hours of questioning. Andrew has always strenuously denied any wrongdoing.

With so many Labour-run councils already in jeopardy in the forthcoming local elections, campaigners believe this could be a deciding issue in key areas. But the Israeli embassy says the pledge is a "disgraceful effort at intimidation". In total, 1,028 councillors have now signed up to "uphold the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people" and ensure their council is not complicit in what they claim are "Israel's violations of international law", such as divesting from pension funds invested in arms companies. Among the signatories is Hackney Green councillor Zoe Garbett. "I think that this is really important to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people and to make sure that we can make ethical investments," she told Sky News, adding this was an issue residents had raised with the council. "They want to see their council representing them on a national level," she said. "We know that most people really want to see an end to the genocide in Gaza, and an end to wars and conflicts all across the world, and they want to see their local representatives standing up for them." Israel denies the accusations of genocide in Gaza. Most signatories from Greens and Labour So far, 345 of the councillors who've signed the Palestine Pledge are from the Greens, followed by 338 from Labour, 104 Lib Dems, 38 members of the SNP, 17 from Plaid Cymru, 12 from Your Party, three Conservatives and many more independents. Labour has long been divided on the issue of Gaza. The prime minister's initial reluctance to call for a ceasefire after the October 7 attacks led to a drop in support among Muslim communities at the last election. Four Labour MPs lost their seats to pro-Palestinian candidates in July 2024, and the party is now under increasing pressure from other parties on the left. Read more: What's happening with this year's local elections? The pledge provides a rough indication of where it could be a factor in the local elections. In Labour-dominated Islington, 59% of councillors pledged, mostly from Labour. In Tower Hamlets, 49% have signed up, nearly all from the controlling group on the council, Aspire, and none from the Labour block of 16 councillors. In Sheffield, where no party currently has overall control, 24% have signed up - including 13 Greens and seven Labour councillors. But in Labour-controlled Bradford, 29% have signed up - the majority are Greens and independents. In Hackney - where there have been big debates over the issue of divestment - 16% have pledged, with just three of them from Labour. Pledges from Labour left While the prime minister recognised Palestinian statehood in September, many on the Labour left would like to see him do more. "I think that so many Labour councillors have been so keen to sign the Palestine pledge as councillors because it puts on record that support for Palestine and distinguishes them from the position taken by the leader of the Labour Party," Richard Burgon, Labour MP for Leeds East, said. The pledge was launched by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign - the group behind many of the protest marches in support of the Palestinian cause - and supported by four other organisations, the Palestinian Youth Movement Britain, the Palestinian Forum in Britain, The Muslim Vote and the British Palestinian Committee. 'Dangerous road to go down' Former MP Lord Steve McCabe, from Labour Friends of Israel, is concerned about the potential impact of the pledge, saying the campaign was "trying to interfere in local elections" and "encourage councils to develop their own foreign policies". "I think it's a dangerous road to go down. I think undoubtedly it could create tensions in some communities," he said. Lord McCabe added that the campaign comes at a time of heightened antisemitism. He said: "Jewish people are alarmed. They're scared to go to their synagogue. Sometimes they're frightened to walk the streets of their own community. How this will do anything to relieve tensions, I can't see." A spokesperson from the Israeli embassy in London said: "Contrary to what has been portrayed in the campaign, Israel is actively engaged in implementing the 20-point programme established by the Board of Peace. "It is regrettable to see small-scale political opportunism and grifting carried out on the backs of people in the Middle East. "The BDS [Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions] campaign is a disgraceful effort at intimidation that echoes some of the darkest chapters of history. Calls for boycott[s] should be rejected." Government needs to 'wake up', says senior Tory Conservative shadow communities secretary James Cleverly also shared his concern about the boycotts. "This Labour Government must wake up to the growing antisemitism in town halls across the country," he said. "Councillors, including many Labour and Green ones, are signing up to Israel boycotts, which are frequently a cover for attacking Jewish people and culture. And they are being deployed in a cynical, sectarian way to try and win votes. "Keir Starmer pledged to eradicate anti-Jewish hate from his party - but it clearly persists at the local level." A Labour spokesperson responded: "In September, alongside our international partners, the Labour government took the historic decision to recognise the state of Palestine. "Palestinians and Israelis alike have the right to live in peace, free from violence and suffering. We continue to work closely with international partners to progress phase two of the peace plan. "With Keir Starmer's leadership, we have rooted antisemitism out of the Labour Party and the government is continuing to step up its efforts to tackle antisemitism wherever it rears its head across society." Read more from Sky News:Gorton and Denton by-election: The UK's first crucial voteAnalysis: Starmer has even more to lose after latest U-turn Dan Iley-Williamson, political organiser at the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said local authorities "administer pension funds that invest more than £12bn in companies enabling Israel's crimes, including in arms firms that make the bombs and bullets used to kill Palestinians". "The mass movement for Palestine - which has brought millions onto Britain's streets - is not going away," he added. "Vote Palestine will take our demands into the May elections and deliver a message to those seeking office: If you want our votes, stand up for Palestine."

It was Saints' first home game under new head coach Paul Rowley and they made sure to get their campaign on home turf off to a winning start, making up for their opening loss to Warrington Wolves in round one. The visiting Leopards had a narrow 16-12 advantage at half-time, going over through Josh Charnley, Innes Senior and Bailey Hodgson, with Adam Cook converting two of the tries.

Get Sky Sports or stream contract-free on NOWDownload Sky Sports app for expert analysis, video and more Meanwhile, St Helens had got on the scoreboard through Daryl Clark and Kyle Feldt, Jackson Hastings converting one plus adding a penalty from the tee. Leigh were the first to score in the second half through a Cook penalty but then it was all St Helens as a Joe Shorrocks converted try and a Hastings penalty put them 20-18 ahead. They then held on to that lead for over 20 minutes to claim the points. St Helens had to contend with an early change too as Jonny Lomax left the field with a wrist injury which saw Tristan Sailor back in the halves and Harry Robertson at full-back off the bench. Leigh rue errors as Saints grind out win With the Leopards on away turf, it did not take long for them to get going as they sliced through St Helens, Charnley getting to finish things off in the corner in the fourth minute for a 4-0 lead. However, St Helens soon hit back as, after a period of pressure, Clark scooted out from dummy half and Hastings converted to put them 6-4 up inside 10 minutes. In the process, Saints did suffer a crop of injuries as Lomax left the field and then Nene MacDonald limped off just after 20 minutes, moving Robertson to full-back and Matt Whitley into the centres. After a successful captain's challenge in the 22nd minute, the home team moved 8-4 in front as Hastings sent over a penalty conversion. The Leopards replied as Senior and Hodgson went over on the same edge within nine minutes of each other, Cook converting both to put his side 16-8 in front. Just before half-time, St Helens struck again as Leigh made a mistake by letting the restart bounce back into the home team's possession. Off the back of it Saints bided their time then sent it out wide for Feldt to acrobatically finish in the corner and bring the score to 16-12. Both sides had struggled defensively throughout the first 40 and that continued in the second half. The first points went the way of Leigh as Cook slotted over a penalty for Saints being offside at the scrum. But just two minutes later, off the back of a good set started by Robertson, Shorrocks powered over and Hastings converted to bring the scores level at 18-18. Leigh then had a period of individual errors leading to massive pressure, Liam Horne and Cook causing the issues and giving Saints ample opportunities which saw them send a penalty over for a narrow 20-18 advantage with just over 20 minutes remaining. After that, both sides chanced their arm, but it was St Helens with more territory and chances and despite not getting more points on the board they had Leigh where they wanted them. Leeds run riot against York ahead of Las Vegas Leeds put Super League newboys York Knights to the sword with a 46-14 victory at Headingley. Brad Arthur's side ran in eight tries as they registered their first win of the season. The Rhinos opened the scoring in the 12th minute when James McDonnell collected Jake Connor's kick to cross the line. Paul Vaughan hit back for the visitors after cleverly spinning the tackle and Liam Harris' conversion made it 6-6. But Leeds put their foot down and forged ahead in the 30th minute when Maika Sivo went over from close range, with Lachlan Miller finishing a team move two minutes later. Chris Hankinson then scored before half-time as the Rhinos notched their fourth try of a powerful first half, with Connor converting three. Ryan Hall sprinted clear after the restart to extend the lead and then Brodie Croft also crossed the line, minutes after Jordan Thompson had scored York's second try of the night. Harry Newman and a second for Sivo completed the scoring for Leeds, as Scott Galeano's last-gasp try for York did little to change the scoreline. 2026 Super League - key dates and what to look out forRugby League in Las Vegas: Sat Feb 28: Hull KR vs Leeds Rhinos, 11.30pm (Sky Sports)Super League's 30th birthday: Thu Mar 26: Castleford Tigers vs Bradford Bulls, 8pm (Sky Sports)Rivals Round: April 3-April 5Super League in Paris: Sat Jun 6: Catalans Dragons vs Wigan Warriors (Paris), 6:30 UK (Sky Sports)Magic Weekend: July 4-July 5Rivals Round reversed: July 23-July 26Elimination Play-offs: September 19-September 20Play-off semi-finals: September 26-September 27Grand Final: October 3, Old Trafford.

The leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, whose real name is Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, died on Sunday. Oseguera Cervantes was wounded in an operation to capture him in Tapalpa, Jalisco, around two hours' drive southwest of Guadalajara, on Sunday, the Defence Department said in a statement. He died while being flown to Mexico City, the statement added. The state is the base of the cartel known for trafficking large quantities of fentanyl and other drugs to the US. During the operation, troops came under fire and killed four people. Three others, including Oseguera Cervantes, were wounded and later died, the statement said. Two more people were arrested, and armoured vehicles, rocket launchers and other firearms were seized. Three members of the armed forces were also wounded in the operation. The killing of Oseguera Cervantes set off several hours of roadblocks, with vehicles torched in Jalisco and other states. Such tactics are commonly used by the cartels to block military operations. Videos posted on social media showed plumes of smoke billowing over Puerto Vallarta, a major city in Jalisco, and people running through the airport of the state's capital in panic. The US State Department warned US citizens in Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero and Nuevo Leon states to remain in safe places while security operations are carried out. On Sunday afternoon, Air Canada said it was suspending flights to Puerto Vallarta "due to an ongoing security situation". US Deputy Secretary ‌of State Christopher ​Landau called the drug lord's killing ⁠a "great development ⁠for Mexico, the ‌US, Latin America, and ‌the world". Posting on X, Mr Landau added: "I'm watching the scenes of violence from ⁠Mexico with ​great sadness and ​concern." Read more from Sky News:Iran's regime may be ready to strike a deal with TrumpVirtual reality offers escape to Gaza's children The US State Department had offered a reward of up to $15m for information leading to the arrest of El Mencho. Oseguera Cervantes has been heavily involved in drug trafficking since the 1990s. He was convicted of conspiracy to distribute heroin in the US District Court for the Northern District of California in 1994 and spent almost three years in prison. Following his release from custody, Oseguera Cervantes returned to Mexico and continued drug trafficking operations. Since 2017, he has been indicted several times in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel is one of the most powerful and fastest-growing criminal organisations in Mexico. In February, the Trump administration designated it as a foreign terrorist organisation. The cartel carried out a daring assassination attempt in 2020 with grenades and high-powered rifles against the then-head of the capital's police force, who is now head of federal security, in the heart of Mexico City. The DEA considers it to be as powerful as the Sinaloa cartel, one of Mexico's most notorious criminal groups. The cartel has a presence in all 50 US states and is believed to be one of the leading suppliers of cocaine to the US market. Like the Sinaloa cartel, it earns billions of dollars from the production of methamphetamines and fentanyl.

The Times first reported the lack of permission. The newspaper said, as a result of the UK's reticence, Donald Trump had withdrawn his support for a deal struck by Sir Keir Starmer to hand the Chagos Islands, which include Diego Garcia, over to Mauritius. US military plans to strike Iran involve the use of a British and American military base on Diego Garcia as well as RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which hosts a US fleet of heavy bombers. Under long-standing agreements between London and Washington, the Pentagon is only able to launch operations from the two sites, as well as other air bases in the UK that are home to US warplanes and personnel, with advance approval from the British government. This has not yet been given in relation to any potential strike against Iran because of concern that such a mission would be a breach of international law, according to The Times. President Trump on Thursday said the world would find out "over the next, probably, 10 days" whether the US would reach a deal with Iran to end its nuclear ambitions - or take military action. He has been surging forces to the Middle East - including two giant aircraft carriers and supporting warships and jets - to increase his options for launching a significant military operation against the Islamic Republic should talks fail. Mr Trump spoke on Tuesday evening by phone with the British prime minister. The topics covered included the Iran crisis, but not the Chagos Islands. However, the following day, the president launched a new attack on Mr Starmer over the Chagos Islands deal, even after his own State Department had said it supported the UK's decision to give the territory to Mauritius and lease back Diego Garcia. In a post on social media, Mr Trump explicitly mentioned the utility of Diego Garcia and Fairford for US military operations against Iran, and appeared to suggest why it would be within international law for the UK to grant such deployments, given that it too could be under threat. "Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia, and the Airfield located in Fairford, in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime" Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. "An attack that would potentially be made on the United Kingdom, as well as other friendly countries." He then said: "We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK, but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them." Read more:Why is the Chagos Islands deal controversial?Trump to PM: 'Do not give away Diego Garcia' The UK is not thought to be preparing to support the US in any military offensive against Iran. However, the Royal Air Force has deployed six F-35 warplanes to RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, and sent four Typhoon jets to Qatar, as part of efforts to bolster its own defences in the event of any Iranian counterattack in response to American strikes. On the Chagos Islands deal, the government has repeatedly defended its decision to hand over the territory to Mauritius, saying it would avoid a costly legal battle while securing access to Diego Garcia for 100 years.

New Spurs boss Igor Tudor said his team will "100 per cent" avoid relegation this season but suffered an emphatic defeat to their north London rivals at home in his first game in charge, meaning they remain in 16th, four points above the bottom three. Spurs are winless in the top-flight in 2026 with 11 games remaining in the Premier League campaign. Tottenham 1-4 Arsenal - Match report & reactionAs it happened | Teams | StatsLive Premier League table | Watch FREE PL highlightsGot Sky? Watch Premier League games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Doubles from Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze secured bragging rights on Sunday, moving five points clear at the top of the table in the process, with Arsenal fans chanting "we'll never play you again" from the away end at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. "They were magnificent today. You just felt there was control about this Arsenal side," Redknapp said on Sky Sports. "It was a complete mismatch. They were in different leagues, Arsenal were so classy. They were so much better than Tottenham; it was like two different leagues. "If Tottenham aren't careful, they might be in a different league. They cannot keep performing like this. "They have not won a game in 2026 [in the league]; it is a team devoid of personality. They've had a personality bypass. They have to somehow show some character. They cannot carry on every year like this. "Arsenal were fantastic, too good for Tottenham." Tudor: We didn't do enough, Arsenal were much better Tudor's first game in charge offered a harsh reminder of the current problems plaguing Tottenham, such as the 11 senior players missing due to injury or suspension, while also highlighting the chasm that separates them from their north London rivals. "I'm sad because we didn't do enough. Arsenal was much better," Tudor told Sky Sports after the game. "This time there was too much gap between the two teams. Even the physical problems we made to make 11 players [on the pitch] plus three [substitutes]. "It's good to show and see this kind of team [like Arsenal], to show us where we need to be. It shows work and hard, because we struggle in a lot of things. "Psychologically, we need to come out of this moment, the only way is work. Stay quiet, stay humble. And look in the future day by day, growing and growing day by day and week. It's too strong in this moment. "We need to work. There were too many bad habits in the past. Each of us, each part of the team needs to look at ourselves, grow and be humble. It's all about work. We need to run more, work win duels and second balls. "We prepared this for four or five days, but they were faster. "The players showed their passion, they wanted to run and they wanted to do. But we pressed high and don't arrive and take the ball, they are stronger, they have more power and energy. They believe more, that's the key in the end. That's it. Take the lessons." Despite the defeat, Tudor remains confident he will guide the club to safety. He added: "Of course I am confident. These are players who are a good group with bad habits. "Nobody can tell me we don't have quality. But we need to change, a mental switch and have this mental sharpness to be in the game from the first and second minutes. And have the physicality. "One or two players did not have good moments, but today it can happen. Too many players had problems. That's the result." Van de Ven: Arsenal were the better team Spurs defender Micky van de Ven echoed the claims made by Redknapp after admitting the better side walked away with bragging rights on Sunday afternoon. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I think Arsenal overall was the better team. In the first half we were still in the game, it was 1-1. Two minutes into the second half, they scored to make it 2-1 and after that it was really difficult. "I think maybe sometimes in the press we could have done a bit better. We pressed them quite high but Arsenal came out of it a few times and it's difficult to come back quick. "Today, they were just the better team, they created way more than us. "It's a risk when you press up high and go man v man. If one guy is too late, you're going to be open. It's the way you have to deal with it. But when you press high and win it, there are so many chances to score. "But the opposite, when they come out, it's a big risk." When asked if Spurs are in a relegation battle with just 11 games to go in the Premier League season, Van de Ven added: "We just need to win the games. Step by step we need to look, next up is Fulham and that's the most important one for us."
