The boxing promoter appeared at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin on Sunday after being extradited from Dubai on an Irish government jet. He was arrested when he landed back on Irish soil at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel, an airport outside the capital, just after 6.30pm. Kinahan, 49, was charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation between 18 October 2015 and 6 April 2017. A joint statement from Ireland and the United Arab Emirates described the alleged crime boss as "one of the most high-profile individuals sought for prosecution in connection with transnational organised crime". Kinahan is allegedly the leader of the Kinahan organised crime group, which is said to have smuggled illegal drugs, including cocaine and cannabis - as well as guns - into Europe. US authorities have described the gang as one of the most "dangerous cartels in the world" and previously offered a reward of up to $5m (£3.7m) for Kinahan's arrest. Irish police, with assistance from authorities in the UK, Spain and the US, have been pursuing members of the group for the past decade. The Garda Siochana commissioner Justin Kelly said Kinahan's extradition from Dubai "shows our determination, along with our international policing partners, including Dubai Police, to target transnational organised crime groups". More than 70,000 people tracked the plane carrying Kinahan from Dubai, and crowds gathered outside the Special Criminal Court in hopes of glimpsing him. Armed Irish police officers were stationed at entrances to the court, where Kinahan arrived in a convoy of vehicles with blacked-out windows.

An attempt was made on Kinahan's life in 2016 at a boxing weigh-in at the Regency Hotel in Dublin. After the court appearance, the alleged organised crime boss was taken to Portlaoise Prison, a high-security jail about 90 miles (145km) southwest of Dublin. Kinahan will appear in court on 5 October.

Swift has not recently spoken about the US president, but the singer-songwriter backed then-vice-president Kamala Harris, Mr Trump's Democratic rival, in the 2024 election. The 36-year-old superstar also posted on social media that Mr Trump was "WELL AWARE we do not want him as our president" during the previous presidential campaign in 2020. Swift has repeatedly been criticised by Mr Trump, who said he "hated" her in an online post after she endorsed Ms Harris. "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer "HOT?"," Mr Trump wrote last year. Dozens of artists, ​such as Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande, have called on the Trump administration not to use their songs. A TikTok video on 3 August that included Swift's song August posted to the account for Trump's campaign has had the sound removed. The video shows Donald and first lady Melania Trump watching fireworks while standing on a balcony, with the text, "Mood because it's August and Donald Trump is your president." And the caption read: "I'm sure @Taylor Swift is going to be super excited we used her song!" Fans have recently noticed that the track was removed from the Trump TikTok. One of the comments on the video was from a user who said "TAYLOR REMOVING THE AUDIO QUEEEEEEN", while another read, "Sorry, what was that? cant hear the song." A video posted on 6 August, which features the text, "Did you know Taylor Swift wrote a whole album about the color of the Republican Party", has also had the sound removed. And a video, posted on 6 November 2025, which included Swift's track Father Figure, also has had the audio removed, Variety reported.

"Well, I wish them a lot of luck," he said. "He's a great player, and I think he's a great guy, and I think that she's a terrific person, so I wished them a lot of luck." Swift and Kelce married in New York City in July. The White House and a representative for Swift have not commented on the removal of her songs from the posts.

The prime minister will spend much of the rest of August in "listening mode" as he travels across the country, officials said. He also plans to use the national tour to tell voters about his 10-year plan for the UK. Mr Burnham is set to unveil several measures intended to help people with bills and give them "breathing room" - after already announcing cuts to energy costs and a £2 cap on bus fares during his first week in Downing Street. A spokesman for the prime minister said he will be "meeting people where they are", adding: "He thinks Westminster has got used to telling people that everyday hassles - like hidden pricing and consumers being ripped off - must be accepted as part of life. "He doesn't think that's right. That's why he's going to start rolling out a series of pro-consumer cost of living measures to give people some room to breathe." The cost of living remains a major concern for the public amid the fallout of the Iran war, keeping inflation higher than expected. A poll published by Ipsos at the end of July found 30% of people were particularly concerned about the economy, while 22% cited inflation or prices specifically. Opposition figures have criticised Mr Burnham for the measures announced so far, which include temporarily cutting the 5% VAT on energy bills to zero, a £2 bus fare cap, and a 20% cut in business rates for the majority of pubs and other hospitality venues. Reform UK's economic spokesman Robert Jenrick said the prime minister should "scrap green levies and taxes on energy bills" and rule out tax rises in October's budget. He added: "It's high time the Labour Party cut the ballooning benefits bill so we can relieve pressure on the hardworking majority that hold our country together." Green Party leader Zack Polanski, writing in The i Paper, said the prime minister was "tinkering at the edges" with his announcements. Shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride accused Mr Burnham, who vowed to also focus on improving high streets, of "breathtaking hypocrisy" as tax hikes and "red tape" were "hammering our high streets", forcing businesses to close and driving up prices. He urged Mr Burnham to scrap business rates for thousands of high street firms. Read more from Sky News:UK heat record likely to be brokenHuge wildfire spreads in Canada His comments were echoed by Lib Dem Treasury spokeswoman Daisy Cooper, who said Labour's tax hikes and "unnecessary new red tape" had pushed high street businesses "to the brink". She said to "breathe life back into our high streets", Mr Burnham should reverse the job tax, deliver a VAT cut for hospitality, replace "broken" business rates and crack down on ghost landlords leaving shopfronts vacant.

The five-time major champion, back on the PGA Tour after a four-year hiatus with LIV Golf, posted a final-round 70 at Sedgefield Country Club on Sunday.

"It's just all on the greens. I don't know what the deal is. "Got zero confidence, can't putt. I don't know. There's going to be a lot of changes here soon." Asked to sum up his disappointment at missing the playoffs, Koepka didn't hold back, adding: "Pretty disappointed. I think it's pretty pathetic that I can't get through. "Zero top-10s basically in two years. To be in the prime of my career and be as good as I think I am, I think that's very pathetic, disappointing. "I just need to go home and completely re-evaluate everything." Koepka, 36, has not made a PGA Tour post-season appearance since 2021, having featured every year, except 2020 when he was injured, dating back to 2015.

In televised comments at Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting, the Israeli prime minister also said his military will not make "any withdrawal" from the Palestinian territory until Hamas fully disarms. Mr Netanyahu also warned that as long as he is PM there will be no Palestinian state in Gaza or the West Bank and Iran "will not have nuclear weapons". "The existence of our precious country, the country of all of us, the existence of Israel, is non-negotiable," he said. Explaining his stance on Hamas's proposed disarmament, he said: "I mean the heavy weapons, the less heavy weapons, all the weapons. And we are talking about real disarmament, not fictitious disarmament." Mr Netanyahu pushed back on "talking to the Americans about this issue [Gaza]". "They have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some of which are unacceptable to us, and we know how to stand up to these things," he said. "We have proven this in the past and we are proving it today." Responding to the Israeli leader's comments, senior Hamas official Basem Naim said the group expects mediators and Washington to "press Netanyahu and his government to adhere to the roadmap". Israel has scaled back attacks on the enclave following Monday's meeting between Mr Netanyahu and Nikolay Mladenov, the Gaza envoy of the board, which is overseeing the ceasefire. Last month, the US president, who has repeatedly said he wants to end the conflict, said there had been a breakthrough in his ​peace plan, which ⁠both Israel and Hamas agreed to in 2025 and that began with a ceasefire. Mr Trump ⁠said Hamas, ​which ruled Gaza for ​nearly two decades before ​carrying out the 7 October 2023, attack on Israel that triggered the ⁠Gaza war, had ​agreed to lay down its weapons. Mr Trump was applying "heavy pressure" on Mr Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza, sources close to the ceasefire negotiations told Sky News last month, beginning when the pair met at the White House.

Board of Peace Describing itself on its website as a body that "seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict", the board has 28 founding members. It was set up by Mr Trump in in September 2025 and includes Sir Tony Blair on its executive board. In a statement, Mr Trump said its aim is to "end decades of suffering, stop generations of hatred and bloodshed, and forge a beautiful, everlasting, and glorious peace". But the plan foundered as Israel refused to withdraw until Hamas disarmed, while the militant group insisted that Israel ⁠halt attacks before it implements the part of the agreement dealing with its ⁠arms.

Warning: This article contains references to self-harm. The famous gossip blogger was treated in a Miami hospital earlier this week after he reportedly livestreamed himself self-harming. The video, streamed on TikTok on Tuesday, appeared to show Hilton covered in blood with cuts on his arms and torso, while drawing a knife across himself. The footage was taken down and his account suspended. In an update to the Perez Hilton website, his family said the 48-year-old remains in hospital. A statement said: "Perez's condition remains serious but stable. He experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that will require surgery in the coming days. His treatment and recovery will be a long process. "We are grateful that Perez was able to spend time with his mother and sister yesterday." The family said Hilton was being held under Florida's Baker Act, a law allowing doctors to put a person on a 72-hour hold if they are a danger to themselves or others. His three children, a son and two daughters, "remain safe and are being cared for by immediate family", the statement continued. The family asked for privacy "during this incredibly difficult time". Hilton, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr, became famous in the early 2000s as a gossip journalist, reporting on celebrities who made public gaffes.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced earlier this week that rapists, groomers and those who have committed serious child sexual offences will be excluded from the policy, which is set to free at least 5.000 people earlier in their sentences from October. The PM said he wanted to "go further" with additional exemptions, but could not do so because of prison capacity. PC Harper was killed in 2019 while he responded to reports of a burglary. He was dragged along a country road for more than a mile after his ankle became caught in the getaway car's towrope loop. Politics Hub: Follow the latest Two of his killers Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole, convicted of manslaughter, would be eligible for release at the halfway point of their sentence, rather than two-thirds under this week's version of the policy. The other killer, Henry Long, has a longer sentence which would prevent him from being released early under the scheme - he would need to be seen by the Parole Board before any release. It is understood that the government is still evaluating potential methods to exclude Bowers and Cole from the policy, which became law earlier this year, as well as other carve-outs. Exemptions have previously relied on blocking blanket offence groups, such as rape, from the criteria for early release eligibility. There are concerns in government about blocking manslaughter in addition to the other exclusions, because there are currently around 1,000 people serving sentences for manslaughter. The fear is that exempting them all would not have the desired effect of the policy on prison capacity and overcrowding. However, not all of them would necessarily be eligible for early release, because they could have committed other offences on the list of exclusions. Officials say the original plans excluded around 18,000 offenders, such as those serving life sentences for crimes like murder or terrorism offences. There are calls to make an amendment that would exclude manslaughter against an emergency worker, but this is not a specific offence, and so the government has so far said it is not possible. However, those campaigning to prevent Harper's killers from being released are calling for "urgent political direction from ministers" - and for them to consider a subset clause in the legislation. Thames Valley Police's Conservative police and crime commissioner, Matthew Barber, has said he believes that less than 10 people are in prison for manslaughter against an emergency worker, and an exemption could be made manually without impacting the prison population too significantly. Read more from Sky News:'Deplorable' that his killers may be released earlyOne issue could end PM's honeymoon period He has also pointed to Harper's Law, created after PC Harper's death, which means that anyone convicted of killing an emergency worker while committing a crime would face a mandatory life sentence. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "The death of PC Andrew Harper was a horrific crime. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, and we share the anger from the police community that we are in this position. "We have been clear that we wanted to go further and block more offenders from getting out sooner into their sentence but could not do so without risking prisons reaching capacity and collapsing. "If that happened, police could not make arrests, courts could not remand offenders and there would be unchecked criminality on our streets."

Brennan had a run of five straight birdies between the fourth and eighth holes, and recovered from a bogey on the 11th by picking up further shots on the 13th and 18th holes, saving par on the 17th with an excellent second shot after running into the rough with his tee-shot. Hossler, who shared the overnight lead with Brennan, had kept himself in touch with a birdie on the third and an eagle at the par-five fifth, but then bogeyed the ninth and 12th holes as Brennan surged forward.

"I felt really good on the front nine. Just playing my game, I was really staying within myself, hitting good shots. "Felt like I was really in control. Got a little nervous around 10 and 11. I made a really nice par putt on 12 and that kind of steadied me a little bit going through and I'm just glad to make a few putts coming in. "It's everything. I mean, I don't want to be done playing golf. I feel like I've played the best golf I have all year the last couple weeks. "Unfortunately, a couple tough Sundays, but outside of that, I've been playing really solidly. This is my sixth week in a row and so seven's a lot, but I think I'm going to be perfectly happy running on fumes next week."
