Christopher Cockell, 50, faces six counts of causing death by dangerous driving after the collision on the A61 near Mapplewell, Barnsley, in July 2024. Four members of the same family were among those killed in the collision - Shane Roller, 33, his partner Shannen Morgan, 30, and their daughters, Rubie and Lillie Morgan-Roller, aged nine and four. A third daughter who was not in their Ford Focus was left orphaned by the crash. Also killed were a married couple riding a BMW S100 XR motorbike - Christopher Barton, 56, and Janine Barton, 48. West Yorkshire Police said Cockell, of Gresford Close, Woolley Grange, would appear at Leeds Magistrates' Court on 28 October.

The agreement clears a major hurdle to the proposed deal - announced earlier this year after Paramount beat out a bid from Netflix. A source familiar with the settlement told Reuters that the agreement includes independent editorial boards for the CNN ‌and CBS networks - as the merger would bring the rival news outlet under the same ownership. The source also told the news agency that the settlement includes a $30m (£22.4m) penalty ⁠per film ​falling short of the ​30-movies-a-year release ​target that Paramount has promised. While Trump administration regulators cleared the deal for Paramount to absorb Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), a coalition of 12 state ⁠attorney generals sued in July to block the merger. Led by California's attorney general, the lawyers argued that the merger - mainly aimed at creating a bigger rival to the likes of Netflix - would substantially weaken competition in the US market, driving up prices for consumers and costing jobs. A settlement with the states will help Paramount avoid a $7m-a-day (£4.4m) "ticking fee" it owes WBD shareholders for each day the deal does not close past 30 September. Concerns were raised that the deal would give US president Donald Trump more influence over CNN due to the possibility of Paramount head David Ellison and his father Larry, a longtime Trump associate, reorienting the network. It comes after CNN, MS NOW and Politico said they have notified Donald Trump's administration that they are filing a lawsuit over being denied White House access over the weekend. WBD's board first announced it was open to selling or partly selling the company in October 2025 after a summer of hushed speculation. Back in June that year, WBD announced its plan to split into two companies: one for its TV, film studios, and HBO Max streaming services, and one for the Discovery element of the business, primarily comprising legacy TV channels that air cartoons, news, and sports. More: Why was Warner Bros for sale? After Netflix announced it had agreed a $72bn (£54bn) deal for WBD's film and TV studios on 5 December, Paramount launched a hostile bid - meaning straight to shareholders - with a $108.4bn (£81bn) bid several days later. Paramount claimed to have tried several times to bid for WBD through its board, but said it launched the hostile bid after hearing of Netflix's offer because the board had "never engaged meaningfully". Eventually, WBD accepted Paramount's offer of $110.9bn in February after Netflix withdrew. One lawsuit against the merger - filed by the Writers Guild of America (WGA), also in California - remains pending. The union's east and west sectors filed a joint antitrust suit in July, arguing the joint entity "would have both the incentive and the ability to lower costs by suppressing writers' wages and reducing output". "Writers will be paid less and have fewer employment opportunities", the WGA added. More from Sky News:Compensation warning after second air traffic outage in weeksMoscow and Washington 'welcome' far-right success in Germany UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy also said in June she was "minded" to intervene in the merger over public interest concerns, but later said in August she would not due to the legally binding commitments provided to her by Paramount. Paramount, WBD, the WGA and the Department of Justice have not commented publicly on the reports of a settlement.

Every crown court will have at least one courtroom dedicated to such cases within the next two years. There will also be a private entrance and waiting room to shield victims from the defendant. People can already request this, but it depends on availability. Court staff will get "trauma-informed training", a single person of contact will be provided, and trials will be assigned a fixed date rather than put on a floating list. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the move - estimated to cost £23m - would "rebalance the scales of justice and put victims first" and was "long overdue". "For too long, victims of rape and serious sexual offences have felt let down by our justice system," he said. "Prosecution rates for rape remain shamefully low, with many victims waiting years for justice." The government praised Labour MP Charlotte Nichols' "immense strength and bravery" in speaking about being raped and calling for changes to cut the backlog of cases. Ms Nichols spoke in the Commons in March about having to wait more than 1,000 days for her case to be heard. She thanked the prime minister and justice secretary and said the changes were a "hugely important milestone" that would make things easier for victims. "I'm proud that substantive meaningful change has come from waiving my anonymity to speak about my own experiences," she added. The courts pledge is one of a series of government announcements to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG), something Labour has promised to halve within a decade. The charity Rape Crisis said it was a "significant step forward" and the package of reforms would ensure courts "properly meet the needs of victims and survivors". More from Sky News:National taskforce to tackle misogyny launchedSecond arrest after remains of missing woman found Shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy also welcomed the move but criticised the government's wider plan to reduce the number of jury trials. "The fact that victims have been withdrawing their cases because they have taken too long has been a disgrace," he said. "Labour need to get courts sitting throughout the year, end the delays and clear the backlog - not undermine our right to a trial by jury."

Palmer, Rice, Tino Livramento and Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford have all withdrawn from the camp, with Morgan Gibbs-White and James Garner being recalled as replacements. Palmer, who was left out of Tuchel's World Cup squad in the summer, played the full 90 minutes in Chelsea's defeat to Brentford after being recalled for the Three Lions' Nations League games against Spain, Czech Republic and Croatia. After announcing his squad for the September and October fixtures, Tuchel revealed what both Gibbs-White and Palmer had to do to become regulars. "We can see the form Morgan is in and he ended the season very strongly and was the key player for Forest to not be relegated. We can see him stepping up now," Tuchel said. "It's one thing to be nominated and getting back in the squad and to perform. Cole needs to show these kinds of numbers and performances to get his shirt and justify the nomination." After struggling with injuries last season, Palmer told Sky Sports he felt he was back to full fitness coming into the new campaign. Analysis: Thomas Tuchel must win back trustEngland news and analysis | Follow our England blogNeville: I have a big problem with Tuchel's DNA comments "Physically I feel good, probably the best I've felt in ages, but I think I can [get fitter] with games and more minutes," Palmer said. "Before my groin injury, I'd never really been injured. Well, rarely [injured]. So then I would just come back and play when I shouldn't have played. "Obviously the World Cup was coming up, so I was in a bit of a dilemma thinking, 'if I don't play I'm not going to go. But if I play then, I can't play [properly].' "It was just a bit of a sticky situation. I didn't really know how to deal with it, but it's one of those things. I was just seeing different people, getting different ideas of why I was injured and what it was. "Since I've come back I've been working every day to obviously stop it happening again. I just want to stay injury free, and if I'm on the pitch then I know what I can do." Rice was a focal point of England's side during the World Cup but had to play through injury throughout the tournament. He since started each of Arsenal's five Premier League games this season. Mainoo unable to prove Tuchel wrong after withdrawal Sky Sports News reported prior to the announcement that Mainoo and Rashford were both doubts for the squad. The pair were substituted during United's 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage. Rashford had a hip injury that the club have been handling since the World Cup and was seen limping after being replaced during Sunday's fixture. Mainoo meanwhile played 80 minutes against Fulham with Michael Carrick saying he was replaced due to tactical reasons. The 24-year-old was part of the World Cup squad in the summer but did not play a single minute, something which Tuchel promised would not be the case this international break. "I expect him to be on the pitch and it's my duty to get him on the pitch. That was totally on me. He didn't put a foot wrong during the World Cup," Tuchel said. "He was class in behaviour on the training pitch. There was big competition; we played Reece [James] in central midfield also. Elliot Anderson is amazing for us, Declan Rice is a very unique player "We trusted them more than we trusted Kobbie. It was difficult for him. It was on me. "He got injured before the France game so we couldn't even give him minutes there, which hurt me. Maybe he was more hurt than me but it was my responsibility and it's my responsibility to reward him for that." How will Tuchel react to Palmer's withdrawal? Sky Sports News' chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol: "It's not a serious injury but it's something that needs to be managed. It doesn't make sense from Chelsea's perspective for him to go away on international duty for three weeks. "Everyone knows Palmer has had quite a lot of injury problems, especially last season. He had a longstanding groin injury which meant he missed long stretches of last season. He wasn't really at his best. "He has been at his best this season though. He has started every game. He started when they lost away at Brentford. "Some cynics may be asking if there is more to this than meets the eye. Tuchel controversially left him out of his World Cup squad in the summer so he really had a point to prove. Straight away he lets him down by not being able to make the squad. "Tuchel is someone who places great store by these camps away from your club for a long time. Some of the reasons that he picked the players he did in the summer was because they impressed him in the camps last autumn. "It is a little bit of a black mark against Palmer's name but it should be a kept in proportion because the next tournament is still two years away."

Typhoon Dujuan is expected to pass close to the Japanese capital's metropolitan area on Monday amid warnings the extreme conditions will deteriorate rapidly. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued its highest level five "emergency" alert for extreme conditions in Oshima in the Izu islands, which is around 65 miles south of Tokyo, while many other areas in eastern Japan faced level four "urgent" warnings. More than 1.6 million people have reportedly been told to evacuate their homes. Hundreds of flights were reported to have been impacted by the weather, with passengers facing potential cancellations, delays and diversions. Japan Airlines warned passengers "many flights are being affected" due to the conditions, while All Nippon Airways told people using their services to check for updates "frequently". Heavy rain has already drenched the Izu Islands and parts of Japan's Pacific coast. Some locations have recorded more than 300mm (12ins) of rain since Saturday. The JMA said downpours could intensify as the typhoon closes in on many areas, including Tokyo. The authorities said that "linear rain bands" could form across central Japan, sharply raising the risk of flash floods and other rain-related disasters.

All of Sheeran's support acts - including his backing band - have quit the current Loop tour after the US rapper Macklemore was dropped following comments he made in support of Palestine during a show in New Jersey. Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft barred the rapper from performing at the Massachusetts venue later this month, saying he would not "provide a platform for hate speech". And following the decision of the support acts to pull out of the tour, Sheeran was forced to play a solo set at the Lincoln Financial Field Stadium in Philadelphia on Saturday, beginning the concert by addressing the week's events. He said: "I've had to take, and make, difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes and I'm so, so sorry for them. "I don't want to disappoint fans, and I've never wanted to be an activist musician, but this has put me in the middle of an important and passionate argument about freedom of speech and the most complex political issue on the planet." Sheeran insisted that he has tried to avoid becoming a "political commentator" during his career, and that he wants his music to be "about unity, not division". He added: "This is a humanitarian issue, and I cannot hide how I feel about it anymore. "What happened in Israel and at the Nova music festival on October 7 was horrific and compounded centuries of Jewish pain. "What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic and unjustifiable and disproportionate. My heart has been broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilians' lives, children's lives." Sheeran went on to thank fans for coming to the show, adding: "I am honestly so grateful that you're here tonight with me. "This concert is still a place where everyone is welcome and everyone here can stand beside people that have opposing views, and everyone can stand beside people that they don't agree with on everything, but they can all agree on singing these songs." Becoming emotional at the end of the gig, Sheeran reflected on feeling "abandoned" in the wake of the controversy. The singer told the crowd he felt "so much love" from the audience, adding: "Everyone is telling me to cancel, and I'm feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me, and I look at the end of the week, and I see 50,000 people who haven't abandoned. "The world is a scary place right now. America is a scary place right now. This gives hope." Pro-Palestine protest near stadium A small but vocal pro-Palestine demonstration was held several hundred metres from the venue, near the train station that serves the Lincoln Financial Field Stadium. One woman told the Associated Press she was attending the protest after receiving a refund for her tickets to the concert. Hillary Steinberg said: "I think all art is political, and all music is political, and so this choice - even though he was saying that he wasn't complicit - is a political choice." Sheeran's ongoing tour began in Auckland, New Zealand, in January. It will finish in Mexico City in December, with 16 other shows still scheduled across North and South America.

The group will seek to root out harmful attitudes online, in workplaces and within communities, bringing together representatives from women's organisations, academia, local leaders and ministers. Women and equalities minister Bridget Phillipson told Sky News' Sunday Morning with Kamal Ahmed that the taskforce "will tackle some of the attitudes that we've seen develop, particularly in recent years, that I thought were a thing of the past". She continued: "And I want women to live lives of opportunity, of freedom, and not to have to worry about whether they feel safe on the street, whether they're safe in their own home, about whether they'll face harassment on public transport, attitudes in our schools that young girls will experience. "This is about all of us, across government, coming together to tackle these attitudes, this underlying problem that, sadly, does lead to women losing their lives. It leads to terrible, terrible consequences." Further announcements will be made this week to move forward with Labour's 2024 manifesto pledge to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) within a decade, officials said. Those working alongside Ms Phillipson on the taskforce include Girlguiding chief executive officer Felicity Oswald, West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin and End Violence Against Women Coalition interim director Janaya Walker. The first meeting is expected to take place shortly after conference recess (12 October) and will focus on young people. Ms Phillipson, who previously worked at a women's refuge before entering parliament, said: "I've seen first-hand the devastating impact on women and girls when harmful attitudes are tolerated and left unchallenged. "No woman should have to make her world smaller or curb her ambitions out of fear - and making that a reality is everyone's business. "As a whole society, we can and must be better." Ms Oswald said girls were telling Girlguiding they are facing rising levels of sexism and misogyny online, in public and in schools. "That's why we are calling for more education around healthy relationships, gender stereotypes, early warning signs and consent," she said. "We welcome the opportunity to bring girls' experiences and perspectives directly into discussions with government. "Girls are experts in their own lives and it is vital that their voices are heard when decisions are made that impact them."

On Thursday, campaigners told Sky News' Mornings With Ridge And Frost how urgent action was needed to tackle abuse. One of the guests was Nour Norris, whose 22-year-old niece Raneem Oudeh was murdered along with Nour's sister Khaola Saleem at the hands of Ms Oudeh's ex-partner Janbaz Tarin in 2018. She told the programme that even survivors "don't get heard" and that more voices were important to make changes.

Matheus Cunha gave a damning view from inside the squad, telling Sky Sports: "They put in more energy than us, we cannot accept this." Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville said: "I've never seen a Man Utd team walk out of possession as much as that." So what do the stats say about United's work-rate at Craven Cottage - and how big a problem is it for Michael Carrick? High-speed runs Man Utd rank joint-bottom in the Premier League for high-speed runs, according to Opta. They are level with Man City on 1691 high-speed runs - but their neighbours played with 10 men for the majority of the derby at Old Trafford, which needs to be factored into their figures.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW 📺Walking Man Utd spent 52.98 per cent of their time out of possession at Fulham walking. Seven teams have posted a higher figure this term, although it is the highest percentage Man Utd have recorded this season. United's average for this campaign of 51.13 per cent ranks them 17th in the Premier League. Since the start of last season there have been 30 times a team has spent a greater percentage of time walking out of possession in a Premier League match than Man Utd did at Fulham. That includes the 54.59 per cent United recorded in their 3-0 win at Brighton on the final day of last season. Distance covered Man Utd ran 110.2km on Sunday - the second-lowest total of the Premier League weekend, behind Liverpool's 108.4km figure at Bournemouth. United ran 6.5km less than Fulham - the second biggest difference between teams this season when both keep 11 men on the pitch. (Arsenal out-ran Coventry by 6.8km on the opening night of the season). Man Utd have also been out-run in terms of distance by Hull, Ipswich and Everton this season. Man City - who had Phil Foden sent off after 23 minutes - are the only side United have run further than in the Premier League this term. Dropping deep Man Utd allowed Fulham to start their passing sequences, on average, 36.9m from the United goal. That is the nearest any team allowed their opponents to begin from, on average, in the Premier League this past weekend. It reflects how United sat deep out of possession at Craven Cottage. Fulham, by contrast, allowed United to start attacks 43.4m from their goal, on average - the third-highest figure of the latest round of matches. Allowing Fulham to pass In his post-match analysis, Neville referenced Fulham's amount of 10+ passing sequences. Fulham had more 'build-up attacks' (10+ passing sequences that end in a shot or touch in the opposition box) than any other side this weekend. But was it all part of the plan? It's worth pointing out United boss Carrick rejected the suggestion United had energy issues in the game when Cunha's quotes were put to him in his post-match press conference. "The way we finished the game it didn't look like that for me," he said. Their 'progress' stat, measuring metres gained per passing sequence, was top for this latest round of Premier League games, showing how they were able to advance far up the pitch from their deep starting position when they won the ball back off Fulham. In fact, their 36 penalty-box entries was the most of any team in any Premier League game this season. United had 29 shots at Fulham - including two against the woodwork in the first half. That has contributed to their total of 113 shots this season, which is the most of any team. They also have the third-best Expected Goals total in the Premier League of 10.24. So what does it all mean? The problem for Carrick is those positive numbers around their attacking play are overshadowed by taking just five points from their first five games - at the beginning of a campaign where United fans had been excited about their team kicking on from their third-place finish last season. Their frustrations around results and performances have then been further fuelled by low-ranking running stats. A failure to beat bottom-of-the-table Tottenham after the international break would turn this into United's worst-ever start to a Premier League season and raise more hard-hitting questions about the output of Carrick's team.
