Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, a 24-year-old Algerian national, was mistakenly released from HMP Wandsworth in south London on 29 October. Sky News approached Kaddour-Cherif moments before his arrest in Finsbury Park, north London, at 11.30am, but he claimed to be someone else. Follow the latest reaction He was then approached by officers next to a police van and arrested. One of the officers said Kaddour-Cherif had been identified as the missing prisoner because he had a "distinctive wonky nose". In the footage, the Algerian was shown shouting to people standing nearby in the street. An officer then held up a photo of Kaddour-Cherif on a phone, comparing the image to the man arrested. When officers asked him whether he knew why he was being arrested, Kaddour-Cherif replied: "I don't know." Kaddour-Cherif, who was wearing a grey hoodie, black beanie and black backpack, said the mix-up at the prison was the fault of the authorities who released him. "It's not my f***ing fault", Kaddour-Cherif shouted. The Prison Service informed the Metropolitan Police about the error six days later - and a huge manhunt for him was launched. It is not yet clear why it was nearly a week between the release at HMP Wandsworth and the police being informed that an offender was at large. "At 11.23am on Friday, 7 November, a call was received from a member of the public reporting a sighting of a man they believed to be Brahim Kaddour-Cherif in the vicinity of Capital City College on Blackstock Road in Islington," a Met Police spokesperson said. "Officers responded immediately and at 11.30am detained a man matching Cherif's description. His identity was confirmed and he was arrested for being unlawfully at large. "He was also arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker in relation to a previous unrelated incident. He has been taken into police custody. The Prison Service has been informed." Kaddour-Cherif is a registered sex offender who was convicted of indecent exposure in November last year, following an incident in March. At the time, he was given a community order and placed on the sex offenders register for five years. He was then subsequently jailed for possessing a knife in June. Kaddour-Cherif came to the UK legally and is not an asylum seeker, but it is understood he overstayed his visit visa and deportation proceedings had been started. He was accidentally freed five days after the wrongful release of convicted sex offender Hadush Kebatu. Both Kaddour-Cherif and Kebatu were arrested in Finsbury Park. A third man, fraudster William Smith, 35, was mistakenly released from HMP Wandsworth on 3 November, but turned himself in on Thursday. After Kaddour-Cherif's arrest, Justice Secretary David Lammy admitted there was a "mountain to climb" to tackle the crisis in the prison system. "We inherited a prison system in crisis and I'm appalled at the rate of releases in error this is causing," he said. "I'm determined to grip this problem, but there is a mountain to climb which cannot be done overnight. "That is why I have ordered new tough release checks, commissioned an independent investigation into systemic failures, and begun overhauling archaic paper-based systems still used in some prisons."

The first UK celebrity series of the popular reality show has been a ratings hit since its launch a month ago, wrapping up with a tense finale on Thursday night. NB. This article contains spoilers related to the final episode Speaking to Sky News' Anna Jones and Kamali Melbourne on the new Mornings with Jones and Melbourne, Olusoga said: "We were brilliant at the tasks and every day we went out and did what were basically bonding exercises. "We all really got to know each other, and then we were terrible at the round table because we just liked each other too much." The 55-year-old historian says it was a "devilishly difficult game," admitting he would have been a "terrible" traitor because he "wasn't very good as a faithful". Treacherous Alan Carr was crowned the winner of the show, after a nail-biting roundtable which saw fellow traitor Cat Burns banished, followed by faithful Joe Marler. The celebrities proved to be the worst in the show's UK history at rooting out the traitors, a fact not lost on Olusoga: "For the most part, it was people sort of not being very good to pointing fingers at each other". Respected for his intellect and insight, Olusoga says the show has left him questioning his skill set: "I learned the limits of my kind of my approach to logic, which made a lot of sense to me but didn't really get me very far." Despite many viewers feeling Carr let slip plenty of clues that he was a traitor, Olusoga says he never once suspected him. Olusoga says: "It was like a double bluff. It was somebody who wasn't trying to disguise that they were a traitor, therefore, it seemed logical that they weren't a traitor… "I think, of all the people, Alan probably got the fewest votes in the entire show. The other thing is, Alan is a national treasure. He's innately likeable. I think none of us really wanted to believe Alan was a traitor because he had us laughing, we were in stitches the whole time." Despite his lack of competitive success on the show, he says it's an experience he relished. "It's very easy to get stuck in your own ruts as an adult, so to be plucked out of your world, to have your phone taken away from you, to be put in this entirely new environment - this amazing, surreal environment, with these amazing people - it was like the first week of university again. It was like starting a new school. That was wonderful." Previously a fan of the show, he says being a player was a completely different ballgame: "You really haven't got a clue… you see patterns in the clouds". He also has no regrets about his decision to get involved: "I've been asked to do a lot of different shows. And I've always said no to all of them. But even before doing it, my view was, Traitors is special". Olusoga is currently working on a Remembrance project with Findmypast to archive pictures of fallen soldiers in the First World War.

Speaking to Sky News' Electoral Dysfunction podcast with political editor Beth Rigby, the Labour peer said the release errors are a chance for the justice secretary to "roll up his sleeves" and sort out his department. It emerged on Wednesday that two prisoners were wrongly freed from HMP Wandsworth last week. It follows the high-profile release of migrant sex offender Hadush Kebatu from HMP Chelmsford. Baroness Harman said this has "shone a spotlight on a systemic problem which needs to be sorted out". Rather than become a "ding dong" between Labour and the Tories, she said: "I think ironically it's a bit of an opportunity for him [Lammy] to actually be able to roll up his sleeves and insist the department gets the resources and the focus it needs to sort out this problem, which is not a new problem." She added that figures showing 262 prisoners were mistakenly released in the 12 months to March 2025 is "five a week, more or less being let out early" and "we don't even know that is the full extent". Mr Lammy, who is also the deputy prime minister, is under fire over his handling of the saga. He stood in for Sir Keir Starmer at PMQs on Wednesday when he refused to answer whether any more asylum seekers had been wrongly released since Kebatu, an Ethiopian national, who was later deported. As PMQs was ending, the story broke that Algerian sex offender Brahim Kaddour-Cherif had been released in error. It has since emerged that Mr Lammy was made aware of this overnight on Tuesday. He has defended not revealing that he knew about the incident, saying he did not have the full details and did not want to mislead the public.

But Kaddour-Cherif was released in error two days later, on 29 October, while another prisoner, William "Billy" Smith, was mistakenly released on Monday. Smith handed himself in on Thursday, while Kaddour-Cherif was arrested on Friday.

New title leader Norris produced a last-gasp pacesetting lap of 1:09.975 to get ahead of team-mate Piastri by 0.023s with the McLarens proving dominant on the practice timesheet going into the crucial Sprint weekend's first qualifying session at 6.30pm, live on Sky Sports F1. It continued Norris' run of finishing ahead of Piastri in every session since Singapore GP qualifying three races ago, although the latter had held the advantage until the closing moments of practice on a weekend he attempts to rediscover his form after losing the leadership of the world championship by a point to the Briton two weeks ago in Mexico.

"He looked like he's back on his old form and settled into the track. It's very close between him and Norris. "But without question, Piastri is back on form." Unlike the papaya cars, Max Verstappen did not use the medium tyres during the session and finished down in an unrepresentative 17th place. The Red Bull driver, who trails Norris by 36 points in the standings, did briefly run on the quickest compound, the softs, late on but abandoned the lap having been half a second down on Piastri's then-benchmark after sector two. And while he avoided the pitfalls experienced by team-mate Yuki Tsunoda, who hit the barriers in the session's early minutes after a spin at Turn Four, Verstappen twice ran off track at the same corner with the RB21's handling seemingly not yet to his liking. Verstappen was joined towards the foot of the order by Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, who finished 18th and 19th fastest respectively after both spending the whole session on the hard compound. On his well-worn tyres, Hamilton had a late spin off track coming out of the downhill Mergulho with the Ferrari twice rotating a full 360 degrees before the Briton continued on his way without damage to his car. The same could not be said of Tsunoda, though, who damaged his Red Bull's front and rear wings when he lost control of the car after going over the kerb on the exit of right-handed corner that follows the backstraight. The Japanese driver missed the next 25 minutes of track action while the team completed repairs in the garage and eventually finished 20th fastest once he did rejoin, on soft tyres. With Verstappen and the Ferraris towards the foot of the order, Sauber finished with both their cars in the top five - Nico Hulkenberg third ahead of Brazil's own Gabriel Bortoleto in fifth, making his debut appearance at his home race - while Fernando Alonso was fourth for Aston Martin. Mercedes' George Russell, who claimed his maiden F1 win at the circuit in 2022, had set the session's early pace on hard tyres before slipping to sixth place. Alpine's Pierre Gasly, Williams' Carlos Sainz, Racing Bull's Isack Hadjar and Kimi Antonelli in the second Mercedes rounded out the top 10.

While police were frantically searching in Finsbury Park for wanted sex offender Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, locals were telling me where he was. Immediately after the dramatic arrest, filmed exclusively by Sky News we spoke to the North African man who tipped off the police. Nadjib had been on the lookout for the convicted sex offender, who had been spending time in different parts of north London since his release from HMP Wandsworth. He even had a folded-up newspaper clipping in his pocket so that he could check the picture himself. He told Sky News he was "very happy when he got arrested". "I don't like the sex offenders," he said. "I know him from the community. He has been around here every night since he was released from prison." Not only did he tip the police off about the prisoner's whereabouts, but he also witnessed the other high-profile manhunt that ended in the same park last month. Ethiopian asylum seeker Hadush Kebatu was also arrested in Finsbury Park after a 48-hour manhunt in the capital. He was then deported to Ethiopia. "When he [Kebatu] got arrested in the park I was there," Nadjib said. I asked him why both men ended up in the same park in north London. "Because the community, he came here for the community of Algerians," he said. Several Algerian people that I spoke to on Friday told me how shameful they thought it was that this sex offender was still on the run. "Job done," Nadjib said, before walking off.

David Wilkinson claims The Marbles settles one of the most divisive debates in cultural heritage: whether 19th-century diplomat Lord Elgin legally acquired the Parthenon Sculptures, better known as the Elgin Marbles. The film revisits how the sculptures were removed from the Parthenon in Athens while Greece was under Ottoman rule - and ended up in London. It argues that Lord Elgin did not legally acquire the artefacts - and instead, it amounts to "the greatest heist in art history". Actor Brian Cox, historian Dominic Selwood and solicitor Mark Stephens are among those who appear in the documentary. The British government bought the sculptures from Lord Elgin and installed them into the trusteeship of the British Museum, where they have remained for 200 years. "He needed the money from the British government to pay for all the bribes he'd given to members of the Ottoman Empire," Mr Wilkinson said of the transaction. "Lord Elgin did sell them ... but the question becomes, did Lord Elgin actually have the right to purchase them?" Classical archaeologist, Dr Mario Trabucco della Torretta dismisses Mr Wilkinson's claims. "The allegation of bribery to obtain the Marbles is just wrong in historical terms," he told Sky News. Dr Torretta was the key architect behind a joint letter that included former prime minister Liz Truss, historian Dr David Starkey and Sir John Redwood - alleging the British Museum is part of a "covert" and "accelerating campaign" to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece. Responding to Mr Wilkinson's claims of bribery, he added: "The only reference to 'presents' comes years after the start of the removals … do people presume that they run a 'bribe now, pay later' scheme back then in Constantinople?" One of the most contentious points in the debate is the legitimacy of an Ottoman permission document known as a "firman", which is claimed to have authorised Lord Elgin removing the items from Greece. There is only an Italian text referred to as a translation of this document. Mr Wilkinson said: "It was normal practice at the time that a copy would be kept in what was then Constantinople, and another copy would have been sent off to Athens. "There would be a record in Istanbul and the Turks have gone through it in great detail over many decades and they can find nothing." Speaking to Sky News in 2024, Dr Zeynep Boz, head of combating illicit trafficking for Turkey's culture ministry, said there is no proof of the firman in the Ottoman archive. "Despite extensive archival research, no such firman has been found. It is even difficult to call this document a translation when the original is not available," she said at the time. Dr Torretta offers an explanation: "Burning the Ottoman governor's archive was one of the first acts of the Greek revolution." While the arguments are not new, The Marbles also examines how other institutions have handled similar restitution cases. In the film, Cox says the marbles would have gone back to Athens already if they had found their way to Edinburgh and not London. Back in 2023, the National Museum of Scotland returned the House of Ni'isjoohl memorial pole to Canada. Meanwhile, Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum returned a shirt to the South Dakota Cultural Heritage Center in the US. And when it comes to the Parthenon Sculptures, Germany's Heidelberg University and the Vatican have both returned fragments to Greece. The British Museum Act 1963 prevents treasures from being legally given away by the British Museum. The government has repeatedly said it has no plans to change existing policy on restitution, and that it is up to the trustees of the museum to decide. A spokesperson for the British Museum repeated a statement given to Sky News in July: "Discussions with Greece about a Parthenon Partnership are ongoing and constructive." The documentary scrutinises the ethics of foreign national treasures that were taken and are now housed in Western museums, but as it stands the institutional and governmental answers don't appear to be changing. The Marbles is in UK and Irish cinemas from today.

Who is to blame for two more inmates being wrongly freed from prison? The Conservatives attempted a mic drop moment with David Lammy this week by trying to get the justice secretary to admit to it live in the House of Commons. So why did Lammy avoid the question five times? And when 262 prisoners were released by mistake in the year to March - how is this happening every week? At the very least, Harriet sees the saga as an opportunity for the government to sort out the prison service. Plus Beth, Ruth and Harriet are joined by pollster Luke Tryl, and a group of voters who tell us why they're not convinced by the prime minister so far. So how tricky is this budget going to be for Rachel Reeves when most people's top worry is the cost of living? Can she actually put up taxes? And will more people just end up supporting Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski? Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.

Since Littler surprisingly made the PDC World Darts Championship final in 2023 at just 16 years old, he has become the face of the sport. So anytime he loses it gathers traction. But Littler's defeat to Greaves also brought some well-deserved attention to the three-time women's world champion who will compete at the Grand Slam of Darts, live on Sky Sports. However, after Littler's sudden breakthrough, a question stands as to whether Greaves can do the same and claim a coveted spot in next season's Premier League.

Get instant access with NOW 📺 "Obviously I've watched all these players growing up and so it's nice [to get compliments from some of the top players]," Greaves said. "I can't imagine I would get into the Premier League unless I did have a crazy run [at the Worlds]. But, I mean, I wouldn't say no. "It's maybe a little bit much for me. But it'd make it a bit exciting, wouldn't it? "People are going on about the Premier League and it being a bit flat and boring. But I always end up watching it every week, so it'd be amazing to play in it. "I don't think I'd deserve it considering of all the other players that could get in, but it's nice that people say good things about me - I think it's dead sweet." This was prompted by Raymond van Barneveld backing the 21-year-old for a spot in the Premier League if she plays well at the World Championships after she secured a PDC Tour Card, which guarantees her place on the professional circuit for two years from the start of the 2026 season. "First of all, I'm so proud of her, you know, what she is doing. She's beaten me 6-4. She beat Luke Littler in the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship," said five-time world champion Van Barneveld. "That says it all. In the last leg, an 11-dart finish! How great is that? And trust me, she's going to cause trouble next year on the ProTour." Greaves was also praised by world No 1 Luke Humphries, who she gave a scare at the UK Open by taking a 7-5 lead before going on to lose. Humphries said Greaves "belongs in the big-time darts". Battle of the Sexes - or is it? Greaves has been drawn into the 'group of death' for the Grand Slam of Darts with Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and Niko Springer. The tournament begins on November 8, live on Sky Sports. Greaves' first game will be against three-time world champion Van Gerwen, who in 2017 tweeted "no" in response to someone asking him if he thinks there will ever be a woman player who can compete with the top men players. When asked about her thoughts on his comment now she will play MVG for the first time, she explained how it doesn't matter to her, also insisting "it's just darts". "I don't really care who I'm playing, I think I did a few years ago - I did last year," she said. "I was trying so hard to win and it was not happening. So I'm literally just going to go into it with an open mind and just stop being so negative. "I didn't realise how negative I'd been actually over the last few years so I'm just trying to be positive and happy and enjoy the game. "And obviously if you enjoy it and you practise and you work hard, then I think the results will come. It'd be amazing to win, to have a great run, but I'm also aware of how incredibly hard it is."
