Officers from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary were sent to the town on Tuesday to police a peaceful protest. Police arrested six people, and on Wednesday said three individuals had been charged. Shannon Dodds, 32, of Gosport, has been charged with two counts of assault by beating of an emergency worker. Sally Pearson, 31, also from Gosport, has been charged with assault by beating of an emergency worker and a racially aggravated public order offence. Both have been remanded into custody to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court on Thursday. Toby Matthews, 33, of Forton Road, Gosport, has been charged with common assault of an emergency worker. He has been bailed to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court on 9 November. Meanwhile, a 19-year-old man and a 36-year-old man from Salisbury, Wiltshire, who were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass, have been bailed until 22 December. A 67-year-old man from Gosport was handed a fixed penalty notice for driving without due care and attention. Police said he was also arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker. He has also been bailed until 22 December. Some of the demonstrators in Gosport wore black clothing and face coverings, and chanted "send them back", wrongly assuming the boat would be guided to the Hampshire coast. The vessel had in fact docked in Dover, Kent, at about 12.30am on Wednesday, after 51 migrants on board reportedly refused assistance from a French ship and spent 33 hours at sea. In a video published on X on Wednesday morning, far-right campaigner Daniel Thomas said of the latest migrant arrivals that it was a "sad day for the country", but argued that pressure from demonstrators "worked in some respects" because it stopped arrivals coming into Gosport. Meanwhile, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on Wednesday ordered an "urgent review" after the Border Force failed to intercept a second migrant boat in two days before it reached the Kent coast. Border Security Command has detained 21 people following a boat arrival on the beach of Samphire Hoe, Dover, on Tuesday afternoon, and the Home Office has not said whether more people are being sought. It comes after a dinghy made it to shore at Folkestone on Monday morning, which was the first undetected arrival for over a year. In a statement on Wednesday, Ms Mahmood described the undetected crossings of two small boats this week as "not acceptable" and said the Border Security Command is investigating. "Our improved monitoring has led to uncontrolled crossings becoming incredibly rare. But even one is one too many," the home secretary said. "That is why I have ordered an urgent review by the Border Security Command into how this happened, and what must be done to ensure it doesn't happen again."

The former film producer had initially been found guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley and raping an aspiring actress, Jessica Mann, at his first trial in New York in 2020. That ruling was overturned in 2024, along with his 23-year prison sentence, after the state's highest court - New York Court of Appeals - concluded he did not get a fair trial. A Manhattan jury convicted Weinstein of sexually assaulting Ms Haley at a second trial in June 2025. They also found him not guilty of assaulting former model Kaja Sokola. A fourth New York trial over the alleged rape of Ms Mann was dropped, after a third trial ended in a mistrial when the jury said it was deadlocked. Ms Haley addressed the court Wednesday just before Weinstein was sentenced. "Having been sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein has had a devastating effect on my life and sense of security that may never go away," Ms Haley said. "Making the decision to speak up will have me looking over my shoulder for years to come. It's a life sentence for me." Weinstein apologised in court to those he may have hurt. "I do have remorse for Miriam Haley's pain, but I have to reiterate my innocence," he told the judge while seated in a wheelchair. Judge Curtis Farber said Weinstein was once a king in the movie industry, "but recognition for these achievements will pale in comparison to what you did". He said Weinstein is now known as "a sexual predator, the literal face of the MeToo movement". The judge added: "You took what you wanted by force, and you have never accepted responsibility." He said Weinstein's 15-year sentence will be followed by five years of supervised release and a requirement that he register as a sex offender. Weinstein ​was convicted of rape in California in 2022 and is serving ​a 16-year prison sentence. He is set to be resentenced in LA after an appeals court threw out his original sentence.

Claims against the film mogul were a major driver for the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and abuse in 2017. Weinstein has denied raping or sexually assaulting anyone. Once he has been sentenced, he can appeal.

Border Security Command has detained 21 people following a boat arrival on the beach of Samphire Hoe, Dover, on Tuesday afternoon, and the Home Office has not said whether more people are being sought. It comes after a dinghy made it to shore at Folkestone on Monday morning, which was the first undetected arrival for over a year. Chris Philp, shadow home secretary, called it a "day of despair for the Labour government". Politics latest: UK to review Chagos deal after Trump criticism In a statement on Wednesday, Ms Mahmood described the undetected crossings of two small boats this week as "not acceptable" and said the Border Security Command is investigating. "Our improved monitoring has led to uncontrolled crossings becoming incredibly rare. But even one is one too many," the home secretary said. "That is why I have ordered an urgent review by the Border Security Command into how this happened, and what must be done to ensure it doesn't happen again." Ms Mahmood went on to say the smugglers who arrange the illegal crossings have adopted "new tactics", taking migrants on "increasingly long and dangerous crossings" to reach UK shores. She also said the government's efforts to stop crossings entirely "are having an impact" by "making it much harder for gangs to launch vessels" and "forcing them to change their approach". The thousands of migrants crossing the Channel are usually brought to shore by Border Security Command or RNLI boats. Such uncontrolled landings are extremely rare. Before Monday, there was only one small boat arrival without an escort - in September 2025 - since the start of 2023. Prior to that, figures on these types of incidents were compiled by the Ministry of Defence and were not routinely reported. The Home Office has launched an urgent review by Border Security Command into this week's beach landings, the department said. A government spokesperson said on Wednesday: "Border Security Command officers alongside Kent police have been responding to an incident in Dover. "Twenty-one individuals have already been detained under a swift enforcement response. "There is a thorough investigation ongoing and it would be inappropriate to comment further." Mr Philp added: "Our border security has descended into chaos with illegal immigrants crossing at will over ever larger distances and in ever larger boats. "This latest fiasco shows that the French are not even trying to stop the illegal immigrants' boats in French waters, instead they are escorting them here. "What's more, there have been two uncontrolled migrant landings in a week. It is a complete free for all - the Labour government have no idea who is coming into the country. "The only way to stop Channel crossings is to deport anyone who arrives illegally to their home country or a safe third country. That's the only way we can end this madness." Meanwhile, a man believed to be a migrant was found dead on a beach in northern France on Wednesday, and an investigation has been launched by the French authorities, a spokesperson for the Pas-de-Calais prefecture said. French media reports the investigation will examine whether the death was linked to an attempted crossing of the English Channel. Local outlets said the man, thought to be in his 20s, was found hours after a small boat departed for the UK, and while other migrants hoping to make the journey remained in the nearby dunes. More from Sky News:RAF aircraft crashes in WalesOasis announce more shows A total of 17,784 migrants have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel in small boats so far this year, including 5,315 since Andy Burnham became prime minister in July. The total so far for 2026 is down 45% on the same point last year.

Hadjar stepped up to Red Bull at the start of this year after an impressive debut campaign with Racing Bulls in 2025 but has missed the last three rounds due to a wrist injury he suffered during last month's summer break. But the 21-year-old is now fit enough to drive and is back at this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which takes place on Saturday - live on Sky Sports F1.

Latest Sky Sports deals or stream F1 with no contract 📺 Red Bull had already announced last month that four-time world champion Verstappen signed a new contract to stay at the team until at least the end of 2030. "We're very excited to continue our journey with Isack. Since joining us at the start of the year, he has been superb on and off track, especially considering this is only his second Formula 1 season, which made extending his contract an easy decision," said Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies. "From the very beginning, Isack immersed himself in the team, spending every minute at the factory with his engineers to develop the car, always eager to learn and improve. "You could see from that first weekend in Melbourne that he handled the step up with remarkable composure and had earned his place in this seat." The second Red Bull seat alongside Verstappen is widely regarded as the toughest on the F1 grid after several drivers including Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda all struggled against the Dutchman. But, Hadjar has been closer to Verstappen than those drivers and has even got the better of his team-mate at times this season, so his seat has not come under scrutiny. Despite missing the last three race weekends, Hadjar is still eighth in the Drivers' Championship and reclaimed his Monaco Grand Prix podium after Red Bull and McLaren successfully appealed Gasly's overturned speeding penalties. "The period since his injury has been a difficult one for Isack, but this extension is a testament to how much we believe in him and we can't wait to see him back out on track," continued Mekies. "We still have a lot we want to achieve this season, but it's a great feeling to know that the drivers, engineers and everyone back at the factory are all heading in the same direction, committed and together." Hadjar added: "I am really excited to continue with Oracle Red Bull Racing. I came to this team eight months ago and immediately understood the scale and ambition of this organisation. "There are so many talented people at the factory, and you're aware of the privilege of driving for such an incredible team alongside a four-time world champion like Max. "From the moment I signed, I set out to dedicate myself to the team, and with the support of Laurent and everyone in Milton Keynes, I've been able to justify the faith they've had in me. I'm constantly looking to listen, learn and push myself further every single day about what lies ahead." 'If you're good, you stay' - Hadjar on extended deal and injury return Speaking to the media later on Wednesday in Baku when appearing in the Drivers' Press Conference, Hadjar said he had been completely relaxed about the contract renewal discussions - even claiming he did not know how long the deal was for. "I didn't even talk about it. You know, I let my people do the talking for me," he said. "I do it [the talking] on the track and that's about it. So yeah, it was very easy." And asked whether it was a mufti-year term, Hadjar replied: "I actually don't know. I don't care. Yeah, but, you know, if you're good, you stay, and that's it." The Frenchman also spoke about the nature of his wrist injury and how his rehabilitation had gone. "I have a small fracture outside of the wrist and it's just quite a long process," he said. "I didn't need any surgery, so it's all natural and it takes some time. It's still going to be painful for a while, but now it's going to be six weeks soon and, you know, it says that it's strong enough at the moment to resist the tensions. "I had a test on the sim, it went well. So, you know, I think it's a similar environment to the cockpit. It's actually, if anything, nearly identical. So, if it's fine on the sim, with the adrenaline on track and everything, I think I should be okay. "The training sessions have not been fun because I've been doing basically nothing with the left limb. So yeah, it's been a bit boring." Hadjar's injury was sustained during a routine workout that involved boxing. He said Red Bull had not placed any new restrictions on his training programme as a result, but admitted he needed to just "think twice" in future. "No. I mean, next time I'll just be more careful," he said. "You know, maybe strap myself and, yeah, that's it. It happens. There are no restrictions. I'm not five years old, so I just need to think twice before." What's left to play out in the F1 driver market? F1's current top four teams - Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull have now all locked in their driver line-ups for 2027 with no changes. Alpine, Williams and Cadillac's drivers are all under contract for 2027 while Audi are set to keep their pairing of Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg. That leaves Racing Bulls, Haas and Aston Martin as the only teams yet to nail down their drivers for next year - but there could be changes. Fernando Alonso is considering his future in the sport and is the biggest stumbling block in the driver market because if he retires, Aston Martin will have a seat available. Alonso says news "will not come soon" as he's unhappy with the current regulations in F1 which led to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem commenting he wants to accelerate the deficit of Aston Martin's engine supplier Honda. Britain's Oliver Bearman is set to stay at Haas but his team-mate Esteban Ocon could be without a seat as Haas are expected to give Ferrari junior Rafael Camara his F1 debut for 2027 after an impressive Formula 2 campaign for the Brazilian. The current F2 championship leader is Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov and history shows Red Bull are keen to give youngsters an F1 opportunity at the earliest opportunity. However, Red Bull have a tricky decision to make as both current Racing Bulls drivers of Arvid Lindblad and Lawson are performing very well this year, so dropping one of them would be harsh.

Merseyside Police identified them as Elisha Brabin, 36, Leo Brabin, 16, Ellis Brabin, eight, and seven-year-old Prudence Brabin. The family said they have suffered an "unimaginable" loss following Tuesday's blaze. In a tribute issued through police, they said: "Our whole family is devastated by the loss of Elisha, Leo, Ellis and Prudence. "Elisha was our beloved daughter, wife, mother, sister, auntie, niece and cousin. She was a devoted and loving mother who lived for her children. They were her whole world, and she meant everything to us. "Our beautiful babies, Leo, Ellis and Prudence, were loved beyond measure and brought so much joy, happiness and love to our family. They filled our lives with laughter and precious memories that we will cherish forever. "The tragic loss of Elisha and our three precious children has left us heartbroken. They have all been taken from us far too soon. The loss we are experiencing is unimaginable, and the impact on our family will be felt forever." Firefighters were called to the house on Stone Square at 3.38am on Tuesday. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said the four victims were found in an upstairs bedroom of the semi-detached home by crews who went in to tackle the fire. One person found outside the property was taken to hospital with burns. Chief fire officer Nick Searle, of the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, said it was an "intense fire which spread very rapidly". Six engines were on scene at the height of the blaze and eight firefighters entered the house, said a spokesperson. "I heard shouting in the early hours but I just thought someone was having an argument," said a neighbour. "Then I came downstairs and saw all the fire engines." Police and firefighters are jointly investigating the cause of the blaze. A GoFundMe page has raised more than £5,000 for the family. Neighbour Loti Nambombe, who set up the fundraiser, said: "Everybody just wants to do something to help, that's our duty as neighbours and as a community." He said funds could go towards funeral costs or anything else the family needed. Flowers have been left at the scene as members of the local community paid their respects. A number of soft toys were laid on the pavement next to a police cordon, along with candles, star-shaped balloons and photo frames with images of the family. One card displayed the message: "God bless you all. Heartbroken to hear about the devastating fire." Another said: "Sleep tight. Forever in our hearts."

The band, led by Noel and his brother Liam Gallagher, will return to Knebworth, more than 30 years after their historic gigs at the Hertfordshire park, on September 11, 12, 18, 19 - and now 25 and 26 - in 2027. They have also added another date in Rome on 26 July, and one in Munich on 6 July. In a post on social media, the band said the extra shows were because of "phenomenal demand". The band previously announced 11 dates at the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City, as well as shows at Knebworth and in Glasgow, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas, and Slane Castle in Ireland. The Paris dates at the Stade de France have been changed to 20 and 23 July due to rail engineering works near the venue on the 24th. Following the announcement of the Live 27 world tour, Noel ruled out making new music with the band. Speculation about another tour had been building for months, ramping up considerably around the 30th anniversary of the Knebworth shows, which saw the band playing to 250,000 people in August 1996. Coming at the height of Oasis's fame, it is estimated that more than 2.5m people applied to go to the two gigs, breaking box office records at the time. Registration for fans wanting to purchase tickets is now closed. Successful applicants will be sent a unique, non-transferable code to access an allocated on-sale window. In the UK, ticket sales will take place on 25, 26 and 27 September, with three selling windows each day. Fans will be informed directly which window they can access, and at what time. Last week, the tour promoters announced a new approach to live music at Knebworth. There will be additional transport and accommodation provisions at the venue, including rail and coach options, as well as a purpose-built campsite village. Fans have been advised not to drive to Knebworth and to instead consider the transport options provided. More from Sky News:Ed Sheeran has 'difficult dilemma', says StingHayden Panettiere's cause of death revealed The band reunited last year for their Live 25 tour, which sold out within minutes of tickets going on sale, and was estimated by Forbes to have generated more than £293m in revenue. For Live 25, the Gallagher brothers were joined by guitarists Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Gem Archer, bass player Andy Bell and drummer Joey Waronker. The highly anticipated reunion came after a long-standing feud between the siblings when the band split in 2009 - reportedly prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France. The band have had eight UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums, with Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Roll With It among their best-known hits.

Is Britain about to re-engage with the world in a more meaningful way than any time in the past decade? After a frantic 24 hours in New York, Andy Burnham declared to the UN: "Britain is back." But what does that mean in practice? And after a rebuke over rhetoric on Russia from Donald Trump, is the new PM taking a different stance to Moscow from his predecessor? Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy unpack the PM's message on Ukraine, the US and the future of AI - and ask whether these themes will shape his first Labour conference speech as prime minister.

His task now is to turn champions into serial winners. Arteta has overseen a total transformation of the club since his appointment in 2019. Arsenal, 10th in the Premier League table when he took over, were in a state of drift. Now, they are re-established among Europe's elite, unrecognisable in all departments. Arteta has joined a select group of 13 managers to have won the Premier League. He now has the chance to join an even smaller group, made up of only Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger, by winning it more than once. Mikel Arteta agrees new contract as Arsenal managerTransfer Centre LIVE! | Arsenal news & transfers🔴⚪Arsenal fixtures & scores | FREE Arsenal 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📺 Securing a first Champions League, after guiding Arsenal to only their second final last term, is another chance for immortality. The agreement over his new contract, described as an "utmost priority" by co-chair Josh Kroenke in May, reflects the club's belief that they are in the best possible hands. It also gives Arteta the chance to get closer to Guardiola's longevity at Manchester City. The club feel the departure of Arteta's old mentor from City, coupled with instability elsewhere, presents an opportunity to capitalise. Arsenal are in their "win window", to quote Kroenke. "We think we have a chance here to dominate," he said in May. Arteta's task has been made harder by the failure to add a level-raising forward in the summer. But his squad is replete with players in or approaching their peak years, between 24 and 28, now with the added experience of having won major silverware. The group look well-set to build on their success. But Arteta, the rookie head coach-turned elite manager whose work other clubs now strive to emulate, might be Arsenal's biggest asset of all, which is why the news of his contract agreement is so significant. Who better to nurture the culture which has underpinned their success than the man who painstakingly implemented it? Arteta ensures stability, allowing Arsenal to operate from a position of strength. "Getting the foundations in place is usually the hardest part of the journey," added Kroenke. His tenure has been a story of steady improvement, both domestically, where Arsenal have ended a 22-year wait for the title, and in Europe, where they have gone from Champions League quarter-finalists, to semi-finalists, to runners-up in three years. But there is work to do to sustain the trajectory. Their defeat to Brighton highlighted room for improvement. It felt like a slap in the face to Arsenal, largely because it was so uncharacteristic. Arteta's side, defined by their steeliness, hadn't lost a Premier League game by a margin of three goals since 2023. Arteta will hope to use the result as a wake-up call, and a reminder to his players that there can be no room for complacency in their efforts to retain their crown. "This is a big lesson for all of us to understand what it takes to win at this level," he said. He might even come to be grateful for it. Arsenal went into the season as most people's favourites to win the title. But only a handful of sides have gone back-to-back in the Premier League era. Arsenal haven't managed it since the 1930s. History shows the enormity of the task ahead of them. Part of the challenge for Arteta is to continue evolving the team. Heavily impacted by injuries to their best attacking players for a second consecutive season last term, Arsenal leaned into their defensive and set-piece prowess to get over the line in the title race. They remain a formidable outfit on both fronts. Clearly, there is still work to do in the transfer market to bring their attack up to the same level. For now, though, Arteta must get more from what he has, helped, at least, by a far clearer injury list. It is worth noting that the last time he had Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka fit for a full season, in 2023/24, Arsenal broke a club record for goals. The trio, together again at last, scored 10 goals in their first seven games of the campaign. More broadly, there have been signs of a return to a more possession-orientated playing style, and a greater desire to control games with the ball rather than without it. It is of course still early in the campaign to make definitive judgements. But Arsenal's numbers are up for possession, passes and passes in the final third compared to last season. Most interestingly, they are attempting nearly twice as many build-up attacks, defined as open-play passing sequences of 10 or more passes leading to a shot or touch in the opposition box. The Brighton gamed showed teething problems as they struggled to play through their opponent's press, repeatedly landing themselves in trouble. But for the most part Arsenal have looked a more cohesive and purposeful outfit in their attacking play. They trail Manchester City by three points in the Premier League table but the underlying data, usually the strongest indicator of future success, has them as the best-performing team again this season, despite what happened against Brighton. There has been less reliance on set-pieces. All but one of their 16 goals in all competitions this season have come from open play, the only exception being Saka's late penalty in their win over Sunderland. There was further evidence of increased offensive threat in their Champions League opener against Napoli, when they attacked relentlessly, only scoring once but generating 4.05 expected goals, their highest figure on record in the competition. The club will have to use future transfer windows to complete his squad. But the continued emergence of academy products, with Max Dowman and Marli Salmon the latest to benefit from the environment now in place at London Colney, offers further encouragement as Arteta's tenure enters a new era.
