Sterling, 31, also admitted to possessing six canisters of the class C drug, nitrous oxide, and failing to provide a specimen to police. He crashed the Lamborghini Urus SUV on the M3 southbound, close to the Minley Interchange in Hampshire, on 28 May. Police said no other vehicles were involved and there were no injuries. Sterling appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court and admitted dangerous driving on the M25, the M3, the A327 and Minley Road prior to the crash. He appeared in court wearing a black suit jacket, black trousers, black shoes and a dark top. Sterling played for Liverpool before switching to Manchester City in 2015, where he won four Premier League titles and helped the club break the league's points record. He transferred to Chelsea in 2022 and was loaned to Arsenal in 2024. However, his Stamford Bridge contract was terminated in January. After a brief stint with Dutch club Feyenoord, he's now without a club.

It comes after Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, claimed he had been taken off the British star's tour as pro-Palestinian comments he made on stage during a show in New Jersey prompted a backlash online, including from singer Pink. Now, after receiving criticism himself, a lengthy statement has been issued on Sheeran's official Instagram page. The singer-songwriter said he was "appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine" and described the "suffering and pain caused on both sides" as a human tragedy, but said he chooses not to speak about his own views publicly. "I am not complicit," the statement said. "I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care." Sheeran said his audiences often include children and young people "from all backgrounds", which is why he does not use the stage for politics. The statement also said the decision to remove Macklemore from the tour came from the promoter and was not his own. Following the show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, venues for upcoming concert dates got in touch to say they would pull the gigs if Macklemore was still involved, Sheeran continued, adding he was told this stance was based "on how Macklemore conveyed part of his message... rather than on everything that was said". Macklemore had been supporting Sheeran, 35, on the US leg of his Loop Tour. During the show in New Jersey, he told the crowd he wanted people in Gaza and the West Bank to know they had not been forgotten, which led to a petition demanding he be removed from the remaining dates. Pink was among those criticising his actions, writing on Instagram: "Last weekend he stood in front of a stadium full of music-loving families, with violent images from a war on the screens, dedicated a song to the movement of his choice, and then took the mic to tell all of the Jews in the stadium that it wasn't about them. "You don't get to decide that for us." After posting a video of himself on stage during the concert, Macklemore said on social media that "wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial". On Monday, he confirmed he had been taken off Sheeran's tour, and received support from artists including Kneecap, CMAT and Paloma Faith. Sheeran: 'I would never let down fans' Sheeran shared his own statement on Tuesday, saying it was "important to set out some facts". His statement said: "After Macklemore's performances at my New Jersey shows, venues on my upcoming tour dates communicated that they would pull the shows if he was still supporting. I was informed that this stance was based on how Macklemore conveyed part of his message during his performance, rather than on everything that was said. I spoke with the venues at length all week to try and build a bridge." One of these people was Robert Kraft, whose Kraft Group owns Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, where Sheeran is due to play later in September, the statement said. "I was also involved in direct talks with promoters along with activists on both sides to try and find a mutual resolution for all, but the venue's and promoter's decision was final," Sheeran continued. "Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine. Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, not me." The singer went on to say he would "never let down the fans who had made plans, nor would I abandon the touring crew and the other support acts and musicians who rely on me for work and to make a living". He continued: "I have always used my platform and music to bring people from all backgrounds and cultures together and this won't ever change... "There is a reason I do not use my professional platform for politics - my audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds. Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum." Sheeran said he respected Macklemore's "strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes" but that "there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace". He concluded by saying: "If we only focus on shouting the loudest, nothing will ever change. There are different approaches to being an advocate for change. "I have spent this week trying to build bridges, to find a solution and unfortunately, was unable to do so. I know who I am, both as a person and as an artist, and those who know my heart know my values too." In a statement provided on Monday to NBC News, Sky News' US partner network, Mr Kraft said the decision on his venues was reached following Macklemore's comments and "a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery that we believe has been deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community". He said: "This decision is not about diminishing the suffering of innocent Palestinians or denying anyone the right to advocate on their behalf. Their pain and loss are real." Macklemore's advocacy "should not come at the expense of the Jewish community or obscure the responsibility of Hamas," Mr Kraft added.

In a letter to Defence Minister Luke Pollard, the group of 18 MPs and one peer across three parties - Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens - said the bearskin caps sourced from Canada should be replaced with fake fur to "meet today's ethical standards", adding that real bearskin is "impossible to justify". "We call on you to instruct the Ministry of Defence and its suppliers to work proactively with manufacturers to develop and adopt a suitable faux fur alternative, in line with the government's commitment to advancing animal welfare," the letter continued, referring to Mr Pollard's previous opposition to real fur. "Most urgently, while this process continues, bears are still being shot with crossbows and killed, their cubs orphaned, and their pelts used to produce new caps," it concluded. According to FOI data obtained by animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), orders for the caps have risen from 22 in 2024 to 96 in 2025. The previous Conservative government said it had investigated a synthetic replacement, but no material had met the standards of real fur. A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: "The MoD backs replacing bearskin caps with a faux fur alternative and we have set five tests any alternative must pass. "We are happy resuming work with PETA on an alternative should they wish to re-engage."

Webb says he is "really disappointed" by the decision to award the goal, which was initially ruled out on the field due to Haaland being flagged offside. VAR then checked the incident and determined the striker was onside but failed to account for Enzo Fernandez impacting play from an offside position. Haaland's goal was a mistake - but why did it happen?Premier League fixtures & scores | FREE PL 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📺 Fernandez dived for the ball before it was steered home by Haaland, and despite severely hindering Lisandro Martinez and Senne Lammens, Fernandez's offside position was overlooked once the VAR officials had confirmed he had not touched the ball - even though a player can be offside without touching the ball. Webb told Mic'd Up: "The on-field decision was not against Fernandez; it was against Haaland. When the VAR starts their check, they see that Haaland is actually onside by three centimetres. "The VAR gets super focused on Haaland. He establishes he is onside but when he runs it through the full APP (attacking possession phase), he doesn't truly evaluate the full impact of Fernandez. "In that moment, he gets tunnel vision but it is down to the rest of his team to pull him out of that tunnel but unfortunately, that did not happen on this occasion. "This goal should have been disallowed." What the officials said... Assistant VAR: Enzo, Enzo. VAR: Possible offside. Assistant VAR: I'm going to go offside, Haaland. Referee: On-field decision is offside. VAR: Checking the on-field decision of offside against Haaland. He's tight. He's onside, so now we need to check the full attacking possession phase (APP). Haaland's in an onside position, but I need to check the full APP. Go back to see if [Iliman] Ndiaye is onside when it is flicked. Yes. Go, go, go, so it should be a goal. No touch there [from Enzo Fernandez], confirm no touch. Clear gap. It's not a touch there is it? Goal. Michael, confirming that you need to change your decision to goal. Haaland is in an onside position. Final decision is goal; check complete. Webb: VAR had 'tunnel vision' on Haaland and missed Enzo offside Pro Ref chief operating officer Howard Webb: "We felt it was important that we acknowledged an error in the situation. We know that Erling Haaland was penalised for offside and wasn't in an offside position. "We also know that Enzo Fernandez, who was in an offside position, almost certainly interfered with the Manchester United defence and probably the goalkeeper. "I was really disappointed with this outcome; we all were. None more than the officials. They take personal pride in what they do and they are hurting now after falling short in this situation. They will not be officiating until after the international break. "We have reached out to Manchester United and acknowledged the error, as we do when these things happen and they do not happen often. We want to ensure we are transparent and open. "We have played the audio and footage to the club to let them know what happened. We will review the situation to understand what elements of the process fell down in this situation which meant we didn't get to the right outcome. "Fernandez doesn't actually touch the ball, so he has not committed what we would call a factual offside offence of interfering with play. "But you can still be penalised even if you do not touch the ball. In this situation, as the ball comes across, we see Fernandez dive towards the ball and he gets close to it. "That impacts [Lisandro] Martinez; he cannot come and clear the ball. It probably impacts [Senne] Lammens as well, he cannot dive in the way he would or sets himself for potential contact from Fernandez. "It is impacting the defence in a couple of ways as a result of the actions he makes in the offside position." Analysis: If VAR can't get the easy ones right, why are we using it at all? Sky Sports' Laura Hunter: Pro Ref should not get a pardon for simply admitting their mistake on this one. A full-scale review into how is what they owe the players and clubs involved given it determined the outcome of the game. "VAR also deemed that while in an offside position, Enzo Fernandez didn't play the ball," is what the Premier League's match centre posted on X in real time. The offside rule appears to have been forgotten here, or at least the full extent of it. VAR do confirm "no touch" by Fernandez, but fail to recognise he is live in the move. That element is not subjective. The Man City midfielder clearly impacts both Lisandro Martinez and Senne Lammens and yet neither are mentioned. Nor does Michael Oliver question it. Does he communicate with the linesman to determine who was actually flagged offside? Was it Fernandez, Haaland or both? A chronological check of the incident with the correct laws applied would have simply finished with Fernandez. Instead, the video officials spent nearly three minutes presiding over a goal that most casual observers could determine should not have stood with just one replay. There are no excuses for such a catastrophic failing, but it's probably worth labouring the point that, if forensic technology cannot stamp out even the most basic of officiating mistakes, should we be using it at all? 'No one is hurting more than VAR officials - they're human' Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol: "I do have an element of sympathy for the VAR and his assistant - they made a mistake. A lot of football fans, particularly Man Utd supporters, will feel it is an unforgivable mistake. "If you are a VAR and officiating a game as big as the Manchester derby, you really should not be making mistakes of this magnitude. "But having said that, human beings are human beings. No one is hurting more than the VAR and his assistant. I imagine they've had sleepless nights over this and are replaying what happened over and over again for weeks and months to come. "Human beings make mistakes and on this occasion, two human beings made a really big mistake which I'm sure they're going to regret for a long time."

Roy Burnham, a former telephone engineer in his mid-eighties, had been living in a care home. Downing Street said the prime minister has cancelled his engagements for Monday and Tuesday. Politics hub: Follow the latest updates In an interview with The Times on the eve of taking office in July, Mr Burnham revealed the extent of his father's illness. Explaining that his dad was unaware of what was happening, Mr Burnham said: "That's a sadness because he would be [proud]. "The way I look at it, it's his achievement as well. A whole family achievement although he doesn't know it." The PM's experience is one of the driving factors in his plan to reform the social care system. In a major speech last month, he promised to help "my dad and the millions like him" faced with the unfairness of the current system. 'Losing your father is profoundly painful' Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is among the politicians who have offered condolences. "No matter how old you are, or how much you try to prepare, losing your father is a profoundly painful experience," she said. "A part of your life that has always been there is suddenly gone forever and it can feel as though a part of you won't ever be the same again." More from Sky News:Reform asked: 'Are you the new establishment?'Nationalist leaders declare deal Communities Secretary Angela Rayner said: "My thoughts are with Andy and his family at this terribly difficult - and sad time." In this House of Commons, Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said: "I am sure the whole House will want to send our best wishes to him and his family at this sad time." Michelle Dyson, CEO at the Alzheimer's Society, sent her "heartfelt condolences" in a statement issued on Monday afternoon. "The loss of a parent leaves an immeasurable gap in our lives," it read. "While every family's experience is unique, many of us understand the long and often challenging journey that Alzheimer's disease can bring, not only for the person living with the condition but for those who love them."

The Reds were held to their third draw across their opening four Premier League games following the 0-0 against Fulham at Anfield on Saturday and now sit in seventh place. They face a struggling Tottenham side in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday before Andoni Iraola returns to Bournemouth, with both games being shown live on Sky Sports ahead of the international break. "Unbeaten but unsatisfied," is how Sky Sports' Adam Bate described the performance against Fulham as an underwhelming start to the new season continued. Merson has echoed that sentiment while also raising concerns about Iraola, as well as big-money signings Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola. Transfer Centre LIVE! | Liverpool news & transfers🔴Liverpool fixtures & scores | FREE Liverpool 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📺 Read below for the Magic Man's thoughts as he also discusses the key problems causing the struggles at Tottenham, whether or not Aston Villa are genuine relegation contenders, and the gulf in quality Arsenal have created at the top of the table. 'Is Iraola finding it more difficult than expected?' I'm worried for Liverpool at the moment, in a way, because that was a bad result on Saturday. That was a very bad result. I don't know if the manager is finding it a bit more difficult than he probably would after making the jump from Bournemouth to Anfield. No disrespect to Bournemouth but if they draw at home to Fulham 0-0, it is not a problem. Liverpool draw at home to Fulham, it is headline news. That is what he's got to get used to as well. He's got to let the shackles off, open it up a bit. You watch the games now, every weekend that goes past, Man City and Arsenal are so far ahead of everybody else. It's mind-blowing how big the gulf is. Wirtz worry and was Barcola the right option for Liverpool? I don't know how long they can wait on Florian Wirtz. I'm a big fan of him, I think he's a special player. But it isn't working; it just isn't working. I don't know how long they can wait. I also like Bradley Barcola, but I'm not sure if he was what they needed. If you said to me, what's Barcola's game? He's quick. Now, you play at Liverpool, you don't really have to be that quick. You don't have to be like the fastest man in the Premier League. You've got to have a bit more. And at the moment, I am not sure. He'll have his games, don't get me wrong, but I think they needed someone with more guile. Mohamed Salah, when he ripped it up, had that guile and that is why he was so successful at the club. You don't just need pace at Liverpool. No one has a go at Liverpool. Everyone sits players behind the ball. There's no other tactics and that is a worry. Mindset and confidence is the key problem at Spurs The first 15, 20 minutes I thought they were outstanding [vs Everton]. I thought the way they passed it, moved it, it caused problems for Everton. But they didn't get that goal. And when they don't get that goal, then that mindset sets in again. I think they'd still be playing now [without scoring], wouldn't they? That is the problem. They need to score early. And confidence is the thing as well. I say any footballer, I don't care if you're under 10s or professional, if you can bottle one thing, it's confidence. And at the moment, they just haven't got that confidence and the belief. And that's the problem, that belief. Arsenal will defend title comfortably I think they will win the Premier League by double digits. I think they'll win it easy. I look at Arsenal's fixtures; Man City away, Man United away, Chelsea away, Liverpool away. After those four games, I don't know who's beating Arsenal. They're just a hard, hard team to beat. I don't see them losing a lot of football matches this season. The shackles are off a bit. No one can call Arsenal bottle jobs anymore. So the pressure is off. And they just play with that feeling like they've had an email through and told them, 'you know what the score is going to be already'. I just watched them against Villa, and you watch them against Sunderland, and there's no panic. They play, it's patient. They will score in the end and the opposition won't. That is the way they are at the moment. Are Villa genuine relegation contenders? No, no. I think they have too many good players, if I'm being honest. I think it was a terrible result against Nottingham Forest. It was worrying. They were dominating but couldn't score a goal. But I'd be shocked if they got relegated. They've got too many good players and they've got one of the best managers in the business. They're just having a little bit of a time at the moment. I do think this is a big game this weekend [vs Tottenham], though. It's a huge game. Down at the bottom, if you're down there, you're down there. I don't worry about Tottenham or Villa, but I think it's a big game for both teams because it's a momentum swinger. You win it, then you can kick on after the international break. It's a big football match. Watch Liverpool vs Tottenham in the Carabao Cup live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event from 7pm on September 15. Kick-off 9pm.
