They said 73 names supplied to them by concerned members of the public had been ruled out, while forensic tests and repeated public appeals have failed to lead to an identification. The body of the woman was found on 28 August inside a black bin bag in bushes in a walled garden in Stanley Park, between the Anfield and Goodison Park football grounds. It is believed she had been there for several weeks. Merseyside Police said: "To date we have been unable to identify the woman despite repeated public appeals. "Following forensic tests we have been able to establish a DNA profile for the woman but there is no match on the national DNA database. It has also not been possible to compare dental records." The force added: "So far, we have received 160 reports from members of the public and have eliminated 73 people from our enquiries after concerns were raised for people matching the description of the woman. "We are continuing to appeal for people to come forward with any information to help identify the woman." The woman is described as white, believed to be around 70 years old, approximately 5ft 2in tall and of slight build, with strawberry blonde hair. She was found wearing a pink Nike T-shirt. Detectives have been gathering CCTV and forensic evidence. They have also spoken to residents in 625 properties surrounding the park and recovered footage from 30 private and commercial cameras in the area. Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector John Fitzgerald said: "Our investigation remains ongoing and we remain determined to identity the woman and find the person or persons responsible for her murder. "We are actively pursuing every call we receive to ensure that people are seen to be safe and well and can be eliminated from our enquiries. "We are continuing to appeal for anyone who has been in the area of Stanley Park over recent weeks who has seen anything suspicious to contact us and also ask anyone who may have flown a drone over the park over the past couple of months to check their footage for anything significant."

Ed Milliband made a bold statement in the Commons this week - UK government sanctions on Israeli settlements. But is there more to the timing of this? Harriet makes the case for why it's principled rather than political, and Beth, Ruth and Harriet dig into another question underneath the policy - is this a rebuke of Keir Starmer, and did his government simply not move fast enough? And the response from Britain's Jewish community, and whether Ed Miliband needs to do more on this now. We also go further into Reform's woes, following on from our members' episode this week.

Pakistan's score at stumps actually represented somewhat of a recovery after their prospects looked even gloomier than the darkening skies overhead when reduced to 0-2 in Ollie Robinson's first over. Robinson (2-10) saw off Saim Ayub first ball - the opener, one of four players flown straight into the team after seven were axed from the touring squad, out for a pair - before Abdullah Shafique also nicked to the slips three deliveries later. Scorecard: England vs Pakistan, third Test at EdgbastonEngland vs Pakistan - as it happened on day two in BirmingamListen to episodes of the Sky Sports Cricket PodcastNot got Sky? Latest Sky Sports deals or stream cricket with no contract It means that Robinson now has 28 wickets across his four Test appearances this summer, taking them at a staggering 7.75 apiece. In this series that improves even further to 6.66. Joe Root's grab at slip to send back Shafique moved him one clear of Australia's Steve Smith and onto 220 in their personal battle to claim the most catches by an outfielder in Test cricket. The clatter of wickets didn't follow as it had in Pakistan's first innings, with Azan Awais (29no) and Shan Masood (21no) sharing a fifty stand before the rain arrived - albeit Masood was put down on 13 by Ben Duckett, his third spill of the Test, off the unfortunate Gus Atkinson. Brook, Lawrence and Smith all miss out with Test tons looming Earlier, England were bowled out for 452, earning a 320-run lead on first innings as Dan Lawrence (65), Jamie Smith (69) and Robinson (50) added half-centuries to those notched by Emilio Gay (60) and Harry Brook (75) on day one. Brook added 23 to his overnight total before he was the first wicket to fall on the second morning, just at the point where he and Dan Lawrence - who had stormed through to a 47-ball fifty - had seemingly broken Pakistan's spirits with 73 scored off the opening 10 overs of the day. The breakthrough was a gift, Brook practically running himself out as he called for a risky single to midwicket, where Masood did the honours with a direct hit. The scoring didn't slow as Smith joined Lawrence at the crease, the pair putting on 64 together before Lawrence was left kicking himself as he chopped one from Mohammad Imran (2-47) back onto his stumps just before lunch. Smith was the next through to fifty - off 54 balls - but failed to convert as, after Gus Atkinson (19) was bowled by a beauty from Imran, Smith chipped one back to the fired-up Razaullah (4-148). While he was okay to bat, Smith would later be absent from the field - Jordan Cox subbing in at wicketkeeper - with the regular gloveman nursing an injured finger from the first day. Robinson, hitting a second Test half-century, and Jofra Archer (32no) had some fun lower down the order, finding the boundary - or clearing it - with regularity as England pushed their total above 400 and lead beyond 300 before the innings was finally ended. Pakistan carried their increasingly timid approach in the field over into the start of their second innings, and a two-day finish briefly looked a possibility after Robinson's double strike in the first over, before Azan and Masood showed some much-needed resilience and the rain intervened. Lawrence 'gutted' to miss out on century Lawrence was "gutted" at blowing the prospect of a first international century. The 29-year-old, who made 51 at Headingley and 54 at Lord's in this series, said: "I'm obviously gutted that I didn't kick on and make a really big score, but I was pretty happy with how I did overall. "I felt like I was playing really nicely and it was a really good surface to bat on against the tiring attack. I thought I was going to make a really big score to be honest, but it wasn't meant to be. "I've missed out on two chances to make really big scores and really big contributions - at Headingley and here. "But I'm quite happy with how I've played. I've got three fifties in four innings (in this series), which is pretty good. I think if I was offered 65 at the start of the day, I'd have taken it." Meanwhile, seamer Robinson has been the star of the series with 21 wickets at a preposterous average of 6.66 - when he dismissed Shafique for the fifth time in six innings, it was 6.19 - and Lawrence, one of England's slip fielders, admitted the cordon have to be on red alert when the seamer is bowling. Lawrence added: "When he's bowling, when he's putting it in the same spot pretty much every ball, you always feel in the game. "The wickets have offered quite a lot to us as well and all the seamers. You certainly do feel in the game behind the stumps, especially when you've got someone pretty much at the peak of his powers." Nasser: Ayub shouldn't be here Sky Sports Cricket's Nasser Hussain: "Saim Ayub, in particular, struggled. The truth is he shouldn't be here. He came from the CPL [Caribbean Premier League] and hasn't played first-class cricket in 11 months. "I don't know who thinks it's the right thing to fly someone over from foreign conditions, and think they'll be fine in these conditions against a Duke's ball and Ollie Robinson's bowling attack? It's showing disrespect to Test match cricket. "The players who are here, their friends and room-mates have been axed. People who have got five-fors have been axed. "How you treat players is so important. It's a two-way thing when players are presented with a Test cap. You're expected to meet the core values of representing Pakistan, but the team needs to look after the players in return. "That goes the moment you send seven people home. People start looking after themselves. Why should I bother about a team that doesn't bother about me and has sent my team-mates home between Tests? "This Pakistan side, not only are they in poor form, they look like a team that says, 'what will be, will be', and just looks after itself."

The US company has published a lengthy report into AI misuse, including instances of malicious code and dangerous prompts it has discovered in its models. Between December 2025 and August 2026, Anthropic's researchers identified misuse by "politically motivated individuals, state-sponsored groups seeking to spread propaganda, and spyware companies". It blocked one request for Claude to help create a grant application for scientific funding into research to "create a new or enhanced biological property" of the chikungunya virus. The mosquito-borne virus triggers symptoms such as severe pain and fever, and the request sought to enhance mutations to make the virus more harmful. Anthropic said it could have been "used to make the pathogen more dangerous". None of the cases included in the report used the newer Claude Fable or Mythos-class models, except for one "industrial-scale, covert campaign to extract a model's capabilities and replicate them in another model without authorization". Anthropic said the older models, such as Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4.5, "were well below the threshold" to assist a user in carrying out dangerous biological research. The report said: "As a result, safeguards on these models were less stringent, directed mostly at preventing access to content that might uplift novices in recreating known bioweapons. "But for today's models - which are capable of assisting in a range of complex scientific research tasks - the evidence is no longer certain, and we cannot make that same assurance." Anthropic said it has implemented "stronger safeguards that restrict access to a wide range of dual-use biological research queries". Read more from Sky News:Timeline of 9/11US voters warned it's 'America or Trump' Experts have repeatedly called on governments to regulate AI themselves as the models become more sophisticated, rather than relying on the industry itself. Earlier this week, one of Anthropic's researchers, Jacob Coxon, announced he was resigning and said the company, along with its competitor OpenAI, "are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives". He also warned that some of his colleagues believe AI could threaten humanity by the end of the decade.

The broadcaster said it had done a "comprehensive review" earlier in the year and found a need for a "change in how the organisation operates". It said its new structure would "greatly reduce non-programming spend" and reduce management layers, simplify decision-making and remove duplication. The changes come nearly two years after it axed 200 roles under Alex Mahon's leadership. Current Channel 4 chief executive Priya Dogra - who joined from Sky in March - said the broadcaster was a "precious asset which plays a unique role in the UK". "We need to secure and own our future so we can continue to make shows others won't, reach audiences others can't, and thrive as a distinctive and disruptive British voice for future generations," she said. Ms Dogra said Channel 4 needed a "fundamental transformation in how we work" to deliver programmes audiences want to watch and "deliver its future strategy". She added: "I know the proposals we are announcing today will be very difficult for many colleagues and will have a significant impact across the organisation. Many talented people who have made an enormous contribution to Channel 4 will be leaving as a result." The cuts equate to 28% of the company's workforce. Read more:Hundreds more UK flights cancelledBody found in search for missing teen Ms Dogra said the job losses had not been taken lightly but were needed "to create a simpler, more focused and more sustainable Channel 4". Channel 4's chair, Geoff Cooper, said it would mean a "more sustainable and resilient organisation" that could maximise investment in content. A formal consultation with staff over the cuts will take place and the broadcaster said more details on its future strategy would be shared in the coming months.

At his first meeting with Co-operative Labour MPs, the prime minister pointed to the Supporters Direct organisation he chaired early in his career and said the government should "look to work on it again", sources who were present told Sky News. Supporters Direct helped set up more than 200 supporters trusts for football clubs, giving fans a voice and financial stake in how they operate. The movement saved many clubs from ruin with around 50 football clubs now fully or partially fan-owned, including EFL clubs AFC Wimbledon and Exeter. Under fan-owned models, financial surplus is traditionally reinvested back into the club rather than paid out as dividends to outside shareholders. No clubs operate this way in the Premier League but it has been praised as a solution to stop exploitation lower down in the game. One MP present at the meeting said fan-owned sport was "definitely a personal passion" of the prime minister, although they conceded the "list of pressing issues is a long one". Another said: "I think it is a passion and he saw the value around Supporters Direct. Definitely an appetite for change from the PM and MPs." Mr Burnham, a life-long Evertonian, supported the inception of Supporters Direct when working as a special adviser in Tony Blair's government and chaired the body between 2001 and 2005 after being elected as the MP for Leigh. In a book about the commercialisation of football published in 2001, he wrote: "I have always believed that football clubs belong more to their supporters than their shareholders. Some people have bits of paper to say they own a club's assets - stadium, training ground, brand - but the heart and soul of every club is the property of its fans." He has used similar language in response to the row over the World Cup sell-off plan. While it's not clear how the prime minister might take fan ownership forward formally, he is understood to have taken an interest in a recent report by the Co-operative Party, which proposed creating a "Supporters Direct 2.0". The initial body was amalgamated with other organisations in 2018 to create the Football Supporters' Association, which advocates for football supporters in England and Wales. However, the Co-op report says that while there have been strides to strengthen the voice of fans, such as the Independent Football Regulator, an explicit focus on ownership has been lost. Their report proposed a new agency that would provide support for fan ownership beyond football, highlighting increasing financial instability afflicting Rugby Union, Rugby League and cricket. Cricket clubs have traditionally operated as member owned, but a number of high-profile clubs are exploring breaking away from that model. Sceptics of fan-owned structures argue that while they can protect community roots and keep prices down, they can often struggle to compete with billionaire-owned clubs and attract financing. One Labour source said they were "unsure fan ownership is feasible at the top level". It is understood there is not active DCMS work to expand fan-and community owned sports clubs. Grassroots clubs The Co-operative's report also said the new agency could help communities take over grass roots local sports clubs to save them from closing down due to financial pressures. It pointed to the recently passed Community Right to Buy, which gives community groups a first right of refusal when eligible assets become available to buy, including sports clubs. The report suggested funding the agency through a partnership between government and professional sport, similar to the initial Supporters Direct. The Co-operative Party is a sister party to the Labour Party and advocates for businesses owned by local customers and staff. Around 40 Labour MPs are dual members, including Mr Burnham, making him the UK's first Co-operative prime minister. The party is led by Joe Fortune, a close ally of the PM's who is tipped to be in the running to be Labour's next general secretary. If confirmed, that could indicate a greater push toward co-operative models of ownership. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds is also a Co-op MP. Caitlin Prowle, assistant general secretary of the Co-operative Party said clubs "across sport are facing financial precocity". She told Sky News: "We need to think seriously about who owns our sporting assets and who gets a say in their future. "Andy Burnham was a driving force in shifting sports ownership during the last Labour government and now he has the opportunity to do it again, with a renewed focus on co-operative ownership that puts fans and communities in control." A DCMS spokesperson said: "This government is firmly on the side of fans. We set up the independent football regulator to put supporters back at the heart of our national game and it is now written in law that they must have a say in major decisions at their clubs."

Emilio Gay (60) and Harry Brook (52no) each struck fifties in the final session to rescue England from 39-3 after their own top-order wobble, in which Joe Root (8) was pinned lbw for a 10th time in 13 innings by Pakistan's hugely-impressive debutant pacer Razaullah (2-42). Root had earlier opted to insert the visitors at the toss in overcast conditions, but it wasn't long before his side were preparing to bat anyway, as Pakistan lasted just 33.5 overs - their shortest innings in a series full of disappointing batting displays. Scorecard: England vs Pakistan, third Test at EdgbastonEngland vs Pakistan - as it happened on day one in BirmingamListen to episodes of the Sky Sports Cricket PodcastNot got Sky? Latest Sky Sports deals or stream cricket with no contract Seven wickets fell in a chaotic morning session which saw Ollie Robinson (3-15) claim his 100th in Test cricket, before the innings was wrapped up soon after lunch. Josh Tongue finished with 4-42, dismantling the stumps of Pakistan captain Babar Azam (7), Mohammad Imran (5) and lone bright spark Saud Shakeel (43), while Jofra Archer proved potent once more, taking 3-25. The tourists failed to bat out a full 90 overs - the equivalent of a day's play - across their two innings in either of the first two Tests, and they will struggle to buck that trend barring a stunning turnaround this week. Pakistan's squad overhaul feeds into chaotic first innings Pakistan's 194-run defeat at Lord's, which saw them lose the series with a match to spare, prompted an unprecedented overhaul of their squad and coaching staff prior to the series finale in Birmingham. Seven players were dropped from the squad altogether, with four changes made to their starting XI and three of the newcomers making their Test debut. The only one with prior experience was opener Saim Ayub who, while no doubt grateful for the call-up, must have been wondering what he'd got himself into when trapped for a 10-ball duck by Robinson in only the third over. Robinson also removed Abdullah Shafique (3) caught in the gully, the wicket sandwiched between a couple of freebies for Archer handed out by scrambled Pakistan batters - Azan Awais (9) and Shan Masood (5) both spooning simple catches to midwicket, the latter's particularly galling, as the visitors slipped to 26-4. Tongue then produced the prototypical fast bowler's delivery, angling in, nipping away and knocking back the top of off stump to see off Babar, while he added debutants Ghazi Ghori (4), lbw, and Imran, to a devastating yorker, prior to lunch. Razaullah (11), much like he would do later with his bowling, caught the eye with a couple of hefty swings of the willow either side of lunch before nicking Robinson to Ben Duckett, who made amends for a couple of earlier drops in the slips - Azan, three deliveries prior to his dismissal, and Saud when on seven. Saud was next to be castled by Tongue, before Mohammad Abbas (21) and Mohammad Ali (5no) hung around and showed a great deal more fight than some of their top-order team-mates to add 26 for the final wicket - the highest partnership of a miserable innings. Ali had taken a painful blow on the ankle when batting, but was fit enough to open the bowling and claimed the early wicket of Duckett (11), flashing an edge to second slip in the fourth over. Jordan Cox (4) wasted a review on a plumb lbw decision against Abbas, before Root departed to Razaullah's fourth delivery in Test cricket, a devastating nip-backer from the 21-year-old talent. Gay and Brook rebuilt impressively, sharing a 104-run partnership for the fourth wicket that pushed England into the lead before Razaullah returned to bowl the former off an inside edge. Tongue chuffed with wobble-seam success on first day England fast bowler Josh Tongue, speaking to Sky Sports Cricket: "Really pleased with the day. Coming here this morning, winning the toss, putting Pakistan in to bat, then bowling them out for 130-odd, we're in a really strong position. "Even a couple of days out it looked a good pitch, so to bowl them out cheaply on a decent-looking pitch, I thought we bowled really well. "There's probably a tiny bit of pressure on us to make sure we put the balls in the right areas, but how we started today, with Archer and Robinson getting them four down... it meant that when I came on, I thought I could be aggressive with that line and length. "I've been working on a wobble in the nets this week, and that came out nice. I spoke to Robbo quite a bit about it; it's just trial and error. "I tried it, and it got me a wicket! "I thought as a collective we've been very good the whole series, and we showed that again today." 'X-factor Razaullah the bright spark Pakistan needed' Sky Sports Cricket's Nasser Hussain: "Pakistan have been calling out for something different from their bowlers for a long while. "It is nice to watch that spell from Razaullah that had something, that had a point of difference, had some pace. "It hurried one of the greatest batters there has ever been in Joe Root, and got him out." Sky Sports Cricket's Urooj Mumtaz: "Twenty-one-years-old, first time on a plane out of Pakistan, onto a cricketing tour and he gets one of the greatest of all time with his fourth delivery! "89mph and then just ramped it up to 91mph. And the best part was that the pace throughout his spells did not drop. "An inspired selection. They just needed that X-factor.
