Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a ceasefire after the continued fighting in Lebanon threatened to derail Donald Trump’s agreement with Iran. Negotiations on the next phase of that deal had been due to start in Switzerland on Friday, but they were postponed with Iran complaining that Israel’s offensive breached the memorandum of understanding signed this week. The terms of the agreement, perceived by many as favourable to Iran, have come under fire in the US and Israel.

British Transport Police say they are responding to reports of a “collision involving two trains” near Bedford – with fire and rescue teams on the scene.

We spoke to the former editor of Conservative Home Tim Montgomerie who has joined Reform UK.

The Tories have been celebrating winning their first Scottish by-election for more than 50 years. In Aberdeen South, Conservative Douglas Lumsden picked up just short of 50 per cent of the votes – well ahead of the SNP’s Richard Thomson on 28.6 per cent. Reform was a distant third. This represented a big swing from the last general election from the SNP to the Conservatives.

What was it like for Makerfield’s voters – to be in the midst of a political goldfish bowl where every opinion writer and broadcaster in the country had something deeply profound to say?

We spoke to Labour MP Luke Charters about Andy Burnham’s Makerfield by-election win, and his possible challenge to Keir Starmer’s leadership.

We spoke to the Environment secretary, the cabinet minister Emma Reynolds and I began by asking her whether the talk of the party ‘coming together’ might actually mean coming together under a new leader.

This weekend Keir Starmer is talking to his cabinet, his staff and Labour MPs as it seems his premiership is hanging by a thread. Andy Burnham’s blowout victory in Makerfield has delivered the promised hope to at least one group of people: Labour MPs who were despondent about their future – Reform no longer looks unassailable. For now an uneasy standoff has developed with Burnham and his allies saying they are giving the Prime Minister time to consider his future, while Keir Starmer

Andy Burnham has won a thumping victory in Makerfield, proving he can, in certain circumstances, beat Nigel Farage’s Reform UK – but what about beating his own party leader Sir Keir Starmer? The prime minister says he will stand and fight any leadership challenge. So, where does it leave the country? Will Starmer be forced to stand down, despite his defiant tone now? And what will happen if there is a leadership election? On this episode of The Fourcast Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by Ke

It’s been seven years since the acclaimed 2019 sci-fi game Control and Remedy Entertainment is back with the bold sequel Control Resonant. The sequel follows Dylan Faden, brother of the first game’s protagonist Jesse, who discovers an extradimensional entity has escaped from the secret government facility, the Oldest House, and has created a warped vision of Manhattan.

By that time, most of us in the room knew the outgoing Mayor of Greater Manchester would be heading back to Westminster. The whispered briefings from his allies had become increasingly confident in the previous hours as the votes were being counted. ‘Wow moment’ As the 14 candidates lined up on stage, Andy Burnham took up his place between a man dressed as a bin and

Some of the most unforgettable scenes in movie history rarely made it to the screen, not because they were bad, but because they cost too much. Massive practical effects, difficult locations, endless retakes, and ambitious technical demands can turn a single sequence into a financial nightmare. In some cases, studios pushed back hard, questioning whether the cost could ever be justified. But sometimes those risky scenes become the very reason a movie is remembered. They shape the story, define t

Playing a great hero is difficult. Playing a great villain can be even harder. But mastering both across a career is a rare skill that only a few actors truly pull off. It takes range, control, and the ability to shift how audiences see you without losing credibility. Some actors become so convincing on one side that it feels shocking to watch them switch. Others move between good and evil so naturally that it becomes part of what makes them unforgettable. Whether leading the story or standing a

Not every beloved movie works for everyone. Some films become cultural landmarks, praised by critics, quoted endlessly, and treated like untouchable classics, but that does not mean every viewer connects with them.
