• ‘Can’t explain how much I’m going to miss the laughs’

• Campbell Hatton also pursued a boxing career

Ricky Hatton’s son Campbell has paid an emotional tribute in his first public comments since his father’s death.

Tributes have poured in across the world of sport and beyond following the death of former world welterweight champion Hatton, who was found dead in his home on Sunday morning at the age of 46.

The big Beijing military parade included new weaponry that analysts say could potentially threaten the US Pacific territory

Like most people living in Guam, Jacqueline Guzman is used to hearing about the threat from China. The US territory of about 170,000 people lies in the Pacific Ocean and despite growing geopolitical tensions in the region, the cost of living rather than military aggression is front of mind for many residents.

Guzman says she is worried “about paying bills” and has trust in the US government to protect her.

Commons committee finds women’s concerns not taken seriously due to bias, stereotyping and racist assumptions

Black women in England are still facing poorer outcomes in their maternity care due to systemic racism, alongside failures in leadership and data collection, according to a group of MPs.

Across the UK, black women are more than twice as likely to die in childbirth compared with their white counterparts, while babies born to black mothers are at an increased risk of stillbirth.

Parentkind charity also says 33% of parents of children with special educational needs reported financial strain

One in three parents have sought a special needs assessment for their child, according to a survey that reveals a surge in demand for special needs support in schools across the UK.

The figures were released amid mounting apprehension in England over national plans to reform special needs provision amid rising costs and a severe shortage of dedicated special school places.

Julia Chuñil is one of 146 land defenders who were killed or went missing last year, a third of them from Indigenous communities

One day last November, Julia Chuñil called for her dog, Cholito, and they set off into the woods around her home to search for lost livestock. The animals returned but Chuñil, who was 72 at the time, and Cholito did not.

More than 100 people joined her family in a search lasting weeks in the steep, wet and densely overgrown terrain of Chile’s ancient Valdivian forest. After a month, they even kept an eye on vultures for any grim signs. But they found no trace of Chuñil.

Cupid recovers from surgery after what officials say is latest in half-dozen attacks on donkeys in semi-rural areas

A wild burro dubbed Cupid is recovering from surgery after being shot with an arrow in what officials say is the latest in a series of a half-dozen attacks since June on donkeys that roam semirural areas of inland southern California.

The two-year-old female burro was spotted last Wednesday with a blue arrow protruding from her right shoulder as she wandered with a herd in the foothills of Moreno Valley, about 65 miles (104km) east of Los Angeles.

One in five people who took orforglipron once a day for 72 weeks lost 20% or more of their weight, maker Eli Lilly says

A daily pill for weight loss can help people reduce their body weight by as much as a fifth, according to a trial that could pave the way for millions more people to shed pounds.

The drug, called orforglipron, is manufactured by Eli Lilly and targets the same GLP-1 receptors as weight loss injections such as Mounjaro and Wegovy. In a trial of 3,127 adults, one in five people who took the once-a-day tablet for 72 weeks lost 20% or more of their body weight.

• Qarabag fight back from 2-0 down to beat Benfica

• Union Saint-Gilloise win at PSV on league phase debut

It was a dramatic opening night in the Champions League, with Juventus and Borussia Dortmund sharing eight second-half goals while Qarabag shocked Benfica.

Dusan Vlahovic and Lloyd Kelly scored in stoppage time to inspire a dramatic Juventus escape, as they secured a 4-4 draw in a game where all eight goals came after the break.

Trump appointee insists he is staying in post despite reports of White House doubts over his leadership

A defiant Kash Patel on Tuesday denied Democratic senators’ accusations that the firings of top FBI agents were politically motivated and insisted he was staying as the bureau’s director despite reports that the White House had grown concerned with his leadership.

“I’m not going anywhere. If you want to criticize my 16 years of service, please bring it on. Over to you,” Patel said at the conclusion of his opening statement to the Senate judiciary committee, where he made his first appearance since being confirmed to lead the bureau in February.

Kylian Mbappé converted two penalties to secure Real Madrid a 2-1 victory against Marseille in their Champions League group-stage opener despite playing the final stages with 10 men after their captain, Dani Carvajal, was sent off.

Carvajal had not started the match, coming on after five minutes when Trent Alexander-Arnold pulled up with an apparent hamstring injury.

Tyler Robinson charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm and witness tampering and could face the death penalty

• US politics live – latest updates

Utah state prosecutors on Tuesday charged Tyler Robinson, the man accused of fatally shooting the far right activist Charlie Kirk, with aggravated murder – and they say they intend to pursue the death penalty against the 22-year-old if he is convicted.

Jeff Gray, the top prosecutor in Utah county, where Kirk was fatally shot on 10 September, said Robinson also ordered his roommate to delete incriminating text messages and stay silent if police questioned him in the aftermath of the Turning Point USA executive director’s killing.

But can he do it in the Champions League? It was one of the grumbles from the Tottenham fanbase when their club appointed Thomas Frank given how his experience of European football extended to little more than a handful of Europa League qualifiers with Brondby more than a decade ago.

It was a nervy big-time debut for the manager, his team retreating into their shells after half-time, looking to hold on to the lead they were presented with at the outset by one of the ultimate goalkeeping howlers.

Donald Trump has berated an ABC journalist who was asking questions about the US president’s personal business dealings, accusing him of “hurting Australia” in the lead-up to crucial talks with the prime minister, Anthony Albanese.

Trump was answering questions on the White House lawn when he clashed with the ABC’s Americas editor, John Lyons, who said he was reporting for Four Corners.

Claims that brothers were sexually abused didn’t supersede ‘premeditation and deliberation’ of killings, says judge

A California judge has rejected a request for a new trial for Erik and Lyle Menendez, saying the allegations that the brothers were sexually abused did not supersede their “premeditation and deliberation” when they killed their parents more than 35 years ago.

The ruling Monday by Los Angeles superior court judge William C Ryan comes just weeks after the brothers were denied parole, and shuts down another possible path to freedom for the pair, who have served nearly 30 years in prison. Ryan denied a May 2023 petition seeking a review of their convictions based on new evidence supporting their claims of sexual abuse by their father.

President has accused paper of trying to damage his ‘business, personal and political reputation’

Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, book publisher Penguin and several Times reporters in a district court in Florida on Monday night, accusing them of reporting “specifically designed to try and damage President Trump’s business, personal and political reputation”.

Trump seeks $15bn, plus punitive damages, court costs and “other relief”. Here’s a brief look at what’s in the filing.

Robert Redford, the Hollywood actor who became an Oscar-winning director, liberal activist and godfather for independent cinema, has died aged 89. His role in the 1969 western caper Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid alongside Paul Newman launched him as one of the world's most recognisable and best-loved movie stars

Actor and singer shared a statement on Instagram relating to their time together making the 1973 hit The Way We Were

• Robert Redford, giant of American cinema, dies aged 89

Barbra Streisand has paid tribute to Robert Redford, calling him “one of the finest actors ever”.

The entertainer shared a statement after her co-star in The Way We Were died at the age of 89 on Tuesday. His publicist wrote that he died “at Sundance in the mountains of Utah – the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved”.

Court rules former president, sentenced to 27 years for coup attempt, must pay R$1m for ‘cockroaches’ comment in 2021

Jair Bolsonaro has been ordered to pay R$1m (£138,000) in collective moral damages for remarks deemed “racist” while he was in office.

The latest ruling, delivered by a state appeals court, came less than a week after Brazil’s former president was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison for leading an attempted coup to overturn the result of the 2022 election.

“Impactors,” Mikel Arteta called them, and Gabriel Martinelli made quite an impact at San Mamés. “Sometimes you just need a second to change the history of a football club,” the Arsenal manager said last spring – and although describing the goal that set up victory here in those terms would be pushing it, the beginning of a Champions League campaign in which they aspire to do just that underlined why he has insisted on the importance of strength in depth.

On a night when they were without seven key men and were yet to find a way through a club that are the ultimate in resistance, the solution came from the bench.

Utah attorney says Tyler Robinson faces seven counts including aggravated murder and prosecution seeks death penalty; hearing to be held online

• Full report: Kirk suspect charged with aggravated murder by Utah prosecutors

Under-fire FBI director Kash Patel will confront Senate Democrats at a congressional hearing at 9am ET, likely to be dominated by questions about the investigation into the killing of Charlie Kirk, as well as the agency’s role in reviewing the files related to the Epstein case, and recent firings of senior officials who have accused Patel of illegal political retribution.

His appearance before the Senate judiciary committee represents the first oversight hearing of Patel’s young but tumultuous tenure. Most recently he has faced criticism for his actions and social media posts during the Kirk shooting investigation, which have raised questions about his experience and judgement, including being seen as “grandstanding” with regards to his own role, and prematurely (and wrongly) announcing on X that the suspect had been caught.

One of the greatest nights in Union Saint-Gilloise’s history. They’ve done an emphatic number on the Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven, with Anouar Ait El Hadj’s exhilarating solo goal the highlight.

UNION SG ARE TOP OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.

The Europa League holders marked their return to the Champions League with a scrappy win

Bergvall is sent scampering down the right flank. He looks for Richarlison in the middle with a low cross. Junior dives to claim, but in diving forward to collect, allows the ball to squirt out of his hands, backwards, and into the bottom right. What a huge blunder! What a gift! What a start for Spurs!

2 min: Foyth’s first act on his return to north London is to clatter into Richarlison, knocking him upside the head in an aerial duel. The resulting free kick is launched long, and Van de Ven tees up Simons, who screeches a first-time shot over the bar from distance. A statement of intent from Simons on his home debut.

Attorneys for the Grammy-winning musician say he is receiving in-patient treatment after pleading not guilty to charges

Lil Nas X is in treatment, his attorneys said this week, after his arrest last month on multiple charges for allegedly charging at police officers who stopped him as he walked in his underwear down a Los Angeles street.

The artist, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer during the August incident.

These are dark times, but those who seek to divide us will not win. The capital’s soul and spirit are as inclusive and optimistic as ever

• Sadiq Khan is the mayor of London

• Trump has fanned the flames of divisive politics around the world, says Sadiq Khan

Something in our country changed at the weekend. Like cities across the UK, London has seen protests organised by the far right before, but this felt different. Over 100,000 people filled the capital. Tens of thousands of them marched peacefully. But some violently attacked the police officers tasked with keeping Londoners safe. Elon Musk tried to rally protesters against our democracy, telling them to “fight back or you die”.

The scenes we saw didn’t come from nowhere. For far too long, our politicians and pundits have refused to condemn the rising tide of hatred in this country, instead choosing to dabble in dog-whistle politics and dangerous rhetoric themselves.

Sadiq Khan is the mayor of London
