Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is taking legal action against Thames Valley Police over his arrest in February. The former Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, in the wake of information that emerged from the Epstein files in the United States. Mountbatten-Windsor's lawyers are said to be challenging the search warrants used in Sandringham and at Royal Lodge in Windsor relating to his arrest, as first reported by the Telegraph. Thames Valley Police confirmed: We are engaged in legal proceedings in relation to warrants previously obtained from the Central Criminal Court. As these legal proceedings are currently ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further, a spokesperson for the force that carried out the arrest said.

The UK's biggest broadband provider, BT, has agreed to rescue rival operator TalkTalk in a takeover. The deal, which will need to be approved by the UK's competition regulator, would mark end of months of speculation over the future for TalkTalk, which has been on the brink of administration because of its debts. TalkTalk has 1.5 million retail customers and one million wholesale customers across the UK. Some have raised concerns about the increased control BT will have over the broadband market as a result of the deal. BT chief executive Alison Kirkby said the deal provided a safety net for the households and businesses who rely on TalkTalk.

Longer battery life, better screen, upgraded Siri and new variable aperture camera in refreshed design from last year's model Apple's smaller Pro iPhone gets the best kind of spec bump for 2026: longer battery life, faster chips and a fancy new variable aperture for the main camera. The iPhone 18 Pro is one of a pair of slab phones launched alongside Apple's first folding phone, the iPhone Duo, and is the cheapest of the new phones, with a regular iPhone 18 yet to be announced. It isn't exactly low cost, priced from £1,199 (€1,449/$1,199/A$2,099), with a £100 or equivalent rise over previous models courtesy of RAMageddon . Having fully revamped the design of the body for the iPhone 17 Pro, the new model is a modest refinement.

Court of Appeal to hear residents' parade challenge over Drumcree dispute A challenge to the decision to allow a controversial Orange Order parade to go down a predominantly nationalist road is due to be heard in court later. The deadlock over the proposed march in Portadown - opposed by residents of the Garvaghy Road - has lasted since last Sunday morning. The stalemate has reopened what was once the most bitter parading dispute in Northern Ireland, with stand-offs in the mid-to-late 90s accompanied by riots, roadblocks and killings. The fresh Court of Appeal application argues that the Parades Commission, the organisation that approved the march, had materially misdirected itself on the police assessment of the potential for disorder. The application also said the commission had not given an accurate representation of PSNI evidence in its decision.

Scotland is on course to miss legally-binding targets to cut child poverty by a wide margin, according to a report from a leading social reform charity. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) said one in five children was in poverty and radical change was needed to put the Scottish government's pledges back on track. It urged ministers to craft a much bolder and properly-funded plan to reduce poverty by rewiring local government, public services and the tax system. The Scottish government said it had made great strides, with its policies keeping 100,000 children out of poverty this year, but accepted there was more to do. In 2017, MSPs passed a law requiring ministers to hit four targets, external, including pushing the share of children in relative poverty below 10% by 2030.
