The walls of what is thought to be one of medieval England's earliest and largest leprosy hospitals have been uncovered in Lincoln by Time Team archaeologists. A three-day dig started on Friday on the South Common at the site of the Hospital of the Holy Innocents, which housed up to 20 people with leprosy around the late 11th to early 12th Centuries. Time Team's Prof Carenza Lewis said they had found traces of square features where it is thought people were housed, which haven't been excavated before, anywhere. The dig marks the beginning of a three-year project backed by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The remains of the building were found last year during a Local Landscapes and Hidden Histories project.

The daughter of murdered MP Sir David Amess says politicians are still at risk and questioned if anything has changed five years after her father's death.

The government commissioned a review into his death in August, to identify lessons to be learned and recommend steps to minimise the risk of future tragedies.

Tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2027 sold out in 42 minutes, organisers have said. Thousands of people joined the online queue at 09:00 BST in the hope of securing tickets to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, which returns from 23 to 27 June after a fallow year . Organisers confirmed last month that tickets for the weekend were at their highest price ever - £408, including a £5 booking fee per ticket - an increase of £29.50 from the last event in 2025. Headliners have yet to be announced but organiser Emily Eavis previously said the team was very excited and things were coming together really well. Glastonbury posted on Instagram shortly after 09:40 to announce that tickets had sold out, and notified those who were in the queue.

Two national porridge-making champions from almost opposite sides of the planet have triumphed in the annual world championships held in the Scottish Highlands. Gina Saarberg, 28, took the coveted Golden Spurtle using the same recipe that saw her crowned Dutch champion in July, using organic pinhead oats, salt and water that she brought with her from the Netherlands. Australian champion Rob Reid took the speciality award - where competitors can combine oatmeal with any ingredients - with his porridge cannoli, an oaty spin on a tube-shaped dessert that originated in Sicily. Thirty competitors from 14 countries took part in the contest, held each year at Carrbridge, just north of Aviemore. What's a golden spurtle and why do so many people want one?

A major bridge in Kyiv has been targeted by Russian strikes for the second day in a row, coinciding with a surprise visit from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's to the city. The Pivnichnyi (Northern) Bridge was hit on Sunday morning, a day after it was first struck by drones in an attack that damaged the road surface and led to traffic disruption. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Sunday's strike had also damaged a heating main, adding that there would be a temporary lack of hot water in the north-eastern Desnyanskyi district as a result. Major bridges have been targeted in Kyiv over the past four days as Moscow ramps up attacks on critical infrastructure in the capital. Unverified video footage of Sunday's strike shows cars moving on the bridge as a drone crashes into it before exploding, creating a ball of fire.

Ukraine will hit Russian refineries in response to Moscow's'new doctrine' of airstrikes Plumes of smoke rise from fires at an oil refinery following what the authorities say was a Ukrainian drone strike in Moscow on Sept. 20. Kyiv - Ukraine will double down on attacking Russian oil refineries in response to a new policy of airstrikes by Moscow designed to force people to abandon Kyiv and other cities, but will not target civilians, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. Ukraine's intelligence services have obtained documents showing that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had issued a "new doctrine" of military attacks on a much broader range of civilian targets ahead of this winter, Zelenskyy said. "We saw documents and we know that they allow them to attack infrastructure, logistics, and especially to attack in the cities, in the villages, everywhere, roads, schools, hospitals," Zelenskyy said in an interview. "To pressure people to leave the capital, leave different cities: this is the goal of the operation."
