'We'll find way to save Jodrell Bank,' Burnham says Prime Minister Andy Burnham has vowed to save the UK's largest telescope at the Jodrell Bank Observatory. The Lovell telescope, which has stood in Cheshire since 1957, is the world's third-largest steerable radio telescope. But in July this year, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) said the site would not be prioritised for further funding after its current agreement ended in March 2028. Burnham said: Every one of my generation went on a school trip to Jodrell Bank, and there is no way that we can see its demise, and it won't happen under my government. UKRI said its decision for the site was the result of a comprehensive, evidence-based prioritisation process.

Germany has said Russia was responsible for last month's drone attack at Leipzig's airport. A drone carrying an explosive device was discovered at Leipzig/Halle Airport in eastern Germany, close to Ukrainian cargo planes, on 4 August. It failed to explode as the detonator was apparently faulty, and investigators suspect a second drone collided with a cargo aircraft nearby. A third drone was reportedly found near the airport 10 days later. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the Leipzig airport attack followed the well-established pattern of Russian hybrid operations in Europe and the assumption was that Germany would be targeted again.

Eight months after Rob and Michele Reiner were fatally stabbed in their Brentwood home, son Jake opens up, describing his parents' deaths and brother's arrest as a "living nightmare." A grand jury has indicted younger son Nick Reiner on double-murder charges with special allegations of lying in wait, leaving him facing life without parole or the death penalty.

Investigators specialising in rape and sex offences will be introduced to every police force in England and Wales by the end of 2027, the government has said. Ministers are speeding up the rollout of the scheme, previously announced by Sir Keir Starmer's government, by 18 months as part of efforts to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG). They are also offering more money for some forces to boost protection orders. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the previous plans were too slow and ministers should be laser focused on tackling such crimes. One charity has welcomed the measures, but says they represent only a small portion of what is needed for victims. The Home Office initially announced the plans last year and was due to have teams in place by summer 2029.

Stones from the 16th-century fort were reused to build part of Dover Castle, about nine miles (14.5km) down the coast, according to a new study. Archaeologists discovered a previously unknown report from 1883, stating that materials from Sandown were being sold off and sent to Dover. Those stone chunks from Henry VIII's maritime defences now form part of the Constable's Gate at Dover, which provided quarters for the castle's commanding officer.
