Ann Widdecombe died after being hit on the head with a hammer 21 times at her Devon home as she ate lunch, prosecutors have told Westminster Magistrates' Court. Prosecutor Kashif Malik said the man accused of her murder, Joshua Kerry, arrived at her house on 8 July in a red Vauxhall Corsa and entered through the front door. Kerry, who prosecutors say was only in the property for two minutes and was wearing black gloves, then allegedly hit Widdecombe repeatedly with a hammer, tipped her from her chair and took her wallet before driving off, the court heard. The 28-year-old from South Yorkshire, who is charged with murder, was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey later on Tuesday. Malik told the court that Widdecombe did not attend a pre-arranged online interview with Channel 5's Matt Allwright show that had been scheduled for just before 13:00 BST on 8 July.

The maker of Wegovy and Ozempic, Novo Nordisk, has launched legal action accusing its arch rival Eli Lilly of false advertising in suggesting its weight-loss drugs perform better. The Danish company filed a lawsuit in the US on Tuesday claiming Eli Lilly, which makes Mounjaro and Zepbound, deployed ad campaigns to create the misleading impression that Eli Lilly's medicines are superior. Novo said its rival compared the highest approved doses of its medicines for obesity and type-2 diabetes with lower doses of Novo Nordisk's, while omitting newer, higher-dose options. The BBC has contacted Eli Lilly for comment. The lawsuit comes as Novo and Eli Lilly are locked in battle to dominate the fast-growing weight-loss drug industry, especially in the US, which analysts have estimated could be worth more than $100bn by 2030.

An incident on a Ryanair flight which saw a passenger partially sucked out of a plane window may have been caused by foreign object damage to an engine, said the airline's boss. Michael O'Leary said an initial investigation into the incident on 10 July between Greece and Germany suggests it looks like a foreign object damage to the engine on takeoff at Thessaloniki but ... we can't say that definitively. He insisted that the engine on the 18-year-old Boeing 737 plane had been fully serviced and overhauled in the past two years.
