The father of Noah Woods has said the three-year-old will be loved forever and no words can describe the pain of the family's loss. Noah disappeared from a playground in Brantham, Suffolk, at about 15:00 BST on Tuesday after becoming separated from a relative. At least 1,300 people helped to try to find him in the following 24 hours, before a child's body was discovered on Wednesday afternoon at a nearby pond. Noah was the sweetest and most innocent little boy, with nothing but love to give, and we are going to miss him so very much, his father Rhys Woods wrote in a post on Facebook. This was the most heartbreaking outcome for us, we were just hoping that he would be hiding somewhere obvious where someone could find him, that's what we kept telling ourselves the whole time.

The EU has announced plans to restrict social media access for under-15s across its member states, in a bid to increase wellbeing and tackle online safety. Under the plans, there would be a gradual approach to children using social media which would include banning under 13s from accessing platforms. Those aged 13 to 15 would only be able to access platforms for an hour per day via mini accounts set up through their parent or guardian's social media account. The European Commission said social media companies would need to prove their platforms were safe by design, while EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said the move would put parents back in the driving seat. She added the legislation - called the EU Kids Act - would give parents the tools to help their children navigate a safer world.

Prosecutors in the UK have lodged a formal request for the extradition of brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate from the US to face charges of rape and sex trafficking.

The writer and actress announced the birth of her daughter in an op-ed published by Vogue on Wednesday, where she wrote she was bashful and dizzy with joy.
