The younger brother of slain Florida cheerleader Anna Kepner unknowingly went to sleep just feet away from his dead sister — after the boy noticed she wasn’t in their cruise cabin but assumed she had gotten up to spend time with their parents, according to a chilling new report.

Pedro Sánchez says his country must defend the democratic freedom ‘wrenched from us for so many years’
Spain has marked the 50th anniversary of Francisco Franco’s death with an absence of official events but with a call from the prime minister to heed the lessons of the dictatorship and defend the democratic freedom “wrenched from us for so many years”.
Franco, whose military coup against the elected republican government in 1936 triggered a civil war and brought about four decades of dictatorship, died in Madrid on 20 November 1975.
Brazilian president underlines need to reduce emissions as Turkey set to host next year’s summit
Two key pieces of climate jargon – adaptation and mitigation – are sometimes seen as alternative ways to survive a hotter planet. In reality, people’s worlds are already being torn apart by weather that has been made more violent by fossil fuel pollution and more deadly by human mismanagement.
A few weeks ago I spoke with Toñi García, who saw this first-hand. Here is her story.
Bernie Williams, a beloved member of the Yankees, and Jonathan Tetelman, an international tenor and opera singer, are a surprising duo at first glance.
Musician says seeing national flags on recent visits to Luton and Dublin ‘doesn’t make me feel safe’
The UK and Ireland are entering “dark times”, according to the singer Joy Crookes, who said the influence of far-right ideology on mainstream politics is comparable to the 1970s when the National Front was at its peak.
Labour accused of delaying new rules to avoid backlash, after leak of EHRC guidance saying trans people could be questioned based on looks
The UK government has insisted it will take as much time as necessary to “get right” new rules on access to single-sex spaces after a leak of guidance submitted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) raised concerns that its publication was being deliberately delayed.
The equalities watchdog submitted its formal guidance on how public bodies, businesses and other service providers should respond to April’s landmark supreme court ruling on biological sex to the UK government in September. Since then, its outgoing chair, Kishwer Falkner, has urged the equalities minister, Bridget Phillipson, to approve it “as soon as possible”.
Wales and Northern Ireland could meet for finals place
Ireland to face Denmark or North Macedonia if they win
Wales and Northern Ireland will do battle for a place at the 2026 World Cup if they navigate playoff semi-finals of differing toughness in March.
The pair would fight it out in Cardiff for a ticket to next year’s showpiece if Wales win a home tie against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Northern Ireland prevail in a fiendish trip to Italy, who are out of form but will be strongly favoured. It is a particularly appetising draw for Craig Bellamy’s Wales, who are flying after defeating North Macedonia 7-1 on Tuesday and are two home victories from a return to the most exalted stage.
Medical officials say 17 people killed in Khan Younis area and 16 in strikes on Gaza City
Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed 33 people and injured many more, according to medical officials, in one of the most serious escalations of violence since the US-backed ceasefire came into effect last month.
Officials at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said they received the bodies of 17 people, including five women and five children, after four Israeli airstrikes targeted tents sheltering displaced people. In Gaza City, medical officials said two airstrikes killed 16 people, including seven children and three women.
US says Johannesburg meeting cannot issue final statement without its presence and that summit’s priorities ‘run counter to US policy views’
South Africa has accused the US of attempting “coercion by absentia” after Donald Trump’s administration confirmed it would boycott the G20 meeting in Johannesburg and said no final statement by G20 leaders could be issued without its presence.
The US sent a note last weekend confirming none of its officials would be attending the G20 leaders’ summit on 22 to 23 November, the first to be held in Africa, and that it would not accept any declaration issued at the end of it.
The Muslim Brotherhood is half-way through its plan to "transform Western society from within" by covertly embedding itself in college campuses and other institutions across the US, a new report warns.
The top prize of entertainer of the year at the 2025 Country Music Association Awards went to none other than Lainey Wilson, who hosted, performed and barely left the stage Wednesday night.
Former defender on his challenge as sporting director at Ligue 1 club and using Arsène Wenger as an inspiration
Returning to Brittany was the obvious choice for Laurent Koscielny. Having left Lorient for Arsenal in 2010, the former defender is back at the Ligue 1 side as the sporting director.
“My wife and I were keen to come back, it’s a beautiful region, and the people are welcoming and kind,” the Frenchman says of the seaside town, known for its annual Celtic music festival and military naval base.
Sergio Busquets didn’t expect to last this long. More than a decade ago, he predicted he’d retire by his early 30s. But when he finally announced in September that he’ll hang up his boots at the end of Inter Miami’s season, he did so as a 37-year-old defensive midfielder who still somehow never leaves the pitch for one of the best teams in MLS.
He could be playing his final game this weekend, if Miami losetheir conference semi-final against FC Cincinnati on Sunday.
Measures covering sustainability, squad-cost ratio and controversial spend restrictions are due to be discussed on Friday
Executives of the 20 Premier League clubs are meeting in London to discuss, and potentially decide on, new financial regulations that will determine the future direction of the competition. These measures have been under consideration in some form or another since October 2021, just as the game was emerging from the crisis of Covid.
The perennial question of what to serve those who like the taste of cocktails and spirits, but who don’t drink alcohol, is actually getting easier to answer year on year
It’s time to start thinking about the C word. You might well already have plans to stock up for house guests who are drinking, but what about those who aren’t? It’s a good opportunity to think about how we might jazz up our non-alcoholic offering for friends and family who are trying to drink less, or not drinking booze at all. Sometimes, your friend will just want a Fanta, but I don’t like being the one to offer it to them. We can do better than that.
There are really excellent non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beers out there, as well as an ever-expanding offering of zero-alcohol wines (or, even, sessionable wines at around 6% ABV). But what of those who like, or used to like, a cocktail? Those who enjoy the heady, medicinal kick of a spirit, but don’t want any of the booze?
Tucker Carlson’s interview with the activist revealed the mainstream right is being flooded by extremism – and it’s now impossible to contain
Five days a week, thousands of fans gather online to watch Nick Fuentes hold court about the dangers of non-white immigration, feminism and “organized Jewry”. Usually dressed in a dark suit and tie, he lectures to his far-right followers, known as “Groypers”, about what he argues is the insufficient radicalism of Donald Trump’s Republican party and what he describes as the perfidies of the state of Israel and its American supporters.
Fuentes’s fixation with Israel is not rooted in concern about the war in Gaza but a belief, in his telling, that Jews are responsible for most of society’s problems. Fuentes, who is 27 and lives in Illinois, has called Adolf Hitler “really fucking cool” and compared the Holocaust to the baking of cookies.
