A man has been charged with two counts of murder following a house fire in Grangetown, Middlesbrough, that resulted in the deaths of seven-year-old Valentina Foster and her aunt, Natalie McDonald, aged 34. Jaden Wright, 23, faces multiple charges and will appear in court.

Thomasina and Patrick Tobin, a couple from London, died in their villa jacuzzi in Cullera, Spain, reportedly from cardiac arrests attributed to a freak accident. Their teenage children discovered them on 25 August. Police investigations suggest possible entrapment due to suction force in the hot tub.

Almost all of the UK newspaper front pages today lead with the landmark ruling that transwomen are not women and instead a woman is defined by biological sex. The ruling will now see huge changes to public and private sector gender guidance.

The UK Supreme Court yesterday ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. The judges say the “concept of sex is binary”, while cautioning that the landmark ruling should not be seen as a victory of one side over another. The court added, transgender people still have legal protections from discrimination.
