The couple, pictured smiling on Sky News as they arrived at Heathrow Airport on Saturday, were held without charge in a maximum security prison, including long periods of separation. They had lived in Afghanistan for nearly two decades and ran a training and education organisation. Their son Jonathan Reynolds said the family was “thrilled” and “overwhelmed with thankfulness” that the couple had been released and had returned to the UK. A spokesman at the Taliban government’s foreign ministry, Abdul Qahar Balkhi, said on X the couple had “violated Afghan law” and were released from prison on Friday after a court hearing. He did not say what law the couple were accused of breaking.

FORMULA ONE qualifying at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was suspended SIX TIMES as Max Verstappen produced another masterclass to take pole. The first red flag came out as Williams star Alex Albon made a huge error going into Turn 1. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc followed suit in Q3 when his car went straight into the wall at Turn 15. And after that championship leader Piastri then crashed into the wall himself to bring out a record sixth session stoppage. Verstappen eventually snatched pole ahead of Williams Carlos Sainz - in what would have been the teams first pole since 2014.

It comes after Norway placed a £10bn order for Type 26 frigates designed for anti-submarine warfare at the Glasgow yard. The UK Government said last month that the deal would support 2000 jobs at BAE Systems Glasgow shipyards “well into the 2030s”, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer saying the deal would support “well-paid jobs up and down the United Kingdom, from apprentices to engineers”. BAE confirmed management roles were being scrapped across the naval ships business, which includes sites in Portsmouth, Frimley and Filton. “We’ve undertaken a review to consider how we reshape and modernise the operations of our naval ships business following considerable investment in our infrastructure in recent years,” a spokesperson from BAE Systems said. The first vessel will be named HMS Glasgow, and is expected to be handed over to the Navy next year.

US President Donald TrumpA Florida federal judge has tossed out a £11 billion defamation lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump against The New York Times on the basis that it was too petty. The lawsuit delves into Mr Trump’s work on The Apprentice TV show and an “extensive list” of the billionaire’s other media appearances. The lawsuit also attacked claims the reporters made about Mr Trump’s early business dealings and his father, Fred. Mr Trump also cited an article by Peter Baker last October 20 headlined “For Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward a Moment of Judgment". Mr Trump has sued ABC News and CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” both of which were settled out of court by the news organisations’ parent companies.

Donald Trump's $15billion lawsuit against The New York Times has been thrown out just four days after it was filed - by a judge who said the complaint was too long and petty. Any future filings must be limited to 40 pages, The New York Times reported. Judge Merryday - who was appointed by President George H.W. Bush - blasted the president for waiting until the 80th page of his lawsuit to formally accuse the paper of defamation. He also told Trump that, despite being president, plaintiffs are supposed to 'fairly, precisely, directly, soberly, and economically' tell defendants in complaints why they are being sued.

"A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations," the judge wrote. "Although lawyers receive a modicum of expressive latitude in pleading the claim of a client, the complaint in this action extends far beyond the outer bound of that latitude."
