The US President has repeated his call for other nations, particularly Nato allies, to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.

New figures from Interpol show that AI-enhanced scams are now almost five times more profitable than traditional methods.

Chelsea Football Club has been fined more than $14m, the Premier League's biggest ever fine, for breaking financial rules. Margareta Magnusson, who popularised the Swedish practice of Death Cleaning, has died at the age of 92.
