A preliminary report by Indian authorities into what caused the Air India plane crash in June has revealed switches were flipped to cut fuel to the engines just moments after takeoff. Aviation experts think that means pilot error is unlikely to blame for the disaster which killed 260 people.
Great Britain’s Alfie Hewett was unable to defend his wheelchair single’s title at Wimbledon after he was beaten by world number one Tokito Oda.
In a contest of the highest quality, Oda fought back from losing the opener to triumph 3-6 7-5 6-2.
It was the 19-year-old’s second Wimbledon title, having also beaten Hewett in 2023, and sixth overall Grand Slam success.
While disappointed to lose, Hewett was full of praise for the backing from fans on Court One.
“To experience tennis matches like this is what we dream of. Win or lose that is the real winner today,” said the 27-year-old, who also lost in the doubles final with Gordon Reid.
“When you lose, to have this amount of love and support, this sort of atmosphere doesn’t happen to us on a regular basis.
“It is really incredible the amount of support wheelchair tennis has got.”
From the moment the pair broke each other’s first service game it was clear this was going to be a tight and tense contest between two players who regularly meet at this stage of Grand Slams.
This was the seventh time in the last 10 major finals that they had faced each other and the exchange of breaks continued in a tight first set until Hewett broke in the seventh game, held and then took the first set with a fourth consecutive break.
The second set was even closer, with more breaks of serve from both players. It seemed destined to go to a tie-break as Hewett had break point with Oda leading 6-5, but the Japanese player raised his level once more to fend it off and level matters.
From then on he had the momentum as the exertion of a gruelling second set seemed to have taken its toll on Hewett. After getting the first break in the third game of the decider, Oda was in full control.
Hewett, lifted by the noise of the crowd, fended off match point on his serve, but it merely delayed Oda’s win as he showed his quality to get over the line.
“Two years ago I won here, this tournament is different to others, it is so beautiful,” he said. “I really appreciate this moment.”
Meanwhile, Niels Vink won the Wimbledon quad singles title by defeating fellow Dutchman Sam Schroder 6-3 6-3 on court three.
Swansea City have hinted that Snoop Dogg will have some future involvement at the Championship club after the rapper helped launch their new home shirt.
Snoop Dogg was the surprise model as Swansea unveiled their home jersey for the 2025-26 season on social media.
And the Swans have now suggested that their association with Snoop Dogg, 53, will not end there.
In April, Croatia and Real Madrid legend Luka Modric became an investor and co-owner at the Welsh club.
Swansea’s American owners, who are led by Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen, have made it clear they want to strengthen the club’s brand and global appeal as they look to make progress on the pitch.
They are understood to have a mutual connection with Snoop Dogg, who may follow Modric in taking a role at Swansea.
“We appreciate the considerable interest and enthusiasm generated by Snoop Dogg’s appearance in a Swansea City shirt,” Swansea’s ownership group said in a statement.
“While we are not in a position to share specifics with you all just yet, we will be able to provide more details soon and we’re excited about what’s to come.”
England’s Lottie Woad faces a nervy wait to see if she will become the first amateur to win a major in 58 years after setting the clubhouse lead in the final round of the Evian Championship.
Woad missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the last but still posted a sensational seven-under 64 to finish on 13 under par.
The 21-year-old, who won last week’s Irish Open by six shots, started the final round joint 19th and five shots off the overnight lead of compatriot Cara Gainer.
Woad, who is a member of the England Golf women’s squad, is bidding to become the first amateur to win a major since Frenchwoman Catherine Lacoste claimed the US Women’s Open title in 1967.
Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul and Australian pair Minjee Lee and Grace Kim are among those in with a chance of overhauling Woad’s target as they play the final few holes in France.
Thitikul, the world number two who prefers to be known as Jeeno because “I think it’s unique and easier than Atthaya”, is yet to win a major,
Lee is a three-time major winner, having claimed this title in 2021 and also won this year’s Women’s PGA Championship and the 2022 US Women’s Open. Kim is yet to finish inside the top-10 in a major.

GB News star Adam Brooks has branded King Charles III “old sausage fingers” in an outburst against the reigning monarch. The 45-year-old pub landlord took aim at the King while discussing events at a recent state visit from France’s Emmanuel Macron.
When the 47-year-old French President visited the UK last week, King Charles, 76, hosted a banquet in which he made reference to boat crossings which have seen thousands of illegal immigrants make their way from France to the UK across the Channel. While the King has been criticised by some for his comments, Adam took the opportunity to bash the monarch, branding him “too woke” and criticising him for discussing immigration.
After Adam’s comments sparked headlines of their own, he doubled down – taking to social media to share his dislike of the King. Sharing a screenshot of an article where his words were quoted, the GB News host said: “I won’t lie on TV, I don’t like him”
Adam continued: ” IMO he’s a climate extremist, he’s clearly very rude to his staff, most notably when he lost it at a poor servant at the coronation over a pen, he’s ridiculously woke, he is meddling in politics, where as the Queen didn’t and he lectures us on immigration, when he lives behind 10ft security gates and has armed guards. Not for me old sausage fingers.”
He has also been running a poll on X, asking followers if their opinion of the royal family has changed since Charles ascended to the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
He posed to fans and followers: “I’ve made no secret of not liking King Charles, I don’t want to see the end of the Royal Family, I just can’t like him in any way whatsoever. I’d sit with my nan watching the Queen at the events, she loved it. SO, FOR YOU, DID THE ROYALS DIE WITH THE QUEEN?”
He may not like the answers he has been given, however, as many responded to his post to share their continued support of the monarchy. One follower replied: “No – We still have William & Catherine!”
Another typed: “I’m from the Diana era, watched William grow up and I adore his family. Loved the Queen but never understood Charles and don’t like him now so I ignore pretty much everything he does.”
Oher fans took aim at Adam over his stance, with one writing him off as a nonentity, writing: “King Charles said Adam who?”
Adam is the proprietor of Essex pubs The Owl Public House in Loughton and The Three Colts in Buckhurst Hill. He rose to prominence through social media where he attracted a strong following and drew attention for taking on the likes of Piers Morgan in lively social media debates. He became a regular contributor on GB News soon after the channel launched in 2021.
More recently, Adam has been drawing attention for sharing his thoughts and observations on how immigration has changed his local area – but has faced criticism when highlighting alleged criminal activity in the area.
