An alleged Scottish crime boss is being deported from the Indonesian resort island of Bali to Spain on Wednesday, following his arrest in connection with large-scale drug trafficking and money laundering.

Authorities identified Steven Lyons, 45, as a senior figure in an international crime syndicate who had spent months on the run.

He is also alleged to be the leader of the Scotland-based Lyons crime family.

Lyons was detained on Saturday upon his arrival at Bali’s Ngurah Rai international airport from Singapore, Indonesian immigration and police authorities confirmed.

His arrest was triggered by an Interpol Red Notice, issued at Spain’s request, which alerts police worldwide to arrest a suspect for extradition.

Wanted in both Spain and the United Kingdom, Lyons will be flown to Spain via Doha on Wednesday evening.

Bugie Kurniawan of Bali’s immigration office said that he was handed over to Spain’s Civil Guard officers at the airport, where prosecutors in Madrid are seeking to try him on charges related to organised crime, drug trafficking, and money laundering.

Lyons has been on Spain’s wanted list for about two years, following a murder there in 2024. Bali Police Chief Daniel Adityajaya said the arrest was part of a joint investigation involving Spanish and Scottish police.

According to Untung Widiyatmoko, who heads Indonesia’s branch of Interpol, Lyons is alleged to have led a transnational criminal network operating out of Cumbernauld, Scotland, and controlled narcotics trafficking routes from Spain to the UK.

His organised crime ring is suspected of using shell companies for money laundering in Europe and the Middle East, including in Spain, Scotland, England, Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain and Turkey.

Widiyatmoko said a day before Lyons’ arrest in Bali, police in Scotland and Spain carried out raids in connection with the case, with the help of Europol, a European Union law enforcement cooperation hub. Several people were arrested, while others were detained in Turkey, the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates.

Scottish media have reported that Lyons survived a 2006 shooting in Glasgow that killed his cousin and later moved to Spain before settling in Dubai, in the UAE.

Last May, his brother and an associate were shot and killed in a suspected gangland shooting at a beachfront bar in Fuengirola, southern Spain.

But despite all the failings, he says he still believes in London, “we want to continue investing in London, but there’s a lot of pain coming. It’s frustrating seeing the man on the man or woman on the street right, working their ass off, wanting to be proud of their home and their garden and where they live in the street, and every time they say anything positive about it, they get kicked

A rubber boat carrying migrants has capsized off the Turkish holiday resort of Bodrum after a high-speed chase, killing 18 people, officials have said.

The vessel, detected by authorities in the early hours of Wednesday, had ignored repeated warnings to stop, according to the Turkish coastguard.

Officials said in a statement that the boat, which had attempted to flee at speed, capsized and sank in rough seas.

A coastguard helicopter from Izmir was sent to the area along with three boats, and 21 migrants were rescued from the Aegean Sea, according to officials.

The statement did not ​say where the boat had ​departed from, or its destination, and the nationalities of those who were on board are not yet known. Search and rescue operations are continuing.

The Greek island of Kos, an entry point into the European Union for people fleeing conflict and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, lies 13 miles from Bodrum. Other nearby islands include Kalymnos, Leros and Symi.

While the journey across the Aegean Sea is relatively short, it can also be treacherous. Many of the boats are unseaworthy, or set out in bad weather, and fatal accidents have been common.

Turkey hosts millions of ​refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The cost will increase in line with inflation

From April 1 customers across the UK will be paying more to legally watch their televisions as the TV licence fee has increased. The annual fee change increases in line with inflation to fund the BBC and is a requirement for households that watch or record live TV.

Despite its name you do not need to have a television to pay the fee as it also applies on other devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and games consoles.

A TV licence is required for watching and recording live television on any channel, streaming service, or app and to download or watch BBC iPlayer.

There are however exceptions with some channels legal to watch if you do not have a TV licence including:

• Catch up programmes on services other than BBC iPlayer such as ITVX, All4, and My5
• On-demand films or TV shows that you watch, rent, or buy online from providers like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sky, EE TV, Apple TV, Disney+, or Now
• S4C programmes on demand
• DVDs or blu-rays
• YouTube streamers’ videos or clips live or recorded

From now the fee for a colour licence will increase to £180, up from £174.50, while a black and white licence now costs £60.50. For money-saving tips sign up to our Money newsletter here.

This means the cost of an annual colour TV licence will rise by £5.50 – the equivalent of an extra 46p a month.

As well as the BBC S4C receives all its public funding from the licence fee and will see its revenue rise receiving approximately £100m in 2026-27 to encourage the growth of the Welsh creative industries.

Watching live TV without a valid TV licence is a criminal offence with TV Licensing employing enforcement officers to conduct regular checks. Those caught watching live TV or BBC iPlayer without a licence could face prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000.

A spokesman for the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport said: “TV licence fee to rise in line with inflation to provide the BBC with stable financial footing to deliver for audiences and support the wider creative industries.

“The increase in the cost of the TV licence will help keep the BBC on a stable financial footing, enabling it to continue to deliver on its mission and public purposes.

“The BBC is the UK’s number one media brand, with 94% of UK adults using the BBC each month last year, and it remains the UK’s most widely used and trusted news outlet.”

Many people may also be eligible for free and reduced fees. Free licences are available for over-75s on pension credit while care home residents and blind individuals could be eligible for a reduced rate.

A new Lord Of The Rings title is being developed by Crystal Dynamics according to reports, which is hoping to rival Hogwarts Legacy.

After 2017’s Middle-earth: Shadow Of War, games based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord Of The Rings have been middling at best.

We’ve had The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum, Tales Of The Shire, and survival title Return To Moria over recent years – and none of them have made any impact. In fact, the creator’s of the last good Lord Of The Rings game, Monolith Productions, were shut down last year.

While nothing has been confirmed in regards to future titles, some hope emerged through a report last year which claimed a new third-person action game based on the franchise was in development. It was said to involve multiple parties, including Embracer (who own the IP for Lord Of The Rings video games) and an unknown studio called Revenge.

Now, according to Insider Gaming, another studio working on the game is Crystal Dynamics, which is currently developing Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst. The former is being developed in conjunction with Flying Wild Hog, so it’s perhaps possible Crystal Dynamics is juggling another project at the same time.

It’s claimed the title has been in development for some time but it is still ‘a bit away’ from actually coming out. In the original report, it was described as an action game designed to ‘compete with Hogwarts Legacy’ – which suggests it’s big in scope.

The title was apparently partially funded by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), with their investment equating to roughly $100 million (£74.4 million).

Crystal Dynamics isn’t the only studio seemingly connected to a Lord Of The Rings project. A rumour recently emerged on ResetEra that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 developer Warhorse Studios were actually working on the aforementioned title, and while this has been refuted by Insider Gaming, they claim ‘it’s possible they are working on one’ as well, just not this specific game.

That means there’s potentially two new major Lord Of The Rings games in development right now, although it’s worth taking this all with a pinch of salt at the moment.

Beyond new titles, a rumour last month suggested a forgotten Xbox 360 Lord Of The Rings game, 2011’s War In The North, might be getting the remaster treatment from Aspyr.

BBC Sport and ITV have once again split the matches between them, with two of England’s group matches on ITV (the first against Croatia and third against Panama) and one on BBC (the second match against Ghana). The final will be shown on both channels simultaneously.

Since the 1998 World Cup, England’s win percentage at major tournaments is considerably better on BBC, leading to fears of an “ITV curse”.

Scotland’s group games follow the reverse pattern, with their group-stage opener against Haiti and third match against Brazil on BBC and the middle game against Morocco on ITV.

For the first time, parts of the World Cup will be free to watch on YouTube after Fifa struck an agreement with the streaming platform. The first 10 minutes of every game will be streamed live on YouTube, with broadcasters sharing a select number of full matches on the website. “Content creators” will be part of the coverage as Fifa seeks to attract a new generation of fans.

Fan groups demanded an immediate halt to World Cup ticket sales last December, accusing Fifa of charging “extortionate” prices to the most dedicated supporters.

Football Supporters Europe (FSE), which represents groups across the continent, called for sales via the likes of the Football Association to be suspended when it emerged that watching England at next summer’s tournament could end up costing at least £5,000.

According to FSE, the minimum $6,900 (£5,143) fans would have to pay to follow their country from their first match until the final was nearly five times as much as during the last World Cup.

In response to growing public pressure, Fifa announced a cheaper band of £45 tickets would be made available, but only for a small percentage of seats.

In the latter stages of the tournament, the majority of the cheapest tickets are £686 for the semi-final and £3,119 for the final, pricing condemned by the Football Supporters Association’s Fan Embassy.

“Surprise surprise Fifa are finding out that supporters will turn their backs on ludicrous prices, however prestigious the game. Thousands of pounds for any football match is beyond greedy,” a statement said.

“The most loyal fans, be they English supporters or those of any other nationality, are being priced out.

The final phase of ticket sales will be last-minute general sales, where any remaining tickets are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. This phase will begin in April, and you can access the ticket portal on Fifa’s website here.

There are fears that this World Cup could prove the most expensive ever for supporters, with Fifa operating “dynamic pricing” and taking a 15 per cent fee on resale tickets from both buyer and seller.

It might be April Fools’ Day, but Carol Kirkwood has left the BBC after almost 30 years – and it’s no prank.

Kirkwood, 63, hosted her final weather update on BBC Breakfast on Wednesday morning (1 April), much to the sadness of viewers and hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent – and she broke down in tears while thanking viewers for “letting me be a part of your lives”.

The special celebratory episode saw Kirkwood receive messages from a flurry of recognisable faces, including singer Bryan Adams, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and former BBC Breakfast host Susanna Reid. She was also reunited with the dog that famously pulled off screen while she hosted the weather from the Chelsea Flower Show in 2021.

She was also presented with several gifts, including a special painting from Mr Men illustrator Adam Hargreaves depciting her as “Little Miss Sunshine” and a bunch of flowers from her husband Steve Randall. “You told me you weren’t coming in! You’re in trouble,” Kirkwood joked as Randall joined her on the sofa.

Kirkwood joined the BBC Weather Centre in April 1998 and began broadcasting on the BBC News channel, before making regular appearances on BBC One. She has been BBC Breakfast’s main weather presenter since 2010.

Find updates from Kirkwood’s final weather broadcast below.

‘Thank you for letting me a part of your lives’

Carol Kirkwood fought back tears while addressing the nation before retiring from the BBC.

“This is a forecast I’ve known for quite a while was coming, but that doesn’t make it easier to present because after 28 years as s a BBC weather presenter, tracking storms, chasing sunshine and occasionally getting it completely wrong, I’m saying goodbye. When I first walked into this studio, I could never have imagined the journey ahead.

“Back then, the graphics were simpler, the maps were clunkier and I had a lot less grey hair than I do, but one thing has never changed, and that is the privilege and honour of being welcomed into your homes. Thank you for trusting me – you’ve been the constant in all of this and I’ve never taken that for granted. I’m really going to miss you.

“As for what comes next, for once I don’t have a detailed forecast – but I do know this: it’s time for a new chapter and perhaps the luxury of watching the weather instead of presenting it. Thank you for letting me be a part of your lives.”

Carol surprised by husband Steve

“You told me you weren’t coming in! You’re in trouble,” Carol jokes while being presented with a huge bunch of flowers from her husband, police officer Steve Randall.

Steve says it’s going to be “the best thing ever” to have Carol at home more – and not just because he also wakes up at 2.45am to make his wife a cuppa while she gets ready to go into the studio.

“I will treasure this!” she says, holding back tears.

The ‘celebrity’ that’s eluded Carol Kirkwood over the years

She’s met high-profile stars over the years, but one star that she’s failed to meet is, um… Larry the Cat, the tabby cat residing at 10 Downing Street. But this was rectified earlier this week.

“I’m in love!” she declared. “What a lovely wee man. He was a delight. He’s so soft. He’s the perfect gentleman.”

Carol presents final BBC weather segment

…and it played out like any other segment she’s presented for the last 28 years. After telling the UK to prepare for cold and windy weather, hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay applauded her, telling her it was “perfect”.

“Shame about the weather, though,” Kay added.

Carol is reunited with dog that pulled her off screen

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Flash, the dog that famously yanked Carol out of shot at Chelsea Flower Show in 2021, was brought into the studio for the outgoing weather presenter’s final show – and proceeded to whip her with her wagging tail.

“I’m gonna have a bruise,” Carol quipped. “Again!” host Sally Nugent replied.

‘You’ve set the tone’

Moving words from host Jon Kay:

“There are dozens and dozens of people in the gallery on the studio floor, in the newsroom, and you mean just as much to all of them. You’ve set the tone, you really have, for all of us on this programme over the years. Your legacy will continue. We will be more Carol.”

Rival breakfast shows merge with Susanna Reid tribute

It’s a very special occasion when ITV and BBC coalesce – and that happened for Carol’s final episode. Former BBC Breakfast host Susanna Reid sent a tribute from the studio where she films rival breakfast show Good Morning Britain.

“Remember the time I was sitting alongside Bill Turnbull and you told us we were going to experience temperatures of 99 degrees celsius across the UK, causing a slightly bemused nation to wonder how to dress for the day ahead!”

Dame Esther was discussing assisted dying on the show, something she is passionate about as she believes people should be given an option to end their suffering with medical help when they are ill.

The Childline founder and former broadcaster was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in January 2023, and has since been a leading voice in the campaign to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales.

While speaking over the phone and during her response, she used the word ‘crap’, which Kate apologised for.

Good Morning Britain presenters over the years

Although she acknowledged the blunder, Kate found the humour in it and said that she forgave Dame Esther for the language used.

GMB rounded up the conversation in a video on X, leaving out the blunder from Dame Esther, commenting: “Dame Esther Rantzen has claimed that most people in Britain “want and need” the assisted dying bill and has spent the last few years campaigning for the bill.”

Before Rantzen spoke over the phone, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, who opposes the assisted dying bill, had her say.

The GMB coverage this morning comes as “supporters and opponents of the Assisted Dying Bill have now acknowledged that the legislation will not become law in the current session of Parliament”, it explained in a post on X.

She said at the moment, there are still lots of amendments that haven’t been debated.

What is the assisted dying bill?

The assisted dying bill is being campaigned for by people who believe that when people are ill, they should have a choice to medically end their life to stop suffering from an illness.

A whopping £5000 was raised to be split between the DreamMaker Foundation, who helps kids with life-limiting illnesses and Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).

Anglers from across Lanarkshire gathered in the Clyde Valley to mark the start of this year’s salmon season.

Wishaw charity king Les Hoey, from the DreamMaker Foundation, was delighted to be part of the ceremony with the Clyde Valley of the United Clyde Angling Protective Association (UCAPA) members.

On the day a whopping £5000 was raised to be split between the DreamMaker Foundation, who helps kids with life-limiting illnesses and Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) which provides the country’s only hospice services for children and young people with life-shortening conditions, and services across children’s homes and hospitals.

Brian Pender, from the United Clyde Angling Protective Association (UCAPA), said: “I have known Les for over 30 years and the work he does for the charity is fantastic.

“UCAPA raised £5,000 with our raffle and auction at our salmon open day which we held at the Popinjay Hotel with half going to Les and the other half going to CHAS.

“The day itself was excellent with a large number of people attending.”

Les and the DreamMaker team were absolutely delighted with the bumper donation from the anglers.

He said: “We are very grateful for this huge amount at the opening of the salmon season on the Clyde.

“It’s a great amount and we really appreciate it.”

Meanwhile, Les and the team are on the hunt for businesses across Lanarkshire to help raise funds for the charity by placing a donation tin in their shop or store.

In a statement on its website, the DreamMaker Foundation state: “We’re reaching out to businesses across Scotland to help us raise vital funds for our wee DreamMakers.

“By placing one of our donation tins at your till, you can make a real impact in your community and help those in need all across Scotland.

The housing construction company is looking to submit a planning application soon

A housing construction company is looking to submit a planning application to use farmland on the edge a Cambridgeshire town for a new housing development. Bellway Strategic Land wants to use Dexter’s Farm, which can be found along the A1198 just outside Godmanchester, to create a residential development of up to 260 new homes.

Bellway’s proposal says the area would feature up to 260 new homes with around 80 of them being affordable to help people “get onto the housing ladder”. In its proposal, Bellway said: “In the East of England, Huntingdonshire has the fifth highest number of people on the housing waiting list register and therefore has some of the most acute need in terms of affordable housing.”

Huntingdonshire District Council has identified the area as a potential site for new homes. The site has been described as “well-located” with a primary school close by, local facilities including a Co-op food store, and good transport links.

As well as homes, the site will also features green spaces including habitats for wildlife and play areas for children. A new roundabout would be created on the A1198 and the 30mph speed limit will be extended to slow traffic around the area.

Bellway ran a public consultation period from Friday, February 13, until Friday, February 27, to allow residents to share their opinions on the possible new development. The company is planning to submit its application by the end of spring.

Residents will then be notified by Huntingdonshire District Council and will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the plans.
