Only last Thursday had owners Audrey and Greg Turley confirmed his retirement, after an injury prevented his attempt at securing a third consecutive Gold Cup title in March

Dual Gold Cup champion Galopin Des Champs has died tragically just days following the announcement of his retirement from the sport.

The Cheltenham hero of 2023 and 2024, who claimed 12 Grade One victories throughout his career, succumbed to injuries suffered in a field accident on Wednesday morning at Ruby Walsh’s County Kildare farm.

Only last Thursday had owners Audrey and Greg Turley confirmed his retirement, after an injury prevented his attempt at securing a third consecutive Gold Cup title in March.

Ruby Walsh released a statement to Racing TV saying: “Sadly Galopin Des Champs suffered an injury in his field this morning and could not be saved.”

The champion had been sent to Walsh’s care with hopes of beginning a new chapter in equestrian sport alongside his eldest daughter Isabelle, reports the Irish Mirror.

Walsh continued: “He was checked a few times throughout the morning but late in the morning when I went to get him for exercise I found him with a severe injury, high up on his near front leg.

“He was attended to by our vets immediately but x-rays revealed extensive unrepairable damage.

“He was a fabulous racehorse whose short time with us has left lots of broken hearts but none more so than those of Greg, Audrey and Sarah Turley and Adam Connolly who looked after him for so long.

“He will be sadly missed.”

Under Willie Mullins’ training, Galopin Des Champs achieved three Cheltenham Festival victories, including the 2021 Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle before his subsequent Gold Cup triumphs. Having triumphed in 15 of his 26 career races, the horse etched his name into the record books with a remarkable hat-trick of Irish Gold Cup victories at Leopardstown’s Dublin Racing Festival, celebrated in truly memorable fashion.

Widely regarded as one of the finest chasers of the 21st century, his retirement last week prompted his owner Audrey Turley to reflect fondly: “We’ve had the best time of our lives, we really have.

“We never thought this would happen to us. We’ve had the most wonderful time.”

When pressed on whether a single occasion stood out, she remarked: “Three Irish Gold Cups and the two at Cheltenham, it’s hard to pick out one. Every time it was just a wonderful surprise, it was just magnificent.

“I don’t know if I could say one day, maybe the first Cheltenham Gold Cup as that was just extraordinary – like something out of a dream, the joy it brought.

“The other day was in Leopardstown when he won the third (Irish) Gold Cup. Everybody was singing, `ole, ole, ole’ and that just made the hair stand up on the back of our necks.

“People love him and we still have people coming up on Instagram and TikTok saying, `we miss him, we miss him’. He was so well loved and deserved to be loved, he was just wonderful.

“Everybody did take to him and he was an unassuming character really when you think of it, but he just loved it – I think he enjoyed every bit of it himself.”

Andy Burnham vowed a nationalisation drive, blaming Thatcher and Brexit for the country’s woes, as he finally faced a grilling from MPs today.

The premier is making a statement in the Commons as it returns from recess, laying out the ‘direction’ of his Government. 

Flanked by Chancellor John Healey and his effective deputy Louise Haigh, Mr Burnham insisted the country had taken ‘wrong turns’ over the past 40 years, with privatisation compounded by leaving the EU. 

He said he had listened to voters and would act by returning ‘ownership’, deploying a slew of jargon about his ‘triple helix theory of economic development’. 

The PM also paid tribute to predecessor Keir Starmer, who has announced he is standing down as an MP. He said Sir Keir had created a ‘platform to change this country for the better’.

But in their first direct clashes, Kemi Badenoch ridiculed Mr Burnham for blaming Thatcher four decades after she was in power. She jibed that the PM was ‘living in the past’ and wanted to take Britain ‘back to the 1970s’. 

‘He is going to have to start taking this job seriously,’ she said.

The premier dodged demands to confirm there will be no tax rises at the Budget next month, refusing to commit to cutting benefits instead. 

Mr Burnham is facing mounting anger over the prisoner early release scheme and the prospect of tax hikes to fund more spending.

Ministers have warned of ‘difficult’ decisions looming in the Budget, as Government borrowing costs spiked again this morning.

Interest rates on 30-year gilts – one of the main ways the Treasury finances debt – hit 5.89 per cent, the highest level since 1998.  

Global markets have been spooked by inflation pressures from the Middle East crisis and fears about an AI crash.

In other developments today:

• Keir Starmer has announced he is quitting as an MP, despite insisting he would stay on until the next election; 
• Mr Burnham swiped at his predecessor this morning by telling Cabinet voters had noticed a ‘change of pace’ since he took over; 
• The PM has declared that he will be going to the COP31 climate summit in Turkey in November; 
• Ex-Treasury minister Darren Jones has warned that Britain cannot become wealthier through raising taxes for more Government spending;
• Donald Trump has said he is ‘reviewing’ the US position on the Falklands Islands, amid tensions over the Government’s stance towards Israel;
• Mrs Badenoch has finished reshuffling her shadow cabinet, axeing big beasts as she puts the Tories on a war footing for an election.

Mr Burnham has vowed to take ‘stronger public control’ over ‘essentials’ such as water.

‘From the 1980s, this country took a series of wrong turns – political power was centralised, economic power privatised, the country deindustrialised,’ he told the Commons.

‘Britain’s water industry stands as a leaking monument to that approach – a country run in the private rather than public interest – and that is now abundantly clear to voters of all parties, including the party opposite.

‘The Government I lead will be relentless in giving people and places what they were promised 10 years ago, ownership and control, and from that control over their destiny comes change and growth.’

He said: ‘Later in the year, our 10-year plan for Britain will set out plans for stronger public control over these essentials, making them work for people and places again.’

Mr Burnham took over from Keir Starmer just as Parliament went into its break, meaning he has benefited from a ‘soft launch’ with the public’s focus largely on the sunshine instead of politics.

The new leader has gifted Labour a bounce in the polls. However that looks to be fading and the former Greater Manchester mayor has already been forced into a bewildering variety of policy shifts.

Earlier, Mr Burnham worked up a sweat on his jog around Westminster before gathering Cabinet in No10, congratulating them on the Government’s ‘sense of momentum’. 

According to a Downing Street readout, Mr Burnham ‘said the country has noticed a change of pace with the Government setting the agenda and starting the process of giving local areas the levers they need to create good growth’.

‘He said that during his summer tour, it was clear that life was hard for many people, that they wanted to have hope and hear a positive outlook for the country.’

The PM’s statement was his first appearance at the despatch box since he was a minister 16 years ago. 

Mr Burnham’s push to nationalise water has already run into trouble because it could cost billions of pounds.

In an interview today Chancellor John Healey admitted there are already ‘difficult’ decisions looming in the Budget. 

A No10 source said: ‘Andy is optimistic about our country’s future. He has a clear plan for how we turn things round. He is determined we make this the moment we bring back hope.’

The session will see Mr Burnham clash directly with Kemi Badenoch for the first time, who used the Bank Holiday to reshuffle her shadow cabinet ready for an early election – axeing Tory big beasts including Sir Mel Stride and Dame Priti Patel.

MPs are poised to probe the PM on the slew of policies he announced over the summer – which critics say were unfunded.

That includes the cut to VAT on energy bills which comes into force next month, and slashing business rates for pubs and clubs.

Mr Burnham must explain how he will fill a £4.7billion funding gap in the defence investment plan, left to him by predecessor Sir Keir.

This morning the yield on ten-year gilts – a benchmark for what the Treasury pays to borrow money – climbed to an 18-year high of 5.21 per cent after an international market sell-off. The rise was the steepest since May and increases the pressure on Mr Healey ahead of his first Budget.

Mr Healey conceded last week the Budget will not set a timetable for spending 3 per cent of GDP on defence, instead that schedule will be laid out at the spending review next year – even though Mr Healey quit Sir Keir’s government in protest at the lack of a firm commitment.  

Mr Healey told The Times he was still determined to scale up spending on defence. 

‘For the first time at the spending review, we will set out a clear path about how we meet that Nato commitment in 2035, of 2.5 per cent of GDP,’ he said. ‘And as part of setting out that clear path, we will set that target date for 3 per cent.’

Mr Burnham could also be quizzed on his commitment to bring Thames Water under public ownership, and whether drilling will be allowed at the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields in the North Sea.

Crunch decisions on a flagship Bill to tighten immigration law, and calls for MPs to change electoral law are also on the horizon.

The session this afternoon will see Mr Burnham clash directly with Kemi Badenoch (pictured) for the first time

After Mr Burnham’s statement, Justice Secretary Alex Norris will give the Commons details of the plans for the early release scheme review to relieve prison overcrowding.

Over the weekend the PM said the killers of Thames Valley Police officer Andrew Harper will not be eligible for the scheme following a widespread backlash.

Mr Burnham initially resisted calls to limit the scheme further after it emerged that Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole, who were convicted of PC Harper’s manslaughter in 2020, would be eligible from next year.

Ministers also plan to create capacity in prisons by building hundreds of new places with a £110million investment, by deporting foreign prisoners and releasing inmates who are serving indefinite sentences under imprisonment for public protection sentences (IPPs).

John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘Andy Burnham talks big about his theory of growth, but his plans are just the same old tax-and-spend policies that have punished taxpayers for generations.

‘The prime minister’s obsession with state ownership and five-year plans will ensure that ‘growth’ remains only a theory.

‘If this new government wishes to deliver growth and provide real economic change, they urgently need to get spending and borrowing under control.’

Chelsea and Manchester City have reached a £125million agreement for the transfer of Enzo Fernandez in the final hours of transfer deadline day.

A summer-long transfer saga is reaching its conclusion with Fernandez finally getting his wish to reunite with former Blues head coach Enzo Maresca at the Etihad Stadium. Sources have told football.london that Chelsea have agreed to sell the 25-year-old midfielder for £125m to their Premier League rivals.

That is a club-record sale from Chelsea, who managed to get more than the £120m they initially quoted Man City this summer. As soon as Fernandez made his desire to depart Stamford Bridge clear back in May, Chelsea informed potential suitors they would need to splash £120m to acquire the Argentina international.

Those terms were on the table until earlier this month. Chelsea increased their price tag after no club engaged with their unofficial transfer deadline for Fernandez, at 5pm on August 14. City opened talks with the Blues officially on Monday evening – and that was the first time there has been direct club-to-club contact all summer – and saw an early offer rebuffed for the Argentine.

After an intense day of negotiations on Tuesday, deadline day, the two clubs have finally reached an agreement. Fernandez has been desperate to leave Stamford Bridge all summer-long and while Chelsea were happy to keep him as part of Xabi Alonso’s squad, they were never going to turn down a joint-British transfer record.

The sale of Fernandez means Chelsea will bank beyond £400m this summer, including add-ons. That is a record amount and surpasses the £340m that Paris Saint-Germain received this summer.

In the final hours of the window, Chelsea want to add at least one more player. Manu Kone remains an option but there is an acceptance that striking a deal with AS Roma will prove complicated with manager Gian Piero Gasperini desperate to keep hold of the France international beyond the 11pm deadline.

A deal for Lamine Camara looks more straightforward but nothing is agreed at the time of writing. Chelsea saw a £38.5m offer turned down by AS Monaco for the Senegal international earlier on in the day but remain locked in talks with the Ligue 1 club.

A young Bank of America executive died after being stabbed by a knife-wielding woman in the middle of Times Square, who was later gunned down by police. 

Erin Piacenti, 32, of Chester in the Garden State, died after being slashed in the stomach by Pamela Cisneros Lopez, 49, officials said. 

According to her LinkedIn profile, Piacenti worked as Bank of America’s vice president of business selection and conflicts.  

Social media posts also indicate that she had recently celebrated her second wedding anniversary after marrying her husband Frank in August of 2024. 

Lopez was finally stopped by officers after the random stabbing spree, in which she also knifed a 68-year-old man in the stomach. He remains in hospital in a stable condition. 

Footage showed officers firing a taser at Lopez, from Queens, as she refused to back down and waved the two kitchen knives at them.

Police then shot the woman, and she immediately fell to the ground where she was handcuffed and given first aid. 

Prior to the video, Lopez had pulled two knives from a shopping bag and stabbed the man who was waiting to cross the street with his wife, police said. 

Lopez is then said to have stabbed Piacenti in the abdomen, who died from her injuries.

At a press conference alongside Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Lopez had told officers during a brief standoff: ‘I’m not dropping anything, I would rather kill both of you.’

Tisch told reporters: ‘This was an extraordinarily dangerous situation unfolding in the heart of Times Square, the crossroads of the world.

‘At any given moment, there are thousands of New Yorkers, commuters, tourists, families, workers moving through these streets.’ 

She added that Lopez has a ‘documented mental health history’ with the department which included two incidents in 2018 and 2019 but she was never arrested. 

Police have yet to confirm whether the victims were tourists visiting the city, or are residents. 

Both Tisch and Mayor Mamdani praised the officers, saying more people could have been hurt or killed if not for their actions. 

The incident had initially been reported as a knifepoint robbery, but officers believe the emotionally-disturbed woman had no clear motive for the attack, ABC 7 reports.

A witness recorded the moment with his smart glasses and described Lopez as being armed with two knives. They told PIX11: ‘She ran down, the cops went by, they surrounded her, talked to her for like five minutes.’

Witness Linda Ruiz also shared what she saw in the moments before police arrived on scene.

‘I saw a guy bleeding profusely from his right leg,’ she told the Daily News. ‘He was gushing blood, saying “I need help. Help me.”‘ 

‘I went to get a cop on the corner and there was another lady on the floor,’ Ruiz continued. ‘She was stabbed in the back or in the chest, I couldn’t tell.

‘There was a lot of blood,’ Ruiz noted. ‘She wasn’t conscious. The police were trying to resuscitate her, but she wasn’t moving. It was horrible.’ 

Hassan Abdallah, who works at a fruit cart stand on 41st Street and Seventh Avenue, two blocks away, said he watched as a woman tended to the male stabbing victim, who appeared to be her husband. 

‘I heard a lady screaming and then people were running like crazy,’ he recounted. ‘I went outside [the cart]. I saw an old guy, like 60, Asian. He was standing, holding his back. He got stabbed.

‘His wife was trying to stop the bleeding. She was using a book or some paper, then someone gave her a scarf. I gave him a paper towel. His wife told him to lay on the floor.’

Police are investigating. Tisch said there was no evidence suggesting it was a terrorist attack.

The village church, between Northallerton and Stokesley, was founded around 1150.

Much of the building was rebuilt in 1860, but important medieval features survived – including the chancel arch, part of the south doorway and a rare 12th-century font carved with a bearded face and a centaur drawing a bow.

Its significance is reflected in its Grade II* listing, a status given to particularly important buildings of more than special interest.

A Norman church in North Yorkshire

St Oswald’s stands on the edge of West Rounton, a small village beneath the Cleveland Hills.

Although its present appearance is largely Victorian, the church’s Norman origins are still visible.

The most striking survival is the south doorway.

It has columns with carved capitals, a zigzag-patterned arch and distinctive Norman decoration, offering a direct link to the church built in the 12th century.

Inside, the Norman font is another highlight.

The stone bowl features carved figures, including a bearded face and a centaur aiming an arrow – an unusual survival from the medieval church.

The chancel arch, also dating from the original building, divides the nave from the chancel and is one of the clearest traces of St Oswald’s earliest history.

Victorian rebuilding

By the middle of the 19th century, the medieval church had been substantially altered and was rebuilt in 1860 by architect James Pigott Pritchett.

Pritchett, a Yorkshire architect known for church restoration and Gothic Revival work, redesigned most of the building while preserving the key Norman fragments.

The resulting church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof.

It has a simple nave and chancel, a south porch and north vestry, with a gabled bellcote at the west end containing two arched openings for bells.

The combination of Victorian rebuilding and Norman fabric means the church tells two stories at once: the long religious history of the village and the 19th-century drive to restore and preserve parish churches.

A living village church

St Oswald’s remains an active parish church rather than simply a historic building.

Its church listing says the building is open 24 hours a day, offering a place for visitors, personal reflection and worship.

Regular Sunday services are held at 10am, varying between Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion, Common Worship Morning Prayer, a locally led Celtic service and Common Worship Holy Communion.

The church’s welcome to visitors includes a small trail to spot carved mice – an extra detail which makes it particularly appealing for families exploring the area.

Visiting St Oswald’s

St Oswald’s Church is in West Rounton, North Yorkshire, close to the A19 and within easy reach of Northallerton, Stokesley and Osmotherley.

Its preserved Norman doorway and font make it worth a stop for anyone interested in North Yorkshire’s medieval churches, while its open-door policy offers a quiet place to pause in one of the county’s smallest villages.

As opening arrangements and services can change, visitors should check the church’s online listing before making a special journey.

The supermarket giant has teamed up with charging network Be.EV to offer one point for every £1 spent at Be.EV charging stations, with more than 2,500 bays across 680 UK locations.

Shama Wilson, Tesco Group’s membership and loyalty director, said: “We are always looking for new ways for Clubcard members to collect Clubcard points and so we are delighted to announce our new partnership with Be.EV.

“This will allow Clubcard members to collect points when they charge their vehicles at thousands of charging bays across the UK.

“With more and more Tesco shoppers opting for electric vehicles, we’re sure that many of our customers will be excited by this latest addition to Clubcard.”

To earn points, users must link their Clubcard to the Be.EV app.

Once connected, points are collected automatically with each charge.

Be.EV, founded in Greater Manchester in 2019, is now among the UK’s top 10 largest charging networks.

Some of its bays are already installed at Tesco Express stores.

Asif Ghafoor, CEO of Be.EV, said: “This is about making the switch to electric genuinely worth it.

“Drivers are already charging on these journeys but now every charge means they can collect Clubcard points to spend on their weekly shop or a day out.

“Pairing reliable ultra-rapid charging with rewards people actually value is how you make EV ownership feel effortless.”

Tesco’s Clubcard programme currently has around 24 million members in the UK.

A British national has been rescued almost a week after devastating floods hit Nepal, which have killed more than 1,000 people.

Issuing an update on its search and rescue operation, the Nepali Army on Tuesday said: “Nepali Army rescued a total of 119 people including a British citizen through air resources today”,

The statement, posted on social media, added: “In addition to this, Nepali Army has rescued 273 foreigners along with a total of 3891 people through air resources.”

The British national has not been identified yet.

The death toll from Nepal’s floods surpassed 1,000 on Tuesday as rescuers deployed heavy machinery, helicopters and excavators to reach thousands still missing nearly ⁠a week after the Himalayan disaster tore through towns and valleys.

At least 639 people remain stranded in devastated hydropower stations that have become the focus of rescue efforts, Nepal’s disaster management authority ⁠said on Tuesday.

A glacier collapse on 26 August sent a deluge of ice, rock and mud sweeping through the nation’s border region with China.

The death toll rose to 1,050, while about 4,000 people remain missing, ​including ⁠583 foreign nationals.

The disaster left at least 2.2m tons of debris, according to a preliminary estimate by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), including parts of buildings, rocks, and sediment.

“The amount of debris shows the scale of the destruction and the challenge communities face as ⁠they clear homes, roads and public spaces and begin to rebuild,” it said.

More than 11,000 people have been rescued, and power and communication lines ​were restored ⁠in some areas, prime minister Balendra Shah said in a ‌social media post on Monday.

Shah said 279 workers were rescued from hydropower projects, with joint teams from Nepal, India and China working on search-and-rescue operations.

Jurors in Lindsay Clancy‘s murder trial told the judge they were unable to come to a unanimous decision on a verdict on the fourth day of deliberations.

The jury, made up of nine women and three men, has spent a total of 18 hours deliberating Clancy’s fate. Judge William R Sullivan sent them back out to continue weighing up their decision on Tuesday morning.

The jury must decide whether Clancy is guilty of three murder counts after the former labor and delivery nurse killed her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months, using exercise bands at her home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023. 

Clancy has pleaded not guilty in her case, citing postpartum depression, psychosis and overmedication by prescribers. Prosecutors acknowledged that Clancy was mentally ill, but maintain that she knew what she was doing at the time of the killings.

The jury, who are non-sequestered, heard five grueling weeks of evidence from doctors, psychiatry experts, police, friends and family before they broke for deliberations. 

Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington told reporters that he was ‘confident in this jury’ and that ‘they’re doing a great job working on the case,’ outside of the Plymouth County Superior Courthouse yesterday. ‘They’ve been focused and dedicated throughout the whole trial,’ he said.

‘Members of the jury I’ve got your question and the question is, “After many hours of deliberation we are unable to come to a unanimous decision,”‘ Judge William Sullivan said.

He acknowledged the length of the trial, but ordered the jury to continue deliberations and sent them back.

‘I brought you back out because I know that this was a long trial, alright. I know that there were over 80 witness, there were over 300 exhibits, but because of that I’m going to ask you to back out, keeping in mind all of the instructions that I gave you, to go out and to continue you deliberations,’ Sullivan said.

The panel of 12, made up of nine women and three men, must reach a unanimous decision on whether Clancy is guilty of murder, manslaughter or not criminally responsible for her actions.

What happened to the Clancy children?

On January 24, 2023, Clancy announced she’d had an exhausting day looking after their three young children so she asked husband Patrick if he didn’t mind going out on an errand. He just needed to pick up some children’s medicine and a takeout dinner order as she’d been too tired to cook, she told him.

Patrick, 36, who worked in software sales for Microsoft, was happy to oblige. But when he returned to their home in the well-to-do Boston coastal suburb of Duxbury less than an hour later at around 6pm, he discovered that their happy family existence had been snuffed out in an act of almost unimaginable violence.

After going upstairs to find his wife, who he imagined was giving the children a bath, he discovered their second-floor bedroom door was locked and had to force his way in. Inside, there was blood on the floor, a bloody knife on the nightstand and the room was chilly as a window had been left open.

He ran downstairs to find his wife lying barely conscious outside. She had cut her wrists and neck before jumping out of the window, falling some 20ft onto frozen ground. She told him she’d tried to kill herself, adding – when he asked – that the children were in the basement.

Patrick stayed by her side for the next 10 minutes after dialing 911, convinced that she might die before the paramedics arrived.

Only when they turned up did he hurry inside to find the children – five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and Callan, just eight months. They were indeed in the basement – they had all been strangled with resistance bands.

Sprague continued: ‘She didn’t see them in that moment as individual human beings with rights, with dreams, with futures.

Cardiff City have confirmed another outgoing deal on transfer deadline day, with midfielder Cody Twose joining Haverfordwest County on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old has spent virtually his entire footballing journey with the Bluebirds, having joined the club at the age of nine, and this move represents an important next step in his development as he looks to secure regular senior football.

Haverfordwest have confirmed that Twose will spend the remainder of the campaign with them in the Novira Cymru Premier, giving the midfielder his first experience of a sustained run of first-team football.

Twose has been a prominent figure through the various age groups at Cardiff and has already had a taste of senior football.

He made his Cardiff first-team debut in August 2024, coming off the bench in the second half of the Carabao Cup tie against Southampton.

He has also represented Wales at a number of age-group levels.

Haverfordwest manager Tony Pennock believes Twose can provide an important boost to his midfield, particularly with Clayton Green set to be unavailable for the next few months.

“Cody is an exciting prospect who has been at Cardiff City since he was nine,” Pennock said.

“Cody can play throughout midfield and will add to our options now that Clayton Green is going to be unavailable for the next few months.

“He has represented Wales at several age groups, and this being his first loan will hopefully give him the experiences needed to progress his career.”

Twose has also revealed that he had been considering a number of options before deciding Haverfordwest was the right move for him.

“I’m excited to join the club. There’s good quality in the group,” he said.

“Today’s session was really good, getting to know the boys, and I’m looking forward to taking it into the games now.

“I’ve been looking at a few moves, and this came up and I thought it was right for me.

“I think I’ve made the right decision, with the training today and the way the gaffer has spoken to me, and I’m really excited to get going.”
