UK weather warning for snow as Met Office says travel disruption likely

Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice persist across parts of the UK, as an Arctic maritime air mass brings colder conditions from northern Scotland southwards. The Met Office forecasts outbreaks of rain early on Friday, raising concerns about icy roads and potential travel disruption.

A specific yellow weather warning for snow and ice is active for Scotland, running from 4pm on Thursday until midday on Friday. Forecasters caution that snow showers and treacherous icy surfaces could lead to travel delays and a risk of “some slips and falls” for pedestrians.

The forecaster said by Friday morning, there may be 1-2cm of snow on low ground while on hills above 300 metres (984ft), accumulations of 2-5cm are possible, and up to 10cm “very locally”.

In northern England, a yellow weather warning for snow and ice has been issued from 7pm on Thursday until midday on Friday.

Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow will likely lead to “icy surfaces and some travel disruption”, the Met Office said.

The weather is expected to stay cloudy and wet across the south on Friday, but is likely to clear later on in the day.

Forecaster Marco Petagna said: “We’ve got colder air starting to feed in from the north and that’s gradually going to push its way south across all parts for the next 24 hours or so.

“As the air sinks down from the north, we’re going to see outbreaks of rain, with some snow mainly on the hills, although across parts of Scotland, it’s quite low levels, as things turn a bit more showery tonight.

“Until midday tomorrow, there’s a couple of snow and ice warnings out for Scotland and Northern England.”

The forecaster said to be “wary” of ice and snow, with potential disruption to transport.

Mr Petagna said there will likely be “widespread frost” on Friday night, but added that Saturday will probably be “the best day we’ve seen for some time” with “a lot of sunshine across the UK”.

He said the temperatures will be “cooler than average”, but this will be “offset by the sunshine”.

Teenage boy who stabbed Leo Ross to death is named for first time

A teenage boy who fatally stabbed 12-year-old Leo Ross in an unprovoked attack has been named for the first time as Kian Moulton.

Leo was knifed in the stomach as he walked home from school in Yardley Wood on 21 January 2025. The 15-year-old was detained for a minimum of 13 years on Tuesday after he admitted to murder during a hearing at Birmingham Crown Court in January.

Leo, a student at Christ Church, Church of England Secondary Academy, is believed to be the youngest victim of knife crime in the West Midlands. His family described him in a statement as an “amazing, kind, loving” boy.

He is not believed to have had any connection with his killer.

The murderer’s name can be published after a judge lifted the automatic anonymity granted to under-18s in court. Speaking during the sentencing on Tuesday, Mr Justice Choudhury KC said, in his view, the killer should be named because of the public interest in the case.

“The defendant has pleaded guilty and falls to be sentenced for very serious crimes, including murder – the most serious of all,” he said. He added the public would want to know “what could have led a child to commit such acts”.

Moulton, who was 14 at the time of the killing, also attempted to drown an 82-year-old woman and attacked two other elderly women days before the fatal incident, a court previously heard.

He admitted two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent on 19 and 20 January 2025, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm on 21 January 2025, in relation to the separate attacks on other victims, as well as having a bladed article on the day he killed Leo.

Prosecution counsel Rachel Brand KC said the boy had told an 82-year-old woman, “I tried to drown you, but now I’m going to kill you,” after pushing her into a river and hitting her with her own walking pole just two days before Leo’s murder.

The woman was taken to hospital and was found to have sustained multiple bruises and a laceration to her head, a broken nose and black eyes. She had also fractured a rib and two of her fingers, which required surgery.

A second woman, aged 72, was left bleeding “profusely” from a head wound and later required surgery after she was attacked, the court heard.

In a witness statement given to the police, the woman said: “I think this incident will make me feel nervous about going out alone. I feel emotional about what has happened.”

A video released by police after the sentencing shows how the killer hung around to talk to officers at the murder scene, falsely claiming he had stumbled across Leo lying fatally injured beside the River Cole.

He denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm on 22 October 2024 and assault by beating on 29 December 2024 in relation to two further victims, and those charges were ordered to lie on file.

‘Get a grip’ of No 10 briefings, Starmer told after cabinet secretary forced out

Sir Keir Starmer has been told by a former cabinet secretary that he must “get a grip” of “shabby” negative briefings against civil servants, after Sir Chris Wormald became the latest member of the prime minister’s top team to step down.

Sir Chris stood down as Britain’s top civil servant after just 14 months on Thursday evening, days after the resignations of chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, and communications chief, Tim Allan.

Opposition leaders have accused Sir Keir of throwing his outgoing cabinet secretary “under the bus” to “save his own skin”, as he seeks to reset his Downing Street operation following the Peter Mandelson vetting scandal.

Gus O’Donnell, who served as cabinet secretary under three prime ministers, said Sir Keir must “take responsibility” for the pattern of briefings, which he called one of the current Labour government’s “biggest failings”.

“Where it’s shabby is the fact that we’ve got to this place and that they have briefed anonymously against the cabinet secretary, saying it’s not working,” Lord O’Donnell told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

“They’ve been doing this for a long time. This is a process that this government – I’m afraid it’s one of their biggest failings.”

Referring to the resignation of Sue Gray, who quit as Labour’s chief of staff in 2024 following briefings against her, he added: “This is the fundamental problem and that is something the prime minister can solve by getting a grip on his special advisers.”

Asked whether special advisers (Spads) had become too active, Lord O’Donnell said “really good Spads are really useful,” but added: “Bad special advisers turn out to be second-rate PR people – [they] can be disastrous.”

He cited the pre-Budget operations as another example of poor government briefings, describing the run-up to the autumn statement last year as a “complete omnishambles from a comms point of view”.

“The prime minister must take responsibility and get a grip,” Lord O’Donnell, who led the civil service during the premierships of Sir Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron, said.

The Cabinet Office said on Thursday that Sir Chris had come to a “mutual” agreement with the prime minister to step down as cabinet secretary with immediate effect.

It follows a string of negative reports in the media suggesting his performance was being called into question after he was appointed by Sir Keir just 14 months ago.

After 35 years in the civil service, Sir Chris is now the shortest-serving cabinet secretary in history, lasting less than the 23 months Sir Mark Sedwill held the position for under Theresa May and Boris Johnson.

Sir Chris is said to have received a £260,000 payout as part of the agreement that saw him leave the role, with No 10 declining to comment on reports that the payment had to be signed off by the prime minister as it did not meet Whitehall’s value-for-money rules.

In a series of broadcast interviews on Friday morning, water minister Emma Hardy rejected suggestions Sir Chris had been blamed for Sir Keir’s own failings.

She dismissed accusations from Tory leader Kemi Badenoch that the senior official had been “thrown under the bus” by the prime minister as “the usual political knockabout”.

He is widely expected to be replaced by Home Office permanent secretary Dame Antonia Romeo, viewed by Downing Street as a “disrupter”, despite warnings from her former boss at the Foreign Office.

Dame Antonia previously faced allegations of bullying related to her time as consul-general in New York, but she was later cleared by the Cabinet Office.

Sheriff accused of blocking FBI access in Nancy Guthrie abduction

A local sheriff is impeding FBI access to key evidence in the Nancy Guthrie abduction probe, a law enforcement official with knowledge of the case has said.

Guthrie, the mother of TV journalist Savannah Guthrie, went missing on February 1 from her residence in Arizona’s Catalina Foothills.

The official says the FBI asked Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos for physical evidence, including a glove and DNA from the home, to be processed at the FBI’s national crime laboratory in Quantico, Virginia.

However, Nanos has instead insisted on using a private Florida lab, effectively denying the FBI access to crucial evidence, the official said.

A spokesperson for the sheriff did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.

In a press update released earlier in the day, the sheriff’s department said investigators had “recovered several items of evidence, including gloves,” adding that all viable evidence is submitted for analysis.

The agency did not elaborate.

The Pima County sheriff has primary jurisdiction over the case, and FBI assistance must be officially requested by the county otherwise the FBI is legally precluded from taking part in the investigation. The official said that the county has spent some $200,000 so far to send evidence in the Guthrie case to the Florida lab.

“It risks further slowing a case that grows more urgent by the minute,” the official said, citing unspecified “earlier setbacks” in the investigation.

The official also criticized the sheriff for not seeking FBI assistance in the investigation sooner.

“It’s clear the fastest path to answers is leveraging federal resources and technology. Anything less only prolongs the Guthrie family’s grief and the community’s wait for justice,” the official said.

Signs of friction between the FBI and sheriff’s department emerged as the search for Nancy Guthrie stretched into its 12th day, as investigators intensified their search for clues in the presumed kidnapping for ransom.

Guthrie was last seen on January 31 when family dropped her off at her home following an evening dinner with them, and relatives reported her missing the following day, authorities said.

The sheriff said the elder Guthrie had extremely limited mobility and could not have wandered off far from home unassisted, leading investigators to conclude early on that she had been abducted by force.

Traces of blood found on Guthrie’s front porch were confirmed by DNA tests to have come from the grandmother, officials said last week.

Law enforcement and family members have described her as being in frail health and in need of daily medication to survive.

At least two purported ransom notes have surfaced since Guthrie vanished, both of them delivered initially to news media outlets and setting two deadlines that have since lapsed. But no proof of life is known to have surfaced following her abduction.

Savannah Guthrie, 54, co-anchor of the popular NBC News morning show Today, has posted several video messages with her brother and sister, appealing to their mother’s captors for her return, pleading for the public’s help in solving the case, and even asserting a willingness to meet ransom demands.

In a major break in the case on Wednesday, authorities released video footage captured from the doorbell camera of Guthrie’s home near Tucson, showing an armed prowler in a ski mask and gloves trying to disable the camera. The video was taken at about the time that Guthrie is believed to have been taken from her residence by force.

Investigators were likely seeking to bring facial recognition analysis to bear on the video to produce a composite image of a suspect that they can run against a national database that includes all U.S. drivers with RealID licenses, according to a former FBI agent.

Law enforcement officials said on Thursday that a black latex glove found discarded on a roadside was recovered and is undergoing forensic examination.

The FBI on Thursday doubled the reward offered for information leading to the location of Guthrie, or the arrest and conviction of a suspect in her abduction, to $100,000.

Distraught family of Swiss bar fire victim yells ‘you killed my son’ at owners outside court

The grieving families of the victims of the Swiss bar fire that killed 41 people on New Year’s Day aired their fury at the owners of the club as they appeared at court for another day of questioning on Thursday.

As Jacques and Jessica Moretti arrived to testify in Sion, Switzerland, they were swarmed by a crowd of angry relatives who blamed them for the deaths at the Le Constellation bar in the Crans-Montana ski resort on 1 January.

Ms Moretti, 40, tried to pass through the gathering to cries of “you killed my son” and “you are monsters”. One father yelled, “My son is dead. He was burnt.”

Fourteen-year-old Tobyas, wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a photo of him and his 17-year-old brother, Trystan Pidoux, who was killed in the fire, said: “I’m here to show Jessica Moretti that she destroyed families.”

A lawyer for the couple later described the confrontations as an “attack” on the Morettis, who had apparently sought to hear from the families before heading into a lengthy hearing in Valais.

“It was an attack,” said lawyer, Nicola Meier. “There was a physical outburst; we didn’t expect the police to be absent.”

Ms Moretti broke down in tears in the courtroom on Thursday afternoon as she admitted that evacuation drills were “never conducted” and “nobody asked us to do them”.

Addressing the families of the victims, she said they had “committed ourselves to answering the families’ questions”.

“We understand your anger, your hatred. I reaffirm that we will be ready to answer every question; we will be there for you,” she said.

Mr Moretti was equally remorseful as he told the families: “We will take responsibility. We promise you, we are here for justice.”

Ms Moretti insisted that her priority on the night of the tragedy had been to raise the alarm and evacuate people from the building, which erupted into flames when sparklers ignited soundproof foaming on the ceiling, according to early investigation work.

Fabrizio Ventimiglia, an Italian lawyer representing victims’ families, said he wanted answers about not only safety protocols in the bar, but also whether alcohol had been sold to minors, and how many people were in the bar at the time.

The owners of the bar were accused by authorities in January of manslaughter by negligence, bodily harm by negligence and arson by negligence as details began to emerge.

A lawyer alleged that 24-year-old staff member Cyane Panine, who was identified carrying a champagne bottle with sparklers attached, had received no safety training and was unaware of the danger posed by the ceiling that caught alight.

The fire spread within seconds and emergency services arrived to find some of the victims collapsed next to a locked rear exit, according to police transcripts.

Others were piled together near the main exit, which became a fatal chokepoint, while others died in the basement before they could flee, according to transcripts and photographs from the case files.

Four people are under investigation: the Morettis, and a former and a current local official. The Morettis and the town’s mayor, who admitted missed inspections, have expressed regret.

The Swiss authorities also face growing scrutiny at home and abroad over their handling of the case. Some of the relatives of victims say their confidence has been shaken by the fact prosecutors did not order autopsies of all of the victims.

Christian Pidoux, who convened the grieving families on Thursday and who has since received a preliminary autopsy report, said of his son, Trystan: “You have to ask: how did he die? Is it from burns? From smoke? Did people trample him?”

Christophe de Galembert, Pidoux’s lawyer, said he had “very strong doubts about whether it will be possible to gather all the evidence now,” citing other missed opportunities to secure proof quickly, including only seizing the bar owners’ phones nine days after the fire.

Huge landslide closes part of England’s most-visited National Trail

A massive landslip has dramatically reshaped a section of the Jurassic Coast, weeks after a significant 300ft crack emerged in the cliff face.

Thousands of tonnes of rock and mud have collapsed onto Charmouth beach in Dorset, obliterating a chunk of the popular South West Coastal Path – England’s most-visited National Trail.

A 30ft wide section of the 450ft tall cliff has detached from the mainland, now resting approximately 20ft lower than its original position.

The fall has been likened to a ‘push-penny arcade game’, propelling huge mudflows down to the beach below and rendering it impassable.

The incident marks the latest in a series of substantial rockfalls along this rapidly eroding stretch of coastline.

Experts believe the dramatic movement in the 175-million-year-old cliffs is a direct consequence of weeks of relentless rainfall.

Coastguards are urging members of the public, especially fossil hunters, to keep away from the base of the cliffs as another landslip could happen at any time.

They have closed the stretch of coastal path at Stonebarrow and the beach below to prevent future tragedies.

“It’s very impressive. If you go down to the beach in Charmouth there’s now a pile of mud and trees which stretch out to sea,” fossil hunter Chris Moore said.

“I looked from the top and about 30ft of coastal path has gone, as the front of the cliff has dropped by anything between 5ft and 50ft down the cliff face.

“It is a bit like one of those arcade games, push penny things, where the top slips and it pushes every layer below which eventually ends up on the beach, replenishing it with fossils.

“The next bout of rain we get, they are going to slip further down the cliff, so people should never stand on the cliff edge and also should look out for any lines or tears in the grass which means that a section is about to go.”

Dorset Council had been monitoring the area for movement for some time after a large crevice appeared on the land at the top of the cliff several years ago.

A council spokesperson said: “There’s been a large cliff fall and mudflow at Stonebarrow, Charmouth.

“The coastal path is currently closed and we are working on a diversion.

“Rockfalls and landslips can happen at any time.

“The Jurassic Coast is a Unesco World Heritage Site recognised for its outstanding rocks, fossils, and landforms.

“It is a 95-mile long stretch of coastline within the counties of Dorset and Devon.

“It looks the way it does because of erosion from weather and the sea. Rockfalls and landslips are part of the movement which makes up the unique nature of this coastline.”

A few miles west at Lyme Regis, boulders continue to fall from the delicate cliff face and onto the beach below which has been closed off.

And coastguards are monitoring an ‘active and ongoing’ landslip taking place on the 150ft cliffs above Monmouth Beach in Lyme Regis.

A spokesperson for Lyme Regis coastguard said: “We strongly advise all members of the public to stay well clear of this area. Do not attempt to climb the slip or walk near the base of the affected cliffs.

“The cliffs along the Jurassic Coast are naturally unstable and can crumble without warning.”

In 2012 holidaymaker Charlotte Blackman, 22, was crushed to death by a rockfall as she walked under the cliffs further along the beach at Burton Bradstock.

Reform by-election candidate calls for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check

Reform UK’s candidate in an upcoming by-election has called for women and young girls to be given a “biological reality” check, as he gave his views on how Britain should tackle its impending “fertility crisis”.

Days after The Independent revealed that Matt Goodwin previously suggested people who don’t have children should be taxed extra as punishment, an unearthed clip posted to his personal YouTube channel in November 2024 has shown the former academic warning that “many women in Britain are having children much too late in life”.

In the video, Mr Goodwin – who is standing for Reform UK in the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election – argued: “We need to explain and educate to young children, the next generation, the severity of this crisis.

“We need to also explain to young girls and women the biological reality of this crisis. Many women in Britain are having children much too late in life, and they would prefer to have children much earlier on.”

In a separate clip, taken from a podcast he recorded with controversial right-wing philosopher Jordan Peterson, Mr Goodwin also appeared to agree with the host’s claim that universities have become hotbeds of “politically correct authoritarianism” because they are full of “childless women”.

Discussing the “predictors of politically correct authoritarianism”, the clip from February 2025 saw Mr Peterson say: “There were two other major predictors – three actually – the first was being female…” Interjecting, Mr Goodwin says: “I was going to say that…”

Mr Peterson then continued: “The second was having a female temperament. That was an additional predictor over and above being female. The third was having ever taken a politically correct course.”

He added: “Okay, so you pointed out that this ethos of harm avoidance, let’s say something like that, this protective ethos started to dominate, well, no one has been courageous enough, or foolhardy enough, to broach the possibility that the reason for that is that the universities became dominated by not only women – this is even worse, I might as well go in all the way – childless women.”

Mr Goodwin responded: “Yeah, actually there are a couple of papers on that Jordan, I’m sure you’ve seen, I think Cory Clark. I’ve read a couple I think showing basically the feminisation of higher education over the last 50 years.”

Professor Clark has studied how the inclusion of women in higher education has impacted academia.

Her research noted that the introduction of safe spaces and trigger warnings on university campuses, as well as growing concerns about censorship and free speech at universities, “share a common theme: they reflect the priorities of women”.

Labour’s deputy chair Lucy Powell dubbed the comments “utterly astonishing, misogynistic, and vile”.

But a Reform spokesperson said the pair “were discussing peer-reviewed academic studies showing clear psychological differences between men and women, which influence their views of cancel culture”.

Ms Powell told The Independent: “The message to women from Reform’s Matthew Goodwin appears to be ‘know your place’.

“After it was exposed that Goodwin wants to tax millions of childless women, he’s now bemoaning women’s right to education. It’s utterly astonishing, misogynistic, and vile.

“We must stop Reform’s extreme candidate getting a foothold in Manchester – the proud home of suffragettes and pioneering women – by ensuring he is rejected at the ballot box in this by-election.”

But Mr Goodwin said: “I find it both shocking and amusing that the one political party that lectures the rest of us, endlessly, about the dangers of ‘misinformation’ is deliberately trying to misinform voters about my views.

“The last person I will take criticism from is Lucy Powell who described people who want justice over the mass rape of working-class children as ‘blowing a little trumpet’.”

Last week, it emerged that Mr Goodwin previously suggested imposing a “negative child benefit tax” on “those who don’t have offspring” – a proposal that has prompted comparisons to dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, which is set in a society that forces women to bear children in an effort to tackle a fertility crisis.

While such a tax would financially impact both men and women, it would disproportionately affect women, putting pressure on them to become pregnant to protect both themselves and their partners from the levy.

In the unearthed blog post from 2023, the former university academic and honorary president of Students4Reform also suggested that the government “remove personal income tax for women who have two or more children”.

After Mr Goodwin’s comments were put to Reform UK, the party called for a “grown-up, mature debate about how we can encourage people to have more children and support British families”.

“This is an idea that was first suggested by the respected demographer Paul Morland as part of a range of measures that should be debated and discussed across developed nations if we are serious about dealing with our looming demographic crisis,” a party spokesperson said.

They later added: “Matthew never called for childless women to be taxed more. He cited demographer Paul Morland who suggested a range of policies to encourage parents to have more children in order to tackle our country’s looming demographic crisis.

“Matthew also stands by his comment that teenagers should be taught about biology and is surprised the Labour Party disagrees.”

Responding to the clip on the Jordan Peterson Podcast, a Reform spokesperson said: “As can be easily seen, they were discussing peer-reviewed academic studies showing clear psychological differences between men and women, which influence their views of cancel culture.”
