A 48-year-old man and a girl, aged 10, have died following a fire at a caravan park in Lincolnshire.

Emergency Services were called to Coastfields Holiday Park, Roman Bank, Ingoldmells at about 03:53 BST, Lincolnshire Police said.

The son of a British couple who were detained by the Taliban nine weeks ago is calling on the US to help secure their release from an Afghan prison.

Peter Reynolds, 79, and wife Barbie, 75, were arrested on 1 February while returning to their home in the central Bamiyan province.

Their son Jonathan called on the White House to intervene after Faye Hall, an American who was detained alongside them, was released last week by the Taliban, which returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021.

He told BBC News the detention of his parents - who have lived in Afghanistan for 18 years and ran education projects - had been "harrowing and exhausting" for their family.

Mr Reynolds said: "Anybody who has the ability to unlock that key and let them out, whether it be the Taliban, whether it be the British government or whether it be the American government, I would ask - do it now, please.

"And if you have the ability to put the pressure on the people who hold that key, do it now, please."

Ms Hall became the fourth US citizen to be released by the Taliban since January after talks between officials in Kabul - in what the group described as a "goodwill gesture" towards the Trump administration.

That prompted Mr Reynolds to appeal to US President Donald Trump directly to aid in Peter and Barbie's release, in a video taken outside the White House earlier this week.

Mr Reynolds, a US citizen, told BBC News that his parents had not been formally accused of any crime.

He said: "They've been in and out of court, which is infuriating for them because there's no charges and they are told every single time: yes, they are innocent, it's just a formality, we've made a mistake."

An Afghan interpreter was also arrested alongside the British couple.

Mr Reynolds said his parents had sought to work with the Taliban and had "been open" about their work in the country.

He said he believes his mother received "the only certificate for a woman to actually teach and train even men", despite women typically being banned from employment under Taliban rule.

"They deeply love the country," he added.

The couple married in Kabul in 1970 and later became Afghan citizens. They are being held separately in prison and Peter's health has deteriorated while detained, Mr Reynolds said.

He said he had been able to speak to his parents via a prison payphone and described the conversations as "excruciatingly painful".

He continued: "Just to think of your parents, elderly parents and grandparents to my kids - and they've got great-grandkids even - and wondering if we're going to see them again.

"We want to see our parents again, to hug them and hold them."

Mr Reynolds said securing his parents release was "complex" as they wish to remain in Afghanistan and continue their education work.

He said: "They want to be released from prison because they've done nothing wrong, but they want to be released so they can carry on doing the work they're doing - which just speaks to the character and the stamina and the vision and conviction that they have."

He said the UK government had been "very supportive" and discussions with he US State Department had been "encouraging".

A Taliban official told the BBC in February that the group planned to release the couple "as soon as possible".

The UK shut its embassy in Kabul after the Taliban returned to power. The Foreign Office said this means its ability to help UK nationals in Afghanistan is "extremely limited".

India is a cricket-crazy nation, and it seems the AI chatbot ChatGPT hasn't missed that fact.

So, when its founder Sam Altman fed it the prompt: "Sam Altman as a cricket player in anime style", the bot seems to have immediately generated an image of Altman wielding a bat in a bright blue India jersey.

Altman shared his anime cricketer avatar on X on Thursday, sending Indian social media users into a tizzy.

Though the tech billionaire had shared AI-generated images before - joining last week's viral Studio Ghibli trend - it was the India jersey that got people talking.

While some Indian users said they were delighted to see Altman sporting their team's colours, many were quick to speculate about his motives behind sharing the image.

"Sam trying hard to attract Indian customers," one user said.

"Now awaiting your India announcement. How much are you allocating out of that $40bn to India," another user asked, alluding to the record funding recently secured by Altman for his firm, OpenAI, which owns ChatGPT.

Yet another user put into words a pattern he seemed to have spotted in Altman's recent social media posts - and a question that seems to be on many Indian users' minds.

"Over the past few days, you've been praising India and Indian customers a lot. How did this sudden love for India come about? It feels like there's some deep strategy going on behind the scenes," he wrote on X.

While the comment may sound a bit conspiratorial, there's some truth to at least part of it.

Just hours before Altman shared his image in the cricket jersey, he'd shared a post on X praising India's adoption of AI technology. He said it was "amazing to watch" and that it was "outpacing the world".

This post too went viral in India, while the media wrote numerous stories documenting users' reactions to it.

Someone even started a Reddit thread which quite comically aired the Redditor's curiosity, and perhaps, confusion.

"Can someone tell me what Sam Altman is talking about here in his tweet?" the person posted on Reddit sharing Altman's post.

A few days earlier, Altman had retweeted Studio Ghibli-style images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi which were shared by the federal government's citizen engagement platform.

All these posts of Altman have generated a fair amount of comments questioning his motives.

The scepticism around Altman's perceived courting of India could be because of his past views on the country's AI capabilities.

During a visit in 2023, he had sounded almost dismissive of small Indian start-ups making AI tools that could compete with OpenAI's creations.

Asked at a event how a small, smart team with a low budget of about $10m could build substantial AI foundational models, he answered that it would be "totally hopeless" to attempt this but that entrepreneurs should try anyway.

But when Altman visited India again this year, he had changed his tune.

In a meeting with federal minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in February, Altman expressed an eagerness to collaborate with India on making low-cost AI models.

He also praised India for its swift pace of adopting AI technologies and revealed that the country was OpenAI's second-largest market, with users tripling over the past year.

The praise comes even as his company is locked in a legal battle with some of India's biggest news media companies over the alleged unauthorised use of their content.

Experts say that Altman's seemingly newfound affinity for India might have to do with the country's profitability as a market.

According to the International Trade Administration, the AI market in India is projected to reach $8bn by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 40% from 2020 to 2025.

Nikhil Pahwa, founder-editor of MediaNama.com, a technology policy website, says that when it comes to founders of AI companies making "grand statements" about India, it has much to do with the country's massive user base. He adds that Altman isn't the only CEO wooing India.

In January, Aravind Srinivas, founder of Perplexity, an AI search engine, also expressed an eagerness to work with Indian AI start-ups.

Mr Srinivas said in a post on X that he was ready to invest $1m and five hours of his time per week to "make India great again in the context of AI".

Technology writer Prasanto K Roy believes that the Ghibli-trend revealed India's massive userbase for ChatGPT and, potentially, other AI platforms as well. And with competitor AI models like Gemini and Grok quickly gaining Indian users, Altman may be keen to retain existing users of his firm's services and also acquire new ones, he says.

"India is a very large client base for all global AI foundational models and with ChatGPT being challenged by the much cheaper DeepSeek AI, Altman is likely eager to acquire more Indian customers and keep Indian developers positively aligned towards building on top of OpenAI's services," Mr Pahwa says.

"So when it comes to these grand overtures towards India, there's no real love; it's just business," he adds.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer watched in his flat. Chancellor Rachel Reeves saw it in her study. The Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds, accompanied by staff and pizza, took in President Donald Trump's big tariffs reveal on Wednesday from his office in Old Admiralty Arch, from where the British Navy was directed to protect and control trade on the high seas in days gone by.

Ministers can only dream of having that kind of power now, as the UK watches on in growing horror at the bust-up between the US and China.

"Sometimes people don't realise they are living through a moment of history," a cabinet minister notes, as Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping square up to each other, and stock markets plunge. Trump has slapped a 10% tariff on all nations – including the UK – for imports into the US, and much higher rates on some countries, including China, which has responded with fresh tariffs of its own.

So what's happening in Whitehall right now to try to limit the harm to the UK, perhaps by making a deal with the US, and make the most of any opportunities?

The PM is spending another dramatic weekend working the phones from the peace of his country pad, Chequers. So far, the other calls that could really matter, from US negotiators, have not yet resumed.

Trump dangled a possible trade deal that might exempt the UK from some of the costs from tariffs during the pair's chummy White House press conference in February. There have been significant negotiations since then by a team of around 20, led out of No 10 by Michael Ellam, the Treasury and banking veteran, and the PM's business adviser Varun Chandra alongside the business secretary.

Those talks included ideas about the UK watering down rules on electric vehicles, possible changes to a tax on tech companies ("space to talk about it", one minister says) and changes to online safety rules ("not happening", says a government source).

But as the US government prepared for its announcements on Wednesday, talks about a deal ground to a halt. Now, after the announcement, the "ball is in their court", said one government source involved, waiting to hear if, in the chaos of Trump's new tariff world, the White House can find time and energy to push a deal with the UK.

"We're expecting to hear from them any moment," one of those involved hopes. The risk, in the visible turmoil, is that any economic agreement could become a case of: don't call us, we'll call you. We'll be asking Darren Jones, the Treasury Minister, about it when he join us in the studio tomorrow.

If a deal is done, however, do not expect an all-singing all-dancing arrangement. Instead, "it would be a basic agreement on principles – rather than a super detailed trade agreement", says a government source, contrasting these "quick and dirty" moves to long-running negotiations with India ("we're on our 15th chapter with them!").

Uncertainty around the talks, and the limited nature of what a deal could achieve in any case, means No 10 is "not sitting here waiting for it – it's not the basket where all our eggs are".

For weeks the government told us they were preparing for all kinds of scenarios. A secret cabinet committee was considering how the UK might react if Trump's tariffs materialised.

But now they are here, the actual response is… not to respond, and to spend four weeks asking businesses if they would like the government to respond later on. That is not just Whitehall dither: at this stage, there seems to be almost zero appetite among ministers to join in with the rounds of tariffs between the US, China, and perhaps the EU in coming days.

One Whitehall figure working with business says "there has not been a single voice in business, big or small, saying this is the wrong strategy".

Ministers' approach to get businesses on board, like when Sir Keir invited dozens of big wigs to No 10 the morning after Trump's tariff announcement, is in part because of the anger when the government increased National Insurance contributions. "The really calm reaction," one source says, "is because we got people into the headspace where tariffs were going to happen – one of the businesses said they were being borderline stalked, we've been trying to persuade business to trust the process."

The government is in no rush, and has no enthusiasm to introduce its own new tariffs, and for now at least, demands on them to do so are muted. According to a minister: "Most people have considerable numbers of jobs in their constituencies on the line – even in cabinet there might have been some question marks but there weren't this week."

And they joke that the Lib Dems, who are calling for tariffs in retaliation, "keep demanding a trade war but I don't think they'll lead the nation". Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who also does not want extra tariffs, will be on tomorrow's show too.

But just as the government is going slow on hitting back, they are cracking heads to crack on with their existing plans faster.

This isn't all about Trump. I understand the chancellor is looking at whether any of the money announced in the government's vital Spending Review can be brought forward from June. If government departments are able to finalise their deals, can that be sorted and made public as soon as possible?

There are discussions too about whether it's possible to speed up the long waited-for Industrial Strategy – a plan to get investment into the UK pencilled in for June, but could it be brought forward? A decision hasn't been made but the prime minister is again, his team indicate, trying to use the jeopardy around the world as an impetus to push the government machine harder. "We have to run quickly towards this," a government source says – and the chancellor is looking at it this weekend.

You might feel, haven't I heard this before? You'd be right. Since the start of the year, the prime minister and the chancellor have both repeatedly said the government has to go faster, work harder. So why after years in opposition weren't Starmer's team ready to go with all of these changes when they got into office? For a government that promised to be radical, its plans have not always been forthcoming.

You may not fancy the kind of radicalism we're seeing out of the White House, but radical it certainly is. To compete, the UK may need to be that too.

It is ludicrous to imagine the PM is "very happy" that the UK has been hit with tariffs as Trump suggested – "artistic licence", a government source remarked. No British action can completely insulate our economy from disruption abroad. But the government's own actions do matter, and this could be a defining moment.

While there's been no lack of trying to soften the blows for the UK, the government's hopes have been dashed already. First, ministers believed the UK could escape tariffs, then they said they were prepared in case, then disappointed when they arrived. As Sir Keir spends another weekend on the phone, and officials hope the phone rings, the government doesn't know what they will be able to say next.

Mobile phone footage has emerged that appears to contradict Israel's account of why soldiers opened fire on a convoy of ambulances and a fire truck, killing 15 rescue workers.

The video published by the New York Times, and said to have been filmed by a Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) paramedic who was killed, shows the vehicles moving in darkness with headlights and emergency flashing lights switched on early on the morning of 23 March - before coming under fire.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) initial statement said "several uncoordinated vehicles were identified advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights or emergency signals. IDF troops then opened fire at the suspected vehicles."

A surviving paramedic previously told the BBC that the ambulances were clearly marked and had their internal and external lights on.

The IDF has been approached for comment about the video, which the PRCS said had been shown to the UN Security Council.

The video shows the marked vehicles drawing to a halt on the edge of the road, lights still flashing, and at least two emergency workers stepping out wearing reflective clothing.

The windscreen of the vehicle being filmed from is cracked and shooting can then be heard lasting for several minutes as the person filming says prayers. He is understood to be one of the dead paramedics.

The footage was found on his phone after his body was recovered from a shallow grave one week after the incident. The bodies of the eight paramedics, six Gaza Civil Defence workers and one UN employee were found buried in sand, along with their wrecked vehicles. It took international organisations days to negotiate safe access to the site.

Israel claimed a number of Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants had been killed in the incident, but it has not provided any evidence or further explained the threat to its troops.

Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar earlier this week echoed the army account, saying "the IDF did not randomly attack an ambulance".

The IDF promised to investigate the circumstances after a surviving paramedic questioned its account.

In an interview with the BBC, paramedic Munther Abed said: "During day and at night, it's the same thing. External and internal lights are on. Everything tells you it's an ambulance vehicle that belongs to the Palestinian Red Crescent. All lights were on until the vehicle came under direct fire."

He also denied he or his team had any militant connections.

"All crews are civilian. We don't belong to any militant group. Our main duty is to offer ambulance services and save people's lives. No more, no less," he said.

Speaking at the United Nations yesterday the President of the PRCS, Dr Younis Al-Khatib, referred to the video recording, saying: "I heard the voice of one of those team members who was killed. His last words before being shot…'forgive me mum, I just wanted to help people. I wanted to save lives'. It's heartbreaking".

He called for "accountability" and "an "independent and thorough investigation" of what he called an "atrocious crime".

One paramedic is still unaccounted for following the 23 March incident.

A 48-year-old man and a girl, aged 10, have died following a fire at a caravan park in Lincolnshire.

Emergency Services were called to Coastfields Holiday Park, Roman Bank, Ingoldmells at about 03:53 BST, Lincolnshire Police said.

Blanca Castro puts on a builder's helmet before opening the door to her kitchen. Inside it, the ceiling has a large hole that is dripping water and it looks as if it could collapse at any moment.

Because the kitchen is unusable, Blanca has to wash her dishes in the bathtub, and she has improvised a cooking area with a gas camping stove in a corner of her living room.

Many of her fellow tenants in this apartment block near Madrid's Atocha railway station have similar problems. They say the company that owns the building has stopped responding to requests for basic maintenance in recent months, since informing them that it will not renew their rental contracts.

"The current rental bubble is encouraging a lot of big owners to do what they are doing here," says Blanca. "Which is to get rid of the current tenants who have been here a long time, in order to have short-term tourist flats, or simply to hike up the rent."

Blanca and her fellow tenants have vowed to stay in the building despite what they see as efforts to push them out by the owners, who were not available for comment for this article.

The tenancy contracts last five years, during which time rent is fixed, but this area of central Madrid has seen housing costs soar in recent years.

"For another home like this [in this area], I'd have to pay double or more what I'm paying now," says Blanca. "It's not viable."

She and her neighbours are among millions of Spaniards who are suffering the consequences of a housing crisis caused by spiralling rental costs.

While salaries have increased by around 20% over the past decade, the average rental in Spain has doubled during the same period. There has been an 11% increase over the last year alone, according to figures provided by property portal Idealista, and housing has become Spaniards' biggest worry.

It's also generating anger, with Spaniards taking to the streets to demand action from the authorities to make housing more affordable. On Saturday, 5 April thousands of people are expected to protest in Madrid and dozens of other cities.

A report by Spain's central bank found that nearly 40% of families who rent now spend more than 40% of their income on their accommodation.

"The current problem is a huge imbalance between supply and demand," says Juan Villén, of Idealista. "Demand is very good, the economy is growing a lot, but supply is dwindling very fast."

Mr Villén offers the example of Barcelona, where rental increases have become notorious. Whereas nine families were competing to rent each property in the city five years ago, that number has risen to 54. Rental costs during that time have increased by 60%, he adds.

"We need to build more properties," says Mr Villén. "And on the rental side we need more people willing to rent their properties, or willing to buy properties, refurbish them and put them on the rental market."

The central government has described the situation as "a social emergency" and agrees that a lack of supply is driving the crisis. Last year, the Housing Ministry estimated that the country needs between 600,000 and one million new homes over the next four years in order to meet demand.

This need for more housing has been pushed up in part by the arrival of immigrants who have joined the workforce and are helping drive Spain's economic growth. The ministry also pointed to a lack of social housing, which at 3.4% of total supply, is among the lowest in Europe.

In 2007, at the height of a property-ownership bubble, more than 600,000 homes were built in Spain. But high building costs, lack of available land and a shortage of manpower have all been factors in restricting construction in recent years, with just under 100,000 homes completed in 2024.

The government has taken measures to incentivise construction, apportioning land for the building of affordable homes, while trying to ensure that public housing does not end up in the private market, which has been a problem in the past.

But the Socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has also expressed a willingness to intervene in the market in order to bring rental prices under control.

At a recent event to mark the opening of 218 low-rent flats in the southern city of Seville, he declared that Spaniards "want us to act, they want the housing market to operate according to the law of reason, of social justice, not the law of the jungle; they want to ensure that vulture funds and speculators are not doing whatever they like".

The central government and a number of local administrations have identified short-term tourist accommodation as part of the problem. Last year, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and several cities on the mainland saw protests by locals against surging tourist numbers, with their impact on rental costs the main complaint.

Several city halls have responded by announcing plans to restrict the granting of tourist-flat permits, while Barcelona is going further, revoking the licences of all of the city's 10,000 or so registered short-term apartments by 2028.

The Sánchez government has also pushed through parliament a housing law, which includes a cap on rentals in so-called "high-tension" areas where prices are climbing out of control. Political resistance has meant that the legislation is so far only being implemented in the northern regions of the Basque Country, Navarre and Catalonia, and its success is open to debate.

The Socialist-led regional and central governments have pointed to a 3.7% drop in rental costs in "high-tension" areas of Catalonia since the cap's introduction there a year ago, with Barcelona seeing a decrease of 6.4%.

However, critics warn that the rental cap has spooked owners and caused thousands of properties to be withdrawn from the market.

"On the supply side, the problem is that all measures taken by the local or national governments are going against landlords," says Mr Villén. "Even people that were doing build-to-rent new properties have been selling their properties because they don't want to get into the rental market."

Another initiative proposed by the central government which has stirred up debate is a tax of up to 100% on properties bought by non-residents from outside the EU, on the grounds that such homes are often barely inhabited. This is a measure that, if rolled out, would heavily affect British buyers.

The conservative opposition has accused the government of being too heavy-handed with its approach. However, as public anger builds over this issue, there are many others who would like the country's leaders to act much more stridently.

Gonzalo Álvarez, of the Sindicato de Inquilinas e Inquilinos, an organisation that campaigns for tenants' rights, agrees that a shortage of available homes is a problem, but insists that building more is not the answer.

"There is a lack of housing because homes are being hijacked - on the one hand tourist flats, and on the other hand all the empty flats belonging to vulture funds and the banks," he says. "So there's no need to build more, it's not necessary. But the housing we have has been hijacked."

His organisation wants the government to impose drastic mandatory reductions in rent on owners and is threatening to orchestrate a nationwide strike by tenants that would see participants refuse to pay their rent.

"The [central and local] governments are not setting any limits," says Mr Álvarez. "So who is going to? We will have to do it."

Rural North Yorkshire is having its Hollywood moment.

The latest production to be filmed in the region is a new adaptation of the classic novel Wuthering Heights, which has just finished shooting in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

It stars Australian actress Margot Robbie, who recently took the lead role in Barbie, and will play Cathy alongside Jacob Elordi's Heathcliff.

Emily Bronte's novel was written in 1847 and set in the rugged Yorkshire moors.

The locations chosen for the new film included Arkengarthdale, Swaledale and the village of Low Row. Robbie, 35, stayed at the hotel Simonstone Hall, near Hawes, with other cast members.

She was also photographed in a white wedding gown surrounded by film crew for a scene believed to be her marriage to Heathcliff's rival, Edgar Linton.

Fashion bible Vogue has criticised her dress as being historically inaccurate, as the style was only popularised by Queen Victoria 40 years after the story is set.

The hotel is a "historic country lodge" where presenter Jeremy Clarkson famously got into a fight with a Top Gear producer in 2015.

A staff member said Robbie was "very lovely" and even enjoyed a Sunday roast and afternoon tea there with her husband and new baby.

The employee told the BBC: "It was a very positive stay for over a week and they enjoying the restaurant and and eating in the bar with her co-stars and production crew too.

"The weekend was great fun, where she met lots of other guests and visitors and she introduced her baby to the resident pigs and peacocks here."

The film crew's base camp was near Holiday Home Yorkshire in Reeth, whose owner said it was "very exciting" seeing the trailers in the tiny village.

One local holiday let owner said he saw Robbie driving a tractor with her co-star - although the agricultural vehicles were not invented until the late 19th Century.

He said: "There were four tractors, old-fashioned open-to-the-elements style and they were being escorted by two Range Rovers."

Another Dales resident said he had seen filming at Surrender Bridge, which is close to an old lead smelting mill. The landmark also featured in the opening scene of the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small in the 1980s and is on the Coast to Coast path route.

Crew members also stayed at the Charles Bathurst Inn, in Arkengarthdale, and were described as "very friendly".

The film, directed by Emerald Fennell, is due for release in February 2026.

There are hopes that it will lead to an upsurge in interest in the Bronte sisters and their work.

The director of the Bronte Parsonage Museum, a literary museum located at the former Bronte family home in Haworth, West Yorkshire, said: "Every screen or theatre adaptation brings something fresh for contemporary audiences to think about.

"It is a testimony of Emily's legacy that her writing continues to inspire creatives today and we look forward to seeing what Emerald Fennell's adaptation adds to the mix."

Haworth Parsonage is where Emily Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights and lived with her sisters Charlotte and Anne, and it was gifted to the Bronte Society in 1928.

It has the largest collection of Brontë items in the world.

Director Rebecca Yorke added: "We're also delighted that some filming has taken place at nearby locations and hope that this will attract new visitors to the area and to the Brontë Parsonage Museum."

There have been at least 10 film and television adaptations of Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte's only novel.

One of the most well-known was the 1939 version starring Merle Oberon as Cathy and Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Other high-profile actors who have played Heathcliff over the years include Ralph Fiennes, Tom Hardy and Richard Burton.

Meanwhile, North Yorkshire was also the filming location for a Christmas film starring Rebel Wilson and Kiefer Sutherland.

Tinsel Town will be released in December 2025 and was shot in Knaresborough.

Wilson, 45, said at the time she "loved" the area and had been practising her Yorkshire accent.

In 2021, Tom Cruise surprised locals of Pickering when he touched down in a helicopter to shoot scenes for Mission: Impossible at a heritage railway.

The owner of a local B&B said in a Facebook post they had been walking the dog when they "bumped into" the Hollywood megastar.

When Megan Ross was 14 years old, she opened some letters her dad had sent her from prison.

In them, Davie Clark explained why he had been absent throughout Megan's childhood.

He said he was addicted to drugs and did not want her to be around his lifestyle.

"I think that's probably the first time I understood why he wasn't in my life," she said.

"Because for a lot of years I did think: 'Did he not want me? Did he not love me?'

"But then reading the letters, it made me realise that wasn't the case at all."

Megan is now 26. Like her dad, she has spent years addicted to drugs - but they are both now in recovery.

Davie is at the beginning of the process, after relapsing into drug use last year. He wants to get sober and repair his relationship with his daughter.

Megan says, for her own recovery, she cannot be around her dad at the moment.

"That hurts, because he's my dad and I want to be there for him," Megan said.

"I can love him from a distance right now, and when he does go back into recovery then we can take the steps to be father and daughter again.

"Now that I'm sober, I want my dad back."

Addiction runs in Megan's family.

When she was five, her gran took her to live in Stranraer in south-west Scotland, about two hours' drive from her home in Glasgow.

She hoped bringing Megan up in a quieter area would keep her safe - but instead, her drug use would spiral out of control in the coastal town.

Megan started taking prescription pain relief medication at the age of 15 after being injured in a car accident.

She started swapping her medication for street valium. That term covers a number of different counterfeit versions of anti-anxiety medications, which make users feel spaced out and relaxed.

Megan began taking more and more, combining the pills with other drugs, such as cocaine.

She was soon involved in a party scene and her life became more and more chaotic.

Street valium was cheap and widely available. Megan could get 100 tablets for £25.

"I was probably taking about 50 valium a day," she told BBC Scotland's Disclosure programme.

"It was causing me to lie to my family. It was causing me to fight with the police, doing things that I just wouldn't do if I was sober.

"It was actually turning me into a horrible, horrible person."

Megan said pictures taken at the time showed how chaotic her life was.

"You can see it in my face, in my eyes. There's nobody there. I'm just lifeless inside."

Megan has now reached a point in her life where she is ready to stop using drugs and has been in recovery for seven months.

Her life is totally different.

She is at college, working towards qualifications she did not get when she was in high school. She is interested in science and hopes to become a lab technician.

Megan said moving from Stranraer to Glasgow had been fundamental in getting her life back on track.

She says there are more support services on hand to help her get off drugs.

Megan has been working with a service called Tomorrow's Women Glasgow.

It helps women who have complex needs with issues such as addiction, mental health and housing.

Megan has a support worker who has been there for her as she tries to rebuild her life.

"I feel like the luckiest person on earth, and I say that to everybody, because not everybody's as lucky as me," she said.

"Not everybody can get out, and I got out because of people I've got round me."

Megan says she cannot be around her dad at this stage in their recoveries, but hopes he will become part of her life again.

Davie is a cocaine and heroin user who spoke about his addiction as part of the BBC Disclosure documentary One More Fix.

He is among the 180 people who have used the UK's first drug consumption room, which opened in Glasgow in January. After a referral from the staff there, he has moved out of a hostel and into supported accommodation.

Now aged 47, he has been addicted to drugs for more than 20 years.

He first tried heroin inside HMP Barlinnie.

"I felt on top of the world if I'm being honest, because I had never had that feeling of anything doing that to me," Davie said.

"And from that day, at 21 years old, I couldn't wait to get out of prison to try it again, to get that buzz."

As a result of his on/off drug use, he has not been involved in Megan's life.

He has spent time living on the streets of Glasgow and begging for money.

Davie has also had periods in recovery when he has been doing well, taking part in stage productions and playing for Scotland in the Homeless World Cup.

But he relapsed last year, and in the last few months has been taking greater quantities of drugs than he had for years.

Now he is back in the early stages of recovery.

"I know where I can be, I know where I can get to... but time is running out," Davie said.

"My goals are to have a good relationship with my daughter, get to see my grandkids, and spend time as a normal human being and as a father."

'It's not my dad's fault at all'

Megan has been in and out of contact with her dad throughout her life.

When she told him she was using street valium, Davie blamed himself.

"I can see a lot of me in her, because of her age and, because that's the way I used to be," he said.

"I blame myself, because I wasn't there to guide her and tell her to stay away from this and stay away from that."

But Megan says she doesn't blame her dad for her drug use, or for being absent during much of her life.

"I ended up on drugs because the men I chose, the friends I chose, the lifestyle I chose. I don't for one minute think it's my dad's fault at all," she said.

Megan says her dad had been "lost" and stuck in a lifestyle which meant he did not want her around.

"As an adult now my heart just breaks for him, because I've been there."

A man has been charged with murder after a 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Huddersfield.

Police were called to Ramsden Street in the town centre on Thursday and the boy was taken to hospital where he later died from a single stab wound to his neck.

Alfie Franco, 20 from Kirkburton, in West Yorkshire, is due to appear at Leeds Magistrates' Court later charged with murder and possessing a knife in a public place.

A man and a woman who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender have been released on police bail, West Yorkshire Police said.

The force said the incident was "not gang related" and has warned the public to be wary of false information.

"We are aware of misinformation circulating on social media, specifically X, regarding the circumstances of the incident and the ethnicities of those involved," a spokesperson said.

"We are limited in what we can say legally, but what we can advise is the incident is not gang-related or linked to any wider dispute between groups."

On Friday a crime scene remained in place around New Street and Ramsden Street as officers investigated.

The scene stretched from the borough's town hall up to the road's junction with New Street.

Rural North Yorkshire is having its Hollywood moment.

The latest production to be filmed in the region is a new adaptation of the classic novel Wuthering Heights, which has just finished shooting in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

It stars Australian actress Margot Robbie, who recently took the lead role in Barbie, and will play Cathy alongside Jacob Elordi's Heathcliff.

Emily Bronte's novel was written in 1847 and set in the rugged Yorkshire moors.

The locations chosen for the new film included Arkengarthdale, Swaledale and the village of Low Row. Robbie, 35, stayed at the hotel Simonstone Hall, near Hawes, with other cast members.

She was also photographed in a white wedding gown surrounded by film crew for a scene believed to be her marriage to Heathcliff's rival, Edgar Linton.

Fashion bible Vogue has criticised her dress as being historically inaccurate, as the style was only popularised by Queen Victoria 40 years after the story is set.

The hotel is a "historic country lodge" where presenter Jeremy Clarkson famously got into a fight with a Top Gear producer in 2015.

A staff member said Robbie was "very lovely" and even enjoyed a Sunday roast and afternoon tea there with her husband and new baby.

The employee told the BBC: "It was a very positive stay for over a week and they enjoying the restaurant and and eating in the bar with her co-stars and production crew too.

"The weekend was great fun, where she met lots of other guests and visitors and she introduced her baby to the resident pigs and peacocks here."

The film crew's base camp was near Holiday Home Yorkshire in Reeth, whose owner said it was "very exciting" seeing the trailers in the tiny village.

One local holiday let owner said he saw Robbie driving a tractor with her co-star - although the agricultural vehicles were not invented until the late 19th Century.

He said: "There were four tractors, old-fashioned open-to-the-elements style and they were being escorted by two Range Rovers."

Another Dales resident said he had seen filming at Surrender Bridge, which is close to an old lead smelting mill. The landmark also featured in the opening scene of the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small in the 1980s and is on the Coast to Coast path route.

Crew members also stayed at the Charles Bathurst Inn, in Arkengarthdale, and were described as "very friendly".

The film, directed by Emerald Fennell, is due for release in February 2026.

There are hopes that it will lead to an upsurge in interest in the Bronte sisters and their work.

The director of the Bronte Parsonage Museum, a literary museum located at the former Bronte family home in Haworth, West Yorkshire, said: "Every screen or theatre adaptation brings something fresh for contemporary audiences to think about.

"It is a testimony of Emily's legacy that her writing continues to inspire creatives today and we look forward to seeing what Emerald Fennell's adaptation adds to the mix."

Haworth Parsonage is where Emily Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights and lived with her sisters Charlotte and Anne, and it was gifted to the Bronte Society in 1928.

It has the largest collection of Brontë items in the world.

Director Rebecca Yorke added: "We're also delighted that some filming has taken place at nearby locations and hope that this will attract new visitors to the area and to the Brontë Parsonage Museum."

There have been at least 10 film and television adaptations of Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte's only novel.

One of the most well-known was the 1939 version starring Merle Oberon as Cathy and Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Other high-profile actors who have played Heathcliff over the years include Ralph Fiennes, Tom Hardy and Richard Burton.

Meanwhile, North Yorkshire was also the filming location for a Christmas film starring Rebel Wilson and Kiefer Sutherland.

Tinsel Town will be released in December 2025 and was shot in Knaresborough.

Wilson, 45, said at the time she "loved" the area and had been practising her Yorkshire accent.

In 2021, Tom Cruise surprised locals of Pickering when he touched down in a helicopter to shoot scenes for Mission: Impossible at a heritage railway.

The owner of a local B&B said in a Facebook post they had been walking the dog when they "bumped into" the Hollywood megastar.

Listen to highlights from North Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.

Val Kilmer is joking around in his trailer on the set of Top Gun, pretending to bark demands into a packet of More cigarettes as if it's a phone and he's talking to the studio boss.

"He wants more! More sex! More drugs! More wine! More tobacco! More headaches! More ulcers! More herpes! More women! And less of Tom Cruise!"

Co-stars Rick Rossovich and Barry Tubb, also on a break from playing the film's elite fighter pilots, are in the trailer too, cracking up with laughter.

Rossovich, aka Cruise's on-screen partner Slider, is apparently the person who wants "more". Wearing shades but no shirt, he proceeds to pretend to throw a chair at Kilmer's head, before jumping out of the trailer into the sunshine and dancing off.

Kilmer took his video camera everywhere to film behind the scenes, and picked these snapshots of the carefree tomfoolery on the Top Gun set in 1985 as the opening shots for a 2021 documentary about his life.

"He had the first video camera I'd ever seen," recalls Tubb, who played Wolfman. "They got so tired of telling him to turn it off on the set of Top Gun that they finally just let it go.

"We had a fun time with it because we tried to catch everyone on the toilet with the video camera. That was our goofing around. So there's video somewhere of everyone with the door open on the toilet. We were goofballs."

He adds: "Cruise never hung out with us. It was all of us, except for Cruise. He was method acting as the loner, and we were all at this beach hotel, riding motorcycles down hallways and things."

And Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson, "unlike some producers, threw parties every other night", he says. "And so it was definitely in the air."

'Young and bulletproof'

Tubb is one of many former co-stars who have been fondly remembering Kilmer's acting and his antics, following his death at the age of 65.

"He was the coolest cat I've ever met," Tubb tells BBC News. "Not only did he have great acting chops, but he was funny as hell."

Top Gun was a breakthrough for Kilmer, who played Iceman, the rival to Cruise's hotshot Maverick at the US Navy's academy for elite fighter pilots.

On screen, saving the USA from Soviet MiG jets was serious business. Off screen, filming in California and Nevada, things were less serious.

"As Sean Penn once said, working in Hollywood is like being in high school with money," Tubb says.

"I was 22 years old, and I was the younger of the bunch.

"We had a deal that if one of us wanted to go to Mexico, all of us had to go. And Val had his van from high school, so we would all pile into Val's van and go over to Mexico for dinner.

"We were young and bulletproof."

Tubb whispered one of the film's famous lines when the class watched a video of aerial dogfights: "This gives me a hard-on."

That came about after he played a practical joke by switching the real tape in the academy's VHS player for a pornographic video.

"[Director] Tony Scott heard me say that and he said, 'Keep that in'. We were doing things like that. We were cutting up and having fun the whole time."

'Play up the rivalry with Tom'

Kilmer originally didn't want to appear in the film, saying he throught the script was silly and he disliked its warmongering.

To the audition, he "wore oversize gonky Australian shorts in nausea green" in an attempt to put the producers off, he wrote in his autobiography.

"I read the lines indifferently. And yet, amazingly, I was told I had the part."

The script contained "very little" substance to Iceman's character, he said in his documentary.

"So I attempted to make him real. I manifested a backstory for him, where he had a father who ignored him, and as a result, was driven by the need to be perfect in every way. This obsession with perfection is what made him so arrogant."

He added that he would "purposely play up the rivalry between Tom's character and mine off screen" as well as on.

"What ended up happening is the actors, in true method fashion, split into two distinct camps.

"You had Maverick and Goose on one side, and Slider, Hollywood, Wolfman and me, Iceman, on the other.

"It was fun to play up the conflict between our characters, but in reality I've always thought of Tom as a friend, and we've always supported each other."

By the time a sequel was finally shot in 2018 and 2019, Kilmer had suffered from throat cancer. He had a tracheotomy operation, affecting his voice and making it difficult to speak.

But Cruise was the one who insisted Iceman should return. The pair shared a highly emotional scene as Kilmer's character, now an admiral, typed out part of his side of the conversation on a screen, before sharing a hug.

"Cruise couldn't have been cooler," Kilmer said. "Tom and I took up where we left off. The reunion felt great."

Many of the cast had remained friends after the original film, Tubb says, and Rossovich's home in the Hollywood Hills became the "Top Gun club house".

"I remember going to Rick's house and they were painting Rick's kitchen, and Val got up on top of the refrigerator and did 20 minutes of Hamlet. Never missed a word."

Kilmer was "an actors' actor", who raised the bar for the rest of the cast, Tubb says.

"He had a level of artistry that transcended the Hollywood norm.

"Val was a cool cat. Also, he could back it up. I remember seeing The Doors movie and I just saw Jim Morrison.

"His ability to disappear into characters was incredible. Same with Iceman."

He adds: "Val, among his peers, was well loved. He came fully loaded."

The love for Kilmer has shone through in the tributes from his fellow actors.

Kelly McGillis, who played Cruise's love interest Charlie and starred with Kilmer in 1999's At First Sight, told the BBC in a statement: "I need some time to process what Val has meant in my walk here on Earth.

"He was an enigmatic presence sprinkled here & there throughout my journey. A force with depth & weight which will take some time to sort out.

"There are just so many feelings at the moment.

"Gratitude being the first."

Cheeseburgers on set

English actor and dancer Will Kemp, who appeared alongside Kilmer in the 2004 slasher film Mindhunters, said the news of his death came as a "real shock".

He recalls how the star had set him at ease and made him laugh with his "wicked sense of humour" when he was a nervous young actor on his first production.

"I entered into it with sort of trepidation really because I had heard all sorts of rumours about possible bad behaviour on set, and also he's this acting legend that I'd grown up with.

"But Val was really sweet, fun, generous, but really, really unpredictable!"

His memories of his first ever big scene will forever be tied up with Kilmer.

"I have a very clear memory of the first scene that I shot that was in a helicopter, and we're flying around with [director] Renny Harlin shouting, 'why are we not shooting?'

"We're halfway through take one, and Val - totally unscripted - somehow pulls out a cheeseburger and was just casually munching on it.

"He turns over to me and goes, 'hey, is everybody having fun?'

"It just blew my mind."

Kemp, also known for his portrayal of the Swan in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, admitted Kilmer's acting methods on set sometimes appeared to be "crazy" while at other times there were "moments of absolute genius".

He added: "He created so many iconic characters and was a real enigmatic movie star."

A family affair

'Amazing' to reach landmark

Jockey Championship the next target

'A very low day'

As stock markets continue to tumble after the US imposition of sweeping and swingeing tariffs, many are asking does this qualify as a stock market "crash" and what that could mean for them.

The word crash has been used sparingly over the decades and is usually reserved for a fall of over 20% from a recent peak in a day, or over the course of a couple of days.

On 19 October, 1987 - also known as Black Monday - the US stock market lost 23% of its value in a single day, and other stock markets had similar falls. The UK FTSE index fell 23% over two days – partly because it closes earlier than New York, and so it often plays catch up with whatever happens in the US the next morning.

That was most definitely a crash.

In 1929, the US stock market lost over 20% of its value in two days - and 50% within three weeks. That was the famous Wall Street Crash that ushered in the great depression of the 1930s.

By comparison, the US stock market has lost around 17% of its value from its peak in February and is now down 2% from where it was this time last year.

Nevertheless, these are the biggest and quickest declines we have seen in world markets since they were gripped by the panic of Covid-19 in early 2020.

A decline of 20% from a peak is considered a "bear market" - a description of a market that appears to be more likely to go down than go up. We are very close to that description right now.

How does it affect you?

While many people own stocks and shares directly, most people's exposure to stock markets come through their pension plans. There are two types – defined benefit schemes which guarantee a fixed pension income, and defined contribution where your pension pot rises and falls with financial markets.

That may sound like defined contribution plans are very vulnerable to this sell off – but not all of your contributions go into shares. Much of the money goes into safer investments such as government bonds. These tend to increase in value when stock markets fall as they are seen as a "safe haven" along with other assets such as gold.

That is exactly what has happened here.

Government bonds have risen in value and that can offset some or all of the fall in shares depending on how your pension savings are allocated.

The closer to retirement you are, the higher percentage of your pension pot is likely to be invested in bonds - so the less affected you will be.

There have been many falls like this in the decades since the Wall Street Crash but in the long term, shares have turned out to be a good investment – and pension savings is a long term game.

So, does it matter?

It does matter. A company's share value is a measure of how profitable those companies are expected to be in the future. A plummeting market is an indication that most people think that most companies are likely to see their profits fall.

The markets believe that US President Donald Trump's tariff bombshell is expected to raise prices, lower demand and reduce profits, making companies less valuable and more inclined to cut investment and jobs.

So the real warning sign here is not about the value of your pension but about the health of the economy in which we live and work.

Falls like this sometimes, often even, herald an economic downturn. That is more of a worry than the value of your pension, which has seen and will see volatility like this over the years.

But that's not to say this is not a very big moment for the world economy.

Susan was no more than puzzled when she saw the first results from her home DNA testing kit.

Now a woman in her mid 70s, she had never known much about her grandfather, and paid for the private test to see if it threw up anything unusual.

"I did notice there was a lot of Irish heritage, which as far as I knew was wrong," she says.

"But I just pushed it aside and didn't think any more of it. I stopped paying for my subscription and that was that."

Except it very much wasn't.

It took another six years for Susan - not her real name - to realise everything she knew about her family history was wrong.

She later found out that back in the 1950s, she had been swapped at birth for another baby in a busy NHS maternity ward.

Her case is now the second of its type uncovered by the BBC. Lawyers say they expect more to come forward driven by the boom in cheap genetic testing and ancestry websites.

Out of the blue

A sharp, funny woman with shoulder-length white hair, Susan tells me her story from her sunny front room somewhere in southern England.

Her husband is sat next to her, jogging her memory and chipping in from time to time.

After taking that DNA test almost a decade ago, the genealogy company entered her data into its vast family tree, allowing other users to make contact with their genetic relatives – close or distant.

Six years later she received a message out of the blue.

The stranger said that his data matched hers in a way that could only mean one thing: he must be her genetic sibling.

"That was just panic. It was every emotion I could think of, my brain was all over the place," she says.

Susan's first reaction was that she may have been secretly adopted. Both her parents had died some years before, so she plucked up the courage and asked her older brother.

He was sure the whole thing was a scam. His sister had always been part of his life, and he was "absolutely certain" that one of his first memories was of his mother being pregnant.

Susan though still had her suspicions. She was slightly taller than her brother and, with her striking blonde hair, had never looked like the rest of family.

Her eldest daughter did some digging and found a copy of all the births registered in the local area on the day her mother was born.

The next baby on the list, registered at the same NHS hospital, had the exact same surname as the man who had contacted her through the genealogy website.

It couldn't be a coincidence. The only possible explanation was a mistake or mix-up in that maternity ward more than seven decades ago.

Until recently cases like this were unheard of in the UK, although there have been a handful of examples in other countries.

The standard practice in the NHS today is to place two wristbands around babies' ankles immediately after birth and keep mother and child together through their hospital stay.

In the 1950s maternity care was very different. Babies were often separated, placed in large nursery rooms and cared for by midwives.

"The whole system was far less sophisticated back then," says Jason Tang, from the London law firm Russell Cooke, which is representing Susan.

"It may be that staff didn't attach a card or tag immediately, or that it simply fell off and was put back on the wrong baby or on the wrong crib."

From the late 1940s the UK also saw a post-war baby boom putting more pressure on busy maternity services in the newly formed NHS.

This, of course, meant nothing to Susan for decades.

She grew up as part of a "normal, working class" household, met her husband and ended up working for the NHS herself in a "hands-on" clinical role.

Other than "a bit of the usual trauma" in her teenage years, she remembers her parents as a "very good, loving" couple who "did everything they could and always encouraged me".

"In a way, I'm so glad they are not here anymore to see this," says Susan. "If they are up there watching me, I really hope they don't know what's gone on."

If home DNA tests had been available earlier, she doesn't think she could have told them the truth "because it would have been so awful".

"But I really don't think that for me, anything has changed about them, they are still mum and dad," she says.

On the other hand, her relationship with the man she has always known as her older brother has, she thinks, been strengthened by what she's gone through.

"It's actually brought us closer together. Now we meet up more often and I get cards sent to 'my dear sister'," she says.

"Both he and his wife have been absolutely fantastic, honestly I cannot praise them enough."

She remembers receiving another "lovely letter" from a cousin at the time who told her, "Oh don't worry, you're still part of the family".

As for her new blood relations, she says the situation has been more difficult.

She has met up with the man who contacted her, her genetic sibling, and laughs as she remembers how similar they both looked.

"If you'd put a wig on him and a bit of makeup, it could honestly have been me," she jokes.

She has also seen photographs of the other person who she was swapped with at birth and her sons.

But building a relationship with that new side of her family has not been easy.

"I know they are my biological relatives but I didn't grow up with them so there's not that emotional connection there," she says.

"They closed ranks, basically, through loyalty to their sister which is admirable and I understand."

Susan's genetic parents died some years ago but she's been told she looks like her biological mother.

"I'd still like to know a bit more about her – what she was like and all that – but I never will, so there you go," she says.

"But if I take the emotion out of it, and just think logically and clearly, I was better off how I grew up."

Historic mistake

Susan is one of the first to ever receive compensation - the amount is not being disclosed - in a case like this.

She needed to take a second DNA test before the NHS trust involved accepted its historic mistake and made a "very lovely" apology.

Last year, the BBC reported on another decades-old case of babies swapped at birth, which again came to light after someone was given a DNA testing kit for Christmas.

Susan says the settlement was never about money but the recognition a mistake had been made all those years ago.

"I suppose you always want someone to blame, don't you?" she asks.

"But I know this will be with me for the rest of my life. I just wanted a conclusion."

On a quick drive around the small Ohio town of Delta, you can spot nearly as many Trump flags as American stars-and-stripes banners.

And at the petrol station near the Ohio Turnpike, the pumps bear relics of the last administration, with slogans slamming Trump's predecessor: "Whoever voted for Biden owes me gas money!"

This is Trump country - the Republican ticket easily won here in November's presidential election by a margin of almost two-to-one. And while the markets are in turmoil following Trump's unveiling of expansive global tariffs this week, plenty of people in Delta and hundreds of Midwestern towns like it still back the president's plans.

Those plans, to impose tariffs of between 10% and 50% on almost every country, have upended global trade and led to warnings that prices could soon rise for American consumers. Trump, meanwhile, has said the move will address unfair trade imbalances, boost US industry and raise revenue.

For some in Delta, the president's argument about fairness resonates.

"I don't want people in other countries to suffer, I really don't," said Mary Miller, manager of the Delta Candy Emporium, which sits in the middle of the village's Main Street. "But we need to have an even playing field."

Miller, a three-time Trump voter, believes other countries haven't played fair on trade. And like many here, she prefers to buy American-made goods.

As she watches over her stock of multi-coloured confectionaries, many of them made in the US, and weighs up how they might be impacted by fresh import taxes, she recalls how decades ago she heard that one of her favourite brands was moving its factories abroad. She hasn't bought another pair of Levi's jeans since.

Miller is unfazed by the possibility of price increases, which many economists say these new tariffs will bring.

"Sometimes you have to walk through fire to get to the other side," she said.

"If tariffs bring companies and business back to hard-working American people like the ones who live here, then it's worth it."

• Watch: Why Trump's tariffs aren't really reciprocal
• Reaction: Americans react to the president's trade policy
• Explainer: What are tariffs, and why is Trump using them?
• Prices: Americans could pay more for these everyday basics

These sentiments are common in Delta, a village of around 3,300 people less than 100 miles (160km) south of Detroit, even as other Midwestern towns brace for sharp shocks.

The automotive industry, with its complicated global supply chains, seems particularly vulnerable to the impact of major new tariffs, with companies in Michigan to the north and Indiana to the west already announcing factory shutdowns and job cuts.

But on the outskirts of Delta, there is a cluster of steel businesses that have been here since the 1990s and which may be better placed in a new era of American protectionism.

One of these businesses, North Star BlueScope, has urged Trump to expand tariffs on steel and aluminium.

At the same time, however, it has asked for an exemption for the raw materials it needs, such as scrap metal.

North Star BlueScope did not respond to interview requests, but in a back room at the nearby Barn Restaurant, a few local steelworkers who had just finished the night shift were drinking beers together early on Friday morning.

The workers, who asked not to be named, mostly laughed and shrugged when asked about the sweeping new tariffs that were announced by Trump at the White House on Wednesday.

It was a pretty clear indication that this economic news is unlikely to ruin their weekend.

Outside the restaurant, some Delta locals considered the possible upsides of these import taxes.

"Nobody's frantic. We're not going to lose any sleep over it," said Gene Burkholder, who has a decades-long career in the agriculture industry.

Although he owns some stocks, Mr Burkholder said they were long-term investments and he was not obsessing over the sharp drops in the two days following the president's announcement.

"If you have some spare cash, maybe it's a good time to buy some shares while they're cheap," he said.

A couple of booths over, as she finished eating breakfast with her son Rob, Louise Gilson said - quietly - that she did not really trust the president.

But Gilson, along with many people here, said she wanted to see action. She wholeheartedly agreed when another diner commented: "Trump may be wrong, but at least he's trying."

"The other people wouldn't have done squat," she said, referring to the Democratic Party.

The Gilsons agreed that the big local industrial employers have generally been good neighbours, contributing to the local economy, charities and the wider community, even as they have seen some less desirable effects of industrial development and worry about unequal sharing of the economic pie.

And as they recounted Delta's history, they described a gradual erosion in quality of life that they believe has made many people willing to roll the dice even when economists say Trump's tariff plan comes with stark risks.

"It was a good little town to grow up in," Rob Gilson recalled. But he said it now seemed less safe and friendly than when he was growing up in the 60s and 70s.

"It seems like the heart of America is gone," he said.

Delta, Louise Gilson added, "is the kind of place where 25% or 30% of the people are struggling with their demons".

And while these issues have little to do with tariffs, the challenges faced by people in towns like Delta may go some way to explaining why many are willing to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt, even as markets plunge on faraway Wall Street.

Whose decision was it?

Where next?

Is this the first of many summer departures?

Will he play for Man City at Club World Cup?

These sentiments are common in Delta, a village of around 3,300 people less than 100 miles (160km) south of Detroit, even as other Midwestern towns brace for sharp shocks.

The automotive industry, with its complicated global supply chains, seems particularly vulnerable to the impact of major new tariffs, with companies in Michigan to the north and Indiana to the west already announcing factory shutdowns and job cuts.

But on the outskirts of Delta, there is a cluster of steel businesses that have been here since the 1990s and which may be better placed in a new era of American protectionism.

One of these businesses, North Star BlueScope, has urged Trump to expand tariffs on steel and aluminium.

At the same time, however, it has asked for an exemption for the raw materials it needs, such as scrap metal.

North Star BlueScope did not respond to interview requests, but in a back room at the nearby Barn Restaurant, a few local steelworkers who had just finished the night shift were drinking beers together early on Friday morning.

The workers, who asked not to be named, mostly laughed and shrugged when asked about the sweeping new tariffs that were announced by Trump at the White House on Wednesday.

It was a pretty clear indication that this economic news is unlikely to ruin their weekend.

Outside the restaurant, some Delta locals considered the possible upsides of these import taxes.

"Nobody's frantic. We're not going to lose any sleep over it," said Gene Burkholder, who has a decades-long career in the agriculture industry.

Although he owns some stocks, Mr Burkholder said they were long-term investments and he was not obsessing over the sharp drops in the two days following the president's announcement.

"If you have some spare cash, maybe it's a good time to buy some shares while they're cheap," he said.

A couple of booths over, as she finished eating breakfast with her son Rob, Louise Gilson said - quietly - that she did not really trust the president.

But Gilson, along with many people here, said she wanted to see action. She wholeheartedly agreed when another diner commented: "Trump may be wrong, but at least he's trying."

"The other people wouldn't have done squat," she said, referring to the Democratic Party.

The Gilsons agreed that the big local industrial employers have generally been good neighbours, contributing to the local economy, charities and the wider community, even as they have seen some less desirable effects of industrial development and worry about unequal sharing of the economic pie.

And as they recounted Delta's history, they described a gradual erosion in quality of life that they believe has made many people willing to roll the dice even when economists say Trump's tariff plan comes with stark risks.

"It was a good little town to grow up in," Rob Gilson recalled. But he said it now seemed less safe and friendly than when he was growing up in the 60s and 70s.

"It seems like the heart of America is gone," he said.

Delta, Louise Gilson added, "is the kind of place where 25% or 30% of the people are struggling with their demons".

And while these issues have little to do with tariffs, the challenges faced by people in towns like Delta may go some way to explaining why many are willing to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt, even as markets plunge on faraway Wall Street.

The Nike Air Jordan 1 is, in some ways, the iconic US shoe. It's a popular sneaker line by a large American brand, created four decades ago for homegrown basketball legend Michael Jordan.

But although Nike sells most of its products in the US, almost all of its shoes are made in Asia – a region targeted by President Donald Trump's tariffs salvo against foreign countries he accuses of "ripping off" Americans.

Nike's shares fell 14% the day after the tariffs announcement, on fears over the impact they could have on the company's supply chain.

So what will all this mean for the price of Nike's shoe?

It depends on how much of the cost increase Nike decides to pass on to customers, if any, and how long they think the tariffs will actually be in place for.

'Competitive industry'

Goods from Vietnam, Indonesia and China face some of the heaviest US import taxes - between 32% to 54%.

Hopes remain that Trump might be willing to negotiate those rates lower. On Friday, he said he had had a "very productive" call with the leader of Vietnam, helping Nike shares to recover some ground after their steep Thursday falls.

But most analysts think the firm's prices will have to go up.

Swiss bank UBS estimates that there will be a 10% to 12% increase in the prices of goods that come from Vietnam - where Nike produces half of its shoes.

Meanwhile, Indonesia and China account for almost all of the balance of its shoe production.

"Our view is that, given how extensive the list of tariffs is, the industry will realize there are few ways to mitigate the impact in the medium term other than by raising prices," UBS analyst Jay Sole said in a note.

David Swartz, senior equity analyst at Morningstar, agrees that price rises are likely but says any large price increase would reduce demand.

"This is a very competitive industry. My guess is that it would be difficult for Nike to raise prices by much more than 10-15%. I don't think it could offset most of the tariff," he says.

Many other western brands such as H&M, Adidas, Gap and Lululemon will be facing the same predicament.

Nike is already facing a tight bottom line.

It had around $51bn in sales in its most recent fiscal year. The cost of making products, including shipping, third-party profits and warehouse fees, consumed only about 55% of revenue, giving it a healthy gross profit margin of more than 40%.

But that profit gets whittled away once you add in the cost of other business operations. A third of its revenue, for example, is consumed by selling and administrative expense.

By the time you factor in interest and taxes, Nike's profit margin has shrunk to roughly 11%.

That's across all its products, as they don't break down costs separately for its different items.

Rahul Cee, who set up the running shoe review website Sole Review, says there are other ways Nike could keep retail prices low.

Mr Cee, who trained as a footwear designer and worked for Nike and Vans in India, says one way could be to downgrade the level of tech in the shoe.

"So instead of using high-performance midsole foams and construction, stick to injection moulded EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate)," he says.

Another option would be instead of bringing out a new design every one to two years, to refresh the design cycle every three to four years.

Things could change fast

Simeon Siegel, managing director at BMO Capital Markets, says most companies were looking at Wednesday's announcement as "still far from the final conclusion".

"I don't think that many people believe that those numbers are etched in stone just yet," he says.

Theoretically, Nike is such a big brand that it should be able to put up prices without it hitting their sales, he says, but adds: "Do they have it right now is the question and do they have it across their product offering is another?"

Even before the announcement, Nike was facing a slump in sales that had curbed its ability to command full price for its shoes.

Finance chief Matthew Friend has also cited tariffs as an example of developments that were affecting consumer confidence.

And Nike relies heavily on US consumers, with the market contributing to roughly $21.5bn (£16.4bn) of its sales - almost everything it sells in its largest market of North America.

Sentiment in the US is a "significant concern" for Nike as it directly affects demand for its footwear, says Sheng Lu, a professor of fashion and apparel studies at the University of Delaware.

But ultimately he says firms may be forced to pass the cost of the levies on to consumers.

"Nike is very likely to raise prices if the tariff war persists. There is no way for brands to absorb a 30% to 50% increase in sourcing costs."

He adds: "How US trading partners react against the reciprocal tariff policy will also have a major impact."

China has already hit back with a 34% tariff of its own.

Part of the rationale behind Trump's tariff policy is because he wants more companies to manufacture their goods in the US.

However, Prof Lu does not see Nike or other companies significantly reshaping its supply chain any time soon "due to the complexity involved in footwear manufacturing".

That includes the time needed to "consider a long list of factors when deciding where to source their products - quality, costs, speed to market and various social and environmental compliance risks".

Matt Powers from the Powers Advisory Group says the lack of American textile mills will make it "difficult and expensive [for Nike] to pivot production back to the US".

Mr Powers added: "This transition, if pursued, would take years and require significant investment."

Nike did not respond to BBC requests for comment for this article.

Instagram's owner Meta and Pinterest have made significant donations to a charity set up in the name of 14-year-old Molly Russell, the BBC understands.

Molly, from Harrow in northwest London, took her own life in 2017 after being exposed to a stream of suicide and self-harm content on the two platforms. A coroner concluded the negative effects of online material contributed to her death.

The donations are thought to have gone to the Molly Rose Foundation, which campaigns for internet safety. Meta and Pinterest declined to comment.

Molly's family said they had decided not to take legal action against the tech companies and would "never accept compensation" over Molly's death.

In a statement via their solicitor, the family said that they would "pursue the aims we share with Meta and Pinterest through the Molly Rose Foundation to help ensure young people have a positive experience online".

Meta and other social media companies face multiple lawsuits in the US from families who claim their children were harmed by social media. The cases also involve attorneys general from more than 40 states, who claim that the design of the platforms caused harm to children.

The first trial is expected to be heard in November.

Details of payments to the Molly Rose Foundation have not been publicly disclosed. Rose was Molly's middle name.

The charity's annual report states: "The Molly Rose Foundation has received grants from donors that wish to remain anonymous. Having considered their obligations, the Trustees have agreed to respect these wishes."

The BBC believes that this refers to the payments to the charity from the two social media companies. These payments started in 2024 and are expected to be paid over a number of years.

It's not known exactly when any agreement over donations was reached.

Within the last nine months the charity has recruited a CEO, two public policy managers, a head of communications and a fundraising manager.

Asked about the donations, the charity repeated in a statement that it would "respect these wishes" for anonymity.

It is understood that no members of the Russell family have received any money from the donation.

After approaching the family's solicitor, a statement was released saying: "Following the coroner's inquest into Molly's death, we have decided that we will pursue the aims we share with Meta and Pinterest through the Molly Rose Foundation to help ensure young people have a positive experience online, instead of pursuing legal action. We, Molly's family, have always made clear that we would never accept compensation consequent upon Molly's death."

The Molly Rose Foundation has become a leading voice in highlighting the dangers of unregulated social media and remains highly critical of Meta.

It has called on the government to strengthen the existing Online Safety Act with more robust legislation.

It is not calling for a children's social media ban, as planned in Australia, but is demanding that technology companies take more responsibility for the content channelled to young people through social media algorithms.

In March this year, in association with publisher Pan Macmillan, the charity sent a copy of a book written by Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams to every MP in the country. In it Ms Wynn-Williams, who used to be the company's global public policy director, makes a series of critical claims about what she witnessed during her seven years at Facebook.

Molly's father Ian Russell is an unpaid trustee of the foundation and remains an outspoken campaigner.

In January Mr Russell wrote to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, calling on the government to act urgently to protect young people online. In his letter, Mr Russell said the UK was "going backwards on online safety".

He singled out Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg for specific criticism after the company scrapped its fact-checking programme on Facebook.

He said Mr Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, the owner of X, were part of a "wholesale recalibration" of the online world, moving away from safety towards a "laissez-faire, anything-goes model".

He told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg: "By turning the platforms backwards away from safety, Mark Zuckerberg has changed the game fundamentally and shown that the platforms aren't really here to play safe, they're here to make money."

Matthew Bergman, a US lawyer and founder of the Social Media Victims Law Centre, welcomed the news of the donations and paid tribute to the "indefatigable efforts" of Molly's father "to hold social media companies accountable".

Meta and Pinterest were approached by BBC News, but declined to comment.

Susan was no more than puzzled when she saw the first results from her home DNA testing kit.

Now a woman in her mid 70s, she had never known much about her grandfather, and paid for the private test to see if it threw up anything unusual.

"I did notice there was a lot of Irish heritage, which as far as I knew was wrong," she says.

"But I just pushed it aside and didn't think any more of it. I stopped paying for my subscription and that was that."

Except it very much wasn't.

It took another six years for Susan - not her real name - to realise everything she knew about her family history was wrong.

She later found out that back in the 1950s, she had been swapped at birth for another baby in a busy NHS maternity ward.

Her case is now the second of its type uncovered by the BBC. Lawyers say they expect more to come forward driven by the boom in cheap genetic testing and ancestry websites.

Out of the blue

A sharp, funny woman with shoulder-length white hair, Susan tells me her story from her sunny front room somewhere in southern England.

Her husband is sat next to her, jogging her memory and chipping in from time to time.

After taking that DNA test almost a decade ago, the genealogy company entered her data into its vast family tree, allowing other users to make contact with their genetic relatives – close or distant.

Six years later she received a message out of the blue.

The stranger said that his data matched hers in a way that could only mean one thing: he must be her genetic sibling.

"That was just panic. It was every emotion I could think of, my brain was all over the place," she says.

Susan's first reaction was that she may have been secretly adopted. Both her parents had died some years before, so she plucked up the courage and asked her older brother.

He was sure the whole thing was a scam. His sister had always been part of his life, and he was "absolutely certain" that one of his first memories was of his mother being pregnant.

Susan though still had her suspicions. She was slightly taller than her brother and, with her striking blonde hair, had never looked like the rest of family.

Her eldest daughter did some digging and found a copy of all the births registered in the local area on the day her mother was born.

The next baby on the list, registered at the same NHS hospital, had the exact same surname as the man who had contacted her through the genealogy website.

It couldn't be a coincidence. The only possible explanation was a mistake or mix-up in that maternity ward more than seven decades ago.

Until recently cases like this were unheard of in the UK, although there have been a handful of examples in other countries.

The standard practice in the NHS today is to place two wristbands around babies' ankles immediately after birth and keep mother and child together through their hospital stay.

In the 1950s maternity care was very different. Babies were often separated, placed in large nursery rooms and cared for by midwives.

"The whole system was far less sophisticated back then," says Jason Tang, from the London law firm Russell Cooke, which is representing Susan.

"It may be that staff didn't attach a card or tag immediately, or that it simply fell off and was put back on the wrong baby or on the wrong crib."

From the late 1940s the UK also saw a post-war baby boom putting more pressure on busy maternity services in the newly formed NHS.

This, of course, meant nothing to Susan for decades.

She grew up as part of a "normal, working class" household, met her husband and ended up working for the NHS herself in a "hands-on" clinical role.

Other than "a bit of the usual trauma" in her teenage years, she remembers her parents as a "very good, loving" couple who "did everything they could and always encouraged me".

"In a way, I'm so glad they are not here anymore to see this," says Susan. "If they are up there watching me, I really hope they don't know what's gone on."

If home DNA tests had been available earlier, she doesn't think she could have told them the truth "because it would have been so awful".

"But I really don't think that for me, anything has changed about them, they are still mum and dad," she says.

On the other hand, her relationship with the man she has always known as her older brother has, she thinks, been strengthened by what she's gone through.

"It's actually brought us closer together. Now we meet up more often and I get cards sent to 'my dear sister'," she says.

"Both he and his wife have been absolutely fantastic, honestly I cannot praise them enough."

She remembers receiving another "lovely letter" from a cousin at the time who told her, "Oh don't worry, you're still part of the family".

As for her new blood relations, she says the situation has been more difficult.

She has met up with the man who contacted her, her genetic sibling, and laughs as she remembers how similar they both looked.

"If you'd put a wig on him and a bit of makeup, it could honestly have been me," she jokes.

She has also seen photographs of the other person who she was swapped with at birth and her sons.

But building a relationship with that new side of her family has not been easy.

"I know they are my biological relatives but I didn't grow up with them so there's not that emotional connection there," she says.

"They closed ranks, basically, through loyalty to their sister which is admirable and I understand."

Susan's genetic parents died some years ago but she's been told she looks like her biological mother.

"I'd still like to know a bit more about her – what she was like and all that – but I never will, so there you go," she says.

"But if I take the emotion out of it, and just think logically and clearly, I was better off how I grew up."

Historic mistake

Susan is one of the first to ever receive compensation - the amount is not being disclosed - in a case like this.

She needed to take a second DNA test before the NHS trust involved accepted its historic mistake and made a "very lovely" apology.

Last year, the BBC reported on another decades-old case of babies swapped at birth, which again came to light after someone was given a DNA testing kit for Christmas.

Susan says the settlement was never about money but the recognition a mistake had been made all those years ago.

"I suppose you always want someone to blame, don't you?" she asks.

"But I know this will be with me for the rest of my life. I just wanted a conclusion."

Val Kilmer is joking around in his trailer on the set of Top Gun, pretending to bark demands into a packet of More cigarettes as if it's a phone and he's talking to the studio boss.

"He wants more! More sex! More drugs! More wine! More tobacco! More headaches! More ulcers! More herpes! More women! And less of Tom Cruise!"

Co-stars Rick Rossovich and Barry Tubb, also on a break from playing the film's elite fighter pilots, are in the trailer too, cracking up with laughter.

Rossovich, aka Cruise's on-screen partner Slider, is apparently the person who wants "more". Wearing shades but no shirt, he proceeds to pretend to throw a chair at Kilmer's head, before jumping out of the trailer into the sunshine and dancing off.

Kilmer took his video camera everywhere to film behind the scenes, and picked these snapshots of the carefree tomfoolery on the Top Gun set in 1985 as the opening shots for a 2021 documentary about his life.

"He had the first video camera I'd ever seen," recalls Tubb, who played Wolfman. "They got so tired of telling him to turn it off on the set of Top Gun that they finally just let it go.

"We had a fun time with it because we tried to catch everyone on the toilet with the video camera. That was our goofing around. So there's video somewhere of everyone with the door open on the toilet. We were goofballs."

He adds: "Cruise never hung out with us. It was all of us, except for Cruise. He was method acting as the loner, and we were all at this beach hotel, riding motorcycles down hallways and things."

And Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson, "unlike some producers, threw parties every other night", he says. "And so it was definitely in the air."

'Young and bulletproof'

Tubb is one of many former co-stars who have been fondly remembering Kilmer's acting and his antics, following his death at the age of 65.

"He was the coolest cat I've ever met," Tubb tells BBC News. "Not only did he have great acting chops, but he was funny as hell."

Top Gun was a breakthrough for Kilmer, who played Iceman, the rival to Cruise's hotshot Maverick at the US Navy's academy for elite fighter pilots.

On screen, saving the USA from Soviet MiG jets was serious business. Off screen, filming in California and Nevada, things were less serious.

"As Sean Penn once said, working in Hollywood is like being in high school with money," Tubb says.

"I was 22 years old, and I was the younger of the bunch.

"We had a deal that if one of us wanted to go to Mexico, all of us had to go. And Val had his van from high school, so we would all pile into Val's van and go over to Mexico for dinner.

"We were young and bulletproof."

Tubb whispered one of the film's famous lines when the class watched a video of aerial dogfights: "This gives me a hard-on."

That came about after he played a practical joke by switching the real tape in the academy's VHS player for a pornographic video.

"[Director] Tony Scott heard me say that and he said, 'Keep that in'. We were doing things like that. We were cutting up and having fun the whole time."

'Play up the rivalry with Tom'

Kilmer originally didn't want to appear in the film, saying he throught the script was silly and he disliked its warmongering.

To the audition, he "wore oversize gonky Australian shorts in nausea green" in an attempt to put the producers off, he wrote in his autobiography.

"I read the lines indifferently. And yet, amazingly, I was told I had the part."

The script contained "very little" substance to Iceman's character, he said in his documentary.

"So I attempted to make him real. I manifested a backstory for him, where he had a father who ignored him, and as a result, was driven by the need to be perfect in every way. This obsession with perfection is what made him so arrogant."

He added that he would "purposely play up the rivalry between Tom's character and mine off screen" as well as on.

"What ended up happening is the actors, in true method fashion, split into two distinct camps.

"You had Maverick and Goose on one side, and Slider, Hollywood, Wolfman and me, Iceman, on the other.

"It was fun to play up the conflict between our characters, but in reality I've always thought of Tom as a friend, and we've always supported each other."

By the time a sequel was finally shot in 2018 and 2019, Kilmer had suffered from throat cancer. He had a tracheotomy operation, affecting his voice and making it difficult to speak.

But Cruise was the one who insisted Iceman should return. The pair shared a highly emotional scene as Kilmer's character, now an admiral, typed out part of his side of the conversation on a screen, before sharing a hug.

"Cruise couldn't have been cooler," Kilmer said. "Tom and I took up where we left off. The reunion felt great."

Many of the cast had remained friends after the original film, Tubb says, and Rossovich's home in the Hollywood Hills became the "Top Gun club house".

"I remember going to Rick's house and they were painting Rick's kitchen, and Val got up on top of the refrigerator and did 20 minutes of Hamlet. Never missed a word."

Kilmer was "an actors' actor", who raised the bar for the rest of the cast, Tubb says.

"He had a level of artistry that transcended the Hollywood norm.

"Val was a cool cat. Also, he could back it up. I remember seeing The Doors movie and I just saw Jim Morrison.

"His ability to disappear into characters was incredible. Same with Iceman."

He adds: "Val, among his peers, was well loved. He came fully loaded."

The love for Kilmer has shone through in the tributes from his fellow actors.

Kelly McGillis, who played Cruise's love interest Charlie and starred with Kilmer in 1999's At First Sight, told the BBC in a statement: "I need some time to process what Val has meant in my walk here on Earth.

"He was an enigmatic presence sprinkled here & there throughout my journey. A force with depth & weight which will take some time to sort out.

"There are just so many feelings at the moment.

"Gratitude being the first."

Cheeseburgers on set

English actor and dancer Will Kemp, who appeared alongside Kilmer in the 2004 slasher film Mindhunters, said the news of his death came as a "real shock".

He recalls how the star had set him at ease and made him laugh with his "wicked sense of humour" when he was a nervous young actor on his first production.

"I entered into it with sort of trepidation really because I had heard all sorts of rumours about possible bad behaviour on set, and also he's this acting legend that I'd grown up with.

"But Val was really sweet, fun, generous, but really, really unpredictable!"

His memories of his first ever big scene will forever be tied up with Kilmer.

"I have a very clear memory of the first scene that I shot that was in a helicopter, and we're flying around with [director] Renny Harlin shouting, 'why are we not shooting?'

"We're halfway through take one, and Val - totally unscripted - somehow pulls out a cheeseburger and was just casually munching on it.

"He turns over to me and goes, 'hey, is everybody having fun?'

"It just blew my mind."

Kemp, also known for his portrayal of the Swan in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, admitted Kilmer's acting methods on set sometimes appeared to be "crazy" while at other times there were "moments of absolute genius".

He added: "He created so many iconic characters and was a real enigmatic movie star."

Donald Trump, in announcing his sweeping new tariffs on US imports on Wednesday, promised that the history books would record 2 April as America's "liberation day".

After two days of stock market turmoil, however, this may also be remembered as the week the president's second-term agenda ran headfirst into economic - and political - reality.

US stocks have been in a tailspin since Trump unveiled his tariffs at Wednesday afternoon's White House Rose Garden event, with signs that America's trading partners - Canada, the European Union and China, most notably - are not backing away from a fight.

Meanwhile, other presidential efforts, on foreign policy and immigration, and at the ballot box - have faced notable setbacks in recent days.

The White House on Thursday felt a bit like a building battening down for a coming storm. The four big posters showing America's "reciprocal" tariffs on a long list of countries were on prominent display in the press briefing room, but administration officials available to respond to media questions were few and far between.

Out on Pennsylvania Avenue, workers unloaded pallets of metal fencing, which will ring the White House grounds in preparation for what officials anticipate to be a large anti-Trump demonstration at the nearby Washington Monument on Saturday. The first lady announced that a White House garden tour event that had been scheduled for that day was postponed because of security concerns.

Even the normally loquacious president stopped only briefly to talk with the crush of reporters on his way to board the Marine One helicopter on the first leg of his journey to Florida.

"I said this would be exactly the way it is," he declared when asked about the day's stock market turmoil. The markets - and America as a whole - would soon boom, he said.

The president, it seems, is willing to wait out the tempest created by his tariff plan. He appears confident that his economic vision of a rebuilt, job-rich American manufacturing sector protected from foreign competition - a vision he has closely held for decades - will ultimately be proven right.

The Trump agenda's close encounter with cold, hard reality wasn't limited to trade this week, however.

His two top foreign policy priorities - ending the wars in Gaza and Ukraine - both appear mired in the kind of messy details and conflicting agendas that often obstruct lasting peace.

Israel has once again moved into Gaza and escalated a bombing campaign that is generating reports of widespread civilian casualties. The ceasefire that Trump touted in the days before he took office appears to be in tatters.

Russia, meanwhile, continues to pile new conditions on to negotiations for a full ceasefire with Ukraine, which is an indication that the nation may be buying time to allow its ground forces to take more territory.

"If I think they're tapping us along, I will not be happy about it," Trump said of Russia. But he added that he still believes President Vladimir Putin wants to "make a deal".

Evidence so far indicates the contrary, according to Jake Sullivan, who was President Joe Biden's national security adviser.

In an interview with the BBC, he accused Trump of handing Russia most of its demands, though he acknowledged it was still early in the process and things could yet change.

"So the current dynamic in these negotiations a) is not in fact producing Russian willingness to reach a fair and just compromise, but b) is actually stimulating a view in Moscow that if they just keep holding out, they're just going to keep getting concessions from the United States. And so far that is what has happened."

Even Trump's deportation and immigration enforcement efforts, which still have high public support, have been at least partially derailed by legal challenges.

While his administration has successfully completed several flights transferring alleged Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang members to an El Salvadoran high-security prison, the judge presiding over a case challenging those deportations said on Thursday there was a "fair likelihood" officials had violated his court order to turn the flights around.

Other court challenges - to Trump's suspension of political asylum processing and refugee resettlement, his attempt to end birthright citizenship and his revocation of temporary protected status for about 350,000 Venezuelans - are currently working their way through the US legal system.

At some point, the US Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on many of these disputes.

This week also marked the biggest round of elections since Trump's November 2024 victory, as voters headed to the polls in Wisconsin to elect a state judge and in two Florida special elections for seats in the House of Representatives.

While the Republican candidates in Florida prevailed, their winning margins were about 15%, which is about half of what Trump posted in those congressional districts in November.

In Wisconsin, a key political battleground state, the Democratic-backed candidate won. Democrats were able to maintain the liberal majority on the court despite the tens of millions of dollars spent by conservative groups, including by tech billionaire Elon Musk, who campaigned there in person.

Taken as a whole the results suggest that Democrats are doing well in hotly contested races and may be making inroads even in reliably conservative areas - in part by campaigning against Musk and his efforts to massively cut federal programmes and staff.

That could be an indication that the party will have the political wind at their backs in state elections this November and the midterm congressional elections next year.

The stock market tumult, and those ballot-box results, may be behind a few scattered signs of dissent within Republican ranks.

Ted Cruz, an arch-conservative senator from Texas, said on his podcast on Friday that Trump's tariffs "could hurt jobs and could hurt America" - particularly if other nations retaliate, as China has already done.

"If we're in a scenario 30 days from now, 60 days from now, 90 days from now, with massive American tariffs, and massive tariffs on American goods in every other country on Earth, that is a terrible outcome," he continued.

On Wednesday night in the US Senate, four Republicans joined with Democrats to support rescinding the emergency declaration that justifies Trump's earlier Canada tariffs.

And on Thursday, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa joined with Democrat Maria Cantwell of Washington to back a measure that would require Congress to directly approve tariffs that stay in effect longer than 60 days.

Republicans by and large have been sticking with the president. They seem unwilling, or unable, to sway Trump from his current course on tariffs and government cuts and appear fearful of the political consequences of breaking with the man who has a vise-like grip on the party.

But if the current economic shock becomes a long-term hardship, and if government programme cuts translate into tangible disruptions in popular services or if Trump's standing in opinion polls continues to sag, members of his own party may begin eyeing the exit signs for the first time in years.

And that would bring an unceremonious end to some of Trump's most ambitious efforts.

Trump, no longer worried about standing before voters, may feel liberated from the immediate political consequences of his actions - but reality has a way of asserting itself in the end.

Nintendo has been the talk of the gaming world this week after it finally unveiled details of the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, the sequel to the third-best selling console ever made.

Despite excitement over its upcoming launch in June, fan conversations have been dominated by one topic - the price of its games.

The console itself is priced similarly to its rivals - Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X.

But the games are a different story: Mario Kart World, which is being launched alongside the Switch 2, comes in at £74.99.

"It makes it inaccessible, it's a lot to drop on one game," said Chloe Crossan, one of several gamers the BBC spoke to at a gaming store in Glasgow.

She told the BBC she was excited about the console and its various games, but was concerned about the cost involved.

"I guess you could argue you're paying for a game that four people could play," she said.

"So there is that element - but it is £75 for a game which is a lot."

It's not expected that all of the Switch 2's titles will be so expensive - but charging so much for its best-known game still represents a big change in Nintendo's pricing strategy.

It also risks confusing customers, as the same games can be purchased for different amounts depending on whether they are buying the physical game or the digital-only version.

Experts don't think Mario Kart World will be a one off.

Christopher Dring, editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Game Business, said he expected to see price rises elsewhere too - particularly for the most anticipated titles, such as the latest edition of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

"I think if you're going see a game that's going to be able to charge more, look out for when GTA 6 gets a release date later in the year," he said.

He says there are lots of reasons prices might go up, part of which is that modern games are a lot of work.

"These games are taking longer to make, they require more people to make them," he said.

But there's also the fact, he says, that video game prices have not kept up with inflation.

"I bought N64 games for £50 in the turn of the century and that's £80 today," he pointed out.

For some time developers have got round that by monetising transactions in games and relying more on cheaper digital downloads.

But that process, Mr Tring says, is running out of road.

"That growth has started to slow, so they're now relying on price increases."

But it's clear those kinds of prices won't put everyone off.

Another gamer the BBC spoke to, Kathryn Brown, said she and her family were excited about the Switch 2 - even if it was "more expensive than usual".

"If it gets good reviews, and I wait until people have bought it first, then we'll think about it," she said.

And Lewis Tocher - who's had the original Switch since the day it launched - said he would get the console as soon as he could afford it, despite the cost of the games.

But he said considering the cost of game development nowadays, he was "surprised" it hadn't gone up in price sooner.

But what will retailers make of it?

Mr Dring told the BBC this was the first time a console's physical and digital games were being priced differently.

He said that could be a real blow for the people who sell the physical games.

"When a Nintendo Switch game releases, around 80% of its sales are in a box - if you compare that to Xbox, around 80% of new game sales are digital.

"By charging more for the physical copy it's going to encourage people to download more, which will be good for Nintendo's bottom line."

But of course it will be worse for the retailers who miss out on sales of the physical game.

The price of failure

One thing Nintendo will be hoping to avoid replicating is the disastrous launch of its handheld 3DS in 2011.

It came hot off the heels of the DS, the best-selling handheld in history, with fans seemingly desperate for an upgrade.

But the price tag of over £200 - more than double that of the original handheld - sparked consternation amongst fans who weren't willing to shell out so much for it.

Within six months, Nintendo had slashed the price by almost half, and over time it picked up traction.

It is fair to say the 3DS faced other problems such as a lacklustre list of launch games, whereas the Switch 2 is launching with the first Mario Kart game in a decade.

Nonetheless Nintendo has form with price decisions backfiring.

The N64 launched at £250 back in 1997, and within a year it had tumbled down to £99.

And in 2002 the firm cut £21 off it widely-expected £150 price for the GameCube just two weeks before its launch.

By bringing back the likes of Mario and Donkey Kong for the Switch 2, Nintendo has consciously looked to the past with its new console.

It will be hoping it won't be forced to do the same with its decisions around prices.

A car park operator that demanded £11,390 in parking charges from a driver has lost a court case and been ordered to pay thousands in costs.

Excel Parking, which has been criticised for charging drivers £100 if they took more than five minutes to pay at a car park in Derby, has been doing the same in Darlington.

Hannah Robinson, 21, was among those to be caught out and received hundreds of letters demanding money, as well as repeated phone calls.

Excel Parking eventually took her to court for some of the parking charge notices (PCNs), but a judge has now dismissed the claim and told the firm to pay £10,240.10 in costs to charity.

'I feel happy'

"Following the court hearing I feel relieved and a massive weight has lifted from my shoulders," said Miss Robinson.

"It has been extremely stressful and frustrating; I constantly worried what letters I was receiving or who was going to knock at the door after the threats."

Miss Robinson had free legal representation at the hearing but the judge made a pro bono costs order, meaning Excel Parking will have to pay thousands in costs to a charity called the Access to Justice Foundation.

This was the amount her legal team from Keidan Harrison spent defending the case.

"I feel happy that they [Excel Parking] are getting a taste of what it felt like for me," said Miss Robinson.

Excel Parking Services Ltd told the BBC it did not want to comment as it was appealing.

Miss Robinson said the problems began for her in June 2021, when she started parking at the Feethams Leisure car park in Darlington, as she worked in a restaurant above it.

She said she paid each time but it sometimes took longer than five minutes due to poor phone signal and problems with the payment app.

"I started getting a couple of fines, and I was young and had just started driving, so I would pay them because I was scared," said Miss Robinson, from Stockton-on-Tees.

She continued using the car park, despite the problems, because it was the safest one to use as a young woman on her own at night.

"There was actually a lift from that car park up to my workplace," she said.

"I worked unsociable hours, I finished late, sometimes midnight or one in the morning, it was just the safest option for me to go down there."

She decided to start appealing against the charges towards the end of 2022, but Excel still wanted her to pay.

"I'd been begging to speak to them, constant emails," she said.

"I've got threads and threads of nobody wanting to communicate with me, and I was asking for so much help to try and sort this out."

She eventually received a letter, in February 2024, asking her to pay 67 unpaid charges.

Each one was £100, plus a £70 debt collection fee, so the total was £11,390.

She then broke down and told her family what had been happening.

"I couldn't believe it," said her nan, Adrienne Atkin.

"I couldn't believe the amount, and I couldn't believe a company could do that, so I was shocked."

Mrs Atkin then started trying to help her granddaughter.

"It's almost been a full-time job trying to keep on top of everything, and it's very easy for people to give up," said Mrs Atkin.

"It had an effect on a young girl that shouldn't have happened, when she should be out working, having fun.

"At some point Hannah just stayed in her bedroom. When her phone rang she was on edge because she didn't know if it was going to be them."

Miss Robinson eventually received a court claim asking her to pay two of the £100 PCNs, plus a £70 debt collection for each, and various other costs.

Excel Parking later applied to amend this claim so they could pursue 11 different PCNs.

But at a hearing on 26 March, District Judge Janine Richards dismissed this application, and also dismissed the original claim.

She found Excel's "conduct in relation to this litigation was both unreasonable and out of the norm", and therefore ordered the firm to pay the winning party's legal costs of £10,240.10.

Miss Robinson said she was grateful to her solicitors, Luke Harrison and Anya Prasad.

"I am overwhelmed with the support I have received," said Miss Robinson.

"The hearing was very tense but I'm glad the judge saw through them.

"I am upset with the way they have treated me and I hope this stops them going after innocent people."

Shares slid again on Friday as markets continued to react to the uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of US tariffs.

European markets saw further falls as trading got under way, with both the UK's FTSE 100 index and France's Cac 40 down more than 1%. Asian markets had also declined earlier.

The sweeping new tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday triggered a slump in global stock markets, with the US S&P 500 having its worst day since the impact of Covid in 2020.

Traders are concerned the tariffs will increase prices and weigh on growth in the US and abroad.

Trump told reporters on Thursday he thought things were going "very well", adding: "The markets are going to boom."

But on Friday markets continued to slide, with Germany's Dax index down more than 1%.

Trump has said the tariffs will boost US economic growth, but some economists have warned of a slowdown in the US and in the global economy.

The managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, has said the new tariffs "clearly represent a significant risk to the global outlook at a time of sluggish growth".

She said the IMF was still looking into the "macroeconomic implications" of the measures and stressed the need to avoid actions that could do more damage to the global economy.

As stock markets continue to tumble after the US imposition of sweeping and swingeing tariffs, many are asking does this qualify as a stock market "crash" and what that could mean for them.

The word crash has been used sparingly over the decades and is usually reserved for a fall of over 20% from a recent peak in a day, or over the course of a couple of days.

On 19 October, 1987 - also known as Black Monday - the US stock market lost 23% of its value in a single day, and other stock markets had similar falls. The UK FTSE index fell 23% over two days – partly because it closes earlier than New York, and so it often plays catch up with whatever happens in the US the next morning.

That was most definitely a crash.

In 1929, the US stock market lost over 20% of its value in two days - and 50% within three weeks. That was the famous Wall Street Crash that ushered in the great depression of the 1930s.

By comparison, the US stock market has lost around 17% of its value from its peak in February and is now down 2% from where it was this time last year.

Nevertheless, these are the biggest and quickest declines we have seen in world markets since they were gripped by the panic of Covid-19 in early 2020.

A decline of 20% from a peak is considered a "bear market" - a description of a market that appears to be more likely to go down than go up. We are very close to that description right now.

How does it affect you?

While many people own stocks and shares directly, most people's exposure to stock markets come through their pension plans. There are two types – defined benefit schemes which guarantee a fixed pension income, and defined contribution where your pension pot rises and falls with financial markets.

That may sound like defined contribution plans are very vulnerable to this sell off – but not all of your contributions go into shares. Much of the money goes into safer investments such as government bonds. These tend to increase in value when stock markets fall as they are seen as a "safe haven" along with other assets such as gold.

That is exactly what has happened here.

Government bonds have risen in value and that can offset some or all of the fall in shares depending on how your pension savings are allocated.

The closer to retirement you are, the higher percentage of your pension pot is likely to be invested in bonds - so the less affected you will be.

There have been many falls like this in the decades since the Wall Street Crash but in the long term, shares have turned out to be a good investment – and pension savings is a long term game.

So, does it matter?

It does matter. A company's share value is a measure of how profitable those companies are expected to be in the future. A plummeting market is an indication that most people think that most companies are likely to see their profits fall.

The markets believe that US President Donald Trump's tariff bombshell is expected to raise prices, lower demand and reduce profits, making companies less valuable and more inclined to cut investment and jobs.

So the real warning sign here is not about the value of your pension but about the health of the economy in which we live and work.

Falls like this sometimes, often even, herald an economic downturn. That is more of a worry than the value of your pension, which has seen and will see volatility like this over the years.

But that's not to say this is not a very big moment for the world economy.

A Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih has killed at least 14 people and left dozens of others wounded, according to regional head Serhii Lysak.

Six of the dead were children, said President Volodymyr Zelensky, who grew up in the city.

Images from the scene showed at least one victim lying in a playground cordoned off by police. The head of the city's defence administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, said a ballistic missile had landed in the centre of a residential area.

One video showed a large section of a 10-storey block of flats obliterated by the attack and victims lying on the road outside.

The attack is among the deadliest on Kryvyi Rih since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.

The city also came under attack earlier this week when a building in the centre was struck. Officials said four people were killed in that attack.

Zelensky wrote on social media that at least five buildings had been damaged in Friday's strike: "There is only one reason why this continues: Russia doesn't want a ceasefire, and we see it."

His home city is about 40 miles (70km) from the front line in eastern Ukraine and with a population of 600,000 it is reputed to be the longest city in Europe.
