Parents at a West Sussex school are being warned about an explicit video involving a child which has been distributed to youngsters via social media.

A rather strange ruling has been handed down by the Sixth Circuit Appeals Court.

We break down the record-breaking achievements of the English quintet in the Champions League and look ahead to who they could meet in the next stage Yes it is.
