- The father of an 'extraordinary' little girl, 4, killed by an uninsured driver who had been speeding, on his phone and on cannabis has voiced his frustration over the 'lenient' sentence.
Javonnie Tavener, 23, was given a jail term of three years and ten months for causing the death of Mayar Yahia, four, and seriously injuring her mum Sara and a neighbour in the horror crash.
He was given an additional 18 months in jail for a separate violent attack weeks later. He was also banned from driving for six years.
It means he could be out of jail by 2028 and back driving soon after.

- Angry Aston Villa fans branded the security operation at Lille a "disgrace" as video showed fans restrained behind stewards as they tried to reach their seats. Staff at the French club's ground were recorded trying to hold back Villa supporters behind a metal gate after they had entered the Stade Pierre-Mauroy before last night's Europa League first leg away tie. There were shouts of "let them in" and "you're an absolute disgrace." A few supporters were able to get through before the force of numbers told and many more fans burst through. But the staff responded by shutting the gate, leaving dozens on the other side despite them holding tickets and having already cleared initial entry barriers.
