PC Jess Turnbull, who only joined Northumbria Police in September, died in hospital on Wednesday, surrounded by her loved ones, Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine said.

The teenage officer had been called to a collision involving two cars, with the occupants of one of the cars fleeing the scene, on the A189 near Cramlington, Northumberland, at around 11.10pm on Monday.

The force said that while she was out of her marked police vehicle at the scene, PC Turnbull was struck by a black Mercedes CLC that was unconnected to the original incident.

Northumbria Police said a 73-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He was taken to hospital but was subsequently released before being re-arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, he has since been bailed.

The chief constable paid tribute to the young officer at the force's headquarters in North Tyneside, where the Union flag was at half mast.

She said: "This is an extremely tragic incident where Jess lost her life in the line of duty while serving and protecting our communities."

"Policing is a family and we are mourning the passing of not only a colleague and a friend but also our own family member, and we will continue to support each other during this extremely difficult time."

She added that the PC still had "so much still to look forward to in her career and life," and that she had "made the ultimate sacrifice and that will never be forgotten".

Police have appealed for witnesses or people with dashcam footage to come forward.

The public have been urged not to leave floral tributes to the officer at the scene of the crash for safety reasons.

People who wish to pay tribute with flowers have been asked to do so at the force headquarters in Middle Engine Lane, Wallsend.

The officer's family has asked for privacy.

It is understood PC Turnbull is the first Northumbria Police officer to be killed on duty since 2006, when PC Joseph Carroll was fatally injured in a collision caused by a prisoner he was transporting pulling the handbrake on his car.

Maguire was convicted of breaking the speed limit in his £130,000 Range Rover when he was caught driving at 37mph in a 30mph zone in Altringham, Greater Manchester.

The 33-year-old centre-back - who failed to make Thomas Tuchel's 26-man squad for the World Cup - was prosecuted and convicted in the single justice procedure last week.

It has now emerged that as his England teammates jetted out to the USA to start their World Cup preparations, Maguire faced further disappointment as he was convicted of breaking the speed limit on 28 December.

Maguire - who was given a 56-day road ban in January last year for speeding - pleaded guilty in writing to the latest charge and was sentenced at Tameside Magistrates' Court.

He was ordered to pay a £1,000 fine, given three penalty points on his licence and he must also pay £120 in costs and a £400 victim surcharge.

In a written apology to the court, he said: "I was driving at 37mph in what I mistakenly believed was a 40mph zone, when it was in fact a 30mph limit.

"I understand this was my responsibility and I fully accept the offence. I will be more careful in future and pay closer attention to speed limit signs.

"If possible, I would be very grateful if the court would consider allowing me to complete a speed awareness course instead of receiving penalty points."

His conviction came as two of his Manchester United teammates were also facing criminal proceedings over speeding offences.

Reserve goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, 28, was caught driving a Mercedes at 41mph in a 30mph limit in the Greater Manchester village of Hale Barns on 24 November last year.

The speed was clocked just before 11pm, around an hour after Bayindir and his teammates recorded a 1-0 defeat in their Premier League clash with Everton.

Bayindir, who has been called up for Turkey's World Cup campaign, pleaded guilty to speeding without entering any mitigation.

He was fined £666 at Manchester Magistrates' Court with three penalty points, £120 costs and a £266 victim surcharge.

Matheus Cunha has also been charged with speeding and failing to respond to police letters asking him to identify the driver of the vehicle.

A Mercedes registered in the name of the 27-year-old Brazilian striker was clocked driving at 37mph, while on the same stretch of Hale Road where Bayindir was caught speeding, court documents show.

The incident happened within hours of United's opening day Premier League 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on 17 August last year, and was recorded on the route between Old Trafford and Cunha's home in Greater Manchester.

Police said Cunha was asked to clarify who was driving but he did not respond to the letters.

He is now accused of an additional criminal offence for not providing the information and has not entered any pleas, court documents show.

An official said the striker - who is part of Brazil's World Cup squad - now faces a hearing in open court in which disqualification from driving will be considered at the same time as sentencing.

All three United stars were spared having to attend court last week as their cases were handled in private, with a single magistrate taking decisions based on the written evidence.

Cunha may appear himself when his case is dealt with on 16 December at Bolton Magistrates' Court.

Maguire was sentenced by a Greek court in March over an incident on the island of Mykonos in August 2020., in which he faced charges of non-serious assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery.

He has denied the charges and said he would appeal.

The daily Wegovy Pill contains the same active ingredient as the weekly injection, and is almost as effective, with users losing on average of just under 14% of their body weight over 64 weeks.

As well as the attraction of being needle-free, it is expected to be cheaper than the jab, though manufacturer Novo Nordisk will not confirm a UK price.

It will only be available with a private prescription and won't be available on the NHS until it has been reviewed for cost effectiveness by the medicines' watchdog NICE.

Professor Naveed Sattar, Professor of Cardiometabolic Medicine at the University of Glasgow, said: "The approval of the once-daily oral form of Wegovy is welcome news for people living with obesity, particularly those who would prefer not to use injections.

"With obesity rates in the UK now at very high levels, and associated with substantial multimorbidity, additional treatment options for sustained weight loss are greatly needed."

An estimated 1.6million people have used injected versions of Wegovy or its competitor Mounjaro in the last year. Only a tiny fraction of them are prescribed the drug on the NHS.

But approval by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of a tablet formulation is expected to result in a surge in demand. Online pharmacy Chemist4U says it already has a waiting list of more than 10,000 customers.

Eli Lilly, which makes Mounjaro, is expected to win approval for a tablet version later this year.

Emil Kongshoj Larsen of Novo Nordisk said the UK is the first country in Europe to approve the pill version of Wegovy.

"Around 15 million people in the UK are living with obesity, yet only a small proportion of them have access to treatment and we hope this approval supports increasing access to obesity care in the UK," he said.

"With the introduction of this option for weight management, we have an opportunity to support many more eligible patients. Most importantly, this gives patients another option - one that may fit their lives and help them reach their health goals."

Johannes Natland, 19, said he thought he would be killed if he did not go along with the plan after he was offered 25,000 euros by the Foxtrot network - a Swedish organised crime group used by the Iranian regime - to shoot dead an unknown target.

Giving evidence in English at the Old Bailey, he said he initially thought the planned hit was a "joke", but wanted to take some money to buy drugs before backing out.

"When I realised this is real and these guys are expecting me to go to England and shoot someone, I'm in a bit of a pickle," he said.

"If I was to say, 'no, I was just going to trick you guys' I would be in serious danger - worse they might hurt my family. I thought they'd kill me."

He admitted he "made a lot of bad choices" but said: "I was trying to put up this facade, this hard exterior like I kill people in England for breakfast, but I was terrified. I didn't know what to do."

"I'm not no cold-blooded professional hitman. I find this ridiculous."

Natland said he'd been portrayed as "some professional international hitman, like I'm Liam Neeson" from the film Taken, but added: "I was never a criminal back home, I was a drug addict."

The court has heard Natland was directed to stashes of money, guns and ammunition, after arriving at Manchester Airport from his home in Stavanger, in southwest Norway, on 17 March.

He filmed himself handling an antique revolver, a semi-automatic pistol and 12 live bullets, in his room at the Briar Court Hotel, in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

Natland told jurors he was "stressing", sitting in "a city I've never heard of", with two firearms under his bed after he was told "tomorrow is the day".

He said he came up with the "not very brilliant plan" to shoot himself in the foot to avoid going through with the plan but did "definitely not" intend to kill someone.

"I was thinking that's the only way I'm going to get out of this. Of course, it's going to look like I'm an idiot... but desperate times call for desperate measures," he said.

Bodyworn camera footage shows Natland, wearing only his boxer shorts, pretending to shoot armed police with an imaginary gun as they arrested him at the hotel early on 19 March last year.

"I don't know why I done it," he told the jury. "I was just happy. I thought they was my saviour, this is my way out."

Natland has pleaded guilty to possession of the two guns and the bullets, but denies conspiracy to murder between 1 and 20 March last year.

He said he was a good student and keen footballer but his drug habit "destroyed everything" and he spent time in a care home and a psychiatric unit after taking amphetamines, cannabis and cocaine.

Natland said one of the boys in care initially sent him a message to recruit him into the alleged murder plot, which was directed by a user called "Agent 47", along with another Norwegian teenager, "Generalen".

The trial continues.

Here are five key claims he made - and why they matter.

1. 'The Oslo Agreement is dead'

Shtayyeh has spent decades advocating for a two-state solution.

The Oslo Accords were supposed to create the framework for limited self-rule for Palestinians in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but were undermined by mistrust, violence from both sides and an ongoing wave of Israeli settlers taking land in the West Bank.

His comment reflects a wider sentiment that the chances of a two-state solution have plummeted.

2. 'The Palestinian Authority is collapsing'

Under a long-standing agreement, Israel collects taxes and is supposed to transfer them to the Palestinian Authority (PA).

These taxes make up more than two-thirds of the PA's spending budget. But Israel has frequently halted, or drastically cut, these transfers, meaning the PA is now short by around $5bn (£3.75bn).

Public services are struggling desperately to cope and now, according to the former prime minister, the PA is "collapsing". That's a serious warning of a brewing crisis.

3. 'The difference between Netanyahu and Bennett is no more than the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi'

What Shtayyeh says he wants from the Israeli government is a reformer - someone who could channel the spirit of former South African leader FW de Klerk, make extraordinarily bold decisions and unite a fractured land.

Israel has an election later this year and the (narrow) favourite to be the next prime minister is Naftali Bennett.

But Shtayyeh told me he thought Naftali Bennett and Benjamin Netanyahu were almost indistinguishable. A new leader, he claimed, "will go through cosmetic steps…as a public relations campaign".

4. 'There are so many things that Europe can do to make the Israeli occupation costly'

During our conversation, Shtayyeh claimed "the whole world" had been "moved" by the plight of Palestinians, pointing to the large protests seen in many cities.

But he said that not enough was being done, showing "how the international community is incapable of moving in the right direction".

He told me more settlers should be sanctioned, that European countries should boycott official visits by Israeli officials, and Europe should cease its "association agreement".

He links this to the pressure placed on the South African apartheid regime - a comparison that particularly angers many in Israel, particularly the government.

5. 'The next war is going to be against Turkey and Egypt'

This is very much his personal opinion, and it's not one you hear widely, but Shtayyeh told me that he thinks Israel will target both Turkey and Egypt for future attacks.

When I pushed back, reminding him that Turkey is a NATO country, he said "it doesn't mean Turkey will be attacked from outside - the conspiracy against Turkey is to break it from within", claiming that "in order for Israel to achieve its goals, a 'Greater Israel' would have to live within these regions".

An Israeli official told me that the allegation was "delusional nonsense".
