Some families said that baby deaths were being misclassified to prevent further investigation.

Baroness Amos, who is leading a national investigation into maternity care, said: "Maternity and neonatal services in England are failing too many women, babies, families, and staff."

Investigators spoke to hundreds of harmed families and staff across 12 NHS trusts in England, many of whom shared shocking accounts of their experiences.

Some families alleged in the report that their babies were designated stillborn instead of dying after birth.

"They felt the system incentivised the recording of deaths as stillbirths as this prevents the case from being investigated by a coroner," the report said.

Jack and Sarah Hawkins, whose daughter Harriet was stillborn, were not part of the Amos investigation, but have fought to get a separate inquiry launched for bereaved and harmed families in Nottingham.

Jack said: "We have met a number of people and heard reports from a number of people whose babies they say were born alive and who the hospital say were born dead.

"And that is a horrific position, a horrific thing to say, and yet of course we believe the victims, not the NHS, who have shown themselves to be sparing with the truth around some of these issues."

Neither supported Baroness Amos' inquiry. Sarah said it "isn't going to change anything".

'There needs to be a public inquiry'

"Families just want accountability and this report is not going to bring accountability," she said.

"There needs to be a statutory public inquiry and some form of justice. Because if your child died in any other circumstance in life, you would get justice. People would be held to account.

"Yet in maternity services, it doesn't happen like that and that is so unfair."

The National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation (NMNI) in England was set up by Health Secretary Wes Streeting in June after he met families harmed by poor maternity care.

In her initial report released in December, Ms Amos said "nothing prepared her" for the amount of "unacceptable care" families currently receive.

Investigators have met more than 400 family members and heard from over 8,000 people, including NHS staff.

NHS England has been contacted for comment.

He runs two shops, packed with clothes, bedding, jewellery, souvenirs and ornaments, and he hasn't sold anything for days.

The tourists who should be thronging these streets aren't here.

We are only a short walk from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the most important sights in the Christian world, and Jaffa Gate, one of the main entrances to the city's historic warren of sites and shops.

But it's quiet. Worryingly quiet.

'I think there will be another war'

"Jerusalem is very empty," he says, waving an arm at the quiet street. "We have no tourists, we have nothing. They have fled because of the war."

Having survived the COVID lockdown, his business is now having to cope with another slowdown. And now Mohammed fears another shock.

Does he think there will be another war, I ask. "To be honest, from what I hear, yes I think so. I think there will be another war. And nobody likes war."

That may be true, but there are certainly those who are more open-minded to war than others.

'Take off the head'

At Jaffa Gate, we bump into Moshe Cohen, 23, who's actually quite keen on military action against Iran starting as soon as possible.

"I hope it starts in a few days," he tells me, smiling.

I ask why. "Because they give all the money to Gaza, to Hamas. Everything comes from them. It's a lot of money. So you have to take off the head and make the world a better place."

So what if Americans were to decide not to attack Iran - should Israel go alone? "Yes we should. If they [the Americans] don't want to, then we'll have to go first."

Alongside him, his friend, Bezalel, nods in agreement. They have no doubt at all that an attack on Iran has to happen.

By contrast, Khalil Al-daqaq freely admits he doesn't know what's round the corner.

His shop, a short stumble from the Holy Church, has been run by his family for decades. He first worked here as a child - he's now 67. Friendly, welcoming and happy to chat.

'Some people are really scared'

"Trade is bad, but we are surviving," he tells me. "It could be worse. I'm a very optimistic person. In this country, you have to be.

"It's tense here. Unexpectedly. We don't know what's going to happen in the coming days. Or the next hour. Some people are really scared, but you know - what will happen, will happen.

"But people will always want to come here. When it is calm and peaceful, they will return. It's a holy place for everyone. What we are missing over here are logical, sensible guys. For the leaders… we're just numbers to them."

And that sense of fatalism is a line you hear regularly - a feeling that it's not worth worrying about the future because it will happen soon enough.

We bump into Yaakov Simcha, a 21-year-old who has come here from New Jersey to study the Torah, Judaism's most important text.

So what, I ask, is going to happen?

"I have no idea. I'm not nervous or anything. I believe in God, and I believe that whatever he wants to happen is going to happen. And so, you know, I think his plan is going to work."

He smiles at me. "Whatever happens, happens. It's his plan. I'm just going to sit back and continue my studies."

On 21 July 2011, the day it was announced that the former prince would step down from the role, Epstein wrote: "I assume he knows that this is Charles doing."

The email was in response to a message from an associate, who said: "Lots of TV coverage on PA and always big feature on you. Insane."

Sky News believes PA refers to Prince Andrew.

The former prince served as the UK's special representative for international trade and investment between 2001 and 2011. The role gave him access to senior government and business contacts around the world.

He stepped back from the role amid increasing scrutiny and criticism about his continued relationship with the US financier and convicted sex offender.

A photo of the two men walking in New York made headlines in the months ahead of him stepping down.

The three million files released by the US Department of Justice provide a glimpse into fragments of personal conversations that were occurring when Andrew and Epstein's relationship was making headlines 15 years ago.

The convicted sex offender had been emailing friends about the news Andrew had lost his official trade role all day.

In another email about the news, Epstein said: "I'm sure this is good for him, he will now be free."

He also sent a news article about Andrew stepping down to Ghislaine Maxwell, who asked: "Why?"

Epstein responded: "I think he wants to make money."

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on his 66th birthday.

After 11 hours of questioning, he was released under investigation.

Last week in a statement, the King stressed that Buckingham Palace would help the police if it was approached as part of the investigation.

The monarch wrote: "What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.

"In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.

"As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter."

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing.

It added that six others on the speedboat, who are also Cuban citizens, were injured and have been detained.

The Cuban commander of the border patrol boat was also wounded, according to Cuba's interior ministry.

In a statement, the ministry said the 10 passengers on the speedboat, which it claims was registered in Florida, had been living in the US and that "according to preliminary statements by those detained, intended to carry out an infiltration for terrorist purposes".

It said the passengers were armed and that most "have prior records involving criminal and violent activity".

Assault rifles, handguns, and Molotov cocktails were among the items seized, the statement added.

The ministry identified the six people detained and said two are wanted by Cuban authorities "based on their involvement in the promotion, planning, organisation, financing, support or commission of actions carried out in the national territory or in other countries, in connection with acts of terrorism".

The ministry also identified one of the dead and said efforts were under way to identify the other three.

The government said another Cuban national had been arrested, adding that he "had been sent from the United States to facilitate the landing and reception of the armed group and has confessed to his role".

US secretary of state Marco Rubio said no US government personnel were involved but insisted: "We are going to have our own information on this, we are going to figure out exactly what happened."

He said the US would try to determine if those in the incident were US citizens or permanent residents.

How the incident unfolded

The speedboat came within one nautical mile of a channel on Falcones Cay, on Cuba's north coast, when it was approached by five members of a Cuban patrol unit, the interior ministry said in an earlier statement.

The crew of the speedboat then opened fire, wounding the commander of the Cuban vessel, the statement added.

It said the injured were evacuated and given medical attention.

Florida's attorney general James Uthmeier said he was ordering prosecutors to open a separate investigation with other state and federal law enforcement partners.

"The Cuban government cannot be trusted, and we will do everything in our power to hold these communists accountable," he wrote on X.

Florida congressman Carlos Gimenez, a Cuban-American former mayor of Miami, demanded an "urgent" investigation into what he called a "massacre".

It comes amid a time of heightened tensions between the US and Cuba following increased pressure from Donald Trump's administration.

The two countries previously collaborated on combating drug smuggling and other crimes, but have ceased to do so.

The US has also blocked virtually all oil shipments to the island, piling pressure on its communist-run government.

A growing number of European countries seem to think it's causing a problem, as more and more consider bans or restrictions.

In an effort to get children to log off screens and into real life, Spain plans to ban under-16s from social media platforms.

For many adults, it seems to make sense, but how do young people feel about losing access?

"I think as a society we have got to a point that we have to do something about it, and I think a ban is the best option," 16-year-old Africa tells me.

I've come to meet a group of 12- to 17-year-olds at Spain's oldest secondary school in Madrid.

Much to my surprise, all of them support the restriction.

"I think that as long as private companies own these apps, there won't be really positive things because the only thing that matters [to them] is that you spend more time in the app and for them to make more money," 14-year-old Max explains.

Goodbye apps, hello school success

Like several of the other boys in the group, he said he has struggled in the past with social media addiction, spending hours doomscrolling at the expense of going out with friends.

It's a problem that's also troubled 12-year-old Theo, the youngest in the group.

"I was five or six hours a day watching a screen and I failed three or four exams," he said.

"My parents took off all those things [apps] and then I started to get good marks."

Several of the girls in the group also have concerns about the impact of social media on their peers' mental health.

Elena, 16, and 17-year-old Vega explain that the algorithms often push endless streams of posts about "clean eating", body image and beauty to teenage girls, leading some to become trapped in a cycle of unrealistic comparisons.

At times, they say it can feel relentless. "A lot of really young girls develop really fast eating disorders, for example, because of social media," adds Vega.

While this group is pro-restrictions, they admit that not all their classmates agree.

"We had a debate in my class about this, and I noticed that mostly girls believe that the boundary is a good idea and guys think it's not," Vega continues.

A lost summer

While she supports government intervention, she also thinks teenagers need to learn self-control and limit their time online.

Her peers are more sceptical: "We are practically children; we don't know how to do those things. We need external control," Africa said.

"I don't think teenagers have the ability to escape out of a system that is designed entirely around keeping them inside of that app," agrees 17-year-old Beltran, who also lost a summer to social media addiction.

He says he felt numb after hours online, and his interest in other activities plummeted.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called social media the digital "Wild West" and the under-16s ban is part of a raft of measures aimed at making children safer online.

Unnecessary overstep or necessary protection?

The government has also asked prosecutors to investigate potential crimes committed by Meta, X and TikTok in connection with the possible creation and dissemination of child porn using AI.

In early February, Sanchez said that in just 11 days, three million nude AI-generated images appeared on X, many of them depicting children.

In a post a few days later, X said, "We maintain zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation - including AI-generated content - and enforce strict policies to keep minors safe and ensure a positive experience for everyone."

Despite the reassurances, an overwhelming majority of Spaniards support boosting restrictions online. An IPSOS poll in 2025 found 82% backed a social media ban for under-14s.

However, the statistics reveal a generational divide. While older people were overwhelmingly for it, only 41% of Gen Z gave a thumbs up for a ban in schools.

Few, though, could match the outrage of the owner of X, Elon Musk.

Following the announcement of the ban, he called the Spanish prime minister "a tyrant and a traitor to the people of Spain".

Telegram's owner, Pavel Durov, also waded in, warning the changes risk turning Spain into a surveillance state.

So who's right? Is this the state overstepping, or a necessary protection?

Social media 'made to hack the brain'

"Among girls and boys that have previously been using social media for hours, we see worse mental health," explains psychologist Professor Silvia Alava Sordo.

"Social media platforms are made to hack the brain."

She said the hormones rushing around teenagers' rapidly developing bodies mean they can have far stronger reactions to likes or comments on social media than adults.

The professor likens it to the thrill people get from playing slot machines, and agrees that at such a formative age, children's brains need to be protected.

Following Australia's lead last year, Spain is just one of several European countries reconsidering children's relationship with social media.

France is planning a ban for under-15s, and the UK has promised to make young people safer online.

Possible changes include phone curfews, restrictions on doomscrolling and a block for under-16s.

Madrid-based content creator Jon Echeverria Franco thinks it's all a step too far, and worries platforms like WhatsApp could be lumped in with X and TikTok, restricting a popular communication tool.

"In my opinion, it's not the same, I mean, with WhatsApp you speak with your classmates and on the other hand, on Twitter or TikTok, you can find dangerous information," he said.

He also thinks the decision to block access should lie with parents, not the state. He's also concerned that any legal restrictions could be a power grab by the Spanish government.

The Off Movement

Campaigner Diego Hidalgo Demeusois strongly disagrees and believes adults and children need to look at the impact of high connectivity on society.

His group, the Off Movement, have carried out stunts to try to get people to stop scrolling their lives away.

On one occasion, a horde of zombies holding mobile phones emerged from Madrid's metro and walked through the city's streets to promote "Off February", an international campaign to get people to take a month-long digital detox.

As well as a social media ban for children, Hidalgo believes smartphones need to be age-restricted, claiming our screen dependency is causing people to be increasingly isolated and sedentary.

In short, he warns we are risking a global health emergency.

"Normally, if you're addicted to something, one of the ways you can get out of that addiction is because other people around you are going to say you have to do something," he said.

"But if everyone's an addict around you, there are going to be fewer opportunities to actually quit that addiction."

As I listen to his arguments, I think about all the hours I've lost to doomscrolling; the countless times face-to-face conversations or exercise that have been neglected for digital deep-dives.

I wonder if social media is the new smoking and whether in a few years time there will be a mass backlash, or if instead, we are all too far gone and will just continue facilitating and feeding each other's habits.
