09.29 GMT Teenage boy who admitted murdering Leo Ross, 12, due to be sentenced today A teenage boy who murdered 12-year-old schoolboy Leo Ross in Birmingham last year will be sentenced later today. The hearing at Birmingham Crown Court is likely to last all day and will contain information readers may find distressing. On 29 January 2026, a 15-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to murdering Leo by stabbing him in the stomach during a random attack in parkland. Leo was thought to have been making his way home from his school, the Christ Church, Church of England Secondary Academy, in Yardley Wood, Birmingham, when he was stabbed on 21 January 2025. His attacker, who was 14 at the time, has also admitted two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in relation to previous attacks on separate victims, as well as having a bladed article on the day he killed Leo. He denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm on 22 October 2024 and assault by beating on 29 December 2024 in relation to two further victims, and those charges were ordered to lie on file. Leo was walking home from school when he was stabbed. Photograph: West Midlands Police/PA Police inquiries established that the knife used to kill Leo was thrown into a nearby river, and that the boy responsible, riding a bike, had previously attacked several women in local parkland. An inquiry by West Midlands police also found that the killer opted to wait around to talk to officers at the murder scene, falsely claiming he had stumbled across Leo lying fatally injured beside the River Cole. It emerged that Leo had no connection with his attacker and was killed in what senior officers believe was a random and unprovoked stabbing. The defendant is expected to appear in front of Justice Choudhury KC for sentencing.

The index that was incepted nearly 130 years ago ended the Feb. 6 trading session above 50,000 for the first time. Investors have watched the Dow transform from a 12-stock, industrial-focused index in the late 19th century to one that now features 30 diverse, time-tested, multinational companies. Over the trailing decade, the Dow has taken down 32 1,000-point milestones, beginning with 19,000 and ending, most recently, above 50,000. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » While investing on Wall Street often entails looking to the future, reminiscing about the past can sometimes clue investors into what to expect in the years to come. With the Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassing a psychologically important level, the question that needs to be asked is: When will this ageless index hit 100,000? Although the past can't guarantee the future, history offers a pretty clear answer -- and it may be sooner than you might think. When will the Dow hit 100,000? As is often the case when putting your money to work in the stock market, the answer varies with perspective. Using the Dow's average annual returns as a guideline, we can estimate when it'll effectively double from its Feb. 6 closing value. For example, the Dow troughed during the Great Depression on July 8, 1932, at just 41.22. In the more than 93 years since this bottom, the index has returned an annual average of 7.89%. If th...

Mikaela Shiffrin set to ski for the first time in the Olympics in team combined event toggle caption Alain Grosclaude/Agence Zoom/Getty Images Europe CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy — Slalom star Mikaela Shiffrin is set to make her 2026 Olympic debut on Tuesday in the women's Alpine team combined event in Cortina. The event pairs two skiers — one racing the downhill, the second racing the slalom — as a way to marry the two sides of competitive Alpine skiing, speed and technical. Shiffrin, 30, is the world's top slalom skier . This winter, she has won seven of eight World Cup slalom races (and placed second in the other), bringing her career World Cup win total to 108, the most of any skier all time, man or woman. Shiffrin will race Tuesday alongside Breezy Johnson, the 30-year-old skier who won the Olympic downhill race on Sunday . The pair won the team combined event at last year's World Championships in Hinterglemm, Austria, the first time the event was held at a major international skiing competition. Sponsor Message The team format has replaced the traditional individual combined event, as the speed and technical disciplines in skiing have diverged to the point where it has become rare for skiers to race in both. Tuesday's race is the Olympic debut of the new format. The U.S. women's Alpine team is so strong that the Americans will field three other teams in addition to Shiffrin and Johnson. The second team of downhill skier Jackie Wiles, who finished fourth in Sunday's individual race, and slalom skier Paula Moltzan, who is currently sixth in the World Cup slalom standings, should also contend for a medal. Downhiller Bella Wright will ski with slalom skier Nina O'Brien, and the fourth team will feature Keely Cashman in downhill and A.J. Hurt in slalom.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has big plans for the company's robotaxi fleet, but investors must identify what's realistic and what's hype. If you've been following Tesla (TSLA +1.51%), you know that the most important thing at the company no longer has to do with electric vehicles. It's now all about artificial intelligence (AI). Currently, the most prominent is Tesla's self-driving robotaxi fleet, which has launched in Austin, Texas, and San Francisco. While investors can monitor the fleet, there's still a lot to play out, which is why investors are always anxious for updates from CEO Elon Musk. On Tesla's 2025 fourth-quarter earnings call, Musk issued a mouthwatering update on the robotaxi business. Should investors buy into the hype or be skeptical, given that Musk is known for making big promises? Musk guiding for a surge in robotaxi vehicles Tesla launched robotaxis in a few select markets last year, including Austin and San Francisco. However, it wasn't exactly a full self-driving launch. The vehicles were geofenced to certain areas within the perspective cities, and human monitoring was involved, either remotely or via human monitors in the passenger seat of the robotaxis. Musk has long given big promises on robotaxis and did so again during Tesla's fourth-quarter earnings call. The billionaire serial entrepreneur said that between Austin and the Bay area, he thinks there are well over 500 robotaxis carrying paid customers, a number that he expects to likely double each month. He expects there will be robotaxis "in probably somewhere between a quarter and half of the United States by the end of the year, pending regulatory approval." Furthermore, Musk also said that there are robotaxis in Austin operating with no physical or remote monitor and 100% unsupervised. However, he added that the company is being very cautious with the rollout, and there can be some very difficult intersections for robotaxis to navigate. The claims about fully unsupervised robotaxis have also...
