Last summer, Jay Slater's disappearance in Ibiza grabbed headlines across the UK, with many theorising what could have happened to the British teen until his death was tragically announced. This Wednesday, Jay Slater's name returned to headlines as our news team live blogged his inquest - taking place to establish the events that led to Jay's death,
Jay Slater's mum broke down in tears at the inquest into her son's death. She told the court: I know you have tried to locate them but how can we ever get any understanding we know he died and he had an accident but from him leaving that holiday resort to going up to there we have read their statements and we want these people to be here sat in front of us, we want to ask them questions"
Jay's friends Lucy Law and Brad Hargreaves were not able to be tracked down to give evidence.

This evening, our sports team will be live blogging one of the biggest matches of the season, as Manchester United are set to take on Tottenham Hotspurs in a hotly anticipated all-English Europa League final. The two teams are aiming to put their rotten seasons behind them by claiming silverware with success in the Europa League.
‌
While the final represents a huge chance to lift a trophy, it also offers each a chance to return to the Champions League. Each side have seen their hopes of playing in the competition evaporate due to their league positions amid woeful league form. But both sides can put that right in the Basque country.
Both Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou are each chasing a first trophy in English football. Both spoke in their pre-match press conferences on Tuesday, and while Amorim and the United camp were in relaxed mood, the Spurs boss was anything but - in spiky mood as he hinted at this being his penultimate Spurs match.

During PMQs this Wednesday, our politics team broke the news that Keir Starmer said he wanted more pensioners to get winter fuel payments in a huge U-turn on the controversial cut. The Prime Minister said with the economy showing signs of improvement he wants to ensure "more pensioners are eligible for winter fuel payments".
The surprise announcement at PMQs - a fortnight after No10 ruled out a change in policy - came amid mounting pressure to roll-back the decision to strip the £300 payment from all but the very poorest pensioners. Labour has argued the unpopular decision - announced just weeks after the party's election victory last year - was necessary to fix the Tory mess they inherited.
‌
But in recent weeks Labour MPs have blamed the policy for the party's bruising results at the local elections earlier this month and defeat to Reform UK at a key by-election. Speaking at PMQs, Mr Starmer said: "We all know the economy was left in absolute mess by the Tories. We had to stabilise the economy with tough decisions but the right decisions. Because of those decisions it is beginning to improve."
