16.09.2026 โ‡ข The Day a Body Was Found in the Search for Noah Woods
โŒจ

Overnight coverage carried over the Letby inquiry finding that babies could have been saved, and the AI safety row as OpenAI's Sam Altman said fear was justified but firms should be trusted.

By morning attention shifted to inflation rising to 3.1% and to Piddington, the Oxfordshire village voting symbolically to leave the UK over plans to house asylum seekers in a nearby barracks.

From midday the disappearance of 3-year-old non-verbal Noah Woods in Suffolk took over, with his father's plea, release of playground CCTV and police cordoning a lake. Divers entered the water in the afternoon and recovered a child's body.

Late in the day editors noted the death of the Putney Pusher suspect after release and the Palace pushback against Earl Spencer's new Diana book.
