Voting is taking place in the Clacton by-election. The vote was triggered by the resignation of MP Nigel Farage. There are 34 candidates on the ballot paper, so the local council needs larger tables than usual for the count. The contest is estimated to have cost taxpayers around £250,000. The main Westminster parties are boycotting the election which they have dismissed as a stunt.

A school in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv was hit by a Russian drone this morning while more than 100 children and 60 staff members were inside. Part of the building was damaged and a fire broke out on an upper floor. President Zelenskyy said because students and teachers had been in a shelter, no-one had been injured. But he said Russia should bear "clear responsibility" for attacking Ukrainian children and schools.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the ban on football fans drinking in the stands during matches is outdated. Burnham, who's a keen Everton fan, said he didn't think it was fair for football fans to be singled out, when those watching other sports are not. He suggested they could trial a change. The ban came in during the 1980s when hooliganism was a major problem.

Crowds crossed freely from Spain into Gibraltar for the first time in 118 years after the physical border with the contested British territory was removed overnight. The historic agreement - which came into force at midnight - follows four years of negotiations after Britain's exit from the European Union. Spain will now be responsible for Schengen border controls at Gibraltar airport and port. That means no more passport checks for the 15,000 Spanish workers who cross into the Rock every day.

A study has found that dogs process speech in a surprisingly human-like way - an ability not seen in any other animal. Researchers found that they take special note of consonant sounds, in a similar way to babies when they are learning to decipher language. The same team has previously shown that dogs can tell one language from another.

It’s emerged that some of Europe’s biggest fish farmers are now using poultry by-products to feed their salmon. Two seafood suppliers have reportedly already started, and two more are preparing to, prompted by fishmeal prices almost doubling in the past two years. And chicken-fed salmon could soon be part of your weekly shop too. What are the implications around this, and would you eat salmon fed with chicken by-products?

“It worked, boom.” That’s Nigel Farage celebrating a Reform UK plot to break election law - by having a US company secretly pay for three influential political polls that benefitted the party. Earlier in the investigation, Reform’s Head of Policy James Orr and senior advisor Dan Jukes arranged for a Verbatim reporter to pay for the polls through a US company. Orr and Jukes believed the firm was run by the reporter’s American father. Mr Farage was filmed by undercover reporters from Verbatim as part of a year-long investigation that Channel 4 News has thoroughly checked and verified. This meeting took place in his Clacton constituency in July - when Mr Farage was fighting a by-election he called after separate allegations about his finances. Watch the full investigation on YouTube.

Tesla has unveiled its new and redesigned Roadster - a 'flying car' that can turn in the air and land. Developed in collaboration with CEO Elon Musk’s rocket company SpaceX, it's claimed the Roadster can accelerate from zero to 60mph in less than one second and can hit a top speed of over 230 mph. Tesla demonstrated the two-seater vehicle at a livestreamed event in Texas, showing it driving upside down on a ramp and performing a mid-air flip. Musk told the crowd, "It can basically fly like a rocket", but admitted it's "not necessarily a safety-optimised car." It remains unclear how the proposed flying features would work on public roads, or whether they would be legal. Production is set to start in 2028.

'I will never be safe in a man's toilet', says Isabella who is a trans woman. Thousands of single-sex spaces in the UK, like changing rooms and toilets, should be used based on biological sex, according to new guidelines that come into place today from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. The guidance says trans people should instead be offered a separate mixed-sex space. It follows a Supreme Court ruling last year that the definition of sex for the purposes of the Equality Act means biological sex - the sex of a person at birth, not the gender you identify with. While gender critical organisations welcome clarification on the law', many in the trans community and LGBTQ+ organisations feel the guidelines leave them more open to discrimination. #Trans #LGBTQ #Toilet #ChangingRoom #C4News #Channel4News

The cost of diesel has hit an all time high with the average cost of a litre passing £2 for the first time. The previous record was set in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Over the past seven months, the Iran war has led to severe disruption in the production and transportation of wholesale oil. The RAC said the rise spelt pain not only at the pumps for drivers, but for everyone who buys goods or services that rely on diesel lorries and vans.

Scottish nurse Sandie Peggie is taking action against her own union, the Royal College of Nursing. She says her union reps didn't support her when she was suspended for complaining about using the same changing room as her transgender colleague Dr Beth Upton. This is her second tribunal. Previously a judge upheld a harassment claim against her employer NHS Fife arising from the same facts. Her team said they can’t tell Channel 4 News who is funding the case for legal reasons but they did say it was a 'left wing individual'. JK Rowling's office won’t confirm if she is financially backing her.
