2011 – Osama bin Laden, the suspected mastermind behind the September 11 attacks and the FBI's most wanted man, is killed by the United States special forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The captain of a dive boat has been jailed for four years over the deaths of 34 people in a fire aboard his vessel five years ago in California.

Jerry Boylan, 69, was convicted of one count of "seaman's manslaughter" by a jury last year.

Prosecutors said Boylan failed to have a night patrol or conduct fire drills as required by law.

All 33 passengers and a crew member sleeping below deck died in one of California's worst maritime disasters.

Prosecutors said the captain escaped, along with four members of the crew, without trying to help them.

After last November's guilty verdict from a jury in Los Angeles, US Attorney Martin Estrada said the deaths had been caused by the ship captain's "unpardonable cowardice".

He said Boylan had neglected to carry out his duties by "failing to perform any lifesaving or firefighting activities whatsoever at the time of the fire, even though he was uninjured".

The fire broke out in the early hours of 2 September 2019 while the commercial scuba diving vessel, the Conception, was moored in Platt's Harbour near Santa Cruz Island, south of Santa Barbara. At the time, it had been hosting a dive expedition over the Labor Day holiday weekend.

The captain and crew members escaped by jumping overboard and swimming to another vessel nearby. The crew members told investigators at the time that the flames were too intense to save anyone trapped in the passenger quarters.

The former captain's request for a new trial was denied by a federal judge last month.

Victims of the tragedy include five members of a Californian family who were celebrating a birthday.

Michael Quitasol, his daughters Evan, Nicole and Angela Quitasol, and his wife, Fernisa Sison, were all on the Conception when the fire broke out.

Other victims include marine biologist Kristy Finstad, physics teacher Scott Chan and his daughter Kendra, and Arizona couple Patricia Beitzinger and Neal Baltz.

The captain faced a maximum of 10 years in prison, according to Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the US Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.

Callum Hudson-Odoi scored twice as Nottingham Forest took a big step towards Premier League survival by beating already-relegated Sheffield United.

Ben Brereton Diaz's penalty put the home side ahead at Bramall Lane before Hudson-Odoi's superb curling effort brought Forest level midway through the first half.

The Blades responded well but missed a host of first-half chances and were punished when Ryan Yates put the visitors ahead with a thumping effort six minutes after the break.

Hudson-Odoi then made sure of a vital three points for Nuno Espirito Santo's side when he cut inside and bent the ball past Blades goalkeeper Wes Foderingham into the far corner.

It was the 100th Premier League goal conceded by Sheffield United this season, equalling the record set by Swindon Town in 1993-94.

A frustrating day for the hosts was compounded when Anel Ahmedhodzic was sent off for a second bookable offence seconds before the full-time whistle.

With just two games remaining, Forest are now three points ahead of Luton Town in 18th and have a significantly better goal difference than Rob Edwards' team.

Bromley beat Solihull Moors 4-3 on penalties to secure a dramatic promotion to the English Football League for the first time in the club's 132-year history.

Captain Byron Webster scored the deciding penalty to extend his 100% winning record at Wembley to four matches.

Bromley twice led through top scorer Michael Cheek, who rolled the ball into the bottom to open the scoring.

Joe Sbarra hit back shortly after half-time before Cheek won and scored a penalty to put his side back in front.

Solihull captain Jamey Osborne equalised for the Moors again to send the tie to extra-time, with Ravens substitute Alex Kirk twice hitting the woodwork as neither side could find the winner.

Moors got off to the worst possible start in the shootout with Bromley keeper Grant Smith saving from Tyrese Shade and Joss Labadie, but Nick Hayes denied Ashley Charles to keep Solihull in contention.

They scored their next three but Webster stepped up to net his side’s fourth and send Bromley up to League Two.

Manager Andy Woodman said in the lead up to the game his goal had always been to take the club to the EFL and Sunday's promotion final was his side's golden ticket, with Solihull also playing for promotion for the first time since the club's formation in 2007.

Three tourists found dead in Mexico were shot in the head and their bodies dumped in a well, authorities have confirmed.

Officials believe the men were attacked trying to stop the theft of their pickup truck.

Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, 30 and 33, and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, disappeared on 27 April while on a surfing trip in Ensenada.

Relatives of the three men identified their bodies on Sunday after travelling to Mexico to assist authorities, a state prosecutor said.

The attackers wanted the vehicle for its tyres and shot the tourists when they resisted, Baja California state prosecutor Maria Andrade suggested.

Their bodies were found in a 4m (15ft) deep well about 6km (4 miles) from the site of the attack in the town of Santo Tomás on Friday.

Abandoned tents, a burnt white pickup truck and a phone linked to the missing surfers were found nearby.

A fourth body was found in the well but had been there longer and was unconnected to the case, officials said.

Two men and a woman have been detained on suspicion of direct or indirect involvement in the attack. One man has been charged with "forced disappearance".

Earlier, the FBI said it was looking into the case and was in touch with international partners.

Baja California is one of Mexico’s most violent states, as local drug gangs fight turf wars.

But the Ensenada area, about 120km (75 miles) south of the US-Mexico border and known for its surfing conditions, is considered safer and has long attracted tourists from California.

French bakers set a new Guinness World Record on Sunday when they made a 140.5m (461ft)-long baguette in Suresnes, in the suburbs of Paris.

The massive baguette beat a 132.62m (435ft) mega loaf baked in the Italian city of Como in 2019, which set the previous world record.

Part of the baguette was shared with the French public and given to homeless people.

Julen Lopetegui has agreed a deal to become West Ham manager at the end of the season.

Nothing has been signed yet but the 57-year-old is close to making a return to management following his departure from Wolves in August last year.

Current Hammers boss David Moyes has come under increasing pressure after a poor run of results that has seen his side win one of their past nine Premier League games and exit the Europa League in the quarter-finals.

West Ham were thrashed 5-0 by Chelsea on Sunday to leave them ninth in the table.

Moyes, who is out of contract in the summer, has repeatedly fended off questions about his future at the club, saying talks will not take place until after their final game at Manchester City on 19 May.

Former Spain and Real Madrid coach Lopetegui has been linked with numerous jobs since and is thought to be keen on returning to the Premier League after guiding Wolves to safety last term, having joined them when they were bottom of the table.

He won the Europa League with Sevilla in 2020 before moving to Molineux two years later.

Wolves finished 13th under Lopetegui last season but he had become frustrated by the club's financial situation before resigning.

Moyes, meanwhile, presided over three successive European campaigns for the first time in the club’s history and last June ended the Hammers' 43-year wait for a trophy with a last-minute victory over Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final.

But many fans are critical of what they view as Moyes’ negative tactics.

GOAL: Crewe 0-1 Doncaster

The long Moyes West Ham goodbye is over - what will his legacy be?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c6pyj22z5d8o

Doncaster Rovers put themselves in pole position to reach Wembley in the League Two play-off final after sauntering to a two-goal semi-final first-leg win at Crewe.

Luke Molyneux’s superb 34th-minute left-foot strike put Rovers ahead before Harrison Biggins scored a killer second goal three minutes into the second half.

But, in reality, it was a result that went with the form book as fifth-placed Doncaster, who ended the regular campaign with a 12-game unbeaten run including 10 successive wins, proved way too good for a confidence-sapped Crewe side who won only two of their last 12 matches.

And Rovers now look big favourites to meet the winners of the weather-hit other semi-final between MK Dons and Crawley on Sunday, 19 May.

2023 – The coronation of Charles III and Camilla as King and Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms is held in Westminster Abbey, London.

An emotional Kyren Wilson claimed his first world title with a nervy 18-14 victory over Jak Jones at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

The 32-year-old led 15-10 heading into Monday's concluding session and moved to the brink of victory at 17-11.

But Welsh qualifier Jones - who had been 7-0 down - tenaciously reeled off three consecutive frames, before a pumped up Wilson shouted out and burst into tears as he sealed his victory.

"I would like to say sorry to Jak for that outburst but it does mean so much to us all. My mum and dad have remortgaged and sacrificed their whole lives to get me here," Wilson said on BBC Two.

"My brother has and my wife. The list goes on and on because it is a massive team effort."
