🏥 Patients were evacuated from Aintree hospital on Wednesday after a fire broke out in the roof of a building. The blaze began in an electrical plant room above the critical care unit at around half four in the morning. The hospital trust requested people to "seek alternative treatment" for urgent care.

🚨 One of the UK's former most wanted criminals has been ordered to pay back just £22,000 of his £400k ill-gotten gains. In May, Leon Cullen, 33, was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court for 22 years and six months after admitting conspiracy to supply firearms, conspiracy to possess ammunition and conspiracy to supply cocaine.
