The Late Show axed after more than three decades
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on US network CBS will end in May 2026 after the upcoming broadcast season, the network says. The show is ending and Colbert will not be replaced, CBS executives say. "This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount," the executives said in a statement. CBS parent company Paramount is seeking approval from the US Federal Communications Commission for a $US8.4 billion ($A13 billion) merger with Skydance Media. Paramount in July agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by US President Donald Trump over an interview with former vice president Kamala Harris, his Democratic challenger in the 2024 presidential race, that CBS program 60 Minutes broadcast in October. Colbert, a frequent critic of Trump on his show, told his audience on Thursday, US time, that he had been informed of the show's cancellation the night before. Senator Adam Schiff of California, a Democrat, was a guest during Thursday's show. "If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better," Schiff wrote on social media platform X. The Late Show first aired in 1993 with host David Letterman.

Wannabe fraudster, 33, who tried to claim £74,000 after lorry smashed into his Porsche is caught out... because dashcam snapped him 'hiding in bushes'
A wannabe fraudster's £74,000 claim has been foiled after footage shows he was not inside his luxury Porsche when it was hit by a lorry - but instead seemingly hiding in the bushes. Terell Brooks, a 33-year-old account manager from Romford, claimed he was sat in the £81,000 car at the time of impact and suffered injuries as a result. However, dashcam footage shows Mr Brooks had parked his Porsche 911 Carrera GTS on the edge of the road on the A13 in Essex on August 19, 2022, when a lorry collided with the vehicle. His claim included £63,435 for alleged damage to the Porsche, £5,000 for personal injury, £2,400 for medical treatment, and a further £3,374 for loss of earnings. But the dashcam footage from the lorry revealed a different story. The video clearly shows the Porsche parked and unoccupied, with Mr Brooks visible several metres away in bushes behind a roadside barrier. It is unclear why he had exited the vehicle, but the footage confirmed he was not inside at the time of the incident. After the footage was put to Mr Brooks' solicitors, they withdrew from the case. Clyde & Co, representing AXA UK who insured the lorry, filed an Amended Defence stating the claim was 'founded on a false premise'. They asserted that both Mr Brooks and an alleged passenger knowingly gave false accounts to insurers, legal representatives, and medical professionals. Mr Brooks subsequently discontinued his claim and agreed to pay AXA's legal costs of £4,000. He signed a Tomlin Order formally admitting his claim was dishonest, confirming he was not in the vehicle at the time of the collision. Deborah Talbot, AXA claims operations manager, said: 'This case highlights how technology is helping us to fight claims fraud. 'The dashcam footage provided clear evidence that Mr Brooks wasn't in the car at the time of the collision, avoiding a potentially costly and lengthy court hearing.' Damian Rourke, partner at Clyde & Co, added: 'Mr Brooks claimed he was sitting in his Porsche, belted up and injured. 'The dashcam showed him in the bushes. 'We still don't know what he was doing there – but we do know he wasn't in the car. His story fell apart the moment the truth came to light. 'In every sense, the claim was caught short.'

Pensioner drives scooter down A-road after ‘following satnav'
A pensioner drove a mobility scooter down a three-lane A-road at night after 'following his satnav'. The man was filmed travelling slowly along the edge of the 70mph A13 near Dagenham, east London, on Monday evening as passing lorries and cars slowed to avoid him. He was pulled over by a fire engine and questioned by police before being escorted on to local roads. One onlooker said the man was 'following his satnav' in dashcam footage capturing his dangerous excursion. His scooter only had small flashing lights alerting other motorists to his presence and he wore dark clothing. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'At around 9.40pm, officers were alerted to a man on a mobility scooter travelling eastbound on the A13. 'The man was escorted to safety and advised. The road has since reopened.' Mobility scooter 'evades' police In December 2024, a mobility scooter driver 'evaded' police in an 8mph chase along the A14 in Northamptonshire. Mobile phone footage showed drivers taking action to avoid the man as he rode along the major road for at least two miles. Officers were unable to catch him when he U-turned and drove off in the opposite direction against the flow of traffic. Police said the man refused to stop or engage with them, and they were forced to leave empty-handed, with a subsequent search of the area proving 'negative'. In November 2023, a learner driver also had their scooter seized after driving it on to two motorways. Lancashire Police said the vehicle had been driven at 30mph in the middle lane of the M6 and the M61. Mobility scooters are banned from dual carriageways with speed limits in excess of 50mph and are only permitted to drive at 8mph on roads and 4mph on pavements. In 2023, 16 people were killed, 90 were seriously hurt and a further 222 suffered minor injuries in incidents involving mobility scooters.
