Teenage boy killed and second fighting for life after horror jet ski crash
EXCLUSIVE Two teenage boys involved in a horror jet ski crash that killed one and left the second fighting for life have been identified. Mitchell Irvine, 15, and friend Noah Watkins, 14, were riding jet skis in the Georges River, when they crashed near Tom Uglys bridge, at Sylvania in Sydney's south, just after 6pm on Tuesday. Emergency services rushed to the scene, where they found Noah in the water with one of his arms severed. A police officer rushed into the water and pulled him to safety before he was rushed to Sydney Children's Hospital in a critical condition. Mitchell was later found dead in the water and was unable to be revived. Police are investigating whether the boys hit an obstacle in the water while riding in the dark. Tributes have begun to flow online as devastated friends grieve Mitchell's death and send well wishes to Noah. One friend described Mitchell as the 'purest boy you could ever meet', who had 'many great friendships' with his mates. 'Rest up lad, I'm going to miss you,' another boy wrote. 'Praying for you too Noah. Love you lad.' 'LLM (long live Mitch),' a third post read. 'You will never be forgotten.' Footage has emerged of one of the jet ski crash victims riding on a jet ski in numerous posts to Instagram. In recent weeks, Noah shared several videos on Instagram of his jet ski adventures with mates. One video shows a jet ski rider blasting through a river before the vehicle ends up tangled in mangroves. Another clip shows two boys riding a boat through a waterway, driving with its bow lifted in the air. The alarm was first raised on Tuesday night when two girls on the shoreline saw the jet ski wreckage in the water and heard Noah calling out for help. It is understood Mitchell's distraught relatives were at the scene when his body was recovered from the water. Inspector Timothy Carter described the officers' actions as 'heroic'. 'The police have done their best to try and save these kids' lives,' he said. 'And it's, you know, we obviously feel great empathy towards the families.' A crime scene has been set up and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash continue.

Noah Cyrus Performs With Billy Ray Cyrus After Family Drama Is Seemingly Resolved
Noah Cyrus is keeping her family's legendary music legacy alive thanks to the release of her latest album, which she recently performed live at London's Islington Assembly Hall on July 18. The 'July' singer-songwriter was joined on stage by her famous father, Billy Ray Cyrus, who attended the show with his girlfriend, Elizabeth Hurley. Noah and Billy Ray performed their song, 'Stand Still,' and a rendition of the country crooner's track 'With You,' which she reimagined for her album. In fan-captured footage, the father-daughter duo shared a warm embrace and praised each other in front of the crowd. Noah then fixed the feathers that had fallen off her dad's signature wide-brim hat. After the show, Noah shared a sweet message in tribute to her dad, whom she credited for her musical roots. 'Thank you always to my incredibly talented band and to my father, who I love so dearly, for joining us,' she wrote, in part, alongside stunning images and clips from the show. 'We got to sing 'Stand Still' and 'With You,' which is actually a song my father wrote from his childhood bedroom and was one of the first songs he ever wrote.' She added that the 'Achy Breaky Heart' hitmaker used to serenade her with the song throughout her childhood. 'That's been a song of comfort that he's sung to me since I was a little kid and it meant so much to me to be singing it together and share that moment with one another,' she continued. 'It's always been the gift of music that's brought us together. Feeling extremely grateful for the incredible fans who were singing every word from the new record. I'm one lucky girl.' The performance comes hot off the release of Noah's sophomore album, I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me, which included her emotional lead single, 'Don't Put It All on Me,' with Fleet Foxes. The track was co-written with her brother, Braison Cyrus, and alluded to reported drama her family has faced in recent years. 'I have always been the observer in our family, and Braison wrote about how I tend to carry the weight of that on my shoulders,' the Grammy nominee wrote in a press release sent to Cosmopolitan. It seems that things are all good between the Cyruses, as Noah performed with Billy Ray and her older sis, Miley Cyrus, opened up about her connection to her parents in a May interview with The New York Times' The Interview podcast. 'My mom is like so in love with my stepdad Dom, who I also just completely adore,' Miley said of Tish Cyrus's marriage to Dom Purcell. 'And now that my dad, I see him finding happiness outside of that too, I can love them both as individuals instead of as a kind of, you know, a parental pairing.' 'At first, it's hard,' Miley said, referring to her parents' budding romances with new people. 'The little kid in you reacts before the adult in you and go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and be happy.''

Votes at 16: Yorkshire teenagers have their say on Government plans
The Government has announced plans for 16 and 17-year-olds will be allowed to vote across the UK, by the next general move is among changes to the voting system announced last week, which - subject to approval in Parliament - will form the biggest electoral shake-up since says the proposal is "only fair", while the Liberal Democrats describe it as a "no-brainer".However, the Conservatives say the plan is "hopelessly confused".But what do teenagers make of it? 'I want a say on how my taxes are spent' Noah, 16, is the treasurer of Skipton's Youth says he is "really excited" for people who will be able to vote in the next general election as a result of the proposed change."A 16-year-old can pay taxes, join the armed forces, get married with consent, and that is a lot of responsibility," he says."I am starting an apprenticeship in September. I will pay my national insurance, I will pay my tax."I want to get involved with how the country is going to evolve in the future."He says being over the age of 18 does not necessarily mean you know more about politics."You could say that anybody is not mature enough to vote," he adds."There are many adults out there who are not as well-educated as others." 'It's important we're heard' Rosie, 18, is part of a youth group in Leeds and says she would have voted in 2024 if the rules had changed says she would have done extra research to learn about the political parties."Lots of people are worried about people that are uneducated voting but I think there won't be much of a problem with that," she 17, agrees, adding: "I think it's really important for younger people to have their voice heard, in a way that isn't just protesting.""The people who would vote would be conscious of the decision they're making and how it impacts people." 'It will tackle low turnout' Anna Calvert, who lives near Skipton in North Yorkshire, missed out on voting at the 2024 general election by less than three months."I was a bit gutted that I wouldn't have a say on who would be looking after my constituency for the next five years," she now 18, is a member of the UK Youth Parliament, which has campaigned for the voting age to be lowered since its creation, 25 years ago."The group chats were all going mental when the plans was announced," she said."We were just all so surprised."She is hoping that politicians will focus more on issues that matter to young people during the next election campaign, as she says the generation currently feels "ignored".Anna believes that engaging young people in politics will also help to tackle low voter turnout."If you start getting people interested in politics young, you'll have voters for life." 'We need to be informed' Will, 15, York's member of the UK Youth Parliament, believes 16-year-olds are "mature enough, but possibly not informed enough" to he says that is not the fault of young people and he hopes education about politics will improve as a result of changes to the voting age."At the moment, people turn 18 and learn about politics online, which can be good but also can be difficult, because you can't help the spread of misinformation," he says."Or they're voting with their parents and that can lead to tribalism, and that's just not a true democracy."Young people need to be taught how to identify misinformation online in time for the next general election, he adds. 'Policies affect my future' Lucas, 16, is says he is pleased with the proposed change as "a lot of the new terms and policies affect me as a young person".However, he says he feels many people his age would not be able to make an "informed vote", because of a lack of teaching about the "current state of the UK" in Charlie, 15, says he reads the news and added: "I look at some of the parties now and then but I wouldn't look too greatly into them."Evie, 14, says a lot of young people she knows are "particularly interested" in the possibility that they will soon be able to cast their ballot."I think it's a great idea and I'm really looking forward to my first vote," she says.
