An incredible 52-year journey comes to an end. Following extensive consideration, BBC Sport has made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Football Focus at the end of this season. First broadcast in 1974, Football Focus is a testament to the brilliant team who have worked on it over the years and, of course, the audience. The programme has been a staple of the BBC’s football coverage for decades, providing fans with interviews, analysis and stories from across the game ahead of the weekend’s fixtures. But changing audience behaviours mean fans are now increasingly consuming football content in different ways and we need to respond appropriately as we face difficult decisions around how the licence fee is spent. Fans are accessing discussion, highlights, analysis and news through digital platforms and on-demand viewing and as viewing habits continue to evolve, it is right that BBC Sport adapts how it brings football coverage to the widest audiences across television, radio, online and to its extensive social platforms. BBC Sport boasts a strong football rights portfolio and is set to significantly expand its digital output this year growing content across BBC platforms, as well as a bold new slate of exclusive shows on YouTube. Featuring fresh formats, big personalities and more frequent, always-on content tailored for digital audiences, the expansion will bring fans closer to the game than ever before delivering more high-quality, accessible and engaging football coverage at scale. We will release further details on these plans in the coming months.

Benefit cheat Bethany Elwood, 31, pocketed £78,057 in Universal Credit by lying she was single for over four years. The mum-of-two from Parson Cross, Sheffield, kept claiming as a lone parent even after her full-time employed boyfriend moved in with her in the mid-2020s. She failed to update the DWP and continued raking in the cash until a member of the public tipped off the fraud hotline in 2024. When interviewed she initially denied it but then made a full admission. At Sheffield Magistrates’ Court she was given a 12-month prison sentence suspended for two years and ordered to repay the full £78k at just £20 a month. The judge called it a “long term, wilful fraud for a great deal of money” that defrauds every taxpayer. £20 a month......
