A man, in his 60s, admitted to drugging and raping his wife without her knowledge for over two decades. He had already pleaded guilty to various sexual offences against his wife on dates between 2022 and 2025. On Monday, he admitted similar offences dating back to 2004, including administering a substance with intent to stupefy or overpower his wife between 2004 and 2025. Twelve co-defendants all deny various allegations involving the same woman. Also on the programme: - Donald Trump criticised calls for a slowdown in the development of AI, suggesting efforts to limit the technology were part of a “SICK conspiracy” and a “hoax”. - The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, has told ITV News the huge 72 million pound double donation his party received over the weekend is completely legal. - The American actress Sydney Sweeney has come under fire for promoting a sexualised version of women in sport by posing with strategically placed sports equipment and wearing little else.
