Good morning. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has backed Rachel Reeves to remain chancellor "for many years" to come after she was seen crying in the Commons. In the US, music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been denied bail after being cleared of the most serious charges he faced in a nearly two-month long trial. Plus, read on to find out why the world's superyachts keep getting bigger. 

Starmer has told BBC Radio 4's Political Thinking he worked "in lockstep" with Chancellor Rachel Reeves and she was "doing an excellent job as chancellor" after she was seen crying as he spoke in front of MPs in the Commons. During PMQs, the prime minister had refused to say whether Reeves would remain in her job until the next election. After the session, Reeves' spokesperson said she had been dealing with a "personal matter" and Starmer insisted her tears had "nothing to do with politics" - or this week's welfare U-turns, which potentially blow a hole in her Budget plans. 

Starmer will use a speech in London later today to launch the government's 10-year plan to "fundamentally rewire" the NHS in England, laying out how millions of patients will be treated closer to home via a new network of neighbourhood health hubs. But the Royal College of Nursing has warned the plans won't be possible without a boost to the nursing workforce.

Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been denied bail and will remain in custody after a jury convicted him of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted him of the most serious charges: racketeering and sex-trafficking.
