London students continued to have Britain’s best GCSE results as hundreds of thousands of teenagers nationwide discovered their academic fate.

Pupils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland received their results in the first year where grade marking was restored to pre-pandemic 2019 levels in all three nations.

Evening Standard chief political correspondent Rachael Burford discusses GCSE results day, student stories around the capital and government plans to address attainment gaps. 

In part two, it appears Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are headed for divorce after a second go at a relationship that first sparked over two decades ago.

JLo filed for divorce at an LA court on Tuesday, but what happens next and who gets what - it all hinges on if a prenuptial agreement was signed.

We’re joined by Evening Standard courts correspondent Tristan Kirk, who examines the case and next steps for the Hollywood stars’ legal teams.
