Justice Goose confirmed the offences did not reach the legal definition of terrorism because he did not kill to further a political, religious or ideological cause.However, he told the packed courtroom that whether the "motivation was terrorism or not misses the point".

"What he did on 29 July last year has caused such shock and revulsion to the whole nation, that it must be viewed as being at the extreme level of crime", the judge said."His culpability, and the harm he caused and intended, were at the highest."Rudakubana was sentenced for three counts of murder, 10 of attempted murder, one of producing the biological toxin ricin and one of possession of an Al Qaeda training manual, an offence under the Terrorism Act.

In a statement after the hearing, Elsie's family offered their gratitude to the emergency services who responded to the incident."We are so thankful for their bravery, compassion and strength which should serve as an inspiration to everybody," they said.

The family also thanked Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, King Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales for arranging private meetings where they offered their condolences.

Earlier, the prime minister said "the thoughts of the entire nation" were with the families of Rudakubana's victims."It's also interesting to see the paper's findings that climate models likely under-estimate the changes seen so far, but even those models suggest a doubling of the volatility for a global temperature warming of 3C – now looking increasingly likely we'll reach."

The new study adds to the growing body of evidence that a warmer climate has altered the background conditions to the raging wildfires currently burning around Los Angeles.Much of the Western US including California experienced a decades-long drought that ended just two years ago.

The resulting wet conditions since then have seen the rapid growth of shrubs, grasses and trees, the perfect fuel for fires.However, last summer was very hot and was followed by dry autumn and winter season with almost no rain - downtown Los Angeles has only received 0.16 inches of rain since October, more than four inches below average.
