Summary
Andy Burnham isn't even an MP but appears to already be pitching himself as the next prime minister - and if a latest opinion poll is anything to go by his confidence is justified.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump says he has instructed his administration to call off strikes on Iran that were scheduled for today.
However, he warned he could unleash a "full, large scale assault" on the country at a "moment's notice."
It comes as the World Health Organisation has declared the deadly outbreak of Ebola in Africa an international health emergency - but the UK is said to be facing a "low risk".
There's been a shocking development in relation to one of the country's most popular reality TV shows - with Channel 4 saying "very serious allegations of wrongdoing" have been made against a small number of past Married At First Sight UK contestants.
Finally, Arsenal's 1 - 0 victory over Burnley last night has brought them one step closer to a first Premier League title in more than 20 years.
A title triumph for Arsenal would also end Pep Guardiola's hopes of lifting a seventh Premier League trophy - as reports suggest the Sky Blues are preparing for his departure.
Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
