Number 4: Dolly Parton dies: World pays tribute to legendary country music star
The world is a much less colourful place this morning after the legendary country music singer Dolly Parton died at the age of 80. One of the most iconic singer-songwriters of all time, her music touched millions of people across multiple generations during a seven-decade career. She was somewhat of a rags to rhinestones story - rising to stardom after being raised in poverty in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Trump100 co-host James Matthews is with mourners in the Smoky Mountains and has sent Cheat Sheet a voice note. Meanwhile, Sky News understands that a property belonging to the father of a teenager who died in the A66 crash was rammed shortly before the fatal collision. Finally, the Pope of course is not exactly short of followers - but he might be about to gain a few dedicated followers of fashion.

Number 5: Ukraine gives UK access to 'Avengers AI Labs' | Police arrest 12 over deadly A66 crash
Andy Burnham has been in Ukraine, where Kyiv said it will allow the UK access to its intriguingly-named “Avengers AI Labs” - something the govt calls a “goldmine of battlefield data”. Meanwhile, Cleveland Police has arrested nine men and three women - aged between 19 and 61 - as part of the investigation into the deadly A66 crash. The collision in the early hours of Saturday left two police officers and five people in another vehicle dead. Over in the states, Donald Trump is arguably providing more evidence that the war in Iran has not gone as well as he might have hoped. The US has announced a wave of sanctions on Iran it says will be an "economic D-Day" for the country. Some troubling figures have emerged in the UK after a government review found care leavers are estimated to be dying at three to four times the rate of other young people their age. Finally - have we reached "peak" Britishness? A row over whether it is OK to jump the queue at the top of Wales' highest mountain has got many people thinking we have. Anna Jones and Gareth Barlow have the day’s news in just 10 minutes.
