These are the morning headlines on Friday, August 5.

Other clips have also emerged showing the pair appearing to have sex on Bold Street and on a Merseyrail train service.

Nazi cigarettes, condoms and rare Hitler memo found in sunken Mersey U-boat

A hoard of Nazi artefacts - including the only known copy of a memo announcing the death of Adolf Hitler - have been uncovered from a U-boat on Merseyside.

Hundreds of items have now been uncovered from U-boat 534, including the incredible enigma decoded message which informs the crew of their new Führer. The U-boat forms part of Birkenhead's U-Boat Story.

The items uncovered include secret dispatches from Nazi higher-ups, a rare enigma machine and even condoms. The hoard has been under wraps for almost 80 years since U-boat 534 was sunk by the RAF off the coast of a Danish island on Saturday, May 5 1945- the same day Hitler's successor ordered the partial surrender of German forces.

The sub was raised from the seabed in 1993 and its contents were conserved, though left untouched and under wraps - until now. The artefacts only tell a partial story and the team at Big Heritage, which owns the U-Boat Story, told the ECHO about the mystery of U-boat 534, which, though based in the Baltic Sea was found filled with tropical gear such as lightweight uniforms and guides to South America.

Mum found teen son 'black and blue' in bed and bleeding from the mouth

A teenager "nearly died" several times after his horrified mum found him "black and blue" in bed and bleeding from his mouth.

James Eaton, who is now 14, lost consciousness and suffered a violent seizure at home. Mum Georgia, a 36-year-old retail worker, said she found the teenager "unresponsive" in bed.

Georgia, who is also mum to Alfie, 11, said: "He was black and blue. His eyes were white, he had blood coming out of his mouth and his lips were blue. I called for an ambulance and when we arrived at the Countess of Chester Hospital a crash team was waiting outside.

"They did some tests and within half an hour, a doctor came to me and asked me to sit down. They said he had a collapsed lung, a major chest infection and sepsis. He had to go on life support. Knowing James was fighting for his life was the hardest thing to process."

James was transferred to Alder Hey Children's Hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit where he stayed for the next four weeks.- But Georgia said nobody could understand why he was so poorly and it was only due to his strength that he "pulled through time and time again".

The teenager's heart even stopped at one point after he was moved to the high dependency unit. But after months in hospital James was diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis, a rare neurological condition causing inflammation of the brain.
