Ozzy Osbourne fans will see Black Sabbath star's final months in new documentary
Ozzy Osbourne's final months were captured for a new BBC documentary, his son Jack revealed before the Black Sabbath frontman's tragic death at the age of 76 The Osbournes were the pioneers for reality TV - and it's now been revealed that Ozzy Osbourne 's final months were being filmed for a new TV documentary. The Black Sabbath frontman died, aged 76, surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday morning. His wife Sharon Osbourne, 72, and four of his children issued a joint statement, which read: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Days after his death, an interview with his son Jack has resurfaced, in which he revealed his dad's final moments were filmed for a BBC TV documentary. The 10 part series, Home To Roost, originally planned to follow Ozzy and Sharon as they returned to their home in Buckinghamshire after 20 years of living in America. However, it's now said to be pivoted towards more of a tribute for the star. "Right now it'll take place over the Sabbath era and early 1980s. We're definitely going for a more adult rating for the film," Jack told the Mail's Weekend Magazine. "This is by no means going to be a fluff piece." Jack worked as co-producer on the biopic and promised all the chaos and mayhem we all know and love, as well as a focus on Ozzy and Sharon's love story, which began in the 1970s. Ozzy's youngest son Jack also confirmed that his father was working on an autobiography titled Last Rites before he died - which is expected to be released in autumn this year. Just weeks before his tragic death, Ozzy performed for the final time at his hometown in Birmingham, taking to the stage with his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park. In a day that celebrated his five decades in the industry, some of the biggest names in the industry joined together to give him the send off he deserved. At the end of the celebration, the group presented Ozzy with a cake, which featured a detailed portrait of the star to honour him and celebrate the end of their run together as a band. The band's co-founder Tony Iommi told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Wednesday: "He loved what he did, he loved music, he loved playing together, and I'm so glad we had the opportunity of getting together again to do the [farewell] show." He added:"It was brilliant being with all the guys again, and the atmosphere, and it was brilliant for Ozzy because he really wanted to do that, he felt at home there and it was good for all of us."

UK to see 6,000 porn sites verifying user age, Ofcom says
Around 6,000 sites allowing porn in the UK will start checking the age of users from Friday, according to the media regulator Melanie Dawes, its chief executive, told the BBC "we are starting to see not just words but action from the technology industry" to improve child safety told BBC Radio Four's Today programme that "no other country had pulled off" such measures, nor gained commitments from so many platforms, including Elon Musk's X, around age the BBC understands some major porn sites operating in the UK do not seem to be requiring age checks as of Friday morning. And experts remain sceptical about the effectiveness of Ofcom's age checks and how easy it may be for people, particularly children, to circumvent said on Thursday that more platforms, including Discord, X (formerly Twitter), social media app Bluesky and dating app Grindr, had agreed to bring in age regulator had already received commitments from sites such as Pornhub - the UK's most visited porn website - and social media platform to verify age on Reddit appear to have taken effect across a wide range of its individual, topic-based subreddits, such as those dedicated to discussions about Technology Secretary Peter Kyle told BBC Newsbeat the UK's new rules apply "common sense" to regulating the internet."We're very used to proving our age in lots of different areas of life at the moment, and it makes sense that we do so more assertively when it comes to online activity," he said."I think people actually think it's pretty weird that you are age checked when you want to buy a can of Monster, but you're not age checked when you access certain material online." The UK's new online safety rules, explained:What is the Online Safety Act?How could age checks for porn work in the UK?From Reddit to Pornhub: Which sites will require UK age verification? Chris Sherwood, chief executive of children's charity the NSPCC, said Friday's new rules mean services "can no longer evade their duty for protecting children".He added it was "high time for tech companies to step up" and prevent children encountering harmful content on their platforms."Children, and their parents, must not solely bear the responsibility of keeping themselves safe online," he Prof Elena Martellozzo, professor of child sexual exploitation and abuse research at the University of Edinburgh, the rules send a message to the tech industry that "child safety and child protection are not optional"."Failing to act is no longer excusable under the guise of technical complexity or business models," she added. 'More to be done' Not all believe Ofcom's rules go far enough to protect children as intended, Molly Rose Foundation, a charity founded by the family of Molly Russell - who took her own life at the age of 14 after seeing harmful content online - has said stronger legislation is needed to better protect Burrows, the charity's chief executive, said Ofcom has prioritised "the business needs of big tech over children's safety", with thresholds for requirements and estimated costs for changes falling short of what is needed to force the largest companies to take Ray-Hill, interim head of the Internet Watch Foundation, meanwhile welcomed the new rules for sites allowing porn but said "there is still more to be done".He said platform operators should be considering how to make them safer by design and "doing everything they can to make sure we are building an internet that is safe for everyone".Others have have expressed concern that people may seek ways to circumvent so-called age gates on porn sites - potentially pushing them towards less regulated spaces with more dangerous and explicit sexual material."A lot of the porn out there is incredibly derogative to women and there's a lot of violence and aggression," said Reed Amber Thomas-Litman, a sex worker and educator."Of course people, not just kids or young adults, are going to mimic that."She told Newsbeat BBC providing information about porn as part of the sex education curriculum could "help young adults understand it is a fantasy, it is not reality".Age checks could also negatively impact people who do not feel comfortable sharing their identity, such as LGBTQ+ people, she said."If you have to hand over your ID, that means you have no protection where that information is going," she said."It could go to third party companies and who knows what they'll do with that information."Many of the sites which operate age verification services say they do not retain ID, videos or images required for them to carry out age checks for any longer than debate: Will the new rules for pornography sites do more harm than good?
