Ted Turner, the media mogul who launched CNN, has died, aged 87.
Ted will be remembered for his fantastic contribution to education through his famous Ted talks and for setting up the well known Turner Prize for artists. He was also the inspiration for the detective, played by Tom Hanks, in the film Turner and Hooch.
Ted is survived by his pop-icon daughter Tina Turner and his brother, British romantic painter JMW Turner.

The Russian defence ministry has dismissed 'outrageous claims' from the Centre for Strategic Studies that the Russian army has lost 1.2 million troops in the special military operation in Ukraine.
A spokesman confirmed, 'Only three Russian soldiers have died, and in each case it was their own fault. One other soldier has injured his leg after slipping in some mud, in a trap set up by saboteurs. Beyond that, everything continues to go very well indeed. As you Yankees say, we're having a blast.'
