Arsenal "failed to illustrate the risk of the investment" when the football club promoted crypto-based fan tokens, the advertising watchdog says. According to the Advertising Standards Authority a web page and a Facebook post broke the rules, arguing they were irresponsible and misleading. The breaches surround one post with the title '$AFC Fan Token: Everything you need to know' on 6 August and another on Facebook on the 12th of that month which read: '$AFC is now live' and asked fans: "What song do you want to hear when we win? Download the Socios app to get your token and vote". It felt the latter post "did not make clear the 'token' was a crypto-asset, which could only be obtained by opening an account and exchanging with another cryptocurrency which had to be purchased". It’s ruled the "ads must not appear again in the form complained about". But Arsenal, which is one of several top-tier football clubs offer fan tokens, is not happy with the ruling and points out it did provide information on the financial risks. It says it’s seeking an independent review.

A mission to find a passenger boat that sunk dramatically turned into another rescue when a helicopter with a Madagascan government minister on board crashed. Following the crash on Monday, Police Minister Serge Gelle says he swam from "7:30 last night, until 7:30 this morning", using a helicopter seat to help keep himself afloat. Exhausted after swimming to the seaside town of Mahambo the uninjured 57-year-old, who worked in the police for three decades before becoming a minister, was put on a stretcher where he said: "It's not my time to die." Two other security officials who travelled with him also survived. Mr Gelle has "always had great stamina in sport, and he's kept up this rhythm as minister, just like a 30-year-old... he has nerves of steel," police chief Zafisambatra Ravoavy says. At least 39 people died on the boat Mr Gelle sought to rescue, it has since emerged.

The prime minister’s confirmation that no new restrictions will be introduced before Christmas Day leads most of the front pages this morning. "Xmas can go ahead!" declares the Metro while the Daily Telegraph adds caution in its headline by reporting there will be "glad tidings for Christmas (but perhaps not New Year)". The position is echoed in papers such as the Daily Express which claims that while Christmas is happening, "new curbs loom". The Times also covers the threat of further restrictions before the new year but focuses on Boris Johnson urging people to take tests before seeing family over the festive period.  Read the newspaper review in full here.

Bad things come in threes so some people say, but do they? It’s doubtful. It’s more than likely down to something called apophenia - a tendency to see patterns, or meaningful connections, between random things. Psychologist Steven Pinker explains what it’s all about and why we often fall into traps of seeing things that aren’t there. Take a look.

There isn’t anything that connects this next story to the last one so you might think it’s a bit random. A brother and sister in Tanzania are wowing Bollywood fans thousands of miles away in India. Kili and Neema Paul learnt to sing in Hindi, they lip sync perfectly and their TikTok videos are proving to be hits. Find out more here.

And the final one about Big Ben is more tick tock than TikTok - if that connection works? The famous clock, which is being restored, will bong once again to welcome in the new year. Here’s the full story.
