The film, Caste on the Menu Card, was the only film among the 35 sent to India's information and broadcasting ministry to be refused clearance. Festival director Manoj Mathews told BBC Hindi he was "disturbed and disappointed" by the decision. Ministry officials said they were "not provided with adequate information". Mr Mathews said: "There were documentaries showcased on this platform which dealt with more controversial issues than this and we have had no problem." The documentary was filmed by five students from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences. "The documentary is about how caste works in the meat industry. How it's a livelihood question for workers of the industry. We are talking about social exclusion, we are talking about caste," Atul Anand, one of the students who made the documentary, told BBC Hindi. "We are shocked and upset. We made this documentary between August and September 2014, before beef was banned in Maharashtra. "We took almost three months to make this documentary and it was sparked by a row on our campus in 2014 after some students demanded that beef and pork be banned," Mr Anand said. Mr Mathews told the Indian Express newspaper that information and broadcasting ministry officials had told him that "due to the current political situation over the beef ban issue they have not give exemption permission for this particular documentary". However ministry officials told the newspaper that they had not received "adequate information" about the film and were willing to reconsider the decision if they got the required information. In another incident, reports from the north Indian state of Haryana indicated that an editor of a state government publication was sacked because of an article that said beef was nutritious.

A documentary on beef eating habits in India has been withdrawn from a Delhi film festival for "technical" reasons, its organisers have said.

Janet Jordon, 48, her daughter Derrin, aged six, and her partner Philip Howard, 44, were found in a house in Vicarage Road, Didcot, on 23 May. The body of murder suspect, Janet's son 21-year-old Jed Allen, was found two days later in woodland near Marston Ferry Road, Oxford. The private funeral is being held at Oxford Crematorium. The families of the murder victims described their deaths as an "unimaginable" tragedy. Post-mortem examinations confirmed all three died from multiple stab wounds.

A funeral is being held for a family who were found stabbed at their home in Didcot, Oxfordshire.

Files were found after the attacks on a computer dumped in a rubbish bin, a well-placed source confirmed. The computer also included a final message from one of the airport bombers, Ibrahim el-Bakraoui. Belgian authorities have identified all 32 victims who died on 22 March. Seventeen were Belgian, and the other 15 from around the world. Another 94 people are still in hospital, and dozens of them are in intensive care. The first funeral has taken place, for Raghavendran Ganeshan, whose body was returned to the Indian city of Chennai on Tuesday. The discovery of the computer emerged the day after the Brussels attacks. It had been abandoned in a bin in Max Roos street in the Brussels area of Schaerbeek. The three suspects captured on airport CCTV had left a house on the same street by taxi and the driver had later guided police to the address, where explosive materials were found. Quoting reliable sources, De Tijd newspaper said earlier that files on the computer contained details and photos of the prime minister's building and office at 16 Rue de la Loi (Wetstraat in Dutch) as well as details of his official residence in Lambermont street. It is unclear if these were downloaded from the internet or taken by the bombers themselves. A spokesman for Mr Michel said security had been strengthened well before the attacks last week because of concerns the buildings were vulnerable. The chancellery is also next door to the US embassy and on the same street as Maelbeek metro station, where Ibrahim el-Bakraoui's brother blew himself up little over an hour after the airport attack. The computer has become a vital source for Belgian investigators searching for the third airport suspect, who is thought to have fled the airport when his suitcase did not explode. In his final message on the computer Ibrahim el-Bakraoui complained of being hunted and not feeling safe anymore. Copies of laptop hard drives linked to suspects in the Brussels attacks have been sent to the FBI, according to reports from the US. Brussels airport remained closed for flights on Wednesday, after a test involving hundreds of staff. The airport operator said no flights were planned until at least Thursday afternoon as the results of the trial were still being assessed. A temporary check-in area has been installed along with enhanced security measures. But officials say they will only resume flights when they are able to operate at 20% capacity, Chief executive Arnaud Feist has said it will take months to reopen fully, as the departures hall will have to be rebuilt "from the air conditioning to the check-in desks". Several airlines have diverted flights to Liege, Antwerp Ostend and Charleroi. However, Brussels Airlines is running only 40% of its flights and says it is losing €5m a day because of the closure of Brussels airport. In a separate development, an open letter written by police at the airport has been published by Belgian broadcaster VRT, in which they express frustration and say security was not taken seriously enough. They complain of a shortage of staff and say the airport's "open infrastructure" meant that trains, buses and cars were able to approach and leave the airport without any control.

Jihadist bombers who attacked Brussels airport and metro last week also collected building plans and photos of Prime Minister Charles Michel's office and home, the BBC has learned.

The world number two is 18 years, four months and 20 days old. The previous record was held by American Morgan Pressel, who was 18 years, 10 months and nine days old when she won the Kraft Nabisco in 2007. Ko shot eight birdies in a final round of 63 to finish on 16 under par, with American Lexi Thompson on 10 under. In February, aged 17, Ko became the youngest player to reach the top of the rankings and she also holds the record as the youngest winner on the LPGA Tour after her Canadian Open victory as a 15-year-old amateur in 2012. It was Ko's last opportunity to beat the age record as she would have been too old by the next major, the ANA Inspiration, in April. "It has been such an unbelievable experience," Ko told Sky Sports. "Now everybody won't ask me when I will win my first major because it is done. "It is definitely one of the top rounds of my whole life." Ko had started the day in third place, two shots behind overnight leader Lee Mi-hyang of South Korea. Tournament organisers decide to use split tees, using the first and the 10th, due to the threat of thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon. Lee's challenge faded and she finished tied for fourth place, nine shots behind Ko, after carding a three over par 74. England's Charley Hull was six over for the day and finished tied for 38th place, while Republic of Ireland amateur Leona Maguire was tied for 34th.

New Zealand's Lydia Ko has become the youngest winner of a major with a six-stroke victory at the Evian Championship in France on Sunday.

Chris Dent's 100 off 111 balls was the backbone of Gloucestershire's total of 260 all out. In reply, an 87-run fourth-wicket stand between Johann Myburgh (81) and James Hildreth (48) had the hosts on course until six wickets went down for 32. But Jamie Overton put on 65 for the last wicket with Tim Groenewald as Somerset claimed victory on 263-9. Overton made 40 and Groenewald hit 34 in an unbroken stand of 65 off 49 balls, the second highest 10th-wicket stand to win a one-day match in England. After the trophy holders were put into bat by their neighbours, Dent played exceptionally well whilst his teammates fell around him, reaching three figures off 107 balls before being caught at cover off Groenewald. Spinner Roelof van der Merwe starred for the home side, running out Iain Cockbain as well as dismissing Benny Howell, Tom Smith and bowled Craig Miles off the final ball of Gloucestershire's innings. The visitors reduced their local rivals to 15-2 as Adam Hose and Peter Trego fell cheaply. But they rallied well until Myburgh picked out long-off off Dent to fall for 81 and begin a middle-order implosion. Lewis Gregory was then superbly run out and Hildreth was caught and bowled by Smith in the next over as Somerset fell from 166-3 to 198-9. But, with 63 still needed to win, Overton and Groenewald refused to go down without a fight in this local derby, finding the boundary with ease. They survived one near miss when, with the hosts still needing 13 off 3.1 overs, wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick missed a golden opportunity to run out last man Groenewald.

Somerset beat One-Day Cup holders Gloucestershire by one wicket with just three balls to spare at Taunton.

The South Korean, 23, bogeyed the 18th hole to finish on 17 under alongside 26-year-old Solheim Cup player Ciganda. But Kim then birdied the par-four 18th in the play-off to seal her second LPGA title this season - after March's JTBC Founders Cup - and her fifth overall. Wales' Becky Morgan finished tied 16th, with joint first-round leader Dame Laura Davies in a share of 43rd.

Emergency teams are searching for another 15 people who are missing. Rivers burst their banks, destroying buildings and roads after more than 50cm (20in) of rain fell over a 12-hour period on parts of the south-western island of Kyushu on Wednesday. Rescuers are working through thick mud to try to reach stranded survivors. Hundreds have already been evacuated. The worst-hit areas are in Fukuoka prefecture. Announcing the revised death toll, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the region was expected to see further heavy rain on Saturday. About 12,000 police, military, firefighters and coast guard personnel have taking part in the rescue operation.

The death toll from flooding caused by recent heavy rain in southern Japan has risen to at least 15, officials say.

The Oscar-winning picture made $1.27bn (£857m) at box offices worldwide, and led to record sales of related merchandise. Frozen 2 will reunite the team behind the original feature, including director Chris Buck, writer Jennifer Lee and producer Peter Del Vecho. The studio did not name a release date. Shares in parent company Walt Disney were up by almost 4% following the news. Toy-maker Mattel, which currently owns the license to sell Frozen products, saw its shares rise by almost 5%. Last month, Disney credited the continuing success of toys based on Frozen for an "incredibly strong quarter". Net income rose 19% to $2.2bn (£1.5bn) in the three-month period, with revenues up 9% to $13.4bn - both figures better than forecast. In December, Frozen became iTunes' biggest-selling movie of all time, while the soundtrack sold more than any other album in the US in 2014. Additionally, DVD and Blu-ray sales of the animation broke the three million mark on the first day of their release.

Disney has announced it will produce a sequel to its runaway hit Frozen, which last year became the highest-grossing animated film of all time.

Sherwood took over in February with Villa in the bottom three and led the club to Premier League safety and 17th. "We gave the fans nothing to cheer about today but I promise them it will get better," Sherwood told BBC Sport. "We've stayed in the division but we have a losing mentality. We don't want to be scraping relegation next season." Villa were outclassed by Arsenal, whose victory at Wembley saw them become the most successful club in FA Cup history with a 12th title. Sherwood acknowledged his side "came up short" against the Gunners, adding that his players "need to learn how to be winners". Media playback is not supported on this device "Of course we believed we could win this but I can't make any excuses," the 46-year-old added. "It's a learning curve and we need to build a new team. "Some of the boys have already been told they won't be here next year or they can find other clubs. I want to be honest with players and don't want to be stringing experienced players along. "But it's not just new additions to the squad but also getting some of the players we do have to play in a different way, to change the mentality of a few of them." Villa captain Fabian Delph agreed Arsenal had been worthy winners and also stressed the importance of Villa finding a "winning mentality" next season. "We were up against it, we tried to dig deep but their quality shone through and we struggled," the 25-year-old said. "The manager said that we had it in us to cause an upset but we couldn't find the performance. But a few weeks ago we would have snapped your hand off to stay in the league and get to this final. Now it's important that we get a winning mentality. "We have to forget about today, some players will come through the door to strengthen us and I am sure we will get better and better."

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood promised to rid the club of its "losing mentality" after suffering a 4-0 defeat by Arsenal in the FA Cup final.

The 75-year-old, from London, admitted the abuse of 11 boys as young as eight. He denied three other offences. Denning, who was arrested in a police inquiry into the Walton Hop Disco for teenagers in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, will be sentenced on 6 October. He was part of the original line-up that launched Radio 1 in 1967, but left two years later. The prosecution said it did not intend to proceed with a trial on the three charges to which Denning had pleaded not guilty. He is currently serving a 13-year jail term for sexual assaults against 24 victims aged nine to 16 from the 1960s to 1980s. He will be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court by the same judge who jailed him for those offences in 2014. The latest offences Denning admitted included indecent assaults on men and boys and inciting boys aged under 16 and 14 to commit acts of gross indecency. The offences he denied were three counts of indecent assault. Surrey Police said the case against the former DJ formed was part of its Operation Ravine investigation into non-recent sexual offences linked to the Walton Hop Disco which ran between 1958 and 2001. Det Ch Ins Jo Hayes said: "Denning, who was looked up to and sometimes idolised by many young people, has used his status to prey on innocent children which he has now admitted to." Four of Denning's victims were in court to see him plead guilty. Det Ch Insp Hayes said: "The four boys who Denning abused had moved on with their lives and were now adult men with families and careers. Often, they had not spoken to those closest to them about their ordeal as a child and only recently, as part of this investigation, have been able to do so... "We can never go back and take away the abuse these four men suffered as boys but I hope, in some way, today's guilty plea brings some closure for them." Chris Denning rose to prominence in the 1960s on BBC television and radio. He was one of the first announcers heard on BBC Two when the channel began broadcasting in 1964 and went on to be one of the original Radio 1 DJs. Denning helped launch the careers of the Bay City Rollers and Gary Glitter, and ran his own music and video production business. He remained a well-known DJ and presenter into the early 1970s. The allegations that led to his conviction in 2014 arose after the sex abuse perpetrated by late Radio 1 DJ Jimmy Savile came to light. Denning's arrest was under the strand of the investigation into offences not connected to Savile, but the court heard he did use his fame to "entice" boys. This included taking some victims to recordings of Top of the Pops, and in other instances, introducing them to celebrities including Savile. Denning had a number of previous convictions for abusing young boys. In 1974, he was convicted of gross indecency and indecent assault but was not imprisoned. He was then jailed for 18 months in 1985 for gross indecency, and in 1988 he received a three-year sentence, this time for indecent assault and possession of indecent images. In 1996, he was handed a 10-week sentence for publishing indecent articles. He was arrested in the Czech Republic in 1997 and eventually jailed in 2000 by a Prague court for four and a half years for having sexual contact with underage teenage boys. The UK tried and failed to have Denning extradited from the Czech Republic, but in 2005 he was arrested at Heathrow Airport, having arrived from Austria. In January 2006, a British court jailed him for four years after he admitted five charges of indecent assault on boys under 16 during the 1970s and 80s. He was then extradited to Slovakia, where he was given a five-year sentence in 2008 for producing indecent images of children.

Former BBC DJ Chris Denning has pleaded guilty to 21 child sex offences committed between 1969 and 1986.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said: "The only response can be: 'yes, Mr President'." Gen Petraeus resigned as CIA director in 2012 following an extramarital affair with his biographer. It later emerged he had shared classified material with her. He served as a senior officer under Presidents Bush and Obama. He was the commander of US and Nato forces in Afghanistan, before retiring from the military to take the top position in the Central Intelligence Agency. Asked if he thought Mr Trump had the correct temperament to be the US President, he said: "It's up to Americans at this point in time not only to hope that that is the case, but if they can, endeavour to help him." He then indicated he would personally serve under Mr Trump if asked. "If you're asked, you've got to serve - put aside any reservations based on campaign rhetoric... and figure out what's best for the country," he said. "I've been in a position before where a president has turned to me in the Oval Office in a difficult moment, without any pleasantries, and said 'I'm asking you as your president and Commander in Chief to take command of the international security force in Afghanistan.' "The only response can be: 'yes, Mr President,'" he continued. A number of media outlets have linked the retired general with positions in the new administration. A report in The Guardian last week linked Gen Petraeus to the race for secretary of state, citing diplomatic sources. Mr Trump has been putting together his administration made up of friends, family, and former rivals - but several key positions, including secretary of state, remain open. General Petraeus was indirectly critical of some of Donald Trump's rhetoric during the presidential election campaign, describing the president elect's anti-Muslim comments as toxic. However, he said he had heard good things from those who have been speaking with Mr Trump since the election result. "It's interesting that those who have been talking to him have said, you know, he's very personable, very hospitable, very gracious guy, full of questions and dialogue," he said. He also suggested that Mr Trump could forge closer ties with Russia, comparing his political position to that of President Nixon's overtures to China in the 1970s. "Only Nixon could have gone to China. Anyone else would have been criticised from the right," he said. "I think that the current president would have been criticised from the right had he tried some of the kinds of outreach that, in fact, President-elect Trump may pursue." But he warned that any such outreach should be attempted "with your eyes wide open".

General David Petraeus, one of the United States' most prominent military officers, has indicated he would be willing to serve in President-elect Donald Trump's administration if asked.

The 28-year-old had another year left on his deal but is moving to France, with Racing Metro keen on the player. Prop Jerry Yanuyanutawa and flanker Tyrone Holmes are also leaving, while hooker Kevin Bryce will join Edinburgh. "These type of opportunities only come around once and I couldn't turn it down," said Nakarawa. "This is a new challenge which I'm looking forward to, but that is next season and my focus just now is trying to retain the Pro12 trophy and end my time at the club on a high. "Glasgow Warriors have helped me a lot with the coaches and backroom staff improving my game and making me stronger." Nakawara, who has played 66 games since joining Glasgow in 2013, turned in a man-of-the-match display in last season's Pro12 final, as Glasgow overpowered Munster. "Leone has attracted a lot of interest from other clubs due to the form he's been in over the last year," head coach Gregor Townsend explained. "During the World Cup a lot of clubs were interested in signing him and although we were looking to retain him, we have now agreed to let Leone leave a year early. "Right from when there was interest in him I've been fully involved with Scottish Rugby in the discussions with Leone and his agent, and the deal which was subsequently agreed has allowed us to strengthen our squad for next season. "Leone has been a fantastic player for the club and has been a pleasure to coach. He has worked hard and developed into one of the best second rows in the world during the past three years. "We are looking forward to Leone delivering similar performances as we enter a very exciting run of games at the end of this season." Glasgow, two points behind Leinster and Connacht at the top of the Pro 12, host Italian side Zebre on Friday, 29 April before concluding the regular season away to Connacht on 7 May. Bryce, whose brother Glenn is also moving from Warriors to Edinburgh next season, will switch from hooker to tight-head prop with the capital outfit. The decision evolved following last year's World Cup, when he won the last of this three Scotland caps as a replacement against the USA. "The more I thought about and discussed it, the more I thought it would be the right move," said the 27-year-old. "It's not massively different, just a matter of making a number of technical adjustments. My dad [Jock, who helped Heriot's win the Scottish club championship in 2000], made the move from flanker to loose-head during his playing days so it's not so unusual to make some sort of change." Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons added: "It is terrific news for the club. He is an abrasive, physical player who will fit in well at Edinburgh." Confirmed Glasgow departures (appearances in brackets): Duncan Weir (106), Leone Nakarawa (66), Mike Cusack (48), Taqele Naiyaravoro (20), Jerry Yanuyanutawa (46), Tyrone Holmes (34), Glenn Bryce (15), Kevin Bryce (12), Will Bordill* (7), Shalva Mamukashvili (6), Fergus Scott (3), Gregor Hunter* (2), Jason Hill* (0) and Javan Sebastian* (0). *Partnership players. Retiring: James Eddie (126), Mike Blair (12).

Glasgow Warriors have announced that influential Fiji international second row Leone Nakarawa is to leave at the end of the season.

The Premier League got under way this weekend, with many teams showing off their new signings, but who impressed and who had a debut to forget? From scoring a wonder goal to being booked after barely a minute on the pitch, BBC Sport takes a look at how some of those making their top-flight bow got on. Dimitri Payet, signed by West Ham from Marseille in the summer, created more chances than any other player in Europe's top five leagues last season and he certainly added a creative edge to the Hammers' attack in Sunday's shock 2-0 win at Arsenal. The 28-year-old took the free-kick that caught out Petr Cech and allowed Cheikhou Kouyate to head home the opener, and was a lively presence throughout. Newcastle's signing of Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum from PSV was certainly one of the more impressive captures of the summer, and the 24-year-old made a strong impression on his Premier League debut. Wijnaldum headed Newcastle ahead against Southampton on Sunday, but the hosts could not hold on as the Saints fought back to earn a 2-2 draw. There were plenty of reasons to be impressed with Swansea's performance as they held defending champions Chelsea to a 2-2 draw, and Andre Ayew was one of them. The Ghana forward showed cat-like instincts to pull a rebound from a Thibaut Courtois save to catch out John Terry, before calmly steering the ball home for one the opening weekend's best goals. The same could not be said for Andre's younger brother, however. Jordan Ayew started for Aston Villa at Premier League new boys Bournemouth, but the former Lorient striker failed to make an impression and was substituted on the hour. His replacement, Rudy Gestede, instead caught the eye as he grabbed the Villa winner. With fellow debutant Wijnaldum impressing, Aleksander Mitrovic was evidently keen to make an impression when he climbed off the bench in the 75th minute. Sadly, it was not the kind of impression he would have liked as, less than a minute after coming on, he was booked for a foul on Matt Targett. Youthful naivety from the 20-year-old. Exciting, fast and skilful. Memphis Depay certainly looked like a signing that will get Manchester United fans on their feet, but what his Premier League debut performance lacked was a goal threat. The 21-year-old Netherlands winger had a couple of half chances, but never really looked like troubling Michel Vorm in the Tottenham goal during Saturday's 1-0 win for Louis van Gaal's side.

New season, new faces.

The Greens pledged to end "period poverty" by providing towels and tampons to secondary school pupils and women in financial need. A 5% tax on sanitary products has caused controversy and 320,000 people have signed a petition to abolish it. The pledge may be funded by a tax on airship sales and aircraft repairs. Sanitary products are not exempt from VAT, as some medical products are. Campaigns to end the tax on them have taken place in countries across the globe. In the UK, a further row broke out in April when it was revealed some of the money raised from the tax and promised by the government to women's charities had been given to an anti-abortion group. Of the £12m given to 70 UK charities, £250,000 had gone to Life. Green MEP Molly Scott Cato, who has pressed in the European Parliament for a VAT exemption on tampons, towels and mooncups, said it was an "outrage those on low incomes are forced to use socks or newspapers during their period because they can't afford a sanitary product". Children in secondary school from low-income backgrounds were routinely missing days at school, she said. The Green Party said it wanted to work with health companies to provide the free products. It will look at funding them by taxing other products and services such as air craft repairs and maintenance and airship sales.

Free sanitary products for those who cannot afford them have been promised by the Green Party of England and Wales.

The 19-year-old produced a spell of 5-3 in 19 balls as six Glamorgan wickets fell in the last 13 overs of day one. Ben Cox's aggressive 93 off 99 balls was the mainstay of the home innings, while Ed Barnard (60) and Tongue (41) led the lower-order resistance. Timm van der Gugten, with 4-66, was the pick of the Glamorgan attack. Worcestershire counter-attacked hard from their poor start as Cox, having come in on a hat-trick on 14-3, hit 15 fours before being brilliantly caught by Andrew Salter within sight of his century. After two double century opening stands in three matches, this time both Worcestershire openers were back in the pavilion inside eight overs, Daryl Mitchell, who had scored 534 runs in his previous five innings, going for a third-ball duck. Netherlands seamer van der Gugten claimed four of the first six wickets to fall in an accurate display, including Tom Fell and Brett D'Oliveira in successive balls. But, in only his sixth Championship game, Tongue outshone everyone. He improved his best with both bat and ball, aided by some superb slip catching in the dramatic closing overs as only Jacques Rudolph (49 not out) reached double figures. Worcestershire's Ben Cox told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "It was an edgy start, going in at 14-3, and I wasn't backing myself. But, on a wicket like that, it sometimes suits my game to go out and try and put the pressure back on them. "Fortunately my edges didn't go to hand. And iIt was a good catch (to get me out), but it's 93 from a position where we were really struggling and we're in a good position now. "We couldn't be happier after that spell from Tonguey. That's one of the best spells I've kept to. We said it down at Glamorgan that there's going to be times that he has those spells, he clicks and hits the zone." Glamorgan's Jacques Rudolph told BBC Wales Sport: "First and foremost it was a great spell of bowling (by Tongue), it's one of those spells where Joe (Clarke) took a brilliant one-handed catch, the keeper (Cox) took a brilliant one-handed catch and it's obviously not ideal to be in this position because it's quite a good wicket. "Coming back, we've got to have a strong mind-set and when we bowl again. we probably gave 20 to 30 runs too many, but there's still plenty of time left in the game. "If your mind-set's good on this wicket, it gives you opportunities to score, Cox almost got a hundred by playing really positively."

Worcestershire's teenage seamer Josh Tongue tore Glamorgan apart with five wickets as they fell to 76-6 in reply to the hosts' 267 all out at New Road.

The airline had suffered years of financial losses even before it was hit by two major disasters in 2014. Flight MH370 disappeared on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and is still missing, while MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine. Mr Mueller said he was leaving due to "changing personal circumstance." He took up his role in May 2015 to oversee a $1.56bn (£1.1bn) turnaround plan which included massive job cuts and dropping unprofitable destinations. "We are very disappointed to lose Christoph as CEO but we fully understand his reasons and respect his need to do this," Malaysian Airlines Chairman Md Nor Yusof said. Mr Mueller will continue to serve until September 2016 and will stay on the board as a non-executive director. The carrier has already begun to look for a new chief executive and says it is considering both internal and external candidates. It said that Mueller had set up a strong management team which would be the foundation for a successful turnaround.

Malaysian Airlines chief executive Christoph Mueller has resigned after less than one year of leading the carrier's reorganising efforts.

Sea Watch said men from the speedboat boarded the dinghy and beat migrants with sticks, causing a "mass panic". At least four of the 150 people on board the dinghy fell into the water and drowned, Sea Watch said. A spokesman for Libya's naval forces in Tripoli said he had not heard about the incident. The motive for the attack was not clear, but Ruben Neugebauer, a spokesman for Sea Watch, said the attackers were attempting to steal the dinghy's engine. Mr Neugebauer said that 25 people remained missing. Sea Watch, a German organisation, said in a statement: "The violent intervention of the Libyan Coast Guard caused a situation of mass panic on board the rubber boat in distress. "One tube of the rubber boat collapsed, causing the majority of the 150 people to slip into the water." About 120 people were rescued and brought aboard the Sea Watch 2 ship. Four were unconscious and receiving treatment. Italy's coast guard confirmed that Sea Watch had been involved in some of the nine rescue operations taking place on Friday. Both the Libyan and Italian coast guards said they had received no information about the attack yet. Italy has taken in more than 146,000 boat migrants so far this year and is on track to see more arrivals than last year, when 153,000 arrived. In August, the Doctors Without Borders humanitarian group, which operates rescue ships off the coast of Libya, said it was attacked by armed men on a Libyan navy boat. The Libyan navy said it thought the vessel was involved in people smuggling.

At least four migrants have died after a speedboat labelled "Libyan Coast Guard" attacked a dinghy, according to a migrant rescue organisation.

The devices are fitted with small mobile sites that include a base station and an antenna. They could also be used to connect remote parts of the UK where coverage is thin. EE said it planned to deploy such a network in a UK rural area this year. The drones can stay airborne for up to an hour at a time and the "helikite" balloons for several weeks as they have a tethered power source. The drone was designed to give short-term targeted coverage to aid search and rescue situations, EE said. "Innovation is essential for us to go further than we've ever gone, and deliver a network that's more reliable than ever before," said EE chief executive Marc Allera. "Rural parts of the UK provide more challenges to mobile coverage than anywhere else, so we have to work harder there - developing these technologies will ultimately help our customers, even in the most hard to reach areas." It was the first time this had been tried out in the UK, said Kester Mann, analyst at CCS Insight. "Everyone immediately thinks of disruptive players like Facebook and Google when it come to things like balloon-based networks. The traditional networks need to step up so they don't get left behind," he told the BBC. Google is developing a network of huge balloons to provide connectivity to rural areas around the world, known as Project Loon. Last month the tech giant confirmed it had closed its internet drone project, Titan, which was designed to bring the internet to remote rural areas. Facebook's Project Aquila involves building solar-powered aircraft which will fly for months at a time above remote places, beaming down an internet connection.

Mobile phone provider EE has demonstrated helium balloons and drones that could provide 4G mobile coverage following damage to existing infrastructure.

The victim was fatally injured outside a property on Daniel Hill Terrace, Upperthorpe, close to the city centre. People living in the area said the man was either in, or close to, a black Mercedes car he had been driving when he was shot. Officers, called to the scene at about 13:35 GMT, found the man with a gunshot wound to his chest. Armed police sealed off the area. The victim was taken to Northern General hospital but died from his injuries. Local residents said the man was a member of a family who live close to the scene of the shooting. They said relatives had been gathering for a family celebration when the attack occurred. Many came out of the house to try to help him after hearing the shot, neighbours said. There have been a number of shootings in Sheffield in recent weeks, although all the previous incidents have been in the north of the city and not close to the Upperthorpe area. On Monday, a 25-year-old man was seriously injured when he was shot in the street in the Shiregreen area. Earlier this month, an elderly couple were left shocked when shots were fired through their living room window in the Southey Green area - an incident police believe was a case of mistaken identity. In January shots were fired at houses in two separate incidents in the same street in High Green.

A 23-year-old man has died after being shot in a Sheffield street.

When Claire was told she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair after a spinal injury, she wanted to get back on her feet as quickly as possible and regain her independence. For the past three months she has been training intensively for the marathon using a robotic walking suit to prove she is just as determined as in her sporting days. When Claire sets out with participants on Sunday she knows that most will aim to finish in hours. For her, it will take about three weeks. A former event-rider who had competed at the highest level, Claire thought that the Burghley Horse trials, a four-star horse-riding event for top-class riders in Stamford, Lincolnshire, would be her greatest test. "I didn't think I'd ever get to that level. But the marathon is a bigger challenge. I was wrong." In the beginning she could only take two steps. Just a few weeks ago, she could only walk 30, making the marathon a near impossible feat. But Claire's sporting background has provided her with the resilience she needs to keep going. Following gruelling training sessions three times a week at a Yorkshire clinic, she can now cover longer distances of up to a mile in one session. It takes at least two-and-a-half hours for her to complete a mile but she hopes to improve her speed as the weeks pass, staying in a hotel at night-time and starting afresh every morning from the point where she left off the night before. In 2006, Claire's horse Rolled Oats clipped his shoulder, flinging her from the saddle into a nearby tree. The fall broke her neck, back and ribs and left her paralysed from the chest down. Claire first saw the "robot legs", or ReWalk bionic walking device, while researching her condition on the internet. She jokingly likens the device to Wallace and Gromit's "wrong trousers", and with the help of her friends and family raised the £43,000 necessary to get them. But walking in "techno trousers" is not as quite as easy as in the Nick Park animation - while the "wrong trousers" walk on their own, Claire's require patience, perseverance and intense effort. She says: "Not feeling my body makes it so hard. I don't know what my feet are doing." Claire relies on motion sensors to help her move and lift her legs and one of the most difficult things for her has been simply learning to stand on two feet again. "To start with I just had to find my balance without wobbling." The London marathon is not the only race Claire is competing in, as she and her one-year-old daughter, Maisie, are battling it out to see who will be the first to walk unaided. "We've had this competition all along so we'll see. She can do 10 steps on her own now. I'm as wobbly as her." Claire hopes to raise more than £50,000 for Spinal Research, a charity which funds medical research to develop treatments for paralysis. Former rugby player Matt Hampson, who was paralysed after a rugby accident, will provide moral support for part of her marathon journey, as will retired tennis player Tim Henman and former champion British equestrian Lucinda Green. "There's a lot of people who are worse off than me and haven't got the support I've got, so I want to raise as much as I can." But, when the marathon is over, Claire thinks that for the first time in six years, she will be delighted to return to her wheelchair.

Six years ago, professional horse-rider Claire Lomas was told that she would never walk again but now she is attempting to walk more than 26 miles (42km) at Sunday's London Marathon thanks to a pair of "robot legs", which have transformed her life.

Dr Christopher Davies, who works for the the Royal Berkshire Hospital, said a matron later purchased the item for £22.95 from Homebase instead. Dr Davies, a respiratory consultant, said it was then fitted for free by in-house staff. A hospital spokesperson said the quote was reviewed and "firmly rejected". Dr Davies said the blackout blind "must have been gold plated" to warrant such a price, the Mail on Sunday reported. He wrote: "So many posts about inadequate funding but here's an example of how the money is used... maybe it's not just about poor funding." In a statement issued to the BBC, the hospital said: "In line with NHS requirements, the trust sought quotes for a blind which meets fire and infection control regulations. "This particular quotation was reviewed by the management team and firmly rejected." NHS England has been approached for comment and said it was looking into the situation.

A senior doctor has spoken out after his hospital was quoted £855.80 for a blackout blind by its official NHS contractor.

Lance Naik (Corporal) Hanamanthappa Koppad was tapped under 8m of snow at a height of nearly 6,000m along with nine other soldiers who all died. Their bodies have now been recovered. The critically ill soldier has been airlifted to a hospital in Delhi. "We hope the miracle continues. Pray with us," an army statement said. The army added that "he has been placed on a ventilator to protect his airway and lungs in view of his comatose state". "He is expected to have a stormy course in the next 24 to 48 hours due to the complications caused by re-warming and establishment of blood flow to the cold parts of the body," the army said. The avalanche hit a military post on the northern side of the glacier. Senior military officials said at the time there was little chance of finding any of the soldiers alive after the incident last Wednesday. Siachen is patrolled by troops from both India and Pakistan, who dispute the region's sovereignty. It is known as the world's highest battlefield. Four Indian soldiers were killed by an avalanche in the same area last month. The soldiers were on duty at an army post on the glacier at an altitude of 5,900m (19,350ft) when the avalanche struck. Specialist army and air force teams immediately began searching for the missing soldiers close to the Line of Control that divides Indian and Pakistani-administered Kashmir. The chances of any soldiers being found alive were so slim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi even offered condolences in a message on Twitter last week. Avalanches and landslides are commonplace in the area during winter where temperatures can drop to -60C. More soldiers have died from harsh weather on the glacier than in combat since India seized control of it in 1984. Soldiers have been deployed at heights of up to 6,700m (22,000ft) above sea level. The neighbours have failed to demilitarise the Siachen glacier despite several rounds of peace talks.

An Indian soldier who was buried in an avalanche that struck the Siachen glacier in Indian-administered Kashmir six days ago has been found alive.

Ex-Bank of England deputy governor Sir Charlie Bean is reviewing how official statistics are collected, and his initial findings are due on Wednesday. The PCS union said it would "strongly oppose" transferring work or jobs from Newport, where 2,000 staff are based The ONS said it was not "helpful" to speculate on the report's findings. The ONS transferred hundreds of jobs from London to Newport in the late 2000s. PCS union representative Gez Kirby said: "There's some anxiety obviously." He told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme: "We believe we produce high quality economic statistics and we don't want to see any of our work or our jobs move out of Newport." Mr Kirby added: "We welcome any recommendation coming from the Bean Review, to increase the economic expertise in London, because they can liaise with the Treasury, the Bank of England, that makes sense. "We would not welcome, and we would strongly oppose any proposal to transfer work or jobs from Newport." Sir Charlie has previously said the ONS is "maybe not quite such a strong performer" as it once was. However, more recently, he also said Newport could become a centre of expertise in the field of statistics. An ONS spokesperson said: "ONS has welcomed the Bean Review as a good opportunity to review our systems and processes for measuring the changing UK economy." "As the interim report of the review is due to be published shortly, it would not be helpful to speculate about its content. "We look forward to reading its recommendations when it is published." Sunday Politics Wales can be seen on BBC One Wales at 11:00 GMT on 29 November.

Office for National Statistics (ONS) staff in Newport are anxious that a government review will lead to jobs leaving south Wales, a union has said.

The Reid Building sits facing Rennie Mackintosh's famous 1909 landmark. Designed by US architect Steven Holl, the new £30m building - which is part of a £50m project - replaces a 1970s concrete tower block. It will bring the departments of design together under one roof, along with a new lecture theatre, workshops, canteen and staff offices. Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a 28-year-old junior draughtsman at a Glasgow architecture firm when he drew up the designs for the building that many consider his masterpiece. The dramatic art nouveau design of the Glasgow School of Art building in the Garnethill area of the city centre took another 12 years to be completed, finally opening in 1909, but it heralded the birth of a new style in 20th Century European architecture. It is now considered one of Scotland's most admired and influential buildings and Mackintosh, under-appreciated in his own time, is lauded as one of the country's finest designers. The task of designing a 21st Century building to sit on the opposite side of Renfrew Street to Rennie Mackintosh's masterpiece went to Steven Holl, along with local practice JM Architects. Its design has proved controversial, with The Architectural Heritage Society for Scotland branding it "alien" and questioning the "use of large unrelieved stretches of grey opaque glass". New York-based Holl, 66, won the 2010 competition to design new 11,000 sq ft accommodation for the art school's design department. The building, which will house about 800 students, is named in honour of the art school's former director, Seona Reid. It extends for the same length as its illustrious neighbour, so the temptation to compare them is very great. Holl has described his approach as "complementary contrast". He said he wanted to do the opposite of everything Mackintosh did. Whereas Mackintosh has thick sandstone, Holl has developed a thin skin entirely of glass, which he hopes will pick up the light. Mackintosh worked with detail and ornament and Holl uses modern techniques of glass-making. Inside studios and social spaces have large areas of unobstructed window. As well as that, translucent glass has been extended over all external walls and forms a second layer to a number of windows. Famous Glasgow School of Art graduates includes Dr Who actor Peter Capaldi and Harry Potter actor Robbie Coltrane, as well as novelist and muralist Alasdair Gray. Artist Peter Howson and Scotland's national poet Liz Lochhead attended the school as well as Fran Healy and Dougie Payne from Glasgow band Travis and members of Franz Ferdinand. In recent years, Glasgow School of Art has produced many of the UK's leading contemporary artists such as Douglas Gordon and David Shrigley and three recent Turner Prize winners: Simon Starling in 2005, Richard Wright in 2009 and Martin Boyce in 2011.

The new Glasgow School of Art building is being officially opened across the road from Charles Rennie Mackintosh's masterpiece.

The procedure involves holding down the Falcon 9 on its launch pad and then igniting its Merlin engines. The test only runs for a few seconds, but it tells engineers that all nine engines at the base of the vehicle, and the sub-systems that support them, are functioning normally. If the test throws up no anomalies, the Falcon is given the green light to go ahead with its mission. Clearly, though, on this occasion, something went catastrophically wrong. The entire rocket and its satellite payload were destroyed in an explosion. Company CEO Elon Musk said the problem - whatever it was - occurred during the operation to fill the rocket with propellant, so the event happened just prior to the test ignition. Remarkably, the lightning towers surrounding the pad stayed standing in the face of the blast, and so did the erector tower that is used to feed cables and fluids to the rocket. Undoubtedly, though, Launch Complex 40 as it is known, will have suffered significant damage. Twisted and bent metal was visible to long-range cameras. But the repairs to the pad are only a part of SpaceX's immediate problems. Its launch schedule will now be put on hold, perhaps for many weeks, as engineers try to understand what happened and to correct any procedural errors and hardware failures. That is going to be a headache for SpaceX's many customers who are waiting patiently for a ride. The Amos-6 satellite that was lost in the explosion is just one spacecraft in a very long line of platforms that have contracts to fly on the Falcon. They have little option but to accept the delay; you cannot very easily swap rockets like you can swap trains. Most of the backlog is made up of commercial payloads, and every extra month these expensive satellites stay on the ground will hit their operators' revenues. Consider customers like Iridium - one of the main sat-phone providers. It was due to send up the first 10 spacecraft in its new constellation of satellites on a Falcon later this month. Iridium has big loans that need to be serviced. At Nasa, too, they will be frustrated. The agency sends cargo to the space station on Falcons, and the next freight mission was scheduled for November. More concerning however is the shadow this incident casts over the issue of human transportation. SpaceX has a contract to use its Falcon to take astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). Manned test flights were expected in the next 18 months. Is that timeline realistic now? This is the second accident involving a Falcon inside 15 months, after a vehicle broke up in flight in June 2015. The Falcon's performance will have reverberations with the US military also. SpaceX is working hard to convince the Pentagon that it has a reliable rocket system that can be entrusted with high-value national security missions. That job just got a little harder. Setbacks are inevitable in this business, however, and SpaceX has shown before that it can bounce back. Customers and commentators alike have warmed to the company and its charismatic leader, Elon Musk. They have been impressed with the new ideas that SpaceX has tried to introduce - most notably the attempt to make the Falcon cheaper by making it re-usable. Just this week we saw the Luxembourg-based satellite operator SES, one of the biggest such companies in the world, announce that it would be the first to use one of these "second-hand rockets". But it's difficult to run a routine operation and innovate at the same time. If June 2015 is any guide, SpaceX will likely park some of its future plans while it gets everyone in the company to focus on the fundamentals to get the Falcon flying again as soon as possible.

It is usual for SpaceX to do a "hot fire" test a few days before a launch.

The club will be known as Arsenal, and say they will use the 'Women' title only when "official clarity" is needed. Arsenal are the fourth top-tier side to carry the 'Women' name, with six teams using the 'Ladies' moniker. In a message on the club's website, captain Alex Scott said the name change was a "bold statement of intent, support and unity". She continued: "The term 'Women' delineates between men and women without as many stereotypes or preconceived notions and it is in keeping with modern-day thinking on equality. "We are moving forward together as a club and I hope that this sends out a message that times are changing for the better."

Women's Super League side Arsenal have dropped 'Ladies' from their name and become Arsenal Women.

Since late November, Scotland's five mountain resorts have attracted 373,782 customers. The ski season is estimated to have attracted £37.5m into the local economy. With fresh snow on the slopes, CairnGorm Mountain expects skiing during the first weekend of June. Recent figures from Ski Scotland showed that this season's figures were better than the last bumper season of 2000-2001. Chair of Ski Scotland Heather Negus said: "All winter, we realised we were heading for a great season. "We had hoped to match the figure for 2001, but didn't realise we had beaten it until recently, when everything was added up - and of course, CairnGorm Mountain is still operating, so we're still counting." It is estimated that for every pound spent on the slopes another £3 is spent in the local economy with more than £28m being spent this winter in local accommodation, cafés, bars, restaurants, shops and filling stations. Ms Negus added: "All the ski areas have been delighted to see other local businesses thriving this winter. "Everything really came together for us - we had lots and lots of superb snow, which kept on coming, some truly amazing overhead weather giving 'bluebird' conditions, and, because there was also snow elsewhere in the UK, people realised that the Scottish Highlands did have skiing and snow boarding to rival the best and they came here to enjoy it."

Skiing on Scotland's snow slopes looks set to continue into the summer month of June as new figures reveal the best season in 14 years.

PC Gavin Smith, who appeared on Channel 5's Police Interceptors, died from cancer aged 34 on 15 February. Mr Smith, who lived in Bishop Auckland with his wife Kezi and daughter Tilly, four, joined Durham Police in 2004. Officers formed a guard of honour to accompany his cortege from Durham Market Square to the cathedral. Insp Ed Turner of the roads policing unit said: "Gav was one of those characters who just put everybody at ease, no matter who was in his company. "The station was always a more lively place when he was there. He had one of those infectious personalities. "He would always put others before himself and right to the end he was focused on ensuring that Kezi and Tilly were OK and they would be provided for. "In Gav we have not only lost a dedicated police officer, but a true friend." He died at home surrounded by his family. At the time, his widow Kezi said: "It has been a real comfort to both me and Tilly that he was so well regarded by so many. "We will both miss him so very much."

The funeral of a police officer who appeared in a TV documentary series has been held at Durham Cathedral.

It is believed the man was locked out of his flat on King Street when he became stuck 3m (10ft) up on the railings. Fire and ambulance crews lifted him off the fence at about 02:30 BST and he was taken to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire. Police went to the scene but officers said no crime was committed. The man is understood to have suffered a flesh wound and was given pain relief and anti-bleeding drugs. A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "The man was stuck several feet up. The railing had gone through his right thigh. "It was a difficult rescue for the emergency services because of where the man was and because of the driving rain at the time."

A man's leg was impaled as he tried to climb a spiked metal fence in Bedworth, Warwickshire.

Officials said engineers had managed to repair plants supplying about 70% of electricity users and hoped to re-connect the rest on Sunday. There were loud cheers in the capital, Dhaka, as lights came back in phases. The blackout was the country's worst since a 2007 cyclone knocked out the national grid for several hours. The authorities blamed the incident on the failure of a transmission line, which led to power plants and substations shutting down. The high-voltage transmission line runs from Baharampur in West Bengal, India, to Bheramara in Kushtia district, in south-west Bangladesh. The blackout began at about noon local time on Saturday and affected all parts of the country linked to the national grid. Dhaka's hospitals and its international airport used emergency generators to continue running but many offices were forced to send employees home. Water supplies were also badly hit as most of the pumps which lift groundwater could not function. Bangladesh began importing electricity from India in October last year.

The authorities in Bangladesh say power has been restored to most of the country after a nationwide blackout on Saturday.

When I arrive at Lord Bannside's Belfast home, I am greeted on the doorstep by his wife, Eileen, or Baroness Paisley to use her official title. She knew I was coming and quickly ushers me into one of the front rooms where her husband is waiting. He is ready for the interview but before we begin filming there is much to see. Laid out on an impressive dining table, he has placed an array of memorabilia from the Home Rule crisis. There are antiquarian books signed by his political hero, Sir Edward Carson. There are rare cartoons from the period and framed portraits. There is also an original scrap book that details the drama and intrigue of the 1914 loyalist gun-running. Then there are the weapons - two swords - one that belonged to Fred Crawford who organised the gun running and beside it sits a dummy wooden rifle that was once carried by one of Carson's volunteers. The former first minister tells me he has had it in his possession for 50 years. His display of Home Rule exhibits would not look out of place in a museum. Lord Bannside is understandably proud of his collection and each item comes with a story of how he acquired it and who gave it to them. We begin by discussing the signing of the Ulster Covenant and what it means to him a century on. He smiles, as it is clearly a subject that he has long considered and often discussed. He tells me: "It is a tremendous story" and he adds that it would "never have happened without Edward Carson". Throughout his political career Lord Bannside often compared himself to Carson, so I wanted to know if he believed he had always acted the way his hero would have behaved. For example, did he think Carson would have approved of a power-sharing government with Sinn Fein? "Yes I think he would", he tells me. He later adds that he thinks Carson would have viewed some modern day unionists badly as they are "weak on the preservation of the union". Our discussion then moves onto how the centenary of the Covenant should be marked. He hopes Saturday's parade in Belfast will pass off peacefully. He says it needs to be carefully handled, well organised and must be kept legal. I press him on whether the Orange Order should have done more to reach out to resident groups. He rejects the suggestion because he believes that the Order have done all that could be expected. He insists: "I don't think the Orange Order is aggressively opposing and hurting people." He also feels that Order does not have to go and "bend the knee" to explain its actions. He says the Loyal Orders have the right to walk past Catholic churches and play hymns provided they are not trying to "incite people". I could not end our conversation without discussing his health. Seven months after he was admitted to the Ulster Hospital with heart problems he looks healthy. I ask him how he is and he replies "very well". In what appears to be a challenge he says: "I don't look like a sick man, do I?" Although his voice is quieter, in many ways he is like the Ian Paisley of old. He still has a good line for journalists, and like his political hero Edward Carson, he insists he will always stick to his guns.

BBC NI political reporter Stephen Walker meets Lord Bannside to discuss the anniversary of the signing of the Ulster Covenant.

Judge Angela Finnerty said the woman should not have brought the child to England until a family court in Japan had resolved a dispute she was having with the her estranged husband. The judge's decision has been revealed in a written ruling. It follows a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London. No-one involved was identified. The father had asked Judge Finnerty to order his son's return to Japan under the terms of international civil legislation relating to child abduction. Judge Finnerty said the man and woman - who had worked at different universities in Japan - split in 2013 after marrying nine years ago. They had reached an agreement about sharing care of their son after mediation in Japan. The woman had then been offered a post at Cambridge and said she wanted to take the child with her. The man objected. She had flown to the UK with the boy before a court in Tokyo had ruled on the dispute. "I am satisfied that (the boy) has been retained in the United Kingdom unlawfully in breach of the father's custody rights," said Judge Finnerty.

A Cambridge University academic has been ordered to return her seven-year-old son to his father in Japan, a family court has ruled.

The Czech-born American helped Murray win Olympic gold, the US Open and Wimbledon before they parted in March. Lendl, 54, could not commit to the amount of travelling required but sees himself returning at some stage. "I've had a lot of enquiries," he told BBC Sport. "Eventually, when the time and situation are right, I enjoyed it enough that I will do it again." Lendl, a former world number one and eight-time Grand Slam champion, admitted the travelling issue was the main drawback to taking up another role. "There are so many things to coaching which I don't enjoy: the travel, the airports, being on the road for so long," he said. "I don't like doing anything in half-measures, so in order to do it properly it takes a lot of time. That's the hardest part." Tomas Berdych, the world number seven from the Czech Republic, spoke last week about his wish to work with Lendl. "I think it's something which I was thinking about, definitely," said Berdych. "I think it just needs probably the right time and timing to make it happen. Let's see. I hope for the time it's going to come up. Fingers crossed." Lendl met Murray and his team in New York a few days before the start of the US Open, in which the Briton went on to reach the quarter-finals before losing to top seed Novak Djokovic. "I think Andy needs to win some matches to get some confidence, that's the key there," said Lendl. Asked about his time with the Scot, he added: "I enjoyed it. It obviously was difficult at times in terms of travel, which I don't like doing, but I'm really glad that we got together and that Andy had the success he had. Media playback is not supported on this device "I'm very proud to be a little part of that." The success of their partnership sparked a trend in men's tennis for famous names of the past to return as coaches. Saturday's US Open semi-finals saw Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Michael Chang and Goran Ivanisevic in the four coaching corners. "I don't think that it's a coincidence, I really don't," said Lendl. "I always felt that one of the biggest attributes of Tony Roche coaching me for 10 years, what he was giving me was the knowledge of what it feels like to be on that Centre Court on Sunday afternoon. "He has done all four of them, been in all four finals. I don't care how good a coach you are, it's very difficult without having done it yourself. "It's so different walking out there on Sunday or Monday for the finals, and even the semi-finals, if you have someone you can talk to about your feelings."

Ivan Lendl says he is "proud" of his work with Andy Murray and expects to return to coaching in the future.

The 26-year-old scored 20 goals in 52 games for Bristol City, after signing from French club Angers in July 2015. The Ivory Coast international had also been the subject of interest from Derby County and Premier League side Hull. Villa had reached an agreement to sign Hull forward Abel Hernandez, but the move fell through over personal terms. Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown had previously said they would not sell Kodjia to any fellow Championship club, and that any deal would have to exceed £10m. The deal represents the largest transfer fee City have ever received for a player, surpassing the £3.5m the club sold Ade Akinbiyi to Wolves for in September 1999. Villa boss Roberto Di Matteo said he had signed a "proven goalscorer" in Kodjia, while City chief operating officer Mark Ashton said the club had retained a sell-on clause and decided to disclose the fee "due to the high-profile nature and speculation surrounding the deal". Ashton added: "We've continually told Jonathan that we don't want him to go, but recently he's made it clear that he's aware of the interest of other clubs and that he wanted to leave." Kodjia is a proven goal scorer at Championship level, a physical and competitive style of player with greater mobility than a Rudy Gestede or Libor Kozak. Whether he is quite the "world-class striker" that Villa chairman Dr Tony Xia promised via his prolific Twitter account is dubious, but he could well thrive on the sort of service Ross McCormack and Jack Grealish are capable of providing. The Villa squad was always going to need revolution rather than evolution after last season's psychologically damaging relegation - Kodjia is the latest component of a summer of change.

Aston Villa have signed Bristol City striker Jonathan Kodjia on a four-year deal, for an initial £11m that may rise to a Championship record fee of £15m.

Megan Huntsman, 40, was arrested a year ago after the bodies were found in cardboard boxes in the garage of her former house. In February she pleaded guilty to six counts of murder. A judge in the city of Provo gave her the maximum sentence of at least 30 years and up to life in prison. Police said that the babies were born between 1996 and 2006 and were suffocated or strangled by Huntsman immediately after birth. They said she put the bodies in plastic bags and packed them in boxes in the garage of her home in Pleasant Grove, about 45 miles (75km) south of Salt Lake City. She left the boxes behind when she moved out of the house and they were found by her estranged husband, Darren West, last April. A seventh baby also found there was believed to be stillborn. Police said Huntsman had been a heavy methamphetamine user and "didn't want the babies". In court papers she said she wanted to take responsibility for the deaths. Officials said Mr West was the father of the babies but he was not a suspect in the case. He and Huntsman have three other children together. In April 2014 he had just been released after serving eight years in prison for drug crimes and was retrieving some of his belongings from the house when he made the gruesome discovery. A final decision on how long Huntsman will spend behind bars will be made by a parole board. Prosecutors said that she was likely to spend the rest of her life in prison.

A woman in the US state of Utah who admitted killing six of her own newborn babies has been sentenced to up to life in prison.

The preliminary figures show that operating profit will be 6.1tn won ($5.1bn; £3.5bn) for the October to December period, from 5.29tn won a year earlier. Analysts had expected the amount to be 6.6tn won, fuelling growth concerns. Samsung products have been hit by weak demand in China and currency woes. Operating profit fell 7.5% from the previous quarter. Sales at the world's biggest maker of memory chips and smartphones also missed forecasts at 53tn won for the period. Samsung does not break down its earnings results in the preliminary report, leaving analysts to speculate on how each business division is doing. But analysts predict that the latest forecast is a sign that the tech giant will face another tough year of weaker gadget sales as the smartphone market is saturated. Samsung is facing stiff competition at the top end of the market from Apple, while cheaper Chinese rivals are gaining ground in the mid to low level range for mobile devices. On Monday, chief executive Kwon Oh-hyun had warned that the firm faced challenges on weak global economic growth prospects. Final earnings results for the quarter are due to be released at the end of January.

Samsung Electronics says its operating profit is likely to rise 15% in the fourth quarter from a year ago, missing market expectations.

TV coverage showed hundreds of empty seats at Leicester City's third-round replay against Spurs, with many home fans missing the start of the game. One supporter claimed the delays at the King Power Stadium, caused by ticketing problems, could have "turned nasty". Leicester City FC has apologised and launched an investigation. Live updates and more from Leicestershire Joe Walker, a Foxes fan, said he arrived at the ground at about 19:25 GMT and saw "thousands of people attempting to gain access". He said after 20 minutes in the queue his "print at home" ticket was rejected at the turnstile and he was told to go to the ticket office to get a new one. "We then walked towards the sub ticket office and as I questioned another steward he just laughed and said: 'You should see the queues for it'." Mr Walker eventually had a ticket printed at the main office, but described the way staff managed the situation as "a shambles". "Not one announcement had been made over the loudspeaker system," he said. "There was no organization or information coming from any of the stewards. It could have easily have turned quite nasty with the sheer amount of people." Leicester City FC said: "A significant number of supporters experienced difficulty gaining admission to the stadium, resulting in many missing the start of the match. "The club is currently investigating the cause of Wednesday night's delays as a priority, to ensure any difficulties experienced are not repeated at future home matches." Leicester lost Wednesday night's match 0-2.

Football supporters have vented their anger after crowds of them were left stranded outside a Premier League stadium during an FA Cup match.

The Senegal international, 26, joined for £9m from Lille in July 2015 and played 35 times as Villa were relegated from the Premier League last season. Other interested clubs have until the end of July to make a bid for Gueye. "If he wants to go, we are powerless," club chairman Dr Tony Xia posted on Twitter. Gueye only missed three league games for Villa in 2015-16 and scored his only goal for the club in their FA Cup fourth round win against Wycombe in January. It is believed the fee that has activated the departure clause is about £7m, with Villa bracing themselves for further offers.

Aston Villa cannot stop midfielder Idrissa Gueye leaving the club after Everton triggered a release clause in the player's contract.

Leading by 37.2 seconds heading into the last stage, the Briton narrowly missed parked cars as he went off the road with under one kilometre left. However, he managed to quickly regroup as he finished 13.8 seconds ahead of world champion Sebastien Ogier. "I'm a lucky boy. I got caught out on a bump," said Citroen driver Meeke, 37. "Certainly one way to finish a rally." Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville finished third, 45.9 seconds behind Ford's Ogier. Leading by 30.9 seconds after bossing the first two days, Meeke won Sunday's penultimate stage to extend his lead to 37.2 seconds. That left him having to negotiate the final 21.94km stage around Derramadero. The county Tyrone man's late mishap left him only seventh fastest on the final stage but it proved enough to clinch a crucial victory following his disappointing performances in the opening two events of the season. After being strongly fancied to contend for this year's title, Meeke crashed out in Monte Carlo and could only finish 12th in Sweden after another mistake. Meeke, who competed in the championship for the first time in 2011, earned his first WRC win at Rally Argentina in 2015 and took further victories in Portugal and Finland last year. The Northern Irishman's gamble of opting for hard compound tyres on Saturday's nine stages despite the threat of rain was crucial to his victory as he extended his lead to take firm control of the event.

Northern Ireland's Kris Meeke survived a late scare at Rally Mexico to clinch his fourth win in a World Rally Championship event.

Spencer Vaughan, 27, of Campbell Road, Plymouth, suffered spinal damage after hitting his head on a sand bar in Gran Canaria while on a training course. He is seeking damages from the MoD for not warning about the dangers of diving into shallow waters. Mr Justice Davis will give his ruling at a later date. Mr Vaughan, who comes from Cwmbran, South Wales, is now an incomplete tetraplegic following the accident in 2009 and gave evidence from his wheelchair at London's High Court. Mr Vaughan insisted he was "on duty" when he walked into the sea to "cool off", executing a shallow, surface dive as the waters reached waist height. Malcolm Sheehan QC, for the MoD, suggested to Mr Vaughan that he and his comrades were simply "chilling out" on the beach. "It is unrealistic to say that you were on duty because you had a free choice about how to spend your time", the barrister said. The QC referred him to "other accounts" which suggested that he "ran into the water and then carried out a Baywatch-style dive". Mr Vaughan agreed that he and his fellow marines were "relaxing and chilling out", but said their primary purpose was to exercise and to swim. Mr Vaughan said he had walked carefully into the water to avoid a young family in front of him. Mr Sheehan said he had "every sympathy" for Mr Vaughan's plight, but added: "On the facts of this case there is no basis for a finding of negligence on the part of the MoD." Mr Justice William Davis has now reserved his judgment on the case and will give his ruling at a later date.

A Royal Marine who is suing the Ministry of Defence for up to £8m, has denied that he broke his neck performing a "Baywatch-style" dive.

The rare mineral, only found beneath Treak Cliff Hill, near Castleton in the Peak District, is so called because of its distinctive colour. The new vein has been named the Ridley Vein after Gary Ridley, the miner who found it after attempting a new mining method with a stone chainsaw. He said he could not "believe his eyes" when he came across the Blue John. The stone was fashionable during the Regency period in the early 1800s and is displayed at Buckingham Palace and Chatsworth House. Mr Ridley, who manages Treak Cliff Cavern, said he tried out the new saw near the tourist route. "Having spotted a small amount of crystallisation near the handrail it was just an easy and convenient place to see how well the saw would cut... "I couldn't believe my eyes when within a few minutes I had uncovered a substantial deposit of Blue John unlike any other vein I had ever seen before." Vicky Turner, whose family have owned and managed Treak Cliff Cavern since the 1940s, said the Ridley Vein has "swirling patterns of purple and blue" and will be made into decorative bowls and other pieces. Each vein has its own colour and banding of blue, purple, yellow and white. Historically, there have been 14 distinct veins of Blue John including Millers Vein, Treak Cliff Blue Vein, 5 Vein, 12 Vein and Old Tor Vein. The Ridley Vein has now entered the record books as variant number 15.

A vein of Blue John stone has been found in Derbyshire, 150 years after the last discovery.

The council has launched an appeal to raise £150,000 for a bronze sculpture in the Barkers Pool area. Former steelworker Kathleen Roberts said: "It breaks my heart that we haven't been recognised and everyone else has been." The planned sculpture has been designed by artist Martin Jennings. Mrs Roberts said: "Times were tough in 1941, as a country we had our backs against the wall. We worked flat out for the war effort and we were just young girls. "I think the Sheffield industry could give more because they give so freely to others." Sheffield City Council put up a commemorative plaque to the women in 2011, while plans for the sculpture were already under way. Leader of Sheffield City Council, Julie Dore, said: "We all owe it to these amazing women to make the statue a reality."

A woman who "gave up her youth" to work in Sheffield's steel factories during World War II has said the city's "women of steel" need proper recognition.

Thomas Baker, known as Tommy, was found badly injured at Stanley Meat Market in the Old Swan area of Liverpool on 27 January. The 44-year-old, from Everton, had been shot in the head and chest. He died later in hospital. The three Liverpool men arrested - two aged 29 and the other 32 - remain in police custody for questioning. Merseyside Police said Mr Baker had left Phoenix Gym at the market shortly before he was shot while getting into his car. Detectives believe those involved in the shooting had been waiting outside the gym for about an hour. Det Ch Insp Bev Hyland said officers were still searching for a silver VW polo, which "left the scene at speed" and travelled along a number of roads including Balmoral Road, Molyneux Road and Queens Road. She added that a number of people captured on CCTV near the meat market had yet to come forward and while "they may not think what they saw would be of any significance, they could have information which is key to our inquiries".

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder over the shooting of a man at a meat market.

A person claiming to be in a vehicle on the A414 at North Weald, Essex, called police at 08:30 BST on Wednesday to say it had earlier been in Ashford in Kent. The lorry was found by Bedfordshire Police at Toddington Services, on the M1, in the afternoon. Six people are being held in custody. Supt Trevor Roe, from Essex Police, said it was a "positive outcome". "We've seen with human trafficking....the events could turn out to be very tragic so I think it was important we reacted fairly quickly across our neighbouring forces to try to locate the vehicle," he said.

Four suspected illegal immigrants are on the run after a lorry containing ten people was discovered by police following a "distress" call from one of the people inside.

Anna O'Flanagan, Katie Mullan and Zoe Wilson netted the goals for the Irish who had beaten Wales in the semi-finals. Ireland now turn their focus to World League 3 and the Eurohockey Championships this summer. "We have had an incredible experience and have grown and learnt a lot as a group," said coach Graham Shaw. "This is our first competitive tournament in 18 months and we are very proud of the team and the level of performance. "We will use this tournament as a benchmark going forward. Our number one goal is to qualify for the World Cup and finish as high as possible at the Europeans in August."

Ireland have won the hockey World League Round Two in Kuala Lumpur by beating Malaysia 3-0 in Sunday's final.

Janice Farman, originally from Clydebank, was killed at her home in front of her son earlier this month. Three men have appeared in court in connection with her murder. Her parents said they heard about her death through social media and cannot attend her funeral due to ill health. Alexander and Doreen Farman, from Clydebank, said their daughter's death had left a "huge void" in their lives. The men accused of involvement in Ms Farman's murder are Anish Soneea, 18, Ravish Rao Fakhoo and Kamlesh Mansingh, both 25. Last week, they returned to the crime scene as part of the police investigation and took part in a reconstruction of alleged events. It had previously been reported that Ms Farman's mother had gone to Mauritius following her daughter's death. However, in the letter, her parents said they were unable to travel to the Indian Ocean island due to serious health issues. They said: "We are both unable to travel to Mauritius and wish to thank all our friends there for assisting us with funeral arrangements for which we are very grateful. "We are confident that you will give Janice the send off which she richly deserves. "We feel humbled by the outpouring of love and support we have received from her friends." The BBC's World Service correspondent in Mauritius, Yasine Mohabuth, obtained a copy of the letter. It went on: "To us, Janice was an outstanding daughter, a devoted mother and a fiercely loyal friend." "We are sure that she will be remembered by many both in Scotland and in Mauritius for the love and care which she extended to people and abandoned and injured animals. These memories we will cherish forever." Ms Farman's parents said they learned of her death via social media and had still not received any official contact from the Mauritian authorities. They added: "The shock and pain of all this will haunt us all our days. "We try to cope by remembering all the good deeds she did throughout her life. The love she shared with so many and her jovial fun loving nature. Janice has left a huge void in our lives." Ms Farman first visited Mauritius in 1999 and later went to live in the country after her first husband went there to work. She had been working as the managing director of PECS (Mauritius) Ltd, a privately-owned group of companies providing data services. She had recently moved to Albion, in the west of the island.

The parents of a Scottish woman murdered in Mauritius have written a letter to her friends and colleagues there, thanking them for the love they had shown to their daughter.

Border Force officers found 19 Albanians and one Syrian hidden in a trailer carrying machinery at North Shields ferry terminal in 2015. The HGV driver, Marek Niedzwiecki, 33, was jailed for five years at Newcastle Crown Court. Accomplices Ferdinand Gjolla and Armando Mekolli were jailed for eight and three years respectively. All three were found guilty of conspiring to facilitate unlawful entry into the UK following a 13-day trial. The Home Office said officers inspected Polish national Niedzwiecki's lorry when it arrived from Ijmuiden, Holland, on 1 September 2015. Their investigation led them to the home in Redhill Avenue, Barnsley, of Albanian national Gjolla, 41. The Home Office said Gjolla was the main organiser while Niedzwiecki, an HGV driver, was responsible for transporting the people into the UK, and Mekolli, 30, assisted Gjolla with the transportation of them once they arrived in the UK. Rachael Luther, from the Immigration Enforcement Criminal Investigations team, said: "This was a well-run organised crime group motivated by money. "Their sole aim was to breach the UK's immigration controls and bring people into the UK illegally." Of the 20 people found in the back of the lorry, 16 have been returned to Albania. The Home Office said the cases of the remaining four are being progressed in line with the immigration rules.

Three men who tried to smuggle 20 people into the UK in a lorry have been jailed.

Luke Bennett, 20, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis four years ago - a form of inflammatory bowel disease. After medication and steroids failed to improve his condition, he decided to undergo surgery six weeks ago. Speaking to BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad programme, Mr Bennett said he wanted to help other people like him. Talking about his decision to have surgery, he said: "It was very hard. It was quite a long process really. "In my head I was thinking 'why am I going to wait until I'm really ill to go into surgery when it's inevitable?" Mr Bennett posted the picture on the Crohn's and Colitis UK Facebook page to show what "a normal person" looks like with a colostomy bag. "If you have surgery there's nothing really to worry about... it does get better," he added. Dan McClean, director of marketing at Crohn's and Colitis UK, described Luke as an "inspiration". "We are currently seeing this inflammatory bowel disease being diagnosed in about 10,000 younger people a year," he said. "To see Luke's story is very inspiring for a lot of people."

A student from Swansea University has gone viral after a selfie he took with his colostomy bag was viewed by more than one million people online.

Reports say the couple were beaten to death by hundreds of locals who then burned their bodies in the brick kiln where they worked in Punjab province. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called the murders "an unacceptable crime". Allegations of blasphemy are often used in Pakistan to settle personal scores or to target members of minorities. Police say the suspects are due to appear in court on Wednesday in Lahore. The victims have been identified as Shehzad Masih and his wife Shama. About 200 people in Lahore, mainly from the Christian community and human rights organisations, protested against the killings, which took place in the town of Kot Radha Kishan about 60km (40 miles) to the south-west. They held signs saying "Christian carnage in the name of blasphemy should be stopped" and "the government has failed to give protection to minorities", BBC Urdu's Shumaila Jaffrey reports from Lahore. Union leader Farooq Tariq told the BBC that the dispute was actually over money. "The owner of the brick kiln gave it a religious colour, and they locked up the Christian woman Shama for two days, then attacked her with shovels, then tortured her husband and threw them in the brick kiln. "It's the worst misuse of religion," he said. In a statement, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said "a responsible state cannot tolerate mob rule and public lynching with impunity". "The Pakistani state has to act proactively to protect its minorities from violence and injustice." Pakistan's blasphemy laws carry a potential death sentence for anyone who insults Islam. Since the 1990s, scores of Christians have been found guilty of desecrating the Koran or of blasphemy. While most of them have been sentenced to death by the lower courts, many sentences have been overturned due to lack of evidence. However, correspondents say even the mere accusation of blasphemy, or defending someone accused of blasphemy, is enough to make someone a target for hardliners. In May gunmen in the city of Multan shot dead a lawyer, Rashid Rehman, who had been defending a university lecturer accused of blasphemy. Last month a Pakistani court upheld the death penalty for Asia Bibi, a Christian woman convicted of blasphemy in 2010 - a case which sparked a global outcry.

Pakistani police have arrested at least 43 suspects in connection with Tuesday's killing of a Christian couple accused of desecrating the Koran.

Stuart Campbell was arrested in the west of England on Friday following a complaint from a woman in south London. She had made allegations of harassment taking place over a two-year period. Mr Campbell, who was released on bail, said it concerned some tweets and insisted they were not threatening. He accused the media of "innuendo" designed to encourage "speculations". The blogger, a former computer games reviewer who was born in Stirling but lives in Bath, has been a vocal campaigner for Scottish independence and launched the Wings Over Scotland blog in 2011. On Friday he tweeted that he would be posting less frequently than usual because of "reasons totally outwith my control (don't ask)". End of Twitter post by @WingsScotland A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police are investigating an allegation of online harassment. "The allegation was made after a woman, aged in her 30s, attended a south London police station. The harassment is said to have taken place over the past two years." Mr Campbell has been bailed, pending further inquiries, to a date in mid-September. In a statement on the Wings Over Scotland website, Mr Campbell responded to a report of his arrest which appeared in The Herald newspaper. He said that piece "has been written for maximum innuendo to allow the wildest speculations on social media - which are of course duly taking place - but the alleged events relate entirely to some tweets from our Twitter account, none of which have been deleted and all of which are still publicly visible. "Nothing more sinister or serious than some tweets has occurred or been alleged to have occurred. None of the tweets involved are in ANY way threatening, not even in a joking sense. That's all we'll be saying on the subject at this time."

The pro-independence blogger behind the Wings Over Scotland website has been arrested for alleged online harassment.

A spokesman for the zoo said it was hard to predict a specific date for any cub being born, and that the breeding season can last until late September. Tian Tian, who arrived at the zoo as part of a breeding pair with Yang Guang in 2011, was artificially inseminated earlier this year. The zoo said she was being closely monitored. This is the fifth time Tian Tian has been artificially inseminated. She had previously given birth to twins in China but all attempts to produce a cub at Edinburgh Zoo have failed. A spokesman for RZSS Edinburgh Zoo said: "Giant panda breeding is a very complicated process but we believe that Tian Tian is pregnant. "Although a specific date was suggested, like all babies it's hard to predict precisely and the panda breeding season can last until late September. "Tian Tian is being closely monitored by our expert team and we will be the first to share any news as soon as we can." A spokesman for animal rights campaigners OneKind said: "This poor panda cub will never be introduced to the wild and will only ever know a life in captivity. "To make matters worse, to produce a cub, Tian Tian has been subjected to repeated invasive procedures since coming to Edinburgh. "This has not been in the interest of pandas or conservation, and appears instead to be driven by the pursuit of PR and gate fees. "If you want to help pandas, you don't need to go and see one at a zoo. Just make a donation to conservation charities conserving pandas in their natural habit instead." News of the pregnancy came to light after documents were released to the Edinburgh Evening News under the Freedom of Information Act. If a cub was born, it would be returned to China at the age of two - mimicking natural dispersal age in the wild. Panda reproduction is a notoriously difficult process, with females only ovulating once a year. Tian Tian (Sweetie) and Yang Guang (Sunshine) are the only giant pandas living in the UK. They arrived on loan from China in December 2011 and are due to remain at Edinburgh Zoo for a decade. The zoo first announced it was in negotiations to bring a pair of giant pandas to Scotland in 2008. The pair were brought to the UK under a historic agreement between the UK and Chinese governments. Described as a gift from China, they were the first giant pandas to live in the UK for 17 years.

The UK's only female panda, Tian Tian, is believed to be pregnant, according to Edinburgh Zoo.

The demonstration came after the deaths of several helpers in recent months. They also called for a pay rise, a limit on working hours and better accommodation. Eman Villanueva, spokesman for the Asian Migrants Co-ordinating Body, told the South China Morning Post: "We are hopeful that our demands will be met." He added: "There are no reasons to reject them unless this is an anti-immigrant government." Early last month, a 35-year-old Filipino domestic worker fell to her death as she was reportedly cleaning the windows of her employer's flat. At least four other helpers are reported to have died this year from work accidents or suicide. "Cleaning windows from the outside is not a domestic worker's duty. It's a responsibility of the building management," said Mr Villanueva, himself a domestic worker from the Philippines. "It's necessary to have proper training and safety equipment to do that sort of job." The protest also called for a rise in the minimum wage for foreign domestic workers to HK$5,000 (US$645; £485) a month. The minimum wage is currently HK$4,210 per month, and employers are required to provide "suitable accommodation" as well as free food or a food allowance. The South China Morning Post quotes a study by the non-profit Justice Centre which suggests the average domestic worker in Hong Kong works nearly 12 hours a day, and nearly 40% did not have their own room. Mr Villanueva said there were domestic workers living in "boxes" similar to "dog houses".

Domestic workers have taken to the streets of Hong Kong to demand a ban on them being asked to clean windows in high-rise buildings.

The US has said the bombing, which took place in the Afghan city of Kunduz, was a mistake and it was attempting to strike the Taliban. MSF wants the bombing to be investigated as a war crime. Mr Obama has also apologised to the president of Afghanistan. "If it is necessary to hold individuals accountable, that will be done," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. Mr Obama "expressed his condolences" to MSF president Joanne Liu, said Mr Earnest. "In the United States when we make mistakes, we're honest about it. We own up to it," he said. Mr Earnest also hinted at the possibility of paying victims and their families, a Department of Defense policy. He said he could not say legally whether the bombing was a war crime but the US "goes to great lengths to limit the loss of life" of civilians. In a statement, MSF said they received the apology but it was still demanding the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission (IHFFC) investigate. MSF has said it would not trust internal military inquiries into the bombing. The IHFFC was set up in 1991 under the Geneva Conventions. MSF says the co-ordinates of the hospital were well-known and its bombing could not have been a mistake. A number of inquiries have been ordered - by the US justice department, the Pentagon, Nato and an American-Afghan team.

US President Barack Obama has apologised to the president of aid agency Medecins San Frontieres (MSF) for a bombing that killed at least 22.

The Real Madrid forward headed the vital goal in Cyprus as Wales won 1-0 in Nicosia and stay top of Group B. With the top two qualifying for France, three more points will be enough to seal Wales' place at a major finals for the first time since 1958. "We've never done it so I'm guessing it's going to be hard," Bale said. "But this group is focused, we really know what we need to do and hopefully we can deliver on Sunday. Media playback is not supported on this device "It would probably be the best thing we've achieved. If we can get across the line it'll be an amazing thing, not just for us but the whole nation and the whole of Welsh football. "We know what's coming. All out attention has been focused on the Cyprus game, we haven't thought about the Israel game at all. "That's the good thing about this team, we haven't taken our eyes off the ball once." Wales had not won in Cyprus since 1992 and as chances came and went in Nicosia on Thursday it seemed as though they would be denied once again. But with eight minutes remaining on the clock, Jazz Richards picked out Bale and the 26-year-old met the ball with a thumping header that gave the excellent Antonis Georgallides in the Cyprus goal no chance. "I've not scored too many better [headers] and at a vital time, which was important," added Bale. "Obviously it wasn't our best performance in terms of attacking but we defended well as a unit and showed again what a good team we are. "We try to defend as a team from front to back, but the backline were incredible. In the end we deserved to win, we created the better chances." Wales boss Chris Coleman said that Joe Ledley remained a "huge doubt" for Sunday's match against Israel with the hamstring problem that saw the Crystal Palace midfielder miss out in Cyprus. But West Bromwich Albion defender James Chester has a chance of playing after his hamstring injury kept him out in Nicosia. West Ham United's James Collins is another option at the heart of defence. But after the performance of skipper Ashley Williams, Chris Gunter and Ben Davies in Nicosia, Wales manager Chris Coleman may be unwilling to tinker with his winning formula. Former Wales captain Kevin Ratcliffe: "We kept it nice and tight at the back and weren't chasing things. "Cyprus had a lot of possession in the second half but never really got in behind us and hurt us. "I was a little bit concerned down the left-hand side on one or two occasions and I think a better side might have exploited that. "We've got to rectify that for the next game, because Israel would have seen that we're lacking left-sided players with the nous to get across the pitch on a consistent basis. We are lacking that with Joe Ledley not in the squad. "But we are resilient at the back: Chris Gunter and Ashley Williams were immense along with Jazz Richards, who was so comfortable in that position. "One goal is enough the way we defend."

Gareth Bale says Wales will be stepping into the unknown on Sunday when they attempt to beat Israel in Cardiff and seal their place at Euro 2016.

They failed to score a point in the second half as Rob Elloway, Matt Evans and Joe Atkinson were yellow-carded. "The communication was there, we just weren't reacting to what he (the referee) was saying," Davies said. "The cumulation caught up with us with three yellow cards - you don't often see that, but they were justified." Pirates had beaten their Championship rivals in all three of their previous meetings this season. Evans and on-loan Exeter scrum-half Stu Townsend scored tries for the Cornish side, who will lose head coach Davies in the summer due to budget constraints. "In that first half that's all that was keeping them in the game, our ill-discipline," he told BBC Radio Cornwall. "Ill-discipline came back to haunt us - it was one bridge too far. "There have been some dark days and some long days, so to get to a final would've been great, but we haven't achieved that."

Cornish Pirates boss Ian Davies says ill-discipline "came back to haunt" his side in their 36-15 British and Irish Cup semi-final defeat at London Welsh.

Peter Ward, 54 of Barnstaple in Devon and Richard Hiley, 30 of Tividale in the West Midlands were sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday. Ward was given five years and two months, Hiley five years. The pair pleaded guilty to possession, supply and importation of Class A and Class B drugs. Peter Ward was known online as PlutoPete. His business specialised in supplying military-grade foil packaging that claimed to hide illegal materials from detection. He also provided new psychoactive substances, commonly known as legal highs. He was arrested by National Crime Agency officers in Barnstaple in October 2013 following an international operation targeting prominent vendors on dark web marketplaces like Silk Road. Officers searched Ward's rural home and found class A and B drugs and numerous computers. Analysis uncovered his close working with an ex-customer, Richard Hiley, who was commissioned by Ward to convert bitcoins into cash. In December 2013, NCA officers raided Hiley's address in the West Midlands after financial records seized from Ward identified large scale transactions between the pair. Hiley also pleaded guilty to two counts of importing a prohibited weapon after he imported five stun guns. He said they were for personal protection. NCA Branch Commander, Ian Glover, said: "Criminals and their customers like to think that dark web market places provide an anonymous haven. "The reality is that law enforcement works together internationally to identify and pursue these people." Source: US Department of Justice

A major vendor on the illegal Silk Road website and his business partner, were sentenced to five years in prison for drugs offences.

In a brief speech to the National Assembly, Mr Maduro pledged loyalty to the president and said Mr Chavez remained in charge of the country. Mr Maduro also denied that there was a political fight for the succession. President Chavez was due to be sworn in on 10 January for a fourth term. The Supreme Court ruled he could take the oath at a later date, a view challenged by opposition figures. "There is only one president: Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias, supreme commander of the army, commander of the Bolivarian Revolution," Mr Maduro told legislators. He also used his speech to announce that the Mr Chavez had appointed former vice-president Elias Jaua as Venezuela's new foreign minister. The post was previously held by Mr Maduro. The vice-president saluted National Assembly president, Diosdado Cabello, and dismissed rumours that they are political rivals. "They say Cabello and I are fighting. But Cabello and I are united in our heart, in loyalty to a man who has the supreme command of this country." The vice-president said that his appearance to give the state of the union address was in accordance with the constitution, as Mr Chavez had been granted leave of absence by the National Assembly. This view was challenged by some legal experts - they highlight Article 237 of the Constitution, which stipulates that the president should appear "personally" to give the speech within 10 days of the inauguration of the legislature. The current assembly was sworn in on 5 January. Within 10 days of the inauguration of the National Assembly, in routine session, the President of the Republic shall personally present, each year, to the Assembly a message in which they give account of the political, economic and administrative aspects of their administration during the previous year. BBC's Sarah Grainger in Caracas says that the speech, which in Mr Chavez's hands could go on for hours, lasted a matter of minutes with Mr Maduro. President Chavez underwent a fourth operation for cancer on 11 December, and suffered post-operative complications. Mr Maduro told legislators he had met Mr Chavez in Havana on Monday and that his health was improving. "He is climbing the hill, he is fighting with his spirit, his vision, his love," said Mr Maduro, adding that Mr Chavez has been briefed on developments in Venezuela. Supreme Court justices have ruled that Mr Chavez, who has been in office since 1999, can be sworn in for another term as president at a later date. Opposition leaders say the government is riding rough-shod over the constitution and have demanded clarity about who is running the country. According to the constitution, if a president is permanently incapacitated, the speaker of the National Assembly should take over and elections called within 30 days. If the absence is temporary, the vice-president assumes charge for a maximum of 180 days.

Venezuelan Vice-President Nicolas Maduro has given the annual state of the nation speech in place of Hugo Chavez, who is still recuperating in Cuba after cancer surgery.

Police found the child after being called to at a home at Bromsgrove Cottages in Faringdon at around 13:20 GMT on Tuesday. A 40-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder and the child's next-of-kin have been informed. The boy was said to be of primary school age. Police have increased their presence in the area. They said this was in order "to provide reassurance". Visit our live page for the latest updates. Supt Rory Freeman, local police area commander for South and Vale of White Horse, said: "This is a very shocking discovery and I am aware it may have a very direct impact on the community of Faringdon. "We would advise any members of the community affected by this incident to speak to one of the neighbourhood policing team." The woman remains in police custody. Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting 730. Police tape remains around the line of cottages, and uniformed and plain clothes officers are coming and going as the investigation continues. News that something serious had happened spread rapidly on social media on Tuesday night. This morning passers-by are saying they are shocked and saddened by what's happened. One lady walking to school with her son stopped to give a rose to one of the police officers monitoring the cordon. This is quite a visible place opposite the fire station; a lot of people go past here, so the police are asking anyone with information to contact them.

A murder investigation has been launched after a boy was found dead at a house in Oxfordshire.

Gales and heavy rain swept across large parts of the UK, causing devastating flooding in Cumbria and Lancashire, as well as parts of southern Scotland. On the first anniversary of Storm Desmond, experts say November to January were the wettest three months since UK records began in 1910. Review author Terry Marsh said flooding was "extensive and repetitive". Storm Desmond began battering parts of the UK on 5 December, depositing a record month's worth of rain on Cumbria in just one day. About 5,200 homes were flooded in Cumbria and Lancashire, while tens of thousands more lost power after an electricity sub-station in Lancaster was flooded. The storm caused an estimated insurance bill of more than £1.3bn. Major storms "Abigail", "Frank" and "Gertrude" also hit the UK last winter. A study by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), in collaboration with the British Hydrological Society, found many rivers across northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland saw record peak flows during the three-month period. It found the rivers Eden, Tyne and Lune in England saw record peaks of around 1,700 cubic metres per second. Experts say such levels could fill London's Royal Albert Hall in less than a minute. Although last winter's floods were more extreme in scale, flooding in 1947 had a greater impact in terms of homes flooded and crops destroyed, the appraisal found. However, lead author Terry Marsh from CEH said the national scale of last winter's floods were "the most extreme on record". "The associated flooding was both extensive and repetitive, and total river outflows from Great Britain following the passage of Storm Desmond in December exceeded the previous maximum by a substantial margin," he said.

Flooding across parts of the UK last winter was the most extreme on record, experts have said.

Scotland's health boards paid more than £20m in overtime and additional pay to some doctors in 2015/16, up from the £14m paid out in 2014/15. The British Medical Association said there were not enough consultants. But Health Secretary Shona Robison said overtime was a "tiny percentage" of the overall spend on consultants. And she said the government was "determined to eradicate high cost overtime payments in NHS Scotland". The BBC asked all 186 organisations running NHS hospitals in the UK about overtime and extra payments over the last three years. Across the UK, overtime and additional payments have increased by more than a third, to £168m, in 2015/16 - with one doctor in Lancashire making almost £375,000 in the space of 12 months. In total, 23 NHS trusts had to pay at least one consultant more than £100,00 for extra work, with another 39 paying at least one more than £50,000. Much of the overtime work involves non-emergency procedures designed to meet waiting times targets. It is up to hospitals to negotiate their own rates for extra work, with the most lucrative ones in place for routine treatments, such as knee and hip replacements. Consultants doing overtime in these areas commonly make £600 for a four-hour shift - three to four times what they normally get. Overtime for urgent and emergency work tends to be much lower - around £300 for a shift. Of Scotland's 14 health boards, 12 responded to the freedom of information requests. This showed spending going up from £14.27m in 2013/14 to £20.92m in 2015/16. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde paid out the most, with an outlay of £7,749,870 on higher rate payments for additional shifts, while NHS Orkney did not make any payments. NHS Grampian had the greatest increase in payments, from zero in 2013/14 to £1.6m two years later. There were also sharp increases at NHS Lanarkshire, from £1.8m to £3.4m, and NHS Lothian, from £1.3m to £2.1m. A number of hospitals asked about the payments UK-wide said there was a shortage of consultants, meaning they had to try to get existing staff to do extra work. They also said high emergency-room pressures had led to the cancellation of more routine treatments, increasing the need for overtime. A spokesman for the British Medical Association said: "The fact is the NHS is only paying overtime on this scale because it does not have enough doctors to do the work." However, Scotland's health secretary insisted that consultant staffing was at a record high. Ms Robison said: "NHS consultant numbers have increased by almost 43% under this government to a record high level. This spend on overtime represents a tiny percentage of the overall spend on consultants. "We are determined to eradicate high cost overtime payments in NHS Scotland, which is why we have launched a national programme for the effective management of all temporary staffing, to help boards move away from reliance on high cost temporary staff, reduce overall costs and ensure value for money for NHS Scotland. "We have also set up and championed the use of local 'staff bank' systems, which are a pool of flexible NHS-employed staff who fill the majority of short term vacant shifts at NHS pay rates. Work is now underway to develop these local banks into integrated regional and national staff banks to allow greater flexibility across NHS Scotland and minimise reliance on agency staff. "In the meantime the use of overtime and locum staff allows NHS Boards to respond to periods of planned and unplanned absence including long term sickness, unexpected vacancies and maternity and paternity leave ensuring service continuity during these times."

Growing pressures on hospitals are forcing them to ramp up costly overtime payments to consultants to do extra work, a BBC investigation shows.

The car was bought by Rick Champagne, a logistics company owner from Phoenix, Arizona. The 56-year-old, who was just 10 when the high-camp TV series began in 1966, said it "was a dream come true". The Batmobile design was based on a 1955 Lincoln Futura, a concept car built in Italy by the Ford Motor Company. It was the first time that car had come up for public sale since it was bought in 1965 by car-customiser George Barris for a nominal fee of $1. Barris then spent $15,000 (roughly £5,370 at the time) to transform it into the famous superhero vehicle, over a period of 15 days. It had a V-8 engine, arguably one of the first in-car phones, and parachutes, which were deployed to help Batman turn sharp corners. Mr Barris told reporters at the auction: "The car had to be a star on its own. And it became one." Since the show was cancelled in 1968, he has toured the Batmobile and was eventually housed in a private showroom in California. Adam West, now 84, played the caped crusader in 120 episodes in four years of programming, with Burt Ward starring as the "boy wonder" Robin and comedian and actor Cesar Romero as Batman's arch nemesis, The Joker. The 60s show was camp in its portrayal of Batman. More recent incarnations of billionaire Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego - such as British director Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy - have had a much darker tone. The newer Batmobiles have reflected the more brutal portrayal of Gotham City's saviour, such as the "Tumbler" of 2005's Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale.

The Batmobile used by actor Adam West in the original TV series of Batman has sold for $4.2m (£2.6m) at a US auction.

The duo's Irish side begin their Euro 2016 campaign against Sweden on Monday. "We're happy to stay on. I really enjoy the job, working with the players, the staff and the FAI," said Keane, 44. The former Manchester United star has made no secret of his desire to return to club management at some stage after previously managing Sunderland and Ipswich. During his Republic of Ireland stint, which began in November 2013, Keane has twice been linked with the Celtic job but opted to remain as O'Neill's assistant on both occasions. "With the club stuff, I'm 44 years of age so there is plenty of time for that," he said. "I am keen to get back into it - and when I said short term, I mean in the next few years, not the next few weeks." In an otherwise good humoured news conference at the Republic's tournament base in Versailles, Keane's brow only furrowed when he was asked whether his contract includes a clause that will allow him to talk to clubs over the next two years. "I think what's written in my contract is none of your business," the Corkman replied to the journalist. "Who do you work with? What's your deal? Do they pay you good money? It's none of my business." A relaxed Keane even played along with the inevitable question about the Republic's tournament facilities, 14 years after he was infamously sent home from the county's pre-tournament training camp in Saipan on the eve of the 2002 World Cup. "The FAI have done brilliantly. No doubt lessons have been learned. Trying to find something that was wrong, then maybe my bed's a bit too soft," joked the Republic assistant. "The facilities are brilliant - they're a credit to everyone in the set-up here; the training pitch, the hotel, the location. "It's great. It really is. We're enjoying it."

Roy Keane had "no hesitation" in agreeing to remain Republic of Ireland assistant boss once manager Martin O'Neill committed to another two years.

Gwen Thomson, 51, from Torry, died after the accident on Market Street on Wednesday morning. Insp Jon Barron said: "Our thoughts are very much with Gwen's family, friends and work colleagues at this very sad time." The 60-year-old male lorry driver was uninjured. Police Scotland thanked those who helped at the scene. Insp Barron added: "We have spoken to a number of witnesses to the incident already. However, I would urge anyone who hasn't yet been in contact with us to do so in order to help piece together exactly what happened."

A woman who died after being knocked down by an HGV in Aberdeen city centre has been named.

Mr Blair said the party he used to lead should aspire to govern, rather than be a "fringe protest movement". He has been a vocal critic of leader Jeremy Corbyn, warning before his leadership election victory that the party risked "annihilation" if he won. Mr Corbyn's office declined to respond to Mr Blair's comments, made in a Spectator article. "All wings of the Labour Party which support the notion of the Labour Party as a Party aspiring to govern, rather than as a fringe protest movement agree on the tragedy of the Labour Party's current position," he said in the article, which does not mention Mr Corbyn by name. His comments come amid divisions within the party over its future direction. Most Labour MPs did not back Mr Corbyn for leader, but he overwhelmingly won the contest with over half of the membership's vote. Tensions have surfaced since the Commons voted on air strikes in Syria. Some MPs have complained they were abused online after backing military intervention, and Mr Corbyn has warned members "abuse and intimidation" will not be tolerated. There have also been claims so-called moderate Labour MPs could be unseated by pressure from the grass-roots Momentum group, formed from Mr Corbyn's leadership campaign, which the group denies. In his article, Mr Blair also defended his party's record under his leadership, during which he said it had "effectively discarded" its ideological commitment to socialism. Labour "fell short" in areas when hard choices had to be made, he said, with "significant elements" of the party unhappy with the "compromise" and "pragmatism" required for government, seeing it as a betrayal of Labour's principles. Looking forward, Mr Blair said "more modernising and less ideological thinking" was needed to cope with challenges such as the housing shortage and social exclusion. "Right now we're in danger of not asking the right questions, never mind failing to get the right answers," he said. Many current Labour members feel the party "lost its way" in government, Mr Blair concluded. "I feel we found it," he said. "But I accept in the process we failed to convince enough people that the true progressives are always the modernisers, not because they discard principle but because they have the courage to adhere to it when confronted with reality."

The current state of the Labour Party is a "tragedy", former Prime Minister Tony Blair has said.

Kathleen and Jimmy Cuddihy, who were in their 70s, were found dead just outside Carndonagh on 22 October 2014. Their son, Julian Cuddihy, appeared at Dublin's Central Criminal Court on Tuesday. The court heard he admitted killing his parents but the jury must decide his mental state at the time. Counsel for the prosecution told the jury that forensic psychiatrists for both the prosecution and the defence are in agreement and will give evidence that Mr Cuddihy was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time. The psychiatrists will also say that Mr Cuddihy, who was 42-years-old at the time, believed he was carrying out his parents' wishes and was helping them to secure a place in heaven. The jury heard evidence from a post-mortem examination that the couple had severe head injuries. The court was told that an axe and scissors were found at the scene. Julian Cuddihy was arrested a short time later after it became known he had taken his father's car to a lake area near Clonmany. The court heard that after his arrest, Mr Cuddihy asked gardai (Irish police) if they were telling him his parents were dead. Mr Cuddihy has been receiving treatment at the Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum since his arrest. The trial continues.

A man has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the murder of his parents at their home in County Donegal almost two years ago.

Centre-left candidate Daniel Scioli led exit polls, and just edged centre-right Buenos Aires mayor Mauricio Macri with most votes counted. Many had expected Mr Scioli to lead by a greater margin. The run-off on 22 November will be the first time an Argentine election will be decided by a second round. With 96% of the votes counted, Mr Scioli was marginally ahead with 36.7% of the vote, while Mr Macri had 34.5%. To win outright in the first round, a candidate needed 45% of the vote or a minimum of 40% as well as a 10-point lead over the nearest rival. "What happened today will change politics in this country," Mr Macri, the mayor of Buenos Aires, told supporters. Sergio Massa, a former ally turned rival of outgoing President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, came a distant third with 21.3% of the vote and admitted defeat. Mr Massa has not said who will get his backing in the second round next month. With Mr Macri and Mr Scioli neck-and-neck, Mr Massa's support could prove crucial. Mr Scioli was handpicked as candidate by President Fernandez, who is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term. The governor of Buenos Aires province, he is a former world powerboating champion who lost his right arm in a race in 1989. Late on Sunday, he spoke before thousands of his supporters, saying: "United together we will triumph. I call upon the undecided and independent voters to join this cause." Last week, Mr Scioli pledged tax cuts for workers earning under a certain income, a move expected to affect half a million people. He has also vowed to bring down Argentina's inflation to single digits in less than four years and promises to introduce policy changes to invigorate the economy. Ms Fernandez, who stands down after eight years in power, says she leaves Argentines a better country. "We are voting today in a completely normal country," said Ms Fernandez said after casting her vote in the Patagonian town of Rio Gallegos. In previous decades, Argentines always went to the polls "in the middle of a serious crisis," she added. Ms Fernandez said achieving stability and leaving Argentines "a normal country" was the promise made by her late husband, Neston Kirchner, when he took office in 2003. He died in 2010, three years after handing over the presidency to his wife. Argentina elections: All to play for 14.5% Official, but disputed, inflation level 28.2% the inflation level in 2014, according to the World Bank 0.7% amount IMF predicts the economy will shrink in 2016 Whoever wins the presidency faces significant economic challenges. While the country gained strength after a financial crisis in 2002, its economy, the third-largest in Latin America, has slowed in recent years, with GDP growing by only 0.5% last year. The government is also locked in a battle against American hedge funds who disagree with how it wants to restructure $100bn (£65bn) of debt on which it defaulted in 2001. While the firms successfully sued Argentina for repayment, Ms Fernandez refused to pay.

Argentina will face a run-off election next month after neither presidential candidate gained enough votes to win the poll outright.

The three spacecraft are owned and operated by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited, which is based in Guildford. Rural, coastal and urban scenes from Argentina, Italy, and Greece are featured in the sample pictures. Surrey has leased all the time on the satellites to 21st Century Aerospace Technology Ltd of Beijing. 21AT refers to the trio as the TripleSat Constellation and will be using them primarily to survey Chinese territory. Their data will help with urban planning, working out crop yields, pollution monitoring and doing biodiversity assessments, among many other applications. The satellites see the Earth in a range of visible and infrared wavelengths. They fly as a train around the globe, with a separation between each platform of 33 minutes. And from their altitude of 651km, they can trace surface features down to one metre in a panchromatic mode (back and white), and four metres in a multispectral (colour) mode. The swath covered by an image is 24km. The spacecraft also have the ability to swivel and look sideways, and so will often be tasked to work in unison to patch together wide mosaics, or even make stereo views of particular scenes. The rural shot of Argentina was acquired by TripleSat-1; the view of the Acropolis and Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece, was captured by TripleSat-2, and the image of the Adriatic resort city of Rimini, Italy, was taken by TripleSat-3. Look closely and you can see the neat rows of parasols on the beach. The new constellation is the most capable yet to come out of SSTL, which actually refers to the spacecraft by its own designation of DMC3 Its decision to lease time on the satellites, as opposed to selling them or their data direct to 21AT, is a new way of working for the Guildford company. It just so happens that on this occasion, 100% of the time has been leased by the Beijing operator. However, Surrey has a fourth platform that is almost built that could be leased to other users for periods of time. SSTL's founder and executive chairman, Sir Martin Sweeting, said he hoped potential customers would be impressed by the capability demonstrated in the new pictures. "The DMC3/TripleSat constellation comprises the world's highest capability-for-cost Earth observation satellites in their class, and confirms SSTL once again at the forefront of small satellite missions and innovative business models," he told BBC News. Sir Martin was speaking here in Paris at the World Satellite Business Week conference organised by Euroconsult. The DMC3/TripleSat satellites were launched in July by a PSLV-XL rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos

The first images acquired by a new UK-built, high-resolution, Earth-observation constellation have been publicly released.

A young palaeontologist working with the University of Manchester found the fossil in 2008, in the collections of Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery. He realised it was the 189-million-year-old remains of an ichthyosaur - an extinct marine reptile. Further study confirmed it to be a previously unknown species. The finding has now been published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Dean Lomax, the 25-year-old palaeontologist who studied the specimen, said it was so well preserved he could determine the contents of its stomach. "We could see tiny hook-shaped features that were actually the hooks from the tentacles of squid," he said. "So we know what its last meal was." Mr Lomax worked with Prof Judy Massare, from the State University of New York, comparing the specimen's fossilised bones with those of almost 1,000 other ichthyosaurs in museums in the US and Europe. Mr Lomax explained that subtle anatomical features in its fin bones set the species apart from others. It is not uncommon to find ichthyosaur fossils in England. The sharp-toothed marine reptiles swam in large numbers in the seas around Britain when the dinosaurs roamed. This particular specimen was found in the rocks of Dorset's Jurassic Coast in the early 1980s and brought to the museum, so it is not clear how it was eventually mistaken for a copy. Dr Silvia Danise from Plymouth University said its "rediscovery" was a "striking example of how important museum collections are for scientific research". "Collections are treasures that show their value each time we're able to look at them with a different perspective, and by asking new scientific questions," she told BBC News. Dr Blanca Huertas, from the Natural History Museum in London, pointed out that there were still many species to discover in museum collections. "Sometimes we discover things in the field," she said, "but the collections are an incredible source of opportunities, since visiting them, people can study specimens and collections from hundreds of places across the entire planet and travel in time." Source: Encyclopaedia of Paleontology. This new species has now been named Ichthyosaurus anningae - in honour of Mary Anning, the British fossil-hunter who discovered the first ichthyosaur on the Dorset coast in about 1811. The hope now is that news about the significance of this ancient specimen might help track down the fossil hunter who found it. Dr Stephen Brusatte, a palaeontologist from the University of Edinburgh added that there was "a whole lot more still to find out there". He told BBC News: "Palaeontology is a unique science because you don't need an advanced degree or specialised training to find a fossil, just patience and a keen set of eyes."

A fossil stored in a Doncaster museum for 30 years and thought to be a plaster copy has turned out to be a new species of ancient reptile.

Denise Fergus said she had been "let down so many times by the system" but that she would continue to "fight". Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were convicted of killing two-year-old James in Bootle, Merseyside in 1993. Mrs Fergus said she believed Venables was capable of harming other people if he was released from prison. He was recalled to prison in 2010. He had been released from prison in 2001, having served seven years of a life sentence, but was recalled when he pleaded guilty to downloading and distributing indecent images of children. Mrs Fergus, speaking to the BBC to mark the 20th anniversary of the killing, said: "Do not release him. I still don't think he's capable of walking amongst other people. "He will do someone else harm. It's in him, and I strongly believe if he's released he will go on to hurt someone else." Thompson, who was also released in 2001 after eight years in detention, was given a new secret identity and address. Venables was aged 10 when he and Thompson abducted and murdered James, beating him with bricks and iron bars and leaving his body on a railway line. James' mother described it as "a stupid, silly little mistake" of hers to let go of her child's hand for a few seconds on 12 February 1993 at the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle. She said it "still feels so raw to this day". "I still can't understand how it happened, or why it happened." Mrs Fergus set up a charity, named after her son, to support young people who have become the victims of crime, hatred or bullying. Asked if, after 20 years, she should move on, Mrs Fergus said: "Why should I let it go? They took the most precious thing away from me. I won't let it go. And I've always said if there's a fight there to be fought, then I'll fight it for James. "If I let go of that now I will feel I've let James down. That is something I'll never do, I'll never let James down. I want justice for James. He's never had justice." She has campaigned to have both men kept in prison, and said: "I did warn [the authorities] that one of them or both of them would go on to reoffend, and I was proven right with Venables." She said her family - her husband and three sons - mention James often. "I think the day I stop talking about him is the day I give up on life, but I'll never stop talking about him, never stop remembering him."

The mother of murdered toddler James Bulger says she still "wants justice" 20 years after her son's death.

Up to 40mm (1.5in) could fall, with a yellow be aware warning in place until 22:00 BST. Forecasters are uncertain about how heavy and persistent the rain will be. The warning covers Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Neath Port Talbot, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Bridgend, Cardiff, Swansea and Vale of Glamorgan. A moist southerly airstream is set to bring the bulk of the rain in a four-hour period, with the Met Office saying it will issue further updates to the warning throughout Monday. It said it could lead to standing water and spray on roads, making travel conditions tricky.

Outbreaks of heavy rain will hit parts of south, mid and west Wales through Monday, the Met Office has warned.

Mahalia Hamid said she and her friends were told they could not enter Volt as they "did not fit the criteria". She said she then stood by and watched as groups of white people walked into the club. In response, Volt told the BBC it had always "welcomed a diverse audience", including people of different races. Live updates and more from Nottinghamshire "To find me and my friends do not fit the criteria for a night out, we couldn't believe it," said Miss Hamid. "I felt as if I was not good enough or white enough." Miss Hamid had hoped to celebrate her 24th birthday at the city centre nightclub on 28 January, and paid £300 to pre-book a VIP table through a promoter. "We were basically left there without any explanation, apart from we do not fit the criteria of the night," she said. "Looking at the other guests, looking at ourselves, the only criteria that we didn't fit was our skin colour." A female member of staff gave the group their £300 back. Volt said: "The lady responsible for these accusations has attended the venue numerous times previously without any issues, and it was only the four males in the group that were refused, due to dress and security concerns." In response, Ms Hamid said the entire group was refused entry, and they were all "dressed to the nines". There was no mention of their clothes being a problem on the night, she added, and other customers were allowed in despite wearing T-shirts, caps and trainers. Nottinghamshire Police said in a comment: "We received a report of a hate incident alleged to have happened at a premises in Broadway, Nottingham, on Saturday 28 January 2017. Our inquiries are ongoing."

Police are investigating a Nottingham nightclub for an alleged hate crime incident after a group of predominantly black people were refused entry.

At present, those under 18 can be sentenced to a maximum of three years in a reform facility. The move to change the law gathered momentum after the youngest convict in the notorious 2012 Delhi gang rape was recently released from detention. The parents of the victim were among those campaigning to change the law. On Tuesday, the Juvenile Justice Bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha - the upper house of the parliament. The bill was approved by the Lok Sabha - the lower house - in May. It will now have to be signed by the president to become law - which, correspondents say, is a mere formality. The new law will not apply to the youngest 2012 rapist, but it will be used in future cases involving juvenile offenders above 16 years. Authorities say the number of juvenile crimes have been increasing - last year, 38,565 cases were registered, including many cases of rapes, murders and acid attacks. The supporters of the new law say tougher punishment will act as a deterrent. However, critics say that India is a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child which mandates that all children under the age of 18 be treated equally, and say the new law will violate the convention. Jyoti Singh, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student, died after being brutally raped by five men and one minor on a moving bus in 2012. The attack sparked a huge public outcry in India and forced the authorities to introduce tough new laws to deal with crimes against women. Her mother Asha Devi said she was "satisfied" at the bill's passing. "But I am sad that my daughter did not get justice," she added. Four adult convicts in the case are appealing against death sentences. A fifth died in prison. But the youngest of her attackers, who was 17 at the time of the crime, was sentenced to three years and released recently. During his trial in a juvenile court, there were calls to try him as an adult and protests were held over the weekend against his release. Since his release, the rapist has been housed with a charity because of fears over his safety. On Monday, India's Supreme Court dismissed an appeal to stop his release, saying it "shared" the concern of most citizens but its hands were "tied" by the law.

The Indian parliament has passed a bill which allows juveniles between 16 and 18 years of age to be tried as adults for serious crimes like rape or murder.

Dartmoor Hill Pony Association (DHPA) said it had put forward the idea "reluctantly". The group claims numbers have dropped from about 30,000 at the beginning of the century to just 1,500 in 2011. The DHPA said if numbers continued to fall, the breed could lose its hardiness to survive on the moor. It said demand had dropped for the ponies as pets because of the economic downturn. The ponies were traditionally used for farming, postal deliveries and pulling carts. Charlotte Faulkner, founder of the DHPA, said in a letter to South West Equine Protection (Swep): "It has taken years of considering reports and listening to the outcome of meetings to recognise and reluctantly accept that Dartmoor pony herders will only carry on keeping their herds if they have a sustainable market for them. "We are in real danger of ponies disappearing from Dartmoor altogether." Ms Faulkner said selling ponies for riding and driving would continue. "The Dartmoor Hill Pony Association believes the meat trade should be (used) too," she said. "Strangely, having a meat trade should improve a pony's chances of finding a new home at sale." Becky Treeby, of Swep, said: "Dartmoor hill ponies were there for a reason, for ecology purposes to keep grass on the moors down, and they have been there for thousands of years. People have never eaten them before. It is promoting over-breeding for profit." You can see more on this story on Inside Out SW on BBC One, Monday 29 September, at 19:30 BST. Correction 2 December 2014: This story has been amended to clarify that it refers to Dartmoor Hill ponies rather than Dartmoor ponies.

Dartmoor Hill ponies should be bred for human consumption to ensure their survival on the moor, says a pony group.

Sixty patrol boats will protect the UK's two new aircraft carriers which are due to arrive at Portsmouth Naval Base in 2017. The first carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, is expected to be operational in 2020. "We are going to see a bigger Royal Navy and the flagship... will be here in Portsmouth," Michael Fallon said. The 60 Pacific 24 rigid-hulled inflatable boats will be built by BAE systems to "guard the carriers in the harbour and our new frigates and destroyers", Mr Fallon said. He said they will also enhance security by providing a rapid response in rescue, anti-piracy and counter-narcotics missions in the area. Mr Fallon said: "Through the defence review, defence spending is going to go up every April for the rest of this parliament. He said as part of the larger investment, the government will also be able to provide the new aircraft carriers with sufficient fighter jets. "We have said we will maintain a minimum fleet of 19 destroyers and frigates, but as the older frigates are retired we also hope to add a lighter frigate between the offshore patrol vessel and Type 26 and to build more of those as well." Mr Fallon's visit to Portsmouth Naval Base comes as work has begun to rebuild the jetty for the arrival of HMS Queen Elizabeth in 2017. Floating cranes are also dredging Portsmouth harbour to prepare deeper channels for the aircraft carriers to sail from the base, which are the largest ships ever built for the Royal Navy. "This is a huge financial investment in making sure the channel is wide enough, in enlarging the jetty here so they can take the carriers and in making sure the carriers are properly guarded," Mr Fallon said. Taller than Nelson's Column and longer than Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower laid on its side, the new carriers will displace 65,000 tonnes of water. To make room for the carriers three million cubic metres of clay, sand and gravel will be removed from a two-mile stretch of Portsmouth Harbour covering an area the size of 200 football pitches.

Increased spending will result in a "bigger" Royal Navy, the defence secretary has said, as he announced a new £13.5m shipbuilding contract.

Medway Council is to stop new takeaways opening near secondary schools at lunchtime and near secondaries and primaries after school. The council said there were currently 179 takeaways within 400m of a school. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) said it was simplistic to treat all fast food restaurants in the same way. The restrictions will be used as guidance when the planning committee considers new planning applications. Councillor Jane Chitty said Medway's public health and children's services were extremely concerned about obesity. "Allowing the planning committee to take this guidance into account is a positive step," she said. Local authority health profile figures show 30% of adults in Medway are obese, while the average for England is 24.2% and the wider South East 23.7%. Among children in Medway, 20% of 10-year-olds are obese. "To do nothing is not an option," said Councillor David Brake. "We are already seeing the effect obesity has on our National Health Service and anything we can do to prevent this at an early age is welcome." A secondary and grammar school that responded to a six-week consultation on the restrictions supported the restrictions. But the Kent Small Business Federation has called them draconian and said obesity needed to be tackled by changing behaviour. The BRC said local authorities should encourage companies that wanted to play a positive role in public health and target those that were less responsible. "There are those that are working positively to cut obesity by removing fats and sugars from food and giving clear calorie labelling on their menu boards to help customers make healthier choices," said director of food and sustainability Andrew Opie.

A Kent council has voted to restrict the opening hours of fast food outlets near schools in a bid to tackle rising obesity.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) says it should be made more obvious, before viewers click play, that clips contain promoted products. The regulator wants to see warnings - like "ad" or "sponsored" - in the video's title or a symbol in the thumbnail. But Ebony Day and Fleur DeForce think that would be a step too far. Fleur de Force has more than one million YouTube subscribers. Lots of her videos are about products and shopping. She told Newsbeat it's important to be open about sponsorship but thinks putting that information in top section of the info bar is enough. "I've been very vocal about disclosing sponsored content and it does need to be regulated," she explained. But she reckons highlighting the fact a video is sponsored in the title would "distract from the content and send out a bigger message than it needs to". "If you're producing a 30 second piece of sponsored content within a 10 or 15 minute video it's not necessarily the focus of the content," she said. "It almost ruins the content from a creative point of view." She added: "It does need to be clear but we need to work out a better way than putting it in the title." Fleur compared vlogging to "advertorials" in magazines where it doesn't specifically say "advert" in the title. Meanwhile, Ebony Day, who has around 300,000 followers, told Newsbeat: "The word 'advert' on YouTube makes it feel less genuine, you'd hope the person doing it actually likes the product. I probably wouldn't watch it, I'd expect the whole thing to be an advert". She thinks it's different to when TV programmes use a logo to let viewers know there is product placement. "On TV I feel like it's expected but when it comes to YouTube it's not a big company, it's an individual in their bedroom." So why is it suddenly a big talking point? The new advice comes after the ASA decided some of Britain's YouTube stars broke advertising rules. In June a group of UK vloggers, including Dan Howell and Phil Lester, were paid to feature a brand of biscuits. However, the videos weren't clearly labelled as adverts. CBBC's Newsround raised the issue with the ASA, which said Newsround had to make a complaint for it to investigate further. After investigating, the watchdog now says the videos should not appear again in their current form. Newsbeat contacted a number of YouTubers and agencies about the new guidance. Many of the content producers seemed concerned, with some seeking legal advice on how to manage their channels in future. Lynsay Taffe from the ASA told Newsbeat: "We think it's a fundamental right that you can distinguish between when you are watching something that's someone's opinion and when someone is actually trying to sell you something because they've been paid to do that". YouTube says vloggers themselves are responsible for making videos that stick to their local laws and regulations. The vloggers affected by the ASA ruling have now changed the descriptions of their videos to make it clear they are paid advertisements, but the ASA said it would be looking at online videos much more closely in future.

Two of Britain's biggest YouTube stars tell Newsbeat they're worried about new guidance for adverts in their videos.

A 'Time To Go, Massimo' poster appeared on an advertising board outside the East Stand on Thursday. The poster was paid for by supporters angry that Cellino has not sold his 75% share in the Championship club. "He has been very positive even through the dark days and bad performances," Raynor told BBC Radio Leeds. "People will do what they want - they'll protest or they won't protest. If we win some football matches there will be less people protesting." Cellino agreed in principle to sell his majority share to supporters' group Leeds Fans United in at the end of last October, but changed his mind a week later. Fans have also been left angry about a 'pie tax,' which saw the club raise the price of Championship tickets in the South Stand by £5. Cellino is currently appealing a ban from the Football League that would prevent him running the club. "(Cellino) has talked about the future. He has been supportive in bringing in the three players we've already brought in," Raynor added. "The biggest frustration for us is that we haven't been winning as many games as we should and that doesn't help matters." Leeds, who are currently 16th in the Championship, have won just one of their last eight league games.

Leeds United's assistant head coach Paul Raynor has said that chairman Massimo Cellino is still positive, despite fan protests at Elland Road.

Memphis Depay put the visitors ahead in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie, but Pione Sisto and Paul Onuachu gave the hosts victory. Van Gaal, already without 13 players, lost David de Gea during the warm-up and used an adage that means anything that can go wrong will go wrong. "It is the law of Murphy I think," the Dutchman told BT Sport. "A lot of things are happening in the heads of the players and in the first 10 or 15 minutes we were not so good." Van Gaal felt his side improved as the first half went on and could have scored more goals. But he added: "In the second half we didn't win any duels, any second balls. You cannot afford a second goal, but we could have scored also. "Jesse Lingard had two remarkable chances." At the end of the game, United fans in the MCH Arena made it clear they were not impressed with their side's display. Van Gaal accepted the second-half performance was not good enough, but defended the attitude of his players. "The fans can criticise," he said. "They can do it because when you see the second half, maybe they are right. We have to improve and then the fans shall support us again. "All the players want to perform in an excellent way. It is not a case of attitude. We were not winning the second balls - that is my analysis." United's next game sees them face League One side Shrewsbury in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday night at New Meadow, looking to avoid an upset and a third consecutive defeat in all competitions. The Manchester Evening News called for Van Gaal to be sacked immediately in an article written by their United reporter Stuart Mathieson. "I wrote 'enough is enough' after the dire display against Southampton less than a month ago believing it couldn't get any worse and that it shouldn't be allowed to," he wrote. "But then this came this Joke in Jutland." Chief football writer for the Times, Henry Winter, told BBC Radio 5 live that the performance was appalling. "It's definitely tick-tock time," he said. "The press box there is very close to where the Manchester United power brokers were sitting. There was just a look of complete shock and horror on the face of Ed Woodward, the executive vice chairman, who will effectively be the person along with the Glazers who make the decision." Former England captain Alan Shearer told BBC Radio 5 live that United have been "pretty awful to watch" this season. He added: "They're not very good, that's the problem - they haven't entertained their fans, which of course at that football club you have to do and Van Gaal hasn't. "The lack of leadership in that team is alarming - I know Rooney is in there and he missed out last night but there's no screaming and shouting at other team-mates to tell them what to do. "With the injuries now with De Gea pulling out in the warm-up last night - Shrewsbury will be rubbing their hands together thinking they've got one hell of chance in the FA Cup on Monday." De Gea hobbled out of the warm-up with a knee problem, but Sergio Romero proved an able deputy - making several fine saves. Van Gaal was unable to say how long his first-choice goalkeeper would be out for. He said: "We have to wait for a scan, then maybe we can say more but it was a big surprise."

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal put his side's 2-1 defeat by FC Midtjylland down to Murphy's law.

But Reaction Time is a bit of an unusual commission that left me, as producer, staring at a half-hour gap in the schedule and wondering what would fill it. It is the network's first programme made entirely on smartphones. The premise was simple on paper. BBC Radio 4 put a prompt on social media ahead of Valentine's Day: "Tell us a story about love," inviting anyone in the world to make a two-minute voice recording of their relationship story, on their phone, and email it in as an attachment. Then, I would knit the contributions into a half-hour of online dates, first loves, and bitter break-ups. I will confess to some nerves. Until recently, the quality from mobile recordings would not be good enough - but, in my day job as a journalist, I have used the technique when we have not been able to get an interviewee to a studio. The technology has improved massively in recent years and is often comparable to a traditional recording. As the process started, there were anxious days when nothing arrived, and, then, suddenly - a brilliant anecdote. (Caroline's wedding gets derailed spectacularly…) I would refresh the inbox open-mouthed at relationship stories that could not be broadcast; weeding out information about people's exes that could get me sued, and in one instance, deciding against broadcasting an entertaining but detailed account of what happens when you get dysentery on honeymoon. The other factor that gave me a few worries was that people seemed particularly keen to share their disasters - marital break-up, hated exes, a ruined wedding, loneliness, a complete inability to pull - was there anyone with a nice, romantic story? It turned out there was, and it was from a woman called Samantha. Her tale finishes the programme, and it is a bit of a jaw-dropper. I knew I had something when I played it to a reasonably hard-bitten reporter at the next desk and she cried. One of the key decisions about the programme was that if we were handing over half an hour to Radio 4's listeners, we should go the whole hog and get one of them to present it. So a few weeks ago, I emailed Narelle Lancaster. The 39-year-old advertising lecturer had sent in one of my favourite stories about a catastrophic night out. Her date's opening gambit was: "Your breasts look fantastic in that dress." And then it got worse. When I contacted her about presenting the programme, Lancaster, who lives in the UK, had gone back to Australia for two months. After realising every one of my phone recording sessions with her would have to take place not far off 00:00 GMT, I banged my head on the desk a few times and got on with it. Soon enough, Lancaster was sitting on the other side of the world with two phones in her hands, one landline against her ear so I could coach her, and a smartphone to record the script with in the other hand. She told me: "It was not easy - we did spend hours working it out, so recording a script was much more complicated than I thought it would be - lots of techniques to make you sound natural. "It's been incredibly exciting. "I only submitted because saw it on Twitter, and I really didn't think anyone would be interested in my story - I was really surprised. "Now, I just want to hear it." And now, it is time for the listeners to decide if they like the sound of themselves. Reaction Time can be heard on Radio 4 at 1130 GMT on 11 February.

When Narelle Lancaster emailed a new BBC Radio 4 programme, she did not expect to become its presenter.

UK Parking Control (UKPC) said it has investigated allegations one of its employees in Lincoln had changed timestamps on photos. It said it had worked "to mitigate the risk of this re-occurring". But, a wider inquiry in other parts off the UK by the British Parking Association (BPA) is under way. The BPA said it could not comment further as they were "still in the process of our investigation". UKPC has also been reported to Action Fraud and the complaint is currently being assessed by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau. Alex Shipp, who campaigns as the Parking Prankster, said: "I think this merits a full investigation, rather than just acknowledging the few cases we know about so far." The issue came to light in Lincoln when Simone Riley-Young was issued with a parking charge notice while parked at Tritton Retail Park on 18 July. Drivers can park there free of charge for up to two hours. The timestamps on the photos said 07:15 and 09:27, but Ms Riley-Young said the earlier time was impossible as she was still in bed. Another driver, Matthew Treacy, had the same problem at the car park on 23 August. The timestamps on the photos of his car said 14:06 and 16:21, but Mr Treacy said he had four independent sources to prove his car could not have been in the car park at 14:06. UKPC operates more than 1,400 sites nationwide and similar problems have been reported outside Lincoln, including in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. Talking about the Lincoln incidents, UKPC said there had been a full investigation. "This behaviour is completely contrary to UKPC's operating procedures and employees who do not adhere to our high professional standards or codes of conduct are subject to disciplinary proceedings up to and including dismissal," a spokesman said. "We have put steps in place to mitigate the risk of this reoccurring." The BBC contacted UKPC again about incidents elsewhere in the country, but the company has not responded.

A car park operator is being investigated over claims photographic evidence has been altered to unfairly impose parking charges.

But when the last Labour government tried to bring them in the plan faced robust opposition, and the reintroduction of ID cards is not currently being considered by this government. Everyone, even children, had to carry an ID card during World War Two. Introduced in 1939 the idea was to enable the government to keep track of a transient population, displaced by bombs or evacuated from their homes. The wartime ID card system remained in place after 1945, eventually going out of use in the early 1950s. Labour revived the idea of a national identity card scheme at the start of the new century. David Blunkett, the then Home Secretary, outlined the plans in 2002. At the time the project had an estimated cost of up to £3bn. He said the cards would ensure people did not work if they were not entitled to and did not "draw on services which are free in this country, unless they are entitled to". In March 2006 and after several defeats in the House of Lords, the Identity Cards Act became law and in November 2008 the roll-out of compulsory ID cards for foreign nationals began . The scheme remained controversial and in 2009 a new Home Secretary, Alan Johnson said the cards would not be compulsory for UK citizens, however pilot schemes continued and at the end of 2009 people in Greater Manchester became the first in the UK to be able to buy a biometric ID card - at a cost of £30. By the time of the 2010 General Election around 15,000 were thought to be in circulation, but Labour lost the election and the new coalition government scrapped the project. The cards were no longer valid and the national identity register, which held the personal details of everyone issued with an identity card, including photographs and fingerprint biometrics was destroyed in 2011. Various arguments have been put forward for and against the use of ID cards . Those in favour say they provide clarity for employers, are the only way to properly deal with illegal immigration and tackle both identity and benefit fraud. It has also been suggested they could help in the fight against terrorism. Those against ID cards point to the expense of bringing in any scheme, Labour's project is said to have cost £5bn. Opponents also highlight the civil liberties concerns and what they believe is unnecessary data collection and intrusion by the state. In response to the recent scenes of thousands of migrants trying to get to the UK after crossing from North Africa and travelling through Europe, the deputy mayor of Calais, Philippe Mignonet has said the UK should introduce ID cards (and employment controls). But there's still strong opposition to the idea here. The anti-ID cards pressure group NO2ID remains in existence and is withering about the deputy mayor's suggestion. NO2ID's General Secretary Guy Herbert disagrees with the deputy mayor: "France has had ID cards for decades, but they have not stopped migrants coming to his town. "In fact though coalition rhetoric was against the Blair government's centralised scheme, the UK makes lots of demands on people to produce ID in various forms in everyday life. This is getting steadily worse, but does not seem to have made much difference to people with strong motivations to come here." And the deputy mayor of Calais is likely to be disappointed by the response from Britain's politicians too. The Shadow Immigration Minister David Hanson was in the Home Office when Labour introduced its scheme. When asked what he thought now about identity cards, he said: " I felt they were a way in which we can at least track and identify individuals but that debate has moved on... we're not going to introduce them in the near future given the capital and financial cost of doing that - what we need to do is to ensure that we have proper enforcement." The Home Office also rejected the idea, a spokesperson said: "The government has no plans to introduce ID cards in the UK." Read more: Would Calais migrants really be better off in the UK?

The deputy mayor of Calais, Philippe Mignonet wants the UK to introduce identity cards as part of efforts to deter migrants gathering at the French port and attempting to cross the channel.

Mr Hockey's appointment comes after he left politics following his removal as treasurer by Malcolm Turnbull. He had been seen as a close ally of Tony Abbott who was ousted as PM by Mr Turnbull in a party vote in September. Mr Turnbull said Mr Hockey was "a great Australian, he is one of the most engaging, persuasive people I've known in public life". "He's held very high office, he's got great contacts in the United States, he's a passionate patriot," he told Australian media. Announcing the appointment, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said Australia's relationship with the United States was the "bedrock of foreign and defence policy". Some in the Labor opposition questioned the move, citing Mr Turnbull's role in ousting Mr Abbott and Mr Hockey's departure from politics. "This is a very important posting for Australia and should be done by someone with a deep interest for foreign affairs," said deputy opposition leader Tanya Plibersek. "There is no doubt this is a captain's pick by Malcolm Turnbull," she told ABC television. Kim Beazley, who has has been Australia's ambassador to the United States since 2010, will be replaced by Mr Hockey in January.

Australia's former treasurer Joe Hockey has been named as the new ambassador to the United States.

Neither side had amassed more than 215 in an innings in the previous three Tests and India, who lead 2-0, were struggling on 66-3 and 139-6 in Delhi. But Ajinkya Rahane hit 89 not out in half-century partnerships with Virat Kohli (44) and Ravindra Jadeja (24). Recalled fast bowler Kyle Abbott (3-23) and spinner Dane Piedt (4-101) were the only South African wicket takers. Piedt, 25, playing just his second Test, took four of the first five wickets to fall, including that of Kohli whose fluent 70-run stand with Rahane was ended in bizarre fashion. The India captain, who won the toss for a fourth time, smashed a full-blooded sweep into Temba Bavuma at short-leg and after the ball ballooned into the air, wicketkeeper Dane Vilas dived forward to take the catch. That sparked a mini collapse with three wickets falling for three runs before Rahane, who hit two sixes and nine boundaries in his first half century at home, steadied the innings and took India beyond 200. Rahane was helped by Jadeja, whose 59-ball innings was ended by a smart Dean Elgar catch at midwicket off the bowling of Abbott. South African Abbott, who had earlier bowled Cheteshwar Pujara and Wriddhiman Saha, conceded just 23 runs in 17 overs to continue his push to start the four-Test series against England, which begins on 26 December in Durban.

India finished the opening day of the final Test against South Africa on 231-7 - the highest score of the series.

The apology came as an independent panel found police "sought to deflect responsibility" on to Liverpool fans. Chief Constable David Crompton has confirmed statements were altered seeking to lessen police blame. "I think that if people are shown to have acted criminally then they should face prosecution," he said. Mr Crompton made his apology after previously unseen government papers about the Hillsborough disaster in April 1989 were released. The documents indicate, for the first time, that South Yorkshire Ambulance Service documents were amended after the disaster, the panel said. The chief constable accepted they also show South Yorkshire Police (SYP) had failed the victims and families on the day of the disaster and the police lost control. "In the immediate aftermath senior officers sought to change the record of events," Mr Crompton said. "Disgraceful lies were told which blamed the Liverpool fans for the disaster. These actions have caused untold pain and distress for over 23 years. "I am profoundly sorry for the way the force failed." However, Mr Crompton said South Yorkshire Police was "a very different place in 2012" from what it was 23 years ago. David Whiting, Chief Executive of Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, said: "I sincerely apologise for the shortcomings identified in the report relating to the way in which the incident was managed in the early stages. " Sheffield City Council Chief Executive John Mothersole issued a statement in which he "sincerely apologises" for the actions of the council at the time. Clive Betts, MP for Sheffield South-East, who was at the game, said he had been "absolutely shocked" by the scale of the revelations and called for a new inquest. "To find out that 164 statements by police officers had been subsequently changed to alter what they said, to alter descriptions of the adequacy of the response to the disaster at the time, I think is really truly shocking and there are a lot of answers that still need to be found to questions raised by these findings," he said. "I think it's very clear that the initial inquest cannot stand." The panel went on to say the wrongful allegations about the fans' behaviour later printed in some newspapers, particularly The Sun, originated from "a Sheffield press agency, senior SYP officers, an SYP Police Federation spokesperson and a local MP". The panel said the Police Federation, "supported informally by the SYP Chief Constable", sought to develop and publicise a version of events derived in police officers' allegations of drunkenness, ticketless fans and violence. "The vast majority of fans on the pitch assisted in rescuing and evaluating the injured and the dead," the panel said. In a statement Sheffield Wednesday FC, whose ground hosted the fateful match, offered "sincere condolences and an apology" to all the families who suffered as a "consequence of the tragic events".

The chief constable of South Yorkshire has admitted "grave errors" were made during the Hillsborough disaster and has apologised "profoundly".

He succeeds Laurent Fabius, 69, who announced on Wednesday he was stepping down as part of a cabinet reshuffle. Mr Ayrault is, like Mr Fabius, a former prime minister, leading the government from 2012-14. The leader of the Greens, Emmanuelle Cosse, has been named housing minister, and two other Green politicians have been given junior posts. Segolene Royal - a former presidential candidate and Mr Hollande's ex-partner - has been given an expanded portfolio, becoming minister for environment, energy and the oceans, the Elysee Palace said. Mr Fabius was seen as the architect of an interventionist foreign policy that saw French troops battle militants in Mali and take part in coalition air strikes against the so-called Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq in recent years. Mr Fabius has been named to head France's Constitutional Council, which ensures bills comply with the constitution.

French President Francois Hollande has named Jean-Marc Ayrault as his new foreign minister.

Ross Thomson and Graham Simpson filled in a giant ballot paper outside Holyrood to underline their support for the Vote Leave campaign. Fellow Tory MSP Margaret Mitchell also backs Brexit, but party leader Ruth Davidson is in favour of remaining in. Meanwhile, the Scottish remain campaign highlighted how much research funding universities receive from the EU. Campaigning outside the Scottish Parliament alongside Scottish Vote Leave director and former Labour MP Tom Harris, the two newly-elected MSPs underlined their support for Brexit. Mr Thomson said that with moves towards further centralisation, "Europe is going in a direction that Britain can't follow". He said: "I think if we had a Europe where there was real reform and was focused again on our trading relationship, that's something I could have supported. But I just feel that at the moment, the direction of travel in the EU is about further political centralisation, further political union. "I've always been fairly Eurosceptic, but when the Prime Minister said he was going to have a referendum and get a better deal it was something I was really keen on, and in fairness to him he put a Herculean effort in. "But I'm concerned that there's no treaty change. I'm concerned that heads of state are temporary - if the German chancellor loses an election or isn't returned, and the same with the other heads of state, that negotiation we've achieved isn't long-term." Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has voiced support for the UK remaining in the EU, but Mr Thomson said she was "really relaxed" about her MSPs taking the opposite view. He added: "She said, 'I've made a personal decision based on my experience - I want to stay in but I respect that you and others will make their own personal decision'. "Ruth is really relaxed, saying we're going to have a grown-up, adult debate about the facts and our visions for the future, and I look forward to engaging in that properly." Meanwhile, the Scotland Stronger in Europe campaign have been highlighting the contribution the EU makes to university research funding. Writing in the Herald newspaper, Glasgow University principal Prof Anton Muscatelli said there was "unequivocal" evidence that "universities in Scotland and the UK benefit massively from our membership of the EU". He said: "Scotland's universities receive £88.8m a year from EU sources, which is about 13% of our total research funding. "This includes research to fight malaria, research on space, and vital medical research which benefits us all." Dundee University principal Prof Pete Downes has also warned of an impact on funding from Brexit, saying universities would be "impoverished" by a vote to leave the EU. Scotland Stronger in Europe spokesman John Edward said: "Being in the EU is clearly fundamental to pan-European academic collaborations and the success of Scotland's universities, which in turn underpins jobs and investment."

Two new Conservative MSPs have joined the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union.

More than 260 children had been left at the welfare home in Guangzhou since 28 January, director Xu Jiu added. Staff will continue caring for babies already at the welfare home, all of whom suffer from illnesses, Mr Xu said. China introduced the centres so parents could abandon infants safely rather than leaving them in the streets. Supporters say the baby hatches save lives, but critics say they encourage parents to abandon their children. Mr Xu announced the suspension on Sunday, saying that 262 babies had been left at the centre since the scheme began in January. "I hope everyone understands the difficulties the welfare centre faces," Mr Xu told Xinhua news agency. "We are temporarily closing the centre [to new babies] so that we can properly care for the infants already at the centre." The centre, which also cares for orphans, has 1,000 beds. However, it currently houses 1,121 babies and young people, with another 1,274 in the care of foster families, Guangzhou's Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau said. All the abandoned infants had illnesses, such as cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and congenital heart disease, the bureau added. It is thought that many parents abandon ill babies because they fear they cannot afford the medical care required. Abandoning children is illegal in China. However, authorities believe that the hatches give the infants a better chance of survival than if they were left in the street. A total of 25 baby hatches have been established in 10 provincial regions in China, Xinhua reports. Under China's strict population control policies, most couples have only been allowed to have one child and there is a strong preference for healthy baby boys. In December, China's top legislature formally adopted a resolution easing the one-child policy, allowing couples to have two children if either parent is an only child. Provinces are now determining when to relax their restrictions at a local level, with some acting already.

A baby hatch in southern China has been forced to suspend work after hundreds of infants were abandoned, overwhelming the centre, its director says.

The Somerset mill, owned by Dublin-based C&C Group whose brands include Gaymers and Blackthorn, has 127 staff. Wells MP James Heappey said: "This is a devastating blow for Shepton Mallet, the job losses are significant and that will be my first concern." Although the mill will close, fruit pulping will continue and apples will be still be sourced from local farmers. The trade union Unite has criticised the closure, describing it as "disgraceful, discourteous and Dickensian". Unite regional co-ordinating officer, Steve Preddy added: "It was only this afternoon - hours later - that the shop stewards and workers were informed that the plant was closing. "This is an unacceptable way to behave in the workplace in 2016. "We know our members work for a Dickensian and inflexible employer, which puts company profit for shareholders and company directors first and foremost." The mill currently has two full-time staff for its fruit pulping operation and up to 15 seasonal staff. The apples are sourced from around 70 growers in Somerset and Hereford, with about 40% of fruit grown in Somerset. Once the fruit is pulped it will be sent to Ireland to make cider. The mill has been operating since 1770 and is synonymous with cider production in the county but is expected to close in late summer, the union added. A closure date has not been confirmed. The Dublin-based firm also said its other site in Borrisoleigh, Tipperary would close with the loss of 54 jobs, so production and packaging would all move to Clonmel. A spokesman for the firm said: "The trading environment in the UK and Ireland has been intensely competitive over recent years. "This has led to significant downward pricing pressure and the loss of material contracts for private label water (supermarket branded mineral water)." The firm added the closures had been a "difficult decision", adding the Clonmel site was the only viable option to maintain long-term competitiveness. Conservative MP Mr Heappey, added: "Shepton Mallet is the global centre of the cider industry and we now face the real prospect of cider no longer being produced in the town and that would be an incredible shame." The trade union has said it is seeking an urgent meeting with management and what can be done to safeguard jobs there.

A cider mill is set to close with its production being moved to the Republic of Ireland, its owners have said.

Monet's later years saw him obsessively paint the lilies in his garden at Giverny, in northern France. But his artistic legacy could have looked very different had Monet's rural neighbours had their way. Local farmers wrote to the town hall to object to his plans to extend his garden in 1893. The original documents about the case were unearthed by Ann Dumas, co-curator of the Royal Academy's Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse exhibition. "There was a protest from local farmers who were very suspicious of these strange aquatic plants that Monet wanted to plant because they they would poison their water and kill their cattle," she said. Monet, who moved to Giverny in 1883, had been able to buy land on the other side of a railway line that bordered his house. It was here he wanted to create his water garden by diverting the river Epte, a tributary of the Seine. Dumas said Monet acquired planning permission for his garden "after a lot of difficulty". "The farmers were suspicious of Monet anyway," she added. "He kept himself to himself so they saw him as an outsider. When they got wind that he wanted to make a water garden they complained." The Royal Academy show, which opens next year, looks at the role of gardens in the paintings of Monet and his contemporaries. Its 120 works span the early 1860s to the 1920s. Alongside 35 paintings by Monet will be works by Paul Klee, Emil Nolde, Gustav Klimt and Wassily Kandinsky. "It will be a show that will be both popular and scholarly," said Tim Marlow, the RA's artistic director. "It isn't just a Monet show - though he is a central figure - and it isn't just an Impressionist show. It involves a whole range of late 19th Century and early 20th-Century artists." One of the highlights will be Monet's water lily Agapanthus Triptych of 1916 - 1919 - the first time the monumental triptych has been seen in the UK. "Monet thought of himself as a better gardener then he was a painter," said Dumas. "Not everybody knows what a serious and knowledgeable gardener and horticulturalist Monet was." Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse will run at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, US from 11 October 2015 - 5 January 2016 and then at the Royal Academy of Arts, London 30 January - 20 April 2016.

A new garden-themed art exhibition will tell the intriguing story about Claude Monet and the famous water lily pond that inspired his best-known works.

The South American country will be the first in the world to legally sell the drug over the counter for recreational use. The move was set in motion in 2013 with a law that fully legalised the cannabis trade. However, it has been a slow process to put the law into practice. "Cannabis will be dispensed in pharmacies starting in the month of July," presidential aide Juan Andres Roballo told a press conference. The law requires buyers to sign up to a national registry, which Mr Roballo said would be up and running by 2 May. The price will be US$1.30 (£1) per gram. Registrants - who must be Uruguayan citizens or permanent residents - can purchase up to a maximum of 40 grams (1.4 ounces) per month. The marijuana sold will come from state-supervised fields. The law also allows users to grow their own at home, or join cooperative clubs that farm it. Many pharmacists have doubted the financial benefits of selling a cost-controlled product. Some Uruguayan buyers were also reluctant to sign up to a national registry, complaining of the invasion of their privacy and of having to keep to the monthly limits. The government has now done a deal with 16 pharmacies, but it hopes to sign up more. Mr Roballo said there would be a public health campaign before the registry was opened. He also said the government was not close to covering the predicted demand, but it does not believe there will be "an avalanche of users" signing up,

Uruguay will begin selling cannabis in pharmacies from July, the final stage in the country's pioneering regularisation of the drug.

The Labour leader told the New Statesman his party opposed government plans to lower the overall household cap, introduced in the last Parliament. And his spokesman confirmed he was "very much in favour" of getting rid of it altogether. The Conservatives said Labour wanted a return to "unlimited welfare handouts". The BBC's Carole Walker said Mr Corbyn was asserting his authority on what was a "very difficult issue" for the party. After Mr Corbyn told the TUC conference last week he wanted to "remove the whole idea of the benefit cap", Owen Smith, his shadow work and pensions secretary, said it was "very clear" Labour was only opposing plans to reduce the limit of working-age benefits to £20,000, and to £23,000 in London. In an interview with the BBC's Newsnight, Mr Smith acknowledged the principle of a welfare cap had wide public support and it would be "foolhardy" for Labour to set themselves "unthinkingly" against public opinion. But Mr Corbyn told the New Statesman the cap was responsible for "social cleansing" in his Islington North constituency, with people forced to leave their homes because they could not afford their rent. "It's devastating for children, devastating for the family and very bad for the community as a whole," he added. His spokesman said Mr Corbyn had "laid out his position" and the policy would now go through a "collective decision-making process". Speaking on Wednesday, Mr Smith said the party leader had "clearly signalled that he wants Labour to review and refresh our thinking on social security, especially in respect of the benefit cap, and that's a challenge I know the entire party will rise to in the months ahead". Before Mr Corbyn was elected leader, the party was split over the Welfare Reform and Work Bill, which will reduce the cap to £20,000 outside of London, and £23,000 in London. In July, 48 Labour MPs rebelled against the decision by the then interim leader Harriet Harman to abstain and instead voted against the bill. The Conservative Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said "chaos and confusion" surrounded Labour's position. "Conservatives believe that nobody should be able to claim more in welfare than the average family earns by going out to work," he said. "By pledging to reverse this position, it's clear that today's Labour Party are simply not on the side of working people. They are still the same old welfare party - wanting to borrow more to spend more on benefits." In his interview, Mr Corbyn also said scrapping the Trident nuclear weapons system would become Labour Party policy if its conference votes for the change next week. Conferences votes are not technically binding on the party leadership. But asked whether scrapping Trident would become party policy if conference votes for it, Mr Corbyn said: "Well, it would be, of course, because it would have been passed at conference."

Jeremy Corbyn has reaffirmed his desire to scrap the welfare cap after differences with his shadow cabinet, calling the policy "devastating".

Mr Jammeh has been given until noon on Friday to leave office or be forced out by UN-backed regional forces. Troops have been told to halt their advance until the deadline passes. The Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) is acting in support of Adama Barrow, who was sworn in as the new Gambian president on Thursday. His legitimacy as president, after winning last month's election, has been recognised internationally. Last-ditch mediation talks, led by Guinea's President Alpha Conde, are due on Friday morning. Chairman of the Ecowas commission, Marcel Alain de Souza, said that if the meeting with Mr Conde proved unsuccessful, militarily action would follow. "If by midday, he [Mr Jammeh] doesn't agree to leave The Gambia under the banner of President Conde, we really will intervene militarily," he said. Ecowas said that its forces had encountered no resistance after entering The Gambia on Thursday. Troops from Senegal and other West African countries crossed into The Gambia after an initial deadline for Mr Jammeh to stand down passed with his resignation. Mr Barrow, who remains in Senegal, has said that he will not return to Gambia's capital, Banjul, until the military operation had ended. The threat by the West African regional bloc Ecowas to remove Mr Jammeh by force is supported by the 15-member UN Security Council, although the council has stressed that a political solution should be the priority. A Senegalese army spokesman, Col Abdou Ndiaye, told the BBC that troops who were now in The Gambia were prepared to fight if necessary. "It is already war, if we find any resistance, we will fight it," he said, adding: "If there are people who are fighting for the former president, we will fight them." But Col Ndiaye said the main goal of Ecowas was to restore democracy and to allow the newly-elected president to take power. In his inaugural speech at the Gambian embassy in Senegal's capital, Dakar, President Barrow ordered all members of The Gambia's armed forces to remain in their barracks. Any found found illegally bearing arms would be considered "rebels", he said. After first accepting defeat he reversed his position and said he would not step down. He declared a 90-day state of emergency, blaming irregularities in the electoral process. The electoral commission accepted that some of its early results had contained errors but said they would not have affected Mr Barrow's win. Mr Jammeh has said he will stay in office until new elections are held. Remaining in power would also give him protection against prosecution for alleged abuses committed during his rule.

West African leaders have given Yahya Jammeh a final opportunity to relinquish power after Senegalese troops entered The Gambia.

Turner, 32, recently retired after a 15-year career, winning 763 races. In 2008 she became the first female British jockey to ride 100 UK Flat winners in a year. "It's nice for the girls putting in the effort and hard work that they can see there's light at the end of the tunnel," she told BBC Radio 5 live. "It shows what they are working hard for is achievable." She added: "It is more difficult for women, they need to train harder because men are physically stronger." Turner rode two Group One winners at the highest level in Britain during her career, but suffered a number of injuries. She credited the support of trainer Michael Bell for giving her the opportunity to race when she was an apprentice. "I find with my job it has to be all or nothing," she added. "You cannot pick and choose and have the odd day off. "I have had so many thrills and had fun and loved every minute and feel the time is now right to try something different."

Hayley Turner, Britain's most successful female jockey, believes her career has helped inspire other women to progress in the sport.

The SFA's performance director has been conducting a review since taking over from Mark Wotte. Across the seven schools involved throughout Scotland, 374 children receive up to 10 hours a week specialised coaching as part of their everyday studies. "There's been a lot of time invested in this project by a lot of people and we're looking at how we continue to improve the programme as we travel through the years," McClair told BBC Scotland. The project is now in its fourth year, with this year's intake of pupils the final one of the initial scheme. McClair will decide in the coming months whether it will continue in its current format once an analysis of how it is working has been concluded. Alternatives could include certificating the programme to award pupils a Higher qualification for completing the course or focusing on a smaller group of children at one single, residential campus rather than the seven schools involved just now. At the very least, the current system will continue until this year's S1 pupils have completed fourth year. Gauging its success thus far is tricky, with the oldest participants still only in S4, but McClair believes there are some good indicators. "I think you can be encouraged by the number of young people who have been in the performance schools who have been in the younger representative squads over the last three-and-a-bit years and the evidence suggests that will continue," he added. "By summertime I think it'll be a half-decent measure of the number of young boys who are being offered the opportunity to go into full-time football, although I believe that's changing a little bit in the sense that it's 16 or 17 that some clubs are looking at taking them in full-time. "The idea's great. Many clubs in England have taken it on board - getting kids in during the day, giving them more opportunities to practise the disciplines involved in football. "The evidence is all there that they're improving quicker than they were previously under a hybrid programme where all the coaching was taking place in the evening or at weekends." The other important gauge of success is academic achievement. Exam results will not be available from the SFA project until this summer, but Graeme High School in Falkirk ran a pilot scheme - of which Craig Sibbald and Celtic youngster Paul McMullan are graduates - that allows for some analysis. "Last year we had a group of 14 or 15 and the vast majority were highly successful, able pupils, one with five Highers, two with four Highers, three with three Highers and a suite of other academic achievements," headteacher Lesley Carroll told BBC Scotland. "Most of them have gone on to professional clubs but they have got a fallback position. They have been some of our top-performing academic pupils too because not only do they have to be elite athlete footballers, they have to have what the SFA would call a growth mindset. "They're not afraid of targets, hard work, commitment, drive and confidence." Indeed, Carroll believes there is an argument the programme helps the performance school students achieve better results in their other subjects, though she admits no "real forensic research has been done into that". But it will be the level of footballing development that determines exactly how McClair and the SFA proceed in terms of their future performance strategy.

Brian McClair says he's "very encouraged" by the work being done in the Scottish Football Association's performance schools as he considers a future strategy for the game.

The Tennis Integrity Unit said Lindahl plotted to throw a match at a minor Australian tournament in 2013. Two other Australian players, Brandon Walkin and Isaac Frost, were also disciplined over the incident. It comes days after Australian Open junior champion Oliver Anderson was charged with match-fixing. Last year, a joint BBC/Buzzfeed investigation alleged the TIU failed to act on suspicions that 16 top-50 ranked players have been involved in match-fixing. Lindahl, 28, achieved a career-high ranking of 187 in singles before retiring in 2013. The TIU, which is responsible for policing tennis, said the offence happened at the Australian F6 Tournament in Toowoomba, Queensland. "He was found guilty of charges of contriving or attempting to contrive the outcome of an event, and failing to co-operate with a TIU investigation," it said in a statement. The penalty means Lindahl will not be able to resume his international playing career or attend official tennis events for seven years, the TIU said. He had already been fined A$1,000 by a court in New South Wales last year. Walkin, 22, was handed a six-month suspension for "passing a corrupt proposal to another party" on behalf of Lindahl. But the 1,066-ranked player is free to compete after his penalty was suspended for six months, subject to further breaches. Frost, 28 and ranked 1,515, refused to hand over his mobile phone during the investigation. He will not be further penalised after serving a provisional suspension between October 2013 and September 2014.

Australian former tennis player Nick Lindahl has been banned for seven years and fined $35,000 (£28,000; A$47,700) for match-fixing.

Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the two sides "disagree on the facts, the narrative and the responsibilities" on Ukraine. Relations between Russia and the West have been tense since Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in 2014. Russia's envoy also criticised Nato for a military exercise in the Baltic. Wednesday's talks in Brussels ran more than 90 minutes over schedule. "Many allies disagree when Russia tries to portray [the Ukraine conflict] as a civil war," Mr Stoltenberg told a new conference. "This is Russia destabilising eastern Ukraine, providing support for the separatists, munitions, funding, equipment and also command and control." He added: "Nato and Russia have profound and persistent differences. Today's meeting did not change that." Mr Stoltenberg said it was important to keep channels of communication open "to discuss our differences and to reduce the risk of military incidents". He also said that the two sides had agreed on the importance of implementing the Minsk peace agreement, which has produced a fragile truce in eastern Ukraine. Russia's envoy to Nato, Alexander Grushko, said a US guided-missile destroyer had sailed near the Russian port of Kaliningrad last week in an attempt "to exercise military pressure on Russia". "We will take all necessary measures, precautions to compensate these attempts to use military force," he said. In last week's incident, two Russian warplanes flew close to the US destroyer almost a dozen times in international waters in the Baltic Sea. US officials described it as "an aggressive act". The Nato-Russia Council was established in 2002. Although meetings at ambassadorial level have not taken place since June 2014, there has been other political dialogue. Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of covertly backing the rebels who now control much of eastern Ukraine. Russia strongly denies the claims. Nato has since moved to bolster its forces in its east European member states to counter what it says is a Russian military build-up. Russia has described Nato's increasing presence in eastern Europe as a threat to its national security.

Differences over the conflict in eastern Ukraine have marked the first formal meeting of the Nato-Russia Council in almost two years.

Christina Grant's family, who live in New South Wales, flew her to Australia following the death of her son and carer, Robert, in February 2015. Her family believed they had met the requirements of her visa, which expires later this month. Immigration officials said they had been working with the family and made no arrangements to remove Mrs Grant. However, the grandmother's family told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme that they had not found Australia's immigration department helpful and had gone to specialists for assistance. They could apply for a new visa but were told that this could take 30 years to resolve. The Grant family had hoped that because of her age and state of her heath that her situation might be treated a special case. Mrs Grant's surviving son Allan and his wife Diane believe they have done everything to meet the rules of her visa after she moved to live with them in Australia. Mrs Grant is booked on a flight back to the UK on 26 July, the date her visitor visa expires. Her family told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme that the alternatives were the possibility of deportation or "years of limbo" while trying to obtain a new visa. Mrs Grant, who is partially sighted and has dementia, was living near Grantown on Spey in the Highlands. Her son Robert had been helping to look after her. Because of the state of her health, Allan and Diane asked her to move to Australia and live with them. They applied for a visa for her to come to Australia. A condition of her visa was that she had to depart Australia once every 12 months but could return. Concerned that Mrs Grant was not fit enough to fly out of Australia to meet this requirement, her family booked her on a cruise to Vanuatu, a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean. They believed that this trip would meet the visa requirements. However, after the cruise the Grants were told by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection that the visa rules had not been met. Diane told Good Morning Scotland that immigration specialists had told the family that applying for a new visa could take up to 30 years to come through. They are now preparing to fly with Mrs Grant back to Scotland. Diane said: "We will have to help her find a home over there. "We have our own life here in Australia and, while I don't want to live there, Mum wants to live here." The Grants have highlighted their case in an effort to alert other families that may find themselves in the same situation. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection said all visitors to Australia must hold a valid visa for the duration of their stay and comply with the conditions of that visa. A spokesperson said: "The department is familiar with Ms Grant's case and is not making any arrangements to remove her from Australia. "The tourist stream visitor visa is normally valid for stays of up to 12 months and, as with all visitor visas, is designed to facilitate temporary visits to Australia rather than long-term stays or residence. "Conscious of her circumstances, the department has been working with Ms Grant to resolve her visa status, since her visitor visa expired. "Ms Grant has no current visa applications with the department."
