The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said it followed an incident at Melbury Lodge, Royal Hampshire County Hospital. In December 2015 a patient sustained serious injuries during a fall from a low roof at the Winchester hospital run by Southern Health. The CQC said the alleged offence by the trust was failing to provide safe care and treatment to a service user. Melbury Lodge treats people with severe mental health problems. The case is expected to be heard later in the year by Basingstoke Magistrates' Court.

"It would be a fundamental forward step for Wales," said South and Mid Wales Chambers of Commerce president Liz Maher. Meanwhile, a business confidence plan and a £5m jobs and growth fund have been announced by First Minister Carwyn Jones, as a response to Brexit. He hosted an extraordinary meeting of the Council for Economic Renewal. It brought together business leaders, the TUC and senior politicians to discuss the impact of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. It was set-up in response to the financial crisis and meets around three times a year. This was thought to be its first extraordinary meeting. Prime Minister Theresa May has already met with Mr Jones and says Wales and the other devolved nations will have a role to play in negotiations. The first minister said the Welsh Government wanted to assure businesses and inward investors that Wales remains open for business. "The EU referendum result has created uncertainty and instability which can damage business confidence and have a longer-term impact on jobs and investment," he said. Mr Jones is allocating £5m to the new Growth and Prosperity Fund to ensure the economy continued to grow and Wales continued to be an attractive destination for investment. "These actions will support Welsh businesses looking to grow and increase the number and scale of Welsh-based companies that are exporting," he said. "We will also be engaging with businesses about how we can support them and promoting Wales with potential inward investors." Ms Maher said EU funding and the labour skills gap, which would influence future immigration policy, were some of the issues which needed answering in Wales. "There's such a long way to go but there are opportunities there," said Ms Maher. She said as well as stability for the economy there needed to be action and the taskforce would bring together the "huge amount of experience" and specialist knowledge from business. The business confidence plan - outlined by Economy and Infrastructure Secretary Ken Skates - includes discussing what support Finance Wales could bring and also bringing forward a plan for export support. The Welsh Government is also planning an all-age apprenticeship programme and a campaign to support tourist businesses. Details on how to apply to the Growth and Prosperity Fund will be available shortly. The leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies called for a "spirit of conciliation". He said: "Today's calls for a taskforce to deal with Brexit are sensible, but the first minister needs to reach out to people from both sides of the referendum campaign. "Brexit presents Wales with significant opportunities and poses questions that could be best answered by a diverse range of voices - not just a chorus of politicians who opposed leaving the EU."

Police said "a number of weapons" were seized following the attack at a rural property in Devon. The 24-year-old victim was treated at the scene on Saturday and has now been transferred to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Leo Michaels, aged 35, from Hensford Road, Dawlish, has been charged with attempted murder and wounding with intent. Mr Michaels appeared at Torquay Magistrates' Court earlier and was remanded in custody. He is due to appear at Exeter Crown Court on 18 August. Police were called to a property off Hensford Road, Dawlish at 08:00 BST on Saturday, following reports of a man with a crossbow. They said the victim, from Dawlish, had "injuries consistent with being shot with a crossbow" and he was initially taken to Torbay District Hospital.

Shaun Murphy, 38, died in hospital after was he was found injured in Greenbrow Road, Wythenshawe on Saturday. A 23-year-old man is in custody for questioning, Greater Manchester Police said. Det Ch Insp Jane Higham said: "This investigation is still in it's early stages and we are continuing to follow a number of lines of inquiry."

Laura Whitford decorated the centre of Royston with colourful nets and bunting to publicise a craft fair on Saturday. The nets have been thrown on to a roof and into trees almost every day since she put them up on Sunday night. However, Mrs Whitford put her story online and said so many people saw it, everyone "now knows about the fair". She and her friend Anne Walls crocheted covers for bollards in the centre of town and a large net to cover the Royse Stone - a landmark that used to contain a cross, and which gives the town its name. They put them up, together with crocheted bunting "under cover of darkness, like all good guerrilla knitters and yarn bombers do", she said. However, on Monday morning they were gone. Mrs Whitford posted "missing" notices on local Facebook group pages. The items mysteriously reappeared that afternoon. On Tuesday, the nets were discovered strewn on the pavement and thrown into trees. They were retrieved and returned to their rightful positions. The following day the stone cover was spotted on the roof of a bank. Staff from a nearby pub brought out a stepladder and retrieved the cover for Mrs Whitford. However, it has happened again, she said. "They're back in the trees, but frankly that's where they're going to stay until the fair." Mrs Whitford added: "Actually, I'd like to thank the vandals because they really have done me a huge favour, and this whole saga of missing netting has given the fair more publicity than I ever could."

It could see Spotify register shares on a stock exchange and become a publicly listed company without raising new cash, the Wall Street Journal reported. Shares would be traded on the day of listing, with the price based on supply and demand, rather than new investors buying shares the day before trading. Spotify declined to comment. A direct listing would save the music service the underwriting fees needed to launch an initial public offering (IPO), and would avoid diluting the value of existing stakes in the company. It could also sidestep a surge in first-day trading that often takes place after an IPO, which can signal that a company undervalued its newly issued shares. The tactic, though rare, is usually used by smaller companies that do not expect high levels of trading in their stock. A direct listing of a company is "basically just sticking it on eBay", says CMC Markets senior market analyst Michael Hewson. Whereas with an IPO new investors can buy shares from existing investors the day before trading begins, with a direct listing investors buy shares on the open market on the day they are listed for the going rate. Very rare. "No-one does it," says Mr Hewson. Normally firms use an IPO as an opportunity to make lots of cash. In general, IPOs can also cost a fair chunk of money, and, crucially for Spotify, they can take a lot of time to set up. An IPO needs an investment bank or banks to underwrite an issue of new stock. Underwriting often amounts to the bank buying new stock to resell after the company floats. The bank also looks at the company as part of the process for setting a reasonable initial offer price for the shares. The underwriters "build a book" - that is, they go to institutional investors to gauge the appetite for the shares in the company that's going to be floated. Fund managers say how many shares they want and the price they would be willing to pay, and the level of this demand is one of the factors used to set the initial offer price. All of this to-ing and fro-ing eats up cash and time - and for Spotify, the clock is ticking. In March last year, the firm raised $1bn from investors at an interest rate of 5% a year, plus a discount of 20% on shares once they list. But under the terms of the agreement, the interest rate goes up by one percentage point and the discount by 2.5 percentage points every six months until the shares are listed. So as time ticks by, Spotify has to pay more to its creditors, and give them more of a discount on shares. As well as being a faster process, direct listing also means fewer regulatory hurdles, and it helps keeps expectations about share prices in check. Spotify, which last year issued a $1bn (£801m) convertible bond, was publicly valued at $8.5bn (£6.8bn) in 2015. The Swedish firm was founded more than a decade ago and now has more than 50 million paying subscribers. This week it also signed a new long-term licensing deal with Universal Music Group, the world's largest record label. Spotify includes TPG and Goldman Sachs among its major investors.

Payne, 27, who needed a top-10 finish to qualify for Rio, clocked one hour 58 minutes and 58.53 seconds in Kazan. Aurelie Muller of France finished 49.3 secs faster to take gold, ahead of Dutchwoman Sharon Van Rouwendaal and Brazil's Ana Chunha, who was third. "It's not the result I wanted, but it's not the end," Payne told BBC Sport. The two-time world champion and team-mate Danielle Huskisson, who was 35th, will have a second opportunity to qualify for Rio at the Olympic qualification event in Portugal in June next year. Fellow Briton Jack Burnell secured his place in Rio by finishing fifth in the men's event on Monday. Payne, the 2008 Beijing Olympic silver medallist, had been undecided about whether to continue in the sport after finishing fourth at London 2012. "I've only been back in full-time training for a year and maybe I've raced too much or too little," she told BBC Sport. "I'm technically old at 27 in the sport, but am still learning and trying out new things all of the time so I think there's a lot to build on from here." Huskisson will battle Payne for the sole position Britain can now attain for the women's 10km race at the Rio Olympics and believes officials can do more to ensure fairer competition. "Most of the girls seem to think it's rugby rather than open water swimming," said Huskisson, who received a yellow card whilst trying to maintain position. "There are definitely favoured swimmers, but there's nothing you can do but go out and swim as hard as you can, which I'll continue to do."

Sir Philip had put a "substantial" recovery plan in place to resolve the deficit in pension schemes at Top Shop owner Arcadia, Mr Field said. However, the original fix for the BHS scheme had been "inadequate", he said. Sir Philip owned BHS for 15 years before selling it in March 2015. It was bought for £1 by Dominic Chappell, a former bankrupt with little experience in retailing, and went into administration a year later. There followed a lengthy and often rancorous investigation by the Work and Pensions Committee into the handling of the BHS pension fund. Sir Philip promised to "sort" the problem and after months of negotiations with the Pensions Regulator, he agreed, in February, to pay £363m to bolster the BHS scheme. The Work and Pensions Committee also sought information about the pension schemes of Arcadia, the owner of Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge, and controlled by Sir Philip. Over the weekend, documents published by the committee showed that Arcadia had a deficit in its pension schemes of almost £565m in March 2016. That is up from almost £456m, when the previous assessment was made in March 2013. To address that shortfall Arcadia has doubled its annual contribution to the two main funds to £50m. "This is a credible plan for tackling a giant deficit and great news for Arcadia pensioners who must have been concerned," said Mr Field. "It is though clear from these figures that Sir Philip was long favouring the Arcadia schemes over their BHS counterparts, which have more members," he said. In 2012, while BHS was under the ownership of Sir Philip, a 23-year plan to fix the pension deficit was agreed. Mr Field described that plan as "ludicrous" and contrasted it with a 13-year recovery plan for Arcadia pension schemes, which included much bigger contributions to cover the deficit. "I imagine Sir Philip would say that Arcadia could afford it because it was profitable, whereas BHS was not," Mr Field said. Sir Philip has not responded to Mr Field's comments.

Butchart's time of 13 minutes 13.30 seconds ensured a second Olympic qualifying standard. He must finish in the top two at the British Championships in Birmingham next month to make the Games in Rio. "Getting the second Olympic qualifier was the priority," Butchart told Scottish Athletics. "Now I can go to Birmingham with the pressure off in terms of chasing the time." Butchart beat Muir's record, which had stood for 36 years, by over four seconds. "I didn't think about (the record) in California a couple of weeks ago when I went close but my coach and I did say last week that if the race in Holland was as fast as we thought it might be, then there may well be a chance to PB and take the record," added Butchart. "Others can still spoil the party for me, I guess, but I definitely think that for the likes of myself, we've take away one of the barriers. "The race was fast and I knew with about 800m to go that I'd get the national record. It wasn't the worst feeling in the world, I must admit!" Butchart was troubled on the last lap of his race by loose laces in his spikes, eventually kicking one shoe off and completing his record-breaking run. "Before you ask, I had them tied properly - nice and tight - at the start," he said. "But it was wet and the rain seemed to loosen them as the race went on. It wasn't quite like running in flip-flops but it was getting to be a problem. "With 400m to go I looked down and the right shoe was completely loose and my heel was in danger of coming free. I just had to kick that one off and away and get on with it. I was thinking, this isn't the best time for this to be happening. "But you just get on with things, don't you? Lots of things can happen in athletics and you have to try and stay focused." Earlier on Sunday, Eilish McColgan ran 15.16.51 in her 5000m race to finish sixth and earn a second Olympic standard. Josephine Moultrie was in the same race and clocked 16.05 for 11th place. Steph Twell raced in the 1500m and recorded 4.10.90 for seventh place. There were sixth places for Allan Smith and Guy Learmonth in the high jump (2.15m) and 800m (1.47.23). Meanwhile, in Rabat, Lynsey Sharp went to the top of the British rankings with her first 800m outdoor run of the season, clocking 1.59.51 to finish fifth.

Luke Robertson, 30, had hoped to begin his journey - entitled Due South - two weeks ago but he was delayed by adverse weather. Mr Robertson, who decided to undertake the challenge after surviving brain surgery, is raising money for charity. If all goes to plan, he will spend Christmas on the South Pole. Unassisted and unsupported, he will receive no outside help such as a re-supply by air, and no support from animals or vehicles. In an interview last month with the BBC, Mr Robertson - who also has a pacemaker fitted - said his final preparations for the South Pole attempt included eating "three hot dogs a day" so he would put on some weight. It is estimated he will consume 6,500 calories each day, but burn off about 10,000. The 30-year-old, who is from just outside Stonehaven, will drag 110kg (17 stone) of his equipment across 730 miles of snow and ice for about 35 days, experiencing temperatures of -50C and winds of 100mph. Every day, he will consume packets of freeze-dried food - ranging from Thai chicken to spaghetti carbonara - which he will cook on a stove. Mr Robertson has already managed to raise over £34,000 for Marie Curie, exceeding an initial target of £25,000 which he had hoped to achieve by the end of the journey to the South Pole. After arriving on Antarctica two weeks ago, Mr Robertson was delayed as adverse weather delayed his final departure to the starting point of Hercules Inlet. A break in the weather allowed the finance worker to finally make the journey on Saturday. Readers can follow his progress on social media, and also track his movements on his website.

Bennie Hart says the point of the plate is to show the impossibility of disproving anyone's claim to being God. But transport chiefs in the religiously conservative state ruled that it might distract other drivers and would be in bad taste. Civil liberties campaigners have taken up Mr Hart's legal case. He says he had the same number plate when he lived in the state of Ohio for 12 years without any problems. "I simply want the same opportunity to select a personal message for my licence plate just as any other driver," said Mr Hart, who lives in Kenton County, northern Kentucky. "There is nothing obscene or vulgar about my view that religious beliefs are subject to individual interpretation." The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky (ACLU-KY) and the Freedom From Religion Foundation have filed a lawsuit on Mr Hart's behalf against state transportation secretary Greg Thomas on grounds of free speech. ACLU-KY Legal Director William Sharp said that under the US First Amendment, government officials "do not have the authority to censor messages simply because they dislike them". "And in this instance, personalised licence plates are a form of individual speech equally deserving of First Amendment protection," he said. Kentucky transport authorities declined to comment on the case.

The woman, 24, stopped breathing during a procedure at a clinic in Bangkok on Thursday, an official said. A doctor, Sompob Sansiri, has been charged with recklessly causing the woman's death and bailed, police said. The Foreign Office said it had been informed of the death and was "ready to provide consular assistance". The patient, who has not been named, was having minor corrective surgery to her back after a previous operation, officers said. The director general of Thailand's health service support department, Boonruang Triruangworawat, said attempts had been made to revive the woman when she stopped breathing. She was under anaesthesia when she died, Thai police said. The Thai Ministry of Health said it would file a charge of operating an unlicensed clinic because the facility was not licensed to operate at night. The SP Clinic has been shut down for 60 days while the death is investigated.

Peter Whittle said he would back Paul Nuttall as "a leader who knows the party inside out and who can command the loyalty" of all members. Former deputy leader Mr Nuttall, former deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans and ex- soldier John Rees-Evans remain in the contest, to be decided on 28 November. Raheem Kassam also withdrew from the contest on Monday. In a message on Facebook, Mr Whittle said Thursday's High Court ruling, which found that the government could not trigger Article 50 - the formal process of leaving the EU - without consulting Parliament, showed that "the battle to ensure that the Leave vote in the referendum is respected is far from over and UKIP is needed more than ever". Mr Whittle, the party's culture spokesman and a former London mayoral candidate, added that the "sheer breadth of Paul's political experience, his dedication to the values of the party and the obvious affection in which he is held by members make him the person who is best placed to take us forward". Nigel Farage is back as interim leader after his successor Diane James quit just 18 days into the job. Mr Kassam, a former aide to Mr Farage, had endorsed Mr Whittle after himself pulling out of the race.

Mansfield 103.2 has reportedly been targeted eight times in the past month. Outside broadcasts are being hijacked and replaced with The Winker's Song by comedy band Ivor Biggun. The station said attempts to catch the culprit had so far failed and some listeners had complained "their children have started humming the song". Station manager Tony Delahunty said the latest occasion was on Sunday when a live interview from the town's Party in the Market event was interrupted by a male voice shouting, then the song playing. He said: "We have had calls from people who have found it hilarious, while some have raised their concerns, including our competitors, and a lot of people in the industry are aghast at how difficult it is to stop these people. "For listeners under the age of 11 travelling to school, it can be a very offensive thing for them to hear, so I just want it to stop. "But I would also love to see who it is and have them caught." "There's absolutely nothing we can do," he continued. "The first time we reported it to the police, but they said they would have to catch him in the act. Our transmitter people can't do anything because the person is using a mobile transmitter." Ivor Biggun is fronted by Robert "Doc" Cox, best known for his appearances on BBC TV's That's Life programme. The band has released four albums of double-entendre filled songs. Mr Delahunty said communications regulator Ofcom had tried to track the offender on three occasions but had so far also been unsuccessful. A spokesperson said: "Ofcom takes malicious radio interference extremely seriously. "Our Spectrum Engineering Officers are working closely with Mansfield 103.2 to trace and identify those responsible for these criminal activities." They added maliciously causing interference was a criminal act that carries a maximum punishment of two years' imprisonment and an unlimited fine.

A new study by Cancer Research UK found that more than a third of Scots ate confectionary at least once a day. It warned that being overweight was the single biggest cause of preventable cancer after smoking. The Scottish government said it was committed to tackling obesity. Thirteen types of cancer, including bowel, breast and pancreatic, are linked to a person's weight, according to Cancer Research UK. The charity said its research revealed that 39% of Scots consumed confectionery at least once a day and almost a fifth (18%) of Scots have a soft drink which contained sugar at least once a day. About two-thirds (65%) of adults in Scotland and more than one quarter (28%) of children were found to be overweight or obese. The findings, for Cancer Research UK's Scale Down Cancer campaign, were based on a YouGov survey of 3,293 UK adults, 513 in Scotland, carried out between 24 February and 8 March 2016. Cancer Research UK is calling on the Scottish government to act to make it easier to shop healthily and improve the diets of Scots. The charity's cancer prevention expert Professor Linda Bauld, who is based at the University of Stirling, said: "Scotland's sweet tooth is a huge worry for the health of the nation. "Sugar should form no more than 5% of our diet but, on average, both adults and children in Scotland consume much more than this. "Too much sugar in our diet can lead to weight gain - which is not just linked to cancer, but also the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and tooth decay. "If left unchecked, obesity will lead to a rising tide in ill health, including cancers, and become a crippling burden on the NHS." The charity said foods on promotion accounted for about 40% of all expenditure on food and drink consumed at home. It wants restrictions on supermarket multi-buy discounts on foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt to form part of measures in the expected Scottish government strategy to improve diets. The charity said half (52%) of adults in Scotland had a ready meal once a week or more and 16% eat fast food or a takeaway at least once a week. Prof Bauld added: "The Scottish government can, and must, do more to make it easier to shop healthily and serve up a better future for our young people. We need urgent action now to prevent thousands of cancers in the future." Food Standards Scotland said it supported the charity's call for action but it cautioned that there was no "single silver bullet" to Scotland's obesity problem. Its head of nutrition science and policy, Heather Peace, said: "We all need to recognise there is a problem and everyone, including consumers, the food and drink industry, retailers, media and government has a part to play in finding a solution." Public Health Minister Aileen Campbell said: "We are committed to tackling Scotland's obesity problems and will consult on our new diet and obesity strategy this year, building on our wide range of activity to make it easier for people to be more active, eat less and eat better. "We're investing £12m over five years to 2017 on a range of programmes to specifically tackle the nation's poor diet, including engaging with the food and drink industry on action to offer healthier choices, rebalance promotions, and reformulate products with a focus on reducing calories, salt, fats and added sugar."

Academics from Edinburgh and Essex universities commissioned a survey of several thousand voters. The results indicated that just 3.4% of "No" voters saw "The Vow" as the main motivation for their decision. A spokesman for the SNP said polling immediately after the September vote produced a different result. The new research by the Centre on Constitutional Change found the biggest factor identified by opponents of independence in making their decision was "feeling British/believe in the Union", cited by 29.5%. Other factors highlighted included: Factors identified by Yes voters in explaining their defeat included: Report co-author Ailsa Henderson, of the University of Edinburgh, said: "There is clearly a divergence between the perception among Yes voters that the offer of more powers was an important aspect of the campaign and reality of how No voters reached their decision. "The issue of 'more powers' is not cited as the main reason for voting No. "However, Yes voters are convinced it caused a loss of nerve leading to support for the Union." Her colleague Dr Rob Johns, of the University of Essex, added: "The trajectory of opinion during the campaign suggests that the drift back to No predated the famous 'Vow' on the Daily Record's front cover. "It is not unusual for a misleading narrative to develop about what swung an election or referendum. According to our data, anyone who thinks 'it was the Vow wot won it' is exaggerating, to say the least. "However, once these narratives develop, they can be hard to shift. We may well see the effect of this one when voters turn out for the general election in May." YouGov questioned 4,849 people between 22 August and 17 September, 2014. They surveyed another 3,719 people from 22 to 26 September. Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont said: "All three pro-UK parties came up with plans for a more powerful Scottish Parliament before the referendum and, whoever is in power after the general election, those powers will be delivered to make Holyrood a more responsible and accountable parliament. "Contrary to Alex Salmond's bluster, we have all been good to our word on delivering these powers." A Scottish Labour spokesman commented: "While it is interesting to carry out these academic exercises, at the end of the day a substantial majority of the electorate voted to stay part of the UK." A spokesman for the SNP said: "While we were disappointed with the result of the referendum, this study shows that a clear legacy has been greater political involvement, particularly amongst young people, and that is something to be proud of. "Polling conducted immediately after the referendum showed that a quarter of No voters regarded the promise of extra powers as important in informing their decision - and nearly 10% of No voters only made up their mind in the last week. "Undoubtedly, the Westminster parties published the Vow because all of their information indicated that it would have a big impact on the result."

Right-back Hodgkiss, 30, who spent last season on loan at Torquay, has signed a two-year contract. Forward Wilson, 24, has agreed a one-year contract. Meanwhile, George Pilkington has signed a new one-year contract, while David Fitzpatrick has also agreed a deal with the National League club. The announcement comes after Macclesfield, who finished ninth last season, lost defender John McCombe to Chester and midfielder Ollie Norburn to Tranmere. Askey, who is in his second spell with the club, having also managed the Silkmen between 2003 and 2004, has extended his stay for another season. "John's loyalty to the club, in a number of roles, is unrivalled and we continue to progress under his leadership," Macclesfield chairman Mark Blower told the club website.

She said the offer of taking 20,000 migrants over the Parliament but none from Europe proved the prime minister was "contemptuous" of Calais people. Natacha Bouchart said migrants in Calais saw Britain as a soft touch on benefits and illegal work. She told MPs migrants said they could easily find work and accommodation in England and were not controlled. Giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, via an interpreter, the French politician said less than 10% of the 3,500 migrants currently in Calais wanted to seek asylum in France, all others wanted to come to England. She said if France made 50,000 places available, they still would not seek asylum in France, and it must be confirmed that the UK was not a "El Dorado" for migrants.

Some 3,740 people died until 23 October, a number that is set to rise as the two worst months are yet to come. Last year's death toll was 3,771. This comes despite a sharp decline on the number of people crossing the Mediterranean this year. The UN believes smugglers are changing their tactics, using riskier routes. One of every 47 migrants or refugees attempting the voyage between Libya and Italy is dying, said William Spindler, spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. "This is by far the worse we ever have seen in the Mediterranean," he told journalists in Geneva. "We can say the death rate has increased threefold." There were 327,800 crossings this year, against more than one million in 2015, UN numbers showed. Smugglers, the UN says, are organising more crossings in very bad weather and staging mass embarkations, in which thousands of people in flimsy boats set off at the same time. This means that if they do run into trouble, rescue services cannot possibly save them all. "Smuggling has become a big business, it's being done almost on an industrial scale," Mr Splinder added. "So now they send several boats at the same time and that puts rescue services in difficulty because they need to rescue several thousand people on several hundred boats," he said. An agreement between Turkey and the European Union to halt migrants from travelling to Greek islands has drastically reduced the number of boat arrivals there. But there has been a traffic increase on the highly perilous journey between North Africa and Italy. On Monday, the Italian coastguard said it recovered the bodies of 16 people during 21 rescue missions. Some 2,200 migrants were saved from 18 rubber boats.

The descriptions of the grey smog that's hung over the city get more and more extreme: "Airmageddon", the "Airpocalypse". Walking out into Beijing's streets is like plunging into a swirling soup. The pollution swathes the city, wreathing everything in grey. To get a sense of it, take a look at this slideshow of before and after pictures that give a sense of what China's toxic sky is really like. A combination of coal emissions, dirty diesel and industrial gases, the smog has smothered everything for days. On Thursday, levels still hovered around the "very unhealthy" mark. As the official Xinhua news agency reported, more flights were delayed at Tianjin close to Beijing. Visibility in Shandong province south of Beijing was just 50m (164ft). On Thursday, too, there were reported to be more than 100 cars in crashes in Beijing. The roads were icy and slippery, but poor visibility cannot have helped. What were billed as "tough" measures brought in by Beijing's government this week to try to improve things simply have not been enough. On Tuesday, 103 factories were ordered to shut down, and a third of government cars ordered off the roads to combat what was already being described as the worst January smog since 1954. But even state-controlled media now say Beijing's tough measures were ignored by city officials themselves. More than 800 government vehicles ordered off the roads were still in use, and several construction sites ordered suspended were still active on Wednesday, Xinhua reported. So everyone now is looking at the weather forecast, hoping the smog will be blown away by winds forecast for Friday. That's about the only thing that will bring some respite. A bigger question will linger even after the smog has cleared: can China curb its polluting ways for good? January's pollution has afflicted not just Beijing and its 20 million people, but more than 30 major cities and many tens of millions of people in addition. As the Communist Party's English-language tabloid the Global Times put it in an editorial on Thursday: "China's rapid development has brought us many benefits as well as accumulated many problems. Environmental protection should take up a more prominent position in China's future strategy even if it means that China's economic development will slow down." "Chinese people," the paper said, "should not tolerate environmental pollution for the pursuit of wealth... We cannot keep going with the situation that we have today." The difficult bit is how to change the path China is on. On the plus side, then, there is a growing realisation things have to change, and the media are now being allowed to debate the issue. China's government seems to be in agreement. This week the cabinet approved an energy consumption "control target" for energy use by 2015. On the minus side, that "control target" still means China's energy use will continue to expand, and, crucially, so will the burning of coal. As Xinhua reported: "to meet the target, average annual energy consumption growth should be controlled at around 4.3% between 2011 and 2015, lower than the 6.6-percent annual increase realized between 2006 and 2010". That means more emissions to come. And as if to prove that changing China's habits will be hard, there is another worry on the immediate horizon. Chinese New Year is just days away. Letting off vast quantities of fireworks is part of the Spring Festival celebrations, but the fireworks produce huge amounts of pollution. "Setting off fireworks contributed greatly to air pollution in Beijing for half a month after Spring Festival in 2011," according to Du Shaozhong, former deputy director of Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. Eight million people had already posted messages on China's Weibo microblogs this week debating whether the fireworks should be stopped this year. But the office in charge of Beijing's firework industry has said that residents can set off fireworks during the Spring Festival holiday according to the regulations, but that the office hopes residents will refrain from doing so, the China Daily reported. I predict more smog.

Met Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said the activity would be led by Portuguese police with the involvement of British officers. Madeleine was three years old when she went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal in May 2007. Scotland Yard launched a fresh investigation last July. Mr Rowley did not give details about what the next phase would involve, but said officers were working through every credible line of inquiry as part of the "slog of a major investigation". He said: "It's something that you would expect in any major inquiry. "A thorough serious crime investigation works systematically through all the credible possibilities, and often in an investigation you will have more than one credible possibility. "Therefore just because we're doing a substantial phase of work in the forthcoming weeks doesn't mean that it's going to immediately lead to answers that will explain everything." The Metropolitan Police's relationship with officers in Portugal was working well, he added. Scotland Yard's investigation - codenamed Operation Grange - came two years into a review of the case. In March, British police said they were seeking an intruder who sexually abused five girls in Portugal between 2004 and 2006. Detectives say the attacks happened in holiday villas occupied by UK families in the Algarve. Clickable map and timeline

Kerry Jane Wilson, 60, was working with an NGO when she was taken from the company's office in Jalalabad by armed men in military-style uniforms. She is now "safe and well", according to Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who gave no further details. Jalalabad is close to the border with Pakistan, in a region where militant groups are known to operate. Ms Wilson, known also as Katherine, is the director of Zardozi, a charity which helps poor women start their own businesses. She had been working in the region for 20 years before she was kidnapped by the unidentified gunmen. Ms Bishop said the government would not comment on the circumstances of her release to "protect those who remain captive or face the risk of kidnapping". However she added that she "deeply appreciated the work of the authorities in Afghanistan whose support and assistance facilitated (Ms Wilson's) release". Australia says it does not pay ransoms for hostages. Ms Wilson's 91-year-old father, Brian Wilson, had earlier told the Australian Broadcasting Corp he was extremely worried about his daughter, but that the kidnappers would probably keep her alive.

The sides meet in the Co Antrim Shield decider at Ballymena on Tuesday night. An exciting last-eight line-up also includes two derbies with Portadown hosting holders Glenavon while Coleraine visit Ballymena United. Dungannon Swifts go to Warrenpoint Town, the only team outside the top-flight still in the competition. "It's a big tie between two teams who have played really well for the last 12 months," said Crusaders boss Stephen Baxter. "We look forward to the challenge - it will be a great day with a big atmosphere."

Former France Under-21 international Amavi cost £7.7m when he joined Villa from Nice in July 2015 on a five-year deal. The 23-year-old had looked set to move to Sevilla last month but that deal fell through. Villa winger Leandro Bacuna is also on the verge of leaving the club, manager Steve Bruce confirmed on Wednesday. Speaking to BBC WM 95.6 after his side's 2-1 EFL Cup win over Colchester, Bruce said: "We've agreed a fee with Marseille [for Amavi]. "There's a Championship club after Bacuna, that looks close to being over the line too." Curacao international Bacuna, who can also play at right-back, has been with the club since 2013 and has scored eight goals in 129 appearances.

Moelfre inshore lifeboat launched at about 11:00 BST, along with the local coastguard team and rescue helicopter from Caernarfon. The lifeboat crew found the man in his forties clinging to his fishing kayak, having struggled to climb back on. He showed signs of immersion and was transferred to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. The man, who was wearing all the correct safety equipment, estimated he had been in the water for more than 15 minutes. Lifeboat helm Alan Owen said the man was "coughing heavily" by the time they got him to the beach "which is a clear sign of salt water ingestion". Mr Owen praised the multi-agency response, which he said resulted in a "quick and efficient rescue".

Armed police were called to Highcliffe School in Christchurch shortly after midday. The school was placed in emergency lockdown, but has since reopened. A 26-year-old man from Christchurch was initially held on suspicion of firearm offences but was de-arrested at the scene. A number of air pellets were found. Police said there was no risk to pupils or staff. No-one was injured. A Dorset Police spokeswoman said: "Police officers have now left the scene and police community support officers remain in the area carrying out community reassurance patrols. "The school is back to normal and police have completed a full and thorough search of the area. "We have moved this matter from a response to an investigative phase.... inquires are continuing."

Astronomers working on the Gaia space telescope have released a first tranche of data recording the position and brightness of over a billion stars. And for some two million of these objects, their distance and sideways motion across the heavens has also been accurately plotted. Gaia's mapping effort is already unprecedented in scale, but it still has several years to run. Remarkably, scientists say the store of information even now is too big for them to sift, and they are appealing for the public's help in making discoveries. To give one simple example of the scope of Gaia: Of the 1.1 billion light sources in Wednesday's data release, something like 400 million of these objects have never been recorded in any previous catalogue. "You're imaging the whole sky in basically [Hubble] space telescope quality and because you can now resolve all the stars that previously maybe looked as though they were merged as one star at low resolution - now we can see them," explained Anthony Brown from Leiden University, Netherlands. Gerry Gilmore from Cambridge University, UK, was one of the mission's proposers. "Gaia is going to be a revolution," he said. "It's as if we as astronomers have been bluffing up until now. We're now going to see the truth." A web portal has been opened where anyone can play with Gaia data and look for novel phenomena. When a group of schoolchildren showed the BBC how to do it last week, they stumbled across a supernova - an exploded star. The European Space Agency (Esa) launched its Gaia mission in 2013. Its goal was to update and extend the work of a previous satellite from the 1980s/90s called Hipparcos. This observatory made the go-to Milky Way catalogue for its time - an astonishing chart of our cosmic neighbourhood. It mapped the precise position, brightness, distance and proper motion (that sideways movement on the sky) of 100,000 stars. Gaia, with its first release of data, has just increased that haul 20-fold. Gaia's imperative - To work out how far it is to the nearest stars It is a function of the leap in technology, of course. The new mission actually carries two telescopes, which it scans across the Milky Way from a location about 1.5 million km from Earth. The telescopes' mirrors throw their captured light on to a huge, one-billion-pixel camera detector connected to a trio of instruments. It is this ultra-stable and supersensitive optical equipment that Gaia uses to pick out its sample of stars with extraordinary confidence. The called-for specification was to get to know the brightest objects' coordinates down to an error of just seven micro-arcseconds. This angle is equivalent to the size of a euro coin on the Moon as seen from Earth. In addition to their position and proper motion, the stars are having their physical properties analysed by Gaia. Its instruments are acquiring details such temperature and composition. These are markers needed to help determine the stars' ages. Not all of this information can be gleaned at once. It will take repeat viewing, but by the end of five years of operations the 100,000 stars fully profiled by Hipparcos should become at least a billion in the Gaia catalogue. That is a conservative estimate, however. If one thing is clear from the new data it is that Gaia is seeing many more fainter stars than anyone anticipated. Once the project is complete it could have plotted 2-3 billion light sources. Gaia - The discovery machine Astronomers around the world will have dived into the data the moment it went live on servers on Wednesday - and for all manner of reasons. Some of the 1.1 billion light sources will not actually be stars; they will be the very bright centres of very distant galaxies - what are known as quasars. The nature of their light can be used to calculate the mass of all the stuff between them and us - a means, in effect, to weigh the Universe. A good number of other data-users will be planet-hunters. By studying the way Gaia's stars appear to wobble on the sky, it should be possible to infer the gravitational presence of orbiting worlds. "Gaia is going to be extremely useful for exoplanets, and especially systems that have the Jupiter kind of planets," said Esa's Gaia project scientist, Timo Prusti. "The numbers are going to be impressive; we expect 20,000. The thing is, you need patience because the exoplanets are something where you have to collect five years of data to see the deviation in the movements." By way of comparison, in the past 20 years of planet-hunting, astronomers have confirmed 3,000 worlds beyond our Solar System. One eagerly anticipated measurement is the radial velocity of stars. This describes the movement they make towards or away from Gaia as they turn around the galaxy. If this measurement is combined with the stars' proper motion, it will lay bare the dynamics of the Milky Way. It should be possible, for example, to make a kind of time-lapse movie - to run forwards to see how the galaxy might evolve into the future, or to run backwards to see how our cosmic neighbourhood came to be the shape it is today. At the outset of the mission, scientists had hoped to get radial velocity data on about 150 million stars. But this was thrown into doubt when it was realised soon after Gaia's launch that unexpected stray light was getting into the telescope. This made the observation of the faintest stars and their colours far more challenging. Engineers think they understand the problem: in part it is caused by the way sunlight bends past the 10m-diameter shade that Gaia uses to keep its telescopes in shadow. And the good news according to the scientists is that they think they can work around the difficulties. The longer the mission runs, they believe, the closer Gaia will get to its target of 150 million radial velocity measurements - and that movie. "Clearly, with the stray light we lost sensitivity. On the other hand, it happens to be that there are more stars than were thought before. So we're still talking about 100 million radial velocities," Timo Prusti told BBC News.

An operation to pump 3,000 tonnes of water out of the Hoegh Osaka is expected to last until Sunday. But poor weather conditions has made it unsafe for the salvors to board on Saturday to finalise pumping arrangements. High winds of up to 83mph during the night caused the vessel to drag anchor for approximately 100 metres. The ship had been anchored to help control its movement. Salvage company Svitzer described working conditions on board as "difficult". The Hoegh Osaka has been secured two miles (3.2km) east of the Bramble Bank sandbank from which it freed itself on Wednesday. Water, described as being "lightly contaminated with oil" is being pumped from the ship's hold, which salvers say will cause the ship's 50-degree list to decrease. The film of oil on the water is believed to have come from vehicles held within the hold. With no power from the ship's generators, the water is being discharged using portable pumps during daylight hours. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said there was no evidence of any pollution. Divers are also waiting until conditions improve to complete an inspection of the hull which began yesterday. The Queen's Harbour Master has introduced an exclusion zone of 984ft (300m) around the vessel, currently held by tugs between Cowes and Lee-on-Solent. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's representative for maritime salvage and intervention, said: "I've got confidence the salvors can discharge the bulk of the water from sucking underneath the oil and that will leave us with a small quantity of oil on board the vessel." The 51,000-tonne vehicle transporter "refloated" itself unexpectedly at 14:00 GMT on Wednesday due to the high tide. It was towed two miles east of Bramble Bank, where it was grounded on Saturday. At a news conference on Tuesday, Bram Sperling of Svitzer, said there was some water inside because of a "small opening in the vessel" that had since been closed. A refloat was the preferred option to avoid further damage to the ship from the sandbank. Salvage experts boarded the ship on Monday and began carrying out an assessment to form a rescue plan. The Singapore-registered transporter set sail for Germany at about 20:20 on Saturday, shortly before being deliberately run aground by the crew after it unexpectedly started to list. There were 1,400 cars on board, including 1,200 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles and 65 Minis, as well as 105 JCB machines and 500 tonnes of fuel. Two crew members out of 25 rescued by RNLI Lifeboats and the Solent Coastguard on Saturday suffered non-life threatening injuries. Two senior officers and a pilot stayed on board before being taken ashore.

Following Saturday's 4-0 home defeat against Bournemouth, Robins, 44, met with the board and it was agreed he would leave his post. A club statement read: "Mark and the directors all agreed it would be in the interests of all parties to part company." Former Coventry boss Robins took over from Simon Grayson in February 2013. He helped the Terriers avoid relegation in his first season and guided the club to a 17th-place finish last term. However, the club won just two of their last 13 league games in a 2013-14 campaign that finished with a total of 23 defeats. Following Saturday's loss at the John Smith's Stadium, the former Rotherham and Barnsley boss was jeered by the fans. Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle commented: "Mark has put his all into the job over the past 16 months and has made a big contribution to the club." Assistant manager Steve Thompson will take charge of the team during Sunday's training session, along with first-team coach Steve Eyre. Thompson, 49, joined Huddersfield from Blackpool in June this year and Eyre was promoted the same month following a shake-up of Robins' backroom staff in May.

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold the death penalty of Pakistani national Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, the sole surviving gunman of the 2008 attacks on Mumbai, has opened the debate once again. Predictably, the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been quick to demand Qasab's swift execution "as those who wage war against the country and kill innocents deserve no mercy". Qasab can still appeal to the highest court to review the verdict; and his last hope lies with a plea for clemency to the president. His appalling crime of gunning down innocents surely qualifies as a "rarest of the rare crime", a condition for handing out the death penalty in India. But, as critics of capital punishment say, there's no evidence to show that the death penalty deters crime. Two-thirds of the world's countries have done away with the death penalty in law or in practice. Last year, according to Amnesty International, death sentences were imposed in 63 countries, but only 21 countries actually carried out executions. India has shied away from executing people for many years now. There have been only two hangings in the country in the past 12 years and the majority of convicts on death row can expect their sentences to be commuted to life. Former president Pratibha Patil commuted the death sentences of 35 convicts midway through her five-year term. Clemency pleas of 29 prisoners on death row in India are pending before the president. They include Afzal Guru, who was convicted for carrying out an attack on the Indian parliament in December 2001. The Supreme Court upheld his death sentence as long ago as 2004. Then there is a serious practical problem: there are only one or two hangmen available in India. Two years ago, I met one in a Calcutta prison who had been employed as a hangman-cum-sweeper, and was still waiting to carry out his first execution. Recently, 14 retired Indian judges wrote to the president asking him to commute the death sentences of 13 inmates being held in prisons across the country. And the Supreme Court itself recently admitted that some death penalties it had upheld were erroneous. "Public opinion in India can no longer ignore the global movement in favour of abolition of the death penalty," says AP Shah, the former chief justice of the Delhi High Court in an interview in today's The Times of India. What do you think?

The 22-year-old midfielder, from Glasgow, was stopped by police for driving erratically in the Robroyston area at about 03:00 on 5 February. Officers asked him to provide a breath test and he gave an alcohol reading of 78mg - the legal limit is 22. At Glasgow Sheriff Court, McGregor was also fined £500. Sheriff Neil Mackinnon disqualified McGregor for 12 months, although he may get a reduction if he successfully completes a drink driving course. Last August, McGregor was banned from driving for four months and fined £400 after being caught driving at 69mph in a 50mph zone. The court opted to impose a four-month ban instead of a heavier penalty and left him with nine points on his licence. He was convicted at Hamilton Justice of the Peace Court after claiming the speed gun was faulty. McGregor began as a youth player at Celtic and spent a year on loan at English side Notts County in the 2013-14 season. He returned to Celtic and scored in his first-team debut against KR Reykjavik in a Champions League qualifier in 2014.

Typhoon Phanfone has killed at least one person, a US airman on Okinawa who was washed away by high waves. Thousands of households have lost power and Japan's two largest airlines have suspended many flights. The storm also forced the suspension of the search for people missing after last week's volcanic eruption. The storm-tracking website Tropical Storm Risk forecasts that Phanfone will rapidly lose power over the next few hours as it goes further into the Pacific Ocean. Typhoon Phanfone was downgraded from an earlier status of a super typhoon, but the Japan Meteorological Agency had warned it was still a dangerous storm. Japan averages 11 typhoons a year, according to its weather agency. The typhoon made landfall on Monday morning near the central city of Hamamatsu, with winds of up to 180 km/h (112 mph). The airman was one of three US military personnel swept away by high waves whipped up by the typhoon off southern Okinawa island, where the US has a large military base. The remaining two are still missing. A police spokesman said they had been taking photographs of the sea. A university student who was surfing off the seas of Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, was also missing, national broadcast NHK reports. It said at least 10 people had been injured and 9,500 houses were without power. The storm was expected to deposit about 100mm of rain on Tokyo over 24 hours, according to the Transport Ministry website. Many schools were closed on Monday and two car companies in Japan halted production at some plants ahead of the storm. More than 174 domestic flights were affected nationwide, NHK state broadcaster said on Sunday. On Sunday, heavy rain delayed the Japanese Formula One Grand Prix in Suzaka. French driver Jules Bianchi lost control in the wet conditions and crashed, sustaining a severe head injury.

The dead woman, who has not been named but is believed to be in her 50s, was found at a house in Holmfield Avenue on Saturday. Mohammed Member, 25, Shafiq Member, 29, and Fatima Patel, 27, all of Holmfield Avenue, were remanded in custody ahead of a crown court appearance. Formal identification of the dead woman has yet to take place. Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire

He has been shortlisted for the children's book award for The Rest of Us Just Live Here, which follows the lives of a group of teenagers. Francis Hardinge, who won the Costa Book of the Year award for The Lie Tree, is also shortlisted. Three illustrators are also in with a chance of winning the Kate Greenaway Medal for a record third time. Children's Laureate Chris Riddell, former Children's Laureate Anthony Browne and Helen Oxenbury - who first won the award for outstanding illustration in a book for children in 1969 - have all made the shortlist, which is dominated by traditional picture books this year. Browne first won the medal in 1983, while Riddell won for the first time in 2001. Hardinge's Victorian murder mystery joins Lies We Tell Ourselves, author Robin Talley's first book which tells of two teenage girls falling in love across the race divide in 1950s America. Sarah Crossan's One, about conjoined twins; Marcus Sedgwick's The Ghosts of Heaven, which looks at the search for the true meaning of life; Jenny Valentine's Fire Colour One, which looks at issues of authenticity and honesty; Kate Saunders's Five Children on the Western Front, about the impact of war on a family; and Nick Lake's There Will Be Lies, which sees a young girl reassessing her identity, make up the shortlist. Sioned Jacques, chair of the judging panel for both awards, said: "These exceptionally strong shortlists reflect the huge range of writing and illustrating talent in children's publishing at the moment. "The lists are a true celebration of the longevity of these wonderful talents, with Helen Oxenbury and Anthony Browne showing that they are still delivering incredible work decades after first winning a medal." • One by Sarah Crossan • The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge • There Will Be Lies by Nick Lake • The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness • Five Children on the Western Front by Kate Saunders • The Ghosts of Heaven by Marcus Sedgwick • Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley • Fire Colour One by Jenny Valentine • Willy's Stories illustrated and written by Anthony Browne • There's a Bear on My Chair illustrated and written by Ross Collins • Once Upon an Alphabet illustrated and written by Oliver Jeffers • Sam & Dave Dig a Hole illustrated by Jon Klassen, written by Mac Barnett • Something About a Bear illustrated and written by Jackie Morris • Captain Jack and the Pirates illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, written by Peter Bently • The Sleeper and the Spindle illustrated by Chris Riddell, written by Neil Gaiman • Footpath Flowers illustrated by Sydney Smith, written by JonArno Lawson CILIP president Dawn Finch said: "We are without doubt in a golden age of children's books. From stories set in Victorian times and World War One to a modern day library, from fantasy worlds to the future, these shortlists showcase the enormous talent and unlimited imagination currently to be found in children's storytelling." The winners for the two medals will be announced on 20 June at the British Library. The Kate Greenaway Medal winner has been awarded the £5,000 Colin Mears Award cash prize since 2000 - this year, the Carnegie Medal winner will also be awarded the same amount, from the same fund. One title from each shortlist will also win the Amnesty CILIP honour, which is a new commendation for a book which celebrates freedom.

Swansea council said it was contacted by South Wales Evening Post after readers reported the problem in Townhill and Mayhill to the paper. A council spokesman said a potential source of the sound had been located. Members of the public were asked to contact the local authority's noise pollution team with information.

The company made a pre-tax profit of £5.9m for the three months to March following strong sales of its new DB11 model launched late last year. Revenues more than doubled to £188m in the quarter. Aston Martin, which has made an annual loss for each of the past six years, was sold by Ford in 2007 to Italian and Kuwaiti investment firms. The company has gone bankrupt seven times in its history. Aston Martin sold just 3,687 cars last year, but hopes that its latest models will increase sales by more than 30% in 2017. "The amount of customers who are buying these cars... has doubled year on year," said Mark Wilson, the chief financial officer. "We're now in an area and an environment where we are generating demand in excess of supply." The company said it was still planning to enter the electric car market. Last year, it announced a tie-up with LeEco, the Chinese backer of the electric car start-up Faraday Future.

Brent crude ended Thursday 0.4% higher at $49.94 a barrel. Prices initially fell but then reversed course when figures showed that US crude stockpiles had fallen in the past week. In a statement, Opec said its members were committed to a "stable and balanced oil market". Speaking after the meeting, Saudi Arabia pledged that it would not flood the market by increasing production. The country's energy minister, Khalid Al-Falih, said: "We will be very gentle in our approach and make sure we don't shock the market in anyway." Opec members produce 40% of the world's crude oil. A meeting of most Opec members, along with other oil exporters including Russia, similarly failed to cap output following a meeting in Qatar in April. John Hall, an oil analyst with alfaenergy, said: "Now that there is a realisation that Opec will not be restricting output, traders are caught long with too much oil in a falling market and so once $50 had been reached, there was a general mood to sell off rapidly." After peaking at about $115 a barrel in the summer of 2014, the price of oil fell steadily to a low of about $27 in January this year due to a combination of weaker demand and increased supply. Opec secretary-general Abdulla al-Badri denied that the failure to cap output meant that the cartel was dead: "Opec will be powerful, will be strong. Opec is alive." Bob Minter, analyst at Aberdeen Asset Management Investment, said: "This should have been an easy meeting to re-establish Opec relevance, but they missed the opportunity." The oil ministers did agree that Nigeria's Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo would become Opec's new secretary-general from 1 August. The decision ended years of dispute between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which had put forward their own candidates and refused to agree on a compromise. The ministers also agreed to admit Gabon as the 14th member of Opec from next month.

More than 7,000 children and adolescents had their mental health referrals rejected last year. The Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) described the figure as "astonishing". The Scottish government has already said it will commission a review into rejected referrals. But SAMH said the issue needed to be addressed as quickly as possible because young people were "waiting now to get help and support". The charity's Jo Anderson said 17,500 people had been turned away from receiving Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) support over the past three years. She added: "That's an astonishing figure, and we don't know what happens to them after they've been turned away. We don't know whether they received any other support. "In the last few weeks of the campaign we've been running, we've been inundated with calls from parents who're in that situation and their child has been rejected from receiving a CAMHS service. "They haven't been signposted anywhere else - that's a very worrying picture." Caitlin Wyllie-Quinn, 20, a student from Irvine, had a difficult transition to secondary school. Bullying left her isolated and very down, crying all the time. She got some initial help from the local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service but after leaving therapy she went downhill rapidly. Her GP made another referral to CAMHS but this time it was rejected. Caitlin was told that because she was not suicidal or self-harming, her case was not serious enough. "If the person doing the assessment had asked me if I was suicidal or self-harming I would have answered yes to both those questions, but basically I was refused help because they didn't have the capability to assess me properly," she said. "I was at a real low point and I felt that getting referred to CAMHS was some sort of light at the end of the tunnel and finally maybe getting some help. "For that to be stripped away from me made me feel even more worthless and just made things so much worse for me." The NHS in Scotland provides mental health services for children and young people with a wide range of mental health problems including anxiety, behaviour problems, depression and early onset psychosis. The Scottish government's mental health strategy commits it to carrying out reviews into school counselling and rejected child and adolescent mental health service referrals. Its mental health minister, Maureen Watt, said the reviews would happen "soon", and would allow improvements to be made to the system. Ms Anderson said this was encouraging, but added: "We really urge that to be quick and thorough because there are young people waiting now to get help and support. "It might be that the CAMHS service isn't appropriate for them, but we simply don't know what the problem is." Meanwhile, statistics published on Tuesday also showed that a waiting time target for people to receive specialist mental health treatment has again been missed. The Scottish government has had a target in place since 2014 for 90% of patients to be seen within 18 weeks of referral for mental health support. But the target has never been met nationally - with the latest figures showing that 83.6% of children and adolescents, and 73.7% of adults, were seen within the required timescale between January and March of this year. At the end of March, there were 6,932 children and young people across Scotland waiting for help from CAMHS, up from 6,359 at the end of December, according to the NHS statistics. At the same time, there were 20,952 adults waiting for treatment, compared to 20,195 in December. Average waiting times varied dramatically across the country, with 10 NHS boards meeting the target for CAMHS treatment but only three health boards meeting it for adult psychological care. The figures also showed that 74 children and young people starting their treatment had been waiting more than a year to be seen. NHS Grampian met the waiting time target for just 45.2% of young people, while in NHS Lothian the target was met for 47.8% of youngsters And in the NHS Forth Valley area, only 40% of adults starting psychological treatment between January and March were seen within 18 weeks, with an average wait of 25 weeks. A spokesman for the Scottish Children's Services Coalition (SCSC) said research has suggested 10% of children aged between five and 16 have a clinically diagnosable mental health problem. Pointing to a "clear postcode lottery" when it comes to treatment, he added: "We are deeply concerned about what is happening to the more than a fifth of children and young people not accepted for treatment. "There is a need for an urgent inquiry to ascertain why these young people are being rejected for treatment and what is happening to them." Ms Watt, the mental health minster, said the number of health boards which had met the waiting time target for young people had increased from seven to 10 since the end of 2016. She added: "However, I'm clear that we must continue to reduce waiting times and I will not be satisfied until our target is met sustainably. "Our recently published 10-year strategy for mental health sets out a range of measures that focus on prevention and early intervention to meet the mental health needs of children and young people, backed by £150m of funding. "We will also soon commission reviews into school counselling and rejected child and adolescent mental health service referrals, as a foundation for making further improvements."

Police say the man - said to be a former employee - entered the Ludlow restaurant in the Southbank area late on Sunday evening brandishing a knife. Other customers and staff fled but the man cornered the woman in a back room and barricaded himself in. The area was cordoned off while police negotiated with the man. The woman was released unharmed in the early hours of Monday. Police then moved in and Tasered the man before arresting him and taking him to hospital on a stretcher for checks. Inspector Travis McCarthy told Australian media the investigation was ongoing but that the accused "was fairly disgruntled around some employment issues with the restaurant". He said the woman appeared not to have been directly threatened during the siege.

The condition of the woman, who has not been named, was "good, considering the circumstances", the GIZ development organisation said. She is "very relieved and happy" at being released, it added. The kidnapping happened in a central Kabul neighbourhood, where a number of foreign aid agencies are based. No details have been given about the circumstances of the woman's release. German Foreign Minister Frank Walter-Steinmeier, who is visiting Tehran, said he was "very relieved" at the news and thanked the Afghan government and the country's security forces. The kidnapping was the second abduction of a GIZ aid worker this year. Another employee of the agency was kidnapped in the restive northern province of Kunduz and rescued in a police operation after 40 days in captivity. In April the bodies of five Afghan workers for Save the Children were found after they were abducted by gunmen in the strife-torn southern province of Uruzgan.

The Old Trafford outfit, who are unbeaten in the Championship all season, have secured an immediate return to the top tier with two games left to play. They need just 12 more points to be crowned champions. Mark Chilton was the last Red Rose captain to achieve promotion back in 2005 and was also part of their Championship-winning side of 2011. The 36-year-old assesses the key factors to Lancashire securing a return to the top flight. Relegation came as a surprise for Lancashire in 2012, less than 12 months after they had been crowned outright champions for the first time in 77 years. The only goal for 2013 was promotion. "The challenge for that season when you're in Division Two is that it almost feels like you're not playing for anything major. It's just a case of 'we've got to get ourselves back in that top division'. "I remember 2005 being a bit of a stop-gap season and I'm pretty sure the lads will have felt like that this year. "It hasn't surprised me that they've been so dominant. If you had spoken to me in April, I'd have confidently said they would have been going up, more than likely as champions. "Clearly, in four-day cricket, they've really played very well this year. There's lots of good things happening at the club, with lots of good people involved, and over time, more often than not it will produce good results." Six of Lancashire's eight home Championship fixtures in 2013 have been played at Old Trafford, compared with just two in 2012, following the completion of a multi-million pound redevelopment at the county's traditional home. "I do think it's made a significant difference. "Liverpool became a bit of a fortress for us in 2011 but having the home comforts of the new stadium, which is a fantastic facility and a lovely place to be, has probably really helped to settle the side. "They've started to create the same feeling that we had at Liverpool in 2011, in that it becomes a difficult place to play. "There would have been a lot of people holding their breath this summer. It was a big moment for the club because an awful lot of work had been done to get to that stage. "To see the ground full for a Test match and a one-day international match [both against Australia] is what a lot of people have worked hard towards. They can sit back and take a great deal of satisfaction from a job well done." With 122 Test appearances between them for South Africa and Australia respectively, Ashwell Prince and Simon Katich have brought some much-needed experience to Lancashire's batting line-up and are their top two run scorers in four-day cricket. "Simon is probably The times I've seen him, he's looked very fluent and has scored a great volume of runs. "I got the chance to play with Ashwell and I know what a determined performer he is. "You're always guaranteed runs with those two guys. You'll very rarely put them into a situation that they've not played out before, so they can play lots of different roles and also complement the other guys in the team." The evergreen Glen Chapple and the rejuvenated Kyle Hogg have both taken more than 50 first-class wickets for Lancashire in 2013, their stand-out performance coming in June when they dismissed Essex for just 20. "After starting with successive home draws, Lancashire's campaign burst into life with a dramatic win against Glamorgan at Colwyn Bay, bowling the home side out for 139. "Two victories against Essex, the first coming after chasing down 253 to win on the final day at Old Trafford, and then bowling Essex out for just 20 at Chelmsford, were remarkable achievements and big highlights. "Once they picked up their first win, they never really looked back. With a trio of bowlers claiming more than 50 wickets apiece and runs coming from throughout the team, Lancashire are worthy of promotion in 2013." "I've known Glen a long time and he looks as fit as I've seen him for a long time. The important thing for him is to keep his body in a good shape so that he can go out and demonstrate those skills. "If you ask the majority of opening batsmen their top three hardest opponents, he will be in most people's top three. He's very well respected and "The partnership between Glen and Kyle was a real strength in 2011, and "Similarly to finding a good opening partnership with the bat, exactly the same thing applies with the ball. "Where they're very strong is that they don't give much to hit. They're always testing techniques early on, always asking questions and not leaking too many runs so they're putting sides under pressure straight away. "They obviously enjoy bowling with each other and it's proved to be an effective partnership this year." Gary Keedy had been Lancashire's front-line spinner for much of his 18 years with the county, but his pre-season departure to Surrey has allowed Simon Kerrigan to flourish in a season that ended with him being handed a Test debut by England. "Simon has always been an exciting cricketer - an aggressive spin bowler who is always looking to take wickets. "His will have been up and down, but they will stand him in good stead. "I really think he will go on to be a high-class international spinner. He's got all the attributes. When he's bowling well, he bowls people out and he wins games." Lancashire have offered first-team chances to talented youngsters in recent seasons and 2013 has been no different, with opener Luis Reece, 23, making the most significant breakthrough. "Luis was involved during my time and he forced his way in through the sheer volume of runs he was scoring in every form of cricket he was playing. It's very hard to ignore that. "He's got his game organised and he's shown himself to be a consistent performer. "I've done it myself - if you can bat a long time, see off the new ball and bat out that first session, you're setting a platform for the team to get big runs. He's done that brilliantly."

Konstandinos Erik Scurfield, 25, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, is thought to be the first British person killed fighting Islamic State extremists. He is said to have gone to Syria because he was "horrified by the atrocities being carried out" there. His family has paid tribute to his "courage, conviction and honour". Mr Scurfield, an expert in battlefield medicine, is believed to have travelled to Syria three or four months ago. Kurdish commander Redor Khalil said Mr Scurfield was killed on Monday while fighting alongside Kurdish forces in the frontline village of Tel Khuzela. In a statement, his family said: "We are devastated to confirm the death of our son Konstandinos Erik Scurfield in Syria where he went to support the forces opposing Islamic State. "His flame might have burned briefly but it burned brightly with love, courage, conviction and honour and we are very proud of him." The family's friends and neighbours described news of Mr Scurfield's death as "heartbreaking". "It doesn't surprise me that he went because he seemed to do everything 100% and he seemed to have deep feelings. He was very conscientious, he was a lovely person," neighbour Mary Jane Hemmings said. "He was a very strong-willed man, I would say, and he knew what he was about. I am sure he knew what he was doing." The family's local MP Dan Jarvis said they had approached him a few weeks ago worried about their son's safety. "Erik was an experienced former Royal Marine who was horrified by the atrocities being carried out by Isis [Islamic State]," he said. "His family's understanding was that he travelled to Syria hoping to provide medical and humanitarian support as an expert in battlefield medicine." by Guney Yildiz, BBC Newshour Kurdish military sources in north-eastern Syria told me that Mr Scurfield was killed when the armoured vehicle he was in was hit by a missile launched by the Islamic State militants. The special mobile guerrilla unit which Mr Scurfield was part of came under attack during an offensive against IS to recapture areas around Til Hamis town in Hasakah province. Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) forces have recovered his body along with other casualties, and brought the body to Derik, a town in north-eastern corner of Syria, close to Iraqi border. He joined the YPG, a secular group that has proven to be very effective against IS in Syria and Iraq, on 7 December. The Kurdish sources say that in a video, which is not publicly available yet, Mr Scurfield says he "joined the YPG to fight against IS". Mr Jarvis, who is Labour MP for Barnsley Central, called on the government to monitor all British citizens who travel to Iraq and Syria to join the fight against IS. "There have been several reports of other British civilians doing the same thing, but the government confirmed when I recently raised this issue in Parliament that there is currently no system to monitor or record people going to the region with the aim of joining the fight against Isis," he said. "I wrote to the Foreign Office regarding this issue some weeks ago and will be now following up that letter." In a statement, the Foreign Office said: "The UK has advised for some time against all travel to Syria, where all UK consular services are suspended. "As we do not have any representation in Syria it is extremely difficult to get any confirmation of deaths or injuries and our options for supporting British nationals there are extremely limited." The Home Office says there are about 600 people in the region "of interest" but have not given a breakdown of what groups they may be associated with. The BBC understands about 100 Western volunteers - including some Britons - are fighting with the 30,000-strong Kurdish forces. More than 500 Britons are believed to have travelled to join IS. BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said the UK government's position was "probably going to lead to accusations of double standards". He said if Britons went to Syria and were suspected of trying to join IS they would get their "collar felt at Heathrow" - but there "seems to be a silence about people going to fight on the other side".

The American began the day in a four-way tie for the lead and recovered from a bogey on the first with his fifth birdie of the day on the 10th. Spieth carded three more in succession from the 14th to finish 12 under par, three shots ahead of Dustin Johnson. "I've been striking the ball well this year," the 24-year-old said. The three-time major winner, who also pulled off an impressive shot from eight feet to three-putt the ninth, had been four clear until world number one Johnson birdied the 18th to complete a 67 and move two ahead of Paul Casey, Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed and Matt Kuchar. Spieth, who has won each of the five times he has enjoyed a lead of two shots or more after 54 holes on the PGA Tour, felt a "heated putter" had been crucial to his success. "Today was about the most committed I've been finishing a round - Michael [Greller, his caddie]said ever - and I agreed with him," he added. "[We] committed to targets that were away from holes, knowing I'm in the lead and knowing the putter is getting hotter each putt I hit. That last six-hole stretch, I played beautiful golf."

With the game pointless, England hooker Hartley lashed out at Tigers' Matt Smith with just 17 minutes gone. Tigers registered a penalty try, but after the break Alex Waller and Ben Foden went over for the champions and Niki Goneva scored two of his own. But with three minutes left Jamie Elliott touched down to win an epic derby at Franklin's Gardens. It was all in spite of Saints captain Hartley's indiscretion, the latest on a growing rap sheet throughout his career which will raise questions about his credentials to represent England, regardless of whether his inevitable ban stretches into next year's Six Nations. With two separate brawls having broken out on the pitch, replays showed that Hartley's elbow connected with Smith's chin during a scuffle, and referee JP Doyle took the advice of the television match official to send off the 28-year-old. After missing last year's British & Irish Lions tour of Australia with an 11-week ban after being dismissed for swearing at referee Wayne Barnes in the 2013 Premiership final - also against the Tigers - Hartley, by his own admission, was in the last chance saloon when it came to his England career. The New Zealand-born forward, who rejected a big-money move to Montpellier to sign a new Saints deal this week, can also count a 26-week ban in 2007 for eye gouging and eight-week and two-week bans in 2012, for biting and striking respectively, among his misdemeanours. With just 17 minutes having passed when he trudged off the field, Saints, like in the 2013 final, were once again without their captain and facing an uphill battle. Immediately after Hartley's sending off, which inevitably overshadowed a typically ferocious East Midlands derby, things got worse for Saints who, still trying to regroup, conceded a penalty try for impeding three consecutive scrums. Owen Williams slotted the conversion and Stephen Myler put over a penalty for Saints, before Tigers' Tom Croft was sin-binned moments before the break for a high tackle. Myler collected the points off the tee and after the interval Saints capitalised on Croft's absence, pinning Tigers back into their 22 and freeing up Salesi Ma'afu to pass on to Waller for the score. Tom Youngs, who may be eyeing up Hartley's place in Stuart Lancaster's England side, lasted less than 50 minutes as he continued his return from injury, but Tigers were able to reassert themselves when they were back up to their full quota. Replacement Freddie Burns's break down the middle had Saints scrambling under their posts and Leicester quickly recycled as Goneva crossed after taking a pass from Williams, who skewed his conversion wide. Fourteen-man Saints once again validated their status as champions and Premiership leaders, though, when Luther Burrell, who was a powerhouse all afternoon, burst forward, allowing the ball to go through the hands to Foden for a superb finish from 35 metres. It looked like it might be to no avail as Tigers, unbeaten in four Premiership games coming into the match, turned it over in midfield through Julian Salvi and put Goneva over in the corner. But, remarkably, Saints found time for one more push and, from a line-out, swept the ball across the pitch for Elliott to clinch an unlikely and thrilling victory. Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder: Media playback is not supported on this device "At half-time Tom Wood said 'let's do it for Dylan'. "It was a tremendous, spirited performance. Not just relying on spirit and guts but also a lot of technical and tactical work. "In terms of the red card it is disappointing. Dylan has to keep his arms down but he's being held and I don't think there is any malice in it. The nature of the game didn't justify a red card. I think Smith went down pretty easily, which was disappointing. "I think the referee's initial decision of a yellow card would have been the correct decision. "I thought Luther Burrell was outstanding. After 20 minutes we said we were still going to take them on and what we needed from Luther was to stay strong and on his feet and he did that brilliantly." Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill: "I'm frustrated with how we managed that second half. We got what we deserved. You have to control that field position and get that forward pack into the right areas of the field so we can have opportunities to create attacks. "We were defensively poor. We were too narrow. It will be interesting on Monday morning when we look back and see a side with one less back creating opportunities. "Saints outplayed us. They took advantage of our naivety in defence. We seemed to go AWOL at times in defence." Northampton Saints: Wilson; K. Pisi, Stephenson, Burrell, North; Myler, Fotuali'i; A Waller, Hartley (capt), Ma'afu; Lawes, Day; Clark, Wood, Manoa.

Mr Miliband called the prime minister's refusal to take part unless the Green Party was involved a "pathetic excuse". He said he would debate with "anyone invited by the broadcasters". But Mr Cameron said the Labour leader was "chickening" out of facing the Greens and all "national parties" must be represented. The exchanges came after Mr Miliband, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg and UKIP leader Nigel Farage urged broadcasters to press ahead with televised debates before the 7 May poll even if Mr Cameron refuses to take part. The three leaders have written to Mr Cameron saying it would be "unacceptable" for the prime minister to refuse to appear, saying an empty podium should be provided in his absence. In response, the BBC, Sky News, ITV and Channel 4 said they "remain committed" to staging debates before the poll on 7 May. Raising the issue in Parliament, Mr Miliband said Mr Cameron had argued back in 2010 that it would be "feeble" for any party leader to walk away from the debates but was now threatening to do just that. A high stakes poker game in which the ultimate prize is power - that is what the row about TV leaders election debate has now become. The players at the table are not just the nation's party leaders but also the bosses of the country's biggest broadcasters. Watching and waiting are highly paid lawyers who know that this may end up being resolve by a judge and not by the court of public opinion. The question is - will anyone blink before it gets to the court-room? Read more from Nick "It is not for him, it is not for me, it is not for any party leader to decide who is in the debate," he said. "It is up to the broadcasters, that is the country we live in. "I think he does protest too much. He has run out of excuses, he is running scared of these debates and in the words of his heroine Margaret Thatcher 'he is frit'". Mr Cameron said Mr Miliband wanted "to debate having a debate" because he did not want to talk about the economy and other issues. He said he was keen to defend his record during the campaign, suggesting he would support the idea of two debates, one a head-to-head encounter between him and Mr Miliband and another in which all "national parties" were represented. "The more time he and I can spend on television and in the television studio, the happier I will be," he said. But Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who was sitting next to the prime minister, was heard shouting "excuses, excuses" as Mr Cameron answered one of Mr Miliband's questions. In identical letters to Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband, Mr Clegg and Mr Farage called for a repeat of the 2010 debates - the first ever leaders' TV debates in a British election - and insisted they "not the property of the politicians". They wrote: "I believe it would be a major setback to our democratic processes if these debates were not repeated in 2015 because of one politician's unwillingness to participate." The added: "Therefore, if you are unwilling to reconsider, the three party leaders who have committed to participate will ask the broadcasters to press ahead with the debates and provide an empty podium should you have a last-minute change of heart." Under plans put forward by the BBC, Sky News, ITV and Channel 4 in October, the pre-election live TV debates would include the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats and UKIP. Mr Cameron would take on Labour leader Mr Miliband head-to-head in one debate, another would feature Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Lib Dem leader Mr Clegg, and a third would also include UKIP's Mr Farage. The suggested schedule is for debates on 2 April, 16 April and 30 April, ahead of the general election on 7 May. Mr Farage said the BBC would be "within its rights", under the terms of its editorial guidelines, to stage a debate without Mr Cameron and providing an empty podium would be "entirely appropriate". "If David Cameron chooses not to turn up that is his hard luck," he told the BBC News Channel. "My guess is that if the broadcasters hold firm, Mr Cameron will buckle and say yes." Lord Ashdown, who is leading the Lib Dems' general election campaign, urged broadcasters to "stick to their guns" or else he feared the impetus for the debates would "ebb away". He told Sky News: "You just can't let the prime minister or anybody else basically hold the country and our democracy to ransom by saying no." But Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said she backed Mr Cameron's stance and said it was in the interest of the three other leaders to help persuade broadcasters that her party should be included in one of the debates. Ms Bennett said ITV had not yet made a final decision and she hoped to hold talks with the broadcaster in the near future. "Staging the debates without the prime minister might score a point but would not serve the public, who rightly expect the political parties and the broadcasters to find a format that is acceptable to all concerned," she wrote in a letter to the trio. "If you indicated that you were open to the inclusion of the Greens, then I feel sure that ITV would respond." John Curtice, professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, said that having "nailed his colours to the mast" over the Green Party's participation, it would be difficult for Mr Cameron to shun the debates if they were invited. The three debates in 2010 were watched by a total of 22 million people, and they have been cited as one reason for the increase in turnout at the election, which rose for the first time since 1992. While the debates were a "good test of political leadership", Prof Curtice told the BBC that they had dominated the campaign and "not necessarily succeeded in reaching out to more marginal voters". The SNP and Plaid Cymru, which have more seats in Parliament than either UKIP or the Green Party, also say they should be represented in any series of debates. SNP deputy leader Stuart Hosie said: "The idea that the SNP, bigger than UKIP and the Lib Dems combined in terms of membership, should be excluded from debates which are broadcast into people's homes in Scotland is just simply quite unacceptable." In a statement, the four broadcasters said: "The debates played an important role in informing millions of our viewers in 2010 and we will continue to work with all the parties to ensure that they happen again in 2015". The Guardian, Daily Telegraph and YouTube are proposing a separate digital debate, which they suggest could reach up to 55 million internet users. They have invited the Greens, UKIP, the Lib Dems, Labour and the Conservatives to take part.

Former party leader Mark Durkan, who has been the MP for the area since 2005, lost out by just 169 votes to Elisha McCallion of Sinn Féin. Londonderry's city seat had been coveted by the SDLP since their party founder John Hume was elected in 1983. All 18 of Northern Ireland's MPs have been confirmed with the SDLP and Ulster Unionist Party the biggest losers. At the last general election in 2015, Mr Durkan was 8,000 votes clear of his nearest rival with 42% of the vote. "I cannot tell a lie," he said in his concession speech. "I cannot say it doesn't hurt but I absolutely want to begin by congratulating Elisha McCallion and agreeing with her that what she has achieved tonight is a privilege, to represent the people of this city." The Foyle turnout was 65.60% - up from 53.58% two years ago. While not exactly a political newcomer, Ms McCallion only became an MLA at Stormont earlier this year following the death of Martin McGuinness. In an emotional speech after the result, she recognised Mr Durkan's contribution to political life in the North West. "Mark has been a public representative in Derry for a large number of years and he has served it well," she said. "But I can't not express my extreme delight at being the first ever republican MP ever elected in this city." Mr Durkan said one of the reasons for his defeat was greater campaign funding by Sinn Féin. He also felt that a reluctance from other parties to engage in a "progressive alliance" along pro-EU lines had been damaging. "We were faced with a huge effort and a huge spend by Sinn Féin, they targeted the constituency very well and put huge resources in here," he told the BBC. "It's a big part of it, if we can't match that spend or that spin." SDLP leader Colum Eastwood, who also hails from Derry, will now have a big job on his hands to pick the party up from their Westminster whitewash. Stephen Pound, the Labour MP for Ealing North and shadow minister for Northern Ireland, said Mr Durkan's loss from the house of Commons would be keenly felt. "Mark was without a doubt one of the finest speakers in the House of Commons, he was also the inventor of these incredible 'Durkanisms'," Mr Pound told BBC Radio Foyle. "He was one of the few people that made everybody stop rustling the papers and look up when he started speaking, he'll be missed greatly. "We've lost a unique voice. He was a damn fine speaker and a very, very good friend."

A proposed scheme would have scrapped upfront relief, worth an estimated £21bn to savers, but made pension pot withdrawals tax free. An alternative option was to set a flat rate of tax relief, which may have been unpopular with higher earners. Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell said Mr Osborne was "yet again ducking a big decision". Campaigners said he had missed a "huge opportunity" to tackle pension inequality and help the lower paid. But others said he was right to protect existing reliefs, and that radical reforms would have created new risks and imposed new administrative burdens on employers. Mr Osborne had been expected to unveil changes in the Budget on 16 March, but a Treasury source said it was "not the right time" to make changes to pension tax relief. The relief allows some of a person's earnings that would have been taken by government in tax to go into their pension instead. Under the current system, pension savers receive tax relief at the same rate as their income tax - meaning basic rate taxpayers receive relief at 20% and higher rate taxpayers at 40 or 45%. The proposal to introduce arrangements similar to an Isa, with no tax relief on contributions but with withdrawals free of tax, would have given a significant short-term boost to the government at the expense of lower tax revenue later. An alternative option considered by the Treasury was for flat rate relief, which would have benefited basic rate taxpayers and cut reliefs for higher earners. BBC business correspondent Joe Lynam So a policy which hadn't been announced will now not be announced. And the big winners of this non-announcement will be wealthy people. At the moment not only do they earn more, they also get a proportionately bigger tax top-up from the government when they save for their retirement. If the chancellor had scrapped the tax relief entirely on pensions savings and created instead a new pensions Isa, that would have cost the better off (40p and 45p taxpayers) billions of pounds collectively. The other proposal which had been reported was to create a new pension tax relief rate of 25p or even 33p. That would have punished higher earners as well but not by as much as the Isa-style option. It would also have encouraged saving for retirement by the less well off (20p taxpayers) by, in effect, giving a pound for every four they saved. Mick McAteer, co-director of the Financial Inclusion Centre, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he was "very disappointed" that the government had stepped away from tackling the "clear inequality in our pension system". Dot Gibson, general secretary of the National Pensioners Convention, Britain's biggest pensioner organisation, said: "The chancellor has wasted a golden opportunity to not only reform the unfair system of pension tax relief, but at the same time solve the funding crisis in social care." Conservative MP Mark Garnier, who sits on the Treasury select committee, acknowledged that the present system "massively favours those people who are earning more money" and told Today he favoured "a fundamental rehash of the pension system". However, he said a flat rate relief would have been "quite difficult to administer" and more thought should be given to what reforms would work best. Mr McDonnell said the chancellor was "putting the interests of his party ahead of those of our country". "The big test for this Budget is whether it can start to lay the secure foundations for the economy of the future. This decision suggests George Osborne is only interested in securing the future leadership of his party." Former Liberal Democrat pensions minister Steve Webb, who now works in the pensions industry, said Mr Osborne had been right to resist changes. He called for a "period of stability" in pensions policy in the interest of encouraging people to save for the long term. Savers pay no tax on money they put into a pension but they do pay tax on what they take out each year beyond the personal allowance. The government also allows pensioners to withdraw 25% of their pot tax free as a lump sum. The way the relief works is that some of a person's earnings that would have been taken by government in tax can be contributed to their pension instead. Pension savers receive tax relief at the highest rate of income tax they pay. This means that the cost of a £10,000 pension contribution would, in effect, be £8,000 for a basic rate taxpayer because otherwise £2,000 would have gone in tax. For a 40% taxpayer the saving would be £4,000, and £4,500 for those at the 45% rate. So present arrangements favour the better off. The amount anyone can save into a pension and receive tax relief on is capped at £40,000 annually and £1.25m in their lifetime. Mr Osborne was warned ahead of the Budget that introducing Isa-style arrangements could prompt a mass withdrawal from pension funds. Conservative MPs had also become concerned about the impact on their constituents of any move to flat rate relief, which would have reduced breaks for higher rate taxpayers. BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier said Mr Osborne's decision was also a recognition of how fragile the EU referendum campaign is and removed the risk of upsetting voters ahead of the vote on 23 June. An ally of the chancellor told the Times that Mr Osborne did not want to put people off saving. "Now isn't the right time, with uncertainty in the global economy and reforms such as auto-enrolment still bedding in, to turn things on their head. The prospect of radical reform had also been opposed by the pensions industry. Changes to the pensions system in recent years have included automatic enrolment into workplace pensions in 2012, and people aged 55 and over being allowed to take their retirement pots how they want rather than being required to buy an annuity retirement income - introduced in 2015.

Plans for a £41m revamp of the central London street, including a daylight ban on cars six days a week, were approved by Camden Council in 2014. The Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTA) said it was "madness" and would hinder customer pick-up and drop-off. It sought a judicial review of the decision that was refused on 1 June. The council said the redesign would make the street safer and support businesses ahead of the opening of a Crossrail station in 2018. It undertook an assessment of the impact the partial car ban might have and said allowing taxis to use the street would lead to more traffic congestion, worse air quality and increased traffic collisions. Only buses, bicycles and local access would be allowed on the street from 08:00 to 19:00 Monday to Saturday, but side streets should still give other vehicles 60% access to Tottenham Court Road, the council added.

He has been enjoying a first year off in a career which has spanned more than a quarter of a century, starting with his United debut in 1990 and coming to a temporary halt when he left the club as a coach 12 months ago. Giggs has since been linked with several managerial vacancies - Sunderland and Middlesbrough among the most recent - and he was interviewed for the Swansea City job last October. And while the Welshman has distanced himself from most speculation, there is one managerial post to which his name always appears to be closely connected: his country. Chris Coleman has said the current World Cup campaign will be his last in charge of Wales, prompting many to suggest Giggs as his successor. But when he is asked about the subject, Giggs is as fleet of foot as he was on the Old Trafford turf. "With Cookie still in the job, I know what he said, but he could change his mind and carry on. So I think it's unfair to comment on that," he says. "But he's done a great job, got some talented players there at the moment and I think the focus with Wales at the moment will be just winning those next four games and getting to the World Cup." OK, then, leaving Coleman out of the equation for now, theoretically, would Giggs at least want to manage Wales one day? "I've seen Mark Hughes do it, Cookie [Coleman] do it, Gary Speed do it. It is a good job," he adds, still not giving an inch. "And I think, when you are a coach, in my experience United would be a great job and coaching your country. Whether it be soon or in 10 or 15 years' time, we'll just have to wait and see." At this point, Giggs bursts into laughter, admitting with a mischievous grin: "I've not given you an answer there, have I?" You can understand why Giggs is reluctant to state outright his ambition of managing Wales. He considers Coleman a friend and would not like to be seen to be eyeing his job. Besides, if Wales' players and other coaches had their way, Coleman would change his mind and lead them beyond this campaign. "That's totally up to Cookie. What he's done for Welsh football is remarkable," says Giggs. "The whole team just captured the imagination at the (2016) Euros and a large part of that is down to him. The team he's built, the character he is, the team spirit. "Teams are very much a shadow of the manager and I think this Welsh team is, knowing Chris as well I do, because he is larger than life, he is a great character, a great person to be around, but also a serious football man." As someone who has spent more than half of his life as a professional player or coach, Giggs is also very much a "serious football man". But the success and all-consuming nature of his playing career means he is happy to spend some time away from the sport's firing line. And although a year out may mean a clean break from your profession for most, football has still featured prominently in Giggs' sabbatical-of-sorts. "Life's good. I've just completed my first year without football and it's been good," he says. "I've been really busy doing some TV work for the Euros when I finished, then I went to India playing futsal, then a bit more punditry, doing some work for Uefa as a technical observer, which is good keeping me in football, and then just doing the normal dad stuff, watching your son play football, and watching Salford City, who I'm co-owner of. So it's been really busy and really good. "You find out there's a whole big old world out there outside football, so I'm enjoying it. "I think the pressure you put yourself under, be it as a player or a coach, that pressure's sort of come off. It's a strange feeling but it's good. "I'm exactly where I was last summer, more or less got the next six months planned but, with the chance if a club does come in and want to talk, then I can do that." While being football-centric, what the last 12 months have given Giggs is some time away from the pressure cooker of the Premier League and its myriad, relentless demands. That breathing space has allowed the Welshman to contemplate his options, speak to former managers - Sir Alex Ferguson most regularly - and also learn from coaches of other sports. "Rugby is a big love for me because my dad [Danny Wilson] played rugby and I'm a rugby fan, whether it be league or union," Giggs says. "I know Rob Howley [former Wales and British and Irish Lions scrum-half and current assistant coach], I've met Warren Gatland [Wales and Lions head coach], I've spent an evening next to Eddie Jones [England head coach], who was constantly asking me about football - it was brilliant. "I was asking him all about his coaching career, but he was asking me more about football and Sir Alex." Giggs appears to be refreshed by his time off, chatting excitedly about the previous 12 months and his future managerial career. So does a 'gap year' like this revitalise one's passion for football? "I think it does," Giggs says. "It's brilliant I can step out because I was two years as a coach, you're constantly putting yourself under pressure, you're always thinking how you can improve the team, so to step away from it and be a bit more relaxed, you can look at things in a different way. "I think I am ready [to return] but, also, I'm enjoying life and busy doing other stuff. If it happens then great, I'm ready because I've prepared myself as best I could with all my badges and the two years under Louis [van Gaal] at United. "Whether that be in the lower leagues or a foreign club, I don't know. I honestly don't know and that's exciting for me because I've enjoyed this last year. But at some stage, I'm sure I will be back in football, coaching or managing."

The trouble began on Monday after council contractors removed material from an anti-internment bonfire in the Markets area, near the city centre. On Tuesday night, North Queen St was closed for a time due to a car on fire. The road is near a bonfire in the New Lodge and it is understood a number of petrol bombs were thrown on the road. However, police said the road had reopened to traffic shortly after 23:00 BST and was "passable with care". Bonfires are traditionally lit in some republican areas to mark the anniversary of the introduction of internment - detention without trial - on 9 August 1971. Council worker injured Belfast City Council recently passed a motion to say that contractors would remove material from bonfire that posed a risk to safety. However, on Tuesday evening the council told the BBC that it no longer has a contractor in place. On Monday, shortly after material was taken away from a bonfire in the Markets, a number of parked cars were set on fire and petrol bombs, stones and other missiles were thrown at police. Later that evening, trouble spread to other areas and a disused credit union building was set on fire in west Belfast. Belfast City Council staff have also been targeted and on Tuesday, the council confirmed that one of its workers had been injured when a stone was thrown at a council vehicle. The member of staff received a cut to the head when the windscreen of their vehicle was smashed. A council spokesperson said it was one of two separate incidents in which stones were thrown at its vehicles. It also confirmed that some street cleansing and commercial waste collections were restricted in the Markets, New Lodge and Divis areas on Tuesday. Community centres in the New Lodge, Divis and Markets areas closed to the public at 17:00 BST. In a statement about Monday's attacks, the PSNI said officers had dealt with "localised disorder caused by a small group of people" - some as young as 12 - in the Markets, New Lodge and North Queen Street areas. Police are gathering evidence to bring those involved before the courts. They have also appealed for parents to be aware of their children's whereabouts. Police helped the fire service to deal with Monday night's blaze, which started at about 21:00 BST at the former credit union on Ross Road in west Belfast. A bus was also damaged on the Falls Road a few hours later. Supt Andrea McMullan said: "I would like to reassure the public that police patrols across Belfast will be increased over the coming days in an effort to curb this violence. "I would also call on those with influence in local communities to exert some control in an effort to dissuade any repetition of this behaviour." She described the attacks as "senseless and unacceptable". "It achieves nothing - creating only inconvenience, disruption and misery for the local community," she added. On Monday afternoon, three cars were destroyed after they were set on fire and five other vehicles were damaged by stones and paint in the Markets. Later in the evening about 100 young people, including children aged 12, gathered in the area. Alliance councillor Emmet McDonough-Brown described the scenes in Belfast as "disgraceful" and said they must be "condemned in the strongest terms". "The responsibility for last night's behaviour rests solely with the people who carried it out," he told BBC Radio Ulster. "The agreement to remove materials was agreed by all parties and I think this is not the first test of the issue." Sinn Féin councillor Deirdre Hargey said residents in the Markets area were "completely disgusted" at the trouble. "They don't want this and those involved in this disgusting behaviour are not representative of this community," she added. Ms Hargey said she did not expect the level of anti-social behaviour and vandalism and did not believe it was "completely linked" to Belfast City Council's decision to tackle dangerous bonfires. "There have been ongoing incidents and I think a large part of those who have been involved in incidents either in the Markets, or especially in Divis, are involved in vandalism every other day of the year," she added. End of Twitter post by @PoliceServiceNI "They have just used this as an opportunity or an excuse to carry out this type of behaviour that they do every other day." She said she was concerned that there were "older, more sinister elements involved in trying to encourage younger people into this activity", but did not think they were dissident republicans. End of Twitter post 2 by @PoliceServiceNI On Twitter, the PSNI also "thanked those in affected communities who helped settle tensions" on Monday evening. Meanwhile, a bonfire has been rebuilt close to the New Lodge flats, on Queen Street in north Belfast, despite weeks of efforts to remove pallets and other bonfire material from the neighbourhood. Youths were pictured posing atop of rows of pallets stacked on the bonfire, which was expected to be lit later on Tuesday.

8 January 2016 Last updated at 07:58 GMT One of the latest drone prototypes on show looks a bit like a helicopter and allows a passenger to sit inside of the drone. It's controlled by a tablet and the passenger can choose their destination on it. The drone, which has 8 propellers, takes between 2-4 hours to charge and would last for around 23 minutes flying time.

A blue Citroen C3 hit a house near the Conrah Hotel on the A487 in Chancery at about 02:15 BST on Friday. Firefighters had to cut three people free from the wreckage - one suffered minor injures, two serious. Dyfed-Powys Police said the house was considerably damaged in the crash and a 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. The road was closed for about three hours.

The Serb, who won five Premier League titles and the Champions League in his eight-year spell at Old Trafford, says injuries have forced his retirement. Vidic, 34, left Inter Milan by mutual consent in January after failing to make an appearance for the Serie A side this season. "The time has come for me to hang up my boots," he told ManUtd.com "The injuries I have had in the last few years have taken their toll. "I would like to thank all the players I have played with, all the managers and staff I have worked with, and say a big thank you to the fans for their support over the years." Vidic joined Inter Milan on a free transfer in July 2014 and made 28 appearances for the Nerazzurri in his first campaign, but did not feature for Roberto Mancini's side this season following surgery on a hernia in August. He joined Manchester United from Spartak Moscow in a £7m transfer in January 2006, and quickly formed a centre-back pairing with Rio Ferdinand. Sir Alex Ferguson's side secured a hat-trick of Premier League titles between 2007 and 2009, as well as the 2008 Champions League. Vidic won two further Premier League titles, in 2010-11 and 2012-13, and three League Cups, but his latter years at Old Trafford were badly affected by injuries, including ruptured cruciate knee ligaments against Basel in December 2011.

Rocky Taylor, a friend of 40 years standing, said the former BBC radio DJ and Crackerjack presenter had died in hospital in Bournemouth. Stewart's former brother-in-law, Adriano Henney, tweeted to say "Fun guy-Huge loss". Director of BBC Music Bob Shennan said Stewart had been a "stalwart" of popular music broadcasting. Mr Shennan said Stewart's shows had been enjoyed by millions of listeners. Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart: Your memories Stewart's BBC Radio 2 colleagues were extremely saddened, he said, adding: "We are thinking of Ed's friends and family at this difficult time." Stewart's fellow DJ from his early days on pirate radio, Tony Blackburn, who also went on to Radio 1, said Stewart would be missed. "A lovely guy, loved his golf and he loved playing the songs on Junior Choice. "I think he'll probably be best remembered for Junior Choice because he did that programme, I think, particularly well. "He was very, very good at that, and of course, on television." His former colleague and friend of 50 years, BBC DJ David Hamilton, said Stewart "was a little bit like a good wine; he just got better as time went on". The DJ, also known by the nickname "Diddy", said he spoke to his old friend just a few days ago. He said: "We used to play football together in the showbiz football team, we even once rode in a speedway race together at Wembley Stadium, so we've done a lot of things together. "He was a really good guy, Ed, and I really will miss him." His younger sister, Sue Mainwaring, 69, described him as hardworking, loyal and "such a good brother". "We had such fun. When he was on the pirates [radio stations] he had two weeks on and one week off - of which every weekend he'd invite everybody back for jazz sessions. Celebs used to come along, including Kenny Everett, David Hamilton, Tony Brandon. He loved jazz. He loved music." She said she had spent Christmas and New Year with him and other members of the family. Devon-born Stewart's broadcasting career spanned more than 50 years. He started out as an announcer, film critic and rugby reporter with Radio Hong Kong. In an interview with the Express newspaper in 2014, he said he had returned to England five years later and joined pirate radio ship Radio London, based four miles off shore. He was one of the first presenters on Radio 1 when it launched in 1967, and went on to become a regular Top of the Pops presenter in the 1970s. He was a regular Radio 2 presenter for 15 years, and during that time broadcast from the summits of Ben Nevis and Snowdon, Mount Vesuvius volcano in Italy, and also live from the Falkland Islands. On television, Stewart was best known for children's favourite Crackerjack. He hosted the show from 1973 to 1979. He was also a longstanding presenter of children's show Junior Choice, which last broadcast on BBC Radio 2 over Christmas. On it he coined his trademark catchphrase: '''Ello darling." In his sign-off at the end of his final programme, he thanked listeners, saying: "I'll be with you whenever, but have a great Christmas Day, won't you, folks?" Off air, he was a keen golfer and dedicated Everton FC fan. On Twitter, TV presenter Noel Edmonds left heartfelt messages about the man he called his "mentor". Edmonds joined BBC Radio 1 in 1969, taking over from the sacked Kenny Everett in 1970. At 21, he was the station's youngest DJ at the time. "In '67 Ed Stewart heard a DJ audition tape, liked it, passed it to Kenny Everett and my career was born. Stewpot I owe you everything xN," he tweeted. Former Radio 1 DJ and current Radio 2 broadcaster Simon Mayo wrote in a tweet: "How sad to hear of the passing of Ed Stewart. Junior Choice was always a radio classic". Celebrity astrologer Russell Grant tweeted: "So sad to hear an old DJ colleague of mine Ed Stewart 'Stewpot' has passed over. "I last worked with him on Radio Mercury. Happy memories." Coronation Street actor Les Dennis posted: "Sad to hear Ed "Stewpot" Stewart has died. A great broadcaster and a nice man." Stewart is survived by his two children, Francesca and Marco, and four grandchildren.

A number of options are being considered to improve care in the north of the county, including removing consultant-led services from Whitehaven's West Cumberland Hospital. The boss of North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust said it does not look like Whitehaven has the "infrastructure" to maintain services. Midwives have raised safety concerns. They have warned mothers and babies "may die" if consultant-led maternity services are removed from Whitehaven and concentrated at Carlisle Cumberland Infirmary. Trust chief executive Stephen Eames told BBC Cumbria: "The options we are looking at are likely to mean there will be changes in maternity services and they're likely to mean we'll need to concentrate our expertise in our consultant staff in one place. "Everybody involved would prefer a consultant-led service in both, but I think the reality is it isn't just about maternity, it's about the other clinical services that support it. "So while we've made some improvements in children's services recruitment it doesn't look like we can recruit the infrastructure to support two independent consultant-led services." Midwives at Whitehaven are concerned mothers facing unexpected problems would need a potentially risky 40-mile (64km) transfer across the county. Earlier this month, Bernadette Bowness said: "We're going to become a third world area because of our inaccessibility to a consultant-led unit. "If ladies have to be transferred, mothers may die, babies may die. "If babies have foetal distress, what with the transfer time they may end up brain damaged." A public consultation exercise will be launched next month to gauge opinion on the future direction of services provided by the trust. The organisation has been in special measures since 2014 after Care Quality Commission inspectors judged it to be failing to provide a sufficiently high level of care in a number of areas.

Whatever bridges have been or are being built, Brussels' day of terror threatens to blow them all away. And that, to be sure, is exactly what the attackers in Zaventem airport and the Brussels subway meant to do. As the police sirens wailed around my office all morning, I was overwhelmed, rendered speechless. That was not the case for everyone. Was it just the temptation to vent anger, or a pent-up polarisation, that filled Twitter and Facebook with such noxious opinion? Sweeping generalisations, calls for exclusion, purging, a police state. Like whiplash after a collision, first you hit the steering wheel, then you get thrown back - twice broken. What we know so far Why was Brussels attacked? Victims and survivors I have no way to know what is inside the heads - let alone the hearts - of the bombers, though the signposts seem clear enough. They don't wage war, but they sow terror, fear, mistrust. "Will I take the metro to get to the station?" "What's that large suitcase doing there?" "Does that man look suspicious?" Division. Rage, and rage combined with fear and suspicion, makes hatred. Terrorists know exactly how to fix a deadly cocktail, but are the rest of us compelled to drink it? Those who are now calling for an iron-fisted response to knock "the Other" senseless, are screaming out their impotence: their inability to comprehend this inhuman violence, but also their incomprehension of why this violence can exist. We all share that inability and incomprehension today. The hate that comes with it, for some, at its worst creates for the low-minded a chance for political opportunism. What we need are bridges and oneness. We should embrace everybody who rejects political violence. We need everyone. Today the urgencies precede the nuances: we must care for the wounded, avert the imminent threat, bury the dead, clear the rubble. But the next task is to avoid having the wedge that the terrorist exploded into our society be driven deeper and steadier by angry citizens. We urgently need an effective answer to violent radicalisation. Some people have been working on finding that answer, but we need it faster - as soon as we discard our torn garb, admit and acknowledge our grief, focus our anger and face the damage. The work that lies in front of us is wide-ranging, but it should involve us all. It is easier to formulate the mission than to execute it, but we know that we cannot move forward without starting, immediately, by building a consensus around that mission, in order to make the reaction to these attacks inclusive instead of divisive. The first priority of our governments - and we have lots of them in little Belgium - is to guarantee an effective security for all citizens, with all the resources that takes. Those same governments should also as a priority invest in the society they have to protect: in trust, in the opportunity to have a future, in spaces of encounter, in democratic debate, in the belief that every call to defend "our values" does literally concern every citizen. Our leaders must stand tall and adopt the manner of then Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg following Anders Breivik's attacks in 2012: "We are still shocked by what has happened, but we will never give up our values. Our response is more democracy, more openness, and more humanity. We will answer hatred with love." Terror aims first at citizens, but they need not be solely its first victims; they can become the first responders. The unity we need embraces disagreement, because the society we need and want to defend is democratic, pluralistic and diverse. We might understand today that ugly prejudices seep through the fissures that the attacks created in the social fabric, but tomorrow people of all persuasions and inspirations should join hands to mend both the fissures and the prejudices. We urgently need new scaffolding to repair the bombed bridges and to reconstruct a (better) way of living together. Words that are drenched in vitriol today are multiplied by social networks - those which always function, even when roads are blocked, trains stand still and mobile networks fail. They must be washed clean so they can be re-used for better purposes. E pluribus unum, reads the United States seal: "one from many", unity from diversity. That is what Belgium, and the whole world, needs. Belgium's motto is "Unity makes strength". Let us build that strength and use it to make this world both safe and just, for everyone. Because alone, one-legged, we will not be able to span the gap created by the terrorists in Brussels.

"You know if you don't want to entice a rapist, don't wear high heels so you can't run from him," she said, in an interview in the Sunday Times. The Pretenders singer, 63, said she takes "full responsibility" after she was sexually assaulted aged 21 in Ohio. "If I'm walking around in my underwear and I'm drunk. Who else's fault can it be?" Hynde told Krissi Murison. In her recently completed autobiography, Reckless, Hynde recounts how she was forced to perform sexual acts on members of an Ohio motorcycle gang who had promised to take her to a party, but instead took her to an abandoned house. "Technically speaking, however you want to look at it, this was all my doing and I take full responsibility," said the singer, who recalled being high on drugs at the time. "If I'm walking around and I'm very modestly dressed and I'm keeping to myself and someone attacks me, then I'd say that's his fault. But if I'm being very lairy and putting it about and being provocative, then you are enticing someone who's already unhinged - don't do that. Come on! That's just common sense." "I don't think I am saying anything controversial, am I?" she concluded. Dismissive response But her comments were condemned by the charity Victim Support who said that victims "should not blame themselves". Lucy Hastings, director of Victim Support, said: "Victims of sexual violence should never feel or be made to feel that they were responsible for the appalling crime they suffered - regardless of circumstances or factors which may have made them particularly vulnerable. "They should not blame themselves or be blamed for failing to prevent an attack - often they will have been targeted by predatory offenders who are responsible for their actions." The response on Twitter was equally dismissive. "Chrissie Hynde has completely destroyed her feminist legacy in one ignorant, appalling statement", tweeted Andrew. Dear Chrissie Hynde. NOTHING ever justifies the rape or sexual assault of a woman. It's the abusers fault only. Love. A Man", tweeted Antony. "Thing about rapists is that they're rapists. They don't care what victims wear. Their impulse is to rape. They're rapists. Chrissie Hynde", wrote Jill. But there was also some sympathy. "People criticising Chrissie Hynde for her comments are overlooking that she is a victim and this is self blame. I feel v sorry for her tbh", tweeted Stephanie. While the Guardian's Hadley Freeman echoed her thoughts: "Many people seem furious with Chrissie Hynde, and I get why, but I feel pity for her. Imagine blaming y/self for sthg so awful for so long."

Prosecutors accuse Fifa president Sepp Blatter of making a "disloyal payment" of $2m (£1.6m) to Mr Platini. Mr Platini has provided information to the investigation but said he did so as a witness. Both men deny any wrongdoing. Mr Platini has said he is still determined to run for Fifa president once Mr Blatter steps down. Asked whether criminal proceedings had been opened against him, Mr Platini said: "Absolutely not. I was heard last week by the Swiss Authorities only as a person providing information and I cooperated fully." But this was contradicted by the Swiss attorney general, Michael Lauber, who said: "We didn't interview Mr Platini as a witness, that's not true. We investigated against him in between as a witness and an accused person." Mr Lauber also said he was prepared to search the Uefa headquarters as part of the investigation. The allegations centre on a payment made to Mr Platini in 2011 at Fifa's expense for work he completed almost a decade earlier. It came just two months before Uefa gave its backing to Blatter's 2011 presidential campaign, leading some to question the timing of it. Mr Platini said he was told when starting the work that Fifa would not be able to pay him all the money because of its "financial situation". But Fifa accounts show a revenue surplus of around $83m (£55m) from 1999-2002, when Mr Platini undertook the work as a technical adviser. Fifa was thrown into turmoil this year when the US and Swiss authorities launched separate investigations into corruption at the body. Mr Blatter is also suspected of signing a contract that was "unfavourable to Fifa". He is due to stand down next year, but says he will carry on in the role despite the criminal proceedings.

Another five soldiers were wounded in a rocket attack on Turkish tanks, the military said in a statement. The fatalities are believed to be the first since Turkey launched its operation inside Syria two weeks ago. Two fighters from the Free Syrian Army were also killed and another two injured in the attack. "Two of our hero comrades were martyred and five were wounded in a rocket attack on two of our tanks by Daesh (IS) elements," the army statement said. The rocket attack was launched near the village of al-Waqf, it added. Syrian rebels backed by Turkey say they have recaptured a number of villages from IS since the Turkish operation - code-named Euphrates Shield - began. The rebels have also retaken the key border town of Jarabulus. On Sunday, Turkey said IS fighters were pushed out of their last positions along the Turkish-Syrian border. Turkish forces have targeted IS inside Syria, but have also attacked Kurdish fighters in the same region. The pursuit of the Kurdish YPG militia has led to criticism by Washington, which regards the Kurds as one of the most effective forces in the battle against IS.

15 July 2016 Last updated at 07:23 BST The British astronaut made history when he floated into the International Space Station.

Besik Kudukhov, who won freestyle 60kg silver at London 2012, died in 2013. He was found to have taken the steroid turinabol when the World Anti-Doping Agency re-tested samples this year. An International Olympic Committee (IOC) disciplinary committee said the case has "now terminated its investigation with no action taken". Indian wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt - who finished third in London - tweeted in August on hearing of the failed test: "If possible he must be allowed to keep the medal. It will keep his family's honour intact. For me humanity is above everything else." Vice-president of United World Wrestling, Georgy Bryusov said: "The IOC will not deprive Besik Kudukhov of his silver medal".

A court granted an eviction order to the theatre's owners on technical grounds. The comedian can stay there pending an appeal. Dieudonne has several convictions for anti-Semitism, hate speech and glorifying terrorism. His most recent was after the Islamist attack in January on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The theatre's owners said his current theatre company had no right to the lease, which had been made out to the previous incarnation of the company. Several French cities have banned the comedian from performing. He rose to prominence through the invention of the "quenelle", a hand gesture critics have likened to an inverted Nazi salute. He insists he is not anti-Semitic.

Felix, who can also play as a striker, made 32 appearances in all competitions for the National League North club last season, scoring five goals. The 21-year-old joined Boston in 2014 from Southern Football League Premier Division side St Neots Town. York were relegated from League Two last season, having won only seven league games.

The attack happened on Shakespeare Street in the early hours of Monday morning. A Police Scotland spokesman said officers were looking for two men in connection with the incident. The injured man was said to be in a stable condition.

Alonso's win moved him into third in the standings, 17 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull, who is four ahead of Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen. "We have a competitive package, especially on Sundays," Alonso said. "We need to make it a little faster on Saturdays. We are working on that but it is looking good." The supporters will have a smile for one afternoon, one night, and it is not the easiest time for the country at the moment Alonso qualified only fifth in Spain but fought through to win after moving up to third on the first lap and then using an aggressive four-stop strategy that allowed him to exploit the Ferrari's race pace. It was his second victory of the year, to follow on from a win in China last month, and he finished second to Raikkonen in Australia, the only other race in which he has not had problems. In Malaysia, he damaged his front wing in a collision with Vettel on lap one and then retired when it broke after he did not come in to change it. In Bahrain, he finished eighth after problems with his DRS overtaking aid. Alonso said: "We have only had five races in the championship. In these five races, we have nearly two retirements and without this we were maybe leading now a little comfortably. "So what we need to do is have consistent podium results for the next four or five races and that will bring us a lot of points to put in the pocket." Alonso had a scare when one of his tyres got a puncture before his final pit stop, but the team were able to bring him in two laps earlier than planned to avoid a problem. "We decided to play safe after Malaysia, where we were a little bit brave trying to do one extra lap with the front wing broken and we crashed in that lap. "Here it could have affected the strategy because it was stopping too early, but it was OK and didn't affect the result." The victory was Alonso's third in his home country, following his 2006 Spanish Grand Prix win for Renault and last year's victory in the European Grand Prix in Valencia. He was cheered by the packed grandstands and afterwards paid tribute to the fans, making a reference to the troubled economic situation in Spain as a result of the Eurozone crisis. "It is fantastic," he said. "Winning at home is always like you did it for the first time. It is the third time for me but each time is always different, like a new experience. "The supporters will have a smile for one afternoon, one night, and it is not the easiest time for the country at the moment, so I'm happy for them and thanks to them for the support." Raikkonen finished runner-up to Alonso, his third second place in a row, and said: "We are here to try to win races and championships. I want to win; the team wants to win. "It's disappointing to finish second but if anything we gained some points on Sebastian today so something good came out of today. "It helps if you cannot win to be second but I don't think it is enough in the long run. We have to keep finishing higher up and when we have a bad day try to make the best out of them and try to minimise them." Vettel finished fourth for the second time this season, beaten to the final podium spot by Ferrari's Felipe Massa. "I wouldn't talk about frustration," said Vettel, who has taken two wins and a third place in the other two races this season. "We still finished fourth and got some good points, we wanted more but we just didn't have the tyres to fight with the guys in front. We can be happy with fourth."

In the other group, qualification will go down to the final day of matches, after bottom side Al Ahly finally recorded a win - beating leaders Wydad Casablanca 1-0. Zambia's Zesco are tied with Wydad after being held 1-1 by Asec Mimosas of Ivory Coast, who have the same number of points as Ahly. The loss led to the resignation of Zamalek coach Mohamed Helmi, while captain Hazem Emam has been suspended over an altercation with a team member. Zamalek chairman accepted Helmi's resignation and has appointed Mohamed Salah as interim coach. An own-goal from Zamalek's Ali Gabr in the 79th minute secured Sundowns' qualification to complete a remarkable turnaround for the South Africans in the Champions League. Sundowns had been eliminated in the final qualifying round for the Champions League last April by AS Vita Club from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Demoted to the second-tier Confederation Cup, Sundowns were beaten by Medeama of Ghana in a play-off to suffer further African disappointment. But on the eve of the June draw for the Champions League groups, the organisers kicked out Vita Club for using a banned player and Sundowns were reinstated. The victory over Zamalek puts Sundowns top of Group B on nine points - six ahead of Zamalek in second. We still have to do the business "The gap is getting closer and closer between us and the north Africans," Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane said after the win. But he cautioned that Sundowns' hard work could come to nothing if they fail to win the title. "There's a little bit of bragging rights in beating Zamalek, but we still have to do the business," he said. Bottom side Enyimba of Nigeria are yet to register a point after two matches in this group which is reduced to three teams following Entente Setif's disqualification. Enyimba and Zamalek play in the final round of group matches to decide which of them will join Sundowns in the last four. In Group A, Wydad Casablanca of Morocco and Zesco United of Zambia also had the chance to secure semi-finals places if they both won their matches on Wednesday. However, Zesco United were held to a draw away to Asec Mimosas in Abidjan to open up the group and keep ASEC's faint hopes of progressing alive. Asec piled on the pressure on Zesco with a 75th minute strike from Nabi Kone, but the visitors responded five minutes later with an equaliser from Jackson Mwanza. The result left Zesco level on seven points with leaders Wydad Casablanca who were beaten at home by bottom-of-the-table Al Ahly of Egypt in the late match. Asec are a further three points behind. Ahly had managed just one point from their first three games but Rami Rabia's goal early in the second half in Morocco gave them a fine away win. Ahly play Zesco and Asec take on Wydad in the final round of matches, so all four teams from Group A still have hopes of going through to the last four.

The full cost of damage in Newton Stewart, one of the areas worst affected, is still being assessed. Repair work is ongoing in Hawick and many roads in Peeblesshire remain badly affected by standing water. Trains on the west coast mainline face disruption due to damage at the Lamington Viaduct. Many businesses and householders were affected by flooding in Newton Stewart after the River Cree overflowed into the town. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visited the area to inspect the damage. The waters breached a retaining wall, flooding many commercial properties on Victoria Street - the main shopping thoroughfare. Jeanette Tate, who owns the Cinnamon Cafe which was badly affected, said she could not fault the multi-agency response once the flood hit. However, she said more preventative work could have been carried out to ensure the retaining wall did not fail. "It is difficult but I do think there is so much publicity for Dumfries and the Nith - and I totally appreciate that - but it is almost like we're neglected or forgotten," she said. "That may not be true but it is perhaps my perspective over the last few days. "Why were you not ready to help us a bit more when the warning and the alarm alerts had gone out?" Meanwhile, a flood alert remains in place across the Borders because of the constant rain. Peebles was badly hit by problems, sparking calls to introduce more defences in the area. Scottish Borders Council has put a list on its website of the roads worst affected and drivers have been urged not to ignore closure signs. The Labour Party's deputy Scottish leader Alex Rowley was in Hawick on Monday to see the situation first hand. He said it was important to get the flood protection plan right but backed calls to speed up the process. "I was quite taken aback by the amount of damage that has been done," he said. "Obviously it is heart-breaking for people who have been forced out of their homes and the impact on businesses." He said it was important that "immediate steps" were taken to protect the areas most vulnerable and a clear timetable put in place for flood prevention plans.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said the 20-year-old would be out for "a few weeks" after leaving him out of his squad to play Arsenal on Sunday. Pochettino said Alli "twisted his knee in a clash with a team-mate". England play Scotland on Friday and Spain the following Tuesday at Wembley. "I hope it is not a big issue, it's bad luck, he's an important player for us," Pochettino added. "He will be out for a few weeks. We need to assess him today, tomorrow. That is football and sometimes it happens."

Jacob Murphy fired in a 25-yard shot, his first goal for the club, to set the Canaries on their way on 12 minutes. Further goals from Wes Hoolahan and Cameron Jerome then put Alex Neil's men three up inside 25 minutes. Steven Naismith added a fourth before Rovers half-time substitute Anthony Stokes headed a debut Ewood Park goal. Norwich failed to score in five of their last six games in the Premier League - but Alex Neil's side wasted no time in putting that right as they enjoyed their first opening-day victory in 14 years. In new Blackburn boss Coyle's first game in charge since succeeding former Norwich manager Paul Lambert, his outclassed side were fighting a massive uphill battle before the new season was even half an hour old. After scoring 10 times last season on loan at Coventry, 21-year-old Murphy netted just 12 minutes into his Canaries debut when he wriggled clear from Adam Henley and was allowed to turn before blasting home a fabulous strike from well outside the box. Five minutes later, Hoolahan's left-foot shot found the bottom left corner before Jerome found the net for number three. And, on 57 minutes, Naismith's left-foot shot found the bottom right corner. Stokes' late consolation could not prevent Norwich's third win at Blackburn in 19 visits, and their second in a row, having won 2-1 on their last trip to Ewood in February 2015. Blackburn Rovers manager Owen Coyle: "I don't think it's one that we wanted, envisaged or anticipated. We started the first 10 minutes very well, on the front foot, and for all intents and purposes, we looked fine. "Then the lad scores a wonder goal. I'm not sure he'll score too many goals as good as that in his career, but that's the quality Norwich City have. "They've been clinical and ruthless and punished us for every mistake we've made. Having said that, it's important that in those areas where the Hoolahans and Naismiths are popping the ball off, that we get pressure on the ball and get that tackle in. "With all due respect, with the first three goals and even the fourth one, we allowed them time to play and, when good players pass and move at pace, it causes anybody problems." Norwich City boss Alex Neil: "Jacob Murphy earned his start. I played him against Hannover last week. I took him off because I had to solidify the middle of the pitch. "I spoke to him throughout the week and said 'I'm not now fixing Hannover, I'm preparing to beat Blackburn.' He's responded. It's a fantastic strike. "He's got the pace to terrify defenders, as he showed with his goal. He's got something in his locker where he can win a game with his quality. "We wanted to play in a manner which people are going to sit up and take notice of us and know that we mean business this season, and we did all that, which was really pleasing."

A Libyan military spokesman told the BBC that the ship's movements at the port of Derna had aroused suspicion. The oil company rejected this, saying the ship was delivering fuel to industrial facilities there and the authorities had been kept informed. Derna has been controlled by Islamist militants for the past two years. The Libyan military attacked the port several times last year in an attempt to weaken militant groups there. The military spokesman, Colonel Ahmed Mesmari, said the tanker had been targeted because it had failed to submit to an inspection before entering the port. He said the vessel was supposed to dock at a power plant in Derna but instead "took a different route", entering a "military zone". "We asked the ship to stop, but instead it turned off all its lights and would not respond so we were obliged to strike it. "We bombed it twice," he said. Libya's National Oil Corporation said the tanker had picked up 13,000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil in Brega, a port south of Libya's second city, Benghazi, which it was due to deliver to a power plant and water purification facility in Derna. It said the vessel was attacked before it could enter the port to unload its cargo. There were 26 crew members on board the ship, Araevo, including nationals from the Philippines, Greece and Romania. Two were injured in Sunday's attack, in addition to those killed. The Liberian-flagged tanker is operated by an Athens-based shipping company, Aegean Shipping Enterprises Company. The company said there was no leakage of oil and it was assessing the damage. Col Mesmari told Reuters the vessel had been bringing Islamist fighters to Derna. "We had warned any ship not to dock at the port without prior permission," he was quoted as saying. The National Oil Corporation did not comment on the allegation but said the bombing of the tanker would have a "very negative" impact on oil shipping from Libyan ports. It said it remained neutral in the conflict in Libya and the incident would hinder its ability to maintain supplies within the local market. Libya has been in chaos since its long-time leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, was overthrown with Western military help in 2011. Numerous militias govern their own patches of territory, with successive governments struggling to exercise control. The competition for power and resources has led to frequent fighting and battles to control facilities, including ports, linked to Libya's oil industry. The internationally recognised government is based in Tobruk, near the Egyptian border, having been expelled from the capital, Tripoli, by militias in 2014. A rival militia-backed administration now controls the capital while Benghazi is largely in the hands of Islamist fighters.

The group of boys and girls, aged between 11 and 14, were reported missing after failing to return to the Carrbridge area. A Coastguard helicopter found the group waving and flashing lights at a remote bothy. As the helicopter crew approached them, one of the group asked: "Are we in trouble." The scouts were on a practice hike for an award, with adult supervisors waiting for them to return. When the got lost, they made their way to a remote bothy on the River Dulnain, seven miles from their original camp at Sluggan Bridge. They had lit a fire inside the building to keep warm when it turned dark and the weather began to get colder. Aircraft captain Simon Hammock said: "They had travelled a significant distance across uneven ground, and as the weather deteriorated had elected to seek shelter in a bothy. "Their scouting training had been put to good use and had ultimately ensured their safety." He added: "When we returned them to their camp they were met with open arms by the other cubs and scouts. A great result." The scouts were airlifted back to Sluggan Bridge. The alarm had been raised by the rest of the group at about 18:45 when they failed to return and they were found at about 20:40. Insp Mike Middlehurst, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a very well co-ordinated operation and we are very grateful to our partners, especially Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team and the local estate staff, whose local knowledge and expertise helped locate the children quickly and safely. "The group was well equipped with maps, food and water and thankfully they did the right thing by seeking shelter in the bothy which helped with finding them."

The Endeavour project has bought a former German harbour ferry for £1 with the hope of raising £3m to restore the 59-year-old rusting vessel. A service used to link Liverpool with the Welsh resort, while en route to the Isle of Man, 30 years ago. "The money is coming from some private investors," said restorer Steve Payne. "We have some fund-raising ourselves and then we've had some bequests come in as well." The 55-metre long vessel, first launched in Hamburg in 1958, has been rusting in Liverpool docks since 1994 when an attempt to turn her into a floating bar on Liverpool's famous Albert Dock failed. Enthusiasts, headed by Mr Payne, saved her from scrap in 2016 with the dream of offering three-hour summer day trips for up to 450 people from Liverpool to Llandudno. The Endeavour's two diesel engines will have to be refurbished while the lifeboats have been sent to Norway for an overhaul. Many of the ship's fittings need replacing and even the ship's wheel has been stolen. "If we were to build a ship this size, new at the moment, we'd be looking around £25m-£30m," said Mr Payne, secretary of the Liverpool and North Wales Steam Ship Company. "We have the basis of a very, very good ship here." Mr Payne is confident the new limited company can meet the health and safety requirements necessary to allow The Endeavour leave her berth in Liverpool's Canada Dock again. The Endeavour has no history of sailing in British waters but Mr Payne believes she is the ideal ship for traditional summer day trippers. "You can't find ships like this any more," he said. "There's not a major UK connection but we want to establish a new connection for this ship so children can have a chance to experience this in 25 years time the way their grandparents did."

Students and staff at the INTO language skills centre in the Haymarket area had to leave the building on Tuesday night. A bomb disposal team performed a controlled explosion on the Town Moor in the early hours. An 18-year-old man was arrested in London. The university said the campus was now open as normal. No-one was reported injured and police said there was no danger to the public. A spokesman for Newcastle University said: "The INTO building is now open for staff and students following last night's evacuation and we are working closely with Northumbria Police with their on-going inquiries." Roads in the area reopened before 01:00 BST. A spokesman for Northumbria Police said: "Residents around Newcastle Town Moor may have heard a slight bang and I would like to reassure them this is in connection with the incident at the University and was planned. "Inquiries are in the early stages and we are working closely with Newcastle University. "There is currently no cause for concern for students and the wider community." Newcastle University caters for more than 22,000 UK and international students and has 1,200 academic staff. The INTO Centre offers facilities for more than 700 mainly international students and is spread over four floors.

Developers are investigating the possibility of constructing up to 14 turbines on a site between St John's Town of Dalry and Carsphairn. North Galloway Wind Energy, a subsidiary of West Coast Energy, claims Knocknalling wind farm could generate 44.8MW of energy over its 25-years. A scoping report for the project has been submitted to Dumfries and Galloway Council. It has laid out plans to erect the 150m (492ft) tall turbines over a 12-month construction period. A spokesman for West Coast Energy confirmed that they have begun to survey the area. He added: "This is a standard procedure that is carried out by the business on a range of sites across the UK to assess the viability or otherwise of developing a project on that site. "The carrying out of this work in no way constitutes a statement of intent regarding future development. "Any local people who are affected by the assessment activities are urged to contact West Coast Energy by email at communication@westcoastenergy.co.uk."

Mr Haigh has been accused of fraud by the Dubai-based group and is currently in custody while authorities decide whether to pursue a criminal case. Speaking from his cell, he told the BBC he would reveal "damaging allegations" about the group's financial conduct. GFH Capital said it could not comment on "general accusations". Mr Haigh, 36, was employed by GFH when it purchased Leeds United in December 2012 but resigned as an employee following the club's takeover in April. Speaking exclusively from the Dubai police cell, he claimed one allegation about GFH concerned the run-up to the purchase of Leeds United from Ken Bates for more than £17m in December 2012. A GFH Capital spokesman said: "GFH cannot and will not comment on such general allegations, and is concerned about Mr Haigh's protestations of being unable to engage with the claim against him while apparently being able to brief the media at will." The allegations were contained in a dossier compiled by Mr Haigh "about GFH's professional conduct and practices", according to a statement released on his behalf by UK-based spokesman Ian Monk. "David shared its full contents with two senior figures at GFH in Bahrain who are thus aware of what it contains," Mr Monk added. Mr Haigh is accused of profiting from falsified invoices worth about £3m while at GFH Capital and prosecutors are investigating whether to press criminal charges. Mr Haigh returned to Dubai last month believing he was about to discuss a job offer with his former employer - only to be handed over to the police. He has now been detained, without charge, for more than a month. Dubai law states that if someone is suspected of cheating, a breach of trust or fraud they can be detained for as long as necessary, based on the complexities of the investigation. In his interview with the BBC, Mr Haigh was softly spoken but appeared extremely anxious. He said he felt "trapped", not by the UAE's legal system - with which he has no complaints - but by the lack of resources in the cell. The former managing director is one of about 40 detainees, all of whom are denied access to pens and have to share a single payphone. Mr Haigh said he was allowed very little time with his legal team in order to mount a defence and was particularly exasperated about his bail of about £3.5m - an amount he said he did not have. GFH Capital said it had no control over the criminal investigation being carried out by the Dubai authorities. Mr Haigh told the BBC he underwent stomach surgery in the UK before flying to Dubai and remains in lots of pain and unable to eat solid foods. One of his teeth is also causing him pain and he says he has to take medication to sleep. He continues to deny all of the charges but told the BBC he regretted "signing blank cheques" and allowing others to act on his behalf, prompted by his hectic travel schedule while working at GFH Capital. GFH Capital has previously categorically denied that it, or its lawyers, have behaved in any way inappropriately. The private equity company said it had absolute confidence in the legal systems of both Dubai and the UK, which are investigating the civil and criminal claims against Mr Haigh.

Gilbert Corette, 45, admitted the manslaughter of his mother, 81-year-old Florise Corette, last month. He also admitted causing grievous bodily harm to his sister on the grounds of diminished responsibility. The judge said it was a "terribly sad and tragic case". Corette, of Manor Avenue, Brockley, south London, was given a hospital order and restriction order with no time limit to protect the public. The Old Bailey heard he was diagnosed with a depressive condition and Asperger's syndrome in 2010. The court was told the supermarket shelf-stacker was sectioned in March 2015 and admitted to Ladywell Unit located at Lewisham Hospital. The specialist unit for patients with mental health disorders is managed by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. In July his condition and behaviour was judged to have become more stable and he was allowed to go unescorted to his mother's home in Lochaber Road on day release. Later that day he refused to return to hospital and said he feared his life was in danger. The court heard he picked up a champagne bottle and hit his sister, saying he "had to do it". He then went downstairs and attacked his mother, who was frightened of him and had padlocked some of the rooms. A post-mortem examination found she died of head injuries. Judge Wide said he was satisfied the defendant was suffering from a mental disorder. A family statement said: "The last nine months have been an incredibly difficult time for all of us, but we welcome the sentence of the court so that now Gilbert can get the full care and treatment he deserves. "We have serious concerns and questions about how he came to be released when clearly unwell, on the day he killed our mother, and will await the forthcoming NHS investigation with interest. "We sincerely hope that it makes a real difference, so that tragedies like this can never happen to any other family in London ever again." South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust said: "We offer our full condolences to the family in this tragic case. We have carried out a thorough internal investigation into the care and treatment of Mr Gilbert Corette and shared this with his family." It said it was also involved with an ongoing domestic homicide review into the death and would not comment further until the review was published.

Despite their differences over Brexit and the legacy of the Troubles, the DUP and Sinn Féin maintained remarkable discipline after first the UUP, then the SDLP decided to leave the executive. Until mid-December, the two parties' joint approach also extended to the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scandal. When a BBC Spotlight investigation into the RHI affair stirred widespread public concern, both parties appeared to be making progress behind the scenes in arranging some kind of an investigation. This would have supplemented the Public Accounts Committee which had been taking evidence on the scandal since September. But after former DUP minister Jonathan Bell broke ranks on a Nolan TV special on 15 December those attempts to manage the crisis within the walls of Stormont Castle broke down. Then came the disastrous assembly sitting of 19 December, when the DUP decided to override Sinn Féin's concerns, pressing ahead with an Arlene Foster statement against Martin McGuinness's express wishes. On the day, Sinn Féin's warning of "grave consequences" looked like the party might just be crying wolf. But in reality the die was cast, as republican grassroots anger grew. The former Northern Ireland Secretary Lord Hain reckons Arlene Foster's handling of the fall-out from the scandal has been a "textbook case of how not to manage a crisis". Certainly the DUP has appeared to be caught napping by the speed with which this affair developed - offering concessions, expressions of regret or offers of inquiries too late to appease its critics. The heating scandal has ignited the election, but will the battle ahead be a referendum on the RHI scandal as the Stormont opposition wants? For different reasons, both the DUP and Sinn Féin are keen on widening the battleground. The DUP is framing the contest as an attempt to "take Arlene Foster down" and to push through investigations which would put soldiers and police officers in the dock over controversial Troubles killings. Sinn Féin say it's all about the DUP's arrogance and the failure of both the DUP and the UK government to deliver on commitments in relation to the former jail at Maze/Long Kesh, the treatment of the Irish language and the logjam over the legacy of the troubles. Over and above these policy matters, it look likely that any fresh talks on the other side of the election will have to consider potential structural changes at Stormont. Should the mandatory coalition, whereby all the major parties have a right to be in government, be abandoned in favour of a more conventional voluntary coalition? Should weighted majority voting be introduced? Should Northern Ireland have two joint first ministers rather than a first and deputy first? Should there be radical changes to the petition of concern system which has led to frequent cross-community vetoes? In the light of Brexit, are the cross-border institutions created under the Good Friday Agreement in need of reform? All this looks like the stuff of talks which will last far longer than the three weeks the law allows to form a new executive after the March election. Whilst the major parties may talk about all this and more, expect their critics to use the campaign ahead to remind voters what brought Stormont down. It seems hard to imagine that the DUP and Sinn Féin won't emerge again as the main players. But we won't know until the votes are counted exactly what impact the negative publicity generated by the heating scandal has had on public opinion and party allegiance. Could a shift in opinion, for example, endanger the DUP's power to veto measures without requiring the assistance of other parties, for which 30 MLAs are required? That point might be rendered academic if there is no Stormont assembly in which to wield a petition of concern. Nevertheless the public can have their say in this election, even if it is only to determine the relative weights the parties will be able to throw around in the potentially protracted negotiations coming up.

The bridge has been closed on May Day morning since 2005 after 40 people were injured jumping into the river. Traditionally, thousands of people gather on and around Magdalen Bridge to hear choristers sing hymns at dawn from the tower at Magdalen College. The city and county councils and police have worked to "ensure a safe" event. Last year, about 30 revellers ignored safety warnings and broke through barriers to jump from the bridge. The water is shallow and the county council said the cost to the health service in 2005 was about £50,000. Police urged people not to "abuse" the decision to allow pedestrians access this year. Many other events will take place across the city, including morris men dancing in Radcliffe Square, Catte Street and Broad Street. Oxford City Council and the county's cultural development agency, Oxford Inspires, are both working with an event producer responsible for other big occasions in the city. The leader of Oxford City Council, Councillor Bob Price, said: "We have been working closely with the police and Oxfordshire County Council to ensure a safe and enjoyable event with Magdalen Bridge open, as it has traditionally been, and we are delighted that this collaboration has had a successful outcome." Oxford commander, Supt Amanda Pearson, said: "Thames Valley Police supports the decision taken by the council to reopen Magdalen Bridge to the public for this year's May Morning celebrations, and will work closely with our partners to ensure this is done in a safe way. "I would urge people to recognise this decision is one that has been made to further their enjoyment of this unique celebration, and not to abuse it."

NHS Health Scotland found that a ban on multi-buy drinks promotions was among a number of successful initiatives. However, it warned that more needed to be done to ensure the improvements continued, including the introduction of a minimum price for alcohol. The report is the final review of the Scottish government's alcohol strategy, which was introduced in 2009. Before then, high and increasing levels of alcohol consumption were closely linked to increasing alcohol harm. Studies had shown that alcohol may have caused the deaths of one in 20 of the Scots who died in 2003. And half of Scotland's prisoners said they were drunk when they committed their offence. The government's "framework for action" outlined 41 steps to reduce alcohol consumption, and support families and communities. A key policy - a minimum price for alcohol - has not been introduced because it is subject to a legal challenge by the Scotch Whisky Association. Clare Beeston, from NHS Health Scotland, said the country continued to "pay a heavy price" for high levels of alcohol consumption. She added: "The picture has improved but levels of alcohol-related harm remain high - on average 22 people in Scotland die every week because of alcohol." She warned that the decline in alcohol consumption and harm may have slowed or stalled recently. "We need to continue to push for the most effective ways to reduce the amount of alcohol Scotland drinks," she said. "These are to reduce the affordability, availability and promotion of alcohol. "A minimum unit price for alcohol is one of the best ways to reduce drinking in the heaviest drinkers and tackle the alcohol related health inequalities." The report highlighted the success of several parts of the strategy: It also found that external factors, such as a fall in disposable income, were likely to have had an impact on alcohol trends. Public Health Minister Maureen Watt said: "We have seen reductions in alcohol-related harm and this is of course welcome. "However, harm rates are still higher than they were 20 years ago and higher than in England and Wales, so now is not the time to be complacent." She added: "The report also recognises that a key element of the alcohol framework - minimum unit pricing - has yet to be implemented due to a legal challenge from parts of the alcohol industry and this has impacted on the progress made. "Given the link between consumption and harm, and evidence that affordability is a key driver of increased consumption, addressing price is an important element of any long-term strategy to tackle alcohol misuse and, as such, we remain committed to introducing minimum unit pricing."

The Seattle Reign midfielder marked the occasion with an unstoppable strike on 39 minutes to send Wales 2-1 up. Georgia Evans and Natasha Harding got Wales' other goals while Rachel Furness scored from the spot for Northern Ireland after Kayleigh Green handled. It was also a special day for Notts County Ladies midfielder Angharad James who won her 50th Wales cap. Wales are playing Northern Ireland twice in two days in preparation for the upcoming Fifa Women's World Cup Qualifying campaign. Qualification begins in September for the tournament in France in 2019, with the draw taking place in April. Wales and Northern Ireland meet again at Ystrad Mynach on Friday, 7 April.

Gorka Marquez needed dental surgery after two of his lower jaw front teeth were badly chipped in Blackpool. The BBC said he was attacked by a gang of youths while reportedly walking to a nightclub with colleagues on Saturday. A Strictly spokesman said Mr Marquez "doesn't wish to make a formal complaint" and "just wants to move on". The 26-year-old Spaniard was in the Lancashire resort for a live edition of the show from Blackpool Tower Ballroom when he was the victim of an "unprovoked incident". Mr Marquez was getting out of a car when a "random group of lads" ran past and assaulted him, the Strictly spokesman added. A Lancashire Police spokesperson said: "We have checked CCTV and spoken to the club and inquiries continue. "We have had no formal complaint from Mr Marquez." After the attack, Marquez tweeted: "Thanks for all your kind messages and support about Blackpool. "It was a bad experience but I'm feeling better and just want to look forward to the show on Saturday!" Mr Marquez made his Strictly debut in this year's series and had been partnering EastEnders actress Tameka Empson, who plays Kim Fox in the BBC soap. They were eliminated in the second round but Marquez has continued to appear in the programme as part of the weekly group routines.

Economic nationalists like senior adviser Steve Bannon view withdrawal as visible way for the US to demonstrate that it's putting its own economic interests ahead of the concerns of the "international community". Movement conservatives, including Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt, are keen to strike a blow to the environmentalist coalition, which they view as creeping socialism cloaked in an earth-friendly guise. Meanwhile Mr Trump's working-class supporters - particularly those in the economically distressed coal-producing regions of West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania that delivered an Electoral College victory to the president - are more concerned about jobs and their way of life, rather than the distant, amorphous threat of rising sea levels or shifting climate patterns. Ivanka Trump, along with her husband (and senior White House adviser) Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defence James Mattis, were reportedly strong advocates for remaining in the agreement - for a range of environmental, diplomatic and national security reasons. The president's daughter even arranged for her father to meet politician-turned-activist Al Gore to discuss the issue during the presidential transition. The efforts always figured to be an uphill battle, however, given the issues and interests that formed the heart of Mr Trump's presidential campaign. Mr Trump once notably called global warming a "hoax" perpetrated by the Chinese, but over the course of last year's campaign he was largely silent on environmental issues. He spoke early and often about jobs, the economy and government overregulation, however, and will likely frame any move to abandon the Paris agreement as evidence that his presidency is taking action to put more money in American pockets. If such a move angers the international elite, US liberals and media talking heads, so much the better.

Belgian cyclist Demoitie died after a collision with a motorbike during Belgium's Gent-Wevelgem race. The 25-year-old was hit by the motorbike after several riders came down in a crash as the race passed through northern France. "The main issues come when cars or motorbikes have to pass the peloton and pass riders," Team Sky's Rowe said. "That is the fundamental issue we're looking into. "There's a lot of motorbikes in and around the race whether it be cameras for TV, photographers or police motorbikes. "In total there's around 50 motorbikes that work on each race. "We've got a riders union and we're coming together to think of a few ideas, whether we cap a speed limit on how fast they can overtake us. "Say we put a 10 kilometres per hour limit on it, if we're going 50kph they're only allowed to pass us 60kph or something like that." Demoitie, who was riding for the Wanty-Gobert team, was taken to hospital in Lille but died later. The sport's governing body, the UCI, said it would co-operate with all relevant authorities in an investigation into the incident. The Professional Cyclists' Association (CPA) issued a statement asking what would be done to improve safety. Despite Demoitie's death, attitudes to road racing will stay the same says Rowe, who has been competing in Three Days of De Panne race in Belgium. "As soon as that element of fear slips into your mind and you start thinking of things that could happen, that's when you're doomed to fail," he told BBC Wales Sport. "If you start thinking about crashes and the consequences and what could potentially happen then you're never going to be at the front of the peloton and you're never going to win any races." In a separate incident, another Belgian cyclist, Daan Myngheer, 22, died in hospital after suffering a heart attack during the first stage of the Criterium International in Corsica.

The 22-year-old, who is on a five-year contract at White Hart Lane until 2020, said: "I'm ready to give my best to help the club achieve its aims." N'Jie scored seven goals for the Ligue 1 side last season and has netted six in 10 appearances for Cameroon. His arrival follows the departure of Spain striker Roberto Soldado to Villarreal.

Transport Minister Edwina Hart said she also wanted to introduce measures to streamline the system and cut fraud. Tough new guidelines to tackle abuse, introduced in 2013, were suspended by one council in February 2015. Neath Port Talbot council had received complaints that genuine cases were being rejected. It was one of a number of local authorities reporting a big rise in rejections, after being told not to just rely on evidence from GPs. A consultation on Welsh ministers' latest proposals has been launched.

Doug Richard, 57, allegedly paid for the girl and her 15-year-old friend to travel from Norwich in January 2015. The jury was told he took them to a Bishopsgate flat, where he spanked the younger girl and had sex with her. He denies sexual activity with a minor and paying a child for sex. Mr Richard, a US citizen who lives in Islington, north London, says the sex was consensual and that he "reasonably believed" the girl was over 16. He gave a total of £480 to the teenager and her friend, which he says was for "travel expenses". Prosecutor Gino Connor told the jury how Mr Richard met the girl through a US website where he listed his profile as a "sugar daddy", while 13-year-old called herself a "sugar baby". During an iChat exchange retrieved from his laptop, the defendant asked her for a "revealing" photograph on her hands and knees. "You are my new daddy I will do anything to keep you happy," the girl replied. They arranged to meet and Mr Richard made a payment of £120 through PayPal, the court heard. The girls travelled to Liverpool Street station on the morning of 2 January, where they met Mr Richard in a nearby cafe. He asked their ages and they told him they were 16 and 17, the court heard. Police were alerted after the mother of the older girl noticed a PayPal deposit in her bank account. An examination of the 13-year-old on 4 January indicted she had suffered an injury that could have been caused by sex. Mr Richard was arrested the following day at the Lord Milner Hotel in Belgravia. The court heard he reacted by saying: "As you can see I am in a lot of trouble." The trial continues.

It estimates poor diets are causing around 70,000 premature deaths each year. In a major report on unhealthy diets, the body called for the extra money raised to be used to subsidise fresh fruit and vegetables. The Food and Drink Federation said the measure would not change diets. There has been growing concern about the damaging impact of sugar on health - from the state of people's teeth to type 2 diabetes and obesity. In its Food for Thought report, the BMA warns that a 330ml can of pop is likely to contain up to nine teaspoons of sugar that are simply "empty calories". The report said taxing specific food groups - such as the sugar drinks tax introduced in Mexico - were shown to cut consumption. Doctors said a tax of at least 20% would be needed to deter customers. It would mean a 65p can of fizzy drink would cost at least 78p and a two-litre bottle would shoot up from £1.85 to £2.22. The report says the extra revenue should be used to make fruit and vegetables cheaper so that we "create an environment where dietary choices default to healthy options". Dr Shree Datta, from the British Medical Association, told the BBC: "I think it is a massive problem illustrated by the fact obesity is creeping up. "We're looking at 30% of the UK population being obese by the year 2030, a large extent of that is due to the amount of sugar we're actually consuming without realising. "The biggest problem is a lot of us are unaware of the amount of sugar we are consuming on a day-to-day basis." The government's main approach to obesity has to been to work with the food industry to get it to voluntarily reduce calorie content. A spokeswoman said obesity was of "great concern to this government". She added: "There is no silver bullet but we do want to see industry go further to cut the amount of sugar in food and drinks so that people can make healthier choices." The BMA's report is timely. Later this week, the UK's official Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition will publish its final advice on the amount of sugar we should be eating. Its draft report said sugar added to food or naturally present in fruit juice and honey should account for 5% of energy intake. The current recommended level is 10% and many people fail to meet that. Ian Wright, director-general of the Food and Drink Federation, said: "We share the BMA's concerns about the health of young people in the UK." However, it said many foods were already taxed at 20% through VAT such as soft drinks and confectionery. He added: "Where additional taxes have been introduced they've not proven effective at driving long-term, lasting change to diets. "In recent years, calories in household foods and drinks have been gradually lowered through recipe reformulations, including sugar reductions, and changes to portion sizes."

Four St Peter Port parishioners have put themselves forward for election, but with five seats up for grabs there will be a vacancy. Parish constable Dennis Le Moignan said it was the first time there had not been enough candidates. He blamed a "lack of interest" and little understanding of the role. However, others believe criticism of the douzaine over the appointment of a town centre manager may be behind the lack of volunteers for the unpaid position. Shane Langlois, chairman of the Douzaine Council, said: "Obviously there's been a lot of controversy over the town centre manager, but that's just guesswork." He said another possible reason for a lack of interest from parishioners was because the parish system was confusing, although the picture around the rest of the island was more encouraging. Mr Langlois said: "There are far more contested elections than I've ever seen... it's very unusual and encouraging. There's normally not more than one or two." He has called for an end to electors' meetings where elections are uncontested - as currently parishioners can vote for ballots to take place - describing them as unnecessary. Mr Le Moignan said the St Peter Port Douzaine would have to advertise the fifth position again and hold another election at a later date. He said there was also a chance the election could be thrown out at the electors' meeting and it would not go ahead until another candidate comes forward.

Locomotive No 563, which hauled trains on the London and South Western Railway, has been given to the Swanage Railway by the National Railway Museum. It appeared in stage adaptations of Edith Nesbit's classic in Canada and in London. Volunteers will work on the engine with the aim of returning it to steam. Descendants of its designer William Adams were present for the unveiling ceremony in Corfe Castle. His great great grandson Alex Campbell said: "It's amazing how something so functional can also be so beautiful. "The T3 represents a bygone era of technical excellence that combined strength, durability and aesthetic beauty." Built in 1893, the 86-tonne T3 locomotive had run a total of 1.5 million miles, mainly hauling express trains between London and the south coast, by the time it was withdrawn from service in 1945. It survived being scrapped as it was selected for restoration for a display at the centenary celebrations for London's Waterloo station in 1948. The locomotive was transported by sea to Canada in 2011 where it spent six months at Toronto's Roundhouse Park for a theatrical production of The Railway Children. It returned to the UK where it was used in the show at a pop-up theatre in King's Cross, London.
