The authorities have been trying since May to demolish the old quarter of Awamiya, saying Shia militants use its narrow streets as a hideout. Activists accuse security forces of trying to force out residents. It is the latest intensification of sporadic unrest in the Eastern Province, which is largely Shia. At least seven people, including two police officers, have been killed in the clashes, Reuters news agency said. Local activists say Saudi forces have been firing randomly towards homes and cars, and that buildings have been damaged or burned in the fighting. "No one is going out. If you go out, you will be shot by snipers," one activist told the BBC. People in the town were running out of drinking water, he added. Some residents have appealed to the Saudi authorities to help them leave and families have been given accommodation in a nearby town, Saudi media reported. Shia residents of the region around the city of Qatif have long complained that they are marginalised and discriminated against by the Sunni monarchy. In May the UN criticised the Saudi attempt to demolish Awamiya's 400-year-old al-Masora quarter, home to between 2,000 and 3,000 people, saying it threatened historical and cultural heritage. The Saudi authorities had imposed power cuts on residents to try to make them leave, said the UN Special Rapporteur on housing, Leilani Farha. Anti-government demonstrations in Eastern Province began after the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, and protests and attacks have become more frequent since the January 2016 execution of the prominent Shia cleric Nimr al-Nimr. Sheikh Nimr, a strong supporter of the anti-government protests, lived in Awamiya. In July, Saudi Arabia executed four people accused of carrying out terrorist acts in the Qatif region. In the same month, two members of the Saudi security forces were killed in separate bombings in Awamiya. In June, another officer and two other people died in bombings. During the protests, activists have accused security forces of opening fire on demonstrators, and say others are being jailed or sentenced to death for protest-related crimes.

Hundreds of people have reportedly been fleeing a town in eastern Saudi Arabia after weeks of clashes between the security forces and armed men.

He told MPs the UK would never be a world-beating economy unless young people were better educated. And he called for "much bigger devolution to the people who know where the [failing] schools are". On improving literacy and numeracy, he added: "We need it across the country and we need it yesterday." The Conservative grandee, who was deputy prime minister in the 1990s and subsequently advised David Cameron on regional strategy, made the comments as he gave evidence to the Commons Business Innovation and Skills Committee alongside former chancellor George Osborne. Claiming that the UK is "29th as a country in the world league of education" - it was 23rd in reading in 2015, according to the OECD's Pisa rankings and 26th in maths - he stressed: "If we accept that - we'll never be a world beating economy in the future because it's all about people - it's about education and then about skills. "And if you want to have skilled people, you'd better educate them properly before you start making them skilled." Lord Heseltine, whose leadership challenge helped trigger Margaret Thatcher's departure from Downing Street in 1990, said standards need to be set by a strategic commission, chaired by the prime minister "that are relevant to the best in the world and not the 29th". "If I could design an industrial strategy it would start in the primary schools," he said, adding that about a quarter of children leaving primary schools are "illiterate and innumerate" by modern employment standards. "My own view is clear - there needs to be a much bigger devolution to the people who know where those schools are and they know the people that run them and they know where the inadequate results are coming from - in my personal experience of life: show me the problem, show me the person in charge." Lord Heseltine cited one success story - Northamptonshire's "Race to the top" initiative - which aims to make Northamptonshire one of the highest performing counties for education by 2020. "We spend a lot of time discussing the theories of education and the structures of education, but what we want is good head teachers," he said. "Wherever you go in this country there is a skills shortage - that is a serious problem facing the expansion of the economy and it's a highly centralised process - not devolved on the scale that it would seem to me reflect the market opportunities."

Lord Heseltine says the UK's skills shortage is a serious problem - and if it was up to him he would start industrial strategy in primary schools.

The film star and his lawyer wife Amal, want to put up eight cameras on poles in the grounds, up to five metres (16ft) high. They also wish to attach a further 10 cameras to the property. The Eye and Dunsden Parish Council has concerns over privacy and the CCTV system's visual impact on the village. David Woodward, chair of the council, said: "When you are strolling next to a pretty riverbank, it's a visual intrusion close to where people are walking." Mr Woodward said the CCTV could also cause privacy concerns for Mr Clooney's neighbours. The property at Sonning Eye is located on an island in the River Thames on the county line between Oxfordshire and Berkshire. South Oxfordshire District Council's conservation officer recommends approval as long as the cameras can easily be removed from the building. The district councillor has until Friday to decide whether to put the application before a planning committee.

George Clooney's neighbours in Sonning have lodged objections to the star's plans to install 18 CCTV cameras at his Oxfordshire home.

As many readers of this blog like to point out, a virtual reality environment will never be a substitute for actually experiencing something. No-one, even in the corridors of Oculus Connect, a conference for the virtual reality industry, would suggest otherwise. Owned by Facebook, Oculus is credited with breathing new life into the virtual reality industry which had faded out after an almost cringe-worthy first-go in the nineties. Its headset, the Oculus Rift, hits shelves next year. Anticipation is huge. But today we had a reminder of just how far we are from enjoying anything that comes even close to producing an fully-immersive world - one that can recreate common human feelings and emotions; the sense of being somewhere else, with other people, feeling different sensations. Oculus and Facebook made a range of announcements relating to VR today. Here are the most significant: To hammer this home, Oculus' chief scientist Michael Abrash took a refreshing approach to his keynote - outlining all the things Oculus could not yet do. The problems are so great the team is not even trying to solve them - something for the next generation to tackle. One is providing a sense of smell, a sensation so integral to experiencing, and later remembering, a new place. Another challenge is the ability to taste something, or hear realistically in a way that does not feel as if we're just wearing headphones. Perhaps the biggest barrier is a sense of touch. Haptic technology is only just beginning to recreate basic touch sensations - but it remains that in VR, it's going to be years before you'll stop putting your hand through virtual tables, killing the illusion in an instant. But virtual reality enthusiasts shouldn't feel disheartened. Right now, VR is what Space Invaders is to Call of Duty. They're both games, sure, but they're worlds apart. The now-primitive blip-blip-blip of 1970s arcade games were the building blocks needed to get us to where we are now. And so the feeling among Oculus Connect is that this is just the beginning, and there's still a long way to go. Gamers and the wider public may take a while to reach the same level of excitement felt within the industry. Mr Abrash told delegates that they're living in the "good old days" of VR - a time that will be looked back upon as the start of something significant. Except it's not quite the start. We've been here before. Journalists in the 1990s were writing about VR as the next big thing just as I am now. But the technology wasn't ready then. Is it now? There are a few veterans prowling the halls here, enticed back to the action after some time away. One was Greg Panos, who has been studying virtual and augmented reality for over two decades. I asked him if this latest wave of VR was any different to what happened in the 90s. Yes, he said - the difference now is that VR is good enough, and cheap enough, for companies to start making some serious money. And so it starts. The first battleground for VR will be gaming. Therefore the best games will win - in theory - so efforts from HTC Vive headset could disrupt Facebook's ambition. HTC has partnered with legendary games maker Valve, and so the games should be terrific. And the Vive goes on sale first. Sony is jostling in, too. Its Morpheus headset has two things going for it. One, it's tied to the already immensely successful PlayStation 4, and so will likely be bundled with the console. But with the announcements made today, Facebook is giving itself a huge headstart in a new, exciting world of entertainment. Deals with Netflix and Minecraft could give Oculus the edge, even if other competitors have better hardware, as has been the suggestion. Content, as always, is king. Vive and Morpheus will need to compete with that. The possibilities are mind-blowingly enormous - from gaming to tele-presence, education to blockbuster movies, Facebook is trying to nurture a platform that one day could rival the mobile app ecosystem in its scale. But - and it's a big but - Facebook still needs to pull it off. One year on from Facebook's purchase of Oculus VR, we've still not seen the technology really hit the market in any meaningful way. That means Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg's $2bn bet in VR bet is still wide-open. Will that purchase be seen as a shrewd move on par with Google's bargain-tactic $1.65bn purchase of YouTube in 2006? Or will Oculus be Mr Zuckerberg's MySpace - a service with great early momentum, bought by NewsCorp for $580m, only to be later offloaded for $35m? It was a newcomer that took what MySpace started and made it much much better, killing the business in the process. That newcomer being Facebook, of course, Mr Zuckerberg certainly knows how this game works. It's presumably why he appeared, unannounced, at Thursday's event, seemingly with one key purpose - to manage the expectations of developers, the press and the public. "All of you are inventing the next major platform," he told delegates. "This is going to go very slowly. "Facebook is committed to this for the long term." He doesn't expect "millions" of units to be sold - at least not for a while. He was there to reassure developers that even if things don't pick up and make millionaires straight away, he's committed to sticking with it. But he's not the only one - and it could be competitors that take what Oculus has started and does things better - giving Mr Zuckerberg the MySpace treatment. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC

The biggest competition for virtual reality is something it'll never beat - the real world.

The US Navy said on 8 April that the Carl Vinson strike group was travelling to the Korean peninsula amid tensions over Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions. Last week President Trump said an "armada" was being sent. But the group was actually farther away over the weekend, moving through the Sunda Strait into the Indian Ocean. The US military's Pacific Command said on Tuesday that it had cancelled a port visit to Perth, but had completed previously scheduled training with Australia off its northwest coast after departing Singapore on 8 April. The strike group was now "proceeding to the Western Pacific as ordered". It is not clear whether the failure to arrive was a deliberate deception, perhaps designed to frighten North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, a change of plan or simple miscommunication, the BBC's Korea correspondent Stephen Evans says. Either way, US Vice-President Mike Pence was undeterred as he spoke aboard the USS Ronald Reagan - an aircraft carrier docked in Japan - during his tour of the region, vowing to "defeat any attack and meet any use of conventional or nuclear weapons with an overwhelming and effective American response". North Korea and the US have ratcheted up tensions in recent weeks and the movement of the strike group had raised the question of a pre-emptive strike by the US. On Wednesday, Mr Pence described the country as the "most dangerous and urgent threat to peace and security" in the Asia-Pacific. His words came after the North held a show of military might in a parade over the weekend and tested another missile on Sunday, which blew up almost immediately after launch, the Pentagon said. The US also accused North Korea of trying to "provoke something", with US Defence Secretary James Mattis calling the test a reckless move on Tuesday. He said the US was "working closely" with China to engage North Korea. Pyongyang said it may test missiles on a weekly basis, and warned of "all-out war" if the US takes military action. "If the US is planning a military attack against us, we will react with a nuclear pre-emptive strike by our own style and method," Vice-Foreign Minister Han Song-ryol told the BBC on Monday.

A US aircraft carrier and other warships did not sail towards North Korea - but went in the opposite direction, it has emerged.

A "terrorist hide" was uncovered at Capanagh Forest near Larne after two members of the public found suspicious objects in the woods on Saturday. Some of the items found included an armour-piercing improvised rocket and two anti-personnel mines. The main line of police inquiry is the arms belonged to dissident republicans. Last week, Home Secretary Theresa May said MI5 believed an attack on targets in Great Britain by dissident republicans had become "a strong possibility". Analysis: Vincent Kearney, BBC News NI's home affairs correspondent The discovery of what appears to be a second dissident republican arms dump near Larne within three months has left police baffled. Based on location alone, the analysis would be that the items found most likely belonged to loyalist paramilitaries. But the nature of what was found suggests otherwise and the finger of suspicion firmly in the direction of dissident republicans. Det Supt Kevin Geddes said the threat level in Northern Ireland from dissident republican groups remains "severe" and an attack is "highly likely". Police officers found three barrels hidden in holes in the forest. As well as rockets and mines, there were also several pipe bombs, assault rifle ammunition and parts to construct a "substantial number of explosive devices". Det Supt Geddes said the seizure was significant "both in terms of its size and its capability". "A number of these devices were ready to be deployed," he added. "This seizure has undoubtedly saved lives." He said the type of weapons that had been found meant police would focus their investigation on dissident republicans. In March, an arms find was made at Carnfunnock Country Park near Larne, and police said the were investigating a connection between the two discoveries. "There are links in terms of the general location and the manner and method of storage and packaging of these munitions," Det Supt Geddes said. He added that police are "indebted" to the two people who noticed the suspicious objects in the Capanagh Forest.

A discovery of arms in a County Antrim forest was one of the most significant in recent years, police in Northern Ireland have said.

Her stepson, filmmaker Carlo Alberto Pinelli, told the Hollywood Reporter that she had died on 1 May in Spain. In Casablanca, Lebeau plays Humphrey Bogart's spurned lover. In a famous scene, she tearfully shouts "Vive La France", after the clientele in Rick's Café sing La Marseillaise to drown out singing by German soldiers. Born in 1923 near Paris, she fled Nazi-occupied France with her then husband, prominent actor Marcel Dalio, in 1940. The couple ended up in Hollywood, and both played in Casablanca. In the film, Bogart plays an American cafe owner in Morocco, a territory controlled by France's Nazi collaborationist regime. He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her husband escape Casablanca to continue fighting the Nazis. Lebeau played in two more US films before returning to France after the war. Her subsequent work includes the role of a temperamental French actress in Fellini's 8 1/2 (1963).

French actress Madeleine Lebeau, the last surviving cast member of the classic 1942 film Casablanca, has died at the age of 92, her family says.

Grimsby pressed to break the deadlock when Pat Hoban struck from range and Andy Monkhouse headed wide. Darren Carter came close for the hosts but hit the side netting after rounding the Grimsby backline. Disley headed home to seal three points with 19 minutes left when he converted Monkhouse's cross from the left wing. Forest Green boss Ady Pennock told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: Media playback is not supported on this device "Obviously we're disappointed and I didn't think we tested their keeper enough, Stevie Arnold made three or four good saves, but the game should have been 0-0. "I didn't think in the final third we were that great, but all credit to Grimsby they've done a good job on us and won the game 1-0. "It's three points - we're not going to lose the title by losing today and we're not going to not get in the play-offs, so it's three points, that's all it is." Grimsby manager Paul Hurst told BBC Radio Humberside: "Second half we had to withstand some pressure without James McKeown really being called upon to make any real saves of note, but you know you're going to have to defend a lot of set plays into the box. "You wondered with their record if they were going to get that late goal but thankfully we kept that clean sheet and sent a lot of fans home very happy. "Automatic promotion is still a big ask. Its two teams we've got to catch and they don't have to play each other."

Craig Disley scored the only goal as Forest Green Rovers were denied the chance to go top of the National League with defeat by Grimsby Town.

The 24-year-old, who has won 21 caps, becomes manager Alan Pardew's fifth signing of the summer. Janmaat underwent a medical at St James' Park on Tuesday and arrives as a replacement for Mathieu Debuchy, who has completed his move to Arsenal. "Daryl had an excellent World Cup and we're looking forward to him continuing that form for Newcastle," said Pardew. Janmaat made five appearances at the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil, where the Dutch finished in third place. Pardew added: "He is the perfect example of a modern full-back. "He is someone who is good defensively but offers a real threat going forward as well." Janmaat made 63 appearances for Feyenoord over the past two seasons. "This is the perfect club for me and I am looking forward to being with the team and getting started here." He is the latest man to join Pardew's squad following the arrivals of Emmanuel Riviere,Remy Cabella,Siem de Jong,Jack Colback and Ayoze Perez.

Netherlands right-back Daryl Janmaat has joined Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee from Feyenoord.

He accepted the offer of an alliance from Francois Bayrou, another centrist and devout Roman Catholic. Recent polls suggest support for Mr Macron, tipped by many to win the election, has dropped slightly. Two of far-right candidate Marine Le Pen's staff were detained on Wednesday as part of a financial inquiry. Her chief of staff was placed under formal investigation over the alleged misuse of EU funds to pay parliamentary assistants, French media report. Her bodyguard was also questioned. The National Front (FN) leader, who denies any wrongdoing, dismissed the investigation as a "political dirty trick". She enjoys a solid lead in opinion polls for the first round in April but is seen as being easily defeated in the second. Mr Bayrou has run three times for president, winning more than 18% of the vote in the 2007 election. Announcing that he would not stand this year, he offered to join forces with Mr Macron to prevent "the failure of France". Ms Le Pen, he said, posed a "major and immediate threat for our country and Europe". Welcoming the news, Mr Macron, a free-market liberal, told Reuters news agency: "The alliance proposed by Francois Bayrou... fully matches our commitment to renewal and unity." Analysts say Mr Bayrou's support base is likely to split now between Mr Macron and his conservative opponent Francois Fillon. A new opinion poll indicates that Mr Macron and Mr Fillon are neck and neck in the race for the all-important second place in the first round - with both on about 19%. According to the same poll, taken before the alliance was announced, Mr Bayrou would net 5.5% while Ms Le Pen would take 26%. In the second round, Mr Macron would beat Ms Le Pen by 61% to 39%, while Mr Fillon would also defeat the far-right candidate, but by 57% to 43%. Early on in the campaign, Mr Fillon was viewed as the clear favourite to reach the run-off along with Ms Le Pen and win, but a scandal over payments to his family dented his image in January. He had talks with his fellow conservative former prime minister Alain Juppe, whom he beat in the Republican party primaries, on Wednesday, Le Figaro newspaper reports. Ms Le Pen has been accused by the European Parliament of misusing a total of some 340,000 euros (£289,000; $359,000), AFP news agency reports. It is alleged that she claimed a salary for her bodyguard Thierry Legier for a bogus job and paid her chief of staff, Catherine Griset, as her EU assistant in Brussels when Ms Griset was actually working for the party. Mr Legier and Ms Griset were taken in for questioning on Wednesday. "The French can tell the difference between genuine scandals and political dirty tricks," Ms Le Pen responded, drawing a distinction between her case and that of Mr Fillon. This election promises to one of the most dramatic in decades in France, a core member of the EU with the world's sixth-largest economy. Fillon apologises over family payments Le Pen refuses to repay 'misused EU cash'

The leading centrist candidate in France's presidential election, Emmanuel Macron, has received a boost after allying with a veteran moderate.

The Scottish Seabird Centre wants to expand its education and conservation programmes to include all marine life in a bid to remain viable. A National Marine Centre for Scotland is designed to be built at the existing Seabird centre in North Berwick. An interactive experience is planned to inspire people to care for the natural environment above and below the waves. The Scottish Seabird Centre said it needs to evolve to remain viable, it has more education requests than it can cope with and visitor expectations are at an all-time high. It has secured £3.3m Heritage Lottery funding but needs another £2m if its vision is to become a reality with the centre planned to open in 2020 for Visit Scotland's year of coasts and waters. Grace Martin, project director for the National Marine Centre, said: "The Scottish Seabird Centre currently offers visitors an opportunity to engage with nature in a sustainable way. "As a conservation and education charity, we welcome 4,000 schoolchildren a year and lead projects such as SOS Puffin. "But, as with all charities, we must move with the times to remain viable and to achieve our objectives of inspiring people to care for wildlife and the natural environment. "We have more education requests that we can accommodate and visitor expectations are at an all-time-high. "Our vision is to create a centre that is of national significance and one that the local community is proud of." Professor John Baxter, principal advisor at Scottish Natural Heritage and a trustee of the Seabird Centre, said: "The marine environment of Scotland supports a fantastic array of habitats and wildlife. "Under the surface of the seas is a hidden and very special world that we want to reveal and bring to life, for people of all ages, in exciting and engaging ways. "Scottish universities are at the cutting-edge of marine environment research but there are at present limited opportunities for the public to share in this work. "Through public engagement we know there is a high level of interest in our seas, coasts and wildlife. "This new attraction will provide an immersive and interactive experience, communicating the latest research and inspiring people to look after our natural world. It is vital that we protect and conserve our seas and their wildlife for future generations."

Plans for a £5.5m National Marine Centre for Scotland have been unveiled in East Lothian.

Matt McKeown from Plymouth, south-west England, has created a super trolley with a motor and special wheels. And he's got it racing at 44 mph. The current speed record is 42 mph, so Matt reckons his trolley could have set a new world record. He says he'll contact Guinness World Records to see if it can be officially recognised. But he's not content with that - Matt says he wants to improve his trolley to try and reach a speed of 60mph instead! Check out the clip of it in action!

Imagine a shopping trolley that moves as fast as a car - well here it is!

The protest by the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha party is demanding a separate state for Nepali-speaking Gorkhas. A large number of paramilitary troops and police have been deployed to maintain peace in the hill region. Tourism and tea production will be worst hit by the strike, locals say. The strike began at 06:00 India time (00:30GMT) on Monday and reports say there is little traffic on the highway that connects Darjeeling with the town of Siliguri in the plains of north Bengal. About a dozen supporters of the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) were held after they set a motorcycle and a car on fire in the Rambi area, the Press Trust of India news agency said. Supporters also blocked roads in the region. Darjeeling town was largely deserted with tourists staying away from the hills. Reports said 1,000 GJM supporters were protesting at Chowkbazar with party flags, while large gatherings were also reported from Jorbungalow, Mirik and Sukhiapokhri. Roads were also barricaded by the GJM in Kalimpong and Kurseong towns. The GJM has written to PM Manmohan Singh urging him to accept their demand for a separate state they want named Gorkhaland. "Our demand for Gorkhaland is an old one and generations of our people have fought for it. Now we want it because we see no future for us in West Bengal," said GJM general secretary Roshan Giri. Mr Giri said as the Congress-led government in Delhi was "considering" creating a new state of Telangana to be carved out of the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, "it was about time they concede Gorkhaland". "Our demand for a separate state is as old, as justified and meaningful as that of a separate Telangana," he added. In June 2011, the GJM signed a deal with the Indian government and the government of West Bengal state for greater autonomy. The deal paved the way for the setting up of a Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA), an elected body for the Darjeeling hills. It is not clear whether the GJM will now relinquish its responsibility of running the GTA. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerji has said she is upset with the revived agitation and warned that it will be "tackled in a tough way if it turned violent". The Gorkha campaign for a separate state started in the early 1980s. But a settlement that gave them considerable autonomy brought the movement to an end in 1988. However, five years ago, the movement was resumed by Gorkha hardliners who say the autonomy arrangement has not worked.

A 72-hour strike called by the main Gorkha ethnic group in India's West Bengal state has brought life to a standstill in the tea-producing Darjeeling hills.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had ordered all insurance companies to split out the extra charges for the additional protection. But the Co-op was the only firm which missed a deadline to do so, in August last year. As a result around 120,000 customers received quotations that were unclear. From 1 February, the Co-op will provide two separate quotations - one with no claims bonus protection, and one without. "It is very disappointing that a major company such as Co-op Insurance has taken so long to provide this vital information to its customers," said Adam Land, senior director of remedies, business and financial analysis at the CMA. "Before the order came into force, the price and benefits of NCB [no claims bonus] protection were often unclear to drivers. "We expect the Co-op to fully comply with the terms of our directions immediately, so that motorists can search more easily for the best deal for them, and decide whether or not they want this optional cover." The Co-op said most of its quotations do now provide separate details of no claims bonus charges. "For 90% of our new business customers we are already fully compliant with this order," a spokesperson said. "We are part way through a major transformation programme, which when complete will allow us to be fully compliant and enable us to provide best in class service to our members."

The Co-op has been ordered to provide clearer insurance quotations, after it failed to tell motorists about separate charges for no claims bonuses.

Georg Niedermeier's own goal gave Pep Guardiola's side a half-time lead, which David Alaba doubled. Daniel Didavi fired into the top corner for Stuttgart, but Douglas Costa's long-range shot sealed Bayern's win. Borussia Dortmund, in second, can cut the gap to five points with a win at Schalke on Sunday. Bayern need a maximum of 11 points from their final five league matches to secure the title for Guardiola before he leaves to join Manchester City at the end of the season. The Bayern boss rotated his squad with Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg trip to Benfica in mind, beginning with Thomas Muller, Philipp Lahm, Costa and Thiago on the bench. But he brought on Muller after just 27 minutes, concerned that Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal was in danger of getting sent off after making two reckless challenges and collecting an early booking. Stuttgart captain Niedermeier scored at the wrong end as he stretched to prevent Franck Ribery's cross reaching Robert Lewandowski. Austria international Alaba added another early in the second half, showing neat footwork before beating goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton at the near post. Didavi, Stuttgart's leading scorer, improvised superbly to pull a goal back with just under half-an-hour left as he hooked the ball past Manuel Neuer while on the ground for his 11th of the season, but Costa's 25-yard drive ended hopes of a comeback. Augsburg moved out of the bottom three as they came from a goal behind to win 2-1 at Werder Bremen, who dropped into the relegation play-off place. Alfred Finnbogason and Hong Jeong-ho scored for the visitors after Florian Grillitsch's first goal of the season had put Bremen in front just before half-time. Hoffenheim are three points above Bremen after a third victory in four games as they won 2-0 at next-to-bottom at Eintracht Frankfurt. Darmstadt improved their survival chances with a 2-1 win at Hamburg, while Ingolstadt are eighth thanks to a 1-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Bayern Munich edged closer to a fourth successive Bundesliga title as they restored their eight-point lead with victory at Stuttgart.

France's Dubuisson carded a 67 to tie with overnight leader Van Zyl of South Africa on 16 under par. McIlroy carded a third straight five under-par 67 to move to 15 under par with Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat. The world number three's round included an eagle on the 12th as he bids to win his first title since May. "The 67s I've shot this week have all been a little different and I feel like I've played within myself for all of them, " said four-time major winner McIlroy of Northern Ireland. "I feel there's a low round out there for me and hopefully it's tomorrow." McIlroy was level par for the day after 10 holes, dropping his first shots of the week by three-putting the third and 10th, the latter mistake prompting the 26-year-old to throw his putter at his bag. But he hit back with a birdie on the par-five 11th and a towering four iron from 229 yards on the 13th set up an eagle from just four feet. The former world number one ruptured a ligament in his left ankle during a game of football with friends in July, ruling him out of several tournaments. But he returned in time to unsuccessfully defend his US PGA title at Whistling Straits in August and played in three of the FedEx Cup play-off events before starting the new PGA Tour season with a tie for 26th in the Frys.com Open in California. He is targeting a third Race to Dubai title in four years and leads England's Danny Willett by 271, 214 points with three events remaining after the Turkish Open. English pair Chris Wood (-13) and Richard Bland (-12) who were tied for second overnight are fifth and seventh respectively.

Rory McIlroy moved to within a shot of joint leaders Victor Dubuisson and Jaco van Zyl after the third round of the Turkish Airlines Open.

Citizens Advice said that hidden charges such as line rental and delivery costs could add £20 a month to the advertised price. It highlighted one case in which a customer would pay £465 more than the amount advertised during a contract. The trade body for internet service providers, ISPA, said broadband prices were "clearly presented". Nicholas Lansman, ISPA secretary-general, said: "It is important that customers look at the full terms of an offer when choosing a provider. "Ofcom recently concluded that the UK has one of the most competitive broadband markets among major European economies, as the average price of a fixed broadband package has fallen by 40% and speeds have greatly increased." Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said confusing teaser rates and hidden costs made it difficult for consumers to work out whether they were getting a good deal. "Internet providers need to be upfront about broadband costs, ensuring adverts are transparent and people know what they are signing up to," she said. "Some broadband firms are starting to accept that prices need to be clearer. Now the whole industry needs to up its game." The charity said that line rental was the most expensive additional cost. The ISPA said that service providers using the BT network were required to levy a line rental charge, which went toward maintaining the network used by most of the UK for both phone calls and broadband. The report comes as Virgin Media was criticised by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for one of its broadband adverts. Two customers complained that they had signed up to the operator's 12-month broadband contracts only to be told that their monthly charges would be increasing during the minimum term. They said this was misleading. The company argued that it could not predict price rises at the start of a contract and so was unable to advertise potential increases.

Teaser deals in adverts are masking the long-term cost of broadband packages, a charity has claimed.

Fire, police and coastguard teams were called to Butley Creek near Orford, Suffolk, on Wednesday by a member of the public who had seen the supine figure of a man lying in the water. The "body" turned out to be a work of art called A Thousand Tides, which has been at the site for more than a year. A Suffolk Police spokesman described the work as "quite realistic". Read more Suffolk stories here The sculpture, by artist Laurence Edwards, was designed to only be seen at low tide and was intended to sink eventually. However, Mr Edwards said it had "stayed on the surface longer than it should". He said: "I've always been a bit worried that a helicopter would spot it and want to rescue it. "To convince someone it's a real person is a great achievement, although I would like to apologise to the poor person who called it in." The sculpture was a parting gift to the area from Mr Edwards, who had a studio and foundry works nearby for 15 years until spring 2016 before moving to Halesworth. Mr Edwards' website says his work "attempts to do justice to the locality and its history, by peopling it with large figures that have survived the ravages of the water and the elements." Suffolk Police confirmed they attended Butley Creek, saying: "Police received a call from a member of the public reporting what they believed to be a body in the river. "The fire service and coastguard were also called to assist, but a short while later this was actually confirmed to be a sculpture." A Thousand Tides is reminiscent of Antony Gormley's Another Place installation on Crosby beach in Merseyside, which depicts 100 bronze figures looking out over the Irish Sea.

Three different 999 services had to be stood down after a "body in the water" turned out to be a bronze sculpture.

President Thein Sein said the deal had opened up the "road to future peace" in Myanmar, also known as Burma. But the most active of rebel groups have not signed the agreement, which comes after two years of negotiations. Myanmar has been engaged in armed conflict with various ethnic and other groups seeking greater autonomy since independence from the British in 1948. The violence has left tens of thousands dead over the years, displaced hundreds of thousands more and has been used by the military to justify its long hold on political power. Resolving the conflicts is seen as central to Myanmar's attempts to reform after decades of military rule. The government hopes Thursday's deal - which comes weeks ahead of general elections - will be the first step on a path to a lasting political settlement. Speaking at the lavish signing ceremony in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, Thein Sein said it was a "historic day for Myanmar". "We have been able to launch a new road to a peaceful future of our country." The chairman of one of the armed groups, the Karen National Union (KNU), called it "a new page in history and a product of brave and energetic negotiations". The agreement is neither truly nationwide nor strictly speaking a ceasefire. In order to take part in this collective agreement the armed groups had to have previously signed a bilateral ceasefire with the government. So it is not actually halting any conflicts. This at times tortuous process has been about trying to get everyone to the start line before the next phase, political dialogue, gets under way. With only about half the groups having made it to the start line, the way forward from here will be ever more complex. Read more: Ceasefire marks milestone for Myanmar But seven of the armed groups which have been involved in the talks did not sign the final deal. Among them is the largest, the United Wa State Army (UWSA), which has some 25,000 members operating on the border with China, and has largely remained on the sidelines of the talks. Also not signing was the Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO), whose Independence Army (KIA) controls large areas of north-eastern Kachin state and has regularly clashed with the Burmese army since a ceasefire collapsed in 2011. Thein Sein said the government would "continue with our efforts to bring the remaining organisations into the process". "The door is open for them," he said. Political discussions are now due to begin within months on the structure of a new, and probably more federal, system of government, says our correspondent. But there are still concerns that peace with the groups signing Thursday's agreement could be short lived, if the Burmese army ignores the ceasefire, as it has with others. Earlier this week, all of the groups signing were removed from the government's list of "unlawful associations", a step towards bringing them into mainstream politics. Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has previously urged rebel groups to focus more on a lasting deal than a quick one, was not at the signing ceremony. Representatives from the United Nations, the European Union, India and China and others witnessed the signing.

Myanmar has signed a ceasefire deal with eight armed rebel groups, in the hope of ending decades of conflict.

The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said the area used to farm the poppy plant, the source of opium, increased by 10% to 201,000 hectares. But better farming conditions resulted in a higher yield per hectare, increasing overall production. Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of the substance, which is the main ingredient in heroin. Growing opium is a crime in the country, but it is still a major cash crop for impoverished farming communities. The Taliban also taxes poppy production in areas it controls, which is a major source of income for its military activities. UNODC Executive Director Yury Fedotov said the figures were "a worrying reversal in efforts". The opium produced from the poppy plant is used to make some of the most powerful medicinal painkillers, such as morphine. However, many nations cultivate their own supply for medicinal use, and Afghanistan's production of illicit opium is primarily sued for the illegal drug trade. The Afghan government has a stated policy of eradicating poppy crops, but the crop is widespread in many government-controlled regions, and officials are often accused of turning a blind eye. Earlier this year, the BBC's South Asia correspondent Justin Rowlatt visited poppy farms in the north-east, where one farmer told him the local government knew about his crop, but "they also know it is the only way anyone can make decent money." Just 355 hectares (877 acres) of poppies were eradicated by provincial authorities in the last year - down more than 90% since 2015, when almost 4,000 hectares were cleared. Seven insurgents and one officer died during attacks on eradication teams this year. Seven more people were injured. The southern region of the country is the most productive area, accounting for 54% of the entire national opium production. Helmand province, which has seen a resurgent Taliban presence, is the single largest producer, with more than 80,000 hectares of poppy cultivation. The region was a contested area between the Taliban and Nato-led forces, before the latter withdrew in 2014. Taliban militants launched a fresh assault on the Helmand regional capital of Lashkar Gah in early October.

Opium production in Afghanistan has increased by 43% in the past year, United Nations officials have said.

Four officers were injured when the Met's Flying Squad swooped on the men in Piccadilly at 11:25 BST. A Taser was discharged several times and the policemen were hurt as the men tried to escape on mopeds. Four men have been arrested and are being held at London police stations. A Met Police spokesman said three officers suffered minor injuries and the fourth is in hospital in a serious condition. Store owner Avi Reed said the gang smashed a glass cabinet, causing more than £300,000 of damage, Mr Reed said police contacted them at the Chronext store earlier to warn them that there might be a robbery, and the shop was closed to protect customers. He said: "At about 11:30 we saw three guys, they had helmets on. One tried to smash the door with a hammer. The glass didn't break as it's protected but he managed to get in. "Another guy had an axe and managed to smash a cabinet, while the other stayed on the motorbike. They caused enormous damage." Mr Reed praised the actions of the "amazing" police. Det Supt Craig Turner, said: "Our officers are absolutely committed to keeping London safe and target the criminals who pose a danger to Londoners and our city businesses day in, day out. "They know that this work carries with it very real risks and dangers but take this in their stride as part of serving the public. "However, today's events highlight how the reckless behaviour of those determined to evade justice, heedless of the consequences, can have a real impact on all those involved." Piccadilly was closed eastbound at Hyde Park Corner for about six hours while investigations were carried out.

A moped gang armed with knives and an axe has been intercepted by police in a "terrifying" attempt to rob a luxury watch store in central London.

More than 12,600 cases were discontinued from 2014 to 2015 - one in every eight Crown Court cases. At the same time, the proportion of Crown Court cases resulting in a conviction fell below the 80% mark for the first time since 2010-11. The CPS said cases were kept under "constant review". A study of the data suggested the principal reason for the fall in the proportion of cases resulting in conviction was because of the rise in the number that were dropped by the CPS after charges had been brought. The total number of cases dropped at that point was 12,615 last year - an increase of nearly 1,700 on the year before. BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said: "In 70% of the dropped prosecutions, the CPS offered 'no evidence'. "In other words the case was discontinued at a late stage, after the defendant had pleaded not guilty, and often after many months awaiting trial." He added the figures "are likely to fuel claims that the criminal justice pendulum has swung too far in favour of victims and away from the accused". A CPS spokesman said: "All cases are kept under constant review as they progress through the criminal justice system. "If new evidence comes to light, a witness decides to no longer support a prosecution or a co-defendant pleads guilty to the offence, the CPS will then review the case. "If there is no longer sufficient evidence or if it is no longer in the public interest, the CPS will stop a prosecution." He added: "In 2014-15 the CPS offered no evidence in 8.8% per cent of cases. This compares to 8.3% the previous year and 9.4% the year before that." Nazir Afzal, former chief Crown prosecutor of the CPS for north west England, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We have to ensure that we don't have the baying crowd mentality. "There are lots of people who are desperate for cases to be brought for all sorts of reasons. "A prosecutor must look at it in the cold light of day, professionally, ensure that they recognise any issues about the credibility of the allegation and make the decision that stands up." He added: "The accused person needs to have as much information given to him about what happened. That would not necessarily make life any better for him but certainly give an understanding that maybe, just maybe, the decision was right at the outset and something has changed."

The number and proportion of prosecutions dropped at Crown Courts in England and Wales has risen to its highest level in five years.

A frozen corner at Stade Jean-Bouin meant the game began 95 minutes after the scheduled kick-off time. Waisea Nayacalevu and Julien Arias put the French side 17-5 up at the break with Mat Luamanu crossing for Quins. Craig Burden added a third Stade score before Marland Yarde and James Chisholm went over for late tries. Quins knew they had to win the game to progress to the quarter-finals but the home side went through instead, and will be away to Ospreys in the last eight. A corner of the pitch was still frozen at the scheduled 13:00 GMT start but play was able to start at 14:35. Stade Francais: Bonneval; Sinzelle, Vuidarvuwalu, Bosman, Camara; Plisson, Genia; Zhvania, Panis, Slimani, Gabrillagues, Pape (capt), Nicolas, Lakafia, Alberts. Replacements: Burden, Felsina, Melikidze, Pyle, Ross, Daguin, Millet, Arias. Harlequins: Brown; Yarde, Hopper, Roberts, Visser; Swiel, Care (capt); Murphy, Buchanan, Sinckler, Merrick, Matthews, Clifford, Wallace, Luamanu. Replacements: Gray, Evans, Jones, Ward, Chisholm, Dickson, Jackson, Alofa. For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter.

Harlequins were knocked out of the Challenge Cup by defeat at Top 14 side Stade Francais in a match delayed because of a frozen pitch.

The ex-Cabinet Minister lost his Yeovil seat in May's general election after 14 years as the constituency member. Mr Laws, 49, will serve as executive chairman of Centre Forum but is still considering various job opportunities two months on from his defeat. He described himself as not suited to "navel gazing and endless holidays". In his first full interview since the election, the former Minster for the Cabinet Office, Minister for Schools and Chief Secretary to the Treasury described his dismay at the "tsunami sweeping away lots of Lib Dem MPs" on 8 May. "I was extremely disappointed and upset for people like my staff who've worked in my office for years and years. I was very sorry on their behalf," he said. "I suppose it [the scale of the defeat] meant that it didn't feel quite as personal… when you see all of your colleagues being knocked over like ninepins then it feels something that it's much more difficult to do anything about." But the disappointment was clear to see as the former investment banker shunned the media scrum and left the count with barely a word to reporters. Having been integral to the negotiations that led to the formation of the coalition government in 2010, he had been "hoping and expecting" to do the same again. Instead, he went home to sleep. His new job for Centre Forum, a liberal policy think-tank, will take up two days a week but he hopes to have a full-time plan by the end of the summer. "I've already got one role as chairman which I'm very pleased about as it will allow me to take forward my interest in education and education policy, and I've been talking to other people about other work I may do next," he said. But that plan will not include standing for election again. "I'd already got the view that serving four terms in parliament, had I been re-elected in May this year, would have been about the right amount of time to do," he said. "I don't think that MPs should go on forever and I think it's not therefore likely that I would stand again as a member of parliament." Despite the loss of the Yeovil seat to the Conservatives, he remains optimistic of the seat being recaptured by his party. "In areas like Yeovil where we have had big and strong base at the local government level and a national presence for many years I would think that there's every chance we can win back the Yeovil constituency at the next general election in 2020 and I'll do everything I can to support our new candidate to become the next MP."

Former Liberal Democrat MP David Laws has confirmed he will not stand for Parliament again after taking a new role with an education think-tank.

Arun District Council said the plans for Bognor Regis also included student accommodation, car parking and an access road from Felpham Way. The university's digital technology and engineering department will move to the site if permission is granted. It was awarded £8m funding from the government last year. The technology park will have places for 500 undergraduate and postgraduate students per year. The council said the six-storey student accommodation building, to the north of the proposed five-storey teaching block, will provide 171 bedrooms. The site, next to the Upper Bognor Conservation Area, has been classified in the Arun Local Plan since 2003 as an area of expansion for the university. The public has until 7 April to comment on the plans, which will then be considered by councillors.

Plans for a new engineering and digital technology park for the University of Chichester have been submitted to the local council.

Christopher Meli, 20, was found dead near houses at Glasvey Close. Detectives said he had suffered a sustained and vicious assault. The youths were detained on Tuesday evening. On Tuesday, three teenagers, two aged 18 and a 16-year-old youth, appeared in court charged with Mr Meli's murder. Two teenagers aged 18 and 17, who were arrested by detectives on Sunday, have been released on bail pending further inquiries.

Five more teenagers - two males and three females - have been arrested over the murder of a man in west Belfast's Twinbrook estate at the weekend.

Police were called to Nuthurst Park in Moston, Manchester, just before 18:55 BST on Saturday. Greater Manchester Police said officers responded to reports of a girl being raped and the suspect being chased off by members of the public. A boy was arrested in a nearby shop. The 16-year-old was remanded to appear at Manchester Youth Court on Monday. The girl is being supported by specially-trained officers. GMP added: "We are aware of a lot of local speculation regarding the investigation and we would ask that this please stops to allow the investigation and legal process to continue without prejudice."

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with the rape of an eight-year-old girl in a park.

The Scottish Premiership club have announced that the pair "have agreed the termination of their loan period at Rugby Park by mutual consent". Defender Waddington and goalkeeper Davies were two of 11 players signed on one day by Killie manager Lee Clark. Both made two appearances for the Scottish Premiership club. The 19-year-old Waddington made one start, against Greenock Morton in the Challenge Cup and a substitute appearance away to Hamilton Academical in the Premiership. Davies, who is two years older and was on his second loan spell at Rugby Park, played against Berwick Rangers and Albion Rovers in the Challenge Cup.

Stoke City's Mark Waddington and Swansea City's Oliver Davies have had their loan spells with Kilmarnock cut short and returned to their clubs.

The Labour leader has warned the terms of reference, which have yet to be published, could be too "narrow" and residents not properly consulted. He wants an interim report on the cause of the fire by September, followed by a wider probe into building regulations, council funding and other issues. The presumed death toll stands at 80. Police have warned the final figure will not be known until at least the end of the year. The leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council, Nick Paget-Brown, which was criticised for its response to the disaster on 14 June, quit on Friday. Retired former Court of Appeal judge Sir Martin Moore-Bick was appointed to head the inquiry on Wednesday. It will sit in public and have the powers to compel witnesses and obtain evidence. Visiting the scene of the blaze on Thursday, Sir Martin said he believed the probe and its recommendations would be "pretty well limited" to what had caused the fire and its rapid spread. Setting out his ambition to produce a report within a year, he said he was aware that people in the area want a broader investigation but he was not sure that his inquiry would be the right setting. The prime minister has said she expects an interim report to be made available as soon as possible and that survivors and residents should be consulted on the terms of reference. But Mr Corbyn said he wanted a guarantee the initial findings would be published by the end of the summer. In a letter to Mrs May, he said the inquiry would be best served by being split into two parts to ensure "timeliness would not have to be sacrificed for rigour". While understanding how the fire started was of the "utmost importance", he said survivors and other residents had a multitude of other questions about how their safety had come to be compromised and what could have been done to prevent the disaster. "Whilst the detail of the specific failures at Grenfell needs to be uncovered, it is also clear that the Grenfell fire has much wider implications for national policy issues," he said. The issues that must be addressed, he said, included: "An inquiry within narrow terms of reference risks failing to learn all the lessons of this tragedy." The PM has said the immediate priority is to establish the facts of what happened at Grenfell Tower and to take the necessary action to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. But she has said the "wider lessons" must be learn from both this catastrophe, and the inspections of other buildings around the country that followed it.

The public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire must be split in two stages to ensure all lessons are fully learned, Jeremy Corbyn has said.

His comments, made during a closed-session meeting in the Hungarian capital Budapest, were accidentally broadcast to reporters. He said the EU was the only major power to attach "political" conditions to its relationship with Israel. This, he said, was damaging to the bloc's security and economic interests. The EU has repeatedly condemned Israel's building of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. In comments picked up on the headphones of reporters waiting outside the meeting, Mr Netanyahu told the prime ministers of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia: "The European Union is the only association of countries in the world that conditions the relations with Israel... on political conditions. The only ones." He was referring to the EU's insistence on terms relating to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process being included in its Association Agreement with Israel, signed in 2000 and not subsequently updated. "It's crazy. It's actually crazy," he said. "It's not about my interest. I'm talking about Europe's interest. "We have a special relationship with China. And they don't care. They don't care about the political issues." He added that India and Russia had a similar approach, and urged the four prime ministers to push for a deal on a new Association Agreement. "There is no logic here. The EU is undermining its security by undermining Israel. Europe is undermining its progress by undermining its connection with Israeli innovation by a crazy attempt to create conditions." He added: "I think Europe has to decide if it wants to live and thrive or if it wants to shrivel and disappear. "I am not very politically correct. I know that's a shock to some of you. It's a joke. But the truth is the truth. Both about Europe's security and Europe's economic future. Both of these concerns mandate a different policy toward Israel." Mr Netanyahu also criticised the policies of former US President Barack Obama's administration, saying things had improved since Donald Trump took office. "We had a big problem. I think its different now. Vis-a-vis Iran, there is a stronger position. The US is more engaged in the region and conducting more bombings." He also admitted that Israel had carried out dozens of attacks against Iranian-backed militia group Hezbollah's arms convoys in Syria. "I told [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, when we see them transferring weapons to Hezbollah, we will hurt them. We did it dozens of times," he said. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has been an outspoken opponent of Muslim immigration to Europe, later told reporters: "We share Israel's notion of protecting external borders. If Europe does not co-operate with Israel, it is punishing itself."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the European Union's "crazy" approach to dealing with his country.

Goals in each half proved enough for Marcus Bignot's Mariners, who had gone into the game on the back of defeats to Crawley, Portsmouth and Doncaster. Grimsby broke the deadlock when Bolarinwa took advantage of a slip from Accrington's Omar Beckles to go through one-on-one with goalkeeper Aaron Chapman before slotting the ball home. Accrington came out well for the restart and went close to pulling level, but Grimsby goalkeeper Dean Henderson, on loan from Manchester United, blocked Billy Kee's shot on the goalline. As the second-half wore on, Accrington pushed for an equaliser with John O'Sullivan's strike clipping the side-netting and substitute Shay McCartan forcing Henderson to kick away a low effort. But, as the visitors chased the game, Grimsby sealed the points when top-scorer Omar Bogle set up Chambers and after touching the ball past the last defender, he slammed home the Mariners' second.

The advocacy group Glaad analysed shows seen or to be shown between June 2016 and May 2017 and counted 278 regular and recurring LGBT characters. The number of transgender characters has risen from seven to 16 this year. But Glaad bemoaned the fact that more than 25 lesbian and bisexual female characters died or were killed off. They include the characters Poussey Washington and Bea Smith, who met violent ends in Orange is the New Black and Wentworth respectively. The report also found a record high percentage of black characters on broadcast television, thanks mostly to shows like Empire, Luke Cage and How to Get Away with Murder. Glaad's Where We Are on TV study based its findings on scripted broadcast, cable and streaming series already being shown or for which casting had been confirmed. Glaad's president Sarah Kate Ellis said it was "heartening to see progress being made" but said numbers were "only part of the story". Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram at bbcnewsents, or if you have a story suggestion email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk.

Shows like Transparent mean there are more LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) characters on US TV than ever before, a report has found.

"I thought it was great, fantastic," says Tom, one of the 450 or so full-time workers who work shifts preparing and packaging chilled fish destined for the supermarket shelves. Tom is not his real name. He's too scared of revealing his true identity for fear of losing his job. His employer is about to impose new terms and conditions and the workers aren't happy. "The workforce are up in arms about it. Everybody is really really annoyed with the company the way they've done things... we feel as though they're robbing us," he says. On 1 April, the government increased the minimum wage from £6.70 to £7.20 an hour for workers aged 25 and over. Seachill relies on overtime to keep its conveyor belts running. It's a requirement written into staff contracts. On top of a 40-hour week, Tom says workers can end up doing another 20 hours, especially when there's a big order to complete. His employer wants to increase the basic rate of pay to £7.35 an hour but cut overtime payments.. Tom reckons he will earn up to £80 a month less than he was expecting. Workers have to decide whether to accept the new contracts or risk losing their jobs. "Even with the new rate they've offered us at £7.35 an hour, at time and a quarter, it's less than what they would've been paying us at £7.20 an hour and time and a half and double time. "We are losing out big style," he says. The company is part of the Icelandic Group. It made more than £8m in profit last year. In a statement, it says its changes are designed to make it more efficient and says most workers will be better off. Tom disagrees and says he's 100% certain the changes are being made to help offset the costs of the new National Living Wage. "It's not on. As far as all of us are concerned, it's not on. How can they say in one breath that the firm is doing really well, and then expect us to take a pay cut?" Seachill is not the only company that's been reviewing its pay arrangements. At Pennine Foods in Sheffield, owned by the huge food group, 2 Sisters, workers have voted for strike action after the company announced it would cut Sunday and bank holiday pay as part of plans to standardise payments to staff. Elsewhere, staff benefits are also being trimmed. At Caffe Nero, workers are no longer entitled to a free panini whilst staff at Eat will no longer have paid-for breaks. In a recent parliamentary debate on the issue, both companies along with some other household names were in the firing line from MPs; DIY chain B&Q came in for particular criticism. "Companies such as B&Q use the introduction of the national living wage to 'reform their pay and reward structures', as they put it. That is a euphemism for cutting staff pay," said Joan Ryan, Labour MP for Enfield North. "I have found disturbing and, quite frankly, shameful the way in which some large employers in the service sector have used the introduction of a living wage as an excuse to cut basic work entitlements," added Julie Cooper, Labour MP for Burnley and Padiham. More than 130,000 people signed a petition against B&Q's planned cuts to employee benefits. It announced in February that it would be cutting Sunday pay and reducing bank holiday pay and bonuses for some staff, although it raised its basic pay to £7.66 an hour in April. B&Q said many workers would be better off or unaffected by its changes but that it had now extended compensation to staff who would lose out. Caffe Nero said its workers would still get a discount for food. Eat said all employees would be compensated through a pay rate above the current national living wage. In the last year, Morrisons, Tesco and Waitrose have also altered payments but they all insisted that it wasn't anything to do with the introduction of the national living wage. Some aren't surprised that employers are having to make changes. "Increasing the national living wage was the right thing to do but no-one can doubt that there will have to be adjustments," says Simon Walker, the boss of the Institute of Directors. "Companies have to be profitable so they are going to have to make adjustments and cut backs if they have to pay higher wages in order to break even. "They also face a number of other cost increases including the apprenticeship levy and auto enrolment for pensions." The chancellor cut corporation tax to help ease the burden on employers. He's called on companies to follow the spirit of the law. The owners of Seachill say it has a very loyal, long serving workforce and ensuring that they were fairly rewarded, whilst continuing to provide a first class service to its customers, is a priority. But for Tom and many of his colleagues, the cuts to overtime are proving hard to swallow.

When workers at the Seachill fish factory in Grimsby first heard about George Osborne's National Living Wage they were very happy.

Michael Robson, 44, who is serving a prison sentence for manslaughter, absconded from Hatfield Prison in Doncaster on Thursday. Robson, from North Tyneside, was originally convicted of murder in 1996 but had his sentence reduced to manslaughter after an appeal in 2006. He was arrested by officers in West Yorkshire on Sunday.

A convicted killer who was on the run from an open prison in South Yorkshire has been recaptured, police said.

Mist caused problems early in the day but Dunlop was quickly on the pace with a speed of 121.65mph on his Superstock. The Ballymoney man then secured pole on the BMW Superbike with 131.783, just faster than Peter Hickman's 131.063. Neil Kernohan won the Dundrod 150 Lightweight race, with Christian Elkin taking the Ultra-Lightweight honours. Ballymena rider Kernohan finished ahead of runner-up Davy Morgan, Paul Robinson, Paul Owen and Olie Linsdell. Elkin repeated his Armoy success of two weeks ago, coming home first on his Moto3 machine, followed by Sam Wilson and Derek McGee on 125cc bikes. Gary Dunlop, son of the late, legendary Joey, claimed a creditable fourth place on his debut at the event, with female competitor Melissa Kennedy fifth. Graham Kennedy took the flag in the National race and David Jackson in the Challenge event. The Dundrod 150 Superbike race was cancelled due to deteriorating visibility after the initial race had been red-flagged following an incident, which was not serious. The leaders had completed two laps, with Michael Dunlop just in front of Bruce Anstey, Ian Hutchinson and lap-one leader Conor Cummins when proceedings were brought to a halt. Meanwhile, New Zealander Anstey clocked the fastest time for Saturday's two Supersport races, edging out Yamaha-mounted Hutchinson by 1.7 seconds, with Manxman Cummins third. The 600cc qualifying session was halted prematurely after an incident at Flow Bog, which resulted in a rider being taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. A seven-race programme is scheduled for Saturday, with roads closing at 09:30 BST. Superbike practice times - 1 Michael Dunlop 131.783 mph; 2 Peter Hickman 131.063; 3 Bruce Anstey; 4 Ian Hutchinson 130.13; 5 Dean Harrison 129.92; 6 Conor Cummins 129.335. Superstock practice times - 1 Michael Dunlop 121.625 mph; 2 Derek Sheils 120.779; 3 Steve Mercer 120.718; 4 Jamie Coward 120.19; 5 Conor Cummins 119.926; 6 Bruce Anstey 119.508 Supersport practice times - 1 Bruce Anstey 125.94 mph; 2 Ian Hutchinson 124.90; 3 Conor Cummins 124.53; 4 Dean Harrison 124.11; 5 William Dunlop 123.65; 6 Peter Hickman 123.58 Saturday 13 August race schedule - Roads closed from 09:30 BST to 20:30 for Ulster Grand Prix race meeting: Superstock (6 laps), Supersport Race 1 (6 laps), Ultralightweight/Lightweight (5 laps), UGP Superbike Race (7 laps), Supertwins (5 laps), Supersport Race 2 (6 laps), Superbike Race 2 (6 laps).

Michael Dunlop set the fastest times for the Ulster Grand Prix Superbike and Superstock classes in Thursday's delayed practice sessions at Dundrod.

The 73-year-old Oscar winner will be presented with the award on 9 June. AFI chair Sir Howard Stringer called Freeman "an American treasure" who brought a calm authority to his roles, "whether playing a prisoner, a president or God." Freeman won an Oscar for his role in Million Dollar Baby in 2005. His next film is the thriller Red. He was also nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for 1997's Street Smart, and has garnered three Academy nominations for best actor for Invictus, Driving Miss Daisy and The Shawshank Redemption. His other credits include Bruce Almighty and Nurse Betty. He will be the 39th recipient of the AFI Lifetime Achievement award. Others include Jack Nicholson, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand, Elizabeth Taylor, Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese. Stringer said Freeman had an "unmistakable voice that echoes through the hearts and minds of movie lovers around the world". The AFI's Lifetime Achievement award is considered one of the highest honours in the US for a film actor. Freeman's ceremony will take place in Los Angeles - it will be broadcast on US TV towards the end of June.

Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman is to receive a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute (AFI).

Figures shared with 5 live Investigates by the charity RoadPeace reveal a 23% drop in prosecutions in England and Wales in the five years to 2015. In the same period the number of convictions fell by nearly 30 per cent. The charity blames a reduction in the number of specialist police officers. The number of road officers in England and Wales fell by nearly 40 per cent from 7,100 in 2005 to 4,350 in 2014. The Department for Transport said: "Britain has some of the safest roads in the world and in 2015 we had the second lowest total of road fatalities on record. "We are determined to do more and we've recently announced tougher penalties for those caught using a mobile phone while driving. "We have also tightened the law to make it easier to prosecute drink-drivers and drug-drivers." Five people die on the UK's roads in the UK every day but campaigners say these incidents are often seen as unfortunate accidents and prosecutions are few and far between. John Thompson's 27-year-old son Jake died from head injuries in 2011 after he was hit on a pedestrian crossing in Bristol by a lorry travelling at 38mph in a 30mph zone. The family had to fight to persuade Avon and Somerset Police to re-open an investigation into Jake's death after the Crown Prosecution Service said there wasn't enough evidence to bring charges against the driver. John is highly critical of the original investigation. He said: "We thought straight after the crash there would've been statements taken. It was about a month before the witnesses were interviewed, the phones weren't checked, the interview of the driver didn't take place until about two or three months afterwards and the interview failed to meet the standards which you would expect. "There hadn't been a proper investigation. They hadn't followed up on certain key leads like CCTV evidence; they hadn't checked the driver's medical history". When the case was eventually taken to court in 2014, it was thrown out, with the judge ruling that there was no case to answer. "I felt hurt, disappointed", said John. "It was almost as if Jake's life had been lost but there were no consequences as far as the legal system was concerned". A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "After the collision involving Jake we carried out an investigation which, when reviewed, was found to have fallen below standards. Following a complaint raised by Mr and Mrs Thompson we recognised and accepted the need to revisit these matters. "As a result, the investigation was re-opened and we renewed our appeal for witnesses, reviewed the information we already had and looked to see if any new lines of enquiry had presented themselves in the interim period. Improvements have since been made in respect of how we approach these types of investigations." RoadPeace believes that the declining number of prosecutions for careless and dangerous driving reflects the police's increasing reluctance to investigate fatal collisions. "Police are not evaluated on their collision investigation performance. Hence it is not a priority," said Amy Aeron Thomas from RoadPeace. "There are no national standards for collision investigation, not even for fatal crashes. Guidance exists but has been weakened in recent years. It is not clear how police evaluate their investigation effectiveness, or if they even do evaluate this." The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) - a charity which advises MPs on road safety - wants the government to create a UK road collision investigation branch. This would be similar to existing organisations which investigate air and rail crashes, and would have the remit of reducing the number of road casualties. Steve Barry, an Assistant Chief Constable at Sussex Police and the National Police Chief's Council lead for collision investigations, says he doesn't believe that the reduction in the number of traffic police has impacted on the number of prosecutions and convictions. He supports the idea of a national investigation branch but says there is a now a very different approach to road safety. "It's less focused on enforcement and prosecution, it's more focused on what is in the public interest, in terms of educating the public, diverting them away from the court. "We need to learn how to keep ourselves safe on the roads, as oppose to prosecuting our way into a situation of better safety. "The balance is between justice and public interest, or learning, and that's a really difficult balance to explain to a [bereaved] family, but what we have to try and explain is there is a balance between justice, for the victims, justice for the families, at the same time of getting as much evidence, as much learning out of it that informs how we keep other people safe on the roads in future." 5 live Investigates is on BBC Radio 5 live, 2 April at 11:00 GMT - catch up on BBC iPlayer Radio.

Prosecution and conviction rates for drivers who cause fatal road crashes have fallen sharply - at the same time as police forces have lost thousands of traffic officers.

Derek Medina admitted taking the picture on his phone and uploading it on to the social media site. He failed to convince the jury that he had shot Jennifer Alfonso eight times in self-defence after years of abuse. He said his wife was threatening him with a knife when he shot her in their home in Miami, but prosecutors said she was cowering on the floor. When he posted the picture, he wrote on Facebook that he expected to go to prison or be sentenced to death for the killing. Prosecutors successfully argued that the 27-year-old wife was in fear of her life when she was shot in August 2013. Medina had vowed to kill her if she left him and she had told friends she intended to do that, the court heard. Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Rundle said: "No family should ever have to see their daughter killed and then exhibited worldwide on the internet like some macabre trophy to a husband's anger." Medina, 33, faces a sentence of 25 years to life for second-degree murder.

A Florida man who killed his wife and posted a photo of the body on Facebook has been found guilty of murder.

This is exactly the same outcome as in 2014, although slightly fewer students got the very top grades. A total of 19.2% passes were A* and A grades - a drop of 0.2%. Wales failed to close the gap with England but the education minister said the best results had been matched and it was a "strong performance". But opposition parties said it was a reality check and Wales had come up short. An improvement in performance in the north east of England (67.2%) saw the region overtake Wales (66.6%) in terms of A* to C grades. Education Minister Huw Lewis said Wales had "at least matched" its best results. "This is the result of hard work and sustained effort by both our learners and their teachers and I wholeheartedly congratulate everyone involved on this success," he said. "I am particularly pleased we have seen such a strong performance at key subjects including English, maths, Welsh and science." Take our GCSE quiz here. There is a difficulty in comparing results for maths, where there has been a further fall in the results of pupils who sat the exam in June. This year, just 47.5% managed to reach a grade of A*-C, compared with 50.6% last year and 52.8% in 2013. However, many pupils in Wales sat the exam earlier in the year. When those results, which tend to be higher, are taken into account, it is expected that figure will rise. Those results will not be released until the autumn. Wales still lags behind other parts of the UK, as well as comparable regions of England. The results show: GCSE results Must do better - how did 40 schools challenged to improve perform? How does it feel for a head teacher as results approach? Where are we at with GCSE changes? Northern Irish pupils achieve best results What is it like to re-take a maths GCSE 22 years later? The 66.6% score on A*-C puts Wales ahead of just two of the nine regions of England - Yorkshire (65.3%) and the East Midlands (65.9%). But it lags behind the north east of England (67.2%) and the north west (68.6%). However, at A*-A grades, Wales scored higher than four of the English regions. POLITICAL REACTION Conservative Shadow Education Minister Angela Burns AM said: "Overall results across Wales are - regrettably - still lagging behind England. "In fact, the attainment gap has widened. That's despite clear promises from Labour's first minister to turn performance around and challenge - and surpass - English results." Aled Roberts AM, Liberal Democrat education spokesman, called it a "massive reality check" for ministers who had spent months heralding this year as being the one where Wales would see a further narrowing of the gap. "However much spin the Welsh government issues before results as to why we cannot rely on bare data, the reality of the situation is that they would have been very willing to rely on that same data if it had painted a more positive picture." Plaid Cymru accused the Welsh government of a "culture of complacency".

Two thirds of Welsh pupils who took GCSEs got A* to C grades, according to this year's results.

The Scottish champions had been charged after fans set off fireworks during the 1-1 draw in Group A at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in Istanbul on 10 December. Uefa's disciplinary body also charged the club with improper conduct after five players were booked. Celtic finished bottom of the group and without a win in their six matches. It is the third match in a calendar year - and the eighth in five years - that has resulted in the Glasgow club being fined by European football's governing body. Last season, they were disciplined for crowd disturbances against Dinamo Zagreb and then for supporters setting off flares, as well as player indiscipline, against Inter Milan. Celtic issued indefinite bans to two supporters following the incidents in Turkey and revealed in December that they were considering legal action against individual fans. Five fans were arrested this month in connection with complaints of sectarian singing during Celtic's Scottish Cup win away to Stranraer. The Scottish FA has written to both clubs and continues to investigate.

Celtic have been fined £13,000 after poor behaviour by their supporters and player indiscipline in their Europa League match against Fenerbahce.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Reds drew 2-2 at the Stadium of Light, less than 44 hours after beating title rivals Manchester City. "I told the players if nobody wanted to play I would never speak about it and not tell anyone, but nobody came. That was a good thing," said Klopp. Match of the Day pundit Martin Keown said: "Klopp looked tired himself." The draw left Liverpool five points behind leaders Chelsea, who visit Tottenham on Wednesday (20:00 GMT). Former Arsenal defender Keown said: "The high-intensity game has taken it out of them but it has been a good half of the season for them." Klopp said he "does not know exactly what I saw" during the draw at the Stadium of Light. Daniel Sturridge and Sadio Mane twice put the Reds ahead, but two Jermain Defoe penalties pegged them back. "I'm not able to explain it," said Klopp. "We can play better football but I'm not sure if you can play better with that break." Klopp made just one change to his starting XI, with forward Sturridge coming in for injured midfielder Jordan Henderson in an altered formation. Liverpool covered a total of 118.63km as a team, outrunning Sunderland, who clocked up 115.89km. That is in keeping with their performances over the rest of the festive period, during which they ran 116.87km in beating Manchester City and 118.94km in their 4-1 win over Stoke on 27 December. Media playback is not supported on this device Sunderland manager David Moyes suggested Klopp would have been widely praised had he been responsible for the home side's tactics. Klopp described the Black Cats as "the most defensive team I ever saw" after his side won the reverse fixture at Anfield 2-0 in November. "Maybe if I was a German manager, you might praise that, actually," said Moyes. "If I had been German, you might have been saying, 'great, you're doing something different'." England striker Sturridge was forced off 10 minutes from full-time on his first Premier League start since October. However, Klopp is hopeful the 27-year-old, who has scored six goals in 14 club appearances this season, will be back sooner rather than later. "He got a knock on his right ankle. I don't think it's too bad," said Klopp. Sturridge has had a series of injuries since signing from Chelsea in January 2013, including hip and thigh problems.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he gave his players the chance to opt out of Monday's match at Sunderland if they were too tired - but nobody wanted to.

It was discovered by a passing police patrol near Holy Cross Boys' Primary School in Ardoyne in the early hours of Sunday morning. Ch Supt Chris Noble said the device was "sizeable" and an attempt by dissident republicans to kill police officers. He said the lives of the local community had also been put at risk. "There's no doubt that device was there to try and kill community police officers on the beat in their local area but also it was left in such a reckless manner and in such a reckless location that it would undoubtedly have led to the death or serious injury of a member of the public had it exploded anywhere near them," he said. "This is an attempt, we believe, by violent dissident republicans to kill police officers but it was also very much an "anti-community act" as well, in terms of where it was located and the way in which it was left." About 20 residents had to leave their homes during the security operation and were given shelter in a nearby community centre. The senior officer said they included "very distressed young children" as well as elderly residents and people with "significant disabilities". They have since been allowed to return home. Northern Ireland Secretary of State, James Brokenshire, said: "I am sickened by this incident with dissident republican terrorists placing a bomb close to a primary school in north Belfast. "This shows their wanton disregard for human life, potentially putting children in danger. "The consequences could have been utterly devastating and it shows them for what they really are." North Belfast MP, Nigel Dodds of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) said: "Those who constructed and planted this device clearly have no regard for any human life. "Such a device could have caused devastation and we must all pay tribute to the work of those who have made the scene safe." The Sinn Féin North Belfast MLA, Gerry Kelly, also condemned those who had left the bomb in the area. "Those who are involved in this need to get off the people's backs and they need to go away," he said. "The message is as simple and straightforward as that, we could have been dealing with death here, thankfully, we're not." SDLP councillor Paul McCusker said the incident had caused distress to those living in the area. "In total there were over 20 homes evacuated," he said. "One young girl, a six-year-old, you could see the fear when you were speaking to her and she said [was] woken up by her mum and had to leave the house. "She told me she actually thought she was dreaming and her and her mum were very frightened." The chair of the Policing Board, Anne Connolly, urged witnesses to help detectives track down those responsible. 'Leaving an explosive device in the heart of the community shows the recklessness of those responsible as anyone could have been caught up in this," she said. "I'm grateful that the device was found and the attempt to harm our police officers thwarted." The school's vice-principal, Chris Donnelly, said: "There was a device that had been left at the entrance to the school which is obviously very disconcerting for people who had to be taken from their beds and moved." He added that a lot of young people gather in the area in the evening. Pupils are due to return to Holy Cross on Monday after the Easter break.

Police have said a bomb which was left outside the gates of a primary school in north Belfast could have killed or seriously injured.

Five justices in the Supreme Court dismissed the challenge for an inquiry into the shootings at Batang Kali in 1948 by a four to one majority. The families, who say the men were "massacred", had their case rejected by the UK Court of Appeal last year. British forces at the time of the killings said the men were insurgents. In the Supreme Court panel's judgement, one of the justices, Lord Kerr, described the case as "shocking" and said the "overwhelming preponderance of currently available evidence" showed "wholly innocent men were mercilessly murdered". He said it was "with regret" that he dismissed the appeal. "This is an instance where the law has proved itself unable to respond positively to the demand that there be redress for the historical wrong that the appellants so passionately believe has been perpetrated on them and their relatives," Lord Kerr said. "That may reflect a deficiency in our system of law. It certainly does not represent any discredit on the honourable crusade that the appellants have pursued." Another of the justices, Lady Hale, said she would have allowed the appeal and said the UK government "did not seriously consider the most cost-effective form which such an inquiry might take". "They did not seriously consider the "bigger picture": the public interest in properly inquiring into an event of this magnitude; the private interests of the relatives and survivors in knowing the truth and seeing the reputations of their deceased relatives vindicated," she said. The appellants in the case - Chong Nyok Keyu, Loh Ah Choi, Lim Kok and Wooi Kum Thai, two of whom were at Batang Kali as children - were supported by the action group Condemning The Batang Kali Massacre, a campaign in Malaysia that includes 568 civil society organisations. Michael Fordham QC, representing the appellants, told the court that the families wished to "vindicate the legitimate interests of the deceased, in order to achieve justice, before they die themselves". Relatives argued that Article 2 - the right to life - of the European Convention on Human Rights imposes a duty on the UK to commission an independent inquiry, despite the killings occurring before the convention was drafted and signed. It was argued on behalf of the government that the Human Rights Act "does not have retrospective effect and does not impose an obligation to hold an inquiry into deaths occurring several decades before it came into force". The account of the British authorities at the time was that the deceased were justifiably shot while they were attempting to escape from the patrol. An official explanation was contained in a written parliamentary answer in Hansard, published on 26 January 1949. On 11 and 12 December 1948 - when Malaya was still a British colony - 24 villagers were killed by a platoon of Scots Guards during a raid at Batang Kali. The men were Chinese migrant workers suspected by the British of helping rebels during the Malayan Emergency - a conflict between communist guerrillas and British and Commonwealth forces, which lasted 12 years. An investigation at the time cleared the soldiers of wrongdoing, but in 1970 some of the soldiers said the villagers had been executed. In the 1990s, authorities in Malaysia opened an investigation, but it was halted before a conclusion was reached. There have been numerous calls for a public inquiry - all of which have been rejected by the UK.

Relatives of 24 rubber plantation workers killed by British troops almost 70 years ago in Malaya have lost an appeal for an official investigation.

Mr Kaczynski's Law and Justice party never accepted an inquiry that found the Smolensk crash was an accident. The party, which was returned to power in elections last month, accuses Mr Tusk of negligence. He resigned as prime minister last year to become European Council president. Government spokesman Elzbieta Witek said Poland's State Tribunal would be "a good thing" for Mr Tusk, referring to a court that handles cases against elected and other senior officials. She was echoing a call from a government minister, Adam Lipinski, who said the former prime minister had "a lot to answer for" and should be prosecuted after his initial term of office came to an end in Brussels in 2017. On 10 April 2010, 96 Poles were killed when the Tupolev plane they were travelling in went down in thick fog, short of the runway near Smolensk in western Russia. The president, his wife and senior government officials were on their way to Katyn to mark the 70th anniversary of the murder of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet secret police. Separate investigations ruled out any kind of plot, blaming the conditions and poorly trained pilots. Leaked transcripts also indicated the pilots had come under pressure from people on board. Mr Lipinski, a minister in the prime minister's office, told Polish newspaper Super Express that Mr Tusk had "given away" the Smolensk investigation to the Russians, had been negligent in explaining the disaster and had failed to bring back the wreckage to Poland. The Law and Justice party is still run by the late president's brother and identical twin, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, although the prime minister is Beata Szydlo. The government spokeswoman said there was no plan to seek a prosecution against Mr Tusk, insisting it was her private view. But ministers this week shut down the website of the Polish state's Smolensk crash investigation.

A Polish government spokeswoman has called for former Prime Minister Donald Tusk to be put on trial for his handling of the 2010 air disaster in which President Lech Kaczynski died.

You might not associate academic analysis with raucous outdoor performances or atmospheric indoor shows under candlelight. But Shakespeare's Globe on London's Bankside is a kind of living laboratory, with its own team of in-house scholars, researchers and academic advisers. Everything from the physical design of the theatre through to the individual performances is informed by the insights and research work of academics The Globe's site beside the River Thames now has two theatres, with the opening of an indoor Jacobean theatre alongside the existing thatch-roofed, open-air playhouse. Building this much smaller, enclosed theatre, called the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, was an academic challenge in itself. Farah Karim-Cooper, one of the Globe's resident scholars, says that it's not a replica of a specific playhouse of the era, but a building assembled from different pieces of architectural evidence and contemporary sources. The design, a wooden candle-lit chamber, with some of the audience practically on stage, is the result of "informed, rigorous speculation, based on all the available evidence". But this doesn't mean an obsessive interest in re-creating "authenticity", says Dr Karim-Cooper. The buildings, like the performances, are about a living, breathing engagement with modern audiences. "We're not interested in re-enactment," she says. But she considers the theatre an experiment in seeing how things work in practice. Like how do you move a play from the operatic scale of outdoor theatre to the close-up intimacy of the indoor theatre? It was something that happened regularly in Shakespeare's day, taking plays from the outdoor Globe to an indoor playhouse such as the Blackfriars, built in the atmospheric ruins of a monastery on the other side of the River Thames. It must have been like a rock band switching from a festival stage to a nightclub. The Globe was playing in daylight to open-air crowds, while the indoor theatre was a smaller, much wealthier audience, watching close-up in candlelight. The Globe team researched different types of candles, with beeswax chosen over tallow for the warmth of the light. And in terms of lighting effects, the indoor theatre has pulley-operated candelabra - or else the actors themselves carry candles. Light and darkness were almost characters in their own right in plays of this pre-electric era. "Darkness was a terrifying presence," says Dr Karim-Cooper. "Darkness was palpable, something that people seemed to be able to touch, it was so thick. It was very much associated with all the horrors of the imagination, the devil, demons, witchcraft - that dark, dark world they felt was out there." She says that if Elizabethans or Jacobeans travelled in time to modern London "their retinas would burn if they saw our levels of light". Another big difference is that Shakespeare's audiences would have been in the same lighting level as the actors on stage. The modern experience of an audience sitting in the dark while the stage is illuminated - a convention carried into the cinema - would have been completely unknown. In the indoor theatres, audiences were paying high prices to see and be seen. The really big spenders could sit in seats at the side of the stage, where they expected to be as much part of the spectacle as the actors. And one of the most distinctive features of plays at the reconstructed Globe is that it's impossible not to watch the audience as much as the play. "It was a very social occasion," says Dr Karim-Cooper, describing the Shakespearean-era theatre as a long day out, with little precise time-keeping and much comment on who was in the crowd and the finery of what they were wearing. "Contemporary accounts are more about the audience and who was there and what happened - more than the actual play," she says. Putting the actors and audience in clear view of one another changes how plays would have been performed. For instance, the great soliloquies in the tragedies become a conversation with the audience, says Dr Karim-Cooper. Modern audiences, in a darkened auditorium, might expect these classic speeches to be a form of introspective, interior monologue. When the audience and actors are looking into each other's eyes, it becomes a different moment. There are other big changes between a modern and Shakespearean theatre visit. It would have smelled very different, says Dr Karim-Cooper. There would have been a heady mix of the perfumes that were highly prized, alongside the earthy scent of thousands of people crammed in together. Another sensory difference would have been the "soundscape", she says. It would have been a much softer sound, as Elizabethan London didn't have engines or loud machinery or amplified music. "In terms of how loud things can get, they had no idea," she says. "There are accounts of people being freaked out by the audience clapping in a playhouse, the sound was so overwhelming. They never heard a plane taking off." The language would have sounded unusual too. The accent of the time would have meant words such as "move" and "love" would have sounded much closer to rhyming. And the Globe has been presenting readings of plays with the original pronunciation. The role of the theatre's research team isn't to be trainspotters in historical accuracy but to provide practical advice for actors and directors. "There is nothing worse than an academic who has never been on a stage, saying this is what you should do. It wouldn't work," says Dr Karim-Cooper. Instead they talk to the performers about the plays and can research any detailed questions. They pride themselves on a quick turnaround, going to the original sources and delivering an authoritative report within a few days. "We want to get beyond Wikipedia," she says. She is co-editor of Moving Shakespeare Indoors, a collection of essays on indoor Jacobean theatres, and education is a key part of the Globe's work. There is a postgraduate degree course in Shakespeare Studies with King's College, London. There are outreach projects with local schools and training events for teachers. Every year there is a landmark schools production, the Playing Shakespeare series, with thousands of free tickets for London pupils. It's been a huge success, with many coming to see Shakespeare plays who have never been inside a theatre before. Dr Karim-Cooper says they want to extend the idea of the theatre as a laboratory. "We want to become a research hub. We want students to be here." The "unique blend" will be the dramatic experimentation alongside the "literary rigour". "We don't separate the practical from the academic."

When you think of a laboratory you wouldn't usually think of cheering crowds or actors in costumes.

The 18-year-old identical twins have come through the club's academy to impress in nine Premiership appearances between them this season. Both play in the back row and have also featured for the England Under-20 side. "They will play key parts in the club's vision of developing players in the academy, and bringing them through to the first team," Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond said. The pair became only the fourth set of twins to play side-by-side in the Premiership when they appeared in Sale's 34-24 defeat by Wasps on 27 November. Tom is also the Sharks' youngest Premiership try scorer after crossing on his debut in the 31-13 win over Bristol on 30 October.

Brothers Ben and Tom Curry have signed five-year contracts with Sale Sharks.

The Ports occupy bottom spot and they are 11 points adrift of Carrick Rangers with four games left. "We look forward to it and we'll have a good chance against Ballinamallard," said Ports boss Niall Currie. Ballinamallard are 11 points clear of Rangers, who sit in the relegation play-off place, so they will retain their Premiership status with a win. Carrick are not in action until Saturday, when they take on Ards, but their destiny may already have been decided by events at Shamrock Park. Portadown came from behind to beat Carrick 2-1 last weekend and Currie is hoping for a repeat display. "We've a lot of kids playing at the minute and if they play like they did against Carrick then we have every confidence for this game," he added. Media playback is not supported on this device "All our remaining matches are ones we can really challenge for." Ballinamallard will be without the suspended Ryan McConnell but Stuart Hutchinson is set to return. "It will be a massive challenge as they are fighting for their lives - it's going be a tough game," said Mallards manager Gavin Dykes.

Anything less than victory against the Mallards will see Portadown relegated from the Irish Premiership.

The first planes landed on the sand in the wide bay of Traigh Mhor in June 1936. It was officially licensed as an airport in August that year. Today, it is one of Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd's busiest sites and regularly features on lists of the world's most scenic airports. Flights to and from Barra are dictated by the tide and its three runways are fully submerged at high tide. Small planes, specially designed to be able to land on the beach, fly between the island and Glasgow on a lifeline service subsidised by the Scottish government. Last year, Canadian company Viking Air Limited won the contract to provide two new 19-seater Twin Otter DHC6-400 aircraft to fly on the route. According to Hial, the route involves more than 10,000 passengers a year. There are also about 60 private light aircraft flights to Barra per year.

The Isle of Barra's world famous beach airport is 80 years old.

The company has been negotiating with the pension regulator and the PPF in a bid to offload its pension liabilities and a decision is expected soon. Most, if not all, members of the scheme would see a reduction in benefits. Those under retirement age would receive an immediate 10% cut in their pension pot. In addition, annual payments to most members, including those already retired, would be less in the PPF than if the Hoover scheme continued. At about £500m, the pension scheme is roughly the same size as BHS. BHS pensions is already receiving compensation from PPF which acts as a lifeboat for pensions so people are paid even when a company goes bust or is about to and if there are insufficient assets in the scheme. BHS is being assessed for take-over by the organisation. The Hoover scheme has a deficit of about £250m. Parent company Hoover Candy stopped producing washing machines in Merthyr Tydfil in 2009, blaming competition in the marketplace. More than 300 workers lost their jobs although there is still a head office and a distribution warehouse in the town. It is believed about half of the Hoover pension scheme's 7,800 members live in Wales. Pensions expert Stuart Price, partner at Quantum Advisory, said: "Members of the pension schemes will lose out on their benefits but, on the flipside, those still employed by the company will retain their jobs. "At the moment they [members] don't know what's happening so they can't really plan for their short-term future. "If they get a 10% reduction [for those under 65] and lower increases in the future they might find it very hard to overcome." Will you be affected by a change to the Hoover pensions scheme?

Up to 4,000 people in Wales could be affected if the Hoover pension scheme goes into the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), BBC Wales understands.

KLM has added a 06:00 weekday flight from the Highlands airport and an evening flight from Schiphol. Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (Hial) said the flights would allow people to spend a full day in the Netherlands before returning home. It is the latest addition from KLM since it started Inverness-Amsterdam flights last year.

New scheduled flights have been introduced between Inverness and Amsterdam.

Scott Carson was at full stretch to tip a header from Brentford's John Egan behind, while Tom Ince saw his free-kick turned over by visiting keeper Daniel Bentley. The visitors almost scored when Scott Hogan rounded Carson, but he could only find the side netting. Derby, who have just seven goals in 13 games, are three points off relegation. Johnny Russell and Ince had the Rams' best second-half chances, while Romaine Sawyers had a penalty shout waved away for Brentford. Despite the lack of goals, Steve McClaren's Derby side are now on a four-game unbeaten run, conceding just once in the process. Their lack of attacking impetus was compounded by James Wilson's knee injury in training, and they also lost Will Hughes, who limped off midway through the first half. Brentford, winless in three games, are just a point outside the top six and rarely looked in trouble against their hosts. The clean sheet was their first against Derby in 11 attempts, going back to 1953, and they have not won an away game against the Rams since 1939. Derby County manager Steve McClaren: "The first half was too slow, no tempo and a little too safe. "But we've got to play football with these players, they are football players, we can't play long ball. "At times they are making mistakes but that will progress and will get better and I had no faults apart from in the final third where we needed that bit of magic. "A draw was probably a fair result, we huffed and puffed without blowing the house down." Brentford head coach Dean Smith: "I don't know if we deserved to win but we certainly deserved a penalty. "It was a double whammy and how it's not given I don't know. I think their bench was embarrassed it wasn't given as well. "I thought our performance was very good, very disciplined and the intensity of pressing in our half was very good. "Derby have got very good players but had very few clear-cut chances and I think our goalkeeper was rarely troubled. Match ends, Derby County 0, Brentford 0.

However goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama declined the chance to appear to answer questions about comments he made about playing an international match in Kaduna. The NFF executive board will have the final say on any punishments, on a date yet to be decided. Keshi, who signed a new two-year deal with the NFF in April, was on a list of 59 applicants published recently by the Ivorian federation (FIF) to take over from Frenchman Herve Renard. Meanwhile, Super Eagles captain Enyeama made "uncomplimentary remarks" regarding safety and security in Kaduna for a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad. Enyeama, who plays for French club Lille and is the Super Eagles most capped player with 101 appearances, failed to reply to messages from the NFF seeking an explanation for his comments. The 32-year-old could face a lengthy ban for his comments which the NFF feels broke its recent code of conduct signed by the players as well as his failure to attend Tuesday's hearing.

Coach Stephen Keshi met with the Nigeria Football Federation's (NFF) disciplinary committee on Tuesday to answer questions on why his name appeared on a list of candidates to manage Ivory Coast.

The ad - part of a government-funded anti violence campaign - holds a special significance at the time when many worry that an overflow of Mexico's drug violence could soon hit this small Central American nation. The first one to raise the alert was President Mauricio Funes himself, last April. "We have information that they [the cartels] have entered El Salvador with exploratory purposes," President Funes said. Because of what he described as the "effectiveness" of Mexican President Felipe Calderon's policies, the cartels were looking at new bases for their operations, he added. Since then, security forces have been watching closely to see if criminal organisations like the Zetas - one of Mexico's most violent cartels - are deploying in Salvadorean territory. The cartels' possible collusion - or confrontation - with local gangs is also being monitored. Douglas Garcia Funes from the Salvadorean national police says intelligence suggests that gang members are already "being used by or are operatives for the transport of drugs and money towards the United States, passing through Mexico". In a country with one of the highest murder rates in the world, this is a sobering scenario. It could bring more chaos to an already violent country, many Salvadoreans say - and the government seems to be bracing for the worst. "We are certainly worried, and that is why we want to act in a preventive manner," Hugo Martinez, El Salvador's foreign minister, told BBC News. In pictures: Life inside an El Salvador jail The presence of the gangs known as "maras", born among Salvadorean migrants in Los Angeles in the 1980s, is believed to be the largest contributor to those soaring rates. Some estimates say that about 15,000 young men and women belong to one of the gangs. In some families, a third generation of gang members is now developing. The maras have strong territorial control in some areas of the country and practice what they call "social cleansing" - they wipe out petty crime, but ask for money from locals in exchange for protection, and engage in widespread criminal activity. A retired gang member, who prefers not to be named, says that belonging to a "mara" gives young, poor Salvadoreans a sense of vindication against the larger society. "People are scared, are afraid of what a gang member can do, like stealing or killing," he says. "That is what being part of a 'mara' is about." The maras are not new to El Salvador, but an incident in June marked a turning point. Gang members set fire to a small bus in the capital, killing 17 people. The government branded it a "terrorist act". Soon afterwards, the government proposed a tough "anti-mara" bill that makes it a criminal offence to belong to a gang or contribute to gang finances by paying extortion fees. In addition, more than 6,000 soldiers - almost half of the army's manpower - have been deployed in hotspots around the country including border crossings, jails and areas with a strong "mara" presence. This tougher stance was seen by many as preparation for the threat of Mexican cartels moving in to El Salvador. The person who knows most about violence in El Salvador may well be Israel Ticas, a forensic investigator from the security ministry. He is the sole official in charge of the exhumation of bodies buried in clandestine graveyards by the gangs. He has already unearthed more than 38 of these graves around the country - and he believes there are dozens more still to be found. The walls of his office in the capital are covered with pictures of the bodies, many of them too hard to digest for a casual observer. They show men and women tortured, beheaded, mutilated; the violence seems to reach unimaginable levels. And, says Mr Ticas, the cruelty is only getting worse. "In the last few years, the gangs have become more sophisticated" in the way they bury their victims, he says. "They hide [the bodies] better and it is harder for us to find them - now they leave a beheaded body in one site and the head is buried five kilometres [three miles] away." It is hard to imagine how violence in El Salvador could go any further - and that is why many fear that the arrival of foreign organised criminal groups would be a nightmare come true.

From a giant billboard in the Salvadorean capital, a man with a defiant attitude shows off a slogan on his shirt: "No one can intimidate El Salvador," it reads.

He was driven to Pretoria's Kgosi Mampuru prison where he is expected to be housed in the hospital wing. Judge Thokozile Masipa gave Pistorius a five-year jail sentence for culpable homicide, but cleared him of murder. His defence said it expected him to serve about 10 months, with the remainder under house arrest. His family say he will not appeal. The parents of Reeva Steenkamp told the BBC they were happy with the sentence and relieved the case was over. Prosecutors had called for a minimum 10-year term, and the defence had argued for community service and house arrest. Pistorius, 27, an amputee sprinter who became the first athlete to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, killed Ms Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year. He says he shot her by mistake, fearing there was an intruder in his house in Pretoria. Ms Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model, reality TV star and law graduate, was hit three times by bullets fired by Pistorius through a toilet door. Before he went down the stairs and out of court, Oscar Pistorius slipped off his expensive watch and handed it to a relative. It seems the athlete probably knew his sentence beforehand, which helps explains the subdued atmosphere in court today. This case has revealed plenty about South Africa - its gun culture, the strengths and inadequacies of its police and prisons. But above all it has been a simple story, about the rise and fall of a global icon. As the crowds and cameras drift away from the courthouse, what lingers is the sense of waste. Of lives and careers for sure. But of time too. A man and a woman went into a bathroom. Only one came out alive. As the judge made clear - the trial should have been over in a matter of weeks. Instead it turned into a tortuous, overwrought epic. Relief as justice is served Pistorius showed little reaction to the sentence other than to wipe his eyes before being led away to a holding cell downstairs. He was then driven away from court in an armoured police van to Pretoria's Kgosi Mampuru prison, where he was expected to undergo a medical assessment. It is likely that he will be held in a one-man cell in the hospital wing, thought to be most appropriate for the athlete's disability. Correctional services spokesman Manelisi Wolela told AFP news agency Pistorius was "already accommodated at Kgosi Mampuru". He could be released after serving a sixth of his sentence, or 10 months, for good behaviour. However, Dup De Bruyn, a lawyer for the Steenkamp family, told Reuters that he believed Pistorius would probably serve two years. Pistorius's uncle, Arnold, said the family would not appeal against the sentence. "We accept the judgment. Oscar will embrace the opportunity to pay back to society," he said. He appealed to the media to "accept the ruling of court and let us move forward in this process and give us some degree of dignity and privacy". The BBC's Nomsa Maseko, outside court, says opinion there was divided on the sentence, with some saying it was too light, others that it was fair. Judge Masipa said she considered her sentence "fair and just, both to society and to the accused". She said: "A non-custodial sentence would send the wrong message to the community. On the other hand, a long sentence would also not be appropriate either, as it would lack the element of mercy." She said Pistorius had made an "enormous contribution to society", in his charity work and in changing the public perception of disability. But she added: "It would be a sad day for this country if an impression were to be created that there was one law for the poor and disadvantaged, and another for the rich and famous." Judge Masipa also gave Pistorius a three-year suspended sentence for a separate incident - firing a gun in a restaurant. The prosecution service said it would consider an appeal but expressed satisfaction that Pistorius had been given jail time. However, the Women's League of South Africa's ruling African National Congress said it did plan to appeal. "We're doing this not only for Reeva but for the millions of South African women who are killed at the hands of their partners, people who are supposed to protect them," said spokeswoman Khsuela Sangoni. "A five-year sentence like this sends a message to society that it is fine to commit such heinous crimes as femicide, and you will be able to get away with a slap on the wrist." The International Paralympic Committee told the BBC it would not allow Pistorius to run at any of its events for five years, even if he were released early. Inside Oscar Pistorius's home 1 2 3 5 4 Mr Pistorius said he and Ms Steenkamp had dinner at about 19:00 before going to bed at 21:00. He said he woke in the early hours, spoke briefly to his girlfriend and got up to close the sliding door and curtains. Judge Thokozile Masipa questioned the reliability of several witnesses who said they heard screams and gunshots between about 03:12 and 03:17, saying most had 'got facts wrong'. Mr Pistorius said he heard the bathroom window sliding open and believed that an intruder, or intruders, had entered the bathroom through a window which was not fitted with burglar bars. Mr Pistorius said he grabbed his firearm and told Ms Steenkamp, who he thought was still in bed, to call the police. The judge said it made no sense that Ms Steenkamp did not hear him scream 'Get out' or call the police, as she had her mobile phone with her. Mr Pistorius could see the bathroom window was open and toilet door closed. He said he did not know whether the intruders were outside on a ladder or in the toilet. He had his firearm in front of him, he heard a movement inside the toilet and thought whoever was inside was coming out to attack him. 'Before I knew it, I had fired four shots at the door,' he said. The judge said she did not accept that Mr Pistorius fired the gun by accident or before he knew what was happening. She said he had armed himself with a lethal weapon and clearly wanted to use it. The other question, she said, was why he fired not one, but four shots before he ran back to the room to try to find Ms Steenkamp. Mr Pistorius said he went back to the bedroom and noticed that Ms Steenkamp was not there. Mr Pistorius said this was when he realised she could have been in the toilet and rushed back to the bathroom. Mr Pistorius said he screamed for help and went back to the bathroom where he found the toilet was locked. He returned to the bedroom, pulled on his prosthetic legs and turned on the lights before bashing in the toilet door with a cricket bat. When the door panel broke, he found the key and unlocked the door and found Ms Steenkamp slumped on the floor with her head on the toilet bowl. He then carried her downstairs, where he was met by neighbours. 3D animation of the apartment

South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has begun serving time in jail for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The secretary of Honeybourne Railway Club said he originally thought someone had broken into the premises, near Evesham in Worcestershire. The floor was covered in beer and glasses and bottles smashed, Sam Boulter said. Mr Boulter, 62, said he then saw a squirrel "staggering around" after coming out from behind a box of crisps. He added: "There were bottles scattered around, money scattered around and he had obviously run across the bar's pumps and managed to turn on the Caffrey's tap. "He must have flung himself on the handle and drank some as he was staggering around all over the place and moving a bit slowly. "I've never seen a drunk squirrel before. He was sozzled and looked a bit worse for wear, shall we say." Mr Boulter, who estimated he lost about £300 in the incident, eventually caught the squirrel in a waste paper bin and released it out of the window.

A "drunk" squirrel has caused hundreds of pounds of damage at a private members' club.

The main feature was a drop in bank shares. That came after the news that Deutsche Bank faces a $14bn penalty to settle an investigation by US regulators into the mis-selling of mortgage-backed securities. Shares in RBS fell by 4.4%, Barclays by 2.8% and Standard Chartered by 2.7%. Neil Wilson, from ETX Capital, said the Deutsche case could have serious implications for RBS which was "among a number of European institutions that could face similar claims from the US Department of Justice", he said. "RBS could have to pay up to $13bn to settle the claims. "Even a third of this figure could deliver a crippling blow to the lender, making its return to profitability even further off. It would also derail plans to return the bank to private ownership any time soon," Mr Wilson added. Among the main risers in London were TUI, up nearly 4%; Shire, up 3.2%; and Burberry, up 3%. On the currency markets, the pound fell 1.2% against the dollar to $1.309 and dropped 0.4% against the euro to €1.1730.

(Close): London share prices fell back slightly, with the FTSE 100 index closing 20 points lower at 6,710, a fall of just 0.3%.

The event at the University of Wolverhampton Sports Complex in Walsall will feature a number of Rio 2016 Paralympic medallists. It will be the first opportunity for judoka to pick up world ranking points in the Tokyo 2020 cycle. Great Britain last hosted the Europeans in 2011 in Crawley. Judo for blind and visually-impaired athletes is similar to the sighted sport, but fighters start the bouts gripped up. The competition will be followed by a three-day training camp giving athletes the opportunity to train alongside some of Britain's best sighted judoka at the British Judo Centre of Excellence. "It's brilliant that we'll have the chance to fight in front of a home crowd at a major international event this year," said Hull fighter Chris Skelley, who came fifth in the -100kg category at the Rio Paralympics. Fighting in Rio last year we all saw how important home support was for the Brazilian players and I think it will make a big difference to us. "It's a really important stepping stone on the road to Tokyo."

Britain will host the 2017 International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) European Judo Championships from Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 August.

The scenery ranges from white sandy beaches with an abundance of marine life to dense jungle. Palau favours sustainable tourism, which along with foreign aid is the mainstay of its economy. Palau became independent in 1994, after being part of a United Nations trust territory administered by the US for 47 years. It relies on financial aid from the US, provided under a Compact of Free Association which gives the US responsibility for Palau's defence and the right to maintain military bases there. Direct aid was set to wind up in 2009, but the US agreed to an additional package of $250 million in January 2010. Tourism is low key, although growing in economic importance. Many visitors come from Taiwan, with which Palau has diplomatic ties. Taiwanese aid boosts the economy. The government is Palau's largest employer. Monoliths and other relics are reminders of an ancient culture that thrived on the islands, and despite Western trappings many Palauans identify strongly with their traditions and rites. Palau's recent history has been dominated by outside influences from Spain, Britain, Germany, Japan and the US. Palau saw some of the region's fiercest fighting in World War II. There is concern that the low-lying islands could be badly affected by rising sea levels possibly due to climate change.

He described the 2016 election race as one of the toughest ever on both a political and personal level. He has said that his vision for Palau is to achieve a sustainable future for the country by balancing growth, development and the protection of the Palau's environmental and cultural assets. The law provides for a free press, and there are no reports of official curbs on internet access. The senate has twice tried to ban foreign ownership of media. In 2012, a clause to this effect was included in a new telecommunications bill. It was put on hold amid international criticism. Some key events in Palau's history: circa 2500 BC - Palau's first inhabitants - thought to have come from present-day eastern Indonesia - settle in the islands. The early Palauans develop complex social systems, practice fishing and farming. 1783 - English captain Henry Wilson is shipwrecked on a reef and becomes the first Westerner to visit. 1885 - Spain asserts its claim to the islands. 1899 - Spain sells Palau to Germany, which begins to exploit the islands' resources using native labour. Phosphate is mined and coconut plantations are developed. 1914 - After Germany's defeat in World War I, Japan seizes Palau. 1947 - Palau becomes a United Nations Trust Territory under US administration. 1981 - Republic of Palau comes into being, following the territory's adoption of a constitution in July 1980. President Haruo Remeliik takes office. 1994 - Palau becomes independent under the Compact of Free Association with the US. Palau receives financial and other aid from Washington, and the US retains responsibility for defence and the right to operate military bases. Palau joins the UN.

More than 200 volcanic and coral islands, many of them surrounded by a single barrier reef, make up the northern Pacific nation of Palau.

Teresa Dennett, 58, needed surgery after a stroke and the coroner concluded "it is likely she would have survived" if the operation went ahead. Nottingham University Hospitals said its intensive care unit was full and suggested she should go to Sheffield. But NHS England said a lack of beds was not a reason for refusing admission. Live updates and more from Nottinghamshire. The death was highlighted by Heidi Connor, assistant coroner for Nottinghamshire, who has written what is known as a Regulation 28 report, which sets out aims to prevent future deaths. She has sent the report to the chief executives of NHS England and two of the hospital trusts involved, following the inquest in Nottingham that ended on 6 January. She wrote: "In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths will occur unless action is taken. "Crucially, it was clear there was no written protocol in place to set out a clear pathway for referral for emergency neurosurgery." Meanwhile, the Royal College of Surgeons said it was "saddened" by the death and has called for NHS England to review bed capacity in the face of cuts. In response to the Regulation 28 report Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, NHS England's National Medical Director, has written to medical directors reminding them of national guidelines. He referred to the Society of British Neurological Surgeons care quality statement (2015), which states: "The lack of critical care beds must not be a reason for refusing admission for patients requiring urgent surgery." However in evidence, the inquest heard adopting the society's statement was voluntary, many of the neurosurgeons involved in the case had not heard of this statement before, and some described it as "aspirational". NHS England must formally respond to the coroner by 30 June. The coroner sent her report to the chief executives of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (STH), which must respond by 31 March. NUH said: "We extend our condolences to Mrs Dennett's family and apologise that we were unable to transfer her to our specialist unit immediately to consider surgery. "We are working with partner hospitals to ensure more effective emergency care and transfers to specialist units in this diagnosis." STH said: "If Nottingham had confirmed with us that they could not undertake the surgery, as per the clinical guidelines, we would have operated on Mrs Dennett in Sheffield regardless of bed availability. "We will be discussing with Nottingham and King's Mill Hospitals the lessons which need to be learned in respect of the use of the clinical guidelines, so that the chances of this happening again are limited." King's Mill Hospital is run by Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, whose medical director Dr Andy Haynes said: "The coroner rightly praised our medical registrar for doing all he could to facilitate a very difficult situation." The inquest heard about a proposed new way of working whereby a patient who needs life-saving surgery would be transported immediately to their local unit. This may mean a critical care bed would have to be found for the patient after the operation, even if that requires extensive "bed-juggling", as the coroner termed it. In extreme cases, post-operative treatment could be provided elsewhere.

A woman died after a hospital did not accept her for neurosurgery citing an intensive care bed shortage, an inquest heard.

There have been calls for Carroll, 27, to make an international return after his recent hat-trick against Arsenal. But Hodgson said: "Every time someone scores a goal and he's English it is 'why is he not playing for England?' "I'm certainly not going to pick him on the basis that he scored a hat-trick so therefore has to be in the England team." Ex-Newcastle and Liverpool forward Carroll has scored two goals in nine England appearances, but has not featured for the national side since October 2012. Tottenham's Harry Kane, the Premier League's top-scorer with 22 goals this season, and Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, who has netted 21 times, have established themselves in the England set-up and both played in last month's friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands. Arsenal forwards Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge were also in those squads, while captain Wayne Rooney has now returned to the Manchester United side following injury. Media playback is not supported on this device Carroll has scored seven league goals this season and Hodgson will name his 23-man squad for this summer's tournament in France on 12 May. "We know Andy, we know his qualities," added the 68-year-old. "In an ideal world, if you had a lot of places at your disposal, you'd always include a guy like him because he is exceptional in the air - but whether or not I'd be able to include him with all these others, I don't know." The England boss hinted that even skipper Rooney might not be assured of a place after his two-month lay-off with a knee problem. "There's no disguising the fact that people like (Arsenal midfielder) Jack Wilshere, (Manchester City forward) Raheem Sterling, (Liverpool midfielder) Jordan Henderson, (Arsenal midfielder) Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wayne Rooney - a year ago they were five players who were getting into every squad," said Hodgson. "Things have happened to them and we have to reassess. "If we can be sure they are at the level of fitness and capability to produce the performances they produced a year ago they will be serious contenders. If we are not convinced, we have to give it some thought."

England manager Roy Hodgson has played down West Ham striker Andy Carroll's chance of being selected for Euro 2016.

"I'm frustrated to say the least, but very pleased that we've stayed in this division," Hodges told BBC Cornwall. "In a couple weeks time I'll be pleased we're still in this division, but we're going to have to raise the bar." The Cornish side were safe going into their final game, which they lost 4-0 at relegated Bishop's Stortford. "Well done for staying up," he added. "But we've underachieved by a country mile." Having been play-off semi-finalists in 2015-16, after finishing fourth in the table, the White Tigers dropped to 19th in 2016-17, letting in 99 goals from their 42 league games, more than any other side above the bottom three. Hodges says he will meet chairman Peter Masters this week to discuss plans for next season. "There are a lot of decisions to be made on players," he said. "There's a few bonuses there for players who have done very well and competed, and others know that they've not been up to the standard."

Lee Hodges says his Truro team have underachieved by a "country mile" by finishing the season one place above the National League South drop zone.

As adept at crafting concert films and documentaries as he was with thrillers, comedies and emotional family dramas, his list of credits shows him to be versatile as well as prolific. Everyone will have their favourites. Personally I have a soft spot for Something Wild, a darkly comic romance from 1986 in which Jeff Daniels realises a date with Melanie Griffith comes with a psychotic ex attached. But if you had to choose the five films that best illustrate his formidable range, you could do a lot worse than picking the following: A footnote in the life of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes formed the basis for this early success. It riffs on the much-disputed relationship between Hughes and Melvin Dummar, a service station owner from Utah who claimed to be one of Hughes's beneficiaries after his 1976 death. It's a quirky story that enabled Demme to muse on the pitfalls of instant celebrity and the way a sudden windfall makes everyone your friend. Mary Steenburgen won an Oscar for playing Melvin's first wife, while Bo Goldman was also rewarded by the Academy for his screenplay. Few directors have captured the electricity and excitement of live performance better than Jonathan Demme. For proof, one need look no further than this film of Talking Heads in concert, shot over three nights in 1983. Featuring such hits as Psycho Killer, Burning Down the House and Once in a Lifetime, it's a perfect marriage of music, cinema and humour. The latter is provided by David Byrne's suit, which gets progressively larger, and absurder, as the film goes on. Another live performance we can enjoy again and again thanks to Demme comes in this vivid record of one of Spalding Gray's acclaimed stage monologues. Focusing on the sometime actor's involvement in 1984 film The Killing Fields, it's a piece that addresses, both comically and poetically, America's own involvement in south-east Asian affairs. Laurie Anderson's score combines with Gray's hypnotising skills as a storyteller to make a riveting hybrid. Demme wasn't the first film-maker to bring Hannibal Lecter to the screen. That honour belonged to Michael Mann and his 1986 thriller Manhunter. Lambs, though, was the one the Academy recognised, awarding it all of the "big five" Oscars - best picture, actor, actress, director and screenplay. The film - and Sir Anthony Hopkins' Lecter - still have the power to chill the blood with its grisly autopsy scenes and Grand Guignol atmosphere. What lingers most, though, is the psychological richness and complexity of a film that, uncommonly at the time, put a female heroine - Jodie Foster's dogged Clarice Starling - at the forefront of the action. Two years on from Lambs' Oscar sweep, Tom Hanks won the first of his two back-to-back Oscars for his role as a lawyer with HIV fighting workplace discrimination. The film did much to remove the stigma associated with Aids at the time, not least by earning more than $200m (£156m) at the worldwide box office. "We wanted to reach people who don't know people with Aids, who look down on people with Aids," Demme told Rolling Stone in 1994. "We were calculated about it. We set out to make a movie dealing with Aids discrimination, and there it is." Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The film career of Jonathan Demme, who has died at the age of 73, spanned five decades and at least as many genres.

Durham fast bowler Wood is working on his fitness after three ankle operations in the past 12 months. Durham's Keaton Jennings will captain the North, while Hampshire's James Vince will skipper the South. England selector James Whitaker says the series is "a platform for players to make an impression". "We see it as an important addition to our selection process in 50-over cricket, ahead of the two major global events we are staging over the next three summers - the Champions Trophy next year, and the World Cup in 2019," Whitaker said. Wood impressed for England during the ODI series with Pakistan at the end of the summer, but Finn has not featured for his country in limited-overs cricket since September 2015. Jennings was a late call-up to the England Test squad in India this winter, while Vince played in the ODI series in Bangladesh in October. Ben Duckett, who made his senior England debut in both Test and ODI cricket against Bangladesh this winter, Liam Dawson, Tim Bresnan and Harry Gurney are the other England players named in the two 13-man squads. Four members of each squad won their places through the Professional Cricketers' Association's Most Valuable Player ranking system, with the remaining squad members picked by selectors. England assistant coach Paul Farbrace will coach the South, while England bowling coach Ottis Gibson is in charge of the North. The first two games of the three-match series take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 17 and 19 March, while the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi will host the third game on 21 March. Squads for North v South series, March 2017 North squad: Keaton Jennings (Durham, capt), Ben Duckett (Northamptonshire*), Sam Hain (Warwickshire), Joe Clarke (Worcestershire), Liam Livingstone (Lancashire), Jack Leaning (Yorkshire), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire*), Josh Poysden (Warwickshire), Graeme White (Northamptonshire*), Mark Wood (Durham), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Richard Gleeson (Northamptonshire), Harry Gurney (Nottinghamshire*) South squad: James Vince (Hampshire, capt), Daniel Bell-Drummond (Kent), Tom Alsop (Hampshire), Dawid Malan (Middlesex), Sam Northeast (Kent), Liam Dawson (Hampshire*), Ben Foakes (Surrey), Tom Curran (Surrey), Lewis Gregory (Somerset*), Tim Groenewald (Somerset*), Matt Coles (Kent*), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Mason Crane (Hampshire) * - automatic selection through position in Professional Cricketers' Association's Most Valuable Player rankings for the 2016 One-Day Cup Media playback is not supported on this device

England bowlers Mark Wood and Steven Finn are in the squads for the new North v South one-day series in the United Arab Emirates in March.

Robert Rainey, known as Archie, is understood to have suffered a heart attack in one of the stands at about 18:00 local time. Medics tried to resuscitate the 62-year-old Belfast man inside the stadium but he was later pronounced dead. His family said he died "doing what he loved best". In a statement, they said: "Our father has sadly passed away whilst in France supporting Northern Ireland at the Euros, surrounded by all his friends and family. "We are obviously devastated at this loss, and thankful for everyone's thoughts and prayers." Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill said he and his squad were "all shocked when we heard this sad news after the game". "The thoughts of all the players and the backroom staff are with Robert's family and friends at this time." The Irish Football Association (IFA) said it will request that Northern Ireland players can wear black armbands during the team's game against Germany on Tuesday as a mark of respect to Mr Rainey. He is the second Northern Ireland fan to die in France this week. Early on Monday morning, 24-year-old Darren Rodgers, from Ballymena in County Antrim, died after a fall from a promenade in Nice. The incident happened just hours after Northern Ireland's opening game of the tournament against Poland. Northern Ireland's players wore black armbands during the win over Ukraine in Lyon in memory of Mr Rodgers. There was also a minute's applause by supporters inside the ground in the 24th minute of the game as a tribute to him. After Mr Rainey's death, Supt Nigel Goddard, of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, said: "Our thoughts are tragically with a second family this week mourning the devastating loss of their loved one." Patrick Nelson, the IFA's chief executive, said the man's death during the game "puts any result of a football match into perspective". John Delaney, the chief executive of the Football Association of Ireland, said the man's death was "a sad outcome to what was a historic day for Northern Irish football".

A Northern Ireland supporter has died at the Stade de Lyon as he watched the team beat Ukraine at the Euro 2016 tournament in France.

A Spanish court has suspended a ban on the former France midfielder and World Cup winner, 42, coaching Real Madrid Castilla. The Spanish football federation punished Zidane and fellow reserve team coach Santiago Sanchez for not having the required qualifications. Media playback is not supported on this device Real said they would "pursue every legal avenue" to overturn the ban. The European champions said Zidane was awarded the necessary licence by the French football federation. He was appointed Real reserve-team boss this summer after working as assistant to first-team coach Carlo Ancelotti last season. Zidane won the World Cup with France in 1998 and was named World Footballer of the Year in 1998, 2000 and 2003. He spent five seasons with Real as a player after joining from Juventus in 2001 for £45.8m - then a world record fee - and scored the winner in the 2002 Champions League final. Castilla were relegated from the second division last season, before Zidane joined the coaching staff. They are currently 14th in Group 2 of the regional four-group Segunda B, the third tier.

Zinedine Zidane can continue coaching Real Madrid reserves until his appeal against a three-month ban is heard.

Scarborough Athletic FC played in its home town for the first time since the club was founded in 2007. The team, formed after the collapse of Scarborough FC, has been playing home fixtures nearly 20 miles away in Bridlington. The Sea Dogs lost 4-1 against Sheffield United XI in front of a sell-out 2,000 crowd at Flamingo Land Stadium. Chairman Trevor Bull said: "Today is not only a great day for our club, it is also a massive day for our town." The club was formed after Scarborough FC went out of business with debts of £2.5m. It is jointly owned by about 350 supporters. Fan and club communications officer Will Baines said: "A lot of people have put a lot of work in to the club while we've been in exile, but now we're coming home." Mr Baines said the move back to Scarborough was key to the future success of the side. "We're fan-owned which means we've got our destiny in our own hands," he said. "We've not got a big investor backing us, so that's why it's important that we're back in town as it's the money that we get through the turnstiles every week that will pay for the club." The homecoming fixture generated such interest the council and club warned people not to congregate on the hill overlooking the ground as it has no public right of way. The stadium forms part of a £50m development built on the town's former Weaponness Park and Ride site, which includes a swimming pool, new University Technical College and Coventry University's Scarborough campus. Scarborough FC's former ground - the McCain Stadium - was demolished in 2011.

A football team has played its first home game in more than 10 years after moving into a new stadium.

Experts reassembled pieces of tiles found amid tons of earth from the site known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif. They say the tiles date from the period of the Second Temple, during the time of King Herod about 2,000 years ago. The temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD during a Jewish rebellion. Some 600 segments of coloured stone floor have been found since archaeologists began examining the debris from the hilltop site in 2004. The plateau where the temples stood is the most sacred site in Judaism. It is joined by the Western Wall, venerated by Jews as part of the original supporting wall of the temple compound. Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary) is also the place where Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven, and is the third holiest site in Islam. The archaeologists say the tiles probably came from porticos in the temple's courtyards. Piecing the fragments together "enables us to get an idea of the Temple's incredible splendour", said Dr Gabriel Barkay of the Temple Mount Sifting Project. Experts say they managed to assemble seven potential designs of how the flooring could have looked like. The type of flooring is known as opus sectile, Latin for "cut work", and "considered to be far more prestigious than mosaic tiles floors", according to Frankie Snyder, from the project's team. "The tile segments were perfectly inlaid such that one could not even insert a sharp blade between them," she said. The Temple Mount Sifting Project was established by Israeli archaeologists in 2004 to examine debris dumped by Islamic authorities following expansion work at an underground mosque on the compound. The project attracts thousands of visitors each year who participate in finger-tip searches of the earth and has so far turned up hundreds of ancient relics, including coins, animal bones and pieces of pottery.

Archaeologists in Jerusalem say they have for the first time reconstructed likely designs of a Biblical Jewish temple floor using original fragments.

They said the Syrian government had failed to respect the 1 June deadline for widespread aid distribution agreed by world and regional powers. Only a small amount of aid was delivered on Wednesday and a convoy to the town of Darayya near Damascus did not carry food. The UN Security Council will meet on Friday to discuss the air drops. Syrian town in 'extremely dire' state What's left of Syria? US State Department spokesman John Kirby said hundreds of thousands of Syrians needed "sustained and regular" access to aid. He said the UN food agency, the World Food Programme, had briefed the US on how the air drops could be carried out. Meanwhile British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond described the limited access for aid allowed on the day of the deadline agreed by the International Syria Support group (ISSG) as "cynical". "While air drops are complex, costly and risky, they are now the last resort to relieve human suffering across many besieged areas," he said. The US and UK called on Russia and Iran, which back the Syrian government, to use their influence to ensure the air drops could proceed safely. Russia said the arrival of Wednesday's aid convoys was a positive step. The ISSG, co-chaired by the US and Russia, comprises 17 world and regional powers, as well the Arab League, the European Union and the United Nations. In April, the UN said at least 4,000 people were besieged in Darayya by Syrian government forces, which have surrounded the suburb for four years. The Darayya convoy - the first since November 2012 - contained vaccines, baby milk, medicine and nutritional goods. Separately, the rebel-held town of Muadhamiya, north-west of Darayya, received deliveries of food parcels and wheat flour on Wednesday, a month since aid convoys last visited. Darayya's electricity supply was cut off more than three years ago. UN emergency relief co-ordinator Stephen O'Brien said in April that the Syrian government had ignored "countless" requests for aid to be allowed in. An aid convoy was blocked from entering the town last month, despite all involved parties agreeing aid could be delivered. The latest delivery was made by teams from the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Syrian Red Crescent. Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday it had agreed a pause with the Syrian authorities for 48 hours to allow for the distribution of humanitarian aid in Darayya. It borders a military airport used by Russian planes in support of the government of President Bashar al-Assad. It was one of the first towns to report demonstrations against the Assad regime, and has been under siege since late 2012. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported clashes this week between rebel groups and government fighters on the outskirts of Darayya. The UN believes there are more than 4.6m people living in hard-to-reach areas in Syria, including nearly 600,000 in besieged areas.

The US, UK and France have urged the UN to begin air drops of humanitarian aid to besieged areas in Syria.

Duffy is the only nominee from outside the Premiership, having led the Ton to the play-offs and the League Cup semis. Rodgers is targeting the domestic treble in his first season in Scotland. McInnes's Dons have reached two cup finals and are second in the league, while Thistle achieved a top-six spot. Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths praised Rodgers for his "exceptional" man-management skills, adding: "he's different to what I've had before. "He's very straight down the line. He tells you why you're not playing. His attention to detail in everything we do [was evident] from the first day he came in. "We have progressed as a team and grown in stature and we're showing everyone what we're all about now. The only way we're going to go is forward." Griffiths added: "If I had to choose one of the other three, I'd go for Alan Archibald. "His Thistle team came here a few weeks ago and played really well to get a point. With the chances they had, they could maybe have won the game. "With the budget they have and the way they are playing, they deserve to be in the top six." The winner will be announced at PFA Scotland's annual awards dinner in Glasgow on Sunday.

Scotland's managers have nominated Aberdeen's Derek McInnes, Brendan Rodgers of Celtic, Partick Thistle's Alan Archibald and Morton's Jim Duffy for the manager of the year award.

The local authority has awarded the sum to Hearthstone Investments, a London property fund which hopes to build 1,000 new homes across the country. The Falkirk Local Government Pension Scheme Fund contribution could pay for up to 300 new homes, including 126 in Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Social Justice secretary Alex Neil said the fund was "a trailblazer". Hearthstone aims to raise £150m for its Housing Fund For Scotland, including contributions from the country's 11 local government pension schemes. It plans to provide funds to local housing associations to invest directly in social housing, as well as buying affordable homes to be let at a mid-market rent. Edinburgh-based housing association Castle Rock Edinvar will manage the initial building programme for social rent houses. Mr Neil said: "The £30m Falkirk Local Government Pension Scheme fund investment will, I believe, act as a trailblazer and encourage other Scottish local authority pension fund trustees to take the plunge and invest in housing. "For an acceptable risk profile, investment will provide pension funds good, long-term returns for their members and a social investment to help build stronger communities."

Falkirk Council's pension fund has invested £30m in a scheme to build social housing in Scotland.

Redmond, an England Under-21 international, has agreed a five-year contract with the Saints. Norwich, who were relegated from the Premier League in May, signed the 22-year-old from Birmingham City for £3.2m in July 2013. "They like to play attacking football and it's a style I feel I can really fit in well with," Redmond said. "When Southampton said they were interested, it felt like the right move for me. I can develop my game here." Birmingham-born Redmond made 122 appearances and scored 13 goals during his three-year spell with Norwich. Redmond has played at every youth level for England, playing alongside Saints trio James Ward-Prowse, Jack Stephens and Matt Targett for England Under-21s at the Toulon Tournament earlier this summer. Southampton are without a manager following Dutchman Ronald Koeman's departure to Everton.

Southampton have signed Norwich City winger Nathan Redmond for undisclosed fee believed to be worth £10m.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said he would build on the support he received at rallies to reconnect the party to voters. He rejected criticism from those who say he is mistaking the enthusiasm of his backers for wider electoral appeal. Ex-leader Neil Kinnock said Labour appeared unelectable under Mr Corbyn and faced its "greatest crisis". Labour will announce whether Mr Corbyn or Owen Smith have won the leadership contest on 24 September. Ahead of the vote, Mr Smith accused Mr Corbyn of seeking to "deepen divisions" between the party's membership - seen as overwhelmingly in favour of the leader - and its MPs - who are largely opposed to him. But asked if he would quit as leader if he thought he could not take the party to power, Mr Corbyn told Today he was "determined" to lead it into the next general election and said it could win. Referring to the "diverse" crowds of tens of thousands of people who have attended his leadership rallies in recent weeks, Mr Corbyn said they showed "there is an interest in politics... that then becomes surely a very strong campaigning base for the Labour movement". He added: "I think you'll see it begin to play out, particularly in the local elections next year and after that." In June, 20 members of the shadow cabinet resigned, and one was sacked, over differences with Mr Corbyn. Five told the BBC on Sunday they would return if asked by Mr Corbyn should he be re-elected, while nine others said they would stand if shadow cabinet elections were revived. Mr Corbyn told Today he would "reach out to" Labour MPs who have opposed his leadership "as I've reached out to them in the past". He said: "I have made it my business to talk to quite a lot of Labour MPs and will continue to do so and I hope they will understand that we've been elected as Labour MPs... "It doesn't mean everybody agrees on everything all the time - that I understand - but the general direction of opposition to austerity, opposing the Tories on grammar schools, those are actually the kind of things that unite the party." On Tuesday, Labour's national executive committee meets and will consider a plan put forward by deputy leader Tom Watson to allow the parliamentary party - its MPs and peers currently serving in Westminster - to elect the shadow cabinet, as part of efforts to reunite the party as a whole. At the moment they are appointed by the leader. Newspaper reports suggested that, under the new plan, a third of Labour's top team could be elected by the parliamentary party, another third by the party membership, and the final third chosen by the leader. Mr Corbyn has not given his support to the proposal but has indicated he would back members having a say.

Jeremy Corbyn has said he will "reach out" to Labour MPs if he is re-elected as the party's leader this week.

The move is part of an acrimonious battle for control of the media empire that includes Paramount and MTV. Independent director Frederic Salerno has contested the move, and Mr Dauman remains chief executive. Mr Redstone's cinema chain, National Amusements, has filed with a Delaware court to approve the changes. The health of the 93-year-old Mr Redstone and his daughter Shari's influence over him have been questioned. Mr Salerno said he was filing a countersuit. In May, Mr Dauman and board member George Abrams were removed as directors of National Amusements. Mr Dauman then filed a lawsuit on behalf of himself and Mr Abrams against Shari Redstone, claiming she had manipulated her father to gain more control of the board. Ms Redstone said at the time that it was "absurd" to say she controlled her father.

Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone is seeking to remove the firm's chief executive Philippe Dauman and four other directors from the Viacom board.

Leading F1 commercial figure Zak Brown has been contacted by McLaren as the company seeks a replacement. Dennis has been told by the two parties that own 75% of McLaren Group that his contract will not be renewed for 2017. But Brown, a 44-year-old American, is also considered a potential chief commercial officer for F1's new owners. The US media group Liberty is in the process of buying a controlling interest in the sport's commercial arm from investment group CVC Capital Partners. The deal is expected to be completed early next year. Brown is of particular interest to McLaren because of his success in finding new sponsors for a number of teams on the grid in his former role as boss of the marketing agency JMI, from which he resigned in September. McLaren have not had a title sponsor since parting company with mobile phone company Vodafone at the end of 2013. Ironically, McLaren have had a major success in recent weeks in securing a new partnership deal for BP/Castrol to become their fuel and lubricant supplier. The deal has been signed but has not yet been announced. The company will replace Exxon Mobil, which has been poached by Red Bull for next season after 21 years with McLaren. That deal is expected to be announced imminently. The three names revealed by BBC Sport over the US Grand Prix weekend - ex-F1 team bosses Ross Brawn, Martin Whitmarsh and former Sainsbury's boss Justin King - remain of interest to McLaren and have been contacted by the team. But all three are now considered unlikely to take on the position. They may be unwilling to put themselves forward or it may be decided they are not the best person for the role. It is also possible Dennis, who is chairman and chief executive officer and has been in charge at McLaren for 35 years, would be replaced by two different people, as would be a more conventional company structure. Brown is friendly with all the main shareholders at McLaren, including Dennis. But BBC Sport understands that the Bahrainis and Ojjeh are now reaching out to him as they seek a new man to run the company. If McLaren can persuade him to take the role, it would be something of a coup for the team, since it has long been known that Brown has been favourite for the commercial head of F1 job at Liberty Media. Despite the ultimatum by his fellow shareholders, Dennis has been telling friends and confidants that he will decide when or if he will step down, not anyone else. But it is far from clear that he is in a position to make that decision. If his contract is not renewed, he would remain a 25% shareholder but would probably have no active role or power in running the company. Dennis will fight hard to retain his position as the head of McLaren, despite the fracturing of relationships between him on the one hand and Ojjeh and the Bahrainis on the other. He has run the company since 1981 and has become synonymous with McLaren, which he has built up into one of the sport's most successful teams, as well as launching a road-car company that sells high-end supercars. Dennis had been trying to find investment to enable him to buy a controlling shareholding in McLaren Group. He did have an agreement with Ojjeh and Mumtalakat that he could buy sufficient shares to take him over over 50% were he to find that investment. Dennis found two separate Chinese groups of investors. One was on the verge of completing a deal with Dennis before a weakening of the Chinese economy caused the arrangement to collapse. He then sourced a second group of Chinese investors and took them to Ojjeh and Mumtalkat, who refused to sell their shares because they did not want to grant Dennis so much power in the company.

A surprise new name has emerged as a potential successor to long-standing McLaren boss Ron Dennis, whose position as chairman is under threat.

Five Give Up the Booze, Five Go Gluten Free, Five Go On A Strategy Away Day and Five Go Parenting will catch up with the sleuthing children as adults. The series, written by Bruno Vincent, follows on from the success of the recent Ladybird book spoofs for adults. The original 21 books featured Julian, George, Dick, Anne and their dog Timmy. Their escapades, set during the '40s and '50s, saw the children having virtually adult-free outdoor holidays where they solved mysteries while drinking lashings of ginger beer. Famous titles include Five on a Treasure Island and Five Go to Smuggler's Top. A film parody, Five Go Mad in Dorset, was also made by the Comic Strip team for Channel 4 and featured Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French and Adrian Edmondson. They went on to make another film called Five Go Mad on Mescalin. The books have also been made into films, TV series and cartoons, as well as audiobooks, comics and video games. Publisher Quercus said the five's grown-up adventures will "remind older readers of the unbreakable bond" between the children and "introduce newer readers to the spiffing time you can have with a few friends and a dog". It added the series brings characters - who are "posher than us and holidayed more than us" into our "baffling adult world". Their adult adventures will involve trying to give up alcohol, finding themselves on a puzzling "strategy away day", hunting for a good gluten-free cream tea and, "most perilous of all", preparing for parenthood. Anne McNeil of Enid Blyton Entertainment added they were "thrilled" with the new books, adding: "We are certain Enid Blyton would have delighted in the gentle parody of her characters - characters which have helped to create a multi-million-selling global brand." The books will be released in hardback on 3 November. The Famous Five series is among some of Blyton's most famous books, which also include Noddy and The Faraway Tree. In all, she produced more than 700 books, writing one a week at the peak of her powers. The British writer, who was born in 1897 and died in 1968, has sold more than 600 million books in total, which have been translated into 90 languages. In 2008, a survey by the Costa Book Awards saw Blyton voted the "most-loved author", beating Roald Dahl, JK Rowling and Jane Austen. Michael Joseph's Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups series, which includes the Mid-Life Crisis and The Hipster, has sold 1.74 million copies grossing £10m to date, according to The Bookseller.

A spoof series of four books called Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups, which reimagines the Famous Five as adults, is to be published.

Mr Netanyahu's statements angered the White House, even though he has since tried to soften his remark. Tensions between the US and Israel have been growing as the leaders have wrangled over a number of issues. But Mr Obama described his relationship with Mr Netanyahu as "businesslike." "I've met with him more than any other world leader," the president said claiming their personal relationship was not a major factor in the dispute. "He is representing his country's interests the way he thinks he needs to, and I'm doing the same." "So the issue is not a matter of relations between leaders; the issue is a very clear, substantive challenge," he said. "This can't be reduced to a matter of somehow let's all hold hands and sing 'Kumbaya'." Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli officials denied reports that Israel was spying on the US-led talks. Mr Netanyahu has taken issue with the United States' role in the nuclear negotiations, which he claims would create security risks for Israel. At the same time, Mr Obama has denounced his counterpart's pre-election statements rejecting creation of a Palestinian state. Responding to reporters' questions on Tuesday during a news conference originally intended to brief the press on the situation in Afghanistan, President Obama refused to comment on the spy claims first reported in the Wall Street Journal. He did, however, offer assurances that Israel and other regional partners have been briefed on the negotiation's progress. Mr Obama also took to time to say that Mr Netanyahu's attempts to qualify his pre-election statements were not effective in advancing a two-state solution. "I think it's hard to envision how that happens based on the prime minister's statements," he said. "I've said before and I'll simply repeat: Prime Minister Netanyahu, in the election run-up, stated that a Palestinian state would not occur while he was prime minister. And I took him at his word that that's what he meant," the president said. In a US TV interview, Mr Netanyahu said he wanted a two-state solution, but said "circumstances have to change". Mr Obama acknowledged that Mr Netanyahu did not say a Palestinian state would "never" be created.

US President Barack Obama says prospects for a two-state solution in the Middle East are "dim" after the Israeli prime minister vowed to oppose a Palestinian state.

There has been damage to property but no injuries. Forecasters have indicated that it will be dry and bright for most of Scotland by Wednesday afternoon. Ferry services have been considerably disrupted and falling trees have caused some problems on roads and railways. Transport Minister Keith Brown chaired a meeting of the Scottish government's resilience team. Mr Brown said: "No-one is being complacent and whilst the weather alerts remain in place, the focused response will continue." A train travelling south from Aberdeen to Edinburgh suffered minor damage when it hit some fallen branches and a bus was hit in Aberdeen. In Edinburgh a tree landed on the side of a house in Redford Road. No-one was injured. High winds has also forced the closure of the Royal Botanic Garden in the capital. Aberdeen City Council said trees were down across the city, and the tree squad was working flat out. Huge quantities of foam blown in from the sea covered cars, buildings and a park beside Aberdeen beach at the Footdee area. Scottish Borders Council activated its emergency response team after warnings of extremely heavy rain, while Tayside Police warned of an increased risk of surface water on many routes and possible river flooding. Part of a building roof has come down blocking Bridge Street at Peterhead harbour and Grampian Police said minor roads across the region have been blocked by trees. High winds have seen restrictions on some of Scotland's bridges, while fallen trees are affecting some minor routes and ferry crossings. Historic Scotland has shut several of its sites across the country including: Fort George, Craigmillar Castle, Loch Leven castle, Inchcolm Abbey, Tantallon Castle, Seton Collegiate Church, Tolquhon Castle, Kisimul Castle, Spynie Palace, Elgin Cathedral and Inchmahone Priory. The National Trust for Scotland has closed: Brodie Castle, Newhailes, Pitmedden, Preston Mill, Fyffie castle, Haddo House, Castle Fraser, Leith Hall Gardens, Crathes Castle, Craigevar Castle, Drum Castle and Crarae Gardens.

Heavy rain and severe winds have caused power cuts and travel problems and swept sea foam into parts of Scotland.

Mitch Rose had put the Stags ahead just four minutes into the second half. Matt Green wriggled between Easah Suliman and Dan Parslow on the left before setting up Rose from 12 yards with a square pass that he stroked home low first time. That looked likely to be enough as home goalkeeper Scott Shearer had little to do until he picked O'Shaughnessy's stunner out of his net. A tight first half saw the game fail to catch alight. But the Robins wasted the best chance after 22 minutes as Billy Waters crossed from the right and picked out an unmarked Harry Pell six yards from goal. However, Shearer saved his defenders' blushes with a great save low to his left. Green almost broke through in the 32nd minute only to see Russell Griffiths get down well to his right to turn away his low drive from 20 yards after winning a tussle for the ball. Cheltenham striker Danny Wright missed a couple of chances to win it in stoppage time as Mansfield heads dropped. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Officials say 80 asylum applications will be accepted each day, and a maximum of 3,200 people will be allowed to travel through Austria. The measures will be introduced on Friday. The country has become a major transit route for migrants seeking to claim asylum in Germany. Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said Austria had no choice but to act, as there was no European solution yet in place for the current migrant crisis. "It is a matter of common sense to secure our borders as long as there is no European solution. I see it as our responsibility, to maintain security, order and the quality of life in Austria for our citizens," she said. "We cannot cope with the number of asylum applications that we had last year. That is why we impose limits on the stream of refugees. Another step is the introduction of daily quotas." Schengen: EU free movement deal explained Austria's Plan B to cap influx of refugees Migrant crisis in depth Austria took in about 90,000 asylum seekers in 2015, about 1% of its population, and officials expect to cut this number sharply this year, to about 37,500. Observers say the influx has contributed to the rising popularity of the far right in Austria, sparking tensions in the governing coalition. Neighbouring Slovenia and other countries in the Balkans - the main route for migrants bound for northern Europe - have also indicated that they will impose tougher measures against migrants. Some EU states have already re-imposed border controls on a temporary basis. The migrant flux is expected to intensify in coming months as weather conditions improve. The crisis will be high on the EU's agenda at a Brussels summit on Thursday, and countries are expected to debate the future of the Schengen Agreement that creates a 26-nation passport-free zone. Following the Austrian announcement, the Slovenian government said it had asked its parliament to approve the deployment of soldiers to its borders to help control the migrant flow.

Austria will impose a daily quota on asylum claims and limit the flux of migrants travelling through the country.

A consultation prompted 620 responses, with 98% saying owners should clean up after pets and 69% saying dogs should be excluded from play areas. But 70% did not want to see dogs excluded from beaches. The council's environmental and public protection scrutiny committee will consider proposals on Monday.

Plans that could see owners compelled to put their dogs on a lead and a ban on the animals in playgrounds will be discussed by Carmarthenshire council.

On a number of occasions concerns were raised about the little boy, who was only two-and-a-half-years old when he died. His nursery alerted social services, worried by a change in Liam, and the fact that he was losing weight and had a number of injuries. Liam's childminder had also made her concerns known. The High Court in Livingston heard from Patricia Smith, who used the same childminder. Ms Smith told the jury she phoned Fife Social Work department after meeting the Fees in the street. Liam was in his buggy but she told the court she didn't know if he was drugged or dead. A senior Fife social worker admitted in court that at one point Liam "fell off their radar." A member of staff had gone off sick, no-one else was assigned and Liam's case was not reviewed until further concerns were raised. It has already been announced that these and other issues will be addressed by a Significant Case Review (SCR). It will be chaired by Dr Jacqui Mok, a retired paediatrician and child protection specialist. She will review all records and interview staff involved in the circumstances leading up to Liam's death. Douglas Dunlop, vice-chair of Fife's Child Protection Committee, which represents the local authority, police, NHS, and the voluntary sector, said: "From that, we will have a picture of the involvement of all services with Liam prior to his death which will give us a picture of any lessons which can be learned." He added: "I know it was said in court that there was a break in contact from a specific team in relation to Liam and other services continued to be involved with him during that period. "That is the sort of issue that will be examined in some detail through the SCR." It will be the second SCR in Fife in two years after the murder of Mikaeel Kular, who was beaten to death in January 2014 by his mother, who was later jailed for culpable homicide. It also looked at the actions of Edinburgh council's social work department after Mikaeel's family moved there. A total of 13 actions for future learning and implementation were identified in the report, including a "national case transfer protocol for non-child protection cases across local authority areas". And there has been a series of previous tragic cases in which reviews have been carried out after a child was killed by those who should have protected them. They include: The Scottish Association of Social Workers (SASW) has admitted these cases are tragic, but its manager, Trisha Hall, said bureaucracy and resources were problems which must be addressed. She said: "I don't think there are enough children and family social workers. There is a real issue about under-staffing. "But the main issue that still impacts is that people still spend 80% of their time writing reports or doing paperwork and only 20% of actual social work time is spent in engaging with children and families." She said one of the reasons for the shortage of specialists was the traumatic work they carry out. "There is only so much you can take," she said. "Part of the concerns that we have currently in the UK is we're talking about eight years maximum in the life of a child protection social worker. "Many people leave the profession because they can't cope with this any more, because it is relentless." The challenge for those investigating Liam Fee's tragically short life is to ensure the lessons they uncover are learned. Because once more we are asking what more can be done to protect our children.

One of the questions raised by the case of Liam Fee - whose mother and her partner were convicted of his murder - has been "could anyone have saved him?"

Gareth Southgate's side went out in the group stage in the Czech Republic. "We made the decision and I back it," Ashworth told the BBC's senior football reporter Ian Dennis. "Youth teams are there to help develop players and give them experience to get into the seniors." Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling, Everton midfielder Ross Barkley, Arsenal midfielders Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere and Manchester United defender Phil Jones were among those eligible but not called up. Media playback is not supported on this device Ashworth added: "Those players are established internationals. It's like being a first-team player and asking them to come back and play in the U21s. It's not necessarily the right thing to do. "The players who hadn't competed in the two-year cycle and lead-up to the European Championship wouldn't be considered. "The debate will be reopened now but we stand by the decision Gareth and I made. You never know when you drop players into a new group whether it'll be the right thing to do." England, who had Premier League quality in Tottenham striker Harry Kane, Everton defender John Stones and new Liverpool forward Danny Ings, lost 1-0 to Portugal, beat Sweden by the same score but then lost 3-1 to Italy. Ashworth had a key role in the FA introducing proposals - the 'England DNA programme' - in December aimed at improving England's prospects at major tournaments. The plan is to co-ordinate the style, formation and tactics from the under-15 side upwards. And he believes improvements can be seen already. "I don't want to hide behind the fact we're devastated to have been eliminated in the group stages," Ashworth said. "We're disappointed with the group that we hoped and thought might go a bit further. But there are some success stories. "In order to win things at senior level, we need to develop players who can deal with the ball in all areas of the pitch. We have to prioritise that in the development teams. "They're young players and they'll make mistakes - it will cost us games. We have to accept that. We can't after six months say that's wrong, let's just crash it down the other end as quickly as we can. "We're starting to see a different kind of player come through the system now. Three years into EPPP [Elite Player Performance Plan] we're seeing players more capable with the ball. I believe it will stand us in good stead in years to come. Is it too soon now to see that? Yes, perhaps." Media playback is not supported on this device FA chairman Greg Dyke set a target in 2013 for England to win the World Cup by 2022 and Ashworth is adamant that this remains a realistic goal. "Yes I do believe that," he said. "I genuinely believe we have a lot of good young players in the system. We have the pathways getting better at clubs and international level. "We've introduced an Under-15s, 18s and 20s in the past 12 months because we recognise we need to give our players more big-game experience. "You've seen at this tournament we need players who are able to make decisions at the top level in the big games in order to win tournaments. But that takes time - it doesn't happen overnight. "We're all doing the right things but we need to sit tight and be a little patient and let it run its course. I'm convinced it will." Match of the Day pundit Gary Lineker criticised the "exasperatingly amateurish approach" not to select players such as Sterling, Wilshere and Barkley for the tournament. "We never learn. What a wasted opportunity to gather invaluable international experience," the former England captain added on his Twitter page. Former QPR midfielder Joey Barton, who won one cap for England, said the "culture is rotten" in English football, and criticised the power of the Premier League clubs. "There doesn't seem to be the pride there once was at representing England at any level or a major tournament," he told BBC 5 live. "We have a talent pool to match any nation. It's not the players or coaching staff. It's not one thing, it's an accumulation of many things. "The culture in English football isn't changing. No St George's Park, no massive spend, no changing coach will change it. The culture is rotten from top to bottom. The England national team will underperform at every single tournament for this reason. "The players think 'I'm too good for the under-21s, I've been in a senior squad - I don't want to go to a major tournament. I need to rest because I want to play in the Europa League or Champions League next year'. "Or 'hang on it's better for my career not to go to this tournament'. Or their managers are saying it. That's the problem with the Premier League being stronger than the FA. It's impossible for England to build good teams. "The FA should say to them if you don't make yourself eligible for the under-21s, then you won't be considered for the national team for however many years. "I feel for Dan Ashworth, I feel sorry for Gareth Southgate, I feel sorry for Roy Hodgson. What they are trying to do is so difficult until they get the Premier League back in line." Former England defender Danny Mills has been on an FA commission set up to assess potential improvements to English football. He said it could take a decade for major improvements to come to fruition, and also suggested English players earning too much is to blame. "We looked at this as a commission and decided things needed to change. Gareth has only been in the job two years. Things don't change overnight. Changing the way England play and players develop will take 10 years at least. That's what the Germans had to do before becoming very successful. "Do they get too much too soon? It's very difficult for the coaching staff. Raheem Sterling doesn't want to play for Liverpool - he certainly would have caused more problems for the under-21s than he would have done them good. "When me and Joey were coming through, playing for the under-21s and national team was massive kudos. "That doesn't happen now, they're given so much so early in club football that England Under-21s has become secondary. There isn't the same desire to play for them. Spain and Germany still have the desire to play for their Under-21s - they get paid an awful lot less than our players. "English players are paid too much and clubs put pressure on them not to go to the tournament - 'We want to save you for next season'. We have to change this culture. "I can't believe players even consider not playing for the under-21s. Those players like Barkley or Sterling could have called Gareth up and said 'I want to be in your side'."

England made the right decision to omit some of their Premier League players in the European Under-21 Championship, says Football Association director of elite development Dan Ashworth.

Magistrate Alicia G Rosenburg signed a seizure warrant for the "fingerprint on iPhone device" of Paytsar Bkhchadzhyan, of Los Angeles, on 25 February, while she was in police custody. It authorised officers to "depress" her fingerprints on the sensor. Campaigners say making suspects decrypt their phones means they are testifying against themselves, which contravenes the US constitution's fifth amendment. Apple's Touch ID system is one of two ways to unlock the encrypted contents of an iPhone - the other being to input the passcode. But the fingerprint can be used only within 48 hours of the phone being locked. It has been argued that while a passcode is "contents of the mind", and thus protected under the fifth amendment, a fingerprint is physical evidence, and can be treated like a blood sample or prints recovered from a crime scene. University of Dayton law professor Susan Brenner said smartphones contained a great deal of personal information and "a lot of that could be incriminating". "By showing you opened the phone, you showed that you have control over it," she said. "It is the same as if she went home and pulled out paper documents - she has produced it." If a person could not refuse to put their finger on a biometric reader to decrypt data for the government, "then encryption really isn't worth much", said Prof Brenner. "The result would be we would create content at our peril, as we would have no way to secure it from state investigators." Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, a man remains in jail for refusing to decrypt two hard drives investigators suspect contain indecent images of children. In that case, the Electronic Frontier Foundation campaign group said compelling suspects to decrypt data violated fifth amendment rights. "Complying with the order would communicate facts that are not foregone conclusions already known to the government," it said.

A US court has made a woman unlock her iPhone with her fingerprint.

All 10 had their passports confiscated after they were detained at Montreal's Trudeau International Airport at the weekend. Police said in a statement on Tuesday that none of the suspects had been charged, but investigations were ongoing. Their families have been informed. "These are very difficult times for the relatives and loved ones of the persons arrested, as the decision to leave the country was not that of the family, but of a single family member," the statement said. "As a result, family members often find themselves at a complete loss and unable to understand the decision made by the youth." Police said they could not disclose the identity of the suspects or provide information about what led to their arrests. Steven Blaney, Canada's public safety minister, commended the officers for their "continued vigilance" in protecting communities from "the ongoing global terror threat". Canadian troops are part of a multinational coalition to halt the advance of IS militants in Iraq and Syria. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced in March that he planned to expand the mission and has since pledged $139m (£89m) to help alleviate the growing humanitarian crisis in the region.

Ten youths have been arrested by Canadian police on suspicion of planning to travel to Iraq and Syria to join Islamic State.

The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, analysed data from 48 separate trials. The Canadian team concluded that sticking to a diet was more important than the diet itself. Obesity experts said all diets cut calories to a similar level, which may explain the results. Diets go in and out of fashion on a regular basis, with a current debate around the relative benefits of low carb and low fat diets. Scientists at McMaster University in Ontario and the Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute in Toronto analysed data from 7,286 overweight dieters. The range of diets covered included, Atkins, South Beach, Zone, Biggest Loser, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Volumetrics, Weight Watchers, Ornish and Rosemary Conley. It showed that after 12 months, people on low carbohydrate and low fat diets both lost an average of 7.3kg (16lb). Those on low carb meal plans had lost slightly more at the six-month marker. The report said: "The differences [between diets] were small and unlikely to be important to those seeking weight loss." It concluded: "Our findings should be reassuring to clinicians and the public that there is no need for a one-size-fits-­all approach to dieting because many different diets appear to offer considerable weight loss benefits. "Our findings suggest that patients may choose, among those associated with the largest weight loss, the diet that gives them the least challenges with adherence." However, the study did not look at wider health issues, such as levels of cholesterol, which may vary according to diet. Prof Susan Jebb, from the University of Oxford and a government advisor on obesity, said diets were more similar than they appeared, advocating cutting calories to 1,500 a day, sticking to strict meal times and avoiding biscuits, cakes and chocolate. "The issue is about adherence and it's how closely and how long can you keep sticking to the plan over time that matters. "That probably means finding the right diet for you, rather than one being so particularly better than the others." She said people should try to match diets to their lives. Vegetarians would struggle more with a high protein, low carb diet, while people living on their own may find liquid (instead of meals) diets easier than those who would still have to cook for a family.

All diets - from Atkins to Weight Watchers - have similar results and people should simply pick the one they find easiest, say researchers.

The Electoral Commission said 38 MPs had highlighted people, including students, claiming to have voted twice, which is a criminal offence. It said individual electoral registers run by councils should be better joined up to help identify duplicate entries. Labour warned against making it harder for young people to register to vote. A record number of 46.8 million people were registered to vote in the 8 June election, 500,000 higher than in 2015 and also more than the 46.4 million figure for the EU referendum. Of these, 68.7% actually voted on the day, the highest turnout figure for a general election since 1997. There was a surge in applications to register to the vote in the days after Theresa May called the snap poll on 18 April and also in the days leading up to the 22 May deadline. In total, 2.9 million applications were received over the six-week period. Several constituencies found that the size of their electorate rose by more than 10%, including seats with large student populations such as Canterbury, Cambridge, Bristol West and Leeds Central. However, concerns over the number of duplicate applications - a problem which initially surfaced after last year's EU referendum - continue to persist. At the moment, there is no direct link between electoral registers, which are held and managed by electoral registration officials around Britain, and the online registration service now used by a majority of people. The two systems use different databases and cannot communicate directly with each other. Between 1 December 2016 and the 22 May deadline, about 4.9 million applications to vote were submitted, the majority of them done online. But the net increase in the number of entries on the electoral register during that period was only 1.4 million, suggesting "a significant proportion of applications are likely to have been duplicates". With no way of people checking online whether they are already registered, the proportion of duplicate applications is estimated to have ranged between 30% and 70% in different areas. The watchdog said this had caused significant administration and financial burdens for electoral officials and should be addressed by clearer information on registration sites, including potentially a verification function which it said was used in Australia, New Zealand and the Republic of Ireland. Despite efforts to flag up to people that they did not need to register if they had been sent a poll card or had voted in May's local council elections, the watchdog said it appeared to have made little difference and urgent action was now needed. "The relative ease of submitting an application to register to vote using the online service, in comparison to the difficult of contacting a local authority electoral services team by telephone or email to check if they were already registered, meant many people simply submitted another application," the report said. Although there was a lack of evidence to back up claims on social media that some people had voted twice, the watchdog said it took the issue very seriously and anyone with information should contact the police. It stressed that although some people - including students and those with second homes - may lawfully be able to register in more than one constituency and cast more than one vote in local elections, voting twice in a general election was an offence punishable by an unlimited fine. The "dispersed and unconnected" nature of the 381 electoral registers in Britain means it is not possible to collectively cross-check entries, the watchdog said, and being able to do so would significantly reduce the risk of double voting. It is also calling for people who are registered in two seats to choose in advance which one they will vote in at future general elections. Labour's shadow minister for voter engagement, Cat Smith, said voting twice was a serious offence and police needed to have the resources to prosecute people suspected of doing so. But she warned against a knee-jerk reaction, given the rise in registration and turnout, particularly among younger voters. "A blanket ban on being registered at two addresses would exclude those who for reasons of work or study need to be registered in two places," she said. "This cannot be an attempt to make it harder for young people and students to register to vote."

Reports of people voting more than once in June's election are "troubling" but there is little evidence of widespread abuse, the elections watchdog has said.

However, the resolution is non-binding, with Nigeria and Senegal opposing a withdrawal. South Africa and Burundi have already decided to withdraw, accusing the ICC of undermining their sovereignty and unfairly targeting Africans. The ICC denies the allegation, insisting it is pursuing justice for victims of war crimes in Africa. The AU took the decision on Tuesday following a divisive debate at its annual heads of state of summit in Addis Ababa. Part of the resolution also said the AU would hold talks with the UN Security Council to push for the ICC to be reformed. After being discussed in several previous summits, this was a huge announcement showing how frustrated the AU was with the international court. But the debate itself showed how divisive the whole issue is. The resolution isn't as strong as many who are opposed to the court would have liked. It only calls on countries to consider how to implement the decision but does not bind them to it. It's a victory for human rights activists who insist the court still has a very important role to play in the continent where many countries have weak judicial systems. The resolution also calls for African countries to continue pushing for reforms of the court - another clear indication that ditching the court en masse isn't such a popular decision. The likes of South Africa and Kenya, which have pushed for withdrawing, will be disappointed that the discussions about completely severing ties with the ICC will have to wait another six months for the next summit. Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir, who is wanted by the court on charges of genocide in Darfur, was at the summit. In 2015, a South African court criticised President Jacob Zuma's government for failing to arrest Mr Bashir when he attended an AU meeting in the main city, Johannesburg. The government later announced that it was withdrawing from the ICC because it did not want to execute arrest warrants which would lead to "regime change". A total of 34 African states are signatories to the Rome Statute, which set up the ICC. The ICC and global justice: What does the ICC do?

The African Union has called for the mass withdrawal of member states from the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The former Celtic defender has left his role as a youth coach at Everton to take the job. He replaces Terry Butcher, who was sacked following Hibs' relegation from the Premiership last season. "To be given this opportunity with Hibernian is a great privilege and a real honour - it is a massive club with huge potential," said the 42-year-old. Stubbs has been appointed on a two-year contract and will be hoping to lead the Easter Road side back to the top flight at the first attempt, with Edinburgh rivals Hearts and Rangers also in the second tier next term. A decision has yet to be made on his assistant. "I'm excited about the future here at Hibernian and what we can all achieve together at the club - this is the start of the journey," he added. "The Scottish Championship will be a tough division, but I'm confident that if we approach the challenge with enthusiasm, optimism and belief then we can achieve success. He is a driven, intelligent and strong-minded character, who has a very clear vision about what he wants to achieve in football "I've been at Everton for almost six years and now I believe I'm ready to take on the role of head coach here at Hibernian." Hibs chief executive Leeann Dempster revealed her delight at the appointment, insisting the Englishman shares her vision for the club. "There were strong candidates who applied for the position but after much consideration, Alan emerged as the standout choice," she said. "It's important that the CEO and head coach are very much on the same page and that they forge a close working and trusting partnership. I spoke with Alan and it became apparent early in the discussions that we had a common goal. "He is a driven, intelligent and strong-minded character, who has a very clear vision about what he wants to achieve in football - producing positive results, playing attractive football and developing young players. "All those attributes fitted the criteria we required and we're confident Alan is the right man to unite the club and bring success to Hibernian. "Alan will be our head coach and that is part of the new structure in place at the football club; a continental-style model designed for continued long-term success."

Alan Stubbs has been named the new head coach of Scottish Championship side Hibernian.

They say Argenis Hernandez was shot in the stomach on Friday in the city of Valencia and later died in hospital. Also on Friday, bus driver Wilfredo Rey died after being shot by a group of hooded gunmen in San Cristobal. At least 33 people have now been killed during weeks of protests over the high inflation and basic good shortages. Meanwhile, supporters and opponents of the president staged rival rallies in the capital Caracas on Saturday. This comes a day after riot police in the city clashed with anti-government demonstrators who were protesting against the arrest of two opposition mayors. The mayors were detained over their alleged role in the unrest. The opposition says the government is violently repressing the protests and trying to silence the administration's critics. President Maduro has blamed the violence on "fascist groups", accusing them of planning a coup against his government. He says he has repeatedly invited them to the presidential palace for talks, but that they have refused to attend. Opposition leader Henrique Capriles said he accepted the invitation but is yet to meet Mr Maduro.

Two people have died from gunshot wounds during protests against President Nicolas Maduro's government, eyewitnesses and local media say.

Such investments should be registered in the same way as securities sales, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It follows a rise in the number of Initial Coin Offerings, or ICOs, through which crypto-currency start-ups have sought quick financial backing. However, there are concerns that ICOs are creating an investment bubble. More than $1bn has been raised so far this year in such transactions but there are questions over how investors are to be protected should a venture backed with digital coins fail. Now the SEC has said that issuers of "distributed ledger or blockchain technology-based securities" must register offers and sales. "The innovative technology behind these virtual transactions does not exempt securities offerings and trading platforms from the regulatory framework designed to protect investors and the integrity of the markets," said Stephanie Avakian, the SEC enforcement division's co-director. It was sometimes difficult to see how a firm had justified a large evaluation for its ICO, said Eitan Jankelewitz, a technology specialist and partner at law firm Sheridans. "If you consider the size of the investment compared to the type of investment that a professional would make, they look disproportionally large," he told the BBC. He also pointed out that regulators don't need to rely on legislation specifically dealing with crypto-currencies to enforce rules on securities and investments. "Those sorts of regulations tend to be more principles-based," he explained. "If a new technology comes along that allows a new activity to be undertaken, then the law would still apply." The SEC made its comments on ICOs in a report on a crypto-currency investment fund known as the DAO. Digital coins worth $60m ($41m) at the time were stolen after the DAO was hacked last year. While the SEC has not decided to make civil charges as a result of its investigation into what happened, it is using the case to caution industry and the market.

A US regulator has said firms looking for backing via crypto-currencies should be more strictly regulated.

The move will see the supermarket open Giraffe branches near to Tesco stores as it seeks to create "retail destinations" for customers. Tesco will hope that the acquisition will help revitalise its UK business. Over the past year, the group has been revamping its UK stores. In January, it reported its strongest growth in UK Christmas sales for three years, but said there was "a lot more to do". Tesco pointed to Giraffe's popularity with a wide range of ages, particularly families, as part of its appeal. "We think our customers will love it," said group commercial director Kevin Grace. The supermarket recently bought a 49% stake in Harris and Hoole coffee shops, a move which drew criticism from some shoppers who felt they had been duped into believing it was an independent business. It has also invested in the Euphorium Bakery chain. "I think it's a very significant move," Neil Saunders, managing director of Conlumino told BBC News. "Traditional retailing is seeing much more sluggish growth and one of the things that all retailers have got to do is look to wider areas of spending including leisure and dining out. "[This] exposes Tesco to much more lucrative growth." Analysts also suggested that the move could help Tesco solve a crucial problem: what to do with the retail space that was once devoted to things like CDs and movies. Tesco can "implant Giraffe restaurants into its larger stores where it has an excess of retail space," said UBS food retail analyst Mike Tattersall. Giraffe founders Russel and Juliette Joffe and Andrew Jacobs will remain in place on the management team, with Russel Joffe continuing as managing director. "This move will allow us to introduce Giraffe to a wider audience, presents great opportunities for growth and for the team to be involved in an exciting stage in our brand's development," said Mr Joffe. Private equity firms 3i and Risk Capital Partners have sold their stakes in the business.

Supermarket group Tesco has bought the restaurant chain Giraffe for £48.6m.

It is believed to have been spotted by a member of the public at about 09:30 on Saturday. Searches of the river have been carried out since 41-year-old Bryan Cowie was seen in the water near Dumfries town centre on Sunday. The recovery operation was carried out with the assistance of members of Nith Inshore Rescue. A police spokesman said: "We received a report of a male's body lying within the River Nith near to Kingholm Quay, Dumfries about 9.30am this morning. "With the assistance of Nith Inshore Rescue the body has been recovered and conveyed to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary. "No further details can be released at this time." A spokesman at Belfast Coastguards added: "We were asked to help assist police with the rescue of the body. "We have no information about his identity et this time."

Police have recovered a body from the River Nith at Kingholm Quay, two miles south of Dumfries.

But what really strikes you, especially in those initial developmental stages, is how familiar the forms look. How like an early human foetus, they appear. "This is something you see time and time again in vertebrates, not just with mammals," says Richard Sabin, the Natural History Museum's top whale expert. "You see these similarities in the early developmental stages and it's really not until you're halfway through the gestation - which for a humpback whale is around 11 months - that you start to see the things that make that foetus characteristically the species that it is." Richard has a remarkable sequence of seven humpback foetuses that he's going to put on display for the NHM's major summer exhibition on cetaceans. They go from what is essentially just a ball of cells that's perhaps only a few weeks old, all the way through to a specimen that appears to be a perfect humpback in miniature. This larger foetus, about half a metre in length, is probably seven to eight months into the gestation period. It has everything you would expect to see in a humpback, including those long, tell-tale pectoral flippers with their nobbly tubercles. The specimens were collected at the beginning of the 20th Century by scientists who had been sent to the Antarctic to gather data on the activities of the whaling fleets. Their role was to understand the biology, the movements, and the ecology of whales - to appreciate the status of stocks so that the commercial returns could be maximised. It's an awkward feeling knowing that these foetuses were taken from harpooned pregnant humpbacks. Somehow you have to console yourself with the recognition that the acquired data was ultimately what shut down that bloody industry. "There is a story with every specimen and it may not be a very comfortable story, but it is something we have to acknowledge," says Richard. "The thing to remember is that the data we get from these specimens we actively use for marine conservation purposes now." Just this past week, a Swiss-led team used old whaling data to show how species had shrunk in size in the 40 years prior to the stocks collapsing. This trend signal, the team said, could be used to warn of imminent disaster in other hunted wildlife groups. What have we learned from foetuses, specifically? A lot it seems about evolutionary biology. "One thing we see in these humpbacks is the development of tooth buds at around four-to-five months into gestation. They're then reabsorbed to allow the baleen to start to develop," explains Richard. The baleen are the keratin plates that hang from the upper-jaw and filter the humpbacks' prey. "So, we know from the study of these foetuses, from an evolutionary developmental perspective, that there was a time when all cetaceans were toothed and that baleen are a relatively recent development. And we've only just found the fossils that back that up." The whales exhibition is due to open on 14 July, the day after the NHM re-opens its front entrance. The Hintze Hall has been remodelled. Its emblematic diplodocus ("Dippy") dinosaur is being replaced by a blue whale skeleton that will hang from the ceiling (Plot spoiler: I've had a sneak peek already and it looks spectacular). So, it's certainly a timely moment to highlight the contribution of cetaceans to life on Earth. More than 100 specimens from the London museum's collections are being set up in the institution's Waterhouse Gallery. The exhibition will impress upon visitors the huge diversity of whales, dolphins and porpoises. It will explain their relatively short evolutionary journey, from being land animals 50 million years ago to becoming the well-adapted ocean-dwellers we know today. And it will describe how they move, how they breathe, and how some echolocate to find their prey. It still astounds me that whales can communicate over many hundreds of kilometres. "We want people to realise that as well as being mammals like us, they also have complex culture like us," says Richard. "This is a very new area of study that has accelerated in just the past 10 years through observations, through genetic information and the data coming from museum specimens."

It's a curious thing to see a group of early whale foetuses up close - to see beings so small that have the potential to become so big.

Anna Egginton-Murray, who quit Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust in September, said there was nobody with the expertise to treat serious cases in the prisons she worked in. She knew about 100 inmates with major problems who were "put on a list" of prisoners with "unmet needs". The trust denied the list's existence and said severe cases were treated. The Ministry of Justice declined to comment when contacted by the BBC saying this was not within its area of responsibility. "It felt dangerous," said Ms Egginton-Murray, adding: "It felt unethical and it felt very sad." Her claims were backed in written statements to BBC Inside Out North West from other staff who worked at the trust. Cognitive behavioural therapist Ms Egginton-Murray treated prisoners with less serious conditions at Liverpool Prison and HMP Kennet, a prison for Category C inmates near Maghull. She said there was nobody with the experience or expertise to deal with inmates when it became apparent they needed more specialised treatment. Ms Egginton-Murray would discover a prisoner's deeper problems during her consultations and felt frustrated because there was nowhere she could refer them. One inmate had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to a childhood trauma and there was nothing she could do for him, she said. She added: "There was a list of prisoners that were listed as 'unmet need' because there was no service there to meet their needs." Ms Egginton-Murray, who left her post after 11 months, claimed there were almost 100 prisoners on that list, adding that her job "became very burdensome... very difficult." "When you know there is nothing more you can do and you are faced with someone who is desperate for help and they're asking for help, it leaves you in a very difficult position." The Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust said: "Prisoners with more severe mental health needs would not be put on a waiting list unless they are waiting for a secure in-patient bed outside of the prison. "In the meantime their needs are managed within the prison." Draft guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) state that people in prison "have the same rights of access to health care as the general population", but that "there is clear evidence that this is not the case".

Dozens of prison inmates with serious mental health problems are left untreated, a whistleblower has said.

Amber Rudd told the BBC the manifesto was "not going to be identical to the last one" and said things had changed since 2015 because of Brexit. The target, set by David Cameron in 2010, has never been met and recent figures put net migration at 273,000. The PM indicated in April that she would stick with the aim. Speaking on a campaign visit last month, Theresa May, who was Ms Rudd's predecessor as home secretary, told the BBC: "We want to see sustainable net migration in this country." "I believe that sustainable net migration is in the tens of thousands." Questions had been raised about whether the commitment would feature in the Conservative manifesto after Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said that immigration was "not about putting numbers on it" but about ensuring Britain had the skilled workers it needed. Asked whether she agreed with her colleague, Ms Rudd told BBC Radio 5live's Pienaar's Politics: "It's too early to say. I appreciate you want to push me on this but we are going to have to wait until the manifesto comes out." Pressed on the issue again, she added: "That's why we're having a new manifesto. It's not going to be identical to the last one. "We're setting it out for hopefully for a five year term, we've got a lot to think through to work out what's the best way to deliver on our priorities." She added: "My personal view is, we need to continue to bring immigration down. I want to make sure that we do it in a way that supports businesses, you know we're ending freedom of movement when we leaving the European Union. "So the situation from that time the [2015] manifesto... has changed because we're leaving the European Union, so it's right that we look at it again." Ms Rudd also played down the potential impact of excluding students from net migration figures, saying: "It's a complete red herring to talk about taking students out of those numbers and it making a big impact." This was because, in theory, roughly the same numbers of students should be leaving the UK at the end of their courses as are arriving each year. Official figures out last month show EU migrants make up more than one in 10 manufacturing sector workers in the UK. The government has promised new migration controls after the UK leaves the EU, when freedom of movement rules will no longer apply, but it has yet to set out the precise model it will adopt. Labour says it accepts that the principle of the free movement of people - which EU leaders say goes hand-in-hand with single market membership - would have to end after Brexit. But shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has said new immigration controls should not be the "overarching priority" as the UK leaves. UKIP has said that Mrs May's failure to reduce net migration to less than 100,000 while she was home secretary suggests that she could yet "back slide" on delivering Brexit.

The home secretary has refused to say whether the Conservative manifesto will repeat their 2015 pledge to cut net migration to the "tens of thousands".

The film's trailer attracted more "dislikes" than any trailer ever on YouTube, which suggested a concerted campaign by some fans of the original. The Guardian is one of the papers that gives the film four stars: "Call off the trolls - Paul Feig's female reboot is a blast," it said. "Fun oozes from almost every frame," Nigel M Smith said. "Most crucially, the mean-spirited reception to the film before anyone had seen it does not seem to have put a dampener on the movie itself." Robbie Collin in The Telegraph said: "The 2016 vintage of Ghostbusters speaks to its time with the same withering comic accuracy and hot-air-balloon-sized sense of fun as the 1984 original." The New York Times' Manohla Dargis said: "the new, cheerfully silly Ghostbusters is that rarest of big-studio offerings — a movie that is a lot of enjoyable, disposable fun. "Girls rule, women are funny, get over it." Empire magazine has given the film three stars. Jonathan Pile said: "an effectively spooky opening gives way to a film that's fun, funny and full of energy. It's almost as if it never mattered that the four main characters were women. Strange that." While Screen International's critic Tim Grierson said the remake was "a consistently funny pleasure". "Never quite as sharp or inspired as the 1984 original, but radiating such good cheer that comparisons between the two films don't much matter." But not all reviews were positive. Vanity Fair critic Richard Lawson was one of those not so impressed. He called it "a flat, occasionally charming disappointment". "It spends so much time doing battle with its legacy that it forgets to be its own movie, putting a talented cast to waste and marking another disappointment in this dreadful summer movie season." Chief film critic Peter Debruge with Variety agreed - he said the film spent "far too much energy channelling the original to establish its own identity." Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney said: "The unfunny mess that hits theatres Friday, like a big goopy splat of ectoplasm, will no doubt make those naysayers feel vindicated. "But the fact is that an oestrogen-infused makeover, particularly one with such a comedically gifted cast, was a promising idea. Sadly, that's where the inventiveness ended." The film, which stars Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig, had its world premiere in Los Angeles on 9 July. Speaking at the premiere Ghostbusters director Paul Feig said he understood fans were "nervous" about the film. "I understand people are very passionate about this movie ... I get it. People are nervous. If I wasn't doing the movie, I would have been nervous. "All I can say is we came to it with such a purity of spirit and so desperate to give a new audience what we all felt 32 years ago when we first saw it in a theatre." Jamie East, film editor for The Sun, was one critic who received tweets questioning whether he had been paid for his review. He tweeted: "Ignore the haters - #Ghostbusters is really, really good." Helen O'Hara, who reviewed the film for GQ, was also questioned by fans online about her positive review. "Ghostbusters is a very, very funny and occasionally scary movie, which features jokes aimed squarely at the misogynistic commenters who risked RSI attacking it for its female-led cast," she said.

In July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces killed more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims who were meant to be under UN protection.

The powerful storm swept across the Pacific islands on Saturday leaving thousands of people homeless. Eleven people are known to have died. Planes have taken food, water and medical supplies to one of the worst-hit islands, Tanna island. But charities say much more aid will be needed in the weeks to come. People there are still in desperate need of shelter and water. Advice if you're upset by the news United Nations worker Joe Lowry, who is on Tanna, told the BBC: "We know what the needs are now on six of the islands and... everywhere else and those needs are definitively shelter and more shelter. "Where I was today they are pretty much out of fresh drinking water. "Food is in very short supply and lots of the food stocks that were there have been damaged. The food that was growing above ground was all swept away." Aid workers reached Tanna for the first time on Tuesday and reported 80% of homes or buildings had been partially or completely destroyed. "There's a landscape of skeleton trees and patchworks of square outlines where houses used to be," said Angus Hohenboken from aid group Oxfam. He added that the fierce winds had uprooted water tanks and blown them miles away. Crops were demolished and electricity was out. Baldwin Lonsdale, Vanuatu's president, returned to his country on Tuesday night. He'd been in Japan attending a UN conference when the cyclone hit. "I trust the people of Vanuatu. I trust my government. I trust the people that they will stand united together as a nation and to rebuild the nation," he said.

Emergency aid is beginning to reach some of the worst-hit islands of Vanuatu, helping people there after a cyclone destroyed whole villages.

A woman in her 20s was pushed to the ground and assaulted by a man on a bike on Boundary Road near Bournemouth University's Talbot campus on Thursday. Dorset Police said they believe it could be linked to two attempted sexual assaults on women in September. Thursday's attacker is described as white and in his late 20s or early 30s. Officers said he was approximately 5ft 7in (1.7m), of slight to medium build with short dark hair and wearing a black thigh-length coat and dark trousers. The victim was walking down a footpath at about 21:40 GMT when the cyclist approached and then assaulted her. The attacker was riding a dark-coloured mountain bike with silver handle bars and rode off towards Columbia Road after the assault. Det Ch Insp Sarah Derbyshire said it could be linked to the attempted assaults of women on 13 and 14 September at Boundary Road and Slades Farm. She is appealing for witnesses.

A sex attack on woman near a university campus could be linked to two other attempted assaults, investigators have said.

A JCB spokesperson confirmed that the company had ended its membership of the CBI, but did not give reasons why. Sky news had earlier reported that it was due to the group's response to the referendum outcome JCB's chairman, Lord Bamford, was a prominent supporter of the Brexit campaign. During the campaign he said: "The UK is the world's fifth largest trading nation. We therefore have little to fear from leaving the EU." He also wrote to his 6,500 UK employees to explain why he favoured a vote to leave the European Union, saying he was "very confident that we can stand on our own two feet". The CBI, on the other hand, warned that a UK exit from the EU would cause a "serious economic shock", potentially costing the country £100bn and nearly one million jobs. A CBI spokesman said: "It's always a shame to see any member leave the CBI, but we recognise that businesses have competing priorities and we respect that." A spokesperson for JCB said only: "I can confirm that JCB is ending its membership of the CBI." The Sky report said that the Staffordshire-based company had ended the membership in the summer, after the referendum.

The construction firm JCB has left the business lobby group, the CBI, reportedly because of its anti-Brexit stance.
