People will be able to subscribe to popular channels such as Discovery and Eurosport individually, without paying for a bundle of channels. Until now, Prime Video has offered only on-demand films and TV shows in the UK. But one analyst said the launch line-up of channels was "not immediately desirable" and would struggle to attract satellite TV customers. "Amazon launched a similar thing in the US, and the big selling point was that you could get HBO and Showtime programmes, all under one umbrella," said Tom Harrington, an analyst at Enders. "That's not going to happen here. Sky have HBO and Showtime locked down, at least for now, and will hold on to them aggressively. "When you look at what's available in the UK, it does lack the wow factor." Discovery Communications is providing the best-known pay-TV channels to the service, offering Eurosport for £6.99 a month and Discovery Channel for £4.99 a month. Viewers must also pay for an Amazon Prime membership at £79 a year. ITV will offer an ad-free version of its streaming service and access to its free channels - such ITV 2 and ITV Be - for a monthly fee of £3.99. "This is a starting point," said Alex Green, managing director of Amazon Video. "We're offering linear TV channels where it makes sense. We have a good spread of big partners and I'm sure that will only grow." As well as the traditional television channels, viewers will be able to pay for curated "channels" of programmes to stream on-demand, such as the Yoga Anytime Channel, and Horse & Country Play, which is billed as the "home of equestrianism". "The core of the experience on Prime Video is on-demand streaming, and that will still be the core of the experience," said Mr Green. Mr Harrington said it would be difficult for streaming services to offer traditional television services at a competitive price. "In the US, YouTube, Amazon, Apple and Facebook have been vocal about getting TV bundles together, but YouTube is the only one to have done it so far," he told the BBC. "It's very hard to build from all these different suppliers and put these channels together at a price that is compatible to a cable offering." Mr Green said Amazon wanted to offer customers more flexibility, by letting them subscribe to individual channels. "Often people say they are subscribed to a big TV package but don't watch a lot of the channels," he told the BBC. "Now people can try it out, pick and choose, and cancel at any time."
Amazon has announced it will offer live television channels via its Prime Video service, for an extra fee.

Judge Thokozile Masipa ruled in December that prosecutors could appeal against the acquittal. She had sentenced Pistorius to five years in prison for the lesser charge of culpable homicide, or manslaughter. Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February 2013. He said he mistook her for a burglar, while prosecutors argued that he shot her after a row at his upmarket home in the capital, Pretoria. The double amputee athlete was acquitted by Judge Masipa of both premeditated murder and the lesser murder charge of dolus eventualis, also known as common-law murder. In South African law, this charge applies if the accused knew they might kill someone but still went ahead with their course of action. Prosecutors argued that Judge Masipa misinterpreted the law when she cleared Pistorius of murder on the basis that he did not intentionally shoot Ms Steenkamp. Giving them permission to appeal in December, she said: "I cannot say... that the prospect of success at the Supreme Court of Appeal is remote." The BBC's Milton Nkosi in Johannesburg says that defence lawyers are now challenging the judge's decision, and do not want the culpable homicide verdict to be overturned. On 13 March they will appear before Judge Masipa and intend to cite previous cases to back their argument that the appeal should not be allowed. Pistorius was one of South Africa's most celebrated sportsmen until his arrest. He made history by becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics in London in 2012.
Lawyers for jailed South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius have launched a legal bid to prevent prosecutors from appealing against his acquittal on murder charges.

He was chairman for 16 years, during which time the club enjoyed an 11-year stint in the Premier League and two Uefa Cup campaigns. "This is a very sad day for everyone," said Brett Warburton, vice-chairman of the Championship club. "Phil has been a personal friend for more than 30 years. We send our deepest condolences to all Phil's family." In November, Gartside handed responsibility for Bolton's takeover negotiations to football finance executive Trevor Birch. Birch has been trying to to find a buyer as owner Eddie Davies wants to sell, with the club £172.9m in debt. Former Bolton player and assistant manager Phil Brown recalled Gartside taking part in a training session, with a suit on, before the Sherpa Van Trophy final in 1989. "He just wanted to be part and parcel of a successful club, a successful team," Brown, now Southend manager, told BBC Radio 5 live. "To go from that to become chairman of the club in 1999 and obviously the most successful period the club has ever had, culminating in two great years in Europe... it was just fantastic for Phil and his family. Today is a very, very sad day for the club." Former Trotters captain Kevin Davies, who retired last year, said Gartside was "really ambitious" for the club. He said: "Everyone enjoyed the journey. To be around, he was kind and looked to put his arm around the players." Davies said people may have differing opinion about Gartside's legacy but said he and former manager Sam Allardyce had certainly changed "the direction the club was going in". BBC Sport's Simon Stone: Born in Leigh, Gartside was at the helm for one of the most amazing periods in Bolton's long and colourful history. With Eddie Davies providing the funds and Allardyce the managerial expertise, Gartside helped take Bolton into the Premier League in 2001, to the League Cup final in 2004 and Europe twice in three seasons after that. A sixth-place finish in 2004-05 - with a squad that included Jay-Jay Okocha, Ivan Campo and Fernando Hierro - was an incredible effort for a club that could not rely on crowds of 25,000 even when things were going that well. Allardyce's resignation in 2007 proved to be the beginning of the end of the good times for Bolton. Though they retained top-flight status for another four seasons, reaching the FA Cup semi-finals in 2011, they never finished in the top half again. By 2012, they had gone down, relegated at the end of a desperate season. Allardyce's replacement, Sammy Lee, lasted 14 games. Gary Megson and Owen Coyle could not halt the slide. Dougie Freedman could not secure a play-off berth in Bolton's first season as a Championship club and was replaced by Neil Lennon in October 2014. Despite Davies agreeing to write off the club's debts as he looks for a way out, Bolton's financial situation has been described by Birch as "critical". That is the legacy Gartside has left. Sadly for him, it will be some time before Bolton fans can look past the current mess and remember the glorious nights against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid that he helped create. Had Gartside got his way, British football could have looked very different. He was a Premier League representative on the Football Association executive board in 2009, when he put forward a proposal for Celtic and Rangers to be allowed to join the English league. The plan was to form a 'Premier League Two' as a buffer for clubs - such as Bolton - who were unable to retain their top-flight status. It was never formally discussed because of opposition from Uefa and many other Premier League clubs.
Bolton Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside has died aged 63 following a battle with cancer.

Instead, it was her namesake, Irish politician Joan Collins, who was arrested at a protest against new water meters in Dublin yesterday. The former Dynasty star tweeted: 'No I am not the Joan Collins Who was a rested (sic) yesterday At a Dublin protest meeting !!! The very idea !!" United Left TD Ms Collins said she was taking part in a "peaceful protest". She later tweeted that she should not be confused with the British screen icon. "For the record I'm not @JoanCollinsOBE as I'd never take an honour from a monarch nor did I wear shoulder pads in the 80s. The very idea!" Veteran actress Joan, 81, was made a dame in the Queen's New Year's honours list last year. She is famous for her roles in films like The Stud and The Bitch, and more recently starred in the TV series The Royals. She was previously a patron of UKIP, but said that does not mean she would vote for them, and has declared herself an admirer of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Irish parliamentarian Ms Collins sits on the opposite end of the political spectrum. She was among 13 people arrested at the demonstration, which was part of continuing protests against the introduction of water charges in Ireland.
Actress Joan Collins has taken to Twitter to deny that she was arrested in the Republic of Ireland.

The Belfast mother-of-10 was taken by the IRA from her flat in December 1972. Ivor Bell, 77, who was a senior leader in the Provisional IRA in the 1970s, was arrested at his home in Andersonstown on Tuesday. He has been charged with aiding and abetting murder and membership of the IRA. He is expected to appear in court on Saturday. Ivor Bell was part of an IRA delegation that held secret talks with the British government in London in 1972. Among the delegation were Sinn Féin's Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. Jean McConville, 37, became known as one of the Disappeared. She was kidnapped in front of her children and accused of having been an informer. That claim was later dismissed following an official investigation. She was held at one or more houses before being shot. Her body was recovered on a beach in County Louth in August 2003. The Disappeared are those who were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republicans during the Troubles. The IRA admitted in 1999 that it murdered and buried at secret locations nine of the Disappeared. The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains was established in 1999 by a treaty between the British and Irish governments. It lists 16 people as "disappeared". Despite extensive searches, the remains of seven of them have not been found.

Officials have confirmed that of the 184 inmates that escaped, 70 have been captured, leaving 114 still at large. Among those on the run is Brayan Bremer, who posted pictures of himself on the run on social media. About 100 federal officers have been sent to Amazonas to boost the search. Amazonas governor Jose Melo requested the help of the federal government on Sunday, saying Amazonas were "at their physical and psychological limit". The prisoners escaped from the Anisio Jobim jail in Manaus and the neighbouring Antonio Trindad prison as a deadly riot was under way in the former. Brazil prison riots: What's the cause? The director of the Anisio Jobim jail, Jose Carvalho da Silva, has since been suspended over allegations he took money from the Familia do Norte gang in exchange for turning a blind eye to drugs and weapons beings smuggled into the jail. Investigators say the Familia do Norte instigated the riot and specifically targeted members of rival gang First Capital Command (PCC). Mr Silva is also accused of allowing inmates to flee the prison in exchange for money. He had been put in charge of the jail on 28 December in an interim capacity, after serving as deputy head. Two inmates made the allegations against him in separate letters sent to the authorities three weeks before the riot. In the letters, the inmates say that Mr Silva had threatened to move them from a secure area of the jail into a "general population" area, even though they had received death threats and a judge had ordered they be kept separate from the general prison population. The two were among the 56 inmates killed during the riot on 1 January.

The app samples wireless signals to see if data is flowing uninterrupted from routers to phones and tablets. The app is released alongside research which suggests wi-fi in six million homes and offices is not running as fast as it could do. The app also provides tips to help people spot what might be slowing down their wi-fi speed. Interference could come from other electronic devices such as baby monitors, microwaves or Christmas fairy lights, said Ofcom in a statement. Statistics about home wi-fi speeds are in Ofcom's 2015 Connected Nations report that looks at the state of telecoms and wireless networks in the UK. The report said there had been "good progress" on the availability and use of telecoms services. About 27% of UK homes now have super-fast broadband that runs at speeds in excess of 30 Megabits per second (Mbps). Last year the figure was 21%. Super-fast broadband is now available to more than 83% of UK homes - up from 75% in the same period in 2014. The research also found that those with the higher speed connections to the net are doing more with them. People with faster connections were now making significant use of catch-up TV services, online film rental services and video calls, it said. Much of the UK's appetite for data was being driven by households that have the super-fast services, said Ofcom. However, despite the growing use of high-speed broadband it also acknowledged there was "still more to do". The research found that 2.4 million UK homes, about 8%, cannot get speeds of 10Mbps or more. Many of these homes were in rural areas. It also said broadband speeds needed to increase for those on the move and said small businesses were being particularly poorly served when it came to access to services of 10Mbps or more. About half of all small or medium-sized firms based in business parks do not have access to net links of such speeds.

Ministers will talk to councils before deciding how many can be resettled. The UK currently takes children from refugee camps in Syria and its neighbours but there has been pressure to take some who are already in the EU. Labour said the announcement, made at Prime Minister's Questions, did not go far enough and more action was needed. The government agreed in January to take some lone child refugees directly from North Africa and Middle East - but rejected calls to accept 3,000 children who had made it to Europe because it did not want to encourage others to make the "lethal" journey. Now, in a change of heart, children registered in Greece, Italy or France before 20 March - when the EU struck its refugee deal with Turkey - will be eligible for resettlement in the UK. The government said the retrospective nature of the scheme would avoid creating a "perverse incentive" for families to entrust their children to people traffickers. It would mean the UK can focus on the "most vulnerable children already in Europe without encouraging more to make the journey", Downing Street said. Mr Cameron, who has been facing the threat of a Conservative backbench rebellion in a vote next week over the issue, said he had accepted a revised amendment to the Immigration Bill put forward by Labour peer Lord Dubs. He told MPs: "I am also talking to Save the Children to see what we can do more, particularly about children who came here before the EU-Turkey deal was signed. "What I don't want us to do is to take steps that will encourage people to make this dangerous journey because otherwise our actions, however well-meaning they will be, could result in more people dying than more people getting a good life." Ministers get irritated when critics suggest the government's not done enough to help Syrian refugees. They point to the thousands already promised help through resettlement programmes and billions of pounds of aid from the UK. But a majority of MPs demanded more action to help unaccompanied children. David Cameron has always insisted that nothing must be done to encourage refugees to make the dangerous journey to Europe so now ministers have found a compromise. It's a political solution to avoid a defeat in the Commons but Tory MPs and several charities have called it "tremendous". The implementation of the programme now depends on local authorities who have to make sure they have the funding, school places and social service support that many of these traumatised children will require. Downing Street hasn't put a figure on how many might be helped, but the expectation is that it will be thousands and Conservative MPs have promised to keep up the campaigning. There does remain some concern though, that what's been announced won't help the most vulnerable, who might not have registered and who've disappeared from the system altogether. The SNP's leader at Westminster, Angus Robertson, who pressed Mr Cameron on the issue, said he welcomed what he said appeared to be the "beginning of a U-turn". Mr Cameron has been under pressure to accept 3,000 child refugees who have made it into Europe unaccompanied. But the government says the number will depend on what councils can cope with. Funding will be made available from central government for those councils willing to take in unaccompanied child migrants, said a source. Immigration minister James Brokenshire told a meeting of Conservative MPs he was going to write to all local councils and ask them to gauge capacity - but warn them they should expect at least as many unaccompanied children as the UK took last year. Local authorities will be expected to share responsibility because some had been overburdened, he told the MPs. The Local Government Association said councils were ready to "play their part" but wanted more clarity on long-term funding and how the national dispersal mechanism will work. Save the Children said Mr Cameron had "offered a lifeline to these vulnerable children," adding: "This announcement echoes Britain's proud history of offering safety at times of great crisis and we want to thank the members of parliament who have led the way in championing this cause, as well as the British public who have opened their hearts to refugee children." Conservative MP Heidi Allen - who had said she was prepared to vote against the government and support an amendment calling on the government to accept more unaccompanied children - described the announcement as "tremendous news". But a spokesman for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Mr Cameron had not gone far enough - and they wanted to see "greater action and more generosity". Labour MP Yvette Coooper, who chairs the party's refugee taskforce, said more detail was needed about what Mr Cameron is planning. "He was wrong to claim last week that child refugees alone in Europe don't need help, so I hope he will be clear about that now and set out what the government will do next," she said. In a letter to David Cameron, Sir Erich Reich, chairman of Kindertransport-Association of Jewish Refugees, had called on the PM to do more to help "the most vulnerable victims" of the Syrian conflict. He said it was "incumbent on us to provide sanctuary to those in need". Mr Cameron rejected comparisons with the "Kindertransport" scheme that helped Jewish children escape from the Nazis, at Prime Minister's Questions. "To say that the Kindertransport is taking today children from France or Germany or Italy, safe countries that are democracies, I think that is an insult to those countries," he told MPs. But he added: "We're going to go round the local authorities and see what more we can do, but let's stick to the principle we should not be taking in new arrivals to Europe." In September 2015 the government said the UK would accept up to 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years. And last month the government said it would accept up to 3,000 more refugees, mostly vulnerable children, from the Middle East and North Africa by 2020. In his letter, Sir Erich, who was among thousands of Jewish children rescued from Nazi Germany, said he had learned of the rejection of the resettlement proposal "with great sadness". He added: "I strongly urge you and your colleagues to reconsider how we can intervene to help some of the most vulnerable victims of an internecine conflict that has claimed the lives of thousands of people and displaced millions. "The echoes of the past haunt many of my fellow Kinder and I whose fate similarly rested with members of the British parliament. "I feel it is incumbent on us to once again demonstrate our compassion and human-kindness to provide sanctuary to those in need."
David Cameron says the UK will take in more unaccompanied Syrian refugee children from Europe, although it has not committed to a specific figure.

Roger Hamer, died from head injuries, a month after the accident on Bury New Road, Ramsbottom, in March 2016. The Rochdale Coroner's Court jury's narrative verdict found "inconsistencies" in the way Bury Council dealt with some road repairs. Lessons had been learned and the road would be resurfaced, the council said. Catherine James, of solicitors Irwin Mitchell, said legal action had started by Mr Hamer's family against the council. Mr Hamer's daughter Ruth Topping said: "I hope the authorities will learn lessons as I do not want my father to have died in vain. "I do not want any other family to suffer like we have suffered or like my father suffered - he had an horrific death." The jury found that hitting a pothole had probably contributed to Mr Hamer, from Ramsbottom, coming off his bike on a road which had several defects. Its narrative verdict said Bury Council had "followed repair guidelines" but found there had been inconsistencies in the way it dealt with some repairs. The authority said it had learned lessons and was improving its training. It added that Bury New Road would be fully resurfaced by next March.

The US Geological Survey said the quake struck at 08:23 GMT, 420km (260 miles) north-west of the capital, Port Vila. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said the threat of tsunami waves had now mostly passed. The USGS said the quake was fairly shallow - at a depth of about 35km (21 miles) - but no damage had been reported so far. The quake, originally measured at 7.2, struck in the north of Vanuatu off Espiritu Santo. Quakes are fairly common in the region. Two similar sized tremors last October and December caused no damage. Vanuatu has a population of about 270,000, with some 44,000 living in Port Vila.

The top seed was hampered by an ankle knock at the start of the second set but fought back from 5-3 behind to win in straight sets. Murray, 27, only hit 14 winners to his opponent's 25, but made 17 unforced errors compared to Pospisil's 26. The Scot now faces eighth seed Gilles Simon of France in the quarter-finals. The first set went with serve until the eighth game when Murray took advantage of some tame Pospisil serves to break and then he held comfortably to take the first set in 36 minutes. The world number four then landed awkwardly on his left ankle in the first game of the second set but, despite hobbling and in pain, he took control after breaking Pospisil with a great return down the line to move 3-2 up. However, the Scot, who beat Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 6-3 6-2 in the first round, then lost his way and was broken back immediately thanks to the Canadian's best return of the match. Pospisil went in front on his own serve before the world number 59 claimed the vital break to move 5-3 up as Murray picked up a code violation for smashing his racquet. The Scot showed his mettle to immediately break back and then levelled at 5-5. Murray then won a hard-fought 11th game of the set after several deuces before serving out to win the match. He now faces Gilles Simon, who progressed thanks to a routine 6-4 6-3 win over Jeremy Chardy.

If confirmed by the Senate, James Comey will replace outgoing director Robert Mueller III, serving for 10 years. At the White House, Mr Obama praised Mr Comey as a model of "fierce independence and deep integrity". Mr Comey is known for successfully opposing a warrantless wiretapping programme backed by other Bush aides. Mr Mueller took up his post shortly before the 9/11 attacks and is retiring as director on 4 September. In remarks on Friday, Mr Obama said the outgoing director had displayed "a steady hand and strong leadership" during his time at the head of the FBI. The US president said Mr Comey had "law enforcement in his blood". "As a young prosecutor in the US attorney's office in Manhattan he helped bring down the Gambino crime family; as a federal prosecutor in Virginia he led an aggressive effort to combat gun violence that reduced homicide rates and saved lives," Mr Obama said. He also joked that Mr Comey - who is 6ft, 8in tall (2.03m) - was "a man who stands up very tall for justice and the rule of law". The nominee said he could not describe his excitement to work again with the FBI. "They are men and women who have devoted their lives to serving and protecting others and I simply can't wait to be their colleague," he said. One of the most dramatic episodes of Mr Comey's tenure as deputy attorney general in the Bush administration came in 2004, when then-Attorney General John Ashcroft was ill in hospital. Mr Bush's White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and Chief of Staff Andrew Card pressed him in his hospital bed to re-authorise a controversial programme allowing federal agents to eavesdrop on phone conversations without a warrant. Mr Comey, who was acting as attorney general in Mr Ashcroft's stead, rushed to the hospital and intervened. Changes were subsequently made to the programme and Mr Comey drew wide praise. Mr Obama alluded to the incident on Friday, saying Mr Comey "was prepared to give up a job he loved rather than be part of something he felt was fundamentally wrong". After leaving the Bush administration, Mr Comey was general counsel for Bridgewater Associates, a hedge fund in the US state of Connecticut. He now lectures at Columbia University law school in New York. Before he became deputy attorney general, Mr Comey had a long tenure at the justice department, serving in many posts including as US attorney for the Southern District of New York.
US President Barack Obama has nominated a former justice department official under President George W Bush as the next FBI director.

Mr Haldane, added that any rate rise would "increase unnecessarily the chances of the economy falling below critical velocity". He is considered to be the most cautious policy-maker when it comes to raising interest rates. Interest rates have been at 0.5% since 2009 and the financial crisis. The first increase is now expected in late 2016. Forecasts were put back after the Bank of England's last inflation report in which the Bank said the outlook for global growth had weakened. In a speech to trade union body the TUC, Mr Haldane also indicated that the next rate move could equally be a cut rather than a rise. "Now more than ever in the UK, policy needs to be poised to move off either foot depending on which way the data break," he said in his speech. Mr Haldane said that because wage growth could be weaker than currently expected, inflation may undershoot the Bank's November predictions, when it estimated that inflation would rise above its 2% target in two years. The Consumer Price Index currently stands at 0.1%. "Against that backdrop, my view is that the case for raising interest rates is still some way from being made," Mr Haldane said. "Whatever the reason, the economic aircraft appears to be losing speed on the runway. That is an awkward, indeed risky, time to be contemplating take-off. "Meanwhile, inflationary trends do not at present give me sufficient confidence that inflation will be back at target, even two years hence." Mr Haldane also had strong words on the UK's increasingly expensive housing market. "The UK housing market is broken," he told the TUC meeting. "There is a chronic and accumulated imbalance between demand and supply, and it is that which is sending skyward - and has sent skyward - house prices."
The Bank of England's chief economist, Andy Haldane, has warned that the UK's "economic aircraft appears to be losing speed on the runway".

The company blamed the "market decline in Eastern Europe" for offsetting strength in Asian markets. Carlsberg shares are down more than 9% in Copenhagen. Ukrainian sales fell by an estimated 17% "as a result of the deteriorating economic climate as well as significant price increases" applied to keep up with high inflation, the company said. "For the full year, we therefore do not expect that the strong Asian performance will be enough to offset the weaker than expected results in Western Europe and the challenging market conditions in Eastern Europe," said chief executive Cees 't Hart. Bad weather also hurt the brewer's bottom line in Western Europe. The company also reported adjusted net profit fell 23% to 1.73bn Danish kroner (£163m) in the first half of the year. Mr 't Hart joined the company in mid-June. "While I'm delighted with the enthusiasm and commitment of our employees, I also recognise that we must step up further to achieve the full potential of the group," he said. "To do so, we have initiated a process of revising the group's strategy to re-establish and further strengthen our financial flexibility." Carlsberg's brands include Kronenbourg 1664, Holsten Pilsner and of course, Carlsberg. Earlier this month, Carlsberg's rival, Heineken, reported better than expected first-half results.
Shares of Danish brewer Carlsberg are falling sharply, after the company lowered its annual profit forecast.

Glen Johnson said he was stepping down from Cadwgan Building Preservation Trust (CBPT) due to the harassment from a small number of unnamed people. He said some had taken exception to the way the castle project was being run. It reopened in April. The trust, made up of 250 people, secured revamp funds, with more than £6m from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Volunteers raised more than £200,000 to save the 900-year-old site. Mr Johnson said: "The main reason for my resignation is to protect my family from the virtual persecution currently being dealt out by a small number of individuals who have taken exception to the castle and its trustees because the project is not precisely as they would like it." He will continue to work as a volunteer with the group. CBPT chairwoman Jann Tucker said: "Glen's remarkable knowledge of the castle and the history of Cardigan has played a huge part in making the site what it is today and we are pleased that he will continue to support us in the capacity of a volunteer - a role he first took up 30 years ago."

In particular, she likes fancy china and plates, and is happy to show off her latest purchase. She ordered a platter online, and took it out of the bubble wrap excitedly. She bought that item, and some more china, toiletries and a bike, on a cashback website so she is expecting about £14 to be paid back to her. But Ms Sen might have to be patient. It will take up to four months for her to be paid. Cashback sites are a simple idea. Instead of going directly to a shop, you access a retailer's online store through a link from a cashback website. You still receive your item directly from the retailer, but you also get some money from the cashback website. It is often a percentage of the total price you paid. The sites have links to retailers of everything from groceries and toiletries, to insurance policies and broadband deals. But Ms Sen has not actually had any money back yet. "I thought it was going to be as easy as one-two-three, just make the purchase to the website and get the cash back the next day," she said. "But that didn't happen. It's been well over a month and I'm still waiting for it." Ms Sen thinks the website is not clear enough about how long that wait will be. "I have no idea how long it's going to take me to get the cash back," she said. She went through one of the biggest cashback sites, Quidco. It says it has more than 2 million members in the UK, and that the average user can make £262 a year. That is small change for its more committed users. Quidco says more than a hundred of them have made over £10,000. But, like all cashback websites, its customers can face long waits for their money to start coming in. Andy Oldham is the company's managing director and said every attempt is made to be clear and transparent. "That's the whole ethos of the site," he said. "On every single merchant page, we've got statistics that show the time it takes for those transactions to be paid out." For example, with the bike Ms Sen bought, the information about the length of time is displayed underneath the deal. We pointed this out to Ms Sen, who said she had never noticed the warning before. She thinks that four months is too long to wait for her money. "It's right down the bottom of the page," she said. "Look how light the shade of the font is. It's just not prominent enough. They need to make it clearer," she added. Despite all this, she says she will carry on using cashback websites. "My attitude is, it's better than getting no money back at all," she said. Quidco's Andy Oldham said he would take Ms Sen's feedback on board. He admitted there was "quite possibly" an argument for rethinking how this information is shown on the website. Mr Oldham maintains that it is impossible to give an average waiting time, because it depends on different retailers and products. So, if you are buying something like food, that will be consumed quickly, you should be paid relatively quickly. On the other hand, if you book a holiday six months in advance, you will not be paid until after you come home. Mr Oldham says it was important that customers realised that cashback arrangements do not pay out immediately. "We're very much dependent on the retailer paying us the advertising commission before we pay it back to the consumer," he pointed out. Another site, TopCashBack, says it works hard to manage consumers' expectations about how long it takes to get their money. But on average, those customers may have to wait 12 weeks for their money to clear into their accounts. There are other things to be aware of if you sign up to a cashback website. Some, like Quidco, charge an annual fee while others take a cut out of your commission. Personal finance expert Sarah Pennells, from the website Savvywoman, says there are dozens of sites to pick from, so it is important to shop around to find the best one for you. "The first thing is to look at how much cash you're going to get back on the various deals and secondly, look at how they're going to pay you," she said. "Some pay by cheque, others by bank transfer, some ask you to set up a PayPal account. "The last thing, and possibly most important thing, is don't just focus on the cashback deal. It's got to be the right deal or buy in the first place," she added.

Leg-spinner Mason Crane, called into the England Test squad earlier in the day, took 3-21 as the hosts restricted Glamorgan to 118-6 on a slow pitch. Captain James Vince (60 not out) saw Hampshire home with six overs to spare. Meanwhile, Middlesex prevailed in a tight finish at Lord's as Sussex, who needed five runs from the last over for victory, could only manage two. Middlesex posted 147-6 thanks to Stevie Eskinazi's 57 not out from 44 balls and Paul Stirling's 40 from 31, as England seamer Chris Jordan (2-29) impressed. Sussex began their chase well thanks to Chris Nash (64), but only he and Stiaan van Zyl (34) reached double figures as they slumped from 125-4 in the 17th over to 140-7 - with eight runs needed from the final nine balls of the innings. That meant a nervy last over, bowled by seamer Tom Helm - but he began with two dot balls, had Jofra Archer caught off the third, and David Wiese could only manage a two off the fifth ball as Helm held his nerve and Middlesex sneaked home by two runs. It leaves both South Group sides in mid-table on 10 points from 11 games. Meanwhile, Hampshire's spin-heavy tactics were clear from the start with Crane, fellow leg-spinner Shahid Afridi and slow left-armer Liam Dawson taking a combined 6-52 from their 12 overs of spin. Dawson - left out of the Test squad in favour of Crane - took the new ball and made an immediate impact, bowling Aneurin Donald with the third ball of the match. Glamorgan's top order could not get going and only a stand of 53 in the final 6.3 overs between Andrew Salter (37 not out) and Graham Wagg (15 not out) gave them any respectability. But despite losing debutant wicketkeeper Calvin Dickinson in the first over, Hampshire always looked in control of an easy run chase. Vince's unbeaten 60 came off just 41 balls and featured 10 fours, while he was ably assisted by Tom Alsop (28 from 19) and George Bailey (25 not out). It helped Hampshire move to within a point of Glamorgan at the top with two games left. Gloucestershire who have a game in hand, and Somerset occupy the other quarter-final berths, two points ahead of Sussex, Middlesex and Surrey. Who will qualify from the T20 Blast South Group?

The UNHCR said forced returns had "continued unabated" despite an agreement earlier this month. Under the deal, any returns would be voluntary and only "when conditions were conducive". Cameroon has rejected the accusation and said people returned willingly. According to the UNHCR, more than 2,600 refugees have been forcibly returned to Nigeria from Cameroon this year. Many are unable to go back to their villages in Borno state for security reasons and have ended up in camps for displaced people. In some cases, the UNHCR said, people had been returned "without allowing them time to collect their belongings". UNHCR spokesman Babar Baloch spoke of "chaos" in the returns process and said "some women were forced to leave their young children behind in Cameroon, including a child less than three years old". Many of the returnees are now settled in the Banki camp for internally displaced people. UNHCR staff also recorded about 17 people who claimed to be Cameroonian nationals, who it said had been deported by mistake to Banki. It is common in the region to find people who have no documentary proof of their nationality. Cameroonian Communications Minister Issa Tchiroma told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme: "I strongly deny this accusation" of forced returns. He said the Cameroonian army had been working "hand-in-hand" with the Nigerian army against Boko Haram and any civilians who had returned to Nigeria had done so of their own accord. "This repatriation has taken place willingly," he said. The Cameroonian authorities have previously said Boko Haram militants have been entering the country disguised as refugees. Militants have carried out a number of attacks in northern Cameroon in recent years, often using suicide bombers. The UNHCR said forced return constitutes a serious violation of the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1969 OAU Convention, both of which Cameroon has ratified. It called on Cameroon to honour its obligations under the conventions and continue keeping its borders open so as to allow access to territory and asylum procedures for people fleeing the Islamist insurgency.
The UN refugee agency has criticised Cameroon for the forced return of hundreds of refugees to north-east Nigeria after they had fled from the Islamist Boko Haram insurgency.

The 12-nation trade deal was a linchpin of former President Barack Obama's Asia policy. "Great thing for the American worker what we just did," said Mr Trump as he dumped the pact with a stroke of a pen. He also cut funding for international groups that provide abortions, and froze hiring of some federal workers. Mr Trump's executive order on TPP was largely symbolic since the deal has not been ratified by a divided US Congress. During his presidential campaign, he criticised the accord as a "potential disaster for our country", arguing it harmed US manufacturing. On Monday evening, his pick to be secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations committee, and now requires confirmation from the full Senate. The Trump administration's first weekday began with a flurry of executive orders, which allow the president to bypass Congress by issuing legally binding directions, mostly of limited scope, to federal agencies. Mr Trump also signed an order blocking foreign aid or federal funding for any nongovernmental organisation that provides abortions abroad. The so-called Mexico City policy was first established by Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1984. It is typically rescinded by incoming Democratic presidents, including Barack Obama in 2009, and reinstated by Republican presidents. Mr Trump also signed an executive action placing a hiring freeze on non-military federal workers. After meeting business leaders earlier at the White House, Mr Trump pledged to lower corporate taxes to 15% or 20%, from the current 35%, and slash regulations by up to 75% if they keep jobs in the US. Mr Trump - whose protectionist rhetoric sent the US dollar falling - also met labour leaders later on Monday. Some of the measures he announced on Monday fulfil "Day One" pledges he made as a candidate in a speech in Gettysburg in October. But perhaps inevitably, some of the promises he made on that day and at rallies during his campaign have not been kept, although he may get to them in the coming days and weeks. The Trump administration has planned for a busy few weeks, according to the White House press secretary. Sean Spicer said the president's nominee for Supreme Court Justice would come within the next couple of weeks. And in his first proper White House press briefing, he said the US would block China from taking over contested islands in international waters in the South China Sea. "I think the US is going to make sure that we protect our interests there," he said. "It's a question of - if those islands are in fact in international waters and not part of China proper, then yeah, we're going to make sure that we defend international territories from being taken over by one country." The start of the Trump administration has looked less like a well-planned parade and more like the running of the bulls in Pamplona. But is there order behind this chaos? The president and his press secretary spent the weekend blasting the press and its coverage of the inauguration - and that rolling feud unsurprisingly dominated headlines. Behind the scenes, however, Republicans in the executive branch and Congress are getting down to the business of advancing their political agenda. The president issued executive orders on trade and abortion on Monday. Congressional committees will soon begin hammering out tax and healthcare legislation. The bumpy start to Mr Trump's presidency has some questioning whether the president is squandering his power, which traditionally is at its height in the first few months of a presidential term. Power, however, is what you make of it - and the real test of Mr Trump's strength won't be in the tut-tutting of newspaper editorial pages over tweets and ad-libbed speeches, it will be policies enacted and legislation signed. While it's easy to dismiss Mr Trump's moves as missteps, if conservatives continue to charge through the chaos, they may learn to love their new president's unconventional style. The US Senate was also expected vote on Mr Trump's nomination of Mike Pompeo to be CIA director. Rex Tillerson's nomination as secretary of state was effectively guaranteed on Monday as Senator Marco Rubio dropped his objections. Meanwhile, Mr Spicer said it was "unquestionable" that Mr Trump's inauguration "was the most watched" ever. Although Ronald Reagan's was top in terms of television figures, attracting 41.8 million viewers, Mr Spicer pointed out that the 30.6 million who tuned in to see Mr Trump take the oath of office did not include the millions who watched the ceremony online. His remarks followed Mr Trump's stinging attack at the weekend on media reporting of attendance figures and the weather at his inauguration.
President Donald Trump has fulfilled a campaign pledge by signing an executive order to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Sinn Féin, the UUP, Alliance and the SDLP will hold separate meetings with Theresa May in the afternoon. She has already held talks with the DUP this week about a deal to support her minority Conservative government. DUP sources have told the BBC an announcement on a deal with Tories had been delayed because of the unfolding tragedy of the Grenfell Tower blaze. Meanwhile, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has demanded details of any Conservative-DUP deal, calling it a "nonsense situation". "We want to know what is in the deal they are offering to the DUP and we want to know when it is going to be put before Parliament," he said. Labour has confirmed that Owen Smith will be its new shadow secretary of state for Northern Ireland. In a tweet on Wednesday evening Mr Smith said he was "honoured" to take on the role. If a deal was to be delayed it would mean the Queen's Speech, which had originally been planned for next Monday, could be put back for at least a week. It could also delay the start of Brexit talks. The Conservatives are having to rely on the support of 10 DUP MPs after they fell eight seats short of winning an overall majority at the general election. It means that Mrs May will remain as prime minister and the DUP MPs will be central to the survival of a Conservative Party administration. Ahead of her meeting in London Sinn Féin's leader at Stormont, Michelle O'Neill, said a DUP-Tory deal would not be allowed to undermine the peace process. The MLA, who will also meet new Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in Dublin on Friday, said it was imperative both governments recommitted to the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement if there was to be any prospect of re-establishing Northern Ireland's Executive. The delegation of Sinn Féin - whose seven MPs refuse to take their seats at Westminster - is expected to include Mrs O'Neill, party president Gerry Adams and Mary Lou McDonald, the party's deputy leader and a member of the Irish parliament. Secretary of State for Northern Ireland James Brokenshire has warned there was "very little time left" to restore a power-sharing executive at Stormont before a 29 June deadline. "Northern Ireland's political leaders now have it in their hands to take control and shape a brighter future for everyone in Northern Ireland," he said. The DUP have been playing their cards close to their chest, but we know the areas they're talking about because of a DUP plan drawn up in 2015 in anticipation of a hung Parliament. Things have moved on a bit since then with Brexit, but we do know they're looking at trying to lower the cost to the Northern Ireland Executive of any move on corporation tax. They've been of the view that leaving the EU should lessen some of the stipulations in relation to state aid that were being applied by the Treasury to Northern Ireland, and that might take down the bill that the Treasury would put on the executive if corporation tax was lowered. We know other matters, such as cutting air passenger duty and increased infrastructure spending, have been discussed, but we haven't got any sense of the exact details of the deal. I suspect it will be top loaded with economic rather than political matters. Some political issues, such as altering the definition of a Troubles victim or doing away with allowances for MPs who don't take up their seats, might be included. Other legacy matters, such as protecting former soldiers or police officers from prosecution, may feature at a later stage. The DUP has indicated its potential role at Westminster does not change its desire to restore power-sharing, and that it remains ready to form an executive without preconditions. But the other Stormont parties have warned that any deal between the DUP and Conservatives could make restoring power sharing more difficult. There would be very serious consequences if there was any suggestion of a back-room deal with the DUP, said SDLP leader Colum Eastwood. "We will be asking the prime minister to be open with politicians and also with the public," he said. "Any deal struck must not hinder cross-community confidence in our politics. "We are steadfast in our commitment to devolution and are ready to work with all willing partners to restore the devolved institutions in the interests of all our people." Devolved government in Northern Ireland broke down in January. The late deputy first minister, Martin McGuinness, stood down to protest the DUP's handling of an energy scandal, in a move that triggered a snap election. The DUP and Conservatives were close to reaching agreement to enable Theresa May to form a minority government and the talks were not in trouble, according to DUP sources. But they added that the London tower block fire made an announcement on Wednesday "inappropriate". The DUP source told BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith the two parties were now finalising the "terms and conditions" of an agreement after Mrs May and DUP leader Arlene Foster met on Tuesday. Downing Street sources told our correspondent talk of a delay in announcing a deal was "not coming from us."
Northern Ireland's main parties are expected to hold talks with the prime minister in Downing Street on Thursday.

A 15-year-old boy told the BBC he survived by drinking water from wet clothes and eating clarified butter. Elsewhere, a woman was pulled from a collapsed block where she had been trapped alongside three bodies. Meanwhile, bad weather is hampering the delivery of relief to remote villages, a Nepali government spokesman said. The government has been criticised for its response to the disaster. Outside Kathmandu, the relief effort has relied heavily on helicopters, with mountain roads blocked by landslides triggered by the earthquake. Laxmi Dhakal, a spokesperson for Nepal's home ministry, told the BBC that helicopters had been held back by "rainfall and cloudy conditions". In Kathmandu, rescue workers from Nepal and the US worked for hours to free the boy from the rubble of the building. A huge crowd cheered as Pemba Lama emerged, blinking into the sunlight. He was carried away with a brace strapped around his neck, and was taken to an Israeli-run field hospital. He later told the BBC: "There were so many people around me in the rubble. They were screaming." The woman, called Krishna and in her 20s, was working as a maid in a Kathmandu hostel when the quake struck. The BBC's Clive Myrie, who was at the scene, says rescue teams from five different countries dug through the rubble for four hours to reach the woman who was awake but in a weak condition. They attached a saline drip to her arm to rehydrate her, and a dead body had to be removed before she could be brought out. In all, the rescue took more than eight hours. On Wednesday night, Nepalese soldiers in the town of Bhaktapur, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, reportedly rescued an 11-year-old girl from earthquake rubble. The girl was freed from a damaged building in the town's Dattatreya Square, according to a tweet from Kunda Dixit, the editor of the Nepali Times newspaper. Meanwhile, medics say many who survived Saturday's 7.8-magnitude quake are now falling ill because they have been living in the open and drinking contaminated water. Binay Pandey, a doctor at Kathmandu's Bir Hospital, said at least 1,200 people with water-borne illnesses had been admitted since Wednesday morning. Climbing is expected to resume next week on Mount Everest, where avalanches triggered by the earthquake killed 18 people. Damaged ladders in an area of the mountain known as the Khumbu icefall would be repaired within the next few days, according to the chief of Nepal's tourism department, Tulsi Gautam. Frustration has been growing in parts of rural Nepal over the pace of relief efforts, with some badly-affected villages yet to receive any assistance. Late on Thursday the government said the death toll had risen to 6,130 with 13,827 injured. The UN says more than eight million people have been affected and about 70,000 houses destroyed. Dozens of countries are supporting the aid operation, contributing search-and-rescue teams, aircraft, medical supplies and communications equipment. How long can people survive under rubble? Satellite reveals quake movement Nepal quake special report Nepal's forgotten village Despite extensive damage, experts say the number of casualties in many villages was lower than feared because people were working outdoors when the quake struck. In Kathmandu, riot police clashed on Wednesday with protesters angry at a lack of transport out of the city and delays in distributing aid. However, there have been some signs that parts of the capital are returning to normal. Some people have decided to return to their homes, having spent several nights out in the open. Cash machines have been refilled and some shops and street vendors have once again started trading. Are you in Nepal? Have you been affected by the earthquake?

The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information said that the social network had not obtained effective approval from WhatsApp's 35 million German users. Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19bn (£14.6bn) in 2014 as a way to reach out to a younger audience. It is to appeal against the order. "We will work with the Hamburg DPA in an effort to address their questions and resolve any concerns," it said in a statement. The data watchdog said that Facebook and WhatsApp were independent companies and should process their users' data as such. "After the acquisition of WhatsApp by Facebook two years ago, both parties have publicly assured [users] that data will not be shared between them," said commissioner Johannes Caspar in a statement. WhatsApp caused controversy in August when it announced that it was changing its privacy policy to allow its data to be shared with its parent company. It said that better co-ordination with Facebook would help it to fight spam as well as allowing Facebook to offer "better friends suggestions and show you more relevant ads if you have an account with them". It will share phone numbers and the details of the last time that users signed on to WhatsApp. EU and US regulators reacted with caution, saying that the update needed to be investigated. The UK's Information Commissioner is also looking into the changes.
Facebook has been ordered by a German privacy regulator to stop collecting and storing the data of German users of its messaging app WhatsApp.

Operation Anagram was formed by Strathclyde Police in 2006 after Tobin raped and murdered 23-year-old Polish student Angelika Kluk in Glasgow. It also helped convict him of the murders of 18-year-old Dinah McNicol and 15-year-old Vicky Hamilton. Police said that while the operation was being scaled back it would never end. Det Sup David Swindle, who formed the operation, said anyone with information regarding Peter Tobin would still be able to contact the Anagram incident room via e-mail which would be monitored daily. "Since Operation Anagram was formed in 2006, I could never have believed the momentum and magnitude it would have developed into," he said. "The public response and assistance from the media has been unbelievable. "The long-running investigation has brought some solace to the families of Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol in knowing what happened to their loved ones." Det Sup Swindle said that although Anagram had not uncovered other murder victims of Tobin to date, he was "proud" of its "success in bringing closure" to some bereaved families. He added: "I leave Strathclyde Police after 34 years in the knowledge that we have tried our best to find out the truth of what Tobin has done and also with confidence that the Anagram processes built up over the last four and a half years ensures a life long awareness of this cowardly, vicious serial killer Tobin. "Any new information coming to light will continue to be researched which may bring similar closure to other families. "The search for the truth about what Peter Tobin has done will continue." Tobin is serving three life sentences for the murders of Vicky Hamilton, Dinah McNicol and Angelika Kluk. Ms Kluk was raped and murdered at a church in Glasgow in 2006. The bodies of Ms McNicol, from Essex, and Ms Hamilton, from Redding in Falkirk, were found the following year in the garden of Tobin's former home in Margate, Kent. Operation Anagram has helped piece together a timeline of Tobin's movements and relationships over decades in a bid to determine whether he is responsible for other unsolved crimes.
A dedicated police operation set up to examine the activities of serial killer Peter Tobin is to be wound down.

In an email thanking his campaign team after voting closed, Mr Burnham said getting this far was "a real achievement". BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said this was seen by some of his supporters as a concession of defeat. But a campaign source said this was "categorically not" the case. The winner of the leadership election will be announced on Saturday. Mr Burnham is up against Jeremy Corbyn, Liz Kendall and Yvette Cooper in the contest. In his email, he told supporters the campaign had "tested us all on every level". He said: "But we have coped with the inevitable ups and downs with good humour and run a strong, positive and professional campaign of which you can all be very proud. "Most importantly, we have stayed true to our values and competitive right to the end of the race. "We end it with an outside but realistic chance of winning. That is a real achievement." Mr Burnham added that "thousands of ordinary, decent party members are now worried about where we are heading". Mr Corbyn only made it on to the ballot paper at the last minute when nominations were finalised in June but has become the bookies' favourite. On Twitter, he said it had been "an inspiring summer" regardless of the outcome of the election. This is it. The last minute phone banks, panics over missing ballots, final pleas from the candidates are done. The vote is over and now Labour's wait begins. Before the result though it seems that already the party has been changed, possibly forever by these extraordinary last few months. An unexpected candidate has done the unexpected and Jeremy Corbyn has put himself into the most likely position to win the contest. Strikingly, that is against the better judgement of nearly every single senior figure in the Labour Party, and crucially nearly all of its MPs. Read Laura's blog in full One of Mr Corbyn's supporters, Leeds East MP Richard Burgon, said many people would be "pleasantly surprised" at his leadership style if he won. "It will be a more collegiate and a more collectivist leadership which will include people," he said. "It will include MPs who don't agree with some of Jeremy's politics." Speaking to the BBC at Mr Corbyn's final rally in his Islington North constituency, Unite General Secretary Len McCluskey said the left-wing MP had already won in his eyes. He said Mr Corbyn had "lit up our movement in a way that I didn't think was possible" after the general election, adding: "That's a victory in itself." "Jeremy, in that calm fashion seems to have touched a pulse, and that pulse is about people rejecting the constant downbeat austerity message that's been coming out of politics for thirty five years," Mr McCluskey added. Angela Eagle, who is running for the deputy Labour leadership, told the BBC she would serve whichever leader is elected, adding that the party needed to capitalise on the "enthusiasm for politics" and "hope" the contest had generated. The contest has been plagued by internal rows over Labour's direction and concerns that non-party supporters have tried to influence the outcome. Labour has said efforts to weed out non-party supporters would continue up until results day. In the closing speech of her campaign, Ms Kendall - who has stressed the need for Labour to appeal to a broader section of the electorate - said she may have been "too blunt" at times. She added: "But my view is that in politics, as in life, you cannot deal with problems by ignoring or avoiding them." There have also been claims from some people that they did not receive their ballot papers in time to vote. London mayor hopeful David Lammy said 20% of supporters who his team spoke to had received nothing. Labour said ballots had been emailed and posted out correctly to everyone entitled to vote. The party said everyone who had not voted or said they did not have a ballot had received a final email reminder on Tuesday. Labour's new deputy leader will also be unveiled at the leadership conference on Saturday, and its London mayoral candidate will be announced on Friday.
Labour leadership contender Andy Burnham has told supporters he has an "outside but realistic chance" of winning the contest.

The 56-year-old man, from Essex, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in a field off Burrows Lane, in the Middle Stoke area, on Sunday. His next of kin have been informed. No-one else was in the aircraft. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) attended and are investigating the cause of the crash, which happened at about 16:18 GMT. Louise Holloway, who lives nearby, was outside in the garden when she heard a "huge bang" and saw "a massive orange flash right across the sky".

But on Monday the Church of England broke a tradition inherited from the first Christians 2,000 years ago when the three houses of the General Synod voted to allow women to be bishops. Since the days of Jesus and his 12 male apostles the Church has had exclusively male leaders - bishops whose authority has been handed down the generations by the laying on of hands. Hilary Cotton chairs Women and the Church, which campaigns for women bishops. "Saying yes to women bishops is a cosmic shift," she says. "It changes our whole understanding of what God intended people to be, and even changes the Church's theology by recognising that men and women are equally chosen to lead it." A senior figure on the "high church" wing of the Anglicanism, Prebendary David Houlding, says creating women bishops represents "a massive shift" in the way the Church presented itself to the world. "It's an unprecedented acceptance by the Church of the secular values of society", he says. "There was a lot of damage to the Church's reputation when the measure was defeated before. It's terrified of sending the wrong signal again." Samuel Margrave, who also opposes the legislation, told the Synod: "This is a show for the media. It's the end of the Church as we know it." The Reverend Lindsay Southern, the Vicar of Catterick in North Yorkshire, who supports the proposals, said a single vote for woman bishops would have huge long-term effects. "It might look like a small change in direction from the outside, but it's like a ship at sea - a change in course over time will lead us to a completely different place." Women now constitute a third of the 11,000 Anglican priests, several of whom have reached senior positions. The Church's 42 dioceses have given unanimous backing to the latest proposals. But to take such a profound step, each of the Synod's three houses - representing bishops, clergy and lay people - needed to support legislation to create women bishops by a majority of two-thirds. The legislation failed in November 2012 because lay synod members who supported women bishops nevertheless believed that traditionalists were not getting sufficient exemptions from serving under them. The latest proposals would allow traditionalist parishes to ask a woman bishop for a male alternative, and take any dispute over the process to an independent ombudsman. "There will be an 'expectation' that bishops will do their best to accommodate (traditionalist) parishes," says Prebendary Rod Thomas, the leader of the conservative evangelical group, Reform. "But in the end it depends on trust, and that is the big question. Will there be trust?" Evangelical traditionalists oppose women bishops because of their belief that the Bible calls for men to head churches. Traditionalists on the Catholic, or High Church, wing of Anglicanism believe that because Jesus chose only men to make up his 12 apostles, only men should lead the Church. In fact some do not believe that women can be priests, so that were a woman bishop to ordain a man as a priest, he would not truly be a priest. High Church traditionalists will look for alternative male bishops who have been ordained by a man, and who have not themselves ordained women as priests. With the tide of opinion in the Church, and in wider society, running against them, traditionalists are being offered much less than they wanted. After the legislation is passed, and if Parliament approves it, the new law will be "promulgated" by the Synod in November. Committees looking for bishops for the vacancies in Newcastle, Oxford and Peterborough could then interview women candidates. Senior bishops elsewhere might more quickly appoint a woman in the more junior role of assistant or "suffragan" bishop. Other Anglican churches already have women bishops - there are 20 in Canada, Australia, the United States, Cuba, India, New Zealand, Swaziland and South Africa. The Church of Ireland, which covers Northern Ireland, appointed Rev Pat Storey, as the first woman bishop in the UK in September, 2013.
Not for more than 20 years has the future direction and character of the Church of England turned so profoundly on a single vote.

The embalmed body is currently on display in his home city of Batac. The decision to move Marcos is controversial because of his record of huge corruption and rights abuses. President Duterte said the transfer of Marcos' body could take place next month. He said that protests against the move would be allowed as long as motorists were not inconvenienced. Army spokesman Col Benjamin Hao said that representatives of the Marcos family have visited the cemetery in the Taguig area of metropolitan Manila to pick a burial site and make initial preparations. Left wing critics of the transfer argue that it is inappropriate to provide an honourable burial to a president blamed for thousands of killings, tortures and military abductions - many of which remain unresolved. While the military comprise the majority of the 40,000 people laid to rest in the cemetery, correspondents say that military rules prohibit those who have been dishonourably discharged. President Marcos and his wife Imelda ruled the Philippines for 20 years before more than a million people took to the streets to overthrow them in what became known as the People Power Revolution of 1986. How People Power toppled dictator Marcos Earlier on Sunday President Duterte said that dozens of current or former politicians, officials and judges with links to illegal drugs must surrender and be investigated. In a nationally televised address, he named those he was accusing and ordered their security to be withdrawn. Duterte: 'Punisher' to president Local media reports say some of those named have been misidentified. But Mr Duterte said he would take full responsibility for any who turned out to be innocent. Mr Duterte was sworn in as president in June, after winning a landslide election victory a month earlier. He had previously been mayor of the country's third biggest city, Davao, for 22 years where his tough approach and controversial comments earned him the nickname "The Punisher".
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has given the go-ahead for the body of his disgraced predecessor Ferdinand Marcos to be buried in the Heroes' Cemetery in Manila.

The red sand boa is a protected species, and looks like it has two heads, because its tail is shaped like its head to help it defend itself. The snake is prized on the black market because many believe it brings good luck or has medicinal qualities. Police in Bangalore arrested four people trying to sell the protected creature for $1,500 (£1,100). Police said plain clothes officers had organised a sting by pretending to be interested buyers. The market for the "two-headed" red sand boas was "basically another form of cheating", PS Harsha, the local deputy commissioner of police, said. "It is invariably used to cheat people who have some belief that it will act as good luck charm." Sharath Babu, a wildlife warden in Bangalore's Urban district, said "it is a fallacy that it has two heads... the head and tail of the snake look alike, so if anyone tries to catch it, it strikes from the other end which is the head". Thanks to the superstition that the red sand boa will bring its owner treasure, demand for the snake is high, with people even hiring them out for ceremonies, Mr Babu told BBC Hindi. "It is even used for conducting rituals that would bring in rain or money. It is even believed that the heavier the snake, the more riches it will bring. So, the black market dealers shove ball bearings and other objects into the snakes. These animals die a very painful death." Luckily for this particular snake, though, it was rescued - and has now been set free in the Bannerghatta Biological Park on the outskirts of Bangalore.
India police say they have seized a rare snake, known as a "two-headed" red sand boa, from illegal smugglers.

Dear Alison I am compelled to write and seek review of an historic case of rape. Unusually, and contrary to current practice and the ACPO/CPS Guidance on the Investigation and Prosecution of Rape Cases, the investigation into the serious allegations in this case was dropped before the suspect was interviewed. The elements of lack of freedom and capacity to consent - which may even have triggered the "no consent" legal presumption - make the decision highly irregular. This is shocking in itself. It further troubles me that the senior police officer who dropped the case revealed to the victim he apparently took a series of worthless stereotypes and other irrelevant points into consideration. He did this after apparently consulting with an unnamed CPS official. Most of these stereotypes have been blown out of the water in recent months. Or so I thought. There has been a sea change in the climate surrounding rape, historic cases in particular. Why is it that the tide has not reached this case? I am driven to the unpalatable conclusion that the identity of the alleged perpetrator - Leon Brittan - may in some way have influenced treatment of the case. I hope I am wrong. But in my view the case demands your personal attention and an immediate review by the CPS Area Head of Sexual Offences. As you know, I have been working with the Metropolitan police on a number of cases involving sexual crimes over the last 18 months. I have been the recipient of a considerable amount of information from victims directly, much of which I have passed on to the police. You will know that some of this information has already led to arrests. I anticipate that, under your leadership, more work will follow. I enclose a contemporaneous note written by victim _________ of a rather blunt conversation she had with DCI Settle concerning his decision to drop the case. I invite you to note, in particular, that he told the victim - who had been locked in a flat and tried to escape from the bathroom window: "There is no evidence he asked you for sex, forced you to have sex, or asked you to take off your clothes, which you did voluntarily" This was apparently considered to be a fatal deficiency. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the victim has not has this confirmed in writing as promised. I asked _______ to share her thoughts after her experience of reporting a crime. These are her words: "My feelings are that I have been brutally misled having been encouraged by the DPP statements to come forward with my historical case following the Savile affair. All the public pronouncements after Savile suggested that these investigations would be treated sensitively, non-judgmentally and in a victim-centric way. I have been interviewed twice in long, harrowing video sessions first by ______ Police, then MPS [Metropolitan Police Service]. I have been encouraged by the MPS to believe that my evidence is both credible and corroborated. I have repeatedly had to relive the most harrowing night of my life, long pushed to the back of my mind. Then, when I had the temerity to question a police decision I have been turned on by a senior police officer, apparently with the support of the CPS. I have been implicitly accused of making an allegation against someone because 'it is all about who he is'. I have been implicitly accused of being a slut because I sat on a bed. These are attitudes that women of my generation associate with the police and prosecution authorities of the sixties and seventies, not an enlightened and publicly accountable twenty- first century service. It was these attitudes that made me think I would get nowhere if I proceeded with the case when the rape happened. It seems nothing has changed". I have found myself appalled at the conduct of this investigation. I would like to believe that it is not typical of the CPS and Metropolitan police as a whole. However the case raises some very serious questions which are likely to remain unanswered without your attention. In the light of this, please could you confirm to me that: Everyone is complicit in the failures of the past. But we have an opportunity now to put matters right. Any attempt to perpetuate a CPS in which a victim's acquiescence in or inability to escape rape is a barrier to prosecution would fail, with grievous consequences, and would be wrong. There is a strong public interest in getting this right. I have every confidence that your leadership, and personal intervention in this case, will take the CPS in an altogether better direction.
Below is the full letter that deputy Labour leader Tom Watson sent to the director public prosecutions Alison Saunders in April 2014 urging her to look again at the Lord Brittan allegations.

Prime Minister David Cameron announced the deal as he started a Jamaica visit. The project has been agreed to break the deadlock in negotiations over a prisoner transfer deal between the two countries. More than 600 Jamaican nationals are in UK jails but cannot be deported because of Jamaica's poor prison conditions. Officials say the foreign aid-funded deal could save taxpayers £10m a year when transfers begin in 2020. More than 300 existing offenders are expected to be sent back under the Jamaica prison scheme, which covers those sentenced to at least four years who have 18 months or more left to serve in custody. Currently they cannot be sent to Jamaica because of fears that jail conditions in the country would allow a successful challenge under human rights law. Jamaica is third highest in the list of foreign countries with nationals serving prison sentences in the UK.. Almost 70% of the Jamaicans in prison in Britain are serving sentences for violence and drug offences. The UK is contributing about 40% of the cost of building the planned jail, which would hold 1,500 people. Mr Cameron, who had been at the United Nations in New York for talks on the fight against the Islamic State group, said: "It is absolutely right that foreign criminals who break our laws are properly punished but this shouldn't be at the expense of the hard-working British taxpayer," he said. "That's why this agreement is so important. It will mean Jamaican criminals are sent back home to serve their sentences, saving the British guard of honourtaxpayer millions of pounds but still ensuring justice is done. "And it will help Jamaica by helping to provide a new prison, strengthening their criminal justice system." Mr Cameron, the first British prime minister to visit the island in 14 years, is also set to announce £300m of aid funding on infrastructure projects across the Caribbean, including roads, bridges and ports. He said the regional infrastructure fund, which will be delivered in collaboration with the Caribbean Development Bank, would help support economic growth in the Caribbean. Mr Cameron was greeted on his arrival at Kingston Airport by an honour guard and national anthems before he visited RFA Lyme Bay, the British ship currently on anti-drug smuggling and emergency relief duties in the Caribbean. He is due to finish the day by having talks with Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller and attending a reception. BBC political correspondent Carole Walker says that the PM has said he wants to improve a neglected relationship between the UK and Jamaica.
The UK is to spend £25m on building a prison in Jamaica so that foreign criminals in the UK can be sent home to serve sentences in the Caribbean.

Cole Doyle and his family had planned a trip to Costa Rica but the first leg of the journey was overbooked. The family travelled to two other airports and spent an extra C$1,000 (£590) to get a flight. The airline has now offered them compensation. It comes after video of a man being dragged from a US flight brought overbooking to public attention. Dr David Dao has said he will sue United Airlines after he lost two front teeth and his nose was broken when the airline called security officers in to help remove him from the plane. He had refused to leave when the airline asked for volunteers to make way for staff members. In response to the huge backlash the company faced on social media, United said it would allocate seats for staff at least an hour in advance, in future. It also promised it would no longer ask law enforcement officers to remove passengers. Separately in the UK, two passengers were asked to leave an Easyjet flight they had already boarded, and told the next flight to their destination was in four days. They decided not to reschedule, as they had booked non-refundable accommodation. After the United incident, the Canadian government announced it would overhaul the rules to "ensure that passengers' rights are protected". But well before that, Cole Doyle and his brother and parents were inconvenienced by an overbooking problem. In March, the Doyle family tried to check in online to their flight to Montreal but could not assign a seat to Cole. When they got to the airport at Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, they were told there was no seat for him as the flight had been overbooked. His mother, Shanna, asked whether an adult could give up their seat for Cole but was told that even if someone did so, it would be likely to go to another passenger and could not be guaranteed for the boy. The family drove the two hours to Moncton in neighbouring New Brunswick, in the hope of getting on another flight. "I'm crying in the back seat," Cole told the Canadian broadcaster CBC afterwards."Like how do I get to where I'm going? I don't know if I'm even going to make it with my family." Once they got there, though, they found out the flight they wanted had been cancelled. "I thought it was a joke," said Cole's father, Brett. "People are fed up. You shouldn't be able to sell something twice." The family eventually made it to Montreal and caught a connecting flight to Costa Rica for their holiday, but have since complained to Air Canada and received an offer of a C$2,500 (£1,500) voucher, along with an apology. An airline spokeswoman told the Canadian Press news agency: "We are currently following up to understand what went wrong and have apologised to Mr Doyle and his family as well as offered a very generous compensation to the family for their inconvenience."

Operators such as Uber and GrabTaxi will now have to register with the country's Land Transport Authority. Under the regulations, fees charged by the booking apps cannot exceed those of regular taxi companies. The new measures will be enforced from the second quarter of next year, the government office said on Friday. "To ensure that taxi services remain equally accessible to all members of the public, bidding and pre-trip tipping for taxi services will not be allowed," the LTA added in a statement. Wealthy city-state Singapore is among the most expensive places in the world to own a car, with many commuters relying on taxis to get around. The popularity of taxi booking services has surged in the city of nearly 5.4 million people, especially during peak business hours. Uber has expanded rapidly in Singapore offering services such as high-end UberExec and cheaper UberX cars, along with a service to book regular taxis. The company said the new rules would not affect its extra services, because it already has partnerships with licensed limousine and rental car companies. "We appreciate that the LTA has acknowledged the benefits our technology brings, and like Uber, is putting the interest and safety of consumers and drivers first," said Uber's regional general manager of Southeast Asia, Mike Brown, in a statement to Reuters. The San Francisco-based company has faced protests around the world by taxi drivers who are against its services, which allow people to become unlicensed taxi drivers by using their own cars.
Singapore plans to regulate third-party taxi booking apps such as Uber by capping fees and limiting them to use only licensed vehicles and drivers.

The hosts dominated the match but could not find a way past the Tigers goalkeeper, who brilliantly kept out Zlatan Ibrahimovic's long-range strike and Paul Pogba's driving effort in the first half. Media playback is not supported on this device In between, Harry Maguire should have done better with a header which he put wide of goal. Ibrahimovic hooked an effort wide in the second half and Jakupovic made his best save to prevent Juan Mata from scoring at the back post, as well as keeping out Paul Pogba's curler. The visitors could have won it with five minutes to go, but on-loan Lazar Markovic's clipped shot came back off the post and Abel Hernandez struck tamely at David de Gea. The point keeps United in sixth place, but allowed Hull to move off the bottom of the table. The rules are different for me - Mourinho Relive the entertaining draw from Old Trafford Jakupovic made a total of six saves, punching the air in delight with each effort he kept out and taking the acclaim of the jubilant away supporters at full-time. Hull have shipped 47 goals this season - only Swansea (52) have conceded more in the division - and this was just their second clean sheet in 23 league games. Asked by BBC Sport if it was his best game in a Hull shirt, Jakupovic replied: "I try to be my best for the team all the time but today I caught a good day. "The striker celebrates when he scored, and I celebrated to myself with some saves." United striker Ibrahimovic was not impressed by the Hull player's performance. The Swede said: "I did not see any chances where it was difficult for the goalkeeper. It was not a good save from Mata, it was a bad finish. Some saves he made for the cameras." United had seen all the top four sides drop points in this round of fixtures as they chase a Champions League spot, but failed to capitalise even though they had 66% possession in the match. Despite extending their run to 14 games unbeaten in the top-flight, they have drawn their last three games and are four points adrift of Liverpool in fourth place. United only had themselves to blame in a wasteful performance. Marcus Rashford, who completed a full 90 minutes for the first time since November, highlighted his team's sloppiness by losing possession 21 times - more than any other player on the pitch. Wayne Rooney was brought off the bench at half time, but failed to change the game, having become the club's leading all-time goal scorer in the previous league match at Stoke. Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: "We didn't score. You don't score, it is not possible to win. "Their goalkeeper was good. "We needed to score, we needed more time to play. If you played 35-40 minutes in both halves, it is a lot. I think Hull City tried to see where they could go, the way they could behave and tried to see what the referee would allow them to do. "They had the feedback and were comfortable to do what they did. I am not critical of that. They are fighting against relegation and every point is gold. Asked by BBC commentator Martin Fisher what upset him about referee Mike Jones' performance: "If you do not know football, you should not have a microphone in your hand." Before this game, Hull had lost nine straight away games, with their last point on their travels coming at Burnley in early September. But under new boss Marco Silva they have shown enough improvement to suggest they can preserve their top-flight status. The Portuguese has led Hull to a win and a draw in his first three games - with a defeat coming against leaders Chelsea - and lie four points away from safety. Having beaten United in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final last week, Hull may even feel disappointed by not taking all three points with Markovic coming agonisingly close to clinching the winner late on. However, striker Oumar Niasse was lucky not to be given a red card after making late challenges on Michael Carrick and Daley Blind, having earlier received a yellow card. Media playback is not supported on this device Hull boss Marco Silva: "It is a very good result for us against a very good team. We played like a team with great attitude, spirit and character.

Adams will make her professional debut in Manchester on Saturday when she fights Argentina's Virginia Carcamo. "Virgil has a lot of knowledge and one thing I like about him is he knows how to take an Olympic champion and turn them into a pro," said Adams, 34. "He did it with Andre [Ward] and he's capable of doing the same with me." American Ward, 33, has gone from winning gold at the 2004 Olympics to becoming a two-weight world champion and being unbeaten in 31 fights. Adams has been training alongside the likes of IBF, WBA and WBO light-heavyweight champion Ward as she prepares for her fight, and says doing so "has left me a bit in awe, to be honest". She added: "Like every fighter, my ultimate goal is to headline a show in Las Vegas and with the way the sport is building at the moment I see no reason why I can't get there. "Other female boxers like Claressa Shields and Katie Taylor have been putting women's professional boxing on the map and now that I've joined them it can only raise the bar again."
Great Britain's double gold medallist Nicola Adams believes new trainer Virgil Hunter will play a key part in success as a professional.

Those selling the illicit weapons often disassembled and sent them in different packages or embedded them in old stereos or printers, the report found. Researchers found that firearms and related goods generated 136 sales per month and a monthly revenue of $80,000 (£62,000). The firearms trade has gained attention following recent terrorist attacks. The dark net is a part of the internet that requires specific software to access, in order for users to remain anonymous. While the trade was unlikely to fuel large-scale terrorist operations, it had the potential to become the platform of choice for "lone-wolf" terrorists to obtain weapons and ammunition, the report said. Non-profit organisation Rand Corporation Europe, working with Manchester University, found 52 unique vendors selling weapons or similar items such as ammunition, explosives, or components such as silencers across 811 listings and 18 markets. Police believe the 2016 Munich shooting, which left nine people dead, used weapons purchased on the dark net. Lead author of the research, Giacomo Persi Paoli, said: "Recent high-profile cases have shown that the threat posed by individuals or small groups obtaining weapons illegally from the dark web is real. "The ability to not only arm criminals and terrorists, who can make virtually anonymous purchases, but also vulnerable and fixated individuals is perhaps the most dangerous aspect." Guns account for less than 1% of items sold on the platform, with its main trade being in narcotics. Nevertheless, the volume being sold "can be considered sufficiently high to be a cause of concern for policy makers and law enforcement agencies", said the report. The study involved collecting data from 12 dark net marketplaces during a week in September 2016. Most of those selling guns were based in the US, but Europe was the most popular destination for the weapons they sold. Judith Aldridge, co-investigator on the study, said: "In very simple terms, anyone can connect to the dark web and within minutes have access to a variety of vendors offering their products, which are most often illegal. "The dark web enables illegal trade at a global level, removing some of the geographical barriers between vendors and buyers, while increasing the personal safety of both buyers and sellers through a series of anonymising features that obscure their identities."
Criminals and terrorists are using the so-called dark net to buy weapons, a new study has suggested.

The pledges are included in the party's five-year plan for government. Increased free child care and more apprenticeships are promised, along with an M4 relief road and a South Wales Metro public transport network. Plaid Cymru said the programme was "lacklustre", while the Conservatives said Labour had let Wales down. The most expensive commitments cover 30 hours of free childcare a week over 48 weeks for parents of three and four-year-olds, and 100,000 apprenticeships open to people of all ages. The programme covers what the Welsh Government will try to achieve, while the first indication of what will be cut will emerge when its draft budget is published in October. The main pledges include: A Welsh Government source said there had been a "full and frank assessment of every pound, shilling and pence that we spend" in light of the financial uncertainty surrounding Brexit. He added: "Some tough decisions will have to be made in the first year. "Salami slicing is not going to get the job done this time round. There will be areas and programmes that will be cut." Responding to the claims on BBC Radio Wales, the first minister said: "There are going to be cuts... I'm not going to pretend otherwise. "Of course, our budget is shrinking, it has been for many years and that means very difficult decisions have to be taken. "We are going to have to look at some of the schemes we have delivered for many, many years and make a judgement." A programme, called Taking Wales Forward, reflects many of the pledges outlined in Labour's manifesto for the Welsh Assembly election in May. Mr Jones said Labour would see through its election promises, including building an M4 relief road and a South Wales Metro. He said: "The UK's withdrawal from the European Union creates some uncertainty and challenges, but our mandate is clear. "The Welsh Government's relentless focus will be on driving improvement in our economy and public services, which are together the bedrock of people's daily lives. On local government reform, Mr Jones said many services would have to be delivered "on a wider basis" in future, but he would not say whether this meant council mergers were still on the cards. Plaid Cymru AM Rhun ap Iorwerth said the programme for government portrayed the "gulf" between the two parties. That was despite pledges that were part of a deal struck in return for allowing Carwyn Jones to be re-elected as first minister back in May. "It should come as no surprise that a lacklustre manifesto has led to a lacklustre programme for government," said Mr ap Iorwerth. "Yes, it's good to see the elements that Plaid Cymru drove through in our post-election one-off agreement, including a pledge to create 100,000 new apprenticeships and a new drugs and treatments fund, but Labour's lack of innovative ideas shines through again." As the official opposition in the assembly, Plaid said it would be "challenging Labour to do better". The Conservatives said it was "difficult to disagree" with the plans but said Labour had "let Wales down" since devolution. Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said: "As usual we are left with little by way of detail, and Carwyn Jones's claim that Wales is punching above its weight is delusional. "In spite of our many and varied talents, the evidence suggests that the exact opposite is true. "Under Labour, the Welsh education system ranks behind Vietnam; large swathes of Wales are poorer than parts of Bulgaria, Romania and Poland; and Welsh NHS waiting times are the longest in the UK. "If the Labour Party thinks that Wales punching above its weight, then they have a very low opinion of our country indeed." Janet Jones, Wales policy chair for the Federation of Small Businesses, said: "We welcome the commitment in the Programme for Government to supporting innovation and providing additional support for businesses. "Key to that commitment must be a new economic development strategy which meets the challenges facing the Welsh economy in the coming five years. "That strategy needs to contain fresh thinking and should place a focus on growing small firms into the successful and grounded medium-sized businesses that Wales needs to put our economy on a stronger footing." Brexit will cast uncertainty over the next five years, says Carwyn Jones. But as someone who campaigned for a Remain vote, he is bound to talk up the risks - as he sees them - of leaving the EU. Whatever comes from Brexit, we know for certain there are plenty of hurdles that will make life difficult for Mr Jones if he is to deliver this five-year programme. Labour has no majority in the Senedd. Today's statement is a chance for him to explain how he will make Labour's manifesto a reality. But in doing so, he must keep other parties on side to maintain his grip on power. And we know there will be growing pressure on the Welsh Government budget. More cuts loom and sources close to the first minister say they have already had to wield the axe to raise the funds necessary to pay for expensive manifesto pledges.
Labour will keep its election promises despite uncertainty over Brexit, but cuts to some services are inevitable, the first minister has warned.

Seventeen years ago, he was responsible for work at a particularly troublesome oil field in Kazakhstan. "That oil field, Karazhanbas, was a real dog," he recalls, explaining that the oil there was very viscous, making it difficult to extract. "Nobody wanted it." But Mr Barak and his colleagues persevered, drilling hundreds of wells. The field was later sold in 2005 for around $2bn (£1.5bn), he says. Now, Mr Barak has turned his attention to the Wardlaw oil field in Edwards County, Texas. It lies in the southern corner of the Permian basin, a huge sedimentary basin in Texas and New Mexico that is associated with a high number of oil deposits. But while there are an estimated 168 million barrels at Wardlaw, only around 120,000 have ever been extracted. That's what Mr Barak and his colleague Anatoly Bazhal, principal science coordinator, hope to change. At Galex Energy Corporation, they have developed various technologies designed to dislodge hydrocarbons from the rock and move them to the surface. One example of their innovations uses acoustic waves that are "swept", a process invented by Galex in which the waves are transmitted into oil-bearing rock surrounding the oil well. Oil is trapped within that rock in tiny pores - the "reservoir" is more like a hard, wet sponge than an underground lake. To force oil out of the pores, the acoustic waves produce micro fractures in the rock that increase permeability. The area is also exposed to cycles of low and high pressure. During low pressure cycles, the trapped oil droplets are impacted dramatically. "The liquid bursts into vapour within the pore," explains Mr Barak. The pressure differential then encourages the hydrocarbons to flow towards the well where they can be drawn out of the ground. Galex hopes to drill around 25 test wells this summer to measure the effectiveness of swept and other technologies it has developed. But the process is not without risks. In a 2013 article Mr Barak and Mr Bazhal wrote, "the unauthorized and incompetent use of [the] technology swept can cause damage to the subsoil environment, property and threat to the life of staff". Nevertheless, oil and gas companies are continuing to pursue new methods and techniques like this in order to get ever more fossil fuels out of the ground. It's important to note that, traditionally, it has been commonplace for firms to recover only about a third of the oil from an oil field using existing techniques. But that is changing. There are various reasons why new extraction methods are cropping up, but a key factor was the high price of oil in recent years - between roughly 2011 and 2014 the average price of a barrel was $100 or more. "That period of time [when prices were high] allowed investments to be made in places such as very deep water in Brazil, Canadian sands and other parts of the world," explains Neil Atkinson, head of the International Energy Agency's oil industry and markets division. In other words, the oil companies invested heavily in research and development at trickier sites, and in some cases are now benefiting from increased extraction. An area long associated with oil production that some thought would have largely "dried up" by now is the North Sea, says Prof John Underhill at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. "More oil is being produced from those depleted fields than ever was thought possible when the North Sea was opened up," he says. One new approach he cites is directional drilling, in which non-vertical wells are bored into the oil field. "One can target those pockets of oil that would otherwise be left behind," he explains. There have been innovations in injection too - the process of putting fluid into an oil reservoir to increase the pressure, helping it to flow through to the well. At BP's major new site at Clair Ridge, off the coast of Shetland, chemistry will be harnessed to dislodge oil from the reservoir during injection. The technique involved is called "LoSal". The oil in the Clair field clings to clay thanks to ions - atoms or molecules with an electric charge. They act a bit like a chain holding the hydrocarbons in place. However, by lowering the salt content of the water in the reservoir, BP thinks this will make the chemical bonds of that chain relax. If that happens, the ions may be replaced by less binding ones, releasing the hydrocarbons in the process. BP plans to begin production at Clair Ridge in 2018, and continue recovering oil from the field for the following 32 years. The list of options for engineers vying to lure yet more oil from underground reservoirs is certainly growing. Some firms, like Titan Oil Recovery in the US, are even enlisting the help of microbes, tiny organisms living within the oil field. A sample of water in the field is sent to the lab for analysis, explains chairman and founder Ken Gerbino. The goal is to find a microbe living there that can be fed and encouraged to proliferate. Once one is identified, Titan can deliver its - secret - formula. "They multiply like crazy," says Mr Gerbino. The microbes, booming in number, surround globules of oil trapped in the porous rock. "They physically deform the droplets into micro oil droplets," he explains. That means that the oil is more mobile and easier to recover. "We've been on 48 commercial oil fields, we've done over 300 well applications, and the average increase in production has been 92%," he adds. But microbial enhanced oil recovery, or MEOR as it is known, is not commonplace despite having been in development for many decades. MrGerbino says his company's approach can cost as little as $6 per barrel, but the oil industry has long hesitated over MEOR techniques because of high costs and fears that microbial manipulation might not work as intended. Of course, specialised techniques for encouraging oil towards the production well are one thing - simply locating pockets of oil suitable for extraction is another. This is no mean feat when, as in the North Sea, hundreds of smaller pools of oil are of course locked under the seafloor. Selecting which to aim for needs to be done carefully. But augmented reality could soon help engineers decide which of these resources to earmark, according to Chris Pearson, small pools solution centre manager at the UK's recently opened Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC), The OGTC is working with Aberdeen University to develop 3D visual representations of reservoirs - simulations of the oil field - based on data from geophysical surveys. Artificial intelligence techniques can then predict what oil in that model is most recoverable and these evaluations can be represented within the 3D view. "I'd call it augmented decision-making," says Pearson. "It gives you a more informed view of what the reservoir looks like." For those in the oil industry right now, new technologies are just part of the excitement associated with high levels of both supply and demand. They also play to many people's confidence that "peak oil" - when the maximum rate of oil extraction has been reached - is still a long way off. And that, of course, is despite continued concerns that the fervour to extract more oil will lead to serious environmental problems - including, ultimately, a problematic contribution to climate change once those hydrocarbons are burned as fuel and emissions released. But peak oil has certainly seemed more distant in recent times than it did, say, 10 years ago. The entrepreneurs and engineers behind new extraction technologies have plenty of faith that the status quo will continue - as does Neil Atkinson at the IEA. "Oil production has been going up and up and up remorselessly for a very long time," he says, "and it will continue to do so."
Russian engineer Alex Barak has been coaxing oil out of the ground for a long time.

Quick-Step Floors' Trentin reeled in and surged past Spain's Juan Jose Lobato, with Belgium's Tom van Asbroeck third in Tarragona. Four-time Tour de France champion Froome finished in the bunch on the 198km stage from Escaldes-Engordany. The Team Sky rider, 32, still holds a two-second lead. Spain's David de la Cruz, Irishman Nicolas Roche and American Tejay van Garderen are his closest challengers. Froome is aiming to become only the third rider to win the Tour and the Vuelta in the same year. Trentin, 28, has now won a stage in all three Grand Tours, adding to victory at the 2016 Giro d'Italia and wins in the 2013 and 2014 Tours de France. "I'm really proud to have done this with this team," said Trentin. "I was really looking for this stage win as I've been going well in the last part of the season." Quick-Step have won two of the four stages of this year's Vuelta, following Yves Lampaert's victory on stage two. They held the race together to set up Trentin for a bunch sprint after the breakaway duo of Stephane Rossetto and Diego Rubio were caught inside the final 10km. Britain's Simon Yates moved up to 10th in the general classification, 48 seconds behind Froome, after Italy's Domenico Pozzovivo crashed late on and lost three minutes 25 seconds.

The allegations relate to Mr Olmert's time as Jerusalem mayor in the 1990s. Mr Olmert, who resigned as prime minister in 2009, has already been charged in three unrelated corruption cases. He denies any wrongdoing. The latest charges concern the construction of a luxury residential complex in Jerusalem called Holyland which is built on a prominent hilltop. Prosecutors claim that millions of dollars changed hands illegally to facilitate a series of property deals. Jerusalem's planning laws were altered to enable the complex to be built. The project's developers have also been charged in the case. Haaretz newspaper describes the case as one of the largest corruption scandals in Israel's history. The former prime minister denies any wrongdoing and has called the investigation a "witch hunt". Mr Olmert was mayor of Jerusalem from 1993 - 2003, then became a minister in the Israeli cabinet. He took over as prime minister in 2006 after Ariel Sharon suffered a stroke. His three-year premiership was dogged by corruption allegations, and he eventually agreed to stand down. Mr Olmert has pleaded not guilty in the separate proceedings against him, in which he is accused of taking cash for favours and double-billing for overseas trips.

The couple, from Halstead, suffered "life-changing" injuries during "two hours of torture" on 26 April. Kent Police said the woman remains in a critical condition and the man is still being treated for his injuries. The couple were told family members would be killed if they did not give the gang what they wanted. The computer-generated image was created with the help of one of the victims. It shows a black man of medium height, possibly aged in his 20s, with cropped black hair. "Although the suspects tried to conceal their identities, we have been able to get a very detailed description of one of the men," Sgt Simon Harrold said.

Thai officials said the event, which was halted minutes before it was due to start, could have affected relations between the two countries. The HRW report focuses on the treatment of a Christian group in Vietnam. The group said the Thai response showed how freedom of speech had been eroded since the army seized power last year. Thai police said the event at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand could "have an impact on the country's security or could affect the friendship and cooperation between Thailand and Vietnam". It is the third human rights event at the venue that has been halted by authorities in the past month. The HRW report describes what it says is the persecution of Montagnard Christians in Vietnam's central highlands. Their religious practices have been described by the Vietnamese government as "evil". Sunai Phasuk, Human Rights Watch's senior researcher in Asia, said the decision to cancel the report's launch was "very disappointing". "Thailand is now going to be known as the defender of human rights violators in [Southeast Asia], which adds more damage to Thailand's already tarnished international reputation under the military rule," he added. Thai authorities have launched a crackdown on critics since the military seized power from a civilian government in May 2014.

David Harris, 68, who had become "besotted" with another woman, was found guilty of offering to pay an undercover policeman £150,000 to murder Hazel Allinson. His Old Bailey trial heard he wanted to inherit her West Sussex home and elope with sex worker Ugne Cekaviciute, 28. The Court of Appeal confirmed papers had been lodged for an appeal. Harris, the former producer of the police drama series The Bill, had claimed he was researching a spy novel and denied solicitation to murder at his trial. But the retired producer was caught when the police officer posing as a would-be hitman taped a conversation in which Harris said he was "100% sure" he wanted his partner dead. The jury was told Harris had mounting debts and was desperate to inherit his partner's £800,000 home in Amberley and set up home with Ms Cekaviciute. The Old Bailey was told Harris had approached London mechanic Christopher May in March 2016 and said: "I'm offering you £250,000 to kill my wife." In November 2016 he met an undercover policeman posing as a hitman called Chris in the car park of Sainsbury's in Balham, south London. They were introduced by a 6ft 3in "man mountain" called Zed, to whom Harris had previously given Ms Allinson's details and a photograph. Unknown to Harris, Zed, whose real name is Duke Dean, had already reported him to City of London Police, the court was told. Jailing Harris for 17 years in July, Judge Anne Molyneux QC said: "For your pipe dream, for your obsessive infatuation with a young woman, Ms Allinson, who had protected and nurtured you, was to die a painful and terrifying death in an isolated spot. "Her death was to fund your life. You had used her until she had outlasted her usefulness to you."

The Reds looked in control when Roberto Firmino converted James Milner's pass and Daniel Sturridge backheeled to Sadio Mane to clip home a second. But Leicester were given hope when Lucas inexplicably passed the ball to Jamie Vardy to shoot into an empty net. However, Adam Lallana sealed the win by firing a shot into the top corner and Firmino got a second from Mane's pass. Jurgen Klopp's Reds are up to seven points from four games, having played their first three matches on the road because of the expansion of Anfield's Main Stand. Meanwhile, Leicester remain on four points as they prepare for their Champions League debut against Club Brugge on Wednesday. Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet picked up blood injuries to his nose and then eye, but he lasted the 90 minutes with summer signing Loris Karius remaining on the bench. Liverpool, as has often been the case under Klopp, looked brilliant in stages, especially in the first 35 minutes when they could have been out of sight. Their opener was a good passing move, which ended in left-back Milner playing a great ball through to Firmino, who stepped inside Robert Huth to steer the ball into the bottom corner. The Foxes defence were again caught out by Jordan Henderson's ball forward for the second and Sturridge squared it with his heel for Mane to score on his home debut. But there will be cause for concern as Brazilian midfielder Lucas started at centre-back, with Mamadou Sakho not in the squad, and he let Leicester back into the game. He miscontrolled a simple pass from Mignolet and - under pressure and in a panic - played the ball across goal to Vardy, who just had to tap into an unguarded net. That gave Leicester hope and they could have had an equaliser when Robert Huth headed a Luis Hernandez long throw-in off the bar. Luckily for the Reds, they got their act together in the second half and Lallana scored his second goal in a week, after his England winner against Slovakia, to wrap up the win, from Georginio Wijnaldum's lay-off. And they added a late fourth when Kasper Schmeichel - who made seven saves in an otherwise good performance - came flying out of his goal with Mane rounding him and unselfishly passing to Firmino to steer the ball past several Leicester defenders. Media playback is not supported on this device Media playback is not supported on this device After record deadline day signing Islam Slimani only returned from Algeria duty on Friday night, Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri decided to wait before giving the striker his debut. Leicester lined up with 10 of their 11 regular starters from last season's title-winning team, with Daniel Amartey in for N'Golo Kante, who was sold to Chelsea earlier this summer. And they were outplayed throughout the game, with their only good spell inspired by Lucas' mistake. Ranieri's side only had three shots on target, including the goal, with Vardy also forcing a save from Mignolet from Riyad Mahrez's ball forward. Last season that combination ended so often in a goal - but this year they might need new ideas, so Ranieri will be eager for £29m Slimani to give them fresh impetus up front. Former Foxes captain Matt Elliott, in his role as BBC Radio Leicester summariser, said: "I didn't see anybody have a glaring howler of a game for Leicester, it was more of a general lack of quality. "At times last year maybe the intensity was a little bit more, and the opposition weren't as good as Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City are going to be this season." The game was played in front of Anfield's biggest crowd since 1977, with a 54,000 sell-out in the newly expanded stadium. Some 8,500 seats were added to the Main Stand this summer. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp told BBC Sport: "It was a tough game against a really strong opponent. "This team is really capable of a lot of exciting things. We played quick but then we conceded and had to show we could fight and stay in the game. "I don't think about where we can reach. We have to be really strong in this league. We have had four away games to begin with, so let's go for it, enjoy it and today I saw some really wonderful things." Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri: "Liverpool played well and deserved to win. We started well, but after the first goal we lost our shape a little. "We tried in the second half, but everything Liverpool tried came good. We created chances, but were a little unlucky. "We have to clear our minds for the next match. When we have lost in the past, we have always had a good reaction." Leicester play their first ever Champions League match on Wednesday, when they go to Club Brugge in their Group G opener (19:45 BST kick-off).

The former Rangers captain will join Killie on a three-year deal to team up with boss Gary Locke at Rugby Park. McCulloch, 37, was deemed surplus to requirements at Ibrox after Rangers' new management team of Mark Warburton and David Weir arrived in June. The former Wigan Athletic midfielder won three top-flight league titles and two Scottish Cups with Rangers. McCulloch, who played many of his 46 games for Rangers last season in central defence, joins striker Kris Boyd and full-back Stevie Smith in making the move to Kilmarnock from Ibrox this summer. Scotland international McCulloch was involved with Locke in Kilmarnock's preparations for Saturday's friendly against Berwick Rangers. He joined Wigan from Motherwell in March 2001 and, after more than six years there, moved to Rangers for £2.25m.
Lee McCulloch will sign for Kilmarnock in a player-coach role, his representative has confirmed.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) has placed male bear Arktos in with female Victoria at its Highland Wildlife Park near Aviemore. Polar bear cubs were last born in the UK almost 25 years ago. Arktos is one of two male bears at the park at Kincraig in the Cairngorms National Park. The pair could remain together for about two weeks. Arktos will eventually return to an enclosure he shares with the other male, Walker. RZSS said captive breeding was an important part of a wider effort to conserve polar bears, which are classified as "vulnerable" on the International Union Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species. However, animal welfare organisations OneKind Scotland and Born Free Foundation have said tackling climate change to better protect wild bears should be the focus of conservation efforts rather than captive breeding. RZSS, which also manages Edinburgh Zoo where efforts have been made to breed giant pandas, said Arktos and Victoria have mated several times so far. The society said the pair would live together for the next week or two "mimicking what would occur naturally in the wild". Vickie Larkin, head carnivore keeper at the park, said the pair had appeared to have bonded well since being introduced. She said: "Both polar bears have really warmed to each other and all the signs are really positive. "From the first moment they met, Arktos has been really gentle with Victoria and their bond has been immediate. "Polar bear breeding is inherently complex as the species are induced ovulators, meaning that the female only releases an egg after initial mating occurs. They also practice delayed implantation, where the egg doesn't implant into the uterine wall until some months later." Ms Larkin added: "If successful, Victoria will not fall pregnant until August to September time. "Other key stages are her entering the birthing den in October to November and potentially giving birth in December to January. Any cubs would then not come out of the birthing den until March to April 2017." Arktos arrived at the park in April 2012 from a zoo in Hannover, Germany. When being given health checks, park staff talk to Arktos in German, the language he heard when he was in the zoo in Hannover. Victoria, who was brought to Scotland from Aalborg Zoo in Denmark last year and is kept in an enclosure about a mile away from the males, previously raised cubs in 2008.
Polar bears involved in a Scottish captive breeding project are sharing an enclosure and mating.

The mutation was also present in our evolutionary "cousins" - the Neanderthals and Denisovans. However, it is not found in humans' closest living relatives, the chimpanzees. As early humans evolved, they developed larger and more complex brains, which can process and store a lot of information. Last year, scientists pinpointed a human gene that they think was behind the expansion of a key brain region known as the neocortex. They believe the gene arose about five or six million years ago, after the human line had split off from chimpanzees. Now, researchers have found a tiny DNA change - a point mutation - that appears to have changed the function of the gene, sparking the process of expansion of the neocortex. The human brain Source: Smithsonian Museum It may have paved the way for the brain's expansion by dramatically boosting the number of brain cells found in this region. Dr Wieland Huttner of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, led the research. "A point mutation in a human-specific gene gave it a function that allows expansion of the relevant stem cells that make a brain big," he told BBC News. "This one, as it is fixed in the human genome - so all living humans have the gene - apparently gave a tremendous selection advantage, and that's why we believe it spread in the human population." Between two and six million years ago, the ancestors of modern humans began to walk upright and use simple tools. During this extended period of time, their brain size started to increase. They began to spread around the world, encountering different environments. From about 800,000 years ago, their brain size increased further, helping them to survive in a changing world. Still, many questions remain about how early humans evolved larger brains. It is likely that the gene is one of many genetic changes that gave humans their unique intelligence and thinking ability. The research is published in the journal, Science Advances. Follow Helen on Twitter.
Humans may in part owe their big brains to a DNA "typo" in their genetic code, research suggests.

Mark Jones, 45, of Cwmbran, Torfaen, fractured Amelia Jones's skull when he was supposed to be looking after her. He had denied murder but was convicted at Newport Crown Court on Thursday and jailed for life. He was also jailed for four years after admitting perverting the course of justice which will be served concurrently. Mr Justice Wyn Williams said Jones had shown no remorse for his "wicked and despicable" actions. He said: "It may well be that you are never released from prison or if you are, you will be a very old man." The court heard he had "totally destroyed" the life of his daughter, Sarah Jones, and given her surviving children nightmares. A victim impact statement from Ms Jones, said: "It really upsets and saddens me now, looking back, I spent such little time with her. "It seems like she didn't really exist, like she was some kind of dream." The court was told the rest of her children were taken from her for about 18 months, between November 2012 and April 2014. One child in particular was "afraid his grandfather would kill him if he got out of prison", the statement said. "There have been times when I blamed myself for what happened to Amelia, because I was the person who invited him back into my life," Ms Jones added. "As far as I'm concerned he is no longer my father." Amelia died in November 2012 after suffering a "catastrophic" bleed to the brain. During his trial, Jones claimed he fell with Amelia in his arms on one occasion and passed out while holding her on another. But the court heard she had suffered a skull fracture, brain swelling and multiple rib fractures and had been injured at least three different times. The prosecution said the injuries "could not have been accidental" and were all deliberately inflicted by her grandfather, who frequently had sole charge of Amelia. The prosecution said he hurt her because he disliked her father, Ian Skillern.
A man who murdered his five-week-old granddaughter has been jailed for life and will serve a minimum of 25 years.

The Coventry Festival of Motoring, which attracted 40,000 visitors in 2014, has had ??20,000 of funding withdrawn by the city council. However, organisers Culture Coventry said the funding withdrawal was "not the only reason" they had made the decision to cancel the event. It said events planned for 2015 and 2016 have been axed. Organisers said they had not ruled out reviving the festival, but it would remain on hold indefinitely. The free heritage event, which features classic cars, was due to take place in August at Stoneleigh Park. It is organised by Culture Coventry, a trust set up to manage four of the city's visitor attractions. Chief executive Gary Hall said he had just found out about the council's funding withdrawal. "I have to look at the ongoing viability of the show and with cuts coming from the city council and other sponsors, we would not be able to grow it as we have in recent years," he said. "It is a lot of money and, as a charity running four attractions in the city, we have to look at what benefits we are getting." He said the charity was reopening Coventry's Transport Museum in June following a ??9m redevelopment. "Unfortunately, we have to put all of our resources into promoting the museum," he said. Mr Hall said the charity would run "a number of events" throughout 2015 to bring classic car owners into Coventry. Coventry MotoFest, a more recent addition to the city's festival calendar, which features car races and displays, will go ahead in May, as planned.
A motoring festival which has been running for 30 years is to be cancelled, organisers have said.

India's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5.3% in the quarter compared with a year earlier, data showed. That is down from 6.1% in the previous quarter. Analysts were expecting the same figure for January to March. India is the third-largest economy in Asia but has been struggling with inflation and currency weakness. Since July last year, the Indian rupee has seen one of the biggest declines among Asian currencies, dropping more than 27% against the US dollar. "Shocking numbers as growth was even lower than lows witnessed during the financial crisis," said Anubhuti Sahay from Standard Chartered Bank in Mumbai. The BBC's Yogita Limaye in Mumbai said that just a year ago India was aspiring for double-digit growth. But a global slowdown has reduced external demand, and high inflation coupled with a weak rupee has made things more expensive within the country. Domestic demand, which India's economy is largely reliant on, has also slowed in part due to the political upheaval in the country. India's economy is suffering from "policy incoherence, shifting global risk appetite and a comatose government", said Rajeev Malik, senior economist at brokerage CLSA India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh admitted early this month that his government must do more to get the once fast-growing economy moving again. The Congress-led coalition government is caught up in a slew of corruption scandals. Key policy reforms, including allowing foreign investment in India's retail sector, have been delayed in parliament for more than a year. This has worried foreign investors and threatened the country's investment grade credit rating. "This is definitely a very important signal for the government - this is a make or break situation for India and the government has to step on the panic button," said Rupa Rege Nitsure, chief economist at Bank of Baroda in Mumbai. "If the government doesn't step in now, India's sovereign ratings may be jeopardised."
The Indian economy grew at the slowest rate since 2003 in the first three months of 2012, due to a widening trade gap and poor investment.

Cardiff hosted England's win over New Zealand and semi-final defeat to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy, along with Sri Lanka versus Pakistan and the less well-attended Bangladesh v New Zealand match. Around 3,000 seats were not occupied for the England v New Zealand match because of poor weather forecasts, while cancelled trains are believed to have contributed to some empty seats for the T20 on Sunday. But a rapid re-allocation of tickets worked well for the England-Pakistan game after fears that India supporters, who bought tickets for both semi-finals, would not turn up. "It's particularly important (to have big crowds) this year, because at the back end of the year we are likely along with other counties to be bidding for our international programme between the years 2020 and 2024," explained Morris. "There's also the new city-based franchise T20 as well, so it's important we can demonstrate we can fill houses and people have a great time when they are here." England's score of 181 in 20 overs against South Africa could also come as a relief, after captain Eoin Morgan criticised the use of a previously-used wicket for the Champions Trophy semi-final, a choice attributed to the International Cricket Council. "I wasn't surprised (with the score), it's a wicket that has played extremely well this year in domestic and international cricket, in recent years we've had some very good marks," said former county captain and England opener Morris. Glamorgan have forecast an operating profit for 2017 on the back of five days of international cricket. But it appears unlikely they will add another overseas player to their squad for the T20 Blast, after signing South African paceman Marchant de Lange on a three-year deal for all forms of cricket.
Glamorgan chief executive Hugh Morris says Cardiff's third sell-out for an England match in June will boost their hopes of attracting further international matches.

Carter has suffered with the condition for years and struggled throughout the 6-2 defeat by the three-time champion at the York Barbican. Carter, 36, told BBC Sport: "I have such a handicap living with this Crohn's disease. "When you have constant abdominal pain you can't settle." Carter, who has recovered from a life-threatening cancerous tumour on his lung, scored a fluent 89 in the opening frame. But Higgins lived up to his billing as a pre-tournament favourite, barely missing a ball thereafter. He capitalised on a couple of Carter misses to pinch the next two frames and rattled off five frames in succession before closing out victory. Two-time World Championship finalist and world number 28, Carter, added: "I missed a couple of balls and am 3-1 down. "It is so hard to compete at the top level anyway and when you have something like that, it makes it very difficult. "I don't want to keep going on about it and I don't feel like my game is a million miles away. But it is such a big handicap If you are not 100% right competing at this level." "It's a wonder I can compete at all. It's not an excuse, it's a handicap. But in the bigger picture, I am lucky to be alive I suppose."
Ali Carter said his battle with Crohn's disease put him at a huge disadvantage during his third-round UK Championship loss against John Higgins.

Costco store manager Roger Cooper, 41, and ex-soldier David Cooper, 39, both deny killing Sameena Imam, 34. Her body was found buried at an allotment in Leicester in January after allegedly been killed with chloroform. Ms Imam had been having a two-year affair with Roger Cooper and issued him with an ultimatum to leave his partner. Roger Cooper, of Coventry, denies murdering his colleague after driving her from Coventry to Leicester on December 24, claiming he dropped her off at a supermarket following an argument. His brother, of Leicester, has admitted burying Ms Imam's body but denies doing anything to cause her death. The prosecution claim Roger Cooper wanted Ms Imam out of his life as he conducted three relationships, and enlisted the help of his brother to "plan and execute" the alleged murder. A trial at Birmingham Crown Court, which began in August, was told by a toxicologist that several metallic elements were found in the body of Ms Imam. She had worked at Costco outlets in Cardiff, Coventry, Southampton and Bristol.

A Ray Winstone-like voice is programmed to say "Don't even think about it" and "Put it down, put it back" as soon as the card is removed from the bag. Rebecca Smith, Leanne Fischler and Kirsty Sneddon created the bag for a degree project. The fourth-year students said the design was "very conceptual". All three are in their final year at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee. The bag - designed to be a "unisex satchel" - has all the electronics hidden inside a false bottom. A slot has been sewn in for a credit card which conceals an led light and a sensor which acts as a trigger to play the voice recordings. Ms Fischler, 21, said: "As soon as you take the credit card out, it sends a signal and inside the bag we have a whole load of electronics which we coded ourselves using a platform called Arduino. "It receives a signal when you take the credit card out and it tells the circuit board that the credit card's moved and it starts to play sequences from our recordings." The students said at first the bag tried to deter you from spending money, saying things like "Don't you think that's a bit much?" and "Oh, not again". After a while the bag assumes you have made the purchase and starts to "publicly embarrass you". However, if you put the credit card back right away it rewards you with a gruff: "I knew you could 'ear me". Ms Smith, 21, told BBC Scotland they had been asked to make a project with an "element of whispering". She said they had designed the bag as a concept, rather than hoping it would be manufactured for the mass-market. "We're all passionate about using design to create change and starting conversations," she said. "We want people to see it and interact with it."

She took power over the weekend following the death of 78-year-old President Bingu wa Mutharika, who died in office after heading up the southern Africa country since 2004. Mr Mutharika's decision to appoint her as his running mate for the 2009 elections surprised many in Malawi's mainly conservative, male-dominated society - which had never before had a female vice-president. Equally surprising was her decision to publicly stand up to her boss - by refusing to endorse his plans for his brother, Foreign Affairs Minister Peter Mutharika, to succeed him as president in 2014 when he was due to retire. She was promptly thrown out of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party - and subjected to daily doses of derision at public rallies and on Malawi's state airwaves. A senior ruling party official openly said Malawi was "not ready for a female president", while First Lady Callista Mutharika said Mrs Banda was fooling herself that she was a serious politician - saying she was a mere market woman selling fritters. "She will never be president, how can a mandasi [fritter] seller be president?" Mrs Mutharika said. Mrs Banda took all this in her stride, saying she was glad to be identified with market women since more than 80% of Malawian women belong to that category: "Yes, she's right, I'm indeed a mandasi seller and I'm proud of it because the majority of women in Malawi are like us, mandasi sellers." She also resisted calls for her to resign as the country's vice-president - she was elected not appointed so she could not be fired by Mr Mutharika - and instead set up her own People's Party. Born in 1950 in the village of Malemia near the southern town of Zomba, Joyce Hilda Ntila was the eldest in a family of five children. Her father was the leader of Malawi's police brass band and her youngest sister, Anjimile, ran pop star Madonna's charity Raising Malawi until it closed in December. She left her first husband in 1981, taking her three children with her, because he was abusive. "Most African women are taught to endure abusive marriages. They say endurance means a good wife but most women endure abusive relationship because they are not empowered economically, they depend on their husbands," she told the BBC about her decision. Eight years later, Mrs Banda founded the National Association of Business Women, a group that lends start-up cash to small-scale traders - making her popular among Malawi's many rural poor. That work also earned her international recognition - in 1997, she was awarded, along with former Mozambican President Joachim Chissano, the US-based Hunger Project's Africa Prize for Leadership for the Sustainable End of Hunger. She also set up the Joyce Banda Foundation, a charity that assists Malawian children and orphans through education - she has a degree in early childhood education. Joyce Banda cut her teeth in politics in 1999 when she won a parliamentary seat on the ticket of the former ruling United Democratic Front. She held a number of cabinet positions under former President Bakili Muluzi and Mr Mutharika during his first term. She puts her achievements down to her happy marriage to retired Chief Justice Richard Banda with whom she has two children. "My dear husband, Richard, has been the driving force behind my success and rise to whatever level I am now. My story and legacy is incomplete without his mention," she said. Mrs Banda's presidential challenges are huge: Aside from handling political divisions and possible opposition from Mr Mutharika's allies, she has to address Malawi's serious economic difficulties. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, with an estimated 75% of the population living on less than $1 (60p) a day. And former President Mutharika fell out with most of Western donors - on which the country depends for financial support. The cutting off of direct aid resulted in the country's worst shortages of foreign currency, fuel and essential drugs. But she has immediately made her mark - sacking Malawi's police chief Peter Mukhito, accused of mishandling anti-government riots last year in which at least 19 people were shot dead, and Patricia Kaliati as information minister. In the wake of Mr Mutharika's death, Ms Kaliati had held a press conference saying Mrs Banda had no right to take over as president - despite what the constitution said. The head of Malawi's state broadcaster has also been replaced.
Joyce Banda, who has made history becoming Malawi's first female president and only the second woman to lead a country in Africa, has a track record of fighting for women's rights.

Hornets defender Jose Holebas was sent off in the 88th minute before Niclas Eliasson increased the visitors' lead in stoppage time. Adrian Mariappa scored a 95th-minute consolation as Watford fell to their first defeat under boss Marco Silva. The Portuguese made six changes to his side after their league win over Bournemouth on Saturday, while City manager Lee Johnson made nine.

After falling behind, City responded excellently through 18-year-old Hinds' superb strike from distance and Reid's goal eight minutes later.

The synalpheus pinkfloydi uses its large pink claw to create a noise so loud it can kill small fish. The team behind the discovery vowed years ago if it ever found a new pink shrimp it would "honour" the rockers. Sammy De Grave, head of research at Oxford University Museum of National History, said he has been a fan of the band since he was a teenager. And it is not the first crustacean he's named after a rock legend, having already named a species of shrimp after Rolling Stones front man, Mick Jagger - elephantis jaggerai. He said: "I have been listening to Floyd since The Wall was released in 1979, when I was 14 years old. "The description of this new species of pistol shrimp was the perfect opportunity to finally give a nod to my favourite band. "We are all Pink Floyd fans, and we always said if we would find a pink one, a new species of pink shrimp, we would name it after Pink Floyd." The pistol, or snapping shrimp, has an ability to generate sonic energy by closing their enlarged claw at rapid speed. It can reach 210 decibels - louder than your average rock concert - and results in one of the loudest sounds in the ocean. The description of the species, found off the Pacific coast of Panama, has been published in the Zootaxa journal and was co-authored with the Universidade Federal de Goiás in Brazil, and Seattle University in the US.
A new species of shrimp has been named after Pink Floyd thanks to a pact between prog rock-loving scientists.

Charlie Austin put the home side ahead with a penalty after Shane Long was fouled by Martin Kelly's challenge. Saints deservedly doubled their lead through midfielder Jake Hesketh's first goal for the club just after the hour. Connor Wickham had Palace's best chance but failed to latch on to a loose back header from Jose Fonte inside the box. Austin's fourth goal in the space of six days and three games gave Claude Puel's Southampton a deserved lead after half an hour. Palace lost captain Scott Dann early on to a suspected hamstring injury and it was his replacement Kelly who was at fault in the build-up to the opening goal. The central defender failed to control the ball with his chest and as it ran away from him Long gave chase and was tripped inside the box. Long almost netted a goal of his own in the closing stages of the first half when he rounded Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, but his finish lacked power and allowed Damien Delaney to clear off the line. Saints' continued pressure in the second half finally told as they doubled their lead through 20-year-old Hesketh. Long drove into the box and when his shot was saved by Hennessey the rebound broke to Hesketh, who calmly swept a left-footed finish into the bottom corner. Southampton midfielder Jake Hesketh told BBC Radio Solent: "First and foremost we're through in the cup, but to score a (first senior) goal was perfect for me. "It's a bit of a whirlwind really. It's come back to me nicely and then I've just run off. "In my head I'm thinking, 'what am I doing here?' as I wasn't sure whether or not to celebrate with a knee-slide. But, it was brilliant. "It's really nice and you feel really appreciated by the fans and to get a goal for them, I'm really happy. "Training with the lads day-in, day-out is really beneficial. You try to take everything on board and take it into situations like tonight." Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "Shane Long is quick and has got a bit of history in those situations. He was definitely going over, I know that, but the video I saw was inconclusive. "The players felt it (the penalty) was a bit harsh but it was difficult to see unless you see it clearly on television. "The best team won for sure. They were very sharp. Their passing and movement caused us problems. "It is always a risk when you make a lot of changes and we had one or two players that looked a bit rusty. We didn't have enough imagination to find a route to goal." Match ends, Southampton 2, Crystal Palace 0. Second Half ends, Southampton 2, Crystal Palace 0. Offside, Crystal Palace.

Johnston has been at the club for 15 years, serving as chairman for 10. Recently, he has faced pressure to step down altogether from fans who felt his presence was an impediment to attracting potential club investors. "It has been an honour to serve Kilmarnock FC in various capacities over the last 15 years," Johnston said. Meanwhile, BBC Scotland has learned negotiations are continuing between the club and Lee McCulloch and his representative, as Killie look to make him their permanent manager. McCulloch has been in interim charge at Rugby Park since Lee Clark's departure for Bury in February, and successfully kept Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. Johnston is also standing down from the board of the Kilmarnock Community Sports Trust (KCST) on which he represented the club. In a statement, Kilmarnock said: "When Michael took over as chairman and majority shareholder the club had around £13m of debt. "Aided by a number of high value transfer fees which he personally negotiated, Michael gradually reduced this while maintaining the club's competitive position in the top tier of Scottish league football. "In March 2014 Michael completed a transformational restructuring of the club's finances which delivered the arm's length sale of the Park Hotel for full market value, with the proceeds going towards reducing the club's bank debt of £9m. "Billy Bowie acquired the balance of the bank debt and converted this into equity in the club, combined with the permanent write-off by former chairman Jamie Moffat of the balance of his loans to the club, which originally totalled £1.8m. "The outcome was the elimination of almost £11m of debt from the club's balance sheet. "In the wake of that, Michael introduced a new board of directors and stood down as chairman in 2015. He also formed KCST, a registered charity, to run the club's community department in a more financially efficient manner." Troon-born Johnston said the death of his wife Joanne in March hastened his decision to relinquish his positions at the club. "I have been fortunate to meet so many interesting people through football and greatly enjoyed serving on the council of the Scottish FA for over 10 years and the board of the Scottish Premier League during the historic amalgamation with the Scottish Football League in 2013," he said. "There have been many challenges to confront along the way and these have taken their toll on not only me but also my family, to whom I extend my heartfelt thanks for their unqualified support. "The recent loss of my wife Joanne, who was my greatest source of inspiration and encouragement at all times, has prompted my decision to retire from all active duties at the club and I look forward to attending Rugby Park as a committed supporter in future, unburdened of the worries of the past. "I wish Billy Bowie and John Kiltie the very best of luck and good judgement in running the club, ably supported by club secretary Kirsten Callaghan, who was a key member of staff during my time as chairman. "I also wish to record my thanks to all the members of staff, past and present, the shareholders and the supporters who have supported me and the club so enthusiastically over the years. "The club is now in a healthy position to advance in Scottish football and register even greater success."
Former chairman Michael Johnston has resigned from his positions as a director and the company secretary of Kilmarnock.

He told Fox News: "I think President Obama's behind it because his people are certainly behind it", but added: "I also think it's just politics." Mr Trump offered no evidence for his claims and his predecessor in the White House has not commented. The president also spoke about his budget plans and other issues. President Trump's interview was broadcast hours before he is due to give his first address to a joint session of Congress. A senior White House official told the BBC the president would talk about a "renewal of the American spirit", offering an "optimistic vision". In the speech he is expected to set out in greater detail his plans to cut spending and boost the economy. Mr Trump has said his proposal to increase the defence budget by $54bn (£43bn) would be paid for by a "revved up economy". The foreign aid purse and the environmental department face a squeeze to pay for it, but analysts are doubtful the spending promises can be kept without increasing the deficit. The president said he would get "more product for our buck" in terms of buying military hardware and would ask for a "form of reimbursement" from countries making use of the US military. In other developments: In the Fox News interview, Mr Trump was asked about the protests faced by some Republican politicians at town hall meetings across the country. He said he was certain Obama loyalists were behind both those protests and White House leaks. "In terms of him being behind things, that's politics. And it will probably continue," he added. He was asked for more detail on how he would find the money for the 10% increase in military spending he has proposed for 2018. Proposed cuts elsewhere are unlikely to cover the proposed increase. An address to Congress is a different kind of presidential speech. Will the American public see a different Donald Trump? If history is any guide, that seems unlikely. Every time there has been talk of a pivot or shift of focus for candidate Trump, or president-elect Trump, or President Trump, the end result has been the same Donald Trump as always - blustering and belligerent, unvarnished and unapologetic. Mr Trump would be well-served to take a different tack tonight, however. While he's spent his first month in office in a blizzard of activity, issuing executive orders and squelching controversies, there's been little progress with his agenda in Congress. Top-line items like tax cuts and healthcare reform will be heavy legislative lifts with a balky conservative caucus in the House and a narrow Republican majority in the Senate, requiring presidential leadership of a kind not yet demonstrated by Mr Trump. Recent opinion polls have shown the president's standing with the public improving after a dismal first few weeks, but any progress can quickly evaporate if his "man of action" bravado runs headfirst into congressional obstinance. Tuesday night's speech is the president's first major opportunity to avoid that outcome. The White House sent Mr Trump's 2018 budget blueprint, which begins on 1 October, to federal agencies on Monday. The agencies will then review the plan and propose changes to the cuts as the White House prepares for negotiations with Congress. The Republican-controlled Congress must approve any federal spending. Mr Trump's plan is expected to face a backlash from Democrats and some Republicans over the planned cuts to domestic programmes.
US President Donald Trump has said he believes Barack Obama is behind a wave of protests against Republican lawmakers, and national security leaks.

The presenter succeeded Jonathan Ross as host of the revamped weekly show and said leaving "wasn't an easy decision". Winkleman, who also co-hosts Saturday night show Strictly Come Dancing, said the show "simply deserves someone who can give it their all". A new series will return this autumn with the new presenter to be announced "in due course", the BBC said. Winkleman, who lists The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption as her favourite films, said: "I'm incredibly sad about leaving the film show and it wasn't an easy decision. "At this time of year I juggle all kinds of things for TV and radio and the show simply deserves someone who can give it their all." She added that she would miss film critic Danny Leigh, who presents the show alongside her, and the team behind the show. Mark Bell, BBC head of arts commissioning, said: "We've loved having Claudia on Film 2016 and I'd like to thank her for all her hard work and commitment to the show." The long-running film show, first broadcast 45 years ago, was fronted by film critic Barry Norman for 26 years. He was succeeded by Ross in 1999, who stayed at the helm for 11 years. Winkleman will still present the BBC's The Great British Sewing Bee and host a Radio 2 show. After landing the job on Strictly in 2014 when Sir Bruce Forsyth left, the mother-of-three said of her TV and radio commitments, she would "make it work". The 14th series of Strictly gets under way on Saturday evening, with Olympians, actors and singers competing for the glitterball trophy.
Claudia Winkleman has quit the BBC's movie review show, Film 2016, after six years of fronting the programme.

Its Green Budget, which looks at options and issues ahead of next month's Budget, says the UK's finances still have "a long way to go". To meet plans announced in last year's Autumn Statement departmental spending cuts of £51.4bn, or 14.1%, are needed in the next parliament, the IFS said. Cuts in the current parliament are expected to reach £38.3bn, or 9.5%. The IFS said that over the next four years the UK is planning the largest fiscal consolidation out of 32 advanced economies. It would mean public spending falling to its lowest share of national income since at least 1948, and fewer people working in the public sector than at any time since at least 1971. But the report is optimistic about UK growth, estimating zero inflation and 3% growth this year. Andrew Goodwin, senior economist at Oxford Economics and co-author of a chapter in the Green Budget, said: "The prognosis for the UK economy is pretty upbeat", and he predicted "a big turnaround in household finances" over the next year. The Green Budget said that spending cuts so far have been less than planned. Paul Johnson, director of the IFS, said: "Mr Osborne has perhaps not been quite such an austere Chancellor as either his own rhetoric or that of his critics might suggest. "And he has cut departmental investment spending by only half as much as he originally planned. "The public finances have a long way to go before they finally recover from the effects of the financial crisis. "One result is that he or his successor will still have a lot of fiscal work to do over the course of the next parliament." The report said that the high deficit of more than 5% of national income, and total debt of more than 80% of income, is because of poor economic performance at the start of this parliament. But the coalition government has implemented fewer real spending cuts than originally planned, no net additional tax rises have been implemented, and tax revenues have risen slower than expected. There has been no real reduction in spending on social security as the number of pensioners and the generosity of the state pension has risen. The IFS's Green Budget starkly illustrates the central economic choice facing voters in May: bigger cuts with a Tory or Tory-led government; higher public sector debt with a Labour one. The contest stems from their differing approaches to balancing the books. The Tories want an overall surplus by 2018 and surpluses thereafter in all "normal" years; Labour wants balance only on the current budget - that's day-to-day spending, excluding investment - by 2020. The IFS has provided a useful numerical way of understanding Tories' and Labour's conflicting economic visions - which is essentially that the Conservatives believe the imperative is to cut debt and the size of the state, whereas Labour wants potentially bigger budgets for building roads, rail and schools, and for funding the police and prisons. Both parties promise to protect spending on health, education and overseas aid. Read Robert Peston in full here. The IFS said 98% of the remaining consolidation is currently planned to come from spending cuts rather than higher taxes. It says that the three main UK parties could all cut spending by less than is implied by Autumn Statement plans and still hit their fiscal targets. The Conservatives would need to reduce departmental spending after 2015/16 by 6.7% (£24.9bn). And Labour and the Liberal Democrats would need to impose departmental spending cuts of 1.4% (£5.2bn) and 2.1% (£7.9bn) respectively to be consistent with their fiscal targets and stated intentions on tax and benefit policy. But if Labour plans were continued into the 2020s the reduction in total debt would be 9% of GDP, compared with 19% under the Conservatives' proposed overall budget balance.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has said that the worst of the UK's spending cuts are still to come.

Victoria Police posted a public appeal on Monday to locate Daniel Damon who is wanted for failing to answer bail for traffic and drug matters. Damon replied to the post and to a number of other users commenting on the situation. He told police he would turn himself in after getting things "organised". "Can you use a better photo tho. This is a horrible mugshot," said Damon, 25, in response to the warrant. "Hi Daniel, please visit your nearest police station and we'll arrange for a new photo to be taken!" police replied. "Yea I plan on it once I get a few things in order... just gotta organise myself a lawyer and get everything organised," he said. Police describe Damon as 180cm tall (5ft 11in), medium build, with brown hair and eyes and a fair complexion. He also has numerous body tattoos. Senior Constable Melissa Seach told the BBC that police were making enquiries to locate him but he had not turned himself in. She said police officer sometimes used social media as a tool as part of their investigation and it had led to good results in some cases. "This may encourage someone that may know him to call us and provide information anonymously to crime stoppers," she said. Damon's post was commented on by various people with some commending his sense of humour. But most were keen on Damon being brought to justice. "Yes think you may need that sense of humour where your going Danny boy," said Sue Hartley. "This bloke is too arrogant for his own good," said Ajay Conodie.

In Theresa May's letter triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty she states: "We believe its necessary to agree the terms of our future partnership alongside those of our withdrawal from the EU.' But Donald Tusk responded today: "Starting parallel talks on all issues at the same time as suggested by some in the UK will not happen." Bluntly, the divorce bill would have to settled before talks on trade can begin. What's more, only one party to the break-up, the European Council, would decide if the settlement is good enough. This rebuff was always likely, and the Downing Street response restrained - in effect, reminding us we were simply at the beginning of the negotiating process. So no flames fanned, but it may not be long until Theresa May feels the heat. Ahead of a divided Labour Party in the polls, she may be at the zenith of her political popularity. Because now her own party's apparent unity is set to be tested. If some of her own MPs don't like the size of any proposed financial settlement, they may not only suggest it's better to walk away with no deal, but attempt to apply pressure to this end. That in turn might lead to the largely self-muting Remainers in her ranks to find their voice. And there are more time bombs in Tusk's draft guidelines. If Theresa May wants a transitional deal, she will have to accept a "supervisory" regime for a time - presumably the European Court of Justice whose jurisdiction she wants to end. So UKIP are likely to claim by the next election that we are still "half-in, half out". And with the EU refusing to do a final trade deal until after the UK has left, it may be difficult for her to demonstrate the benefits of leaving - allowing the Liberal Democrats to claim we should never have cast aside single market membership in the first place. It's an old political adage but one with which Theresa May will be familiar: "you cannot please all of the people all of the time." But she may find it a challenge to please some of the people some of the time, even in her own party.

Mutations of the NR5A1 gene were found in a small percentage of infertile men, reports the American Journal of Human Genetics. Scientists from the Pasteur Institute in France and University College London said it could help doctors investigating men with the condition. A UK expert said he hoped that further gene defects could be found. In the majority of cases, doctors can find no cause for male infertility, despite it accounting for up to half of cases in which couples have difficulty conceiving. Male infertility appears to be more common within certain families, and this leads scientists to believe that there may be a genetic root for some cases, but only a handful of gene mutations which might be responsible have actually been found. The latest research looks at a gene already known to be involved in sexual development in both men and women - defects in NR5A1 have been linked to physical defects in the development of the testicles or ovaries. Their findings suggest that, even where there is no physical evidence of a problem, defects in the gene may be hampering the ability to make sperm. They looked at the gene in 315 apparently healthy men who had an unexplained inability to produce sperm. From this group, they found mutations in the gene in just seven, and closer examination revealed the men had altered levels of sex hormones and, in one case, mild abnormalities in the cellular structure of the testicles. The research authors, from the UCL Institute of Child Health in London and the Institut Pasteur in Paris, said: "We conclude that approximately 4% of men with otherwise unexplained failure to produce sperm carry mutations in the NR5A1 gene." Although the find would affect only a small proportion of infertile men, other specialists believe that other similar discoveries could help build up a clearer picture of the origins of the condition. Dr Allan Pacey, a senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said that there was still "embarrassingly little" known about the genetics behind male infertility. "Given the complexity of the sperm production process it is likely that many genes are involved and therefore that may gene defects linked to infertility may be found. "Although this gene defect affects only a small number of men, we need more studies like this so that we can fill in the gaps in our knowledge and possibly one day build a robust diagnostic test for male fertility based on genetics."
A faulty gene could help explain some cases of unexplained male infertility, according to research.

Arlene, who was 15 and from Castlederg in County Tyrone, went missing after a night out in County Donegal in 1994. The main suspect in her disappearance, Robert Howard, died in prison last year. Kathleen Arkinson said she she felt police had missed opportunities to question some witnesses. She complained to the Police Ombudsman in 2006 about the police investigation, the inquest heard. She said police searched her house, breaking her door down with a sledgehammer, dug in her garden, and arrested her partner, adding "insult to injury already caused by the lack of investigation". Ms Arkinson also felt Howard's trial in 2005 for Arlene's murder was mishandled because the jury was unaware of his many convictions. She added that after Arlene went missing, false rumours grew worse. "The rumours were that I killed Arlene," she said. "The whole world was talking about it." Later, Ms Arkinson was questioned by counsel for the Police Service of Northern Ireland, who asked if it was the service's "duty to investigate every opportunity to find out what happened". "It should have been," she replied, "but they didn't do it." Ms Arkinson also said she became more protective of Arlene after an incident when Arlene was abused by a man in 1993. The man was jailed for that assault. Their mother had died three years earlier. Ms Arkinson told the inquest of the last time she saw Arlene when she left for a disco in Bundoran, and how she had given her an money to buy chips on the way home. She never saw her sister again. She described confronting Howard and a family, the Quinns, who she believed had taken Arlene to Bundoran, and that she had become convinced they were telling lies over her disappearance. Earlier, the mother of one of Arlene's friends told the inquest she became scared of Robert Howard after he told her he had killed a six-year-old girl. Bernadette Timoney, giving evidence via videolink, said in the years before Arlene went missing she thought Howard was "an evil-looking man with drink in him". "I didn't like the look of him," she later said. "I didn't want to be in his company - he was very scary." She added that she had daughters of her own and wanted to protect them. She also said that two months before she went missing, Arlene had told her she wanted £200 to go to England for an abortion and insisted her family should not know. She said Arlene became hysterical when she asked her if she had gone to get the money from a bank machine with Howard, or if Howard had done anything to her. Ms Timoney said she had not told social services or the police about the incident because she did not want to get involved.
A sister of Arlene Arkinson has told the inquest into her death police did not treat her disappearance with the "seriousness and credence" it deserved.

Shaun Ritchie, 20, was last seen with friends at a remote woodland area near Strichen on the night of Friday 31 October into the Saturday morning. Police Scotland said it had been one of the biggest ever search operations carried out by the force. There was no evidence, said the police, that he had been the victim of a crime. Insp Stewart Drummond said: "The searches carried out to locate Shaun have been extensive and also challenging due to the difficult terrain. "Items of Shaun's clothing were recovered as part of the early stages of the enquiry which would have placed him in the Greenburn area. "If Shaun has walked on from this area, as appears to be the case, we have no indication of the direction he has taken, which compounds further searches due to the size of terrain already searched." He explained: "We have interviewed a number of people, including those who were with Shaun on the night he was last seen. "Although we will always keep an open mind as to the circumstances, there is no evidence to date which would indicate that Shaun has been a victim of any crime. "We understand this is a difficult time for Shaun's family who just want answers and not knowing where he is or what has happened to him is beyond frustration for them. "We are therefore again appealing for any information which may assist us in finding Shaun and ask people to come forward and contact Police Scotland." A CCTV image released earlier showed Mr Ritchie wearing dark grey skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, a grey hoodie and brown trainers.
Police investigating the disappearance of a Fraserbugh man have launched a fresh appeal for information six months after he was last seen.

Captcha checks typically ask people to complete a puzzle that a computer would struggle to complete correctly. They are designed to stop automated bots accessing and using websites. Google's new system tracks how a person interacts with a website to prove they are real, so the puzzles are no longer necessary for most people. Captcha checks are often deployed by concert ticket websites to stop people setting up automated bots to buy all the best tickets. They also appear when somebody is trying to log in to a website with the wrong password, to spot automated attempts. The puzzles present challenges that people find simple but computers can find more difficult, such as: The puzzles also benefit companies such as Google by helping train artificial intelligence algorithms. For example, if Google's AI can not recognise a house number in a photograph taken by a Streetview car, it may add the photo to its Captcha system to get human input. However, genuine users can find the interruption by puzzles a nuisance. Google's reCaptcha system has already simplified the process by asking users to tick a check box on the website they are using. The box monitors how each person has interacted with it, to separate natural human clicks from bots. For example, an automated script might take just a second to fill in a form on a website, and may not move the mouse at all during the process. Google's latest development removes the check box as well, and instead analyses how people have interacted with other elements on a website such as the "submit form" button. However, in some cases "suspicious" activity will still trigger a puzzle.
Website security checks that challenge people to prove they are human are likely to "disappear" in favour of a new system developed by Google.

The suspected bomber was reportedly blown out of the plane in the incident shortly after take-off from Mogadishu. More than 20 people have been arrested in connection with the incident, a government spokesman told BBC Somali. Most of the passengers, including the alleged bomber, were said to have been originally booked on Turkish Airlines. No group has said it carried out the bombing but al-Shabab, part of al-Qaeda, is based in Somalia. Africa Live: BBC news updates Most of the 74 passengers on board the flight to Djibouti were transferred from Turkish Airlines, according to Mohamed Ibrahim Yasin Olad, head of Daallo Airlines, which operated the Airbus 321 that was bombed. "We were informed about the change a few hours before departure time," he told the BBC. Mr Olad said he was told the Turkish Airlines flight was cancelled because of bad weather. Local media had reported that Turkish Airlines had suspended its flights from Mogadishu in December following a failed al-Shabab attack on the airport. Turkish Airlines spokesman Yahya Ustun told Reuters news agency the carrier had cancelled a flight to Mogadishu last week due to atmospheric conditions and said the company would not make any further comment. In the video, a man in an orange hi-visibility vest is shown walking with a man in a blue shirt holding what looks like a laptop. Another man in a hat approaches them and it is alleged that the laptop is handed over. Aviation expert David Learmont, however, is sceptical that the video is all that conclusive. "I don't think that anybody knows for sure if this is the transaction that was behind the bombing," he told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme. The explosion on the Daallo Airlines flight happened about 15 minutes after take-off, when the plane was only at around 11,000ft (3,350m) and the cabin was not yet pressurised. It was able to make an emergency landing at Mogadishu airport. Serbian captain Vlatko Vodopivec said at the time he and others were told the explosion was caused by a bomb. Daallo Airlines flies regularly from its base in Dubai to Somalia and Djibouti. Somalia is battling militant Islamist group al-Shabab that has been carrying out deadly attacks in its quest to establish an Islamic state.
Somali authorities have released a video showing a passenger being given a laptop they say contained a bomb that blew a hole in a passenger plane.

Media playback is not supported on this device The British rivals meet in Group B at Euro 2016 on Thursday (14:00 BST). Last week, 26-year-old Bale said the Welsh had more passion and pride than England, who "big themselves up before they've done anything". "I've been in the game sufficiently long to know every opponent has got an opinion," said Hodgson. "The other day it was [Russia goalkeeper] Igor Akinfeev saying we were the worst seeded team and now it's Gareth Bale. "They can have those opinions but I don't have any doubts personally about our patriotism or desire and that's the important thing. "I would recommend anybody who does have any doubts about players in that respect to watch the game [against Russia] and come to me afterwards and show me where they've seen that lack of passion and lack of patriotism because I certainly didn't see it. "We know who we are, we know what we are. We don't have any doubts about ourselves in that respect." Media playback is not supported on this device England started their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Russia, while Wales beat Slovakia 2-1 in the their first game in a major tournament for 58 years. It was Bale who scored Wales' opener in Bordeaux, and England captain Wayne Rooney is aware of the threat posed by the Real Madrid forward. "I think he is a fantastic player, probably in the top five players in the world," said the Manchester United skipper. "He is the biggest threat for Wales, but I don't think we will go out and man-mark him. "I think we have to go out and play our game. They will have a lot to think about our team, too. I'm sure it will be a fascinating game." England were leading 1-0 against Russia thanks to an Eric Dier free-kick but they had to settle for a 1-1 draw after conceding an injury-time equaliser. The result means they have failed to win any of their last five matches at major tournaments, but striker Harry Kane insisted England fans should remain positive. "We have got great players, we ain't no mugs," said the Tottenham forward. "We are more than confident. We are not going to let this affect us. "On another day it could have been three or four nil. We limited Russia to very few chances and we had plenty. We have got to learn from it, take the positives and prepare for Thursday."
Manager Roy Hodgson says he does not doubt England's "patriotism or desire", in the wake of comments made by Wales striker Gareth Bale.

Richards-Ross, 32, revealed in her new book that she had a termination a day before leaving for Beijing 2008, where she won a gold and bronze medal. She later claimed that every female athlete she knows has had an abortion but the issue is "not talked about". "There is a brokenness there," the American told BBC Radio 5 live. "For me, it was really healing to be able to share that with other friends. "Now I've had other women reach out to me, not just in track and field but all over the world. They've said 'your courage is helping me to heal myself'. That's meant a whole lot to me. "I feel bad because I think people misinterpreted when I said 'everyone I know'. I don't intimately know a lot of women in this sport. "When I started to share my story I was like 'wow', so many women around me have been through the same thing and no matter how close you are, it's something that people don't share." Richards-Ross won three Olympic golds in the 4x400m relay for the USA, with her first and only individual gold coming in the 400m at London 2012. She also claimed seven medals at the World Championships - including five golds - before retiring in 2016. During her career, the Jamaican-American athlete became well-known for her style on the track - which included wearing make-up and nail varnish while competing. She hopes that her image, as well as her sporting achievements, will inspire female athletes in the future. "People ask me 'why do you wear make-up when you run?' and 'why are you so stylish?' and a big part of it for me was to show young girls that you don't have to be butch or masculine to be a great athlete," she said. "I've had so many girls during my career saying 'thanks for making it cool to wear make-up on the track'. My hope is that I've empowered some young women to go towards sports because sport is one of the best life teachers you can have." Richards-Ross' time of 48.70 seconds in the women's 400m is the fastest since 2005. The world record of 47.6 was set by East German athlete Marita Koch in 1985 but there has always been doubt cast over the time. Koch competed during a period when it is known that East Germany was doping its athletes but she has denied any wrongdoing and never failed a test. When asked about doping in track and field, Richards-Ross said: "The more we hear about these horror stories of the best athletes in the world not being clean, it definitely impacts on our sport. "I think the IAAF [International Association of Athletics Federations] needs to go back as far as they have records to ensure the records we are competing against are clean and fair. "I want to see the IAAF do everything they can to make sure the sport is clean." You can listen to the full interview with Emma Barnett on 5 live Daily on Tuesday, 15 August.

She said she was "so proud and excited" about her new role, describing it as "a dream come true". Terry, who has performed at the Globe in As You Like It, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Love's Labour's Lost, will take over from Emma Rice in April 2018. Terry won an Olivier award for her performance in Tribes at the Royal Court in 2010. She also wrote and starred in the Sky One series The Cafe, with Ralf Little. Neil Constable, chief executive of Shakespeare's Globe, said: "Audiences have loved her sparkling and intelligent performances on our stage over the years - now they will have the opportunity to see her fresh artistic vision come to life as she moves into a new phase of her impressive career." Terry most recently starred as the king in Henry V at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, and as Grace in Katie Mitchell's production of Cleansed for the National Theatre. The actor-manager is a role as old as the theatre itself, and is a tried and tested practice at the Globe - with Mark Rylance combining the roles with considerable success during his stint as its artistic director. There is no obvious reason why an intelligent and versatile actress such as Michelle Terry, who is immersed in Shakespeare and the Globe, shouldn't make a success of it too. This is as long as she is free to pursue her creative vision without unwelcome intrusion from a board who made a complete hash of the Rice era. The news comes following the controversial announcement of Rice's departure. She is leaving after the Globe's board decided her methods were not authentic enough. Rice took charge of the London theatre in January 2016 but has come in for fierce criticism, including for her use of sound and lighting technology. Earlier this year Rice wrote an open letter to her successor, in which she claimed the board had sought to impose "a new set of rules that I did not sign up to and could not stand by". Rice is now launching a new theatre company at London's Old Vic. The Globe, which opened in 1997, is a reconstruction of a Shakespearean theatre on London's Southbank.

The Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) study found 15% of people said it happened "most of the time" or "always". Nearly a quarter (23%) had gone without food at least once in the previous year. CAS said its findings showed that debt was "just a fact of life" for most people. Almost half (48%) of the 1,501 Scots who took part in the survey had been forced to borrow money or use credit to buy food. A fifth needed help to pay their rent or mortgage - a figure which jumped to 29% when it came to utility bills. The report also found that more than half (55%) of the people quizzed would be unable to pay a sudden bill of £100 without borrowing, using savings or cutting back on essentials. For a £250 bill, this rose to 69%, and for £1,000 it was 83%. Nearly four in 10 (38%) felt they were "living comfortably" on their income. CAS policy manager Keith Dryburgh said the study showed that debt was not just an issue for people on low incomes. He said: "Many working Scots on reasonable salaries occasionally need to borrow money to get them from one pay day to the next. "While many of these people would not regard this as a crisis situation, our research also finds that many people are vulnerable to financial shocks, like being unable to pay a sudden bill without getting into debt or using savings. "More than half of Scots are not familiar with their rights as debt consumers. "Given that debt is so pervasive in Scotland, we are keen to make sure that people know their rights in relation to debt and also know what options they have if they want to manage their finances better."
More than half of Scots have run out of money before pay day, according to a new report.

The Pontypridd MP, who resigned from the shadow cabinet last month, told the BBC he was "not part of any plot or coup against Jeremy Corbyn" but the leader had rejected compromises he had suggested. "I think that leaves people like me who love this party and want to see a Labour government to put our hat in the ring and say, 'I can heal this party, I can be a credible Labour leader and the next prime minister'." Although the former shadow Work and Pensions Secretary said in January: "Jeremy is going to be taking us into the election in 2020. End of", he said MPs had since lost confidence in Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. Mr Smith will be battling Angela Eagle for the anti-Corbyn vote. She voted for the Iraq invasion. Mr Smith said he was against the war: "I wasn't in parliament at the time. I would have voted against." At the time, he was working as a special adviser to Paul Murphy, who was secretary of state for Wales and Northern Ireland. Three years later, fighting the Blaenau Gwent by-election, Mr Smith told Martin Shipton of the Western Mail : "We are making significant inroads in improving what is happening in Iraq. "I thought at the time the tradition of the Labour Party and the tradition of left-wing engagement to remove dictators was a noble, valuable tradition, and one that in South Wales, from the Spanish Civil War onwards, we have recognised and played a part in." Although the Western Mail said at the time that Mr Smith didn't know whether he would have voted against the war, he later made clear that he would have joined the rebellion against Tony Blair's government. He said on Wednesday he would not vote to hold Tony Blair in contempt of parliament although it was clearly the wrong decision to go to war. His entry into the contest was welcomed by shadow Chancellor and Corbyn ally John McDonnell, although some Corbyn opponents fear that having two "unity" candidates will allow the current leader to survive. Some MPs have suggested either Ms Eagle or Mr Smith should withdraw to maximise the chances of defeating Mr Corbyn although neither shows any sign of being prepared to give way to the other.

The bodies were found on Sunday, but no identities have been released. Two people have been reported missing from a sushi restaurant hit by the blast: Nicholas Figueroa, who was on a date there, and a worker, Moises Lucon. A further 22 people were injured in the explosion and subsequent fire, four critically. Utility inspectors had declared plumbing and gas work inside one of the buildings faulty just an hour before the explosion, locking the line to ensure it would not be used and then leaving, officials said.

Leeds had the better of the first half, but the Brewers came closest to opening the scoring when Ben Turner headed Matt Palmer's free-kick against the bar. Wood put the hosts ahead after the break, firing down the middle from the penalty spot after a trip on Doukara. And Doukara sealed the win in injury time, slotting in after being picked out by Wood on the counter-attack. The result ended Burton boss Nigel Clough's perfect record against Leeds, a team he had beaten in all six of his past encounters in his previous role as Derby manager. The Brewers remain without an away win in the Championship, having been promoted to the second tier of English football for the first time in their history last season. Leeds were always likely to provide tough opposition in the first-ever meeting between the two sides, with their unbeaten record at home now stretched to five matches. Garry Monk's side have climbed to ninth in the table, while defeat for Burton sees them slide to 17th. REACTION: Leeds manager Garry Monk speaks to BBC Radio Leeds REACTION: Burton boss Nigel Clough speaks to BBC Radio Derby Leeds head coach Garry Monk: "It wasn't the best of performances, considering the context of the week we have had. We are not overly happy with the performance but are delighted with the desire to get the win. "I was pushing the players to put on a good performance but I knew it would be hard after Tuesday night. "We showed real character and determination to fight to the end. We had to scrap but we knew we would get chances and it was about taking those chances." Burton Albion manager Nigel Clough: "That's what it's been like for us away from home, things are just not falling our way. "Leeds are a good team and this is a very hard place to come. This season is a great learning curve for the players who are learning all the time. "I thought that we defended and battled well today.

New rules come in on 1 January, which will reduce compensation to £75,000 per person, per institution. Previously the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protected savings of up to £85,000 per account. Joint accounts will see protection cut from £170,000 to £150,000. The maximum compensation across the European Union is set at €100,000, and the British level was reduced as a result of the pound gaining strength against the euro. The precise rate was set on 3 July 2015. At the time, one senior Tory MP described the change as "defective". Although 95% of savers will still be protected, as many as 2.5 million people may not be, according to the FSCS. It is advising savers who have more than £75,000 in one account, or in one institution, to move their money if necessary. The situation is further complicated by the fact that some registered banks and building societies operate under more than one brand. So it you had £75,000 savings with HSBC, for example, any additional savings in First Direct would not be protected, as both banks have a joint licence. Savers using Bank of Scotland and Halifax are in the same position. But Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and NatWest - although they are sister banks - are both registered separately. So savers could safely have up to £75,000 in accounts with both banks. "While this should be quite simple to navigate, it's made complicated by the fact that FSCS cover is shared between banks that operate under the same licence," said Hannah Maundrell, editor in chief of money.co.uk. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publishes a full list of registered banks, and which brands come under the same umbrella. Under the new rules, savers who have up to £1m in their accounts temporarily - as a result of selling a house, or being made redundant, for example - are also protected. To receive compensation, they cannot have had that cash in their accounts for more than six months. A further warning comes in relation to some foreign banks which trade in the UK, but are registered within the eurozone, such as Germany's Fidor Bank, or Sweden's Handelsbanken. Handelsbanken confirmed that the level of compensation would depend on the exchange rate at the time. So depending on how much €100,000 is worth in pounds, savers may get more or less than £75,000 protection. At the time of writing, that amount is worth less than £74,000. "With an increasing number of European banks now offering competitive rates, customers need to be aware that not all savings accounts offered in the UK are covered by the UK compensation scheme," said Rachel Thrussell, savings insight manager at Moneyfacts.co.uk.
Millions of savers are being reminded that they may need to move some of their cash, to guarantee it will be fully protected in the event of their bank going bust.

A fault at the Clydesdale Bank machine in Stewarton Street, Wishaw, meant customers received double the amount of money they keyed in. It is understood about 100 people queued up at the ATM after hearing about the fault at 19:00 on Friday. A spokeswoman for Clydesdale Bank later said the problem had been corrected quickly. She said: "We don't operate our ATMs directly as they are outsourced to other suppliers. "What has happened is that while the machine was being filled, some of the cassettes were placed in the wrong order, meaning that double the amount of money was available." She added she could not confirm the amount withdrawn, because the bank could not reveal how much was kept in any ATM for security reasons. In January, dozens of people took advantage of a cash machine in Fintry Road, Dundee, which also paid out double the requested amount. The machine's operators later said customers would not have to return the extra money.
Cash machine users doubled their money when an ATM started giving out free cash in North Lanarkshire.

During the live stream the woman, who called herself Oceane, said she had been raped, before taking her own life on the tracks at Egly station 25 miles (40km) south of Paris. Periscope, a popular social media app, has been used to chronicle unsuitable content before, including crimes and violence. Oceane's death has led to a fresh debate in France about how to regulate and protect young users of social media. Woman 'live-streamed her suicide on Periscope' It is a sad consequence that this young woman, who wanted her death witnessed by so many strangers, is now the subject of such intense scrutiny. Her phone examined by police; her last moments spooled back from video surveillance cameras at the scene; her story, her life, her remains pored over by investigators, politicians, journalists, and of course the social media audience she pulled into her own death. It's like putting a Ferrari in the hands of a five-year-old. Obviously it's going to slam into a wall" Amid the shock at her death in France, those commentators and journalists are beginning to unpick the role Periscope might have played in her decision, and whether more could have been done to help her. Many make the point that, just like a knife or a hammer, it is not social media itself that is dangerous, but how it is used. Others say the medium itself, where the goal is to accumulate friends and followers, encourages exhibitionism. Twitter, which owns Periscope, said it had removed the content but did not comment on individual accounts. Justine Atlan, president of e-Enfance which campaigns for more child protection online, is in no doubt that sites like Periscope are dangerous, and asks whether Oceane would have taken her own life if she had not been able to stream it live. "It's like putting a Ferrari in the hands of a five-year-old," she told radio station France Info. "Obviously it's going to slam into a wall. What happened is extremely serious and, unfortunately, extremely predictable." Xavier Pommereau, a psychiatrist at Bordeaux hospital, agreed that sites such as Periscope could possibly push someone to commit suicide, because "streaming amplifies the resonance of a phenomenon". Another psychologist, Michael Stora, believes part of the problem is the responsibility placed on the person's friends or followers on social media apps, otherwise known as moderation by your peers. "On Facebook you can say 'I want to die' and you ask your friends to intervene and become psychologists," he told Atlantico website. "We don't talk about it much, but there are a huge number of people who talk about their morbid thoughts, even if they don't necessarily act." Fabrice Mattatia, an expert in digital trust and a former government adviser on digital issues, says the lines of responsibility are sometimes hard to discern. "Internet users who watched the events could possibly face legal action for not assisting a person in danger, but the intention of the subject must be clear and the spectators must have time to realise the intention and call the police." Limiting the spread of these videos, and with it the incentive to use them in this way, is one way to curb the threat, says Fabrice Mattatia. But websites and apps also need to develop alert systems that either do not exist or are little known. "Periscope has an email address for emergencies, it seems, but do users know it? Is it easy to find?" That is the conclusion reached by the well-known digital magazine Numerama, which says sites like Periscope urgently need an "emergency button" to allow users to send information to the police and emergency services. "This issue emerged when people started filming attacks or other crimes on Periscope," it says. "It's all the more urgent for suicide cases like this." Monitoring what happens on social media is a tricky question for France, in the fight again terrorism as well as in cases of crime, or personal tragedy. "I've heard young people say very disturbing things in the name of freedom of speech," says Michael Stora, "but freedom only exists within a framework, and here there's no longer a framework - we are in a crazy place."

The Blue singer, who is in the final of the BBC One competition, said it began after a short tour of Kazakhstan ended in July. "I was a bit gutted at first because the music went quiet," he told Newsbeat. "I didn't have an outlet so I was sitting at home and got myself into a bit of depression." He said he realised the fans could tell he wasn't feeling himself and thought that he needed to tell them. "Hopefully I've done that and now I am just so grateful for this Strictly team," he said. "Even though I have been in a dance-off, they picked me up just before I went out there and danced. "I remember it being an absolute saviour and I can't thank them enough." In an interview with the Daily Mirror earlier this year, he revealed how he had turned to alcohol after Blue's reunion tour finished. He also admitted property losses had led him to bankruptcy and he even thought about suicide. The Strictly finalist said it was then that he realised he was suffering from severe depression. But since appearing on the show, he says he feels things are looking more positive and he is looking towards the year ahead. "Career-wise we've got two albums with Blue next year, we're signed to Sony," he explained. "We've got our own TV show as well which is going to be launched in January, so things are looking very, very good for Blue next year." He will also go on tour with this year's Strictly Come Dancing contestants and could potentially win on Saturday night with dance partner Kristina Rihanoff. "What a great way to end the year, it didn't start off too well but I feel I ended on a high no matter what." Strictly Come Dancing final is on BBC One at 18:30 on Saturday.

They started arriving at Poldhu Cove on the Lizard on Sunday, and National Trust volunteers have been clearing them away as they are said to pose a risk to wildlife. The bottles are sealed, but witnesses say some have leaked. The National Trust said it believed a container had gone overboard from a ship, during the stormy weather. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said: "While it is fact that the MV Blue Ocean lost a container containing bottles of 'Vanish', there is no currently available evidence that the bottles washed up on the Cornish coast are from this container; all evidence is currently circumstantial." It is thought the vessel lost the container near Land's End in May. The BBC has contacted Vanish, but the company is yet to comment. Other nearby coves including Gunwalloe, Polurrian, Church Cove and Marazion have also been affected, conservationists said. Cornwall Wildlife Trust said it was "highly concerned" about the impact on "sensitive marine life". Justin Whitehouse, from the National Trust, said: "The main worry is all that detergent going into our beautiful marine environment, but thankfully most are full. "We think it's a container that has gone overboard from a container ship, during stormy seas." Cornwall Council said the authority and partners, including the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Natural England, would be monitoring beaches in the area. It said: "The National Trust who own the beach at Poldhu have arranged for the bottles to be cleared away. "In the meantime the public are advised to keep children and dogs at a safe distance from the bottles should any more be washed up. "No attempt should be made to recover the bottles."

Fifty-nine people had died up until and including Thursday, and 617 others had been infected, bringing the total affected to 7,359, the ministry added. The news came as the local authorities and relief agencies attempted to get clean drinking water to those areas worse affected by Hurricane Tomas. The storm caused flooding and left eight people dead in western Haiti. The charity, Save the Children, said that in Leogane, the streets had been turned into "rivers" and some 35,000 people had been affected. By Laura TrevelyanBBC News, Leogane The UN estimates 15,000 people in Leogane have been affected by the floods. Amercie lost her home when January's earthquake flattened this small town west of Port Au Prince. And now her tent has been flooded because the river burst its banks. The mother-of-three is sitting opposite Leogane's cemetery, where family tombs lie on their sides, cracked in two by the quake, now surrounded by water. Amercie is worried the combination of dead bodies and stagnant water from the flooding could spread the cholera outbreak to here, where so far no cases have been reported. Next to Amercie, Jean Pierre, a farmer who just planted what he hoped would be a new crop of banana trees and yams, says the flood has washed away his plantation. His childhood home collapsed in January's quake; the house he built afterwards has just flooded. No-one is helping, he says angrily. As we leave, the sun has come out and the flood waters are receding. The market is open, and the merchants are selling fruit and vegetables, trying to make a living as best they can. The BBC's Laura Trevelyan in the town said the water reached her knees, and that people were afraid of the risk of disease. There was also flooding in Les Cayes, Jacmel and Gonaives, while many mountain towns have been cut off by flooded roads and landslides. There was widespread relief on Friday after Hurricane Tomas passed without destroying the tented camps in and around the capital, Port-au-Prince, housing about 1.3 million survivors of January's earthquake. However, attention soon turned to preventing the spread of cholera, which is caused by bacteria transmitted through contaminated water or food, in the unsanitary conditions. Cholera causes diarrhoea and vomiting, leading to severe dehydration, but can kill quickly. It is treated easily through rehydration and antibiotics. A spokesman for the Pan-American Health Organisation, Christian Lindmeier, told the Reuters news agency: "Cholera is a water-borne disease and so additional water means additional risk." "We do expect the infection rate to jump up due to the flooding and to the bad sanitation conditions in many areas," he said. In the town of Saint Marc, in the northern region where the outbreak began three weeks ago, a Cuban doctor in charge of the local hospital said there had been more cases of cholera since the hurricane. BBC Health: Cholera Cholera 'difficult to predict' "The situation here - after the storm - has worsened," Dr Buenaventura Sanchez told the Associated Press. "We are seeing higher numbers [of cases] than in the days before, and we are also seeing cases of cholera with typhoid fever at the same time." Like cholera, typhoid is caught by consuming contaminated food or drink that has been handled by an infected person, or if contaminated sewage gets into water used for drinking or washing food. It can also be fatal if not treated. Gary Shaye, the country director of Save the Children, said thousands of children in Leogane were now at increased risk of diarrhoeal diseases. On Friday, Haiti's government and the United Nations appealed to donors for nearly $19m to cover urgent humanitarian needs.
The death toll from the current cholera epidemic in Haiti has exceeded 500, the country's health ministry has said.

There will then be a huge bridge party in South Queensferry with live music headlined by Scottish rockers Big Country and guests Bwani Junction. The finale will be a fireworks display at 10:06pm in recognition of the bridge's 1,006m span. Tickets for the procession and party, on 13 September, go on sale on Friday. The event will end with a giant outdoor ceilidh, the "Forth Fling". There will be a free shuttle bus as there will be no local parking. The procession is only open to over-16s. The party is open to under-16s if they are accompanied by an adult. The bridge will close to all traffic in both directions at 22:00 for 30 minutes during the fireworks display. Lesley Hinds, convener of the Forth Estuary Transport Authority, said: "The Forth Road Bridge was a huge engineering achievement for Scotland when it opened in 1964, and in the 50 years since it has provided fantastic service, carrying over double the weight and volume of traffic envisaged by the engineers who designed it. The bridge has transformed the economy of the east of Scotland and the lives of millions who now take crossing the Forth for granted. "With the new Queensferry Crossing set to open in 2016, this is a pivotal moment in the history of the bridge." Funding for the event has come from Homecoming Scotland, Edinburgh City Council and Fife Council.
