As flames neared the seaside resort of Calampiso, fishermen and boat-owners were drafted in to aid the evacuation. Matteo Rizzo, the mayor of nearby San Vito Lo Capo, appealed for help from "anyone with safe and reliable boats". Writing on Facebook, he called the situation at the village west of Palermo "very urgent". Evacuees were taken to schools in San Vito, and the mayor urged his "friendly and generous" town to pull together. "We need minibuses and cars to pick people up at the little port and take them to school buildings," he said. "Let's all do something." There are no reports of injuries caused by the Calampiso fire, but witnesses described running to the beach as their accommodation burned. Italian paper La Stampa quoted one evacuated tourist, Stella Belliotti, as saying: "We fled in swimwear and slippers. Our apartment was engulfed in flames. They were right above us. I took my daughter and I went to the beach. They made us go on the boats that go around Zingaro. First women and children, and then the others." Temperatures in Italy's arid south have reached over 40C (104F) after months of little rainfall. Images from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, in the southern region of Campania, show clouds of smoke over a kilometre high pouring into the air near Naples. The national fire service said it was engaged in 441 operations across Italy on Wednesday, including 288 wildfires. Those at Vesuvius are among the most serious. Around 70 firefighters have tackled the huge fire on the ground, alongside Civil Protection volunteers, and three helicopters have been deployed. Environment Minister Gian Luca Galletti said a man had been arrested on suspicion of arson in the area. "If someone set fire to Vesuvius, I want to see them in jail for 15 years," Italian media quoted him as saying. The minister said a decision would be made shortly about whether to send the army to assist the stricken areas. The World Wildlife Fund has warned that thousands of people, animals, and a nature reserve are at risk around the volcano. Italy's government declared a state of emergency last week in response to the drought in the northern provinces of Parma and Piacenza, and opposition politicians are demanding the same for the wildfires.

Around 700 tourists have been rescued by boat from wildfires in Sicily, as swathes of southern Italy battle blazes.

8 March 2016 Last updated at 17:25 GMT Despite equal pay legislation being introduced in 1970 a gender pay gap still exists today. According to the Office of National Statistics, women are still paid 24.6% less than their male counterparts in skilled trades. Video produced by BBC Rewind

Parity is this year's theme for International Women's Day so 46 years after the introduction of the Equal Pay Act, BBC Rewind looks back on the history of the gender pay gap.

They report that a checkpoint manned by local police was attacked in the Mirzawalang area of Sar-e Pul province. The assailants then entered the village and shot dead mainly Shia Muslim civilians including women and children, a spokesman for the provincial governor said. "They were killed in a brutal, inhumane way," he added. He reported that seven members of the Afghan security forces has also been killed, as well as a number of insurgents. A combination of Taliban and Islamic State (IS) group fighters - including foreigners - were involved, he said. Both are Sunni Muslim militant groups. The Taliban denied killing civilians, saying that its fighters had killed 28 members of a government-supported militia in the area. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani condemned the attack. "Criminal terrorists have once again killed civilians, women and children," he said in a statement. "This barbaric act of them is deemed a direct violation of human rights and a war crime." Fighting has intensified across Afghanistan in recent months. More than 1,662 civilians were killed in the half of the year, according to UN figures. Can Afghan military turn tide in Taliban fight? US President Donald Trump is considering whether to increase the number of US troops aiding the military and police in the country. End of Twitter post by @afgexecutive

At least 50 civilians have been killed by militants in northern Afghanistan, officials say.

At Coventry City College, staff more used to teaching hairdressing or construction have been set the challenge of teaching English and maths GCSEs to students who did not achieve the benchmark C grades at school. Achieving C grades in these subjects is crucial for anyone wanting to progress to most vocational courses or apprenticeships leading to a good career. But every year about 40% of candidates fail to meet this standard. Since September 2013, the government has insisted further-education students who did not succeed at 16, study GCSEs in these key skills until they are 18. The hope is that they will eventually pass - and their college funding is conditional on them continuing to try. Reece Beal, by his own admission, switched off during English and maths lessons at school - but now, as part of apprenticeship in coach-making for Arriva, he is flourishing. "At school I didn't achieve the proper level, I couldn't grasp what we were doing, and it wasn't quite explained enough basically," he says. "Here its more one-on-one, so if you are struggling on one area, they focus on that area so you can get better at it." Reece is doing well, perhaps motivated by the knowledge that it will be impossible for him to progress to higher level training or apprenticeships without good grades in these two subjects. For Richard Brooks, a former adviser to the Department for Education and Ofsted, good GCSEs in English and maths amount to vocational qualifications. "If you look at the number of people who are unemployed, or not in any from of training or education, at the age of 19, the most common characteristic of them is they lack that all important GCSE English and maths at C grade," he says. "We have an image of these people being difficult, socially excluded, the Neet [not in education, employment or training] generation. "Actually, most of them are perfectly average. The thing they have in common is that lack of GCSE English and maths." Trainee hairdresser Samantha Richards recently achieved the equivalent of C grades in English and maths through an alternative qualification called Functional Skills. She says she would not be able to cope in her chosen profession without being able to write emails, do stock checking or work out ratios when measuring hair dye. There is also the added bonus of being able to help with her own children's homework in a way she would never have dared before . She says: "My children come to me and ask me for help now. Before I'd shy away from it and say, 'You can do this yourself.' "Now, it's like, 'Yes, course I can. Let's sit down and work it out.'" Colleges are having to try to achieve in two years what schools failed to deliver in a decade of formal education. Coventry City College is getting record numbers of candidates through their GCSEs by radically changing its approach. Two new highly qualified maths graduates have been employed to enthuse both students and lecturers alike, while older teachers such as Andrea Radford, who has taught hairdressing at the college for decades, have had to go back to school themselves. "I think it does help because I've now got an understanding of what they are going through," she says. In the car workshop, Jason Riley, a former road digger training for work in Coventry's automotive industry, says this approach is paying off for him. His tutor, Di Crooks, is a former police officer. "I did go to another college, but they weren't as persistent at teaching the key skills," he says. "It wasn't until I got here, sat down with Di, who said, 'You've got to learn this, this and this.' "Then, I thought, 'I've got to pull my socks up here.' "Di helps me with my maths and English as well as the rest of my coursework." As Di Crooks says, students "need to realise apprentices with these good skills, English and maths, are the ones who are going to progress higher in a job".

As thousands of 16-year-olds in England sit GCSEs in maths and English, BBC education correspondent Gillian Hargreaves goes to meet teenagers trying to achieve good grades second time around.

8 September 2016 Last updated at 15:33 BST The fruit is still attached to the plant and is not yet ripe enough to eat. Austin Grant from Sheffield had been dubious about the suitability of South Yorkshire's climate, but has finally seen some results. "I was literally jumping for joy," the 62-year-old grandfather said.

A gardener has said he was "flabbergasted" that his banana plant has finally provided fruit after nine-years.

The Swedish giant asked customers who bought any model of the Mysingso chair to return it for a full refund. The global recall comes after Ikea received reports from Finland, Germany, the US, Denmark and Australia that users had received injuries to their fingers that needed medical treatment. Ikea's statement said the chair had a "risk of falling or finger entrapment". It said: "After washing the fabric seat it is possible to re-assemble the chair incorrectly leading to risks of falls or finger entrapments. "Ikea has received five incident reports in which a Mysingso beach chair collapsed during use due to incorrect re-assembly. All five reports included injuries to fingers and required medical attention. It added that a full investigation had led to an improved design "to further mitigate the risks of incorrect re-assembly and injuries" and the updated chair would be available from next month. Ikea has more than 300 stores in 27 countries.

Ikea is recalling a beach chair sold in the UK after reports that it can collapse and cause injury.

Former Carrick boss Haveron was appointed Glens supremo this week and could not have asked for a more high-profile first match in charge. Glentoran have slumped to 10th in the table after taking just one point from a possible 15. "We must show how much it means to play in games like these," said Haveron. "Our fans expect the players to show passion and pride and that is how it should be. "We have got to get a bit belief and a win would do that. "The best way to turn our season around would be to beat Linfield on Saturday." Despite being at home, Glentoran will be firm underdogs against David Healy's Linfield who are unbeaten this season. The Belfast Blues sit in second place and are five points behind champions Crusaders with a match in hand. The unbeaten Crues also face a big derby fixture as they host north Belfast neighbours Cliftonville at Seaview. Crusaders have won five league matches in a row while Cliftonville are up to fourth following back-to-back victories. "Cliftonville are back in form and are winning games of football quite well," said Crusaders manager Stephen Baxter. "They are packed full of quality players and have loads of confidence and ability. They will expect to get a result." Ballymena United travel to their fiercest rivals Coleraine looking to make it four wins in a row in the league. They came from behind to beat Glentoran 4-1 last weekend to consolidate third place in the table. "It will be my first experience of a Coleraine/Ballymena derby and we're looking forward to it," said Sky Blues boss David Jeffrey. "They came from two down to draw against Glenavon last week so that is an indication of the character they possess." The fourth derby clash in Saturday's Premiership is at Mourneview Park where Glenavon host Portadown. Final Score from Northern Ireland is on BBC1 NI at 17:00 BST on Saturday

New manager Gary Haveron has called on Glentoran's players to show pride in the shirt as they take on Belfast rivals Linfield on Saturday.

Weston played 19 league and cup games for the Chairboys last season after signing from Southend in June 2016. The 29-year-old has made 327 career Football League appearances, having also played for Charlton, Brentford, Gillingham and Notts County. He is Ebbsfleet's fourth signing since winning promotion from the National League South last season. Details of the length of Weston's contract have not been disclosed.

National League side Ebbsfleet have signed Wycombe winger Myles Weston on a free transfer.

The first minister is one of six UK representatives in Forbes magazine's annual list of the world's most powerful and influential women. A Scottish government spokesman said the list underlined the importance both of the first minister's office and the profile of Scotland as a nation. German Chancellor Angela Merkel topped the list for the sixth year running. Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was placed second, with Janet Yellen, chairwoman of the US Federal Reserve, third. The Queen is 29th, while Ms Sturgeon is 50th overall. The rankings consider influence, media presence, wealth and success at implementing change. The other British women who made the list are Bank of England deputy governor Nemat Shafik at 59, Guardian editor Katharine Viner at 68, Economist editor Zanny Minton Beddoes at 78, and Eliza Manningham-Buller, chairwoman of the Wellcome Trust, at 88. German Chancellor Angela Merkel tops the list for the sixth year in a row - and the 11th time in total. As a central figure in German politics ever since reunification, Ms Merkel has led Germany since 2005 and is a leading force in the European Union. Choosing her for top spot, Forbes noted that "if there is a single leader able to defy existential economic and political challenges to the European Union, from edges and core, it has been Angela Merkel." Hillary Clinton looks set to go head-to-head with Donald Trump for the position of President of the United States in November. Mrs Clinton, who has had previous spells in the White House as first lady to husband Bill and as foreign secretary to current President Barack Obama, is bidding to become the first female President. She has also served as a senator for New York state, and was a leading lawyer, serving as the first female chair of the Legal Services Corporation and the first female partner at Rose Law Firm. Janet Yellen is chair of the Federal Reserve, the central banking system of the United States. Having previously chaired the White House Council of Economic Advisors under the Bill Clinton administration, Ms Yellen took over at the Fed in 2014, and managed the body through its first interest rate rise since June 2006. Forbes said she is known for "steadiness, not inscrutability", lauding her use of "plain sentences and easy logic" despite being "the world's top market-mover". Co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, alongside her former Microsoft head husband, Mrs Gates organised $4.2bn in charitable work and global development in 2015 alone. The foundation has given out $36.7bn in grant payments since it was founded in 2000, with Mrs Gates directing the organisation and in particular championing investments in women and girls around the globe. Forbes said her work had "inspired other big donors and changed the way funders think about effective philanthropy". Mary Barra was promoted from chief executive to president of General Motors in January, having guided the firm to record profits in 2015. Ms Barra has been credited with turning around the fortunes of the American car-making giant, which had to recall 30 million vehicles in 2014 due to faulty ignition switches blamed for at least 124 deaths, by fostering strong domestic sales alongside growth in China. Forbes said her latest promotion was "no surprise", with Ms Barra leading the company on a "noticeable comeback" - and earning herself a compensation package of $28.6m last year.

Nicola Sturgeon has been ranked as the second most powerful woman in the UK, behind only the Queen.

The find, which spans adjacent blocks operated separately by the two companies, has been flow-tested at a maximum rate of 5,350 barrels per day. The discovery has been called Marconi by GDF Suez subsidiary GDF Suez E&P UK, while BP has named it Vorlich. GDF Suez E&P UK managing director Ruud Zoon described the discovery as "encouraging". He said: "The discovery is our third successful well this year and demonstrates a continuing commitment by GDF Suez to an active exploration and appraisal drilling programme on the UK Continental Shelf." GDF Suez has already built up more than 50 licences in the Central and Southern North Sea and West of Shetland. The company employs more than 300 staff and contractors in offices in London and Aberdeen. BP, along with co-venturers, is undertaking a £10bn investment programme in the North Sea. It has undertaken to spend more than £7bn of that sum in the next five years. Trevor Garlick, regional president of BP North Sea, said: "As BP marks its 50th year in the North Sea and as the industry looks to maximise economic recovery from the basin, increasing exploration activity and finding new ways to collaborate will be critical to realising remaining potential. "This discovery is a great example of both." Industry body Oil & Gas UK welcomed the new discovery. Operations director Oonagh Werngren said: "At a time when exploration in the UKCS (UK Continental Shelf) is facing severe investment and cost pressures, it is heartening to see two UK explorers apply their expertise to understand the risks of the CNS (Central North Sea) and demonstrate that there are still significant economic plays to be developed within the basin. "Going forward, the UKCS needs to secure substantial investment and increase exploration, and this will come both through an improved fiscal regime and better technical understanding of the basin." The UK government's Business and Energy Minister Matthew Hancock said: "We are determined to have set the right fiscal and regulatory regimes to make sure we can get the maximum possible economic extraction of oil and gas from the North Sea. "This discovery shows exactly what can be achieved in the North Sea if companies work together to maximise the considerable potential of remaining oil and gas reserves." The SNP said the discovery raised "serious questions" over the "scaremongering on oil revenues" by pro-Union politicians ahead of last month's independence referendum. Scottish Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said: "This discovery is another great example of the huge potential the future holds for the North Sea. "With more effective collaboration, increased exploration activity and a commitment to maximising economic recovery, the overall value that the industry continues to generate for the wider economy can also be maximised. "It is critical that current reforms to the regulatory and fiscal regimes applying in the North Sea are expedited and prioritised with a view to ensuring the economic viability of projects such as these, and to realising the opportunities for development of the vast remaining resources in the North Sea."

Oil firms BP and GDF Suez have announced the discovery of a new field in the UK Central North Sea.

The Welsh county won three of 16 games in the County Championship Division Two last season and failed to make progress in the limited overs competitions. Mott is in the third and final year of contract as Glamorgan's head of elite performance. "You do feel in the third year that you should see the fruits of your labour," said Mott. "We have built a squad over the last couple of years and this is the year where we should be looking to improve a helluva lot. "Last year, we made some improvements towards the back end, but it was too little, too late. "This month of April is very important for everyone at the club and in Wales. We have to start to show what we have got." Glamorgan lost James Harris, who is one of four uncapped players in England's ICC Champions Trophy provisional squad, after he agreed to join Middlesex on a three-year contract at the end of last season. Veteran Robert Croft also retired after 23 seasons with the Welsh county. Seam bowler Harris triggered a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave Glamorgan, who gave him his first-class debut as a 16-year-old in 2007, if the Welsh county were not in the top tier. Mott has returned from a 10-day pre-season tour of South Africa with Glamorgan and is convinced his squad are ready to learn the lessons of last seasons's disappointing campaign. "We need to improve across the board," said Mott. "A realistic goal is to win more games than we lose and we didn't get close to that last year. "If we get close to that, just like any side in this division, it can come down to the last couple of games and you are challenging, but we have to start the season better. "We finished well last season but our start really killed us and our promotion aspirations." Glamorgan have added Australian bowler Michael Hogan and Zimbabwean batsman Murray Goodwin to their squad this year. Australian Marcus North is to lead the one-day side, while his countryman, pace bowler Dirk Nannes, has been signed to play in the Friends Life T20. On Friday, Glamorgan play their final pre-season friendly with a three-day match against Cardiff MCCU. Their first game of the season is against Northamptonshire in the County Championship in Cardiff on Wednesday.

Glamorgan chief Matthew Mott says he expects his side to secure vastly improved results this season.

Deputy Defence Minister Anatoly Antonov said Turkey was the biggest buyer of "stolen" oil from Syria and Iraq. Mr Erdogan said Russia had no right to "slander" Turkey with such claims. Russia and Turkey have been locked in an angry dispute since Turkey shot down a Russian jet last month. Russian President Vladimir Putin has already accused Ankara of downing the plane on its Syrian border to protect oil supply lines. "According to available information, the highest level of the political leadership of the country, President Erdogan and his family, are involved in this criminal business," Mr Antonov told journalists in Moscow. "The Turkish leadership has demonstrated extreme cynicism. Look at what they are doing!" he said. "They have invaded the territory of another country and are brazenly plundering it." The defence ministry cited satellite images that it said showed oil tankers travelling from IS-held territory to Turkey. The trucks, it said, travelled to three locations - including refineries - in Turkey and some was then moved on to a third country. Russia said it was producing only "part of the evidence" for now and did not provide direct proof of their claim that Mr Erdogan and family were involved. US officials have previously said they have information suggesting Turkish "middlemen" were involved in the illegal IS oil trade. The Turkish authorities have made commitments to tackle smuggling on their territory. Despite the tensions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said he is prepared to meet Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu at a conference in the Serbian capital Belgrade this week. Mr Lavrov said he was willing to "hear what Mr Cavusoglu has to say", in comments broadcast on the Rossiya 24 news channel. It would be the first time the men have met since the downing of the jet. Turkey said the Russian SU-24 fighter plane intruded into its airspace and ignored repeated warnings to leave. The two sides have important economic ties, and in the wake of the incident Moscow imposed visa requirements for Turkish visitors, and placed restrictions on trade with Ankara.

Russia's defence ministry has accused the family of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of being directly involved in the trade of petroleum with the Islamic State group.

Flames could be seen shooting from the roof of Scotway House, close to the city's Riverside Museum, after the fire broke out on Friday evening. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sent a number of appliances to the scene. There were no reports of injuries, and the nearby Riverside Museum was not damaged. Scotway House is located on a large plot of wasteland west of Yorkhill Park. It was built in 1885 as a drawing office for ship building firm D&W Henderson at the Meadowside Shipyard, and is a category B-listed building. The building has been empty for about 20 years. Since the doors were closed it has been considered for a pub and restaurant development and a music venue. Last year plans were submitted to convert the building as part of a student housing development on the site. The Glasgow Harbour area is currently undergoing a major redevelopment.

Firefighters have put out a major blaze which swept through a derelict listed building in Glasgow.

Oil prices suffered a second year of steep losses and are expected to take at least another year to clear as the international surplus continues. The Dow Jones was down 178.84 points or 1.03%, at 17,425.03. The S&P 500 was down 0.95% at 2,043.86, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite was 1.15% lower at 5,007.41. The oil price collapse sent global markets reeling throughout 2015. Shares of US oil giants Chevron and Exxon Mobil were down 0.17% and 0.22% respectively for the day. Energy stocks have taken a beating this year, with the S&P energy sector losing nearly 24% in the last twelve months. For the year the S&P 500 was down 0.7% while the Dow Jones ended 2.2% lower. The Nasdaq, however was a bright spot closing 5.7% higher for 2015. Trading volumes were thin on the last day of the year. Apple was down 1.92% weighing on the Nasdaq. McDonald's was down 1.08% at $118 and weighed on the Dow the most. Stocks were led lower as US jobless claims increased by 20,000 to 287,000 last week, wildly missing forecasts of 270,000. Brent crude oil was up 3% at $37.60 per barrel for the day but down 35% over the year. US light crude was 1.2% higher at $37.04 but down 30% for the year.

Brownhill made only six appearances for North End last season, but scored three goals in 27 games on loan at League One play-off winners Barnsley. The 20-year-old rejected a new contract offer from Preston, who will be owed compensation for the move. "As well as being a good footballer he's also a fantastic character," said City head coach Lee Johnson. "He is a young, hungry, sought-after player who is experienced beyond his years in modern day football, and we've beaten off competition from other clubs to get him."

Bristol City will sign midfielder Josh Brownhill from Preston at the end of his current contract on 30 June.

The woman, who has not been named, was operating a paramotor - a motorised paraglider - when she had a "very close encounter" with an Airbus A400M near Andover, Hampshire, in July, the UK Airprox Board (UKAB) said. She told investigators "she thought she was going to die". The UKAB assessed the incident as having the most serious degree of risk. The woman, who was taking part in a training weekend with the British Paramotor Team at the time, "turned abruptly to the right" after spotting the aircraft, which was flown 600ft (183m) from her, the report said. The A400M pilot, who was approaching Boscombe Down Airport in Wiltshire, said he did not take any avoidance action when he saw the woman as "it was quickly apparent" she would pass down the left hand-side of his aircraft. Investigators concluded that both pilots "shared an equal responsibility for collision avoidance". They added that "providence had played a major part" in the woman escaping unhurt. A member of the board stated that there was a "very real risk" from the wake turbulence caused by the aircraft and concluded that "the paramotor pilot's concerns about the risk posed were justified".

A paraglider feared for her life during a near miss with a military transport aircraft, a report has said.

Robinson, 21, who previously had two loan spells at the Lilywhites, turned down a new deal with Villa and joins for an undisclosed compensation fee. Newcastle-born former Rotherham man Pringle, 26, signs for an undisclosed fee after one year with the Cottagers. Pringle made nine league starts during a short loan spell at Ipswich in 2016. Robinson told the club's website: "It was obviously a big decision for me leaving Aston Villa, I've been there since I was eight-years-old. "But, if there was ever a club for me to settle down with and sign permanently with, it would be Preston North End." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Championship side Preston North End have signed Aston Villa forward Callum Robinson and Fulham midfielder Ben Pringle, both on three-year contracts.

The County Down school led 0-9 to 0-4 at half-time and extended their lead to six points by the conclusion. Rian O'Neill top-scored for the winners with 0-7, while Cian McConville contributed 0-2. Tiernan Kelly recorded three points for St Ronan's. St Mary's Magherafelt and St Paul's Bessbrook must replay their semi-final. The schools played out a 1-12 to 1-12 draw in the opening semi-final at the Dub on Wednesday and are set to meet next week at a venue still to be finalised.

St Colman's Newry progressed to the MacRory Cup final by beating St Ronan's Lurgan 0-14 to 0-8 in Thursday night's semi-final at the Athletic Grounds.

The shelter - in a hollow left behind by a fallen tree - at Blick Mead was used over a 90-year period from 4336 BC, it is believed. Archaeologist David Jacques, said: "They... used the stump of the tree, about three metres high, as a wall." The finds are being shown to United Nations heritage experts, who are currently visiting Stonehenge. Archaeologists are concerned a planned 2.9km tunnel being considered for the nearby A303 main road will damage the site. Discoveries have also shown stones were warmed up by the Mesolithic Period inhabitants and used in a hearth to emit heat in the earthy snug. Mr Jacques, a senior research fellow at the University of Buckingham, has worked at Blick Mead for over a decade, making a number of discoveries about the inhabitants. The tree stump created a wall height similar to a "modern bungalow". "They've draped probably animal skins or thatch around the basin and connected it to a post so it's a very comfortable snug little place," he said. The wooden wall of the hollow was lined with flints and the large earthy pit created by the tree root lined with cobbles and decorated with "exotic" stones from outside the area. "There are some clever and sophisticated things going on, the hot stones that they put into this little type of alcove wouldn't have been on fire," explained Mr Jacques. "It looks more like these people have been using these hot stones as a type of storage heater so that you've got a lot of warmth coming off them." Mr Jacques will meet the UN experts later to ask for the route to be moved closer to Salisbury and for hydrological assessments to be made. "It's very likely the water flow would be reduced in and around the site," he said. "It would take out all the organics and destroy all the animal bone we've been finding which is crucial for finding where they have been living and for getting radiocarbon dates from all the organics like pollen and wood. "This is massively important for reconstructing what the landscape would have looked like." Andy Rhind-Tutt, former mayor and chairman of Amesbury Museum and Heritage Trust said: "I sincerely hope the team delivering the long-awaited A303 improvement look seriously at an alternative alignment south of Salisbury and away from this unequalled archaeological landscape. "It would be criminal to destroy such a rich heritage and connection with our ancestors for the sake of blocking the view to the passing public of Stonehenge."

A 6,000-year-old "eco-home" has been discovered close to Stonehenge, archaeologists have revealed.

The ex-Bury player scored from close in, just as the visitors looked set to hold on for an unlikely point. Stefan Scougall hit the bar as the Blades dominated before Jacob Mellis was sent off for a foul on Matt Done. They had two second-half efforts cleared off the line and Leon Clarke had a goal disallowed before Greg Leigh was sent off for a second yellow. The win kept United in second place in League One, six points off leaders Scunthorpe, while Bury are just two points off the relegation places after their ninth consecutive league defeat.

City council leader Lib Dem Simon Cook will tell a conference an arena on the site of the old diesel depot site is a crucial part of the zone. He stressed although it was early days potential operators believe its size would attract many good quality shows. Mr Cook said there was a risk a larger version would be built in Cardiff if the Bristol arena did not go ahead. "We've fallen behind Cardiff too often in the past. It is really time to grab the opportunity and go for it. "There is a very big interest in an arena for Bristol... we're absolutely determined to deliver it," he added. It is believed the arena would cost up to £80m to build, some of which will come from the government's City Deal fund. Several plans for an entertainment arena have been put forward since 2003 but the idea was dropped in 2007 when costs rose to £86m. Then in 2009, plans for a 15,000-seater music and sport venue were proposed with a second site at Ashton Vale close to where Bristol City Football Club wants to build a new stadium. The city's biggest music venue is the famous Colston Hall, which can hold about 2,000 people.

A 12,000-seater music venue on the Temple Meads Enterprise Zone in Bristol is possible by 2016, the council says.

The FTSE 100 company said it would not be able to afford the rising cost of its contribution to the pension plan from 2018. The move will affect 90,000 members of the defined benefit scheme. Unite will consider strike action if Royal Mail does not "respond positively", and the CWU said "unagreed" changes would face a ballot. Royal Mail wants members of the scheme to change to a defined contribution plan - in which the company and staff contribute to a pension pot with no guarantee of how much the eventual payment will be. The Royal Mail pension plan currently has a £1.7bn surplus but Royal Mail forecasts that it will run out in 2018 and that continuing contributions under the existing arrangement is "not affordable". It currently contributes £400m a year but forecasts this will rise to more than £1bn in 2018. It said: "With our unions, we have been actively exploring possible changes to potentially enable us to keep the plan open on a defined benefit basis after March 2018 as part of our pension review process. "We will continue discussions with our unions during and after the consultation. We will carefully consider feedback and any affordable proposals that members or their representatives make." However, Unite said the consultation was a "cause for concern" and said it would look to mitigate the impact of any proposed changes during and after the consultation process. Brian Scott, national officer of Unite said: "The consultation is complex and the company needs to ensure that its employees, our members, clearly understand the potential impact on them, and the reasons and justification for the proposed changes." He added: "It is too early to make any pronouncements on industrial action, but if the company does not respond positively on this and other issues we cannot rule this out." Terry Pullinger, deputy general secretary postal at the CWU, said: "So we move from shadow boxing to the ring and negotiations will now begin in earnest, and the CWU is fully committed to developing an agreed solution which maintains the pension promise of a wage and dignity in retirement. "However, any attempt to introduce any unagreed change by the business would be met with an industrial action ballot." Shares in Royal Mail were down 2% to 454p.

Royal Mail has begun a consultation over changes to its pension scheme amid threats of strike action from unions.

Scolari, 65, won the tournament in 2002 but the hosts could only finish fourth at this year's event. Brazil were thrashed 7-1 by Germany in the semi-finals then lost 3-0 to the Netherlands in the play-off. "Luiz Felipe Scolari and his fellow coaching staff surrendered their positions to the board," the CBF confirmed in a statement. "Scolari and his entire coaching staff deserve our respect and gratitude. "They were responsible for returning to the Brazilian people your love for the national team, despite not having achieved our greatest goal." Scolari's contract was set to expire after the tournament, but the CBF vice president Marco Polo del Nero last week offered the manager his full backing following the humiliating last-four defeat by Germany. However, Scolari himself had offered no assurances about his position in the wake of what he called "the worst day of my life". I'm not sure how much he has quit and how much he has been pushed but from the minute that fifth Germany goal went before the half-hour mark, he was already the ex-coach of Brazil. It's impossible to preside over an extraordinary, historic humiliation of that magnitude and carry on as coach of Brazil. Scolari first took over the Brazil side in 2001 and guided them to World Cup success a year later, beating Germany 2-0 in the 2002 final in Yokohama, Japan. But after spells in charge of Portugal, Premier League side Chelsea, Bunyodkor of Uzbekistan and Brazilian club Palmeiras, he resumed control of the national team in 2012. Brazil hosted and won the Confederations Cup in 2013, beating Spain 3-0 in the final, and were favourites to win a sixth World Cup. They finished top of their group after two wins and a draw from their three matches, before edging past Chile on penalties in the last 16. They beat Colombia 2-1 in the quarter-finals, but lost top goalscorer Neymar to a spine injury and captain Thiago Silva to suspension. In the semi-final, Brazil were 5-0 down to Joachim Low's Germany after only 29 minutes, before losing 7-1 - their joint-heaviest loss ever and first home competitive defeat for 39 years. Vice president Del Nero is scheduled to take over from CBF president Jose Maria Marin next year, which could mean a delay in the naming of a successor to Scolari - Brazil Under-23 coach Alexandre Gallo has been suggested as an interim caretaker. Those expected to be in contention for the full-time job include former Corinthians boss Tite, Muricy Ramalho of Sao Paulo and ex-Brazil boss Vanderlei Luxemburgo - all of whom were in the running after Scolari's predecessor, Mano Menezes, was sacked. Bayern Munich's Spanish coach Pep Guardiola was linked with the job before taking charge of the German champions, but Brazil have never appointed a foreign manager.

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has resigned, the country's football federation (CBF) has confirmed.

Maria Carreiro, 51, said she "ran down the street like a crazy woman" after her daughter looked online and discovered the award's true size. Among her plans for the winnings were a Hawaii honeymoon after 30 years of marriage and a larger house. Ms Carreiro had worked at a factory before quitting to raise her children. She said her husband had already left his job. "I couldn't believe it," Ms Carreiro told reporters. "I was shaking and just couldn't believe that it was real." Ms Carreiro bought the LottoMax ticket for a Friday drawing and checked her ticket at the store on Saturday morning. She realised her multi-million dollar mistake when she returned home to tell her family. According to Ontario Lottery and Gaming, 60% of winners of more than C$1m paid off debts, 56% took a vacation, 36% bought a new house and 43% either retired, changed jobs or quit.

A Toronto woman celebrating what she thought was a 40,000 Canadian dollar ($39,428; £26,000) lottery prize had in fact won C$40m, officials have said.

The warning comes as the Scottish curry industry will celebrate its annual awards ceremony in Glasgow on Monday. The rules prevent non-EU chefs being employed if a restaurant offers a take-away service. The UK government said this was designed to drive innovative cuisine. But industry sources say it has led to restaurants closing because they cannot recruit skilled chefs. The rules, laid down by the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) and the Home Office, are part of the Tier 2 visa scheme, which allows workers of sufficient skill levels to be employed on the Shortage Occupation List. They must be paid at least £29,570 a year, and to meet the criteria the job must also not be in a fast food or "standard fare" outlet, or an establishment which provides a take-away service. But Ajmal Mushtaq, who runs a restaurant in Hamilton providing up to 3,000 meals a week, said that was "total insanity". Holding two portions of a curry - one on a plate, the other in a take-away carton - he said: "Here is a chicken tikka chasni, one of our top selling dishes. "What the government are saying is: if I put that same dish into a container, I'm not allowed to bring expert chefs over from India. "The quality is the exact same." Mr Mushtaq said the restriction meant that plans to expand his restaurant have been put on hold. He currently employs three Indian-born chefs who have been in Scotland long enough to qualify for permanent resident status, but wants to increase his staffing. "As a result of bringing over three chefs a few years ago, I have been able to create 52 jobs in this business," he said. "We are at the point of expanding our business. If I were to bring over another two chefs, I would be able to increase the number of employees up to 95 in this one establishment alone." The industry has been putting pressure on the government to review its rules, particularly in the wake of the Brexit vote, which it sees as offering an opportunity to workers outwith the EU. International Development Secretary Priti Patel, who campaigned for a Leave vote said during the campaign, said it was a "travesty" that curry houses were subjected to a "second class UK immigration system" in comparison to EU chefs. With a growth in online apps such as Hungry House and Just Eat promoting home delivery of food, Hans Ram, chief executive of the catering recruitment agency Goldstar Chefs, said the government approach to the Indian restaurant sector was wrong. "They have totally misunderstood and misconceived the industry as being a low-paid, low-skilled jobs base. Which it is not," he said. "The biggest consequence to this is actually the skills erosion - erosion of authenticity. "It is affecting the product that the public are being served." He also pointed out that the Indian restaurant sector in the UK is worth an estimated £4bn a year.

Indian restaurants are closing in Scotland because strict immigration curbs mean it is difficult to recruit top chefs from the Indian sub-continent, it has been claimed.

Labour's Jeremy Corbyn said there was a "disconnect" between the government's rhetoric and its actions and that HMRC's budget had been cut. The SNP's Angus Robertson said 10 times more officials were investigating welfare fraud than tax evasion. The PM said the figure sounded "bogus" and HMRC staff numbers were going up. The PMQs clash was the first since a huge leak of documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca revealed how some wealthy people use offshore firms to dodge tax and avoid sanctions. BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the tax debate's prominence in the Commons showed how much of a big issue it had been, with opposition parties determined to "hang it around the prime minister". Mr Corbyn focused all his questions on tax, saying Conservative MEPs have voted against new EU-wide country-by-country reporting measures, while the government had cut tax official jobs and shut down tax offices. The PM said the new reporting measures were "based on the work we've been doing" and had been proposed by the UK's commissioner, Lord Hill.. The leaders also traded blows over how transparent overseas territories would have to be under the new regime. Mr Corbyn said the Cayman Islands premier was "celebrating victory" because beneficial ownership information would not be available publicly or directly to UK agencies. The PM said overseas and crown dependencies would provide beneficial ownership information, but would not make the information public because otherwise some might have "walked away from this co-operation altogether". Mr Cameron, who has faced questions about his own tax arrangements and his father's offshore investment firm, aimed a joke at Mr Corbyn's recently-released tax return, saying the "late, chaotic, inaccurate and uncosted" document was a metaphor for Labour Party policy. Mr Corbyn hit back, saying he paid more tax than companies owned by people Mr Cameron "might know quite well". Green Party MP Caroline Lucas also asked the PM about tax, questioning how effective the investigation into Mossack Fonseca in the UK would be.

The Panama Papers tax revelations dominated Prime Minister's Questions, with David Cameron defending the action taken from opposition attacks.

The only goal of an entertaining game came from Reuben Reid in the fifth minute after Jordan Moore-Taylor's long ball was needlessly handled inside the penalty box by Jake Carroll. Although Reid saw his penalty saved by David Forde, the ball came straight back to him to tap in the rebound. David Wheeler saw a header come back off the inside of the post, while Cambridge almost levelled when Exeter goalkeeper Christy Pym completely missed a kick, but he managed to get back to scramble Luke Berry's shot off the line. Liam McAlinden then missed a golden chance for Exeter, heading wide from six yards, before Lloyd James skied another glorious chance for Exeter high from 10 yards with just Forde to beat. McAlinden skied another great chance high shortly after half-time before being denied by Forde, while a rare Cambridge attack saw Berry volley over after good work by Uche Ikpeazu.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Scot, 29, dismantled the Raonic serve in a 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2) victory to repeat his triumph of 2013 and claim a third Grand Slam title. Murray is the first British man to win multiple Wimbledon singles titles since Fred Perry in 1935. "I'm proud to have my hands on the trophy again," said Murray. Media playback is not supported on this device Murray gave a famously tearful speech after losing his first Wimbledon final against Roger Federer in 2012. Twelve months later, he finally ended Britain's 77-year wait for a male champion - and the chance to see him repeat the feat attracted huge attention. Spectators queued overnight just to grab a spot on Henman Hill, while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and former champions Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker were among those watching from the Royal Box. "This is the most important tournament for me every year," added an emotional Murray. "I've had some great moments here, but also some tough losses. The win feels extra special because of the tough losses." Media playback is not supported on this device Murray was playing his 11th Grand Slam final and for the first time he was the favourite, having faced either Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer in the previous 10 finals. He appeared to relish the role, ignoring the magnitude of the occasion to claim a sixth successive win over Raonic. The 25-year-old Canadian was making his Grand Slam final debut, helped along the way by John McEnroe, who was in the opposite coaching corner to his old rival Ivan Lendl. Whatever insights those two legends were able to pass on, the final came down, as expected, to a contest between serve and return, with the latter coming out on top. Raonic went into the match with 137 aces, but it took him five games to add a 138th as Murray dialled in early on the return, just as he had in winning their Queen's Club final three weeks ago. A blustery wind on Centre Court was not helping the Raonic serve and he was under pressure early on, seeing off two break points before Murray converted a third to lead 4-3. That was enough to give the Scot the set and he continued to press in the second, earning four chances to break again but finding the net each time. Raonic was unable to respond, failing to conjure up a single break point, but a tie-break offered the Canadian a chance to serve his way back to level terms. Murray was having none of it, taking advantage of a slightly fortuitous early break to surge ahead with some magnificent defence and a rasping backhand winner. At 6-1 down, there was no way back for Raonic - and when Murray clinched his third set point even the implacable Lendl was moved to applaud. An unexpectedly routine contest came to life at the start of the third set when Raonic finally had two break points, only for a fired-up Murray to play his way out of trouble. The world number two pumped his fist and roared in the direction of his player box, and when it came down to another tie-break, Murray again found his very best when it counted. A brilliant backhand winner set him on the way to another 6-1 lead and, with the crowd chanting "Andy! Andy!", he pummelled a forehand into the corner on his second match point that Raonic could only return into the net. In his previous 10 Grand Slam finals, Murray had only won 67% of his first-serve points - but it was a different story against Raonic as he won 87% of the points behind it. He was not afraid to direct the majority of his serves to Raonic's strength, the forehand, and incredibly only lost one point when he did so in the match. In fact, over the course of both tie-breaks, Murray directed every first serve to the Raonic forehand. The fact Murray was able to hold so comfortably throughout the match - he only faced two break points - meant that he could be ultra aggressive when returning. He was able get 74% of his returns back in play and put pressure on the Raonic serve, which suffered under pressure, especially in the tie-break where the Canadian only won 44% of his service points. Murray's ability to continually return the huge Raonic serve proved key to his victory. The Canadian fired down the biggest serve of the tournament at 147mph, but it was still not enough, the Briton winning the point with a brilliant pass. "He moves incredibly well, he returns well - those are his two biggest strengths, and he's been playing well," said Raonic. "Every time you play him, you know he's going to get more returns back than anyone else, along with Novak." Media playback is not supported on this device Boris Becker, three-time Wimbledon champion: "Obviously, the big one is always the first one and once you break that duck there's room for more. He's 29, at the peak of his career, so I'm sure he's going to be up for a few more Grand Slams. "Grass is his most natural surface, and he's always going to be a big threat at Wimbledon. Hard court is a great surface for him too. He'll be winning a couple more." Lleyton Hewitt, 2002 Wimbledon champion: "Andy Murray is always trying to improve. It couldn't have been easy losing the Australian Open for a fifth time this year, and then losing to the one guy who's held the weight against him for so long in Novak Djokovic at the French Open, despite having taken the first set. "I'm really pleased for him. You do put so much into this, he will be so relieved now." Tim Henman, four-time semi-finalist: "Murray delivered in every aspect, it really was an amazing finish to a fantastic fortnight for him. He stamped his authority, got up 5-0 in both tie-breaks. His first serve percentage, he only made nine unforced errors... Murray used all his skills to keep making Raonic play and make life difficult and it paid off." Pat Cash, 1987 Wimbledon champion: "It was almost a faultless tournament from Andy. It was so special. He perhaps had one blip by losing a set against Tsonga. How often can you say that?"

Britain's Andy Murray became Wimbledon champion for the second time with a superb performance against Canadian sixth seed Milos Raonic in the final.

Chief inspector of schools Meilyr Rowlands told AMs it was partly due to the "unintended consequences" of how schools' performance is measured. Another Estyn witness said more able learners' progress had been "stifled". Ministers agreed they needed "to do more to push our most able students" and were introducing changes to raise standards "for all our young people". The Welsh Assembly's Children, Young People and Education Committee was quizzing Estyn about its annual report, on Wednesday. Mr Rowlands said that schools focused on a performance measure which requires pupils to get five GCSEs at grade A*-C, including English or Welsh and maths. That, he said, encouraged schools to focus on the borderline between C and D grades "and possibly not giving enough support for those who could get As and A*s". But he said that evidence from primary schools, further education and the PISA international tests also suggested that able and talented pupils were not given enough support in the education system. "I don't think schools and the education system more generally have done enough," he said. Claire Morgan, Strategic Director for Estyn, said the focus on particular performance indicators meant there is "some gaming, [and] early entry that hasn't helped to stretch the more able". "I think this has stifled the progress of more able learners," she added. A Welsh Government spokesman said ministers recognised "we need to do more to push our most able students to reach their full potential". "Through programmes such as the Seren Network, we are already supporting our brightest students to reach our leading universities. The spokesman said changes were being introduced to the system used to measure schools' performance for 15 to 16 year olds, following a review of qualifications for 14 to 19 year olds. The changes were intended to "raise standards and extend opportunities for all our young people no matter what their background", he added.

More able children are not getting enough attention in Wales' education system, the schools watchdog has said.

The company reported an 8% increase in profit to $391m (£273m) for the first three months of 2016. Yum, which also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, said sales at stores in China that have been open a year or more rose 6% compared to the same quarter last year. The news boosted Yum's shares by 4% in after-hours trading. Analysts had expected just a 2.1% growth in sales in China, where Yum is the biggest Western restaurant brand. Chief executive Greg Creed said: "KFC China had an outstanding Chinese New Year bucket promotion." "This is a transformational year for our company as we remain on track to finalise the separation of our China business by year end," Mr Creed said. Yum wants to spin-off its 6,900 China restaurants, its most profitable business, by the end of 2016 in order to focus the company on US operations. It has also been losing market share to rival McDonalds in China.

KFC owner, Yum Brands, has seen a rise in profit, thanks in part to a chicken bucket deal over Chinese New Year.

Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester's Selby, who beat Ding Junhui in last year's final, looked on course for a whitewash by going 8-0 ahead. Irishman O'Brien claimed the ninth and 11th to avoid becoming only the second player to exit without winning a frame, but Selby wrapped up the match. He will face either Wales' Ryan Day or China's Xiao Guodong in the next round. Selby has enjoyed a stellar season - claiming four ranking titles, including this month's China Open, though no player has followed that by winning the world title in the same season. The world number one made top breaks of 92, 77 and 66 as he began his attempt to win his third title at the Sheffield venue, which is holding the event for a 40th year. "I'm very happy to get through and happy with the scoreline but my performance could have been better," Selby said. "I was not killing enough frames off in the first visit and would have liked to have capitalised on them. "I would like to win every tournament I play in. I am confident and I am playing well enough. "Even if I don't play well, I have a never-say-die attitude and you have to scrape me off the table. "I was gutted not to go 9-0 because I know the history that there has only been one whitewash here. I was devastated to go in after the first session at 8-1." Having made light work of O'Brien, Selby has almost a week off, returning to action next Saturday. Dubliner O'Brien came through qualifying by beating David Gilbert in a final-frame decider - the longest frame in snooker history, timed at two hours, three minutes and 41 seconds. But he struggled badly in the first-round encounter, managing a high break of just 32, although he avoided the ignominy of joining Eddie Charlton - who lost 10-0 to John Parrott in 1992 - as the only players not to win a frame at the championship. He has now lost six successive meetings against Selby, claiming just four frames in a run stretching back to 2006. "When I won my first frame, it was good because the crowd were so supportive and willing me not to get the whitewash," said O'Brien. In an all-Scottish tie, qualifier Stephen Maguire claimed eight frames in a row to trounce Anthony McGill 10-2. Maguire, who has won five ranking titles, has fallen to 24th in the world but was in good scoring form, compiling breaks of 97, 66 and 60 to go through. Meanwhile, five-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan was pegged back to a 5-4 lead over debutant Gary Wilson. Former taxi driver Wilson fell 5-1 behind but took the last three frames of the session, including the ninth having needed snookers. On the other table, Kyren Wilson leads 5-4 against Crucible first-timer David Grace. Media playback is not supported on this device

Defending champion Mark Selby reached the second round of the World Championship by thrashing Fergal O'Brien 10-2 at the Crucible Theatre.

The 37-year-old American has been hired as a linebacker coach for pre-season by Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians. He said it didn't matter if a coach was "the Green Hornet" as long as players felt he or she could help them improve. Welter, who spent 14 seasons as a professional American football player, added: "I'm honoured to be a part of this amazing team." Arians said he had spoken to his squad about Welter and insisted "they were all very cool" with her appointment. He added: "I thought she was the type of person that could handle this in a very positive way for women and open that door. "It's not going to be a distraction in any way." Welter, who has a master's degree in sports psychology, became the first female to play in a non-kicking position in a men's professional league. She was a running back and special teams player for Indoor Football League team Texas Revolution in February 2014. Welter also played as a linebacker for 14 seasons with the Dallas Diamonds in the Women's Football Alliance. She was also the first woman to coach in a men's professional league after training the Revolution last season. Welter's appointment is another significant moment for women's sport and US professional sports. Becky Hammon, an assistant coach for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs last season, served as head coach for the team's developmental summer league team and led them to a championship earlier this month.

Jen Welter has become the first female coach in the NFL after being appointed by the Arizona Cardinals.

But the music in the air is understated these days. Birdsong and the chatter of children have replaced the loud clang and clatter of heavy industry. It is not the hush of contentment, but the quiet of an industrial graveyard. A council leader warns of history repeating itself. A local activist urges the people of Wales to show heart and spirit and fight back. The message to Port Talbot from Ravenscraig is blunt: don't let this happen to you. Ravenscraig steelworks in central Scotland closed in 1992 after a bitter 12-year fight. There is still a numbness here, the pain of a phantom limb still nearly unbearable almost a quarter of a century after amputation. The questions it raises - about the UK's industrial strategy and the way areas are treated when their main source of employment disappears - are still raw. Listen to Mark Mardell's full report from Ravenscraig on BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend. Workers were given generous compensation and retrained, according to one union leader, but the promised regeneration never came. The 'Craig, as everyone around here calls it with familiar affection, covered an area twice the size of Monaco. Today it is largely a wasteland, the biggest brownfield site in Europe. Very brown it is too. Sure there is a gleaming glass-fronted further education college, a sports centre of dramatic design, a pub and some new homes. But there are also swathes of churned up mud, puddles and scrubby grass. There were ambitious plans for the biggest new town in Europe and an immense shopping centre that would pull in people from all over Scotland. But other retailers didn't like the idea and there was a lengthy court battle that went to the House of Lords. By the time it was over, the recession and the new enthusiasm for shopping online put paid to those dreams. Everyone I talk to speaks as if with one mind. If regeneration is to happen it should be well-funded and immediate. But it is not the answer. The answer is "save our steel". What happened to the people of Ravenscraig - what they fear awaits families in Port Talbot - goes to the heart of a problem that haunts the West and reverberates in its politics. It is one part of the reason for the success of Donald Trump in the US and parties of the hard right and hard left in Europe, as well as the plight of the Labour Party in many parts of the UK. While globalisation may boost the world economy, while its masters feel as at home in Beijing, Birmingham and Berlin, it leaves a remnant floundering in a changing landscape, searching for more secure national identities rooted in a tried and tested past. It explains why we are hearing calls for trade tariffs when once protectionism seemed as old-fashioned as the intense battle over the Corn Laws. Steelworks, like coal mining and shipbuilding, were the source of jobs for generations and decent money. But my visit to Ravenscraig reminded me that it was about more than just cash. I started my life as a journalist on Teesside in the north east of England at the time when closures were always in the air. It seemed each week the Labour MPs would come up with a new "dossier of despair" chronicling decline. Not much has changed - Redcar's steelworks finally shut down last autumn. Later as an industrial reporter I covered the long and bitter miners' strike. The sector, hit by multiple mass extinctions, not only underpinned a region's economy but was a source of pride and purpose. The sort of feeling that people have for their country or their football team, people had for their industry, their plant, their pit. Maybe that's an overly romantic generalisation but there's a truth in it. You don't get that sense of self worth from a call centre or a food court. Nor do you get the power of the unions or a solid commitment to one political party. This is a phenomenon all over Europe and the US. The Rust Belt in the US goes on for mile after mile, rows of corroding chimneys and towers, inspiring Bruce Springsteen's despairing nostalgia for blue collar America. You can see similar discarded husks of heavy industry all over Eastern Europe. But there is a particularly British twist to this story. I remember going to see the heartland of German industry, the Ruhr, six or seven years ago. Mining is dead but steel is very much alive. Standing high up in a steelworks command centre, like the bridge of a ship, you can look down on an area much bigger than Ravenscraig, pumping out smoke and steam. Germany has a strategy that values manufacturing. The SNP government in Scotland would say it does too. When Tata announced the planned closure of the last remaining steelworks, they acted. Details of the deal are sketchy, but it appears the plants were nationalised for a few brief hours and then sold on. It is not just industrial giants Germany and the US who produce more steel than the UK. So do France, Italy and Spain. Perhaps, some would argue, that is because they are behind the times. But the question is obvious - if I have been covering the decline of British steel all my working life, what have successive British governments been doing about it? At Ravenscraig you'll hear mutterings about "Maggie" and "the Conservatives". But it is arguable that all recent governments have seen heavy industry as the past, and banking and services as the bright future - the market embraced with an enthusiasm not matched on the continent. This current steel crisis will pass, one way or another. But it provokes big questions, not only about whether steel is a strategic resource, but about the future of work. That does not mean it will result in a new strategy or new thinking. But this leaves a sense of bitterness in its wake. As one man who worked at the 'Craig for 30 years put it: "You still need steel. You can't make the Forth Bridge out of plastic."

The sports centre at Ravenscraig is a homage, a "symphony in steel", say the architects.

The man, in his 30s, was found with chest injuries in the red Mazda in North Way, Barton, just after 22:45 BST on Tuesday. He later died in hospital. Police said 34-year-old Rafal Stawski of Mayfair Road, Oxford, had been charged with one count of murder. A 31-year-old man, from Oxford, also arrested in connection with the man's death has been released without charge. Mr Stawski is due to appear before Oxford Magistrates' Court.

SuperTed was born in south Wales as a book, before becoming a much-loved TV series on both sides of the Atlantic. It was shown as one of Welsh language broadcaster S4C's first programmes in November 1982, before being translated into English and shown on BBC One the following year. Barry-born Young, now 70, has spent most of his working life in animation in California, working as an independent in Hollywood dominated by the big studios. The former advertising copywriter has now produced a feature-length animation, Norm Of The North, and his next film project is close to his heart - about a former legend with his beloved Cardiff City football club. A BEAR BEGINNING In 1978, Young created SuperTed as a story to read to his young stepson Richard, who was afraid of the dark, at bedtime. But the tales of the crime-solving superhero with special powers - and rivals like Texas Pete - soon got a wider audience. "I went to the village hall one day to pick Richard up from play school and they said 'we love the SuperTed stories' and I said 'how do you know about those?' "They said that 'he always tells us the story you told him last night'. "We then got the books published, a couple of hundred were written, and then S4C came along and they wanted at least one thing which would travel all over the world - and it was successful. "We became the first company to sell to Disney and we never looked back." Three TV series were made in the mid 1980s, with Derek Griffiths and Jon Pertwee providing the voices. Young also launched Welsh-language cartoon Wil Cwac Cwac and helped develop Fireman Sam. Now a new series of SuperTed is being planned, which Young again wants to make in Wales with some of the original team. HOLLYWOOD BECKONS Young and his wife Liz created Mike Young Productions - which later become Splash Entertainment - and moved to Los Angeles in 1989. With much bigger rivals in Hollywood, he called it "one of the most stupid, crazy decisions you could make". But the company flourished. As well as collaborations, its animations have included Chloe's Closet, Dive Olly Dive!, Hero:108, Growing Up Creepie, Pet Alien and ToddWorld. NORM OF THE NORTH Young's latest production is an animated feature film Norm Of the North about a polar bear. Norm, who can talk but cannot hunt, goes to New York with a gang of lemmings for adventure and to fight a tourism development in the Arctic. Although it does not have a big budget, the film uses the latest computer generated imagery (CGI) technology. "We wanted to make something economic because I want the independents to have a chance and really get back into this business," said Young. "It's all well and good having Disney, Pixar, Universal and DreamWorks but fundamentally they go a certain route but we can take more risks with what we do." The film, which includes voices from actors Rob Schneider and Bill Nighy, got its Welsh premiere at the Market Hall cinema in Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent, earlier this week. CARDIFF CITY FAN IS THE RIGHT MATCH He may live in California, but Cardiff City fan Young is now on the team making a film about one of the Bluebirds' most colourful characters. Friday (The Greatest Player You Never Saw) is about the late Robin Friday, who played for Cardiff and Reading in the 1980s before he died aged 38. "He made George Best look like an angel," Young said. "We've put together finance for it and got some big stars in it and it looks like we'll be shooting it in England or Ireland later this summer."

Once upon a time, there was a bedtime story - and it was the start of a long career for TV and film producer Mike Young.

The video shows three men and three unveiled women dancing to the song on the streets and rooftops of Tehran. Police chief Hossein Sajedinia said the "vulgar clip" had "hurt public chastity", the ISNA news agency said. Iran's state-run TV broadcast a programme on Tuesday, apparently showing the men and women confessing on camera. A subtitled edition of the TV clip, posted on YouTube, identified the detainees as "actors" who claimed they were tricked into making the Happy video for an audition. By Ali HamedaniBBC Persian The young people in the video are students, film-makers and photographers. Their video appeared during the Persian New Year, at the end of March, and it was an instant hit on Iranian social media sites, inspiring several copies. It is just the latest example of young Iranians using the internet to challenge the restrictions on their everyday lives. In the past month, hundreds of Iranian women have been defying the rules requiring them to cover their heads in public, by sending photographs of themselves without headscarves, to a newly created Facebook site called "My Stealthy Freedom". Arash Sobhani, leader singer of the Iranian underground rock group Kiosk, who now lives in the US told BBC Persian that the Iranian authorities continuing attempts to crackdown on "un-Islamic" behaviour were not working. "They banned our music, broke our guitars, attacked our parties and stopped our concerts," he said. "But did we stop? No!" "They told me they are making a feature film and they had a permit for it," said one man in the video. "They said those things and they fooled me." Another young woman added: "They had promised us not to publish the video." According to some unconfirmed reports, a total of 13 people were arrested in connection with the video, but official sources have not confirmed the exact number of detainees. Williams, whose song was nominated for an Oscar earlier this year, has protested at the arrests. "It is beyond sad that these kids were arrested for trying to spread happiness," the singer wrote on his Facebook page. Iran's president Hassan Rouhani also appeared to criticise the arrest. A unofficial twitter account, widely believed to be associated with the President, posted a comment he first made last year, saying: "#Happiness is our people's right. We shouldn't be too hard on behaviours caused by joy." Under Iran's interpretation of Islamic law, women must cover their hair and wear loose-fitting clothing meant to preserve their modesty. Patrols of so-called "morality police" regularly enforce standards of Islamic dress on Iran's streets. However, the rules are widely flouted. The internet is also heavily filtered in Iran, with the authorities blocking access to popular social networking sites. The "Happy we are from Tehran" video, originally posted in March, has now been seen more than 40,000 times. At the end of the clip, the credits read: "Happy was an excuse to be happy. We enjoyed every second of making it. Hope it puts a smile on your face." Iranian journalist Golnaz Esfandiari tweeted in response to the arrests: "Iran [is] a country where being 'happy' is a crime. "Thousands of Iranians have been arrested in the past 35 years for being happy [and] partying." Arash Sobhani, leader singer of the Iranian underground rock group Kiosk, told the BBC's Persian service that attempts to suppress musicians were not working. "They banned our music, broke our guitars, attacked our parties and stopped our concerts," he said. "But did we stop? No!" Many Twitter users have begun using the hashtag #freehappyiranians to put pressure on the Iranian authorities to release those arrested over the video. Williams' song has inspired hundreds of tributes since it was released last year on the soundtrack to hit animation Despicable Me 2. The music video lasted an exhausting 24 hours - with dozens of people filmed lip-syncing and dancing to the feel-good anthem, which was played on a loop. The clip sparked a YouTube craze, with thousands fans around the world staging their own performances of the song. When shown a montage of the tributes on the Oprah Winfrey show last month, Williams began to cry, saying the response to the song had been "overwhelming". In the UK, the track has reached number one on three separate occasions, while in the US it spent 10 weeks at the top of the Hot 100.

A group of Iranian fans who created a tribute to Pharrell Williams' hit song Happy have been arrested.

They have identified a range of viruses, called bacteriophages, that can be used to kill common pig infections. The aim is to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistant bacteria emerging on farms that could also infect humans. If trials in pigs work, the new therapy could be extended to treat people. Prof Martha Clokie presented her interim results to a pig industry meeting in Solihull. She told BBC News that the early results indicated that phage therapy could be "completely transformative for human health". "There are many infections that we just can't treat with antibiotics because they have become resistant to them. So using the phage therapy for specific diseases could change the way we treat infection. It could give us a whole new armoury." Scientists have been trying to develop phage treatments for more than a century but they have mostly proved to be unreliable. But Prof Clokie has found more precise ways of isolating phages and assessing their effectiveness. The research has been funded by the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board which is responding to concerns about the possibility of so called superbugs developing in farm animals and entering the food chain. Charlotte Evans is leading the project for AHDB. "Pig producers are responding to a pig health and welfare point of view and also reacting to consumer expectations, to help make sure we are being responsible about our antibiotic usage and ensure we safeguard them for the future," she said. In the UK, 40% of all antibiotics are used to treat animals. They are the same as those used to treat people. A review published last year by Lord Jim O'Neil called for reductions in the unnecessary use of antibiotics in agriculture, especially those that were "highly critical" to human health. Prof Clokie has shown that phage therapy can in principle offer a viable alternative to antibiotics. Phages occur in nature and are the natural enemy of many infectious agents. There are many phages, each of which is specific to different infectious bugs. The phages home in on these agents like a guided missile. Once they find their target, they latch on to them and inject their DNA into the bug rendering it harmless. Like all viruses, they reproduce inside the infectious bug and these new phages go on to hunt other infections Prof Clokie and her team have identified a range of disease-killing phages, including one that disables a salmonella bug that infects pigs. Her team has shown that it works in the lab and the scientists have also developed a powdered form of the phage which remains active. This is an important step because it enables the researchers to add the phage to pig feed and see if it works in practice. The team plans to begin trails later this year. If the approach is found to be effective, other phage treatments could be developed for a range of animal diseases. It would also speed the development of phage treatments for people.

Researchers at Leicester University have shown that it might be possible to develop an alternative to antibiotics for treating diseases in pigs.

The victim claims no-one responded when he brought the alleged offences to light. A complaint is being reviewed by the Church of England, his lawyer said. Clergy representatives said they were unable to comment on the claims published in the Guardian as they formed part of an active investigation. The priest said all five men were aware of his claims he had been repeatedly raped by a vicar when he was 16 in 1984, but none of them acted. He said he made the allegations verbally to the Right Reverend Peter Burrows, the Bishop of Doncaster; the Right Reverend Steven Croft, the former Bishop of Sheffield, and now Bishop of Oxford; and the Right Reverend Martyn Snow, a former Archdeacon of Sheffield and Rotherham, and now the Bishop of Leicester, between July 2012 and February 2013. The Archbishop of York John Sentamu and the Right Reverend Glyn Webster, the Bishop of Beverley, were also made aware when they were copied in to a letter sent to the Rt Rev Croft in June 2013, he said. His lawyer, David Greenwood, of Switalskis Solicitors, said the priest finally spoke up after a safeguarding issue in his own parish "triggered his memories". "He reached out for help to the Bishop of Doncaster but found that he got no help, no support and no response," he said. "He continued to try to elicit a response from the senior people in his diocese but got nothing." Under the Church of England's clergy disciplinary measures a complaint must be made within one year of the alleged misconduct. An application for permission to make complaints out of time has been lodged and is being considered by the church. Mr Greenwood said a complaint had also been made to West Yorkshire Police and the details of the alleged misconduct passed to the Goddard Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. A spokesperson for the archbishop said he had only been sent a copy of the letter and the original recipient of the letter had "a duty to respond and not the archbishop". A spokesperson for the bishops said that if the complaint went forward "our bishops will make a full response to the various allegations made in due course". A complaint has also been made by the priest against Roy Williamson, a former bishop of Bradford and now an honorary assistant bishop with the diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, that he failed to act at the time of the abuse. A spokesperson for his diocese said: "We cannot comment during a live investigation except to say that if approached by the authorities we will offer them every co-operation." West Yorkshire Police said it is investigating a report of a historical serious sexual offence said to have occurred in the Bradford area in the 1980s. A force representative said: "A crime has been recorded and a 69-year-old man has been spoken to in connection with the inquiry."

A priest has accused the Archbishop of York and four bishops of misconduct after they "failed to act" on allegations he was raped by a vicar.

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

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

Mani Dad was living with his Polish mother Leyla Dad in Kielce, Poland, when he disappeared early this year. He is thought to be in the UK with his British father, property dealer Zayn Dean, 47, also known as Dholtana Dad. Ms Dad, 33, said Costa coffee shops were among Mani's favourite haunts and asked customers to look out for him. Ms Dad, who has launched family court proceedings in a bid to find her son, said she had spoken to Mani by telephone several times and he told her he had visited Costa with his father. "He loves Costa. We often used to take him when we lived in England," said Ms Dad. "I would urge Costa staff and customers to look carefully at the pictures and let police know if you think you've seen them. "Zayn is a big guy. He'd be talking on the phone. Mani would probably be playing on a computer." Ms Dad said she thought the pair could be living in a village. The family lived in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and Bedford before moving to Poland. Ms Dad, who uses her middle name, Paulina, said Mr Dean, whose family is from Pakistan, grew up in Bolton and Bradford, and also had links with Birmingham, Luton, Bedfordshire, Essex and London. She said she could not find words to describe her pain. "I know Mani's with his dad but I'm sure he's not going to school and he's missing me," she said. "I have to find him. I just don't know what to do." Her solicitor Katherine Res Pritchard, of Dawson Cornwell, said: "Someone, somewhere must have seen Mani. "We need to find him and make sure he is safe. He needs to be reunited with his mother."

A woman whose seven-year-old son has vanished with her estranged husband is appealing for staff and customers of a coffee chain to be on the alert.

Sistercharlie was second, with Terrakova third. Frankie Dettori managed to navigate Shutter Speed into a good position but she could not reply as Senga found top gear in the home straight. Senga is trained by Pascal Bary and was ridden by 39-year-old Frenchman Stephane Pasquier. Dettori, 46, was competing for the first time since he was thrown from his mount before racing at Great Yarmouth on Tuesday. The Italian, who has ridden 56 winners at Royal Ascot, fell after Tivoli seemed to be startled. This year's Royal Ascot meeting starts on Tuesday.

Shutter Speed finished fourth and Rhododendron was pulled up by jockey Ryan Moore as Senga claimed victory at the Prix de Diane in Chantilly.

Overnight leader Rickie Fowler missed out on an automatic Ryder Cup place after carding a three-over round of 74 on Sunday to finish joint seventh. Fowler needed to finish third and will now hope to be a wildcard pick on Davis Love's team. Reed, on the losing team at Gleneagles in 2014, said: "I want sweet revenge, just like our whole team does." Europe have won the competition three times in a row, and eight times in the last 10. Reed, 26, beat fellow American Sean O'Hair and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo by a shot in New York to go top of the PGA points standings. Scotland's Martin Laird ended two under par, while England's Olympic champion Justin Rose and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy finished on level par. Reed, who represented the USA at the Presidents Cup in South Korea and at the Olympic Games in Brazil, added: "I finally get to play for the United States in the United States and I cannot wait to see how the fans are, and just have the whole crowd on our side this time." Fowler's late slip-up saw 2015 Open champion Zach Johnson claim the final automatic spot. 1. Dustin Johnson 2. Jordan Spieth 3. Phil Mickelson 4. Patrick Reed 5. Jimmy Walker 6. Brooks Koepka 7. Brandt Snedeker 8. Zach Johnson Captain Davis Love has four wildcard picks and will choose three after the BMW Championship on 11 September. Love will make his final selection two weeks later after the Tour Championship, only five days before the Ryder Cup starts on 30 September. Among those in contention for a spot, along with Fowler, are Bubba Watson, who finished ninth in the standings, and JB Holmes.

The west African nation branded the 54-member grouping, which includes the UK and most of its former colonies, a "neo-colonial institution". The withdrawal was announced on state TV but no other reasons were given. Two years ago President Yahya Jammeh accused the UK of backing his political opposition ahead of elections. Commonwealth officials said they only heard about the move through the media and had not yet been contacted by The Gambia. A spokesman said Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma had seen the reports with "dismay and disappointment" and had asked for "clarification" from the country. There is a history of tension between President Jammeh, who came to power in a 1994 coup, and the UK. Earlier this year, a Foreign Office report singled out The Gambia for its human rights record, citing cases of unlawful detentions, illegal closures of newspapers and discrimination against minority groups. On Thursday a Foreign Office spokesman said: "Decisions on Commonwealth membership are a matter for each member government. We would very much regret Gambia, or any other country, deciding to leave the Commonwealth." In August last year The Gambia was criticised by Amnesty International and others for executing nine prisoners by firing squad. The Commonwealth was founded in 1931 but acquired its modern shape after 1949 as former British colonies and protectorates, including The Gambia, started to achieve self-government and varying degrees of independence. According to the Commonwealth's charter, member states should communicate and co-operate "in the common interests of our peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace". In its statement, The Gambian government said it had "withdrawn its membership of the British Commonwealth". It said it had "decided that The Gambia will never be a member of any neo-colonial institution and will never be a party to any institution that represents an extension of colonialism". But Bakary Dabo, former vice president of The Gambia and chairman of the country's campaign for democratic change, said people there are generally "very happy" to be part of the Commonwealth. He said the government had recently begun "picking up war against poorly specified enemies called 'western powers'". Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Dabo said this rhetoric had "accelerated" in recent years and been used when President Jammeh gave a "rambling" speech at the United Nations General Assembly last month Also at the UN, President Jammeh said homosexuality was one of the three "biggest threats to human existence". He has also drawn international criticism for claiming he can cure Aids with a herbal body rub and bananas. BBC Africa analyst Farouk Chothia said despite its image as an idyllic holiday destination, The Gambia, and its population of less than two million, were kept under tight control by its eccentric leader. The latest decision was bound to come from him, our analyst added. The Royal Commonwealth Society, an education charity which works in Commonwealth countries, said The Gambia's announcement was unexpected and appeared to be undemocratic. Society director Michael Lake said President Jammeh had made the decision "without consulting The Gambia's people" and the country's withdrawal would be "a loss felt by both its people and the wider Commonwealth network". He added: "Far from being a 'neo-colonial institution', the modern Commonwealth operates on a consensus model and its voluntary membership is predicated primarily on a country's commitment to upholding shared values and principles." The last time a nation left the Commonwealth was in 2003, when Zimbabwe withdrew. The Queen, who is 87, is the head of the Commonwealth, which holds its next heads of government meeting in Colombo, Sri Lanka, next month. However, the gathering will be the first that the Queen has not attended since 1971. She will send her son, the Prince of Wales instead. Buckingham Palace said she would make fewer overseas trips because of her age. Three African countries have joined the Commonwealth in recent years. Rwanda was admitted in 2009 after applying for membership the previous year, while Cameroon and Mozambique became members in 1995.

The Gambia's decision to withdraw from the Commonwealth 48 years after joining is something to "very much regret", the UK Foreign Office has said.

It hopes to attract both foreign tourists and domestic visitors as part of efforts to diversify the Saudi economy, as oil prices have fallen. Visa restrictions on foreigners are to be eased in the tourist zone. However, it is not clear whether dress codes and other restrictions in the conservative kingdom will be relaxed. Alcohol, cinemas and theatres are prohibited in Saudi Arabia. Women must wear loose-fitting, full-length robes known as "abayas" in public, as well as a headscarf if they are Muslim. They are not allowed to drive and often require a male guardian's permission to study or travel abroad. Construction of the new resorts is due to start in 2019. The first phase will include developing a new airport as well as luxury hotels and housing, and is expected to be complete in 2022. Sebastian Usher, BBC News Arab affairs editor Saudi Arabia already plays host to millions of foreigners - for work and for the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. But its austere religious and social codes, reflected in the ruggedness of the landscape, have hardly proved enticing to tourists - and until recently, that's how the Saudis liked it. Now, with oil revenues falling, fresh ways of earning income and providing jobs for Saudis have been urgently sought. Tourism has been earmarked as a key element of a new economic and social vision. The tourism project is part of a plan, known as Vision 2030, spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who was elevated to become the first in line to the Saudi throne in June. The Red Sea development will be built along 125 miles (200km) of Saudi's western coastline, according to the Vision 2030 fund. Among the attractions will be protected coral reefs, dormant volcanoes, and a nature reserve inhabited by rare wildlife like Arabian leopards and falcons. Visitors will also be able to take trips to the ancient ruins of Madain Saleh, classified as a Unesco World Heritage site, and take part in activities such as parachuting, trekking and rock climbing.

Saudi Arabia has launched a massive tourism development project that will turn 50 islands and other sites on the Red Sea into luxury resorts.

The review into 22 abuse cases in Northern Ireland criticised the authorities for not doing enough. The young people went missing a number of times over a 20-month period while being looked after in the care system. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said it has recently made policy changes aimed at keeping children safe. In September 2013, the PSNI said it had begun a major investigation into the sexual exploitation of children and young people who had gone missing from care in Northern Ireland. Officers said they had identified 22 people, aged between 13 and 18, who may have been sexually exploited. The PSNI investigation was known was Operation Owl. Thursday's report, examining the PSNI response, has been published by the Safeguarding Board for Northern Ireland. It said PSNI officers were effective in locating the teenagers and returning them to the care system. However, it found that they failed to properly examine the extent of the child sexual exploitation taking place and their attempts to find and stop the abusers was - in the words of the review - "limited and inconsistent". While there is praise for the help offered by some staff from residential care homes, Stormont's Health Minister Simon Hamilton said that the report shows not enough support was given to protect the teenagers from harm or the risk of harm. He said the review had identified "a significant gap" in knowledge about perpetrators of child sexual exploitation. The head of the PSNI's Public Protection Branch, Det Ch Supt George Clarke said that following Operation Owl, the PSNI has "implemented a number of changes in our approach to handling this issue to ensure we are doing everything we can to keep children and young people safe". "Indeed, in April of this year, the PSNI formed the Public Protection Branch which is now responsible for policy and practice in relation to a number of areas including child sexual exploitation. "The new structures enable us to work closely with our partner agencies in a much more cohesive way than before to ensure better protection and safeguarding for children and young people." The office said the PSNI has also revised its Missing Persons Protocol, a joint policy with the health and social care authorities. "This protocol is designed to support effective collaborative safeguarding responses by the PSNI and social services in respect of children who run away or go missing from their homes or care placements and builds upon developments in our knowledge and experience," Mr Clarke added. Last year, a separate review into the issue concluded that sexual exploitation was a growing threat to young people in Northern Ireland. That report also said that some abusers were thought to have links to paramilitary groups.

A child sexual exploitation report has found police made no sustained effort to find out who was responsible for abusing children in the care system.

The test ran between Victoria station and Exchange Square through to Market Street at about 02:00 GMT. A new tram stop at Exchange Square for Metrolink's Second City Crossing is due to open before Christmas. The crossing would mean extra capacity for trams and will link St Peter's Square with Victoria station. It is expected to be completed by 2017. Trams will travel along Princess Street, Cross Street and Corporation Street to reach Victoria. Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) said the scheme was an essential part of the Metrolink expansion. Peter Cushing, TfGM's Metrolink director, said: "We're at the start of an extensive testing and commissioning process to make sure all the physical infrastructure is ready for us to get passenger services in the run up to Christmas."

The first test trams have run on the new section of track for the second crossing through Manchester.

A statue of Sekhemka valued at £2m was gifted to Northampton's museums by the 4th Marquis of Northampton in 1880. The Conservative-run council plans to sell it and use the money for heritage schemes but this has been challenged by the Liberal Democrat group. The ruling party said it could not comment during legal talks. The sale was earlier challenged by Lord Northampton, a descendant of the marquis, who said the council did not have the right to sell Sekhemka. The 30in (76cm) limestone figure of a court official clutching beer, bread and cake - items for the afterlife - is believed to have been acquired by Spencer Compton, the second Marquis of Northampton during a trip to Egypt in 1850. It was presented to the museum by his son some years later. The council said the statue's value made it too expensive to insure and secure, and its sale could benefit other local heritage and cultural projects. The Liberal Democrats said the sale should be stopped and the statue ought to remain in Northampton. Council leader David Mackintosh said: "We have made the decision to auction the statue and reinvest the money into our towns culture and heritage. "Our legal team are in contact with Lord Northampton, and it would be inappropriate to comment further." The issue will be discussed at a forthcoming meeting of the council.

Opposition parties on Northampton Borough Council have asked for greater clarity on its plans to sell a 4,000-year-old Egyptian statue.

At least five members of an oil exploration team were killed, a spokesman for the University of Maiduguri said. Soldiers and members of a vigilante group also died in the ambush. The high number of casualties will be a blow for the government, which insists the insurgency is all but defeated. At least 20,000 people have been killed and thousands more abducted since Boko Haram launched its insurgency in 2009. In the most notorious abduction case, it seized 276 girls from a boarding school in the north-eastern town of Chibok in 2014. It has since freed more than 100 of the girls, in exchange for the release of its fighters detained by Nigeria's security forces. Details of what happened on Tuesday remain unclear, with initial reports from the army suggesting the abducted geologists and surveyors, who worked at the University of Maiduguri, had been rescued. On Tuesday, the army said the bodies of nine Nigerian soldiers and a civilian had been recovered. But now the university has said at least five members of staff, including two academics and a driver, were killed when the heavily armed convoy made its way back to Maiduguri, in north-east Nigeria. Several others remain missing. "We got the impression our staff on the team were rescued because that was what the military spokesman said yesterday," Maiduguri University spokesman Dani Mamman said, quoted by AFP. "But we were shocked when we were given four dead bodies. This means it wasn't a rescue. We still have other staff that are yet to be accounted for." Sources told the BBC that more than 40 people, most of them soldiers and volunteers from a vigilante group, had been killed in total - although other sources suggest the number killed may rise further still. "The death toll keeps mounting," a source told AFP, adding: "More bodies are coming in."

More than 40 people have died during an attempt to free people during an ambush by militant Islam group Boko Haram, sources have told the BBC.

Thistle got in front from the penalty spot, Sean Welsh netting after Ryan Dow had fouled Kris Doolan. County threatened when Craig Curran fired against the post. The hosts lost Liam Lindsay to a neck injury in the second half and Welsh threatened again before Chris Burke fired County level. It had appeared Thistle, who were the better side for much of the game, were about to record their first victory since the opening day of the season. But, just as they have done recently against Hamilton Academical and Hearts, they conceded a late goal to drop points. In fact, they could have lost all three points as Ryan Scully saved instinctively from Ryan Dow moments after Burke's equaliser. Alan Archibald will once again rue missed opportunities and a failure to capitalise on their overall dominance of the match. Lindsay's serious-looking injury after coming into collision with Scully and Andrew Davies caused disruption to the Thistle backline but the points should already have been safe. Archibald's managerial acumen - despite Thistle's lowly league position - was recognised by Shrewsbury Town's enquiry this week. As he sought to put an end to his side's eight-game winless run, he shuffled his pack, dropping Adam Barton into a back three and using Callum Booth and Christie Elliott as wing-backs. Not only did that provide Thistle with energy and width, but it allowed their central midfield trio of Welsh, Abdul Osman and Ryan Edwards to dominate the County duo of Ian McShane and Martin Woods. It meant they bossed the game and though Lindsay had to be replaced by Ziggy Gordon, it appeared Thistle had found the means to finally win again. Media playback is not supported on this device Just as Thistle's winless run continues, so does County's, though Jim McIntyre will be a lot happier that it does so with a draw rather than another defeat. They are now without a victory in seven matches, but Burke's injury-time strike at least put an end to their goalless streak. County scarcely threatened Scully's goal before that but did come within a couple of inches of an equaliser when Craig Curran steered a shot against the post. But the continuing absence of striker Liam Boyce through injury is hurting the Staggies and McIntyre will hope his return comes sooner rather than later. Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "We were very good, dominant for most of the match, but County nearly stole it. We need to turn those into victories. That's too many points that have been dropped at home." Burke was bundled over in the box as County began to press in injury time before eventually grabbing the equaliser through the former Rangers and Scotland winger. Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "It's a stonewall penalty. I've watched it back. If the ref deems the first one a penalty, that's every bit as much a penalty. He's got one right and one wrong. He's made a mistake so that's disappointing." Match ends, Partick Thistle 1, Ross County 1. Second Half ends, Partick Thistle 1, Ross County 1. Corner, Ross County. Conceded by Danny Devine.

PC Peter Hodgkinson discharged the weapon while Andrew Pimlott, 32, was holding a lit match at his parents' home in Plymouth in April 2013. Mr Pimlott caught fire and died from his injuries five days later. The officer said he only fired because he feared Mr Pimlott was about to send himself up in flames. The inquest heard two police officers went to the home of Mr Pimlott's parents after his father called 999. His father Kelvin said his son had a can of petrol and was threatening to set fire to the building. The inquest previously heard the dead man had been served with a restraining order preventing him contacting his parents or going near their home. After PC Peter Hodgkinson and PC David Beer arrived at the scene, they saw Mr Pimlott, who was in the back garden, douse himself in petrol from a can and strike a match. "I deployed the Taser to reduce the risk the of harm to Mr Pimlott," said PC Hodgkinson. "I tried to engage with him to put down the can. I believe he was going to set himself alight so I fired the Taser." PC Beer said: "I heard the Taser sound being activated and Mr Pimlott went up in flames." Independent fire investigator Steven Andrews said he made a "very strong finding" that Mr Pimlott was set on fire by the Taser. The ignition point was on the belly where the Taser hit. "The evidence does not support that he was set alight by the match," he said. The inquest continues.

A police officer said he hoped a shot from a Taser stun gun would prevent a man soaked in petrol setting himself alight, an inquest has heard.

Around 400 residents in east Rhyl were forced to leave their properties when severe storms breached the sea defences in December 2013. Chaz Moore, whose bungalow was flooded when the sea wall collapsed, said it was a "risk" living in the area. The third and final phase of £1.1m of improvements by Denbighshire Council is due to start on Tuesday. Cllr David Smith, of Denbighshire Council, admitted the flooding was a "major catastrophe" and major work had been done to protect properties from a repeat of three years ago. "It will be a lot safer knowing what we know now, but the one thing that I cannot say, that no one can say, is that it will not happen again," he said. "It is as safe as we can do it." Mr Moore, who had only been living in his home for six months when the storms hit, said about 18in of water flooded through his bungalow. Watching back his home video of the floods, Mr Moore said: "If you listen to the soundtrack, my wife is on the phone to her sister, saying 'we need someone to part the sea for us'. "We definitely feel safer, we have got to say that, it is a risk living here, but the benefits are great." The work will involve the construction of a new storm water "outfall" which will pump out the flood water from a holding lagoon at the golf club, channelling it out to sea during low tide.

Work is set to begin on a pump to protect hundreds of flood-hit homes in Rhyl from the tides.

Almost 80,000 passengers and crew have sailed into Belfast this year on 43 different tourist ships. One of the big draws is the new Titanic Visitor Centre, which so far has welcomed people from 111 different countries. Belfast is no longer building ships, but it is now attracting them. The peace process has transformed the city. During the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s the cruise ship industry steered clear of Belfast. It was not until 1997 that modern luxury liners started sailing up Belfast Lough. In recent years, numbers have soared. Next year, more than 50 are expected. So what's the big attraction? The Giant's Causeway, golf and Titanic Belfast are pulling in the visitors. However, there is also a human factor - curiosity. Gerry Lennon, chief executive of the Belfast Visitor and Convention Bureau, said: "Curiosity is a huge driver for tourism. A lot of people are curious about Belfast and Northern Ireland. "The political stability has given us that ability to go to the market-place and now say 'look what we have to offer'." The Glens of Antrim, the walls of Londonderry and Belfast's shopping districts are also proving popular. The recent three nights of rioting in one part of north Belfast do not seem to have put people off. Money has been invested in Belfast Harbour to ensure it can cope with the increasingly large vessels sailing into the city, including the latest arrival, the 113,000-tons Emerald Princess. Tony McAuley, commercial officer for Belfast Harbour, said: "Once we get people here, the facilities almost sell themselves." The Titanic Visitor Centre has attracted more than 500,000 visitors since it opened six months ago - double what was expected. The cruise ship business alone is worth an estimated £15m a year to Northern Ireland's economy. There is a certain novelty factor to Belfast at the moment. This will wear off in time. In the meantime, the city is enjoying riding the wave of international interest. Follow Mark Simpson on Twitter: @BBCMarkSimpson

A record number of luxury cruise ships have come to Belfast this year, making it one of the fastest growing cruise destinations in the world.

Sam Gallagher's powerful header back across goal ensured Rovers, who remain in the relegation zone, are still two points from safety with three to play. Tammy Abraham's 22nd goal of the season, an exquisite finish past David Raya, had earlier put City in front. Abraham, Matty Taylor and Josh Brownhill all wasted chances to make it 2-0 before Rovers rescued a point. On-loan Chelsea striker Abraham, 19, was arguably most guilty, shooting straight at the goalkeeper when through on goal as the Robins created a host of great opportunities prior to Gallagher's equaliser. Bristol City remain four points above the relegation zone, with fixtures against Barnsley, Brighton and Birmingham remaining. They could have all but sealed their Championship survival during a dominant first 70 minutes at Ewood Park, but were unable to hold on for a third successive win. Blackburn face Wolves, Aston Villa and Brentford in their final three matches of the season. Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray: "The frustration was the goal we let in really. We ultimately tried to play offside and it was a really sloppy decision from us. "And yet the story of the game was the changes we made, the way the team clawed their way back into the game and then, for us, ultimately a penalty decision that wasn't given, that having watched it back looks a clear penalty kick. "In an ideal world it would have been a day where we didn't play particularly well, but came away with three points. Ultimately we've come away with one. On a day that (Nottingham) Forest lost and Birmingham lost, it's a point we have to put in the bag." Bristol City boss Lee Johnson: "I thought it was outstanding, our performance today. My only criticism really is we should have put it to bed. We have to make sure we're more clinical with our chances because we created numerous ones. "I thought the goal was outstanding, I think it was 31 passes that led to the goal, so my analyst tells me. It shows that we have a bright young side that has to do a job this year and then we can kick on." Match ends, Blackburn Rovers 1, Bristol City 1.

Blackburn Rovers came from behind to earn a crucial draw against fellow Championship strugglers Bristol City.

Patrick McGinley, 46, and his son William McGinley, 27, of Lisfarrell, Edgeworthstown, County Longford are accused of murdering Bernard McGinley. He was shot dead outside a wedding in Newtownbutler in February. The two men are to be released on conditions including a £50,000 cash surety and daily reports to police. The court was told the weapon used in the shooting in February 2015 has not been recovered

The Public Prosecution Service has lost an appeal against the granting of bail for two men charged with murdering a relative at a wedding in Fermanagh.

Two other former executives, as well as the camera firm itself, filed a guilty plea in Tokyo District Court. They face up to 10 years in prison. The three admitted to hiding losses dating back to the 1990s, which were brought to light by a former chief executive, Michael Woodford. 'Entire responsibility' Mr Kikukawa said he regretted not revealing the accounting irregularities earlier. "There is no mistake. The entire responsibility lies with me," Mr Kikukawa said in court on Tuesday. He also apologised for the trouble caused to investors, customers, employees and the general public. The scandal was revealed when Mr Woodford, the British chief executive, was dismissed from his post after he challenged Mr Kikukawa and the board over suspiciously large payments related to acquisitions. An investigation was launched that revealed a cover-up of losses. Mr Kikukawa, former executive vice-president Hisashi Mori and former auditing officer Hideo Yamada were arrested in February and later indicted on suspected violation of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

Former Olympus chairman Tsuyoshi Kikukawa has pleaded guilty to charges of falsifying accounts, covering up losses of $1.7bn (£1.1bn), at the opening of his trial.

Daniel Timbers, 29, and Barry Joy, 56, were working at Harford Attachments in Spar Road when they were killed, shortly after 09:00 BST on Monday. The men are believed to have been working in a paint-spraying area. Their bodies were removed from the site on Tuesday afternoon. A forensic search has been carried out at the company, which makes buckets for diggers. Det Ch Insp Paul Durham said "significant progress" had been made with forensic inquiries and obtaining witness statements. "Evidence gathered so far suggests there has been a flashover explosion, which occurs when you have a build-up of toxic fumes," he said. "This, combined with some sort of ignition, has caused a fire-ball effect." The Health and Safety Executive said its inspectors and electrical safety experts would be gathering evidence.

Two men killed in an explosion at a factory in Norwich died from the "effects of fire and inhalation of fumes of combustion", post-mortem examinations have found.

A National Records of Scotland report said the Dumfries and Galloway village remained a "popular venue". There were 3,511 marriages registered in 2015 compared with 3,499 in 2014. However, last year's total is more than a third down on the record total for Gretna which dates back to 2004 when there were 5,555 weddings. Nonetheless, it can still claim to be the "marriage capital" of Scotland and accounts for 12% of all weddings. It is particularly popular for "tourism marriages" and some 84% of the weddings held in Gretna last year did not involve a resident in Scotland.

The number of marriages in Gretna topped 3,500 last year - a slight rise compared with the previous 12 months.

It was only the Scots' first match, but the history of this competition is not littered with teams who got off to losing starts and then recovered to qualify for the knockouts. Some have done it, of course. Bath and Wasps didn't just lose their opening match in this competition last season - they lost their opening two. And yet they both made the quarter-finals. In the story of how they did it, we see a glimpse of what Glasgow must do now in order to give themselves a chance of qualifying for that final eight. Wasps beat Castres and Harlequins away from home to qualify as one of the best runners-up. Bath beat Montpellier and Toulouse away - with a four-try bonus point - to make it as group winners. Those were major victories on the road and that is now the world that Glasgow have been plunged into in the wake of Saturday's loss to the Saints. The reality of European rugby hit them right between the eyes. The tea-leaves told us that Glasgow would win this. They had a stellar cast of international players. They had home advantage in the fortress of Scotstoun. And they had some form. Northampton had few of those things. They had lost three of their four games in the Aviva Premiership, albeit by narrow margins. From last season's quarter-final team, they were missing the front-row of Alex Corbisiero, Dylan Hartley and Salesi Ma'afu, who is now on Toulon's books. One of their go-to second-rows from last season, Samu Manoa, has also gone to Toulon and the other, Courtney Lawes, is injured. This was a new Saints pack at Scotstoun and yet they were convincing winners in every department. Glasgow had a beaten scrum and had a ropey line-out, they were second best in the collisions and error-prone at critical times. Warriors can get away with some of these things - and occasionally many of these things - in the more merciful environment of the Pro12. Not so in Europe. Certainly not against a team as rugged as Northampton, a side who spend their weekly lives engaged in dogfights in the Premiership. They were battle-hardened and clinical on Saturday in a way that Glasgow were not. The scrum wasn't even a contest. Northampton won six penalties in that area. They garnered six points and a sin-binning, which brought a converted try, from their overwhelming dominance in the scrum. Kieran Brookes, at tight-head, had a field day. They looked like men with twin targets - not just Champions Cup but, for some, the Six Nations. When Eddie Jones, the new England coach, gets a look at Brookes' performance, he's going to like what he sees. When he watches Luther Burrell, jettisoned by Stuart Lancaster, he's going to like it all the more. Burrell was top class. Northampton drive on. They were tougher, physically and mentally, than Glasgow. The group now looks like a scrap between them and Racing 92, who took five points from the Scarlets in Wales, unless Glasgow can find the kind of venom that typified the Saints. It was sobering stuff for coach Gregor Townsend. It's been an age since a team came to his own backyard and beat them up like Northampton did. In truth, there was a large element of self-harm about it as well. The game was in its relative infancy when Glasgow's composure went out the window. In failing to get close to a garryowen, Stuart Hogg set a hare running, the hare going by the name of George Pisi, who ploughed over under the posts. Then Glasgow's scrum came under fire. It went down, it went down, it went down. Three scrum penalties inside 19 minutes and Ryan Grant in the bin for the third. This was a new kind of examination for Townsend's Pro12 champions. The vulnerabilities carried on. Hogg missed a routine tackle on Ahsee Tuala and Saints were in again. Peter Horne, that stand-up guy in the Glasgow midfield, scored a try of his own to cut the deficit to eight points, but Stephen Myler stretched it to 11 before the break. Glasgow had enough ball to make a game of it. Even after Tuala scored his second try, the home team had a mountain of possession and any number of promising field positions. Eventually they scored, through Josh Strauss, but there were so many butchered moments in there too. A maul shunted backwards out of the Northampton 22, a knock-on when momentum was building, a dreadful under-throw from their new Georgian hooker, Shalva Mamukashvili, at a line-out five metres from the Northampton line. It was a recurring theme. Glasgow would inch forward, Scotstoun would rise to its feet and then Northampton would turn on the turbo defence and Glasgow would buckle. The thunderous defence of the visitors didn't just repel Glasgow physically, it damaged them mentally. Their intensity got into the Glasgow psyche. Saints messed with their heads all day. It was a deeply uncomfortable experience for the Pro12, in general, and, particularly, for those who believed in Glasgow's capacity to make the step up in Europe at last. They have a mountain of work ahead of them if they are to be relevant in this tournament this season. The hope has not been extinguished, but it's flickering.

The Champions Cup is such unforgiving terrain that already Glasgow Warriors are looking ahead and trying to figure out what they might have to do to make amends for their wounding defeat to Northampton Saints at Scotstoun on Saturday.

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.

Thousands of torch-bearers will form a kilometre-long river of fire during celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of the Forth Road Bridge.

The IFG says legislation will be needed to establish new policies on areas such as customs and immigration. The extra measures will place "a huge burden" on Parliament and government departments, the think tank says. The attitude of the SNP may also affect the passage of Brexit laws, it adds. In its report, Legislating Brexit, the IFG says that with the average Queen's Speech announcing only 20 new bills, the introduction of 15 Brexit bills before the UK even exits the EU "will leave very little space for non-Brexit related legislation". The report comes as Theresa May travels to Swansea with Brexit Secretary David Davis, where she will talk about the "precious union" of the UK. The prime minister will meet First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones, as well as local businesses, as she tries to show she is including all areas of Britain in negotiations with the EU. Mrs May will say: "I want every part of the United Kingdom to be able to make the most of the opportunities ahead." The IFG report anticipates the new bills will be in addition to the Great Repeal Bill, which will scrap the 1972 European Communities Act that paved the way for the UK to enter the then-EEC, ending the legal authority of EU law. The IFG - an independent charity that aims to increase government effectiveness - says departments will need "ruthlessly to prioritise" other legislation and find non-legislative routes to get the laws through, particularly given the government's narrow Commons majority. It warns that this will mean ministers having to achieve a fine balance between giving too little parliamentary scrutiny and too prolonged, in-depth examination of Brexit-related legislation. The IFG also argued that "a lack of clarity" about the role the devolved legislatures will play in legislating for Brexit could pose a problem. "The attitude that the Scottish National Party (SNP) takes to the passage of Brexit-related legislation in Westminster could affect the smoothness with which that legislation passes through Parliament if they join forces with the Labour Party and Conservative rebels," the report says. Dr Hannah White, IFG's director of research, said the government had finite resources to draft new legislation and Brexit bills would take a "big chunk" out of its capacity to legislate in other areas. "In the first session after the 2015 election the government passed 23 bills," she told BBC Radio 4's Today. "So that's roughly the capacity that there is in government to draft these bills and in Parliament, in terms of parliamentary time, to pass them." The reality, she suggested, was that the government's domestic priorities would "take a hit in the next couple of sessions". "There'll have to be some really tight prioritisation in government to work out what else is going to be done aside from the Brexit legislation. "The legislation required for Brexit will leave little parliamentary time for anything else - and making a success of it will require a large volume of bills and secondary legislation to be passed by Parliament against a hard deadline." The Queen gave Royal Assent to the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill last week, clearing the way for Theresa May to start talks to leave the European Union. The Bill allows the prime minister to notify Brussels that the UK is leaving the EU, with a two-year process of exit negotiations to follow. Mrs May says she will trigger the process by the end of the month.

Parliament might have to scrutinise up to 15 new bills to deliver Brexit, leaving little time for other legislation, the Institute for Government has warned.

A fire was started when the building was broken into sometime between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. The museum is located in the Bogside, close to where some of the 14 victims of Bloody Sunday were killed in 1972. John Kelly, whose brother, Michael, was killed said the damage to the building could have been a lot worse. "I looked at it and thought: "Good God, if that had really caught fire, we could have had an explosion". A £2.4m reconstruction of the Glenfada Park museum began in 2015 and is now close to completion. Mr Kelly has been working on the project for the past 10 years. "It shows total disrespect for my brother and all those who died during Bloody Sunday and all the others who lost their lives in that period of time, total disrespect for our family members and their memory," he said. "The police told me there was a fire and it was in the back store, that's where we have the gas mains and electronic equipment as well. "The building is next door to people's houses and everyone could have been affected by it. It didn't travel any further, thank God, and we still have an intact building," Mr Kelly added. Building site foreman Dermott McGrotty said they have now improved security at the site. "They had to climb over an eight foot fence to get in, so overnight security has now been arranged and we're making sure the doors are well secured." The Northern Ireland Fire Service is treating the fire as deliberate. The police have appealed for information.

An arson attack on the site of the new Museum of Free Derry shows "total disrespect" for victims, a Bloody Sunday relative has said.

Shafiq Mohammed was also found to have resisted arrest at a demonstration in Monkton, South Ayrshire, in 2015. The 50-year-old former Scottish Refugee Council worker was said to have verbally abused a woman and three men. However, the sheriff did not formally proceed to conviction of the accused in respect of the charges. At Ayr Sheriff Court, Sheriff Weir said he would consider a submission from Mr Mohammed's lawyer under section 246 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 when a further hearing is held in December. He adjourned the case for the preparation of a criminal justice social work report. During the court case, the sheriff heard how tempers flared as members of the far-right anti-immigration Scottish Defence League staged a counter demonstration against pro-refugee demonstrators on 15 November last year. It followed 150 refugees being granted emergency accommodation at the Ayrshire town's Adamton Country House Hotel. Mr Mohammed was said to have shouted that the group were "nothing but white bastards". He denied behaving in a racially aggravated manner which was intended to cause alarm and distress. Mr Mohammed claimed the four witnesses had conspired to make up the allegations against him. Sheriff Robert Weir QC found that Mr Mohammed had behaved in the manner outlined in the charges but opted to reserve his verdict, adjourning the case until December. He said it had been a "troubled case" and said the atmosphere at the rally had been "rendered toxic by other people". The sheriff told Mr Mohammed his actions were "to be deplored". The court heard Mr Mohammed had previously worked for property firm Orchard & Shipman, which has been paid more than £60m to house refugees in Scotland. He is currently involved in the Asylum Seeker Housing (ASH) Project - an organisation campaigning on asylum seeker housing issues in the west of Scotland.

A pro-refugee campaigner racially abused counter demonstrators at a rally to welcome Syrian refugees to Scotland, a court has heard.

The visitors went ahead thanks to a 24th minute penalty by Peter Whittingham, but were pegged back by a great strike from substitute Sullay Kaikai with six minutes left. Neil Warnock's men thought they had snatched the win when Kenneth Zohore raced clear to score on 88 minutes. But in added time, Kaikai headed in to frustrate the Bluebirds. It was a showing which will have frustrated Bluebirds' boss Warnock, who has bemoaned his side's defending as they look to escape the relegation battle at the bottom of the Championship. Whittingham, nearing a decade at the Welsh club, coolly gave Cardiff the lead from the spot after referee Simon Hooper decided Andreas Bjelland brought Cardiff defender Sean Morrison down in the box. Brentford huffed and puffed for an equaliser and might have had it sooner but for a couple of fine saves from Brian Murphy, who was making his debut in the Cardiff goal. In the second half, Murphy first denied Ryan Woods and then pulled off an even better stop to thwart John Egan with 15 minutes left. Murphy was finally beaten when 21-year-old Kaikai cut inside from the left and fired home an excellent shot. Zohore looked to have had the final say for the visitors when he poked beneath onrushing goalkeeper Daniel Bentley, but more drama followed when Bees defender John Egan crossed for Kaikai to head home his second and earn Dean Smith's side a point. Brentford manager Dean Smith: "I find it amazing that we have not had a single penalty this season but we have been there before. The officiating has not been the best this season and that is something that needs to improve. "That said, we should not have got ourselves into that position in the first place. "We started brightly but then they got the penalty and we lost a bit of confidence. "We started to go a little bit more direct but we had a talk at half-time and came out a lot stronger." Cardiff manager Neil Warnock: "We can be a decent team but a team has to be 11 lads on the same wavelength or opponents at this level will find you out. "One or two out there didn't have the desire when we needed it most and need to look at themselves." "The lads want to punish me. They don't want to make it easy for me. "It seems like a loss to be honest. Some of our experienced lads have to stand up - we have one or two who just please themselves instead of taking the game by the scruff of the neck."

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

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

But the Frenchman's situation remains "challenging" and the 25-year-old is in a critical but stable condition. Earlier, Bianchi's father Philippe had described the situation as "desperate". "Every time the telephone goes, we know it could be the hospital to tell us that Jules is dead," he said. "He will not give up, I'm sure of that. I can see it. I believe it." He added in an interview with Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport: "I speak to him. I know he can hear me. "His doctors have told us that this is already a miracle, no-one has ever survived such a serious accident. But Jules won't give up. "His trainer Andrea says that if there is one person who can make it happen with his will, it's Jules." Philippe said the family had been touched by the show of support from other Formula 1 drivers, who gathered at the front of the grid before the Russian Grand Prix, arms around each other's shoulders, forming a 'circle of solidarity' for Jules. "I've never seen anything like that," Philippe said. "It touched us very deeply. We thank every one of them. So many of them have been in touch, written to me; [Fernando] Alonso, [Jean-Eric] Vergne, [Felipe] Massa have given strong messages. "[Lewis] Hamilton wrote me a beautiful email in which he says that if there is anything he can do, he's there. [Valentino] Rossi and [Marc] Marquez from Moto GP too." Philippe also said he is using the accident of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, who continues his recovery at home after suffering a head injury in a skiing accident in December, as a reference point. "I was very sad when he got hurt," Philippe said. "I kept wondering, like every one else 'Why don't they tell us more about how he is?'. "But now I'm in the same position I understand. Everyone keeps asking me how Jules is but I can't reply, there is no answer. It's very serious but he's stable. "One day he seems a bit better, other days a bit worse. The doctors don't say. The damage from the accident is very bad but we don't know how it will evolve. "Even with Schumacher it took months to come out of the coma. [FIA president] Jean Todt said he hopes Michael will one day be able to have a normal life. One day I hope we can say the same about Jules." He added: "It's tough. In a week the life of this family has been destroyed. What are we doing here? Living a nightmare in a place very far from home. "But when Jules gets a bit better we can transfer him, maybe to Tokyo and things will be a bit easier. But who knows when that will happen. If it will happen. We have no certainties, we just have to wait."

Marussia's Jules Bianchi has faced "a number of medical challenges" after sustaining severe head injuries in a crash at the Japanese Grand Prix, his team and family said in a statement.

The ex-Villa player and Nottingham Forest boss, 51, quit his role as Chris Hughton's number two prior to Friday's 1-1 draw between the two sides. "When I heard Colin was interested he shot to the top of the pile," Villa boss Steve Bruce told the club website. "We interviewed two or three people but once I knew Colin was available there was only one person I wanted here." The move to the West Midlands gives Calderwood, who also previously managed Hibernian and Northampton Town, a shorter daily commuting distance from his Northampton home. Media playback is not supported on this device A Brighton statement released on Friday said Calderwood, who was placed on gardening leave on 12 November, had left the club for a job "elsewhere". "We have to move on," added Hughton. "We have a team that is very well drilled at this moment. My main concern is that we have no disruption here. I will think long and hard about bringing someone in that position." Bruce took over as Villa boss on 12 October, bringing in former Birmingham City player Stephen Clemence as head coach, having had him as part of his backroom team at Sunderland and Hull City. The club also named Ian Atkins as their new chief scout/head of European recruitment. Villa director of football Steve Round added: "We are delighted to secure the services of Colin. He is an excellent coach and an outstanding person. "He has a wealth of experience at the highest level and will be a great addition to our management team."

Aston Villa have appointed former Brighton coach Colin Calderwood as their assistant manager to Steve Bruce.

Activities also include wife carrying, husband dragging, gravy wrestling, Russian egg roulette, backward running, worm charming and ditch racing. The games, in Llanwrtyd Wells, continue every weekend until 29 August. Bog snorkelling has taken place in the town for 31 years and in 2012 other activities were added as a Wales-focused alternative to the Olympics. Economy Secretary Ken Skates said it was "a credit to Wales" which "puts a smile on faces". There will be 60 different activities and the bog snorkelling takes place on 28 August.

The World Alternative Games and bog snorkelling championships take place in Powys from Friday.

The 51-year-old had been negotiating a release from his contract following a rift with the board over his budget. Hughes has been with the Highlanders since December 2013 and won the Scottish Cup last year, the club's first major honour. "John will be remembered as a member of a great winning team," read a brief statement from Inverness CT. Hughes had become increasingly frustrated at the loss of key squad members and spoke of his disappointment when an approach from Dundee United was blocked earlier this season. Having previously managed at Falkirk, Hibernian, Hartlepool and Livingston, he replaced Terry Butcher at the Caledonian Stadium. As well as lifting the Scottish Cup, Hughes steered Inverness to a third place finish in the Premiership last season, with this campaign opening with their first taste of European football. In March 2014, Inverness reached the League Cup final, losing on penalties to Aberdeen. The Inverness statement contained a message on behalf of Hughes, saying: "I will look back on my time in the Highlands with a genuine fondness and warm affection for the club, the area and the community. "The welcome I received from the fans and the response I got from the players throughout my two-and-a-half years there will live long in the memory as will everything else we shared in some of the ground-breaking successes we all enjoyed together during that period. "I can readily assure my successor that they will inherit an excellent group of players and to each and every one of them could I also say a huge thanks for making my time with them so successful and so memorable - I wish them and the club every success in the future."

Inverness Caledonian Thistle have confirmed the departure of manager John Hughes.

The package on offer from the government includes a pay rise and a reduction in the retirement age. The deal will now be put to a ballot of the union's membership. Up to 10,000 prison officers in England and Wales protested last month over claims of a "surge" in jail violence. They stopped work over claims of a "surge in violence" in jails but returned to work after a High Court injunction ordered them to end their 24-hour protest. Under the agreement, prison officers will be allowed to retire at 65 - up to three years ahead of the current state pension age - at no cost to them and with full pension benefits. Uniformed staff will also be given consolidated pay rises of between 0.5% and 1% for each of the next three years, on top of usual performance-related pay increases. They also stand to receive a "recognition and retention" package totalling £1,000. Prisons minister Sam Gyimah, said the government and POA had also "agreed a significant number of health and safety reforms as well as new powers for governors in terms of how they deploy their staff in prisons". The POA directed members to take action last month after talks with the government over health and safety concerns broke down. It came after multiple high-profile incidents at prisons across England. In October, Jamal Mahmoud, an inmate at HMP Pentonville, died after being stabbed to death in an attack at the prison, which left two others injured. And last month prisoners caused almost £1m of damage during a riot at Bedford prison. Days later at HMP Isle of Wight, an inmate cut a prison officer's throat with a razor blade on the way back to his cell. In an effort to tackle safety issues Justice Secretary Liz Truss unveiled proposals detailing £1.3bn investment in new prisons over the next five years, including plans for 2,100 extra prison officers, drug tests for inmates on entry and exit from prisons, and more autonomy for governors. In response to the new pay deal she said: "This agreement is a good offer which rightly recognises the hard work and dedication of officers across the country doing a tough job."

Leaders of the prison officers union have reached a deal over pay and conditions following concerns about jail safety, the Ministry of Justice has said.

Pawel Sroka, 33, of Meadvale Road, Croydon, was charged on Saturday with the murder of his 29-year-old partner, Joanna Trojniak, of the same address. A special post-mortem examination on 24 March gave the cause of death as a stab wound to the chest. Ms Trojniak's next of kin have been informed. Mr Sroka is due to appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court on 4 April.

A man from Croydon has been charged with murder after the death of his partner last month.

Catherine - also known as the Countess of Strathearn in Scotland - joined dozens of school pupils and teachers at a tennis workshop hosted by Ms Murray in Edinburgh. Earlier she took part in a sing-along on a visit to an Edinburgh school. The events were part of a tour by Catherine of school-based charities in the city. The workshop was part of the Tennis on the Road project created in 2014 by Ms Murray, who is the mother of tennis stars Andy and Jamie. During the duchess' visit, teachers and pupils were taught how to coach and pass on the basics of tennis to children. Ms Murray said Catherine's participation in the class was "fantastic for tennis and women's sport". She added: "She said she'd love to come back and do some more." Earlier in the day, Catherine visited St Catherine's Primary where she joined an assembly. The school is one of 28 in Scotland where counsellors from children's mental health charity Place2Be support pupils having difficulties in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Pupils presented her with a quaich, a Scottish toasting cup, after she sang along to the children's song Welcome Everybody. The duchess, who is the charity's patron, told pupils: "I think everybody should start their morning like that. Have a wonderful day." The duchess, who was carrying out her first solo set of official engagements north of the border, also travelled across the city to Wester Hailes Education Centre to see work being carried out by The Art Room. The charity, of which she is patron, set up its first Scottish studio at the school in 2014 and works with children to increase their self-esteem, self-confidence and independence through art. She was greeted by cheering pupils in the school playground before attending an art session. Pupils involved in the project showed her the work they were producing. Project director Juli Beattie said she was delighted to be able to show the duchess the charity's first Scottish base. She added: "Our presence in Edinburgh represents a new phase in our growth. "The needs of the local community are imperative and our work relies on our partner schools having the vision to host an art-room studio offering early intervention to the children and young people."

The Duchess of Cambridge has shown off her tennis skills during a practice session with Judy Murray.

Miss Beckford, who came to the UK from Jamaica aged 17, was also a prominent race equality campaigner. Marvin Rees said he was "very sad" to hear the news and hers was "a life very well lived". The former midwife, who was the first black recipient of an MBE in the South West, died at a care home in Bristol earlier this week. She helped set up the St Pauls Carnival in 1967, was appointed the first Race Relations Officer in Bristol and also worked alongside the bus boycott campaigner Paul Stephenson, to improve racial equality in the city. Councillor Asher Craig announced Miss Beckford's death and told Bristol24/7: "She was a beautiful woman and had a heart of gold. "She was extremely stylish and was an amazing networker who had all the skills and expertise of a socialite, which she capitalised on in her role as the entertainments officer on the board of St Paul's Carnival. "The legacy of Carmen Beckford's contribution towards helping to create a more equal and integrated city must never be forgotten and I will ensure that it lives on." Miss Beckford is one of "seven saints of St Pauls" who will be commemorated in giant murals, due to be painted by artist Michele Curtis this summer. The portraits of prominent black Bristolians will be painted on houses or prominent buildings along the route of the St Pauls carnival procession.

The mayor of Bristol has led tributes to Carmen Beckford, the founder of St Pauls Carnival, who has died aged 87.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 25-year-old batsman died when he was by a short-pitched delivery in Sydney. The incident was described as a "freak" by medical experts. Hampshire-based manufacturer Masuri has given the BBC an exclusive look at its prototype helmet, which features extra protection at the rear. Media playback is not supported on this device Batting for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield game against New South Wales in Sydney, Hughes was hit by a bouncer from Sean Abbott. The batsman, who was wearing a Masuri helmet, collapsed immediately and died in hospital two days later. After his death, the company began investigating a possible redesign and have introduced a "stemguard", a device made of foam and a rubber-like compound that clips onto the back of a helmet. According to the company, Masuri provide "the most widely used helmet in Professional Cricket". Design consultant Alan Meeks believes it will be both light and robust enough to prevent serious injury "This arrangement of the foam and honeycomb gives as much protection as a hard helmet," he told BBC Sport. "Even though it moves around and will touch the player when the ball hits them, it will absorb a significant amount of energy." The International Cricket Council, which governs the game, has raised its recommendations for helmet safety standards in recent years. Media playback is not supported on this device However, in response to the growth in popularity of the 20-over format of the game, which encourages a greater range of strokes and a riskier style of batting, research and development had focused on protecting a batman's face. The death of Hughes, who played 26 Tests for Australia, changed things. "That tragic event definitely had an impact on the public," said Masuri's managing director, Sam Miller. "I don't think there was a helmet on the market which would have protected Phillip. "There had been some talk of protection to that area in the past, but it had been a footnote." The "stemguard" has been tested extensively in a laboratory while it awaits production. Masuri say they have consulted international cricket boards throughout the design process. A patent for the product is pending but its introduction in matches will depend on players' desire to wear the redesigned helmets.

A British-based firm has designed a cricket helmet aimed at preventing another tragic death like that of Australian Phillip Hughes last year.

Dai Young, boss of Premiership leaders Wasps, expects a number of his in-form players to make the cut. "I'd like to think, the way we've played, we'll have a few in there," Young told BBC Sport. "I know [Jones has] had contact with some of the players on a regular basis - we have got a number in the mix." Jones will also name a trimmed down party of approximately 35 for a training camp in Brighton next week. The final squad before the autumn Tests will be named on 26 October, and with injuries to Wasps' James Haskell and Harlequins' Jack Clifford, England currently have a void at open-side flanker. Northampton's Teimana Harrison started there in England's last match - against Australia in Sydney as Jones' men wrapped up a series whitewash - and is set to be named in Friday's squad. But the Wasps' pair of Guy Thompson and Sam Jones have impressed so far this campaign. "There has been a lot of talk about Guy with his form at the start of the season," added Young. "And everyone knows what a big fan I am of Sam Jones - his work-rate is phenomenal." Hooker Tommy Taylor has been "excellent" according to Young, while Wasps number eight Nathan Hughes is likely to be involved having qualified on residency in the summer. Scrum-halves Joe Simpson and Dan Robson have also both stood out in partnership with fly-half Danny Cipriani. Meanwhile, Leicester flanker Will Evans has been touted as a possible solution to England's number seven conundrum. Evans starred for the Junior World Championship-winning Under-20s in the summer, and followed that by being named in an England training squad in August. It is understood Evans is set be named in the EPS on Friday, but his director of rugby at the Tigers, Richard Cockerill, says the 19-year-old should not yet be thrust into the international arena. "Will is not ready to play international rugby," Cockerill told BBC Sport. "The reality is he has started one game for Leicester, and before that he was playing for Ampthill in National One. "Eddie sees him as a project player and is keen to get the transfer from 20s to the senior group - and his potential is huge. "He is a great young player, who is going to be very, very good. But at the moment but he is not ready yet [for Test rugby]." However, Cockerill feels differently about Mike Williams, the Zimbabwe-born Tigers forward, who is a firm part of Jones' plans, and could even make his England debut come November. "Mike Williams has a little bit more experience," Cockerill said of the 24-year-old. "Given the opportunity he is ready to step up to Test match level today."

England coach Eddie Jones will name his 45-man Elite Player Squad squad ahead of the autumn Tests at 10:00 BST on Friday.

Laura Whittle, third at the British trials, joins compatriots Steph Twell and Eilish McColgan in the 5,000m. Hammer throwers Mark Dry and Chris Bennett have also been granted selectors' picks for places in Rio. It is the highest Scottish representation in track and field since the 1908 London Games, with GB sending an 80-strong team to Brazil. Twell and McColgan were among eight athletes from Scotland who booked their places at the trials in Birmingham last month, with three marathon runners selected in April. Just five Scottish runners made it to London 2012. Team GB will be looking to improve on a haul of six medals from four years ago. Scots in the GB athletics team for Rio 2016: Callum Hawkins, Tsegai Tewelde, Derek Hawkins - marathon Beth Potter - 10,000m Andrew Butchart - 5,000m Eilidh Doyle - 400m Hurdles, 4x400m Relay Lennie Waite - 3,000m Steeplechase Laura Muir - 1500m Chris O'Hare - 1500m Lynsey Sharp - 800m Steph Twell, Eilish McColgan, Laura Whittle - 5,000m Chris Bennett, Mark Dry - hammer

Three more Scots have been added to the Great Britain Olympic athletics team, taking the total up to 15.

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

Dassey and his uncle Steven Avery were convicted of murdering a young woman, Teresa Halbach, in 2005. His conviction was overturned in 2016 on the basis his confession, made as a 16-year-old, was coerced. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Chicago, backed the ruling on Thursday. But the 27-year-old remains in jail, facing the possibility of a retrial. Lawyers have vowed to fight to free Dassey, whose case garnered international attention after featuring in the popular Netflix series. In a joint statement, lawyers said they were "overjoyed", adding: "We look forward to working to secure his release from prison as soon as possible. As of today's date, Brendan Dassey has lost 4,132 days of his life to prison." Making a Murderer investigated the killing of Ms Halbach, whose charred remains were found at Avery's car salvage yard a week after she went there to photograph a minivan for sale, and the subsequent court cases. Dassey, then just 16 years old, confessed to helping his uncle Avery - who had already served 18 years for a crime he did not commit - rape, kill and mutilate Ms Halbach. He was sentenced to life in prison. But the documentary filmmakers cast doubt on the legal process used to convict Dassey and Avery. In 2016, Judge William Duffin ordered he be free immediately after finding investigators in the 2007 trial made "repeated false promises" false promises to Dassey by assuring him "he had nothing to worry about". When considered with "Dassey's age, intellectual deficits, and the absence of a supportive adult", he considered the confession coerced. But Dassey remained in jail while prosecutors appealed the decision. In Chicago on Thursday, they lost that appeal. The court described the method used to get Dassey to confess as "death by a thousand cuts", with judge David Hamilton saying the decision "breaks new ground and poses troubling questions for police and prosecutors". The ruling means Dassey could be released in the next 90 days. However, Johnny Koremenos, a spokesman for Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, said it seemed likely they would appeal it once more. "We anticipate seeking review by the entire Seventh Circuit or the United States Supreme Court and hope that today's erroneous decision will be reversed," he told new agency Reuters in an email.

An US appeals court has upheld a decision to overturn the conviction of Brendan Dassey, whose case was the focus of documentary Making a Murderer.

Real politics will inevitably mean concession and compromise after a campaign in which both sides seemed at times to suggest it was a choice between Utopia and Armageddon. Politicians on the Leave side have already candidly admitted that some of their supporters will be 'disappointed' by the deal that emerges. What some heard as promises may prove to be "just a series of possibilities," as Iain Duncan Smith put it yesterday. Osborne: UK in a position of strength Corbyn vows to fight for leadership EU co-operation to 'intensify' - Johnson Follow the latest developments on our live page UK's EU referendum: All you need to know Equally, on the Remain side there is palpable dismay bordering on despair, but politicians must work hard to ensure that frustration and disillusionment can be quickly soothed. Britain has a tough job on and it will be far harder in a climate of bitterness and division. The campaign itself was unedifying to many. The standing of politicians was frighteningly low before the referendum and one suspects their stock will not have been raised by the events of the last few months. The institutions and public servants whose expertise and motives were called into question at times during the campaign are going to be key to guiding Britain through the turbulent times ahead. The British people must have confidence in their system of governance and their precious democracy at this uncertain time. We have proved to be remarkably resilient in the past. We will need the same grit, determination and courage now. Emotions are running high on both sides of the argument and there will be a need for a calm head at the steering wheel as Britain navigates the "bumps in the road". Offering comfort to foreign-born residents that they will be treated fairly and protected from abuse is essential. The same goes for British ethnic minorities. After all the accusations of lying during the campaign, the public must believe now they are being given honest counsel. The process just beginning will not yield speedy benefits. Some will suggest that the very people who are charged with guiding Britain out of the EU are trying to undermine it. There will be anger and bitterness. It will need to be managed carefully.

Just as the Chancellor spent the morning trying to calm the City, so there will be a need to manage the expectations of the country.

It has been alleged that some details from the paper were shared in advance on a private social media group. The investigation concerns the CCEA A2 business studies paper which candidates sat on the afternoon of Monday 12 June. CCEA chief executive Justin Edwards confirmed they were "aware of an allegation of malpractice". The BBC understands that a small number of pupils from two Belfast grammar schools are involved. The Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) is the Northern Ireland exam setting and qualifications body. When asked by the BBC if an investigation into the paper was taking place, Mr Edwards said that the CCEA investigated all allegations of malpractice. "We are aware of an allegation of malpractice in relation to the A2 business studies examination held last Monday," he said. Sanctions for exam malpractice can include a loss of marks for an exam or disqualification.

Northern Ireland's exams body, CCEA, is investigating an alleged leak of some details from a business studies A-Level paper, the BBC understands.

Officials earlier identified the remains as belonging to a female passenger called Hayati Lutfiah Hamid. Ms Hamid, 49, was buried at a ceremony attended by family and friends in the Indonesian city of Surabaya. The discovery of two bodies on Thursday brings the number recovered to nine. Bad weather has continued to hamper the search for the plane and other victims. The Airbus A320-200 came down four days ago en route from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on board. No survivors have been found and the cause of the crash remains unknown. The identity of Ms Hamid was confirmed using fingerprints "and other means," East Java disaster official Col Budiyono said. Her body was handed over to family members in a brief ceremony at a police hospital in Surabaya. The coffin was then transported to a village, before being buried according to Islamic burial customs. One of Ms Hamid's relatives told AP news agency: "We have been fraught with worry because at this point, three of our family members are still missing... we pray together every night that they will be found soon." Previous media reports had incorrectly identified Ms Hamid as a flight attendant. The nine recovered bodies were flown to an airbase in Borneo but some have since been sent onto Surabaya where relatives, providing DNA samples, are waiting for them to be identified. For a second day in a row, search efforts have been hampered by heavy rain and rough seas. Some 50 divers from Indonesia were on standby to investigate a large shadow in the sea, thought to be part of the airliner, but they were unable to gain access due to the bad weather. AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes said on Thursday he believed the search was closing in on its final location, tweeting: "I am hoping that the latest information is correct and aircraft has been found." Ships and planes have been scouring the Java Sea off Borneo since the plane disappeared on Sunday. Malaysia, Australia and Thailand are helping Indonesia with the search, while the US destroyer USS Sampson has been sent to the zone. They are hoping to locate the fuselage of the plane on the seabed and find the plane's "black box" recorders, which could provide clues about the cause of the crash. "It's possible the bodies are in the fuselage," said search and rescue co-ordinator Sunarbowo Sand. "It's a race now against time and weather." Flight QZ8501, from Surabaya in Java to Singapore, disappeared on Sunday. Debris from the plane was located in the sea on Tuesday. There were 137 adult passengers, 17 children and one infant, along with two pilots and five crew, on the plane. The majority of those on board were Indonesians. Some investigators are reported to believe that the plane may have gone into an aerodynamic stall as the pilot climbed steeply to avoid a storm. Officials quoted by the Reuters news agency say that the plane was travelling at 32,000ft (9,750m) when it requested to climb to 38,000ft to avoid bad weather. When air traffic controllers consented to allow it to climb to 34,000ft a few minutes later, they got no reply. A source quoted by Reuters said that radar data appeared to show that the aircraft's "unbelievably" steep climb may have been beyond the Airbus A320's limits. However, the unnamed source emphasised that more information was needed before a definitive conclusion could be reached. AirAsia previously had an excellent safety record and there were no fatal accidents involving its aircraft.

The first victim of AirAsia Flight QZ8501, found in the Java Sea after the crash on Sunday, has been laid to rest.

Dywedodd Charles Hendry, awdur yr adroddiad, y gallai morlynnoedd llanw fod yn "ddiwydiant newydd cyffrous a phwysig i'r Deyrnas Unedig". "Ar ôl astudio'r dystiolaeth a siarad â phobl allweddol ar y ddwy ochr, fy marn i yw y dylen ni gymryd y cyfle nawr i symud 'mlaen â'r dechnoleg," meddai. Ychwanegodd fodd bynnag y dylid aros i'r morlyn yn Abertawe gael ei adeiladu ac yna asesu ei effaith, cyn cymeradwyo prosiectau mwy mewn rhannau eraill o'r DU. Mae gwrthwynebwyr i'r cynllun wedi mynegi pryder am ei effaith ar fywyd gwyllt a'r amgylchedd, a hefyd wedi codi amheuon a fydd yn cynnig gwerth am arian. Ar gais Llywodraeth Prydain, fe wnaeth y cyn weinidog ynni Charles Hendry dreulio bron i flwyddyn yn astudio ymarferoldeb y cynlluniau. Gobaith y datblygwyr yw sefydlu rhwydwaith o forlynnoedd ar hyd arfordir y DU, gan ddechrau yn Abertawe. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi croesawu casgliadau'r adroddiad. Wrth ymateb i'r adroddiad, dywedodd Ceri Davies o Gyfoeth Naturiol Cymru: "Mae datblygu ffynonellau newydd o ynni adnewyddol sydd yn lleihau niwed i'r amgylchedd yn nod yr ydym yn ei gefnogi'n llawn. "Mae defnyddio'r llanw i greu ynni adnewyddol yn beth cymharol newydd ac mae'n beth cymleth iawn. Nid oes neb wedi casglu tystiolaeth o'r blaen am y dechnoleg yma sy'n cael ei ddefnyddio am y tro cyntaf. "Rydym yn cydweithio'n agos gyda datblygwyr y cynllun morlyn arfaethedig yn Abertawe a gydag arbennigwyr eraill i sicrhau ein bod yn gwneud hyn yn fanwl ac yn deg." Byddai'r cynllun ym Mae Abertawe yn cynnwys 16 o dyrbinau ar hyd morglawdd newydd, ond mae'n cael ei weld fel cynllun prawf ar gyfer cynlluniau llawer mwy. Gallai'r rhain gynnwys safleoedd yng Nghymru ym Mae Caerdydd, Casnewydd a Bae Colwyn, ac yn Lloegr, oddi ar arfordir Cumbria a Bae Bridgwater. Dywed Ysgrifennydd Cymru, Alun Cairns fod y Llywodraeth yn edrych ymlaen at astudio adroddiad Charles Hendry "a phenderfynu sut y gall lagwnau gyfrannu at anghenion ynni Cymru a gweddill y DU." Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi croesawu'r adroddiad. Dywedodd llefarydd: "Mae hyn yn amlwg yn cynnig cyfleoedd sylweddol posib i Gymru. "Mae morlynnoedd yn cynnig cyfle i gyfrannu at ddiwydiant ffyniannus Cymreig sydd yn cynnig ffyniant tra'n cefnogi ein hamcanion di-garboneiddio ehangach. "Rydym yn croesawu'r sylw fod achos cryf iawn dros sefydlu Morlyn Llanw Bae Abertawe fel cynllun bychan arloesol i liniaru'r tir, yn dibynnu ar dderbyn cymeradwyaeth." Dywedodd Hugh McNeal, pennaeth Abertawe RenewableUK , y corff sy'n cynrychioli cwmnïau yn y sector ynni adnewyddol glan, fod yr adroddiad yn rhoi cymeradwyaeth i fenter Bae Abertawe. "Nawr, dylai Llywodraeth ddod â'r broses o drafod i ben fel bod y gwaith ar yr isadeiladwaith yn gallu dechrau mor fuan â phosib." Dadansoddiad yr gohebydd amgylchedd, Steffan Messenger Heb os, mae'r adroddiad yn bleidlais o hyder yng ngweledigaeth y cwmni, sy'n gobeithio datblygu morlynnoedd llanw cynta'r byd. A geiriad neges Charles Hendry i Lywodraeth Prydain yn drawiadol o glir. Byddai bwrw ati a'r morlyn arbrofol cynta' un ym Mae Abertawe yn bolisi "na fyddai neb yn ei ddifaru" maes o law, meddai. "Dwi ddim yn credu y bydd na unrhyw ddadlau yn y degawdau i ddod nad hyn oedd y peth iawn i'w wneud." Ond mae 'na argymhellion na fydd Tidal Lagoon Power mor hapus i'w gweld, gan gynnwys y dylai'r cytundebau i ddatblygu unrhyw forlynnoedd eraill yn y dyfodol gael eu cynnig drwy broses tendro agored. A dylai fod bwlch o rai blynyddoedd hefyd, medd Charles Hendry, cyn bod y gwaith o ganiatau datblygiad morlynnoedd mwy o faint yn dechrau. Hynny er mwyn dysgu gwersi a sicrhau nad yw'r morlynnoedd yn niweidiol i'r amgylchedd. Bydd grwpiau amgylcheddol fel yr RSPB, yr Ymddiriedolaethau Bywyd Gwyllt ac eraill yn falch o weld hynny. Tra'u bod yn croesawi potential y morlynnoedd i gynnig ynni glan, dy'n nhw heb eu persawdio eto na fydd effaith ar fywyd gwyllt. Mae Tidal Lagoon Power yn mynnu na fydd eu morlynnoedd yn brifo natur ac yn addo gwario miliynau i sicrhau hynny. Ond mae'r cwmni yn dal i fod mewn trafodaethau a Chyfoeth Naturiol Cymru ynglŷn â'r drwydded forol sy'n rhaid iddyn nhw ei sicrhau cyn bod unrhyw waith adeiladu yn medru dechrau. Mae 'na gryn anghydweld ynglŷn â'r effaith posib ar bysgod yn benodol. Dwi ar ddeall fod TLP wedi cyflwyno tystiolaeth newydd i CNC a falle bydd yn rhaid i'r corff amgylcheddol gynnal ail ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus cyn cytuno ar drwydded forol. Gallai hynny gymryd amser. Ond gyda'r adolygiad heddi mor glir yn ei gefnogaeth, fe fydd na bwysau ar bawb sy' ynghlwm â'r prosiect - o Lywodraeth Prydain i Gyfoeth Naturiol Cymru - i ddatgan be'n union yw eu safbwynt... cyn hir. Bwriad y cwmni yw dechrau'r gwaith adeiladu o fewn blwyddyn i gael caniatâd gan y Llywodraeth. "Fe all lagŵn llanw cynta'r byd ym Mae Abertawe ddarparu ar gyfer ein hanghenion ynni cenedlaethol a chreu swyddi lleola am ddegawdau," meddai. Mae Cyfeillion y Ddaear hefyd wedi croesawu'r cyhoeddiad gan ddweud y gallai lagŵn ym Mae Abertawe chwarae "rôl allweddol wrth gynhyrchu ynni glan i Gymru." "Er hyn, mae'n bwysig bod ystyriaeth gywir yn cael ei roi i unrhyw effaith bosib ar fywyd gwyllt a'r amgylchedd cyn bod unrhyw ddatblygiad yn cael caniatâd," meddai llefarydd Ond yn ôl Ymddiriedolaeth Pysgotwyr, mae'r adroddiad wedi methu ag ymchwilio yn llawn i effaith codi lagŵn o'r fath. Dywedodd Mark Lloyd, prif weithredwr yr Ymddiriedolaeth, y dylai mwy o ystyriaeth "gael ei roi i astudio'r syniadau a thechnoleg fwy diweddar' i'r defnydd posib o ynni llawn." Mae'r Ymddiriedolaeth hefyd yn dweud fod yr adroddiad yn gwneud eu damcaniaethau economaidd ar lagŵn fyddai'n para 120 o flynyddoedd, sef dwbl y 60 mlynedd oedd yr amcangyfrif cyntaf ar gyfer asesu'r prosiect. Bydd angen i'r datblygwr, Tidal Lagoon Power, ddod i gytundeb gyda Llywodraeth Prydain ynglŷn â'r cymhorthdal fydd yn cael ei dalu am drydan o'r safle. Mae'r cwmni yn dweud y bydd Abertawe yn profi'r dechnoleg, ond yn gallu cynhyrchu hyd at 12% o ynni'r DU yn y pendraw. Yn ôl y cwmni, bydd y safle yn cynhyrchu trydan am 120 o flynyddoedd, ac maen nhw'n ceisio am gytundeb am daliad o £89.90 i bob megawat awr (MWh). Byddai hynny'n is na'r £92.50 i bob MWh i orsaf pŵer niwclear Hinkley C. Mae hefyd angen trwydded forol gan y corff sy'n gyfrifol am yr amgylchedd, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru. Er i dros 20 o gwmnïau annog i'r cynllun gael ei gymeradwyo yn gynharach yn yr wythnos, mae pryderon yn dal i fod am effaith amgylcheddol ar bysgod, adar a'r posibilrwydd am lifogydd. Mae llywydd Cymdeithas, Cymdeithas Brithyll ac Eog Cymru, Rhys Llywelyn yn rhybuddio y gallai'r cynllun gael effaith andwyol ar stoc bysgod: "Ma'r niwed i bysgod a rhywogaethau eraill yn mynd i fod yn anferth, ond hefyd, os dy' chi'n edrych ar yr ochr economaidd, dyw'r syms ddim yn neud synnwyr a dweud y gwir wrthoch chi. "Maen nhw'n son am gynllun dros 95 neu 120 o flynyddoedd, lle mewn gwirionedd, dyw'r project yma ddim yn mynd i bara 40, 30, 20 mlynedd, a byddwn ni'n cael ein gadael gyda'r peth ofnadwy yma yn llygru Bae Abertawe."

Mae adroddiad annibynnol sydd wedi ei gyhoeddi ddydd Iau yn argymell adeiladu morlyn llanw gwerth £1.3bn ym Mae Abertawe.

Celtic completed a domestic treble after Tom Rogic scored a stoppage-time winner in a 2-1 win at Hampden Park. "We asked for that near-perfect performance and thought there was more to come from us," said manager McInnes. "But we ran out of legs. It is our 351st day today since we reported back for pre-season." That was because they were in the Europa League qualifiers after finishing runners-up to Celtic last season in the Scottish Premiership. It was the same story in the league this season and Aberdeen also lost the League Cup final to Brendan Rodgers' side. "It was fiercely fought and the performance was what I expected and what I was looking for," said McInnes. "But we came here to win, so obviously there's real disappointment. "When it goes into injury time, a goal against you is always a sore one to take, but when it's a cup final, it just compounds it even more. "It was like two proper heavyweights scrapping and fighting each other and everybody trying to find answers." Aberdeen went ahead through Jonny Hayes after nine minutes, but Stuart Armstrong equalised two minutes later before Celtic completed their sixth win over the Dons this season. "It was a huge effort from everyone and a real confident display from us for large spells of the game," said McInnes, who lamented a stray pass in front of goal from Hayes to Kenny McLean. "We had moments in the game when we could have got ourselves in front again. "It is all about those big moments. Kenny's got a chance. If he stands still, maybe it goes in, but it's just been a misunderstanding between the two of them. "We implemented how we wanted to go about our business and get after them and Celtic struggled to get any real flow or rhythm into their game and that was important. "We've done that in our previous two league games against them and we've had good spells in the game, something similar to today." Rogic proved a thorn in Aberdeen's side again, with his fourth goal against the Dons this season. "Celtic have got class players that can constantly ask the question of you," admitted McInnes. "Rogic shows a bit of class. You've got to applaud and commend that level of skill, but we're disappointed we haven't won the cup because we wanted to win it for so many people."

Derek McInnes says his beaten Aberdeen players gave him the "near-perfect" Scottish Cup final performance he asked for but paid for an extra-long season.

Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (OCCG), which overseas health services, has said the non-emergency service lacks "resilience". South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) runs the phone line and has said calls have increased by 16% in the last year. It claimed staff shortages contributed to problems in answering calls. In a risk assessment report published by OCCG, it said: "Patient safety in the 111 service will be compromised due to performance issues caused by a lack of resilience to peaks in demand." OCCG has ranked the phone line as a "red risk", the highest category for risks to patient safety. It comes after an undercover investigation by the Daily Telegraph in June recorded a worker at SCAS's 111 call centre in Bicester, Oxfordshire, saying all staff had "killed someone indirectly". After the report prompted an investigation in January, the Care Quality Commission said the service was "safe and effective". The ambulance trust said that a 16% increase in call volume meant phone handlers could not answer calls "as quickly as we would like". In January alone, the service received 173,563 calls on both their 999 and 111 phone lines. SCAS has also said that a recruitment shortfall has contributed to issues in responding to calls. A spokesperson added: "We are working hard to improve our response to the patients who require our assistance. "We are continuing to recruit staff to the NHS 111 service across our area." SCAS provides ambulance services for Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire and Buckinghamshire.

The safety of patients using the 111 service in Oxfordshire could be "compromised", according to the county's leading health body.

The 22-year-old helped Southend win promotion out of League Two last season, scoring a late equaliser in the play-off final against Wycombe. He spent the first half of this season back on loan at the Shrimpers, scoring five goals in 28 matches. Pigott is reunited with Luton boss Nathan Jones, who was his under-21 manager at the Addicks.

League Two side Luton Town have signed Charlton Athletic striker Joe Pigott on loan until the end of the season.

Two sections of the A3055 Undercliff Drive suffered landslips in February 2014, creating a three-mile detour between Niton and St Lawrence. Some residents, frustrated with delays, resurfaced the road themselves in October 2014, but the council shut it again for safety reasons. The authority says the new route will only be open for local access. The landslide, which happened during work to repair the road, caused eight homes to be evacuated. The council said the collapse was caused by unusually heavy rain in an area of "known land instability" where there had been numerous landslips in the past. The authority's planning committee has approved a new route, slightly inland, providing full access for local residents' vehicles, walkers, cyclists and horse riders, but closed to through traffic. The work will be carried out by the authority's contractor Island Roads under an existing Private Finance Initiative (PFI) deal. The company said the work would last eight weeks. Resident Tim Wright said the solution was a "temporary scheme" which failed to address drainage problems. The council said "retaining the existing drainage arrangements for the highway would not increase the potential for ground movement to occur". Planning chairman Bob Blezzard said he hoped in the future there would be another application for the road to be "fully reinstated".

A main road on the Isle of Wight is to be repaired more than two years after it collapsed due to heavy rain.

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.

Owen Smith has been explaining why he hopes to stand for the Labour leadership.

The 24-year-old Australian has spent his entire professional career to date at Newcastle, making his debut in 2014. He has made 44 appearances, five of them coming in 2017. "His position is one that we identified at the start of the season that we did not have a great deal of depth," said Trinity head coach Chris Chester. "By bringing in Tyler, it will bring in a genuine competition and add quality to what is already a strong squad."

Wakefield Trinity have signed hooker Tyler Randell from NRL side Newcastle Knights on a two-year contract from the start of the 2018 season.

As George and Amal Clooney welcome their newborn babies, social media has been full of joy. First, all fine with the names. Before we continue, have you read their statement? "Ella, Alexander and Amal are all healthy, happy and doing fine. George is sedated and should recover in a few days." Got the joke? Next, as you would expect, some are wondering what they will look like. Finally, some took an issue with how some media outlets reported the news - like a tweet by the Associated Press news agency which described Amal as "wife of George Clooney". Now, if you still don't know what we're talking about... Find out here

It's Ella and Alexander, in case you haven't heard.

The 29-year-old forward has signed what the Red Devils describe as a "long-term contract" at the AJ Bell Stadium. McCarthy has previously played in Super League with Hull KR and Warrington, helping Wolves win the Challenge Cup. "Tyrone is a really big signing for us. He is a bloke that leads with his actions," said head coach Ian Watson. "Not only will he bring ability and experience to the side, but also leadership. "His attitude and commitment to play for his team-mates is first class and that is exactly what we need at this stage of the season." McCarthy, who has 12 international caps and played for his country at the 2013 World Cup, will be available for the Super 8s phase of the season, with Salford sitting third in Super League with one round of the regular season remaining.

Salford have signed Ireland international Tyrone McCarthy from Australian NRL side St George Illawarra Dragons with immediate effect.

The price of Brent crude oil fell below $39 a barrel at one point, its lowest since December 2008. The IEA said demand in the current quarter was growing by 1.3 million barrels a day, down from 2.2 million barrels in the previous quarter. The IEA predicts that will slip back to 1.2 million barrels a day next year. The price of Brent crude fell to $38.90 a barrel at one point, before recovering slightly to $39.13 - still down 60 cents in the trading session. US crude oil also fell, down 50 cents to $36.12 a barrel. Oil prices are down more than 10% over the week. The trigger was a meeting of oil producers' cartel Opec late last week, which broke up in disarray as the member countries failed to agree to put a lid on production. Opec producers pumped more oil in November than in any month since late 2008, almost 32 million barrels per day. That comes at a time when the world's economic growth is slowing, blunting demand for raw materials. The IEA said that although consumption was likely to have peaked in the third quarter, demand growth of 1.2 million barrels a day was still healthy. Earlier this week, the US Energy Information Administration forecast that US shale oil production, now a major source of oil supply, would fall in January for the ninth month in a row. Sustained falls in output could help to stabilise the price of oil, although some market forecasters suggest the price could continue to fall to as low as $20 a barrel.

The oil price has fallen to a new seven-year low after the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecast a slowdown in growth in demand for oil.

After an urgent meeting in New York, the council said it would soon adopt a new sanctions resolution in response. Pyongyang said it fired the rocket to place a satellite in orbit - but critics believe the real purpose was to test a ballistic missile. Sunday's launch comes weeks after North Korea held a fourth nuclear test - both acts violate UN resolutions. Speaking after the closed-door talks, Venezuela's UN envoy Rafael Ramirez, the current council president, said: "The members of the Security Council strongly condemn this launch." He called it "a serious violation of the Security Council resolution". US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power said Washington would now "ensure that the Security Council imposes serious consequences" on Pyongyang. "There can be no business as usual," she said, adding that "we'll come up with something tough". Ms Power's words were echoed by Japanese envoy Motohide Yoshikawa, who said sanctions must be strengthened. "The existing sanctions have not stopped North Korea from developing nuclear weapons," he said. The council meeting was requested by South Korea, Japan and the US. North Korea satellite launch - world reaction Why did Kim fire a rocket now? The launch of the rocket was hailed by North Korean media as a "fascinating vapour... trailing in the clear and blue sky in spring of February on the threshold of the Day of the Shining Star". A statement said a new Earth observation satellite, Kwangmyongsong-4, had successfully been put into orbit less than 10 minutes after lift-off from the Sohae space centre in North Phyongan province. Hailing it as part of the country's peaceful space programme, a state TV newsreader said the launch had been ordered by North Korea's leader Kim Jon-un and more satellite launches were planned for the future. South Korean MPs were told by the country's spy agency later on Sunday that the launch should be treated as a ballistic missile test - as the satellite it put into orbit would be useless. The payload was presumed to weigh 200kg (440lbs), double the size of the one launched in 2012, but much lighter than the 800-1,500kg usual for a satellite. The MPs were also reportedly told that North Korea had the technology for intercontinental ballistic missiles and was preparing a fifth nuclear test. North Korea last fired a long-range rocket in 2012 to put, what it said was, a communications satellite into orbit. But experts say no signal has ever been detected. UN Security Council resolutions ban the state from carrying out any nuclear or ballistic missile tests. The North insists its space programme is purely scientific in nature but the US, South Korea and even China say the rocket launches are aimed at developing inter-continental ballistic missiles. North Korea's missile programme How potent are the threats? Isolated country's nuclear tests A world leader in dramatic rhetoric

The UN Security Council has strongly condemned North Korea's launch of a long-range rocket.

Otters were declared extinct on the Japanese islands by its Ministry of the Environment in August 2012. The Skye-based International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF) has been helping with the reintroduction preparations. Dr Takahiro Murakami, who will lead the Japanese visit to Scotland, has never seen otters in the wild. The Japanese otter was believed to be either a subspecies of the Eurasian otter or possibly even a separate species. Conservationists have suggested reintroducing otters to Hokkaido, an island in north Japan. IOSF supports conservation projects across the world. It also rescues and raises orphaned otter cubs.

Conservationists are to visit Skye to learn more about otter habitats ahead of a proposed reintroduction of the mammals to Japan.

The London Taxi Company's (LTC) Ansty Park site in Coventry is the home of its new electric taxi, the TX5. LTC - which now employs up to 1,500 people - has invested more than £300m in the TX5 after manufacturing the black cab in the UK for 69 years. Administrators were called into LTC in 2012 before Chinese carmaker Geely bought the business the following year. Read more news for Coventry and Warwickshire The first electric taxis to roll off the production line will go on sale in London in the final quarter of the year, before being sold around the world early in 2018. It has been described as one of the great comeback stories in UK manufacturing history - and that is exactly what it is. Back in 2013 London Taxis International was on its knees and looking for a new owner. Then Chinese firm Geely came to the rescue and almost immediately announced plans to build a new factory - but not only that, it revealed plans to make electric vehicles and employ more than 1,000 people. It is the first all-new car factory in the Midlands since 2003, when Aston Martin opened its state-of-the-art plant at Gaydon in Warwickshire. That was on a much smaller scale, though. It is also one of the biggest single Chinese investments in the region and it shows that the West Midlands continues to lead the way when it comes to both automotive research and development and production. LTC, previously known as LTI, started life in the 1920s, producing car bodies for Jaguar, Rolls Royce and Bentley. It will retain its existing Holyhead Road premises in Coventry as a paint shop once the production of the existing TX4 taxi ends in the summer. Staff have moved into the Ansty Park plant this month ahead of Wednesday's official lunchtime opening, involving company representatives. The new site will house a research and development centre for the electric vehicle, with engineers accounting for 200 of the newly-created jobs.

A £300m taxi manufacturing plant which created 1,000 new jobs is to be officially opened later.

The firm, which sells its Chevrolet brand in India, said it would continue to provide maintenance services. It also said that its plant in Maharashtra would continue to make cars for overseas markets, mainly central and south American regions. GM has announced similar plans for South and East African markets as part of its global business restructuring. GM puts $1bn India plan 'on hold' The US carmaker said it would stop selling cars in South Africa, and sell its manufacturing business there to Isuzu Motors. It added that Isuzu would also purchase 57.7% shareholding in its East Africa operations, assuming management control. The firm is aiming to make significant savings through these steps. "As a result of these actions, GM expects to realise annual savings of approximately $100m (£77m) and plans to take a charge of approximately $500m in the second quarter of 2017," it said in a statement. GM's announcement comes against the backdrop of predictions that India will become the world's third biggest vehicle market by 2020. But the firm has put faith in exports from India. "In India, our exports have tripled over the past year, and this will remain our focus going forward," GM International president Stefan Jacoby said in a statement. GM had planned to invest $1bn in India to boost its domestic presence, but its sales figures fell below below 1% in the year ended in March 2017. "We determined that the increased investment required for an extensive and flexible product portfolio would not deliver a leadership position or long-term profitability in the domestic market," Mr Jacoby added.

General Motors (GM) has announced that it will stop making cars for the Indian market by the end of 2017.

Investing Solutions received those benefit payments over the past two years by finding properties for single homeless men. The charity, Fresh Start Housing, finds clients from London homeless charities. Neither the charity nor the company act illegally, but a homeless group says the relationship is "a new low". Investing Solutions said "the bulk" of their rents get passed to private landlords, while Fresh Start said they referred clients to both Investing Solutions and private landlords. The letting agent makes money by putting several unrelated people in one house and charging housing benefit for each person, rather than the property. Therefore, the total benefit payout is higher than the rent fee passed on to the property's landlord. Both Investing Solutions and Fresh Start are based in the same building, a storage unit in south London. Records held at Companies House show Investing Solutions was set up in 2002 by Samir Patel, who then set up Fresh Start Housing in 2010. The documents say the charity would help "the needs of current and ex-offenders with a wider goal to reduce poverty, sickness and distress". Operating across seven London boroughs, Investing Solutions is one of the largest recipients of housing benefit in the UK, making the venture hugely profitable. In one property we visited, Investing Solutions was claiming £2,114 per month in housing benefit for two tenants. The owner of the house was getting £1,150 per month, giving the agency an annual gross profit of £11,568 on the one property. The company focuses on providing housing to single homeless men over the age of 35, saying that is because this is the group facing "the greatest challenges in accessing accommodation". But housing benefit legislation allows people aged 35 and over to be housed in private rather than shared accommodation. In the boroughs in which Investing Solutions operates, that means they can charge up to £260 per week for each private room. One of the tenants, Nigel McCann, was living in a homeless shelter when he was referred to Fresh Start Housing. They passed him to Investing Solutions who housed him in several properties that he describes as wholly unsuitable - various problems included lack of heating and hot water, rats and damp. He says he had to remove 28 bags of rubbish from one house to begin to make it habitable. Mr McCann said he became aware of how profitable Investing Solutions was after he did some work for them in 2014. "It's all about the money, it's not about the people," he added. "I thought inspections would be made." Nearly half the money that Investing Solutions has received over the past two years has been paid by Wandsworth Council in south London, which has paid the lettings agency more than £2.1m. The council said it has a "dedicated Private Sector Housing Team who provide specialist advice to both landlords and tenants to ensure the private rented sector in the borough is safe, secure and affordable". Matt Downie, of homeless charity Crisis, said: "We've heard many examples of poor practice amongst letting agents as well as good practice. But this idea of having a charity tacked on to poor practice is a new low." Samir Patel said in a statement that Fresh Start Housing was an independent charity with its own board of trustees. He also said the majority of the properties used were sourced from private sector landlords "who, to make exceedingly clear, own the properties. The simple point being, the bulk of the rents gets passed to our private sector landlord clients". He also said his company was "genuinely concerned by some of your allegations concerning the state of one of our landlord client's property". Fresh Start Housing told us it had housed 788 homeless people since it was founded and 222 homeless people in the last 12 months, including re-housed tenants. It also said it did not have "authority from the relevant parties" to reveal how many were housed with Investing Solutions. A spokeswoman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said local authorities were responsible for "rigorously safe-guarding taxpayers' money, with dedicated investigations and inspection teams for private sector housing".

A letting agency has been paid more than £5.5m in housing benefit after its owner set up a charity to help the homeless, the BBC has learned.
