Norah Boyle, 85, suffered a head injury as Sabrina Duncan and Benter Ouma put her to bed at The Green Nursing Home in Kings Norton. She died 23 days later. The workers delayed calling 999 and pretended Mrs Boyle knocked her head on the head board. They must do 160 hours' unpaid work and pay £500 court costs each. The pair were not prosecuted for being responsible for the fall, but for being "grossly negligent in their response". Mrs Boyle died in hospital after developing pneumonia. In sentencing, judge Mark Wall said it was impossible to say whether reporting the incident any earlier would have made any difference to Mrs Boyle's eventual death. Her daughter, Ellen Boyle, said: "I'm appalled that that's what they got for what happened to my mum. "I'm appalled that my mother's life is only worth 12 months of a community order." Speaking after the court hearing Det Sgt Victoria Lee said the pair had delayed calling an ambulance while they came up with a cover story. "While [Duncan and Ouma] plotted, Mrs Boyle laid in bed with a serious head injury, her head bleeding onto the pillow," she said. "Most of us have relatives who are frail, disabled or vulnerable… we expect them to be cared for professionally and compassionately." Duncan, 40, of Shartlands Close, Cotteridge, and Ouma, 31, of Summerfield Crescent, Edgbaston, had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing at Birmingham Crown Court to neglect and ill-treatment.
Two care workers who admitted neglect after a pensioner fell from a hoist at a Birmingham care home have been sentenced to 12-month community orders.

David Brown became ill in Maghaberry Prison in December 2012 and died later in hospital from a brain haemorrhage. The Prisoner Ombudsman said staff left him unattended for five minutes in an unresponsive state and did not raise the alarm immediately. The watchdog has concluded the response of the Prison Service was "inadequate". The report by Prisoner Ombudsman Tom McGonigle also found that a nurse treating the inmate was not made aware that it was an emergency situation and other prisoners were not locked in their cells during the incident. However, Mr McGonigle, said: "While some things could have been done better, a key finding of this independent investigation is that there was no possibility to achieve an alternative outcome for Mr Brown." The Prisoner Ombudsman's office is required to investigate all deaths in custody in Northern Ireland, including deaths due to natural causes. The report into David Brown's death said painkilling drugs were found in the 46-year-old's system during toxicology tests, but added that the drugs had been prescribed to him. It said the medication was found at "concentrations that lay within their respective therapeutic ranges". "This is important as there was speculation about a white powdery substance that was found around Mr Brown's nose at the time of his death," a statement from the ombudsman said. Despite criticising prison staff for their immediate reaction to finding the prisoner unconscious in his cell, the report did not find fault with the inmate's medical management during his time in the jail. A clinical reviewer who investigated the case "did not feel that an opportunity to achieve an earlier diagnosis existed, or that there would have been a possibility to achieve an alternative outcome for Mr Brown". The ombudsman's report into the handling of the prison's case identified four matters that required improvement. Two of the four areas related to record-keeping and post-incident support for staff. The need for improvement in these two areas had already been highlighted to the prison authorities and the South-Eastern Health and Social Care Trust, which treated the inmate. The Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS) has accepted the ombudman's four recommendations and said they have already been implemented. The health trust has also accepted their recommendation, and told the ombudsman it has been reiterated to their staff and will be considered at a "Lessons Learned" forum. Mr McGonigle has expressed sympathy to the prisoner's family.

Ricciardo and Vettel are respectively 60 and 117 points behind leader Lewis Hamilton with 150 still available. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said their title hopes were a "long shot" but Mercedes' reliability problems gave them a chance. "Due to their shocking reliability, hopefully we can keep ourselves in the championship," he said. Although reigning champion Vettel is almost completely out of the reckoning and has only a mathematical chance, Horner says it is too early for Red Bull to consider team orders to aid Ricciardo's challenge. Vettel finished second to Hamilton in Singapore on Sunday with Ricciardo third while Nico Rosberg retired with an electrical failure. "Mercedes have an enormous advantage at this point," Horner said. "We'll take it one race at a time. Both of them are still just in it and both have taken a chunk of points out of Nico. "Daniel, OK he's conceded three points to Seb but is that going to make the difference? Impossible to say with a crystal ball at this stage but at the moment it doesn't make sense to interfere with team orders. "Daniel is totally comfortable and happy with that. "If there was a realistic chance of Daniel winning and Sebastian was mathematically out of the championship, then we'd do the best we can for the team but the situation we're in at the moment is it's a long shot."

Anthony McIntyre has been granted leave to seek a judicial review of the decision by police to issue a letter requesting the confidential recordings. The PSNI wants the Boston College material as part of their investigation into alleged terrorist offences. A full hearing is expected to take place in November. The PSNI and Public Prosecution Service have issued an International Letter of Request (ILOR) in relation to the recordings. It sets out the alleged offences being investigated including a bomb explosion at Rugby Avenue in Belfast in 1976 and membership of a terrorist organisation. Senior judges at Belfast's High Court on Monday ruled they were not yet satisfied information in the request had been "scrupulously" examined. Mr McIntyre's lawyers said he was the victim in the bombing and he was acquitted of the membership charge. Ronan Lavery QC said: "The letter itself is replete with errors, which we say are misleading and require an explanation." Mr McIntyre, who is from Belfast but now lives in the Republic of Ireland, was jailed for murder in 1977. Now an academic, he was one of the main researchers on Boston College's oral history project on the Troubles. Dozens of loyalist and republican paramilitaries gave candid interviews on the understanding their account would only be made public after they died. The interviews have become known as the "Boston Tapes". Detectives have previously won legal battles to secure the transcripts and tapes of interviews given by former IRA woman Dolours Price and ex-loyalist prisoner Winston "Winkie" Rea. A subpoena seeking copies of Mr McIntyre's interviews has been served on Boston College by the British government, and the ILOR is part of this. Mr McIntyre's lawyers say the tapes only contain details of offences for which he had already served a prison sentence. Lord Justices Weatherup and Weir heard that Boston College had released the tapes to the US authorities. They stressed that if PSNI officers travelled to Massachusetts to retrieve the recordings, they must remain under seal and be stored with the court until the challenge was decided.
An ex-IRA man has won the first step in a legal battle to stop police accessing interviews he gave to a US university about his paramilitary activities.

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

The racket threatens to drown out coach Simon Davies. The City Under-21 assistant coach is using digital technology to explain to a bunch of slightly unfit reporters how he wants a coaching drill involving the use of overlapping players to develop. And just as Mr Davies successfully cuts through the surrounding noise, so the club is attempting to cut through the increasing business "noise" - all the playing and supporter data it is endlessly accumulating and managing. The club, which has been at the forefront of data analytics, has signed a new deal to help it make sense of all this data. The City Football Group (CFG), which comprises Manchester City, New York City, Melbourne City and Yokohama Marinos, has entered into a global, multi-year marketing and technology partnership with German software giant, SAP. "The intersection between sport and technology might change the landscape about what we do in the future," says Ferran Soriano, chief executive of both Man City and CFG. At the more prosaic - but financially important - level, CFG says the SAP deal means it will be able to operate more interactively as a global football business. All four clubs will be "speaking the same business language" by using the same systems, and swapping best practice when it comes to marketing, for example, as well as enabling the quartet to stay efficiently inter-connected. However, on the more visionary, and, as Mr Soriano says, "emotional" fronts, CFG believes the SAP tie-up will be of huge value in revolutionising both their playing and fan operations. All Premier League clubs have data analysts, as do many in the lower divisions, with stats crunched on everything from the distance covered by a player in a game to the number of crosses played with either foot. In fact, every step on the pitch is monitored now. Similarly, away from match day, thousands of hours of training data is accumulated, while injury, dietary, sleep and medical data is also harvested and studied. Assisted by SAP, which worked with the successful German 2014 World Cup-winning squad, the teams will use the insights derived from this data to produce everything from individual player coaching and training programmes, to tactics tailored to counter each opposition team. But CFG, which is owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, believes that all this sports data could eventually be condensed and a whole whole new way of playing emerge. "Technology will allow us to play better football," says Mr Soriano, who formerly worked at Spanish giant Barcelona. "We are going to work together in finding new ways of understanding the game, and designing a better game to help us win." That vision of creating a new way of playing - a new Total Football or tiki-taka for the future - is shared by colleague and former player, Brian Marwood. He won a league title with Arsenal in 1988/89, and is managing director of the football group's City Football Services. He oversees the recruitment, development, training and management of hundreds of players in Manchester and at other global training centres. "We have a great opportunity to lead in football, and are searching for the next trend. which will keep us ahead of everyone else," says Mr Marwood. "We have got a team of people trying to find out what the next 10 to 20 years of football will look like. We want to be ahead of the game." To that end, a research and innovation group for all four clubs is being created. Another major goal is to use data to enhance the fan experience. CFG believes that with SAP's assistance they can change the way supporters of the group's four teams access and consume football data. Tom Glick, president of New York City FC says that CFG will be looking to enhance the viewing experience of fans, whether "glued to the action" at the stadium, or sitting at home watching on TV. "The task of finding new ways to get this information to the fans starts now," he says. "We will be asking them what additional information and data about the game and players they would look to see - what is important to them." The first innovation in this area will be a large digital statistics wall installed at Man City's Etihad Stadium from next season, which will show player and match statistics from the previous game. "I can see the attraction in providing supporters with access to match data, particularly among the younger tech-aware generation in their teens and twenties," says Kevin Parker, secretary of the Man City supporters club. "We have all got an opinion on how our players are playing during a game and whether a particular player - for example Fernandinho - has worked as hard or not as it appears to fans at the game," he says. "Or you can confirm whether David Silva or Yaya Toure have played those key passes that you thought they had. That can all add to the whole spectacle and enjoyment of the game, and provide talking points." But he warns that "some of the more vociferous elements at a match might get on a player's back" if their match data was not impressive. He also says data overload might be a danger, particularly if chewing over match statistics at home overshadows the experience of attending a game in the flesh. "Any data has to be handled and presented in the right way," he says. Meanwhile, the next step in enhancing that data collection for the group of clubs will be this October, when Melbourne City FC take to wearing player monitors during Australian league games. "We believe we are doing something that has never been done before, around the world," says group chief executive Soriano of the tech route ahead. "We have to take risks, innovate, make mistakes."

John Lamont quit the Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire constituency seat to fight for a place at Westminster, hoping to unseat the SNP's Calum Kerr. The Conservative MSP formally resigned from the seat as of 13:00 on Thursday. The by-election means residents in the area will vote on their local council, their Holyrood representative and their MP all inside five weeks. Selection procedures for the Holyrood by-election have yet to get under way. Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh has written to Tracey Logan, chief executive of Scottish Borders Council and returning officer for the elections, to confirm his choice of date and to ask for arrangements for the by-election to be put in place. Mr Lamont is seeking to unseat the SNP's Calum Kerr in Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, Scotland's most marginal Westminster constituency. Mr Kerr gained the seat from Lib Dem former Scottish Secretary Michael Moore in 2015 by a margin of 328 votes. The Lib Dems have put forward Catriona Bhatia, currently deputy leader of the council, as their candidate for the Westminster poll.
A Holyrood by-election is to be held on the same day as the UK's snap general election on 8 June.

Kayleigh Haywood, from Measham in Leicestershire, was found dead last November. Stephen Beadman, 29, of George Avenue, Ibstock, admitted raping and murdering the teenager at a hearing in April. He and Luke Harlow, 27, also of George Avenue, are on trial at Nottingham Crown Court after both denied a charge of false imprisonment. Harlow had also previously pleaded guilty to sexual grooming and two counts of sexual activity with a child. Miranda Moore QC, prosecuting, told the jury that Kayleigh went willingly to Harlow's flat in Ibstock, Leicestershire on 13 November. She believed they were in a "secret relationship" after chatting on Facebook for about a fortnight, the court heard, and had told her family she was staying with her best friend. Harlow - who called himself "Luke Fun Times Harlow" online - told the teenager she was his "princess" who he would "love and treasure forever". "On that night Kayleigh had been given substantial amounts of alcohol and she had been sexually touched by Luke Harlow," said Ms Moore. "She was underage and he knew it. He was later to lie about that, pretending to people that she was much older." Ms Moore said the false imprisonment charge centred around what happened to Kayleigh between 21:00 and 03:00 BST on 14 and 15 November. Both men are alleged to have held Kayleigh against her will. The jury heard that at one point, Kayleigh had tried to escape Harlow's flat and was seen by a witness leaving the property naked from the waist down. "What happened to her in that property to make her flee into the night?" Ms Moore said. "What we know is that she was chased by Mr Beadman and pinned to the ground. This was seen by somebody from their upstairs window. "At some point, far from being this drunken, compliant girl, Kayleigh became somebody who wanted to get out of that flat." Ms Moore said that the witness mistook Beadman for a policeman. Beadman then took her "off into the night, where she was raped and murdered by him". After Beadman had been by interviewed by police for three days and directed officers to a location on the outskirts of Ibstock. Her body was then discovered in thick undergrowth near a stream. Following examinations of Harlow's phone, police discovered he had sought to groom other girls. His intention was to kidnap them, get them drunk, have sex and keep them in his flat, the jury was told. "Kayleigh Haywood was not the only girl Luke Harlow groomed," Ms Moore said. "She was the last in the line." He has also admitted attempting to meet two other underage girls for sexual purposes. Police from across the East Midlands helped with the hunt for the teenager after she went missing on 13 November. A passerby found Kayleigh's smashed phone on the ground in Ibstock. The last number she had dialled was the number of the friend she said she was staying with. An inquest heard she died from head and facial injuries. The trial - which is expected to last until next week - continues.

Of the 38 people who were killed in the incident, 33 were on Tui holidays. Announcing its third quarter results, the firm, which owns Thomson and First Choice Travel, said the attack and subsequent warnings about travel to Tunisia would cost it about £20m this year. Tui is also worried about the effect of migrants on its Greek business. Since the attack in Tunisia, the Foreign Office now advises against all but essential travel to the country. "This is the most tragic event and loss of human life that I have ever had to deal with or my company and we remain deeply shocked in terms of the loss of life, those customers that were injured and all the trauma that our customers had to go through, through these terrible events," Tui Group chief executive Peter Long told the BBC. "We were 100% focused on making sure that our customers were looked after and that was our number one priority." He also said that the company was reliant on Foreign Office advice on when to resume offering holidays in Tunisia. The company said that in the three months to the end of June the attack had caused repatriation and cancellation costs of about €10m ($11m; £7m). Tui also said it had been hit by the continued economic turmoil in Greece, which made withdrawing cash from banks more difficult. Mr Long said he thought it was time for other European governments to help Greece deal with migrants arriving at Greek islands, especially from Syria. "We know that tourism for Greece is so important, their economy is fragile and what we don't want to see [is] a deteriorating demand from our customers going to the Greek islands." However, Tui said that business had been resilient and that summer bookings were still ahead of last year's level. The company reported a group profit of €49.4m for the quarter, compared with a loss of €5.6m in the same period last year. Tourism is one of Greece's most important industries, worth about £20bn a year to the country. More than 650,000 people are employed in the holiday sector and more than 22 million people travel to Greece every year from around the world. In its third quarter results, Tui said that the economic turmoil of the debt crisis had affected demand for Greek holidays, especially from Germany. A developing issue around immigration could pose a fresh threat to the sector. "I worry about the publicity putting people off going to the Greek islands," Mr Long said. "Therefore I hope the Greeks are able to process [the migrants] and I'm sure other European governments will look at ways of helping them through this difficult situation with so many migrants arriving at the same time."

The homes are planned to be for social or mid-market rent and it is hoped they will all be completed by 2021. Glasgow City Council's executive committee also approved £20m to improve existing housing. Of this, £14m was announced last month as part of scheme to upgrade homes and make them available for social renting. The £34m four-year improvement and repair scheme is also being funded with £20m from the Scottish government. The funding to build homes is to be channelled through housing associations over the next four years. Eight sites in the area have been identified for development. As part of the strategy, Govanhill Housing Association has also committed £3.7m to new housing and repairs for the duration of the four year period. Overall this means there are plans to invest more than £44m in housing in Govanhill over the next four years. Councillor George Redmond: "This is an impressive document and points to the way ahead in Govanhill." "Significant sums are being invested in Govanhill and it is great news that part of that money will go towards new housing. "The council has been working exceptionally hard to turn things around in Govanhill and we are starting to see real progress being made." He said that while the council was keen to work with all property owners in Govanhill, he warned the council would use power of compulsory purchase against those who refused to get on board with the plans.
About 350 homes are to be built in the Govanhill area of Glasgow under a £6.4m council initiative to help "turn the area around".

Premier added that this was a result of an increase of the dividend paid to E.On before completion of the deal. In a statement, it said: "On the basis of this lower aggregate consideration, the acquisition has been classified as a Class 1 transaction." The proposed acquisition is still subject to approval by Premier's shareholders and lenders. The assets Premier is buying are located in the Central North Sea, West of Shetlands and the Southern Gas Basin. E.On's UK oil and gas upstream portfolio includes stakes in 40 licenses, including a 5.2% interest in the Elgin-Franklin field, a 47% interest in the Babbage field and a 50% stake in the Tolmount discovery. The deal will add about 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day to Premier's production totals in 2016, according to the company.
Premier Oil's shares nearly doubled in value on Monday after trading was restarted following a suspension triggered by a major North Sea deal.

They had previously hoped to have a deal for the Championship club, who are in administration for the third time in four years, agreed by Friday. The Bulls said in a statement "it had not been possible to complete the due diligence in the time available" but work would continue over the weekend. Joint administrator Gary Pettit asked fans to "remain patient". He added: "My legal team and my colleagues will continue to work hard over the weekend to give every prospect of success for the survival and renaissance of Bradford Bulls. "Obviously, we wish to end the uncertainty for all concerned as quickly as is possible. We recognise and understand the human aspects for everyone (and their families) who has the best interests of Bradford Bulls at heart. "I would reiterate that it is crucial we obtain the right deal - rather than the quickest deal - for the club's future."
The joint administrators of Bradford Bulls have extended the deadline to buy the club to Monday, 19 December.

There were 31,000 offences recorded in the year up to April 2014, up 8,500 on the previous year. Figures compiled by the charity show 85 offences were recorded by police every day, with significant rises in Scotland and Northern Ireland also. A spokesman said high-profile cases had "played a contributory factor" in encouraging people to come forward. Jon Brown, from the NSPCC's sexual abuse programme, told BBC Radio 4's Today that cases in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford and elsewhere had helped prompt "children, young people and adults to speak about abuse that is either happening to them or has happened to them". BBC home editor Mark Easton said police forces had put significant effort into encouraging victims to come forward and this appeared to be paying off. It is probable sexual offences are actually falling despite cases coming to light in recent years, he added. Chief Constable Simon Bailey, the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) lead for child protection, said police now looked "upon child abuse very differently". "Many, many, more" people had found the confidence to report incidents, he said, but the latest figures could be still only be "the tip of the iceberg". And Peter Wanless, the NSPCC's chief executive, said the figures were "a fraction of the true number of victims, because some endure an agonising wait of many years before telling anyone - and others never reveal what has happened to them". According to the figures, compiled by a Freedom of Information request: In 2012/13, the same research showed 22,654 cases were recorded by 41 police forces. All 43 forces in England and Wales responded in the latest study. The NSPCC said the total had largely remained steady until this year's figures, and that the 38% rise was the biggest increase in six years of requesting the data. The number has now increased by almost 50% since 2008/09. In Scotland, government figures showed that in 2013-14 there were 3,742 sexual offences against children under 18 recorded, including rape, sexual assault and grooming - a 10-year high. The NSPCC said 1,485 sexual offences against people under 18 were reported to police in Northern Ireland in 2013/14, up 26% on the previous year. By Mark Easton, BBC home editor The fact that police are recording more suspected incidents of child sexual abuse should probably be regarded as a positive development. Police forces have put significant effort into encouraging victims of such crimes to come forward and this seems to be paying off. Prosecutors and chief constables are under instruction to take seriously allegations that are made and, where appropriate, revisit reports made in the past. Britain is only beginning to recognise the appalling scale of child abuse and the criminal justice system still only deals with a fraction of offences. It is possible - indeed the recent focus on child welfare and big falls in overall violent crime makes it probable in my view - that sexual offences against children are falling, despite all the horrific cases that have come to light in the last few years. However, while more victims coming forward is good news, it is vital that the resources and support are available to deal with the increased demands on police and other services. The NSPCC's Mr Brown said there was not enough support available for children who had been sexually abused. "Their concerns need to be taken seriously and acted promptly upon. "Through the court process they need to be supported and there are some real gaps there, and then there's a huge gap in the amount of help and therapy that's available for children who have been abused." Mr Brown said the charity estimated that there was a shortfall of 50,000 places across the UK for children who needed treatment, having been sexually abused. The figures are published as the NSPCC launches its third annual "How Safe Are Our Children?" report at the charity's annual conference in London. A government spokeswoman said children must be protected from "systemic and appalling cases" of abuse such as those seen in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford and elsewhere. She said: "We have given child sexual abuse the status of a national threat so that it is prioritised by every police force, will shortly launch a new child sexual abuse taskforce and centre of expertise to improve local responses and we have provided £7m funding to organisations that support victims. "It is encouraging that police figures show more victims are having the confidence to come forward and report these often ignored and under-reported crimes." Home Secretary Theresa May has established an independent inquiry to probe allegations of historical child sex abuse and a Westminster paedophile ring. By Danny Shaw, BBC home affairs correspondent Over the past 18 months there's been a raft of data indicating that more people are reporting sexual offences. What's different about these statistics is that there's a breakdown by age of victim, enabling us to see the extent of the problem as it affects children. It's a deeply worrying picture. It raises questions about the level of support available for victims, at a time when criminal justice, welfare and health budgets are under strain, as well as the need to find ways to deal effectively with the perpetrators. To do that we must attempt to understand what drives people to commit offences against children and babies, however unpalatable that may be, to prevent further crimes in the future. Last month it emerged that police were investigating more than 1,400 prominent men for historic child sex abuse, including politicians, celebrities and those linked to institutions. And also last month, the NPCC said it had seen an "unprecedented increase" in the number of reports of abuse following the Savile cases coming to light. Mr Bailey said of the latest figures: "The service now looks upon child abuse very differently and victims can expect a professional response. "As a result many, many, more victims have found the confidence to report abuse, knowing they will be treated with sensitivity and respect, that we will listen to them and that we will take their allegations seriously."
The number of recorded sexual offences against children in England and Wales has risen by a third, the NSPCC says.

ITV's The Only Way is Essex (Towie) has been "largely positive" for Brentwood, where it is set, but "everything has a shelf-life", the council leader said. Lisa Bone, of Visit Essex, added: "If its bubble bursts we could be left with stereotypes, not economic benefits". A meeting is being held on Tuesday to discuss the town's "sustainability". The show Towie, now in its 11th series, features ordinary people appearing in modified situations based on their actual lives. Many run their own businesses in Brentwood, including shops, salons and nightclubs, which feature in the programme. "Towie won't always be around and while it brings in a lot of tourism it has also given the town a certain stereotype, perception and image," Ms Bone said. "Brentwood is full of beautiful historic buildings and family-friendly parks and we need to ensure we emphasise those, making the town attractive to everyone and ensuring its sustainability." Borough council leader Louise McKinlay, said: "The popularity of the show has been very good for the town centre, retailers and the tourism trade, bringing so many people in to the area. "Whether we like it or not, Towie has put Brentwood on the map. Yes, there's a lot about tans and nails in Towie, but there's also a great entrepreneurial spirit and that's evident everywhere in the town. "I'd like to say that the only thing that's orange in Brentwood is our recycling bags." Businesses in the town are being asked to consider Brentwood's "unique selling point and future branding" at Tuesday's meeting hosted by the council and Visit Essex.

Mudassir Hussain of Gladstone Street, Derby, pleaded guilty to preparing acts of terrorism. Sheffield Crown Court heard the 31-year-old made it to Turkey before his family alerted police, who then had him returned to England. Police said the actions of Hussain's family may well have saved lives, including his own. Hussain left the UK on 6 January and police were notified shortly after. Within days, the Turkish authorities deported Hussain back to the UK where he was arrested and charged. Det Ch Supt Clive Wain, head of the North East Counter Terrorism Unit which led the operation, said: "By pleading guilty Hussain has admitted his intention was to take part in the conflict in Syria and was aware that he may be killed. "We were not aware of Hussain's intentions prior to him travelling and therefore by the time we intervened he had already committed an offence. However by reporting their concerns Hussain's family may well have saved lives, including his own." Hussain was sentenced to five years and three months imprisonment and one year on licence.

In a 6-3 decision, the justices said that tax subsidies that make health insurance affordable for low-income individuals can continue. The ruling preserves the law known as Obamacare, which Mr Obama considers a major part of his presidential legacy. Republicans have vowed to continue fighting the law. "We've got more work to do, but what we're not going to do is unravel what has now been woven into the fabric of America," Mr Obama said. The case, known as King v Burwell, was the second major challenge the law has faced in the US's highest court. Unlike in many other western countries, the US does not have a single-payer healthcare system. Private companies, rather than the US government, provide health insurance for US citizens. The enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) - one of Mr Obama's most significant and controversial domestic achievements - in 2010 mandated that every American had to purchase private insurance. It provided the subsidies to allow many to do so. In 2012, the mandate portion of the law was challenged in the court. The justices ruled to preserve it. In that decision, as in the decision on Thursday, Chief Justice John Roberts surprised observers by siding with his liberal colleagues in support of the law. "Congress passed the Affordable Care act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion. Justice Anthony Kennedy dissented in 2012, but sided with the majority on Thursday. Had the court made the opposite decision, an estimated 8.7 million people in the US would have been at risk of losing the aid that makes healthcare affordable. The stakes could not have been higher. People's health (crucially important) and Obama's legacy (less important, but for him and those around him fairly vital) were at stake. Well a politically finely balanced Supreme Court has given an emphatic, overwhelming vote in favour of the president by 6-3. I bet "No-drama Obama" is high-fiving anyone and everyone in the White House - that is how big it is. Obama defies lame-duck expectations Demonstrators gathered outside the court as early on Thursday morning. Reading updates on their mobile phones, the crowd became jubilant when they learned mid-morning that the court had ruled in their favour. Some began dancing, while others chanted "If you're covered and you know it clap your hands." "This is a big sigh of relief for millions across the country," said Ron Pollack of Families USA, a health-care advocacy organisation. "The ACA is not just the law of the land, it will remain the law of the land". "Today is a good day for healthcare in America," said activist Benton Strong. "I hope this is the end of the line." Demonstrators opposing the subsidies did not have a large visible presence. Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in his dissent that the Supreme Court is setting a precedent of favouring some laws over others. "We should start calling this law Scotuscare" Justice Scalia wrote, referring to the court's acronym. "Today's interpretation is not merely unnatural; it is unheard of." Congressional Republicans have voted more than 50 times to undo the law. House Speaker John Boehner said that they will continue their "efforts to repeal the law and replace it with patient-centred solutions that meet the needs of seniors, small business owners, and middle-class families". Following the enactment of the ACA in 2010, states were given the option of establishing their own healthcare exchanges - online marketplaces for citizens to buy health coverage. Citizens in states that refused to establish exchanges could shop for coverage on a federal exchange. In the court, opponents argued that a phrase included in the law, "established by the state," meant the federal government could only provide subsidies to people in states that set up their own exchanges. However, most Americans receiving subsidies purchase healthcare through the federal exchange, after many states decided not to set up their own marketplaces. Only 13 states and Washington DC have set up their own exchanges. The Obama administration argued that was a too-narrow reading of the law, which spans nearly 1,000 pages, and the rest of the legislation makes clear subsidies are intended for those who meet income requirements, regardless of which exchange insurance was purchased from. Source: Reuters The upholding of the law cements President Obama's biggest legislative victory. Limiting the subsidies could have unravelled Mr Obama's signature healthcare reforms. Republican Congressional leader Steve Scalise said he was disappointed with the ruling and would work to have the law "repealed and replaced," echoing near-universal Republican sentiment. "It does not change the fact that Obamacare has been a dismal failure for millions of Americans who have lost the good healthcare that they liked, and are paying more for the plans that they have," Mr Scalise said in statement.

The meeting's organiser, Louai Hussein, called for an end to the government's brutal crackdown on protesters and for a peaceful transition to democracy. The event took place after government officials said they would not object. Afterwards, the opposition was invited to joint talks to discuss the framework for a national dialogue conference. The state news agency, Sana, said amendments to the constitution would be on the agenda at the conference on 10 July, including Article 8, which grants the Baath Party unique status as the "leader of state and society". Participants would also examine proposed new laws on political parties, elections, local administration and the press, it added. Sana said there was no alternative but to "open the door wide" to all Syrians, and to take part in building a "democratic, pluralistic society meeting the aspirations of the people". The BBC's Lina Sinjab in Damascus says the government is making a show of looking for the middle ground to solve the crisis, but they are also seen to be playing for time. Monday's meeting at the Semiramis hotel in Damascus was attended by several leading opposition figures, including Mr Hussein, Anwar al-Bunni and Michel Kilo, who have served time in prison for their political activities. They began by singing the national anthem and holding a moment of silence to honour those killed in the revolt, which represents the most serious challenge to President Bashar al-Assad's rule since he succeeded his father in 2000. In the opening address, Mr Hussein said it was an unprecedented event, and that no such conference had been held in Syria for decades. "Those attending this meeting are not armed, [as they are not] terrorists or saboteurs," he said. "We are meeting today... to put forward a vision about how to end tyranny and ensure a peaceful and secure transition to the hoped-for state: the state of freedom, democracy and equality." In a final communique, the participants declared their support for the "popular uprising seeking a peaceful transition to a democratic, civil and pluralistic state", and called for an immediate end to the government crackdown and the withdrawal of the army from all towns and cities. They also called for an independent committee to investigate the killings of civilians and security forces personnel, the release of all political prisoners, and the right to peaceful protests without official approval. Human rights groups say more than 1,300 civilians have been killed and thousands arrested since pro-democracy protests began on 18 March. Several hundred soldiers and police are also said to have died. The US state department said Monday's meeting was a "significant event", but the organisers were criticised by some opposition activists, who said it was a government ploy and that the attendees did not represent many of those involved in the revolt. Notably absent were members of the Local Co-ordination Committees, which have sought to speak on behalf of young protesters. They refuse to begin dialogue while suppression continues and hundreds remain in detention. "The Damascus Declaration coalition - this is the main opposition coalition in Syria - have actually come out against this meeting," Malik al-Abdeh, an editor of Barada TV, a Syrian opposition channel, told the BBC World Service. "The regime is obviously happy for this conference to take place." "In Syria, there are three or four opposition figures who spent time in jail, who are actually attending this meeting. But apart from that, all the other people I have seen on the list, they are not known to be opposition figures," he added. "So this certainly is not an opposition conference, this is just a meeting of intellectuals all discussing the future of Syria under - I have to stress this - under the close watchful eye of the Syrian security." Other activists have insisted that those taking part must stick to a basic demand - that the regime has to go, and make way for democracy.
At least 150 Syrian dissidents have met publicly for the first time at a hotel in the capital, Damascus, to discuss the current crisis in their country.

The Department for Social Development has confirmed that a total of 51 refugees will arrive in Belfast from Lebanon, under the Vulnerable Persons Relocations Scheme. Eleven of them are children under the age of five, including a baby. The PSNI team will also investigate any crimes against the Muslim community. The Syrian families will be housed in the private rental sector until alternative arrangements are made. This is the first time Northern Ireland has participated in a refugee resettlement program. Muslims and Christians are among those due to arrive in mid-December. The first group will be settled in the Belfast area. The second group of refugees will arrive in the first quarter of 2016 and will be settled in the north west. Prime Minister David Cameron announced the expansion of the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme on 7 September. The scheme will resettle up to 20,000 Syrian refugees across the UK over the next five years. Refugees from countries neighbouring Syria will be resettled under the scheme, mostly Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. It does not extend to those who seek asylum in Europe or countries like Libya.

The fact that languages are no longer compulsory at GCSE has led to the problem, says the university's head of modern languages Dr David Barr. Around 800 global firms have bases in Belfast, employing about 75,000 people. But Dr Barr says there's now a shortage of supply to meet the demand. "Lots of companies and employers are seeing opportunities for local graduates staying in Northern Ireland," he says. "What we are fighting against is the trend nationally for graduates to think there are no jobs in Northern Ireland and then they leave us en masse." Micro Focus Belfast employs 130 people who sell software and provide customer care across Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and Africa. Mary McDermott, who is responsible for company recruitment, says: "We don't get a lot of local graduates applying for jobs. "We could fill an English role here quite easily with 30 plus applicants. If we're looking for French, Spanish or German speakers that candidate pool is a lot lower. Fewer candidates are applying. But we find we have some really good success stories of local graduates who speak French and Spanish and who have been very successful in those language specific roles." Louise Kearney has been working at Micro Focus for six months. She speaks Spanish, French and Chinese. "When I was at school at St Louise's in Belfast it was compulsory to take a language at GCSE. I was very arty at that age and had it not been for languages being compulsory it could have been a completely different story for me today. I'm very glad I had to study languages" There are fears too that changes to the curriculum at GCSE and A level could further impact the uptake in languages. Alexandra Bell, head of modern languages at Lagan College in Belfast, says she has concerns that possible changes to GCSE and A-levels could put the study of languages "back 20 years". Teachers in Northern Ireland are currently being consulted about changes, she says. "Employers want students who can speak, communicate and sell their products," she says. "There's a concern amongst teachers that some exam boards are looking at maybe including a little too much literature. "Students should have a choice and that includes a business and careers bent in their studies. "Not that there isn't a place for literature at A-level. But give employers what they need. Someone who wants to use their languages in engineering isn't really going to need to know about Camus [Albert Camus, author of The Outsider]."

Senior judges in Belfast have lifted an injunction on the PSNI taking possession of Winston Rea's recorded account to Boston College researchers. Detectives were present with a bag ready for the handover of the tapes. They were given the all-clear after lawyers for Mr Rea confirmed their final bid to secure a block had been turned down. The tapes had been held under lock and key at the Royal Courts of Justice. The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg refused to grant an interim prohibition as part of efforts to stop the PSNI from obtaining them. A judge said the time had come "to lift the injunction and allow the materials to be examined by the police". Detectives want to access the recordings as part of their investigations into murder and other paramilitary crimes from the 1970s to 1990s. Mr Rea's legal team argued that it would breach his right to privacy. He was among dozens of loyalists and republicans who provided testimonies to Boston College staff compiling an oral history of the Northern Ireland conflict. Interviews were given on the understanding that tapes would not be made public until after their deaths. In 2013, detectives investigating the abduction and murder of Belfast mother-of-10 Jean McConville in 1972 secured the transcripts of former IRA woman Dolours Price's account. That material was handed over following court battles on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr Rea's barrister said his client was "confident that there is nothing in his past or anything contained in these tapes which hasn't already been dealt with by the criminal courts". "He's a man who has health difficulties," he added. On that basis, lawyers for both the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) and the PSNI Chief Constable argued that the recordings should now be released.

If there is any graffiti, it's almost certainly going to be in perfectly punctuated English. But what it also has is hundreds of students from the UK - and the number is rising. This is the university application season for UK students - and open day visits now include trips to Dutch universities, which are pitching themselves as if they were offshore Russell Group institutions. Since tuition fees rose to £9,000 in England there have been repeated forecasts that students would head for cheaper European universities. Now it seems to be actually happening. Across the Netherlands, there are 2,600 UK students in universities this term - up by a third in a year. And independent school head teachers want Dutch universities to be included in the Ucas application form. The University of Groningen is a microcosm of this - up by 33% to around 300 UK students, for whom it has had to put on special open days. This 400 year-old university, second oldest in the Netherlands and in the top 100 of international rankings, now designates itself as an English-speaking institution. It is running more degree courses taught in English than in Dutch, with students from Germany, China, the UK and the Netherlands itself, all learning in English. For families from England attending the open day in Groningen, the question of tuition fees is never far from the surface. Phoebe Watkinson and her father Phil had travelled from Wirral. Phoebe said that as well as being less expensive, going to a European university would give her an "edge" in the jobs market. "It shows a certain quality, it shows bravery to go to another country and it's not that far from home," she said. The distance does not seem daunting, she says, as it is as quick to get home from the Netherlands as from some other parts of the UK. Her father says he is from a generation when higher education was free - and he finds it "difficult to fathom" the level of debt being piled up. "I would be extremely pleased if she came here," said Mr Watkinson. He says it would benefit her academically and socially as well as financially. "If you ask most people what their primary driver was for looking at foreign universities, probably most of them would say straight off 'lower fees'," he says. "But I think there's a lot more to it than that. If people look further than just the cost and see the other advantages, a lot more people will start to look at it seriously." Saskia Dutton from Sheffield said her concern about studying at home is that she might "end up with £40,000 of debt" for a university in England, regardless of its quality. "I thought do I want to settle for paying £9,000 to go to a university that is not going to give me the same quality of education as somewhere that costs 2,000 euros (£1,400)? "The hesitation would be that I would be far away from my family... University can be quite a lonely experience," she said. More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch Nick Verspeak from Wiltshire says the attraction is learning in an international environment, as a step towards working in a globalised jobs market. But what's it like to be an English student at Groningen? Gemma Scott from Newcastle says the initial draw was the cost, but it's been a different experience than she expected. "It's made me a different person, made me much more confident in my own abilities, because I moved country when I was 18," she says. She adds that her friends leaving universities in England will face immediate pressure to find work and begin paying off debts, while she will leave debt-free. "I think I'm the only student to come out with savings." Gemma is studying English literature, in a Dutch English-speaking university, and admits to having learnt almost no Dutch while studying there. She says that the distance from family is a real factor - "you can't just hop on a train". But she says social media and video links like Facetime can fill the gap. "I'm physically separated, but I talk to my mum every day and I say good night to my sister." Holly Jane Shaddock from Shrewsbury, who is studying languages, says she is "embarrassed" telling other European students how much fees cost in England. "They find it incredible, they are shocked. It's similar to my reaction when my American friends tell me how much their tuition costs. It's the same: 'How can you pay that much?' But you realise people don't have a choice." But she says even though the fees are lower: "Financially it can still be a bit of a struggle." It's a misunderstanding to think that studying in the Netherlands is free. There are tuition fees of 2,000 euros (around £1,400) per year and students from the UK can apply for support for this. But they cannot get financial support for living costs, so parents will have to pay for accommodation or students need to get part-time jobs. The typical room cost is about 360 euro (£254) per month, says the university. But why would Dutch universities want to attract so many more UK students? Groningen's rector, Elmer Sterken, says being an international institution improves the quality of teaching and research. But there's also a practical motivation. "The number of Dutch students will drop, so we're interested in attracting more international students," he says. Adopting English as the first language - apart from subjects such as Dutch literature or Dutch law - is now accepted, says the rector, after "some resistance at the beginning from some of the staff". "The lingua franca of universities and research is English and maybe 90% of Dutch people speak English to some extent," he says. So is studying abroad going to become more mainstream? Chris King, chairman of the Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference, in a report from Maastricht University, said the big change was that it was no longer just about a year abroad. "Heads are emphasising to more students the benefit of enrolling for a complete degree programme abroad," he said. The government has signalled that fees are going to rise again above £9,000. An unintended consequence could be rising numbers of English students cycling around Dutch cities.
The historic city of Groningen has got all the things you'd expect from somewhere picturesque and Dutch - canals, bridges and bikes.

The claim: Membership of the European Union guarantees rights on equal pay, sexual harassment and maternity leave, and rights for part-time workers. Those rights would be in jeopardy if Britain voted to leave. Reality Check Verdict: The EU has been influential in the development of equality legislation but leaving would not necessarily mean those rights would be lost. The Treaty of Rome included the commitment for member states to ensure "that men and women should receive equal pay for equal work". And the rules were strengthened following the 1975 Equal Pay Directive, and subsequent rulings by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which have set out further what counts as equal work. Similarly, the right of part-time workers to join occupational pension schemes was determined by rulings of the ECJ, which found that excluding them constituted indirect sex discrimination. If Britain leaves the EU those rules could, in principle, be revoked. However, in some cases the UK government has gone further than the rules set by the EU. For example, the 52 weeks of statutory maternity leave in the UK is considerably longer than the 14 weeks guaranteed by EU law. Leave campaigners say there's no reason to suppose that a future British government would undermine women's rights. But Ms Harman believes that many of the people leading the campaign for Brexit - including Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Iain Duncan Smith - cannot be trusted to protect women's rights. She admits that this part of her argument is speculative, but she warns that women's rights could be eroded under the guise of pushing for deregulation and cutting red tape.

The scores were level at the break with Theo Fages and Matty Smith crossing for the visitors and Alex Mellor and Patrick Ah Van going over for Widnes. Saints took the lead when Mark Percival kicked a penalty, after the Vikings had been penalised for offside. That looked to be the winning score, but the hosts eventually made their pressure tell when Ah Van crashed over. The New Zealander's second try of the night gave the hosts a first home win of the season, and they are now just one point off 11th-placed Huddersfield. Victory will ease some of the pressure on coach Denis Betts, but his team did it the hard way. They were much the better team in the first half but went in level at the break after individual errors contributed to them failing to add to their 12 points. Saints had a Luke Thompson try ruled out by the video ref at 14-12 up, before Ah Van's decisive score gave Widnes a vital two points. Widnes: Hanbury, Thompson, Bridge, Runciman, Ah Van, Mellor, Gilmore, Dudson, Johnstone, Buchanan, Houston, Dean, Gerrard. Replacements: Whitley, Burke, J. Chapelhow, D. Walker.

Julia Knight, 56, had denied trying to kill Irene Robson, 81, but admitted administering the insulin at Horton Hospital in Banbury in October 2014. During a trial at Oxford Crown Court, Knight said she did it so her mother would not be discharged from hospital. Prosecutors said it was a "premeditated, cold-blooded attack". The trial heard Knight forged a prescription for insulin, which she collected at a Sainsbury's store in Banbury. Knight told jurors she had wanted to make her mother a "little bit poorly" and described it as "a stupid, stupid, thing to do". Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire She also told the court she had attempted suicide in 2006 by injecting herself with insulin. Det Insp Craig Kirby of Thames Valley Police said: "This is an incredibly sad case. "It was only following a large scale police investigation, when the weight of evidence became overwhelming, that Julia Knight finally admitted injecting her mother with insulin, something she had repeatedly denied during a number of police interviews. Adrian Foster, chief crown prosecutor for Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service said: "It is impossible to imagine a more vulnerable victim. "Knight embarked on a premeditated, cold-blooded attack on her mother by illicitly injecting her with a potentially lethal dose of insulin while she was an inpatient on a ward after suffering a fall at home. "The insulin, obtained by Knight via a forged prescription, caused Irene's blood sugar concentration to drop to a lethal level and she fell into unconsciousness, but hospital staff managed to save her life. "There is no doubt that as a qualified practising nurse and with her medical knowledge of the effects of unprescribed insulin that Knight intended to kill her mother." Ms Robson died in September but the trial heard her death was not relevant to the case. Knight is due to be sentenced on Friday.
A nurse who injected her mother with insulin as she lay in hospital after a fall has been found guilty of attempted murder.

But they are also applicable when you meet Sara Cox - English rugby union's only referee at Rio 2016. After a 92-year absence, rugby union is back on the biggest stage sport has to offer, with Sevens tournaments for men and women. "Everybody knows the Olympics is a great sporting event, no matter what sport you're involved in," said Cox, during a break between matches at the European Sevens series event at Sandy Park, the home of Exeter Chiefs. "To have the chance to go out there and to have the best seat in the house is a fantastic opportunity." A former player, the 26-year-old Cox turned to refereeing in 2007 after being injured, and nine years later has become the sole woman to be centrally-contracted as a match official by the Rugby Football Union. As well as taking charge of top women's matches, Cox also referees men's games at semi-professional level in National Two South. "Rugby is a game of respect, and it doesn't matter who you are, you go on the pitch and you're there to do a job. I don't see myself any different to my male counterparts," she replied, when asked the obligatory 'woman in a man's world' question. "Over the years I've been a bit of an unknown - there's not many of us that are active at the moment, and climbing through the ranks we become fewer and fewer. "You're there on the pitch to facilitate the game and the players don't mind that, it doesn't matter that I'm a female." When you ask an Olympics-bound athlete what their goals are, the answer is usually pretty simple - personal best, get on the podium, maybe a gold medal - but what about a referee? "My goal is to go far as possible, so if that means I referee the gold medal final, then absolutely fantastic," she said. "It's not that much different for us compared to the athletes. We don't come away with a medal, but to be involved in that medal race with the teams is what you aim to do. "I want to go out there, enjoy the experience and gather as much experience as well - and whatever comes after that comes after that." There has never been a woman referee in charge of a Premiership rugby match. If Cox impresses in Rio, who is to say she will not be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Wayne Barnes or JP Doyle in years to come? For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter.

At a campaign rally, he called the South Carolina senator an "idiot" and then told the crowd to try the number. A Politico reporter called the number on Tuesday, and Mr Graham answered. Mr Graham recently called Mr Trump "a jackass" and condemned the real estate mogul's comments about Senator John McCain. Mr Trump has come under increasing criticism from fellow Republicans and veterans groups after he appeared to disparage Mr McCain's war record. "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured," he said, referring to Mr McCain's time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Recent national polls show Mr Trump with a double-digit lead over his closest Republican rival. However the polling was mostly conducted before the controversial comments about Mr McCain. His rivals are becoming increasingly frustrated as Mr Trump continues to dominate the media coverage of the crowded Republican race. Mr Trump has drawn headlines since he called undocumented Mexican immigrants "rapists" and "criminals" when he launched his campaign in June. "The world is literally falling apart… and all we're talking about is Donald Trump," Mr Graham told CNN on Monday. To question the military record of Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war tortured so brutally that he is unable still to raise his arms above his shoulders, would ordinarily have been suicidal. But Trump is operating under rules of his own making that are perfectly suited to the voracious metabolism of the modern media, and the hyperventilated style of modern campaigning. The more outrageous his remarks, the more coverage and social media comment he generates. And the more coverage he receives, the better his polling numbers seemingly become. Increasingly, notoriety equals popularity amongst a large cohort of Republican voters. Trump: Master of the demolition derby

We all feel like he is innocent," said Haitian Senator Evince Francois. "We are here to let him know we stand up behind him. We think this is all politics," he told the Associated Press news agency. Until last week, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) listed Mr Philippe as a wanted man on charges of conspiracy to import cocaine and money laundering His arrest, on 5 January, came days before he was due to be sworn in as a senator, which would have given him some immunity from prosecution. Campaign group Human Rights Watch has accused him of overseeing extra-judicial killings. Mr Philippe, Haiti's former police chief, denies any wrongdoing. He took part in the 2004 rebellion that removed President Jean Bertrand Aristide from power. The new Haitian Senate, elected in November, was sworn in on Monday, with new president Jovenel Moise due to take office on 7 February.

Murray, the first British man to reach a Roland Garros final since 1937, hopes to add the French Open to his victories at the US Open and Wimbledon. Djokovic, the world number one, can finally add the one major title to have so far eluded him. It will be the pair's seventh meeting in a Grand Slam final. Djokovic leads that head-to-head 4-2, their overall contests 23-10 and has 11 major titles to Murray's two - but it was the Serb whom Murray beat to claim his Grand Slam victories at the US Open in 2012 and Wimbledon in 2013. The Scot also won their most recent meeting in the final of the clay-court Italian Open four weeks ago. Listen - Can Murray fight French Open demons? There is a huge amount at stake for both men in Sunday's final, with Murray again looking to match Fred Perry, Britain's last male champion in 1935. Sue Barker won the women's title in 1976 but since then a surprise run to the semi-finals by Tim Henman in 2004, followed by three semi-finals for Murray, were the best any Briton had managed on the Paris clay. "It's obviously a very big match for both of us, Novak trying to win the career slam and me trying to win my first French Open," Murray said. "Neither of us know how many more chances we'll have to win here. It's a very tough event to win. "There's a lot riding on the match for both of us." It is the first final between two top seeds trying to win a Grand Slam title for the first time since Ivan Lendl beat John McEnroe in Paris 32 years ago. Murray will hope to emulate the achievement of his former coach - and then second seed - Lendl, and he takes on a very familiar rival. Both finalists turned 29 last month and have known each other since junior days - but Djokovic has taken a firm grip on their personal duel in recent years, winning 12 of their last 14 matches. "We have had some really big battles in the Slams before on all the other surfaces," Murray said. "I'm sure it will be the same again on Sunday." Murray needed five sets to beat Radek Stepanek and Mathias Bourgue in his first two matches, and four sets to beat Richard Gasquet in the quarter-finals, but played superbly to beat defending champion Stan Wawrinka on Friday. "The conditions aren't that easy," he said. "It's been cold, wet, slow - much, much slower than what we played in the last few weeks. "Obviously getting through difficult matches, you can find your rhythm. I spent a lot of time on court at the beginning of the event. I'm starting to feel better every day." Djokovic and Murray have stood at the top of the rankings for all but a week in 2016 - but the Serb has a huge lead and would hold all four Grand Slam titles with another victory over Murray. Only American Don Budge in the 1930s and Australia's Rod Laver in the 1960s have achieved that feat, and just seven men have completed the career slam. However, Djokovic has played three French Open finals without success, losing twice to Rafael Nadal and then suffering a surprise defeat by an inspired Wawrinka 12 months ago. "I've put myself in a position in which I wanted to be in of course ever since last year's final," Djokovic said. "It's always high on the priority list when I start a season, thinking about Roland Garros." Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox.

It is not known which Indian schools have bought the book for their students, but correspondents say what is worrying is that such a book is available to students.

"They easily cheat, tell lies, forget promises, they are dishonest and tell bad words, steal, fight and turn to violence and commit sex crimes," it says. The chapter, full of factual inaccuracies, refers to Eskimos (Inuit) as "lazy, sluggish and short-lived", because they live on "a diet largely of meat".

The lawsuit filed in a federal court in San Francisco argues that the policy is unconstitutional. Women can serve in front line positions in the US military, but they are barred from ground combat units. A Pentagon spokesman said 14,500 combat positions had been opened to women under the current defence secretary. He added that Defence Secretary Leon Panetta had "directed the services to explore the possibility of opening additional roles for women in the military". But ACLU lawyer Ariela Migdal said the changes so far were "not enough". The lawsuit argues that continuing restrictions violate servicewomen's constitutional rights to equality. One of the plaintiffs, Marine Corps Capt Zoe Bedell, said existing rules had blocked her advancement in the Marines. "The military is the last place where you are allowed to be discriminated against because of your gender," she said. Women account for about 14% of the 1.4 million active US military personnel. The lawsuit launched on Tuesday says they are barred from 238,000 positions, but also alleges that they are already serving unofficially in combat units.
The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a challenge on behalf of four US servicewomen against a ban on women being deployed in most combat roles.

Tomasz Raszkiewicz "forcibly lunged" at Lucasz Gal's mother as she held him in her arms, causing the baby to fracture his skull on a door. Lucasz' "catastrophic" injuries mean he will have "no quality of life", Preston Crown Court heard. Raszkiewicz, 33, admitted wounding or inflicting GBH with intent and was jailed for three years and two months. The court heard Raszkiewicz was on the run from Polish authorities at the time of the attack on 22 November. His name had not been included on Lucasz's birth certificate as part of his efforts to evade capture. The court heard Raszkiewicz did not go to hospital with his son but left the couple's flat in Blackpool before his arrest three days later. Sentencing, Judge Heather Lloyd told him: "You then lied and said this was a terrible accident. That was cowardly behaviour." The court heard Lucasz's mother Jadwiga Gal gave the police five accounts as to how her son sustained his injuries, and it was the testimony of the boy's uncle which brought the case to court. Judge Lloyd told Raszkiewicz his actions had resulted in "catastrophic, life-changing injuries". "Such was the severity... a piece of his skull was embedded in his brain. "He only survived as a result of the skill of the surgeons," she said. The judge also criticised the boy's mother for choosing to protect Raszkiewicz rather than her baby boy. "Lucasz will never life a normal life... and be dependent on others for the rest of his life," she said. Raszkiewicz will be deported upon his release from prison, the court heard. Det Sgt Chris Williams of Lancashire Police said Raszkiewicz had shown "no remorse" or "regard for the safety and welfare of this defenceless baby, who should have been safe in the arms of his mother".

This is the full statement to the inquests from his niece, Ms Natalie Tennant, on behalf of his brother, Peter Copoc: Stephen Paul Copoc was born on 1 August 1968, and was aged 20 years when he died at Hillsborough. Stephen was the baby of our family, and the apple of our Mum's eye. Our family consisted of Mum and Dad, I, Peter, my sister Angela and then our Stephen. I was 10 years old when Stephen was born. Angela was just seven years old. Our Dad took us to the hospital, so that we could meet our new baby brother. Mum and Dad said that Angela and I could name him, and we did. Financially, we had little, but our parents, Agnes and Harold, made sure that there was lots of love in our house. Stephen was such a joy to all of us. Mum and Dad only received good reports from Stephen's school regarding his conduct and application to his lessons. Profiles of all those who died Stephen's personality was such that people warmed to him instantly as he had an easy way with him. He was popular with teachers and made friends, having the ability to also keep friends. The friends that he made when he was small were still his close friends when he died on that awful day. When we moved from Garston to our new house in Speke, Stephen had no problems adapting to the new environment, getting to know our new neighbours and making friends in an effortless and uncomplicated way. I started work at 17. There was a shop in Garston called Smiths that sold everything. It's gone now. I bought Stephen a train set when I got paid. He was about nine at the time and wanted one. As Angela and I were so much older than him, we kind of spoilt him, as he was such a lovable kid. I remember us both setting up the train set together and the joy Stephen got playing with it. He was so careful about his toys. When he finished playing with the train set, he would put it away neatly. He minded his toys. He used to follow Angela everywhere, even if she was going out to meet friends he would follow her and she would complain to Mum and Dad about having to bring 11 him. However, one day someone told Angela that there was an accident on the road and that Stephen was hurt. Angela ran down the cinder path near our home towards the school crying. When she got there, she was told he had not waited for the lollipop lady and got a bump from a car. He was physically fine, but Angela was sobbing and so distressed at the thought that Stephen was hurt. Angela was so good to Stephen and minded him throughout his childhood. All her friends knew him well because he was like her shadow. Stephen started to take an interest in birds when he was about 12 years old. He started to study them and could tell you the name of most birds as well as their eggs. It was also around this time that he became interested in fishing. We had cousins that were avid fishermen and they took him along to Speke Hall, which is a rural setting in a National Trust estate right in the middle of Liverpool. He just loved fishing there and knew all about the fish that lived in the waters there. He seldom, if ever, brought fish home to Mum and Dad. It was a joke in our house about Stephen catching fish, but he preferred to put the fish back into the water. We think it was the birds and the fishing that started Stephen wanted to work out of doors. He appreciated being outdoors. He finished school at 16 years of age and studied for his City and Guilds in Botany and Horticulture. He could name any flower and plant and was perfectly at home with nature. He applied for and got a job with the Liverpool Parks and Gardens based in Calderstones Park. He treasured his job and became a gardener at Sudley Hall in Mossley Hill. He loved his work, the people he worked with, he enjoyed meeting all the visitors and telling them about the gardens. When Stephen was about 15 years old, he met his girlfriend Jackie. They were very much in love and were engaged to be married when he died. Stephen knew what he wanted from life. He was very close to our Mum and his main ambition in life was to save enough money to buy our parents a house. He did not want them living in rented accommodation. He was mature and sensible for his age. He took out insurance policies in case anything happened to him, as he wanted our parents to have some money. He was very caring to his nieces and nephews. When Angela's marriage broke down and she was on her own with her two children, Sean and Carla, Stephen with his girlfriend Jackie would babysit and play with the children, keeping them amused for hours. He could have been out with his mates but knew that Angela needed time alone and his family always came first with him. Stephen, of course, loved football. His love of football and of Liverpool came from our Dad. The whole family travelled around to watch the matches, but not since 1989. After 1989, we gave the season tickets back and we never went to a football match again. Stephen loved to play football as well. He was not the best of players, but he was like an encyclopaedia when it came to anything about football generally. Stephen was a great music fan. He was always playing Pink Floyd and, in particular, 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond'. He always loved Marillion and went to concerts with his four close friends. Our parents never got over Stephen's death and the way he died. Our brother Stephen was one of life's genuine nice guys. Our Stephen was just 20 years of age, but had maturity and a caring attitude towards others and even from a young age carried a donor card. We miss Stephen from our family and think about what might have been for all of us as a family if Stephen had not died on that awful day. Thank you.

Northern Ireland's Rea finished second after an exciting duel with Welshman Davies at the Spanish circuit. Rea led for most of the race after starting ninth on the grid and briefly hit the front again on the last lap. Despite not winning for the first time this year, Rea has extended his championship lead to 50 points. Marco Melandri of Italy was third with England's Tom Sykes in fourth place. Davies crashed in Saturday's race one while leading in the closing stages, and the victory sees him regain second place in the overall standings. Rea, 30, is attempting to become the first rider to win three successive WSB titles. "I tried my hardest but it wasn't enough," said Rea. "I had a good first few laps and got stuck into a rhythm but, with the slipstream, the group stayed together. "It was so windy, it was quite scary. "On the last lap, Chaz made a mistake and opened the door but then he quickly closed it again. "Congratulations to Chaz - he did a good job after what happened yesterday." Rea started the season with double wins at Phillip Island and Thailand, and made it five out of five by winning the first race at Aragon.
Defending champion Jonathan Rea's run of five successive World Superbike victories ended when Chaz Davies won race two at Aragon on Sunday.

Scientists hope the material will reveal details about the formation of the planets, and improve our knowledge of how potentially dangerous space objects move through the Solar System. The probe, dubbed Osiris-Rex, blasted away from Florida on an Atlas rocket at 19:05 local time (00:05 BST). It will be seven years before it returns to Earth with its bounty. This will be delivered in a capsule that will be parachuted down to the Utah desert on 24 September 2023. It is not the first such sample-return mission - the Japanese brought back a tiny amount of dust from asteroid Itokawa in 2010. But the Americans hope to acquire considerably more material, weighing perhaps a few hundred grams. Engineers have developed a collection device that will extend from Osiris-Rex on a robotic arm and "high five" the surface of Bennu. On contact, the mechanism will deliver a burst of gas to kick up loose fragments that should then settle in a holding chamber prior to being packed away in the return capsule. Asteroids are left-overs from the original building blocks of the Solar System. As such they should still retain clues to the events that brought the Sun and the planets into being. Bennu is a so-called "B-type" asteroid. It is very dark. Telescope observations suggest it is rich in carbon compounds. "For primitive, carbon-rich asteroids like Bennu, materials are preserved from over 4.5 billion years ago. We're talking about the formation of our Solar System," explained Christina Richey, Nasa's Osiris-Rex deputy programme scientist. "And these primitive materials could contain organic molecules that may be the precursors to life here on Earth or elsewhere within our Solar System." Sample-Return missions are the future of space exploration, believes UK mission scientist Ian Franchi. The range of studies that can be conducted back on the Earth is far broader than can be pursued in-situ by a probe. "The instruments we use in the lab are the size of family cars or bigger if you think of synchrotron facilities," he told BBC News. "They require amazing temperature control or very sophisticated sample preparation techniques. "These are all things you just cannot do robotically on a spacecraft. And the other big issue is dating - we have to understand when something's happened and that chronology work has to be done in an Earth lab." Osiris-Rex - Mission to Asteroid Bennu Osiris-Rex will spend at least 2.5 years at Bennu. One of its tasks in this time will be to measure accurately something called the "Yarkovsky effect". This describes how an asteroid will alter its path through the Solar System when its surface is heated by the Sun. "It has to radiate that energy back out into space, and when that happens it acts like a thruster and changes the trajectory of the asteroid," said Dante Lauretta, the mission's principal investigator from the University of Arizona, Tucson. "If you want to be able to predict where an object like Bennu is going to be in the future, you have to account for this phenomenon." The effect is tiny, but over the centuries could make the difference between a threatening asteroid either hitting or a missing the Earth.

MI6 and and GCHQ advertised on the Mumsnet website for the first time this year, and MI5 has raised its target for women employees to 45% by 2021. Flexible working and the importance of "high emotional intelligence" are also being stressed in recruitment. The agencies were responding to calls from MPs to recruit more women. Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee reported in March 2015 that 37% of intelligence agency staff were women and women only make up 19% of senior civil servants in the agencies. One year on, the government says that it and the agencies - internal security service MI5, external spy agency MI6 and the government listening post GCHQ - "agree wholeheartedly" with the need for "diversity" in agency staff. It says action has been taken since the report was published to "increase their focus" on "all aspects of diversity", including recruiting more women. Recruitment targets, "diversity champions", events such as a recent "Women in Cyber" event and more career support for female officers are part of efforts to employ more women and encourage talented existing women to apply for promotion. They also say they are doing more to "promote a flexible working culture" for men and women with childcare commitments and to allow women returning from maternity leave to take up their old jobs - including in intelligence roles. The three agencies also said they were always looking for "new and innovative ways to recruit those with the right skills, mind-set and diversity of approach". MI5 had already used Mumsnet as well as local newspapers to target women "not currently in work" while the other two agencies did so for the first time this year. GCHQ has also removed a requirement of a 2:1 university degree from its "fast-stream" recruitment to encourage women who had followed a "non-traditional graduate route". The government said the initiatives were having an effect as MI5 had recently been placed in the Times Top 50 employers for women and had increased its number of new female employees by 5% to 46% of new recruits. GCHQ had seen applications from women rise to 40%. MI6 had increased its female recruitment targets for 2016/17 after seeing a 4% drop in women - to 41% of new recruits. The government also said career support for female staff was having a "real impact" with increased numbers of women applying for senior roles in MI5.
UK intelligence agencies say they are recruiting more female staff - and are targeting middle-age and "mid-career" women for jobs.

But Team Sky's leading rider stressed the importance to the outfit of under-fire boss Sir Dave Brailsford. UK Anti-Doping is investigating a 'mystery package' sent for Team Sky's former rider Sir Bradley Wiggins at a race in 2011. Brailsford last week said he would not resign over the package. "Without Dave B, there is no Team Sky," said Froome, who added it would "take time for faith to be restored". Brailsford has said he was told the package contained a legal decongestant - Fluimucil - but the team has been unable to provide records to back up the claim. Team Sky has since accepted "mistakes were made" over how medical records relating to the package were kept but denied breaking anti-doping rules. Froome added: "I would like to apologise for this on behalf of myself and the other riders of Team Sky who feel passionately about our sport and winning clean." A parliamentary select committee into anti-doping has been hearing evidence about the package, with committee chairman Damian Collins MP saying that Team Sky's reputation had been "left in tatters". Dr Richard Freeman, who received the package for Wiggins at the Criterium du Dauphine, did not attend the last hearing because of ill health. The committee has also heard evidence about Wiggins' use of therapeutic use exemptions, or TUEs, which allow athletes to take otherwise-banned substances when there is a clear medical need. Wiggins was granted a TUE to take anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone before the 2011 Tour de France, his 2012 Tour win and the 2013 Giro d'Italia. Wiggins' TUEs were approved by British authorities and cycling's world governing body the UCI, and there is no suggestion either he or Team Sky have broken any rules. Last week several Team Sky riders - including Britain's Geraint Thomas - tweeted their support for Brailsford, but Froome did not comment publicly at the time. Thomas also said last week there were "still questions to be answered" and expressed his annoyance that "Freeman and Brad don't seem to have the flak". "It disappoints me hugely to see the way in which Team Sky has been portrayed by the media recently. It does not reflect the support crew and the riders that I see around me. "At the same time, I completely understand why people feel let down by the way in which the situation has been handled, and going forward we need to do better. "I would like to apologise for this on behalf of myself and the other riders of Team Sky who feel passionately about our sport and winning clean. I believe in the people around me, and what we are doing. "With respect to Dave Brailsford, he has created one of the best sports teams in the world. Without Dave B, there is no Team Sky. "He has supported me throughout the last seven years of my career and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunities and the experiences I've had. By his own admission, mistakes have been made, but protocols have been put in place to ensure that those same mistakes will not be made again. "I know it will take time for faith to be restored, but I will do my utmost to ensure that happens, along with everyone else at Team Sky." BBC sports editor Dan Roan This may appear to be Chris Froome belatedly backing his under-fire boss Sir Dave Brailsford, but read the careful wording closely and it is clear that his support is very, very qualified. This is different from the "100% backing" messages that several of Froome's team-mates gave to the Team Sky principal last week. Instead, Froome seems to be taking a more pragmatic stand, making the point that unless Brailsford stays, Sky's sponsorship may cease, and the team could fold. This is how high the stakes have now become for one of the most successful professional teams in sport.
Britain's three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has apologised for the way Team Sky has handled questions over its record on doping.

It was gobsmacking, unbelievable, enthralling and explosive throughout, featuring huge momentum swings and with outstanding individual performances in all three Tests. I thought beforehand that if they lost the first Test the Lions would lose the series 3-0, so I have to give credit to what is the strongest Lions side since 2001, or maybe even 1997, for the way they fought back. The quality shone through both in the players and the coaching. After the first week or so the debate about lack of preparation time died down - that is one for the administrators to sort out behind closed doors. But just think what they could have done with 10 days' more time to get ready - they might even have gone in as favourites against the world champions. This will be a tour remembered for Sean O'Brien's try in the first Test. The Lions may have lost that match but it was a wonder try, and now the lads have managed to draw the series that score will be the one that sticks in the memory. Although that might be the standout moment, to be honest pretty much every moment of every Test was a defining moment - it really was that good. The most significant moment was Sonny Bill Williams' red card in the second Test. You don't know for certain what the outcome would have been had he not been sent off, but it's more than likely New Zealand would have won. That was effectively two defining moments - the impact of his shoulder with Anthony Watson's head, and the moment referee Jerome Garces - correctly - decided it was a red-card offence. It was a huge momentum swing in both the match and the series, although it didn't seem so immediately because the Lions proceeded to give away loads of penalties and slip nine points behind, before finally starting to believe in themselves and scoring two great tries as they fought back to win. Another pivotal moment would have been conversations after the first Test because the Lions had been dominated physically in many cases. The conversations must have been along the lines of looking players in the eye and saying: "Are you genuinely up for this?" Warren Gatland's decision to field the back three of Liam Williams, Watson and Elliot Daly in the second Test was a bit of a surprise but, as before with the coach's decisions, it worked out. And then there's the penalty that then wasn't in the final Test. Sam Warburton dug deep into the Lions' legacy and his own mental reserves to prevent New Zealand doing what they wanted to do with the ball. But arguably his biggest contribution was being respected enough by Romain Poite for the referee to change his decision and decide to award a scrum to New Zealand, rather than a very kickable penalty, right at the end of Saturday's decider. It was huge because, unless I've got the rules wrong, it was a penalty as the ball was avoidable for Ken Owens, while a scrum says contact was accidental. He caught it and although it was maybe a reflex action, catching and then releasing the ball suggests he could have avoided it. I have to say 'God bless the Kiwis', because on the pitch they accepted it. They will talk to the referee after the game, but during matches they just get on with it. They set the standards. Jonathan Davies was very good and was the Lions players' man of the series but for me the best player in a red shirt was Taulupe Faletau. The Wales number eight was so consistent, and I believe there's even more to come. He's a phenomenal athlete with a fantastic engine, which allows him to always play for 80 minutes in both defence and attack. I'd still like to see more of him carrying in the wider channels, but he was my man of series. Rugby is such a squad game it's a shame you have to pick individuals but Taulupe is a bit of an unsung hero and his work-rate and ability mean he made a massive contribution. His Wales team-mate Davies had a fine series. He made some great breaks, he was solid in defence without being headline-making, he assumed the role of carrying to the gainline in the second and third Tests, came up with a couple of good relieving kicks and played well all round. Maro Itoje showed his growing maturity by the way he pushed the boundaries - he was knowingly offside and doing it for a reason, which is great when you get away with it. He was magnificent in the third Test and at one point made four tackles in about 45 seconds. His willingness to be involved is staggering and a benchmark for anyone who wants to be the best. Owen Farrell's mental ability to step back and kick crucial penalties, especially after he missed a couple of kicks early in the tour, shows his ability to totally zone in when he has to - something New Zealand's Beauden Barrett, for all his other abilities, doesn't seem able to do. O'Brien was also impactful on the flank and made sure the Lions were on the front foot both in attack and defence, and his Ireland team-mate Conor Murray was very good at the base, helping run the game. I hope this series is a springboard for the home unions to believe there can be a shift in power in terms of the world rankings and beating the southern hemisphere teams on a more regular basis. Let's get fitter and really test ourselves. I don't think many of the home unions can compete on skills in the forwards with New Zealand but the back three the Lions fielded was probably more skilful and adventurous than that of the hosts, which shows the possibilities are there. There was some talk going into the series that the future of the Lions was once again under threat and what's interesting is that the posturing is coming from the clubs. I would like to think they're clever enough to go and do the negotiations behind the scenes now because they must realise how secure the Lions' future is. Ask a player, coach or supporter if they think the Lions is here to stay and there will be a resounding yes. That says everything that needs to be said. Jerry was talking to BBC Sport's James Standley.
We have just witnessed a phenomenal Lions series.

Cleverly, 29, will face Braehmer for the WBA regular light-heavyweight belt in Germany on 1 October. The Welshman's three career defeats have all come in his last six bouts. "This is a must-win for me - I'm confident I can upset the champion," said Cleverly. "I believe this is my opportunity to turn things around." Cleverly and Braehmer were due to meet in 2011 before an eye injury forced Braehmer to withdraw. The German will be aiming for a seventh successful defence of his title, while Cleverly lost his WBO crown in 2013 when he was stopped by Sergey Kovalev. Asked if this would be his last world title fight if he lost to Braehmer, Cleverly told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "Possibly so and probably so. "I knew the world title opportunity would come back around. "Sometimes you hit those plateaus - you peak and then have a bit of a flat period. But I think I've got through that and the best is yet to come." The WBA super world light-heavyweight title - the body's top honour in this weight division - is held by Kovalev. Cleverly's last fight was a points defeat by Andrej Fonfara in Chicago in October 2015, though he was encouraged by his performance. "We [Cleverly and Braehmer] were meant to fight three times in the past but he never fancied the challenge when I was at the peak of my game and had a lot of hunger and fire," he added. "Maybe he's taken the fight now thinking I've had a quiet couple of years and gone off the boil. "Maybe he's thinking this is his opportunity to beat me but, as I showed in my last fight, the fire is coming back. "I'm looking to become a two-time champion and I'm going to grab it with both hands. "It's notoriously difficult for boxers in Germany against the home fighters, but I'm confident that I'm not just going to win, I'm going to win emphatically and take it out of everyone's hands."

Sri Lanka made 248-9 after half-centuries from Kusal Mendis (53), Dinesh Chandimal (62) and captain Angelo Mathews (56), as Liam Plunkett took 3-46. Rain delayed the start of the run chase and England were 16-1 as the weather forced the abandonment at 17:30 BST. England lead the five-match series 1-0. Alex Hales, who scored 133 not out in the second ODI, was out for a golden duck to the third ball of the run chase, leaving fellow opener Jason Roy and Joe Root at the crease when play ended. Plunkett took control at Bristol with the key wickets of Kusal Perera, Mendis and Seekkuge Prasanna after David Willey had removed Danushka Gunathilaka in the first over. Chandimal top scored for the visitors and held partnerships of 56 and 80 with Mendis and Mathews respectively. Chris Woakes (3-34) helped stifle Sri Lanka's innings towards the end, and finished with wickets in successive 49th-over deliveries. The next ODI takes place at The Oval on Wednesday. Plunkett appears to be getting into his groove against the Sri Lankans, having only returned to ODI cricket in June 2015 after more than four years out. The Yorkshire bowler has seven wickets so far in the series, although the highlight to date came with the bat when he smashed a six off the final ball of the opener at Trent Bridge to earn England a tie. At Bristol, Plunkett showed his ability across spells, dismissing Perera in his first over, before accounting for half-centurion Mendis just when Sri Lanka looked set for a productive recovery. He followed it up by removing the dangerous Prasanna for two in his third spell, leaving Woakes the task of helping to mop up the tail. Plunkett's wickets took his ODI tally to 52, and ensured Sri Lanka could not mount a serious challenge with the bat. The visitors, already reeling from Friday's 10-wicket defeat, were dealt an injury blow on Sunday when Lahiru Thirimanne was being flown back home with a lower back strain and replaced by Niroshan Dikwella. Captain Mathews and vice-captain Chandimal are also nursing hamstring niggles but played on. And Farveez Maharoof batted with a fractured finger on his left hand, becoming one of Woakes' victims late on. Overall, it paints a worrying picture for Sri Lanka, who are yet to win a game on their England tour, though Mathews and Chandimal making half-centuries would have been a positive. England captain Eoin Morgan on Sky Sports: "We're building a lot of momentum towards where we want to be. We are being harsh on ourselves and want to be the best. "I think the bowlers have coped well so far. I haven't felt light, and it is very useful to have Joe Root as well. He is more than a part-time bowler. "I thought our disciplines were a lot better today and reducing them to 248 was a good achievement." England bowler Liam Plunkett told BBC Sport: "We felt like we bowled well and kept them to a gettable target so we are disappointed we didn't finish the game off because we were in a strong position. But we go to The Oval with spirits high. "I feel in a good place, I'm confident in all aspects and if I get the nod in Test cricket I'll back myself to do well. "I just enjoy it now, to have a chance to win a game for England is what every kid wants and I think it took me a while to realise that you can actually do that. When I was younger, I was pleased to make up the numbers but now I want to be the match winner."
England and Sri Lanka were thwarted in the third one-day international at Bristol as rain allowed just four overs of the hosts' run chase.

"We can confirm that we are in discussions with the Scotland Women's national team players regarding terms and conditions ahead of the women's Euros in the Netherlands next month," it said. "We will endeavour to resolve this matter at the earliest opportunity through discussions with their advisors." Scotland's home-based players are being funded to go full-time as they prepare for the finals, where Scotland meet England, Portugal and Spain. A package agreed between the Scottish Football Partnership, Sport Scotland and energy firm SSE will provide finances until the tournament is over. Around half the squad are expected to benefit from the scheme. Head coach Signeul distanced herself from the dispute, saying she feels coaches should not be involved as it is between the players and the SFA. "I'm not involved at all in that process," said Signeul, who suggested it was the same for men's head coach Gordon Strachan. "They do this on the men's side as well, they negotiate contracts. "It is between the SFA and the players and I don't think Gordon has anything to do with this either, it's nothing to do with us coaches." Signeul will name her squad for Euro 2017 on 20 June.

Glamorgan built their innings on a 122-run second-wicket stand between Will Bragg (75) and Jacques Rudolph (53). After Graham Wagg's 49, the hosts were bowled out in the final over for 289. Chasing 290 to win, the visitors were eventually restricted to 237 all out, despite Michael Klinger's 52 and some late stroke play from Benny Howell (77). Bragg's aggressive 75 off 68 balls got the scoreboard moving well, while Rudolph's cautious 53 was his first half-century of the season. Matt Taylor, Liam Norwell and Howell all bowled intelligently to restrict Glamorgan's acceleration in the latter stages. But the target of 290 looked a long way off when Wagg claimed two early wickets and part-time spinner Colin Ingram took two cheap ones in the middle of the innings, including the vital one of Klinger. Howell's hitting took the game into the closing overs to make it a fine personal performance, before becoming Timm van der Gugten's third wicket. Glamorgan now face Sussex in Cardiff on Wednesday, while Gloucestershire host Middlesex on the same day, still looking for their first win. The One-Day Cup holders lost their opening game by one wicket to Somerset on Sunday when the home side's last pair Jamie Overton and Tim Groenewald put on an unlikely 65 to win with three balls to spare. Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph told BBC Wales Sport: "We were quite clinical in the way we went about our business. William Bragg batted outstandingly but we were 15-20 runs short of where we could have been. "I just wanted to spend some time in the middle. That's important when you're not performing as well as you'd like and I was fortunate to bat with Braggy who's in very good touch. "Our bowlers were very good. Colin Ingram bowled exceptionally, as well as Timm van der Gugten. At the moment we've got some good momentum in white-ball cricket. If that can continue for the rest of the week I'll be a happy captain." Gloucestershire captain Michael Klinger told BBC Radio Bristol: "Last year we won seven out of eight. There's no reason why we can't win five out of six now but we need to do the little things a bit better, particularly in the field. "We got out-worked because they out-fielded us and bowled really well to their field. "It's tough not having Jack Taylor to bowl. Either we need the guys we've got to bowl better or we need to change the line-up. "It's disappointing. We need a collective effort and so far we haven't had that."
Glamorgan began their One-Day Cup campaign with a convincing 52-run win as holders Gloucestershire lost their second match in as many days.

It says "cosmetic lightening and hygiene creams... that de-pigment the skin... are now forbidden". Whitening creams have been popular for years among young women - and some men - across Africa, who believe they make them more beautiful. But medical experts say they may cause cancer, diabetes, severe skin conditions and other diseases. "The number of people with side-effects caused by these medicines is really high," Christian Doudouko, a member of Ivory Coast's pharmaceutical authority, was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. Latest African news updates Africa: Where black is not really beautiful British consultant dermatologist Justine Kluk told the BBC the major concern was over unregulated products, which may contain ingredients such as mercury or excessive amounts of steroids. "If one thinks about steroids being present in these products, they're often present in much higher quantities than we would prescribe," she said. She said the creams can cause a variety of health issues, such as "acne, thinning of the skin, glaucoma or cataracts if applied near the eyes". "Or if applied liberally to the whole body, [they can] cause high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, weight gain, mood disturbance due to absorption of large amounts of steroids," she said. However, analysts say the ban may not stop people buying the products. They are still used in The Gambia despite a ban. South Africa has the world's toughest laws against skin lighteners, having prohibited the most active ingredient - hydroquinone, but a University of Cape Town study found that more than a third of South African women still buy them. The use of whitening creams in Africa is most widespread in Nigeria - where more than 75% of women buy them, according to a 2008 UN Environment Programme study.
Ivory Coast has banned skin-whitening creams because of health concerns, the health ministry says.

Her Royal Highness took the baton at the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra's new home, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. It was part of an event where 250 schoolchildren were introduced to music in front of the Duke and Duchess. The Royal party are due back in the UK on Friday evening, after a five-day tour that began in Poland on Monday. On the last day of the tour, the Duchess, who comes from a musical family and played the flute at school, took the musicians through the first notes of Beethoven's fifth symphony. The royal couple then listened to a performance of a symphony especially adapted for young people, and then went on stage to learn more about the orchestra. Earlier, Catherine and William walked around the stage accompanying six children trying out different instruments, including a violin, flute, timpani [kettle drums] and trombone. Later the Duke of Cambridge gave Prince George and Princess Charlotte a guided tour of a helicopter at the Airbus factory in Hamburg. Prince George tried on a pilot's helmet while Princess Charlotte played with buttons in the cockpit. The Duke flew helicopters when he was an air ambulance pilot. Antoine van Gent, head of flight testing at Airbus, said: "The Duke was very relaxed showing his children the professional aircraft he uses. "George was excited, with the first helicopter he wanted to sit in the cockpit and then he wanted to sit in the next one, he already knew there was a difference between them." Charlotte was less impressed after taking a tumble on the concrete after leaving the aircraft but Mr van Gent said she enjoyed playing in the pilot's seat.

The retailer has been under fire over zero hours contracts and disclosure that staff at a warehouse were paid less than the minimum wage. Independent shareholders had called for changes to the way the company was run. Sources told the BBC that Mr Forsey was "not coerced", and that Mr Ashley is a permanent replacement, not temporary. The billionaire businessman has given up his role as executive deputy chairman. BBC business correspondent Joe Lynam said sources told him that the shake-up was not part of a plan to take Sports Direct private. There has been speculation that, following months of criticism of the company, Mr Ashley wanted to remove Sports Direct from the stock market. Mr Ashley, who owns more than 50% of the company, said in a statement: "I feel like I have lost my right arm, but I do hope to have the opportunity to work with Dave again in the future." Mr Forsey has worked for the retailer for 32 years after starting as a part-time worker when he was 18. Earlier this year he agreed to forgo a £3.7m share award in recognition of the problems at the company. Mr Forsey said: "I have given my entire working life to the company and in return the company has given me amazing opportunities and experiences." Sports Direct's board made two other changes, promoting Karen Byers to the role of global head of operations, and Sean Nevitt to the role of global head of commercial. Amid criticism over Sports Direct's working practices and bad publicity, there had been calls by shareholders for the removal of chairman Keith Hellawell. The company, which has around 450 retail outlets, came under the spotlight after an investigation uncovered that staff were kept on site at its giant Shirebrook warehouse in Derbyshire after their shifts for body searches. These took so long that their pay effectively dipped below the minimum wage. Mr Ashley, Sports Direct's billionaire founder, was called to answer questions from MPs, who compared working practices at the warehouse with "that of a Victorian workhouse than that of a modern High Street retailer". In the wake of that, the sportswear chain's lawyers produced a critical report of its working conditions. The company was criticised for its use of zero hours contracts. It says it will offer workers who want them guaranteed hours. It also said it would put a worker on the board. That report also criticised Mr Forsey for failing to inform the Sports Direct board about some of the issues at Shirebrook. But calls for an independent review continued and earlier this week, Sports Direct said it would authorise such a study of working practices and corporate governance, following concerns raised by shareholders. Mr Ashley denied knowing much about the way Shirebrook operated, telling the BBC: "You'd be surprised how little I knew of what was going on." Like so many in the company's hierarchy, Karen Byers, Sports Direct's new global head of operations met founder Mike Ashley informally and has known him a very long time. She's been with the company for more than 20 years and it is said she got the job after trying to sell Mike Ashley a pair of jeans. Despite being head of retail at a publicly-listed retail giant with 30,000 employees for much at that time, she's very low profile indeed. Earlier this year Mike Ashley himself singled her out in a rare interview he gave to the Times newspaper: "Karen Byers runs Sports Direct. She runs the retail, all the money comes out the retail, [the warehouse workers and store managers] are her army. She is the person who sets the rules. Not me." One investment analyst firm said she was well regarded inside the company and out. The same firm though said she was not known for her "flowery or evasive approach". Just like her boss. Paul Blomfield, a member of the Business Innovation and Skills committee which grilled Mike Ashley in June, is not convinced by the changes: "What our committee wanted to happen was for the company to seriously address what was, not just problems around the edges, but systemic labour exploitation in the workplace. And whether Mr Ashley is the person to do that - given the evidence he gave to our committee - is yet to be seen." Mike Fox, from shareholder Royal London Asset Management, wasn't impressed with Friday's board changes either: "The installation of Mike Ashley as chief executive, consolidating his influence at the top of the business, is unlikely to reassure anyone." He said the way the company was run had long been a problem and that Sports Direct still needed a new chairman before it could rebuild trust with investors. Sarah Wilson, chief executive of shareholder pressure group, Manifest, told BBC Radio 5 live the move added another corporate governance problem: "Are we going to see [Mike Ashley] step down from his other job as deputy chairman? "Had Mike Ashley listened to shareholders four or five years ago, we might not be in the situation we're in at the moment." She said the company's actions were not just damaging to shareholders but "undermined the general public's perception of capitalism - full stop". Nevertheless, market reaction suggests most investors were pleased that Mike Ashley would have a more direct role in the company and the shares were up about 5% in morning trade. Mr Ashley's brash style is unorthodox for the founder and executive of a leading UK company. The owner of Newcastle United football club was photographed with a wad of cash when he took shareholders and journalists on a tour of the Shirebrook site after the shareholders' meeting. He also revealed that he travels to work by helicopter. The company employs Mike Ashley's daughter's boyfriend to run its property arm. Financially, the company is not in a good place. The company's shares have fallen by 50% this year, and earlier this month Sports Direct warned that that profits next year would be down on this year.
The founder and majority owner of Sports Direct, Mike Ashley, has stepped in as chief executive after the surprise resignation of Dave Forsey.

Wing Fu Cheung, known as Nelson Cheung, was stabbed 18 times during a robbery in January 2015. Portuguese national Virgilio Correia, 35, of Grant Avenue in Randalstown, will serve at least 16 years in prison for the murder. Christopher Menaul, 27, from Barra Street in Antrim, will serve at least nine years in jail for the murder. They both also received a further 12 years in prison for wounding with intent, and 12 years for robbery, to run concurrently. The judge said the murder had been carried out by "drug-addled, parasitic assailants". Belfast Crown Court heard that the killers needed money to pay paramilitaries over a drugs debt. Sentencing Correia, the judge said: "Your decision to take a knife with you had a catastrophic effect and led to an orgy of violence. "But for your actions, Mr Cheung might still be alive, enjoying the grandchildren he never got to meet because of your senseless cruelty." Speaking after the sentencing, PSNI Det Ch Insp Eamonn Corrigan said: "It was one of the most vicious attacks I have experienced during my service as a police officer. "The crime was absolutely reckless and I echo the judge's comments that the level of violence used was completely disproportionate to what was to be obtained - this robbery did not require the use of knives." He said a major break in the investigation came when police identified the attempted purchase of a hot tub on online auction site eBay using one of the stolen credit cards within an hour of the murder. This led police to an address occupied by husband and wife Gary and Lisa Thompson, who were jailed for their part in assisting the killers. Ballymena man Mr Cheung, 64, ran the Double Value Chinese takeaway restaurant in Randalstown. His wife Kam-Fung, known as Winnie, was also wounded and robbed in the attack. The men had attacked the Cheungs as they drove home after closing their restaurant for the night. Mrs Cheung's handbag - containing £200 in cash, bank cards, an iPad, an iPhone and several other items - was taken during the incident. Following the murder, she returned to Hong Kong with the couple's children, from where they watched Tuesday's court proceedings. The judge said: "That pitiful scene at the side of a country road haunts the Cheung family to this day. It is an image they will never put behind them." The two men also admitted wounding Mrs Cheung with intent to do her grievous bodily harm, and robbing her. Correia was also sentenced to 12 years in prison for wounding Mrs Cheung and 12 years for robbery, to be served concurrently. Menaul, who was described as "a secondary party" in the murder, was also given 12 years for the wounding and robbery, to be served concurrently. Gary and Lisa Thompson, of Felden Avenue in Newtownabbey, admitted assisting offenders by allowing Correia and Menaul to take refuge in their home after the murder, as well as letting them clean themselves and remove clothing. Both also pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice. Gary Thompson, 34, admitted robbery for which he was sentenced to seven years. He received three years, to be served concurrently, for the other two charges against him. Lisa Thompson, 35, also admitted handling stolen goods. She was sentenced to two years, suspended for two years, for each of the three counts against her, to be served concurrently.

Rizwan Akhtar was promoted from major-general to lieutenant-general to assume the new role and is considered an ally of army chief Gen Raheel Sharif. As head of the paramilitary Rangers force in the southern city of Karachi he launched a major operation against criminal gangs and Taliban militants. He replaces Lt-Gen Zaheerul Islam who is scheduled to retire in October. The BBC's Shahzeb Jillani says the outgoing ISI chief is widely seen to have been at odds with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, with some even accusing him of encouraging recent protests against the government. The military also promoted five other officers to lieutenant general rank to replace outgoing personnel. The appointments are expected to help the latter consolidate his position, our correspondent says. Although Pakistan saw its first democratic civilian transfer of power last year, the country has been ruled by the army for much of its history. The ISI was established in 1948 - as Pakistan engaged India in the first war over Kashmir - and became the primary institution running the intelligence operations of the army, air force and navy. Analysts say that although its precise machinations have remained shadowy, there is little doubt it has played a major role in Pakistan's volatile politics. Rizwan Akhtar's operation to reduce crime levels in Karachi received a lot of publicity but human rights activists also warned of violations. Between 2007 and 2010, he was posted in the South Waziristan tribal region where Pakistan Taliban militants are known to have sheltered. "He is a professional soldier who has experience of both Fata and internal security in Karachi," an army official told the Dawn newspaper.

His left-wing Social Democrat party (PSD) had accused him of failing to carry out necessary economic reforms. The prime minister was involved in a power struggle with party leader Liviu Dragnea, who was barred from office after a conviction for voter fraud. Mr Grindeanu lost the censure motion by 241 votes to 10. The decision by his own party and its liberal ALDE allies to oust him was seen as a first, even for Romania's turbulent politics. For the motion to pass they needed a parliamentary majority of 233 votes. The PSD won elections in December only a year after losing power. Within weeks, protests erupted across the country over a decree seen as weakening anti-corruption measures in one of the European Union's most corrupt member states. In February the EU warned the government in Bucharest against "backtracking" in its efforts against corruption. Although Mr Grindeanu withdrew the decree, the crisis weakened the new government and soured relations between the prime minister and Mr Dragnea. Mr Dragnea criticised his rival's performance in government on Wednesday, accusing him of failing to push through "the most ambitious programme since 1989". Some commentators have argued that his removal was more about relaxing measures aimed at tackling corruption. Mr Dragnea, while being the power behind the left-wing party's throne, cannot take power because he was given a suspended jail term for vote rigging and also faces trial for alleged abuse of office. His first choice as prime minister, Sevil Shhaideh, was turned down by President Klaus Iohannis in December. A new nominee from the ruling coalition will also have to be approved by the president. Far from being the sick man of Europe, Romania's economy is showing the highest growth in the EU, at 5.6% in the year to March 2017. However, its justice system has been under EU scrutiny ever since the country joined in 2007. In its most recent report this year, the EU's executive praised Romania's anti-corruption agency (DNA) but warned that the fight against corruption was under serious threat from political and media attack.
Romanian Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu has been forced from power after only six months by his own party, in a no-confidence vote in parliament.

The former Huddersfield and Birmingham manager will need to hit the ground running at Rugby Park, with the team just one point above the relegation play-off place. And his old team-mate Alex Rae - the St Mirren manager - reckons the Killie board have chosen wisely. "I think he will be a very good addition to Scottish football," Rae told BBC Scotland. "I knew him from playing against him, and he became a team-mate in 1997 when he joined Sunderland. "Lee has been around a long, long time now as a player and in the coaching and management side of things." Kilmarnock can certainly expect to see a manager who wears his heart on his sleeve. "The one thing about Lee Clark is you definitely see his passion, you see him running up and down the touchline," added Rae. "The board will be looking for a little bit of a bounce, they will be hoping they can continue the form from the last couple of games where they have drawn with Rangers and got a really good result at the weekend [a 2-0 victory at Motherwell]." "He will be going into a dressing room that will be a wee bit encouraged." The undoubted highlight of Clark's managerial story thus far was his first job. It ran from 2008 to 2012 following coaching spells at Newcastle United and Norwich City. For a while he was a huge prospect down south, famously taking League One Huddersfield on a 43-match unbeaten run. Backed by chairman Dean Hoyle, the remit for Clark was to take The Terriers into the Championship. Twice they made the play-offs. Twice they failed to go up. Eventually patience ran out and in February 2012 Clark was sacked following a 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United - a decision that looked harsh considering Clark had only lost three of his previous 55 league matches to that point. Hoyle wanted promotion and got it, with Clark's replacement, Simon Grayson, delivering via the play-offs. One of Clark's last signings for Huddersfield was Kallum Higginbotham - a player he will be reunited with at Kilmarnock. Clark would graduate to the Championship with Birmingham City but it was a time of turmoil at the club. Twice he preserved their status in the division, albeit survival in the 2013-14 season was secured by the tightest of margins - an injury-time goal from former Celtic player Paul Caddis keeping them up on goal difference. But a poor start to the following season saw Clark sacked in October 2014. His last managerial stint was an unhappy one as he immediately moved to Blackpool, who were bottom of the Championship. Relegation followed and he resigned in May 2015. Rae thinks it would be wrong to read too much into this dismal spell at the Seasiders. "The one thing about working for Blackpool - I was there as well - it is a really tough, tough environment to work in," he said. "The downsizing in terms of the playing budget almost made it impossible to succeed there. I would not judge Lee on that last tenure." The Killie board clearly like what they see in Clark but he is entering an environment he has little experience of. The 43-year-old is joining a club where money is tight and this will present challenges. He will need to be resourceful to make changes. There is precious little breathing space at the foot of the Premiership and the stakes are high for a club that could certainly do without enduring the financial hardship relegation would bring. 'Big prospect' is a tag that has hung around Clark both as player and boss. That is no longer the case and there is a sense of unrealised potential. But there is clearly a hunger to succeed as well. Kilmarnock may not be a final throw of the dice for Clark but there are only so many chances for managers in a highly competitive marketplace. As a youngster Clark was an exciting talent with the club he loved, Newcastle United. He represented England at schoolboy and at under-21 level. He enjoyed a very successful career - twice finishing as a Premier League runner-up with the Magpies and also played in the top flight with Fulham. Lee McCulloch and Peter Leven are staying on as Killie coaches and Rae thinks Clark will rely heavily on his new Scottish lieutenants. "These boys know the personnel and also the division," explained Rae. "The one thing about Lee is he is a motivator. He gets his teams at it. I have played against his Huddersfield - excellent back in the day. He will bring a lot to the table."
Lee Clark is a name well known to fans in England but the new Kilmarnock boss is less familiar in Scotland.

Researchers believe achieving a healthier weight could cut the risk by a fifth in breast cancer. Around 3,200 women will take part, with half of them shifting a tenth of their body weight. Experts said the trials were vital as it was still unclear if weight made a difference. Dr Jennifer Ligibel, from the women's cancer centre at the Dana-Faber Cancer Institute, said: "We have known now for many years that women who are overweight or obese and are diagnosed with breast cancer have a higher risk of their cancer recurring and ultimately dying." She said this had been seen in more than 100 studies, though the explanation for it was unclear. She said preliminary evidence showed that losing weight after diagnosis could be helpful. But the idea has never been tested in a large randomised trial, considered the gold-standard of medical research. The two-year trial will start recruiting overweight and obese patients, with a BMI of at least 27, in August. After their cancer therapy is completed, the women will have regular advice from dieticians to help them reduce their calorie intake to 1,200-1,500 calories per day. Eventually, they will also exercise for up to 250 minutes a week. For every 100 women in the study who do not lose weight, they expect to see 23 have a recurrence of the tumour. If the researchers are right, then they expect only 19 in every 100 women who did shift the pounds to have a recurrence. Dr Ligibel added: "I think it would be premature to say we know these things make a difference and that's why studies are important. "I am quite convinced but I think we need the data to really prove it, but also to look at who benefits." It is far from clear what changes inside an obese body could be leading to cancer recurrence, but there are theories around levels of the hormone insulin or inflammation, both of which are altered with weight gain. If the concept is confirmed then it could apply to a wider range of cancers. Prostate and colorectal cancer incidence is already known to be closely connected to waistline, however, patients with tumours such as lung or skin cancers, which are linked to carcinogens, may not benefit. Dr Harold Burstein, an American Society of Clinical Oncology spokesman and breast cancer doctor, said there was "mixed evidence" on weight. He argued: "There is a tendency to overstate the benefit, as yet there's no real known benefit for these interventions - that's why they're doing the trials." "It's not clear that if you change your weight after a breast cancer diagnosis that it affects the breast cancer coming back. "Either because it doesn't matter, or the damage has already been done, or the tumour is what it is and does its thing regardless of what you're eating." Meanwhile, a study presented at ASCO has suggested chemotherapy is less effective in obese women with breast cancer. A team at a Turkish hospital analysed data from 295 patients to show obese women were both less likely to respond to treatment and more likely to see their cancer return.

Half of Welsh universities have seen an increase in the number of plagiarism cases being investigated in the past five years, figures have shown. The Quality Assurance Agency, which monitors standards in higher education, said it was discussing the issue with universities. It added the sites were not illegal. Figures obtained by BBC Wales Today showed the number of undergraduate students investigated for potential plagiarism in their coursework at Cardiff, Swansea, Aberystwyth and Cardiff Metropolitan universities more than doubled between 2010-11 and 2014-15. A gradual increase was also seen in the number of postgraduate cases at Swansea, Bangor and Aberystwyth. Other universities have seen the number of plagiarism cases vary during the same five-year period. It is believed that improvements in technology, greater student numbers and increasing university costs - which places extra pressure on students to succeed - have all contributed to the increase. Mary Paget, director of academic integrity at Swansea University, said: "Where we are talking about what you would call low-level plagiarism, we are always going to have naïve students with various personal issues and we are always going to have to deal with those. "I think what is more of a concern is the sheer number of bespoke essay writing sites - that is something which is causing a lot of universities concern." It is believed there are about 1,000 websites - or essay mills - which offer students a bespoke academic essay in return for a fee. One such website claimed that "papers will only be written by the most experienced and skilled writers who have excellent linguistic skills and impeccable grammar". And that "being a person of the same professional field, they write your paper just as you like it". The Quality Assurance Agency said: "Cheating and plagiarism has no place in UK higher education, and universities and colleges take their responsibilities in this area very seriously. "These companies offer students essays in return for payment. They are not illegal, and they generally issue disclaimers warning against plagiarism. "However, no matter how good policies and software are, it is difficult to detect whether tailored work has been written for a student by a third party such as an essay mill. We are now in the process of discussing this issue with partners in the higher education sector." There is also concern about how, in some cases, essay mills are targeting students on social media, as well as the financial implications for students who choose to use this type of service. Robiu Salisu, education officer at Swansea University's Students' Union, said: "They will give you a taster of the work and then they will say if you want the full thing you have to pay more and more money. It's not worth it. "It's not just to do with the repayment of the money for the commissioning either, because once you are found out you will faced with academic misconduct and that will jeopardise your future in higher education." It is understood that a paper was recently put before Swansea University's learning and teaching committee to ban these websites on campus. Other Welsh universities said they treat any form of academic misconduct very seriously and that they advise students on their academic regulations and continue to work to improve this process.

McCann is "delighted" with the seven new faces he has signed in recent weeks, but admits it has been tough. "Identifying guys has been hard as the club really doesn't have any recruitment system behind it," he said. "It's something I'll be speaking to our managing director, John Nelms, about because it's so important." Facing his first full season as Dundee boss, McCann says recruitment is "top of the list of priorities" for any manager and he is hoping to makes strides in that area ahead of the January transfer window. "We need help," he added. "We've been chasing our tails a bit this time. We need a database so that come January, if we want to strengthen, we have a list we can choose from rather than running about crazy 24 hours a day taking calls, looking on Wyscout, looking at games." Despite the difficulty, Dundee have managed to sign striker Sofien Moussa, midfielder Glen Kamara, defender Jack Hendry, winger Randy Wolters, midfielder Roarie Deacon and striker Rory Loy. Midfielder Scott Allan has also moved to Dens Park on a season-long loan from Celtic. "It's been a real team effort between the staff this summer," McCann said. "We've all mucked in and done our homework. "You wouldn't believe the number of hours that have been put into recruitment. It's been extensive. "I'm delighted with the guys we've brought in. They offer us something we didn't have. We have two different types now in a lot of key positions." McCann hopes recent recruit Moussa will receive clearance to complete his move before Tuesday's League Cup match away to Raith Rovers. Dundee were knocked out of the competition at the group stage last season and McCann, who took over in April and was named permanent manager in June, is determined to avoid a repeat. "I don't want to use these games as a warm-up," he said. "It's important that we start building a winning mentality from the first game of the season - starting on Tuesday. "I don't think you can go into the season half-cocked. "We will give every team we face the same respect we'd show Rangers or Celtic. We will be ready."
Dundee manager Neil McCann wants to improve the club's scouting network after a difficult summer of trying to bring in players.

Ronald Dickens, 47, followed a woman in her 20s into Newbold Road in Rugby in November 1985 before dragging her into a lane and raping her. The incident completely changed her life leaving her wondering for 30 years who assaulted her, police said. A cold case review using new DNA techniques led to the breakthrough. Warwickshire Police said its major crime review team identified Dickens, with help from forensic investigators, using techniques not available at the time of the crime. More updates on this and other stories in Coventry and Warwickshire Dickens, of Phipps Avenue, Rugby, admitted rape at at Coventry Crown Court on Monday. Det Sgt Paul Thompson said: "Ronald Dickens subjected the victim to a horrific attack which has altered the course of her life. "This incident completely changed her life and she has been looking over her shoulder for the past 30 years not knowing who assaulted her. He also urged anyone else who has been a victim of a sexual offence to come forward to police to report it.
A man has been jailed for eight years for the brutal rape of a woman in 1985, thanks to advances in DNA and forensic investigations, police say.

The newly-designed form, used to apply for a divorce in England and Wales, asks for the name "of the person your spouse has committed adultery with". Family lawyers say that, in most cases, involving a third party adds "conflict and complexity". The Ministry of Justice said there was "no obligation" to name people. Lawyer Margaret Heathcote, vice-chairwoman of family law group Resolution, is one of those concerned about the form. "Generally speaking, we don't name the third party. It increases the conflict from day one," she said. "There's no need. But because the box is there, the indication will be to fill it in." The online form has been updated to make the legal process more user-friendly - especially as some complete the process without seeking legal advice. The guidance on the form highlights that it is "not normally necessary" to name the person your spouse committed adultery with. But Georgina Hamblin, director at divorce lawyers, Vardags, said people are "unlikely to read the much smaller print or choose to ignore it". The older version of the form left a space for so-called "co-respondents" to be named where appropriate. "The new form flatly asks for 'the name of the person your spouse has committed adultery with'," Ms Hamblin explained. "This is an invitation which I fear most broken hearts will not be able to refuse." If you name the person your husband or wife committed adultery with, they become part of the court case. They will be sent copies of the paperwork and given a chance to respond. If they don't respond, proceedings may be delayed and could incur more costs. According to the latest statistics, there were just over 100,000 divorces granted in England and Wales in 2015. Adultery was the reason for 12,148 of them. "Unreasonable behaviour" accounted for 46,815. Ms Hamblin said 80% of the new clients she deals with in matters of adultery "want to get the new partner involved and to have their chance to say what they think of them". "But it puts the petitioner in a bad light. We have to talk clients down from doing that," she said. "Judges take a very dim view of petitioners trying to bring in new partners and embroil them in proceedings." When you apply for a divorce you must prove your marriage has broken down and give one of the following reasons: Source: Gov.UK A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "It has always been possible for a petitioner to name the person they believe their spouse has committed adultery with on divorce application forms. "As set out in the previous form, and more clearly in the new form, there is obviously no obligation to do so. This is a relevant part of divorce proceedings."
The government's new divorce form - which invites the writer to "name and shame" - could lead to more people being accused of adultery, lawyers say.

A spokesperson said it had taken the move because the post violates Facebook's community standards. It comes after a series of paramilitary-style attacks in the Turf Lodge area. The PSNI said they were not linking the post to recent shootings at this stage. Police said such paramilitary style attacks in west Belfast had doubled in 2016 compared to 2015. The police figures do not take into account the Turf Lodge shootings. Speaking on the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme, before the post was removed, Sinn Féin MLA, Pat Sheehan, said that some people on the list had already been shot. Mr Sheehan said the name of the 26-year-old, who was shot in both legs on Tuesday night, was on the list. "My understanding is that this man's name has appeared on a list on social media, a list that contains eight names and photographs of people," he said. Mr Sheehan added that the list accuses people of so-called joy riding. There have been a number of shootings since the beginning of the year. Mr Sheehan said: "A number of people on this list have already been shot and it's my understanding that police have begun to visit others whose names are on this list to warn them about their security. He said the community did not believe there was a drugs link to the attacks. "The people who have been shot, and I exclude the couple from last week, mostly have been involved in anti-social behaviour and petty crime. "It's a well-known fact that these people who are carrying out the shootings actually tax drug dealers and if these people pay up their tax, they aren't being shot. "The community is having to deal with the fall-out of all of this," he added. West Belfast People Before Profit MLA, Gerry Carroll, said he was "deeply concerned" that an "apparent hit list" of people had been published on social media, with three of those on the list being the victims of recent punishment shootings. "So-called punishment shootings are inherently undemocratic, inhumane and wrong," he said. "Nobody in west Belfast selected the individuals who compiled this list as their judge, jury and executioner. This is a community that understands the effects of repression and injustice. "People don't want an even more repressive 'punishment' system foisted upon them without their say."
Facebook has confirmed that it has removed a post on its site which included names and photographs of people accused of anti-social behaviour in west Belfast.

Tensions remain between the ruling Frelimo party and the opposition former rebel movement Renamo and corruption has become a major concern. The discovery of gas fields off Mozambique's coast in 2011 is set to transform the economy of one of Africa's poorest nations. But despite recent economic growth, more than half of Mozambique's 24 million people continue to live below the poverty line.

Two months later he succeeded former president Armando Guebuza as party leader, representing a change in guard in Frelimo which has dominated politics in Mozambique since it won independence from Portugal in 1975. During his election campaign, Mr Nyusi pledged to transform Mozambique, one of Africa's poorest nations. He now presides over a country on the cusp of tapping newly discovered offshore gas fields, set to transform Mozambique's economy. Television is the most popular medium in Mozambique. State-run radio and private FM stations operate alongside dozens of government and Unesco-funded community radio and TV stations. Print media have little influence given the high levels of illiteracy. Press freedom is legally protected but according to a 2105 report by US-based Freedom House, many journalists practice self-censorship. Some key dates in Mozambique's history: 1752 - Portugal colonizes Mozambique. 1891 - Portugal hands over the administration of the region to the Mozambique Company, a private business. 1962-74 Independence struggle: Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo) formed. 1975 - Independence: Frelimo rules under single-party system with leader Samora Machel as president. 1976-92 - Civil war. 1986 - President Machel is killed in an air crash, Joachim Chissano installed as president. 1990 - Constitution amended allowing multi-party system. 1992 - UN-brokered peace deal ends fighting between Frelimo and the rebel Mozambique National Resistance (Renamo). 1994 - First multi-party elections, Joachim Chissano is re-elected president. 2004 - President Joaquim Chissano steps down after 18 years in office, succeeded by Armando Guebuza. 2011 - Discovery of natural gas set to transform Mozambique's economic landscape. 2015 - Mozambique declares itself free of landmines, a legacy of the civil war.
Mozambique, which gained independence from Portugal in 1975, is still suffering from the effects of a 16-year civil war that ended in 1992.

Barnsley's Ryan Kent almost caught keeper Chris Maxwell out at the near post with an inswinging corner. Striker Jordan Hugill pulled Preston's best first-half effort just wide from a tight angle from Paul Gallagher's pass. Tom Bradshaw had an effort blocked on the line for Barnsley and Adam Davies clawed away Hugill's header in added time to deny Preston a winner. Barnsley dropped a place to ninth, but only four points behind Sheffield Wednesday in sixth, while Simon Grayson's Preston also slipped one to 11th, three points further back. The home side gave a debut to loan signing Callum Elder at left-back, with Alex Mowatt suspended after being sent off against Wolves, while Preston recalled 6ft 6in Simon Makienok to spearhead their attack. An early header apart, Makienok was well marshalled by Marc Roberts and Angus MacDonald, and was eventually replaced by Jermaine Beckford. Bradshaw was denied by a defender on the line after sliding in to meet Kent's cross, but Davies pushing away Hugill's header as it flew towards the top corner was as close as either side came to breaking the deadlock thereafter in a game of few clear-cut opportunities. Barnsley head coach Paul Heckingbottom: "I was pleased with how we coped with their threats but I didn't feel that we did enough to win the game. "There were not enough crosses into the box, not enough efforts on goal. "I said at half-time I was conscious that I didn't want Preston to grind us down, because the team they picked and the message from Simon (Grayson) at the start of the game was that he wanted a tougher, more aggressive performance. "I don't even speak about the top six. It is about winning the next game, so it has not even entered my head. Preston boss Simon Grayson: "There are plenty of games still to go and there will be so many twists and turns from now until the end of the season. "We have aspirations to try and get there (the play-offs), but obviously we will need to turn these draws into wins if we are going to make up the ground on teams that are up there already.

Former Milan station chief Robert Lady had been released and had boarded a US-bound flight, said American officials. Lady was sentenced to nine years in jail for his involvement in the 2003 abduction of the man - an Egyptian cleric - in Milan. The cleric, known as Abu Omar, was allegedly flown to Egypt and tortured. In 2009, Lady was convicted in absentia with 22 other Americans for their role in his "extraordinary rendition". He was reportedly arrested on Wednesday near Panama's border with Costa Rica. According to Italian media reports, an international search warrant for Lady was sought by the justice minister in Italy's previous government in December 2012. The Milan trial was the first involving extraordinary rendition, the CIA's practice of transferring suspects to countries where torture is permitted. The practice has been condemned by human rights groups as a violation of international agreements. Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, also known as Abu Omar, was considered a terrorism suspect by the US. He was abducted on a Milan street in February 2003 and transferred between US military bases in Italy and Germany before being brought to Egypt. Twenty-two CIA agents, including Lady and an air force pilot, were convicted in 2009 of abducting the cleric. Their sentences were upheld last year by Italy's highest appeals court. Three more Americans, including CIA Rome station chief Jeffrey Castelli, were convicted by an appeals court in February. None of the 26 convicted has ever appeared in an Italian court, and only two have had any contact with their lawyers. Lady reportedly rushed back to the US in 2007, when court hearings began in Milan to decide whether to put the 23 Americans on trial. He said he had opposed the proposal to kidnap the imam, but was overruled. Italy had previously said Lady was the only one of the 23 Americans that could be extradited, given the length of his sentence.
An ex-CIA station chief held in Panama after being convicted in Italy over the kidnap of a terror suspect is '"en route" to the US, officials say.

No 10 said: "We don't accept threats have been made." It is understood spokesman Craig Oliver phoned the Daily Telegraph's editor after his paper wrote a story about Maria Miller's expense claims. He reportedly told him the story was poorly timed. Mr Oliver is alleged, by the Daily Telegraph, to have told the editor, Tony Gallagher, that Mrs Miller was "looking at Leveson at the moment". Twenty-four hours earlier, Mrs Miller's special adviser Joanna Hindley called the reporter working on the story to "flag up" the culture secretary's role in drawing up new press regulation rules, following Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry into media ethics. A No 10 spokesman defended Mr Oliver's intervention and rejected suggestions he - or Mrs Miller's adviser - were seeking to influence the paper against pursuing the story. They said Mr Oliver was simply raising "concerns" with the newspaper about the way the story was being pursued and the fact Mrs Miller's "elderly father had been door-stepped" by a reporter. The spokesman added: "The secretary of state had some concerns about the way that investigation was being conducted and Craig Oliver was simply reflecting those concerns." Labour MP John Mann has written to John Lyon, Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, after it emerged Mrs Miller had allowed her parents to live at a property on which she claimed £90,718 in second home allowances during the last parliament. Mrs Miller has said her expenses were "absolutely in order" and "in complete accordance with the rules". Her parents, John and June Lewis, have apparently been living at the property since selling their home in Wales in 1996. According to the Telegraph, Miss Hindley told its reporter: "Maria has obviously been having quite a lot of editors' meetings around Leveson at the moment. So I am just going to kind of flag up that connection for you to think about." Brian Cathcart, executive director of Hacked Off, which is campaigning for the setting up of an independent press regulator via a change in the law, said: "This story illustrates exactly why ministers must be kept at arm's length from the regulation of the press. "It cannot be right that politicians who are subject to the scrutiny of the newspapers and who are constantly vulnerable to public challenge in this way are sitting down with editors and proprietors of those same newspapers to design a press regulation system." A Department for Culture, Media and Sport spokesman said: "Mrs Miller's special adviser raised concerns with a journalist about the nature of an approach to Mrs Miller's elderly father. Her adviser noted that Mrs Miller was in regular contact with the paper's editor and would raise her concerns directly with him, which Mrs Miller did subsequently. "However, this is a separate issue to ongoing discussions about press regulation. Mrs Miller has made the government's position on this clear."
Downing Street has denied that the PM's spokesman warned a newspaper against running a critical story on the culture secretary's expenses because of her role in enacting the Leveson proposals.

Topps' products include Star Wars, Disney's Frozen, Top Gear and the UEFA champion league. The New York firm told the BBC that the vulnerability had since been fixed. But a security researcher said he had previously warned the firm about security weaknesses. Topps declined to say how many people were affected or why the payment card numbers were at risk. In most hack attacks, companies assure users that they do not store such financial data in a form that can be exposed. In an email to customers Topps wrote that on 12 October "one or more intruders gained unauthorised access" to its systems. "[They] may have gained access to names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, credit or debit card numbers, card expiration dates and card verification numbers for customers [who made purchases] between approximately 30 July 2016 and 12 October 2016," it added. It is offering one year's worth of free identify theft protection to those affected. Various customers have posted the email on social media and it is also available on the Sports Collectors Daily website. Topps is part-owned by a fund belonging to Michael Eisner, the former chief executive of Disney. "The really unforgivable aspect here is the loss of credit card details," said cyber-security expert Prof Alan Woodward from Surrey University. "If this was an external attack, these details just should not be accessible or readable. An obvious question is, was the customers financial data encrypted? "If not that should attract some heavy attention from the appropriate regulators." Chris Vickery, a security researcher from Chromatech blogged in June about exposed databases of customer accounts with three of Topps' mobile apps: Bunt, Huddle, and Kick. He wrote that it was fixed. However, he later found another database containing information about the users of all three apps, and on this occasion was unable to get a response from the firm. "I can't in good conscience watch this data continue to leak without at least trying to get a warning out," he said at the time.
The maker of iconic collectable trading cards has said hackers could have stolen customers' credit and debit card numbers along with their associated security codes in a recent breach.

The move comes after ID Systems secured a number of long-term projects, including off-site manufacturing of wastewater pumping stations and water booster sets. The loan and equity backing from UKSE will help fund ID System's growth strategy. A new senior management team will be created which, along with UKSE, will have a shareholding in the company. ID Systems finance director Stuart Devine said: "We had a tremendous opportunity to more than double the workforce with the recent contract win and this funding from UKSE will allow us to make that happen as smoothly as possible."

Chris Farlowe gave a one-off performance of his 1966 hit Out of Time - which was number one in the charts half a century ago. The audience heard fans' memories of that July Saturday, including stories of weddings where men wore earpieces connected to radios so they could listen to the commentary. The match ended with Alf Ramsey's England side beating West Germany 4-2 in extra time. It was a day when the names of Banks, Cohen, Wilson, Charlton J, Moore, Ball, Stiles, Peters, Charlton R, Hunt and Hurst earned their place in football history. The hashtag #worldcup1966 is trending on Twitter, and the Foreign Office has tweeted to say the UK's ambassador to Azerbaijan has met the family of Tofiq Bahramov - the Azerbaijani linesman who awarded Sir Geoff's second goal. But a tweet from actor Gary Kemp shows not everyone was paying close attention at the time. "Six years old and bored of my family watching the match I went out on my own to the empty park and sat on a swing. #worldcup1966," he tweeted. 1966 World Cup: England's tournament behind the scenes How Africa boycotted the 1966 World Cup Sir Geoff Hurst's 1966 England World Cup final shirt goes unsold Bobby Moore and Alan Ball have since died, in 1993 and 2007 respectively.

She had come prepared to own up to her mistakes, apologising to the gathered throng just as a few hours earlier she had apologised to the cabinet. It had been her decision to call the election, and her leadership of the campaign that faltered and in what was described as the most human performance they had seen for quite some time, Theresa May said sorry, time and again. "We saw the human being, not the Maybot"; "it was the first time in seven weeks she didn't say strong and stable"; more poignantly for the Tories MPs who commiserated with each other, "if she'd campaigned like that, we'd have won". They were cheered, relieved perhaps, that she had, tonight, managed to pull it off, to show regret at the calamity her decision to go to the country had unleashed, relieved too that she rose to this particular occasion that seems likely to settle nerves enough to avoid the possibility of the party plunging into another leadership election and potentially therefore, another general election that they might lose. The sense of immediate danger to her leadership has faded. But while her enemies are not breathing down her neck, they are still in the room. One MP told me she wasn't asked any hard questions but deliberately took the time to take all of them, to show willing, "her strategy has been to take as many questions as exist". It's like that episode of the West Wing where the Presidential Candidate Vinick was in deep trouble, so he took endless questions until the press finally got tired and went home - apologies if the American series isn't your thing, but it's an obsession of rather a lot of Westminster types. While publicly it is tonight the done thing for Tories to be fulsomely on the record praising the prime minister, privately it's hard to find a single MP who believes that she will take the party into the next general election. PM survives first bout of battle for control It is, however, also very hard to find a single MP who wants to unleash even more potential chaos by triggering an election contest, let alone a general election. But it's the circumstances, rather than newly discovered rapture, for the PM that have saved her. One former cabinet minister told me "having a Tory prime minister is much more important than our own wound licking". Another minister told me in the medium term it is "hard to see how" the PM can stay. Theresa May has survived the first bout of what will be a fight to stay in control. The election has redressed the balance, not just between the two main parties, but also between the Tory leader and her party. And the PM knows it, most tellingly also saying to her MPs tonight, "I'll serve as long as you want me". Hardly a bold statement of a leader who feels they are in charge, but an acknowledgement that others will decide when their time is up.
In the slightly sweaty committee corridor outside the meeting of Tory MPs tonight, MPs were queuing to praise the prime minister.

Three first-half goals in the space of 10 minutes sentenced the O's to a fourth successive defeat as Crawley tasted victory for the first time in seven matches. Orient edged the opening exchanges but lost defender Tom Parkes through injury before Steven Alzate was denied on the edge of the area by keeper Glenn Morris. Crawley had failed to score in their previous three home games but leading marksman James Collins swooped to give them the lead with his 20th goal of the season midway through the half. The former Shrewsbury striker struck by heading in a free-kick from Josh Payne and, although keeper Sam Sargeant got a hand to the ball, it flew into the corner of the net. Crawley took a firm grip of the game by scoring twice in the space of four minutes before the interval. Defender Joe McNerney rose unchallenged to head home a Payne free-kick from 12 yards on 29 minutes and then, from an Andre Blackman set-piece, Dutch midfielder Enzio Boldewijn forced the ball home. Crawley, who had won only two of their previous 13 games, threatened again when a header from skipper Jimmy Smith was saved by Sargeant shortly after the break. Boldewijn, after earlier firing wide from 25 yards, should have increased the lead when putting the ball wastefully wide from a pass by Collins. Match support supplied by the Press Association.

The discovery was made by a man who was carrying out gardening work at his home in Killakee, Firhouse. He reported the find to officers on Tuesday evening. A police spokesman said a preliminary examination indicated it may have been in the ground for "up to 70 years". They said they believed it was the skull of an adult aged between 18 and 40. The scene has been cordoned off for examination by the state pathologist and a forensic anthropologist. DNA testing is to be carried out in a bid to establish the identity of the remains. Gardaí said they will review missing person records as part of their inquiry. However, they added that no link to any missing person had been made "at this early stage of the investigation".

"[President Barack] Obama must now start focusing on OUR COUNTRY, jobs, healthcare and all of our many problems," he tweeted. "Forget Syria and make America great again!" Two years ago Mr Trump built a winning presidential campaign around this very theme, sharply criticising Democrats and some fellow Republicans for what he viewed as their overly interventionist foreign policies. Just a week ago Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appeared to be following this new script when he downplayed calls for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's removal, saying his status "will be decided by the Syrian people". Then on Thursday night, two days after another chemical weapons attack, President Donald Trump ordered a guided missile strike on a Syrian government airfield. The move marks a dramatic turnaround from Mr Trump's prior rhetoric and the expectations of how he would conduct his foreign policy. In his remarks following the missile strike, the president explained that it was in the "vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons". He even called on "civilised nations" to end the "bloodshed and slaughter" of the Syrian civil war and insisted that "peace and harmony" will prevail. The man who was thought to be a neo-isolationist now, just months into his presidency, is projecting US military force abroad to enforce international norms and punish human rights abuses. What changed? It seems clear that the graphic images of dead and dying Syrian civilians - including "beautiful babies", in Mr Trump's words - had a dramatic effect on the president's disposition. With a few notable exceptions, the strike is being praised by Washington politicians on the left and on the right. In the coming days, however, some serious questions will be posed. If the president's foreign policy outlook can shift so dramatically in just a few days, if not hours, will allies and adversaries interpret this as a sign of flexibility or incoherence? A cruise missile strike is a low-risk form of military action, but it also is of limited effectiveness. A White House official described this as a warning shot across Mr Assad's bow. If the Syrian president continues to use chemical weapons or conduct conventional attacks that result in significant civilian casualties, will the US escalate its military intervention or back down and risk appearing weak? When Mr Obama contemplated using force against the Syrian government, he decided that he would need congressional authorisation to do so. Will Mr Trump now seek approval from the lawmakers, on both sides of the aisle, who were reluctant to give the Democratic president such approval? Thursday night was Mr Trump's first significant foreign policy challenge, and it appears to have dramatically changed his outlook, his rhetoric and his resulting actions. The candidate who constantly spoke of putting America first ended his brief remarks on Thursday night by calling for God's blessings not just for his nation but for the "entire world". This strike - and this change of attitude - may simply be a one-off event. Or, perhaps, an unlikely globalist has been born.
Four years ago, after the Syrian government launched a brutal chemical attack on its own civilians, Donald Trump warned anyone who would listen that the US should refrain from launching retaliatory military strikes.

The 17th Century miniature painting of Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury, was painted in watercolour on vellum by Isaac Oliver. It will be restored before going back on display as the star attraction at Powis Castle, near Welshpool. It was bought for £2.1m by the National Trust with help from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and Art Fund. The artwork shows Herbert, who was a poet, socialite and philosopher, with his head resting on his hand as he lies stretched out along the banks of a stream running through a forest. He bears a shield with a burning heart and the painting is said to reflect his life as a chivalrous romantic. The painting was put up for sale on behalf of a private owner but was secured by the National Trust with the help of donations. Painted by royal miniaturist Isaac Oliver between 1602 and 1617, it measures 23cm by 19cm (9in by 7in) and is mounted on oak board in a contemporary 17th Century tortoiseshell and ebony frame. Justin Albert, National Trust Director for Wales, said the charity was proud to retain the "incredible" painting, which was of Welsh, British and European importance. He said the painting was fragile and would be restored before possibly being loaned to museums ahead of returning to Powis Castle.

But the message may take some time to reach India. The country had a lone shining moment with Girisha Hosanagara Nagarajegowda's silver medal in Men's High Jump F42 class for athletes with an impairment that affects their arms or legs. And deservedly the nation cherished Girisha's feat as medals have generally eluded India's Paralympians. But now questions are being raised at the country's ability to translate the congratulatory tone into awareness of disabled rights. India is not known for being friendly towards the disabled and most public places still lack basic facilities to help them in everyday life.  'Second-class' citizens Even before Girisha won his medal, Indian media was abuzz with stories about problems at the Athletes' Village. Several athletes complained that the Paralympics Committee of India had failed to book accommodation for escorts and coaches at the facility. This made the lives of the athletes very tough as they were denied precious time with their coaches. Taking to CNN-IBN, weightlifter Farman Basha said his preparation was severely affected because he could not move freely in the village without his escort. "I was confident of a medal and now all my training has gone in vain," he said. The channel's editor, Rajdeep Sardesai, ran a special show to discuss whether India treats its Paralympians as second-class citizens. Many other channels and newspapers followed suit. It's an irony that the controversy received more coverage than the Games themselves. India may have won just one medal, but the Games were full of inspiring stories. The media seems to have clearly missed a chance to tell these stories to Indians in detail.  Speaking on the CNN-IBN show, Olympic silver medallist Rajyawardhan Singh Rathod said he was not surprised with the treatment of India's Paralympians. He said much needs to be changed to give equal rights to Paralympians and millions of disabled people in India. "It's an over-all attitude shift that we need to bring about in our country," he said. There is another thread to the story that the India media seems to have missed. The Indian contingent at the Paralympics did not have a single female athlete. While officials say this boils down to qualification woes, the problem runs much deeper. Most schools and colleges lack basic sporting facilities for the disabled and the ones which do rarely encourage disabled women to participate.  While stories about the controversy continue to make headlines, nobody can take anything away from Girisha. The athlete certainly fought against the odds to make sure India did not return home from London empty handed. He hails from the south Indian state of Karnataka and belongs to an average middle class family. But his determination to win a medal set him apart from others. His training in Bangalore took place away from the glare of the media and fan recognition. With support from an NGO and government, Girisha quit his bank job six months ago to concentrate on training. Today the result is there for everyone to see. And he hopes that his achievement will transcend the boundaries of sporting achievement and change the attitude of people towards disabled in India.

Blackwell retired from boxing after he suffered bleeding on his skull and was put in an induced coma in a loss to Eubank in March. Eubank Jr will be defending his British middleweight title for the first time. "I'm not going to let a situation like what happened in my last fight affect my future performances," he said. The fight against unbeaten Doran, 28, is on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's IBF heavyweight title defence against Dominic Breazeale at London's O2 Arena. Blackwell woke from his coma a week after the fight, which was stopped in the 10th round, without requiring an operation. Eubank Sr, who was a two-time world champion in the 1990s, admitted he lost his killer instinct after the 1991 rematch with Michael Watson that left the latter with near-fatal brain injuries. But Eubank Jr, 26, said that would not happen to him as he and his father are "two different men". He added: "Something like that might affect someone's fighting style and mindset. For me, I've used it to fuel myself even more. "I'm in there to win, defend myself and attack, and to further my career, so there is no mercy. "It's the referee's job. It's not for me to have to say I should ease up."

Guineans are expected to celebrate the landmark with concerts and fireworks. The disease killed more than 2,500 people in the country and a further 9,000 in Sierra Leone and Liberia. Sierra Leone was declared free of Ebola in November, but new cases have emerged in Liberia, which had been declared Ebola-free in September. A country is considered free of human-to-human transmission once two 21-day incubation periods have passed since the last known case tested negative for a second time. The disease has had an enormous social and economic impact on Guinea, the BBC's Ibrahima Diane in Conakry says. According to the UN, 6,220 Guinean children have lost one or both parents to Ebola. More than 100 health workers also lost their lives in the fight against the disease. Meanwhile, survivors are still living in fear of the stigma and long-term side effects associated with the virus, our correspondent adds. The fight against Ebola was particularly difficult in Guinea, he says. Some communities initially did not believe there was an epidemic, while others blamed it on Western countries and the Guinean authorities. The government has blamed the virus for poor economic performance and says it has also caused people to distrust the country's health services. President Alpha Conde has doubled the health budget since winning re-election in November.
Guinea is to be declared free of Ebola by the World Health Organization (WHO), two years after the epidemic began there.

The £21.5m Castle Mill development at Port Meadow, by the River Thames, has been widely criticised as ugly and spoiling the view of Oxford's skyline. The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) will put its case to a High Court judge on 23 October. The five-storey university blocks provide 439 accommodation units. The flats overlook a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. CPRE is seeking the judicial review on the basis of Oxford City Council not carrying out an environmental impact assessment. The council has said the challenge was late as the housing had already been built, and it believed the group's claims were unfounded. Helen Marshall, director of CPRE Oxfordshire, said the West Area Planning Committee "should under no circumstances be rushed into making further poor decisions". "We are not yet convinced that the planning condition on contamination has been met," she added. "And the mitigation proposals currently suggested by the university are woefully inadequate to counteract the devastating impact of the buildings on Port Meadow and Oxford's historic skyline. "A few trees growing to approximately half the height of the buildings in 15 years' time will not meet the brief of 'hiding the buildings in summer and softening their impact in winter' "Key issues such as the height of the buildings and light pollution still need to be addressed." A University of Oxford spokesman said it had "thought carefully" about how best to mitigate the impact of the buildings. "Some measures have already been put in place, and discussions with the city council and others are ongoing about what more we can do," he added. "The University will be making representations at the interim hearing in October on the procedural issues raised by the challenge. "In the meantime, we intend to finish and occupy the buildings by the start of the next academic year in October as planned." The city council said last month it was carrying out an independent review into the case. An online petition against the development on Roger Dudman Way has attracted more than 3,000 signatures.

Steven Walters, 48, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault at Stafford Crown Court in September. Chief Constable David Thompson said the case represented "one of the worst violations of policing integrity I've ever seen". Walters was also found guilty of gross misconduct at a disciplinary hearing on Monday and dismissed from the force. More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country The crimes took place between February and April 2015. Walters, who was based at Sutton Coldfield, approached a woman in her 20s, who he offered a lift home in his patrol car in the early hours. After a colleague asked the woman "what she was doing at that time of night in that dress", Walters placed his hand on her thigh when she was in the car, leaving the victim feeling "creeped out". In the second assault, the court heard he touched the victim under her skirt in her own home while her children were in other rooms. He attempted to kiss her face and neck, and also asked to be taken to a bedroom. Sentencing, Judge Paul Glenn said Walters had shown no remorse, adding: "The public are entitled to have faith in police officers and to trust them in the discharge of their powers and responsibilities. "You exploited that trust and you have brought disgrace on yourself and indeed the force you served." Derrick Campbell, from the Independent Police Complaints Commission, praised the victims for their "courage and bravery" in reporting his crimes. "[Walters] completely abused his position of trust by targeting and taking advantage of vulnerable women for his own sexual gratification," he said.

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

The International Bomber Command Centre is being built in Lincolnshire, which became known as Bomber County in the war because it had so many RAF bases. The centre is due to open in 2016 but a memorial spire has already been erected at the site in Lincoln. Organisers want to invite every veteran to the unveiling on 2 October. They already have names of 900 veterans but believe there are more still to be identified. Nicky Barr from the International Bomber Command Centre says they have made some new contacts. "A lot of the veterans that we've now been able to invite weren't on any comprehensive database or squadron lists," she said. "We've picked up thus far about 50 that come under that category. We suspect that there's probably, at an estimate, another 100 out there." The spire stands higher than the Angel of North and will be surrounded by a "wall of names" recording the 55,573 men who lost their lives serving in Bomber Command. Other elements of the centre will include an exhibition and education space called the Chadwick Centre, an amphitheatre and acres of landscaped gardens. Anyone knowing of any Bomber Command veteran is urged to register their names by emailing events@internationalbcc.co.uk or writing to The IBCC, 13 Cherry Holt Road, Bourne, Lincolnshire, PE10 9LA.
Every living veteran who served in Bomber Command during World War Two is being sought for the unveiling of a new memorial.

Exports of the fish jumped more than 53% by value to £408m, the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) said. UK food and drink exports rose 8.5% to £10.2bn, helped by the fall in the pound after last year's Brexit vote. But the FDF warned that without a favourable Brexit trade deal, British exports could become less competitive. Whisky remained the top export, while salmon was second, and beer rose to third, overtaking chocolate. But while the volume of salmon exports rose by 24%, whisky exports actually fell 1% by volume, and beer exports fell 2.2%. The pound has fallen sharply against the dollar and euro since the UK voted to leave the EU in June last year, giving a boost to UK exports, as they have become relatively cheaper. However, the weaker pound has also pushed up costs for British businesses that bring in food and raw materials from abroad, the FDF said. It said the UK's food and drink trade deficit - the difference between how much the UK imports and exports - widened 16% to £12.4bn over the period. British salmon is becoming more popular globally, according to Andy Bing, sales director of Loch Duart Salmon in North West Scotland. "This half we've sold more than we ever have," he said, adding that the firm's main export markets were France, the US, Italy, and Switzerland. UK salmon exports have grown after Chilean producers suffered problems in 2015 with algal blooms that killed a large amount of their fish, he said. Looking ahead, the firm is optimistic about the eventual post-Brexit trade deals that can be struck with EU countries. "Europe needs lovely Scottish salmon just as we need lovely French wine and wonderful German cars," he said. However, he added that Loch Duart was "finding it difficult to plan without better guidance" from the government about Brexit. The two biggest importers of UK food and drink are Ireland and France. If there is no deal and World Trade Organization (WTO) tariffs with the EU are brought in, "food and drink would face significantly higher tariffs than most other products," an FDF spokesman said. For example, some fruit and vegetables would face tariffs of 157%, and for some drinks products, importers would have to pay 152% tariffs. Goods "could face lengthy delays at border for checks and inspections that would add delays and cost to products, particularly those with short shelf lives," the spokesman added. However, the free market think tank, the Institute for Economic Affairs, said it would not be a "disaster" if the UK failed to strike a deal with the EU. Jamie Whyte, IEA research director, said: "In fact, we could unilaterally eliminate all import tariffs, which would give us most of the benefits of trade and export to the EU under the umbrella of the WTO rules." A UK government spokesman said it wanted to reach a deal with the EU "allowing for the most frictionless trade including in food and drink as possible". Source HM Customs and Excise In the first half of the year, UK food and drink exports rose faster to EU countries, up 9%, than to countries outside the EU, with growth of 7.6%. But the market which saw the most growth in the first half was South Korea, up 77%, in the main due to beer exports. Food Minister George Eustice said: "We have ambitious plans to produce and export more of our fabulous foods around the world and more businesses are trying exporting for the first time. "Last week we announced further market access to China for pork producers and UK beef will soon be heading to the Philippines. We will continue to work with industry to open new opportunities."
Sales of British salmon helped the UK to export a record value of food and drink in the first half of the year, according to industry figures.

Iran international Ghoochannejhad, 28, scored five goals in 42 appearances after joining the Addicks in 2014. Former Juventus defender Motta, 30, featured 12 times following his move to The Valley in February. Marko Dmitrovic, Alou Diarra and Callum Harriott have triggered one-year extensions to their current deals. Meanwhile, the south-east London club have offered a new contract to 20-year-old goalkeeper Dillon Phillips. Development squad players Zak Ansah, Alex Kelly, Ayo Obileye, Josh Staunton and Joe Pigott will also leave Charlton, who finished 22nd in the Championship this season and dropped back into League One following four years in the second tier. Jose Riga left his position of head coach following the final game of the season and the Addicks are yet to appoint a new boss. Northampton's Chris Wilder was approached to succeed the Belgian but turned the job down and joined Sheffield United instead.

The Boomtown Rats were to headline the event in Dumfries along with Rick Astley, ABC, The Stars from The Commitments and The Rezillos on 4 June. Last year the Doonhamers hosted their first concert when Status Quo were the headline act. However, advanced ticket sales of just 700 compared with 5,000 sold in 2015 prompted the decision to cancel. Organisers said sales were "not sufficient to justify the event going ahead on a commercial basis". "We have not been helped with the number of alternative outdoor festivals and concerts across Scotland and the north of England," they said. "After weighing up additional costs to go ahead with the concert from this point against the costs of cancelling altogether it was unfortunately a decision that had to be taken. "Clearly all customers who have already bought and paid for tickets for the event will be refunded in full."

The unemployment rate last month was 4.3%, falling a 10th of a percentage point to its lowest level since 2001, the US Labor Department said on Friday. But payrolls increased by just 138,000. Economists had expected growth of more than 180,000. Official job creation figures for March and April were also revised down. The jobs report is a closely watched barometer of the US economy and one of the metrics the US central bank considers as it sets interest rates. A number of reports have shown that US growth in the first quarter was weak. Federal Reserve officials have said they are monitoring the figures, but believe the slowdown is temporary. Some slowdown in job creation has been expected, as the labour market heads deeper into one of the longest expansions in US history. But the 138,000 jobs added in May marked a sharp deceleration from the average monthly gain of 181,000 over the previous 12 months. Trump: A New Economic Policy for the US? Is the US economic recovery stuck in a rut? Job creation kept pace with population growth in May, but it was not what financial markets were expecting, said Paul Diggle, senior economist at Aberdeen Asset Management. "Today's numbers probably won't stop the Fed from raising rates next week. But they might well influence what happens next," he said. "If wage growth doesn't improve, the Fed is going to want to soften its stance on how many rate rises are to come this year and next." Private sector employers added 147,000 jobs over the month, led by the professional and business services, health care, and leisure and hospitality sectors. Construction and mining payrolls also rose. But losses in the retail sector continued, with payrolls falling by 6,100 over the month. Government was also a drag on job creation, with 9,000 fewer positions. Employment in manufacturing also dipped. The decline in the unemployment rate came as the number of people outside the labour force - neither working nor looking for work - increased in May. The labour force participation rate was 62.7%, retreating from earlier this year. The revisions to March and April, which come as the Labor Department receives more detailed information, also meant there were about 66,000 fewer gains over the two months than previously reported. Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services, called Friday's report "disappointing". He said some of the slowdown came as some employers had trouble finding workers with the right skills. Wages are up, but not as much as might be expected, he added. Average hourly earnings were $26.22 last month, rising 2.5% over the year. But economists at Moody's Analytics said the soft jobs number in May might omit summer hiring that occurred later in in the month. They wrote that they expected to see future gains, even if the overall pace of expansion slows. "Because of the peculiarities inherent in the May report, we are minimising its importance," they wrote. "There are few risks on the horizon that suggest that the economy is at risk of downturn."
US employers added fewer jobs than expected in May, but the unemployment rate dipped further as the economy headed toward full employment.

The winger ran from his own half to score a dramatic counter-attack goal. Lionel Ainsworth's scooped shot evaded goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams and his defence to give Motherwell the lead. Iain Vigurs converted a penalty to bring Inverness level after Keith Lasley's foul on Ross Draper but Johnson would have the last word. Mark McGhee's Well - who move above St Johnstone into fourth - will be assured of a top-half place after the league splits in two later this month if Partick Thistle fail to beat Dundee United on Tuesday. Both sides came into the game in the Highlands off the back of impressive wins and knocked the ball around with confidence early on. They produced some neat passing moves but those were largely confined to the area between the respective penalty boxes with little creativity in the final third. It took 24 minutes before either goalkeeper was forced into action when Carl Tremarco finally found space for a cross from the left that picked out Liam Hughes. The former Cambridge United striker managed to loop a header on target but it was a comfortable save in the end for Connor Ripley - as it was just a few minutes later. This time it was Miles Storey who provided the cross from the left with Hughes getting across his marker to glance a header that the visiting goalkeeper grabbed gratefully. Storey himself should have done better when Motherwell were again opened up down the same flank in first-half stoppage time but he could only direct Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo's cross wide from close range. Media playback is not supported on this device Motherwell's main threat came from the occasional set piece and Stevie Hammell's delivery caused problems for the Inverness defence but Chris Cadden guided the ball wide. After a sterile opening hour, Fon Williams made a mess of gathering a cross and Louis Moult set up Ainsworth to lob in the opening goal. The lead did not last long, however, as Lasley was penalised for taking down Draper and Vigurs scored against his former club from 12 yards. However, Johnson raced away following an Inverness corner to fire past Fon Williams as time ran out.
