Parents and carers at Camau Bach in Aberystwyth were told someone trespassed into its Green Room from the outside play area. It said police had been told and were informing nearby schools. Camau Bach shut temporarily earlier this year after a boy was left unattended on a minibus for two hours. Dyfed-Powys Police and the charity Mudiad Meithrin, which owns the nursery, have been asked to comment. The letter, signed by nursery manager Sioned Davies, said the individual did not come into contact with any children and ran away when confronted by a staff member. It said, as an extra security precaution, the height of existing gates would be raised.

Parents have been warned about an intruder at a Ceredigion nursery, according to a letter seen by BBC Wales.

James Vaughan claimed a 16th-minute opener for the Shakers before strike partner Tom Pope doubled their lead on 40 minutes. Stuart Beavon pulled one back for rock-bottom Coventry with a 65th-minute header but despite some late pressure, the Sky Blues could not avoid a seventh defeat from nine in the league. Bury, meanwhile, are now four points above the bottom four after taking 13 points from 15, with three straight wins since Lee Clark took charge. Coventry keeper Lee Burge had to deny Paul Caddis and Vaughan before the latter showed neat footwork to beat two defenders and sidefoot into the bottom corner. The visitors replied with Charles Vernam and Callum Reilly going close, before Pope latched onto a Callum Styles through-ball to slot home and double the home side's lead. Burge made a point-blank save from Pope just after the break, but Reilly and Vernam both fired wide before Beavon gave the visitors a lifeline, scoring from a left-wing cross by half-time substitute Ryan Haynes. Burge then kept out a Taylor Moore header but Bury keeper Joe Murphy pulled off two fine saves to deny Kevin Foley and Reilly an equaliser. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Its stature is built on its geographical size (twice that of France and Germany combined), its prestige as the custodian of the birthplace of Islam and its colossus status as an oil producer - with a quarter of the world's proven reserves under its deserts. Its importance as an oil exporting nation has made economic interdependence with the West - where the main consumer demand is found - a necessity. This, in turn, has led to strong political and military relationships that at times have been a source of awkwardness for both sides. It stands out for its espousal of a puritan version of Sunni Islam, including harsh punishments such as public beheadings, and its restrictions on women.

Saudi Arabia was established in 1932 by King Abd-al-Aziz and he has been succeeded by various sons. King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud ascended the throne in January 2015 following the death of his half-brother, King Abdullah. He has been part of the ruling clique of princes for decades and is thought likely to continue the main thrusts of Saudi strategic policy, including maintaining the alliance with the United States and working towards energy market stability. Saudi investors are major players in the pan-Arab TV industry, but the country has one of the region's most tightly-controlled media environments. The government openly acknowledges that widespread internet filtering takes place. It targets "pornographic", Islam-related, human rights and political sites. Saudi Arabia has the highest per-capita YouTube use of any country in the world. It is reportedly home to more than 40% of all active Twitter users in the Arab region. Some key events in Saudi Arabia's history: 1932 - The areas controlled by King Abd-al-Aziz are unified under the name Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 1938 - Oil is discovered and production begins under the US-controlled Aramco (Arabian American Oil Company). 1960 - Saudi Arabia is a founding member of Opec (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries). 1973 - Saudi Arabia leads an oil boycott against the Western countries that supported Israel in the October War against Egypt and Syria. Oil prices quadruple. 2001 11 September - 15 of the 19 hijackers involved in attacks on New York and Washington are Saudi nationals. 2011 - As ''Arab Spring'' protests ripple across the region, Saudi troops participate in crackdown on unrest in Bahrain. 2015 March - Saudi Arabia launches campaign of air strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the main players in the Arab world.

The Swiss bank is suspected of "complicity in illegal sales practices", an official at the Paris prosecutor's office told the BBC. It also allegedly set up a shadow accounting system that masked transfers between French and Swiss bank accounts. UBS said it was cooperating with authorities. Under French law, being placed under official investigation means there is "serious or consistent" evidence to implicate a suspect in a crime. But it does not necessarily lead to a trial, the official said. The latest move follows action taken against the bank's French unit last week which was also formally placed under scrutiny on similar suspicions. The former head of UBS France, Patrick de Fayet, and two other local branch executives are already being investigated. Investigators are examining whether UBS staff broke a French law against "illicit solicitation" by actively approaching potential clients in France. The allegations originally came to light after former staff blew the whistle on the practices that involved hundreds of retail and corporate clients. An anonymous letter was reportedly sent to the regulatory arm of the French central bank suggesting that parallel accounts were opened in Switzerland but undeclared in France, which is illegal under French law. The letter said a special record was kept between 2002-2007 listing undeclared bank accounts that had been opened by corporate clients. According to French daily Le Monde citing former employees, UBS bankers regularly mingled with affluent people at sporting events and musical concerts - including some sponsored by UBS - in order to seek out possible clients for tax evasion. In one example, a former marketing official at the French branch of UBS said Swiss bankers "made trips [to France] to meet 'prospects'" at events, including the tennis tournament Roland Garros. Stephanie Gibaud said she was asked to "destroy a series of sensitive documents containing the names of current or potential clients who had participated in events organised on French territory." Nicolas Forissier, a former internal auditor of UBS' private banking division, also told the newspaper that a special record containing a list of French clients with undeclared bank accounts was sent to the UBS' Swiss headquarters. "It was France that you had to milk. The French branch of UBS was just an excuse to collect [clients] for UBS Switzerland," he told Le Monde. The magistrates investigating the affair have sent a list containing the names of 353 people suspected of having held a Swiss account to Swiss authorities and have requested details, the official at the prosecutor's office told the BBC. In addition to the latest investigation, UBS was also identified as a "supervised witness" on two other allegations related to money laundering and tax evasion, she added. Supervised witness is a less serious status than a formal investigation. It means that a person must be accompanied by his or her lawyer if questioned further in the investigation. UBS said: "We will continue working with the authorities in France within the applicable legal framework to arrive at a resolution to this matter." In a separate statement in French, it said: "The tribunal's decision widens the probe. UBS will continue to cooperate with the French authorities. UBS will not allow any move aimed at helping clients to avoid their fiscal duties." The latest investigation came amid a wider government crackdown on tax evasion in Europe and the United States. In France, former French budget minister Jerome Cahuzac resigned in April after admitting he had squirreled away savings in an undeclared Swiss bank account. His ministry was responsible for tackling tax evasion. UBS was placed under a similar investigation in 2008 in the US when it faced charges for conspiracy to defraud the US tax authority. The bank eventually paid a $780m fine to avoid prosecution and handed over data on some 4,500 bank accounts held by suspected US tax evaders.

French authorities are formally investigating UBS for allegedly helping wealthy clients open undeclared bank accounts in Switzerland.

The detective leading the enquiry said the soldiers are not obliged to speak to the police because they are being treated as witnesses and not suspects. Thirteen civilians were killed when soldiers opened fire on a civil rights march in Londonderry in 1972. A 14th died later. Police resumed their investigation into the killings in January.. The information about 100 soldiers being contacted emerged on Thursday following fresh criticism of the police investigation by some Bloody Sunday families. Det Ch Insp Ian Harrison, from the PSNI's Legacy Investigations Branch, said his team completed its "civilian witness enquiries" and made contact with more than 100 soldiers to "determine if they are willing to engage with us". "It should be noted that these soldiers are witnesses, not suspects, and are therefore not obliged to speak with us," said Mr Harrison. "The next stage of the investigation would be to interview those soldiers who are willing to engage with the enquiry team as witnesses." Mr Harrison said his team of officers was also carrying out a number of other enquiries in relation to the investigation which he described as a "long, complex and protracted". "I am content with the level of resources I have working on the investigation at this stage. "If at any time further resources are required they will be made available to me." Some Bloody Sunday families criticised the police investigation in a letter to Detective Chief Inspector Ian Harrison from Peter Madden of Madden and Finucane Solicitors. It said that some of the families were losing faith in the investigation because they had "heard nothing from the PSNI since a meeting in January and were entirely unaware of what progress had been made". Peter Madden also said there was a presumption that there had "still been no move by the PSNI to interview any of the soldiers involved in the shootings" and that this added to a perception that police were "reluctant to arrest and question soldiers as murder suspects". The letter continued: "Regrettably, as we fast approach the fifth anniversary of the delivery of Lord Saville's report, it seems that little has occurred in the interim to alleviate those public concerns and those that we represent are rapidly losing faith in the PSNI's ability to see their task through." Peter Madden demanded another meeting between the police and the families he represents. He also asked Detective Chief Inspector Ian Harrison to set out a full written progress report within the next 14 days. Mickey McKinney, whose brother William was killed on Bloody Sunday, told BBC Radio Foyle: "The entire investigation has slowed down. "The last meeting with the police was five months ago and we have been told nothing since then. "There was an agreement that there would be a meeting with families every three months but that hasn't been happening. "I only found out about the 100 soldiers being contacted last night (Thursday) but we want suspects being questioned in this case. "Sometimes I and other families just feel we are on a road to nowhere. "Some of the families would like to meet the PSNI immediately. "Time is a major factor in all of this. Suspects are not getting any younger."

The PSNI has contacted more than 100 soldiers as part of the investigation into Bloody Sunday.

The college, which employs about 480 staff, said it had been operating with a "staff surplus" for several years which must now be addressed. The decision "has no impact" on students, it said, and although 76 posts might go, it was anticipated the final figure "will be less than this". UCU (University and College Union) said it had "seen it coming to some extent" but was "shocked" at the scale of it. Read more news for Shropshire The college said it would be offering voluntary redundancies to reduce the need for compulsory redundancies. Interim and agency staffing would be "significantly" reduced and there would be opportunities for staff to retrain, it added. A 30-day consultation has started to discuss the proposals. College principal and chief executive Graham Guest said its priority was to "build on the improvements noted and highlighted by both Ofsted and the FE commissioner" during recent visits. In its June 2016 inspection, Ofsted found the college was operating inadequately but has found improvements during two recent visits. The college is in the process of merging with the town's New College, but said the job proposals were nothing to do with that. It could not say if there would be further job losses when the merger takes place. Vice chair of the college branch of UCU Crispin Barker said the union had been in communication with management and knew about the financial pressure the college was under. Mr Barker said he was "sure" the figure of 76 would be reduced from what he had been told by the college. The union said it intended to work with college leaders to minimise any "potential impact upon the learner experience".

The St Athan Search and Rescue Helicopter Service was officially launched on Thursday. From its £7m Vale of Glamorgan base, it will conduct land and sea missions previously carried out by the RAF. It started operating on 4 October and has so far completed eight missions. The new base is one of 10 being set up around the UK by 2017, with 22 helicopters set to conduct land and sea searches on behalf of HM Coastguard. A ten-year contract was awarded by the Department for Transport to Bristow Helicopters to deliver the service. Two of the new bases are in Wales, with one in Caernarfon, Gwynedd replacing RAF Valley and St Athan covering an area once served by helicopters from RAF Chivenor in Devon. There are two Agusta Westland AW139 helicopters based at St Athan, each worth around £7.5m and fitted with night vision and state-of-the art medical equipment. "We aim to be ready to fly within 15 minutes of the call in the day and 45 minutes at night. But for the last emergency we were airborne in seven minutes," said Capt Olly Padbury. "We also had a call within 45 minutes of going live on 4 October, so it shows the importance of the service." The 30-person team will be on 24-hour call and cover an area that runs roughly between mid Wales, Bude in Cornwall, Oxford and London. Capt Padbury said the base's location meant the two helicopters could get quickly to areas that receive large amounts of emergency calls- such as Worm's Head on Gower, Fishguard in Pembrokeshire and Woolacombe Beach in Devon. Moving at speeds of roughly 160mph, the crew travelled to Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, in seven minutes to answer a call of a man stuck in mud recently. Other call-outs have been to a horse rider who fell in west Wales and someone who had fallen at Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. Another recent mission was to aid the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team, who made an emergency call after a walker fell near Ystradfellte, Powys and had a pelvis injury. Richard Parkes, the director of maritime operations at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, called the base launch a "bittersweet" moment. He praised the previous rescue work conducted from Chivenor, saying: "A high benchmark has been set by the RAF through 70 years of search and rescue. "The challenge is to emulate it."

Rescues of a fallen horse rider, someone trapped in a gorge and a man stuck in mud are among the first missions completed by a new helicopter unit.

The men, along with a fifth man, were caught after firearms, ammunition and cocaine were found in a car arriving at Folkestone from Calais in January 2012. They were convicted of firearms and drugs charges on Monday after a six-week trial. At Woolwich Crown Court they were given prison sentences ranging from six-and-a-half years to 14 years. Describing it as "a carefully planned enterprise" Judge Philip Shorrock said: "The guns were intended for use by serious criminals. They would be used to kill or maim." The court heard the gang was caught after armed police stopped two of the men in two BMW cars arriving at Folkestone on Eurotunnel last year. Officers discovered five handguns and three silencers, while 500g of cocaine was found in an Army issue boot covered in duct tape and curry powder to disguise the smell. Detectives believe the guns were destined for criminal gangs in London. Ringleader Lemar Loveless, 26, of Brydon Walk, Islington, north London, who had resigned from the army in November 2011 and was on terminal leave, was jailed for 14 years after admitting conspiring to import firearms. Lance Laurent, 26, of Gloucester Street, Battersea, south-west London, was sentenced to 12 years in jail after admitting conspiring to import firearms. Both Loveless and Laurent were also found guilty of conspiring to import class A drugs. Trave Dyce, 22, of Sydney Road, Smethwick, West Midlands, was jailed for seven-and-a-half years after he admitted conspiring to import drugs and firearms. Romone Mashalleck, 25, a civilian, of Huron Street, Balham, south London, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in jail after being found guilty of conspiring to import firearms. Duran Wright, a former regimental police officer in the Army, was jailed for 10 years. The 28-year-old, of Jerningham Road, New Cross, south-east London, was found guilty of conspiring to import class A drugs and firearms. Laurent had been a trooper with the Queen's Royal Hussars and Wright had been a lance corporal with the Royal Logistics Corps. Dyce and Loveless had been troopers in the Queen's Royal Hussars. They were all based in Germany. Marshalleck was their civilian contact in London. Jurors heard Dyce, Laurent and Wright were serving soldiers while Loveless was on terminal leave ahead of his discharge from the Army. Alison Saunders, of the CPS, said: "This was a planned conspiracy to bring weapons, ammunition and drugs into the UK organised by four soldiers, based in Germany, and their civilian contact in London." She said the full extent of those involved was only discovered when phone data was "meticulously analysed and a picture of those involved was created". She continued: "These deadly weapons could have gone on to be used in violent crimes. "The high-purity cocaine that was imported had a street value of over £70,000 and would almost certainly have made big profits for criminal gangs while damaging lives."

Four British soldiers who tried to smuggle guns and drugs into the UK have been jailed.

And I don't get to say that very often. On the one hand, eurocrats were hurried - in wind and rain - into EU courtyards to stand in photo-op-ready groups to form the number 60. (It's the EU's 60th birthday celebration this Saturday.) And on the other - after months of cajoling, thinly-veiled frustration and angst from Brussels - the UK government finally made clear the date it will officially trigger the Brexit process. Next Wednesday. But whereas Saturday really is a huge deal for the EU - marking decades of togetherness at a time when the union is very much under threat from populist nationalism across the EU, inequality and discord in the eurozone, migration complications and Brexit itself, of course - next Wednesday, while an historic day in the UK, will not play out so big this side of the Channel. There is a determination here that Brexit must no longer be allowed to dominate and overshadow EU politics as it has done since way before the UK referendum even. One high-level source told me that after Brussels received Britain's formal notification of its intention to leave, Brexit would immediately be downgraded to one of many EU issues to be dealt with, rather than The Big Thing. "There will be no major political apocalyptic show," he assured me. But of course, the underlying EU fear remains that if a Brexit deal is too sweet for the UK, other countries may be inspired to also walk out the door. Brussels officials are grateful that Theresa May did not trigger Article 50 this week, so close to the EU's birthday bash. The tone there will be resolutely upbeat, rather than focused on one of its key members leaving the club. As for the what-happens-next with Brexit, the rule in Brussels is: don't expect too much too fast. Ever. The remaining 27 EU leaders, or at least their teams, began getting diaries together on Monday. To fix a date (expected in around five or six weeks) for that all-important summit when they'll agree their red lines and guidelines for Brexit negotiations. The European Commission will lead the UK talks from the EU side - but all the initial meetings will be about who will meet, when, in which country, discussing what and in which order. Most probably little of substance will be achieved before the autumn. The EU prefers to get the key elections coming up in big-hitters France and Germany out the way first. But any delay is painful for the UK. The Article 50 timer is set for two years and the clock starts ticking next Wednesday.

Brussels was abuzz on Monday.

The pop star was given the night's top honour for her multi-million selling record 25, but told the audience, "I can't possibly accept this award". "I'm very humbled and I'm very grateful, but Beyonce is the artist of my life". The British singer then appeared to break the award in two accidentally and offer a piece to her fellow nominee. Adele's victory over Beyonce is certain to boost complaints that the Grammys habitually overlook black artists. Several artists, including Frank Ocean and Kanye West, chose to skip this year's ceremony on that basis. Ocean even declined to submit his critically-acclaimed album, Blonde, for consideration, saying the Grammys did not "seem to be representing very well for people who come from where I come from, and hold down what I hold down". Two years ago, West rushed onto the stage in protest when Beck's Morning Phase beat Beyonce's last LP in the best album race. However, Adele's 25 was by far the biggest-seller on this year's shortlist; outselling Beyonce's Lemonade by a factor of 10 to 1. It is unclear if Adele will officially reject her award. If she does, it would only be the second time in history that has happened. The last was in 1990, when Sinead O'Connor turned down best alternative album for I Do Not Want What I Have Not Got, claiming the ceremony was too "commercialised". Main winners Whatever the outcome, Adele remains one of the night's biggest winners. She won five prizes in all, including three of the top four: Best album, song of the year and record of the year - the latter two both rewarding her 2015 comeback single, Hello. Chicago's Chance the Rapper also took three prizes, including best rap album for his self-released record Coloring Book. "I know people think independence means you do it by yourself, but independence means freedom," he said as he picked up best new act at the start of the ceremony. Rock icon David Bowie won in each of the five categories he was nominated for, including best alternative album, for Blackstar, and best rock performance, for the album's title track. And Beyonce wasn't left completely empty-handed: she took home best urban contemporary album and best music video, for the politically-charged Formation. The star, who is pregnant with twins, also gave an ambitious and logistically complex performance of the songs Love Drought and Sandcastles, themed around the ideas of rebirth, regeneration and healing. Dressed in flowing, golden Egyptian robes and an elaborate headdress, she dedicated the performance to motherhood, proudly displaying her baby bump as she sang. But while Beyonce's performance was flawless, others were marred by technical issues. Lady Gaga duetted with Metallica on the song Moth to the Flame, but singer James Hetfield was inaudible throughout the first verse. He later sang cheek-to-cheek with Gaga, sharing her microphone, but angrily threw his guitar to one of his roadies at the end of the performance. Adele also went off-key during a tribute to George Michael, and tearfully asked if the song could be started again. It was, and she received a standing ovation for her troubles. Respects were paid to Sir George Martin, Leonard Cohen and other musicians we lost in 2016, while Bruno Mars honoured Prince by playing the star's trademark cloud guitar in a pitch-perfect rendition of Let's Go Crazy.

Adele has apparently turned down the Grammy award for best album, saying Beyonce deserved it more.

David Davies said there were too many "scare stories" suggesting people would be removed. The status of EU citizens working in the UK is likely to be top of the agenda in formal Brexit talks. Labour's Eluned Morgan said that EU migrants contribute "far far more" than they take out across the UK. Speaking on the BBC One's Wales Report programme, Mr Davies said: "There's no threat whatsoever to law-abiding, hard working Polish, Hungarian, other EU citizens who come over here to work." The Brexit campaigner said: "I'm afraid there's too many scare stories being put out there. "We're not going to stop people from moving around or throw people out of the country." Ms Morgan said: "I think what we have to understand is that economically, migrants from the EU contribute far-far more than they take out across the United Kingdom. "They contribute about £6bn which is what is paying for people's pensions and schools and hospitals." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said earlier this week the issue was "settled" after last year's referendum, but declined in a BBC interview to say the UK would definitely leave if he became Prime Minister. Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth claimed the Conservatives were responsible for "scare stories" about the "negative effects that these immigrants from the EU have". He said EU migrants are "clearly net contributors to our economy". UKIP AM Caroline Jones said that since 2010 Theresa May had promised to bring the levels of immigration down to the tens of thousands of people per year. "Instead of that two million people since 2010 have entered the UK. So that commitment hasn't worked, has it," she said. The Liberal Democrats' Eluned Parrott said: "I think what's really really sad in all of this is that there are human beings here, individual human beings who's own status feels threatened. "People who are doctors, they're nurses, they're translators, they are people working in really useful jobs for our society who feel like they're not wanted." The Wales Report, BBC One, Wednesday, 22:45 BST

Immigrants from the EU working in Wales will not be thrown out of the country post-Brexit, a senior Welsh Conservative has said.

A Scottish Canals team used Google Street View's Trekker camera backpack to capture attractions including the Crinan Canal and the Falkirk Wheel. The camera is designed to allow easier access to narrow footpaths and bridges. Neptune's Staircase on the Caledonian Canal and Stockingfield Bridge have also been captured. The 4ft-high backpack, which weighs 40lbs, is fitted with a 15-angle-lens camera which takes 360 pictures every 2.5 seconds. Scottish Canals' head of information and communication technologies Andrew McSherry said: "When Scotland's canals were first carved through the heart and highlands of the nation during the Industrial Revolution, they were considered at the cutting edge of engineering and design. "It's been incredible to see every nook, cranny, and lock captured using this 21st Century equipment. "The Trekker has been ideal for the narrower towpaths and bridges of Scotland's canals and allows us to show off some of the more hard-to-reach places along the canal network as well as the sights known the world over." A Google spokesman said "We believe the world is better explored than explained. "The Trekker enables you to travel to some of the most beautiful places on Earth, such as the Scottish canals, from the comfort of your own home."

Mobile 360-degree camera technology has helped open up 137 miles of panoramic views of Scotland's waterways to online visitors.

Media playback is not supported on this device Rangers, who have already clinched the Championship title and promotion, have now gone three games without a victory. Halkett's first goal of the season - the final piece of action in the first half - won the points. And it will give second-bottom Livi renewed hope that they can avoid relegation via the play-offs. This was only the fifth defeat of Rangers' league season, but Mark Warburton's side have now not won since beating Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final. Livingston had gone into the game with only 17 fit players and gave a first start to 16-year-old Matthew Knox. The highly talented midfielder has actually been training with Rangers, who had a bid in the region of £100,000 rejected for his services. Knox is also interesting Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. The fact that virtually the length of the division lies between the teams was underlined by the early possession and pressure. It was all Rangers from the first whistle and Andy Halliday, Gedion Zelalem and Michael O'Halloran all had opportunities to score. Incredibly, though, it should have been Livingston taking the lead. Zelalem lost the ball in his own half and Danny Mullen suddenly found himself clear, but the midfielder shot wide. The warning bells were ringing for the division's champions when Sam Stanton also had a dancing run and a shot past the goalkeeper's left port. The half did, indeed, come to a remarkable finish. In its dying seconds, young Knox whipped in a fabulous free-kick from the left and Halkett met it with the perfect header to flash the ball beyond diving goalkeeper Wes Foderingham. Rangers supporters in the crowd of 5,021 looked like they could hardly believe the scoreline. The second half picked up on the first half script. The Ibrox side continued to huff and puff and fluff chances. Livingston grew in confidence as the league's champions produced one of their poorest showings of the term. The West Lothian side should have had a second goal, but Liam Buchanan put the simplest of headers over the bar from inside the six-yard box. The same player, one on one with Foderingham, was only denied by a block from the the goalkeeper. Livingston were worthy winners. Rangers looked a shadow of the team that grabbed the Old Firm headlines and are preparing for the cup final against Hibernian.

Champions Rangers' slump in form continued thanks to Livingston defender Craig Halkett's first-half header against his former club.

The UKIP leader told MEPs that the vote would be an opportunity for the UK to regain its "national self-confidence". He described David Cameron's renegotiation strategy as a "charade" which would yield only "minor" changes. EU leaders will discuss the UK's reform agenda, including proposed curbs on benefits, at a dinner on Thursday. While there will be no agreement at the two-day EU Council meeting, the UK expects there to be "substantive and frank discussions" which could potentially pave the way for a deal in February. The talks are likely to show the level of support and opposition to Mr Cameron's four main reform objectives, the most contentious of which is a four-year ban on EU migrants claiming in work-benefits. The UK also wants more powers for national Parliaments, legally-binding safeguards for countries outside the eurozone and an opt-out for the UK from the principle of ever-closer union. Although David Cameron has said he will not name the referendum date until the negotiations have concluded, Mr Farage - who has long campaigned for the UK to leave the EU - said he expected it to be held next June. Speaking in the European Parliament, he said he expected David Cameron to be given short shrift at Thursday's dinner, claiming the UK prime minister had only been allowed to speak for seven minutes at an earlier dinner in June when he first set out his plans after the Conservatives' election victory. "He (David Cameron) has asked for almost nothing and is unlikely to get even that," he said. "But I am sure we will be treated to the usual theatricals. A grave-faced prime minister will come back to the UK to say how tough the negotiations have been, to say he will not give in and there will be hints that the PM will even support "Brexit" if he does not get his own way. "In February, the charade will come back. There will be a European summit and on something minor and inconsequential there will be a deal." Q&A: What Britain wants from Europe Guide to the UK's planned in-out EU referendum BBC News EU referendum special report Mr Farage said the backlash against migrant quotas in Hungary and other countries and the performance of the Front National in recent regional elections in France showed the degree to which opposition to the European Union was "growing right across the continent". He added: "So far nobody has reached the tipping point but the British referendum may be that moment. The momentum is on our side. It is not just about getting back national democracy, it is about getting back national self-confidence. "For those of us who believe in nation state democracy, 2016 is a very bright dawn indeed." Speaking in the same debate in Strasbourg, Gianni Pitella - the head of the Socialist and Democrat Group in the Parliament - said the EU must do "everything it can" to keep the UK as a member and the UK needed a "clear and positive commitment to conclude the negotiations". And Guy Verhofstadt, the former Belgian prime minister who is now an MEP, said there must be a "constructive" response to the UK's demands - which he said provided the EU with an opportunity to pursue other "desperately needed" changes, including new governance arrangements for the eurozone and a "defence community". Speaking on Wednesday, former British prime minister Sir John Major warned against the UK "flirting" with EU exit, saying it would be dangerous to adopt a position of "splendid isolation" when the world was "coming together" to fight common challenges.

The referendum on the UK's future in the European Union could be a "tipping point" for opposition to the "European project", Nigel Farage has said.

A colony has been roosting in St Hilda's Church at Ellerburn, close to the North York Moors. But despite the church's best efforts the bats are not moving and are soiling the altar and church furniture, leaving the church with an "appalling smell". The creatures are protected by law and cannot be wilfully disturbed. Volunteers at the church have been working for the past decade to keep the altar, stonework and woodwork clean. But the bats, roosting in the higher areas of the church continually soil the interior of the building with urine and faeces. Church warden Liz Cowley said keeping the 11th Century building in good shape was difficult. She said: "You can see the urine marks (on the altar), they won't go away. "If people were coming in here damaging an ancient building like this, you would say it was criminal damage. "The smell is appalling, it's a combination of ammonia from the urine and a musty smell from the droppings that catches at the back of the throat." Members of the church had spent £10,000 trying to get the bats to move and had paid for specially-built lofts nearby. The Rev Paul Mothersdale, the Rector of St Hilda's Church, said a lot of money had been invested in trying to persuade the bats to move out of the church. The Rev Mothersdale said: "We've tried to do everything that English Nature, or Natural England, have wanted us to do. "Money has been spent, not only by the congregation, not only out of church funds, but local people have mucked in and helped. "And yet we're no further forward, we're still as we were 10 years ago." Lucy Bellini, of Natural England, said the bats had to be carefully monitored. Ms Bellini said: "It is a really regionally important roost. "Because of that we need to be sure that there are replacement roosts that are suitable and that the bats have found and are aware of and can move to before we allow the church to seal up access points and move the bats out of the church."

A congregation in North Yorkshire has spent thousands of pounds building heated bat lofts in an attempt to lure the creatures out of their church.

The male in his early 30s was found with critical injuries in North Woolwich Road, Silvertown, at about 13:30 GMT. He was pronounced dead at the scene and inquiries are under way to locate his next-of-kin, the Met said. No arrests have been made. Two other cyclists were killed in the capital within hours of each other on Monday. Anita Szucs, 30, died after an apparent hit-and-run on Bounces Road, Enfield, while Karla Roman, 32, was killed in a crash with a coach on Whitechapel High Street, Tower Hamlets.

Griffin Place Communications Limited, in Llantarnam, Cwmbran, employed up to 140 people, with many staff claiming they were sacked days before. Torfaen AM Lynne Neagle said the Welsh government has "serious questions to answer", while Welsh government said it would be reviewing the situation. Attempts have been made to contact the company for comment. On Friday, employees arrived at the Llantarnam offices to find the rooms empty and the doors locked. The company has notified some workers that it has commenced liquidation proceedings and many of those have claimed they are owed thousands of pounds in wages. A letter to employees from insolvency firm Finn Associates advised there will be a meeting of creditors on 13 August. Ms Neagle has arranged a public meeting for former workers on Monday at Mount Pleasant Hall in Pontnewydd. "The immediate priority now has got to be to try and support the many staff who have been devastated by this news," she said. Shadow Economy Minister William Graham said Welsh taxpayers "will rightly question" whether Welsh government's investment in the project represented value for money. Torfaen council confirmed it will be contacting seven clients employed by the company as part of the UK government's Work Programme. According to the Welsh government, support provided to the company stipulated jobs should be in place for at least three years. "We will, with immediate effect, be seeking repayment of relevant grant sums," the spokesperson added. "We have also mobilised the Welsh Contact Centre Forum, who can signpost affected staff to potential new job opportunities, and we will keep the situation under review."

A call centre in Torfaen which received £600,000 funding from the Welsh government has gone into liquidation.

BHS entered administration in April. Since then, efforts have been continuing to rescue it from closure and save the jobs of its 11,000 staff. Last week, a surprise late bid led by retail veteran Greg Tufnell transformed the race to acquire the retailer. His team, said to be backed by Portuguese money, is the front-runner. But if a deal cannot be struck, the business may still have to be liquidated. The remaining bidders have faded into the background. Another consortium led by Matalan tycoon John Hargreaves and Turkish retail entrepreneur Cafer Mahiroglu has reportedly run into difficulties, while other suitors have apparently failed to impress with their proposals. Some of those involved in the different bids have impressive retailing histories. But then Sir Philip Green, who controlled BHS from 2000 to 2015, also had a brilliant track record. And he ended up selling the business for £1. So what are the chances of saving BHS from the liquidators? And just who are the people aiming to do it? In the public eye, Greg Tufnell is easily overshadowed by his more famous brother Phil, the former England cricketer. But that could change if his bid for BHS is successful, because he hopes to become the firm's next chairman. And as far as his credentials for the job are concerned, the 54-year-old executive certainly talks the talk. He describes himself as "a highly experienced managing director with Mothercare and Arcadia, a blend of entrepreneur, strategist and hands-on operator with significant commercial business turnaround, acquisition and fund-raising experience". His record shows that he was buying and merchandising director at Next from 1991 to 1994. He then spent three years as managing director of menswear retailer Burton, part of the Arcadia group, followed by another three years as managing director of Mothercare. He currently appears to occupy a portfolio of different jobs, including the chairmanships of leather accessories brand Zatchels and recruitment consultancy hga Group. Earlier this month, he registered a new firm, Richess Group, at Companies House. Its other directors are Nick de Scossa, a Swiss banker, and Lisbon-based entrepreneur Jose Maria Soares Bento. Until Mr Tufnell's bid turned up, many observers had assumed that BHS would be snapped up by Matalan founder Mr Hargreaves. But it appears that the cost of a deal may have proved too high. Sources say Mr Hargreaves was asked to improve his offer and balked. Like Sir Philip Green, 71-year-old John Hargreaves also enjoys the life of the super-rich. He has an estimated fortune of £1bn, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. But in stark contrast to the ebullient Sir Philip, Mr Hargreaves is described by industry insiders as quiet-spoken, someone who shuns the limelight. Mr Hargreaves is no longer directly involved in the business he founded. He sold his 69% stake in Matalan in 2000, then in 2006 took it private through Missouri Bidco, a company 53.5% owned by him and his family. As a partner in Mr Hargreaves' bid, there is also Cafer Mahiroglu, the owner of Select Fashions. At 50, he is the youngest of these High Street players. Mr Mahiroglu's family owns a music store chain in Turkey and, crucially, factories across Turkey, Romania and Vietnam, which supply about 80% of Select's clothing merchandise. Names that had been mentioned included Poundstretcher boss Aziz Tayub and Mike Ashley's Sports Direct, although Mr Ashley's proposal was reportedly rejected for being too low. One factor that has complicated matters is that BHS has been selling off much of its stock in a discount sale, reducing the value of its assets and making it more expensive for any new owner to replenish the items. If no deal can be struck, Duff & Phelps have already lined up three firms to act as liquidators. Alteri, Hilco and Gordon Brothers would then break up the business and sell it off piecemeal. The 164-store chain includes about 40 loss-making shops. Freed from the need to take them all, many other bidders might be prepared to cherry-pick parts of the once-prosperous empire.

The fate of ailing department store BHS is likely to be decided later on Thursday, with an announcement expected from administrators Duff & Phelps.

In a landmark move, the Federal Court told six firms to divulge names and addresses of those who downloaded The Dallas Buyers Club. The case was lodged by the US company that owns the rights to the 2013 movie. The court said the data could only be used to secure "compensation for the infringements" of copyright. In the case, which was heard in February, the applicants said they had identified 4,726 unique IP addresses from which their film was shared online using BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing network. They said this had been done without their permission. Once they received the names of account holders, the company would then have to prove copyright infringement had taken place. The judgment comes amidst a crackdown by the Australian government on internet piracy. Australians are among the world's most regular illegal downloaders of digital content. The delay in release dates for new films and TV shows, and higher prices in Australia for digital content, have prompted many Australians to find surreptitious ways to watch new shows. The ISPs involved in the case, including Australia's second-largest provider iiNet, said releasing customer information would be a breach of privacy and lead to what is known in the US as "speculative invoicing". This is where account holders are threatened with court cases that could result in large damages unless smaller settlement fees are paid. The ISPs argued also that the monetary claims which the US company, Dallas Buyers Club LLC, had against each infringer were so small "that it was plain that no such case could or would be maintained by the applicants". But Justice Nye Perram ruled that the customer information could be released on condition it was only used to recover compensation for copyright infringement. "I will also impose a condition on the applicants that they are to submit to me a draft of any letter they propose to send to account holders associated with the IP addresses which have been identified," he ruled. Justice Perram said the ruling was also important for deterring illegal downloading. "It is not beyond the realm of possibilities that damages of a sufficient size might be awarded under this provision in an appropriately serious case in a bid to deter people from the file-sharing of films," he said. The case came to court after Dallas Buyers Club LLC contacted iiNet and other ISPs, asking them to divulge customer details without a court order. The ISPs refused. The ISPs have yet to say if they will appeal against the court ruling. Professor of Law at the University of Technology, Sydney, Michael Fraser said it was an important judgement for ISPs and customers. "If this [judgement] is upheld then the days of anonymous pirating may be over," Prof Fraser told ABC TV.

An Australian court has ordered internet service providers (ISPs) to hand over details of customers accused of illegally downloading a US movie.

On Friday's show, journalist Camilla Long made claims about how often Mr Farage had visited Thanet South, where he is standing for election. UKIP said that broke a law that bans false statements about candidates. The BBC said the show often made jokes at the expense of politicians. Kent Police said it would not take action. Camilla Long had visited the constituency for an article published in the Sunday Times last month. UKIP advisor Raheem Kassam said: "Camilla Long made false statements about a candidate at this election. "The BBC chose to air it. If this isn't a breach of Section 106 of the Representation of People Act then we don't know what is." The law says it is illegal to make a "false statement of fact in relation to the candidate's personal character or conduct" before or during an election. However, Kent Police said: "It was suggested that the comments breached the Representation of the People Act. "The matter has been reviewed by officers but there's no evidence of any offences and there will be no further action." A BBC statement said Britain had "a proud tradition of satire". It added: "Everyone knows that the contributors on Have I Got News for You regularly make jokes at the expense of politicians of all parties." UKIP has also reportedly complained to the Metropolitan Police, although a spokesperson for that force said she had no information about such a complaint. The full list of candidates standing for election in Thanet South can be found here.

UKIP has complained to the police over comments about leader Nigel Farage on an episode of BBC One's topical quiz Have I Got News For You.

Liverpool City Council's chief executive Ged Fitzgerald and leader of the Conservatives at Lancashire County Council Geoff Driver were among four men held on Monday. The probe is looking into financial irregularities at Lancashire council. Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson said Mr Fitzgerald had not been suspended or faced any disciplinary process. He added Mr Fitzgerald would also be relinquishing his role as interim head of paid service for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority during the investigation. "This decision has been accepted as the right decision for the city and to enable the council to deliver services without distraction," said Mr Anderson. "There is no intention to appoint an interim chief executive and the requirements of the role will be covered by myself as executive mayor supported by the senior management team in this period." Mr Anderson said Mr Fitzgerald had been bailed by police. Lancashire Constabulary said the arrests at addresses in Preston and Merseyside were made on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and witness intimidation, but not on suspicion of fraud. The investigation, which was launched in 2013, relates to allegations of financial irregularities over the tendering of a £5m contract with One Connect Ltd, a joint venture between the council and BT to run some services. The deal included running the council's fleet of vehicles which was agreed by Lancashire's Conservative administration, then led by Mr Driver. The contract was revoked later that year by the new Labour administration. Mr Fitzgerald was the chief executive at Lancashire before he left to take up the same post at Liverpool City Council.

A council chief executive has stepped aside from his role after being arrested as part of a fraud probe.

Reports say the couple were beaten to death by hundreds of locals who then burned their bodies in the brick kiln where they worked in Punjab province. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called the murders "an unacceptable crime". Allegations of blasphemy are often used in Pakistan to settle personal scores or to target members of minorities. Police say the suspects are due to appear in court on Wednesday in Lahore. The victims have been identified as Shehzad Masih and his wife Shama. About 200 people in Lahore, mainly from the Christian community and human rights organisations, protested against the killings, which took place in the town of Kot Radha Kishan about 60km (40 miles) to the south-west. They held signs saying "Christian carnage in the name of blasphemy should be stopped" and "the government has failed to give protection to minorities", BBC Urdu's Shumaila Jaffrey reports from Lahore. Union leader Farooq Tariq told the BBC that the dispute was actually over money. "The owner of the brick kiln gave it a religious colour, and they locked up the Christian woman Shama for two days, then attacked her with shovels, then tortured her husband and threw them in the brick kiln. "It's the worst misuse of religion," he said. In a statement, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said "a responsible state cannot tolerate mob rule and public lynching with impunity". "The Pakistani state has to act proactively to protect its minorities from violence and injustice." Pakistan's blasphemy laws carry a potential death sentence for anyone who insults Islam. Since the 1990s, scores of Christians have been found guilty of desecrating the Koran or of blasphemy. While most of them have been sentenced to death by the lower courts, many sentences have been overturned due to lack of evidence. However, correspondents say even the mere accusation of blasphemy, or defending someone accused of blasphemy, is enough to make someone a target for hardliners. In May gunmen in the city of Multan shot dead a lawyer, Rashid Rehman, who had been defending a university lecturer accused of blasphemy. Last month a Pakistani court upheld the death penalty for Asia Bibi, a Christian woman convicted of blasphemy in 2010 - a case which sparked a global outcry.

Pakistani police have arrested at least 43 suspects in connection with Tuesday's killing of a Christian couple accused of desecrating the Koran.

A close-range Joseph Mendes finish put the Royals ahead and Jordan Obita's intended cross doubled the lead. With chances coming at both ends, Michael Kightly and Ben Turner went close for the Brewers but Yann Kermorgant's strike made it 3-0. Turner and Cauley Woodrow replied but Lewis Grabban sealed Reading's win. Turner's tap-in and Woodrow's header from Will Miller's cross looked like teeing up a nervy finale, but substitute Grabban netted following a goalmouth scramble with five minutes left. The Royals will face sixth-placed Fulham in the two-legged play-off semi-finals, with the first leg at Craven Cottage on Saturday, 13 May and the return fixture on Tuesday, 16 May. Burton, who had already secured their Championship status, dropped to 20th in the table, one point above the relegation zone. Burton boss Nigel Clough: "I thought we deserved more than a defeat from the game. We played well throughout the game. The first goal was messy and a bit scrappy early on but the second goal was as good as you will see all season. "With all the other results going the way that they did today it just goes to show how massively important that point was for us at Barnsley a week ago. "They were a bit more clinical than us today. That is why they are third in the league and may be in the Premier League in a few weeks' time." Reading manager Jaap Stam: "It is always nicer when you can go into the play-offs with a win. We are very happy. "It is going to be two very interesting games against Fulham now. They are a very good side but so are we. "Burton made us work hard for it. We knew that with it being their last home game they wanted a result and they made it difficult for us. I thought we scored four very good goals today to win the game."

The 37-year-old midfielder announced his decision after playing the whole match as Greece lost on penalties in the last-16 tie against Costa Rica. "This was my last game for Greece," said Karagounis. Media playback is not supported on this device "We wanted to stay in Brazil another week or even longer but you can't change it now." Karagounis made his international debut in 1999 and amassed a record 139 caps for his country, scoring 10 goals in the process. He helped Greece win Euro 2004 and their progress in Brazil meant they reached the second round of the World Cup for the first time in their history. Karagounis, who was released by Fulham at the end of last season, said he was making way for Greece's next generation of players. "The national team has grown up, younger players have won invaluable experiences," he added. "This is no small thing and as we helped the team come of age we hope it will continue to be as successful in the future." Greece coach Fernando Santos will also leave his post after his contract expired on Monday. Santos was sent to the stands before the penalty shootout took place against Costa Rica and had to watch on television as his side made their exit from the World Cup.

The pop legend lost his cool during his performance at Gloucester's Kingsholm Stadium on Sunday. The steward incurred John's wrath for trying to stop people with cheaper tickets blocking the view of concert-goers at the front who had paid more. But sorry turned out not to be the hardest word, with John later getting her on stage and apologising. Stewards at the stadium, which is the home of Gloucester Rugby, were faced with the problem of some people moving to the front and blocking the view of others at the gig, which was supposed to be seated. The lack of crowd control has been criticised by fans, but promoter Marshall Arts, which was responsible for the stewarding, refused to comment about it. During the concert, the legendary singer-songwriter told the stewards to "lighten up". He told them: "These people have come here to hear music so if they want to put their hands in the air, let them." In an expletive-laden rant, John went to say it was "not China" and he picked out a female steward, telling her: "You put a uniform on and you think you're Hitler - well you're not." Moments later the woman could be seen on the big screen walking away from the stage area, while people cheered the Rocket Man writer's outburst. Steven Ward, from Tewkesbury, who attended the event, said: "This [concert] was seated, there were disabled people who were sat on our aisle who couldn't see, obviously they couldn't stand up to see the stage. "There were people fighting to get a view of what they were trying to look at and, for some reason, the stewards brought out barriers to try and stop people, but that made them worse because they congregated by the barrier." Gloucester Rugby's commercial manager, Mike Turner, said: "The Elton John concert is a stadium hire so Elton brings on his own stewards. "Our stewards man the corporate areas and everything else is manned by the production company Elton uses. "The stewards did their best to bring the concert back to how it should be." A spokesman for Marshall Arts said the concert had been a great success but she would not comment on any aspect of the stewarding, which she said was subcontracted to another company.

Sir Elton John likened a steward to Hitler as she tried to stop crowds from surging forward during a gig.

It comes days after IS was pushed out of the nearby ancient city of Palmyra. IS captured al-Qaryatain in August, and abducted hundreds of residents, including dozens of Christians. Many were later freed. A monitoring group said there were still pockets of fighting in the town. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Sunday there were still IS fighters in the eastern parts of the town, but that they were withdrawing. If the government reasserts its control over al-Qaryatain, it would be a further boost for President Bashar al-Assad, whose forces - backed by Russian air strikes - have made a string of gains against rebels in recent months. The capture of the town would also provide a central base for government troops and their allies to attack IS-held areas near the Iraqi border, observers say. A Syrian army general said troops had "restored security and stability to al-Qaryatain and farms surrounding it" and would cut off IS supply routes between the east and the Qalamoun mountains region in the west. Al-Qaryatain, about 80km (50 miles) west of Palmyra, was taken over by IS fighters in their first major offensive since they seized Palmyra last May. The mixed city had a large Christian population, many of whom fled, though dozens were abducted and reportedly taken to IS' de facto capital, Raqqa. They were released weeks later, reports said. There has been a dramatic drop in fighting in Syria since a partial ceasefire came into effect last month, though IS and the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front were excluded and are still being targeted.

Syrian forces and their allies have retaken the central town of al-Qaryatain from so-called Islamic State (IS), dealing a further strategic blow to the militant group, state media say.

Michelle Carter is charged with involuntary manslaughter for her role in the suicide of Conrad Roy III. Prosecutors allege Ms Carter drove the Massachusetts 18-year-old to his death to attract sympathy. She has asked a judge to rule on the case, rather than a jury of her peers. "You need to do it, Conrad," Ms Carter texted him on the morning of 12 July, according to records presented by the Bristol County District Attorney's Office. "You're ready and prepared. All you have to do is turn the generator on and you will be free and happy," she wrote. She told him in another message: "You're finally going to be happy in heaven. No more pain. It's okay to be scared and it's normal. I mean, you're about to die." As he expressed doubts, she kept pushing. "I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you're ready … just do it babe," she said. "No more pushing it off. No more waiting," she went on. Mr Roy was found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning in his vehicle at a Kmart car park in Fairhavens, Massachusetts, on 13 July 2014. Texts show he wavered in his plan to follow through with the suicide, at one point getting out of his pick-up truck. Ms Carter replied in a message: "Get back in." After his death, she fundraised for mental health awareness and led a charity softball event in his honour. Mr Roy's mother, Lynn Roy, told the court on Tuesday she had no warning of her son's suicide. She said: "I thought he was a little depressed." On the day of his death, Mr Roy went to the seaside in Westport, Massachusetts, with his mother and sisters, according to prosecutors. He bought his sisters ice cream, joked about bathing suits and spoke of a scholarship he had just won, while making other plans for the future. As arguments began on Tuesday, images of his text exchanges with Ms Carter were broadcast on the courtroom wall. "She used Conrad as a pawn," said Assistant District Attorney Maryclare Flynn, adding that the accused had wanted to gain attention as the "grieving girlfriend". "She talked him out of his doubts point-by-point, assured him that his family would understand why he did it, researched logistics and reassured him that he was likely to succeed, and pushed him to stop procrastinating and get on with it, mocking his hesitation," said the prosecutor. Lawyers had requested the case be dismissed on the grounds of right to free speech. But a juvenile court judge ruled that encouraging suicide was not protected under the US constitution. Defence lawyer Joseph Cataldo argued that Mr Roy had been motivated to kill himself for some time, and that his depression was spurred by family troubles. He told the court that Ms Carter had previously talked her boyfriend out of suicide attempts. Recently unsealed documents show Mr Roy attempted to take his own life several times before, and had spent time researching methods online. Defence lawyer Mr Cataldo said in court: "My heart goes out to the family, but this was a young man who planned this for months and months". According to local media reports, Ms Carter had also texted Mr Roy that his parents would "get over" his suicide. "You've hit that point and I think your parents know you've hit that point," the accused texted. "You said your mom saw a suicide thing on your computer and she didn't say anything.

A 20-year-old US woman whose boyfriend took his own life nearly three years ago after she repeatedly urged him to suicide has gone on trial.

2 December 2016 Last updated at 14:06 GMT Asked by the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire about a survey that showed many myths about HIV endure in the UK, Sir Elton said he was not surprised considering the DUP's Trevor Clarke said this week he did not know until recently that heterosexual people could contract HIV.

Sir Elton John has criticised comments by a DUP MLA on HIV.

The group, reported to be three men, two women and four children aged from two to 11, was held at Reyhanli, in Hatay province, near the Syrian border. Their intention in travelling to the region, where areas are controlled by Islamic State (IS) militants or an al-Qaeda affiliate, is not clear. The Foreign Office has said it is in contact with the Turkish authorities. The BBC's Mark Lowen said the information about the ages of the children had not been independently verified and it was too early to know where the group were intending to head to. "Were they heading for one of the more moderate groups in Syria. Were they heading for the area controlled by al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda affiliate? Or were they heading to so-called Islamic State territory?" he said. The group was taken to a police station in southern Turkey overnight, and then sent to the foreigners department awaiting deportation to the UK. They have undergone medical examinations and had their finger-prints taken. The United Nations estimates the number of foreign fighters joining militant groups is more than 25,000, from 100 different nations. About 600 Britons are believed to have gone to Syria or Iraq since IS seized control of large swathes of territory there. Most are thought to have volunteered as fighters for the militant Islamist group. Around half are believed to have later returned to the UK, the Metropolitan Police has said. The latest detentions come two weeks after three British teenagers were stopped from travelling into Syria from Turkey. The three - two aged 17 and one 19, from north-west London - were arrested following a tip-off from British police and flown back to the UK. They have since been released on police bail. They had flown to Turkey from Barcelona and were arrested at Sabiha Gokcen airport in Istanbul. Fadi Hakura, Turkey analyst for Chatham House, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the recent arrests showed the Turkish government was "taking more effective measures to control the flow of fighters and supporters into Syria". He said there was now "more enhanced security and intelligence cooperation between Turkey and its Western counterparts, especially with the exchange of names that Turkey needs to prohibit [IS supporters] from crossing into Syria". The Turkish government has said it cannot make a 560-mile border watertight and will act when it has prior warning. In February this year there were recriminations between British police and Turkish officials after three London schoolgirls disappeared from Turkey, apparently having crossed the border into Syria. Shamima Begum, Amira Abase, both 15, and Kadiza Sultana, 16 had flown to Istanbul and travelled to the border region. Turkish officials said they had not been warned promptly enough by British police to intercept them - Scotland Yard denied this.

Nine British nationals have been detained in Turkey after allegedly trying to enter Syria illegally.

It's clearly not the results. Beat Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday and they will have matched New Zealand's all-time tier one record for consecutive victories. It's not the way they finish games; under coach Eddie Jones, they have scored a cumulative 102 more points in the final quarter of matches than their opponents. It's what's been happening at the other end of the games that is raising eyebrows among critics and hopes among their opponents. Scoreless at home against Italy after 20 minutes, struggling to kick from hand, giving away set-piece penalties; 9-3 down to France, with a man in the sin bin; 10-0 down to Australia last autumn after 17 minutes, their opponents with 97% of the territory and 87% of the possession. It goes further back. Down against South Africa earlier in the autumn, six penalties conceded in the first 21 minutes. Two tries conceded in the first 20 minutes in the third of the summer Tests against the Wallabies, 10-0 down after 15 minutes of the first. You might say it doesn't matter. All those games were won. Against Wales in Cardiff England led 8-3 after the first quarter, with 74% of the possession. How could anyone complain when England have won their past 10 Six Nations matches, and are about to take on a team who haven't won in south-west London in 34 years? Jones, all those years of international coaching with four different nations whirring away in his brain, thinks otherwise. Part of that is about standards. This is a team he wants to win the next World Cup in 2019. Give the All Blacks a head-start and you are unlikely to catch them. Part of it is much more short-term: Scotland's revival in Vern Cotter's last year in charge is genuine. They are outsiders once again this weekend, but seldom in those 34 barren years have they travelled in such form. "Mate, if I knew I'd fix it," Jones said when asked this week if he had worked out what was going wrong in those opening exchanges. "And I haven't been able to fix it, so I don't know." "It's something we have been mentioning over the last few weeks," winger Jack Nowell told BBC Sport. "We've got ourselves out of jail a few times now - it is about a fast start, and putting our game on them first." Media playback is not supported on this device England's replacements - the finishers, as Jones likes to call them - have done that jail-breaking to perfection. According to Opta, the men off the bench have created more tries than those of any other nation (three scored, two assisted), made more carries, conceded the fewest turnovers and shipped only one penalty (Scotland's replacements have conceded six, France's seven). It's a wonderful asset for the coach to have. With a bench on Saturday that includes both Vunipola brothers, Jamie George, the returning Anthony Watson and the thundering Ben Te'o, it could be decisive once again this week. It does not mean the starters cannot be expected to match those same standards. Dig a hole often enough, and one day you might not be able to climb out of it. "It becomes a case of, are you riding your luck?" says Paul Grayson, the former England fly-half who is part of BBC Radio 5 live's commentary team at Twickenham this weekend. "The Italy game was as bad an opening quarter as we've seen from an England team under Jones - and that was nothing to do with 'ruckgate' (when Italy's tactic of not committing to rucks befuddled England). They were just nowhere near it mentally. "Maybe that's a timely wake-up call, because when winning becomes supposedly routine, even if you get away with a couple, you've still got to find a way to motivate yourself. If England are not quite there mentally, they look ordinary, and at some point soon they will lose." "England need to start fast," former British and Irish Lions winger Ugo Monye told 5 live's Rugby Union Weekly podcast this week. "They need to get the crowd on their side - three points, six, nine, score a try, shut out Scotland, and put a seed of doubt into their minds. "Scotland come down here with their fanfare and the bagpipes and their confidence, and everyone is aware of their threat, and if it's a close game you might just have the Twickenham crowd turning on their players a little bit." Jones has been in ornery form this week, irascible in his media conferences, hard-nosed with his players on the Pennyhill Park training pitches. "We're preparing to start well," he said irritably when announcing his selection. "We're not preparing not to start well. "It's an 80-minute game. We've got to be ahead at the 80-minute mark, and that's what we're aiming to be against Scotland. "It's like starting a 100m race. You can be ahead at the 10m mark, but you've got to be ahead at the 100m mark." Jones, a self-confessed cricket nut, might enjoy another analogy: a pair of opening batsmen playing and missing on the first morning of a Test match, the opposition fast bowler fired up and the new ball seaming and bouncing past the outside edge. What does it matter if they are 80-3 at lunch if by the close they have put on 300 for the loss of only one more wicket? "Ian McGeechan, when he was coaching Northampton and telling us how he wanted us to play, brought up the example of Wigan's very successful rugby league team," remembers Grayson. "Every team that played Wigan wanted to beat them. They would be totally up for it, and they would go toe-to-toe with them. They got to half-time, and it would be 10-8, or 6-6, or they would only be four points down. "Then they would get into the second half, and as that effort left them tired and weakened, they would roll over and Wigan would score 40 points. "I used to think, what does a game look like after 20 minutes? If I can get some points on the board, great; if they've thrown a few shots and we've had to defend for a while and they haven't got much out of it, no problem, we'll see you in the last 10 minutes of the first half and the last 15 minutes of the contest. "The opposition are always going to be at their most obstinate and most up for it in that period. Yet, barring the Wales game, England haven't had too much flow in attack in the early part of their games. It's always difficult, but if you're the best side in the world, you do it. The All Blacks always manage to come out of the blocks." Such has been the impact of England's replacements that the impression is that Jones has enviable strength in depth. He does - at prop and hooker, at scrum-half, on the wings. With first-choice lock George Kruis out injured and his preferred partner Maro Itoje shifted to six, stand-in second rows Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes have arguably been England's most effective players. But it is not true throughout the team. England's Test cricket team often find themselves early wickets down because they have struggled to replace Andrew Strauss alongside Alastair Cook. They can struggle on turning pitches because no-one who has come into the team has been able to match the impact of world-class spinner Graeme Swann. "Nathan Hughes looks like the Billy Vunipola of three years ago," says Grayson. "Likely to last 50 minutes or do 30 minutes off the bench, do two or three good things but also disappear for a while. "And that makes a massive difference. Take Lawrence Dallaglio out of England's World Cup-winning team and put in another number eight, and what do they look like? They're just not quite as big or powerful or dominant or vocal. "When Dallaglio wasn't playing, England weren't quite the same. And I think that Vunipola is at that point. He's an 80-minute player heading to world class. And they just haven't got that otherwise. "Billy has been out and with Chris Robshaw being out, that's two-thirds of your first-choice back row. That's a huge loss to England, because they don't have that many great back-row players."

It might sound a curiously mealy-mouthed thing to say about a team that have won their past 17 matches and sit atop the Six Nations table with consecutive Grand Slams a genuine possibility, but England's rugby team might have a problem.

Alice Pyne, 17, of Ulverston, died of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2013 after publishing her wish list. Haley McTaggart, 33, admitted getting her charity Alice's Escapes to pay £2,000 for her to go on a trek to Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. McTaggart admitted fraud and was jailed for 10 months suspended for two years. The court also heard how McTaggart sold raffle tickets for a false raffle and never handed over the money. She also told the charity that she was unable to transfer money after the trip to Tanzania. Sentencing McTaggart, Recorder John Corless said she had committed an "unpleasant and serious" offence. Alice's Escapes was founded in 2012 by Miss Payne who 16 at the time. The teenager wanted to provide holidays in Cumbria for seriously ill children and their families. The top item on her bucket list was the hope that everyone in the UK would sign up as a bone marrow donor, an aspiration which Prime Minister David Cameron praised in the House of Commons. It is estimated that about 40,000 people signed up as donors as a direct result of her appeal. Miss Pyne and her sister Milly raised more than £100,000.

A Whitehaven woman who defrauded a charity set up by a teenager dying of cancer who became well-known for her "bucket list" has been sentenced.

The council is consulting on shutting Bodlondeb in Penparcau, Aberystwyth, with the loss of 33 jobs. A report said residents would have to move to other homes - potentially long distances away. The council previously said the building would need significant investment to continue operating. It added it appreciated Bodlondeb was "very important to the people of Aberystwyth and beyond and this is a very sensitive matter for all involved". GMB and Unison, which represent staff at Bodlondeb, said the closure came with "no plan for improving or securing the long term provision of care for the elderly within our community". A consultation is due to run until 25 September and a public meeting is being held on 17 July at Llwyn yr Eos primary school from 19:00 BST. Unison branch secretary Owain Davies said: "It is simply the closure of a well-loved and valued home, in order to help balance a budget that has been cut to the bone - and now into the bone. "At a time when everyone is acknowledging that demands on social care for the elderly are rising, it is absurd for Ceredigion Council to be proposing the closure of its sole remaining residential home in its most populated town, especially as the closure comes with no plans or details as to how the increasing demands are going to be met with less capacity and less facilities." Unison added it recognised the financial difficulties facing the council, but said this proposal was "an inappropriate and inadequate response". Althea Phillips, regional organiser for the GMB, said: "All of the staff at the home are dedicated and hard-working and it is their efforts over the years that has kept Bodlondeb in high regard in the community, they deserve to be treated better than this." A report to the council said the Bodlondeb home has been operating at a loss of nearly £400,000 per year - more than £7,600 per week. The council said there were empty spaces in care homes across the county which reflects the "changing nature of care requirements". A spokeswoman added the council had been meeting regularly with union representatives and Bodlondeb staff.

A council's proposal to shut a Ceredigion care home comes with "no plan" for care provision in the area, unions have said.

Lib Dem Lord Oates accused Labour of being prepared to "concede everything", and the opposition's leader in the Lords, Baroness Smith, responded that his party was giving people "false hope". The two parties had teamed up to help inflict defeats on the government concerning the rights of EU citizens and parliamentary approval for a Brexit deal. But that co-operation went out the window when MPs rejected those amendments - with Lib Dems determined to insist on them and Labour prepared to defer to the Commons. A Labour source in the Lords told the BBC it was "fairly obvious grandstanding" by the Lib Dems, and geared towards content for their campaign leaflets. "It's pretty unforgiveable to build up false hope with people genuinely worried about their future in Britain, when you already know that MPs were ready to dig in behind the government," the source said. For their part, the Lib Dems' Europe spokesperson Baroness Ludford accused Labour of "waving through the government's plans" and "lining up with the Conservatives as they drive forward with a hard Brexit". It's not just on Brexit that the two biggest opposition parties have a track record of forming alliances - they have trooped through the lobbies together to impose government defeats on bills dealing with issues from higher education to housing. Baroness Ludford seemed sanguine about their chances of coming together again, saying: "The Liberal Democrats will continue to work with peers from across the House to fight for the issues we agree on." But the Labour source predicted "residual tensions", adding: "I can't imagine there'll be much demand here to organise a 'progressive consensus summer drinks' gathering. "Our respective leaderships will of course continue to keep things business-like."

There were angry scenes on Monday night as the bill enabling the government to trigger Article 50 cleared the Lords.

Bournemouth's 3-2 win over Swansea on Saturday leaves them 13 points clear of the Premier League drop zone. And the club's third successive league win has helped wipe away any relegation fears from the supporters. "Everyone around us [thinks we are safe] and the fans I heard are singing 'we are staying up'," said King. "But our mentality will not see us take the foot off the gas and relax now," he told BBC Radio Solent. "We do not stop just because everybody from the outside thinks we are safe." The 24-year-old scored his second goal in as many matches against Swansea to take his tally to five for the season. King, who joined the Cherries after leaving Blackburn in the summer, admits he is beginning to feel at home thanks to Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe. "The last few months have been amazing and I have learnt a lot from the manager," continued King. "It's not been easy moving house, moving friends and everything. "I was used to being in one place - in Manchester for seven years - but I am loving life and football at the moment, things are going well for me and especially for the club."

Bournemouth striker Joshua King insists the Cherries will not lose focus on the rest of the season after their priceless win over Swansea City.

The City Council wants to add an extra 700 spaces to the east of the Seacourt site, which currently has 794 spaces in an attempt to ease congestion. Proposals include a new waiting area building and increased cycle parking. The council said it considered relocating to a lower flood-risk zone but had not been able to find a suitable alternative. A spokesman said: "The proposals respond to the rapid growth that is anticipated in the city centre, particularly the west end regeneration area." The site, which serves users entering from the west of the city, has been operating for more than 30 years. Subject to planning consent, work could start in Spring 2016 with the complex anticipated to be open in the Summer of 2017. A public exhibition is being held at the Assembly Room at Oxford's Town Hall. There will be a further session on 19 September at the West Oxford Community Centre.

Plans to expand one of Oxford's Park and Rides into the Green Belt have been unveiled.

Home Secretary Theresa May said the change - from April 2016 - would help cut the number of non-Europeans and their dependants granted settlement each year from 60,000 to 20,000. The pay threshold will apply to people wanting to remain permanently after more than five years working in the UK. Those who don't qualify will be ordered to leave the UK after six years. The pay threshold is the first time that a British government has imposed an economic test on the right to settlement in the UK. For decades, settlement has been granted on the basis of length of time living in - and ties to - the UK, recognising that people who have been living in the country for five years have made it their permanent home. Prime Minister David Cameron says he wants to reduce annual net migration to "tens of thousands" from the current level of around 250,000. It is aiming to bring the figure, which includes students and the families of visa holders, to below 100,000 by 2015 - a year before the latest restriction is due to come into force. In a written statement to Parliament, Mrs May said: "Until now, settlement has been a virtually automatic consequence of five years' residence in the UK as a skilled worker. Those who have settled have tended to be less well paid and lower-skilled than those who have not. "And the volumes of migrant workers settling have reached record levels in recent years." According to official figures, in 1997 fewer than 10,000 migrant workers and their dependants were granted settlement, but by 2010 this had risen to 84,000. Mrs May said: "So in future, we will exercise control to ensure that only the brightest and best remain permanently." The £35,000 earnings threshold will be waived for any "shortage occupations" if official advisers tell ministers that the UK needs more workers with skills or training. Scientists and researchers in PhD level jobs will also be exempt from the earnings test. Nicola Dandridge of Universities UK, said: "The government has responded to the concerns... by exempting PhD-level jobs from the new pay threshold for settlement. "We argued strongly that such international academics and researchers should be made exempt from any pay threshold on the basis that their salaries are not comparable to those of highly skilled migrants working in other sectors. "If we are to continue to produce Nobel Prize-winning research and groundbreaking work, we must offer a welcoming environment to the best academics from around the world." The government says it will also restrict the arrival of foreign domestic workers to those who are travelling with their employers, such as diplomats or business people temporarily working in the UK. Mrs May said: "We recognise that the ODW (overseas domestic worker) routes can at times result in the import of abusive employer/employee relationships to the UK. "It is important that those who use these routes to bring their staff here understand what is and is not acceptable. So we will be strengthening pre-entry measures to ensure that domestic workers and their employers understand their respective rights and responsibilities." Under the new rules, overseas domestic workers who come to the UK with their employer must leave after six months. Those working in diplomats' households can stay for up to five years. The workers will not be able to extend their stay, switch employer, sponsor dependants or seek settlement. Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said of the new salary cap: "People should only be allowed to settle in this country under these rules if they can pay their way, live by our rules and contribute value to our country. We need strict controls, properly enforced, and all of the mainstream parties should agree on that. "However, there is still a massive gap between the Tory-led Government's rhetoric and reality. New rules will have no impact if they are not properly enforced." Migration 'bounce' warning UK Independence Party home affairs spokesman, Gerard Batten MEP, said the government was "posturing" on immigration because any measures cannot apply to EU citizens. He said: "The solution is for Britain to take back control of its immigration policy so that we can decide who we admit, for how long, and under what conditions. We can only do that we leave the EU and repudiate the European Court of Justice." The government says it is making progress towards its plan to cut net migration to tens of thousands a year - the balance between those arriving and those leaving. But on WednesdayOxford University experts predictedthat even if ministers hit the target by the end of the Parliament, net migration could very quickly "bounce" up again. Researchers at the Migration Observatory said current cuts were affecting groups of migrants who were less likely to stay in the UK for the long-term, such as students. In turn, that meant that the UK would start receiving proportionally more migrants who would want to settle for the long-term than leave. If that happened, said the report, migration cuts would "essentially evaporate" following 2015.

Migrant workers will need to earn at least £35,000 to qualify for settlement in the UK, says the Home Office.

Kevin McGuigan Sr was shot dead at his home at Comber Court in the Short Strand on Wednesday. Police believe two men shot him several times in the head and chest at point blank range before running off. The BBC understands the 53-year-old was one of a number of suspects in the murder of Gerard 'Jock' Davison in May. Sinn Féin has denied speculation that Provisional IRA may have been involved in his murder. The DUP said there will be "repercussions" if that is the case. Mr McGuigan, a father-of-nine, was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital but died a short time later. BBC Northern Ireland home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney said Mr McGuigan was killed by two masked men using semi-automatic weapons in a "professional, execution-style killing". Appealing for information, the officer leading the murder investigation said the gunmen were on foot and wearing dark clothing with their faces covered. "We need to hear from anyone who has information about the events of last night, about the movements of the gunmen both leading up to and immediately after the shooting," said Det Ch Insp John McVea. Mr McGuigan had been questioned by police after the murder of Jock Davison in the Markets area of Belfast three months ago. Mr Davison, 47, was a former IRA commander and a former friend of Mr McGuigan. The IRA pair were also founding members of the paramilitary group Direct Action Against Drugs (DAAD), which killed more than a dozen alleged drug dealers. They were later involved in a feud, and Mr McGuigan was shot several times in a so-called punishment attack. It was claimed that Mr Davison gave the order for that attack on his former friend. Det Ch Insp McVea said police were "aware of speculation around a possible motive" for the murder of Mr McGuigan. The detective said that in the investigation into the murder of Mr Davison, Mr McGuigan was questioned "as a potential witness, not a suspect", and this was still the police's position. "Speculation is not helpful and is potentially dangerous," he said. "People should allow the police investigation to take its course and provide any information they have to detectives." However, the police officer did not go as far as entirely ruling him out as a suspect. "I am saying the investigation team into the murder of Jock Davison would remain open minded as to who is responsible," he told a news conference. The detective also appealed for "those with influence in the community to use all their efforts to reduce tension and appeal for calm and restraint at this very difficult time". The victim's elderly mother, Margaret McGuigan, told the BBC that her son's killers would have to live with what they had done. She added there had been "too many murders" in the area and that she hoped her son's would be the last.

A former Provisional IRA member murdered in front of his wife was shot dead in a "ruthless and premeditated killing", police have said.

Croker starts at hooker for the hosts at Twickenham, with Amy Cokayne dropping to the bench. Ciara Griffin is handed her first Six Nations start at flanker for Ireland, while Paula Fitzpatrick moves to number eight and Heather O'Brien to the bench. Experienced fly-half Nora Stapleton comes in for Nikki Caughey, who will provide back-up from the replacements. Ireland, led by Tom Tierney, defeated Wales 21-3 in their opening fixture, but went on to lose 18-6 against France in Perpignan. England won their opening two fixtures, against Scotland and Italy. "Ireland is going to present a tough challenge this weekend and there will be no margin for error," said England's lead coach Scott Bemand. "Recent history testifies that our games have been fiercely contested and, as a group, we are very excited to play at the home." Tierney added: "While the result in France didn't go our way, I thought there were a lot of positives to take from that game and we will be looking to carry them into this fixture. "We made too many unforced errors in Perpignan, so if we can rectify that I think we have got a very good chance on Saturday. "Twickenham is a special place to play, so it will be a great experience for the girls, but it is important that we go there looking to perform and hopefully come away with a result." England women: Katie Mason (Bristol); Lydia Thompson (Worcester), Lauren Cattell (Saracens), Ceri Large (Worcester), Lotte Clapp (Saracens); Amber Reed (Bristol), La Toya Mason (Darlington Mowden Park); Rochelle Clark (Worcester), Emma Croker (Richmond), Vickii Cornborough (Richmond); Abbie Scott (Darlington Mowden Park), Emily Braund (Lichfield); Harriet Millar-Mills (Lichfield), Izzy Noel-Smith (Bristol), Sarah Hunter (Bristol) Replacements: Amy Cokayne (Lichfield), Heather Kerr (Darlington Mowden Park), Bee Dawson (Wasps), Tamara Taylor (Darlington Mowden Park), Poppy Leitch (Bristol), Bianca Blackburn (Worcester), Ruth Laybourn (Darlington Mowden Park), Leanne Riley (Richmond) Ireland women: Niamh Briggs (Munster); Elise O'Byrne-White (Leinster), Aine Donnelly (Leinster), Sene Naoupu (Connacht), Mairead Coyne (Connacht); Nora Stapleton (Leinster), Larissa Muldoon (Skewen); Ruth O'Reilly (Connacht), Cliodhna Moloney (Leinster), Ailis Egan (Leinster); Sophie Spence (Leinster), Marie Louise Reilly (Leinster), Ciara Griffin (Munster), Claire Molloy (Bristol), Paula Fitzpatrick (Toulouse).

The creations will mark the 209th anniversary of the battle during the Napoleonic Wars. The ships will be paraded through the dining hall of HMS Nelson in Portsmouth at the Trafalgar Day dinner.

A Royal Navy chef has spent hours melting chocolate buttons to create a small fleet of ships in commemoration of the Battle of Trafalgar.

Ian Paterson, 59, who appeared at the Court of Appeal via video link, was told his current sentence was "not sufficient" to reflect the seriousness and the totality of his offending. Paterson was found guilty in May at Nottingham Crown Court of 17 counts of wounding with intent. Jurors also convicted him of three further wounding charges. Explaining the decision to increase his jail term, one of the three Appeal Court judges - Lady Justice Hallett - told Paterson his victims had been, "left feeling violated and vulnerable". She described his treatment of patients as "brutal and sustained". "They have lost their trust in others, particularly some in the medical profession," she said. "Some have experienced long-term psychological effects."

A breast surgeon who intentionally wounded his patients has had his 15-year jail term increased to 20 years.

Former actor John Denham, 49, said conversations he had had about it were "fantasy" and he did not think "any of that stuff" would happen. Mr Denham, from Wiltshire, has pleaded guilty to child pornography offences and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child. He and co-accused Matthew Stansfield, 34, deny conspiracy to rape a child. They also deny conspiracy to sexually assault a child under the age of 13. Mr Stansfield, from Hampshire, has pleaded guilty to child pornography offences. The court heard that the alleged plan to rape a baby was to have taken place on 17 January last year in Bedfordshire. However, it did not happen because another man, Robin Hollyson, who had access to the intended victim, had been detained in hospital. Hollyson, 30, has already pleaded guilty to the rape of a child and conspiracy to rape a child during 2013 and 2014. Mr Denham, who has two children and was previously known as Benjamin Harrop, said in court he did not believe the intended victim existed. But he admitted that months afterwards he had watched a video showing Hollyson raping the child. The court has heard how members of a gang raped and abused young children, live streaming the attacks over the internet. The men contacted each other using Skype, video conferencing software and online chatrooms. Mr Denham said he had begun by viewing adult pornography online but after seeing an image of a young teenage girl performing a sex act on a man he became "oddly fascinated" by child pornography. He said he became "desensitised" to what he was seeing on screen and the age range "dropped lower and lower". He said he was "ashamed" of deriving sexual gratification from child pornography and now understood there were "real victims". "It wasn't reality for me at the time," he said. "When I wasn't online and when I was in the real world I viewed children as they should be viewed. I didn't look at them in a sexual way at all." The trial continues.

A paedophile accused of conspiring to rape a baby has told a court in Bristol the alleged plan was "pie in the sky".

Liverpool City Council used a online budget simulator to ask residents about a proposed council tax rise of 5%, plus a further 6% to pay for social care. Joe Anderson said the plan would not go ahead after 57% of respondents said no. He also revealed plans for a Liverpool lottery in his New Year message on his Liverpool Express blog. He said following the "feedback... I will not be proposing to hold a referendum on any additional increase beyond the 4.99% limit set by government". Work was continuing on the full details of the authority's budget, he said, which would then undergo consultation in 2017. He added that he was "surprised and proud that so many, 43%, said yes". "It's a truly heart-warming reminder of how caring our city really is," he said. Green party leader Councillor Tom Crone said the consultation was a "sham exercise". "The weak consultation was never going to secure support for a tax rise," he said. He said the mayor's decision not to hold a referendum meant there would be "tens of millions of pounds more cuts to services in the coming years". Liberal Democrat leader Councillor Richard Kemp, said: "The public were never going to buy it over concern about the waste of existing council tax income." Mr Anderson said the Liverpool lottery card would help local causes, adding that more details of it would be revealed in the coming months. "Liverpool people are amongst the most generous in the country and I believe will support the initiative to help us cope with the growing numbers of people dependent on us," he said. Councillor Kemp said his party would oppose the lottery idea. He said: "The overwhelming evidence is that existing lottery users are already from the most deprived parts of the community. "A new Liverpool lottery will be a tax on the poor to pay for services to the poor."

There will not be a referendum on an additional council tax rise in Liverpool after the results of an online poll, the city's mayor has said.

With all the results now declared, Jac Larner of Cardiff University sums up the night for Wales' five main parties. WELSH LABOUR Labour have exceeded all expectations in Wales. They have outperformed every single Wales-only poll over the course of the campaign - and the exit poll - achieving their highest share of the vote in Wales since 1997. Not only did they successfully defend their 25 seats, but they gained three seats from the Conservatives, taking their total to 28 in Wales. This is their best performance in terms of seat share since 2005, and their best performance in terms of share of the Wales vote since the New Labour landslide of 1997. This extends their run of winning general elections in Wales to 26 in a row. WELSH CONSERVATIVES The Conservatives also saw their vote share increase across Wales by 6.3%, but this was not enough for them to hold off Labour's surge in Wales. Early in the night they were confident about gaining seats in Bridgend, Newport West and in the north east of Wales, so a net loss of 3 seats will be a big disappointment. Historically, the Conservatives have always performed worse in Wales than in England at every election going back to 1859, and this election looks to be no different. PLAID CYMRU It was a strange night for Plaid Cymru that ended in success with the election of their youngest ever MP, Ben Lake. They increased their parliamentary representation, taking Ceredigion from the Liberal Democrats, and their vote held up where they were defending the three seats won in 2015. Their group of four MPs is the party's largest Westminster cohort since the 2001 general election. Yet their vote share fell nationally by 1.7% and they lost votes in their other target seats of Ynys Mon, Llanelli and Rhondda. However, Plaid will view themselves as one of the few winners in this election on a night where smaller parties saw their vote share squeezed across the UK. LIBERAL DEMOCRATS The Liberal Democrats' torrid time at elections in Wales continues. They won their worst ever share of the vote in the party's history in Wales, and lost their solo MP Mark Williams in Ceredigion to Plaid Cymru. With only one AM in Wales, and limited representation in local government in Wales, the Liberal Democrats can no longer be considered to be a significant political player in the country. It is the first time since the founding of one of the Lib Dem's predecessor party, the Liberals, in 1859 that they will have no Westminster representation in Wales. UKIP UKIP's vote share has collapsed considerably across Wales, polling 11.6% less than 2015 after 38 constituencies had been called. Opinion polling across the campaign suggested that around two-thirds of the 2015 UKIP vote would go to the Conservatives. From the results we have seen so far, it seems that a significant proportion of these voters have voted for Labour in Wales.

It has been a dramatic night that has confounded expectations of political parties and commentators.

Bert Davidson, from Hopeman, near Elgin, had not seen his 1929 Humber since he sold it nearly 60 years ago. But a few years ago he was contacted by Robin Wills - whose father had owned the saloon car in the 1960s and 70s - who had tracked it down to America. Mr Wills has since restored the dilapidated car to its former glory. After towing it up to Elgin from his home in Brancepath, County Durham, Mr Davidson once again got a chance to sit behind the wheel. "I had a run around the block in it. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip," Mr Davidson told the BBC News website. "It was a grand motor car and he's done a magnificent job restoring it. The paintwork is in its original colours. The interior is all original. He tried to get me to drive it - but I said 'I'd better not!'" Mr Davidson had first come across the car at an old coachbuilders in Elgin while working at his father's garage following his National Service in 1954. It was under a dustsheet and he asked the owner if he could buy it. "He said 'No laddie, I'm not selling it'," Mr Davidson said. "I asked him again eight weeks later. This went on for two years. Eventually he said I could have it and he asked how much I had in my pocket. I got it for £15 which was a bargain." Mr Davidson restored the car and in 1959 entered it in the Kildrummy Rally, where vehicles travelled from Kildrummy to Aberdeen. He won the vintage class. "I was the only kilted competitor," he said. Eventually, Mr Davidson's father sold his garage and he had nowhere to keep the car so it had to go. "I sold the car to a man from RAF Kinloss or Lossiemouth for £185," Mr Davidson recalled. "I watched him drive away and put it completely out of my mind. That was the last I saw of it until Robin got in touch 55-60 years later. "I was very surprised when he got in touch and I am delighted that I'm going to see the car again." Mr Wills' father bought the car in about 1965 but sold it to a Newcastle car dealer in 1974, when Mr Wills was aged four. The next time Mr Wills saw it, it was when it appeared in the opening credits of the 1976 Likely Lads film. "It's unique because it has an owl on the front, on the top of the radiator," he said. "So I knew it was the same car." Mr Wills' research, which took two years, revealed that the car was later bought by a man who took it to America and it had crossed the Atlantic four times. It was also owned by the man's brother, Lotus designer Martin Waide. However, after its engine blew up in 1979 it was never driven again until Mr Wills brought it back to its former glory. "I used to talk to my dad about the car in my teenage years as I had fond memories of it," he said. "I was delighted and astounded to find it. When I got it back the first thing I did was to open the door, shut my eyes and took a whiff. "It has the original interior. It hasn't been touched in 98 years. The smell was astounding. It was as if I had been transported back to 1974." The Humber had some plaques inside it relating to the Kildrummy Rally. Mr Wills carried out an internet search and found footage of the rally, which included Mr Davidson and the car, on the National Library of Scotland's Moving Image Archive. "I couldn't believe it," he said. "It was as if someone had walked on my grave. It was an incredible experience." He then managed to track Mr Davidson down. "The sense of excitement in his voice was unbelievable," Mr Wills said. "I think he was as excited as I was." The two men discovered they had more in common than the Humber - they also shared the same birthday. For Mr Davidson's 80th, Mr Wills sent him the car's original front number plate which the pensioner had made. "I thought that was great," Mr Davidson said. The journey to northern Scotland with the car on Saturday was wet at times, forcing Mr Wills to make an emergency stop to buy brass polish. "I had to buff up the brasswork. I wanted it to look its best for Bert," he said. "It's been an amazing experience. I feel a bit like Doctor Who, travelling back to meet characters from the past." The Humber's owners, past and present, exchanged gifts - a photo album of the car and a bottle of whisky from Mr Davidson's home town of Elgin.

An 83-year-old man has been reunited with a vintage car he drove in the 1950s, after its current owner tracked him down.

But that requires a very patient man or woman to select the most important periods of play. Now scientists in Spain are trying to make that work easier by getting a computer to do it. The technology is being designed to automatically edit a whole game down to the key moments. The people behind it at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia have been working on it for a few years and have just published 18 pages of exactly how it works. Arnau Raventos is the lead professor on the project. He tells Newsbeat they have "been working with the local television companies in Spain in order to try to make the job easier for the person who manually does the summaries currently." Without having to read the full report (we did that for you) - in short - it analyses what are known as key-frames. So, every part of the match is looked over by the computer to spot tell-tale signs of when something interesting is happening. That might be lots of players grouped together, lots of zoomed-in action, extra noise from the crowd or the sound of the referee's whistle. Arnau calls them "occasions". "We want to find specific combinations of moments in a football match. A goal is an occasion." We thought of an example: if a defender goes down in the penalty box, everyone groups around them, you'll hear a whistle, there's lots of faces in the shot and a penalty happens. In theory, the technology should capture that. There is a long way to go though. The technology could frustrate even the most lukewarm of football fans because it hasn't quite nailed exactly the magic moment - when the goal goes in. In a test on five matches, the technology detected 70 per cent of the total goals. "We need to be sincere," says Arnau. "We need to say that at the moment it's not possible to perform a complete automatic summary just yet. It's difficult to detect all the goals." "However, we think it's very easy to discard those moments that are not important. For example, the panoramic views. They are easy to detect and to discard them so that already makes the job of the editor easier." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube

The group carried out a nine-month investigation into the 53,000 images handed to the opposition by a military police photographer, codenamed Caesar. Researchers interviewed former prisoners, defectors, forensic experts and families of the disappeared. Syria's government and its allies had questioned the images' authenticity. They were first published in January 2014 in a report by three former war crimes prosecutors that was commissioned by Qatar, which supports the political and armed opposition in Syria. In an interview earlier this year, President Bashar al-Assad said: "You can bring photographs from anyone and say this is torture. There is no verification of any of this evidence, so it's all allegations without evidence." But on Wednesday, Human Rights Watch laid out in a new report what it said was new evidence regarding the authenticity of the Caesar photographs, identifying a number of the victims and highlighting some of the key causes of death. The US-based group said it had located and interviewed 33 relatives and friends of 27 victims whose cases researchers verified; 37 former detainees who saw people die in detention; and four defectors who worked in Syrian government detention centres or the military hospitals where most of the photographs were taken. Syria torture report In pictures: Syria accused of torture Using satellite imagery and geolocation techniques, HRW confirmed that some of the photographs of the dead were taken in the courtyard of the 601 Military Hospital in Mezzeh, a western suburb of the capital Damascus. The group also identified a coding system for the cards placed on the bodies. "We have meticulously verified dozens of stories, and we are confident the Caesar photographs present authentic - and damning - evidence of crimes against humanity in Syria," said Nadim Houry, HRW's deputy Middle East director. HRW said its report focused on 28,707 of the 53,275 photos smuggled out of Syria by Caesar that, based on all available information, showed the bodies of at least 6,786 people who died in detention or after being transferred from detention to a military hospital. The remaining photographs are of attack sites or of bodies identified by name as of government soldiers, other combatants, or civilians killed in attacks, explosions or assassination attempts. Most of the victims were detained by just five intelligence agency branches in Damascus, and their bodies were sent to at least two military hospitals in Damascus between May 2011, when Caesar began copying files and smuggling them out of his workplace, and August 2013, when he fled Syria, HRW said. Forensic pathologists from Physicians for Human Rights analysed a subset of the photos, and found evidence of several types of torture, starvation, suffocation, violent blunt force trauma, and in one case, a gunshot wound to the head. Among the 27 victims identified by HRW - all of whose families spent months or years searching for news of their whereabouts, in many cases paying huge sums to contacts and middlemen - were Rehab al-Allawi, a boy who was 14 at the time of his arrest for having an anti-Assad song on his phone, and student Rehab al-Allawi, who was 25 when she was detained while working with an activist group. The former detainees, held in the same places as most of the victims, told HRW that guards kept them in severely overcrowded cells with very little air circulation, gave them so little food that they grew weak, and often denied them the opportunity to wash. Skin diseases and other infectious diseases proliferated, and the detainees said guards denied them adequate medical care. "Many of the former detainees who were held in these nightmarish conditions told us they often wished they would die, rather than continue suffering," Mr Houry said. The Syrian Network for Human Rights, an activist group, has documented the arrest and detention of more than 117,000 people in Syria since the uprising against Mr Assad began in March 2011.

Human Rights Watch says it is confident photos smuggled out of Syria by a defector in 2013 showing 6,786 people who died after detention are authentic.

Media playback is not supported on this device Craig Cathcart put the visitors ahead before substitute Simon Church won and scored an 89th-minute penalty. "There were lots of positives out of it even if we'd have come off and lost 1-0. They had a good mentality and attitude," said Coleman. Wales face another Euro 2016 warm-up game against Ukraine in Kiev on Monday. "We look forward to our next challenge now," added Coleman. "The team will change up again, and we'll see how they go again." Striker Church, currently on loan at Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen from Reading, was delighted with his equaliser from the spot. "Northern Ireland were a tough side to play against. They've obviously done well to get where they are and it was a tough game," he said. "We wanted to do well because it was the last time a Wales crowd would see us before the Euros and we wanted to put in a good performance. "I've just got to keep going now and hopefully score some goals. This is a great squad to be part of."

Wales manager Chris Coleman said he was pleased with his team's performance after they came from behind to draw 1-1 with Northern Ireland in Cardiff.

Talks have been ongoing for the past couple of weeks about the Northern Ireland international, with City having had two offers turned down for a player that West Brom say is not for sale. Evans, who had nine years at Manchester United before joining Albion in 2015, has two years left on his deal. West Brom have also turned down a £10m bid from Leicester for the 29-year-old. Evans joined United as a schoolboy before going on to win three Premier League titles and two League Cups while making 198 appearances. He joined West Brom after being told he did not figure in former United manager Louis van Gaal's plans. Twelve months ago, Arsenal showed an interest in signing Evans but West Brom rejected the approach for their captain. City manager Pep Guardiola said last month he was still hoping to sign another central defender before the transfer window closed. His fourth choice in that position is Eliaquim Mangala, who is not thought to have any long-term future at City. Former Everton winger Pat Nevin speaking to BBC Radio 5 live: Everyone knows Manchester City have a weakness at centre-back. Virgil van Dijk would be the perfect fit but if you don't get him then Jonny Evans, at 29, is probably coming in at his peak. He's comfortable in a two, comfortable with three at the back, and he's not bad on the ball either. I am struggling to find a negative. Just look at the Premier League at the weekend, centre-backs are really hard to find. People say he's not worth it, but there are so few of them around - so of course he is worth it.

Manchester City have had an £18m bid for defender Jonny Evans rejected by Premier League rivals West Brom.

Scientists have found that two types of chemicals called neonicotinoids and coumaphos are interfering with the insect's ability to learn and remember. Experiments revealed that exposure was also lowering brain activity, especially when the two pesticides were used in combination. The research is detailed in two papers in Nature Communications and the Journal of Experimental Biology. But a company that makes the substances said laboratory-based studies did not always apply to bees in the wild. And another report, published by the Defra's Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera), concluded that there was no link between bee health and exposure to neonicotinoids. The government agency carried out a study looking at bumblebees living on the edges of fields treated with the chemicals. Falling numbers Honey bees around the world are facing an uncertain future. They have been hit with a host of diseases, losses of habitat, and in the US the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder has caused numbers to plummet. Now researchers are asking whether pesticides are also playing a role in their decline. To investigate, scientists looked at two common pesticides: neonicotinoids, which are used to control pests on oil seed rape and other crops, and a group of organophosphate chemicals called coumaphos, which are used to kill the Varroa mite, a parasite that attacks the honey bee. Neonicotinoids are used more commonly in Europe, while coumaphos are more often employed in the United States. Work carried out by the University of Dundee, in Scotland, revealed that if the pesticides were applied directly to the brains of the pollinators, they caused a loss of brain activity. Dr Christopher Connolly said: "We found neonicotinoids cause an immediate hyper-activation - so an epileptic type activity - this was proceeded by neuronal inactivation, where the brain goes quiet and cannot communicate any more. The same effects occur when we used organophosphates. "And if we used them together, the effect was additive, so they added to the toxicity: the effect was greater when both were present." Another series of laboratory-based experiments, carried out at Newcastle University, examined the behaviour of the bees. The researchers there found that bees exposed to both pesticides were unable to learn and then remember floral smells associated with a sweet nectar reward - a skill that is essential for bees in search of food. Dr Sally Williamson said: "It would imply that the bees are able to forage less effectively, they are less able to find and learn and remember and then communicate to their hive mates what the good sources of pollen and nectar are." 'No threat' She said that companies that are manufacturing the pesticides should take these findings into account when considering the safety of the chemicals. She explained: "At the moment, the initial tests for bee toxicity are giving the bees an acute dose and then watching them to see if they die. "But because bees do these complex learning tasks, they are very social animals and they have a complex behavioural repertoire, they don't need to be killed outright in order not to be affected." The European Commission recently called for a temporary moratorium on the use of neonicotinoids after a report by the European Food Safety Authority concluded that they posed a high acute risk to pollinators. But 14 out of the 27 EU nations - including the UK and Germany - opposed the ban, and the proposal has now been delayed. Ian Boyd, chief scientist at Defra, said: "Decisions on the use of neonicotinoids must be based on sound scientific evidence." He said that the results of the Fera bumblebee study suggested that the extent of the impact might not be as high as some studies had suggested - and called for "further data based on more realistic field trials is required". Dr Julian Little, communications and government affairs manager at Bayer Crop Science Limited, which makes some of the pesticides, said the findings of laboratory-based studies should not be automatically extrapolated to the field. "If you take an insecticide and you give it directly to an insect, I can guarantee that you will have an effect - I am not at all surprised that this is what you will see," he explained. "What is really important is seeing what happens in real situations - in real fields, in real bee colonies, in real bee hives, with real bee keepers."

Commonly used pesticides are damaging honey bee brains, studies suggest.

The new polymer £5 note, which is slightly smaller than its paper predecessor, will be available in branches before becoming more widely available across Scotland. It continues to feature Sir Walter Scott and The Mound on the front, and a bridge theme on the back. All existing paper Bank of Scotland £5 notes will be gradually withdrawn. However, those that remain in circulation will continue to be accepted at shops, banks and cash payment machines. Bank of Scotland also plans to replace its £10 paper note with a polymer version next year. The new, plastic material is said to be cleaner and more resilient to being crumpled and spilled on. In September, the Bank of England released new £5 plastic notes featuring Winston Churchill on the back. It was the first time a polymer note had been circulated by the Bank of England, but other parts of the UK have already been using the material. Polymer banknotes are made from a very thin, flexible, see-through plastic film, with the design printed on special layers of ink on the front and back. Because the main material is see-through, the design can include clear spots that are like little windows you can look straight through. More than 20 countries around the world already use polymer banknotes - they include Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Last year the Clydesdale Bank brought a fully plastic note into circulation in the UK for the first time with a limited commemorative edition £5 note. As of last week, it entered into full circulation, and has begun to replace the current paper version. The note features Scottish engineering pioneer and entrepreneur Sir William Arrol on the front, along with the Forth Bridge and the Titan Crane. The reverse shows several images of the Forth Bridge. Royal Bank of Scotland's new £5 plastic note is due to enter circulation on 27 October. It will feature Scottish novelist and poet Nan Shepherd. Scientist Mary Somerville has already been selected for the bank's planned £10 polymer note, which is due to enter into circulation next year. They will be the first women to appear on the bank's main issue notes.

The Bank of Scotland's first plastic banknote intended for general circulation is set to be issued.

Mr Hammond dismissed reports of angry rows between the two as "tittle tattle" although he jokingly acknowledged he occasionally swore. Mrs May said she was "focused on 8 June". Mr Hammond and Mrs May were speaking at a press conference they arranged to attack Labour's election manifesto. Taking questions from journalists after claiming Labour's pledges created a multibillion pound "black hole", they were asked about reports of a rift between their offices since the U-turn over National Insurance in March's Budget. Asked by BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg whether they would "still be neighbours" after the general election - the chancellor's official residence is 11 Downing Street - Mrs May said: "I think it's true to say that the chancellor and I and every other member of my team are focused on 8 June." She was also pressed to give an endorsement of her chancellor, replying that she was "very happy to do so". "As Philip says, we have worked together for many years," she said. "Longer than we would care to identify - that's an age-related comment, nothing else." Mr Hammond said he and Mrs May worked "very closely together". He added: "What I candidly admitted - and my family will confirm this - is I do occasionally swear." This morning the chancellor's admission that he sometimes swears, as he sought to play down reports of rows with Team May, won't have helped. Nor will the PM twice refusing to say he would still be her chancellor if she is elected. She did, at the third time of asking give him her endorsement. And moving him after the election if the Tories win would be a dramatic and risky move. But this morning's excursion won't have helped relations between the two addresses. Read Laura's blog

Prime Minister Theresa May has laughed off questions about whether Chancellor Philip Hammond would still be in place after the general election.

A review of homes in Wales said they were seen as places of "irreversible decline" where residents were unable to do things that matter to them. The report was published by the Older People's Commissioner for Wales. The Welsh government said it was already taking action on issues raised in the report, A Place to Call Home? Care Forum Wales, which represents 500 care providers, said the findings support what it has long been saying. Experts in health and social care undertook unannounced visits to 100 care homes across Wales. And more than 2,000 questionnaires were completed by care home residents and their families. The report's key conclusion was: "Too many older people living in care homes quickly become institutionalised. Their personal identity and individuality rapidly diminishes and they have a lack of choice and control over their lives." It looked at residents' social participation, their home environment, diet, staffing and training as well as commissioning, regulation and inspection of services. Commissioner Sarah Rochira called "for action to deliver the change required within our care homes and ensure that quality of life sits at the heart of the delivery of residential and nursing care across Wales". She said: "While my review found excellent examples of truly person-centred care, enabling and empowering care that delivers the very best outcomes for older people, there are significant variations across Wales that result in too many older people living in care homes having an unacceptable quality of life." The review was undertaken using the commissioner's statutory powers which means care providers and public bodies have to act on the findings. Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) chief inspector Imelda Richardson said it had moved away from a tick box culture to focusing on quality of life of people during its inspections of older people's care homes in Wales. She said while the majority of care homes provide good or excellent care, there is "still an unacceptable level of care in some homes". Care Forum Wales chair Mario Kreft said the report did not "fully recognise what is being achieved despite the system". He supported a call for services being commissioned for quality rather than reinforcing a "culture of compliance to the bare minimum". He added: "The commissioning process should be about quality and securing value for money and not about paying the lowest possible price." A Welsh government spokesperson said: "The Welsh government, for its part, is already taking action on many of the areas highlighted in this report through a draft Bill to strengthen the regulation and inspection of social services. "We expect the care sector to consider this report carefully - as the Welsh government will - and reply to the Older People's Commissioner's specific points."

Many older people living in care homes have an "unacceptable quality of life" and quickly become institutionalised, says a watchdog.

A leaked document said a group of organisations, also featuring two local NHS trusts, had come together and was the last remaining bidder in the process. The BBC understands it could be led by private firm Interserve. Pending further discussions, the deal is due to be awarded in December. In the leaked document, clinical commissioning groups said the public-private sector consortium would "bring together a wide range of skills and expertise". Discussions are expected to take place over the coming weeks, before an official proposal is submitted. If successful, the consortium will co-ordinate cancer care - from diagnosis through to treatment - in the county. Outsourcing contracts to cover both cancer and end of life care in Staffordshire were announced last year. Together, they are expected to be worth £1.2bn and cover a 10-year period. The contracts will cover the areas controlled by Stafford and Surrounds, Cannock Chase, Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire CCGs. Trade unions have previously described the involvement of private companies as a "huge gamble". Campaigners are expected to hand over a petition on Thursday against awarding the contracts to the private sector.

A £690m cancer care contract in Staffordshire is expected to be awarded to a consortium including private firms.

Cardiff North MP Jonathan Evans said it was "a tragedy" there was no agreement on who should chair the inquiry, set up after claims of paedophiles operating in Westminster in the 1980s. The Conservative MP said cases should be investigated by the police first. Child abuse survivors have urged the government to scrap the inquiry. Instead, they want it replaced with a more powerful body. It comes after Home Secretary Theresa May told inquiry members their panel might be disbanded. The Met Police said earlier this month that detectives were investigating three alleged murders as part of their investigation into historical child abuse. Mr Evans, who is chairman of the Welsh Tory party and a former deputy chairman of the Welsh NSPCC council, said: "Now I hear that a number of the groups who are representing victims have suggested the whole of the process should be stopped and a different sort of inquiry created. "I don't know exactly what the terms of that inquiry should be and I'm not really sure what they mean by setting up a stronger inquiry because I think the inquiry that was being set up was a pretty strong one." He said ongoing police inquiries introduced a "new dimension", and that they appeared to be proceeding on the basis of new evidence "in which the police have already made it clear to the media that there are real issues that are being investigated". "It seems to me that those police inquiries have got to now take precedence. We ought not to have a situation in which we set up an inquiry and then we can only do half the job because police inquiries are ongoing." Mr Evans, who was a Wales Office minister in the 1990s when the UK government set up the Waterhouse inquiry into abuse allegations at children's homes in north Wales, added: "It seems to me that the police inquiries are now at the forefront." He said Mrs May should not be blamed for delays to the inquiry, which has been held up by the resignation of her first two choices of chairperson. Victims must have confidence in the process, Mr Evans said, "and so the reason we are in the situation we are in is that we are struggling to find a chairman that the victims' groups will have confidence in".

Police investigations into claims of historical child abuse should "take precedence" over a UK government-ordered inquiry, a Welsh MP says.

Some of those residents had only just returned to their homes after last week's eruptions. The latest eruption was less powerful, but sent a large plume of dark grey smoke and ash rising from the crater. Calbuco surprised residents of the Los Lagos region last week by bursting into life after decades of inactivity. The National Geology and Mines Service issued a red alert after Thursday's eruption, warning that the volcano remained unstable. On Friday, residents were warned that heavy rain could mix with ash and rock to produce deadly volcanic mudflows. These "lahars" can slide down volcanoes like avalanches. The BBC's Gideon Long in Santiago says that whereas the ash last week was blown in a north-easterly direction, this time it is drifting south-east over the town of Cochamo. The town has been blanketed in a cloud of smoke and ash. Calbuco is one of the most active volcanoes in Chile, having erupted in 1961 and 1972, and many times before that. Last week's eruptions caused the cancellation of flights to and within Chile, and forced farmers in the area to evacuate their livestock.

Chile's Calbuco volcano has erupted for the third time in eight days, leading the government to order the evacuation of 2,500 people.

The 57-year-old has spent the last 18 years working for the club's academy at their Bodymoor Heath training ground. He had three spells as a Villa player and after ending his career at Burnley, joined the backroom staff in 1998. "All good things must come to an end some day," said Cowans in a prepared club statement. "It is right to make this change at this time. Although I will no longer be turning up to work for this great club, I will remain a lifelong supporter. "Under the guidance of the new owner and his management team, I look forward to many years of supporting Aston Villa from the stands as we start the climb back towards our rightful position as the area's premier football club. "I'd like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to our wonderful fans, who have given me such tremendous support over the years and helped me through the more challenging times in my career. You'll always be in my heart." Cowans also played for Italian Serie A side Bari, Blackburn Rovers, Derby County, Wolves, Sheffield United, Bradford City, Stockport County and finally Burnley in a career totalling 841 appearances. Of those, he made 528 appearances in a Villa shirt - 22 of them as a substitute - and scored 59 goals, 42 of them in the league. Known at Villa Park as 'Sid', he was one of seven ever-presents in their 1980-81 title-winning season, playing all 42 games as Ron Saunders' side remarkably used just 14 players. His son Henry is a member of Championship side Villa's Under-21 side, but is currently on loan at League Two club Stevenage.

Aston Villa have parted company with former midfielder Gordon Cowans, a key member of their 1981 title and 1982 European Cup-winning teams.

The London borough is the UK local authority with the highest rate of HIV. Local councils and charities warn HIV test guidelines may not be implemented in England because of a lack of funds. New guidance from the National Institute for Heath and Care Excellence aims to increase testing in people with undiagnosed HIV in England. The guidance is published to coincide with World Aids Day. It is estimated that 103,700 people are living with HIV in the UK and 17% of people with the virus are unaware of their infection, so risk unintentionally passing it on to their sexual partners. Part of the new NICE guidance focuses on testing for HIV, which is the responsibility of local authorities, where there are high or extremely high rates of HIV. Two-thirds of late HIV diagnoses occur in these areas. Over one-third of the 152 council areas have high rates. The updated guidance recommends all patients in areas with high and extremely high rates of HIV be offered a test on admission to hospital, if they have not previously been diagnosed with HIV and are undergoing a blood test for another reason. In extremely high rate areas, hospitals should offer the tests even if they are not having blood tests as part of their care. GP surgeries in high and extremely high-rate areas should also offer patients an HIV test on registration. NICE also recommends testing community settings in these high rates areas, such as pharmacies, the voluntary sector and venues where there may be high-risk sexual behaviour. HIV experts have strongly welcomed the new guidance but told BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme they are concerned the NICE guidance may not be implemented because of a lack of funds. Dr Chloe Orkin, from the British HIV Association, said prevention was simply not "high" enough on the government's agenda given pubic health budgets are being cut by nearly 4% a year. Councillor Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said achieving what NICE was asking was going to be difficult. "The strain placed on councils by the cuts by central government to public health budgets would make commissioning HIV testing in all surgeries and hospitals in high and extremely high-risk areas an unaffordable burden. "Despite these limited resources, testing those in high-risk areas must always be a priority. Councils are commissioning HIV testing in a variety of settings." But the Department of Health maintained councils had been provided with sufficient funding. Nonetheless, the Elton John Aids Foundation feels councils need help and has offered to fund HIV testing in Lambeth for two years. David Furnish, chairman of the Elton John Aids Foundation, said: "I believe everyone should have an HIV test. We know we can make a difference in Lambeth, but there is no reason why we can't do this in future in other high-rate areas." Jennifer Reiter, of Lambeth Council, added: "We value Elton John Aids Foundation's support and are exploring ways with them to increase access to HIV testing." The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays from 09:00 GMT on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.

The Elton John Aids Foundation has offered to finance HIV testing in Lambeth, the Victoria Derbyshire programme has learned.

In the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, where the threat of attack is considered greatest, the UK, France and Germany have also shut their embassies. The British embassy has emptied completely, with all remaining British staff leaving the country on Tuesday, while the US air force flew out American personnel. So just what is it about al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen that triggers such warning bells in Washington? Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen, is not the biggest offshoot of the late Osama Bin Laden's organisation, nor is it necessarily the most active - there are other, noisier jihadist cells sprawled across Syria and Iraq, engaged in almost daily conflict with fellow Muslims. But Washington considers AQAP to be by far the most dangerous to the West because it has both technical skills and global reach. Plus it is loyal to the nominal al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and what remains of the group's core leadership hiding in Pakistan. For the West, AQAP presents three dangers: AQAP has form. In August 2009, its master bomb-maker Ibrahim al-Asiri, a Saudi national, built an explosive device so hard to detect it was either packed flat next to the wearer's groin or perhaps even concealed inside his body. He then sent his brother Abdullah, a willing volunteer, as a human bomb to blow up the Saudi prince in charge of counter-terrorism. He very nearly succeeded. Pretending he wanted to give himself up, Abdullah al-Asiri fooled Saudi security into letting him get right next to Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef before the device was detonated, possibly remotely by mobile phone. The blast blew the bomber in half, but with most of the explosive force directed downwards, the prince had a miraculous escape with only a damaged hand. AQAP boasted that it would try again and it did. In December 2009, Ibrahim al-Asiri devised another device to put on a volunteer, this time a young Nigerian called Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He was able to fly all the way from Europe to Detroit with a viable explosive device hidden in his underpants, a massive failure of intelligence and security. But when he tried to light it as the plane approached Detroit airport, he was spotted, overpowered, arrested and convicted of the attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. As Western intelligence heads scrambled to assess this new development, the British government decided to raise the UK national terror threat level to "critical", its highest ever. (It has since dropped back down to "substantial", the third highest of five.) The next year, 2010, AQAP tried again, smuggling bombs onto the cargo holds of planes hidden inside printer ink toner cartridges. The intended destination was America and one device got as far as the UK's East Midlands airport. The plot was thwarted at the last minute by a tip-off from a Saudi informer inside AQAP, but the group has promised to keep trying. Since then AQAP's leaders have come under continual attack from unmanned US Reaper drones or UAVs, losing several top operatives, including their deputy leader, Saeed al-Shihri, and the influential English-speaking propagandists Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan. According to the US think-tank the New America Foundation, US drone strikes in Yemen have soared, from 18 in 2011 to 53 in 2012. A drone strike on Tuesday reportedly hit a car carrying four al-Qaeda operatives. In Yemen, the US drones are deeply unpopular, sometimes hitting the wrong targets and wiping out whole extended families. Human rights groups have branded them as a form of extra-judicial killing. Local tribes also view them as an insulting infringement of national sovereignty. But US and Yemeni officials argue that in the wilder, more remote parts of the country, including Shabwa, Marib and Abyan provinces, targeting from the air based on tip-offs on the ground is their only means of stopping those plotting fresh attacks.

Whatever plot the US eavesdroppers overheard the top two al-Qaeda leaders discussing clearly rattled the US intelligence community so badly that Washington shut 19 of its diplomatic missions around the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

As a result, how - and not just whether - a claimant is able to accomplish tasks like walking and planning journeys will help determine the amount they are entitled to in benefits. Claimants who manage the tasks, but not "reliably", will get higher payments. Ministers admitted there were concerns that the proposals were "unclear". The Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will replace the existing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) in April. People who are less mobile will be entitled to higher payments. Campaigners had warned that people deemed capable of walking more than 20 metres could receive lower payments - even if they were unable to do so "safely, reliably, repeatedly and in a reasonable time period". Ministers had previously denied the claim and argued that these words did not need to be written into legally binding regulations. But minister for disabled Esther McVey said on Thursday: "I know that disabled people and their representatives feel strongly that this important concept is set out in law and I am happy to do this." She added: "Our intention has always been the same - we want to target support at those who need it most. "We have always said that we will not just look at whether individuals can carry out activities but also the manner in which they do so." Critics of the government's changes say one third of disabled people live in poverty and an estimated 42% fewer people would be eligible for mobility allowance as a result. In exchanges in the House of Lords last week, Crossbencher Baroness Grey-Thompson, a Paralympic gold medallist, criticised the government for its "lack of consultation with disabled people" about the proposals. Fellow crossbencher Lord Alton has said the fact people will have specially adapted vehicles taken away from them had caused "widespread disbelief and considerable distress". For ministers, Lord Freud conceded: "I have to accept that there was inadequate discussion of the changes and that there is inadequate understanding of them."

Regulations governing eligibility for benefits for disabled people will be changed after criticism of their likely impact, the government has announced.

The women had been legally married for a few months after one of them passed as a man in front of an Islamic cleric who presided over their wedding. But suspicious neighbours confronted the couple and reported them to police. The two women are now back with their families, forcibly separated and under surveillance by the Islamic police. The local Sharia police chief told them Islam said they must be beheaded and burned for what they had done. But Aceh, the only province in Indonesia that is allowed to implement Sharia law, has yet to adopt any provisions dealing with gay and lesbian people. The provincial parliament passed Islamic laws authorising the stoning to death of adulterers and the caning of homosexuals in 2009, but the governor has refused to sign it. Homosexuality is frowned upon but legal in Indonesia. Activists have blamed Aceh's Sharia laws for encouraging vigilantism and intolerance, and say they violate the Indonesian constitution.

Islamic police in the Indonesian province of Aceh have forced two women to have their marriage annulled and sign an agreement to separate.

Cassells, 22, and Scrimgeour clocked six minutes and 29.63 seconds to finish ahead of Denmark and China. The British duo won the title in the non-Olympic class in France last year. Meanwhile Ireland's Olympic silver medallist Paul O'Donovan, 22, won his lightweight single sculls semi-final. The Skibbereen man, who clinched Olympic silver in the lightweight double sculls in Rio with his brother Gary, produced a strong late burst to come from fourth at the halfway stage to win his semi-final in 6:51.71. Slovenian Rajko Hrvat finished second in 6:52.31 with Germany's Konstantin Steinhuebel clinching the third qualifying spot for Saturday's final. The Rotterdam championships features non-Olympic classes. Irish duo Mark O'Donovan and Shane O'Driscoll will compete against Cassells and Scrimgeour in Saturday's lightweight pairs final after finishing second in their semi-final behind the French boat. The British pair were the fastest qualifiers for final, ahead of the Danes (6:30.12) and France (6:30.56), while the Irish duo next quickest in 6:32.18. After winning gold in their class at last year's World Championships in France, Cassells and Scrimgeour retained the European title in Brandenburg in May.

Coleraine rower Joel Cassells and Great Britain team-mate Sam Scrimgeour remain on course to defend their lightweight pairs world title after winning their semi-final in Rotterdam on Thursday.

Critics say the new contract involves pay cuts of up to 30%, with "normal hours" extended to include 7am to 10pm on every day except Sunday. The British Medical Association said the ballot reflected doctors' anger. But the government described the current contracts as "outdated" and "unfair". The BMA said the sticking point was over NHS employers' refusal to budge on classifying Saturday shifts in the same way as weekday ones. Junior doctors get extra payments for work outside "normal hours" - which are currently classified as 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday. Chair of the BMA's UK junior doctors committee, Dr Johann Malawana, said it wanted a contract that protected patient safety and was "fair to both junior doctors and the health service as a whole". "We can only do this if the government is prepared to work collaboratively in a genuine negotiation. Unfortunately, they have chosen to ride roughshod over the concerns of doctors with their threat of imposition." A Department of Health spokesman said "We really value the work and commitment of junior doctors, but their current contract is outdated and unfair - the best way of changing that is negotiation." Danny Mortimer, Chief Executive, NHS Employers said: "Imposing a contract is not the preferred solution of any party - the door is still open for the BMA to come back to the negotiating table and we urge them to do so." Analysis: Hugh Pym, BBC health editor In 2012, the Department of Health called for changes to a junior doctors' contract which dated back to the late 1990s. The BMA agreed to discuss terms and conditions for their members. After two years of talks, negotiations broke down. In August this year, the BMA refused to go back to the negotiating table, accusing the government of a "heavy-handed" approach, and ministers then said a new contract would be imposed. The Scottish and Welsh administrations, however, have said they will continue with current arrangements. The case for contract reform surrounds apparent inconsistencies in what is described to be a highly complex system which can result in varied working hours in different trusts. A more transparent system and with payment linked to responsibilities is what the employers claim to be seeking. This would involve higher basic rates of pay than now, which would mean higher pension entitlements. While NHS employers acknowledge some doctors would lose out, they argue that some would gain. Correction 9 October 2015: This report has been amended to clarify that rather than overtime rates being scrapped, doctors' "normal hours" are being extended.

Junior doctors in England are to be balloted on industrial action over government plans to introduce a new contract from August 2016.

Pae Jun-ho, known in the US as Kenneth Bae, smuggled anti-government materials and plotted the state's downfall, a Supreme Court spokesman told state news agency KCNA. He denied Mr Bae was being used as a "political bargaining chip" with the US. Mr Bae was detained last year after entering North Korea as a tourist. North Korea has arrested several US citizens in recent years, including journalists and Christians accused of proselytism. They were released after intervention from high-profile American figures, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, both of whom went to Pyongyang. The court spokesman told KCNA that Mr Bae was "dispatched to China as a missionary". There he was involved in setting up "plot-breeding bases" from which he "infiltrated at least 250 students" into the North Korean port city of Rason with the aim of "bringing the government down". US citizens held by N Korea "He committed such hostile acts as egging on overseas [North Korean] citizens and foreigners to perpetrate hostile acts to bring down its government while conducting a malignant smear campaign," he said. He added Mr Bae's full confession was the reason why he did not receive a possible death sentence. "He dared commit such hideous crimes as hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership," he said. The spokesman denied that Mr Bae was "not tried in a transparent matter and [the North] was trying to use this issue as a political bargaining chip". Mr Bae, 44, was arrested in November as he entered Rason, a special economic zone near North Korea's border with China. South Korea activists believe he was arrested for taking pictures of starving children. Other reports have described him as a devout Christian. His conviction on 30 April came amid high tension between the US and North Korea, after Pyongyang's third nuclear test. The UN expanded sanctions against the communist state in March, in the wake of its 12 February nuclear test and December long-range rocket launch. Pyongyang reacted angrily both to the measures and the annual US-South Korea military exercises, threatening to attack US military bases and cutting key hotlines with its southern neighbour.

North Korea has released details of the alleged crimes of a US man it sentenced to 15 years of hard labour.

The Latics are seven points from safety with six games remaining including tough trips to Brighton and Reading. David McGoldrick put Ipswich ahead midway through the first half, slotting in Myles Kenlock's pass, before Freddie Sears raced clear to double the lead. Wigan improved after the break, Bartosz Bialkowski saving brilliantly from Ryan Colclough and Alex Gilbey, but Sears pounced late on to make it 3-0. The win relieved some of the pressure on Town boss Mick McCarthy, following seven draws in their last eight matches, and they are now nine points clear of the relegation zone. A lack of goals has been one of the Tractor Boys' main issues this campaign, with only Wigan and Rotherham scoring fewer, but striker McGoldrick ended a 15-game drought to set the ball rolling. It was the Republic of Ireland international's first goal since netting the winner in the reverse fixture on 17 December. Sears has also been struggling to score this campaign, but the former West Ham forward showed superb composure to fire past Matt Gilks for his fourth goal of the season. His second had an air of fortune as Gilks saved his first effort, which then fell at his feet for an easy tap-in - but the game was already over at that point. With an average of 49 points keeping teams in the second tier since three points were introduced for a win in the early 1980s, the Latics, on 34 points, may need to win five of their last six matches to avoid an immediate return to League One. Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "I am delighted about the result and the performance and also a little bit relieved about the fact we got three points and other results went for us. "I thought David McGoldrick and Freddie Sears epitomised our performance, but I am also not going to just sit here crowing about everything. "At the start of the second half, it seemed we were conspiring to give them a goal and our fabulous goalkeeper made sure it wasn't 2-1 - though I think we deserved the 3-0 win." Wigan interim manager Graham Barrow: "The scoreline was fair as we gave them all three goals - but for Matt Gilks in goal, it could have been much worse. "I am not even going to pretend that was okay. It was suicidal stuff, real kamikaze football and I do personally feel let down. "Things were said in the dressing room, but they will stay in the dressing room, but the club, supporters and staff don't deserve that kind of performance. Our defending has actually been quite sound this season but all of a sudden that went up in smoke." Match ends, Ipswich Town 3, Wigan Athletic 0. Second Half ends, Ipswich Town 3, Wigan Athletic 0.

Government limits to teachers' pay and "real terms cuts" to school budgets risk undermining standards, they warn. "Teachers need a pay rise," they urge, in a joint statement to the School Teachers' Review Body (STRB), which sets their pay. The government said it was attracting "the best and brightest" to teaching. Teachers' pay increases have been limited to 1% or less for the past five years, and the government aims to keep to this limit for the next four years. With long, hard working hours and a relatively low starting salary for a graduate, it is hardly surprising that teacher recruitment is struggling. Qualified teachers in England can expect to start on £22,000 outside London or £27,000 in inner London. In most cases, this is after post-graduate training, a year's school placement and a degree course. And although there is room for growth and progression - based on performance of course - many newly-qualified teachers find the pressures of the job too much and leave soon after taking their first post. Teachers in England have some of the longest hours and largest classes in the developed world, says the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Teaching unions have complained that although their staff were promised a 1% pay rise, this has had to be found from within existing school budgets. Head teachers say school budgets are already at breaking point as they struggle to deal with other inflationary pressures. But the DfE maintains new trainees can benefit from financial support, a good salary, enviable job security and a generous pension. In October, England's education secretary, Nicky Morgan, wrote to the STRB to remind them of this policy. But the joint statement warns that "as pay and prospects improve in comparable occupations", further pressure will be placed on teacher recruitment and retention. This means more children will be taught by teachers who are not specialist in the subjects they teach, it adds. With budgets "at breaking point", schools will struggle to maintain current spending - "let alone afford pay increases", it continues. "The government must fully fund the necessary pay increases for teachers and school leaders in both England and Wales." The six unions are: Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, described four more years of pay austerity as a "false economy". Kevin Courtney, deputy general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said teachers "are already leaving in droves and new graduates looking elsewhere for a career". Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, claimed 160,000 more teachers would be needed over three years to cope with a rapid increase in pupil numbers. But she warned unless the picture improved the government would have little chance of meeting this target. "Schools will have to start increasing class sizes or shutting courses and cutting the subject options available to pupils". And Elaine Edwards, UCAC's general secretary urged the government to reconsider its pay policies "for the sake of our children and young people and the education system as a whole". The STRB is expected to make its recommendations on teachers' pay in April. A Department for Education spokeswoman said it had worked with the profession to "raise the status of teaching", adding that that a record number of highly-qualified graduates and "experienced career changers" were now teaching. She added: "But we are determined to go further, and recognise that some schools find it harder to recruit the teachers they need, which is why we are expanding the great Teach First and Schools Direct programmes and we are launching the National Teaching Service, which will mean more great teachers in schools in every corner of the country."

A "national crisis" in teacher numbers is looming, six unions representing teachers and school leaders in England and Wales have warned.

Police are investigating events linked to the funeral and wake of the mother of INLA man Patsy O'Hara, who died in the 1981 hunger strike. Dozens of people wearing military-style uniform, berets and dark glasses attended the funeral in Londonderry. Unionist politicians criticised the paramilitary display at the funeral in Londonderry on Saturday. But Edel Kelly said it was what her grandmother wanted. "She meant the world to me, to my sisters and my brothers as well and to a whole lot of people in Derry, because everyone knew Peggy O'Hara," Ms Kelly said. "My granny organised everything herself before her death, she wanted what happened at the wake and she wanted what happened at the funeral." It was reported earlier this week that shots were fired over Mrs O'Hara's coffin. The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) is a republican paramilitary group believed to have been responsible for more than 120 murders from its formation in 1975 until its ceasefire in 1998. Ms Kelly defended the paramilitary theme of the funeral and she also criticised deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. After the funeral, he had tweeted: "Honoured to attend Peggy O'Hara's funeral Mass this morning. Masked men parading after did little to respect the memory of such a good woman." But Ms Kelly disagreed. "I'm just speaking from my granny's point of view because I knew what her feelings on Martin McGuinness were. He's actually disrespecting her as the mother of a hunger striker. "It's something that my granny wanted. If he's condemning that, then he's condemning the wishes of my granny. "If it happened in their tradition I would have no problem with that. Patsy O'Hara died. He gave his life for Ireland." DUP East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell was critical of the police response at Mrs O'Hara's funeral. "Despite our efforts with the police, it would seem that there were no visible signs of police in close proximity to the funeral cortege on Saturday," he said. "Men and women dressed in paramilitary garb with faces covered were free to march, for almost two miles, around the streets of Londonderry." Ulster Unionist Ross Hussey said people would expect to see convictions "after this brazen display of paramilitary thuggery". Responding to the criticism, PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Will Kerr said the nature of their operations are made on a cases by case basis. "There is no 'one size fits all' approach however where offences are disclosed they will always be investigated. "These sorts of displays and paramilitarism have no place in a modern Northern Ireland. "We absolutely reject any suggestion of bias in policing. Such remarks are inaccurate, unhelpful and ill-informed." Edel Kelly believes her grandmother's death is being used a political football. "As we walked along from Longtower chapel, down past where we used to live in Ardfoyle where Peggy brought us up, everybody on Bishop Street came out and blessed themselves. "We didn't go through any contentious areas, it wasn't about that. It was about honouring my granny and the suffering that she's gone through all these years. "They shouldn't be bringing this into politics."

The granddaughter of veteran republican Peggy O'Hara has defended a paramilitary display at her funeral.

Macy's said like-for-like sales fell 4.6% in the first quarter compared with the same period last year. The decline sent shares in Macy's, which also owns Bloomingdales, down 17% on Thursday. At Kohl's, like-for-like sales slid 2.7% and were down 0.8% at Nordstrom. Shares fell close to 8% for both retailers, while Sears sank almost 10% Hudson's Bay Co, which owns chains including Saks Fifth Avenue, said its same-store sales fell 2.9%. Jeff Gennette, Macy's chief executive, said the company was well aware of the challenges it faced. "These are unusual and challenging times for retail, especially for mall-based stores. We certainly know these changes that we're seeing are ... not cyclical," he said. Some analysts said the decline in department store sales point to broader weakness in consumer spending - a key driver of economic growth. "It's a gut check about the health of the consumer," said Phil Blancato at Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management. "It's a canary in the coal mine moment." Retailers 'left behind' as consumers change habits How long will you wait for a shopping website to load? The US Commerce Department will release retail sales figures on Friday that are expected to further underline online sales growth outstripping those at brick-and-mortar stores. Nordstrom, which has more than 340 stores in the US and Canada, said about a quarter of sales in the three months to March were online. It has tried to counter the rise of rival online retailers by opening more of its discount Rack stores, investing in the popular online menswear brand Bonobos and other tweaks such as speeding up its website. Macy's is adding discount areas to its stores, striking deals to stock exclusive fashion lines, and making it easier for customers to try on shoes without a sales assistant. Macy's chief financial officer, Karen Hoguet, said putting collection points for online purchases at the front of the store - rather than forcing customers to find their way to a counter at the back - has actually boosted sales. Mr Gennette, who took over in March, said Macy's hoped to introduce a new store format next year, but the company is still forecasting a fall in sales for the full year. "How and when will you grow again is what's been on your mind," he told analysts. "We certainly don't have the answers yet, but we're working on them with great urgency." Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, said Macy's now has a "better sense of direction" than it once did, but added: "However, the distance it needs to travel over the next few years is enormous. "We question whether the company is bold, nimble or healthy enough to cover such ground." Macy's profits fell 39% to $71m in the quarter compared with the same period last year.

Weaker-than-expected sales at several US department store chains reignited concerns about the US retail sector and prompted investors to offload shares.

Generations of James Bond fans have cheered 007 as he shoots and sleeps his way through a world of sinister villains and exotic women. The image is hi-tech, violent, romantic and more than a little cynical. It's a world-beating brand, but one today's spymasters are doing their best to keep at arm's length. And so, for the first time, MI6, officially known as the Secret Intelligence Service, is taking on the Bond image on 007's home turf - the silver screen. On Monday, MI6 launches its first ever cinema advert, aimed at attracting different types of candidate. A young woman of ethnically indeterminate background is shown demonstrating people skills and emotional intelligence in a range of everyday situations. This woman, we're told, does not work for MI6. "But she could," the advert concludes. Steely-eyed, white male killers, it seems, need not apply. "There is a perception out there that we want [Bond actor] Daniel Craig, or Daniel Craig on steroids," the SIS' current head of recruitment told the Guardian. "He would not get into MI6," says the recruitment chief, identified only as Sarah. Recruiters have long worried about the pervasiveness of the image first portrayed in the pages of Ian Fleming's novels and then seared into public consciousness via the biggest movie franchise of all time. The aim of the advert is to wean the public off this grotesquely misleading stereotype. According to the accompanying press release, the advert aims "to attract people who rule themselves out of a career in MI6 based on their misconceptions about the agency." It sounds like a long shot, but those behind it seem optimistic. "The whole point," Sarah says, "is about getting people who would never, ever think of joining." "People tend to deselect themselves," adds Mark, head of HR. "We want to prevent that. We want the service to be representative, but also to draw in the capabilities of the workforce at large." It's part of a continuing drive to recruit from the widest, most diverse cross-section of society, with a particular focus on women and ethnic minorities, both still under represented in the service. Another aspect of new effort sees a return of the old "tap on the shoulder" method employed for decades, mostly in the cloisters of Oxford and Cambridge universities. But if the method will be the same, the locations will be different. "Diverse organisations," is how Mark puts it, without elaborating. Some say that the agency's elite image may be punctured by the revelation that a 2:2 degree will make you eligible. Mark says work experience in other sectors is sometimes just as important as a good degree. Other recruiting tactics display a little playfully appropriate subterfuge to seek out those with interpersonal skills and the ability to influence people. Unbranded fliers invite you to click on goodwithpeople.uk and take a series of tests. Only those who succeed in the online games find out that they have what it takes for a life in the intelligence services. This correspondent scored well on the "emotion detector", but not so well on the "human polygraph". And when it came to the "mind changer," I failed a text message exercise designed to persuade a friend to attend a surprise party. I have not been invited to join MI6. The advert will run for a month, in cinemas in London, the West Midlands and north west England, partly reflecting the sort of urban areas recruiters look to but also the fact that MI6 can't afford a nationwide release. And will it be shown in cinemas where Bond or similar spy capers are showing? Emphatically not.

Cinemagoers may think they already know what it takes to be a spy.

The world number two won 6-2 6-0 in 66 minutes and will next play Rafael Nadal, who beat Stan Wawrinka 6-1 6-4. It was a much improved performance from Murray, who broke 10th seed Raonic's serve five times. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Roger Federer 6-3 2-6 7-5, and fellow Frenchman Gael Monfils beat Marcel Granollers 6-2 6-4. "It's the most challenging surface for me every year," said Murray. "It normally takes me a few weeks to remember what I need to do, how to move, the way to build up the points and making sure you don't rush." Murray needed almost three hours to beat Benoit Paire on Thursday and had struggled for form since the Australian Open in January - but he was close to his best against Raonic. The Scot, 28, dominated all aspects of the game but was especially aggressive on the return, denying the big-serving Raonic a single ace and breaking five times. "The two most important shots in tennis I did really well," added Murray. "I was getting a good read on the serve and, when he missed the first serve, I was being very offensive on the second serve return and putting him under pressure. "The serve and the return for me were the best they've been for a while and I'm glad, because they weren't so strong the last couple of matches." Jamie Murray boosted his hopes of hanging on to the doubles world number one spot for a while longer as he and Brazil's Bruno Soares reached the semi-finals. The pair beat sixth seeds Rohan Bopanna and Florin Mergea 6-2 6-3, despite Murray requiring treatment on his thigh at one stage. Murray leads Marcelo Melo by just five points in the rankings and will face the Brazilian, and partner Ivan Dodig of Croatia, in the last four on Saturday. Andy Murray and Dom Inglot had a match point but could not convert as they lost 6-4 3-6 12-10 to France's in-form Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues. Never want to miss the latest tennis news?

Bower has made 52 appearances for Warriors in all competitions since joining from Leicester Tigers in 2014. Details of the length of the 26-year-old's new contract at Sixways have not been disclosed. "He always gives everything he's got and I've been thoroughly impressed with his attitude and his performance," director of rugby Gary Gold said.

Worcester Warriors loose-head prop Ryan Bower has signed a new contract with the Premiership club.

She had the "biggest year of her career", playing 95 shows, bringing in an average $2.4m (£1.5m) per city, according to Forbes. Endorsement deals with companies like Pepsi and H&M, along with the surprise album she released in December 2013, helped her to the top spot. The self-titled album was released on iTunes with no prior promotion. Beyonce has just announced she'll be releasing a platinum version of that album later this month, which will include new songs and a concert video. Source: Forbes Taylor Swift came in second on the Forbes list, taking home an estimated $64m (£40m). Completing the top three is Pink, who played 85 dates during the time period Forbes used to make its estimates. Her earnings were valued at $52m (£32.5m). Other artists on the list include Rihanna in fourth with $48m (£30m) and Katy Perry, who took home $40m (£25m), in fifth. Forbes calculated earnings by looking at income from "touring, record sales, publishing, merchandise sales, endorsements and other ventures" between June 2013 and June 2014. They also interviewed managers, lawyers and executives and looked at data from organisations such as Nielsen SoundScan. Some of the high-profile artists who missed out on a spot in the top 10 included Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Alicia Keys. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube

Taking home more than $115m (£72m) has made Beyonce this year's best paid woman in music.

Manager Neil Warnock has made it clear he will give the midfielder time to mull over the new deal on offer. "If they want to consider it for a length of time, that is all right for me. I think you have to show respect to Peter," said Warnock. Whittingham, 32, celebrated ten years at the club last month. His current contract is due to expire this summer. Warnock said: "He has an offer on the table. It is down to them now really. I spoke to his agent again this morning on the way in. "I think we have to leave that down to Peter. Obviously negotiations are to and fro, but the offer is on the table and will stay on the table. "I said to them I am not in a rush, the offer is on the table, I won't withdraw the offer." Whittingham opened the scoring in the Bluebirds 2-0 win over Preston. He will be looking for the chance to add to his tally against Norwich City, in Saturday's Championship clash in the Welsh capital. Warnock has made it clear Wales international Emyr Huws and fellow midfielder Stuart O'Keefe are not in his long term plans. Huws went on loan to Ipswich on deadline day while O'Keefe also made a loan move to League One side MK Dons.

Cardiff City are waiting to discover if midfielder Peter Whittingham will sign a new contract.

Cameroon's Ekeng died aged 26 of a suspected heart attack after collapsing on the pitch during a match on Friday. Thirteen-time winners Dinamo face CFR Cluj in the postponed final on 17 May. "If we win the final, the trophy will be sent to Cameroon, where it will be placed on Patrick's grave," said sporting director Ionel Danciulescu. Danciulescu told Romanian TV channel Digi Sport that Dinamo would ask Cluj to do the same if they win. The final, scheduled to be played on Tuesday 10 May, was postponed following Ekeng's death. Ekeng fell to the ground in the 70th minute of the televised Romanian league match against Viitorul and was pronounced dead in hospital two hours later. Two days later Cameroon women's goalkeeper Jeanine Christelle Djomnang, 26, died after collapsing during a warm-up session.

Dinamo Bucharest will honour the memory of midfielder Patrick Ekeng by sending the Romanian Cup to his family in Cameroon if they win the trophy.

Since 2014 Libya has had two rival parliaments - an Islamist-backed one in Tripoli and an internationally recognised government in the east. However, several MPs on both sides of the divide have described the latest announcement as premature. Both parliaments must back the deal. UN envoy Bernardino Leon told a news conference in Morocco that Fayez Sarraj would be nominated as prime minister. Abdulsalam Bilashahir, of the Tripoli-based General National Congress (GNC), told the BBC: "We are not a part of this [proposed] government. It means nothing to us and we were not consulted." Ibrahim Alzaghiat, of the House of Representatives (HoR), based in Tobruk, said: "This proposed government will lead to the division of Libya and will turn it into a joke. Mr Leon's choice was unwise." MPs from rival camps appear to be finding rare common ground over their dismissal of the UN proposal, saying it is premature. The rival parliaments have not even accepted the political agreement that embodies the proposed unity government, so announcing the names appeared rushed. The UN pushed for it because there were still objections to the wider deal and mediators worried that talks would collapse. But there is a danger that this latest move will backfire. Civilians are frustrated with the dangerous and chaotic realities ruling their lives. It is unlikely they are waking up more hopeful today. Why is Libya lawless? Who wants what in Libya? However, Mr Leon said he believed that the list of proposed ministers for the unity body "can work". Speaking in the Moroccan city of Skhirat, where the talks have been taking place, Mr Leon said: "After a year of work in this process, after working with more than 150 Libyan personalities from all the regions, finally the moment has come in which we can propose a national unity government," "All of them will work as a team," he added. Other posts in the proposed government include three deputies for the prime minister to represent Libya's east, west and south. One of the proposed deputy prime ministers, Mussa al-Kouni, said: "The hardest part has just begun." A loose alliance of militias, including Islamists, seized the capital, Tripoli, in August 2014 and reinstated the GNC, forcing the existing and internationally recognised government to flee to the eastern city of Tobruk. Libya's politicians have faced increasing pressure from the West to reach agreement on a unity government. Libya has suffered years of unrest since the overthrow of dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The violence and political chaos have allowed Islamist militants to gain ground in Libya and also seen human traffickers use the Libyan coast to send tens of thousands of migrants across the Mediterranean to Europe.

The United Nations envoy for Libya has proposed the formation of a national unity government, after months of difficult talks.

Though the unverified story was short on details, and did not have the husband's side of the story, "divorced because of fat face" quickly became a top trend on microblogging network Weibo. State media picked up the story on Thursday, which was first reported in a local evening paper earlier this week. Liaoshen Wanbao reported the 49-year-old woman in Shenyang city had claimed her husband had divorced her 10 years ago because he disliked the shape of her face, said to be "large and square" with "fat cheeks". She said it spurred her to undergo facial surgery three times at a local hospital to shave her jawbones and reshape her face into a slimmer shape. During the third surgery the doctors discovered that if they proceeded further her nerves may be damaged, and halted the procedure. The woman, identified only by her surname Wang, later sued the hospital for 1.7 million yuan ($260,900; £183,900) in damages. She alleged the surgery had left her with soreness in her chin, and she could only eat and drink through a straw as "when she exerted force on her lower jaw, she had the sensation that it would break". The hospital, however, argued that the surgeries were conducted according to regulations, and pointed out that they encouraged her to seek psychiatric help instead of a third operation, which she refused. After mediation the woman agreed to accept 20,000 yuan ($3,100, £2,200) as compensation, said the report. On Weibo, some condemned the woman's husband, but others also chastised the woman. One top-voted comment read: "It's purely an excuse, if her face was large then why did he decide to marry her in the first place? If he stopped loving her then he should have just said so." It continued: "This woman is also very silly to have believed that her face shape was the real reason for the divorce, she is lying to herself." Said another Weibo user: "Even if you had gone for facial surgery and made your face smaller, he would still have found other reasons to divorce you." One person noted the sharp difference in the compensation amount and voiced suspicions: "1.7 million was dropped to 20,000, it makes me wonder if she really did have a problem with her jaw." Still others took the opportunity to crack jokes. "What an odd reason for divorce! I wonder how square was this woman's square-shaped face? Like a television set? Microwave oven?" Plastic surgery has long been a hot topic on Weibo. In December, users similarly expressed outrage when a Chinese man took out a newspaper advertisement pleading for his wife to go for plastic surgery. More than seven million cosmetic surgeries were performed in China in 2014. The industry's value, pegged at around 400bn yuan, is expected to double by 2019, according to the China Association of Plastics and Aesthetics.

A report about a woman who said she had repeated plastic surgery after her husband divorced her because she had a "fat face" has sparked outrage among China's online community.

Police said the 29-year-old man was attacked at the Gorbals venue's Island Bar at about 01:30. He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital but was released after treatment. His attacker was white, in his late teens to early 20s, between 5ft 7in and 6ft tall, with short, dark hair. He was wearing a white polo shirt and light-coloured knee-length shorts. Det Con Lee-Anne Miller, of Police Scotland, said: "The injured man was standing in the bar area when he became involved in an altercation with the suspect which then led to a fight in which he was stabbed. "Thankfully no-one else was injured but with the number of people about, this could have escalated quite easily. "We are working with staff from the venue, who quickly stepped in to stop the fight, and we are checking CCTV inside the premises to identify the person responsible for the attack." She added: "The gig was packed at the time of the assault and a number of people have been spoken to regarding what they saw, however, I am still keen that anyone who witnessed the incident contact police."

A man has been stabbed in a bar at the 02 Academy in Glasgow.

"It's great that we are attracting players of Mandy's calibre to the club," manager Kelly Chambers said. "Mandy will add to our young squad." Centre-back Van den Berg, 26, led her country at the 2015 World Cup in Canada and has been capped 75 times. She played 13 times for Liverpool this season as they finished fifth in Women's Super League 1.

Netherlands captain Mandy van den Berg has joined Reading Women from Liverpool on a permanent deal.

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

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

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

A 30ft (9m) decomposed whale washed up on the beach at Felixstowe on Sunday and the body of a minke whale was spotted near Orford on Saturday. Scientists from the Cetaceans Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) say there is now a third dead whale off the coast. They do not think the deaths are linked. The third whale floating off the Suffolk coast is thought to be a sperm whale, Rob Deaville, from CSIP, said. More on this and other news from Suffolk He believes the whale on the beach at Felixstowe is a fin whale and a large injury on its body is the result of it being struck by a vessel "some time ago, perhaps hundreds of miles away". CSIP - which attends cases of whales, porpoises and dolphins that become stranded on the UK coastline - is currently examining the Felixstowe whale. It is too decomposed to carry out a full post-mortem test but samples have been taken to assist with analysis in terms of whale population, Mr Deaville said. The Orford whale stranded on mud flats on the tidal River Ore will be "tricky to get to", Mr Deaville said. However, he does not believe the deaths are in any way related. "Three very different species, and in my opinion, they're not linked," he said. "It's a series of coincidental events. "We see hundreds of strandings a year, it just happens that these three are in close proximity." A spokeswoman for Suffolk Coastal and Waveney Councils said contractors were expected to remove the whale from the beach at Felixstowe on Wednesday. It is not yet known when the body of the Orford whale will be moved.

A third dead whale has been found by experts investigating the deaths of two others found along the Suffolk coast.

The claim: Anyone can win £50 million by correctly predicting the result of all 51 games in the Euro 2016 football championships. Vote Leave says this figure represents the amount of money the UK sends to the EU every day. Reality Check verdict: Unlikely anyone could win this prize. The odds of winning are only slightly better than the odds of guessing the mobile phone numbers of the next two strangers you see in the street. The UK does not send £50 million a day to the EU. But, as the Reality Check team have been finding out, the chances of winning are staggeringly small. There are a total of 36 games in the group stage of the tournament and 15 knockout matches. The odds of correctly forecasting all 51 games randomly are a sextillion to one. Now, your in-depth knowledge of European football may tip the odds more in your favour, but remember you also have to guess which teams will qualify from the group stages. The finals feature 24 teams for the first time and with 16 of them qualifying for the first knockout round, the results are harder to predict. Even if you had a 70% chance of getting each one right, the odds are probably about one in 80,000,000 - quite a bit worse than your chances of winning the lottery (45,000,000 to one since you ask). Vote Leave recognise that the odds are slim but campaign director Dominic Cummings defended the contest, saying: "We want everyone to have the chance to win the sort of money most people can only dream of, unless they are a banker or a Euro MP." For the record, MEPs earn 8,213 euros (about £6,250) per month. To qualify for the prize, participants have to enter their phone number, together with their email and home addresses, with a Vote Leave source admitting it would allow them to gather the contact details of thousands of potential voters. Will Straw, executive director of Britain Stronger In Europe, described the competition as a "con". But Vote Leave's privacy policy allows anyone to "opt out" from receiving campaign information "at any time". Odds aside, Vote Leave have based their competition prize figure on the assertion that the UK sends £50m a day - or £350m a week to the EU. They've been sharply reprimanded for this by Sir Andrew Dilnot, the chairman of the UK Statistics Authority for using it. He described it as "misleading" and said it "undermines trust in official statistics". We've looked into this claim before and concluded that once you allow for the rebate and money that comes back to the UK for things like farming subsidies, the UK sends roughly £23 million a day to the EU. This would be a very tidy lump sum but not nearly as generous as the amount that Vote Leave is offering. Read more: The facts behind claims in the EU debate

Vote Leave has promised a £50m prize for the person who correctly predicts who they think will win each game of the 2016 European Football Championships this summer.

McBryde leads Wales against Samoa and Tonga this summer in the absence of Warren Gatland and Rob Howley, who coach the Lions in New Zealand. "The game on Saturday gives players a stage to be measured," he said. "We'll see how they react to pressure of playing at the Principality." Cardiff Blues face the Ospreys at the Principality Stadium on Saturday before the Newport Gwent Dragons play the Scarlets in the double header with Gatland naming his Lions squad on 19 April. "I can only speculate in regards to the selection on the 19th [of April] for the Lions," said McBryde. "We are just expecting there to be a few players from the teams that are playing this weekend to be selected. "But we are just looking forward to seeing how they react to playing at the Principality and looking forward to the good occasion. "There were some quite consistent performances during the Six Nations, so there could be as many as 9/10 Welsh players selected for the Lions tour." Media playback is not supported on this device McBryde says he will be picking a squad to win both Tests when he names the Wales touring party for the summer of 24 April, and that Judgement Day could also have ramifications for the Wales squad. "We have always said that we would measure the players by their performances in the Pro12, their performances against one another in the derbies and in Europe, especially against the Irish provinces." he told BBC Wales Sport. "But this game is a big one from a selection point of view. We are looking to name the squad on the 24th to allow the players to prepare both physical and mentally prepare for the tour ahead. So the double-header does allow us to focus on the players with a close microscope. Media playback is not supported on this device "We are going there with the mentality to want to win both Tests. That is in the forefront of our minds and the selection will be based on this. "We can't control injuries or players being asked to join the Lions, we know we can't account for that. "We can take a strong squad down there and make sure our squad is right for the two games against Samoa and Tonga. "Maybe there will be one eye on the short term and one eye on the long term with the World Cup just two years away."

Robin McBryde says there is still an opportunity for players to play their way into the British and Irish Lions and Wales squads if they impress at Judgement Day.

The employers offered no rise for last year and a rise of 1% for 2016-17. The unions say salaries for teachers in NI are falling behind their counterparts in England and Wales. The education minister said the rejection of the offer was "disappointing." Peter Weir added that while he "greatly values" the "hard work teachers do" the package offered was a "realistic one". "It still allows teaching staff to progress along the pay scale, in addition to a cost of living increase," he said. "That offer was rejected outright by the unions as were, I understand, earlier and higher offers. "Given the speed by which the teaching union's statements have issued, I assume they had predetermined their response prior to the negotiations concluding." The Northern Ireland Teachers' Council (NITC) - the body that represents all five teachers' unions, ATL, INTO, NAHT, NASUWT and UTU - made it clear it was not ruling out industrial action. In a statement it said teachers would be "extremely unhappy about this failure of then management side to make a reasonable offer". It said it would "not be surprising if they call on their leaders to take action in the coming months in order to protect not only teachers themselves but also to protect the fabric of the education service from further damage. "This offer is an insult to teachers. It means teachers have slipped even further back in terms of their salaries," said Avril Hall-Callaghan, Chair of the NITC. Gerry Murphy, of INTO, added: "The Department of Education and the employers clearly believe their offer if accepted - which would see experienced teachers' receive a salary increase of less than a pound a day - constitutes an adequate reward for all their hard work and commitment. "They are so out of touch with the realities of life at the chalk face it is frightening." Mark Langhammer of ATL said: "Increases in national insurance and pension contributions mean that many teachers' take home pay has decreased in absolute terms. "In real terms, teachers' pay has plummeted by 15% since 2010/11. Whilst top-executive pay has rocketed stratospherically and tax is routinely avoided and evaded in the corporate world and by the super-wealthy, teachers' status in society has fallen." From next week, NASUWT members will refuse to attend meetings outside school. Its General Secretary, Chris Keates, said the patience of its members had been "exhausted". "Teachers in Northern Ireland are as dedicated, hardworking and committed as their colleagues in Scotland, England and Wales, and yet the employers in Northern Ireland have failed to offer them for 2015-16 even the 1% allowed under the Treasury's pay cap, which other teachers have received. "They are now two years behind their colleagues [elsewhere in the UK] in terms of a pay settlement," he added.

Teaching unions in Northern Ireland have rejected a pay offer after months of negotiations and are considering further action.

McCourt, who previously owned the Los Angeles Dodgers, told L'Equipe he planned to invest 200m euros (£180m) in the club over the next four years. Nine-time Ligue 1 winners Marseille, who finished 13th last season, are 12th in the table after nine games. "Today a new chapter opens in the great history of Olympique de Marseille," said McCourt, 63. "We're going to put our club back on the road to glory." Last season, angry Marseille fans criticised then owner Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, describing her as an "incompetent rich heiress".

American businessman Frank McCourt has bought French Ligue 1 club Marseille for 45m euros (£40.6m).

The 32-year-old former England right-back joined the Potters from Liverpool in 2015 and has made 50 appearances in all competitions. Johnson, whose existing contract was due to expire this summer, said the new deal was a "no-brainer". "I've really enjoyed my time as a Stoke City player so far," he added. "People made me feel really welcome from the moment I walked through the door two years ago and it's a good place to be. "I still feel as though I've got plenty to offer as a player and want to continue to help Stoke City move forward," he added. Manager Mark Hughes said that it would be "foolish" to let a player of Johnson's ability leave. "He's 32 and remains a key figure in my plans and needless to say, I'm delighted he has signed a contract extension," added the 53-year-old.

Stoke City defender Glen Johnson has signed a one-year contract extension that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2018.

He also said the summer transfer window would have been "significantly important for many reasons". The Spaniard was sacked on Thursday with Everton 12th in the Premier League following a 3-0 defeat by Sunderland. He added: "It has been an honour to be the manager of Everton Football Club for the past three seasons." Everton reached the semi-final of both the FA Cup and League Cup this season but have only won five home league games and will finish with their lowest points tally at Goodison Park since the introduction of three points for a win in 1981. Martinez, 42, took over at Everton in 2013, finishing fifth in his first season but slipping to 11th last term. He added: "I will treasure this period as Everton manager forever - the memories of reaching a club record 72 points tally in the Premier League, reaching the final 16 of the Europa League and the excitement of reaching the semi-finals of both domestic cups this season. "I express my gratitude to chairman Bill Kenwright, who understood and supported my vision and who gave me the privilege of becoming an Evertonian." Martinez offered his "sincere thanks" to the players and staff at the club. He added: "I appreciate that over the last eight weeks our league results haven't been up to the levels that we would expect. However, over the past three years the support the fans have given to me and the team has been inspiring. "I know that the team and the fans will react well against Norwich today and I wish everyone the best of luck for three points which would match last season's league points tally." Everton host Norwich in their final Premier League of the season on Sunday with current under-21s coach David Unsworth and former manager Joe Royle taking charge. Martinez also praised American keeper Tim Howard, who is making his final appearance for the club before heading to Major League Soccer's Colorado Rapids, for his "outstanding contribution" to the club.

Roberto Martinez said he is "disappointed" Everton were not able to "finish what we started" following his sacking as manager this week.

John McIlwaine, grew up in Portadown, County Armagh, but worked at the University of Bradford. He died at the age of 49 on Tuesday night. He was in charge of the team that recovered the remains of Danny McIlhone in 2008 and Charlie Armstrong in 2010. Mr Armstrong's daughter Anna McShane recognised his dedication. "I remember him as an awfully nice man who was so good to our family. He worked tirelessly in the most dreadful conditions to find my father," she said. "May he rest in peace." Mr McIlwaine had previously described it as a "privilege" to lead searches for the Disappeared and said their success had far outstripped predictions at the start of the process. Geoff Knupfer, the chief forensic scientist and investigator with the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR), said: "John began work with the ICLVR in 2006 and with his great knowledge and experience made a huge contribution to our work. "Searching for the Disappeared in bleak and inhospitable places requires a special kind of dedication and commitment as well as great skill and that is what John had in abundance." Seventeen people - 16 men and a woman - were abducted and murdered by republicans between 1972 and 2003. The ICLVR was established in 1999 to obtain information in strictest confidence that may lead to the location of the remains of the Disappeared. The bodies of 10 people have been recovered. Sandra Peake, from the Wave Trauma Centre, which has supported the families of the Disappeared since 1995, said: "John had a way of humanising the science which helped families understand more clearly what was being done to find their loved ones. "There was a bond between John and the families and that is reflected today in the number of them who have contacted Wave to express their shock and sorrow." A spokesman for the University of Bradford said staff and students had been left shocked by the tragedy. "John was an incredibly motivated, loyal and reliable individual," he said. "He inspired and supported hundreds of students in archaeological sciences, he supported the local community in West Yorkshire in so many ways and he achieved a life's ambition in helping to ameliorate the pain and suffering of families of the Disappeared. "This is a very sad time for staff and students at the University of Bradford, both present and past."

Tributes have been paid to a forensic archaeologist who led the searches for the Disappeared - people murdered and secretly buried by republicans during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Wenger, whose club contract runs to the summer, has been linked with the job. Southgate succeeded Sam Allardyce in September and oversaw England's 2-0 win against Malta as well the disappointing 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Tuesday. Wenger said Southgate "has accumulated experiences and is a good observer of what's going on in the national team." Of his own links to the role, the 66-year-old Frenchman added: "I focus on my job, that's what it is about." Former England international Southgate, 46, has a World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Wembley on 11 November and a friendly against Spain four days later to persuade the Football Association to give him the job on a permanent basis. Wenger continued: "We're in a job where you get questioned, especially if you have less experience, and the only answer he can give is by showing the decisions he makes are right. "There's always a demand for big names but the most important thing is the person's competency. He has a good opportunity and I'm happy he has a chance to show he has the quality." Speaking before his side's game against Swansea on Saturday, Wenger added that 21-year-old defender Hector Bellerin would be offered a new contract by the club. The Arsenal right-back has been linked with a move, with both Barcelona and Manchester City said to be interested, but Wenger said he was "surprised" by the speculation surrounding the Spain international, who progressed through Barcelona's La Masia academy before joining Arsenal in 2011. "He has nearly three years to go and we always try get the players to the level where we think they deserve to be. So we try to extend, certainly, his contract," said Wenger. "For me, his long-term future is here." Wenger added that midfielder Aaron Ramsey, 25, will miss "one or two" more games, having injured a hamstring during Arsenal's opening-day Premier League defeat by Liverpool on 14 August.

Interim England manager Gareth Southgate is the right man to take the job on a long-term basis, according to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Comley, 20, has played twice for the R's first-team and signed a two-year deal at Loftus Road in May, having been with the club since the age of nine. His full debut came as a substitute in last season's 5-1 Premier League defeat by Leicester City. "We like what we've seen from Brandon and we think we can work with him," Carlisle boss Keith Curle said. The Islington-born midfielder, who featured in a trial match for Carlisle against Barrow, will return to his parent club on 20 February.

Carlisle United have signed midfielder Brandon Comley from from Queens Park Rangers on a one-month youth loan.

The home side only made 162 despite a last-wicket stand of 67 between Tim Bresnan (47) and Ryan Sidebottom. Prolific Chris Rushworth (4-37) and Graham Onions (3-41) proved too much to handle for the Championship leaders. But Sidebottom (4-44) led the way as Durham were dismissed for 156 in reply, with Yorkshire 10-0 at the close. Yorkshire went into the game with a 34-point lead over Warwickshire, but soon found themselves in dire straits on 54-5. Gary Ballance's hopes of finding form after being omitted from England's Test squad came to nothing as he made six from 27 balls before being caught at slip off Onions. Glenn Maxwell's 36 was the only score of any note before Bresnan and Sidebottom came together at 95-9. Bresnan was eventually bowled by Paul Harrison, but then struck the first blow in Durham's reply when Graham Clark gave a catch to point. With Paul Collingwood absent because of a back problem, acting skipper Mark Stoneman was caught hooking at long leg and 18-year-old debutant Jack Burnham was bowled by Liam Plunkett for a four-ball duck. Durham's decline continued, with Sidebottom taking three of the last four wickets, including Ryan Pringle for 40, as their innings lasted just two balls longer than Yorkshire's. Umpires Nick Cook and Jeremy Lloyds confirmed after the match that they were happy with the way the pitch had played and would not call in a pitch liaison officer. Yorkshire bowler Ryan Sidebottom: "It was certainly a bizarre day's cricket and I don't think I have played in one on day one like that before. "I thought we batted pretty poorly in the morning with some poor shot selection but they also bowled well. What a fightback it was by our boys who needed to get us back into the game and now the momentum is in our favour but Durham are still a good side. "It was a good wicket with carry and bounce but if you put the ball in the right areas at Scarborough you are always in the game although this was still a bizarre day."

Yorkshire and Durham proved that Championship cricket can be just as action-packed as an Ashes Test as 20 wickets fell on day one at Scarborough.

A spokesman for the Judicial Office said Nick Harrington had resigned with immediate effect. The anti-Irish tweet appeared on the Warwick district councillor's now deleted account during the Eurovision Song Contest but was widely retweeted. Other tweets on the feed which "may have caused concern" are also being looked at, Warwickshire Police said. Police confirmed on Sunday they were investigating the tweet, which contained offensive and racist language, and are treating it as a suspected hate crime. More from Coventry and Warwickshire On Monday, a spokesman said officers were aware of other tweets, posted on the same account, which may have caused concern. "These will be considered during the investigation," the spokesman added. The leader of Warwick District Council, Andrew Mobbs, said he was also aware of other comments and it was up to a formal standards committee to purse all avenues before coming to any conclusions. Mr Mobbs had already suspended Mr Harrington, who represents the Stoneleigh and Cubbington ward, from the Conservatives on the district council for six months saying his behaviour was unacceptable. The Judicial Office said magistrates are required by the terms of their declaration and undertaking to inform their bench chairman and justices' clerk if they are subject to an investigation by the police. An advisory committee will then consider whether a conduct investigation is required. The national Conservative Party has suspended Mr Harrington, pending an investigation. The district council has said it will wait for the police investigation to conclude before deciding what, if any, action to take.

A Tory councillor being investigated over a racist tweet which appeared on his account has quit as a magistrate.

Ian Domingo, from Dumfries, had been in London for a ceremony to mark the 100th anniversary of the campaign in which his grandfather was killed. His suitbag, containing badges commemorating service, was taken from the Virgin service from Euston. Elaine Higgins, from Barrow-in-Furness, had picked up his bag by accident. She had attended the same remembrance ceremony and had travelled back in the same carriage as Mr Domingo but had unwittingly taken the wrong suitbag and simply put it back in her wardrobe. Mr Domingo contacted British Transport Police (BTP) to report it missing and an appeal was launched to track down the missing bag. Ms Higgins was tipped off by friends about the missing suit and badges adding she was left "dumbstruck" upon looking in her wardrobe. Her 18-year-old son Aled Jones was killed in Bosnia in 1996 and she had been attending the remembrance ceremony as part of her involvement with the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA ) Bereaved Families Support Group. She said: "I immediately felt for Mr Domingo as I had been wearing Aled's medals at the ceremony but took them off my suit - I knew what it would have felt like. "I was dumbstruck for a moment when I unzipped the bag and then went to tell my husband we had Mr Domingo's suit. "I was mortified for him, especially as I knew it had the medals on. "We'd just picked it up and put it straight in the wardrobe, not even thinking to check the contents." She added that she felt obliged to meet Mr Domingo in person to "apologise" adding "we can laugh about it now they're reunited but it must have been awful for him thinking he might not see it, or the badges, again". The pair both praised the work of BTP and the lengths investigating officer PC Gez Cooper went to to have the suit returned. Mr Domingo said: "I knew straight away from speaking to PC Cooper that he would leave no stone unturned trying to find my suit. I really can't thank him enough. "He went to so much trouble for me." PC Cooper added: "It's all in day's work - as a BTP officer the railway is our community and we care about the people who use it." The Gallipoli campaign was an allied operation which aimed to force the Ottoman empire out of the war. More than 131,000 allied and Turkish troops died in the battle, including 11,400 Anzac (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) and 25,000 British soldiers.

Pin badges have been returned to a fallen Gallipoli soldier's grandson whose luggage was mistakenly taken from a train.

In the aftermath of Khalid Masood's assault on London, the BBC received a number of questions from people concerned about safety and security on our streets. Here, BBC London's home affairs correspondent Nick Beake answers the most popular. Why don't the unarmed police officers at Westminster have protective body gear, stab- or bulletproof vests? And do they carry Tasers? Nick Beake: PC Keith Palmer was an unarmed officer protecting the Palace of Westminster, but Scotland Yard says he was wearing a protective vest at the time of the attack. The force said during the post-mortem examination "the pathologist could find no obvious evidence of damage or penetration other than the vest having been cut off during emergency first aid at the scene". Armed officers working at Parliament carry a primary weapon, a sidearm and a Taser. And an unspecified number of armed response vehicles - three firearms specialists in an unmarked car - are on constant patrol in central London. Will the pavement safety barriers removed from nearby London Bridge be restored? Nick Beake: The use of safety barriers varies from location to location. The police, local authorities and transport bosses will all discuss where to install extra measures to protect the public. The mayor of London's office says it is currently considering where more barriers could be installed. Why not build a 6in [15cm] concrete barrier on the bridge pavements to protect pedestrians from the traffic? Nick Beake: An independent review commissioned by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, last year recommended that more bollards be installed in busy parts of London to protect pedestrians from a Nice- or Berlin-style attack, where lorries were driven into crowds. The report author, Lord Harris of Haringey, also called on the authorities to make more use of temporary barriers during big public events. What is the correct immediate response for members of the public caught up in this sort of attack? Nick Beake: The current terrorist threat is rated as "severe", which means an attack is highly likely. The latest advice from the government is to run away from the danger, hide if that is not possible, and then tell the authorities: "Run, hide, tell." More information can be found on the gov.uk website. What should we do if we see something suspicious? Nick Beake: If you spot something suspicious, ring the anti-terror hotline on 0800 789 321. And call 999 if you think there is an immediate threat. How do we know if something that seems suspicious is actually terrorism-related? Nick Beake: It can be hard for experienced police and other investigators to establish quickly if a threat is terrorist-related, but the authorities would rather the public contact them with their genuine concerns however small they may be. It's better to be safe than sorry.

The attack in Westminster, on Wednesday, 22 March, left four victims dead, dozens injured and millions of people around the world asking why.

Evans recorded a time of 55 minutes 40 seconds to take the yellow jersey from Andy Schleck before Sunday's largely ceremonial final stage in Paris. Germany's Tony Martin won the time-trial from Evans, who moved 1:34 ahead of Schleck in the overall standings. Schleck began the day with a 53-second lead in the general classification. The Luxembourger is destined for a third consecutive second place in the Tour after the aggression that secured his stage win over the Galibier on Thursday appeared to catch up with him. Evans, a general classification runner-up in 2008 and 2009, was visibly emotional as he was presented with the yellow jersey. In the absence of Alberto Contador in 2008, the Australian was widely expected to land his first Grand Tour title but was foiled by Carlos Sastre. "Fortunately this year, we're close to Paris", Evans added after Saturday's dramatic stage. "This is the result of a lot of planning and experience. This is my seventh Tour de France and not having bad luck has been good to me. "In 2008 I suffered so much with my injuries it was the hardest Tour." Evans last wore yellow after stage eight of last year's tour, but his time at the front of the field lasted only a day as Schleck took over in the mountains. Back on the flat in this year's decisive stage, the time-trial specialist, took revenge in ruthless style. The 34-year-old soon eliminated the four-second gap that had separated him from Schleck's older brother Frank before powering away to register a stage time 2:31 superior to Andy. The Schlecks will have the small consolation of being the first set of brothers to feature in the same Tour de France podium after Frank successfully defended his third place in the overall standings. But barring a freak accident or illness Evans, the road race world champion in 2009, will be crowned Tour de France winner on Sunday. The final 95km run into Paris is traditionally not contested by the general classification contenders as the sprinters take centre stage on the Champs-Elysees. "I really can't quite believe it right now. I have been concentrating on this one event for so long," said Evans, who came within seven seconds of decorating his success with a stage win. Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme added: "This is the victory of a complete rider. It is the consecration of a career." Thomas Voeckler, who held yellow for 10 days before Friday, is fourth in the overall standings after coming 13th on the day with a typically gritty ride. The Frenchman is 37 seconds ahead of Contador, who came third on the day, 1:06 off Tony Martin's winning stage time. After starting in damp conditions earlier in the day, Fabian Cancellara, the world and Olympic time-trial champion and many people's favourite for the stage, was eighth fastest. STAGE 20 RESULT: 1. Tony Martin (Germany / HTC - Highroad) 55 minutes 33 seconds 2. Cadel Evans (Australia / BMC Racing) +7" 3. Alberto Contador (Spain / Saxo Bank) +1:06" 4.

Cadel Evans is all but certain to become Australia's first Tour de France winner after a stunning time trial-victory in the suburbs of Grenoble.

Two armed groups clashed near the mountainous community of Las Varas, in the state of Chihuahua. The identities of the victims and details of how the shootout unfolded were not immediately clear. Drug cartels often clash in Chihuahua, a key drug-trafficking route south of the border from the US state of Mexico. The confrontation started at 05:00 local time (11:00 GMT) and lasted for two hours, El Universal newspaper reported (in Spanish), quoting accounts from social media users. Three people were detained, the state attorney general's office said. Officials seized three vehicles, heavy weaponry and grenades, it added. The incident is the latest in a series of deadly clashes between rival drug gangs and also with the police across Mexico. Last weekend, 19 gunmen were killed in a shootout with police in the neighbouring Sinaloa state, home to the powerful cartel once led by kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. May was the deadliest month in Mexico since 1997, when official statistics began, with 2,186 homicides. From December 2006 until May this year, there were 188,567 murders, according to government records.

A shootout in northern Mexico has killed at least 14 people, officials say, amid a surge in drug-related violence in the country.
