An effort to raise cash for a role-playing video game was exposed as a fraud by users of Reddit, Something Awful and other sites. The project had $4,739 (£2,922) in pledges out of a target of $80,000 at the point it was pulled by its creator. Kickstarter could not provide comment at this time. The site has successfully funded nearly 22,000 schemes since it was created in 2009. Mythic: The Story of Gods and Men had promised "gameplay characteristics will be similar to that of World of Warcraft and the graphics quality should be up there with Skyrim". The commitment to compete on an equal footing with big budget titles and a claim that "animations will be done via motion capture thanks to some friends at Disney/Pixar" raised suspicions. The scheme also offered supporters the chance of being motion captured so that they could appear as a "god" in the game, a life-sized sword and a copy of the soundtrack recorded "at the Disney Studios" if they gave enough money. Internet users subsequently reported that teaser screenshots had been copied from unrelated concept art and graphic design tutorial websites. No money transferred hands as Kickstarter only charges backers' credit cards if a project attracts enough support before a time limit expires. However, some users have raised concerns about whether the site was doing enough to vet applicants. "What worried me the most is how Kickstarter allowed this to be posted in the first place," wrote David Kononen on the site's comments page. "A simple Google search, and I found out for myself this was very shady." The person responsible for the scam may have been trying to capitalise on the success of another video game. The studio Double Fine recently raised over $3.3m from more than 87,000 backers to develop a new point-and-click adventure. That sum has since been eclipsed by Pebble, an effort to build an e-paper based watch which has raised close to $7.7m in pledges, smashing its $100,000 goal with more than a fortnight to go before its deadline.

Crowdsourced funding site Kickstarter has suffered its first publicised scam.

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

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has said that the worst of the UK's spending cuts are still to come.

At present, those under 18 can be sentenced to a maximum of three years in a reform facility. The move to change the law gathered momentum after the youngest convict in the notorious 2012 Delhi gang rape was recently released from detention. The parents of the victim were among those campaigning to change the law. On Tuesday, the Juvenile Justice Bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha - the upper house of the parliament. The bill was approved by the Lok Sabha - the lower house - in May. It will now have to be signed by the president to become law - which, correspondents say, is a mere formality. The new law will not apply to the youngest 2012 rapist, but it will be used in future cases involving juvenile offenders above 16 years. Authorities say the number of juvenile crimes have been increasing - last year, 38,565 cases were registered, including many cases of rapes, murders and acid attacks. The supporters of the new law say tougher punishment will act as a deterrent. However, critics say that India is a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child which mandates that all children under the age of 18 be treated equally, and say the new law will violate the convention. Jyoti Singh, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student, died after being brutally raped by five men and one minor on a moving bus in 2012. The attack sparked a huge public outcry in India and forced the authorities to introduce tough new laws to deal with crimes against women. Her mother Asha Devi said she was "satisfied" at the bill's passing. "But I am sad that my daughter did not get justice," she added. Four adult convicts in the case are appealing against death sentences. A fifth died in prison. But the youngest of her attackers, who was 17 at the time of the crime, was sentenced to three years and released recently. During his trial in a juvenile court, there were calls to try him as an adult and protests were held over the weekend against his release. Since his release, the rapist has been housed with a charity because of fears over his safety. On Monday, India's Supreme Court dismissed an appeal to stop his release, saying it "shared" the concern of most citizens but its hands were "tied" by the law.

The Indian parliament has passed a bill which allows juveniles between 16 and 18 years of age to be tried as adults for serious crimes like rape or murder.

The 21-year-old member of parliament is named alongside Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and Noel Gallagher for the publication's People of the Year list. NME said the politician impressed by becoming the youngest MP elected to the House of Commons since 1880. Earlier this month, she was named Glasgow University's Young Alumnus of the Year. Ms Black won the Paisley and Renfrewshire South seat in May's general election, before completing her MA Hons degree in Politics and Public Affairs.

SNP MP Mhairi Black has been announced as one of music magazine NME's People of the Year nominees.

Warriors called off the game, without consulting Widnes, as the pitch had deteriorated following Storm Doris and needed time to recover so that Wigan Athletic could play football on it. But the match then went ahead on the scheduled date at the Vikings' ground. Warriors, who won the game 28-26, must pay £2,000 in costs for the RFL. An independent operational Rules Tribunal determined the Warriors breached operational rules and some of the league's code of conduct. The Rugby Football League said it would set up a working party so the stadium sharing clubs - Wigan, Hull FC, Salford Red Devils and Leeds Rhinos - can discuss the issues in relation to sharing a ground.

Wigan Warriors have been reprimanded and ordered to pay costs for postponing their Super League fixture against Widnes Vikings in February.

The group claim they are owed $40,000 (£23,500) by the Illinois-based outfit WorldWide Fan Clubs. The company had been charged with managing subscriptions and fan records for Duran Duran, with 75% of profits going to the musicians. Its owners declined to comment when contacted by the Associated Press. According to their legal action, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, Duran Duran also contend that the company - which operates out of the town of Glenview - failed to keep accurate accounts of fan club activity since they gained the contract for the work in 2010. It also stated they have made repeated requests for the unpaid fees to be settled. Part of their brief was to process subscriptions from fans, while their headquarters would also serve as a warehouse for the distribution of band merchandise. They were entitled to keep 25% of proceeds for their activities. Duran Duran were formed in Birmingham in 1978, with its core members Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor still in the line-up today. They have enjoyed a string of hits in both the UK and US, including Hungry Like The Wolf and Rio. In 2012, they performed at a concert to mark the opening ceremony of the London Olympics in Hyde Park. The band are currently at work on their 14th studio album.

Pop band Duran Duran have taken legal action against the US company charged with running their fan club over unpaid revenues, court papers have revealed.

The mother conceived naturally and gave birth to a baby boy two weeks ago. Edinburgh University scientists are freezing tissue from the reproductive organs of boys and girls as young as one, which can be re-implanted once they reach adulthood. The 33-year-old mother had a section of her ovary removed 11 years ago. She wishes to remain anonymous. Following her chemotherapy, doctors re-implanted the tissue last year. Researchers said the new service was open to NHS patients. The new mother said: "That the re-implanted tissue took so quickly, came as a really wonderful surprise. "I'm incredibly appreciative of my oncologist's foresight in sending me for the consultation with the fertility team. "I had one small surgical procedure before I began my second round of chemotherapy and now, 10 years on, my husband and I have been able to have a family." She added: "We never thought it would be possible and we are just astonished and overjoyed. We are extremely grateful to all the people involved in this process. "When you're going through cancer treatment it can be hard to think about the future, but I do think this will offer hope to others that they could one day have a family." Prof Richard Anderson, of Edinburgh University, said: "The storage of ovarian tissue to allow restoration of fertility after cancer treatment in girls and young women was pioneered in Edinburgh over 20 years ago, and it is wonderful to see it come to fruition. "This gives real hope to girls and young women facing treatment that may cause them to become infertile, and shows how some medical advances can take a long time to show their benefits." The research has been funded by the Wellcome Trust, Children with Cancer, the European Union and the Medical Research Council. It has involved close collaboration with the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service.

A cancer patient from Edinburgh has become the first UK woman to give birth following a transplant of her frozen ovary tissue.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 25, pleaded guilty to attempting to blow up a commercial plane as a would-be suicide mission for al-Qaeda. His family quickly called on the US government to review the sentence. Abdulmutallab was badly burned when a bomb sewn into his underwear failed to detonate fully, prosecutors said. Almost 300 people were on the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. Some of the passengers from the flight were in the courtroom as Federal Judge Nancy Edmunds announced the sentence. Profile: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab "This was an act of terrorism that cannot be quibbled with," Judge Edmunds said, as she imposed the maximum sentence. The son of a Nigerian banker and a former engineering student at University College London, Abdulmutallab faced eight counts against him, including terrorism and attempted murder. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a militant group based in Yemen, said it was behind the attempted attack. In statement to the BBC, the family of Abdulmutallab said they were "grateful to God that the unfortunate incident of that date did not result in any injury or death". "We strongly appeal to the American justice department to review the life sentence," they said. "We also appeal to the Federal Republic of Nigeria to continue with their support and engage with the American government to ensure that a review is made." Ahead of the sentencing, assistant defence lawyer Anthony Chambers argued that a life sentence for Abdulmutallab would be unconstitutional, since no other passengers were hurt. By Mark LobelBBC News, Lagos Many more young Nigerians have been radicalised since Lagos-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's actions linked the West African country to al-Qaeda. But the organisation behind their radicalisation is Boko Haram, a local religious group that has turned militant. It wants Nigeria ruled by strict Islamic law and its recruits take quite different journeys from that of the man in his twenties from a very wealthy northern Nigerian family, now in the hands of the US penal system. A neighbour of the Abdulmutallab family in Kaduna, prominent rights activist Shehu Sani, told me a lighter sentence would give Umar Farouk a deserved chance to rehabilitate. The blame should lie with the terrorists who took advantage of the model student, as he was too young to know better, he said. Some in the Muslim north think the whole case is a US conspiracy. There is far less sympathy for him in the Christian south. Matthew, a banker, said that a death sentence would be justified. Having harmed Nigeria's image, as Boko Haram is doing now, Matthew said the 25-year-old does not deserve a second chance. Sentencing guidelines directed the judge to impose a mandatory life sentence, but Mr Chambers appealed for a lighter term. "Not one passenger lost his or her life. Not one passenger suffered life-threatening injuries," he said. Prosecutors said a life sentence was warranted because an attempted terror attack heightens public fear and burdens airports with expensive and time-consuming security procedures. As part of the sentencing hearing, four passengers and a crew member aboard Flight 253 made statements, telling the judge the event had forever changed their lives. A video from the FBI showing the power of the explosive material found in Abdulmutallab's underwear was also shown at the hearing. As the video played Abdulmutallab twice said loudly "Allahu akbar" - Arabic for "God is great". Abdulmutallab himself made a brief statement. During the short trial, he had fired his lawyer and attempted to represent himself. "Mujahideen are proud to kill in the name of God," he said in court. "And that is exactly what God told us to do in the Koran... Today is a day of victory." "In quick response to some of the things that have been said, I say my life and the lives of Muslims have also changed due to the attacks on innocent civilians," he added. On the second day of his trial, in October, Abdulmutallab unexpectedly declared that he would plead guilty to all charges. The bomb was a "blessed weapon to save the lives of innocent Muslims", he told the court. "The US should be warned that if they continue to kill and support those who kill innocent Muslims, then the US should await a great calamity... or God will strike them directly," he added. Investigators said Abdulmutallab admitted he was working for AQAP, and had been inspired by and had met Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical cleric who was killed in 2011 by a US drone strike in Yemen. Abdulmutallab received the bomb, as well as training, from AQAP before travelling from Nigeria to Amsterdam. There he boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 to Detroit, which was carrying 279 passengers and 11 crew members. The bomb was not picked up in security checks at airports in Lagos and Amsterdam. On board, the bomb failed to detonate completely and passengers had to put out the fire. Abdulmutallab's father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, an influential banker who is well connected in Nigerian politics, said he had approached the US embassy officials and Nigerian authorities in 2009 to warn them about his son. Abdulmutallab was already on a US watch list, but not a no-fly list.

A Nigerian man accused of trying to bomb a US-bound flight on Christmas Day 2009 has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

One of the men was arrested in the capital Berlin and the other in a town close to Cologne, in west Germany. Police seized computers, mobile phones and sketches in the raids but did not find a "smoking gun", prosecutors' spokesman Martin Steltner said. About 450 officers were involved in the raids. One of the men detained, reported to be aged 35, had been living in a refugee shelter in the town of Attendorn, east of Cologne, and is wanted by the Algerian authorities for alleged links to IS. Police said "investigations show that he has been trained militarily in Syria". The man's wife, also wanted by Algeria, was detained at the same time but prosecutors said she was not a suspect in the German case. The suspect held in Berlin was arrested on suspicion of falsifying identity documents, police said. Two other Algerians in Germany, said by police to be "from the jihadist scene", were tracked down but not arrested. "Our understanding is that the four men accused could have planned to carry out an attack together," Mr Steltner said. German media said the possible targets included central Berlin tourist sites Checkpoint Charlie and Alexanderplatz. Since January, the suspects had changed their mobile phones multiple times and communicated using instant messaging services, reports said. Germany's security concerns have risen since the Paris attacks last year. Officials declined to comment on a report in the Tagesspiegel newspaper, citing security sources, which said senior IS figures had ordered an attack on Germany.

German police have arrested two Algerians suspected of planning an attack and having links to the militant group, Islamic State (IS).

Some 563 were held or arrested by Port of Dover police officers last year - up from 148 in 2013, a BBC Radio Kent Freedom of Information request shows. The figures come days after dozens of migrants attempted to storm the Channel Tunnel's Calais terminal. The Home Office said it was providing funding to bolster security and that many crossing attempts had been foiled. The FoI shows 46 illegal immigrants were detained or arrested at Dover - one of the main gateways to Britain - between January and April this year. The number of detentions and arrests is also up significantly from 2012, when 105 were held or arrested. Around 3,000 migrants from countries including Eritrea, Syria and Afghanistan are camped at a site dubbed "the Jungle II" near the Port of Calais. French aid workers have reported a "catastrophic" situation there. Road Haulage Association chief executive Richard Burnett, who recently visited Calais, said migrants are going to great lengths to cross the Channel. He told Radio Kent: "They think it's a great place to be and (Britain's) their target. They will do anything they possibly can to get into the UK." Last week, Channel Tunnel services were delayed and cancelled after immigrants entered restricted areas on the French side. And last month hundreds of migrants tried to board UK-bound lorries amid chaos as a strike forced the suspension of services through the tunnel. Eurotunnel said at the time that the number of migrants in the Calais area was the "highest ever". Hauliers have been advised by the Freight Transport Association not to stop within about 60 miles (97km) of Calais, to stick with other drivers and make sure padlocks are always kept on vehicles. Responding to the latest figures, a Home Office spokesman said 40,000 attempted illegal crossings of the Channel had been foiled last year. He added: "We are providing funding to bolster the security of ports in northern France and Belgium, including a £2m upgrade of detection technology, a £1m extension of dog searching capacity and £12m to reinforce security at Calais and other ports. "During the current period of disruption to cross-Channel services, Border Force has put its contingency plans into operation to ensure security is maintained. "We have deployed additional Border Force staff and sniffer dogs in northern France as well as bolstering screening checks at Dover for both tourist and freight vehicles." The Port of Dover Police is a non-Home Office constabulary funded entirely by the port authority, Dover Harbour Board. Port of Dover Police is not responsible for border security, which is down to the Border Agency and Kent Police frontier operations.

There has been a large increase in the number of illegal immigrants detained or arrested by police at Dover.

Researchers believe achieving a healthier weight could cut the risk by a fifth in breast cancer. Around 3,200 women will take part, with half of them shifting a tenth of their body weight. Experts said the trials were vital as it was still unclear if weight made a difference. Dr Jennifer Ligibel, from the women's cancer centre at the Dana-Faber Cancer Institute, said: "We have known now for many years that women who are overweight or obese and are diagnosed with breast cancer have a higher risk of their cancer recurring and ultimately dying." She said this had been seen in more than 100 studies, though the explanation for it was unclear. She said preliminary evidence showed that losing weight after diagnosis could be helpful. But the idea has never been tested in a large randomised trial, considered the gold-standard of medical research. The two-year trial will start recruiting overweight and obese patients, with a BMI of at least 27, in August. After their cancer therapy is completed, the women will have regular advice from dieticians to help them reduce their calorie intake to 1,200-1,500 calories per day. Eventually, they will also exercise for up to 250 minutes a week. For every 100 women in the study who do not lose weight, they expect to see 23 have a recurrence of the tumour. If the researchers are right, then they expect only 19 in every 100 women who did shift the pounds to have a recurrence. Dr Ligibel added: "I think it would be premature to say we know these things make a difference and that's why studies are important. "I am quite convinced but I think we need the data to really prove it, but also to look at who benefits." It is far from clear what changes inside an obese body could be leading to cancer recurrence, but there are theories around levels of the hormone insulin or inflammation, both of which are altered with weight gain. If the concept is confirmed then it could apply to a wider range of cancers. Prostate and colorectal cancer incidence is already known to be closely connected to waistline, however, patients with tumours such as lung or skin cancers, which are linked to carcinogens, may not benefit. Dr Harold Burstein, an American Society of Clinical Oncology spokesman and breast cancer doctor, said there was "mixed evidence" on weight. He argued: "There is a tendency to overstate the benefit, as yet there's no real known benefit for these interventions - that's why they're doing the trials." "It's not clear that if you change your weight after a breast cancer diagnosis that it affects the breast cancer coming back. "Either because it doesn't matter, or the damage has already been done, or the tumour is what it is and does its thing regardless of what you're eating." Meanwhile, a study presented at ASCO has suggested chemotherapy is less effective in obese women with breast cancer. A team at a Turkish hospital analysed data from 295 patients to show obese women were both less likely to respond to treatment and more likely to see their cancer return. There was a complete response in 31% of normal or underweight patients compared with just 17% in the obese group. And the disease returned after an average of 76 months in obese patients compared with 150 months in those of normal weight. Dr Ali Riza Sever, one of the researchers at the University of Hacettepe's oncology centre, told the BBC News website: "It tells us obesity is an adverse factor when it comes to chemotherapy before surgery. "Obesity puts you in a more disadvantaged situation." Follow James on Twitter.

The first major trial to see if losing weight reduces the risk of cancers coming back is about to start in the US and Canada.

The US-born radical Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki is head of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Two brothers believed to be mid-ranking al-Qaeda officials died in a drone strike in south Yemen on Thursday, Yemeni officials said. The attack came just days after al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by US Navy Seals. The Pentagon refused to comment on the reports that Anwar al-Awlaki was specifically targeted in Yemen. According to Yemen's defence ministry, the missile fired by the drone hit a car in in the province of Shabwa carrying two brothers, identified by Yemeni officials as Musa'id and Abdullah Mubarak. But reports from Washington now suggest US commanders had believed they had one of al-Qaeda's most valuable targets in their sights. "We were hoping it was him," one unnamed US official told CBS News. The reported attempt to kill Mr Awlaki is believed to be the first known US military strike within Yemen since May 2010, when missiles mistakenly killed one of Mr Saleh's envoys. In September the country's foreign minister said that such unmanned strikes had been suspended. The report comes as Yemenis continue to take to the streets to demand that Ali Abdullah Saleh, president for 30 years, step down. According to the Wall Street Journal, there were several attempts to target Mr Awlaki on Thursday. He escaped an initial attack of three rockets fired at a vehicle in which he was travelling and then swapped cars with the two brothers, who were killed in a second strike by a single drone, the newspaper said. Washington considers the Yemen-based al-Qaeda branch the world's most active terror cell. It is estimated to have some 300 fighters within Yemeni strongholds, clustered around mountain ranges where the central government has little reach. The group is said to have inspired attacks by Muslims within the US as well as plots to smuggle explosives on planes heading to the US. Some analysts are convinced that, after the death of Bin Laden, Mr Awlaki represents the greatest threat. An American-born cleric of Yemeni descent, he was placed on a terrorism blacklist in July 2010 and had imposed financial sanctions on him. US officials say Mr Awlaki helped recruit Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of attempting to blow up an airliner as it flew into Detroit on 25 December 2009. Maj Nidal Hasan, the US Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 comrades in the Fort Hood shooting in 2009, sought religious advice from Mr Awlaki and saw him preach in the US state of Virginia in 2001, US officials say. A student found guilty of attempting to murder British MP Stephen Timms in London was also said to have been inspired by Mr Awlaki's online sermons.

A US drone attack in Yemen targeted but failed to kill one of al-Qaeda's most influential figures, US reports say.

The Gills had agreed to sign defender N'Gala, 27, after he left Eastleigh. However, he played for Barnet and Eastleigh earlier this campaign, and rules state a player cannot appear for more than two teams in one season. But National League club Dover say they have been allowed to sign him following talks with the Football Association and English Football League. N'Gala started his career at West Ham, and had spells at Stevenage and Portsmouth before joining Barnet in 2014. He became Eastleigh's record signing when they bought him from the Bees in November. The Fifa Players' Transfer rules came into force this season, and recently led to Leyton Orient winger Ulrich Nnomo's proposed move to Paris FC being cancelled.

A BBC crew recorded a party member remarking at a meeting that Golden Dawn members had not beaten radical left MP Dimitris Stratoulis hard enough. The party sued Mr Stratoulis when he accused them over the attack. Contacted by the BBC, a party spokesperson dismissed the remarks at the meeting as a "joke". Greek police spokesman Lt Col Christos Manouras told the BBC on Monday that as soon as police heard the BBC broadcast, they recorded the clip of the Golden Dawn meeting and sent it to the office investigating the alleged attack on Mr Stratoulis. The MP from the Syriza bloc was reportedly attacked after a football match in the Olympic Stadium on 16 December by three men who, he says, threatened to kill him. He is said to have suffered light injuries. Golden Dawn is one of the most right-wing parties in Europe and its anti-immigrant language and logo, redolent of a swastika, underline why many call it neo-Nazi, the BBC's Tim Franks reports from Athens. A recent opinion poll suggests the party's support has grown since the last election, when it won 18 seats in parliament. Golden Dawn denies involvement in violence.

Police in Greece have submitted a BBC tape to prosecutors investigating an alleged assault on an MP by members of the far-right Golden Dawn party.

By the time a baby takes its first breath many of the key pathways between nerves have already been made. And some of these will help determine how a baby thinks or sees the world, and may have a role to play in the development of conditions such as autism, scientists say. But how this rich neural network assembles in the baby before birth is relatively unchartered territory. Researchers from Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, King's College London, Imperial College and Oxford University aim to produce a dynamic wiring diagram of how the brain grows, at a level of detail that they say has been impossible until now. They hope that by charting the journeys of bundles of nerves in the final three months of pregnancy, doctors will be able to understand more about how they can help in situations when this process goes wrong. Prof David Edwards, director of the Centre for the Developing Brain, who is leading the research, says: "There is a distressing number of children in our society who grow up with problems because of things that happen to them around the time of birth or just before birth. "It is very important to be able to scan babies before they are born, because we can capture a period when an awful lot is changing inside the brain, and it is a time when a great many of the things that might be going wrong do seem to be going wrong." The study - known as the Developing Human Connectome Project - hopes to look at more than 1,500 babies, studying many aspects of their neurological development. By examining the brains of babies while they are still growing in the womb, as well as those born prematurely and at full term, the scientists will try to define baselines of normal development and investigate how these may be affected by problems around birth. And they plan to share their map with the wider research community. Central to this project are advanced MRI scanning techniques, which the scientists say are able to pick up on details of the growing brain that have been difficult to capture until now. While in the womb, foetuses are free to somersault in their amniotic sacs, and this constant movement has so far hindered clear images of growing brains. But researchers at the Centre for the Developing Brain have found ways to counter the effects of these movements, building up full three-dimensional pictures while the foetus is in motion. And by placing the MRI machine in the neonatal intensive care unit at Evelina Children's Hospital in London they are one of the few centres in the world to have a scanner in such close proximity to the babies who often need it most, Prof Edwards says. This means the same scanning system can be used to find out more about the brains of the sickest and smallest newborn babies, he says. Daniel Rueckert, professor of visual information processing at Imperial College London, who is also involved in the research, says: "We are trying to look at brain connectivity in two ways: firstly, from a structural perspective, to find out which parts of the brain are wired to other parts. And secondly we are looking at functional connectivity - how strongly two brain regions are linked across time and activity." But Prof Partha Mitra, a neuroscientist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York state, says we need to be aware of the limitations of the technology in use. "It would obviously be a very good thing to know more about the circuits in the developing human brain. Much of what we know hasn't changed in a hundred years and has come from dissection studies. "But we need to keep in mind the imaging techniques we have are indirect - we can't open up a human brain and look at the connections while someone is alive so we rely on these non-invasive methods. But there is a big gap between the real circuits in the brain and what images can show us." Prof Rueckert acknowledges that this map will provide a "macro-level" view of the developing brain and not be the "final answer". But he points to early results from the adult version of this project - the Human Connectome Project, based in the US: "There is so much evidence already from the adult project that there are significant changes in the brain that can be mapped with the technology we have now. "It will be incredibly useful to be able to do this with the still growing and developing brain - perhaps giving us more time to intervene when things go wrong."

UK scientists have embarked on a six-year project to map how nerve connections develop in babies' brains while still in the womb and after birth.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that the Russian air force would continue its support of the Syrian armed forces. He also urged Washington to deliver on a pledge to separate moderate Syrian opposition fighters from "terrorists". US Secretary of State John Kerry warned the US was "on the verge" of suspending talks with Russia over Syria. "It's irrational, in the context of the kind of bombing taking place, to be sitting there, trying to take things seriously," he told a conference in Washington. "There is no notion or indication of seriousness of purpose with what is taking place right now." The Russian foreign ministry said a US refusal to co-operate would be a gift to "terrorists". The US and Russia have been negotiating for months to try to secure a cessation of hostilities but the latest truce collapsed last week after only a few days and attacks on eastern Aleppo have since intensified. The US warned on Wednesday it would end talks on military co-operation unless Moscow stopped the bombing. The recent cessation deal was meant to lead to joint Russian-US air strikes on so-called Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly known as al-Nusra Front). However Russia has complained the US has not done enough to separate the more moderate rebel groups, which it backs, from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham. Many of these groups have formed a strategic alliance with the more powerful Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and fight alongside it. Despite growing tensions between the two nations, Mr Peskov said Russia remains interested in pursuing talks with the US in an effort to resolve the crisis in Syria. His comments echo a statement from Moscow, which insisted it would send diplomats to Geneva to discuss ways of normalising the situation with the US. US Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday that national security agencies were reviewing all options to try to end the Syrian civil war. He said President Barack Obama had asked "all of the agencies to put forward options, some familiar, some new, that we are very actively reviewing". "When we are able to work through these in the days ahead we'll have an opportunity to come back and talk about them in detail," he said. Meanwhile Turkey has said it will work with Russia on putting in place another ceasefire after the previous agreement collapsed. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters in Ankara "we are more than ready" but emphasised that nations have to try harder to find a political resolution in order for an agreement to be effective. Aleppo has come under heavy aerial bombardment since the partial truce deal disintegrated a week ago. Some 250,000 people are trapped in the east in appalling conditions, under siege from Russian-backed Syrian forces. UN aid chief Stephen O'Brien has warned that Aleppo is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Mr O'Brien, the under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, told the UN Security Council Aleppo had descended into a "merciless abyss of humanitarian catastrophe unlike any we have witnessed in Syria". The US has accused Russia of taking part in strikes on civilian targets and possibly committing war crimes - charges Russia has strongly denied.

Russia has said it will carry on bombing rebel-held eastern Aleppo in Syria, defying US demands to stop.

Media playback is not supported on this device Saints captain Anderson claims he was punched by Kiernan during last week's 1-1 draw between the sides. "It was a corner and he caught me in the ribs. It was a clear punch on me," Anderson said after the match. The Scottish FA disciplinary hearing regarding the incident at McDiarmid Park will take place on 12 January. Anderson said that Kiernan, who was free to play in Saturday's defeat by Celtic, deserved any punishment that may arise from the incident. "You can't do that in football games," he said. "I'm not bothered, but if it gets highlighted then he deserves it." Rangers manager Mark Warburton, however, defended Kiernan. "There's nothing in that," he said. "I've watched it again - it's a push. "If you punish that, there will be more judicial panels than you could possibly imagine."

Rangers will challenge a two-match ban offered to defender Rob Kiernan for violent conduct following a clash with St Johnstone's Steven Anderson.

State House Speaker Thom Tillis defeated Mark Harris and Greg Brannon, who were seen as insurgent candidates. Mr Tillis avoided a runoff election by earning 46% of the vote in the eight-person race on Tuesday. Republicans aim to wrestle Senate control from the Democrats in November. "I want to go to Washington and clean up Kay Hagan's mess," Mr Tillis told supporters. "If we want to change the mess of Obamacare, we have to change our senator," he said, referring to President Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform law, which Republicans uniformly despise. "The North Carolina results are a strong indication that the GOP rank and file is undergoing a shift from prioritising purity to prizing victory." - James Hohmann, Politico "Though backed by establishment forces and, as a former management consultant, easily portrayed as a process-oriented tool of the party's business interests, Tillis has some conservative bona fides." - Eliana Johnson, National Review "If this race is any indication, the 'Republican civil war' storyline so beloved of pundits in recent years may have to be retired." - Molly Ball, the Atlantic "For conservatives, Thom Tillis was the worst possible outcome in North Carolina." - Eric Erickson, RedState blog For more, please visit the BBC's Echo Chambers blog Republicans have sought to capitalise on Democratic US President Barack Obama's low approval ratings and dissatisfaction with the healthcare law in their effort to wrestle six seats from Democrats and take control of the US Senate in November. "Thom Tillis has spent his time in Raleigh pushing a special-interest agenda that has rigged the system against middle-class families," Ms Hagan wrote in a statement. "This is not an agenda that works for working families, and his priorities are out of sync with our common-sense North Carolina values." Ms Hagan was elected in the 2008 Democratic wave and is seen as vulnerable in her first bid for re-election. Elsewhere on Tuesday, Republican House Speaker John Boehner easily defeated two candidates associated with the right-wing populist tea party movement in the Ohio Republican primary election. Republican Congresswoman Susan Brooks also beat challengers, winning 75% of primary votes in Indiana. The North Carolina primary in particular was viewed as a test of the Republican establishment's ability to exert its influence on the nomination process and keep more divisive tea party candidates off the ballot in November. In the 2010 and 2012 election cycles, the Republican Party watched as popular tea party candidates won party primaries only to flame out in the general election because their strident rhetoric turned off independent voters.

A North Carolina Senate candidate backed by the Republican Party establishment has won the party's nomination to face Democratic Senator Kay Hagan in the November election.

In an election pledge, Labour said giving working parents 30 hours free childcare a week for 48 weeks of the year would cost an extra £84m annually. Economist Gillian Paull told BBC Wales the "upper limit" could reach £200m if "nearly all" parents took up the offer. The Welsh Government said it was currently analysing the likely costs. The promise to provide 30 hours free childcare a week was one of Labour's key election pledges and is now part of its five-year programme for government. The childcare will be made available to working parents of three- and four-year-olds for 48 weeks of the year. In a report for the Welsh Government in February, Ms Paull, of Frontier Economics, produced various cost estimates for the policy. It said the cost would be £84m a year if the childcare was offered to working parents and if 87% of them took up the offer at a cost of £5 per hour. However, Ms Paull warned that she thought the policy was unlikely to encourage many non-working parents to take up jobs. The Welsh Government insists the policy will remove one of the "major barriers to employment". Ms Paull said if the policy proved to be successful in enabling large numbers of parents take up jobs, its annual cost would increase considerably. "The cost estimate [in the report] is based on a very small response in working behaviour," she told the Sunday Politics Wales programme. "If there is a bigger response, the cost could be considerably higher. "A reasonable upper limit would be around £200m, based on an extreme response of nearly all parents becoming eligible by working." David Dallimore, a social policy researcher at Bangor University, warned that money would also have to be spent expanding the availability of childcare in Wales, which he claimed was already "patchy". "It's very dependent on where you live," he said. "Wales has a measurably lower rate of childcare than other nations in the UK. "In Wales it's about 30 childcare places for every 100 children - it's about 40 in England and it's nearly 50 in Scotland." He added: "I think there's a lot of concern within the sector that there isn't enough provision to be able to deliver this [policy] in the current form we have." Indicating the end of the Communities First anti-poverty programme on Tuesday, Communities Secretary Carl Sargeant cited the childcare policy as a way of helping parents find work. "Across government we are ensuring prosperity for all," he said. "The creation of a generous childcare offer for working parents will help to remove one of the major barriers to employment." A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "We know there are issues with capacity and cost in some parts of Wales and we are working with the childcare sector to address this. "We are also currently undertaking complex modelling of costs. "We have a cost range, and the purpose of our modelling and analysis is to look at key factors such as the number of eligible children, take-up rates, number of hours utilised and hourly cost, all of which impact on the overall cost estimates." Sunday Politics Wales is on BBC One Wales on Sunday 16 October at 1100 BST

Welsh Labour's promise to increase free childcare could cost considerably more than it has predicted, the author of a report on the matter has said.

"Donor fatigue" had led to funding for SW Radio Africa drying up, its manager Gerry Jackson told the BBC. The station was launched when President Robert Mugabe faced strong opposition to his rule from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party. After four years in coalition with the MDC, Mr Mugabe fended off his rivals and was re-elected to office last year. Ms Jackson said the long crisis in Zimbabwe, and the "massive disarray" in the ranks of the MDC, had contributed to "donor fatigue". Seizing radios The European Union (EU) had also decided to "re-engage with Mugabe and the ruling Zanu-PF party, which may have influenced some donors who do not want a critical voice out there", she added. BBC World Service Africa editor Richard Hamilton says SW Radio Africa's final news bulletin, from an office outside London, was tinged with sadness. Although the Zimbabwean government jammed some of its short wave broadcasts, SW Radio Africa still had its loyal listeners - estimated at one point at around one million, he says. "We are gone so our voice is completely gone," Ms Jackson told the BBC.

A radio station opposed to Zimbabwe's government has shut down after 13 years of broadcasting from the UK.

The Care Inspectorate and Healthcare Improvement Scotland looked at services provided by NHS Western Isles and local authority Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. The watchdogs said there were "weaknesses" and "crucial areas for improvement" in the services. They acknowledged that care provision was "performing well in some aspects". The comhairle and health board provide the services as a partnership. A new report on the inspection carried out in April and June last year includes 12 recommendations for improvements. The inspectors said in the report that too many older people were subject to delayed discharge from hospital, and were having to wait too long for care-at-home support or a care home placement. They also identified "very limited" development of intermediate care services and said there was a need for "timely diagnosis" of dementia. Inspectors also flagged up where the health board and council have been working well. Front line health and social work staff were "well motivated and worked well together", said the report. There was also a "strong sense of community spirit" among staff and patients. Karen Reid, chief executive of the Care Inspectorate, said: "This report has highlighted important weaknesses in services provided for older people across the Western Isles, and we have clearly laid out our recommendations as to how these should be addressed. "In particular, effective and consistent leadership is needed to ensure that services deliver better outcomes for older people who access them, and for their families and carers. "We require significant improvement to ensure high-quality care is provided to older people in a way which reflects their needs and promotes their rights. "The Care Inspectorate will now work with Healthcare Improvement Scotland and the Scottish government's chief social work adviser to directly support improvement in the partnership." Robbie Pearson, acting chief executive of Healthcare Improvement Scotland, said: "In this joint inspection we found that most of the older people and carers that we met were generally happy with the services provided to them in the Western Isles. "They felt that the services contributed to better outcomes in respect of their health and wellbeing. We also saw good examples of older people being supported to remain in their own homes. "However, we found a number of important weaknesses that need to be addressed. A significant proportion of older people were subject to delayed discharges from hospital - this issue was raised in a previous inspection for the care of older people by Healthcare Improvement Scotland." He added: "We are confident that the recommendations set out in this report will result in significant improvements in the care that older people receive."

A joint inspection of the delivery of services for older people in the Western Isles has identified the need for improvement.

The Scottish government has already drafted legislation for a referendum after Nicola Sturgeon said another ballot was highly likely in the wake of the UK voting to leave the EU. But Ms Sturgeon told STV News that any referendum would not been held in 2017. Her predecessor, Alex Salmond, has predicted a vote on independence will be held in the autumn of next year. Ms Sturgeon said: "There is not going to be an independence referendum in 2017, I don't think there is anybody who thinks that is the case." She has previously said a vote on independence will be held if the Scottish government concludes it is the only way to protect Scotland's place in Europe. Ms Sturgeon has urged the UK government to negotiate a so-called soft Brexit and retain its membership of the single market. Failing that, she wants a special arrangement to allow Scotland to stay in the single market even if the rest of the UK leaves. The first minister's latest comments regarding the timing of a second referendum follow her insistence at the weekend that she is not bluffing on calling a re-run of the 2014 ballot if Scotland's position is ignored. But she has also indicated that a soft Brexit could take the issue off the table in the short-term. Ms Sturgeon told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "We have to ask ourselves in Scotland are we happy to have the direction of our country, the kind of country we want to be, determined by a right-wing Conservative government perhaps for the next 20 years, or do we want to take control of our own future?" "That's the case that in those circumstances, I think, it would be right for Scotland to have the opportunity to decide." Asked if she was looking at a referendum "much quicker" than in five or 10 years' time if there was a hard Brexit, she said: "I would think, yes. But let me not get away from this point, I'm putting to Theresa May a compromise solution." Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said ruling out an independence referendum this year was an "empty gesture" by Ms Sturgeon. Accusing the first minister of "leaving Scotland in limbo", Ms Davidson added: "If she's serious about allowing Scotland to move on from constitutional navel-gazing, she should ditch her draft referendum bill immediately." Scottish Labour deputy leader Alex Rowley said: "While it is welcome that Nicola Sturgeon has ruled out another independence referendum in 2017, this doesn't come close to ending the uncertainty. "The first minister should rule out forcing another independence referendum on the people of Scotland altogether, not just for the next twelve months." But the Scottish Greens welcomed the Scottish government' commitment to keeping a second referendum on the table. Co-convenor Patrick Harvie said: "This cannot be a quiet time ahead for supporters of independence; although the Brexit negotiations will take two years, work must begin now to build support and strengthen our case."

Scotland's first minister has explicitly ruled out holding a second referendum on independence this year.

Moses, 24, has not played a competitive game for Chelsea since Jose Mourinho returned as coach two years ago. "It could be he plays a part for Chelsea this year," said Hughes, who failed in a bid to keep the player. "He showed enough in his time with us that it made Chelsea very aware of the talent they have." Moses scored four goals in 23 appearances while on loan at Stoke last season and there were suggestions he could be part of a deal to take Asmir Begovic to Stamford Bridge. However, the Bosnian goalkeeper joined the Blues this week with Dutch midfielder Marco van Ginkel going to Stoke on loan, while the future of Moses was left unclear. According to Hughes, that could be because Moses has been given another opportunity to shine at the club that he joined three seasons ago from Wigan. "I think they would possibly like to keep him although if they go into the market again, they could change that idea," he said. "Victor obviously came to us last year and did exceptionally well for us."

Nigeria forward Victor Moses may now be given a chance to play at Chelsea after returning from his loan deal at Stoke, says Potters manager Mark Hughes.

Both sides had one defeat and a draw from the opening two league matches but Arsenal's impressive first-half performance earned them three points. A Santi Cazorla penalty, Alexis Sanchez's fumbled effort and Mesut Ozil's header gave the Gunners a 3-0 lead at half-time. Substitute Roberto Pereyra scored for the Hornets on his debut but it proved to be a consolation for the hosts. Walter Mazzarri's side put in a much-improved performance after the break but the Italian was made to wait for his first win as Watford manager. Media playback is not supported on this device Much like in previous seasons, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been under pressure from some Gunners fans to spend money in the transfer market. It was revealed on Friday that Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi and Spanish striker Lucas Perez were undergoing medicals at the Emirates, and Wenger confirmed after Saturday's win that the deals were done, which takes the club's spending to almost £100m since last season. But they did not look like a team in need of extra artillery after a polished first-half display against Watford. The Gunners broke the deadlock when Sanchez was knocked on the head in the area by Nordin Amrabat, and Cazorla slotted the resulting penalty down the middle. Sanchez, who looked lively throughout, made it 2-0 when he scrambled home from an accurate Theo Walcott ball into the box. And Germany forward Mesut Ozil, making his first start for Arsenal after being rested post-Euro 2016, looked to have put the result beyond doubt on the stroke of half-time when he headed in from Sanchez's pass. Mazzarri, who arrived in the summer, has spent the last two weeks reinforcing his team, bringing in forward Roberto Pereyra from Juventus, Younes Kaboul from Sunderland and fellow defender Daryl Janmaat from Newcastle. The Hornets boss described Pereyra as the "missing point" of his squad and the introduction of the 25-year-old from Argentina invigorated Watford's performance in the second half. His goal came after Etienne Capoue's fierce strike was blocked, and Pereyra pounced and finished with his left foot. Arsenal keeper Petr Cech was then forced into action to save Jose Holebas' thunderbolt and he also had to react quickly to Odion Ighalo's follow up. Although it was a spirited recovery, the damage was already done in the first half. Media playback is not supported on this device Watford manager Walter Mazzarri: "The second half we were good and should have scored more. "Cech played incredible for them, saved a goal two or three times but I am very happy with how our team played. "A lot of players are new so we have to prepare later. The organisational things are still missing and two starting players were out last minute and this really didn't help." Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We had a good cushion at half-time. At the moment we are not completely there physically and could see that in the second half. "Ozil is not physically there completely but what we want from Ozil is assists and goals and I hope he can get that this season, 10 or 15 goals plus the chances he creates. "We have bought two players - Mustafi and Perez. They will integrate into the team now and we will help them join the squad. We had to work very hard to get signings done. We have not got any plans for anyone else now." After the international break, Watford travel to West Ham on Saturday, 10 September while Arsenal host Southampton. Match ends, Watford 1, Arsenal 3.

BBC Radio Solent reports Eisner has already informed manager Paul Cook of his interest in creating the role. The former Walt Disney chief executive has made an offer to buy 100% of the League Two champions. Cook is believed to want a firm input over any potential candidate to ensure minimal disruption to his set-up. Portsmouth won the League Two title on goal difference from Plymouth Argyle on the final day of the season. Cook won the title for a second time in his managerial career after leading Chesterfield to promotion in 2014. Eisner's offer of £5.67m for Portsmouth plus an additional investment of £10m in equity will be voted on by club shareholders and members of the Pompey Supporters' Trust (PST), who currently own 48%.

Portsmouth are considering appointing a director of football next season, should Michael Eisner's proposed takeover of the club go through.

The 29-year-old made 260 appearances for the Spireites after joining in July 2009, and played in 38 games last term. Talbot started his career at Sheffield Wednesday, and has also had spells with Scunthope, Luton and Plymouth. "I've worked with Drew before and he's a fantastic signing," Portsmouth assistant manager Leam Richardson told the Portsmouth website. "He's everything that our fans like about a player - he's robust, works hard and is very fit." Pompey finished sixth in the League Two table last season, but suffered a 3-2 aggregate defeat by Plymouth Argyle in the play-off semi-finals Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Portsmouth have signed full-back Drew Talbot on a two-year deal following his release by Chesterfield.

The European Space Agency astronaut arrived at the orbiting space lab on Monday, along with two crewmates from Russia and America. But what exactly will she be doing during her time in space? The ISS gives the chance to do scientific experiments that cannot be done on Earth, as the station offers an environment of microgravity. Here we run through a few examples of the experiments on Samantha's 'to do' list... Samantha will operate a gadget called an electromagnetic levitator, which can heat metals to 2,000°C and then cool them very quickly. This will be a chance to see what happens to different metals when they go from liquid to solid, without the effect of the Earth's gravity. It's hoped the results will reveal more about the physics of the metals and how they work. Samantha will be testing new machine technology and how well they work in space, such as this astronaut joystick. Using a joystick in space may feel very different in space compared to on Earth. So these experiments will see how being in space might affect how well an astronaut can control a space robot or space machinery. Another thing is that equipment may need to be attached to the astronaut so it doesn't float away. The testing will also see what impact this has. Samantha will be doing lots of experiments to see how being in space affects her body. For example, she will experience 16 sunrises and sunsets every day on the International Space Station and be tested to see how this affects her body clock. Another important subject is food and energy. Experiments to see how much food an astronaut would need for a long mission will be carried out. Samantha will record what she eats and her energy levels over a period of time. Other things that will be looked at include how space affects skin and why many astronauts get headaches.

Italy's first female astronaut, Samantha Cristoforetti, is spending almost six months on the International Space Station.

Yorkshire Water said the problem was detected at water treatment works at Tophill Low and Keldgate. A spokesman said the issue had now been resolved but it could take several hours for water supplies to return to normal. The HU7 and HU8 postcodes were particularly affected by the problem, along with other places in the city. Tens of thousands of residents could be affected, but the exact figure will not be known until an investigation has been carried out. Yorkshire Water said: "We apologise for the inconvenience caused this morning and hope to get the issue resolved and the water supply back to normal by the end of the day."

Thousands of homes in Hull have been left without water due to a technical fault.

The Music Group said a consultation on redundancies at its Tannoy loudspeaker production facility in Coatbridge began on Tuesday. The consultation will last for at least 30 days, according to the company. Production of audio equipment at the plant is understood to be moving to China. Tannoy is one of the oldest audio brands in the world, having been founded as the Tulsemere Manufacturing Company in 1926. It has had a base in Coatbridge since the 1970s. The company remains active in a range of audio sectors including residential hi-fi and studio monitoring. Peter Sommer, senior vice president of lifestyle at The Music Group, said: "I can confirm that Music does propose to dismiss as redundant around 70 staff at its manufacturing and office facility in Coatbridge. "However, I would emphasize that no final decision has been taken in relation to these proposals, which are the subject of a detailed collective consultation process which began on Tuesday 3 May 2016 and which will last for at least 30 days and possibly more. "In the event that the proposed dismissals are ultimately confirmed following the conclusion of the consultation process, the Coatbridge facility would cease operations and the plant would close. "Given that the proposals are at a formative stage, there is of course no definitive time scale in place, but it is envisaged that any closure would likely be towards the end of the year." He added: "Music is of course mindful of its obligation to seek out any suitable alternative employment for any employees whom it is confirmed are to be made redundant, and to that end the company will be doing all that it can to try to identify any suitable alternative roles which may exist in any of its operations in Europe and beyond." Mick Conroy, GMB Scotland senior officer, said: "In the year of Tannoy's 90th anniversary, it's an absolute tragedy that the long-serving Coatbridge workforce has been rewarded with the sack. "These latest redundancies also show the total free-fall in Scotland's manufacturing sector as our slide towards a low-skill, low-wage and precarious economy gathers apace without any intervention. "A key priority of the next Scottish government must be to address our manufacturing crisis by bringing forward a meaningful industrial strategy that can help steer our economy back towards growth."

The owners of an audio manufacturing factory in North Lanarkshire have confirmed that the plant is facing closure, with the loss of 70 jobs.

The move comes after faulty Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) silicone breast implants were recalled in 2010, affecting thousands of women. The inclusion of individual patients' details will not be mandatory. However, all providers of breast implant surgery will be expected to participate in the scheme. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "We want the NHS to be the safest healthcare system in the world and anyone who chooses to have a cosmetic procedure has the right to safe care. "The PIP breast implant scandal in 2010 affected thousands of people which is why we asked NHS Digital to develop a new register which will allow people to be traced swiftly if that is ever needed." As a result of poor record-keeping following the PIP scandal, many women were unable to find out if they had been given the faulty implants. In some cases, because surgery providers had gone out of business, women who received the implants could not be traced. The Breast and Cosmetic Implant Registry - which will be managed by NHS Digital - will include patients treated by both NHS and private providers. And participation in the registry will be noted during Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections. The registry will be expanded in the future to also cover other cosmetic implants, such as buttock or calf implants. It is expected to record more than 20,000 cases of implant surgery every year and allow complications with specific implants to be picked up. Providers will be expected to submit data on patients via an online portal. Explicit consent from patients will be required to add their details to the registry - and this is in addition to the usual consent for the surgical procedure. Noel Gordon, chair of NHS Digital, said the registry marked a major step forward in improving patient safety for people who undergo breast implant surgery each year. "We look forward to working with patients and providers to ensure that the benefits of this important registry are delivered." The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, the Association of Breast Surgery and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons welcomed the registry. In a joint statement, they said: "This will protect patients by providing a way to actively monitor all implants, track and trace their use and provide data for further research, which may be used to further technological advances. "We hope that all patients will consent to the submission of data on their behalf."

A register of patients in England with breast and other cosmetic implants has been set up to allow them to be traced in the event of any safety concerns.

He and his son Gorka were arrested earlier this month as part of a corruption investigation. Villar, who denied all the allegations, has been suspended for one year by the Spanish football federation. "Villar will no longer have any official functions at our organisation," Uefa said on Thursday. "In view of the ongoing court proceedings in Spain, we have no further comments to make on this matter." Uefa said its president, Aleksander Ceferin, had accepted Villar's resignation and had thanked him for his years of service to European football. Villar, a former Athletic Bilbao and Spain midfielder, had headed the Spanish football federation for 29 years. Juan Luis Larrea has been named as interim president.

Suspended Spanish Football Federation president Angel Maria Villar has resigned from his roles as vice-president of Uefa and Fifa.

They are accused of kidnapping, torturing, and killing left-wing activists under the country's military rule between 1976 and 1983. Human rights groups hope the trial will shed light on Operation Condor, a joint effort among South American military rulers aimed at suppressing opposition. The five have denied the charges. They include two former intelligence officers, Honorio Martinez Ruiz and Eduardo Ruffo, former Gen Eduardo Cabanillas, former Col Ruben Visuara, and former military intelligence agent Raul Guglielminetti. A sixth man, former Vice Cmdr Nestor Guillamondegui, was excused from the trial on health grounds, court officials said. They said his health would be monitored to determine if he could face trial at a later date. The men are accused of having run a notorious detention centre in Buenos Aires. More than 200 people are believed to have been kidnapped and taken to the secret prison, known as Automotores Orletti. Most of the detained were from Uruguay, but survivors say it also housed prisoners from Chile, Paraguay, Bolivia and Cuba. Condor was devised in 1975 by military officials from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Its aim was to silence the opposition by sending teams into other countries to track, monitor and kill dissidents. A prosecutor said what happened at Automotores Orletti was "calculated and planned and amounted to a death sentence" for the prisoners. Marcelo Gelman, the son of Argentine poet Juan Gelman, was one of those detained in the clandestine prison in 1976. His body was later found in a cement-filled drum dumped in a river. His wife, Maria Claudia Garcia, was pregnant when she was abducted. She was taken to Uruguay, where she was disappeared. Their daughter, Macarena Gelman, was raised by a police officer in Uruguay. She says she will testify at the trial, which is expected to last months.

Five former intelligence and military officials in Argentina have gone on trial on charges of murdering 65 people.

It is certainly the most quotable, and without question the most revelatory: inside a previously hidden world, showing sport as raw and brutal and beautiful and comic, aped many times but never quite matched. Living With Lions, the fly-on-the-kitbag story of the 1997 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa, is 20 years old. It came to both define that epic trip, and give it an eternal youth. Two decades on, a special BBC Radio 5 Live programme has brought together the men who made it and those who became its unwitting stars. This is the inside story of the ultimate inside story. Cameraman and director Duncan Humphries (DH): "My mate Fred and I had been making commercials about mops and buckets. We were looking for something more fun to do, so we went to the pub at midday. By 3.30pm we had this blinding idea: why not do a film about the Lions?" Director Fred Rees (FR): "We went to tour manager Fran Cotton. He said: 'Sounds like a good idea, it'll cost you thirty grand.' "My father and I, who ran a production company, decided we'd take the risk, because we were told by Fran and everyone else that once we had the rights then BBC or ITV would come on board and give us the money to actually make it. So we paid the £30,000, and went to the BBC and ITV, and instead they all said: 'You're mad, the Lions are never going to win, no-one's going to want to watch this film, we won't give you any money.' "We were terrified. What do we do now? We're on the edge of a cliff. Either we've lost all this money, or we have to find a whole load more to make the film. So, in great stupidity or wisdom, we remortgaged my house." Winger John Bentley (JB): "These two may have had a conversation with Fran, but [coaches] Ian McGeechan and Jim Telfer actually objected to their presence. They didn't want a circus. They decided to ignore these guys. "On the first Friday, all the players went for a drink. These boys were there. They explained they wanted to do it fly-on-the-wall. I told them they wouldn't get it, and they needed a player to help them." DH: "We all got full Lions training kit. So every day we filmed with them we were wearing the same kit as them. Straight away we started blending into the background. "It had never been agreed that we could put microphones on Telfer and McGeechan. But we just did it, every day. And they assumed it must have been in the contract. Which it wasn't." FR: "We lived in a limbo. We weren't the journalists, and we weren't the team. We lived in a place in between. We were ignored most of the time, which was great for the film. You don't want people conscious you are filming them." JB: "If it's any consolation, Martin Johnson ignored all the players too." Minutes before the opening tour match, against Eastern Province, captain Jason Leonard gathered his team-mates around him in a tight circle. His speech - set against the sound of clattering studs, nervous retching and wild exhortations ("Squeeze the arms! Squeeze!") - was Churchill meets Barking via several broken noses ("What more do you want to achieve? It's there for us…"). We nearly never knew it happened. DH: "Before he called the lads together, Jason threw us out. So Fred and I had a conflab, and we thought, if we don't get in the first dressing room, by the time the Tests come round we won't have a chance. We had to get in there. "So we went to see Fran. 'Fran, we shook hands on this.' 'Leave it to me.' Fran walked in, tapped Jason on the shoulder with his big hand, and that was it - we were in." JB: "The camera had never been in a Lions dressing room. Neither had I. But we didn't even notice they were there." FR: "There was a lot of swearing. We had one 20-second section with Keith Wood where he dropped 13 f-bombs. "We phoned him up afterwards and told him. He said: 'Yeah, that sounds a bit much. I might have to open a supermarket or something.' So we halved the swearing, and when we played it back to him, he said: 'That really doesn't sound like me - you better put it all back in.' JB: The phantom puker was Neil Jenkins. And sometimes Keith Wood too." The hand-held camera Bentley asked for was passed on to team-mate Rob Wainwright and then his fellow Scot Doddie Weir. While Weir's first attempt at self-filming did not go well ("Take two, because in part one I had a wee swear…") the next few weeks revealed just how strong a bond a Lions tour can forge - and what it's like when that bond is forcibly broken. In the tour match against Mpumalanga, Weir's knee was wrecked by a brutal stamp at a ruck. When he was told in the dressing room by doctor James Robson that his tour was over, Humphries' camera was there to capture his reaction. Media playback is not supported on this device Doddie Weir (DW): "You say it breaks your heart to watch it. It broke mine too. "I tried to look cheerful for the boys. It's the way I've always been, to show a positive side. But I was going home, and it had been a wonderful trip and a wonderful tour. "The rugby was pretty special, yet the biggest wrench for me was leaving the 35 players. Bentos [John Bentley] was pretty special. He was my new mate. Leaving that was the biggest thing. The video picked that up, and our camaraderie." DH: "It was close to feeling like I was intruding on private grief. Bentos and Rob and Doddie had been so brilliant and open to us, and so you'd developed more of a relationship with them. "Witnessing Doddie - who had been playing so well on that tour - there was a moment when you wondered about turning the camera off. But you stay, and if someone says 'sod off', you sod off slightly slower. "When I stopped filming, I said: 'Doddie, I'm really sorry.' It wasn't a nice thing to film, but it shows Doddie as the person he is." DW: "I was a shy boy. Meeting John Bentley, who was the main social convenor, really opened my eyes." JB: "There were some lonely days. My wife had the tour itinerary, and she would send letters and photos of the kids. My daughter was six months old when I left, and she was changing in front of my eyes. It was a big ask for me. "After I went to see Doddie to say goodbye, I went back to my room and cried my eyes out. I didn't want to be there then. And Doddie was the nicest man in the world. I love you Doddie, I really do." DW: "You're pretty special, Bentos. You're my favourite." JB: "I really love you. This is a wonderful opportunity to tell everyone you love me. Tell me you love me. Please." DW: "I'll text you." Media playback is not supported on this device After beating Western Province, the squad retired to Cantina Tequila in Cape Town for a few beers. And then several more. With champagne. And tequila. And a lot of singing - even from Martin Johnson. FR: "The Lions weren't holding back, so we didn't think they minded filming it. We just rocked up." DH: "I went in the car with Jonno and Geech [Ian McGeechan]. By then we were part of the trip." JB: "We had a great night. It finished some time on Monday. That's the real side of touring. "People ask why Wonderwall became such a big song for us. We were in the bar that night, and it just came on. We didn't choose it. We hadn't played it in the dressing room. Rugby tours are all about singing, but that just came on and we all sang it. "The words just worked. 'I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now…'" DH: "We wish you'd chosen another song, because it cost us a fortune in rights to use it." Media playback is not supported on this device Forwards coach Telfer was a man possessed on that tour. Convinced - correctly - the Test series would be won or lost up front, he hammered his forwards on the training pitch, then stirred their souls afterwards. The lines have lost little of their power over the past two decades. "There are two types of rugby players boys - honest ones, and the rest…" "This is your (bleep) Everest, boys. Very few ever get a chance in rugby terms to get for the top of Everest. You have the chance today. "They don't think (bleep) all of us. Nothing. We're here just to make up the (bleep) numbers… "You have to find your own solace - your own drive, your ambition, your own inner strength. Because the moment's arrived for the greatest game of your (bleep) life." DH: "We used to call Jim 'Grandad', although not to his face. He was this gentle, grey-haired man. And then he would turn up for training, and this monster would appear." FR: "It's one of the magic things, that we managed to capture Jim and Ian making these amazing speeches. They have no ego, those two. "It wasn't about them, and them feeling they were achieving. It was all about the players. Jim's words, and his delivery, are gold." DH: "You would hear Jim rehearsing, all grumbling and mumbling. And then he would deliver it perfectly, and you would think, 'Where did that come from?'" JB: "We talk about groundbreaking footage for the viewers. I'd never seen those speeches. None of the backs had. They were made to the forwards. None of the forwards had mentioned it. I watched it, and thought, 'Wow!'" Ian McGeechan (IM): "It's the happiest I've ever seen Jim. That was him coming out. It was brilliant." JB: "It was magical footage. You couldn't script it. That wasn't pantomime; that wasn't done for the camera. They were just lucky to have caught it." DH: "I was a table away when I filmed it, but I don't think they even knew we were there. They were so, so focused. "I remember the build-up to the Everest one. The sound man said: 'Jim's off on one…' He was grumbling, he was mumbling, doing the rehearsals in his own mind. I thought, 'Don't muck this zoom up.'" Three hours before the second Test, with the Lions 80 minutes away from a historic series win, McGeechan sat his players down in the team hotel. His speech would be different in tone to those of Telfer, but its impact was just as significant: "On that field sometimes today, all it will be between you is a look. No words, just a look. That will say everything. And the biggest thing it will say is 'you are special'." JB: "That Geech speech smashes me." FR: "There's so much heart in there. There is something very beautiful about that speech." JB: "I was sat there crying. Crying, and scared to lift my hand to my face because of the crying. "Because he spoke about the things that were outside the room, like your family. I missed mine so badly. I hadn't seen them for seven weeks. All of us did. Geech understood." DH: "We had two Churchillian speakers. A few years later, the speeches on behind-the-scenes films felt too rehearsed. But there were times when I was filming when you could feel the hairs on the back of your neck rising." Tour over, series won, Fred sat down to edit the hundreds of hours of footage down to just under three hours. DH: "The blokes who ran the four Home Unions were shocked, when they came to watch it, by all the swearing." FR: "We played them the final sequence. When Jerry Guscott drops the winning drop-goal in the second Test, [chairman of the Lions committee] Ray Williams leapt to his feet and shouted: 'Yes!' They were OK with the swearing after that." JB: "When we had the tour reunion, Fred and Duncan came to it. They became like friends." FR: "The film is two hours 50 minutes long. The Lions win the Test series in the last five minutes. If they'd lost the series, it would still have been the same film. "We knew we'd made something pretty magical. We released it as a VHS, and it quite quickly became the most successful rugby video there had been. You can never know how the world will react, but we knew we had something special." DH: "In 2005 I was filming an advert with Jonno and Brian O'Driscoll. Brian was asked what got him into rugby. He replied that the Living With Lions film had been one of the big reasons. "Jonno started laughing. 'This bloke made it.' Brian took my hand, shook it and said: 'Thank you very much.'" JB: "Everyone around me said it should have been called 'Living With John Bentley'. "I heard from the tour press officer when the film had been put together, and was told that I should have a look before it came out. So I went into the garden, and shared the news with my wife of what I'd been doing. "She went ballistic. 'You were supposed to be playing rugby! What the hell were you doing? Why are you having to look at it?' "A week or so later, I was away playing with Newcastle. I phoned home to see how the kids were. My wife told me a package had arrived for me. "'Oh really?' 'Yes, it's a video from your trip to South Africa.' "'Oh God…' "'Well I've watched it, John, and it's just you being an idiot. As usual.'" IM: "My wife tells me that when she's feeling depressed, Living With Lions is one of the videos she puts on. For that moment in time, it was the watershed moment. The Lions were here to stay."

It might just be the greatest sports documentary to ever come out of Britain.

The government has been accused of failing to do more to help 2.6 million women born in the 1950s who have lost out because of changes to pension law. The SNP's Mhairi Black said it was "laughable" the problem could not be fixed when the government had found £1bn to fund its deal with the DUP. Minister Guy Opperman said he would look at cases of financial hardship. But he faced shouts of "shame on you" when he said the government was "actually doing a significant amount" to address the individual difficulties of older workers trying to enter the labour market - including by offering them apprenticeships. Mr Opperman, setting out the government's work on "lifelong learning" said: "The reality is over 200,000 people over 60 have entered further education since 2014/15. "We have also extended apprenticeship opportunities as one of the best routes to skilled employment for people of all ages and gender. "Such apprenticeships in England, for example, in 2014/15... 12% of the starting apprenticeships were for those aged 45." Mr Opperman was heckled by MPs as he outlined the details. Labour's Graham Jones, raising a point of order, said: "I'm struggling to hear the debate, did the minister just say that women aged 64 could go on an apprenticeship course?" The debate centred on the plight of the so-called Waspi women - Women Against State Pension Inequality - whose aim is to achieve fair transitional arrangements for women born in the 1950s, for whom the state pension age is being raised from 60 to 66 by 2020. Ms Black said she had been contacted by a woman who said her friend had committed suicide after the general election result "because she could not face what was going to happen to her". "Citizens committing suicide over an issue that could be solved like that - an issue the government could do a U-turn on at any given moment," she said. Ms Black said it was "an absolute disgrace" that a debate on the issue was having to be held again. Turning to Mr Opperman, a pensions minister, she said it was "laughable" that the government "can find a billion pounds for a deal to cling on to power, but we cannot find the money to give women the pensions that they are due". "The only other two things they are guilty of is being born in the 50s and the fact they are women." Labour's Carolyn Harris said the government "has betrayed these women - they've stolen their security and they've shattered their dreams without time to prepare and make the necessary alternative arrangements".

A minister has been heckled by MPs for suggesting women over 60 facing poverty could start an apprenticeship.

BBC News School Report has enjoyed many highlights since it started in 2007 - from world record attempts to interviews with global figures.

The Dane, Cardiff's top scorer last season, had seen an early effort ruled out for off-side and then found Burton keeper Stephen Bywater in fine form. But with three minutes left Zohore held off two defenders to curl a shot home. Burton could have led in the first half when Marvin Sordell's goal-bound shot was blocked, but had to thank Bywater after half-time as Cardiff dominated. Luck had not been with Nigel Clough's side this week with Liam Boyce suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury that will keep the striker out for most of the season. But Burton were thankful to survive an early scare when Zohore pulled away at the back post to turn in Joe Bennett's cross, only to be flagged for off-side. Zohore had an even better chance after being played through by Lee Tomlin, but shot wide across Bywater's goal. Burton should have scored as the game sparked to life just before the break, only for Sol Bamba's last-ditch tackle to deny Sordell from Lloyd Dyer's pull-back. Cardiff started the second half with more urgency and - cheered on by 1,700 travelling fans in a 5,050 crowd at the Pirelli Stadium - soon created a chance for Junior Hoilett, whose shot deflected just wide of the near post. From the resulting corner Bywater pulled off a fine save to stop Bamba's powerful effort. The defender was proving a real nuisance for Albion and Bamba again got free from a free-kick, but headed straight at Bywater. The Bluebirds turned the screw as Cardiff boss Neil Warnock made attack-minded changes and Hoilett's header was deflected wide, Zohore's shot was tipped over and Mendez-Laing blazed wide when well placed. But just as Albion, again tipped as one of the relegation favourites, looked to have battled to a point, Zohore bullied his way into the area to give Warnock a perfect start to his 50th year in football. Burton manager Nigel Clough: "In the second half they put us under a lot of pressure. They put a lot of balls into the box and it has taken a brilliant finish to beat us in the end. "There is not much you can do when someone rifles one in the bottom corner from 20-odd yards out. "I thought for the way we defended we deserved a point and I thought we dealt with things very well and we missed our opportunity in the first half if anything." Cardiff manager Neil Warnock told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "It's a great way to start and you could see the optimism, the fans were fantastic today and kept us at it. The volume was unbelievable. "I tried to be positive with my changes, I made positive subs, because I wanted us to try and win the game. "I felt at half-time we had to do a little bit more going forward... I think the changes helped with that." Match ends, Burton Albion 0, Cardiff City 1. Second Half ends, Burton Albion 0, Cardiff City 1. Foul by Luke Murphy (Burton Albion).

James Vaughan broke the deadlock on 61 minutes before doubling the Shakers' lead six minutes later. But Bury's Niall Maher was dismissed for giving away a 70th-minute penalty, which Shaun Williams converted. Callum Butcher then headed an 86th-minute equaliser before substitute Aiden O'Brien claimed a stoppage-time winner to stretch Bury's club-record losing run to 10 games. Mid-table Millwall were actually awarded a penalty early on, only for referee Chris Sarginson to change his mind. Vaughan then headed wide and team-mate Neil Danns had a shot deflected off target Millwall replied with Harry Smith and Fred Onyedinma going close, while Joel Martin's free-kick was tipped over after the break. But Mayor crossed for Vaughan to head in off the bar before the Bury striker side-footed home from a Scott Burgess lay-off. Moments later Onyedinma's goalbound effort was blocked by Maher's arm and Williams swept the spot-kick into the corner. Keeper Ben Williams kept out an Onyedinma header as Millwall pressed, but the Lions levelled as Butcher scored from Shane Ferguson's free-kick, before O'Brien turned in Mahlon Romeo's low cross.

Steven Rodriguez, who was better known as A$AP Yams or Yamborghini, died aged 26 on 18 January at Brooklyn's Woodhull Medical Centre. He founded the US rap collective A$AP Mob along with fellow New Yorkers A$AP Bari and A$AP Illz. Now the New York Times reports that his death was caused by acute mixed drug intoxication. Opiates and benzodiazepines were found in his system and it was ruled an accident. After his death artists paid tribute to him on social media. Drake tweeted: "Rest in peace Yams. A$AP is family." Azealia Banks wrote: "ASAP YAMS should be remembered as a leader, an innovator and most importantly as an important part of NYC youth culture."

American rapper A$AP Yams died of an accidental drug overdose, according to New York City's chief medical examiner.

The "call for sites" forms part of the second stage of a comprehensive review of the island's planning strategy. The department has stressed that no guarantees will be given as to where development can take place, but it wants to assess the potential. Islanders have until 17:00 BST on 13 September to submit applications. The information will help form the Strategic Land Use Plan. Two main areas have already been deemed suitable for development in Guernsey. These are St Peter Port and St Sampson/Vale, which have already been extensively developed. There are 10 further areas which are under consideration as "local centres", where development will be encouraged in order to provide housing and employment opportunities. Only submissions relating to these areas will be considered. Details of successful and unsuccessful submissions will be published in the final review, meaning there will be no confidentiality other than in respect of contact details. Information about the consultation and the submission form required have been made available on the department's section of the States website.

Guernsey's Environment Department has invited islanders to identify the parcels of land that could be suitable for development.

The Easter Road side have lost their last four league games and seen Falkirk open a six-point gap in second place. Boss Alan Stubbs has given his players some rest during the international break to renew their energy and focus. "The boys are getting time off. The manager said, 'you'd better come back refreshed', and it was an order rather than anything else," said McGinn. The midfielder joins up with the Scotland squad on Friday ahead of the second of their two friendlies against Denmark on Tuesday, and welcomes the change in scene. He told BBC Scotland: "It's good to get away. We've played a lot of games, and that isn't a complaint or an excuse, it's just that sometimes it's good to get away from it to recharge the batteries and that's what we'll be doing. "A big reason for being up near the top of the table was keeping clean sheets and being very astute defensively. Now we're conceding poor goals and not scoring goals at the other end. "It's a very confusing time for us, but we're determined to work as hard as we can. We're just not getting the breaks or producing the quality we did in the first half of the season and it's something we're trying to eradicate, and hopefully we will before the end of the season." Hibs have two games in hand on Falkirk, who lie in the promotion play-off spot, with Rangers a further 11 points clear at the top. But Falkirk could extend their advantage to nine points by beating Livingston on Saturday. "It's close and that's fair play to Falkirk, and something we're disappointed by," McGinn noted. "We're determined to get that second place and make sure we've got the best chance of going up. "I'm not playing as well as I was just before Christmas. As a team, we're all not playing as we can and that's evident in the results that are coming for us. We're working hard to try to nail down what the problem is and I'm sure we'll get back to winning ways sometime soon." McGinn feels he has developed as a player since his move from St Mirren to Easter Road last summer, and credits Stubbs and the Hibs coaching staff for his improvement. As captain of the Scotland Under-21s, he was one of several young players who impressed Gordon Strachan when he spent time with the squad last November. The 21-year-old aims to use his time training with the squad ahead of the Denmark game at Hampden to show he can make the step up to full international level. "It's a big step up and I'm really looking forward to showing I'm capable of making that step up," he added. "That's something myself and some of the other new boys will be looking to do. "The last trip with the 21s that Gordon was there, we knew from the stuff that Ricky [Sbragia] was telling us that he was really keen on how people conducted themselves about the place and in training. "We knew that if we trained well, we'd have a chance and he'd have a look at us. It's something that I'll be looking to do this time again and hopefully perform as well as I did the last time. "My first few initial games for Scotland [Under-21s] were difficult. I didn't adapt well, but the more I played the more I got used to the international style. Being the captain of the 21s added a bit of maturity and helped me for the step up."

John McGinn admits Hibernian's players are "baffled" by the team's recent slump in form in the Championship.

But co-operative housing schemes are little known in Wales, the study for the Wales Co-operative Centre warns. The research was commissioned following the Welsh government's own decision to back such projects as a way to build affordable homes. Currently, co-operative housing accounts for less than 1% of UK homes. In Estonia, nearly 10,000 co-operative housing organisations own 60% of the country's houses while they account of one in five homes in Sweden and Poland. Under co-operative housing models, groups of like-minded people can come together and buy land to provide housing, and members of that co-op group can then buy shares in the new homes. It is an alternative to renting properties, and gives those in the new homes a financial stake in the housing, without resorting to heavy mortgage debt. "Wales has a long tradition of co-operation and a government with a strong commitment to co-operative approaches," said Keith Edwards, from the Chartered Institute of Housing Cymru (CIHC), which was one of the report's authors. "The housing crisis we face demands imaginative responses and co-operative housing is at the forefront of new thinking," he added. The study was commissioned by the Wales Co-operative Centre, and carried out by the CIHC and the Confederation of Co-operative Housing (CCH). They spoke to nearly 300 people in Wales, most of them living in the private rented sector at the moment and what the researchers termed "reluctant renters". All of them expressed an interest in what such schemes could offer them but 67% had never heard of co-operative housing before. "It was really exciting that so many of the ordinary people who came to the sessions had never heard of co-operative housing before but immediately got it," said Nic Bliss, chair of the CCH. "And that they were particularly into it for community reasons. "The potential for co-operative housing in Wales is great and there are several different models being explored which meet different needs." At present, there are 836 co-operative and mutual housing societies registered in the UK - but just 3% of those are in Wales. Dave Palmer, project manager of the Welsh government funded Co-operative Housing Project within the Wales Co-operative Centre, said it was clear that schemes in Wales "are at an early stage in development". "But the pioneer projects that we are working with are getting ready to deliver a number of co-operative homes," he said. The report, which is being presented at the Co-operative Congress in Cardiff on Saturday, says there are already 10 potential schemes in the pipeline, including a 50-home site in Cardiff, an estate redevelopment in Newport, an expansion of a community land trust at Rhyl in Denbighshire, and even an artistic community housing project in the Vale of Glamorgan. "The Wales Co-operative Centre and Welsh government are keen to continue supporting and encouraging this positive start, by empowering the pioneers to deliver these much needed homes," Mr Palmer added.

Housing owned and built by groups of people could help turn "reluctant renters" into home owners, a new report suggests.

He was also being assessed for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Post-traumatic stress disorder is an anxiety disorder caused by witnessing or being involved in a frightening or distressing event. People naturally feel afraid when in danger, but the legacy of some traumatic events is a change in perception of fear. They may feel stressed or frightened in day-to-day life. Any traumatic event has the potential to lead to PTSD including: People will be generally affected within one month of the event. There is no blood test for PTSD, it instead relies on the judgement of a doctor speaking to their patient about their symptoms. There must have been an initial traumatic event involving a close brush with death or serious violence. There are then four criteria which must be present: "This has to impair day-to-day function," said Neil Greenberg, a defence professor of mental health at the King's College London. "With properly skilled doctors it can be very easy to diagnose, it could take a few hours," says Prof Greenberg. But he says doctors must have a good suspicion of PTSD before starting to diagnose someone, as patients may not bring up their trauma history. It can also be a challenge because some people deliberately "overinflate symptoms", sometimes for financial reasons, while others seek to avoid the stigma of a PTSD diagnosis. For many people, the symptoms will go away within a month - but others will need psychotherapy or, if that fails, medication. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help change the way people think about the traumatic event in order to control fear and anxiety. This involves going through the event in detail with a therapist. Antidepressants, such as paroxetine, are used if psychotherapy does not work. Prof Greenberg, who also works with the UK Psychological Trauma Society, says treatment is still effective many years after the incident. However, after such a long time the symptoms are very unlikely to clear up without treatment.

A soldier who killed three colleagues and injured 16 others in a shooting at US Army base was being treated for depression and anxiety.

Celebrations were held in the streets around the Belgrave Road, known as the Golden Mile. About 35,000 turned out for the lights switch on last week, and even more people are believed to have attended the main event. Diwali is a celebration of light over darkness and is a major Hindu festival also marked by Sikhs and Jains. Source: BBC Religion and Ethics The annual Leicester event, which culminates in a large firework display in nearby Cossington Street Recreation Ground, is thought to be one of the largest Diwali parties outside India. Manjula Sood, chairman of the Leicester Council of Faiths, said that like many Hindus, she started the day with family prayers at home before exchanging sweets. "This year we are going to have a spectacular fireworks show and people will see how beautiful it is and then we greet each other on Belgrave Road," she said. She added: "It's not only for Hindus, Sikhs or Jains. This has become such a wonderful festival. You see people from everywhere, not only Leicester. They come from outside Leicester and share in our joy." As well as fireworks, people can enjoy Rangoli street art by artist Janak Chauhan as well as entertainment on stage in the park. Across the rest of the city, events have been held to celebrate Diwali including arts and crafts at Newarke Houses Museum and Gardens and several shows at Curve theatre. Belgrave Road and Belgrave Flyover will be closed to traffic from 17:30 to 21:30 GMT.

Tens of thousands of people have celebrated Diwali in Leicester city centre.

The composer, whose hits include The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Evita, is charging between £25-£95 for his latest London musical School of Rock. The average ticket price for a West End musical in 2016 was £49.28 - up almost 6% on the previous year. "Theatre is incredibly labour intensive," he said. "On the whole, the prices of West End theatre are incredibly reasonable considering the cost of what it is to put something on." Last year, Lord Lloyd-Webber revealed that the physical running costs for one of his theatres was £38,000 per week. On top of that, there are the costs of staging the production itself. The Financial Times estimated that the total weekly costs of a top musical are £150,000-£250,000. And most musicals spend years in development. The Stage estimated that the budget for the Broadway production of Groundhog Day - not a Lloyd Webber production - was $18m (£14m). Elsewhere in the West End, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has a top price of £140, while Hamilton has £200 premium tickets for when it officially moves to London in December. The topic of ticket costs often arouses strong feelings. Actor Andrew Scott recently called the high prices "disgusting", while last year, Mark Gatiss said theatre was an "exclusive club for rich white people". Lord Lloyd-Webber also pointed out that UK theatre tickets include 20% VAT - while tickets in the US are not taxed. The composer was speaking to BBC arts editor Will Gompertz's Heat Map programme on BBC 5 live, and also said he is currently looking for an idea for a new musical "rather desperately". "I must say I don't think I've ever felt more excited about musicals," he said. "I feel like I'm back when I'm started." That is partly down to a resurgence of the genre in the US with hit shows like Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen and Come From Away. In comparison, the UK is coming up with few successful original musicals. "Everything is so vibrant in America, which has always really been the home of musicals. Fourteen new musicals this year. I mean, fourteen. This year we've only had two in Britain." Lord Lloyd-Webber made his name in the 1970s collaborating with lyricist Tim Rice on shows like Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Evita. The pair haven't worked together on a full show since - but Lord Lloyd-Webber hasn't ruled out a reunion. "It's a shame in a way we didn't go on writing together but we are very different people in several ways," he said. "Never say never, but Tim has written the lyrics to the most successful musical currently playing in the world, which is The Lion King. He's got Beauty and the Beast, he's got Aladdin. "He doesn't exactly need to write. If he wanted to do something, if he wanted to come to me with an idea... I think it would have to be him wanting to do the idea. "If I went to him and said, 'Look, shall we do this?' I don't think he'd want to do that." Lord Lloyd-Webber was speaking ahead of receiving an outstanding contribution honour at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards on Sunday.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has said ticket prices for West End shows are "incredibly reasonable" given the cost of bringing a production to the stage.

9 February 2017 Last updated at 15:00 GMT Thousands of athletes from around the world will be going for glory on the ice and snow. So what events will there be, how many medals are up for grabs and what will the mascots look like? Here's Ayshah with all you need to know!

There's exactly one year to go until the Winter Olympics officially kick off in the Asian country of South Korea.

The 32-year-old had been in poor form but made a double century to inspire his side's fightback after England made 629-6 declared in Cape Town. "I believe I can be of greater value as a fully focused batsman and senior player at this time," said Amla. AB de Villiers will lead South Africa in the third Test in Johannesburg, which starts on 14 January. After his appointment as successor to Graeme Smith in June 2014, Amla captained the world number one side in 14 Tests. He won four and drew six but came under pressure during a 3-0 series defeat in India. Amla said he had considered quitting before the start of the series against England, who won the first Test by 241 runs in Durban last week. Until his marathon effort at Newlands, Amla, a veteran of 90 Tests and 7,108 runs, had not hit a Test century since December 2014. "I honestly feel a lot of the criticism that Hashim has faced in the last couple of weeks is very harsh," said South Africa coach Russell Domingo. "He is one of South Africa's greatest players. There hasn't been enough respect shown of his achievements as a player." De Villiers had raised doubts about his future in Test cricket during the first Test because of his busy workload, and handed over wicketkeeping duties to Quinton de Kock for the second match. The 31-year-old, who already leads the one-day side, said: "It is an incredible honour to captain South Africa in any format. The captaincy has obviously come at short notice and is the realisation of a lifelong dream. "At the moment my priority and focus is placed on leading this team to what can be a memorable series win against England. This Test squad is motivated and determined to turn our performances around and I'm looking forward to taking up that challenge as captain." England captain Alastair Cook was sad to learn of Amla's resignation. "You're under pressure as a captain for a lot of the time," said Cook. "It's always sad when someone steps down because to captain your country is a huge honour and a real privilege. "He'll have his reasons and I wish him all the best - he's a really nice guy." Cricket South Africa chief executive Haroon Lorgat said Amla "still had a huge role to play in shaping the success of our team". He added: "He is just that type of a person and we are very fortunate to have him in our stable. "I want to thank AB for readily accepting the challenge of rebuilding our Test team as we seek to remain the best team in the world."

Hashim Amla resigned as South Africa captain immediately after his side drew the second Test against England.

Hamilton has triumphed in all three races since retiring from the season-opener in Australia, which Rosberg won. Rosberg said: "Every weekend is crucial but the results momentum is on his side and I need to try to turn it around. "Definitely that is the case. I have come here to win, to try to extend the lead in the championship." Lewis Hamilton has completed 169 racing laps out of a possible 224 this year (following his retirement from the Australian GP). Of those, he has spent 164 in the lead (97%). Hamilton is four points behind his team-mate in the drivers' standings and the Mercedes car has such a performance advantage that the two are effectively competing for wins only with each other at every race. Hamilton said: "This is a much more intense season so far and perfection is required every weekend to get that result, especially when you have a good team-mate who is also doing an exceptional job." Hamilton has out-qualified Rosberg in three of the four races so far this season, each time when there was a wet qualifying session. Rosberg said: "What I need is a normal weekend and then I'm sure I'll be able to turn things around." Both men said they expected the nature of Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya could mean they face a tougher challenge from their rivals than has been the case so far. Long, demanding corners predominate at the track, which is renowned as one of the severest tests of a car's aerodynamic capabilities on the Formula 1 calendar. The competitive order may also shift as Barcelona is a race where teams traditionally bring their first big upgrade package of the year. Hamilton said: "It depends what step they make but the Red Bulls are at the back of my mind. "They have perhaps a little more downforce than us, they just don't have as much power. "This is very much a downforce-dependent circuit, so you'll get a real good indication of how good their car is." Alonso finished third in the last race in China after a troubled start to the season for Ferrari, but said he would not start the weekend of his home race expecting to repeat that result. "We will do our best but we know it will be a tough weekend. Today, sitting here, if I tell you I will fight for the podium, I would lie to you and I don't want to do that for all the people coming," said the 32-year-old, a hero for the tens of thousands of Spanish fans who flock to the race. Four-time champion Vettel, who has been beaten by team-mate Daniel Ricciardo in the last two races and is struggling to adapt to the new Red Bull, said: "Mercedes are in a very strong position. They are difficult to beat, but it's never impossible. "At the moment there are a couple of things we need to get on top of and then it should be a different story." Spanish Grand Prix coverage details.

Nico Rosberg says he must stop Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton's run of successive victories at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.

The drone targeted his vehicle in a remote area of south-west Pakistan, near the Afghan border, on Saturday. US Secretary of State John Kerry said Mansour had posed "a continuing, imminent threat to US personnel". Mansour assumed the leadership in July 2015, replacing Taliban founder and spiritual head Mullah Mohammad Omar. The Afghan National Security Directorate (NDS) said on Sunday that Mansour had been killed in the Dalbandi area of Balochistan province - the first official confirmation of the killing of the Taliban leader. Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and defence ministry spokesman Daulat Waziri also said that Mansour had been killed. Pakistan's government said on Sunday the drone strike was a violation of its sovereignty. The passenger thought to be Mansour had a passport under the name Wali Muhammad and was returning from Iran, it said. He had yet to be formally identified, Pakistan said. Profile: Mullah Akhtar Mansour Why the Taliban face a leadership crisis The Pentagon announced on Saturday that an operation had taken place near the town of Ahmad Wal at around 15:00 (10:00 GMT) and had been authorised by President Barack Obama. It said the strike had "probably" killed Mansour and an armed male combatant travelling with him. There have been conflicting reports from the Taliban. Senior commander Mullah Abdul Rauf told Associated Press that Mansour had been killed, but that the strike happened late on Friday. Other reports denied his death. One unnamed Taliban commander told Reuters: "We heard about these baseless reports, but this not first time. Just wanted to share with you my own information that Mullah Mansour has not been killed." False rumours have often surrounded Taliban leaders. The death of Mullah Mansour would be a big blow for the Taliban. He was gradually tightening his grip on the movement by bringing into his fold other leading Taliban members, including a son and a brother of his predecessor Mullah Mohammed Omar, and by launching large scale attacks on Afghan security forces. Under his leadership, the Taliban managed to capture an important city last year for the first time in 15 years. Mansour also managed to silence the splinter Taliban group under Mullah Muhammad Rasool, which challenged his leadership, and is credited by his followers for containing so-called Islamic State in Taliban areas. A vacuum created by his death would once again trigger a leadership struggle. Mr Kerry, on a visit to Myanmar, said: "This action sends a clear message to the world that we will continue to stand with our Afghan partners as they work to build a more stable, united, secure and prosperous Afghanistan. "Peace is what we want. Mansour was a threat to that effort." A spokesman for Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said: "Our hope in the wake of the strike is for the Afghan-led peace process to bring lasting peace and stability." Mr Abdullah said Mansour had been "the main figure preventing the Taliban joining the peace process".

Afghanistan's spy agency has confirmed that Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour has been killed, after the US targeted him in a drone strike.

Defence ministry spokesman Lt Gen Sergei Rudskoi said the Syrian army was poised to defeat IS militants there. But US officials said Russia staged no air strikes in Syria in the past week. The strikes come days after President Vladimir Putin ordered the withdrawal of most Russian forces from Syria. IS militants captured the ancient city of Palmyra last May. Since then it has blown up monumental temples, arches and statues in the Unesco World Heritage site, bringing global condemnation. Meanwhile, IS claimed on Friday it had killed five Russian soldiers in fighting around Palmyra in recent days. Russia has not commented on the claim and there is no independent verification. In recent months, IS has been losing ground to President Bashar al-Assad's forces, rebel groups, and Kurdish militia fighters. Gen Rudskoi told reporters in Moscow that the Syrian army had also seized key hilltop areas near the city of Aleppo and cut supply routes leading to the IS-held city. US Central Command spokesman Patrick Ryder said there had been some bombardments in the Palmyra region but that they were thought to be made by Russian artillery. Russia had withdrawn most if not all of its strike aircraft and there had been little movement of its ground forces, Col Ryder said. Indirect peace talks aimed at resolving the Syrian conflict have been taking place in Geneva for the past week, but so far shown no progress.

Russia says its warplanes are carrying out up to 25 air strikes a day around the Syrian city of Palmyra in support of Syrian forces trying to oust so-called Islamic State (IS).

Northumbria Police said the pair were arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images. A spokesman said investigations were ongoing to "ensure the safeguarding of those involved" and to check that there was no ongoing risk of exploitation. Both boys have been bailed pending further inquiries. Supt Sarah Pitt said the force was working with schools across South Tyneside to make children "aware of the risks around sharing images of themselves and others via text and social network sites". She said: "The internet is an essential tool and social networking sites are a popular way for children to communicate with their friends, but we need to make sure they stay safe online and know how to use it responsibly. "It's very important that we make sure young people stay safe online and are aware of the risks and what they can do to avoid them. "Anyone who may have concerns about images they have shared or received should speak with a trusted adult or the police straight away."

Two schoolboys aged 12 and 13 have been arrested after concerns were raised about children sharing inappropriate images on social media.

Sharnford Traffic Action Group (STAG) said some motorists were clocked at "eye watering" speeds topping 100mph. It has campaigned against dangerous driving on Aston Lane and the B4114 in Leicestershire for more than 10 years. The county council has offered to install speed bumps on Aston Lane at a cost of £12,000 to the parish council. More on this story and other news in Leicestershire Motorists have been recorded by the village's speed monitor, which is moved around Sharnford - located near Hinckley and about 11 miles (17.7 km) from Leicester. STAG, which owns the monitor, sends the speeds of the vehicles to Leicestershire Police and the county council every month. It said according to its data, more than 13,000 motorists drove above 50mph in a 30mph zone in the past year and about 562,000 since November 2015. In the space of about 15 months, a total of 2.75m vehicles travelled through the village and about one in five - around 21% - were speeding, the data suggested. The group claims that if they had the powers to fine drivers the charges would total £5.6m. Sharnford parish councillor Mike Shirley, secretary of STAG, said: "The eye-watering figures demonstrate the inarguable need for proper, enforceable speed monitoring 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in the interests of safety." He added that homes have been damaged, lampposts and signs felled and pedestrians knocked over by lorries trying to navigate the narrow streets. Leicestershire County Council said their own speed survey showed the village would "not qualify" for speed cameras and it cannot afford to build a bypass without government funding.

Villagers who set up their own speed monitor say they have recorded more than half a million drivers breaking the 30mph limit since November 2015.

They then vowed to put their careers on hold for 23 years. That time is now up. So at 23 seconds past midnight on Wednesday they made their comeback at a book launch in Liverpool. The duo were greeted by 500 fans as they arrived at the News From Nowhere book shop in an ice cream van that played their hit What Time Is Love? and O Sole Mio. That marked the start of a three-day festival of talks, performance and live art, which will continue on Wednesday with a debate on the topic "Why Did the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid?" However, fans have been told that The KLF's Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond will not be performing any music. Their new novel 2023, described as "a utopian costume drama set in the near future written in the recent past", is due to be performed in full in the city on Thursday. The event will finish on Friday with a "Graduation Ball" headlined by a hitherto unknown artist named Badger Kull, who is billed as having just one three-minute song, titled Toxteth Day of the Dead. The KLF - who also went by names including The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The K Foundation and The Timelords - had hits like 3AM Eternal, Last Train to Trancentral and What Time Is Love? in the late 1980s and early '90s. As well as their electrifying pop-trance hits, Cauty and Drummond became known for sabotaging their own success and subverting the music business in a serious of infamous stunts. Here are four of them: The duo were ordered to destroy all copies of their 1987 debut album after a complaint from Abba, who objected to the unauthorised sampling of Dancing Queen. Cauty and Drummond travelled to Sweden to try to track Abba down in person. But they failed, so they presented the gold disc they had brought with them to a Swedish prostitute instead. As you do. They burned some of the LPs in a field before throwing the rest overboard from the ferry on the way home. The album was eventually released with large stretches of silence where the samples had been. After getting to number one as The Timelords with Doctor Who theme rip-off Doctorin' the Tardis (fronted by Gary Glitter), they published a book called The Manual (How To Have A Number One The Easy Way) with instructions about how to top the charts. Austrian Eurotrash band Edelweiss followed their advice and sold five million records. When The KLF won best British group at the 1992 Brit Awards, they made their disdain for the music industry clear by performing 3AM Eternal with death metal group Extreme Noise Terror. The appearance ended with Drummond firing blanks from a machine gun into the stunned audience before an announcer said: "The KLF have left the music business." Not satisfied with that, they dumped a dead sheep on the steps of the after-show party with a note reading "I died for you", and deleted their back catalogue. After their resignation from the music industry, they rejected everything that had gone before in the most extreme way in 1994 - taking the £1m they had left in royalties to the island of Jura and burning bundles of £50 notes. That led to howls of protests from those who said it should have gone to a worthy cause. Despite saying they wouldn't talk about it, they actually have. "There's plenty of people who want to give money to charity," Cauty told Irish TV. "We want to do something that we found more interesting with the money."

On 23 August 1994, The KLF - one of Britain's most incendiary bands, in more ways than one - burned £1m on a remote Scottish island.

The Hammersmith and City Line has been suspended between Edgware Road and Hammersmith over fears debris could fall on to the tracks. The Circle Line is also closed partly due to the fire and partly because of planned engineering work. Transport for London (TfL) said the move had been made "at the request of the London Fire Brigade". The fire broke out at the 24-storey block, which contained 120 one and two-bedroom flats, early on Wednesday morning. Police presume 58 people have died but have warned the figure could grow. A sign at Ladbroke Grove station said "owing to the safety of the Tower" the lines had been partly suspended. The London Fire Brigade confirmed it had requested the lines be temporarily closed because of a "short-term risk of some debris falling on to the tracks". A spokesman said teams were working to secure the debris so the lines could be reopened as soon as possible.

Two London Tube lines remained part suspended on Sunday due to safety concerns with Grenfell Tower.

The Tennis Integrity Unit said Lindahl plotted to throw a match at a minor Australian tournament in 2013. Two other Australian players, Brandon Walkin and Isaac Frost, were also disciplined over the incident. It comes days after Australian Open junior champion Oliver Anderson was charged with match-fixing. Last year, a joint BBC/Buzzfeed investigation alleged the TIU failed to act on suspicions that 16 top-50 ranked players have been involved in match-fixing. Lindahl, 28, achieved a career-high ranking of 187 in singles before retiring in 2013. The TIU, which is responsible for policing tennis, said the offence happened at the Australian F6 Tournament in Toowoomba, Queensland. "He was found guilty of charges of contriving or attempting to contrive the outcome of an event, and failing to co-operate with a TIU investigation," it said in a statement. The penalty means Lindahl will not be able to resume his international playing career or attend official tennis events for seven years, the TIU said. He had already been fined A$1,000 by a court in New South Wales last year. Walkin, 22, was handed a six-month suspension for "passing a corrupt proposal to another party" on behalf of Lindahl. But the 1,066-ranked player is free to compete after his penalty was suspended for six months, subject to further breaches. Frost, 28 and ranked 1,515, refused to hand over his mobile phone during the investigation. He will not be further penalised after serving a provisional suspension between October 2013 and September 2014.

Australian former tennis player Nick Lindahl has been banned for seven years and fined $35,000 (£28,000; A$47,700) for match-fixing.

The star slid off the circuit at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey while recording his slot for the opening episode of the latest series. On Twitter he said: "I'm driving for the first time ever today, on a race track, on tv. Wish me luck." Kiefer Sutherland and Will Smith will also appear in the new series. Sheeran managed to drive off the test track a few times and admitted he'd never driven a car ahead of the recording. Johnny Vegas drove round the track in the now retired Suzuki Liana with big L plates on the top of the car in 2003, while Jack Whitehall didn't have a driving licence either and drove an automatic version of the Vauxhall Astra in series 21. Top Gear's track was added to Google Street View last year. The show's test driver, The Stig, was followed by a Google car round the 1.75 mile (2.82km) circuit so it could be mapped. The latest series, the show's 22nd since its relaunch in 2002, is to start with a simultaneous broadcast in more than 50 countries. The programme will be seen in Australia, Africa and the Middle East at the same time as it is shown on BBC Two. A further 10 countries including Malaysia, Taiwan and Mongolia will screen it within 24 hours of its UK debut.

Ed Sheeran, who doesn't have a driving licence, has managed to drive Top Gear's "reasonably priced car" off the show's race track.

Convicted murderer Sweat, 35, was shot twice and captured less than two miles (3km) from the Canadian border. His prison-break partner Richard Matt, 49, was killed by police on Friday. The two murderers escaped three weeks ago from the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora through the sewer system after using power tools to break out of their cell. The spectacular escape set off a massive manhunt. Sweat was shot and seized in the town of Constable on Sunday, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo told a news conference. He said Sweat was shot twice in the torso and was now in hospital in stable condition. The convict was spotted by a police officer on patrol and shot when he tried to run away. "The nightmare is finally over," the governor said. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives wrote on its Twitter page: "#DavidSweat of the #PrisonBreakNY captured. Sleep peacefully New York." The Buffalo News website earlier quoted a source who said that the convict's wound were "life-threatening" and he was bleeding badly. Matt was shot dead near the town of Malone. The pair had been making their way through rugged forests in upstate New York, stealing food and guns from woodland cabins along the way. US officials have charged prison worker Joyce Mitchell with aiding the two inmates in their escape. Prosecutors allege that she gave the men power tools that allowed them to saw through a steel cell wall before bashing a hole through a brick wall and crawling through. Ms Mitchell denies the charges. Clinton correction officer Gene Palmer is also accused of aiding the convicts. Officials allege that he gave Sweat and Matt the frozen hamburger meat Ms Mitchell had used to hide hacksaw blades and a screwdriver. Mr Palmer's attorney said his client had no knowledge that the meat contained the escape tools. Matt was serving a prison sentence of 25 years to life for the killing and dismembering of his former boss. Sweat was serving a life sentence for murdering a sheriff's deputy. Manhunt timeline

Second New York State prison escapee David Sweat is in custody after being shot by police, US officials report.

They have since been released but will be charged with public order offences. Holidaymakers ran and hid from presumed attackers in Platja d'Aro after people pretended to be chasing a celebrity, shouting and taking photographs. The panic turned into a stampede as bystanders mistook selfie sticks for weapons. Eleven people were treated for bruising and heart palpitations. Three were taken to hospital. Police were called to the centre of the town following reports that shots had been fired. The reports turned out to be false. Videos on social media showed children in tears as people around them cowered under tables. The German newspaper Die Welt (in German) said that about 200 people took part in the flashmob, which was organised by several Germans. Apparently those taking part were invited on social media to go down to Platja d'Aro on Tuesday evening and behave like paparazzi. The detained women, aged between 20 and 25, were in the Costa Brava town accompanying a youth group trip. The president of Catalonia tweeted that some things should not be joked about. He also praised the reaction from the town council and police.

Five German women were arrested on Tuesday night when a flashmob stunt in a northern Spanish town sparked fears of a terrorism attack.

LeMond, 52, is the only American winner of the Tour after Armstrong was stripped of his seven titles in 2012 for systematic doping. "If he was clean and everybody else was clean, he's a top-30 [Tour finisher] at best," LeMond told CNN. "He's not capable of winning the Tour, he's not capable of the top five." Armstrong, 42, was also banned for life following a United States Anti-Doping Agency investigation into the doping practices of the United States Postal Service team, a punishment LeMond feels is fair. "There are people who are criminals who just shouldn't be able to participate again in anything," he said. "It's like [jailed financier] Bernie Madoff - should he be allowed to come in and be a part of Wall Street managing money? No, he shouldn't. "And that's [the case] with Armstrong. He shouldn't be allowed to be back in sport."

Three-time winner Greg LeMond believes Lance Armstrong was only capable of a top-30 Tour de France finish "at best" without performance-enhancing drugs.

The mile-long Northern Inner Distributor Road (NIDR) now links the east of the town with the west. It was estimated in January that technical issues involving a bridge increased the cost of the £21m project by a further £10m. The council is in a legal dispute with the contractor Carillion about the extra costs and who should pay. Somerset County Council said the delays had been "enormously frustrating". Cabinet member for highways, John Woodman, said the new road will "unlock" the old cattle market Firepool site for development and ease traffic in the town. He added: "The dispute is ongoing and we will work hard to make the best result for all the people of Somerset and the people of Taunton." Mike Rigby, independent councillor for Bishops Lydeard, said the council had "a lot of questions" to answer about how the project was managed. "How has it been that the council signed a contract that enabled a contractor to take more than twice the amount of time to build what should be a fairly straight-forward job? "It worries me, it's [an] example of how the county council has not well-managed a large contract." Carillion had nothing to add to the council statement.

A multi-million pound road scheme to ease congestion in Taunton has opened more than two years behind schedule.

The caves have been digitally reproduced as part of the city's first Festival of Caves. The tour will take in Mortimer's Hole under Nottingham Castle and King David's Dungeon - caves some people would not be able to access. The city has more than 500 man-made sandstone caves which have been used for dwellings and jail cells. Nottingham City councillor, Dave Trimble, said: "There are plenty of local people who don't know about the hidden world beneath their feet." He said the new virtual reality tour would allow visitors who were unable to descend the steep steps into the caves to experience them. Andrew Whitney of Hot Knife Digital Media, which developed the tour, said: "We've taken very accurate data to digitally reproduce the caves in a gaming environment. "We're excited to bring the caves into the 21st Century using the latest gaming and virtual reality technology, increasing the accessibility of these sites to everyone." A series of caves has been found in the past six years due to funded projects such the Nottingham Caves Survey, which mapped and laser-scanned many of them. The festival runs until 23 October.

Nottingham's network of caves has been turned into a virtual reality tour, to open them up to a wider audience.

Organisers said hundreds of revellers took part in the celebration of the coming of summer. Event co-ordinator Sara Thomas said Beltane was an ancient tradition with a modern twist. The modern Beltane Fire Festival has run since 1988. This year's celebration included drummers, fire dancers, physical theatre, and a bonfire.

Thousands of people gathered on Calton Hill in Edinburgh on Thursday night for the Beltane Fire Festival.

11 August 2015 Last updated at 19:18 BST Safid has travelled 5,000 miles from his home and is currently one of thousands of migrants living in a camp called the Jungle in Calais, France. It's thought more than 600 child migrants arrived in the UK without their parents last month alone. And Safid told Newsround reporter Martin Dougan that he will do whatever it takes to try and get to Britain soon. Find out why child migrants want to come to the UK

An 11-year-old migrant from Afghanistan has been speaking to Newsround about being separated from his father during a year long trip to try and reach the UK.

The woman was taken to hospital after the incident involving a male inmate at Maghaberry Prison, near Lisburn, on Monday. Adrian Smith from the Prison Officers Association (POA) told BBC News NI the woman was one of the newer prison officers. He said he believed she was attacked with a weapon "made from a razor". "She has an approximately three inch deep cut below her left ear," he said. "With the ever increasing budget cuts, I believe this will happen more often," he added. A Prison Service spokesperson said: "The Prison Service utterly condemns this attack and has referred the incident to the PSNI".

A prison officer has suffered a serious neck wound after she was attacked at a jail in County Antrim.

Several species' vision was studied by an international team to identify this ultra-violet (UV) sensitivity. The findings, published in the journal Conservation Biology, claimed habitats and migration could be disrupted. The flashes, or corona, occur when charge builds up in a cable and is released into the air. The international team, including scientists from University College London and the Arctic University of Norway, measured the spectrum of light emitted by these bursts of charge. They worked out that although the light was invisible to us, it contained wavelengths seen by many other mammals. "Most mammals will let some [UV light] into their eye," explained UCL vision expert Prof Glen Jeffery, one of the lead researchers in this project. "We're weird - us and monkeys - because we don't see UV. Most animals do." The first animal to reveal its UV sensitivity was the reindeer. And, as the researchers explained, reindeers' avoidance of the power lines running across the Arctic tundra was part of the inspiration for this project. Dr Nicholas Tyler, the other lead author, said it had been assumed that rather than avoiding the power cables themselves, animals steered clear of passages cut in forested areas before pylons were installed. "Forest animals will not cross clear-cuts," he said. "But for us in the Arctic, avoidance of power lines is difficult to explain - there are no trees, yet the reindeer still avoid the power lines." The animals keep as much as 5km (3 miles) from either side of the cables. "This has been a mystery," Dr Tyler added. "We have now come up with a mechanism [to explain it]." This research required a detailed understanding of animal vision, which was where Prof Jeffery came in. Having discovered in 2011 that reindeer eyes were sensitive to UV light, Prof Jeffery went on to study the eyes of almost 40 mammal species, revealing all were UV-sensitive. Since, as the researchers added, coronas "happen on all power lines everywhere", the avoidance of the flashes could be having a global impact on wildlife. "It has always been assumed that power lines - masts and the cables strung between them - were passive structures standing immobile in the terrain, and therefore inoffensive for animals," said Dr Tyler. "As a result of this work, we now consider them as chains of flashing light stretching across the tundra in the winter darkness, and that's why the animals find them so offensive." The random and unpredictable nature of these flashes were particularly problematic, he added, as the animals could not easily adapt to them. Prof Jeffery said he hoped power companies would now consider ways to address the issue.

Animals around the world could be scared away from power cables because these give off UV flashes invisible to humans, scientists have said.

It should "stand up to government and say we need legal change... to strengthen governance," he said. He added that shareholders also had to take responsibility and act if a company's standards were failing. The FRC said it had requested more powers to tackle bad behaviour. From the end of MG Rover, to the near-collapse of Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS, through to Tesco's accounting scandal and BHS's extinction, failings in corporate leadership have continued to stalk UK businesses. It is 25 years since the Cadbury code was published, which put in place most of the rules governing public company practices and is overseen by the FRC. Sir Adrian Cadbury wrote his report in 1992 following scandals such as the collapse of the bank BCCI and textile company Polly Peck, along with Robert Maxwell's raid on Mirror Group pensioners. It has been the cornerstone of corporate governance ever since. It recommended an independent board, reasonable pay to attract executives and formal processes to appoint directors. "The Financial Reporting Council which controls the Cadbury code, and is a rather timid body, should get stronger," Lord Myners told the BBC's Today programme. It should "stand up to government and say we need legal change in a number of areas to strengthen governance". The code has no punitive means of enforcement and follows a so-called comply or explain model. If a company wishes to shun a particular rule, it can give its reasons for doing so. This arrangement aims to stop companies ducking rules as a matter course and rewards openness. But critics say it treats all rules as optional. "It hasn't been binding enough," Lord Myners said. In a statement to the BBC, the FRC said: "The FRC has called on the government for more powers to tackle all directors when companies fail, not just those we regulate (accountants and actuaries), and we want more scrutiny on directors fulfilling their obligations under the Companies Act. "The Corporate Governance Code's 'comply or explain' approach has allowed the FRC to respond confidently and effectively to evolving market circumstances, which prescriptive hard rules often cannot." Its latest monitoring report on the code shows "high compliance" among companies, but when boards don't follow the rules "too many explanations are of poor quality". "This suggests that some boards still need to do more than pay lip service to the needs of their shareholders and other stakeholders. "The FRC believes more focused reporting by boards on how they discharge their responsibilities is necessary and has called for more oversight powers from government to help achieve this." Another criticism from Lord Myners is the role of shareholders themselves in controlling corporations. "Cadbury did not focus at all on the roles and the duties and obligation of the shareholders and that's where the failing is happening," he said. "Nobody owns enough of a company to really be put out enough to really dig in and find out what's wrong." He termed this the problem of "ownerless corporations." This view echoed that of Chris Philp, MP for Croydon South, who told the Today programme in September that UK companies should adopt a Swedish-style shareholder committee in an effort to curb excessive pay for bosses. The five biggest shareholders in large publicly-traded companies would sit on the committee, Mr Philp suggested, and this would make decisions on pay and hiring directors. His plan follows a call from Prime Minister Theresa May for tighter controls on corporate excess.

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC), which regulates how firms govern themselves, is too "timid" and needs more powers, says former City minister Lord Myners.

A survey of 2,750 11- to 18-year-olds found one in 10 admitted checking their mobile phones for notifications at least 10 times a night. The poll was carried out by Digital Awareness UK and the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. The organisations warn night-time usage of mobiles means pupils are coming to school tired and unable to concentrate. They recommend having a "digital detox" and putting mobile devices away for 90 minutes before lights-out or keeping them out of the bedroom. Of the 45% of survey respondents who check their phones when they should be sleeping, almost all (94%) are on social media - with a tenth saying they would feel stressed about missing out if they did not check their device before going to sleep. Of this group, 75% are listening to music and over half (57%) are watching films. A third (32%) of these youngsters say their parents are not aware that they check their mobile device after going to bed. The findings also show: Charlotte Robertson, DAUK co-founder, said: "One of the biggest topics around at the moment is excessive social media consumption and how it is affecting our physical and emotional wellbeing. "A lot of them [children] are waking up sometimes with over 100 notifications from conversations that have happened overnight. "They want to be that person that is responding at 01:00, and seen to be quite cool, to make sure they catch the joke - it's a huge driver, that anxiety of wanting to know what's happened." HMC chairman Mike Buchanan said: "The data suggests those who do check their phones, they're mostly driven by not wishing to miss out. "Clearly there are some times when children are not concentrating because they are tired, and that has an obvious impact on their ability to keep up with what's going on - there is a desire to stay within the group. "It's not that this [technology] is all horrible and terrible and that we should all be wringing our hands. "It is more a case that here's the reality, let's use it and try to influence the use of technology in a positive way."

Almost half (45%) of young people are checking their mobile phones after they have gone to bed, a poll suggests.

The train was suspended last week after two incidents in which passenger doors opened mid-journey. The refurbished trains are due to run on the Belfast to Dublin route from the end of February. Translink said that the suspension has been lifted after an investigation of the door mechanisms. "We would strongly reassure our passengers and the wider public that there was no imminent danger for our customers travelling on board as a result of these two unrelated door faults," said Ian Campbell, general manager of engineering at Translink. "We have worked closely with the Railway Safety Commission (RSC) and, having satisfied their concerns, the upgraded train will now be returned into service this afternoon (Wednesday 13 January)." Translink has previously described the refurbished trains as a "major milestone" in its £12.2m NI railways upgrade programme.

A newly-refurbished Enterprise train is back in service after having its safety licence in the Republic of Ireland restored.

It was one of 20 left at various locations by Ren Benson, from York, who said she just wanted to give other mothers support. "I am a first-time mum, my little boy is 10 months now, and parenting is really hard," she said. Emma Lowe, who found the supermarket letter, said it was a "lovely gesture" and very welcome. Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire On parenting, Miss Benson said: "It is really challenging and there are times when you do feel like you are just on your own and a little bit falling apart." The first letter was left after she had dropped her shopping in the supermarket and felt she was at the "end of her tether". "I thought 'this is the time when I need some love - there must be another mother who is going to feel this way'," she said. Miss Benson said she was inspired by other mothers' random acts of kindness for each other through the online community - The Motherload. "Such a small gesture and it can make the world of difference at times." Mrs Lowe found the letter as she changed her daughter and said it had made her day. "I ignored it at first, but on the envelope it said 'yeah you'. "I opened it and thought what a lovely, lovely gesture that someone has taken the time to handwrite the note to say 'you know you've got this'. "As a first-time mum it is really challenging at times, but I thought that is so lovely that someone has done that and left it for someone to find."

A handwritten letter of encouragement for new mothers was left in a supermarket baby-changing area.

The American, 32, carded a first round two-under-par 70, leaving him four shots behind leader Francesco Molinari. The US Open champion withdrew on the first tee of the Masters first round, a day after falling on stairs in his rental home and hurting his lower back. "I hit the ball great, no issues," Johnson told reporters . "I just need to get some more rounds in, get some more reps, but I feel like the golf swing is in good shape. "If I hit it like I did on Thursday over the next few days, I will be right there on Sunday." Johnson, who was the only top-10 player in the field in North Carolina, is looking to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2007-08 to secure four consecutive victories on the PGA Tour. He has already triumphed at the Genesis Open,WGC Mexico Championship and WGC Match Play this year. He added: "Since I had not played in so long I am happy with the way I played. I did not score that great, did not hole many putts. I felt like I hit good putts, just nothing was going in. All in all I am very pleased with the day." England's Greg Owen and Paul Casey are the highest-placed Britons on two under par, four shots off the lead. Johnson will aim to defend his US Open title at this year's tournament in Wisconsin, starting on 15 June.

World number one Dustin Johnson "felt good physically" after making his return to competitive action at the Wells Fargo Championship.

The Academy Selsey suffered extensive damage and much of its contents was destroyed in the blaze on 21 August. The school's 453 pupils are currently being taught at four locations in the Selsey area. As well as classrooms, the temporary buildings will house science labs, workshops and food technology areas, the school said. The buildings, some of which have already been placed on the site by two large cranes, had previously been used to house staff and students from Bohunt School in Worthing while building work was carried out. Tom Garfield, head teacher of the academy, said: "We are absolutely delighted to see the first temporary school buildings arrive on site. It's a great milestone for us, the staff and students alike." He said once the remaining structures had arrived over the next few days the school would begin preparing the rooms for teaching.

Temporary classrooms are being set up at a school that was damaged by fire.

But for one group of passengers - those who use wheelchairs - flying often turns into an upsetting and nerve-wracking experience, whatever the time of year. From problems getting on the plane, to difficulties checking in equipment, and even being unable to go to the toilet onboard, there is always something to worry about. But there is one issue that can really ruin a holiday: damage to the wheelchairs which are our mobility lifelines. My wheelchair has been damaged multiple times, including on a recent EasyJet flight to Portugal at the end of July. So I set out to uncover the scale of the problem. I use a powerchair to get around; my cerebral palsy means my arms are too weak to propel a manual wheelchair. The chair is custom-built, heavy and extremely expensive. When I fly, my chair goes in the hold. On two successive trips in 2013, to Dublin and Barcelona, it came off the flight home making a foreboding rattling sound. A few weeks later, it stopped working. The repairs were costly and left me stuck in my university room, entirely reliant on others. If I was going to continue travelling, I needed another plan. I thought I'd solved the problem when I invested in another chair, which is specifically designed for travelling by air. The expensive piece of kit consists of a manual chair and an attachable motor. When flying, the motor can be stored in a suitcase. The idea is that breakable parts are kept safe. And yet, when I came to reassemble my chair after I arrived in Portugal last week, the motor had been bent out of shape. Five of my friends could not reattach it to the manual frame. (EasyJet says it is "very rare" for its ground handling companies to damage wheelchairs. When it does happen, they say, they arrange for repairs and a replacement chair. The airline also points out its customer satisfaction amongst passengers with reduced mobility was 84% in 2016). I spent the whole holiday in Portugal unable to move independently more than a few metres. And it turns out that my experience is far from unique. After flying more than 40,000 miles all over the world this year, Dan Dorszynski's wheelchair was broken on a short flight from Philadelphia to Detroit. "The cargo guys couldn't fit it into the cargo door so they crammed it in and broke the backrest, armrest, and a few other things on my chair," he says. Although his chair was "drive-able", Dorszynski says it couldn't be fixed in time for his next trip. He bought a used version of the same model to take instead. "Upon leaving Sweden on the way to return home, the airline insisted that I check this chair at the ticket counter instead of taking it to the gate because it was too heavy. "I argued a bit... however it was fruitless and I just decided to let them have it so it would not be an issue. "I get to Chicago and after all that, my back-up chair never made it on the first flight. Here I am two days later wondering where that chair is." Michaela Hollywood has also had difficulties when flying. "Pretty much every time I've flown before [her most recent flight] there have been problems," she says. "My chair has been lost for two weeks, only half of it brought back; stuck on the plane, stuck on the ground... my dad once had to actually put it into the hold himself." And Jeff Courtade was left "bedbound" in his house for "nearly a month" after a flight from San Francisco to Washington DC. His highly-customised and pain-relieving chair was bent and rendered immobile. "I am terrified of flying now," he says. 'A cultural problem' In my opinion, the problem has three parts: In the eyes of the industry, it seems, a wheelchair is the same - and as robust - as any other piece of luggage. I have seen my own motor being flung into a trolley of suitcases. Others have found their powerchairs lying on their sides on conveyor belts. Staff often do not know what they are handling - moving specially-positioned backrests and unplugging vital parts of chairs which cannot just be reattached. Chairs get lifted and pushed in ways that damage them. My powerchair's brakes were destroyed when staff pushed it without following instructions to set it to its manual settings. All wheelchairs are different, but some basic training in how they usually work would go a long way. Once a wheelchair is damaged, it is difficult and expensive to get it fixed. Transporting a broken powerchair involves specific vehicles and a lot of strength (they regularly weigh over 100kg). Spare parts, particularly for customised chairs, can take weeks to arrive and cost hundreds of pounds. A new chair could cost thousands. Being awarded compensation for these costs is also an uphill struggle. "The issue is cultural rather than operational," says Roberto Castiglioni, who set up the organisation Reduced Mobility Rights after experiencing the challenges of travelling with his disabled son. He now helps others to make successful compensation claims for damage or mistreatment. Thanks to the division of responsibilities between airports and airlines, there is "endless (and useless) finger-pointing when something goes horribly wrong," he says. As for me, I eventually made it home from Portugal to the comfort and ease of my powerchair. I'll be setting off on my holidays again next year - perturbed but thankfully not deterred. But many will find themselves unwilling to entrust their most important belongings to an industry which - all too often - seems not to recognise their value.

The stress of air travel has increased this summer, with long queues reported across Europe because of tighter security and immigration checks.

Yet today we expect new inventions to be born in anonymous laboratories after the submission of several grant proposals. But the age of the home-grown inventor may not be over. David Williams and John Dingley are consultant anaesthetists at Morriston Hospital in Swansea. Their moment of genius came in their garages while tinkering with glue-guns and car-body filler. Inspired by Trevor Baylis's wind-up radio, they wondered "almost jokingly" whether it might be possible to make something similarly economical and easy-to-use in the medical world. And having worked in remote settings, Dr Williams was aware of how crucial equipment that does not require a constant power source could be. In Zambia he had noticed entire operating theatres remaining unused because of a lack of replacement light bulbs or a reliable mains power supply. So the doctors set themselves the challenge of inventing essential kit for the doctor's bag on a budget. And after a week spent attacking conventional medical equipment with power tools, they had the first prototype of a device which has the potential to save lives. The ShakerScope is a light source which can be quickly adapted to look in people's eyes, ears and throats. But unlike regular devices it does not need batteries. Dr Patrick Finlay, of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers said: "According to the World Health Organisation, 95% of medical devices fail to work in developing countries. Often designers in the West don't understand the conditions elsewhere. "This type of invention is very important. With these scopes you would normally need three different instruments for each examination, each one requiring batteries. For low income countries this is a joke. " At the core of the ShakerScope is a powerful moveable magnet, surrounded by a coil of wire. As noted by Michael Faraday in 1831, as the magnet moves over the wire the magnetic field induces an electric current in the coil. And shaking the ShakerScope for 30 seconds produces enough current to light the device for three minutes. "That might not sound like long but it is more than enough time for most ear or eye examinations or to insert tracheal tubes," Dr Williams said. Once the scope is shaken the charge can be stored for many weeks. And instead of using a conventional light bulb, it uses a light emitting diode which can last up to 10,000 hours. ColaLife Donkey Ambulance CentriCycle ColaLife Air bed invention is 'donkey ambulance' CentriCycle The team has designed changeable heads allowing it be converted into a number of devices. One of its most promising uses so far has been as a laryngoscope - an instrument which lights-up the back of the mouth allowing anaesthetists to insert breathing tubes when people are unable to breathe for themselves. It has already been tested in military hospitals in Afghanistan, in Uganda and after the earthquake in Haiti in 2010. "In Haiti we saw a lady with a neck injury who urgently needed a tracheal tube to help stabilise her. There were no other functioning laryngoscopes close by and the ShakerScope worked well despite the difficult case," said Dr Williams. According to Dr Williams the project has been a series of steep learning curves. "Having the good idea is the easy part. Making it into a reality required an almost obsessive degree of dedication," he said. In the early days the doctors tried to do as much as possible from home - from teaching themselves microelectronics to perfecting their computer-aided design skills. Luckily for Dr Williams, his wife is a sculptor who works on large pieces of metal. He has been known to borrow her workshop, saws and glue-gun on many occasions. But he says he learned very early on that the kitchen may not be the best place to melt plastics. Dr Jerry Nolan, a consultant anaesthetist at Bath Royal United NHS Trust, who was not involved in the research said: "The ShakerScope has the potential to be invaluable in remote locations. "That they have taught themselves the skills to get a final version near to market is even more remarkable and surely disproves the adage doctors make poor businessmen." The device is one of many frugal, home-grown devices recently showcased at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in the UK. Having made several fully-functioning versions tested across the world, the doctors say they recently reached the limit of their technical abilities, and passed on further manufacturing and design to a larger company. But these anaesthetists have returned to their sheds and have many other possible irons in the fire.

Don't insult the object of your desire with promises you both know you can't keep. If you lack the cash for that magnificent bunch of fragrant roses, resist the temptation to brandish a fraying fake bouquet instead. There has to be a better alternative, and you're unlikely to get a positive response. And as for trying to bully or force someone into partnership with you - a little tip: it's unlikely to go down well. In this respect, the EU makes a lousy suitor. After reeling in panic and reacting in slow motion to the - to an extent predicted - dramatic surge this year in refugees and other migrants arriving, the EU is now trying a more comprehensive, strategic approach. It includes an attempt to persuade (woo/push) the migrants' countries of origin, or the transit countries, to: Migration to Europe explained in graphics The EU also plans to send cash and other aid "over there", in the hope of dissuading more refugees and others from wanting to reach Europe, risking their lives. A rather similar formula worked for Spain several years ago when it was the main EU arrival point for people smugglers' boats. Bilateral deals with Morocco and Mauritania significantly reduced the arrival of "pateras", as Spaniards nicknamed those boats. But Spain came under fire from aid organisations (NGOs) at the time for trying to make African countries the "gatekeepers of Europe". The NGOs also raised concerns about possible human rights abuses against would-be migrants blocked at the border. They complained that the bilateral agreements, sorely lacking in transparency, smacked more of backroom deals. Similar concerns are now being directed at the EU as a whole. This week, the EU hosted a summit in Malta with African nations, in the hope of coming to an "understanding" on slowing the flow of migrants to Europe. But, in addition to NGO concerns (such as the risk of groups linked to human rights abuses, like the Eritrean security forces, siphoning off money allocated to stop migrants), African leaders widely dismissed EU offers of cash and other aid, as far too little to tackle the root causes of migration. As flowers go, the extra aid package doesn't even make the gaudy plastic category. The EU offered €3.6bn ($3.9bn; £2.5bn) to improve life in a number of African countries. This in addition to the €20bn it already gives in aid to Africa. Somalia's distinctly unimpressed Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke put it to the BBC that Africa needed investment, not charity, to improve its economies. The same as the US, the EU or anywhere else in the world, he said. In fact, EU countries couldn't even muster the pledged extra cash. It's a promise they seem unable or unwilling to keep. The European Commission says it will put in €1.8bn and wants the rest of the new fund made up by individual European nations. So far they've coughed up less than €80m. The EU was also unable to persuade/charm - some say bully - African countries into automatically receiving deported migrants back. Instead, in the written summit conclusions, the EU was forced to emphasise "voluntary repatriations". That prompted obvious questions about the bloc's declared aim of "speeding up the return" of economic migrants and other failed asylum seekers - a key part of its plan to tackle the migrant crisis. In short: the summit was not a resounding success. And a number of European newspapers were critical of the EU even trying to make a deal. Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung says the EU's offer of money to reduce the refugee numbers from Africa could open the EU to accusations of "showing its real values by co-operating with unjust regimes". Similar objections are raised when it comes to EU attempts to strike a deal with Turkey - now the main departure point for refugees and other migrants crossing to Europe. EU leaders are planning a Turkey summit before the end of the year, but - as German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pointed out - "Ankara holds the cards". And diplomats worry that Ankara will demand an extravagant bouquet in terms of money and political concessions - such as lifting visa restrictions, and accelerating Turkey's EU membership bid - in exchange for help on migration. And again, critics challenge the EU for courting Turkey at all - a country with an imperious president and dismal human rights record. There are also those who say the EU's focus is far too fixed on creating "Fortress Europe", on keeping people out and not on introducing legal ways for them to come to over. Because come they will. The European Commission expects about three million refugees and other migrants to arrive in Europe by 2017. Clearly, whatever the EU does during this crisis, it will come under fire from some quarter or another. All too often, it comes up against itself - a behemoth of 28 nations, struggling to work together. Even the quota system - accepted (reluctantly) by most EU countries - to share out more equally the asylum seekers in Europe is an unmitigated flop so far. Agreed number of people to be relocated: 160,000. People moved to date: 147. Cross-border co-operation is disintegrating as barbed wire goes up and borders slam shut across Europe: in Slovenia, Hungary, Austria, Sweden, Norway… Even Germany is toughening border regulations. In stark contrast to the warm welcome given to hundreds or thousands earlier this autumn, Wolfgang Schaeuble, Germany's hugely popular finance minister, has begun to mutter darkly about a migrant "avalanche" engulfing his country. There's little evidence of the EU - more of each country for itself. That prompted the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, to warn that Schengen, the EU agreement allowing passport-free travel across much of Europe, risks collapse. Yet it is one of the EU's proudest achievements. You could argue Schengen has already wilted and died.

Surely some of the first rules of wooing are: if you're going to do it, do it properly.

Twenty-four buildings at Stow Maries Aerodrome, near Maldon, have been Grade II star-listed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The airfield site, which was used as a base for the 37th Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, is one of the few remaining of its kind in the country. It was listed for its "rarity" and "historical importance", Heritage Minister John Penrose said. The aerodrome was created in 1914 by the forerunner to the Royal Air Force. It was one of several in the south east of England used to defend London from German Zeppelin airship and bomber raids during the conflict. It ceased being used by the military in 1919 and was returned to agricultural use. Its buildings remained and, according to English Heritage, is now "the largest known surviving group of Royal Flying Corps buildings on a WWI aerodrome". In recent years the aerodrome was bought by private owners, who have had the buildings restored, and created a museum to tell its role during the war. In 2010, a war memorial commemorating the 10 pilots of 37 Squadron killed in action during WWI was erected on the former parade ground. Among the 24 surviving buildings are the officers' mess, accommodation huts, ammunition store, workshops, blacksmiths and mortuary. On granting the listed status, Mr Penrose said the aerodrome was a "poignant reminder of the conditions in which they were working". "I am listing Stow Maries for its rarity, its architectural interest, its value as a group and also of course for its historical importance as the first line of defence against German air raids," he said. English Heritage chief executive Simon Thurley said: "The importance of Stow Maries is amplified by the approaching 100th anniversary of the Great War. "It's in a remarkable state of preservation, full of historic interest and of great educational potential."

A World War I airbase in Essex has been granted listed status.

Deng Zhengjia, in his 50s, died on Wednesday in Chenzhou City, Hunan. He was hit with a weight from a set of scales after a row erupted with chengguan officials, Xinhua news agency said, citing Mr Deng's niece. Chengguan are unpopular with the Chinese public after a series of high-profile violent incidents. The chengguan, or Urban Management Law Enforcement force, support the police in tackling low-level crime in cities. But the force's ''thuggish'' behaviour had led to public anger and undermined stability, a report by Human Rights Watch said last year. "They are now synonymous for many Chinese citizens with physical violence, illegal detention and theft," said Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), when the report was released in May 2012. The row in Linwu county, Chenzhou, erupted after Mr Deng and his wife "tried to sell home-grown watermelons at a riverside scenic spot, where urban management workers said no vendors were allowed", Xinhua reported. Police and a disciplinary watchdog were investigating, the report said, without giving more details. In a statement, the Linwu county government said patrollers found that Mr Deng and his wife Huang Xixi had "set up a watermelon stall in violation of the rules". An "altercation" arose after the law enforcers asked them to leave, and "the enforcers temporarily confiscated four of the watermelons, requesting that the couple sell their melons in an authorised location instead". The couple began "insulting" the officers when they encountered them again 50 minutes later, the statement said. "The enforcers tried to reason with the couple, the dispute between the two sides became a physical conflict, and in the process Deng Zhengjia suddenly collapsed and died," the statement said. "Both city and county level party committees and governments take the incident seriously, and have ordered the relevant departments to investigate the incident and handle the incident in accordance with the law," the statement added. Chinese newspaper Guangzhou Daily said: "It is still too early to assert that the chengguan beat the watermelon farmer to death." "But the watermelon farmer did, after all, die during a dispute with chengguan. Even if his stall location did not meet the chengguan's requirements, there was no reason to resort to force against a 50-year old elderly man." In July 2011, the death of a disabled street vendor who was reportedly beaten by local law enforcers sparked a riot in Guizhou province. Some Linwu residents turned out on Wednesday protesting against the chengguan. The fruit-seller's death has also sparked outrage on China's microblogs, with a search for "Linwu hawker" on Sina Weibo returning over 300,000 results. Many users expressed anger at the enforcers. User I Am Tian Dalin wrote: "I'm furious! No one has the right to trample on the lives of others. Who gave the chengguan the right to treat human life as a trifle? Is our taxpayers money supporting public servants, or a pack of wolves?" User Wen Linhui is a Woman wrote: "No matter what the result of the autopsy is... perhaps the deceased had a pre-existing condition... but it was the chengguan who hit him with scales. First of all, this was already a violation of the law and extremely bad conduct, and furthermore not saving him in time was also a very bad action, the chengguan are a direct cause of the man's death." She added: "These days a lot of chengguan don't treat farmers and hawkers as humans. In fact, I personally think that hawkers are an eyesore on the city... the issue needs to be resolved, but it needs to take human feelings into account." Many Sina Weibo users also expressed scepticism at the local government's investigation, suggesting that incident would be blamed on "temporary workers" in the chengguan. "It always follows this routine: first, the leadership expresses serious concern, and orders an investigation, then after the aftermath is handled and the family are emotionally stable, the investigation will find that it was 'temporary workers' who were responsible," wrote user Night Wind Big Brother.

Police are investigating the death of a fruit seller in China, state media say, amid reports he was beaten by "chengguan" urban security personnel.

Eight year-old Phoebe Hanson wrote to BBC Radio 4's PM saying she worried how the "bongs" would be replaced while Big Ben is being repaired next year. PM's editor, Roger Sawyer, told Phoebe: "It would be quite a task." A Facebook post by Phoebe's father, Jon Hanson, about the exchange has been liked and shared thousands of times. The "Big Ben" bell, after which the Palace of Westminster's Elizabeth Tower is more commonly known, is expected to fall silent early next year for the first time since 2007 for a three-year renovation project. The work will cost £29m and involve repairs to the clock's hands, mechanism and pendulum. Replying to Phoebe's letter on 12 December, Sawyer said he was "very much taken with your idea", but there could be some operational obstacles because "the bongs are live". He explained: "You'd have to rush in after school each day (and at the weekend), rush home for tea, homework, a bit of chillin', then a quick sleep. "And then - here's the hard bit - you'd have to rush in again at midnight, because there are live bongs again before the midnight news. "That's an awful lot of work for someone who is still quite young. I wouldn't like to do all that." Speaking to BBC News, Mr Hanson said: "She was listening to Radio 4 in the car and Eddie Mair was saying that Big Ben would stop chiming next year, and she said, 'Oh no, we have to do something about it. I want to write a letter.' "She was absolutely stunned to get a reply, and was so pleased she took it to school and showed everyone. "She takes things very literally as she is on the autism spectrum, so I think she still wants to do the bongs. "I'm very proud of her. I work in IT and we try to increase our internet presence, but then she has stepped in and done it in one fell swoop." Writing on his Facebook page, Mr Hanson called Sawyer's response "priceless". "She thinks I should drive her up to Broadcasting House and back twice a day," he told others who had commented on his page. Sawyer said that although he was surprised to receive the letter, he was aware that the bongs at the end of the programme "seem to chime with the younger audience especially - no pun intended". He said Phoebe's hand-written letter - accompanied by a covering letter - suggested she could hum the Westminster chimes before playing her own instrument for the bongs, and that she could record everything on her own microphone brought with her to the studio. "What I say to people who ask what the job [of working on PM] entails is that it requires a lot of determination and tenacity, but also what is vital is imagination and free thinking," he said. "She has a great future because she has that ability to problem-solve in a free thinking way. Those are the kinds of skills that the BBC needs."

A girl who offered to replace Big Ben's chimes on BBC radio has been let down gently after an editor warned her of the long hours that would be involved.

John Swinney said the tool would help "all of our children to succeed". The resource details examples from around Scotland which have improved the wellbeing and learning of children in the classroom. Approaches include parent questionnaires, a family breakfast club and a walk-to-school programme. Mr Swinney said: The information now available gives teachers and school leaders access to effective interventions based on practice examples from around Scotland. "This suite of materials will be developed further in the coming weeks and months to include successful approaches based on the best available international evidence as we work with the Education Endowment Foundation to develop a Scottish specific version of their highly-regarded Teaching and Learning toolkit." The online resource will be added to in the coming weeks. Bill Maxwell, chief executive of Education Scotland, hoped the tool would help schools make decisions about closing the attainment gap between their "most and least disadvantaged children". He added: "The interventions highlighted in this resource represent the wide range of different approaches which have been developed in Scotland, and which have proved to be effective. "Education Scotland has a key role in ensuring that schools have easy access to evidence about 'what works' as they plan to address the priorities of the Scottish Attainment Challenge and the National Improvement Framework."

An online education resource showcasing the best way to increase attainment in Scotland's schools has been launched by the country's education secretary.

Media playback is not supported on this device Platini wants to restore the image of world football's governing body in the wake of serious corruption allegations. "We want a reform candidate," said FA chairman Greg Dyke. "We believe he will reform Fifa in the way that reform is needed." Sepp Blatter has already announced he will quit as Fifa president, with an election set for 26 February. Frenchman Platini, president of European football governing body Uefa, is likely to face a number of challengers, among them Prince Ali Bin al-Hussein of Jordan and Liberian FA president Musa Bility. Dyke added: "We understand there will be a number of candidates, which should result in a strong and healthy debate. "However, we should not underestimate how challenging it will be for anyone to lead an organisation that has been so tainted. The whole structure of Fifa must be reviewed and fundamentally changed." Platini has found himself at odds with the FA over Qatar's successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup. The 60-year-old championed the Gulf nation despite concerns over its human rights record and severe summer temperatures. But Dyke attempted to play down any differences for the time being, saying: "Mr Platini has always made it very clear that he voted for Qatar. "If all the other people who voted for Qatar had been quite as transparent it would have been more helpful." Not everyone shares the FA's confidence in Platini, a former France international who won the coveted Ballon d'Or three times. Just hours after confirming his candidacy on Wednesday, he was criticised by two potential presidential rivals. Prince Ali and Bility both claim Platini would be a bad choice as a successor. Prince Ali, who stood against Blatter in the last presidential election, said that "football's fans and players deserve better". A member of the Jordanian royal family, he added that Fifa needed a "new, independent leadership, untainted by the practices of the past". Bility agreed, telling the BBC's World Football programme that Platini would bring "chaos", "more division" and "more problems".

The English Football Association has given its backing to Michel Platini's bid to become the next boss of Fifa.

The school's headmaster said the "growing expense and luxury" forced on parents was also a major concern. Beaulieu Convent School in Jersey also referred to "worries about alcohol and drug consumption" at the end of Year 11 event for pupils aged 15-16. A former pupil said the prom was an important milestone and accused the school of overreacting. Chris Beirne, headmaster, said the "significant focus and distraction" caused by the prom "does not fit into the ethos of our school". Writing to parents Mr Beirne cited a letter from an unnamed colleague who was convinced the preparations and the event were "not positive, constructive or healthy experiences". The colleague wrote: "The financial strain and the inevitable competition associated with this is another very unwelcome, and sometimes crushing, aspect for many parents." The letter from the colleague also referred to "alcohol and drug consumption at after-parties" as "a considerable concern". It said the strain of trying "to be slim, fashionable, have perfect skin" led to "unacceptable pressure". Mr Beirne said he could no longer "safely manage the risk" associated with the event. The independent Catholic school said it would continue to offer Year 13 leavers a celebratory mass with their families followed by a drinks reception at the school. The £5,400-a-year convent has around 760 students aged 4-18. Former pupil Hannah Hosegood, 20, said her prom was "a first taste of maturity" and the school should tackle individual pupils if they had concerns about drugs or alcohol. She said: "It's really upsetting knowing those girls won't be able to experience an event you spend a fair amount of time looking forward to and remember for the rest of your life."

A girls' school has scrapped its end of year prom claiming it is too much of a "distraction" to pupils.

The 28-year-old was an ever-present in the side which won the County Championship title in 2016. "He is one of the finest cricketers in the country," managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said. "As a glove-man there are few better than him and he is capable of producing match-changing innings with the bat." Since making his debut for Middlesex in June 2009, Simpson has made almost 250 appearances in all formats. The left-hander has scored 6,687 runs for the club and has 472 dismissals to his name.

Middlesex wicketkeeper-batsman John Simpson has extended his contract, keeping him at Lord's until the end of the 2019 season.

Lewis-Francis took up the sport four months ago with the aim of competing at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. He won 4x100m relay gold at the 2004 Summer Games. GB performance director Gary Anderson said it was a "tough call" to leave the 33-year-old out. Instead, Britain have gone for a mixture of youth and experience in their squad. Lamin Deen, fifth in the World Championships in Winterberg last time out, pilots GB1 in the four-man alongside John Baines, Joel Fearon and Andy Matthews. Double Olympian John Jackson pilots GB2 with Bruce Tasker, Ben Simons and new recruit Tremayne Gilling. Winter Youth Olympics silver medallist Mica McNeil leads the British challenge in the women's competition alongside Natalie DeRatt. The World Championships take place on 12-21 February.

A southbound Volkswagen Crafter Van collided with a Peugeot Partner Van on the A702, just north of Candymill Road, near Biggar, at 17:35 on Thursday. A 58-year-old male passenger in the Peugeot is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. The 32-year-old driver was uninjured as was the 26-year-old male driver of the Volkswagen van. Police said both vehicles suffered extensive damage in the collision and the road was closed for several hours while officers investigated the scene.

Police have appealed for witnesses to a crash between two vans which closed a Lanarkshire road for several hours.

James Alabi netted for the Blues early on after taking Elliott Durrell's cross with a deft touch before turning and rifling home. John Askey's men equalised against the run of play when right-back Andy Halls made a forward run and played a neat one-two before placing past Chester goalkeeper Alex Lynch. Jack Mackreth's superb cross then allowed Anthony Dudley to put Macc ahead with a firm header. Alabi hit the post in the second half, but Kane Richards did eventually stab Chester level from another Durrell ball in. Norburn, however, took on Rhys Browne's ball and struck in low from outside the area with five minutes remaining. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

I think I've only ever had one or two hugs from Ivan - once after I lost my first Wimbledon final against Roger Federer, and maybe also when I won the US Open final. I don't think there was any hugging when I won Wimbledon. So it was with a straight handshake that we greeted each other at Queen's Club on Tuesday morning - the first time we'd seen each other since the US Open last September. Media playback is not supported on this device We'd chatted occasionally over the past couple of years and I'd spoken to him a few times at the end of last year. I was just staying in contact, seeing what he was up to, and I knew he'd done some trials with other players so was interested to know if he was considering getting back on the tour. We know each other very well and it was good to have him back on Tuesday, it didn't feel strange at all. Getting a win over someone as good on grass as Nicolas Mahut was certainly a great start. Ivan is very clear and has strong opinions on things. That's important, I like that. I'd rather someone was very strong with what they're saying and, if I disagree, that's not a problem for him. He doesn't take it to heart. It's a bit easier to communicate when you don't feel like you're going to upset someone. I also enjoy his company and his sense of humour. He'll chat about pretty much anything. He's into his sports and has lots of good stories from when he was on tour. It was a bit different back then with Johnny Mac [McEnroe] and Jimmy Connors around. There weren't microphones and cameras everywhere. I'd say it was little bit more interesting in some ways. Obviously there are rivalries on the tour now but, from the stories that I've heard, I'd say the players today are a lot more friendly with each other off the court. It's important that Ivan and my other coach, Jamie Delgado, spend time together over the next few days. Ivan has arrived with his own clear ideas on what he thinks I need to be doing but one of his great strengths is he's a very good team player. It's crucial that he and Jamie see eye to eye. Ultimately I spend 40 weeks of the year with Jamie, and he also needs to believe and buy into the stuff that I'm working on as well. Jamie knows me well too, he's spent pretty much every day with me for the last three or four months, and that can help Ivan. So the two of them will chat about the things we need to concentrate on, especially this week on the grass. I'll be told before practice that this is what we're doing, I'll give a bit of feedback about what I might want to focus on, and we'll start work. I'm the number two player in the world by a decent distance in terms of ranking points, so I'm not playing badly, but the goals remain the same as ever. There are still things I feel I can improve upon, which I need to do if I want to get to number one in the world and try and win majors. I believe that Ivan, along with the other guys I'm working with, can help me achieve that. I think my team is very strong right now. I've been getting better over the past few months, I've improved some things, and hopefully I can get a few percent better over the next few months. Winning a fifth title at Queen's Club this week would be the perfect start. Media playback is not supported on this device Andy Murray was talking to BBC Sport's Piers Newbery.

Ivan Lendl is definitely more of a handshake than a hug kind of guy.

The limb was found in a garden in Cranwells Park on Wednesday and has been sent for forensic analysis, Avon and Somerset Police said. A force spokesman said detectives were "keeping an open mind" as to whether it was linked to two similar incidents in the city. All three feet have been found within a few hundred yards of each other. Tests showed the first foot found in Weston Park East in February was "probably" a medical teaching aid. The second foot, found last month in the same area, is still undergoing tests. "The same officers are looking into the latest discoveries and will look to confirm beyond all reasonable doubt that they are linked and if there are any new lines of inquiry which can be taken forward," the spokesman added.

A third human foot has been found close to where two others were discovered earlier this year.

RTL claims Baysilone, normally associated with the oil or rubber industries, was found in a breakdown of the implant, made by Poly Implant Prothese (PIP). A lawyer acting for PIP strongly denied the report, telling RTL that the product was not industrial but a food product used in lipstick. The company was shut down in 2010. RTL had the implant examined by a chemistry and toxicology researcher who alleged that the materials used, which also included Silopren and Rhodorsil, had caused the high rupture rate from the silicone gel implants. Although the French health safety agency was already aware the defective implants contained industrial rather than medical grade silicone, no mention has been made of additives from the petrol industry. PIP breast implants: Your stories The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons said earlier that the silicone was believed to have been made for mattresses but a lawyer acting for French implant-wearers said the composition of the implant varied. French authorities have advised 30,000 women in France to have the PIP implants removed as a precaution because of an estimated 5% rupture rate. The French health safety agency says it has registered 1,143 ruptures and 495 inflammatory reactions from the implants. An estimated 300-400,000 women were given the implants, mainly in Latin America and elsewhere in Europe. In the UK, 40,000 women have been advised by the government not to have them removed although ministers have ordered a review of data used to assess the risk of the implant leaking. A surgeon advising the British government, Tim Goodacre, told the BBC on Monday that the failure rate was "quite out of the ordinary" and he said they should be removed on "a staged basis". No link has been made between ruptured implants and cancer. PIP's lawyer, Yves Haddad, has insisted the fuel additive allegations are completely unfounded. "This isn't an industrial product but a food product of the same type that goes, for example, into the making of lipstick," he told RTL. He also promised that PIP's founder Jean-Claude Mas would emerge later this week to give an explanation. Mr Mas, 72, is believed to be in southern France.

A fuel additive untested in clinical trials was used in breast implants that have since been banned, French radio station RTL reports.

Rescuers managed to return three other beached whales to the sea. Fire crews sprayed the whales with seawater as local teams tried to return them to the sea. Expert Jacky Karpouzopoulos, of the Centre for Marine Mammal Research at La Rochelle, said the beaching may have followed the death of a dominant male in the pod. He told La Voix du Nord newspaper that the whales could have been one family of which the dominant male died at sea and the others followed his body to the shore. "The group was in the middle of a deep-sea migration towards the Faroe Islands to reproduce and feed," he said. Mr Karpouzopoulos described the beaching of so many whales as "exceptional". About 400 local residents went to the beach to try to help the rescue operation, La Voix du Nord reported. It said that two of the rescued whales stayed close to the shore, as if waiting for the others to be returned. The largest of the dead whales was a male more than 5m (16ft) long. Autopsies will be carried out at the University of Liege to determine the cause of death.

Seven pilot whales have died after being found stranded on a beach at the northern French port of Calais.

That phrase hinted both at an ideal flexible arrangement in the future and an ideal shared approach from both the UK and Irish governments, together stressing to the EU the paramount importance of doing nothing that might constitute any kind of risk to the political progress made over recent decades. But is that seamless approach unravelling and could Brexit become a source of greater friction between the two governments? Both the Brexit Secretary David Davis and DUP leader Arlene Foster have been fond of talking about technology as the answer to Ireland's post-Brexit problems. Yes, they acknowledge, putting old-style customs checkpoints right on the border would be unacceptable for both political and security reasons. However, they then go on to suggest that provided businesses co-operate with computerised trusted trader schemes, and cameras with number plate recognition capability are installed some distance away from the frontier, all will be well. By contrast, the Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney has now warned that technology isn't the answer. Instead, he argues there is a need for a wider political agreement. What does that mean? On the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme, Fine Gael Senator Neale Richmond hinted that the Irish favour moving customs controls to seaports and airports, rather than anywhere near the land border. This might sound geographically sensible, but the political implications should not be underestimated. Arlene Foster has previously said that putting a border down the middle of the Irish Sea, creating a divide between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, is something her party will not tolerate. So long as the DUP-Conservative parliamentary arrangement survives, that is a concern David Davis and Theresa May will have to take very seriously. But, if the DUP has the ear of the British government, then similarly as a loyal EU member state, Dublin has the ear of Michel Barnier's negotiating team. Since becoming foreign minister, Simon Coveney has not been shy about making his differences with the UK clear. He voiced his concern for Northern Ireland having special EU status, which contrasted with the position of his predecessor Charlie Flanagan. Some surmised this might only have been a slip of the tongue. However Mr Coveney's decision to let it be known he favoured a bespoke Irish Language Act (Sinn Féin, the SDLP and Alliance's preference) over a hybrid bill (the DUP's suggestion) was a clear move to distance Dublin from the Northern Ireland Office's studied neutrality on the issue. If the border after Brexit becomes a more open source of arm wrestling between the two governments, that could have consequences - not just for the continuing UK/EU negotiations, but also for the Stormont talks when they resume in earnest in the autumn.

For months, it's been the joint mantra from both Dublin and London - that after Brexit, the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland should be as "seamless and frictionless as possible".

Commentators on the internet have been quick to make fun of Mr Boehner over the years, but his willingness to show emotion has also endeared him to many. His latest crying bout came on Thursday as he watched Pope Francis address Congress and a crowd of thousands just outside of his office. With his face scrunched, his wet green-blue eyes glistening and matching his tie, he did not disappoint. Boehner, dubbed the "Weeper of the House," responded to jokes about his emotions with this tweet. Other notable times he cried include when he became House Speaker, during Congressional Gold Medal ceremonies, at the unveiling of statues and even during an interview with the Golf Channel. Here is how Twitter reacted to its favourite wailer unexpectedly announcing he will resign from Congress at the end of October:

With John Boehner's resignation, Twitter is losing one of its favourite public figures, a politician famous for his tears and his perma-tanned complexion.

To secure more rights for people with disabilities, she makes frequent visits to courtrooms where the world of beauty contests is but a dream. But the first Miss Wheelchair India contest in Mumbai in late November changed much of that. She found herself amid the humdrum of the green room, glitter of the stage and the usual chatter one associates with a beauty pageant. But there were some marked differences - the stage was much smaller than the ones set up for Miss India pageant and the contestants were treated as winners even before the event started. Ms Kewlani's reply is an emphatic "no" when asked if the smaller stage and venue dimmed the importance of India's first Miss Wheelchair contest. "Nobody really cared about how many people attended the event or how big the stage was. It was a night to celebrate the courage and fighting spirit of the contestants. We all won that night." She says that her "rich and challenging" life has taken another positive turn after winning the contest. "Polio made me wheelchair-bound early on in life but I never saw it as a disability and worked hard to be trained as a media professional like other normal people in the country. "And winning the pageant is just another way of showing that disability cannot stop you from feeling and looking beautiful," the 41-year-old says. Divya Arora feels her first runner-up crown has strengthened her belief that "beauty is boundless". Ms Arora, who earlier worked for a leading newspaper, says her faith that "disability can never overshadow her beauty and abilities" helped her do well in the pageant. The contest is the idea of tax consultant Sounak Banerjee whose life changed in 2006 when muscular dystrophy forced him to use a wheelchair to get around in the bustling city of Mumbai. Mr Banerjee liked watching Bollywood films and TV shows but often found the absence of people with disabilities in the entertainment industry "disturbing". "Disabled people are also consumers of the entertainment industry but they are seldom represented," he says. He then came up with the idea of the Miss Wheelchair India contest to fill the gap and provide a platform they could call their own. Planning the event was tough due to a lack of funding and human resources, he says but adds that the struggles were forgotten when the final day approached. "I felt satisfied and happy when I saw these women wearing their best costumes and a winning smile. It all came together nicely in the end - I had done something for these courageous contestants," he says. "I found the contest very unique because it honoured beauty irrespective of contestants' physical disabilities," says scientist Gopika Anand, 31, who won the second runner-up crown. Ms Anand met with a road accident while studying engineering and was soon confined to a wheelchair. But she persevered, completed her course and found work as a scientist at a leading consumer manufacturing firm. Shelly Bhutani, another contestant, hopes that the corporate world will take notice of the event in the future. "I feel we too deserve to be in front of the camera and get brand endorsements like Miss India winners," she says. Ms Arora, however, felt the organisers were not well prepared for the event and did not provide the kind of support she had hoped for. Mr Banerjee accepts that a lack of sponsorship made the job of organising the event tough. "I agree that there were problems at the event. We will work harder and hope that more people will support the event next year," he says. But other contestants want to see change at a more basic level. India is not known to be a disabled-friendly country as most public places, monuments and buildings do not have facilities catering to their specific needs. Bhavna Sharma, who won the contest in a category that honoured people who are disabled but not necessarily confined to a wheelchair, says citizens with disabilities do not feel inferior and have achieved success in almost every field. "But it's the country's poor infrastructure for disabled people that lets us down," the 27-year-old says. Some years ago Neenu Kewlani travelled all over India in a chauffer-driven car to highlight the problems faced by those with physical challenges while commuting. She says the problem is even more severe in rural areas and smaller towns where people with disabilities are virtually confined to their homes. Nearly every contestant expressed concern over a lack of sensitivity about disability rights. But not one of them is willing to give up hope. Ms Kewlani says there is a long way to go in making India a disabled-friendly country but "we are not ready to give up as we are fighters". "Facilities are improving in cities but we will continue to put pressure on governments to ensure they provide better opportunities and infrastructure for the disabled," she adds. Calcutta-based Sarmistha Sinha says disability rights activists will have to continue fighting like other marginalised sections of the society. An accident in 2006 confined the 41-year-old doctor to a wheelchair, but she says her "thoughts and ability to stay positive remained free". Ms Sinha won in a category which honoured married women in a wheelchair. But winning was not everything for her as she wanted to use the platform to showcase her talent. The wheelchair dancer saw the contest as an opportunity to present her skills and meet people like herself from all over the country. "I only wanted to dance as such opportunities are rare but the feeling that I have won a beauty pageant is slowly sinking in," she adds. For Gopika Anand the real winning moment came when she saw her father's moist eyes as the results were announced. "I was overwhelmed to see her with the crown. I am very proud today to be recognised as Gopika Anand's father," says Anand Mohan. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

Alexis Sanchez took advantage of Gary Cahill's error to race clear and lift a composed finish over Thibaut Courtois after 11 minutes, and Theo Walcott completed a brilliant move to steer in Hector Bellerin's pass three minutes later. Mesut Ozil then left N'Golo Kante trailing to expose Chelsea on the counter-attack and steer home Arsenal's third five minutes before the break, after an exchange with Sanchez. It was little more than damage limitation for Chelsea after that as they fell to their second league loss in a row as rampant Arsenal moved third in the table. Arsenal, for all Chelsea's obvious frailties, were simply untouchable from back to front in a magnificent first 45 minutes that revived memories of their finest days. The Gunners showed pace, skill, pressed Chelsea into submission and probed weaknesses ruthlessly in the manner of a team at the top of its game. Arsenal's fans, so often frustrated and having already expressed their discontent at home this season, left Emirates Stadium with a spring in their step and sharing the optimism expressed by manager Arsene Wenger. He wrote in his programme notes: "We feel as though we are on the way up." This was a performance that spoke eloquently on behalf of Wenger's theory - with the proviso Gunners fans have heard this talk before only to be disappointed. This, however, was a magnificent exhibition of power, pace and end product, from the skills of Sanchez and Ozil in attack to the lightning speed and tackling of Bellerin at the back. It was as complete an Arsenal performance as they have delivered for some time. Now can they build on the platform laid by this brilliant 90 minutes? Chelsea looked an old and jaded side when faced with Liverpool's intense, aggressive approach at Stamford Bridge last week, their first loss under Antonio Conte. This was, arguably, an even more harrowing experience and a stark illustration of the job the Italian must do to revive Chelsea. Conte will know the pressures that come with managing under demanding owner Roman Abramovich, but the man who impressed so much in charge of Juventus and Italy must be given time to address so many problems. Chelsea still rely so heavily on 35-year-old captain John Terry, out injured here, while elements of the side that looked so strong winning the title the season before last are crumbling. Branislav Ivanovic had a miserable game but it was even worse for England defender Cahill, who was responsible for Sanchez's opener and also involved in an arm-waving spat with Courtois after a breakdown in communication in the second half Kante does not have the energy and support he had in midfield at Leicester City, with Nemanja Matic laboured and Cesc Fabregas off the pace and substituted. The hero of last season's title win was left trailing in Ozil's wake for Arsenal's third. Eden Hazard has regressed again while Diego Costa's only serious contribution was to conduct another war against the world. In other words, Conte has a large job on his hands. When Sanchez and Ozil are in this mood, Arsenal are a threat to anyone. The pair are world class when at the peak of their powers - and they certainly were here. Sanchez hurried Cahill into a panic before a gloriously composed chip for Arsenal's first, and he and Ozil combined to leave Chelsea's defence embarrassed as the latter scored the third. Arsenal were outstanding in all areas - but Sanchez and Ozil provided the final flourishes with the sort of class that makes them central figures in all Wenger is trying to achieve this season. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "It was an outstanding team performance. We played with spirit and collective pace and movement, always in a positive and committed team way. Media playback is not supported on this device "Our defenders have done extremely well. You cannot say one player was not at the right level from Petr Cech to Alexis Sanchez. "We wanted to start strong in a high pace and committed way. We started wobbly in the first 20 minutes against Southampton. We wanted to be consistent in our pressure no matter the score. We did it very well in the first half. It was in and out in the second, which was understandable. "Ideally you want the perfect game and you never get it. We got nearly the perfect first half and that is not bad. Football doesn't care for history and the anniversaries, just the result on the day. Today we had a good performance." Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said: "I think that we didn't have the right attitude from the first minute. "After today we are thinking we must work a lot because we are a great team only on paper. It is always a team problem rather than individuals, When nothing works it is very hard for a player to play well. Media playback is not supported on this device "I don't want to talk about the mistake [from Gary Cahill]. It is not right for the player. We win and lose as a team. If someone thinks this team is ready to fight, I think we must wait to improve a lot to come back a great team on the pitch, not just on paper. "We have not got the balance and now is the moment to consider everything. It is incredible to concede three goals. We must have last season present in our mind to not repeat the mistakes. We must reflect a lot to find very soon the right way." Arsenal are involved in Champions League action on Wednesday with a home tie against Swiss side Basel (19:45 BST).

Arsenal produced a devastating first-half display to dismantle Chelsea and secure a fourth successive Premier League win.

The group made a loss of $219m (£175.1m) compared with the same time last year when profits were $106m. However, a growing demand for "accurate and timely journalism" was helping to lift subscriber numbers for some of its news outlets, it said. News Corp gets more than half its revenue from outside the US. The firm's chief executive Robert Thomson said The Wall Street Journal now had more than 2.1 million paid subscribers and that for the first time, more than 50% of those subscribers were digital. "Audiences are craving integrity, which is why so many of our mastheads have reported strong growth in readers and subscribers this quarter," he said. "And advertisers need a trusted canvas and real results, not the muddled, muddied metrics of many digital platforms." The group reported strong performances at its book publisher Harper Collins and its digital estate agency division. Rapid expansion meant "digital real estate" was "well on the way to becoming the largest contributor to our profitability", said Mr Thomson. "This segment posted another very strong quarter, with a 16% year-over-year revenue increase, improved margins and robust audience gains," he added. Mr Thomson said a reduction in the value of print-related fixed assets at the firm's Australian newspaper business had hurt income for the quarter, together with non-cash charges related to Foxtel. News Corp's businesses include news and information services, book publishing, real estate services and cable network programming as well as pay-TV distribution in Australia.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has reported a loss for the three months to December, amid a difficult environment for print advertising.
