Dervite, 28, made 14 appearances last season to help Wanderers finish second in League One and secure promotion. The French centre-back joined Bolton from Charlton in 2014 and has made 83 appearances in all competitions. "Dorian was a bit of a forgotten man last year but came in and made an excellent contribution towards the end of the campaign," manager Phil Parkinson told the club website. Dervite follows David Wheater, Gary Madine and Jem Karacan in signing new contracts with Bolton, following their promotion to the Championship.

Defender Dorian Dervite has signed a new one-year contract with Bolton.

In Burnell's first action of the season, he beat a field of more than 80 swimmers at Emirates Palace Bay. The 23-year-old, who represented Team GB at Rio 2016, beat Dutchman Ferry Weertman in a sprint to the finish. "At the end of the day, it's about ticking that box and getting the first one under my belt since Rio," said Burnell. "I am out there to win every single race I go into, I am not out there to come second, third or fourth. "So for me it's about turning up to races in the best possible shape I can and showing people what I can do."

Britain's Jack Burnell won gold at the Abu Dhabi leg of the 10km Marathon Swimming World Cup.

A 9mm self-loading pistol, ammunition, four Enfield pistols and a rifle component were found at Albert Patterson's house in Hereford, the Hereford Times reported. The 65-year-old was jailed for 15 months at the city's Crown Court. He had already admitted three firearms offences, possessing prohibited ammunition and possessing ammunition without a certificate. More on this story and others from Herefordshire West Mercia Police said Patterson was arrested in January last year and charged in December. Two charges of possessing a prohibited weapon and a second charge of possessing ammunition without a certificate will remain on file following Wednesday's hearing. Former SAS soldier Lofty Wiseman who helped train Patterson, described him as a "good lad" who had been naive. "He broke the law unfortunately. He had to get punished," he said. "If he wanted a weapon as a keepsake, you could have had it de-activated, but by having a weapon, a serviceable weapon and ammunition, I think it's the ammunition that's really been the nail in the coffin. "If you have a weapon in a house with ammunition, there's always that temptation... you can never say you're going to use it but different circumstances, state of mind, if it's there, it can be used so that's where you must have laws."

A former SAS soldier has been jailed for possessing weapons and ammunition.

Emergency services were called to Bell Lane near The Delves in Walsall at 22:20 GMT on Monday as a car hit two brick walls and ended up across the gardens. West Midlands Ambulance Service said the man died at the scene. A woman was also cut out of the car before being taken to hospital with "serious" arm and leg injuries.

A man died when the car he was driving ploughed into the front gardens of three houses.

The 33ft (10m) deep hole appeared in Fontmell Close, St Albans, a former clay pit site, on 1 October last year. Investigations into the cause mean utilities to some homes have not yet been restored and the road has not reopened. Hertfordshire County Council hopes the work will be completed by Christmas. More on this story and others from Hertfordshire Following the collapse in the early hours, families in more than 50 homes were left without power, water or sanitation before temporary solutions were provided for the majority. Residents still have to use a temporary road built across a nearby heath. A full microgravity survey and exploratory drilling established the hole was caused by old mine workings and a ground subsidence investigation report found that no evidence "indicated further significant mined voids". Councillor Terry Douris said: "It was essential that we established the cause of the collapse before we started repairs. "This has been an extremely stressful time for the residents and it would be wonderful if they can be safely back in their homes for Christmas." Ben Bagshawe was evacuated on the night along with his heavily pregnant wife, and their baby boy was born a week later. They have been renting a flat for the past year with the cost covered by his insurance. "It's been frustrating but not the end of the world," he said. Rosemary and Derek Broom, the residents closest to the hole who have been able to remain in their house, said they feel the road is now "the safest place to live in the country". "The roads, the fields, the children's play area, everything has been so well surveyed we don't feel at all worried," Mrs Broom said.

Four families who had to move out of their homes when a huge sinkhole opened up in their road are still waiting to return after a year.

The Dow Jones industrial average ended 11.23 points ahead at 19,945. Investment bank Goldman Sachs led the risers, up 0.24%. The sportswear giant Nike led the fallers, down 1.2%. The technology-heavy Nasdaq jumped 24.75 points to 5,487 while the S&P 500 added 5.09 points to 2,268. Oil prices increased ahead of a deal to cut production. Brent crude gained 1.7% to $56.09 per barrel while US crude also rose 1.7% to $53.90 a barrel. The Opec cartel of oil producing nations have agreed to reduce output from 1 January 2017 by 1.2m barrels a day to a daily 32.5m barrels for at least six months.

Wall Street closed higher on Tuesday but surge needed to break through the 20,000 mark remained elusive.

The body of Waldek Mural, 57, was discovered by a member of the public in Burley Park Burley on 5 September. A post-mortem examination showed he had died as a result of multiple injuries. Grzegorz Kowalczyk, 41, from Headingley, appeared at Leeds Magistrates' Court where he was remanded in custody to appear at the city's crown court on Tuesday.

A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a Polish national found dead in a park in Leeds.

YouTube said the video - its most watched ever - has been viewed more than 2,147,483,647 times. It has now changed the maximum view limit to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, or more than nine quintillion. Gangnam Style became a worldwide hit when it was released in 2012, largely due to the surreal video. How do you say 9,223,372,036,854,775,808? Nine quintillion, two hundred and twenty-three quadrillion, three hundred and seventy-two trillion, thirty-six billion, eight hundred and fifty-four million, seven hundred and seventy-five thousand, eight hundred and eight. Why was Psy nearly too much for YouTube? YouTube's counter previously used a 32-bit integer, which is a unit used to represent data in computer architecture. This means the maximum possible views it could count was 2,147,483,647. On 1 December, it posted a statement saying: "We never thought a video would be watched in numbers greater than a 32-bit integer... but that was before we met Psy." Google, which owns YouTube, later told website The Verge that engineers "saw this coming a couple months ago and updated our systems to prepare for it". YouTube now uses a 64-bit integer for its video counter, which means videos have a maximum viewer count of 9.22 quintillion. Psy has yet to comment although news of YouTube's change was posted on his Facebook and Twitter pages. The second most-watched video on YouTube - Baby by Justin Bieber - lags behind Gangnam Style by more than a billion views.

The music video for South Korean singer Psy's Gangnam Style exceeded YouTube's view limit, prompting the site to upgrade its counter.

From 2010 until mid-2014, world oil prices had been fairly stable, at around $110 a barrel. But since June prices have more than halved. Brent crude oil has now dipped below $50 a barrel for the first time since May 2009 and US crude is down to below $48 a barrel. The reasons for this change are twofold - weak demand in many countries due to insipid economic growth, coupled with surging US production. Added to this is the fact that the oil cartel Opec is determined not to cut production as a way to prop up prices. So who are some of the winners and losers? Russia is one of the world's largest oil producers, and its dramatic interest rate hike to 17% in support of its troubled rouble underscores how heavily its economy depends on energy revenues, with oil and gas accounting for 70% of export incomes. Russia loses about $2bn in revenues for every dollar fall in the oil price, and the World Bank has warned that Russia's economy would shrink by at least 0.7% in 2015 if oil prices do not recover. Despite this, Russia has confirmed it will not cut production to shore up oil prices. "If we cut, the importer countries will increase their production and this will mean a loss of our niche market," said Energy Minister Alexander Novak. Falling oil prices, coupled with western sanctions over Russia's support for separatists in eastern Ukraine have hit the country hard. The government has cut its growth forecast for 2015, predicting that the economy will sink into recession. Former finance minister, Alexei Kudrin, said the currency's fall was not just a reaction to lower oil prices and western sanctions, "but also [a show of] distrust to the economic policies of the government". Given the pressures facing Moscow now, some economists expect further measures to shore up the currency. "We think capital controls as a policy measure cannot be off the table now," said Luis Costa, a senior analyst at Citi. While President Putin is not using the word "crisis", Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has been more forthright on Russia's economic problems. "Frankly, we, strictly speaking, have not fully recovered from the crisis of 2008," he said in a recent interview. Because of the twin impact of falling oil prices and sanctions, he said the government had had to cut spending. "We had to abandon a number of programmes and make certain sacrifices." Russia's interest rate rise may also bring its own problems, as high rates can choke economic growth by making it harder for businesses to borrow and spend. Venezuela is one of the world's largest oil exporters, but thanks to economic mismanagement it was already finding it difficult to pay its way even before the oil price started falling. Inflation is running at about 60% and the economy is teetering on the brink of recession. The need for spending cuts is clear, but the government faces difficult choices. The country already has some of the world's cheapest petrol prices - fuel subsidies cost Caracas about $12.5bn a year - but President Maduro has ruled out subsidy cuts and higher petrol prices. "I've considered as head of state, that the moment has not arrived," he said. "There's no rush, we're not going to throw more gasoline on the fire that already exists with speculation and induced inflation." The government's caution is understandable. A petrol price rise in 1989 saw widespread riots that left hundreds dead. Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter and Opec's most influential member, could support global oil prices by cutting back its own production, but there is little sign it wants to do this. There could be two reasons - to try to instil some discipline among fellow Opec oil producers, and perhaps to put the US's burgeoning shale oil and gas industry under pressure. Although Saudi Arabia needs oil prices to be around $85 in the longer term, it has deep pockets with a reserve fund of some $700bn - so can withstand lower prices for some time. "In terms of production and pricing of oil by Middle East producers, they are beginning to recognise the challenge of US production," says Robin Mills, Manaar Energy's head of consulting. If a period of lower prices were to force some higher cost producers to shut down, then Riyadh might hope to pick up market share in the longer run. However, there is also recent history behind Riyadh's unwillingness to cut production. In the 1980s the country did cut production significantly in a bid to boost prices, but it had little effect and it also badly affected the Saudi economy. Alongside Saudi Arabia, Gulf producers such as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have also amassed considerable foreign currency reserves, which means that they could run deficits for several years if necessary. Other Opec members such as Iran, Iraq and Nigeria, with greater domestic budgetary demands because of their large population sizes in relation to their oil revenues, have less room for manoeuvre. They have combined foreign currency reserves of less than $200bn, and are already under pressure from increased US competition. Nigeria, which is Africa's biggest oil producer, has seen growth in the rest of its economy but despite this it remains heavily oil-dependent. Energy sales account for up to 80% of all government revenue and more than 90% of the country's exports. The war in Syria and Iraq has also seen Isis, or Islamic State, capturing oil wells. It is estimated it is making about $3m a day through black market sales - and undercutting market prices by selling at a significant discount - around $30-60 a barrel. "The growth of oil production in North America, particularly in the US, has been staggering," says Columbia University's Jason Bordoff. Speaking to BBC World Service's World Business Report, he said that US oil production levels were at their highest in almost 30 years. It has been this growth in US energy production, where gas and oil is extracted from shale formations using hydraulic fracturing or fracking, that has been one of the main drivers of lower oil prices. "Shale has essentially severed the linkage between geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, and oil price and equities," says Seth Kleinman, head of energy strategy at Citi. Even though many US shale oil producers have far higher costs than conventional rivals, many need to carry on pumping to generate at least some revenue stream to pay off debts and other costs. With Europe's flagging economies characterised by low inflation and weak growth, any benefits of lower prices would be welcomed by beleaguered governments. A 10% fall in oil prices should lead to a 0.1% increase in economic output, say some. In general consumers benefit through lower energy prices, but eventually low oil prices do erode the conditions that brought them about. China, which is set to become the largest net importer of oil, should gain from falling prices. However, lower oil prices won't fully offset the far wider effects of a slowing economy. Japan imports nearly all of the oil it uses. But lower prices are a mixed blessing because high energy prices had helped to push inflation higher, which has been a key part of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's growth strategy to combat deflation. India imports 75% of its oil, and analysts say falling oil prices will ease its current account deficit. At the same time, the cost of India's fuel subsidies could fall by $2.5bn this year - but only if oil prices stay low.

Global oil prices have fallen sharply over the past seven months, leading to significant revenue shortfalls in many energy exporting nations, while consumers in many importing countries are likely to have to pay less to heat their homes or drive their cars.

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

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

The 32-year-old scored 25 points on Sunday to pass the milestone in his 10th season with the Cavaliers. He now has twice as many points as Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who is second on the team's all-time list with 10,616. James, who also played for Miami Heat, is eighth on the NBA all-time list with 27,938 career points. Media playback is not supported on this device Elsewhere the Atlanta Hawks needed four periods of over-time to beat New York Knicks 142-139. The game lasted for more than four hours, after the teams were tied after 48 minutes and then played periods of five minutes until there was a winner. Hawk's Paul Millsap played 60 minutes, including 35 consecutive minutes, to finish with 37 points.

LeBron James became the first player to score 20,000 points for the Cleveland Cavaliers when the NBA champions beat Oklahoma Thunder 107-91.

The motion was tabled by Jim O'Callaghan, Fianna Fáil, amid fears that the planned march could lead to violence. He wants Mr Frazer to cancel it. A rally in Dublin in 2006 was abandoned after rioting erupted. Forty-one people were arrested. A number of people, including Irish police officers, were injured. Disturbances broke out in O'Connell Street, where the rally had been due to start. Stones and fireworks were thrown after republican demonstrators mounted a counter-march.

Councillors in Dublin are due to vote later on a motion against a Love Ulster march planned for March by loyalist campaigner, Willie Frazer.

Prop Mako Vunipola, 25, and 23-year-old brother Billy, started their careers at Thornbury Rugby Club. Both have become England regulars since joining Saracens, with Mako winning 29 international caps and Billy 23. They were both junior members at the club on the outskirts of Bristol in South Gloucestershire. Roy Black, who was chairman of Thornbury RFC at the time, said they were "big lads" when they were 11 or 12 and caused the opposition "a lot of problems" "If you saw them in Thornbury and they were walking to the club or to school they'd always have a rugby ball in their hand and throwing it from one side of the road to the other over the traffic," he said. Mr Black also recounted the time when Lloyd Spacey, their PE teacher at nearby Castle School, was knocked to the ground by Mako after asking him "did he play rugby". "Mako grunted 'yes', so Lloyd picked up a tackle bag and Mako ran straight through him when he was about 13," Mr Black said.

Two international rugby stars have returned to their home club to help coach an under-10s team and to watch the first XV in action.

Using measurements from an infrared telescope in Hawaii, a UK and US team found evidence for temperatures as high as 1,500C - hundreds of degrees warmer than anywhere else on the planet. They suggest the hotspot is created by thunderous soundwaves "breaking" in the thin upper reaches of the atmosphere. The research is published in Nature. It arguably solves what planetary scientists had dubbed an "energy crisis" for gas giants like Jupiter: temperatures in their upper atmospheres soar much higher than can be explained by solar energy - especially given their vast distances from the Sun. If the mysterious heat were generated by local sources, like Jupiter's famous storm, then the conundrum would be solved - and these measurements are the first direct evidence of any such activity. Study co-author Dr Tom Stallard, from the University of Leicester, said this was a major step forward in a "20-30 year odyssey" to try and understand heat flow on Jupiter. "Ever since Voyager, we've had measurements of the temperature at the top of Jupiter's atmosphere, and it's been hot across the whole globe - from the poles, all the way to the equator," he told the BBC. Jupiter's enormous, dramatic aurora can explain the heat in the polar regions, but for that warmth to reach the equator would require incredibly dramatic mixing, which modelling studies haven't been able to support. "There's no real excuse for it to be so hot," said Dr James O'Donoghue from Boston University, the paper's first author. The freshly discovered spike in temperature, detected using a spectrometer at the Nasa Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, offers a solution. Several hundred km directly above the clouds of the Great Red Spot, the hotspot suggests that high-altitude heat is somehow created by the turmoil beneath. "Several people have argued that it's likely that the heat comes from below, but the observations have never backed them up," Dr Stallard said. He and his colleagues don't know exactly what is causing the heat, but they have some ideas. It could be driven by great Jovian thunderclaps, rumbling upwards from the churning red clouds of the Solar System's biggest storm. "You get some kind of acoustic event, probably thunder or something like that - or possibly other forms of sound energy - and that propagates directly upwards," Dr Stallard explained. "That wave will continue going upwards until it reaches a lower-density region at the top of the atmosphere, and then it breaks and deposits all that wave energy into the top of the atmosphere, just like waves break on the shore - as the water gets thinner, it's less able to carry that wave and so it breaks and you see lots of energy." There is a precedent for such sound-driven warming much closer to home, according to Dr O'Donoghue. "There is some evidence in Earth's atmosphere, above storms and above features such as mountains - the Andes mountains in fact - that there are acoustic waves emanating from them, and that they propagate up into the atmosphere and cause heating there," he said. The key to revealing the temperature spike was a tiny ion: H3+, a hydrogen molecule (H2) with an added proton. It is incredibly reactive and consequently, short-lived and rare on Earth. But in the sparse fringe of Jupiter's outer atmosphere there is almost nothing else for it to react with. Crucially, this ion works like a glowing, long-range thermometer for scientists, if they have the right sort of telescope - such as the spectrometer at the IRTF, which gathered the relevant data in a single nine-hour window back in 2012. "Just by measuring its light, you can find out the temperature wherever it is," said Dr O'Donoghue. "And it's throughout all of the gas giant upper atmospheres - so it's essentially an in situ temperature probe." Further insights might come from Nasa's Juno spacecraft, now in orbit around Jupiter after its five-year trek. Dr Stallard said that telescopes around the world were trained on the gas giant to take parallel measurements - and his team had planned their observations with the mission in mind. "We thought, this is something that we haven't addressed, and it needed addressing. We've really ramped up our studies away from the aurora. "Juno's going to reveal magnificent levels of detail about... what the aurora are and how they're generated. But it will be interesting to see how much it tells us about the non-auroral regions and the top of the atmosphere. "Obviously it's been designed to look deep, and to look at the aurora at the poles, but potentially Juno could reveal a lot more." Follow Jonathan on Twitter

Jupiter's Great Red Spot - a hurricane three times bigger than Earth - is blasting the planet's upper atmosphere with heat, astronomers have found.

Born Eric Lubbock, he became Liberal MP for Orpington in 1962 when he won a by-election with a huge 22% swing from the Conservatives. He held the seat for eight years, moving to the Lords in 1971 when he inherited the title of Baron Avebury. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron paid tribute to a "true Liberal", "great campaigner" and "committed internationalist". Lord Avebury: Obituary Mr Farron said the peer, who had been suffering from leukaemia, would "be remembered as much for his unyielding commitment to fighting for Liberal causes as his sensational by-election victory". "He campaigned to lower the voting age, founded the parliamentary human rights group and fought for the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, taking up the cases of hundreds of individuals fleeing persecution. "He was a committed internationalist, regularly promoting human rights around the world. The Liberal Democrats have lost a great campaigner, a great friend and a true champion of the Liberal cause." A Buddhist, Lord Avebury was the patron of Angulimala, which promotes the teaching and practice of Buddhism in British prisons. He also campaigned on behalf of secular causes, fighting to remove mandatory daily worship in maintained schools. In 2009, the National Secular Society named the peer secularist of the year, jointly with Evan Harris, for his work on abolition of blasphemy laws in England and Wales. His biography on the Lib Dem website says he also "sought and won" a battle with the senior parliamentary official known as Black Rod to keep the right to park bicycles against the front of the Houses of Parliament. Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the National Secular Society, said Lord Avebury had supported countless human rights campaigns. "His knowledge of foreign affairs, particularly of remote parts of the developing world, was second to none. The weak and oppressed in these places have lost a true champion. "I have lost a very close friend. The nation has lost a human rights champion."

The longest-serving Lib Dem peer and veteran human rights campaigner, Lord Avebury, has died at the age of 87.

The proposals mean charges would be placed on 625 spaces in the area and restrictions placed on a further 741. Reading Borough Council has spent four years designing the scheme "to relieve parking pressures at the hospital" and to make parking easier for residents. The petition, set up by hospital staff, describes the scheme as "problematic". The online petition opposes the introduction of pay and display meters for Addington Road, Erleigh Road and other roads around the hospital in Reading. Clare Goulbourn-Lay, a Royal Berkshire Hospital midwife, set up the petition to express her concerns about the potential consequences of the scheme. "By making changes to this road, you're not just making it difficult for the staff, you're making it difficult for the patients and pushing the problem further out," she said. "With the university so close as well, there simply isn't enough parking space as it is. To add another restriction is just silly." She has called for the scheme to be cancelled or redesigned to "help make spending time with loved ones easier" and to limit the "stress and anxiety" of staff and patients. John Sharpe, who lives on Erleigh Road, has called the plans "divisive" and said he is concerned the restrictions will make parking pressures worse. "I'm scared it will become impossible to live in the area," he added. Reading Borough Council said "up to five years of public consultation had taken place on the principle of prioritising parking for residents in the area" and that further public input on the plans are being sought. Residents have until 13 June to submit their views to the council.

Plans to cut free parking on roads around the Royal Berkshire Hospital have been opposed by a petition of more than 2,300 signatures.

The Gills, who finished 20th in League One last season, have signed eight players so far this summer. But having started the season with a 0-0 draw to Doncaster and a 2-0 loss to Reading, Pennock wants more recruits. "They've got to be the right players, the right characters and more importantly they've got to be good players," Pennock, 46, said. "Everybody is pulling together in the right direction - it's a good changing room and if we can add two or three more I'll be very happy." Although the club are still on the lookout for new additions, Pennock is pleased with those who have already arrived. Gillingham have brought in defenders Gabriel Zakuani, Luke O'Neill, Connor Ogilvie and Alex Lacey, strikers Liam Nash, Conor Wilkinson and Tom Eaves and midfielder Billy Bingham. "Overall, I'm happy with every single one of them - all of the new lads who have come in have contributed to what we've done, they've been absolutely first-class," Pennock told BBC Radio Kent. "I think it's pushed the others on who were here last year as well. The whole club at the moment is in a good place."

Gillingham are looking to add "two or three" more players to their squad, according to manager Ady Pennock.

Rherras is a 23-year-old left-sided player of Moroccan descent who has spent the last year playing for Sint-Truiden in the Belgian top flight. Sammon, the 29-year-old ex-Kilmarnock forward, has agreed a three-year contract as he leaves Derby County. They will arrive as Hearts prepare for their first Europa League qualifier. Six players left Tynecastle in the summer, with three first-team regulars - defender Blaze Augustyn, goalkeeper Neil Alexander and midfielder Miguel Pallardo - all now on the lookout for new clubs.

Hearts are expected to confirm the signing of defender Faycal Rherras and striker Conor Sammon ahead of a return to pre-season training next week.

Police were called to the Bristol Road South branch, in Northfield, at 11:45 GMT to reports a female member of staff was being held hostage in an interview room. West Midlands Police said it is understood a firearm was produced, but no threats or demands were made. They said the man, aged 60, surrendered to police at about 12:50 GMT. Police said the suspect, who is believed to be from the local area and a customer at the branch, was taken to hospital for an assessment. He is expected to be questioned later on suspicion of firearms offences. See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here Officers, including armed police, contained the building and negotiators were sent to the scene as a cordon was put in place. Samantha Lacey, 32, from Northfield, said she arrived at the bank to make a deposit but found the door was shut. She said: "There were about six people outside. When I asked what happened they said a man walked in, pulled a gun out and told all customers to get out." Ch Insp Shaun Phillips said: "Officers quickly surrounded the bank, set-up a street cordon and established phone contact with some staff members who were hiding in a back room. "It's understood the man was with one female staff member, while other staff were lying low in another back room. "No customers were caught up in the incident and no-one was hurt."

A man was arrested on suspicion of holding a staff member at gunpoint at a NatWest bank in Birmingham.

The Aberdeenshire-based company said there had been an "unprecedented response" to its Equity for Punks USA crowdfunding initiative. BrewDog hopes to raise up to $50m within six months to help fund expansion in North America. Plans include a new 100,000 sq ft brewery in Columbus, Ohio. It is scheduled to open later this year. Shares in the funding round cost $47.50 each, with a minimum investment of $95. According to BrewDog, more than 1,200 people have already signed up to the scheme. On its website, the company said: "This unprecedented response to our first crowdfunding round in the States shows the demand for our beer in America, and sets us up with a community of like-minded individuals ready and waiting to help us make our US business an explosive success." Its Equity for Punks USA investment scheme is the fifth fundraising venture by the brewery, and its first in the US. The Ellon-based company has raised more than £26m since launching its first Equity for Punks crowdfunding round in 2009. Its last UK round raised £19m to fund growth plans, including expanding its brewery in Ellon and opening new bars. The round, which closed in April, fell short of its £25m target. BrewDog's British business now employs more than 600 people globally and exports to 55 countries. It also operates more than 40 bars in the UK and overseas.

Craft brewer BrewDog has raised $1m (£770,000) from US investors within the first three days of a new funding round, according to the company.

Edwards, 23, has scored three goals in 127 games for the Shrimps since joining from Blackburn Rovers in May 2014, with two in 50 appearances last season.

Plymouth Argyle have signed defender Ryan Edwards from Morecambe on undisclosed terms after agreeing a compensation package.

Officials in Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia all said they had not formally agreed to join the alliance. Saudi Arabia on Tuesday said 34 mainly Muslim nations would be part of the counter-terrorism grouping. Prince Mohammed said it would focus on efforts to fight terrorism in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt and Afghanistan. "Currently, every Muslim country is fighting terrorism individually... so co-ordinating efforts is very important," he told a news conference. He indicated there were still "procedures" for these countries to go through before joining, "but out of keenness to achieve this coalition as soon as possible, [the alliance of] 34 countries has been announced". Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry was quoted in the Dawn newspaper as saying he was surprised by the announcement and had asked the Pakistani ambassador in Riyadh for clarification. The country's foreign office said in a statement later on Wednesday that it was "awaiting further details to decide the extent of its participation in different activities of the alliance" before making a decision on whether to join. In Indonesia, the foreign ministry said it too had not yet decided whether to join. "The government is still observing and waiting to see the modalities of the military coalition formed by Saudi Arabia," foreign ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir told The Jakarta Post. Malaysian Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein went further - expressing support for the coalition but ruling out any military involvement from Kuala Lumpur. "The Saudi initiative does not involve any military commitment, but an understanding that we will combat militancy," he said. Announcing the alliance, Saudi Arabia said a joint operations centre would be established in the capital Riyadh and the coalition would focus on terror groups "whatever their doctrine". It comes amid international pressure for Gulf Arab states to do more in the fight against so-called Islamic State. The BBC's Frank Gardner points out that the Shia-majority nations of Iran and Iraq, as well as Syria, are noticeably absent from the alliance. It is far from clear how it could conduct counter-terrorism operations in IS-plagued Iraq and Syria without the agreement of those governments, he adds. Saudi Arabia's list of 34 alliance members: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Gabon, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Palestinians, Qatar, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

A number of countries have expressed surprise that they were included by Saudi Arabia in a new military alliance to fight terrorism.

It is hoped the theatre, founded in 1875, will be used for theatrical performances, cinema screenings, comedy and live music. The BBC studios, at the eastern end of the Palace, will also be repaired and refurbished. If successful in raising funds it is hoped the theatre will reopen in 2018. The theatre and studios form part of a larger east wing restoration project to transform Alexandra Palace into a new cultural destination. As part of the renovations, the glazed east court will become a space for the public and for exhibitions. Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) is contributing £18.8m towards the project, while Haringey Council is contributing £6.8m. The entire east wing will be refurbished at a cost of £26.6m. Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust have committed to raising the final £1m by summer 2017. The theatre, which has languished unused for decades, still has much of its original decor and stage machinery in place. It was created to showcase opera, musicals, plays and all kinds of entertainment, even hosting early cinema screenings.

Alexandra Palace has started a £1m fundraising campaign to bring its Victorian theatre back to life after lying unused for 80 years.

The development could be the starting point for breeding a strain of ash to replace thousands expected to succumb to ash die-back in the next few years. Ash die-back is now established and spreading within Britain Researchers are hoping that genetics might yield the knowledge to fight back. A joint project by the John Innes Centre, the Genome Analysis Centre and the Sainsbury Laboratory - all based in Norwich - has reached this milestone just two months after receiving the samples. Dr Mario Caccamo of the Genome Analysis Centre said: "Speed is important to the research so that all those studying the epidemic can start to look for clues to tackle it." And they do mean everyone. All the data is being put on a crowd sourcing website OpenAshDieBack to enable experts from around the world to help identify genes that might be connected to the trees' ability to withstand the fungus. These genes could then be part of a breeding programme for resistant trees. The samples for the latest research came from so-called "tree 35", a strain of ash from Denmark originally bred nearly 100 years ago, which has shown an ability to tolerate the fungal disease, when virtually all its Danish relatives were wiped out. But just planting this variety in the UK would leave us with a narrow genetic base vulnerable to future diseases and not ideally suited to British growing conditions. Prof Allan Downie of the John Innes Centre believes this genetic understanding of both the lethal fungal infection and the surviving strain could help fill the impending gap in the canopy. "We're trying to give nature a bit of a helping hand by identifying the right kind of (native) trees to do the appropriate crosses," he said. "It would be wonderful to be part of the solution but the problem is enormous and the breeding is going to take a long time." In March, a related team sequenced the genome of the fungus that causes die-back. The firm grip of this disease is evident in many of East Anglia's woodlands. While filming with Countryfile in Suffolk, Paul Beales from Fera, the government's Food and Environment Research Agency, set up a search for the Chalara fraxinea fungus itself. The symptoms of the disease were plain to see in scars on the trunk and skeletal canopies, but the source of the infection - the sporulating fungus - had not been found in Britain. After half an hour on hands and knees in the leaf litter and some identification first by magnifying glass and then by genetic analyser, that all changed. Paul Beales said: "We've just got the sporing stage of this particular fungus picked up from the ground which has never been found in the UK before. "This is a first. It's here to stay." If that is true, breeding a tree which can survive alongside it is more crucial than ever. Countryfile is broadcast at 1900 BST on BBC One.

Scientists have sequenced the genome of a type of ash tree with resistance to the deadly fungal disease sweeping the UK.

Fire, police and coastguard teams were called to Butley Creek near Orford, Suffolk, on Wednesday by a member of the public who had seen the supine figure of a man lying in the water. The "body" turned out to be a work of art called A Thousand Tides, which has been at the site for more than a year. A Suffolk Police spokesman described the work as "quite realistic". Read more Suffolk stories here The sculpture, by artist Laurence Edwards, was designed to only be seen at low tide and was intended to sink eventually. However, Mr Edwards said it had "stayed on the surface longer than it should". He said: "I've always been a bit worried that a helicopter would spot it and want to rescue it. "To convince someone it's a real person is a great achievement, although I would like to apologise to the poor person who called it in." The sculpture was a parting gift to the area from Mr Edwards, who had a studio and foundry works nearby for 15 years until spring 2016 before moving to Halesworth. Mr Edwards' website says his work "attempts to do justice to the locality and its history, by peopling it with large figures that have survived the ravages of the water and the elements." Suffolk Police confirmed they attended Butley Creek, saying: "Police received a call from a member of the public reporting what they believed to be a body in the river. "The fire service and coastguard were also called to assist, but a short while later this was actually confirmed to be a sculpture." A Thousand Tides is reminiscent of Antony Gormley's Another Place installation on Crosby beach in Merseyside, which depicts 100 bronze figures looking out over the Irish Sea.

Three different 999 services had to be stood down after a "body in the water" turned out to be a bronze sculpture.

Tevez, who missed a penalty against Wigan last Saturday, was back on the bench for the midweek Champions League game against Napoli. Mancini insists that Tevez, who failed to secure a summer move away from the club, must accept the situation. "In this moment there are players that are better than him but Carlos is here training," he said. "Carlos will have a chance to play. I don't know if he is happy but every player that can't play is not happy. This is normal. "He will have his moment." The form of fellow strikers Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero, who have scored six league goals apiece so far this season, mean that the 27-year-old Argentina international's chances have been limited, while Mario Balotelli has also played just one league game. But Mancini believes his free-scoring side still need to be more ruthless in front of goal than neighbours and arch-rivals Manchester United, who have scored 18 goals - three more than City - in their first four Premier League games. When City underlined their title credentials with a 5-1 win at Tottenham last month, United bettered them with a 8-2 victory over Arsenal. Mancini's men impressed again by beating Wigan 3-0 last week, only for United to hammer Bolton 5-0. The Italian said: "Man United are a top team - they have been used to winning for a long time. They have strong players. "When they played against Arsenal, when they scored two or three goals, they continued trying to score. "We need to have this mentality. If we have a game like Tottenham where we can score, we need to continue to try to play."

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says Carlos Tevez must wait for his chance to get back into the team.

Kirklees Council had been consulting on plans to replace paid staff at seven sites in Huddersfield with volunteers. Protesters who gathered outside a council meeting on Wednesday said a survey had showed 66% of people were opposed to the plan. The council later said there would be no changes for three years. Campaigners said the decision was "wonderful". The changes would have affected libraries at Honley, Golcar, Slaithwaite, Lepton, Kirkheaton, Denby Dale and Shepley. Campaigner June Jones said replacing professional library staff with volunteers was not sustainable and was likely to have led to library closures. Ms Jones, of Save Slaithwaite Library, said: "It's wonderful for our communities and we are going to be drinking champagne for the next week."

Planned cuts to library services in a West Yorkshire town have been scrapped following campaigns by residents.

The Briton served four double faults when serving for a straight-set win, but won the decider 6-2. Evans, 25, plays American Bjorn Fratangelo next as he looks to join Andy Murray in the first round proper. Evans is the last Briton in qualifying after James Ward and Naomi Broady were both beaten in a chilly Melbourne. Broady was beaten 6-3 2-6 6-3 in round one by French world number 166 Alize Lim, while Ward lost 6-4 7-5 to American Dennis Novikov in round two. The Australian Open begins on Monday 18 January.

Dan Evans is one win away from the Australian Open main draw after beating Israel's Amir Weintraub 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-2.

He accepted the offer of an alliance from Francois Bayrou, another centrist and devout Roman Catholic. Recent polls suggest support for Mr Macron, tipped by many to win the election, has dropped slightly. Two of far-right candidate Marine Le Pen's staff were detained on Wednesday as part of a financial inquiry. Her chief of staff was placed under formal investigation over the alleged misuse of EU funds to pay parliamentary assistants, French media report. Her bodyguard was also questioned. The National Front (FN) leader, who denies any wrongdoing, dismissed the investigation as a "political dirty trick". She enjoys a solid lead in opinion polls for the first round in April but is seen as being easily defeated in the second. Mr Bayrou has run three times for president, winning more than 18% of the vote in the 2007 election. Announcing that he would not stand this year, he offered to join forces with Mr Macron to prevent "the failure of France". Ms Le Pen, he said, posed a "major and immediate threat for our country and Europe". Welcoming the news, Mr Macron, a free-market liberal, told Reuters news agency: "The alliance proposed by Francois Bayrou... fully matches our commitment to renewal and unity." Analysts say Mr Bayrou's support base is likely to split now between Mr Macron and his conservative opponent Francois Fillon. A new opinion poll indicates that Mr Macron and Mr Fillon are neck and neck in the race for the all-important second place in the first round - with both on about 19%. According to the same poll, taken before the alliance was announced, Mr Bayrou would net 5.5% while Ms Le Pen would take 26%. In the second round, Mr Macron would beat Ms Le Pen by 61% to 39%, while Mr Fillon would also defeat the far-right candidate, but by 57% to 43%. Early on in the campaign, Mr Fillon was viewed as the clear favourite to reach the run-off along with Ms Le Pen and win, but a scandal over payments to his family dented his image in January. He had talks with his fellow conservative former prime minister Alain Juppe, whom he beat in the Republican party primaries, on Wednesday, Le Figaro newspaper reports. Ms Le Pen has been accused by the European Parliament of misusing a total of some 340,000 euros (£289,000; $359,000), AFP news agency reports. It is alleged that she claimed a salary for her bodyguard Thierry Legier for a bogus job and paid her chief of staff, Catherine Griset, as her EU assistant in Brussels when Ms Griset was actually working for the party. Mr Legier and Ms Griset were taken in for questioning on Wednesday. "The French can tell the difference between genuine scandals and political dirty tricks," Ms Le Pen responded, drawing a distinction between her case and that of Mr Fillon. This election promises to one of the most dramatic in decades in France, a core member of the EU with the world's sixth-largest economy. Fillon apologises over family payments Le Pen refuses to repay 'misused EU cash'

The leading centrist candidate in France's presidential election, Emmanuel Macron, has received a boost after allying with a veteran moderate.

David Dixon texted his aunt saying he was safe after the two airport blasts, but his family fear he was caught up in a further explosion at a Metro station. Mr Dixon, from Nottingham, lived in the capital with his partner Charlotte Sutcliffe and their son. He is thought to be the only Briton still missing since Tuesday's attacks. Downing Street said four Britons were injured in the blasts, which left 31 people dead. Mr Dixon's partner told the Telegraph that police have his dental records and are seeing if they match any of the victims. How the day unfolded What we know about the attacks so far Airport security under the spotlight again Full coverage of the Brussels attacks His friend Simon Hartley-Jones said the couple had lived in Brussels for about 10 years but still had a house in Nottingham and came back regularly. "David is a programmer and works in the centre of Brussels," said Mr Hartley-Jones. "He makes his way there every day using the Metro system. "For some reason he hasn't made it... and we're really concerned about him. "It's really unusual for him not to contact [Charlotte] - it's really out of character." Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire He described Mr Dixon, originally from Hartlepool, as "a lovely guy" and "an amazing man who deeply, deeply loves his son". The couple's son was staying with friends and was unaware his father was missing, he added. "They still have a house in Mapperley [in Nottingham] which they come back to regularly, this is their home. "They were supposed to come back this weekend, all the family were due back this weekend to spend Easter with us here, and we're missing them deeply." Mr Hartley-Jones has appealed for anyone in Belgium who might know of Mr Dixon's whereabouts to get in touch. "Charlotte is just desperately looking for David and we need any information you can get," he said. "Please just check in hospitals in Brussels, just check that David is not one of your patients, and just let us know." Ms Sutcliffe's sister, Marie, said they were hoping to hear from a hospital or police that he had perhaps been injured but was safe. "Not everybody has been identified yet among the injured, so it's just waiting for that process to happen," she said. She plans to go out to Brussels to support her sister. "Understandably she's very, very distressed," she said. "It's just waiting, which is heartbreaking and very worrying." Mr Dixon's cousin, Philip Dixon, said his family was "fearing the worst". "He takes the Metro to work and unfortunately it's looking like he could have been on this Metro train at the time of this bombing yesterday," he said. "Charlotte tried phoning his work and he didn't turn in for work yesterday morning so we are fearing the worst at the moment." Downing Street said four Britons were confirmed to have been injured in the twin blasts which hit Zaventem airport at about 07:00 GMT and Maelbeek Metro station an hour later. So-called Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the attacks. A No 10 spokesman said: "We are concerned about one missing British national and we are in close contact with the Belgian authorities. "We are aware of four British nationals who were injured in the attacks - three are being treated in hospital, one has already been discharged. "Our embassy staff are working to assist all British nationals affected." Mr Dixon has been working as an IT contractor for securities settlement group Euroclear, which has an office a few Metro stops away from the station that was attacked. Tristan Peniston-Bird, a Euroclear spokesman, said: "We confirm that David Dixon is a contractor working for Euroclear in Brussels, who remains unaccounted for following yesterday's tragic events. "We are in touch with his partner and continue to co-ordinate with the authorities in locating David. "Our primary concern is the safety and protection of our people, and our thoughts go out to those affected by yesterday's attacks."

Friends of a computer programmer missing in Brussels since the bomb attacks in the Belgian capital have said they are desperate to find him.

The Cumbernauld-based firm, which also makes Rubicon and Tizer, said it would cut Irn Bru's sugar content from about 10g per 100ml to just below 5g. It will reduce the calorie count per can from just under 140 to about 66. AG Barr said the move was part of a "long-standing sugar reduction programme". It confirmed in a stock market announcement on Wednesday that more than 90% of its portfolio would contain less than 5g of total sugar per 100ml by this autumn. Tizer is already below that threshold, while the Rubicon carbonates range will all have less than 5g of sugar per 100ml by the middle of this year, the company said. The UK government plans to introduce a levy on sugary drinks in April 2018. The Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) will have two bands in the UK - one for soft drinks with more than 5g of sugar per 100ml and a higher one for drinks with more than 8g per 100ml. Ministers hope the move will help tackle the nation's obesity problem. A spokesman for the company said: "Irn Bru will still be made with sugar. We are not removing all the sugar, but we are reducing the amount. "Having worked on this for some time, we are carefully blending and balancing a mix of sugar, sweeteners and our original and best flavour essence to deliver the great taste of Irn Bru but with less sugar. "We're doing this because evidence shows that most consumers want to reduce their sugar intake while still enjoying great tasting drinks. "86% of consumers are concerned about the amount of sugar in food and drink that they consume. "That said, we have taken the soft drinks sugar tax thresholds into account when determining the levels of sugar reduction, but never compromising on taste." In the past year, the company has introduced two new drinks - Irn Bru Xtra and Rubicon Spring - both of which contain no added sugar. Chief executive Roger White said: "Evidence shows that consumers want to reduce their sugar intake while still enjoying great tasting drinks. "We've responded by significantly reducing sugar across our portfolio in recent years, through reformulation and innovation. "Today's announcement builds on this progress and we are now expanding our successful sugar reduction plans to include our iconic Irn Bru brand." He added: "We will continue to respond to our consumers and adapt to their changing preferences, offering great tasting products that are right for this generation of consumers and the next."

AG Barr is to halve the amount of sugar in its leading Irn Bru brand, ahead of a government crackdown on the fizzy drinks industry.

Complaints have been made across the UK about the fad, which sees people dress up in order to frighten passers-by. Dyfed-Powys Police received about 30 reports over the weekend and North Wales Police said it was aware of incidents. Gwent Police had 18 reports, including clowns "peering through windows". South Wales Police put out a warning at the weekend after receiving complaints about people dressed as clowns "frightening others intentionally". Chf Insp Paul Staniforth of Gwent Police said: "Some of the reports have included, clowns running through gardens and peering through windows, lurking around shopping centres, parks and schools and jumping from trees. "Fortunately, to date, we've had no reports of anyone being harmed during these reports." He said people could be arrested for a public order offence - causing harassment, alarm or distress. The culprits are said to be following a trend that started in the US. Sgt Rhys Williams of Dyfed-Powys Police said while dressing up was not a criminal offence, "deliberately scaring someone, causing harassment, alarm or distress could lead to arrest". Officers were looking into some of the reports, but no arrests have been made. Sgt Williams added: "Please be mindful that what seems like a bit of fun to you, could not be seen the same way by those on the receiving end of this prank. "There is also the possibility that you could attempt to scare the wrong person and they could retaliate. "Anyone who commits a criminal offence should be aware that dressing as a clown does not make them exempt from being investigated and dealt with through the Criminal Justice System." North Wales Police said officers were aware of incidents, but no offences had been reported.

Sightings of "creepy clowns" have been reported across Wales, with police warning people they could be arrested for scaring others.

Two leading groups, Jaysh al-Islam and Ahrar al-Sham, which formed a pact last year, both say the plane was shot down. Syrian state media said the crash was caused by a technical fault. Jaysh al-Islam, the larger of the two groups, posted footage online which it claimed showed the pilot being held after ejecting from the jet. The video, bearing Jaysh al-Islam's logo, showed an object engulfed in flames followed by an interview with the supposed pilot. The man gave his name as Nawras Hassan, as well as his date of birth and hometown. He said he was based in Dumair air base and that he had been a pilot for 16 years. A later image posted by the group appeared to show the pilot dead. Jaysh al-Islam said in a statement that the pilot was captured by the Joint Operations Room - the name adopted by a collection of rebel groups in the region including Jaysh al-Islam, Ahrar al-Sham, and Jabhat al-Nusra. Jaysh al-Islam said the pilot was captured by militants from the al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra, who were supposed to hand him over but killed him instead. Neither the claims nor the footage have been independently verified. More than 280,000 have been killed and millions displaced by Syria's five-year conflict, according to UN estimates.

Syrian rebels say they shot down a Syrian air force jet and blamed an al-Qaeda-linked group for killing the pilot.

Last year's champions led 17-10 at half-time with Noel Reid and Jack Conan scoring either side of Hamish Watson's impressive try for Edinburgh. Zane Kirchner extended Leinster's lead before Tim Visser's score and Sam Hidalgo-Clyne kicked the hosts ahead. But tries from Jordi Murphy and Luke McGrath, allied with solid Ian Madigan kicking, meant the Irishmen prevailed. Leinster end their campaign fifth, seven points shy of the semi-final places. Edinburgh finish eighth for the second consecutive season under head coach Alan Solomons, but with a total of 48 points this campaign compared to 38 last year. Add to that a European Challenge Cup final - albeit a defeat to Gloucester - and it seems the South African is making gradual progress at Murrayfield, where he recently signed a new 12-month contract. Hidalgo-Clyne's early penalty set Edinburgh off on the right foot but the visitors soon established a lead they would hold onto for the most of the match. A nice line-out collection by Leinster flanker Murphy presented Madigan with a drop-goal opportunity that the fly-half duly took. Madigan then combined well with Sean O'Brien to release Reid through the middle; the 24-year-old centre outpacing Edinburgh full-back Jack Cuthbert to cross between the posts. The conversion was added by the boot of Madigan but Edinburgh ensured the Irishman did not go out of sight. After Dougie Fife's claim for a try in the corner was ruled out, Watson found himself in possession from the line-out and gambled with a darting run to the line instead of spreading the play left were the hosts had numbers waiting. Watson, who won his first Scotland cap in this year's Six Nations, managed to get behind the posts and Hidalgo-Clyne converted. However, Leinster were quick to put on another display of quick hands and fast offloads in the middle to double their try count. This time Dave Kearney and Madigan gave substitute Conan the opportunity to split Edinburgh's defence with a piercing run and try, with Madigan again adding another two points. Hidalgo-Clyne heartened the hosts at the start of the second half with another penalty before Springbok winger Kirchner crossed on the right-hand side for Leinster, although there was no conversion on this occasion to compliment it. The Murrayfield men's resolve still existed and a fitting try for the Harlequins-bound Visser, who wrestled free to touch down, gave Edinburgh's record try scorer a final moment to remember in red and black. Hidalgo-Clyne's conversion and subsequent penalty put Edinburgh ahead for a few dreamy moments as thoughts of seventh place and a European play-off became a reality once more, but it was too much to ask of an injury-depleted side. Murphy and McGrath both ended a period of stout home defending to cross over late on and Madigan added the extras each time. Edinburgh: Cuthbert, Fife, Beard, Strauss, T. Visser, Heathcote, Hidalgo-Clyne, Dickinson, Ford, Andress, Bresler, Toolis, McKenzie, Watson, Du Preez. Replacements: Brown for Beard (59), Fowles for Hidalgo-Clyne (78), Sutherland for Dickinson (76), Cochrane for Ford (63), Berghan for Andress (38), Atkins for Bresler (57), Hilterbrand for McKenzie (73).

Edinburgh's flickering hopes of staying in European Champions Cup contention were extinguished by Leinster.

The 27-year-old utility back moved from the Irish province to Welford Road in 2011 and scored 18 tries in 75 appearances for the Tigers. Morris missed all of last season because of a serious foot injury. "He brings experience to our back three, an area that's very competitive, and we look forward to seeing him play," said Leinster coach Leo Cullen. "Niall was unlucky with injuries in his last season in England but has performed at a very high level for the Tigers in both the Premiership and in the Champions Cup." The Dubliner, who has represented Ireland U20s and Emerging Ireland, scored the opening try as Leicester defeated Northampton in the 2012-2013 Premiership final at Twickenham. "After five enjoyable years in England, I am delighted to return to my home province Leinster," said Morris, who extended his deal with Tigers in 2012. "I know the club well and it has fantastic players, staff and supporters. It is one of the biggest clubs in Europe and I am very much looking forward to being part of such a great set-up again."

Niall Morris has returned to Leinster on a short-term deal after his release from Leicester Tigers.

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year will be named during a live awards show on Sunday, 14 December 2014 (BBC One & BBC One HD). Voting details and criteria are below. An expert panel (hereafter 'the Panel') will be convened in November 2014 in London to decide the shortlist for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. The BBC Sports Personality of the Year production team will provide the Panel with a list of the top 50 or more sportspeople from 2014, including information on their achievements.

BBC SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR 2014, SSE Hydro, Glasgow, Sunday 14 December.

On 26 October 1914 Alice Parr arrived at the government's imposing War Office in London, seeking answers about her missing teenage son. Seventeen-year-old Private John Parr had last been seen in August, on the eve of the Battle of Mons. He had been sent to search for two missing platoons and his anxious mother feared the worst when she made her way to Whitehall. "The youngest, the baby," says Iris Hunt, one of Alice's great nieces. "She must've been desperate." As a quarter of a million other boys would go on to do, 14-year-old John had lied about his age to join the Army in 1912. The Parrs shared their small terraced house in Barnet, north London, with another family - overcrowded conditions the youngest brother left behind. He was five years below the legal age at which he could be sent overseas to fight. "He was probably looking for proper clothes and decent meals," according to policeman turned local historian Michael Crick, who has followed Private Parr's paper trail. The brown-haired, brown-eyed boy was working as a caddie at his local golf course when he signed up. "He was looking for adventure and something to do with his life," great-niece Iris says. His life - like more than 700,000 others from the British Isles after him - was cut short on continental Europe. But unlike those whose bodies were never found and who have no headstone, Private Parr entered history as the first of his comrades to die fighting Germany. He would miss the horrors of the trenches, poison gas and mechanised warfare - shot and killed shortly after his 17th birthday. "He's almost an iconic symbol of that first contact of the British Army with that massive German juggernaut crashing through Belgium on its way into France," says military historian Jon Cooksey. There are no known photographs of the 5ft 3in teenager from the north London suburbs, described by his superiors as "clean, sober and intelligent" but "inclined to be insubordinate". After joining his local regiment, the Middlesex, he became a reconnaissance cyclist, trained to ride ahead to retrieve information quickly for commanding officers. When war broke out he and 1,100 other men in his battalion were shipped from Southampton to Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France as the German army was advancing into Belgium. The first major engagement of German and British troops in Europe came at the Battle of Mons on 23 August 1914 and there are conflicting reports of when exactly John went missing around this time. As far as the military was concerned, he was still with his regiment almost half a year later. "According to the records here, the man is still serving with his battalion," an official at the Infantry Records Office wrote on 27 January 1915. Amid the administrative chaos at the start of the war, John's worried mother seems to have known more than those in charge. "I've not heard from him at all and the War Office can tell me nothing," she wrote to the official, underlining the word "nothing". "I have heard from Berlin," she went on. "The address is from a prisoner of war - one of my son's chums - to say that my son was shot down at Mons." And this is where the mystery of Pte Parr's death begins. It has long been thought that he came across German cavalry after heading off on his bike on a reconnaissance mission from where his unit was based near Bettignies - a French village on the border with Belgium - before the August battle. Almost 70 years later, the curator of Pte Parr's local regimental museum recalled L/Cpl W Beart, one of the soldier's fellow cyclists, saying that, on 21 August 1914, the men had caught a "glimpse of Uhlans" - a German regiment. L/Cpl W Beart made it back but the comrade he called "Old Parr" was never seen again. Was one of the Uhlan soldiers responsible for the death of "Old Parr"? The shooting was apparently witnessed by an eight-year-old Belgian girl. Andy Robertshaw, a historian who traced the girl as an elderly woman, says she remembered Private Parr waving his comrade away when the two men were shot at. "Parr was in a ditch, shooting down her road to the east to give his mate time to get back to base," he says. The first British soldier died, the woman said, after a German soldier ran through her garden to shoot him. But on that night, according to Jon Cooksey, there is no way the men could have encountered any enemy soldiers. "Looking at all the documents," he says, "it's more likely he was killed on the 23rd at the Battle of Mons." He adds that John Parr's burial by the Germans in St Symphorien Cemetery, "just three miles from where his battalion fought that day", backs this up. Given the battle claimed some 1,600 British casualties, this raises the prospect that Private Parr may not have been the first to fall. Jon Cooksey has studied troop movements and war diaries on both sides. He says if Pte Parr was killed on the date on his headstone, it must either have been by a trigger-happy Belgian "terrified of the German hordes", so-called friendly fire from a French cavalry patrol or, worse, from his own side. "The point where he is supposed to have been killed couldn't by any stretch of the imagination have been correct," the author and broadcaster says. On 21 August, according to the battalion war diary, John Parr's regiment was 11 miles south of the position it would take up to fight at Mons - German units did not cross the Mons-Conde Canal until the afternoon of 23 August. There is no mention in any of the brigade or divisional diaries of any contact with the enemy, Jon Cooksey says. Nor is there any record of contact with the British in the Germans diaries. "And what a coup that would have been for that German soldier," he adds. "No such record exists." Andy Robertshaw acknowledges it could actually have been a Belgian who unwittingly fired the shot that killed Pte Parr. "If you're a Belgian, you've never seen a British soldier before," he explains. The first contact the Germans and British report is on 22 August 1914, just after dawn, when cavalry patrols from the two sides meet. And this, according to Jon Cooksey, is still another two miles north of where Pte Parr is supposed to have been killed. Back in London, it is now January 1915 and a fraught Alice Parr has heard nothing from those running the war. She received a letter from the captain of John's regiment. "He informed [me] that my son Private John Parr has been missing from the regiment since August the 23rd 1914 and has not been heard of since," she wrote again to the records office. "I should be very grateful for any information as to his whereabouts." There is nothing to indicate when Alice or her family were finally told John Parr would not be coming home. "They didn't get any closure at all," says ex-policeman turned local historian Michael Crick. "And even when they did learn months later that he was killed, they were never able to find out the circumstances." Official records refer to the "late" Private Parr almost a year after his death, on 19 August 1915 but shed no light on what actually happened to him. "In truth, the mystery is probably never going to be solved," Jon Cooksey says.

A ceremony is being held at the WW1 grave of Private John Parr - a teenager thought to have been the first British soldier killed in action in Europe - but 100 years on mystery still surrounds how he died and who killed him.

Team Sky's Gianni Moscon is facing disciplinary action from Team Sky after it emerged he used racially abusive language towards FDJ's Kevin Reza at the end of Friday's stage three. Italian Moscon apologised and rode in Sunday's final stage. "Any complaint will be investigated," the UCI told BBC Sport. Team Sky chose not to withdraw Moscon from the race following discussions with FDJ. Moscon has apologised to Frenchman Reza and his team-mates but the British team will consider what action to take after establishing all of the facts of the incident.

Cycling's governing body has warned that any rider found guilty of racism will be sanctioned after an incident during the Tour de Romandie.

Simone Sorensen scored the crucial spot-kick after Austria missed their first three penalties. The Austrians will rue wasting the best chance of the match when Sarah Puntigam fired over a first-half penalty. Denmark also went close in normal time through Sanne Troelsgaard, whose strike came off the crossbar. The Danes will face the hosts in the final after their 3-0 win over England in the second semi-final. It was a tight and tense semi-final between Denmark, the two-time semi-finalists, and tournament debutants Austria. Denmark, beaten at the last-four stage four years ago, were second best to the unfancied Austrian side during the first 45 minutes. Dominik Thalhammer's side should have taken the lead when they were awarded a penalty in the 13th minute. Maja Kildemoes was the unlucky Dane when she was judged to have intentionally moved her arm to block Verena Aschauer's effort. Freiburg midfielder Puntigam stepped up, but blazed her penalty over the bar. Denmark's best effort of the opening half fell to Rosengard's Troelsgaard, whose angled left-foot strike struck the bar. It was not until extra-time that either goal was seriously threatened again. First, Katrine Veje's effort cleared the Austria bar with a strike from eight yards. And then Pernille Harder, arguably the player of the match, headed over in the final few seconds before the spot-kicks.

David Thomas, 50, and his son Stephen, 17, from Swindon were among those who died. Stephen's mother Julie was rescued from the Leviathan ll. Nigel Hooker, 63, from Southampton, Salford-born Jack Slater, 76, who had lived in Canada for many years and Katie Taylor, 29, also died. Canadian government investigators are looking into the cause of the accident. All five of the victims were on the open, upper deck of the boat, but were not wearing life jackets, regional coroner Matt Brown told a news conference. The other passengers were all in an enclosed part of the boat. Officials have said more of the 27 people on board could have died had it not been for the "amazing response" from locals around Tofino. A 27-year-old Australian man from Sydney is still missing after the accident on Sunday afternoon. The Down's Syndrome Association described Stephen Thomas as "a very talented young man and a gifted photographer". Chief executive Carol Boys said: "We were all delighted when Stephen's beautiful image 'Moraine Lake' won the national 'My Perspective' photographic competition last year." She added that David Thomas was one of the driving forces behind the Swindon Down's Syndrome Group where he was a trustee. Isambard Community School in Swindon also paid tribute to former pupil Stephen. Headteacher Sue Banks said he was "always a positive role model for others - he never used the term 'I can't' and was constantly smiling". She said he had a love for art and his work was regularly exhibited in the school and sold at the annual art show. David Thomas worked for Microsoft. A statement from the company said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear the news. Michel Van der Bel, Microsoft UK general manager, said: "Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with their family, friends and David's colleagues and we will be doing everything we can to support them." Mr Slater's family said he was a retired navy engineer from Toronto, who had lived in Canada for over 30 years and had three daughters. He was on the boat with his wife, Marjorie, who is being treated in hospital. His daughter Michele Slater Brown wrote on Facebook he was "larger than life, a charmer, handsome, entrepreneur, engineer in the Navy... he was our dad, our lovely dad, I will miss him forever but I'm grateful for all the times I spent with him, I love you dad." Ms Taylor was also a British ex-pat living in the ski resort of Whistler. Corene Inouye, director of operations at Jamie's Whaling Station and Adventure Centre, the company that owns the boat, said: "It appears the incident happened so quickly that the crew didn't have an opportunity to send out a Mayday." She added the skipper of the ship has more than 20 years' whale-watching experience and had completed 18 years with the company. Company owner Jamie Bray said passengers on the boat were not required to wear life jackets as it has enclosed compartments, which would be difficult to exit in the event of a sinking. Another whale-watching boat operated by the same company capsized in 1998, killing two people, including the boat operator and a tourist from Germany. Greg Louie, chief councillor of the Ahousaht First Nation Elected Council, told the BBC's Radio 4 Today programme that "possibly everyone" could have drowned or died of hypothermia had the local community not responded to the accident so quickly. The incident could have been "a lot worse", Lt Cmdr Desmond James of the Canadian Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in British Columbia said. He added that 21 people would not have been rescued were it not for the "amazing response" by locals. Australian Associated Press reported the missing 27-year-old Sydney man was on the boat with his girlfriend and her family when it sank. British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said his thoughts were with the family and friends of those affected by Sunday's incident. Canadian prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau said he was "shocked and saddened" by the deaths.

The five Britons who died when a whale-watching boat sank off the coast of western Canada have been named.

The National League sold the Republic of Ireland midfielder to the Cherries for £175,000 in 2012 and had a 15% sell-on clause included in the deal. O'Kane moved for an undisclosed fee, but Nicholson says any money will go to help the cash-strapped club. "I don't think I'll be getting anything," Nicholson told BBC Devon. "There's more important things." The Gulls are still looking for new owners having been taken over by a consortium of local business people last summer. They were forced to close down the club's academy and drastically reduce the playing budget after millionaire former owner Thea Bristow left the club.

Torquay United boss Kevin Nicholson says none of the money from Eunan O'Kane's move to Leeds from Bournemouth will go to the playing squad.

The 29-year-old, who plays on the right side of midfield, joins Carrick from Mid Ulster League side Crewe United. In addition to his stint at Crusaders, McAllister has also had spells with other Irish League clubs Ards, Ballymena United and Donegal Celtic. McAllister is Carrick's eighth signing during the current transfer window with Aaron Smyth and Kyle McVey already among the arrivals. Carrick face Ballinamallard United in the Irish Premiership on Friday night after taking just two points from their last six games.

Carrick Rangers have signed former Crusaders midfield Eamon McAllister.

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

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

Davis has made 14 appearances for the Cod Army since joining on loan in October, and recently agreed to extend his stay until the end of the season. The 22-year-old signed for Leicester from Port Vale in 2014, but did not feature for the first team. "I'm delighted that it's all been done now and I can concentrate on my football," he told the club website. "I stated from the start that I'd be really interested in staying with the club, and I'm just over the moon to be here now." The length of Davis' deal with Fleetwood has not been disclosed.

League One side Fleetwood Town have signed defender Joe Davis from Leicester City for an undisclosed fee.

They're also increasingly participating in a war of words over illegal immigration and how the candidates could best address the more than 11 million undocumented workers currently living in the US. Mr Cruz initiated the fight on Thursday, attacking Mr Rubio by name for his bipartisan work in the Senate to pass immigration reform in 2013. He said the Florida Senator - and other members of the "Gang of Eight" leading reform - backed legalisation that would give a pathway to citizenship for undocumented workers and blocked his attempts to offer amendments to strengthen border protection. "Talk is cheap," Mr Cruz said. "You know where someone is based on their actions." By scheduling happenstance, Mr Rubio and Mr Cruz were the first two speakers on Friday at the Sunshine Summit presidential forum in Orlando, Florida. They offered a distinct contrast in styles. Mr Rubio, a gifted politician, offered a polished set-piece, delivered from behind a lectern - compelling but traditional. In contrast, Mr Cruz paced the stage with a wireless microphone. He waved his arms as he spoke and encouraged audience interaction. His appearance was more akin to a religious tent revival. During a news conference after his speech, Mr Rubio was asked early and often about his record on immigration and Mr Cruz's criticism. He fired back that he was "puzzled and surprised" by Mr Cruz's words, since the Texas senator was on record supporting a legal status for undocumented workers as well and that their positions aren't "dramatically different". "Everyone running for president on the Republican side in one way or another supports legalisation of some people who are here illegally," he said. Earlier in the day, Mr Cruz had told a radio interviewer that attempts by Mr Rubio to draw comparisons between their immigration views make him "laugh out loud". While he supported some legal status, his objection was to Mr Rubio's support for eventual citizenship for those who had entered the country illegally. "That's like Obama saying my position is the same as his on Obamacare," Mr Cruz said. "That's like the Ayatollah Khamenei saying my position is the same as his on the Iranian nuclear deal. It is laughingly, blazingly, on-its-face false." At a rally in an evangelical church later on Friday, Mr Cruz announced an immigration plan that would cap legal immigration and end automatic citizenship for those born on US soil. He also took another not-so-veiled swipe at Mr Rubio, saying that those who supported the 2013 immigration reform effort - "including some Republicans" - were opting for the "Washington cartel" over "hardworking American men and women". The two candidates are increasingly being viewed by pundits and Washington insiders as leading candidates to be the last two men standing when the Republican field eventually narrows. Such a theory is predicated on outsider candidates like Ben Carson and Donald Trump eventually fading, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush's campaign continuing to flounder and the other cast of candidates unable to gain traction. If this turns out to be the case, then the fight between Mr Cruz and Mr Rubio over controlling illegal immigration - a topic that stirs passionate feelings among many Republican voters - isn't just a rhetorical November sideshow, it could help define how the Republican race plays out in the coming months.

Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas are both US senators, they're both the children of Cuban immigrants, they're both running for president, and they are both surging in the polls thanks to strong performances in Republican candidate debates.

The final table based on all of his predictions is at the bottom of this page. In Lawro's league table, Chelsea and Liverpool finished joint champions and, overall, he has seven teams out of 20 in their correct positions going into the final round of fixtures. Lawro has been pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season and his opponent for the final round of fixtures is drummer Ben Thatcher from rock band Royal Blood. Thatcher is a Brighton fan who is looking forward to seeing his side in the top flight next season after their promotion from the Championship. "If you look at where the club was 20 years ago, getting to the Premier League is an amazing achievement," he told BBC Sport. "It is going to be a great season. "It will be all about staying up and, with the right signings, it can happen. We might even do a Leicester and win the title - who knows?" Media playback is not supported on this device The Seagulls held their promotion parade last week after returning to the top flight for the first time since 1983. "It was a day that the club will always remember," Thatcher said. "I won't remember it as well as most people because I got off a plane and went straight down to the seafront and partied hard. "But it was great to see how excited the whole city was that we had been promoted - it has pulled everyone together and we are all supporting our club." A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.

All kick-offs 15:00 BST Arsenal v Everton It appears Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is going to stay on for another year or two and, if that is the case, I am not sure why they have kept it such a big secret. So, it does not look like this will be Wenger's final game at the Emirates Stadium, but it could be Alexis Sanchez's - the future of the Gunners striker is still in doubt. Arsenal have got next week's FA Cup final to think about but I don't think that will affect the result, because they can still finish in the top four and they have to go for the win in case Manchester City or Liverpool slip up. Everton will finish seventh whatever happens and they will make a game of it, but the Gunners are on a good run and I think they will come out on top. However, even if Arsenal do win, I think it will be too little, too late for Wenger's side as far as making the Champions League places goes - I think Liverpool and City will both win. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Royal Blood's prediction: This is going to be a great game - Alexis Sanchez is going to put Arsenal ahead and Everton will bring it back in the 70th minute. 1-1 Burnley v West Ham Other than their win over Tottenham, West Ham's season has tailed off in the last few weeks. Yes, the Hammers are missing some injured players but they have been very average for a while. When their fans look at this season, it is their new stadium and their summer recruitment that have been the bugbears for them. For a while it looked like Slaven Bilic's side were going to get dragged into a relegation skirmish but they are going to get a mid-table finish, which is probably what they deserve. Media playback is not supported on this device West Ham are not a bad side when everyone is fit but, if they want a repeat of their seventh-place finish in 2015-16, they definitely need to sign some better players. Burnley's target this season was to stay up and they have done it. It is mission accomplished and they can build again, which is great. Their home form has been the key and I think it helped that they got an 'extra' match at Turf Moor early in the season - the venue of their game with Liverpool in August was switched because Anfield was not ready. They won that game which not only gave them points on the board but it also set the tone for the rest of the campaign. They have never really been under much pressure. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Royal Blood's prediction: 1-2 Chelsea v Sunderland Chelsea will get their hands on the Premier League trophy at the final whistle and and will want to sign off with a win but I am not sure what sort of team Antonio Conte will pick before the FA Cup final. He made lots of changes for Monday's win over Watford but will have to be careful about doing the same for this game. If, say, striker Diego Costa does not play then he will go two weeks without playing before facing Arsenal at Wembley and it is easy for players to lose their edge. Media playback is not supported on this device Whatever team Conte picks, I don't think Sunderland will be able to stop the Blues from finishing their title-winning campaign on a high note. There are more questions than answers about what will happen next at the Black Cats, and the only thing we really know is that they will be in the Championship next season. Lawro's prediction: 3-0 Royal Blood's prediction: This is top versus bottom but I wonder who will play for Chelsea? I hope they give some young players a chance, and I think they will win anyway. 3-0 Hull City v Tottenham Hull were relegated after losing to Crystal Palace last week but it was their home defeat against Sunderland in their previous game that really did the damage. Tottenham said goodbye to White Hart Lane with a deserved win over Manchester United and they will want to finish the season strongly despite missing out on the title. People will say they did not win anything but Spurs are a very good side who came close to winning the title - they did not bottle it one bit. Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is doing a great job and the rest of the top six would take a lot of their players if they could - that is how good they are. Analysis: I'd back Spurs for the title if they were staying at White Hart Lane - Jenas Lawro's prediction: 0-2 Royal Blood's prediction: 0-2 Leicester v Bournemouth Bournemouth have already bettered their points tally from last season, despite having a slippery month or two at the start of 2017. Joshua King has been brilliant since Callum Wilson was injured at the start of February and the Norwegian striker has made astonishing progress as a player since I saw him when he came on loan to Preston in 2010. Media playback is not supported on this device The Cherries are already in the top 10 and, if they can become a little bit meaner defensively, then they can continue their progress next season. Leicester will go above them - and into the top half - with a win, however, and that is what I think will happen. I do not understand why the Foxes have not revealed yet whether Craig Shakespeare will stay on as manager, but he deserves to keep the job because he turned their season around. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Royal Blood's prediction: 2-2 Liverpool v Middlesbrough A win for Liverpool will secure a top-four finish and surely even they cannot slip up this time. It is all very well saying because Middlesbrough are down already, the pressure is off them and they can go to Anfield and play their football - well, I have not seen Boro play any for the past 37 games. Media playback is not supported on this device One big effort from Liverpool will get them over the line, and there will be a good atmosphere which will help. It is a big game and if they are not revved up and they cannot beat Boro, then they do not deserve to be in the Champions League. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Royal Blood's prediction: 3-1 Man Utd v Crystal Palace Crystal Palace are safe from relegation and in normal circumstances I would be expecting an open game on the final day of the season. But I have no idea what sort of team either manager will put out, so it is very difficult to predict the outcome. Jose Mourinho will make lots of changes before Wednesday's Europa League final, but he has such a big squad that it could still be a strong Manchester United side, if he wants it to be. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 Royal Blood's prediction: United have not had a great season and might rest a few but I think they are going to win this one. 2-1 Southampton v Stoke Southampton are guaranteed a top-half finish and can make sure of a top-eight finish with a win, which underlines that they have had another very good season. Stoke's form has been heading in a downhill direction for a while now but the nature of the last day of the season always throws up some unexpected results, and I think this game will provide one of them. Lawro's prediction: 1-2 Royal Blood's prediction: 2-0 Swansea v West Brom This could have been a very tense affair but the pressure is off Swansea after they secured their survival last weekend, and instead it will be party time for them. I was at West Brom's defeat at Manchester City on Tuesday and they will not change - Tony Pulis will set them up to try to make life difficult for the opposition. Again, this game is hard to predict because there is nothing really riding on it but I think Paul Clement will have three points to celebrate, as well as staying up. Lawro's prediction: 2-1 Royal Blood's prediction: 1-1 Watford v Man City I had been wondering for a while what was going to happen to Watford boss Walter Mazzarri, and it was no surprise when it was announced this week that he will be leaving. I think the Hornets will play well in his farewell game but I still think Manchester City will get the win they need to secure third place. City are playing well and I thought Vincent Kompany looked great at the back when I watched him against West Brom at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. An open game would definitely suit Pep Guardiola's side and surely Watford will not sit in, because what would be the point of that? Lawro's prediction: 0-3 Royal Blood's prediction: City are going to destroy them. 1-4 Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. Lawro's best score: 140 points (week 22 v James McAvoy) Lawro's worst score: 30 points (week four v Dave Bautista) From last weekend's Premier League matches, Lawro got six correct results, including two perfect scores, from 10 matches, for a total of 120 points. He beat world tennis number one Andy Murray, who also got six correct results but with one perfect scores for a tally of 90 points. Lawro also picked up 40 more points for correctly predicting the outcome of the four midweek fixtures, with more to come depending on Leicester v Tottenham on Thursday.

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson has made a prediction for all 380 Premier League games this season.

The assessments should indicate whether chemical weapons were used and if so the agent involved. The work could also reveal whether the weapons systems were improvised or designed for military use. The analysis being carried out by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons under the auspices of the United Nations. Neither the UN nor the OPCW will comment on details of the investigation. But BBC News has spoken to a former senior employee of the OPCW, who has given his assessment of the likely details and timetable of the testing process. Dr Ralf Trapp said that samples from Syria gathered by inspectors had arrived at the OPCW central laboratory on Saturday and would be arriving at "designated laboratories" across the world around now for analysis. The results will form part of a report by the OPCW due to be published by the UN on the alleged attack. He told BBC News that the report would take between seven to 10 days to complete at the earliest. The report should contain strong scientific evidence to help establish whether chemical weapons were involved in the alleged attack last in the agricultural belt Ghouta around the Syrian capital Damascus. It could also possibly indicate the type of delivery systems to have been used, according to Dr Trapp. "There may be details of the concentrations of the agent used and whether these weapons were improvised or designed for a military context," he said. The purpose of the UN/OPCW report is to establish the facts of what happened rather than find the culprit. However, according to Dr Trapp, these facts should give an indication of the source. It will also help answer why, in his opinion, many of the victims did not display the typical symptoms of sarin exposure, such as the narrowing of pupils (known as pinball eyes) and shaking, in video clips uploaded shortly after the alleged attack. "I'm pretty sure it was a chemical attack, but I'm not 100% sure it was sarin, or sarin of bad quality, another agent, or a mixture of things. All these things make sense in the context of what we have seen (in the videos)," he explained. Last week OPCW and UN investigators were gathering soil, blood, urine and hair from the alleged victims of the attack and tissue samples from corpses. They have also been wiping possible chemical residues from the inside of shell fragments. There had been concern that few, if any, traces of nerve agent would be detected following the two days it took for UN inspectors to arrive at the site of the alleged attack. But according to Dr Trapp, evidence of these agents would remain for many weeks. The samples have been tagged, photographed and transported to OPCW's central laboratory in sealed containers. The testing procedures involve numerous checks and cross checks to ensure that there is no mix up in the samples and the results are accurate. Each sample is sent to three separate laboratories that the organisation has inspected and deemed competent to carry out the testing on its behalf. If there are many samples to analyse, they are sent to other laboratories. Individual labs conduct their own independent tests of the material. For each sample from the site of the alleged attack, a given laboratory receives two dummy samples; one containing no nerve agent and another containing a specified amount of a nerve agent or its breakdown product. The lab is not told which sample is which, enabling the OPCW to ensure that each lab does its job properly. In addition, a lab has to test each sample using two completely different methods - and then, as a triple check to verify the accuracy of the instruments they are using, manufacture the agent it thinks it has detected and run the test again to see if they obtain the same result. This painstaking process will take the scientists several days to complete, after which the lead investigator will have to write up a report which is then sent back to the OPCW. These results are combined with interviews, assessments of medical reports by inspectors. The time all this will take depends on the number of samples that have to be analysed and the number of labs involved in the testing. Dr Trapp believes that mid to late next week will be the very earliest that the UN could receive the completed report although Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will be receiving regular updates in the interim. One of the testing sites on the OPCW's list of "designated laboratories" is the UK's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) at Porton Down in Wiltshire, which is internationally respected for its research capability in this area. The network of more than 20 laboratories also includes facilities in China, the US and France. The laboratories undertaking the work will have been selected by the OPCW's director-general Mr Ahmet Uzumcu, no doubt in consultation with Mr Ban. The list of institutions has not been revealed but there is speculation that laboratories in countries on the UN's Security Council are not involved. Follow Pallab on Twitter

Samples from the sites of alleged chemical attacks in Syria are arriving at laboratories for analysis.

The Scottish Premiership club have announced that the pair "have agreed the termination of their loan period at Rugby Park by mutual consent". Defender Waddington and goalkeeper Davies were two of 11 players signed on one day by Killie manager Lee Clark. Both made two appearances for the Scottish Premiership club. The 19-year-old Waddington made one start, against Greenock Morton in the Challenge Cup and a substitute appearance away to Hamilton Academical in the Premiership. Davies, who is two years older and was on his second loan spell at Rugby Park, played against Berwick Rangers and Albion Rovers in the Challenge Cup.

Stoke City's Mark Waddington and Swansea City's Oliver Davies have had their loan spells with Kilmarnock cut short and returned to their clubs.

Benjamin Hyland-Ward faces nine counts of fraud by false representation in connection with selling tickets. The 18-year-old, of Westfield Avenue South, Saltdean, East Sussex, is due to appear before Brighton Magistrates' Court on 24 March. Hundreds of people were left ticket-less after paying to go to the event last September. Sussex Police said the charges incorporated all of the reports of money being paid for but no tickets being given.

A teenager has been charged with selling fake tickets for last year's Bestival on the Isle of Wight.

The public vote, which is called a referendum, will happen on Thursday 23 June 2016. Here is Newsround's guide to what has been going on between the UK and the European Union. Back in 2013, British Prime Minister David Cameron promised that if his political party, the Conservatives, won the next general election, then he would let voters have their say on whether or not the UK should stay in or leave the European Union. Last year, they won the election so it's all systems go. A referendum is a vote in which all adults can take part, normally giving a "Yes" or "No" answer to a question. Whichever side gets more than half of the votes wins. The European Union, or EU, is a group of 28 countries in Europe whose governments work together. It began after World War Two with the idea that the best chance of stopping another war was by countries working more closely together. It's a bit like a club. To join you have to agree to follow the rules and in return you get certain benefits. Each country has to pay money to be a member, which they mostly do through taxes. The EU uses the money to change the way people live and do business in Europe. It has its own parliament, which is made up of politicians called Members of the European Parliament. They are elected by people who live in European Union countries. One of the main jobs of the parliament is to change, approve or reject laws that apply to all EU countries. 1957: Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Luxembourg 1973: Denmark, Ireland and the UK 1981: Greece 1986: Portugal and Spain 1995: Austria, Finland and Sweden 2004: Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Cyprus 2007: Bulgaria and Romania 2013: Croatia One major reason the European Union was set up is trade: to make it easier for countries to buy and sell things to each other. Certain rules to do with immigration have been relaxed too - so people from EU countries can move around more freely inside the Union. EU laws affect many areas of our lives - like how many hours we're allowed to work in a week, health and safety rules, and even how many fish we're allowed to catch. For the 40 years that the UK's been a member of the EU, there's been a debate about our role within it. Some feel being part of this bigger club makes the UK richer and more important. Others argue that the EU takes power away from Britain. They feel that people who aren't British shouldn't be making laws for this country. They also feel it costs Britain too much money. The question is always important in any referendum. The question for voters will be "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" There are many reasons, but a big one is that some people believe Britain is being held back by the EU, which they say forces too many rules on the UK. They also want Britain to limit the number of people coming here to work from other European countries. They believe Britain gets a big boost from being a member of European Union - it makes buying and selling things to other EU countries easier. They also believe Britain is stronger as part of a big club than on its own.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said people should be able to vote on whether the UK should be a member of the European Union (EU).

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

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

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

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

Bradley Lowery, from Blackhall Colliery near Hartlepool, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2013. More than £700,000 was raised to pay for treatment in the USA, including a donation of £200,000 from Everton. However, last week his mother Gemma revealed his cancer had grown and treatment would only give him more time. On Tuesday it was revealed that Bradley had been sent more than 11,000 Christmas cards from well-wishers. A campaign to encourage people to send him the cards had been organised by an Everton fan.

A five-year-old boy with terminal cancer has appeared as a mascot at the Sunderland v Chelsea game.

The girl was with her parents and a younger brother when she attended St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, at about 17:40 BST on Sunday. But the family left two hours later before the girl, who police believe is diabetic, could receive treatment. Police said the girl could fall into a coma if not treated immediately. A Scotland Yard statement said: "The girl was initially seen by medical staff and her parents informed them that their child's name was Mashael Aldosari. "Detectives are unsure if this is the child's real name as the family provided a false address to staff." The family told medical staff they travelled to the UK in order for their son to receive hospital treatment. Police said they have "established that this is may not be the case". Mashael is described as being less than 5ft tall with long straight black hair. She was last seen wearing a grey top, leggings and light-coloured shoes. Detectives believe the family could be from Kuwait.

Police are appealing for help locating a sick nine-year-old girl who went missing after being taken to hospital in need of urgent medical care.

Matthew Daley, 35, denies murder but admits attacking Donald Lock, 79, in Findon, near Worthing, last July, claiming diminished responsibility. Lewes Crown Court heard that rather than having Asperger's syndrome he had an underlying paranoid schizophrenic illness that was undiagnosed for years. Forensic psychiatrist Dr Roderick Ley made the assessment after the stabbing. Mr Lock, a retired solicitor, was stabbed after crashing at about 16mph into the back of Mr Daley's car on the A24 in West Sussex on 16 July. He was forced to brake suddenly after Mr Daley made an emergency stop. The great-grandfather, who had recently been given the all-clear from prostate cancer, died at the scene. The trial has heard how Mr Daley, formerly of St Elmo Road, Worthing, had been suffering from mental health problems for 10 years, and his family had "pleaded" with experts to section him. On Monday, Dr Ley told jurors: "It's clear that the diagnosis of Asperger's was wrong. "He has an underlying paranoid schizophrenic illness that was undiagnosed for many, many years." He said Mr Daley was not psychotic every moment of every day, and he would often "downplay" his symptoms. However, Dr Ley agreed that he exhibited "narcissistic", "histrionic" and "self-centred" traits, adding that it was unlikely he would ever have complete resolution of his illness. Another expert, consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Philip Joseph, said he was satisfied on all the evidence he had seen that Mr Daley was not psychotic at the time of the killing. Jurors also head from Mr Daley's father, who said his son had never been a violent person. John Daley described him as a "nice guy" who was affectionate to his family and animals. He said Mr Daley was "scrupulously honest in all his dealings with others, honest to a fault in that he finds it difficult to lie about things". He told the court that he first became worried about his son's mental health when he reported hearing voices. Mr Daley said he started a journal, partly to keep track of his son's treatment. "The second reason for having the document was, as time went on, it was clear that Matthew's life expectations were draining away and I didn't want to be in my 80s and look back saying, 'What did I do'?" The trial continues.

A man who stabbed a motorist 39 times after a crash was misdiagnosed with a form of autism, a court has been told.

North Wales Police claimed Owen Jones, 52, of Caernarfon, Gwynedd, was not fit to hold a firearms certificate after officers looked at his profile. Mr Jones, who had held a licence for more than 30 years, appealed against the decision and won. Caernarfon Crown Court heard on Friday that he was not a cause for concern despite the posts. The hearing was told a senior police officer regarded the posts as "highly offensive", prompting the licence to be revoked. Judge Niclas Parry said Mr Jones was ignorant about the subject of the Muslim faith, but added: "None of those messages were created by the appellant. "The appellant has liked certain messages that appeared on his Facebook profile. He has then effectively re-published the message."

A man who liked "highly offensive" Facebook messages about Islam had his shotgun licence revoked by police.

The 32-year-old joined the National League side following his release by the Cumbrians at the end of last season after a two-year spell. Sweeney, who is originally from Stockton-on-Tees, spent 13 years at Hartlepool, making 444 appearances. "It obviously was a factor," Sweeney said of the region's appeal. "I've got a young family at home, but it wasn't the be all and end all. I was quite happy to move away if needs be but luckily enough I didn't have to. "Everything fell into place here and I'm quite confident we'll have a decent season and it'll prove a good move." Sweeney was manager Neil Aspin's sixth addition this summer, which has now risen to 13 following the addition of left-back George Smith. Chairman Richard Bennett who along with wife Julie took over the club in May 2015, have targeted the Football League and maintained the club's full-time status. "It's always been a club - with me being from the North East - that I've looked out for on the results and followed," Sweeney added. "I sat down with them and he [Bennett] discussed the plans he wanted to do and they matched my own ambitions, which I've made no bones about. "I still feel I can contribute in league football and hopefully that will be with Gateshead." The Tynesiders began their pre-season training on Wednesday as they look to push for promotion to the English Football League for the first time in the club's history. Sweeney, who spent his entire career playing in the Football League, says success in non-league can be transfer to the higher tiers of the English football pyramid, as Crawley, Stevenage and Fleetwood Town have previously shown. "Its momentum, it's all about momentum", admitted Sweeney. "If you can get out of this league, I'm not sure there's a great deal of difference between League Two and the National League. "So if you've got that momentum and you go into that league, you can carry that on quite easily."

Gateshead midfielder Antony Sweeney is pleased to be returning to his native North East after leaving League Two side Carlisle United.

Microsoft paid more than $1bn for most of AOL's patents, beating rivals reported to have included Facebook. Facebook was sued by Yahoo for patent infringement earlier this year. The social networking site, which is preparing for a stock market listing, also reported a drop in its first quarter profits to $205m from $233m a year earlier. A Facebook lawyer described the deal as: "Another significant step in our ongoing process of building an intellectual property portfolio to protect Facebook's interests." Microsoft bought 925 patents and patent applications from AOL. It is now selling 650 of those patents to Facebook as well as licences to the other 275. "Today's agreement with Facebook enables us to recoup over half of our costs while achieving our goals from the AOL auction," said Microsoft's general counsel Brad Smith. There has been a series of recent patent deals between technology companies as they try to defend themselves in lawsuits. If a company successfully sues another it can demand a sales ban of its competitor's products, or force the loser to pay expensive licence fees. Since the start of the year, Intel, Google and Facebook are among those to have bought significant numbers of patents from other technology companies. Facebook bought a number of patents from IBM last month. Also on Monday, Facebook reported results for the first three months of the year. The company, which is expected to list on the stock market in the coming months, reported a drop in its net income between January and March to $205m from $233m in the same period last year. Revenues for the quarter came in at $1.06bn, down 6% from the final three months of 2011. Facebook said that its advertising business usually slows down in the first quarter but that the growth of the business in previous years had masked that trend. Facebook also revealed that it has agreed to pay $200m to Instagram if its recent $1bn deal to buy the photo-sharing firm were to fall through.

Facebook is paying Microsoft $550m (£341m) for some of the patents it recently bought from AOL.

Paul Charles Wilkins, 70, of Littleport, Cambridgeshire, travelled to California in January to "engage in illicit sexual conduct" with boys aged 10 and 12, US officials said. He initially denied four charges but later admitted transporting the images. Under a plea agreement he is expected to be sentenced to 13 years in January. He was jailed for 56 months in the UK in 2011 for possessing indecent images of children. More on this and other news from Cambridgeshire Wilkins, who holds dual UK and US citizenship, was on probation when he left the UK on 31 January. He set up an online site enabling him to arrange to meet boys, but was caught in a sting operation in Palm Springs, California, by undercover Homeland Security Department special agents. He had paid one agent $250 (£170) to have sex with a nine-year-old Mexican boy. Wilkins had initially denied four charges of travelling with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, attempted sex trafficking of children, transportation of child pornography and possession of child pornography, the US District Attorney's Office said. A trial date was set for November, however, at a hearing on Wednesday he pleaded guilty to transporting child pornography under a plea agreement with the US Attorney's Office. He agreed to a 13-year prison term and a lifetime of supervised release, the US Department of Homeland Security said. Wilkins also admitted in court to travelling to the US in order to have sex with two young brothers, paying to have sex with the nine-year-old, possessing pornography and bringing a computer into the US containing "graphic images of boys ranging in age from five to eight". US Attorney Eileen Decker, chief federal law enforcement officer in the Central District of California, described Wilkins as a "predator" and "extremely dangerous". The plea agreement meant he would "be in prison for well over a decade," she said. As part of the agreement the three other counts are expected to be dismissed when Wilkins is sentenced for the transportation charge. Wilkins was detained as part of Homeland Security's Operation Predator, an international initiative to protect children from sexual predators.

A convicted British sex offender caught trying to pay US undercover officers for sex with a boy has admitted taking pornographic images into the country.

Haseeb Hamayoon, 28, sent the image to friends and a co-accused branding the officer "kaffir" - non-believer - London's Woolwich Crown Court was told. Prosecutors say Mr Hamayoon, Yousaf Syed, 20, and Nadir Syed, 22, plotted an attack using a Rambo-style knife. The cousins deny all charges. The image, allegedly taken on 19 September 2014, shows the back of the officer and was apparently taken by someone in a car. Mr Hamayoon wrote: "Look at this kaffir. Hounslow parking lot." Nadir Syed wrote back: "How can you pray in such a place?" Mr Hamayoon replied: "You're right I'm walking out. This kaffir cop yeh. Looking inside every car who's in there. I gave him a dirty look." Mr Syed replied: "He's looking for u mate. Mi5 sent him to keep eye on y." The messages were exchanged on encrypted messaging service Telegram. Prosecutor Max Hill QC told the court: "You'll see on Mr Hamayoon's mobile phone two photos taken that show a police officer or PCSO walking away from the car and around a car park. "The photos are taken from the driver's seat of the car. Those images are created on the telephone. It's quite clear what Mr Hamayoon was writing messages about." Two days later, IS militants issued a "fatwa" calling on followers to attack Westerners. It implored them to: "Rig the roads with explosives for them. Attack their bases. Raid their homes. Cut off their heads." Prosecutors claim the trio plotted to carry out a terror attack in the UK. Mr Hamayoon and Nadir Syed, from Hounslow, west London and Yousaf Syed, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, filmed themselves stamping on a Remembrance Day poppy and were obsessed with the killing of Drummer Lee Rigby, it is claimed. The trial continues.

A supporter of so-called Islamic State photographed a police officer in a mosque car park before plotting to carry out a knife attack around Remembrance Sunday 2014, a court heard.

Ceredigion council plans to auction the site of former Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi in Llandysul, which closed last term, for development. The council cabinet meets on Tuesday to discuss the sale set for 30 September. But a new group, Plant y Dyffryn, wants more time to draw up a bid to buy it. The site has a price tag of between £250,000 and £300,000, with proceeds earmarked for the new-build Ysgol Bro Teifi school which opened this month providing education for three to 19-year-olds. Leah Williams, one of the founders of Plant y Dyffryn, said "any developer could come in and squeeze the community". She said: "Llandysul is so small and so Welsh it would just tip the balance. "There are eight acres of land on a large site with plenty of potential," she said. Plant y Dyffryn is looking at the example of the Cardigan community venture 4CG in order to raise funds to purchase the site, and then run it. It took over the Pwllhai site in the centre of Cardigan in 2010, and turned it into a car park to generate income from parking fees with buildings and workshops leased out to small businesses. A public meeting was held on Sunday when Llandysul residents voted to call on Ceredigion council to delay the process of selling the school site. In response, cabinet member Gareth Lloyd said that if the cabinet delayed the process of selling, then they would consider offering help to the community with their application.

A group has called on Ceredigion council to delay plans to sell-off a former school site so it can bid to buy and retain it for community use.

Media playback is not supported on this device Malan targeted South Africa's seamers, striking 12 fours and two sixes in a 44-ball knock as England posted 181-8. Chris Jordan took 3-31 and Tom Curran - in only his second game - 2-22 to restrict the Proteas in their chase. AB de Villiers made 39 and Mangaliso Mosehle 36 off 22 balls but South Africa could manage only 162-7. England, returning to the venue of their Champions Trophy semi-final defeat by Pakistan, put in a professional performance to wrap up the series. Middlesex left-hander Malan, 29, made the highest score by an England player on T20 debut, beating Paul Collingwood's 46 in England's maiden match in this format in 2005. England, whose next white-ball series is not until September against West Indies, begin a four-Test series against South Africa on 6 July. It was a polished performance from England's bowlers, using the short ball to discomfort South Africa, and they were backed up by some strong fielding. Hampshire leg-spinner Mason Crane, who played in the opening T20 at Southampton, was put under pressure as de Villiers struck him for consecutive sixes. However, the 20-year-old showed admirable confidence as he continued to toss the ball up and was rewarded when he drew an error out of the tourists' skipper, who slapped the ball to Alex Hales on the deep square leg boundary. Crane rounded off his spell with a superb over, conceding only two runs as England turned the screw. The Proteas were lacklustre. Of the top six, only De Villiers and opener JJ Smuts (29) reached double figures and it took some big hitting from wicketkeeper Mosehle to push their total up. England's seamers were excellent, with Curran in particular showing a maturity at the end of the innings as he bowled full and straight. The result means the visitors have won only two of their six limited-overs matches on this tour. England captain Eoin Morgan chose to rest himself for the match, a decision that initially drew criticism given this was a must-win game for England, but big-hitting Malan adapted quickly to international cricket. Arriving at the crease after Jason Roy fell for eight, Malan left his first delivery but pulled the second ferociously into the stands for six. On a pitch tinged with green, he took on the short ball against the seamers. He did not let up against a change of pace, nonchalantly flicking leg-spinner Imran Tahir over his shoulder to bring up his half-century from 31 deliveries. Malan and Hales, who was struggling to run after edging the ball on to his knee, put on 105 in 10.3 overs. When Malan finally fell, caught at long-on off Tahir, stand-in captain Jos Buttler struck two flat sixes to push England above 180. Media playback is not supported on this device The manner in which England went about such a calm and assured victory will be more heartening giving the changes they made to their side. As well as Morgan being rested, England gave Crane another opportunity, as well as Curran. For South Africa, it was a disappointing return, given how strong they were in the closing stages at Taunton. They were sloppy in the field to begin with. Andile Phehlukwayo's drop to reprieve Hales on 13 was so surprising the batsman had turned to walk back to the pavilion. South Africa will take some comfort in the performance of right-armer Paterson, who was twice on a hat-trick in the final overs thanks to his mixture of yorkers and slower balls. However, it was England who controlled the majority of the game. England stand-in captain Jos Buttler: "Dawid Malan was fantastic on debut. It is not easy to come in and show that much composure under pressure. On debut it was a fantastic effort. "Mason Crane, for a 20-year-old, has got great character. He was bowling at one of the best players that have ever played the game on a ground with a short boundary. "It was very tough on him but all credit for having the bravery and guts to keep going and get the wicket. I am sure he will remember it for a long time. "We have found some really great players. You find out a lot about players - international cricket is different and those guys have stepped up. Tom Curran was brilliant for his two games. "Taunton is not an easy place to make your debut and he took three wickets and two today. He looks a real find." South Africa captain AB de Villiers: "We were outplayed in both of these series. Well done to England and Eoin Morgan in the majority of the games, and Jos Buttler today, for leading them. "England put in an all-round better performance today. We were not far off but it was disappointing. "England do have some really good youngsters. They have good depth and all round are a really good team. "They seem to be going through a good patch and have a lot of talent. They have a bright five to 10 years ahead of them." On Mason Crane: "I was always going to go after him. Well done to him for sticking to his guns." Dawid Malan, who was named man of the match: "It is a fantastic experience to play for your country and to contribute in a win like that on debut is fantastic. "I thought this day might never come. I had a chat with Adam Voges, who played later for Australia. "I asked what he did and how he kept motivated when you keep getting overlooked for younger and younger players. He gave me some advice and fortunately I had a good Lions series and got picked when players were rested."

Dawid Malan hit an aggressive 78 on debut to help England beat South Africa by 19 runs and complete a Twenty20 series victory in Cardiff.

Roslyn Condie, of Mossdale, near Castle Douglas, admitted being the owner of a dog which was dangerously out of control last September. A court heard how her Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Nipper, bit the postman on the leg leaving a puncture wound. Sentence was deferred on Condie for six months. Dumfries Sheriff Court heard how the incident happened while the postman was delivering mail in the village of Mossdale. Local residents gave him first aid and he later had medical treatment for the bite. Fiscal depute Jennifer McGill said there was concern in the area over the dog which had on occasion escaped from the garden of its home. A solicitor for Condie said she had had the dog since it was a puppy and it was very affectionate. She now kept it muzzled when taken out and the garden fences had been made escape proof. Sheriff Brian Mohan handed out the warning that a second bite would bring destruction and deferred sentence on Condie stressing that she should keep the dog under control with appropriate measures.

A sheriff has warned the owner of a dog which bit a postman delivering the mail that her pet will be destroyed if it bites someone again.

The 50 planes around the world were grounded due to battery malfunctions that saw one 787 catch fire in the US. Over the past week teams of Boeing engineers have been fitting new batteries to the aircraft. This was after aviation authorities approved the revamped battery design. The Ethiopian Airlines plane took off at 09:45 local time (07:45 GMT) and landed in Nairobi, Kenya, some two hours later. Each 787 has two of the lithium-ion batteries which caused problems. In addition to new versions of the batteries which run at a much cooler temperature, the batteries are now enclosed in stainless steel boxes. These boxes have a ventilation pipe that goes directly to the outside of the plane. Boeing says this means than in the unlikely event of any future fire or smoke, it would not affect the rest of the aircraft. By Richard WestcottBBC transport correspondent, Nairobi Flight ETH 801 between Addis Ababa and Nairobi wasn't exactly a run-of-the-mill flight. For starters, it was full of Boeing executives and the boss of Ethiopian Airlines. Several passengers on board asked me what was going on, why was the BBC on a routine flight in Africa? Many didn't realise that they were the first passengers to fly in a Dreamliner since it was dramatically grounded in January. There were plenty who knew about the safety scare surrounding the plane, although only a couple that we spoke to said it had made them a little more tentative about flying. Boeing still has a huge job on its hands, convincing passengers that its most high-profile, most hi-tech airliner is safe. Two senior Boeing executives went out of their way this week to tell me that they'd happily put their family on the plane. It's the kind of quote that sounds good. Still, Boeing will be desperately hoping that its Dreamliner nightmare doesn't come back to haunt it. Boeing said it put 200,000 engineer hours into fixing the problem, with staff working round the clock. On Thursday, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a formal "air worthiness" directive allowing revamped 787s to fly. Japanese airlines, which have been the biggest customers for the new-generation aircraft, are expected to begin test flights on Sunday. A total of 300 Boeing engineers, pooled into 10 teams, have in the past week been fitting the new batteries and their containment systems around the world. Boeing is expected to complete repairs on all 50 of the grounded Dreamliners by the middle of May. In addition to the Dreamliners in service with airlines, Boeing has upgraded the 787s it has continued to make at its factory in Seattle since January. The Dreamliner entered service in 2011. Half of the plane is made from lightweight composite materials, making it more fuel efficient than other planes of the same size. The two lithium-ion batteries are not used when the 787 is in flight. They are operational when the plane is on the ground and its engines are not turned on, and are used to power the aircraft's brakes and lights.

An Ethiopian Airlines 787 Dreamliner has flown from Addis Ababa to Nairobi, the first commercial flight by the Boeing aircraft since all 787s were grounded in January.

The 42-year-old man was discovered in wetland at the Medmerry Nature Reserve, in Earnley, on Tuesday by Coastguards. Sussex Police said the incident, which took place in the Selsey area at about 17:00 GMT, was being treated as a "tragic accident". The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) and British Hang Gliding Association have been informed. A spokesman for Sussex Police said they believed the AAIB would be "leading on the investigation into the cause of the crash".

A hang gliding pilot has died in an accident at a nature reserve near Chichester in West Sussex.

A lawyer for the former Cleveland Browns quarterback told the Associated Press news agency that prosecutors had told him a charge was coming. A Texas grand jury has agreed a misdemeanour assault charge for family violence, the lawyer said. Colleen Crowley says he confronted her at a Dallas hotel and hit her as they drove back to Fort Worth. The Class A misdemeanour carries up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine. Lawyer Robert Hinton told AP the charge was expected on Tuesday and he expected a judge to set bail. Despite success playing football as a university student, Manziel - nicknamed "Johnny Football" - has struggled with substance abuse and personal issues in the professional league. Manziel was released from Cleveland Browns in March.

Troubled NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel is expected to be charged over an alleged assault on his ex-girlfriend.

A Department for International Trade report shows 5,443 new posts were created in 2015-16 - a 7% increase on the previous financial year. Almost 7,000 jobs were created or safeguarded by foreign direct investment during the same period. The report said the UK remains the most popular EU destination for overseas firms. Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said Wales had a "tremendous platform" to build on as the UK prepared to leave the EU. He said: "These figures demonstrate that Wales remains an attractive destination for overseas investment, providing a valuable boost to the economy and creating thousands of jobs. "Our country now has a tremendous platform to build on over the coming months as we make plans to leave the EU, forge stronger relations with international partners and attract more investment from emerging markets." The figures come as First Minister Carwyn Jones said the referendum result meant it was time to sell Wales to the world like "never before". He has appointed officials to represent Wales in EU negotiations and reiterated his support for the UK to remain in the single market at a press conference to mark 100 days since he was reinstated as first minister.

More than 5,000 new jobs were created in Wales as foreign investments in the UK hit a high, government figures show.

The move is part of national fire service reforms unveiled by Home Secretary Theresa May last week. Sussex PCC Katy Bourne said emergency services would have an increased duty to collaborate under the new bill. But West Sussex County Council (WSCC) said it already had an excellent model. East Sussex's fire authority said it would co-operate with the PCC but it believed collaboration could be achieved without elaborate structural change. Ms Bourne said she had written to WSCC leader Louise Goldsmith and Phil Howson, East Sussex Fire Authority chairman, to request they begin to look at the feasibility of bringing both fire services under her authority. "Just as we have one police force that effectively manages the county, we need to understand if one fire service not two could achieve the same," she said. Ms Bourne's letter met with cross-party opposition from WSCC. And Ms Goldsmith also invited the home secretary to visit West Sussex and see an alternative to the government's preferred plan. Ms Goldsmith said West Sussex fire service was already integrated within the council and served communities. She added last year's Shoreham air disaster showed how West Sussex emergency services already worked together. East Sussex Fire Authority said it was willing to co-operate with the PCC to determine whether proposals could improve delivery of services and create efficiencies. In a statement, it added: "[The fire authority] believes whilst close collaboration between the emergency services is essential, it can be achieved without elaborate structural change. "It is also the fire authority's considered view that it is more accountable to the community it serves because its members are elected councillors."

Plans set out by the Sussex police and crime commissioner (PCC) to take responsibility for fire services in East and West Sussex - and potentially merge them - have met with opposition.

Leicester's Matty James and Villa's Ciaran Clark were sent off in the game. Both clubs admitted an FA charge of "failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour". Villa's case will be heard by an Independent Regulatory Commission. Players clashed on the pitch during Leicester's 1-0 win following a tackle by James on Jores Okore. There was then a confrontation between the benches as the players walked off at full time. It is the third time Villa have been found guilty of the offence this season. They were fined £20,000 and £30,000 for failing to control their players in games against Tottenham and Manchester United respectively.

Leicester have been fined £20,000 by the Football Association over the conduct of their players during a game against Aston Villa.

Mr Spencer, head of Xbox, said the console, then codenamed Project Scorpio, “must deliver true 4K gaming and high-fidelity VR [virtual reality]”. The Xbox One X, as it will now be known, looks set to deliver on that first promise of 4K visuals. But on the second? Virtual reality didn’t get a single mention at the company’s bonanza press event on Sunday. So what’s happening? I think it’s fair, despite the mild protests of his PR team afterwards, to characterise Mr Spencer as something of a virtual reality sceptic - at least for now. “It’s important to listen to your customers and what they are actually looking for,” he told me. “I don’t get many questions about consoles and mixed reality in the living room. "When I do this on my PC, I’m closer to my PC - that seems to be a much more user-friendly scenario today.” What he’s saying is - the technology isn’t quite there yet, in his view. Contrast that with Sony, whose PlayStation VR has sold more than one million headsets since being launched this time last year. You’ll also notice that Mr Spencer talks about “mixed” reality, not “virtual”. The strategy from the very top at Microsoft is not in virtual worlds, but in augmented ones, where digital images are overlaid on to the real world. Microsoft's Hololens augmented reality headset device, though still in its infancy, is perhaps the most exciting piece of consumer technology in development today - and Mr Spencer seems to buy into its potential, more so than VR. “That’s where we see the most interest from customers and developers,” he said. “We are believers in mixed reality. And mixed reality on the PC is something we’re focused on.” Mr Spencer drew comparisons with Kinect, the motion-control device Microsoft released for the Xbox in 2010. Kinect was at first considered a big hit and around 24 million were eventually sold. There are signs that Hololens and mixed reality could follow that same early trajectory, Mr Spencer said. “We went through Kinect. We’ve seen what new ecosystems feel like when they’re catching momentum and really growing. We see that happening on Windows with mixed reality - that’s going to be our focus.” But that Kinect comparison isn’t exactly ideal. Despite its early success - it was recognised by Guinness as the fastest selling consumer electronics device in history - you won’t see gamers excitedly gathering around a Kinect at E3 this year, and Microsoft has now abandoned bundling in the Kinect with the Xbox One console. It was an innovative technology that ultimately lacked a practical application. In other words: it just didn’t really catch on. Will virtual reality? If it does - Microsoft's choice to go down the mixed reality road could leave the Xbox platform bereft of gaming’s next big thing.

When introducing Microsoft’s newest Xbox console in 2016, Phil Spencer didn’t mince his words.

Strikes planned for Christmas were suspended after the new offer was made but members rejected it by 7-1. The strike affects "mixed fleet" staff who joined after 2010 and account for 15% of the total cabin crew. BA said it planned to "ensure that all our customers travel to their destinations". It said further details for customers would be published on Friday 6 January, once it had finalised contingency plans. "We are extremely disappointed that Unite has once again chosen to target our customers," the company said. "We are now focused on protecting our customers from this unnecessary and completely unjustified action." The dispute concerns about 4,000 staff who have joined the airline since 2010 on "mixed fleet" contracts, who do not feel they are paid enough. About 2,500 of them are Unite members. Earnings were advertised between £21,000 and £25,000 but, in reality, start at just over £12,000 plus £3 an hour flying pay, Unite said. The union said its members rejected the new offer by 7-1. "British Airways is needlessly provoking strike action by refusing to extend the mandate of the strike ballot and allow meaningful talks to take place," Unite's national office Oliver Richardson said. "Instead of listening to why its mixed fleet cabin crew rejected the offer negotiated at Acas, British Airways has sought instead to try and bully a workforce of young men and women who are trying to eke out a living on poverty pay." However, he added that the union was "hopeful that a negotiated settlement which meets our members' aspirations can be achieved" and urged BA to "engage constructively".

British Airways cabin crew will stage a 48-hour strike from 10 January after rejecting a new pay offer, the Unite union says.

Machinery that used to be "the heart" of Poldark Mine is to be restored by Cornwall College engineering students. The tin mine, which is open to the public, is one of the oldest industrial structures in the UK, its owner said. It is believed that the renovation project on the mine at Wendron near Helston could take several years to complete. David Edwards, who bought it last year, said the machinery on site "has suffered after 14 years of little or no investment" but that the recent BBC television series has prompted the need for it to be rejuvenated. "Poldark definitely had an impact for us, it brought more people in buying bookmarks and taking a tour of the mine," he said. "The challenge now is to restore the machinery we have on display and get it back in order so that it is more interesting to the public. "This has been a place of industry since the 1400s, one of the oldest industrial structures in the UK, so keeping it going is vital for Cornwall's heritage." Luke Bazeley, an engineering lecturer at Cornwall College, said: "We always try to give the students work experience and this is the perfect live project to work on - they've loved visiting the site and finding out more about Cornwall's heritage." He added the students will need to do some research to find replacement parts for the machinery.

A mine, which has been made popular again by the recent BBC series Poldark, is to get a "facelift".

At talks in Moscow, he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Russia's actions in the Middle East would always be "responsible". Mr Netanyahu is concerned by the possibility of Israeli and Russian forces inadvertently trading fire. Israel has periodically struck inside Syria against militants it says have been plotting attacks against it. It has also responded to shellfire from forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who Russia has backed throughout the four-year uprising against his rule. But in the past week, US officials have confirmed reports that the Russian military has sent warplanes, helicopters, tanks, artillery guns, armoured personnel carriers and 200 marines to an airfield near Mr Assad's ancestral home in Latakia province. They believe Moscow plans to turn the airfield into a forward operating base that could allow it to send a large number of troops to Syria and launch air strikes. Israel is believed to have previously targeted Syrian and Iranian weapons convoys in Syria meant for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, though it has not officially acknowledged this. Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Moscow comes at a time of deepening Russian military involvement in Syria. The arrival of Russian fixed-wing combat aircraft at the airbase in Latakia only accentuates the questions surrounding Moscow's military presence there. According to satellite photos obtained by Stratfor - a US think-tank - the jets appear to be four Sukhoi Su-30 multi-role fighters and up to a dozen possible SU-25 ground attack aircraft. Their deployment came shortly after initial military-to-military contacts between the US and the Russians at the end of last week. The US is operating warplanes against so-called Islamic State targets in Syrian airspace and Israel too is concerned about the potential constraints on its military freedom of action over southern Syria. That's why Mr Netanyahu visited Moscow. Clearly all three countries need to have some sense of what the other might potentially be doing if a damaging incident is to be avoided - especially if Russia intends to use its aircraft to support the Assad regime. Mr Netanyahu said Iran and Syria were "trying to set up a second terrorist front on the Golan Heights", a Syrian plateau which was mostly captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war. Israel annexed the captured section in 1981, in a move not recognised internationally. Mr Putin told Mr Netanyahu that Syria had no interest in attacking Israel. "We know that the Syrian army and Syria as a whole are in such a state that they have no time for a second front. They need to save their own state," he said. Russia acknowledges supplying weapons to Syria and sending military experts to train government forces in their use, but denies they are involved in combat.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sought to allay Israeli concerns at Russia's military build-up in Syria.

The six girls were taking part in the FIRST Global Challenge competition, which took place across three days and saw 158 nations compete against each other. They took home a silver medal for courageous achievement, which was awarded to teams "that exhibit a can-do attitude throughout the challenge, even under difficult circumstances, or when things do not go as planned". According to the New York Times, the team's mentor Alireza Mehraban said: "We are simple people with ideas. We need a chance to make our world better. This is our chance." A visa is a special permission that you get in your passport which you sometimes need in order to enter or stay in a country for a certain period of time Their story made the news because, at first, they weren't going to be allowed to go to the competition because of visa problems. They were told twice that they weren't allowed to enter the country so wouldn't have been able to take part. However, US President Donald Trump stepped in at the last minute and the girls were able to travel to the US and participate. The competition - which hopes to inspire young people to want careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths - will take place in Mexico City next year.

A team of girls from Afghanistan has won a special award at an international robotics competition in Washington in the US.

The 22-year-old France-born winger, who has declared himself available for Algeria, joins for an undisclosed fee. He spent five years with Le Havre, scoring six times in 60 games after moving from amateur club Quimper. "I'm delighted we've been able to sign him. Any signing has to improve what we already have and Riyad is a very talented, technically good player," said Leicester manager Nigel Pearson.

Leicester City have signed Riyad Mahrez from French second-tier side Le Havre.

"OK, folks, good morning and welcome, what have we got from the weekend?" On the 23rd floor of the Metropolitan Police's west London office, Detective Chief Superintendent Alaric Bonthron begins a morning briefing for one of the force's most secretive sections. Known as a "grip and pace" meeting, it's a regular catch-up for senior officers from the Department of Professional Standards, the 380-strong unit responsible for dealing with complaints against officers and staff, deaths in custody, police misconduct - and corruption. "We had a CAD (computer-aided dispatch) message from an anonymous female alleging that police were involved with the supply of drugs," says one of the dozen senior officers sitting around the table, in a room with panoramic views over London. Another policeman chips in with details of a separate allegation. "One officer... tried to persuade another officer to amend their notes whilst they were with a prisoner in a hospital, I understand," he says. Det Ch Supt Bonthron checks that the information is being dealt with appropriately and moves on down a list which also includes the latest court cases and misconduct hearings. These are busy times for the department, spread over four floors and with a budget of £24 million. Over the past two months it's carried out investigations into a Met policeman over allegations of voyeurism and inciting prostitution; a Heathrow community support officer who admitted stealing a wallet containing almost £2,500; and a police recruit, who's accused of publishing extreme pornography. This was also the unit which investigated the so-called "plebgate" affair, which led to one officer being jailed - and sacked, along with three others. Bonthron says he's sometimes shocked by what his colleagues have got up to. "There are things that make you look up and think 'has somebody actually really done that?'," he says, adding that "99.9 percent" do a good job when they come to work. "Unfortunately, we have a few people who either make mistakes or do stupid things and the rest of the organisation doesn't want those people in the job." The corruption arm of the unit has its origins in a drive against so-called "bent cops" initiated in the early 1990s by the then Met Commissioner Sir Paul - now Lord - Condon, who famously told the Home Affairs Committee that he had "a minority of officers who are corrupt, dishonest, unethical". He suggested they numbered around 250. Investigations conducted by the shadowy Scotland Yard unit that became known as CIB3 found that officers were passing information to criminals - and journalists - in return for money; there were cases where evidence had been sabotaged; and police, it was discovered, had been complicit with informants in plotting crimes in order to share the spoils. In 2000, Neil Basu, who now heads Scotland Yard's organised crime and gangs command, was recruited into the unit that was once known as the "ghost squad" because it was so secretive. "We felt kind of excommunicated from the Met," he reveals. "I sort of joke about it now, but I can't remember being invited to a leaving do for the three years I was on professional standards." Basu, who was then a "green" detective inspector, says he was "wide-eyed" at the extent of corruption he came across. "My God, none of us realised it was at this level. What we were looking at here was people who were drug-dealers, conspiracy to commit kidnap, conspiracy to commit violence, serious assaults, perhaps even attempted murder". Investigating corrupt officers was even more challenging for Basu and his colleagues because the suspects were aware of police tactics, including surveillance. "Imagine how difficult it is to follow somebody who knows what cars the police use, who knows what techniques they use, who know exactly where to go, what to look for, where to park, how to conduct themselves in a busy environment," he says. It may be one of the reasons why cases in which police corruption is alleged to have played a part, such as the murder of the private investigator Daniel Morgan in 1987, can be so hard to solve. And it may explain why the Department of Professional Standards, though no longer a "ghost squad", is still sealed off from the rest of the Metropolitan Police. "We are a force within a force", says Alaric Bonthron. "Everything I could do if I was out on a borough... we can do exactly the same". The unit has its own intelligence hub and dedicated surveillance teams, so if it needs to move in on an officer or member of staff within the force no one else will find out. "The people who know are the people who need to know," says Det Ch Supt Bonthron. "The commissioner gets briefed on the high level jobs... but again you've got to be careful who you include in a lot of these jobs." The process of preventing corruption begins at the recruitment stage, when new joiners are vetted, drug tested and warned about the dangers of dodgy friendships and inappropriate social media postings that could leave them vulnerable. Fiona Taylor, a deputy assistant commissioner who's in overall charge of professional standards, says it's a "robust" process - but she acknowledges the need for continual vigilance as policemen and women forge their careers. "Policing is a very, very complicated job in the 21st century - we need to understand that if somebody makes a mistake and we can rehabilitate them, we can develop them, we can bring them back into the organisation, then we will do that,". she explains. She adds that most officers go about their business "very bravely and very professionally". The number of dismissals for misconduct issues in the Met is fairly stable - 48 in 2013/14 and 64 the previous year. But the former Strathclyde Police assistant chief constable, who joined the Met in 2013, has a tough side too, as she makes clear she's not "in the business" of keeping corrupt or bad officers within the organisation. "We need to have the capacity to catch... potentially serious criminals who exist within our midst -- and you know we do that!"

Media playback is not supported on this device Sunday's 1-1 draw against Ross County, which took the Hoops nine points clear with four games left, saw anti-board protests and boos at the final whistle. "They can say and do as they please because we have not been producing the right results as we should be. "We know that and we have let ourselves down," Brown said. Manager Ronny Deila's announcement that he will leave at the end of the season because of a lack of improvement in performances has cast a shadow over the remainder of the club's season. But Celtic could effectively wrap up their fifth Premiership title in a row with victory against Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday, given their vastly superior goal difference to second-placed Aberdeen, who they face the following weekend. "We need to bounce back from this now," said Brown, in Dublin to promote Celtic's pre-season International Champions Cup match against Barcelona on 30 July. "We need to start getting ourselves together. We need to go back to winning ways. We've got next season to look forward to. "We are going for five in a row now and we want to continue it, we want to get six and seven. "We believe we've got the players in that dressing room that can do that and we've just got to put a lot of faith and trust in ourselves and express a lot more than we have been doing in recent weeks. "As everyone knows there's going to be a new manager but we're concentrating on the last three or four games of the season. "For now Ronny is still our manager and now we need to try and win the league for him as soon as possible and give him something back." Deila resigned days after the Hoops were beaten by Old Firm rivals Rangers on penalties in the Scottish Cup semi-finals. Fans were also frustrated at the club's lack of Champions League progress under the Norwegian. Former West Brom boss Steve Clarke has become the latest to declare his interest in the vacancy, although David Moyes remains the bookmakers' favourite.

Celtic captain Scott Brown says unhappy fans have every right to vent their feelings after a season in which the team have "let themselves down".

The Equipping Scotland for the Future report was published by the Institute for Public Policy Research Scotland. It said colleges, apprenticeships and work-based training had to concentrate on tackling issues around pay, progression and productivity. It also called for a skills system "with a much clearer national focus". The Scottish government said Scotland had the highest proportion of employees, about 80%, paid the Living Wage of all the four countries of the UK. Ministers said they were working to ensure a skills system where businesses, academics and civic partners work together to "optimise economic impact". The IPPR Scotland report said Scotland's pay rate had fallen behind the UK after catching up between 2010 and 2015. It also found fewer Scots progressed from low-skilled jobs to middle and high-skilled jobs than in the rest of the country. Scotland's standing has improved against the national average, but the UK is said to have performed poorly over this time. Rachael Thomas, a research fellow at IPPR Scotland, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that the skills system must help to deliver the economy that the country needs. She said: "Technology change doesn't just destroy jobs, it also creates new ones. "And history suggests that the jobs that are created will be more highly skilled than the ones that are lost. "New technologies will therefore require new skills and the skills system will really need to respond and adapt to increased demand from the labour market in this area." The report suggested technological and demographic changes would alter the economy and society resulting in people working longer in multiple careers and for multiple employers. The think tank put forward six measures for improvement, including setting out a clear national purpose for the skills system. It said there should be "regional integration" and flexibility of learning to encourage people to learn at their own pace. Further recommendations included increasing the skills that can be transferred and clarifying the routes to learning to avoid "confusion and duplication". Jamie Hepburn, Minister for Employability and Training, said the Scottish government was using "all of the powers at our disposal" to promote fair pay and conditions. He added: "We know it's important that we address skills gaps and have confirmed we will use the apprenticeship levy, which the UK government forced on Scotland without consultation, to give both employers and employees more options and flexibility. "We will boost Modern Apprenticeships and address skills gaps and the training needs of existing employees where a full apprenticeship might not be appropriate. "Our review of enterprise and skills agencies will look at building on existing strengths to ensure a system where all of our agencies work with each other and collaboratively with our business, academic and civic partners to optimise economic impact across the whole of Scotland."

The way in which people in Scotland are trained for work needs to change in order to meet future challenges, a think tank has warned.

Fifteen-year-old Sarvesh Verma, son of illiterate parents, scored 96.83% in the test and has been widely praised in India for his hard work. In the villages of Uttar Pradesh, the power supply is intermittent and Sarvesh said he mostly had to study under the light of a solar lantern. Although secondary school exams are optional and do not have much significance on their own, they are taken by tens of millions of students every year across India to prepare for the really crucial higher secondary exams. Success stories involving students from poor backgrounds like Sarvesh are not uncommon, but for the moment, Sarvesh and his family are revelling in his success. "My son has brought me immense joy," said his father Swaminath Verma, who owns a tiny plot of land and sells vegetables to supplement his income. "I could not study because of financial problems, so I thought I must send my children to school and wipe out the darkness from their lives," he added. "We knew he will do well, but we didn't know he will be a topper. We never had to ask him to study. He always say he has to study so he can improve our lot," said his mother, Sona Devi. Sarvesh, who lives in Sahsaraav village, has to cycle 10km (6 miles) to reach his school in Haraiyya town. He credits his success to his parents' hard work and co-operation from his teachers. "I got tremendous support from my school teachers," he said. When he grows up, he wants to join the civil service and fight corruption, since the "culture of giving and receiving bribes is a huge problem in our society". "We must think how to eradicate corruption. In my village the public distribution system is in a bad shape. People who deserve subsidised food grains sold through ration shops do not get them. All this must change," he added. In a school competition last year, Sarvesh won a tablet and said he often goes on the internet to see what is going on in the world. But, he added, he is not a fan of social media and is not on Facebook.

The son of a poor Indian farmer who has beaten nearly 3.5 million students to top secondary school exams in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh talks to BBC Hindi about his struggles and ambition.

McDonnell, 30, will face Rosas on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's IBF world heavyweight title bout with Charles Martin at the O2 in London. It will be McDonnell's first fight in the UK since he defeated Argentina's Javier Chacon in Liverpool in 2014. The Doncaster fighter, who has won 27 of his 30 fights, beat Japan's Tomoki Kameda in both of his past two bouts. McDonnell won the WBA title with a 10th-round stoppage of Thailand's Tabtimdaeng Na Rachawat at Wembley Stadium in May 2014. He had previously been stripped of the IBF title for failing to fight the federation's mandatory challenger in the advised timeframe. "I cannot tell you how good it feels to be back fighting in the UK," said McDonnell. "It has been a long time coming. "Rosas has won world titles. He has mixed it with the best and is very experienced. "He will bring a lot to the table. He is only 31 so he will still be hungry. I hope we can put on a great fight and I am 100% confident I can beat him." In other fights on the Joshua undercard, Lee Selby defends his IBF world featherweight title against Eric Hunter, three-time world super-middleweight title challenger George Groves faces unbeaten Scot David Brophy and Nigel Benn's son Conor makes his professional debut.

British WBA world bantamweight champion Jamie McDonnell will defend his title against Juan Alberto Rosas on 9 April.

SKN Heritage Museum is showing the type of belongings brought by African-Caribbean immigrants in the 1940s and 50s. The Windrush generation responded to adverts to work in Britain but were only allowed to bring one suitcase. Organisers said the display gives a unique insight into important part of Nottingham's history. The Windrush was named after the first boat which brought people from the Caribbean to Britain in 1948. The exhibition, called 'From Caribbean Isles to the British Isles -Home to Home', aims to give an insight into people who travelled across the Atlantic to seek a better life in what was still the Empire's "mother country". Item include photographs, clothes, records and games - as well as beauty products designed for black skin and hair when none were commercially available. Catherine Ross, the museum's founder, cameto Nottingham from St Kitts when she was just seven years old. She said: "Our aim is to let everyone know about the contributions that Caribbeans have made to British society and Nottingham and commemorate these achievements. "There'sno better place tostart than Nottingham Carnival, as it's such awell known and celebratory event in Nottingham's calendar." The carnival is taking place for the first time take in two sites - the Forest Recreation Ground on Saturday and the Victoria Embankment on Sunday.

A unique perspective on a landmark social event is to be unveiled as part of Nottingham's Caribbean Carnival.

The 78-year-old ex-Scotland international says several of his old team-mates are affected. He believes it is as the result of heading heavy footballs in the 1950s and '60s. "People of our era, the balls we played with were big, heavy things," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "To lift them up to take a throw-in you'd have to do special training, and the conditions we played in - snow, rain and mud - and we trained with these things as well, every day, heading practice as well. "Whether this problem of dementia hastens the end of your life or not I don't know, I'm not a medical person - but what I am saying is these were my pals, these were the guys I played with and they have got these problems." St John believes football as an industry should help ex-pros with care costs and said: "If someone needs special care as a result of their career and their career was football, then football should pay for that." The Football Association said it was committed to supporting research into degenerative brain disease among former players. St John's former Liverpool team-mate Geoff Strong, who won the FA Cup in 1965 alongside the Scot, died aged 75 from Alzheimer's in 2013 while last year it was revealed that three members of England's 1966 World Cup squad - Martin Peters, Nobby Stiles and Ray Wilson - have the condition. Former West Brom striker Jeff Astle died in 2002, aged 59, from brain trauma caused by heading footballs throughout his career. He was originally diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, but a re-examination of his brain found he had died from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) - a progressive degeneration caused by repeated head trauma. St John praised the work that Astle's family have done through the Jeff Astle Foundation, which aims to raise awareness of brain injury in all forms of sport. But he still believes the Professional Footballers' Association and other football authorities can do more to help former players and the families who are caring for them. "The game is awash with money, absolutely, so you can't turn round and say it's a finance thing," said St John, who played 336 times for Liverpool, scoring 95 goals. Last year, the FA said it wanted world governing body Fifa to investigate whether former players have dementia as a consequence of playing the game and added that it took concerns about concussion and head injuries "extremely seriously". "In 2015 we established an expert panel which led to the publication of the FA concussion guidelines," it said. "The expert panel further agreed that research is particularly required into the issue of whether degenerative brain disease is more common in ex-footballers. "The FA is determined to support this research and we have recently agreed with the PFA to jointly fund and support this research as we believe that a collaborative approach will strengthen the credibility and resource available."

Former Liverpool striker Ian St John has called on football's leaders to look after former professionals who have dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

"Industrial-strength" extremists cannot be dealt with "just with force of arms", he said in a rare interview. During the Iraq war, Mr Petraeus devised the strategy that saw a "surge" in US troop numbers and secured support from Sunni tribesmen against al-Qaeda. Iraq's US-backed army is now battling to retake territory seized by IS. Gen Petraeus described the group as "a formidable enemy". "It is really a conventional army that also has elements of an insurgency, and indeed significant terrorist elements as well," he said. But when asked to compare IS with its predecessor, al-Qaeda in Iraq - which Gen Petraeus was instrumental in defeating - he said the latter "had much greater roots in Iraq and much greater numbers than IS". The retired general characterised the recent capture by IS of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, as "a strategic loss in the sense that the narrative of IS being on the defensive - of losing - was shown to be somewhat hollow". "I do think Ramadi will be retaken in a matter of weeks or less," he added. "But this was a big setback. At such a time, one has to look at the strategy, at refinements that need to be made, at efforts that need to be augmented, and I know that's what's going on right now." 1974: Graduates from West Point US military academy, joining the army 2007: Leads US troop surge during Iraq conflict 2008: Head of US Central Command 2010: Nato commander in Afghanistan Mid-2011: Leaves military to become CIA director November 2012: Resigns over affair After commanding international troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Gen Petraeus became head of the CIA but was forced to stand down in 2012, following revelations of an extra-marital affair. Subsequent allegations that he provided classified information to his mistress while he was CIA director led him to plead guilty to one misdemeanour charge. But despite the turbulence of his private life, Gen Petraeus remains one of the heroes of America's controversial military operations of recent years. He was the architect of the "surge" in Iraq that deployed more US troops, but equally important, got them out of their defended compounds to create security at a local level. He also greatly expanded the Anbar Awakening, the mobilisation of Sunni tribesmen to combat al-Qaeda. Not surprisingly in the wake of the recent setbacks in Iraq, his views are being canvassed by the White House, the Pentagon, and on Capitol Hill. The keynote of the Petraeus approach today is as it always was - the need for the political and military aspects of strategy to march closely in step. "You cannot deal with an industrial-strength extremist problem just with force of arms," he said. "You have to have that political component as well." Political change has to start at the top. Above all, Gen Petraeus says, "the Sunni Arabs have to be given incentives to support the new Iraq rather than to oppose it". As to the fundamental question - can the Iraqi military actually win against Islamic State? - he has few doubts. "During the surge and in the years after the surge, Iraqi forces fought and died for their country at vastly higher numbers than did US and coalition forces. We know that they can fight," he insists. "We know that they will fight. But they will only fight if they have good leadership, and the support and knowledge that somebody will have their back if they get into a tough fight." That looks like requiring greater US involvement closer to the frontline. Gen Petraeus is reluctant to give details. "Should there be US advisors with Iraqi forces below the divisional level?" he asks. "Should there be joint teams of tactical air controllers on the ground with security and other assets to support them? "Does there need to be an augmentation of the train-and-equip effort? Can we accelerate the delivery of some of the equipment that Iraq so desperately needs?" It sounds like the elements of a blueprint for a re-invigorated US effort. But then again - typical Petraeus - there is the political dimension. "Are we doing all that we can to empower and support those Iraqi leaders, starting with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who recognise the need to bring the Sunni Arab population back into the fabric of Iraqi society? And, most importantly, are our military elements and structures sufficiently supporting the political component and vice versa?" In response to my comment that all this could have been said a year ago - Gen Petraeus responded by saying that he did indeed say it all a year ago. This is not about re-inventing the wheel. "We need to see the same elements of this (previous) comprehensive civil-military counter- insurgency campaign, albeit today with the Iraqis playing the key roles, enabled by the Americans." Gen Petraeus acknowledges the difficulties of grappling with the horrors in Syria but insists that the only way forward is to train and equip moderate opposition elements. He says that more such fighters will spring up once the programme gets under way. And he is very cautious about any Iranian role in combating IS. He insists Iran remains a revolutionary power in the region. "This is a country that has made progress because of chaos. It has both benefited from chaos and fomented chaos to try to achieve regional hegemony," he says. So he believes that "while there can indeed be some coincidence of interest between the US, its coalition allies in the region and Iran in terms of the defeat of IS (...) the over-arching context is one that gives you reason to have considerable caution in how you go forward in the relationship with Iran". Gen Petraeus still travels to Iraq regularly. He knows the key players well. And though out of uniform and established in a civilian career as an adviser, he remains the man who did achieve a kind of success in Iraq. That is a commodity that is in short supply today for the Americans and the Iraqi authorities. This makes the Petraeus approach an attractive model. But the question remains: Can the outcome be the same with the Iraqi military cast in the role of the Americans?

Ex-CIA Director David Petraeus has told the BBC that Islamic State militants can only be defeated through a dual military and political approach.

The Euro 2012 co-hosts took the lead when Yarmolenko seized on goalkeeper Samir Handanovic's unconvincing punch. Seleznyov slid in to convert the overlapping Artem Fedetskiy's cross after the break. Josip Ilicic wasted a fine chance for Slovenia, but his side were fortunate not to fall further behind in the tie. Seleznyov side-footed a tame shot against the post after Denys Garmash had directed a powerful header straight at Handanovic under little pressure. Ukraine have lost in five previous qualifying play-offs for major tournaments - including a 3-2 aggregate reverse when they played Slovenia for a place at Euro 2000. With former heavyweight boxing champion, now mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko watching on in the stands, there seemed little chance of a repeat as Yarmolenko - the target of an unsuccessful bid by Premier League side Everton in August - and Yevhen Konoplyanka pulling the strings. Despite a spell of late pressure, Slovenia, who picked up two of five yellow cards in a tetchy encounter, will have to show more adventure in the return in Maribor on Tuesday.

The ventriloquist, who, with his puppet duck Orville became a staple of Saturday night TV in the 1980s, died last month aged 67. Mourners gathered at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in his hometown to pay their respects. The entertainer's fourth wife Sarah and her children attended the ceremony, alongside Coronation Street star Ken Morley and comedian Jimmy Cricket. A floral tribute from the Nolan sisters read: "For Keith, a great pro, fantastic talent, [and] a lovely man who will be sorely missed" Harris entertained generations of children with his sidekick Orville, a bright green duck who wore a nappy and spoke in a high-pitched voice. He also gave life to the popular puppet Cuddles the monkey, whose catchphrase was 'I Hate That Duck!'. At the height of his fame, he fronted The Keith Harris Show on BBC One and gave private performances at birthday parties for Prince William and his brother Harry, at the request of Diana, Princess of Wales. His 1982 single, Orville's Song, was a top five hit, selling more than 400,000 copies. Harris, who married four times and had three children, was first diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and became ill again in January. He died in hospital in Blackpool on 28 April.

Friends of Keith Harris have joined his family at his funeral in Blackpool.

Cerberus bought the loan portfolio for £1.3bn in 2014. It paid a £15m "success fee" to the Brown Rudnick law firm for work it had done on the portfolio. Brown Rudnick also claimed it could help Cerberus "position itself effectively with key stakeholders". Cerberus chief operating officer Mark Neporent said Brown Rudnick claimed that they could get access to the executive via the Belfast law firm Tughans. "They told us they could get us access to other stakeholders... the Northern Ireland Executive, people in the Republic," he said. Mr Neporent is giving evidence to the Public Accounts Committee in Dublin. Cerberus agreed to hire Brown Rudnick on 24 March 2014 and on 25 March the Cerberus chairman Dan Quayle met First Minister Peter Robinson at Stormont. Mr Neporent agreed with committee member Mary Lou McDonald that Brown Rudnick "were as good as their word" in getting access. Nama, an Irish state agency, was established in 2009 to take control of billions of euro of bad property loans which were damaging the Irish banks. Controversy has surrounded the sales process. Brown Rudnick and Tughans had previously been working with another fund, Pimco, which was bidding for the portfolio. Pimco withdrew from the bidding process when it emerged that its fee arrangement with the firms was to involve a payment to Frank Cushnahan, a former Nama advisor. Cerberus then engaged Brown Rudnick on what it terms "a success fee only basis", meaning a fee would only be paid if the deal was done. Brown Rudnick agreed to share the success fee with Tughans. Cerberus said it received "express confirmation" from both firms that no fee or commission was payable to any current or former Nama advisors.

The investment fund which bought Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio was told by a law firm that it could get them "access" to the NI Executive, an Irish parliamentary committee has heard.

Speaking on the Sunday Politics Scotland programme, employability minister Jamie Hepburn cited a Fraser of Allander report. It said the economy was close to recession and was performing poorly when compared with the UK as a whole. The report suggested much - but not all - of the explanation was the oil price. Mr Hepburn said: "About two-thirds of the sluggish growth is down to the oil and gas downturn." He added: "Clearly there are other underlying trends that we have to get underneath the skin of. "But I think the other things we should reflect on are the strengths of the Scottish economy." Dean Lockhart of the Scottish Conservatives told the programme that the SNP had to take responsibility for economic performance. He said: "This is a real indictment. "The Fraser of Allander report... said we've had a lost decade under the SNP and that's absolutely right." Scottish Labour's Jackie Baillie said growth had fallen under the SNP. "If you look at the Scottish economy over the last 10 years, it has grown by 1.2%," she said. "That's a really small figure when you compare it to the preceding seven years, when it grew by 17%." Earlier, the programme had heard from an economist who believes the oil price fall has been a factor, along with wider underlying problems. Prof David Bell of the University of Stirling said: "The fall in the price of oil had a really pretty bad consequence for the North-East, which spread out across the rest of Scotland. "I guess other parts of the economy have lacked dynamism in the last 10 years or so. "We've got a situation now where the Scottish economy is performing pretty poorly for a pretty long period of time." He added: "One should be looking at the long-term factors. "There what we're thinking about is more infrastructure investment and on much more clear skills policy to ensure that if businesses do want to come to Scotland, there are the people available that could make these businesses prosper." David Johnstone is the managing director of the digital marketing agency After Digital. He told the programme that he is already aware of shortages in key skills areas. He said: "We are finding it quite tough to get these people in. "What we tend to see, if it's a marketing or brand-related job ad, we are inundated and we could probably come to a short list and pick one of five people. "The shortage of skills comes more from a technical development side of things." Mr Johnstone said it is very difficult for colleges and other training providers to keep up-to-date with developments in the business. He added: "I do sympathise with them because we live and breath this every day. "A course might start in September and by December some of the teaching of what they are trying to do might already by out of date."

The Scottish economy is still suffering the effects of a fall in the price of oil and gas, a government minister has said.

Rooney, 30, played in midfield rather than as a striker and came under fire following the shock defeat by Iceland. "He's our talisman, he's our greatest goalscorer, he's experienced and you don't want that to walk away at this stage," Lampard told BBC Sport. "I would want him in the team and in the squad. He has certainly got another tournament in him." Rooney has scored a record 53 goals in 115 appearances for his country. The Manchester United man was made England captain in August 2014 but has come under scrutiny for a number of disappointing displays. He found the net from the penalty spot after just four minutes against Iceland but underperformed for most of the game in Nice as England went out of Euro 2016 at the last-16 stage. In the wake of the defeat, Germany legend Lothar Matthaus said it was time for Rooney to retire from international football. "Sadly, when his team needed him, Rooney was not that leader," he said. "You need someone who can provide the impetus and rhythm. I thought Rooney could take the role but, when it mattered, he wasn't able to do it." Media playback is not supported on this device "I think once we reflect a bit more, Wayne will remain a big player in the squad and will help with the development of the younger players around him," insisted Lampard, who won 106 caps for England. However, the former Chelsea and West Ham midfielder thinks he needs to work out his best position for both club and country. Under Louis van Gaal, Rooney began to play in midfield as well as a striker but that may change now Jose Mourinho is manager of Manchester United. "I don't believe 31 is an age where you need to change position because of being 31, said Lampard, now playing in the United States with New York City. "I think Wayne still has the pace, the ability and the knowhow to play as a striker, but the choice will obviously be between him and his managers." Rooney has already said he would continue to be available for international selection. England's next game is a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Slovakia on 4 September. England should not be afraid of appointing another foreign coach as a successor to Roy Hodgson, said Lampard, who played under Swede Sven-Goran Eriksson and Italian Fabio Capello during his time with the national side. "Ideally, as a proud Englishman, you'd love an English manager," he said. "But I think, in the modern world, you have to accept that, if the options aren't there, you have to look abroad. "It wouldn't bother me if a foreign manager took an England team forward and was successful, not at all." England are looking for a new manager as Englishman Hodgson quit immediately after the defeat by Iceland. Under Eriksson, England reached the quarter-finals at three successive major tournaments, while Capello led England to the 2010 World Cup and a 4-1 defeat by Germany in the second round. "I think the best man for the job would be the starting point for picking the next manager," added Lampard, who would prefer a youthful boss, adding: "Over the last 10-15 years, when I was playing, we weren't setting a new tone. "I would look to a younger, forward-thinking manager who has a real strong idea about how he wants to play, plays good football, generates a good spirit in the team and go that way." But he believes it will not be a straightforward task for the Football Association. "I can't give you the name, which is the problem, but they will have to have a confidence in the decision they make," said Lampard. "They'll have to give him free reign to try to mould these good young players into a team that can fight at the top level."

Wayne Rooney still has a future with England despite their Euro 2016 failure, says Frank Lampard.

23-year-old Mawson arrived at the Liberty Stadium from Championship side Barnsley in August of 2016 and has performed well despite never playing in the first tier before joining the club. Swansea face Everton needing to win as they fight Premier League relegation and Clement believes Mawson's fine form will help in them stay up. "He can be very good," Clement said. He continued: "He is so young and does not have a lot of experience at this level. You can see there is that rawness about him that really catches the eye, the next moment there is something he should not be doing. "But he is at the age where he is developing. He has a lot of good attributes, physically, technically and tactically. So he can go on and do really well." Mawson has struck up a promising partnership with fellow centre-half Federico Fernandez, much like his predecessor and club captain Ashley Williams. After the departure of Williams to Everton in the summer, the Argentine international suffered a dip of form, but has worked well at the back with Mawson. "He [Fernandez] has hit some really good form. He was very, very good against Manchester United in his defending," said Clement. "He could do better with the ball at times, but he and Alfie are forming a nice partnership. "Earlier in the season there were too many goals going in, but they have had a fair share of games now where they have only conceded one goal or kept a clean sheet so that is good." With a late kick-off at the Liberty Stadium, the Swans know they could be as much as five points behind the side they are chasing, Hull, when they take to the pitch. The Tigers entertain already relegated Sunderland.

Swansea City head coach Paul Clement says centre back Alfie Mawson has a bright future ahead of him at the club.

Rangers led early through a scrappy goal from a corner, with Nedum Onuoha appearing to bundle in from a yard out. Onuoha almost provided a second goal before the interval, but Sebastian Polter saw his low left-footed shot hit a post from the defender's ball in. Tjaronn Chery's penalty made it 2-0 after Ronaldo Vieira clumsily fouled Jordan Cousins, before Polter fired in a third with the game's final touch. New Leeds head coach Garry Monk saw his side get off to the worse possible start within four minutes. The visitors, including former QPR goalkeeper Rob Green on debut, failed to clear a corner and Onuoha was among a number of bodies competing inside the six-yard box for the decisive final touch. QPR striker Polter caused Leeds' defence problems and twice hit the upright in the opening 45 minutes as the visitors looked off the pace. Monk's side showed glimpses of an attacking threat in the second half, but £3m summer signing Kemar Roofe was among those who struggled to impose themselves. Another new recruit, Swedish striker Marcus Antonsson, missed perhaps their best chance at 2-0 behind when he failed to hit the target with a one-on-one against QPR goalkeeper Alex Smithies. Leeds' misery was compounded with Polter's strike just before full-time, as the German volleyed home from a tight angle. QPR head coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink: "It was a good start. Perfect? No. But it was a good start as we were organised, had control in the first half and especially in the second. "Half-time came at the right time for us but then in the second half we controlled it, had more energy and we played really well. "We only gave away one chance really with our sloppiness and it was a good performance where we can have a look and work on things we need to improve and get better at." Leeds head coach Garry Monk: "It is obviously disappointing and not the start we wanted. "But this is just one game and I am confident we have the quality and the character in the group. "It's a process and I said when I walked in that it's not going to happen overnight. I trust all my players and trust they're good enough and will improve."

The owner of the 1977 Ford Mustang died in August and when his daughter checked his garage in Welwyn Garden City, she found that the car had disappeared. The family last recall seeing the car, registration VTM 648S, in 1995. Hertfordshire Police said: "We have exhausted all lines of inquiry and are waiting for any new information." It is understood the reason the car's disappearance went unnoticed for two decades is the owner was not well enough to visit the garage it was housed in. The force said it was convinced the car was not sold by the owner, as his daughter said she would have been informed, and all of the documentation is still in her late father's house. Police appealed for information about the missing Mustang six months ago but have yet to receive any leads in the case.

Police say they have reached the end of the road in their search for a classic car thought to have been stolen during the last 20 years.

Spanish police say he had secretly taken photographs of his students as well as having sent images of other children to people on the internet. The Manchester-born man reportedly had a "special obsession" with a girl he taught. He was arrested in Valladolid, north-west Spain as part of an Interpol investigation. Interpol said they discovered illegal files were being sent from an email address in Spain and alerted the authorities. Police said on Sunday the teacher is suspected of using a cloud storage service to keep and share the pictures between computers and with others. Officers say they found a large number of sexually explicit files involving minors at the home of the teacher. He kept photos of one girl in a dedicated folder on his computer but had not shared the images he had secretly taken of his underage students. Police said they believe he previously lived in the Seville area. Spanish National Police said: "At the moment, [police are] trying to establish the identity of the victims shown in the images found on the electronic devices belonging to the detained."

A British teacher living in Spain has been arrested for allegedly storing and sharing sexual images of children.

Slovakian Imrich Joni, 20, stabbed and strangled Gordon Bolan, 68, at a flat in Kenmure Street in Pollokshields last summer. An earlier trial at the High Court in Edinburgh heard that Joni hid the pensioner's body in a wardrobe. Judge Lady Scott described it as "a brutal murder" which had left Mr Bolam's family "utterly devastated". Joni, who lived at various addresses in the south side of Glasgow, murdered Mr Bolam at a date between 29 June and 14 July 2016. In April, he was found guilty of murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice. When he appeared for sentencing on Tuesday, the court heard the 20-year-old - who had denied any wrongdoing during his week long trial - had now accepted he killed Mr Bolam. The court was told he had expressed "genuine remorse" for his actions because he could not continue living with "the lie" of denying his guilt. His trial heard that Joni struck Mr Bolam with a knife before throttling him with a piece of fabric at an address in Kenmure Street. He then concealed his victim's remains in a bedroom wardrobe. In a bid to cover up his crime and destroy DNA evidence, the murderer then washed upholstery, floors and other surfaces. He also got rid of his trainers and the clothing he was wearing on the day he murdered Mr Bolam. But Joni was caught after detectives found his DNA around Mr Bolam's property. Forensic scientists also discovered his DNA on the ligature which was placed around Mr Bolam's throat. Defence advocate John Scott QC told the court that his client was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder caused by years of being physically abused by a family member. Telling Joni that he was likely to be deported from the UK following his release from custody, judge Lady Scott said: "Mr Bolam was a man who struggled with ill health but nevertheless lived a normal life. He was a much-loved member of his community. "His family have been left bereft and utterly devastated by his death. "I accept that you have expressed genuine remorse. I also take into account that you have suffered emotional and physical abuse and that you are a young man with post traumatic stress disorder. "This was a brutal murder. Balancing all these factors I have decided that you must serve at least 13 years before you become eligible to apply for parole."

A man who murdered a pensioner at his home in Glasgow has been ordered to spend a minimum of 13 years in jail.

The man, named by state media as Ji Zhongxing, 34, from central Shandong province, was injured and taken to hospital. No-one else was hurt in the blast, which filled part of the Terminal 3 arrivals hall with smoke. An online microblog attributed to the man says the explosion was to protest at his ill-treatment by Chinese police. The blog suggests his lower body was paralyzed after he was alleged to have been heavily beaten by security agents in southern China in 2005. Mr Ji, who is alleged to have been operating an unlicensed motorbike taxi service, was also apparently dissatisfied with the way his complaints against the authorities had been dealt with. State news agency Xinhua said he detonated the device - a package of gunpowder taken from fireworks - after being prevented from distributing leaflets. Photos posted on China's Weibo microblogging site showed a dark-haired man waving a white package in the air before the explosion. Later images from the airport showed the wheelchair on its side with officials treating him on the floor. Smoke drifted through the terminal after the blast, which occurred shortly before 18:30 (10:30 GMT) near one of the arrival gates. Xinhua showed several medical workers providing emergency treatment, with police officers also at the scene. Officials say order has been restored at the airport and there is no disruption to flights.

Graham Keddie told the taoiseach (Irish prime minister) that Tourism Ireland needed to change its work in Northern Ireland. The airport boss criticised the all-Ireland body in a strongly-worded letter obtained by the BBC's The View. Tourism Ireland promotes Northern Ireland and Ireland abroad. Graham Keddie also told Mr Kenny that the Brexit vote was not an "a la carte" exercise. He said different parts of the UK cannot remain in the EU and do what he termed "solo runs". As Belfast International Airport's managing director, Mr Keddie was invited by the taoiseach to take part the All-Island Civic Dialogue on Brexit in Dublin earlier this month, but was unable to attend. Mr Keddie said the changed economic times required a shift in emphasis. Graham Keddie said a weaker pound made Northern Ireland more attractive to tourists from Great Britain and a strong euro made the Republic more expensive. "Just as Tourism Ireland aggressively marketed and promoted the Republic of Ireland through Dublin, we expect no less an effort now that the situation is reversed," he told Enda Kenny. "Perhaps that is something you and your colleagues could impress on Tourism Ireland in the interests of fairness and equality." Graham Keddie also said that Belfast needed to be a greater priority. "Now for the first time we can say to an important market that they can use Belfast as the gateway to not only Northern Ireland, but the island as a whole," he wrote. Mr Keddie's letter has been commended by North Antrim MP Ian Paisley, who this week raised the issue of tourism and travel in the House of Commons. The DUP MP told The View: "I think it is very clear that the agenda of Tourism Ireland has been very much Dublin focused. "Here we have an international airport operating in Northern Ireland and its CEO spelling out loud and clear that it wants a fair crack of the whip, it wants Tourism Ireland to do its job and to see Northern Ireland as the gateway into the island of Ireland - not Dublin airport." Earlier this month, US airline United announced it was to stop flights between Belfast and New York, months after a £9m rescue deal. Two thirds of the money, which was to be given to United over three years, was to come from the Northern Ireland Executive. The flight is the only direct air link between Northern Ireland and the US. The European Commission has said EU rules do not allow public authorities to grant a specific airline an "undue advantage". SDLP MLA Sinead Bradley said it is unrealistic to suggest that Belfast International Airport could become the gateway to Ireland. "We can only judge people on their past record," she said. "We don't have to look too far back to see the saga that United Airlines and our only transatlantic flight that has been lost. "And then to make bold statements such as this does not really have much credibility that is unfortunate. "I would love to see that would be the day but we do have thankfully Dublin International Airport and many of us have had to turn to Dublin as the only route to such places as America." When contacted by The View, a spokesman for Belfast International Airport said he had nothing to add to Mr Keddie's letter, which he described as constructive and helpful. A spokeswoman for Tourism Ireland told the BBC that next week in Belfast, Tourism Ireland would launch its 2017 plans to promote Northern Ireland in GB and elsewhere around the world. Tourism Ireland continues to promote Northern Ireland in 23 markets around the world - building on the record growth we have seen in 2016. Bringing more visitors here remains an island-wide objective. This intervention by Graham Keddie may not be universally supported, but it illustrates the tensions that exist in a crucial all-island industry - a business that is looking for certainty in a post-Brexit world.

The head of Belfast International Airport has told Enda Kenny that Belfast should become "the gateway to Ireland".

Yet while such a prospect would make most of us run a mile, this is in fact a traditional massage method in Russia. Called a "venik" massage, the oak bunches are first softened in warm water. And rather than being whacked on your back in anger, they are gently and rhythmically applied. It is a popular treatment in the thousands of steam bathhouses, or "banyas", across Russia. The massage, which takes place in a sauna room set at a temperature of 70C, is said to boost circulation and prevent premature ageing of the skin. And after the treatment has finished you are supposed to immediately jump into a plunge pool of cold water. You might think that such an unusual massage would struggle to be successfully exported from Russia, but the co-founder of the first banya in London says that two years after opening, almost half of its customers are non-Russians. Launching the banya, called Banya No.1, was the dream of entrepreneurial Russian ex-pat Ksenia Bobkova. The 37-year-old has lived in the UK for more than 20 years after moving from St Petersburg to study law at Edinburgh University in 1994. After graduating from Edinburgh she has had a successful career in finance in London, first working at a large commercial law firm, and then co-founding a new investment company. Yet as much as Ms Bobkova says she has always enjoyed living in the UK, the one thing she really missed was regular trips to a banya. After dreaming of opening London's first banya for more than a decade, Ms Bobkova says that in 2012 "the circumstances came together" to enable her to finally start work on it. Firstly, she realised that more and more Russians were now living in London, which she hoped would make a banya commercially viable, and she had built up enough savings to launch the business. Then she found the right building, and two other UK-based Russian investors came on board. After a year of construction work, including importing a traditional banya stove from Russia, the bathhouse opened its doors in 2013. "When we wrote the business plan, we certainly focused on the fact that the Russian-speaking community in London had grown substantially over the past 15 years," she says. "But after we opened we soon discovered that London is so international, and that people who live here are so open to new experiences, that almost half our customers are non-Russian." Customers - both male and female - who don't want to strip naked can instead wear their swimming costume, or a strategically placed towel. And for people who wish to avoid the oak leaves, Scandinavian-style, hands-based back massages are also available. After the massages, people are encouraged to stay and relax in a lounge or rest area, where they can order traditional Russian food. While Ms Bobkova is reluctant to discuss how financially successful the banya is, it is often full, and typical visits cost £100 per person. And she now plans to open more branches. Running the banya is a world apart from Ms Bobkova's main job of helping to lead investment firm Fusion Asset Management, of which she was a founding partner in 2004. The business invests millions of pounds globally on behalf of large institutions, and has a sister office in Moscow. While the original six founders included one Englishman, an American and a Frenchman, it is now owned and run by three London-based Russian ex-pats. Ms Bobkova says that she likes working in the UK, because she values what she describes as "British fair play" in business. "Without comparing specifically to Russia, what is very fundamental in British business ethics is this concept of fair play," she says. "[Doing business in the UK means] you can trust people, and people will generally not try to squeeze you too much. In the UK both sides get a fairly allocated share of the profit, rather than one gets all, and the other gets nothing." In terms of her day-to-day style as a boss she says that while she has high expectations of staff, it is a point of principle that the 20 people at the finance firm don't have to work late nights or at weekends. "Nothing in the world is so important that it needs to be done at the weekend," she says. In addition to the two businesses, Ms Bobkova is also a co-founder of a networking organisation for Russians living and working in London. Called Russians in the City, and with 2,300 members, it holds quarterly events, such as drinks parties, or polo matches and skiing trips. The world is getting wealthier - but with the gap between rich and poor feeling bigger than ever, who are the winners and losers of this richer world in 2015? A Richer World 2015 Listen to the reports and documentaries The organisation has since opened a sister branch in Switzerland, with other ones due to open in New York and Dubai. A UK passport holder, and previously married to a British husband, Ms Bobkova says that Russians in the City allow her to maintain the Russian side of her identity. "I'm British in that I have lived here for 20 years, but I'm also obviously Russian," she says. "There are different categories of immigrants. Some are so integrated that they almost deny where they came from, while at the other end, some people don't integrate at all. "I'm somewhere in the middle, I'm fully integrated, I went to a British university... I speak English.... but I also like my Russian heritage, which I nurture through the bathhouse and through the network."

As leisure activities go, you would imagine that lying naked on a wooden table while two topless Russian men hit your back with bunches of oak leaves would only appeal to a very specialist group of enthusiasts.

Scores more are still missing in Teluk Wondama district after flash floods and landslides that were triggered when a river burst its banks. Hundreds of people have been injured and more than 5,000 are being housed in tents set up in emergency camps. The National Search and Rescue Agency and military have sent reinforcements to help deal with the disaster. The sudden flooding on Monday caught residents by surprise, officials said, contributing to the high death toll. The local airport has now reopened and roads have been largely cleared of debris, which is helping to speed up aid deliveries to the area, reports say. Navy warships had previously been used to carry tents, medical supplies and food to the disaster zone. Thousands of buildings, roads and bridges in five villages have been damaged or destroyed. The head of the the provincial relief agency, Dortheis Sawaki, said 104 bodies had been recovered, but many more people were missing and the death toll was expected to rise. "It's a tragedy. The smell of rotting corpses is everywhere. Power is down. There's no clean water," she was quoted by AP as saying. Many parts of the country had been badly hit by heavy rains, winds and high waves this year, meteorologists said.

More than 100 people are now known to have died in flooding in the eastern Indonesian province of West Papua.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said she was "swept off my feet" when she was contacted by a man she believed to be in Turkey. She lost her home, business and took out several loans over 14 months. She said: "The pressure was horrendous, and it got to the point where all the money had gone." More on this and other York stories Speaking to BBC Radio York, the woman, known as Nancy, said she had come out of a "bad marriage" and joined dating website Match.com "to dip my toe into the dating world". In July 2015, she received her first message. Nancy, from North Yorkshire, said: "I just connected with what seemed to be a very attractive-looking person who was really keen to talk to me. "There's a term for it - lovebombed - where you're just bombarded with affection and compliments. "When you're with someone who tells you how awful you are every day for ten years, then someone pays you some compliments... of course you're going to be swept away." After chatting for six weeks online, they then began talking via another messaging service, and she was asked for money. She was told the man and his young son had been attacked and mugged, with the boy requiring "urgent medical care". "It was a really bizarre amount of money, it was €3,750, it wasn't a straightforward amount of money I would have normally associated with a fraud," she said. "Reluctantly I sent the money, because I couldn't think of a child in distress and we seemed to be getting on really well." Nancy said she was "bombarded" with messages from the moment she woke up to when she went to sleep, with further requests for money coming in. She did not tell anyone about what she was experiencing. Nancy said: "As soon as the money requests came through it was posed to me that I shouldn't tell anybody because it would look really bad, nobody would understand." Action Fraud advice Nancy continued: "I came from one abusive relationship and went straight back into another one. "The manipulation was so extreme that I was told that if I didn't send money, they would starve and die. I didn't want that on my conscience. "You get to the point where you have lost so much money, you have to keep going in the hope that you're wrong." After reading fraud advice online, Nancy went to police at the start of September, but by this time, more than £300,000 had gone. No arrests have been made over the crime, also known as 'catfishing'. Nancy added: "I've got no house and huge debts, but the pressure has now gone. "I've restarted my business and have got a really good support network now."

He led the parade of soldiers along Llandudno promenade to re-affirm the Freedom of the County of Conwy. Hundreds of residents and holidaymakers turned out to see the march in the shadow of the Great Orme headland, where Kashmir goats are an attraction. The Royal goat tradition began in 1844 when Queen Victoria presented the Royal Welch Fusiliers with its first one. The soldiers were accompanied by the Regimental Band of The Royal Welsh, and paraded with colours flying, bayonets fixed and drums beating.

Soldiers from the Royal Welsh have taken part in a parade - joined by L/Cpl Shenkin, the regimental goat.

Support workers believe that a report on children abused in the town between 1997 and 2013 may have under-estimated the number because it was unlikely to include the experiences of Asian girls. The Jay report, published in August, put the figure at at least 1,400. But Yasmin Ishaq, who has supported victims, said: "It's not just the young white girls that they're targeting." Ms Ishaq, who runs a voluntary organisation, said men who they knew to be abusers had never been prosecuted and were also systematically abusing young girls within their own network of family and friends. She told BBC File on 4: "The Pakistani girls are not going to be part and parcel of this report. There's no record of what's happened to them. They're too afraid to have ever gone to the law. "The men will get away with this because nobody wants to address it and nobody wants to own up to the fact that their daughter has been molested." Although none of the victims would talk directly to the BBC, File on 4 heard reports of some Asian girls being blackmailed by grooming rings, while others were forced at knifepoint to perform sexual acts on men. Ms Ishaq described how one teenage girl she had been helping was taken to what she thought was a party by her boyfriend. "When she got there, there was no party, there were no other female members present. What she found was that there were five adults, their ages ranging between their mid 20s going on to the late 40s and five men systematically, routinely, raped her. And the young man who was supposed to be her boyfriend, stood back and watched." Ms Ishaq explained that the group photographed the abuse and threatened to publish it unless she did as she was told. "This is what is being said to her now: that if you do not comply, we will be submitting these photographs not only to your parents, to your fathers, to your brothers, but we will actually be posting them to local mosques," she said. "She is still currently in this hell-hole. She cannot see how by going to the police or asking for their help, she can save herself from the consequences of what her family will do to her. She has a genuine fear that she will be beaten, she will be taken abroad, she will be forced into a marriage she doesn't want to be in." Listen to File on 4: The Last Taboo on 28 October at 20.00 GMT or later on iPlayer. Other organisations told the BBC they had heard similar stories of abuse in the town. "There's a particular woman with learning difficulties that we're supporting and she will show you pictures on her phone of about six to eight different Pakistani men. She's adamant they're all her boyfriends," said Zlakha Ahmed, head of Apna Haq, a group that supports women from ethnic minorities in Rotherham. "She talks about the chocolates, the phones, the clothes, the presents, that they buy for her. They regularly pay for her train fare so she can go down to Manchester, Blackburn, London, Birmingham. "When she arrives she'll go to a really posh hotel, she meets a number of these men and she's introduced to some of their friends. Then she'll always say, 'I was given a drink and I don't remember what happened then'. "She talks about how she wakes up in the morning and her legs hurt badly, and she's had a number of abortions. For us, that is gang-related abuse of a vulnerable woman. We know this is one young woman. How many others will they be abusing?" There are no official figures for the number of cases of sexual abuse and grooming within the Asian community, and the Crown Prosecution Service does not record the ethnicities of the women in the cases that come to them. But because of the culture of honour and shame protecting these cases, only a very small proportion are even reported to the authorities.

Asian - as well as white - girls are being groomed for sex by Asian men in Rotherham, victim support groups say.
