Badminton player killed in Thailand moped crash

An England team badminton player was killed in Thailand when her friend drove their moped into the path of a truck, an inquest heard.

Rebecca Shaw, 32, from Huddersfield, was on her way to swim with elephants when the crash happened in Phuket in December 2015. Her friend, Julie Robinson, escaped with minor injuries. Bradford Coroner's Court heard the exact details of the crash were unclear due to conflicting witness accounts. Coroner Martin Fleming said the driver of the Toyota pick-up truck, Natthaphon Klomkhan, told police he was driving at approximately 60kph (37.5mph) when the moped drove from a side road, across a four-lane carriageway, and directly in front of his vehicle. Mr Klomkhan said he braked, sounded his horn and flashed his lights but was unable to avoid hitting the bike. Ms Robinson, who did not attend the inquest, said she checked before driving across the road, and claimed the truck was being driven at excessive speeds, and had failed to take evasive action. In an email sent by Ms Robinson to the coroner in July, she said: "He just drove straight into the back of the scooter, sending both of us flying through the air at some height." Describing the aftermath of the crash, Ms Robinson described blood pouring out of her friend's mouth when her head hit a metal barrier. She was twice resuscitated at the scene but died later in hospital, the inquest heard. Mr Fleming said photographs of the scene showed Ms Robinson's view would have been obscured and that crossing the carriageway would have left little margin for error. He said it was unclear whether the truck driver was going too fast. The inquest also heard police in Thailand had considered charging Ms Robinson in connection with the incident. The coroner ruled Ms Shaw, who was wearing a helmet, died as a result of head injuries sustained in a road traffic collision. She played for the England national team 10 times and was described by her family as a "real-life angel".

In pictures: India's coal miners

India is the world's third largest coal producing nation and coal supplies 60% of the country's energy needs, but the coal industry is poorly regulated. Arindam Mukherjee photographs some coal miners going about their work in eastern India.

The coal-rich region in India includes huge swathes of eastern states like Orissa, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh, and pockets in the central and southern parts of the country. Most miners spend their days tunnelling, digging and extracting coal from the mines. Here, a group of miners are at work in a mine in West Bengal state's Raniganj district. Each group is led by a sardar (chief) who is responsible for the work of his group. More than half of India's commercial energy needs are met by coal. It is the main fuel for generating power and making steel and cement. But mining is also a major factor in environment pollution, emitting smoke and noxious gases. Many of the miners also suffer from lung diseases caused due to inhaling coal dust throughout the day. Coal mining can be a very hazardous activity and hundreds of miners have died over the years in accidents in mines. Poor maintenance of the mines is a major factor behind frequent accidents. Once underground, the only way a miner can communicate with the outside world is by using an intercom. Sunita Devi's husband Santraj Prasad was killed along with 25 others in February 2001 when the Bagdigi colliery in Jharkhand was flooded. She now works as a guard at a mine officer's bungalow in the nearby town of Jharia. Here, she sits at her home with her late husband's photograph and one of her children. Miner Salim Ansari was the lone survivor of the Bagdigi disaster in which 26 of his colleagues died. He was trapped in an underground air pocket for seven days until rescue workers found him and brought him out. Lakhan Tanti works as a loader at the government-owned Coal India Limited mine in Ranigunj in West Bengal. He says the company is now hiring contractual labourers instead of salaried employees to cut costs. Coal mines, like this one in the state of Jharkhand, have multiple floors where excavation takes place and often operate 24 hours a day. Here, a group of miners are going deep inside an underground mine to begin work. Female labourers are hired to clean and collect coal near the railway line in Bailbandh colliery in Ranigunj. The women are mostly dependents of deceased miners and are employed on humanitarian grounds after the death of their husbands.

Gulnara Karimova: Uzbekistan ex-leader's daughter jailed

The daughter of Uzbekistan's late president Islam Karimov has been sent to prison for allegedly violating the terms of her five-year house arrest.

Gulnara Karimova repeatedly used the internet and left her flat, which she was banned from doing, prosecutors say. In 2017 Ms Karimova was sentenced to 10 years in jail for fraud and money laundering but that was commuted last year to house arrest. She was once a diplomat and pop singer who was tipped to succeed her father. Ms Karimova lived at her daughter's flat in the Uzbek capital, Tashkent. Her Swiss lawyer, Grégoire Mangeat, said on Twitter that the 46-year-old had been "forcibly removed" from the flat on Tuesday afternoon and taken to an unknown location. "We, her defence counsels, denounce these totally arbitrary methods," said Mr Mangeat. "For several months now, we have been unsuccessfully asking the Office of the Attorney General in Switzerland to commit an expert to establish the absence of the rule of law in Uzbekistan." Images posted on Instagram Stories by Ms Karimova's daughter Iman showed a woman in a short blue robe and pink slippers being dragged out of an apartment by two men. Mr Mangeat also posted the picture online, saying she had been taken to an unknown place. On Tuesday, a Tashkent court ruled that Ms Karimova must serve the remainder of her term in prison, prosecutors said in a statement. They allege that she used forbidden communications methods, including the internet; left the flat; and failed to pay the state compensation. Ms Karimova was once a prominent figure in Uzbek politics who held the posts of ambassador to Spain and permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, and was tipped to succeed her father, Islam Karimov, as president. She also had her own jewellery line, ran an entertainment television channel and released pop singles under the name Googoosha. But she reportedly fell out with her father and family in 2014 and shortly after she was detained by security forces. She was not seen in public for years and when her father, an authoritarian leader who ran Uzbekistan for 27 years, died in September 2016, she did not attend the funeral. Prosecutors accused her of being part of a criminal group that controlled assets of more than $1bn (£760m) in 12 countries, including the UK, Russia and United Arab Emirates. Then-prime minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev took over as president after the death of Islam Karimov in 2016. Read more

Mexico violence: Four killed in Cancun gunfight

An attack on the government offices in the Mexican beach resort of Cancun has left four people dead, officials say.

Police intervened after gunmen opened fire at the Quintana Roo state attorneys' office. TV showed footage in which intense gunfire could be heard. One policeman and three suspected attackers died, governor Carlos Joaquin said. Five suspects were arrested. Mr Joaquin described the attack as a reaction by gangsters to his crackdown on organised crime. It happened one day after a gunman killed five people in a club in the nearby resort city of Playa del Carmen. In that incident, Mr Joaquim said the attacker and one of the victims, a man from Veracruz, had a "personal conflict". A Canadian, an Italian and a US citizen were among the dead. It was not clear if the two attacks were related, officials said. Gunfire erupted during the attack in Cancun on Tuesday, causing panic on the streets, witnesses said. A shopping centre was evacuated by security forces after people described hearing gunfire inside. But officials later said it was a false alarm. Security checkpoints were set up near Cancun's hotel area, some 7km (4 miles) from where the attack happened, local media reported. The US consulate in Merida urged Americans to follow local authorities' warnings and consult with their hotels before leaving the premises. Federal forces would be sent to help the local authorities, the governor said, without giving details of how many gunmen were involved in the attack. Speaking on television in the evening, Mr Joaquin added: "The state is under control and in order...People from Cancun and our visitors can go about their lives as normal." Quintana Roo, an area popular with foreign tourists, has long been spared from the drug-related violence that afflicts other parts of Mexico.

Covid-19: Another new variant added to UK watch list

Scientists have identified 16 cases of another new variant of coronavirus in the UK.

Public Health England has designated it as a 'variant under investigation' (VUI), meaning it is on their watch list, but not one they are immediately concerned about. It has a mutation in common with the South Africa and Brazil variants. That change, E484K, may help the virus evade some immunity from vaccination or prior infection, experts believe. The cases were first identified on 15 February by the UK's variant surveillance system. Experts suspect it originated in the UK. All 16 individuals who tested positive, and their contacts, have been traced and advised to isolate. PHE said the cases were geographically spread across the UK. And it confirmed that surge or mass testing would not be necessary - this is only done for variants of concern (VOC), such as the Brazil one. The UK now has 8 variants on its watch list - 4 VUIs and 4 VOCs. Most recently, officials had been trying to track down a person in England known to have been infected with the Brazil VOC. The search was narrowed to 379 households in the south of England, and the case was traced to Croydon. Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said incidents like this are rare and only occur in around 0.1% of tests. It's not unexpected that variants are appearing or that the virus will continue to change. All viruses mutate as they make new copies of themselves to spread and thrive. But some changes may affect how well current vaccines work. Scientists are looking at tweaking coronavirus vaccines to keep pace with the new, emerging variants to ensure that they continue to offer high protection against the disease as the virus mutates. The UK's drug regulator the MHRA has said new vaccines can be fast-tracked through the approval system without "lengthy" clinical studies.

Jaclyn Hill promises lipstick refunds to fans after 'contamination'

Beauty YouTuber Jaclyn Hill has promised to refund everyone who bought one of her lipsticks, after some appeared contaminated.

She said on Instagram on Sunday that everyone would receive a full refund, even if they hadn't complained. Since she launched them at the end of May, social media has been flooded with complaints about their quality. Some reported they opened the $18 (£14) lipsticks to find hairs, holes and plastic balls embedded in the formula. This includes YouTuber Alexandra, who says hers contained shards of metal. She runs the channel Pretty Pastel Please and the video of her unboxing the lipsticks has been viewed nearly a million times. "I purchased the lipsticks the moment they launched online, feeling really excited to receive them," she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat. "I loved the look of the packaging and purchased the entire collection so that I could swatch and review it on my YouTube channel, and paid $315 (£250) in total including shipping." Alexandra says it took 20 days for the lipsticks to arrive and by that time she'd already seen loads of videos online of people saying the lipsticks were contaminated. "I didn't want to believe it but, sure enough when I received mine the very first lipstick that I unboxed had a hair sticking right out the top," she says. "One by one I opened the lipsticks and, of the 19 that I opened, only four didn't show visible signs of contaminants. Alexandra says that when she swiped the lipsticks on paper - not feeling comfortable to use them on her lips - she found "a cocktail of contaminants including hair, plastic, gritty balls and even three shards of metal in the shade Sophia". Jaclyn addressed the issues Alexandra mentions, and other concerns about how old the lipsticks were, in a YouTube video two weeks after the launch. She reassured customers that the lipsticks were not hazardous to use and didn't contain anything that could cause infections. She then promised to send new products to everyone affected and offered refunds to people who were unhappy. Alexandra received a refund after emailing the company with pictures of her lipsticks, but says that's not the problem - she thinks the products need recalling for safety reasons and has sent them off to a lab to get them tested. "I'm extremely upset that Jaclyn Hill has not recalled her lipsticks," she says. "I found three very sharp shards of metal, and I have also seen other posts online showing that other people have found metal as well, and it leads me to believe that the products are extremely dangerous. "Had I used the shade Sophia without inspecting it first, I would have sliced my lip open. "Given the fact that I also found dark black hairs in the same lipstick, the contaminated product could have easily carried bacteria, which could lead to an infection." Jaclyn Hill says she is now getting the products tested in a lab to see where the contamination has come from. Newsbeat has contacted her company for comment.

Grenfell survivors project messages on 'unsafe' tower blocks

Campaigners have projected messages on to high-rises across England saying they are unsafe, ahead of the two-year anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire.

Survivors group Grenfell United put the messages on buildings in Salford, Newcastle and London. One projection says: "2 years after Grenfell and this building is still covered in dangerous cladding." The government said it had made £600m of funding available to replace combustible cladding on high-rises. It expected the work - on both private and social housing homes - to be completed "as soon as possible", it said. In Newcastle, the projection on to Cruddas Park House, which is a 25 storey block for people over 50, says: "2 years after Grenfell and the fire doors in this building still don't work". Newcastle City Council said it had invested over £9m in fire safety measures across the borough and that "the safety of customers is our number one priority". The projection on to the NV building in Salford, which has 246 flats, says it is "still covered in dangerous cladding" which is not covered by the government's cladding removal fund. The developer of the building told the BBC "an urgent investigation is ongoing". And the projection in London appears on Frinstead House, a 20-storey block a stone's throw away from Grenfell Tower. It says the block has no sprinklers. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council, which took over management of the high-rise in March last year, said its staff had met residents to talk about sprinklers and other fire safety measures. It said there was a fire safety programme under way across its borough and it was "seeking clear guidance and recommendations from central government on fire safety systems". Grenfell United said it is calling for tower blocks across the UK to be "made safe, and for residents to be listened to and treated with respect". It says they want to see safe fire doors, sprinklers in blocks to keep fire escapes clear, and for all dangerous cladding to be removed. Natasha Elcock, chairman of Grenfell United and a survivor from the tower, said: "It's been two years since Grenfell and people are still going to bed at night worried that a fire like Grenfell could happen to them." The campaigners are calling for the government to introduce a new separate housing regulator to put "residents concerns over profits of housing associations". Karim Mussilhy, vice-chairman of Grenfell United, and who lost his uncle in the fire, said although their message is simple they "needed the biggest possible platform to make them [the government] listen". Mr Mussilhy said residents were raising concerns, but being ignored. "That's what happened to residents in Grenfell before the fire. We have to change the culture in social housing so people are treated with respect." he continued. He has also urged the next prime minister to be "on the right side of history" and to prioritise dealing with the tragedy when they take office. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said in a statement: "The Government has banned combustible materials in the external walls of new high-rise homes and guidance requires that sprinklers must be installed in new buildings above 30 metres. "Building owners are ultimately responsible for the safety of the building and it is for them to decide whether to retro-fit sprinklers."

Gallipoli centenary: Prince Charles meets veterans' relatives

The Prince of Wales has paid tribute to the "heroism and humanity" of those who fought in Gallipoli, one of World War One's bloodiest campaigns, at a centenary ceremony in Turkey.

Prince Charles and Prince Harry also met relatives of Gallipoli veterans. They joined leaders from Australia, New Zealand and Turkey - which all lost thousands of troops - at memorials. About 131,000 - made up of 45,000 Allied forces and 86,000 from Turkey - died in the campaign. The fatalities included about 25,000 British military personnel, 10,000 from France and 10,000 from Australia and New Zealand. The series of events in Turkey - to mark the 100th anniversary of the landings on the peninsula of Gallipoli - included an international ceremony and a Commonwealth and Irish commemoration. A separate service also marked France's participation. Prince Charles and Prince Harry met 15 relatives of Gallipoli veterans on board HMS Bulwark, the Royal Navy's flagship. At the international ceremony, Prince Charles said everyone had a "shared duty" to overcome intolerance and fight prejudice "so we can truly say we have honoured the sacrifice of all those who have fought and died here on the battlefield at Gallipoli and elsewhere." At the Commonwealth and Ireland service at Cape Helles, Prince Charles read an extract from John Masefield's book Gallipoli. Wreaths were laid by representatives including Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and New Zealand Prime Minister John Key. The President of Ireland, Michael Higgins, also attended. What was Gallipoli? Why Gallipoli is still commemorated in Australia and New Zealand on Anzac Day World War One's forgotten Anzacs: The Indigenous Army Ben Goddard, 37, travelled to Turkey to honour his great-grandfather Pte Alfred William Goddard, of 2nd Hampshire Regiment, who landed on V Beach on 25 April 1915. He was hit on the elbow by shrapnel 11 days later, but survived the fighting. Mr Goddard, from Ropley in Hampshire, said: "So many men fought and did not come back. That should be remembered, whether the campaign was a disaster or not." Hugh Gillespie, 72, from North Yorkshire, made the journey in memory of his grandfather, Lt Col Franklin Gillespie, who was killed by a sniper while leading a raid. "Our soldiers behaved so exceptionally and fought extremely well in difficult conditions. I think it is an object lesson in making sure the strategy is right in the first place," he said. The events are commemorating the World War One campaign when Allied forces landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in modern-day western Turkey - then part of the Ottoman Empire - in April 1915. However, the invasion failed, with the Allied forces unable to advance more than a few miles inland. A bloody stalemate ensued which lasted until Allied troops evacuated the peninsula in January 1916. With the sun glinting off the water and lush forests dotting the peninsula, it's hard to imagine the horror that engulfed Gallipoli a century ago. Over nine months, the beaches became bloodbaths as Allied forces attempted their failed invasion. The anniversary is being marked by several ceremonies to remember the thousands of victims. We were on board HMS Bulwark as Prince Charles and Prince Harry met descendants of the soldiers, hearing of heroism and the intense fighting in 1915, when troops were gunned down even before their boats landed on the beaches. Joining the royals at the ceremonies are the prime ministers of Australia and New Zealand, for whose countries Gallipoli marked the birth of their national consciousness - fighting in major warfare for the first time as independent nations. Leading the ceremonies: the president of Turkey, which emerged from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire under Ataturk, a brilliant Gallipoli commander. It's a campaign remembered for different reasons by all sides. Events will continue in Turkey on Saturday with services for Anzac Day, which is widely marked in Australia and New Zealand. In London, the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh - who is patron of the Gallipoli Association - and Prince William will be joined by senior government and military figures to lay wreaths at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Correction: An earlier version of this story stated that 35,000 British military personnel had died in the Gallipoli campaign, rather than 25,000.

Catalan referendum: 'Hundreds hurt' as police try to stop voters

Catalan emergency officials say 761 people have been injured as police used force to try to block voting in Catalonia's independence referendum.

The Spanish government had pledged to stop a poll that was declared illegal by the country's constitutional court. Police officers prevented some people from voting, and seized ballot papers and boxes at polling stations. In the regional capital Barcelona, police used batons and fired rubber bullets during pro-referendum protests. Speaking soon after the polls closed at 20:00 local time (18:00 GMT), Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said Catalans had been fooled into taking part in an illegal vote. The Spanish interior ministry said 12 police officers had been hurt and three people arrested. It added that 92 polling stations had been closed. The national police and Guardia Civil - a paramilitary force charged with police duties - were sent into Catalonia in large numbers to prevent the vote from taking place. While Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau condemned police actions against what she called the region's "defenceless" population, Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said police had "acted with professionalism and in a proportionate way". One voter, Júlia Graell, told the BBC that "police started to kick people, young and old", adding: "Today, I have seen the worst actions that a government can do to the people of its own country." In Girona, riot police smashed their way into a polling station where Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont was due to vote, and forcibly removed those looking to place their ballots. Mr Puigdemont was able to vote at another polling station. The BBC's Tom Burridge, in Barcelona, witnessed police being chased away from one polling booth after they had raided it. Since Friday, thousands of people have occupied schools and other buildings designated as polling stations in order to keep them open. Many of those inside were parents and their children, who remained in the buildings after the end of lessons on Friday and bedded down in sleeping bags on gym mats. In some areas, farmers positioned tractors on roads and in front of polling station doors, and school gates were taken away to make it harder for the authorities to seal buildings off. Firefighters acted as human shields between police and demonstrators. Referendum organisers had called for peaceful resistance to any police action. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona's match against Las Palmas was played behind closed doors, after Barcelona said the football league refused to suspend the game. Catalonia, a wealthy region of 7.5 million people in north-eastern Spain, has its own language and culture. It also has a high degree of autonomy, but is not recognised as a separate nation under the Spanish constitution. Pressure for a vote on self-determination has grown over the past five years. But Spanish unionists argue Catalonia already enjoys broad autonomy within Spain, along with other regions like the Basque Country and Galicia. Mr Rajoy says the vote goes against the constitution, which refers to "the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation, the common and indivisible homeland of all Spaniards". Central government spokesman Iñigo Mendez de Vigo accused the Catalan government of being inflexible and one-sided, but it is a charge that Catalan nationalists have thrown back at Madrid itself. The Spanish government put policing in Catalonia under central control and ordered the regional force, the Mossos d'Esquadra, to help enforce the ban on the illegal referendum. Before the poll, Spanish authorities seized voting materials, imposed fines on top Catalan officials and temporarily detained dozens of politicians. Police have also occupied the regional government's telecommunications centre. Spain says a number of factors ensure the poll does not adhere to international standards: the Spanish interior minister said the computer system preventing people from voting twice was not working from Sunday morning. On top of that, any result would not be legally binding, as the poll had been blocked by the Constitutional Court. By Tom Burridge, BBC News, Barcelona The Spanish government has always said that it's the Spanish courts ordering the Spanish police to act. But their strategy of physically preventing people from voting has the potential to backfire hugely. Had you asked me 24 hours ago whether or not I thought it realistic that Catalonia's regional government would declare independence from Spain in the next few days I would have said probably not. But after the very ugly scenes we've seen across this city and this region today I think it is a very real possibility. If that happens then we're into the unknown.

SpaceX completes emergency crew escape manoeuvre

SpaceX has conducted a test of the abort manoeuvre it would use if one of its crew-carrying rockets ever developed a problem during flight.

The rehearsal at Kennedy Space Center saw a Falcon-9 vehicle's ascent into the sky deliberately terminated just 80 seconds after lift-off. The Dragon astronaut capsule on top fired its escape engines to carry itself clear of the "faulty" booster. Parachutes brought the vessel to a safe splashdown some 30km off Florida. No humans were involved in the practice abort; the only occupants of the Dragon ship were a couple of Anthropomorphic Test Devices, or "dummies". This was considered to be the last major milestone for California's SpaceX company before the US space agency (Nasa) certifies the firm to carry astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) later this year. Nasa has contracted both SpaceX and the aerospace giant Boeing to take over routine transportation of astronauts to low-Earth orbit. Not since the retirement of the space shuttles in 2011 have American crews been able to launch from American soil. The apparently flawless in-flight abort demonstrated on Sunday should bring this long hiatus to close, perhaps by early summer. SpaceX had promised the escape manoeuvre would be spectacular, and so it proved. As the Dragon capsule fired its escape engines, the Falcon booster underneath lost aerodynamic stability, broke apart and exploded in a huge ball of flame. But by then, the crew capsule was well away, continuing to climb skyward thanks to its powerful superDraco thrusters. Onboard video showed the Dragon drop its service-module segment, or "trunk", before releasing two drogue parachutes. Four main chutes then emerged. These 35m-wide envelopes lowered Dragon into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean a little over nine minutes after the Falcon's lift-off. Teams from SpaceX and the US Air Force were stationed offshore to begin the recovery of the capsule and bring it back to land. Company CEO Elon Musk lauded everyone involved in the test and marvelled at some of the day's statistics: "The peak velocity of Dragon during abort was more than double the speed of sound, Mach 2.2, and achieved an altitude of 40km, 131,000ft. These are exciting specs, for [Dragon] to have gone to three times the altitude of a typical airliner," he told reporters. The importance of having an effective abort capability was underlined by the 2018 experience of Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin and Nasa flight engineer Nick Hague. They were on a routine journey to the ISS when their Soyuz rocket damaged itself two minutes into the ascent. The men only escaped death because their capsule also had an emergency system to pull the vessel to safety. It will be recalled also that the Challenger space shuttle in 1986 had no such escape capability and all seven crew members died when the orbiter began to break up 72 seconds into its mission. Nick Hague tweeted after watching Sunday's demonstration: "Trust me... surviving a rocket failure by way of a successful abort system made today's test personal. Thank you @SpaceX & @usairforce Guardian Angels!" Both SpaceX and Boeing were supposed to make their "astronaut taxi services" available in 2017, but the companies have had to grapple with - and overcome - some tricky technical challenges. SpaceX, for example, saw one of its capsules explode on a testbed in April last year. And Boeing, which calls its crew capsule Starliner, hit trouble on an uncrewed dummy run to the space station last month. The Starliner experienced an anomaly immediately after launch that led it to waste fuel reserves, leaving it short of the propellant necessary to reach the orbiting outpost. All that said, it seems likely both SpaceX and Boeing will get to debut crewed flights in the coming months. Nasa has selected shuttle veterans Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to make the first Dragon crewed flight. Mr Musk said their capsule would be at Kennedy shortly and could be ready to fly before July. But Nasa Administrator Jim Bridenstine said the "go for launch" for Hurley and Behnken might depend on how long the agency wanted the men to stay on the space station. "Do we want that first crew to be a short duration (mission)? Or do we want it to be a longer duration? If it's going to be a longer duration, then we have to have some additional training for our astronauts to actually be prepared to do things on the International Space Station that we weren't planning to have that initial test crew necessarily do."

Commonwealth Games: Birmingham to build 2022 Games Village

A village accommodating up to 6,500 athletes and officials is to be built for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

In December, Birmingham was named host city for the £750m showpiece - the most expensive sports event to be held in Britain since the London Olympics. The Games Village in Perry Barr will include about 1,000 homes, dining areas, transport and services. Birmingham City Council said it would be a "catalyst" for projects bringing up to 3,000 homes to the area. Midlands Live: Birmingham's flights to Tunisia resume; West Brom sack chairman and chief exec After the Games, the accommodation - a mix of apartments and town houses - is due to be converted to homes for sale and rent, including social and affordable housing. Ian Ward, leader of the Labour-run council, said the village's development would help rejuvenate the north west of the city, creating a "meaningful and lasting legacy" for residents. "We have a desperate need for high-quality housing in the city and it would have been much trickier to meet that demand if we had not been successful in our bid to host the Games," he said. 2022 host city in 60 seconds What could Birmingham offer 2022 visitors? Shooting dropped from the Games Seven reasons city's Olympic bid failed Perry Barr councillor Jon Hunt said it was "crucial" people in the area, which has faced housing, employment and deprivation problems, felt the Games were delivering something for them. "It is important we work together with the organisers to secure the legacy we deserve at a grassroots level," he said. A public meeting about the event will be held at Alexander Stadium at 19:00 GMT on Thursday. Mr Hunt added: "Perry Barr will be hosting thousands of people from all over the world for the Games. We want it to be a warm Brummie welcome."

Fake vodka 'can kill you' warning to Christmas shoppers

Christmas shoppers trying to save money are being warned to look out for counterfeit alcohol, which can seriously damage health.

Trading standards say it may contain chemicals such as chloroform or industrial alcohol, which can affect eyesight, or in extreme cases, kill. Seizures of counterfeit vodka in some areas doubled over the last year. Typically it is sold in corner shops where unscrupulous owners sell it from underneath the counter. It has also been found on sale in nightclubs. "I was silly enough to buy some stuff from under the counter, which was clearly not a proper manufactured product," admits Alex Kohnert, a student at Sheffield University. "I have friends who've suffered from temporary blindness, in one case, but also quite bad stomach pains," he told the BBC. Trading Standards staff in Sheffield have been particularly aggressive in trying to tackle the problem. Since April this year they have found 2,300 bottles of illicit alcohol, mostly vodka. That is double the amount they found last year, which in turn was double what they found in 2011. Usually it contains alcohols used in cleaning fluids or antifreeze. As a result, such bottles can contain up to 57% alcohol. "It's not tested. There's no quality control," says Ian Ashmore of Trading Standards. "These are often criminals that are manufacturing this. They're not concerned about the consumer's health. So it can contain virtually anything," he says. In once recent case, a shopkeeper in the Richmond area of Sheffield was fined £582, including costs, for keeping 674 bottles of counterfeit vodka under the counter. The council called the fine derisory. The problem is now becoming apparent elsewhere across the country too. In August, a nightclub in Leeds was fined for stocking vodka containing chloroform, an anaesthetic which can make you feel dizzy, and even cause a drinker to lose consciousness. In September, HMRC seized 13,000 litres of counterfeit vodka in Scotland, one of the largest such seizures ever. It was being transported from Belfast and the lorry was intercepted as it left the ferry at Cairnryan. In December 2013, the owner of a nightclub in Chelmsford was fined after selling fake Smirnoff which he had bought from a van just outside the club. Doctors warn that any fake alcohol which contains methanol can be particularly dangerous. Dr Sarah Jarvis, who advises the organisation Drinkaware, says it can cause nerve damage, giving the victim symptoms of Parkinson's disease. "You can lose your eyesight; you can lose your ability to walk like a normal person; you can lose your life," she told the BBC. Spotting a fake is not always easy. Most illegal manufacturers try and imitate the UK duty paid stamp, although often it is the wrong size. One bottle of vodka we saw claimed to come from an area called "Russia-Berlin", which ought to ring alarm bells. Others had spelling mistakes, wonky labels, and even sediment in the bottle. But some bottles looked exactly like their genuine counterparts, such as Smirnoff or Selekt. Some had an extremely pungent aroma. Price is another good indicator. The duty and VAT alone on a legitimate 70cl bottle of vodka total £8.89. "So if you see a bottle on sale for any less than £9.50, I would be inspecting it," said Ken Webb, an enforcement officer with Trading Standards. Becca Barnes, a welfare officer at Sheffield University, is particularly concerned about students who tank themselves up early in the evening. "We've had students who've started drinking before a night out," she says. "Our advice is to look carefully at the prices as you shop." Drinkware advises shoppers to think of four 'Ps':

Coronavirus: Dementia patients 'deteriorating' without family visits

Relatives of care home residents with dementia should be treated as key workers, leading charities say.

In a letter to the health secretary, they write that the care given by family members is "essential" to residents' mental and physical health. They argue the current limits on visitors have had "damaging consequences". They want visits to resume safely, with relatives given the same access to care homes and coronavirus testing as staff. Signed by the bosses of leading charities including Dementia UK and the Alzheimer's Society, the letter calls on the government to "urgently" address what it calls the "hidden catastrophe" happening in care homes. A spokesman for the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has told the BBC it will be setting out further details "shortly" on how it can "carefully and safely" allow visiting in care homes. In April, the DHSC said in a document that all "family and friends should be advised not to visit care homes, except next of kin in exceptional situations such as end of life". The charities say that this "enforced separation" has caused a "deterioration" in residents' mental and physical health, particularly for those living with dementia - who make up more than 70% of the population of care homes. They argue that family carers remain "essential members of the residents' care and support network", in providing practical services as well as being their "advocates, voice and memory", and "keeping them connected to the world". They are calling on Health Secretary Matt Hancock to publish detailed guidance on care home visits, and grant certain relatives and friends the same "key worker" status as members of staff - which would allow them the same access to care homes and coronavirus testing. During the pandemic, there have been 5,404 excess deaths - an increase of 52.2% compared with the five-year average - of people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease in England and Wales, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Rosie's mother has severe dementia and lives in a care home. For months she couldn't visit, but when she did, two weeks ago, Rosie was shocked. Her mother was "quite slumped over in her wheelchair". It took her a long time to respond. Rosie could see she'd changed a lot. Worse still, in the last fortnight her mother has stopped eating, refusing to open her mouth when care home workers try to feed her. Rosie is now worried that she might refuse liquids too, and die. Rosie is relieved that the health secretary is promising guidance to allow visits - but also concerned that it may limit how these can happen. Before coronavirus hit, Rosie's mother had visits every day from family or friends. They would sit with her for at least an hour, talking to her. Rosie would sing Motown songs which her mother loves. "Her face would light up, she'd try to sing along" she said. Sometimes she brought food, or would take her out of the home. She liked going to the pub. Now that her mother is so much worse, Rosie would like to be treated in the same way as a paid care worker, to be allowed into the home and sit with her mother. She would be tested for Covid-19, and wear personal protective equipment (PPE). This is something leading dementia charities are saying must made possible under new guidance. "I'm her voice, her advocate" Rosie says. "I should be with her. I've only got one mother. I'm not prepared to let her die without me there". In the letter, the charities say the "inconsistency" of the visiting guidance across the UK nations is causing "additional confusion and stress" for providers and family members. In Scotland, care homes that are virus-free for 28 days were able to accept visitors from 3 July. In Northern Ireland, as of Monday, care homes that are free from the virus can allow one person to visit at a time, with a second person accommodated "where possible". In Wales, visits have been allowed to care homes and their residents since 1 June, provided they take place outside and 2m social distancing rules and hygiene procedures are followed. Care England, which represents most of the independent providers, says new guidance in England is essential - and it is "not right to keep people with care and support needs locked down indefinitely". Nicci Gerrard is the co-founder of John's Campaign and has also signed the group letter. The campaign was set up after her father, Dr John Gerrard - who had Alzheimer's disease - died in November 2014, following a stay in hospital without people he knew to closely care for him. She describes the effect of the lockdown as a "slow-motion catastrophe" that hasn't been fully recognised yet. Ms Gerrard says: "We have received hundreds of messages from family carers who used to go in regularly and who are desperate about what is happening." She says for many residents, family members are "their link to the outside world; they're their voice, and their memory". 'One Dementia Voice', the UK's leading dementia organisations led by John's Campaign and the Alzheimer's Society said it welcomed Mr Hancock's response to the group's letter, but added it needed to see the "detail", including whether designated family carers would be given key worker status. A spokeswoman said it was vital family carers get the same "safe, regular and repeated testing that key workers do, so they can get back in to care homes safely and give the care for their loved ones with dementia that no one else can". Despite the lack of guidance, many homes in England have been allowing visits from relatives, but usually only once a week per person and for very limited amounts of time. They check visitors' temperatures, question them and insist that meetings take place outside, with at least a 2m distance between residents and visitors.

Russia says US missile system breaches nuclear INF treaty

Russia's foreign ministry says US activation of a European missile defence shield in Romania, scheduled for Thursday, violates a treaty on nuclear forces.

A ministry statement quoted by Interfax news agency said it was a breach of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed in 1987. The US says the Aegis system is a shield to protect Nato from long-range missiles and is no threat to Russia. Romania is hosting part of the system. A ceremony will be held at a Nato airfield in Deveselu, southern Romania, on Thursday to mark the start of Aegis operations there. "This decision is harmful and mistaken, because it is capable of upsetting strategic stability," said Mikhail Ulyanov, head of the Russian foreign ministry's department for proliferation and arms control issues. Nato and US officials say the system has been developed to track and intercept missiles fired from a "rogue" state. In the past Iran was mentioned in that context, but the US has also had North Korea in mind. For years the US has been testing the Aegis system on warships too. An incoming missile would be destroyed in space, before it could re-enter the Earth's atmosphere. On Friday another phase of the project will be launched in Poland, with a groundbreaking ceremony at Redzikowo, near the Baltic Sea. Aegis missiles are to become operational there in 2018. Mr Ulyanov said Russia's interests "are being affected in a direct way by this". He said the Americans' MK-41 launch system could also be used to fire cruise missiles, not just air defence missiles. "From our viewpoint this is a violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty," he said.

Smartphone consultations with GPs in digital health plan

Patients will be able to consult with their GP using a smartphone and monitor their conditions via mobile apps, as part of a Welsh government strategy.

There will be more opportunity to book appointments online while people will be able to access their health records over the internet. NHS staff will also be expected to use mobile devices to access, collect and transmit data quickly. Plaid Cymru welcomed the plan, but warned it would take time to introduce. Ministers want to put digital technology "at the heart" of NHS care. Under the five-year strategy, people in Wales can expect to: Free Wi-Fi will also be made available at all NHS Wales hospital sites for patients, visitors and staff to use. Launching the new strategy, Health Minister Mark Drakeford said digital technology was now "an important part of our everyday lives". "Our vision is for more interactive, personalised health and social services, allowing people to access services wherever and whenever it's convenient to them." He said patients are often the experts in their own conditions and giving them more control over their care and access to their records could help improve their health. Tony Rucinski, chief executive of the Board of Community Health Councils, which look after the interests of patients, called the strategy's aspirations "really exciting", but said getting "an awful lot of different organisations" to work together on it would be a "challenge". "We've got dense population bases, we've got rural communities, we've got challenges where people find it difficult to access healthcare, there are ideas and technologies out there that could transform that, free up resources and get the whole thing working so much better, that's got to be a good thing," he said. Plaid Cymru AM Llyr Gruffydd urged ministers to make clear it would take a "long, long time" to make such changes, although he added they would ultimately mean a "more effective service" for patients. Conservative Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar said: "Anything that improves access to GPs and other medical services is desperately needed in Wales but outcomes will only improve if the services are there in the first place."

What it means to be female in Nigeria

What does it mean to be female in Nigeria? Women in Nigeria are using a hashtag on Twitter to share their experiences of everyday gender discrimination.

It started with a small book club meeting in the capital of Abuja on Sunday. Its members were discussing Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "We Should All Be Feminists", based on the writer's popular talk. "We started describing our own experiences and challenges and thought we should bring the discussion to a larger group," says the book club's Florence Warmate. The area sales manager began to tweet her thoughts with the hashtag #BeingFemaleinNigeria, and soon the timeline flooded with other women sharing the unique situations they face because of their gender. The hashtag, which has been mentioned more than 80,000 times on Twitter, has been used by both women and men to debate gender identity and describe how women face sexism in their workplace, public places and even in their homes. "#BeingfemaleinNigeria is being told countless times that I will never find a husband because I am 'too ambitious' and outspoken," said one tweet. Several tweets explained how they had to deal with gender stereotypes at work or being judged even based on the kind of vehicle they drove.

But stereotype of Nigerian men by women will overshadow your efforts." Warmate clarifies her trend is not meant to put men down. "This is about gender equality. It's about how if a man did the same thing we did, no-one would ask him anything," she tells Trending. "It's not male bashing. It's not feminism." When asked why she thinks the trend is not linked to feminism, she explained that feminism is a broad subject with different definitions for different people, and it can be associated with a 'negative agenda'. The conversation that started in Nigeria has resonated with women across the world and has sprouted posts about what it means to be women in other African countries like Ghana, and also Bangladesh. "Hashtags #BeingFemaleInGhana #beingfemaleinZimbabwe #BeingFemaleInNigeria just show that it's tough being a woman. Simple. But we're strong!," summarised one user.

German reunification architect Helmut Kohl dies at 87

Helmut Kohl, Germany's ex-chancellor and architect of reunification in 1990, has died at 87.

Kohl led Germany for 16 years (from 1982 to 1998). He is credited with bringing East and West Germany together after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Together with his French ally President Francois Mitterrand, he was responsible for the introduction of the euro. European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker has ordered flags at EU institutions to be flown at half-mast. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Kohl's former protegee who later called for his resignation over a political funding scandal, said his death filled her with deep sadness. "Helmut Kohl's efforts brought about the two greatest achievements in German politics of recent decades - German reunification and European unity," she said. "Helmut Kohl understood that the two things were inseparable." For his part, Mr Juncker said in a tweet: "Helmut's death hurts me deeply." "My mentor, my friend, the very essence of Europe, he will be greatly, greatly missed," he added. Former US President George HW Bush paid tribute to the man he knew while in office from 1989 to 1993 as a "true friend of freedom" and "one of the greatest leaders in post-war Europe". Kohl suffered a bad fall in 2008 and had been using a wheelchair. He died at his house in Ludwigshafen, in the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate, Bild newspaper reports. Kohl, who led the centre-right Christian Democrats, was the longest-serving chancellor of the 20th Century. A passionate believer in European integration, he persuaded Germans to give up their cherished deutschmark in favour of the European single currency. In the UK, he is remembered for his differences over the EU with the late UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In France, he is the German leader who held hands with Mitterrand at a service at the Verdun war memorial in 1984 to mark the 70th anniversary of World War One. But for Germans he is above all the man who reunified a country divided by the allied powers after World War Two, promising the people of the ex-communist East "flourishing landscapes", in unity with the richer West. Helmut Josef Michael Kohl was born on 3 April 1930 into a conservative, Catholic family. His political outlook was shaped by his experiences in his hometown of Ludwigshafen in the Rhineland during World War Two. Because of its huge chemical works, the town was heavily bombed and, at the age of 12, the young Helmut found himself helping to recover the charred bodies of his neighbours from the rubble. What he once described as "the blessing of a late birth" freed him from any taints of Nazism. READ ON Kohl fell from grace when a funding scandal under his leadership of the Christian Democrats came to light after he left office in 1998. Chancellor Merkel first entered government under Kohl's rule in 1991. But she publicly denounced him and called for his resignation when it was revealed the party had received millions of dollars worth of illegal donations using secret bank accounts. In 2011, in a series of interviews and statements, he spoke out against Mrs Merkel's policy of strict austerity to deal with the European debt crisis. Kohl's later life was also marked by personal tragedy. His wife, Hannelore, killed herself in July 2001 after suffering from a rare skin condition and depression.

UEFA to plant 50,000 trees in Republic of Ireland

The governing body of European football says it's going to plant 50,000 trees in the Republic of Ireland to offset emissions from people travelling to Euro 2020 matches.

The move is part of an UEFA climate action project. The body will plant 600,000 trees across the 12 host countries of the tournament. Euro 2020 will be spread across a dozen venues in Europe, including the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Other venues include Hampden Park in Glasgow and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Aleksander Čeferin, president of UEFA, said that there are many benefits of the tournaments, but that increased travel comes with a cost. "UEFA takes its responsibilities on this seriously and it is right that we offset the carbon emissions that causes," he said.

Burned Silicon Valley home's $800,000 price tag raises eyebrows

A Silicon Valley real estate agent is defending the price of a fire-ravaged home that is listed on the market for $800,000 (£565,000).

The San Jose house, which sits on a 5,800 sq ft lot in California's San Francisco Bay Area, was the site of a major fire two years ago. The listing, announced on the agent's Facebook page, quickly drew criticism. San Francisco housing prices have risen dramatically in recent years due to proximity to nearby technology firms. "Unchecked free market capitalism," one commenter complained. "Posting a dumpster with a roof in Facebook for 800,000 is begging to get trolled," another social media user wrote. But Willow Glen Charm real estate agent Holly Barr said the land is what makes the property so valuable, as well as its proximity to nearby technology companies such as Facebook and Google. "If you are in the market you know real estate you know that this is what it's worth and the buyers set the price," Ms Barr told KTVU-TV. She added that she has already received several offers, and predicts that a bidding war may break out soon. Rick Smith of Santa Clara County Association of Realtors told the station: "I'm not surprised at all." The median price for a single-family home in the area is $1.4 million, he noted. According to NBC News, houses in San Jose gain nearly $571 in value every day due to rising costs and fewer homes for sale in the area. Over a year, that equals over $200,000 in new equity, the news outlet reports. Sacred Heart Community Services spokesman Darren Seaton told the network that he fears that the high cost will hurt more than just homeowners' wallets. "A home looks like it makes more than a schoolteacher here in San Jose," Mr Seaton told NBC. "As housing continues to skyrocket, it's going to make it more difficult to survive in Silicon Valley." Where house prices rose fastest in 2017 Where can I afford to live?

Selfie mistakes: Sorry, but that is not a celebrity

Clean Bandit are Grace Chatto, Jack and Luke Patterson - but perhaps not everybody knows that or would recognise them if they met them.

That was definitely the case for MP Barry Gardiner when he "met" the band at a recent political event. He posed with who he thought were band members at this weekend's Labour Live. But rather than meeting members of the chart-topping band, he posed with some of their touring musicians instead. Twitter users were quick to point out that he had in fact met violinist Braimah Kanneh-Mason and vocalist Yasmin Green. Braimah and Yasmi perform with Clean Bandit at their live shows, so it's understandable that Barry thought they were part of the band. Barry was trolled for his mistake with photos of the real members and other photos which definitely did not contain Clean Bandit. It's an easy mistake to make, and Barry isn't the first and definitely won't be the last to make it. Emma marked the anniversary of when her friend Rebecca thought she bumped into one of the world's biggest pop stars. Spoiler: She didn't. But at least it seems like Rebecca was able to laugh at her mistake. It's one thing to think you've bumped into Maisie Williams. It's quite another when she's the one to point out your mistake. And this man blamed alcohol for why he thought he'd been hanging out with Chris Pratt. Tina Fey is one of America's best comedy writers and actors. This lady is someone else.

Thomas Jones: Second murder arrest over missing student

A second man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with a missing university student.

Thomas Jones, 18, from Bromsgrove has not been heard from since the early hours of Wednesday morning. A 20-year-old from Worcester is in police custody along with another man, also aged 20. Prior to the second arrest West Mercia Police shared CCTV images, of two men they wanted to speak to, recorded at the city's Velvet nightclub. Both men were arrested on Sunday. The force said it believed Mr Jones had crossed the Sabrina footbridge, which crosses the River Severn near to Worcester Racecourse, and then walked on to the footpath that runs along the top of the flood defences on Hylton Road in the direction of Hallow, just before 03:50 BST. Supt Damian Pettit said: "We are continuing the investigation with a number of lines of inquiry and will keep the community updated with developments in our continued investigation. "Thomas' family has been made aware of the updates and they are being supported by specially trained officers." As searches are ongoing, police have asked people to "kindly stay away" from the area to allow officers and divers to work "without distraction". They said there had been an "unprecedented response" to the case, with hundreds of volunteers supporting the investigation. Mr Jones was embarking on a primary teaching course at the University of Worcester and had only moved to the city on 16 September. His aunt, Jackie Rogers, said a "small army" was carrying out house-to-house inquiries in and around Hylton Road and was determined to "find our boy". Mrs Rogers said the teenager sent a Facebook message to a friend at 03:46, but no-one had heard from him since. Mr Jones was believed to have been wearing pale-coloured jeans, a navy blue, woollen zip-up Lacoste top and green shoes at the time of his disappearance. Appeals for information have also been made by West Bromwich Albion Football Club, where Mr Jones was a season ticket holder. Aston Villa FC have also publicised the search for him.

Big Wes namesake attends first Nottingham Forest match

An American man who became a Nottingham Forest fan after he was mistaken for a player online said it was "a dream come true" to attend his first game.

Wesley Hall, from Atlanta, and former Forest defender Wes Morgan, 31, are both known as Big Wes. Mr Hall's Twitter handle is @bigwes, and Forest fans mistakenly tweeted him four years ago to congratulate him on Morgan's 400th appearance for the club. He knew nothing about football at the time, but is now a diehard Reds fan. He watches and listens to games from across "the pond", but this was his first time seeing Forest in the flesh. "I said I wanted to be an honorary Forest fan," he told BBC Radio Nottingham. "When I said that, that's when the whole thing went absolutely wild and it's been like a rocket ship ever since." Mr Hall, who describes himself as a "digital analytics striker" on Twitter, was treated like a celebrity at the City Ground, with Forest fans eager to have photographs taken with him. "I shed a couple of tears walking in," he said. "It was overwhelming because ever since this whole thing started it's been really my desire to get here, to be amongst the people that I've grown to love, and now being here is actually a dream come true." Unfortunately he did not get a chance to meet the other Big Wes, as Wes Morgan now plays for Leicester City. However, Mr Hall was given the opportunity to take penalties at half-time during Forest's 1-0 defeat by Hull City on Saturday. He also had time to visit the statue of Forest's legendary manager Brian Clough during his trip to Nottingham. "It's been amazing seeing everybody that I've been corresponding to online," he said. "It's been absolute madness, non-stop. I've had a blast since I've been here."

"It was overwhelming because ever since this whole thing started it\'s been really my desire to get here, to be amongst the people that I\'ve grown to love, and now being here is actually a dream come true." Unfortunately he did not get a chance to meet the other Big Wes, as Wes Morgan now plays for Leicester City. However, Mr Hall was given the opportunity to take penalties at half-time during Forest\'s 1-0 defeat by Hull City on Saturday. He also had time to visit the statue of Forest\'s legendary manager Brian Clough during his trip to Nottingham. "It\'s been amazing seeing everybody that I\'ve been corresponding to online," he said. "It\'s been absolute madness, non-stop. I\'ve had a blast since I\'ve been here."`'}

The ballad of the Romanian shepherd

Shepherds have a special place in Romania's history and in its culture, and their lifestyle has not changed much in centuries - until now. Social media has turned at least one of them into a celebrity, writes Caroline Juler.

On a dank Monday evening some weeks ago, a Romanian shepherd called Ghita left home with his sheep. He wasn't in a lorry but on foot, accompanied by several angajati, or hired men, some shaggy dogs, and seven donkeys loaded with gear. Ghita was off on his autumn transhumance, heading north for his winter pastures. It would take him six weeks. For a country whose defining myth revolves around shepherds, Romania isn't all that keen on its pastoralists. The Ballad of the Little Sheep (Miorita) tells of a herdsman who lets himself be murdered by two rival shepherds even though one of his lambs, who has miraculously acquired the power of speech, warns him in advance. Miorita is sometimes taken as a metaphor for Christianity, another way of showing Christ's courage in turning the other cheek. It's also said to mirror the experience of the Romanian people who have endured numerous invasions, occupations and humiliations without, it is claimed, ever losing their identity. When Romanians were agitating for independence in the 19th Century, Transylvanian shepherds were seen as the rugged pioneers of the nationalist movement. Long before then, they had established shortcuts over the Carpathian Mountains to seasonal grazing in what is now Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, the Caucasus, southern Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Poland and the Czech Republic. Having crossed from Hungarian and Habsburg lands into Ottoman Turkey and Russia, they returned home to their more isolated communities with information, ideas and ambitions fired by the world outside. A shepherd's CV has to offer some crucial USPs: caringness, self-reliance and dedication. He - and it's almost always a he, although in real life women did the same job - is synonymous with the kindly ideals of Christianity and for that matter Islam - but for all that, he is a humble, often solitary, sometimes rootless figure. During Communism, certain Romanian sheep farmers did rather well. People still talk about Mr B from Poiana Sibiului who asked Ceausescu's permission to buy a helicopter. Mr B's flocks were hefted over several mountains, and he argued that being able to fly would let him keep track of them more easily. His request was refused, but Poiana is famous for other reasons - many of its shepherds built luxurious mansions at a time when most people had to stand in queues to buy food and lit their homes with 40 watt bulbs. Inaccessible to big machinery, many mountain farms escaped collectivisation, and the men and women who commuted there from the less exclusive plains, spoke of "going to America". Like farmers worldwide, Romanian flock masters enjoy a good grumble. But things have got tough for them since 1989. Once guaranteed, prices for wool have plummeted. Although there is an international market for Romanian lamb, and sheep's cheese sells well, "slow food" has not made enough of a difference to the shepherds who find it healthier - and cheaper - to walk their sheep to far away winter pastures rather than keep their animals inside. With its origins in the Bronze Age, if not earlier, transhumance is a form of semi-nomadism. It sounds romantic but in the past, Romanian shepherds occasionally resorted to transporting their animals by train, something they could never afford to do now. Romanian shepherds still look archaic. They wear a long sheepskin cloak called a cojoc or sarica. With the shaggy fleece on the outside, it's also their bed, so when shepherds call the cloak their house, they aren't joking. When they sleep at all, it's outside, in all weathers. The hired men earn between 200 or 300 euros a month. They also receive daily meals, work clothing, and a cigarette allowance. Romanians are generally learning more about their shepherds thanks to television. In August this year, a well-known phone company began an advertising campaign that highlighted real people doing real jobs. One of them was Ghita. Dressed in his cojoc and rimless pot hat (another must-have piece of shepherding rig), sitting by a campfire and dancing with sheep, Ghita Ciobanul, or Ghita the Shepherd, has taken Romania by storm. Ten days after the phone company put him on Facebook, his page had clocked more than 200,000 likes. A month later, they had doubled. In the past, Ghita has had to move his sheep illegally, during the night. Given the hazards of crossing Romania's rapidly urbanising, motorised countryside, it's the only way. Accidents and shootings have cost him scores of sheep and many dogs. Maybe this year, thanks to his new-found celebrity, Ghita will be luckier.

Rail strikes hit Northern, Greater Anglia, South Western and Merseyrail

Fresh strikes are causing more disruption for rail passengers in the latest 24-hour walkout over safety.

RMT union members at Northern, South Western Railway, Merseyrail and Great Anglia are taking action for the third time in less than a week. The union says scrapping guards and introducing driver-only operated trains risks passenger safety. But the rail companies have insisted the move is safe and already widely used. Picket lines have appeared at some railway stations affected by the strike, and passengers are facing delays, cancellations and replacement buses in some parts of the country. All four operators said some services would still be running: RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "It is frankly ludicrous that we have been able to negotiate long-term arrangements in Scotland and Wales that protect the guards and passenger safety, but we are being denied the same opportunities with rail companies in England. "This suspension of normal industrial relations by the employers has to end if we are to make progress towards a solution that guarantees safe rail travel for all. "RMT stands ready for talks in each of these separate disputes." A Department for Transport spokesman said: "This is a dispute between a private company and the RMT. "However, the transport secretary recognises the disruption caused to passengers and has met with union leaders on several occasions, including as recently as December, to help bring an end to the strikes. "Nobody is losing their job as a result of driver-controlled operation trains, employees have been guaranteed jobs and salaries for several years."

Syrian war: US scrambles jets to Hassakeh

American fighter planes have been scrambled to the Syrian city of Hassakeh to protect US special forces on the ground from Syrian government aerial attacks, the US military says.

The Pentagon said the Syrian planes were leaving as its jets arrived. People in the north-eastern Syrian city say government warplanes have hit Kurdish districts there for the past two days. Thousands are reported to have fled their homes. Hassakeh is mainly under the control of a Kurdish militia, the YPG. What is left of Syria after five years of war? Syrian Kurds declare federal system Syrian government's warplanes bombed Kurdish areas of Hassakeh for the second day running on Friday. On Thursday, the US "scrambled" - quickly launched - fighter jets to defend some special forces soldiers that were in the area, but did not have to engage in combat because the Syrian planes turned and left as they arrived. Much of Hassakeh is controlled a Kurdish militia, the YPG. Special forces are elite soldiers with specialist skills, who often work undercover. There are 300 US special forces troops in Syria. Most of them were sent there in the past few months. They support local militias, including the YPG, in the fight against so-called Islamic State (IS). No weapons were fired between the US and Syria, but the incident was enough of a threat against US personnel on the ground for the coalition's military apparatus to swing into action. It is thought to be the first time this has happened. Pentagon spokesman Capt Jeff Davis said that as far as he was aware, Thursday's mission was the first time that coalition aircraft had been scrambled to respond to an incident involving Syrian government aerial bombardment. The US had no radio contact with the Syrian planes. Capt Davis told journalists that the US had warned Syria via its communication channel with Russia that it would defend coalition troops. He said the strikes "did not directly impact our forces" but they were "close enough that it gives us great pause". US President Barack Obama has authorised the deployment of special forces troops in Syria to support local militias in the fight against IS, but he has repeatedly ruled out sending ground forces to the conflict. In a statement on Syrian state TV on Friday evening, the general command of the Syrian army accused Kurdish forces of "attacking state institutions, stealing oil and cotton, obstructing exams, kidnapping unarmed civilians and spreading chaos and instability". These actions required an appropriate response from the army, the statement said. A Kurdish journalist who is in Hassakeh, Heybar Othman, told the BBC that it was the first time the Syrian government had used air power against the city. "Right now in the city you don't have electricity, you don't have bread," he said. "We don't have [a] specific number of casualties but approximately 12 civilian people [were] killed and more than 33 injured." The YPG has emerged as a major fighting force in northern Syria in the past two years, becoming a key ally of the US-led coalition against IS. Kurds made up between 7% and 10% of Syria's population of 24.5 million before the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began five years ago. Although they were denied basic rights and suffered decades of political suppression by the Arab-led state, most Kurds avoided taking sides when a wave of protests swept the country. When government forces withdrew from Kurdish areas to concentrate on fighting rebels elsewhere in mid-2012, Kurdish militias led by the YPG swiftly took control.

Rolf Harris indecent assault jury 'got it wrong'

The jury that in 2014 convicted Rolf Harris of a series of indecent assaults "got it wrong", his lawyer has told a second trial on further allegations.

Stephen Vullo QC told Southwark Crown Court that his client had been wrongly found guilty of assaults on four women. Mr Harris will not give evidence at this trial, Mr Vullo said. The former entertainer, 86, denies seven charges of indecent assault and one of sexual assault on victims aged between 12 and 42, from 1971 to 2004. He is following proceedings via a video-link from prison. Mr Vullo said: "What do we say about trial one? In short, we say that the jury got it wrong." He said the defence team had "enormous faith" in the jury system but "no system is infallible". The jury heard evidence about Mr Harris's conviction for assaulting an eight-year-old girl at a community centre in 1969. His then personal assistant described it as "highly unlikely" Mr Harris would have been at the centre, in Portsmouth, because of his high level of fame. Bruna Zanelli said: "He was a major star... a household name. We were a management that was highly esteemed. And we wouldn't have sent any client to work at a community centre. It just wouldn't have happened." Mr Harris maintains his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to assaulting seven girls and women in a series of "brazen" attacks spanning 30 years, the most recent in 2004, the court has heard. Mr Vullo told the jury that part of the evidence would relate to Harris's first trial, but that they should focus on the latest allegations. The jury was also told about an answerphone message left for one of the victims in the first case. In the 2013 message the victim, who was aged 15 when Harris assaulted her in a London pub while she was on a visit from Australia, is accused by her ex-partner of lying about her allegation against the entertainer. In an email sent to British police the following year, the victim's ex-partner said the woman made up the allegations after hearing of Mr Harris's arrest in the UK. The man, who the court heard had been physically abusive during the relationship, told police he felt obliged to support her at the time. In his email he said: "To my knowledge Mr Harris is innocent of (her) claims." On Mr Harris not giving evidence, Mr Vullo pointed out some of the alleged offences in the current trial went back four decades, and said calling the entertainer would not help a great deal. "If the defendant can say no more to you than 'I cannot remember being there', the evidential importance of giving evidence is actually quite weak," he said. The case continues.

Chennai building collapse toll rises to 24

The death toll in a building collapse in the southern Indian city of Chennai has risen to 24, reports say.

Some 24 survivors have so far been pulled from the rubble, and 20 others are feared trapped in the debris. More than 70 workers were in the 11-storey building which was under construction when it toppled in heavy rain late on Saturday. India has seen frequent building collapses, many blamed on lax safety and substandard materials. At least six people, including construction company officials, have been arrested in connection with the collapse in Chennai (Madras), the capital of the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Dr K Kulandaisamy, a senior health official of Tamil Nadu, told the NDTV news channel that 15 of the dead had been identified. The dead were mainly construction workers from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh state and were in the building to collect their wages, reports say. On Monday, two workers, including a woman, were pulled alive from rubble by rescue workers, reports say. The woman is being treated for a head injury at the hospital, a hospital spokesperson told Press Trust of India news agency. Hundreds of rescue workers, including personnel from India's National Disaster Response Force, are working with cutters, shovels and other equipment to search for survivors. "The building has come down like a stack of cards," Karuna Sagar, a senior police officer, told AFP news agency. While the cause of the latest collapse is still under investigation, a lack of construction codes, leading to lax safety, is one reason for frequent collapses of buildings and other infrastructure projects in India. There is also a high demand for housing, pushing up costs and forcing less affluent people to risk their lives in decrepit or badly constructed buildings. Earlier on Saturday, a four-storey building came down in the capital Delhi, killing 10 people, including five children. In January, at least 14 people died when a building under construction came crashing down in the western state of Goa. At least 42 people died after a four-storey building collapsed in Mumbai last September.

Barcelona attacks: What could they mean for Catalan independence?

Ten years ago this month, a foreign news event occurred that ultimately had a major impact on relations between Catalonia and the rest of Spain.

The credit crunch, which began when French bank BNP Paribas froze funds over US subprime mortgage sector fears, eventually plunged Spain into recession. Old grievances among Catalans were revived, as secessionists argued that their wealthy region was being milked by incompetent governments in Madrid. Now a very different kind of outside factor, jihadist violence, has returned to Spain, which last saw such carnage in the Madrid train bombings of 2004. This time Catalonia was attacked, less than two months before its unrecognised referendum on independence. While there is no suggestion Barcelona was targeted for any reason other than being Barcelona, could the attack become the wild card that gives the sovereignty game back to Madrid? Because they clapped the king of Spain on Plaça de Catalunya? Probably not. When King Felipe and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy joined Catalan President Carles Puigdemont and Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau at a rally on the city's central square, they were simply there to mourn. "How could the king and the prime minister not travel to Barcelona?" says Manuel Arias-Maldonado, political science professor at Málaga University. "They had to go." For Adrià Alsina Leal, professor of journalism and communications at the Central University of Catalonia and a Catalan independence activist, "solidarity is welcome from wherever it comes". "It's only normal that they came," he says, noting the sense of "correctness and politeness" at the event. "I wouldn't attach any other significance to that." "It could even be argued that circumstances have forced Puigdemont and Rajoy to show, albeit reluctantly, some unity of purpose," Prof Arias-Maldonado suggests. "There are, of course, minor details: Puigdemont's references to the 'Catalan character' in his speech, Rajoy's call to co-operate and leave behind what separates in the face of greater challenges." The tacit truce between Madrid and the secessionists may rapidly unravel after Sunday, when Catalonia's three days of official mourning end. Activists have suspended campaigning for that period, and I saw no sign of campaigning along Las Ramblas, beyond the occasional estelada (the unofficial lone-star flag of independence) in some of the shops. But secessionists are indignant at how some of Spain's biggest newspapers have used the attack against their cause. For instance, an editorial in El País essentially argued that an attack of this magnitude should act as a reality check for Catalans and persuade them to set aside thoughts of independence. "Using an editorial to sort of shame Catalan independence supporters like that was probably a bit over the top," says Prof Leal. However, the real battle for hearts and minds may be fought on social media. Some secessionists, Prof Arias-Maldonado points out, are already praising the response of Catalan "state-like structures" as confirmation that Catalonia is ready for independence. "Some are even advancing the idea that these things would not happen in a free Catalonia," he says. Prof Leal insists that he and fellow members of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC), a non-party grassroots movement advocating the referendum and a Yes vote, are showing dignified restraint during the period of mourning. However, when the campaign restarts, it will be visibly in tune with its democratic values. On the other hand, he says: "We definitely need to go in a very micro-targeted way to all those people who might still be wondering whether to vote Yes or No or whether to vote at all." Among the most extraordinary sights of the past few days was the outpouring of real love for Catalonia's police. People applauded the Mossos in the street for their work in securing the region and tracking down the jihadists. In a blistering polemic entitled Seven Hours Of Independence, Catalan writer Bernat Dedéu argues that the first response of Catalonia's police and emergency services proved the region had "acted as an authentic power". He also makes the point that Spain has denied Catalan police direct access to European police databases, while granting it to police in the Basque region (however, change was already on the cards last month). Nonetheless, the Catalan authorities' handling of security before the attack is not above criticism. Barcelona's town hall rejected installing vehicle barriers at Las Ramblas, despite a recommendation from the Spanish interior ministry after the Berlin Christmas market attack, Prof Arias-Maldonado points out. He also notes that the explosion at a house in Alcanar just before the attack was "misinterpreted as a drug-dealing event". "It is unclear why this happened and why this event was not followed by a tightening of the security," he says. "Still, perception is king and if public perception says that the Catalan police handled it well, it might help the secessionist case." "It is hard to say," says the political scientist from Málaga University. "According to polls, secessionists are now around 41% of Catalans - numbers have been going down for some time. Around 49% are against it. "These data come from the Catalan public polling body. How will the terrorist attack affect this situation? Who knows? But my bet is - not very much and if it does, it will reinforce the unionist side. "Ultimately I don't think the essence of the independence debate is going to change, because the underlying situation has not changed," says Prof Leal. When I put it to him that support for the cause of independence appears to be ebbing, he is sceptical about the polls and argues that the base is still strong. "I don't know anybody who was a supporter of independence who has stopped being a supporter of independence," he says. He speaks with the same passion I remember in November 2014, when we met during the heady week of Catalonia's referendum dry run. Nearly two million people voted, defying Madrid's attempts to ban it, and 80% chose independence (according to Catalan figures). But one thing has definitely changed since then: Spain's economy is recovering. That, for Prime Minister Rajoy, master of the long game, may yet be his best card.

Old grievances among Catalans were revived, as secessionists argued that their wealthy region was being milked by incompetent governments in Madrid. Now a very different kind of outside factor, jihadist violence, has returned to Spain, which last saw such carnage in the Madrid train bombings of 2004. This time Catalonia was attacked, less than two months before its unrecognised referendum on independence. While there is no suggestion Barcelona was targeted for any reason other than being Barcelona, could the attack become the wild card that gives the sovereignty game back to Madrid? Because they clapped the king of Spain on Plaça de Catalunya? Probably not. When King Felipe and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy joined Catalan President Carles Puigdemont and Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau at a rally on the city\'s central square, they were simply there to mourn. "How could the king and the prime minister not travel to Barcelona?" says Manuel Arias-Maldonado, political science professor at Málaga University. "They had to go." For Adrià Alsina Leal, professor of journalism and communications at the Central University of Catalonia and a Catalan independence activist, "solidarity is welcome from wherever it comes". "It\'s only normal that they came," he says, noting the sense of "correctness and politeness" at the event. "I wouldn\'t attach any other significance to that." "It could even be argued that circumstances have forced Puigdemont and Rajoy to show, albeit reluctantly, some unity of purpose," Prof Arias-Maldonado suggests. "There are, of course, minor details: Puigdemont\'s references to the \'Catalan character\' in his speech, Rajoy\'s call to co-operate and leave behind what separates in the face of greater challenges." The tacit truce between Madrid and the secessionists may rapidly unravel after Sunday, when Catalonia\'s three days of official mourning end. Activists have suspended campaigning for that period, and I saw no sign of campaigning along Las Ramblas, beyond the occasional estelada (the unofficial lone-star flag of independence) in some of the shops.
