+"It reported a 12% rise in 2014 pre-tax profit to ?¡ê1.45bn, on revenues that rose 4.6% to ?¡ê11.5bn. The giant group owns a host of agencies around the world, including JWT and Ogilvy & Mather, and employs some 175,000 people in 111 countries. WPP chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell told the BBC there was some evidence things were picking up in the eurozone. However, he said most global economic growth would continue to come from the US and China. ""We are seeing a little bit of an improvement [in the eurozone] we saw a stronger Q4 and as we go into the first few months of this year January was stronger for the eurozone as well. So there are grounds for a little bit more optimism,"" Sir Martin said. But he warned the upcoming election contained risks to economic growth, whichever party wins the poll. He described the choice facing voters as a ""Morton's Fork"" - a specious piece of reasoning in which contradictory arguments lead to the same (unpleasant) conclusion. ""It's a difficult choice either way. If you vote Conservative, you are faced with a referendum over the EU, either in 2017 or 2016. If you vote Labour, Labour seem to have a platform of criticising or bashing business so you worry on that count too,"" Sir Martin said. On the subject of the UK's membership of the European Union, he said: ""The issue is whether you can get any change [in Europe] before 2016 or 2017. I think the prime minister has drawn the potential date for a referendum forward to 2016, which would be better news. Less uncertainty as a result. ""But the key issue is our position in Europe ,that's where the patterns of trade [are] whether we like it or not. They are not with the Brazils and Russia and Indias and Chinas.

+"However, the east of the country will continue to escape largely dry, with the north east being bright and unseasonably mild. The weather pattern which produces those higher temperatures in the north east is known as the Foehn effect. It's very common in Scotland due to our landmass, our mountain ranges and our close proximity to the sea. This pattern tends to develop in a warm sector - the air mass stuck between a warm front and a cold front. High humidity air is created within this zone. When you add in strong winds, this lifts the air over high ground. When air rises, it takes any moisture out of it and dries the air, turning it warmer - often by several degrees. At the moment, we're seeing strong southwesterly winds bringing in moisture from the Atlantic. That moisture will manifest itself in the form of heavy rain over west Highlands. As the air crosses the Cairngorms, we lose the moisture. The air dries out, taking the cloud with it, and hence we see dry, sunny weather for the north east, along with higher temperatures. That means that on Saturday, we'll see 10 or 11C in the west, as opposed to 15 or perhaps 16C in the north east.","The west of Scotland is set to be hammered by heavy , @placeholder rain in the coming days because of weather fronts moving in from the Atlantic .",creative,persistent,preliminary,acid,becoming

How quickly, I don't know."" Villa's 10 home league defeats matched the same number in 2013-14 under former manager Paul Lambert. Black, who took over from Remi Garde after the Frenchman was sacked on Tuesday, added: ""When the team is bottom of the league, I can understand the disconnect with the supporters. ""We have to give the supporters something, not the other way round. It's been a hard season for them."" Banners were apparent throughout the game as Villa capitulated to a Chelsea team inspired by second-half substitute Oscar, while Alexandre Pato scored on his long-awaited debut. Protests were planned for the 74th minute, to correspond with the year - 1874 - that Villa were founded, and when the moment arrived there was a mass show of discontent from the home supporters. Matters were made worse when Alan Hutton was sent off in the 85th minute.

When asked what made a difference, why the social workers and teachers and children's panel visits didn't change his path as a teenager, he says he found a project that focused on what he could do, not on what he shouldn't do. ""They [social workers and police] were more focussed on just trying to stop us from being bad,"" he says. ""I don't think they ever cared about my qualifications or school or that.

+"Ms Pritzker will discuss recent measures approved by the US to mitigate the impact of the embargo. Since the US and Cuba announced last year they were restoring relations, President Barack Obama has pushed for the restrictions to be scrapped. But he faces opposition from the Republican majority in the US Congress. Ms Pritzker is the most senior American official to visit Cuba since Secretary of State John Kerry reopened the embassy in Havana in July. Shortly after landing in Havana, she visited the Special Enterprise Zone, an area developed near the Mariel port to encourage foreign investment. On Wednesday, she is due to meet the Cuban trade and foreign ministers for discussions on the embargo. The US announced in recent weeks a number of measures to encourage trade even with the embargo still in place. American companies will no longer be breaking US law for setting up premises in Cuba, the US authorities announced. But the Cuban government needs to lift some of its own bureaucratic and legal obstacles for the measures to work, says the BBC's Will Grant in Havana. There may be some reluctance from the Cuban authorities to allow a faster pace of change while there are other issues pending, such as new civil aviation rules, ferry services between Florida and Cuba and greater internet access.

One of the judges gave the decision to DeGale by 114-112, but the other two scored it 113-113, meaning both fighters retain their world titles. Floyd Mayweather, who promotes Jack, called the decision ""bad for boxing"". DeGale, 30, suffered damage to his ear drum and teeth during the contest but wanted a rematch with the 33-year-old. ""I thought I'd done enough but it was the knockdown,"" DeGale told Sky Sports. ""I've had 25 fights, I'm going to get better and I want the rematch. ""I'm glad I'm still the champion and I'm coming home with the title but I'm so upset that I didn't come with the WBC belt.

DeGale has now won 23 times, drawn once and lost once as a professional, while Jack failed to win for only the fourth time in his 24-fight career. The British fighter was making the third defence of his IBF belt and made a bright start, knocking Jack down with a straight left inside the opening three minutes. But Jack got back into the contest and had success with a number of body shots in the sixth round, and dislodged DeGale's gumshield with an uppercut in the eighth round, which later led to DeGale losing one of his front teeth. DeGale landed some punches in the 10th, but was floored by a short uppercut in the final round, which ultimately cost him the victory. Former five-weight world champion Mayweather said Jack would not fight DeGale again and would move up a weight instead. ""We don't need to figure it out, I'm the promoter this is my fighter,"" Mayweather said. ""Badou Jack has got too big for 168lbs. We have plans after this fight to move up to light-heavyweight.

+"A hamstring injury means Ramsey has not played for Wales since their Euro 2016 quarter-final win over Belgium. The 25-year-old was named in Uefa's team of the tournament and Wales have been hindered by his recent absence. ""Take him out of any team and it's a loss,"" said Coleman. ""That's not a biased opinion because I'm a Welshman and we all love Rambo. I'm looking at it clinically. Playing in tournament against the top teams, he was head and shoulders above. ""In my personal opinion there's not a team on the planet he couldn't play for."" Ramsey's return is timely for Wales, who are third in Group D and two points behind leaders Serbia. After an opening 4-0 win over Moldova and a creditable 2-2 draw in Austria, Wales were held to a surprising draw at home by minnows Georgia. Their lack of creativity was glaring on occasions without Ramsey, who was injured on the opening weekend of the Premier League season before returning to action with Arsenal in their Champions League victory at Ludogorets on 1 November. The former Cardiff midfielder played 75 minutes on that occasion, and made a second-half substitute appearance in the 1-1 North London derby draw with Tottenham on Sunday. And although Ramsey's return to Wales training was initially hampered by a stomach bug, Coleman confirmed he would start against Serbia at Cardiff City Stadium. ""He's ready and he looks great,"" Coleman added. ""We were without him for the first three games, which was a blow for us - it would be a blow for anyone. It's disappointing and frustrating.

+"The inquiry, which has cost more than ?¡ê7m, interviewed its last witness three years ago but has yet to be published. Whitehall sources said the process of allowing some people to respond to the inquiry's findings had not begun. Prime Minister David Cameron said on Friday he ""very much hoped"" the report would be ready by the end of the year. But Mr Cameron has also conceded that this timetable was not in his gift. BBC News understands there are still significant obstacles to overcome. Before publication, those facing criticism have to be given an opportunity to respond privately. Sir John Chilcot had intended to begin this process last year but Whitehall sources said this was yet to get under way. BBC political correspondent Iain Watson says the prime minister is hopeful this will happen soon. But Sir John first wants the Cabinet Office to agree to publish more of the notes and conversations about Iraq between former Prime Minister Tony Blair and ex-US President George W Bush. The Cabinet Office is said to be close to deciding which documents will be made public but if that list does not satisfy Sir John then the report could be still further delayed. The independent inquiry into the Iraq War was set up before the last election by the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Public Administration Committee chairman Bernard Jenkin has said delays to the publication of the report have become ""very serious"". Mr Jenkin said the report was ""at least four years overdue"" and an explanation was needed. He urged ministers to ""sort this out"". The government said it had been in talks with the inquiry and the process would end as soon as possible.

Rescuers are using bulldozers and even bare hands to move tonnes of debris as the search for survivors and dead bodies continues. At least 10 more bodies have been recovered on Monday. City authorities say dozens of people are still unaccounted for and could be buried under the rubble. Dozens of others have been treated and discharged from a local hospital. Communications Minister Negeri Lencho told the BBC that the government had appealed to the residents to leave the dump: ""We had plans to resettle the people. Unfortunately this landslide occurred in the meantime. ""But now more than 290 people living in the area have been relocated. We plan to support them so that they can live in a safe zone."" Katsela Mengistu, a 50-year-old father of two, is among hundreds of residents who have gathered at the site, waiting and watching anxiously for news about his family: ""I am just here waiting for news of my family members; my wife and two children - a boy and a girl.

+"The HSBC Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) rose to 49.5 in July, a five-month high and up from 48.2 in June. The data comes amid fears of a sharp slowdown in China's economy. China's economy, the world's second-largest, expanded at an annual rate of 7.6% in the second quarter, the slowest pace of growth in three years. Some analysts said the data indicated that recent measures implemented by the government to boost growth, including lowering interest rates, had started to take effect and that the economy was likely to rebound in the coming months. ""This suggests the effect of policy easing is being transmitted to the economy and reinforces our view that growth has bottomed in second quarter at 7.6% and will rebound in the third quarter to 8.1%,"" said Zhang Zhiwei, chief economist at Nomura. The PMI is a key indicator of activity in the manufacturing sector. A reading above 50 shows expansion, while one below that, indicates contraction. The HSBC PMI reading has remained below the threshold 50 mark for the past nine months. China's manufacturing sector has been hurt by falling demand from key markets such as the US and eurozone. And as those regions continue to grapple with economic issues and slower growth, there have been concerns that China's manufacturing may slow further. Analysts said that even though the latest data indicated that the pace of contraction had slowed, the sector had yet to fully recover. ""China's manufacturing slowdown momentum has yet to be fully reversed,"" Qu Hongbin, Co-head of Asian Economics Research at HSBC said in a statement. ""The current PMI reading remains below break-even level."" As demand from its key overseas markets has declined and the pace of its economic growth slowed, China's policymakers have taken steps to ease monetary policy in a bid to boost domestic demand and sustain growth. China's central bank has cut its key interest rates twice in the past two months. It has also lowered the amount of cash banks must hold in reserve, thrice in the past few months, in a bid to boost lending in the country. However, analysts said that Beijing needed to introduce fresh measures to spur growth. ""This calls for more easing efforts to support growth and jobs,"" said HSBC's Qu Hongbin.

He arrived in Canada last November, with a permit to attend Catholic Central Secondary School in Windsor, the Canadian Press news agency said, quoting board documents. The school has not commented on the case. His passport and study-permit application say his date of birth is 25 November 1998, which means he would be 17 years old. But new details emerged after Mr Nicola applied for a US visa in December to play with his team there, a Canadian government lawyer said, according to the report. Details passed on from US officials showed that he had unsuccessfully applied for refugee status in 2007, giving his date of birth as 1 November 1986. That would make him 29 years old. In April 2015, he applied for a US student visa, and stated he was born in 1998. But his request was rejected by US officials, who said he had lied about his age and that he was trying to immigrate to the United States. After his arrest, Mr Nicola reportedly told officials he did not know his exact age but admitted being closer to 30.

+"The person on the boat reportedly dialled numbers with a Rome prefix and eventually got through to a 67-year-old man in the Marconi district. The man said the caller had spoken some English and French and the sea could be heard lapping in the background. Police alerted the coastguard who then launched a rescue mission. It came as the Italian navy and coastguard said their vessels had rescued more than 1,300 migrants in several operations on Tuesday in the Mediterranean. So far this year, more than 11,000 migrants have arrived in Italy by sea and about 100 have died making the crossing from the North African coast. The EU is seeking to limit the numbers reaching Greece via Turkey. The pensioner told Italian media he had been woken early on Tuesday by the telephone and, despite not being able to understand the caller, had contacted the police as he believed the person was in trouble.

The caller, who said he was Sudanese, shouted ""we are in trouble"" amid the sound of an engine and the wind and the sea in the background, Italy's AGI news agency reports. Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera says the coastguard later rescued about 600 migrants on a boat and four rubber dinghies close to the coast of Italy. The number of people risking the perilous crossing from North Africa to Europe is expected to increase as the weather improves, correspondents say. Hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants have arrived in Italy in recent years, seeking a better life in the West. The EU and Turkey recently struck an agreement aimed at halting the influx of ""irregular migrants"" through Greece. About 144,000 irregular migrants have arrived in Greece this year alone, and more than 360 have died, according to the International Organization for Migration. Last year, more than one million migrants and refugees, many fleeing war in Syria and Iraq, reached Europe by sea. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.","A pensioner in Rome raised the alarm after receiving a call , apparently made at @placeholder , from migrants on a sinking boat in the Mediterranean , reports say .",brave,suffering,random,last,home

+"Maybe they should be thinking a bit more about SNP supporters too - many of whom are far from convinced about the EU. Polls are indicating that up to a third of SNP supporters could vote to leave. And as about half of the Scottish electorate are now SNP voters, that is a sizeable chunk of votes. Recent messages from the UK wide Remain camp suggest they have not properly considered how their arguments will sound in Scotland. When George Osborne claims that if there is a vote to remain that will take Scottish independence ""off the table"" for a generation does he not understand that he is practically daring voters who support independence to vote to leave? Nicola Sturgeon has said that if the UK votes to leave, but a majority of Scottish voters want to remain, that could provoke a second referendum on Scottish independence. But she is now playing down that possibility, telling voters this referendum is not about Scotland's position within the UK and urging them to vote remain. As she is trying to focus her supporters' minds on the question on the ballot - membership of the EU - she is not helped by English politicians repeatedly bringing up the question of Scotland's future. Last week John Major said a vote to exit the European Union  could ""tear apart the UK"", and could make pressure for a second vote on Scottish independence ""politically irresistible"". He said he hoped voters would hear yet one more reason to stay in the EU. But if your primary political goal is achieving an independent Scotland it sounds more like an invite to vote to leave. This referendum is already very confusing for many Scottish nationalists. Their party's leadership and all its elected politicians are urging a vote remain. Yet some of the arguments for leaving are remarkably similar to their own reasons for wanting Scottish independence. And they hear the remain camp issuing dire warnings about the consequences of separation that are almost exactly the same as the arguments that were deployed against Scottish independence just 20 months ago. One young SNP Remain campaigner told me ""the hardest place to be in politics right now is a nationalist supporting remain"". That may explain why we haven't seen much of Ms Sturgeon out on the stump making the case for a vote to remain. The SNP have been remarkably low key during this referendum.

+"The NASUWT said schools currently had ad hoc drills to deal with various threats and called on the government to put together a comprehensive plan. More than 200 head teachers in West Yorkshire have attended council-run seminars providing advice on lockdowns. The government said it ""constantly reviewed"" security guidance it issues. The seminars, run in collaboration with police, the fire service and the North East Counter Terrorism Unit, give advice on managing a potentially violent or dangerous event in or around a school. Five have been held since the beginning of 2016, with organisers aiming to have covered every school in West Yorkshire by Easter 2018. Scenarios covered include noxious fumes from a fire or chemical incident, weapons in school, animals in school grounds, aggressive pupils or parents and bomb threats. Huddersfield's Reinwood Junior School is one of several in West Yorkshire which carries out lockdown drills, with pupils and staff practising twice a year. After a pre-recorded alarm and message is played from the tannoy, pupils get under tables, teachers lock classroom doors, lights are turned off and window shutters pulled down. Ian Darlington, Year Six teacher at the school, said it was better to practise so that it ""almost becomes second nature"" to the pupils. ""Initially it might appear that we are raising concerns, raising children's fears, but in actual fact they're quite calm doing it now,"" he said. ""They understand the importance of doing it and it doesn't worry them."" Chris Keates, NASUWT General Secretary, said: ""Responsibility for ensuring security and terrorism preparedness should be the responsibility of the whole governing body. ""It would not be appropriate for the government simply to require schools to have preparedness plans in place and assume that they are able to do this. ""Schools will already have plans in place to respond to a range of emergency scenarios, but it's important that they are given specific advice and support on what additional provisions are considered necessary and the support and advice to implement them.""

+"Anyone convicted of sexual harassment or stalking of women will face a year in jail or a fine of about $70 or both. The government's move follows increasing incidents of sexual harassment and stalking of women. Until now mobile courts dealt with less serious crimes, such as traffic violations and hoarding. ""For the first time a social crime has been brought under the jurisdiction of mobile courts,"" Abdus Sobhan Sikder, the Bangladesh home secretary, told the BBC. ""The idea behind the move is for a speedy trial in cases of sexual harassment and stalking."" Young women often face verbal abuse and taunts in Bangladesh, and sometimes stalked by colleagues at school or other young men. Some young women, unable to bear the repeated insults, have even gone so far as to commit suicide. Usually, it takes weeks before these cases can be heard in a normal criminal court and the conviction rate is said to be very low. Now the government hopes mobile courts can dispose of the cases quickly - and that the punishments they hand out will act as a deterrent to others. ""Mobile courts all across the country will be trying these cases. District officials can form mobile courts whenever they think it is necessary,"" Mr Sikder said. The High Court last week asked the government to take measures to stop sexual harassment and stalking of women after a number of suicides and killings related to the issue in recent weeks. Activists say more than 24 people, most of them young girls, have died because of bullying and harassment since the beginning of this year. In recent weeks, some of those who spoke out against sexual harassment have been murdered, causing public outrage. A 50-year-old woman died after a motorcycle was driven over her when she protested against the bullying of her daughter last week. A college teacher who spoke against bullying was also murdered. The killings led to a series of protests across the country.

+"The rules will also establish minimum standards of cybersecurity for banks, energy and water firms. It is the first time Europe has created EU-wide rules on cybersecurity. It comes in the wake of concerns that key infrastructure, such as airports or power stations, could be targeted by hackers. The proposed laws - agreed by MEPs and ministers from the 28 EU countries -  will also apply to some tech firms. The details of this have yet to be worked out but the rules are likely to include online marketplaces, such as eBay and Amazon, and search engines such as Google. The Network and Information Security directive is an attempt to deal with the emerging threat of cyber-attacks. Currently there is no common approach in Europe to digital network breaches, whether they are the result of human error, technical failures or malicious attacks. The European Agency for Network and Information Security (Enisa) estimates that such breaches result in annual losses in the range of 260 billion to 340 billion euros. Under the new rules, member states would have to co-operate more on cybersecurity, exchanging information about breaches, offering best practice and assisting member states in securing their infrastructures. ""Today, a milestone has been achieved: we have agreed on the first ever EU-wide cybersecurity rules, which the Parliament has advocated for years,"" said German MEP  Andreas Schwab, after the deal was agreed. Digital affairs commissioner Guenther Oettinger added that it was a ""major step in raising the level of cybersecurity in Europe"". MEP Vicky Ford, who chaired the final round of talks, said that it was ""a hugely complex piece of legislation"".

+"Mr Liu, a human rights campaigner, was jailed in 2009 on subversion charges for calling for greater democracy. His lawyer says he is being treated in hospital in northern Liaoning Province after being diagnosed a month ago. His wife Liu Xia has been under house arrest since her husband won the award in 2010 but has never been charged. Liu Xiaobo, 61, was a key leader in the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. The Chinese authorities have never explained why they have restricted his wife's movements. Mr Liu's brother confirmed the Nobel laureate had been diagnosed with cancer on 23 May, his lawyer Mo Shaoping told the South China Morning Post. He was released days later and is now being treated in the northern city of Shenyang. ""He has no special plans. He is just receiving medical treatment for his illness,"" Mo Shaoping told AFP news agency. A statement from the government in Liaoning said Mr Liu had been released on medical parole and was being treated by eight tumour experts. Most people in China have never heard of Liu Xiaobo due to the censorship of discussion about him here. That it could take a month for news of his release to become public gives you an idea of the level of sensitivity. It also shows that his transfer to hospital by no means guarantees his friends and family will be able to visit. After the brutal crackdown in and around Tiananmen Square in 1989 Mr Liu was driven to the front gate of the Australian embassy and an Australian diplomat said that he had to choose in or out. He decided not to leave, believing he could be more effective trying to make change from within. This commitment to a very different China has led to him paying a terrible price. The Nobel committee described Liu Xiaobo as ""the foremost symbol"" of the human rights struggle in China. He never collected his prize and was represented by an empty chair.

+"Hamilton had been handed a two-match ban, with a further two suspended, for comments he made to referee Mervyn Smyth after being sent-off. But after his appeal hearing, this was changed to a four-match suspension. Hamilton also unsuccessfully challenged a red card decision and two-match ban he got for violent conduct. The Irish FA's Appeals Committee decided the Disciplinary Committee had been too lenient in suspending the two matches for a probationary period of six months. Normally, Hamilton would have got a straight four-match suspension for the comments made to the referee, but at the appeal hearing it was stated that the Disciplinary Committee had some sympathy with the Glenavon player-manager's case. Hamilton, and Glenavon chairman Adrian Teer, spoke at the appeal hearing. In its published findings, the Appeals Committee said Hamilton had shown ""a deplorable lack of respect for the referee"" and that such behaviour would not be tolerated. The Appeal Hearing was told that the two assistant referees and fourth official reported that Hamilton had behaved aggressively in the officials' changing room.

+"And so, this time the tidings are good and arrived over the weekend. Monsoon hits Kerala, India ready to tap it , announced a relieved Business Standard on Saturday. The newspaper said the southwest monsoon, ""the lifeline for millions of farmers across the country"" had hit the southern state on its ""usual onset date"". Even Bollywood's biggest star Amitabh Bachchan joined the celebrations. ""The monsoons have reached Kerala and the Lakshdweep islands... This is a good sign... A week later, traditionally, they should be over Mumbai... This is an indicator of a normal monsoon. We survive and depend on this rain phenomena and much of India's produce depends on its performance - the monsoons I mean,"" the actor wrote on his blog. Monsoon rains are serious business in India. Editorials are written on it, weather experts talk about it on prime time news television, and people send up prayers when it's delayed. Weather insurance policies with built in rainfall insurance are sold to farmers as a hedge against uncertain weather. A good monsoon leads to bountiful crop which raises farm incomes, boosts rural consumption and drives the economy. A weak monsoon - and droughts, in extreme cases - hurts farm workers, raises food prices, encourages hoarders and generally creates havoc in the economy. As early as in 1925, the Royal Commission On Agriculture In India described the Indian economy as a gamble on the monsoon. Some three decades later, in 1953, the prestigious The Economic Weekly in a long editorial simply titled The Monsoon bemoaned the lack of proper meteorological tools to forecast monsoons and said: ""Had the annual rainfall meant as much in the economic life of Europe as it does in this country, it is a permissible guess that some measure would have been found for it ere long"". More than half a century later, the Business Standard reported over the weekend: ""The rains, from June to September, are vital for the 55% of farmland without irrigation in India, one of the world's largest producers and consumers of food."" Consider the facts and you realise why over a billion people are obsessed with monsoon rains. India's farms are mainly rain-fed. The country receives 75% of its yearly rainfall between June and September. Some 70% of Indians depend directly or indirectly on farming. Farming accounts for 14.5% of India's $1.83 trillion GDP, and though its share is declining, agriculture still accounts for a whopping 58% of the total employment in the country. And then there's the spectre of drought. Some 68% of India, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation, is prone to droughts in varying degrees - a third of this area is actually ""chronically drought prone"". Between 1801 and 2002, according to one estimate, India faced 42 severe droughts, many of them damaging crops and hurting growth. To rely less on the vagaries of the monsoon rains, India, say experts, needs to develop varieties of rice, pulses and oilseeds which are drought resistant, evolve early drought warning systems and improve meteorological tools to provide sharper forecasts. It also needs to ramp up its still scanty water conservation efforts. Too much water gets wasted. India also needs to manage its huge food stocks - over 60 million tonnes at the start of this year - much better. Too much food gets destroyed and damaged. That, many say, is a bigger tragedy than an imprecise monsoon forecast.",This is possibly the only time of the year in India when over a billion people @placeholder an unusual bit of news with bated breath .,anticipated,deserve,await,heard,enjoy
+"The weather may have been chilly and overcast but it did not lessen the dazzling impact of more than 20 vintage aircraft flying in three formations over London and the south-east coast. The event at Biggin Hill in south-east London marked 75 years since 18 August 1940, when British and German pilots engaged in the hardest fought day of the Battle of Britain. After taking off just after 13:00 BST, the iconic fighters circled London and then flew to the battle's official memorial at Capel-le-Ferne near the White Cliffs of Dover. On their return they wowed the crowds with multiple flypasts of the airfield - banking, climbing, diving and weaving as they went. Dozens of veterans of the Battle of Britain and other World War Two servicemen and women were also invited to take part in the commemoration. Flying Officer Gerry Abrahams, who flew Lancaster bombers over Germany during the war, said the event was a fantastic opportunity to see a huge number of Spitfires and Hurricanes in one place. ""It's never happened since the war it's incredible."" He and the other veterans were given a VIP view of the display, a sit-down lunch and dozens of requests from members of the public asking them to accept a handshake to thank them for their service. Once the Hurricanes and Spitfires were finally back on the ground, the spectators were given the opportunity walk among the aircraft. Kevin Wilford, of Caterham, Surrey, said he had brought his grandson Peter to the event because ""you'll never get the opportunity to see this many Spitfires again"". ""It's been fantastic, seeing them flying all round, all over the place was like a trip back in time. ""I've been to airshows before but it's not like this,"" he added. Eight-year-old Peter said: ""I enjoyed it when they all came round in their groups and did a huge display."" And it was not just the aircraft that were on show at Biggin Hill today. There were nearly a dozen vintage vehicles and more than 30 people dressed in period wartime uniforms and civilian clothes to help transport people back to the summer of 1940. And some of the men dressed as World War Two pilots also carried out a mock fighter pilot scramble to the crowds' delight.","Thousands of @placeholder spectators were treated to a spectacle of the skies when more than a dozen Spitfires and handful of Hurricanes carried out a flypast to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain 's "" Hardest Day "" .",curious,historical,british,lucky,extreme

+"""French Londoners, France loves you,"" he told a rally, urging them to come home because their country needed their drive and expertise. He cited the frequently aired claim that London was France's sixth-largest city, with an estimated 200,000 French residents. In fact it would rank about 30th. But what drew Mr Macron to the UK was perhaps not so much the number as the type of French people living in its capital. Many are young, educated, upwardly and geographically mobile - exactly the constituency he has galvanised at home. Opinion polls suggest he has a chance of reaching the second-round presidential run-off in May and could even win the presidency. Queuing to hear him speak in Westminster on Tuesday was Elise Siouve, 25, a biotechnology postgraduate at Cambridge University, who felt Mr Macron ""understands the need to adapt to social and economic changes"". Another Cambridge student, Benjamin Vendrand-Maillet, 24, has set up a unit of Macron supporters at the university. For him, the centrist's market-friendly policies would work ""for all French people, whether rich or poor, young or old"" and he was best placed to defeat the populist Front National. The main challenge for French candidates campaigning abroad is that turnout is low among expats. In the UK, it is typically about 30%. Why bother to vote when you have decided to make another country your home? But Mr Macron could benefit from the UK's vote to leave the EU, which he deeply regrets. French residents who may suddenly be unsure of their long-term status in the UK could find renewed interest in politics back home. This is the case for Sylvie, a Macron fan who is studying for a doctorate in Oxford. ""I lost interest in France for four years because I found what was going on there dispiriting,"" she says. ""Since Brexit I've realised that I might have to go back to France, so I'm much more involved now."" Restating the message he had delivered to UK Prime Minister Theresa May earlier in the day, Mr Macron promised the crowd of about 2,000 that he would attract talent back to France by freeing up the economy and encouraging risk-taking and enterprise. He said he had been shocked when a French person he met on the Eurostar train to London had told him that he had gone to Britain to establish his start-up business because he had found it impossible to do so at home. ""What is at stake in this campaign,"" he said to loud applause, ""is making sure that women and men who are willing to create jobs and wealth, who want to change their own lives and that of others, can never say 'I tried to do it in France but it's better to do it a two-hour Eurostar ride away'. I don't want to hear that ever again."" Mr Macron is hoping to buck an international trend towards anti-globalisation populism in a country where market reforms have never been popular. The five-horse race for the French presidency remains wide open. In recent weeks polls have consistently placed far-right leader Marine Le Pen ahead in the first round on 23 April. But they have also suggested she would lose the run-off two weeks later. That suggests the top prize in this election could go to the initial runner-up. Mr Macron surged ahead of his rivals in January but his support has wobbled over the past week, following an outcry over his comment that the colonisation of Algeria had been a ""crime against humanity"". Mainstream conservative Francois Fillon appears to be staging a comeback after damaging allegations over payments to his wife. Two left-wing candidates are not far behind. But what is clear is that the winning candidate will be the one most able to mobilise his constituency - hence the potential importance of the expat vote in this race. ""It is too close to call,"" says Benedicte Paviot, London correspondent for France 24 television.

+"Between 2003 and 2013, regular smoking fell from 9% to 3% of 11- to 15-year-olds. Regular alcohol drinking dropped from 25% to 9%. The number of pupils who said they had taken illegal drugs also halved. The HSCIC based its figures on a survey of more than 5,000 pupils in England. Young people at 174 schools were questioned in the autumn term of 2013. Health charity Ash said smoking in children had fallen to a record low. The results show that the rates of school pupils drinking, smoking and taking illegal drugs are continuing to decline. Drug use among pupils has stayed stable at 6% for the last few years, but is still half the level it was in 2003. In the 2003 survey, one in four school pupils said they had drunk alcohol in the past week. In 2013, the figure was one in 10. Deborah Arnott, chief executive of health charity Ash, said smoking levels among 15-year-olds were now well below the government target of 12%. She said action taken by the government to ban tobacco advertising, put larger health warnings on packs and make all enclosed public places smoke-free had made a difference. ""But more needs to be done and plain standardised tobacco packs are the obvious next step,"" she said. Fears that electronic cigarettes could become a gateway into smoking for young people have not materialised so far, she added. ""We need to keep monitoring use in young people, and make sure advertising and promotion of electronic cigarettes doesn't glamorise their use."" The percentage of pupils who said they smoked at least one cigarette a week in 2003 fell by two-thirds, to 3% in 2013. Also, over the past decade, the proportion of young people who said they had tried smoking halved from 42% in 2003 to 22% in 2013 - the lowest level since the survey began in 1982. When pupils were asked what activities were acceptable at their age, they said using illegal drugs was the least acceptable. Only one in 20 agreed it was acceptable to take cannabis once a week, whereas one in four said it was acceptable to drink alcohol once a week. Kingsley Manning, chairman of the HSCIC, said the report provided encouraging evidence that fewer young people are regularly smoking, drinking or using drugs.

+"Access to Honour of Kings is now restricted to one hour a day for children aged under 12 and two hours for children between 12 and 18. The limits were put in place after the government-owned People's Daily labelled the game ""poison"" and called for more regulations. Also translated as Kings of Glory, Honour of Kings is a fantasy role-playing ""multiplayer online battle arena"" game. It's very similar to another Tencent game, League of Legends, which is the world's most popular PC game. There are a few differences. Unlike League of Legends, it's based on Chinese historical characters. It's also specifically designed for play on a mobile platform. This is a key reason it's so popular in China, where many gamers don't have access to a games console or PC at home. The app is free to download, but players pay to upgrade their characters or costumes to help them advance to the next level. Estimates about how much an average player spends vary from about $1.50 to $6 a month. That doesn't sound like much, but it all adds up in a game with more than 50 million monthly active users. Parents and teachers worry that children are becoming addicted to the game. While hand-wringing over gaming is nothing new, Honour of Kings has drawn particular scorn from the government-owned People's Daily newspaper, which called it ""poison"" and a ""drug"" that harms teenagers. It also called for tighter regulatory controls of online games. Tencent's revenue model depends on getting existing gamers to spend more time on their products. Its last annual report says its strategy is to turn casual gamers into ""midcore"" or ""hardcore"" gamers. Tencent made $7.2bn in the first quarter of this year, and more than half - about $3.9bn - came from gaming. Two titles dominate its catalogue. League of Legends is its biggest title globally, but in China Honour of Kings is its highest grossing mobile game. Chinese gaming industry database CNG estimates the game generated about $810.5m in the first quarter of this year. That would equate to about 11% of its total revenue. Tencent is a huge company. Besides gaming it's in payment services, social media and messaging apps (notably the phenomenally successful WeChat). The great majority of Tencent's business is in China, so it's vulnerable to regulatory changes there. This could add to investor anxiety. After Tencent brought in the time limits, its shares fell 4%, wiping $12bn off its market value. But shares have rebounded slightly since then. As a whole, the company has grown more than 40% over the past year, and it says the limits won't have much impact on the bottom line, because children under 12 are only a small part of its user base.",Chinese internet giant Tencent @placeholder its profits wo n't take a hit from a decision to limit the time children can play one of its most popular games .,expects,defended,suffered,offer,insists

He said the organisation would ""limit the dehydration and the fatigue elements to lower as much as possible the risk of a tragedy"". Flyweight Adams' next bout in Leeds on 13 May is on the undercard of Josh Warrington's WBC International featherweight title fight with Kiko Martinez. As Adams' fight is not for a WBC title, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) have allowed for the extension of the bout to four three-minute rounds. Ireland's London 2012 Olympic champion Katie Taylor has also called for the move and Adams' management believe it will be the first time a women's bout has featured the same length of rounds as their male counterparts in the UK.

+"Ghulam Jilani Popal stepped aside citing personal reasons, according to a government official. Many ministerial posts remain unfilled, four months after tense elections. There are also concerns that as many as 11 of those set to enter the cabinet of 25 may hold dual citizenship, meaning MPs could veto them under Afghan law. However Ghulam Jilani Popal's decision not to go for the finance portfolio was due to disagreements with the president on a number of unspecified issues, according to an unnamed government official cited by Reuters. The official said Mr Popal was instead being considered for the Independent Directorate of Local Governance, countering the message from the presidential palace that personal reasons were behind his withdrawal. The new nominee for the position of finance minister is expected to be Eklil Ahmad Hakimi, Afghanistan's current ambassador to the United States. The news follows the revelation that President Ghani's nominee for agriculture minister, Mohammad Yaqub Haidari, is on Interpol's most wanted list over allegations of tax evasion in Estonia which date back to 2003. Forming a cabinet has proved difficult due to the current balance of power, with Mr Ghani's opponent in last year's elections, Abdullah Abdullah, holding the position of chief executive. A power vacuum at key ministries has hit the economy and hampered efforts to contain a burgeoning Taliban insurgency, emboldened by the withdrawal of most foreign troops last year. Another controversy, over the issue of dual citizenship, is currently raging ahead of a crucial parliamentary vote of confidence in the new 25-strong cabinet on Friday. Eleven potential cabinet ministers, including Mr Popal, hold dual citizenship according to Abdul Qader Zazai, a member of the committee screening nominees.

+"The study by Duke Health in the US and published in the New England Journal of Medicine looked at 4,274 babies born between 22 and 24 weeks. Compared with those born a decade earlier, a larger percentage were now toddlers without signs of moderate or severe cognitive and motor delay. Changes to care are being credited with the improvement. About 30% of children included in the study who were born between the years 2000 and 2003 survived, but that rate increased to 36% for babies born in 2008 to 2011. The proportion of survivors who did not have a neurological impairment rose from 16% to 20%. The best outcomes were for children born at 23 to 24 weeks. Researcher Prof Noelle Younge called the findings ""encouraging"". ""We see evidence of improvement over time. But we do need to keep an eye on the overall numbers, as a large percentage of infants born at this stage still do not survive. ""Those who survive without significant impairment at about age two are still at risk for numerous other challenges to their overall health."" Full-term babies are born at 37 to 40 weeks. Prof Michael Cotten, one of the other lead researchers, said changes in the culture of neonatal intensive care units were behind the improvement. ""We've taken a big focus on preventing infections, and there's a lot more encouragement and support for the use of mothers' milk than there was 15 years ago, which has also been linked to better outcomes."" There has also been a decrease in infection rates in neonatal intensive care units over the past two decades, which Prof Cotten said was important.

Bosnia-Herzegovina was divided into two entities after the 1992-1995 war: the Serb-run Republika Srpska and the Bosniak-Croat Federation. Critics fear the referendum will undermine Bosnia's tenuous stability. Of Republika Srpska's 83 MPs, 45 voted in favour of the referendum while 31 abstained and the rest did not take part. Mr Dodik said the vote was ""about whether we are going to go the way of preserving the constitution and defending our international right, or the way of degrading Republika Srpska."" In his speech to the regional parliament, he complained that the country's prosecutors had been more lenient towards ""the few Bosniaks"" charged with war crimes compared with Serbs. But the move was criticised by the High Representative for Bosnia-Herzegovina, Valentin Inzko, who is responsible for ensuring the Dayton peace accord, which ended the war, is adhered too. Mr Inzko said it was ""irresponsible and shows the readiness of a powerful elite to continue to drive the Republika Srpska and BiH (Bosnia and Herzegovina) into an ever deeper crisis."" Bosnia became an independent state after the war, but half its population - around two million people - had been displaced, and its infrastructure and economy was left in tatters.

+"Communities Minister Lesley Griffiths said planning would start two months before an inmate was due for release. Shelter Cymru welcomed the introduction of measures to prevent homelessness. Campaigners have voiced frustration that prison leavers are still being housed in B&Bs a year after a woman was killed by a homeless ex-offender. A review is taking place into the mental health support given to Matthew Williams, 34. He died following his arrest for attacking Cerys Yemm, 22, at the Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Argoed, Caerphilly county, in November 2014. Ms Griffiths said the national pathway was the first of its kind in the UK and was set up following the Housing (Wales) Act, which gives local authorities a duty to prevent homelessness. It clarifies and co-ordinates the roles and responsibilities of all authorities involved with people leaving custody. ""Wales has been recognised for the forward-thinking approach we have taken to preventing homelessness,"" said Ms Griffiths. ""The National Pathway puts us ahead of the rest of the UK in terms of our efforts to prevent prison leavers from becoming homeless or ending up in B&Bs.

+"The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) will phase out existing levels of support over the next year, giving players who lose out significantly a chance to adjust to their new financial means. Funding will only be offered to those competitive with the world's best. Coaches rather than cash will be the LTA's main currency in future. The key adjustments include: The philosophy of the LTA started to evolve even before Michael Downey took over as chief executive in January of this year. Funding for elite players had already been reduced from ¡ê12m to ¡ê10m for 2014, and could only be claimed by players under 24 who agreed to pay back 20% of the prize money they earned. The pace of reform has, however, been speeded up dramatically. The LTA is mindful of the need to reduce spending, but is also increasingly of the view that having too much too soon can hinder a player's development. The hope is that if a player has to stay with a host family rather than in a hotel, and cook for themselves rather than eat out, they will more greatly appreciate the value of each ranking point gained and pound earned. 2013 Wimbledon champion Andy Murray benefited from the attention of world-class coaches such as Brad Gilbert and Paul Annacone when they joined the LTA at great expense in 2006. Kyle Edmund and Liam Broady are now about the age Murray was then: both have just broken into the top 200 for the first time, and will have reached their targets, though modern-day funding is not designed to stretch to such illustrious coaches. Since splitting with Greg Rusedski in October, Edmund has been working full-time with the LTA's James Trotman, and Broady - who reached the finals of both Wimbledon and the US Open as a junior - has a similar arrangement with Mark Hilton. The LTA's new director of player development, Bob Brett, is investing a lot of time in developing a network of British coaches. But one concern, by his own admission, is the talent pool is not yet deep enough.

In the statement, Graves also said: Strauss offered Pietersen a role as an advisor on a board to improve the one-day side, which was turned down. Pietersen's omission has divided opinion, particularly after he scored an unbeaten 355 for Surrey against Leicestershire earlier this week. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Pietersen said he had been ""misled"" by the ECB. ""I just find it incredibly deceitful what has happened to me,"" he said.

+"A BBC investigation found 903 full-time nurses have gone since 2010, more than twice the national average rate. The fall in staffing levels has led to some community nurses visiting 25 patients during a shift. In 2010, there were 3,757 community nurses in post but by September 2014, that fell to 2,854, the figures show. The Department of Health said it was down to local trusts to allocate staff. Margaret Berry, director of nursing for NHS England (East), said: ""All community provider trusts and clinical commissioning groups have recently been asked to ensure that they regularly review their district nurse training, to ensure that it is meeting all the necessary requirements. ""The training and education of nurses is being reviewed nationally, with a new programme currently in development.""

Karen Webb, east region director for the Royal College of Nursing, said: ""We've been horrified to see the very low numbers of qualified district nurses in operation in the East.

+"Mark Parsinen, who helped to lay out Castle Stuart Golf Links, near Inverness, said for 40 years the demand has been for harder courses. But with falling club memberships, he said the sport must try to balance the needs of professionals and amateurs. Mr Parsinen said golf should not be ""a thing of torture"". The co-architect of Kingsbarns in Fife and a developer of courses in the US said statistics showed golf club membership in Scotland had fallen by 17% since 2004 and a growing number of courses were closing, with high costs and length of playing time among the reasons cited. He said similar problems were affecting the game in America. Mr Parsinen said: ""Every 48 hours a golf course closes in the US. People don't want to spend their spare time looking for balls and being humiliated. ""Golf courses have evolved to have faster greens, narrower fairways, much longer rough and more penalty-laden 'hard edges'. ""Golfers have been facing increasingly difficult courses and challenges that are all too often humiliating and costly, both in time and the cost of lost balls."" He said the 1974 US Open at Winged Foot marked a ""sea change"" in golf course design. Golf's governing body in the United States, the USGA, argued at the time that tougher courses helped to ""identify"" the best golfers. But Mr Parsinen said: ""The logic that difficulty in golf is the way to identify the best players isn't entirely true, although it has held sway ever since Winged Foot - to the dismay of the average golfer after a protracted and almost unnoticeable trend towards difficulty becoming the 'be all and end all' of golf design. ""Over more than 40 years, our perception of what golf is all about has changed. How has golf turned into this torture thing?""

+"The 28-year-old will sign his contract on Tuesday and will be in place as pre-season training starts on Wednesday. The Scot left Valencia in May but said leaving Champions League football for a club who narrowly avoided Premier League relegation is a positive move. ""It's a forward step to a different type of football. Not stronger or weaker, different,"" he told BBC Sport. Cathro decided in February to vacate his role at Valencia - a position that seems likely to be filled by former Manchester United assistant Phil Neville - partly because he was keen to be closer to his family in Dundee, but also because he was eager to become a manager in his own right. Indeed, he was only dissuaded from doing so a year previously when head coach Nuno Espirito Santo asked his assistant to join him in making the move from Portuguese top flight side Rio Ave to Valencia. But Cathro, who held talks with Rangers before the appointment of Mark Warburton as the Ibrox club's manager, refused to entertain suggestions that accepting a role on the Newcastle staff was at odds with his stated ambitions. ""I wanted a fresh challenge and didn't want to just sit it out over there and wait for the right manager's job to come up,"" he said. ""To come into British football as a manager with no experience of working with English-speaking players is perhaps not advisable anyway so this makes perfect sense."" Ill-feeling and despair enveloped St James' Park last season, with fans angered by an apparent lack of interest and ambition on the part of owner Mike Ashley. However, Ashley's assurances over his commitment, promise of more investment and the appointment of McClaren have lifted spirits and convinced Cathro of the club's potential. ""Steve coming in has brought a freshness and enthusiasm to get the club back to where it should be and serve the love that exists for it,"" Cathro added. ""I'm convinced that it's a club willing to grow and would be comfortable higher in the league. It's now ready to do that."" A parallel could be drawn with the Valencia that Cathro discovered upon his arrival. The club were in flux off the pitch and floundering on it, having failed to qualify for European football the previous season. By the time he left 12 months later, the Mestalla outfit were in the Champions League qualifying round. It is a lot to leave behind, but Cathro has no regrets. ""I'm completely comfortable with it,"" he said. ""I'm going to watch Valencia in the Champions League and in La Liga and enjoy them playing in wonderful games in great stadiums. ""But I've no fear of missing out because the intention is to go to that level again. If that was with Newcastle, that would be perfect, but if not I'll certainly be back working abroad in the next five to 10 years."" Such confidence was partly what attracted Rangers to Cathro during their search for a new manager. It had been suggested that his decision to leave Spain was informed by that interest but the former Dundee United youth coach is adamant that the initial contact and two informal meetings with Ibrox directors Paul Murray and John Gilligan only came after he had decided to return to Scotland. ""I was interested in the uniqueness of the challenge,"" he said. ""And it would be foolish not to talk to them, but it may not have been the correct conditions for me to begin as a manager and perhaps they adopted a similar view. ""It was a positive experience and I'd wish them well because they demonstrated that they were keen to really look at what caused the issues on the football side in the past and build something different.""",Ian Cathro will be @placeholder as Steve McClaren 's assistant at Newcastle within the next 48 hours .,assessed,known,offered,reinstated,confirmed

+"Once again, many of the main performance targets - including ambulance response times, delays in A&E, and treatment for cancer - have been missed All this against a background of increased attendances, more referrals and GPs being busier than ever So is the NHS is stuck in a never-ending cycle of soaring demand? The kitchen at Stanborough Lodge care home in Welwyn Garden City is part of the NHS frontline in the fight to ease the strain on hospitals. The health service has funded training for staff at more than 20 homes in the area in skills such as nutrition and dementia care, and that has affected day-to-day activities such as encouraging residents to help prepare healthy food. It is one of 50 schemes across England under the ""Vanguard"" programme - to improve care and highlight ways of working efficiently.  There is close support from a GP linked to the home, and a pharmacist, Puja Vyas, who has tackled unnecessary medication. She said: ""They'll be on seven or eight medicines. The most I've seen is 16. There's a lot of things that could have been stopped years ago. ""I've got the time and expertise to go through the medicines they're taking, and say which ones the patient really needs."" Early results are encouraging. Last month there were no falls. Before the scheme there were about eight a month. Ambulance calls are down more than 30%. The NHS is pinning a lot on these schemes, which are being trialled in a range of settings. Nigel Edwards, from health think-tank the Nuffield Trust, says the initial findings from care home vanguards are encouraging, but some other areas have not fared so well. ""There are 400,000 or so people in care homes who constitute a significant amount of activity in emergency and geriatric medicine so that would definitely help. ""But there's also a big demand from younger patients and patients living at home. That's been harder to deal with."" So what is fuelling demand on the NHS? As well as a growing and ageing population, Nigel Edwards points to changing expectations and new treatments for patients who previously would have been beyond help. Unless the NHS adapts, he says, in the next five years it will need an extra 16,000 beds. But there is an argument the health service could manage demand comfortably, if it focussed better on patients' real needs. Hamish Dibley is an independent healthcare consultant who has worked for several health service trusts. All too often, he says, they confuse rising activity with demand - which he argues is stable and predictable. ""We've seen everyone who's going to appear in the urgent care system within the first three months of every financial year, and they keep repeating and boomeranging around year on year, until ultimately they die. He says this is entirely avoidable, if the system re-directs its efforts on what he calls the ""vital few"". Seventy-year-old Anthony Rodwell from Berkshire is a classic example of this group. Last autumn he was told he should have an operation to remove a wisdom tooth. Then he learned he needed major heart surgery, and he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Time and again the heart operation has been put back, and the cancer treatment disrupted, because of delays to the tooth procedure. He has been seen at nine different hospitals, culminating in an emergency admission for his heart. ""It seems appalling to me that you'd have to have so many appointments, speak to so many people, travel so many miles to so many different hospitals, to have different tests done. It just seems a terrible waste of resources to me."" Hamish Dibley says this case shows how a failure to get different parts of the system to pull together for the patient only increases activity. Nigel Edwards argues the challenge for the NHS is not just to curb admissions: the ""bigger win"" is in reducing length of stay. To do that, he says it is vital to invest more in community services and social care so patients can go home promptly. But he is worried. ""The community workforce is ageing. There have been reductions in some areas in numbers of community nurses. ""And I think we're going to have to see the NHS pull its finger out a bit in terms of making those investments.""

Philip Silk, Director of the Swinford (Sirocco) consortium, said the plan for 815 homes represented ""the largest residential development in the city centre"". He said it would include a mix of private, rental, social and affordable accommodation. The Sirocco site was originally used as a rope-making factory and ceased functioning as an industrial plant in 1999. In 2006, the Belfast-based Carvill Group bought the site for ?¡ê40m and proposed a mixed-use scheme, anchored by a supermarket. However the property crash intervened, Carvill went into administration and the site lay derelict.

+"Experts say it could be better than just checking blood pressure and cholesterol to assess heart risk. So far, they have tested it only on men, but the British Heart Foundation-funded researchers say it should work in women too. The test, called troponin, looks for a protein released when the heart muscle is damaged. Doctors already use the same blood test to help diagnose men and women who they suspect have just had a heart attack. But researchers from Edinburgh and Glasgow universities say it should be used to help patients avoid ever reaching this point. In their study, Prof Nicholas Mills and colleagues found men who had higher levels of troponin in their blood were more likely to have a heart attack or die of heart disease up to 15 years later. But putting some of these high-risk men on preventive treatment, such as cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins, lowered their risk as well as their troponin levels. The 3,300 men in the study had high cholesterol but no history of heart disease. The scientists now plan to do more research involving women too. Prof David Newby, one of the authors of the study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, said: ""Troponin is almost like a barometer of heart health. If it creeps up, that's bad and your risk of heart problems increases. If it goes down, that's good. ""It also appears to predict who benefits from statins and opens a door to a whole new way of testing."" He said it could be a useful addition to measures like blood pressure readings and smoking status when building up a picture of someone's heart risk. Prof Mills said: ""Troponin testing will help doctors to identify apparently healthy individuals who have silent heart disease so we can target preventive treatments to those who are likely to benefit most."" Dr Tim Chico, a cardiologist from Sheffield University, said: ""The problem with heart disease is that it remains very difficult to detect the early signs in people without symptoms, so these findings may provide a way to help identify people at risk. ""Nevertheless, the best way to treat heart disease is to prevent it in the first place, and this is why a healthy diet, regular physical activity, not smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight and blood pressure is so important.""",A @placeholder blood test can predict which apparently healthy patients are at high risk of a heart attack .,regular,powerful,special,major,cheap
+"Chancellor George Osborne changed the system in December to ensure taxes rose more gradually rather than jumping at each higher property price band. Stamp duty will be the first tax to be entirely devolved in 2018 and could raise ¡ê230m in the first year. It is levied on property sold for more than ¡ê125,000 but the Welsh Tories have pledged to double the limit. Launching the consultation, Finance Minister Jane Hutt told AMs on Tuesday the Labour Welsh government wanted to make a land transaction tax ""more effective, more efficient, and better suited to the priorities and needs of Wales"". In Scotland - where a property tax replaces stamp duty in April - the threshold will be raised to ¡ê145,000. Consultation begins on Tuesday and is open for 12 weeks. Another consultation - on landfill tax - will follow at the end of February. The taxes are among the powers being devolved under the Wales Act, in response to the findings of the Silk Commission. The problem Welsh government ministers have is that George Osborne took the wind out of their sails a few months ago when he smoothed out the steep rises in a major overhaul of stamp duty. This was something they had always intended on doing themselves when it's devolved in 2018. The question now is whether they introduce any further changes. Small alterations risk the accusation that it's tinkering and change for change's sake.

Together with the police and health services, local authorities, probation, voluntary groups and any other bodies connected to a victim will now have to examine together exactly what went wrong and consider how to spot the signs when someone's life is in danger. Speaking at the Crown Prosecution Service headquarters in central London on Tuesday, Mr Starmer said too many prosecutions were failing and more must be done to protect victims. He also stressed the need for victims to be supported both during and after criminal proceedings. He pointed to British Crime Survey findings which showed young women between the ages of 16 and 19 were most at risk of domestic abuse.

+"The FA says he broke rules by betting on ""football matches or competitions"" between 26 March 2006 and 13 May 2016. Barton, 34, is set to rejoin Burnley in January, having left Scottish Premiership side Rangers in November. In the same month, he was given a one-match ban for breaking Scottish Football Association rules on gambling. Barton admitted the Scottish FA charge of placing 44 bets between 1 July and 15 September, while he was a player at Ibrox, and his suspension will carry over into his Burnley career. He has until 5 January to respond to the FA charge. Barton can be registered and play for a club while the investigation is ongoing, but will next be available for Burnley in their Premier League home game against Southampton on 14 January. The FA brought in new rules in 2014 which ban players and staff at clubs down as far as the eighth tier of the English men's football pyramid - as well as at clubs in the Women's Super League - from betting on any football match or competition anywhere in the world. Players and staff are also prohibited from betting on football-related matters, such as player transfers, the employment of managers or team selection. That outright ban on football-related betting applies to all involved in the game from Premier League level down to - and including - the Northern Premier, Southern and Isthmian Leagues. Previously, participants were prohibited from betting on a match or competition in which they were involved or could influence. Barton has been charged with offences allegedly committed under both the new and old rules. His Rangers contract was terminated following a training ground row which led to a falling out with manager Mark Warburton and he played just eight games for the club. Barton began his career at Manchester City in 2001, joined Newcastle in 2007 and then signed for QPR in 2011. He had a loan spell with Marseille in France for 12 months, before joining Burnley for the first time in August 2015. It is understood that the FA was only made aware of the bets by the betting company in the last few months, which led to its investigation. The number of bets have resulted in a detailed and complex investigation and the timing of the charge is not related to Burnley's announcement that Barton is to rejoin them. Barton was expected to have been charged even if he had remained a free agent.

+"Norwegian energy firm Statoil has been granted a licence for the pilot scheme of five turbines. They will be attached to the seabed by a three-point mooring spread and anchoring system, making them easy to install in deep water. It is expected that the Hywind project could power up to 19,900 homes. The turbines will transport electricity via an export cable from the pilot park to the shore at Peterhead in Aberdeenshire just over 15 miles (25km) away. The pilot project is designed to demonstrate the technology on a commercial scale, according to Statoil. Construction is planned to start as early as next year with final commissioning in 2017, according the company. Currently offshore wind turbines are rigidly attached to the seabed which makes them difficult and expensive to install in deep water. The Carbon Trust believes that floating wind concepts have the potential to reduce generating costs to below ?¡ê100/MWh in commercial deployments, with the leading concepts such as Hywind producing even lower costs of ?¡ê85-?¡ê95MWh. Deputy First Minister John Swinney described Hywind as a ""hugely exciting project in terms of electricity generation and technology innovation"". He said: ""It's a real testament to our energy sector expertise and skilled workforce that Statoil chose Scotland for the world's largest floating wind farm. ""The momentum is building around the potential for floating offshore wind technology to unlock deeper water sites. ""The ability to leverage existing infrastructure and supply chain capabilities from the offshore oil and gas industry creates the ideal conditions to position Scotland as a world leader in floating wind technology."" Statoil's executive vice president for New Energy Solutions, Irene Rummelhoff, said floating wind technology represented ""a new, significant and increasingly competitive renewable energy source"". She added: ""Statoil's objective with developing this pilot park is to demonstrate a commercial, utility-scale floating wind solution, to further increase the global market potential. ""We are proud to develop this unique project in Scotland, in a region that has optimal wind conditions, a strong supply chain within oil and gas and supportive public policies."" WWF Scotland director Lang Banks welcomed the granting of the licence.

+"An official with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said the spread of the disease across the country made it very difficult to control. The West African state is facing a battle to contain the outbreak after cases were reported in areas that are hundreds of kilometres apart. Ebola is spread by close contact and kills between 25% and 90% of victims.

""This geographical spread is worrisome because it will greatly complicate the tasks of the organisations working to control the epidemic,"" Mr Lugli added. The outbreak of Ebola had centred around Guinea's remote south-eastern region of Nzerekore but it took the authorities six weeks to identify the disease. It has now spread to neighbouring Liberia, as well as Guinea's capital, Conakry, which has a population of two million people. Senegalese singer Youssou Ndour cancelled a concert in Conakry on Saturday because of the outbreak. Although he had already travelled to the city, he told the BBC it would not be a good idea to bring hundreds or thousands of people together in an enclosed area. Figures released overnight by Guinea's health ministry showed that there had been 78 deaths from 122 cases of suspected Ebola since January, up from 70. Of these, there were 22 laboratory confirmed cases of Ebola, the ministry said. Liberia has recorded a total of seven suspected and confirmed cases, including four deaths, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.

+"The emergency move by the environment secretary follows an investigation into damage caused to the flame shell reef in Loch Carron near Plockton. An environmental group has described it as ""too little, too late"". The inquiry confirmed that the damage was consistent with the impact of scallop dredging. But Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), which conducted the investigation, said there was a ""viable prospect of recovery"" because part of the bed had survived. The Loch Carron reef was dredged twice by scallop fisherman in April. Marine conservationists said the reef was ""devastated"" by the dredging and could take decades to recover. SNH sent divers down to the reef to assess and photograph the damage. The site has now been designated as a Marine Protected Area which prevents further dredging. Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: ""We take our duty to protect Scotland's rich marine environment extremely seriously and recognise the importance of safeguarding vulnerable habitats like flame shell beds.

""The objective of the measure is to attract new investments, generating wealth for the country and employment and income for society, always based on the precepts of sustainability,"" the ministry said in a statement. But opposition Senator Randolfe Rodrigues denounced the move as ""the biggest attack on the Amazon of the last 50 years"", O Globo newspaper reported (in Portuguese). Maur¨ªcio Voivodic, head of the conservation body WWF in Brazil, warned last month that mining in the area would lead to ""demographic explosion, deforestation, the destruction of water resources, the loss of biodiversity and the creation of land conflict"".

The WWF says there is potential for conflict too in two indigenous reserves that are home to various  ethnic communities living in relative isolation.

+"UK financial regulators have opened an investigation into Barclays boss, Jes Staley, over the whistleblowing case. Mr Staley asked the bank's security chief, Troels Oerting, to find the author of an anonymous letter. The letter questioned the past conduct of a senior recruit, Tim Main, who was a former colleague of Mr Staley. The Barclays chief executive had worked with Mr Main for several years while they were at the investment bank JP Morgan. Mr Staley has now received a formal reprimand and a personal financial penalty - which could exceed ?¡ê1m - from his own board. Mr Oerting formerly worked for Europol and is more familiar with being asked to tackle issues of fraud, money laundering and cyber crime. As one insider put it: ""He's a former cop - he calls other cops"". The anonymous letter had a US postmark and Mr Oerting contacted US federal law enforcement agencies to help track down its origin. His enquiry has attracted the attention of the Department for Financial Services in the US. He joined Barclays in 2015 after heading up Europol's Cyber Crime Unit. The BBC is awaiting comment from Mr Oerting. The attempt by Mr Staley to identify the person who sent the anonymous letter has been referred to the Financial Conduct Authority, and the Prudential Regulation Authority, as a potential breach of strict new rules concerning the treatment of whistleblowers. Mr Staley has admitted he made an error of judgement by getting too personally involved in a matter which should have been left to bank compliance staff. He has apologised to the board and tried to explain himself in a letter to staff. Mr Staley told Barclays employees that he mistakenly did not consider the issue as one of whistleblowing, and instead saw it as an attempt to maliciously smear someone with previous personal problems. The BBC understands that the anonymous letter did not raise any issues of which the personnel department at Barclays were unaware before Mr Main was hired. The whole episode is an unusual and unwelcome distraction for a bank that is trying to put reputational problems behind it. The bank's board held a four hour meeting on Sunday to consider the appropriate penalties for Mr Staley - including his potential dismissal. Mr Staley is popular within the firm and with investors. Whether that, and the penalties already imposed on him, will be enough to pacify regulators who value, and protect, whistleblowers is yet to be seen.","The head of security at Barclays faces an internal @placeholder probe over his part in a whistleblowing inquiry , the BBC understands .",easy,extraordinary,independent,immediate,disciplinary

+"Earlier this week, Hungary stopped migrants from travelling onwards by train, prompting hundreds to set off walking towards the border with Austria. Under pressure, Hungary eventually relaxed restrictions on the movement of asylum seekers. Buses and coaches have transported thousands of migrants from the Hungarian capital Budapest  to the Austrian border, with others travelling by train. Hungary said on Saturday that its bus service to the border had been a one-off measure, however. When they reached the border, migrants waited to board buses to a train station in the Austrian village of Nickelsdorf.  Hungary has said it is pressing ahead with plans to tighten border controls despite temporarily relaxing the restrictions. Austrian police officers helped people board trains in Nickelsdorf, with some picking up young children. From there, many headed to Vienna. There were large crowds at the western rail station in Vienna as the migrants arrived.  For many, the destination was Munich. When they arrived in Munich on a special train service, they were greeted with cheers and applause by locals who had gathered to greet them. This little boy was given a kiss by a volunteer worker when he arrived in Munich. Many volunteers had brought food and toys for the new arrivals. Some 450 people arrived on the first service into Munich.

+"A TV advert claimed a ¡ê70 Aldi shop would cost ¡ê98 at the ""big four"" supermarkets. Morrisons and two members of the public complained the adverts did not make it clear Aldi's own-brand products were being compared with branded products. Aldi said comparative advertising was a ""well-established principle"". The German discount supermarket chain said consumers were likely to interpret the comparison as intended - the branded and fresh products from Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons shown versus the Aldi products shown. It said it believed consumers would know that its competitors stocked own-brand products which met the same need and would likely be cheaper and, in any case, on-screen text read: ""Other supermarkets may sell 'own brand' products at different prices."" The ruling applied to two TV adverts and a press advert. The adverts claimed a ¡ê70 Aldi shop would cost ¡ê98 at the ""big four"" grocers and compared a ¡ê33.04 Aldi basket with the equivalent at its competitors, which it claimed would cost ¡ê53.35. A press ad read: ""When it comes to the crunch, Aldi win every time. Other supermarkets go up, down, all over the place. But Aldi have 'everyday low prices', so you know where you stand."" The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said: ""We acknowledged that Aldi stated they had not intended the comparisons to represent a 'typical' weekly shop, but to be a comparison between the pictured products only. ""Nonetheless, we considered that was how consumers would interpret the adverts rather than as a representation of the savings which could be made by switching from a largely branded shop to shopping in Aldi, and therefore assessed them on that basis."" Aldi's UK and Ireland chief executive Matthew Barnes said it was ""extremely disappointed"" with the ""ambiguous and inconsistent"" decision. ""The use of comparative advertising is a well-established principle and is firmly in the interests of consumers and encourages competition between retailers,"" he said.

+"The two sides, which have been holding talks in Cuba for four years, said the revised plan incorporated proposals from the opposition and others groups. The initial deal had been deemed to be too favourable to the left-wing rebels. The new agreement is not expected to be put to another popular vote, but rather submitted to Congress. ""We have reached a new final agreement to end the armed conflict, which incorporates changes, clarifications and some new contributions from various social groups,"" the two sides said in a statement. It was read by diplomats from Cuba and Norway, the mediating countries, in the Cuban capital, Havana. The statement did not give details of the revised agreement but Colombia's lead negotiator, Humberto de la Calle, said it ""resolves many criticisms"" of the previous deal. One new requirement was for the Farc to draw up a complete list of its assets, to be used for victim compensation, he added. Further details are expected to be released over the weekend. However the leader of the ""No"" campaign, former President Alvaro Uribe, said the new proposals did not go far enough. The previous deal was rejected by 50.2% of voters in a vote held on 2 October. Many objected to the lenient sentences given to fighters who confessed to crimes. Some would have avoided serving any time in conventional prisons. Those who opposed the deal also balked at the government's plan to pay demobilised Farc rebels a monthly stipend while offering those wanting to start a business financial help. Polls had initially indicated that the agreement would be approved by a comfortable margin, but opposition to the agreement had been stronger than expected. Despite the rejection of the deal by voters, President Juan Manuel Santos was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in the negotiations. Farc, Colombia's largest rebel group, was formed in 1964 with the stated intention of overthrowing the government and installing a Marxist regime. After modest beginnings, the group rose to prominence through the 1980s and 1990s as its association with the drugs trade improved its financial standing. At its peak it was the largest and best-equipped guerrilla force in Latin America. But the number of active Farc fighters has diminished from its estimated high of 20,000 to about 7,000 after thousands of guerrilla fighters were demobilised or killed. Colombia's second-largest rebel group, the National Liberation Army (ELN), has also been engaged in an armed conflict for more than five decades. About 260,000 people have killed and millions displaced in the 52-year conflict.","The Colombian government and the Farc rebel group have announced a new peace agreement , six weeks after the @placeholder deal was rejected in a popular vote .",ancestral,current,annual,original,new

+"Media playback is not supported on this device The Briton, who rides for Team Sky, was granted TUEs twice previously, in May 2013 and April 2014, to treat asthma. Froome was told he had a condition that required a TUE during the 2015 Tour. However, he said: ""I didn't feel having a TUE in the last week of the Tour was something I was prepared to do. It did not sit well morally with me."" In 2013 Froome's TUE allowed him to use prednisolone for his asthma for a week before winning the Criterium du Dauphine - a week-long race in June which is usually a good indicator of form leading into July's Tour de France - while in 2014 he took it for a week during the Tour de Romandie, as he defended his title. Britain's most decorated Olympian Sir Bradley Wiggins, who retired in December, and Team Sky have come under scrutiny for Wiggins' use of TUEs and the contents of a medical package he received in 2011, after his confidential medical information was leaked by hackers 'Fancy Bears'. TUEs allow the use of otherwise banned substances if athletes have a genuine medical need, and Wiggins, an asthma sufferer, said he sought them to ""put himself back on a level playing field"". Froome told BBC Sport it was ""healthy"" to be asking questions about why Wiggins was granted a TUE to take anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone before the 2011 Tour de France, his 2012 Tour win and the 2013 Giro d'Italia. There is no suggestion that either Froome, Wiggins, British Cycling or Team Sky have broken any rules. British Cycling has been unable to provide paperwork to prove the contents of a medical package delivered to Sir Bradley Wiggins in France in 2011, according to MP Damian Collins. Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford told MPs earlier in December the package used by Wiggins contained a decongestant but did not have supporting documentary evidence. Froome, who says he is aiming to win a fourth Tour de France title this year, added: ""The fact that we're having that debate about authenticity means there's a problem with the system. ""I think Wada [the World Anti-Doping Agency] need to tighten their regulations around TUEs, so they're not something that we question, their legitimacy.

+"They claim the holders of the copyright are not entitled to charge for the use of We Shall Overcome, which was sung by supporters of Martin Luther King Jr's campaign against institutional racism. The song has a long history and can be traced back to a 19th Century hymn. It was later used by the labour movement in the early 20th Century. We Shall Overcome was taken up as a rally cry and was sung at the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama, led by Martin Luther King. The song was popularised in the 1960s by folk musician Pete Seeger and others, which led it to be copyrighted as a ""derivative work"". Seeger's arrangement has since been performed by many artists, including Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen and Pink Floyd's Roger Waters. The current dispute arose when a California-based group called the We Shall Overcome Foundation sought permission to include the song in a documentary.

Lawyers from Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman have now taken up the case, claiming that licensing fees for We Shall Overcome have been ""unlawfully demanded and extracted"".

+"Minutes from the central bank's October meeting show officials were concerned about stock market fluctuations and weakness abroad. However, they worried that saying so could send the wrong message. Overall, officials were confident the US economy was on a strong footing. That is why they decided to end their stimulus programme - known as quantitative easing (QE) - in which the Fed bought bonds in order to keep long-term interest rates low and thus boost spending. ""In their discussion of the asset purchase programme, members generally agreed???.???.???.???there was sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy to support ongoing progress toward maximum employment,"" read the minutes, referring to the decision to end QE. US markets reacted in a muted way to the news, with the Dow Jones briefly rising before falling once more into the red for the day. However, to reassure markets that the Fed would not deviate from its set course, the central bank decided to keep its ""considerable time"" language in reference to when the Fed would raise its short term interest rate. That interest rate - known as the federal funds rate - has been at 0% since late 2008, when the Fed slashed rates in the wake of the financial crisis. Most observers expect that the bank will begin raising that rate in the middle of 2015, mostly in an effort to keep inflation in check as the US recovery gathers steam. However, US Fed chair Janet Yellen has sought to reassure market participants that the bank will not act in haste and remains willing to change its timeline should economic conditions deteriorate in the US. The minutes also show that the Fed is still concerned about possibly lower-than-expected inflation, particularly as oil prices continue to decline and wage growth remains sluggish. ""Many participants observed the Committee should remain attentive to evidence of a possible down shift in longer-term inflation expectations; some of them noted if such an outcome occurred, it would be even more worrisome if growth faltered,"" they read. That led some on Wall Street to believe that the central bank might put off a rate raise even further into the future, if the outlook for inflation changes significantly.","Although the US Federal Reserve was worried about turmoil in emerging markets , the central bank reached an easy @placeholder to end its stimulus programme , its latest minutes reveal .",opportunity,target,consensus,efforts,decision

+"Powerful lock Skelton, 23, sustained a pectoral injury during the Wallabies' 65-3 victory over Uruguay on Sunday. Number eight Palu, 33, injured his hamstring in the match and will be replaced by hooker James Hanson, 27. Lock Sam Carter, 26, will replace Skelton in the squad. Australia coach Michael Cheika told the team's official website: ""Very few players have the opportunity to play for the Wallabies, let alone at a Rugby World Cup, so I'm really gutted for them. ""They both play important roles in the side and it is disappointing that we need to replace players. ""James and Sam have been part of the team at various stages this season and I am confident they will be able to step up and grasp the opportunity."" Australia, who comfortably won their opening game against Fiji 28-13, face their first major test on Saturday when they play England at Twickenham in a must-win match for Stuart Lancaster's side. Coach Cheika surprised many by only naming two hookers in his 31-man squad, but has decided not to replace Palu with another back-rower, instead calling on Hanson, who flew out from Australia on Monday. Cheika said Palu's injury meant the 33-year-old had ""likely"" played his final game for the Wallabies as he has signed to play in Japan next season and falls three caps short of Australia's 60-cap threshold for overseas-based internationals. The loss of New South Wales Waratahs player Skelton, who weighing 140kg was the second heaviest player at the tournament, is a significant one for Australia as his ball-carrying ability will be missed. Cheika said unbeaten Wallabies were underdogs for the Twickenham match, which England must win if they are to qualify from Pool A. ""We're playing in the oppositions back yard,"" he said. ""They've been very successful at that ground. It's just about being ready to be ourselves and play the best we possibly can. ""Every team has the ability to bounce back.

The rescue operation was ""a bit of a head scratcher,"" said a post on the NIFRS West Facebook page. One of the fire fighters tried his best ""mother sheep impression"". But, when that did not work, the crew turned to modern technology - an app that imitated sheep noises -  to coax the lamb out. This got the lamb to shimmy further up the pipe, though not quite close enough to be grabbed by the fire fighters. They then called in a local farmer and his trained sheep dog - and they helped retrieve the lamb and bring it to safety. Harold Crawford said: ""I brought the old dog and the young dog, I brought the old dog for he's a jealous old dog but I thought the young dog would be the better dog, for he's thinner."" However it transpired that the older dog, Rover, took the main role in the rescue at its own insistence, despite his wider girth. ""Rover, he looked at it, and looked at me and I just said 'away with ye' and away he went."" Rover and the lamb emerged from the pipe a few seconds later. ""I don't know where he gets his energy from for he'd need to go on a diet,"" added Harold. In the post, the NIFRS was quick to point out that the fire appliance was available for emergencies throughout the operation. ""Usually when we post about incidents like this we attract the occasional comment about waste of resources etc, so just to assure everyone that the appliance was available for emergencies throughout,"" it said. ""We liaise with other agencies such as USPCA and an officer attends incidents such as this to assess, and we only commit resources if it is warranted."" The spokesperson added: ""At this time of year we are reminding the farming community to 'think safety first' and to ensure that potential hazards such as broken fences, drains and ditches are properly maintained.

In its submission to the inquiry the Electoral Reform Society said: ""We are disappointed that the inquiry is not accepting submissions about whether peers should be elected or appointed."" The submission continues: ""Limiting the size alone does nothing to address... its lack of representativeness, the 'cronyism' it is perceived to embody, and its fundamental lack of accountability. ""This limitation risks creating a public perception that the inquiry is a 'stitch-up'.""

The spokeswoman added: ""We are getting our own House in order. The committee is the next step in that process.""

He decided not to refer the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill to the Supreme Court. A meeting of the president's advisory body, the Council of State, was held on Monday to consider the bill. President Higgins held four hours of talks with the council before making his decision. He had until Wednesday to either sign the bill into law or refer it to the Supreme Court to assess its constitutionality. President Higgins' signing of the bill into law, means it does not have to be forwarded to the Supreme Court to determine whether it is constitutional.

The UN said tension was high and they feared more families could flee. According to the UN, various groups operate or have operated in the region: the Farc, Colombia's second largest guerrilla group, the ELN, and criminal and ex-paramilitary groups. Norte de Santander has emerged as the country's main hub for coca cultivation. Last week, peasant farmer organisations in the region, around Catatumbo, blocked the demobilisation of Farc units saying that their departure would leave them unprotected as the paramilitary groups gathered nearby. There have also been reports by local communities of an increased presence of criminal groups in at least three other departments: Antioquia, Uraba and Choco. The Farc has largely left towns and rural areas it occupied and most of the fighters have gathered in 26 concentration zones under the watch of a multinational commission. The Colombian military have moved into some territories in Tolima and Huila departments but, according to the government's Peace and Reconciliation Foundation, it is proving difficult to take over in more isolated regions because of the problems of terrain and lack of access. The Farc is expected to hand over its arms by the end of May. It has agreed to co-operate with investigations into drug trafficking and war crimes.

+"Ronald Aldom, 77, from Portishead near Bristol, had an unusual heart rhythm called ventricular tachychardia that can be fatal if left unchecked. Medics had tried to treat it using standard methods but with no success. They resorted to using pure ethanol to trigger a controlled heart attack and kill off some of his heart muscle. The procedure involved passing a catheter into a blood vessel in the groin and guiding it up towards the heart. Once the catheter identifies which part of the heart the dangerous rhythms are coming from, the ethanol dose can be delivered. This kills the area of the heart muscle causing the problem allowing the heart's rhythm to return to normal. This rare treatment has only been conducted a handful of times in the UK.

FireChat has become popular with users congregating in large crowds, such as at music festivals and protests, where mobile signals may be overloaded. Previously, conversations via the app were chatroom-based and public. The move to enable end-to-end encryption makes FireChat the first widely-used social mesh network which claims to offer private communications. However, no technical details about the encryption technology itself have yet been released. News of the development has been greeted with some positivity by privacy campaigners. ""Firechat's announcement that it will seek to provide end-to-end encrypted messaging is a positive step for privacy,"" said Richard Tynan, a technologist at Privacy International. ""However, it remains to be seen whether the quality of these implementations actually lives up to the claims.

Its shares closed down 0.6% at ¡ê12.26 despite increasing the dividend. Axel Springer had wooed Pearson for a long time to be in a position to make an offer for the FT, whereas Nikkei only began its courtship five weeks ago, the FT said. In a dramatic last minute flurry, Nikkei managed to clinch the deal in the final 10 minutes of discussions, it added. Nikkei - an abbreviation of ""Nihon Keizai Shinbun"" which means ""Japanese Economic Newspaper"" - is a widely respected Japanese business publication. The broadsheet dominates Japanese-language business media with 3.16-million paid subscribers, of which 430,000 are online. The Japanese newspaper had been trying to break into English-speaking international markets for decades, but had not enjoyed wide success outside of Japan. Publishing group Pearson announced on Thursday that it had agreed to sell the Financial Times Group to Nikkei for ¡ê844m. Financial Times journalists seem somewhat shell-shocked by yesterday's turn of events, but relieved to be told by their leaders that the new owners are committed to editorial independence and to growing the business. As a former editor Richard Lambert told the BBC, having paid such a high price, Nikkei would be crazy to do anything to damage the newspaper.

+"Michaela Biancofiore was defending herself against accusations of homophobia made by human rights groups. But she invoked more wrath with Saturday's comments to Italian media. The sacking is an upset for Prime Minister Enrico Letta's one week old left-right coalition, analysts say. On Friday, Mr Letta, the Democratic Party deputy leader (PD), warned ministers in the fledgling government to work together and maintain ""sobriety"" when talking to the media. Ms Biancofiore, a member of ex-PM Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right People of Freedom party (PDL), has been redeployed to the civil service ministry. She says she supports ""civil unions"" to protect gay couples but opposes gay marriage. But Saturday's Italian newspapers quoted her as saying: ""For once, I would like to see gay associations, instead of 'ghettoising' themselves... say something to condemn the recent spate of killings of women (in Italy)... All they do is defend their own interests."" Mr Letta's new coalition is proving as fragile as forecast, because old political enemies of left and right are finding it difficult to work together as a team, says the BBC's David Willey in Rome.

Friday's swearing-in of the new government at Rome's presidential Quirinale Palace signalled the end of two months of political deadlock.

In the run-up to the vote, party leaders took part in televised debates, with Mr Rutte and Mr Wilders clashing over how to stem immigration. Mr Rutte dismissed Mr Wilders's plan to close borders and mosques and to ban the Koran as ""fake solutions"". Mr Wilders accused Mr Rutte of providing better healthcare for immigrants than for the Dutch themselves. Lodewijk Asscher of the Labour Party, the junior party in Mr Rutte's coalition, called Mr Wilders a man of ""10,000 angry tweets and no solutions"". The row with Turkey followed Mr Rutte's decision to ban two Turkish ministers from addressing rallies in the country.  In response, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the Netherlands of being ""Nazi remnants"". Mr Wilders described protesters who rioted outside the Turkish consulate in Rotterdam at the weekend as ""scum"". One opinion poll suggested that the spat, and the riots in Rotterdam, had given anti-immigrant parties a boost. Wednesday's election is expected to be followed by protracted coalition talks. Analysts say a strong showing for Mr Wilders could foreshadow next month's presidential election in France, where far-right, anti-EU contender Marine Le Pen has widespread support.

+"In 1666, fires in London were quite common. Homes didn't have electricity, so real flames were used for lighting, cooking, and heating homes. Also buildings were made out of using wooden timbers and were built closely together, so once they'd started it was pretty easy for fires to spread. No fire had ever grown as big as the Great Fire of London before. The summer of 1666 had been particularly dry, with drought making it more likely that fires would spread. It's thought that the fire started in a baker's shop early in the morning. The shop belonged to the king's baker, Thomas Farynor, in Pudding Lane. With strong winds, the fire spread quickly down Pudding Lane, towards the River Thames and London Bridge. As the fire reached the River Thames, it passed over warehouses full of flammable materials like oil, which quickly set on fire. After just a few hours, London Bridge was on fire too. The fire was stopped from reaching the south side of the river because a section of the bridge was missing. Famous buildings including St Paul's Cathedral, The Royal Exchange, and the Guildhall were completely destroyed, as well as 13,200 houses, and 87 parish churches. Firefighting was much more basic in 1666, and people didn't know nearly as much about stopping fires as we do today. Fire brigades used leather buckets, axes and water to try and stop the fire but, unsurprisingly, they didn't work very well. Instead, a plan was suggested to blow up houses in the path of the fire, so that there would be an area with no houses to act as fuel for the fire to keep growing. The Navy used gunpowder to destroy the buildings and by the next morning, the fire had been stopped. Up to a third of the city was destroyed and more than 70 thousand people were made homeless. Six people were recorded to have lost their lives as a result of the fire but it's thought many more could have died.","The 2 September 2016 marks 350 years since the start of the Great Fire of London , which changed the skyline of the capital city @placeholder .",twice,sharply,extensively,again,forever

The documentary features interviews with his bandmates Billy Cox and the late Mitch Mitchell, as well as Sir Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood and Kirk Hammett of Metallica.

+"As we drove through the first small villages on the way to the capital Port-au-Prince, we could see the damage the hurricane was still inflicting. The roads were already awash with rushing muddy floodwaters, the people we passed were trying to cover themselves as best they could, but they were struggling just to move against the pouring rain. Haiti's capital is disorientating. You lose all sense of being on a tropical island in the Caribbean. It is a city crammed with people. Its broken buildings, sewage and rubbish-strewn streets are tough and the bad weather brought by the storm only makes them more inhospitable, but life goes on. We drove past busy street markets, people loaded on their bikes or walking with their shopping. This is a country used to disaster. It looked like the Haitians of Port-au-Prince were determined to carry on. We only began to see the real destructive force of Hurricane Matthew once we moved towards the south-west of the country. Trees fallen, banana crops uprooted and flattened, houses under water and men and women trying to get the debris out of the way. It was noticeable how the people we passed were coping alone. There were no army or police around to help. Even the aid agencies are struggling to move around this damaged corner of the country. As if the hurricane had not hurt the people and their lives enough, a crucial route to those hit hardest by the storm was destroyed. A bridge was washed away, leaving a wide muddy river between those who survived and the people stricken in the south. The people in this town split by the rushing brown river were trying to do their bit too. A man with a shovel hopelessly digging a hole in the ground, others chopping away trees that had fallen in the road. We were on the river bank looking at the misery, only to be told we were actually standing where four families' homes had stood just days before. More rain fell on now homeless people. A mother told us her children had just started school and their new uniforms had been washed away. Among the tears from those who lost their lives to the river, there was also laughter and cheers from people on the banks as others tried to cross.

Today's big compromise announcement will be the composition and remit of the panel which will assess the operational case for the powers, under the leadership of the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, David Anderson QC. This matters because the panel have to report by the time the bill reaches committee stage in the House of Lords, and if they called for significant changes that would be pretty hard for ministers to resist.

+"Gunfire was heard on Tuesday night after the 30 presidential candidates were announced, reports AFP. Francois Bozize is one of 14 candidates banned from running for office in the vote scheduled for 27 December. He accused the constitutional court of banning him because of foreign pressure. Mr Bozize was president of CAR for 10 years until he fled to neighbouring Cameroon in 2013 when a group of mostly Muslim rebels - called the Seleka - briefly took control of the country. This sparked reprisals from a mainly Christian militia, called the anti-Balaka, who are seen as close to Mr Bozize. Violence between the rival militias has killed thousands and displaced nearly a quarter of the CAR population. Pope Francis recently urged rival factions to stop fighting, when he visited a mosque in the capital, Bangui. The UN sanctions committee accused Mr Bozize of ""providing support to acts which undermined the peace"". He is banned by the UN from travelling and his assets have been frozen. Patrice-Edouard Ngaissona, a leader of the anti-Balaka, was also banned from running for president. On Friday, Nourredine Adam, who heads a Seleka splinter group, said he would not allow elections to go ahead in the areas under his control, including the northern town of Kaga-Bandoro.

+"Senior sources very close to the process have told the BBC that there needs to be more ""confidence building"" about the environmental impact of a new runway at Heathrow, if the government backs it. And that means yet another review. And that expansion at Gatwick will not be ruled out. One source told me that keeping both options on the table means that the airport operators can have their feet ""held to the fire"" over dealing with environmental concerns. That may mean demanding that Heathrow bans staff from driving to work. Or saying that all ""airside"" vehicles (that is vehicles that operate within the airport's perimeter) have to be electric. The government also wants to be able to force more money out of Heathrow or Gatwick - if either are given the go-ahead - to pay compensation to local people who are affected. Keeping both options on the table increases the government's leverage. The decision that there will be yet another delay is likely to go down very badly with businesses which have demanded that the government ""get on"" with expanding Britain's aviation capacity. But the politics of this decision appears to have held sway. David Cameron is still concerned that any decision to back Heathrow will put his ""no ifs, no buts"" pledge in 2009 that there will be no third runway at Heathrow in sharp relief. And that he will face a barrage of criticism that he is not a man of his word. Further, if a decision is not taken until next summer, that means it will come after the election for the next mayor of London, which is in May. Which is convenient, given that the Conservative candidate, Zac Goldsmith, is implacably opposed to Heathrow expansion. As is the Labour candidate, Sadiq Khan. The decision on the new environmental review is set to be taken by the Economic and Domestic Cabinet sub-committee on Thursday, which the prime minister chairs. And it's likely to be announced on the same day. Of course, we are still three days away from that committee meeting and, as with all things Heathrow (and, frankly, government on issues of aviation policy) things could change. The meeting was initially due to be held last week but was derailed by the crisis in Syria. It was only a week ago that most were predicting a favourable outcome for Heathrow, including the airport itself. That now appears to have been over-optimistic.

+"The proposed new ground at Burringham was given the green light earlier by North Lincolnshire Council. It will replace the League One side's 9,000-capacity ground at Glanford Park, which itself only opened in 1988. Plans include a bar, gym, hotel and offices. Scunthorpe United said its aspirations were ""no longer met by the existing stadium"". When Glanford Park was built in the 1980s, it was the first new stadium built by a Football League club since the end of World War Two and the move began an era of dozens of new stadiums opening across the country. Scunthorpe, who previously played at the Old Show Ground, which is now the site of a supermarket, would become the first Football League club to have built a new stadium since the 1980s to subsequently move again to another newly-built ground. The club said it wanted another ground so it could realise its ""ambitions of playing in a higher division"". Scunthorpe were in the fourth tier of the league when Glanford Park was built, currently play in the third tier and have spent three seasons in the past decade in the Championship, the Football League's second level. It has also submitted outline planning permission for a multi-use arena and outdoor football pitches at the site. The new stadium would be at a 23 hectare-site to the west of the town, by Brumby Common Lane. The club must adhere to conditions set by the council regarding ecology and construction. The council said the site was within the northern part of the Lincolnshire Lakes Area Action Plan, due to be developed by 2028 with 6,000 houses, retail and leisure facilities  on ""a modern campus environment"". The option to redevelop Glanford Park was dismissed because the club said the pitch size, existing buildings and access would cause ""significant"" problems.

+"In response to what happened to Grace, in April 2015 coroner Penelope Schofield issued a Regulation 28 Report to Prevent Future Deaths, and the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) has issued guidance. Such reports are issued if it appears there is a risk of other deaths occurring in similar circumstances, but do not necessarily arise from an inquest. It's a bedside crib with an adjustable height so parents can make it the same level as their bed. The side flaps down to open on to the main bed's mattress so that there is no gap between the baby's sleeping area and the main bed. This means the baby cannot slip between the crib and the bed. Many people believe co-sleeping can be dangerous, and parents may be anxious about accidentally rolling on to their baby in their sleep. The Bednest means the baby can sleep close to the parents without actually being in the bed, and the parent can see and reach the baby without the side of a cot in the way. The side of the Bednest had three positions - fully up, fully down and halfway up. Grace was put to bed with the side in the halfway position and with the head end tilted up higher than the feet - which some parents find helps relieve reflux. The tilt should be no more than 5cm, but Grace was tilted 8cm. When her mother checked on her, Grace had managed to move her head over the side of the crib. The weight of her head meant she could not roll free, and she became unable to breathe and died. The company said the crib should only be used with the side fully up or fully down. The current version of the cot has been modified so the side cannot be left in the halfway position. Bednest has also issued a free kit for people who own a pre-modification crib, which can be fitted to make sure the sides are either fully up or down. Advice on its website says the Bednest should never be used with the folding panel in the half-raised position. The company told the BBC: ""We continue our programme to reach all owners of pre-November 2015 Bednests and we are monitoring online second hand sales of cribs closely, contacting anyone who appears not to have the modification fitted. Any purchaser of a replacement mattress is notified to check that they have a modified Bednest. ""We send our heartfelt condolences to the Roseman family for the tragic death of baby Grace and we continue to work to do everything we can to ensure the safety of all children using our equipment. This is at the heart of our company's ethos."" Following Grace's death, the NCT carried out an investigation which identified a ""small but plausible"" safety risk when using the Bednest crib in the halfway folded-down position. It also stated that using the crib with the folding side fully up (or fully down if bedside-sleeping) eliminates the risk that a baby could move on to or over the side of the crib. Coroner Penelope Schofield said in 2015 she had ""a number of concerns"". These included: Yes, but only the modified version. If used correctly, the NCT says the Bednest is completely safe. Customers are urged to keep the paper instructions and pass them on to the new owners should they sell their Bednest second-hand. The manufacturer provides the latest user guides and instructions on its website. The NCT, which formerly sold the Bednest via its website, no longer has an online shopping division. The charity said this was a ""commercial decision"".

However, the report says overall economic performance continues to lag behind other UK regions. It adds that the Northern Ireland economy ""remains heavily reliant on consumer expenditure"". Reflecting on the recent budget, the report concludes that Northern Ireland's share of ?¡ê30bn of planned additional austerity will ""impact severely"" on public spending in the period to 2018/19.

+"The average figures since 2010 were confirmed by the PSNI. They came after a senior police officer said officers were coming under threat predominately from dissident republicans, but also from loyalist paramilitaries. ""There is a steady drumbeat of that,"" Det Ch Const Drew Harris said. ""We could expect every month one or two officers to be in the position where they're having to move home."" he told the BBC's Nolan Show. The figures released by the PSNI indicated that an average of seven officers had been moved after being threatened since 2010. On average, nine officers were also admitted into the PSNI Home Security Aid scheme per year. The scheme involves security features, such as reinforced doors, cameras and security lights, being installed at the homes of officers. Meanwhile, an investigation by the BBC's Nolan Show found that mental health-related absence within the PSNI had increased by almost 40% in four years. Mr Harris said this created huge upheaval. Last month, the PSNI said it was working hard to bring those carrying out paramilitary shootings to court after the number of such attacks doubled in the last year. Twenty-eight paramilitary-style shootings were recorded in 2016-17, with republicans believed to be responsible for 25 and loyalists for the other three. A further 66 people were the victims of paramilitary-style assaults, police said. In February, it was revealed that police in Northern Ireland deal with one paramilitary death threat against a member of the community each day.

The machine was used by German forces in Norway and seized by the Norwegian secret services after the war. It has been given to the UK on long-term loan by the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum. It is thought about 200 were in operation during the war, but only four still exist. The model has a number of inner components missing - including an all-important working motor.

""So for the Welsh Government to be letting a franchise for the first time represents a big challenge. With no experience to fall back on it is doing everything from scratch.

Let's start with the language used by the Conservatives: ""radical"", ""divisive"" and a ""dangerous experiment"". That's how Mr Goldsmith has described his opponent. Labour argues this was to plant the false idea in the minds of voters of their man as a radicalised Islamist.

Mr Gudmandsson added that the dramatic fall in the value of Iceland's currency following the banking crisis had been ""very difficult"" for companies and households, and joining the euro would lessen the exchange rate risk for the financial sector. The future of the eurozone has been questioned after the Irish Republic became the second eurozone member after Greece to seek a bailout.  And some analysts say the debt crisis could worsen and spread to other members, putting the euro at risk. But Mr Gudmandsson said he didn't believe the common currency was the problem, rather that banks were ""undercapitalised... and that regulation and supervision wasn't strict enough"". The European Union has begun membership talks with Iceland, and the country is viewed as having a strong case for joining because of its already close trading and economic links with the EU.

Scientists examined woodland in Strathspey in the Cairngorms National Park where 75% of Scotland's capercaillie are found.

The five episodes will feature Kevin R McNally, who appeared in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, as Hancock. Other characters will be played by W1A and Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa actor Simon Greenall, Hugo and Hot Fuzz star Kevin Eldon and Sherlock actor Robin Sebastian. Recording begins at the BBC Radio Theatre in London on Tuesday. Hancock's Half Hour was an immediate critical and ratings success. In 1956, Hancock's Half Hour was made into a TV series and both versions alternated until 1959. The TV show remained faithful to the radio series, although only Sid James was retained from the cast. The radio show wound down in 1959, while on television, Hancock was becoming concerned at the increasing popularity of his co-star James. James played the man-on-the-street foil to Hancock's pompous character, with viewers often siding with James. As a result, Hancock decided that following the 1960 series, James was to be dropped and the show would continue without him, re-titled simply Hancock.",Five missing episodes from @placeholder 1950s radio series Hancock 's Half Hour are to be re-recorded and aired on BBC Radio 4 later this year .,rare,classic,major,becoming,professional

+"Oscar-nominated actor Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as coke-snorting hedonist who faces death on his 40th birthday. Poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy's reworking of the 15th-century morality play is described in one review as ""a seductive spectacle"". Another, however, found it a ""dumbed-down jumble"". Norris's production features an impressive arsenal of stage effects including a giant video screen, suspended silver statues and a wind machine - along with energetic choreography by Javier de Frutos. Kate Duchene plays God as a cleaning lady who opens the play sweeping the floor. The character of Death is played by Dermot Crowley as a dry-humoured Irishman. Throughout the 100-minute drama, Ejiofor's character Ev meets an array of allegorical characters as he assesses his past life. After Wednesday's opening night at the Olivier Theatre,  Reuters entertainment editor Michael Roddy described Everyman as ""a strong debut for Rufus Norris"". ""Ejiofor is convincing as the smooth operator who belatedly sees the light, but the entire cast is terrific,"" he said. In his four-star review, Whatsonstage.com's Michael Coveney wrote: ""Ejiofor is a commanding, sympathetic presence in the middle of this energetic and seductive spectacle."" In the Telegraph, Dominic Cavendish struck a note of caution. ""It sounds a little worthy, a touch dull. Is it? Well no. But if anything it swings so far in the direction of looking and sounding with-it and hip that it commits the sin of appearing at once theatrically lavish and dramatically threadbare.""

Although most food given to monks is vegetarian, officials are worried that it is not always healthy, he adds. ""Because of their great affinity towards religious observances, most devotees offer food with high cholesterol content and the Buddhist monks have no choice but to partake of these foods all year round,"" Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena said, according to the Sri Lankan Daily Mirror. ""The situation is further aggravated because monks do not engage in recreational activities or exercises to shed their excessive weight."" He said the new menu was being drawn up on the instructions of medical experts and nutritionists. They advise the monks to eat more fruit, vegetables and rice, to drink more water and to cut down on wheat-based foods. The minister has also instructed health officials to open a ward exclusively for the clergy at all hospitals, the Daily Mirror reported. However, prominent Buddhist monk Maadulaawe Sobitha dismissed the government initiative. ""For thousands of years, the tradition was for the devotees to offer food for the clergy. It was up to the monks to decide what is appropriate to consume,"" he told the BBC Sinhala Service. ""We have to be satisfied with whatever is given to us.  We are not supposed to demand anything.

+"But there's the thing. Even if you consider feats of athleticism to be trifling in the grand scheme of things, there is a chance you still find Ali compelling. Because, with Ali, athletic feats were only a part of the whole. Ali created the mould for the modern athlete and promptly broke it. No athlete has been so great in so many different ways since. Here, BBC Sport breaks Ali's greatness into its constituent parts, in an attempt to explain why there has never been anyone greater and probably never will be. Most boxing aficionados will tell you Ali wasn't even the greatest boxer of all time. But with the very next breath, they might tell you he is the greatest sportsman. This is because making comparisons in boxing is a less exact science than making comparisons in other sports. People will tell you Jack Nicklaus is greater than Tiger Woods because he won more majors. They will tell you Sachin Tendulkar is better than Brian Lara because he scored more runs at a higher average. But attempting to compare boxers who fought at different weights in different eras is the way to madness. Still, it is true that Ali didn't fight on the inside, would lean back rather than slip punches, didn't set his feet and was susceptible to left hooks. And old-timers who saw both in action said Sugar Ray Robinson, who lost only one of his first 131 professional fights, was a more complete fighter. ""Robinson,"" said legendary American boxing writer Bert Sugar, ""was the sweetest practitioner of 'The Sweet Science'."" However, one of the marks of greatness is the ability to perform great feats without the use of a textbook: true greatness comes from within. And just as coaches tell kids the single-handed backhand is redundant, despite the fact Roger Federer has won 17 majors with it, they will also tell kids that to fight like Ali is nuts: ""Gloves up, chin tucked in - and stop mucking about."" But saying Ali wasn't as good as Robinson is like saying bliss isn't as good as nirvana. And a frightening thing about Ali is we might not have seen the best of him. Exiled from boxing between the ages of 25 and 28, Ali was spreading his anti-war message on the college circuit when he was at his most vital as an athlete. On paper, Ali is the greatest heavyweight in history. The first three-time world champion in boxing's blue riband division - when there was only one heavyweight world champion at any given time - Ali fought all-comers and whupped almost all of 'em. Another mark of greatness is the ability to evolve and in Ali's case there were four distinct ages: Olympic champion Ali, the innocent boy with a grin; pre-exile Ali, when his feet were a whir, his hands were a blur and nothing could touch him; post-exile Ali, a thicker, slower version with courage to burn; fading Ali, an empty shell of a man whom none of us wanted to see. Ali reigned in arguably the most talent-rich era of heavyweight boxing, winning the title from the fearsome Sonny Liston in 1964, winning it again from the even more fearsome George Foreman 10 years later and beating greats such as Floyd Patterson, Joe Frazier and Ken Norton in between. Even Ali Marque 4 had enough to win the title for a third time from a youthful Leon Spinks. Ali gave us the Rumble in the Jungle and the Thrilla in Manila and many iconic moments in sport. But if anyone wants proof that athletic achievement is about more than a win on the record, I suggest they rewind all the way to Ali Marque 2, particularly his fights against Cleveland Williams and Zora Folley. ""Most fight fans would not spend a dime to watch Van Gogh paint Sunflowers,"" wrote Sports Illustrated's Pat Putnam, in reference to Sugar Ray Leonard's ""artistic perfection"". ""But they would fill Yankee Stadium to see him cut off his ear."" In his pre-exile pomp, Ali gave fight fans both artistry and gore. Boxing allows for greater feats of heroism than other sports. Kicking a ball around with opponents trying to kick you and thousands looking on might get the ticker going, but it's hardly on a par with being attacked by a 17st man with wrecking-ball hands. Like men born at the wrong time and forced into wars, in some respects Ali was an accidental hero. Liston was the most hated heavyweight champion in history and considered almost unbeatable. People genuinely thought Ali might be killed by Foreman. Ali claimed he almost did die in his third fight against Frazier. But accidental or not, heroism garners great respect. Even those that hated him for his political and religious views - and the fact he refused to be forced into a war he never asked for or agreed with - had to admit: ""This black Muslim who talks too much - he sure has got gigantic cojones. I will give him that."" Heroism and charisma go hand in hand: with less talent and without the great wins over fearsome men, Ali might have been just another loose-lipped, wise-cracking boxer with a couple of mentions in the history books. Indeed, Ali would have been like his younger brother, Rahman, a mediocre fighter with little of importance to say and famous only because of his connection to Ali. Which is not to say all sporting greats have charisma: entering a room full of people and inducing silence simply because you are famous is not the same. Take Sir Donald Bradman, without question the greatest cricketer ever, of whom it was once written: ""One thing I have noticed is that he can sit still."" Ironically, it was also written of Ali that he was able to sit still: when the cameras were off and the pens were sheathed, he could apparently be a peaceful presence. But other times he was throwing parties for local kids on his front lawn; reciting poetry; baiting opponents; pouring forth on politics and religion. It wasn't always nice and it didn't always make sense, but it was always irresistible. One of the reasons Ali was charismatic was because he was funny. Genuinely funny, not ""presumably this must have been funny back in the day"" funny. ""I saw Sonny Liston a few days ago...,"" goes the interviewer. ""Ain't he ugly?"" deadpans Ali. ""He's too ugly to be the world's champ, the world's champ should be pretty like me."" He also did slapstick. Later in the build-up to their first fight, cameras caught Ali chasing Liston, ""the big, ugly bear"", down the street with a lasso. When The Beatles came to town, the story goes John Lennon didn't want to be photographed with Ali because he thought he would lose. By the end of the session Ali, who didn't even know who The Beatles were, had the four of them jumping through hoops. In one five-minute interview, Ali could make you laugh more than Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and Tom Brady have in their entire careers combined. Actually, make that a five-second interview. Women have always found hard, powerful men appealing. It's just that hard, powerful men aren't normally funny. And they don't normally look like Ali. Ali was wrong: he wasn't pretty, he was knockout beautiful. And women loved him. Here's how Ferdie Pacheco, Ali's personal doctor, described his patient: ""He had huge shoulders and a broad back which tapered to an extraordinarily small waist. [His skin] was very smooth and soft, and was a gorgeous golden colour. ""In the sunlight, covered with sweat, Ali was a photographer's dream."" There is an old Chinese curse: ""May you live in interesting times."" It was both Ali's good luck and misfortune to have appeared at one of the most turbulent times in American history. Misfortune in that his rebellious nature made him deeply unpopular with millions, good luck because it magnified his rebelliousness, his courage, his greatness. People listened to what Ali had to say because of what he achieved in the ring. But it helps if you've got something to say. Whereas Ali was a rebel, Michael Jordan was a brand. Whereas Ali set out to influence his times, Jordan remained aloof. ""He's more interested in his image for his shoe deals than he is in helping his own people,"" American football great Jim Brown said of Jordan in 1992, which was pretty much the height of his fame. Ali declared he ""had no quarrel with the Vietcong"" in 1966, a year before the first significant anti-Vietnam War protests. The governor of Illinois called Ali's stance ""disgusting"" and boxing boards banned him. By 1971, only 28% of Americans agreed with their involvement in the conflict. Ali was a radical, which explains why he was so forceful and magnetic, because he was fuelled by his beliefs. What Tiger Woods believes about the world is anybody's guess. He likes golf? Maybe.

+"The treasury has been seen for too long as belonging to ""big business, powerful interests and international investors,"" Malusi Gigaba said.

Thursday night's sacking shook markets and divided the ruling party. Mr Gordhan's sudden dismissal, part of a reshuffle affecting nine ministers, led to a 5% plunge in the value of the currency, the rand. The ruling African National Congress' deputy president, Cyril Ramaphosa, called it ""totally, totally unacceptable"" and ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe also opposed it. In 2014, the ANC adopted ""radical economic transformation"" policies to boost the economic position of the black majority in the post-apartheid nation. But many in the ruling party believe the process has been ""too slow and in many instances superficial"", said Mr Gigaba, who was previously home affairs minister. ""The ownership of wealth and assets remains concentrated in the hands of a small part of the population,"" he said. But he added that he did not ""seek to implement a reckless lurch in a particular direction"". ""We will stay the course in terms of the fiscal policy stance approved by government,"" the new minister said. Pravin Gordhan was seen by many as a safe pair of hands when it came to managing the economy. He was seen as a bulwark against corruption in an administration that is facing growing criticism. He resisted calls from the president to increase government expenditure. Malusi Gigaba, however, is widely seen as an ally of Mr Zuma and does not have a background in finance.

He said the priority was maintaining post-Brexit the level and share of financial support that currently flows to Northern Ireland from the EU. Mr Bell told the event, organised by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), that the UK pot of money should be targeted at ""those who take the financial risks of primary food production"". The ideas form part of the UFU's Brexit discussion document launched on Thursday. Speaking at the same event, the chairman of the Northern Ireland Food & Drink Federation said there was a danger of ""paralysis by analysis"" in response to Brexit. Declan Billington said there needed to be a ""sales plan"" for Northern Ireland produce. He said the focus should be on increasing sales to the market in Great Britain while opening up new markets for cuts of meat and chicken that people in Northern Ireland do not eat.

+"According to academics if you want to truly master the art of the queue, you need to follow the rules. It's all about the power of six, professors say. People will wait for six minutes in a queue before giving up and are unlikely to join a line of more than six people, researchers at the University College London found. Six is also the magic number when it comes to spacing - gaps of fewer than six inches between people can spark anxiety or stress. But the biggest faux pas of all is the push-in; queue jump at your peril. The report's author, Adrian Furnham, Professor of Psychology at UCL, said the public nature of queuing means that queue jumping sparks a ""huge sense of injustice"" among those in line. He pointed to previous research by Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede, which claimed: ""The British believe that inequalities between people should be minimized, and everyone should have the autonomy to pursue goals with equal opportunity."" The UCL study was based on a review of academic literature on queuing at banks, cash points and supermarkets. Other queue no-nos include striking up a conversation while queuing and standing on the wrong side of escalators - though this was mainly a complaint of Londoners who feel tourists ""misuse"" the Underground. The report found the most confusing rule for foreigners could be the practice of one person offering their place in the queue to another. Professor Furnham said: ""The British have a well-established culture of queuing and a very specific type of queue conduct, one that has been known to confuse many a foreign visitor. ""In a time when Britain is changing rapidly, and the ways in which we queue are shifting, the psychology behind British queuing is more important than ever - it is one of the keys to unlocking British culture.""","A stiff upper lip , a pot of tea and a nice orderly queue .

In February 2014, a member of staff at the Bloomsbury Patient Network emailed up to 200 patients who were HIV-positive. The email addresses were entered into the ""To"" field, meaning they were visible to everybody who received the email. Instead, email addresses should have been entered into the ""BCC"" field, which would have obscured them from other recipients. In May 2014, the same member of staff repeated the error. The ICO said 56 of the 200 email addresses contained the full or partial real names of patients. It also noted that the Bloomsbury Patient Network (BPN) had received five complaints. Considering the subject matter of the email message, it ruled that was a serious breach of data protection laws. But the amount of the fine was mitigated by the ""significant impact on BPN's reputation as a result of this security breach"". The BPN has not commented. Another HIV support group, 56 Dean Street, in London, made the same mistake with an email sent in September 2015. It exposed the names and email addresses of 780 people when a newsletter was issued.

+"The Welsh Rugby Union's (WRU) senior player selection policy (SPSP) means only three players who play outside Wales can be picked. Dominic Day, Nicky Thomas and Rhodri Williams are the others affected. Bath lock Luke Charteris is exempt from the rule and free for selection. This is the first time the WRU has revealed its seven-man list, from which three wildcard selections are available for each Wales campaign, starting from the 2016-17 season. The Six Nations, summer tour and autumn internationals are different campaigns, and the wildcard selections can differ for each. Also known as 'Gatland's Law' in reference to Wales head coach Warren Gatland, the policy is aimed at ensuring more players play their domestic rugby in Wales. In August 2014, the WRU and Wales' four professional regions signed a ¡ê60m, six-year deal that settled a long-running dispute over the sport's future. That deal included rules that mean players based outside Wales could be overlooked in favour of home-based talent. The policy ruled no player based overseas should represent Wales, although they are able to make exceptions. The SPSP does not affect players who signed contracts with clubs outside Wales before the policy was introduced, such as Toulon's Leigh Halfpenny and Exeter's Tomas Francis. Robert Howley will deputise for Gatland, who will take charge of the 2017 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand. Wales host Australia, Argentina, Japan and South Africa at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in November. The squad for those Test matches will be announced on Tuesday, 18 October. ""Players have been aware that there would come a point, if they left or signed new contracts outside Wales, that the policy would impact on selection,"" said WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips. ""We are aware that supporters may be concerned that we will not be selecting from a full list of players, but the alternative where players increasingly play outside Wales isn't sustainable for the long-term success of our game whether that be professional or community rugby. ""Clearly the player ultimately has the choice but we will do all we can to ensure that playing in Wales gives the player the best professional rugby experience possible.","Welsh @placeholder Taulupe Faletau , George North , Jamie Roberts and Rhys Priestland will have to rely on being picked as wildcards for future Wales selection .",personality,international,exiles,conditions,major
+"Their licences have been amended to say they must each provide voice coverage to at least 90% of the UK's landmass by the end of 2017. The companies already meet a commitment to provide 3G coverage to 90% of UK premises. But that still means many users experience dropped calls when outside. In December, Ofcom published a report that specified how much 2G geographic coverage three of the four operators provided - representing their ability to let subscribers make and receive calls and texts. It stated: The watchdog was unable to provide a figure for Three's 3G and 4G-based voice and call geographic coverage. ""For far too long, too many parts of the UK have regularly suffered from poor mobile coverage, leaving them unable to make calls or send texts,"" said the Culture Secretary, Sajid Javid, announcing that the licences had now been changed. ""Now at last we have progress that will give the UK the world-class mobile phone coverage it needs and deserves."" The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said it expected the deal to mean the total number of ""not-spots"" would fall by two-thirds. Mr Javid had told the operators in November that if they did not agree to improve the situation, he might compel them to automatically transfer customers to rival networks, without charging a fee, when they lost their signals. The networks complained at the time that such a move would shorten handsets' battery lives and pose a risk to the security of their systems. But in December, they agreed to let their licences be changed to meet the new goal. The 2017 target should mean that mobile subscribers suffer black spots less frequently while travelling across the countryside and visiting rural areas.

+"Ms Suu Kyi is barred from the presidency herself and had been widely expected not to take a ministry. But her name was on a list of 18 submitted to parliament by President-elect Htin Kyaw. The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Yangon says she will head up foreign affairs, energy, education and be minister in the president's office. There are no other women appointed to the cabinet, he adds. Myanmar's constitution, drafted by the outgoing military rulers, prevents Aung San Suu Kyi from becoming president because her two sons have British passports. Despite weeks of negotiation, the NLD was unable to persuade the military to remove or suspend the clause. Analysis: Jonah Fisher, BBC News, Yangon Aung San Suu Kyi had already made it clear that whatever her title she was going to run the new government. She could have done that just by becoming minister in the president's office, sitting next to her friend and proxy Htin Kyaw and telling him what to do. But that clearly wasn't enough. Ms Suu Kyi has had four and a half months to reflect on who should steer one of her biggest priorities, education reform. She's also had time to consider who should oversee the vital energy portfolio, and who should represent a resurgent Myanmar, also known as Burma, at summits abroad. And after all that time the answer was staring back from the mirror. Aung San Suu Kyi decided that there could be no-one else, and that she would have to directly run three of the most time-consuming ministries. Only time will tell how that works in practice. But given there are only five working days in a week these ministries could well be guided by someone who shows up for just one day in five. Even with the most efficient support team around you, it's hardly a platform to deliver much-needed ambitious change. Fifteen of the names on the ministerial list were chosen by Ms Suu Kyi, a Nobel laureate and former political prisoner, and three by the commander-in-chief of the army. Parliament is expected to vote later in the week to confirm the posts. The NLD has a huge majority in both houses of parliament, although the military automatically occupies 25% of seats. If she does become foreign minister, under the complex political structure Ms Suu Kyi will have to stand down as an MP and refrain from all NLD activities.","Aung San Suu Kyi , whose party won @placeholder elections in Myanmar , is to take a place in the new cabinet .",most,national,three,historic,primary
+"Libya destroyed its stockpiles of chemical weapons in 2014. However, hazardous materials the country still held remained a cause for international concern. ""These chemical weapon precursors have not been weaponised and now they never will be by anyone,"" the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said. The international chemical weapons watchdog will now verify the destruction of all the component materials at a specialist plant in Muenster, Germany. A ship from Denmark, accompanied by both Danish and UK naval vessels, left the Libyan port of Misrata on August 30, carrying the final shipment of chemical containers. Libya has been wracked by political instability since the overthrow of Col Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The country has two rival parliaments and three governments, and hundreds of armed militias. Gaddafi's government began dismantling its stockpile of chemical weapons over a decade ago, with the last destroyed by the new authorities in 2014. But the existence of chemicals which could be turned into weapons remained a concern, particularly as the so-called Islamic State group began to gain a foothold in the African nation. In July, the Libyan Government of National Accord, a United Nations-brokered coalition of two rival factions, asked for international aid in destroying potential ingredients for new chemical weapons. A number of nations including Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and the United States contributed to the operation, which was backed by the UN Security Council.

Widnes taxi driver Paul Harrison said about 150 drivers attended the meeting with the union Unite. He said they have set up an action committee and are considering peaceful protests after being told they should pass the toll charge on to fare-paying customers.

+"Former Russian anti-doping agency worker Vitaly Stepanov made the claims on CBS network's 60 Minutes programme. He said he was told of a cover-up by Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of Moscow's anti-doping laboratory. Russia's sports ministry said it was ""certain about transparency of doping control"" in Sochi. Rodchenkov was not interviewed by the programme, which was broadcast on Sunday, but 60 Minutes journalists said they had listened to recordings of him speaking to Stepanov. The BBC has been unable to independently verify the allegations made in the programme. Stepanov said Rodchenkov told him that agents from Russia's security service, the FSB, ""worked as doping controls officers during the Sochi Games"" and ""tried to control every single step of the anti-doping process in Sochi"". He further claimed he had been told four Russian gold medallists at the Games were using steroids. The World Anti-doping Agency (Wada) has said it will investigate the new allegations. Russian athletes have already been banned from international competition by the sport's world governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), after a Wada commission report alleged ""state-sponsored"" doping in the country. The same report said Rodchenkov was complicit, asking for and accepting bribes and destroying blood and urine samples. He later resigned from his role as head of the Moscow lab. Stepanov and his wife, banned athlete Yuliya Stepanova, were the main whistleblowers in a series of German television documentaries in 2014 which alleged ""99%"" of Russian athletes were doping. Those claims led to the Wada independent commission being set up. The IAAF is meeting next month to assess whether Russia has done enough to tackle its doping culture before being allowed to take part in August's Olympic Games in Rio. A spokesman for the Russian sports ministry said a full investigation had been carried out into ""all relevant parties"" since Stepanov's original allegations and it had agreed a 'road map' with Wada to ""guarantee the independence and transparency of the doping control in Russia"".

+"He and his fellow fresh-faced apprentices are huddled around a noisy workbench in Berlin. At just 19, he is one of the youngest in his group at this training centre. Rhys, a keen rugby player, says he is settling into the German lifestyle and has even found a rugby club nearby. He is one of just 2,200 young workers chosen from some 45,000 applicants by the electronics and electrical engineering giant Siemens for its pan-European training scheme. Another apprentice, 21-year-old Gabriel from Northampton, says he came to Berlin to learn the German way. ""They are much more precise, they go into detail a lot more,"" he says. ""It helps you understand why all the best engineers and creatives come from here."" It is a point that was recently made by the British business lobby group, the CBI. It warned that the UK's traditional educational route, of A-levels followed by a university degree, was not the only path to a good job and could help deepen a skills crisis in the UK. The CBI called for more earn-as-you-learn schemes, supported by companies, alongside traditional degrees - and cited Germany as one of the leaders in vocational education. Siemens's trainees have come from all over Europe for the company's three-year programme, that will give them an income while they learn the art of German engineering. ""I know that right now, it's not the best time to find a job. It's why I'm doing this in Germany,"" says 20-year old Miguel from Madrid. He hopes to return to Spain, despite dire employment prospects at home, where one in two young people is out of work. ""Everybody knows what the label 'Made in Germany' means,"" says 22-year-old Vainius from Lithuania. ""This is a perfect example of how they do it. It is an excellent chance for everyone here."" In Spain, says Miguel, ""we don't have opportunity to study practical and theory at same time."" In another classroom at the firm's vast training centre, a British girl stumbles over German grammar. Learning to speak German is part of the deal. Apprentices here are encouraged to immerse themselves in the culture, offered help in opening a bank account and in other aspects of living abroad: it is a very German approach. Germany's vocational system has been around for decades and is deeply embedded in society. A university degree does not have quite the same cachet here that it does in many other developed countries. Youngsters who are not qualified for or interested in going to university can join a programme in which they work part of the week for a firm that pays them and teaches them relevant skills. The rest of the time they spend in school. Chambers of commerce and industry bodies are involved, to ensure that the work and the teaching are matched. After their apprenticeships, the trainees often have jobs to walk into, in sectors including electrical engineering, sales and marketing, shipping and agriculture. Roughly two out of three young Germans go through this system. ""It's a very practical, applied approach, where young people are partly hired, partly subsidised in this dual education system,"" says Nora Hesse, a Berlin-based economist at the Open Europe think tank. ""They do receive some money but not too much, and their education is covered by the company that hires them,"" she says. Martin Stoeckmann, who runs Siemens's training centre, says that the apprenticeships are a good investment for both the young people and the companies involved. ""Around 90% of them stay at Siemens after they finish their education. They are loyal and proud to be at the company,"" he says. The company denies claims that schemes like this represent a brain drain, as Germany sucks in the brightest and best youngsters from all over Europe. ""They are all expected to go home - still working for Siemens - but in their homeland,"" says Mr Stoeckmann. Advocates of Germany's vocational training point to the fact that despite the global recession, the number of young Germans out of work remains low. Youth unemployment in Germany is under 8%, compared with 56% in Spain and 38% in Italy. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the number of 15- to 29-year-olds not in education, employment or training has risen in most OECD countries - except in Germany. However, some argue that there are drawbacks to this vocational bias. Countries that combine school and work-based education, such as Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland, may help young people into jobs, but in older age, these workers' skills can become obsolete, says the influential Munich-based Ifo Institute. Knowledge is also limited to the operations of the company that trains them. Yet with a crisis that has hit growth and the job prospects of many young people across Europe, for the apprentices at Siemens, this system offers hope. Rhys says he is confident of his own future, thanks to the technical training he is getting. But he says that back in Britain - where 960,000 people aged 16 to 24 are jobless - many of his friends face an uncertain future.

+"More than 100 British Transport Police (BTP) officers will patrol the 144 Underground stations open all night to try to ""set behavioural standards"". The Met says overall crime levels will be unaffected. But fewer than half of Londoners say they will feel safe on the Night Tube. A report by the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee reveals TfL believes anti-social behaviour will rise on the all-night service, causing ""high crime levels"" and a ""rowdy environment"". The BTP has identified 12 ""red"" stations where a special policing plan will be put in place: Piccadilly Circus, Charing Cross, Leicester Square, Victoria, Oxford Circus, Waterloo, Vauxhall, London Bridge, Camden Town, North Greenwich, Brixton and Hammersmith. Illegal taxi touting is expected to increase at the end of Tube lines. However, police believe some crime will effectively be displaced from night buses to the Tube. ""Despite these concerns, BTP is confident that robust analysis has been carried out to ensure the Tube remains safe for passengers and staff, but it will be difficult to be sure until it is up and running,"" says the report. Forty-six percent of Londoners told a recent YouGov poll that they would feel safe taking the Night Tube, with 38% feeling unsafe and 16% unsure. According to TfL's quarterly safety survey, Londoners are less likely to avoid using public transport because of a fear of crime than they were seven years ago. Overall crime on the network has fallen, although reported sexual offences and violence against the person are up. But although 15% had experienced unwanted sexual behaviour on the network, 90% of those did not report it.

The company has contacted more than three million customers offering repairs or money off a replacement. But some owners face an 11-month wait. Leon Livermore, chief executive of the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, told 5 Live Breakfast: ""The fact that Trading Standards sit within local government means they're often stretched for resources. ""Central government itself does have back up powers to force people into recalls and to take action. So we would call on the government, in particular the Department for Business Innovation and Skills to take action before someone dies."" He added: ""I think it's indicative of how the UK views consumer issues. Trading standards services have seen cuts of over 50% over the last few years and actually there hasn't been an outcry from the public because a lot of this stuff goes on in the background."" A spokesman for the Department for Business said: ""People rightly deserve the assurance that if they buy a product that turns out to be unsafe, this can quickly be rectified. The government places a very high value on consumer safety, but industry also has a crucial role to play in protecting consumers. ""Ministers are keen that businesses work together to provide the solutions and improve the systems so we can reduce the number of incidents and keep people safe."" Whirlpool said it was trying to deal with the issue as quickly as possible and has hired an extra 300 engineers, an increase of 30%.

+"The men were abducted last month near North Waziristan, a Taliban stronghold. A Taliban spokesman told the BBC the killings were to avenge an army offensive in a neighbouring area. The killings come amid reports that Taliban factions have agreed to halt attacks on Pakistani forces in order to focus on US-led troops in Afghanistan. The men's bodies were found in the Spin Tall area of North Waziristan on Thursday morning,  local residents told the BBC. They were members of the Frontier Constabulary, a provincial police force that operates in Pakistan's tribal areas. Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told the BBC that the killing of 12 Taliban fighters during an army operation on 31 December in the Khyber tribal district prompted the militants to kill the men they were holding. They had been kidnapped in a Taliban raid on a check post in the town of Tank near North Waziristan a week earlier. The Taliban spokesman added that the government had taken a ""very dangerous, un-Islamic and unethical step"" by capturing the female family members of the militants killed in the 31 December offensive in Khyber. ""We warned them to release them as soon as possible otherwise consequences will be very harsh but unfortunately they turned a deaf ear to our warning,"" he wrote in an email to the BBC. He also warned of further attacks to retaliate against a military operation launched in northern parts of Balochistan province recently. The violence also comes amid media speculation that there have been peace talks between elements of the Taliban and the Pakistani government. The Pakistani Taliban is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of civilians and security personnel over the past few years, but there has not been a major militant attack in the country for several months. The army has several anti-militant operations ongoing in the tribal areas close to the Afghan border. The US has put pressure Pakistan to step up the fight against those militants in north-west Pakistan who launch attacks in Afghanistan, and in recent months has accused parts of Pakistan's security establishment of backing such insurgents.

+"Nick Webb said a mayor serving Cardiff and Newport and another for the Swansea Bay area would be more effective than their local councils. He said elected mayors in England were controversial, but allowed voters to ""kick out those who fail to deliver"". Writing for the Institute of Welsh Affairs, he said the mayoral regions could expand if they proved successful.

Ten local councils in south east Wales are backing a bid for a ?¡ê1bn-plus ""city deal"" centred on Cardiff. Further west, four councils and local business leaders have joined forces to seek investment as a Swansea Bay city region.

""If the elected Mayors of London, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool and Newcastle are sitting around the table in Davos talking to international financiers, it is hard to see that a Welsh Government-appointed City Region Chair - or a combination of local authority leaders - would hold the same powerful mandate when pitching their case,"" he said.

Her family including her mother, Debbie Ziegler, spoke in support of the bill. Religious groups had opposed the bill, saying assisted suicide was against God's will. The Catholic Church had urged Governor Brown to veto it. Advocates for people with disabilities also worried that terminally ill patients could be pressured into choosing death. Governor Brown, a Catholic who once studied to become a priest, had taken weeks to decide whether to sign the bill. ""In the end, I was left to reflect on what I would want in face of my own death,"" Governor Brown said. ""I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain.

+"Both the SDLP and Sinn Fein have suggested creating an all Ireland national forum to consider the implications of Brexit. On Saturday, Sinn F??in deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald said the Irish government had confirmed such a forum would be set up. Maybe it would lead to something, but unionists would probably shy away and, at first glance, it looks like a talking shop. Stormont and Dublin ministers are discussing Brexit in their North South Council and an early meeting of the East West British Irish Council has been promised. Neither of these spin-offs from the Good Friday Agreement have proved especially dynamic. But if the UK does sever its EU links then their role could become much more important. As Professor Brendan O'Leary recently pointed out in a lecture at Queen's University, the BIC already straddles islands like Jersey Guernsey and the Isle of Man which are not EU members. The Remain camp will no doubt continue to press for Northern Ireland to retain its EU status. However the opposition Nicola Sturgeon ran into in Brussels shows this is likely to prove an uphill struggle, assuming the next UK prime minister doesn't perform a U turn. So how might what Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan described as the ""unique circumstances"" of the island of Ireland be recognised? Both the Irish and British governments have already made it clear they want to preserve the free movement of goods and people - this will require some first class diplomacy if it is to amount to an Irish ""opt-out"" from barriers erected elsewhere. On the ground, perhaps the remainers could turn to the old Europhile John Hume's dictum that ""it's people that have rights not territory""? Alongside all the various talking shops, might Dublin consider, for example,  setting up an agency to liaise with Irish passport holders resident outside its borders? That could ensure these EU citizens still have access to European programmes like the Erasmus educational exchanges or the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Whilst the DUP would no doubt oppose any initiative they believe might be aimed at watering down Northern Ireland's constitutional status within the UK, there seems agreement around the executive table about ensuring Northern Ireland gets a ""good deal"".

+"The officers were convicted of killing 13 inmates in the city's Carandiru jail during an operation to end a revolt. In all, 111 prisoners died, and prosecutors argued that most of them were shot dead at close range. The officers' lawyers said they would appeal. Three other policemen were acquitted during the trial. The 23 convicted officers - most of whom are now retired - had originally been accused of killing 15 inmates, but two of the victims were later thought to have been killed by fellow prisoners. Dozens more officers are expected to be brought to trial in connection with the case in the coming months. In 2001, Col Ubiratan Guimaraes, who led the police operation to regain control in Carandiru, was convicted of using excessive force. But he was acquitted on appeal in 2006. 'Self-defence' The riot began on 2 October 1992 after an argument between two inmates quickly spread, with rival gangs facing off in what was at the time one of South America's largest prisons, housing 10,000 inmates. Inmates said riot police brutally repressed the riot. ""We never thought they would come in and kill people randomly, as not everyone had joined the rebellion,"" former prisoner Jacy de Oliveira told BBC Brasil's Luis Kawaguti. ""The policemen began shooting everyone; I was on the fifth floor, if you looked a policeman in the eyes, you were dead,"" he said. The officers' lawyer, Ieda Ribeiro de Souza, argued they were only doing their duty and acted in self-defence, as many of the inmates were armed. While prison riots are not uncommon in Brazil, the number of those killed at Carandiru and the slow pace of the Brazilian justice system in bringing the accused to trial has shocked the public. Carandiru was closed in 2002, shortly after inmates co-ordinated simultaneous uprisings in 27 jails across Sao Paulo state during which thousands of visitors were held hostage.",A court in Brazil has sentenced 23 police officers each to 156 years in jail for involvement in a @placeholder 1992 prison massacre in Sao Paulo .,special,notorious,popular,national,rare
+"Because this week he will live his childhood dream, watching boyhood heroes Juventus playing in the Champions League final, which just so happens to be in Cardiff, in the same stadium Calzaghe headlined against Mikkel Kessler in 2007. ""It is a dream come true for me,"" the lifelong Juventus fan told BBC Wales. ""For Juventus to be at the final in Cardiff, I can't stress how amazing it is for me. It's a once in a lifetime thing."" For Calzaghe, who started boxing as a 10-year-old, there was just one dream that eclipsed that of becoming a boxing world champion... emulating his idol Paolo Rossi. Inspired by his soccer-obsessed father Enzo, himself a schoolboy player for Torres FC, Calzaghe was never one for following his local team Cardiff City, or the trendy teams his mates supported, like Liverpool. For Joe, it was always Vecchia Signora, The Old Lady. ""I've supported Juve since I was nine or 10, I remember crying when they lost 1-0 to Hamburg in the European Cup,"" he said. ""I remember players like Rossi, Roberto Bettega, and Platini playing under Dino Zoff, so I have always been a Juve fan, including when we got relegated to Serie B. ""To be at the Champions League final in Cardiff, it is just a dream come true. ""For it to be at the national stadium where I boxed 10 years ago against Mikkel Kessler, you can't make it up. ""So to be in a final at the stadium that means so much to me, in my hometown, is incredible. But we've got to win it! We don't have the best record in finals."" Such is Calzaghe's passion for Juventus, he has taken his sons, Conor and Joe Jr, for a tour of the Juventus Stadium. Both boys share dads enthusiasm for Juve and Joe says the whole family have been impressed with the improvement to the side this season. ""I was gutted two years ago, when we lost 3-1 to Barcelona in the Champions League, I remember watching that with the family in Sardinia,"" he explained. ""Last year we lost after two late goals against Bayern, but this year I am hopeful, especially as it is (goalkeeper, Gianluigi) Buffon's last major club level tournament. ""We've got a great chance. (Paulo) Dybala, (Gonzalo) Higuain, we've got a terrific team and what a beautiful thing for it to be in the city of Cardiff. ""I was never a fan of manager Massimo Allegri, but he's proved to be on par or even better than (now Chelsea manager) Antonio Conte. ""The balance of the team is superb, they are a proper team and to not concede in two legs against Barca and Porto shows what an incredible defence we've got. ""Dybala is amazing and the midfield has improved, we've just got stronger and stronger."" Calzaghe is aware of the attacking threat carried by Real Madrid and is worried that a Welshman could be the person to dash his dreams. ""I have only happy memories in the Millennium Stadium and hopefully that is still the case after 3 June,"" he said. ""So it depends, Madrid have got (Cristiano) Ronaldo and (Gareth) Bale, but not the best defence, so there is a chance. ""It could be a Welshman who breaks my heart, but hopefully not.

+"Crowds lined the route of the 24-hour torch relay which began in Stoke Mandeville on Tuesday night. The relay ran more than two hours late but reduced breaks made up time. A splinter flame was taken to the Stadium in case the delays were not overcome but the opening ceremony ran late and the flame made it on time. A late-finishing ceremony in Stoke Mandeville and the time required for multiple exchanges of the flame between team members were blamed for the timing slipping throughout the relay. Organisers Locog cut down on breaks and reduced the number of photo opportunities and a late-running opening ceremony meant the the flame was used to light the cauldron in the Olympic Stadium. Crowds gathered in the market square in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, to watch the start of the relay and thousands more turned out overnight along the route to cheer on the torchbearers. After arriving in London, the flame, which is being carried by 580 torchbearers, was taken up the steps to Britain's first traditional Hindu temple, the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir temple in Brent, where a torch was lit at about 08:30 BST. Barry Gardiner, MP for Brent, took part in a ceremony which involved pulling apart string made up of different threads and colours to ""allow"" the Paralympic torch through.

+"A recent study showed African elephants have the most genes dedicated to smell of any mammal. The US military has also trained elephants to sniff out explosives in the South African countryside. Now an Australian zoo is harnessing an elephant's smell for a more modest aim - improving his mood. Putra Mas, Perth Zoo's only male Asian elephant, has been trained to find particular scents hidden around his enclosure. The idea came after zookeepers noticed signs of boredom, which can affect the behaviourally complex animals in captivity. Unlike the zoo's two female elephants, Putra Mas's temperament prevented him from being walked around the grounds. So keepers tried to ""brighten his day"", said Peter Mawson, the zoo's director of animal health and research. Putra Mas was taught to identify scents including lemongrass, coffee, fur, feathers and animal urine. He would squeak with each discovery. Mr Mawson said the programme had been very successful. ""It's made a noticeable difference in the level of trust between our bull elephant and his keeping staff,"" he told the BBC. ""And he certainly seems to enjoy the game. He has high expectations when he sees the setup being put in place to play the game."" Mr Mawson said the zoo had now extended the programme to the female elephants.

+"A third (34%) felt their child's diagnosis was delayed and half of those felt this had an impact on prognosis. Cancer charity CLIC Sargent is calling for the government to ensure better training and guidance for professionals who care for children before diagnosis. NHS England said new guidance had lowered the referral threshold for GPS. The research by CLIC Sargent, released to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme, is based on a survey of 333 people - 147 young people aged 16-24 and 186 parents. The charity says each year about 3,800 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. About 44% of the young people surveyed said they felt they were not taken seriously enough, making multiple trips to the GP or hospital before they were eventually diagnosed. Over half - 53% - of the young people felt they had received a delayed diagnosis. Of these, 93% believed the perceived delay added to their emotional stress. In 2010, I felt some lymph node lumps in my neck and became obsessive about it, I knew something was wrong. I kept going back to the same doctor for six or seven months and he kept telling me that I was fine and there was nothing wrong, I didn't have cancer. My family and friends kept teasing me, they thought I was being a hypochondriac. In January 2011 I saw another GP, who told me to come back in two weeks if things hadn't changed. When they didn't, I was referred to hospital. My diagnosis was sort of a relief more than anything - obviously I knew something was wrong and now it was getting dealt with. Looking back at it now, doctors can't be expected to know everything. Maybe this doctor had not dealt with any young people with cancer, so maybe he just thought it was something innocent. CLIC Sargent wants the NHS to conduct more research into the impact a delayed diagnosis has on a child or young person's health outcome, treatment and survival rate. 63% of parents said the delay had a negative effect on the emotional wellbeing of their child. CLIC Sargent chief executive Kate Lee said: ""It is simply not acceptable that so many of the parents and young people we spoke to felt their GP didn't take their concerns seriously or that their knowledge of their child's health wasn't recognised. ""It is absolutely vital that medical professionals including GPs are confident and skilled in listening and talking to children, young people and parents - and responding to their concerns. That's why we're calling for health education bodies to make this a core element of professional training."" As part of its research, the charity also commissioned a survey of 1,000 GPs. It found 46% felt more training was needed to help them identify cancer in children and young people, while 50% said more consultation time would be beneficial. Ms Lee added: ""It is striking that so many GPs feel more can be done to help them identify suspected cancer. Cancer in children and young people is thankfully rare so a GP may only have one or two cases in their whole career."" Sean Duffy, national clinical director for cancer at NHS England, said:  ""Early diagnosis must be of the highest priority for cancer patients of all ages. This report highlights the challenges of identifying cancer in children, and shows the vital need for everyone, including GPs, to be more aware of the early signs. ""NICE guidance has been recently updated to lower the referral threshold for GPs, and we have begun a major programme of work to test innovative ways to diagnose cancer more quickly in all patients.""

Hokkaido Electric, Kansai Electric, Shikoku Electric and Kyushu Electric submitted applications to restart the plants under the new regulations on Monday. They sent applications for a total of 10 reactors at five plants. The new rules require nuclear operators to put in place better safeguards against disasters including tsunamis, earthquakes and terrorist attacks. NRA chairman Shunichi Tanaka said that bringing safety standards to international norms would ""take a long time"". The NRA is responsible for determining whether the reactors meet the new safety standards. The nuclear companies are then required to seek approval from national and regional politicians.

+"Prisons can't be closed unless there is appropriate prison capacity elsewhere or unless the overall jail population is falling - and there is no sign that it is. It is currently 85,884 - but it is not rising as quickly as predicted a year ago, when the last official population projections were published. It was estimated then that by June this year the population would be between 87,100 and 88,900.  In fact it was around 86,000, which may have given ministers more confidence that their plans can be achieved. The projections said that by 2020 the population could be anything between 81,400 and 98,900, with the ""central scenario"" - the most likely - suggesting it would be 90,200. If the population did edge towards the upper estimates it would be extremely hard for the government's plans to work. They would need to build thousands of extra places, as well as replacing old ones. New prison population forecasts are due to be published this month.

Other possible candidates for closure in London include Wormwood Scrubs, Brixton and Wandsworth. Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool are all old prisons, which are known to be very expensive to run. Dartmoor Prison has already been earmarked for closure. As well as Reading - which the Treasury has said will be first to be sold - several jails are currently unused and could also be sold off. They include Dover, which was until recently an immigration removal centre, and Downview Prison, in Surrey, which was a women's prison. But building prisons takes many years. Plans for a new prison in north Wales were first made public in January 2013, but the proposals were under consideration before that. The new jail, in Wrexham, is not due to open until 2017.

+"The man, named only as Jakub F, was told he would be spared having to pay hefty damages as long as a film denouncing piracy he was made to produce got 200,000 views. He reached his target within days, and now has over 400,000 hits on YouTube. He came to the out-of-court settlement with a host of firms whose software he pirated after being convicted by a Czech court. In return, they agreed not to sue him. The 30-year-old was also given a three-year suspended sentence. The criminal court decided that any financial penalty would have to be decided either in civil proceedings or out of court. The firms, which included Microsoft, HBO Europe, Sony Music and 20th Century Fox, estimated that the financial damage amounted to thousands of pounds, with Microsoft alone valuing its losses at 5.7m Czech Crowns (?¡ê148,000). But the Business Software Alliance (BSA), which represented Microsoft, acknowledged that Jakub could not pay that sum. Instead, the companies said they would be happy to receive only a small payment and his co-operation in the production of the video. In order for the firms' promise not to sue to be valid, they said, the video would have to be viewed at least 200,000 times within two months of its publication this week. A spokesman for the BSA told the BBC that the stipulation was to ensure that Jakub would help share it as widely as possible. But, if the video had not reached the target, the spokesman said that - ""in theory"" - the firms would have grounds to bring a civil case for damages. A Czech public relations firm, working for the BSA, set up a website in Jakub's name to host the video. A message from Jakub on the site, written in Czech, read: ""I thought I was not doing anything wrong. I thought it did not hurt the big companiesa€| I was convinced that I was too small a fish."" In the video, Jakub, who, the BSA accepted, did not pirate the software for financial gain, warned other small-time pirates they too could be caught. Jakub reportedly put copies of Microsoft Windows 7 and 8, as well as other content, on filesharing sites. The film, in which Jakub plays himself, has so far been watched more than 400,000 times.

+"The Hare and Hounds pub in Maidstone - close to the Royal Engineers barracks - was a known target, but then landlord Brian Wooster never thought anything would happen. However, on 25 September 1975, a bomb was placed outside the pub. Only by chance did 19-year-old Sapper David Campbell see the device enabling him to raise the alarm. In the minutes before the explosion, police were called, the pub was cleared, nearby homes were evacuated and roads were sealed off. Residents then heard ""an almighty boom"". Seconds later, Mr Wooster saw glass, wood and debris everywhere, with his destroyed car against the neighbouring prison wall. He remembers a scene of ""absolute devastation"". But, despite a series of false alarms in the months beforehand, Mr Wooster was not unduly alarmed. ""We were scared, of course we were scared. But, being a little pub we only had one door open and we knew all the customers,"" he said. ""So, if anyone came in we would be on them straight away, especially if they were carrying a bag or anything. ""We felt quite happy that no-one was going to come in here and do anything, but as it turned out they didn't have to."" Because of Mr Campbell's actions, no-one was killed, but two police officers were injured. One of them, Mick Gray, was going to warn a driver and a pedestrian when the bomb went off. ""I just had this voice in my head say 'run',"" he explained. ""I was facing that way and I just ran and I'd only gone a few yards when I was picked up and blown over and all this stuff came at me at the same time."" The uniform he wore that night is covered in holes where shrapnel penetrated his body. A notebook in his top pocket was the only thing that stopped a shard of metal entering his chest. There were about 20 people in the pub that night. Mr Campbell said it was pure chance he spotted the device, having gone outside to look for someone who had left their coat in the pub. Having served in Northern Ireland, his suspicions were immediately raised on seeing a bag next to the landlord's car. As the area was cleared, police officers shone torches through the gap at the end of the holdall zip and saw batteries, a clock and wires.

Mr Farage says he would be willing to lead the ""No"" campaign but he said a non-political figure would be better. Pro-EU campaigners say UKIP's arguments for leaving have no basis in economic facts. In its pamphlet, The Truth About Trade Beyond The EU, UKIP argues that Britain does not need to be in the EU to have access to the single market and to export successfully. It also argues that the UK would not be isolated if it left and could negotiate a free trade agreement with the EU without signing up to ""free movement"" rules.

+"The council tax has not gone up in Scotland since 2007. The council tax freeze was initially an interim measure but became a major Scottish government policy. In recent years, many councils complained the freeze was adding to the pressure on their finances and leading to more cuts. Meanwhile a more philosophical point was being debated too - whether councils should have more control over their finances, with a greater suite of financial powers. From next April councils will have the power to raise the council tax for everyone by up to 3% again. People in higher band homes - around a quarter of residents -  will automatically see their bills rise because of changes to the band system. All Band E, F, G and H bills will rise but what about everyone else's? Given how some councils have complained about the pressure on their budgets, you might imagine that it would go without saying that all 32 local authorities would put up council tax. Well think again. So far only two have confirmed their intentions - Borders and South Lanarkshire. And in South Lanarkshire's case, the Labour-run council said they intended to keep the freeze for another year. A number of factors will come into the equation as councillors work through their options . For a start the council tax makes up a relatively small proportion of a typical council's finances - around 15%. In some cases, even putting up the council tax by the full 3% would add a relatively modest amount to a council's budget. In the case of Scottish Borders, the rise will only put around ?¡ê1.5m extra into the kitty. Nationally, about ?¡ê70m would be raised if every council opted for a 3% rise. After a 10 year freeze, only those on the tightest incomes would feel much of an impact from a 3% rise - in the Borders, a Band D bill will rise by barely ?¡ê3.25 a month. But this rise - plus the changes to the bands - could mean a more significant increase for people in the more highly banded homes. Yet, most councils are still facing up to cuts and savings. The overall amount of money they will be getting straight from the Scottish government to spend at their discretion is being cut although the government argues there will be more money available for local services overall. The exact figures vary from area to area but the nightmare scenario for some councils is that they will be asking people to pay more in council tax but still offer them fewer local services. ""Pay more, get less"" is hardly a vote-winner, weeks before May's council elections. A council which manages to hold the council tax freeze could present a number of arguments to justify the move: But a further freeze is not without its risks too: The council tax was a hybrid of the old domestic rates system and the hugely controversial community charge or poll tax - the system used from 1989 until 1993. Supporters of the poll tax or community charge argued that the flat rate charge made it easier for voters to weigh up how efficient their council was. That principal of simple accountability was carried over into the council tax in a more subtle form - a bill payer can easily look at their bill and compare the local charge in their band to the fee levied by other councils. From that they may wish to conclude that their council was more or less efficiently run than another. At a guess, the likelihood is only a minority of councils will freeze the council tax again - while some may opt for a rise of less than 3%. But the fact that these options are even a realistic possibility for debate in some areas is hugely significant and will colour the debate on local services ahead of the council elections. The power to put up council tax is one thing. Using that power is quite another.",Scottish councils will now find it much easier to put up the council tax but do not assume your bill will rise .

""I restrained her to stop her from attacking me,"" Mr Tostee said in a preview of the interview. ""I don't know what else to do. I wanted it to stop."" The preview also features audio recordings of Ms Wright pleading to be allowed to leave the 14th storey apartment, which was a key piece of evidence. When questioned by a reporter about the fact Ms Wright screamed ""no"" 33 times in the audio recording, Mr Tostee replied: ""Yeah, she was certainly trying to make a lot of noise."" It has been reported by local media that the TV programme is paying Mr Tostee a six-figure sum for the interview. The deal has angered police, including officers that investigated the case. ""It's disgusting,"" an unnamed detective told the The Courier-Mail newspaper. ""We respect the court's decision to find him not guilty but for him to now do a paid interview, after everything this poor girl's family has been through, is horrific. ""It might be legally OK but for Tostee to profit from Warriena's death is morally repugnant."" The controversial interview has also prompted an online backlash after a promotional clip was released.

Travis Megale commented: ""The door to the hallway was as close as the balcony door. He chose the option with no escape."" Natalie Anne said: ""I don't believe he is legally guilty of murder.

+"In the North Korean world of multiple and complex military job titles, Mr Hyon has held a great variety of them. But it was in 2010 that he was promoted to the rank of four-star general and on exactly the same day as Kim Jong-un was promoted. That military promotion list was the North Korean leader's major public debut, a sign that he was the anointed one. Very little is really known about his fellow general Mr Hyon, but one clear sign of his growing influence in the final years of Kim Jong-il's rule was that he served on the committee for Kim Jong-il's funeral in December 2011. He rose to sudden prominence when he replaced the powerful former army chief, Ri Yong-ho in the summer of 2012.  Analysts said at the time that the reshuffle appeared to be an attempt by Kim Jong-un to stamp his authority on the army. But it is unclear exactly why Mr Hyon has now been purged like this, as he only made the transition into this position of defence minister in June 2014. Since then, there has been little coverage that would suggest a trajectory out of the ordinary and there is little in his background that provide clues to his downfall. According to DPRK state media, Hyon Yong-chol was born in January 1949 in North Hamgyo'ng Province and joined the military in March 1966. He served in the army's ground forces, been a battalion commander and brigade commander, according to North Korea analyst Michael Madden. His political career began with his election as deputy a (delegate) to the 12th Supreme People's Assembly in 2009.  After his name appeared on the four star general promotions list in 2010, he was elected a member of the Korean Workers' Party central committee at the so-called 3rd Party Conference. He is one of the cast of figures who attended the numerous military inspections with Kim Jong Un and some analysts saw him as a close military adviser. In June 2014 Hyon Yong-chol was appointed Minister of the People's Armed Forces and a member of North Korea's influential National Defense Commission. Barely a year later, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that MPs were told Mr Hyon had been killed on 30 April -  by anti-aircraft fire in front of an audience.","Until he was made defence minister , Hyon Yong - chol was a relatively @placeholder figure , who rose up steadily and quietly through army ranks .",brief,special,political,minor,obscure

They had been due to visit Shanghai last year but their tour was cancelled after a territorial row flared. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said she hoped the concert - SMAP's first overseas performance - would boost bilateral friendship. It is the first visit to China by a top Japanese band for almost a decade, the Mainichi newspaper reported. SMAP - a boy band that launched its debut single just over 20 years ago - is one of Japan's best-known groups. Its members, who are now in their late 30s, host a weekly cookery and music show. They have also appeared in numerous television dramas, building fan bases in both South Korea and China. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao issued an invitation to the band in May, after previous plans were shelved. Concerts scheduled to take place in Shanghai in September 2010 were cancelled by the Chinese organisers after Japanese coast guards arrested a Chinese trawler captain following a collision off islands that both countries claim. SMAP had also been due to perform at the Shanghai Expo earlier that year but the concert was cancelled because of fears of over-crowding. But this time the group have made it to China, and on Thursday they were welcomed by senior politician Tang Jiaxuan. Band member Takuya Kimura said SMAP hoped the concert would celebrate friendship between the two sides.

+"Thousands of living men convicted over consensual same-sex relationships will also be eligible for the pardon. Lib Dem peer Lord Sharkey, who proposed the amendment to the Policing and Crimes Bill, said it was ""momentous"". It follows the pardoning of World War Two code-breaker Alan Turing for gross indecency in 2013. Under the amendment - dubbed ""Turing law"" - deceased people who were convicted of sexual acts that are no longer deemed criminal will receive an automatic pardon. Anyone living who has been convicted of such offences could already apply through the Home Office to have the offence wiped from their criminal records. But now, if the Home Office agrees that the offence is no longer an offence under current law, they will automatically be pardoned. Justice Minister Sam Gyimah said it was ""hugely important that we pardon people convicted of historical sexual offences who would be innocent of any crime today"". Lord Sharkey said he understood why some people may not want a pardon, or may ""feel that it's wrong"". But, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, ""a pardon is probably the best way of acknowledging the real harm done by the unjust and cruel homophobic laws, which thankfully we've now repealed. And I do hope that a lot of people will feel exactly the same way"". He said of the 65,000 men convicted under the laws, 15,000 are still alive. George Montague was convicted in 1974 of gross indecency with a man. He says he wants an apology - not a pardon. ""To accept a pardon means you accept that you were guilty. I was not guilty of anything. I was only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time,"" he told BBC Newsnight. ""I think it was wrong to give Alan Turing - one of the heroes of my life - a pardon. ""What was he guilty of? He was guilty of the same as what they called me guilty of - being born only able to fall in love with another man."" He added: ""If I get an apology, I will not need a pardon."" He added that there ""never should have been an offence of gross indecency"". ""It didn't apply to heterosexuals. Heterosexuals could do what they liked, in the doorways, in passageways, the back of their car. ""It only applied to gay men. That's not right, surely?"" The Sexual Offences Act decriminalised private homosexual acts between men aged over 21 in England and Wales, in 1967. The law was not changed in Scotland until 1980, or in Northern Ireland until 1982. Announcing the new plan, Mr Gyimah said the government would support Lord Sharkey's amendment to the Policing and Crime Bill - which would apply to England and Wales, but not Scotland and Northern Ireland as the Justice Department does not cover devolved administrations. In 2013, the posthumous royal pardoning of Turing led to calls for wider pardons, and the launch of a petition in 2015. The petition gathered almost 640,000 signatories, including the actors Stephen Fry and Benedict Cumberbatch, who played Turing in the film about the enigma code, The Imitation Game. The charity Stonewall, which campaigns for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, said it has begun discussions with the Scottish government to allow similar procedures to be introduced in Scotland. In Northern Ireland, the Rainbow Project, also a charity and campaign group, met with the justice minister in August to discuss the law around historical convictions. Turing, the Bletchley Park code-breaker, was convicted in 1952 of gross indecency with a 19-year-old man. He was later chemically castrated and died in 1954 after poisoning himself with cyanide. His pardon, almost 60 years later, followed a Private Member's Bill introduced by Lord Sharkey. The Lib Dem peer said it was ""a momentous day for thousands of families up and down the UK"". He said: ""It is a wonderful thing that we have been able to build on the pardon granted to Alan Turing during the coalition."" Turing's great niece Rachel Barnes said the moment Turing's family heard he was to receive a pardon was ""absolutely tremendous"". She told the Today programme: ""Alan Turing just so, so deserves this. To think that this is the man who cracked the enigma code and saved countless of millions of lives during World War Two and to think of the treatments that he went through at the hands of the government in 1952 is still unbelievable to us."" She said that the family has always highlighted his achievements rather than the fact he was a gay man. She added: ""Because we shouldn't be thinking about his sexuality, we should really be focusing on the successes of this incredible man in history who has done so much for the country and for the world"". The government has said it will not be supporting a separate Private Member's Bill on the subject - introduced by SNP MP John Nicolson - which is set to be debated on Friday. Mr Nicolson, the MP for East Dunbartonshire, has proposed a blanket pardon for those still living, without the need to apply for their criminal records to be cleared by the Home Office. Mr Gyimah said such a move could see people claiming pardons for acts that are still illegal. ""This would cause an extraordinary and unnecessary amount of distress to victims,"" he added. Paul Twocock from Stonewall welcomed the announcement but said it supported Mr Nicolson's Private Member's Bill. Mr Twocock said the bill ""explicitly"" excluded pardoning anyone convicted of offences that would still be illegal today, including non-consensual sex and sex with someone under 16.","Gay and bisexual men convicted of now - @placeholder sexual offences in England and Wales are to receive posthumous pardons , the government has announced .",known,affected,enhancing,abolished,offered
+"In fact, the whole issue is so fraught that the country's most senior civil servant, Sir Jeremy Heywood, wrote to government ministers in the run up to the politically-charged conference season, warning them against speaking out. Sir Jeremy's email said they could repeat statements they had made before the report was published in July, but urged them to keep quiet now. It was received by some with deep irritation. One cabinet minister told me it was ""unprecedented"". Other ministers believe the letter illustrates the political sensitivity of the decision. The Cabinet Office said they would not comment on leaked documents, but the anxieties in government are real and are twofold. There are concerns over any comments making the final decision more vulnerable to a legal challenge - tying up the decision in the courts for years to come. And there is significant political opposition around the cabinet table, including from the London Mayor, Boris Johnson. He, along with others, is all too ready to remind David Cameron of his own vow in 2009, ""no ifs, no buts"", ruling out a third runway at Heathrow.

Mr Trudeau has said he is ""more than happy"" to answer any questions. After a preliminary inquiry last week, Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson said she would formally investigate whether Mr Trudeau had breached ethics laws. When news of his winter getaway was made public, Mr Trudeau went on the record about the vacation. He has also admitted to using the private helicopter of the Aga Khan. Questions about the vacation have followed the prime minister, who is on a cross-country ""listening"" tour, hosting town halls and stopping into coffee shops to meet with Canadians. On Tuesday, he said he is working with the ethics commissioner on the investigation and that his staff is setting up a meeting with her office to answer questions about the Bahamas trip. Mr Trudeau has said that the stay over the new year was a ""personal family vacation"". He was accompanied on the trip by Liberal MP Seamus O'Reagan and Liberal Party President Anna Gainey, and their respective partners. Prince Karim Aga Khan is a close family friend of the Trudeaus and was an honorary pallbearer at the funeral of Mr Trudeau's father, Pierre. The Aga Khan Foundation has received hundreds of millions from the federal government over the past several decades, from both the Liberal and Conservative parties. Canadian conflict of interest laws prohibit ministers from accepting gifts, including free travel. If the commissioner finds Mr Trudeau broke the rules, he faces a fine of up to C$500 (US$380/?¡ê315) per penalty. No Canadian prime minister has yet been found in breach of a federal statute.

Somerset were well placed after a stand of 154 in 16 overs between Dean Elgar (91) and Peter Trego (66). The hosts' lower order kept attacking but continued to lose wickets and they were all out for 405 in 48 overs. Jamie Overton (40) looked to be taking the match to the final few balls with some magnificent six hitting, but was run out when attempting to keep the strike to give Notts victory. When South Africa opener Elgar and Trego were in full swing, the mammoth target looked achievable - the duo smashing Somerset to 221-3 in the 24th over. But the dismissal of Trego, caught on the mid-wicket boundary off spinner Samit Patel, was quickly followed by Stuart Broad bowling Elgar, checking the hosts' momentum. Somerset's lower order still managed to find regular boundaries as the required run-rate hovered around 10 an over, although Overton's cameo alongside Roelof van der Merwe (43) and Lewis Gregory (26) was ultimately in vein.

""There are two things you want in an actor playing LBJ. You want someone who is so charismatic and so charming, and you want somebody who is absolutely terrifying.

""Mr Cranston's Johnson glitters with an almost salacious ruthlessness when he senses a chance to do a little arm-twisting to lock down another vote for a bill he wants passed,"" wrote Christopher Isherwood in the New York Times last year. The play focuses on two parallel storylines: Johnson's battle to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and his campaign for re-election. ""I want to be all of him, his highs, his lows, his good, his bad, and to present it honestly,"" said Cranston, speaking in an interview about the presidential role.

+"C¨¦dric Herrou was sentenced by an appeal court in Aix-en-Provence, near Marseille in the south of France. He has housed dozens of migrants in caravans on his farm in the Roya valley, in south-east France. In February he received a suspended 3,000 euro (¡ê2,700) fine. Prosecutors had sought an eight-month suspended jail term for Herrou, for helping migrants to slip past police after entering from Italy. Outside the court, Herrou told reporters: ""It's the role of a citizen in a democracy to act when the state is failing."" ""I'd like the judiciary to recognise what's happening on the ground in the Roya valley, recognise these asylum seekers. What am I to do, really? Kick these people out?"" he added. He said he had ""no regrets"" and ""I won't be stopped by threats - quite the opposite"". Herrou has become a symbol of ordinary Europeans who have taken action to aid migrants fleeing war or poverty in the Middle East and Africa. He has housed teenagers from Eritrea and Sudan on his property, reports say. Last month French President Emmanuel Macron described a plan to set up ""hotspots"" in Libya to process asylum seekers, because so many migrants were still ""taking crazy risks"" crossing the Mediterranean. He said nearly a million migrants were currently in camps in Libya, hoping to reach Europe, but were not eligible for asylum. Most of the migrants rescued from overcrowded boats and brought to Italy this year have been sub-Saharan Africans. Many have suffered violence, including rape, but they do not qualify for asylum if they are not victims of persecution. The UN refugee agency UNHCR says nearly 118,000 have reached southern Europe by sea so far this year, more than 96,500 of whom came ashore in Italy. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum.

They also backed plans by the North Kelvin Meadow group who transformed the previously derelict land. If Scottish ministers do not call in the decision, the final say will rest with Glasgow City Council. Councillors considered two applications - one for a residential development from New City Vision and one from the North Kelvin Meadow group for a community woodland and park. After conducting a site visit and hearing from both applicants, committee members approved both applications. BBC Scotland understands that Scottish ministers have made a direction in relation to the site and the council is required to send any relevant details and decisions to them for consideration. Ministers will now decide whether to intervene by calling in the application. If they do not, a final decision will rest with Glasgow City Council, which is the landowner. A council spokesman said: ""The approval of this planning application from New City Vision will deliver both much-needed family homes in the west end and improve the North Kelvinside pitches facility as well as a substantial receipt for the public purse in a time of unprecedented financial constraints for local government.""

Vast areas of government-owned lawns will be replaced by drought-tolerant landscaping, and towns will be banned from watering ornamental grass. Last year, Governor Jerry Brown proclaimed a state of emergency after years of drought. The snow in the mountains is at its lowest level since records began, so water supplies from melting snow will be lower than normal in coming months.

The authority's provisional 2015-16 budget had included ¡ê1.5m cuts to bus services, and reduced funding for the Citizens' Advice Bureau. Homeless shelters faced possible closure under the plans, and the removal of other funding could have forced some scout groups to shut down.

He described their approach to a public consultation as ""arrogant"". However, Mr Marland said a record consultation response showed the authority was listening.

+"Jordan's significance results partly from its strategic location at the crossroads of what Christians, Jews and Muslims call the Holy Land. It is a key ally of the US and, together with Egypt, one of only two Arab nations to have made peace with Israel. The desert kingdom emerged out of the post-World War I division of the Middle East by Britain and France. The population at that time was largely made up of tribes which had taken part in the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Today, those original inhabitants - known as East Bank Jordanians - are outnumbered by the descendants of Palestinian refugees from Israel and the West Bank. Country profiles by BBC Monitoring The first ruler of Jordan, the Hashemite Abdullah I, was born in Mecca and played a leading role in the Great Arab Revolt. The death in February 1999 of King Hussein, who ruled for 46 years, left Jordan still struggling for economic and social survival, as well as regional peace. His son, Abdullah II faces the task of maintaining stability while accommodating calls for reform. A blueprint for long-term political, economic and social change - known as the National Agenda - has yet to be implemented, and the Arab Spring popular revolts across the region found some resonance in street protests. Jordan's reputation as one of the region's safest countries was dealt a blow in late 2005 when dozens of people were killed in suicide bomb attacks on hotels in the capital. Iraq-based Islamic militants claimed responsibility. The king said Jordan had been targeted because of its location and its stances. The civil war in neighbouring Syria has seen Jordan play host to some 600,000 Syrian refugees, while the resurgence of Islamic militancy in Iraq also presents security challenges for Amman. Unlike Arab states to the south and east, Jordan has no oil of its own. Its resources are limited to phosphates and agricultural produce. The economy depends largely on services, tourism and foreign aid, of which the US is the main provider. Jordan prides itself on its health service, one of the best in the region. Jordan engaged in two conflicts abroad in 2014 and 2015, taking part in air strikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Houthi rebels in Yemen.","The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a small country with few natural resources , but it has played a pivotal role in the struggle for @placeholder in the Middle East .",sovereignty,power,survival,acceptance,stability

+"""Beau Biden was an original. He was a good man. A man of character. A man who loved deeply and was loved in return,"" the president said. Beau Biden died at the end of last month from brain cancer aged 46. He was seen as a rising star of US politics but suffered from health problems in recent years. Beau Biden had intended to run for Delaware state governor in 2016. About 1,000 people - including Bill and Hillary Clinton and numerous other top politicians - attended the funeral at a Roman Catholic church in Wilmington, the largest city in the state of Delaware. Vice-President Joe Biden led a procession into the church with his family at the beginning of the service. Mourners heard President Obama describe Mr Biden as a public servant who learned through early tragedy what mattered most and as a result decided upon living ""a life of meaning"" that would inspire those around him. ""He was a scion of an incredible family,"" the president said, ""who brushed away the possibility of privilege for the harder, better reward of earning his own way."" The president described Beau Biden as a son, a father, a soldier and a politician who refused to take short cuts in his determination to serve his country and others. He said that a ""cruel twist of fate"" killed Beau Biden's mother and infant sister in a car crash four decades ago and left Beau - three years old at the time - and his younger brother Hunter in hospital. The accident happened shortly after Mr Biden won election to the Senate in 1972 Coldplay singer Chris Martin was a soloist at the service - he volunteered to perform after hearing that Beau Biden liked the band. Mr Biden was diagnosed with brain cancer in August 2013 and underwent treatment that was initially successful. However, the cancer recurred earlier this year.","Barack Obama has delivered an @placeholder eulogy at the funeral of former Delaware Attorney - General Beau Biden , the son of US Vice - President Joe Biden .",honorary,incredible,independent,unusual,emotional

+"The case was reopened on Monday, brought by investment fund DIS, which claims it was short-changed during Neymar's 2013 move to Barcelona. The fund formerly owned the transfer rights to the 24-year-old. The charges - which are denied by the accused, including Neymar and his parents - were dropped in July. Judge Jose de la Mata was ordered to reopen the case in September by Spain's Supreme Court. DIS, which was entitled to 40% of Neymar's transfer from Brazilian club Santos, claims it received a smaller compensation than it should have because part of the transfer fee was allegedly concealed. As well as the footballer, whose full name is Neymar da Silva Santos J¨²nior, and his parents, the former and current club presidents, Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu and the club itself stand accused of involvement, according to Spanish news agency EFE. Since moving to the Nou Camp, Neymar has won two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, the Champions League, the European Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup and the Club World Cup. He signed a new five-year contract with Barcelona in October. Barcelona have already been told to pay a fine of 5.5m euros ($6.1m; ¡ê4.7m) because of tax irregularities in Neymar's transfer.

Mr Cunha has been leading calls for the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, but he is now facing calls from other parties to step down. As speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, he holds the power to allow impeachment proceedings against Ms Rousseff. The main opposition parties made public a demand last week for Mr Cunha to resign. A request for his resignation had already come from government supporters in Congress. Mr Cunha is being investigated for alleged corruption in a kick-back scheme at the state run oil company, Petrobras. Brazil's Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the Prosecutor's Office was allowed to investigate allegations of corruption against Mr Cunha. Prosecutors said on Friday that he hid millions of dollars in Swiss accounts opened in his wife's and his children's names. ""There is sufficient proof that the foreign bank accounts were not declared and that at least in relation to Eduardo Cunha the money was obtained illegally,"" said a Prosecutor's Office statement. A Brazilian audit court ruled earlier this month that President Dilma Rousseff broke the law in managing last year's budget. She was accused of borrowing money illegally from state banks to make up for budget shortfalls.

The clinic has been running a 10-week course in the exercise regime, which was developed five years ago in Australia. Jenni McCabbe, 67, from Newport, is paying ?¡ê350 for the training because she has mobility issues caused by Parkinson's. ""I wish I'd started 16 years ago, it would have been very helpful,"" she said. ""PD Warrior is teaching me to make large dynamic movements. ""I've written to the head of research at Parkinson's UK to evaluate it and have it rolled out into the NHS if possible."" Jason King, an exercise physiologist from Sydney, Australia, is leading the Welsh trial of PD Warrior. He said the training was different because it combines over-exaggerated movement with mental tasks. ""It might be saying girl's names up through the alphabet or counting backwards from 30,"" he said. ""You keep your mind going while keeping the intensity in the exercise up, which is challenging and that's what we want."" Research in Australia has suggested the training can encourage ""neuroplasticity"" or a rewiring of the brain around areas damaged by Parkinson's. But more study is needed before the treatment can be endorsed in Britain, according to Parkinson's UK. The director of the charity in Wales, Barbara Locke, said she was pleased PD Warrior is available as a private treatment in Wales.

+"Speaking at the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report on Tuesday, he said he wants the government to accept responsibility. The report found a school system for indigenous children separated families and tried to weaken their culture. Over 3,000 children died while at the schools over the last century. Six years in the making, the nearly 4,000-page report found they died at a higher rate than the general population and many were buried in unmarked graves. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper apologised to survivors in 2008, but some critics saw the apology as hollow. Mr Trudeau said the final report builds on Mr Harper's apology and ""sets us squarely on a path to true reconciliation"". ""Our goal, as we move forward together, is clear: it is to lift this burden from your shoulders, from those of your families and communities,"" said Mr Trudeau, speaking to survivors of the schools in Ottawa. ""It is to accept fully our responsibilities and our failings, as a government and as survivors."" Government-led policy amounted to cultural genocide, the report found. The commission found the policy was enacted because the country ""wished to divest itself of its legal and financial obligations to Aboriginal people and gain control over their land and resources."" From 1840 to 1996, more than 150,000 First Nations, Metis ands Inuit children were separated from their families and placed in the government-run schools, in an attempt to rid them of their ""Indian"" culture. Many endured emotional, physical and sexual abuse, with the final report detailing cases of rape and malnutrition. The schools were run by Christian churches. Many survivors are still recovering from having their families separated for decades. Mr Trudeau has set up a government inquiry to investigate missing and murdered indigenous women. He said last week the Canadian government must renew its relationship with indigenous peoples. ""It is my deepest hope that this report and its findings will help heal some of the pain...The Government of Canada sincerely apologises and asks forgiveness of the Aboriginal peoples of this country for failing them so profoundly,"" Mr Trudeau said. ""We have a plan to move towards a nation-to-nation relationship based on rights, respect, cooperation and partnership, and we are already making it happen."" He pledged that the government would enact all of the report's recommendations, beginning with the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

+"For me, that means that events from the 1980s and 1990s seem relatively fresh - while the issues that have arisen since the advent of the Scottish Parliament still appear starkly recent. Inevitably, this lengthening perspective alters one's outlook on life.  Do I dare to eat a peach? However, those of a younger vintage cannot be expected to share this view.  At Holyrood today, they were talking, not of Michelangelo, but of the health service. Kezia Dugdale, Scottish Labour's deputy leader, was invited by the first minister to contemplate her own party's record in such matters.  Cast your mind back, she was challenged, to the first two Holyrood administrations which Labour led. Slightly plaintively, Ms Dugdale replied:  ""I was still at school in 1999."" Well, gee, thanks, Kez.  Rub it in, why don't you? To be fair, her point was not to emphasise her relative youth but to argue that the political focus should be on the here and now. Harking back to Labour's record might, she said, comfort SNP backbenchers but it would provide minimal succour to anyone who slept on a trolley in hospital last night. Ms Sturgeon tried again.  She was, she insisted, talking about today, talking about her government's record.  Only, she argued, it was instructive to contrast it with what went before.  There were, for example, three times as many A&E consultants as under Labour, she said. The discussions with Ruth Davidson of the Tories also featured a double focus.  The topic was the North Sea oil industry.  The falling oil price, said Ms Davidson, was presenting a big challenge to the industry. However, Ms Davidson was also keen to revert to the past.  Imagine, she said, if Scotland had opted for independence.  There would have been, she averred, a black hole in Scotland's accounts to the tune of ?¡ê18.6bn because of declining duties from the North Sea. Ms Sturgeon insisted that Scotland would be better off taking command of her own resources - and offered an historic swipe of her own, accusing successive Labour and Conservative administrations of squandering Scotland's oil wealth. Ms Davidson then brandished today's edition of The Courier which, together with its sister paper the P&J, featured an interview with Alex Salmond in which he argued that Scotland might press for full control of the economy, with only defence and foreign affairs reserved to Westminster, should there be a substantial phalanx of SNP MPs after May's General Election. That meant, said Ms Davidson, ""tearing up"" the stable tax regime which had benefited the North Sea sector.  Pausing for a moment to snort, faintly, at the thought of tax stability under the UK structure, Ms Sturgeon said:  ""Alex Salmond backs independence?  Who knew?""

The dog, which had not been microchipped, is believed to be aged between five and eight years old. Described as ""petrified and nervous"" when found, it took the couple, from Maybole, South Ayrshire, about half an hour to coax it over to them. Anna O'Donnell, from the Glasgow centre, said: ""At this stage it's all a bit of a mystery but we believe Scafell may have been taken up the mountain by his owner and become lost.

+"The summit, chaired by Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, brought tree health experts together with government and industry officials. Dieback has been confirmed at 115 sites; woods in Norfolk, Kent, Suffolk and Essex are among the worst affected. On Tuesday the disease was reported at seven sites in Scotland. Some scientists warn the outbreak has the potential to devastate the UK's population of 80 million ash trees. The summit considered the findings of a nationwide survey carried out by 500 Forestry Commission staff. The data collected from 2,500 10km x 10km areas aimed to identify how far the disease has spread, and formed the basis of discussions on what steps need to be taken to deal with the dieback outbreak. Dieback, caused by the Chalara fraxinea fungus, was first recorded in eastern Europe in 1992 and spread over two decades to infect most of the continent. The key ideas to tackle Chalara identified at the summit, include: These, together with other proposals will be considered for possible inclusion in a Chalara action plan to be published on Friday 9 November. The first confirmed case in the UK was recorded at a nursery in Buckinghamshire back in March 2012. A ban on ash imports and the movement of trees from areas with confirmed cases of dieback came into force on 29 October, just days after government scientists confirmed that the disease had reached the UK's natural environment - at sites in East Anglia. By Mark KinverEnvironment reporter, BBC News Known as the common or European ash, the tree - the UK's only native ash species - is scientifically known as Fraxinus excelsior. It is the UK's third most abundant species of broadleaf tree (after oak and birch), covering 129,000 hectares of woodland. Ash is deemed to be a very important species within the UK's hedgerows and accounts for about for about 10% of the nation's estimated 123 million ""non-woodland"" trees. The common ash is a large deciduous tree that can reach heights in excess of 40 metres (130ft). It can live up to 400 years but coppiced trees can live for centuries longer. The species is wind-pollinated, and the seeds (known as keys) are primarily dispersed by the wind. As the species is long-lived, it is important for wildlife. It supports specialist deadwood species such as the lesser stag beetle and hole-nesting birds including owls and woodpeckers. Ash woodlands have light, open canopies, so are an important habitat for flora such as bluebells and ramsoms. Birds such as bullfinches feed on the trees' seeds. Also, ash provides an important habitat for more than a quarter of Britain's lichen, including nearly 14% of the nationally rare/scarce species. Upland mixed ash woodlands are listed as a priority habitat under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Farming Today: Ash dieback Researchers said the affected trees in woodlands in Norfolk and Suffolk were likely to have become infected as a result of coming into contact with Chalara fraxinea spores that had been blown over from mainland Europe. The majority of confirmed cases have been recorded at nurseries or sites where young ash trees had been recently planted. The Forestry Commission has issued guidance on how to identify the disease. The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) has been critical of the government, saying it first alerted officials of the threat back in 2009. On Monday, a nursery forced to destroy 50,000 ash trees after the disease was found in its tree stock said it was considering taking legal action against the government for failing to block imports sooner. The official spokesman for the prime minister said the issue of compensating affected horticultural businesses would be ""dealt with ultimately by the courts"". A Defra spokesman told BBC News that the decision to convene a Cobra meeting last week and hold Wednesday's emergency summit on Chalara ash dieback was to show that the government wanted to take action ""and is taking the matter very seriously"". Woodland Trust policy director Hilary Allison, who attended the summit, said the discovery of dieback in UK woodlands was very worrying. ""Unfortunately, it is often the case that until a tragedy such as ash dieback becomes a reality, it is very difficult to impress upon people the importance of protecting the UK's trees and the need to enforce stricter controls to prevent new pests and diseases entering the country,"" she told BBC News. She added: ""The Woodland Trust is pleased that Defra has been listening to its call for an emergency summit on ash dieback, but we want to stress that this situation only serves to highlight the consequences of leaving decisions affecting the security of our woodland to the 11th hour.""",A summit on ash dieback has proposed @placeholder on newly planted trees and better surveillance to tackle the disease .,imposed,relied,focusing,boasted,flourished

The Council's languages drive comes as the number of pupils taking GCSEs in modern languages continues to fall.

+"During the Gulf War it was the base of operations for the French military, who continue to maintain a significant presence. France has thousands of troops as well as warships, aircraft and armoured vehicles in Djibouti, contributing directly and indirectly to the country's income. The US has stationed hundreds of troops in Djibouti, its only African base, in an effort to counter terrorism in the region. Djibouti's location is the main economic asset of a country that is mostly barren. The capital, Djibouti city, handles Ethiopian imports and exports. Its transport facilities are used by several landlocked African countries to fly in their goods for re-export. This earns Djibouti much-needed transit taxes and harbour fees. After independence from France in 1977, Djibouti was left with a government which enjoyed a balance between the two main ethnic groups, the Issa of Somali origin and the Afar of Ethiopian origin. But the country's first president, Hassan Gouled Aptidon, installed an authoritarian one-party state dominated by his own Issa community. Afar resentment erupted into a civil war in the early 1990s, and though Mr Gouled, under French pressure, introduced a limited multi-party system in 1992, the rebels from the Afar party, the Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy (Frud), were excluded. Thus, Mr Gouled's Popular Rally for Progress party won every seat and the war went on. It ended in 1994 with a power-sharing deal which brought the main faction of Frud into government. A splinter, radical faction continued to fight until 2000, when it too signed a peace deal with the government of Gouled's successor, Ismael Omar Guelleh. Mass protests took place after President Guelleh persuaded the National Assembly to amend the constitution to enable him to run for a third term, clearing the way for him to stand in the 2011 election, but these were soon put down.","Controlling access to the Red Sea , Djibouti is of major strategic importance , a fact that has ensured a steady flow of foreign @placeholder .",investment,assistance,reserves,culture,equality

The men were convicted of a number of crimes, the local state-run news agency reported.

Ten Protestant men were shot by the IRA in the attack known as the Kingsmills massacre in County Armagh in 1976. They were shot after gunmen stopped their bus on their way home from work. During questioning by a barrister for one victim's family, Det Ch Insp James Mitchell acknowledged that forensic evidence from a van that was involved in the murder was not correlated with evidence found at the scene. If the evidence had been correlated it would have enabled detectives to place the van at the scene, but that did not happen.

Forensic evidence was also gathered from a dark green van which had been hijacked earlier and discovered across the border in Dundalk, County Louth. During the eight months after the killings no forensic reports relating to those items removed were received by the investigations team. This was despite the fact that a positive match between the two sets of evidence could have proven that the van found in Dundalk was at the scene of the massacre.

The win moves Tigers two points clear of Leeds in second, but the Rhinos can draw level on points with them again with victory over Warrington on Friday. Defeat leaves Wigan fifth in the table and winless in four games, with Wakefield capable of moving above Shaun Wane's World Club Challenge-winning side on Friday if they beat Widnes. Castleford were restricted to just one serious attacking set in the opening 12 minutes of the game at the DW Stadium, as Wigan piled on the early pressure, but Super League's most prolific side were sparked into life by Junior Moors. The hard-running forward was instrumental in creating the visitors' opening two tries, his powerful efforts leading to Ben Roberts putting Webster over for the game's first score after 24 minutes before another barnstorming move helped set Zak Hardaker free, with the full-back taking a pass from Sene-Lefao and dishing off for Gale to touchdown two minutes later. Gale converted both tries and edged Daryl Powell's side further ahead with a penalty, before France full-back Escare hit-back for the hosts with a darting run. Sene-Lefao powered through a number of Wigan defenders for Tigers third try early in the second half. And while Escare's second score of the night seemingly set up a nervy finish, Super League leading try scorer Eden intercepted a pass for a near length-of-the-field try to seal Castleford's first win at the DW Stadium in six visits with his 11th try in eight games this term. Wigan Warriors coach Shaun Wane: ""They are flying at the minute and playing a great brand of rugby. ""Our one-on-one defence was poor and the way we ended our sets was not good enough. They're a good team and you need to make sure you finish your sets. ""The players are hurting, it was a tough game to lose, but we look forward to next week."" Castleford Tigers coach Daryl Powell: ""I thought it was an awesome performance. The tough edge we've got as a defensive team shows we're growing all the time. ""I think this was our best win of the season because of the nature of it.

""If we keep defending like that, teams will find it hard to break us down. It was one of the best defensive efforts since I came to the club.

+"But a new accusation of intellectual borrowing has the potential to cause embarrassment at the highest levels. Keen (and not-so-keen) listeners have noticed that Beijing's Winter Olympics song sounds suspiciously like a runaway hit from the Disney musical Frozen. Beijing was awarded the 2022 games on Friday despite the city's lack of snow. Piggy-backing on the massive popularity of Frozen might be just the ticket to dampen down some of the criticisms levelled at the decision - from the lack of snow to China's poor human rights record. But just how similar are the two songs? Judge for yourself: here's China's promotional number and here's Frozen's ""Let It Go"". The official YouTube video for the Chinese song has attracted hundreds of mocking comparisons - although because YouTube is blocked in China they are likely to be from Hong Kong, Taiwan, or other parts of Asia. ""Does anyone want to burst out into 'Let It Go' at 01:14?"", said one user, Shiu-Wah Wong. ""Plagiarism, stealing, copying - that's the only thing China can do,"" said another YouTube user, zn4807. ""There's nothing you can do, this is China, from officials to the people, there's a culture of plagiarism, theft and copying."" Chinese business magazine Caijing Online, cited by the New York Times, analysed the instrumentation in the songs and said they had similar prelude chords and an eight-beat introduction, and run at almost exactly the same tempo.

+"Suarez tapped in on 43 minutes, before Barcelona's Sergi Roberto and Atletico's Yannick Carrasco were sent off for receiving two yellow cards. Substitute Kevin Gameiro then missed a penalty before equalising late on. Suarez was then shown a second yellow and will therefore miss the final. Antoine Griezmann had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside when Atletico had a man advantage, while Lionel Messi also hit the bar with a brilliant free-kick in a frantic second half. Holders Barcelona will now meet either Alaves or Celta Vigo in the final, with those sides playing the second leg of their semi-final tie on Wednesday. Luis Enrique's decision to play Messi was ultimately vindicated as the talismanic striker avoided the yellow card that would have ruled him out of the final, but Suarez's suspension will come as a shock, with the Uruguay striker picking up two yellow cards in the final three minutes. The first was a clear foul but Suarez was perhaps right to feel aggrieved at the second, with Koke making the most of their aerial collision as referee Jesus Gil Manzano produced his third red card of the evening. The other two dismissals were less controversial, Roberto committing a daft foul when already on a caution, just as Aleix Vidal was being readied to replace the right-back on 57 minutes. Carrasco's second clumsy foul 12 minutes later was similarly ill-advised, opening up the game and leaving Atletico vulnerable to a Barcelona side previously in retreat. Yet even with Carrasco's dismissal, the visitors will feel they squandered plenty of clear opportunities to take Barcelona to extra time or even completely overturn the 2-1 first-leg deficit. They dominated the early stages, playing with an intensity that rattled the hosts, and Carrasco and Savic both missed decent chances before keeper Miguel Angel Moya parried Messi's effort straight into Suarez's path for the opener. Barcelona were then able to slow the pace of the game to suit their style, with Atletico unable to trouble them for long periods before a remarkable final half-hour. Gameiro struck a poor penalty attempt against the bar, before tapping in Griezmann's squared pass for the equaliser minutes later. And although Atletico will point to the incorrect decision to rule out Griezmann's fine finish, Barcelona ultimately showed enough resolve to progress as they attempt to win a third straight Copa del Rey.",Luis Suarez scored and was sent off as nine - man Barcelona held on to reach the Copa del Rey final with a thrilling @placeholder victory over 10 - man Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp .,aggregate,upset,comeback,major,special

Chester had to play the final quarter of an hour with 10 men after losing top scorer Ross Hannah, just two minutes after Alabi's 73rd-minute equaliser. The Imps' 81st-minute winner, in their first game since manager Chris Moyses announced his end-of-season departure, earned their first victory in six games.

The technology could revolutionise air traffic services, according to the UK's National Air Traffic Service (Nats). The remote system - designed by Swedish defence firm Saab - includes 14 high-definition cameras and sensors that can spot aeroplanes in all weathers. At Ornskoldsvik, the planes are controlled by a person sitting 90 miles (144km) away at Sunsvall airport. That airport is due to have the same system installed later this year. A spokesman for Saab told the BBC that the technology could be a huge benefit to air traffic control, reducing costs as small airports could pool controllers. The technology can do a better job than humans, he said. ""The cameras and sensors pick up and see aircraft in any environment - in fog, rain and the dark. It is better than the human eye."" The system would also allow for pop-up airports that the military could deploy in war zones - attaching the system of cameras to trucks rather than towers. He said that interest in the system is increasing, with some major airports considering installing remote towers as back-ups and added that the company is in talks with UK airports. The UK's Nats said that it was in discussions with a number of manufacturers about offering the service in the UK.

+"Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted he would build a test track for his Hyperloop ""most likely in Texas"". He provided few details about timetable or cost, although he said that he planned to use the test track to hold annual pod racer competitions. Mr Musk envisages the system operating between cities. There has not been much development since the founder of PayPal announced his plans in 2013. But this week he tweeted : And later added: Later he told the Texas Tribune that the expected the test track would be about five miles long. Mr Musk, founder of Space X and chief executive of Tesla Motors, first announced plans for the Hyperloop in August 2013. The system, he suggested, could transport passengers between Los Angeles and San Francisco in less than 30 minutes thanks to an innovative design that Musk has described as a cross between Concorde, a railgun and an air hockey table. This would see passengers sit in cars that were then fired down a tube which had had most of its air removed.  A system of magnets would accelerate and brake the capsules, and also keep them from touching the sides of the tube. Mr Musk said that a passenger-only model would cost about $6bn and that a prototype would take three or four years to complete. Already there is a crowd-funded California-based project - Hyperloop Transportation Technologies - that has begun thinking about how such a system could be constructed, although they have not yet produced a working prototype. Some 100 engineers from across the US are working on the development of the system but say that they are at least 10 years away from a commercially operating Hyperloop.",An ambitious plan to build a transport system that could theoretically travel at speeds of up to 700 miles per hour has taken a step closer to @placeholder .,reality,death,stay,offer,collapse
+"Several sharks arriving in Scottish waters during summer in 2012, 2013 and 2014 were tagged in an effort to track their movements. A new report analysing the information gathered has identified a key ""migratory corridor"" for the fish. Some sharks were also found to remain close to Scotland and did not migrate. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) working with University of Exeter tagged and tracked the animals. Basking sharks are the world's second biggest fish - the whale shark is the largest - and can grow to 11m (36ft) and weigh up to seven tonnes. They have no teeth and feed on microscopic plankton by opening wide their huge mouths. Every summer the sharks gather in large numbers around small islands between Skye and Mull off Scotland's west coast. The tagging project involved sharks found off Coll, Tiree and Hyskeir. According to the SNH report, the Irish and Celtic Seas represent an important migration corridor for basking sharks moving between the Sea of the Hebrides, the Isle of Man and southwest England. In autumn, tagged sharks were found to move away from the Scottish islands and towards the west of Ireland, the Bay of Biscay, Iberian Peninsula and North Africa. Some of the sharks spent winter off Madeira and the Canary Islands off west Africa, but others remained ""relatively close"" to Scotland throughout the winter. The report added that new research was planned into the microscopic creatures that the giant fish feed on. Other organisations have an interest in the sharks. Three years ago, the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust (HWDT) reported an increase in encounters with basking sharks. Fifty sharks were counted over just nine days.

+"Bids have been submitted by Abellio, Arriva, KeolisAmey and MTR for the next Wales and Borders franchise. Ken Skates said the zero-growth forecast on passenger numbers in the current contract with Arriva Trains had been a ""huge failure"". The new franchise will be awarded in early 2018. Transport and Economy Secretary Mr Skates was giving evidence to the Welsh Affairs Committee's inquiry into the franchise on Monday. The AM for Clwyd South said lessons could be learnt from the current franchise, with passengers concerned about poor quality trains and a lack of capacity. The Welsh Government is committed to paying Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) a subsidy of ?¡ê170m a year under the terms of a 15-year deal signed in 2003. He said talks between the Welsh Government and the Department for Transport had been constructive, but that historic under-funding needed to be addressed.

Meanwhile, chair of the North Wales Business Council, Ashley Rogers, said investment could lead to the creation of 70,000 jobs. The four bids are being assessed by Transport for Wales (TfW), a Welsh Government-owned company, as part of what ministers said would be an ""ambitious and creative not-for-profit model"".

+"The former foreign secretary said the issue of compensation for IRA victims was not raised with him prior to the discussions with the Libyans. He added that had it been on the agenda it is unlikely it would have been resolved. Mr Straw was giving evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. The committee is examining the government's role in seeking compensation for IRA victims who suffered because of explosives supplied by Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The  former foreign secretary who was involved in a peace deal with Libya in 2003,  said there was no suggestion the victims of IRA violence were at the back of the queue. ""The issue of compensation for victims of PIRA (Provisional IRA) terrorism was not raised with me, so far as I can recall and I know the Foreign Office can find no record suggesting it was raised,"" he said. ""When you are involved in negotiations of this kind to deal with a very serious and continuing danger that the Gaddafi regime had caused over many years, you have got to make a decision over what you are going to concentrate on. If the issue of PIRA had been raised we would have taken it into account, it was not raised."" ""Even if we put it on the agenda we didn't believe it should get in the way of the agreement as had we refused an agreement on the WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) agenda with Libyans, it wouldn't have helped the victims of IRA bombings for a second,"" he said. It simply would have meant that Libya would have continued to be dangerous,"" he added. Members of the committee also asked Mr Straw to explain why the families of those killed in the Lockerbie bombing received compensation but those who suffered at the hands of Libyan supplied explosives to the IRA did not. ""Libya under a United Nations Security resolution accepted responsibility for the  Lockerbie attack and agreed to pay compensation,"" he said. ""There was no such  UN Security Council which bonded Libya to pay compensation to the victims of its support for the IRA, that was the difference,"" he said. Mr Straw also revealed that he too had suffered at the hands of the IRA. He told the committee how he had been hit by flying glass when a car bomb exploded outside the Old Bailey in 1973. He added that he later had to sign the release papers for some of those involved in the bombing as part of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations. The UUP MP for south Antrim, Danny Kinahan said Mr Straw's committee appearance will bring no comfort to victims: ""Jack Straw's evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee has raised more questions than answers, and brings us no further in terms of assisting those UK victims of IRA attacks where Libyan Semtex and weapons were used,"" he said.",Jack Straw has denied that IRA victims killed and injured by Libyan - supplied Semtex were @placeholder during negotiations with the Gaddafi regime .,present,denied,ignored,shot,lost

+"New rules come in on 1 January, which will reduce compensation to ¡ê75,000 per person, per institution. Previously the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protected savings of up to ¡ê85,000 per account. Joint accounts will see protection cut from ¡ê170,000 to ¡ê150,000. The maximum compensation across the European Union is set at €100,000, and the British level was reduced as a result of the pound gaining strength against the euro. The precise rate was set on 3 July 2015. At the time, one senior Tory MP described the change as ""defective"". Although 95% of savers will still be protected, as many as 2.5 million people may not be, according to the FSCS. It is advising savers who have more than ¡ê75,000 in one account, or in one institution, to move their money if necessary. The situation is further complicated by the fact that some registered banks and building societies operate under more than one brand. So it you had ¡ê75,000 savings with HSBC, for example, any additional savings in First Direct would not be protected, as both banks have a joint licence. Savers using Bank of Scotland and Halifax are in the same position. But Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and NatWest - although they are sister banks - are both registered separately. So savers could safely have up to ¡ê75,000 in accounts with both banks. ""While this should be quite simple to navigate, it's made complicated by the fact that FSCS cover is shared between banks that operate under the same licence,"" said Hannah Maundrell, editor in chief of money.co.uk. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publishes a full list of registered banks, and which brands come under the same umbrella. Under the new rules, savers who have up to ¡ê1m in their accounts temporarily - as a result of selling a house, or being made redundant, for example - are also protected. To receive compensation, they cannot have had that cash in their accounts for more than six months. A further warning comes in relation to some foreign banks which trade in the UK, but are registered within the eurozone, such as Germany's Fidor Bank, or Sweden's Handelsbanken. Handelsbanken confirmed that the level of compensation would depend on the exchange rate at the time. So depending on how much €100,000 is worth in pounds, savers may get more or less than ¡ê75,000 protection. At the time of writing, that amount is worth less than ¡ê74,000. ""With an increasing number of European banks now offering competitive rates, customers need to be aware that not all savings accounts offered in the UK are covered by the UK compensation scheme,"" said Rachel Thrussell, savings insight manager at Moneyfacts.co.uk.","Millions of savers are being reminded that they may need to move some of their cash , to @placeholder it will be fully protected in the event of their bank going bust .",suggests,prove,prevent,guarantee,confirm
+"The Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care said lessons of previous reports remained ""largely unheard"". It said clinicians and service providers were working ""against the odds"" to address needs. Health Minister Mark Drakeford is attending an event in the Senedd on Tuesday to launch the report. About 1,054 children and young people required palliative care services in Wales in 2014. Of these, it is estimated 10% died during the year. One difficulty identified in the report was that children's palliative care services sometimes came under adult palliative care when decisions were made. The report said much of children's palliative care is not about the final period of life but about helping children and families cope better with a series of conditions which may last many years. The focus on end-of-life care means services are not sufficiently supporting the 90% of children requiring ongoing help, it said. The University of South Wales report, commissioned by Welsh children's hospice Ty Hafan, makes recommendations including giving paediatric palliative care the same status as that for adults. It also calls for a 24/7 telephone advice service for health professionals and to establish child-focused performance measures. Though ""considerable progress"" has been made in recent years, the report claims progress now ""seems to have stalled and needs new impetus"". Mr Drakeford said he welcomed Ty Hafan's commitment to working in partnership with the Welsh government to drive forward key improvements to palliative care for children and young people in Wales.","Children 's palliative care in Wales needs more "" @placeholder attention "" by ministers and the NHS , a new report says .",full,active,strategic,disappointing,unexpected

+"A copy of the ceasefire deal, seen by the BBC, says the main entrances to the camp in Damascus will be opened and basic services will be restored. About 18,000 people have been besieged since last July. Rights groups say more than 100 people have starved to death. Syria has been engulfed in a bloody conflict between government and rebel forces over the past three years. The ceasefire is said to include the Syrian regime, rebel groups based in Yarmouk and many Palestinian factions, Sana news agency reports. It is not clear when the truce will begin. Previous truces have been broken. Both food and medicine are in scarce supply in Yarmouk and large parts of the suburb lie in utter ruin, the BBC's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet reports. For the last two weeks, United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has been unable to distribute food because of continued clashes and shelling, our correspondent adds. Yarmouk has become a symbol of suffering in Syria. This once vibrant Palestinian community has been targeted by a punishing government siege, and rivalry among numerous Syrian and Palestinian armed groups. We saw, on the two occasions this year we managed to enter the besieged area, how desperate conditions are. Nearly 18,000 people are struggling to survive, without basic necessities, under constant shelling and sniper fire. On our last visit in May, Syrian military officers told us they expected to reach an agreement soon. UN officials also spoke of possible positive change. It's taken weeks longer than expected. But the document I've seen sets out a complicated deal. If all the parties to this conflict stick to their agreement to keep this southern gateway to Damascus both neutral and peaceful, it will be a major achievement, and rare good news for the long suffering people of Yarmouk.

""We would welcome any durable and binding agreement that achieves a cessation of hostilities, full humanitarian access and an end to the suffering of civilians in Yarmouk and all of Syria,"" he added.

""It's the biggest honour you can get as a rugby player. To be named in the squad is a fantastic achievement and it's a moment to remember forever,"" Peel told BBC Radio Wales Sport. ""There will be a few nerves but the 30 or so that are lucky enough to be named will be elated."" There will be fierce competition for places in Gatland's squad but Peel knows who he would pick for the number nine shirt. ""I think you go with [Ireland's] Conor Murray, I think he's got a better balance to the game but [Wales'] Rhys Webb is outstanding and was a better number nine in the Six Nations,"" he continued. ""[Webb] was the best nine in the Six Nations without a shadow of a doubt but then [England's] Ben Youngs has played very well over the last two years. ""You have to say in pole position it will be Murray but Webb was outstanding in the Six Nations. His performances against Scotland and France in particular was second to none."" Another tourist in 2005, former Ireland hooker Shane Byrne, does not think Gatland should opt for too many Wales players in his squad, despite coaching them to Six Nations Grand Slams in 2008 and 2012. ""I don't think it should be Wales-heavy. If there was a 50/50 call then he'll probably go with what he knows,"" he told BBC Radio Wales Sport. ""You could see the likes of Jamie Roberts travelling because he knows exactly what they're going to do, they are hugely experienced. ""Another thing I think he will weigh up is have they travelled with the Lions before? I think he will go for a player who has been there and experienced the unique atmosphere on a tour."" Scarlets hooker Ken Owens has made 50 appearances for Wales since making his debut in 2011 and is yet to join a Lions tour but Byrne says this could be his year at the expense of England's Dylan Hartley. ""Right the way through the campaign, he [Owens] has been very consistent. There has been some questioning about his scrummage abilities which is going to be something will be sought after,"" Byrne added. ""As a player he's hardly put a foot wrong.

+"Gino Asquith was born on 9 November 2014, but died three days later. His mother, Sarah Ellis, had been sent home from the hospital two days earlier as there were no free beds. She was seen by eight medics before having an emergency caesarean after they failed to spot signs of distress. Recording a verdict of death by misadventure Coroner Oliver Longstaff said there had been four missed chances to provide medical input. The inquest heard that after Ms Ellis was turned away by Calderdale Royal Hospital (CRH), in Halifax, she went to Huddersfield Birthing Centre, but was sent home on 8 November as her labour was not in an advanced stage. The following day she went back to CRH as she could no longer feel her baby moving but was told she was not dilated enough and was left in the Maternity Assessment Unit for six hours. She later underwent an emergency Caesarean section after being seen by a consultant. Gino had to be resuscitated twice after his birth. Mr Longtsaff said: ""At the very least the delays in Gino being delivered made the chance of him being born alive significantly reduced."" Speaking after the inquest, Ms Ellis and her partner Adam Asquith said: ""Words cannot explain what we have been through in losing our first child together in this terrible way.

+"Mutations of the NR5A1 gene were found in a small percentage of infertile men, reports the American Journal of Human Genetics. Scientists from the Pasteur Institute in France and University College London said it could help doctors investigating men with the condition. A UK expert said he hoped that further gene defects could be found. In the majority of cases, doctors can find no cause for male infertility, despite it accounting for up to half of cases in which couples have difficulty conceiving. Male infertility appears to be more common within certain families, and this leads scientists to believe that there may be a genetic root for some cases, but only a handful of gene mutations which might be responsible have actually been found. The latest research looks at a gene already known to be involved in sexual development in both men and women - defects in NR5A1 have been linked to physical defects in the development of the testicles or ovaries. Their findings suggest that, even where there is no physical evidence of a problem, defects in the gene may be hampering the ability to make sperm. They looked at the gene in 315 apparently healthy men who had an unexplained inability to produce sperm. From this group, they found mutations in the gene in just seven, and closer examination revealed the men had altered levels of sex hormones and, in one case, mild abnormalities in the cellular structure of the testicles. The research authors, from the UCL Institute of Child Health in London and the Institut Pasteur in Paris, said: ""We conclude that approximately 4% of men with otherwise unexplained failure to produce sperm carry mutations in the NR5A1 gene."" Although the find would affect only a small proportion of infertile men, other specialists believe that other similar discoveries could help build up a clearer picture of the origins of the condition. Dr Allan Pacey, a senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said that there was still ""embarrassingly little"" known about the genetics behind male infertility. ""Given the complexity of the sperm production process it is likely that many genes are involved and therefore that may gene defects linked to infertility may be found. ""Although this gene defect affects only a small number of men, we need more studies like this so that we can fill in the gaps in our knowledge and possibly one day build a robust diagnostic test for male fertility based on genetics.""","A @placeholder gene could help explain some cases of unexplained male infertility , according to research .",missing,powerful,faulty,prominent,third

The cases of the Edlington brothers and Shannon Matthews would also be published, Mr Loughton confirmed. Publication will ensure the children involved remained anonymous, he said. In an interview with Children and Young People Now, Mr Loughton said: ""When you read some of these reviews it becomes clear that a lot of fault can be laid at the door of other agencies. ""Yet it is always social workers who take the brunt of the criticism. ""Actually, this is a way of helping to restore some of the lost confidence in social workers."" A spokesperson for the Department  for Education said there was no timeline at present as to when these case reviews will published. In the run up to the election, both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats had said they would publish serious case reviews in full and this commitment was restated in the coalition agreement. They are now set to retrospectively publish reviews from high-profile cases. Baby Peter, from Haringey in London, died at the age of 17 months at the hands of his mother, her boyfriend and their lodger. He had had 60 contacts with the authorities over eight months.

+"A programme called Treasure Map gives the NSA and its UK counterpart, GCHQ, data from operators including Deutsche Telekom, Der Spiegel said. The data is said to include information from networks as well as from individual computers and smart-phones. Der Spiegel cites documents provided by US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden. The former Central Intelligence Agency technical worker is the source of some of the biggest information leaks in US history. A number of US allies, including Germany, have already expressed anger over Snowden-based spying allegations. The Spiegel article claims that the NSA ( National Security Agency) and the UK's GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) are able to eavesdrop on telecom companies such as Deutsche Telekom, Netcologne, Stellar and Cetel. The Treasure Map programme, which the newspaper calls ""the Google Earth of the Internet,"" is said to give the agencies access to data about the network structure and also through individual routers to subscribers' personal devices. Der Spiegel warns that the information obtained could be used for planning sophisticated cyber-attacks. The Treasure map was first mentioned last year by the New York Times, which says the programme collects Wifi network and geo-location data, as well as between 30 and 50 million unique internet provider addresses a€¡± information that can reveal the owner and location of a computer or mobile device. Deutsche Telekom and Netcologne both told Der Spiegel they had not identified any evidence of manipulation or external access to their networks. But Deutsche Telekom's IT security head Thomas Tschersich said: ""The access of foreign secret services to our network would be totally unacceptable."" The Snowden leaks, which began last year, have revealed a massive surveillance operation by the US. Among the disclosures were allegations that the NSA tapped German Chancellor Angela Merkel's mobile phone.

Chairman Lord Mervyn Davies said: ""We are pleased this report recognises trustees' financial management and our strategic leadership. ""We welcome the fact the Charity Commission has endorsed our approach and we are always looking to learn lessons and make improvements."" The Charity Commission investigated the award of contracts, how the trust conducted due diligence on spending, and the funding, structure and governance of the charity. It found contracts were awarded according to robust processes and trustees were acting in compliance with charity law.

+"The aim of the scheme, which closed last month, is to lose the equivalent of 2,400 full-time posts. Finance minister Simon Hamilton says that would save around ¡ê90m from the annual civil service pay bill. The number of staff that have initially applied to be considered for redundancy is 7,285. That figure covers job grades from administrative assistant to senior roles below permanent secretary level, and stretch across all age groups, the trade union NIPSA says. But it does not reflect the final number of staff who will exit the civil service - the selection process has not yet taken place and those selected have the opportunity to withdraw. Civil servants who leave under the scheme will get one month's pay per year of service up to a maximum of 21 months. NIPSA general secretary Brian Campfield said the union did not believe that borrowing up to ¡ê700m to fund job cuts was an appropriate use of public funds.

+"Joint enterprise has become an effective way to prosecute murder, especially in cases involving gangs. But it is controversial because in such cases, there is no need to prove a member of the group intended to kill. Campaigners say up to 600 people are serving life for murder as a result of unjust joint enterprise convictions. To be guilty of murder, the prosecution need only show that someone foresaw the person they were with ""might"" kill or inflict serious harm, said BBC legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman. He said the ""unprecedented"" hearing will ""scrutinise the contentious 'foresight' test at the heart of joint enterprise, and could change it"". Our correspondent said: ""The test at the heart of joint enterprise is one of foresight and possibility, and many believe that lowers the burden on the prosecution and allows those who are simply too morally remote from the crime, bit-part players or not even players at all, to be swept up in a prosecution and convicted on the basis that they were all 'in it together'. ""If the test is passed and a person is convicted of murder, they will receive the mandatory life sentence."" Concern about the use of joint enterprise has also been raised in the past by former President of the Supreme Court Lord Phillips, who said it is ""capable of producing injustice, undoubtedly"". In December 2014, the House of Commons Justice Committee called for an urgent review into its use to prevent overcharging.  Its report noted that a large proportion of those convicted were young black and mixed race men.

Asked about whether it would be useful to introduce an independent chair for the legacy elements of the talks, the secretary of state said the focus should be on using the three-week period after the election to get the Stormont Executive back up and running. ""As secretary of state for Northern Ireland, I take the lead responsibility for the UK government and I very much look forward to getting into discussions with the parties immediately following the election, doing all that I can to support work to get us back into devolved government,"" he said.

Since then, the PSNI Legacy Branch has released figures showing that killings by the Army account for only about 30% of its workload.

Teachers allowed off the 'naughty step' However, the education minister has decided against re-introducing a common, department-run 11-plus test, admitting there was not enough political support to bring back an official exam. ""I have been resolutely supportive of academic selection and, indeed,  the right of people to have academic selection,"" Mr Weir told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme. ""This is actually about providing freedom to schools. They now have the freedom to choose whether to prepare their pupils, what level of help and assistance they can give in terms of preparation tests."" He said his decision to allow primary schools to formally prepare pupils for unofficial tests was ""reflecting the reality of what is happening out on the ground, rather than trying to pretend that essentially, testing does not exist"". However, Mr Weir said no school would be ""compelled"" to carry out the preparation. The 11-plus exam, which used to determine entry into grammar schools, was abolished in 2008. Unofficial exams have been used by many grammar schools to decide which pupils to admit since then, but primary schools were not allowed to help pupils to prepare for those. Previous departmental guidance said that primary schools ""should not facilitate unregulated entrance test arrangements in any way"". They were therefore prohibited from ""supplying support materials, carrying out any preparation for unregulated tests during core teaching hours, offering afternoon coaching in exam technique, or providing familiarisation with a test environment"".

+"The political entity that is modern Australia began to come into being with the arrival of British settlers in 1788. Many of the first settlers were convicts, but freemen started to arrive in increasing numbers after the discovery of gold in the mid-19th century. Aboriginal Australians, who had inhabited the continent for tens of thousands of years prior to British colonisation, numbered a few hundred thousand. Two centuries of discrimination and expropriation cut their population drastically, and now they make up less than 3% of Australia's approximately 23 million people. Australia's politicians at first looked to Europe and the US in foreign policy, but in the past 20 years or so they have made East Asia the priority, in particular Indonesia and China. The government formally apologised in 2008 for the past wrongs committed against the indigenous Australians, who still suffer from high rates of unemployment, imprisonment and drug abuse. Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring The gradual dismantling of the ""White Australia"" immigration policy in the decades after World War II heralded an increase in the number of non-European arrivals, and migration remains a politically-sensitive issue. Originally composed of six separate colonies of the British Empire, Australia's path to independent statehood began with the formation of a federal state in 1901 and was largely complete by World War II. The last few remaining constitutional links with the United Kingdom were severed in 1986, although Australia remains part of the Commonwealth, and The Queen is the head of state, represented by a governor-general. The future of the monarchy is a recurring issue in politics. In a 1999 referendum nearly 55% of Australians voted against becoming a republic. The six states of the federation retain extensive powers, particularly over education, police, the judiciary and transport. Asian orientation Australia's growing orientation towards its Asian neighbours is reflected in its economic policy. It is a key member of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) forum, and aims to forge free trade deals with China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It has also played a bigger regional role, mediating between warring groups in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, as well as deploying thousands of peacekeepers in newly-independent East Timor. The island continent combines a wide variety of landscapes. These include deserts in the interior, hills and mountains, tropical rainforests, and densely-populated coastal strips with long beaches and coral reefs off the shoreline. Through its isolation from other continents, Australia has developed an abundance of unique plant and animal life, most famously marsupials such as the kangaroo.","Australia ranks as one of the best places to live in the world by all indices of income , human development , healthcare and @placeholder rights .

+"HMRC said one of its new campaigns would try to identify regular sellers on eBay, Auto Trader, E-auctions, Amazon, Craigslist and Gumtree. Occasional sellers of personal items do not need to pay tax. But people earning a living as self-employed traders may need to pay income tax, national insurance and VAT. HM Revenue & Customs said the data it gleaned would be compared with its existing computerised records for income tax paid under self-assessment or PAYE, tax credits and national insurance. ""It shines a light onto previously hidden relationships, uncovering anomalies between such elements as bank interest, property income and lifestyle indicators before homing in on unexplained inconsistencies,"" an HMRC spokesman said. The Revenue is also planning to launch more disclosure campaigns in this current tax year, aimed at specific groups of individuals, such as private tutors and fitness coaches, and tradesmen. In the past couple of years the authorities have been making special efforts to get doctors and dentists, plumbers, and more recently restaurateurs, to come clean and pay the right tax. Gary Ashford, of the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT), said: ""The news last week that HMRC have launched 16 criminal investigations off the back of earlier campaigns shows that the taxman is taking a very tough line against suspected tax evaders."" ""It will be important for HMRC to explain to e-traders the borderline between an individual selling one's own surplus belongings and moving into trading,"" he added.

+"There were errors in seven different agency operations before the attack involving Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale between 2009 and Lee Rigby's murder in May 2013 where processes were not followed, decisions not recorded or delays encountered, it says. Below are some of the key dates from the investigations into both men published in the Intelligence and Security Committee's report. May 2008: First identified by MI5. An ""investigative record"" was opened. 2009-10: Occasional indirect coverage of Adebolajo as a result of his contact with another person of interest to MI5. 21 November 2010: Arrested in Kenya by Kenyan authorities with a group of other individuals, assessed to have been attempting to travel to Somalia to join Islamist militant group al-Shabab. MI5 opened a trace on him when informed of the arrest the next day. 25 November 2010: Adebolajo arrived back in the UK, having left Kenya voluntarily, and was interviewed by SO15 - the Met Police's counter terrorism unit - under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000. April 2011: Operation created to focus on Adebolajo's involvement in extremist activity. Initial inquiries made to confirm where he was living. 14 April 2011: MI5 linked Adebolajo to a GCHQ report from January 2010 which listed the historic contacts (between 2008 and 2009) of an individual of interest who later became a high profile and senior figure from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The content of this communication was not sought. 9 May 2011: Urgent application made for further ""intrusive"" coverage, such as intercepting phone calls, against Adebolajo. 21 July 2011: Surveillance indicated that Adebolajo had met a subject of interest investigated for radicalising UK-based individuals and facilitating their travel overseas. August 2011: MI5 passed intelligence to the police regarding Adebolajo's possible intention to be involved in the London riots. In the event, Adebolajo was not arrested. MI5 also contacted the National Terrorist Financial Investigative Unit, suspecting Adebolajo was engaged in fraudulent activity. No evidence of fraud was discovered. September 2011 - October 2012: MI5 commissioned an internal report to summarise what was known about Adebolajo's activities. This noted there was no indication he was currently involved in extremist activities. MI5 cancelled their coverage and planned to close the investigation. November 2012 - May 2013: ""Intrusive"" coverage of Adebolajo reinstated. But no security threat was identified, and investigations indicated that Adebolajo was spending most of his time involved in drug dealing. February - April 2013: MI5 notify SO15 of their belief that Adebolajo was involved in drug dealing. They in turn channelled this information to the local police. However, the house number was accidentally omitted and no further action was taken. 11 April 2013: ""Intrusive"" coverage of Adebolajo cancelled. 22 May 2013: Fusilier Lee Rigby murdered. August 2011: Adebowale identified by GCHQ as having shown an interest in extremist material online. April 2012: An ""investigative record"" is opened. Telephone analysis showed that Adebowale had been in contact with subjects of interest. Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) and the Welsh Extremism and Counter-Terrorism Unit conducted enquiries into Adebowale. No trace of current involvement in extremist activity was found. June 2012: MI5 closed its investigation into Adebowale. It assessed he did not pose a current threat to UK national security. September 2012: Adebowale identified by GCHQ as having been referred to as a ""lone wolf"" in monitored online comments. 25 January 2013: Decision to create investigation into Adebowale was endorsed by MI5 management team. January-February 2013: Adebowale's online activity was reviewed and revealed he had been in contact with another person of interest. 13 March 2013: Intelligence indicated Adebowale had sought to disseminate extremist material. This was a possible offence; potential executive action was considered. 19 April 2013: MI5 and SO15 agreed to build further coverage of Adebowale in order to form a better assessment of how to disrupt him and manage any risk. 26 April 2013: Application drafted for further ""intrusive"" techniques against Adebowale. Several revisions to the draft were subsequently discussed and made in order to meet statutory and policy requirements. 21 May 2013: Revised application was approved by a senior manager and MI5's deputy director general. Final draft sent to the Home Office as a routine application. 22 May 2013: Fusilier Lee Rigby murdered.

+"The Edublogs site went dark for about an hour after its hosting company, ServerBeach, pulled the plug. The hosting firm was responding to a copyright claim from publisher Pearson, which said one blog had been illegally sharing information it owned. ServerBeach said it had had to act because two requests to remove the content had been ignored. The offending article was first published in November 2007 and made available a copy of a questionnaire, known as the Beck Hopelessness Scale, to a group of students. The copyright for the questionnaire is owned by Pearson, which asked ServerBeach to remove the content in late September. ServerBeach contacted the administrators for Edublogs, who investigated and marked the blog entry so its publishing system would no longer display it to the public. Unfortunately, in early October automated systems at ServerBeach spotted a copy of the disputed blog entry stored in the working memory of software Edublogs uses to make sure web pages are displayed quickly. The copy of the blog entry was in this memory store - only visible internally - because of the way Edublogs readies web pages for display. When Edublogs did not respond within 24 hours to emails alerting it to the allegedly infringing content, ServerBeach shut down the entire site. In comments given to tech news site Ars Technica, ServerBeach defended its actions saying it had had to shut Edublogs because, as a hosting firm, it had no way to exert control over individual blogs. In a blogpost posted after the row was over, Edublogs founder James Farmer took ServerBeach to task over its actions, saying he was ""stunned"" at how quickly it had reacted.

Thirty-one crew members remain onboard to refloat the vessel. The AAD said the refloating process, where the crew will attempt to move the ship off the rocks, would take several hours, and that afterwards the ship would be taken to a nearby sheltered area for inspections. The vessel incurred a small breach in the hull when it ran aground, which the AAD said poses no risk to the ship's stability or to the environment. It added there was no fuel spilled so far. The Aurora Australis left Hobart in Tasmania on 11 January and carried out marine science research around the Kerguelen Plateau, a submerged continent that extends for 2,200km (1,365 miles), before arriving at Mawson on Saturday.

+"It followed US President Donald Trump's comment, as part of his broad-ranging New York Times interview, that the wife of the Japanese prime minister, Akie Abe, cannot speak any English. When netizens discovered the YouTube video of her giving a speech in English, however, they went on to speculate that she must have pretended to not know the language to avoid having a conversation with Mr Trump. His critics treated her as their hero and American media have taken an intense interest in the story. But the truth may not be as black and white. While the president's remark that she cannot even say ""hello"" may be an exaggeration, being able to read a scripted English speech does not mean that one is capable of having a spontaneous conversation over dinner. Her previous diplomatic encounters have almost always been through an interpreter and when the BBC requested an interview with her in the past, they said she would only accept if it is conducted in Japanese. Responding to the uproar over Mr Trump's re-telling of his encounter with Akie Abe at the G20 summit, Japan's foreign ministry spokesman told the BBC there would be no official comment, as it was a private conversation. ""In the meantime, we acknowledge in that interview that President Trump stated that he enjoyed the evening with her [Mrs Abe], and she is really a lovely woman,"" the ministry added. But Japanese people have been weighing into the debate, and they divide broadly into three camps. The editor of the Huffington Post Japan, Tomoko Nagano, asked if Mr Trump could say hello in Japanese while one Twitter user, @cevicherohack, said he finds it annoying that English speakers assume everyone should be able to speak their language. @hidezumi thought the president was impolite not to have led the conversation while New York Times reporter Hiroko Tabuchi said the issue may be Mr Trump's conversational skills, not Mrs Abe's.

+"Large parts of health board and council budgets are being merged in a bid to cut bed-blocking and aid the transition to nursing home care or home care. People with long-term conditions, disabilities and the elderly are expected to see the greatest benefit. The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act has been described as the most substantial reform to the NHS in a generation. It forces councils and the NHS to work together to provide more streamlined services. The two organisations have to decide which one of them is going to take the lead in decision-making, or delegate those decisions to a separate body. There is some evidence that co-ordinating care can have a significant effect on the quality of life of frail older people and people with long-term conditions. It is also associated with lower costs. The Scottish government hopes it will ease the pressure on hospitals by speeding up the journey of patients. In order to drive improvements, a new target is being set for delayed discharges. From 1 April, no-one should wait more than 14 days to be discharged from hospital into more appropriate care. The current target is four weeks. In March it was announced that health and social care partnerships would be piloted in 29 areas in England, although so far only Greater Manchester has gone as far pooling its entire health and care budget. In Scotland, it is estimated that at least 60% of health board budgets and 72% of local authority social care budgets will be handed over to the new ""integration authorities"". In Wales an ""integrated care framework"" was published by the government last year, promising closer working between local government, health, housing and the voluntary sector. Northern Ireland has had an integrated health and social care system since the early 1970s with its five health and social care trusts. The Highlands of Scotland have had merged health and social care budgets since 2012. The NHS became the lead agency for adult care, while the council took over responsibility for children's services. However, it has not proved a magic bullet. NHS Highland experienced difficulties with blocked beds this winter, which was blamed on a lack of care home places and support packages for elderly patients to return home.

+"The service was stopped after concerns were raised over the number of organs rejected by Leicester General Hospital. University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust called for an external review which found problems with its procedures. It has suspended the service while changes are made affecting about seven patients. Experts were called in January after it was revealed the hospital appeared to refuse a higher than average number of kidneys offered to Leicester's Renal Transplant Service. By Rob SissonsHealth Correspondent, BBC East Midlands Today Kidney transplants are one of the miracles of modern medicine, something that truly transforms people's lives. Without it, they face months, years, on dialysis, wired up to a machine every few days and with restrictions on food and drink. The news that Leicester's unit may have turned down kidneys that might have been used locally, will not sit well with people waiting for that phone call. People die waiting for a kidney. The decision on whether or not to accept an organ for transplant can be a tricky one for surgeons and sometimes they might think it's worth waiting for a better match. The review team visited last week to speak to staff, examine paperwork and patients' outcomes. It found no patients had been harmed, the trust said, but it raised questions about the ""policies, processes and guidelines"" and also the way the team worked together. Andrew Furlong, the trust's deputy medical director, said it was ""incredibly disappointing"". He added: ""We have decided to pause the surgery because for this, or any other kind of complex surgical procedure, we have to have cast iron processes, policies and procedures underpinning the surgery itself and good team working between the clinicians, until it can be independently verified that these are in place we would prefer to err on the side of caution."" The review team will return in two weeks and will make further recommendations including whether kidney transplants should resume. Three patients were due to have live transplants in the next two weeks with a further four estimated to receive kidneys from dead donors. These may all now move to Nottingham.

+"The 32-year-old admitted to having ""questions"" over his position during the 4-0 series defeat in India. Cook and Strauss regularly meet to review each series that England play. With England not due to play a Test until July, Cook will be given time, with no decision likely before the end of the limited-overs series in India. The white-ball teams, led by Eoin Morgan, play three one-day internationals and three Twenty20s, the last of which is on 1 February. With the majority of England's management, including coach Trevor Bayliss, currently in India, some staff met via video-link on Monday. Cook, who was appointed in 2012 and has captained in an England record 59 Tests, is thought to have already spoken informally to Strauss and indicated that he would like more time to come to a decision. The opening batsman was sacked as one-day captain in 2015, but is unlikely to face a similar situation if he wishes to remain as Test skipper. Speculation over how long he might remain as leader first arose before the tour of India, when Cook said he was looking forward to a time when he was no longer captain. Though England gained a creditable draw in the first Test, their performances deteriorated. In the fourth Test they became only the third side to lose by an innings after making 400 or more batting first, a result that sealed a series defeat and after which Cook said he thought vice-captain Joe Root was ""ready"" to lead. The fifth Test saw the tourists again beaten by an innings after hitting 477 batting first, this time with India piling on 759-7, their highest Test total and the largest made by any side against England. In the aftermath, former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott called on Cook to step aside, while ex-captain Michael Vaughan said he expected the opener to stand down. However, he has been publically backed by Bayliss and many members of his squad, most recently opening batsman Haseeb Hameed.

+"The message urges Muslims to emigrate to the ""caliphate"" it has proclaimed in areas of Syria and Iraq. A reference to the Yemen conflict means it is recent. Analysts say the voice appears to be Baghdadi's but this is not verified. Baghdadi's fate has been unclear amid reports of air strikes by the US-led coalition that is opposing IS. The message came as IS advanced to within 2km (1.2 miles) of the Unesco World Heritage site of Palmyra, one of the archaeological jewels of the Middle East. Syria's antiquities chief warned that if IS seized Palmyra it would destroy everything that exists there. The latest message was released by the group's al-Furqan media outlet and appeared on several websites. Analysis: BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner The voice on the audio recording is clear, assured and, in places, almost melodic. If it is indeed, as is claimed, the voice of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, then it will put paid to previous rumours of his death. Since we don't actually see him he could, of course, be physically incapacitated. But the lengthy, 33-minute speech does not sound like one made by someone in failing health. The speaker, who makes continual use of religious quotations, exhorts Muslims around the world to join forces with his group. Most significantly, he mentions the Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen which began on 26 March, meaning this recording can be no more than seven weeks old. US government linguistic experts will have doubtless been quick to analyse the voice patterns on the tape to see if they match earlier recordings of Baghdadi when he appeared in vision last year. The speaker says: ""There is no excuse for any Muslim not to migrate to the Islamic State... joining [its fight] is a duty on every Muslim. We are calling on you either to join or carry weapons [to fight] wherever you are."" He adds: ""Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. No-one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the Islamic State. It is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic State is spearheading it. It is the war of Muslims against infidels."" IS declared a ""caliphate"" over parts of Iraq and Syria in June 2014. The speaker in the message says: ""There is no might nor honour nor safety nor rights for you except in the shade of the caliphate."" The speaker also makes references to the recent Saudi-led air campaign against Shia rebels in Yemen, which began on 26 March. He condemns the Saudi royal family and says the conflict in Yemen will lead to the end of its rule. Baghdadi's last message was in November. His only public appearance was to deliver a sermon in Mosul in Iraq after IS took the city last July. An Iraqi interior ministry spokesman said in April that Baghdadi had been seriously wounded in a coalition air strike in March. However, the Pentagon said it had no information on that, and other reports last year of him being injured proved to be inaccurate. The Iraqi ministry of defence said on Wednesday that the second-in-command of IS, Abdul Rahman Mustafa Mohammed, was killed in an undated coalition air strike on a mosque in northern Iraq.

+"They openly admit Europe has lost control of the migrant crisis, and they fear for the future of the European project itself. Certainly, the Schengen agreement - which guarantees freedom of movement and is one of the pillars of European unity - is being widely ignored as fences go up and border controls reappear. On Monday Greece was even warned that it could find itself excluded from the Schengen area if the flow of migrants is not stemmed. But do these leaders really believe the European Union itself is at risk? It strains credibility to believe the single market is at risk and European project could fall apart in months. But there is an element of fear seeping through the corridors of the Berlaymont building in Brussels and the Bundestag in Berlin. At the heart of the crisis, the problem is simple: ""We cannot cope,"" Mr Rutte said, ""with the numbers any longer."" In 2015, 1.83 million migrants came to Europe, of which 1.1 million sought asylum in Germany. More than 35,000 have crossed from Turkey into Greece since the start of the year. German leaders have repeatedly said migrants are a European problem, but that analysis is not universally shared. Many politicians in Eastern and Central Europe incline to a different script: that Mrs Merkel encouraged large numbers of migrants by essentially laying out a welcome mat. The Germans, according to this narrative, provided the pull factor but are insisting others share the burden of dealing with the crisis. So there are divisions and mistrust. The European Commission believed the answer lay in sharing out the refugees between countries. It was agreed 160,000 migrants would be resettled across Europe. Only 331 have been moved so far. Countries - irritated by majority voting - have simply ignored the plan. Mrs Merkel made a big bet on Turkey: that in exchange for a??3bn and the offer of visa-free travel, Turkey would slow the numbers crossing the narrow straits to Greece. But not all the funds have been forthcoming, and Turkey has frustrated Europe's leaders with its lack of action. In the meantime, countries began implementing their own measures. Hungary built a fence. Germany, Austria,France, Denmark, Sweden and Norway all began introducing checks at their borders. It amounted to a suspension of the Schengen agreement. They insisted the controls were temporary, but they are looking to extend them. Further plans have continued to cascade out of the commission's meetings. There would be a compulsory sharing out of refugees across the EU - even though it has shown little evidence of this working so far. Secondly, Greece and Italy - the two countries where most of the migrants first arrived - would create hotspots, or reception camps, where people would be registered. Those who did not qualify for asylum would be turned around. But in Greece, only one out of five planned camps has been built. And if the migrants are refused asylum, it is unclear which force will physically remove them from Europe and where they will go. German Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel hinted aid would be withdrawn from North African countries if they did not take back rejected asylum seekers. Many of Europe's leaders believe it will be impossible to save Schengen if Europe's external borders are not secured allowing potential refugees to be screened and processed and not just waved through to Austria and Germany. But they have lost faith in Greece's ability to do this, so the commission has proposed a European Border and Coast Guard force, which in an emergency could overrule national governments. Such a force would impinge on sovereignty. Arguments are likely to be fierce before it is operational, and it is unclear what would happen if governments objected. Pressure is growing on Greece to cooperate. There is talk of Greece having to leave Schengen if it does not agree to take the border guards, or that the Schengen border could be moved  - maybe to Slovenia - so Greece no longer forms part of the EU's external frontier. But it is not just a case of Greece being awkward. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras fears if Greece starts processing all the migrants and denying some of them asylum, the country could become ""a massive refugee camp"". And if the border moved to a country such as Slovenia, then there too a no-man's land for stranded refugees could develop. In the meantime, countries act unilaterally. Macedonia, on Greece's northern border, is building a 10ft (3m) razor-wire fence. Austria has decided to cap the number of asylum seekers it will accept in 2016, at 37,500. All the time, the pressure grows on Mrs Merkel to cap the number Germany will accept. She continues to refuse. Not only would it be an acceptance her policy had failed - but she fears the refugee problem would be pushed back into Eastern Europe and the Balkans, further undermining the Schengen agreement. The pressure the German chancellor is under was reflected in the words of the German President Joachim Gauck, who said refugee quotas might be ""morally and politically necessary"". Even in the winter months the numbers of migrants has not subsided. Some 2,000 are continuing to arrive each day, which - some of Europe's leaders insist - is unsustainable. What this chapter of events underlines is how difficult it has been to forge a European response to the crisis. It raises questions about German leadership. It reflects the pressure on politicians to look after their own national interests by slowing down migrant numbers. It has exposed divisions between Eastern Europe and the northern countries. It reflects different values, a resistance in the East to embrace a multicultural society they have little experience of. And that clash of values is also evident in Germany, where the Bavarian leader Horst Seehofer - an ally of Mrs Merkel - questions what more refugees will do to the country. ""That is then a different society. And the people don't want Germany or Bavaria to become a different society,"" he said. So what will happen? The answer almost certainly does not lie in the commission's plans. EU countries will have to use their financial power to persuade other countries to take back failed asylum seekers. A huge investment - as the German Finance Minister has suggested - will have to be made in countries such as Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon to persuade them to keep people in camps but in much better conditions than they are at present. In the longer term, it will probably require some sort of Marshall plan to prevent people fleeing the countries on the rim of the Mediterranean. It may be that, like Canada, the EU will take only refugee families from Syria, rather than young men. And it may be, as some politicians are suggesting, the EU will have to demonstrate a greater willingness to deport failed seekers of asylum. The EU's immense achievement of helping to sow peace in Europe and spread democracy is not at risk - but the migrant crisis is tearing at the fabric of a community of shared values.","For the past 10 days , Europe 's leaders have been @placeholder in a bout of gloom .",confirmed,engaged,rediscovered,enveloped,stuck

+"So pledges being made this week on fares by the 2016 mayoral contenders are worth examining closely. Mind you, how far such retail offers affect voting intentions is a difficult one. In 2012 Ken Livingstone pledged to cut fares and opinion polling suggested it was popular. But it wasn't enough to return him to City Hall. Yet Boris Johnson was definitely worried by the Livingstone pledge and knew he had to pull out the stops to counter it. It clearly affected his thinking. In 2008 Johnson had promised to deliver consistent annual fare rises of two per cent above inflation to allow TfL's business plan to be fulfilled and maintain levels of investment. He explicitly ruled out stop-go fare decisions. But two years into his second term - and with a general election looming - he and the Conservatives too succumbed. For three years now, fare increases have been pegged to the rate of inflation only. Now Labour's Sadiq Khan is promising a four-year freeze in cash terms - in other words, not even allowing them to go up in line with inflation. He claims this will cost ¡ê450 million a year, which he says will be compensated for by efficiencies and better property deals. Caroline Pidgeon - if Liberal Democrat mayor - would introduce half-price fares before 7.30am at a cost, she estimates, of ¡ê30m a year. The Greens' Sian Berry promises a flat fare and the abolition of zones which, taken together with other measures, would cost about ¡ê260m a year. With all the pledges, the big unknown is how much extra income might be generated from a resultant increase in ridership. The Conservative Zac Goldsmith has said that it is rash to promise fare freezes, not least when the Chancellor is turning off the grant tap - cutting ¡ê2.8bn over the next four years. This will all revive the debate about whether over these last few years Londoners have been paying fairly today for improvements tomorrow. And whether the burden has been shared reasonably - with taxpayers across the country - of  modernizing the transport system of the ""engine-room"" of the UK economy. But in the end, fares will be just one - albeit important - area which voters chuck into the mix when they consider the candidates' overall credibility and credentials to be mayor.","With its ¡ê 11 bn budget accounting for about two thirds of City Hall spending , transport is the mayor 's biggest financial @placeholder .",crisis,burden,contributor,responsibility,client
+"It has launched its next generation of Gorilla Glass - the material used in more than 70% of smartphone screens, including on Samsung and Apple devices. Corning said Gorilla Glass 5 could survive more than 80% of drops from as high as 1.6m (5ft). Shattered or cracked screens are the number one cause of smartphone repairs and customer complaints globally. The new glass was tested on rough surfaces - a demo for journalists showed dummy phones being dropped from a height of 1.6m on to a sheet of sandpaper. Some of the phones tested survived over 20 hard drops in the lab. Typically, most phone drops are from between waist and shoulder height. As well as drops, the company said it was twice at good at resisting scratches and other damage compared to what's currently on the market. Device manufacturers are expected to unveil products with the new glass within the next few months. ""We've been working with our closest customers for quite some time now,"" Corning's vice president and general manager John Bayne told the BBC. ""And there's tremendous interest in this product for obvious reasons."" However, he warned that Corning had no control over eventual smartphone designs, meaning some models could be slightly weaker depending on the manufacture and design of the device. Corning's statistics were based instead on controlled lab conditions. The company would not let the BBC test the glass outside of the lab. Corning's work in specialist glass dates back to 1879, when it produced the glass used in the iconic Edison lightbulb. By 2016, more than 4.5 billion devices use Gorilla Glass, which is created using a technique known as fusion forming. It involves placing the raw materials - sand and ""other inorganic material"" - into a melting pot. It is then transferred to an isopipe, essentially a small trough, which is intentionally overfilled. The melted material spills out over both sides and combines underneath to form the sheet of glass. This technique means there is no human contact needed in creating the glass, eliminating defects and removing the need to treat the glass afterwards.

+"Representative Duncan Hunter, a frequent critic of the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS), has written to Defence Secretary Ash Carter about the incident. DCGS is a communications network for military and intelligence units. Twenty-two people died at the Medecins Sans Frontieres hospital on 3 October. There is no clear indication yet that any disruption of the DCGS network had a direct impact on the decision to attack the hospital. However, it has not yet been explained why military commanders made that decision, given that the Pentagon has commented the strike was not ""intentional"". Mr Hunter says that his sources for information on DCGS include military personnel acting as whistleblowers who are afraid to speak out publicly. ""Senior army leaders have gone to extraordinary lengths in recent years to deny evidence of the failures of the DCGS program, and I am asking for your help to prevent them from doing so following this tragic incident,"" wrote Mr Hunter. Parts of the system that Mr Hunter highlighted in his letter as not working during the attack included a server that  allows communications between different divisions of the army and a cloud service that is intended to provide communication to personnel in the field. Aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has been deeply critical of the strike and says that Mr Hunter's comments ""reinforce"" the need for an independent investigation. Various inquiries, by the US Department of Justice, the Pentagon, Nato and an American-Afghan team have been requested. MSF has also applied for an investigation by the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission (IHFFC), which was created in 1991 under the Geneva Conventions. ""It was one of the only buildings in all of Kunduz that had full electricity from generator power that night - from the air, the hospital must've been as visible as a full moon in the night sky,"" an MSF spokeswoman told the BBC.

+"David Cameron said he would respect the defeat of a government motion by 285-272, ruling out joining US-led strikes. The US said it would ""continue to consult"" with the UK, ""one of our closest allies and friends"". France said the UK's vote does not change its resolve on the need to act in Syria. Russia - which has close ties with the Assad government - welcomed Britain's rejection of a military strike. The prime minister's call for a military response in Syria followed a suspected chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of the capital Damascus on 21 August, in which hundreds of people are reported to have died. The US and UK say the Assad government was behind the attack - a claim denied by Damascus, which blames the rebels. Assad said Syria would defend itself against any aggression. The UK government's motion was in support of military action in Syria if it was backed up by evidence from United Nations weapons inspectors, who are investigating the attack. They are due to finish their work on Friday and give their preliminary findings to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the weekend. After the vote Prime Minster David Cameron said it was clear Parliament did not want action and ""the government will act accordingly"". Chancellor George Osborne told Radio 4's Today programme there would now be ""national soul searching about our role in the world"". He added: ""I hope this doesn't become a moment when we turn our back on all of the world's problems."" Defence Secretary Philip Hammond had told BBC's Newsnight programme that he and the prime minister were ""disappointed"" with the result, saying it would harm Britain's ""special relationship"" with Washington. But he said he did not expect Britain's decision to ""stop any action"" by other countries. Labour leader Ed Miliband said on Friday that the House of Commons had spoken ""for the people of Britain"". ""People are deeply concerned about the chemical weapons attacks in Syria, but they want us to learn the lessons of Iraq,"" he said. ""They don't want a rush to war. They want things done in the right way, working with the international community."" He said Britain ""doesn't need reckless and impulsive leadership, it needs calm and measured leadership"". Mr Miliband said Britain's relationship with the US ""remains strong"" despite the vote. He said there is a lesson that Britain must do what is in its national interest, even if that means doing something different to America. He also said that Mr Cameron must ""find other ways"" to put pressure on Mr Assad. The result of the vote was condemned by former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Ashdown, who tweeted that in ""50 years trying to serve my country I have never felt so depressed [or] ashamed"". He later told the BBC that by doing nothing President Assad will use chemical weapons more ""those weapons will become more commonplace in the Middle East battlefield"" and ""we will feel the effects of that as well"". Thirty Conservative and nine Liberal Democrat MPs voted against the government's motion. The defeat comes as a potential blow to the authority of Mr Cameron, who had already watered down a government motion proposing military action, in response to Labour's demands for more evidence of President Assad's guilt. The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said the prime minister had now lost control of his own foreign and defence policy, and as a result he will cut a diminished figure on the international stage. He added that some strong advocates of the transatlantic relationship were worried that America may now question the value and reliability of Britain as an ally. During the debate, Labour had seen its own amendment - calling for ""compelling"" evidence that the regime was responsible for chemical attacks - rejected by MPs by 114 votes. But, unexpectedly, MPs also rejected the government's motion. Labour's shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said the government defeat was down to the ""fatally flawed"" case put to MPs by Mr Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, claiming the pair's credibility was now diminished. Shadow defence secretary Jim Murphy said so many of Mr Cameron's own MPs had voted with Labour because they were now ""unwilling to take him at his word"". Conservative rebel Crispin Blunt said he hoped the vote would ""relieve ourselves of some of this imperial pretension that a country of our size can seek to be involved in every conceivable conflict that's going on around the world"". In other developments: In a statement, the White House said President Obama believed ""that there are core interests at stake for the United States and that countries who violate international norms regarding chemical weapons need to be held accountable"". Obama administration officials on Thursday told a group of US lawmakers in a conference call that it was ""beyond a doubt that chemical weapons were used, and used intentionally by the Assad regime,"" said Eliot Engel, the senior Democratic member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said the US would ""continue to work with Britain and consult with Britain as we are with all our allies"". On Friday French President Francois Hollande told the newspaper Le Monde that he would still be willing to take action without Britain's involvement. He said he supported taking ""firm"" punitive action over an attack he said had caused ""irreparable"" harm to the Syrian people. Germany, however, has ruled out taking part. Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told the Osnabruecker Zeitung newspaper that ""such participation has not been sought nor is it being considered by us"". Meanwhile, Mr Assad told a group of Yemeni MPs on Thursday that Syria would defend itself against any aggression, according to Syria's Sana news agency.

+"HM Inspectorate of Probation found delays in getting offenders to start their work, and said too many were let off if they did not attend. In one case, an offender had completed just 16 hours in the 17 months since he had been sentenced. The Ministry of Justice said it was acting on the report's recommendations. Anything from 40 to 300 hours of unpaid work - or ""community payback"" - may be given for offences like shoplifting, theft, drug offences, or criminal damage. Some 70,000 offenders were ordered to do unpaid work such as garden maintenance, decorating or litter-picking in 2014. Inspectors looked at 100 cases and interviewed 86 offenders from different probation divisions for their report. The report outlined 15 recommendations for improvement. Some of the problems identified were: Seven years ago the government, then led by Gordon Brown, placed an order for 10,000 orange bibs. They were to be worn by offenders doing unpaid work under a re-branded scheme known as ""community payback"". It was intended to give the public confidence that community sentences, involving clearing communal paths and gardens, picking up litter and painting over graffiti, were a ""tough"" alternative to imprisonment. When the coalition came to power in 2010 it promised to make unpaid work more physical and intense, with unemployed offenders required to complete their sentences more quickly. The difficulty has always been organisation. Getting people who lead chaotic lives - many of them with drink or drug problems - to work on time is a task in itself. If sanctions are applied, they will end up in prison; if not, the sentence cannot be enforced. As the inspection report reveals, it is a problem the authorities still have not solved. Inspectors did praise instances of high-quality work, and cases where offenders believed they had gained skills from using good tools and equipment. They also highlighted that many offenders viewed their sentence positively and ""were determined to... desist from future offending"". Among its recommendations were that community rehabilitation companies should reduce how often offenders are turned away from work when they have reported on time, and to try to create objectives for unpaid work that ""match the circumstances of the offender"". The chief inspector of probation, Paul Wilson, said it appeared in most cases that unpaid work was viewed simply as a punishment, which was a ""wasted opportunity"". ""Although we found some high-quality management and delivery, much of it was simply not good enough, lacking in focus on the basic requirement to deliver and enforce the sentence of the court."" He called for ""urgent remedial action"". A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said it wanted ""much more effective rehabilitation"" - which had to start with making sure offenders turned up on time and faced consequences if they did not.

+"But, battling waves as big as houses, the crews of the Holyhead and Moelfre lifeboats made it to the stricken ship. Now, 50 years on the RNLI marked one of the most remarkable rescues in its 192-year history. Crew members reunited at an event on Friday to remember the rescue. Graham Drinkwater, Eric Jones, Jackie Hughes, Will Jones and Brian Stewart - five of the Anglesey crew who braved the conditions back on 2 December, 1966 - were guests of honour at the event in Holyhead. In a video message played to them, one of the rescued Greek sailors gave thanks to the rescuers for saving his life. The Nafsiporos' Second Officer Anestis Rokopoulos, now 73, said: ""My only message is 'thank you'. I am alive only because of these people. I make a family and I make grandchildren only because of these people."" ""We had no control and no steering. The rocks looked like knives. Then from the depths of the sea came these boats and we said, 'They have come for us',"" he said. All 17 crew on board the Holyhead and Moelfre lifeboats were awarded rare medals for gallantry, in an operation that involved three lifeboats over 24 hours. First to the rescue was the Douglas RNLI lifeboat, under Coxswain Robert Lee, which launched at 08:30 GMT to chase the Nafsiporos as the storm drove her across the sea. Although a Shackleton aircraft circling above the ship was able to give its position, volunteers on the Douglas boat never saw the vessel, as the bad weather reduced visibility to less than 460m (1,500ft). Meanwhile, Lt Comm Harold Harvey, RNLI North West's lifeboats inspector, volunteered his services and the Holyhead lifeboat St Cybi was launched at 10:30. After three hours of searching, the Holyhead crew reached the stricken freighter, which was just eight miles (13km) from the Anglesey coast. The waves were 10m (35ft) high and the Nafsiporos was rolling and being lifted high in the sea, its huge propellers churning in the air above the heads of the lifeboat crew. Holyhead crewman Graham Drinkwater was just 19 at the time. ""I always remember the first moment we launched because that was my first time down the slipway,"" he said. ""Then the actual trip out from the lifeboat station to the area of the casualty was fantastic. Talk about a rollercoaster. I mean, you haven't seen anything 'til you've been out on that."" Mr Drinkwater, who went on to become lifeboat operations manager at Holyhead, added: ""I remember the first moment I saw the ship. It was so massive compared to our boat. I got a bit apprehensive at that moment. ""We missed the first time, went round again, had a massive collision with the side of the Nafsiporos and then we were alongside."" It was now gone 16:00 and the sun had set. One of the freighter's lifeboats had come loose and was swinging, making it difficult for her rescuers to get anywhere near her. The Greek crewmen on board had to climb down a ladder on the side of the ship, dodging the swinging pendulum of their own lifeboat, and then leap to the RNLI boat, which was also being lifted and dropped by the sea. Holyhead Second Coxswain William Jones said: ""The rise and fall between the ship and lifeboat was enormous. One moment we were looking up at her and the next we were in line with her deck, a matter of around 20 feet or more."" Five crewmen made it to safety, but then the Nafsiporos' lifeboat fell crashing on to the Holyhead boat, damaging it and forcing the crew to withdraw. The Moelfre lifeboat had already been out since 07:00, assisting two other vessels struggling in the storm. The crew had barely got back to the station when they were asked to launch again to go to the aid of the Nafisiporos. Coxswain Dic Evans, who died in 2001, managed to manoeuvre his lifeboat alongside the Nafsiporos. He pulled another 10 of the Nafsiporos' crew on to the lifeboat's deck, while four refused to abandon ship. Survivor John Patsoulas later remembered the Moelfre lifeboat crew standing in formation on the lifeboat's decks, linking their arms shoulder to shoulder, waiting to receive the sailors. He and the other men rescued recalled lifeboatman David Evans, Coxswain Evans' son, as a ""bear of a mana€| big, strong and powerful"", who grabbed the sailors and tossed them into the lifeboat ""like sacks of corn"". The Moelfre boat was badly damaged and without electrics and lighting, but set course for Holyhead to bring the 10 survivors to shore. By the time they arrived on land, Coxswain Evans, then aged 61, had been at an open wheel exposed to the hurricane conditions for nearly 13 hours without a break. The Holyhead crew paused only to have a cup of tea, then launched again to stand by the Nafsiporos through the night until a Dutch tug towed it, and its remaining crew, back to Liverpool the following morning. Despite the dangerous conditions and near-misses, there were no fatalities or casualties. Mr Harvey said: ""We were all exhausted after 22 hours at sea, and during the night following the rescue many thoughts and silent prayers occupied our minds. ""Once ashore, the rum came out. We were all proud and grateful men, speaking little and bound by the experience of such extreme lifeboat drama and action.""","As a storm raged , their engine failed , and they drifted dangerously towards the rocks of north Anglesey , the crew of the Nafsiporos Greek cargo ship were @placeholder hope of ever surviving .",denied,declared,losing,rendered,unleashed

+"Bangor University experts said the findings suggested Welsh speakers might be less inclined to discuss their health or they may have a better support network and seek help later. The study has been highlighted during Dementia Awareness Week. There are about 45,000 people living with dementia in Wales. Dementia studies lecturer Dr Catrin Hedd Jones told Newyddion 9 the reasons behind the difference in diagnosis time could be due to a range of factors, including a reluctance to speak up sooner. ""If you're from the area and you've got family you are going to be better supported,"" she said. Only English speakers moving to a new area might seek help earlier because they have less support, she added. Earlier diagnosis means treatment and care can begin sooner. The study focused on a small group of people with dementia in north Wales. Dementia is now the leading cause of death in England and Wales, with the Alzheimer's Society Cymru saying it costs Welsh society ?¡ê1.4bn a year.

Writing on the Heat Street news website, Mr Taylor, a former advisor to ex-Cabinet minister Lord Hain and police commissioner candidate, said two factors guaranteed the failure of Remain at the EU referendum. ""The first was complacent, narrow political thinking within Welsh Government; the second was a campaign dominated by a self-serving, ineffective 'Taffia' of old Welsh establishment figures,"" he said. Mr Taylor said the Welsh Government ""consistently failed to spend valuable pre-purdah time developing a strong, positive, comprehensive case for remaining in the EU."" ""The Welsh Government appeared to be in denial as polls continued to show that the Welsh were just as Eurosceptic as the English,"" he said. A bid to rebrand the assembly as the Welsh Parliament - tabled during the week of the referendum but later dropped - showed a sense of ""complacency"" and ""warped priorities"", Mr Taylor added. He accused Wales Stronger In Europe - an offshoot of the official Remain campaign Britain Stronger In Europe - of being ""insufferably smug"". Mr Taylor said the campaign's ""leading spokesmen (and they were all men), were creatures of the old Welsh establishment, the worst possible faces for such a campaign, with all the baggage of career politicians, but none of the their skill"". He added that politicians needed to recognise that voters in Wales supported Brexit.

+"Patrick ""Patsy"" Adams, 60, of Finsbury, north London, shot Paul Tiernan, 54, in the chest in December 2013.

Adams is the younger brother of Terry Adams, supposed head of the Clerkenwell crime syndicate. The family is known to some as the A-team. 'A-Team' exploits CCTV showed Patrick Adams walking towards a car in Clerkenwell and then fleeing the scene with his wife Constance just moments after a gun was fired. Mr Tiernan had originally held the gun, which Adams wrestled from him after ""fearing for his safety and that of his wife"", the court heard. James Scobie QC, defending, said the shooting was ""out of character"" and Adams accepted his actions were ""not reasonable"". Mr Tiernan was found lying in the road near his car by officers. It is thought he has made a full recovery but refused to co-operate with the police investigation. As a result, all charges against Constance were dropped and Adams admitted the lesser charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. He had previously been charged with attempted murder. Mr Scobie told the court the pair's relationship had deteriorated because it had been suggested Mr Tiernan was a police informant and was trying to ""ensnare"" Adams. He said his client had fled abroad because he was in ""fear of retribution"" and believed he would not get a fair trial.

+"A team of Brazilian paleontologists calculated the strength of a bite by the Purussaurus brasiliensis, a reptile that lived in the Late Miocene period. They said it could exert a pressure up to 11.5 tonnes. That is 20 times the strength of a white shark's bite. Tito Aureliano, one of the co-authors of the study, said the animal's head was better structured for biting than that of the T-Rex. The Purussaurus's stout and robust skull with conical teeth were made for gripping large prey. The findings by the team drawn from a number of research and academic institutions were published in the online Plos One journal. Purussaurus brasiliensis could reach a length of more than 12.5m (41ft), longer than a London bus, and was an unrivalled predator in its wetland habitat, the researchers said.

Mr Magee was found stabbed to death just outside the home of his girlfriend, Courtney Ward, in the Summerhill Park area of Twinbrook in May 2015.

He is said to have put a woman, identified only as AA, ""at risk of harm"" at a lodge in Muir of Ord. A conduct sub-committee hearing will be held next week. The charge before the SSSC states that, while working as a residential support worker for Nansen Highland, Mr Cunningham told AA to get into bed, before lying down beside her. He is then said to have cuddled, kissed and touched AA before asking her: ""Did you enjoy that?"" The charge alleges that ""in doing so you did engage in sexual behaviour with a service user and cause harm and/or risk of harm to AA"". A four-day hearing at the SSSC's headquarters in Dundee is scheduled to begin on 26 July.

Christie was hit over the head and Ansell received a blow to the eye as he wrestled back a stolen laptop. Both singers were treated at Heartlands Hospital but did not report the attack to police. Ansell and Christie were two of the original members of the group who rose to fame when they came second in the X Factor in 2004, losing to Steve Brookstein. On Twitter, Christie, 35, expressed his disbelief at the attack after the would-be thief ran off with his rucksack containing a laptop.

In its judgment, the panel found that the original ruling had placed too much weight on objections from supporters. Hull owner Assem Allam had said he would not continue to invest in the Premier League club if the change was rejected. The 75-year-old businessman, who took over City in 2010, believes switching to Hull Tigers will help the club's ""global"" appeal. Following the panel's ruling, Hull, who are 15th in the table, issued a statement, claiming victory after proving that ""the process adopted by the FA was unfair and biased"". It added: ""The ball is now in the FA's possession, with the club seeking clarification on how the FA will proceed in a fair and unbiased manner."" The tribunal was especially critical of Football Supporters' Federation chairman Malcolm Clarke, a member of the FA Council.

+"""I will be the nominee for my party,"" she told CNN in an interview. ""That is already done, in effect. There is no way that I won't be."" Mr Sanders has come under pressure to bow out since Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee. But the Vermont Senator has vowed to fight until the party convention. Mrs Clinton holds a commanding lead in the delegate count. Democratic leaders are concerned about party unity after a clash between officials and Sanders supporters at a party convention in Nevada over the weekend. Sanders supporters yelled at party officials and picked up chairs. The state's party chairwoman later received death threats. Hillary Clinton's insistence that the race for the Democratic nomination is effectively over is supported by delegate maths, but it will do little to quell the growing acrimony between her supporters and those of Bernie Sanders. The Vermont senator continues to insist that he has a narrow path to the nomination and will fight for every last delegate. Mrs Clinton has tried ignoring these claims. Now she's addressing them head-on, perhaps hoping it will allow her to shift focus onto Donald Trump. Over the coming weeks she will likely test out a variety of possible lines of attack against the Republican, including the charge that he is too risky to put in the Oval Office. This critique echoes concerns I encountered numerous time on the campaign trail among those who supported Mr Trump's Republican opponents. Mrs Clinton may be hoping that a campaign crafted around national security could win over independents and moderate Republicans who are uneasy with Mr Trump's brash style and foreign policy inexperience. It may be an effective strategy - but it's one made more difficult as long as Mr Sanders continues to act as a thorn in Mrs Clinton's left flank. Senator Minority Leader Harry Reid said Mr Sanders had not done enough to rein in his supporters. The Sanders campaign has sought to downplay the Nevada incident. Also in the interview, Mrs Clinton said Mr Trump, her likely general election opponent, is not qualified to be president. Her reasons included Mr Trump's plan to bar Muslims from travelling to the US, his call to step back from Nato and his negative comments about the UK government, which she called America's ""closest ally"".

Microsoft said the vulnerability in its code allowed attackers to ""install programs; view, change or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights"". ""This vulnerability is related to the Duqu malware,"" it said. Microsoft said the full update would not be ready this month, and did not provide a target release date. In the meantime it said that the workaround will cause some documents to ""fail to display properly"". The firm's security warning follows an investigation by the Laboratory of Cryptography and Systems Security (Crysys) at Budapest University. Earlier this week it revealed that the malware had been spread using a previously unknown vulnerability embedded in a Microsoft Word document. Internet security firm, Symantec, confirmed that Microsoft had identified the same bit of code.

""This takes what you type in and turns it into what comes up on the screen."" The security firm has confirmed Duqu infections at six different computer networks belonging to unidentified organisations across a total of eight countries. Microsoft's security report noted that the success of the attacks depended on users opening email attachments. ""We have taught people for years that clicking on executable files from unknown sources is not sensible, but clicking on a Word document is a normal business practice,"" Mr Day told the BBC. ""Since we think the Duqu attackers do reconnaissance beforehand they might have been able to exploit this to make people more likely to have opened the documents, either by having built up a relationship with them or having used an existing one to gain trust.""

+"Traders would pay a fee each time a transaction takes place. The party said it would replace the existing stamp duty on deals involving shares. A transaction tax could raise ?¡ê20bn a year for the Exchequer and help stabilise markets, the Green Party said. The idea of taxing financial transactions is not new. Sweden introduced a similar tax in the mid-1980s but subsequently abandoned the measure after many trading companies left the country. The European Commission tried to introduce a transaction tax in 2011 but failed in the face of opposition from several EU countries, including the UK. A smaller group of member states - including Germany, France, Spain and Italy - is trying to take the project forward among themselves but have not yet reached an agreement. A transaction tax could raise considerable amounts of money and some say it has the potential to make financial markets less volatile because, for example, it might deter high-volume, short-term, speculative trading. It's also been argued the City should pay more following its role in the financial crisis. Opponents say that the tax could threaten London's success as a financial hub, as companies would relocate elsewhere to avoid higher charges. And there are fears that any additional costs to financial companies would be passed onto consumers. There is also a view that any financial benefits would be dwarfed by the costs of a weaker economy that could result. When the measure was put forward at an EU level, the UK was part of a vanguard of countries to defeat the motion. Britain even took the European Commission to court to challenge the legality of such a tax, although it was unsuccessful. We have yet to see any detail about the Greens' proposed measure. While there are precedents that could help policymakers looking to develop a transaction tax, a UK government seeking to do so would face strong resistance.

+"A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck South Island last week, killing two people. Brian Tamaki, leader of the Destiny Church, posted a sermon on Facebook claiming such disasters were caused by sin, and referencing gay marriage. An online petition calling for the church to be classed as a hate group and lose its tax-free status has been signed by 100,000 people. The sermon was given at Mr Tamaki's church in Auckland on Sunday, before the quake. But it was later posted on Facebook and labelled as a ""prediction"" by the preacher. ""(The book of) Leviticus says that the earth convulses under the weight of certain human sin. That's natural disasters,"" he said in the video. He also spoke about the city of Christchurch, which suffered a devastating 2011 earthquake which killed 185 people, calling it ""everything but Christ's Church."" ""It had the highest murder rates, it was haven for those who were absolutely anti-Christ in every way.  It was the representative from that city that first put in motion gay marriage in this country,"" he said. The online petition to revoke the church's tax-free status will be delivered to Prime Minister John Key, who has already called the preacher's claim ""ridiculous"". ""New Zealand is a seismically prone country, with a number of very well identified fault lines,  It's nothing to do with people's sexuality,"" he told a radio programme. Mr Tamaki, however, has defended his comments. In a radio interview, he said his comments had been an unplanned, spontaneous message in the middle of a sermon. ""I had no idea what was going to happen a few hours later,"" he said. However, he said he held ""another perspective"" and wanted people to understand where he was coming from. The response was ""over-sensationalised"", Mr Tamaki said. He added that he was not specifically targeting gay people, but all types of ""sexual sins"". He also said he accepted that manmade factors influenced the environment, but there is also ""another connection to natural disasters"".

+"Sales growth in their home market slowed to a virtual trickle last year, at least when compared with the ballooning market a couple of years back, and it is set to remain relatively weak throughout 2012. So Chinese carmakers, which have long fought tough rivals from well-established non-Chinese manufacturers, are looking to diversify abroad. Many of the new Chinese cars displayed at Auto China 2012 are expected to be exported to Europe. Some Chinese carmakers have entered Europe, already, of course, mainly through acquisitions. Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) owns MG in the UK. Geely owns Volvo and has a stake in Manganese Bronze, the maker of London's black cabs. Others are even gearing up for direct investments in the mass-production of their own marques within the European Union. Great Wall Motors was the first to arrive with The Steed, a small pickup truck that will be produced in its recently opened factory in Bulgaria. Others are sure to follow as cash-rich Chinese companies target parts of the world where local investment has dried up because of the financial crisis. ""Just as the Japanese and Koreans did decades ago, Chinese carmakers are hoping to gain strong positions in the longer term in the Western European and US markets,"" observes the German magazine Der Spiegel. Great Wall's Bulgarian factory, in the village of Bahovitsa, near the town of Lovech, is not the first car plant in the area. Bulgarians used to assemble the infamous Soviet Moskvich here during communist times, and this was where Rover's plans to produce its old Maestro model flopped some 17 years ago. Great Wall's joint venture with Bulgaria's Litex Motors comes across as much more ambitious than either of those, however. Though initially no more than 120 people will work here, European Whole Vehicle Type Approval has already been granted for several models, and the plan is to expand the workforce to 2,000 people and produce 50,000 cars a year for the European market. ""Bulgaria is an excellent starting point for our entry into the European markets,"" Great Wall's president Wang Fengying said after opening the plant in February. ""In the next three to five years, we will have a great variety of car brands, which will be sold in all European countries,"" she said, according to an exuberant Bulgarian media. ""Bulgaria will flood the rest of Europe with cars made in Lovech,"" exclaimed the daily newspaper Standart, ""just as the Japanese and Koreans."" Others were more guarded, pointing out that Chinese cars have yet to establish a reputation of quality and reliability in Europe. Bulgaria might one day be remembered as ""the place where the Chinese car expansion into Europe started"", observed weekly magazine Kapital. ""The only question is, what cars will the plant produce, and who is going to buy them?"" Bulgarian-produced Chinese cars will go head-to-head with the Dacia brand, which is built at Pitesti in neighbouring Romania. The Pitesti plant, owned by the French carmaker Renault, produces affordable cars that also rely on an ""inexpensive but reliable"" marketing strategy. But Dacia and Renault are far from worried. According to the Romanian website Ziare, Great Wall's cars will be more expensive than Dacia's, as well as inferior because of the company's lack of experience. Great Wall's president acknowledges that the carmaker has much to learn. ""We realise that we have a long way to go to achieve some of the standards that German cars have,"" she told Bulgarian daily Dnevnik. ""But from a market point of view, we know that there are also people in Germany who would like to buy a quality car at a reasonable price. ""This is our chance to establish a presence in Germany."" Henry Li, general manager of BYD Auto's export division, agrees. ""In the short term, competition will be more fierce, especially when international brands are launching low-cost vehicles,"" he says. ""We try to create our own competitive edge. We are not only staying in a low segment, but are creating new technologies and improving quality."" Chinese ambitions in Europe are not limited to the motor industry, however. ""China is buying up Europe,"" the European Council on Foreign Relations notes in a current policy brief. ""Its automobile manufacturers have bought MG and Volvo. Its transportation firms are acquiring, leasing or managing harbours, airports, and logistical and assembly bases across the continent. Its development bank is financing projects in Europe's periphery, much like it does in Africa."" China has been actively seeking business opportunities in the Balkan region, ""especially in Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria"", according to Prague-based website Transitions Online.

+"Royal Mail predicts that on what it calls Take-back Tuesday there will be a rise of more than 50% in returns against December's daily average. Clothing and footwear are the most likely items to be returned. People are also expected to flock to shops at lunchtime to give back gifts, but may face issues getting a refund. Catherine Shuttleworth, from consumer analysts Savvy Marketing, told the BBC: ""The problem for many people will be that without a gift receipt they will not be able to get a return at the retail price at which an item was originally purchased. ""Prices have been slashed in the Boxing Day and January sales, and there is also likely to be very mixed stock available if shoppers are wanting to return and replace an item, as it is unlikely a product will be available on the shelf."" It is not only shoppers who could have problems - there are also issues for the companies themselves. ""It poses challenges for retailers in terms of additional staffing for returns and ensuring that returns policies are adhered to,"" Ms Shuttleworth said. ""This year, returns are complicated by the high level of discounting before Christmas when many gifts were purchased - so retailers have the challenge of managing their [profit] margin on returns. ""You can also expect to see long queues in retailers at exchange points, which are never a desirable position for the retailer or shopper.""

And in a separate survey of 1,505 online shoppers in the UK, 38% said that a free returns policy was likely to make them do more shopping in this way.

Some of the items, never published or exhibited before, are expected to go on display there next summer. The sketchbooks span his career from the mid 1940s until his death in 2011. ""This rare collection of Lucian Freud drawings and letters provides a fascinating glimpse into the work of one of our most pioneering artists,"" said Culture Minister Ed Vaizey. ""Bringing these never seen before treasures into public collections means that everyone can enjoy and see the early beginnings that shaped his most celebrated work.""

The National Portrait Gallery said the archive would ""give added context"" to the two works housed in the gallery's collection - a self-portrait in oils and a charcoal drawing of Lord Goodman from 1985. Several drawings in the sketchbooks show the beginnings of portraits, including Lord Goodman's, starting with the nose and eyes and developing outwards.

Mr Barnes, a pilot of 24 years, was under great commercial pressure to satisfy an important client that morning when he made the flawed decision to fly, which was ""neither safe nor appropriate"", the inquest heard. He had been flying from Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey to Elstree in Hertfordshire but was diverted to Battersea heliport. The jury accepted the Air Accident Investigation Branch's evidence that Mr Barnes experienced a ""loss of situational awareness"" because of poor visibility, causing the accident. RotorMotion, the firm he was flying for, is no longer trading. Coroner Andrew Harris addressed the relatives of Mr Barnes and Mr Wood at the inquest. He said nothing would reverse the ""tragic, sudden and completely unexpected"" loss of their loved ones, but added he hoped possible prevention of deaths in future would mean some good could come of the accident. Evidence from pilots, air traffic controllers and air crash investigators was included in the three-week inquest. According to witnesses, pilots had to deal with conflicting rules around flying in the fog. They were told to maintain a 500ft buffer zone from any structure, but flight paths, tall buildings and altitude restrictions often interfered, witnesses told the jury.

+"Normally used to paralyse or kill its prey, the venom also contains a compound that appears to act as long-lasting pain relief. In research on rats, the compound was still working three days later. The findings meant it may be possible to create a new pain therapy for patients who had run out of options, the researchers said. Most medicines for moderate to severe pain, called opioids, work by reducing the perception of pain. They do this by attaching to specific proteins in the brain and organs of the body, called opioid receptors. But the Rg1A compound found in the venom of a Conus regius snail, a native of the Caribbean, works in a different way using a new pathway. Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from the University of Utah said the compound appeared to have a beneficial effect on parts of the nervous system. And this could open the door to new opportunities to treat pain, they said. They said drugs that worked in this way could reduce the use of opioids, such as morphine, which are addictive and can cause a number of serious side-effects. J Michael McIntosh, professor of psychiatry at the University of Utah Health Sciences, said: ""What is particularly exciting about these results is the aspect of prevention. ""Once chronic pain has developed, it is difficult to treat,"" he said. ""This compound offers a potential new pathway to prevent pain from developing in the first place and offer a new therapy to patients who have run out of options."" In tests on rats, scientists found that those animals treated with a chemotherapy drug that caused them to be hypersensitive to cold and touch, experienced pain - but those also treated with the snail compound did not.

But experts urge caution, saying more work is needed to explore the link.

It's a neurological condition which affects around 100,000 people in the UK. C. perfringens, found in soil and contaminated undercooked meat, comes in different strains. Most cases of human infection occur as food poisoning - diarrhoea and stomach cramps that usually resolve within a day or so. More rarely, the bacterium can cause gas gangrene. And a particular strain of C. perfringens, Type B, which the Weill team says it identified in a human for the first time, makes a toxin that can travel through blood to the brain. In their lab studies on rodents the researchers found that the toxin, called epsilon, crossed the blood-brain barrier and killed myelin-producing cells - the typical damage seen in MS. Lead investigator Jennifer Linden said the findings are important because if it can be confirmed that epsilon toxin is a trigger of MS, a vaccine or antibody against the toxin might be able to halt or prevent this debilitating disease. She presented the group's latest findings at a meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. Dr Susan Kohlhaas, Head of Biomedical Research at the MS Society, said: ""Discovering potential causes or triggers for MS could enable us to develop better treatments or even, one day, prevent the condition. This is interesting research but the findings now need to be validated in larger studies to establish if this toxin really is a potential trigger for MS.""","A food poisoning bacterium may be @placeholder in MS , say US researchers .",detected,seen,implicated,developed,implemented

+"A federal judge certified the legal proceedings, Reuters reports, saying investors who claim they lost money could pursue their claims as groups. Facebook told the BBC that it was disappointed with the decision and it has launched an appeal against it. The firm's initial public offering (IPO) in May 2012 raised $16bn (?¡ê10bn). The investors say that by purchasing the firm's shares at inflated prices they lost money. That year, its shares began trading on 18 May in New York at $38 per share, but the price fell to almost half the amount of $17.55 on 4 September. The price stayed below the IPO price for more than a year, but shares ultimately rebounded and closed up at $107.26 on the Nasdaq index on Tuesday. District judge Robert Sweet gave the lawsuits class action certification on 11 December, but the order was made public on Tuesday, Reuters reports. Investors claim that Facebook omitted information about revised revenue projections and the impact that increased mobile usage, at a time when there was little advertising on mobile devices, would have on its revenues. But Mr Sweet said Facebook provided ""an impressive amount of evidence"" to indicate that shareholders knew how mobile usage would affect the firm's revenue. However, he rejected the tech giant's argument that shareholders should pursue their claims individually. In a 55-page decision, Mr. Sweet said that given the extraordinary size of the case, allowing two subclasses ""in fact adds more weight to the predominance of common questions and answers, practically negating the individualized questions raised"". Facebook told the BBC that it believes the class certification is ""without merit"". The tech giant also said the decision ""conflicts with well-settled Supreme Court and Second Circuit law"", and it has already filed an appeal seen by the BBC.

Hosts Swinbrook had posted 240 from their 45 overs in the Division Four encounter. With an over to go in Dorchester's reply, the visitors were on 206-7, with 54-year-old Steve McComb on strike against bowler Mihai Cucos. The over began with a no-ball which was dispatched for six. Ball two also went for six, effectively giving Dorchester 13 runs from one legitimate delivery. Cucos responded with a yorker, from which McComb was unable to score. Ball four (the third legitimate delivery) went for four and was then followed by another no-ball which also flew to the boundary for four. The next two balls were flayed for six, leaving the scores level with one delivery to come. Swinbrook brought the field in, but McComb advanced down the pitch to hit his fifth six of the over, winning the game and bringing up his own century. ""It was an amazing end to the game,"" said McComb, who has played for Dorchester for 20 years. ""240 is a tough target to chase in our league and we never looked ahead of the rate.

+"He made his comments during a meeting of the Fine Gael parliamentary party on Wednesday. Mr Kenny will travel to the US for the annual St Patrick's Day celebrations. He will continue the tradition of presenting the US president with a shamrock. There had been speculation he would face a motion of no confidence at the meeting but that did not happen. The speculation was that a no confidence vote would result from his handling of a police whistleblower controversy. The controversy began more than three years ago when two whistleblowers - Sgt Maurice McCabe and the now retired John Wilson - alleged there was widespread corruption with the Republic of Ireland's driving licence penalty points system. A public inquiry is to be held into whether Sgt McCabe was falsely smeared by senior officers in the An Garda S¨ªoch¨¢na (police). There will also be an independent review of police operations. Questions had been raised about Mr Kenny's future arising from his government's handling of the Gardai whistleblower affair last week. The Taoiseach had indicated that he would stand down as Fine Gael leader before the next general election but many in his party, were fearful last week that the country could face a general election because of the whistleblower affair with him still leader. Mr Kenny received a standing ovation at tonight's short meeting, and faced no questions from his TDs, Senators and MEPs after he outlined his decision. Last week, the Irish coalition government - which is made up of Fine Gael and the Independent Alliance - survived a vote of no confidence in the Irish parliament (D¨¢il). The government won the motion by 57 votes to 52 votes and there were 44 abstentions.

The Local Government Association (LGA) called the vote for strike action ""disappointing"" but said it would ""not change the pay offer we have made"". Members of other unions are currently voting on proposed strikes, with a day of action planned for 10 July. Unison said local government workers and school support staff - which include all school workers except teachers - had been subject to a three-year pay freeze and had now been offered a 1% pay rise. The union said almost 85,000 workers - mainly low-paid women - voted and more than 58% backed the strike. About 410,000 workers had the chance to vote.

Mr Prentis said Unison members ""expect to be joined"" by other unions in the strike on 10 July, adding: ""The employers must get back into talks immediately to avoid a damaging dispute."" Unison said pay freezes and below-inflation pay rises had reduced local government workers' pay by 20% since the coalition government came to power in 2010.

The geometric patterns he incorporates into his buildings resemble those found in Tiwanaku's structures, he says. It is a celebration of the traditional culture of the indigenous people of Bolivia. For a new class of rich Aymara indigenous people in El Alto, these mansions have become quite the status symbol. And they are willing to fork out anywhere between $150,000 (?¡ê100,000) to $300,000 for one of these glitzy buildings. There are penthouses on the upper floors and space for shops on the ground floor. And if you want to throw a party, there is a party hall in between, sometimes even two. And the owners of these colourful mansions can rake in a tidy sum by renting out these spaces. It is in the party room where many from the Aymara community celebrate weddings. Inside, the colours are just as intense as outside and the chandeliers dazzle. Mr Mamani's work has inspired many copycats. On a drive with him around El Alto, he pointed some of these copies out to me. Some of these other architects and builders used to work for him, says Mamani. What separates his work from theirs? According to Mr Mamani, a lot of works are similar but ""they don't have a language, you could say"".

+"People with AB blood, found in 4% of the population, appear more likely to develop thinking and memory problems than those with other blood groups. The study, published in Neurology, builds on previous research showing blood type may influence heart risk. A charity said the best way to keep the brain healthy was a balanced diet, regular exercise and not smoking. A US team led by Dr Mary Cushman, of the University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, analysed data from about 30,000 US citizens aged 45 and above. It identified 495 participants who had developed thinking and memory problems, or cognitive impairment, during the three-year study. They were compared to 587 people with no cognitive problems. People with AB blood type made up 6% of the group who developed cognitive impairment, which is higher than the 4% found in the general population. They were 82% more likely to have difficulties with day-to-day memory, language and attention, which can signal the onset of dementia. However, the study did not look at the risk of dementia. The study supported the idea that having a certain blood group, such as O, may give a lower risk for cardiovascular disease, which in turn protected the brain, the researchers said. ""Our study looks at blood type and risk of cognitive impairment, but several studies have shown that factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes increase the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia,"" said Dr Cushman. ""Blood type is also related to other vascular conditions like stroke, so the findings highlight the connections between vascular issues and brain health. More research is needed to confirm these results."" Commenting on the study, Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said the research did not look at risk of dementia, and it was too early to say whether AB blood group might be linked to a higher risk of the condition.

Watt was warned only exceptional circumstances could prevent a minimum sentence of five years. The court heard the guns were found in the former gun enthusiast's Corthan Crescent in September last year. Defence counsel Jonathan Crowe said that about 20 years ago a work colleague of Watt, who knew of his interest in guns, offered him two shotguns. He took them home to examine than and found the bag also contained the component parts for a sawn-off shotgun. Mr Crowe said Watt returned them to the colleague and said he did not want them - but the colleague also did not want them. The defence counsel said he knew he should have taken them to the police, but thought he might get himself or the colleague into trouble. He said Watt thought he would put them in the gun room in his cellar and ""forget about them"". He said they lay there gathering dust and added: ""There is no suggestion the guns were recently used or fired."" Mr Crowe said: ""He did not know that the court must consider sending him to jail for a minimum of five years."" The defence counsel said he intended to make a plea that exceptional circumstances existed in the case which could allow the minimum sentence to be avoided. He said the guns had been kept in relatively secure conditions and there was little chance of them ""falling into the wrong hands"". He told the court: ""There is no suggestion, other than the possession of the guns, that Mr Watt was in anyway involved in criminality.""

+"The Malian army has been advancing towards the last Tuareg-held town. Soldiers are accused of torturing Tuaregs, while the rebels are said to have rounded up and beating members of rival, darker-skinned groups. French-led forces this year ousted Islamist militants, allied to the Tuaregs, from most of northern Mali. The Tuaregs of northern Mali, who are mostly light-skinned, have a long history of seeking autonomy from the rest of the country, saying they have been discriminated against by the government in Bamako. BBC International Development Correspondent Mark Doyle says the struggle, by the mainly black-African army to re-take Kidal, held by the Tuaregs in the far north, has been key in reigniting racial tensions, along with plans to hold elections next month. The Human Rights Watch report said the Malian army seriously abused a number of ethnic Tuareg villagers, threatening to kill them, beating them and using racial slurs. It also said about 100 black Africans were arrested in Kidal, with many being robbed, beaten or expelled towards the south. Mali's Foreign Minister Tieman Coulibaly has condemned the Tuareg action. ""In Kidal, black people are openly attacked,"" he told The Associated Press. ""That is new.  Before, racism was latent, a bit creeping, but now it is unashamed."" The MNLA rebels have denied the charges. ""Civilians across the ethnic divide have already suffered enough,"" said Corinne Dufka from Human Rights Watch. ""The recent abuses by both sides and renewed fighting around Kidal underscores the urgent need for Malian soldiers and rebel combatants to respect the laws of war, minimise civilian harm and ensure the humane treatment of detainees,"" she said. The Islamist groups abandoned the towns they controlled ahead of the French-led advance, which began in January. But the MNLA, which is fighting for autonomy for northern Mali, has refused to leave Kidal, while the army has been reluctant to attack the town in the Sahara desert.

Those with a high genetic risk of Alzheimer's could be identified by their performance, according to German neuroscientists. The findings could help future research, diagnosis and treatment, they report in the journal Science. The scientists, led by Lukas Kunz of the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Bonn, say the high risk group navigated the maze differently and had reduced functioning of a type of brain cell involved in spatial navigation. The findings could give an insight into why people with dementia can find navigating the world around them challenging, they say.

A major rescue operation was launched but ended within hours of the crash. In addition to the Briton, 11 Norwegians and an Italian were on the flight. In 2012, EC225 Super Puma helicopters crashed in two incidents in Scotland - one off Aberdeen and another off Shetland - that were both blamed on gearbox problems. In both cases, all passengers and crew were rescued. EC225s in the UK were grounded following the crashes but given the go-ahead to resume flying in August 2013. Although that model was grounded, along with several others, later that same month after a Super Puma (AS332 L2) crashed off Shetland, killing four people. On Friday, the CAA announced a restriction on all EC225 commercial passenger flights, mirroring action taken by its Norwegian counterpart. The restriction does not apply to search and rescue flights, it said. BP and Statoil have also suspended the use of the aircraft model, so it is unable to carry oil and gas workers.

+"But depending on the outcome of the vote on 8 November, one of the two can expect to be thrust into a major financial role. Donald Trump has said that if he becomes president, he will hand control of his business empire to Ivanka and her brothers, Don and Eric. If Hillary Clinton wins the race for the White House, the intention is for her and husband Bill to step down from the board of the Clinton Foundation and for Chelsea, currently its vice-chair, to take over its day-to-day operations. Both candidates' plans have come under fierce scrutiny from critics, who say they involve big conflicts of interest. So what are the risks and why should they be allowed to get away with such arrangements? Well, first of all, there is absolutely no law that prevents them. Previous presidents, from Lyndon B Johnson on, have avoided any hint of impropriety by placing their business interests into what is known as a blind trust. This means that the president gives up the right to manage his (or her) money personally, handing the task over to independent trustees. In LBJ's case, he set one up in 1963, after assuming the presidency in the wake of John F Kennedy's assassination. He and his wife, Lady Bird, owned a TV station, KTBC, in Austin, Texas, and wanted to avoid regulatory problems without having to sell it. In 1978, the Ethics in Government Act formalised the rules on blind trusts, but left them entirely voluntary as far as presidents are concerned. Mr Trump has spoken about putting his holdings into a blind trust, but then said that his three oldest children would be in charge of the company, which would not pass the independence test. ""I don't know if it's a blind trust if Ivanka, Don and Eric run it,"" he said earlier this year. ""If that's a blind trust, I don't know. ""But I would probably have my children run it with my executives and I wouldn't ever be involved."" In any case, even if Mr Trump no longer controls those assets directly, he could hardly be expected to forget what they were, so he would remain vulnerable to allegations that his political decisions were designed to favour his business interests. The Clinton Foundation, which came into being in 2001, poses a different set of problems. Former US presidents tend to set up some kind of charitable centre on leaving office, usually with a presidential library attached, and Hillary's husband Bill was no exception. But, of course, there has never before been a presidential candidate married to an ex-president, so the foundation has turned into a headache for Hillary. Donors to the foundation have included a number of foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Algeria and Qatar, as well as various rich individuals and companies. Critics of the Clintons say these donations, many of them made while Hillary was Secretary of State, represent attempts to influence US policy. And for those opponents, if Hillary wins, putting Chelsea in charge would not be an acceptable solution, even though the foundation's president, Donna Shalala, has pledged that many of its programmes will be spun off as separate non-governmental organisations and foreign donations will no longer be accepted. And there is another big spanner in the works for both presidential candidates: the US constitution has a provision that could make life very difficult for either of them. The constitution's Emoluments Clause states: ""No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state."" It's easy to see what the point of that was. Having created a republic and enshrined the ideal of equality, the Founding Fathers wanted to prevent the US acquiring an aristocracy or being beholden to foreign powers that might undermine those ideals. But it also seems to say that no-one in senior public office should have any foreign income. Does that apply to the Clinton Foundation, with its record of foreign donors? And more directly, does that also apply to the Trump Organization, which has joint property ventures and licensing deals stretching from Panama City to Istanbul? In theory, yes. In practice, it probably depends on that little phrase, ""the consent of the Congress"". Any foreign deal or donation involving either of those bodies could easily spawn a Congressional investigation into a possible breach of the constitution. And once the juggernaut started to roll, it could lead all the way to impeachment. For either Chelsea or Ivanka, life is set to get a whole lot busier after 8 November. But unless their activities are genuinely outside parental control, Mrs Clinton or Mr Trump cannot be sure of escaping unscathed.

+"Interest rates have been at record lows for some time, with a typical savings account now paying a paltry 0.33% in interest, official figures show.

A secondary market allowing people to sell their existing annuity, or retirement income, for a lump sum is scheduled to start in April 2017 ""There are several risks we need to consider, for example, the risks of mis-selling and poor value for money for consumers, particularly those with small pension pots and the risk that our interventions undermine competition or stifle market development,"" the FCA said. The FCA's wide-ranging report, which outlines its priorities for the upcoming financial year, includes a string of warnings for individual savers, borrowers and investors. All this comes with the backdrop of a record low Bank rate. One debt group - the Money Charity - said it feared the low-interest rate environment meant that people were becoming unaccustomed to saving and vulnerable to financial shocks as they had no savings buffer. The FCA pointed out that financial innovation was offering new opportunities to personal investors, such as crowd-funding platforms, but that not all of these products were covered by the FCA's regulatory remit. ""While the proportion of the market accounted for by crowd funding platforms is relatively small, it may grow and become a more significant issue, highlighting the fact that innovation can drive competition and innovation, but may also come with new risks,"" the FCA said. The regulator also highlighted the continuing risk to financial services of cyber attacks - claiming that these attacks, which at times have interrupted day-to-day banking, were ""inevitable"". ""These attacks are inevitable but firms need to ensure that they have defences and plans in place to deal with them.

+"She was told by the captain of the Hanjin Geneva that its South Korean owners had gone bankrupt, so the ship was barred from international ports. The 25-year-old is taking part in an artist in residency programme, which was meant to be ""23 Days at Sea"". She and the 25 sailors on board were due to return to dock on 15 September, but for now there's no word on when they will get to go home. The Geneva is one of dozens of Hanjin vessels stranded around the world since the firm, South Korea's largest shipping company, filed for bankruptcy protection. Ports, fearing they will not get paid, are refusing to let Hanjin boats dock or unload. So far, Hanjin ships in the US have been granted protection, which will allow American-bound vessels to unload their cargo. But for the Geneva, it might be days or weeks of floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, near the coast of Japan, as it waits for a solution. Rebecca figured it would just be a hiccup when she first heard the news. She thought their ship would be redirected to a different port, or that a boat would be sent to fetch the passengers. That was 13 days ago. ""I have found the indefinite duration the most difficult aspect to deal with as an artist,"" she said.

The programme, which started last year, sends artists across the Pacific Ocean each year between Vancouver and Shanghai and is meant to spark their creativity. Its inaugural trip saw more than 800 responses for four vacancies. Rebecca was one of four artists selected this year. ""I was, and am, excited about the trip as it chimed with a lot of my interests as an artist,"" she said. She is currently an MA student at the Royal College of Art in London, specialising in absurdist film-making.

Toilet provision on long journeys, seating in stations, and punctuality were rated better than a year earlier. Hull Trains and the Heathrow Express scored joint first in the National Rail Passenger Survey - on 97%. Southern Rail, run by Govia Thameslink, had the worst customer satisfaction with 72%, but that is a 3% increase on 2016. The areas in which it scored higher marks for satisfaction were availability of seating, ticket buying facilities, and the choice of refreshments. But Transport Focus chief executive Anthony Smith said: ""These green shoots are fragile and need nurturing. ""This recovery will be under pressure from upgrade works, industrial relationship problems and rising passenger numbers. ""So the industry needs to keep a relentless, ongoing focus on performance and reliability."" Last year, an industrial dispute between unions and Southern over the company's plan to change the role of guards on driver-only trains resulted in the most extensive industrial action in the rail industry for 23 years, with 58,983 Southern services were affected. By Richard Westcott, transport correspondent With the news full of strikes and delays, why are passengers becoming happier with their trains? The most likely answer is a slow rise in punctuality across many services, apart from the biggest franchise which includes Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern. You may not have felt it on your packed morning commute, but after struggling with ever-later trains for several years, punctuality levels having been rising a little for many people - from a pretty low point, mind you. And being on time is the number one priority for most travellers whether it's trains, planes or automobiles. Despite terrible reliability, even Southern's satisfaction levels are recovering, probably because the strikes are having less impact since the drivers stopped their walkouts - although that may change shortly. Thameslink, Great Northern, Great Western Railway and Southeastern were also among the low-scoring firm for satisfaction ratings in the survey - although Southeastern's score was up 10% on a year ago. Mr Smith added that customer satisfaction in London and south-east England had increased from 79% to 82%. He said: ""The figures for Southern in particular show a significant recovery in passengers' experience with a number of factors including the helpfulness and availability of on board staff and also of staff at the station.""","More rail passengers across Britain are satisfied with their train services than last year , according to the industry 's @placeholder watchdog .",preliminary,independent,major,worst,parliamentary
+"This week, a security report said the IRA's ruling army council still existed and has influence over Sinn F¨¦in. DUP ministers who resigned last month returned to the Northern Ireland Executive after the report's release. Mr Nesbitt said the report's findings vindicated his party's decision to pull out of the executive in August. He will address his party's annual conference at a hotel on the outskirts of Belfast later. Speaking at the conference on Saturday, former UUP leader Sir Reg Empey said that after the report on paramilitary activity stated that PIRA members believe that the provisional army council exists and oversees both PIRA and Sinn F¨¦in with an overarching strategy ""[First Minister] Peter [Robinson] goes back to business as usual sending the clear signal to Sinn F¨¦in that they can get away with it again. How awful"". He also said Sinn F¨¦in's denials about the IRA were ""sapping credibility out of politics and must be reversed if we are to create effective and acceptable devolution at Stormont"". Sir Reg added: ""It is true that Stormont has taken some good decisions, but conference, the present administration is the worst so far and is failing on nearly all fronts. This cannot be as good as it gets."" The Ulster Unionists withdrew from government during the current political crisis at Stormont after allegations that IRA members had been involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr, one of its former members, in August. Party leader Mr Nesbitt said he ""never set out to be the avenger of David Trimble"", his predecessor, who was the first person to hold the position of first minister in Northern Ireland. But he added that if Mr Trimble had been avenged, ""maybe that's no bad thing"". Mr Trimble faced criticism from the DUP over sharing power with republicans. When the DUP agreed to the restoration of devolution in 2007, it insisted Sinn F¨¦in should accept the police and the IRA should completely decommission its weapons. But the findings of an assessment of paramilitary activity in Northern Ireland earlier this week indicated that the IRA still has access to weapons, although its focus is wholly political. Mr Nesbitt said he had ""set out to do the right thing"" by removing the UUP from the executive, and the report had shown his decision was justified. ""I took a principled stand, I took an unambiguous stand that everybody understands, but having said all that, has David Trimble been avenged?

Substitute Kenneth Zahore struck the crossbar late in the game for the Bluebirds, who have not lost to Burnley in nine years. The Clarets extended their unbeaten run to 17 games but second-placed Middlesbrough are only a point behind them after a 3-0 win over Huddersfield.

Burnley grew into the game with David Jones forcing a save from Marshall while Boyd was denied by Sean Morrison's well executed last-gasp tackle. Top scorer Gray had Burnley's best chance of the half when his first-time shot was smartly saved by Marshall, who also denied Boyd before the break. Cardiff continued to frustrate Burnley after the interval with Wales striker Vokes heading over the bar from Joey Barton's cross.

+"Lami, Maria and Hajara were at school in Chibok, north-eastern Nigeria, when they were kidnapped in April. Best friends Lami and Maria escaped by jumping from the back of a truck. Hajara was taken to a camp but later fled with another girl. To protect the girls' identity we have portrayed their story as an animation, and provided an edited transcript of their account below. The girls' names have been changed for their protection. Animation by Luis Ruibal. The BBC's 100 Women season runs online, on BBC World News TV and on BBC World Service radio from 27-29 October. Lami: It was Monday night. We had exams the following day. Then we started to hear shootings in the town. So we went out. We phoned our parents to tell them what was happening in the town. They told us to run away when we got the chance. We told them that the town was already surrounded so there was no way we could run. Maria: Lami woke me up saying: ""Maria didn't you hear what's happening? Haven't you heard sounds of shooting from the town?"" I said we should climb the wall and run away. She said: ""No. No-one has run away. We should gather in one place and wait to see what's going to happen."" Other girls said nothing would happen to us. ""We're girls. They don't do anything to girls. We should wait and see what God would do."" Lami: We were at the school when suddenly three Boko Haram members entered. They said: ""If any of you attempt to leave we'll kill all of you."" When we went out they were everywhere. They gathered us where we have our school assembly. As we were there they kept burning the school. They burnt everything. Hajara: They asked us to get out of the gate, saying that when we were out they would let us go back to our homes. They said whoever did not have a headscarf or shoes should go and get them. They then asked us to climb on to a lorry, on top of the food loaded in it. The lorry was so high that we couldn't easily climb on. Maria: They said to us: ""You're only coming to school for prostitution. Boko (Western education) is haram (forbidden) so what are you doing in school?"" We kept quiet. I think there could have been about 100 Boko Haram members - they were all over the school. They outnumbered us. They took us away in their vehicles. We were sitting on oil drums in the vehicle. Our vehicle was really overloaded. We were saying to one another that we should throw away our shoes and scarves so that if our parents came they would know the road we had taken. Hajara: The vehicle became full before I could get on. There were about 100 of us walking. We stopped at one town and people brought us water. I saw one of those who brought us water changed his clothes and joined the Boko Haram men. They then put us in other vehicles. They put the rest in the boots of cars. Some of the Boko Haram members were so small that if I were to grab their necks I could break them. Some couldn't even carry their guns properly. Maria: We were wondering where we were being taken to. When we entered the vehicle, Lami said to me: ""Shouldn't we jump out of the vehicle here so that we may possibly escape? There are no other vehicles close by."" Hajara: I thought, it's preferable to have these people shoot me as I run than have them humiliate me. They kept saying to us: ""Make sure you put on your scarves. Make sure you put on your scarves. We'll shoot any girl we see without a scarf. And any girl who jumps out will die."" I was about to jump out when one girl held me back and said they'd shoot me if I did. ""What's the difference,"" I said. ""Is it not to the same death we're going? They should shoot me here and let my corpse be collected."" I was crying and praying until we reached the camp. Lami: There was a lot of dust on the road, they couldn't see us. When we jumped out, we started to run. We were running without shoes. We found other people. We started to run away from them thinking they were Boko Haram. But they too had run from the town. Hajara: Boko Haram gathered us in a forest around noon. Some of the girls were tired and were lying down. But I couldn't lie down. The spirit of God was asking me to go. It was telling me: ""Get up and go. Get up and go."" So I went. Another girl followed me. When we were going I saw some of them [Boko Haram members] performing ablutions. We stooped as if we were trying to pull out thorns from our shoes, as if we were just going to wee. We'd walk a little then bend down for a little while as if we were looking for something we'd lost. After walking for a while they couldn't see us properly since it was forest. We then started to run. After we had run for a short distance, we heard them saying ""catch those girls."" We kept running. Whether they came after us not, we didn't know. Hajara: We kept going and our shoes were ripped. We found a house, where a girl could speak Hausa. Her parents gave us a place to sleep. We reached the Chibok area in the morning. A man looking for a relative among the missing girls drove us on motorbike into town. When I saw my elder and younger brothers, I fell to the ground crying. My mother and father were crying and all members of my family cried. Before I reached home it was as if there was a death in the house. Mats were spread. People were consoling my father and mother thinking that I had died. Who are Boko Haram? Profile: Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau Will 'truce' with Boko Haram free Chibok girls? Lami: The people we met said: ""Your town is far away. You can't go there now. Come here and wait until morning when we'll take you into the town to get transport back home."" We stayed there till morning when they asked us to get up so that we go to the town. We couldn't walk. Our feet were full of thorns. They said: ""Let's go find a vehicle to take you home."" Maria: The men who helped us took us to Chibok, and I cried. It was the second time that something like that had happened to me. My dad was a pastor; Boko Haram went to our house and killed him. They also shot my mum in the stomach; they gave her 2,000 Naira ($12) to have the bullet. Full coverage: 100 Women Lami: My parents warmed up water and cared for my feet. I was taken to the hospital and it was two weeks before I could stand up. Maria: I continued to live with the thought that Boko Haram members were coming to get me. I couldn't sleep. Hajara: I was having nightmares every day. There was even a day when I dreamed that they gathered all of us who fled in one place, and said to us: ""You girls have defied us and fled. We're now going to burn you alive."" I haven't forgotten about the other girls who are still in the hands of those people. I keep praying for them. Lami: God will never make us meet these people again. And for our sisters who are still in the forest, may God help them. And may the whole world cry out for these girls to get out so that we continue with our education in school again. Maria: They should pray to God to forgive them their sins. I'd also ask them to bring back the girls they have kidnapped because their parents are in distress. Some of the parents of the girls have already died. It was the thought of their girls that killed them. Hajara: God will do what he wills, but I don't want to look at them because of what they have done to my life. They think they've ruined me, but God willing, they haven't ruined me. I'll continue with my education.","For six months the world has waited for news of the fate of more than 200 girls abducted by Nigerian militant group Boko Haram .

Entering into the spirit of the occasion, I wore my shirt open to the waist and put on a gold medallion. When we arrived at the club, we discovered that we were the only two in our party of 20-odd who had raided the dressing-up box. But there was another, bigger surprise waiting for us at the Marquee. The bouncers insisted on us paying double the normal entry fee and I remember complaining bitterly that we'd each have to pay a tenner. As it turned out, that tenner was not the cost of dancing to old Marc Bolan tracks but the cost of attending Prince's after-show party. At around midnight, the naff 70s DJ was kicked off stage and Prince's road crew took over. For well over an hour they fiddled and faffed. Girls started to complain about their heels hurting. Boys talked of going for a few beers. I said that this was all a bit awkward as I had an early morning start at a party conference in Brighton. Prince - he'd just changed his name back to Prince - was in no rush. When he finally walked on stage in the early hours of the morning I remember thinking not just how small he was but how bizarre he looked in his Cuban heels and shades. Then he picked up his guitar and played, and all such thoughts disappeared. It was sublime. I was, as is no doubt obvious by now, no Prince fan, but boy this guy could play. And play he did - Automatic, Sign of the Times, Sexy Dancers and many more. He played not just his guitar but the sax and the keyboards and, it seemed, every instrument on stage. Those of us who were there that night - 20 or so of my friends and perhaps 300 people in total - looked at each other, grinned and nodded as if to say ""Can you believe this?

+"The prince walked into a sexual health clinic in Burrell Street, central London, to have the finger-prick test - for which he tested negative. The 31-year-old has made raising awareness about HIV and Aids a major element of his public work. There are more than 100,000 people living with HIV in the UK. The prince had to wait only a few moments to get his results, while his blood sample was mixed with chemicals and poured into a test tray. The negative result was indicated by a blue spot seen in the tray. However, if two spots had appeared he would have needed further tests to confirm if he was HIV-positive. The procedure was carried out by Robert Palmer, a lead health adviser and psychosexual counsellor, who said the prince was ""anxious"". Asked about the significance of a member of the Royal Family getting tested for HIV, Mr Palmer added: ""It means this is a test for everybody - it doesn't matter who you are, it's a good idea to have an HIV test."" The average HIV prevalence in the UK - for those aged over 15 years old - is 1.9 per 1,000 population. However for gay men the rate jumps to 48.7 per 1,000. Black African women are the second most at-risk group with a prevalence rate of 43.7 per 1,000.

+"The replica of the historic facade will include statues of Scottish heroes Robert the Bruce and William Wallace. It will be shipped in pieces to Melbourne's Etihad stadium, next February. Performers will enter the stadium by crossing the drawbridge, just as they do in Edinburgh. ""When people see it, they will be absolutely astounded,"" said Brigadier David Allfrey, the Tattoo's chief executive and producer. Speaking at a news conference in Melbourne, Brig Allfrey said the 12-13 February tour will be only the fourth time the Tattoo has travelled away from home in its 66-year history. Shipping over and assembling the replica of the historic fortress, which has dominated Edinburgh's skyline for centuries, is ""a huge job"", he said. It will be so authentic that ""people will be able to go up and touch it and wonder if it's made of stone"". Its size is matched by the logistics of bringing together more than 1,200 performers from military bands from around the world. The final line-up is still ""under wraps"" but it will include bands from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, and will also travel to New Zealand. Front of stage will be the traditional Scottish favourites including Britain's best precision drill teams, pipers, fiddlers and highland dancers. Brigadier Allfrey would not reveal how many planeloads or tonnes of equipment would be part of the tour, but joked that ""the uniforms alone are well over the luggage allowance of any normal airline."" There will be no horses or jeeps, which have featured in previous Tattoos. With its blend of military pomp, music and entertainment, the Tattoo plays to 220,000 people each year in Edinburgh and attracts an annual television audience of 100 million. Its last 16 seasons in Edinburgh have sold out, with 111,000 tickets sold for the coming 2015 performance in just nine hours last year. Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said the Tattoo was ""one of the great stirring, visceral events of the world"" and expected the 30,000-seat stadium to sell out. The Tattoo has only left Scotland three times before, always for Australia and New Zealand: to Wellington in 2000 and Sydney in 2005 and 2010. Brig Allfrey said he hoped that mastery of the logistics for this latest tour would open up audiences beyond Australia and New Zealand.

+"The yield on the Spanish 10-year bond earlier dropped to 5.54%, the lowest since April. In July, the bonds surged to more than 7% - levels that had prompted bailouts for Greece, Portugal and Ireland. Spain's situation continues to worry investors, with many of its regions asking for aid. The nation's stock market gained, up 1.9%, while other European stock indexes showed smaller gains. Meanwhile, Germany - Europe's largest economy - upgraded its growth forecasts for 2012 to 0.8% from 0.7%, but cut its prediction for next year from 1.6% to 1%. And French President Francois Hollande told newspapers that an end to the crisis in the eurozone was ""very close"". The ratings agency Moody's also announced it would leave Spain's sovereign credit rating at just one notch above so-called junk status, with a negative outlook. Some had feared it would be downgraded to the status that suggested it was likely to default on its debt. In September, Spain's central bank said the value of bad debts held by Spain's banks in July rose to 169.3bn euros ($221bn; ?¡ê136bn). It was the highest bad loan ratio since the central bank began compiling the data in 1962. These are the debts - mortgages and loans to property developers - that got Spain into so much trouble in the years before the 2008 crisis. With banks going bust under their bad debts, Madrid is being left to cover the cost of propping up the banks. Spain has already been granted a loan package of 100bn euros by Europe's bailout fund for use by its banks. But almost a quarter of Spaniards are now out of work and many analysts believe Spain is inching closer towards seeking a full financial bailout.

+"He was found to have violated a judge's 2001 order that he cease detaining migrants who are not suspected of having committed a state crime. Judge Susan Bolton determined that by detaining those living in the US illegally, Mr Arpaio was acting as a de facto wing of the federal government. He faces up to six months in prison. However, lawyers say it is unlikely that he will ever serve time behind bars. Mr Arpaio, 85, had boasted of being ""America's toughest sheriff"" during his time as the elected lawman of Maricopa County, which includes the city of Phoenix. He rose to national prominence due to his tough stance against illegal immigration. However, a judge reminded him during his trial that only federal officers have jurisdiction over immigration. He had claimed that the judge's injunction in 2011, which he was found to have violated, was vague and unclearly worded. But a judge found on Monday that Mr Arpaio had understood the temporary injunction, which was later made permanent, and had deliberately violated it to score political points ahead of his re-election campaign in 2012. He was known during his tenure as sheriff for sweeps of undocumented immigrants in Hispanic communities, and for detaining Spanish-speakers under suspicion of being undocumented migrants. He also famously required his inmates to wear pink underpants and socks. Mr Arpaio, in a statement, insisted that the judge who issued the ruling was biased, and said he would appeal to have a jury hear his case.

+"They have published a report saying the results of the IGCSE in English language were flawed and pupils received unfair grades. The exam board, Cambridge International Exams, said it was ""confident"" in the accuracy of the results. Exam regulator Ofqual said the exam results were reliable and pupils had received ""appropriate"" grades. The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC) and Girls' School Association said an ""unprecedented number"" of schools had come forward with concerns about the results. The report said the exam results ""cannot be trusted"" and there had been a ""large-scale award of false grades"" for the IGCSE English language paper taken by pupils in May 2015. The independent schools' groups said there had been problems with the grade boundaries and the results had been ""exceptionally out of line"" with expectations, with pupils forecast to get top grades receiving U grades. Leicester Grammar School headmaster Chris King, who chairs the HMC, said they were publishing the report after months of ""fruitless formal appeals"". ""Yet again, schools have known that students have been graded unfairly but have been unable to gain justice for pupils under the current system,"" he said. But the claims about the IGCSE were strongly rejected by the exam board. Roderic Gillespie, director of assessment at Cambridge International Examinations, said the independent schools' report was ""flawed"" and had been based on a ""small sample of self-selecting schools unhappy with their results"". ""There is no evidence in the report to justify re-grading the exam papers,"" he said. Ofqual said it had checked the schools' claims but remained unconvinced by the evidence. ""It is unreasonable for any study to make assertions about an entire cohort of students based on the results of an unrepresentative sub-set of schools,"" said an Ofqual spokesman. The exam watchdog said it was ""satisfied that the grade boundaries were suitable"". Last year saw a record number of grades being changed after pupils appealed against results.

Until now, the census figures dated back to a West German one conducted in 1987, and a 1981 one in the former communist East Germany. The data reveals that the number of foreign passport-holders resident in Germany had been overestimated. The total number of foreigners is 6.2 million - 1.1 million fewer than had been assumed. They make up 7.7% of the total population. The number of residents from a non-German background is 15 million - about 19% of the total. Hamburg has the highest proportion of ethnically non-German residents, at 27.5%. The figure for the capital, Berlin, is 23.9%. And in all the states of former East Germany the figure is less than 5%. The census also revealed that 66.8% of respondents consider themselves Christian, and 10.5% atheists. In eastern Germany, non-believers account for about 33% - far higher than the 6% figure for western Germany. Only 1.9% of respondents said they were Muslim. Statisticians believe many Muslims used their legal right not to state their religion in the survey, according to the news website, Der Spiegel. On home ownership, the census put the national figure at 45.8%, with Berlin right at the bottom. Only 15.6% of people in the capital are homeowners.

It is a well-worn message for Mr Trudeau, but one he is keen to promote before North American Free Trade Agreement talks launch.

The musical production is based on the true story of how the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, welcomed some 7,000 air travellers stranded in the days after the 9/11 terror attacks when the US closed its airspace. It recently opened in New York City after a successful run in Canada, and its heart-warming storyline was the perfect medium to help transmit Mr Trudeau's message of the importance of the longstanding ties between the two countries. In remarks before the show, Mr Trudeau said: ""We have a friendship between our two countries that are like no other"". His press secretary said on Thursday that ""we embrace the opportunity to highlight how we are there for each other in times of need"".

But this changed in March when he and the seven other suspects were arrested as a result of co-operation between the war crimes court in Belgrade and its counterpart in Sarajevo, our correspondent adds. Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic said the charges were a ""message that there will be no impunity for war crimes and that the victims will not be forgotten"". The eight men could face a maximum sentence of 20 years if found guilty. Fourteen people have been convicted at the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague in relation to the Srebrenica killings. Former Bosnian Serb army chief Ratko Mladic and former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic are both on trial at The Hague, accused of crimes relating to the massacre. The ICTY and the International Court of Justice have called the events genocide. The Srebrenica massacre came amid the bloody break-up of Yugoslavia into independent states in the 1990s. Serbia backed Bosnian Serb forces fighting the Muslim-led Bosnian government during the conflict. In July 1995, in what was supposed to have been a UN safe haven, Bosnian Serb forces took control of Srebrenica. They rounded up and killed about 8,000 men and boys and buried them in mass graves.","War crimes prosecutors in Serbia have charged eight people over the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia , Europe 's @placeholder atrocity since World War Two .",worst,first,most,renewed,famous

Performers will enter the stadium by crossing the drawbridge, just as they do in Edinburgh. ""When people see it, they will be absolutely astounded,"" said Brigadier David Allfrey, the Tattoo's chief executive and producer. Speaking at a news conference in Melbourne, Brig Allfrey said the 12-13 February tour will be only the fourth time the Tattoo has travelled away from home in its 66-year history. Shipping over and assembling the replica of the historic fortress, which has dominated Edinburgh's skyline for centuries, is ""a huge job"", he said. It will be so authentic that ""people will be able to go up and touch it and wonder if it's made of stone"". Its size is matched by the logistics of bringing together more than 1,200 performers from military bands from around the world. The final line-up is still ""under wraps"" but it will include bands from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, and will also travel to New Zealand. Front of stage will be the traditional Scottish favourites including Britain's best precision drill teams, pipers, fiddlers and highland dancers. Brigadier Allfrey would not reveal how many planeloads or tonnes of equipment would be part of the tour, but joked that ""the uniforms alone are well over the luggage allowance of any normal airline."" There will be no horses or jeeps, which have featured in previous Tattoos. With its blend of military pomp, music and entertainment, the Tattoo plays to 220,000 people each year in Edinburgh and attracts an annual television audience of 100 million.

+"But the benefits of knitting for some people stretch far beyond the warmth of a woolly jumper. Knitting, embroidery and crocheting are the arts activities which most people in Northern Ireland actually participate in, according to the annual arts report published by the Department of Communities. For Martin, it helped him to battle depression. ""People with depression, they sit in the house and can start thinking stupid things,"" he said. ""But if you're sitting knitting or crocheting, you're not thinking about the things which are getting you down. ""Somebody wants me to make them something, and while you're doing that it's making you feel better."" Martin attends the 'Knit and Natter' group at Belfast's Ormeau Road library, which meets every Thursday morning. Group members have a cup of tea, chat, and knit like fury. It is one of almost 80 'Knit and Natter' groups that meet weekly in libraries across Northern Ireland. When I called in, members were busy knitting a variety of socks, hats, coats and jumpers. But helping Martin recover from depression is not the only way the knitters contribute. Some are also knitting prosthetics for breast cancer survivors. Mary Field from the 'Knitted Knockers NI' charity was one of those busy with the needles. ""We supply these free to breast clinics,"" she said. The padded knitwear can be tucked into any bra and is an alternative to silicon for women who have had a mastectomy. ""Silicone can be unpopular because it gets hot and sticky, and we've had very good feedback about the knitted version,"" said Mary. ""We've already completed about 100 orders and we only started in July. ""The group has been great, and it's very good to know that while you're knitting and nattering you're also helping someone.""

A trip to the cinema, going to a museum, the theatre or a gig are the most popular.

+"It used data on bird strikes to get a sense of what would happen if a small drone collided with a plane. Only 3% of collisions between aircraft and birds similar in weight to domestic drones result in damage, found the George Mason University researchers. An even smaller number caused injuries to humans, it found, and many of these were caused by flocks of birds. The research project was prompted by the recent introduction of rules in the US that make owners of drones weighing more than 250g register their craft with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). ""Contrary to sensational media headlines, the skies are crowded not by drones, but by fowl,"" wrote Eli Dourado and Samuel Hammond in an article summarising their research. US airspace is home to about 10 billion birds, said the researchers, but collisions between fowl and aircraft have remained rare. The pair analysed 25 years of data gathered by the FAA on bird strikes to determine what damage a drone might do. Of the 160,000 bird strikes recorded since 1990, 14,314 caused damage, revealed the analysis. About 80% of the damage was done by birds such as turkey vultures and geese, which significantly outweigh domestic drones. About 97% of the strikes that involved small birds did no damage to the aircraft they hit, said the researchers. ""Given the voluntary nature of strike reporting, the true percentage of strikes causing damage is probably much lower, as strikes that do not cause damage can be either missed or under-reported,"" they wrote. The researchers did point out that because birds and drones are made of different materials, more damage might occur if a drone hits a plane. It urged the FAA to carry out research to determine the likely damage. While there have been wildlife strikes that did cause fatalities, none involved a bird that was similar in size to a domestic drone, they said. If drones collided with planes in the same proportion as birds do - roughly one bird in one million - then it could be a long time before any drone-aircraft impact does damage, they said. ""One damaging incident will occur no more than every 1.87 million years of 2kg [drone] flight time,"" said the researchers. Fatal incidents will be even rarer.

Brown had already said on Wednesday that he had ""serious concerns"" about Honda's ability to succeed in F1 and that the company appeared ""lost"" when it came to solving its problems with performance and reliability. The team have scored no points this season and McLaren cars have finished only four times in 12 races. Honda F1 boss Yusuke Hasegawa said: ""It is very difficult. It is very unfortunate we cannot convince them we can do that. From the results point of view, we demand much improvement. We need to do everything."" He added: ""It is obviously a frustrating current situation and we are disappointed with our results so it is no wonder there is some complaining comments.

Brawn added: ""We value Honda as part of the sport and if we can do anything to support their efforts to improve for the future we will do that."" Asked about Brawn's comments, Hasegawa said: ""I appreciate his comments and I will ask him if we need his support."" There is growing speculation that McLaren and Honda are nearing the point where their partnership will become untenable. The pair have a long-term contract but Brown has shifted from McLaren's previous position of being ""100% committed"" to the partnership.

""We need to get competitive and show regular signs that we are getting competitive. ""Right now, we're not racing well, not finishing races and that can't happen any more. ""We are starting to work on the 2018 car so we need to make any decisions that impact 2018 by the summer break. Something needs to change. If you keep doing the same thing, you are going to get the same result. Maybe take some risks, do things they wouldn't normally do. Can't keep doing the same thing and expect things to change."" He added: ""We have a plan B, a Plan C. We have some plans."" At least one of those options is an approach to Mercedes to use their engines on a customer basis next year. McLaren-Honda's lack of performance is threatening their hopes of persuading two-time champion Fernando Alonso to stay with them next year. Brawn ruled out the F1 Group playing any role in trying to find the Spaniard a competitive car in 2018, as former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has been known to do with drivers in the past. Alonso said on Thursday that he would stay at McLaren if they were winning by September but that if they were not ""maybe it was time for a change of project"". Brown said: ""We want Fernando Alonso to stay. If we are not fortunate enough to keep him then we will find someone else. ""We have a lot of races between now and September so we will just focus on getting back up the field. That's what he wants and we want."" Brawn's partner on the commercial side of the F1 Group, Sean Bratches, said he was confident of securing the future of the British Grand Prix despite the threat hanging over the race.

Manufacturer Genesis Toys has not yet commented on the German warning. The Vivid Toy group, which distributes My Friend Cayla, has previously said that examples of hacking were isolated and carried out by specialists. However, it said the company would take the information on board as it was able to upgrade the app used with the doll. But experts have warned that the problem has not been fixed. The Cayla doll can respond to a user's question by accessing the internet. For example, if a child asks the doll ""what is a little horse called?"" the doll can reply ""it's called a foal"". A vulnerability in Cayla's software was first revealed in January 2015. Complaints have been filed by US and EU consumer groups. In addition to the data protection concerns, a hack allowing strangers to speak directly to children via the My Friend Cayla doll has been shown to be possible. Under German law, it is illegal to sell or possess a banned surveillance device. A breach of that law can result in a jail term of up to two years, according to German media reports. The warning by Germany's Federal Network Agency came after student Stefan Hessel, from the University of Saarland, raised legal concerns about My Friend Cayla. Mr Hessel, quoted by the German website Netzpolitik.org, said a bluetooth-enabled device could connect to Cayla's speaker and microphone system within a radius of 10m (33ft). He said an eavesdropper could even spy on someone playing with the doll ""through several walls"". A spokesman for the federal agency told Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily that Cayla amounted to a ""concealed transmitting device"", illegal under an article in German telecoms law (in German). ""It doesn't matter what that object is - it could be an ashtray or fire alarm,"" he explained. Germany has strict privacy laws to protect against surveillance.

+"The Public Accounts Committee came to the conclusion after looking at how well the NHS was doing at helping patients manage their condition. Previous reports have criticised the lack of checks being carried out, such as blood pressure, eye and foot exams. But the government said services were better than they were being portrayed. The report by the cross-party group comes after the National Audit Office and Diabetes UK both published critical studies on diabetes care this year. They both flagged up statistics showing less than half of people with diabetes get all the nine basic tests they should. Without effective care, patients can develop a range of complications, including blindness and kidney disease. If everyone got the right care, it is estimated 24,000 lives could be saved each year. The report said despite the clear consensus over what diabetes patients needed, performance had been ""depressingly poor"". Committee chairwoman, Margaret Hodge, said: ""There is no strong leadership and no effective accountability. ""Variation in the level of progress across the NHS also means that there is an unacceptable 'postcode lottery' of care."" Barbara Young, chief executive of Diabetes UK, said: ""Given all the increasingly strong evidence of inadequate care, we simply cannot understand why the NHS has sleep walked into this situation."" But a Department of Health spokesman said: ""We do not accept the conclusion that services are 'depressingly poor' as there has been progress - an extra 750,000 people got all nine diabetes checks over the last four years. ""But we know there has been unacceptable variation and we are determined to put that right."" He said the new arrangements for the NHS, which will kick in next year, would help as giving GPs control of the budget would lead to much better integration of services and so ensure the right checks for conditions such as diabetes were carried out.","The standard of care for diabetes in England is "" depressingly poor "" , causing unnecessary deaths and disabilities , a @placeholder committee says .",partial,parliamentary,national,popular,scientific
+"Only a detailed investigation can uncover what vital clues may have been missed as to the extremist leanings and murderous intentions of the killers. These are some of the questions that need answers. What happened to the tracking of the killers by the police and security agencies? Two were known to the authorities. It is also believed that there were links with extremists in the UK and Yemen. It is reported that the police decided to stop tracking them six months earlier. What were the reasons behind this decision? Were vital clues lost when it came to sharing information between the French authorities and other international agencies? How organised were the attacks? What was the precise level of co-ordination and planning? Was it a ""home grown"" terror attack, with inspiration and training coming from elsewhere? Or was it planned and instigated through a wider network? The claims of the perpetrators themselves have to be treated with caution until more is known about the detailed planning of the attacks and the training and travel movements of the individual terrorists. How and where did the killers obtain the weapons to carry out the attacks? How did they manage to conceal their arms cache without someone becoming suspicious? Are there others still at large who may have helped? The acquisition and transport of the weapons seems to have slipped past the radar of the police. What role did Hayat Boumeddiene play?

+"Rohan Beyts is accusing the company of breaching data protection law by filming her without her permission or notice. She claims she was filmed by male employees as she urinated in sand dunes while out walking at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire a year ago. Trump International has denied the claims. The company was run by Donald Trump before he became the US president. Ms Beyts told the court in Edinburgh that she had gone walking with a friend in April last year and had to pass through the Trump International Golf Club to get access to the beach. The 62-year-old said that while on the beach she had gone into the dunes after realising that, due to a medical condition, she needed the toilet urgently. She said she had taken notice of Mountaineering Scotland's guidelines for what to do if you need to urinate outside, and that she would have been horrified if anyone had seen her. Ms Beyts, from Montrose in Angus, told the court: ""I needed to go as a matter of urgency. I was crouching down in the dune area. I was covered by Marram grass once I crouched down. ""There was no golfers visible."" The retired social worker also said the civil action was about a ""mixture of things."" She added: ""Don't be intimidated. Please exercise your right to roam. And it's about not being bullied. I feel being filmed secretly is a bullying act."" Three days after the incident, police officers arrived at her house to charge her with urinating in a public place that could cause annoyance. After speaking to police on a further occasion, she was told three men had mobile phone footage of her urinating. The court also heard from the golf course irrigation technician who said he had taken a photograph with his mobile phone of Ms Beyts urinating. But Edward Irvine, 23, said he had not filmed Ms Beyts. He added: ""I took her picture for evidence that she was urinating in a public place. I believed that it was a criminal offence to do that."" Mr Irvine then gave a statement about what he had witnessed to a police officer. The green keeper also told the court that he had seen golfers urinating on the course. He said those golfers went into bushes before going to the toilet. He said Ms Beyts did not do this and he was able to photograph her.

+"Seven of her relatives have been arrested, and accused of misusing their royal status to amass vast wealth and carry out numerous abuses. The crown prince himself has now made the disgrace official by ordering her family to stop using the name Akrapongpreecha, which he gave them after he married her in 2001. The king and the crown prince both have this privilege, akin to knighthoods in the UK. Interestingly, the crown prince has not revoked her royal title, ""Mom"", which translates roughly as ""princess"", nor yet her use of the royal family's name, Mahidol na Ayutthaya. These are officially bestowed by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, and it would need his approval for them to be revoked. However if, as expected, the crown prince divorces Princess Srirasmi, she will almost certainly lose both titles. The future status of her nine-year-old son by the prince, Dipangkorn, will depend on his father's wishes. Titles matter a great deal in status-obsessed Thailand, in particular when it comes to those with a claim to the throne. The 1924 Palace Succession Law, enshrined in subsequent constitutions, follows the principle of primogeniture, meaning Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn is the designated heir to King Bhumibol, and his own sons should inherit the throne after him, ranked by age. However, the law also gives reigning kings considerable sway in choosing their own successor - and an amendment to the constitution now allows the possibility of a female successor. The crown prince has four sons by his second marriage, whom he disowned in 1997 when he severed all ties with their mother, Yuvadhida Polpraserth. At the time the crown prince stated that they had renounced all their royal titles. But the palace continues to recognise their right to use the title HSH, or His Serene Highness, even though the boys, now grown up, are banished from Thailand and live in the United States. That leaves some doubt over where they sit in line to the throne, even though most commentators believe they are no longer considered possible successors. It is widely believed that the crown prince may have had another baby boy this year with his current mistress, who is likely to become his next wife. The issue is critical in a country where the monarchy is considered pivotal to political stability, and where King Bhumibol, who turns 87 this week, is in such frail health. Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn appears to be sorting out his personal affairs before the succession, so that he can choose who will be his queen, and who will eventually succeed him.","The downfall of Princess Srirasmi , the wife of Thailand 's Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn , has been both @placeholder and unusually public .",special,dramatic,widespread,further,notable

+"In future, the SDF will, in principle, be able to assist the forces of a foreign country in situations where either the survival and security of Japan or that of its citizens is at risk. The new interpretation is highly controversial since it represents a sharp departure from the post-war political consensus, codified in Article 9 of the Japanese constitution, that explicitly limits Japan's use of military force exclusively to the defence of its sovereign territory and its people. Such has been the strength of post-war Japanese pacifist sentiment, and notwithstanding the long-term alliance with the United States, that Japan's defence forces have been unable to extend their military collaboration with their US allies beyond this narrowly circumscribed role. Under the new provisions, there are now a range of scenarios in which this type of joint defence activity might be expanded. Examples include providing defensive support to US forces under attack in the vicinity of Japan, co-operating militarily with US forces to safeguard Japanese citizens at risk overseas, participating in minesweeping activities during a time of war, or deploying Japanese forces to protect access to energy supplies or critically important sea-lanes of communication vital to Japan's survival. Indeed, in theory, the new interpretation will allow Japan to co-operate with any foreign country with which it has ""close ties"", thereby substantially expanding the scope for military co-operation with different countries and beyond the narrow remit of the defence of Japanese territory. Opinion in Japan is divided on the merits of this change, with 50%, according to a recent Nikkei poll, opposing the new interpretation and 34% supporting it. The motives for opposition are mixed, in part reflecting the unresolved debate about Japan's post-war political identity, but also prompted by uncertainty regarding the long-term security objectives of the Abe administration. Progressive thinkers argue that the changes overturn the pacifist legal and interpretative conventions, established in the aftermath of World War Two, guaranteeing that Japan will never again become embroiled in foreign conflicts. Given the sensitivity and importance of these political norms, critics argue they should only be changed via constitutional amendment. While the Abe administration dominates both houses of the Japanese parliament, it is uncertain of its ability to revise the constitution rapidly and critics view the new interpretation as one of dubious political legitimacy. There is also some fear, both within Japan and amongst its closest neighbours, most notably China and South Korea, that the new interpretation is intended to allow the government to deploy troops freely in a wide-range of conflict situations. However, the Abe administration has explicitly ruled out such options and has been careful to distinguish between collective self-defence (intended to safeguard Japanese national interests and assets) and collective security - where states co-operate to protect their mutual interests in the face of foreign aggression. Mr Abe himself has made it clear that Japan's forces will not ""participate in combat in wars such as the Gulf War and the Iraq War"". Mr Abe appears to have a number of motives for introducing the new interpretation. It will provide Japan with much greater latitude to strengthen its military co-operation with the United States - something that Washington is keen to encourage as part of the current revision of the Joint US-Japan Defence Guidelines, unchanged since 1997. It will also open the door potentially to more active defence co-operation with other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Australia and the Philippines - both of which have welcomed these changes, as they look anxiously at China's increasingly assertive maritime posture in the South and East China seas. More generally, the new interpretation is likely to strengthen the perception that Japan has become a more ""normal"" state, in terms of its ability constructively to contribute to global and regional security. The political and diplomatic dividends from such a change in attitudes are likely to be considerable, potentially strengthening Japan's long-standing bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and adding weight to Mr Abe's recently articulated strategy of making a ""proactive contribution to peace"". The new approach is not without risk. While Japan's mainstream political parties remain weak and divided, citizen activism in opposition to these changes may be energised, particularly at the level of local politics. Prefectural, city, town and village-based criticism of the government's approach has been vocal and may cost the government support in the spring elections of 2015. Abroad, the new measures look set to further undermine an already frayed relationship with South Korea and to heighten territorial and political tensions with China. Finally, the intentional ambiguity surrounding the details of the new interpretation provides the government with useful flexibility in deploying its forces overseas, but it also magnifies the potential for increased tactical and strategic risk at a time when regional security tensions are intensifying. For a Japanese government that has limited experience of the high-pressure challenge of national security decision-making and crisis management, this may not be an entirely positive development. John Swenson-Wright is head of the Asia Programme at Chatham House.","The administration of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has announced a major new interpretation of the security provisions of the country 's 1947 constitution , permitting its Self Defence Forces ( SDF ) to participate for the first time in collective self - defence @placeholder activities .",accomplished,proving,declared,fighting,related

+"They say 40% of coral has died at the Dongsha Atoll in the South China Sea. Nothing as severe has happened on Dongsha for at least 40 years, according to experts. Anne Cohen of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, US, said the high water temperatures of 2015/16 were devastating for reef systems globally, including Dongsha. Coral bleaching - where corals turn white and may die - was the worst on record for Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef in 2016. The barrier reef has absorbed a lot of the attention, but other reefs around the world were also severely affected, said Dr Cohen. ""The 2015/2016 El Nino was devastating for reef systems in other parts of the world as well, including Dongsha Atoll and reefs in the central Pacific, where some of the most pristine coral reefs are located and of course, the US Pacific Remote Marine National Monument,"" she said. ""We observed devastating bleaching in that area as well."" Only last week, scientists published observations of three major die-offs of coral at the Great Barrier Reef in 2016, 2002 and 1998. They concluded that the only way to preserve the world's coral reefs is to take drastic action to reduce global warming. The study of the Dongsha Atoll, reported in the journal, Scientific Reports, echoes this finding. ""Based on what we observed on Dongsha, a 2 degree cap on ocean warming may not be enough to save coral reefs,"" Dr Cohen told BBC News. ""This is because coral reefs are shallow water ecosystems and a tweak in the local weather can turn that 2 degrees Celsius into a 6 degrees Celsius warming."" The Dongsha Atoll, located in the South China Sea, near south-eastern China and the Philippines, is rich in marine life and is regarded as one of the world's most important coral reefs. The researchers said on its own, a 2 degrees Celsius rise in temperatures was unlikely to cause widespread damage to coral reefs in the region. But, a high-pressure system caused temperatures to spike to 6 degrees, leading to the death of 40% of coral over the course of six weeks. They argue that predictions of the future of coral reefs may be ""overly optimistic"" for some reefs in shallow water. Bleaching happens when high water temperatures cause corals to expel the algae they depend upon.

+"Fast forward 21 years and Rovers are now struggling in the second tier, the Toffees have not won another major trophy and Palace have made 16 permanent managerial changes. Bartlett, remarkably, remains boss of the Stones. As the 60-year-old prepares the National League South club for Saturday's FA Cup fourth qualifying round tie at Dagenham & Redbridge - one of 32 taking place this weekend - the London-born PE teacher is proof that longevity is achievable in a game where knee-jerk reactions and sackings are commonplace. FA Cup fourth qualifying round fixtures FA Cup 2016-17 qualifying results ""Most chairmen tend to go through countless managers. I'm the opposite, I go through chairmen,"" said Bartlett. He is the longest-serving manager in England's top six tiers having been appointed 16 months before Arsene Wenger's first match in charge of Arsenal in October 1996. Since taking charge of Wealdstone, Bartlett has overseen 1,250-plus competitive games, served four different chairmen and won four promotions, while the club, now based in Ruislip, have played ""home"" games at three different grounds. Such devotion and loyalty might prompt a club to commission a statue in tribute. Bartlett, however, is more than satisfied with the decanter and watch he received at a testimonial dinner, attended by Tottenham legend Steve Perryman and former Watford boss Aidy Boothroyd, in 2010 to mark 15 years in charge. ""It's not about Gordon Bartlett and 21 years as manager of Wealdstone. It's about what we can achieve collectively as a group and as a team,"" Bartlett said. ""When I first took over at Wealdstone we had no ground, just two players and we were in administration. We started from scratch."" Highlights for Wealdstone under Bartlett's rule include FA Cup first-round pay days against Rotherham in 2009 and Colchester in 2015, and a ¡ê70,000 transfer fee from Leeds United for striker Jermaine Beckford in 2006. There have been lows too. ""Three years ago I came very close to quitting after we lost to Concord Rangers in the Isthmian League play-offs,"" said Bartlett. ""Part of my longevity is because I have surrounded myself with super people and I was persuaded to stay on. The following season we finished top and were promoted to National League South."" Vinnie Jones, an FA Cup winner with Wimbledon in 1988, and former England captain Stuart Pearce both started their careers at Wealdstone before Bartlett arrived. In addition to Boothroyd, Bartlett has forged long-term friendships with former Watford managers Sean Dyche and Malky Mackay, while ex-England striker Les Ferdinand played under him as a teenager. Wealdstone are one league below Dagenham & Redbridge, who are second in the National League table having been relegated from League Two last season. The Daggers are also managed by a veteran, with 66-year-old John Still in his third spell in charge, the first of which came in 1992. Despite being underdogs, Bartlett has been around long enough to know his side can join former winners Bolton Wanderers, Coventry City and Portsmouth in Monday's first-round draw. So has he got a date in mind to retire from management? ""As long as I can take Wealdstone forward and I have fire in my belly, I will continue,"" he added. Should Stourbridge keeper Matthew Gould require an insight into the magic of the FA Cup he only needs to give his grandad a phone call. Bobby Gould masterminded Wimbledon's 1988 triumph over Liverpool - arguably the biggest upset in the competition's history. The former Wales boss later revealed he had got closer than most to the famous trophy after tucking it into his bed after his ""Crazy Gang"" had won. ""Grandad often mentions he slept with the FA Cup,"" said Gould, 22, who is set to feature for Stourbridge in their tie at Northern Premier League Premier Division rivals Nantwich Town on Saturday. ""I wasn't born when Wimbledon won the cup but I've watched it back a couple of times with grandad. ""It was quite an incredible group of players he had. It was a bit like Leicester winning the Premier League last season. It gives everyone hope."" Gould, son of former Celtic and Coventry keeper Jonathan, was back-up at Livingston last season, who were playing in the Scottish Championship, before joining Scottish League One Stenhousemuir on an emergency loan in November. After returning to Livingston, he finished the season on loan at Stourbridge before agreeing a one-year contract with the Glassboys in May. It is a handy arrangement as his dad is goalkeeper coach at nearby West Bromwich Albion, where Stourbridge's keeper spends his week training with the likes of England international Ben Foster and Boaz Myhill. ""I'm very fortunate that Tony Pulis allows me to train with them because of my dad,"" added Gould. ""You cannot buy that experience. I'm learning something new every day."" Stourbridge are managed by Gary Hackett, the former Stoke City and West Brom winger, who is looking to guide his hometown club to the FA Cup first round for the fifth time in eight seasons. Will FA Cup-winning boss Bobby Gould be making the journey to Nantwich to cheer on the Glassboys?

The General Medical Council (GMC), which brought the fitness to practise hearing, said Dr Pathan had advised Mrs Mulhall to ask Daniel's mother to make an appointment, which was never booked. The GMC said the GP's actions ""did not reflect an urgency"" to examine Daniel, despite his mother's documented history of depression, misuse of alcohol in the home and records showing Daniel would have been exposed to domestic violence. Kevin Slack, representing the GMC, said.""Had he [Dr Pathan] taken these into account, it is the GMC's case that the doctor should have acted much more proactively and should have arranged to see him in 24-48 hours."" Dr Leonard Peter, an expert witness for the GMC, said Dr Pathan ""should have realised that the features added up to a child who was at significant risk"". Dr Pathan said he did not look at the boy's mother's records because he did not suspect neglect or abuse and maintains he had no reason to do so. The GMC said Dr Pathan's actions did not cause Daniel's death, but ""rather that his sad death forms part of a background to alleged failings in this case"". A serious case review in September 2013 found a number of chances were missed to save Daniel and criticised a number of agencies involved. Dr Pathan admits failing to record adequate details of the phone conversation and to formulate an action plan, but denies his fitness to practise is impaired.

+"The Carterhaugh Ba' Game is thought to have been an early forerunner of the modern game of rugby. One account of the match, which was held on 4 December 1815, suggests the ball was picked up and slung between team mates. It came eight years before the game of rugby purportedly originated at Rugby School. The original game was played on part of the Bowhill Estate called the Carterhaugh peninsular - between the Ettrick and Yarrow Waters, near Selkirk. Around 1,000 men are estimated to have taken part while another 2,000 spectators cheered on the teams from Selkirk and Yarrow. Organised by Sir Walter Scott, James Hogg and the fourth Duke of Buccleuch, the game was accompanied by pipes, banners and wild celebrations. The game was re-created as part of a day-long celebration event on Friday, which included a traditional hand ba' game played by local enthusiasts. The re-enactment was officially started by the current Duke of Buccleuch, who threw a ball in the air. In a narrated interpretation of the original game, it featured a local re-enactment group, drummers, flagbearers, halberdiers, musketeers and jesters.

+"An hour or two after the action subsides and Murrayfield falls silent, the players file out to greet supporters queuing in the shadows of the towering west stand. A throng of youngsters draped in Saltires, cheeks caked with face paint, necks craned over the barrier fence awaiting the emergence of their heroes, confronts them. For Watson, the penning of signatures and distributing of kit bears particular significance. A decade ago, it might have been him at the heart of the clamour. ""Me and my brother always used to queue up for autographs after the games,"" the flanker recalls. ""It's quite funny now me coming out and chucking my socks to them. I always try and give my shorts and socks away because I remember how much I loved it when I got a pair after a game. ""I think on one occasion I got Dan Parks' and a few others. When we were kids it was so exciting to get autographs, so I always try and give stuff away."" Watson may be 25, but he's still a kid himself in international terms, a fledgling of five caps, two of them as substitute. His, however, was a deeply compelling autumn. He played every minute of Scotland's trio of Tests, battling blow-for-blow on the open-side flank with Australian titans David Pocock and Michael Hooper, the livewire Argentine Pablo Matera, then the hulking totem of Georgian rugby, Mamuka Gorgodze. ""It was amazing, it was great to get a run of games and actually start a few back-to-back,"" he says. ""You're coming up against internationals every week for your club, but you're only playing four or five of them. ""Against a whole team of them, the main thing you notice is it's a lot quicker and a bit more physical, so you've got to get all your carries perfect and roles right. ""The nerves before that first start against Australia in front of a packed Murrayfield were pretty massive - I still get nervous for Edinburgh games, so I don't think that'll ever go away, but I'm not one to throw up."" Watson was born in Manchester, but is eligible for Scotland through his grandparents. He attended Oakham School near Leicester, from where he would hop in a taxi after class and ride 40 minutes to Scottish Exiles training in Nottingham. His teenage toil yielded a coveted berth in Leicester Tigers' academy, then a jaunt on the World Sevens Series with Scotland, and finally, an elite development contract in the nation's capital. In his six seasons riding the maddening Edinburgh rugby rollercoaster, Watson has played under three head coaches, and wildly contrasting strategies. He signed amid the borderline kamikaze attacking days of Michael Bradley, grafted through the rigid era of Alan Solomons, while interim head coach Duncan Hodge is now trying to forge a successful marriage of the two. ""Under 'Bradders' our attack was amazing, everyone knew Edinburgh could score 50-plus points, but our defence was dreadful,"" Watson says. ""Alan came in, consolidated Edinburgh, made them a solid mid-table team and very hard to beat at home. ""We were known for having an amazing set-piece, but maybe lacked in scoring tries. Now, our attack's looking very good, our defence is good, but we're sometimes a bit off-it. We've got to find a good equilibrium. ""I think Hodgey's given the boys slightly more freedom in attack, more freedom to push those offloads, which has helped. ""We've scored quite a lot of tries off the back of that. The attack, we're playing at a higher tempo, he's tried to change training up a bit, and he's an attack coach, so he's brought lots of his styles from Scotland. It's given him a bit more freedom to push through his attack."" Edinburgh's form this season, however, is enough to drive the most placid of supporters to the brink of insanity. In October, they beat Harlequins, then lost to Zebre. They beat Ulster, then lost to Dragons. A fortnight ago, they trailed Stade Francais by 17 points at half-time, had Phil Burleigh sent off, and yet salvaged victory in pulsating fashion. Last week, they were 23 points down to Stade at half-time and only just failed to repeat those heroics. For too many seasons, Edinburgh have festered like this. So much fleeting promise; so little tangible success. One step forward, two back. There can be few teams who persistently torment their fans in such fashion. ""It's not just the fans, it's massively frustrating as a player as well, and it's hard to put your finger on it,"" Watson says. ""We still haven't given an 80-minute performance this season. Even against Quins, we were amazing, we won the game, but we let them come back into it, and the same against Ulster, we had a late scare. ""I think that'll come - we're quite a young squad, so every game these young players are getting more and more experienced. ""If we manage to keep all of our players, we will be a very strong squad in a few years - it will be a very good squad if we keep our young, exciting players."" Two of them - back-rower Magnus Bradbury, 21, and 19-year-old full-back Blair Kinghorn - have committed themselves to staying in the capital until 2020 and 2019 respectively, while Watson is keen to extend his own contract beyond the end of the season. More immediately, he is eager to help Edinburgh cling on to the 1872 Cup - a trophy they have lifted the past two seasons despite their struggles, and the continued good form of rivals Glasgow Warriors. ""We've had the edge the last two years, but these are the games Edinburgh never struggle with,"" he says. ""These are the games you don't have to get psyched up for. It's the ones like Zebre at home, Dragons away, we need to start winning. ""Every game, you always feel you're ready, but maybe mentally you're not quite ready. But those are the games we've got to win, and that's the big difference in the league at the moment.""

+"Ms Saa was 15 when a 32-year-old man threw acid at her for rejecting his offer of marriage. ""It felt cold first. Then I felt an intense burning. Then the liquid melted my skin,"" she remembers about the attack. Since then, she has become one of India's most outspoken advocates against the unregulated sale of acid, as well as for harsher punishment for the perpetrators of acid attacks. ""This opportunity to represent an apparel brand was a platform for me to set an example for women like me to be confident and have courage despite their physical appearances. This was also a platform for me to send a clear message to criminals that women will not lose courage even after they are attacked with acid to destroy their physical beauty,"" Ms Saa told the BBC. According to one estimate by the Acid Survivors Trust International, there could be as many as 1,000 acid attacks every year in India alone, many of which go unreported. Despite this, the country does not have any specific law to prosecute acid attackers. However in 2013, the Supreme Court of India acted on a petition filed by Ms Saa and directed state governments to formulate a policy to regulate over-the-counter sale of acid in India. The apparel company Viva N Diva, for which Ms Saa is modelling, said it chose her out of a desire to change the outlook of people towards fashion and beauty by spreading awareness that beauty is beyond mere physical attributes. Ms Saa agrees that there need to be wider conversations on the issue. ""The problem is not just in being a victim but also your victimisation by the society.  We are treated as if we are good for nothing and as if our lives are a waste,"" she said.

The 76-year-old was investigated over historical sexual assault allegations, which he always denied, before the CPS dropped its case in June. Details of his complaints have emerged in paperwork lodged at the High Court. The decision to sue the BBC and South Yorkshire Police comes after Sir Cliff was the subject of a long-running police investigation based on allegations dating between 1958 and 1983 made by four men. A raid on his apartment in Sunningdale, Berkshire, was broadcast live by the BBC in 2014. The story was subsequently entered into ""scoop of the year"" at the Royal Television Society awards - something Sir Cliff described in paperwork as ""adding insult to injury"". The CPS announced it was taking no further action against Sir Cliff on 16 June because there was insufficient evidence. Sir Cliff alleges that his privacy was invaded and wants ""very substantial"" damages.

+"Pine martens have been spotted by cameras in the Fermanagh woodlands, more than red or grey squirrels. The animal is considered to be Ireland's rarest native mammal. The results have forced researchers to rethink and they will now include pine martens in the survey. They are now recruiting volunteers to take the project forward and get a better picture of both the red squirrel and pine marten populations in Northern Ireland. The Fermanagh Citizen Science Red Squirrel Project originally set up cameras in 70 woodlands across the county. The aim of the project was to monitor the Fermanagh red squirrel population. The species was once common in Ireland but has been battling for survival ever since the grey squirrel was introduced from North America over 100 years ago. Fermanagh and the Glens of Antrim remain the only red squirrel strongholds in Northern Ireland. The project collected thousands of photos, but researchers were amazed to find that pine martens had been spotted more than their intended target. Close to 40 per cent of the woodlands examined contained pine martens, compared to 20 per cent containing red squirrels and three per cent containing grey squirrels. Dr David Tosh from Queen's University Belfast, said they had been  trying to gain more information on the distribution of red and grey squirrels in County Fermanagh. ""We decided to use volunteers from the Fermanagh Red Squirrel Group and the National Trust to stick up camera traps in the forest and basically use that as a template for these red animals across the rest of Northern Ireland,"" he said. ""But we found more pine martens than we did red squirrels, which was a very pleasant surprise because they are also a protected and endangered species as well. ""We found pine martens in one in every three forests we surveyed while we only found red squirrels in every one in five.

Ms Hendricks called for the reactors to be taken offline in response to a report by Germany's independent Reactor Safety Commission.

""Risk assessment and risk management failed in some way and in some form in all the fatalities"" he added. He said ""lessons were not learnt that should have been"". Reducing fire budgets and the number of firefighters ""could lead to more deaths of both members of the public and firefighters"", he added. The report called for the role of central and senior local government and brigade managers in firefighter fatalities to be addressed. It also provided a series of recommendations to address firefighter safety and recommended action to improve risk assessment and training.

+"A doctor who treated Pte Gavin Williams said she was not told he was dehydrated after a so-called ""beasting"". Pte Williams, 22, from Hengoed, Caerphilly county, was made to do intense exercise as punishment at for a series of drunken incidents in 2006. He later died from heart failure in hospital as a result of heatstroke. The drug ecstasy was in his blood at the time of his death at Lucknow Barracks in Tidworth, Wiltshire, on 3 July 2006, the inquest in Salisbury was told. Dr Rowena French helped treat Pte Williams in the medical centre at the barracks when he felt unwell, and said she had been aware ""beasting"" took the form of physical training on camp. Dr French said Pte Williams had claimed to be passing blood in his urine, but she had not been informed about him collapsing or complaining of stomach pain - so she did not have heat injury in mind. ""It wasn't portrayed to me at the time as being any great emergencya€| it was standard,"" she said. The coroner, Judge Alan Large, said: ""I think it's fair to say that if everyone had been told everything that day then medical staff would have been much better equipped to deal with what was going on."" The inquest was told Dr French was advised Pte Williams may be aggressive and she should have someone else with her while treating him. Asked if she felt her colleagues thought Pte Williams was exaggerating his illness, Dr French said she could not remember. A nurse previously told police she heard the duty doctor, Mark Derbyshire, say Pte Williams was faking it. Dr Derbyshire told the hearing it was ""quite clear"" in his mind he did not say Pte Williams was faking his illness. He said to his knowledge no ""lessons learned"" exercise was carried out at the camp after the incident, and there were no discussions with the family after Pte Williams's death. The MoD has said it has carried out several reviews of the incident since Sgt Paul Blake, Sgt Russell Price and Cpl John Edwards, who were involved in the beasting, were cleared of manslaughter charges in 2008.

+"They say the justice system has failed them. But the province's criminal prosecutions office says none of the allegations met the burden of proof necessary for indictments. The shocking 2015 allegations led to calls for an inquiry into policing. The story in Quebec is unfolding as law enforcement across the country is under growing scrutiny of the relationship between police and First Nations people in Canada. The high-profile case began last year, when a number of women went public with their allegations to investigative news program ""Enquete"", describing intimidation, abuse of power, and sexual and physical abuse by provincial police stationed in Val d'Or, a town of 31,000 people some 530km (330 miles) northwest of Montreal. Soon after, the Quebec government ordered a wide-ranging inquiry into the allegations, with the investigation handled by Montreal police. Six Quebec provincial police officers from Val d'Or were suspended with pay during the investigation. The police eventually handed over 37 files to Crown prosecutors. On Friday, the Crown gave a rare explanation of its decision not to press charges at a news conference in Val d'Or, saying they hoped the transparency would help bolster faith in the process. Prosecutors said they had no reason not to believe the women's allegations but  did not think they could prove them in court. ""We have to be clear that the fact that charges have not been laid doesn't mean that the events did not take place. The burden on the Crown is very high. We have to show that the suspect is guilty beyond reasonable doubt,"" said Sylvain Petitclerc. The Crown said in a number of cases there was insufficient evidence to identify a suspect. In other cases, they failed to find enough overall evidence.  In three cases, the allegations were made by a third party and later denied by the potential complainant. In one instance the suspect had died. The Crown did file charges against two retired police officers from Schefferville, another rural Quebec community, on alleged crimes dating back to the 1980s and 1990s. But Edith Cloutier, with the Val-d'Or Native Friendship Centre,  called Val d'Or ""ground zero"" for the accusations, and said the lack of charges has renewed calls for an independent inquiry into systemic racism and the relationship between police and aboriginal people in Quebec. The province has repeatedly rejected that request from federal and provincial indigenous groups. ""Those women forgot their fear, broke their silence, finally spoke out,"" Ms Cloutier said. ""The system has failed to protect them."" Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief for Quebec-Labrador Ghislain Picard said simply: ""It's clear there is a very wide gap between justice and its application to indigenous people."" In April, Quebec setup a confidential hotline indigenous people could call to file complaints of police abuse. Montreal police force have been tasked with investigating all the allegations of abuse against indigenous people unless they are against one of their own.

Salvage experts said the operation had gone smoothly despite concern about further spillages of fuel from the damaged rig. Two tug boats pulled the rig on a 54-mile journey to Broad Bay where experts will assess the damage. The journey has taken longer than initially estimated with a travelling speed of 1-1.5 knots (1.15-1.72mph). The Maritime & Coastguard Agency has been conducting counter pollution flyover checks in the area to examine the water for any sign of discharge, sheen or pollution from the rig. There was no pollution reported in the Dalmore Bay area, but a slight sheen was detected as the aircraft continued to follow the path of the rig. The sheen is said to be associated with the ongoing pressurisation of tanks to maintain the rig's stability, but a Brigg's Marine and Environmental Services team is accompanying the tow and assisting by ""breaking up the light sheen"". A temporary exclusion zone remains in place at Dalmore Bay, where the rig initially ran aground, until the seabed has been checked for any debris or environmental impact. Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's representative for maritime salvage and intervention, said: ""We are taking advantage of the favourable weather conditions following this big step forward, and we will continue to closely monitor the rig whilst it is under tow.

+"In the future, 2016 may be remembered as the year in which Westerners lost faith in the liberal story. It may therefore be remembered as the counterpoint to 1989. In 1989, with the end of the Cold War and the collapse of communism, it seemed that the liberal story had won. The liberal story says that humankind is inevitably marching towards a global society of free markets and democratic politics. Those who willingly join the march of history by opening their borders and liberalising their markets and politics will be rewarded with peace and prosperity. Those who refuse to liberalise and globalise are doomed to failure. Bill Clinton, for example, confidently told the Chinese government that its refusal to liberalise Chinese politics put it ""on the wrong side of history"". In the 1990s and 2000s, the liberal story shaped not only the foreign policy of the United States and its allies, but also the domestic policies of governments across the world, from South Africa to Indonesia. However, since the global financial crisis of 2008, people all over the world have become increasingly disillusioned with the liberal story. It is no longer so clear that the Chinese Communist Party is on the wrong side of history, and authoritarian rulers such as Putin, Erdogan and Netanyahu are taking their countries in distinctly illiberal directions. The year 2016 - marked by the Brexit vote in Britain and the rise of Donald Trump in the United States - signifies the moment when this tidal wave of disillusionment has reached the liberal heartland of Western Europe and North America. Whereas a few years ago Americans and Europeans were still trying to liberalise Iraq and Libya at the point of the gun, they now have second thoughts even about American democracy and European identity. More and more Americans and Europeans are convinced that liberalisation and globalisation are a huge fraud that serves the interests of a tiny elite at the expense of the masses. In the long run, however, 2016 may turn out to be similar to 1968, 1933 and 1914. On all these previous occasions, Westerners lost faith in the liberal story only to eventually embrace it again. The people who voted for Hitler and Mussolini eventually built the West German and Italian democracies, and the youngsters who rioted in 1968 eventually went on to become Wall Street traders and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

You don't see that so much now, because none of the sales figures are to be trumpeted. Newspapers remain an important pillar of Scottish life, politics, culture and identity.  The four city-based titles are all more than 200 years old - The Scotsman and Courier reaching that milestone in the past year. They don't do much to report on themselves. Yet there's rarely been so much interest and discussion of news and how it is reported. The constitutional debates about Scotland and Brexit excite theories of newspaper conspiracy, and over-powerful proprietors. Social media has given access to everyone, on an equal basis, to have their say, where many are contemptuous or dismissive of ""the MSM"" (mainstream media) or ""dead tree press"". One such conspiracy theorist has taken up residence in the White House, and is using that ""bully pulpit"" to trash the big news brands.  Fake news, he says. Fake. Sad.  His people have ""alternative facts"".  There may be lessons there for us all. More of President Trump later. Close to home turf for me, this week brought an unusual sensation. For the first time in 28 years as a journalist, I'm working for an organisation that has ambitious plans for significant expansion. A digital TV channel for Scotland, including an hour-long news programme, viewing Scotland, the UK and the world from a Scottish studio, is an exciting prospect. To have spent nearly three decades inside an industry in gradual and then more rapid decline, facing cuts, job losses and narrowing ambitions, takes its toll. It's more difficult to be creative and bold in that environment, or to take risks. So this could change. It brings 80 more journalists at the BBC, and the opportunity to try new approaches to news. To its credit, STV has got to a similar plan, and earlier. If there's one thing we envy of our broadcast rivals just along the south bank of the Clyde, it's the ability to take decisions quickly. It is doing so by taking the city TV licences for Glasgow and Edinburgh, adding Dundee, Aberdeen and Ayr later this year, and making a sort of national network. That may somewhat undermine the intended spirit of local TV, but it's an innovative response in a changing market. The newspapers gave the BBC's initiative far more coverage than their own part of the industry. Broadcasters fill a lot of column inches, from plundering political interviews to personal dramas about soap opera stars, generating a steady flow of on-screen celebrity. It was down to the BBC, and to the media trade press and websites, to report the full-year sales figures for so-called 'regional' newspapers, which were published this week by the industry's audit organisation. They were all down. The National led the charge, falling 30% to 8,500 daily sales. That somewhat undermines the arguments that other papers are suffering the consequence of being out of kilter with the political zeitgeist. Political slant doesn't matter half as much as political people think. The National may yet be viable, because it has the back office management, advertising sales and printing capacity of the Herald and Evening Times group. The National can pursue its strongly pro-independence agenda with very few resources; a small number of young journalists, a very imaginative graphic designer, and its in-house Wee Ginger Dug. More worrying is the plight of The Scotsman. Sales were down 14% to below 20,000.  More than 2,000 of them are given away for free. The daily provides the infrastructure for Scotland on Sunday, which saw sales down 26% on the second half of 2015. The Edinburgh Evening News, also in that group, was down 16% to 18,400 - more than the other three city ""evening"" titles. (They're not really evening papers now, so much as local. Almost all their content is in place before that day's morning titles.) Many of these titles attract much bigger audiences for their online news, which is free to access. But few offer reliable, audited figures. The Scotsman's number is just under 100,000 visitors per day: The Herald at 88,000. No-one is getting rich from the advertising that comes with online news. There's recent evidence that, for all its falling sales, print still gets much more time than the written word on screen, and advertisers pay heed to such evidence. Saturday sales illustrate that.  Even at much higher prices, many titles see their print sales lift at the weekend.  The Guardian sells around 8,000 on the average weekday in Scotland, but that nearly doubles on Saturday. Many people seem to prefer a paper to a computer screen when they're kicking back over brunch. The Scotsman group is burdened with its proprietor's enormous debts. Johnston Press, also based in Edinburgh, is under siege from an activist investor, now with a 20% stake, which seems to have lost faith in the JP management and strategy. That strategy is to invest in its new acquisition of the 'i' low-price quick read, which grew out of The Independent. It gives Johnston a UK-wide reach for advertising. The group has had to sell some of its 200-plus local titles, including those in Ireland, the Isle of Man and East Anglia.  More are on the sales block, though it seems Johnston want to retain The Scotsman as its best-known brand. Industry insiders say DC Thompson, owner of The Courier, Press & Journal and Sunday Post, would be interested in taking on The Scotsman stable, at the right price. The Dundee family firm has shown a knack for adapting in this exceptionally difficult market, by staying close to readers. But Johnston Press seems determined to soldier on as things are. It may be that the going price for The Scotsman falls far short of what its creditors require. This has been good news for The Times, which is picking off chunks of the Edinburgh region up-market readership. Its editor, Magnus Llewellin, attributes that to investment in journalism. It has been poaching some of the more experienced writers in Scottish news and sport, including Mr Llewellin himself, formerly editor of The Herald. Beyond that, it has been much smarter than others at bundling print sales with subscriptions.  It has sent the message that if you want quality news, you should pay for it, starting with teaser subscriptions rates. It helps that the Times website is a coherent fit with the print product. Too many other papers want to draw readers across to their online journalism, only to find that it looks and feels very different. That can undermine the brand. The Times' subscription approach takes time and deep pockets. The title's ultimate boss, Rupert Murdoch, did something similar with Sky television. It's worked, and squeezed out rivals, from BSB to Setanta. All this is with the backdrop of conventional news sources being trusted less. As with other institutional pillars, there's a desire to kick over the old order, and replace it with... well, what? Citizen journalism? Websites driven from a political conviction, and crowd-funded? The cacophony of social media? Getting attention by being outrageous? Endlessly challenging the mainstream media to be more accountable? That is where Donald Trump is dragging the debate in the USA. The industry there is much more given to navel-gazing. It has been asking whether it covered the Trump campaign phenomenon as it should, and how it now covers the presidency. If every unwelcome news report is to be challenged, or denounced as fake news, and if the mis-statements and hypocrisy of Mr President simply meet with a shrug, how should they cover the White House? (And having seen some of these 'trash-the-messenger' tactics used in two referendums on this side of the Pond, how would a further Scottish referendum be reported any differently from last time?) Today, the question is how you report the president when the awkward squad of mainstream news outlets  - including the BBC - is excluded from briefings. I'm reminded of a friend who was a White House correspondent in the early 1970s. He was blacklisted by President Richard Nixon when he wrote that he had been given an ashtray with the presidential seal on it, which he was using as a water bowl for his dog. One answer to being excluded, I'd humbly suggest, is: wear it with pride. Don't play their game. If you're not being excluded by the Trump White House, ask what you're doing wrong. You can do your job with the information that's publicly available. In any case, what would you miss? Do we really think that the huddles of journalists around the spokesman are going to be any more newsworthy or revelatory than President Trump's attention-hungry, headline-grabbing government-by-tragi-comedy-Tweet/stump speech/monologue?",""" Navel - gazing - readers do n't care "" : with that , coverage of and by the news media tends to be @placeholder from editorial conference meetings .",drawn,banned,reduced,resolved,dismissed

+"Male circumcision is legal in the Netherlands but the body representing the country's doctors wants to end the practice. The association is urging politicians to put it on the political agenda. It is asking parents to think twice before having their sons circumcised because it regards the procedure as dangerous and unnecessary. Yet others see it as the latest reflection of a political shift in a country that is increasingly pressuring religious groups to stop practising what they preach. The figures vary but it is estimated that globally 30% of men are circumcised, with about 15,000 boys undergoing the procedure here in the Netherlands every year. In much of Africa, it is seen as a rite of passage in becoming a man, with boys being taken ""to the bush"" to spend days hidden away in this ceremonial transition. In the United States, it is still a relatively common procedure. However, there is a growing lobby opposing it in many parts of the US. In some states, support for the practice remains strong - protesters in San Francisco have just lost their battle to have it banned. The World Health Organization says circumcision can help prevent HIV and that, if done properly, there is little chance of complications. But here in the Netherlands, some doctors disagree. Gert van Dijk is a medical ethicist and one of the authors of the RDMA's anti-circumcision advice. 'We feel circumcision is a medically unnecessary form of surgery. The patient has to give consent, but children can't give consent and we feel that is wrong and a violation of the child's rights,"" he said. ""In our code of medical ethics, it states that you must not do harm to the patient, but with this procedure this is exactly what you're doing."" The RDMA are fighting against what is a deeply entrenched religious practice. It is written in the Islamic text the Hadith that Muslim men should ""cut the things that grow"". Ibrahim Wijbenga is a Muslim member of the Christian Democratic Appeal in the city of Eindhoven. He was circumcised as a child and, following the family tradition, he had his son circumcised too. Ibrahim thinks claims that these discussions are medically motivated are nonsense and is campaigning to save the practice. ""It's not that we do something illegal or that we use a rusty knife. The boys in question are anaesthetised so they are looked after by the doctors. ""The motivation is plain Islamophobia. It's not a discussion about medical ethics, it's to make a lot of bad propaganda against Muslims and about our way of life and our religion,"" Mr Wijbenga said. ""Basically, it's an effort to stop Muslims from entering Holland."" Jews, too, fear these anti-circumcision discussions are a serious threat to their faith. ""It's written in the Torah, in the Bible, that we should circumcise the child when the child is 8 days old. What God tells us to do, we must do,"" said Rabbi Jacobs, one of the Netherlands' most senior religious leaders. He said that being advised not to circumcise babies would have a dramatic impact on the estimated 30,000 Jews living in the Netherlands. For him, it is worse than being told they cannot cultivate kosher meat. 'I can import (kosher meat) or choose to not eat it, but with circumcision I'm stuck. Even if I take my child to a different country to do it, once I come back the doctor will see that there has been a circumcision and put me in jail. ""If you interfere with this practice, it will totally end the Dutch Jewry in the Netherlands."" Even within the Jewish community, some - albeit a tiny minority - believe circumcision can leave a lasting psychological as well as a physical scar. ""He's grabbed, his legs are pulled apart, and they cut off part of his penis. Now what does it do to the boy's mind? I think it's wrong. I think boys or men have to decide for themselves."" Michael Schaap is speaking from experience. His Jewish parents had him circumcised as a baby. He believes it is ""morally wrong to cut off any part of another person's body when there is no medical reason to do it. It's mutilation"". Michael made the controversial documentary ""Mum, Why Was I Circumcised?"" partly motivated by the anger he felt throughout his teenage years. ""When you do it with a boy, there's no way back. I don't know how sex would be with a prepuce. It made me angry that somebody else decided for me, to do something that I probably would not have done if I was deciding for myself."" Politicians here in The Hague have yet to respond to this increasingly intense public debate, which coincides with the imminent outlawing of ritual slaughter and the proposed burka ban. Now many Muslims and Jews are concerned their fundamental traditions are under threat and that circumcision may be the next element of religious freedom to be withdrawn.

+"Lawyers for the 15-year-old have also begun proceedings against Google and Twitter. The lawsuit centres on publicity surrounding his arrest last month by police probing a major hack into the phone and broadband provider's website. Details of the case emerged after some reporting restrictions were lifted. The three newspapers defending the action - The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail and The Sun - all gave undertakings to protect the boy's identity pending the outcome of the case. The judge at the High Court in Belfast also granted injunctions against Google and Twitter in a bid to remove any online references to the teenager's name and address, and images or information about his physical appearance. The boy was among four people to be detained in connection with the TalkTalk hacking probe. He was interviewed on suspicion of offences under the Computer Misuse Act before being released on bail. Since then, his lawyers have issued writs claiming negligence, misuse of private information, defamation, breach of confidence and data protection. As part of their action, they took legal steps to secure the removal of material published about the boy and where he lived. The court heard that his family has had to move home after the publicity around his arrest. It was claimed that he could be identified from newspaper articles and photographs that appeared at the time. A barrister for the boy said the content contributed to his client being ""stigmatised"" within his community. He said the teenager's name also featured in tweets and online searches. During one of a number of hearings in the case, a lawyer for the Daily Mail rejected claims that it had revealed his identity. She said the newspaper altered the boy's appearance and changed his hair colour in the photo it used. She said his name and address had not been published, and added: ""It's our client's view that they did not identify the plaintiff."" A temporary ban on reporting on the application for an injunction was imposed over fears that it could trigger further internet searches. But after steps by Google and Twitter to remove the information, reporting restrictions were relaxed.

+"Kim Jong-nam, who has lived abroad for years, made his comments in a rare interview with a Japanese newspaper. Kim Jong-il is apparently preparing his youngest son as his successor. Succession fears have fuelled tensions on the Korean peninsula. The current stand-off follows the North's shelling of a South Korean island in November. On Friday, North Korea called for parliamentary talks on how ""to settle the grave situation prevailing between the North and the South."" This request was rejected by Seoul as it ""lacked sincerity"", the unification ministry said. However, the two Koreas have agreed to bilateral military talks on the fatal attack on Yeongpeong island and the sinking in March of a South Korean warship, widely blamed on a North Korean torpedo attack - although the North strongly denies any role. Seoul has also proposed separate talks on Pyongyang's renewed pledges on its nuclear disarmament. Kim Jong-il's eldest son was interviewed in mid-January by the Tokyo Shimbun. Hereditary succession ""does not fit with socialism, and my father was against it as well,"" he was quoted as saying in the article, which was published on Friday. ""My understanding is that (succession) was to stabilise the internal system. An unstable North Korea leads to instability in the region."" He said he wanted his youngest half-brother to ""take over the great works my father has done. I want him to enrich people's lives,"" he said. He said: ""North Korea should pay attention to reform and openness. If it continues like this, it cannot become an economic power. He added that what the North desired most was the ""normalisation of ties with the US"" and peace on the peninsula. Kim Jong-nam, who is mainly based in Macau, is believed to have missed out on being chosen as the next leader because of his flamboyant lifestyle. He was also caught trying to enter Japan in 2001 on a false passport. The ailing North Korean leader - who took over the country from his father after his death in 1994 - is seen as setting up the transfer of power to his youngest son Kim Jong-un.

+"The Theatre and the Hope were the first and last playhouses built in Elizabethan London. They join the Rose and the Globe as protected monuments to 16th and 17th Century theatre. The sites of three bear-baiting pits in the Bankside area have been listed. For more stories on archaeology follow our Pinterest board The Theatre was built in 1576-77 by James Burbage on the junction of Curtain Road and New Inn Yard in Hackney and a number of companies, including the Lord Chamberlain's Company which included William Shakespeare, were associated with it. It is believed to have been the first playhouse in which Hamlet was performed, in 1596 with Richard Burbage as the lead. Christopher Marlow's Faustus is thought to have first been put on at the theatre in 1592. After a financial dispute, Burbage's sons dismantled the theatre in late December 1598 and moved reusable parts south of the Thames to Bankside for use in construction of their new venture, the Globe. The remains of the Theatre now lie beneath a modern mixed-use building in Hackney. The Hope was the last of the playhouses of the era, opening in approximately 1614 after Philip Henslowe and two partners entered a contract to replace ""the Bear Gardens"" with a new building that would be a joint theatre and bear-baiting arena. The first play performed there was Ben Jonson's Bartholomew Fair but animal baiting and other entertainment gradually eclipsed the plays and the acting company left the Hope in 1617. It was ordered to close down by Parliament in 1643 but continued to operate until it was dismantled in 1656. The remains of the Hope are located beneath a car park on the southern side of Riverside House on Southwark Bridge Road.

The UK rate is currently 20% though is due to be cut to 19% in 2017 and then to 18% in 2020.

+"Tests on animals, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, showed healing times could be cut by nearly a third. Experts said the early results were ""quite impressive"" but needed to be tested on people. More than 200,000 people in the UK have chronic wounds which can take weeks to heal. Ultrasound is already used to heal some bone injuries. A team from the Universities of Sheffield and Bristol tried the technology on mice with chronic wounds, which do not close readily and often become infected. Pressure sores from lying or sitting in the same position for too long, and diabetic foot ulcers which can lead to amputation, are both types of chronic wound. They become more common when we age due to a decline in our body's ability to repair itself. The high frequency sound waves physically vibrate cells in and around the wound. The process effectively wakes up the cells to make them more responsive to the wound. The study showed that in both old and diabetic mice, healing times were reduced from nine to six days. The report said ultrasound was ""restoring healing rates to those observed in young healthy animals"". In the tests the team were treating the wounds before they become chronic, so they will need to test the power of ultrasound on wounds that have been there for weeks. Dr Mark Bass, one of the researchers from Sheffield University, told the BBC News website: ""At the moment, treatment is based around stopping the infection and hoping it heals, with ultrasound we are promoting the healing of the wound."" ""It's activating the normal healing process, that's why it's an attractive therapy; the ultrasound is simply waking up cells to do what they do normally."" The researchers now need to study the approach in people, which they expect to do in the next year. ""We're looking at 200,000 patients currently with a chronic wound, all those may well benefit from the technology,"" Dr Bass said. The researchers are using broadly the same equipment that is used in an ultrasound scan during pregnancy. Dr John Connelly, from Queen Mary, University of London, said: ""They're getting almost complete reversal of impaired wound healing which is quite impressive."" So does it have potential as a treatment? ""I think it could, but that's a major question as wound healing is quite different between humans and mice,"" he said.

The lead bank is Royal Bank of Scotland, which recently provided Connaught with a further ?¡ê15m in an attempt to keep the group going. Connaught ran into serious difficulties over the past couple of months, after it emerged that a series of contracts would be lossmaking. The management, under a new chairman, Sir Roy Gardner, the chairmen of Compass, the catering giant, has tried to put together a rescue plan. However its bank creditors have decided instead to put the business in administration, under UK insolvency procedures. In spite of the severity of the economic crisis that engulfed the UK in 2008, few listed businesses have collapsed. In that sense, Connaught, a FTSE 250 company which at one stage had a market value of well over ?¡ê500m, is unusual.

The glitch can shut down the engine and electrical system while the car is in motion, but Mr Elfstrom said they would then both restart immediately. The glitch had been reported by drivers of new Volvos who said the engine could cut out without warning, creating a brief absence of steering and braking.

Police believe Mr Nunes was a drug dealer who was shot in an execution-style killing in Pattingham after straying into another gang's territory. But the men jailed for his murder were freed after it emerged concerns over the credibility of witnesses were not disclosed to the defence.

Since the rig ran aground off Lewis on Monday, salvors have only been able to make a short assessment of its condition. More than 12,000 gallons of diesel oil have been lost from its tanks. On Sunday, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said rope technicians had created ""a safe alternative access"" to the rig. The salvors intend to make the rig habitable so they can remain on it overnight. Work is also being done to provide a supply line so the team can get equipment and supplies on board. In a statement, MCA said the salvors would look at the rig's diesel oil tanks to examine how fuel might be transferred to other unbreached tanks before any operation to refloat the rig begins. Survey work is also being carried out to identify the safest route to move the rig when the time comes. Another aircraft is being brought in to help with the work. Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, said: ""Once the assessment is under way, we'll have a much better idea of what we are dealing with, which will mean a more detailed salvage plan can be drawn up and put into place.

+"Barton's in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, operated buses from 1908 to 1989. From 2008 the former bus depot hosted outdoor cinemas, comedy nights, gigs and other events. The Prince's Foundation charity, involved in the project, said it was helping to create a ""new community"" on the edge of Nottingham. When it was founded, the fourth-generation family business was one of the first bus firms in Britain. Its first service was between Long Eaton, Derbyshire, and the Nottingham Goose Fair in October, 1908. During World War One, workers were transported to and from the nearby National Shell Filling Factory. In 1930, it operated the first diesel-engine passenger-carrying road vehicle. Twenty years later it had a fleet of over 280. Bus deregulation in the 1980s rendered the firm uncompetitive and the transport arm was sold off to rival Trent, which still operates in the East Midlands as Trent Barton. From then Barton's focused on property investment. From its centenary year to 2014, the building in High Road hosted a series of events.

+"The Commons Defence Committee said it was ""insulting"" and damaged the integrity of military honours. MPs urged support for a private member's bill which would make wearing unauthorised medals a criminal offence, punishable by prison or a ?¡ê5,000 fine. The Ministry of Defence said misusing medals for financial gain could already be punished as fraud. The unauthorised wearing of medals was previously made illegal by Winston Churchill after World War One. But when the new Armed Forces Act came into force in 2006, provisions relating to military decorations were not carried over. The Ministry of Defence, which gave evidence to the committee, argued that there had been problems with the way the original legislation was drafted. Anyone improperly using medals for financial gain would be caught by the Fraud Act which carried higher penalties, said the MoD. The defence committee's report, entitled Exposing Walter Mitty, said such laws were ""commonplace"" in other countries and that the unauthorised wearing of medals constituted ""a harm that is worthy of specific criminal prohibition"". Explaining the title of the report, the committee's chairman Julian Lewis, said: ""Those who seek public admiration by pretending to have risked their lives are contemptible fantasists who need to be deterred."" The committee said the impersonators damaged the bond of trust and respect between the public and the armed forces. ""We conclude that there is a tangible and identifiable harm created by military impostors against members of society who should rightly be held in its highest esteem,"" it added. ""Therefore, we believe that specific prohibitions to mitigate this harm are justified.""

""I really would like everyone behind us,"" he told the Portsmouth News. ""I don't want a contentious acquisition."" Since exiting administration in 2013, the Pompey Supporters' Trust (PST) has owned 48% of Portsmouth's shares. Eisner and his Tornante Investment Group are currently in a 70-day negotiation and due diligence period with the club. His revamped club board would no longer include three PST members, but would instead be a heritage board. It would possess a veto on any attempts at changing the club's name, colours or moving further than 15 miles from Portsmouth city centre. ""I'm sure there are people out there who don't want this to happen, but I hope they are few and far between,"" Eisner said. ""The way Portsmouth and the Trust brought this team out of receivership and how they have managed it in the last four years and stuck with it is extremely impressive. ""My investment is in moving the club forward. That is a large investment and I am prepared to do that."" The PST said it would be ""inappropriate at this stage"" to respond publicly to Eisner's proposals, which he is due to present to the board and shareholders before the end of the season.

The advice comes before a review of banking by the industry's regulator. Next month the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is due to publish the provisional findings from its investigation into current accounts and banking services to smaller businesses. Both Which? and Tesco Bank are calling for greater transparency in bank charges for services such as overdrafts. In response, the banking industry said the cost of banking was falling, while customer satisfaction was rising. Which? showed people different accounts and only a small minority were able to identify the cheapest overdraft. The consumer group wants the CMA to look at how people use their accounts and the quality of customer service. It is calling for the banks to ensure: Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said, ""With few consumers moving their finances to different providers, and the existing big banks continuing to hold substantial market power, the inquiry must look beyond ideas to improve information and switching. ""When it reports next month the CMA should propose changes that will incentivise banks to better respond to the needs of their customers.""

+"The implication of remarks by an IMF official is that it is very unlikely to provide funds at the first stage. The fund could, however, join in later, provided both the eurozone and Athens take steps to address IMF concerns. The problem for the IMF is that its staff believe the elements so far agreed are not enough to make the Greek government's debt sustainable. Negotiations are under way and the IMF is involved. But its staff think the eurozone governments need to give Greece debt relief. That does not have to be in the form of explicit reductions in the outstanding debt. It could mean longer repayment terms and delays before any payments are required - so-called grace periods. The eurozone has insisted that it is only prepared to look at the possibility after Greece has made a start on implementing whatever conditions will be agreed. The IMF official also said Greece needs to commit itself to further reforms if it is to make the debt situation sustainable. He didn't spell out what they were. But they will involve reforms to the government finances to control spending and maintain tax revenue. They will also cover what are called structural reforms, to remove barriers to economic growth. Faster growth would generate more tax revenue to help make the debt situation sustainable. Neither Greece nor the eurozone are ready to take those steps, the official suggested. The implication then is that Greece and the eurozone will find it very hard to persuade the IMF to stump up any cash at the start, though it might be willing to do so if there is debt relief and further reform later. The immediate significance of the IMF's position is political. If the bailout talks do produce an agreement to provide financial assistance from the eurozone bailout agency, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), it will still need approval by some parliaments, including Germany's Bundestag. Many members, including some from Chancellor Angela Merkel's own party, are very unhappy about a third bailout for Greece. There is a much better chance of persuading them to acquiesce if the IMF is on board. Financially, the IMF is less critical. It is the eurozone that has provided the great bulk of the resources for the first two bailouts and would do so with the third. It could afford to find the full expected €86bn (¡ê60bn) if really necessary. The ESM has the capacity to make €455bn of new loans  at present.

+"The Committee on Standards in Public Life insisted the move had not been solely prompted by the ex-chancellor. Mr Osborne has faced calls to quit as an MP over his outside interests, which also include a role at a bank. The Standards Committee was set up in 1995 following corruption scandals. It does not have the power to block individual MPs from taking extra jobs - but it could change their code of conduct on outside interests. The Commons standards committee is separately looking at a possible crackdown on MPs working while the Commons is sitting, which could scupper Mr Osborne's latest career move. And a third committee is investigating whether Mr Osborne's new role is a conflict of interest with his former job as chancellor. The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOB) - can advise former ministers not to take up new jobs for up to two years if it deems them to be a reward or favour - but it has no formal powers to block appointments. ACOB has cleared Mr Osborne's other new roles, while advising him not to use insider knowledge and contacts gained at the Treasury. Mr Osborne shocked the media and political worlds when he announced he would be working four days a week as editor of the London newspaper - despite a lack of journalistic experience - at the same time as being MP for Tatton, in Cheshire. He has argued that it is important for the Commons to include people with ""different experiences"". He is far from the only MP to have outside interests - more than 100 MPs do other work apart from representing their constituents, from occasional TV appearances and speeches to running a farm or working as a doctor, dentist, company director or lawyer. Standards in Public Life committee chairman Lord Bew said he had been considering reviewing what the Code of Conduct for MPs should say about second jobs for some time. He called on the public to submit their views on the issue - adding that second jobs had to be within ""reasonable limits"". Second jobs are currently deemed ""OK"" by the committee if voters know about them ""at the moment of the election,"" he said.

Speaking before the operation, Sophie's father, John, said: ""It's to give her a bit more confidence in herself, a wee bit more freedom."" During the surgery Sophie's body was wired up to numerous monitors. This allowed the doctors to see how her body reacts when they stimulate the nerve roots in her spine. Neurosurgeon Benedetta Pettorini can then decide which nerve roots to cut, and which to leave alone.

After midnight they'd be subject to arrest. States of emergency were called throughout coastal New England. Amtrak north of New York gave up the fight early in the evening and stopped its train service. Has Winter Storm Juno been big and bad enough to justify that build-up? In New York City, definitely not.  Out here in south-eastern New England ... well, you decide. By 9:30pm, we had snow big-time. By 11pm, blasts of white fury hammered at my windows. Outside the winds whipped the rapidly accumulating inches into tall drifts forcing the few walkers - people with dogs - to negotiate a scape of peaks and valleys.  Vehicular traffic had vanished. In central Providence the electricity held - hence we had cable TV to keep us somewhat distracted. Through the night, however, winds would periodically bang at the windows to remind those snuggling indoors that Juno was still on a rampage. By 7am on Tuesday, there was daylight of sorts. Thousands of Rhode Islanders were without electricity, as was the entire island of Nantucket And the snow kept coming - sideways.

Wilson, 42, was accused by Scotland Yard of flying the aircraft unmanned and ""failing to maintain direct visual contact"". The charges he admitted included flying the drone on: The court heard police horses were startled by Wilson's device as it flew over a Champions League group stage game between Liverpool and Bulgarian visitors Ludogorets at Anfield. He was also twice arrested in London and had his drones confiscated. District Judge Quentin Purdy told Wilson, a security guard, he had put the public at risk by flying the drones over busy, built-up areas.

Mr Davidson died of two stab wounds to the chest that penetrated his heart, and his mother found his body in his living room in Bangor later that day. As well as the prison sentence, the judge said Bustard will spend four years on licence after his release. Bustard, originally from Bangor but whose address was given as Bush Park in Antrim, and his girlfriend Meabh Farrell were arrested in a pub in Bangor the day after the stabbing, Downpatrick Crown Court, sitting in Belfast, had previously heard. He told police he had acted in self-defence after Mr Davidson had attacked him. During interviews with police Bustard said he had been with the victim for 36 hours in the lead-up to the stabbing. He claimed he was punched and struck on the head with a dumbbell by Mr Davidson when they were in the victim's house. He said he then ""jabbed"" Mr Davidson once in the ribs with a knife, but that claim was ""in direct contrast to the results of the post mortem,"" prosecutors said. A defence barrister said he had been ""specifically instructed"" by Mr Bustard to make a ""complete and unqualified apology"" Mr Davidson's family and friends. But he added that the fatal stabbing ""occurred in the throes of an attack"" on Bustard, and that he was under the influence of drugs at the time of the stabbing. The judge said Mr Davidson's death had a ""horrendous"" impact on the victim's mother and that her life ""has been turned upside down"".

+"Redrow chairman Steve Morgan said the ""crazy"" introduction of sprinklers next year and social housing demands mean it is not viable to build in some areas. The Welsh government said planning has been streamlined and councils are responsible for affordable housing. More than 6,100 homes were completed in Wales last year, according to figures. This was up on the previous year. The increase was fuelled partly by the Welsh government's Help to Buy scheme but Mr Morgan believes this will reduce. He also said local authorities insist on 30% of developments having social housing. And he claimed the introduction of sprinklers in new homes from January will make every property around ?¡ê4,000 more expensive. ""There are whole swathes of Wales - north Wales and south Wales - where we can no longer get a return,"" he told BBC Wales. Ministers have said Help to Buy will be extended but have not said when or for how long. They also revealed figures which showed they had achieved 91% of their target to provide 10,000 additional affordable homes this Assembly term, with over a year to go. A total of 2,218 affordable homes were built in Wales in 2014/15, bringing the total number provided since 2011 to 9,108. Minister for Communities Lesley Griffiths said: ""Boosting housing supply not only creates much-needed homes, but also provides jobs and training opportunities in the construction industry"". House builders criticise the planning process as being too lengthy and too slow and, they say, it costs a lot more to build in Wales compared to England because of extra red tape. And houses sell for less in Wales than most parts of England so all this eats into profits. Nevertheless, there has been signs of a turn around recently. Last year, the number of house building increased by a third to almost 5,000. But Steve Morgan says we can expect that to drop soon, not least because of the extra cost of fitting sprinklers to all new properties. The Welsh government says there are already planning measures coming into place with a new planning law that will allow a consistent approach across the councils. They also say that 30% affordable housing is not a requirement from them as it's up to local councils to, ultimately, make that decision and that they do encourage them to be flexible.","Fewer homes will soon be built in Wales because of increasing red tape and @placeholder , according to the boss of one of the biggest companies in Wales .",issues,theft,regulation,losses,conditions

Asked if he would be interested, Ferguson told BBC Scotland: ""Of course, I've said that before. ""That's my club. That's where I was from an eight-year-old kid. I spent 20 years of my life at Rangers."" Ferguson left Rangers for a second time in 2009 to join Birmingham City and had his first taste of coaching as caretaker manager of Blackpool. The 39-year-old resigned last month following three years with Clyde after a poor run of Scottish League Two results meant his side were destined to miss out on the promotion play-offs. Ferguson had made no secret of the fact that he found coaching part-time players frustrating and would relish a chance to coach at a higher level. But he insisted that ""I've had no contact whatsoever"" while stressing that ""it is a club that means a lot to me"". Ferguson had previously said that he believed he thought he could help instil some missing passion into a side sitting third in the Scottish Premiership at the time of Mark Warburton's departure. However, he was impressed with the 1-1 draw they achieved against leaders Celtic under caretaker manager Graeme Murty. ""I saw plenty of passion on Sunday from the team,"" said Ferguson. ""I don't know whether that was because there's a new manager sitting in the stand and they want to impress him. ""He would not have taken the job if there was not a bit of finance to go and get his own players, so for the next two months, those players are playing for their futures."" Caixinha, who has signed a three-year contract after leaving Qatari club Al-Gharafa, held his first news conference as manager on Monday and Ferguson liked what he heard from the 46-year-old Portuguese. ""I thought his interview was good,"" said the former Rangers and Scotland midfielder of the media conference.

+"Primary debates, where political parties choose their presidential candidates, regularly feature seven or more participants. As the discussion heats up it becomes increasingly important for the moderator to give equal time to each, but does this end up being the case? Research into the 2012 Republican presidential candidate debates by Dr. Eric Ostermeier from the University of Minnesota shows that it's not. He painstakingly monitored how much time each participant was allowed to speak for in each debate. Answers in the debate are generally limited to one minute each, with rebuttals limited to 30 seconds.  However, one seven-way Republican debate in 2011 saw Mitt Romney speaking for a total of 17 minutes 22 seconds. Newt Gingrich on the other hand spoke for only 8 minutes 23 seconds. That's around twice the amount of time to promote policy and engage with viewers. Some in the US believe that the media deliberately favours the frontrunners. Indeed, Romney spoke for the longest amount of time in six of the nine monitored debates and went on to win the nomination. While there's no proven link between the two, it certainly doesn't look like a level playing field. What's the truth behind the politicians' claims on the campaign trail?

+"Insurers and business organisations met in Downing Street on Tuesday to thrash out how to help businesses and homeowners as quickly as possible. The wettest January on record and continuing rain in early February could have major financial consequences as insurers are obliged to fund a substantial repair operation. Severe flooding in the UK is not unusual. In 2007 there was extensive damage in several urban areas including Hull and Tewkesbury. The insurance bill for this year's flooding could well end up a lot lower than the payouts required seven years ago. Between May and July 2007, England and Wales experienced the wettest conditions in 200 years. Nearly 50,000 households were affected. So far, about 5,000 homes are believed to have been affected in the current floods, although that figure is likely to rise of course. According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI) there were payouts of ¡ê3bn as a result of the summer floods in 2007. Across the whole of 2012, flooding caused damage worth ¡ê4bn. The ABI believes storms at the end of December and over the New Year have generated bills of ¡ê426m. According to the insurer Hiscox, the latest floods could, if they continue for a couple more weeks, result in payouts of about ¡ê1bn. This would still be well short of the claims seven years ago. Insurance experts at the consultancy firm Deloitte concur with that figure. But they warn that consumers will probably have to pay higher premiums as a result of the latest flooding. Experts say the final bills will depend on how long the wet weather lasts, and how many more households and businesses suffer damage to their properties. In terms of disruption to the economy, it is too early to say. Retailers may lose business if rail links are disrupted for some time. That said, some analysts point out that repairs to rail lines and other infrastructure will support economic growth.","With dramatic images of flood damage in the Thames Valley as well as rural Somerset , inevitably there is @placeholder about the clean up costs .",debate,worry,cautious,uncertainty,speculation
+"GTA creator Take-Two issued a ""cease and desist"" letter to Open IV toolkit's creators, saying it aided piracy. Open IV's Russian developers said they did not have time or energy to go to court so have stopped distributing it. Gamers have filled GTA forums with criticism of Take-Two for shutting down the long-running mod toolkit. One player said he hoped the legal claim was a joke, another said it was a ""sad day"" for GTA fans and a third said Take-Two had removed a ""massive selling point"" for the PC version of GTA. ""Almost ten years of my life were dedicated to @OpenIV and now this time is over,"" tweeted Open IV lead developer Good-NTS after deciding to shut down the project. In a message posted to the GTA Forums website, Good-NTS said the team had received a ""cease and desist"" letter on 5 June alleging that it allowed ""third parties to defeat security features of its software and modify that software in violation Take-Two's rights"". He wrote that fighting the claim in court would take months of time and effort and, even if they won, would not help the company more forward. ""Spending time just to restore status quo is really unproductive, and all the money in the world can't compensate the loss of time,"" he said. As a result, Open IV would no longer be available for download. Anyone using the kit is now greeted with a message explaining what has happened when they start up a modified version of GTA. Players are urged to uninstall the software to ""avoid possible legal issues"". The kit has proved hugely popular as it let people who own the single-player version of the game fiddle with its data files to customise objects, models and textures.

+"In beating a bout of H1N1 the body makes antibodies that can kill many other flu strains, a study in the Journal of Experimental Medicine shows. Doctors hope to harness this power to make a universal flu vaccine that would protect against any type of influenza. Ultimately this could replace the ""best guess"" flu vaccines currently used. Such a vaccine is the ""holy grail"" for flu researchers. Many scientists are already testing different prototypes to put an end to the yearly race to predict coming flu strains and quickly mass produce a new vaccine each flu season. Dr Patrick Wilson who led the latest research said the H1N1 swine flu virus that reached pandemic levels infecting an estimated 60 million people last year, had provided a unique opportunity for researchers. ""It demonstrates how to make a single vaccine that could potentially provide immunity to all influenza. ""The surprise was that such a very different influenza strain, as opposed to the most common strains, could lead us to something so widely applicable."" In the nine patients they studied who had caught swine flu during the pandemic, they found the infection had triggered the production of a wide range of antibodies that are only very rarely seen after seasonal flu infections or flu vaccination. Five antibodies isolated by the team could fight all the seasonal H1N1 flu strains from the last decade, the devastating ""Spanish flu"" strain from 1918 which killed up to 50m people, plus a potentially deadly bird flu H5N1 strain. The researchers believe the ""extraordinarily"" powerful antibodies were created as the body learned how to fight the new infection with swine flu using its old memory of how to fight off other flu viruses. Next they plan to examine the immune response of people who were vaccinated against last year's swine flu but did not get sick to see if they too have the same super immunity to flu. Dr Sarah Gilbert is a expert in viruses at Oxford University and has been testing her own prototype universal flu vaccine. She said: ""Many scientists are working to develop a vaccine that would protect against the many strains of flu virus. ""This work gives us more confidence that it will be possible to generate a universal flu vaccine."" But she said it would take many years for a product to go through the necessary tests and trials. ""It will take at least five years before anything like this could be widely available.""

+"The study, in Environmental Health Perspectives, looked at more than three million births in nine nations. The effect was small and individuals should not be alarmed, but there was a notable impact on the population as a whole, the researchers said. Low birth weight babies have a higher risk of health problems and death. The majority survive but have an increased risk of developing conditions such as diabetes and heart disease as adults. The International Collaboration on Air Pollution and Pregnancy Outcomes (ICAPPO), by Prof Tracey Woodruff and colleagues at the University California, San Francisco, focused on airborne particulate matter small enough to penetrate the human respiratory tract. The findings indicated the relationship between birth weight and pollution was dose related - the higher the exposure, the lower the average birth weight. Prof Woodruff said: ""What's significant is that these are air pollution levels to which practically everyone in the world is commonly exposed."" Prof Kevin McConway, a statistician at the Open University said, based on the findings, if Newcastle were to halve its current particulate air pollution level it would lead to two or three fewer low weight babies out of the total 3,500 or so born in the city each year. He said: ""That sort of reduction might well be worth having, but it's not something that pregnant mothers should lose sleep over, I'd say."" Dr Tony Fletcher, senior lecturer in Environmental Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: ""The study is of excellent quality and the conclusions are clear. While the average effect on each baby is small and so should not alarm individual prospective parents, for the whole population these small risks add up across millions of people."" The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said even though air quality in the UK is ""generally good, more needs to be done, especially in the cities, to reduce the harmful effects of air pollution"".","Pregnant women who live in areas with significant air pollution risk having babies of low birth weight , the largest study to date @placeholder .",occurred,service,suggests,documented,exists

""He had a very engaging personality,"" the 68-year-old said. ""He seemed passionate about what he wanted to do, and he has done what he told me he was going to do - he has injected many, many millions of pounds into Leyton Orient. ""It is just that putting the money in, and spending it wisely are not always the same things."" A meeting of the Leyton Orient Fans' Trust (Loft) on Thursday night agreed on what the group calls ""a last-resort measure"" to try to save the relegation-threatened club. Should Becchetti not pay the tax bill before the court date, then at the winding-up hearing the fans would seek the appointment of an administrator, despite the fact it would mean the club being deducted 12 points under English Football League rules.

+"The events attracted huge crowds, many demanding that the spectacle, known as jallikattu, must be legalised permanently and not just provisionally. Subduing angry bulls has long been practised in the state as a sport and is a key part of the harvest festival. The Indian Supreme Court banned it in 2014, ruling it was cruel to animals. But the central government on Saturday temporarily cleared the way for bullfighting events to resume in Tamil Nadu, bypassing a Supreme Court ban. It did so by issuing a six-month executive order that removed bulls from the purview of the law. Animals rights groups are imminently expected to appeal against the move. Various activities involving bulls have taken place throughout the weekend, with two people reported to have been killed while holding on to a bucking bull on Sunday. Events took place throughout the state including the state capital Chennai (Madras), where protesters on Marina beach demanded the full scale legalisation of jallikattu.

As well as those killed on Saturday, at least another 50 rebels and 40 pro-government troops were reported to have been wounded. Tribal sources said there was an upsurge in fighting early on Saturday as government forces - which are being backed by a Saudi-led coalition - advanced towards the Red Sea port of Midi and rebels brought in reinforcements. Houthi and government delegates have been meeting in Biel in Switzerland to try to end months of fighting. Rebels have accused Yemeni and Saudi-led coalition forces of repeatedly breaching the ceasefire, which is meant to last for a week. The Saudi-led coalition launched a military campaign in March in support of the government after Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and advanced towards the second city of Aden. Since then, at least 5,700 people, almost half of them civilians, have been killed in air strikes and clashes on the ground.

+"The Celtic boss spoke after his side's 3-3 Champions League draw with Premier League leaders Manchester City. ""There's no doubt Celtic are a major threat to nearly every English club,"" said the former Liverpool boss. The EFL announced last week that no Scottish clubs would be invited into any expanded set up in the future. ""If Celtic were in England, they would be in the top four/top six clubs there,"" said Rodgers. ""If you are another club playing in that league or Championship, or League One, would you want that type of threat coming in? I don't think you'd want it and that's the reality. ""It is going to be difficult for Celtic to be in the English pyramid system because of the sheer scale of the club. Most of our games are packed out now. ""Can you imagine Celtic with that resource? Then it can go as far as it wants then. It would be frightening prospect but an exciting prospect."" Rodgers also said that the performance against Manchester City provided proof that the Champions League should not become a closed shop to all but clubs with the biggest finances. ""Wednesday was a perfect example of that,"" said the manager, whose side bounced back from an opening 7-0 defeat by Barcelona. ""After the Barcelona game, there were critics, which is natural when you lose so heavily. ""But I think, when you put it into perspective, there has to be opportunities for clubs like Celtic - one of the great clubs of world football - to play in this competition and the competition is better for a club like Celtic being in it. ""I know League One clubs that probably have greater resources than Celtic, but that shouldn't stop us having an opportunity."" Following pressure from Europe's richest clubs, Uefa agreed in August to guarantee each of the continent's top four domestic leagues four places each in the group stage. However, Rodgers thinks Celtic proved that they deserved the opportunity to be in Europe's elite club competition. ""It was an incredible advert for Glasgow Celtic,"" he said of the draw with Pep Guardiola's City. ""Manchester City, competing in the most competitive league in world football with the most resources in world football, won 10 out of their 10 games and came up to here and had without question the hardest game they've had all season.

Police say they made the arrests during crime prevention operations. The authorities have been under pressure to both bring an end to the attacks on foreigners and to introduce tighter immigration controls. The African migrants detained at the Lindela repatriation centre, 25km (15 miles) west of Johannesburg, were due to be deported on Wednesday, reports the BBC's Nomsa Maseko. They had been arrested over the past few weeks during night time raids in and around Johannesburg. But their deportation has been halted for at least two weeks after the organisation Lawyers for Human Rights went to the Johannesburg High Court to prevent it from taking place. Latest African news updates The lawyers have also been given permission to consult with their clients after being barred from doing so by the government. This will give the lawyers time to get a list of names of those who have been arrested, and check if they are in the country as asylum seekers. The raids come after a wave of xenophobic attacks in April which affected major cities in South Africa. At least seven people were killed, 5,000 left homeless and many foreign-owned shops were looted in the attacks. Campaign group Right to Know called the mass arrests of suspected illegal migrants ""state-funded xenophobia"".

+"Not only was she taking on the controversial immigration brief, she was also about to become Italy's first black minister. But perhaps even Ms Kyenge has been surprised by the ferocity of the backlash. She has been repeatedly subjected to racist slurs of the crudest kind. The latest came over the weekend from a vice-president of Italy's Senate, Roberto Calderoli, a prominent member of the anti-immigration Northern League party. Addressing its supporters he said; ""I love animalsa€| but when I see pictures of Kyenge I cannot but think of - even if I'm not saying she is one - the features of an orangutan."" He went on to say that Ms Kyenge was attracting illegal immigrants to Italy, and that she should be a minister in her ""own country"". This is fairly typical of the kind of abuse that has been directed at the minister by Northern League activists. One accused her of wanting to impose ""tribal traditions"" on Italy. And another actually went so far as to call for Ms Kyenge to be raped so that she would understand what someone who might be raped by an immigrant might go through. Ms Kyenge, the one prominent black figure in parliament, seems to have become the focus of a very large amount of the openly racist sentiment in the Italian political arena. So far she has coped with considerable dignity. Amid the furore over his ""orangutan"" remark, Mr Calderoli was forced to apologise. Ms Kyenge accepted this but said that if Mr Calderoli could not translate his views into proper political discourse he should perhaps step aside as the Senate's vice-president. In the background to all this lies some quite profound social change. Italy is now having to absorb larger numbers of immigrants. Back in 2000 there were only about one million of them here. Today there are about five million - about 8% of the population. And right now, with so many Italian families of all backgrounds finding it difficult to cope economically, perhaps tensions are inevitable. As Ms Kyenge herself put it: ""Some people are struggling to accept that the country has changed."" Professor James Walston of the American University in Rome, who analyses Italian attitudes towards race, wrote recently in his blog: ""To these people a woman like Cecile Kyenge would be acceptable if she was a docile house servant on the lines of the 30s Hollywood stereotype. ""The fact that she is a successful eye surgeon and now a self-assured cabinet minister is threatening for them."" The Northern League has set itself against what it calls an ""uncontrollable influx of immigrants"". This is an important part of its electoral platform. And a long-time observer of the party, Professor Roberto Biorcio, of Milan's Bicocca University, sees Mr Calderoli's remarks as part of a calculated effort to focus more on this emotive area. ""I'm under the impression that Calderoli and certain sectors of the league want to draw attention back to the issue of immigration,"" he said. ""As usual, they do it in the most provocative manner - but it has helped them in the past."" Away from the party political fray, casual racism surfaces in many areas of Italian life. Among the gaffes of Silvio Berlusconi during his time as prime minister was a reference to US President Barack Obama as being ""sun tanned"". He dismissed anyone who did not think that this was funny as a ""humourless imbecile"". And racism has repeatedly manifested itself in Italian football. Earlier this year the whole of the AC Milan team walked off the pitch in support of one of their black colleagues who was being subjected to abusive chanting from the stands. But far from the headlines, in the course of everyday life, immigrants talk of being surrounded by racism. ""You hear comments on the bus, in the markets, in schools,"" said Pape Diaw, a leader of the Senegalese community in Florence. ""To think that the Italian people are racist is wrong. But there is... a type of racist mentality.

+"Presenters of Mabat LaHadashot (A Glance At The News) on Channel One complained of being denied a dignified farewell after 49 years on air. An earlier show's presenter choked back tears after learning of the news. The cancellations came as parliament approved the closure of the state-run Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA). It will be replaced with a new, smaller entity known as Kan on Monday. The IBA was established in 1948 and held a monopoly on TV and radio broadcasts in the country until the 1990s. Like the BBC, it was funded mainly by licence fees. In 2014, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government announced that the IBA would be replaced with a new public broadcaster that would be less costly. Opponents expressed concern that Mr Netanyahu, who has accused IBA journalists of being overly critical of his right-wing coalition, wanted to control the media. The setting up of Kan was delayed repeatedly and almost abandoned in March. Mr Netanyahu reportedly wanted it scrapped because he was concerned that two officials appointed to senior positions in the new broadcaster were left-leaning. However, the leader of another party in his coalition, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, insisted on pressing ahead. The dispute, which almost led to an early general election being called, was resolved after it was agreed that the two officials would not oversee news. Although they were aware that Kan was scheduled to launch next week, IBA employees had not expected TV and radio broadcasts to cease on Tuesday night. ""We thought of parting a bit differently than this,"" Michal Rabinovich, the lead presenter of Mabat LaHadashot told viewers. Commentator Yaakov Ahimeir called it ""a mark of disgrace on this government"", adding: ""They notify you two hours before going on air that this is the last Mabat. What are we, criminals?"" Retired presenter Haim Yavin blamed Mr Netanyahu for the move, but the prime minister's office insisted on Wednesday that it ""was not done with his knowledge"". ""The prime minister was the one who fought so that the news company of the channel would continue broadcasting with as many workers as possible absorbed into the news body,"" it added. The Haaretz newspaper reports that 440 of the IBA's 1,050 employees have so far been hired by Kan.

+"The ministry described the four-day drill as a ""massive surprise inspection"", to check combat readiness. The tests began on the same day as Nato and some of its partners started an Arctic training exercise. Russia's actions in Ukraine and incursions into Western airspace have led to rising tensions with the West. According to reports on the Russian agencies Interfax and Tass, the inspection of the aviation group and air defence forces in the central military district involves almost 700 weapons and pieces of military hardware. During the exercise, Russia's long-range aircraft are due to carry out cruise missile strikes on practice targets in the Komi republic. The BBC's Caroline Wyatt, in Moscow, says the current drills are in preparation for a larger exercise known as Center-2015 in the next few months. Asked about Russia's assertiveness in a TV interview, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin joked that ""tanks don't need visas"". The outspoken politician is himself on EU and US blacklists as part of sanctions following Russia's annexation of Crimea last year, limiting his travel options. Russia has been heavily criticised in recent months over increased air activity around the Nordic countries, including several reported airspace violations by military aircraft. Nato's two-week training exercise in the region - which began on the same day as Russia's tests - will be based in the north of Norway, Sweden and Finland. It will involve 115 fighter planes and 3,600 troops from nine countries.

+"The decision comes one day before Clayton Lockett, 38, was due to die. Another inmate, Charles Warner, was scheduled to be executed on 29 April. Last month, a judge ruled that the secrecy surrounding the source of the state's lethal injection drugs was unconstitutional. The court decision came as US states are having increasing trouble obtaining drugs used in executions, amid an embargo from European pharmaceutical firms. Critics say the states risk botching executions and causing unnecessary suffering with impure drugs. In January, an execution in Ohio took 25 minutes to complete, as the inmate reportedly gasped and made choking noises in the moments before he was pronounced dead. The state used two untried drugs to kill convicted murderer and rapist Dennis McGuire after the maker of the previous execution drug refused to allow its use. Oklahoma state law blocks officials from revealing - even during court proceedings - the identities of the companies supplying the drugs used to sedate the inmates, paralyse their respiratory systems, and stop their hearts. The challenge to Oklahoma's law was brought by Lockett, who received the death penalty for the 1999 shooting of a 19-year-old woman, and Warner, who was convicted for the 1997 murder and rape of an 11-month-old girl. Oklahoma County district court Judge Patricia Parrish struck down the secrecy law on 26 March, saying the protocol that prevented the inmates from seeking information about the drugs used violated their rights. The state said on 1 April that the men would be executed using midazolam, pancuronium bromide and potassium chloride - a combination never before used in Oklahoma, according to the Associated Press. But the lawyers for the inmates said they had received no information showing that the drugs were ""safe, or to prove that they were acquired legally"". The supreme court stayed the executions on Monday until final determination of the issues surrounding the secrecy law are settled, according to reports.

The Kremlin says that it now considers the dispute to be fully resolved. French President Francois Hollande's office said that Russia will be ""fully reimbursed"" for the two warships. It said that France will keep both vessels. France stopped the planned sale after the outbreak of the conflict in eastern Ukraine. The Kremlin said that France has agreed to pay back money Russia paid under the contract. ""France has already transferred these funds and, after the return of equipment, will acquire ownership and be able to take charge of both ships,"" it said in a statement.

If we were to hold a referendum on the Stormont House Agreement we would have to include boxes for people to tick labelled yes, no, fair wind, qualified support and implement but don't like. It's inevitable, given that most deals are struck between the key players, that the other parties seem relatively happy to let the DUP and Sinn F??in do the heavy lifting. By remaining semi-detached, the UUP and the SDLP give themselves more room for manoeuvre when the Welfare Reform Bill comes to the assembly chamber. Despite unionist concern over the NIO decision to drop the north Belfast parading panel, the DUP isn't giving any indication it will back off on the main tenets of the Stormont House deal. Despite assertions that they caved in over welfare reform, Sinn F??in is showing no sign of having second thoughts. The notion that the corporation tax element of the agreement might be jeopardised raised its head in the Commons this week. But Labour blew cold for a day, before blowing just lukewarm enough to apparently guarantee that the bill enabling businesses taxes to be devolved will become law. Peter Robinson has a point when he objects to commentators redefining all the dates in the Stormont House Agreement as trip wires that might snag the negotiators. The first minister argues the naysayers would have had a field day if there had been no deal, and are now overly keen to probe any weaknesses in the agreement that did emerge. So with Stormont about to elect its first Sinn F??in speaker, it's reasonable to acknowledge that the institutions appear to be in a far more stable state in January 2015 than they were when Mr Robinson made his ""not fit for purpose"" comments back in September 2014. However, the on again, off again speaker saga also illustrates another truth - that deals concluded between parties can be unpicked if the politicians fall out over subsequent developments.

+"There has been continued sniping from ministers about the level of reserves held by higher education institutions. Even the finance minister Jane Hutt couldn't resist having a swipe at the hundreds of millions of pounds in their coffers, before telling Good Morning Wales why she is rolling back on the proposed cutbacks because of concerns over part-time teaching and scientific research. Ministers stressed it was a draft budget and, like all drafts, it was open to consultation before changes were made. Be that as it may, there is clearly strong feeling within government that not only can universities afford it, but that their time has come to take a hit after further education colleges took one last year. Universities insist the reserves are needed for investment to continue and for the sector in Wales to remain internationally competitive. The stand-off between ministers and vice-chancellors was beginning to develop. Opposition parties were frustrated that while many of the higher education bosses were lobbying them heavily, they weren't doing so publicly, with the exception of Professor Colin Riordan, the vice-chancellor of Cardiff university. But nevertheless it was clear that universities weren't happy, and it was adding to the simmering resentment that had already developed over the government's university tuition fee policy. In fact, the general cut and the tuition fees policy became enmeshed because the Welsh government had argued that much of the cash reduction was in fact staying in the system because the money was being re-directed to fee subsidies, rather than going directly to the institutions. The comeback from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales was that only around 60% of the tuition fee grants will stay in Wales as the fees follow the students, wherever they choose to go. In the end, a political decision was taken not to get involved in a scrap with vice-chancellors. As we head into an election campaign, there's an argument to say it would have been a huge distraction but also a potential opportunity for the Welsh government to show it wasn't afraid to make unpopular decisions.

+"In 2009, world leaders met in Copenhagen but got nowhere. I was among the last to leave that summit and delegates were in tears. The glass roof of the conference centre was dark with snow. But since then, a remarkable set of changes has allowed the Paris Agreement to take shape. Paris climate deal enters force as focus shifts to action UN review says carbon plans fall well short of climate goals For a start, the world's two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, China and US, jointly decided to make a serious push. For President Obama, this has always been a priority. And for China the new middle class is demanding an end to the toxic pollution smothering the biggest cities. And that's spurred another shift: renewable energy is falling in price. Out in the deserts of western China, along the ancient Silk Road, I've seen for myself new forests of wind turbines. Recently, China has planted two of them every hour. The Chinese push for renewable energy is the largest the world has ever seen. And look at the global figure for solar panels installed last year - it was half a million every day. A third big change is the involvement of leading companies. A decade ago, it was rare for me to get a corporate press release making a green boast. Now my inbox is bursting with them. On Friday, 10 oil companies announced a one-billion-dollar fund for low-carbon technology - something inconceivable not long ago but, let's be clear, the sum is dwarfed by the money spent developing new sources of oil. So will the Paris Agreement get anywhere? On the one hand, it doesn't oblige any government to cut their greenhouse gases. But, on the other, each country's efforts will be scrutinised every five years. And although the agreement has no teeth, it does represent something unique: the first time that every nation on the planet has signed up to try to head off the worst effects of global warming.","Only seven years ago , the very idea that an international climate agreement would come into force today looked @placeholder .",hopeless,up,promising,ridiculous,real

The campaigners ranged from Greenpeace to Occupy to the consumer advocates Which? and groups focused on very specific issues such as airports expansion. Singled out for most praise were Nestl??, Marks & Spencer and McDonald's. But it was the increased criticism of VW which was one of the most striking findings, according to Sigwatch. ""Volkswagen didn't even figure as an NGO target in 2014. By 2015 they were the top seven most hated company in the world as far as NGOs went,"" Sigwatch managing director Robert Blood told the BBC. ""It's entirely because of 'Dieselgate',"" he said, as pressure groups relaunched campaigns against greenhouse gas emissions with a new focus on VW.

+"Volunteers who used this approach were 25% more likely to remain abstinent half a year from the date that they give up than smokers who tried to gradually wean themselves off instead. The NHS says that picking a convenient date to quit is important. Make a promise, set a date and stick to it, it advises. And sticking to the ""not a drag"" rule can really help too. ""Whenever you find yourself in difficulty say to yourself, 'I will not have even a single drag' and stick with this until the cravings pass,"" the service says. And it recommends seeing a GP to get professional support and advice to give up smoking. In the British Heart Foundation-funded study, nearly 700 UK volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups - a gradual quit group or an immediate quit group. All of the participants were also offered advice and support and access to nicotine patches and replacement therapy, like nicotine gum or mouth spray -  services which are available for free on the NHS. After six months, 15.5% of the participants in the gradual-cessation group were abstinent compared with 22% in the abrupt-cessation group. Lead researcher Dr Nicola Lindson-Hawley, from Oxford University, said: ""The difference in quit attempts seemed to arise because people struggled to cut down. It provided them with an extra thing to do, which may have put them off quitting altogether."" Even though more people in the study said they preferred the idea of quitting gradually than abruptly, individuals were still more likely to stop for good in the abrupt group.

+"Tokyo-based artist Megumi Igarashi, 42, was arrested on Saturday for sending data that could be used to create 3D models of her vagina. She had sent it to people who had donated money for a project to make a vagina-shaped kayak using a 3D printer. The arrest made headlines in national media and triggered discussion on Japan's obscenity laws. Ms Igarashi also goes by the moniker Rokudenashiko, which means ""no-good girl"" in Japanese. A police spokesman told AFP news agency she had distributed data that could ""create an obscene shape"". On her website, Ms Igarashi says she has made several pieces of art based on her genitals using a silicone mould, saying she wants to make vaginas ""more casual and pop"". The vagina ""has been such a taboo in Japanese society... (it) has been thought to be obscene"", while penises are regarded as ""part of pop culture"", she said. Rokudenashiko, or Megumi Igarashi, was not a household name in Japan but her arrest has certainly made her one. Major media outlets reported on her arrest and social media platforms like Twitter have since been flooded with comments. Opinion is split but one debate is about whether the scanned 3D data can be categorised as obscene unless the recipients have printed it out. Others have questioned why the image of a vagina is seen as obscene when images of penises are not seen as causing offence. There are, for example, annual festivals in Japan where a huge wooden phallus is carried from a shrine or visitors can enjoy sweets shaped like penises. Local media are also being criticised for labelling Ms Igarashi a ""self-proclaimed"" artist, with some suggesting that police and the media are trying to discredit her. People on Twitter are contrasting their coverage with Western media, which has treated her as an artist. According to Japan's Asahi newspaper, Ms Igarashi told police she rejected the charges. ""I cannot agree with the police's decision to label the data as obscene,"" she reportedly said. ""To me, my vagina is like my arms and legs. It's nothing obscene."" Japan's obscenity laws ban the depiction of genitalia, which are blurred in broadcast media and images. Ms Igarashi's arrest comes a month after legislators voted to ban the possession of child pornography.

+"Using pictures from the Cassini probe, the researchers have detected and tracked a slight wobble in the moon. After seven years of study, they have concluded this flutter would be much less if the icy crust was connected directly to Enceladus's rock core. It is strong support for the idea of an intervening, global mass of liquid. ""If the surface and core were rigidly connected, the core would provide so much dead weight that the wobble would be far smaller than we observe it to be,"" said Matthew Tiscareno, a Cassini scientist based at the Seti Institute but previously affiliated to Cornell University, US. ""This proves that there must be a global layer of liquid separating the surface from the core."" Activity on Enceladus has been one of the great discoveries on the Cassini mission, which arrived at Saturn in 2004. The first clue that something interesting was going on was some low-resolution images showing a plume coming off the south pole that had the space-interested internet all abuzz. Shortly after, Cassini detected a disturbance in magnetic fields produced by the presence of what appeared to be an atmosphere. Scientists then established that the moon was actually venting huge jets of water vapour through south polar surface cracks dubbed tiger stripes because of their resemblance to the big cat's fur coat. Models were subsequently produced to explain how liquid water could be maintained on a 500km-wide body in the outer Solar System, and how that water might be feeding the jets. But there has always been a debate about how large the hidden reservoir might be. Early thinking suggested it might only be a relatively small lens of water. This new result, published in the journal Icarus, is the best evidence yet that the sub-surface sea is not regional in nature, but encircles the entire globe. It is significant because it makes it more possible that Enceladus is a habitable world.  In those jets, Cassini has also detected salts and organic molecules.  The chemistry has scientists intrigued, and fired up to send a dedicated mission to the moon. When that might happen is unclear.  Both the US and European space agencies are only planning currently to send probes to Jupiter, and even they are not likely to get to their destination until the 2030s. Cassini itself is winding up its observations in the Saturn system.  It has another couple of close passes of Enceladus this year before it then starts to manoeuvre towards disposal in the ringed planet's atmosphere in 2017.

+"The run-up was dominated by a row over a Vatican priest who on Saturday announced he was in a gay relationship. Poland-born Krzysztof Charamsa said he wanted to challenge the Church's ""backward"" attitude to homosexuality. He was later dismissed from his post at the Vatican's office in charge of guarding Roman Catholic doctrine. A Vatican spokesman said Monsignor Charamsa's decision to give interviews on the eve of the synod was ""grave and irresponsible"" and would put Pope Francis under ""undue media pressure"". In an interview with the Corriere Della Sera newspaper, the 43-year-old priest said: ""It's time the Church opened its eyes and realised that offering gay believers total abstinence from a life of love is inhuman."" The controversy has set the scene for what some fear could be a fractious three weeks, says BBC religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt. The Synod - a defining moment for Pope Francis Almost 300 Church leaders - and some lay people - will be discussing such issues as the treatment of Catholics who are gay, and how to approach couples who live together without being married or wish to take communion after being divorced. Analysis: Caroline Wyatt, BBC News It is the most highly-anticipated meeting of the leaders of the Roman Catholic church since the Second Vatican council, some 50 years ago. In his homily today, the Pope spoke of the importance of the family - and perhaps rather pointedly, of the love between a man and a woman. He also said that the wealth of the developed world hadn't led to greater happiness, but to loneliness, and higher rates of abortion and divorce. Many campaigners and more liberal Catholics would like to see a change in Catholic doctrine on issues ranging from homosexuality to contraception. But while some bishops here do want reform, others remain fiercely opposed. In the end, though, the synod is not a democracy. It will be up to the Pope to decide what - if anything - changes, and how the Church applies its teaching to its sometimes errant flock. The Pope has called for a more understanding attitude on sexual issues. After his election in 2013, Pope Francis reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church's position that homosexual acts were sinful, but said homosexual orientation was not. ""If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?"" he said. The issue of homosexuality was also highlighted during the Pope's visit to the US last week. He had a private meeting with a gay former student of his and his boyfriend at the Vatican mission in Washington.

The conditional plan depends on austerity measures being passed through parliament, where Mr Tsipras faces resistance among his own MPs. Despite the growing dissent at home he said he has no plans to resign. Defending the deal in an interview on state television, he said: ""I assume responsibility for all mistakes I may have made, I assume responsibility for a text I do not believe in, but which I signed to avoid disaster for the country, the collapse of the banks."" He said he had battled not to cut wages and pensions, arguing the terms agreed were milder than those in previous deals.

""You can't promise things that you can't bring about,"" he told Dutch television. Mr Tsipras said the referendum had helped secure a better, more long-term deal. His interview comes on the eve of the vote in Greece's parliament. The measures, including pensions and VAT reforms, must be passed by Wednesday. A number of Syriza MPs are likely to rebel and the junior coalition party, the Independent Greeks, have offered only limited support. Alexis Tsipras had one over-arching theme in this interview - that Greece was backed into a corner in these bailout talks, left with no other option than to sign what he called an agreement he didn't believe in but would avoid disaster. The prime minister called it a ""bad night"" for Europe, adding that Greece was suffering post-traumatic stress. The interview will remind the public of the pressure he was under but won't stop dissent in his party.

The Daily Mail said  the tax could have been saved when he put his production company into voluntary liquidation. It comes after fellow comic Jimmy Carr was criticised for using a complex scheme to reduce his tax payments. The newspaper said Boyle, who mocked Carr after he hit the headlines, might also have been the beneficiary of sharp but legal accountancy methods to save tax on the millions of pounds he has earned through TV shows, tours, DVDs and book sales. By closing Traskor Productions Limited, of which he was sole director and shareholder, the paper said he might have been able to pay a tax rate of 10%, rather than 50% if he had taken money out as dividends or income. This is because he could have been entitled to ""entrepreneur"" tax relief, saving him ¡ê880,762, it said.

Fellow Britons Geraint Thomas and Mark Cavendish finished down the field. An overnight rockfall 130km into the course at Arenzano forced organisers to briefly divert the race. The diversion on to the A10 bypass increased the race - already the longest of the Spring Classics - from 291km to 300km. The race was dogged by a number of crashes involving high-profile riders, including Team Sky's Thomas, who was among the favourites after victory in the week-long Paris-Nice stage race earlier this month. The Welshman was near the front of the peloton in the foothills of the Cipressa climb with 30km to the finish when a compression caused several riders to crash, including Thomas and team-mate Peter Kennaugh. Both riders picked themselves up but struggled to get back into contention, while the 2009 winner, Manxman Cavendish, saw his challenge fall away on the Cipressa's punishing ascent. Former British road champion Ian Stannard of Team Sky and Movistar's Giovanni Visconti took advantage of further crashes on the narrow coastal roads to open up a 20-second gap on the descent, but were then reeled back on the gruelling Poggio di Sanremo.

+"Ian Sawyer from Manchester said: ""I'm homosexual, I'm not a paedophile. Does Mr Fury know the difference?"" Fury has been quoted as saying a woman's ""best place is on her back"" and criticised homosexuality and abortion. The boxer, also from Manchester, has denied making any homophobic comments. He said: ""Tyson Fury loves his fellow humans. He doesn't hate anybody."" Mr Sawyer told the Victoria Derbyshire programme he was offended ""to such an extent that I went to Greater Manchester Police"" but has yet to be interviewed by police for an official statement. He said 27-year-old Fury, who became world champion by beating Wladimir Klitschko last month, was entitled to his opinions, but ""if they are offensive he should keep them private"". ""After he won the championship I woke up thinking how wonderful it was to have a world champion in Manchester at a sport that I've admired since Muhammad Ali and then when I woke up yesterday morning and listened to his words [on the Victoria Derbyshire programme] I thought he had gone from hero to zero,"" he added. In an interview in the build-up to his world title fight, Fury, who comes from Wythenshawe, said: ""There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home: one of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other one's paedophilia. ""Who would have thought in the '50s and '60s that those first two would be legalised?""

If England win they face a trip to France on 19 France chasing a first Grand Slam since 2003. A win for Wales would see them needing to beat Italy at home to win the championship. ""We won't leave any stone unturned in our preparation and it's amazing everything boils down to 80 minutes,"" said Roberts. ""It will take bodies on the line and full concentration because one missed tackle, one break, one unforced error or one penalty could decide the championship.

The petition was filed by former chief minister of Jharkhand state Madhu Koda, who is also an accused in the case.

+"It's said, in recent years, an unnamed minister had to wait a couple of days to be informed about his new post because a Post-It note with his name on it had dropped off the board, and, in the frenzy, he was completely forgotten. Theresa May's first reshuffle in contrast has felt efficient in its method, and clinical in its politics. By removing a group seen as a clique, with Michael Gove and Nicky Morgan following George Osborne out of the door, she calls a formal halt to the influence of the so-called Notting Hill Tories - those modernisers who had gathered around David Cameron's leadership and owned the top echelons of the Tory Party for so long. But it's not as simple as ""out with the old, and in with the new"" because some experienced ministers who have been around are being rewarded for years of sober work - grafters, more ""gin and Jag"" Conservatives than metropolitan movers. By also including Eurosceptics like David Davis, Liam Fox and Andrea Leadsom, Theresa May insures herself against some protests from those who campaigned to leave the EU that Brexit isn't moving fast enough. But there are new faces as well - promotions for Karen Bradley, James Brokenshire, Baroness Evans  - not well known, a political generation that's come after David Cameron and George Osborne.

+"Lord Myners' review is highly critical of the group's takeovers of Britannia building society and supermarket chain, Somerfield. He added it would be ""inappropriate and premature"" to appoint a new boss of the Group now. Co-op chief executive Euan Sutherland resigned on Tuesday. Mr Sutherland's resignation came after it was revealed he had described the Group as ""ungovernable"" in a recent Facebook post. Read more from Robert Earlier this month details of his basic salary of ¡ê1.5m, including a retention bonus for another ¡ê1.5m, were revealed. With pension contributions and other extras, Mr Sutherland would have received ¡ê3.66m this year. The first stage of the Myners review accuses the Co-op of suffering from a significant ""democratic deficit"" in which ordinary members have surprisingly weak constitutional rights and a limited ability to influence the group's social mission and activities. The Britannia building society and Somerfield takeovers had cost the Group billions of pounds and had led to the accumulation of unsustainable debts which undermined its competitive position and severely eroded its capital base, Lord Myners added. The former Labour City minister was appointed as a senior independent director by Co-op Group chair Ursula Lidbetter in December, to undertake a full review of the entire business. It followed the collapse last year of Co-op Bank's deal to take over 632 Lloyds Bank branches and the arrest of the bank's chairman Reverend Paul Flowers on drugs allegations. He was suspended from both the Methodist church and the Labour party and later resigned from the Co-op. Co-op Group chairman Len Wardle, who appointed Reverend Flowers, was also forced out. Lord Myners' initial report found the Group's three-tier system of elected member representation had ""consistently produced governors without the necessary qualifications and experience to provide effective board leadership"". He added this had ""massively raised the cost of decision-making and diminished genuine accountability throughout its governance hierarchy"". And he said that while ""one member, one vote"" had been a core principle of co-operative ownership, at present ordinary members do not have the right to attend Annual General Meetings or to elect or re-elect Group board directors. The Co-op Group is cutting staff and selling off parts of its business in an effort to save itself but is still expected to post annual losses in excess of ¡ê2bn at the end of this month. Lord Myners' review will recommend that Group board directors should be subject to annual election or re-election by all members and that vacancies should be openly advertised and candidates appointed on merit against clear criteria of skills and experience. They will also include the creation of a new Group board made up of an independent chair with no previous association or involvement with the Group, six to seven independent non-executive directors, and two executive directors. Lord Myners said the new, far smaller board would replace the existing 20-strong elected board of directors. He pointed out he had no power to decide whether his recommendations would be approved. Lord Myners said the decision to accept the recommendations would most likely ""lie in the hands of fewer than 50 elected members"" who if they acted together would be able to cast more than one-third of the Group's votes in opposition to them. He added: ""Until the outcome of these constitutional changes is decided, it is my opinion that it would be inappropriate and premature to proceed with the appointment of a new CEO, in view of the risk that, while these governance issues remain unresolved, ""The Co-operative Group will be unable to attract applications from best-in-class retail executives. Confirmation of members? readiness to approve radical governance reform will also be essential to reduce current uncertainty among existing key employees."" In December of last year the ownership structure of the Co-operative Bank was changed and it is now only 30% owned by the Co-operative Group. A spokesman from the Bank said: ""The Co-operative Bank is a separate organisation to The Co-operative Group and has already made significant advances in reforming its governance and leadership.

""We had people contacting us about the Spaghetti Junction photograph the world over, from Australia and America,"" said Yvonne Price, behind the project. Their stories are now being told in an exhibition in the city. Thousands of Irish immigrants arrived in Birmingham in the 1940s, 50s, and, 60s. As the city was undergoing a huge post-war transformation, they worked on some of its most iconic structures, including the infamous M6 junction and the city centre Rotunda. ""The stories we found were very moving,"" said Ms Price. ""People left home as 15-year-olds, living in bedsits and sharing beds, to make a better life for themselves. It was very, very hard but you don't hear about them complaining."" The appeal led to the discovery of many photographs and artefacts from the time. The family of one worker Fabian Cowan, who was also a keen photographer, found a collection of his pictures in a tin in his shed, after he died in 2004. They show him and his friends larking about, perched precariously on top of lofty building sites with the city behind them. His daughter, Carmel Girling, said: ""He was trying to emulate the famous pictures of the construction workers on the Empire State Building in New York.

The exhibition - We Built This City - showcases a host of other material. It runs at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery until May 28. Fabian Cowan was born in Dublin in 1927, the youngest of nine children. His father was a cabinet maker, who is thought to have worked on the Titanic, and Fabian had a good education. He arrived in England in 1952 with a brown paper bag containing his clothes and little else. With no money, he slept rough in New Street Station, Birmingham, before he got his first building job. Over the years, he worked on several landmarks, including Marks and Spencer, Frankley Beeches reservoir and Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr. Although he had little else he managed to get hold of a camera - his family believe he may have bought it with one of his first pay packets - and took and developed pictures from the rooftops of Birmingham.",An appeal to identify Irish construction workers from a photograph at one of England 's best - known motorway junctions has ended in @placeholder .,contention,common,popularity,disbelief,success

Smith & Wesson's trading update said that for the three months ending 31 January it expected sales to be about $175m-$180m. Earlier guidance put the likely figure at between $150m and $155m. The company said that ""the sell-through rate of its products at distribution has been stronger than originally anticipated, resulting in reduced distributor inventories of its firearms"". That means guns are being bought faster than Smith & Wesson is supplying them. The firm said its net profit was $14.2m (?¡ê9.46m) for the period, compared with $5.2m for the same period last year. In December, the company reported that profits had nearly tripled for the three months to October and net sales have increased 38% over the last five years.

It was also scrutinized annually by the European Parliament, a spokeswoman added. On Mr Juncker's trip from Brussels to Italy, he held meetings with then-Italian PM Matteo Renzi, the Senate president and the president of the chamber of deputies, among others.

""When schools were under local control it would have been unthinkable as well as impossible that a head teacher of even a group of schools could earn more than a director of education, let alone the secretary of state for education, let alone the prime minister,"" Mr Clarkson told the conference.

+"""To have that huge shadow of doubt cast is really disappointing,"" said the British heptathlete, 29. Ennis-Hill came second to Russia's Tatyana Chernova - later banned for two years for doping - at the 2011 World Championships. She has appealed to the IAAF to have her silver medal upgraded to gold. Ennis-Hill's coach Toni Minichiello is not sure Russia should be banned from international competition. ""I'm not convinced that it is the right decision,"" he told BBC Sport, citing the boycotts of the 1980 and 1984 Olympics by nations who were on opposite sides in the Cold War. ""I don't think they achieved a great deal if I'm honest. ""I don't think it's an achievement for us to be able to suspend a nation and then think that everything is still rosy. What we have to do is work with people and put in tougher drug-testing regimes."" British sprinter Adam Gemili said banning the entire Russia athletics federation would punish clean athletes from the country. ""I feel really bad for those guys that will miss out if they do get totally suspended,"" he said. ""But the more people that are getting caught, the cleaner the sport is, and I'm all for a clean sport."" Minichiello added that his doubt over Russia's ban did not make it any easier to accept the damage that drugs cheats might do to his athletes' hopes of success. ""It's depressing, it's sad, it's despondent. To a certain extent it makes me angry, frustrated. ""I don't think it's just about medals.

As it stands, Russian athletes are barred from competing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. However, their suspension could be lifted before the Games if they co-operate with the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada). A Wada commission report, alleging ""state-sponsored doping"" and political interference in testing, prompted the country's suspension. ""We are definitely in a dark place.

The elephant was reportedly shot as she picked him up with her trunk, before she fell and died, crushing Mr Botha. He had been leading a group of hunters near the Hwange national park in Zimbabwe when he died. It is the same park where Cecil the Lion was shot dead by an American hunter in July 2015, sparking an international outcry. Mr Botha, 51, was a father of five from the northern Limpopo province in South Africa. His eldest daughter Marike confirmed her father's death to the BBC, but would not comment further on the circumstances of his death.

+"Expect plenty of talk of compromise and olive branches from all within the party this weekend in Liverpool - but behind the rhetoric this is a devastating result for the rebel MPs, and all those in the party looking to change its direction.

In other words, the message to them will be that the Corbyn camp is sitting pretty at the top of the party and going nowhere. The first big test will be how the shadow cabinet is elected. The internal workings of the Labour party may seem a million miles from the everyday lives of the public but decisions on this set the tone on whether Labour can become a remotely unified opposition or appear to many as a dysfunctional set-up indulging in yet another internal contest. It is probably too much to ask that the differences and bad-feeling will disappear, what may be more realistic is that Jeremy Corbyn manages to get the party focused on the issues that it agrees on, such as opposition to grammar schools in England, and harness those feelings to take on the Conservatives. The truth is that the wings of the party agree on more than they disagree on and somehow Corbyn and his allies have to make that count. And what about the Pontypridd MP Owen Smith? Was his challenge brave or foolhardy? Because of the make-up of the current membership, there is an argument to say that Jeremy Corbyn would have won whoever stood against him. Owen Smith had the challenge of creating a national profile for himself as well as landing blows on his rival. One problem he had was allowing himself to be characterised as a Blairite candidate by Corbyn supporters, particularly in relation to his links with the pharmaceutical industry, and at times there appeared to be a lack of consistency in his approach. His campaign began with a softly-softly strategy in the way he described Corbyn during debates, which later turned into a far more aggressive approach towards the latter stages of the contest.

Purple Rain is at three, followed by The Hits / The B-Sides and 1987's double album Sign O' The Times. Six of Prince's hits are also due to re-enter the singles chart, led by Purple Rain which is currently at number two. The song reached Number eight upon its original release in 1984, meaning the song could hit a new peak on Friday's Official Chart. The rock legend died suddenly last Thursday at the age of 57. Even though last week's chart was compiled mere hours after the news was announced, the Ultimate compilation rocketed to tenth place in the countdown, with 5,389 sales. In the US, The Very Best of Prince and Purple Rain took the number one and two spot respectively in the Billboard chart, outselling the rest of the market in less than 24 hours. Such sales were undoubtedly spurred by Prince's absence from streaming services. The star's catalogue is only available to stream on Tidal, while he relentlessly pursued people who illegally uploaded his material to sites like SoundCloud, Daily Motion and YouTube.

Details of the post-mortem examination have yet to be released, but his body was released to his family on Friday afternoon and he was cremated on Saturday. Thousands of fans have flocked to Paisley Park, the First Avenue nightclub, and other sites made famous by Prince since his death, while tributes have come from Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake and President Obama, amongst others. Eric Clapton said Prince had helped him battle depression and drug addiction in the 1980s, calling him ""a light in the darkness"".

""I saw Purple Rain in a cinema in Canada, I had no idea who he was, it was like a bolt of lightning!

Among them was Sly and the Family Stone bassist Larry Graham, who toured with Prince and converted him to the Jehovah's Witness faith. Also present was drummer Sheila E, one of Prince's most frequent collaborators on records including Lovesexy, Erotic City and The Glamorous Life. Speaking to EW after the service, she said the congregation was still struck by disbelief. ""What was challenging yesterday was listening to his music at a very low, soft volume and the room very low in lights and everyone just taking a moment, just sitting there, kind of going, 'Wow,'"" she said.

Mr Zuma has faced a string of corruption allegations, with a recent report highlighting his links with the wealthy Gupta family. He left for Cuba early on Tuesday to attend the funeral of Fidel Castro. Africa Live: Updates on this and other stories The Guptas and their links to Jacob Zuma Profile: Jacob Zuma Mr Zuma has survived several opposition-sponsored no confidence votes in parliament. This was the first time he faced a rebellion from senior ANC members who serve in his cabinet. Tourism Minister Derek Hanekom tabled a motion calling for his sacking at a meeting of the party's National Executive Committee (NEC). He was backed by several other ministers, including Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi and Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi, local media reported. ""The NEC did not support the call for the president to step down,"" ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe told a news conference. ""This issue was debated openly, robustly and, as we said, sometimes it was very difficult for members themselves,"" he added. Earlier this month, an investigation by South Africa's anti-corruption watchdog said a judicial inquiry should be set up to further investigate allegations of criminal activity in Mr Zuma's government. Mr Zuma is accused of letting the Gupta family wield undue influence in his government. Both Mr Zuma and the Guptas have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. The Guptas also denied offering Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas $44.6m (?¡ê36.2m)  last year if he accepted the post of finance minister and advanced their business interests. Earlier this year, the Constitutional Court ruled that Mr Zuma had breached the constitution by failing to repay government money spent on his private home in rural Nkandla. A High Court has also ruled that he should be charged with 783 counts of corruption in relation to a 1999 arms deal. Mr Zuma has denied taking bribes, and has appealed against the ruling. In August, the ANC lost control of the key cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria in local elections, for the first time since the end of white-minority rule in 1994. Voters had punished the party for corruption, and its failure to act against Mr Zuma, analysts said.

+"Sylvie Beghal was held at East Midlands Airport under anti-terrorism laws. The High Court ruled that schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 did not breach human rights. It comes weeks after the partner of a Guardian journalist was stopped under the same power, prompting a legal battle with the government. In his judgement on Wednesday, Lord Justice Gross said the stops were ""neither arbitrary nor disproportionate"". Lawyers for Mrs Beghal are expected to appeal and try to take the case to the Supreme Court. Mrs Beghal, a French citizen who lives in the UK, was stopped in January 2011 after arriving at East Midlands Airport on a flight from Paris. Police officers told her she was being held under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, a power that allows them to hold someone for up to nine hours and question them about whether they are involved in terrorism. Mrs Beghal's husband is an Algerian man who was convicted and jailed in France on terrorism charges. Djemal Beghal claims he was tortured and that his conviction is unfair. Following the stop, Mrs Beghal refused to answer police questions without the presence of a solicitor. She was allowed to speak to a lawyer on the phone before police asked her about her movements. When she refused to answer the questions, she was charged and later convicted of failing to comply with the order. In her challenge, lawyers argued that the powers under schedule 7 were so widely drawn that they meant that anyone could be stopped without reasonable suspicion. They said that those questioned at airports under the legislation were denied the right not to answer questions, unlike criminal suspects who were arrested and interviewed in a police station. Mrs Beghal also said that her detention at the airport breached her right to privacy and family life and restricted her freedom of movement between two EU countries. But dismissing the challenge, Lord Justice Gross said: ""The schedule 7 powers of examination survive the challenges advanced before us. ""In short, the balance struck between individual rights and the public interest in protection against terrorism does not violate the fundamental human rights in question."" This latest challenge to the powers is wider than that launched by David Miranda, the partner of a Guardian journalist who was stopped at Heathrow Airport earlier this month. Mr Miranda alleges that the stop was unlawful because police wanted to seize his computer equipment rather than establish whether he was involved in terrorism. In the Beghal judgement, the court stressed that schedule 7 should only be used for its specific purpose.",The wife of a convicted terrorist has lost a @placeholder challenge against the British police 's power to stop and question people at airports .,defiant,constitutional,major,controversial,moral
+"Trevor Francis, 71, was found guilty of two offences of using lewd, indecent and libidinous practices and behaviour towards young girls and three assaults.

At Dundee Sheriff Court a sheriff told him: ""This was a gross breach of trust."" Francis, a qualified nurse, took over as a manager at the home in 1973. He was described as ""creepy"" and a ""Jekyll and Hyde character"" who subjected kids there to brutal physical attacks and sexual assaults. Three girls - aged 14 to 16 at the time- told a jury Francis would creep into the girls' dormitory at the home in the night and sexually assault them. A male resident at the home told how he had once run away and got as far as Kirkcaldy where he was picked up by police and taken back. Francis took him into a laundry room and attacked him as punishment. Other victims told how Francis slapped them in the face and beat them with a slipper in violent rages. Fiscal depute Eilidh Robertson told the jury: ""He is a manipulative, violent and predatory person who abused the trust of these vulnerable people who he was paid to protect. ""But instead he perpetrated physical and sexual abuse towards them and managed to stay undetected because of his Jekyll and Hyde personality. ""The accused might seem mild mannered - an upstanding citizen, a family man. ""We are dealing with an intelligent, manipulative man who can turn on and off that predatory, violent behaviour.""

+"The impact of Brexit is hugely sensitive at the moment, and to blame the games decision on leaving the EU makes it an issue just at the point when the messages are critical.

+"The president's choice of word immediately made headline news, reopening a familiar argument about whether it was fine for black people to reclaim and use the term but white people shouldn't, because it is nearly always a term of abuse - and of course, still is to many, as confirmed by a quick glance at Twitter after Mr Obama spoke. The point the president was trying to make was that, in his opinion, racism still exists in many aspects of US life and confronting it must go way beyond a philosophical discussion on whether certain words can or can't be uttered in polite company. Of course, reclaiming formerly offensive words isn't confined to racial minorities. Across western Europe, some gay men for example, have taken an offensive slur, ""queer"", and turned it into a badge of identity. Similarly, campaigners for women's rights in North America have been trying to reclaim the term ""slut"", transforming it into a mark of female sexual freedom. ""SlutWalks"" have now also taken place in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Yet there are problems. Reclaiming a word isn't necessarily the same thing as rehabilitating it. Take that word ""queer"" for example. It's used by a minority of gay men to describe their partial rejection of conventional society - for example, many self-defined ""queers"" reject marriage as an oppressive institution. They would be less happy about heterosexuals using that same word. And many heterosexuals in turn would be wary as well. That's partly from confusion - because ""queer"" is still deployed as a term of abuse. But there's also an issue of authenticity. Simply put, can those who live outside a minority group ever truly know what it's like to be a member of that community, especially if it's being oppressed, or has been in the past? Maybe not - so perhaps there should be caution about using language that implies that anybody can experience life - warts and all - on the same terms that minorities do. It's why Jewish comedians can get plenty of laughs as they poke fun at those much-maligned Jewish mothers - but why those same jokes might be construed as anti-Semitic if told by a non-Jew. More seriously, it also explains the derision that fans of rap music used to direct at white hip hop artists - because hip hop music grew out of, and spoke about, the unique experiences of young, black urban Americans. And rap in particular highlights some of the difficulties behind this whole issue. Many rap lyrics are liberally sprinkled with words which others find highly offensive - including the one which Mr Obama used. But many rappers feel their language is a realistic expression of how many young, black urban Americans live. They've walked the walk so have permission, they feel, to talk the talk. However it's the kind of talk that just can't appear in a piece of this kind - a perfect illustration of how hard it is to navigate a clear path around such sensitive issues. The authenticity factor also lies behind the criticism directed at Rachel Dolezal, the American civil rights activist who said she spoke from the personal perspective of being an African-American, but in fact was described by her parents as a white woman, with a trace of Native American ancestry. The debate about Barack Obama's choice of words reveals just how important context and authenticity are. And if you don't believe me, just try to envisage a white US president - perhaps Bill Clinton or one of the two Bushes - trying to sympathetically use the same racial term Mr Obama used. Or, Mr Obama cracking a joke about interfering Jewish mothers. I think you may feel a little bit uncomfortable.","Is it justified to ever use an offensive racist term - even if you 're trying to have a conversation about racism , as President Obama was when he used the "" N - word "" on a US radio programme ?

+"Most of the money spent by the Welsh Government is funded from the so-called block grant which it gets from the UK Treasury. In addition, the UK government spends money directly across the country, for example on the state pension and other benefits. Northern Ireland ¡ê11,106 Scotland ¡ê10,374 Wales ¡ê9,904 England ¡ê8,638 UK ¡ê8,913 The original reason that Wales gets less goes back to the 19th Century when the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Goschen, set out rules for extra spending in Scotland and Ireland.  Wales was included with England, so it didn't get the same bonus. That system developed into the block grants we still have today. They used to be re-negotiated every year until someone had the bright idea of coming up with a mathematical formula for deciding how much the grant should rise or fall each year. Joel Barnett was a Labour cabinet minister in the 1970s.  It was Barnett who developed the new rules, so the formula was named after him. The aim of the formula is to maintain the relative spending levels in different parts of the country. So if the UK government decides to spend an extra ¡ê1,000 per person on something that only covers England, the Barnett formula should mean that the block grant to Wales also goes up by ¡ê1,000 per person. To calculate how much the block grant needs to go up in total, the formula looks at the size of the Welsh population relative to the size of the population of England. At the moment it's about 5.7%. So for every pound of extra spending in England, Wales gets just under 6 pence. The formula also applies to spending cuts in the same way. It's not quite that simple, though. Not all areas of government policy are devolved. And some are more devolved than others. So the formula also includes another factor: the ""comparability percentage"" for each area of spending. The idea here is that the amount of extra funding that goes to Wales and the other nations should depend on the extent to which the particular area of spending is devolved. So for fully devolved areas like education, extra spending in England is matched fully, on a per-person basis, in Wales. Health is also considered to be almost completely devolved. But for spending on culture, media, and sport the estimate is about 77%. In other words, for every extra pound per person of spending on sport announced by the UK government, the Welsh Government gets an extra 77 pence per person. The critical thing to remember is that the Barnett formula only governs the annual change to the block grant. It's not responsible for the original disparity in levels of spending across different parts of the UK. It does help to maintain the existing gaps in cash terms. But over time that should actually mean that the disparities between the nations become less significant. In later life Lord Barnett, who was made a member of the House of Lords in 1983 and died in 2014, said that the formula was ""grossly unfair"" and should be abolished. In 2015 the UK government introduced a funding floor for Wales, promising that public spending per head should not fall below 115% of the figure for England. That should ensure that the additional money it receives compared to England is maintained, but it probably won't do anything to help Wales catch up with Scotland or Northern Ireland.",Less government money is spent for each person in Wales than in Scotland or Northern Ireland .

Holt saw the Premier League reaction as a threat, posting on Twitter: ""WOW! After all the trouble we have gone to in rescuing @ASFCofficial is the @premierleague really threatening to close us down?"" He had earlier posted a series of messages on Twitter after the Daily Mail revealed reported figures of wages and agent fees paid by Manchester United. In them, he accused the Premier League of ""destroying"" the game. Accrington finished 13th in League Two this season with an average gate of 1,699 - the smallest in the Football League. Holt told BBC Radio Lancashire the club usually has an annual turnover of about ¡ê2.2m and would expect losses of about ¡ê500,000 most seasons, but that should be less for 2016-17 because of their cup runs. ""It is all very well for the Premier League to take an isolated view that what they're doing doesn't affect anybody else, but my argument is that it does,"" he added. ""When you do things for the game, you've got to look at the entire game - you can't just deal with them in isolation. ""They generate all the cash and they need get some of it spread about.""

""It is only because of the interest in our competition and in Premier League clubs that we can support Accrington, the wider football pyramid, and communities and schools across the country."" BBC sports editor Dan Roan Ever since the Premier League broke away 25 years ago, there has been intense debate about how much it should redistribute; to the grassroots, to fans via cheaper tickets, to community projects, and also to lower-league clubs. Buoyed by their latest record-breaking ¡ê8bn broadcast deal, Premier League clubs will pay Football League teams the following in 'solidarity payments' this year; ¡ê4.3m to each Championship side, and ¡ê650,000 and ¡ê430,000 respectively to clubs in League One and Two. These payments have risen, and are now linked to TV income. But given the financial challenges and debts many Football League clubs face, and the vast sums their Premier League counterparts give to players and agents, some believe they should be more generous. Mr Holt has effectively 'bitten the hand that feeds' his club, hence the Premier League's thinly-veiled threat to withdraw funding.

+"Kaori Okuni, one of the women campaigning for change, said the ruling would lead to ""suffering for those who plan to marry and those who are set to be born"". Most women in Japan end up taking their husband's surname, a practice set to continue after Wednesday's ruling. But what do other countries do? In most well-populated countries, women are free to change their surname on marrying, if they wish. Many go further than that, putting in place laws stating that women do not have to change their names. France's law has been in place since the 18th century but, much like in Italy, there is some flexibility allowing wives to use their husband's surnames in an informal way. On all official paperwork, however, the maiden name must remain. The laws are much tougher in Greece and Quebec. In Greece, you must petition a court for a name change, and in Quebec, even if they wanted to, a wife cannot take her husband's surname at any point. In Iceland, women keep their maiden names after marriage. A surname is derived from a father's first name - so Bjork, Gudmund's daughter, becomes Bjork Gudmundsdottir - or, in certain circumstances, the mother's. A similar pattern is also followed in Ethiopia and Eritrea, where there is no concept of surnames as known in many Western countries. At birth, people are given one name, that is then followed by the father's name then the grandfather's name. Even after marrying, women retain their original three names. Could the Avatar actress Zoe Saldana and her husband Marco Perego - now Marco Saldana - be trend setters? The couple announced the move earlier this year, with Mrs Saldana calling her husband ""a man who stood by change"". In one case from 2012, however, a Mississippi man needed the help of the American Civil Liberties Union to take his wife's surname, having initially been prevented from changing the name on his driving licence. And in France, a change in the law now allows men to take their wife's surname - the first case was registered in Lyon in 2012, but only after seven attempts to do so were denied, despite the amendment.","Japan 's Supreme Court has ruled that all married couples must have the same surname , despite concerns that the practice is discriminatory and @placeholder .",inappropriate,relevant,lost,archaic,arbitrary

The move came as part of a government effort to reach agreements with all the country's ethnic groups. For decades, Burma, also known as Myanmar, has faced rebellions from several minority groups, seeking autonomy. The UWSA is believed to be the largest, with a fighting force numbering as many as 30,000. It reached an agreement once before with the former military regime in 1989, but recently tensions flared after the Burmese military surrounded Wa territory.

+"Mr Navalny got permission to hold the rally at another location but said he had moved it after authorities tried to ""humiliate"" protesters. The prosecutor's office has warned police will take action against any unauthorised demonstrations. Small protests are being reported in cities in the Russian Far East. The last wave of protests led by Mr Navalny ended with hundreds arrested. Those protests were the largest since 2012, drawing thousands of people - including many teenagers - to rallies nationwide, angered by a report Mr Navalny published accusing Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of corruption. By calling crowds into the very centre of Moscow, Alexei Navalny has set the stage for a confrontation. The prosecutor's office has already made clear that the protest on Tverskaya Street, near the Kremlin, has not been authorised. In a statement issued well after midnight it warned that police would take action against those who break the law. That could mean a repeat of scenes in March, when hundreds of people were detained during a peaceful rally against corruption - many of them, teenagers. Navalny argues that he was forced to call people to another unauthorised rally, claiming that no firm would supply a stage, screens or speakers for the protest he had been given permission for. So the opposition leader called for a march through central Moscow instead. It is a national holiday, and a whole series of official events are already planned on Tverskaya Street to mark Russia Day - including some military re-enactments. Monday's protests are being seen as another test of the strength of anger towards alleged corruption at the highest levels - and a gauge of how much support Mr Navalny has for his bid to unseat President Vladimir Putin in next year's elections, In a call for people to join him today, he wrote: ""I want changes. I want to live in a modern democratic state and I want our taxes to be converted into roads, schools and hospitals, not into yachts, palaces and vineyards.""

+"For the past two years Bulo Hawo has been mainly under the control of the Islamist al-Shabab militia. Government troops, backed by forces from the African Union, also gained ground from the group in the country's capital, Mogadishu. Reports say 50 peacekeepers were killed but the African Union's peacekeeping mission (Amisom) has not confirmed this. Freedom of manoeuvre Maj-Gen Nathan Mugisha of Amisom said his forces had captured the former ministry of defence building in the north of the capital, gaining control of a major al-Shabab base. ""By taking these positions we have effectively reduced their freedom of manoeuvre in that sector,"" Gen Mugisha told Reuters news agency. He said the offensive meant the UN forces now had control of seven districts in the capital, leaving six contested and three under rebel control. The offensive in the town of Bulo Hawo began early in the morning. Dozens of militants were reported to have been killed in the fighting which lasted more than three hours. ""We have chased them to an area 40km (25 miles) south of the city,"" Sharif Abdiwahid Sharif Aden, a spokesman for the pro-government militiamen told Associated Press.

James Davies, 20, Anthony Baines, 30, and Mark Ennis, 30, from Liverpool, deny murder and malicious wounding with intent. Jake Melia, 21, also from Liverpool, has admitted all charges. Paul Lewis QC, prosecuting, told Mold Crown Court Mr Mason was ""repeatedly and fatally stabbed"" by the three defendants and Melia, as he sat in a van in the car park. Justin Trickett and Sam Illidge were also stabbed but their wounds were less severe. The court heard the attack was the result of a ""turf war"" which had erupted between two rival gangs over the control of the drugs trade in the Rhyl area. The defendants and Melia were members of the ""Pensarn Crew"", sometimes called ""Ste's Crew"", Mr Lewis said.

+"In a passionate speech, he questioned the authenticity of the evidence presented by Brazil's chief prosecutor. Mr Temer is accused of receiving money from the executives of a meatpacking firm implicated in a corruption scandal. He denies any wrongdoing. It is the first time that a sitting Brazilian president has faced charges. Mr Temer rejected the evidence presented by chief prosecutor Rodrigo Janot, saying he mounted a baseless case that was an assault on his ""dignity"" and sought to ""paralyse"" Brazil as it recovers from a two-year recession. ""Where are the concrete proofs of my receiving this money?"" Mr Temer asked during the televised address from the presidential palace in Brasilia. ""I will not allow myself to be accused of crimes that I did not commit."" The charges have been delivered to a Supreme Court judge who must now decide if the case can be sent to the lower house of parliament. If the corruption case reaches the lower house, Mr Temer's coalition believes it can gather enough votes to block the two-thirds majority needed for him to be put on trial in the court. JBS executives have been implicated in Operation Car Wash, the vast investigation into corruption at state oil giant Petrobras. The investigation, launched in March 2014, centres on companies that were offered deals with Petrobras in exchange for bribes, which were funnelled into politicians' pockets and political-party slush funds. Last month, an audio recording was released in which Mr Temer appears to be discussing bribes in conversation with JBS chairman Joesley Batista. The recording, made using a hidden device, was presented in plea bargain negotiations between prosecutors and JBS executives. Meanwhile, President Temer could face a further charge of obstruction of justice. Mr Temer, a former law professor, has vowed to remain in office despite calls for him to step down. Presidential elections are expected only in October 2018. He is deeply unpopular in Brazil but his centre-right party has been able to govern as part of a coalition. His approval rate is just 7%, according to a recent opinion poll. Brazilian politics has become engulfed in political scandal in recent years, with a third of Mr Temer's cabinet under investigation for alleged corruption. Mr Temer's predecessor, leftist Dilma Rousseff, was removed from office following an impeachment vote in the Senate last year. She was accused of illegally manipulating the budget, a charge she strongly denied.

+"In May, a report into the Tawel Fan ward at Bodelwyddan's Glan Clwyd Hospital found patients were kept ""like animals"". A new allegation was made on BBC Wales' Week In Week Out over the death of a patient at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. The health board has investigated 47 other incidents at the Gwanwyn ward. Of those incidents over the last 12 months, 27 are said to have involved patient-on-patient assaults and 20 were patient-on-staff assaults. A spokesman for the health board said it had received six complaints relating to the Gwanwyn ward since October 2012. He added a member of staff had been suspended while the board investigated an allegation of inappropriate physical restraint on a patient at the ward. A second inquiry was also looking into an alleged incident where an employee was said to have not responded appropriately to a patient's threat to self-harm, he said. Simon Dean, the health board's interim chief executive, said he became aware of the allegations raised in the BBC Wales programme ""very recently"". He added: ""They are very serious and we will take appropriate action. ""We have to be sure there is not a systemic problem, we are looking into this as best we can."" But Tony Rucinski, chief executive of the Board of Community Health Councils, which looks after the interest of patients, told BBC Wales he wanted to see a ""root and branch"" review all units. ""What we would ask for is a systemic solution, not something which looks good on paper in 100 days and is handed over to somebody else again to take on,"" he said.

+"Mandela's family had complained that the book, written by his doctor of almost 10 years, contained personal details. The publisher said it had pulled the book ""out of respect"" for the family. It added that the author had told them Mr Mandela's family had asked for the book to be written. The author, Dr Vejay Ramlakan, said he had received permission to write the book Mandela's Last Years, but did not say specifically from whom. On Friday, Nelson Mandela's widow Graca Machel was considering legal action against the book, accusing Dr Ramlakan of breaching patient confidentiality. The book is reported to expose ""undignified"" episodes at the end of his life, as well as family squabbles. Milton Nkosi, BBC South Africa correspondent The withdrawal of the book shows just how much weight the Mandela name still carries years after his demise.  Mandela's widow Graca Machel complained bitterly about aspects in the book. The outcry was supported by other Mandela family members. This simply means that Mr Mandela's physician and author of the book Dr Vejay Ramlakan has been isolated. He was adamant that he consulted everyone who needed to be consulted from the family prior to writing the book. Clearly this has backfired now. One of the details according to the book which did not sit well with Mrs Machel was the assertion that when Mr Mandela took his last breath it was in fact Winnie Mandela's hand he was holding and not hers. Sello Hatang, the CEO of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, welcomed the withdrawal and challenged the idea that Mrs Machel was doing some work for the foundation when Mr Mandela was on his death bed. It is now left to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela to come out to set the record straight on whether some of these most intimate details about South Africa's first black president, already in the public domain through the book, are true. But a statement from Penguin Random House South Africa said it was ""meant to portray Nelson Mandela's courage and strength until the very end of his life and was in no way intended to be disrespectful"". ""However, given the statements from family members we have decided to withdraw the book."" No further copies of the book are to be issued. Billed as the ""true story of Nelson Mandela's final journey"", the book was released to coincide with Mandela Day on 18 July.

+"The trio handed control of the ISS over to Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, after nearly 200 days in space. Among them is Italian Samantha Cristoforetti, who has set the record for the most time in space on a single mission by a female astronaut. Their Soyuz spacecraft landed safely on Thursday in the steppes of Kazakhstan. ""It was a textbook homecoming for the Expedition 43 crew,"" said a NASA presenter after the landing. The commander of the expedition, Terry Virts, and his crewmates Anton Shkaplerov and Ms Cristoforetti have spent almost seven months on board the ISS carrying out scientific research and technology demonstrations. All three were carried out of the spacecraft and checked over by medical workers. ""Everything worked by the second, step by step, the guys were great,"" said Mr Shkaplerov. According to a Nasa press release, the team has travelled more than 84 million miles since their launch into space on 24 November. They were originally due to leave a month ago, but their departure was delayed after the failure of a supply spaceship. The out-of-control unmanned Progress M-27M burnt up as it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere. The delay meant that on 6 June Ms Cristoforetti set a new world record for the most time spent in space by a woman on a single mission after clocking up more than 194 days. The 38-year-old has gained an active following on Twitter during her time on the ISS by posting videos showing how to do simple everyday tasks in space such as making a meal. She also famously introduced an espresso machine, which was specially adapted to work in space.

He said Mr Scott had previously been detained by police four years ago in another region of the North Caucasus. He added that documents had been sent to the Russian foreign ministry for an official representation to be made to the British Embassy. The incident happened at the beginning of March, according to another TV station, state-controlled Channel One. The Foreign Office spokeswoman said the men had passed through several checkpoints on their journey but had not been prevented from travelling.

+"Dr Kenneth Heaton says many doctors fail to connect psychological problems with physical symptoms - and argues the playwright could help them do it. He listed dozens of examples in which Shakespeare described these phenomena in his works. ""They could learn to be better doctors by studying Shakespeare,"" he said. While traditional medical school training never strays far from the science of diagnosis and treatment, there has been growing interest in recent years in including courses on health-related art, history or literature as part of the curriculum. Dr Heaton, from North Somerset, who studied Shakespeare after retiring from his post as a gastroenterologist, believes that a broader perspective could make it easier to understand the viewpoint and needs of a patient, particularly in general practice. His latest research, published in the journal Medical Humanities, focuses on real symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, fainting, and disturbed hearing, produced by underlying emotional distress, which can sometimes confuse doctors as they have no obvious physical cause. The frequency of these psychological illnesses in Shakespeare should be a mark not only of his ""body-conscious"" approach, but also of their importance to doctors, he believes. Notable examples include the fatigue suffered by Hamlet, grief-stricken for his murdered father, who complains of his ""weary, stale, flat and unprofitable"" existence, and the headache suffered by the cuckolded Othello. In King Lear, when Gloucester is led to the point of attempting suicide, his son Edgar notes that his ""senses grow imperfect"" because of his anguish. In Romeo and Juliet, feelings of both coldness and faintness are used to convey shock. In all Dr Heaton found at least 43 references to physical problems caused by psychological stress in Shakespeare's works - far more than in other authors of the same period. He said that the reluctance of modern doctors to attribute physical symptoms to emotional disturbance could cause delayed diagnoses, and unnecessary tests and treatment. ""Shakespeare had an extraordinary insight into the psychology of human beings, extending to the emotional effects on the body. ""Some medical schools have more in the way of humanities teaching than others, but many doctors would be able to learn something from Shakespeare."" Dr Paul Lazarus, a senior clinical educator from the University of Leicester, is one of those advocating a broader curriculum at medical schools, possibly including subjects such as the history of medicine, its depiction in literature and art, and even the architecture of hospitals. He said: ""While it isn't for everyone, it can help make students more capable of being able to view problems from a wider range of perspectives.""","Reading William Shakespeare could give physicians a @placeholder insight into the links between emotion and illness , a retired doctor and scholar believes .",fresh,deeper,familiar,romantic,skilled

+"The 18 metre (50 foot) inflatable duck suddenly collapsed on Tuesday, only 11 days after it had been put on display in the port at Keelung. Organisers are unsure as to the cause of its demise, but one theory is that it was attacked by eagles. The duck was designed by the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman to be a giant version of a popular bath toy. Last month a similar duck was damaged elsewhere in Taiwan, when an earthquake triggered a power cut that caused it to deflate. A third Taiwanese duck was brought ashore in September because of an approaching typhoon. A large crowd had been anticipated in Keelung Port for New Year celebrations, and the rubber duck was due to be an important part of the festivities. But video footage showed the giant inflatable suddenly bursting in front of scores of people gathered on a quayside. ""We want to apologise to the fans of the yellow rubber duck,"" organiser Huang Jing-tai told reporters. ""We will carefully examine the duck to determine the cause."" The original duck designed by Hofman has been transported around the globe since 2007, visiting cities including Sydney, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong and Amsterdam. The artist hopes the works will bring people together and encourage a connection with public art. Despite the ducks' misfortunes, they have been a big hit among the Taiwanese.

+"The laboratories at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) will use information in tumour DNA to help find the best ""personalised"" treatments. Its director said this was not science fiction and would be day-to-day practice in the NHS within a decade. The centre will also investigate how cancers become resistant to drugs. The field of cancer research is moving rapidly away from defining a cancer by where it is in the body - one type of breast cancer can have more in common with an ovarian cancer than another cancer in the breast. Instead scientists and doctors are looking deeper at what is going wrong inside cancerous cells - a tumour can have 100,000 genetic mutations and these alter over time. Rapid advances in being able to sequence the genetic code of patients are allowing breakthroughs in understanding which mutations transform a healthy cell into a cancerous one. Identifying the mutations can then be used to choose the best treatment. The most famous example of this is the drug Herceptin, which is used in breast cancers with a certain genetic abnormality. The new centre will test samples from patients at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. The ICR's director, Prof Alan Ashworth, said: ""None of this is science fiction. This is now happening. We think we're pioneering the clinical application of this by setting up the Tumour Profiling Unit, but one would think this would be absolutely routine practice for every cancer patient - and that's what we're aiming to bring about."" One great challenge with cancer treatment is resistance. Promising drugs suddenly fail after a few months. Prof Ashworth described it as a ""bit like the game whack-a-mole"" with a new method of resistance popping up every time a drug kicks a cancer down. The Tumour Profiling Unit will repeatedly test cancer samples to see how the tumour changes in an attempt to understand resistance. Other challenges for the field include storing the data. The genetic codes of one million cancer patients would take up the same amount of space as YouTube. Implementing this form of genetic testing into the NHS is another issue. The test results would need to be made available rapidly and in a way that is easy for doctors to interpret and decide on treatments. The government has recently announced that up to 100,000 patients with cancer and rare diseases in England are to have their entire genetic code sequenced to aid research.",The @placeholder changes that turn healthy tissue into cancer are to be investigated in the biggest centre of its kind in the NHS .,molecular,devastating,annual,troubled,national

Sea lice feed on the skin and blood of salmon, and can weaken the health of fish and its growth.

Gloucester City's interim chairman, Mike Dunstan, said he was ""thrilled"" with the news. ""It's fantastic to take this significant step towards a return to our city, and I hope fans are as thrilled with the scale and ambition of the plans as we are,"" he said.

+"The council's director of social care, health and wellbeing said Kent had seen a significant increase in numbers. Andrew Ireland said the county had about 350 unaccompanied minors this time last year and now had about 830. He said a national scheme was needed to avoid burdening one authority. ""If we see a significant increase in arrivals without a national scheme in place, it is going to place a huge burden on one particular local authority,"" he said. Mr Ireland also told the home affairs sub-committee children as young as six had sought asylum in Britain. ""For the cohort that come through Kent, I'm often left to wonder... the number of countries that these young people have passed through, some of whom clearly are well under the age of 18,"" he said. Mr Ireland said the increase in young people arriving had created ""enormous pressure"" in providing accommodation and placements. He added: ""My concern... is that we are at the beginning of the season where the number of arrivals traditionally starts to increase."" After the committee hearing, council leader Paul Carter said the authority also had a continuing duty of care to support those who had reached their 18th birthday, which brought the number nearer to 1,400. ""We're over saturation point,"" he said. ""We are hoping the government will introduce new regulation to give the powers to the secretary of state to have a national dispersal system.""

Figures last week showed 78.3% of A&E patients were seen and treated within four hours, well below the 95% target. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) said the average was now 89.6%. NHS GGC chief executive Robert Calderwood acknowledged that there was still work to do to meet the national target of 95%. ""There is still some way to go to achieving a sustained performance and improvement is still required to achieve the national target consistently but I am confident that we are moving in the right direction,"" he said.

Mr Calderwood again stressed that the process of transferring these services to the new hospital had been challenging but said progress was being made.

+"Media playback is not supported on this device Allardyce's departure was announced within minutes of West Ham's 2-0 loss at Newcastle United that saw the Magpies stay in the Premier League. The 60-year-old has spent four years at West Ham, but the Hammers have decided not to renew his deal this summer. Allardyce said: ""I didn't want to stay. I suppose you could say it was mutual if they didn't want me to stay either."" West Ham will now begin the search for a successor, although they look likely to miss out on top target Rafael Benitez, as the Napoli boss is linked with Real Madrid. ""I thought it was the right time to leave - and probably the right time for me and the club,"" added ex-Bolton and Newcastle boss Allardyce, who now plans to take an extended break from the game. Allardyce learned of his fate on Friday, but the news was made public on Sunday afternoon at the conclusion of the 2014-15 Premier League season. In a statement, joint chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold said: ""We would like to start by thanking Sam Allardyce for his valuable work since arriving at the Boleyn Ground four years ago. ""He leaves the club in a considerably better state than when he arrived and, for that, the board are truly grateful."" Allardyce added: ""I knew it was coming and I have no problems with it. We had the discussion and I wasn't going to sign a new contract so it was probably time to move on. ""It's done and dusted and we both move on. West Ham have a big job appointing a new manager moving forward and I have the job of seeing my family for a change. This job is 24/7 and it's time for me to give the family a bit more time."" Sullivan and Gold want a new manager to oversee the club's final season at their current home before a move to the Olympic Stadium for the 2016-17 campaign. The statement was released just minutes after West Ham lost their final Premier League game of the season 2-0 at Newcastle - a result which ensured their opponents avoided relegation and meant the Hammers finished 12th. Allardyce says he has no intention of making a quick return to football, adding: ""For me four years is a long time and I don't want to overstay my welcome. You have to commit your whole life to being a Premier League manager. ""It's time to have that break. I'm looking to have a break, recharge the batteries and when the batteries are recharged you are better prepared to carry on doing the job at this level. ""It's not just a job I'm after, it's the right job. You can never say never but I can't see myself being in charge of another football club at the start of next season."" West Ham United's supporters made it clear what they felt of the unloved Allardyce as abuse rained down from the stands at St James' Park as they lost to Newcastle United. And while it is true the 60-year-old is a managerial taste that will never be acquired by some, Allardyce can rightly be pleased with his four years at Upton Park. The brief from owners David Sullivan and David Gold was to get the Hammers into the Premier League and keep them there - two missions he accomplished comfortably. Allardyce, in other words, has done a solid job at West Ham and it will take a lot to move them even further forward.

""So you have to be lasered to match the visor, so it's now called a biometric enhancement."" Mr Margetts said he must have ""mis-heard"" the question about whether the treatment was 100% safe.

+"The whereabouts of Nefertiti's remains are not known, although those of Tutankhamun - who may have been her son - were found in 1922. New tests have shown there may be a portal leading from King Tut's tomb. Nicholas Reeves, an archaeologist at the University of Arizona, says he believes Nefertiti may lie inside. One leading Egyptologist urged caution over the conclusion but said that, if confirmed, it would be ""brilliant"". The finds were made last year, after the Spanish artistic and preservation specialists, Factum Arte, were commissioned to produce detailed scans of Tutankhamun's tomb. The scans were then used to produce a facsimile of the tomb near the site of the original Valley of the Kings in Luxor. While assessing the scans last February, Dr Reeves spotted what he believed were marks indicating where two doorways used to be. ""I have been testing the evidence ever since, looking for indications that what I thought I was seeing was, in fact, not there,"" Dr Reeves told the BBC. ""But the more I looked, the more information I found that I seemed to be looking at something pretty real."" The layout of Tutankhamun's tomb has been a puzzle for some time - in particular, why it was smaller than those of other kings' tombs. Dr Reeves believes there are clues in the design of the tomb that indicate it was designed to store the remains of a queen, not a king. ""If I'm wrong, I'm wrong,"" he said. ""But if I'm right, the prospects are frankly staggering. The world will have become a much more interesting place - at least for Egyptologists."" After being discovered by English archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun was opened in February the following year. It was the most intact Egyptian tomb ever discovered, and very few objects appeared to have been plundered. Close to 2,000 objects were found, and it took archaeologists nine years to catalogue them all. If the same amount of objects were found elsewhere in the tomb, it would represent ""quite a coup,"" said Dr Reeves. Neither Egyptian authorities nor Factum Arte have responded to the claims. ""I think there are certainly some signs that there might have been some activity around those doorways,"" said Joyce Tyldesley, an Egyptologist with the University of Manchester. ""Whether we can deduct from that that we actually the burial site of Nefertiti might be a step too far.

+"Sadie Hartley, 60, was stunned with a cattle prod and stabbed at her home in Helmshore, Lancashire, in January. Preston Crown Court heard Sarah Williams, 35, exchanged naked photographs with Ms Hartley's partner Ian Johnston in the weeks prior to the death. Ms Williams denies murder. The court has heard Ms Williams was obsessed by Mr Johnston, 57, and ""eliminated"" Ms Hartley with the help of Katrina Walsh, 56,  who also denies murder, when he refused to leave her. Mr Johnston, who had been in an ""intermittent"", ""intimate"" relationship with communications director Ms Hartley, began a sexual relationship with Ms Williams after they met in December 2012. The former firefighter told Ms Williams the relationship was over months later, he said, but she kept contacting him in person or by text and even sent an anonymous letter to Ms Hartley, boasting the sender had had ""fantastic"" sex with Mr Johnston. John McDermott, prosecuting, said Mr Johnston and Ms Williams exchanged naked photographs on 3, 4 and 5 December last year. Mr Johnston said he didn't block the messages and responded ""in kind"" to Ms Williams' messages. But he told the prosecutor he did not seek to rekindle the relationship and was ""distraught"" when he read the texts the next day. There were further similar exchanges between the pair on Christmas Day, and again 10 days before the murder, Mr McDermott told the court. Mr Johnston had been in Switzerland when the messages in January were sent, the court heard.

On Sunday, he was photographed at his new home in the city, which is now under full government control. In interviews with pro-government journalists, Omran's father complained that he had been used as ""propaganda"". Mohammed Daqneesh told a reporter from Iran's Al-Alam TV that the Syrian opposition and international media had wanted to use Omran to attack President Bashar al-Assad. ""They wanted to trade in his blood and published his photos,"" he added. Mr Daqneesh said he had been sitting with his then five-year-old son when their home was hit on 17 August and that he had not heard a plane overhead. He added that Omran had suffered only minor injuries and that the blood on his son's face had dripped on to him from one of his own wounds. As he searched for his three other children among the rubble, ""gunmen"" took Omran to an ambulance in the street outside and started filming him, Mr Daqneesh said. They then took him to hospital despite there being no need, he added.

A doctor at the hospital where Omran was taken told the BBC at the time that he had a head wound that required stitches and was suffering from shock.

+"The National Union of Mineworkers and two other unions signed the pay deal with industry body the Chamber of Mines, but few details were released. It is unclear whether the deal will satisfy thousands of striking workers, many of whom have been dismissed after their action was ruled illegal. The strikes have slashed production and cost the industry millions of dollars. Strikes in the platinum and coal sectors, which are not covered by Thursday's agreement, have also raged for weeks. More than 40 people died in violent clashes between police and striking workers at a platinum mine in August. The National Treasury said on Thursday that strikes across the mining industry had cost the country's economy 10bn rand ($1.1bn; ?¡ê710m). South Africa is one of the world's biggest producers of precious metals. Unions and employers gave few details of Thursday's agreement. By Matthew DaviesBBC News, Johannesburg Thursday's deal looks like a tentative step to ending all the strikes in the gold sector. But the impasse in the platinum sector still exists and many mines remain closed. Part of the problem is that platinum mines, unlike their counterparts in the gold industry, tend to negotiate with their own workers rather than with all the workers across the sector. This is why workers for the Lonmin firm got a 22% wage increase but 12,000 of those at Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) who were out on a wildcat strike were sacked. Amplats expects its refined platinum production to fall to between 2.2m and 2.4m ounces this year. The Treasury says that the production of platinum group metals slumped by more than 15% in August, compared with a year earlier. How strikes have hit SA economy NUM spokesman Lesiba Seshoka said the deal represented a 10.8% wage increase, but did not specify which workers would be affected. ""The worst in the gold sector is over. Members have accepted a new pay structure,"" he said. But he added that the deal would only cover the next few months, and negotiations would resume in February. Marian van der Walt of Harmony Gold, one of the firms represented by the Chamber of Mines, welcomed the deal. ""We're very pleased that they signed [to] bring all of the uncertainty and turmoil in the market to an end,"" she said. Harmony said 98% of its striking workforce had now returned to work. Another firm, Gold Fields, also welcomed the agreement. Gold Fields said more than 28,000 of its workers had gone out on strike, 8,100 of whom had been dismissed after they failed to honour an ultimatum to return to work. On Thursday a spokesman said 7,300 of the sacked workers had appealed against their dismissals. Analysts say workers across the industry are disaffected with the NUM and other mainstream unions, regarding them as too close to the employers.

The Property Services Agency - part of the Department of the Environment - proposed using two of the 10 chambers at Rhydymwyn in which they would construct buildings to house the art. However, Welsh Office interest in the scheme appeared to cool, as shown by a letter to the Home Office by civil servant Tony Vinall in which he said the officers who made the original request had now gone.

Prosecutors say about €12m (¡ê10.4m; $13.5m) was spent on hotels, fine clothes, entertainment and travel. Mr Rato denies wrongdoing. Bankia was rescued in 2012 at huge public expense. The unofficial credit card purchases were not declared to the tax authorities. The system allegedly started at Caja Madrid bank and was continued by Mr Rato when Bankia was created in 2011. How Spanish activists landed ex-IMF chief in court A member of the governing centre-right Popular Party (PP), Mr Rato resigned as head of Bankia shortly before its near-collapse in 2012. The government bailout of Bankia inflicted losses on 200,000 small investors, who held preferential shares in the bank. Some of them voiced their anger outside the Madrid courthouse on Monday. ""You wretches! Stealing money from pensioners!"" they shouted at the accused as the trial got under way. Prosecutors are seeking four-and-a-half years in jail for Mr Rato and six years for Miguel Blesa, the former president of Caja Madrid, a bank that was merged with six others in 2011 to create Bankia. If found guilty, Mr Rato could also face a €2.7m fine, and Mr Blesa a fine of €9.3m. Mr Rato headed the International Monetary Fund from 2004-2007. He also served as Spanish economy minister, and his fall from grace helped fuel accusations that the Popular Party was riddled with corruption. Prosecutors say the lavish credit card purchases took place from 2003-2012 - some of them during Spain's financial crisis, when millions of citizens suffered hardship and unemployment soared. Mr Rato's two successors at the top of the IMF have also been caught up in high-profile court cases. French Socialist Dominique Strauss-Kahn took over from Mr Rato in 2007 but resigned in May 2011 to defend himself against charges of attempted rape in New York. Prosecutors dropped the charges later that year, then Mr Strauss-Kahn reached an out-of-court settlement with the hotel maid who accused him. In a separate case last year, he was acquitted by a French court of the charge of ""aggravated pimping"" in connection with sex parties involving prostitutes.

The EEF is the latest business organisation to call for a rethink of the government's Brexit plans. It wants access to the single market to be at the heart of Brexit negotiations. The EEF said even before the election firms were already altering or thinking about changing their business plans because of the Brexit vote. Terry Scuoler, EEF chief executive, said the government had already ""wasted a year"" and needed to ""move away from its previous rhetoric and start repairing relations with EU partners"". For the EEF that meant putting access to the single market and staying in a customs union at the centre of the government's negotiations and involving business groups in the talks over trade. It is also calling for a ""suitable"" transition period to be ""firmly back on the table"" as part of the Brexit talks. On Monday Carolyn Fairbairn, director-general of the CBI, called for the government to ""reset"" Brexit negotiations, which are due to start next week. Meanwhile, the uncertainty caused by the general election has led business confidence to sink ""through the floor"", according to the Institute of Directors.

The main priority for the new government should be striking a new trade deal with the European Union, according to the IoD.

+"It is now three months since Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as president of Nigeria and five months since he won historic elections, the first time an opposition candidate had won. His victory generated huge celebrations and expectations of a new beginning, with many anticipating dramatic changes to follow, and analysts urging him to ""hit the ground running"". Most Nigerians expected President Buhari to shake up the security services and make other key appointments in his first few days - as former President Olusegun Obasanjo did within hours of his inauguration in 1999. But it took nearly two months for him to replace his security chiefs and so far he has only made appointments in about a dozen government offices. When commentators began to get agitated about the lack of a cabinet, a former newspaper editor and unofficial aide to the president wrote an article entitled What is all the fuss about? He urged the press, social media and others to focus on the ""real enemies of Nigeria: poverty, ignorance, disease and squalor"" and not stand in the way of ""the most popular president in our history"". ""The new government came into power through people's powera€|. Therefore, its duty should be to constructively plan and execute people's policies and not worry too much about who gets what post,"" he said. He is right up to a point - though the new democratic halo around President Buhari does make it difficult for many to publicly criticise him. A leak from the highest level then said there would not be a cabinet before September. The justification, according to the source, was that ""almost everything is in a state of decay"". ""There is absolutely no way the new government can hope to achieve anything long-lasting without first building a new foundation."" This was followed by an opinion article by President Buhari published in the Washington Post to coincide with his visit to the US last month, making further justifications about why the task ""should not be rushed"". ""It is worth noting that [US President Barack] Obama himself did not have his full cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim,"" he said. ""In Nigeria's case, it would neither be prudent nor serve the interests of sound government to have made these appointments immediately on my elevation to the presidency; instead, Nigeria must first put new rules of conduct and good governance in place."" The commentators are now learning to live with President Buhari's pace of governance. He has been dealing directly with the top civil servants, who run the ministries. Mannir Dan Ali: ""With the briefings he is getting from civil servants, the ministers, when they are eventually appointed, will find that their boss knows more about their departments than they do"" Though it is not only the cabinet that is not yet in place. Just after he took office in May, the senate said he was allowed to appoint 15 special advisers. Yet only a few have been appointed and there is currently no adviser on the national assembly to serve as a link between the executive and legislature. This could be seen as a mistake given the current friction between the presidency and the senate over the election of the chamber's president, who was not the ruling party's chosen candidate. Meanwhile, it is the politicians who are suffering most from the lack of a cabinet. On a visit to a newspaper a few days ago, a spokesman for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed, admitted that no-one in the party knew when the appointments would be. ""The president I know has kept this thing very close to his chest."" Muhammadu Buhari profile: Buhari's to-do list Is Buhari a changed man? However, it is not only the politicians who are in a limbo. Many sectors of the economy await policy direction. Following Mr Buhari's pledges to make tackling corruption a priority, they want clarity on how to proceed. This is also making foreign investors wary. So while it is clear that President Buhari has shown that Nigeria can run without a cabinet, there may be an unacknowledged cost. On the bright side, with the briefings he is getting from civil servants, the ministers, when they are eventually appointed, will find that their boss knows more about their departments than they do - and that should keep them on their toes.","In our series of letters from African journalists , Mannir Dan Ali looks at how Nigeria is @placeholder without a cabinet .",born,coping,preparing,letting,offering

+"Defence secretary Chuck Hagel has approved gender treatment for Pte First Class Manning, who was formerly known as Bradley. The move came after the bureau of prisons rejected the Army's request to transfer her from a military facility. She is serving a 35-year sentence for leaking classified files to Wikileaks. Pte Manning has been diagnosed by military doctors with gender dysphoria, the sense of one's gender being at odds with the sex assigned at birth. Following her conviction in July 2013 on 20 charges in connection with the leaks of military and diplomatic documents, Pte Manning requested treatment including hormone therapy, and to be allowed to live as a woman. A lawyer for Pte Manning threatened in May to sue the Army if she was not given sex change therapy in military prison. Nancy Hollander argued the military had an obligation to treat the soldier's ""transgender issues"", and she would not be safe if transferred to a civilian prison for treatment there. Ms Hollander told the BBC that Pte Manning had not suffered harassment at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, even though her fellow inmates knew she was transgender. In April, a judge granted her petition to change her name legally from Bradley to Chelsea, and according to a court filing by Pte Manning's legal team, a military doctor at Fort Leavenworth had approved a treatment plan by November 2013.

+"But Heathrow bosses insist that expansion there would better improve Scotland's links to global markets. It comes as the Airports Commission is due to give its recommendation to the UK government on whether a new runway should be built at Heathrow or Gatwick. The chief executives of both London airports are to appear at Holyrood. The UK's need to expand its airport capacity in a bid to meet growing demand for air travel means introducing an extra runway in the south east of England. The short-listed options include a new runway for Heathrow, a new runway for Gatwick, or the extension of an existing runway at Heathrow. Stewart Wingate, chief executive of Gatwick Airport, believes Scotland's direct air routes would be at risk if Heathrow were to gain a monopoly by being chosen over Gatwick for expansion. He said: ""The choice boils down to competition versus monopoly. Do we want to protect and strengthen Scotland's growing network of routes by creating a competitive system across the UK, or put that at risk by creating a monopolistic mega-hub at London Heathrow? ""The Airports Commission itself found that in every future scenario, Scotland will have a larger share of the UK airports market if Gatwick expands. ""That amounts to 14% more daily scheduled international services from airports outside London and 50 million more passengers through Scotland's airports."" But John Holland-Kaye, the chief executive at Heathrow, claimed that an expansion at Gatwick would result in Scottish firms losing out to rivals based near London while a Heathrow option would ""drive more value for the Scottish economy"". He said: ""It would mean 16,000 new jobs in Scotland, ?¡ê14bn to the Scottish economy and that's because Heathrow helps connect Scotland to more global markets that aren't serviced by Scottish airports directly."" Mr Holland-Kaye added that there are currently 15 to 20 long-haul direct routes to and from Scottish airports and a further 75 routes are covered by Heathrow. He conceded that flights between Scotland and Heathrow had reduced but added that this was because ""Heathrow is at capacity so airlines have had to make a choice between adding new flights to long-haul destinations and maintaining flights to Scotland"". Both Mr Holland-Kaye and Mr Wingate are due to appear before a cross party group on aviation at the Scottish Parliament.

+"This was a ¡ê12,000 increase from the same month a year ago, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, despite lenders reporting a relatively stagnant housing market. House prices rose sharply in Scotland over the year, the ONS said. Meanwhile, the cost of renting a home rose by 1.8% in a year, the ONS said. The ONS said that average house prices in the UK have increased by 5.6% in the year to April, accelerating from 4.5% in the year to March. This contrasts with recent figures from the Nationwide Building Society and Halifax Bank, which have shown the market stalling in recent months. ""These figures go against the recent trend of a Brexit-related slowdown that we predicted last year but remain consistent with our guidance of 2% to 5% growth in 2017 as a whole,"" said Richard Snook, senior economist at accountants PwC. The ONS survey includes cash buyers but economists point out that it still uses only a small sample of transaction data - making the short-term conclusions prone to fluctuations. Over the course of the year to April, the fastest house price rises among the nations of the UK was 6.8% growth in Scotland. Among the English regions, prices went up fastest in the East of England, rising by 8.1%. The slowest was a 0.6% rise in the North East. The annual growth in the cost of renting has slowed from 2.5% a year ago to 1.8% now. Research published on Monday showed that affordability of rent and house buying was the biggest issue for tenants of private landlords. In separate figures, the ONS said that prices in general, as measured by inflation, rose by 2.9% in the year to May - driven by the cost of foreign package holidays for British tourists, and the price of computer games and equipment.","The @placeholder home in the UK cost ¡ê 220,100 in April , a rise of ¡ê 3,500 on the previous month , official figures show .",latest,abrupt,crucial,typical,new

An investigation found the vehicle partly veered into the opposite carriageway of the narrow village road before colliding with an oncoming Kia Carens and hitting the house.

+"It is plastic horn, brightly coloured, and seen in abundance at sporting events in South Africa. The first vuvuzelas seen at sporting events in the early 90s were made from a sheet of metal. A standard vuvuzela is 65cm long but some can be up to a metre long. No-one really knows. The most commonly-held belief is that it is related to the kudu horn that was blown to summon African villagers to meetings. However, earlier this year, the Nazareth Baptist Church claimed the vuvuzela as its own - used by its members on pilgrimages - and threatened legal action to stop them being used at the World Cup. Again, it appears to be a matter of debate. Some think it comes from the Zulu word for ""making noise"". Others say it is township slang for ""shower"" because it ""showers people with music"".  Many believe it means ""pump up"". The Nazarath Baptist Church says it ""lost"" the vuvuzela back in the 1990s when a supporter of South Africa's biggest football team visited the church. Unable to take the long metal trumpet inside the football grounds, he re-modelled it in plastic. Vuvuzela-makers say they began to mass-produce the instrument in plastic when the original tin version began to make appearances at games during the 1990s. The typical pitch of a vuvuzela is said to be B flat below middle C. On its own, it has been compared unflatteringly to an elephant passing wind. When there is a football terrace full of the instruments, the sound has been likened to a swarm of angry wasps. Recent tests found noise levels from a vuvuzela, at full volume and when pressed against your ear, equates to 127 decibels. This is louder than a drum at 122 decibels, a chainsaw at 100 decibels and a referee's whistle at 121.8 decibels. The Hear the World Foundation - set up by Swiss hearing products group Phonax to raise awareness about hearing loss - has warned that extended exposure to such noise risks permanent hearing loss. They have been urging fans to use protection, such as ear plugs and ear muffs. Some South African shopkeepers say they have run out of ear plugs called Vuvu-Stops. Neil van Schalkwyk of Masincedane Sport - a vuvuzela-maker - says his firm has now produced an instrument that is 20 decibels lower than the older version. Well, a London doctor is warning that the vuvuzela could also spread colds and flu germs. Dr Ruth McNerney, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told The Associated Press that the instrument has the potential to infect those seated near a person blowing a vuvuzela because a ""lot of breath goes through"" it. She said a recent study found that aerosols, tiny droplets which can carry flu and cold germs, were formed at the bottom of a vuvuzela after people had blown into them. Those particles are small enough to stay suspended in the air for hours, and can enter into the airways of a person's lungs, Dr McNerney said. Several players complained about the vuvuzela when they were first heard during the Confederations Cup last year, a World Cup dress rehearsal. Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk has banned them from his team's training sessions, and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo admitted this week: ""It is difficult for anyone on the pitch to concentrate."" Even some fans watching matches on their television have reported having to put the sound on mute to escape the cacophany. Yes. They've had a ringing endorsement from Fifa President Sepp Blatter who says they will not be banned. He said on Twitter that ""Africa has a different rhythm, a different sound"" and it is an important tradition among South African fans that should be celebrated. England player Jamie Carragher says he will be taking some vuvuzelas home with him. ""My kids have been on the phone and they want two. I've got two in my bag already"". On the contrary. Neil van Schalkwyk says his firm has sold 1.5m vuvuzelas in Europe since October and expects sales of up to 20 million rand ($2.6m; ?¡ê1.7m) over the course of the tournament. Brandon Bernardo of the vuvuzela.co.za website told Reuters news agency they could churn out at least 10,000 instruments a day. ""We're completely sold out,"" he said. Furthermore, a Dutch designer firm has released a Vuvuzela 2010 app. According to its website, they have had 750,000 downloads of the application. Even without the World Cup, South Africa's vuvuzela industry is said to be worth around 50 million rand ($6.45m; ?¡ê4.4m).",The Vuvuzela has become the unofficial symbol of the 2010 World Cup - and seems to be loved and @placeholder in equal measure .

+"The Hammers took the lead inside 10 minutes when Carroll lost his marker to head in a Manuel Lanzini corner. The hosts hit back with a well-worked move that ended with Cristhian Stuani tapping in Calum Chambers' low cross. Carroll pounced after Victor Valdes tipped away Michail Antonio's low effort to give West Ham the lead at the break. Boro threw on January signings Patrick Bamford and Rudy Gestede, but the Hammers added to their lead on the break late on through Jonathan Calleri. It means Middlesbrough's winless run in the top flight now stretches to five games. West Ham boss Slaven Bilic said Carroll had suffered whiplash after scoring an acrobatic overhead kick last week against Crystal Palace but, despite taking a couple of days off training during the week, the powerful centre forward looked sharp at the Riverside. He only touched the ball twice in the Middlesbrough box in the 67 minutes before he was taken off, but found the net on both occasions - and he has now scored five goals since his return from injury in early December. With Dimitri Payet left out of Bilic's match-day squad amid rumours he is set to leave London Stadium, Carroll offers the Hammers a very different threat. The former Newcastle and Liverpool man won 70% of his duels against Boro, only bettered in the West Ham starting XI by captain Mark Noble, and his aerial prowess also proved key to the visitors when defending set-pieces. Middlesbrough's struggles in front of goal have been well documented this season, and they headed into the game having scored the fewest in the top four leagues apart from Oldham. But Aitor Karanka's side can feel aggrieved at not taking something from this one. They enjoyed over 60% possession and delivered 27 crosses to West Ham's eight from open play - only capitalising on one of those. Karanka has bolstered his squad's attacking threat with the January signings of Bamford and Gestede, the former scoring 17 goals during his last spell at the Riverside in the Championship, but neither had time to have an impact on the game. It was winger Adama Traore who proved the biggest nuisance for West Ham, first down the right-hand side with the on-loan Chambers and then on the left when he linked up with George Friend. Karanka said after the game the 20-year-old has ""an amazing future"", but he will surely hope to keep him for at least another transfer window as Boro look to avoid relegation. Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka: ""As a manager I cannot be more proud of my players than I am now. They have done every single thing. We win as a team, lose as a team. We have to work on the last 10, 15 minutes."" On whether keeper Victor Valdes was at fault for Andy Carroll's second goal: ""Victor Valdes is having an amazing season, helping us a lot. ""He is one of the best keepers in the world and us as a club have to be proud to have players like him."" West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: ""It was a good week for us after Palace, the confidence we played with, and we used that momentum to come here and put out a strong performance and get three massive points."" On Carroll's goalscoring form: ""Week in, week out he is a brilliant player. Not only goals, he makes an impact with his presence. His work rate is quality and he is unbeatable in the box. It is very hard to stop him. ""He loves it. He gives you everything. Hopefully he is going to stay fit.""

+"Pantech's Android-powered Vega No 6 features a 5.9in (15cm) display, which packs in 373 pixels per inch. China's Huawei recently unveiled a 6.1in handset, but it was only a 720p display. They add to the so-called ""phablet"" category, as manufacturers test how big customers are willing to go. When Samsung helped pioneered the format with its 5.3in Galaxy Note in 2011, many analysts suggested its size was too large to find favour. Dell had previously released a 5in phone - the Streak 5 - but had ended up discontinuing the line to focus on a larger 7in tablet. But the Note proved a success for the South Korean firm, leading Samsung to announce a larger successor last August. In recent months other firms, including Sony, LG, HTC and ZTE, have unveiled smartphones with 5in and larger screens. More super-sized handsets are expected to be announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona which begins on 25 February. Technology consultancy Ovum suggested that demand for the format was proving particularly strong in emerging markets where most customers could not afford both a phone and a tablet. ""The Galaxy Note has been a proof-point that consumers will adopt the larger phone,"" said the firm's researcher Adam Leach. ""It's an artificial barrier that a phone has to be below 5in and a tablet above 7in.

+"Dr Sridhar Ravi, from Harvard University, filmed bumblebees as they flew in a wind tunnel. This enabled Dr Ravi and his team to control the airflow the bees had to contend with. The researchers say their study could aid the design of ""micro air vehicles"" that remain stable in bad weather. They explained in a paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology that they had studied bumblebees because they were ""all-weather foragers"". Dr Ravi told BBC News: ""As we have all experienced, the wind speed and direction outdoors can be very variable, [so] maintaining stable flight can be extremely challenging. ""The best micro air vehicles [with a wingspan of less than 25cm (10in)] available today struggle to fly stably when there is even in a light breeze. ""Yet, insects seem to be capable of flying even in extreme wind conditions."" Using a wind tunnel allowed the researchers to recreate these conditions. They filmed the bees using high-speed cameras in order to replay their flight in very slow motion and discover how the insects adjusted their flight according to the airflow. This footage revealed that the bees reduced their speed in unsteady winds, which seemed to allow them to expend more energy correcting their flight path. ""The bumblebees also seemed to be more susceptible to disturbances that pushed them sideways as opposed to up and down,"" explained Dr Ravi. ""The bees rolled considerably to change course and correct for the disturbances induced by the wind."" The scientist said that a better understanding of how natural flyers contended with turbulent wind would help ""immensely"" in the design of micro air vehicles that flew in adverse weather. He added: ""We are currently conducting more experiments including flying other insects in similar wind conditions and identifying the influence of pollen and/or honey on the flight stability in the bees.""",Scientists are studying the flight of the bumblebee in an @placeholder to work out how the insects manage to remain steady in adverse weather conditions .,effort,appeal,initiative,agreement,opportunity
+"Microsoft technical expert Patrick Barker said he had found Samsung software downloading and running a file called Disable_Windowsupdate.exe, while helping a user with a computer problem. He said ""a few Samsung-manufactured computer systems"" were affected. Samsung said it was just giving customers the choice about running Windows software. ""It is not true that we are blocking a Windows 8.1 operating system update on our computers,"" Samsung said in a statement. ""As part of our commitment to consumer satisfaction, we are providing our users with the option to choose if and when they want to update the Windows software on their products."" According to Samsung, the SW update allows users ""to download the newest drives, updates and software for your Windows PC"". But the response baffled Mr Barker. ""I never implied it specifically blocked a Windows 8.1 OS system update, just that their SW Update software is preventing Windows Update from automatically installing updates, and forcing the user to have it set to 'let me choose whether to download and install,'"" he wrote in his blog. ""It's disabling Windows Update from working as the user intends it to,"" he added. Mr Barker said if the Windows Update was turned on manually, it was disabled by the Samsung update when the machine was rebooted. The software did not come pre-installed on computers but downloaded in the background, he said. ""It doesn't appear to uninstall properly,"" he added. Parts of the software remained, including the folder that contained the command to disable Windows Update, he wrote in his blog. Microsoft said: ""Windows Update remains a critical component of our security commitment to our customers."" ""We do not recommend disabling or modifying Windows Update in any way as this could expose a customer to increased security risks. ""We are in contact with Samsung to address this issue."" Security consultant Graham Cluley said that turning off Windows Update was a  ""risky move"" for any company. ""As there are many instances of malware trying to deliberately disable Windows Update in order to get on with their dirty work, I personally wouldn't feel entirely comfortable if Samsung was going around doing the job for them,"" he wrote in his blog.

Filming will take place over several months, in a format similar to the Inside the Commons documentary which was broadcast on BBC Two last year. It aims to ""see how public perception stacks up to reality"", the BBC says. The House of Lords has been under renewed scrutiny since it acted to delay tax credit cuts in October 2015. The controversial move prompted the government to launch a review of the Lords' powers, which recommended they should lose their absolute veto over secondary legislation. The BBC says the documentary will show the ""characters"" who populate the upper chamber and ""their aims, dilemmas and frustrations"".

+"Was it ever serious about moving its headquarters - to Hong Kong in particular? Well, when the discussions first started in April 2015, there were certainly senior executives who could see the attractions of moving. Stuart Gulliver, the chief executive, who has spent most of his banking life in Asia, was believed to be one of them. He would privately point out that the banking levy introduced by the coalition government wiped out the profits the bank made in the UK. The tax particularly affected banks like HSBC as it was levied on worldwide assets. HSBC has a very large business outside the UK. It is not called the Hong Kong, Shanghai Banking Corporation for nothing. The mood of the bank certainly changed when George Osborne decided after the last election to change the levy to a surcharge on banks' UK profits. That hit banks with mainly British businesses like Lloyds harder. And saved HSBC money. Mr Osborne knew that a major bank leaving London would be a major blow. And there was certainly delight in the Treasury. And more fuel for the critics who claim that Mr Osborne changed policy to keep HSBC in the UK. For HSBC itself, the decision wasn't just about the tax environment in the UK. There was also the problem of the regulatory environment in China - with the central bank causing nervousness among investors and volatility in the markets after intervening in the stock and currency markets. Poorer news about the Chinese economy also focused minds at HSBC's Canary Wharf headquarters in London's docklands. One interesting point to make about the decision is that whatever fears HSBC has about Britain possibly leaving the European Union, London's attraction as a financial capital was more significant. Which raises a challenge for those who argue that businesses could quit the UK if Britain were to leave the EU. ""The UK is an important and globally connected economy,"" HSBC said in a statement. ""It has an internationally respected regulatory framework and legal system, and immense experience in handling complex international affairs. ""London is one of the world's leading international financial centres and home to a large pool of highly skilled, international talent. ""It remains therefore ideally positioned to be the home base for a global financial institution such as HSBC."" Some argue that London's financial status could be put at risk if Britain leaves the EU. Indeed, HSBC has itself raised its concerns. But the bank's decision shows that it is a much more nuanced debate than those for or against membership of the European Union might argue. HSBC has said that it will not review the decision about where it is headquartered unless there is a ""material change in circumstances"".

+"Mr Santos won nearly 51% of votes and saw off his right-wing challenger Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, who had 45%. Correspondents say the victory will be seen as an endorsement of the president's ongoing peace talks with the left-wing Farc rebel group. Mr Zuluaga had said he would halt the talks unless the rebels ceased all hostilities. Mr Santos, 62, will be inaugurated in August for a new four-year term. ""This is the generation of peace. Millions of Colombians have chosen hope over fear,"" Mr Santos said in an address to supporters at his headquarters. ""Thank you very much, Colombians! Your support means we will have to worker even harder,"" he said. Mr Zuluaga, who had won the first round of voting in May by a narrow margin, accepted defeat in a speech to supporters in his headquarters. He vowed to continue his fight to ""defend the life and the liberty"" of all Colombians. He also thanked his political mentor, former president Alvaro Uribe, who will be sworn in as senator in August and is expected to lead the opposition to the government. With almost all the votes counted electronically, results were announced one hour after polls closed. There were no reports of major problems or irregularities, says the BBC's Arturo Wallace in Bogota. Nearly 48% of the 33 million Colombians registered to vote took part in the election. Despite concerns in Colombia about high crime and unemployment, the campaign focused on the peace negotiations with the Farc, launched by Mr Santos in November 2012. The talks, which are being held in Cuba, are aimed at ending five decades of conflict. Mr Santos expects a deal to be signed by the end of the year, with the Farc giving up their armed struggle and joining the legal political process. Government negotiators and rebel leaders have held several rounds of talks in the Cuban capital, Havana. They have agreed on three points of the agenda drawn up in 2012 -  land reform, future political participation and drug trafficking, which is allegedly the main source of income for the rebels.

+"Officers raided a workshop in the port of Izmir, where they say they found life jackets stuffed with packaging rather than buoyancy aids. The four workers making the jackets included two young Syrian girls. On Tuesday, the bodies of 34 migrants were found along Turkey's coast. Many were wearing life jackets. Several children were among the dead. More than one million migrants crossed the Mediterranean in 2015 and the vast majority went from Turkey to Greece. Many migrants buy life jackets to help them survive the dinghy journey. A properly made jacket costs up to a ¡ê100 (€130; $150), reports the BBC's James Reynolds in Istanbul.

In Wednesday's raid the authorities seized 1,263 life jackets that failed to correspond to safety standards, Turkey's Dogan news agency said.  The workshop was in the centre of Izmir, a major hub for refugees and migrants. Four people were found working in the workshop, including two young Syrian girls, the news agency said. It did not publish the girls' ages. The confiscated life jackets have been sent to the local police for examination and an investigation has been launched. It comes one day after the bodies of more than 30 migrants were washed up in Turkey. Their boats capsized in bad weather on the way to the Greek island of Lesbos, the authorities say. Turkish media published harrowing images of the corpses, many still wearing life jackets that had apparently been of no use. Migrants are continuing to arrive on the Greek islands every day, despite the wintry weather. Lesbos is by far the most popular destination for migrants leaving Turkey. More than 500,000 reached the island in 2015. Late last year, Turkey reached a deal with the European Union to tighten its borders and reduce the numbers crossing to Greece in return for €3bn (¡ê2.1bn) and political concessions. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.","Police in Turkey say they have confiscated more than 1,000 @placeholder life jackets made for migrants wanting to cross the Aegean Sea to Greece .",latest,commercial,turkish,fake,urgent

+"Vincent Barker, eight, known as Vinnie, died in July 2012 after fluid built up in his brain. Honey Rose, 35, from Newham, East London, performed a routine eye test on the child five months earlier. She said she had ""done her best"" for him. But jurors at Ipswich Crown Court found her guilty after a 10-day trial. Rose told the court she conducted all the required tests during Vinnie's eye examination at the Ipswich branch of Boots on 15 February 2012. But the prosecution claimed her conduct had been so far below the expected standard it was ""criminal"". Read this and more stories from Suffolk During the trial the jury heard there were ""obvious abnormalities"" in both of Vinnie's eyes visible during the examination. Photographs taken by another staff member of the back of his eyes shortly before he was examined by Rose suggested he had bilateral papilloedema - a condition in which optic discs at the back of each eye become swollen because of raised pressure within the skull. Jonathan Rees QC, prosecuting, said this ""would have been obvious to any competent optometrist"" and should have led to an urgent referral to treat ""a life-threatening condition"". A build-up of fluid in his brain increased pressure in Vinnie's skull and ultimately led to his death. Rose had claimed her examination of Vinnie was tricky because he had closed his eyes to the light and looked away during the test. Jurors took just over two hours with their deliberations to find Rose guilty. The Barker family said in a statement: ""The outcome of this case does not change our life sentence; we will never be able to fully accept that our special little boy is never coming home. ""The decision of a jury or judge cannot bring Vinnie back or undo the devastation of his death. ""A guilty verdict would never make us winners, our loss is simply too great.""

""The home secretary absolutely understands the seriousness of the problem and the need for a strategic cross-governmental approach and she is clearly putting herself in the heart of this debate,"" he said.

+"A recent study showed African elephants have the most genes dedicated to smell of any mammal. The US military has also trained elephants to sniff out explosives in the South African countryside. Now an Australian zoo is harnessing an elephant's smell for a more modest aim - improving his mood. Putra Mas, Perth Zoo's only male Asian elephant, has been trained to find particular scents hidden around his enclosure. The idea came after zookeepers noticed signs of boredom, which can affect the behaviourally complex animals in captivity. Unlike the zoo's two female elephants, Putra Mas's temperament prevented him from being walked around the grounds. So keepers tried to ""brighten his day"", said Peter Mawson, the zoo's director of animal health and research. Putra Mas was taught to identify scents including lemongrass, coffee, fur, feathers and animal urine. He would squeak with each discovery. Mr Mawson said the programme had been very successful.

More updates on this story and others in Birmingham and Black Country Mr Kumar told the court he was sitting at a table in a meeting room when two gunmen entered the warehouse at about 18:30 GMT on 3 February. Giving evidence with the help of a Hindi interpreter, he said they had seen a car pull up in the car park before one of the men showed them a gun. ""At first we thought somebody was making fun of us and they showed it to us again and at that time we just raised our hands,"" he said. Mr Kumar said Mr Javeed was bound by the wrist and taken outside while he was tied together to two other staff members in a separate office. He told the court he then heard gunshots before the men left the scene. He said: ""I was frightened and after that I was frightened for months, even when in the house I was scared."" The prosecution told the court Mr Mistry, of Laundon Way, Leicester, and Mr Zarif, of Osmaston Park Road in Derby, were the men filmed entering the warehouse, with Mr Wali, also of Osmaston Park Road in Derby, acting as the driver.

+"So-called ""ghost brokers"" sell cheap, but bogus, motor insurance policies, leaving drivers at risk of big bills following accidents. Some 26 cases are being investigated by the industry's team studying large-scale operations. Similar ghost sales are being seen in other industries. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) said that unauthorised insurance advisers were touting for business in pubs and clubs. They also advertised in some newsagents, via social media, and on ""professional-looking"" websites. Drivers may be tempted by the cheap prices being offered, but policies were often invalid. This put them at risk of having their vehicles seized or facing prosecution, especially following an accident. The ABI suggests that drivers shop around for a good deal, but check the authorisation and reputation of the provider. Useful websites include the Motor Insurers' Bureau's Motor Insurance Database and the Financial Services Register. The concept of ghost broking is not limited to insurance. Evidence in the US points to individuals selling cheap airline tickets, some of which are bought on stolen credit cards. The seller has disappeared by the time the traveller realises the ticket is invalid. Nick Mothershaw, director of identity and fraud solutions at Experian, said his team helped insurers and others to identify how and where fraudsters were operating. For example, they can pinpoint when multiple transactions have come from the same device, or when the same address has been used numerous times.","Motorists should steer clear of cheap insurance deals sold in pubs , clubs , campuses and on @placeholder websites , a trade body has said .",corporate,official,local,questionable,improving
+"The club has obtained a Section 106 planning order which states that the club will move into their new ground at Silver Bow on the outskirts of the city by 26 July, 2017. ""All the talking is finished,"" Truro chairman Peter Masters told BBC Sport. ""The diggers will go in in October this year, the building will commence in October or possibly before."" The agreement is similar to the one that the developers of the rival Stadium for Cornwall are waiting to be granted so they can begin developing their 10,000-seat ground for rugby union club Cornish Pirates. Both grounds were granted planning permission at the end of July 2015, but had to get approval from the Department of Local Government and the Section 106 order before going ahead. National League South side Truro had planned to share Torquay United's Plainmoor ground next season, but last month decided to stay at Treyew Road for one final season. Once the new stadium is built, a retail park will be constructed on the Treyew Road site. The new ground will meet the minimum grade 'A' standards, with a capacity for 4,000 fans and the potential for that to be increased to 5,000, making it suitable for the highest level of non-league football. It will also have a synthetic 3G surface and conference facilities. Masters and fellow businessman Philip Perryman took over the club in December 2012 when it was on the verge of liquidation, having gone into administration earlier that year. After suffering relegation from what was then the Conference South, the club were promoted back to the second tier of non-league football last year when they won the Southern Premier League play-offs. ""If you think where we've come from, from ¡ê4.5m in debt and the ground being sold to a third party and relegation, we've turned it around,"" added Masters. ""We'll have a new stadium, which the football club will own.

But it said late diagnosis was still problematic and ""too many"" were diagnosed when admitted in an emergency. Waiting time targets are also being missed, however, there was a 28% jump in the number of people starting treatment within the 62-day target between 2014-15 compared to five years ago.

But there are great variations between cancer types - with lung cancer the biggest killer - and rates are 23% higher in the most deprived areas. The Welsh government said it would prioritise improving access to diagnostic tests, improve community cancer services and implement a single cancer pathway for patients. Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething said: ""The Welsh NHS has again made tremendous progress in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. ""But there is no room for complacency when in Wales, in 2016 alone, almost 20,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer and around 8,000 will die.

The case was continued for a further hearing. Mr Whyte was the only person in the dock, flanked by two security guards. Advocate depute Bill McVicar revealed that charges have been dropped against Gary Withey, 51, David Grier, 55, David Whitehouse, 51, and Paul Clark, 51, saying: ""There will be no further proceedings."" In relation to Charles Green, 63, and Imran Ahmad, 46, proceedings have been dropped in relation to the indictment involving Mr Whyte.

+"A crowd had gathered. The only light came from the phones we carried; there had not been electricity for months. The men stopped and slowly, carefully unwrapped the blanket. At first, I could not make out what was inside. Then it suddenly dawned on me that it was an old man. He was wearing a jumper and black tracksuit bottoms. His little stick legs dangled in the air. His mouth lolled open. His eyes stared into nothingness. He was hovering between life and death. The men looked at me expectantly. But there was nothing we could do. A couple of hours earlier, we had entered the town of Madaya. An hour's drive from the Syrian capital, Damascus, the town had been under siege for months. Tortuous negotiations had taken place to gain access to this, and other, besieged towns. Now, my organisation, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), along with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and the UN, had been allowed to bring in much-needed aid. Civilians under siege in Syria International system has failed Syria The story of the Syrian conflict But Madaya is just one of dozens, if not hundreds, of places in Syria where humanitarian assistance is desperately needed. There is a colossal level of suffering. The war has been raging for nearly five years. 250,000 people are dead; 13 million are in need of assistance. Nearly half a million are living in besieged areas. What is needed is a genuine and sustained effort to alleviate that suffering. At the moment, that is just not happening. Take the relief operation in Madaya. It took literally months to negotiate. From the start, the aid to Madaya, in the south, was linked to the delivery of aid to two towns in the north of the country, Foua and Kefraya. Whereas Madaya is besieged by pro-Syrian government forces, Foua and Kefraya - which are suffering just as much as Madaya - are besieged by opposition groups. One town could not be given relief without relief going to the others - and at exactly the same time. This system was so strictly followed that when one truck literally got stuck in the mud in the north, the trucks in the south could not move until it was freed. No food could be delivered to one town until it was shown - via photos on WhatsApp - that the same food was being delivered to the other side. Aid by synchronisation. This is not the way to run relief operations. Back in Madaya, I was taken to what was euphemistically called the ""health centre"". It was, in fact, one room in the basement of a house. Ushered into the semi-darkness, I was met by the sight of limp bodies lying on blue blankets on the floor: elderly people, weak from hunger and illness. There were several children, hollow-faced. I noticed the needle marks on their arms where drips had been administered to try to give them the sustenance they needed to survive. The doctor, in a bloodied white coat, took me to the one and only bed. It had two occupants. One was a young woman on the verge of giving birth, but she had been drifting in and out of consciousness for the past four days. The second was an eight-year-old girl, unable to speak and move. She was too weak. There was silence. Then, next to me, the doctor started to cry. Peace talks come and go. And still the killing goes on. All sides have been using what can only be termed ""siege warfare"", like something from the Middle Ages, where one side tries to starve the other into submission. As ever, it is the ordinary citizen who suffers. So as humanitarian workers, what should we do? Yes, we can talk about how all sides should respect ""international humanitarian law"" - I mean respect civilians, do not attack hospitals, respect the dignity of the detainee. Yes, we can talk about the need for ""access""; allow humanitarian workers into areas to help the hungry, the ill and the wounded. But what do we mean in practice? Let the humanitarian workers do their jobs. If an eight-year-old girl needs food, give it to her. If a 70-year-old man needs medical care, give it to him. Do not put lives at risk because a truck is stuck in mud, or one food parcel is not exactly the same as another. Speed up negotiations wherever possible; this can save lives. And let us return, again and again to these places, so that we can continue to provide assistance. Be humane. Keep your humanity. Even under the greatest strains of war. In Madaya, there was another moment that moved me. A woman came up to me and, despite everything, and knowing her plight was far from over, she was smiling. I presumed she was just happy because we had brought the aid in. I was wrong. She lent forward and whispered to me: 'You know what you have done, you people who have come here from the outside? By talking to us, by remembering us, you brought us back something else: our dignity. Thank you.""",A cold rain was falling as the men carried the small bundle towards me .

+"The US city is facing a housing crisis, exacerbated by landlords renting out their property to visiting tourists rather than residents. Under the rejected Proposition F, landlords would have been fined if they rented out their homes short-term for more than 75 days a year. The result of the poll was closer than anticipated. AirBnB lets landlords advertise property for short-term rentals, often undercutting hotels. Proposition F would have seriously affected its operations in San Francisco, so the company spent $8m (?¡ê5.2m) on a ""No on Prop F"" campaign. The ""Yes"" campaign, which lost by about 13,500 votes had just $1m (?¡ê650,000) funding. Proposition F has been defeated, but despite the huge amount of money invested by AirBnB, the result was still pretty tight. In fact, the result was closer than the ""Yes"" camp had imagined. Dale Carlson, the ""Yes"" spokesman, had expected to be ""completely blown out"" in the vote. In the end, the No supporters only won with 55% of the vote, and that isn't by much.

+"The move to limit Airbnb hosts from renting properties for more than 90 days was announced in December. London boroughs have warned that short-term lets are pushing up longer term rental prices in the capital. But nearly a third of all boroughs told the BBC the time limit would not slow the growth of short-term letting. Airbnb, an accommodation listing website, said the impact of short-term lets and home-sharing websites on rental prices in London was ""negligible"". Last year, it commissioned the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) to investigate the impact of short-term lets on London's rental market . Airbnb said the IPPR report found ""entire homes"" booked on the site at least once a year made up less than 1% of total private housing stock in London in 2015. But the study also showed 11% (2,444 properties) of Airbnb's entire home rentals were let for more than six months of the year. The IPPR found landlords were, in some cases, removing properties from the long-term rental market altogether and offering their properties for rent on a series of short-term lets instead. In turn, this piled pressure on long-term rental prices due to a lack of available properties, the report said. It also found some Airbnb hosts may have been offering properties for rent illegally. Events organiser Daniel Thomas has been looking for an affordable room to rent in the area for over a year. Mr Thomas, who commutes from Slough to Ladbroke Grove, said: ""Lots of young people here are looking for properties for the first time, and they're all just going to tourists, so we have nowhere to live."" The law states owners cannot let property for more than 90 days in a given year on a short-term let. If an owner wants to let for longer, they must seek planning permission for a ""change of use"" from their local council. Seven London boroughs - Camden, Hammersmith, Haringey, Islington, Lewisham, Waltham Forest, Westminster - have now called for tougher legislation to prevent illegal lettings. A Camden Council spokesman said: ""There is a clear justification for doing so given the detrimental impact short-term letting is having on housing availability in London."" Diarmard Ward, executive member for housing at Islington Council said: ""Airbnb and other short-term letting sites push up rents and they also reduce the number of homes for people who want to rent long term."" Airbnb's northern Europe boss, James McClure, told BBC London the company was introducing the 90-day limit ""to forestall any potential danger down the road"". ""That's why we're looking to implement automatic limiting to ensure the law is respected and it's up to councils to decide the best use and mix of properties in their area,"" he added. The Department for Communities and Local Government said any landlord breaching the 90-day limit ""faces a hefty fine"", and added it is up to local councils to enforce the law. A government spokesman praised Airbnb's policy and encouraged other services to follow suit. But commercial landlords operating on Airbnb told BBC London the 90-day limit would have no effect. One, who has three homes listed on the site but did not want to be named, said: ""I'll just carry on as before. When the 90 day rule comes up, I'll re-register the homes I have so it looks like they're different homes... a few metres away. ""I know many other landlords planning to do the same thing."" Another, Bulent Boytorun, who rents four homes on Airbnb, said he may move his business to alternative home-sharing platforms. All 33 of London's boroughs, including the City of London, were asked whether they believed all home-sharing websites should block illegal lets. Twelve of the 28 the councils that responded to BBC London said they supported it. But when BBC London asked other competitors in the short-term letting market sites if they enforced the 90-day rule or planned to do so, none said they did. A spokesperson for TripAdvisorRentals, which lists about 8,000 London properties, said: ""To list on our site, homeowners and managers must agree to our terms and conditions, which require a property to be operated in accordance with all local laws and regulations.""","Attempts by Airbnb to crackdown on rogue landlords using its site have little chance of @placeholder , London councils have told the BBC .",succeeding,results,effect,occurring,concerns

+"We've had three years in which insufficient numbers of homes have come on to the market, and too few are being built to meet projected growth in demand. The latest from the surveyors at Rics is that insufficient numbers are entering the market as buyers. The best that can be said is that prices have sort of stabilised. That report is the latest in a long run of flashing lights in the Scottish economic cockpit. We sometimes complain there is not enough statistical data to know what's going on out there. But when almost all of the numbers are telling a similar story, and it's not a good one, then perhaps it's time to pay more attention. Immediately before Rics, it was the recruitment agency survey from Markit data specialists (the monthly one formerly sponsored by Bank of Scotland). There's growth in the number of job starts, but very little. More significant is that, despite redundancies from the offshore sector, skill shortages are becoming clearer, so starting pay is rising. The problem looks most severe in hotels and catering. A chat with the proprietor of my favourite curry shop this week brought news that the market for chefs is tightening again, due to visa restrictions. Why not train up people you recruit locally? They are unrealistic about the pay they can expect, I was told. If that sounds like exploitation of an inbound Indian, then it's the price paid to keep your lamb pasanda below ?¡ê10. He may have to cut out his curry carry out service due to that lack of capacity. Forget all the economic academic abstractions - that is a real life example of the economy contracting. Before that, it was the turn of the Royal Bank of Scotland's regional tracker. It takes us back to the last quarter of last year, to show that there was 0.7% growth in Scotland's higher quality jobs. Their growth outweighed the loss of low-skilled jobs, which were down 2% in the year. But Scotland's job performance last year was the worst of any nation or region. And it's not all because of London and the south-east surging ahead in its property bubble. Only two regions - East Midlands and Yorkshire with Humberside - shared with Scotland in falling lower-skill jobs. In creating high-skill jobs, Scotland was also ranked poorly, with 1.7% growth. Yorkshire with Humberside had growth of 6.2% in that vital element for sustained growth. North-west England was up 5.6% on higher skill roles. Also at the start of the week, we were told that business optimism has fallen below the long-term trend for growth. That's according to a report from the Centre for Economic and Business Research, commissioned by BDO business consultancy. It draws on the big UK surveys carried out by others, though without many reliable specifics about Scotland. Business optimism and output fell, it found, due to a lack of direction in the economy. According to Martin Gill, head of BDO in Scotland: ""The reduction in output and optimism cannot just be put down to uncertainty due to the EU referendum and may have some more deep rooted causes."" He doesn't say which causes, preferring to talk symptoms: ""We need to see greater investment and higher productivity to improve capacity, encourage growth and ultimately drive up living standards. ""If businesses don't foresee growth and a more optimistic outlook in the next few months, then we could be in for a bumpy ride this autumn."" From the Bank of Scotland came a report on oil and gas, showing that a third of firms intended (at the start of this year) to keep cutting jobs through 2016. More than half of Scottish firms in the sector reported a severe or quite bad impact from the oil price downturn. And for all the hopes that business leaders will turn their attention to exports, this sector - with notable successes in exports over recent years - appeared to be pulling back on its interest in expansion overseas. Scottish Engineering, representing the sector, last week put out its regular membership survey. The headline offered reassurance that things were ""holding steady"". On closer inspection, what it meant was that the signs of decline were steadily continuing. Among smaller engineering firms, order intake was up for 28% of those responding, and down for 44%. Medium sized companies were also clearly tipped to the negative. And output volumes were showing similar margins. Said chief executive Bryan Buchan: ""Our sector is suffering from stagnation... We appear to be marking time in terms of capital investment"". He blames the oil and gas downturn, of course, along with a global slowdown and uncertainty from that EU referendum. At the start of this week, there was the Scottish Item Club of economists, hosted by business consultancy EY. (Item is the Independent Treasury Economic Model - that is, a reputable model of the economy developed at the Treasury, with numbers independently applied by economists.) It's in the forecasting business, which can be dismissed as a mug's game. It's almost always wrong. But what it can show us is a direction of travel. So after cutting its forecast for 2016 Scottish output growth last November to 1.9%, it has looked again at the evidence and concluded that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth over this calendar year now looks like 1.2%. The oil gloom continues, and construction is running out of steam. ""GDP is becalmed,"" it headlines. In the second half of last year, it rose only 0.1%, and it was only positive because construction has been performing a lot better than manufacturing and services. ""The fallout from the oil bust appears to be percolating across the Scottish economy,"" it says. ""As a result of the overall malaise, the buoyancy of the labour market has faded, while survey results point to sluggish growth at best."" The most positive news the Scottish Item Club can offer is that consumer spending is holding things together, as government retreats, business investment stalls and exports struggle. Consumers are helped by low interest rates and a modest rise in real earnings. But a lot of their spending is on top of very high household debt. Some think it unsustainably high. That's while the British economy is on track to reach 2.3% growth. A smaller but still significant gap is expected to continue into 2017 (with Scottish growth up to 2%) and again the year after. And that gap is most glaring in the unemployment figures. As I've noted before, Scotland's unemployment rate has stuck above 6%, clearly above the UK as a whole. Job creation has been poor in Scotland, while the southern neighbours have been churning out new jobs at a rate that's been startling economists. If it weren't for a large number of Scots leaving the workforce last year, for unclear reasons, the unemployment figures could now be heading sharply upwards. We'll get another update next week from the Office for National Statistics. It's not been relentlessly grim.  The annual EY report on inward investment and the attractiveness of the UK's nations and regions recently showed Scotland performing very well, relative to most others. That is as the market for attracting Foreign Direct Investment has changed, and projects are typically smaller. While heaping praise on Scotland for attracting software projects and business services, the EY report came with warnings not to rest on its laurels; manufacturing projects are not coming to Scotland, and the ""Northern Powerhouse"" policy from Whitehall, to boost the north of England, is making it a tougher competitor. While Scotland is good at attracting investment from the well-travelled trade routes across the Atlantic, it is not so good at getting existing foreign investors to expand, and it needs to do more to attract Chinese and Indian investors. Finally, there is the hotel trade. The latest from BDO's survey of activity is a reminder that, for all the new capacity added in Aberdeen in recent years, occupancy and rates have tanked. The rest of the country has been doing very well, however, and it has been sustained for around five years. As we can see around us at the BBC office in Glasgow, the hopes of building a ""digital quarter"" have been re-directed towards hospitality (though we're still a long way from a decent pub). To all this last week, the Scottish Parliament noted that the economy remains ""resilient"".  Technically, that's true. It's not in recession, but it's a close run thing. And if all this survey material is the equivalent of kicking the economy's tyres, its resilience doesn't feel, well, very resilient. Someone else who has been watching the negative data pile up has been Jeremy Peat, visiting professor at Strathclyde University and former chief economist in RBS's heyday. He wrote in The Herald this week that this needs urgent attention and a lot of focus from the Scottish government. He urged those in St Andrew's House not to expend their energy on the minutiae of tax planning and block grant calculation at the expense of figuring out how to get the economy growing.

The 25-year-old, who has been capped 28 times for the Springboks, made his Ulster debut against Edinburgh in February after missing the start of the campaign with an anterior cruciate ligament rupture.

+"I include in that the anti-Americanism that surrounded the invasion of Iraq and the trauma of the financial crash. Dispirited. Back in 2004 and 2008 Americans were by and large united, or at the very least they were not so angrily divided. One might think that the sight of swastikas on American streets would indeed unite the country in unwavering purpose. Not so. The country is so mired in political division that even Nazi symbols have become political symbols some can live with if they feel that condemning them would give succour to their opposition. And the man running the country is actively widening that divide. There's little point parsing the rationale of President Trump's defence yesterday of the ""fine people"" who took part in the white supremacist march in Charlottesville. I doubt he himself was even trying to make a reasoned case. I suspect that rant of a press conference was driven more by his sense of personal grievance - his anger at being attacked over his initial response to Charlottesville - than by his views on race. But Mr Trump's failure to unambiguously and repeatedly condemn those far-right, racist groups gives them oxygen and strikes a blow at the heart of American identity. American prides itself on being centrist, on not having the European tendency of flirting with extremist groups. Respected veteran political commentators have often told me that the US always gravitates to the centre ground. It sure didn't look like that in Charlottesville - ask Germany, or Italy, or Spain. And if America is going to become just another country, albeit with a lot more weapons, no wonder the world is revising its opinion. Dismissive. The degree to which Americans talk about themselves as a special, unique country has often struck me as a little grandiose. You don't hear the French, or Brits, or Australians talk about themselves that way - though they may well feel it. But perhaps it takes the loss of that uniqueness to make us realise how real it was and how much the world relied on it. This summer I spent time in the UK, France and Spain. In all three countries, leaders are trying to figure out how to get by without American leadership on critical issues like climate change and trade, while the general publics increasingly see the US as a non-entity. It's not even seen as a joke, people are saddened by America's diminished global status. Europeans have long had a complicated and somewhat insecure relationship with the US, part admiration, part jealousy, part irritation. But this year the reaction in Europe to America felt different. Continental Europe is feeling more confident, the economy is doing better and far-right groups have been defeated at the ballot box. Even Britain's decision to withdraw from the EU doesn't get much attention - Brexit is old news in France and Germany. That newfound confidence, mixed with America's clear dysfunction, does indeed create a sense of dismissiveness. For many Europeans, indeed many foreigners, Trump is a spectacle, a reality show on steroids. But that's about the sum of Europe's interest in America right now. Mr Trump's approval ratings are slipping fast. The overwhelming majority of Americans are appalled by all that the hideous scenes in Charlottesville represent. Nothing is getting done in Congress. No wonder Americans are feeling disheartened. No wonder the world is figuring out how to get things done without their global superpower.","I 've just returned to Washington after a few weeks in Europe .

+"Uber, which connects passengers with drivers via a smartphone app, launched on Friday. It is the first time it has come to Wales after being granted an operator's licence in January and an Uber spokesman said more than 100 drivers had signed up in the city. Reporter Sophie Gidley tried it out, but was mistakenly charged ¡ê34.61 for a 3.24-mile trip after a GPS glitch. I had heard good things about Uber - a taxi app that allows you to hail a driver from the comfort of your smartphone. With its launch in Cardiff on Friday afternoon, I set off to the city centre to secure a cab. The fact I had to wait about 15 minutes, when the estimated time was three minutes, did make me wonder if things would go without a hitch. Sadly, my gut instinct proved right. A ride from Cardiff Castle back to BBC Wales in Llandaff cost me a staggering ¡ê34.61 for a trip little over three miles. Looking at the Uber fare breakdown, the app calculated we travelled 3.24 miles - with mileage charged at ¡ê1.25 per mile, that works out at ¡ê4.05. I also spent about 27 minutes in the car, at 15p per minute, which also works out at ¡ê4.05. Add those together, with a ¡ê2 base fare, it totals ¡ê10.10.

+"It is built with straight, parallel strings, promising a superior sound to a regular piano, in which the strings are installed diagonally. Barenboim launched the instrument at London's Royal Festival Hall, in advance of his Schubert recital series. He intends to perform the entire series on the new piano. Modern pianos have become highly standardized, with few changes to their fundamental design over the last 100 years. They are largely cross-strung, with the bass strings crossing over the middle and treble strings in an ""x"" pattern, allowing the sound to be concentrated on the centre of the soundboard. Barenboim was inspired to experiment with the design after playing Franz Liszt's restored grand piano during a trip to Siena, Italy in September 2011. ""The warmth and tonal characteristics of the traditional straight-strung instruments is so different from the homogenous tone produced by the modern piano across its entire range,"" he said. ""The clearly distinguishable voices and colour across its registers of Liszt's piano inspired me to explore the possibility of combining these qualities with the power, looks, evenness of touch, stability of tuning and other technical advantages of the modern piano."" He developed his idea with Belgian instrument maker Chris Maene, with support from Steinway & Sons. As well as the straight strings, the Barenboim-Maene piano features a double bridge and horizontal soundboard veins. According to a press release, the piano ""combines the touch, stability, and power of a modern piano with the transparent sound quality and distinguishable colour registers of more historic instruments"".

""If you look inside your own piano, you will notice that the strings are all crossing each other,"" she told the San Francisco Examiner in 2013. ""With the straight strung piano you get distinct registral differences - almost like listening to a choir where you have the bass, tenor, alto, and soprano voices.

A new inspection in January found progress in areas such as promoting British values but continued issues with safeguarding and teaching. Overall, Ofsted said the school did not meet all national minimum standards. The school opened in 1996 and has 237 pupils, including 153 boarders. After a series of Ofsted reports which highlighted concerns over cultural awareness, careers advice and facilities for boarders, the Department for Education placed restrictions on its intake. But the Madni Trust, which runs the school, challenged this and is currently allowed to operate normally. Following the recent inspection, Ofsted said progress continued to be ""variable"" with the attainment of year 11 pupils well below the national average.

+"An advertising campaign is being launched to publicise the change, which means from 20 June people can be fined without actually driving the car. There are estimated to be about 1.4 million motorists without insurance. At the moment uninsured drivers are prosecuted only after they have been caught actually driving.

The new offence will allow motorists to be prosecuted for simply owning a vehicle without insurance. Letters will be sent to drivers and, if they do nothing, they face a ¡ê100 fine followed by court action. If the vehicle remains uninsured - regardless of whether the fine is paid - further action will be taken. If the vehicle is on public land it could then be clamped, seized and destroyed. Alternatively court action could be taken, with the offender facing a fine of up to ¡ê1,000. Motorists who have declared their car as off the road will not be fined.

From February to November 1998 he was a member of the armed protection team based at Mirabella, the constituency home of the then Prime Minister and Sedgefield MP Tony Blair. The hearing heard how Dodds claimed he could not walk more than 10 metres because he had myalgic encephalopathy (ME), and that his wife Mandy was also ill and hypersensitive to sound.

+"The public was included in the choice of nominations for the honour of appearing on the next ¡ê20 note, to enter circulation in 2020. As with the new ¡ê5 and ¡ê10 notes from the Bank of England, being introduced this year and next, the ¡ê20 note will be made of plastic. This extends a rich history of changing currency in the UK and worldwide. The plastic notes - starting with the new ¡ê5 note featuring Sir Winston Churchill due to be issued in September - will eventually replace cotton paper notes, which have been used for more than 100 years. In many ways, this is a significant change in the way money is produced, not least because a Bank of England banknote will survive a spin in the washing machine for the first time. However, there are many other revolutionary developments in the way money has been made over many centuries. Ben Alsop, curator of the Citi Money Gallery at the British Museum, and Mieka Harris, education manager for the gallery, offer a snapshot of this rich history - with the help of five objects from the gallery's collection. This coin made from electrum - a natural alloy of gold and silver found in riverbeds - is one of the earliest examples of coins, and the beginnings of the Western tradition of coinage that is still going strong. It was minted in Lydia, in modern day western Turkey, in the 7th Century BC, making it more than 2,500 years old. These coins, featuring a lion's head, were of a consistent weight and purity. As a result, they held a value that allowed them to be used in cross-border trade - replacing the idea of two commodities effectively being swapped between traders. The tiny coin was of significant value, so was used in high-level trade, as gifts between rulers, and as payment to mercenary soldiers. The vast majority of the population would never see one, and continued to trade without coins - as had been the case for cities and empires for more than 2,000 years. Bartering, for example, still ran in parallel with trading using coins. Throughout history, coins have looked very different to the money we recognise today. This hollow-handled spade money was used in China in the early 6th Century BC, when the country was made up of a number of separate states In order to inspire confidence among the merchant classes to use this abstract concept of bronze money, it was shaped as an agricultural tool - an item recognised by these people, rather than an alien, round coin. Coins shaped as knives were also produced in China around 200 years later, as this was a shape recognised by those involved in warfare. Weight was much more important that shape in terms of value. Although its use was more widespread than the Lydian coins, the use of coins as currency did not filter down to the population at large until Roman times. The earliest banknote in the British Museum's collection is this grandly named Great Ming circulating treasure note from the 14th Century. It is an early example of ""paper"" money carrying a value. In this case, the one guan note is worth 1,000 coins, as can be seen from the illustration on the 34cm by 22cm note. It is actually made of mulberry bark. ""People started to call it 'flying cash', partly because of its convenience across high-level trade, but also because it no longer had the weight to it that coins would have had,"" says Ms Harris. ""So if you were not holding it properly, it could potentially fly away."" Backed by the central authority, it also features a border of dragons, and an inscription that warns against counterfeiting. The warning seems to have been ignored. Owing to counterfeits and inflation - which rose as printing money became easier - China stopped issuing paper notes in the early 15th Century and did not start again until the 19th Century. When the British Isles were gripped by civil war in the 17th Century, there was huge instability and a lack of small denomination currency. Small traders and other establishments stepped in when the central authority was unable to provide this coinage, by issuing their own tokens. This 17th Century token was issued, according to the inscription, by John Ewing, who traded near St George's Church in Southwark. He was a tobacconist, hence the image of a monkey smoking a pipe. Customers could use this token in his store, but other local traders may have accepted it, too. This private production of money was in many ways a forerunner to local currencies seen today such as the Brixton Pound and the Bristol Pound, as well as cryptocurrencies or digital currency such as Bitcoin. However, these tokens were not used for long. A Royal proclamation, following the restoration of the English monarchy in 1660, clamped down on their production. Although money is inherently conservative in nature in order to be accepted by the general population, there have been some revolutionary developments. One was the birth of the credit card, even though credit and debt have existed for as long as money itself. This particular card is an early example from the US, from the 1960s. Credit accounts were already common in individual stores, but credit cards allowed people to use one card to shop on credit across the numerous stores and not have to carry notes and coins. ""To get people using them, they were mailed out to people who had not asked for them, just to try to encourage people to use this new form of payment,"" says Mr Alsop. This was not particularly scientific, so there were examples of credit cards being sent to toddlers. There was no automation in the credit card, as is the case today, so shoppers would hand over the card to a shopkeeper who would make a telephone call to a bank. That bank would then check with the shopper's bank by phone and eventually the transaction would be authorised.",Debate has begun over the choice of JMW Turner to be @placeholder on a Bank of England banknote .,imposed,commemorated,blamed,included,lost

+"""We regret to announce that Keith Emerson died last night at his home in Santa Monica, Los Angeles,"" read a statement on the band's Facebook page. Emerson was considered one of the top keyboard players of the prog rock era. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Santa Monica police confirmed to the BBC. His death was being investigated as a suicide, police added. A police spokesman said Emerson's body was found in the early hours of Friday morning by his girlfriend Mari Kawaguchi at their flat in the Californian city. Former bandmate Carl Palmer said: ""I  am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend and brother-in-music, Keith Emerson. ""Keith was a gentle soul whose love for music and passion for his performance as a keyboard player will remain unmatched for many years to come."" Inspired by Jimi Hendrix's theatrics with the electric guitar, Emerson was famous for his showmanship and outlandish on-stage performance style. ""That part of the act was something that just felt natural to do; something that allowed me be more expressive,"" he told Counterculture magazine. ELP achieved an international following and were particularly popular in Britain and Japan. Several of the group's albums, including Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery entered the top five on the British chart. Tarkus, released in 1971, featured an opening track lasting more than 20 minutes, inspired by the fictional Tarkus character - a half-tank, half-armadillo creature that would appear on stage at gigs. Before ELP, Emerson was a member of The Nice, which formed in 1967 but disbanded three years later. In later life he pursued a solo career and remained active in the music business. He was forced to call off a tour in 2010 due to abnormal growth in his colon, but had a tour of Japan scheduled for next month. His last concert took place in July 2015 at the Barbican in London, where he performed alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra in a tribute to Robert Moog, the inventor of the Moog synthesizer.

+"Transparency International UK said billions of pounds of ""dirty cash"" is entering Britain every year. But a fragmented network of regulators means that only a very small amount is being investigated. Of 22 supervisory bodies, only one meets best practice for enforcement action, the group found. Rachel Davies, a senior advocacy manager at the group, said: ""Given that the Prime Minister has rightly said that dirty cash is not welcome in the UK, it is appalling that a shambolic system is failing to stop that flow."" She said total fines last year in the seven sectors regulated by HMRC, including estate agents, were ?¡ê768,000, less than the average house price in central London. David Cameron promised in July to make it harder for UK properties to be bought with ""plundered or laundered cash"". Transparency International urged the government to go further by stripping the various private sector institutions and professional bodies of their anti-money laundering roles, and creating a ""super"" supervisor instead. However, others said that rather than a radical overhaul, more funding was needed for existing regulators.

+"Amazon Dash are buttons that you stick on household items. And with a click, you can re-order your dishwashing detergent from the e-retailer and it will arrive on your doorstep along with your other purchases. Connecting things wirelessly to the internet is termed the Internet of Things (IoT). I recently made a programme about what is being hyped as the next big thing in tech. The reason is because of the numbers involved. Imagine your household gadgets, smart meters, and other objects are all connected to the internet. For instance, wearable technology such as fitness bands that track your daily activities are recorded online (and tell you that you need to sleep more). Driverless cars are another example. Thinking about how many gadgets there are in the world, it's not surprising that the IoT is being viewed with such excitement. ABI Research estimates that there are already more than 16bn wireless connected devices, an increase of 20% from a year earlier. By 2020, Gartner forecasts that the market will generate incremental revenue of more than $300bn. No wonder Amazon wants a slice. The company is known for making virtually no profits despite strong revenues and a sizeable market share. For instance, Amazon has a dominant share of the e-book market and is one of the top 10 retailers in the United States, largely due to its low prices and undercutting bricks and mortar competitors. Last year, Amazon posted a loss of $241m despite revenues of $89bn. For years, its revenues and profits have been headed in opposite directions. From 2007, Amazon's revenues surged from $15bn, but profits steadily fell from $436m to a loss now. Its share price fell by about 20% last year but has since recovered some ground. However, analysts are wondering how long investors will support a minimally profitable business. Founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos is an active experimenter, trying everything from drones to make customer deliveries, to gadgets such as the Kindle and Fire smartphone. Some have been successful, but many have not. Mr Bezos will be banking on IoT being the next big thing and not just hype, and that his foray will pay off.",Amazon is known for wanting to provide everything that you buy and it s @placeholder foray aims to do just that .,lost,appointed,major,latest,personal

Those last three are seats the Conservatives have won before but that was back in Margaret Thatcher's annus mirabilis of 1983 when the Tories won a record 14 seats. That number might not be the limit though if seats like the Wrexhams and Clwyd Souths of this world come in to play as some optimistic Tories expect. And the Conservatives are not the only people eyeing up Labour seats. Plaid Cymru are bullish about their chances in Ynys Mon - a seat where they narrowly missed out two years ago. The Liberal Democrats will also throw everything they have got at their former stronghold of Cardiff Central. All in all it's an election that could not have come at a worse time for Labour, although at least the UKIP threat in the party's ex-mining bastions seems to be fading But, and it is a big but, elections are fickle, unpredictable things and these are very unpredictable times.

They claim the force's officers ""conducted the investigation with a mindset of guilt towards them"" from the start. Mr Coutts told the court on Monday he took on the job of investigating the claims in July 2003. Counsel for the claimants, Anthony Metzer QC,  suggested his role was to right a ""miscarriage of justice"" allegedly perpetrated by the men. ""I never saw my role as an avenging angel,"" he replied. ""I saw my role as having been given this task to carry out a professional investigation - that's what I sought to do.

The government and Tepco were both ordered to compensate the evacuees. Around 80,000 people were forced to flee their homes when three reactors failed at the plant after a tsunami that struck six years ago.

+"In an email sent to every customer, TalkTalk said scammers were using stolen information to trick people into handing over banking details. TalkTalk said it had sent the email to every customer although only a few thousand account numbers went astray. It has set up a dedicated phone line for customers targeted by the scammers. The theft of data was unearthed when TalkTalk investigated a sudden rise in complaints from customers about scam calls between October and December 2014, said a spokeswoman. ""We have now concluded a thorough investigation working with an external security company, and we have become aware that some limited non-sensitive information may have been illegally accessed in violation of our security procedure,"" she said. The attackers got at some of TalkTalk's internal systems via a third-party that also had access to its network. Legal action is now being taken against this unnamed third party. The information stolen included names, addresses, phone numbers and TalkTalk account numbers. The company was confident that no sensitive or payment data went astray in the hack. ""We are aware of a small, but nonetheless significant, number of customers who have been directly targeted by these criminals and we have been supporting them directly,"" said a statement from TalkTalk.  It would not put an exact figure on the number affected but said it was in the ""small thousands"". The company currently has about four million customers. The scammers appear to be using the stolen details to trick people into thinking calls are coming from legitimate TalkTalk customer service staff. People are then tricked into handing over bank details or into signing up and paying for security software and services they do not need. Although TalkTalk said it became aware of the data loss late last year, the BBC has been contacted by one customer who said the scammers working to a similar pattern called in August. His wife's familiarity with computers helped her quickly spot that the call was fake. ""They said our computer was infected with a virus and used various social engineering techniques to try to get more info, but she's pretty clued up,"" said Richard Lee-Williams from Wales. ""Over the following few days she got several more calls but from a different person each time trying the same trick,"" he said. At the time TalkTalk was ""dismissive"" of the complaint Mr Lee-Williams made about the scam. A TalKTalk spokeswoman said without more details it was hard to know if the same conmen were involved in the August and December attacks. She invited Mr Lee-Williams to contact TalkTalk to resolve his complaint. Customers who have been hit by the scammers can call a dedicated number, 0800 083 2710, to get help from the telecoms firm. Some reports suggest customers have lost thousands to the scammers. Many TalkTalk customers have taken to the company's support forums to report that they have been contacted by the scammers.

+"Traffic, the lure of video screens and parental anxieties are conspiring to keep children indoors, it says. Evidence suggests the problem is worse in the UK than other parts of Europe, and may help explain poor UK rankings in childhood satisfaction surveys. The trust is launching a consultation on tackling ""nature deficit disorder"". ""This is about changing the way children grow up and see the world,"" said Stephen Moss, the author, naturalist and former BBC Springwatch producer who wrote the Natural Childhood report for the National Trust. ""The natural world doesn't come with an instruction leaflet, so it teaches you to use your creative imagination. ""When you build a den with your mates when you're nine years old, you learn teamwork - you disagree with each other, you have arguments, you resolve them, you work together again - it's like a team-building course, only you did it when you were nine."" The trust argues, as have other bodies in previous years, that the growing dissociation of children from the natural world and internment in the ""cotton wool culture"" of indoor parental guidance impairs their capacity to learn through experience. It cites evidence showing that: Yet British parents feel more pressure to provide gadgets for their children than in other European countries. The phrase nature deficit disorder was coined in 2005 by author Richard Louv, who argued that the human cost of ""alienation from nature"" was measured in ""diminished use of the senses, attention difficulties and higher rates of physical and emotional illnesses"". In the UK as in many other countries, rates of obesity, self-harm and mental health disorders diagnosed in children have climbed significantly since the 1970s. But nature deficit disorder is not generally regarded as a medical condition. ""There's undoubtedly a phenomenon that's not good for health, which is about not giving access to outdoors or green space, safe risk-taking and so on,"" said David Pencheon, a medical doctor who now heads the National Health Service's sustainable development unit. ""But I wouldn't say we've identified a medical condition. ""In fact we don't want to 'medicalise' it, we should see it as part of everyday life - if you medicalise it, people say 'you'd better go to your doctor and take a pill'."" But despite growing recognition of nature deficit disorder, policies aiming to tackle it appear thin on the ground. Mr Moss cites statistics showing that the area where children are allowed to range unsupervised around their homes has shrunk by 90% since the 1970s. Whereas some reasons behind the parental ""cotton wool culture"" are not based in logic - most sexual molestation occurs in the home, for example, not in parks - the one ""genuine massive danger"" is traffic. ""I think the first step for any child is playing outdoors in the street; and in the 40 years since I grew up, traffic has increased hugely, and that's the main reason why none of us let our kids out on their own,"" Mr Moss told BBC News. ""The only solution would be to have pedestrian priority on every residential street in Britain; when you are driving along the street, if there are children playing, they have priority."" The report advocates having teachers take children for lessons outdoors when possible, with urban schools using parks. It also says that authorities who cite ""health and safety"" as a reason for stopping children playing conkers or climbing trees should be aware that successive Health and Safety Executive heads have advocated a measure of risk-taking in children's lives. The changes in childhood in previous decades are now filtering through into adulthood, where levels of obesity are also rising. Dr Pencheon observed that although doctors are beginning to prescribe exercise instead of drugs where it is indicated, much more could be done from a policy perspective. ""One of the problems here is that the NHS is not incentivised financially to do public health,"" he said. ""The healthcare system is run on a rescue basis - people come to us when they're ill, we patch them up and try to get them going again - that's not the culture of a system designed to keep people healthy."" The National Trust is now beginning a two-month consultation aimed at gathering views and examples of good and bad practice from the public and specialists. These will eventually be turned into a set of policy recommendations. ""As a nation, we need to do everything we can to make it easy and safe for our children to get outdoors,"" said National Trust director-general Fiona Reynolds.

""There's an enormous difference between danger and fear. They are not the same thing. If you're unprepared, then they are the same. ""Fortunately they prepare us enough so we can do the job well."" What does space sound like? A little bit like the in-out, in-out of breathing. ""That is the reality. You are out there in eternal silence. All you can really hear is the inhalation and exhalation of your own breath which is a reminder of the fact you are a tiny little bubble of life in an immense emptiness,"" Cmdr Hadfield says.

+"The report outlines a number of failings including poor support and a lack of appropriate housing. Chief Inspector of Probation Dame Glenys Stacey said the wider support children received was ""sometimes... woefully inadequate"". The government said children's services had to protect this group by law. The report was produced from the joint findings of HM Inspectorate of Probation and the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales. Local authorities are responsible for providing accommodation for homeless young people of that age, and the report said many had already been in the care system. Inspectors found: Inspectors said some of the reasons for the failures appeared to be inadequate assessment, a limited range of suitable accommodation, a lack of understanding of each child's needs and treating them as if they were adults. They added that none of the local authorities they spoke to blamed failures on a lack of funding. All the 16 and 17-year-olds whose cases were examined by probation and social care inspectors had experienced some sort of trauma in their earlier life and, the inspectors said, had often often demonstrated ""difficult behaviour"". Crucially, the report concluded that these children were ""not yet capable of independence and still needed some form of parenting or support"". The report said local authorities ""should avoid"" placing youngsters in accommodation with adults who may pose a risk of harm to them, and youth offending teams should work together to improve the support for these children - including tailoring their support to the needs of each child. ""The wider support children received was sometimes excellent but in other cases, woefully inadequate,"" Dame Glenys said. ""Support for these children needs to be more consistent, effective and in line with the expectations set by the courts, so that they can successfully become independent adults."" A government spokesperson said: ""The law is clear that children's services must protect any child without a home and give them the support they need - and this age group is no exception. ""The number of 16 and 17-year-olds being placed in bed and breakfast accommodation has fallen but we know there is more to do.

+"In Northern Ireland, learning a second language is not a statutory part of the primary school curriculum. In England and Scotland, by contrast, primary school pupils are expected to learn a foreign language. The review of primary languages in Northern Ireland has been carried out by researchers from Stranmillis University College. The authors surveyed language learning at over 100 schools. They found that Spanish and French were most popular in schools where languages were taught. Some pupils also learned German or Mandarin. However, not all primary schools taught an additional language. This led the authors to conclude that there was ""a lack of equity in provision for children"" across the country. They also found little consistency in how often languages were taught to pupils, and when they began to learn a language. Some primary principals also expressed concerns about the amount of support and resources available to their teachers and pupils. However, the majority of principals and teachers who participated in the study agreed that learning an additional language was important and valuable. But they also said teaching foreign languages was not a priority for schools as it was not assessed or measured. The report's authors said that the development of language skills was ""vital for economic prosperity, social cohesion and the acceptance of diverse cultural identities"". ""It is hoped that the findings of this study may encourage policy makers, business and educational providers to support the revision and improvement of current curriculum provision in additional language learning,"" the report said. It also said that language learning was ""conducive to economic growth and that can enhance the lives and future employability of children and young people"".

+"The financial institutions are seeking a total of 28bn yen ($273m; ?¡ê164m) in compensation. Olympus was entangled in one of Japan's biggest accounting scandals, which came to light in October 2011. That was when then chief executive Michael Woodford turned whistleblower and revealed investment losses which had been hidden for many years. The six trust banks include Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, the Nomura Trust, and State Street Trust. The accounting scandal was made public when Mr Woodford was dismissed from his post after challenging chairman Tsuyoshi Kikukawa and the board over suspiciously large payments related to acquisitions. That led to an investigation being launched, which revealed a cover-up of losses dating back to the 1990s. Mr Kikukawa, former executive vice-president Mr Mori and former auditing officer Mr Yamada were arrested in February 2012 and indicted on suspected violation of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. All three had admitted to hiding losses.

+"It hasn't quite happened like that - despite some apocalyptic warnings before the referendum. Today the FTSE 100 is up more than 2% and is now above its level for all of June save referendum day. The FTSE 250 - a better barometer of British business health - is up nearly 2%, though still significantly lower than it was on referendum day, its highest for the year, when many market participants believed Remain would win on 23 June. Government borrowing costs are falling. And sterling has stabilised. So, are investors now comfortable with the decision to leave the EU? Crisis over, so to speak? Many argue that would be a peculiar judgement to make. Markets are built to discover prices, not to make political points. The volatility in the markets in the run-up to the referendum and the fierce falls in its aftermath were clear signals of participants struggling to judge business and currency values given the uncertainty around the UK's economic future. Also, that something markets thought was going to happen - a vote to remain in the EU - did not. Hence a big sell-off and a significant decline in the value of sterling. Big sell-offs present buying opportunities, and are therefore often followed by rises as investors look for bargains. Bears are followed by bulls. Exporting companies are also helped by a weaker currency as their products tend to become more competitive. And for any businesses that earn revenues in dollars - such as some pharmaceutical and oil companies - a decline in sterling is positive for profits. In uncertain times, price discovery can be a tricky business. As UBS's Bill O'Neill said on referendum night, ""markets are a discounting machine and they will overreact first, think later"". Well, they have now had time to think. And many of the signals are rather better than some feared. First, the market system has remained operational. Mark Carney's statement early on Friday morning that the Bank of England stood ready to provide all necessary support maintained investor confidence that liquidity would not dry up. Participants did not simply leave the field of play. Second, as Samuel Tombs of Pantheon Economics told me, it has become clear that Britain is not heading for a ""hard Brexit"". The invoking of Article 50 - which starts the two-year clock ticking on Britain's exit from the EU - may not happen for months. And some big figures - like George Osborne, still of course the Chancellor of the Exchequer - have said that Britain should remain a member of the single market, an important point for many businesses that trade with the rest of the EU. Yes, government borrowing costs are falling. But many argue that is down to a ""flight to safety"" - the purchasing of government debt - rather than a judgement on the future performance of the UK economy. What the relief rally of the past two days is not telling us is that anything fundamental about the economics of Britain's decision to leave the EU has changed. Consensus Digest, which brings together the economic judgements of the major forecasters, suggests that economic growth rates will fall over the rest of 2016 and 2017 as businesses delay investments. We are yet to see much - if any - economic data about what has happened in the real world post the referendum. Of course, that data - released over the next few months and years - may not be as poor as some predict. Or it may be worse. But, once we have some facts, we will at least be able to look through the gyrations of the markets and make a clearer judgement about the effects on the UK, European and global economies of the decision taken on 23 June.","Surely , by now , stock markets should be through the floor and sterling @placeholder in a gutsy grapple with the Zimbabwean dollar for the crown of least - liked currency on global markets ?",occurred,portrayed,settled,engaged,coincided

+"The self-styled guru, known as Rampal, is wanted in connection with a 2006 murder case and for contempt of court. His supporters threw stones and opened fire when police tried to raid his ashram in the northern state of Haryana. The bodies of four women and a child were subsequently found at the site. A fifth woman, aged 20, died at a local hospital after leaving the ashram. The causes of their deaths have not been revealed. Police say the bodies did not ""bear any injuries"". The guru was led out of the complex in an ambulance late on Wednesday, as dozens of local villagers cheered the police. He has been taken to the state capital, Chandigarh, a senior police official told the BBC. He is likely to appear in court on Thursday. A week-long stand-off at the Satlok Ashram - some 170km (105 miles) north-east of Delhi - escalated on Tuesday as police moved in to arrest Rampal. Police fired tear gas and water cannon, and used bulldozers to try to break into the sprawling complex, while ashram members threw stones and other missiles and opened fire. Hundreds of people were hurt in the operation. Police accuse the guru's armed devotees of holding people hostage, and using women and children as human shields. At least 270 people have been arrested in connection with Tuesday's clashes and charged with rioting, illegal detention, attempt to murder and waging war against the state. The authorities also cut off power and water supplies to the site. Mani Ram, a devotee who managed to escape, told the Indian Express newspaper that ashram authorities had prevented them from leaving for two days, insisting police would kill them if they went outside. Rampal is accused of involvement in a murder case dating from 2006 in which a man died in a clash at another of his ashrams. He denied the allegations and was released on bail. The authorities ordered his arrest on contempt charges after he repeatedly failed to appear in court. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had set a final deadline for Rampal to appear in court on Monday in the contempt case.

+"There is no other forum where top-level US officials find themselves face-to-face with their North Korean counterparts. The annual Asean Regional Forum (ARF) brings together 27 countries from the Asia Pacific region, and offers opportunities for all kinds of useful bilateral conversations, given the presence of foreign ministers from China, Russia, Japan and the US. But it is the chance of face-to-face meetings with the North Korean foreign minister which raises the most tantalising possibilities. Arranging any other North Korean-US meeting is a complex business, involving a huge amount of negotiation over the protocol, agenda and even the meaning of such a meeting. They rarely happen. But at the ARF in Manila, Rex Tillerson, the US secretary of state, will be sitting in the same room as his North Korean counterpart. Will they chat? Shake hands? Ignore each other? Given the high stakes, journalists will watch eagerly to try to interpret any contact at all between the two sides. It brings to mind a previous ARF summit, which I attended in Brunei in July 2002. At the time US-North Korean tension had also escalated sharply. President George W Bush harboured an intense dislike for the brutalities of the North Korean regime. Hardliners in his administration believed he should stand up to such regimes, not negotiate with them. In the post 9/11 climate, Mr Bush was inclined to divide the world into friends and enemies of the US. And his intelligence services had uncovered evidence that North Korea was cheating on its commitment, agreed under President Bill Clinton, not to develop its embryonic nuclear weapons programme. There had been no high-level contacts between the two countries since Mr Bush had come to office. The president had just included North Korea in his memorable Axis of Evil speech. North Korea had been admitted to the ARF just two years earlier, at the height of then-South Korean President Kim Dae-jung's  Sunshine Policy of rapprochement towards the North. At that time the deal President Clinton had struck with the North Koreans - to fund a civilian nuclear energy programme for Pyongyang in return for dismantling its plutonium facilities - was still intact. The US had even sent Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to Pyongyang in October 2000, to meet Kim Jong-il. But by the time the first North Korean Foreign Minister Paek Nam-sun was due to attend an ARF summit, the one in Brunei in 2002, relations had already deteriorated. So there was a great deal of speculation over whether Colin Powell, who had replaced Ms Albright as secretary of state, would meet, or even talk to him. Journalists then, as now, were kept in a media centre far from where the senior officials were meeting. A select few photographers and cameramen record the handshakes of the more important participants, but many of the meetings are only confirmed later by officials. By the afternoon of 31 July, news had leaked out - there had been a meeting between Mr Powell and Mr Paek. It dominated headlines from the forum that day. But what had they discussed? A large crowd of us gathered for the briefing given by the State Department spokesman Richard Boucher. Questions about the encounter flew from the floor. He looked a little sheepish, and explained that it was an informal get-together, during a coffee break, which had lasted just 15 minutes. What with protocol and translation, he said, a lot of the time was used up expressing pleasantries. The North Koreans had indicated a willingness to have further high-level talks. Mr Powell had agreed, but said these would need to address some tough issues. And that was it. That was not the full picture. Colin Powell was a moderate within the Bush administration, who believed engaging North Korea, even with some evidence it was not complying with its commitment to freeze its nuclear programme, was the only constructive way forward. He had a room prepared at the ARF for the meeting, and the North Koreans had been alerted by US officials well in advance. He had not informed President Bush of his plan, although he did apparently tell National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, who may have passed it on to Mr Bush. The secretary of state had, after conversations with President Bush, come up with what he called a ""Bold Approach"" to re-engaging with North Korea, which would stress the US willingness to help with humanitarian needs in a country still recovering from the devastating famines of the 1990s, while carefully finding ways to rebuild trust over the nuclear programme. That was what he wanted to convey to Mr Paek. In the meeting he stressed that the US did not wish to attack North Korea. As we now know, Colin Powell's impromptu act of diplomacy went nowhere. Hardliners within the Bush administration around Vice-President Dick Cheney were reportedly furious about the meeting. Mistrust over North Korea's nuclear programme persisted. And the US invasion of Iraq may well have convinced the North Koreans that only by obtaining a nuclear weapons capability could they be sure of deterring Mr Bush from attempting regime change in Asia.","Amid high tensions between the US and North Korea , all eyes are now on a regional forum attended by top envoys from both countries .

+"Microsoft bought the block-building phenomenon in 2014 for $2.5bn (?¡ê1.8bn) - a huge deal that had fans of the game worried about its future. The US firm promised not to ruin its popular formula, and instead said it would invest in bringing Minecraft to the next level. At an event in San Francisco's trendy Mission District, its Xbox division showed off the virtual reality version of Minecraft for the first time. ""It makes you feel like you're inside the world of Minecraft,"" said Palmer Luckey, creator of the Oculus Rift VR headset. Like many VR experiences, it's utterly absorbing. For those obsessed with Minecraft's addictive building process, it is a big step up from watching it on a normal screen. But for a game popular with children, there's one figure that might worry parents: $1,500. That's the suggested amount they'll need to spend if they want to buy an Oculus Rift headset and a PC powerful enough to power it. That's surely too expensive, I suggested to Mr Luckey. ""It isn't,"" he said. ""I mean, it is expensive relative to everything else out in the world, but if you look at it compared to a mobile phone or television, you're getting a lot more technology. ""It's not like this is simple hardware, and the cost is going to go down over time."" It'll need to go down pretty sharp-ish if it is to be adopted by mainstream audiences soon. Until then, I'd predict a minor resurgence of the games arcade, a place where people go to play high-end games that they can't feasibly afford to buy for their homes. Minecraft on Oculus was one of several games on display at Xbox's Spring Showcase, a chance for journalists - and a few influential YouTube gamers, naturally - to get hands-on with tomorrow's blockbusters. I lost an hour within the gripping world of Quantum Break. It's a game in which you play Jack Joyce, an unwilling action hero who develops the ability to manipulate time after an experiment gone awry. If that sounds like yet another predictable scenario for a game, you'd be right - but the title's mechanics (think ""bullet time"", only better) make it something special. Also look out for Tom Clancy's The Division - set in a painstakingly true-to-life Manhattan. Many of the titles on show were also being pushed as great to play on PC, via Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system. ""If you look at the numbers, PC gaming is the fastest growing segment of gaming out there,"" said head of Xbox Phil Spencer. ""It's natural that we'd focus on gaming on Windows."" When it comes to virtual reality, Microsoft has opted not to make its own headset - although it is developing the augmented reality-focused Hololens - but is instead working to make itself compatible with the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. On the price debate, Mr Spencer said he believed virtual reality would follow the path of high definition TVs - a luxury item to start with, but hard to resist once experienced. ""The early adopters will be there to help spur the VR industry,"" he said. Given that Sony's PlayStation 4 will be getting its own VR headset, I asked if Microsoft too might consider making its own gear. ""I absolutely think it could be something that is part of our roadmap,"" he said. But he stressed the focus now was entirely on making Windows 10 fully-compatible with high-end VR titles. Of course, new games mean nothing unless gamers can get online to play them. And of late, that's been something of a challenge. Poor reliability on Xbox Live - the service Xbox gamers use to play against each other over the internet - has stressed out thousands. Disgruntled fans include rapper Snoop Dogg, who - in a video too profane to link to here - begged Bill Gates to fix the problem or he'd defect to PlayStation. Mr Spencer apologised for the issues. ""It's obviously always regretful,"" he said. ""This last outage was a concern, we learned from it. We understood exactly what the issue was, it just took a little more time that we would have liked."" He denied that the company had been the victim of a hack, saying that while its network was under constant attack it was not, as had been claimed, felled by a coordinated effort to cut gamers off. And on the risk of losing Snoop Dogg: ""Snoop's been a long-time gamer and long-time supporter of Xbox. ""I understand when people get upset. I take it as a sign of the love and commitment people have for what we are as a game platform.""

+"Bill Burr had advised users to change their password every 90 days and to muddle up words by adding capital letters, numbers and symbols - so, for example, ""protected"" might become ""pr0t3cT3d4!"". The problem, he believes, is that the theory came unstuck in practice. Mr Burr now acknowledges that his 2003 manual was ""barking up the wrong tree"". He disclosed his views in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Current guidelines no longer suggest passwords should be frequently changed, because people tend to respond by making only small alterations to their existing passwords - for example, changing ""monkey1"" into ""monkey2""- which are relatively easy to deduce. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that it takes longer for computers to crack a random mix of words - such as ""pig coffee wandered black"" - than it does for them to guess a word with easy-to-remember substitutions - such as ""br0k3n!"". Mr Burr's original advice was distributed by the US government's National Institute of Standards and Technology. It has since been amended several times, with the most recent edition being released in June. ""Anything published under the Nist banner tends to be influential, so these guidelines have had a long lasting impact,"" said Prof Alan Woodward, from the University of Surrey. ""But we've known for some considerable time that these guidelines actually had a rather unfortunate effect. ""For example, the more often you ask someone to change their password, the weaker the passwords they typically choose. ""And, as we have all now so many online accounts, the situation is compounded so it encourages behaviours such as password reuse across systems."" Britain's National Cyber Security Centre issued its own guidance on the matter in 2015. It recommended that organisations abandoned a policy of pushing their users into regular password resets, and that they should support the use of password managers - programs that securely store hundreds of different logins, avoiding the need to memorise each one. ""It's good that password advice is now being updated to be based on evidence,"" said Dr Steven Murdoch, from University College London. ""But there is still traditional advice in other areas of computer security being perpetuated despite us knowing it won't work.

+"In the future, 2016 may be remembered as the year in which Westerners lost faith in the liberal story. It may therefore be remembered as the counterpoint to 1989. In 1989, with the end of the Cold War and the collapse of communism, it seemed that the liberal story had won. The liberal story says that humankind is inevitably marching towards a global society of free markets and democratic politics. Those who willingly join the march of history by opening their borders and liberalising their markets and politics will be rewarded with peace and prosperity. Those who refuse to liberalise and globalise are doomed to failure. Bill Clinton, for example, confidently told the Chinese government that its refusal to liberalise Chinese politics put it ""on the wrong side of history"". In the 1990s and 2000s, the liberal story shaped not only the foreign policy of the United States and its allies, but also the domestic policies of governments across the world, from South Africa to Indonesia. However, since the global financial crisis of 2008, people all over the world have become increasingly disillusioned with the liberal story. It is no longer so clear that the Chinese Communist Party is on the wrong side of history, and authoritarian rulers such as Putin, Erdogan and Netanyahu are taking their countries in distinctly illiberal directions. The year 2016 - marked by the Brexit vote in Britain and the rise of Donald Trump in the United States - signifies the moment when this tidal wave of disillusionment has reached the liberal heartland of Western Europe and North America. Whereas a few years ago Americans and Europeans were still trying to liberalise Iraq and Libya at the point of the gun, they now have second thoughts even about American democracy and European identity. More and more Americans and Europeans are convinced that liberalisation and globalisation are a huge fraud that serves the interests of a tiny elite at the expense of the masses. In the long run, however, 2016 may turn out to be similar to 1968, 1933 and 1914. On all these previous occasions, Westerners lost faith in the liberal story only to eventually embrace it again. The people who voted for Hitler and Mussolini eventually built the West German and Italian democracies, and the youngsters who rioted in 1968 eventually went on to become Wall Street traders and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

Environmentalists warn that the event on the Yamuna banks will cause lasting damage to the area's biodiversity. They had petitioned the National Green Tribunal to cancel it. During its two-day hearing, the tribunal had posed tough questions to the government, asking them how they could allow such massive construction on the floodplains. On Wednesday, the government also faced protests in the parliament with the opposition parties questioning why the event was being allowed on the river bed and why was the army roped in to help with organising a private festival. The World Culture Festival would be held across 1,000 acres (400 hectares) of the river bank and would feature a seven-acre stage for 35,000 musicians and dancers. According to the invitation cards issued by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to attend the festival opening and President Pranab Mukherjee is to be present at the closing ceremony.

+"Another 2,200 were being sought as authorities targeted what they said was a secret structure within Turkey's police force. Turkey says a movement loyal to US-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen organised the July 2016 plot to bring down President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Earlier this month the president won a referendum on boosting his powers. As a result of the narrow victory Mr Erdogan can become head of the executive, beefing up the largely ceremonial role of Turkey's president. ""1,009 covert 'imams' in 72 provinces have been taken into custody so far,"" Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu was reported as saying, calling it an important step for Turkey. A list of 3,224 people had been compiled by police in an operation across Turkey's 81 provinces, reports said. In Istanbul alone, 390 suspects were being sought. It was widely expected that the post-coup purge would accelerate once President Erdogan achieved the victory he wanted in a referendum on expanding his powers. He feels emboldened and there's no longer a risk of jeopardising potential referendum votes. No matter that the opposition still contests the referendum results, their claim of widespread fraud backed by a scathing report from election observers. The president says the result is final and that's that. So on Wednesday the police bore the brunt of the detentions, but other institutions are likely to follow suit. The governing AKP party was full of Gulen supporters when Mr Erdogan and the cleric were staunch allies. It hasn't yet been purged and could now be targeted since the president has got his referendum victory. And even if not, it will be dangled over potential opponents like a sword of Damocles: speak out and your Gulen affiliation will be exposed. Since the coup, in which 249 people died, the government has accused the Gulenist movement of infiltrating the country's institutions including the police, military and judiciary and of running a state within a state. ""We are trying to cleanse members of FETO (the Gulenist movement)"" inside the armed forces, inside the judiciary and inside the police,"" President Erdogan told Reuters shortly before the raids.

Thousands of people have lost their jobs across Turkey's public institutions, including teachers and civil servants, and opposition media outlets have been closed down.

+"Anne Longfield said personal, social, health and economics education (PSHE) lessons should help children spot when they are being targeted by gangs. It follows reports children are being used by criminals as ""money mules"". She said children looking for ""a sense of belonging, fast money"" or ""glamour"" were at risk. Ms Longfield's research has found 46,000 children in England are involved in gangs. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Sunday Breakfast programme, the children's commissioner said children as young as 10 were being recruited into gangs that could be ""extremely violent, usually intimidatory and sexually abusive, particularly towards girls"". ""These are horrific situations that young people are getting themselves into."" Simon Dukes, chief executive of the fraud prevention organisation Cifas, said some were being persuaded to hand over access to their bank accounts to criminals for money laundering purposes. He said criminals lure children in with apparent money-making opportunities on social media, and pass money through their accounts to disguise the sources of illicit funds. ""Criminals, of course, prey on the most vulnerable and they're preying on younger people because of their lack of knowledge, in particular, about what is effectively money laundering."" Ms Longfield said other young people were being used to transport drugs. ""Anecdotally, I'm told that middle-class children are often being targeted as well because they are less likely to be stopped. ""Children who are easier to intimidate, vulnerable in some way and often being bullied, those that are easier to control, are being picked on."" Earlier this year, the government announced that PSHE would be made compulsory in all state schools. The government is currently consulting on what to include in the permanent curriculum, but as yet, there is no timetable for its introduction. Ms Longfield said the ""life skills lessons"" should include information on the risks of becoming involved in gangs, an understanding of how gangs target children and help in building resilience to resist them. Parents may not be aware of who their children are talking to via social media, so young people themselves need to be able to understand the difference between ""genuine opportunities"" and exploitative situations, she added. ""For younger children it will often be the draw of fast money - sometimes protection for themselves if they're fearful about their own wellbeing - but certainly also a sense of belonging, fast money, sometimes glamour... ""Life skills is something that the government has committed itself to do. ""Most schools at the moment do provide life skill lessons but they're often inconsistent and often they don't tackle some of these issues that are much harder to tackle."" The commissioner also called for police forces to work together to produce better data on the number of children targeted by gangs. The PSHE Association, a national body working to improve PSHE education, said it supported the call for compulsory lessons to help young people understand ""the specific risks of gang membership for individuals, families and communities"". A spokesman said a broad PSHE education ""gives pupils the knowledge and skills to better understand peer influence, and helps them recognise and avoid exploitative relationships, online and offline"".","Pupils should be taught in school how to avoid being sucked into gangs or @placeholder by older criminals , the children 's commissioner has said .",compromised,murdered,overseen,exploited,chased

+"They say it could cut the likelihood of fireballs erupting when aircraft and other vehicles crash, or are attacked. It contains very long polymer molecules which stop the fuel forming tiny, explosive droplets, but break when it flows through pipes - and then rejoin. It is described in the journal Science. ""Initial engine tests showed no adverse effect on performance and our hope is that these polymers will save lives in fatal crashes in aviation and ground transportation,"" said lead author Julia Kornfield, of the California Institute of Technology. Efforts to produce explosion-prevention additives, including a major initiative following a deadly runway collision in Tenerife in 1977, have been hampered by twin problems relating to the chemistry of hydrocarbon fuels. The obvious choice for such an additive is a long, chain-like molecule, which causes the liquid to hang together in bigger, less flammable droplets. But a fuel also has to be pumped and filtered and these forces readily tear up those long molecules into smaller, ineffective fragments - and, crucially, if the polymer remains intact and resists those forces, then it will probably hamper fuel handling or engine performance. Prof Kornfield and her colleagues have solved this dilemma by designing very long ""megasupramolecules"" that break up when the fuel flows through pipelines, but then reassemble. This rebuilding occurs thanks to ""sticky ends"" which the team designed in a theoretical model, before manufacturing and testing the additive. This design was no easy task, because the snapped ends must join back together to make long, straight chains, without forming circular molecules. Once they had a polymer that looked promising, the team added it to both diesel and jet fuel and tested how well it prevented explosions - both before and after putting it through a fuel pump 50 times. The results were promising. ""We shot a projectile at 140mph (225km/h) at a small fuel tank and observed the resulting mist using high-speed imaging,"" said Prof Kornfield, who worked with collaborators at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena to develop the tests. ""We had three continuously burning propane torches deliberately in the path of the mist to make sure that it would ignite."" In fuel treated with a small quantity of megasupramolecules, the droplets in the mist were bigger and any tiny ignitions quickly extinguished themselves - whereas the untreated fuel, predictably, turned almost instantly into a fireball. Tests in generator motors and a diesel engine showed that the fuel was just as efficient with the additive and even produced less soot than untreated diesel. The team is still investigating how the molecules might affect regular petrol - which, because of its very low flashpoint, is particularly explosive. But Prof Kornfield said they were ""cautiously optimistic"". If future development goes well, she added, the additive could be available for commercial use in two years, for diesel fuel, and five to seven years for aviation fuel. Andrew Cooper, a chemistry professor at the University of Liverpool, said that engineering a new additive based on the principles of polymer chemistry was ""an interesting take"" on the problem - and that carrying the concept from design through to testing was impressive. ""It's a nice example of basic polymer physics and polymer chemistry translating into something that is, in principle, very useful,"" he told the BBC.

+"But are politicians using these platforms effectively to get their message across? And does their social media effort actually translate into votes? During the final two weeks of the general election campaign, eight young voters from the BBC's Generation 2015 panel closely monitored Scotland's political parties and most prominent figures. They told the BBC Scotland news website who they thought got it right in the battle for Scotland's young voters. The entire panel agreed that a major benefit of social media as a campaigning tool was in making politicians seem more ""accessible"" than ever before. Young voter Rebecca Plenderleith, who has spent most of the campaign as an undecided voter, said social media brought a ""humanity"" to politics, while Conservative voter Struan Mackie said it enabled voters to see ""past the party"" and learn more about the personality of the candidates. But others questioned how much this perception of politicians as ""accessible"" actually translated into reality. Several of our panellists, while impressed with the high volume of politicians using social media, were disappointed that many of them would not interact with voters who weren't already clear supporters. Similarly, several felt that much of the content posted on social media seemed to be intended to rally the party faithful rather than to attract new potential voters. Lib Dem voter James Munro said: ""Posts that are just full of rhetoric don't really add anything to the debate. Slogans like 'Only the SNP can make Scotland's voice heard' or 'Only UKIP can stand up to Westminster' have no effect on me."" Despite being a Green party member, Zoe Mcintyre has been trying to choose another party to vote for, as there is no Green candidate in her constituency. One major criticism she had was that many of the official party accounts simply reposted statements they perceived as favourable to them, without attempting to explain to voters why their policy objectives would be of benefit. The panel noted that high profile party figures appeared to be much better than less well versed candidates at showing their personality in what they posted. Several of the panel singled out Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson as ""winning at Twitter"" for her down-to-earth approach to social media. After Ms Davidson's ""You ok, hun?"" Twitter comment [on David Cameron's Twitter feed after he was accused of ""demeaning the Office of Prime Minister"" by Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy], SNP voter Craig Maclean said: ""That had me in stitches. I wouldn't vote for her party just now, but little things like that show a human nature and did warm me towards Ruth Davidson"". Labour voter Eva Murray said she thought Kezia Dugdale and Margaret Curran's ""sassy"" replies in response to personal abuse on Twitter had helped get away from the ""people in suits"" image people have of politicians, while Nicola Sturgeon was described as ""rarely, if ever, slipping up"". By contrast, our panel said many other MPs lacked the personal touch, using their Twitter feeds as ""a dump for links to manifesto points"" or simply to plug press releases. Voter Zoe Mcintyre was also critical of the length of David Cameron's personal Facebook posts, saying ""not many people have time or care enough"" to read three paragraphs of solid text. Our panel's advice to politicians on how to appeal to young voters on social media 1. Don't run a negative campaign. Focus on your message rather than making ""cheap shots"" at your opponents. 2. Show personality in what you share, don't just post generic messages. 3. Similarly, don't just post endless pictures of you on the campaign trail - particularly when the photo op seems irrelevant to the election. 4. Using hashtags can be a good idea, but anticipate ones which may get hijacked by others to make jokes at the party's expense. 5.  Adapt your posts to fit the social media platform you're on, e.g. creating easily shareable content or maybe even using emojis. But don't overdo, as it might make some young voters think you're trying too hard. James Munro was frustrated that most politicians weren't taking advantage of opportunities provided by social media to speak directly to their constituents. He said: ""Coming from up north and with most of my family in the Highlands or islands, they are very concerned about an MP who stands up for local issues rather than what's on a national scale necessarily. That's one thing I've barely seen on social media."" While some voters liked the Conservative party's Your Manifesto tool - which extracts information from the user's Facebook profile to compile a set of policies relevant to their area - one major criticism was that while the application identified their area as Scotland, it failed to break down further into Scottish regions. Our panel repeatedly mentioned ""negative campaign messages"" - that focus on criticising other parties - as a big turn-off, while photo-shopped images making jibes at other parties were described as ""infuriatingly childish"". James Munro said: ""This election has been far too much about inter-party squabbling. I couldn't tell you a single actual policy for quite a few of the parties because it's just not on their social media at all."" Meanwhile, Zoe Mcintyre said she was concerned that first-time voters seeing this kind of campaigning might be put off voting at all. Undecided voter Laura Fell said that more creative hashtags might have attracted voters, with most parties opting for self-evident but uninspired choices, namely #voteLabour, #VoteConservative, #voteSNP, #libdems, #votegreen2015. But undecided voter Noah Brown was also critical of more inventive hashtags such as ""I'm #SNPbecause"" and ""#WhyImVotingUKIP"", saying ""you end up with a list of other people's perceptions, rather than manifesto based realities"". James Munro also warned of hashtags like these being hijacked by those seeking to make jokes at the parties' expense. Another thing that left our panel less than impressed was politicians sharing their endless photo opportunities, particularly when they seemed to have little relevance to the election. Commenting on an image shared by the Scottish Conservatives, Zoe said: ""How is a picture of Ruth Davidson with a hawk on her arm going to convince people to vote Conservative? Surely she should be having more photos taken with the electorate!"" Noah Brown: ""In some respects I think social media brought out the worst in people, but I don't think it made a difference to how I voted. I voted Scottish Greens in the end and it was doing research on my local candidates that swung it for me."" Struan Mackie: ""I'm still voting for the Scottish Conservatives. But references to the referendum or independence have put me off several SNP candidates, Mhari Black for example. This is a general election and rearing the independence question again isn't appropriate."" Eva Murray: ""I think social media has a huge influence in getting people involved in politics and getting ideas out there, but I don't think it would have the power to persuade me to vote for a party other than Labour."" Craig Maclean: ""I'm still voting SNP. My impression of the Conservative party in Scotland has become less negative due to Ruth Davidson, but I still wouldn't vote for them. My impression of Labour in Scotland has gone down, mostly because of Jim Murphy, but I do like what some of their figures in England - Andy Burnham and Diane Abbot - are saying on Twitter."" James Munro: ""I'd definitely say Ruth Davidson has gone a long way to improving the Scottish Conservatives in my mind. I still probably would never vote for them but she seemed like the only politician on social media who was a human being and actually ran her own media."" Rebecca Plenderleith: ""Social media has ensured that I definitely won't be voting for either the Tories or Labour. What they don't realise is that by insulting other parties on social media they come across as if they are scared that their policies alone will not be enough to win them seats. I was an undecided voter. I'll now definitely be voting Liberal Democrat."" Laura Fell: ""Nothing in particular has persuaded my vote. I am stuck between the choice of two parties, Labour and SNP, but I hate it when parties slag each other off and start scaremongering."" Zoe Mcintyre: ""Social media hasn't persuaded me to vote a certain way. I'm voting Labour, even though I think the majority of their posts have been pretty negative.

+"The visitors scored 595 in the first innings but were bowled out cheaply in the second before New Zealand chased down a 217-run target to win. It meant Bangladesh broke a 123-year record for the highest total made by a losing side in a Test. An unbeaten century from captain Kane Williamson and 60 from Ross Taylor led New Zealand to a seven-wicket victory. Bangladesh had earlier been bowled out for 160-9 - captain Mushfiqur Rahim was taken to hospital for checks after being struck on the head by a bouncer and retired hurt. Mushfiqur, who hit 159 in the first innings, had scored 13 in the second innings when he was hit on the helmet by a Tim Southee delivery. New Zealand lost both openers before Williamson and Taylor's third-wicket stand of 163 secured victory. ""To bounce back and achieve that was brilliant,"" Williamson said. Mushfiqur, who confirmed  he was fine after being struck on the helmet, added: ""Probably we let ourselves down in the bowling department.""

+"Aubrey and the Terrible Yoot by Welsh writer Horatio Clare was announced as the winner of the 2016 Branford Boase Award on Thursday evening. Clare and his editor, Penny Thomas, will each receive a ?¡ê1,000 prize. The author said winning the award, which is given annually to a debut novel, ""means the world to me"". ""This is the book I am most proud of. It was written with heart and soul about something painful and important, but meant to read as a joy and an adventure,"" he added. Clare said the book was initially turned down by many publishers, who felt the subject matter did not have commercial appeal, before it was published by Firefly Press - the company run by Thomas. Chair of the judges, Julia Eccleshare, said the novel was ""beautifully written and highly original, proof indeed that children's books is a very exciting place in which to write"". Previous winners of the prize, which was founded in 2000, include Frances Hardinge, Meg Rosoff and Marcus Sedgewick. Clare, a lecturer at Liverpool's John Moores University, said he felt writing for children had given him a freedom not afforded to other genres. ""There are no limits, children's imaginations are so powerful, and I love being in dialogue with an imagined child reader,"" he said. Aubrey and the Terrible Yoot was funded by the Welsh Books Council. ""State support for writers in Wales is exemplary. I and many other Welsh writers are working to repay the support and faith placed in us by the executive and the people of Wales, with books which will travel and last,"" Clare said.

+"Just as the new supercouncils prepare to take over, Belfast city council is fighting a legal battle. The Robinson Centre which is closed because of the discovery of asbestos, will be transferred from Castlereagh to Belfast at midnight. But Belfast council has won leave for a judicial review of that transfer. On Tuesday evening, a judge granted the review and also ruled that Belfast would not be liable for any claims prior to 1 April 2015. Ahead of the hearing, the Robinson Centre and 38 staff will transfer to Belfast as of midnight on Tuesday. Belfast council believes its ratepayers should not take on the running of a centre which, it claims, is not fit for purpose. In February, a survey carried out at the Robinson centre found that there was asbestos. It is that discovery that has led to the wrangle over who should be responsible. On Tuesday, the environment minister ruled that the Robinson centre and its liabilities should transfer to Belfast council. But the council want that decision overturned. Last week Castlereagh council said in a statement that the asbestos was stable and remained undisturbed. It said air samples showed no members of staff or the public have been or are at risk. Just over two weeks ago part of the centre was re-opened after they were certified fit for occupation. The council has been advised that further surveys are not deemed necessary at this stage. Belfast City Council had asked for a further survey of the building to be carried out but that has been denied. In a statement on Tuesday evening, the council said: ""The Robinson Centre will not open tomorrow [Wednesday] and will be closed indefinitely as Belfast City Council will be carrying out a more detailed survey [as recommended by the initial survey work] as soon as possible so that it could take an informed decision about the future of the centre. ""All staff previously employed by Castlereagh Borough Council are protected by TUPE [transfer of undertakings Protection of employment] and Belfast City Council management and  trade unions will take all steps to seek to ensure they suffer no detriment. ""However as there is no operational centre we are not able to place all of them immediately. ""We then will be meeting with all of them individually to discuss work deployments.

Instead it shows the American Airlines site's ""Review and Pay"" page, which is shown to customers one step before a ticket is booked. Mr Valizadeh did not respond when asked on Twitter to provide further evidence of his proposed Australian trip.

Mr Valizadeh wrote a widely criticised article last year calling for the legalisation of rape on public property as a way to ""defeat rape culture"". He has since said the post was satirical. His group is planning to hold meetings in 43 countries, but generated a particularly strong reaction in Australia after a university student started an online petition denouncing the group. Mr Valizadeh's proposed trip to Australia sparked widespread outrage, including demands that he be prevented from entering the country.

+"They were discovered by studying more than 200,000 images from camera traps. Scottish Wildcat Action set up 347 of the cameras in five areas in the Highlands, Aberdeenshire, Moray and the Angus Glens, to record data over a 60-day period. More than a third of the cameras captured images of cats, most of which turned out to be feral cats or hybrids. The SWA set up cameras in wildcat priority areas and surveyed 620 square miles in Angus Glens, Strathbogie in Aberdeenshire, Strathpeffer Easter Ross, Strathavon Moray and northern Strathspey. In the coming weeks, the group said they would begin a new phase of the project to trap, neuter and vaccinate feral cats, which they said posed a threat to wildcats through hybridisation and disease. Roo Campbell, SWA project manager, said: ""We are delighted with the results. Though they are preliminary, and further investigation is needed to establish the true numbers present in each of our five priority areas, SWA has established that there are Scottish wildcats out there. ""We have detected at least 19 so far but there are bound to be more as we are still investigating the data from the camera traps. That is surely good news."" The survey also detected more than 20 other species, including a raccoon which is not native to Scotland.

Outpatients and diagnostic imaging were also rated as inadequate, with medical care, surgery, maternity and gynaecology requiring improvement. CQC inspectors identified concerns across a number of services.

He said: ""My team found that the majority of staff were hard working, passionate and caring but had to struggle against the pressures they faced.

+"Counter-terrorism units entered the south-western Kifah district on Tuesday, the military said. IS militants responded by firing rockets and deploying suicide car bombs, according to one commander. Iraq's prime minister launched the assault on Tal Afar on Sunday, a month after declaring victory in Mosul. Haider al-Abadi told the estimated 2,000 jihadists holed up inside the city, along with between 10,000 and 40,000 civilians, that they should ""surrender or die"". Tal Afar, which had a predominantly ethnic Turkmen population of 200,000 before it fell to IS in June 2014, sits on a major supply route between Mosul, about 55km (35 miles) to the east, and the Syrian border, 150km (90 miles) to the west. The city was cut off from both during the nine-month Mosul offensive by troops and allied militiamen from the Shia-dominated paramilitary Popular Mobilisation (Hashd al-Shaabi) force. But they did not attempt to retake it until this week. In the first 24 hours of the operation, pro-government forces captured 235 sq km (90 sq miles) of territory from IS, according to the US special envoy to the multinational coalition against IS that is providing air and ground support. By the second day, the troops and militiamen had reached the edge of the city. On Wednesday, they shelled IS defensive lines along the edges of the Kifah area before storming it from the south and east, commanders said. Later, the Popular Mobilisation announced on its website that units from its 11th Brigade, the Federal Police's Rapid Response Force and the Iraqi Army had taken ""full control"" of the Kifah and Nour districts. However, there was no immediate confirmation from the military. Special forces commander Brig Gen Haider Fadhil told the Associated Press that his forces had not faced tough resistance, but that he expected the fighting to be fiercer as they pushed towards the city centre. The general said civilians had not been seen fleeing the area, but the United Nations has warned that it is preparing for thousands to attempt to escape in the coming days and weeks.

+"He appeared at a district court on Friday morning amid heavy security. He was initially placed under house arrest at his home in Islamabad but later transferred to the police headquarters in the city. Mr Musharraf has described the cases against him as politically motivated. Thursday's order to arrest him was an unprecedented move against a former army chief who ruled the country for almost a decade, the BBC's Orla Guerin in Islamabad says. Although he was present at court  when the warrant was issued, police made no attempt to arrest him and he rapidly returned to his home on the outskirts of the city. He was finally arrested on Friday morning and appeared at court, where a judge ruled that he should be held in custody for two days. The decision to move him from his home to police headquarters appears to be largely procedural. He is expected to appear before an anti-terrorism court in the next 48 hours. His legal team have said they will challenge the order in Pakistan's Supreme Court. Meanwhile,  members of Pakistan's Senate passed a resolution that the former president should be tried on charges of high treason relating to his declaration of a state of emergency in 2007.

Earlier this week his candidacy was rejected in Chitral, one of four seats he had applied to contest. Mr Musharraf had already failed in an attempt to stand in three other seats. The case for which he has been arrested relates to his controversial decision to dismiss judges - including Chief Justice Mohammad Iftikhar Chaudhry - when he imposed emergency rule in 2007.

+"Geraldine Pilgrim's Flight sets the lives of those men in the context of aviation history, using as a backdrop, the rich heritage of the area where it is being staged. Cumbria's links to aviation are strong - it was the birthplace of Britain's first seaplane, Waterbird, and one of the first British military airships, and its involvement with both made it a hotbed for would-be pilots in the pre-war years. Pilgrim says she found their stories and the way their simple desire to fly led to their involvement in the war ""completely extraordinary and tragic"". The men were based at Hill of Oaks on the banks of Windermere, from where Waterbird took its first flight in 1911 and which became a Royal Naval Air Service base during the war. ""Not many people know about its importance,"" says Pilgrim. ""The Hill of Oaks became a pilot training school and these young men that just wanted to fly actually got caught up in World War One. ""They became known as the 'Suicide Club' because they were only in the air for a maximum of 11 days before they were shot down."" She says what that name made her realise was ""the enormity of the loss to the people that were left behind"", a feeling which she hopes to convey in her ""site-specific performance journey"". ""One of the images I'm thinking of is the women waiting for their boys - whether they were sons, fathers, brothers, husbands, boyfriends - to come home. ""I imagined the women looking up at the sky over the Lake District, waiting for them to come back, a bit like migrating birds coming home. ""The poignancy is that so many of them waited and waited but their boys never came back."" She says, that while that is undoubtedly a sad image, ""I want people to be moved but I don't want them to feel unhappy"". ""It's not melancholy - we live in troubled enough times at the moment. I want it to be poignant,"" she says. Source: BBC iWonder The show is being put on at Brockhole, a ""wonderful arts and craft designed building"" beside Windermere which Pilgrim says lost many of its period features after being sold to Liverpool Health Authority in 1945. ""It was neutralised and made into one of those bland office spaces. It broke my heart when I saw it. ""Part of what we're doing is transforming the top floor and repapering the hallway with period wallpaper. ""We're giving back Brockhole some of the care and attention that it deserves."" She says it is an important part of the process that is driving the performance - that the project ""is for and about Cumbria"". ""This was once a much loved family home and we want to make sure it still feels like it's loved and cared for. ""It is [loved] by many people in the area and they felt like it needed a bit of tender care."" Those people are also involved in the piece, as volunteers from Westmoreland Croquet Club, Burneside Brass Band, Ashton Family Theatre, Ambleside Theatre, the University of Cumbria and Kendal College are taking roles, along with several local families. Sue Larkin got involved after her daughter encouraged her to go to a meeting with the artist about the project. She says being made ""to stop and consider the reality for the people portrayed is very sobering"". ""I think that we can all appreciate how people's feelings about the war changed. ""Everyone was so proud and excited at the start but the reality, for so many, was devastating. ""I had never appreciated how many women never married because so many young men went to war and never come home. ""And as I watch the teenagers I am acting with in my scene, keeping in constant touch with their mates via social media throughout the evening, it is also hard to imagine what it was really like to have to wait so long for any news of your loved ones. ""It must have been almost unbearable."" Larkin says that even though she has lived in the area for 20 years, she was ""not aware of any of the stories about the families or the airmen and women"" before being told about them by Pilgrim. The artist says she is not alone in that as, for many volunteers, it is all ""genuinely new"" - and for herself, raising awareness was one of the main aims of her project. ""What I want to do is help people learn more about their own history. ""Not in a patronising way, because I'm not from here, but I've had a chance to particularly research the area. ""I'm hoping that this will make people inspired to find out more."" Larkin says she has certainly found the project educational as being involved has seen both her daughters ""ask some really interesting questions"".

For a start, KP has not faced a red ball in 18 months and there are a lot of things that still need to happen - not least Pietersen scoring some runs in the domestic game having rejoined Surrey - before we see him striding out to the middle in an England shirt again. The ECB have created a new director of England cricket following Downton's departure and I see my Test Match Special colleague, and ex-England captain, Michael Vaughan has been touted as a possible man for the job. I will be interested to see if Vaughan can commit himself completely to this job because he would have to give up a lot of other things. Vaughan would be a great candidate but he loves his media work and he has a lot of other interests that take up his time. There is no way you could have an England director of cricket doing anything else but focusing on this role 100%. It has got to be someone who is really in touch with the modern game and the direction cricket is going. Whoever is appointed needs to have retained an involvement with cricket, and someone who comes into the job with fresh ideas and with a resolve to make specific improvements. Media playback is not supported on this device Two of the names mentioned for the England director role - Alec Stewart and Andrew Strauss -  could have a major say in the next instalment of what happens with Pietersen of course. Strauss, given his history with KP, will probably take a lot of convincing that he should return to the fold. With Stewart, his coach at Surrey, it might be a bit more straightforward. We have not seen the job description for the position, but you can imagine it needs someone who is in touch with the game. It needs to be someone who has been out of it just long enough to avoid being too personally involved with the current players. Downton, who took over from Hugh Morris, was not in a position as MD in which he was solely dealing with the England team; there was much to the role. Downton had a difficult time of it. He was briefed that his first job must be to get rid of Pietersen. He took responsibility for that, but it was not 100% his call - it was a broader decision. So perhaps he was an easy person to target with regards to KP. He has taken a lot of flak for that. And likewise he was not directly hands-on with the England team. You have to question how much responsibility he actually had on England team matters. The new job, however, is going to be more targeted to the England team. It must be. The new role is probably going to be much more focused on that. The change to key elements of the administration - the chairman and the chief executive - made it likely that something had to change after England's dismal World Cup campaign and someone be shown the door. It could have been the coach Peter Moores, it could have the man responsible for selection of the team in James Whitaker. But instead what they have decided to do is reassess the role Downton has occupied which encompasses many different aspects of English cricket; from everything that is done at Loughborough all the way up to the top of the game and the England team. However, he was only marginally responsible for the England team itself. This new director of England role. Will he be a selector? Might he be a cricket supremo and we go back to the days of Raymond Illingworth with a selection committee of captain, coach and the director - for me that looks favourite at the moment. But if that is the case, James Whitaker would not have a job in the near future either. From the way that it sounds that is where they are going. It all depends on how hands-on this new director of England cricket will be.

The 71-year-old is expected home in Ireland on Thursday after being released on bail on medical grounds. Dublin man Hickey has consistently denied any wrongdoing. A statement from the OCI said that Hickey would not be a candidate for the president's post, which he has held since 1988. ""For clarity, as Pat Hickey has repeatedly advised in the past year prior to the Rio Games 2016, he would be finishing his term of office after the Games, therefore please note he will not be a candidate for President at the forthcoming elections,"" said the OCI.

Earlier this week after four months of detention, which included a brief prison stay, a court ruled Hickey's passport could be returned on medical grounds after his lawyers lodged a bond of just over ¡ê340,000. Judge Juliana Leal de Melo from Brazil's Special Court for Supporters and Large Events warned his bail would be forfeited if he did not return for future legal proceedings.

+"The Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPeg) committee has called for controls over how image data in .jpg files is accessed. It is thought this would protect copyright and safeguard the privacy of people in images. However, rights groups have said the features might harm creativity. In an online summary of the proposals, the JPeg committee said photographs were often redistributed without relevant rights information attached, so they could easily be copied or published again without permission. And in some cases, the privacy of the photographer could be compromised if metadata embedded in the images, which could include the geo-location of wherever the photo was taken, was accessible. ""Currently, these concerns are not well addressed and [are] an inhibiting factor in the further proliferation of digital content distribution,"" the JPeg committee briefing said. The JPeg committee has no concrete plans to change the JPeg format yet, but hopes to seek technological solutions once the specifics of the new proposals have been decided, according to convener of the committee Touradj Ebrahimi. Speaking to the BBC, Dr Ebrahimi said whatever changes might be made, JPeg files would still be freely shareable if their authors wanted them to be. ""One thing that's important to note is that this is not something we're imposing,"" he said. ""We are just saying, 'Let people have a choice.' Those who are perfectly happy with today's situation and want to have security-free image sharing [will still be able to]."" Currently, when someone wants to protect an image from being viewed by certain people, it is possible to publish it on websites with their own privacy protecting software, such as Facebook. However, if the photograph is taken from that site by someone who has access to it and sent elsewhere, it could then be distributed to anyone. Dr Ebrahimi suggested that it might be better to have access controls actually built in to the file. ""It would be best if you have one image that is protected in such a way that if you have the rights, you see it clear; if you don't have the rights, you don't see it,"" he said. The idea has caused some concern among rights groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). In a blog, the EFF warned against putting tight restrictions on JPeg files and suggested the move could stifle creativity - hampering an artist from using a photograph in a new work, for example. It might also be difficult to secure the restrictions from those who wanted to crack them, said Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group. He compared the situation to digital rights management (DRM) software, which is found on products such as DVDs and prevents copying of the content. ""DRM tends to be easily broken,"" he told the BBC. ""People who want to break the rules would still do that."" Mr Killock also expressed concerns that companies might charge steep fees for allowing certain levels of access to restricted images. ""You're going to want to edit pictures, crop them, alter them, all of these sorts of things that DRM potentially restricts, so I guess the other major beneficiary would end up being software publishers,"" he said.

+"While promising a fierce fight to the end, IS prepared the way in its propaganda for its military defeat in the city. The group began to shift its messaging in May 2016 amid losses in its Iraqi and Syrian heartland, saying that victory was not determined by territorial hold but persistence in faith. It emphasised its enduring ideological reach, insisting that the group was invincible even if it faced what it portrayed as temporary setbacks on the ground. IS cited a military official as saying the group had begun readying for its battle to defend Mosul from the first day it captured the city, suggesting the group knew its hold on the city could never last. Following the launch by Iraqi forces of the operation to recapture Mosul in October 2016, IS has played up the strength of its affiliates in other countries. It recently suggested that the capture of parts of the city of Marawi in the Philippines by pro-IS militants in May was reminiscent of its capture of Mosul, indicating that the symbolic centre of its so-called ""caliphate"" could be revised. The group noted that a precursor had lost control of areas of Iraq in 2007 but resurfaced much stronger. IS has demonstrated its ability to carry out attacks in various parts of Iraq outside Mosul, with a current offensive near Qayyara to the south of the city diverting attention from its crumbling ""caliphate"". It has issued multiple calls for attacks worldwide, and in June claimed a third attack in the UK and its first attacks in Iran and Israel. In the course of the battle for Mosul, IS has often said the city would prove to be a graveyard for its enemies. But on 7 July it described Mosul's Old City as a graveyard for thousands of civilians, blaming their suffering on US-led coalition bombardment. This served its narrative depicting an alleged global war against Sunni Islam. IS used the destruction in Mosul - including the landmark Great Mosque al-Nuri and Hadba minaret, reportedly orchestrated by the group itself - to serve its own ends. It boasted about the fierce resistance its members had put up in the city over almost nine months, against an array of powerful enemies. It also gloated about the material and human cost visited upon its foes. In a recent recognition of its demise in Mosul, the group said it planned to apply lessons derived from the protracted battle to future fronts in its unending war.

+"Prince Turki al-Faisal told the BBC that Saudi Arabia would then seek the same right, as would other nations. Six world powers are negotiating an agreement aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear activity but not ending it. Critics have argued this would trigger a nuclear arms race in the region spurred on by Saudi-Iran rivalry. ""I've always said whatever comes out of these talks, we will want the same,"" said the prince, Saudi Arabia's former intelligence chief. ""So if Iran has the ability to enrich uranium to whatever level, it's not just Saudi Arabia that's going to ask for that. ""The whole world will be an open door to go that route without any inhibition, and that's my main objection to this P5+1 [the six world powers] process."" With a late March deadline for an Iran deal approaching, Saudi Arabia last week signed a nuclear co-operation agreement with South Korea that included a plan to study the feasibility of building two nuclear reactors in the kingdom. Riyadh has also signed nuclear co-operation agreements with China, France and Argentina, and intends to construct 16 nuclear power reactors over the next 20 years. The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, flew to Riyadh earlier this month to reassure Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab allies that America would not accept any deal unless it prevented Iran from building a nuclear weapon. He was told that they found Iran's support for armed Shia Muslim groups in regional conflicts as troubling as the prospect of an atomic bomb. ""Iran is already a disruptive player in various scenes in the Arab world, whether it's Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, or Bahrain,"" said Prince Turki. ""So ending fear of developing weapons of mass destruction is not going to be the end of the troubles we're having with Iran."" Of most concern to Saudi Arabia is Iran's backing of Iraqi Shia militias in the fight against Islamic State (IS) militants. That role has become more public during the battle over the Iraqi city of Tikrit, with General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, stepping out of the shadows to openly guide Shia forces. ""Now it seems that Iran is expanding its occupation of Iraq and that is unacceptable,"" said Prince Turki. The Americans are trying to keep a delicate balance, recognising that the US and Iran share common cause, if not co-ordinated action, against IS. The US military's top officer, Gen Martin Dempsey, has said that Iran's help in the Tikrit offensive could be ""a positive thing"" providing it does not fuel sectarianism. But on a recent visit to Baghdad he expressed concern that Iraq's Shia political leaders were not taking promised action to bridge the sectarian divide with Sunni Muslim Arab tribes, and warned this could strain the anti-IS coalition of which Saudi Arabia is a member. Riyadh has also long been frustrated with America's refusal to arm the Syrians against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, Iran's closest Arab ally. So it has agreed to participate in a US-led programme to train and arm Syrian rebels even though the focus would be fighting IS, not Mr Assad. ""Inevitably I believe fighting [IS], or Fahesh as I prefer to call it, is fighting Assad,"" Prince Turki declared, using an Arabic word for obscene that rhymes with ""Daesh"", the Arabic acronym of the group's previous name Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

+"The classes will start at 30 military facilities, running from 19 November until 3 June. Polish army instructors will provide the training. The techniques will include defensive postures, how to break holds, and guards against kicks, strangulation and assaults with a weapon. Some Poles see the initiative more as a way for the army to promote its image. The ministry says it is the first time the military has offered such a nationwide programme. It is open to all Polish women aged 18 or above who are in good health. A former special forces commander, Roman Polko, told the Dziennik Polski news website that it was not the army's job to teach citizens unarmed combat. He said it could be a way to spot potential recruits for the armed forces. But learning aikido or jujitsu moves ""won't win a war,"" he said. Another critic, Krakow journalist Marcin Ogdowski, said the lessons ""have a propaganda dimension"". He said women's self-defence classes should be run by the police, rather than the military. Launching the programme, Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz said the aim was to teach women ""basic fighting techniques and, above all, improve overall physical fitness"". ""We invite the ladies, there are still places - there are no age limits,"" he said. Participants must have their own medical insurance and a letter freeing the defence ministry from any injury claims. Mr Macierewicz is also setting up a 35,000-strong paramilitary Territorial Defence Force. He described it as a defence against Russian aggression and a way to promote patriotism.

+"The ¡ê28m regeneration will centre on the eastern end of the building, bringing its theatre and a former TV studio space back into use. Haringey Council approved the proposals on Monday saying they would ""preserve this landmark for generations to come"". However, critics have said the plans would destroy the essence of the Muswell Hill landmark. About ¡ê16m has been provisionally secured from Heritage Lottery Funding for the restoration, the council said. Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober said: ""Alexandra Palace has become a hugely successful venue, but with parts of the building in a state of serious decay, we have to act now to restore and preserve this landmark for generations to come. ""Opening up the spectacular Victorian theatre and transforming the derelict BBC studios will mean more people can enjoy Alexandra Palace and learn about its rich heritage, while we can be confident of a sustainable future for Haringey's most iconic building."" The plans will also see the bricked-up colonnades along the palace's south terrace opened up to restore them to original designs and improve links to Alexandra Park. Alexandra Palace, or Ally Pally as it is often known, first opened in 1873 and in 1936 the BBC launched the world's first regular television service from the site. The new plans will see the Victorian theatre become a performance space and the venue's old BBC studio wing turned into an interactive exhibit detailing its broadcasting history. A proposed gallery space will also showcase a range of broadcast objects. Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Alexandra Palace, said: ""We are delighted with the planning committee's decision, which allows us to move forward with the project and is a major step in the transformation of Alexandra Palace to realise its full potential as the ""People's Palace"" once again."" But local resident and architect Stephen Games had raised concerns about the plans. ""A lot of people from around the world are going to want to see it, and what they'll want to see are the studios themselves,"" he said.

+"Thought to be one of only four living Yangtze giant softshell turtles, it was found floating in the Hanoi lake where it lived. Cause of death is unclear. Some see the death as a bad omen for the ruling Communist Party. Its annual congress begins on Thursday and a change of leadership is expected. Cu Rua, meaning great-grandfather though it was female, will be embalmed. ""Cu"" is the Vietnamese word used to refer to old and revered people, giving some indication of the special place she occupied in the hearts of Hanoi's inhabitants. And not only Hanoians - people from all over the country also used to come to Hoan Kiem lake in Vietnam's capital to try to catch a glimpse of her. Some even waited for days. Social media in Vietnam has been flooded with posts lamenting her death, which came on a gloomy windy and wintry Tuesday afternoon. Facebook user Nguyen Viet Nam said: ""The turtle was a sacred animal for us Hanoians. Such sadness, such regret."" Some wondered whether the timing of the death was significant. Nguyen Thanh Ha: ""Cu Rua has died! Is this a sign? Just when the Congress meets?"" Another Facebook user Dao Trung Thanh said: ""So the Hoan Kiem Lake turtle has died. Maybe it is not a sign of bad luck. Maybe it is a sign of renewal and end of slow backwardness."" Douglas Hendrie, a Hanoi-based wildlife expert, says Cu Rua was one of only four known living specimens her kind in the world. ""But more than that, the turtle also had a significant historical, cultural and spiritual value for the Vietnamese,"" he adds. Legend has it that the turtle - believed to be more than 100 and the oldest in Vietnam - was the incarnation of a mythical creature living in the lake in the 15th Century. Local legend has it that Le Loi, a real figure from Vietnamese history who would become emperor of Vietnam, borrowed a magical sword from the Dragon King to fight against Vietnam's then Chinese oppressors. After claiming independence for the Viets, he came to the lake and returned the sword to its divine owner via its disciple - a giant turtle which surfaced to take it from his hands before disappearing beneath the jade waters. The lake duly became known as Hoan Kiem, or the Lake of the Returned Sword. Scientists are not yet sure what killed Cu Rua - pollution, climate change or simple old age - but his body is being examined by experts. The authorities have already announced she will be preserved. To many of Hanoi's residents, Cu Rua was more than a charming local character - her appearances at the same time as some of the country's biggest events, such as Hanoi's 1,000-year anniversary, were seen as auspicious - while her ailments were seen as ominous signs. So her sudden death is certainly ""viewed as a big concern"", says Mr Hendrie who has worked in Vietnam for two decades. The newly appointed mayor of Hanoi, police general Nguyen Duc Chung, is said to have promptly visited the site which was quickly cordoned off. The issue was so delicate that state censors briefly tried to prevent the news from being reported. ""To cheerfully welcome the party congress, newspapers and media please do not report on the turtle's death for now,"" the party's propaganda department instructed. But a few hours later domestic newspapers were told they could report the death - as scientifically and objectively as possible, without speculation and using ""sensitive photos"". The all-important congress of the Vietnamese Communist Party, which takes place every five years, opens on Thursday in Hanoi and the authorities are careful not to fuel any unfounded rumours around it. ""Is it a sign? I don't know,"" says Nguyen Duc Hung, a 27-year-old man from Thanh Hoa province. Speaking on the phone from the paved bank of Hoan Kiem lake, Mr Hung said his only regret was that he would not be able to see Cu Rua ever again.","Vietnam is @placeholder an ancient turtle revered as a symbol of auspiciousness , whose death has shocked the country .",keeping,feeling,preparing,dominating,mourning
+"Each year people turn out to watch thrill-seekers hurl themselves 200 yards down the 1:2 gradient, chasing wheels of double Gloucester cheese. This year's race saw a champion cheese-roller from Brockworth equal the all-time record for the most cheeses won. Chris Anderson won all three men's downhill races which means he has taken home 20 cheeses in 13 years. The 29-year-old's tally now equals that of record holder Stephen Gyde. Mr Anderson said he felt ""overwhelmed and exhausted"" after finishing the contest and was looking forward to celebrating. ""It's brilliant to have equalled the record, hard to put into words, so happy,"" he said. He added that he ""looks forward"" to coming back next year and beating Mr Gyde's record. Mr Anderson has famously said he does not like double Gloucester as it is ""too strong"", so this year he will be auctioning one of his cheeses off for charity, and giving the other two away to family. One family member who has a cheese of her own is Mr Anderson's niece Kacey, who won the 11-15's race for the third year in a row. She said: ""I'm feeling very tired, but I tried my best and just thought I'm going to give it another shot and see if I can get it.""

+"That will be a shame for a leader who guided 532 pieces of legislation through a hung parliament, including some major social and environmental reforms. But for better or for worse, it will be an accurate reflection of how her premiership was perceived in Australia at the time. Julia Gillard was then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's deputy when, to stem the wound of Labor's plummeting popularity, she deposed him in a surprise coup in June 2010. The irony that he too had been given the boot, before being allowed to serve out his term as Australia's elected leader, has not been lost on the many Gillard detractors. Despite Australia's long history of political coups, that event set the idea that Julia, as she is frequently referred to in Australia, had knifed a mate. There are many narratives about what finally led to her downfall. All have elements of truth and which one you believe most depends on which tribe you belong to. To many women, it was the undeniable misogyny and sexist scrutiny she endured throughout her leadership that brought her down. ""Deliberately barren"", ""bitch"" and ""witch"" were all phrases thrown around, sometimes by opposition MPs. One of Australia's most listened-to radio commentators suggested, weeks after her beloved father passed away, that he had ""died of shame"". Another radio ""shock-jock"" asked her if her partner was gay. He lost his job. The first commentator is still on air. A Liberal party supporter penned a mock menu for a fundraiser which promised to serve up ""Julia Gillard Kentucky Fried Quail -Small Breasts, Huge Thighs and a Big Red Box"". Even feminist Germaine Greer once said the PM's ""arse was fat"". Many Australians rightly say that no male politician has ever been subjected to such continued, personal attacks. But that is not the whole story. Even her supporters agree that her government was gifted at shooting itself in the foot. The opposition's strategy of hammering home Labor's U-turns was made easy by two big policy flips: the carbon tax and the promise of a budget surplus. It imposed the first when it said it would not and did not manage the second when it repeatedly said it would. Tony Abbott: 2, Julia Gillard: 0. Labor under Gillard was also perplexingly bad at letting the electorate know about its achievements - a revolutionary national insurance system for the disabled, a much-needed plan to save a key Australian river system, tax reform, education reform. They all seem to have been somehow overshadowed and not just by powerful negative messaging from the opposition. On the day she was delivering an historic apology to victims of forced adoptions, she was subjected to a phantom leadership challenge by her own party. Instead of a powerful message of a government righting wrongs, the electorate got a vision of a party in disarray and this was the image it carried home. Australia is nearly unique in Western democracies for the way it has survived the global financial crisis.  Unemployment is low, debt to GDP ratio is comparatively low and its citizens enjoy a remarkable standard of living. But this is not the message that Australians have absorbed. Instead it is one of a country on the verge of a crash, with unacceptably high debt and precarious finances. This is partially down to a media that seems to be particularly adept at looking for the gloom, but must also be down to a government that never found a way to explain to Australians how well they have endured the crisis. Julia Gillard herself was not the best communicator. Even her friends acknowledge she needed to show more of the passion and warmth that was there but was so often kept in reserve. But really what did for Julia was Kevin Rudd himself - the man she had toppled, who never let go of his dream of getting back into the top job. Once he challenged and failed. Another time his supporters called for him to challenge and he did not. The third time he rose again, after spending months courting the media in carefully scripted moments that were officially about campaigning for Labor, but were really about reminding voters he was still there, waiting in the wings, should they want him. Polls show Labor is likely to do much better in the coming election under Kevin Rudd than Julia Gillard and the caucus finally decided to risk seeming like a fickle rabble rather than face a thrashing under a maligned leader. Hillary Clinton famously said, when she lost out on the US Democratic party's presidential nomination, that she had not shattered her country's ""highest and hardest"" glass ceiling, but there were now 18 million cracks in it. The lesson we might take from Julia Gillard's career is that shattering Australia's glass ceiling resulted in walking on a lot of broken shards.","In the end , Julia Gillard is likely to be remembered more for the manner of her coming , the manner of her going and her gender , than for what she @placeholder during her three years as Australia 's prime minister .",experienced,described,occurred,performed,achieved

+"The plan involved buying hacking tools offered by the Shadow Brokers and then protecting computers before they could be targeted by cyber-criminals. But critics had argued that the Shadow Brokers should not benefit in this way. One of the researchers behind the plan said the scheme was being abandoned for ""legal reasons"". Some critics had warned that paying the Shadow Brokers for access to their hacking tools, even with honest intentions, could be illegal. The Shadow Brokers previously sold access to hacking tools allegedly stolen from the US National Security Agency - but often released the vulnerabilities for free later anyway. One of the tools was used to help spread the WannaCry malware that affected thousands of organisations worldwide, including the UK's NHS. The hacking group currently plans to sell a new batch of security exploits, for a payment via the crypto-currency Zcash, worth about $22,000 (?¡ê17,000). On Tuesday, two security researchers set up a crowd-funding campaign to buy access to the exploits, so the vulnerabilities could be fixed instead. But the idea divided the cyber-security community. ""There's a 50-50 split on whether it is a good idea and whether it would encourage Shadow Brokers to continue their activities,"" said Matthew Hickey from the cyber-security firm Hacker House, who set up the crowd-funding campaign. Others were more outspoken: ""Individuals and corps funding criminals is insane,"" said security researcher Kevin Beaumont.

""It's a big challenge for us as a pack, but it's the sort of thing we thrive on,"" said Wasps second row Davies. ""We've got to win the set-piece battle up front, for me up front is where the game is won or lost. ""The English pack try to dominate you so we've got to raise the standard again and hopefully take it to them."" Davies believes Wales get better as the tournament unfolds. Wales won at Twickenham in the 2015 World Cup as well as recording victories there on the road to their 2008 and 2012 Grand Slams. They are chasing their first back-to-back victories at the home of English rugby since 1978. Davies, 29, made his first start of the Six Nations in the 19-10 win over France following a knee injury to Luke Charteris, having been on the bench for the opening two games. ""In our [recent] history, we tend to get better the more weeks we get together,"" Davies told BBC Wales Sport. ""We proved that with a slow start against Ireland, and each week we've improved so hopefully we can do the same at 'HQ'. ""It's going to be difficult, but we have been there before and won. ""We always believe, wherever we play or whoever we play against, we can beat everyone. We got written off before the [World Cup] game and it was nice to get a win. ""People have said a lot about what they [England] didn't do but I think we deserve credit for what we did, we defended well and hung on in there."" Davies, who has 52 caps, has plenty of respect for the English second rows after playing with or against them for Wasps in the Aviva Premiership. ""I've seen a lot of [Maro Itoje] in the Premiership, he's very good,"" he added. ""George Kruis is a very under-rated player who's starting to get the fruits of that [work] with people starting to recognise how good he is.

But other Twitter users have been less complimentary, with one describing it as the ""worst Bond theme ever"". BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson said it was ""good enough, but not a classic"". The song, whose full version runs for 4 minutes and 38 seconds, begins with the words: ""I've been here before / But always hit the floor."" ""I've spent a lifetime running, and I always get away,"" it continues. ""But with you I'm feeling something, that makes we want to stay."" ""I think it's a song about a man deciding to quit it all for love,"" Paterson said of the track on BBC Breakfast, comparing its melody to that of Michael Jackson's 1995 single Earth Song. He also suggested it was far superior to Die Another Day, the much-derided song Madonna contributed to the 2002 Bond film of that name. Comedian David Schneider was not convinced, greeting the song's release with the words: ""The name is Bland. James Bland."" Yet fellow comic Omid Djalili was far more effusive, tweeting the song had left him ""in a broken heap.""

+"The federal heritage committee is discussing the future of media in the country. Committee chair Hedy Fry says in the past few months witnesses have repeatedly raised the issue of ""false news and the post-truth era"". She says the concerns have ""galvanised"" the committee. ""We saw what happened in the United States,"" the Liberal MP said. ""The United States woke everybody up."" ""You had people making up stories and putting it out there. You had people judging a person's character, making a decision about policy based on total fabrication and going out there and voting on that."" Fictional news became an issue during the US presidential election, with fake news websites springing up during the campaign. The misleading, sensationalist stories spread widely on social media. ""This is a brand new horse that's bolted out of the stable and people are still chasing the horse trying to find out what's going on,"" said Ms Fry. The committee began looking at the impact digital technology has had on Canada's media industry in February. It expects to table its final report with recommendations next spring. The MPs have heard from more than 120 witnesses, including representatives from Facebook, Google, and the country's largest media companies. University of Calgary assistant professor Gregory Taylor, who researches media and democracy, told the BBC that the suggestion of increased regulation was often enough for companies like Google and Facebook to take notice. ""Just the threat of government being involved can have an impact,"" he said, pointing to Germany, where Facebook, Google and Twitter recently agreed a deal to remove hate speech posted on their websites within 24 hours. The White House has also weighed in on phony content concerns. This month, press secretary Josh Earnest said false news had a ""corrosive effect"" on American society after a North Carolina man was arrested for firing a rifle inside a pizza restaurant in Washington DC that was the target of a fake US election story. The Pope and President Barack Obama have also criticised the spread of fake news online and its potential impact. Facebook has already announced new features to help combat fabricated news stories. In November, it also teamed up with Internet search giant Google to restrict advertisements on sites carrying false content. But Ms Fry said this was a complex issue with no easy solutions.

+"Mr Mills died following a long battle against cancer. The 77-year-old was Worcestershire County Cricket Supporters Association (WCCSA) chairman for 41 years, having officially taken on the role in 1975. His work was supported by his wife Pat, who was secretary for more than 40 years until her death in April 2014. The association has raised close to an estimated ?¡ê7m in the 65 years since being formed in 1951. Mills was only the third chairman in its history. Prior to that, he had already contracted bone cancer, which he fought for a decade while carrying on his duties as both WCCSA chairman and treasurer. Mills was awarded an MBE for his services to the association. All 18 first-class counties, just like any fan-owned football club or many grassroots sporting organisations, owe a debt of gratitude to the hours of unpaid service put in by faithful followers. But the WCCSA has proved more successful than most, relying largely on membership payments, donations and its successful club shop. This has helped fund improvements to facilities all over the 120-year-old county ground at New Road. The Ladies Pavilion, the New Road Stand, the old Diglis End scoreboard, the players' dressing rooms attached to the old Pavilion, and the press box were among the many things paid for from the funds.

The meal reportedly took place in the southern city of Shenzhen last week. At least 14 policemen have been suspended over the incident, local media report. Officials have been discouraged from holding expensive feasts under President Xi Jinping's austerity and anti-corruption drive. China last year also approved stricter penalties for people caught eating rare wild animals, with offenders jailed for up to 10 years. The Southern Metropolis Daily published an extensive report  (in Chinese) on Monday documenting the incident. The paper said that last Wednesday it received a tip-off that about 28 people, including senior public security officials, were using public funds to pay for a banquet that night, where they would be eating the endangered salamander.

A dinner guest later confirmed with the paper that they were served a giant salamander which the host had brought for the party. Chinese giant salamanders, which can grow to nearly 180cm (5.9 ft), are critically endangered and a protected wildlife species in China, but are also considered a delicacy. The meal reportedly cost 6,352 yuan (?¡ê673; $1,015). Guests were also seen being given bags of fish as they left.

Ms McArdle told the Andersonstown News - in her first public comments since she was appointed as special adviser to Culture Minister Caral Ni Chuilin - that she regretted that it happened and she did not believe anything she said could ease the family's grief. ""If I were to begin to describe the specific context of conflict I would be accused of trying to justify her death, and I have no wish to do that.""

+"Media playback is not supported on this device The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it will ""explore the legal options"" before deciding whether to implement ""a collective ban"" on all Russian competitors for the global showpiece, which starts on 5 August. In the meantime, the IOC says it plans to re-test all Russians who competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. This follows the findings of the McLaren report, which said urine samples of Russian competitors were manipulated across the ""vast majority"" of summer and winter Olympic sports from late 2011 to August 2015. The IOC also said it will: Calls for a blanket ban on Russia - from both the Olympics and Paralympics - followed the publication of the McLaren report on Monday. IOC president Thomas Bach said the findings of the report were a ""shocking and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and on the Olympic Games"". Wada president Sir Craig Reedie described the ""scope and scale"" of the findings as a ""real horror story"". He said his organisation wanted the IOC to ""decline entries, for Rio 2016, of all athletes"" submitted by the Russian Olympic and Paralympic committees. Mutko, meanwhile, has denied that the government directed the doping programme in Russia. He also told the Interfax news agency he was hoping for a ""reasonable"" decision from the IOC on Russia's participation in Rio. BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway: ""Is what Russia has done here so bad that it warrants a collective ban, as no Russian can be above suspicion and therefore no Russians should go to Rio? Or is it a case that individual sporting federations should decide for themselves if certain Russian athletes can go? It's a very complicated area. ""It looks, on the face of this statement, as though the IOC is edging towards a blanket ban. Russia want to be at the Olympics. It would be a national humiliation for them not to be. So they will fight on to try to make sure their athletes are there next month."" Commissioned by Wada, it looked into claims made by Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of Russia's national anti-doping laboratory. He alleged he doped dozens of athletes, including at least 15 medallists, in the build-up to the Sochi Games. He said this was the result of an elaborate plot with the Russian government, which exploited its host status to subvert the drug-testing programme. Russia topped the table in Sochi, winning 33 medals, 13 of them gold. Rodchenkov, now in hiding in the United States, also alleged he doped athletes before the 2012 Olympics in London, the 2013 World Athletics Championships in Moscow and the 2015 World Swimming Championships in Kazan. It has already suspended a number of senior sports officials following the publication of the McLaren report. Despite his denial of any state-sponsored doping programme, sports minister Mutko told the R-Sport news agency he had suspended anti-doping advisor Natalia Zhelanova as well as Irina Rodionova, deputy head of Russia's state-funded Sports Preparation Centre, and two other officials. McLaren said Zhelanova and Rodionova had worked closely with Russian deputy sports minister Yury Nagornykh to cover up positive tests since 2011. Nagornykh has also been suspended. Football's world governing body Fifa will look at claims in the report that Mutko was involved in covering up positive dope tests by footballers. Mutko is a Fifa council member, the president of the 2018 Russia World Cup organising committee, president of the Russian Football Union and a member of Uefa's executive. Russia's track and field athletes are already barred from competing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio as a result of doping violations. The International Association of Athletics Federations, the body that governs world athletics, voted in June to maintain a global competition ban on the All-Russia Athletic Federation (Araf). Araf hopes to overturn the suspension and will find out by Thursday if its appeal to Cas has been successful. He is the Canadian law professor who led the independent commission that looked into allegations of state-sponsored doping in Russia. He said his investigative team had found 580 positive tests were covered up across 30 different sports in the build-up to the 2012 Olympics in London and during the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Russian city of Sochi.

He previously pleaded guilty to failing to change the ship's course to avoid the collision which resulted in Daniel McNeil's death. On Wednesday, Miccio's lawyer asked that he be spared a jail term. Miccio, of Sorrento in south west Italy, was originally charged with culpable homicide. The High Court in Glasgow heard that he failed to change course despite warnings from his crew about the proximity of the fishing vessel before the two collided at St Abbs Head, off the Berwickshire coast. After the collision, Daniel McNeil and his brother Joseph climbed onto the roof of their boat but it sank before they had time to put life jackets on. Joseph, the boat's skipper, was rescued from the water by the crew of a passing trawler but Daniel drowned. His body was found three months later and he was identified by his distinctive trainers.

+"Guantanamo has held some 775 inmates who have been accused of links to al-Qaeda or the Taliban. Many have been freed or transferred to foreign governments, and five have been convicted by military tribunals, leaving a reported 170 or so still in custody there. In mid-December 2009, Mr Obama ordered the preparation of a federal facility in Thomson, Illinois, to receive prisoners from Guantanamo. However, Congress has not provided funding for this. A month earlier, US Attorney General Eric Holder had said the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and four others would face a civilian trial in New York, but this has since been put in doubt. Bipartisan opposition to the transfer of Guantanamo prisoners to the US has grown. Congress has not authorised funding for transfers and Mr Holder said in April 2010 that Guantanamo could not close without it. Some prisoners are considered too dangerous to be released, yet the US holds no evidence that can be used in civilian or military trials against them. A committee convened by Mr Obama determined in January that 48 prisoners were too dangerous to transfer but could not feasibly be prosecuted. Of the rest, a large portion have been cleared for release but have nowhere to go. The US fears some would face torture in their home countries but cannot find another country to receive them. Meanwhile, in January 2010 Mr Obama suspended the release of prisoners from Yemen to that country, citing security concerns. Five prisoners, including Canadian Omar Khadr, have been convicted in military tribunals held at Guantanamo Bay. Two of those served short sentences and returned home to Australia and Yemen, and two others are serving sentences at Guantanamo Bay. What about trials in normal civilian courts? Six prisoners were approved for trial in civilian courts, including the alleged leaders of the 9/11 attacks. The first trial has now taken place, in New York City. In it, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was convicted of only one count of 285 for his role in the 1998 bombings of US embassies in east Africa. The judge excluded much of the evidence against him because it was held to have been obtained by coercive methods. The result is being seen as a blow to President Obama's hopes of using the civilian courts for other trials. The likely result is that there will be a mix of trials, military tribunals and continuing detentions. This is unclear. The issue was not widely debated during the mid-term elections and Mr Obama has largely ceased to push for closure in public. Mr Obama has been determined to shift the balance where possible from military tribunals to civilian courts and this trial in itself was seen as a major step towards closing the camp. The plan was to have the trial of the main alleged conspirators take place in New York City, close to the scene of the 9/11 attacks, but local objections, largely on grounds of security, have forced a rethink. Moving the trial somewhere else is possible; another option is to hold a military tribunal. The procedure would be the same as for any other civilian trial, though parts of it might be closed when secret information is being presented. The trial would be different from the military tribunal the defendants had faced. There would be a civilian jury which has to decide the issues unanimously, and defence lawyers would have greater scope to challenge any confession that might have been based on waterboarding. The result of the Ghailani case was hailed by some as a vindication of the civilian system but by others as a threat to US security. The attorney general said he would seek the death penalty, which is allowed in a federal court. Yes, because the task force looking into this says the ""realities of the battlefield"" might prevent the normal collection of evidence. Soldiers could not, for example, be expected to read a captured prisoner his rights, something required in civilian cases. Intelligence sources might also have to be protected. Some relatives of the 9/11 victims are opposed to the camp's closure, believing that it is a secure location to try terror suspects. Human rights groups have broadly welcomed the move. However, some activists and lawyers have expressed concern about how long it is taking to close Guantanamo, and that some form of military tribunal or even indefinite detention will continue.","US President Barack Obama was unable to close the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba by 22 January 2010 , as he had @placeholder .",predicted,suggested,intended,requested,prepared

Ms White also said they claimed that profit margins were too low. O2 is owned by Spain's Telefonica, while Three is owned by Hong Kong-based conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa. ""Consolidation can in theory have benefits - improving economies of scale and making it easier to finance investment. However, Ofcom's experience is that competition, not consolidation, drives investment and delivers low prices,"" Ms White said. Having four UK networks had delivered ""good results for consumers and sustainable returns for companies"", she added. The Ofcom chief said a combined Three/O2 would have a market share of more than 40% and would remove the ""competitive new entrant"" in Three. Her comments follow last week's warning by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) that the merger threatened to ""affect significantly competition"" in both the retail and wholesale mobile markets. The CMA has asked the European Commission for the right to investigate the deal, rather than the EC, as it said the deal mostly affected UK consumers. It also argued there were ""clear links"" between this deal and BT's ?¡ê12.5bn deal to buy EE. The EC must decide by 30 October whether to allow the CMA to investigate. Ms White said this was a crucial period for the telecoms market. ""The scale of change in the next 12 months and beyond could dwarf what we have seen over the last 10 years. If the current merger wave continues, there are risks to consumers and businesses who have enjoyed one of the most competitive markets of recent years,"" she said.",The UK telecoms watchdog has cast doubt on the merger of O2 and Three winning regulatory @placeholder .,closure,approval,service,groups,fraud

+"Yet stick with it, and though you will find the collection packs a powerful emotional punch, it also shows how a photograph can speak about far more than what  it depicts. The work was created between 1976 and 1982 following Fukase's divorce, and it is perhaps that little fact that can change how you read these images. They are dark and mysterious, yet this is a personal statement of loss. Akira Hasegawa wrote the afterword to the book of the work and captures this well. ""In the case of Masahisa Fukase, the subject of his gaze became the raven. For him, the 'raven' was both a tangible creature and a fitting symbol of his own solitude."" One could argue that these are the saddest set of images ever created, but we should be aware that our reading of them is affected by the knowledge of why they were created. Yet even without that knowledge, each frame seems to contain some kind of pain. Technically they are far from perfect, but that, too, adds to the feeling of honesty: Fukase's desire to visualise his internal thoughts and feelings. The pictures work as single frames but together they show what can be achieved by an artist with a camera, and though widely seen before are well worth another look. Fukase was born in 1934 in Bifuka, Japan, and the defeat of his country during World War Two is said to have shaped much of his work, and indeed that of others with whom he collaborated. He set up a photographic school, The Workshop, with Daido Moriyma and Shomei Tomatsu in the 1970s. Masahisa Fukase died in 2012 having been incapacitated by a fall that left him in a coma 20 years earlier.

+"The shrine is dedicated to souls of about 2.5 million Japanese men, women and children who died for their country since that time. They include soldiers, war-time nurses, students who entered battle and those who committed suicide in shame at the end of World War II. At the centre of the shrine's controversy is the fact that those venerated include 14 convicted Class A war criminals, including Prime Minister General Hideki Tojo, who was executed for war crimes in 1948. Within the shrine, the souls of the dead are worshipped rather than just remembered. According to Japan's national Shinto religion, humans are transformed into kami or deities when they die, and as such, are worshipped by their descendants. Surrounded by war banners and military regalia, the Yasukuni kami are venerated by hundreds of thousands of visitors at the shrine each year. Compared with most Shinto shrines, which were founded hundreds of years ago, the dedication of the Yasukuni shrine was a relatively recent affair. Analysts say that because the main wars it commemorates are those with China and the US, it appears to the political left to symbolise foreign invasions. To the right, it is a symbol of patriotism. The shrine is frequently at the centre of political storms. There have been several parliamentary debates aimed at removing General Tojo's kami, but nationalists have blocked these every time. The debate intensifies in the lead up to 15 August - the anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II. Several lawmakers pay their respects at the shrine each year, but only one prime minister, Yasuhiro Nakasone in 1985, has made an official visit since the war. Former Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto made what he said was a private visit on his birthday in July 1996. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi made six visits to Yasukuni during his time in office from 2001-2006. Arguments have ensued over whether these were made in a private or official capacity. Visits by leaders and senior ministers anger Japan's Asian neighbours, especially China, South Korea and North Korea, who were victims of the country's military aggression in the first half of the 20th century. They say the shrine represents Japan's past militarism - something for which they feel it has not fully apologised. ""The Yasukuni Shrine issue is about whether Japan correctly acknowledges its history of invasion and of Japanese militarism, and about the feelings of the people in victims' countries, including China,"" China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.","The Yasukuni Shrine - the name means @placeholder country - in Tokyo , Japan , is a Shinto shrine founded in 1869 on the orders of Emperor Meiji .",peaceful,inspired,lost,annual,sacred

+"Most men over the age of 60 have non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says many of these, if they are having symptoms, could have the new therapy rather than conventional surgery. The treatment delivers a beam of green light to vaporise overgrown tissue. The standard care currently is to cut away the tissue using a thin, hot loop of wire during a procedure known as TURP. While TURP is effective, experts say the new laser treatment could be more convenient for patients. Unlike TURP, it can be done as a day treatment, meaning the patient does not have to stay in hospital overnight. This should save the NHS money too - up to an estimated ?¡ê3m, says the NICE. For the laser treatment, a thin length of laser fibre is passed up the urethra (the tube in the penis that carries urine out of the body) until it reaches the target - the prostate gland that sits just below the bladder and enwraps the urethra. The laser is then turned on to blast the tissue. This should reverse any blockages and alleviate the patient's symptoms. Prof Carole Longson, from the NICE, said: ""Whilst benign enlarged prostates may not be life-threatening, the condition can impact on men's lives significantly. ""A procedure to reduce the amount of excess prostate tissue can improve the quality of life for men."" Higher risk men with very large prostates (bigger than 100ml) or severe symptoms, however, should still be treated with TURP or stronger lasers. The prostate gland is part of a man's reproductive system, and its job is to make the fluid to carry and nurture sperm. An enlarged prostate - known as BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) - is very common, particularly as men get older, and will not always need treating. Left untreated, it can get in the way of emptying the bladder, meaning you have to go to the toilet more often or need to strain to pass urine. In the long term, this could potentially cause other problems such as urine infections or damage to the bladder or kidneys. BPH can sometimes be managed with medication, but a procedure, such as TURP or a laser treatment, may be recommended.","Some 13,000 men in England could benefit from a laser treatment to manage symptoms from an enlarged prostate , the NHS is being @placeholder .",declared,advised,funded,offered,developed
+"The team, from the University of Bristol, found that raindrops kick off very fast vibrations in the lid of the plant's jug-shaped leaves. This propels ants from the lid into the pitcher trap below, where they drown and are consumed by digestive juices. The findings, published in the journal PNAS, are based on high-speed cameras and laser vibration measurements. Using these instruments, Dr Ulrike Bauer and her colleagues recorded extremely fast movement in the lid of the pitcher leaf, after it was hit by a raindrop. It wobbles like a stiff spring, she said. ""You have a raindrop hitting the surface and that causes it to move down, fast. Then because of this spring property, it moves to a certain point and springs back. ""You get an oscillation, very similar to when you put a ruler on the edge of your desk and flick the end down with your finger."" This movement is unique in the plant kingdom, Dr Bauer said - partly because of its speed, which easily outstrips the insect-trapping manoeuvres of other carnivorous plants, and partly because of the way it exploits an external energy source. ""Having a fast movement in a plant is unusual in itself,"" she explained, ""but having a fast movement that doesn't require the plant to invest any energy - it just requires it to build the structure - that's something quite surprising."" The findings place the species in the study, Nepenthes gracilis, into its own carnivorous category; it belongs neither with ""active"" carnivorous plants, like flytraps, nor motionless ""passive"" insect eaters - like most other pitcher plants. Key to the pitcher's rain-powered trap is the stiffness of its lid. When the team studied another species, which catches ants using only the slippery rim of its pitcher, they found it had a more bendy lid. This meant that vibrations from a falling raindrop were concentrated right at the tip - much like the motion of a springboard used in competitive diving, Dr Bauer explained. ""It concentrates the acceleration at the very tip. If you try to jump off the middle of a diving board, it's not very effective. That's why divers walk to the very edge."" This is no good for the pitcher plant, if it is going to bounce ants into its maw. ""The pitcher wants to maximise the area where insects fall from that surface,"" Dr Bauer said. So the stiff lid on the leaves of N. gracilis is perfectly adapted, because it spreads out the movement - and the danger for its prey.","A carnivorous pitcher plant uses power from falling raindrops to fling ants to their @placeholder , biologists have discovered .",victims,nest,glory,identities,doom

+"The first Project Ara hardware was due to be trialled in Puerto Rico this year, but has been pushed back to at least 2016. The trial will take place in a new location in the US, the Project Ara team said via a series of tweets. The team blamed ""lots of iterations"" in the design, which was first shown off in 2013, for the delay. Project Ara is Google's intriguing attempt at creating a smartphone that comes in bits. It means certain components can be added or taken away without the need for intricate alterations to the phone. It would potentially mean smashed screens or worn batteries would be less costly to replace - as well as allowing others to create bespoke hardware for specific tasks. Google had planned to offer around 20 to 30 different modules for the Puerto Rico trial. In a series of tweets, the team told followers that ""#Project Ara isn't going anywhere"", but said it had been set back by ""Lots of iterationsa€| more than we thought"". The first public demonstration of the technology, at Google's I/O developers conference in May, was well-received. Writing on a forum for developers interested in working on Project Ara, San Francisco based designer Garrett Kinsman said he felt a ""sense of overwhelming sadness"" at the delay.

+"Being born before 34 weeks of pregnancy is linked to a host of health problems. The study,published in the Lancet, showed that using a ""cervical pessary"" reduced the rate in the at-risk group. Doctors said more studies were needed before the technique was used routinely. The authors said 13 million babies were born prematurely every year. In the trial, doctors were looking at women who had a cervix - part of the lower section of the uterus - which was shorter than 25mm. These pregnant women are thought to be at a higher risk of an early delivery. The cervix was measured between 18 and 22 weeks into the pregnancy by an ultrasound scan. Of the 11,875 women who took part in the trial, 726 had a cervical length less than 25mm. Half of these women had a pessary, a small ring of silicone, inserted into their cervix. In the group of women without the pessary, 27% of babies were born prematurely. The rate was six per cent among those fitted with a pessary. Maria Goya, one of the researchers at the Vall d'Hebron Hospital, said: ""Placement of a pessary is an affordable procedure, non-invasive, and easy to insert and remove as required."" The study concluded the pessary was a ""reliable alternative for prevention of preterm birth"" in a group of at-risk women. Prof Steve Thornton of the University of Exeter, a spokesman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said: ""The difference in the two groups is pretty amazing."" He said more research was needed to prove that it worked, and to find out if it could help other women at risk of a premature birth. ""If this is borne out it could make a big difference,"" he added. Drs Steve Caritis and Hyagriv Simhan, of the Magee Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh, said the findings had ""renewed enthusiasm for the cervix as a therapeutic target"" in preventing premature births. However, they warned that few women had a short cervical length, which made ""this screening approach fairly inefficient"". They added: ""Additional well-designed studies are needed before pessary use can be validated as an effective treatment.""","A @placeholder medical device can dramatically reduce the number of premature births in some at-risk women , according to a team of doctors in Spain .",special,powerful,cheap,renowned,prehistoric

""It's probably the worst 45 minutes I've been involved with at the football club,"" he told BBC Scotland. ""But we changed things at half-time and then we out-fought them, out-battled them and outplayed them in that order."" Robinson felt his side had been ""losing the midfield battle"" in the first half, but second-half goals from Richard Tait and Louis Moult secured Well's first win of the Premiership season. Englishman Ryan Bowman came on at the break and made a significant contribution, and Robinson also praised the impact of an emerging 19-year-old. ""Allan Campbell came on and made a tremendous difference,"" he said. ""He won every second ball and gave us a foothold in the game. Ryan Bowman was excellent too and chased every ball. ""Credit to Ross County; they came out the traps well, passed it really well and out-fought us and most definitely outplayed us in the first half."" Moult's third goal of the season came from the penalty spot and Robinson was pleased with his display despite speculation surrounding his future. Chris Cadden is another player rumoured to be interesting other clubs, with Hull City reportedly keen. ""Unless someone puts in a ridiculous bid that's acceptable to the board, then Louis Moult is 100% committed to Motherwell until the end of the season,"" said Robinson. ""I wouldn't be starting him if I didn't think he was committed. ""The club have had no contact at all about Chris Cadden in recent weeks. He's a super young footballer and like others he's attracted interest, but there have been no bids and he is a Motherwell player."" Ross County boss Jim McIntyre was left to lament his side's lack of cutting edge. ""That's as good a first-half display as we have had in my time here,"" he told BBC Scotland. ""We were excellent, but didn't have that ruthless side and it came back to bite us. ""Motherwell made the system change in the second half and more or less matched us up.

He and US President Barack Obama have also agreed on new guidelines for defence co-operation. But his speech to the joint session of Congress was scrutinised for comments on Japan's aggression in World War Two. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the conflict. Mr Abe said he had visited the World War Two memorial in Washington and reflected upon the 400,000 American troops who died with ""deep repentance in my heart"". ""My dear friends, on behalf of Japan and the Japanese people, I offer with profound respect my eternal condolences to the souls of all American people that were lost during World War Two,'' he said, to warm applause. Mr Abe also acknowledged that Japan had ""brought suffering to the peoples in Asian countries"", adding: ""We must not avert our eyes from that."" However, correspondents say he stopped short of offering his own apology for Japan's conduct during the war, which included the sexual enslavement of tens of thousands of Asian women by Japanese troops. In the audience was Lee Yong-soo, one of thousands of Korean women forced into Japanese military brothels during the war. She was invited to Congress by Democratic Representative Mike Honda, a strong critic of Mr Abe. Mr Abe was the first Japanese Prime Minister to address a joint session of the US Congress.

+"He was a prolific writer, toured extensively and released his last album days before he died. We take a look at the David Bowie's career in numbers - from world tours to numbers of platinum-selling albums. Sources: Google maps; tour dates from Wikipedia David Bowie propelled himself to international superstardom with his epic theatrical Ziggy Stardust tour, which took in the UK, the US and Japan, with approaching 200 shows over 18 gruelling months from January 1972. At the tour's climax in July 1973 at London's Hammersmith Odeon Bowie announced that ""this is the last show we'll ever do"" to the astonishment of devoted fans. While Stardust was no more, Bowie's limitless capacity for genre-hopping and self-reinvention was just beginning, and his appetite for touring in each of his many guises continued unabated - with periodic pauses - until nearly the turn of the millennium. The Heathen tour of 2002 was comparatively modest in scale by Bowie's standards, but still included four transatlantic trips, while the A Reality tour from 2003 to 2004 was his biggest since Ziggy Stardust. It would also prove to be his last. ?¡ê135m estimated net worth* 140 million albums sold since his first release in 1967 111 singles - averaging more than two a year during his career 51 music videos, along with a number of film roles including The Man Who Fell to Earth and Labyrinth 25 studio albums, including Blackstar, which was released two days before his death David Bowie was a prolific writer, producing 25 studio albums (two more if you include albums as part of the band Tin Machine) and dozens of other compilations, live albums, video albums and EPs. His biggest selling album in the UK was his 1972 release The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, according to the Official Charts UK.

Mr Alwitry said he had queried the safety of certain practices. SEB said it was considering future legal action over the findings. The board said it had noted the report's observations and expressed ""significant disappointment"" regarding a number of conclusions which it said it would not comment on. Mr Alwitry, who was born in Jersey, said he was ""absolutely gutted"" when his contract was withdrawn ""completely out of the blue"". He said: ""I didn't eat for a week.

+"Six candidates have been barred from running in the September poll for failing to prove they are no longer in favour of Hong Kong's independence. Three of the rejected candidates joined the march to the offices of the chief executive, where police met them. Beijing considers the former British territory an inseparable part of China. Jimmy Sham, head of the Civil Human Rights Front which organised the march, said the key issues protesters were highlighting were judicial independence, and the principle of political neutrality for civil servants, which includes the electoral returning officers. A court, he said, should decide who is not allowed to run in the election, not the electoral affairs office. The protest comes days after a court spared three student leaders who led mass rallies and sit-ins in 2014 from jail. Joshua Wong, who became the teenage face of the protests, was given 80 hours of community service for unlawful assembly. Nathan Law was sentenced to 120 hours, while Alex Chow was given a three-week prison sentence suspended for a year.

+"The hostages - from Italy, Britain, Greece and Lebanon - were captured in a raid on a construction site in the northern state of Bauchi. In an online statement posted on Saturday, the militant group Ansaru said it had killed the captives. Ansaru is suspected of being an offshoot of the Boko Haram network. On Sunday, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said a British construction worker, named as Brendan Vaughan, was ""likely to have been killed at the hands of his captors, along with six other foreign nationals"". ""This is an unforgivable act of pure, cold-blooded murder, for which there can be no excuse or justification,"" he added. The Italian government issued a similar statement, while the Greek foreign ministry said: ""The information we have shows that the Greek citizen is dead."" Who are Nigeria's Ansaru militants? Ansaru's online message included grainy pictures purporting to show the bodies of the seven - a Briton, an Italian, a Greek and four Lebanese workers. The group said they had been killed because of a rescue attempt by British and Nigerian forces. But in its statement, the Italian foreign ministry said: ""There was never any military attempt to rescue the hostages by any of the governments concerned."" It added that the group's actions ""can have no explanation other than blind and barbaric violence"". Britain's military said its warplanes which were recently spotted in Nigeria's capital Abuja had been there to carry soldiers taking part in the French-led operation in Mali - not to rescue hostages. The seven hostages were seized in a raid from a site belonging to the Setraco construction company. It resulted in the death of a guard. Ansaru said it had carried out the attack in revenge for what it called atrocities by European nations against Islam. The group, formed in January 2012, has been listed by the UK government as a ""terrorist organisation"" aligned with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. It abducted French national Francis Colump in December in an attack on a compound in the northern state of Katsina. In January Ansaru said it had carried out an attack that killed two Nigerian soldiers as they prepared to deploy to Mali, where French-led troops have been fighting Islamic militants.","A Nigerian Islamist militant group 's claims to have killed seven foreign hostages it seized last month are @placeholder , Western governments say .",continuing,credible,inaccurate,dire,absurd

Mr Valizadeh did not respond when asked on Twitter to provide further evidence of his proposed Australian trip.

+"The panel produces clean water from the humidity in the air, through filters. Researchers at the University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) in Lima and advertising agency Mayo Peru DraftFCB joined forces to launch it. UTEC says it wanted to put ""imagination into action"" and show that it is possible to solve people's problems through engineering and technology. ""A billboard that produces drinking water from air,"" says the billboard up high. And it does what it says on the tin: so far, the billboard has produced over 9,000 litres of drinking water - 96 litres a day. The panel is strategically located in the village of Bujama, an area south of the capital city that is almost a desert, where some people have no access to clean water. Despite tough conditions with little rain, air humidity reaches 98%, says UTEC. ""The panel traps humidity in the air and transforms it into water. It's that simple,"" said Jessica Ruas, a spokesperson from the university. ""There is a lot of water. It is right there in the sea, but it is not suitable for drinking purposes, and costs a lot of money to process it."" Ruas says the system might become a wider solution for the problem. ""It doesn't have to come in the shape of a billboard, but ingenuity is key to development"". Internally, the panel consists of five devices that extract water vapour from the air using a condenser and filters. Water is stored in tanks at the top of the structure. Once filtered, it flows down a pipe connected to a tap, accessible to everybody. The internal system costs some US$1,200 (?¡ê790) to set up. On the publicity side, the panel itself seeks to attract the ""creative minds that Peru needs"" to the young UTEC, which was founded only a year ago.

+"It says many young people are unaware a professional advocate is available through their local authority. The report says there is a lack of strategic leadership from the Welsh government to ensure children have equal access to the service. But a government spokesman said it was committed to children and ""driving forward"" their rights. Over seven months 500 children and young people across Wales were spoken to. The report, called Missing Voices, was the commissioner Keith Towler's first statutory review and looked at independent professional advocacy for looked after children and young people; care leavers and children in need. Case study: David* David was placed in 61 different foster and children's homes between the ages of five and 15. David's main regret was that, despite being very close to his brothers and sisters before he was taken into care, he was not able to see them very often. Social services only arranged for them to meet up once a year at Christmas. He said it was a reunion he looked forward to all year but was left devastated on one occasion when social services failed to organise the event. *Not his real name Mr Towler said he was saddened by the findings. ""The purpose of my review is not to point the finger of blame at anyone but instead to reinvigorate national and local partners to get Wales back on track so that no child is denied access to a professional advocate,"" he said. He made 29 recommendations, suggested fundamental changes to national structures and stressed the importance of ensuring all children had equal access to these representatives. Mr Towler said: ""I should not be hearing of episodes where children had been denied access to an advocate and that assumptions had been made they would not benefit from a professional advocate as they were too young. ""During the course of this review we have heard of excellent practice but these pockets of good practice must now become the norm across Wales."" The review's key findings included a lack of clarity and consistency about the way services are commissioned; a lack of strategic leadership by the Welsh government to make sure eligible children and young people have equal access; and there was no annual or systematic monitoring inspection or regulation of the service. A Welsh government spokesman said it had issued ""clear guidance"" for local authorities on providing independent, effective and accessible advocacy services. ""We are one of only a handful of countries to have embedded children's rights into our domestic law. Advocacy sits firmly within children's rights as a way for children and young people to be heard when they want someone on their side, someone to help them be safe, to participate and to have access to provisions.""

+"At present, people visit seven times a year on average, industry analysts CACI have said. It forecasts that contact with banks will rise - but primarily through apps, with desktop banking also shrinking. Hundreds of branches have closed in the UK in recent years, with banks pointing to changing consumer habits. Although the number of visits to banks may be falling, the proportion of those who use a branch, however infrequently, is relatively unchanged. This has prompted a warning from the forecasters that the public still see branches as having a role to play. On Tuesday, the industry marked the 50th anniversary of the first cash machine, and many ATM manufacturers claim that new technology allows the most up-to-date machines to carry out 90% of all tasks conducted in a branch. The latest CACI figures, which are used by the banking industry, estimate that banking app transactions - such as balance checks and payments - will more than double in the next five years. These will not be simply be tasks that had been carried out in branches. Many customers - primarily high-income professionals - will shift from banking via computers, it claims. Interactions made using a laptop or desktop will decrease by 63% between 2017 and 2022, it estimates. All these shifts are happening faster than five-year forecasts made a year ago. ""The speed and convenience of mobile banking is a huge contributing factor to its ongoing popularity, especially as banks add more and more functionality to their apps. Understanding who is using it, and how, is key for banks to ensure it works for everyone,"" said Jamie Morawiec, associate partner at CACI. ""However, with more than half of the population still expected to visit a branch in 2022, the branch still has an important role to play.

+"One key test will be to prove they can manage any sudden slowdown in foreign interest in UK assets. The banks will have to show they have sufficient resources in place to cope with any shocks. The seven major lenders taking part are Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, RBS, Santander UK, Standard Chartered and Nationwide. Last year, RBS had to bolster its finances by about ?¡ê2bn after failing the last stress test. The vote by the UK last year to leave the EU triggered a sharp drop in the value of the pound. Setting out the stress test scenarios, the Bank of England said: ""As highlighted in recent financial stability reports, the United Kingdom's large current account deficit creates a vulnerability to a reduction in foreign investor appetite for UK assets and increases in funding costs for real-economy borrowers."" The background against which it wants banks to test themselves includes ""a sudden increase in the rate of return investors demand for holding sterling assets [which would mean higher interest rates on government bonds] and an associated fall in sterling"". Under its annual cyclical scenario, banks must show they can cope with a recession in the global economy and in the UK, interest rates peaking at 4%, and with house prices falling by a third. The Bank's key interest rates currently stands at 0.25%. Lenders have also been set a biennial ""exploratory"" scenario, which assumes ""severe and synchronised"" stress to the UK and global economy.

+"Lithuania and Poland both issued statements of concern. Russia has not confirmed the report but insists it has every right to station missiles in its western-most region. Moscow has long threatened to move Iskander short-range missile systems to Kaliningrad in response to the United States' own European missile shield. Russia sees the missile shield as a threat to its nuclear deterrent. It was one of the biggest sources of confrontation between Moscow and Washington during the presidencies of George W Bush and Vladimir Putin. President Barack Obama tried to ""reset"" relations with Russia,  and the shield system was revised - but it survived in a different form and continued to antagonise Russia. The US insists that the missile shield is not aimed at Russia but designed to defend Europe from attack from ""rogue states"" - assumed to include Iran. A Russian defence ministry spokesman, Igor Konashenkov, did not confirm the report - in the German newspaper Bild - that the Iskander system had been deployed to Kaliningrad. But he did say: ""Iskander operational-tactical missile systems have indeed been commissioned by the Western Military District's missile and artillery forces,"" adding that Russia's deployment ""does not violate any international treaties or agreements"". The Western Military District includes parts of western and north-western Russia, including the Kaliningrad exclave, which is separated from Russia proper and wedged between Poland, Lithuania, and the Baltic Sea. The Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on Monday that the missiles had already been stationed in the area for more than a year.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said Mr Comey's recommendation proves Mrs Clinton is ""living above the law"" and questioned whether she should be briefed on classified information as a presidential candidate.

""No reasonable prosecutor would bring this case,"" FBI Director James Comey said of his recommendation that Hillary Clinton not charged for her use of a private email server.

It certainly had Republicans up in arms, expressing incredulity at Comey's assertions that Mrs Clinton set up her server for ""convenience"" and that she did not instruct her lawyers to permanently delete all her emails they deemed personal.

Mr Comey said that this was a matter previously outside his purvey.

+"He last played in anger more than 30 years ago. Maybe the only time you have seen him is as part of a Fifa Ultimate Team. A punchy 94 overall rating by the way. So why the fuss over Johan Cruyff? Before Cruyff, players used to just run straight into each other and hope for the best. Well, not quite. But when the Dutchman left Sweden's Jan Olsson staggering like a closing-time drunk in the 1974 World Cup, no-one had seen anything like it. A dropped shoulder, a dummied pass, a flick off the instep, swivel and away. It makes little sense written down. But watch the video and you'll recognise it instantly. The 'Cruyff turn' is now a standard in every playground fancy-dan's box of tricks, and it all started with this man. Media playback is not supported on this device Where do you play? An easy question. But there were no easy answers when you were part of the Netherlands' 1974 World Cup squad. The orange shirts would endlessly bomb forward, cover back, switch wings and swap positions, creating space and causing havoc. Stick with your man? Good luck with that. After winning everything going in the Netherlands with Ajax, Barcelona bought Cruyff for a then world record fee of ¡ê922,000. Cheap at twice the price. As a player, he won one La Liga title at the Nou Camp. He returned as a manager to win another four. And a European Cup. But his greatest legacy is not in the trophy cabinet. It is La Masia. Before Cruyff took charge, Barcelona's academy concentrated on strength and fitness. He put the ball at the centre of everything and the small-but-beautiful generation  of Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi emerged. As Pep Guardiola said: ""Johan Cruyff painted the chapel. Barcelona coaches since merely restore or improve it."" Media playback is not supported on this device Last month, a Barcelona penalty sent ripples through soccer, social media and the world at large. Instead of shooting at goal in the 6-1 win over Celta Viga, Messi cheekily rolled the ball sideways off the spot for team-mate Luis Suarez to smash home. A true original? Nope, another riff on the Cruyff playbook. Back in 1982, Cruyff and team-mate Jesper Olsen did the same for Ajax. But better. After controlling Cruyff's pass off the spot, Olsen drew the keeper and rolled it back for the original penalty-taker to slot into an empty net. Might Messi and Suarez have been paying tribute to Cruyff with their recreation? Before David Beckham aped Michael Jordan with number 23, before Mario Balotelli used 45 (4+5) as a shortcut to number nine, Johan Cruyff was the first superstar to stray from the usual one to 11 shirt numbers. The Dutchman took to wearing 14 for good luck after an Ajax win over rivals PSV Eindhoven. He was allowed to keep it on international duty when an alphabetical system would have seen him play in number one. In the wake of his death, financial traders paid tribute by placing orders for 14 shares in his former club Ajax. It rose 4% in value on the back of their purchases. And the shirt shenanigans didn't stop with Cruyff senior. With the Cruyff name weighing heavily, Johan's son Jordi, now sports director at Israeli club Maccabi Tel-Aviv, used his first name instead on his shirt.

The report alleged that Venezuelan Vice-President Tareck El Aissami was directly linked to the granting of 173 passports, including to members of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is designated a terrorist group by the US and other Western powers. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez gave a news conference on Wednesday in which she dismissed the allegations. She accused the whistleblower behind them of being an ""agent in the service of international intelligence agencies"" and of having links to Venezuelan opposition groups. The ban on the US news channel comes at a time of rising tension between the United States and Venezuela. On Monday, the US treasury department sanctioned Vice-President El Aissami for allegedly trafficking drugs. In its statement, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) described him as a drug ""kingpin"" who worked with traffickers in Mexico and Colombia to ship drugs to the US.

+"The UK-based Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) said it assisted in the removal of 31,266 pages last year, compared with 13,182 in 2013. It said in many cases, each address contained more than one photo or video. The figures do not necessarily indicate that illegal activity is increasing. Instead, they may simply reflect that the charity recently began taking a proactive approach, seeking out child abuse imagery rather than just acting on others' reports. It was able to do this after the UK's four biggest internet service providers committed an extra ?¡ê1m over four years to fund its efforts. If the material is hosted overseas, the organisation notifies local authorities and then chases up complaints until the material is removed. ""Our ability to actively seek out child sexual abuse imagery created a significant step-change in the effectiveness of the IWF,"" said chief executive Susie Hargreaves. The body's annual report says: The IWF said image-hosting platforms that create a specific web address link when a file is uploaded were the most common type of misused service it had encountered, accounting for about 63% of the offending pages detected. Such systems typically create what appears to be a random string of numbers and digits as the address, making it harder to trace those sharing extreme material. One expert suggested this might have contributed to their appeal. ""The paedophiles are looking for ways to make it more difficult for law enforcement to detect them sharing child abuse imagery,"" said Prof Alan Woodward, who advises Europol on the issue. ""There is a lot of research being done on automatically detecting the images themselves and what keywords to look for in related text. ""But if the paedophiles are sharing what is effectively a signpost - written in code that is in no way related to the nature of material linked to online - then there is much less chance of identifying either those sharing such extreme material or where it is located, in order that it can be removed."" The web has any number of photo-sharing, or ""image hosting"" sites. They are legal, mostly free and easy to use. Register, log on, upload and you have your own private collection of images. Only people you select can view them and only once you've sent them a link.  No one else will know what is in your collection. The link is just a line of code that reveals nothing. And that is where the problem lies. Paedophiles are becoming increasingly aware that known images of abuse can be tracked and traced if shared conventionally: each image has a unique hash value that can trigger red flags for both email providers and law enforcement. A line of code or URL directing a user to a private collection on an ""image hosting"" site is anonymous and triggers no alerts. The IWF figures seem to back up the theory that paedophiles are increasingly turning to these sites. In 2013 analysts found 5,594 such URLs - a figure that had risen to 19,710 by the following year. Indeed, that accounts for almost two thirds of all links to obscene material identified by the IWF.

+"In the North Korean world of multiple and complex military job titles, Mr Hyon has held a great variety of them. But it was in 2010 that he was promoted to the rank of four-star general and on exactly the same day as Kim Jong-un was promoted. That military promotion list was the North Korean leader's major public debut, a sign that he was the anointed one. Very little is really known about his fellow general Mr Hyon, but one clear sign of his growing influence in the final years of Kim Jong-il's rule was that he served on the committee for Kim Jong-il's funeral in December 2011. He rose to sudden prominence when he replaced the powerful former army chief, Ri Yong-ho in the summer of 2012.  Analysts said at the time that the reshuffle appeared to be an attempt by Kim Jong-un to stamp his authority on the army. But it is unclear exactly why Mr Hyon has now been purged like this, as he only made the transition into this position of defence minister in June 2014. Since then, there has been little coverage that would suggest a trajectory out of the ordinary and there is little in his background that provide clues to his downfall. According to DPRK state media, Hyon Yong-chol was born in January 1949 in North Hamgyo'ng Province and joined the military in March 1966. He served in the army's ground forces, been a battalion commander and brigade commander, according to North Korea analyst Michael Madden. His political career began with his election as deputy a (delegate) to the 12th Supreme People's Assembly in 2009.  After his name appeared on the four star general promotions list in 2010, he was elected a member of the Korean Workers' Party central committee at the so-called 3rd Party Conference. He is one of the cast of figures who attended the numerous military inspections with Kim Jong Un and some analysts saw him as a close military adviser. In June 2014 Hyon Yong-chol was appointed Minister of the People's Armed Forces and a member of North Korea's influential National Defense Commission.

Police said the 57-year-old woman had been holding on to the fence before the force of the jet engines threw her backwards, causing serious injury. She was taken to hospital for treatment, but died later. The particular stretch of beach on the Dutch territory is popular with tourists, partly because the planes fly extremely low over the sand before landing. The beginning of the runway is just 50m (160ft) from the fence on Maho beach, and about the same distance to the waterline. What is a jet engine air blast like? There are prominent warning signs in the area instructing beachgoers not to stand near the fence because of the dangerous air blasts. Despite the danger, a number of videos circulating online show tourists clinging to the fence to prevent being swept away - and in some cases, almost being lifted off the ground. The island's tourism director, Rolando Brison, told the New Zealand Herald he had spoken to the family of the dead woman. ""I met with the family of the deceased this evening and while they recognised that what they did was wrong, through the clearly visible danger signs, they regret that risk they took turned out in the worst possible way,"" he said.

+"Londoner DeGale, Olympic champion in 2008, put Dirrell on the canvas in the second round with a devastating left. American Dirrell, 31, made a remarkable recovery and landed shots on a tiring DeGale as the match went on. But a late flurry by DeGale, 29, secured a unanimous decision. American judge Daniel Fitzgerald and British judge Howard Foster both scored the fight 114-112, while Canadian Alan Davis scored it 117-109. ""It's an unbelievable feeling, I'm world champ - I made history,"" said DeGale, who improves to 21 wins (14 KOs) and one defeat in the paid ranks. ""I will take on any super-middleweight in the world. There's no other super-middleweight that would beat me on my day."" DeGale's victory could lead to a rematch with bitter domestic rival George Groves, who is set to fight Sweden's Badou Jack for the WBC title later this year. Groves, who was knocked out by Nottingham's former world champion Carl Froch in 2013 and again in 2014, beat DeGale on points in 2011. Many good judges predicted a dull fight for the belt vacated by Froch earlier this year, what with both men being southpaws and back-foot boxers. And the pre-fight omens were not good, with the fight taking place at 4:30pm local time for the benefit of American television and in front of a sparse crowd at the Agganis Arena. However, DeGale forced the pace in the first round and floored Dirrell with a cuffing overhand left towards the end of the second before the American touched down again. With a 10-7 round in the bag, DeGale looked to press home his advantage in the third. But Dirrell, whose heart was questioned by Froch during the build-up, stayed largely out of range and managed to clear his head. Thereafter Dirrell appeared to take control of the fight as DeGale seemed content to protect his lead, staying on the outside and throwing punches sparingly. However, many of the rounds were difficult to score, meaning neither man would have felt secure heading down the stretch. But it was DeGale who finished with the greater urgency, upping his work-rate in the final two rounds and doing enough to earn his place in the history books. DeGale becomes the sixth current world champion from the United Kingdom, which could become eight when lightweight Kevin Mitchell and featherweight Lee Selby fight for world titles in London next Saturday.",James DeGale beat Andre Dirrell on points to claim the vacant IBF super - middleweight belt in Boston and become the first Briton to win Olympic gold and a @placeholder world title .,significant,convincing,professional,thrilling,second
+"The head of the assembly said the law was a ""powerful instrument to stifle violence, hatred and intolerance"". More than 120 people have been killed in the violence since anti-government protests began sweeping through the country on 1 April. The government blames right-wing ""terrorists"" but the UN suggests dozens were killed by the security forces. The law was passed unanimously by the constituent assembly, a body convened by President Nicol¨¢s Maduro. The assembly has deeply divided Venezuelans, many of whom see it as a way for the president to expand his power and sideline the opposition-controlled legislative. It has also been condemned by international leaders and by the Pope, who urged President Maduro not to inaugurate it. President Maduro said the constituent assembly would promote peace by bringing different sectors of society together to rewrite the constitution. But since its 545 members were sworn in on Saturday, the political situation has swiftly deteriorated. While it was ostensibly created to rewrite the constitution, the new body has taken a series of decisions unrelated to the constitution. One of its first moves was to sack chief prosecutor Luisa Ortega, who in recent months has become a vocal critic of the government. It also passed a decree prohibiting the opposition-controlled legislative from taking any action that would interfere with laws passed by the new constituent assembly. The decisions were taken unanimously, bolstering the opposition's claim that the constituent assembly is made up entirely of government loyalists. The newly created truth commission will be lead by Delcy Rodr¨ªguez, who also heads the constituent assembly. Ms Rodr¨ªguez said the commission would investigate ""acts of violence carried out with political motives or out of intolerance"". The government has blamed ""right-wing terrorists"" for the violence at recent protests. But according to analysis by a UN Human Rights team, the ""security forces are allegedly responsible for 46 deaths, while pro-government armed groups (...) are reportedly for another 27 of the deaths"" out of 124 under investigation. The UN team said it was ""unclear who the perpetrators in the remaining deaths may be"". Ms Rodr¨ªguez said there would be ""an end to impunity"" with the new truth commission. Opposition leaders have taken this as a thinly veiled warning that there will be a further crackdown on those criticising the government. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court sentenced an opposition mayor, Ram¨®n Muchacho, to 15 months in jail for failing to prevent roads in his neighbourhood being blocked by protesters. Another opposition mayor, David Smolansky, is due to appear in court later on Wednesday on similar charges.","Venezuela 's @placeholder constituent assembly has passed a law creating a "" truth commission "" .",controversial,legislative,conservative,limited,supreme
+"That's the theory of a hackathon. To find out how they work, I enter one held during Music Tech Fest, which is on tour in Boston. The event is dedicated to music technology, my favourite topic. On Saturday, I arrive at Microsoft's New England Research and Development Center (yes, the Nerd Center) and at half past one, it's time to start - hackathon organiser Adam John Williams energetically shouts ""go"". You wouldn't know it, though - people are just sitting and chatting. Where's the intensity? Where's the urgency? It feels like someone's bought a whole load of ingredients for a cake, but no recipes. Some people have, however, come here with ideas in mind. For example, Sean Manton, a gifted musician, biomedical researcher, coder and fire dancer. He would like to use his dragon staff - a pole that he spins - to control music playback-speed during a performance. Physical designer Elio Icaza Milson has agreed to help Sean 3D-print a holder for a micro-sensor. The sensor should detect rotation speed and send data wirelessly to a computer - assuming it can be attached to the staff. It's all quite fun. But I don't have any ideas yet, so I help MJ, a pan-piping beatboxer, record a track. Ten hours in, we move to a TV studio up the road for the overnight segment. RedStar Union is a cool venue with a stage, musicians and a room full of kit to stream music content live on the web. Tonight it's rammed with Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets and computers in the front room, and hackers and kit wherever we can fit. It's a pretty intensive experience, and not without some mischief. After being cooped up in a small room for most of the evening, we decide to storm the stage for some very loud creative idea exchanges. One of my stage cohorts is CJ Carr, another musician and hacker specialising in machine-generated music and music therapy. He's making what he's calling a Hexadecipus - a 16-legged music controller made from a playable painting. It's about 3am, so I compose some music for the Hexadecipus. It's in 17/4 time signature... because it has 16 legs and a head. At 4am I ask Music Tech Fest founder Michela Magas why people take part in hackathons. She says it is an opportunity to ""collide with another wonderful mind who has been researching something different from you - you two might find synergies and something magical might happen"". It's fun collaborating amid the chaos. We are hacking, playing, colouring and occasionally breakdancing through the night. There are also horrible potato crisps that I keep eating to make sure they're horrible. Sean's flatmate has brought his piano in amid the music and wires and crisps and caffeine - and there's not a single spare plug socket in sight. I'm having a great time. I wonder whether staying up all night lowers barriers to creativity, or just makes us go a little crazy. At around 8.30am (19 hours in) inspiration strikes over breakfast when I say a doughnut tastes of D major. For the first time in my life, people hear that and think: data set. So, they ask a few more questions and we eat a few more doughnuts. I don't normally talk about my synaesthesia, but one of the connections is that is I hear music when I eat things. Synaesthesia is where the senses are mixed together - for example seeing colour when listening to music - or tasting food and hearing chords. Developers Alex Dorsk and Danny Kirschner are fascinated by this, and together we have the idea to make an app that pairs music with food. Alex uses Balsamiq, a sketching program to help us imagine the app layout and what we'd like it to do. Dan works on the actual mechanics of the app on a program called Ruby on Rails. Meanwhile I am working out which data the user needs to enter and what the app needs to return - basically how the app and the user will ultimately interact. It feels fantastic to hack through the night - though that could be the sleep deprivation. We finish the first draft just in time, so it's back to the Nerd Center to present our idea, which we've called SoundBites. Thirty hours in and full of coffee, we present our app along with doughnuts for the audience to eat at the same time as us. Our sugar bribe helps the presentation go down well. Sean's dragon staff also works - the faster he spins it, the faster the music plays. And CJ's Hexadecipus controller is also a triumph, playing musical snippets determined by the colour pressed. They each win the prize in their category, and to top it all, our team wins the prize in the synaesthesia category! Alex, Dan and I are continuing to work on the app together on collaborative coding site GitHub - which I guess means I'm now a fully-fledged music hacker. After a few final hours going out dancing to celebrate our respective wins, I finally fall to sleep after a mere 40 hours on the go. Not bad for my first (and definitely not last!) hackathon.","Stick a bunch of people in a room with pizza , caffeine and a whole load of kit , wait 24 hours and something interesting @placeholder .",loves,emerges,dominate,occurs,existed
+"Steven Dunne, 42, failed to return to Southview Low Secure Unit, Hellingly, at 17:00 BST on Wednesday. After a police appeal on Saturday, Dunne later went into Bootle Street police station in Manchester, where he is in custody. Dunne will return to hospital under a higher level of security. Earlier, in their appeal, Sussex Police had said they believed he had gone to Manchester because he had family links in the city. In November 2010, Dunne admitted the manslaughter of Gordon Stalker, 51, on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was detained indefinitely. Sussex Police said the level of security he was originally detained under was approved by the Ministry of Justice. After Dunne handed himself in, Lisa Rodrigues, chief executive of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, said: ""We were concerned for Mr Dunne's welfare and we worked closely with Sussex Police throughout their investigation."" The NHS trust had said Dunne posed a ""low risk"" after he was reported missing. During the court case, Dunne, formerly of Chates Farm Court, Brighton, told Lewes Crown Court he believed Mr Stalker was controlling his mind and he could only be freed by killing him. The pair were neighbours in a shared house in Elm Grove, Brighton, where they were friends and often socialised together. But Dunne's mental health deteriorated and he began to believe that Mr Stalker was a witch who had captured his soul. He stabbed Mr Stalker repeatedly in their communal hallway.

+"Avon and Somerset chief Nick Gargan has been told to quit by his Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Sue Mountstevens. MP Charlotte Leslie said Mr Gargan had been tried in a ""media court"". The PCC's office said Mr Gargan had lost the confidence of the force at ""all levels"". Ms Leslie, MP for Bristol North West, is one of several local MPs to raise concerns about the investigation and the decision by the PCC to ""call upon"" him to resign, which effectively means he has to go. The Conservative MP for Bridgwater, Ian Liddell-Grainger, likened the process to a ""witch hunt"" and said Mr Gargan had been ""pilloried"", after an independent misconduct panel recommended he keep his job. North East Somerset MP Jacob Rees Mogg has also criticised the process. Mr Gargan was suspended in May last year, amid allegations of inappropriate conduct towards female staff. An IPCC investigation found those allegations were not proven, but that he had ""repeatedly breached data protection principles"" and had stored ""intimate"" material on his police-issue phone. Ms Leslie, Mr Gargan's local MP, told the BBC she was concerned about the precedent set for future chief constables. ""I also have deep concerns over the way misleading accusations have been broadcast in the press while Mr Gargan has had no ability to defend himself during that process,"" she said. ""The whole case has been taken out of objective scrutiny and investigation and into a media court."" However, other local Conservative MPs, including Somerset MPs David Warburton, Rebecca Pow and James Heappey have backed Ms Mountstevens. Mr Heappey said in August: ""It is apparent that he no longer has the confidence of the men and women in his command, and both the complaints against him and the cost of the proceedings have outraged many of my constituents.""

+"The missile, which did not contain explosives, had been shipped to Spain for a Nato training exercise, the Wall Street Journal said. It was then taken to Germany and eventually to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris for onward delivery to Florida. It was instead loaded on to an Air France flight to Havana.

""Cuba acted with seriousness and transparency and co-operated to find a satisfactory solution to this issue,"" it added.

""We've made good progress this quarter,"" said chief executive Jamie Dimon in a statement. ""We are also on target to deliver on our expense commitments."" The fall in revenue was mainly due to a drop money made from mortgage banking and fixed-income trading.

Analysts had expected the firm's profits to be weak, reflecting pressures on trading and worries about the global economy.

The 530ft (162m) tower is being built with help from Brighton and Hove City Council. It is hoped the ¡ê46.2m structure will be finished by summer 2016. Brighton i360 chief executive Eleanor Harris said: ""We've been on site now for about six months. ""The first thing that we did was remove the route end of the West Pier. That was painstakingly removed to make sure that any bits that can be reused in our construction will be. ""The next thing that we've been doing has been moving a Victorian sewer that runs underneath our site, that is still a working sewer. ""Of course we couldn't have the sewer clashing with our foundations that are going to hold up the tower."" The new pipe will be connected to the existing sewer system in December. Construction of the tower, which has been dubbed ""son of the London Eye"" by by architect David Marks, started in July following years of funding problems.

+"There have so far been three attempts to solve the long-running dispute. Competition commissioner Joaquin Almunia told a European parliamentary committee that the next logical step would be to issue a statement of objection, including formal charges. Google said that it continued to work with the EU. The company is accused of abusing its dominant position in Europe, where it accounts for 90% of search traffic. The dispute has been running since 2010 when rivals, including British price-comparison site Foundem, complained about the way it displayed results. The deal suggested by Google in February was rejected after 20 formal complaints made the EU rethink its original decision to accept the proposals. Under the terms of the deal, Google agreed to reserve space near the top of its European search pages for competitors, which would be open to rivals to bid for via an auction. Rivals argued that Google's solution was unfair for a range of reasons, including the fact that Google would make money out of the changes. ""At the beginning of the month I have communicated this to the company asking them to improve these proposals,"" said Mr Almunia. ""We now need to see if Google can address these issues and allay our concerns."" He did not put a timeframe on the new proposals but acknowledged that it could be left up to the next Commission headed by Jean-Claude Juncker to sort out. Mr Almunia steps down in October. But, he warned, if the next set of proposals failed to impress, the next stage would be a fine. ""The next logical step is to issue a statement of objection,"" he said. EU rules mean that a company falling foul of anti-trust laws can be fined up to 10% of its annual sales. Last year, Google's annual sales amounted to $55.5bn (?¡ê33.8bn). For its part, Google seemed in no mind to appease the EU.

+"Banks such as Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) are increasingly using chatbots to answer customer queries. The report examined the views of 600 bankers and other experts. Many, perhaps ironically, felt that AI would help banks create a more human-like customer experience. ""The big paradox here is that people think technology will lead to banking becoming more and more automated and less and less personalised, but what we've seen coming through here is the view that technology will actually help banking become a lot more personalised,"" said Alan McIntyre, head of the Accenture's banking practice and co-author of the report, Banking Technology Vision 2017. ""(It) will give people the impression that the bank knows them a lot better, and in many ways it will take banking back to the feeling that people had when there were more human interactions."" A similar report conducted by Accenture, looking at consumer attitudes to banking, suggests that customers too are willing to embrace AI. ""With things like Netflix, customers are used to smart AI offering advice in the background and we found consumers are surprisingly willing to accept robotic advice about banking products,"" Mr McIntyre told the BBC. In future he envisages banking will be made much simpler - with people able to conduct transactions on social media platforms such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. Accenture is currently working with a number of UK banks to allow customers to interact with their banks - get balance information and transfer money - via Amazon's smart home speaker Alexa. He also imagines how banks could use systems such as Alexa to transcribe conversations with customers to cut down on ""form-filling"". ""Rather than sit down and log on to a website, people want to interact naturally,"" said Mr McIntyre. The vast majority of customers, according to Accenture, want both easy digital interactions and the ability to speak to a human. ""People want a dialogue and as AI is more and more able to replicate that, so it doesn't feel like speaking to a machine,"" he said. RBS and NatWest began testing an AI customer service chatbot, dubbed Assist, in December and in Sweden, Swedbank's Nina web assistant now has an average of 30,000 conversations per month and can handle more than 350 different customer questions.","Artificial intelligence will be the main way that banks interact with their customers within the next three years , a report from @placeholder Accenture has suggested .",royal,consultancy,personal,major,american

+"A new report  by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA)  has found that automation in the next generation could transform the shape of the Australian workforce. The tide of technological change can't be resisted,  but should be seen as a boon for the economy, it is argued. Robots and automation could eventually replace everything from some nursing and surgical jobs to meal preparation, driving and washing elderly patients. In some parts of rural and regional Australia more than 60% of jobs could be lost, said CEDA Chief Executive Professor Stephen Martin. ""The pace of technological advancement in the last 20 years has been unprecedented and that pace is likely to continue for the next 20 years,"" he said. A more radical suggestion proffered in the report is the idea that robots could ""offer support for lonely people"". If that seems hard to believe,  just 10 years ago no-one thought there would be a car that drove itself. Google has now designed such a car, which has driven around California without any accidents - except when a human driving another car rear-ended the robotic vehicle. That development alone could dramatically change the Australian workforce where about 25% of all jobs involve driving a car, van, or truck. Other jobs that could disappear include cytologists who screen calls from patients for signs of cancer and any job that requires routine measurement or pattern recognition. We might even start growing trees in particular shapes so that robots can pick the fruit. Machine-learning algorithms are already taking a larger share of skilled jobs such as legal clerks, market research and sales, and credit-risk assessments. It is vision of the future that isn't all shiny and bright. The report concludes that while Australia is ""uniquely placed"" to benefit from digital disruption because of the strength of its service industry and education system, and its proximity to Asia's growing digital markets, Australia will only be able to successfully deal with the disruption technology will bring to the workplace if it is ""embedded in the DNA of society"".",Almost 40 % of Australian jobs that exist today could disappear in the next 10 to 15 years @placeholder to advances in digital technology .,thanks,promises,opportunities,prior,welcome

+"Only Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku were able to break the duopoly. Almost 125,000 people picked their team over the weekend from a shortlist of 100 players. You picked nine of the players who made BBC pundit Garth Crooks' team of the season. But why are they playing 4-4-2? Why was Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho unlucky to miss out? Who was picked most often? Who received the fewest nominations? Let's take a look at the data. A three-man defence may have been the most talked-about tactical tweak of the season but BBC Sport readers are more Mike Bassett than Antonio Conte. The most popular of the 12 possible formations picked was the trusty 4-4-2, accounting for 52% of teams. And, with 73% of users selecting a formation with four defenders, and 65% picking a team with two forwards, that's the way our team have to line up. Of the 10 goalkeepers available to choose from, De Gea was the clear choice, being selected in 30% of all teams. He was the 12th most-popular selection overall, but we cannot justify putting the 11th - Coutinho - in goal, so De Gea gets the nod. Thibaut Courtois was the next most-popular keeper, with Sunderland's Jordan Pickford ahead of Hugo Lloris of Tottenham. Thirteen goalkeepers made more saves than De Gea this season (74) but the Spaniard can boast a 72% save percentage. Burnley's Tom Heaton made the most saves all season (141), but he was picked by just 11% of you. Four defenders were a distance clear of the pack - Chelsea trio David Luiz, Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta joined by Tottenham centre-back Toby Alderweireld. Alonso has played most of the season as a wing-back, with Azpilicueta in a back three, but they were most often picked at full-back. Alderweireld was picked in 58% of teams, more than 12% more than any other defender. He is one of five players to appear in more than half the teams picked. Azpilicueta was the only player to play in all 30 of Chelsea's league wins this season, keeping the most clean sheets (16) into the bargain. Spurs full-back Kyle Walker was the fifth most-popular defender but still misses out by a large margin. In a midfield four, three of the selections were obvious. Tottenham's Dele Alli was the most-selected player in any position, with 77% of teams containing the England man. An overwhelming majority picked him in midfield and not attack. Alli scored more goals (18) than any other midfielder this season. Chelsea duo Eden Hazard and player of the year N'Golo Kante were not far behind, with the Belgian making 72% of the teams and Kante 70%. Hazard's selections were split between midfield and attack, but only 20% of people played him in a front three, so he plays on the wing. Yes, Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez would have a bit of settling-in to do on the right wing - and his selection is problematic. Coutinho was the fourth most-selected midfielder, but Sanchez was the ninth most-selected player overall, chosen in 7% more teams than the Liverpool man. He has to play somewhere. Confused? Well BBC Sport users picked Sanchez across midfield and attack, and with a 4-4-2 formation already decided, the Chilean is doing a job wide right. From a statistical point of view, Manchester City man Kevin de Bruyne may consider himself unlucky to miss out. The Belgian had more assists (18) and created more big chances (24) than any other midfielder, but only made it into 24% of teams. He was the sixth most-popular midfielder, just behind another unfortunate player, Spurs' Christian Eriksen. He scored seven goals in the last four days of the season, 29 in total in the league including four hat-tricks, and was picked by 77% of users. Harry Kane was a shoo-in. In fact it may be easier to ask who the 23% who left him out were. Kane was in more than double the teams featuring Lukaku, who was still a long way clear of Sanchez, the third most-popular forward. Sergio Aguero scored more goals in all competitions (33) this season than before for Manchester City, but made just 9% of teams. He was only the seventh most-popular forward. Fewer than 1% of readers picked versatile West Ham duo Michail Antonio and Manuel Lanzini in attack, while Middlesbrough forward Alvaro Negredo has the dishonour of being the least selected player from the 100-man list.",Chelsea and Tottenham were the two outstanding teams in the Premier League in 2016 - 17 - and it 's no surprise players from the two London clubs @placeholder the team of the season picked by BBC Sport users .,dominate,enjoying,negotiated,won,are

+"The referendum was triggered by the Eurosceptic movement which used a new law designed to promote democracy to force a vote by gathering enough signatures on a petition. From the start, activists said this was a chance for voters in the country to express frustration at the EU, in particular what they see as its desire to expand despite democratic shortcomings. Although the turnout was only narrowly above the 30%  required to validate the result it has been hailed as a significant Eurosceptic victory. One ""No"" campaigner at a results party in Amsterdam described it as a ""slap in the face of the European monster"". In the UK Brexit activists were quick to claim the result showed anti-EU sentiment is growing despite the fact two-thirds of Dutch voters chose not to participate. While a vote in the Netherlands may not widely shape public opinion in the UK, it will embolden those campaigning for the UK to leave the EU. They will argue this result proves public concern over sovereignty and accountability is shared beyond Britain. But Netherlands voters were not asked to simply pass judgement on the EU, and throughout the campaign those promoting a ""Yes"" vote were frustrated by what they saw as attempts by Eurosceptics to hijack a debate which should have been about relations between Ukraine, Russia and Europe. Some say the multiple layers to this referendum means the result cannot be seen as a true reflection of the scale of euroscepticism in the Netherlands. Nonetheless the country is traditionally a stronghold of European integration, and the rejection of this deal will rattle the nerves of European leaders who are already struggling to maintain unity in the face of economic instability and the migrant crisis. The impact of this on the Ukraine agreement is not yet clear. Although the referendum was not binding, Prime Minister Mark Rutte signalled the result would not be ignored and he would now open discussions with EU leaders about how to proceed. Whatever the practical consequences, this referendum will be perceived and paraded by Eurosceptics as a symbol of growing support for their movement - pertinent timing as the UK prepares to decide its future relationship with the EU.","Although officially the Netherlands has rejected a landmark deal between the EU and Ukraine , in @placeholder the issues that dominated this campaign were much wider .",annual,opinion,comparison,reality,trouble
+"The Massachusetts team found shining a strobe light into rodents' eyes encouraged protective cells to gobble up the harmful proteins that accumulate in the brain in this type of dementia. The perfect rate of flashes was 40 per second - a barely perceptible flicker, four times as fast as a disco strobe. The researchers say the approach should be tested in humans. They are already seeking permission from the US regulator, the Food and Drugs Administration, and have set up a commercial company to develop the technology. Build-up of beta amyloid protein is one of the earliest changes seen in the brain in Alzheimer's disease. It clumps together to form sticky plaques and is thought to cause nerve cell death and memory loss. Researchers have been looking for ways to prevent plaque formation using drugs, but the results have been disappointing. But Dr Li-Huei Tsai and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology think they have found another way, using light. The mice that they studied were genetically engineered to have Alzheimer's-type damage in their brain, Nature journal reports. When the mice were put in front of the flashing light for an hour, it led to a noticeable reduction in beta amyloid over the next 12 to 24 hours in the parts of the brain that handle vision. Doing this every day for a week led to even greater reductions. Likewise, light stimulation direct to the part of the brain that deals with memory - the hippocampus - led to reductions of beta amyloid there. The researchers say the light works by recruiting the help of resident immune cells called microglia. Microglia are scavengers. They eat and clear harmful or threatening pathogens - in this instance, beta amyloid. It is hoped that clearing beta amyloid and stopping more plaques from forming could halt Alzheimer's and its symptoms. Dr Tsai said: ""We are optimistic."" The scientists say, in the future, people could wear special goggles or sit in front of a light-emitting device to get a therapeutic dose of the strobe light. For the patient, it should be entirely painless and non-invasive. ""We can use a very low intensity, very ambient soft light. ""You can hardly see the flicker itself. ""The set-up is not offensive at all,"" they said, stressing it should be safe and would not trigger epilepsy in people who were susceptible. Dr David Reynolds, of Alzheimer's Research, UK said: ""Studies like this are valuable in revealing new processes implicated in Alzheimer's disease and opening new avenues for further research.

Hearts were two goals up at the interval thanks to strikes by Arnaud Djoum and Sam Nicholson.

Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson preferred to savour the prospect of another match against their old foes rather than dwell on having been pegged back. ""In the second half we handed Hibs the initiative by not pressing as well as we should have, but it's a replay, it's another money-spinner for both teams and it's going to be another huge game,"" he said. ""It was a great game. It wasn't a pretty football match - it was competitive and I'm sure everyone enjoyed it.""

+"The Slovenians have enjoyed their recent visits to this part of the world, knocking Hibernian, Rangers and Celtic out of Europe. Can the Dons buck the trend in their third round Europa League qualifier, or will the Purples from Styria continue their good run of form? Marcos Tavares scored the vital away goal at Levski Sofia to set up a trip to Pittodrie and the Maribor captain will be a familiar name since the 32-year-old Brazilian featured against Hibs, Rangers and Celtic. Goalkeeper Jasmin Handanovic is another old hand, but defender Marko Suler and forward Damjan Bohar are the only other players in last week's line-up that were involved against Celtic in 2014. That triumph against Celtic took Maribor into the Champions League group phase for the second time, while the win over Rangers in 2011 started a sequence of three successive group campaigns in the Europa League. But Aberdeen fans should note that last season was not a great success for Slovenian's leading team since they were eliminated from Champions League qualifying by Astana, the Kazakh side with which Celtic are currently locking horns, and were beaten to their domestic title for the first time in five seasons. Hibs were simply blown away in the first leg of this third-round qualifier in the Europa League, with Josip Ilicic, who would later move to Palermo and Fiorentina, scoring twice and Tavares banging in a third. The visitors adopted a defensive strategy, leaving striker Derek Riordan and Anthony Stokes on the bench, but could do little to stem the slick Maribor attacks. Maribor quickly snuffed out any hopes of an unlikely Hibs comeback at Easter Road, with that man Tavares knocking in a header after 20 minutes. Edwin De Graaf scored a brace on his Hibs debut, either side of a Dejan Mezga penalty and another strike from Tavares. The first leg began well for Rangers in Slovenia, with a Kirk Broadfoot cross diverted in for an own goal, but Agim Ibraimi, now at Astana, fired past Allan McGregor seven minutes after the break. A fine second-half display from the hosts was rewarded with a clever back-heel finish from Atien Velikonja in stoppage-time. Handanovic, now 38, played a blinder at Ibrox as Rangers squandered several good chances, with Dalibor Volas plundering an away goal. Carlos Bocanegra levelled, but Handanovic made a series of late saves to see his side through. Reinstated to Champions League qualifying after Legia Warsaw fielded an ineligible player, Celtic looked on course to make the most of their good fortune when Callum McGregor scored early in Slovenia. The visitors were quickly pegged back by a well-taken Damjan Bohar equaliser, while Handanovic and opposite number Craig Gordon were kept busy in a game littered with goal-scoring chances. The pick of those opportunities fell to Virgil van Dijk, with the Celtic defender's header blocked on the goal-line by the face of team-mate Stefan Johansen. The return leg in Glasgow was a completely different story, with Celtic blunt in attack and Maribor dictating possession. Zeljko Filipovic, who moved to Belgian club Mechelen this summer, was stand-out in the middle of the park and Tavares again proved the danger man, forcing a shot past Gordon after 75 minutes. There were more heroics from Handanovic too, as the goalkeeper somehow kept out a stoppage-time shot from Van Dijk.",Maribor visit Aberdeen on Thursday evening looking to @placeholder a fourth Scottish team in six years .,overcome,defend,retain,enjoy,form

+"Mr Brown said the UK could take a lead in the EU to create jobs, cut energy bills and tackle tax havens. ""We should be a leader in Europe, not leaving it,"" he said, as he set out what he called a ""positive"" case for a Remain vote on 23 June. Vote Leave dismissed what it called a ""hastily cobbled together re-launch"". And Boris Johnson, one of its leading campaigners, said the Remain side was ""rattled"" with just 10 days to go until the referendum on the UK's future in the EU. In other campaign developments: The Remain campaign believes Labour voters are crucial to winning the referendum, but it is concerned that many may not turn out to vote - or may support Brexit. In a speech in Leicester, Mr Brown - whose late intervention in the Scottish independence referendum was considered an influential factor by some observers - sought to galvanise Labour support for the EU. He said action on the environment, cutting energy bills, enhancing workers' rights and social standards, and tackling tax havens were all best achieved by being inside the EU. And he argued the challenges of globalisation meant greater co-operation between countries was needed. This issue covers energy availability and environmental protections. ""That is going to be the lesson we have got to learn from this debate in this referendum - that the EU is not the cause of the problem, but if you can get co-operation working, the EU can be part of the solution to the problem,"" he said. Mr Brown said there was a need to ""show we can manage globalisation better"" and ""balance the autonomy that people want with the co-operation we need"", adding: ""That is what the EU is about."" He said the UK would be ""in pole position"" to champion change when it takes the rotating presidency of the EU in 2017, if it votes to stay in the EU.

That's why this afternoon, talking to interested members of the public - not all Labour voters but interested parties nonetheless - who had turned up to hear the former PM Gordon Brown speak, it was striking that unprompted many of them mentioned they thought he might ""do a Scotland"". Read more from Laura Mr Brown said Labour's agenda for Remain was a ""positive"" one, that showed ""the benefits that will come from staying part of the European Union"". ""It shows that the Labour Party can work at great strength when we all work together,"" he added. Ahead of his speech, he told BBC Radio 4's Today: ""The Labour voters that I talk to don't like the status quo... They want to know that they are going to be better off, and that's the message I can put."" He also defended current levels of immigration, and said fears over the impact on local communities would be better addressed by increasing investment in stretched public services than ending free movement rights. This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe. A study by think tank Migration Watch, that wants lower immigration, has forecast net migration would run at more than a quarter of a million a year for at least 20 years if Britain stayed in the EU. Mr Brown insisted ""illegal immigration"" was the biggest problem the UK faced, and said the only way to tackle it was from within the EU, with cross-border co-operation. Ex-Tory cabinet minister and Vote Leave campaigner Iain Duncan Smith said Labour was ""lecturing"" rather than listening to its own supporters over immigration. Traditional Labour voters were ""pretty disgusted"" with the party over its pro-EU stance, he said and added: ""The number one thing they want is migration brought under control and Labour has nothing to say on that matter."" At a separate event on Monday, shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn acknowledged there was widespread unease among many traditional Labour communities about the impact of immigration. But he warned: ""The truth is that leaving the EU is not going to stop immigration."" Labour MP and Vote Leave chairwoman Gisela Stuart said her party's voters ""have now seen through government spin and no amount of hastily cobbled together re-launches"" would change that.

The idea of extra cockpit head protection is to protect the driver from impacts with large flying debris such as wheels, or in other incidents when his head is vulnerable, such as if a car were to slide upside down along a barrier. A full test of the 'shield' will be conducted at the Italian Grand Prix on 1-3 September but the FIA wants to make an initial assessment as soon as possible - hence the Silverstone test.

+"The correspondence between Bohr and his then-fiancee Margrethe Norlund reveal a rocky settling in period in England. Excerpts of letters sent during Bohr's time in England were discussed at the American Physical Society meeting. The letters show an exchange rich with literary allegory. Bohr was eventually instrumental in overturning the ""plum pudding"" model of the atom, propounded by J J Thomson of Cambridge University, instead suggesting a dense nucleus orbited by electrons - the atom as we know it today. He came to Cambridge in 1911 specifically to work among the famous Cambridge mathematicians including Thomson. But the letters to Margrethe showed that his transition to Cambridge intellectual circles was turbulent. ""He thought 'Thomson was a genius who showed the way to everybody', and he wanted to be part of that story,"" said John Heilbron, a fellow of Oxford University. ""But when he got there, he found out that Thomson was busy showing the way to other people, and also following his own research,"" he told BBC News. ""James Jeans, another of the Cambridge mathematicians, was too shy to do battle with Bohr, and [Joseph] Larmora€| would not read Bohr until he prepared a proper English version of his work and had it published in a proper English journal - which never happened.

He hoped it could be worth many thousands of pounds to the perfume industry, although the value of ambergris is disputed. Dr Vera Thoss, of Bangor University, conducted tests over two days and said it was ""basically a lump of rubber"". Although unable to say exactly what the substance was, she said she believed it was probably a latex or runny rubber, which showed characteristics of being burned - possibly on a ship which caught fire. Mr Hughes found the substance while looking for fishing bait with a friend at Porth Dafarch, near Trearddur Bay earlier this month. But, after discovering the find was worthless, he said he could see the funny side of it. ""We weren't getting our hopes too high anyway because we're down to earth,"" he added.

However, Steve Pearce, a chartered biochemist and former president of both the British Society of Flavourists and British Society of Cosmetic Scientists, said there are many alternatives to the once-prized ambergris.

We have also launched new designs for our coverage from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as part of this process.  You can read more about the process behind the new designs here. Below we answer the most common questions relating to the new pages. Why have you made these changes? We are completing the process of switching BBC Sport over to a responsive design - this means pages adapt automatically to the screen size of the device you are looking at it on. This move will allow us to provide the same content irrespective of the device a user is looking at the site on, giving visitors the best experience no matter how they are looking at the site. What improvements are there in the new designs? The differences will be most apparent to visitors of the desktop site: the biggest being that, while previously many stories were shown as part of a list of headlines, now more of the content has an accompanying image and stories are more spaced out on the page. The new layouts are designed to take account of the wider screens used by desktop computers, allowing us to present a richer experience for you as you visit the main sport and football pages. They also feature new scores and league tables, designed to provide the same experience you can find in our coverage elsewhere on the site. Our Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland pages will also change, to reflect the new designs brought in elsewhere on BBC Sport in recent weeks. Has the content changed? No. We will still cover these sports in the same way. The new designs will ensure the same content is available on all devices, whereas previously some items only appeared on larger screens. What other parts of the site use new designs?

Omura's whales have a streamlined body shape and several unique skeletal features that distinguish them from other whales. ""This find is highly significant for whale scientists in Western Australia and researchers globally because there have not been many recorded sightings of this species, so very little is known about it,"" said Western Australia Environment Minister Albert Jacob.

After Mr Crane's death in 2014, Bristol Safeguarding Adults Board (BSAB) launched a serious case review. In a report presented at Flax Bourton Coroners' Court, the BSAB said he died because his mental health history was ""overlooked"" and his risky anti-social behaviour was not seen as a symptom of his psychiatric condition. The inquest heard Mr Crane had cooked on barbecues with liquid gas, because his gas and electricity supplies had been cut off. In the six months before his death, firefighters were called to his flat in Carolina House in Dove Street, Kingsdown, four times after neighbours reported he was lighting fires, the inquest heard. It was also told Mr Crane had been treated in hospital for a bipolar disorder, in 2012. The safeguarding report found Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health partnership (AWP) failed to see his ""risky and chaotic lifestyle"" was a symptom of his underlying mental disorder. AWP felt his anti-social behaviour was ""down to choice - rather than a symptom of his condition"", the report stated. Agencies lost sight of the fact that he had been detained under the Mental Health Act and was entitled to ongoing support, it said. Louise Lawton, independent chair of the BSAB, said: ""The findings of this review highlight a number of key things, particularly around how agencies recognise and deal with the complex issues of self-neglect and mental capacity.

The recent arrests of five journalists were particularly worrying, he said. They have been accused of taking part in an ""infiltration network linked to hostile Western governments"". The journalists - including Afarine Chitsaz, Ehssan Mazandarani, Saman Safarzai, and Issa Saharkhiz - were detained by plainclothes members of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence units on 2 November. More than a dozen other journalists and social media activists have also reportedly been summoned for interrogation by the Iranian authorities. ""The government of Iran should not silence critical or dissenting voices under the guise of vague and unsubstantiated national security concerns,"" Mr Shaheed said. Iran has international obligations to allow and protect the right to a free press and access to information, he stressed. David Kaye, the UN special rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, noted that the detention and harassment of journalists was increasing as February's parliamentary elections approached, in a repeat of the run-up to the 2013 polls. ""Public participation in any electoral process is virtually impossible if the media and civil society are so frequently affected by arrests and prosecution,"" Mr Kaye said. The UN experts urged Iran to release all journalists who have been arbitrarily and unlawfully arrested for their peaceful exercise of fundamental rights, including the Iranian-American Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian.

Mr Obama on Thursday said he took ""full responsibility"" for the operation, which was launched in the belief that the target was an al-Qaeda compound with no civilians present. The White House announced that two other US citizens - thought to be al-Qaeda members - were also killed in drone strikes. Ahmed Farouq was killed in the same raid that caused the deaths of Mr Weinstein and Mr Lo Porto, it said, and Adam Gadahn, once regarded as a spokesman for the militant group, was killed in a separate strike. The BBC has been told that the attack which killed the hostages took place on 15 January in the Dabar Miami area, in the Shawal region of North Waziristan. An al-Qaeda statement on 13 April confirmed Farouq's death but made no mention of the hostages, the BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad reports.","The deaths of two Western hostages in a US drone strike shows the "" risk and unintended consequences "" of using such a @placeholder , Pakistan has said .",fake,tool,device,tactic,means
+"Ralph Clarke, 101, from Birmingham, was jailed for 13 years in December. Peter Cooper, 96, of Minehead, Somerset, got three years in February. They argued old people should get special consideration at sentencing as a different class of offender. But judges disagreed, saying sentencing must be done on a case-by-case basis. Clarke, a former haulier from Erdington, is thought to be the oldest person convicted in British legal history. He was jailed for committing 30 child sex offences between 1974 and 1983. Updates on this and other stories in Birmingham Retired GP Peter Cooper was imprisoned for historical sex offences against a girl which began when she was six years old. At the Court of Appeal, their lawyers argued the sentence passed should be one where it could be reasonably expected that the offender will serve the required custodial period. If this was not the case, the jail term was more like a life sentence when the offender had not been sentenced in that way. They wanted the court to treat old people as if they were terminally ill and suggested they were seen as a special class of offender - like those under 18 and the mentally disordered - who are subject to special consideration at sentencing. Refusing their appeals, five judges, led by Lady Justice Hallett, said working on a case-by-case basis would continue. ""Whilst we consider that an offender's diminished life expectancy, his age, health and the prospect of dying in prison are factors legitimately to be taken into account in passing sentence, they have to be balanced against the gravity of the offending - including the harm done to victims - and the public interest in setting appropriate punishment for very serious crimes.""

+"Carbisdale Castle, a former stately home dubbed Castle of Spite because of the part it played in a historic family feud, was shut three years ago. The Scottish Youth Hostels Association (SYHA) had to close it as a hostel because of rising repair costs. The SYHA said the selling agents have received notes of interest and these were being considered. The castle, which overlooks the Kyle of Sutherland, was shut as a hostel after suffering frost damage. Historic Scotland lists the castle and its entrance gates as category B, which means they are structures of regional importance. The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland had Carbisdale Castle built between 1907 and 1917 following the death of her husband, George Granville William Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, the Third Duke of Sutherland. Lady Mary was the duke's second wife and after he died she became embroiled in a legal dispute over his will with her step son, the fourth Duke of Sutherland. When the row was settled the duchess used her inheritance to have Carbisdale constructed. According to geographical encyclopaedia, The Gazetteer of Scotland, the property became known as the Castle of Spite. Its clock tower only has three faces with none that could be seen by the new duke as he passed by in his private train on his way to Dunrobin Castle, near Golspie, his family's property in Sutherland. It is also said that he would have the blinds of his carriage shut so he did not have to look at Carbisdale. The castle was bought by a Scots-Norwegian family in 1933 and was used as a refuge for the Norwegian royal family during World War II.

+"Finance Minister Michael Noonan said given the uncertainty, it was important to continue policies for economic growth, job creation and debt control. The low VAT rate for the hospitality industry would continue, as would the 12.5% corporation tax, he said. Ireland's economic growth forecast for next year has been cut to 3.5%. However, Mr Noonan said that despite the downgrade, the Irish economy was in good shape, growing strongly and should continue to grow over the coming years. The finance minister told the D¨¢il, the Irish parliament, that the only tax increase was 50 cents on cigarettes, taking the price of a packet of 20 to 11 euros (¡ê10). He said the government was introducing ""economic shock absorbers"" and announced plans to establish a ""rainy day fund"" of up to a billion euros per year when the Irish budget goes into surplus in 2018. ""Whatever the final settlement, what we know with certainty is that Brexit has increased risk to the Irish economy and, as well as introducing specific measures to assist particular sectors of the economy, we must also put in place safety nets to protect us against future economic shocks,"" he said. Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe told the parliament he was proposing 4,500 new front-line service jobs including Garda¨ª  (Irish police), nurses and teachers. He also told the D¨¢il that from March 2017, those getting old age pensions and weekly social welfare would get five euros (¡ê4.50) a week increase.

+"Emergency vehicles have reached Shell Island - which is regularly cut off by high tides - via the neighbouring Llanbedr Airfield for decades. Campsite director Richard Workman said changes made by the airfield's tenant, Snowdonia Aerospace LLP, are ""unfair"". Snowdonia Aerospace said access is still possible. The main route to Shell Island - one of the biggest campsites in Europe - is via a causeway which is cut off by the tide twice a day, every other week. Mr Workman said that Snowdonia Aerospace initially proposed to stop any kind of emergency vehicle access across the Welsh Government-owned airfield by the end of March. Now they have negotiated a temporary arrangement where emergency services will have to call a mobile number issued by Snowdonia Aerospace. The gate will then be opened and the vehicle escorted over the airfield - but only if someone is available to do so. Mr Workman said he fears the firm could renew its bid to completely withdraw access. ""We don't believe anyone has a right to stop emergency services from reaching people in need and are urgently seeking to clarify the legality of their decision to block what has been an agreed access route for many decades,"" he said.

+"The trial has received widespread coverage here and has often been front page news. The verdict came too late for the most of the Australian newspapers but the tabloid Sydney Daily Telegraph ran with a simple one word headline ""GUILTY."" Although Harris left Australia for England in 1952, he now faces the possibility of further charges being brought here. During the trial several Australian women came forward alleging that Harris molested them during return visits to his country of birth. Two radio presenters say Harris groped them following interviews. Verity James, a radio host in Perth says Harris assaulted her following an interview in 2000. She says the man she calls ""the octopus"" pushed her up against a wall, grabbed her buttocks and rubbed her breasts. A second journalist Jane Marwick alleges she was groped as she posed for a photograph with Harris after an interview in 2001. Neither woman has said whether they will press charges here. One Australian woman Tonya Lee, who waived her right to anonymity, was one of those who took the case to trial in the UK. She told the court Harris assaulted her on a ""dream"" trip to London with a youth theatre group in 1986. She said Harris invited her to sit on his knee in a pub then sexually abused her. She says he then attacked her again outside the pub bathroom. For older Australians Harris was one of the country's best known exports, a household name. Despite living in the UK, he was a regular face on Australian television during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. He was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association's Hall of Fame.

+"The most famous Freud was Sigmund, the figurehead of the family, and one of the great thinkers in modern history. As founder of the discipline of psychoanalysis, he created an entirely new approach to understanding - and treating - the unconscious mind. But since his death in 1939, his offspring to this day have carried on the family name to great heights in a variety of fields. In politics, David Freud - now Lord Freud - is the current parliamentary undersecretary of state for work and pensions, while Matthew Freud is an influential public relations chief who is married to Elisabeth Murdoch, daughter of media mogul Rupert. In the arts, Lucian Freud's heritage lives on with his daughters Bella and Esther, who are famed for being a highly-regarded fashion designer and novelist respectively. Another prominent family member no longer with us was Sir Clement, Sigmund's grandson who had a varied career as a culinary expert, humorist, columnist, broadcaster and Liberal MP. But the Freuds are not the only family whose achievements put the average family to shame. There is the Redgrave acting dynasty, headed by Michael, his  children Vanessa, Corin and Lynn and grandchildren Jemma Redgrave and Natasha and Joely Richardson. In the US, political dynasties have become the norm - headed of course by the Kennedy and Bush families. But the Freuds are unusual in that their achievements are in such a wide range of fields. According to Ivan Ward, deputy director of the Freud Museum, this may be because of the ideas first espoused by Sigmund Freud and his belief in independent thought as well as the importance of being told from an early age that you are special. Sigmund, who was Jewish, lived in Austria, which came under Nazi rule after being annexed by Germany in 1938. He, his wife and youngest daughter were forced to flee their Vienna home to London after being targeted by the Nazis. His four sisters, who stayed behind, later died in concentration camps. Lucian's painting of a woman on a sofa set a record price for a living artist when it sold for $33.6m (?¡ê21m) Painter Lucian Freud dies aged 88 Obituary: Lucian Freud In pictures: Lucian Freud According to Mr Ward, the sense of conflict of living in opposition was something which inspired Sigmund's independence of thought. ""The upheaval of having to leave Vienna, and the Holocaust where four of his sisters died in concentration camps - all those things would have had an impact,"" he said. ""He was the oldest boy, and his mother used to call him the 'golden child', so there was a sense of being the favourite and the oldest boy in a Jewish family pushed him on to his achievements. ""How it gets transmitted to following generations is hard to say."" As a father, Sigmund was ""tolerant and encouraged creativity and the ability to think"", said Mr Ward. ""Try and picture the scene of Freud with his children when they were small; he's trying to establish himself and he's struggling and working all hours.. it's hard to say he spent a lot of time with his children, he probably didn't. ""But you get the feeling that when he did, he treated them with a seriousness and complexity that some people don't think about when it comes to relating to children."" And in Sigmund's own words: ""If a man has been his mother's undisputed darling, he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling; the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it."" But do genetics play a role in a family's success? Marcus Pembrey, a professor of paediatric genetics at University College London, said that although genetics can influence things like intelligence, it does not do it directly. ""Genetic differences between genes make them highly responsive to environment but whether this is a good thing depends on the environment,"" he said. ""If it's one where there's underachievement then they will adopt that and achieve nothing, so it works for better and worse."" He said the Freuds probably have genes which are highly responsive to the environment around them so as their family is full of people who have distinctive achievements, children in the early years of development pick up on this. Tim Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology and director of the department of twin research at King's College in London, argues that genetics do have a role to play in success but not usually in the same profession. ""Identical twins rarely succeed in the same fields,"" he said. ""For success, you need a basic minimal IQ - which is 60% genetic - but also the environment which usually includes a role model and teacher or family to drive you. ""You also need motivation and the will to practise hard from an early age. These traits are partly genetic but can be improved with training."" According to family relationship therapist Julia Armstrong, the first seven years are key times in a person's development as things such as parents, friendships and schooling all have an impact. ""If at that point a person is given the permission to shine, there is a natural expectation that life is going to offer opportunities. ""We've all got the capacity to be whatever we want to be, and nature depends on that being encouraged, so if a child's preference or talent is recognised, then they are more likely to grow into their creative self."" She said a child in a successful family can go in one of two directions - they can excel once they discover what their own talent may be, or they can feel the pressure and go the other way and not live up to expectations.","The art world has been @placeholder the death of Lucian Freud , arguably one of the UK 's most highly regarded and respected artists .

A report from the committee rejected the idea of a single regulator to tackle the issue. It suggested a better solution would be a single point of contact for consumers, combined with more co-operation between existing watchdog bodies. The committee found that a significant cause of nuisance calls was the unfair or even illegal use of personal data. This included obtaining a person's ""consent"" to receive unsolicited marketing calls in ways that were ""at best opaque and at worst dishonest"" and trading personal details with companies which were ""lacking in scruples"". The MPs said the information commissioner ""should use his existing powers to tackle them far more, and should not shy from imposing repeated penalties on companies that are repeat offenders"". The committee recommended a single online form and helpline - clearly advertised on phone bills - for consumers to report cases. Mr Whittingdale said: ""At best, the underlying scatter-gun marketing approach causes needless interruption to many while providing occasional benefit to a few. ""At worst, these are unscrupulous and potentially fraudulent practices that can cause great annoyance, anxiety and loss. ""The challenge is one of curtailing that, while at the same time allowing legitimate marketing and unsolicited calls made for good reason."" Mr Whittingdale said there was scope for regulations preventing nuisance callers from using blocked or false numbers. The threshold for enforcement action under EU regulations should also be lowered, he added.","Regulators should do more to clamp down on companies that make nuisance calls , an @placeholder group of MPs has said .",angry,ongoing,alleged,activist,influential

They are unable to finish higher than ninth in the Pro12, with victory last time out against Newport Gwent Dragons halting a run of eight successive league defeats. Hodge concedes the performances on his watch have not been good enough, and admits there are things he would do differently if given the opportunity to lead the team again. ""There are lots of little things [I'd change],"" the former Scotland fly-half told BBC Scotland. ""There's always experience and learnings to be had. It was tricky coming in at that point in the season and it's hard to make too many changes in-season.

The 18-year-old was stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack at a bus stop in Eltham by a gang of white youths. Members of the Lawrence family and their legal representatives have been involved in the inquiry and are being kept updated, the NCA said. Any findings will be reported back to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and could result in criminal or misconduct proceedings. The new investigation was prompted by the findings of a review in 2014 which named a former undercover Met Police officer and said he spied on the Lawrence family. The Ellison review also found there remained a number of lines of inquiry relating to allegations Det Sgt John Davidson had acted corruptly, and possibly other officers. Mr Davidson denied the claims. At the time, Home Secretary Theresa May described the findings as ""deeply troubling"" and ordered a judge-led public inquiry into undercover policing as a whole. That inquiry, led by Lord Justice Pitchford, will examine the Stephen Lawrence case amongst others. A separate investigation is also being carried out by the IPCC, after Mr Lawrence's father, Neville, made a complaint about former Metropolitan Police commissioner John, now Lord, Stevens over claims he withheld evidence from the 1998 Macpherson Inquiry. The 1998 inquiry was ordered by the then Home Secretary Jack Straw amid concerns about the way the police had handled the case. Sir William Macpherson, a retired High Court judge, led the inquiry and accused the police of institutional racism after finding a number of failings in how they had investigated the murder.

The artist has selected journalist James Fox as his ghostwriter. Fox was the writer behind Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards' autobiography, as well as the book White Mischief, which recounted the Happy Valley murder case in Kenya in 1941. Hirst was one of the founding members of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement, which also counted Tracey Emin, Sarah Lucas and Mark Wallinger amongst its numbers.

The soldiers were shot hours before they were due to fly to Afghanistan. They served with the 38 Engineer Regiment. They had ordered pizza and left the base to collect it at about 21:20 GMT on 7 March 2009, when they were attacked by two gunmen. Four other people were seriously injured in the shooting. In Belfast Crown Court on Friday, the judge, Mr Justice Deeny, described the killings as ""ferocious and ruthless"". He said the prosecution case against Mr Shivers was based on circumstantial evidence. The judge said he could not be sure that DNA found on matches and a phone was not an innocent transfer by Mr Shivers. ""It could have been a quite innocent touching,"" he said. ""And of course the transfer may have been secondary and not direct; shaking hands with someone who then handled the phone. ""In the same regard, the DNA on the matches does indicate contact with the box of matches used by the person who did set fire to the vehicle on 7 March.  But that contact with that object might have been an entirely innocent one."" He also put weight on the evidence given by Lisa Leacock, Mr Shivers' fiancee. The judge referred to Mr Shivers' significant medical disability and his previous good character.  He said these factors suggested he would be an unlikely associate for ""this determined gang"" to rely on.

Chris Newlands, the vicar of Lancaster Priory church, posed the motion as a way of the Church welcoming people who suffer from transphobia in society. Mr Newlands said he would speak on behalf of the transgender community, as there were no transgender people in the synod. He said: ""I hope that we can make a powerful statement that we believe trans people are cherished and loved by God, who created them."" After the Synod voted for the motion, he added: ""I'm euphoric and exhausted. ""I did think there were some comments which reflect some of the extreme views which we would wish to counter. ""I'm getting so many messages from trans friends around the world.  Synod has changed - we have turned a corner."" During the debate, lay member Tim Hind, who was supportive of transgender people, argued that the motion would make the Church look ""foolish"". An amendment to the motion asking bishops to consider the theological, pastoral and other issues around gender transition, was rejected.

+"Their statement said police in Siaya shot dead two people in self-defence. A third man in Kisumu died from a head injury after falling over while running from tear gas, reports AFP news agency. Last week, there were complaints of police brutality as officers were pictured assaulting demonstrators in the capital, Nairobi. This is the fourth week of protests over the electoral commission. The opposition Cord alliance wants the current members of the electoral commission to resign ahead of next year's presidential election. Cord is complaining that they are biased in favour of the governing Jubilee coalition and want it replaced by a neutral body, the BBC's Anne Soy reports from Nairobi. Deputy President William Ruto told the BBC's Focus on Africa TV that Monday's protests were illegal, on the basis that police were not given adequate warning. ""Peaceful protests are safeguarded and provided for by the constitution,"" he added. Mr Ruto also said that police who were caught on camera beating protesters last Monday, sparking a public outcry over the alleged brutality, ""will be brought to book"". Those who ""jeopardised the rights of other Kenyans will face the full force of the law,"" he said. A police investigation into the officers' behaviour is ongoing. Several other places have been caught up in the demonstrations including the coastal city of Mombasa, where police fired tear gas to prevent protesters from gathering. In Nairobi, there was a heavy police presence to stop people joining the demonstrations. The opposition says that one of its senators leading protests in the western town of Kakamega has been arrested. Last week, President Uhuru Kenyatta said that if the opposition wanted changes at the electoral commission, they should use constitutional procedures to achieve this.

Being Human is the UK's national festival of the humanities, run by the University of London's School of Advanced Study, with 300 events staged around the country in November. At the launch at the Hunterian Museum in London, V&A assistant curator Zorian Clayton explained that the project would examine the hidden histories of the museum's collection and its intersections with gay and lesbian culture. He revealed the level of potential interest from people searching the art and design museum's website. Along with ""ships"", ""flowers"" and ""cinema"", ""homo-erotic"" was one of the most popular searches. There were also searches for ""sepulchral monuments"". The Being Human festival aims to look at the human condition from different perspectives and to promote work in the humanities. Among the work being promoted is Being Human/Being Animal, in which historians from King's College London and the Royal College of Surgeons will look at how studies of human and animal health have overlapped. Understanding the spread of diseases and problems such as vitamin deficiencies has been part of both human medicine and animal welfare.

""His tone was harsh warning people against LGBT people, how homosexuality is wrong, that homosexuals are into bestiality and are paedophiles.

+"Researchers at Australia's Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), just outside Townsville, Queensland, in north-east Australia, have mapped the pattern of destruction. ""Coral cover is half of what it was 27 years ago, coral cover is going down at an alarming rate."" Dr Katharina Fabricius, coral reef ecologist and AIMS principal research scientist, told the BBC World Service programme Discovery. She said the biggest culprit was the Crown of Thorns Starfish (COTs). ""There are three main sources for the coral decline, one is storms, however 42% is attributed to Crown of Thorns Starfish - and just 10% due to bleaching. This compares with 70% due to bleaching for reefs elsewhere in the world , such as in the Caribbean."" Bleaching occurs when corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or nutrients. They expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. Australian scientists are now looking at ways to reduce the destruction wreaked by starfish, which have the ability to smother coral and digest the fleshy parts. ""Crown of thorns are amazing creatures, they can grow to larger than a dinner plate they have multiple arms they're covered in spines,"" said Craig Humphrey, manager of the AIMS SEASIM project, the world's largest marine environment simulator. ""They go onto a coral, invert their stomach and dissolve and digest the coral tissue."" The SEASIM team is running a series of experiments on COTs to look at ways of lessening their impact on coral. There have always been COTs outbreaks: go into the fossil record and you can find the spines of COTs throughout geological history. But while outbreaks have occurred over many years, they now seem to be increasingly in frequency - and nutrients from land-based agriculture are the probable culprit. ""The conjecture is the agricultural practice has reduced the time between COT outbreaks,"" said Mr Humphrey. ""At a point north of Townsville, you'll get an initial outbreak then you'll see waves of COTs spreading down the reef, and they'll consume massive amounts of coral - they do massive damage. ""We've held COTs here on restrictive diets, but you put them into a tank with coral and within 12 hours they'll have consumed all the tissue on that coral."" Excess fertiliser from agriculture, in Queensland particularly from sugar cane farming, is leached into rivers which then run into the sea, taking these concentrated nutrients to the reef. The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is on a continental shelf, which contributes to the problem, acting as a barrier to the further dispersal of nutrients from the land. ""The GBR is having a higher nutrient status because of what's coming down the rivers - and the main cause of the runoff is agriculture, contributing nutrients to the system at rates that are probably six to 10 times higher than in pre-industrial times,"" said Dr Fabricius. John Brodie is team leader of the Catchment to Reef Processes Research Group at James Cook University. He explains that historically only a tiny proportion of COT larvae survived to adulthood - but the agricultural nutrients are changing that. ""Crown of Thorns are very fecund animals: each female can produce between five and 20 million eggs per animal - so a lot of eggs. ""The larvae drift in the water for about five weeks and eat phytoplankton."" In just the same way that algal blooms have been created in other parts of the world, in Queensland an increase in the amount of agricultural nutrients in the seawater has led to a vast increase in the amount of phytoplankton - which the COT larvae need to survive. As Mr Brodie explains: ""What have we done, we've pumped a whole lot of nutrients in, we've increased the amount of phytoplankton enormously at just the right time of year, so instead of 0.0001% of the larvae surviving, now 10 times as much survives. ""Usually we have tiny number of larvae surviving, now we've got big numbers - 10 million eggs per female - so each reef might have a million animals, so now you're talking about five trillion in the water at a time, the numbers are extraordinary."" Mr Brodie has been working with Queensland's sugar cane farmers to try and reduce the amount of fertiliser entering the sea. He seems to be having some success, reducing levels by 2-3% by suggesting to them that using less fertiliser will save them money and help protect the recreational fisheries that they use.",Waves of carnivorous starfish are eating their way through Australia 's Great Barrier Reef - and sugar cane farming is being @placeholder .,reminded,developed,blamed,solved,resumed

+"Lieutenant Negar was shot in the neck near police headquarters in the provincial capital, Lashkar Gah. She is the third senior policewoman to be killed in recent months. Her predecessor in Helmand, Islam Bibi, was killed on her way to work in July. Police in Helmand face the twin threats of Taliban insurgents and drug traders. No group has said it carried out the latest attack. A spokesman for the governor of Helmand described Lt Negar's assailants as ""enemies of Afghanistan"". The BBC's David Loyn in Kabul says Afghan troops and police are increasingly bearing the load as British and American troops draw down their forces. Women make up just under 1% of Afghanistan's police, with nearly 1,600 policewomen serving and about 200 more in training. Lt Negar, known only by her surname, was walking near police headquarters when she was shot by a gunman on a motorbike, officials say. Helmand Provincial governor's spokesman Omar Zawak told the Associated Press news agency that the 38-year-old suffered a bullet wound to the neck. In a recent interview with the New York Times, Lt Negar said she loved her job, and felt it was important that women came forward to work for the police. After her two female colleagues were killed in July, she said her role was to give courage to the 30 or so other women police officers in Helmand and boost their morale. Lt Negar served as a sub-inspector in the police criminal investigation department in Helmand. She took over when 37-year-old Islam Bibi was shot dead in July. Lt Bibi had been hailed as a role model for other women in the conservative province. Several prominent Afghan women have been attacked or kidnapped in recent months. Earlier this month the Taliban released a female member of parliament who they had held hostage for a month.

South Koreans are going to the polls next week, following the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye over a corruption scandal last year. The 65-year-old former president, who remains in custody, was formally charged last month. Tension has also escalated in the region over North Korea's nuclear programme, with US sending warships to the region. But South Korea's export performance has continued to improve, boosting its trade surplus with the rest of the world to $13.25bn. US President Trump has warned that he is reviewing the US's free trade deal with South Korea. However the trade data may ease the pressure on Seoul, as exports to the US rose only 3.9% in April, leaving South Korea's trade surplus with the US lower in April than a year ago. As well as semi-conductors, South Korea's exports were boosted by oil products, machinery and household electronics.

+"And that is why two Essex women have launched a campaign to remove the 'rude and stereotypical' term ""Essex girl"" from the Oxford English Dictionary. Juliet Thomas and Natasha Sawkins want their proud peers to post their success under #IAmAnEssexGirl and sign their petition to have the term scrubbed. But, a dictionary spokeswoman said, ""nothing is ever taken out of the OED"". ""It's a historical dictionary,"" she told the BBC. ""Definitions can change, but an entry will never come out."" The dictionary defines Essex girl as: ""Essex girl  n.  [after Essex man n.] Brit. derogatory a contemptuous term applied (usu. joc.) to a type of young woman, supposedly to be found in and around Essex, and variously characterized as unintelligent, promiscuous, and materialistic."" The campaigners were further peeved by a Collins definition that added: ""devoid of taste"". Juliet Thomas told the BBC: ""It's so rude and it doesn't define anyone I know in or from Essex. It describes a very dated stereotype."" The alternative meaning of just a girl in or from Essex was absent, she said. And it was ""incredibly offensive"" to see it in the dictionary with no reference to caricature. She wants women to sign the petition with the aim of having the entry removed and to post their successes and support on social media to ""redefine"" what it means to be an Essex girl. Among those who have backed the campaign, novelist Amanda Prowse tweeted her support and theatre technician Emily Holden tweeted: ""I have a BA (hons) degree... I help put on awesome work. "" Ms Thomas said women, particularly young women, were still having to fight the Essex girl stereotype years after the term was coined.

+"Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said the three countries had ignored ""repeated calls"" from the EU's executive to take their share. Only 20,869 of the 160,000 refugees have so far been relocated in the EU. The three states could be referred to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and eventually face heavy fines. The relocation plan was conceived in response to the large influx of migrants and refugees in 2015, in an attempt to relieve pressure on frontline states, mainly Greece and Italy, where the vast majority of migrants were arriving. EU countries agreed to relocate 160,000 asylum-seekers between them - though Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary voted against accepting mandatory quotas. Hungary and Slovakia challenged the quota last month in the ECJ. While the UK and Ireland were exempt from the original 2015 proposal, Poland's previous government backed the plan, although its current Eurosceptic administration has since rejected it. The Czech Republic has accepted only 12 of the 2,000 it had been designated, while Hungary and Poland have received none. ""I regret to see that despite our repeated calls to pledge to relocate, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland have not yet taken the necessary action,"" Mr Avramopoulos, told journalists. ""For this reason, the Commission has decided to launch infringement procedures against these three member states. I sincerely hope that these member states can still reconsider their position and contribute fairly."" But Poland has already signalled it will not fall into line with the quota. ""Each decision to relocate groups of migrants encourages thousands or millions more at the borders of Europe, to come to Europe, to get on boats and pontoons and risk their lives to reach the European continent,"" said Polish government spokesman Rafal Bochenek. Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka stressed that his country too would not take part either, ""with regard to the worsened security situation in Europe and dysfunctionality of the quota system"". The quotas were based on the size and wealth of each country, but Austria and Denmark have so far not taken in any refugees either.

The IPC is set to announce whether it will suspend the National Paralympic Committee of Russia at a news conference in Rio. Should the NPC be suspended it will have 21 days to appeal against the decision.

""We are also urgently following up on McLaren's recommendation for 19 samples from the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games to be sent for further analysis, having been identified as part of the sample-swapping regime in place during the Games."" Craven said Russia's NPC would be given the chance to make its case before a decision is made. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) originally said individual sports' governing bodies should decide if Russian competitors were clean to compete at the Olympics, which begin on 5 August. But it now says a newly convened three-person panel ""will decide whether to accept or reject that final proposal"". More than 250 Russian athletes have so far been cleared to compete.

That is 2.7% lower than in September 2015, just before the scandal broke. However, across the industry as a whole, second hand values have fallen by 2% over the same timeframe, suggesting that Volkswagens have performed only slightly worse than the average car on the market.

One former Beechwood resident claims he was gang raped from the age of ten. By Jeremy BallSocial affairs correspondent This is one of Nottinghamshire's largest police inquiries for several years. At the heart of this inquiry is the old Beechwood Children's Home in Mapperley, where a number of former residents claim they suffered horrific physical and sexual abuse.

+"The House of Representatives approved the bill earlier this week, also by an overwhelming majority. Having passed through both chambers, it will be sent to President Trump to sign into law. But Mr Trump has sought closer ties with Russia, and has the power to veto the bill despite its political support. A presidential veto can, in turn, be overridden by a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate - where just a handful of politicians voted against the bill. The sanctions were drawn up in part to punish Russia further over the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. But the debate over the new measures has taken place against the backdrop of an ongoing investigation into alleged Russian meddling the in the 2016 presidential election. Mr Trump has repeatedly denied the existence of any Russian involvement in the election to help his campaign. But political correspondents say an attempt to veto the new sanctions could fuel suspicion that he is too supportive of the Kremlin. The White House is also said to be particularly concerned over a provision in the new bill which would limit President Trump's ability to lift the sanctions. Under the legislation, he would be forced to consult Congress first. Speaking earlier this week after the House passed the bill, top-ranking Republican Paul Ryan said it ""tightens the screws on our most dangerous adversaries in order to keep Americans safe"". But the bill was criticised by some European countries which deal with Russian energy pipelines - which may fall foul of the new sanctions. It remains to be seen if the president will attempt to veto the bill. New White House Communications director Anthony Scaramucci told CNN: ""He may sign the sanctions exactly the way they are or he may veto the sanctions and negotiate an even tougher deal against the Russians."" Earlier this week, the White House simply said it was reviewing the bill, ""and awaits a final legislative package for the president's desk"".","The United States Senate has voted 98 - 2 to impose new sanctions on Russia , Iran and North Korea , despite @placeholder from the White House .",criticism,objections,interest,warnings,scrutiny

+"From 11 April, cuts are being made to work allowances - the equivalent of tax credits - for those who receive benefits under Universal Credit (UC). The new UC system is gradually being rolled out across the UK. Those who register for tax credits before UC comes to their area will see their future payments protected. But those who do not - says Unison - will typically lose more than ¡ê50 a week. A couple over the age of 25, with no children, earning the National Living Wage for 30 hours a week, would be ¡ê2,756 a year better off if they register for tax credits before they transfer onto UC, according to Unison. ""If low-paid workers sign up to tax credits, not only will they be better off now, but their income will also be protected in future, unless there is a significant change in their circumstances,"" said Dave Prentis, Unison's general secretary. The Chancellor, George Osborne, originally decided to cut both tax credits and the UC equivalent, work allowances. But after a Conservative party revolt in the autumn of 2015, he decided not to cut tax credits. That left cuts to work allowances unchanged. For example, until now a single parent with no housing costs has been able to earn ¡ê8,808 a year before his or her UC payments were affected. From 11 April that parent will only be allowed to earn ¡ê4,764 before payments are affected.  Above that amount, payments will be reduced by 65p for every extra pound earned. Unison said that some people could lose as much as ¡ê14,000 over the next five years. The government has said that claimants will benefit from the new National Living Wage, improved tax allowances and more generous child care allowances. At the moment only around 200,000 claimants are using UC. The rest will move across by April 2021. Lee Healey, whose company IncomeMax advises people on claiming benefits, said it was sensible to claim tax credits if you are entitled to them. ""Far too many people miss out on payments they are eligible for, and claiming tax credits now could mean you are protected when Universal Credit is fully rolled out,"" he told the BBC. ""Disabled people, lone parents and couples with children in particular could be missing out.""

+"He spoke after a crisis meeting in Brussels about the global steel glut that was attended by 30 countries. China has ""absolutely recognised that it is a problem of overcapacity in their country"", Mr Javid said. However, China rejected suggestions that it subsidised its loss-making steel companies, and the meeting ended without any formal agreement. Nevertheless, Mr Javid said China is ""committing to do something about it and I think that's a very positive step forward"". He said it was the first time all the major steel-producing nations had come together with the industry to discuss the issue of excess capacity. Mr Javid admitted that there was no ""overnight solution"" to the issue of excess production: ""The discussion today with all these countries coming together is something that we pushed for, and ... China's participation will help make the difference."" Chinese steel output rose in March, according to official figures released last week, despite repeated pledges to cut capacity. Ministers and trade officials, including from the US and India, as well as the World Trade Organisation, World Steel Association and the private sector attended Monday's meeting, which was organised by the OECD. Mari Kiviniemi, OECD deputy secretary-general, said there was ""very strong willingness"" to hold further talks, with some countries wanting to take more ""concrete steps"". Gareth Stace, director of UK Steel, said: ""We appear to be no closer to finding international action to put in place solutions. This is a global problem which requires a global solution to remove current over-capacity and time is a luxury we don't have."" He called on China to take the same radical action that European steel producers had embraced. Earlier, China's official news agency said that blaming the country for the global steel industry's problems was a ""lame and lazy excuse for protectionism"". Xinhua said in an English-language commentary piece: ""Blaming other countries is always an easy, sure-fire way for politicians to whip up a storm over domestic economic woes, but finger-pointing and protectionism are counter-productive. The last thing the world needs is a trade war over this issue. Far more jobs will be lost than gained if protectionism prevails."" EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem told the meeting the steel crisis was ""now life or death for many companies"", but that tariffs were ""only a short-term bandage"", adding: ""Healing the sector's wounds requires sustained international cooperation leading to effective reform."" The internal market and industry commissioner, Elzbieta Bienkowska, said the European Union should consider allowing member nations to subsidise their steel industries. ""We have to discuss whether we can't be more flexible in our judgment of state aid,"" she told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. ""We cannot push this industry any further."" 63.7bn tonnes in 2015 67.5% used in 2015 70.9% used in 2014 The steel crisis has put thousands of UK jobs under threat at plants including Port Talbot in south Wales. Tata Steel said last month that it was selling its unprofitable UK plants. The company has blamed factors including high energy costs and China ""dumping"" steel on the global market. Britain's steel industry: What's going wrong? Roy Rickhuss, leader of the Community union, said the meeting was more concerned with the long term, rather than immediate action to save the UK industry. ""Today's meeting seemed to be all about long-term challenges. While these issues do need addressing, what we need is urgent short-term action from governments across Europe and beyond to get us through the current crisis and create a sustainable future for steel."" The Government has come under pressure to rescue Port Talbot and has been urged to consider part-nationalising the industry. Mr Javid said parties interested in Tata's UK assets had started to come forward: ""It's too early to say much about them at this stage but the important thing is, as we said all along, we will do everything we can to help with that sales process. The steel workers of Britain deserve nothing less."" The business secretary said that EY had been appointed to act as financial advisers on behalf of the Government, which was ""committed to doing all it can to ensure a sustainable future for the UK steel industry"". Tata has also appointed Standard Chartered bank as an additional adviser. The Indian group said on Monday that Bimlendra Jha has been appointed to the new role of chief executive of Tata Steel UK.

""It'll take us a couple of days, probably, to get over the anguish,"" said the Ireland coach. A further worry for Schmidt is centre Robbie Henshaw's knee injury. The Leinster-bound Connacht player had to be replaced by Ian Madigan in Johannesburg and now looks to be a doubt for Saturday's decisive Test in Port Elizabeth. Tries from Ruan Combrinck, Warren Whiteley, Pieter-Steph du Toit and Damian de Allende saw Ireland crumble in the face of the Springbok onslaught. ""The players are certainly disappointed,"" Schmidt said. ""Whenever you get the win and get the result, it's always a lot easier to bounce back even if it's a physically tiring match."" After Devin Toner's first-half try, Jamie Heaslip's touchdown after the break helped keep Ireland in apparent control at 26-10 ahead but Schmidt's side conceded three tries in the closing 16 minutes in Johannesburg. ""We missed tackles and were unlucky at times, but the result was well and truly earned by the South African ball-carriers,"" said the Ireland coach. ""They really did take it to us and we were not quite up the task and that is incredibly disappointing."" Schmidt pointed to two penalty misses by otherwise impressive fly-half Paddy Jackson which would have increased Ireland's advantage when the Springboks were struggling. ""We just missed penalties before and after half-time which could have kept our confidence levels up and maybe delivered a little bit more of a blow to the South Africans,"" said the 50-year-old New Zealander. ""But the way they came back. They were relatively irrepressible."" Schmidt praised the performances of debutant Quinn Roux, tight-head prop Tadgh Furlong and Ulster centre Stuart Olding. ""Quinn gave us 50 minutes of real ballast in the scrums, he got around the park and he made sure that we were not losing those collisions. ""I thought Tadhg was great.

+"The UN envoy for the Middle East peace process, Nickolay Mladenov, said he had serious doubts as to whether capital trials there met fair trial standards. Mr Mladenov added that he was disturbed by reports that some of the executions might be carried out in public. One Palestinian group has documented 67 executions in Gaza since 2007. However, that figure does not include the killings of people accused by Hamas of being collaborators during wartime. At least 25 were shot dead after the 2014 conflict with Israel. On Wednesday, Hamas-affiliated members of the Palestinian parliament announced they had approved a measure allowing executions to be carried out in Gaza without having first been ratified by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who is based in the West Bank. ""We found it was important to implement the death penalty rule to maintain civil peace in society and to prevent cases of murder,"" Hamas MP Yehia Mousa told the New York Times. It was not clear what authority the MPs had to authorise executions in the coastal territory, given that the full Palestinian Legislative Council has not met since Hamas reinforced its power in Gaza in 2007 following a violent rift with Mr Abbas' Fatah movement. But the move came a week after Hamas leader Ismail Haniya said 13 Palestinians had been sentenced to death by courts in Gaza and would be executed as soon as possible. Last month, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) said a military court had sentenced three men to death for collaborating with Israel. That took the total number of death sentences issued so far this year in Gaza to 10, it added. The Hamas authorities mostly stopped carrying out the death penalty in June 2014, when a government of national consensus was formed and officially placed in charge of Gaza. However, that government never exercised authority there and, in July 2015, it was reshuffled without Hamas' inclusion or input. In February, Hamas' military wing executed one of its commanders ""for behavioural and moral violations"". Mahmoud Eshtewi was accused of theft and of having sex with another man, the New York Times reported. In a briefing to the UN Security Council, Mr Mladenov stressed that international law limited the application of the death penalty to the ""most serious crimes"" and pursuant to a trial and appeals process that scrupulously follow fair trial standards. ""I have serious doubts as to whether capital trials in Gaza meet these standards,"" he said. ""There are also disturbing media reports indicating that the sentences could be carried out in public.

+"In fact there could be periods of turbulence over the coming years before touchdown. The government-commissioned Airports Commission, led by Sir Howard Davies, last summer recommended construction of a third airstrip at Heathrow, and this proposal has now been backed by the government. The plan involves building a new 3,500m runway about two miles north of the two runways Heathrow already has, at an estimated cost of ¡ê17.6bn. So what will actually happen next and what does it mean for travellers? Heathrow says it expects the new runway to be open in 2025 - with the planning process dealt with by 2020, then four years to build the runway itself and another year to attend to the surrounding infrastructure needed. The airport say its expansion timetable has factored in the possibility of the runway decision going to a judicial review. And that looks a likely possibility given the bodies lined up to make a legal protest, including local councils, plus community and environmental groups. Indeed, the prime minister's local council has said it will spend ¡ê50,000 to challenge Heathrow expansion. Windsor and Maidenhead Council, in Theresa May's constituency, has teamed up with Hillingdon, Richmond and Wandsworth councils to fight the expansion. Overall, the four councils have pledged ¡ê200,000 towards a legal challenge. Residents' organisation Teddington Action Group (TAG) also says it is committed to launching legal proceedings. It says one of the key grounds for a judicial review into the expansion decision is the ""apparent bias"" of Sir Howard Davies, relating to his past roles at GIC Private Ltd, owner of an 11.9% share in Heathrow Airport Holdings. Heathrow chosen for expansion with third runway Airport expansion: the cost of delays Given this potential for legal hold-ups, the Independent's travel editor Simon Calder says, ""I wouldn't book a ticket for the opening ceremony just yet."" And it is not just legal challenges that could cause delays. Despite today's announcement it could be two years before a final ""final"" decision, thanks to convoluted parliamentary and planning processes. And there are those who think two years is the absolute minimum and that in reality it could take at least four years. Heathrow envisages a three-runway airport providing up to 740,000 flights a year, up from the current 480,000. ""What is interesting is what happens in terms of expanding capacity,"" says Mr Calder. ""We are not going to get all the airlines just suddenly saying, 'We have another 50% more aircraft here.' There is going to have to be a gradual building up of their capacity."" To handle the increased numbers, a new terminal building 6 will be built alongside the new runway, while Mr Calder adds that existing terminals 5 and 2 could process more passengers than they do at present. ""For most people the flying experience out of Heathrow will not change much,"" he says. ""It may be that there will be less waiting time before boarding. ""There will obviously be the new terminal building near to the third runway.  And there will need to be some new infrastructure in order for passengers to connect to this terminal. ""Where there should be noticeable change though is for incoming passengers - there will certainly be much less time holding in the air before landing."" Once passengers land, there will also need to be extra public transport infrastructure in place at an expanded Heathrow. The airport has plans for two main passenger transport hubs - Heathrow West (Terminals 5 and 6) and Heathrow East (an extended Terminal 2) - connected by an underground passenger transport and baggage system. Current transport routes which could be developed into the enlarged airport include a Heathrow Express extension, and a Great Western Railways service. And Crossrail and Southern rail may also provide transport services into the airport in future. With regards to airlines, British Airways, which has roughly half of all slots at Heathrow, will almost certainly stay in Terminal 5, and the expanded Terminal 2 seems set to remain as the base for airlines that make up the Star Alliance grouping. Meanwhile, Easyjet, which already serves four London airports - Luton, Stansted, Southend and Gatwick - is set to move in and open a new base at Terminal 4. It plans to compete with BA, and has promised to restore some links around the UK - such as to Inverness, the Isle of Man and Jersey. Commission chair Sir Howard Davies has also predicted there could be up to a dozen new long-haul routes out of the expanded Heathrow to important emerging cities in Asia and elsewhere. Meanwhile, Heathrow says that early morning arrivals will end, and it may be that airlines BA, Cathay Pacific and Virgin Atlantic will have to delay their departures from Hong Kong until after midnight so they touch down not earlier than 05:30 in London. At the moment several flights from the Far East arrive before 5am each day. While most of the focus in the run-up to today's decision has been on Heathrow and rival Gatwick, there is also a further regional element in play. A body called Raba (Regional and Business Airports group), which represents smaller regional airports in the UK, has been backing Heathrow expansion. It has been predicting benefits for passengers and companies across the country if the Heathrow plans got the go-ahead. The body points out that in 1990, 18 UK regional airports had regular scheduled flights connecting their regions to Heathrow, but today there are just eight. Indeed, at present Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, not Heathrow, is the main hub airport for flights from UK domestic airports. Raba says that for three years it has been working with the Airports Commission and Heathrow to envisage a new domestic network that will give all parts of the UK access to the expanded Heathrow. ""With an expanded Heathrow, the value of the slots will come down, which will help,"" says Mr Calder. Regional airports will be looking to see two specific things from Heathrow, he says - lower charges for domestic links than for other short-haul flights, and the allocation of extra slots for domestic flights. Meanwhile, who will pay for the new runway to get it up and running roughly a decade from now? Heathrow says the taxpayer will pay ¡ê1.2bn for surface infrastructure that is deemed to benefit the wider travelling public (roads, trains etc) as opposed to just airport users, though the Airports Commission puts this figure at ¡ê5bn and Transport for London estimates the taxpayer will end up paying ¡ê15bn. But it is passengers over the coming years who will face increased charges to pay for most of the airport expansion. There is expected to be an increase in the per-departing-passenger fees Heathrow charges to airlines. It means airlines and passengers operating over the coming years may have to pay for infrastructure that they won't be able to use until 2025. And British Airways chief executive Alex Cruz said if Heathrow ""were to react very quickly saying from 1 January we're going to add ¡ê10 [to airport charges], we wouldn't react very well. ""We would very much oppose such a move.""","Heathrow expansion has been in a holding pattern over west London for decades , and confirmation that the UK 's largest airport has been given the go-ahead to build another runway does not necessarily @placeholder its arrival any time soon .",achieved,signal,denying,guarantee,renew

""The clause relating to National Hunt flat races refers specifically to races confined to amateur riders and conditional jockeys, however the clause relating to hurdle races refers only to races confined to amateur riders,"" said a BHA spokesman.

Norway's Lars Petter Nordhaug won last year's race and is back to defend his title, with British road champion Pete Kennaugh also in the Team Sky squad. By Matt Slater, BBC Sport: Sandwiched between older and bigger races, and forced to share its slot on the calendar with a key warm-up race for the Tour de France, the fledgling Tour de Yorkshire was always going to have to take baby steps to respectability. But the field for the second edition of the race suggests this baby is finding its feet. Sir Bradley Wiggins is back for the next stop on his farewell tour, as are last year's winner Lars Petter Nordhaug and French favourite Thomas Voeckler. Nordhaug's star-studded Team Sky are also bringing British duo Pete Kennaugh and Luke Rowe to give them a few options for victory. Their main opposition is likely to come from a strong Orica GreenEDGE line-up - Bury's Adam Yates, in particular - and the Giant-Alpecin team led by great French hope Warren Barguil. And if the men's roster looks like a step-up in quality on last year, the women's field is a giant stride forward, led by Yorkshire's very own world champion, Lizzie Armitstead.",Sir Bradley Wiggins will take time out from his Olympic track @placeholder to ride in the Tour de Yorkshire .,duties,preparations,thanks,trip,lost
+"As part of a discussion paper on the future of Defined Benefit (DB) pensions, it said financially ""stressed"" companies might be allowed to water down previous promises. About 5% of businesses are in that category, according to the green paper. As many as eleven million people are members of private sector DB schemes, which link pensions to salaries. In particular, some companies might be allowed to adjust the way they up-rate pension payments annually to compensate for inflation. Instead of using the Retail Prices Index (RPI), it could be that some companies would be allowed to use the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) instead, the government said. Since CPI is usually lower than RPI, it would save firms money. However, such a change could cost the average pensioner up to ?¡ê20,000 over the course of their retirement, according to the discussion document. Most public-sector Defined Benefit pensions schemes moved to the CPI measure in 2011. Steve Webb, who was a pensions minister under the Coalition government, said allowing such a change would be worrying. ""There is a significant risk that relaxing standards on inflation protection - with the best of intentions for exceptional cases - could be exploited and lead to millions of retired people being at risk of cuts in their real living standards,"" he said. In the paper, the government also raises the idea of temporarily suspending any sort of inflation indexation at all, when pension schemes are in serious trouble. Yet it admits this could raise ""moral hazard issues"", whereby companies might be tempted to deliberately increase their deficits to save money on pension pay-outs. Most DB pension schemes remain ""affordable"" for employers, the government said, even though most are currently in deficit. So the government's message to employers is unequivocal: most can clear their pension deficits if they want to. It said the total deficit of all DB schemes in January 2017 was ?¡ê197bn, down from ?¡ê459bn in August 2016. ""Our modelling suggests that these deficits are likely to shrink for the majority of schemes, if employers continue to pay into schemes at current/promised levels,"" the paper declares. ""While DB pensions are more expensive than they were when they were set up, many employers could clear their pension deficit if required."" DB schemes have declined over recent years, as employers have switched to more affordable defined contribution (DC) schemes, where pension payouts are linked to investment returns.

+"Media playback is not supported on this device Ten horses have died in the big race over the last 12 years. Four fences have been rebuilt using softer cores instead of the former rigid timber frame. Two outriders were used on Saturday to help with loose horses during two races over the National fences - the Becher Chase and the Grand Sefton Chase. Both races passed without serious incident and although there were fallers in each, there were no injuries to either horses or jockeys reported. John Baker, the regional director of Jockey Club Racecourses responsible for Aintree, said: ""We were delighted with how the Grand National fences jumped today, including the trial fences, and we had some fantastic feedback from the professionals."" Jockey Robert ""Choc"" Thornton said on Twitter: ""Great job done by Aintree racecourse and the BHA [British Horseracing Authority] with the fences. They rode great and are well presented."" Clerk of the course Andrew Tulloch was satisfied with the reaction to the fences. ""They seemed to get some favourable comments back from jockeys and it all went quite well,"" he said. ""We'll be sitting down and having a chat with the jockeys and assessing how we take things forward, if we take things forward, and take it from there."" Saturday was the first time the course had been used since April when the National had two equine fatalities for the second year in succession. While all 16 fences look the same, covered in spruce brought in from the Lake District, the heart of four obstacles has been changed. The third and 11th fences, which are open ditches, have been built using natural birch as its core, while the 13th and 14th (which are the last two fences second time round in the National) have plastic birch. ""We have traditionally had a rigid timber frame, which has foam padding along the leading edge, but is solid. We have replaced four of those with an alternative, which will be a bit more forgiving,"" Tulloch told BBC Sport. ""If the horse hits something solid at racing speed it can unbalance it and cause a fall, but now if horses knock the spruce off, there will be a softer frame underneath. Other horses should be able to brush through it without injuring themselves. ""If it is successful we will roll it out to the other fences. The fences are outwardly the same. We are not lowering them - that could potentially make the horses go quicker."" The move has been welcomed by the RSPCA equine consultant David Muir. ""It allows a horse to make a mistake and survive,"" he said. ""Previous to that when they hit the solid core of the fences, it took their legs away and it was down to luck whether they got over the other side and managed to get up again."" Several changes were announced in September for the Grand National following a safety review, but the field size will stay at a maximum of 40. The 2012 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Synchronised was one of two horses to die in this year's contest. Synchronised fell at the sixth fence, Becher's Brook, but continued riderless for another five fences before fracturing his leg. ""Everything in life has a risk and our job is to minimise those risks,"" said Tulloch. Following the safety review, the start of the National itself will be moved forward 90 yards, reducing the race to four miles and three-and-a-half furlongs, from four-and-a-half miles. Other measures include ¡ê100,000 being invested in irrigation to produce ""the safest jumping ground possible"" and a new bypass and pen around fence four to catch riderless horses.

+"Welsh meat promoter Hybu Cig Cymru said it was ""not realistic"" to attract enough new markets to make up for ""the likes of France, Italy and Germany"". It has this week helped broker a deal to supply 300 supermarkets in Canada, after ""a number of years"" of work. Currently more than 90% of Welsh red meat exports are destined for the EU. Dai Davies, chairman of HCC, said Wales had led the way in terms of lamb exports, selling more to markets beyond Europe than any other EU region. But he said it could take years to have a ""breakthrough"". ""When you get access to a market, the retailers don't suddenly go 'come on then'.  You have to displace someone else to get your product into a shop."" ""As far as the US is concerned, we've been involved in developing that market for the last eight years and we're still not there yet."" Unless a trade agreement is struck with the EU after Brexit, HCC claimed farm gate prices would drop significantly as exports would be subject to tariffs. For sheep meat, the current tariff rates are 12.8% plus ?¡ê1.50/kg (a??1.71/kg). That would ""have a considerable impact"", Mr Davies explained, arguing that politicians would need to react with some sort of ""cushioning effect"" through imposing similar tariffs on goods imported into the UK.

He told BBC Wales that farmers would ""have to learn to operate in a new world where there will not be a semi-protected market"".

""What we don't want is expensive, poorly focused subsidies helping big international businesses - often against the interests of the traditional farm and the consumer,"" he said.

Senegal's capital, Dakar, is a regional hub for West Africa and many doctors and medical supplies arriving from Europe or the US would pass through there before going to the affected countries. Dr Seck told the BBC that the countries surrounding those affected were a ""sentinel for the world"" and had a duty to stop the virus spreading further. But WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told the BBC's Newsday programme that the borders in the region were porous, so any ban would be ""impossible to enforce"".

+"The average annual comprehensive policy cost ¡ê462 in the last three months of 2016, according to the Association of British Insurers (ABI). Previously the highest figure was ¡ê443 in the spring of 2012. The rise comes in spite of government attempts to limit compensation payments and cut court costs. One reason for the increase is a rise in the cost of repairing cars that have been in accidents, because of their increasingly sophisticated electronics. Buying in spare parts is also getting more expensive, due to the weakness of sterling. The average repair bill has risen by 32% over the last three years to ¡ê1,678, the ABI said. The ABI warned that premiums were likely to increase further, if the government went ahead with plans to review the so-called discount rate. When accident victims are given a lump sum in compensation, the sum is discounted to make up for the extra investment return they are likely to receive. Since 2001 the discount rate has been 2.5% - based on investment returns from government bonds. If that rate is reduced, insurance companies will have to pay out more - thus increasing premiums. ""The sudden decision to review the discount rate has the potential to turn a drama into a crisis, with a significant cut throwing fuel on the fire in terms of premiums,"" said Rob Cummings, the ABI's head of motor and liability. The government said it would make an announcement as soon as possible. ""The Lord Chancellor has decided to review the discount rate to ensure personal injury claimants are fairly compensated,"" said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice. ""Due to ongoing consultation it is not yet possible to announce the review's outcome.""

Personal injury claims, such as whiplash, have also become more expensive, rising by 2.3% over the last year, the ABI said. However, the government is currently consulting on plans to cap compensation payments to accident victims, which it says could reduce annual premiums by ¡ê40 a year.

South-East Asia has been particularly hit hard this year by the haze, an annual occurrence. It has caused serious health issues, particularly among those living in the epicentres Kalimantan and Sumatra. Mr Pandjaitan said authorities had identified at least six provinces where children and babies could be evacuated, local media say, but any evacuation would depend on approval from President Joko Widodo.

+"Some youngsters fail to achieve the grades they need to get into university. Relatively few places are available to Scots through the clearing system which is designed to allocate ""spare"" places. Yet a week or so later, they may feel aggrieved to find places are available to applicants from other parts of the UK. The clearing system is a complex issue. It is far more subtle than a headline claiming a Scot is losing out to someone from England, Wales or Northern Ireland. It is the price of free tuition at Scottish university - a price the policy's supporters would say was worth paying. To put this in context though, the number of places at Scottish universities available to Scots is at an historic high. By this week the number of Scottish applicants accepted to Scottish institutions had reached 30,400 - 4% up on this time last year. However, this may be little consolation to those who have lost out on the course they actually wanted to do. Essentially there are now three groups of students at Scottish universities. This two tier system for Scottish and other UK students is the result of free tuition in Scotland. But universities strongly contend that comparing students in the different categories is like comparing apples with pears. They deny claims Scots are losing out to fee-paying students from elsewhere and say this shows a misunderstanding of the issue. Realistically the only way to end the distinction would be if tuition fees were re-introduced in Scotland or if free tuition was brought back in other parts of the UK. The former would mean Scottish universities would be free to take in as many Scots as they wanted.  The latter could end the distinction in the clearing system. Either would probably mean that there was no hard and fast distinction between Scottish applicants and prospective students from other parts of Britain. Universities Scotland is calling for discussions with the government over the total number of places available to Scots.

+"Insurgents killed about 70 villagers after taking Ajrestan district late on Thursday night after a week of battle. A spokesman for the provincial governor said 15 people suspected of collaborating with authorities were beheaded, including women. The Taliban is active in many parts of Ghazni, an important gateway to the capital, Kabul, from the south-east. Fighting is continuing as security forces try to regain the district but officials fear surrounding districts are now vulnerable to attack. Some analysts say that control of Ajrestan also provides militants with a launching pad for attacks into adjacent provinces in the east of the country. Ajrestan is a small town surrounded by about 100 villages in a predominantly rural area. Earlier this month militants killed 10 people when they attacked a government compound in Ghazni. The fall of the district comes days before Afghanistan's new president Ashraf Ghani is due to be inaugurated. He secured the position after striking a unity deal in which runner-up Abdullah Abdullah will nominate someone to a post similar to that of prime minister. The power-sharing deal was announced last week after months of tension following disputed presidential elections. Foreign combat forces are set to withdraw troops by the end of 2014 with control being transferred to Afghan national forces. The Afghan army has seen a rise in the number of casualties as it increasingly takes over the battle against Taliban militants from US-led foreign troops.

Zynga, whose titles have more than 200 million active monthly users, makes 95% of its money through Facebook. It publishes four of the top five games played on the social networking site. Keza MacDonald, UK games editor at IGN.com, says moving away from Facebook could have significant effects down the line. She said: ""If Facebook games like Zynga launch their own platforms rather than hosting games exclusively on Facebook itself, it undermines Facebook's credibility as a gaming platform which could shift the emphasis on social gaming.

Her salary stayed the same, but she was awarded ¡ê125,000 for ""loss of office,"" the latest university accounts reveal. The University has refused to comment. The battle between Ms Purcell and former chairman William Taylor left the institution without a vice-chancellor or chairman in 2014, leading to ""fractured"" relationships which put the governance of a university ""in peril"", according to a report published last year. Mr Taylor, a retired judge, resigned from his post of chairman following claims of sexual harassment, which he denied.

That fall-out might include hurt feelings or damage to reputation; the shift from vice-chancellor to president publicly watered down her authority. Reportedly, the former chairman of governors, the retired Judge William Taylor, also received a ""substantial"" pay-off from the university after he became embroiled in the dispute and resigned in order to ""put the interests of the university first"".

+"One of those letters -  written by my great-great-uncle, Benjamin Bennett Leane - was read by Prince Charles to the crowd gathered in the cold dawn at Anzac Cove. With his brother (my great-grandfather) and three other brothers, Benjamin served at Gallipoli. The 26-year-old kept a diary during the war which he addressed to his young wife Phyllis. They had been married less than three years and his battlefield missives were his way of talking to her. Two days before the fateful morning when the Anzacs landed on the shores of Gallipoli, Benjamin, then a captain in the Australian army, wrote a letter to Phyllis that he feared would be his last. ""In case the worst happens and I am unable to make any more entries I will take this opportunity to bid you 'goodbye,' dear girl,"" he told Phyllis. ""Know that I died loving you with my whole heart and soul, dearest wife that a man ever had. Kiss little Gwen and our new baby, who perhaps I may never see, and never let them forget Daddy."" He asked Phyllis to be patient with his mother, told his wife she must eventually consider remarrying, and said he was not afraid to die. But in his later diary entries the horrors of the war are clear. He records seeing men ""weeping like babies"" and ""cowering at every explosion"". One incident he recalls is particularly poignant. A young message runner returns from the fighting ""looking like a maniac,"" calling for Captain Leane but unable to recognise the officer.  The boy has dug himself out of the earth following several explosions that kill the other six runners with him.

Once a close ally of the American CIA, he became passionately anti-US. After the 11 September attacks, he was seen as a prominent apologist for Osama Bin Laden and jihadi groups. He was seen as a hero by pro-army, right-wing clerics and politicians. His critics say he reflected an aggressive and often delusional military mindset. Gen Gul derived much of his significance from his brief two-year stint as director-general of the ISI. The late eighties were a crucial time in the region. The Afghan war against the Soviets was coming to an end and the Kashmiri insurgency against India was starting. In Pakistan, Gen Gul's mentor President General Zia ul-Haq died in a mysterious plane crash in August 1988, paving the way for first party-based national polls in eleven years. As Pakistan's chief spymaster, Gen Gul played a key role in influencing and shaping those events. His supporters credit him with diverting fighters, funds and guns from the Afghan Jihad to the Kashmir front. At home, he was accused of rigging the 1988 election by propping up a hardline Islamist alliance to prevent Benazir Bhutto from coming into power.","A former chief of Pakistan 's @placeholder military intelligence , Hamid Gul , has died at the age of 79 .",powerful,main,unique,rare,prestigious
+"Mr Piech had criticised his chief executive in an interview with the German news magazine Der Spiegel, but did not specify the issue at stake. Mr Winterkorn has been widely tipped as VW's next chairman. Mr Piech and the Porsche family control 51% of VW. Volkswagen is the biggest car manufacturer in Europe. On 17 April, Volkswagen's five-member governing board gave its backing to Mr Winterkorn. Board member Wolfgang Porsche, a cousin of Mr Piech, said he had given his ""personal opinion"" without clearing his remarks with other family members. Mr Piech, 78, is a former VW chief executive. His wife Ursula has also resigned her seat on the board. In a statement (in German), Volkswagen said that deputy board chairman Berthold Huber would serve as interim chairman.

+"South Korean and US experts reached the conclusion based on data recovered from the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said on Thursday that the finding was ""clear military provocation"". Pyongyang had denied owning the drones, which were found in different locations in South Korea between March and April. Last month, South Korean officials said a preliminary investigation showed that the drones were from the North. ""By analysing the data, the joint investigation team has secured the smoking gun - clear, scientific evidence that all three UAVs originated from North Korea,"" the defence ministry's Mr Kim said. He added that all three were ""programmed to fly over"" military facilities, and that the new military threat required a stern response. South Korean Vice-Defence Minister Baek Seung-joo described the drones as very rudimentary. ""However, there is always the possibility that the North might use them for attacks after arming them with high explosives, considering its irrational and reckless tendency for provocative acts,"" he told journalists. One of the drones found in Paju, just south of the demilitarised zone that separates the two Koreas, had a camera that took pictures of military installations and South Korea's presidential compound, previous reports said. The two Koreas were divided at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty and they remain technically at war.

+"Aruna Shanbaug was left with severe brain damage and paralysed after the 1973 attack by a ward attendant in the Mumbai hospital where she worked. Her case sparked a debate about India's euthanasia laws. The Supreme Court had rejected a plea to allow her to die. Her attacker served a seven-year-sentence for attempted murder. Ms Shanbaug was 25 years old when she was sodomised by a KEM hospital cleaner who strangled her with metal chains and left her to die on 27 November 1973. She survived, but spent the rest of her life in hospital, force fed twice a day.

Every morning, the doctors and nurses used to care for her. They would do a medical check-up, followed by feeding her food and medicines. The rest of the day would be spent in ensuring that she was moved to avoid bed sores. Bouquet of flowers were placed near her body after it was brought to the hospital's central hall. A doctor told the BBC that Ms Shanbaug had become a ""family member"" for the hospital's staff. ""She was one of our own.

Ms Rudd and Mr Merriman said bus replacement services would ""minimise the impact"" of next week's strike. ""A failure to provide a bus replacement service sends out the signal that constituents closer to the coast are not treated with the same sense of urgency as those closer to London.

The team asked him to speed up, telling him he was putting the win at risk. ""In the heat of the moment, sometimes when you make decisions, you get them wrong,"" team boss Toto Wolff said. ""In our mind, the way we think, this race was giving us the same number of points as other races and we try to win that one - not considering that there was much more at stake for the drivers. ""How the race panned out, we should have communicated differently and in hindsight let them race in the way they deemed to be appropriate."" Wolff's remarks, in an interview with Sky Sports, draw a line under the controversy. The Austrian had said after the race win Abu Dhabi that he would take his time to consider what to do about Hamilton's disobedience and that ""everything is possible"". The team are still likely to discuss the issue with Hamilton at some point before the start of next season but there is no question of any disciplinary action being taken. Those talks will focus on the fact that the team still have to come up with ways of managing potential situations where a driver's individual objective does not align with those of the team. But in deciding to let the matter rest, Mercedes have effectively come to the conclusion that they did the wrong thing in Abu Dhabi for the right reasons. Their team philosophy is always to try to score a one-two for the team if possible - and that Hamilton was putting that at risk backing Rosberg up into Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and the Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo. But Wolff and executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe have accepted that it was not reasonable in the scenario of Abu Dhabi to make those calls.

+"The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said growing use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) and low staff levels had created a volatile environment. The report said: ""The increased availability of NPS in prison has led to some episodes of protracted rage."" The Prison Service said it had taken a number of steps to address concerns. The report - which covers from August 2015 until July 2016 - stated staff were ""overwhelmed"" and ""reluctant"" to  assert their authority. This created ""strained relationships"" between staff and inmates, leading to fights and injuries on both sides, the IMB found. Mark Fairhurst, from the Prison Officers' Association (POA), said: ""There's a lack of experience to guide them, there's no managerial presence because of the pressures our POA members face."" He added that since 2010, the service had shed 7,000 officers. Staff retention was also problematic as officers were left facing violent situations without any support, he said. POA members went on strike earlier this month in protest over staffing level concerns and the nationwide surge in prison violence. The Prison Service spokesman said: ""HMP Bristol has taken a number of steps to address the concerns raised by the Independent Monitoring Board, including refresher courses and new training for staff. ""The prison is also working to recruit new staff and anticipates being fully staffed early next year."" It added that an extra 2,500 extra frontline prison officers were being brought in to reduce violence and tackle use of drugs, drones and mobile phones. In May, the chief inspector of prisons, Peter Clarke, warned synthetic drugs - which were made illegal in the UK in May - were ""destabilising"" some prisons. The IMB's report on HMP Bristol described how NPS usage affected inmates there. It said: ""The effects vary greatly from, at one end, unprecedented and unpredictable violence and, at the other, a reduced state of consciousness.""

+"While promising a fierce fight to the end, IS prepared the way in its propaganda for its military defeat in the city. The group began to shift its messaging in May 2016 amid losses in its Iraqi and Syrian heartland, saying that victory was not determined by territorial hold but persistence in faith. It emphasised its enduring ideological reach, insisting that the group was invincible even if it faced what it portrayed as temporary setbacks on the ground. IS cited a military official as saying the group had begun readying for its battle to defend Mosul from the first day it captured the city, suggesting the group knew its hold on the city could never last. Following the launch by Iraqi forces of the operation to recapture Mosul in October 2016, IS has played up the strength of its affiliates in other countries. It recently suggested that the capture of parts of the city of Marawi in the Philippines by pro-IS militants in May was reminiscent of its capture of Mosul, indicating that the symbolic centre of its so-called ""caliphate"" could be revised. The group noted that a precursor had lost control of areas of Iraq in 2007 but resurfaced much stronger. IS has demonstrated its ability to carry out attacks in various parts of Iraq outside Mosul, with a current offensive near Qayyara to the south of the city diverting attention from its crumbling ""caliphate"". It has issued multiple calls for attacks worldwide, and in June claimed a third attack in the UK and its first attacks in Iran and Israel. In the course of the battle for Mosul, IS has often said the city would prove to be a graveyard for its enemies. But on 7 July it described Mosul's Old City as a graveyard for thousands of civilians, blaming their suffering on US-led coalition bombardment. This served its narrative depicting an alleged global war against Sunni Islam. IS used the destruction in Mosul - including the landmark Great Mosque al-Nuri and Hadba minaret, reportedly orchestrated by the group itself - to serve its own ends. It boasted about the fierce resistance its members had put up in the city over almost nine months, against an array of powerful enemies. It also gloated about the material and human cost visited upon its foes. In a recent recognition of its demise in Mosul, the group said it planned to apply lessons derived from the protracted battle to future fronts in its unending war.

+"Media playback is not supported on this device In Saturday's earlier game Ireland travel to Italy determined to bounce back after their opening defeat by Scotland, while on Sunday Vern Cotter's buoyant Scots travel to Paris, where they have not won since 1999. But the undoubted highlight of the weekend is the 130th edition of Wales and England, a fixture that was first played in 1881. ""You go to the hotel and unless you take steps, players get rung incessantly through the night. Those things happen,"" Jones said. ""You go to the ground and the traffic controller drives slower than the traffic's going to make sure you're late. ""You get to the ground and there's something wrong with your dressing room - there's lights off or the heater's switched off. ""You can't check because they traditionally tell you one thing and something else happens. It happens regularly in South Africa and it happens regularly in Wales."" Media playback is not supported on this device Even before Jones aired his concerns the occasion was always likely to be a high-octane affair as, given their long-standing history and neighbourly rivalry, Wales playing England in Cardiff is among the most emotive occasions in world sport. Wales' assistant coach Robin McBryde believes that the fierce rivalry is an inevitable consequence of the shared history and proximity of the two nations. ""We are neighbours, aren't we? I have got two English brothers-in-law,"" he said ""It is that English-Welsh rivalry, and wanting to get the better of your neighbour. It's as simple as that."" England have 60 victories to Wales' 57 in the teams' 129 matches with nine draws. However, Wales have a 60% winning record against England in Cardiff. Jones, whose side have won a national record 15 Tests in a row, has been merrily making mischief since the narrow opening win over France last weekend, suggesting earlier this week that the Welsh are ""a cunning lot"". Saturday's match is the sort of occasion which prompts week-long debates about whether the roof on the Principality Stadium will be open or closed. Wales wanted it closed, to ramp up the noise inside the 72,000-capacity stadium which is renowned for its vertiginous stands and electric atmosphere. Media playback is not supported on this device England, as the away side, had the final say under Six Nations rules and - having said he was not bothered one way or the other earlier in the week - Jones has opted for it to be left open. While the Australian has been stoking the flames, the hosts have been more circumspect - although Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards was moved to compare Jones to legendary former Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough. Media playback is not supported on this device And despite his barbs the England head coach has not been short of compliments, praising the Principality stadium's ""amazing atmosphere"". He added: ""How could you not want to play rugby there? ""It is one of the greatest rugby countries in the world, so to play Wales in Cardiff with that sort of atmosphere is one of the great delights of rugby."" Wales have injury worries about winger George North - who is chasing a new record of scoring a try in six championship games in a row - and fly-half Dan Biggar and both will have fitness tests on matchday. Media playback is not supported on this device But there is some good news for them, with world class number eight Taulupe Faletau back in action, although he only makes it as far as the bench after injury. England have made two changes from the team that edged past France, with winger Jack Nowell recalled and back rower Jack Clifford handed just his second England start as Jones searches for more ball carrying options. Scotland have lost nine successive games on French soil since they won 36-22 at the Stade de France in 1999 on the final weekend of their triumph in the last Five Nations championship. How their forwards match up against a formidably physical French pack could be key to halting that losing run. Scotland flanker Hamish Watson, who weighs in at a relatively lightweight 15st 12lb, says he is confident that he and his team-mates can meet the challenge. Media playback is not supported on this device ""They are a big pack and will pose us a different threat to Ireland, We know they are going to scrum well and have been concentrating on that,"" he said. ""But it's nothing we can't deal with, so I think it will go well."" France coach Guy Noves believes that counterpart Vern Cotter's work is bearing fruit as he approaches the end of his stint with Scotland. Gregor Townsend will take over in June. ""We will mainly adapt to the Scottish rugby that you have seen evolve for four years - a game based on commitment, speed, aggression, with players who have gained confidence in a highly organised collective,"" he said. Scotland have made one change with the starting line-up that beat Ireland with John Barclay coming in at blind-side flanker to replace Ryan Wilson, who is out with an elbow infection. Ireland coach Joe Schmidt will make sure his side are at Rome's Stadio Olimpico in plenty of time for the weekend's opening fixture as he feels that their late arrival at Murrayfield last week contributed to their lacklustre start to the match. Ireland, whose team bus turned up about 15 minutes late after its police escort reportedly guided it away from an agreed route, conceded three tries in the first half hour to trail by 16 points. ""I don't think it was apathy, there was a bit of anxiety at not having had the full period to warm-up,"" said Schmidt. ""Players get anxious, they get very routine-based and I do think it's a challenge for a professional player that they can be adaptable in different circumstances, so they can still start well and cope."" Schmidt has kept faith with fly-half Paddy Jackson at 10 with Johnny Sexton still returning to fitness after a calf injury picked up playing for Leinster in January.

Caixin's latest article, which is now offline but still available to read as a cached version online, reported that the ""government censorship organ"" the Cyberspace Administration of China had deleted an interview on its Chinese-language site on 5 March. The interview was with Jiang Hong, a delegate from the advisory Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who said members should be allowed to speak freely, but because of ""certain events, everyone is a bit dazed and doesn't want to talk too much"".

+"The disparity between forecasts and the eventual Conservative majority has been blamed on ""shy Tory"" voters or a late swing to David Cameron's party. But polling expert John Curtice highlighted sampling ""deficiencies"". His report said ""more time and effort"" was needed to find Conservative voters. Pre-election polls had suggested the result was too close to call, but the Conservatives went on to win an absolute majority, with 331 seats. Prof Curtice, who wrote the report for research agency NatCen, suggested polling difficulties arose ""primarily because [pollsters] interviewed too many Labour supporters and not enough Conservatives"". NatCen interviewed 4,238 people between July and November last year for its British Social Attitudes Survey. It said it had made ""repeated efforts"" over the four months to make contact with the people it had selected to interview - and among those it was able to contact most easily, Labour had a six-point lead. However, among the harder-to-contact group, who took between three and six calls to track down, the Conservatives were 11 points ahead. ""Polls are conducted over just two or three days, which means they are more likely to interview those who are contacted most easily, either over the internet or via their phone,"" the report said. The report rejected the ""shy Tories"" argument, which suggests Conservatives are less willing to declare their voting intentions when asked. It said even when polling companies returned to respondents and asked how they had voted, they still put Labour and the Tories neck and neck. But the British Social Attitudes survey put the Conservatives 6.1 points ahead of Labour, close to the actual election margin of 6.6 points. Polling companies use a complex method to attempt to make their surveys representative, including weighting the responses to match the UK's demographic profile. The report said its random sampling method was more representative. Prof Curtice added: ""A key lesson of the difficulties faced by the polls in the 2015 general election is that surveys not only need to ask the right questions but also the right people.""

A trade union proposal aimed at saving about 500 jobs at the factory was rejected by management in January 2015. In a statement on the Ballymena plant, Robert Bisaillon, JTI UK's manufacturing vice president, said: ""JTI would like to extend its deepest thanks to all employees that are leaving the company over the coming days.

The statue of the Queen was created by sculptor James Butler, and inspired by the 1954 and 1969 portraits by Pietro Annigoni. The artwork was unveiled by Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow. Magna Carta was granted by King John on 15 June 1215, establishing that the king was subject to the law rather than being above it. It paved the way towards modern rights and freedoms, and was sealed by the king at Runnymede. The Foreign Secretary and Conservative MP for Runnymede, Philip Hammond, who was also at the unveiling, told the invited guests that the Queen was the ""ultimate refinement"" of constitutional monarchy. ""While John represented arguably the worst of monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II represents undoubtedly the best of monarchy,"" he said.

+"The EcoHealth Alliance in New York looked at mammals, the viruses they harbour and how they come into contact with people. It revealed bats carry more potential threats than other mammals. The researchers hope the knowledge could be used to prevent the next HIV, Ebola or flu. Some of the most worrying infections have made the jump from animals to people - the world's largest Ebola outbreak seemed to start in bats, while HIV came from chimpanzees. The researchers' challenge - and it was far from easy - was to predict from where the next could emerge. They looked at all 586 viruses known to infect 754 species of mammal. This included 188 zoonotic infections - those that have infected both humans and other mammals. But they also knew some species had been studied in incredible detail while others had been practically ignored. So the researchers used the information they did know to fill the gaps in their knowledge and estimate which species were harbouring viruses with the potential to infect people. The study, published in the journal Nature, predicts 17 zoonotic infections in every species of bat and 10 in every species of primate and rodent. The team then mapped the ranges of species and the infections they carry to work out where the world's danger zones are. The threat from rodents was again global, but with a concentration in South America. Dr Kevin Olival, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: ""The missing hotspots are different for different groups of mammals in different parts of the world, but the bat signal overwhelms some of the others. ""But I'm not scared of bats, it's not the bat's fault."" The researchers hope their maps will help the world prepare for the next infection that makes the jump. Dr Olival added: ""Our take-home message is these diseases are emerging because of the human impact on the environment. Our answer is minimise our contact with wildlife, including through hunting and habitat destruction."" James Lloyd-Smith. from the University of California, Los Angeles, said: ""Although most pandemics are zoonoses, most zoonoses do not cause pandemics. ""[The] predictions are best used to prioritise research and viral surveillance efforts, not to drive specific policy decisions.""

+"The episodes are believed to have been uploaded to file-sharing sites across the net after US media firm Netflix refused to pay a ransom. The shows were due to be released officially from 9 June onwards. The hacker who stole the episodes said they had also managed to steal series from other broadcasters including ABC, Fox and National Geographic. Netflix told Entertainment Weekly that it was ""aware of the situation"" and added: ""A production vendor used by several major TV studios had its security compromised and the appropriate law enforcement authorities are involved."" The FBI is also believed to be looking into the theft which is believed to have taken place in late 2016. The hacker behind the theft uses the alias The Dark Overlord and before now has largely targeted hospitals and other healthcare institutions.

+"The controversial drug room was opened by Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo and Health Minister Marisol Touraine on Tuesday. It is near the Gare du Nord, a busy station where drug crime is common. The users will exchange hard drugs like heroin and crack for substitutes, along with sterile injection kits. Critics fear it could fuel drug abuse. Ms Touraine said France had become the tenth country to set up drug rooms, which Switzerland pioneered in 1986. There are plans to open two more - in Strasbourg, eastern France, and Bordeaux in the south-west. ""This is a very important moment in the battle against the blight of addiction,"" Ms Touraine said. One of the chief arguments for such places is that they put addicts - often poor, marginalised and sick - in touch with medics and social workers, who can help them. Consuming substitute drugs in a clean environment also reduces the risk that addicts face from contaminated hard drugs bought from criminal dealers. The Paris facility is in the Lariboisiere Hospital, and has a separate entrance. It will formally open its doors to addicts on Friday, and about 200 are expected there daily. The addicts will have to register, but are not obliged to give their real name, and will not be pursued by police for going there. The facility has a dozen cubicles affording some privacy to addicts when they inject. It is run by Gaia, an association that helps to treat addicts, and the annual running cost is put at €1.2m (¡ê1.1m; $1.3m). A leading Paris politician in the centre-right Republicans party, Philippe Goujon, is among the opponents who fear the initiative will undermine efforts to stop the hard drugs trade. ""We're moving from a policy of risk reduction to a policy of making drugs an everyday, legitimate thing. The state is saying 'you can't take drugs, but we'll help you to do so anyway,"" he told the daily Le Figaro (in French). According to French health ministry data from 2011, more than 10% of drug abusers in France have HIV/Aids and more than 40% are infected with hepatitis C. Dirty needles and unprotected sex are the main routes for virus transmission.

+"The Campaign for Better Hospital Food said NHS Trusts routinely rated their own food highly. But patient surveys showed nearly half of people were dissatisfied with what they were offered to eat. The campaigners want mandatory standards introduced for hospital food, like those which already exist for prisons and schools. In the past, NHS staff in England have carried out annual assessments of the quality of hospital food. In 2011 they rated nearly 98% of meals as ""good"" or ""excellent"". The inspection system is now changing, but the Campaign for Better Hospital Food points to a survey of more than 64,000 patients carried out by the regulator, the Care Quality Commission, earlier this year. In that survey just 55% of patients said the food they had been served was ""good"". Alex Jackson, co-ordinator of the Campaign for Better Hospital Food, said existing policies that regulate food served in prisons and schools should be extended to hospitals. ""It is time for the government to come clean about the sorry state of hospital food in England and set mandatory standards for patient meals. ""This would only involve extending an existing policy which has seen it set mandatory standards for prison food and food served in government departments, to go alongside those that already exist for school food. ""Surely patients recovering in hospital have the same right to good food as government ministers, school kids and prisoners?"" Campaigners point to hospitals such as Darlington Memorial, where the award-winning food is locally sourced and cooked on site. Through buying in bulk and cutting down on waste, the hospital manages to stick to a very tight budget of around ?¡ê2.60 per patient per day. Patient Concern called the findings ""shocking"". It called for protected cash for hospitals to be spent on better meals. Roger Goss, co-director of Patient Concern, said: ""If managements are deliberately misleading us on hospital food, on what else are we being misled? Patient safety? Quality of care?"" In a statement, a spokesman for the Department of Health in England said there were many examples of good food across the NHS. ""But we recognise that there is too much variation across the country - that is why we have implemented a tough new inspection programme.

+"Aviva's lease for its Pitheavlis site was due to expire before the end of next year, prompting local concern that the company might relocate to Glasgow. The firm has now confirmed it is buying the building for an undisclosed sum after reviewing its property strategy. The Scottish government welcomed the decision. Aviva said buying the Pitheavlis building to serve as a centre of excellence for Aviva's UK general insurance business was ""the best option from an economic, employee and customer care point of view"". There are currently 1,300 staff at the site, although some jobs there could be at risk. In April, Aviva revealed plans to cut 6% of the company's workforce worldwide over the next few months. The cost-cutting move will see about 2,000 people in the UK, Europe and Asia lose their jobs. Ian Ferguson, chief underwriting officer for Aviva's intermediary and partnerships business, said the site purchase confirmed Aviva's ongoing commitment to Perth. ""This purchase meets Aviva's immediate financial needs whilst providing long-term benefits,"" he said. ""This is a sensible, sustainable purchase that supports our financial targets. ""The quality of our staff in Perth was another hugely compelling factor in choosing to remain here."" Finance Secretary John Swinney welcomed the news.

+"More than 20 ex-footballers have come forward with allegations of historical child sex abuse in the sport, and five police forces are investigating claims. But Bristow, 59, questioned why they did not ""sort out"" their abusers ""when they got older and fitter"". One of the ex-players, Steve Walters, was ""disgusted"" by Bristow's remarks. Writing on Twitter, Bristow, who was made an MBE in 1989, said darts players were ""tough guys"" and footballers ""wimps"". He added the victims should not be able to look themselves in the mirror for not ""getting their own back"" on their abusers in adulthood. Several former footballers have waived their right to anonymity in order to go public and raise awareness of alleged historical abuse in football, a step which has won praise from politicians, sport administrators and abuse charities. Walters has alleged he was abused as a youth player by convicted paedophile and former Crewe coach Barry Bennell. Media playback is not supported on this device Former Crewe player Andy Woodward was the first to speak out about the abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of Bennell.

Ex-England and Manchester City striker David White also says he is another victim of Bennell, while former Tottenham, Liverpool and England midfielder Paul Stewart also waived his right to anonymity to speak publicly about being sexually abused by an unnamed coach. Stewart said the sport could face allegations on the scale of the Jimmy Savile scandal. Bennell, who also worked for Manchester City, Stoke and junior teams in north-west England and the Midlands, was given a four-year sentence for raping a British boy on a football tour of Florida in 1994 and a nine-year sentence in 1998 for 23 offences against six boys in England.

+"Since 2010 Scottish courts have been prohibited from jailing people for three months or less unless there is no other way of dealing with them. The Scottish government has asked for views on whether that period should be extended and, if so, by how much. Ministers argue that short jail terms are ineffective and lead to high rates of reoffending. Figures have suggested 60% of those sentenced to less than three months are reconvicted within a year. In 2010 the government introduced, for the first time in Scots law, a presumption against short prison sentences of three months or less except where no other punishment would be appropriate. The SNP minority government at the time dropped a plan to impose a six-month limit because of fears it would be voted down by the opposition. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has now revived the proposal and called for ""bold action"" to stop offenders ""going in and out of prison time and time again and reoffending upon release"". Under the proposals, he has said offenders would serve their sentences in the community instead of being jailed and receive help for the causes of their offending behaviour, including drug or alcohol addictions or mental-health issues. Some have argued there should be a presumption against sentences of less than 12-months. But the Scottish Conservatives have criticised the move, saying it could lead to hundred of people convicted of crimes like housebreaking, handling offensive weapons or common assault ""walking free"".

The trust said it no longer had confidence tenant Mark Osborne was committed to its ""vision"" for the land. The Moorland Association expressed its ""sadness"" over the trust's decision. The National Trust added the termination does not amount to a complete ban on grouse shooting on its land, and confirmed Mr Osborne was not the man seen in the footage.

In February, two keepers were interviewed by the police in connection with an alleged incident involving a game keeper and a hen harrier decoy, but no charges were pressed. The trust told the BBC that it terminated the shooting leases at Hope Woodlands and Park Hall, in the High Peak area of the Peak District, as a result of this incident. The termination will come into effect from April 2018 - four years early. The BBC has made several attempts to contact Mr Osborne, but has so far not received a response. Andy Beer, of the National Trust, said: ""We have given the tenant 22 months' notice and will start the process of looking for a replacement in 2017.""

""It's also in fact a human rights issue and an equality issue because culture rights, the rights of people in Northern Ireland, should be implemented."" In the letter, Mr McCausland said he believes his department and the trustees ""share a common desire to ensure that museums are reflective of the views, beliefs and cultural traditions that make up society in Northern Ireland."" He says National Museums' contribution to the shared future agenda can best be achieved by ""practical measures"". Among these measures are consideration of how best to recognise the role of the Grand Lodge of Ireland and other fraternal organisations. He specifically mentions the ""Plantation to Power Sharing"" exhibition which is currently on at the Ulster Museum and suggests that the trustees should consider changes to the exhibition before the summer months. In terms of Ulster-Scots, Mr McCausland wrote that the local history exhibition should recognise the contribution of the Hamilton Montgomery Settlement, considered to be the most important event in Ulster-Scots history. The issue of the origin of the universe and the different theories explaining it was previously raised by Mr McCausland's DUP assembly colleague Mervyn Storey. He said that he wanted the views of creationists - the concept of God creating the universe in contrast to the scientific theory of evolution - to be represented in the exhibitions. Without specifically mentioning creationism, Mr McCausland's letter includes a request for the trustees to consider how alternative views of the origin of the universe can be recognised and accomodated.

+"The Local Government Association is asking that councils in England be freed from restrictions on the ability to borrow to fund new home building. It is also calling for powers to replace every council home that is sold off, as quickly as possible. The government said it was delivering on its commitment to replace all properties sold on a one-for-one basis. But in a submission to the Treasury, the LGA said the scale of the housing crisis demanded that action to fix the lack of affordable housing was taken immediately. ""The government's recent announcement of an additional ?¡ê5bn investment in the form of loans to private sector organisations and for building homes on surplus public land is a welcome step,"" the LGA said. ""However, councils are also well placed to bridge the gap between housing need and future building levels and are keen to see - and support - delivery at speed."" The LGA wants to hold talks with ministers over whether councils' housing revenue accounts  - the accounts covering rents and assets - could be removed from the public sector debt book so as to enable borrowing against these assets. ""This would allow local government to rapidly contribute new homes in the market, meet a wide range of local needs and generate significant medium and long term returns,"" it said. Councils also want powers to replace council homes that are sold off under Right to Buy arrangements. Currently, the government only allows local authorities to keep 30% of the cost for replacement council homes. This means councils cannot build replacements - especially as they are unable to borrow to fund the rest. The call comes as new figures were released on the sales of social housing. These revealed nearly 22,000 social housing dwellings were sold from 2015-16 - 12,557 by local authorities and a further 9,435 by housing associations. The sales amount to about 0.5% of the total stock of four million social houses in England. There was a particular spike in the percentage of housing association homes sold to private firms. This was up 46% and government statisticians said this was likely to be because of housing associations taking a more active approach to managing their assets. The Department for Communities and Local Government said it was delivering on its commitment to replace all properties sold on a one-for-one basis. ""As of June 2016, there had been 7,018 starts and acquisitions.

+"At 54 storeys high and the tallest residential skyscraper in Africa, Ponte City originally offered luxurious homes to the wealthy. But while it remains a landmark in Johannesburg, several transitions have left it looking far from how it did 39 years ago, when it was first built. South African photographer Mikhael Subotzky and British artist Patrick Waterhouse have documented the apartment block's journey from luxury flats to a refuge for immigrants, from a potential prison site to a derelict half-demolished shell occupied by those who are either squatting or awaiting eviction. They first had the idea to tell the story of the building and its colourful past in 2007 and began documenting the life of the residents over the next five years, interviewing the remaining tenants and photographing daily life in the dilapidated building. They say they aimed to create a visual ""before and after"" of the building, from its original plans to its more recent incarnation: a place that has ""come to symbolise urban decay"", perceived as ""the epicentre of crime prostitution and drug dealing in Johannesburg"". The results will be on show from Saturday 6 December at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh. The photographers came across this scene where three men were kneeling in prayer with Ponte City towering in the background. The hill site is used by many religious groups as a holy place. During their visits to the building, Subotzky and Waterhouse met many of the residents, some of whom invited the photographers to document their routines -some more intimate than others. This couple were getting ready to go out dancing for a night on the town. Subotzky and Waterhouse often photographed people in one of the many lifts that service the 54-storey Ponte City building; in this picture the young woman was on her way to a wedding.

This is the view from flat 5005, where Joe and Vaneshka live, just one of the many families residing in the tower.

+"So wrote HG Wells in a letter to the Times 80 years ago, in 1934. The author, famed for being an early pioneer of science-fiction writing, also had a strong interest in helping people with diabetes - because he was one of them. A year before, another letter from him had appeared in the newspaper appealing for funds to support the diabetes clinic at King's College Hospital in London. The letter to The Times Its success led the renowned thinker to believe people were willing to support a more adventurous enterprise. ""Something psychologically and socially valuable had been discovered: the latent solidarity of people subject to a distinctive disorder,"" he wrote in 1934. More prosperous people with diabetes were to be approached, to pay ?¡ê5 to become members of the Diabetes Association, which would then work for everyone with the condition. HG Wells wrote more than 100 books, including the science-fiction tales The Island of Dr Moreau, The Invisible Man and The Time Machine. But it was his doctor Robert Daniel (RD) Lawrence who persuaded him to lead the campaign to raise funds for diabetes. Dr Lawrence's clinic at King's College Hospital in London had become cramped and outdated, so in 1933 he asked some of his more affluent patients for contributions. Wells initially gave just 2s 6d to fund the association, pleading poverty. But when Lawrence complained, Wells wrote his first letter to the Times - appealing for others to contribute funds - and got the funding needed for new and improved facilities. Dr Lawrence had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1920, when there was no effective treatment and the condition was fatal. He moved to Italy, expecting to live out his last few years there. But in early 1923, he received a telegram from a colleague at King's Hospital London that said: ""Insulin, it works. Come quick."" His biographer and daughter-in-law Jane Lawrence tells how, by that point, he was ""dwindling away"" but he made it back across Europe and received his first dose of insulin in May of that year."" RD Lawrence went on to become a leading figure in forging understanding of diabetes as a condition and  fighting for those with it be able to live normal lives. His writings helped define how diabetes was viewed for decades. His book The Diabetic Life was first published in 1925, ran to 14 editions and was published in many languages. A practical guide to living with diabetes, The Diabetic ABC, was published in 1929. Forming the Diabetic Association was part of that. Dr Lawrence was elected chairman - a position he held until 1961 - while HG Wells became president. Jane Lawrence says: ""This was the first patient-centred association in the world. It was so unusual in those days where the doctor was 'god'."" Not long before this, type 1 diabetes had been a death sentence. People with the condition needed insulin - and it was only used in humans in 1922. Diabetes UK Even in the 1930s, people would only have had access to insulin if they could afford it and life would not have been pleasant, even for them. They would have had to use large, thick needles to administer insulin, which was from animals and not fully purified and so there was a high risk of allergic reactions. Today, most insulin is made in laboratories. The needles they used would have needed to be washed and sterilised every day - as well as sharpened regularly. They were given a fixed amount of insulin - so would have to eat the right amount of food to counteract this, whether or not this left them feeling too full or still hungry. And their diet had to be around 70% fat. One of the association's first campaigns was for free access to insulin, well before the formation of the NHS. The organisation became the British Diabetic Association in 1954 and Diabetes UK in 2000. It is now a charity with an annual income of ?¡ê28m, with 300,000 supporters across the UK. There are 3.2m people diagnosed with the condition, and an estimated 630,000 who have diabetes, but don't know it. Around 90% have type 2, which usually develops over the age of 40 when people produce too little insulin - or the insulin produced fails to work properly. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor. Barbara Young, Diabetes UK's current chief executive, said: ""All of us who work at Diabetes UK are immensely proud of our heritage, as it is hugely inspiring to follow in the footsteps of an author of the stature of HG Wells and an eminent physician like RD Lawrence. ""Diabetes UK's work during the 80 years since Wells wrote his letter to the Times is one of the reasons why life for people with diabetes today is much better  than it was in 1934."" Wells was also prescient in seeing how the patient-group model might expand. In yet another prediction of the future, he envisaged the plethora of health groups we have now, writing: ""The experiment ... might not end with diabetics.""",""" It is @placeholder to form a diabetic association open ultimately to all diabetics , rich or poor , for mutual aid or assistance , and to promote the study , the diffusion of knowledge , and the proper treatment of diabetes in this country .

On Thursday evening, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said she would meet unionist and Orange Order leaders to discuss their call for a commission of inquiry into the issue of parades. Speaking on the BBC programme The View, Mr Nelson said the institution was doing what it could could to ensure peace. ""We are stepping up to the mark here to try and manage this situation,"" Mr Nelson said. ""If we did nothing, it would create a more volatile situation and increase the risk of violence and we are doing everything in our power to stop that. The Parades Commission, last week, ruled that the Ligoniel Orange Lodge should not make a return parade along a stretch of the Crumlin Road that separates unionist and nationalist communities on 12 July.

Other cuts include reducing the senior management team by a third, cutting ¡ê1.1m from youth services and offloading play centres. The drug and alcohol counselling service could become volunteer-led but seven libraries no longer face closure. Cardiff council leader Phil Bale said it was becoming impossible for the council to continue delivering services as they are. ""We have been heartened by the many groups that have come forward offering to volunteer and to help provide services in different ways in the future. ""But there's no getting away from the fact that austerity is driving us down a dark and miserable path that no one would choose to travel,"" he said.

+"Judge Shira Scheindlin said police chiefs ""turned a blind eye"" to evidence that officers had discriminated by race when making the stops. She did not order an end to the policy, but appointed an independent monitor to reform the practice. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would appeal the ruling. He warned it could end New York's tenure as ""America's safest big city"". About five million stops have been made by city police over the past decade. City officials have argued the policy has been key in reducing the city's crime rate. In 2012, police stopped and frisked 533,042 people on the streets of New York, up from about 115,000 in 2002, according to the Center for Constitutional Rights. That organisation brought the class-action lawsuit behalf of several New Yorkers who said they had been stopped without cause. About 87% of those were black or Hispanic. In about half of all cases, police merely asked questions. But in other cases authorities searched a bag or performed a full pat-down search. About 10% of searches reportedly result in arrests, and sometimes weapons were seized. During a 10-week trial, Judge Scheindlin heard from 12 people who had been stopped by police, as well as top officials with the NYPD. Lawyers had argued the NYPD policed itself through several internal processes. The judge rejected their arguments, writing in her opinion that paperwork by police alone showed at least 200,000 of 4.4 million stops between 2004-12 were made without reasonable suspicion. ""The city and its highest officials believe that blacks and Hispanics should be stopped at the same rate as their proportion of the local criminal suspect population,"" she wrote in her opinion.

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust said Lugg Meadow was the largest surviving land of its kind in the country. Bovis Homes said the council had recommended the plan for approval. The trust said Lugg Meadow was known as a ""lammas meadow"" - a historic form of land management which is still practised. Helen Stace, from the trust, said: ""We are seriously concerned about the impact of these buildings on the meadow. ""The proposed site is very close - it's about 20m [65ft] away.

Growing evidence that the world's economic powerhouse is slowing down has caused major investment market falls. Other indications that the economy is weakening can be seen in falling car sales and lower imports and inflation. Chinese manufacturers cut prices at their fastest pace in six years, largely on the back of a drop in commodity prices, which have dropped sharply over the past year as demand from China faltered. Last week, the Chinese Premier, Li Keqiang, said China remained on track to meet all its economic targets for this year despite the economic data. China has already cut interest rates five times since November to encourage lending and spur economic activity, along with other measures to boost growth. Premier Li pledged that China would take more steps to boost domestic demand and that it would implement more policies designed to lift imports. China recently revised down its 2014 growth figures from 7.4% to 7.3% - its weakest showing in nearly 25 years. For this year, the government is targeting annual economic growth of about 7%. Meanwhile, the Chinese authorities said they would take new steps towards a more market-based economic system by offering shares in state-owned businesses to private investors.

+"The Institute of National Anti-Doping Organisations (iNado) said the IOC's stance on doping was ""confusing"" and ""indefensible"". And iNado said the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) must be more independent from sporting authorities. Wada is co-sponsored by the IOC and international governments. Following the fallout of the Russian doping scandal talks are ongoing on what powers Wada should have to sanction entire countries or sports that breach the rules. The iNado chairman Doug MacQuarrie and chief executive Joseph de Pencier say that although the IOC seems to accept the need for a more independent Wada, by demanding ""equal representation"" on Wada's board and executive committee it was ""essentially arguing for the current system, which has repeatedly failed to make the rights of clean athletes the primary concern"". The organisation has called on the IOC to leave anti-doping to independent experts, which has been mooted as a means to avoid conflicts of interest. In an open letter they wrote: ""The inconsistency of messaging from the IOC on the matter of independence of Wada is confusing. ""If it is serious about empowering Wada to be free from the influence of sports organisations, the IOC must step back from its efforts to maintain its operational influence."" The pair also questioned the IOC's warning about ""national interests"" being as much of a problem for Wada as interference from sport, pointing out that the IOC itself failed to ban Russia from the Rio Olympics. ""This premise is indefensible... sadly, faced with the greatest example of 'national interests' subverting clean sport in the history of the modern Games - the misconduct of Russia - the IOC has yet to respond with any form of meaningful national sanction,"" they wrote. ""Why did it not ban Russia outright until that country gets its anti-doping house in order, as Wada recommended?"" The pair also criticised IOC president Thomas Bach's plan for an Independent Testing Authority (ITA) to run all the drug-testing at not only the Games, but across all Olympic sports, year-round. ""It would be far more timely, cost-effective and efficient to invest in current independent anti-doping capacity than to spend tens of millions on an entirely new body that preserves a conflict of interest,"" they wrote.

+"The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) will examine how Essex, North Wales and North Yorkshire handled information from Canadian police passed to the UK in 2012. Around 2,000 names were sent by Toronto Police to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP). The three forces referred themselves to the IPCC for investigation. The IPCC said it would now look at how that the intelligence - uncovered by officers from the international Operation Spade - was handled once it was received by the forces. Essex Police faces questions over how it dealt with information relating to Martin Goldberg, a teacher who took indecent photos of his pupils. Goldberg was found dead a day after being interviewed by the force. Police found hundreds of images of children getting changed on his computer. CEOP had been told about the deputy head in July 2012 but he was not interviewed by Essex Police until September this year. The IPCC wrote to all chief constables in England and Wales last month, asking them to review how they dealt with any information they had received relating to Operation Spade. North Yorkshire and North Wales Police subsequently referred themselves to the body. Cardiff paedophile Gareth Williams was among three names Canadian officers passed to North Wales Police in 2013.

+"The farmhouse has been  renovated - along with the Black Chair - awarded at the National Eisteddfod a few weeks after the bard's death in July 1917. He was killed on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium. A new exhibition and visitors' centre has also been built, and marks the impact of the war on the community. ""We are using Hedd Wyn as a hook really, to be able to tell all those wider stories,"" explained Sian Griffiths, who is managing the project for the Snowdonia National Park Authority. ""The story of the war, the First World War and its effect; about the culture, the language, the community, and how people lived at that time. ""So when people come to Yr Ysgwrn, they really do get a feel of how people used to live. ""It's a very different world now to what it was 100 years ago - we are taking people back in time a little bit and helping them understand how that community lived at that time."" Hedd Wyn was the bardic name of Ellis Humphrey Evans. He was 30-years-old when he died on the first day of the big push in what became the Third Battle of Ypres, as part of the 15th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers tasked with capturing Pilckem Ridge. But he was injured half way across, and died at a first aid post on 31 July, 1917. However, his story lives on. In September 1917, the National Eisteddfod was being held at Birkenhead on Merseyside. As today, the greatest prize and honour is to win the eisteddfod chair for poetry. In 1917, it was for the poem 'Yr Arwr' - 'The Hero'. When the winner's named was called out in the pavilion, there was no answer. Instead, the chair was draped in a black cloth, witnessed from the stage by the then prime minister and war-time leader David Lloyd George. ""No words can adequately describe the wave of emotion that swept over the vast audience when the chair was draped with the symbols of mourning,"" the Cambrian News and Merionethshire Standard newspaper reported at the time. The project to restore Yr Ysgwrn has seen the farmhouse itself completely gutted, with furniture removed, restored and replaced, to show just how it would have appeared during the time of Hedd Wyn. It even included taking samples of old wallpaper hidden under layer after layer of decorating, and having a new replica made to cover the kitchen walls. Upstairs, visitors can see the other bardic chairs won by the poet before his death, while in the parlour - pride of place - the Black Chair. After a decade in a dark and cold farmhouse, heated only by the kitchen fire, the chair had become fragile and damaged. It has taken more than a year to be restored by expert Hugh Haley in Carmarthen. ""Some bits of the chair had fallen off over the years and they needed to be restored and put back,"" said Ms Griffiths. ""It does look really, really nice."" A former barn, the Beudy Llwyd, has been transformed into a visitors' centre, exhibition area and cafe funded by the park authority and Heritage Lottery Fund since it was acquired in 2012. Another farm building, the Beudy Ty, is home to a display that marks the memory of every single solider from the area killed in the Great War, and provides a place for quiet reflection. The farm itself remains home to the man responsible for keeping the memory of Hedd Wyn alive - his nephew Gerald Williams. He has kept the door open to the farmhouse and the Black Chair since 1954. Now 88-years-old, he is delighted to see both the house and the chair returned to their former glory. ""They've brought the furniture back now and it looks more like it used to be in the old days,"" he says. ""Before it was very bare and I didn't like it, because I'd seen it full of life.

He added the new rules would be ""a shame"", saying ""there have been street musicians in Chester for hundreds and hundreds of years"". But Frank, who occasionally plays his harmonica in the city for fun, is in favour of the rules. ""If we're overcrowded with buskers and it's just a mash of sound, it's not very good for the public anyway,"" he said.

+"Israel has expressed its disappointment at the decision which it says will not advance the peace process. Talks between the Palestinians and the Vatican - which favours a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - have gone on for 20 years. President Abbas meets the Pope this weekend when two 19th Century Palestinian nuns will be canonised. The Vatican is eager that property and civil rights of the Catholic Church in the Palestinian state is protected, correspondents say. According to the New York Times, it has strong religious interests in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories that include Christian holy sites. The BBC's David Willey in Rome says that Pope Francis is making every effort to strengthen the Christian presence in the Middle East at a time when hundreds of thousands of Arab Christians are fleeing Islamist violence. The Vatican's announcement comes amid growing momentum to recognise Palestinian statehood. Over the last year the European Parliament as well as the UK, Republic of Ireland, Spain and France have all passed non-binding motions in favour. Sweden has gone further, officially recognising Palestine as a state. The moves have been criticised by Israel, which says recognition of statehood in this way discourages Palestinians from resuming talks on a final status agreement. The agreement on Wednesday will define Catholic Church activities in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority, the Holy See said on Wednesday. A joint statement released by the Vatican said that the wording of the treaty had been finalised and would be officially signed by the respective authorities ""in the near future"". Similar separate negotiations have also been going on for two decades between the Vatican and Israel, but so far without reaching full agreement. This weekend President Abbas will have talks with Pope Francis at the Vatican, and on Sunday he will be attend a canonisation ceremony during which two Palestinian nuns who lived in the 19th Century - when Palestine was part of the Ottoman empire - will be declared saints. They will be the first new saints from the Arab world to be named since the early days of Christianity.","The Vatican is to formally recognise Palestinian statehood in a treaty that will be signed @placeholder , officials say .",eventually,shortly,indefinitely,tomorrow,annually
+"Manchester-based firm Inventid designed the SM100 solar light, which retails for $5 (?¡ê3.85) in African countries. It was developed in collaboration with China's Yingli and charity Solar Aid. The hand-sized lamp runs for eight hours when fully charged. As well as a stand, it has strap slots so it can be used as a head torch or tied to a bike. The SM100 was trialled with 9,000 families in three African countries, Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia, and the new light is now on sale. Kerosene burning lamps remain the sole source of lighting for some 600 million people living without electricity in Africa. But they are expensive to run and there is the constant danger of potential fires. ""Kerosene keeps families locked in a cycle of extreme poverty with almost one quarter of their monthly income spent burning the fuel,"" explains Inventid co-founder Henry James. ""To break this cycle we worked with Solar Aid, the UK's leading solar charity to design a light that the poorest families could afford. This meant designing a light that could retail for $5 in Africa."" Inventid, co-founded by Mr James and Bryn Morgan in 2012, worked closely with charities in Africa to develop the light. ""We gathered local insights into family routines, the layout of dwellings and environmental conditions. We listened to the aspirations and ideas of people whose personal experiences have shaped a product that is co-created in Africa,"" Mr James said. ""We are talking about parts of the world where people live on $350 a year. ""We have never heard of a sales trial this so far-reaching.

+"Rakuten is accused of being the world's largest online retailer for elephant ivory, but will now phase out its sale. The trade is legal in Japan for items imported before 1989 - but no new stock can be brought into the country. Many other countries have banned the trade outright over concerns that it contributes to elephant poaching. Rakuten also banned the sale of sea turtle products on its site, telling AFP news agency it was responding to ""growing international concern"". ""We expect it will take 1-2 months for all listings of these prohibited products to be removed,"" it said. On the day of the announcement, a large number of ivory items were still listed for sale, including many carved personal seals known as ""hanko"". Sellers of such items are expected to maintain careful records of their origin, and use only government-regulated ivory stockpiles. But activists believe the rules are often circumvented and the precious material is often smuggled across borders. Yahoo Japan, another site which allows the sale of ivory, has previously come under fire for the practice. However, a spokesman told Reuters it did not plan to halt the trade, saying: ""We don't think that the legal ivory trade in Japan has any impact on African elephant numbers."" ""It is important to recognise there are cultural differences between different countries,"" he added. African elephant numbers have plummeted in the last century, and there are an estimated 500,000 remaining on the continent. China, a traditional powerhouse in the ivory trade, announced in December that it would ban all ivory activities and trade by the end of 2017.

+"The Russian government expects a 0.8% decline in GDP next year, compared with 0.6% GDP growth in 2014 as a whole. The rouble fell to a rate of 57 to the dollar on Monday, a fall of more than 6%, after some gains last week. Russia's economy, heavily reliant on energy exports, has been hit by the oil price slump and Western sanctions. The sanctions, imposed because of Russian support for separatists in eastern Ukraine, target the oil and gas industries as well as banks, arms manufacturers and the wealthy elite close to President Vladimir Putin. Russia blocked most imported Western food in retaliation for the measures. The rouble has lost half its value against the dollar this year. The Russian ministry for economic development said the manufacturing, construction, agriculture and service sectors all contracted in November. Energy, mining and the retail trade showed continued growth. President Putin signed a law on Monday doubling the deposit guarantee for bank accounts, to 1.4m roubles (?¡ê16,290; $25,370). The last time Russia suffered a major economic crisis, in 1998, many ordinary Russians saw their bank savings wiped out. Mr Putin has also given the Russian central bank the power to recapitalise the country's biggest retail bank, Sberbank, directly with soft loans. The total must not exceed Sberbank's capital as measured on 1 January 2015. The ""subordinated debt"" issued by the central bank, if Sberbank needs it, will not have to be repaid until other loans have been paid off. It is a cushion in case Sberbank gets into financial difficulty.

+"I paraphrase the Welsh Labour reaction to the leak of a draft of the party's UK manifesto. ""Reports of leaked manifestos relate to an old, draft version of a UK document,"" said a spokesperson. ""It is not Welsh Labour's manifesto and contains many England-only proposals. Welsh Labour will be publishing its own distinct manifesto, building on the success of our five pledges for Wales."" The draft obtained by the BBC often does not say explain whether policies apply in Wales, Wales and England, or throughout the UK. It relies on the reader having more than a working knowledge of devolution. There is one paragraph under the heading ""Wales"" that does not reveal any new policies. There is no commitment to the devolution of policing, to scrapping Severn crossing tolls or the Swansea tidal lagoon - all issues that have a significance beyond Wales. That said, it is too easy to look only for references to ""Wales"" in the document - in any document - and ignore the impact of what is written in the rest of it. As Geraint Davies, who is defending Swansea West for Labour, put it: ""Many of these policies will have a direct bearing on Wales...a lot of these things do apply to England and Wales."" Scrapping plans to raise the retirement age, the public sector pay cap and benefit cuts would have a far greater impact on the daily lives of people in Wales than some of the policies that find their way onto Welsh pledge cards. How to pay for them is another issue - Labour says its final manifesto will be fully-costed.

Mr Justice Wyn Williams refused to give Mr Pendragon permission to launch a judicial review action, ruling that there was insufficient evidence to show that the Ministry of Justice might have acted unreasonably. Former soldier Mr Pendragon, 57, who changed his name by deed poll, was dressed in white druid robes and represented himself at the hearing. The cremated remains of more than 40 bodies, thought to be at least 5,000 years old, were removed from a burial site at Stonehenge in 2008 and ministers gave permission to allow the bones to be examined at Sheffield University until 2015. Mr Pendragon told the judge that the bones were remains of members of the ""royal line"" or ""priest caste"" who could have been the ""founding fathers of this great nation"". He said he did not believe the bones would ever be returned to the site, and that his views were not being taken into account. His allegations were denied by the Ministry of Justice.

But it is concerned that some people are  turning to cheap convenience foods instead. In the poll, many respondents said they bought ready meals, even though they knew these may contain high levels of saturated fat and salt. Victoria Taylor, senior dietitian at the BHF, said: ""Healthy eating on a budget is one of the biggest challenges of our times. With the increasing cost of a weekly shopping basket it's a real concern that despite people's best intentions, they're struggling to eat healthily."" The BHF says people should think about inexpensive ways to make healthy meal choices, such as using canned or frozen fruit and vegetables which may be cheaper alternatives to fresh produce. Likewise, vegetables tend to cost less than meat so, the charity suggests, people could try adding more vegetables to meat-based meals.

+"A statement by Unicef and the World Health Organization says the number of suspected cholera cases in the war-torn country has exceeded 200,000. So far more than 1,300 people have died - one quarter of them children - with the death toll expected to rise. The two UN agencies say they are doing everything they can to stop the outbreak from accelerating. ""We are now facing the worst cholera outbreak in the world,"" the statement says. ""In just two months, cholera has spread to almost every governorate of this war-torn country,"" it says, with an estimated 5,000 new cases every day. Yemen's health, water and sanitation systems are collapsing after two years of war between government forces, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, and the rebel Houthi movement. The rebels control much of the country, including the capital Sanaa. Hospitals are overcrowded and severe food shortages have led to widespread malnutrition, making Yemenis - especially children - even more vulnerable to cholera. The UN says it is deploying rapid-response teams to go house-to-house telling people how to protect themselves by cleaning and storing drinking water. But clean water is in short supply. Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholera. Most of those infected will have no or mild symptoms but, in severe cases, the disease can kill within hours if left untreated. The war has left 18.8 million of Yemen's 28 million people needing humanitarian assistance and almost seven million on the brink of famine.","Yemen is now facing the worst cholera outbreak @placeholder in the world , the United Nations has warned .",yet,unexpectedly,slightly,anywhere,here

She said one couple, aged 75 and 80, were living 100 miles apart because one of the pair receives a widow's pension. Policing Minister Brandon Lewis said pensions must be fair and sustainable. Under the 1987 Police Pension Scheme, police widows and widowers who remarry, or move in with a partner, have their pensions revoked. In 2015, the UK government amended the rules to make an exception for spouses of officers killed in the line of duty, but only if they remarried or moved in with a partner after 1 April that year. Labour MP Ms Moon said ministers should not ""seek to profit"" by ""condemning 22,000 widows to a life of loneliness and isolation"" through the loss of police pensions. Referring to one couple affected by the ruling, she said: ""They want to spend their twilight years together without financial penalty - why are they being denied that right? ""We have to stop putting a price on love, and this government has to make sure that the widows and widowers, and their children, have access to the pension rights that were put there to protect them for the future."" Responding for the government, Mr Lewis said it recognised the risks faced by police officers as part of their job, pointing to the changes to the pension rules in 2015. But he said there was a difference with the armed forces, where the ""mobile nature"" of life made it difficult for the partners of service personnel to provide for their own financial future. ""The same combination of risk to life of the member and disruption to family life can not be said to apply to other public service workforces,"" Mr Lewis said. ""In the case of police officers, we do not believe it would be justified to make the same changes for all survivors of police officers.""

It added China's trade with North Korea was now roughly equal to its trade with Mongolia, which has an eighth of the population. China has banned the import of coal, iron ore, gold and rare earth minerals, and several other raw minerals from North Korea. It has also banned sales of jet fuel to North Korea. The fresh trade data was released as tensions rose following North Korea's latest test of a long-range missile, which it is believed was capable of reaching Alaska. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are preparing for meetings at the G20 summit in Hamburg, where North Korea's nuclear aspirations are expected to be high on the agenda. At a press conference in Poland before the summit, Mr Trump promised to confront North Korea ""very strongly"" and said the US was considering ""severe things"". US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has indicated the US might take a tougher line on countries that have economic ties to North Korea. China has called for restraint and made clear it did not want to be targeted by US sanctions. Last week Washington imposed sanctions on several Chinese businesses that it claimed were supporting Pyongyang. US authorities have also tried to seize millions of dollars from major US and European banks that might be linked to North Korea.

+"Heras, 43, tested positive for the banned substance erythropoietin (EPO) at the 2005 Tour of Spain and was suspended for two years by Spain's Royal Cycling Federation. The findings were overturned in 2011 and Heras sued the Spanish state in 2013 for 1 million euros but the compensation has been reduced. The Supreme Court said in a statement it rejected the Spanish state's appeal because the overturned sanction was the direct cause of Heras losing commercial and professional contracts. Heras' positive test was overturned in 2011 by a civil court in Castile and Leon, which ruled that irregularities had taken place in the analysis of blood samples in the investigation. The Supreme Court upheld that decision in 2012 and ordered Heras - a former US Postal team-mate of Lance Armstrong - be reinstated as the 2005 Tour of Spain winner. Armstrong, who retired from cycling in 2005 but then returned to the sport between 2009 and 2012, was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and given a lifetime ban by United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) in 2012.","Spanish @placeholder must pay ex-cyclist Roberto Heras 725,000 euros ( ¡ê 612,592 ) after the country 's Supreme Court rejected their appeal against his overturned positive doping test .",authorities,police,intelligence,lost,national
+"Callum Smith, 27, from Cheltenham was found hanged in his cell at HMP Bristol in March 2016. Avon Coroner's Court heard he had a history of mental illness when he was remanded in custody after threatening to burn down his mother's house. The Ministry of Justice said it would ""carefully consider"" the findings of the inquest. The inquest heard Mr Smith had begun suffering from paranoia and delusions before he was remanded in custody. The court was told that while he was in custody Mr Smith repeatedly self-harmed and threatened to kill himself. He was not initially placed on a self harm and suicide prevention plan, known as an ACCT. When he was finally placed on an ACCT after he cut himself, he was then taken off it again. He was discovered hanged in his cell on 2 March 2016. The jury found inadequate attention was paid to concerns raised by his family, an inadequate mental health assessment was carried out, and those involved in his care failed to communicate adequately. Gloucestershire Police also failed to pass on information that Mr Smith had threatened to kill himself while in a police cell before he was transferred to prison. The jury recorded a verdict of suicide while suffering anxiety and distress, contributed to by a number of inadequacies and failings while in custody and remand in prison. The Ministry of Justice described it as ""a tragic case"" and said it recognises there were ""failings"" in Mr Smith's care. But Gloucestershire Police said: ""While there were details missing from Callum's records when he was transferred to prison there was sufficient information for the appropriate assessments to be made.""",An inquest has found failings by the prison @placeholder contributed to the death of a man who killed himself in jail .,treason,system,who,service,circumstances
+"It is hoped the latest truce, which came into effect at 21:00 GMT, will help negotiators agree a longer peace. Egypt brokered a similar truce last week, but fighting resumed after the three-day window ended. About 2,000 people have died in the conflict, which began on 8 July when Israel launched an operation to deter militant attacks from Gaza. Those killed include more than 1,900 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the UN. Sixty-seven people have died on the Israeli side, including three civilians. Israeli media were reporting warning sirens for rocket attacks right up to the new ceasefire deadline at midnight local time. Israeli air strikes also continued through Sunday evening. However, an hour into the ceasefire there were no reports of attacks from either side. After tense talks that both sides had threatened to abandon, the surprise announcement of the truce came late on Sunday. ""Israel has accepted Egypt's proposal for a 72-hour ceasefire,"" a senior Israeli official told the BBC. The official added that Israel would send negotiators to Cairo on Monday if the truce holds. Izzat al-Reshiq, a Hamas negotiator in Cairo, told Reuters news agency: ""In light of Israel's acceptance of the truce and their return without pre-conditions, we will inform the Egyptian brothers of our positive response."" In a statement, Egypt's foreign ministry urged both sides to resume indirect negotiations and ""work towards a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire agreement"". Correspondents say Israel is likely to continue to push for Gaza to be demilitarised, and Hamas will continue to demand the blockade of Gaza to be lifted. The issues have scuppered previous talks, conducted through intermediaries. However, an unidentified Hamas negotiator said their demands were likely to be ""more modest"" this time. Since the last 72-hour truce ended on Friday, there has been regular exchange of fire. Israeli air strikes have killed at least 20 Palestinians. Two Israelis were injured by mortars. The BBC's Wyre Davies in Jerusalem says the ceasefire should allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, where thousands have been left homeless. On the Israeli side, where dozens of communities have been evacuated, residents will also be able to return home.

+"The move for greater transparency follows controversy over a deal between the UK government and Google to repay ?¡ê130m in back taxes earlier this year. Ministers have accepted proposals that would oblige Revenue and Customs in principle to release data on tax paid. The amendment to the Finance Bill had been backed by 60 MPs. Speaking in the Commons during a debate on the proposed legislation, Treasury minister Jane Ellison said the government strongly believed in ""greater tax transparency and greater public disclosure of the tax affairs of large businesses"". ""For these reasons the government fully supports the intentions of the amendment and is supporting its inclusion in the bill,"" she added. Caroline Flint, the Labour MP who proposed the amendment, said she and her colleagues on the Public Accounts Committee believed the way that global multinationals ""play the system denies a fair take for HMRC which impacts on our public services"". This, she added, was ""very unfair to those British taxpayers and businesses for whom such complicated organisation of their tax affairs is not an option"". The Treasury's ""sweetheart deal"" with US technology giant Google earlier this year, which covered money owed since 2005, was criticised as derisory by critics.
