The Marine Conservation Society said plastic was a major feature as 16% more litter was picked up than in 2015. It wants people to pay up to 10p extra when they buy a drink and they will get it back when they return the bottle. It also wants takeaway containers to be compostable but opponents said the plans would not work. "With a deposit return scheme, you pay a deposit on a bottle - equivalent to 5p or 10p - and you get it back when you return to a reverse vending machine in a shop," said Gill Bell, Wales conservation manager for the Marine Conservation Society (MCS). "It's up to you to return the bottle so you would get your deposit back." "A deposit return scheme [DRS] would work in Wales and we would like the Welsh Government to look at it." Ms Bell highlighted the success of the 5p levy on plastic carrier bags and said DRS has been successful in other countries such as Germany along with parts of United States and Australia. Scotland is examining whether to introduce DRS. However, Jane Bickerstaffe, director of the the Industry Council for Research on Packaging and the Environment is against the move. She said: "A deposit is a tax in effect. "You'd have to have a system in place in shops which costs money to run and repair, leaving unintended consequences for the consumer. "They are financially expensive ways to address just a small part of the problem." The Welsh Government has been asked to comment. Other measures MCS wants to see is takeaway containers to be compostable and people to choose more carefully what they are buying in shops when it comes to packaging. Ms Bell added: "It's about empowering people to do their little bit at home. They can reduce the amount of plastic and packaging they buy." But Ms Bickerstaffe has a different approach. "Sometimes the criticism is litter because a few people can't be bothered to put the packaging in a bin so it ends up in the street," she added. "Litter is a growing problem and one that all of us need to tackle. That's why INCPEN is supporting a new approach called Neat Streets. "It aims to make everyone proud of their environment so they don't litter anything - till receipts, cups, crisp bags, fishing nets, newspapers, gum, cigarette ends or anything else. "Unless a place is properly cleaned, it just gets dirty again because even one piece of litter makes people think it's OK to add more."

Summary: The amount of litter on Welsh beaches has risen prompting calls for a deposit scheme to be introduced on bottles, cans and cartons.


Land is being made available by Northern Ireland Executive. One of two helicopters that will form part of the service toured Northern Ireland last week. The charity behind it says it hopes it will be fully operational by March next year. The decision to choose the Maze site has been waiting for executive approval for some time. It was given the green light following a test landing last week, which was used to assess several factors, including noise levels. Northern Ireland was previously the only area in the UK without a HEMS (helicopter emergency medical service). In March, the then health minister, Simon Hamilton said the air ambulance would be based at Belfast International Airport. But the charity behind the new service believes basing it at the Maze will be cost effective. It plans to use an existing building that was once used to check vehicles. The helicopter has arrived after a campaign for an air ambulance service by the late Dr John Hinds. Dr Hinds died in an accident in July 2015, but his partner Dr Janet Acheson continued his campaigning work. The building at the Maze will be converted into hangar space for two helicopters, as well as changing facilities for crew and an operations room. The charity Air Ambulance Northern Ireland says it will need to raise about Â£2m a year to operate the service. Health officials have yet to decide if it will have doctors onboard as well as paramedics.

Summary: The new air ambulance for Northern Ireland is to be based at the Maze Long Kesh site near Lisburn, County Antrim.


Cloth Of Stars, Humphrey Bogart and Red Verdon are the other supplementary entries at a cost of £75,000 each. Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien has seven of the 18 contenders still in the race, including leading hope US Army Ranger. The additional entries mean the race will be worth £1.454m and the most valuable ever staged in Britain. If all 18 horses line up, it will be the largest Derby field for 10 years since the victory of Sir Percy in 2006. O'Brien, who has won the race five times previously, saddled eight runners in 2007 when his best finisher Eagle Mountain was second to winner Authorized.

Summary: Four horses including joint favourite Wings of Desire have been added as late entries for the Derby at Epsom on Saturday.


Twenty-two people were killed when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb after a pop concert on 22 May. Lord Kerslake, the ex-head of the civil service, said those affected would have insights "that won't necessarily be available to the emergency services". An interim report should be complete by Christmas, he added. Speaking to Radio 5 live, he said the review - on behalf of Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham - would not look into whether the attack after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena could have been prevented. "That's a separate thing... we are focusing very much on the preparedness of Greater Manchester for such attacks and their response in the period, the week-and-a-half or so in which they had to respond. "The issue of whether it could have been prevented is a different review process." He said he would be "very surprised" if his recommendations were not acted upon. "There were thousands who were affected in some way by this terrible, terrible event. I see that as a key part of role as chair to make sure that their voices are heard as part of this review. "They will have insights and ideas that won't necessarily be available to the emergency services, good though they are." He added that he was "very confident" he would get access to information from the security services. "This is a very well-established process: everybody recognises that you get much better results if you're open and honest about the lessons learned." Information will also be collected from reviews conducted by each of the emergency services, he added. "I'm sure there will be a lot of good things that will come out, but also the things that could have been done better."

Summary: The review into the response to the Manchester attack will "give voice" to the victims' families, its chair Lord Kerslake has said.


The 32-year-old has scored one goal in 10 appearances for the League Two side in all competitions this season. "He has been extremely unlucky with injuries and is going to be a big loss while he recovers," head coach Dermot Drummy told the club website. "We just hope that when he comes back it he can play a full part for us in the last few months of the season."

Summary: Crawley Town striker Matt Harrold will be out for three months after suffering an Achilles injury.


Researchers at St Andrews University said a method using a small circular hole could have wide implications for 3D technology. The study, published in Psychological Science, also has implications for people who have just one eye or difficulties with double-eye vision. The method was said to create 3D similar to effects used in film-making. Researchers said that current thinking was based on the need for two visual images - one from each eye - to be combined in the visual cortex, creating a sense of depth. But Dr Dhanraj Vishwanath, a psychologist at the university, believes both eyes are not necessary for this "3D experience". Dr Vishwanath said: "We have demonstrated experimentally, for the first time, that the same 'special way' in which depth is experienced in 3D movies can also be experienced by looking at a normal picture with one eye viewing through a small aperture (circular hole). "While this effect has been known for a long time, it is usually dismissed. "Now we have shown that it is in fact real, and the perceptual results are exactly like stereoscopic 3D, the kind seen in 3D movies. "Based on this finding, we have provided a new hypothesis of what the actual cause of the 3D experience might be." The university said the 1838 invention of the stereoscope - the technology behind 3D film-making - brought with it the assumption two eyes were necessary for 3D vision. Dr Vishwanath said: "This work has significant implications for people who don't have normal binocular vision. "First it could help them experience what it means to see in 3D. Second, it could encourage them to seek therapy to try to regain two-eye 3D vision (which produces the strongest 3D effect in everyday life) once they can see first-hand what 'seeing in 3D' is really like." Dr Vishwanath and his colleagues are now testing the method with a large group of strabismics, people with misaligned eyes. He said that nearly 15% of the population, including Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, may have some form of misalignment. The psychologist also believes his theory suggests a 3D experience could be induced simply by increasing resolution, using ultra-high definition (4K) televisions. Seeing in 3D with just one eye: Stereopsis without binocular vision is published by Psychological Science. Further research is due to be published later this year.

Summary: The effect of "vivid 3D vision" can be experienced with just one eye, a study has suggested.


The True Blood star died after years of suffering from drug and alcohol abuse. In a statement, his family said Ellis, 39, was ashamed of his addiction and did not want to talk about it. But they added: "His family, however, believes that in death he would want his life to serve as a cautionary tale in an attempt to help others." Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter through his manager Emily Gerson Saines, the family's statement continued: "Nelsan was a gentle, generous and kind soul. "He was a father, a son, a grandson, a brother, a nephew, and a great friend to those that were lucky enough to know him." Talking about the circumstances behind Ellis's death from heart failure, the statement explained: "After many stints in rehab, Nelsan attempted to withdraw from alcohol on his own. "According to his father, during his withdrawal from alcohol he had a blood infection, his kidneys shut down, his liver was swollen, his blood pressure plummeted, and his dear sweet heart raced out of control." Ellis played the flamboyant Lafayette Reynolds, a charismatic gay medium who was able to contact ghosts, in the HBO horror-drama series. He appeared regularly throughout the series of True Blood after first appearing as the cook at a local restaurant in 2008. He also featured alongside Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer in the film adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's novel The Help in 2011.

Parents are only allowed to take children out of school in "exceptional circumstances" or face fines. Bishop Bronescombe C of E School in St Austell, Cornwall, is creating the extra week at the end of the May half-term holiday. Cornwall Council said it was up to schools to plan their inset days. Changes to the law, which came into force on 1 September, mean head teachers no longer have the discretion to grant authorised leave to pupils each year. The new rules are aimed at preventing children missing vital parts of their education, which the the Department for Education (DfE) said can have a "hugely damaging effect". But some parents have said they cannot afford to pay the premium prices travel companies charge during official school holidays. The head of school at Bishop Bronescombe, Katie Dalton, said it would be putting the five teacher training days together in the summer term. "Lots of our parents are low wage earners, which is typical in Cornwall, and also they are seasonal workers, which makes it very difficult for them to get a family holiday together, that is actually affordable. "By putting the inset days all together in the summer term, it means they can take advantage of better deals and prices and it improves our attendance figures as well because there are less requests for leave during term time," she said. Deborah Smith, who has two children at the school, welcomed the move. "They said they understood lots of the parents down here are seasonal workers and they understand about the current economical climate and that budgets are tight for families, so I thought that was really important that the school were acknowledging and recognising the difficulty of paying for holidays," she said. In a statement the DfE said: "Poor attendance at school can have a hugely damaging effect, and children who attend school regularly are nearly four times more likely to achieve five or more good GCSEs than those who are regularly absent. "That is why we have given schools more power to tackle poor attendance and allowed them to intervene much earlier. "We have also increased the amount parents can be fined for unauthorised absences and cut the amount of time they have to pay." In July, the government also announced plans to give all schools the autonomy to set their own term dates.

Summary: A school is to put all its teacher-training days together to give children an extra week off in term time to help parents get cheaper holiday deals.


The sleepy and nondescript town of 40,000 people ringed by farms sees activity only around its bus stand. Just a couple of trains arrive at its deserted railway station every day. But this unremarkable place, 275km (170 miles) from the Indian capital, Delhi, is in news these days: it is the first town in India to offer full and cheap wi-fi coverage. A few cities in India - Bangalore, Pune, Cochin, Delhi - have some public free wi-fi hotspots, but their impact is low. From the bus stand and railway station to the streets and town market, the residents of Bhadra are now connected to the internet. I tested it along the length of the town and experienced a seamless connection. Local businessman Dalit Kumar Jain says he is pleased that he can now quickly download full-length movies on his phone and conduct business-related online money transfers. The facility is a success among the students, who no longer have to rush to the main town of Hanumangarh, 160km (100 miles) away, for online lessons, job applications and alerts. The number of training centres for job tests has gone up in Bhadra after wi-fi arrived here in July. Students of the local secondary school say they download exam test papers from the internet, and spend a lot of time on online games, and social media. For a place which had just a few internet connections a few months ago, Bhadra is a good example of how cheap and speedy wi-fi can change people's lives - 1GB of data only costs 64 rupees (98 cents; 64p) every month. Sandeep Yadav of MTS India, a Rajasthan-based company responsible for providing the facility, describes small, developing towns like Bhadra as the "nerve-centres of aspirational India". "Even the residents of small towns are now learning to use data and smart phones. A place like Bhadra accounts for 160GB of data usage every day. This is why we think that a certain amount of free bandwidth would really benefit the inhabitants." The company plans to roll out wi-fi services in 11 more small towns in the state. Shaukat Khan has a shop opposite the bus stand which is often crowded, because it sells coupons for the service. "So what if this is a small town? Around 8,500 people hailing from Bhadra work in the Middle East, which means there is a lot of demand for video calling and recharging. With so many living abroad, people look for ways to keep in touch," he says. Local resident Rabindra Yadav says even three years ago, residents often couldn't get a decent mobile phone connection, and overseas calls to a Gulf country like Muscat would cost 30 cents per minute. But youngsters in the town say that the wi-fi "revolution" is bypassing their parents and elders. "We need to do something about it. So I am saving up to buy my mother a smartphone during the upcoming Diwali festival," says 16-year-old Lakshmi.

Summary: Bhadra is an outlier in the Indian state of Rajasthan, better known for its forts and palaces and wide swathes of desert.


Meanwhile, 10,713 miles away the Australian population is growing at Sandy Park, home of Exeter Chiefs. Prop Greg Holmes and back-row Dave Dennis have committed to joining the club for next season, while winger Lachie Turner made the move last month. The Chiefs could have as many as eight Aussies in the squad next season - so why are so many players from down under being lured to the Devon club? "The weather" was the reason former international Turner jokingly gave to BBC Sport last month as his reason for making the move. But the former Toulon, Queensland Reds and New South Wales Waratahs back's main reason became clear shortly afterwards - and it has nothing to do with long romantic walks on Dartmoor. "For me the decision was easy after five minutes of speaking to Rob Baxter. "He gives his philosophies and the way he runs the club and the important things that he puts a lot of emphasis behind," said Turner. "It's about working hard, but also enjoying yourself. I don't think you can be successful in anything unless you enjoy what you're doing, and that's something they really strive for here." The Chiefs head coach has been in charge since the summer of 2009, guiding them to an unlikely win over Bristol in the inaugural Championship play-off final in 2010 and then gradually building a side that this season seems nailed-on for a first-ever place in the play-offs and have also made the last eight of the Champions Cup. Baxter's first Exeter side was packed with good Championship players who had a point to prove, but as the seasons have worn on, more and more experience has been brought to the club. England's Geoff Parling became the first British and Irish Lion to don an Exeter jersey, while other international players such as Tom James, Ceri Sweeney and Sireli Naqelevuki have all raised standards. "The culture here is based on honesty and trustworthiness," said another Aussie, Julian Salvi, after he joined the club last summer. A former Wallaby youth player he became the latest in a line of high-class back-row forwards to leave the traditional powerhouse of Leicester for the Chiefs - following Parling and Thomas Waldrom, who has had a new lease of life at the back of the Exeter scrum and was the league's top try-scorer last season. "You look from where they've come five or six years ago, from a Championship team they've made it to the Premiership," Salvi added. "Now they've gone from that side to being a real top-six quality contender and that's one of the things that attracted me to the place, the fact that it is a team on the rise and wanting to be there or thereabouts in the top four and pushing for championships." In 2012, Exeter made arguably the biggest signing in their history when Australia lock Dean Mumm left the Waratahs for Sandy Park. Three years later he left, having led the club to the first silverware in their 143-year history as they won the 2013 LV= Cup.

Summary: The village of Exeter lies 89 miles south-west of Sydney and according to the most recent census had 831 inhabitants.


Last year's runner-up coasted into a 3-0 lead, scoring 278 unanswered points before an "embarrassing" collapse. But Trump's defeat was overshadowed by a heartbreaking missed 147 by Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. Un-Nooh fluffed a maximum break with a final black miss in the sixth frame of his 6-2 defeat against Neil Robertson. The miss cost Un-Nooh £44,000 in total. Robertson, the 2013 champion, made a 145 in the next frame to claim the highest break of the tournament and eased to victory. Un-Nooh's gut-wrenching error, after several astonishing pots had kept his hopes of a maximum alive, partly kept Trump's troubles out of the limelight. Trump, the 2011 winner, scored 112 in the first frame, 75 in the third and looked in majestic form to lead 3-0, But a kick in the sixth frame, when he could have gone 5-1 ahead, changed the course of the game according to the pre-tournament favourite. "At 4-1 I felt in complete control and was playing well, but I had a kick and it was embarrassing towards the end," he said. "It was one of those games where I didn't want to be out there any more. I didn't think I could pot a ball. I don't know what went wrong. It's worrying. "It is probably the worst I have ever felt as a professional. I was never going to win. It was very disheartening. I knew something would go wrong. It was a horrible feeling." Wenbo said: "I am very happy. At 4-3 I thought I had a chance. He missed some easy balls." In the afternoon session World number four Murphy comfortably beat Ben Woollaston, finishing an increasingly impressive performance with a stylish 106. The 2008 champion began in ominous fashion, hitting an opening-frame 83. Woollaston had several chances but Murphy showed his matchplay quality and potting ability to score two 70-plus breaks and secure victory with a 106. "I am very pleased with my performance," Murphy, 33, said. World number 30 Woollaston was amazed by some of the shots attempted by Murphy. "He goes for balls that no-one else goes for. I don't think even Judd would have gone for some of the ones he went for," Woollaston said. "In the last frame I thought I played a great safety and he made a century. Media playback is not supported on this device Murphy added: "Part of going for your shots is saying, 'I am prepared to go for my shots, are you?' "It sends a message out to your opponent. I have always gone for my shots and I always will." There were also wins for Englishmen Tom Ford and Martin Gould, Scotland's Stephen Maguire and Hong Kong's Marco Fu.

Summary: England's Judd Trump lost five frames in a row as he was beaten by China's Liang Wenbo on a dramatic evening at the UK Championship.


In the past year more than 90% of girls aged between 12 and 13 have had the treatment, an NHS spokeswoman said. The vaccine, which consists of three injections over a six-month period, is given in secondary schools and at community clinics. HPV causes most types of cervical cancer. Dr Lincoln Sargeant, consultant in public health medicine at NHS Cambridgeshire said: "We are very pleased with the response to the HPV vaccination programme across the county. "In the UK cervical cancer is the twelfth most common women's cancer."

Summary: NHS Cambridgeshire has said it is "very pleased" with the number of girls having the vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV).


Matthew George was held by police investigating historical allegations at Kerelaw School. The 67 year old taught art at the school and secure unit, which closed in 2006 following a police probe into incidents of abuse. He is expected to appear at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court later. A report is to be sent to the procurator fiscal. The school was originally run by Strathclyde Regional Council and its successor, Glasgow City Council.

Summary: A former teacher has been arrested in connection with sexual and physical abuse allegations at a former residential school in Ayrshire.


Johnstone's first came at the end of a half in which Trinity had thrown away a 12-0 lead and stopped Salford going in level at the break. He scored again before the visitors reduced the arrears through Justin Carney's try. However a third score to add to Reece Lyne's effort ended Red Devils hopes. Since losing in front of Chester at Hull, Trinity have found form to beat Huddersfield, Leeds and now Salford, who were in action for the first time since crowd violence marred their victory at Huddersfield. Jacob Miller and Michael Sio crossed for Wakefield on the back of cheap possession early on but Salford, prompted by Michael Dobson, fought their way back through Gareth O'Brien and Matt Sarsfield tries. However winger Johnstone's score before the break was a blow from which the Red Devils never quite recovered, and the loss of Carney to an ankle injury was salt in the wound. The Wildcats have now achieved more Super League wins this season than they managed in 23 games last year. Wakefield: Jowitt, Jones-Bishop, Arundel, Lyne, Johnstone, Miller, Finn, Scruton, Moore, England, Kirmond, Ashurst, Sio. Replacements: Walton, Arona, Simon, Molloy. Salford: O'Brien, Carney, Sau, Jones, J. Griffin, Wood, Dobson, Kopczak, Tomkins, G. Griffin, Murdoch, Sarsfield, Flanagan. Replacements: Evalds, A. Walne, J. Walne, Forster. Referee: Joe Cobb (RFL)

Summary: Tom Johnstone's hat-trick helped Wakefield to a 32-18 win against Salford and gave them a third straight success under coach Chris Chester.


The world number two is due to become a father and will, I'm sure, cherish that above anything he could ever achieve on a tennis court. But I don't think this new year will be notable in the Murray household simply for the addition of a welcome new member. There's every indication major trophies will be celebrated too. It's only a few weeks since Murray completed the perfect Davis Cup year; unbeaten as he helped return the famous old trophy to these shores for the first time in nearly 80 years. That was one of his main targets for 2015. Mission accomplished, and in some style, beating a fine player in Belgium's David Goffin in his own back yard, on clay, in straight sets, with one of the best match points - and winning shots - ever seen. The feel-good factor from such an achievement can last months. When Novak Djokovic savoured success with Serbia in the Davis Cup at the end of 2010, he followed it up with one of the best years in the history of tennis. He didn't lose a match until the semi-finals of the French Open, and won the other three Grand Slam titles. Incredibly, the super Serb was even better last year, reaching all four major finals, and winning three, as well as six out of the eight Masters Series events he entered. Could Andy do a Novak? That's perhaps asking too much. But I certainly think 2016 will be the year Murray's major count gets going again. It's two and a half years since he won the second of his two Slam titles. The game has moved on since then, and the Scot has had back surgery and switched coaches. He was, however, much more like his old self in 2015, winning four titles, including his first two on clay, and competing well for three of the four main prizes. Finishing the year ranked second in the world, for the first time in his career, will have done the confidence no harm either; nor will beating Roger Federer, albeit in the end-of-season IPTL exhibition. He'll go into 2016 with an extra spring in his step and as the second seed for the Australian Open, which gets under way in just over two weeks' time in Melbourne. Murray knows he doesn't have to worry about Novak Djokovic until the final, should both men get there. So the Scot will reflect on 2015 as a year that ended much better than it began. Ranked sixth in the world when the notes of Auld Lang Syne were fading away, he'd just been thrashed 6-0 6-1 by Federer at the World Tour Finals in London. When Murray headed down under to Melbourne in January, the first Grand Slam of the season once again brought out the best in him as he reached his fourth Australian Open final. It proved, however, to be the one that got away; from a break up in the third set against Djokovic, Murray lost 12 of the next 13 games in that final. But

Summary: This will be a landmark year for Andy Murray - I have no hesitation in predicting that whatsoever.


At the end of an even first half, Fabio Borini buried a penalty following Andre Wisdom's rash challenge in the box. The Italian put in an excellent cross for Jermain Defoe to turn in a second after the break before Duncan Watmore scored a third in injury time. Nathan Redmond hit a post and Norwich had penalty appeals turned down - but the comeback never gathered real pace. Instead Sunderland could easily have increased their winning margin before Watmore darted onto fellow substitute Sebastien Larsson pass and finally made the hosts pay for the space left behind as they committed numbers forward. Relive Sunderland's crucial victory Relegation fight 'going down to the wire' Sunderland rely heavily on Defoe for goals. Fortunately for the Black Cats, he has managed 16 in 30 games this season and they had success as they repeatedly tested the Norwich defence against the 32-year-old striker's pace with long balls forward. It may have been one-dimensional, but that direct style paid off as Borini chased up on a swift counter-attack and was clumsily fouled by Wisdom in the box as he controlled Defoe's return ball. After the break, another fast transition after a dawdling Sebastien Bassong was robbed by Jan Kirchoff saw the roles reversed with Borini threading a perfect delivery to the far post for Defoe to slide in and convert. Sunderland's goal difference is now seven superior to Norwich's and they might have increased that advantage further with Watmore wasting a fine opening before belatedly adding a third. Norwich had 19 shots to the visitors' eight and 14 corners with Sunderland unable to force a single one. But for all their industry, endeavour and possession, they lacked the cutting edge and ruthlessness that the Black Cats showed. Instead they were largely restricted to long-range efforts, with Martin Olsson, Bassong and Wisdom bringing saves out of Vito Mannone. Redmond then struck the base of a post with a skimming effort, while referee Andre Marriner turned down a trio of weak penalty claims to the home crowd's disgust. The two clubs have competed for the Friendship Trophy in their league meetings since they played each other in the 1985 Milk Cup final, but with the far greater prize of Premier League survival on the line there was little cordial about this encounter. Norwich's Robbie Brady nudged DeAndre Yedlin into the advertising hoarding in front of the Sunderland bench, sparking a shoving match in which Black Cats' boss Sam Allardyce and Norwich substitute Cameron Jerome jostled each other. Relations were not improved by Borini's goal celebration which finished with him sliding on his knees in front of the home supporters, some of whom returned fire with the paper clappers that had been distributed before kick-off. The closing stages of the match played out to the travelling fans' taunts that Norwich are heading to the Championship with their north-east rivals Newcastle. If that prediction proves true, this result will feature heavily in Norwich's post-mortem of the season. Media playback is not supported on this device Norwich boss Alex Neil: "The two

Summary: Sunderland climbed to within a point of safety by beating relegation rivals Norwich at Carrow Road.


The service for cousins dual Irish-US citizen Ashley Donohoe, 22, and Olivia Burke, 21, from Dublin, was taking place in Sonoma. The bodies of four other Irish students will be repatriated on an Aer Lingus flight to Dublin on Saturday night. They are due to arrive at Dublin Airport on Sunday morning. On Friday night the relatives of LorcÃ¡n Miller, Eimear Walsh, Eoghan Culligan, and Niccolai (Nick) Schuster received their bodies for the first time at a joint service in St Columba's Church in Oakland, California. Their bodies lay in repose in open caskets until around 22:00 local time. After Saturday's joint funeral service for Ashley Donohoe and Olivia Burke, Ms Burke's remains will be flown home to Ireland on Sunday evening. The balcony collapsed during a 21st birthday party in the early hours of Tuesday in the city of Berkeley. Five of the six people who died were Irish students based in the US as part of a work exchange programme. The victims were: Meanwhile, the conditions of two of the people who were injured in the Berkeley balcony collapse have improved. Conor Flynn and Jack Halpin are being cared for at the John Muir Medical Centre in Walnut Creek. Hospital pastor Fr Michael Gillen described the pair as inspirational and said they should make a full recovery. Investigations continue into why the fourth-floor balcony collapsed. Engineers say water damage may have caused the structure to give way. Authorities said 13 people were on the balcony when it collapsed. A book of condolence is to be opened at Belfast City Hall on Monday.

Summary: A joint funeral mass is being held in California for two of the six students killed in an apartment balcony collapse in Berkeley on Monday night.


Fletcher Porrit, was injured by the Cleveland Police dog when it was called to an unrelated incident. He was hurt near Farleigh Close, Billingham, at about 20:00 GMT on 3 March, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said. Commissioner Carl Gumsley said it was "vital that we collate all the relevant information".

Summary: A witness appeal has been launched after a 10-year-old boy was bitten by a police dog.


The Dean Trust which runs Ashton on Mersey in Sale wants to send the pupils to Broadoak School in Partington. Parents claim this would be "unlawful" as their children's Educational Health and Care Plan (EHC) states that they should attend Ashton on Mersey. The trust said it was "oversubscribed". Parents have contacted a solicitor who has written a formal pre-action letter to the school outlining their legal position. If the school does not respond to the letter by Friday parents will issue judicial review proceedings, James Betts from Simpson Millar Solicitors said. Deborah Keay's 11-year-old son Samuel who has autism has been told he will be one of the pupils with special needs taken by bus to Broadoak, also run by the Dean Trust. She said the change would be very stressful and upsetting for her son. "I wanted him to go to a mainstream school, but a mainstream school that had quite a number of years of dealing with children on the autism spectrum. "I know and understand they are a victim of their own success but, at the end of the day, my child's school named on his EHC is Ashton on Mersey. It is not Broadoak and it is not the Dean Trust." Mr Betts, who is representing seven of the families, said the school is legally obliged to admit those pupils under section 43 of the Children's and Families Act 2014. "The school is still a separate legal entity and so, in the EHC, it would say Ashton on Mersey school... so that is clearly the school that they are under a legal duty to allow them to attend." Councillor John Lamb, chair of governors at Ashton on Mersey School, said it already provided just under 8% of its school places to students with special educational needs. "If you think about a comparable neighbouring school that same figure is under 1%." He assured parents: "We would provide at Broadoak, as we do here, that specialised care and attention that those children deserve and need." Trafford Council said: "Where the parent of a child with a draft educational healthcare plan expresses a preference for an academy... the council will name it in the final plan, unless, after consulting the school's governing body, one of the statutory exceptions are made out." The Regional School Commissioner is responsible for ensuring all Academies continue to meet their statutory requirements, it added.

Summary: A group of parents whose children have special needs is threatening legal action against an academy school in Trafford after accusing it of "discrimination".


However, it has faced fierce and sometimes violent opposition in various parts of the world. In some of the latest trouble in South Africa, Uber drivers have complained of intimidation and harassment by their rivals for business. Here is what you need to know about the upstart transport firm. Founded just six years ago, the San Francisco-based Uber "seamlessly connects riders to drivers", as the company puts it. Users download an app which uses GPS technology to locate available drivers. You tap the screen to hail a cab and pay automatically on arrival with a credit card. Fares are usually lower than with traditional firms. It operates in 57 countries, but Uber's ambitions go beyond providing taxis - it has also trialled courier and fast food delivery services. Uber takes a cut of each fare. Since it does not directly employ drivers, or own the vehicles, costs are kept low. Growth has been fast - some forecasts put revenues this year at around $2bn (Â£1.2bn). It has also attracted huge amounts of funding. A recent valuation estimates the company as worth over $50bn (Â£31.7bn). At this level, should Uber go public, it would be the biggest start-up flotation since Facebook. The service needs a large pool of drivers to provide a reliable service, and is keen to stress how easy it is to join. You will need your own car for starters, and to cover the costs of fuel and servicing. The company also conducts background checks on potential recruits. For drivers, despite the lower fares, there are obvious perks, such as being able to choose your own hours. Uber's growth has been matched by protests around the world. Canada, France, Hong Kong, India, South Africa, the US and UK have all seen demonstrations. Such protests have brought gridlock to major capital cities. Occasionally, like in France, they turned violent. The firm has had to provide security to protect its drivers in South Africa after threats from traditional drivers. Broadly, taxi drivers accuse Uber of unfair competition, undercutting prices by allowing unlicensed drivers to escape regulation required for the professionals. An Indian woman who says she was raped by an Uber driver in Delhi has filed a lawsuit against the firm, accusing it of failing to ensure her safety. Uber said it was co-operating with the authorities. Its vetting process has also been put under the spotlight by allegations of sexual assaults by drivers in the US and Canada. The company has been accused of aggressive business practices, including poaching drivers from rival Lyft. And Uber executive Emil Michael said he was "plain wrong" for suggesting hiring researchers to dig up dirt on journalists who wrote negative reports on the company. Uber's popularity makes it hard to see it disappearing soon. History has looked more kindly on disruptive technology than its critics, whether it be mechanised looms in the Industrial Revolution or audio downloads. But the firm does face challenges. Local regulations could bite, raising fares - a court in California last month ruled in favour of an Uber driver who argued

Summary: The taxi-hailing app Uber has expanded rapidly since its launch and gained popularity with users as fares are generally cheaper than with traditional taxis.


Aspas scored from the penalty spot on the hour to put Celta 2-1 up after Raul Albentosa had cancelled out Hugo Mallo's opener. Fabian Orellana added a third for Celta in the 78th minute before Aspas, 29, sealed the win seven minutes from time. Aspas scored once in 15 appearances for Liverpool in the 2013-14 season. Liverpool signed Aspas from Celta for £7m in June 2013 but he struggled to make an impact and was sold to Sevilla. He rejoined Celta for a second spell in June 2015 and scored 14 goals in 35 appearances in La Liga last season. Match ends, Celta de Vigo 4, Deportivo de La Coruña 1.

A year ago, he was a member of the government of one the most unpopular French presidents in history. Now, at 39, he has won France's presidential election, defeating first the mainstream centre left and centre right and now the far right as well. No doubt about it, Mr Macron was carried to victory in part by the winds of fortune. A public scandal knocked out the initial frontrunner, centre-right candidate François Fillon; and Socialist candidate Benoît Hamon, already on the left fringe of the party, suffered a very public drubbing as traditional voters looked elsewhere. "He was very lucky, because he was facing a situation that was completely unexpected," says Marc-Olivier Padis, of Paris-based think tank Terra Nova. Luck doesn't tell the whole story. Mr Macron could have gone for the Socialist ticket, but he realised after years in power and dismal public approval ratings the party's voice would always struggle to be heard. "He was able to foresee there was an opportunity when nobody could," says Mr Padis. Instead, he looked at political movements that have sprung up elsewhere in Europe - Podemos in Spain, Italy's Five-Star Movement - and saw that there was no equivalent game-changing political force in France. In April 2016, he established his "people-powered" En Marche! (On the move) movement and four months later he stood down from President François Hollande's government. Having established En Marche, he took his cue from Barack Obama's grassroots 2008 US election campaign, says Paris-based freelance journalist Emily Schultheis. His first major undertaking was the Grande Marche (Big March), when he mobilised his growing ranks of energised but inexperienced En Marche activists. "The campaign used algorithms from a political firm they worked with - who by the way had volunteered for the Obama campaign in 2008 - to identify districts and neighbourhoods that were most representative of France as a whole," Ms Schultheis says. "They sent out people to knock on 300,000 doors." The volunteers didn't just hand out flyers - they carried out 25,000 in-depth interviews of about 15 minutes with voters across the country. That information was entered into a large database which helped inform campaign priorities and policies. "It was a massive focus group for Macron in gauging the temperature of the country but also made sure that people had contact with his movement early on, making sure that volunteers knew how to go door to door. It was a training exercise that really laid the groundwork for what he did this year," Ms Schultheis explains. And he capitalised on it. Mr Macron's political persona appears beset with contradictions. The "newcomer" who was President Hollande's protege and then economy minister; the ex-investment banker running a grassroots movement; the centrist with a radical programme to slash the public sector. It was perfect ammunition for run-off rival Marine Le Pen, who said he was the candidate of the elite, not the novice he said he was. But he dodged attempts to label him as another François Hollande, creating a profile that resonated among people desperate for something new. "There is

Summary: Emmanuel Macron has triggered a political earthquake in French politics.


The four-time champion has been at the team since 2015 and has helped build them up to be title contenders this year after a difficult few seasons. Vettel is leading the championship by 14 points from Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton with nine races remaining. The move ends speculation that the 30-year-old could be considering a move to Mercedes in the near future. A statement from Ferrari said the team had "extended its technical and racing agreement" with Vettel "for the 2018, 2019 and 2020 racing seasons of the F1 world championship". In Ferrari's time-honoured style, the statement contained no quotes or further information from the driver or the team. Ferrari announced earlier this week they had retained Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen for one more season. Vettel had made it clear his preference was for the Finn to stay. Vettel's decision is likely to be followed by confirmation from Mercedes that they will retain Valtteri Bottas for at least another season alongside Hamilton. The Finn was signed on a one-year deal to replace world champion Nico when after the German retired from F1 after winning the title last year. Hamilton is contracted to Mercedes until the end of 2018. Later, after qualifying second to title rival Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes, Vettel said: "I love this team and the people who work for this brand," adding: "In a way, it was a no-brainer to continue. We haven't yet achieved what we wanted to achieve. But things are looking pretty good and obviously we have a long road ahead of us." Asked whether he had talks with Mercedes over the summer, he said: "I have been around in the paddock for a while so I know people and it's only natural you talk, but it has never been more than chatting," he said. "I have been talking for a while with Ferrari. My intention was to stay." Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said: "There were zero discussions with Sebastian about a contract." Vettel added that he had signed the deal at this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix and talked of the inspiration he has following in the footsteps of his childhood hero Michael Schumacher. "We haven't succeeded. The mission is still ongoing. I want to win in red. We talked about inspiration earlier, about Michael, who was mostly dressed in red, he won most of his races and championships in red. "I don't want to step in his footsteps. The whole generation of the Ferrari team today was to leave their own footsteps but certainly there is a huge inspiration. Something that for me is now the biggest challenge and dream I have. It's what I want to achieve."

Summary: Sebastian Vettel has signed a new contract to stay with Ferrari until the end of 2020.


Meyiwa, 27, was shot on Sunday, apparently after burglars entered his girlfriend's house near Johannesburg. A suspect appeared in court on Friday and was charged with the murder of the popular goalkeeper. Meyiwa's death shocked South Africa and has highlighted the high rates of violent crime in the country. The funeral took place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Meyiwa's hometown of Durban. Many of the mourners were wearing T-shirts with a picture of Meyiwa, who was widely seen as an inspiring figure. Others wore red or black replica football shirts in the colours of Meyiwa's team, Orlando Pirates. Meyiwa's coffin was driven into the stadium, followed by Orlando Pirates players and officials. Mourners cried as videos were played showing Meyiwa training and playing football. Celebrating Senzo Meyiwa's life was the main theme for the tens of thousands of fans who packed into the stands. Fans from his team, the Orlando Pirates, but also from their rivals, the Kaiser Chiefs, sung Senzo's praises - both his ability on the pitch, and his behaviour off it. But there were also posters calling for justice for his killers, and a tougher stance from the South African authorities over gun-related violence. Underlying everything was a sense of injustice that one of Africa's most promising football talents could be killed in such a way. The chairman of the country's football association said he hoped that this could be a "turning-point" in the long-running debate over violent crime. And Senzo Meyiwa's father Sam told me he wanted more random searches, to cut the number of guns in South Africa. "We are no longer safe in our houses," he said. "The entire nation is crying. We have all lost. Our condolences to Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana," said Durban Mayor James Nxumalo, AFP reported, using a nickname for South Africa's national team. "Our hearts are bleeding." President Zuma ordered the national flag to be flown at half-mast on Saturday to honour the goalkeeper. Following Meyiwa's death, South Africa's domestic football league postponed this weekend's scheduled Johannesburg derby between Orlando Pirates and rivals Kaiser Chiefs. The Durban stadium was also named as the venue for host South Africa's next Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The funeral of another South African sporting hero, former 800m world champion Mbulaeni Mulaudzi, also took place on Saturday. Mulaudzi was killed in a car accident the day before Meyiwa's death. Police said on Friday that a suspect had been identified in Meyiwa's killing after an identity parade. The man, named as Zanokuhle Mbatha, 25, faced charges of murder and armed robbery at a court hearing and is due to appear again on 11 November. Police had offered a reward for information on the attack. "There are still other suspects outstanding and we appeal to the public to continue providing information in support of the investigation," a police statement said.

Summary: Tens of thousands of people have attended the funeral of South African football captain Senzo Meyiwa in Durban.


Hampshire Police posted a photograph of a red car on its side, asking people to "retweet for a Hyundai i20 or FAV for a Vauxhall Corsa". Some people called the tweet "inappropriate", but it was also described as "moronic". "We were simply trying to show the impact of the crash. We didn't mean to offend," the @HantsPolRoads responded. "Getting some negative replies to crashed car tweet. "The driver was not injured in this incident. We were trying to highlight how much a car can be damaged in a crash." No one was seriously injured in the crash on Wednesday on Redbridge Road, Southampton. A number of people called the post "inappropriate", "irresponsible" and "making light of someone's traumatic experience." Ian Taylor said: "Not inappropriate in the slightest. Absolutely moronic." Alex Oates said: "A game out of a crash? What's next? 'did the driver/cyclist/pedestrian live? RT yes, FAV no?'." Wayne Herridge said he had reported the post to Twitter as an inappropriate tweet. A spokesman for Hampshire Police said two vehicles were involved in the collision and the driver of the red Hyundai had to be freed by Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service. Nobody was seriously injured in the crash.

Summary: People have attacked a tweet by a roads policing unit asking readers to identify the brand of a crashed car.


The ivory, with a black market value of $30m (Â£19.4m), is the largest consignment to be destroyed in Kenya. "Many of these tusks belonged to elephants which were wantonly slaughtered by criminals," he said at the ceremony in Nairobi National Park. Elephant ivory is often smuggled to Asia for use in ornaments. Rhinos are also poached for their horns for use in traditional medicine. Conservationists have warned that elephants could be wiped out in some parts of Africa in the next few years. "Twenty-five years after the historic banning of the ivory trade, demand from the emerging markets once again threatens Africa's elephants and rhinos," President Kenyatta said. The burning of the ivory was to show that wildlife trophies must be put "beyond economic use", he said. "We want future generations of Kenyans, Africans and indeed the entire world to experience the majesty and beauty of these magnificent animals. "Poachers and their enablers will not have the last word in Kenya." Mr Kenyatta promised that his government would destroy the country's entire stockpile of ivory - thought to be another 115 tonnes - by the end of the year. "We are committed to combating the menace robustly and persistently until we dismantle the entire vile economy," the president said, adding that Interpol's new regional office on environmental crime in Kenya was a significant boost in the battle. Last month, China imposed a one-year ban on the import of ivory, amid criticism that demand from its consumers was fuelling poaching in Africa.

Summary: Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has set fire to 15 tonnes of elephant ivory as part of the East African nation's efforts to curb poaching.


It means Blackberry users will have to use the mobile version of the website to log on to the social network. It is not clear when this will come into effect. Earlier this month WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, also announced that it would only continue to support Blackberry's Android-powered Priv handset. Whatsapp support for Blackberry's own operating system will end at the end of 2016, the firm said. "We fought back to work with WhatsApp and Facebook to change their minds, but at this time, their decision stands," wrote Lou Gazzola, who works in developer relations at Blackberry, in a blog post. "We have worked hard to ensure our end users have the best experience in light of this decision, and are continuing to search for alternate solutions." Mr Gazzola urged supporters to take to social media using the hashtag #ILoveBB10Apps. "Hey @facebook and @WhatsApp #ILoveBB10Apps Please don't kill'em *attempts puppy eyes*" tweeted Jo. "I use BB10 because I wanted an alternative to Android and iOS devices, don't stop offering people an alternative choice! #ILoveBB10Apps" tweeted Ed Hale. Facebook has been contacted for comment.

Summary: Blackberry said it is "extremely disappointed" with Facebook's decision to discontinue support for its app.


Alexander Perepilichnyy, 44, collapsed and died in the road in Weybridge, Surrey, on the evening of 10 November 2012. Surrey Police investigated his death, but decided it was not suspicious. However, new toxicology tests have shown that a rare poison may have been used to kill him. Mr Perepilichnyy had told colleagues in London he had received death threats, reports BBC world affairs correspondent Richard Galpin. He had handed over sensitive documents to a businessman in London and to prosecutors in Switzerland, our correspondent adds. These implicated Russian officials and mafia members in the theft of $240m (Â£147m) from the Russian state through tax fraud. The full inquest had been due to get under way earlier, but was delayed because of the new toxicology information. Tests showed a potential marker for a rare poison called Gelsemium elegans. Further tests will be carried out to establish if the poison was in his body.

Summary: A wealthy Russian businessman who died suddenly near his home in Surrey may have been poisoned, a pre-inquest hearing has been told.


Fishlock, 29, had been a player and assistant coach to Jo Montemurro, who has taken up a role with the club's men's team. Her first match in charge will be the Round 11 fixture at Sydney FC on Sunday, 8 January. Sydney are top of the table with Fishlock's side fourth.

Summary: Wales midfielder Jess Fishlock has taken over as Melbourne City coach for the final weeks of Australia's W-League season.


It will be called Angel Franco, after the senior golfer from Paraguay. He is playing at a tournament at North Berwick and will take part in the naming ceremony. The International Fire and Rescue Association (IFRA), which is organising the delivery of the fire appliance, said firefighters in Paraguay are often poorly equipped. IFRA chairman David Kay said: "It's fantastic that this appliance will be named after such a well-known figure in Paraguay and even better that it will be stationed near his home. "I know that it has come to the end of its working life in Scotland but its still very able to save lives 6,000 miles away for many more years." Angel Franco is taking part in the Prostate Cancer UK Scottish Seniors Open at Archerfield Golf Club in North Berwick. The Angel Franco fire engine will be sent to the city Luque. It is the 81st appliance delivered by IFRA since it was founded in 2002. A total of 19 countries have benefitted. Mr Kay said that volunteer firefighters in many of these countries have "little training, few appliances and no equipment". He added: "Once we have finished with it here, IFRA with the support of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and other agencies collect and send all the equipment we can to help kit out and equip the volunteers in these countries. "Then we drive or fly out as we have on 58 previous training missions to ensure they are trained to the highest standards to allow them to safely save more lives. "It's great to think that all this redundant and superseded kit continues to save people in other countries long after we stop using it and the people of Scotland should be justifiably proud of this."

Summary: A fire appliance being sent to Paraguay by Scotland's biggest fire service charity will be officially named later.


South Wales Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Sophie Howe said Cardiff has reached "saturation point". She said licences had been granted that the force "haven't necessarily agreed with". On Friday, the council said it only granted licences in a "saturation zone" when applicants show there will be no negative impact. After a summit into recent alleged sex attacks in the city, Ms Howe pointed out there are 299 licensed premises in Cardiff's central square mile. "It is the highest concentration of licensed premises anywhere in the UK," she said. The council said police and other responsible authorities were notified of every licence application. Any objections must relate to the authority's licensing objectives. These include the prevention of crime and disorder, the prevention of public nuisance, public safety and the protection of children from harm. "If relevant representations are received, the licensing sub-committee must consider the application and the relevant representations made," the council said. "The policy of the authority in general is that we will not permit any further premises to be licensed for the sale of alcohol in areas designated in a saturation zone unless the applicant is able to demonstrate that there will be no negative impact on one or more of the licensing objectives." Thursday's summit was attended by figures from the police, the council, the city's universities and businesses. It followed three sexual assaults alleged to have taken place near Cardiff University Students' Union during freshers' fortnight.

Summary: Claims there are "too many" pubs and bars in central Cardiff have been defended by the city's council.


The 32-year-old, who can also play in midfield, has spent nine seasons of his career playing Premier League football. He was a free agent after his release by Hull City in June, having played 12 times last term as the Tigers on promotion back to the top flight. He is available for Vale's home League One match against Oxford on Saturday. Taylor is the 18th signing made by new Vale boss Bruno Ribeiro since taking over in June. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Summary: Port Vale have signed former Wigan Athletic and Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor on a short-term deal, subject to league approval.


The 56-year-old Spaniard was appointed in March following Steve McClaren's sacking but failed to keep the Magpies in the top flight. He had a break clause in his contract if Newcastle were relegated and was widely expected to leave the club. "The love I could feel from the fans was a big influence for me," he said. Former Liverpool, Chelsea, and Real Madrid boss Benitez will have control over "all football-related matters" at the club, Newcastle said. Benitez's decision also hinged on the amount of funds he has to strengthen the squad following their demotion to the Championship. "This is a huge club and I wanted to be part of the great future I can see for Newcastle United," added Benitez. "The main thing for me is that I have assurances that we will have a strong team - a winning team." Benitez, who was sacked by Real in January and has also managed Valencia, Inter Milan and Napoli, took over with Newcastle one point adrift of safety. Despite losing only three of his 10 matches in charge, the Magpies were relegated with one game of the season remaining. Home supporters used their final match - a 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham - to try to convince Benitez to stay at St James' Park, singing and chanting his name throughout the home game. Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley described Benitez as "phenomenal" and "world-class", saying he had "captured the hearts and minds" of fans and the club as a whole. "I believe with Rafa as manager it gives us the best possible chance of returning to the Premier League at the first time of asking and delivering success for this football club beyond that," added Charnley. "It is clear that Rafa has connected deeply with the club's supporters and we do not underestimate the role they have played in his decision to stay." Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer said he was "delighted", but a "little bit surprised", telling BBC Radio 5 live: "For Newcastle to attract of a manager of his calibre is a coup." BBC Sport pundit Mark Lawrenson, a former Newcastle coach, said: "He's a control freak in the nicest possible way. I would imagine he's probably got millions to buy players plus what he generates in sales. He is ruthless. "He managed at a lower level in Spain, that's where he learned the art of management. He'll get them organised defensively straight away, which you have to do in the Championship. "Newcastle, Liverpool, Valencia - all teams with a massive base of support and very loyal to their managers if they think they are any good. I can really understand why he's staying."

Summary: Rafael Benitez is staying as Newcastle United manager after signing a new three-year contract following their relegation from the Premier League.


The 25-year-old former Sale Sharks tight-head prop, who has won seven caps for England, joined Bath in 2014 and has played six times so far this term. "It is the place for me. It is my home. I've loved the past few years here," Thomas told BBC Radio Bristol. Thomas is currently out long term after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in November. "It wasn't a hard decision to make," Thomas added. "I've signed on for three years and I'm really excited." Asked if he might play again this season, he replied: "It is a big doubt really. "As a player you always like to push as much as you can but the physios always have your best interests at heart." Bath are fourth in the Premiership after 13 league games this season and are at home to Brive in the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup after finishing top of their pool.

Summary: Injured front row Henry Thomas has signed a new three-year contract with Premiership club Bath.


Speaking at the G7 summit in Japan, the prime minister, a leading figure in the Remain campaign, denied reports that his "instinct" was to vote Leave. "I am not a closet anything. I have pretty much had the same view about Europe ever since I got involved in active politics," the PM said. Boris Johnson told him it was "not too late" to join the Leave campaign. With four weeks to go before the UK votes on 23 June about whether to leave the European Union, there have been reports that Conservative PM Mr Cameron, at heart, backs "Brexit," as a British exit from the EU is known. Steve Hilton, who was one of Mr Cameron's closest aides before leaving Downing Street in 2012 and who worked alongside him when they were both Tory researchers, told the Times on Thursday: "If he was a member of the public, or a backbench MP or a junior minister or even a cabinet minister, I'm certain that he would be for Leave. "That's his whole instinct. That's who he is. As prime minister he sees it from a different perspective and that's perfectly reasonable ... but I think that if he didn't have that perspective, he would be for Leave." But Mr Cameron, who has described himself as a Eurosceptic, said at the close of the G7 summit: "I am not a closet anything. I have pretty much had the same view about Europe ever since I got involved in active politics. "I have always taken the same view, which is that we are better off in this organisation but we should be aiming to reform this organisation, we should be looking to enhance the special status that Britain. "I have never been a closet Brexiteer. I am absolutely passionate about getting the right result, getting this reform in Europe and remaining part of it. It's in Britain's national interest." He pointed to a joint declaration by the leaders of the G7 countries - the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and Canada - at the end of the two-day Ise-Shima summit, which stated: "UK exit from the EU would reverse the trend toward greater global trade, investment and the jobs they create and is a further serious risk to growth". "When you are faced with a difficult decision, it is often a good thing to listen to what your friends think," the prime minister said. In an interview with BBC South political editor Peter Henley, one of the most senior Conservatives in the Vote Leave campaign, Boris Johnson noted Mr Hilton's comments and said it was "not too late". Asked if he was suggesting Mr Cameron should join him in campaigning for the UK to leave the EU, the former London mayor added: "Yes. There is more joy in Heaven over one that repenteth. Now is the time. There's a month to go." He added: "He has been a believer in democracy and over 20 years or so he has been a strong Eurosceptic." Mr Cameron, in turn, told LBC radio last week that

Summary: David Cameron has rejected claims he is a "closet Brexiteer," insisting he is "passionate" about staying in the EU.


A lawyer for the families of two unarmed republicans shot dead by the RUC in 1982 said they believed the PSNI is trying protect the RUC's reputation. The claim was made on the first day of a two-week review into some of the most controversial killings of the Troubles. The review is looking at 56 cases involving 97 deaths. They include killings by police officers and soldiers, and others where there are allegations of state collusion. A senior judge, Lord Justice Weir, is assessing what more needs to be done before inquests can be held to establish what happened. In his opening remarks, the judge said he hopes the review "will shed some light on the cases without producing too much heat". The review began with a discussion about so-called "shoot to kill cases", when RUC officers shot dead six unarmed republicans. A number of lawyers said the time taken by the police to disclose classified documents was the reason inquests had not yet taken place. A barrister for the PSNI said it simply does not have the resources to deal with the vast amount of material relating to legacy cases. But, a lawyer for the families of two of the men who were shot dead said they believe the PSNI is deliberately dragging its heels. Barry McDonald QC said the lack of disclosure of material by the PSNI was the biggest single impediment to the inquests taking place. "Any time there is light at the end of the tunnel for the families, the PSNI extends the tunnel," he told the court. The killings of 10 unarmed Catholic civilians by the army in Ballymurphy in August 1971 were also discussed on Monday. It was revealed that the Ministry of Defence has told lawyers representing the families of those who were killed that it cannot identify the soldiers who were on duty in Ballymurphy at the time of the shootings. The court was told that so far, the Army has only managed to trace one soldier. Lord Justice Weir stressed the importance of the army witnesses being found. "At the end of the day, we want to hear about the circumstances in which these people were shot, and those best placed to do that are those who shot them," he said. The judge said it was in everyone's interests that the soldiers who were there and fired shots came forward and explained why they did so. Lord Justice Weir has been asked to report on the state of readiness of each of the 56 legacy cases, and to identify which, if any, can proceed to inquest hearings. It will then be up to the Lord Chief Justice, Sir Declan Morgan, to decide what happens next. Likening the legacy inquests to spinning plates, the judge said "there simply aren't enough resources to spin all of the plates all of the time". He said he hopes the two week review will lead to an agreement about "which plates need to spin more urgently".

Summary: Police in Northern Ireland have been accused of blocking progress on inquests into controversial killings during the Troubles.


BTP said it had "unintentionally caused concern" by suggesting a new operating model, which meant all officers would investigate sexual offences. It said it would now carry out an "urgent review" of its plans. The number of sex crimes reported on London transport rose by over a third last year. The Sexual Offence Unit was originally set up to tackle crimes on the London transport network. In response to the news, the group End Violence Against Women (EVAW), said: "Good on British Transport Police for listening and having a re-think". EVAW had previously said losing the unit would "dilute the expertise" required to tackle sex crime. Figures released recently showed that between April and December 2015, police received 1,603 reports, compared with 1,117 complaints in the same period the year before. An internal risk assessment by Transport for London (TfL) has also suggested that the introduction of the Night Tube will lead to a rise in sexual offences on the Underground. In Japan, Russia, Brazil, India and Germany, seats and carriages are reserved for women on public transport to protect them from sexual harassment. Last August, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn sparked debate when he said he would consider introducing segregated carriages in Britain to stem the rise in assaults on public transport.

Summary: A specialist policing unit which investigates sexual offences on the Tube will not be disbanded the British Transport Police (BTP) has confirmed.


Two pairs of identical twins who were mixed up soon after they were born in 1998 and grew up apart, find each other almost 25 years later through a combination of chance events. It made headlines in July last year when The New York Times published a long and comprehensive article about it. The daily covered almost every aspect of the story, but the relationship between its main characters has kept evolving since they first met. It all started when a colleague of Bogota office worker Jorge Enrique Bernal Castro went to buy meat at William Canas Velasco's butcher's shop also in Bogota. She could not believe how similar her colleague and the butcher were. Both had the same skinny body, narrow face, small mouth and a cheeky smile. Intrigued by the similarities, she took a photo of the butcher and showed it to Jorge, who was dumbstruck. His curiosity piqued, Jorge got in touch with the butcher and the two met up. Their surprise was doubled, or quadrupled if you would like, when they realised that the person they had up until now believed to be their respective fraternal twins, Carlos Bernal Castro and Wilber Canas Velasco, bore a striking resemblance to each other. Carlos and Wilber are both big men, with robust heads, full lips and serious expressions. They little resemble Jorge and William and not just in physical terms. Jorge and William are more talkative, less formal and like to joke, while Carlos and Wilber are quieter, do not like banter, have a quicker temper and take more care of their looks. When I met them, Carlos and Wilber both had very similar white mobile phones, which they said they had bought separately. William and Jorge were born on 21 December 1988 in the Materno Infantil Hospital in Bogota. Wilber and Carlos were born a day later in northern Santander province. All four were born prematurely at seven months and when Carlos fell ill, he was taken along with Wilber to the Materno Infantil Hospital to be treated. Jorge thinks that both pairs of twins were placed in the same room and that one or more of the identifying wristbands they were wearing fell off and were then placed on the wrong babies. They all left hospital on the same day with their mother none the wiser. William was taken with Wilber by Wilber and Carlos's parents to a rural area in Santander while Carlos and Jorge stayed with Jorge's mother in Bogota. Many years later, William moved to Bogota to work at a butcher's, where he was spotted by Jorge's colleague. They also had the same tendency to play with their phones when the conversation turned away from them. "We are a little bit more ego-centric, bigger flirts," said Carlos talking about the similarities between him and his identical twin Wilber and their differences to Jorge and William "I think the two of us are better dancers than them," Carlos added. Before they all met up for the first time, all four had been apprehensive and worried what

Summary: The story could well be the plot of a Latin American soap opera - a Colombian one, to be more precise.


The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigated the German bank for the way it accounted for certain assets in reports filed during the financial crisis. The SEC said it over-valued some of these and did not have sufficient collateral to cover potential losses. Deutsche is settling without admitting or denying the charges. The bank said there was no reliable model at the time to value those trades, which were made in the aftermath of the credit crisis and the subsequent collapse of Lehman Brothers. The SEC said the risk for potential losses ran into billions of dollars - a risk which the SEC says was not properly reported to investors. Its investigation found that Deutsche overvalued the value of certain transactions designed to protect against losses on securities in the then highly volatile credit markets. The collateral covering the portfolio was only a fraction, approximately 9%, of the $98bn total in purchased protection. "At the height of the financial crisis, Deutsche Bank's financial statements did not reflect the significant risk in these large, complex illiquid positions," said Andrew Ceresney, director of the SEC's enforcement division. "Deutsche Bank failed to make reasonable judgments when valuing its positions and lacked robust internal controls over financial reporting." Last week, Deutsche Bank encountered anger from its shareholders at its annual general meeting. One of the causes of investor unease was the mounting tally of regulatory fines. Investors singled out a $2.5bn fine to settle investigations into the bank's involvement in the rigging of the Libor interest rate.

Summary: Deutsche Bank is paying $55m (£35.7m) to settle civil charges for allegedly mis-stating financial reports.


Lines in and out of Cardiff Central were closed early on Thursday morning after Network Rail's re-signalling work went on longer than planned. They reopened at 08:15 GMT but disruption has continued to cause services to be cancelled or delayed. Arriva Trains Wales hoped services would run on time by late evening. Sophie Holley was waiting to catch a train home to Rhoose in Vale of Glamorgan when it was cancelled, so had to arrange a lift instead. She said: "It's a bit of an issue, we've got to wait around in the cold now with a little one - it's a bit annoying." It added there was still severe disruption to Valley line services, but it said trains to Penarth, Coryton and Cardiff Bay would be reinstated throughout the day. Meanwhile, Maesteg services will start and terminate at Bridgend and a shuttle bus will run between Bridgend to Cardiff, calling at Pencoed, Llanharen and Pontyclun. Replacement buses have been put on between Cardiff and Newport and tickets for Cardiff rail services will be accepted by Cardiff Bus. Passengers took to Twitter to vent their anger at the delays. Dan Walsh wrote: "Sheer madness at Cardiff Central today: not good enough @ArrivaTW @GWRHelp @nationalrailenq." Rich Griff tweeted: "@GWRHelp been sat at a standstill outside Cardiff Central for over an hour. Anyone planned on travelling to Cardiff today. Don't bother." Arriva Trains Wales said: "We apologise for this disruption and would advise all passengers to check before they travel at www.arrivatrains.wales/check for the latest information on disruption to services and assure them that we are doing all we can to get trains back on schedule as quickly and safely as possible."

Summary: Rail disruption continues across south Wales following earlier cancellations between Cardiff to Newport after engineering works overran.


City went ahead in the 27th minute when Rhead headed down Paul Farman's free-kick and Adam Marriott turned his marker to fire home a left-footed effort. The hosts were level two minutes after the break when Ismail Yakubu prodded home from close range after a corner had been flicked on at the near post. Lincoln retook the lead in the 60th minute as a quick free-kick from Alex Woodyard found Jack Muldoon and his cross picked out Rhead, who made no mistake in beating Michael Poke. Rhead then wrapped up victory from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute after Jonny Margetts was tripped. But he missed the chance of a hat-trick seven minutes later when Poke tipped a second penalty around the post after Bradley Wood was bundled over. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Keane, 23, initially continued playing after a clash of heads during the 2-0 win over Rotherham on 20 February. But he was substituted on 32 minutes and missed the next two matches, returning on 5 March against Blackburn. "I felt alright to go on but I went down from a set play and said to the physio I couldn't see," Keane said. In November 2015, the Football Association released new guidelines that stated "anyone with a suspected concussion must be immediately removed from play". Keane added that it took him a while to get back to feeling "normal" following his injury. "At first I was just really dizzy all the time and had no memory of the past week, really," he told BBC Radio Lancashire. "The doctor asked me what year it was and I thought it was 1996. I was all over the place. "I got treated really well at the hospital, had a few scans and then had to take my time to get back to normal and thankfully now I am alright. "Looking back, [substituting me] was definitely the right thing to do. "They have to be extra cautious when it comes to head injuries and rightly so because you can get massive injuries to your brain."

Summary: Burnley defender Michael Keane has revealed he believed it was 1996 and had "no memory" of the previous week after suffering from concussion.


The government also said it would extend its campaign of air strikes against the so-called Islamic State (IS) in Iraq into Syria. So, how will Australia decide which refugees it will take, and what will happen to them when they arrive? Who will be accepted? Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Australia would take in 12,000 Syrian refugees from persecuted minorities - a significant increase on the 13,750 refugee places Australia had set aside for 2015. A team of Australian government officials will soon depart for the Middle East to work with the UN's refugee agency to identify and process potential candidates for resettlement. The government said its focus would be on those people most in need, in particular, the women, children and families of persecuted Syrian minorities who have sought refuge from the conflict in neighbouring Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Australian officials told local media the first refugees - who must pass health and security tests - could be in the country by December and the full 12,000 people settled by mid-2016. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates there are 7.6 million internally displaced Syrians and an another 4 million who have fled in search of protection. Which countries are in the best position to take migrants? Where will they live? In the biggest refugee resettlement in Australia in decades, it is likely the 12,000 Syrians will be resettled across Australia in major cities. Some regional towns have offered to take some of the refugees but they would need significant financial help to do so. The refugees are not expected to be housed in existing detention centres, such as the one in Villawood, in western Sydney, because those facilities - already mostly operating at capacity - house people whose refugee status has yet to be determined. Support such as English lessons, education for children and health services, will have to be provided, with the government estimating a total cost of up to A$700m ($494m; Â£321m) over four years. How have people reacted? The UNHCR "warmly" welcomed the announcement, as did many Australians, including some in Mr Abbott's own Liberal Party who had been urging him to take more refugees. Premier of Australia's most populous state, New South Wales, Mike Baird, whose recent plea to the government to do more is believed to have influenced Mr Abbott's decision, applauded "this bold and generous decision". The Labor Opposition - which had called for an extra 10,000 refugee places and A$100m in extra aid - also welcomed the announcement but warned the government not to take Greens leader Richard Di Natale tweeted that every refugee welcomed into Australia was "another person with a chance", but said bombing Syria "will only create more refugees and more suffering". Why is Australia only taking refugees from 'persecuted minorities'? In recent days, a number of prominent government members have said Australia should only accept Christian Syrians, sparking fierce criticism from other quarters. But Mr Abbott denied the government was discriminating against Muslim Syrians who also face grave peril. "There are persecuted minorities that are Muslim, there

Summary: In a major policy turnaround, the Australian government has said it will significantly increase its refugee intake and its financial aid to the UN for people displaced by the conflicts in the Middle East.


It means the London club's Centre Court will hold almost 9,000 people for the June tournament which marks the start of the grass-court season. Queen's has also signed a deal with the Lawn Tennis Association to host the championships until 2026. Tournament director Stephen Farrow said the traditional Wimbledon warm-up event would be "better than ever" in 2017. "Last year we sold out within 24 hours and enjoyed a 20% increase in hospitality sales, so the demand for an increase in capacity is clear," he added. Britain's two-time Wimbledon and Olympic champion Andy Murray is the holder and record five-time winner. Next year's tournament runs from 19 to 25 June.

Summary: The Queen's Club will increase its capacity by more than 2,000 seats for the 2017 Aegon Championships.


Matt Bloomfield made his 400th appearance for Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday in the latest chapter of a Chairboys career which has included a League Cup semi-final, two promotions, three relegations and two play-off campaigns. It's not something that I set out to achieve. It's not something that I ever really thought might happen up until last season. And it's something that rarely happens in football, let alone in League Two. My first Wycombe game wasn't very memorable. We lost 2-0 at home against Rushden and Diamonds. We were poor, they were better, I was average. Welcome to the real world. I was 19 but had played for Ipswich and lived at home up until that point. I hadn't experienced the world and my mind was very narrow about lower-league football. I entered a dressing room that was in transition. Unbeknown to myself several of the squad were on their way out of the club and I was the new kid from Ipswich that had come to take their place. I was used to changing with my mates, trying to get into a team that was full of extremely rich footballers. I was now part of a first team of players on normal earnings with mortgages to pay and kids to feed. Most of these were out of contract and told that they could leave. It was something of a culture shock to me. That has to be Torquay away in May 2014. To all intents and purposes we were destined to be relegated from League Two, and the repercussions of relegation for the club into non-league could have been huge. I'm certain that I wouldn't be writing this now if that had been the case. Changes and cuts would have had to be made and for those reasons alone the fact that we avoided relegation by a single goal makes it the stand-out game. The relief and elation was massive. Rushden and Diamonds away at Nene Park. Steve Claridge laid the ball off onto my left foot, 25 yards out. Head down and strike through the ball. Top corner! I know it doesn't really sound like me but I can assure you that there is video footage to prove that it is true! One funny moment that isn't very well known is the day I knocked the referee's front teeth out at Leyton Orient. About 10 years ago a long ball was played over my head in central midfield and I'm running back towards my goal... our defender clears the ball and as I turn I collide with the referee with the side of my head hitting his mouth. Orient's youth team players were out on the pitch after the game looking for his teeth and I felt absolutely awful. Apart from apologising profusely after the game I feel bad that to this day I haven't ever spoken to that referee again. Contract length, budget cuts, managers changing more often, the opportunity to earn more money elsewhere or just the feeling of 'what if the grass is greener at another club?'. I

Summary: Four hundred games at one football club, spanning 12 and a half years.


The visitors were ahead after five minutes when debutant goalkeeper Stuart Moore made a hash of his punch and Will Boyle scored from close range. Isaac Vassell missed an open goal from five yards for the hosts and Jonathan Smith's header was then cleared off the line by Jack Barthram. The hosts again came close to a leveller midway through the half as Smith's half-volley went close, while Jordan Cook's wonderful free-kick cannoned against the angle of post and bar. However, the Robins broke with devastating pace to make it 2-0 on 28 minutes, with Carl Winchester picking out Barthram to fire past Moore. Luton did reduce the deficit on 41 minutes, Vassell slamming home from inside the box. Cheltenham had a third on the hour, with Billy Waters on hand to beat Moore and score his 12th of the season. The Hatters were back in the game once more in the 72nd minute when Liam Davis turned Olly Lee's drilled free-kick into his own net, but the hosts couldn't find an equaliser.

The All Wales Medicines Strategy Group (AWMSG) has advised the Welsh Government not to fund the daily pill Prep. It said the case for cost-effectiveness "had not been proven". It comes weeks after Scotland's medicines body backed its use. Scientists have found a daily dose of the drug can protect people at high risk of contracting the virus. Around 150 new people are diagnosed with HIV in Wales each year, nearly half from sexually transmitted infection between men. The drug is suggested for people at high risk who might not have safe sex. One estimate is it might cost Â£2.5m a year in Wales. An independent HIV expert group has already called it "highly effective" when used with the right groups and in the right doses. AWMSG said there were "several uncertainties and limitations" in the economic model provided by the drug company. The firm insisted there was a "robust clinical and cost-effectiveness case". What does Prep do? Sarah Fuhrmann, national director for Terrence Higgins Trust in Wales, said: "We are disappointed by this short-sighted recommendation. "For every person who receives an HIV diagnosis, the Welsh NHS will pay on average Â£360,000 in lifetime treatment costs. Prep can save the NHS this money in the long term, whilst taking us one step closer to ending the HIV epidemic. "We realise this is not the final decision, but if acted upon, this advice would lead to a postcode lottery within the UK, with major inequalities between borders in terms of who is protected against HIV." Scotland is due to become the first place in the UK to routinely offer Prep. A Welsh Government spokesman said the health secretary would consider the recommendation and "make an announcement in due course".

Summary: A "game-changing" drug which dramatically cuts the chances of being infected with HIV should not be provided by the NHS in Wales, a body has recommended.


Under the plan, a single point of contact, such as a teacher or health visitor, would look out for the welfare of every child under the age of 18. The Scottish government said the "named person' would act as a central point to help families if they needed it. But objectors said it would undermine parents. The measures, in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act, are due to come into force from August 2016. Ministers said the "named person" would act as a liaison between the child, their family and access to any services they may need. Those in favour said it would make help easier to find and co-ordinate action if children needed it and could act as an early warning system. But objectors argued that the definition of "well-being" was so broad it had the potential to lead to disputes between the state and families. The No To Named Persons (NO2NP) campaign group said the measures breached data protection laws and the human rights of parents. A legal challenge against the legislation failed at the Court of Session last month but NO2NP is considering an appeal. The policy is already being rolled out in parts of Scotland including the Highlands, Edinburgh, Fife, Angus and South Ayrshire. Alex Cole-Hamilton, head of policy at children's charity Aberlour Child Care Trust, said: "I can understand that there is a lot of anxiety, particularly in those groups that are opposed to it. "I think a lot of that anxiety stems from misinformation and some misunderstanding of the provisions of the Act. "The named person has been in place in areas like Highland for a significant period of time. The vast majority of parents have had no cause to have any contact with them." A spokesman for the NO2NP campaign attacked the legislation as "a ruthless and perverse intrusion into the lives of families" and "a Big Brother-style snoopers' charter". He said: "NO2NP remains firmly of the view that the 'state guardian' legislation is fundamentally flawed and cannot be corrected by guidance. "It is wrong in principle to grant named persons the legal responsibility for the very broadly defined well-being of every child. This will inevitably undermine parents and stretch already limited resources. "The data sharing provisions of the act are flawed and will inevitably come into conflict with existing data protection laws."

Summary: A consultation has been launched on how controversial plans to appoint a "named person" for every child in Scotland will work in practice.


The seven-month-old died at a house on Melrosegate, York, on 3 November. The death prompted a Sheffield-based bed company to issue a product warning. A joint investigation between police and Trading Standards is under way. North Yorkshire Police said the 35-year-old man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was assisting with the inquiry. No cause of death for the infant has been confirmed. Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire Police have issued a safety warning to customers of Playtime Beds Ltd. "If they have ever had any safety concerns or a child has suffered an injury as a result of the design of the bed, then please contact us," a spokesman said. Playtime Beds Ltd of Sheffield, which has ceased trading, is working with Trading Standards over safety concerns about products it had produced since 2011. It issued a product warning in December which advised that risks to children could include asphyxiation or strangulation, falling, entrapment or crushing. The company produced a range of bespoke children's cots, twin beds, bunk beds, cabin beds, high sleeper beds and triple and quadruple beds. It added parents should stop using the beds immediately and to contact Trading Standards.

Summary: A man has been interviewed under caution by police investigating the sudden death of a baby.
