The prime minister told LBC Radio her party had come a long way on issues such as gay marriage, while her own attitudes had changed over the years. There would be no "going back", and the Tories would continue to defend LGBT rights and extend them where possible. The DUP is opposed to equal marriage and same-sex couples adopting children. Some Conservatives have expressed reservations about their party's parliamentary deal with the DUP - which will allow Mrs May to govern and pass key legislation after she failed to win an overall majority at the election. Mrs May, who is holding a reception later to mark the 50th anniversary of legislation decriminalising homosexuality, said she did not agree with the DUP on a number of social issues but the alliance would not affect existing equality or discrimination laws or stop the Conservatives from seeking to advance them. In the LBC interview, Mrs May - whose father was a vicar - spoke of the impression left on her after attending a same-sex marriage in her Maidenhead constituency, witnessing a couple tie the knot who would otherwise have had to travel to South Africa to get married. "It is seeing people having, you know, their lives changed and... being able to take a different approach to their lives because of the government passing legislation like that that I think has been so important," she said. "I think if you look at what has happened over the years, you will see a change that's taken place in the Conservative Party and in individuals. "I'll be honest, my attitude on a number of issues has changed over the years as well." As an opposition MP, Mrs May voted against reducing the age of consent for gay people, the repeal of Section 28 and civil partnerships, but as home secretary and minister for women and equalities she played a key role in steering the legalisation of same-sex marriage through Parliament. While she understood people's concerns about the DUP's stance on several issues, she said, she had a duty to form a stable government and there were many areas of agreement such as counter-terrorism and the future of the Union. "The Conservative Party has not gone back," she said. "We will continue to push forward, to enhance LGBT rights and we are pleased with what we have been able to do so far, but want to do more. "And that will not be changed by our relationship with the DUP." Asked whether she would now support Anglican vicars being able to bless same-sex marriages in church, Mrs May said this was a matter for the Church of England. But she added: "The Church of England has itself come a distance in terms of looking at these issues. And obviously they will want to reflect as attitudes more generally change, as society changes." In an article for Pink News, Mrs May said that while it remained a matter for the devolved government in Northern Ireland, she would supported legalising equal marriage, believing that LGBT people should have the same

Summary: The Conservatives will not retreat in their support for gay rights because of their pact with the Democratic Unionists, Theresa May has insisted.


In a brief but frank interview with foreign affairs reporter Christiane Amanpour at the Women for Women International event in New York City on Tuesday, Mrs Clinton said that she has conducted an "excruciating analysis" of her failed presidential campaign as part of a book she is writing. What has she learned? While admitting that she made mistakes and that her campaign had "challenges", "problems" and "shortfalls", she pointed the finger at two men - FBI Director James Comey and Russian President Vladimir Putin - as the proximate cause of her defeat. "I was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian Wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off," she said. "The evidence for that intervening event is, I think, compelling." Mrs Clinton also noted that as the first woman to run for president as a major party candidate, misogyny may have also been a factor in her loss. "It is real," Mrs Clinton said of discrimination against women. "It is very much a part of the landscape politically, socially and economically." She said her election would have been "a really big deal" for women's rights, sending a message around the world. At one point, Amanpour joked that the president would likely take to social media to respond to the former candidate's remarks . "If he wants to tweet about me then I am happy to be the diversion because we have lot of things to worry about," Mrs Clinton said. By that evening, Mr Trump indeed offered his Twitter response, again saying the Russia allegations were a Democratic attempt to avoid blame for their defeat. Other opponents of the former secretary of state will be quick to point out that explaining away her campaign missteps as mere challenges, problems and shortfalls gives short shrift to strategic lapses that left her vulnerable to Mr Trump's economic populism, allowing him to prevail in the decisive Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. Mrs Clinton's apparent response, however, is that she had to defend Mr Obama's presidential accomplishments and sell her pragmatic approach as the way to improve American lives. "That was not as exciting as saying throw it all out and start over again, but it's how you make change in America - and lasting change that would improve people's lives," she said. When it came to foreign policy, Mrs Clinton shared some thoughts on the "wicked problems" currently confronting Mr Trump. She said the effort to end North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes requires a regional effort, with US positions presented in critical negotiations and "not just thrown off in a tweet some morning". She also said she supported the recent US missile strike to punish the Syrian government for its use of chemical weapons, although she says she is not convinced it has made much of a difference. "If all it was was a one-off effort," she said, "it's not going to have much of a lasting

Summary: The election may be over, with Donald Trump's presidency more than 100 days old, but Hillary Clinton isn't ready to let go.


Deiseane Santiago, 22, became pregnant in January while visiting her fiancé in Kegworth on a five-month visa. Her attempt for a UK visa extension was initially denied and the Home Office said she would have to return. However, the Home Office said it was now reconsidering her case. On Thursday morning, Miss Santiago was told she was no longer at immediate risk of deportation. A Home Office statement said: "We are in contact with Ms Santiago and are reconsidering her case." A friend of the couple, Susan Cooke, said: "It is a great relief that 'Daisy' is no longer at risk of the Home Office turning up on Friday to remove her. "However, we are not out of the woods yet. But for the first time this week, things are looking hopeful. This could actually turn into a success story with a healthy baby being born in the UK." Miss Santiago's fiancé, Simon Ellis, said he feels "scared and trapped". "All I want is a safe birth for my baby," he said. "I don't want a chance for that baby to catch microcephaly and I don't think I should have to take that chance." Miss Santiago said: "I'm feeling a lot of stress. I'm depressed, I can't eat. "If it wasn't about this virus Zika and advice of doctors and my mum telling me that I shouldn't go home, I would be home." Earlier, supporting an application to extend her visa, her GP cited Public Health England advice over pregnant women travelling to Zika hotspots. Miss Santiago, from São Paulo, met Mr Ellis online three and a half years ago. She travelled to Kegworth to visit him in November and the couple got engaged about six weeks ago. The couple changed her return flight to November - after the baby's due date - and applied to have her visa extended until then. On Monday, Miss Santiago - now 25 weeks pregnant - was told her application was refused, and that she could be arrested and deported within days. A letter from the Home Office acknowledged the GP's advice that pregnant women should avoid travel to countries "with active transmission of the Zika virus", but stated advice "is in respect of British nationals travelling to affected countries".

Summary: A pregnant Brazilian woman advised not to return to the country amid Zika virus fears is to have her UK deportation case reviewed.


Several years on from their initial meeting, though, the venue has seen the opening of The Nap, a comedy thriller that stars '71 and Unbroken actor Jack O'Connell as Dylan Spokes, a local lad on the verge of winning the World Championships and losing everything he's worked for. What changed in-between to alter Bean's perspective was the same thing that changed the way many saw the game - match-fixing. In 2013, the former world number five Stephen Lee was found guilty of seven charges in what officials called "the worst case of snooker corruption we've seen". That, and other cases involving the likes of John Higgins and Joe Jogia, gave Bean the impetus to create the story and the characters he had been looking for. "I couldn't think how we could have a play about snooker for a couple of years, but then there were a few match-fixing scandals and I came up with the idea that if the plot was driven by a scandal, that would give us the opportunity to have a professional snooker player in the cast. "So Dylan would have to play a match against a snooker player who has got no lines and if the audience knows that Jack is meant to be 'tanking' the frame, then that would fit the plot and we'd still have a game of snooker in the play. "Richard was happy with that and so I went away and wrote it." He says Wilson's idea was to "marry two audiences" that use the Crucible - snooker fans and theatregoers - and "get a few more blokes into the theatre". Even after he had agreed to write it though, Bean said he still was not convinced. "I said it was a brilliant marketing idea, but a rubbish idea for a play because actors can't play snooker. "It's one of the most technical sports there is. "We all play it badly and we all think it looks quite easy and then you find yourself with a cue in your hand on a full-size table and it's utterly daunting." He says the writing process involved him joining a snooker club and playing on a regular basis, to get an insight into how hard the game is. "In the afternoons, I would go down to the club and hire a table and play a few frames against myself, to study the art of angles. "In the play, there's an invention called a sighting ball - a white ball covered in colour polka dots. "I came up with that while playing. It helps you learn where to hit the target ball to pot it. "It allowed me to get into the game in a technical way." The play did not just require him to get to grips with the sport though, but also with the city that has been the home of the World Championships for four decades - Sheffield. "I was fortunate that an actor I have worked with several times - Robert Hudson - is Sheffield born and bred. "He was born down the Eccy

Summary: When Sheffield Crucible associate director Richard Wilson approached playwright Richard Bean with the idea of putting on a play there about snooker, the sport that has made the venue internationally famous, he was against the idea, as "actors can't play snooker".


The data has been released on the internet for use by the global scientific community. The ash tree genome map is the latest advance in fighting Chalara, which causes ash dieback. According to new figures, ash dieback is spreading rapidly in Britain and has been found in more than 200 woods. Evidence from continental Europe suggests that as many as 90% of ash trees could eventually die from the infection. Scientists are searching for genetic clues to why some trees appear to be able to survive. A team at Queen Mary University of London, has mapped the genome of a native ash tree for the first time, as part of the research. The tree came from a wood in Gloucestershire owned by the Earth Trust. Dr Richard Buggs of Queen Mary University of London, said it was a big leap forward. He told the BBC: "This is the best available sequence for ash - and it is therefore a very good reference for anyone working on anything to do with ash trees." In June, the DNA sequence of a Danish ash tree with resistance to the disease was revealed by a team at the Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL) , the John Innes Centre and the Genome Analysis Centre in Norwich. They have also sequenced the DNA of the fungus. An online game, Fraxinus, which the public can use to help scientists improve their data analysis, has been launched by the Norwich team. It has been played by nearly 20,000 people from more than 100 countries. The long-term goal is to map the genes that give a minority of ash trees resistance to the pathogen. "The genome sequencing work is really increasing the number of genetic variants we've identified, which will help us to associate sources of variation in the tree with the genetics," said Dr Dan MacLean of TSL. Ash dieback was first discovered in the UK in February 2012 in an import of nursery stock. In the autumn, a small number of cases were discovered in ash trees in established woodland in Norfolk and Suffolk. Forests in the south and east are among the worst affected, and the disease has now spread to woodland and nurseries across the UK, according to the Forestry Commission. More details of the ash genome sequencing work and an interview with Dr Richard Buggs can be heard at 1100 BST on BBC Radio 4 on Friday, 27 September. Ashes to Ashes is presented by Professor Adam Hart and produced by Ania Lichtarowicz.

Summary: UK scientists have mapped the genome of the British ash tree, in research to find a way to protect woodlands from a deadly fungus.


The trade body that represents the sector published research suggesting more than 10,700 jobs were directly supported self-catering tourism. A further 4,500 jobs are indirectly supported by the money flowing through the sector, it claimed. The research covers nearly 17,000 premises. They have been classified as self-catering properties by business rate assessors. That does not include homes for rent through websites such as Airbnb. The findings follow economic research into the impact of golf tourism in Scotland, which was published this week and which found there was nearly as much value from that, at £286m. The VisitScotland and Scottish Enterprise study found growth of 30% in value between 2008 and 2016, with 4,700 jobs thought to be supported by golf tourism. The self-catering research has been carried out by the Frontline economics consultancy for the Association of Scotland's Self-Caterers. It drew on data from 2015 and 2016, including visitor surveys, assessors' statistics on non-domestic rates, and online surveys of both visitors and property owners. It concluded that 23% of visitors to Scotland rented a self-catering property for at least part of their visit. Of those, 32% came from England, with the north-west being the largest regional contributor and London the smallest. Scots renting self-catering properties in Scotland accounted for 30% of the total, while the other 27 EU nations represented only 4%. Most groups were made up only of adults, with children included in 30% of rentals. The average spend on accommodation was reckoned to be £643 per group, totalling £313m. They spent, on average, £245 on travel to and from the property. While the total spend was reckoned to be close to £800m, the value added to the economy in 2016 was put at £293m. Of that, £79m was in the Highlands, including Moray, supporting 4,100 jobs, directly and indirectly. Edinburgh and the Lothians saw almost £50m of economic benefit over a year. Meanwhile, the golf tourism research estimated that overseas golf visitors spent an average £338 per night during a trip to Scotland last year - more than four times the daily spend of the average overseas visitor. Almost half of golf visitors staying at least one night in Scotland were from overseas, with the average being more than 10 days. The North American market represents 30% of the total, with 14% from the rest of Europe. Most overseas golfing visitors had visited Scotland before, and one in eight golfing visitors was female. Those women tended to be better golfers, with lower handicaps. Danny Cusick of Scottish Enterprise, which co-funded the research, said Scottish golf has "tremendous international appeal, so it comes as no surprise that the value of this important tourism sector has grown enormously in recent years. "But we mustn't rest on our laurels; we want ambitious Scottish golf tourism companies to capitalise on this upward trend and consider how best they can develop and scale their business to meet the growing domestic and international demand."

Summary: Visitors who rent self-catering properties are thought to be worth almost £300m to the Scottish economy, according to new economic research.


The FTSE 100 rose 102.3 points, or 1.7%, to 6,156.32. Rising prices of metals lifted mining shares, and Anglo American climbed 3.6%. The biggest riser on the index was Coca-Cola HBC, which was 6.5% higher after Citigroup upgraded its rating on the stock to "buy". In the FTSE 250, shares in bookmaker Ladbrokes jumped 6.5%. The Competition and Markets Authority said Ladbrokes and Gala Coral might have to sell about 350 to 400 shops for their planned merger to be "conditionally cleared", but the figure was lower than expected. On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.64% against the dollar to $1.4518, and dropped 0.68% against the euro to â‚¬1.2952.

Summary: (Close): The London market rose more than 1%, recovering most of the ground lost on Thursday.


Analysts say the primaries are a good indicator of who may win the presidential elections later this year. With 93% of the votes counted, governing coalition candidate Daniel Scioli had a 14-point lead over his conservative rival, Mauricio Macri. The first round of the presidential election will be held on 25 October. President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who has been in power since December 2007, will not be able to stand again as the constitution limits presidents to two terms in office. She was preceded in office by her late husband, Nestor Kirchner. Their combined 12 years in office have been dubbed "the Kirchner era" and opposition candidates have been campaigning on a promise of change. Mr Scioli, who is currently governor of Buenos Aires province, is the only candidate for the governing Front for Victory coalition. His main rival is Buenos Aires mayor Mauricio Macri of the conservative Cambiemos (Let's Change) coalition. With 93% of the votes counted, Mr Macri had won 24.4% compared to Mr Scioli's 38.3%. Third was Sergio Massa, a congressman who broke away from the Front for Victory coalition to form his United for a New Alternative party. Voting in the primaries is compulsory and is not restricted to party members but open to all those eligible to cast their ballot in the presidential polls. Whoever wins is therefore seen as a favourite for the presidential polls on 25 October. The primaries were introduced in 2009 to cut down on the number of candidates running in the presidential elections with contenders having to win a minimum of 1.5% to be eligible to stand in the first round on 25 October. If no candidate wins 45% of the vote or 40% with a 10-point margin over the second-placed person, a second round will be held on 24 November. Whoever wins will need to tackle a high inflation rate, which independent analysts estimate at 30%. Mr Macri is campaigning on a promise to quickly free the markets from restraints introduced by President Fernandez while Mr Scioli advocates gradual change.

Summary: The presidential candidate for Argentina's governing coalition has won a comfortable majority in primary elections held on Sunday.


Simon Dobbin, from Suffolk, was left brain damaged after the assault in Southend, Essex, in March 2015. Three of the 12 men sentenced at Basildon Crown Court were jailed for five years for violent disorder. Mr Dobbin's wife told the court her husband had been given a life sentence through the group's actions. He spent a year in hospital as a result of the attack which happened after his team, Cambridge United, played at Southend United's ground Roots Hall. Mr Dobbin was in court for sentencing - the first time he had come face-to-face with his attackers - but had to leave when he became upset. Det Ch Insp Martin Pasmore, who led the investigation into the attack, said the men were like a "pack of animals". He said: "These are individuals that are mainly spending their time in pubs and drinking and looking for the opportunity to have fights with other so-called football fans/hooligans." The detective also said accusations that Mr Dobbin had been ejected from the stadium on the day he was attacked were "absolute nonsense". "Let me be clear, Simon Dobbin is a thoroughly decent man," he added. "He was not involved in any form of disturbance and was not ejected from the match or any other establishment. "He is an entirely innocent victim of an unprovoked savage attack which left him with a permanent and devastating brain injury." In a victim impact statement, wife Nicole Dobbin said she "hates what these violent thugs have done to us". The offence of committing violent disorder carries a maximum term of five years in prison. The shortest sentence - 16 months - was given to Rhys Pullen, who pleaded guilty to the charge earlier in proceedings. Eight men were found guilty of violent disorder. They were sentenced to the following: Three men were jailed for conspiracy to commit violent disorder: All of the men were given a 10-year football banning order. Ian Young, 41, of Brightwell Avenue, Westcliff was found guilty of assisting an offender by hiding the group while police were conducting a search. He will be sentenced next month.

Summary: A group of football hooligans described as "a pack of animals" has been jailed over an attack which left a football fan unable to walk or speak.


Oliseh, 41, had been in the job for only eight months. Nigeria have installed Samson Siasia to oversee next month's crucial 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Group G leaders Egypt. "Your contractual violations and the interest of the nation necessitates that I tender my resignation," he wrote to the Nigeria Football Federation. "So little help is being rendered me in getting the players to give their best and very vital conditions and advantages to the team play are also being sacrificed... my several e-mails and others seeking your aid to effectively carry out my duties were ignored." The NFF technical director Shaibu Amodu, who has managed the national team on four occasions, is widely expected to take charge of the team on a temporary basis. Former Nigeria captain Oliseh endured a turbulent reign as Nigeria boss after succeeding Stephen Keshi in July 2015. Some high-profile players have retired, including goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama - Nigeria's most-capped player, who quit after he was replaced as captain. Two weeks later striker Emmanuel Emenike also announced his retirement from international football. In early February, a frustrated Oliseh posted an eight-minute video rant on his own website to hit back at what he called the "insanity" of his critics. He had come under pressure after Nigeria failed to get past the group stages of the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda. The coach later apologised to the NFF for his outburst aimed at the Nigerian media as well as some of his former international team-mates. Oliseh had also gone public with the money problems affecting his team during the continental tournament in Rwanda, to the embarrassment of his employers. Nigeria face seven-time African champions Egypt in back-to-back 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers next month. They are two points behind group leaders Egypt after two rounds of matches with only group winners guaranteed automatic qualification to the tournament in Gabon.

Summary: Sunday Oliseh has resigned as coach of Nigeria citing contract violations, unpaid wages and lack of support.


Daniel Jones, 59, from Enfield, is currently serving a prison sentence for his role in the infamous £25m jewellery heist of 2015. He has now admitted being involved in an attempt to break into a safe in Chatila jewellers in Old Bond Street, Mayfair, in August 2010. Two other men have pleaded not guilty. Terry Perkins, 68, of Enfield, has denied making off with goods worth more than a million US dollars from a jewellers between 27 and 31 August 2010. Charles Matthews, 54, from Virginia Water, Surrey, denies one count of handling stolen goods. They are both due to stand trial on 27 February at Southwark Crown Court.

Summary: One of the ringleaders behind the Hatton Garden raid has admitted trying to steal £1m of gems from a London jewellers five years earlier.


Zafreen Khadam, 32, is alleged to have posted links to execution videos and guides for would-be terrorists on Twitter and Whatsapp under names such as 'PrincessKuffar'. Prosecutors say the posts "glorified" IS and "encouraged terrorism". Miss Khadam, of Vincent Road, Sheffield, denies the charges. Simon Davis, prosecuting, told Sheffield Crown Court she described Kuwaiti-born Mohammed Emwazi - nicknamed "Jihadi John" - as "kind of scary" but said she "would marry him". In another message, he said, Miss Khadam declared she wanted "to live the IS life" and "supports IS and supports the mujahideen". "The prosecution case is that this defendant was disseminating terrorist information or propaganda, or spreading the word," Mr Davis said. "Our case is that her intention was to encourage people to commit, prepare or instigate acts of terror." Jurors heard Miss Khadam shared the links using 14 different accounts, after several were closed down by Twitter. The description for one Twitter profile shown to the jury, 'PrincessISback6', read: "Love Nuttella and kittens. I hate coconuts more than kufr. Used to date but then I found Allah. Pro Jihadi John's left hand". Among the links shared were videos of Kurdish fighters being executed, seven issues of "terrorist publication" Dabiq and a speech entitled 'What is Terrorism?', the court heard. The jury heard Miss Khadam had confirmed in interview that links to the magazines were posted by her. Mr Davis said Miss Khadam had also provided a link to a document called Jihadi John and the Right to be Violent, and another which gave tips on how to hide from the authorities. He said: "This is effectively a guide for a would-be terrorist to evade detection from the law enforcement agencies, and she favourited that." Miss Khadam denies ten charges of disseminating terrorist publications between February and March 2015. The trial continues.

Summary: An alleged Islamist sympathiser accused of sharing so-called Islamic State propaganda online said she would marry "Jihadi John", a court has heard.


The decision comes after a report by the UN cultural agency Unesco said the area "should be off-limits to commercial logging in its entirety". The Tasmanian Wilderness covers about a fifth of the island and is one of the world's last big temperate forests. Conservation groups have welcomed the Unesco report and the logging decision. In 2014 the Australian government asked the agency to revoke the special status of the forest to open up parts of it to logging in order to boost the island's economy, where unemployment is above the national average. But the move - by the government of former PM Tony Abbott - attracted much opposition from environmental groups. The Unesco report released on Saturday said the organisation "does not consider a World Heritage property recognised for its outstanding cultural and natural values the place to experiment with commercial logging of any kind". The Tasmanian Wilderness is home to ancient forests, some of the tallest flowering plants in the world and is a stronghold for several animals that are either extinct or threatened on Australia's mainland. Both the Australian federal and the Tasmanian state government have said they will abide by that recommendation.

Summary: The Australian and Tasmanian authorities are abandoning their bid to have logging permitted in the Tasmanian Wilderness, a World Heritage site.


Media playback is not supported on this device The 42-year-old, who passed the mark of Cape Horn on Christmas Day after 48 days at sea, is behind only race leader Armel Le Cleac'h. The Welshman is aiming to become the first Briton to win the race. Thomson had led for the majority of the race but was overtaken by Le Cleac'h when he suffered a damaged foil. The leaders are now well up their South Atlantic ascent and, after rounding Cape Horn, the skippers begin their journey north back across the Atlantic towards the finish port at Les Sables-d'Olonne. Media playback is not supported on this device Thomson regained the lead in the round-the-world race north of the Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean on 30 November, but has since lost ground. He broke two race records prior to being overtaken, as he reached the Cape of Good Hope in record time. The Vendee Globe takes place every four years. Since the first race in 1989, only 71 of 138 starters have completed the voyage, which is known for being one of the most gruelling sporting challenges in the world. Find out how to get into sailing with our special guide.

Summary: Alex Thomson is attempting to overturn a deficit of about 140 miles in the Vendee Globe Trophy, with the leaders now past the halfway point of the race.


NVA has concluded missives with the Catholic Church for St Peter's Seminary in Cardross, Argyll and Bute. The A-listed building was designed and built in the 1960s as a training college for priests but it has not been used since the 1980s and is now a ruin. NVA aims to restore part of the seminary and use it as an art space. Its plan would stabilise the structure and gradually restore some interior spaces for cultural and educational use. The charity has already received £100,000 from Creative Scotland's National Lottery Fund towards the project. It still needs to raise £2m by 2013 to take its proposals forward. St Peter's Seminary was designed by Glasgow architects Gillespie, Kidd and Coia. The Roman Catholic seminary, which belonged to the Archdiocese of Glasgow, was completed and consecrated in 1966. The distinctive zig-zag design and concrete appearance soon brought architectural recognition to the site. However, as numbers entering the religious life fell and with high maintenance costs, the decision was taken to close the college. In 1980 the seminary was deconsecrated and fell into a state of disrepair. The building was Category A listed by Historic Scotland in 1992. The World Monuments Fund, which works to preserve endangered cultural landmarks, added St Peter's College to its register in June 2007.

Summary: A public arts charity aims to raise £10m over the next two years to help save a building considered one of Scotland's great modernist structures.


Robert Sadler, 59, died at his home in Llanrumney Avenue, Llanrumney, on 10 January this year. Emma Saddler, 27, appeared at Cardiff Crown Court via video link on Wednesday. She was initially arrested on suspicion of murder and detained under the Mental Health Act. She was transferred to a clinic in Brighton which specialises in mental illness. The court heard she was re-arrested on Tuesday and charged at Brighton Magistrates' Court, before her case was sent to Cardiff Crown Court. She appeared via video link from Brighton Magistrates' Court and was remanded to a hospital until her next court appearance on 12 January 2017.

Summary: A woman has appeared in court charged with murder and arson after her father died following a house fire in Cardiff.


Significant growth in sales of seafood and whisky helped exports increase £421m (8%) in 2016. Exports to EU countries were worth £2.3bn, up £133m, which the Scottish government said underlined the importance of European markets. Whisky exports were worth £4bn, up £153m (4%) from 2015, while fish and seafood sales were up £156M to £759m. Rural economy secretary Fergus Ewing said: "Since this government came into office, the value of food exports has more than doubled. Food and drink is now one of the standout success stories in our economy, increasing growth and supporting jobs across the country. "Our produce has an excellent reputation around the world and it's clear the industry is going from strength to strength. The increased collaboration between industry and public sector and the Food and Drink Export Plan are helping this by identifying opportunities to support businesses and breaking down the barriers to trade. "These figures show the importance of retaining access to the vital European markets, which are currently worth £2.3bn to the sector, and represent our largest export market. "We shouldn't have to face the choice between remaining as part of the UK and the EU single market. The pursuit of a hard Brexit is a major threat to this success and these figures show why we must work to protect Scotland's place in Europe. "Scotland's food and drink sector is in fantastic health, and next week's strategy launch will outline how we plan to support the industry to build upon this success and further grow the sector to 2030." James Withers, chief executive of Scotland Food & Drink, said the latest export figures were "fantastic news" and a new high for Scottish food and drink". He said: "This industry is Scotland's fastest-growing major sector. Yet we have huge ambitions to grow further. "We are clear we want to internationalise our food industry, following in the footsteps of our greatest export, Scotch whisky. We have now doubled food exports since 2007, transforming the level of trade in growing markets like Asia. "That is crucial to extend our footprint beyond just Europe, which is still the destination for over 70% of our food exports. "The game-changer has been developing a national brand for Scottish produce in export markets, with industry and government working hand in hand to invest in overseas trade experts and activity. If we now further deepen that work, this success story has much further to go." David Williamson of the Scotch Whisky Association said it was clear the Scottish food and drink was "leading in the way" in terms of the country's economic and export performance. He added: "Scotch Whisky continues to be the most significant part of this success, with overseas shipments making up around three-quarters of total food and drink exports. "But we need support from governments as we deal with the challenges and opportunities ahead, including Brexit."

Summary: Food and drink exports from Scotland rose to a record £5.5bn last year, government figures show.


Ann Khoshbin, owner of Rose Garden Day Nursery in Uplands, is to be awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to education. She set up her business after being unable to find suitable childcare for her own children. She said: "It's lovely, I'm pleased and humbled really. She said of receiving the letter informing her of the honour: "It was such a surprise, I just cried, I couldn't believe it. "I don't do the work to have a medal. I do it because I absolutely love it. It's a family business." Mrs Khoshbin also provides work placements for college students and gives talks to students.

Other recipients of BEMs from south-west Wales are: Also recognised in the birthday honours list is Swansea councillor Peter Black who will be appointed CBE for services to politics and public life in Wales. Mr Black was a Liberal Democrat AM between 1999 and 2016 and has represented the Cwmbwrla ward as a councillor since 1984. British honours are awarded on merit, for exceptional achievement or service. All of the recipients will be invited to a Buckingham Palace garden party to celebrate their achievements.

Summary: The owner of a Swansea nursery has said she is "pleased and humbled" to be recognised in the Queen's birthday honours list.


His family have described the 48-year-old as a "wonderful dad and husband, a loving son, brother and uncle", and a chapel service was held in the House of Commons. Prime Minister Theresa May said the PC, who was married with a five-year-old daughter, "was every inch a hero". The Metropolitan Police Force called him "a fantastic member of staff". A minute's silence was held at 09:33 GMT in the Palace of Westminster and at New Scotland Yard. The Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin led the prayer and vigil service at the House of Commons Chapel of St Mary Undercroft. Offering prayers "for Keith, our brother and all others affected", the Rev Hudson-Wilkin urged dozens of attendees "to show mercy in the face of the hatred shown in the Westminster terror attack." A statement released by PC Palmer's family went on to say he was "a long-time supporter of Charlton Athletic. Dedicated to his job and proud to be a police officer, brave and courageous. A friend to everyone who knew him. "He will be deeply missed. We love him so much. His friends and family are shocked and devastated by his loss." Charlton Athletic responded to the news by putting a football scarf on PC Palmer's season ticket seat at the Valley stadium and said it would remain there until the next home game on 4 April. There are also plans to commemorate his life at the game itself. "Keith was a familiar face at The Valley to many supporters and sat in his same East Stand seat for many years," the club said. "He was a true hero who will be greatly missed by all the Charlton family and everyone at the club would like to offer their sincere condolences to his family and friends at this extremely difficult time". PC Palmer joined the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command in April last year after serving in the Territorial Support Group (TSG) based in Catford but working across London. He had previously been based in Bromley borough between 2002 and 2009. PC James Aitkenhead, who worked alongside Keith in the TSG, said: "Keith was a genuinely nice person; nobody had a bad word to say about him. When I heard what had happened I knew it would be him because that's just the sort of guy he was, to step straight in when others might step back. "He had a great work ethic, he worked on our warrants' car for years, getting up at 04:00 to serve warrants and arresting wanted offenders. He was always so positive, always staying late after everyone else and getting in early. "In his personal life he was a massive Charlton Athletic fan and had a season ticket. "We will miss him so much." PC Palmer was nominated in 2015 for best thief taker in the Commissioner's Excellence Awards, having made more than 150 arrests in 12 months. Insp Mark Turner said he was "a solid, reliable member of the team - he came in and just got the job done, quietly and efficiently". "He was a fantastic member

Summary: Tributes have been paid to Keith Palmer, the police officer killed in Wednesday's attack in Westminster.

The world champion was 0.623 seconds quicker than Rosberg, with Alonso a further 0.437secs adrift. Media playback is not supported on this device Red Bull's Mark Webber starts his final F1 race fourth ahead of Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Lotus's Romain Grosjean. Toro Rosso's Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne qualified seventh and eighth with Ferrari's Felipe Massa ninth ahead of Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg. Qualifying was wet throughout but a heavy downpour just after the second knock-out session forced organisers to delay the start of the top 10 shoot-out because of standing water on the track. The second session had ended with a high-speed crash by McLaren's Sergio Perez, who lost control after running wide on to kerbs on the exit of Turn Five. After a series of 10-minute delays, the drivers all ventured out on 'extreme' wet tyres to set 'banker' laps before coming in to change tyres when it became apparent conditions were suitable for 'intermediates'. They have a lower tread depth, but give drivers more speed if there is not a lot of standing water on the track. Grosjean gambled on not even doing a lap on the 'extreme' tyres and the decision initially paid off when he went fastest on his first flying lap while his rivals were getting up to speed. However, it meant the other drivers had the benefit of a drier track when they set their times on fresh tyres and Grosjean tumbled down the order. First Webber beat him by just 0.15secs before Vettel crossed the line shortly afterwards following a scintillating lap in his team-mate's wheel tracks that put him 1.144secs clear of the Australian. Media playback is not supported on this device Rosberg then grabbed second place, pipping Hamilton just behind him by 0.122secs before Alonso beat both. With the edge taken off the tyres, most could not improve on their second flying laps. Only Grosjean, Webber and Rosberg managed faster times, and just Rosberg gained a position, leapfrogging Alonso to join Vettel on the front row. "We got out and I was surprised how much of the water had gone," said Vettel. "I went to the intermediates and got a good lap straight away. It's great in these conditions to get it all right." Alonso said he felt he could have beaten Rosberg to second place. "I have mixed feelings, to be honest," said Alonso. "I am happy to be so high up on the grid finally because we normally start between seventh and 10th in the last few grands prix, which is not ideal. "But I'm not totally happy with my lap. I went off at Turn Four, I was very late and missed the corner, it was very slippery. I exited eight tenths behind. [My pace] was not enough for pole position but it was enough for second place." Scot Paul Di Resta qualified 12th in what may be his last race for Force India,

Summary: Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel beat Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso to pole position at the Brazilian Grand Prix.


Paul Martin, 37, from Stroud, died when his trail bike was hit by a train at Frampton level crossing in May 2014. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) report also found signs did not explain trail bike riders were prohibited from using the crossing. The RAIB has recommended Network Rail improves the "content" of its signs. Mr Martin was the last of three trail bike riders to reach the level crossing along a track, near the village of Sapperton on 11 May. Despite signs warning "vehicle users" to use a telephone at the crossing to find out if it was safe to cross, none of the riders had. According to the RAIB report, the signs had failed to "grab their attention sufficiently" and the bikers had "believed" they could cross safely by "looking for trains". "The riders did not know that a curve in the railway meant that they could not rely on seeing an approaching train early enough to decide whether it was safe to cross," the report stated. As the Swindon-to-Gloucester passenger train approached the crossing, a warning horn was sounded but the report said it was "likely" the bikers did not hear it because of their "full-face crash helmets" and "noisy" trail bike engines. Although the RAIB found there was "no requirement" for signs to include references to trail bike riders, it has recommended that "content and positioning" of signs be improved. It has also recommended that Network Rail "seek a better understanding of actual (not only permitted) use of level crossings" and raise awareness of where people are "not permitted" to take vehicles onto level crossings.

Summary: A man killed at a level crossing in Gloucestershire may not have heard the train's horn because he was wearing a crash helmet, a report has found.


Christopher O'Neill, 25, was first charged with causing grievous bodily harm to Cárágh Walsh in February 2014. However, within hours of Mr O'Neill appearing in court, Cárágh died. Mr O'Neill, from Whiterock Road, was then charged with manslaughter, but in July, a senior prosecutor ordered a new post mortem report. A preliminary enquiry committing Mr O'Neill to the Crown Court to stand trial for his daughter's murder, has been adjourned because of a defence application. A defence solicitor said he had only received "voluminous papers" in the last few days, including what he described as "quite complex" medical evidence and asked the deputy district judge to adjourn the case for two weeks. A prosecuting lawyer said she had no objection and releasing Mr O'Neill on continuing bail, the judge told him to come back on 11 September.

Summary: A Belfast man has been charged with murdering his three-month-old daughter on 7 February 2014.


In recent weeks, there has been an upsurge in campaigning comments on popular microblog Sina Weibo, where users are encouraging victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and rape to make their voices heard. Rape can be taboo in China and victims are often afraid to come forward. Domestic violence can also be stigmatised, and China only passed its first domestic violence law in December 2015. Moreover, women's rights activists in China have sometimes struggled to speak out. In 2015, five prominent activists were arrested, prompting international online campaigns using the #FreeTheFive hashtag. One of the biggest stories dominating social media in recent days has been the alleged rape of a female intern at a Chinese media company. Police in southern Guangzhou say they have arrested a reporter working for the Southern Daily newspaper. Two other interns have said they were sexually harassed by the individual. The #OnlineFeverThatJournalistRapedFemaleIntern hashtag has been trending for the past two days and social media users have been particularly interested in an exclusive interview conducted with the alleged victim by the Women Awakening rights group. Using the pseudonym Little Flower, she said she initially "didn't realise it was rape" and had thought of rape as "a stranger in the street... using violence, a knife to force you". She added that she didn't think much would come of the case, as she described her alleged attacker as "well-known". Weibo users have also been following an incident of alleged domestic violence in northern China. The hashtag #BeatenBecauseBoyfriendSuspectedCheating has been trending after images circulated of Beijing-based user "YuzuSama" with black eyes and bruises. After the images gained traction online, YuzuSama said she had been encouraged to go to hospital and to contact the police. Weibo users told her "not to be afraid" after she posted from the police station that her boyfriend had been arrested. She told users on 30 June: "When I saw him, I was still terribly scared." Thousands of female users have also been making their voices heard against other, more routine, offences. In the past month, Weibo campaigns including #ShanghaiMetroWolf, #NowAWretchedManOnChengduMetro and #TwoWomenMolestedonMetroLine13 have been trending, after a number of women decided to "out" men who had touched them inappropriately on crowded subways. In April, Zhengzhou in eastern China introduced its first women-only bus in an attempt to reduce the number of sexual assaults. The concept of single-sex transport is relatively new to China and sparked debate on social media, with some welcoming the idea, and others asking whether such measures are divisive. "Not all men are bad, but aren't all men being discriminated against here?" one asked at the time. First Lady Peng Liyuan is a special envoy for the Advancement of Girls' and Women's Education at Unesco, and has spoken at the United Nations about women finding empowerment through education. Yet there are still challenges within the education system about how sex education should be taught, with social media users saying that attitudes towards sex are outdated. Weibo users reacted angrily in late June to a sex education textbook which described girls who have premarital

Summary: Chinese women are increasingly taking to social media to speak out against sexual harassment.


Martin John Neeson, from Magowan Park, appeared at Londonderry Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with grievous bodily harm (GBH). The assault happened at Magowan Park at about 04:00 BST on 28 August. A 35-year-old man from Ballykelly sustained serious head injuries in the incident and remains in a critical condition in hospital. Mr Neeson is also charged with having a knife with intent to cause GBH. Both offences are alleged to have taken place in the early hours of Sunday morning. The defendant told the court that he "disagreed with all that". He was remanded in custody until 5 September for a potential bail application.

Summary: A 36-year-old man has appeared in court charged with attacking a man in Londonderry.


Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea lie two points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal and have played United twice this season. However, United still have to play the Gunners and fellow title-chasers Manchester City again this term. "Maybe the rules should be adapted for more fairness," said Wenger. "It opens up questions about the dates of this transfer window." Media playback is not supported on this device Mata could complete a £37m deal on Friday, joining a United side that are 14 points adrift of the Gunners but who could still have say in the destiny of the title. They travel to Arsenal on 12 February and are yet to welcome City to Old Trafford. "If you want to respect the fairness for everybody, that should not happen," added Wenger. Spaniard Mata's potential deal with United comes after David Moyes's side lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, the second time they have played Chelsea in the league this campaign. "Some teams have already played twice against one opponent and some others not," Wenger. "I can understand completely what Chelsea are doing. They could have sold him last week." Last year, Wenger called for clubs to be limited to signing only two new players in the January window. Despite being linked with Schalke's Germany international midfielder Julian Draxler, and losing Theo Walcott to a season-ending injury, Wenger described his chances of adding to Arsenal's squad during the current transfer window as "very unlikely". But he added: "If something exceptional turns up we will do it, but not everyone will strengthen - they buy, but that does not always mean strengthen."

Summary: Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Juan Mata's proposed move from Chelsea to Manchester United raises questions about the fairness of the January transfer window.


The 41-year-old Oscar-winner was recognised for services to the film industry and to charity in last year's Queen's Birthday Honours. Zeta Jones was accompanied by her husband, US actor Michael Douglas, and their children Dylan and Carys. The former Darling Buds of May star has appeared in such films as Chicago, Traffic and The Mask of Zorro. When the announcement of the award was made last summer, the actress said she was "absolutely thrilled". "As a British subject I feel incredibly proud," she continued. "At the same time it is overwhelming and humbling." Her husband Douglas, who was diagnosed with throat cancer last year, announced in January that his tumour is gone and he is beating the disease. Veteran actor Burt Kwouk, best known for his Kato role in the Pink Panther films, received an OBE at Thursday's investiture ceremony. The 80-year-old actor appeared in three James Bond films and was most recently seen in BBC sitcom Last of the Summer Wine.

Summary: Welsh actress Catherine Zeta Jones has been made a CBE by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace.


Trustees announced a new partnership deal with Cadw, the Welsh government's historic environment service, resolved "short-term problems that gave rise to concerns over the future" of the museum at Caernarfon. Last week, trustees said they had not received funding since February. Culture and Sport Minister John Griffiths said he endorsed the deal. A statement on the RWF Museum website said the partnership with Cadw will "see the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum funded to provide visitors to Caernarfon Castle with access to the Welsh government accredited museum and to provide an education service for schools". The museum, which has been based at Caernarfon Castle since the early 1960s, charts the 300-year history of the RWF, dating back to William III. The regiment was one of the three Welsh infantry regiments to be merged in 2006 to form The Royal Welsh, though the name lives on as the infantry are known as 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh (The Royal Welch Fusiliers).

Summary: The Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum (RWF) has been saved from closure after its funding was secured.

The designation of 23 new Marine Conservation Zones mean that 8,000 square miles of UK waters now have environmental protection. The announcement has been welcomed by conservation and wildlife organisations. However they, along with fishermen's groups, are concerned that there is no management plan. They say it will be difficult to balance competing interests in the reserves. Originally 127 sites were proposed as MCZs. The government has so far committed to designating 50, covering an area the size of Wales. The designation of 23 new Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) means that 20% of English waters are now considered protected. The sites range from the Cromer Shoal Chalk Beds in the North Sea, down to Land's End in the South West. The aim is to conserve habitats like coral colonies, geological features such as chalk reefs, and species such as the stalked jellyfish and spiny lobsters.

The Wildlife Trusts welcomed the designation of the reserves. Joan Edwards, head of Living Seas at the Trusts, said: "UK seas have the potential to be full of incredible life and colour but continued destruction has reduced them to a shadow of their former selves. "We are pleased by this government's commitment to addressing the decimation of our seabed over the past century, and to delivering an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas. This second step towards the completion of a 'blue belt' in UK seas is crucial in turning the tide on the state of our seas but there's still work to be done." However, designation and management are treated as separate processes. So until bylaws or legislation has been put in place, then activities in the reserves will remain largely unchanged. Paul Trebilcock, from the Cornish Fish Producers Association, commented: "It's madness. A line has been drawn on a map but there is no management plan in place. No-one knows what will and will not be able to continue. "The majority of fishermen rely on the marine environment being healthy to make a living - they have more interest in keeping it healthy than anybody. To hear the government drawing a line and saying it's all fine doesn't inspire much confidence." Sam Davies is chief officer for the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority. Her organisation will work with the Marine Management Organisation to find a way of managing the reserves. She said that the new boundaries didn't mean that

Summary: The UK government has extended the coastal "blue belt" of protected marine areas.


The 21-year-old, who can also play in midfield, scored twice in 33 games after joining Posh from Hartlepool for £500,000 in September 2014. But he did not figure last season and spent the first half of the campaign with Bradford City, before returning to Pools on loan in February. James has signed with an option to make the move permanent next May. He is Darrell Clarke's third new signing of the summer for Rovers, who have won promotion in the last two seasons, following Plymouth Argyle central defender Peter Hartley and Port Vale winger Byron Moore. "He's only 21 but already has the benefit of over 150 league games behind him," said Clarke. "They sold him to Peterborough for a £500,000 fee and he has since been out on loan at Bradford City and back at Hartlepool. "I thought he was Pools' best player when they came to The Mem last season. I've watched him on a number of occasions in the last few years. He's always impressed me with his work rate and I believe I can get him scoring goals." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.

Summary: Bristol Rovers have signed forward Luke James on a season-long loan from fellow League One side Peterborough United.


Benjamin Herman, 80, of Hook, Hampshire denies four counts of sex abuse against a girl under 13 in the early 1970s. Blackfriars Crown Court heard he drove her in his VW camper van, past security into the palace forecourt. Mr Herman was an equerry to the duke and had an office in the palace. He faces three counts of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 13 and one count of indecency with a child between January 1972 and January 1974. Edmund Gritt, opening the case for the prosecution, told the jury Mr Herman held the equerry post between 1971 and 1974, managing the duke's official diary and accompanying him on official visits. The abuse is alleged to have taken place at a house in south-west London used by military personnel, where Mr Herman was living at the time. Mr Gritt said the girl was "lonely and needy for adult attention but was nevertheless unhappy with the sexual attention he gave her". He told the court that in the 40 years since, she had told friends about what had happened, but first contacted the authorities after revelations about Jimmy Savile emerged. Giving evidence, the woman recalled feeling "privileged" when she was driven around the palace forecourt. She told the jury that Mr Herman discussed his relationship with the Royal Family. "He told me that he often had charge of Prince Edward and Prince Andrew and he played football with them," she said. She told the court of four occasions on which Mr Herman allegedly abused her in his home and in a nearby garage. Nerida Harford-Bell, defending, said: "I'm going to suggest that what you told the jury is all untrue. It may well be a fantasy that you built up about Mr Herman." The woman replied: "Well, it's not a fantasy at all." The trial continues.

Summary: A former personal assistant to the Duke of Edinburgh accused of sexually abusing a young girl took his victim on a visit to Buckingham Palace, a court has heard.


The paper said that during the first five months of this year, 385 people - more than two a day - were killed. The number of black people was disproportionately high among the victims, especially unarmed ones. Official statistics rely on self-reported figures from law enforcement agencies. They suggest about 400 people have been killed each year since 2008. The US has seen a number of controversial cases where unarmed black people have been killed by white police officers. Police are allowed to use deadly force when they fear for their lives or the lives of others, however there is currently no reliable way of tracking police shooting deaths. Instead, the government relies on self-reported figures from the nation's 17,000 law enforcement agencies. The figures exclude killings deemed not to have been justified. The Washington Post says it logged every fatal shooting in 2015 by police in the line of duty using interviews, police reports, local media reports and other sources. It found a homicide rate of almost 2.6 per day so far this year - more than double the average 1.1 deaths per day reported in FBI records over the past decade. "These shootings are grossly underÂreported," former police chief Jim Bueermann told the newspaper. "We are never going to reduce the number of police shootings if we don't begin to accurately track this information." Among the report's other findings:

Summary: Data collected by the Washington Post newspaper suggests that the number of people shot by US police is twice as high as official figures claim.


On Friday John Toshack takes his current side, Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca, to Egypt to face Zamalek in the first leg of their African Champions League semi-final. Toshack was a legendary player for Cardiff City, Liverpool and Wales and, as a manager, won a Spanish league title with Real Madrid and led Swansea City from the bottom division to the summit of English football. Now his Moroccan adventure is proving a successful sojourn in what the 67-year-old admits is the autumn of his sporting life. After managing teams in the footballing outposts of Macedonia and Azerbaijan, Toshack is enjoying a new lease of life in Casablanca. "I've been very fortunate in my career, but this one is something extra really," he tells BBC Wales Sport. "If someone said you would be managing going on 68 I would never have thought so. "It came out of the blue, it's another country and another continent and things are going really well." After taking charge in June 2014, he led Wydad to the Moroccan title in his first campaign and followed that up with the runners-up spot last season to secure African Champions League football. Toshack admits the foray into African football has come as a surprise even for a man of his formidable experience. It has not just been footballing matters either. The Cardiff-born former striker has been left amazed by the vast distances he and his team have had to cover across the continent as they have progressed through the tournament. And Toshack admits if his side were to lift the trophy next month, it would rank right up there with everything he has achieved in his career. But although Friday's game is just the first leg of the semi-final - with the pair meeting again back in Morocco on September 24 - the former Wales boss has also hinted that lack of progress could see him bring the curtain down on his African adventure and perhaps his life in football all together. "It's been very different and interesting," says Toshack. "We've travelled to Egypt, the Ivory Coast, to Madagascar, to Zambia, in a competition which to win we have to play 16 matches. When we went to Zambia we were away for eight days. "The (Morocco) Federation is good, we don't have to play for a week after a game, but it does cause problems. "We are in September and not played a league game yet - we are already three games behind everyone else. "To be honest, if we can win this, for various reasons it would have to go down as one of the most successful periods of my career. There have just been so many things we have had to adapt to. "If things go wrong here, like they could easily do, I'm not sure I would have the patience again to turn things around. "To be honest, we'll see how we do in these semi-finals and then that would be a good time to sit down and take stock." Apart from his six years as manager of Wales,

Summary: The ancient Egyptian port of Alexandria has seen many historic events, and it might be about to witness the final throes of one of Wales' most illustrious sporting careers.


Russia has denied that its military is involved in Ukraine, but Mr Poroshenko said 9,000 of its troops were deployed. Clashes involving tanks took place in two areas west of Donetsk on Wednesday. There was a "colossal threat" that large-scale fighting would resume, the president told parliament in Kiev. The outbreak of violence, in the government-held towns of Maryinka and Krasnohorivka, was among the worst in eastern Ukraine since a ceasefire was signed in Minsk in February. International monitors from the OSCE said that in the hours before and during the fighting around Maryinka a large amount of heavy weapons was spotted moving towards the contact line in rebel-controlled areas. Government troops fired shells at rebel-held areas on the outskirts of Donetsk. Ukraine said it had lost five soldiers in the past 24 hours, while the rebels said 15 people including civilians had been killed. The separatists denied Ukrainian claims that they launched a major offensive in violation of a truce. The OSCE said that for more than an hour on Wednesday they had tried to contact separatist leaders to halt the fighting, but they were either "unavailable or did not wish" to speak to the monitors. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, however, accused the authorities in Kiev of jeopardising the Minsk agreement, by placing it "under the constant threat of disruption" and by refusing to engage in direct dialogue with separatist leaders. The Kremlin has consistently denied sending serving soldiers across the border, although it has acknowledged that "volunteers" have joined the rebels. If there is a spike in fighting, like the battle in the town of Maryinka on Wednesday, then both sides know they cannot be seen as the aggressor, because they lose credibility and damage the negotiating position of their allies in either Moscow, or in European capitals. Neither side wants to be seen as responsible for breaking the highly publicised, but so far unsuccessful, Minsk peace agreement. And bargaining power for either side will become ever more crucial because in three weeks the European Union will decide whether to renew sanctions against Russia. Read more from Tom In his annual address to parliament, Mr Poroshenko warned of a "colossal threat" from the rising violence. "Ukraine's military should be ready for a new offensive by the enemy, as well as a full-scale invasion along the entire border with the Russian Federation," he said. "We must be really prepared for this." More than 6,400 people have been killed in eastern Ukraine since the conflict began in April 2014 when rebels seized large parts of the two eastern regions, following Russia's annexation of the Crimea peninsula. Mr Poroshenko said Ukraine had 50,000 troops in the east who were able to defend the country. What he described as the Kremlin's "plan to sow separatism in south-eastern Ukraine" had failed, he added, and only persisted in areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions because of "Russian bayonets".

Summary: President Petro Poroshenko has told MPs the military must prepare to defend against a possible "full-scale invasion" from Russia, amid a surge of violence in eastern Ukraine.


The shadow health secretary warned that some NHS hospitals were planning to double the number of private patients they treat under new freedoms. In a speech to Labour's conference, he said the coalition risked destroying the character of the NHS that David Cameron had promised to protect. Labour has not ruled out all competition to provide NHS services. In the party's 2010 manifesto, it promised patients the right to go private if they were still waiting for an operation at 18 weeks and an "active role" for the independent sector in treating NHS patients. By Nick TriggleHealth correspondent, BBC News The role of the private sector in the NHS is a thorny issue. Ever since the health service was created it has bought in expertise from outside when necessary. Today it is estimated about Â£1 in every Â£20 spent on NHS care goes to non-NHS providers. Some of this pays for charities to help in areas such as cancer and mental health care, while some is handed over to private health firms to carry out knee and hip replacements. The last 20 years or so has been marked by a desire by politicians from all sides to use the market to make the NHS more efficient. Labour under Tony Blair expanded this under the patient choice initiative. That allowed patients to choose non-emergency hospital treatment from an approved list of providers, including many from the private sector. This set the wheels in motion for a greater role for private firms in the community sector - one of the issues Andy Burnham is warning about now. Either way, the genie was out of the bottle long ago. But the party believes the scale and pace of "marketisation" under the coalition threatens the foundations of the health service. In particular, Mr Burnham said he feared the new freedom for hospitals to earn 49% of their income from private work would "damage the character and culture" of the NHS and take it closer to an American model. In his speech, Mr Burnham said: "We can save the NHS without another structural re-organisation. "I've never had any objection to involving doctors in commissioning. It's the creation of a full-blown market I can't accept. So I don't need new organisations. I will simply ask those I inherit to work differently. "Not hospital against hospital or doctor against doctor. But working together, putting patients before profits." The shadow health secretary also called for the NHS and local authorities to work closer together to improve care for the elderly and for "full integration" of health and social care services to be actively considered. "If we can find a better solution to paying for care, one day we might be able to replace the cruel "dementia taxes" we have at the moment and build a system meeting all of a person's needs - mental, physical, social - rooted in NHS values," he added.

Summary: Andy Burnham has vowed to reverse the "rapid" privatisation of NHS hospitals in England if Labour wins power.


Surrey's Ansari, 23, hurt his bowling hand against Lancashire on day two of their County Championship match, hours after receiving a first Test call-up. He was taken to hospital and Surrey later confirmed the injury was an "open dislocation", adding that it would be assessed in the coming days. England begin their three-Test series with Pakistan in the UAE on 13 October. They leave in a fortnight's time, arriving in the UAE on 30 September and playing two warm-up games in Sharjah. Before then, Surrey face Gloucestershire in the One-Day Cup final at Lord's on Saturday. "It didn't look very good. He was in a lot of pain in the dressing room," said Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart. "What should have been a day of celebration for Zafar, we are now hoping he will be OK. The way he was, there must be some doubt. "He dropped a catch stood at cover point. The ball came out of the sun, he saw it late and it hit him hard on the left thumb. He is not in the greatest shape." Left-arm spinner Ansari, who has taken 44 wickets and scored more than 700 runs this season was picked to provide England with a third spin option after Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid. As well as Ansari, Nottinghamshire batsmen Alex Hales and James Taylor were also called up, but Yorkshire pair Gary Ballance and Adam Lyth both missed out.

Summary: All-rounder Zafar Ansari's hopes of an England Test debut are in doubt after he dislocated his thumb while fielding.


A petrol bomb was thrown at a house at Thornhill Crescent, at about 02:45 BST on Sunday. A man and a woman in the property were not injured. A window was broken at a property at Cloona Manor just before 00:45 BST and a device was thrown at the front door. It caused minor damage. It is unclear if anyone was in that house at the time. A second unexploded petrol bomb was found in the driveway of the house at Cloona Manor. It has been taken away for forensic examination. The police said they were also investigating a report of arson at the same property in Thornhill Crescent at about the same time as the petrol bomb attack. It was reported that a silver Vauxhall Zafira was set alight in the area. No-one is believed to have been injured during the arson attack, but the vehicle was extensively damaged. Ch Insp John Wilson said: "Enquiries are continuing, but at this stage police are investigating a possible link between an earlier incident that occurred at the Cloona Manor area and the incidents at Thornhill Crescent." Speaking about the Cloona Manor attack, Sinn FÃ©in MLA Jennifer McCann said: "Attacks like this can lead to serious injury or death and it's very worrying that anyone targeted this elderly man's home in this way. "If anyone has information on who was behind this attack, then they should give it to the police immediately." SDLP Lisburn councillor Brian Heading said the Cloona Manor attack was "reckless and dangerous". "Anybody who throws petrol bombs at a home is attempting murder. There can be no justification of that," he said. "I'm urging those who carried out the deed to think long and hard and ask themselves what they have achieved and turn themselves into the police." Police have appealed for witnesses.

Summary: Two petrol bombings and an arson attack in Dunmurry near Belfast may be linked, the police have said.


The taxi-app firm said the sackings related to sexual harassment, bullying and issues about poor company culture. Uber has been under fire over its treatment of women staff since a former employee wrote a scathing blog post about her experience. It led to two investigations and the uncovering of 215 complaints about harassment and other allegations. Uber has struggled with a series of controversies in recent months, including a backlash over aggressive corporate tactics and a lawsuit from Google-owner Alphabet over allegedly stolen technology for self-driving cars. Several high-placed executives resigned amid the turbulence, including a former head of engineering, who had failed to disclose harassment complaints at his former employer. Chief executive Travis Kalanick's filmed argument with an Uber driver over falling rates also fuelled criticism, leading him to say that he needed "leadership help". Susan Fowler, who wrote the critical blog post about Uber, said the company had ignored her complaints of sexual harassment. Widely shared, the blog prompted Mr Kalanick to launch the investigations. Does Silicon Valley have a sexism problem? Uber's mess reaches beyond sexism - and Silicon Valley Law firm Perkins Coie reviewed 215 claims, which included sexual harassment and discrimination as well as other complaints, an Uber spokeswoman said. The firm recommended no action in 100 of them; 57 remain under review, while others have received warnings or are in training, she said. Some of those fired held senior positions, she said. Discrimination, 54; Sexual harassment, 47; Unprofessional behaviour, 45; Bullying, 33; Other harassment, 19; Retaliation, 13; Physical security 3; Wrongful dismissal 1. Staff fired, 20; Staff put in training, 31; Final warnings, 7; Claims still under review, 57. Uber has also appointed Eric Holder, who served as attorney general under former US president Barack Obama, to investigate the company's broader culture. The findings of that report have been turned over to the board and recommendations are expected to be made public next week. Some changes are already in place. Uber announced the hiring of two women to high profile positions this week. Frances Frei, a Harvard Business School professor, will serve as a senior vice president for leadership and strategy, working with the head of human resources Liane Hornsey. Ms Hornsey is herself relatively new, starting at the company in January. Bozoma Saint John, a former marketing executive at Apple, is also joining Uber as chief brand officer. Uber employs more than 12,000 people globally. About 36% of the workforce is female, according to a diversity report the firm published earlier this year. Women hold about 15% of the technology positions. It goes without saying that this issue doesn't go away with these firings. Uber has major questions still to answer - some of them will hopefully be addressed when more details of the report are made public. Most troubling is why Uber's own internal HR measures weren't thorough or fair enough to see that the actions of 20 employees warranted dismissal. Instead it took a brave former employee - and then an expensive, lengthy investigation - to get to that point. So as well

Summary: Uber has fired more than 20 people, and is taking other actions against staff, after a harassment investigation.


The defender, who had been battling dementia, made 407 appearances and lifted two trophies for the Tannadice side over 10 years. His wife Amanda has been campaigning for dementia and Alzheimer's awareness, and met with health secretary Alex Neil last month. Alzheimer Scotland joined football clubs and fans in paying tribute to Mr Kopel. Mr Kopel, who was inducted to the Dundee United Hall of Fame in 2011, started his career with Manchester United as a schoolboy in 1964. He made 12 appearances for the Old Trafford side, including a European appearance against Anderlecht, before moving to Blackburn Rovers in 1969. He was signed by United manager Jim McLean on New Year's Day 1972, and became a mainstay at the right-back position in a team which won back to back Scottish League Cup honours in 1979 and 1980, the club's first major trophies. After leaving Tannadice to take up a coaching position with Arbroath in 1982, he returned to United on several occasions to help out with the reserves. A spokesman for the club said: "Our thoughts are with all of his family and friends at this very sad time. "An indication of the affection with which he was held by all Arabs is illustrated by the fact that a supporters' club was named in his honour and by the genuinely warm welcome he received at the many functions and events he attended over the years." Alzheimer Scotland added: "Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Frank Kopel. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends." Mr Kopel was diagnosed with a mixture of vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease in 2009. His wife Amanda mounted a campaign to raise awareness of the strain on carers looking after people with early-onset dementia, and addressed the Scottish Parliament's public petitions committee. She has called for free personal care for dementia sufferers under 65, and health secretary Alex Neil pledged to bring her concerns to Parliament after meeting the couple at their Kirriemuir home last month.

Summary: Dundee United football legend Frank Kopel has died aged 65.


Meads, 80, played 55 times for his country, and was voted the greatest ever All Black in a national poll in 1999. The former second row said the diagnosis has been hard on his family, and requested privacy. "Thank you to everyone for their concern, but for now, it's about me fighting this," he said.

Summary: New Zealand rugby union great Sir Colin Meads has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.


The 29-year-old sustained the injury during his side's Audi Cup final defeat by Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. "I think we can pretty much rule him out of August and September," said Klopp. "This is certainly not news we would have wanted." He could now miss England's World Cup qualifying games in September. Lallana has played 33 times for England and Gareth Southgate's side face Malta on 1 September and then play Slovakia at Wembley on 4 September. Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the pre-season campaign after losing 5-4 on penalties against Atletico in Munich after it had finished 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes. The Reds will now prepare to face Athletic Bilbao in Dublin in their final friendly match on Saturday before their league campaign begins at Watford on 12 August. Daniel Sturridge also picked up an injury in pre-season - the striker went off with a thigh problem on Tuesday after scoring in their 3-0 win over Bayern Munich. He immediately pulled up and was substituted on 87 minutes, but Klopp said he thought it was "nothing serious".

Summary: Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is set to miss "a couple of months" because of a thigh injury, Reds' manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.


Cafodd Cymru Fyw air gyda rhai fu'n cyd-oesi gydag e yn Ysgol Ramadeg Dyffryn Aman: Mae cylchgrawn 'Y Twrch Trwyth' o 1967 yn adrodd hanes disgybl oedd yn flaenllaw mewn nifer o weithgareddau yn Ysgol Ramadeg Dyffryn Aman. Roedd Neil Hamilton o 6A yn actio, dadlau ac yn chwarae rhan lawn yng ngweithgareddau'r ysgol. Ond sut ddisgybl oedd yr Aelod Cynulliad ac arweinydd newydd UKIP yng Nghymru? Mae'r actor Dafydd Hywel yn cofio digwyddiad hanesyddol yn 1966, sef blwyddyn Etholiad Cyffredinol: "Wnes i sefyll ffug etholiad ysgol yn ei erbyn. Roedd y sylwebydd rygbi Alun Wyn Bevan hefyd yn ymgeisydd. Wnes i sefyll dros Plaid Cymru, roedd Alun yn sefyll fel boi'r Blaid Gomiwnyddol. Wnaeth Neil Hamilton sefyll fel Tori wrth gwrs... a wnes i falu fe! Dwy bleidlais gafodd e - ei ffrind e a fe ei hunan!" Mae'r 'comrade' Alun Wyn Bevan yn cofio'r etholiad hefyd. "Wnes i sefyll fel aelod o'r Blaid Gomiwnyddol achos doedd neb arall yn fodlon eu cynrychioli nhw! Ddes i'n ail achos bod fi wedi addo rhoi tunnell o lo i bawb fyddai'n pleidleisio drosto fi. "Felly wythnos diwethaf oedd y tro cyntaf i Neil Hamilton ennill etholiad yng Nghymru, achos y tro ddiwethaf gafodd ei racso gan Dafydd Hywel a fi!" Cafodd Neil Hamilton ei eni yn y Coed Duon a daeth i Ddyffryn Aman wedi ei dad gael swydd fel rheolwr pwll glo yn Rhydaman. Roedd y sylwebydd chwaraeon, Alun Jenkins yn yr un dosbarth â'r Aelod Cynulliad ac yn ei gofio'n iawn: "Am fy mhum mlynedd cynta' yn Aman Valley, o'n i'n eistedd rhwng dau foi enwog dros ben sef Allan Lewis, aeth 'mlaen i hyfforddi tîm Cymru gyda Graham Henry, a Neil Hamilton. "Fi'n cofio fe achos roedd pawb arall yn normal ac yn ffitio mewn ond ro'dd Neil Hamilton yn dod i'r ysgol mewn deerstalker... wel doeddet ti ddim yn gwneud 'na yn Nyffryn Aman. O't ti'n gallu gweld straight away nad oedd hyn yn normal!" "Ond whare têg, erbyn o't ti'n dod lan i'r chweched dosbarth, ac yn dod yn gyfarwydd â'r boi, o't ti'n gallu dod 'mlaen 'dag e. Oedd e byth yn un o'r bois, a doedd e ddim yn cymysgu 'da lot o bobl o gwbl. "Oedd e'n ffrindiau mawr 'da boi o'r Garnant, neu Glanaman o'r enw Roy Davies oedd yn slingyn mawr tal, ac oeddet ti wastad yn gweld y ddou o nhw gyda'i gilydd. "Oedd hi'n bach o jôc, achos roedd y rhan fwyaf o bobl eraill yn yr ysgol yn Gymry Cymraeg ond roedd Neil a Roy'n sefyll mas fel rhyw ddau cartoon character." Roedd un peth amlwg arall yn sefyll mas i Alun Wyn Bevan: "Roedd yr acen anhygoel ma' gyda fe... wel, dweud y gwir, dwi ddim hyd yn oed yn meddwl fod neb yn Lloegr yn siarad gyda'r fath acen. "Oedd e'n swnio fel rhywun oedd wedi bod i Harrow neu Eton. Beth oedd yn rhyfedd amdano oedd bod y diddordeb mowr ma' gyda fe mewn gwleidyddiaeth o oed ifanc iawn, rhyw 14 neu 15 oed, a phan aeth

Summary: Mae'n un o gymeriadau mwyaf lliwgar y pumed Cynulliad ond wyddoch chi am gefndir Neil Hamilton fel disgybl ysgol yng ngorllewin Cymru?


The former world number one, 56, last won the tournament in 2014, but earned a 17-9 victory in front of a raucous crowd at Blackpool's Winter Gardens. He faces Peter Wright, who beat Daryl Gurney 17-15, in Sunday's final. "It's my last day here tomorrow and I'm going out with a bang," said Taylor, who is retiring at the end of the year. Englishman Taylor continued his fine form after thrashing Dutch world number one Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-finals on Friday. It was 32-year-old Lewis, also of England, who broke first and took a 3-1 lead, but Taylor came back almost instantly to level the match at 3-3. Despite his superior average going into the second interval, Taylor only led 8-7 with the throw. But in a repeat of the 2013 final, in which Taylor beat Lewis 18-13, the 15-time champion became the more dominant player as the match progressed. With Lewis starting to make more mistakes, Taylor raced away to victory. Taylor told Sky Sports: "My mindset was keep him under pressure and that he will feel it in the last part of the game. "I knew he was shattered and I had to take advantage, even though I love him." Wright is through to his first final at the World Matchplay and a win over Taylor would be the biggest prize of the 47-year-old Scot's professional career so far. He will be looking to improve on his average of 93 in a heated semi-final against Northern Ireland's Gurney, which included some verbal exchanges between the two players. "We had a little argy-bargy on stage. I was getting grief from the crowd, he wasn't. Then he said something to me when I walked past," Wright told Sky Sports. "I got over the line anyway and I'm in the final. I'm one game away." The World Matchplay is considered the second biggest tournament in the sport, after the World Championship.

Summary: Phil Taylor produced a brilliant semi-final display to beat Adrian Lewis and stay on course for his 16th World Matchplay title.


The 72-year-old from Ramsgate, Kent, is one of seven people to have been charged with the importation offence, which has been deemed a "relatively new phenomenon" by the National Crime Agency. But what is the scale of the problem? More than 100 child sex dolls have been seized in the UK as part of a special operation set up by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Border Force. Investigators believe the dolls, which are made to be as life-like as possible, are being imported by people who have a "sexual interest" in children. Advertised as "adult dolls" on sites including EBay and Amazon, they are manufactured in the Far East and sent to Britain via courier, fast parcel and other delivery services. Each doll costs around Â£800, is made of a silicon-like material and weighs as much as a child. The NCA, which set up Operation Shiraz, says paediatricians have assessed the dolls seized to be "anatomically correct". Since March 2016, 123 dolls have been seized, destined for 120 importers. Seven people have been charged with importation offences, two of whom, Andrew Dobson and Dean Hall, have been convicted and sentenced. Dobson, 49 and from Crewe, was jailed for two years and eight months. He also admitted possessing indecent images of children. Hall, 42, from Bury St Edmunds, was given a two-year suspended term. He was in also in possession of indecent images. Hazel Stewart, operations manager for the NCA, said: "The individuals who import this type of article - child sex dolls - have a sexual interest in children and these items are an indication of that." She said when people have been questioned by police about the dolls some have claimed they were bought for a "joke", others say they for "companionship". "If it was a Marks and Spencer mannequin I wouldn't be stood here," she said. Each doll is typically packed in a brown cardboard box. It is unclothed and the head is detached from the body with the feet and hands packaged to avoid damage. It sometimes arrives with a "pretty pink blanket". It is not a criminal offence to possess a child doll of this kind; the only offence which people can be charged with is importation of an obscene or indecent article. There is no legislation to stop people manufacturing them. "Whether they're indecent or obscene is a matter of big debate," said Ms Stewart, acknowledging that some will argue allowing people to have such dolls may stop them abusing real children. However, Ms Stewart says there is a "gap' in the law which needs to be plugged. "We want to look at the legislation," she said. "Child sex robots are just around the corner."

Summary: David Turner is awaiting sentence after admitting to a court that he imported an obscene child sex doll into the UK.


Mattia de Sciglio conceded the penalty in the 95th minute with a handball, just minutes after team-mate Jose Sosa was sent off for a second yellow card. Medhi Benatia had given Juventus the lead on 30 minutes, before Carlos Bacca equalised two minutes before half-time. Second-placed Roma, who have a game in hand, play Palermo on Sunday. Juventus, who are on track for their sixth successive Scudetto, have won 31 consecutive Serie A home games. The hosts, who lost to Milan in both the league and the Italian Super Cup final earlier in the season, had dominated the early exchanges, with Marko Pjaca and Dybala keeping Gianluigi Donnarumma busy in the Rossoneri's goal. Juve deservedly took the lead when Dani Alves chipped the ball to the adventurous centre-back Benatia who controlled it on his chest and smashed his shot past Donnarumma from close range. Milan hit back against the run of play, as Gerard Deulofeu counter-attacked up the left wing and played in Bacca who poked the ball beyond Gianluigi Buffon to equalise on 43 minutes. The Rossoneri grew into the game in the second half but it was Juventus who had the better of the chances with Sami Khedira, Miralem Pjanic and Pjaca going close. The final moments proved the most exciting as first Sosa saw red in the 93rd minute for a bad tackle on Kwadwo Asamoah. Two minutes later Gonzalo Higuain's bicycle kick was inches wide and he then saw another shot tipped away by Donnarumma. Then came De Sciglio's handball and Dybala kept his nerve to slot his penalty past 18-year-old Donnarumma to spark wild celebrations. Match ends, Juventus 2, Milan 1. Second Half ends, Juventus 2, Milan 1. Goal! Juventus 2, Milan 1. Paulo Dybala (Juventus) converts the penalty with a left footed shot to the top left corner. Penalty conceded by Mattia De Sciglio (Milan) with a hand ball in the penalty area. Attempt saved. Gonzalo Higuaín (Juventus) right footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Assisted by Dani Alves. Attempt missed. Gonzalo Higuaín (Juventus) right footed shot from the centre of the box is close, but misses to the left. Assisted by Leonardo Bonucci with a cross. Second yellow card to José Sosa (Milan) for a bad foul. Kwadwo Asamoah (Juventus) wins a free kick on the left wing. Foul by José Sosa (Milan). Substitution, Milan. Leonel Vangioni replaces Lucas Ocampos. Attempt missed. Miralem Pjanic (Juventus) right footed shot from outside the box is too high from a direct free kick. Substitution, Juventus. Moise Kean replaces Marko Pjaca. José Sosa (Milan) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul. Paulo Dybala (Juventus) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Foul by José Sosa (Milan). Sami Khedira (Juventus) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul. Foul by Sami Khedira (Juventus). Andrea Bertolacci (Milan) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Paulo Dybala (Juventus) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Foul by Andrea Bertolacci (Milan). Attempt blocked. José Sosa (Milan) right

Summary: Paulo Dybala scored a 97th-minute penalty to give Juventus a dramatic win over AC Milan and extend their lead at the top of Serie A to 11 points.


The 32-year-old has joined the Conference Premier leaders from Northampton on loan until the end of the season. "He'll come into the squad if his clearance [comes] through" said player-manager Andy Morrell. Artell has not played since October because of an Achilles injury. Despite his lack of games and with centre-half Martin Riley out with a hamstring injury, Morrell has not ruled out Artell starting should he eligible in time. "He hasn't played a game for a while but he's a good pro. He knows what to do, where to be on the pitch," Morrell added. Another midweek loan signing, striker Dele Adebola is available to make his debut after being granted international clearance. Wrexham will be without midfielder Jay Harris who has been handed a four-match suspension following his red card at Barrow. "We're going to miss Jay Harris for four games. It was a bit of a foolish thing to do with the state of the game," Morrell said. We'll pick a team that we think will go and beat Alfreton - another tough game "It happens, you've got to deal with it [and] it's a chance for someone else to stake a claim. "Kev [Kevin Thornton] did great [and] scored a goal [against Barrow] so more than likely he will be involved as will Glen [Little]. "We'll pick a team that we think will go and beat Alfreton - another tough game."

Summary: Wrexham are hopeful on loan defender David Artell will receive international clearance in time for Saturday's home game against Alfreton Town.


Ben Blakeley, the ex-boyfriend of the pregnant 17-year-old, strangled and buried her in his uncle's grave in Didcot, Oxfordshire, in December 2013. He admitted affray in connection with an incident at Didcot Parkway station on 22 October 2013. Blakeley, 23, from Reading, was given a concurrent eight month sentence at Oxford Crown Court. He was jailed for life in July last year for the murder of Jayden. Jayden was last seen alive on 3 December. Her body was discovered two weeks later on 18 December in a recently disturbed grave at All Saints' Church in Didcot. Blakeley's brother Jake, 18, of Abbotts Road, Didcot, was jailed for three years for perverting the course of justice.

Summary: A man who is serving life for murdering teenager Jayden Parkinson has been given a further sentence for affray.


The Millers, who were relegated to League One on 1 April, are looking to end a run of 10 successive defeats. Birmingham City could be without striker Clayton Donaldson because of a knee injury. Full-back Josh Dacres-Cogley has an ankle problem while centre-back Michael Morrison remains the only long-term absentee.

Summary: Rotherham midfielders Lee Frecklington (knee and calf) and Tom Adeyemi (calf) could be fit to return.


Programs such as Adblock Plus, AdFender and Popup Blocker Pro have long claimed to protect consumers from intrusive web ads that slow down our browsers and hoover up personal data. Around 200 million people globally are estimated to use such apps. But for businesses that depend on web advertising, ad blockers could cost an estimated $21.8bn (Â£15bn) in lost revenue a year. While some dispute this figure, most in the industry agree that ad blockers threaten publishers' ability to provide content free at the point of use. Now publishers and advertisers are fighting back; the battle of the blockers is heating up. Free London-based business newspaper CityA.M. is one of several publishers to have tried blocking visitors to its site if they have an ad blocker switched on. The firm, which has been working with the anti-ad block start-up Rezonence, says about a quarter of its readers use ad blockers, but that there has been "no perceivable drop in traffic" since it launched the strategy in October 2015. "We have had a trickle of complaints, but not many," digital editor Emma Haslett tells the BBC, adding that the firm had extended the strategy - which was initially aimed at Firefox users - to all internet browser types. Others, like Conde Nast's men's magazine GQ, have tried charging ad blocker-users for access, while US business magazine Forbes is asking users to turn their blockers off in exchange for an "ad-light" experience. If readers comply, Forbes says, they will be shown no welcome ad, no video ads inserted between paragraphs, and no ads between posts. If they don't, they will be denied access to the site's content. "Since we started in December, four million desktop visitors, or over 40% of those asked, have either disabled their blockers or whitelisted Forbes.com, gaining access to content and the ad-light experience," says chief product officer Lewis Dvorkin. Whitelisting means telling an ad blocker or security program to treat a certain website as safe. Not everyone is convinced by this approach, however. Johnny Ryan of anti-blocking start-up PageFair believes ad blocking walls are relatively easy to bypass. "Often publishers simply update their code, forcing the ad blocking community to get working again. It is a coding tug of war," he says. Instead, PageFair's technology enables publishers to display "respectful and unobtrusive ads" that do not get filtered out by ad blockers. In a variation on the theme, former Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich has launched a browser called Brave, which replaces the targeted ads on websites with "clean" ones that do not record user data or slow down browser speeds. It claims it will be able to pay publishers a higher proportion of ad revenues generated by cutting out middlemen. And it plans to roll out a system that lets web users make micropayments to publishers they like, in exchange for an ad-free experience. Privacy app Ghostery is also adopting a more nuanced approach. It shows consumers which ad-serving technologies a website has switched on, and then offers the choice to block or whitelist those services. According to the

Summary: When Apple said it was going to allow ad blocking on the iPhone version of its web browser last September, it escalated a conflict that had been building in the digital economy for years.


This may just be it. The team has created Orion, software which integrates Leap Motion into virtual reality environments. While the likes of Oculus and HTC's Vive are experimenting with complex, often clunky controllers for VR - Leap Motion's tech allows for an accurate reconstruction of your entire hand. The software has been released to developers today, and works with existing Leap Motion devices that have already been sold. Leap Motion chief executive Michael Buckwald told the BBC that it was working with all the major VR makers to embed the device within their headsets. For now, however, the device rests within a little mount attached to the front of the headgear. The company hopes the tech will pave the way for innovative new user interfaces, as well as just fun. After much initial excitement a few years back, Leap Motion has failed to capture the imagination of technology users and sales of the $79 device have been modest. Could this be the company's killer app? Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook

Summary: Leap Motion's precise movement tracking device has long been criticised for being a great idea in need of a practical application.
