Whitchurch Silk Mill in Hampshire continues to produce silk using Victorian looms and hydro-powered machinery. The £2m scheme will see the Grade II* listed building preserved and the interior remodelled. The machines will also be repaired and enhanced to allow workers to pass on the skills to trainees. Engineer Laurie Price said: "Our oldest machines are 1890s and they go all the way up to the 1960s so it shows the development and who was on the mill. "We really want them to all work, we want them to be set up with different projects and things to put in the shop - making sure it's still a factory so that visitors can come and experience the whole traditional silk mill." The mill, built in 1815 on the River Test, opened to the public in 1990. It runs an educational programme and the renovation project will allow pupils from Berkshire and Hampshire greater access to the historic facility. Claire Isbester, chairwoman of the silk mill's trust, said remodelling the interior would allow the building's "special qualities" to be appreciated by visitors more easily. The project is being part-funded with £1.7m of Heritage Lottery Funding and a grant of £100,000 from the Greenham Common Trust.

Summary: A working silk mill that has been operating for more than two centuries is to be restored and repaired.


Gamers develop their agents over time in the online game, so many feared they had lost weeks of progress. The problem appears to have affected only people using the Xbox One version of the title. The publisher, Ubisoft, said it would soon restore the missing data. "The issue was caused by a malfunctioning server that couldn't synchronise character data correctly and corrupted them instead," Ubisoft told the BBC. "The game client was unable to read this corrupted data, and simply assumed that the character didn't exist. "Once this has been identified, we were able to restore the server to its normal functions, thus ensuring that the issue will no longer occur for other players. "For those who experienced the issue, your character is not gone. "We are currently working on a fix that should make it available shortly. "Implementing this fix will require a server downtime, and we will let you know when we are ready to perform it." The Division sold more copies in its first day than any other Ubisoft title to date - including Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs. It went on to spend four weeks at the number one spot in the GfK Entertainment All Formats video game charts, following its release on 8 March. The story takes place in New York after the smallpox virus has been spread via infected banknotes. The player assumes the role of a Division agent - a secretive organisation tasked with bringing order to the chaos that has engulfed Manhattan "If you've spent 30 or 50 or 100 hours building up your progress, you're going to be quite upset when it magically disappears," said Keza MacDonald, editor of the games news site Kotaku UK. "Similar things have happened before - for instance, when Grand Theft Auto Online was released, for the first several weeks, characters would just disappear. "People are generally understanding of there being launch issues with online games and there can be an element of forgiveness, but the Division has been out for over a month now and people are going to have expected better." The Division had had a relatively smooth start, after experiencing some server issues in its early hours. The 1.1 update was released on Tuesday to make the title "more satisfying". Changes included ensuring players would be given a "high-end" reward when they killed a challenging computer-controlled enemy. But it soon became apparent there was a problem. "Wow, I really love this game, but this is too much - I lost my character, and I'm not going to do a new one... bye The Division," tweeted Pedro Morales. Another player, nicknamed Freak5how, wrote: "If they do not get characters restored, I am going back to Destiny" - a reference to Activision's rival online shooter. One analyst said the fault highlighted the risks of a wider shift to making games dependent on remote computer servers. "In the past, if you lost your character save and your console wasn't connected to the net, then you didn't really have anyone to blame," said Piers Harding-Rolls, from the IHS consultancy.

Summary: Ubisoft has promised to fix a fault with its blockbuster video game Tom Clancy's The Division that caused hundreds of players' characters to vanish.


As soon as they stepped out of the wreckage, Mr Yu told Mr Deng not to worry, as he would take care of it. "So I know what kind of person he is. Through those kinds of intimate scenarios we can definitely know each other very well," says Mr Deng. Mr Yu is chairman of the New Oriental Group, one of China's biggest educational service businesses, and Mr Deng is chair of Northern Light Venture Capital, a Chinese venture capital firm. Both are members of the exclusive China Entrepreneur Club (CEC), a not-for-profit group of 46 of China's top entrepreneurs and business leaders. Already good friends from their membership of the club, which includes trips to each other's workplaces, nights out and annual trips abroad together, their experience that day was a classic example of having so-called good "guanxi". Roughly translated as "relationships" or "connections", it is a crucial part of life in China. Having good "guanxi" - a wide network of mutually beneficial relationships developed outside the formal work setting, for instance at evening meals or over drinks - is often the secret to securing a business deal. Mr Yu, who is on the board of the CEC, says it is because of this that the number of CEC members is limited. The small group size ensures people can really get to know one another, build close connections and ultimately help each other out. "We have had a lot of occasions for example, when members are in trouble or got into difficulty the entire club is behind a person, or we divert a lot of time to help that particular member through a difficult time," says fellow CEC member Charles Chao, the chairman and chief executive of online media firm Sina Corporation. The favours are reciprocal - if a person helps somebody out, he or she will expect to be repaid at some point. To those in the West, where you can secure a deal through formal meetings even if you don't know someone, this "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" way of doing business can seem improper. Yet views that it is a negative activity, often linked to corruption, are misplaced, says Mr Deng, who emphasises that guanxi is a "neutral" word. He points out that the Chinese generally tend to be less private and socialise more with their colleagues than their Western counterparts, and doing deals this way is a natural extension of that. While guanxi is obviously open to abuse, it is only corrupt if the activity performed as part of the relationship is illegal, for example, paying a bribe. Leadership expert Steve Tappin says it's simply part of the "social fabric" in China. "It's very difficult to get things done without it," he adds. In fact most business leaders say it's downright impossible. "Right now in China, no matter how strong or how smart an entrepreneur is, as long as he does not belong to the business community, does not have a lot of friends who may help him, he's not gonna win for long,"

Summary: When Chinese entrepreneurs Deng Feng and Michael Yu took a BMW out for a test drive together, they managed to get into an accident and completely destroy the car.


Mr O'Malley, who is also a former mayor of Baltimore, joins Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the primary race ahead of the 2016 US election. "I'm running for you," Mr O'Malley told a crowd of around 1,000 people in Baltimore on Saturday. He also pointed to his work as governor on issues such as gay marriage, immigration and income inequality. "My decision is made. Now you will all have a vital choice to make next year, for the good of your families, and for the good of the country you love and carry in your hearts," he added. The Democratic National Committee said it welcomed a candidate who had shown "solid commitment" to social justice. Mr O'Malley, who endorsed Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful run for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 election, said that his party deserved a wide choice of candidates. "The presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth between two royal families,'' he said, referring to Republican and Democratic nominees Jeb Bush and Ms Clinton. He said that he was joining the race for nomination because there was "urgent work" needed "to rebuild the truth of the American dream for all Americans." US 2016: Meet the possible candidates A few demonstrators gathered near his speech to protest against Mr O'Malley's criminal justice policies as Baltimore mayor. "He's claiming to be this saviour of Baltimore, but he's not," protestor Duane Davis told The Associated Press. Mr O'Malley has defended his previous "zero-tolerance" policies, saying that they helped tackle violent crime. Critics have said that they contributed to the distrust between the police and the local black community. Riots erupted in the city in April after the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody.

Summary: Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has announced his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.


Produced by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the guidelines recommend women seek advice well before pregnancy on their care. Managing seizure control, tiredness and risks linked to some epilepsy medicines can make pregnancy a difficult time. Epilepsy Action said the guidance would help women make informed decisions. Around 2,500 infants are estimated to be born to women with epilepsy every year in the UK. But there are risks to the health of unborn babies from taking some anti-epileptic drugs during pregnancy, particularly sodium valproate. Some women stop taking their medication or cut down, which can make seizures worse and increase the risk of harm to mother and baby. However, the guidance says "most mothers have normal healthy babies", but women with epilepsy should be informed that the risk to the foetus is dependent on the type, number and doses of drug they take. These RCOG guidelines, for GPs, midwives, consultants and women with the condition, say women should: It's a condition that affects the brain, leading to epileptic seizures. A seizure happens when there is a sudden burst of intense electrical activity in the brain. This causes a temporary disruption to the way the brain normally works. There are many different types of seizure. During the more serious ones, the person can lose awareness, go stiff, fall to the floor and the body can jerk. Some types of epilepsy last for a limited time and the person eventually stops having seizures. But for many people epilepsy is a life-long condition. Shakila Thangaratinam, lead author of the guidelines and professor of maternal and perinatal health at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, said the right care before, during and after pregnancy was important. "Women with epilepsy require multi-disciplinary care throughout their pregnancy, and healthcare professionals need to be aware of the small but significant increase in risks. "While most women who have epilepsy remain free of seizures throughout their pregnancy, some may have more seizures if they are pregnant. "It is important that these women receive pre-conception counselling, meet with an epilepsy specialist, and are monitored closely for seizure risk factors." Simon Wigglesworth, deputy chief executive at Epilepsy Action, said he was delighted to see the guidance published. "This ensures that they are able to make informed decisions about all aspects of their health and wellbeing, as well as that of their baby." Louise Silverton, director for midwifery at the Royal College of Midwives, also welcomed the guidance. "It is vital we remember that women with epilepsy are classified as high risk during their pregnancy, often they require more monitoring and specialist care during the course of their pregnancy. However, the majority of women with epilepsy will give birth safely." Experts say the risk of death is 10 times greater in pregnant women with epilepsy compared with those without the condition. Between 2009 and 2013, 21 women died during pregnancy as a result of epilepsy - and in most of those cases their seizures were found to be poorly controlled.

Summary: Pregnant women with epilepsy should be treated by a specialist healthcare team to prevent unnecessary deaths, according to new national guidelines.


A 16-year-old was shot in both legs on 18 December and was taken to hospital. It happened in Aitnamona Crescent at 20:50 GMT. Police have said the man is in police custody and continue to appeal for information from anyone who knows anything about the attack.

Summary: A 42-year-old has been arrested over a paramilitary-style attack in west Belfast.


Keogh, 30, has been skipper of the Championship club since joining in 2012, apart from during Paul Clement's eight months in charge from June 2015. The Republic of Ireland international, who scored in the abandoned EFL Cup tie at Grimsby on Tuesday, told BBC Radio Derby being reappointed was "amazing". "Since I came through this door, it's been a great journey," he added. "This club gave me the platform to captain my country and I will be forever grateful. "My son was born in Derby as well so I will always have great affection for this club. It will always be in my heart. "I have loved every second of it. It's six seasons and it has gone in a flash. You can see how much it means to me when I step on to the field. Hopefully we can make some great memories this season."

Summary: Richard Keogh says Derby County will "always be in his heart" after being named as captain by boss Gary Rowett.


Claire Throssell's ex-husband Darren Sykes lured Paul, nine and Jack, 12, to the property in Penistone on 22 October before setting fire to the building. A charity appeal in aid of Ms Throssell has been set up with the aim of raising enough money to help her restore the property and sell it. Campaigners have so far raised around Â£8,000 of a Â£50,000 target. Ms Throssell said: "It's just amazing, the people are just awesome and I just can't believe that so many people are carrying that love for my boys. "It's keeping their memory alive. They were the best part of me, they were my life and it's lovely that people love them for who they were."

Summary: Rebuilding work has begun at a house in South Yorkshire where a man killed himself and his two sons in a fire.


The visitors went behind early when goalkeeper Tom King fumbled Andy Haworth's corner and presented Jason Walker with a close-range gift. Andy Cook doubled the advantage with his 20th goal of the season as he latched on to Jordan Williams' assist. Barrow have now gone nine games unbeaten while defeat leaves Braintree are one point off the top five.

Summary: Barrow registered a fourth successive win as they dented Braintree's National League play-off hopes.


Slogans were painted on the monument at White Brae, Ligoniel, on the outskirts of north Belfast and two wreaths were removed. The monument is a tribute to teenage brothers John and Joseph McCaig, and their colleague Dougald McCaughey, 23. The off-duty fusiliers were shot dead at the site by the IRA in March 1971. James Wright, chairman of Oldpark and Cavehill branch of the Royal British Legion, said: "Just like the cowards who in the dead of night murdered John, Joe and Dougald, these lowlife cowards cannot show their faces, they have to carry out their attacks under the cover of darkness. "As a branch we will not be deterred in ensuring that the murder of these young soldiers who were off-duty and out socialising in Belfast will never be forgotten." Sinn FÃ©in councillor for north Belfast, Gerry McCabe, also condemned the latest incident. "The ongoing attacks on this memorial must stop. They have gone on too long," he said. "The actions of those involved in this are not representative of the people of this community and whoever is behind this should question what they are achieving."

Summary: A memorial to three Scottish soldiers who were murdered by the IRA has been attacked for a 19th time, the Royal British Legion has said.


Fitzgerald was last season's player of the year as Tigers made the Premiership and Champions Cup semi-finals. "It's been a great experience playing in the Premiership and in Europe for Leicester," said the 29-year-old. Fellow forward Bateman, 27, flanker O'Connor, 27, and scrum-half Kitto, 24, have also agreed new deals, the lengths of which have not been disclosed. Fitzgerald joined Tigers in the summer of 2015 and has made 44 appearances playing at lock and flanker, scoring four tries. Tigers head coach Aaron Mauger said: "Mike is a very good man to have around the squad. He has a great work ethic in training and on the pitch. "With the experience he has gained in the last 18 months in English rugby, we believe he will get even better in this environment." Bateman also arrived that summer, from Exeter Chiefs, and has played 29 times for Leicester. He achieved the notable feat of playing in all three front-row positions this season. O'Connor signed in the autumn of 2015, scoring a try on his debut in a European Champions Cup win over Stade Francais, and has made 29 appearances for the club. Kitto, meanwhile, moved to Welford Road in the summer of 2015 and has played 24 times for Tigers.

Summary: Leicester Tigers have given new deals to Mike Fitzgerald, Greg Bateman, Brendon O'Connor and Jono Kitto.


They play Venezuela in South Korea on Sunday (11:00 BST), with previous U20 sides having failed to win a single game at the tournament in the past two decades. England have bettered their previous best performance of finishing third in 1993. Of that squad, only four players went on to represent England at senior level. But many had successful top-flight careers, including a Premier League and Champions League winner. Is this 2017 side a potential 'golden generation'? Will they get their break in the Premier League? Are they the future England squad for the 2022 World Cup? "There has been a determination about the players from the first day I met up with them," said manager Paul Simpson, speaking to BBC Sport from the team hotel in South Korea before the semi-final. "It means everything to this group, not only to put the Three Lions shirt on but to bring success ... they all know what it means to the group, the families and people back home." Simpson added: "We are changing everyone's perception of English football." Under-21 boss Aidy Boothroyd - who worked with many of the current squad at Under-19 level - added: "They are resilient, they don't know when they are beaten, they are a group that can score goals in a variety of ways. "They are quick on the counter-attack and technically gifted to build a goal, good in both boxes, have a terrific goalkeeper and a good team behind them on the staff. Paul Simpson understands and knows the game and is getting the best out of the players." Goalkeepers: Freddie Woodman (Newcastle), Dean Henderson (Manchester United), Luke Southwood (Reading) Defenders: Dael Fry (Middlesbrough), Jonjoe Kenny (Everton), Fikayo Tomori (Chelsea), Kyle Walker-Peters (Tottenham), Callum Connolly (Everton), Jake Clarke-Salter (Chelsea), Ezri Konsa Ngoyo (Charlton) Midfielders: Lewis Cook (Bournemouth), Kieran Dowell (Everton), Josh Onomah (Tottenham), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (Arsenal), Ovie Ejaria (Liverpool), Sheyi Ojo (Liverpool) Forwards: Adam Armstrong (Newcastle), Ademola Lookman (Everton), Harrison Chapman (Middlesbrough), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Dominic Solanke (Chelsea, joining Liverpool on 1 July) Recent call-ups also include Tammy Abraham and Izzy Brown, who have moved on to the U21s, and Celtic's treble-winning winger Patrick Roberts, who is injured. Manchester United's Axel Tuanzebe and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson are other recent U20 players who have made Premier League appearances. Of the 21-man squad, 16 played senior league football this season, half of them on loan, while striker Adam Armstrong played for both loan club Barnsley and parent club Newcastle. Everton forward Ademola Lookman also represented two sides this season, having joined the Toffees from Charlton for £11m in January. The current side have made a total of 72 Premier League appearances to date, Armstrong leading the way with 15, having made his top-flight debut as a late substitute in Newcastle's 1-0 defeat by Fulham on 15 March 2014. Everton's Kieran Dowell and Liverpool's Sheyi Ojo made no senior league appearances this season but both represented their teams in the 2015-16 Premier League campaign. Dowell made his debut in a final-day win over Norwich, while Ojo played eight times after being

Summary: England have reached the final of the Under-20 World Cup for the first time by beating Italy 3-1 in the semi-finals.


The 18-year-old took four wickets on the third morning as Middlesex collapsed from 249-5 to 293 all out, to trail by 122 runs on first innings. Toby Roland-Jones then struck three times, dismissing both Zafar Ansari and Aaron Finch for ducks, to help drag the hosts back into the match. But Curran's career-best 71 not out saw Surrey to a lead of 356, on 234-6. During a chaotic morning, Curran started the rot by bowling James Franklin in the third over as Middlesex lost their final five wickets for just 44 runs. Surrey reached 47 without loss with relative ease but, when Roland-Jones bowled Rory Burns (39), the visitors lost their next three wickets without adding a run. James Harris had fellow Middlesex opener Dominic Sibley caught behind off the next over before Roland-Jones returned to trap Ansari and Finch lbw, leaving the visitors 47-4. After Jason Roy made an attacking 37, spinner Ollie Rayner bowled the England limited-over batsman, then removed Steven Davies (20) to swing the match in the host's favour. But an unbroken 126-run seventh-wicket stand between Curran and wicketkeeper Ben Foakes (50 not out) left Surrey firmly in control. Middlesex head coach Richard Scott said: "It sort of ebbed and flowed today. We didn't create the partnerships that we needed at the end of our innings. "But, then we bowled really well in that middle session and took quick wickets. At one stage, we looked like we might bowl them out and set up a chase. "But, Curran and Foakes batted really well and frustrated us and it clearly shows on this pitch when you get a partnership going, it's hard to get people out. Surrey batsman Ben Foakes told BBC Radio London: "It's a very good day for us. There was a stage in the middle where it didn't quite go to plan, but Sam (Curran) batted really well and I stuck with him. "I think we're in a good position in the game and hopefully we can drive it home tomorrow. "Sam bowled really beautifully at the start of the day and to take four quick wickets on this wicket is I think really difficult. "To be able to blast them out was perfect for us and allows us to boss the game."

Summary: Sam Curran starred with bat and ball to help put Surrey in a commanding position against Middlesex at Lord's.


The Welsh government brought in new regulations to prevent fraudsters abusing the system in 2013. Councils were told not to just rely on evidence from GPs and there are now concerns that people with genuine disabilities are being refused a badge. BBC Wales has found that in some areas the number of rejections has more than tripled inside three years. The Welsh government is looking into complaints from disabled drivers amid fears many elderly or deserving people could be missing out. Blue badges are issued to people with mobility problems or disabilities and allow the driver to park on double yellow lines or in specialist bays closer to their destination. Normandy veteran Neil McLeish, who landed on Sword beach with the Welsh Guards in 1944, had his application to renew his blue badge rejected by Neath Port Talbot council. The 92-year-old angina sufferer from Ystalyfera had held the badge for 10 years but said he was told he had been unable to provide independent evidence to show he had significant difficulty walking. He said: "Since they took the badge away I don't really go out much in the car because I'm afraid I won't get a parking place. I've just given up." A Neath Port Talbot council spokesman said: "Welsh government recommends that assessment of eligibility for a blue badge under the discretionary criteria requires the applicant to provide supporting evidence of their mobility-related difficulties from an independent medical practitioner but this does not include their GP." Of 10 councils which sent comparable data, eight have seen a rise in rejections in 2013-14 compared to 2010-11. The Vale of Glamorgan council area has seen the largest increase - from 72 up to 237. Neath MP Peter Hain said: "I'm horrified to learn that rejections are up to almost two thirds greater than they used to be, but it reflects my experience. "I've never had so many complaints from people who are genuinely disabled." A Welsh government spokesman said: "We introduced new regulations to ensure fairness and consistency in awarding of the badges, but several issues have been brought to our attention which we are now looking into."

Summary: Rejections for disabled parking badge applications have leapt up since tougher measures were introduced.


About 5,500 homes and businesses remain without power on Wednesday evening. The places worst affected by the storm are Wicklow, New Ross, Athlone, and Inistioge in County Kilkenny, according to Irish state broadcaster, RT??. In Midleton, County Cork, the Irish Army helped to evacuate about 12 family homes after a river overflowed. Several people were also rescued from cars. They included a woman and two children who were rescued from a car in Glanmire, County Cork. The main road from Cork to Kerry, the N20, remains badly flooded in places. The storm also led to rail service disruption in some areas, especially around Cork, where passengers were bussed between Tralee and Killarney and Mallow due to subsidence along the rail track. Some sailings by Stena Line and Irish Ferries have been cancelled but sailings of P&O Ferries are running to schedule. Environment Minister Alan Kelly and Office of Public Works Minister Simon Harris visited Athlone on Wednesday afternoon, where Storm Frank has caused extensive flooding, adding to the problems caused by Storms Desmond and Eva. Mr Harris said Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Enda Kenny would be visiting more places affected by the flooding in the coming days and the flooding issue would be first on the agenda at Tuesday's cabinet meeting.

Summary: Storm Frank has caused flooding and disruption to travel and electricity supplies in the Republic of Ireland.


A new board, backed by £15m lottery-winning supporter Paul Bristow, took control of the club in the summer of 2007, with a new manager and a new squad. The Gulls had endured a chaotic final League season, with five men occupying the dugout from the January 2006 until their eventual demise in May 2007. But promotion followed two years later and, despite Bristow his wife Thea took on the legacy. However, after an appearance in the and 12 months later, it seemed history was beginning to repeat itself. In January 2013 then-manager which was later The Gulls brought in the experienced Alan Knill to after weeks of uncertainty had seen Torquay go from mid-table security to relegation fodder. Knill kept the club up, and days after the final game was after Thea Bristow, who had become chairman earlier in the season, sacked Ling for a This season Knill oversaw just five wins in his 25 league games in charge before and While Bristow is still chairman, there is as there was when her family's numbers first came up. So where did it all go wrong? The manager who led the Gulls back the Football League, Paul Buckle, former defender Guy Branston, whose last Torquay game was the 2011 League Two play-off final, and life-long supporter Steve Breed give BBC Sport their theories: This season Torquay have had 14 different players join on loan, while three free agents arrived well after the season had begun. "The people you bring to the club are important and they have to know what entails playing for Torquay," said Buckle. Media playback is not supported on this device "I used to say that if I got the right vibe, that they were really on board with this, then I'd go with it, if not I'm not interested. "I wouldn't allow anyone to come to the club unless I was really sure they were right." And Branston believes there are not enough players in the current side with the correct mentality. "It's important that the lads have got to be here for the right reasons," he said. "I know a lot of Alan Knill's lads were brought in on good contracts and he brought in a lot of loan players, but I think for a club like Torquay, you've got to make sure you've got the right players. Signing them from the pre-season onwards is big for a club like Torquay. "Plus you've got to be looking to produce your own players that have the right mentality for what the club stands for and what it's all about. "It's having that togetherness as a group, and if you're constantly bringing in loan players it disrupts that core." "I didn't think it was significant at the time," said Breed. "But in hindsight it clearly was, because we were doing OK up until when Martin went off sick. "With Alan Knill coming in at the back end of that season, he said he saved us, and ultimately he picked the team that kept us in the League, but only in

Summary: When Torquay won the Conference Premier play-off final in 2009, few at Plainmoor thought they would head back out of the Football League just five years later.


The six-week-old cub was found weak and lethargic in Llandysul in January, and weighed just 919 grams. She was fed through a syringe and looked after by RSPCA officer Ellie West, before being transferred to a pen owned by a local badger group. She will now be moved to a wildlife centre for at least a year before being returned to the wild. Ms West said: "It was really touch and go for this poor otter cub, who was in a desperately sorry state when I rescued her. "So much energy and emotion has gone into helping and rehabilitating her, and - thankfully - she responded well to being hand-reared. "It is hoped we will be able to return her to where she belongs - the wild - sometime in 2018, which would mark an amazing turnaround from when I first rescued this cub in Llandysul."

Summary: An otter cub in a "desperately sorry state" rescued in Ceredigion has been hand-reared back to health.


Charlton had thrashed Rovers 5-1 at the Memorial Stadium in November and they were convincing victors again, although they had to do it the hard way after a mistake by Patrick Bauer gifted Rovers a 12th-minute lead. The Addicks defender slipped while attempting a back pass, enabling Jermaine Easter to burst clear on goal and round Dillon Phillips before slotting into an empty net. Magennis' free-kick hit the crossbar, while Adam Chicksen's cross was tipped behind by Will Puddy via the woodwork as Charlton sought an equaliser before the break. Parity was restored four minutes before the interval with Magennis heading home from Joe Aribo's free-kick. And the duo combined in almost identical circumstances five minutes into the second half, an unmarked Magennis again using his head to convert from Aribo's set-piece delivery. Aribo turned provider once again just after the hour, playing a low ball across the face of goal which was swept in from close range by Jorge Teixeira to make it 3-1. Magennis completed his treble after 73 minutes, latching on to Andrew Crofts' pass and then firing an angled shot beyond Puddy in some style. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Initial attempts to free the animal by slathering him in olive oil failed, with his huge behind preventing him from squeezing his way out. He was finally freed after animal rescue services lifted off the cover and eased his head through the hole. Locals have nicknamed the squirrel "Olivio" after his oily encounter. After the ordeal on Friday, an exhausted Olivio was wrapped in a warm towel and fed glucose, local media report. Man rescued from inside public toilet Squirrel causes major power cut Staff at a local animal shelter say Olivio is recovering well and has now moved on to a diet of Christmas nuts. "He was almost dead," Sabine Gallenberger from the Squirrel Protection Association told German media. "Now he is eating a lot and sleeps all the time."

The CPS is considering files sent by police following investigations in up to 27 constituencies. It relates to claims some campaigning costs in the 2015 general election were wrongly recorded. The Conservative Party has insisted administrative errors were to blame rather than any intention to deceive. And it has said some of the spending was correctly declared. It is alleged the Conservatives spent tens of thousands of pounds on local campaigns - including on "battle bus" visits by activists - which were either not declared or were wrongly registered as national spending. The allegations came to light following an investigation by Channel 4 News. Under complex election spending rules, parties must disclose national spending separately from money used to promote each candidate, and separate national and local limits apply. Up to 16 police forces across England have submitted files to be considered by prosecutors. The CPS will consider whether there is sufficient evidence of a breach in the law, and whether a prosecution is "in the public interest". If general election candidates are prosecuted the Conservative Party will have to decide whether to suspend them and replace them as nominees. The last date for candidates to register for the election is 11 May. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning

Summary: Prosecutors are expected to announce on Wednesday whether Conservative politicians or officials will face charges for breaches of expenses rules.


The Spanish fourth seed is into round three after outclassing Dutchman Robin Haase 6-1 6-4 6-3 on Wednesday. The 30-year-old would become the first player in the Open era to win 10 titles at one Grand Slam, should he progress. "It would be such an incredible achievement by such an incredible player," said Henman. "You can't even fathom it. A lot of people don't win 10 tournaments, let alone 10 Grand Slams at one venue," added the Englishman. Nadal, who is 31 on Saturday, won his first Roland Garros crown in 2005, the first of four successive victories before claiming a further five in a row between 2010 and 2014. The Spaniard is only one of two players - the other being German Alexander Zverev - to win multiple clay-court titles this season. He won his 10th titles at Monte Carlo and Barcelona as well as his 30th Masters title in Madrid. "It is the biggest challenge in the game to beat Nadal over five sets on clay in Paris," Henman told BBC Sport. The only other player to win 10 or more titles at a single Grand Slam is Margaret Court, who won 11 Australian Opens between 1960 and 1973. "It would be one of the biggest achievements in tennis and one of the biggest in any sport," added Henman. "To have been so dominant at one of the biggest events in our sport is just incredible." After a season hampered by injuries and illness, world number one Andy Murray beat Russian Andrey Kuznetsov in the first round on Tuesday and Henman believes the Scot will be looking to "build round by round". "I wouldn't say Murray is favourite but he is the number one in the world for a reason," Henman said. "I haven't been concerned by his form because he has been ill and injured. "If he can stay healthy and injury free, he will start winning matches and tournaments because he is one of the best players out there." The Scot won his opener in four sets to set up a second-round match with Slovak Martin Klizan. He now faces a potential third-round clash with Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro. "Klizan is an awkward player but I expect Andy to come through that and Del Potro in the third round is a much bigger challenge. "Irrespective of what happens in Paris, on the grass, with his record at Queen's and Wimbledon, he will definitely be one of the favourites for those titles." Former world number four Henman believes Andre Agassi will have "lots to offer" Novak Djokovic, after the American took over as the Serb's coach for the first week in Paris. Djokovic hired eight-time Grand Slam champion Agassi, having parted company with his coaching team earlier in May. "Agassi is massively experienced and went through a lot of highs and lows," Henman said. "He is not going to teach Djokovic to hit new shots but can help him use his attributes to the best of his ability. "Agassi's experience and a new voice can certainly help. It

Summary: Rafael Nadal winning a 10th French Open would be "one of sport's biggest achievements", says former British number one Tim Henman.


The 32-year-old midfielder has made 395 appearances in 13 years with the Chairboys, while striker Paul Hayes, also 32, has signed a two-year deal.

Meanwhile, 23-year-old defender Aaron Pierre has been offered an extension to his contract, which is currently scheduled to expire in the summer of 2017. Gareth Ainsworth's side finished 13th in League Two this season.

Summary: Wycombe Wanderers club captain Matt Bloomfield has signed a new one-year contract with the League Two club.


Eleven babies and one mother died as a result of maternity failings at Furness General Hospital between 2004 and 2013. A subsequent inquiry report identified 20 failings linked to the deaths. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told the House of Commons that when things go wrong in the future "they will no longer be swept under the carpet". The inquiry into the Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust - led by Dr Bill Kirkup - found the maternity unit at Furness General had been "dysfunctional" with "substandard care" provided by staff "deficient in skills and knowledge". It also found working relationships between doctors and midwives were extremely poor, with midwives referring to themselves as "the musketeers" as they pursued normal childbirth "at any cost". Accepting the findings of Dr Kirkup's report, Mr Hunt said the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) would no longer be responsible for the statutory supervision of midwives in the UK. He said a decision had been made to move to a model of professional supervision similar to that of other health professionals. He also promised a new independent NHS patient safety investigation service would be set up by April 2016. Mr Hunt said a national review of maternity services would continue to look at how safe care could be delivered in geographically isolated areas. Welcoming Mr Hunt's comments, a spokesman for the NMC said: "As seen through the tragic events at Morecambe Bay, the current set up is open to conflicts of interest, which in not in the best interests of public protection."

Summary: Changes to the way midwives are supervised have been announced by the government in response to an inquiry into baby and mother deaths in Cumbria.


The match will be played at Bangor University Stadium (14:30 GMT).

Summary: Holders The New Saints (TNS) will have to travel to Bangor for their Welsh Cup semi-final against Gap Connah's Quay on 1 April.


Derek Mackay is meeting other finance ministers for a "quadrilateral" summit in Edinburgh. He said he would raise "unnecessary" tax burdens with the chief secretary to the treasury during the meeting. The Treasury said Scottish ministers had been advised of the tax situation before setting up national services. Most other police and fire services in the UK are regional bodies and do not have to pay VAT. The issue arose because Scotland's policing and fire services were previously controlled by local councils, which can claim back the tax - but the new national forces set up in 2013 are controlled by the Scottish government, which cannot. Mr Mackay said the police and fire services were struggling with the "unnecessary" burden of tax which they "simple should not have to pay". He said: "This is a significant sum which other emergency services do not have to meet. "There is a significant difference in the way VAT affects emergency services across the UK, with Scottish police and fire services paying VAT when other territorial services in the UK do not have to. "There needs to be a level playing field for such essential services. "As we continue to invest in our emergency services we will continue to press the UK government for Scottish emergency services to have the same ability to recover VAT as all other British and Northern Irish Forces." Scottish Lib Dem MSP Liam McArthur said it was right that the VAT position was "reconsidered", but said the Scottish government should not use that as a "smokescreen" for its own failures. He said: "The financial mess that Police Scotland find itself in is down to the SNP's botched centralisation. Ministers cannot duck that." A Treasury spokeswoman said: "In 2012 the Scottish government chose to make Scotland's police and fire services national rather than regional bodies. The Scottish government were advised in advance that by making this change Scottish police and fire services would become ineligible for VAT refunds." First Minister Nicola Sturgeon raised the issue during a clash over police budgets with Tory leader Ruth Davidson at Holyrood in December. Ms Sturgeon argued that the UK government had changed the rules to exempt academy schools from VAT when they were set up and funded by the central government. She said there was "£25m a year which should be going to our police service but is going to the Treasury". Ms Davidson replied: "The Scottish government was warned about VAT - it knew what would happen and it did not listen to parliament. You know that the first minister is in trouble when she cannot answer for herself but runs to 'Westminster bad'." There have been a series of warnings from auditors about financial management within Scotland's police service, which faces a funding gap of up to £200m in the coming years.

Summary: Scotland's finance secretary is to call on the UK government to scrap a £35m annual tax bill for the country's police and fire services.


Without elaborating, Michael Flynn told White House reporters: "As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice." Washington earlier declared the test to be "absolutely unacceptable". Iran confirmed on Wednesday it had tested a missile over the weekend, but denied violating a UN Security Council resolution. Iran denies missile test violated UN resolution Tillerson confirmed as top US diplomat Mr Flynn did not provide any further details of what actions the US may be planning in response to the test, which Pentagon officials say failed upon re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. The launch prompted the US to accuse Iran of violating UN resolution 2231, which "calls upon" Iran not to "undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons". As part of its final negotiations for the 2015 nuclear agreement with six world powers, Tehran agreed to an eight-year extension of the UN ban on ballistic missile development. During the White House daily press briefing, Mr Flynn did not accuse Tehran of violating that nuclear accord. But the national security adviser did describe the Obama administration-brokered deal as "weak and ineffective". "Instead of being thankful to the United States for these agreements, Iran is now feeling emboldened," he said. He said "the Obama administration failed to respond adequately to Tehran's malign actions - including weapons transfers, support for terrorism and other violations of international norms". Mr Flynn also pointed to a recent attack against a Saudi warship by Iranian-backed Houthi militants as evidence of "Iran's destabilising behaviour across the Middle East". During Mr Trump's campaign for president, he frequently attacked the nuclear pact with Iran, vowing to "dismantle the disastrous deal". In December 2016 Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told an audience at the University of Tehran that he would not allow Mr Trump to "rip up" the deal, Reuters news agency reported. On Wednesday Iranian Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan stood by their missile test. "We have previously announced that we will execute the programmes we have planned in production of defence equipment meant for our national interests and objectives," Iranian media quoted him as saying. "Nobody can influence our decision. We will not allow foreigners to interfere in our defence affairs."

Summary: US President Donald Trump's National Security Advisor has accused the Iranian government of "malign actions" after a missile test.


The Social Market Foundation has examined test results of cohorts born in 1970 and 2000 and found regional differences have become much greater. Pupils' results are highest in London and lowest in Yorkshire and Humber. "Where you live has become much more important," said think tank director Emran Mian. The comparisons between the generations, based on school tests in primary school and exams such as O-levels and GCSEs, indicate that geography has become a much more significant factor in how high pupils are likely to achieve. For pupils born in 1970, the study says that location was much less of an influence, with a much a stronger link to factors such as social background. Family background and income remain important, but the study says "the geographic area a child comes from has become a more powerful predictive factor". The rise of London schools has been a key part of this, with some of the poorest areas of the country achieving relatively high results. In the mid-1980s, areas such as the south-east and east of England had better results than London, but the most recent results show London outstripping the rest of the country. This prompted Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw to warn of a "North-South divide" in schools. There were also concerns about coastal towns becoming pockets of underachievement. How different parts of the country compared in GCSE results for 2014: The study from the Social Market Foundation suggests the achievement gap between the richest and the poorest pupils remains "persistently large". And the gender gap has grown wider, with girls even more likely to achieve higher results. There has been a substantial shift in the achievement of ethnic minority pupils. For those born in 1970, who took O-levels in 1985-86, black and Asian pupils' results were considerably below average and behind their white counterparts. The GCSE results for 2013-14 show a much more complex picture. The black and Asian categories, broken down in more precise ethnic groups, indicated Indian pupils' results were above average, while Pakistani pupils were below average. Black African pupils were above average and black Caribbean were below. White pupils were below average, with the weakest results from poor, white boys. But Dr Alice Sullivan, director of the 1970 British Cohort Study, Centre for Longitudinal Studies, at the UCL Institute of Education, said that the numbers of ethnic minority pupils born in 1970 were too small to make such comparisons. The Social Market Foundation is setting up a commission on inequalities in educational achievement, which will be chaired by Nick Clegg, the former leader of the Liberal Democrats. "While parental income remains very important, this new research shows that where you live has become a much more important factor in determining educational achievement," said Mr Mian, director of the Social Market Foundation. "Our new research also shows that the story around ethnic origin and education has become much more complex." Professor Stephen Gorard, from Durham University's school of education, said it was wrong to attribute the differences in achievement to "the impact of location rather than pupil background".

Summary: Where children grow up in England is more likely to determine success or failure at school than in previous generations, a study suggests.


The event sees the eight best qualified men's singles players compete on hard court at London's O2 Arena. This season's tournament begins 13 November and new world number one Andy Murray meets Marin Cilic a day later. Barbara Slater, BBC director of sport, said the deal "shows our longstanding commitment to ensuring top class tennis reaches the widest possible audience". She added: "The ATP World Tour Finals remains one of the standout moments in the sporting calendar bringing together the best players in the world to create a truly unique atmosphere." Murray will face Stan Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori as well as Cilic in his group, with world number two Novak Djokovic - winner of this event for four straight seasons - drawn in the other group. As part of the agreement with the ATP, eight singles matches will be available on BBC television, including one of the semi-finals and the final, while full radio commentary of the tournament is also available. Jamie Murray and Brazil's Bruno Soares will play Treat Huey and Max Mirnyi in the doubles event, not before 18:00 GMT on Sunday. BBC Sport will also offer radio and online commentary on ATP World Tour Masters 1000 matches. London's O2 Arena has hosted the World Tour Finals since 2009 and will continue to do so until at least 2018.

Summary: BBC Sport will broadcast the ATP World Tour Finals until 2018 after extending its deal to cover the season finale.


It was the famous logo for the Rolling Stones and was part of an experiment by tech start-up Lightvert. Its technology can produce images that appear to be 200m (656ft) high, but which only exist in the eye of the viewer for a fraction of a second. So could we be on the verge of seeing giant digital ads in our cities, similar to those featured in the seminal 1982 sci-fi film Blade Runner? Lightvert certainly hopes so. Its tech, called Echo, works by employing a narrow - no more than 200mm - strip of reflective material fixed to the side of a building. A high-power projector mounted below or above the strip beams light off the reflector directly into the viewer's eye. The image appears momentarily, exploiting what's called the "persistence of vision" effect - the way sparklers seem to leave a trail of light when you wave them around quickly. "Echo technology is being well received by those who have seen it to date," says Daniel Siden, Lightvert's chief executive. "Viewers are curious as to how it works and engage with it in a way you just don't see with traditional screen media." He is hoping that landlords will grab the opportunity to turn their buildings into revenue-generating digital billboards that are huge, yet physically unobtrusive. These are very early days for the firm, but Mr Siden believes outdoor advertising generally is overdue a leap forward in innovation. But would you want a billboard to target adverts at you specifically? That's what happened in Moscow recently. Drivers approaching a digital billboard were shown ads for Jaguar's new SUV (sports utility vehicle), but only if they were driving a different make of SUV. A machine-learning camera recognised the vehicle's make and changed the ad to target those drivers. The billboard image was adaptive, too, showing the Jaguar against a dark background if it was night-time, or manoeuvring through snow if the weather was bad. The ads were developed by Synaps Labs and founder Aleksey Utkin says there are plans to test similar ads in the US this summer. But won't such ads be dangerously distracting? A study on driver distraction by the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute found that digital billboards attracted the gaze of drivers for much longer than other signs. Researchers found drivers often took their eyes off the road for more than two seconds - a threshold which other studies have found to be dangerous. Some bricks-and-mortar retailers, such as video games specialist Game, are using augmented reality (AR) tech to bring their shop windows to life. Overlaying moving digital images on to the real world, as seen through a smartphone camera, caught the public imagination after the release of Nintendo's Pokemon Go game. "AR is no longer just a nice-to-see technology - it has a far more extensive commercial application for brands, where results can be tracked and measured," says Richard Corps, co-founder of Ads Reality. "We're seeing a much wider industry use of AR tech in different environments, such as in education as well

Summary: Passers-by on a London street were recently amazed to see a fleeting image of a pink tongue protruding from fruitily plump lips, seemingly suspended in mid-air.


A 234-unit nursing home in Elkana, 30 houses in Beit Arye and 20 in Givat Zeev got the go-ahead on Tuesday. Retrospective permits were also issued for 179 existing homes in Ofarim. The US said it was "deeply concerned" and warned that settlement expansion posed a "very serious and growing threat" to peace with the Palestinians. About 570,000 Israelis live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. Peace Now reported that the latest planning decision by the Israeli military-run Civil Administration in the West Bank meant 2,623 housing units at settlements had been approved so far this year. The figure includes 756 illegally-built homes that have been retrospectively "legalised". A senior US official told the AFP news agency that settlement expansion - as well as continuing demolitions of Palestinian homes - "fundamentally undermines the prospects for a two-state solution and risks entrenching a one-state reality of perpetual occupation and conflict". "We are particularly troubled by the policy of retroactively approving illegal outposts and unauthorised settlement units," the official said. "These policies have effectively given the government's green light for the pervasive advancement of settlement activity in a new and potentially unlimited way." On Tuesday, Israel reacted angrily to similar criticism of its settlement activities by the UN special co-ordinator for the Middle East peace process, Nickolay Mladenov. "It is difficult to read in these actions a genuine intention to work towards a viable two-state solution. This appears to reinforce a policy, carried out over decades, that has enabled over half a million Israelis to settle in territory that was occupied militarily in 1967," he told the UN Security Council. A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Mr Mladenov of distorting history. "Jews have been in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria for thousands of years and their presence there is not an obstacle to peace," David Keyes said, using the biblical names for the West Bank. There have been numerous rounds of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians since the early 1990s, with the last collapsing in acrimony in 2014.

Summary: Israel has approved the construction of 285 new homes at Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, according to the settlement watchdog Peace Now.


Luke Hole, 29, who played for Pontyclun RFC in Rhondda Cynon Taff, had been taking part in the Majorca Beach Rugby sevens tournament. Friends were unable to rouse him on Monday morning after the two-day event. Emergency services were called but pronounced him dead. One friend said Mr Hole was "the life and soul of the club". He described the player as "totally committed to all of his friends", and said the death had left everyone "heartbroken". The friend added: "He would do anything for anyone and this is just devastating, especially for all the boys that were with him in Spain. "My thoughts are with them and his girlfriend and all his family. "It's just so sad for everyone that knows him." The team, known as the Pontyclun Badgers, had travelled to the Spanish island for the long weekend, where competitors from across the UK and Europe were taking part in the tournament. Pontyclun RFC posted a message on its Facebook page, saying: "Absolutely heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with his family, loved ones and friends." A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We are supporting the family of a British man following his death in Mallorca, Spain."

Summary: A rugby player taking part in a beach rugby tournament with his team in Spain has been found dead in his hotel.


No international side has toured Bangladesh since 20 people were killed in a siege at a cafe in Dhaka in July. The England and Wales Cricket Board said in August that tour would go ahead following a security review. Jos Buttler will captain the one-day side, with the squads for the one-day and Test series to be named on Friday. The tour features three one-day internationals followed by two Test matches. Morgan has followed his own course, with the assurance ringing in his ears that nothing is going to happen, and I don't see how they can now sack him England director of cricket Andrew Strauss said: "While we understand and respect Eoin and Alex's decision, we are disappointed that they have made themselves unavailable for selection for the Bangladesh tour." He added that no further withdrawals are expected following "open and honest" discussions with all the players. England players Stuart Broad, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan and Liam Dawson have all publicly said they will tour Bangladesh. Former England captain Michael Vaughan has described Morgan's decision as a "huge mistake", while Nasser Hussain, another ex-skipper of the national side, said Morgan "should be with his team". But team-mate Ben Stokes tweeted his support for both players. England fly out on 29 September, with the one-day series starting on 7 October and the Test series on 20 October. They follow that with a tour of India, which begins on 9 November and features five Tests, three ODIs and three Twenty20s. Morgan, 29, said this week that he would never go on a tour where security concerns may affect his game. "In 2010, we played an Indian Premier League game in Bangalore and a bomb went off in the ground," he said. "We left and went straight to the airport. "Another one was playing domestic cricket in Bangladesh during political elections and things were incredibly violent. Given that no-one has toured there since the terrorist attack adds a bigger decision to it." Bowlers Andrew Caddick and Robert Croft pulled out of England's 2001 tour of India because of safety concerns following the 9/11 attacks in New York. "I was adamant I didn't want to go and stuck to what I thought was right," Caddick told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme before Morgan and Hales made their announcement on Sunday. "It's slightly different now. The security they implement in world cricket is quite high, whereas back in 2001 it wasn't. "Eoin Morgan has experienced risks to security in the past. Nobody else in the England team has. It's a personal decision and it should stay that way." Former spinner Graeme Swann, who was part of the England squad that returned to India after the Mumbai bombings in 2008, said he would not travel to Bangladesh if he was still playing. "We are a target," he said. "If I was in that situation, I wouldn't go." Ex-England skipper Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 live that Morgan should go on the tour. "I don't think the captain had any other option but to get on the

Summary: England one-day captain Eoin Morgan and opening batsman Alex Hales have opted out of October's tour of Bangladesh because of security concerns.


The government has granted planning permission for the 15-year project including new stages and streetscapes at the site in Iver Heath. South Bucks District Council (SBDC), which turned down the "inappropriate" plans, said it was "disappointed". The latest Star Wars film, Episode VII, is currently being filmed at Pinewood. It has been home to more than 1,500 movies over 76 years including the most recent James Bond movie, Skyfall. The expansion project, known as the Pinewood Studios Development Framework (PSDF), will double the existing studios by adding a total of 100,000 square metres of new facilities, including 12 large stages, workshops and production offices. A studio spokesman said the expansion would "secure future growth". The studio said the decision by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles, "will address the clear need for additional capacity in the UK". Pinewood chief executive Ivan Dunleavy said: "We want to begin construction as soon as possible." In 2012, the government rejected a previous plan, which included more than 1,000 homes. The studio submitted its latest application in February 2013, following "extensive public consultation". It was rejected by the local council and the studios submitted its appeal to the Planning Inspectorate the following May. Nearby councils have always opposed the plans as an expansion into green belt land. Councillor Roger Reed said SBDC had presented "extensive and well informed objections". "We must now look forward and recognise the importance of Pinewood and the benefit they can bring to the local and wider economy," he added. Parish councillor Sylvie Lowe, who represents Iver, said she was "surprised" at the decision and the council was considering its options.

Summary: Pinewood Studios is set to double in size after winning an appeal against the rejection of its £200m expansion plan.


The home innings fell away against spinners Jeevan Mendis and 16-year-old Hamidullah Qadri in the final session. Nick Selman's patient 50 off 159 balls was the top score in a largely sedate home effort. Earlier, seamer Tony Palladino claimed three wickets in quick succession to leave them struggling at 87-4 at tea. Afghan-born Qadri, Derbyshire's youngest Championship player, bowled tightly with the pink ball under the floodlights, taking 1-16 in 15 overs - including the maiden wicket of Andrew Salter, caught at slip for nine off 75 balls. Bizarrely, Derbyshire sent out two nightwatchmen in Tom Taylor and Palladino for the last two overs at 21:10 BST, but both men survived to continue on Wednesday. Glamorgan batsman Nick Selman told BBC Wales Sport: "It was good to spend time in the middle again, just getting used to that pink ball as they bowled pretty well and stuck to their lines. At the end we weren't patient enough and with our batting line-up we should have got 340 but hopefully we can come out and take some poles. "When you're set (against the pink ball), it's easy to pick up but with the spin it's a bit tricky to pick up, especially Mendis when he was bowling wrong 'uns. It was quite easy to play during twilight and the more time you spend out there the better. "If the (bad) weather stays away, we've got a big day and hopefully the quicks can take some poles early on and crack it open." Derbyshire bowler Tony Palladino told BBC Radio Derby: "It's always nice to get wickets early in your spell and it set us up a bit, we had a quiet middle session but we kept it reasonably tight and got our rewards later in the day. "The pink ball is a lot different, it doesn't buff up as nicely with spit or when you polish it, you just give it a dry polish. It swung early but not much in the middle period so the spinners bowled a lot of overs and it was turning for them. "(Hamidullah Qadri) bowled like John Emburey there, he did exactly what you what from a finger-spinner in the first innings, he kept it tight and hopefully he'll get his rewards second innings."

Summary: Derbyshire finished an attritional day's cricket on 2-0, 53 runs ahead after Glamorgan were dismissed for 237 just before the close.


The internet retailing giant also said it expected to report a bigger-than-expected loss in the next three-month period. Amazon shares plunged over 10% in after-hours trading in New York. Investors have long been wondering when Amazon will turn its significant revenues into profits for shareholders. Amazon has been spending heavily in various new initiatives, including its Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service in the US, and its $1bn acquisition of video game streaming site Twitch. That has hurt profits at the firm, with operating expenses growing to $21.1bn, compared with the $17.1bn last year. Investors have been tolerant of Amazon's policy of reinvesting profits back into the firm. But patience has been wearing thin in recent months. Shares in the firm have fallen nearly 20% since the beginning of this year. In a statement accompanying its earnings, Amazon founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos chose instead to focus on the firm's holiday offerings during the crucial period in the run-up to Christmas. "As we get ready for this upcoming holiday season, we are focused on making the customer experience easier and more stress-free than ever," he said.

Summary: Amazon has reported a third-quarter loss of $437m (£273m) - up significantly from the $41m loss it reported for the same period last year.


Cardiff singer Gwenno recently won the Welsh Music Prize 2015. But those unaware of the artist before will now see her adorning the outside wall of Cardiff's famous venue Clwb Ifor Bach on Womanby Street. The 34-year-old said she was " incredibly honoured" to see herself in the 12 x 38 metre mural. "I remember Clwb when I was growing up, I probably went to see my first gig there, dragged along to a Welsh Language Society event with my mum," said Gwenno, whose full name is Gwenno Saunders. "Clwb is a huge part of everyone's heritage from Wales, most bands have played here. "I'm incredibly honoured that they thought my face was worth putting up there," added the singer, who recently became a mother to son, Nico. Gwenno was first approached by designer Mark James about the mural, which he designed for the Get it right campaign. The campaign aims to prevent piracy in music and television, by promoting the value of creativity in the UK and raising awareness of genuine online content services. "Gwenno's album had just come out and was getting a lot of attention," Mr James said. The sci-fi themed album Y Dydd Olaf, sung in both Welsh and Cornish, was inspired by Owain Owain's 1976 Welsh novel of the same name. "The original idea was to be quite political and to make a statement," he said. Mr James's design, one of Cardiff's largest street art projects, was sprayed painted onto the building by local street artists Rmer, Zadok and Karm, in under three days. It will remain on the walls of Clwb Ifor Bach for the next six months.

Summary: An award-winning musician says seeing a giant mural of herself on the side of a club she went to as a teenager is "very, very surreal".


The 20-year-old re-signed for the Vixens on loan from Chelsea for the Women's Super League One Spring Series, which begins on 22 April. A Bristol City statement on Wednesday said: "A scan last week confirmed she has ruptured her ACL a few weeks ago." The ex-England Under-19 striker scored 11 goals in all competitions in 2016.

Summary: Bristol City Women forward Mille Farrow is set for a spell on the sidelines after rupturing her anterior cruciate knee ligament in a friendly.


Leigh Berridge and her colleague were accused of falsely acquiring Â£3m in EU money. Ms Berridge, 46, was a director at the former Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy and lost her job. The college's successor, Fife College, said it was inappropriate for it to comment. Ms Berridge, from Cupar in Fife, was told last month that no charges against her would be pursued after two years of criminal investigations. The mother-of-two is calling for Holyrood's Public Audit Committee to re-open a report on the college after parliament reconvenes. Ms Berridge was accused of inducing the Scottish government to hand over the cash to Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy, Fife between 2008 and 2012. She was arrested at her home in the village of Pitlessie, Fife in December 2013. The college was said to have obtained Â£3.3m of cash from the Scottish government that it was not entitled to, with an attempt to get another Â£127,000. The Auditor General laid a report into Adam Smith College before the Scottish Parliament in October 2013. At the time the Scottish Parliament's Public Audit Committee agreed to defer its consideration of the report until criminal investigations had been concluded. Ms Berridge, who is considering legal action, believes a parliamentary investigation would clear her name and that of a colleague who also faced criminal investigations. She said: "I lost my job, a job that I loved and was very good at. This whole investigation started because of alleged institutional bullying and harassment." Ms Berridge was charged along with Anna Milligan, one of the college's business development managers. Ms Milligan's charges were dropped in February this year. "For Anna and I to have been accused of being part of a criminal conspiracy and be arrested in my own home has been hugely traumatic and detrimental to myself and my family. "People still have questions about what went on. I still feel I need to clear both my name and that of my colleague. That is why I want the Audit Committee to look again at the Section 22 report. All details of precisely what happened and who is accountable must now come into the public domain." At the time the charges against Ms Berridge were dropped, the Crown Office said: "The Crown raised criminal proceedings against Anna Milligan and Leigh Berridge, charging them with operating a fraudulent scheme by which Adam Smith College, Kirkcaldy, falsely claimed EU funding from the Scottish government. "No individual gained financially from the scheme, and the investigation was complex, involving detailed scrutiny of the college's finances and systems of management and administration. "As further evidence came to light, it became clear that there was no longer sufficient evidence to continue criminal proceedings." Four people were initially investigated - a 50-year-old man and three women aged 44, 49, and 58. The allegations related to the period between 2008 and 2012. Adam Smith College is now part of Fife College after a merger with Carnegie College in 2013. A spokeswoman for Fife College said it would be inappropriate for it to make any comment on

Summary: A former senior college manager who was cleared of fraud is calling for a Holyrood inquiry into what happened to be re-opened.


Grand leaves along with club hero Jason Walker, both aged 32, teenage defender Brad Carroll and 17-year-old goalkeeper Dan Eccles. Midfielders Mo Fafana, 28, Dan Pilkington, 25, Paddy Lacey, 23, and Alex Newby, 20, also exit. Four players have been offered contract renewals, including Newby's brother, 20-year-old Elliot. Fellow midfielders Alex Ray Harvey, 26, Andy Parry, 24 and 17-year-old defender Steve Williams make up the quartet who have been offered a new deal following an 11th-placed finish in the National League. Grand helped to captain the side to promotion to the fifth tier of English football, while Walker was the game-winning goalscorer as Barrow lifted the FA Trophy in 2010. Barrow have also said that talks are on-going to renew the contract of striker Andy Cook, 25, who scored 24 goals in 45 appearances for The Bluebirds this season, despite his willingness to pursue a career in the Football League. BBC Cumbria Sport understands that Barrow have offered to make the talisman - and third highest goalscorer in the National League this season - the highest paid player in the club's history.

Summary: Captain Simon Grand will leave Barrow as eight players fail to have their contracts renewed.


Mr Baran thought up the idea of making communication networks resilient to attack or traffic surges by splitting the data sent over them into chunks. His pioneering work was carried out in connection with Cold War military research. It would later form the basis of the academic network Arpanet which eventually led to the internet. Mr Baran first put forward the idea of slicing data into "message blocks" and using a distributed system of nodes to pass them on when working at the Rand Corporation in the mid-1960s. In his initial conception, Mr Baran said the system would operate by what he called "hot-potato routing". The work was done as part of a project to keep telecommunications networks operating even if a large part of them was knocked out by a first strike nuclear attack. The system would be better able to withstand an attack because it lacked a central hub through which all data or messages passed. This work found new relevance during the early days of the Arpanet, a network designed to aid US scientists communicate and which laid the foundations of the modern-day internet. Contributions from British scientist Donald Davies led to Mr Baran's ideas being adapted into a technology known as packet switching. This cuts data up into small chunks that are then despatched around the network. "Paul wasn't afraid to go in directions counter to what everyone else thought was the right or only thing to do," Vinton Cerf, one of the fathers of the internet and a longtime friend of Baran, told the New York Times. Mr Baran died at home in Palo Alto, California from complications caused by lung cancer. "He was a man of infinite patience," said his son David Baran. He added that his father had recently shown him a paper written in 1966 which speculated about what people would do with the telecommunication networks in the future. "It spelled out this idea that by the year 2000 that people would be using online networks for shopping and news," he said. "It was an absolute lunatic fringe idea."

Summary: US scientist Paul Baran, whose work in the 1960s helped pave the way for the internet, has died aged 84.


The Breakthrough Listen project, backed by Prof Stephen Hawking, will train a US radio telescope on a target called Tabby's Star. Tabby's Star has been a subject of attention and controversy over its irregular dimming pattern. Some scientists have been puzzled by large dips in the star's brightness. Hawking backs new search for aliens One of the most favoured explanations for this behaviour is that a swarm of comet fragments is periodically blocking light from the star, which also known by its official designation - KIC 8462852. One very remote and speculative idea - yet one that has attracted much attention in the media - is that the pattern is caused by some kind of artificial structure, or a collection of structures, around the star. The co-director of the Breakthrough Listen programme, Dr Andrew Siemion, said he was sceptical of explanations that involved intelligent life. He added: "The Breakthrough Listen programme has the most powerful SETI equipment on the planet, and access to the largest telescopes on the planet. "We can look at it with greater sensitivity and for a wider range of signal types than any other experiment in the world." The team plans to use the 100m Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, US, to observe the star, which is named after the leader of the team that discovered it - Tabetha Boyajian, assistant professor at Louisiana State University. Previous searches, using the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory, have failed to find any unusual signals around the star. But Dr Siemion explained: "The Green Bank Telescope is the largest fully steerable radio telescope on the planet, and it's the largest, most sensitive telescope that's capable of looking at Tabby's star given its position in the sky." The unusual behaviour around Tabby's star was first reported in September 2015 by Dr Boyajian, who was then a postdoctoral student at Yale University. The findings were published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The team was actually looking for evidence of planets orbiting stars other than our own. While most such dimming by transiting planets is brief, regular and blocks just 1 or 2% of the light of the star, Tabby's star dims for days at a time, by as much as 22%, and at irregular intervals. Speculation that the phenomenon could be caused by a "megastructure" built by an intelligent civilisation, has been dismissed by most scientists. But it has propelled the stellar object to prominence in the popular media. "I don't think it's very likely - a one in a billion chance or something like that - but nevertheless, we're going to check it out," said Dan Werthimer, chief scientist at Berkeley SETI, based at the University of California, Berkeley. Yet Tabby's Star remains a fascinating conundrum for astronomers. Some observations show that the dips in brightness are more irregular than a comet swarm would produce. And another study suggested that it had been dimming at a steady rate for the past century. The Breakthrough Listen initiative was launched in 2015 at an event in London.

Summary: A $100m initiative to listen for signals from alien life is targeting a star with an unusual dimming pattern.


Digitonomy Ltd sent over five million unsolicited messages encouraging people to apply for cash loans via affiliates. Investigating 1,464 complaints about the texts made between April 2015 and February 2016, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) found the company could not prove it had consent. A company spokesman apologised to those people who found the texts "unwelcome". The ICO's investigation revealed the company had used affiliates to send the messages and claimed they had proof of consent. The ICO's head of enforcement Steve Eckersley said the wording of the consent examples were not sufficient and businesses that rely on direct marketing "must be able to confirm that people have given their permission to receive text messages". "Depending on the word of another company is simply not acceptable and is not an excuse," he said. A spokesman for Digitonomy said the company was "sorry that a reported 0.03% of recipients found the marketing messages from our appointed affiliate management company last year unwelcome". He added that the company remained "determined to operate at all times within both the spirit and the letter of the law and best practice".

Summary: A Chester credit broker has been fined £120,000 for sending millions of text messages without permission.


Welsh duo Alex Cuthbert and Adam Jones join the South African in a line-up captained by Ireland's Shane Jennings. He leads a side containing nine different nationalities with 466 international appearances between them. It includes his Leinster team-mates Zane Kirchner and Jimmy Gopperth, Toulon's leading try scorer David Smith and former All Black Joe Rokocoko. Head coach Robbie Deans will be in charge of the Barbarians, the famous invitation club celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. Leinster and Ireland flanker Jennings retires from the professional game this summer after a career in which he has won 13 caps for Ireland, Pro12 and European Cup titles with the province and an Aviva Premiership title with Leicester Tigers. "It's an honour to lead out such an illustrious team. It's a great highlight in my career and we'll be determined to do the Barbarians' jersey justice against Ireland," said Jennings. Lions tight-head Jones anchors a scrum containing a powerful second row combination in Uruguay's Rodrigo Capo Ortega and Georgia's Konstantin Mikautadze. Japan's Ryu Koliniasi Holani is a dynamic number eight from Deans's club side Panasonic Wild Knights. Ireland have named a 27-strong squad, dominated by Leinster and Ulster players, for the Limerick encounter. Barbarians: Zane Kirchner (Leinster & South Africa), Alex Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues & Wales), Joe Rokocoko (Bayonne & New Zealand), Wynand Olivier (Montpellier & South Africa), David Smith (Toulon), James Gopperth (Leinster), Ruan Pienaar (Ulster & South Africa), Roberto Tejerizo (Tucuman & Argentina), Deon Fourie (Lyon), Adam Jones(Cardiff Blues & Wales), Rodrigo Capo Ortega (Castres & Uruguay), Konstantin Mikautadze (Toulon & Georgia), Shane Jennings (Leinster & Ireland, capt), Gerhard Vosloo (Toulon), Ryu Koliniasi Holani (Panasonic Wild Knights & Japan).

The Fawlty Towers and Monty Python star was quoted in a magazine interview last year as saying "there's no way I want to work in TV, especially at the BBC". In recent years, the 74-year-old British actor has mainly concentrated on voiceover roles. But BBC comedy head Shane Allen told the Daily Telegraph Cleese is a "comedy god, and the door is always open". "We're in discussions about a piece that he might be in. It's a sitcom and it's very early days," Mr Allen said. Cleese, who appeared on the big screen in A Fish Called Wanda and two Harry Potter films, did take on small appearances in US TV sitcoms Whitney and Entourage between 2010 and 2013. He also reunited with his Monty Python co-stars in 2013 for live shows to pay an Â£800,000 legal bill after losing a royalties case. And following his divorce from third wife Alyce Eichelberger in 2008, he performed in a comedy show dubbed the Alimony Tour. In last year's interview with Shortlist magazine, Cleese said he felt the BBC's commissioning editors had "no idea" what they were doing. He also said he had been offered "cliched" roles by ITV. Referring to Cleese's possible BBC sitcom return, Mr Allen told the Telegraph: "There are certain people who have earned their badges, who have got the right to do what they want." He was speaking to the Telegraph before the first episode airs on Sunday in the BBC's "landmark sitcom series". The series features modern remakes of Are You Being Served?, Porridge, Till Death Us Do Part, Steptoe and Son, and Up Pompeii! Mr Allen said it was "insulting" to suggest the BBC's new comedies were not as good as the past but added: "This is a chance to try to reclaim that and say these are titles and writers and pieces of work that are proven, and hallowed, and it's a chance to introduce them to a new generation." A BBC spokeswoman said: "We would love to work with John Cleese. However nothing is confirmed at this stage and we do not comment on developments."

Summary: John Cleese is reported to be in talks to return to the BBC for a sitcom which has been written specifically for him.


Kamiyah Mobley, who was abducted in July 1998, was found after a tip. Authorities in Walterboro, South Carolina, have charged Gloria Williams, 51, with kidnapping. Ms Mobley was living under another name and believed Ms Williams to be her mother. The biological family have been notified of the news. Jacksonville Sherriff's Office said DNA tests had confirmed Ms Mobley's identity. She appeared in good health, a "normal 18-year-old woman", it said. The office said it had acted on 2,500 tips since the abduction and received one last year to @MissingKids that eventually broke the case. It showed the original composite images released at the time of the kidnapping, along with a photograph of Ms Williams, who was arrested at her home on Friday morning. The baby was only eight hours old when she was taken by a woman posing as a health care worker at the University Medical Center, now known as UF Health Jacksonville. The woman told Kamiyah's mother, Shanara, that her baby had a fever and needed to be checked. She took the baby out of the room and disappeared. The case brought significant media attention as Shanara tried to locate her child. Although the biological family had been notified of the discovery and were "elated", the Jacksonville Sherriff's Office said: "It is up to the victim on how contact will be made. The victim is now an adult." Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said: "She had an idea that something may have occurred but... imagine her trying to process this. "She was abducted as a newborn and needs time to process this... We want to respect her privacy and we ask that you do too."

Summary: A girl stolen as a newborn from a hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, has been found alive in South Carolina after more than 18 years, police say.


Both have agreed "long-term" contracts with the Championship strugglers and have joined for undisclosed fees. Pearce, 27, and Northern Ireland international Mckay, 26, could feature against Ipswich on Saturday. The pair follow Liam Ridgewell and Chris Herd to Wigan, following their loan moves to the DW Stadium earlier this month. "He's someone we've been tracking for a while, a really powerful centre half, a leader and a warrior on the pitch," said manager Malky Mackay of former Portsmouth and Bournemouth centre-back Pearce. "When we found out he might be available, we immediately did all we could to get him because he's a player who can play a major role in taking the club forwards." On Mckay, the Wigan boss added: "We've been looking at Billy for some time. He lives to score and his record over the past two seasons speaks for itself. He's scored a lot of goals and been deadly for Inverness." Shaun Maloney, Ben Watson, Adam Forshaw, Callum McManaman and Ivan Ramis have all departed Wigan in the past week and ex-Cardiff manager Mackay said he knew he would have to offload players in January. "I knew when I took the job on there had to be a restructure of the squad in terms of it being leaner and also dealing with the contract situation," added Mackay. "So that then really comes to pass when the January window opens up. "It was a process that was going to start in January and we are in the middle of it. "What we are trying to do is make the best decisions for the club and every individual situation - depending on the club that comes in, the finances they want to pay, where the players contract is and where the players head is." Mackay also revealed there could be more departures from the DW Stadium before the January window closes.

Summary: Wigan Athletic have signed Leeds defender Jason Pearce and Inverness Caledonian Thistle striker Billy Mckay.


The 30-man squad Broos picked for the opening round of 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and the Confederations Cup includes pacy midfielder Petrus Boumal. He caught the coach's eye with his mobility around the park at CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria's top flight. Broos, keen to inject fresh blood to a squad that won the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, has cast his net far and wide in search of new talent. The Belgian has also given a first call-up to Jean Charles Castelleto, a defender who plays for French Ligue 2 side Red Star and Lucien Owona, a centre-back for Spanish second division outfit Alcorcon. Striker Jean Pierre Nsame of Swiss side Servette is also in a squad dominated by more established faces such as goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa, striker Benjamin Moukandjo and defender Collins Fai. Goalkeeper Andre Onana, armed with a fresh contract he signed at Dutch giants Ajax a few days ago, has also been called up. His return after snubbing the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations will see him fight with Ondoa for the number one jersey. However, there is no place in the squad for strikers Clinton Njie and Eric Choupo-Moting. The Indomitable Lions are due to play Morocco in their first Nations Cup qualifier on 10 June. Three days later the reigning African champions will take on Colombia in a friendly ahead of the Fifa Confederations Cup in Russia. Cameroon squad: Goalkeepers: Fabrice Ondoa (FC Seville, Spain), Andrew Onana (Ajax Amsterdam, The Netherlands), Georges Bokwe (Mjondalen, Norway), Jules Goda (Ajaccio, France) Defenders: Ernest Mabouka (MSK Zilina, Slovakia), Collins Fai (Standard Liege, Belgium), Michael Ngadeu (Slavia Prague, Czech Republic), Adolphe Teikeu (Sochaux, France), Mohammed Djettei (Tarragona, Spain), Ambroise Oyongo (Montreal Impact, Canada), Jonathan Ngwem (Sambizanga, Angola), Jerome Guihoata (Panionios, Greece), Jean Louis Castelletto (Red Star, France), Lucien Owona (Alcorcon, Spain) Midfielders: Sebastien Siani (Ostende, Belgium), Arnaud Djoum (Hearts, Scotland), Georges Mandjeck (FC Metz, France), Zambo Anguissa (Marseille, France), Frank Boya (1860 Munich, Germany), Petrus Boumal (CSKA Sofia, Bulgaria) Forwards: Christian Bassogog (Henan Jianye, China), Karl Toko (Angers CSO, France), Olivier Boumal (Panathinaikos, Greece), Jacques Zoua (FC Kaiserslautern, Germany), Vincent Aboubakar (Besiktas, Turkey), Benjamin Moukandjo (Lorient, France), Robert Tambe Ndip (Spartak Trnava, Slovakia), Nicolas Ngamaleu (Rheindof, Austria), Jean Pierre Nsame (Servette, Switzerland), Edgard Salli (Nuremberg, Germany)

Summary: Cameroon coach Hugo Broos has called up seven uncapped players to his squad for upcoming matches.


At the High Court in Livingston, Scott Macintosh was found guilty of attempted murder. He had denied carrying out the attack on art graduate Kate Lampitt-Adey, 26, in her Edinburgh flat in August. Macintosh, from Leith, claimed in his defence Miss Lampitt-Adey already had the injuries when he got to her flat. The photographs, taken by a police officer an hour after the assault, show her entire face swollen and bruised. Her eyes were badly bloodshot and fingertip bruises on either side of her windpipe could be seen where Macintosh, 36, repeatedly tried to choke her. Police called to the scene by neighbours who heard her strangled screams for help were also attacked by the accused. Officers found Miss Lampitt-Adey barricaded in a room in her Easter Road home "cowering" behind a bed.

Summary: A man who attacked and strangled a woman who dumped him after a short relationship has been jailed for nine years.


Olivia Edohasim, nine, died when the black Toyota Auris she was travelling in hit a brick wall on Manchester Road, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, on 7 May. Police have released two CCTV images of a Citroen and a Range Rover to encourage the drivers to contact them. Although not involved, police think they may be able to aid the inquiry. Police said a man, 45, and a girl, 11 - who were also in the car and are believed to be related to Olivia - are still in hospital but are "recovering well". Police said neither the driver of the Citroen C3 or a dark coloured Range Rover Evoque have come forward to speak to police. Sgt Brian Orr, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "We don't believe the drivers of these vehicles have done anything wrong or were involved in the collision." He said new information about where the vehicles were may "jog some memories". He said: "Moments before the collision the Citroen C3 is seen to be travelling along Stamford Brook Road heading in the direction of Manchester Road." He said it was then overtaken by the Toyota car Olivia was travelling in near the park entrance of Trafford College. The Citroen then turned left on to Manchester Road towards Sale. The driver of the Range Rover Evoque turned right on to Stamford Brook Road from Manchester Road and passed the Dulux building. Sgt Orr believes the Range Rover driver saw the Toyota Auris overtake the Citroen and flashed the main beam headlights at the Toyota. The Range Rover then continued along Stamford Brook Road towards Turnbull Road.

Summary: Police are urging two drivers who may have seen a crash in which a young girl was killed to come forward.


Airdrieonians man Watt placed the ball in the bottom corner following good work from Robert Thomson. He then turned provider as player-manager Darren Dods headed the second.
