Falcons twice led through Vereniki Goneva and Rob Vickers tries, with James Short and Harry Williams replying to level before a Simmonds penalty put Chiefs 17-14 up at the break. Simmonds landed his fourth kick to convert a second-half penalty try. A Sam Skinner score and a second Short effort ensured the bonus-point victory. The win lifts them to within a point of leaders Wasps, who face Gloucester on Sunday. For 20-year-old fly-half Simmonds, it was the perfect day with the boot as he replaced injured veteran Gareth Steenson in a side that was missing a number of players - including England's Jack Nowell and Henry Slade - due to Six Nations duties. Newcastle, who a week earlier earned an impressive 46-31 win over Northampton at Kingston Park, made a strong start with Goneva crossing for a superb try, which started with a bustling run from Calum Green. Short, who would finish the day by touching down for the fifth time in two games, restored parity for the first time with a 90-metre effort, which came from an error as Newcastle closed in on a second try. While Exeter were made to work hard for their first-half lead after Vickers again edged Falcons ahead, the hosts were more ruthless after the break and heavily restricted Newcastle, who are still without a win at Sandy Park. Exeter Chiefs assistant coach Ali Hepher: "Newcastle are a good side and in good form and came here with a good deal of confidence but we started poorly, especially in defence. "We were hesitant in that first half particularly when we had ball in hand as we needed to run hard instead of trying the clever ball. "There was plenty to address at half-time but our defence was outstanding in that second half and to earn a bonus point was invaluable. "Moving one point into second and above Saracens at this stage is not important as the top four places are really tight but we are hoping to remain there and to secure a top two finish would be really nice." Newcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards: "I'm disappointed as we started really well but we weren't accurate enough and this allowed them back into the game. "We should have been further in front but we didn't take our chances and too many kicks went straight into touch. "They are very good side, who are incredibly patient, as they wait for a chink in your defence before striking." Exeter: Dollman; Woodburn, Whitten, Devoto, Short; Simmonds, Maunder; Moon, Yeandle (capt), Williams, Lees, Parling, Horstmann, Armand, Waldrom. Replacements: Malton, Rimmer, Low, Skinner, Atkins, Townsend, Hooley, Hill. Newcastle: Tait; Goneva, C Harris, Waldouck, Sinoti; Hodgson, Takulua; Vickers, Cooper, Wilson, Green, Olmstead, M Wilson, Welch (capt), Latu. Replacements: Sowrey, B Harris, D Wilson, Young, Chick, Egerton, Delany, Burdon. For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter.

Summary: Joe Simmonds kicked 11 points in his first Premiership start to help Exeter Chiefs move into second in the table with victory over Newcastle Falcons.


In mathematical terms it means that he has ridden more winners than any other jockey this season. In the context of horse racing, and sport in general, it is a triumph of commitment and perseverance which may never be rivalled. Johnson has been trying to win it since the 1990s. It is his curse, and his blessing, that his career coincided with Sir Anthony (AP) McCoy. For 20 years in succession McCoy was champion. Throughout that time, almost every year, the man who finished behind him in second place was Richard Johnson. I met up with Richard Johnson in Somerset at the yard of trainer Philip Hobbs - their relationship has been an important part of the jockey's career. At 7.30 on an April morning Johnson was helping to school a group of the yard's horses, taking them over hurdles and fences on a field high above the Bristol Channel. In racing this might be termed 'work' but for Johnson, even at 38 years of age, he insists it is still pleasure. "This is all I've ever wanted to do so it's not a job. Unfortunately I'm going to have to get a job one day when I have to stop doing it, but genuinely you love doing it. I think the 'job' is the driving round, the long days, but riding the horses is the fun bit," he said. Media playback is not supported on this device "But for me being champion jockey was the thing I've always wanted to do since I was a child growing up. So I suppose actually to reach that goal is always what I wanted to do and there's a lot of satisfaction. "When AP McCoy retired at the end of last year I sort of thought, well I should be able to have a good chance at it. But there was a pressure. If I don't become champion jockey now maybe I'll not achieve what I wanted to. But the season's been absolutely amazing. My agent Dave Roberts works tirelessly to keep me busy and sends me round the country on a daily basis to hopefully achieve what I have." Roberts was McCoy's agent too and in simple terms Johnson has picked up rides this year which may have previously gone to McCoy. It's helped him dominate the Jockeys' Championship. In the history of jump racing McCoy is the only man to have ridden more than 4,000 winners. But only one other jockey has gone past 3,000 winners, and that's Johnson. When McCoy was riding in his first championship winning season in 1995, Johnson was in his first year as a conditional, or apprentice, jockey. For two decades they were in each other's company on almost a daily basis. The relationship was simultaneously bitter rivalry and deep appreciation. Johnson said: "I used to tell him regularly, you'd get to Christmas, I'd say to AP, 'just go on holiday for a couple of months, give me a bit more of a chance!' With our sport you can win the Gold Cup or the Grand National

Summary: On Saturday at Sandown, Richard Johnson lifted the trophy confirming that he is jump racing's champion jockey.


The bill regulates agreements between occupiers and site owners over the termination of contracts and the sale of caravans. It also brings the definition of a caravan into line with the rest of the UK. The Private Members Bill was sponsored by UUP MLA, John McAllister. It is the first since 1948 to have gone through all the stages of the Assembly to become law and is likely to take effect from the Autumn. Mr McAllister was congratulated by politicians from other parties including the DUP MLA, Jim Wells, who said he welcomed the legislation. Fabulous "It will hopefully stop the situation that saw some people signing away their rights to how they insure, sell and maintain their caravans." More than 14,000 static holiday caravan owners will also have increased protection including the right to a written contract and to have a greater say in how their caravan site is run. Jack Moore, who lives in a mobile home in Ballyhalbert in County Down, had been campaigning for the change since 2008. "It's absolutely fabulous it had gone through, it brings us into line with legislation in England and Wales," he said. "We were way behind, the park homes in England have been in use for over 50 years, whereas the park homes here are in their infancy." Social Development Minister, Alex Attwood, said: "For years, some caravan owners have been forced, at the drop of a hat, to accept changes made by site owners. "Many have faced raised fees, moved caravans and even eviction from sites, without much protection," he said. "This bill will make a real difference to those people, by clearly setting out in law the obligations for site owners and holiday caravan owners." "I'd like to pay tribute to John McCallister, the Bill's sponsor, for his considerable efforts in completing the bill which will make a real difference to the lives of static caravan owners, in both the residential and holiday sectors."

Summary: The Caravans Bill has been passed granting legal protection in NI to both those who holiday in caravans and those who live in them permanently.


It was back in 2008, and the young Indian woman was in Paris studying to be a pastry chef. When her college friends realised that she had never tasted a macaron - a small, colourful circular cake made from ground almonds and filled with cream or icing - they whisked her to one of the best macaron shops in the French capital. After just one bite, Ms Dhingra decided there and then that when she returned to Mumbai she would open her own macaron store, the first of its kind in India. "This might sound dramatic, but I realised that yes, this is what I want to do, I want to go back to India and take macarons with me. This was my mission," she says. Fast forward seven years, and Ms Dhingra, now 28, is the owner of three busy macaron shops in Mumbai. Another three stores will open in the city this year, and she has plans to expand her business, Le 15 Patisserie, across the country. Yet as a young businesswoman in India, she says it hasn't always been plain sailing. Ms Dhingra should have been a lawyer. But while studying law at university in Mumbai, she decided that she wanted to quit to do something more creative. Remembering helping her mother in the kitchen during her childhood, she decided to work with food instead of legal cases. So she convinced her parents to let her go to Switzerland to study hospitality and management. After three years at a Swiss catering college, Ms Dhingra did one year at the well-known Le Cordon Bleu school in Paris. Returning to Mumbai upon graduation, she set to work in her parents' kitchen on developing her own macaron recipe. Yet with the weather in Mumbai being substantially hotter and more humid than Paris, she struggled for half a year, as the heat and humidity makes it difficult to make the delicate cakes. "When I started making macarons, first at my home kitchen, it was a complete disaster," she says. "It took me around six months of research and 60 failed recipes to finally get something right." When she finally had a recipe she was proud of, her businessman father agreed to invest the initial funds she required to set up the business. Yet being both young and female meant she faced additional challenges. "The biggest problem was to get people to take you seriously," she says. "For example, if I had to sign a lease for a place, or buy machinery, I would have to ask my father to make these calls for me." Ms Dhingra also found it difficult to deal with Indian red tape. "My education in Switzerland, and working in hotels there, gave me a good idea of what working in hospitality would be like, but dealing with the bureaucracy is extremely difficult when starting a business in India." The Boss is a series profiling entrepreneurs from around the world. However, she eventually secured the premises for a small commercial kitchen in 2010, and began hiring and training staff. The

Summary: When Pooja Dhingra tasted her first macaron she immediately knew what she wanted to do with her life.


Local man, Joe McMinn, 28, was discovered in an area known as Devil's Den, near Goodwyns housing estate in Dorking, in the early hours of Easter Monday. Richard Taylor, 21, of no fixed address, is due to appear at Guildford Magistrates Court later. A post-mortem found Mr McMinn died of multiple stab wounds.

Summary: A man has been charged with murder after a body was found in a woodland stream in Surrey.


Morgan King, a single mother, had apologised to her professor for being absent due to childcare problems. The University of Tennessee professor emailed to say she could bring her daughter, Korbyn, to lessons and she would be "delighted" to hold her. Ms King said the warm words made her cry. In an interviewed with US news channel WBIR-TV, she said: "I just didn't know what else to do. I emailed my professor after class and was apologising for missing class that day." Professor Sally Hunter, from Knoxville, then wrote back with her "very serious" offer of help. "Let me know if there are any other ways I could be supporting you," she said, before signing off. Ms King shared the email on Twitter and it was shared thousands of times. On Wednesday, the university's chancellor, Beverly Davenport, responded: "Morgan, thanks for showing us challenges college students face. Prof Hunter, thanks for being part of the solution." Ms King said her professor, who teaches in the Department of Child and Family Studies, is not on Twitter and is nonplussed by the reaction. "She just doesn't think she did anything special, which speaks about the kind of person she is," Ms King told WBIR-TV. The student said she has not needed to take her up on the offer yet. When she graduates she hopes to become a recreational therapist, working with children with disabilities. "I have to get my degree for Korbyn, not just for me. It means a lot that people are really supportive," Ms King said.

Summary: A US student with a three-month-old baby has expressed gratitude to a teacher who offered to babysit so she would not miss classes.


Media playback is not supported on this device A German television documentary claimed to present evidence of systematic doping and corruption in Russian sport. IAAF chief Lamine Diack told BBC Sport athletics is "in crisis" but said "90% to 95%" of athletes are clean. Meadows, 33, was beaten to European gold by a Russian drug cheat in 2011. German television station WDR broadcast three documentaries alleging that 99% of Russian athletes are doping and that IAAF officials were implicated in covering it up. The claims have been rejected as a "pack of lies" by the Russian Athletics Federation and Diack told BBC Sport that the figure was "a joke" and "ridiculous". Meadows, from Wigan, said: "If it is as widespread as those allegations do deem, I just think it would just kill our sport. "Sponsors may walk away from the sport and fans may walk away from the sport. We may never get a 100% accuracy of the scale of doping. "I really hope it isn't true to that scale but I do think doping is widespread in athletics." In 2011 Meadows finished second in the 800m to Yevgeniya Zinurova in the European Indoor Championships, only to be upgraded to gold the following year when the Russian was banned for two years for doping. Meadows added: "It might be the case that we have to prove how many people are doping, destroy the image of the sport and then rebuild it again and look for positive role models who can succeed and win medals on the international stage who are clean athletes." The BBC has not independently verified the documentary's allegations and is awaiting responses from athletes targeted in the programme.

Summary: British athlete Jenny Meadows fears the Russian doping allegations could "kill" the sport if proven by an ongoing International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) investigation.


Rising energy prices pushed inflation to 1.8% in January, a near four-year high and up from 1.1% in December. Eurostat data also showed the jobless rate fell to 9.6% in December, the lowest rate since May 2009. GDP growth edged up to 0.5% in the final three months of 2016, up from 0.4% in the previous quarter. The rise in eurozone inflation last month was driven by an 8.1% jump in energy prices in January compared with the year before. The spike in the rate takes it up to the European Central Bank's inflation target of close to, but below, 2%. Some have called for the European Central Bank to further scale back its bond-buying programme. However, the ECB also looks at core inflation, which excludes energy and unprocessed food prices, in its policy decisions, and this rate remained unchanged at 0.9% in January. In December, the ECB said it would buy bonds worth 60bn euros a month from April. The 80bn euro-a-month quantitative easing scheme had been due to end in March, but was expected to be extended. The stimulus programme was an effort to increase the supply of money in the economic bloc to keep interest rates low, and encourage borrowing and spending. The European Central Bank's key job is to maintain "price stability" in the Eurozone, which it interprets as inflation of below but close to 2%. For the last few years it has been wrestling with inflation that its governing council considers too low, at times even below zero - a situation of deflation or falling prices. That has led the bank to choose very unusual policies intended to stimulate prices rises - ultra-low interest rates (one of its rates is negative) and quantitative easing, buying financial assets with newly created money. So with inflation now at 1.8%, pretty much in line with the target, is that job done? Time to turn the policy taps off? Not necessarily. The rise in inflation is down to higher food and especially energy prices. The impact of those factors is likely to fade and other price rises are still relatively slow. There are different views in the ECB's governing council but the majority are not likely to be in a hurry to get policy back to normal. The eurozone's unemployment rate of 9.6% in December was down from 9.7% in November and compares with a rate of 10.5% a year earlier. The countries with the lowest unemployment rates in December were the Czech Republic (3.5%) and Germany (3.9%), while countries with the highest levels of unemployment were Greece (23.0% in October 2016) and Spain (18.4%). Despite the pick-up in economic growth during the final quarter of 2016, across the year as a whole eurozone GDP rose by 1.7%, which was down from 2% in 2015. Analysts also questioned whether the recent improvement could be sustained. "While recent economic news points to improved growth, we suspect the eurozone may find it difficult to sustain this momentum amid appreciable political uncertainties during 2017 and likely reduced consumer purchasing power due to higher inflation,"

Summary: The eurozone's economy is showing signs of recovery after the latest data pointed to a fall in unemployment while growth and inflation picked up.


Peter Lloyd, 45, lives in a tent in the garden of an "uninhabitable" house, Cardiff Civil Justice Centre heard. Mr Lloyd, who has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, said he was entitled to direct payments to employ a helper. The council, which was ordered to pay Â£12,000 in costs, had claimed he was not capable of managing money. Quashing the council's decision on Wednesday, Mr Justice Singh said electromagnetic hypersensitivity was not a recognised condition in the UK. He added it was "not a matter for the court to say what the decision would have been if the authority went about its decision correctly". Direct payments are given to individuals by councils so they can buy help or services instead of having them supplied by the authority. Mr Lloyd lives in the back garden of a privately-owned home in Thornhill and has refused alternative accommodation and a portable toilet, the court heard. He urinates in plastic bottles and defecates in bed pans lined with black bin bags. He has no running water and an insurance company deemed the house uninhabitable after flooding and the discovery of asbestos - although that has since been removed. When council workers went to collect Mr Lloyd's waste in May, they found 90 litres of urine and 40 bags of faeces. He has meals delivered five times a week, including supplies for the weekend on a Friday. As he has no fridge, he has to have food which will not go off. Representing Mr Lloyd, Christian Howells said: "Where he lives has to be adapted because the symptoms are very real to him." He described the situation as "chicken and egg" - Mr Lloyd wants the money to pay for help to improve his day-to-day life but the council felt he was not in a position to be given the funds. Rebecca Stickler, for the council, said: "The housing department has offered housing in a field and various properties and he has refused them all. "It can't possibly be the case that a local authority should be compelled to use the public purse to pay money to someone who they know cannot manage that payment." Mr Lloyd's private landlord has begun eviction proceedings in county court, he is estranged from his family and the council recognises him as homeless. Speaking after the hearing, councillor Susan Elsmore, cabinet member for social care, health and wellbeing, insisted the council had never said Mr Lloyd was not capable of managing money. "The council's role as a social services authority is to ensure that individuals have the opportunity to benefit from an appropriate assessment of their needs, and any services that may be necessary to meet them," she said. "The council maintains that it has acted in keeping with its responsibilities, and in relation to this case that it has acted in good faith."

Summary: A man who says he is allergic to electricity should not have had his payments from Cardiff council refused, a judge has ruled.


The Troup seat has been vacant since the death in September of Conservative councillor John Duncan, who had represented the ward since 2002. Independent Jack Moodie resigned from the Kirkwall West and Orphir seat on Orkney in the same month. Votes can be cast between 07:00 and 22:00, with the counts being held on Friday.

Summary: By-elections to replace councillors in Aberdeenshire and Orkney are being held.


All four, two aged 13 and two aged 14, have been bailed pending further inquiries following the attack in Workington, Cumbria, on Tuesday. The victim was walking along Black Path when she was raped close to Cloffocks car park at about 19:00 GMT. A fifth boy, aged 13, was arrested on suspicion of rape and later released without charge.

Summary: Four teenage boys arrested after a 15-year-old girl was raped have been released on bail.


Media playback is not supported on this device Ainslie, 35, admits it would have been "difficult to top" the feeling of winning at his home Olympics and is keen to move on with new challenges. "It was a tough decision," Ainslie told BBC Sport. "I've had a fantastic Olympic career but I want to make it clear that the focus is now on the Americas Cup." Ainslie won a silver medal at Atlanta 1996, with golds in Sydney, Athens, Beijing and London. He has won more medals than any other sailor, ahead of Denmark's Paul Elvstrom, who has four golds. He is fourth in Britain's all-time individual medallist's list, behind Sir Chris Hoy (cycling; six gold, one silver), Sir Steve Redgrave (rowing; five gold, one bronze) and Bradley Wiggins (cycling; four gold, one silver, two bronze). Media playback is not supported on this device Ainslie added: "I considered all of the factors - my fitness and the issues with my back, the venue for the next Olympics and the type of boats, but what it really came down to was this opportunity with the Americas Cup." The sailor envisages skippering his Ben Ainslie Racing AC45 catamaran to glory in the historic competition will be one of the "biggest tests" of his career. "It's always been a dream of mine since I was a kid to be part of a winning Americas Cup team and ultimately I want to try and bring it back to the UK where it all started in 1851." Ainslie, who won his first Games medal - a silver in the Laser fleet - at Atlanta 1996, says he may have extended his Olympic career into a twentieth year had the International Sailing Federation [ISAF] reversed their decision to axe the Star class from Rio 2016. "There was a possibility that it may have been reinstated, but that didn't happen," reflected the four-time World Sailor of the Year Award winner. "There would have been no guarantees I would have made it to the Olympics going up against 2008 gold medallists Iain [Percy] and Andrew [Simpson], but certainly it was an option to go into that class." Ainslie ranked his success in London as his greatest personal Olympic moment, but that attaining a first gold at the Sydney 2000 Games was a close second. "It meant a huge amount to me to reverse the silver medal from 1996 and it gave me a huge amount of confidence that I could go on and achieve more," stated Ainslie who switched from the Laser to the Finn dinghy for Athens 2004. "I am proud of what I achieved [in the Olympics] but I think this decision [to retire from dinghy sailing] really helps to make it clear what the goal is and the intensions are. "Hopefully now we can go ahead and get the support to make that [Americas Cup success] happen."

Summary: British sailor Ben Ainslie will not bid for a fifth Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Rio Games and will instead focus on his Americas Cup campaign.


Ashbourne's Royal Shrovetide Football game involves two sides competing to move a ball to posts at opposing ends of the town. It takes place across fields, streets, car parks and waterways each Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. The game was won 1-0 by the Up'Ards, who defeated the Down'Ards in the two-day event. The Up'Ards - traditionally those born north of Henmore River - play against the Down'Ards from the south of the town's river. Each game begins with a guest of honour throwing the elaborately painted ball into the crowd. Prince Charles and the late Nottingham Forest and Derby County football manager Brian Clough are among the famous names chosen to "turn up" the ball in previous years. This year the honour fell to Dallas Burston, a former GP who became a businessman, and John Stubbs, a retired dairy farmer. Shop windows around the town were again boarded up ahead of the famously hard-fought contest. Players were also reminded they were not allowed to climb over parked cars or enter cemeteries, churchyards and memorial gardens. A goal was scored by Kurt Smith at about 20:20 GMT on Tuesday and it took nearly and hour for it to be confirmed. There were no goals on Wednesday.

Summary: Play has ended in a mass game of football that has been played in a Derbyshire town for centuries.


The 30-year-old Australian-born forward represented Scotland at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup. He holds the record for the most consecutive appearances in the NRL with 215 between 2006 and 2014. "The club has a great profile and stature in the game and I hope to be able to contribute to developing that wonderful culture," he said. Douglas will join St Helens ahead of the 2017 season. "I am told Saints have the best fans in the game and I can't wait to engage with them. I'm really looking forward to this next chapter in my life," he added.

Summary: Super League side St Helens have signed prop Luke Douglas from NRL's Gold Coast Titans on a three-year deal.


GCSE results are being changed to grades 9 to 1, with the first such grades to be published this week. But there will be two different pass marks - grade 4 as a "standard" pass and grade 5 as a "strong" pass. Researchers say pupils need to be at grade 5 to match global rivals. The study from the Education Policy Institute says England's school system faces an "immense challenge" if it is going to match the levels of achievement in countries such as Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong and Japan. GCSEs in England are being made more challenging and will be decided by final exams rather than coursework, with the first results of these new-style GCSEs being published for English and maths this week. These will be graded from 9 to 1, with a grade 4 being counted as a "standard" pass, similar to a grade C. But the researchers say that on average pupils should be achieving a "strong" pass at grade 5, if England is going to keep up with international competitors. At present, the researchers say, only 40% of pupils in state schools have reached this "world-class standard". To keep up in maths, the study says, it would require an increase of over a third of pupils getting top grades and an average above grade 5. "The old C grade is not an adequate national aspiration if England wants to compete with top education nations," says David Laws, former Education Minister and executive chairman of the Education Policy Institute. "This analysis highlights the gulf between education outcomes in England and the performance of the world's best education nations," he said. "In certain subjects, such as maths, England needs both to significantly raise the number of top performers and almost halve the number of low performers if it is to compete with the world's best." Paul Whiteman, leader of the National Association of Head Teachers said: "This report shows that England's obsession with structural change, under a succession of governments, has had little impact on either standards or equity. "Policy makers have routinely pursued the wrong priorities," said Mr Whiteman. "The highest performing school systems are those that invest in their teachers and that respect and value education." Kevin Courtney, leader of the National Union of Teachers, said that even if the overall results at national level were kept in line with previous years, individual schools "will still experience volatility in their results". He warned that such volatility could have "unfair consequences". There have been warnings about confusion over having two pass grades - with universities using different versions of a pass in their entry requirements. Education Secretary Justine Greening had explained the plans for two pass grades to the education select committee earlier this year. "I want to provide certainty about how this new grading will work and, in particular, the consequences for individual pupils of achieving a grade 4 or grade 5," Ms Greening had written to the committee chairman. "Rather than reporting on the "good pass", we will instead distinguish between a grade 4 as a

Summary: Pass marks for GCSEs in England need to be pushed upwards to catch up with high performing education systems in Asia, say researchers from the Education Policy Institute.


The Shadow Man, and a Christmas poem called Noel, were found at Our Lady's School, Abingdon. It is thought Tolkien got to know the school while he was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University. The poems were printed a year before Tolkien's first literary sensation The Hobbit was published. The Shadow Man is an earlier version of a poem eventually published in 1962 in Tolkien's Adventures of Tom Bombadil collection. The existence of the poems came to light after American Tolkien scholar Wayne G. Hammond got in touch with the school. He knew from notes made by Tolkien that two of his poems appeared in a magazine he called The Abingdon Chronicle. This was actually the 1936 annual of Our Lady's School, which was then run by the Sisters of Mercy. School principal Stephen Oliver said: "At first we couldn't find the 1936 edition and referred Mr Hammond to the archives of the Sisters of Mercy in London. "Then, while preparing for an event for former pupils of the school, we uncovered our own copy and I saw the two poems Mr Hammond had been looking for. " The school hopes to put the annual on display at a future exhibition.

Summary: Two poems by author JRR Tolkien have been discovered in a 1936 copy of a school annual.


Unite union members based at plants in Cowley, Goodwood, near Chichester, Hams Hall in the West Midlands and Swindon, turned down the offer by 56.6%. Workers have already staged four walkouts during the dispute, which is over the closure of a final-salary pension scheme. BMW said the offer was "fair" and it was disappointed at the ballot result. Unite representatives will meet on Tuesday to discuss the next steps in the dispute, which has seen the first-ever strikes by the company's British employees. Three 24-hour strikes scheduled in May were suspended while workers considered the offer, which the union did not recommend to its members. Unite national officer Fred Hanna said: "It is clear that it did not go far enough or deal with the concerns many of our members have over BMW's pension plans. "We would urge BMW bosses to reflect on the result and listen to the workforce by further engaging in meaningful talks with Unite." A BMW spokesman said: "We are now considering the implications of the ballot result and we will be meeting with the union in due course to discuss next steps. "We believe the offer, which resulted from lengthy negotiations with the union since September last year, was fair. "It was designed to improve competitiveness, which is in the long-term interests of all our employees in the future."

Summary: Workers at car giant BMW have voted to reject an offer aimed at resolving a long-running dispute over pensions.


The plane was heading from Heathrow to Dubai on Thursday - a seven-hour flight. Abhishek Sachdev, who was on board tweeted: "Insane. Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet". He told a newspaper: "The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd. "About 10 minutes later he said 'You may have noticed there's a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets'. "He said it was liquid faecal excrement. Those are the words he used." The plane had been airborne for just 30 minutes when it turned round. The next available flight was 15 hours later, so passengers had to be put up in a hotel overnight. Speaking to Radio 1's Greg James, Sarah, who works for the airline said: "When you're up at that altitude the cabin has to be pressurised so the problem is that anything like that is actually a health and safety problem because only 50 percent of the air is being recycled and cleaned". In a statement, BA says "A decision was taken to return for the safety and comfort of our customers on board. "We're very sorry for the discomfort to our customers. "We provided them with hotel accommodation and rescheduled the flight to depart the next day." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube

Summary: A British Airways flight was forced to turn around because of a "smelly poo".


The Common dolphin was discovered on the high water line at Gyllingvase near Falmouth early on Wednesday. Members of British Divers Marine Life Rescue covered the animal with wet towels and seaweed to keep it comfortable. A vet who was called to the scene assessed that it was too sick to be returned to the sea. There have been 41 strandings of Common dolphins in Cornwall in the past year according to figures from the Marine Strandings Network. Almost 3,500 whales, dolphins and porpoises have been stranded on UK coastlines over the six years up to December 2011, according to the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). Overall it recorded a fall in the number of strandings but said that some still were not being reported. The Society has launched a campaign to encourage the public to tell them when they find beached mammals.

Summary: A dolphin found stranded on a Cornish beach has been put down, say marine rescuers.


The pro-Rouhani reformist group Omid (Hope) won all 21 seats, ousting their conservative rivals who had been in power for 14 years. Mr Rouhani won Friday's presidential election in the first round. He promised voters a moderate and outward-looking Iran and criticised the conservative-dominated judiciary. Council elections were held alongside the presidential vote and the results were announced on Sunday. The new city council must convene within 45 days when it will elect a new mayor to oversee services for Tehran's nine million residents. Incumbent Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf was a candidate in the early stages of the presidential election but dropped out to back hardliner Ebrahim Raisi. Mr Raisi only received 38.5% of the vote, which was not enough to take the election to a second round. President Rouhani, 68, said his resounding victory showed that voters rejected extremism and wanted more links with the outside world. Analysts say he is in a strong position to seek reforms and to revive Iran's ailing economy. After his re-election there were celebrations in the capital, Tehran, with crowds of young people singing and dancing in the central Vali Asr Square. In his first speech after the result was announced Mr Rouhani said: "The Iranian nation has chosen the path of interaction with the world, a path which is distant from extremism and violence." Mr Rouhani supports the landmark deal with world powers to curb Iran's nuclear programme.

Summary: Iran's re-elected moderate President Hassan Rouhani has received a further boost after reformists won key council elections in the capital, Tehran.


Kylle Godfrey is subject to a Criminal Behaviour Order which means he must tell police of any relationship lasting more than 14 days. Shira told the BBC she hoped it would make him "think twice before getting into a relationship". Godfrey, 30, is currently serving a three-year prison sentence. It is believed to be the first time in England and Wales such an order has been made. Shira - who did not want to disclose her full name - told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme the abuse started shortly after they met in 2011. "The first incident was a few months after we met and it started over the phone. I thought he was being overprotective but he was really being jealous. "He was constantly checking on me on the phone, being paranoid and accusing me of things all the time." Over time, she said, Godfrey became "more and more" violent. "I went through hell with him physically, mentally and emotionally, and now I can see I risked my life with him." On one occasion she remembers him "smashing my head on the floor four or five times". "I thought 'I'm going to die.' "I just had a little pray, and I realised no-one deserves to be in that position. My life is more important than this." Godfrey's Criminal Behaviour Order - which lasts for seven years - also allows police to inform future partners of his previous violent behaviour to women, under the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme. Shira said the order "makes me feel more safe, and other women will be protected". "Instead of us women trying to prevent them [from being abusive], they have to go away from us." "The emphasis is on the perpetrator, not the victim." Shira said she now hopes Godfrey "will think twice before getting into a relationship". "It's also good for me and my children, this order, as it will help us know where he is and what he's doing - to protect ourselves." Godfrey could be jailed if he breaches the terms of the order. He was jailed on 14 February after admitting to two counts of actual bodily harm, perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation. A court heard how over several days in October last year, he attacked his ex-partner, banging her head on the floor and grabbing her around the throat. Following his arrest, Godfrey continued to intimidate the woman and, while on bail, assaulted another woman he had started a new relationship with. Shira said she felt "relief" at the sentencing. "Now I can just concentrate on just moving on. "No-one deserves to [suffer] domestic violence… especially women with children." Detective Inspector Jane Topping, of the Met Police's Hackney Community Safety Unit, said the order "gives us a new way of protecting victims of domestic abuse and prevent other women from suffering at the hands of people like Godfrey, and help our efforts to tackle domestic violence". "The victim in Godfrey's case was subjected to a horrendous ordeal by him following a sustained campaign of domestic violence. She has

Summary: A woman whose abusive ex-partner has become subject to a landmark police order has said it will keep her family and other women safe.


Business and political circles in Switzerland had supported the plan, which was designed to prevent taxes rising sharply for foreign investors. However 59% of voters opposed the plan in Sunday's referendum vote. The government will now need to find an alternative, which may involve higher tax rates for multinational companies. "It will not be possible to find a solution overnight," said Ueli Maurer, Switzerland's finance minister. He told a press conference it could take a year to come up with a new plan, and that Switzerland risked losing foreign investment as a result. Currently Switzerland grants special status to foreign firms which allows cantons, or districts, to offer them lower rates of tax than domestic firms, making Switzerland an attractive destination for foreign investors. But international organisations such as the OECD have deemed the system unacceptable and Switzerland has made a commitment to reform it by 2019. To avoid raising taxes for multinational companies too sharply the government had agreed to abolish the special status for multinationals but instead offer new tax breaks for research and development and other activities. As part of the proposal, Switzerland's cantons planned to lower their tax rates for businesses across the board, including domestic business, helping to avoid steep rises in tax bills when foreign firms' status was brought into line. Some of the resulting budget shortfall in the cantons would have been plugged by federal funds. But the plan was opposed by Social Democrats, Greens, trade unions and churches who argued that the reduced tax revenue would still lead to cuts in public services or higher personal taxes. "The conservative parties wanted to push through tax reform with arrogance and haughtiness against the interests of the people. The Greens demand a new proposal with a sense of proportion," the opposition leftist party said of the vote.

Summary: Swiss voters have rejected a plan to reform the country's corporate tax system, sending the government back to the drawing board.


How much wealth your parents have is likely to matter more than it did for older generations. Here's why. It used to be the case that young adults could expect to start their working lives with higher incomes than those born earlier. This is because incomes normally rise over time, as the economy grows. Then we had the financial crisis of 2008. The upshot is that today's young adults are the first generation since at least World War Two not to start their working lives with higher incomes than those born before them. For example, someone born in the 1980s could expect a household income of £27,000 at the age of 28, compared with £28,000 for those born in the 1970s. The figure was £21,000 for those born in the 1960s and £15,000 for those born in the 1950s. Despite having about the same income, those born in the early 1980s are much less wealthy than those born in the 1970s were at the same age. By their early thirties, the 1980s generation had accumulated wealth of about £27,000 each, on average. By the time they had reached the same age, the 1970s generation had twice as much wealth on average - £53,000 each. A large part of the explanation is that an individual's wealth is mainly made up of property and pensions - and younger adults are faring well with neither. At the age of 30, 40% of people born in the early 1980s were owner-occupiers, down from 55% of those born in the 1970s. Home ownership rates were higher still among earlier generations, with six out of 10 people born in the 50s and 60s owning their own homes at the age of 30. Similarly, the Local Government Association reported in December that just 20% of those aged 25 own their own property, compared with 46% two decades ago. The lower home ownership rate doesn't just explain why young adults have lower wealth now. It also means they are likely to be poorer as they get older, because fewer of them will benefit from future increases in house prices. In their late twenties, renters born in the early 1980s were spending 28% of their income on housing costs. At the same age, those born in the 1960s were spending 22% of their income on rent. Those born in the 1950s spent 13% and those in the 1940s just 10%. Part of the rising costs of renting is explained by the decline of social housing. For today's renters, it seems likely that raising a deposit is a greater barrier to home ownership than actually paying a mortgage. Lower interest rates mean housing costs for young homeowners have fallen and they are quite likely to be paying much less than renters relative to their incomes. Mortgage interest costs for homeowners born in the early 1980s amounted to just 15% of income. Of course, the low interest rates that have benefitted homeowners are themselves likely to be one of the factors pushing up house prices. The vast majority of young adults working in

Summary: From unattainable house prices to disappointing pay rises, the financial challenges faced by young adults can seem daunting.


Nonsuch Palace was painted by the Flemish artist Joris Hoefnagel in 1568. Culture Minister Ed Vaizey has placed a temporary export bar on the watercolour in the hope a UK buyer can match the asking price of £1m. "We have very few paintings of the palace so I really hope we can find a buyer to keep this masterpiece here in Britain," he said. The piece is the oldest of six remaining depictions of the palace, considered to be one of the Renaissance period's most stunning buildings. Nonsuch Palace - named because no other palace could equal it - was built in 1538 for the Tudor king to celebrate the birth of his first legitimate son and mark his 30th year on the throne, It was intended to rival the opulent residences of French king Francis I. In 1670 Charles II gave the palace to his mistress, Barbara Villiers, who began to dismantle and sell parts of the building to pay off gambling debts. By 1690 the building had all but disappeared. The painting went for auction in 2010 but failed to meet its reserve price of £1.2m. The decision to defer the export licence follows a recommendation by the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA), administered by Arts Council England. They made their recommendation on the grounds of its close association with our history and national life, its outstanding aesthetic importance and its outstanding significance for understanding the nature of English Renaissance architecture. The decision on the export licence application for the watercolour will be deferred until 31 May.

Summary: The earliest depiction of Henry VIII's "lost" palace in Surrey could leave the UK unless a buyer comes forward.


They will be joined at next year's Olympics by South Africa who defeated Equatorial Guinea in Bata 1-0. It is the first time that any Zimbabwe team has qualified for a global football tournament. Rudo Neshamba's 8th minute goal was enough to send Zimbabwe to Brazil. It's a great achievement for us, I'm so happy I can't even explain how I'm feeling right now The result meant the tie finished level at 2-2 on aggregate, with Zimbabwe qualifying on the away-goals rule. It was disappointment for Cameroon who represented Africa at the Women's World Cup in Canada, reaching the second round. Neshamba (pictured) was again Zimbabwe's match-winner, having scored their crucial away-goal in the first leg in Yaounde. Her captain, Felistas Muzongondi, said it was a famous day in their footballing history. "It's a great achievement for us, I'm so happy I can't even explain how I'm feeling right now," Muzongondi told BBC Sport. "This is our first time in history to beat Cameroon, and we were expecting this because we prepared very well." Zimbabwe's skipper also admitted it was a very tough match. "There was so much intensity so we had to put much pressure on them because they have so much more physical fitness than us." Zimbabwe booked their place in Rio despite severe financial difficulties facing football in their country. They were only able to continue in this qualifying tournament after Ivory Coast withdrew. Also on Sunday, South Africa defeated Equatorial Guinea 1-0 in Bata to win the tie by the same score on aggregate after the first leg had ended goal-less. Jermaine Seoposenwe's second half goal proved crucial for Banyana Banyana and was enough to win them their place in Rio. The South African Football Association (Safa) President, Dr Danny Jordaan congratulated Banyana Banyana for their achievement. "Today is a historic day for women football; not only have they qualified for the Rio Olympics but have done so in style - winning away from home in 'hostile' Bata environment," Jordaan said in a statement. "Few teams survive trips to Equatorial Guinea as Nigeria would attest but coach Vera Pauw plotted one of the greatest wins in South African football history," Jordaan added. South Africa's progress to the Olympics makes up for their disappointment of missing out on qualification for the Women's World Cup earlier this year.

Summary: Zimbabwe's women beat Cameroon 1-0 in the second leg of their final Olympic qualifier in Harare to book a place at Rio 2016.


Brett Rogers, 25, was jailed for a minimum sentence of 32 years last May. He had been found guilty by a jury of killing his mother Gillian Phillips, 54, and her friend 60-year-old David Oakes in 2015. Rogers, previously of Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, was found in his cell at HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire last Wednesday. Live: More news from Essex A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of compression to the neck. Gary Lindley, 41 and Billy White, 24, have been charged with his murder. They have been remanded in custody to appear at Worcester Crown Court on Tuesday. The jury at Rogers' trial was told how he was found at his mother's home in Bentfield Gardens, Stansted Mountfitchet, after the attacks, laughing and covered in blood. Mrs Phillips had been stabbed at least 41 times in the head, neck and torso. Mr Oakes suffered 56 wounds to his head, face and neck and died of severe head injuries.

Summary: A double murderer who killed his mother and her friend has been found strangled in his cell.


"In the history of betting, certainly since it was legalised in 1961, a [single event] winner with odds of 5,000-1 has never happened," says Simon Clare from the betting firm Coral. "Every bookmaker is crying out in pain. "That's a barometer of what Leicester have done and just how amazing this win is." Jessica Bridges from rival Ladbrokes agrees. "This is the biggest sporting upset of all time. We've all got a bit of egg on our face." Bookmakers have been cheering Leicester's success, whilst simultaneously putting their hands in their collective pockets. William Hill has paid out more than £20,000 to 39-year-old carpenter, Leigh Herbert. He was one of the canny few to take up the now-famous odds of 5,000-1 for his team to win. Although he has been a supporter since he was 10, he doesn't usually put his money where his heart is. But, mulling over their prospects on a camping holiday he found he was encouraged by the team's performance at the end of last season, and, taking a shine to the appointment of Claudio Ranieri as manager, he decided to put down the £5 bet for his team to win. "I thought, they're going to do something special this season," he says. "I really enjoyed the first half of the season, the second half just got harder and harder. "I would feel sick watching them play." Eventually, he cashed out £2 of his £5 bet, making £5,600, but left the £3 remainder in place, which eventually won him £15,000. A big party is in order this weekend - as well as house hunting with his new deposit. Bookmakers, like Coral, estimate the industry as a whole will have paid out around £20m over the title win. Coral themselves lost £2m. But bookmakers won't have lost out overall, admits Ladbrokes' Alex Donohue. Although Ladbrokes are losing £3m on Leicester this week, throughout the season a lot of bets were placed on the favourites, such as Chelsea and Manchester City, which will have more than cushioned the blow. "£3m is a record net payout for a title winner, but we did well out of Leicester upsetting the odds to get there. No complaints at all," he tweeted. Ladbrokes are "by no means crying out in pain" over the season in general, says Mr Donohue. Bookmakers do best when a second or third favourite team wins the title, he says. Title win an amazing feeling - Ranieri Leicester 'can make £150m from PL title' The greatest sporting story of all time? The wearable tech giving sports teams winning ways More importantly for bookmakers Leicester's win is a great story. The bookmakers were much slower than the punters to believe that Leicester could win the title. The problem was not so much the long odds at the start of the season, but the fact that they were so slow to respond to Leicester's success. At Christmas, when the Foxes were unbeaten for 10 games in a row, the odds were still quite high, in Coral's case they were still at 33-1

Summary: The betting industry is licking its financial wounds.


About 20 firefighters helped bring the fire under control at Thorpe Willoughby, near Selby, on Saturday night. It is not thought anyone was injured.

The tech-heavy index rose 68 points, or 1.3%, to 5,132.95 Meanwhile the Dow Jones closed up 180 points, or 1% to 18,115 while the S&P jumped 21 points, or 1%, to 2,121.22 As traders digested the Federal Reserve's statement from Wednesday, they were encouraged by its insistence that rates will only be increased gradually. "The Fed's likely to raise rates later this year, but maybe not as aggressively as some market participants worried," said Michael Baele, managing director and senior portfolio manager at US Bank Private Client Reserve. The Nasdaq closing high was more than 25 points above its last record on 27 May. On the economic front, new figures showing an uptick in inflation and fewer jobless claims sketched a picture of modest improvement. US consumer prices registered their largest increase in two years on higher oil prices. The CPI rose 0.4% in May, after a 0.1% rise in April. The US Labor Department said initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 267,000 for the week ending 13 June. It was the 15th consecutive week that claims held below 300,000, a threshold usually associated with a firming labour market. In corporate news, shares in Martha Stewart Living, which owns the Martha Stewart publishing and homeware brands, jumped more than 20% on reports that Sequential Brands was close to buying it. Another company to do well was Harley Davidson, which rose more than 4%, after UBS upgraded the company. On the downside, technology giant Oracle shares dived more than 4% as it reported disappointed net income for the quarter.

Summary: (Close): US stock markets rallied on Thursday with the Nasdaq closing at a record high.

The first bomb was found during an alert at Ramoan Drive on Saturday morning. A device found in the Glencolin Walk area of west Belfast later on Saturday has also been declared viable. There is another security alert in Ballygally in County Antrim. Both alerts in west Belfast have now ended. The alert in Glencolin Walk followed the discovery of a suspicious object. The Glen Road was closed between the junctions of Shaw's Road and Suffolk Road. Police are attending a security alert at a country park on the Coast Road, Ballygally, in County Antrim, following the discovery of a number of suspicious objects. There are no more details on that incident at this stage. On Friday, a bomb exploded under a prison officer's van in east Belfast. The device partially detonated when he drove over a speed ramp at Hillsborough Drive in Belfast, at 07:10 GMT.

Summary: Police have said two devices found in separate security alerts in west Belfast are viable.


Ben Purdy, 18, was shot in the head in Bermondsey after confronting his girlfriend's ex, Michael Bagnall, about "threatening" messages. Bagnall, 22, of Hospital Way, Lewisham, must serve at least 28 years. His uncle Andrew Bayne, 37, of Trundleys Terrace, Lewisham was sentenced to at least 30 years. During the trial at the Old Bailey, jurors heard that they both suffered from learning disabilities, but Judge Christopher Moss said they were still "able to organise and carry out this dreadful murder". As they were led from the dock, Bagnall launched into a tirade of abuse at the judge and shouted out "I'm glad he's dead" in the courtroom packed with Ben's family. In a statement, Ben's mother, Joanne Treston-Smith, said: "The void that Ben's death has left will never be filled. We will always have him missing in our lives." The court heard that the murder followed a feud between Michael Bagnall and the victim, who was going out with the Bagnall's ex-girlfriend. Bagnall was said to have resented the new relationship and sent the girl "threatening messages" by phone or Facebook. On the day of his murder, Ben Purdy decided to confront Bagnall, tracking him down in which led to a "skirmish" in Bermondsey, south London. After that encounter, the jury heard Bagnall and and his uncle Andrew Bayne decided Mr Purdy needed to be "taught a lesson". The pair armed themselves with a self loading pistol and an array of other weapons and got in a car to scour the streets for Mr Purdy and his friends. When they caught up with them, Bayne shot Mr Purdy in the head on 23 November 2014. He died in hospital the next day.

Summary: A man and his uncle have received life sentences after being found guilty of shooting dead a teenager in south London to "teach him a lesson".


He said William McNeilly's allegations were either factually incorrect or the result of misunderstanding or partial understanding. The Royal Navy submariner has claimed missile programme system on the Clyde was a "disaster waiting to happen". He wrote a report, detailing "serious security and safety breaches". In a statement addressing the 25-year-old's concerns, Mr Fallon insisted that neither the "operational effectiveness" of the fleet "nor the safety of our submariners or public have been compromised".

The 19-year-old, from Staffordshire, died on Wednesday after a four-year battle with the disease. Stephen's appeal in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust on his Just Giving page has now raised £3.7m. There are now plans to make a film about his life, using footage shot over the past 12 months. Film-maker Grigorij Richters, 26, from Hamburg, Germany, met Stephen at the Champions League final at Wembley in May 2013 and they became friends. The visit to Wembley was on the "bucket list" of 46 ambitions Stephen wanted to achieve before he died, along with raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. The pair agreed to film the bucket list together and he now has hours of footage, which he wants to use to tell Stephen's story. Mr Richters said Stephen was "a young man who did the inconceivable, the unbelievable, at a young age". At his former school, Chase Terrace Technology College in Burntwood, people have queued to sign a book of condolence and leave flowers. Tributes have also been written in chalk on pavements in Birmingham. Suggestions on social media that there should be a permanent memorial in the city will go before the Broad Street Walk of Stars committee in the summer. Mike Olley, the manager of Broad Street in Birmingham, where the stars are located said: "We are always happy to take suggestions for the Walk of Stars. "Many people have nominated Stephen now and I am delighted to put this before the committee."

Summary: An appeal started by the cancer fundraiser Stephen Sutton has raised a further £400,000 - only a day after the teenager died.


Alana Annette Savell, 32, was hosting a couple at her Panama City home when the visitors apparently became noisy. Police say she ordered them to go, before shooting the man and woman in the legs. The victims went to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Ms Savell has been charged with aggravated battery by a firearm. Bay County Sheriff's Office told the BBC the female victim had turned up with a male friend, whom she had just met in a bar, at the accused's home at around 01:00 local time on Monday. Ms Savell told police her hospitality began to wear thin after her guests began drinking and raising their voices. But instead of dropping a hint by yawning or loading the dishwasher, she armed herself with a 22-calibre handgun and shot at her guests' feet, officials said. As well as shooting the woman, Kristy Jo Mohr, in both legs in the incident, and her companion, who went by name "Cowboy", Ms Savell's own boyfriend was struck by a bullet in the leg. Ms Mohr told police she believed eight or nine shots were fired in total. Bay County Sheriff's Office said: "The victim (Ms Mohr) stated she felt herself get hit in the legs and ran away from the home and got into a vehicle. "Savell stated that the victim and her friend had come to her home to hang out and began drinking and getting too loud. "Savell stated she did not want them in her house and started shooting at their feet. "The suspect's boyfriend stated to investigators that he has told his girlfriend that once someone is told to leave their property three times, she is to go get the gun and shoot it at the ground. "If that does not work, she is to shoot people in the leg." Ms Savell remains in custody at the county jail.

Summary: A Florida woman opened fire on her house guests because they were "too loud" and had overstayed their welcome, police say.


Mr McMullin, the former chief policy director of the House Republican Conference, is expected to formally file his candidacy on Monday. He is likely to face challenges on ballot deadlines and fundraising just three months before Election Day. The 40-year-old Mormon has never held elected office. Mr McMullin, an outspoken critic of the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, released a statement to ABC News. "It's never too late to do the right thing, and America deserves much better than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton can offer us. I humbly offer myself as a leader who can give millions of disaffected Americans a conservative choice for President," Mr McMullin said. The little-known, unmarried conservative worked for the CIA for 11 years before leaving the agency in 2010. He later went to work for Goldman Sachs and became a senior adviser on national security for the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2013. Mr McMullin resigned from his position at the House Republican Conference on Monday, US media reported. The Utah native graduated from Brigham Young University and earned a master's of business administration from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, according to his LinkedIn page. He had just 135 Twitter follows when his pending candidacy was first announced and gained more than 12,000 within hours. Mr McMullin has voiced his opposition to Mr Trump on social media, calling him an "authoritarian" and denouncing the Republican nominee's attacks on the family of fallen Capt. Humayan Khan. In a Facebook post, Mr McMullin condemned Mr Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric, saying "attacking them as a group makes America weaker, not stronger". Mr McMullin joins third-party candidates Libertarian Party's Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein, who are also in the race for the White House. Mr McMullin faces a series of hurdles over the next three months, having already missed the deadlines to get on the ballot in 26 states. He will have to collect tens of thousands of signatures in the coming days to make the 10 August deadline for several more states. But the Morman candidate will have time to appear on the ballot in his native Utah, where Mr Trump is deeply unpopular among the Mormon electorate. Senator Ted Cruz overwhelmingly defeated Mr Trump in Utah during the primary election, taking 69% of the vote to 14%. Though Mr McMullin is not likely to appear on majority of state ballots across the country, he could block Mr Trump from taking the historically red state of Utah and peel off some of the billionaire's conservative voters. Mr McMullin will also have to chase millions of dollars in donations over the next few weeks in order to keep up with his opponents this fall. The group Better for America, which was formed by Never Trump conservatives, had been reportedly searching for an independent presidential candidate to put up against the nominee. The group has insisted key Republican donors would throw their support behind his candidacy, according to ABC News. Prominent Republican operative Rick Wilson is expected to help run Mr McMullin's campaign. Mr

Summary: Former CIA agent Evan McMullin has launched an independent campaign for the White House with support from members of the Never Trump movement.


Notices of intended prosecution claimed 991 drivers had broken a 40mph (64km/h) speed limit in Conwy tunnel last October. But the limit had been imposed for night maintenance only and not lifted in the morning as it should have been. Within days the drivers got an apology in the post. North Wales Police released the figures in a Freedom of Information reply. The force said: "The issue was caused by an administration error surrounding the enforcement period. "North Wales police do not record the cost of cancelling notices."

Summary: Nearly 1,000 drivers were wrongly sent speeding notices after a temporary limit on a north Wales road was not lifted, figures have shown.


Organisers said rain and ground conditions had caused delays and festival founder Michael Eavis has apologised. The festival's Twitter account said it was "open for business" but advised festival-goers to expect to queue. More than 100,000 people are due to descend on Worthy Farm for the event. Glastonbury gridlock: Latest updates In pictures: Glastonbury welcomes muddy arrivals The gates officially opened at 08:00 BST but people reported long queues to get on to the site. One ticket-holder told the BBC he had been in the queue for "about four and a half hours" and only moved half a mile. "We're trying to get in the campervan field but we're glad we've come today because we think it's going to be even worse tomorrow," he said. Glastonbury live album to be dedicated to Jo Cox MP Glastonbury 2016: Eleven acts to watch Glastonbury weather - latest BBC forecast Others took to social media to vent their frustrations, with Angela Gibbon tweeting: "7 hours in the queue now...so near yet so far away!". Steve Saunders posted a shot of the roadside saying: "This is a view of a hedge we've had for a hour. It's a beaut!" while Patrick Dear tweeted: "Talking about necessary survival plans now - which of us to eat first." Mike Ross said he had "never been on a roundabout long enough to take a nap before" and Moira tweeted that she had "been in this traffic for 12 hours, that's longer than any of my relationships". Mr Eavis said he was "sorry for the delay" but the problem was because "people were coming before the gates were open". "We did ask people to postpone their trip by about six or seven hours but instead of that - funnily enough - more people have come early this time," he said. "I don't mind them coming early but they're going to have to wait because we don't have the staff or the car parks until 8 o'clock in the morning." Festival organisers earlier advised people "not to set off" yet or "grab some essentials" for the journey. A temporary campervan and caravan holding site was set up at the Bath and West show ground near Shepton Mallet and festival-goers were advised to go there. Avon and Somerset Police said traffic was queuing on the A37, north and south of the A361 junctions, with further congestion around the A303. The force advised people to avoid the area "unless absolutely necessary". Somerset County Council said traffic heading to the festival had caused widespread disruption. It said a number of school buses had been caught up in the traffic, and were running late or not at all. Residents described the gridlocked roads as a "traffic disaster". Lorry driver Jason Barnes called the situation "absolute carnage" and said: "In six hours I've only driven 11 miles. I'm supposed to be working". Nigel White said the A39 through Ashcott was "virtually at a standstill" while Judith Templeman said "no other event would be allowed to cause this level of mayhem". "If they can't handle the influx

Summary: Glastonbury festival-goers have been stuck in queues of up to 12 hours as traffic chaos hit all major routes to the site.


Andrew Boyce's late equaliser had cancelled out Sido Jombati's delicate free-kick, but the home earned all three points in stoppage time. Wycombe defender Joe Jacobson's free-kick on 13 minutes drew a decent save from James McKeown. Garry Thompson had another good chance for the hosts on 50 minutes, but wastefully blazed his half-volley wide from 25 yards. Wycombe led five minutes later, though. Luke Summerfield brought down Jacobson on the edge of the box, and Jombati stepped up to place the ball beyond McKeown for the home side's first goal in 112 days. Cameron Dawson was forced into a sharp double save after 69 minutes, diving to his right to stop Summerfield's fierce shot, then saving Kayden Jackson's follow-up with his legs. Ten minutes later, though, Grimsby deservedly equalised when Boyce passed the ball beyond Dawson after Wycombe failed to clear a corner. But Stewart popped up to tap home from two yards after substitute Adebayo Akinfenwa's flick-on bounced off both posts for Wycombe's first points of the season.

Clifton, 18, spent the 2016-17 season on loan with Grantham Town in the Evo-Stik League Northern Premier division. He turned professional in July 2015 after coming through the academy, but is yet to play a game for the Mariners, who finished 14th this season. However, Clifton has earned a new deal after impressing manager Russell Slade, who replaced Marcus Bignot in April.

Summary: Midfielder Harry Clifton has signed a one-year contract extension with League Two side Grimsby Town.


The 19-year-old suffered the injury during the second half of Saturday's win at Swansea. "We're very disappointed, but that's football and that can happen," Koeman said. "It's unlucky but OK. "The boy has to keep going and it's difficult because he had a great start to the season, but it's part of the football and he will come back." Up until the injury, Ward-Prowse had played for Southampton in every fixture this season. Meanwhile, Koeman said that another young English player, Nathaniel Clyne, should be called up by the national side. The 23-year-old scored Southampton's second in their 2-1 win at Arsenal in the League Cup, with a brilliant 35-yard strike. "I think he's ready [to play for England]," Koeman said of Clyne, who has played at under-19 and under-21 level. "He has a lot of experience, he is playing very well from the beginning of the season. "He scored a great goal. I think his performance was very good and I think it's an option for the national coach and I'm very happy to have Clyney in our team because he brings a lot of experience. "He brings a lot of spirit and I like to have and play with offensive full-backs. He shows that quality and it's very important for the team."

Summary: Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse has been sidelined for 10 weeks with a fractured foot.


A child welfare agency and hospital in Pennsylvania have paid Elizabeth Mort $143,500 (Â£94,500) for the mistake. Her three-day old daughter, Isabella, was removed from her for five days in April 2010. The lawsuit argued that the opiate test in question had a far lower threshold than federal guidelines. Jameson Hospital failed to inform Ms Mort that she had failed the test, then reported it to Lawrence County children and youth services without a secondary test. "Elizabeth Mort never imagined that the last thing she ate before giving birth to her daughter - a poppy seed bagel - would lead to the loss of her newborn, but that is exactly what happened after the Jameson Health System failed to account for the possibility that her positive urine drug screen was due to her ingestion of poppy seeds," the lawsuit said. Child welfare officials arrived the day after the family returned from hospital with an emergency protective custody order and took Isabella. She was later returned after the agency could find no evidence Ms Mort had used illegal drugs. The lawsuit, which was filed on her behalf by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), was settled on Tuesday. ACLU officials said Jameson had changed its policy to ensure newborns were not taken from parents solely on the basis of maternal drug test results. "We hope that this case will encourage hospitals that routinely test pregnant women for drug use to reconsider that practice due to the harm that can result from false positives," said ACLU lawyer Sara Rose.

Summary: A US woman whose newborn was taken from her because she failed a hospital drug test after eating a poppy seed bagel has won a settlement, says her lawyer.


Off the court, where she makes the bulk of her earnings, the question is - can she be as big a sponsor draw as she was before her enforced absence? The 29-year-old will return to action on Wednesday, 26 April, in Stuttgart after being handed a wildcard. Although some fellow players have expressed misgivings, she has the support of the WTA tour, and her fans. And, with biggest commercial rival Serena Williams announcing she is pregnant and facing time away from the game, the Russian's return is certainly timely. In the year from June 2015, Forbes estimates the five-time Grand Slam winner made $1.9m (Â£1.5m) in prize money from playing, but a whopping $20m from endorsements, a sum matched only by Williams. And it is this primary source of earnings that Sharapova will be looking to reinvigorate. "During her time out there will have been some continued relationship with her sponsors," says Simon Chadwick, professor of sports enterprise at the University of Salford. "But I am sure there will have been some sort of penalty clause in her sponsor contracts for incurring a suspension." Following Sharapova's admission in March 2016 that she had tested positive for a banned drug at that year's Australian Open, she was initially banned by the International Tennis Federation for two years, later reduced on appeal. But unlike golfer Tiger Woods, who haemorrhaged sponsors very quickly after his extra-marital affairs came to light, Sharapova's backers waited to see how things played out. "That was because they had invested so much money and effort into their deals," says Prof Chadwick. "Also, to terminate deals could have been dangerous as she might come back successfully, and if you as a sponsor have decided to cancel her contract then the door has been left wide open for a rival." As it was the sponsor reaction was mixed - Head and Evian were immediately supportive, Nike and Porsche put their relationships on hold but later came back on board, while Tag Heuer and Avon chose not to extend deals that had ended. Given the large amounts of money and time invested - Nike's relationship with the player dates back to when she was 11 years old - it is not surprising the major brands wanted to think hard before reaching their decisions. "In terms of brands and reputation, what all this has highlighted is that first of all Sharapova is a major brand in her own right," says Karen Earl, chairman of the European Sponsorship Association. "She commands a lot of media attention, as the furore about her comeback demonstrates. It also highlights that she is a huge star, and that women's tennis feels it needs her. "That is one of the reasons why brands want to continue to associate with her. Those that stuck with her value the association of her brand with their brands." Mrs Earl says the fact that Sharapova immediately put her hand up and admitted the drugs breach helped mitigate the damage to her brand, and those of her partners. "Sharapova admitted she had done a wrong

Summary: Maria Sharapova faces the biggest challenge of her tennis career - namely her return to the sport after a 15-month drugs ban - and it is not just her continued sporting success that is in the spotlight.


Media playback is not supported on this device Inst led 6-3 at the break thanks to two Hume penalties while John Crowther slotted over a Campbell penalty. Campbell piled on the pressure in the second half but could not find a way through a resolute RBAI defence, even when Mark Keane was yellow-carded. Hume sprinted clear from deep in his own half to run in a try, which he converted in the game's final action. Campbell will rue missed opportunities during the St Patrick's Day decider in a sun-kissed Belfast. They dominated the latter stages of the first half and entire second period. Penalty opportunities were turned down in favour of going for a try but they were thwarted by handling errors and Inst defending. Campbell launched a final attack but Hume collected from a bouncing ball and raced away to seal a second straight Schools' Cup triumph. RBAI captain Conor Field said: "I can't describe my feelings after that but I am so proud of the boys. "Credit must go to Campbell as they put us under so much pressure although we defended strongly throughout the game. "To see James run clear to win it for us so late in the match was absolutely brilliant."

Summary: James Hume scored a late try as RBAI beat Campbell College 13-3 at Kingspan Stadium to retain the Schools' Cup.


It puts new, lower limits on the size of each country's nuclear arsenal, and updates the verification mechanism. There are limits on warheads and on launchers, which must be implemented within seven years of the treaty's entry into force. Warheads: Under the New Start treaty each side is allowed a maximum of 1,550 warheads. This is about 30% lower than the figure of 2,200 that each side was meant to reach by 2012 under the Start treaty (as revised in the 2002 Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty). Launchers: Each country is allowed, in total, no more than 700 deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and heavy bombers equipped for nuclear arms. Another 100 are allowed if they are not operationally deployed - for example, missiles removed from a sub undergoing a long-term overhaul. The new limit on delivery systems is less than half the ceiling of 1,600 specified in the original Start treaty. Not as dramatic as they might appear. The rules for counting warheads contain a big loophole. While each warhead on a ballistic missile is counted as one warhead, a heavy bomber is counted as carrying "one warhead" even though it may carry (in the case of a US B-52) up to 20 of them. According to the Arms Control Association, a pro-disarmament pressure group, the US could theoretically meet the new limits by cutting just 100 warheads, while Russia would only need to cut 190. In addition, the agreed ceilings refer to deployed warheads, not to warheads in storage. A warhead could, in theory, be put into storage, and then redeployed when needed. The cuts in launchers are also, in practice, not all that challenging. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists estimates that Russia currently has 566 - well under the permitted ceiling of 700. It estimates that the US has 798, necessitating a cut of about 12%. Supporters of the deal say that while it does not make big cuts, it is a useful confidence-building measure, which could pave the way for further nuclear deals with Russia. They say it also signals to the rest of the world that the US and Russia are not ignoring their commitment under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to progressively disarm. The important difference, according to the Arms Control Association, is that each side will now be able to carry out on-site inspections to verify how many warheads a missile is carrying. Together with satellite imagery, this should give an accurate picture of the other country's nuclear strength. Some other forms of verification will cease. Yes, it says that both sides can engage in "limited" missile defence. Russia has warned that it will withdraw from the treaty if a future US missile defence shield weakens its nuclear deterrent. The US Senate ratified it on 22 December, after much delay, so now all it needs is Russia's final approval. Russia's parliament, the Duma, is expected to ratify it - and the process may begin on 24 December. The US wants further cuts in strategic nuclear arms, but is also keen to negotiate a reduction

Summary: The New Start treaty, signed by the US and Russian presidents, replaces the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (Start), first proposed by US President Ronald Reagan in 1982 and signed in 1991, as the USSR sped towards collapse.


In April 2014 Jack Sexty completed the Greater Manchester Marathon on a pogo stick in 16 hours and 24 minutes. But earlier this month the course was found to be 380m too short and all timings for the 2013, 2014 and 2015 events were declared null and void. Guinness World Records said the record Mr Sexty set will no longer stand. "We would invite Jack to go for the record again in the future and we hope this won't deter him from breaking records in the future," a spokesman said. Mr Sexty, from Bristol, said he "wouldn't be losing any sleep" over the decision. He said in reality he believed he had done more than a marathon because of having to hop on and off pavements. "I have video of the event and if Guinness want to watch all 16 odd hours they are more than welcome. "I still have the record for the most distance bounced in 24 hours. That was the original record I was going for. "The only reason I had the fastest marathon record is because I'm the only person to have done it." Marathon courses are measured out using a bicycle fitted with a counter to calculate distance by the turning of the wheels. The Association of UK Course Measurers (AUKCM) said an accredited measurer had ridden the course in 2013 but indicated there had been an error in the calibration of the bicycle wheel. The mistake, caused by a measuring error, affected some 24,000 runners who competed in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Their timings are no longer recognised. A true marathon distance is 26 miles and 385 yards.

Summary: A student who bounced his way into the record books has been stripped of the accolade after it emerged a marathon route was too short.


The 32-year-old damaged knee ligaments in the at the end of December. "We're hoping I can feature in the pre-season block of games if all goes well," Sturgess said. I don't like sitting on the bench behind anybody so I definitely want to be fighting for the position "I'm 16 weeks post-op and I'm running and doing really good leg weights again and progressing next week to off-line running and upping the load a bit." Sturgess has had a difficult couple of seasons with injury, having missed a large chunk of the 2012-13 campaign Next season will be his eighth at Sandy Park after joining Exeter from Connacht in 2007. "One of the disappointing things about the injury is that I wasn't able to get the starting jersey back. "You're not guaranteed your place, but after previous seasons you may feel you're going into the next season holding the jersey," he said. "This season I definitely know I'm going in as second choice and will need a good pre-season and perform in the pre-season games to try to get my place back. "I don't like sitting on the bench behind anybody so I definitely want to be fighting for the position."

Summary: Exeter prop Brett Sturgess hopes to return to action in time for pre-season as he recovers from knee surgery.


Keepers at Drusillas Park in Alfriston could not work out why Sofia and male Tupee had failed to bond since being introduced to each other in 2011. Head keeper Mark Kenward said it was not easy to establish the sex of a sloth and medical records had shown Sofia was female when she arrived. "We are going to have to find a more suitable name for Sofia," he said. It is likely that either Tupee or Sofia will now be re-homed to another zoo, and another female introduced. Mr Kenward said: "We had never looked after sloths before and were relying on the information provided. "Unfortunately we cannot keep our two boys together and it would also be a waste of their breeding potential." After enlisting the help of Bristol Zoo, Mr Kenward said it all made "perfect sense" given the problems they had been experiencing with the animals.

Summary: A pair of sloths at an East Sussex zoo failed to breed after it emerged that they were both in fact males.


Sophie Burgess, who was 11 months old, had a seizure on 16 June last year. She was taken to St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey, and died after an overdose of the anti-seizure drug phenytoin. Surrey Police asked the Woking coroner to halt the inquest to allow officers to re-examine the case after fresh expert evidence emerged at the hearing. During the last two months of her life, Sophie suffered a series of seizures triggered by a reaction to infections. The inquest heard this week that Dr Lojein Hatahet and paediatric consultant Dr Fiona MacCarthy had attempted to administer the anti-seizure drug using an automated syringe-driver. It failed to work and it was decided Dr Hatahet would administer the drug from a handheld syringe, despite the protests of nurse Polly Leavold, who said the drug was not needed and that giving it by hand was against the hospital's protocol. A Surrey Police spokesman said the investigation into the circumstances of the baby's death would be re-examined "in light of new expert testimony presented at the coroner's court". "We are keeping an open mind, and it would be inappropriate to comment further."

Summary: An inquest has been suspended to allow police to reinvestigate the death of a baby girl who died after being given a fatal drug overdose in hospital.


The Roslea surgery closed last week, leaving the village without a doctor for the first time in 100 years. Several hundred people who attended the meeting were told that no doctors applied to take over the contract. Patients will now have to travel to the health centre in Lisnaskea. "It will have a very, very serious impact on me because we have a member of the family who isn't in very good health," said Rosemary Mulligan. "I have to go to the doctor a lot about this person and then have to go on a round trip of over 30 miles for any medication or anything I need." She added: "We had a lovely doctors and everything was going well and they were coming from Lisnaskea and we were happy enough and now its gone. We're angry and we're sad." Jimmy Flynn had a hip replacement in November said it was "a terrible mistake that we haven't got a surgery". "I'm 87 years of age and it's not a good idea for me to have to drive down to Lisnaskea. "We're hoping that this meeting will maybe entice somebody to come back here to Roslea." Ann Began said it will lead to increased waiting times for appointments. "You could be waiting three weeks if you want to see a particular doctor," she said. "I think it's terrible because the area goes right out to the border and old people are going to have to travel and they mightn't have transport. "Not everybody can drive. I just think it's awful." Representatives from the Health and Social Care Board said they had found it increasingly difficult to replace retiring GPs in rural practices, as doctors no longer want to work on their own. They said this contrasted to the situation 20 years ago when there were about 40 applicants for a GP post in the nearby village of Newtownbutler. Maple Health Care has taken over the patients of three single-handed practices in Roslea, Newtownbutler and Lisnaskea. Dr Sloan Harper, director of integrated care at the Health and Social Care Board, said the temporary model of a GP from Lisnaskea providing services in Roslea for part of the week was not sustainable in the long term. "It will mean some inconvenience, unfortunately, for a small number of patients living in the Roslea area and the board is disappointed that we haven't been able to continue that service," said Dr Harper. "The doctors working here are taking on a major change process, going from a practice of 8,500 to 14,500 patients, taking over three practices. "So it felt safer and more sustainable for them to work out of two sites, and so Newtownbutler - being the larger premises and having better car park arrangement - was felt to be doable. "To spread their medical and nursing workforce, its not just about a doctor going down there... it was felt that was too big a stretch and so we feel the current arrangement is the best option available." Dr John Porteous from Maple Health Care in Lisnaskea,

Summary: The long-term future of single-handed rural practices is "unsustainable", a public meeting to protest against the closure of a County Fermanagh GP surgery has been told.


The striker hammered home a low right-footed shot from 15 yards out after Byron Moore's pass across the box had created the opportunity. It proved the decisive moment of a low-key contest. Both goalkeepers made fine second-half saves, Oldham's Connor Ripley keeping out a stinging drive from Stuart Sinclair and Rovers' Joe Lumley diving to keep out a Lee Erwin volley. A drab first half featured nothing more than long-range efforts from both teams. Rovers midfielder Billy Bodin produced two of them, but on each occasion was denied by Ripley. Harrison also brought a save from Ripley, while - at the other end - Oldham's Tope Obadeyi fired straight at Lumley and as Erwin shot wide.
