Ex University of Bedfordshire academic Dr Theodora Dallas told jurors a man on assault charges at Luton Crown Court had previously been accused of rape. The trial in July 2011 was halted. Dallas, from Greece, said her grasp of English was sometimes "not that good". Three High Court judges sentenced the 34-year-old to six months in prison. She was told that she would serve three months in jail and be on licence for the remainder of the term. The judges refused Dallas permission to appeal to the Supreme Court. Lord Judge said Dallas had "deliberately disobeyed" the trial judge's instructions not to search the internet and added: "The damage to the administration of justice is obvious." He said: "Misuse of the internet by a juror is always a most serious irregularity and an effective custodial sentence is virtually inevitable." Her counsel Charles Parry had made a plea to the court to be merciful and impose a suspended sentence, but Lord Judge rejected this. He said there was "no sufficient basis" for suspension. She had said earlier in a written statement: "I had no intention at all to prejudice the jury in any way. I had no intention to disobey what the judge said." At a hearing last Thursday, Attorney General Dominic Grieve told Lord Judge, Lady Justice Hallett and Mr Justice Openshaw that Dallas had impeded the administration of justice and was in contempt. But the academic, who has resigned from her post, told the judges: "I did not understand that I could make no search on the internet. "I really apologise. I never thought it would cause such disruption." Lord Judge said Dallas was guilty of "contempt of the jury and the jury system... to the criminal standard". "In the long run, any system which allows itself to be treated with contempt faces extinction. "That is a possibility we cannot countenance." Dallas came to England from Greece at the age of 19 and was "a woman of positive good character and we acknowledge her achievements thus far in her relatively young life," the judge said. "She has now put her academic career into jeopardy." But nothing had been said in mitigation that convinced the court she should be spared an immediate jail sentence, the judge said. He had "no doubt" that Dallas knew "perfectly well" the trial judge had directed members of the jury not to seek information from the internet but "deliberately disobeyed the order". "She did not merely risk prejudice to the due administration of justice, but she caused prejudice to it. "The time of the other members of the jury was wasted and the public was put to additional unnecessary expense." Dallas had been a psychology lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire, which has its main campus in Luton. The trial where the contempt was committed involved a man accused of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. A juror had told an usher that Dallas had carried out internet research while they were deliberating their verdict, flouting instructions by the trial judge. Dallas had revealed to jurors the

Summary: A juror who researched a defendant's past on the internet and shared the information with fellow jury members has been jailed for contempt of court.


Canos gave Brentford the lead after 18 minutes, firing home from the edge of the box from Ryan Woods' pass. It was 2-0 before half-time as Vibe scored his ninth goal in 12 league games with a looped header over City goalkeeper Frank Fielding. The defeat sees the Robins drop to 21st place, a point above the relegation zone, while Brentford move up to 12th. Lee Johnson's side had moved up to 19th place thanks to back-to-back wins over Wigan and Huddersfield, but Burton's 1-0 win over the Terriers and Nottingham Forest's 1-1 draw with Preston saw them lose ground in the battle to beat the drop. Led by the in-form attacking trio of Canos, Vibe and Jota, Dean Smith's Brentford have now won five of their past eight Championship matches. They could have gone ahead after just two minutes when Romaine Sawyers stung Fielding's hands with a swerving 25-yard drive. However, City nearly took the lead themselves, with Aden Flint's close-range header going wide before Daniel Bentley saved well from his own captain Harlee Dean. Brentford took control of the match in an eight-minute spell, with Canos finding the net with an angled drive before Vibe reacted quickest to Konstantin Kerschbaumer's flicked lob to double the home side's lead. Robins striker Bobby Reid struck the side-netting and Matty Taylor drilled wide with the goal gaping late on, but City failed to score for the first time in four games. Brentford manager Dean Smith told BBC Radio London: "I thought for 70 minutes today we were excellent and played some great football. "First half we were in complete control and deserved the two goals and should have had more - we had a goal disallowed from a corner when there was nothing wrong with it. "I saw Bristol City beat Huddersfield. We had to be good and I thought we were." Bristol City manager Lee Johnson: "Second half we created more but we didn't start anywhere near well enough, and that's disappointing. We simply can't start like that and expect to go and win games." "The way we've been playing I just didn't see this coming. It's so frustrating because you know we have quality in the team but we didn't hold the ball upfront, our defenders were too deep and I felt sorry for the lads in the middle. "Once we retained the ball and changed shape at half time we got better, but by then poor defending had left us with too much too do." Match ends, Brentford 2, Bristol City 0. Second Half ends, Brentford 2, Bristol City 0. Offside, Bristol City. Frank Fielding tries a through ball, but Callum O'Dowda is caught offside. Corner, Bristol City. Conceded by Rico Henry. Romaine Sawyers (Brentford) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Foul by Lee Tomlin (Bristol City). Daniel Bentley (Brentford) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Foul by Matty Taylor (Bristol City). Attempt saved. Bailey Wright (Bristol City) header from the centre of the box is saved in the top centre of the goal. Corner, Bristol

Summary: Goals from Sergi Canos and Lasse Vibe helped Brentford end Bristol City's four-game unbeaten streak.


The body of another worker caught up in Friday's fire at Wood Flour Mills, near Macclesfield, was found on Sunday. All four were believed to be working in the upper floors of the mill on Friday when an explosion and fire reduced the four-storey building to rubble. Firefighters have warned it may "take a long time" to complete the search. A search team is excavating the 5m x 5m (16ft x 16ft) area where the body - which has not yet been identified - was found. The families of Derek Moore, 62, Dorothy Bailey, 62, Jason Shingler, 38, and William Barks, 51, were all informed when the body was found, and continue to be updated and supported by police officers. Another woman is in hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Two other men remain in hospital in a stable condition and another man has been discharged with minor injuries. In a statement, the site owner - Wood Treatment Ltd - said it was "shocked and saddened" by the blast in Bosley. The police are conducting a joint investigation with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The site, which manufactures wood flour used for making laminate flooring, was also struck by fires in 2010 and 2012.

Summary: The search and recovery mission to find three people still missing after an explosion at a Cheshire wood processing plant has entered a fifth day.


Ronan O'Mahony and James Cronin both notched two tries with Tommy O'Donnell and the Scannell brothers Niall and Rory also touching down for Munster. Derick Minnie scored a first-half try for Zebre as Munster led 24-7 at the break with Lloyd Greeff also scoring for the Pro12's bottom club in Parma. The Italian club have lost 16 of their 17 Pro12 matches this season. Ireland hooker Niall Scannell finished off a maul to open Munster's account in the third minute before his fellow international O'Donnell extended the lead on 18 minutes. After wing O'Mahony's first try, Minnie replied for Zebre on the half-hour mark before a Tyler Bleyendaal penalty left Munster 17 points clear at half-time. Munster centre Scannell joined his older brother on the scoreboard with the first try of the second half to ensure his side a bonus point, before O'Mahony secured his brace after Marcello Violi was sin-binned for the hosts. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Zebre reduced the deficit to 12 points through a converted try from South African Greeff with just under 25 minutes to play. But Munster quickly reasserted their authority as prop Cronin marked his comeback from injury with two tries in the final 20 minutes, both converted by Rory Scannell. Zebre: D Berryman; K Van Zyl, T Boni, T Castello, L Greeff; S Bordoli, M Violi; B Postiglioni, O Fabiana, B Le Roux; G Koegelenberg, V Bernabo (capt); M Mbanda, J Meyer, D Minnie. Replacements: S Tobias, A De Marchi, G Roan, J Furno, F Ruzza, C Engelbrecht, M Pratichetti, G Palazzani. Munster: A Conway; D Sweetnam, J Taute, R Scannell, R O'Mahony; T Bleyendaal, D Williams; D Kilcoyne, N Scannell, J Ryan; D O'Callaghan, B Holland (capt); P O'Mahony, T O'Donnell, J O'Donoghue. Replacements: R Marshall, J Cronin, S Archer, D O'Shea, C Oliver, A Lloyd, D Johnston, D Goggin.

Summary: Munster continued their march towards the Pro12 play-offs as they earned a 50-14 bonus-point away win over Zebre.


After the final with Wycombe in 2015 ended 1-1, the defender smashed home a penalty to help Southend to victory. "It was my Stuart Pearce moment from Euro 96. He was one of my heroes growing up," said the 37-year-old. "To come back to Southend, the club I'd supported as a boy, and finish it in that way was a dream come true." Barrett played 354 games in two spells with the club, the last against Stevenage in the EFL Trophy in November. The former Bristol Rovers and Gillingham defender was a member of the Shrimpers' side that won back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship in 2005 and 2006, as well as the promotion in 2015. "I'd never played at Wembley, I'd played at the Millennium Stadium a couple of times while Wembley was being rebuilt and I worried I'd missed my chance," he told BBC Sport. "But to go to Wembley with Southend (against Wycombe), and the way we won it - Joe Pigott scored with 20 seconds to go to take it to penalties. "I took a penalty, put my foot through it and smashed it in the roof of the net. To have all my family there, it was the cherry on the cake of my career." Barrett admitted he has been contemplating his future for the past 12 months, especially having "always been a starter" but finding himself out of the team. "I still feel I've got more in me and could have carried on but it just felt the right time," he said. "I'm extremely privileged to play over 700 career games, in successful teams and I've got lots of great memories. "But unfortunately it comes to an end for all of us and this is my time." Barrett hopes to take his playing experience into coaching, adding: "That's where I see my future, maybe management one day. "I've had a few offers, but I'm just going to weigh my options. I'm completing my Uefa A licence at the moment and hopefully a good opportunity comes up for me."

Summary: Adam Barrett says helping Southend United win promotion via the League Two play-offs was the standout moment of his career, after retiring on Monday.


Det Sgt Craig Warren told a jury at the High Court in Glasgow he was sent to the Glasgow home of Scottish Sun journalist Russell Findlay. He saw a jar on the floor of the hallway and splash marks on a dado rail and wall mirror. William Burns, 56, and Alexander Porter, 48, deny throwing acid in the face of Mr Findlay on 23 December 2015. They also deny a charge of attempted murder in connection with the shooting of a man near an East Dunbartonshire primary school. Det Sgt Warren said he arrived at Mr Findlay's home about an hour after the alleged attack. One of the accused, William Burns, had already been detained and taken away from the scene. The substance he found in the hallway, he told the court, was found to be sulphuric acid. He also described items he found in the driveway of Mr Findlay's home. They were "what appeared to be two layers of false teeth, a beanie hat, a snood and a knife". The knife was found near the threshold of the front door. Mr Warren said that his focus then turned to how Mr Burns might have got to the scene, and how he might have got away. He confirmed to the Advocate Depute Richard Goddard that officers searched CCTV footage from the day of the alleged attack, and also preceding days, to try to establish if the accused had carried out a reconnaissance of the area. Footage from cameras in Crow Rd, and next to Jordanhill school on Chamberlain Rd was shown to the jury. On three separate dates, Mr Warren said a Volvo was seen near Mr Findlay's home - including driving away from the crime scene on the day of the alleged attack, two minutes after Mr Burns had been detained. The detective described it in court as "yellow or gold". The jury had already heard that Alexander Porter had a gold-coloured Volvo S40 in 2015. On the 28th January Police Scotland executed a search warrant at the home of Alexander Porter, and detained him. During subsequent questioning, the accused replied "no comment" to all questions put to him. Under cross-examination by Susan Duff, defence counsel for Mr Porter, Mr Warren said that 16.5 hours of CCTV footage was examined. But neither the registration number or actual colour of the Volvo was identifiable, nor was the number of occupants in the car. Susan Duff also queried the officer's assertion that he knew the Jordanhill area of the city well, pointing out he had called Woodend Drive "Woodend Road". During the search of Mr Porter's flat, Mr Warren said 16 items were retrieved from kitchen drawers - none of which was a knife. The case continues.

Summary: A court has heard traces of sulphuric acid were found at the scene of an alleged attack on a journalist.


In Bucharest some protesters broke through police lines and headed towards government buildings. Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu says the move would ease overcrowding in prisons. His critics say he is trying to release allies convicted of corruption. They also want the proposals to be debated in parliament. Mr Grindeanu's plan is for the measures to be implemented through emergency decrees that bypass parliament and do not require the signature of President Klaus Iohannis. Those who would be due for release include several elected officials and magistrates convicted of corruption. President Iohannis joined protesters in Bucharest on Sunday, saying they were rightly indignant. "Several political officials who have judicial issues want to change the legislation and weaken the rule of law," he said. "It is unacceptable to modify the law so that the cases of dozens, even hundreds, of politicians, are wiped out." President Iohannis was elected in November 2014 and has vowed to stamp out entrenched corruption. However, the chairman of the ruling Social Democrats, Liviu Dragnea, accused the president of "inciting social disorder and violence" and said the protest was the start of a coup. A former minister, Mr Dragnea was himself given a suspended prison sentence in 2015 for using bribes and forged ballot papers to influence an impeachment vote in 2012 against then President Traian Basescu.

Summary: Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of the Romanian capital Bucharest and other cities in protest at government plans to release around 3,000 prisoners.


James Holmes, 27, has admitted the killings, but pleaded not guilty on grounds of insanity. Mr Holmes opened fire during the midnight premiere of a Batman film in Aurora, Colorado, in July 2012. Officials say he was wearing body armour, threw smoke canisters and shot at people trying to escape. If the jury finds him not guilty on grounds of insanity, he will spend the rest of his life in a mental institution for the criminally insane. Otherwise he faces the death penalty. During opening statements on Monday, District Attorney George Brauchler said both mental health evaluators agreed on Mr Holmes' mental state at the time of the attack. "Both of them said the same thing - that the guy was sane when he tried to murder all those people in the theatre," he said. Prosecutors have argued the attack was clearly premeditated, with Mr Holmes planning and amassing weapons for months, as well as elaborately booby-trapping his apartment to kill anyone who tried to enter. His parents wrote a letter to the Denver Post in December calling for his life to the spared. Robert and Arlene Holmes said their son was "not a monster", but suffers from severe mental illness. The trial comes after two and a half years of complicated legal questions related to the death penalty and the insanity plea, and after nearly three months of jury selection. The mental health evaluations could be a key factor. Judge Carlos Samour ordered a second mental health exam after prosecutors said the first one was biased. Defence lawyers objected to a second test. At the time of the shooting, Mr Holmes was a graduate student in neuroscience at the University of Colorado in Denver, but was withdrawing from his studies after failing a key exam. When he was arrested, Mr Holmes' hair had been dyed red in an apparent reference to the Joker, a Batman villain. He appeared dazed in his first court appearance, and cameras were banned from further hearings.

Summary: A Colorado man who shot and killed 12 people in a cinema in 2012 was found sane by two experts immediately following the attack, prosecutors say.


The Welsh government says the idea is "open for discussion" but cites the potential cost. It is part of plans to reform Wales's eight Community Health Councils (CHCs). The health minister wants to make membership more diverse but the Conservatives said she has spread confusion. There is currently one community council to shadow each local health board, except in Powys which has two. A 12-member Board of Community Health Councils was also set up in 2004 to advise CHCs and represent their views nationally. Health Minister Lesley Griffiths commissioned a report by Professor Marcus Longley from the University of Glamorgan's Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care. It recommends the next chair of the board should be appointed through the public appointments process for a four year term and suggests giving the chair the title "patients commissioner". There are already children's and older people's commissioners appointed in Wales. "This will place them alongside other key figures in Welsh public life whose role it is to 'speak truth to power' on behalf of important sections of the community whose interests might otherwise be neglected," it says. In a consultation document published on Wednesday, the Welsh government says changes could give the board a "stronger voice". "Whether his or her role extends to that of a Patient's Commissioner is open for discussion, not least over the cost, role and the need to change primary legislation," it says The consultation says Powys should be served by one CHC, but that its work should be divided between separate committees for the north and south of the county. It also calls on the Board of CHCs to produce a report by June next year suggesting ways to increase the diversity of councils. Ms Griffiths said: "As local health boards engage with communities on proposals for reconfiguration of health services, it is more important than ever that a broad range of people are involved in the work of CHCs. "I believe CHCs need to look to involve groups such as the unemployed, mothers with young children, and people with full time jobs. "They should also look at different ways of working so that people who find it difficult to attend meetings can participate." The consultation is open until 14 January. Earlier in the year Ms Griffiths was accused by the Welsh Conservatives of trying to "gagging" CHCs in a speech which said they "cannot be parochial". In its consultation, the Welsh government says the Board of CHCs should have the ability to "direct individual community health councils". For the Conservatives, party health spokesman Darren Millar AM said CHCs should be free to voice the views of local people who are concerned about plans to reconfigure hospital services. "I urge as many people as possible to take part in this consultation in order to make sure CHCs remain a pivotal part of healthcare in Wales," he said.

Summary: A patients' commissioner should be created as part of a shake-up of health watchdogs, a report by health economists suggests.


The retailer said its policy is for staff to speak in English to customers, irrespective of their native language. It comes after two staff members in Scotland were banned from speaking Polish to each other on their tea break. The store said it was to ensure all its staff and customers "felt comfortable". "It is Lidl UK company policy that staff speak in English to customers, irrespective of their native language," the company told the BBC Welsh-language website Cymru Fyw. "This is for the benefit of all our customers as well as our staff to ensure a comfortable environment where all feel included. "However, it goes without saying that our staff are able to assist a customer by conversing in their native tongue, if the customer is unable to speak any English." The Welsh Language Society (Cymdeithas yr Iaith) said the policy was "appalling". Its chairman, Jamie Bevan, added that "since the Welsh language bill was passed four years ago, it is illegal to stop staff from speaking to customers in Welsh". Welsh Language Commissioner Meri Huws said she will respond in due course. The Welsh government said: "The Welsh language has official status in Wales, and there are provisions in the Welsh language measure to protect people's freedom to use the language. "The Welsh language commissioner has the power to investigate any allegations of this and can produce reports for Welsh ministers to consider."

Summary: Staff at Lidl supermarkets are being stopped from speaking any language other than English in their UK stores - including Welsh.


A number of other people were also held as police raided nine offices and homes in north-eastern Catalonia. The arrests are part of an investigation into rights sales relating to Brazil, police sources say. Rosell was Barca president from 2010 to 2014, when he resigned following a Spanish court's decision to investigate the 2013 signing of Brazilian Neymar. In June 2016, Barcelona paid a fine of 5.5m euros (£4.7m) over the 25-year-old's move from Santos. The club was accused of tax fraud, which it denied. Rosell's wife was among those also arrested on Tuesday. Spanish newspaper El Confidencial reports the arrests are part of a joint operation between the Spanish police and the FBI, related to the United States-led investigation into corruption at Fifa. The investigations into alleged corruption at football's governing body began two years ago, and Swiss authorities raided a Zurich hotel where Fifa delegates were staying for their annual conference. Seven people were arrested in the raid, which was carried out on behalf of the United States Department of Justice. More arrests and indictments on corruption charges followed in subsequent days and scores of Fifa officials and associates have since been arrested in connection with the investigation. In March, Fifa passed on evidence from its internal inquiry to Swiss and US authorities.

Summary: Former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has been arrested as part of a money-laundering investigation.


More than a week ago around 1,000 members of the Guarani-Kaiowa community occupied ranches in the area. The leader was shot when farmers tried to retake an occupied farm on Saturday. In 2005 the Supreme Court declared that the area where the violence is taking place belonged to the Guarani. Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo travelled to the region with a high-level delegation, including the director-general of the Federal Police and the president of the government's Indian agency, to try to defuse the growing tension. Federal troops have also been sent there to restore order and police the area. They will remain for a month. The violence started when the Guarani-Kaiowa occupied five ranches on 22 August, taking hostages who were later released. The Guarani-Kaiowa been demanding the return of their ancestral lands which, they say, were stolen by ranchers. Brazil's constitution required the government to map out all indigenous territory and return it for their exclusive use by 1993, but the majority of Guarani lands remains in the hands of the ranchers. Many Guarani are forced to live in overcrowded reserves or in makeshift camps on the roadside where malnutrition, disease and suicide are high.

Summary: The Brazilian justice minister has condemned the killing of an indigenous leader who was shot during a land protest in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.


Angella Reid was the first woman and second African-American to serve in the position after a career in hospitality. "She is no longer employed here at the White House. We left on very good terms and we wish her the very best," said spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders. It is simply nothing more than the transition of staff, she added. According to the White House Historical Association, the chief usher's role includes overseeing "construction, maintenance, remodelling, food, as well as the administrative, fiscal and personnel functions". The Jamaican-born Ms Reid worked closely with the First Family and provided guidance on matters of furnishing, art, and decor, writes the Washington Post. She told the paper she had no comment to make about her departure. She was very close to the Obama family, the newspaper reports. "It gives me a sense of awe," she told CNN in 2016, "the fact that slaves built this house and I now work in this house as a leader, something out of my wildest dreams." Because the chief usher is not a political position, it is not compelled to change at the beginning of a new White House administration. Most stay on the job for at least a decade, and one was in his position for more than 30 years. Ms Reid was only the ninth since the start of the 20th Century, and leaves after six years.

Summary: The Trump administration has fired the White House chief usher, who is responsible for the management of the building and its staff.


Stanley Rangers RLFC said Evan Hawksworth was injured during a game on Sunday against Batley Boys. The club said: "It is with the deepest regret that Stanley Rangers announce the tragic passing of their under-14s player Evan Hawksworth. Evan's father, Gary Hawksworth, said: "Evan passed away playing the game he loved". Under-14s team coach, Steve Abrahams, informed Evan's team-mates and described him as "our great friend, team-mate and all-round good guy." Mr Hawksworth said: "He was never without a rugby ball in his hands. "This was a tragic freak accident and no-one is to blame." The club, with the RFL Benevolent Fund, has set up a crowdfunding page to support the family. It said it would continue fundraising whilst celebrating Evan's life. Events will take place at Stanley Rangers' ground on Friday. A message on Evan's Facebook page said: "It is with sincere regret that today Evan Hawksworth has had his life support machine turned off. "Words simply cannot portray the injustice of the loss of a charismatic, heart of a lion - tackle anything, be involved with everything, award winning young man". Castleford Tigers posted on Facebook: "All our thoughts tonight are with Stanley Rangers U14s. We are saddened to let you know that Evan Hawksworth passed away today after sustaining an injury on Sunday. It was a freak injury playing the game he loved."

Summary: A boy from Wakefield has died after a suffering a head injury in an under-14s rugby league match.


Walsall had to play most of the game a man down after Joe Edwards' 16th-minute sending-off, but Jason McCarthy gave them the lead nine minutes later and Etheridge kept Bolton at bay. Wanderers almost took the lead after 13 minutes but Jamie Proctor's looping header from a Chris Taylor cross clipped the bar. Edwards was shown a straight red card three minutes later for elbowing Taylor as the pair jumped. However, the 10 men of Walsall went in front after 25 minutes as Bolton keeper Mark Howard flapped at Kieron Morris's free-kick, allowing McCarthy to bundle home into an empty net. The away side almost levelled two minutes later but Lewis Buxton's header was cleared off the line by Andreas Makris. And as Bolton turned the screw in the second half, Etheridge made superb saves from two close-range David Wheater headers, a 20-yard Taylor drive and Proctor's 12-yard half-volley. To compound the visitors' misery, substitute Keshi Anderson - booked for entering the field of play prematurely on his introduction - was shown a second yellow for a stoppage-time foul on Scott Laird.

CAIR said Rose Hamid's eviction from the rally in South Carolina sent a "chilling message to American Muslims". Ms Hamid was removed after making a silent protest on Friday. Mr Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the US has been widely condemned. During the rally in the town of Rock Hill, Ms Hamid stood up wearing a T-shirt bearing the words: "Salam, I come in peace" - "Salam" is the Arabic word for peace. When she stood up, the crowd around her began chanting "Trump! Trump!" as they had reportedly been instructed to do in the event of any interruption, reports the BBC's Anthony Zurcher from Rock Hill. Ms Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant, was then told by a security officer that she had to leave. She was booed as she was escorted out. CAIR said that as well as apologising to Ms Hamid, Mr Trump should "make a clear statement that American Muslims are welcome as fellow citizens and as participants in the nation's political process". Mr Trump has yet to respond. At a Republican presidential forum in nearby Columbia, on Saturday morning, Ohio Governor John Kasich condemned the way the Trump crowd handled the protest. "We don't need to be shouting and booing and scaring somebody," Mr Kasich, who is competing against Mr Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, told the BBC. "This is not some high-school basketball game. We are all our brother's keeper." He added that the next US president must be willing to work with moderate Muslim nations. "That may not win me the Republican primary, but there's more to life than that," he added.

Summary: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has urged Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump to apologise to a Muslim protester ejected from one of his rallies.


Paul Drinkhall, Sam Walker and Liam Pitchford all beat higher-ranked players in Kuala Lumpur. The win means England lie joint-third in Group B, alongside Germany but behind Sweden and leaders France.

Samoa were beaten 78-0 by New Zealand at Eden Park following Wales' 24-6 over Tonga there last Friday. "They're a wounded animal really after their scoreline against the All Blacks," McBryde told BBC Wales Sport. "They were very competitive for the first 20 to 30 minutes of that match before falling away. I'm sure they'll want to set the record straight." "We know they'll be a different opposition on Friday night buoyed on by a home crowd." Wales arrived in Apia with just 27 players after Alex Cuthbert withdrew injured, while Kristian Dacey, Tomas Francis, Cory Hill and Gareth Davies joined up with the British and Irish Lions. Despite seeing his squad depleted McBryde is confident his young Welsh side will cope. "Yes we've lost four to the Lions and unfortunately Alex Cuthbert to injury, but what that does is make everybody realise there's an opportunity to get into that starting team," he said. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's brought us a bit tighter together and everybody realises there's more of an opportunity for them maybe. "There was a bit of edge in training and boys don't want to miss out on an opportunity and that makes for a very competitive environment and as a result the training was excellent." Samoa have a history of inflicting defeat on Wales having won their four of the nine matches between the countries. Wales are visiting for the first time since 1994, when they lost 34-9, and McBryde has warned his young Welsh side to expect a hostile reception. "They're very welcoming off the pitch but as previous experience has shown once they cross that white line they're a different animal so it's going to be a big challenge for us," he said. "We have to make sure too that we know we're here to play rugby on Friday and get the win. That's the aim, not just enjoy the sun. "They are difficult conditions in a hostile environment and not many people are giving us a chance so what better way to come out and show what you can do and make the most of the opportunity."

Summary: Coach Robin McBryde expects his Wales side to come up against a wounded Samoa side in Apia on Friday, June 23.


The people have spoken, and delivered a resounding "not sure". Unlike last time round, the policies, personalities and Parliamentary arithmetic do not allow for formation of a coalition government. Minority government could be the only answer. Since the end of the Second World War when his late Majesty King George VI asked Clem Attlee to form a government, there have been 18 general elections. Sixteen of these have produced a majority one party government. This tendency for a clear result has us rushing for the constitutional rule book when things are less than clear. In fact, despite Britain's unwritten constitution, the mechanics for forming a minority government are clear and a minority government is not without precedent, especially for voters in Scotland and Wales. Post-war Britain has seen three minority governments. After the inconclusive election of February 1974, Harold Wilson formed a minority Labour government. He had no intention, however, of making this a long term arrangement and in October of the same year, called a second election; where Labour secured a Commons majority of just three seats. The 'indecisive election' of February 1974 led to a minority Labour government under Harold Wilson and another general election in October. Watch: BBC News Timeliner - February 1974 Watch: BBC News Timeliner - October 1974 This tiny majority eventually led to Britain's second minority government. A by-election defeat and defections saw Labour lose its majority on the day Jim Callaghan took over as prime minister in April 1976. A short-lived deal with the Liberals came and went and in 1979, the government fell when Margaret Thatcher (supported by the SNP) tabled and won a "No Confidence" vote - ushering in 18 years of Conservative rule. This government, towards its end, would see Britain's third minority administration. In 1992 John Major secured a majority of 21 seats, but defections and by-election defeats saw the government enter minority status by November 1996. At Westminster, minority governments don't appear to have worked that well. Wilson tried it for eight months and went for a majority as soon as he could. The tail-end of the Callaghan and Major governments, cannot, even in the most generous of reviews, be regarded as halcyon days of good governance. However, the devolved assemblies in Scotland and Wales have both seen stable, full-term minority governments. Looking at Scotland, the SNP formed a minority government after the 2007 elections to the Scottish Parliament. Being in a minority, it wasn't able to get everything it wanted onto the Statute Book. Bills to enable a referendum on independence and to introduce a local income tax, were axed when it became clear that they had insufficient parliamentary support. Plans for a minimum price per unit of alcohol were also dropped. However, it went the full term, laws were enacted and all its budgets were passed with the support of the Scottish Conservatives. Alex Salmond went on to take majority control in 2011 and the party's continued electoral success could be the talk of this election. Nor are stable and effective minority governments unknown in Commonwealth countries that

Summary: It's Friday, 8 May, all the votes are counted and every constituency declared.


It's an event that regularly sees a torrent of corporate deals, and has played a key role as a marketplace for Britain's aerospace and defence firms. It is a showcase for a sector worth Â£55bn a year, the fifth-largest industry in the UK that employs 340,000 people. Indeed, the last show in 2014 saw a record $204bn (Â£157bn) worth of orders being placed. "Farnborough is a global shop window for the UK and Europe, for the entire world," Shaun Omerod, chief executive of Farnborough International, said ahead of this year's show, which starts on Monday. "It connects UK small and medium-sized companies - who ordinarily wouldn't get this access - to the global market." If Farnborough's own connection with flying starts in 1904 with the Army Balloon Factory and the first flight of an aeroplane in the UK (by the showman Samuel Cody in 1908), then the history of today's air show actually begins in suburban London. In a bid to sell their wares the Society of British Aircraft Constructors (SBAC) organised a one-day exhibition at the annual RAF flying display at Hendon in 1932. It was small by today's standards, with just 35 aircraft on display and only 16 companies taking part; this year there will be some 1,500 exhibitors. After the Second World War the event was initially held at Radlett, moving in 1948 to Farnborough, the home of the Royal Aircraft Establishment - responsible for researching and testing experimental designs. The show has been the stage for many of the high points of post-war aviation, from the wonderful to the whimsical, such as the Saunders Roe A1 flying boat jet fighter. First flown in 1947 at the show it was an heroic but ultimately flawed attempt to marry a long-range fighter with a flying boat. The idea was it wouldn't need to land on aircraft carriers as the Allies fought Japan across the Pacific Ocean, but the end of the war put paid to any use it might have had. The 1949 show saw the truly massive Bristol Brabazon, then the world's biggest airliner. It was designed to conquer the transatlantic air routes for Britain's aircraft industry. Driven by eight propellers it was so big that its construction was delayed while the runway at Bristol's Filton factory was extended so it could take off. Yet despite its size it only carried 100 passengers, and airlines thought it too big and expensive. Only one was ever built. The same event also saw the UK introduce the world's first jet airliner - the DH Comet. The Comet's pressurised cabin meant people could travel in comfort. It was a commercial success at first, yet the design hid a serious weakness. Its square window frames contributed to metal fatigue, which led to a series of fatal crashes within a couple of years. The entire fleet was grounded for four years while the flaws were ironed out and the aircraft strengthened. Later Comet models flew well - indeed the RAF used the Nimrod, a version of the Comet, until 2011 - but they were

Summary: Farnborough: a small town in southern England; the birthplace of aviation in the UK and home for almost 70 years of arguably the world's most important air show.


Yanic Wildschut went close early on for the Latics when he cut inside and drove a shot against the upright. Billy Clarke failed to make contact with Jamie Proctor's dangerous cross for the visitors after the interval. And Vuckic ensured Wigan would remain second in the table with a composed finish before Wildschut drove wide as he attempted to add a second. Defeat cost play-off hopefuls Bradford their place in the top six, with Yorkshire rivals Barnsley winning at Fleetwood. Media playback is not supported on this device Wigan manager Gary Caldwell told BBC Radio Manchester: "I think we were always the team on the front foot. They made it difficult for us. "I thought we kept going and showed great character, great belief in what we were doing, kept passing the ball and got our reward in the end."

Summary: Wigan extended their unbeaten run to 16 games as Haris Vuckic's goal gave them victory over Bradford City.


Their general election manifesto will also pledge to consider, after the allowance rise, increasing the National Insurance threshold to the same level. The £2,000 allowance rise by 2020 would be worth £400 a year to basic rate taxpayers, the party said. Labour said the Lib Dems should "come clean" about how they would fund it. The UK Personal Allowance - the amount you can earn in the UK before having to pay any tax - has risen during the current Parliament from £6,500 to its current level of £10,000. From next April, it is due to rise to £10,500. "By cutting tax in this Parliament, cutting tax further in the next Parliament, and then moving on to National Insurance, we can make sure that over the course of a decade we shift the balance in the tax system - a generational shift - to help people in work," said Lib Dem Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander. Some 26 million working people would enjoy a cut in tax from the Lib Dems' proposed allowance rise, he said. Mr Alexander added: "We want to make sure we have a tax system that rewards people who work, that rewards people particularly working on low and middle incomes. "It puts the tax cuts where they are needed most." Independent public spending researcher body the Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates such a change would cost £3.5bn. It calculates the Lib Dem proposal would increase the personal allowance by £890 more than under normal inflationary rises, which would in fact be worth £178 a year for a basic rate taxpayer by 2020. BBC political correspondent Arif Ansari said the change, if enacted, would effectively mean that anyone on the minimum wage would not pay income tax. "But the party also has another challenge - how to make sure they win political credit from those who have benefited," he said. Cathy Jamieson, Labour's shadow treasury minister, said: "Nobody will believe a word the Lib Dems say on tax. "They backed the Tories in giving a huge tax cut to millionaires while breaking their promise not to raise VAT on everybody else."

Summary: A rise in the tax-free personal allowance to £12,500 during the next Parliament is being proposed by the Liberal Democrats.


Work and pensions committee chair Frank Field told news agencies that he was sure Sir Philip "will be invited". Sir Philip owned BHS, which went into administration on Monday, for 15 years until selling it for £1 in 2015. The committee will investigate how the collapse of BHS will affect the Pension Protection Fund. The Pensions Protection Fund is funded by a compulsory levy on companies who have defined benefit pensions. It is there to provide compensation for pensioners when companies go bust. The BHS pension scheme has a deficit of £571m and Sir Philip has offered to make an £80m voluntary contribution. Separately, the Pensions Regulator will investigate whether BHS's former owners sought to avoid their obligations. BHS, which employs about 11,000 people, will continue trading while the administrators seek a buyer for the business. Sir Philip Green: How he took on the High Street 'What we'll miss if BHS closes' BHS: What are the next steps? Pension scheme at heart of BHS woes Simon Jack: Broken promises at BHS? Mr Field said: "We need as a committee to look at the Pension Protection Fund and how the receipt of pension liabilities of BHS will impact on the increases in the levy that will now be placed on all other eligible employers to finance the scheme. "We will then need to judge whether the law is strong enough to protect future pensioners' contracts in occupational schemes." The administration means members of the pension scheme who are yet to retire will be paid a less generous pension. John Mann, a Labour member of the Treasury select committee, called on Sir Philip to repay £400m of dividends that he took out of BHS. "Sir Philip Green and his family have made millions out of BHS and its hardworking staff. He took over a company with a healthy pension pot, yet when he sold BHS a black hole had appeared in its fund," he said. "There is a very simple and honourable solution to this crisis: repay the dividends, live up to the name he has chosen for his new yacht, 'Lionheart', or lose his knighthood." Conservative MP Richard Fuller has called on Sir Philip to clarify his involvement in the chain's demise. "Green and Arcadia need to put out a statement immediately clarifying their position. He has a responsibility, a duty," he said. "Arcadia should be made to make public the documents and correspondence between themselves and Retail Acquisitions so that we can ascertain if the correct due diligence was undertaken in terms of there being enough cash left in the business and to cover the pension liability. If it's found that the correct due diligence was not undertaken, then Sir Philip will face serious consequences."

Summary: Former BHS owner Sir Philip Green is expected to be called to appear before MPs to face questions over the collapse of the retailer into administration.


A spokesman for HM Coastguard said nothing had been found during extensive searches and crews were stood down at 11:30 GMT. The missing man has been named by police as Len King, 74, from Alfriston, East Sussex. A friend reported him missing when he did not return home on Sunday evening. Mr King had set out to sail alone from Brighton to Newhaven. His Sunseeker yacht is believed to have been on autopilot when it drifted back to the marina and crashed into a wall with no-one on board. Three lifeboats and a coastguard helicopter were involved in the search, which began shortly after 22:00 on Sunday. It was hampered by storms overnight but resumed at first light in rough seas. In a statement issued through Sussex Police, Mr King's wife Stephanie said her husband had been sailing since he was at least 20. She said: "Normally we go together but during the week, if it's calm weather, he may go off by himself." Mrs King said he went off just before lunch on Sunday and had been expected home by dinnertime. When she phoned him several times the phone was unable to connect. "I can't understand what has happened," she said. "He is a very experienced yachtsman. He has all his equipment doubled up and is always careful. That is the way he runs things." HM Coastguard said extensive shoreline searches had been carried out around Brighton Marina, between Shoreham and Newhaven and as far out as 2.5 miles off shore. The helicopter had undertaken a search out to mid-Channel. "Despite these extensive searches, nothing has been found. Unless any new information comes to light, the search has been suspended," a spokesman said. Coastguards told BBC reporter Jon Hunt divers would examine the vessel to see if there was any mechanical explanation for what happened. Insp Roy Apps said it remained unclear what had happened to Mr King. He said: "The search is currently suspended and we are liaising with his family as we investigate the circumstances of his disappearance."

Summary: The search for the skipper of a yacht found abandoned near Brighton Marina has been called off and a missing person inquiry is under way.


Media playback is not supported on this device The sprint freestyle specialist made her Olympic debut at Beijing 2008 and narrowly missed out on medals at both London 2012 and Rio 2016. She finished just 0.02 seconds off the podium in the 50m freestyle in Rio. "Stepping away from the pool is quite a scary decision," said Halsall, 26. Halsall won three gold and seven silver medals at the Commonwealth Games, having made her international debut at Melbourne in 2006. She was part of the gold medal-winning 4x100m medley relay team at the 2015 World Championships, and also won gold in the 50m backstroke at the 2016 European Aquatics Championships. Halsall's retirement statement in full: Announcing my retirement from swimming is a weird concept to me as I've never seen it as a career or a job. Just as a hobby that I've loved doing and happened to be OK at. However I've done it for over a decade and there are so many people who have committed time, money, wisdom and knowledge into my journey that I will forever be thankful for. Stepping away from the pool is quite a scary decision for someone who's whole adult life to date has revolved around swim, weights, diet, peeing in a pot whilst someone watched, outdoor swim camps (yey) and lots of napping. I am very much looking forward to the next chapter of my life and the normality of eating and drinking what I want, the only time someone watches me pee is when I leave the door open by accident and the dog comes in, and experiencing the mythical bank holidays. I will miss my daily naps and choosing to do sets of backstroke while training outdoors just to get an even tan. It's time to close this chapter of my life and move on to the next. Swimming has taught me so much and given me opportunities that no other career could. So for me this is just a thank you note to everyone who has supported me for being part of a fantastic set of memories.

Summary: Britain's three-time Olympian Fran Halsall, who won more than 30 medals at world, European and Commonwealth level, has announced her retirement after a 10-year international career.


The 30-year-old had to be helped off the field after an accident during a training session for the second Test against India in Bangalore. Scans revealed a ligament tear in his left ankle, with Philander due to be out for "at least six to eight weeks". England's Test series against South Africa starts in Durban on Boxing Day. "Vernon stepped on Dean Elgar's foot by accident in our warm-up," said Proteas batsman AB de Villiers. "It was a very freakish accident, to be honest. He is very unlucky." South Africa have called up paceman Kyle Abbott to replace Philander, who has taken 126 wickets in 32 Tests, for the rest of the four-match series, with the visitors currently trailing 1-0. Philander's injury could mean he misses the first two Tests of England's four-game series in South Africa - the second Test in Cape Town on 2 January quickly following the first. "The first Test match against England is six weeks away so it will be a tight schedule to get him ready and rehabilitated to make that Test match," said South Africa team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee. "Once he has been assessed back home in Cape Town and a proper programme for physio and rehabilitation has been put into place we will have a clearer understanding."

Summary: South Africa bowler Vernon Philander could miss the start of next month's Test series with England after injuring his ankle in a warm-up football game.


Speaking in Parliament, Mr Javid said he was "wary of setting a precedent". Tata is looking to sell its loss-making UK business but the pension deficit is said to be hampering the process. However pension experts warned earlier that the changes could take ministers down a "dangerous path". Mr Javid has launched a consultation to consider the financial situation of Tata's UK pension scheme. He said the government was considering the proposals at the request of the trustees of the pension scheme and that any changes would need the approval of the regulator. He stressed that several options were being considered. "No decision has been made. We are wary of setting a precedent," he said. "This is very much about this scheme and this scheme only, in very unique circumstances." How steel workers' pensions could be hit One option under discussion is to base the scheme's annual increase on the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation measure, which is usually below the Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure currently used. This is the path favoured by the British Steel Pensions Scheme as they say it would leave most of the pension holders either better off or no worse off, compared with entering the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), which is the likely alternative. The PPF is a pensions lifeboat, funded by companies, designed to protect pensioners if their scheme were to go under. However, steel workers would be worse off under it. The company and the steel trade unions also welcomed the consultation, with the union saying that entering the PPF would be an "unmitigated disaster". "We need to ensure that there are cast iron safeguards in place so this unique situation does not result in employers dodging their pensions responsibilities," the union added in a statement. In total the British Steel pension scheme has 130,000 members. The scheme has a deficit of Â£485m. Earlier, former Lib Dem pensions minister Steve Webb said: "The government is going down a very dangerous path. "Everyone has huge sympathy for steel workers and for efforts to protect jobs, but rushed changes to pension rules risk driving a coach and horses through the pension security of hundreds of thousands of workers well beyond the steel industry." Meanwhile the pensions expert Tom McPhail from Hargreaves Lansdown said: "The potential deal on British Steel could rip a hole in one of the most fundamental principles of pension provision. It is well-established that pension benefits, once granted cannot be taken away."

Summary: Proposals to change Tata's pension scheme would be unique to the company and would not be applied more broadly, Business Secretary Sajid Javid has said.


10 June 2016 Last updated at 16:01 BST The airport has been built in St Helena, which is in the South Atlantic Ocean, between Africa and South America. The project has cost 285 million pounds and was due to open in May. A test flight at the airport wasn't able to land because it set ofo the aircraft's warning system for high winds.

Summary: An airport that was meant to open on a British overseas territory has been delayed because its too windy there.


Media playback is not supported on this device The Magpies were booed off following the 3-1 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday - a third successive league defeat that leaves them 19th in the table. It also increased speculation over head coach Steve McClaren's future. "If that's a performance from the players to say they are backing the manager, they are in trouble," Shearer told BBC's Match of the Day. "McClaren is in massive trouble, he has to take his fair share of the blame." Media playback is not supported on this device Shearer, the Magpies' all-time leading goalscorer, was in temporary charge of the club the last time they were relegated in 2009. "There is no statement of intent on the pitch from the players, and there are no academy players coming through," he added. "Chief scout Graham Carr holds most of the power when it comes to players coming in and out. There was a £15m striker [Aleksandar Mitrovic] who sat on the bench today." Newcastle are currently a point behind 17th-place Sunderland with a game in hand, but they are nine points behind Swansea in 16th, with 10 league games remaining. McClaren admitted after the game that his side were now in a "four-team league" battling against relegation along with Sunderland, Norwich and bottom club Aston Villa. He also said their defeat on Saturday was "going down material". It is now only one win in their last five games, in which they have conceded 12 goals in losses to Everton, Chelsea, Stoke and Bournemouth. Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown played under McClaren when he was a coach in the England set-up in the early 2000s and questioned his ability to lead a team. "I think McClaren is an excellent coach but not a manager. He looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights," he told BBC's Match of the Day. "With managers like David Moyes, Brendan Rodgers and Rafael Benitez around, he's in trouble."

Summary: Newcastle are "a mess from top to bottom", according to former captain Alan Shearer.


The young cranes hatched "in secret" in May - one at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire and two on farmland on the Somerset Levels. Experts said, their existence was kept secret to "protect the families". Conservationists at WWT Slimbridge have been working to re-establish a population in the region for six years. But this year is the first time birds from the project have successfully reared chicks. Damon Bridge, of the Great Crane Project, said: "We're delighted - success has always been about seeing birds raised in the wild take flight. "To have young on the wing in Somerset and at Slimbridge so early on is really fantastic. "The cranes are long-lived birds with many breeding attempts ahead of them and we are well on our way to our target of 20 breeding pairs in the South West by 2025." All three chicks have been named Peter in memory of Peter Newbery a "driving force" behind the project, who died before it finished. Ron and Trish Coombes, who farm on the Somerset Levels, said it had been "very exciting" watching the cranes hatch and rear two of the "three Petes". They said they were aware the birds were favouring one site but were "astonished" when they appeared with two chicks. Cranes were commonplace in parts of the West in the 1600s but became extinct across the UK. A small population has been established in the Norfolk Broads since 1979.

Summary: Three wild cranes - the first to be bred in the West Country for 400 years - have taken flight.


Domenico Scala announced an eight-part reform process, which includes a limit of three terms of four years for the president and the executive committee. He said: "A number of issues have their root cause in the fact that people have stayed for far too long." Sepp Blatter was Fifa president for 17 years before stepping down in June. The 79-year-old, who will leave Fifa in February 2016, was in power for a total of four terms and was elected for a fifth before resigning. Senior vice-president and executive committee member Issa Hayatou has been in place for 25 years with Spain's Angel Maria Villar Llona also an ex-co member for 17 years. Swiss-Italian Scala was set to be appointed as head of a Fifa taskforce set up to tackle corruption following the start of two ongoing criminal investigations. But after questions over the independence of the reform process, former International Olympic Committee director-general Francois Carrard was assigned with the role. After delivering his proposals, Scala, who has acted independently and wants Carrard's reform panel to adopt his ideas, also said: "If Fifa does not move, public opinion will not change. He added: "I made it very clear when Mr Blatter laid down his mandate that it was not only about the change of presidency but that there were certain systemic issues that need to be addressed. "We need reforms now, we can't wait. Fifa works very well operationally and has not come to a halt. But this is a watershed in terms of role and perception going forward." In addition to term limits, he announced plans for: The development comes after Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan said Fifa "must overcome deep-seated corruption" as he announced he will stand in the Fifa presidential election. Uefa president Michel Platini has also declared that he wants to stand for Fifa president. Former Fifa executive Chung Mong-joon of South Korea has also indicated that he will run in next year's election, as has Liberian FA president Musa Bility.

Summary: Fifa's corruption problems are a result of officials staying "too long" in key positions, according to the governing body's head of audit and compliance.


Jac Davies died following a blaze at his family home in Alltwen, Neath Port Talbot, in the early hours of July 27. His mother Jenny, 28, escaped the fire with her 11-month-old baby and daughter Kelsey, six, while other son Riley, three, was rescued by a firefighter. An inquest into Jac's death was adjourned last month. South Wales Police have confirmed a woman was arrested and bailed last month in connection with the incident. Police have not named the woman involved but it is understood to be Jac's mother. A spokesman said: "A 28-year-old woman from the Pontardawe area has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect and is currently on police bail while enquiries continue." A pre-inquest into Jac's death will be held on January 25.

Summary: The mother of a four-year-old boy who died in a house fire has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect.

Non-league Salford City, part-owned by five former Manchester United players, have already caused a huge upset by beating League Two Notts County 2-0. Following six rounds of qualifying, 32 non-league clubs remain and they are two victories away from a potential meeting with a Premier League club. You can follow all the action on BBC television, radio and online. BBC coverage highlights over the weekend include: The lowest-ranked team left in the competition are Didcot Town, who play in Southern Division One South & West - the eighth tier of English football. They host League Two side Exeter City, who lost at this stage last season to an eighth-tier team, Warrington. Bradford City, who have enjoyed remarkable cup success in recent years and beat Chelsea on their way to reaching the quarter-finals last season, travel to National League side Aldershot Town. Wigan, who won the cup in 2013, visit fellow League One side Bury, while 2008 winners Portsmouth host Macclesfield Town. Media playback is not supported on this device National League North side Worcester City will be hoping for a repeat of last season's heroics when they face League One outfit Sheffield United. At this stage of last year's competition, Worcester produced one of the season's biggest upsets as they won 2-1 at League One side Coventry City. There are six all non-league ties, meaning there will be at least six teams from outside the Football League in the second-round draw.

Charlie Craig, 15, from Derbyshire, was a rider at apprentice level with the GB Cycling Team's Rider Route. The boy's father, Nick Craig, broke the news on Facebook saying the family's world had fallen apart, Cycling Weekly reported. British Cycling's programmes director Andy Harrison said the organisation was "devastated by the news". The teenager won the under-16 National Trophy Cyclocross Series in 2016 and was highly thought of in the cycling world. Mr Craig, himself a national cyclocross champion, said on Facebook: "Our beautiful lovely little boy Charlie went to sleep but never woke up. "I don't know what else to write just now, but he will be with his little angel niece." Many people posted messages on Twitter, including Dame Sarah Storey, winner of 15 Paralympic gold medals, who tweeted: "Devastated to hear the news about Charlie Craig, what a tragic loss." Mr Harrison, from British Cycling, said: "Charlie was a promising young rider who had his whole life ahead of him. "Everyone involved with the team is devastated by this news and, naturally, all of our thoughts are with Charlie's family." It is not known at this stage how he died.

Summary: Tributes have been paid to a "promising young cyclist" who died in his sleep on Friday.


In the three months to February, sales volumes fell by 1.4%, a sharper slide than the 0.5% decline for the three months to January. That was the biggest three-month fall recorded by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) since March 2010. Fuel prices in February were 18.7% higher than a year earlier. "February's retail sales figures show fairly strong growth, though the underlying three-month picture shows falling sales as February's figures follow two consecutive months of decline in December and January," said ONS statistician Kate Davies. "The underlying trend suggests that rising petrol prices in particular have had a negative effect on the overall quantity of goods bought over the last three months." Petrol cost an average of 120p a litre in February, with diesel 3p more, according to ONS figures. However, the 1.4% rise in retail sales in February was higher than the 0.4% increase expected by economists. News of the month-on-month increase sent the pound higher above $1.25. Paul Hollingsworth at Capital Economics said the figures would give some reassurance that higher inflation had not brought growth in consumer spending to a halt. Inflation as measured by the Consumer Prices Index jumped to 2.3% in February - up from 1.8% in January, the ONS said on Tuesday. However, Howard Archer at IHS Markit said consumers were becoming more cautious as higher inflation squeezed their purchasing power. "The economy's persistent resilience since last June's Brexit vote has been largely built on consumers keeping on spending," he said. "With consumers now seemingly moderating their spending, the long-anticipated slowdown in the economy looks set to materialise unless other sectors can make significantly increased contributions." Fashion retailer Next said on Thursday it was "extremely cautious" about trading for the coming year as it reported lower annual profits. Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY ITEM Club, said annual shop price inflation increased from 1.9% in January to 2.8% in February - a 60-month high. "How the year pans out will depend heavily upon consumers' willingness to draw on savings or take on more debt," he said. "Last year's retail boom looks set to become an increasingly distant memory."

Summary: UK retail sales posted a 1.4% rise in February from the previous month, but there are signs that higher fuel prices have begun to hit shoppers' pockets.


"Costs have got out of control, we need costs to come right down," he told BBC 5 live's Wake Up to Money programme. Lord Browne said companies would have to "slim down", warning "there will be some companies that go to the wall". The warning from Lord Browne, who led BP for 12 years, comes amid fears the industry is in crisis. A barrel of Brent crude has more than halved in price since its peak of $115 last summer. On Tuesday, the price stood at $57 a barrel. Last month, the chairman of the independent explorers' association Brindex told the BBC the industry was "close to collapse". Robin Allan claimed almost no new projects in the North Sea were profitable with oil below $60 a barrel. In recent weeks hundreds of North Sea jobs have been cut by oil firms, including BP and Talisman Sinopec. The chancellor has said he will look at new measures to support the industry in his next Budget in March. Both industry leaders and the Scottish government are calling for taxes to be cut further as a matter of urgency to help the sector deal with falling oil prices and higher costs. Unions have also raised safety concerns over the number of job cuts being made in the industry.

Summary: Former BP chief executive Lord Browne has warned North Sea oil operators' costs must fall in order for them to compete globally.

Media playback is not supported on this device And at Aintree in 2017 we have plenty to play with: it's half a century - to the day as it happens - since Foinavon's shock success at 100-1; and 40 years have elapsed since Red Rum, the all-time greatest Grand National horse, raised the roof with his historic third win. Gilded as their places in the race's long and colourful heritage undoubtedly are, the events of 20 years ago - 5-9 April 1997 - will have their own unforgettable place. And not just in Aintree history; the dates of the weekend when IRA terrorism delayed the world's most famous horse-race by two days - recalled in BBC 5 live's 'Evacuate Aintree: 20 years on' - still resonate far further afield. Two decades on, I recall that as the sun rose over the blocks of flats in the Fazakerley district of Liverpool which borders Aintree, the 150th Grand National felt to me like, for want of a better expression, a 'standard' Grand National day. Nerves always jangle alongside excitement at Aintree, but I suspect that as four years earlier the infamous false start-drama saw the race declared void, we probably considered that we'd 'had' our major incidents for now. That said, we were entering the closing stages of a general election campaign punctuated by republican terror threats. Only two days earlier, three motorways had been closed by bomb alerts, but the feeling was that as the fixture was a big favourite with visitors from Ireland, we'd be OK. Among the police, however, there was a degree of nervousness as Sir Paul Stephenson, then Assistant Chief Constable of Merseyside, and later head of the Met, told 5 live. "We'd seen a new development using telephone calls indicating there were devices on motorways and other national infrastructure - I coined the phrase 10-pence [cost of a phone box call] terrorism - and this had become a very serious challenge," he said. "And not only did we have potential terrorist threats, but we had the threats from extreme animal rights people, so the Grand National was not just an iconic event, but a threatened event." However, the atmosphere remained relaxed as thousands on the course - including the Princess Royal and soon-to-be cabinet ministers John Prescott and Robin Cook - watched the early races. Barely an hour before the runners, headed by Go Ballistic and Suny Bay, were due to line-up for the feature at 15:45 came the first of the bomb warnings, which ultimately forced the evacuation from the stands and into the surrounding enclosures of 60,000-plus people. I think most of us thought we'd be back in place quickly, but then came the words, live on BBC TV, from Charles Barnett, the MD, which still ring in my ears today. "There have been two coded bomb warnings received by the police," he said, "and there's no possibility of taking any chances. "So, I just ask everybody here, including you the BBC, to leave the course and get out onto the public highway, immediately." Including you

Summary: Programme producers love a 'round-figure' anniversary.


It comes after two cabinet ministers stepped down on Tuesday over separate scandals, which means a political reshuffle is likely in 2016. Liberal senator Eric Abetz called for Mr Abbott to make a comeback saying he has "more to offer public life". Abbott was unseated by current Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in September. "I'm on the record as saying that I believe Tony Abbott has more to offer public life in Australia," Mr Abetz told the Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC). "I hope that he stays in the Parliament and I hope that there will be a place for him, a prominent place for him, in any future ministry should he decide to stay. Another politician calling for Mr Abbott's return was Nationals Senator John Williams, who told the ABC the move would help "heal the wounds of the past". Cities minister Jamie Briggs resigned yesterday after a female public servant lodged an official complaint about his behaviour in a Hong Kong bar in September. Mr Briggs said that he had failed to live up to the high standards expected of a government minister. Special Minister for State Mal Brough also stepped aside pending the result of a federal police investigation into alleged his role in the illegal procurement of a rival politician's private diary. Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss, who leads the Nationals, is widely predicted to retire from politics before the next federal election. An announcement on Mr Truss's future would provide the catalyst for Mr Turnbull to reshuffle his frontbench.

Summary: Supporters of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott have made calls for him to return to a senior government position.


The Asian Hornet has spread across Europe since being accidentally introduced to France in 2004 in a shipment of pottery from China. The UK's National Bee Unit confirmed one of the hornets had been photographed in Jersey. Beekeeper Bob Hogge said he expected more to arrive on the island. Mr Hogge, from the Jersey Beekeepers' Association, said: "I think I could put a very safe bet that we will have them here within the next few years. "They surround us now, they're on the Brittany coast, they're on the Normandy coast - we will get them", he said. A nest of Asian Hornets found in Alderney in July was destroyed as a precaution against them spreading, the Alderney government said. In Jersey, an amateur insect expert who photographed it at Mount Bingham, Jersey's environment department said. The department said the area had been searched and no further hornet activity detected. People who suspect they have found a hornet should send a photograph to the department if it is safe to do so, a spokesman said. Mr Hogge said the Asian Hornet dismembered honey bees to take back to feed their young and could wipe out entire hives. "They've got a particularly unpleasant sting, and they are aggressive. If one attacks you and leaves a sting it will leave a scent and others will come and attack you too," he added. However, the department stressed the Asian hornet was no more harmful to humans than the European hornet. Identifying an Asian hornet Source: National Bee Unit

Summary: A hornet which can kill up to 50 bees a day has been spotted in Jersey for the first time, a month after a nest was discovered on a neighbouring island.


Its authors suggested better broadband could help create higher-paid jobs. They have also highlighted the need for adequate provision of training and childcare to help support workers. Highlands and Islands Enterprise, which was involved in commissioning the study, is supporting work to offer superfast broadband in rural areas. The report, Minimum Income Standard for Remote Rural Scotland 2016, has suggested that the level of income required to afford a socially acceptable standard of living and "to participate in society" is 10 to 30% more expensive in remote rural Scotland. However, it has also suggested falling energy costs have "to some extent" eased "the burden" on the cost of living for people living in remote rural areas. Fergus Ewing, Secretary for the Rural Economy and Connectivity, said: "I welcome this latest Minimum Income Standard Report and note the positive impact that lower diesel and petrol prices has had on those who have to travel long distances. "The Scottish government is already doing much to support rural communities through transport initiatives and Rural Fuel Poverty measures, and we will continue to work with rural communities to identify the best solutions to rural challenges." The report was commissioned by HIE, Scottish Enterprise, the Rural and Islands Housing Association Forum and the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations.

Summary: People in remote rural Scotland need up to 30% more income than the rest of the UK to have "a socially acceptable standard of living," says a new report.


Officer William Porter, charged with manslaughter, has said he did not call for a medic for Freddie Gray because he had no reason to do so. A prosecutor said Mr Porter could have easily called for a medic or used a seatbelt in the back of a police van. Gray died a week after sustaining a spinal cord injury in the van. His death sparked protests over police brutality, with the city of Baltimore erupting in rioting, looting and arson on the day of his funeral. Prosecutor Janice Bledsoe said during closing arguments that Mr Porter "just didn't care enough" to secure Gray with a seatbelt or call for medical attention. Mr Porter said he checked on Gray during the stops, and he had no signs of injury. He is charged with manslaughter, assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment and could receive up to 25 years in prison. Other officers' saying they do not use seat belts on prisoners is not an excuse, she said. Mr Porter said Gray asked for help getting off of the floor of the van and denied claims that Gray told him he could not breathe. However Mr Porter did say he hear Gray say something about needing an inhaler upon his arrest. He said in 200 arrests involving the van, he has never belted a prisoner because the wagon is "pretty tight". "External facts" show Mr Porter is telling the truth, his lawyer Joseph Murtha said, according to the Baltimore Sun. Mr Murtha said Gray's death was a "horrible tragedy" but that there is no evidence Mr Porter is responsible for it. Concerned about possible unrest after the verdict, Baltimore is opening an emergency operations centre as the trial wraps up. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has said she is sure city officials are prepared for any protests that may arise. Five other Baltimore police officers will go on trial in Gray's death. All have pleaded not guilty. They will be tried separately and prosecutors hope to use Mr Porter as a witness in the other trials.

Summary: A Baltimore officer on trial over a death in custody has been accused of turning a police van into a coffin on wheels, prosecutors have argued.


Christopher Michael Williams, 51, of Acrefair, died after being struck by a half-tonne power press on 3 December 2012 at Vauxhall Industrial Estate. Mold Crown Court heard the lifting operation was unsafe and Mr Williams was not properly trained in lifting non-standard loads. Morgan Technical Ceramics Ltd had admitted failing to ensure his safety. The court heard a maintenance supervisor was moving the power press on a pallet truck when it toppled over, striking Mr Williams. He died from his injuries at the scene. As well as the fine, the firm must also pay £23,000 in costs.

Summary: A Wrexham company has been fined £180,000 after a man was crushed by heavy machinery at a Ruabon factory.


He worked closely with owner Randy Lerner, who put the club up for sale last May but is yet to find a buyer. The resignation of American Fox after 18 months at the Premier League's bottom club follows the departure of sporting director Hendrik Almstadt and three new appointments to the board. Fox said "it makes sense for me to seek another challenge" following the changes in the Villa boardroom. Villa are nine points from safety at the foot of the league and Fox and Lerner have been the target of fans' anger over their struggles. Steven Hollis became the club's new chairman in January while former Governor of the Bank of England Lord King and ex-Football Association chairman David Bernstein have become directors at Villa Park. And Gulf War commander General Charles Krulak is now listed as a director on the Companies House website. In a statement Fox said: "The owner made it very clear last summer that he and I would seek to recruit a board that would put the club in a stronger position in the event that a sale didn't happen. "As the board has taken shape, however, it has become clear that my role also has changed. While I am supportive of where the board is trying to take the club, it is my feeling that given the changes they are making, it makes sense for me to seek another challenge."

Summary: Aston Villa chief executive Tom Fox has stepped down with immediate effect.


Ovarian Cancer Action said the Scottish Medicines Consortium's decision on olaparib was "ground-breaking". The SMC approved the drug after hearing that patients tended to be younger women with family and work commitments. Cancer Research UK said trials have shown that olaparib can extend lives by an average of seven months. Olaparib is already approved for use in England for people who are suffering with cancer for a third time. In Scotland, it will be used by women who have relapsed with cancer for a second time. Katherine Taylor, chief executive of research charity Ovarian Cancer Action, said: "The SMC's decision to approve the routine use of olaparib is ground-breaking; a huge leap towards more personalised treatment for women facing ovarian cancer because of a genetic mutation." The drug targets ovarian cancer in women with a BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene mutation. Last year Angelina Jolie had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed after she was found to be at an increased risk of ovarian cancer due to a "faulty" BRCA 1 gene. Ms Taylor warned that women in Scotland would only qualify for olaparib if their BRCA status is known. She said: "NHS Scotland must continue to make sure that all patients are offered a BRCA test at diagnosis so they can be treated with the best drugs available." Gregor McNie, of Cancer Research UK in Scotland, said the charity was also funding clinical trials to asses the potential for olaparib in the treatment of brain tumours and pancreatic cancer. He added: "Cancer Research UK scientists played a pivotal role in discovering and developing olaparib and it is great news that the drug will now offer new hope to some women in Scotland with advanced disease. "We look forward to further good news on olaparib in the future, with clinical trials showing it also has potential in other types of cancer." Olaparib was approved by the SMC after being considered by its Patient Clinician Engagement (PACE) process which is used for medicines that treat end of life and very rare conditions. Prof Jonathan Fox, chairman of the SMC, said: "As the first maintenance treatment for ovarian cancer, olaparib is an important development, and we know from the evidence given by patients and clinicians through our PACE process that it will be welcomed."

Summary: Cancer charities have welcomed a decision to approve a new drug for treatment of a rare form of incurable ovarian cancer.


Residents have said overflow channels would stop short of the Surrey town and water could be funnelled towards them. The Environment Agency said Sunbury would see benefits from the Â£256m River Thames Scheme and risks would not rise. Spokesman David Murphy said the channels were to convey water in a channel instead of on the flood plain. Sunbury resident Kevin Ella said no-one would want to live in the town. "The houses are not going to be worth any money because people know we're at the end of a flood relief," he said. Fellow resident Jeff Dormer added: "[It is] very likely [the floods] will happen again. There is no future for us here." BBC reporter Gareth Furby said nearby Datchet would see flood levels fall by three quarters of a metre and Wraysbury would see flood levels fall by a third of a metre, but Sunbury had no minimum reduction and a maximum benefit of about 15cm, under the scheme. Mr Murphy said the whole scheme would benefit more than 15,000 properties along the Thames. He said: "The River Thames Scheme includes all communities from Datchet down to Teddington and that includes Sunbury. "Sunbury will see benefits from the scheme although those benefits will be less than other communities." He said there were proposals to develop the scheme to increase the capacity of three weirs and reduce flood levels in Sunbury. "[But] the amount that we can reduce water levels is limited because of the size of the river as it passes down through Sunbury down to Teddington," he stressed. About 1,000 homes in Surrey were flooded during the winter after the Thames reached its highest level in 60 years.

Summary: Homeowners have raised concerns a flood defence scheme for the River Thames could increase the risk to their properties in Sunbury.

Light-flyweight Yafai, 23, scored a clear points victory over Cameroon's Simplice Fotsala in the round of 32. Welsh lightweight Cordina used classy footwork and counterpunching to beat bustling Filipino Charly Suarez. Okolie, a heavyweight in just his 26th bout, used his jab well to overcome Polish fighter Igor Jakubowski. The 23-year-old Londoner only quit his job at McDonalds after watching Anthony Joshua win super-heavyweight gold at London 2012, and battled obesity as a youth. "To become a legend, you have to do legendary stuff. This is just part of the journey to be a legend," he said. "If I manage to win, then I deserve it. It's not about scraping a medal or getting lucky. It's about wanting to beat everyone. If I can beat everyone in front of me, I get gold. If I don't, I don't deserve it." Light-heavyweight Joshua Buatsi is the only Briton in action on Sunday, taking on Uganda's Kennedy Katende at 17:00 BST.

Summary: British fighters Galal Yafai, Joe Cordina and Lawrence Okolie progressed in the Olympic boxing competition on the first day of Rio 2016.


The inaugural Nitro Athletics events take place in Melbourne next month, with six teams of 24 athletes taking part in non-traditional events such as middle-distance and hurdles relays. Nine-time Olympic champion Bolt, 30, will captain an 'all-stars' team. "We need brave, bold ideas that engage fans in events," said Coe. "Athletics is a global sport with a global following, but we need events that bring back the fun, the kids and the crowds and... add a different dimension to the record-setting events like the world championships. "Nitro Athletics is a great example of what can be done and what needs to be done to revolutionise how we present our sport and how our fans connect with the sport and the athletes." Bolt and his team-mates will compete against squads from Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand and England - the latter captained by 2008 Olympic 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu. The Nitro series will take place at Melbourne's Lakeside Stadium on 4, 9 and 11 February, and will build up to the World Championships in London in August, which is expected to be Bolt's final major competition.

Summary: A new athletics team event, headlined by Usain Bolt, could "revolutionise" the sport, according to World Athletics chief Lord Sebastian Coe.


The suspect, Claudio Giardiello, was arrested in a suburb after fleeing the scene on a motorbike. He was reportedly a defendant in a bankruptcy case. He is believed to have shot dead a co-defendant, his former lawyer and a bankruptcy court judge. Earlier reports of a fourth death were proven wrong. The shooting has prompted scrutiny of security measures. Questions are being asked about how Mr Giardiello managed to smuggle a weapon into a well-guarded building, use it several times and escape. The suspect was arrested by carabinieri officers in Vimercate, about 25km (15 miles) north-east of central Milan, near the town of Monza. Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said the "presumed assassin" had been taken to a military police barracks in the Milan area. The sound of gunfire had sparked panic inside the Palace of Justice on Wednesday morning. Hundreds of people poured down stairways towards the exits while police and military police officers searched for the gunman. "All of a sudden we heard at least three or four shots," lawyer Marcello Ilia told the AFP news agency outside the building. "We tried to find out what was going on. There were suddenly lots of police officers who told us not to leave the room, they shut us in," he said. "After a few minutes we came out. They told us someone in a suit and tie was armed and at large in the court." The newspaper La Repubblica, quoting officials and witnesses, said that the gunman had been attending a bankruptcy hearing when a fight broke out inside the third floor courtroom. He pulled out a weapon and shot the lawyer, named as Lorenzo Alberto Claris Appiani, as well as one of his co-defendants, named as Giorgio Erba. According to La Repubblica, Mr Appiani was a former lawyer for Mr Giardiello who was acting as a witness in the case. The gunman then left the courtroom and headed to the office of appeals court judge, Fernando Ciampi, shooting him dead. It is not known if the gunman had any links to the judge. Several media outlets had earlier said that a fourth person had died in the incident of a possible heart attack, after reports of a body found at the building with no obvious injuries. But the reports - based on a statement from the emergency services, according to AFP news agency - have been proven incorrect, with the body in question now believed to have been that of Mr Erba. Another two people were wounded in the shooting and are being treated at a hospital. After hiding inside the Palace of Justice for more than an hour, the gunman fled on a motorbike, according to La Repubblica. Mr Giardiello was described as "aggressive" and "a little paranoid" by his former lawyer, Valerio Maraniello, in comments quoted by AFP news agency. Visitors to the Palace of Justice have to pass through metal detectors. Lawyers and courthouse employees with official identification are, however, regularly waved through, according to the Associated Press. Ansa reported that one of the metal detectors was broken

Summary: A gunman has killed three people in a shooting spree at the Palace of Justice in Milan in northern Italy.
