Its design is centred around patients and their families and it has taken ideas from Norway. Experts say the design of a building can have a very real impact on patient care. "The environment can actually improve a patient's symptoms because if you have an anxiety quite often that can heighten a patient's physical pain," says Rhona Baillie, chief executive officer of the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice. She has had more than 20 years experience as a palliative care nurse. "If we can help to control that anxiety and make that patient feel more relaxed in an environment that they're very comfortable in, that can help their overall physical state." At the moment the site for the new hospice building in Bellahouston Park is full of scrubby grasses and drying out mud, but building work is scheduled to start soon. The idea is to create a homely atmosphere for patients and their families who have often been on a very hard clinical journey. They found a model for this in Scandinavia, with beds clustered around a courtyard. In the middle of that there is space for tables and chairs, where families can eat together, just like at home with soft furnishing and beautiful lighting. The clinical equipment will be there, but very much in the background. "It's got a domestic-sized front door," explains Ms Baillie. "As soon as you walk in there will be no barriers of having a desk you have to walk up to and the first thing you'll see is a fireplace, so all of that signifies home." The hospice has been housed in its present building on the banks of the Clyde for more than 30 years. The architects spent time understanding how it worked before they started on the new building. "This project has influenced me hugely," says Alastair Forbes, architectural director with Ryder Architecture. Part of what he was trying to do was use the layout of the building to limit the time staff would spend away from patients and to break down the scale of the place. It is designed to look like four interlinked houses. It also meant a first for him in his career as an architect as he spent time examining how a room looks when you are lying in bed. It is something which he says has become a "touchstone" for him in the project. "What a patient sees, how much they see the ceiling, how much they don't actually see out the window," he explains. "It's a very clinical environment, it's the smells, it's the noises, the proximity to staff, to other patients, personalisation you can see there is quite difficult." "Everything's about people." The design of the new hospice building also considers its parkland setting with rooms which allow patients to see the sky and the gardens from their bed, as well as giving them and their families the opportunity to eat together. "Coming from a Pakistani background, you cook for your family and friends all the time," says Saf Akram. His sister spent time at the

Summary: Work is beginning shortly on a new hospice building in Glasgow.


Cleveland Potash, which runs the site near Saltburn, said the development would secure the plant for 40 years. Plans include extending the mine to the east and upgrading facilities to increase production capacity. Some groups have raised concerns the development could have an intrusive effect on the local area. The company hopes to extend its planning permission with the North York Moors National Park Authority to 2063. Cleveland Potash's parent company Israel Chemicals Ltd (ICL) is set to invest Â£300m in the area over the next five years. As well as funding the development of the Boulby site, the investment will go towards upgrading the company's Teesport operation near Middlesbrough, which exports potash mined at Boulby. One of the first steps will be the Â£16m replacement of the tower at the top of the Boulby site's rock shaft, which lifts the mineral up from the mine. The renewal will raise the amount of ore lifted to around 5.3 million tonnes a year, a one million tonne increase on the current maximum. The mine's underground equipment, which Cleveland Potash general manager Phil Baines described as "aged", will also be modernised. Mr Baines said: "Our present combination of potash resources and reserves totals around 70 million to 80 million tonnes, but following a major exploration programme we expect this figure will increase significantly over the new few years. "Our plan is to extend operations out to the east in parallel to the area worked over the past 40 years, effectively providing a new mine for the next 40 years."

Summary: Plans to extend a potash mine at Boulby in East Cleveland are expected to create more than 270 jobs by the end of 2015, the owners said.


Ward, from Montana, has been one of the featured drivers for the last five of the History Channel show's 10 seasons. The show follows drivers as they battle the elements to deliver supplies to remote communities in northern Canada. In the UK, the latest series of Ice Road Truckers had around 900,000 viewers per episode on Channel 5. A statement on Ward's Facebook page said he had been travelling from a truck show in Dallas, Texas, to start filming the pilot for new a documentary about the recovery of plane wrecks in Montana. The statement said his co-pilot, who was unnamed, also died in the crash, "Trucking has always been a large part of Darrell's life; from running the harvest rigs with his grandparents and family, to driving trucks from Montana to Alaska and all roads in between," it read. "In his free time, you could usually find Darrell giving back to the community any chance he got, he had promoted the most recent food drive to help victims in the Louisiana Floods and was scheduled to appear as the grand marshal for the Truck Convoy for Special Olympics in Nova Scotia." The message added: "His motto, 'any road, any load' fits his personality perfectly." A statement from History said: "We are saddened by the tragic loss of Darrell Ward, a beloved member of the History family. "He will be greatly missed and our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time."

It comes despite the party's policy to support renewing the Trident nuclear weapons system remaining unchanged at the recent Labour conference. Mr Corbyn was also criticised by many of his MPs for saying he would never use nuclear weapons if he became PM. However, CND said Mr Corbyn was stepping down as its vice-chairman because of his "increased workload". Mr Corbyn joined the organisation as a teenager in 1966 and has long campaigned against the replacement of Trident. But many Labour MPs, including the party's new shadow defence secretary Maria Eagle, have openly disagreed with Mr Corbyn's views on nuclear weapons. BBC political correspondent Carole Walker said his new role at CND was likely to increase tensions within his party over the issue. "Privately some are deeply concerned at the uncertainty over Labour's position on such a key issue," she added. A guide to Trident and the debate about its replacement Is there such a thing as a nuclear button? How important is Trident to the UK's security and international standing? CND's general secretary Kate Hudson said Mr Corbyn's new role was a "fitting tribute to a very principled man with a lifelong commitment to CND and the cause of nuclear disarmament". "Working together, with enormous support from across society, we will prevail against trident and secure a crucial step towards global disarmament," she added. Russell Whiting, from CND, said Mr Corbyn "stood on a clear anti-trident platform" when he was elected as Labour leader "with a massive mandate". "He's challenging the consensus that has developed at Westminster around Trident," he said. "And that's something we're looking forward to taking forward with him." Mr Corbyn had been due to address a CND conference in London this weekend, but is now said to have other engagements. Meanwhile, one Labour MP has raised concerns about a group that campaigned to get Mr Corbyn elected as party leader and and has now rebranded itself as Momentum. The group promises to "organise in every town, city and village to create a mass movement", but Mike Gapes, the Labour MP for Ilford South, has told the BBC he fears some members of the campaign have an agenda. He said: "I hope they are just going to be a discussion organisation like Progress or the Fabian Society, but I fear some of the people behind it have another agenda which is about deselecting MPs." However, a spokeswoman for Momentum said such fears were a misunderstanding, and she said it was "a positive, outward looking" organisation.

Summary: Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is to become the vice-president of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).


A future Labour government would ring-fence 4,000 new flats and homes for rough sleepers in cities such as Bristol, Liverpool and Birmingham. The properties would be let at "genuinely affordable" rents, building on an existing scheme in London. The government said £500m had been invested to help homeless people. But Labour's housing spokesman John Healey said rising rough sleeping levels were inexcusable. Labour has challenged the government to back its plan, which it said would be delivered if it wins power at the next election, scheduled for 2020. The party says a change in the law in 2011 means homeless people are increasingly housed in insecure private rented homes, making it more likely they will end up back on the streets. According to government figures published last autumn, based on counts and council estimates, there were 3,569 people estimated to be out on the streets in England on any given night in 2015, compared with 1,768 in 2010. Announcing the new initiative, Mr Healey - who is shadow cabinet minister with responsibility for housing - said the statistics were unacceptable in a country as "decent and well-off" as the UK. Labour wants to use the Clearing House scheme, run by St Mungo's charity on behalf of the Greater London Authority, as a model for the rest of the country. The scheme, established initially in 1991 under John Major's government, provides 3,750 flats in more than 40 housing associations in the capital for permanent use by rough sleepers. Under Labour's plan, it would be rolled out to the West Midlands and Greater Manchester, as well as Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, Sheffield and Oxford - with places reserved for British nationals and others who are eligible for social housing. Ahead of an opposition day debate in the Commons designed to draw attention to the issue, Mr Healey said the previous Labour government had achieved "record low levels" of rough sleeping. "The tragedy of this is this is a problem that can be solved," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Mr Healey said housing associations should make unoccupied homes available for use and be incentivised by government to build replacements. He added: "The rapidly rising number of people sleeping in doorways and on park benches shames us all. There can be no excuses - it must end. Full stop. "The spiralling rise in street homelessness results directly from decisions made by ministers since 2010 on housing, and on funding for charities and councils. "A Labour government would put a stop to this national shame and provide homeless people with a place to call home and rebuild their lives." St Mungo's said its scheme had found stable accommodation for 13,500 people over 25 years, including many vulnerable people with complex health needs. Ministers have said government funding for homelessless over the next four years had been increased to £139m. The Department for Communities and Local Government said the number of people recognised as homeless by their local authority was less than half the 2003 peak but acknowledged that "one person without a home is one too

Summary: Labour has pledged to end the "national shame" of rough sleeping by doubling the number of homes available for use by homeless people across England.


Mr Trump called Mika Brzezinski "low IQ crazy Mika", in response to disparaging remarks about him on an MSNBC show. He also referred to her "bleeding badly from a facelift" and assailed her co-presenter Joe Scarborough. Senator Lindsey Graham said Mr Trump's remarks were "beneath the office" of president. He said the tweet "represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America". "Please just stop. This isn't normal," tweeted fellow Republican Senator Ben Sasse. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan also joined the criticism, saying: "I don't see that as an appropriate comment. What we're trying to do around here is improve the tone, the civility of the debate. This obviously doesn't help." MSNBC said it was "a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job". But the White House sprang to Mr Trump's defence. "I don't think that the president has ever been someone that gets attacked and doesn't push back," spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News. "People on that [MSNBC] show have personally attacked him many times. This is a president who fights fire with fire and certainly will not be allowed to be bullied by liberal media and the liberal elites within the media, or Hollywood or anywhere else." Brzezinski and Scarborough co-present the MSNBC breakfast show, Morning Joe, which has increasingly derided President Trump since he took office. In recent weeks, Scarborough has called him a "bumbling dope", resembling "a kid who pooped in his pants", while Brzezinski has mocked members of the administration as "lobotomised". "I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore)," Mr Trump tweeted on Thursday morning. He accused "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" and "Psycho Joe" of "insisting on joining me" at his Mar-a-Lago Florida golf resort over three days at New Year's Eve. "She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!" he added. The senior Democrat in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, called Mr Trump's tweets "sexist, an assault on the freedom of the press & an insult to all women". Brzezinski is the daughter of the late Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was an aide to presidents Carter and Johnson, while Scarborough is a former Republican congressman. The couple are engaged to each other.

Summary: Senior US Republicans have joined condemnation of President Donald Trump over an attack he made on Twitter against a prominent female journalist.

Rodolfo Illanes and his bodyguard were seized earlier on Thursday at a roadblock in Panduro, south of La Paz, official said. Interior Minister Carlos Romero said "all indications" were that Mr Illanes had been murdered in a "cowardly and brutal" attack. Two miners also died from gunshot wounds during clashes with police. Mr Illanes was beaten to death at about 18:00 local time (00:00 GMT), La Razon newspaper quoted Defence Minister Reymi Ferreira as saying. The authorities could not for the moment retrieve his body, the minister said. More than 100 arrests had been made, he said. President Evo Morales had been "profoundly affected" by Mr Illanes's death, Mr Ferreira added. While he was being held, Mr Illanes told Bolivian radio that a condition for his release was that the government negotiate with miners over new legislation. The miners have been blocking a highway in Panduro since Tuesday. The National Federation of Mining Co-operatives of Bolivia, once strong allies of President Morales, began what they said would be an indefinite protest after negotiations failed. Protesters have been demanding more mining concessions, the right to work for private companies, and greater union representation.

Summary: The Bolivian government says its deputy interior minister has been kidnapped and killed by striking miners.


Hundreds of people criticised the Magical Journey, at the Belfry Golf Club near Sutton Coldfield, for being overpriced and unfinished. Bosses shut the attraction at the weekend to resolve the issues. They have banned the media from attending the reopening saying it would "create anxiety for visitors". A statement said: "The Magical Journey team are hugely grateful for the support we have received from broadcast media and regional papers. "So it is with huge regret that we have decided not to open the event up to press on our reopening day. "Please understand that everything we have done, we have done in order to create a truly magical journey for the parents and specifically the children visiting. "And we feel that camera crews, reporters and journalists are only going to take away from that experience and possibly even create anxiety for our visitors." Hundreds of messages were posted on the Magical Journey's Facebook page after it opened. A number of users complained about the price of admission - the top price for a child is Â£22.50 - and accused the management of misleading the public. Refunds are being offered. Mother-of-four Michelle Guarini, from Stourport-on-Severn in Worcestershire, said she had paid Â£150 for her family to visit. She said: "They made out it was going to be a fantastic, Narnia-like experience - and there were workmen wandering around with cigarettes. "The Christmas market was about six shacks and there were some elves who didn't seem to know what they were doing. The kids were bored. It was appalling." A post on the attraction's Facebook page said reports Father Christmas had sworn at a customer and that a reindeer had bitten a child were untrue. It said it was possible some elves had been seen smoking in the staff rest area and said extra screening had been put up. Event director Paul Dolan said work had been "severely hampered" by bad weather and the opening should have been postponed. He told BBC WM they had now managed to do "all the work they wanted to do". "It's looking magnificent," he said. Mr Dolan said "over 500" people had visited the attraction since it reopened. "Everyone has felt the scrutiny we have been under, but the team have performed brilliantly and today there were lots of smiling faces," he said. In a post on Facebook Rachel Cannon said: "Just got back... and what a brilliant afternoon. A truly magical time! Well done for turning it around." Gemma Fenton posted that her children "really enjoyed it" and commented that the staff were "brilliant". But one father told the BBC even though his children enjoyed their visit it was "probably not worth the money you pay".

Summary: A Christmas attraction created with the help of flamboyant designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has reopened after closing because of complaints.

The 44-year-old former Celtic boss will be assisted by Garry Parker at Easter Road. The Northern Irishman has been out of work since parting company with Bolton in March. He succeeds Alan Stubbs, who left for Rotherham United last week after two seasons in charge, culminating in a Scottish Cup final triumph. "As soon as Neil was identified as the outstanding candidate we were determined to bring him to Easter Road," said Hibs chief executive Leeann Dempster. "He has managed at a very high level, taking Celtic to the last 16 of the Champions League, and we were attracted by his ability to get the most out of players and his driven, winning mentality." Lennon served Celtic as a midfielder for six-and-a-half years, winning five Scottish titles and six domestic cups to add to the two League Cups he won with Leicester. After a spell back in English football with Nottingham Forest and Wycombe Wanderers, Lennon rejoined Celtic as a coach in 2008, taking over as manager in 2010. He enjoyed further success at Celtic Park with three successive top-flight titles and two Scottish Cup triumphs before leaving in the summer of 2014. A move to Bolton followed later that year and, although Wanderers initially improved under Lennon, they were bottom of the Championship by the time he left, with the side eventually relegated. Hibs have spent the last two seasons in Scotland's second tier and missed out on promotion to the Premiership after a play-off semi-final defeat by Falkirk, having also lost out at the same stage of the play-offs in 2015. But after ending their 114-year wait to win the Scottish Cup, the Edinburgh club will enter the Europa League qualifying rounds, with their first match on 14 July. Englishman Parker, 50, was a team-mate of Lennon's at Leicester and was part of his coaching team at both Celtic and Bolton. Hibs have called a media conference for 14:00 BST on Thursday.

Summary: Neil Lennon has been confirmed as the new manager of Hibernian after signing a two-year deal.


Surrey Police said two teenage girls were waiting at a bus stop half way along Rydens Road, in Walton-on-Thames, when a man approached them and touched one of the girls on the bottom. He then went into some nearby bushes and exposed himself. He is described as white, in his mid 20s and about 6ft tall. He had short ginger or blonde hair and wonky teeth. The incident happened at 19:30 BST on Thursday. Det Con Ben Kirby said: "Prior to this incident, the girls had been travelling on the 461 bus to Walton town centre. However, it had broken down so they were waiting for another bus to continue their journey. "We would like to speak to anyone who was on this bus as they might have information which will help us to identify this individual."

Summary: A man targeted two teenagers waiting at a bus stop by sexually touching one and exposing himself in some nearby bushes.


The watercolour, attributed to Queen Victoria's favourite artist Sir Edwin Landseer, was sold by JP Humbert of Whittlebury, Northamptonshire. The painting has attracted both firm supporters and those who doubt whether it does depict the Brontes. It was sold to a collector who plans to do more research and resell it. Bidding took off just 15 minutes before the end of the "timed" online auction with the painting sold for £40,550 hammer price (£50,038 including buyers premium) to an private investor believed to be based in the UK. Auctioneer Jonathan Humbert said: "We are very pleased our theory has been accepted and endorsed by the establishment. "The evidence was compelling that this is the Brontes as painted by Landseer and its successful sale has proved that research and factual evidence will overcome apathy and negativity." Mr Humbert had decided to pull the picture, which he believes to be of "national importance", from an auction in 2012 so more research could be done. Landseer was a popular Victorian painter best known for his animal portraits and designing the bronze lions in London's Trafalgar Square. The Bronte family moved to Haworth, West Yorkshire, in 1820 where the Reverend Patrick Bronte was appointed Curate of Haworth. They lived at the Haworth Parsonage from 1820 to 1861, which is now the Bronte Parsonage Museum.

Summary: A painting claimed to be a previously unknown portrait of the three Bronte sisters has sold for more than £40,000 at auction.

The growing problem needs "an urgent response" coordinated by the Home Office, NAO head Sir Amyas Morse said. Almost two million cyber-related fraud incidents were estimated to have taken place last year, it added. The Home Office said government, the police and industry were working together to tackle the problem. Sir Amyas said the Home Office, while not solely responsible for tackling the issue, was the only organisation that could oversee the system and lead change. The Home Office's Joint Fraud Taskforce, which was launched in February 2016, was a positive step "but there is still much work to be done", he said. "At this stage it is hard to judge that the response to online fraud is proportionate, efficient or effective." Analysis: BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw According to the Office for National Statistics, fraud is now the most commonly experienced crime in England and Wales, with most offences committed online. But the National Audit Office says only one in every 150 police officers specialises in fraud - and it doesn't even feature in a third of the policing plans issued by local police and crime commissioners. The NAO also criticises a Home Office taskforce set up last year to tackle online fraud, saying it's too focused on banking, lacks proper governance and hasn't established measures for its performance. The Home Office says the taskforce is making a positive difference but it acknowledges there's more to do. In the year to 30 September 2016, the Office for National Statistics estimated there were 1.9 million cyber-fraud incidents in England and Wales, or 16% of all estimated crime incidents. Online fraud includes criminals accessing citizens' and businesses' bank accounts, using their credit card details, or tricking them into transferring money. The report said: "Fraud is now the most commonly experienced crime in England and Wales, is growing rapidly and demands an urgent response. "Yet fraud is not a strategic priority for local police forces and the response from industry is uneven." The Home Office said that tackling online fraud "demands a collaborative and innovative response to keep pace with the emerging threat", which is why it had launched the Joint Fraud Taskforce. Improved data-sharing between banks and law enforcement had closed thousands of accounts linked to fraud, it said, adding that it was working with Financial Fraud Action UK on its Take Five to Stop Fraud awareness campaign. Tom Ironside of the British Retail Consortium said: "The retail industry strongly supports a much closer partnership between the government, law enforcement and industry to tackle online fraud."

Summary: Online fraud has been "overlooked" by the government, police and business, according to public spending watchdog the National Audit Office.


The body of Ananda Gopal Ganguly, 70, was found in a field near his temple in western Jhenaidah district. His head had been nearly severed from his neck. Separately, police have killed three suspected Islamists in a crackdown on extremists blamed for the murders. Critics say the government is in denial about the killings, most of which have been blamed on or claimed by Islamists. Two alleged members of the banned Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) were shot dead in Dhaka when police raided a home in the city - police said unidentified gunmen opened fire on them. A third - said to have been linked to a recent bombing of an Ahmadiya mosque - was killed in western Rashahi district. Who is behind the Bangladesh killings? Is extremism on the rise in Bangladesh? Lurching from secularism to sectarian terror? Ananda Gopal Ganguly is the third person to be killed in such an attack in the past two days. "He left home this morning saying that he was going to a Hindu house to offer prayers," deputy police chief Gopinath Kanjilal told AFP news agency. "Later, farmers found his near-decapitated body in a rice field." The Middle East-based Islamic State militant group says it carried out the killing, but a government spokesman told the BBC that all the recent attacks were the work of domestic extremists. On Sunday the wife of a senior police officer investigating the attacks and a Christian businessman were killed. Police say more than 40 people have been killed since January last year in the wave of attacks on those seen by extremists as offensive to Islam. The government insists that Islamic State does not have a presence in Bangladesh and has tended to blame the opposition and local militant groups. Critics have accused the government of failing to properly address the violence in Bangladesh. The grim list of those who have fallen victim to attacks by Islamist militants in Bangladesh is growing ever more diverse. Secular bloggers, academics, gay rights activists, and members of religious minorities including Shia, Sufi and Ahmadi Muslims, Christians and Hindus have all been killed, many of them hacked to death. A university professor whose family said he was not an atheist was murdered in April, suggesting the list of those at risk had widened further. Who exactly is behind the attacks remains murky. Bangladesh has myriad extremist groups and there have been few convictions over the attacks. Bangladesh has disputed claims by so-called Islamic State (IS) or al-Qaeda-linked groups for the attacks, instead often blaming opposition parties or local Islamist groups. But until the killings stop the government itself will face accusations of not doing enough to protect minorities in the Sunni-dominated nation.

Summary: A Hindu priest has been killed in Bangladesh, in the latest attack by Islamist militants.


The road closed for a time last week after a landslip during Storm Frank. It closed again on Monday amid concerns about the boulder, which is about 175m above the carriageway. The Old Military Road diversion, which was in use since 09:00, closed at 16:30. An alternative diversion via Dalmally will be in place overnight. In a statement, roads operator Bear Scotland, said that efforts to make safe the boulder had been been "ongoing since first light this morning". "A helicopter bringing materials to site was delayed reaching the area due to inclement weather but the specialist teams have now begun to install the anchors required to remove the boulder safely," Bear said. "Good progress has been made and preparatory works should be completed today ready for works to make safe the boulder to take place tomorrow morning." Bear said the "monitoring process cannot continue safely during the hours of darkness and the Old Military Road will close at 4:30pm this evening and reopen at 9:00am tomorrow". During this time, the diversion via Dalmally and Crianlarich will be reinstated. Overnight, the A83 will remain open from Inveraray to the B828 junction, allowing continued access to Lochgoilhead, Dunoon and the ferries to Gourock. At the south side of the closure, access is available from Tarbet to Ardgartan.

Summary: The A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful in Argyll has been closed overnight as efforts continue to make safe a 150 tonne boulder on the hillside.


Armenians say up to 1.5 million of their people died in the atrocities of 1915. Turkey says the toll was much lower and rejects the term "genocide". The vote heightened German-Turkish tensions at a time when Turkey's help is needed to stem the flow of migrants. Turkey has recalled its ambassador and its leader threatened further action. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the recall was a first step and that the government would consider further action it might take in response to the vote. "We will do whatever is necessary to resolve this issue," he said. In the latest response: Armenian 'genocide' vote ignites press More than 20 nations, including France and Russia, as well as Pope Francis, have recognised the 1915 killings as genocide. Turkey denies that there was a systematic campaign to slaughter Armenians as an ethnic group during World War One. It also points out that many Turkish civilians died in the turmoil during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Mrs Merkel was not in the Bundestag (lower house) for the vote. Her Christian Democrats (CDU), their coalition partners the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens all supported the resolution, and the vote in favour was overwhelming. German MPs came under pressure from Turks in the run-up to the vote, receiving threatening and abusive e-mails, German ARD news reports. The resolution uses the word "genocide" in the headline and text. It also says Germany - at the time an ally of the Ottomans - bears some guilt for doing nothing to stop the killings. The reactions from Ankara are every bit as strong as feared. Turkey's foreign minister even accused Berlin of trying to deflect from the dark episodes of its own history, a clear reference to Germany's Nazi past. But for many German politicians this vote was about exactly the opposite: it was about dealing with not just Turkey's difficult 20th century history, but also Germany's. Many of the speeches in parliament focused on German responsibility in the 1915 killings. At the time, the German empire was a military ally of the Ottomans, and is accused of knowing about the massacres and not doing anything to prevent them. So for many Germans this resolution is about facing up to German historical guilt - something modern Germany is founded upon. But the big question is what this all means for Europe's attempts to solve the migrant crisis. Diplomatic relations may be strained. But the hope in Berlin is that tensions don't scupper the EU's new refugee deal with Turkey. Under a deal struck in March, Turkey agreed to take back migrants - including Syrians - arriving on Greek islands, in return for EU aid and a pledge to give Turks visa-free travel to most of Europe. Germany accepted 1.1 million migrants last year - by far the highest influx in the EU. German-Turkish relations were also strained this year by the case of comedian Jan Boehmermann, whose obscene poem about Mr Erdogan prompted a criminal complaint from the Turkish leader. Last month a court in Hamburg ruled that Boehmermann's

Summary: The German parliament has approved a resolution declaring that the mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks during World War One was a "genocide".


The Denmark international, 29, played in all 38 of the Foxes' league fixtures last season, keeping 15 clean sheets. He has made more than 200 appearances for Leicester since arriving from Leeds United in 2011, having started his career at Manchester City. "We've taken some massive steps and ever since I arrived it's been fantastic," Schmeichel told LCFC TV. "It was a case of coming back after winning the Premier League and making sure that the hunger was the same within myself and the squad. I've come back absolutely convinced that this is the place for me to be." Boss Claudio Ranieri has said the club will not sell anymore of their best players after N'Golo Kante joined Chelsea last month. England forward Jamie Vardy also signed a new deal with the champions in June, ending speculation that the 29-year-old would join Arsenal. The Foxes begin their season with the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday, when they face FA Cup winners Manchester United.

Jagdish Singh said it was "troubling" to find out that tallow - derived from beef or mutton, but sometimes pork - was used to manufacture the fiver. He joined a number of Hindus in urging the notes be banned from temples, where meat products are forbidden. A petition to ban the new £5 notes has attracted more than 100,000 signatures. It calls on the Bank of England to "cease to use animal products in the production of currency that we have to use". Hosted on the Change.org website, it states that tallow is "unacceptable to millions of vegans, vegetarians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others in the UK". The Bank of England began issuing the polymer notes in September pledging they "last longer, stay cleaner and are harder to counterfeit than paper notes". Its only response so far to the petition has been in a statement to "confirm that the polymer pellet from which the base substrate is made contains a trace of a substance known as tallow". Critics say there are plant-based substitutes that could be used in its place. The response from the UK's Hindu and Sikh communities began to gather pace after vegans and vegetarians voiced their feelings on social media on Tuesday. Hindus believe cows are holy and sacred, and many do not wear shoes or carry bags made from the skin of cattle that has been slaughtered. Practising Sikhs are strict vegetarians. Speaking to the BBC's Asian Network, Coventry-based Mr Singh said: "Every time I come across a £5 note I'll be reminded that it contains meat by-product." He said no animal by-product should breach the sanctity of a gurdwara [Sikh temple]. Gauri Das, managing director at the Bhaktivedanta Manor Hindu temple in Watford, is calling for the notes to be banned from his site immediately. "Our temples prosper on the charity of all of our members," he said. "Our ethos is not to harm animals. It's problematic for us because we're implicated in the process. So it's immediately become a matter of concern for our community." Meanwhile, the president of one of the largest Hindu temples in Leicester has urged worshippers not to give charitable donations with the new £5. Vibhooti Acharya, from the Shree Sanatan Mandir temple, said it was a "matter of choice" but it would be putting up notices to make the community aware of the situation. She added: "There needs to be a decision made between committee as to whether we accept £5 notes in religious ceremonies in future."

Summary: The revelation the UK's new plastic £5 note contains a small amount of animal fat is "extremely offensive", a Sikh activist has said.


And to be fair, he was telling them in a state where anyone who tried to do so would probably be arrested, or at least stared down. He told his crowd of supporters to do that because - he said - the votes would not be properly counted. His line throughout this campaign has been that the system is skewed against him and that he would be cheated out of a win. The line would sound shocking if it weren't vintage Trump. The candidate for president has said he will decide on the day whether to accept the results of the actual election. But curiously, the call to "re-vote" is not as crazy as it sounds. There are seven US states in which the practice is perfectly legal. In Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York and Connecticut. If you have a change of heart, you can go back and do it again. There are some restrictions. In Minnesota, it must be done by the week before. In Wisconsin you can only (only) go three times. In Pennsylvania you can change right up to election day itself - but you have to do so in person. Few people make use of this curious loophole, but Donald Trump wants to exploit it to the full - telling Democrats who already voted for Clinton before the FBI reinvestigation to "go back and vote again". Presumably he has thought through the ramifications. It works both ways after all. Emily Maitlis is presenting BBC Newsnight's coverage of the US presidential election.

Summary: The first time I heard Donald Trump in Colorado call on voters who had already voted to go back and vote again, I nearly fell off my chair.


Media playback is not supported on this device Warner, 26, was suspended until the first Ashes Test on 10 July and fined £7,000 (AU $11,500) after the incident early on Sunday morning. "I struck Joe Root in the face and I'm here to apologise to Joe and own up to it," Warner told a media conference. A kid from the back blocks with a strong personality, Warner is outgoing, likes talking to people and always has an opinion. He is popular with his team-mates and respected in the dressing room. He has that lively and nocturnal side to his personality. But he is 26 now, and off the field he needs to change. "I'm extremely remorseful. I have let my team-mates, Cricket Australia, the fans, myself and my family down." Warner will now miss the remainder of his country's Champions Trophy campaign and the tour matches against Somerset and Worcestershire, although he is eligible for the first Test at Trent Bridge. He added: "I have accepted the punishment that has been handed down and I'm accountable for my actions. "Since then I have exchanged text messages with Joe. He accepted my apology which I am thoroughly grateful for." Warner, who has played in 19 Test matches for his country, was dropped for Australia's Champions Trophy game against New Zealand on Wednesday as a punishment. He could have been sent home from the tour after pleading guilty to a charge of "unbecoming behaviour". Australia captain Michael Clarke admitted Warner's behaviour was unacceptable. Media playback is not supported on this device "Although the punishment for David is quite harsh that's the reality when you play for the Australian cricket team," said Clarke. "This is not an IPL team, this is not state cricket, it's not county cricket. When you play for Australia there are standards you have to uphold. His actions have not met the standard required of an Australian cricketer." Warner's suspension means he will miss valuable match-practice as he aims to end a poor run of form. He has made seven single-figure scores in his last nine innings while playing for Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League and one-day internationals for Australia. This incident is not the first time Warner has been in trouble with Cricket Australia, and last month he was fined £3,700 for a foul-mouthed Twitter exchange with two Australian journalists. Warner admitted he needed to improve his behaviour and said: "I've got to be a bit smarter with what I do on and off the field. Hopefully I will still have a part to play in the Ashes."

Summary: Australia batsman David Warner has apologised for punching England's Joe Root in the face in a Birmingham bar.


Amy El-Keria was found hanged in her room at the Priory Hospital, Ticehurst, after tying a scarf around her neck. The inquest in Horsham heard staff were not trained in resuscitation and did not call 999 quickly enough. The jury said Amy died of unintended consequences of a deliberate act, contributed to by neglect. It said staffing levels were inadequate, and a lack of one-to-one time caused or contributed to the teenager's death in November 2012 in a "significant" way. Amy had a complex range of problems and mental health diagnoses, and died within three months of being moved to the Priory after being asked to leave her specialist boarding school in Berkshire. The inquest heard that while at school she had drawn a picture of herself hanging with the words: "If only this could happen, but I haven't got the guts." She made several attempts to end her life in early 2012, and was deemed high-risk when she was admitted to the hospital. The inquest was told hospital staff had not always been able to give the teenager one-to-one time due to pressure on wards. Jurors found that risk assessments were not properly carried out, staff did not assess the risk of Amy being able to take her own life in her room and opportunities were missed to remove the scarf from her. A delay in checking on her on the evening she died also contributed significantly to her death. Speaking after the inquest, Amy's mother, Tania El-Keria, said: "For 14 years we kept Amy safe. In less than three months under the care of the Priory she was dead. "If I had treated Amy and neglected her needs in the way Ticehurst House did, she would have been taken away from me." Dr Sylvia Tang, Priory Group medical director, said: "We would like to offer an unreserved apology and our heartfelt sympathies to Amy's family. "Following the incident, we undertook an extensive investigation and strengthened a number of our procedures at the hospital. "We will now review the findings of the inquest very carefully and consider whether further improvements can be made including in relation to staffing, care plans and risk assessments," she said.

Summary: The death of a 14-year-old girl may have been prevented if she had received proper care at a Sussex mental health hospital, according to an inquest jury.


The women's game attracted crowds of more than 50,000 before the FA move in 1921. To celebrate International Women's Day, the 37-year-old took part in a Q&A session in her role as BBC Sport's guest editor. She discussed topics such as Manchester United's lack of a senior women's team and England's hopes for Euro 2017, along with the CBeebies show Footy Pups, which Yankey hosts in a bid to help encourage a new generation of sports stars. BBC presenters Clare Balding, Gabby Logan and Jess Creighton were among those to fire questions at the former winger. What would women's football look like now if the FA had not banned it and what improvements would she like to see? (Clare Balding) Wow, what a fantastic question! It's a tricky one to answer. No one really knows but I'd like to think the attendances and participation levels would be on a par with the men's game. And to the follow up question, I would love to see the standard of play improve to make the game more attractive as a spectator sport. And of course the amount of coverage within the media could always be better. Can England women win the 2019 World Cup? (Gabby Logan) The Euros this year will be a massive challenge for the team but with two more years of experience, who knows what can happen. Hopefully with talent like [forward] Georgia Stanway from Manchester City coming through, the team will have a bright future! What can England take away from their 1-0 defeat by Germany in the SheBelieves Cup? (Jess Creighton) I don't think it's a bad result at all. I think if you take a look at where England are in preparation, obviously our league hasn't started yet. The French and German teams are in season so our players are naturally not as match fit as everyone else. Losing 1-0 to Germany… in years gone by I've been on the side losing by many more goals than one. The real test now is in the Euros. It's a chance for [manager] Mark Sampson and the squad to gel as a team and for him to look at his players and make a difficult selection for the Euros. The difficult thing now is the expectation and the players have to take that on their shoulders. That's the hard thing to handle and it's more than just going out on the field and playing. Why not dream big? We saw that with [Premier League champions] Leicester. What do you think about a club like Manchester United which does not have a senior women's team? (Martinez Anibiko Koosa) I imagine as a football club run as a business that somebody didn't see having a women's team as a financial business idea. Hopefully things will change because Manchester United are a huge club in world football. If they were to get on board and have a women's first team that would really show a massive turnaround because they had one many years ago. The fact they have a pretty good youth department

Summary: Former Arsenal and England winger Rachel Yankey believes that women's football attendances and participation would be on par with the men's game if it had not effectively been banned by the Football Association for 50 years.


Mohammed Siddique, 60, and his son Mohammed Waqar, 24, admitted wilful cruelty to a child under 16. The four attacks took place at the Jamia Mosque in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, between May and June 2014, Birmingham Crown Court heard. The pair, from the Tyseley area of the city, also face a teaching ban. Sam Forsyth, prosecuting, said the victim was beaten with a plastic stick and given back-of-the-hand slaps by each of his tutors for "talking in the classroom" at a Birmingham Islamic centre. The boy was hit during four separate incidents, with photographs of his injuries showing "extensive" bruising to the back of his legs. Miss Forsyth said the boy had been left distressed by the experience. He told police "Waqar would call him names like 'paedo'," in the classroom, Miss Forsyth added. "He describes how this has had a great effect on him, causing him to lose hair as he was getting very stressed," she said. "When he was bruised he would try and hide them with clothing even in very hot weather and make excuses not to go to the centre, such as having tummy ache." Charanjit Jutla, defending, said both defendants were men of previous good character and deeply regretted their conduct. Judge Mark Wall QC told them: "These were not assaults committed in ignorance of how inappropriate it was to use corporal punishment such as this." He added: "Acts of brutality of this sort which you each indulged in, with a stick, will not be tolerated."

Summary: Two Islamic school teachers who beat a 10-year-old boy with a stick for reciting the Koran incorrectly have been jailed for a year.


There are political reasons for that, but there is concern that the delays will hit foreign investment, which is a problem for the current account. It's not very fashionable to care about the current account, but there are particular reasons to be looking at it now. The current account is worked out by adding up the goods and services a country exports and the income earned for the UK by overseas investments (that's things like profits, dividends and interest payments). Then you subtract the goods and services the UK imports, income paid overseas for investments in the UK and payment of things like international aid. The figure you get is the current account, and if the answer is negative then you have a current account deficit. The UK has had a continuous current account deficit since 1984. Since 2011, it has widened considerably. In the first three months of 2016, it was 6.9% of national income or £32.6bn. A current account deficit means a country depends on being able to borrow money overseas and on foreign companies wanting to invest in the UK. That hasn't been a huge problem so far. In 2014, there was £27.8bn of foreign direct investment in the UK, according to the Office for National Statistics, which was mentioned during the referendum campaign as about £880 a second. About 18 months ago, former BBC economics editor Robert Peston warned that the current account deficit was "the UK's Achilles heel", but added that the silver lining was "that the latest figures show a big increase in the profits of foreign-owned UK companies". Sushil Wadhwani said when he was a member of the Bank of England's rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee that current account deficits "appear not to matter until, well, they suddenly do". And what would make them suddenly matter would be something that happened that made overseas companies think twice about investing in the UK. Or if there were a reduction in other countries' confidence in the pound - confidence is important if you are running a big current account deficit. If you try to run a current account deficit without confidence then you get a sterling crisis and the value of the pound falls further. The good news is that a weaker pound makes imports more expensive and exports cheaper, which should narrow the deficit, but you wouldn't want it to fall too far. Chancellor George Osborne has spoken about the economy being in a good state to cope with the challenges ahead because the budget deficit has been falling. But the current account deficit has been growing, and on Monday, Mr Osborne said: "It is already evident that as a result of Thursday's decision, some firms are continuing to pause their decisions to invest or to hire people." He blamed the uncertainty about the UK's future relationship with the European Union for those delays. In the context of the current account, some certainty sooner rather than later would be desirable. Read more: The facts behind claims about our relationship with the EU

Summary: There is no sign of anybody triggering Article 50 to begin the UK's process of leaving the European Union.


Lee Joon-seok, 68, is accused of leaving the ship as it was sinking while telling passengers to stay put, reports Yonhap news agency. He was among the first to be rescued by coast guards at the scene. The Sewol ferry disaster on 16 April killed 281 passengers, most of whom were high school students. Another 23 are still missing. Besides Mr Lee, three crew members - the chief engineer, the chief mate and the second mate - are also being charged with manslaughter. If convicted, they could face life imprisonment. "The [four people charged] escaped before the passengers, leading to grave casualties," prosecutor Ahn Sang-don told journalists. Prosecutors have indicted another 11 crew members for negligence. Only 172 passengers survived the sinking of the ferry, including 22 of the 29 crew members. Meanwhile, the results of an interim investigation has found that a sharp turn was the main cause of the sinking, Yonhap said. The Sewol "made a sharp turn at a 15 degree angle before tilting and capsizing", Yonhap reported, quoting police and prosecution officials. The overloading of cargo and the lack of water in ballast tanks to balance the load made recovery from its sharp turn difficult, officials added. The captain of the ferry was not on the bridge when the ferry capsized, with a third mate at the helm. The authorities have also arrested several people who were not on the ferry at the time of the sinking. These include five officials of the ferry owner, Chonghaejin Marine Company, and an employee of a private safety device inspection company. The latter is suspected of conducting poor inspections of the ferry's safety equipment. South Korea is looking to reform its safety and emergency response system in the wake of the ferry's sinking. President Park Geun-hye said on Tuesday that the government would soon release details of this move, said Yonhap. She has previously apologised for the way the government handled the incident, amid questions over the initial rescue effort. Following the recent death of a civilian rescue diver, Seoul also plans to provide psychological help for rescue workers "suffering from physical and mental agony", said local media. It comes amid reports the ship, submerged for nearly a month, has begun to deteriorate, making it even more difficult for divers to search for bodies. Officials said that divers had spotted walls "getting weaker and about to collapse". Rescue workers are now plotting new routes through the hull. Earlier reports said that some bodies had floated away from the ship, prompting workers to deploy nets around the site.

Summary: The captain of the sunken South Korean ferry has been charged with manslaughter, reports say.


Actions required to meet that target have been set out in a study for WWF Scotland, Friends of the Earth Scotland and RSPB Scotland. The environmental groups have now called on the Scottish government to bring forward the necessary policies. Ministers said the report was a "useful contribution" to the energy debate. The report, based on independent analysis by Ricardo Energy and Environment, is called "The Energy of Scotland: Heating, moving and powering our lives from now to 2030". It sets out how Scotland's climate targets could be met in "the most cost-effective way". It found that to achieve these goals, half of all the country's energy will need to come from renewables by the end of the next decade. The report suggested that by 2030: It said other benefits would include the "creation of new jobs; warmer, healthier homes; and cleaner air helping reduce the burden on the NHS". WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "This report shows that a 50% renewables target for all our energy needs by 2030 is not only needed, but that it is achievable. "Ministers should now make this a Scottish government target and bring in the policies needed in its forthcoming energy strategy. "Doing so would enable Scotland to enjoy the many economic and social benefits that the report suggests would take place as result of generating half of all our energy needs from renewables. "Scotland is already seeing the economic and social benefits of shifting our electricity system to clean, climate-friendly, renewables generation." He added: "However, with electricity accounting for just one quarter of our energy use, it's time to begin to reap the same benefits by increasing the use of renewables in our heat and transport sectors." The Scottish government has already achieved a target to reduce emissions by at least 42% by 2020. It also aims to generate 100% of Scotland's electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: "The Scottish government welcomes this report, which is a useful contribution to the ongoing debate around the future of energy in Scotland." Chief executive of Scottish Renewables Niall Stuart said it was time to "lift our horizons and set an ambitious target to drive investment in renewable heat, power and transport through the 2020s". He added: "This report echoes Scottish Renewables' call for a new 50% renewable energy target and, importantly, concludes that this is both achievable and key to meeting our climate change targets." The Scottish government will publish its third climate change plan in the new year, setting out how it intends to meet emissions targets between now and 2032, and work towards a long-term reduction of 80% on 1990 levels by 2050. It will also publish a new energy strategy looking at the transition to a low-carbon economy. Scottish Labour economy spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said: "Labour welcome this report which shows Scotland is well placed to fulfil our ambition to green our future energy use. "That's why we have an aspiration to generate 50% of our heat and transport demand from renewables by 2030 and ensure that

Summary: Producing half of Scotland's energy needs using renewable technology by 2030 is an achievable goal, according to a new report.


Listen to Gemma's BBC Radio 1 documentary on the BBC iPlayer. The mantra of the Games was to create an Olympic legacy to "Inspire a Generation", making sure that sport is accessible for everybody. But there are still lots of barriers to young people in sport: money, gender and family - and how about just trying to be a normal young person? How do you balance training, school work and your social life? I've been able to look into these issues for a special BBC Radio 1 documentary as part of the Radio 1 Stories documentary strand. Making the documentary was a great learning experience as I heard from Usain Bolt, Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Greg Rutherford, Gemma Gibbons, the Brownlee brothers, Karina Bryant and quite a few more about what it takes to make it to the top of the podium. But I also discovered how hard it is to grow up attempting to become an elite athlete, thanks to the touching stories of four people who are smashing down barriers to follow their Olympic dream. There's Aaron Turner, a 21-year-old judoka who struggles to make ends meet with the cost of training. Read the full BBC survey on Olympic legacy Kyle Powell is a T45 Paralympic sprinter who had to move away from his friends and family to give himself the best shot. Mercy Brown is a female weightlifter from Tower Hamlets, making her way in a sport that is traditionally dominated by men. And finally, Dan Neilson, a showjumper who used to box and play football but now loves this unconventional sport for a 21-year-old. But the Olympic impact wasn't only felt by elite athletes - you didn't even have to be good at sport to be inspired. A couple of months ago I found myself in the unlikely scenario of doing a 10K run. Stomp, stomp, stomp, I pounded along, desperate for it to be over, but not stopping nevertheless. My only training had been momentary jogging spurts, (endorphin chasing, I call it), a 'one lap' jog around my local patch of grass. To give myself the tiniest bit of credit, I do sometimes go to the gym - my trainer their calls me 'Bambi' as my balancing ability is abysmal. Some people at the gym think I'm unhinged because I'll often be vocally repeating the mantra of finding life's 'balance'. But I figure that if the joy I find in food can be matched by an hour's exercise and wipe out the post-indulgence guilt, then why not try? Media playback is not supported on this device Despite being terrified on the day of my 10k, I was invigorated by how many people had signed up to do it. It lifted me and forced me not to stop. The velocity of sport in numbers I find giddy. There is a new high to be found in looking after yourself and engaging in sport and fitness. In the UK 1.4 million more people are playing sport regularly since the bid to host the Olympics was won in 2005. If

The 59-year-old spent last season at the Daggers under boss John Still, whom he worked with at Luton. Harris has become Wood boss Luke Garrard's number two on an undisclosed-length contract. "I can bring experience with me because I have been very fortunate during my time with John Still," Harris said. He added to the club's official website: "If you are a number two then you are the eyes and ears of the players and you certainly have an input into the coaching side and an input into the game management side and, as I said, I have been fortunate in the clubs that I have been with. "With Dagenham, for instance, we got out of the Ryman league and then we got out of the Conference, as it called then, and we then took Dagenham into League One in the Play-off final against Rotherham."

Summary: National League side Boreham Wood have named former Luton, Stevenage and Dagenham coach Terry Harris as the club's new assistant manager.


He was just 0.033 seconds quicker than Rosberg as the dust settles on the controversy following their collision at Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix. Mercedes say the drivers are on their "last warning" and risk "financial and sporting penalties" if they crash together again. Hamilton is 11 points behind Rosberg in the championship going into the race. Force India's Nico Hulkenberg was third fastest, 0.8secs behind the Mercedes and just 0.009secs ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel. Even at this early stage, the margin between Mercedes and the rest suggests they will be in a world of their own this weekend, a continuation of the recent trend that has seen any sense of a threat from Ferrari evaporate. And Vettel - who tested the new 'halo' cockpit safety system during the session - coasted into the pits at the end with what appeared to be a gearbox problem. Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was fifth fastest, despite a wobble through Vale corner at the end of his lap, and ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, who it was announced before practice will stay with the Italian team for another season in 2017. Red Bull's Max Verstappen was seventh, ahead of the second Force India of Sergio Perez, Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz and the McLaren of Fernando Alonso, whose team-mate Jenson Button was 12th, behind the other Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat. Alonso said before the weekend that McLaren were hoping for a step forward at Silverstone thanks to the circuit suiting their car better than recent races and a step forward in engine performance thanks to an intake/induction upgrade from Honda. Englishman Jolyon Palmer was 17th fastest at his first British Grand Prix, 0.8secs ahead of reserve driver Esteban Ocon, who was driving Kevin Magnussen's car in the first session.

Kieran Davies will serve at least 19 years before being eligible for parole. He was earlier found guilty of attacking Ashley Hawkins with a hammer and a metal bar during the murder in Scotland Street in December last year. Davies and Mr Hawkins had arrived in the city from Wales as friends but before the attack the victim said Davies had held a knife to his throat. Addressing Davies, 28, at the High Court in Edinburgh, Lord Boyd said: "You have been convicted on the clearest evidence of a particularly brutal murder. "You continue to deny your guilt and you have shown little remorse." The judge acknowledged that Davies had a difficult upbringing and told him: "You have not had the chances in life that may have set you on a different path." But he added: "None of that excuses or mitigates the dreadful nature of this offence." Davies had denied murdering Mr Hawkins on 2 December. After he was found guilty of the crime he told security staff to take him down to the cells as the judge addressed him and accused the prosecutor of framing him. The final stage of the trial took place in the murderer's absence as Lord Boyd told jurors: "Murder cases are always difficult. They are emotionally draining for everybody involved in it." Police were called to the flat in the early hours of the morning after neighbours heard banging and shouting coming from inside. One witness said he was aware of 15 to 20 bangs and screams which had stopped by the end of the disturbance. Police found Mr Hawkins, 32, from Barry, South Wales, dead in the flat with catastrophic head injuries. Unemployed Davies was the only other occupant in the locked property and was found topless, wearing jogging bottoms and trainers which were extensively stained with Mr Hawkins' blood. A Reebok top, which Davies had earlier been seen wearing, was found in a washing machine, saturated with the victim's blood, along with brain tissue. The court heard Mr Hawkins had suffered at least 24 blows to the head, and a metal pole and broken hammer recovered from the flat could have been used as weapons in the attack. Davies, a prisoner in Edinburgh, had also repeatedly stamped and kicked him on the head and body. Prosecutor David Taylor had told jurors: "When police came into that locked flat there were two people there _ one alive, covered in blood and one dead, violently murdered. There is no mystery in this case." Davies told police that he had taken valium and claimed that he also taken heroin and ecstasy. A blood test later proved negative for ecstasy and opiate drugs but gave an indication that he had taken diazepam and cannabis. Davies claimed he was unconscious at the time of the killing. Defence counsel Keith Stewart QC, said: "He maintains his position that he does not remember anything that happened in the flat." He asked the judge to deal with Davies on the basis that the murder was not a premeditated crime. He earlier

Summary: A man who bludgeoned his former best friend to death at a flat in Edinburgh has been jailed for life.


Researchers say the growth continued in 2014 and more than compensated for losses recorded in the three previous years. The scientists involved believe changes in summer temperatures have greater impacts on ice than thought. But they say 2013 was a one-off and that climate change will continue to shrink the ice in the decades ahead. The Arctic region has warmed more than most other parts of the planet over the past 30 years. Satellite observations have documented a decrease of around 40% in the extent of sea ice cover in the Arctic since 1980. But while the extent of the retreating ice has been well recorded, the key indicator that scientists want to understand is the loss of sea ice volume. Researchers have been able to use data gathered by Europe's Cryosat satellite over the past five years to answer this question. This polar monitoring spacecraft has a sophisticated radar system that allows scientists to accurately estimate the volume. The researchers used 88 million measurements of sea ice thickness from Cryosat and found that between 2010 and 2012, the volume of sea ice went down by 14%. They published their initial findings at the end of 2013 - but have now refined and updated them to include data from 2014 as well. Relative to the average of the period between 2010 and 2012, the scientists found that there was a 33% increase in sea ice volume in 2013, while in 2014 there was still a quarter more sea ice than there was between 2010 and 2012. "We looked at various climate forcing factors, we looked at the snow loading, we looked at wind convergence and the melt season length of the previous summer," lead author Rachel Tilling, from University College London, told BBC News. "We found that the the highest correlation by far was with the melt season length - and over the summer of 2013, it was the coolest of the five years we have seen, and we believe that's why there was more multi-year ice left at the end of summer." The researchers found the colder temperatures allowed more multi-year ice to persist north-west of Greenland because there were simply fewer days when it could melt. Temperature records indicate that the summer was about 5% cooler than 2012. The scientists believe that the more accurate measurements that they have now published show that sea ice is more sensitive to changes than previously thought. They argue that while some could see this as a positive, when temperatures are cooler it leads to an increase in sea ice, it could also be a negative when the mercury goes up. "It would suggest that sea ice is more resilient perhaps - if you get one year of cooler temperatures, we've almost wound the clock back a few years on this gradual decline that's been happening over decades," said Rachel Tilling. "The long-term trend of the ice volume is downwards and the long-term trend of the temperatures in the Arctic is upwards and this finding doesn't give us any reason to disbelieve that -

Summary: The volume of Arctic sea ice increased by around a third after an unusually cool summer in 2013.


Connacht's Lam will join this summer as the long-term replacement to former boss Andy Robinson, who was sacked in November, and will be assisted by Connacht backs coach Conor McPhillips. Bakewell, who signed a two-year deal at Bristol in 2016, will work with them. The New Zealander was previously Bath's forwards coach between 2006 and 2009. "I've spoken to Pat," Bakewell told BBC Radio Bristol. "I'm here next season, so I'm really looking forward to that. "At this stage, what I would love to be able to do for Pat and everyone is keep Bristol in the Premiership. That's our focus at the moment." Bristol are bottom of the Premiership with five matches remaining, having won three of their 17 league games since returning to the top flight. In February it was confirmed that Mark Tainton - interim head coach since Robinson's departure - is to become Bristol's chief operations officer at the end of the season, overseeing recruitment once Lam arrives.

Summary: Bristol forwards coach Mark Bakewell has said he will stay on the club's coaching staff when Pat Lam joins as head coach at the end of the season.


The damning report found a "worrying loss of confidence and competence" within the federation and a "serious loss of influence" outside. It said the way the federation, which represents officers, had opposed police reforms and launched personal attacks were "strategic failures". The review was set up after criticism in the wake of the "plebgate" affair. Meanwhile the federation's chairman has apologised to the former cabinet minister, Andrew Mitchell, for the actions of an officer who has admitted lying over his involvement in the saga. The federation, which represents about 127,000 officers at the rank chief inspector and below, set up the review under former Home Office permanent secretary Sir David Normington last year. Its report said the federation had faced a "perfect storm" of challenges for its members, including job losses, pay being "held down", increased pension costs and changes to working conditions, as well as major policing reforms. By Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent, BBC News But there was an "almost universal perception" among members that it had been a "weak voice" during the changes, tending to "oppose rather than engage" and putting forward ideas "too late to be influential". The report also found the federation had reserve funds of Â£64.5m - about Â£35m held by local branch boards, which it said operated "almost as separate businesses". A survey carried out for the review found 91% of federation members wanted it to change. It also found: Sir David said there was an "urgent need" for the federation to "regain the trust of its members" and its "culture of secrecy" over money had to change. The review panel made 36 recommendations. These included: The "plebgate" row began in September 2012 when Andrew Mitchell, then Tory chief whip, was accused of calling officers "plebs" after they refused to let him cycle through Downing Street's main gates. Three weeks later, Mr Mitchell met three Police Federation officers who afterwards claimed he had not elaborated on the row. But a secret recording of the meeting made by Mr Mitchell showed he had in fact denied using the word "pleb". The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is now investigating the three officers amid accusations they lied about what was said. But the federation has called the probe "unlawful" and responded by announcing legal action against the IPCC. The federation's chairman, Steve Williams, has apologised to Mr Mitchell for the actions of PC Keith Wallis, who falsely claimed to have witnessed the row in Downing Street. PC Wallis sent an email to his local MP John Randall, the then Conservative deputy chief whip, wrongly saying that he had seen the altercation. He has pleaded guilty to a charge of misconduct in public office, and offered to resign. Mr Mitchell said he was "grateful" to Mr Williams for his apology, and would "welcome the opportunity to meet with him for a constructive discussion in the very near future". On the report by Sir David Normington, Mr Mitchell said he believed the conclusions were "right". The report said the case highlighted the "extent to which some representatives feel they can

Summary: The Police Federation of England and Wales should be changed from "top to bottom", an independent panel has said.


Former Grimsby boss Hurst was appointed on 24 October, with the Shropshire club at the bottom of the table. After beating Oxford, losses to Sheffield United and Fleetwood plus a 0-0 draw at home to Port Vale have seen Hurst's side return to bottom spot. "Sometimes you need a bit of a joker," he told BBC Radio Shropshire. "I'm a believer you can have fun while working hard still. They're a quiet group. I don't know if they feel they're still getting to know me, but I want a bit more from them. "Characters - that's what you sometimes need. I don't want them to feel down." Shrewsbury host fellow third-tier side Fleetwood in the FA Cup second round on Saturday.

Summary: Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst has urged his squad to have more fun and lighten up, in a bid to help their League One relegation battle.


Blackpool were unbeaten in four league games but it was the hosts who nearly took the lead on five minutes when Evans' shot hit the crossbar. Just before the half-hour mark, after increased pressure from the hosts, Enda Stevens found Evans on his own in the area and the 28-year-old made no mistake, striking a powerful shot into the top left corner. The hosts almost doubled their lead three minutes later but Gary Roberts' header trickled past the post. After the break Portsmouth continued their domination but with nine minutes to go Blackpool made a triple substitution and forced their best chance of the game from a corner, Tom Aldred heading just wide. Portsmouth sealed the points in injury time when substitute Carl Baker and Doyle combined to pass the ball around keeper Sam Slocombe. Report supplied by the Press Association.

But despite out-selling Lego and taking a Toy of the Year award, the business came crashing down in the 1990s when the kite-maker put a match to his equipment. Now, more than a decade after he brought his business to a dramatic end, his sons Paul and Mark have restarted it with a shop in Cheltenham. Born in Gloucester in 1932, Peter Powell was aged in his 40s when he devised the kite that would make him famous - the Peter Powell Stunter. Battling with the problem of a traditional one-line kite that was listing to one side, Mr Powell came up with the idea of attaching extra lines to it. With a car boot loaded up with his kites, he would head to Paignton sea front and "sell every single one of them" out of the back of his car. He advertised by simply flying the kites. But it was three years later, during the heatwave of 1976, when the flamboyant kitemaker hit the big time following an appearance on the BBC's daily magazine show, Nationwide. "It went from 300 kites a week to 75,000 a week in its heyday - we opened two factories but that wasn't enough so we opened three more, it was massive," said his son Mark. With a regular audience of over 10m viewers, the Nationwide appearance kick-started a UK craze for flying steerable kites. Overnight the big, bright and durable Stunter was on every child's wish list and was being flown by stars including Muhammad Ali, James Stuart and Henry Fonda. "I suppose dad was a bit like a celebrity at that time. I mean he was on programmes like Tiswas and he flew his kites off the back of the President's yacht down the Hudson river," said Paul, another son. "And flying down the River Thames on the back of a police speedboat with St Paul's Cathedral in the background must have been an amazing thing to do," added Mark. With a clear run through the 1970s it was in the decade that followed - as Peter Powell himself had predicted - that it all started to "go wrong". As home computers and video games took hold of the children's leisure market, kite sales crashed and profits dwindled. By the late-1990s, in the wake of poor commercial decisions and cheap knock-offs from abroad, the "dream was over" and Peter Powell was left with nothing. "Me and Paul came home one night and it looked as if the house was on fire," said Mark. "Dad had been round all the factories, collected all their jigs for making the kite and he had a big bonfire and burnt everything to do with the kite. "He said to me and Paul, whatever you do, do not start that business back up again." But they have. Working in secret for two years, the brothers developed their own version of their father's Original Stunt Kite before confronting him with it in 2012. "We didn't want dad finding out what we were doing, but when we showed him our first

Summary: Peter Powell kites were the must have toy in the summer of 1976, with millions selling worldwide and their creator becoming a household name.


Media playback is not supported on this device Ahead of Monday's fifth-round tie at the Greenhous Meadow, the League One side's boss Micky Mellon has already gathered a battle plan that cannot fail to strike a chord with the competition's romantics. No-one loves roughing up the elite more than Sam Allardyce (just ask Arsene Wenger) so it is fortunate that Mellon is big pals with Big Sam. Friends from having played under Allardyce at Blackpool, Mellon has the perfect inside track on how to upset the odds. The current Sunderland boss is the last man to beat United domestically, thanks to their 2-1 win last Saturday in the Premier League, and Mellon admits he will use all his old manager's know-how. "I'm seeing Big Sam and see what his plan was and if there's any help we can get from that then we will," he told BBC Radio Shropshire. "I'm a big schoolboy when it comes to football and to be able to prepare my team to face Manchester United is a fantastic moment in my career." Perhaps the magic and miracle of cinema can also provide a source of hope. If Shrewsbury had Pele up front, Ossie Ardiles in midfield and Bobby Moore at the heart of the defence, they could well afford Michael Caine at left-back and still beat Manchester United, or anyone else for that matter. But, unlike the Germans in the iconic 1981 film Escape to Victory, they did defeat a side that contained more than a hint of that heroic Allied XI. Russell Osman, John Wark, Kevin O'Callaghan and Paul Cooper (body double for goalkeeper Sylvester Stallone in the film) were all in Bobby Robson's stylish Uefa Cup-winning Ipswich side that lost 2-1 to Shrewsbury in the fifth round in February 1982. But if it is all going pear-shaped at half-time on Monday for Town, in keeping with the film, they can always dig an escape tunnel under the bath. In addition to the Tractor Boys of '82, Shrewsbury saw off another top-flight side Manchester City on their way to the sixth round in 1979 - still their best run in the competition to date. More recently, it was Kevin Ratcliffe's side that wrote the third-round headlines as two goals from Nigel Jemson, including a last-minute winner, dumped Ratcliffe's old club and five-time winners Everton out in 2003. It gave a 17-year-old Wayne Rooney an early introduction to the FA Cup's capricious nature. If you only looked at the visitors' FA Cup record, you would tell the Shrewsbury squad to stay in, watch their favourite box-sets on Monday, and give the tie a wide berth. Only Arsenal can boast a better record than United's 11 Cup wins, but Town fans will point to the fact that they have not won the famous old trophy since beating Millwall in Cardiff in 2004. And like a lot of the big boys, they have not been immune to the odd upset over the years. Bournemouth's famous win over holders United in the third round in 1984 still ranks as one

Summary: Shrewsbury Town will not be short of inspiration when they try to knock Manchester United out of the FA Cup.


A judge had dismissed the case against PT Bumi Mekar Hijau (BMH), saying there was not enough evidence that the firm failed to prevent recurring fires. Haze from forest fires in Indonesia affected South East Asia for months. BMH supplies Asia Pulp and Paper, one of the world's biggest such companies. The $565m in damages from the lawsuit would have been the largest financial reward ever levied against such a firm. The government alleges BMH failed to prevent recurring fires in 2014 and this year on about 20,000 hectares of land in a region of Sumatra. But presiding judge Parlas Nababan in a South Sumatra court said: "The lawsuit against PT Bumi Mekar Hijau is rejected because the evidence is not proven." The director of law enforcement at the ministry of environment, Rasio Ridho Sani told the BBC the government is looking into its legal options now and companies must be held responsible for the fires in their areas even if they were not caused directly by the firm. The forest and peatland fires, which caused dangerous levels of pollution in large parts of South East Asia in the second half of the year, were largely located on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo.

Summary: The Indonesian government has said it will appeal against a court decision that rejected a $565m (£381m) lawsuit against a plantation company accused of causing forest fires.


A gold medal in the race gives an athlete global recognition. Breaking the world record over the distance ensures sporting immortality.

He told MSPs that the operators of Prestwick Airport had a bid team in place. The owners of Campbeltown airfield were also interested in attracting the venture. Stornoway, Newquay and Llanbedr are also on a UK government shortlist of potential sites. RAF Leuchars has been identified as a potential temporary facility. Ministers are keen to see the spaceport established by 2018. It would be used to launch commercial flights and satellites into space. Speaking in the Scottish Parliament, Mr Brown said the Scottish government "was keen" to see the port built in Scotland. He said: "I am aware Glasgow Prestwick Airport is making considerable progress. "It has a bid team in place and is working with a range of local and national partners to develop its proposal." Mr Brown added: "The owners of Campbeltown air base are also interested in progressing a bid." Campbeltown is a former military air base and part of the site is used by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (Hial). Earlier this month, the leader of the council in the Western Isles said Stornoway had "critical features" that made it the "ideal location" for a spaceport. Angus Campbell, of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, said Lewis's geography and access to research and development facilities were suited to a facility. Hial, which operates Stornoway Airport, said it would potentially support a venture.

Summary: Two Scottish airports are actively bidding to host the UK's first spaceport, according to Infrastructure Secretary Keith Brown.

After the draft deal was published two weeks ago, an irate editorial in the French newspaper Le Monde fumed that the concessions made to Britain were "exorbitant". And while some in Mr Cameron's own Conservative Party dismiss his renegotiation as a watery fudge, politicians in Paris have a very different view. Of particular concern here is the question of future financial regulation. UK ministers, too, think this is the most important part of the whole renegotiation. The issue is this: The majority of EU countries that have the euro are integrating further and building a banking union with common rules and regulations. That process will deepen in the coming years. Mr Cameron wants legal guarantees that the eurozone will not rig the rules in a way that could harm the interests of countries that do not have the euro. But France frets that the UK is seeking special treatment for the City of London, that could harm the single market in financial services. France is also concerned a new mechanism that would allow non-euro countries to escalate their concerns could clog up decision-making. The UK insists it is not asking for any veto or competitive advantage, but this is likely to be the focus of the hastily arranged talks here this evening. President Hollande also faces an election next year - and while he wants the UK to stay in the EU, he will not do a deal that gives his opponents a chance to claim he sold out to Britain.

Councillors voted in favour of the Local Development Plan by 21 votes to five. Protestors who feared the plan would negatively affect the numbers of Welsh speakers in the area had met outside the council offices in Llangefni. Gwynedd councillors approved the plan on Friday. Anglesey and Gwynedd had prepared a joint land use development strategy. It includes some houses which have already been built or have planning permission.

Summary: A plan for 8,000 new houses in Anglesey and Gwynedd over the next 15 years has been approved by councillors on Anglesey.
