Suriname beat Guernsey by six wickets to take the title, although Guernsey have gained promotion to Division Five with their appearance in the final. "There were contributions made across the board from everyone in the whole squad," Pothas told BBC Radio Guernsey. "The thing that stands out most is the maturity of a very young squad." Pothas continued: "It was nice as historically we're always hanging our hats on one or two players." Guernsey were bowled out for 237 with a ball to spare by Suriname, who the islanders had beaten in the group stages in Essex. Tom Nightingale, 17, top-scored for Guernsey with 65, while his older brother Ollie scored 59 as Gavin Singh took five wickets for Suriname. In reply, Singh hit 61 not out to win man of the match, while skipper Mohindra Boodram got 65 as Suriname reached their target with just under five overs to spare. "We're back to the path that we've set ourselves, which is to become a solid World Cricket League Division Four team," Pothas added. "You always want to win the trophy, you never play to come second, but it's a one-off. "If it was a a round-robin there'd have been no question we'd have come first." The company, which makes armoured vehicles at a site near Dumfries, made the move last week. Mr Arkless said the debtor - who he was not allowed to name - had received "huge public sector contracts". He asked for export support for Penman but also how other businesses could be made to pay their bills on time. The Dumfries and Galloway MP raised the issue during Prime Minister's Questions. He said the firm had been put in an "impossible position". "Penman has to continue to trade with this debtor as well as pursuing the debt," he said. Prime Minister Theresa May said her thoughts were with the families affected by the administration. "The administrator does have a role in ensuring that any sale of the business protects the maximum number of jobs," she said. She said Scottish Secretary David Mundell had made clear preserving posts was his priority. "Obviously the administrator will be looking to ensure the best possible options are found for the company," she added. 23 November 2016 Last updated at 19:55 GMT Dynamo, Gary and Frosty, the South American animals, attend Millgate School. Student Keenan said: "When you're angry, you can just come and calm down and feed them, get your emotions out." Staff said the alpacas have "definitely" had a "noticeable affect" on the pupils.

The 18-year-old from Denbighshire died in November 1995. The High Court ordered a fresh inquest in July after a challenge by her family. Pte James was among four soldiers who died at Deepcut between 1995 and 2002, sparking bullying allegations. Judge Barker is to hold a pre-inquest review hearing in the near future. Surrey County Council (SCC) said the date had yet to be fixed and the venue would also be announced at a later date. The High Court ordered that the inquest held on 21 December 1995 into the death of Pte James from a gunshot wound at the Princess Royal Barracks should be quashed and a fresh inquest ordered. The original inquest recorded an open verdict. Profiles of the Deepcut four Pte James, who grew up in Llangollen, died from a single bullet wound. Her parents believe she had suffered sexual harassment and bullying. Pte Sean Benton, 20, from Hastings, East Sussex, was found dead with bullet wounds at the barracks in June 1995, months before Pte James's death. In September 2001, 17-year-old Pte Geoff Gray, from Seaham, Co Durham, was found with two bullet wounds to his head, and six months later, Pte James Collinson, from Perth, also 17, was found with a single bullet wound upwards through his chin. Mr Justice Mitting and Judge Peter Thornton QC agreed that there was "an insufficiency of inquiry" at the 1995 inquest into Pte James's death. Judge Thornton said "the discovery of new facts or evidence" made "a fresh investigation including a fresh inquest necessary or desirable in the interests of justice". Pte James was undergoing initial training at Deepcut when she was found dead. Her parents Des and Doreen James, who live in Llanymynech, Powys, applied through human rights campaign group Liberty for a new inquest after the Human Rights Act was used to secure access to documents held by the authorities about the teenager's death. Liberty said the appointment of such an "experienced, reputable criminal judge" to head the new inquest recognised how important it was to get it right. "Under his oversight, Cheryl's loved ones really do hope they will get the rigorous, fearless investigation they've been waiting for all these years," it said. "However, a decision has also been taken which suggests the inquest will remain in Surrey. "This indicates the Coroner will receive police support from the local force, Surrey Police. "Serious criticisms have been levelled at the force in relation to the Deepcut cases. "We're working hard to ensure there can be no suggestion of a conflict of interest, or perception of a conflict." The Portsmouth South MP apologised in June last year for conducting an "inappropriate friendship" with a vulnerable female constituent. He resigned from the Liberal Democrats in September after he had the whip removed but remained an MP. The 68-year-old, who has battled health issues, said he hoped voters would accept he had paid for his "mistake". Mr Hancock said he was still fit to do the job despite undergoing major heart operations and recently spending time at a mental health unit. A civil action against him was dropped last year when the complainant agreed to a confidential settlement and the MP issued an apology. He told BBC News: "I'm going to stand for sure, I've made this decision because my health is so much better and I think I owe it to a lot of people who have supported me. "Once you've been an MP for as long as I have it's hard to just walk away. "I think if enough people realise that I'm like everyone, I'm a fallible human being who made a mistake but paid a very high price for it... I think I could [win]." He will go head-to-head with his former party colleague Gerald Vernon-Jackson who will be standing for the Liberal Democrats. But Mr Hancock said he felt he "did not owe anything" to his old party and was not concerned about taking their votes. He has been an MP in Portsmouth since 1984 and won with a majority of more than 5,000 votes in 2010. He has also served as a Portsmouth councillor, which he carried out alongside his MP duties, until he lost his Fratton seat in the local elections last year.

Now schoolchildren in Northern Ireland will be playing Minecraft in their classrooms as part of a project devised by Londonderry-based innovation festival CultureTECH. Minecraft allows players to create their own world which they are then free to explore. Secondary-schools will use MinecraftEdu, a special version appropriate for the classroom, in lessons to help teach traditional subjects such as history and art. CultureTECH chief executive Mark Nagurski said the overwhelming response to Minecraft events at last year's festival sparked the idea. "We spent a couple of months talking with the MinecraftEdu guys who showed us the content that could be produced, so we decided to take a punt," he says. "We need more kids getting into STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and coding if we are to build a pipeline to meet the increasing demand for jobs in the technology sector, and this is a great way for children to get into that." So, how can playing a video game during class-time benefit children? St Joseph's Boys' School in Derry has been running a pilot of the scheme as part of a collaboration between its history and IT departments. The game was offered to the school for free and history teacher Darren Currie says that made it "an opportunity we couldn't resist, especially when school budgets are so tight". His pupils are using the game to construct virtual replicas of Plantation period sites such as Brackfield bawn outside Derry and Monea Castle in County Fermanagh. "The Plantation period is a part of history that can be quite dry, so anything that helps pupils take it in better has to be a good thing," he explains. "The boys create these structures, label them and then work out and explain why, for example, this house was fortified, why these gun turrets are positioned where they are, and gain an understanding of the period as a result." An assessment is the summer will determine whether the scheme has been a success, but Mr Currie says the benefits are already beginning to show. "I work with a mixed ability group and this has helped with their motivation. Pupil engagement has increased and there is a collaborative and competitive element to it, too. "The pupils work in groups to build the best bawn, and that will over time help with their employability skills - not only are they gaining computing and programming skills, but this is also team-building." Mr Currie is encouraging other schools to follow St Joseph's lead. "What we are doing is just the tip of the iceberg - there are so many different applications for different subject areas. "There does have to be a structure and outcomes must be clear, and that way pupils will take over the learning themselves." A spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor said they were in custody for questioning over "illicit activity". Uber, which puts vetted drivers in touch with passengers, is unpopular with registered drivers in many cities because they tend to undercut prices. A recent French taxi-drivers' strike turned violent. The US company is banned in some places, but it says it will keep operating in France. Last week, France's interior minister ordered a ban on the low-cost car-sharing service UberPOP after a day of nationwide protests by taxi drivers. Bernard Cazeneuve said the service was "illegal" and ordered police and prosecutors to enforce its closure. Uber says it will stop operating if ordered to do so by a court. Last week's protests saw US singer Courtney Love Cobain caught up in the unrest, which she compared with a war zone. Taxi drivers complain Uber is stealing their livelihoods as its drivers do not have to pass the same tests, nor pay the same taxes, as more established taxi services.

It is one of the most addictive video games in the world, with millions of users playing it for hours on end. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Two managers of the taxi-ordering app Uber have been arrested in France.

According to the 46-year-old Swiss, 16 countries would be eliminated after a preliminary knockout round. The rest of the tournament would then be the same as it is now, with 32 teams competing in the group stages, followed by further knockout rounds. Infantino said a decision on possible expansion would be taken in January. "These are ideas to find the best solution," he said. "We will debate them this month and we will decide everything by 2017." Infantino took charge of world football's governing body in February. One of his election promises was to expand the World Cup to 40 teams. But his idea now is that 32 teams take part in a preliminary knockout round in the host country, with the winners joining 16 seeded teams in the group stages. "It means we continue with a normal World Cup for 32 teams, but 48 teams go to the party," said Infantino, who replaced Sepp Blatter. "Fifa's idea is to develop football in the whole world. The World Cup is the biggest event there is. It's more than a competition, it's a social event." Media playback is not supported on this device Richard Conway, BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent This is all part of Gianni Infantino's plan to expand the tournament because there is a lot of discontent from some continents who feel World Cup places are not allocated in the right way. It could be something like England against Iceland in the first round if England were not seeded. It is very high risk - and it would be dramatic and exciting for TV, I am sure. That is what is on the table and a decision will be made in January next year. Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. The animal artwork will appear at the junction of Pear Tree Road, Lower Dale Road and Normanton Road, in Normanton, Derby, in April. Charity Sustrans said the design would help make the area more appealing for people and help slow down cars. The charity has been working with different communities in England to help redesign busy streets. Dan Robertson, from Sustrans, said: "Through simple changes like this we can really change the feel of a space into a place people want to be in. "This is one of several such initiatives that are happening here in Normanton at the moment." The initiative came from design workshops held over 18 months. The tiger design was created as a way to increase awareness of pedestrian needs in the area by highlighting where people want to walk. The tiger will be painted on to roads and pavements on 12 April.

More than 300 motorcyclists turned out to say a final farewell to the Italian road racer who died following a crash at the Tandragee 100 at the weekend. The convoy included fellow riders, fans and many more from the motorcycling community. Members of Mr Cecconi's family were also present. There was a blessing at the start line before the hearse made its way around the circuit. Onlookers broke into spontaneous applause in tribute to the popular Italian rider who called the course "home". The 37,500 tonne INS Vikrant is expected to go for extensive trials in 2016 before being inducted into the navy by 2018, reports say. With this, India joins a select group of countries capable of building such a vessel. Other countries capable of building a similar ship are the US, the UK, Russia and France. Monday's launch of INS Vikrant marks the end of the first phase of its construction. The ship will be then re-docked for outfitting and further construction. The ship, which will have a length of 260m (850ft) and a breadth of 60m, has been built at the shipyard in Cochin. It was designed and manufactured locally, using high grade steel made by a state-owned steel company. Vice-Admiral RK Dhowan of India's navy has described the launch as the "crowning glory" of the navy's programme to produce vessels on home soil.

Responding to the publication of Sir John Chilcot's inquiry into the war, Mr Corbyn said MPs had been "misled" in the run-up to the invasion. He also apologised on behalf of Labour and called for more powers for the International Criminal Court. David Cameron said lessons must be learned from the Iraq War. He announced a two-day Commons debate into Sir John's long-awaited report. Sir John said his report does not make a judgement on the legality or otherwise of the war. But Mr Corbyn, a long-term critic of the war who voted against the invasion, said it had "long been regarded as illegal by the overwhelming by the weight of international legal opinion". It "devastated Iraq's infrastructure" he said, and "fostered a lethal sectarianism". "By any measure, the invasion and occupation of Iraq... has been for many a catastrophe," he said. Going to war without a UN mandate was "profoundly dangerous", Mr Corbyn said, adding: "All those who took the decisions laid bare in the Chilcot report must face up to the consequences of their actions, whatever they may be." He paid tribute to the late Robin Cook, who resigned from the government over his opposition to the war. Mr Corbyn said that in his resignation speech, Mr Cook had said "in a few hundred words in advance of the tragedy to come what has been confirmed by this report in more than two million words". In a speech later on, Mr Corbyn apologised to Iraqis, soldiers' families and Britons who feel democracy was "undermined" by the invasion. He said: "Politicians and political parties can only grow stronger by acknowledging when they get it wrong and by facing up to their mistakes. "So I now apologise sincerely on behalf of my party for the disastrous decision to go to war in Iraq." He added: "Finally, we need Britain to join the 30 countries including Germany and Spain that already support giving the International Criminal Court the power to prosecute those responsible for the crime of military aggression." Earlier, as he fielded questions from MPs, Mr Cameron, who as a backbencher at the time voted in favour of intervention, said: "Members on all sides who voted for military action will have to take our fair share of the responsibility. "We cannot turn the clock back but we can ensure that lessons are learned and acted on." He said the experience of Iraq should not prevent Britain from collaborating with the United States in future military action. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said the late Charles Kennedy, who led his party at the time had been "right all along" in his opposition. Labour MP Ann Clwyd said Saddam Hussein had been in breach of UN resolution and killed thousands of his citizens. She said: "I wish people would ask Iraqis what they think of the invasion, because many are grateful that we took the action that we did at that time." The weather warning is valid from 11:00 GMT to 19:00 GMT. Rivers Agency chief executive David Porter has said it is continuing to monitor water levels closely following more rainfall, including Lough Erne. A number of roads are closed across Northern Ireland. Mr Porter said the agency brought in extra pumps and Derrychara Link in Enniskillen was cleared at 02:30 GMT, but he said "keeping it open depends on rain today". He said Upper Lough Erne "was still about 150mm below 2009 levels". A Met Office Yellow warning of ice was in place until 10:00 GMT on Sunday. On Friday, the minister for agriculture, Michelle O'Neill, said there was no engineering solution to flooding in County Fermanagh. Ms O'Neill said the problem is one that the local community "will have to deal with time and time again".

Angharad Bullock, 39, from Morriston, Swansea, was reported missing on 28 April, along with the toddler. South Wales Police confirmed the pair had been found on Tuesday night. Jim Stevenson opened the scoring for the visitors when he headed home Rhys Browne's cross just moments into the second half. And Browne made certain of all three points late on with a powerful drive from outside the box. Halifax came close to grabbing a consolation, but Shaquille McDonald's effort was saved by keeper Dan Thomas. The Shaymen are only two points clear of the relegation zone, while Aldershot climbed one place to 14th. Media playback is not supported on this device Aldershot manager Barry Smith told BBC Surrey: "We knew Halifax were on a good run of form and we knew they would come out all guns blazing. "I felt if we weathered the storm we would always get chances. We've played better but it's not a great pitch and we scored two good goals." A BBC investigation found the report in August 2012 was misleading and unfair. The programme has also been under fire for dropping a report into disgraced BBC DJ Jimmy Savile and wrongly linking Lord McAlpine to a sex abuse inquiry. The apology was broadcast on radio and online, with Newsnight to follow. The internal investigation into the report by former Bureau of Investigative Journalism chief reporter Angus Stickler found that there was no evidence to back Newsnight's claim about Help for Heroes. In the apology, the BBC will say: "Following an investigation by its Editorial Complaints Unit, the BBC now accepts that its coverage was misleading and unfair to Help for Heroes. "The BBC gave the impression that Help for Heroes was responsible for shortcomings in the provision of support to wounded veterans. The editorial complaints unit found no evidence to support this suggestion. "Although it was legitimate to report the concerns of veterans, the BBC portrayed criticisms about overall support by a number of agencies as specific criticisms of Help for Heroes. This unfair impression was reinforced by our coverage of the story in other outlets. "In addition, the Newsnight report contained interviews with two contributors which were edited in a way which misrepresented their views." It continues: "Although a representative of Help for Heroes took part in a studio discussion which followed the Newsnight report, the response of Help for Heroes to the criticisms wasn't properly reflected. "This contributed further to the unfair impression of Help for Heroes, for which the BBC wishes to apologise." The BBC said it accepted the findings of the ruling, and acknowledged that it had "made some mistakes" in reporting concerns from some veterans: "That shouldn't have happened and we apologise." "It is important to stress that the ruling has found that it is clear that at least some injured veterans and their families had been expressing criticisms of Help for Heroes and it was legitimate to report these," it added. Help for Heroes welcomed the apology, but said the Bureau of Investigative Journalism should also apologise to all of the wounded service personnel, their families and others who support the charity through volunteering and fundraising. It said that after allowing the journalists to visit a recovery centre and interview a family, the "broad and completely understandable concerns about the long-term care needs of the wounded were falsely and unfairly reported as criticisms of the charity". "The Newsnight report was a complete shock to us, but an even bigger shock to the men and women we're helping to recover," co-founders Bryn and Emma Parry said in a joint statement. "We are grateful the BBC has admitted it got the story completely wrong and has finally apologised. Newsnight was criticised for dropping a report into Jimmy Savile's years of sex abuse. It led to an internal inquiry and the programme's editor, Peter Rippon, stepped down. Then last November the programme linked Lord McAlpine to allegations of sex abuse. The BBC paid £185,000 in damages to him. A new editor for the programme was announced on Thursday. Ian Katz, from the Guardian, will take up his role in September.

Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz said previous inquiries that blamed human error and bad weather were riddled with "mistakes". He said the crash near Smolensk might have been caused by an explosion. Polish officials earlier accused Russia of withholding key evidence, something denied by Moscow. Announcing the new investigation, Mr Macierewicz suggested that the presidential plane had "disintegrated" between 15 and 18 metres (49-59ft) before crashing in western Russia on 10 April 2010. "There is no doubt that these circumstances are not only a sufficient reason, but one that makes it compulsory to re-examine this tragedy," the minister said. He questioned the results of previous Polish and Russian investigations. Among those who died were top state officials, many of whom belonged to the now governing Law and Justice party led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski - the late president's identical twin brother. The party has never accepted the previous inquiries that concluded the Smolensk crash was an accident. Commenting on Poland's move, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said she hoped "this is not linked to politics". "This hope is a faint one, but it still exists," she added. Relations between Poland and Russia have been strained over the continuing conflict in Ukraine's south-east and the annexation of the country's southern Crimea peninsula by Moscow in 2014. Correction 25 February 2016: This report has been amended to clarify the findings of the different investigations into the crash. The 29-year-old left-hander, who has previously played for Surrey, has hit six centuries in 32 Test matches and a total of 28 in first-class cricket.

The first refugees arrived in the town on 9 December last year, and since then 11 refugees have settled in Ceredigion. The mural, which was unveiled at Ysgol Gymraeg Aberystwyth, includes messages from pupils and members of the public. It was a special collaboration between Oxfam Cymru, the artist Valériane Leblond and the school. Pupils Cari and Steffan said they hoped everyone liked their mural of welcome. Kirsty Davies-Warner, head of Oxfam Cymru, said: "It's been one year since the first refugees arrived to Wales, and this wonderful mural symbolises the extent of support and welcome that the people of Aberystwyth have shown the newly-arrived families." Earlier this year, Syrian refugees gave out flowers and thanked passers-by for welcoming them to the town. Pamela Geller is a harsh critic of political Islam who has often faced threats from jihadist groups. She sponsored a competition to draw the prophet Muhammad which was attacked last month by two Islamic State-inspired gunmen in Texas. On Tuesday Boston police in shot dead a suspect who had been under watch. Boston Police Commissioner William B Evans described the plan to target Mrs Geller as "more along the lines of wishful thinking." "There was some mention of that name", Mr Evans told a television program on Thursday morning. Early on Tuesday morning Usaama Rahim, 26, called his nephew, David Wright, 24, to inform him that the plan had changed and he now intended to "go after" the "boys in blue" according to a conversations recorded by the FBI. Investigators believe "boys in blue" was code for Boston police officers. Two hours later Rahim was shot and killed while under surveillance by counter-terrorism officers. Police say Rahim attacked officers with a large combat knife after being approached by five officers in the residential Roslindale neighbourhood. He was shot three times and later died in hospital. Michael McCaul, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said Rahim had been "communicating with and spreading ISIS [Islamic State] propaganda online". "These cases are a reminder of the dangers posed by individuals radicalised through social media," said Mr McCaul. Facebook posts published by the Boston Globe newspaper show that Rahim had been contacted by the FBI in the past. "Damn FBI calling my phone!" Rahim wrote in 2012. "They just want any opportunity to drag a Muslim into some DRAMA . . . He wanted to meet up with me and 'Talk.' HA! I said about WHAT?" "Try again, monkey-boys . . ." he followed up in a later post. Rahim had worked for CVS since March but previously was a security guard, for a time employed at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center. An investigation will be conducted by Boston Police and the FBI to determine if the shooting was justified. David Wright was arrested later on Tuesday after a raid at his home in Everett, Massachusetts and now faces charges of conspiracy to obstruct an investigation. Authorities also searched a home in Warwick, Rhode Island, but officials refused to say confirm it was linked to the Boston investigation.

18 November 2015 Last updated at 16:21 GMT It's something students at Bedford High in Greater Manchester have been exploring, as part of Anti-Bullying Week. They've made a special film, which tells the story of Holly, a girl struggling to cope with being bullied at school and online. Kara, who plays Holly in the film, said: "I wanted to be involved because this is really what some people have to go through." "They shouldn't have to. They are not alone at Bedford. We will stand together against bullying," Kara added. Click play to watch 'I am Holly'. A few days shy of his 93rd birthday, Harry Nunn is still hard at work with horses. A volunteer at the Brae Riding for the Disabled Centre in Dundee, Harry has been around the animals his entire life. And 50 years ago, he played an important role in one of the biggest events of the 20th century - the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill, Britain's wartime leader and one of history's great statesmen. Churchill of course has his own Dundee links - before his two stints as Prime Minister, he was the MP for the city for 14 years. His state funeral was a grand occasion, attended by world leaders and broadcast on television, and massive crowds packed the streets of London to see the procession pass by. Yards behind the gun-carriage which bore Churchill's lead-lined and flag-draped coffin, his widow and family rode in a horse-drawn carriage - driven by Harry Nunn. "At the time it didn't even seem like you were doing it, but you could see the cortege in front of you the whole time," he said. "What amazed me was, I'd never seen so many people. Right from when we came out of the House of Lords, right along Whitehall and all the way up, it was chock-a-block. "And when you left St Paul's to go down to the boat, there were just as many people - you wondered where they'd all come from." Mr Nunn was a groom at the Royal Mews, a member of the Royal household who looked after the Queen's horses and carriages. Having served in the Army during World War Two, he briefly came face-to-face with Churchill a few weeks before the D-Day landings. But he was chosen for one of the most important jobs at the funeral simply because of his familiarity with the horse chosen to draw the Churchills' carriage. "I'd had the horse when he was young, so they thought I should go with him as it was his first trip out in public," he said. "If anything went wrong he might understand things better if I was with him. That's how it all started." And things did nearly go wrong, with the horse uneasy with the funereal pace of the solemn procession. "The young horse did well - he got a bit frustrated with going so slow, as they were hardly walking, it was at crawling pace. A young horse, he wanted to go," said Mr Nunn. "When you get a big horse, they stride out well, so I got down and walked beside him for a little while, and gave him a tap to say 'behave'. "It must have been hard for him, it was his first time out and there were all these crowds standing there." After the funeral, Mr Nunn and the other grooms received a letter of thanks from Lady Churchill, which was pinned up on a notice board at the Royal Mews. And although the letter eventually disappeared - Mr Nunn suspects it was binned by a fellow groom keen on keeping the place tidy - he still looks back with pride at the part he played that day in 1965.

American, Delta and United airlines say the ban will apply to checked and carry-on luggage on all flights. A US government agency is investigating the two-wheeled scooters after receiving at least 10 reports of fires. Other airlines have already banned the skateboard-like device, which is a popular gift item this holiday season. JetBlue, Alaska, Virgin American, Hawaiian, Spirit and Allegiant have all previously banned hoverboards, and Southwest is having internal discussions on how best to handle the devices. Delta has said that the self-balancing scooters often use batteries that exceed the wattage allowed on planes and are often poorly labelled. The lithium ion batteries used in the devices are common in devices like phones, laptops and toys. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission is conducting a high-priority investigation of hoverboards, because of their surge in popularity in recent months and reports of fires in at least nine states. "We know consumers are giving it as a gift during the holidays," the watchdog agency's spokeswoman Patty Davis said. "We are working all across the country to move our investigation into the fires forward as quickly as possible." Given the concerns about fires, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has recommended that the scooters be transported only as carry-on luggage. Each airline is responsible for making its own decision about banning the devices. Sales of the devices in the UK have taken off, despite the fact that it is illegal to ride them on public roads and sidewalks. On Thursday, a 15-year-old riding a hoverboard died in a crash with a bus in London. And in September, a man used one of the devices during the robbery of a crate of energy drinks from a convenience store in south London. British authorities have become alarmed by the devices, and have seized more than 15,000 of the them at ports and airports in the UK in recent weeks. Cardigan Bay has one of Europe's largest semi-resident populations of bottlenose dolphins. But the Sea Watch Foundation says a short-beaked common dolphin has now been seen from New Quay, in Ceredigion. It says the smaller breed, with its yellow and white markings, usually gathers in groups in waters deeper than 164ft (50m). Sea Watch Foundation - a UK-wide charity which monitors dolphins, whales and porpoises - said there had also been several sightings of the more commonly spotted bottlenose dolphins in the bay in March. These were "likely to increase" into the summer as dolphins return to the sheltered bay with their young, the foundation said. The charity's sightings officer, Kathy James, said: "Now is a great time to come to New Quay to observe its wildlife. "You might get to witness some really interesting interactions between the two species."

The three leading US airline groups have announced a ban on so-called hoverboards, saying their batteries present an unacceptable fire hazard. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A breed of dolphin usually found in deeper waters has been seen off the Mid Wales coast, a sea life charity says.

Norfolk's Oates, 31, who is ranked seventh in the world and was firm favourite going into these Games, defeated Andreas Krassas of Cyprus with a quick throw and armlock combination. And Davis, who is based at British Judo's centre of excellence in Walsall, capped a superb night for England by scoring a Waza-ari throw, which she followed up with a 25-second hold-down to clinch the title. Stephen Goodwin, 51, of St Saviours Road, St Helier, Jersey, illicitly transferred the money between 2006 and 2011 through several jurisdictions, including the UK and Jersey. He had pleaded guilty to several counts relating to money trafficking and tax evasion at Jersey's Royal Court. He was also fined £2,000 and had assets of £214,237 confiscated on Thursday. Goodwin was sentenced for two counts of income tax fraud, one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice and a fourth count of converting, transferring or removing proceeds of drug trafficking from the jurisdiction. A spokeswoman for States of Jersey Police said: "He deliberately sought to remain under the radar, in terms of declared earnings to government departments, and evade any suspicious activity that is reported through the banking mechanisms." Police said "cash packages" were intercepted in 2011 by Jersey Customs and Immigration Services which led to an investigation being launched through the Joint Financial Crimes Unit.

Father-of-two Sean Kelly, 37, from Cardiff, died in hospital on Sunday following a serious assault in Theodora Street, Adamsdown on Thursday. An 18-year-old and 45-year-old have been charged with murder. Both men, from the Cardiff area, are due to appear at the city's magistrates' court on Wednesday, South Wales Police said. Following his death at the University Hospital of Wales, Mr Kelly's family paid tribute to "a fun loving guy". In a statement, they added: "He was a great son, father, brother and uncle. He was a doting dad to his two children and he's going to be extremely missed by all." On Tuesday, The Mirror newspaper reported that the Doctor's next companion will be played by Bradley Walsh. According to the Mirror, a source said: "Bradley is super excited to be joining the cast of Doctor Who in such a key role." "It means that his schedule over the coming months will be jam-packed... But, crucially, it won't affect his role as presenter of The Chase. He loves that show with a passion and so does the audience, so he's delighted to have found a way to make it all work." Newsround contacted the BBC but it refused to comment on the rumours, so nothing has been confirmed. It has already been announced that Jodie Whittaker will be playing the role of the Time Lord - the first time that a woman has taken on the part. Recent companions have been played by female actors, such as Jenna Coleman, Pearl Mackie and Billie Piper. We will have to wait to see if the Doctor will have a male sidekick this time. Now chair of the Edge Foundation, Mr Baker says young people must be taught the skills for jobs of the future. He warned that many white collar and professional jobs will be under threat from artificial intelligence. "Jobs are being lost in professions we used to regard as careers for life." Lord Baker has produced a report, the Digital Revolution, calling for the education system to respond to the way in which technological change will affect the future jobs market. "The economy is changing at an unprecedented pace," he said. "Artificial intelligence, robots, 3D printing and driverless vehicles will impact on sectors as varied as the legal profession, transport and construction." Lord Baker, who heads the Edge charity, which promotes vocational education, says figures from the Bank of England show that automation could put 15 million jobs at risk. But he warns that the provision of the necessary digital skills is "almost entirely absent from the core curriculum in mainstream schools". The report calls for a stronger emphasis on work-related technical skills, linked to the impact of digital technology. Try our calculator to see if your job is at risk of automation Lord Baker says that schools should be able to teach computer science to GCSE, rather than modern languages, and wants at least half of all 16-year-olds to take the exam at that level. He says that apprenticeships should be available from the age of 14, combining a "core academic curriculum with hands-on learning". All primary schools should have 3D printers and design software, he says, and they should bring in outside experts to teach coding. "We should not go back to a 19th Century diet of academic subjects for all. We need 21st Century education for a 21st Century economy," said Lord Baker.

Bill Kintner retweeted a post implying that three female protesters were too unattractive to be sexually assaulted. The tweet drew criticism from other lawmakers, who threatened to submit legislation to boot him out of office. Hundreds of thousands of protesters around the world took to the street on Saturday, supporting a range of causes. Mayor resigns over Michelle Obama post Mr Kintner retweeted a comment Sunday by conservative radio personality Larry Elder that mocked female protesters. Mr Elder had posted a photo of three women holding signs apparently referring to Mr Trump's taped boast about grabbing women by the genitalia. The radio host had commented: "Ladies, I think you're safe." On Wednesday morning Mr Kintner posted his resignation on Facebook saying: "I look forward to not having to spend 75 more days with politicians." "To paraphrase Richard Nixon, You won't have Bill Kintner to kick around anymore," he added. Mr Kintner had already been under fire for the past five months after a sex scandal provoked calls for him to resign. The Republican lawmaker was fined $1,000 (£795) last year after admitting to using his work laptop computer to have cyber-sex with a stranger online. Other politicians around the country have faced criticism over social media postings about Saturday's women's rights protests. Indiana Republican state Senator Jack Sandlin shared a meme on Sunday showing women marching through Washington. It included the caption: "In one day, Trump got more fat women out walking than Michelle Obama did in 8 years" - referencing the former first lady's fitness campaigns. In a follow-up post, he denied having posted the image, implying that he had been the victim of hacking. President Trump was criticised during his election campaign for implying that the women who had accused him of sexual assault were too unattractive for him. A senior F1 source said Honda was "annoyed" by the development. It follows the discovery of a loophole and subsequent clarification of the rules by the FIA, the governing body. McLaren-Honda have been in contact with the FIA about the issue but said it would not comment further for now. The situation has arisen because of a lack of clarity in the rules concerning permitted engine developments. The intention was to freeze in-season development, to keep costs down. Renault and Ferrari had wanted to end the ban in an attempt to close the gap on Mercedes, which had the dominant power-unit in 2014. Honda has been told by the FIA it must submit its definitive 2015 engine designs by 28 February, whereas Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes can stagger improvements over the season if required. Because Honda's new engine is racing for the first time 2015, the FIA believes it is "fair and equitable" that Honda complies with the same restrictions as its rivals last year. Honda feels the ruling puts them at a disadvantage, and will meet the FIA next week to discuss the situation. A senior figure from one of Honda's rivals said the changes "won't make that much difference". Honda, which has returned to F1 this season following an absence of six years, has the option of lodging a protest against Ferrari, who discovered the loophole that has led to the change in interpretation of the rules by the FIA. Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes have so far not responded to requests to comment from BBC Sport. The season starts with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on 15 March.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has completed an investigation into claims against Katy Bourne during last year's PCC election. Its report has now been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). In a statement, Ms Bourne's office said it would be "inappropriate to comment" until the matter was concluded. "The office is aware the IPCC has passed its report into this complaint to the CPS," it said. It is alleged Ms Bourne made a false statement during the 2016 election regarding her expenses while serving as the PCC. An IPCC spokesman said: "A referral to the CPS is made when the IPCC investigation indicates that a criminal offence may have been committed. "It does not mean that criminal charges will necessarily follow." Manager Brendan Rodgers has two trophies in his debut season, following League Cup success in November, and has a Scottish Cup final with Aberdeen to look forward to next Saturday. The Celtic class of 2016-17 have set a number of new SPL/Premiership-era records on their way to a sixth consecutive title. Here are the key figures behind Scotland's 'invincibles'. No Scottish champions have gone unbeaten since the late 19th century. Celtic managed it in 1897-98, with Rangers going one better the next season, winning every game. However, those league campaigns were over 18 matches, not even half the duration of the current one. In the SPL/Premiership era, Celtic lost one game in their 2001-02 and 2013-14 successes. In 1967-68, both winners Celtic and runners-up Rangers were beaten just once. Only Juventus in Italy's Serie A (2011-12), Arsenal in England's Premier League (2003-04) and Barry Town in the League of Wales (1997-98) have been unbeaten champions over a 38-game campaign in recent history. The previous Scottish record was 103 points, set by Celtic in 2001-02 - Martin O'Neill's second season in charge. It is also a new European record, surpassing Welsh side Barry Town AFC, who reached 105 in 1996-97. Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the other European sides to have hit 100 or more points in a season. Again, Celtic surpassed a record of their own, having won 33 league games in the 2001-02 season. The champions scored four goals or more on 14 occasions. The biggest home win was 6-1 against Kilmarnock in September, while there were 5-0 away victories at Hearts and Partick Thistle. Celtic needed a final-day victory to edge past the 29-point margin of victory they managed in 2013-14. No mean feat considering runners-up Aberdeen set their best Premiership points tally with 76. Paris St-Germain set a new European mark last season when they finished 31 points clear in Ligue 1. Stuart Armstrong's second-half strike against Hearts on Sunday meant Celtic bettered the 105 league goals they scored in 2003-04. The champions scored in every league outing, averaging just over 2.7 goals a game. In 1966-67, under the legendary Jock Stein, Celtic netted 111 goals in 34 Division One games, returning an eye-watering 196 in all competitions on their way to a domestic treble and European Cup glory. The title was wrapped up in early April with a thumping 5-0 win at Tynecastle. The previous record was seven games to spare, set by Rangers in 1928-29 and equalled by Celtic in 2013-14, both over 38-game campaigns like this one.

Prosecutors are to decide whether the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) should face charges over allegations she made a false statement. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Champions Celtic completed an unbeaten Scottish Premiership campaign with a 2-0 win over Hearts at Celtic Park on Sunday.

The Labour leader said he was not "one of the doom-mongers" who thought new technology would "inevitably herald an era of mass unemployment". But he argued that adapting the UK for the jobs of the future "can't simply be left to the market". A recent report suggested robots could affect 30% of British jobs by 2030. The PwC study estimated that nearly a third of existing jobs in the UK were potentially under threat from automation, compared with 38% in the US and 21% in Japan, with manufacturing and retail at the greatest risk. "Technological change, from automation to decarbonisation, means many jobs and industries will disappear or shrink in the coming years and decades," Mr Corbyn told business leaders in London. "At every stage of economic and industrial history, jobs, industries and skills have been lost, replaced and transformed. "But when that happens at huge social cost, as it did for example in the very early days of the industrial revolution... people in desperation opposed mechanisation and opposed the bringing in of machines because they got no benefit from it." He added: "We can't simply leave it to the market." Instead, the public sector should "work with business to manage the social and economic effects of rapid technological change". Rejecting a pessimistic view of increasing automation, Mr Corbyn told the British Chambers of Commerce annual conference: "As with every other technological revolution, disappearing jobs will be replaced with new, as yet unforeseen forms of work." In its election manifesto, Labour promised that if it won power all further education courses would be free as part of a new national education service, with fees for adult education courses scrapped. Mr Corbyn called for a "step-change in skills and training", with anyone able to retrain at any point in their life. He also said there had been a "deep-rooted historical snobbishness" towards technical subjects. Mr Corbyn said there had been a "lost decade" in terms of wages and output and argued that businesses would prosper if education was "given laser-like attention by a committed government". The Conservatives have set a goal of creating three million new apprenticeships by 2020 as part of efforts to address skills gaps which British business has warned is holding the country back. To help pay for this, firms with a pay bill of £3m have had to pay an apprenticeship levy since April. Among the other speakers was Education Secretary Justine Greening, who told the conference that technical and further education needed more support and investment. "A skills revolution needs a technical education revolution," she said, calling on businesses to support so-called "T-level" technical qualifications in England and work placements. A songwriter called Katie Farrah Sopher claims Disclosure's White Noise, Latch and You and Me feature song words taken from her personal songbook, according to the Mail on Sunday. Sopher is claiming a reported £200,000 in damages for the tracks. She accuses ex-boyfriend Sean Sawyers of stealing the songbook and selling lyrics to music industry contacts. The songwriter claims the book features lyrical content inspired by a "toxic" relationship with Sawyers. In addition to the accusations towards her ex-boyfriend, Sopher is personally suing Disclosure and their collaborators on the three tracks; Sam Smith, AlunaGeorge and Eliza Doolittle. White Noise, which features AlunaGeorge peaked at number two in the UK, while You & Me featuring Eliza Doolittle reached number 10. Latch, got to number 11 in the UK and features Sam Smith. All three of the tracks appear on Disclosure's number one debut album Settle. Sopher, from East London, is also seeking damages from dance duo AlunaGeorge, both for their contribution to White Noise and because she claims she wrote lyrics which appear in their top 20 single Attracting Flies. According to the Mail On Sunday, Sawyer denies all allegations and says he's never seen the book in question.

It reported pre-tax profit up 15.8% to £690m in the first half of the year. The world's largest advertising group said worldwide GDP growth "seems to have slowed in the second half of last year and into the new year". The firm said trading in the UK was stronger in July, "perhaps reflecting a post-Brexit vote recovery, driven by a weaker pound sterling". WPP chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell had previously warned about the impact of leaving the EU on the UK economy. Speaking to the BBC, Sir Martin said that he was pleased with the company's performance post-Brexit, acknowledging that the UK had "perked up" in July after the vote. But he suggested that it might have been even stronger without the referendum. Overall, he said it was too early to tell how the vote to leave the EU would affect the economy. Asked if he wanted Brexit negotiations to start as soon as possible, in other words triggering the "article 50" clause which would prompt the exit talks, Sir Martin said: "Basically, yes." "What business wants is things resolved as quickly as possible, but practically, that's pretty impossible," he said, adding that the government needed time to negotiate. "We've outsourced trade negotiations for the last 10 years or so, so building an organisation that can negotiate all these trade agreements... is a very big task and will take a long time." In its release, WPP said there was "limited likelihood of a worldwide recession" but named Russia, Brazil and the UK as possible countries that could see two quarters of negative growth. WPP's like-for-like net sales grew 3.8% for the six months to 30 June. Shares in the company were the biggest risers on the FTSE 100, up more than 6% in afternoon trade, as analysts hailed the results as "robust". "Quite apart from the immediate boost to the quality of its overseas earnings given the weakness of sterling in the wake of Brexit, "maxi-quadrennial" events such as the Olympics and the impending US elections also provide an environment in which the company will typically prosper," said Richard Hunter from Wilson King Investment Management.

The results, written up by MIT Review, revealed that its IQ was equivalent to that of a four-year-old. Increasingly machines are getting better at specific tasks such as playing chess, recognising pictures and making complex commutations. But general intelligence is still proving elusive for most of them. The MIT machine - dubbed ConceptNet4 - was put through its paces by researchers from the University of Illinois, led by Stellan Ohlsson. The IQ test they chose, known as the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, is commonly used in US schools. It is designed for young children and measures intelligence in five categories: The questions had to be modified for the computer and some programming was necessary to allow the machine to understand what it was being asked. It did well on vocabulary and similarities, had an average score on information and scored poorly in the word reasoning and comprehension categories. "The ConceptNet scored a [mark] that is average for a four-year-old child, but below average for five to seven-year-olds," the researchers concluded. A lot depended on how the machine interpreted the questions. For instance, in answer to the question 'Why do we shake hands?", the machine produced the result "epileptic fit". But when the team reduced the question to just "shake hand", the computer came back with more relevant answers such as "flirt", "thanks" and "meet friend". Sometimes its answers appeared completely illogical - in response to the question "Where can you find a teacher?", it came back with "piano" and "band". The researchers could not explain such anomalies but did suggest ways that the test could be improved - for instance, inputting questions using natural language via a virtual assistant such as Siri or Cortana. The history of AI research stretches back to the 1950s. In the early days, computers were given knowledge bases and worked things out using logic and reasoning. That method of teaching computers has been surpassed in recent decades by a new era of machine learning, where AIs are given large quantities of data from which they can learn. The researchers concluded that both approaches might be useful in future. "In general, recent successes in AI have been mostly learning-driven and the era of knowledge-driven AI appears to have passed. Perhaps knowledge bases that are a hybrid of the two paradigms will play a role in the next round of AI progress." The BBC recently ran a season of AI coverage - you can catch up on the series in the Intelligent Machines index. Here are a few of the highlights: Last season's 24-goal man, Andy Cook, put the hosts ahead with his second of this campaign after battling past two defenders on the left and slamming home. Though the score was close, Tranmere in truth should have won by more. James Norwood headed Steven Jennings' corner against the post and Cook was denied by a clearance off the line. Alex Flisher levelled midway through the second half, squeezing the ball under Scott Davies. However Steve McNulty bundled home a deserved winner 10 minutes from time, as another Jennings corner caused trouble in the Maidstone box.

Former Bristol Rovers man Brunt, 23, has been out since March 2016 with a cruciate ligament injury. He has scored 13 goals in 57 appearances for the Pilgrims, but is out of contract this summer. Ijaha, 27, has had an operation on a pelvic problem and has made just three appearances in League Two this term. "Neither of those two will play again this season," Adams told BBC Sport. "With six games to go, if they get themselves back into full-time training there are a good number of players that are well ahead of them so it's not going to be possible for them.

Plymouth are currently second in the League Two table, with a 10-point cushion in the automatic promotion places. She led a ceremony to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the coup that brought the general to power. She demanded an end to impunity and said Chileans had the right to find out what happened to the victims. The opposition has boycotted an official ceremony to mark the coup. At the ceremony, centre-right President Sebastian Pinera criticised the "violent coup that started a 17-year period of military rule". But he said it was "the predictable outcome" after "repeated violations of the rule of law" under the government of socialist President Salvador Allende. He denounced the violations committed during the period and said: "Many of us could have done a great deal more to safeguard the respect of human rights." The event, at the presidential palace in Santiago, was attended by Ms Bachelet's rival in November's presidential election, Evelyn Matthei. During the opposition ceremony held earlier at the capital's Museum of Memory and Human Rights, Ms Bachelet dismissed the view that Chile was on the verge of a civil war in 1973. "It is fair to say there was a lack of dialogue and a polarisation of the politics then. But it is unfair to say that the the military coup was inevitable," she said. She said "painful wounds" were reopened every time Chile looked into its past, but said the aim was not to victimise anyone, but "to get to know the truth." More than 3,000 people are estimated to have been killed during Gen Augusto Pinochet's government, which came into power on 11 September 1973. Mr Allende committed suicide inside the presidential palace - Palacio de la Moneda - after it was encircled by troops and bombed by Chilean air force planes. According to official figures, some 40,000 people were victims of human rights abuses, including Ms Bachelet and her mother, who were tortured before going into exile. She returned to Chile after the end of Gen Pinochet's rule and was elected the country's first woman president. The BBC's Gideon Long in Santiago says 40 years on, Chile is still split over the events that preceded the coup and General Pinochet's legacy. These divisions are evident in the campaign to succeed Mr Pinera. Chileans go to the polls on 17 November to choose between Ms Bachelet and Ms Matthei, the daughters of two generals who were good friends and neighbours until the 1973 coup. Gen Alberto Bachelet, who remained loyal to Mr Allende, was arrested, tortured and died in detention. Gen Fernando Matthei became a senior member of Gen Pinochet's regime.

Manager Derek Adams has confirmed Plymouth Argyle striker Ryan Brunt and midfielder David Ijaha will not play again this season. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Chilean opposition leader Michelle Bachelet has called for a full investigation on the human rights abuses committed during Gen Pinochet's rule.

The Proteas face England in three one-day internationals, the first of which is at Headingley on Wednesday. Hosts England are one of the favourites to win the 2017 Champions Trophy, starting on 1 June, having exited at the group stages of the 2015 World Cup. "They did really well to come back from that," said De Villiers. Eoin Morgan's side have lost just one one-day series at home, against world champions Australia, since defeat by Bangladesh knocked them out of the World Cup. "They are a really talented group of players - the way they came back from that earned a lot of respect around the world," added De Villiers. "They must be one of the favourites, in their home country and playing some really good cricket of late." South Africa are top of the ODI rankings but De Villiers, 33, said his side will be wary of facing England's "stand-out player" Ben Stokes. All-rounder Stokes, 25, scored his maiden Twenty20 century for Rising Pune Supergiant in the Indian Premier League, also taking 12 wickets, but will not play in the final after being recalled by England. "He's definitely got something special about him," said De Villiers. "A lot of guys lose their way in the IPL, and others find the next level in their game - Ben Stokes definitely lifted his game and I think it would have done him the world of good." South Africa also take on England in three Twenty20 internationals and four Tests this summer, but De Villiers has ruled himself out of the Test series in order to rest. "I haven't retired - but I'm not going to change my decision," he said. "I'll look indecisive, but it's important that I'm feeling physically and mentally healthy, and that's what I decided on." Marvin Rees said there was little point in having a "black-and-white argument over cuts or no cuts". He was speaking after hundreds of people gathered to call for justice for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire. A rival for his job said protest was "often the only way people feel they can make their voices heard". Mr Rees, who took over as the Labour mayor of Bristol last year, said in October that budget cuts of £92m had to be made to Bristol City Council's budget by 2022. Earlier this month, proposals including the end of funding for some libraries, the closure of public toilets and reducing funding for lollipop ladies were put forward to help balance the books. Following the protest, Mr Rees said the city needed "a constructive but challenging relationship with government, not just a combative one". "We welcome constructive debate, but Bristol would be better served by a positive focus on what we can achieve together, rather than a black-and-white argument over 'cuts or no cuts'," he said. "If someone has better ideas that could really work, I'd urge them to come to the table rather than shouting from the sidelines." The protest was the latest in a series of marches in Bristol in recent weeks, and organisers insisted that continued protest was vital. Jane McDowell, from Bristol housing campaign group Acorn, said the Grenfell Tower fire "typifies austerity and why we need to put our foot down against it". Green Party former mayoral candidate Tony Dyer said: "We need to recognise that public protest is often effective. "This is why politicians are keen to be at the forefront of marches when they or their party are not the target." The two blocks of six and seven storeys will be built between Belfast Metropolitan College and the Public Records Office for Northern Ireland. The proposal also includes over 14,000 sq m of space for research and development. The minister, Mark H Durkan, said the development would provide "much needed" high specification office space. He added: "It is anticipated that once completed this building will accommodate 2,000 workers at this highly desirable waterfront location. "Having this in place should help attract investment and encourage further job creation." The US bank Citigroup occupies a substantial amount of office space in Titanic Quarter but it is not clear if a tenant has been identified for the new development. High-end office space in Belfast has been dwindling as little development has taken place in the aftermath of the property crash. However some new development is now beginning to take place. Belfast Harbour Commission is currently developing office space in a project known as City Quays 1.

The Glasgow-based company said it had acquired Colton Packaging Teesside in a deal worth up to £1.25m. Colton was part of Colton Packaging, an established regional distributor of protective packaging materials based in Leicester. Last year the Teesside operation generated sales of about £3m. Macfarlane is paying an initial sum of just over £1m for Colton, which is based in Thornaby near Middlesbrough. It will pay a further £200,000 if Colton achieves "key financial objectives" in the 12 months following the acquisition. Macfarlane has made several acquisitions in recent years in an effort to expand its packaging distribution offering. In 2014, it bought Network Packaging and Lane Packaging, and last August it acquired Nottingham-based One Packaging Ltd. Macfarlane chief executive Peter Atkinson said: "Colton Packaging Teesside is a high quality business with a good team of people who will complement the Macfarlane Packaging Distribution business based in Newcastle and strengthen Macfarlane's presence in the north east of England." Macfarlane Group currently employs more than 750 people at 28 sites, mainly in the UK and Ireland. Fiji international prop Saulo, 28, who will tour with his country this summer, has joined from Toulon.

Flanker Schatz, 26, who has made two appearances for Australia, arrives from the Melbourne Rebels. The Premiership club have now signed 10 players since gaining promotion from the Championship. John Welch, 74, from Corsham and his partner Eileen Swannack, 73, from Biddestone, have been formally identified as victims of the attack. The couple had been together for nearly a decade and had travelled to Tunisia twice a year for the past eight years. They had been officially listed as missing since the attack in Sousse on 26 June. Relatives of Ms Swannack and Mr Welch are getting family liaison officer support. On Wednesday a book of condolence opened at St Nicholas' Church in Biddestone to remember the couple. The first bodies of those killed have arrived back in the UK but the process of identifying victims continues in Sousse. Thirty of the 38 victims are thought to have been British.

The 24-year-old back-rower, who signed from London Broncos in 2014 and went on to be an ever present last season, also has an option for a third year. "George has been the model of consistency during his time at the club," said head coach Ian Watson. "He was a key part of our squad last season and held the pack together alongside Craig Kopczak." The 23-year-old will ride alongside fellow Welshmen Geraint Thomas and Luke Rowe in Australia's Tour Down Under from 14-22 January. Doull left Team Wiggins to join Team Sky for the 2017 season. "My big aim for the year is that big week in April in the Tour of Flanders," Doull told BBC Radio Wales. The Olympic gold medallist says the race, which starts and finishes in Adelaide, will be "a big step up" for him. He continued: "I've raced on the road to a decent level before, but never anything world tour. "I'm looking forward to getting my first proper race with Sky under my belt and doing my job and trying to put a good performance in for the team." Team Sky's leading riders for the southern hemisphere race, including Colombian Sergio Henao and Dutchman Danny van Poppel, will look to thrive in the race as well as Thomas and Doull. "We'll be going into the race with multiple options with Sergio and G [Thomas] potentially for the overall title and Danny for the flat days, so there won't be any days off," Doull said. "We're working hard for the whole period, but I think that's one of the aims of doing the race anyway is to get a good workload in before the bigger races later in the year." Doull is aware of the impact the Tour Down Under can have on his career, much like how Thomas and Rowe have benefitted from their own experiences in the competition. "Speaking to people like Luke and Geraint, they say it's a really good way to start your year," he said. "You have to come out to Australia quite early, do a couple of weeks of training then obviously straight into the first world tour race of the year. "It's going to be good to get a good one under my belt quite early. It's a nice way of doing it as well, getting away from the cold and the winter of Cardiff and escaping to the sun and getting a consistent block of work done.

Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores and Cleveland Cavaliers' Dan Gilbert are hoping to build a new stadium for the team in the downtown of the city. In a statement, the pair said their proposal had won support from the MLS. The league is aiming to increase its size from 20 to 24 teams by 2020 and then ultimately to 28. "Detroit is rising and we know firsthand the power of sports to lift a community and drive a civic renaissance," read the Gores and Gilbert statement. "We are very excited about the prospect of bringing Major League Soccer to Detroit and building an ownership group that represents a cross-section of investors." Gilbert added: "Bringing a team downtown will also further energise Detroit's urban core, which is critical to the entire city's overall health and vibrancy." David Beckham's Miami franchise is aiming to be one of the first quartet to join the league.

New research suggests that most of it was put in place just five to six million years ago. Earlier studies had claimed the canyon was perhaps 70 million years old. The latest investigation, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, agrees that some segments are very ancient, but says the full system is young. "The 'old canyon model' has argued that the Grand Canyon was carved 70 million years ago in the same place and to nearly the same depth as the modern canyon. We are refuting that," said Prof Karl Karlstrom from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. "We are also refuting the 'young canyon model', which claims the canyon was cut entirely in the last six million years. Instead, we show that the Colorado River used some old segments as it found its path from the Rockies to the Gulf of California in the past six million years. "What's different here I think is that we finally have a description of the Grand Canyon that honours all the hard-won data," he told BBC News. Whether Karlstrom's and colleagues' paper will actually end the debate that has raged for 140 years remains to be seen. What is in little doubt is the great splendour of the canyon. Running for almost 450km and to a depth of 1,800m, it is simply too vast for the five million tourists who visit the National Park each year to take it in. Many try their best by taking a plane or helicopter ride through the deep incision, which records nearly two billion years of Earth history. That huge scale has also been problematic for scientists who have had to gather data from many different locations through the canyon in an attempt to gauge its true age. The latest study used a couple of techniques that go under the term thermochronology. This measures changes in the structure of rocks' mineral crystals as they get cooler through time. This transition occurs as deeply buried rocks come closer to the surface as erosion removes overlying layers of material. Karlstrom's team used thermochronology to constrain the timing of the formation of four of the Grand Canyon's five segments. They found that two of the three central segments - known as the "Hurricane" segment and the "Eastern Grand Canyon" - were indeed ancient palaeocanyons. The former was cut between 50 and 70 million years ago; the latter was incised some 15 to 25 million years ago. But they determined that the two end segments of the canyon - known as the "Marble Canyon" and the "Westernmost Grand Canyon" - had to have been carved in the last five to six million years, when the Colorado River managed to link up the full system that everyone recognises today. "If you were to add up the 280-mile length and ask, 'how much is young? More than half of it is young; a quarter of it is middle-aged - 15-25 million years old; and the rest of it is 70 million years old," said Prof Karlstrom. "It continues to deepen today, of course. Right now, over the course of the last half-a-million-years or so, it's been deepening by about the thickness of a piece of paper every year. "It's a beautiful place to work and a wonderful laboratory where the geology is laid bare. It's great for research, and for the many students we take there to teach."

An alternative location was being sought after the organisers said holding it in Southend was too costly. However, Tom Curtis from the Southend Airshow Community Interest Company (SACIC) said those efforts had failed. The event - that ran for 28 years until 2012 - once attracted up to 400,000 people. Mr Curtis said: "We now have to face the reality that although there may be other air shows in Essex in the coming years, we will not have an air show in Southend."

The findings by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) are in contrast to other parts of the UK, especially London, where both sales and new buyer demand fell sharply. Rics said demand for new homes in Scotland grew in July. It noted that more surveyors reported a growth in new buyer inquiries. The number of homes coming onto the market also increased in July, with 8% of respondents reporting an increase in new instructions, Rics said the continuing supply and demand imbalance was creating more optimism in the Scottish market, compared with the rest of the UK. In July, more surveyors reported prices rise over the month, while 32% of respondents expected house prices to increase over the next three months. However some surveyors said the Commonwealth Games, the school holidays and the approaching independence referendum led to a slowdown in house sales in their areas last month. Rics director Sarah Speirs said: "The housing market in Scotland continues to show an imbalance between supply and demand in Scotland and this impacts on prices. "With demand from new buyers at the highest rate since December 2013 and fewer properties coming onto the market, there is certainly the need for investment in regeneration and creation of new stock in order to keep prices at a sustainable level." Last month, Registers of Scotland reported that the average price of a house in Scotland had risen by 5.9% in the past year. It said the average cost of a home in the three months to June was just over £162,000. The total value of sales across Scotland in the quarter increased by 29.7%, compared with a year ago, to stand at almost £3.95bn. The number of sales also increased by more than 22%, indicating sustained growth over the past year.

Police had attended the alert after a suspicious object was discovered at Butcher Gate shortly after 23:30 BST on Friday. It was later declared a hoax. During the clearance operation, fireworks and petrol bombs were thrown at police in the Fahan Street area. There were no injuries reported. Police said it was also reported that the windscreen of a van was smashed in Fahan Street shortly after midnight. Daniel Shepherd, 23, from Skewen, Neath Port Talbot, said he acted in self-defence when he hit Jonathon Thomas, 34, outside the Cross Keys pub in Swansea city centre last November. Mr Thomas died in hospital about an hour after the attack on 1 November. The defendant has denied manslaughter at his trial at Swansea Crown Court. Mr Shepherd's barrister Nicola Powell read a dozen character references, including ones from a former teacher and a retired police officer, who described him as popular, polite and respectful. Earlier, the jury was shown CCTV footage of an incident on Oxford Street in Swansea city centre, involving Mr Thomas. In the footage, he is seen staggering towards a group of people, before punching a man once in the face, knocking him off his feet to the ground. Witness Rhys Thomas told the jury that Jonathon Thomas bumped into his friends and wanted to fight him before throwing a punch at him. "He was fairly intimidating and aggressive towards us," he said. "He kept on asking me to go round the corner for a fight with him." During the trial, the prosecution has claimed Mr Shepherd had reacted aggressively when Mr Thomas bumped into him outside the pub in the early hours of the morning. Michael Jones, prosecuting, had told the jury that the defendant had struck Mr Thomas from behind. "This was a punch delivered in anger and without any justification," he said. Mr Shepherd was arrested at his home in Neath later that morning. The court heard he appeared to be in shock when he was informed Mr Thomas was dead. The judge is expected to begin summing up the case on Tuesday. The plant had already obtained approval from the country's nuclear watchdog. But locals had petitioned the court in Fukui prefecture, where Takahama is located, to intervene, saying it would not withstand a strong earthquake. All 48 commercial reactors in Japan remain offline following 2011's Fukushima disaster. The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Tokyo says the ruling is a serious blow for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push to have the reactors restarted. Mr Abe has said the shutdown is damaging the struggling economy, forcing Japan to import expensive fossil fuels to make up the power shortfall. The operators of Takahama plant, Kansai Electric, said the plant met heightened safety standards brought in by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) after Fukushima. But the court agreed with nine local residents who filed an injunction, and ruled that the company had been overly optimistic in assuming that no major quake would hit the region, national broadcast NHK reports. It also criticised the NRA safety standards as "lacking rationality". Kansai Electric said it was considering appealing against the ruling. Before the accident, caused by a massive quake and tsunami, about 30% of Japan's power was nuclear generated. So far only two reactors - in Kagoshima prefecture in the far south - have been approved for restart. They are expected to become operational later this year, but this move is also being challenged in court. The gold was concealed in mobile phones packed in boxes in the cargo of the plane at Chennai airport. India is one of the world's main gold consumers and imports are seen as a major contributor to the country's account deficit. It raised duty on imports of gold jewellery to 10% from 8% last year .

The central bank says gold imports amounted to $3.9bn during the quarter ending last December, down from $16.4bn in the previous three months. It is not clear who the sender and the recipient of gold discovered at Chennai airport were, but officials said the plane arrived from Hong Kong. Last November cleaners found a stash of 24 gold bars worth more than $1.1m in the toilet compartment on board a Jet Airways flight at Kolkata airport. The plane had arrived from Bangkok.

But who were the stand-out performers in Bordeaux? BBC Wales Sport's Dafydd Pritchard gives his ratings. Called in to replace the injured Wayne Hennessey, who was forced out with a back problem, the 22-year-old Liverpool keeper was solid in his first international start, punching well from crosses and making a handful of decent saves. Coped well with the threat of Slovakia winger Vladimir Weiss and gave Wales some useful width on the right. Comfortable on the ball and focused in defence, the West Brom defender played his part in a determined team display. The Swansea man led his defence with authority, making timely blocks and interceptions without ever seeming flustered. As well as making a crucial block to deny Marek Hamsik a certain goal in the third minute, the Tottenham defender was excellent as he carried the ball out of defence. A typically combative display from the Swansea full-back, who stood up to the robust physicality of Slovakia. Playing in place of Joe Ledley, who is still regaining match fitness after recovering from a broken leg, the Wolves midfielder grafted and kept the ball well. Typically industrious at the base of midfield and wise in his use of the ball. A pivotal player for Wales. Guilty of over-complicating things in the first half, the Arsenal midfielder's ambitious passes and flicks did not come off - but he had a hand in the winning goal.

Four homeless people took legal action against Birmingham City Council, claiming individuals were being denied statutory rights. But at the High Court, Mr Justice Hickinbottom ruled against all four. Figures did not support a proposition that as a policy or in practice homeless applicants were being systemically rejected, he said. The judge said in each of the four cases he had concluded there had been no breach of duty or no substantial breach of duty. He said the council was the largest housing authority in the country and owned 63,000 "housing units". In a written ruling, the judge said Birmingham had "substantial areas of significant social deprivation" and the homeless population might be expected to be higher than in other areas. But he added: "The statistical figures do not give any support to the proposition that, as a policy or approach in practice, the council is systemically turning away homeless applicants." The judge said claimants who made an application for housing as a homeless person claimed the manner in which the council dealt "with his or her application was unlawful; and, further, that that manner reflected systemic failings". He stated: "They say that the council, advertently or inadvertently, both in their own specific cases and generally, discourage and divert applications so that individuals are denied their statutory rights to have their situation properly inquired into and be given interim accommodation whilst those inquiries are being made." But the judge said claimants had failed to prove any breach of statutory duty.

The World Triathlon Series - the sport's premier event - begins on March 3, with live coverage and highlights across the BBC Sport website and the Red Button. The report was prepared for Saudi Arabia's legislative assembly, the Shura Council, by a well-known conservative academic. Though there is no formal ban on women driving in Saudi Arabia, if they get behind the wheel, they can be arrested. Saudi women have mounted several campaigns to try to overturn the ban. Aside from the practical difficulties it creates, they say it is also illogical as in trying to keep them under family control and away from men, it actually puts them in daily contact with a male driver. The issue has received huge international attention. Some Saudi women feel it has attracted too much interest, obscuring other equally important issues. As part of his careful reform process, King Abdullah has allowed suggestions to surface that the ban might be reviewed. This has angered the conservative religious elite - a key power base for any Saudi ruler. Now, one of their number - well-known academic Kamal Subhi - has presented a new report to the country's legislative assembly, the Shura. The aim was to get it to drop plans to reconsider the ban. The report contains graphic warnings that letting women drive would increase prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce. A Saudi woman who has campaigned for women drivers told the BBC that the report was completely mad. She said the head of the Shura had assured women campaigners that he was still open to hearing the case for lifting the ban.

Intelling Limited provides customer services support for companies, such as TalkTalk and O2. The posts will be created over the next three years and pay salaries of £16,000 a year, on average. The company said 45 of the posts had already been filled. Invest NI is contributing £1m towards the project. Enterprise Minister Jonathan Bell said the investment was "positive news" for the Northern Ireland economy. "Intelling is an ambitious, young company and I welcome its decision to choose Northern Ireland as the location for its expansion," he said. "It creates much-needed jobs that offer flexible employment and the opportunity to develop transferable skills." Phil Morgan, chief executive of Intelling Ltd, said: "The availability of talent here and cost competitive environment, along with Invest NI support, made Northern Ireland the best choice for Intelling over alternative locations." The Ethiopian Football Federation president Juneydi Basha told BBC Sport that "the main reason for the decision was poor results at CHAN as well as in World Cup and African Cup of nations qualifying." Gebremedhin Haile has been appointed on an interim basis for Ethiopia's remaining 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Lesotho and Seychelles. He is a former international and has been coaching premier league side Mekelakeya since 2011 season and has won the Ethiopian Cup twice. Ethiopia failed to get past the group stage of the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda earlier this year picking up just one point from three games. Last year they were knocked out of 2018 World Cup qualifying by Congo losing 6-4 on aggregate. More recently results against Algeria have left them with little chance of qualifying for the 2017 Nations Cup in Gabon. Firstly they lost 7-1 away in Algeria in March and then drew 3-3 at home with the same opponents in two consecutive qualifiers. Ethiopia had led on three occasions in the second match but were unable to secure victory. The poor performance of the Walyas has left them trailing by five points behind Algeria's Desert Foxes in Group J with two matches to play. In a statement, the Ethiopian Football Federation cited "unmet targets" for Sahile's dismissal along with members of the federation's technical committee. The body said it has picked Sahile's successor but would disclose his identity only in the "next few days" once terms had been agreed. Sahile, an American of Ethiopian descent, is the third manager to be given his marching orders since Ethiopia came within two matches of a first-ever World Cup appearance in Brazil two years ago. But Ethiopia's fortunes have since waned and the Walyas failed to qualify for last year's Nations Cup after finishing bottom of the group with just one win.

Currently club's in England's top flight can spend £1.85m on their squad, with another £175,000 allowed for a marquee player outside of that. Koukash called from an increase in the cap in 2013 when he bought Salford and hopes to discuss the matter at a Super League meeting this week. "The cap is very, very restrictive," he told Rugby League Extra. "The fact that it is the same as it was five years ago tells you something and it is restricting you - you can't even keep it with the rate of inflation. "I'm not saying every owner or club is going to be able to do it but the fact that you're telling everybody to keep it below that level and the likes of [Leigh owner] Derek Beaumont, myself and [Warrington owner] Simon Moran - we've got the funds, we could go out and invest in trying to build stronger teams." After only securing their Super League status with an golden-point drop-goal in the Million Pound Game against Hull KR last season, Salford are fourth after winning five of their first eight games in 2017. It is the second full season for head coach Ian Watson after he replaced Iestyn Harris in 2015 and Koukash believes the 40-year-old former Red Devils scrum-half has made a difference. "Ian is a fantastic coach and what makes him one is the fact he is a very, very nice person," he told BBC Radio Manchester. "A coach is a leader more than anything else and his players are his soldiers - if the soldiers trust in the leader they'll do their best, and that is what I think has made an awful lot of difference this year. "We've got a very young side. This side will improve this year from last year and I believe they will improve further next year as well."

A woman, 33, from Milton Keynes, and a man, 26, from London, were arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit child cruelty. The Met Police said the girl had been travelling with them at the time. The arrests were made by officers raising awareness of FGM, forced marriage and honour based abuse. Officers said, as part of the operation, they had spoken to passengers who had travelled to the UK on various flights including from Abuja, Sierra Leone and Lagos. It is illegal to participate in arranging FGM in or outside the UK and those involved can face a prison term of 14 years. There has only ever been one, unsuccessful, prosecution in the UK, with three more cases set to be reviewed by lawyers. The Met said it had dealt with an increasing number of cases, rising from 29 reports in 2012 to 196 in the year to March 2016. His exit seems increasingly inevitable after a poor finish to the season. The Toffees are currently 12th in the Premier League table but have won just one of their last 10 league games. Supporters' groups are planning a protest at St George's Hall in Liverpool, where players and officials will gather on Thursday evening. The only potential sticking point is that Martinez still has three years left on a lucrative contract, worth a reported £4m a year, that he signed in the summer of 2014. Everton finish their season at home to relegated Norwich City on Sunday. The agent of Dutch coach Frank de Boer, who has just stepped down at Ajax, has stated he would be interested in the Everton job if it became available. Southampton's Ronald Koeman and Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini have also been linked with the club. Everton's board, led by new major shareholder Farhad Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright, have remained silent on Martinez's future. It had been expected they would wait until the end of the season before conducting a review but anger among Everton fans means a decision on Martinez's future could now be made earlier. Everton have produced three dismal away performances in succession in the Premier League, losing 4-0 at Liverpool, 3-1 at newly-crowned champions Leicester City and 3-0 at Sunderland on Wednesday. They also lost the FA Cup semi-final to Manchester United. In addition, Martinez has presided over the worst home record in Everton's history this season, losing eight of their 18 games so far. They have won only five league matches at Goodison Park, with two of those coming against relegated Aston Villa and Newcastle United.. Martinez was appointed Everton manager in summer 2013, succeeding David Moyes after he left for Manchester United. The 42-year-old Spaniard guided Everton to fifth place with 72 points in his first campaign - a club record in the Premier League era - but the Toffees managed just 47 the following season, finishing 11th.

Defendant Stephen Anthony Hough, 58, of Maes y Dre, Flint, is charged with the murder and rape of Janet Commins between 5 January and 12 January 1976. He appeared at Mold Crown Court on Monday and formally pleaded not guilty to her murder. Mr Justice Lewis agreed to an application for the start of the trial to be put off until Tuesday afternoon. The body of Janet Commins was found under a hedge in a school playing field in Flint on 11 January, 1976. Ministers are expected to announce that the UK will cut carbon emissions by 57% by 2032, from 1990 levels. The announcement will help reassure the investors needed to overhaul the UK's ageing energy system. The energy industry will be relieved after cuts in renewables subsidies and the vote to leave the EU, which influences so much of the UK's energy. Energy Secretary Amber Rudd said climate change remained one of the most serious long-term risks to the economy. Speaking at a business and climate summit in London, Ms Rudd said: "Climate change has not been downgraded as a threat. "We must not turn our back on Europe or the world. So while I think the UK's role in dealing with a warming planet may have been made harder by the decision last Thursday, our commitment to dealing with it has not gone away." Business spokesmen at the conference echoed a call by the former Labour Climate Secretary Ed Miliband for the prime minister immediately to ratify the Paris climate accord in which nearly 180 countries agreed to cut carbon emissions. I understand, though, that there will be a warning note from the government's advisers - the Committee on Climate Change. They are expected to press ministers to urgently produce new policies to back up its ambitions. The committee has previously calculated that the government's targets for low-carbon energy are on track, but said that a new approach is needed on CO2 emissions from housing as well as agriculture and transport - two sectors where emissions are growing. Committee members have expressed their concern at the government's failure to support carbon capture and storage technology, which will allow fossil fuels to continue to be burned. The prime minister said it was essential for the UK - before he withdrew the funds supporting the technology. Follow Roger on Twitter @rharrabin

The 34-year-old, who was detained on Wednesday in Birmingham, can be kept in police custody until the evening of 23 November. He was arrested on suspicion of "the commission, preparation and instigation" of acts of terrorism under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000. A search of a property in the city has been completed. West Midlands Police said the arrest was planned and intelligence-led and there was no threat to the public's safety. Aberdeen claimed their first win at Ibrox since 1991, Graeme Shinnie and Ryan Christie scoring before Martyn Waghorn's reply for the hosts. Caixinha said he was left waiting over 15 minutes for McInnes in his office at Pittodrie in April before leaving. But McInnes insists his opposite number was "mistaken". Caixinha said following his side's 2-1 defeat in Glasgow: "I was just saluting him and saying I didn't understand the reason why he invited me to be received in his office and didn't show up at the previous match. "So I said that if you didn't show up in the previous match, you are definitely not welcome to come to my office. It is a question of respect. If I am not being respected then, please, don't show up. "If he didn't show up and I waited more than 15 minutes, what do you call that?" Media playback is not supported on this device But McInnes said of events at Pittodrie after Rangers' 3-0 win on 9 April: "I was doing my media duties as I normally do and there is absolutely no way I would be like that with any manager and I never will. "Every manager is welcome in my office and I always make the point. "It's not something you can aim at me. He's wrong, he's mistaken. If he thinks that then maybe he should have said to me before - I don't know. "[Assistant] Tony Docherty and my staff were there at the time and told me they came in, had a quick glass of red wine and shot away. They made their apologies for having to leave so soon. "I was still doing my media work and it was no longer than any other time. I would never disrespect any manager in terms of after the game." The Dons boss had said this week that Rangers "should probably be embarrassed that they've not finished second" owing to the Glasgow side's greater financial clout. Aberdeen will finish as Premiership runners-up for the third season running with Rangers consigned to third place. "Managers and benches can get passionate on the touchline," said McInnes. "There was a couple of calls, one or two things, and I argued with him as he did with me." And Caixinha added: "I'm not focused on Aberdeen next season. The focus at this club is always to be number one. "We don't misunderstand things here. I know what it represents to be in this chair, despite many others who should like to be here but they aren't. "I know what the job represents and I am here to defend the club and work for the club."

The dove, named Nancy, was found by Imdad Sardharwalla and taken to a local vet after being abandoned at birth. Once strong enough, she was set free but only made it as far as a house two doors away from the surgery. After making herself at home on the cooker, homeowner Rachel Lucken and others took to Facebook to find a permanent safe aviary for the bird. Mrs Lucken had spotted the dove being closely watched by cats in her garden after it was released from its aviary at the vet's on Sunday. More news from Hertfordshire After putting the photo on Facebook another neighbour, Charlotte Page offered to look after the bird, also posting images. "I think as it was hand-reared it basically doesn't want to be free and is craving human company," Mrs Page said. Mr Sardharwalla recognised Nancy's pictures and is leading the hunt for a more suitable permanent home. Nancy meanwhile is being cared for at the vet's once more. Dr Viola Ross-Smith, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said: "Some species of birds can imprint on the first thing they see, in this case maybe it was a human." "The dove may well think it actually is a human," she added. The 24-year-old maintained the sparkling form which has seen him set new Scottish records at 5,000m and 3,000m in the past five weeks. He broke away with four laps to go and enjoyed a celebratory final lap as he finished in 13 minutes, 44.00 seconds. Tom Farrell pipped fellow Englishman Andy Vernon for second place. "I am absolutely buzzing," said Butchart, a member of the Central Athletics Club based in Stirling.

Thomasina Bennett was temporarily staying at Milford House in Derbyshire while her daughters went on holiday. The wardrobe had not been fastened to the wall, but the home was cleared of a safety charge relating to this. Gerald Hudson, trading as Milford House, was instead convicted of a charge relating to monitor alarms. The personal activity monitor alarms (PAMs) were supposed to alert staff if residents got up in the night - but Mrs Bennett's alarm did not go off. Margaret Calladine, Mrs Bennett's elder daughter, said they chose the home because it used these monitors. "When we were talking to the manageress of the home we told her about my mum's problems and she assured us that my mum would be monitored at night if she got out of bed," Mrs Calladine said. "That was the main reason that we chose that home to put her in because to us that was vital, because we knew that she would get out of bed because she did at home, and she would fall and she can't get herself back up." Hudson, 72, from Ambergate, was fined £60,000 and ordered to pay £90,000 costs at Derby Crown Court. He was cleared of failing to make a sufficient assessment of the risks of using free-standing furniture, which would have been a breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act. However, he was found guilty of a breaching the act by failing to suitably assess the risks of using the PAMs, failing to ensure they were suitable for use, and failing to ensure employees were adequately trained to use them. In a statement, Milford House Partnership said the PAMs were "bought in good faith from a specialist company who had provided them to other healthcare organisations including the NHS". "Our staff were left absolutely devastated by the death of Thomasina Bennett," it said. "We truly believed that by adding in extra safety measures that went above and beyond the industry standards, that we were extending our duty of care to our residents."

A new Brexit forum bringing together the UK and devolved governments met on Wednesday. Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford represented the Welsh Government at the meeting, attended by UK Brexit Secretary David Davis. Mr Davis asked for the governments to present their analysis to help shape negotiation priorities. In return, he would share the UK government's "latest thinking". Mr Davis also offered a commitment to hold Brexit meetings monthly. "Naturally, there are different standpoints around the table, but the meeting was constructive and amicable. We will meet regularly and share our latest thinking as the UK shapes its negotiating strategy," he said. The new forum was set up following an earlier joint ministerial committee meeting on Brexit in October. At the time, leaders of the UK's devolved governments were told not to "undermine" Brexit negotiations. Mr Drakeford said: "We have to be fair that today was a genuine opportunity to put our point of view." He said the Welsh Government needed to understand how the content of such meetings was having an influence "elsewhere". The finance secretary said he spelled out the Welsh Government's position on Brexit, calling for "full and unfettered access" to the single market. Last week, First Minister Carwyn Jones told the Senedd the Welsh Government "will be a reliable partner" in the committee process. He had said it was "disappointing, and damaging to confidence, that the UK government has been unable, so far, to offer a coherent outline of its broad approach to EU negotiations". Mr Jones added: "The excuses for not doing so are running thin, and the credibility of the UK is not helped by prevarication and, it must be said, confused and mixed messaging." Denbighshire council's scrutiny committee decided on Thursday the future provision of all adult services in the county will also go before full council. The council runs care homes in Ruthin, Denbigh and Corwen, with 200 residents and 130 staff. The authority needs to save £18m over the next two years. The average petrol price is currently £1.07 per litre, but some supermarkets are already selling petrol at £1.03 per litre. A recent 2p drop in wholesale fuel prices could be passed on to consumers within a few weeks, the RAC said. According to RAC figures, the last time petrol fell below £1 was in the summer of 2009. A sharp fall in crude oil prices since last summer is behind falling prices at the pump. Brent Crude is now trading at around $44 per barrel. "We've seen the wholesale price of petrol and diesel drop by a couple of pence recently," RAC chief engineer David Bizley told the BBC. "There's typically about two weeks lag in the system. So there's a very good chance that within a few weeks people will be selling fuel at £1.01, and then the temptation to move that extra penny or so will be unavoidable," he said. Supermarkets use competitive petrol prices to bring people into their stores, he added. Since June 2014, oil prices have more than halved, falling from more than $100 per barrel. In the UK petrol prices are also affected by how the pound is trading against the dollar, and taxation. UK fuel duty has been frozen since 2011. Fuel price calculator: How much do you pay?

Trew became owner and chairman in 2010 but said he made the decision after his family were subjected to "foul and mindless abuse" in recent days. Notts, who appointed Jamie Fullarton as manager in January, are 16th in League Two having been relegated last season. "It is with very mixed emotions that I announce the end of my tenure," Trew wrote in an open letter to fans. "This is not me backing away from a challenge, I do not do that and, indeed, if I'd have wanted to I would have done so some time ago because it has been a difficult journey at times. "However, when my family are subjected to the kind of foul, mindless abuse that they have been in recent days, both in person and courtesy of the oh so brave keyboard warriors, regardless of whether this is just the minority ruining it for the larger supporter base, I have to make changes." Trew paid £1 to buy the Magpies from then chairman Peter Trembling six years ago and took on debts of more than £1.5m, which were built up during Munto Finance's brief period as owners. Despite initial success, with the club winning the League Two title at the end of Trew's first season, Notts have had nine full-time managers during his time. Trembling bought Notts from Munto Finance for a nominal fee, only five months after the Middle Eastern consortium took over at Meadow Lane. Steeplejacks are to scale the Giotto, Verona and Little Tower at Tower Works to re-point the brickwork. Debris is also to be removed from the Giotto Tower and its glass tiles repaired and replaced on the "recognisable and unique landmarks". The structures were dust extractors for a factory that made steel pins for the textile industry. The works was founded by T.R Harding in 1864-66 and the towers' design was influenced by his love of Italian architecture. The plan to transfer four listed buildings - the three towers and the Engine House in Holbeck - to Leeds City Council from the Homes and Community Agency was agreed in 2013. The Giotto Tower, the largest of the three, is based on Giotto's Campanile in Florence, while the Verona Tower takes its design from the Torre dei Lamberti in Verona. The Little Tower, the smallest of the three mimics a traditional Tuscan tower house. Councillor Richard Lewis said the towers were "among the city's most recognisable and unique landmarks and the site as a whole is a hugely important part of the city's heritage". The repair work to the towers is to be funded with money from the Homes and Communities Agency and is to start in June. The rest of the site is to be developed by Carillion for mixed use as a "key element" of the plans for Holbeck.

The group of retired generals and admirals declared the Republican nominee "has the temperament to be commander-in-chief". Mr Trump, who has highlighted veterans' issues during his campaign, called their support "a great honour". He has meanwhile been dismissing claims of impropriety over a political donation to a Florida official. The Washington Post reported on Monday that in 2013 Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi had been considering fraud charges against Trump University. But she dropped the investigation after a $25,000 (£18,600) contribution to her political campaign from the Donald J Trump Foundation. Mr Trump was fined because he did not disclose the contribution to the US tax authorities. The letter released on Tuesday by his campaign was signed by four 4-star generals. The former top brass stated they believe Mr Trump is "more trusted to be commander-in-chief than (Democratic nominee) Hillary Clinton". "We believe that such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world," they added. Both Mr Trump and Mrs Clinton will take part back-to-back in a national security forum on Wednesday. The forum, to be hosted by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, will include questions from an audience of military service members. Also on Tuesday, Mrs Clinton released a campaign ad featuring veterans who are critical of Mr Trump. Her ad includes a clip of Mr Trump from July 2015 casting doubt on leading Republican John McCain's war hero credentials. Arizona Senator McCain was tortured for more than five years as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese. Despite making support for the military a signature issue in his campaign, Mr Trump has at various times drawn criticism from military members. Most notably, he was involved in a recent spat with family members of a Muslim-American soldier killed during the Iraq War. Mr Trump, who has not served in the military, also created a stir last month when he accepted a veteran's gift of a Purple Heart. "I always wanted to get the Purple Heart," he said of the medal, which is awarded to soldiers wounded in war. "This was much easier." A youth zone and a new public space are planned for the building, with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) running the contest. A panel featuring leading architects and council representatives will shortlist the five best designs. Lancashire County Council (LCC) said the £13m redesign was "to make it more appealing to passengers". The LCC and Preston Youth Zone plans include a sports hall, arts facilities and 36 bus bays. Preston Bus Station was considered the largest bus station in Europe when it opened in 1969. The site, which was under-threat from demolition, was given Grade II listed status in 2013.

In his Mansion House speech Mr Carney will say individuals acted with a "culture of impunity". But he will warn: "The age of irresponsibility is over." Meanwhile, Chancellor George Osborne will say he plans to bind future governments to maintaining a budget surplus when the economy is growing. Mr Osborne will give the Mansion House audience more details of the proposal he first announced in January. Mr Carney will say markets responsible for trillions of pounds of global trade were stained by excess, collusion and abuse and "ethical drift" had taken hold. "Criminal sanctions should be updated, with market abuse rules similarly extended and maximum prison terms lengthened," he will add. He will say the Bank of England under his predecessor, Lord King, failed in the run-up to the financial crisis because of its arcane and ambiguous rules and its inability to identify risks in the banking system. It failed to effectively control markets where abuse was rife. "Though markets can be powerful drivers of prosperity, markets can go wrong," according to Mr Carney. "Left unattended, they are prone to instability, excess and abuse. "Personal accountability was lacking, with a culture of impunity developing. "All these factors contributed to an ethical drift. Unethical behaviour went unchecked, proliferated and eventually became the norm." Mr Osborne, who is also speaking at the Mansion House, will say: "The public rightly asks: 'Why is it after so many scandals so few individuals have faced punishment in the courts?' "Individuals who fraudulently manipulate markets and commit financial crime should be treated like the criminals they are - and they will be." The chancellor and the governor will speak as the Fair and Effective Markets Review is published - a report by the Bank, the Treasury and the Financial Conduct Authority on strengthening controls in financial markets. The report recommends a crackdown on rogue traders and a new Market Standards Board that would bring the "age of irresponsibility" to an end. The review says that criminal sanctions for market abuse should be extended to traders in markets such as foreign exchange, one of the markets hit hardest by manipulation by banks. It also says that maximum sentences for wrongdoing should be lengthened from seven years to 10. The report argues that the Senior Managers' Regime of controls already agreed for banks should be extended to more people in financial services, including traders and brokers. If agreed, that would mean that tens of thousands of people in financial services would be covered by the regulations which can punish wrongdoing with fines. The Bank said it would immediately agree to be covered by the regime, including the Governor himself. Mr Carney has reserved some of his harshest criticisms for the Bank of England itself and how it operated ahead of the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008. "In the run up to the crisis, the Bank's contribution to the effectiveness of markets fell short," the Governor will say. "Once under pressure, the Bank could not support the banking system. "The Bank neither identified the scale of risks in the system nor spotted gaps in the regulatory architecture. "[And] the Bank's arcane governance blurred the Bank's accountability and, by extension, weakened the social licence of markets." The Bank of England's governance had now been reformed and more would be done to strengthen the way it operated, according to Mr Carney. Site owner Westgate Oxford Alliance will showcase the plans at the Westgate Consultation suite in the centre from 10:00 to 17:30 BST until Wednesday.

Raj Mohammed, of Lifford Street in Sheffield, has also been charged with breaching a restraining order which prohibits him entering Nottinghamshire.

The move would help "stability" in Afghanistan, the government said in a statement, while vowing to "respond to fear and terror with full force". The US said on Thursday it would maintain 5,500 troops in Afghanistan into early 2017 - a shift from earlier plans to withdraw most by late 2016. The Taliban has vowed to continue attacks on US troops to force them out. There are currently 9,800 US troops stationed in Afghanistan, providing training and conducting counter-terrorism operations. The US originally planned to withdraw all but a small embassy-based force of 1,000 troops by the end of 2016. However, US President Barack Obama announced on Thursday that he would maintain current troop numbers for most of 2016, with 5,500 still in Afghanistan when he left office in 2017. Read more on Afghanistan: He described the policy shift as "the right thing to do", adding that the ending of Nato combat operations in December last year had come at a price, with many Afghan troops and civilians killed since the Taliban stepped up its insurgency. The Afghan government said the move showed the "renewal of the partnership" between the two countries, and vowed to step up its anti-terror efforts. It added that it remained open to the prospect of peace talks with the Taliban. Meanwhile, Afghan politician Shukria Barakzai told the BBC's Newsday that "more troops, more aid, more co-operation... can be the only way that we can survive [in] Afghanistan." The Taliban said it a statement that the US extension would not stop the militant group's "speedy progress", and said attacks on US troops would increase, forcing the US to reverse its "cruel strategy". Last week, the top US military commander in Afghanistan, Gen John Campbell, described the security situation as "tenuous" and said an enhanced military presence would be necessary if the Taliban were to be repelled. He was speaking days after the Taliban briefly seized the northern city of Kunduz - their most significant military gain since being ousted from power in 2001. After the Taliban's surprise attack on Kunduz, Afghan government forces managed to retake control of key areas of the city with the aid of Nato special forces and US air strikes. But the city's brief capture was seen as a setback for the Afghan authorities, under pressure to show they can keep the country secure without the backing of international forces. The south-eastern city of Ghazni has also seen fierce clashes between Taliban insurgents and US-trained Afghan troops in recent days. Barnes, 24, who rides for Canyon-SRAM, outsprinted Lotta Lepisto (Cervelo-Bigla) and Kirsten Wild (Cylance) to win the 100km stage from San Fior to San Vendemiano in Italy. Dutch rider Anna van der Breggen (Boels Dolmans), the 2016 Olympic road race gold medallist, leads the general classification. The 10-stage race ends on 9 July. The Giro Rosa is the only grand tour race left on the women's circuit after the Tour de France Feminin was cancelled. Barnes was among a group of eight riders, including Van der Breggen and defending champion Megan Guarnier, to split the peloton over the top of the climb at Muro Ca' del Poggio. Elena Cecchini attacked but was caught by the group and Barnes proved strongest in the sprint for the line. Barnes was ruled out of competition for eight months after breaking her ankle in August 2015 at the USA Pro Challenge and Sunday's triumph is her first following her lengthy recovery.

Sutton took control of the game with two goals inside the opening 10 minutes, first Coombes firing into the top corner from 25-yards with just five minutes on the clock before May doubled the lead three minutes later with a fierce 20-yard strike. Jamie Collins made the points safe four minutes before half-time with a free-kick which floated over the wall and into the top corner with goalkeeper Alex Lynch rooted to the spot, and then supplied the cross for Coombes to head home his second in the 46th minute. The hosts made it five in spectacular fashion as a corner was headed clear only for Nicky Bailey to rifle the ball home from 30-yards on the half-volley. James Alabi took advantage of a mistake by goalkeeper Will Puddy to reduce the arrears in the 79th minute from a tight angle and three minutes later he struck again when he collected a pass from Tom Shaw, cut inside and fired home.

First Half begins. Lineups are announced and players are warming up. The team have struggled in the first four races, with a best result of fifth place for Jenson Button in China. Button said he was "pragmatic" about the upgrade's potential impact. He said: "There'll be elements that work, elements that perhaps work in a different way than anticipated and elements that don't work. That's life." McLaren ended last season with the fastest car, with Lewis Hamilton and Button winning the last two races of 2012. McLaren have accrued just 23 points after the first four races of 2013, compared to 92 at the same time in 2012 But they chose to make major design changes for 2013 while most other teams evolved their previous cars, and its aerodynamics have not worked as expected. The car has been suffering from a lack of downforce and poor ride and McLaren were so desperate to make some progress after the first two races that they introduced some new parts for the third race in China without them going through the team's normal rigorous simulation process. Button said he hoped that running the car again on the Circuit de Catalunya, where two of the three pre-season tests took place, would give McLaren fresh insight into the car. "It's been difficult for the team to make consistent progress in the first four races," he said, "but I think returning to a circuit where we undertook two of the pre-season tests will give us a useful benchmark for our progress so far. "There's been a lot of talk about the importance of next weekend's upgrades but, as with every upgrade, they're simply part of the series of continuous improvements that are made across the season." He added: "Of course, I'm hopeful that it'll move us a step closer to the destination." Team principal Martin Whitmarsh said only that the team were "pushing ahead to develop MP4-28 and will be hoping for a productive weekend that will allow us gather a useful data set for the races ahead".

Adam Coombes and Adam May struck their first goals for Sutton in guaranteeing another season in the fifth tier with a comfortable victory over Chester, who slumped to their fifth successive defeat but are unlikely to be relegated.

The settlement is expected to be announced later this week. It follows a lengthy investigation of European banks by US authorities into illegal dollar transactions. In 2013, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) was fined $100m by US regulators for violating sanctions against Iran, Sudan, Burma and Cuba. Credit Agricole stands accused of transferring billions of dollars to accounts held by entities from those same countries between 2003 and 2008. The bank is paying the fine as part of a so-called deferred prosecution agreement. The agreement means the bank will not have to plead guilty to any charges as long as it meets certain requirements. It is understood that some of the bankers responsible for the wrongdoing have already been dismissed from their jobs at the bank. In August, Credit Agricole set aside $350m in provisions in relation to the case, saying it was at an "advanced stage" in discussions over the alleged sanctions violations and expected to reach a settlement in autumn 2015. Rival French bank BNP Paribas was ordered to pay a record $8.9bn fine earlier this year for similar alleged violations. Other European banks including Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale and UniCredit have already said they are co-operating with US investigations into alleged sanctions violations. From 1 September, the MenB vaccine will be added to the NHS childhood immunisation programme in Wales. The disease can cause meningitis and septicaemia, which can both be fatal. In the past 20 years, 500 to 1,700 people have developed MenB disease every year in England and Wales - around half of them under five-years-old. The UK is the first country to routinely offer the jab, alongside the MenC vaccine, which is given to children when they are three months old. Babies will be offered the three-dose vaccine with other routine jabs at two months, four months and 12-13 months. Children born on or after 1 July this year will get it alongside their other immunisations. Meningitis is an infection of the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms in babies and young children can include a fever, vomiting and refusing to feed, drowsiness or being unresponsive, rapid breathing or having an unusual high-pitched or moaning cry. Other symptoms include pale, blotchy skin, a stiff neck, red rash that does not fade under a glass and sensitivity to bright lights.

French bank Credit Agricole is understood to have agreed to pay $800m (£516m) to settle charges it broke US sanctions in Iran and other countries. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A new vaccination to protect children and babies against meningococcal group B disease is now available.

Sussex seamer Chris Jordan has been called up and will arrive in the United Arab Emirates during the first Test. Finn, 26, claimed 4-16 in the second tour match against Pakistan A before being ruled out of the current series opener in Abu Dhabi. "Gutted to be heading home from this UAE tour," he tweeted. The England and Wales Cricket Board said Finn will return home for a "period of off-loading to aid recovery". Former England spinner Graeme Swann told BBC Test Match Special: "It's a safe selection. They know what they will get with Chris Jordan. "I can see why people might bemoan the lack of variation. On this occasion, Jordan probably deserves to be out here." Finn returned to the Test side this summer after a two-year absence, taking 14 wickets in England's Ashes victory over Australia. Jordan, 27, has taken 21 wickets at an average of 35.80 from eight Tests, the most recent of which was the defeat by West Indies in Barbados in May. England play three Tests, four one-day internationals and three Twenty20s against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates. They tour South Africa over Christmas, with the first Test in Durban starting on Boxing Day.

The animal was spotted in Applecross in Wester Ross on the north west coast earlier this week. Several red deer graze around houses in the village and the stag snagged the item of underwear while passing a washing line. Megan MacInnes managed to get the snap of the deer with its colourful antler decoration. Her friend Anne Macrae, who also lives in Applecross and has photographed the deer in the village, said the animals were not tame, but bold enough to come close to houses to feed. She said the deer come down from a nearby hill, the Bealach, to forage. The incident happened at Baltimore Harbour on Tuesday evening. Irish state broadcaster, RTÉ, said the two who died have been named locally as Barry Ryan from Baltimore and Niamh O'Connor from Glanmire in Cork city. A Coast Guard helicopter has joined the search for Mr Ryan's son and Ms O'Connor's boyfriend, Barry Davis Ryan. It is understood the victims were part of a group walking close to Baltimore harbour when one of them fell into the sea. Two others then went into the water in an attempt to rescue the first person, but all three got into difficulties. The alarm was raised at 18:40 local time by a member of their group who remained on the shore. Mr Ryan Sr, who was in his 50s, and Ms O'Connor were brought ashore by a Baltimore-based lifeboat but they were both later pronounced dead. The search for Mr Ryan Jr was called off due to fading light on Tuesday night, but resumed early on Wednesday.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is now overseeing 43 such inquiries, up from 29 announced last year. All concern the Metropolitan Police. They relate to allegations of wrongdoing in cases involving prominent individuals or police officers. The IPCC said the claims being looked at related to "child sex offences dating from the 1970s to the 2000s". It is overseeing probes by the Met's Professional Standards Department. A IPCC spokesman said: "They all concern allegations of suppressing evidence, hindering or halting investigations, or covering up alleged offences because of the involvement of prominent individuals or police officers." Many of the investigations stem from allegations made by retired Met Police officers. The IPCC said it was also managing one investigation into Essex Police, while there is another, independent investigation being carried out into Sussex Police - making a total of 45. One of the 43 Met inquiries relates to the actions of police investigating the case of Vishal Mehrotra, an eight-year-old boy who went missing on the day of the Royal Wedding in 1981. His remains were found six months later in Sussex. Police have begun a murder inquiry and a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Police said the victim and the alleged assailant were residents in the home. Officers were called to De La Mer House care home in Naze Park Road, Walton-on-the-Naze, at about 09:00 GMT after reports a woman was seriously injured. DCI Simon Werrett said: "At this stage we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the investigation and our inquiries are ongoing." The premises are being guarded while forensic searches are conducted. Nearby resident and retired financial adviser John Knights said security was tight at the care home. He said: "My mother had to go into De La Mer about two years ago, and I can tell you that it was quite tricky to get in and out of there. "You couldn't just go up to the building and get in. You needed a security code to get in. It had electronic key pads on the door, so to get inside you needed to know those." A spokeswoman for the care home said there would be no comment until staff had spoken to police. Douglas Carswell, the UKIP MP for the area, said he was "very shocked". He said: "If you have got a loved one in a care home, you expect them to be safe. Walton-on-the-Naze is supposed to be one of the most peaceful and tranquil places there is. Of all the places you expect this to happen, this is the last." The Ligue 1 side received special dispensation from the French league to appoint the Italian, as he reached the manager's age limit of 65 last year. Ranieri guided the Foxes to the Premier League title in 2015-16 when the club defied odds of up to 5,000-1. But he was sacked in February with the club battling relegation after a run of five league losses in a row. Ranieri succeeds Sergio Conceicao after the former Portugal winger left Nantes in order to take over at Porto. Conceicao, 42, took charge of the Ligue 1 side in December 2016 and immediately oversaw four straight wins in the league as they finished seventh in France's top tier. Ranieri has experience of working in France, overseeing Monaco's promotion to Ligue 1 in 2012-13 and then guiding them to second place behind Paris St-Germain the following season before being released. Nantes will be Ranieri's 17th job in a managerial career that has spanned 31 years and has included all the major Italian clubs except AC Milan. Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Valencia twice are the other clubs he has managed outside Italy during that time. His league win with Leicester - which came after a dismal spell in charge of Greece - remains his only top-flight title. Nantes have won the French title eight times but have not done so since 2001, which was their last major honour.

Thomas Duncan, who caught the virus in his native Liberia, is now in a serious condition in hospital. This is the only Ebola case recorded so far in the US. The flat in Dallas where he lived before being isolated is being cleaned by hazardous materials specialists. The four people living there have been moved to a private home offered by a volunteer. Louise Troh, thought to be Mr Duncan's girlfriend, her 13-year-old son and two nephews have spent days inside the flat under the orders of health officials. The family was driven away from the home in a police car, after officials failed to find shelter for them. Hotels, flats and others had refused to offer them accommodation, before a private residence was offered. "No one wants this family,'' said Sana Syed, a Dallas city spokeswoman. More than 3,431 people have died in four West African countries in what has become the world's worst ever Ebola outbreak. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm John Kirby said the US could deploy as many as 4,000 troops to West Africa to help contain the outbreak. Although Mr Duncan is the first person to be diagnosed within the US, four Americans have contracted the virus in Liberia. Three aid workers have recovered after flying back to the US for treatment but a fourth, photojournalist Ashoka Mukpo, 33, is expected to be flown home over the weekend. Mr Duncan's diagnosis was confirmed on Tuesday, 10 days after he arrived in the US to visit relatives and friends. As well as the four who shared his flat, another six people who had contact with Mr Duncan have been identified by Texas health officials as higher risk. Mr Duncan, a courier driver, is believed to have taken a sick patient to a clinic in Liberia. Authorities there have accused him of lying on an Ebola questionnaire prior to leaving the country and say they plan to prosecute him upon his return. On Friday, Howard University hospital in Washington DC said a patient had come in with symptoms "associated with Ebola". He was being kept in isolation while he was tested for the disease. He had recently travelled from Nigeria. Ebola virus: Busting the myths The governor of Japan's Kagoshima prefecture gave his approval, marking the final hurdle for the restart, which is now likely to happen next year. Before the accident, caused by a massive quake and tsunami, about 30% of Japan's power was nuclear-generated. All 48 plants were shut down but PM Shinzo Abe has lobbied for a restart. Mr Abe's government has argued that the shutdown has hurt the economy, forcing Japan to import expensive fossil fuels to make up the power shortfall. Despite public anxiety, earlier this year Mr Abe approved an energy plan backing the use of nuclear power. Local authorities were given the final say on whether to restart their commercial plants. The plant's host town, Satsumasendai, had already voted in favour. "I have decided that it is unavoidable to restart the No. 1 and No. 2 Sendai nuclear reactors," Kagoshima Governor Yuichiro Ito told a news conference on Friday, reported Reuters news agency. "I have said that assuring safety is a prerequisite and that the government must ensure safety and publicly explain it thoroughly to residents." The reactors, operated by Kyushu Electric Power, will likely restart next year as further operational checks need to be passed. In a vote on Friday 38 out of 47 of the Kagoshima's prefectural assembly backed the restarting of the reactors. Protesters present in the assembly hall stood up before the vote with pink signs that said "NO restart", reported Reuters. Yelling from opponents drowned out the final vote. In September, Japanese regulators gave the Sendai reactors their final approval saying safety standards introduced after the Fukushima disaster had been met.

"All my friends told me that I have to lose lots of weight before my pre-wedding photoshoot," said Mint, 27. "But I thought, why do I have to change into someone that I am not? I'm just going to be myself and have fun with it." And the couple did just that. "We've been together for two years and I think I've gained around 10kg during that time because we keep eating together!" said 28-year-old Max. Reaction to the photographs have been huge, with the album receiving some 31,000 likes on Facebook. This is only one of many pre-wedding photoshoots by Mr Nitigultanon, who is known for his creative ideas. Pre-wedding photoshoots are especially common in Asia, with some even travelling overseas in order to capture the perfect moment. "We just expected our friends and family to like the photos," said Max. "Many other albums look cute or beautiful, but ours just shows us and our lifestyle as it is." The alliance said the measures would focus on seven key areas including military training, cyber defence, and reforming the security sector. The training will take place in Turkey and Jordan, Nato said in a statement. Iraq has seen a surge in violence in the past year, with the highest monthly death toll in January for six years. Jens Stoltenberg, Nato Secretary General, said the assistance program had been developed at Iraq's request and in close consultation with Iraqi authorities. The programme will also develop Iraq's security sector, bomb disposal capabilities, military medicine, and civil military planning, Mr Stoltenberg said. Nato will complement what is already being done by the US-led coalition against Islamic State, as well as actions by individual NATO allies, the European Union and the UN, he added. President Barack Obama in June ordered the deployment of 450 more US troops to Iraq's Sunni heartland to advise and assist Iraqi forces, adding to the existing 3,100 US troops in the country. The Nato agreement comes just a few days after Turkey sought Nato endorsement for its campaign against militants in Syria and Iraq. The alliance previously had a team training Iraqi security forces but it was withdrawn at the end of 2011 when no agreement could be reached on the legal status of Nato troops in the country. 26 November 2015 Last updated at 17:42 GMT The project aims to improve their confidence and self-esteem.

Earlier, Joshua Bonehill-Paine, 23, of Yeovil, was found guilty of inciting racial hatred at Southwark Crown Court. He posted links to offensive material on Twitter in June before a rally planned in Golders Green, north London, an area with a large Jewish population. The event was later moved and held in central London. Bonehill-Paine, who has described himself as "a rising star of the right-wing community" was arrested at his Yeovil home in Hudson Road on 26 June. He was jailed for three years and four months and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £120 and £1,200 in court costs. Det Ch Insp Andy Barnes of the Met Police, who led the investigation, said Bonehill-Paine "posted vile, anti-Semitic material online". He added: "There are challenges in attributing such material posted online to the originator but our digital forensic examiners worked tirelessly, carrying out extensive analysis of the material, phone data and online activity to prove that Bonehill-Paine posted the material from his laptop. "The Met fully understands the hurt that is felt in communities affected by this type of crime. "It is only by continually working with communities that we can ensure they are safe and free from fear." In 2014 Bonehill-Paine admitted posting hoax messages about a pub in Leicester banning military personnel in a bid to generate racial tension. He was given 180 hours of community service and a two-year supervision order for malicious communication. A union flag was also placed on the door at the Al-Quba Masjid mosque in Sherwood, Nottingham, in the early hours of Sunday. Nottinghamshire Police arrested two men, aged 27 and 30, on suspicion of a racially aggravated offence and they have since been bailed. Ramadan prayers were taking place when the men were seen outside. Live updates from the East Midlands Adeela Ahmed, from the mosque, said the former pub building was full of worshippers when two men were seen "hanging around" outside. She said: "A few people were quite suspicious, we've got CCTV so it alerted somebody and then we could see these two guys. "When they thought everyone had left they put some meat, which more than likely was pork, on to the door and then they got a union jack and they put it in the flower basket and were filming it. "As Muslims we don't eat pork, a lot of people know that, it's highly offensive and they probably realised that." Ms Ahmed said she was "shocked" and "angry" as Sherwood is a multicultural area and she never expected anything like that happen there. "A lot of people are fearful," she said. "Lots of women feel quite nervous sending their children to the mosque." Nottinghamshire Police said they were called at 01:45 BST on Sunday following reports of two men acting suspiciously at the mosque in Edwards Lane, Sherwood. The force said a hate crime investigation was opened and two men were arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence. Stephen O'Brien, the UN humanitarian co-ordinator, said the militant group's actions had forced thousands to flee and left unprecedented numbers in need. The UN estimates that more than nine million people in the region need humanitarian assistance. Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State. Mr O'Brien told the UN Security Council that Nigeria was bearing "the brunt of the crisis", with Nigerians accounting for seven of the nine million people in need. He said Boko Haram's "heinous, barbaric and unconscionable" violence had led to serious human rights violations in the country. "From January to June 2016, more than 50 children have been coerced to carry out suicide bombings across the four countries," he said. UN political chief Jeffrey Feltman said Boko Haram remained a threat to stability in the region, despite the group being pushed back from some areas. Both men warned the council that the fight against the group was suffering from a lack of funding. The militant group continues to target countries in the region, including Nigeria and Cameroon, with bomb and suicide attacks. The UN's children's agency Unicef warned last week that almost 250,000 children in parts of Nigeria's Borno state, formerly controlled by Boko Haram, were suffering from severe malnutrition.

Sinclair, 28, has scored 25 goals in his debut season as the Scottish champions chase a domestic treble. He beat team-mates Moussa Dembele and Stuart Armstrong, as well as Aberdeen's Jonny Hayes, to the award, which was voted for by his fellow professionals. Celtic's Kieran Tierney was voted young player of the year, while boss Brendan Rodgers was named manager of the year. The former Liverpool boss, who won the League Managers Association prize in 2014, has not lost a domestic game since arriving in Scotland. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here," Rodgers said. "I have obviously been fortunate to have really good experiences and I was fortunate enough to win a similar award down in the Premier League in England, and that was very satisfying. "And likewise here. It's a prestigious award and you only need to look at the people who have won it before me and the great history of Scottish coaches. I received it with great pride." Parkhead striker Dembele made it four awards on the night for the club when his third goal in the 5-2 win over St Johnstone in February was voted goal of the season. Hibernian's John McGinn claimed the Championship player of the year award after the Scotland midfielder helped the Easter Road side win promotion and reach the Scottish Cup semi-finals. Livingston's Liam Buchanan won the League One player of the year award, with Shane Sutherland of Elgin City taking the League Two award. The Scotland women's national team also won a special merit award after reaching this summer's European Championships. Pole Kwiatkowski, a former world champion, showed his strength in the last 200 metres to beat Slovakia's Sagan for the 16th win of his career. The pair, along with French rider Julian Alaphilippe, had broken away with six kilometres remaining. Ben Swift, who finished on the podium twice in the past three years, was the best-placed Briton in 17th. Kwiatkowski's victory was a first in the race for Team Sky and only their second in a 'Monument', the name given to cycling's big five annual one-day races. It comes amid an ongoing UK Anti-Doping investigation into allegations of wrongdoing by Team Sky, who deny the claims. The deal, which values the firm at A$370.7m (£201m; $289m), still needs approval from Australian and Chinese regulatory bodies. A takeover had previously been blocked by Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB). It was concerned that part of the property was inside a military weapons testing range in South Australia. Kidman has since taken the Anna Creek farm out of the sale. Dakang Australia is to acquire 80% of the farm, while local partner Australian Rural Capital (ARC) will take the remaining 20%. The sale comprises of areas covering 77,300sq/km - equal to 1% of Australia or an area bigger than Ireland. Kidman chairman John Crosby said that the deal complied "with all the requests that have been made by the FIRB and we believe the sale will secure the long-term future of the Kidman enterprise." He also recommended shareholders to accept the consortium's offer. Gary Romano of Dakang Australia and James Jackson of ARC said they "intend to continue investing where it is required to improve productivity and performance, apply our insights into the rapidly growing Chinese market, and bring proven know-how in the development of integrated supply chains and marketing models." 101,411 sq/km of overall territory 77,300 sq/km to be sold 1% of Australia to change hands 15,000 tonnes of beef carcass shipped globally per year Dakang Australia's Chinese parent company is Hunan Dakang Pasture Farming, a private Chinese company which also has major stakes in New Zealand's dairy industry.

Eliza Szonert, embroiled in a custody dispute with businessman Ashley Crick, took her son with the aid of a child recovery agency on 10 December. Police detained her last week after she refused to reveal the child's location. She can now leave with her son and without charge after adhering to police requests to take him to a doctor. "She can leave Malaysia for home with her son. We have investigated the case and the deputy public prosecutor has decided that there will be no prosecution against her," Kuala Lumpur police chief Tajuddin Mohamad Isa said. The case sparked a controversy after video of her taking the child in a Kuala Lumpur restaurant was circulated. Mr Crick, who works for a Malaysia-based video streaming service, is reportedly back in Australia to seek custody of the child through the Australian court system. "Thank you everyone for your love, support and assistance during this exhausting ordeal. More than anything I'm just looking forward to getting home and spending time with my son again," Ms Szonert said in a Facebook post. Child Recovery Australia, the controversial group that helped Ms Szonert, said on its Facebook page that her return signalled "another successful recovery". Two men from Child Recovery Australia accompanied Ms Szonert to the restaurant where the child was taken and spoke to Mr Crick. Ms Szonert said that Mr Crick had taken away her and her son's passports after a disagreement. The actress played troublemaker Danni Stark in Neighbours, appearing in the soap between 1993 and 1996, and she also had a role in the 2000 Australian movie The Dish. Despite being Vale's joint-top scorer with six goals, Ikpeazu, 20, last found the net on 3 October and made the last of his 28 appearances on Boxing Day. "Sometimes with Uche, it's a little bit unpredictable," said Page. "We thank him for his goals but we feel we can improve on that now." Ikpeazu's last start for Vale was in their 2-0 defeat at Burton - a match in which he was sent off for two bookable offences - and Page admits the forward was unlucky to find his route back into the side blocked by in-form fellow striker AJ Leitch-Smith. Media playback is not supported on this device "Uche started really well, dipped away a little bit, got sent off, and AJ came in and that's the nature of the game - you've got to be patient," Page told BBC Radio Stoke. "It's frustrating for him because he's maybe got pressure from Watford to be playing, from himself and his agent as he's out of contract at the end of the season and needs to put himself in the shop window - but I've got to be true to the lads who are playing well." Page says he hopes Ikpeazu can take some lessons out of his six-month stay with Vale. "I think his better games were at home with 4,500 cheering his name but away from home, not so much of an impact and I've had a chat with him about that. "That's something for his development and for him to learn from." The driver's view of the road was almost completely obscured, police said. An ambulance driver spotted the vehicle on the A1 at Barnack, Cambridgeshire, at about 21:45 GMT on Tuesday. It was found later in Peterborough. The man was reported for "a number of driving offences" police later said. "Can't believe this driver was driving on the A1, Peterborough... Dangerous," traffic police tweeted. Read more on this and other stories from Cambridgeshire He told officers from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire road policing unit the car was being driven "erratically" and had hit the central reservation "a few times". They located the car in Boongate, in the centre of Peterborough. The driver of the Mitsubishi L200 Animal, a man in his 30s, was reported for offences including "dangerous driving by way of the condition of the vehicle (windscreen)", a police spokeswoman said.

The UK will have to decide if it leaves the customs union when it leaves the EU. That would mean goods moving between the UK and the EU would be subject to customs procedures and tariffs. The Nevin Economic Research Institute (Neri) said leaving the customs union posed a "unique threat" to Irish cross-border trade. It said it is likely to have a more immediate impact on the Northern Ireland economy than leaving the EU single market. What is a customs union and why does it matter? A customs union is a form of trade agreement between two or more countries. It means they decide not to impose tariffs (taxes on imports) on each other's goods and agree to impose common external tariffs on goods from countries outside their customs union. Setting common external tariffs is what distinguishes a customs union from a free trade area. The key argument for leaving the customs union is that it will allow the UK to negotiate its own trade agreements. Read more here. However, Neri said that needs to be weighed against the potential damage to existing trading arrangements. Neri said the executive could even consider trying to remain within the customs union even if the rest of the UK leaves. That would mean customs checks on goods moving between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. Neri said such checks at sea ports or airports are "less cumbersome or trade inhibiting" than those on land borders. However, it acknowledged that such a proposal would have "significant political problems". The executive's Brexit priorities were set out in a letter that Northern Ireland's first and deputy first ministers sent to the prime minister in August. It said that Northern Ireland needs to "retain as far as possible" the ease with which it currently trades with EU member states. Solicitor General Lesley Thomson will lead Crown evidence at the fatal accident inquiry, which is due to start on 22 July at Glasgow Sheriff Court. Six people died and 10 others were injured when a council bin lorry crashed into pedestrians in Glasgow city centre on 22 December. The Crown Office has already said that no-one will face criminal charges. A spokesman for the Crown Office said: "The Crown Office can confirm that the Solicitor General, Lesley Thomson QC, will be conducting the fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the road traffic incident which resulted in the deaths of six people in Glasgow City Centre on 22 December 2014." The FAI will be held before Sheriff Principal Craig Scott QC with a preliminary hearing scheduled to take place on 13 April. The six people who died in the crash were teacher Stephenie Tait, 29, from Glasgow; student Erin McQuade, 18, and her grandparents Lorraine, 69, and Jack Sweeney, 68, from Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire; tax worker Jacqueline Morton, 51, from Glasgow; and 52-year-old Gillian Ewing, from Edinburgh. The bin lorry went out of control on Queen Street before crashing into the Millennium Hotel at George Square, close to the city's Queen Street rail station. Many of those who were struck had been out Christmas shopping. Police investigating the crash submitted their initial report to prosecutors at the end of January. In February, Harry Clarke, the driver of the Glasgow City Council bin lorry, told the Daily Record newspaper that he had fallen unconscious at the wheel and could not remember anything about the crash. Mr Clarke, 58, also said that he understood that bereaved families and those who were injured wanted answers about what exactly had happened.

Charlotte Bevan, who had schizophrenia, walked out of St Michael's Hospital in Bristol last December with her newborn daughter Zaani Tiana Bevan-Malbrouck. Their bodies were found in undergrowth in the Avon Gorge days later. Dr Laurence Mynors-Wallis said an "important contributory factor" was the "lack of multi-disciplinary care plan". Avon Coroners Court heard the 30-year-old mother had stopped taking an anti-psychotic drug over concerns about breastfeeding. Dr Mynors-Wallis, the former associate dean of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, told the inquest there were several warning signs in the run up to the tragedy. He said Ms Bevan could have been sent to a different unit or been assigned a one-to-one specialist mental health nurse. "There wasn't a waterproof care plan in place," he stated. "A care plan is core to delivering the interventions that are needed for people with mental illnesses, especially those who are going through childbirth - which is a stressful experience. "It is important as well because she would be coming into contact with a series of professionals who aren't experts in mental health." The sixth day of the inquest was told Ms Bevan had a long history of mental problems, had been sectioned on four occasions and had self-harmed. Dr Mynors-Wallis said after coming under the care of Bristol North Recovery Team there was clear evidence Ms Bevan was becoming unwell. He also questioned whether St Michaels had been the ideal place for her to give birth. He said nurses on the ward had not been trained to deal with "complex" patients like Ms Bevan who may have thought her behaviour was that of an exhausted mother. The inquest continues.

Lawyers for the 36-year-old said he was acting in self defence after he was assaulted by Joshua Sutter at their home in LA. Prosecutors have decided not to file charges, instead asking detectives to carry on investigating. Speaking three days after his arrest, the actor said he was "very sorry". He said: "I am very happy to be out of jail and my heart goes out to the Sutter family." Medina said he and a female friend locked themselves in his bedroom after a row with Sutter. He claimed his flatmate kicked the door open, at which point he grabbed the sword to protect himself. His lawyer, Allen Bell said: "There simply aren't facts here for a crime. It is a self defence case. "You have an individual here who was the victim of a beating in the kitchen area before he went to the bedroom and locked the door to secure himself from any continuing violence. "He kicked the door in to continue the aggression." Medina was arrested after calling emergency services. Joshua Sutter, who was also 36, was pronounced dead in hospital. Ricardo Medina played the Red Ranger on Power Rangers Wild Force in 2002 and later played Deker on Power Rangers Samurai.

Adele Uden, 26, from Mansfield, has suffered from heavy bleeding since her son's birth by emergency Caesarean seven years ago. The marks appeared on her face about 12 months ago but doctors remain baffled. Her mother Karen said her daughter's health had worsened and she has had to have several blood transfusions. Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire Ms Uden said she began suffering pains not long after she had the emergency Caesarean. She has been diagnosed with endometriosis, polycystic ovaries and pelvic inflammatory disease but none of these explain the severity of her bleeding or the purple patches on her face. "As far as we're aware, I'm the only one like this that we have found... I need help, I need to be able to find reasons as to why I'm like this," she said. Despite Ms Uden being seen by specialists and haematologists, the bleeding and facial marks remain a mystery. The marks on her face do not hurt but she hates leaving the house because of the "way people look at her". Ms Uden's mother Karen said her daughter - who takes about 250 tablets a week - is "constantly bleeding". She was rushed to hospital last week, leaving a trail of blood out of her house and dipping "in and out of consciousness". "It's very serious... if she doesn't get to hospital on time she could bleed out," Mrs Uden said. "We need some answers because at the moment we're shooting in the dark. "We've nearly lost her. [Adele] has said her goodbyes a number of times." A fight broke out after the County Antrim Junior Shield final between Belfast teams Suffolk FC and Woodvale FC.

It means firms including those employing care workers, gas fitters and sales reps may be in breach of EU working time regulations. BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman said it could have a "huge effect". "Employers may have to organise work schedules to ensure workers' first and last appointments are close to their homes," he added. Chris Tutton, from the solicitors Irwin Mitchell, told the BBC: "Thousands of employers may now potentially be in breach of working time regulation rules in the UK." The court said its judgement was about protecting the "health and safety" of workers as set out in the European Union's working time directive. The directive is designed to protect workers from exploitation by employers, and it lays down regulations on matters such as how long employees work, how many breaks they have, and how much holiday they are entitled to. One of its main goals is to ensure that no employee in the EU is obliged to work more than an average of 48 hours a week. The ruling came about because of an ongoing legal case in Spain involving a company called Tyco, which installs security systems. The company shut its regional offices down in 2011, resulting in employees travelling varying distances before arriving at their first appointment. The court ruling said: "The fact that the workers begin and finish the journeys at their homes stems directly from the decision of their employer to abolish the regional offices and not from the desire of the workers themselves. "Requiring them to bear the burden of their employer's choice would be contrary to the objective of protecting the safety and health of workers pursued by the directive, which includes the necessity of guaranteeing workers a minimum rest period." Meanwhile, employment law barrister Caspar Glyn agreed the court's decision could affect "millions of workers". However, Mr Glyn also said there had been much speculation that this ruling could allow workers on the national minimum wage to claim more money for the time they spend getting to work. But he said this would not be the case. "The national minimum wage is a UK right, it is not a European right. There's no European right to a national minimum wage. "The minimum wage regulations in the UK do not count as work travel from home or to any workplace," he said. Members were balloted over job security at the university's medical school. UCU Scotland said three-quarters of those who took part in a ballot voted for strike action. A petition will also be handed in on Tuesday. The university expressed disappointment at the announcement. UCU Scotland said all four members of staff now at the centre of the dispute were of Asian ethnic origin, which the union said raised the question of whether the process had been discriminatory. A University of Aberdeen spokesman said: "We are disappointed that the UCU has decided to take strike action, and that they have chosen a date for the strikes which occurs during the student exam period. "We will not allow our students' exams to be disrupted and have made arrangements to make sure this does not occur. "Of the staff that were placed at risk of redundancy as a result of restructuring in the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition, the remaining four have been offered alternative employment on their current salary and grade. As a result, we no longer believe there will be a need for any compulsory redundancies. "Regarding the concerns of UCU over the process that was followed, it is important to point out that the University of Aberdeen is an equal opportunities employer and takes this responsibility very seriously."

The December 2015 incident is thought to be the first known successful hack aimed at utilities. The report, written by the Department of Homeland Security, is based on interviews with staff at Ukrainian organisations that dealt with the aftermath of the attack. The DHS report did not name the suspected perpetrators. It said the attack had several stages and initially involved hackers installing malware on computer systems at power generation firms in Ukraine. This gave the attackers remote access to these computers and allowed them to flip circuit breakers turning off power to 80,000 customers of western Ukraine's Prykarpattyaoblenergo utility. While the power was cut, the attackers also bombarded customer service phone lines with fake calls to stop customers reporting the cut. The report was written by the cyber-emergency response team in the Industrial Control Systems arm of the DHS. Details of the attack were based entirely on interviews as the cyber-response team has not been able to independently review technical evidence, it said. Although the DHS did not name any group or nation as being responsible for causing the power cuts, others have amassed information that points to a well-known Russian hacker group as the perpetrators. Last year, US security firm iSight Partners linked it to a group known as "Sandworm". It said the attack relied on malware known as BlackEnergy 3 - a strain of viruses that has become known as the "calling card" of the group. The malware is believed to have been delivered via email using a technique known as "spear phishing". This involves sending key employees carefully crafted messages that use information culled from social media to make them more convincing. The 27-year-old joined Saints from Hull FC in 2013 after he came through the ranks with Salford Red Devils. He has scored 200 points in his 107 outings at Langtree Park and won the Grand Final in 2014. "We'd like to thank Jordan for his commitment and effort in the red vee," said chief executive Mike Rush. "His professionalism is second to none and we're sure he will want to finish his Saints career on a high this year." Turner will link up with England duo Elliott Whitehead and Josh Hodgson at Canberra, in addition to former Saints teammate Sia Soliola. Mary Creagh condemned the attack and said staff were "distressed" by the discovery on Monday morning. A Labour Party spokesperson said it happened at the Cheapside office just before midnight on Friday and was caught on CCTV. The office, shared by the regional Labour Party, was empty at the time.

The bank now expects growth in developing East Asia and the Pacific to be 6.5% this year and 6.4% in 2016, down from an earlier forecast of 6.7%. The latest estimate is even lower than growth of 6.8% last year. Major development banks have recently revised lower their growth forecasts. Last month, the Asian Development Bank said slowing growth in China would drag down the developing region's growth to 5.8% this year. The International Monetary Fund also flagged in September that slowing growth in the world's second largest economy posed a threat to the global economy. "Developing East Asia's growth is expected to slow because of China's economic rebalancing and the pace of the expected normalization of US policy interest rates," said the World Bank's regional chief economist Sudhir Shetty in a statement on Monday. "If China's growth were to slow further, the effects would be felt in the rest of the region, especially in countries linked to China through trade, investment and tourism." East Asia accounts for almost two-fifths of the world's economic growth, according to the World Bank. The US-based lender now expects China's economy to grow 6.9% this year and 6.7% in 2016, down from an earlier forecast of 7.1% and 7% respectively. The Asian giant is headed for its slowest growth in a quarter of a century this year and calls are growing that it may undershoot the government's official target of 7%. Interest rates in the US, meanwhile, are expected to rise for the first time in nearly a decade in the coming months, which could result in a flood of capital leaving emerging markets as Asian currencies are hit. "While this increase has been anticipated and is likely to be orderly, there is still a risk that markets could react sharply to such tightening, causing currencies to depreciate, bond spreads to rise, capital inflows to fall, and liquidity to tighten," the bank said. Black, who died in 2015, had a UK top 10 hit in 1964 with It's for You, written by McCartney and John Lennon. McCartney recorded his own version earlier that year, which was delivered to Black while she was performing at the London Palladium. It was believed to have been lost or destroyed until her nephew found it. The disc fetched £18,000 at the Beatles Memorabilia Auction at Unity Theatre in Liverpool but with commission the unknown buyer will pay £21,060. Simon White said he believed his paternal aunt - whose birth name was Priscilla White - gave the disc to his late father in the mid-60s. "My father was an avid record collector who took great care of his record collection, and he personally created the cardboard sleeve in which the acetate demo has been stored in his collection for more than 50 years." Mr White assumed the copy was of his aunt's version and took it with other items to be valued at The Beatles Shop in Mathew Street, Liverpool. Stephen Bailey, who has managed the store for 31 years, said they played what they thought were 21 demo discs by Black. "We got to the last one and, as soon as I heard it, I thought: 'Oh God, that's not Cilla Black, it's Paul McCartney'." "I was shaking with excitement and speechless." He added: "Apart from a few crackles, which you get with acetates, the quality is fine. It's a wonderful recording. "I can't think of finding anything better unless I discover there is a sixth Beatle." Sir Paul was allowed to make a copy of his recording to add to his personal archive, Mr White said. Originally from Brecon, the bass guitarist made his debut with the legendary rock band in the early 1970s. After releasing a number of solo records, he reformed the group famous for 'Smoke on the Water' in 1983. The musician received his award in recognition of his contribution to music and the creative industries. Receiving his fellowship, he said: "My version of university was gaining experience performing with Episode Six, the band I formed during my teens." He added: "It is fantastic to see so many graduates realising their potential and gaining degrees from the university today. "I wish them every success in their future careers."

Magistrates ruled that Jon Platt had no case to answer as, overall, his daughter had attended school regularly. Campaigners say the case could redefine the way the law is applied in England. People have taken to social media to comment on the result of the case. Joe Niinemae suggested parents of children with poor school attendance should be the ones penalised in future. Term-time holiday: What are the rules? BBC News website readers have also been commenting on the verdict. Marianna Ali from London was fined last month for removing her two daughters from primary school. "I am so happy with this result," she said. "I have just paid a £240 fine for taking my two daughters abroad for my brother's wedding. "They missed five days of term time at school. Before that their attendance was excellent. "We were trying to fight it at the time and we had a meeting with the chair of governors but we were unsuccessful. "I did all I could to resolve the situation but I was penalised. What should have been a happy and exciting time became stressful and emotional. "The school only seemed bothered about the harm it might do to their outstanding classification. "This result is amazing and now I won't think twice about removing my children for a few days if necessary." But not everyone welcomed the verdict. Some people think tour operators should not raise their prices during school holidays. Sales across all main retail sectors declined, with the heaviest falls coming at non-food stores, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. It was the biggest monthly fall for more than four and a half years. The Black Friday discounts in late November made it "even harder... to keep shoppers spending during December", analysts at Lloyds said. Experts had predicted a much smaller 0.1% monthly fall. Retailers had a "disastrous December... much worse than expected," said Alan Clarke of Scotiabank. Inflation figures earlier this week showed prices rose more than expected in December, "and now we also know that sales volumes fell", Mr Clarke said. "This is likely to be the theme for the rest of the year - higher prices will reduce disposable income and hurt consumer spending growth," he added. Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said "the squeeze on households' real incomes is gradually tightening, implying a tough 2017 for retailers". Clothing, footwear and household goods all saw "particularly sizeable drops" last month, he added. However, when compared with a year ago, retail sales were up 4.3% in December. "There were some notably strong figures from smaller retailers, in particular butchers, who reported a significant boost in sales in the run up to Christmas," said Kate Davies, ONS senior statistician. Shoppers also bought more online, spending about £1bn a week, which was 21.3% higher than in December 2015. Despite the disappointing December figures, "retailers shouldn't assume that they will lead to a bad January as well", said Keith Richardson, managing director of retail at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking. "Consumer spending held up - against expectations - after the EU referendum and it may do so again."

The bank claims he collected commissions, and undervalued its stake in the global motor racing business, which it sold in 2005. Mr Ecclestone's lawyer in Munich declined to comment. This week a German court halted a bribery trial against Mr Ecclestone, relating to the sale of F1 rights, in exchange for a payment of £60m. The 83-year-old billionaire had been accused of funnelling some £26m to jailed BayernLB banker Gerhard Gribkowsky to ensure that a company he favoured could buy a stake in F1. Mr Ecclestone had denied wrongdoing, and his payment was accepted by the district court in Munich. He walked free and continues running the sport. It also meant Mr Ecclestone was found neither guilty nor innocent. Gribkowsky was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison in 2012 for accepting bribes. Mr Ecclestone's lawyers last week had offered to pay public-sector bank BayernLB 25m euros, but also said that damage to the company was not evident. The offer expired on Friday with the bank rejecting it, without giving reasons.

The $22bn (£14bn) contract is Japan's first successful bid for an overseas nuclear project since a tsunami wrecked the Fukushima power station. The deal was signed by visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said it would transform relations with Japan into a "strategic partnership". "What happened at Fukushima upset all of us. But these things can happen. Life goes on. Successful steps are being taken now with the use of improved technology," the Turkish prime minister added. The deal comes as part of renewed efforts to promote Japanese nuclear technologies abroad, despite concerns over safety. One of the Japanese firms included in the consortium is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, one of the companies behind the Fukushima plant damaged in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Turkey is also prone to earthquakes, and the government cited Japan's expertise in earthquake protection as one of the factors in signing the deal. The other firms are Itochu Corporation and French utility group GDF Suez. Japan is looking to boost exports of its technological expertise as it attempts to increase economic growth and escape two decades of near stagnation. Fast-growing Turkey, meanwhile, is planning to invest in domestic energy generation to reduce its dependence on imports as the economy expands. The new nuclear plant will be Turkey's second. It is currently dependent on imported oil and gas to meet 97% of its energy needs. The Doonhamers hosted Status Quo, Big Country and Reef in the first ever live concert at the Dumfries ground. Organisers said the event had been a success with a crowd of thousands turning out. Chairman Billy Hewitson said the event had shown it had the "perfect outdoor facility" for concerts in the town. Commercial manager Victoria Thomson added: "It's been months of hard work, but it was worth the effort. "It proved to be a fantastic night and lived up to be more than we expected it to be. "For our first venture into the music business, we are delighted with the way it went." Billed as a 24-hour stint in the lift, in reality the Transformers star is actually allowed out to answer the call of nature. He also emerged to speak at the Oxford Union during the evening. The Hollywood star began his lift marathon at 09:00 GMT along with friends and art collaborators Nastja Rönkkö and Luke Turner. After the debate at the Oxford Union, the trio were due to continue occupying the lift in Gloucester Green until 09:00 on Saturday. The event, called #ELEVATE, is being streamed on YouTube. Speaking to students in the lift, LaBeouf said he was invited by the president of the union after the actor set up his own call centre in Liverpool, which members of the public could phone to ask him questions. The 29-year-old star said: "Stuart the president said: 'Do you want to stand in the same spot as Malcolm X?' "Who... am I to argue with that?" Speaking about the project to fans, he said: "[It's about] getting to know people, connecting to people. "Men who get lost, like explorers, end goal is they hope they find a new world, a new land. "We're hoping that we find a more sincere effect." LaBeouf has been involved in a number of live art installations, most notably in 2014 when he wore a bag over his head with the message "I am not famous any more" written on it. During the piece, called #IAMSORRY, LaBeouf sat in a room in a Los Angeles art gallery where members of the public were allowed to interact with him. It was later reported he claimed a woman raped him during the performance. After the claims, collaborators Rönkkö and Turner said they intervened to stop the woman. The Hollywood actor was arrested in October last year for public intoxication and jay-walking in Austin, Texas. He began his career as a child actor on the Disney Channel comedy Even Stevens in 1999, and gained worldwide fame with a recurring role in the Transformers franchise. LaBeouf also co-starred with Harrison Ford in the 2008 film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and was involved in Lars Von Trier's controversial two-part drama Nymphomaniac in 2013 and 2014.

The union has been in dispute since last April over the introduction of driver-only operated trains. On Saturday, the day of the Grand National, strike action by the RMT hit three rail companies. Southern, which is also in dispute with the Aslef union, confirmed the talks would be held on 24 and 25 April. A spokesman for the rail operator said: "We're pleased to be meeting the RMT later this month in a bid to try and find a route forward to end their dispute." The RMT has taken 31 days of strike action over the changes being brought in, which mean conductors become on-board supervisors, and responsibility for opening and closing doors is passed to train drivers. General secretary Mick Cash said: "The union welcomes the opportunity to engage with Southern rail in further talks. We would prefer the process to get under way sooner if that was possible. "We expect there to be no efforts to undermine these important talks from other parties and that they will be allowed to take place free from external interference." Aslef members rejected initial proposals to resolve the row in February, and this month voted against another proposed deal. Guy Hedger, 61, died in the early hours of 30 April after intruders reportedly broke into his home in Ashley, near Ringwood, and opened fire with a shotgun. Helen Cooper, 40, from Poole, has been charged with assisting an offender. She was remanded in custody by Poole magistrates earlier. She is due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on 2 August. Earlier this week the charity Crimestoppers put up a £10,000 reward for information that leads to the recovery of the firearm used and jewellery stolen during the raid. Kevin Downton, 40, of Winterborne Stickland near Blandford, Jason Baccus, 41, and Scott Keeping, 44, both of Verney Close, Bournemouth, have been charged with murder and are due at Winchester Crown Court at a later date to enter pleas. A 45-year-old-man from Poole and a 39-year-old Bournemouth man were arrested in May on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary and released while inquiries continued. The annual inflation rate hit 1.1% last month, according to official statistics agency Eurostat, a sharp jump from November's rate of 0.6%. The rate is the highest since September 2013, when inflation was also 1.1%. The higher-than-expected increase brings inflation closer to the European Central Bank's target of just below 2%. ECB chief Mario Draghi has said he expects inflation to reach the target by 2018 or 2019. Last month's increase was driven mainly by a jump in energy prices, which rose by 2.5% year-on-year in December, their first increase in over a year. Energy prices were boosted by oil cartel Opec's decision to cut output. Food, alcohol and tobacco prices rose 1.2% year-on-year, while services were also 1.2% more expensive than a year ago. The rise will help to allay fears that the eurozone could slip into deflation, weakening economic growth. However, while the headline rate of inflation increased sharply in December, the core rate - which excludes prices of items such as energy and food which are driven by world markets - increased only slightly from 0.8% to 0.9%. The small rise could mean the jump in inflation is short-lived, analysts suggested. However, a separate survey from IHS Markit indicated that the eurozone economy expanded at its fastest rate for more than five-and-a-half years in December. The survey also said that output charges - what companies price their goods at - rose for the second month running and at the steepest pace since July 2011. "The survey data are signalling a 0.4% expansion of GDP in the fourth quarter," said IHS Markit chief economist Chris Williamson. "The concern is that domestic demand is likely to remain subdued over the course of 2017 as political uncertainty dominates, resulting in another year of disappointing growth across the region as a whole."

Most housing associations and councils have issued statements to say their accommodation complies with regulations and is safe. Some fire brigades have described their high-rise training facilities. The authorities have also expressed sorrow over the deaths at Grenfell Tower in north Kensington. Many, including Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, pointed out that serious fires are extremely rare. The law requires the owners or managers of high-rise buildings to make sure appropriate fire precautions are in place to safeguard people living or working there. This may include the fitting of sprinklers, rising mains, ventilation and fire alarm systems. Kent Fire and Rescue Service and London Fire Brigade were two of those which also published safety advice for people living in tower blocks. A number of local authority landlords highlighted recent improvements and extra safety measures. Sandwell Council said all of its blocks have automatic smoke ventilation systems, bin room sprinkler systems, bin chute cut-off slides and dry risers - pipes used by the fire service to distribute water to multiple levels of a building. Oxford City Council said it was carrying out renovations that "have delivered substantial improvements" to fire safety. Fortis Living, which looks after Worcestershire's buildings, said upgrade work has been done, which includes firebreaks on every floor. Magenta Living, which does the same in Birkenhead, Merseyside, said its high-rise blocks "undergo an annual, independently carried out, fire safety risk assessment". Nottingham's housing association said it was "confident the systems are robust". Brighton and Hove City Council said it will review fire safety in council-owned housing stock, and there are already plans for two further sprinkler systems to be installed. Salix Homes in Salford said all its high-rise blocks comply with regulations, but "following the tragic incident in London, we will now be working with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and Greater Manchester Housing Providers to look at any lessons that can be learnt" and Hull City Council said similar. Both Cheshire and West Midlands Fire and Rescue Services emphasised their training programmes. The West Midlands service has a special facility in Oldbury where floors can be configured in a range of different ways, there are internal and external staircases and a lift shaft. Instructors use it to set fires in condition where they can vary ventilation, wind speed and the internal movement of smoke and fire gases. Gillian Miller and Mark Walkingshaw were stunned when son Tom was born on 31 March at Borders General Hospital in Melrose. That was exactly the same delivery date as his brother Louie, 11, and one-year-old sister Aila. Now the couple are planning to celebrate next year's triple birthday, and their wedding, on a family honeymoon in the Caribbean. Ms Miller, 34, a hairdresser from Longformacus in Berwickshire, said: "When Aila was about to be born Louie really didn't want to share his birthday. But that all changed when he saw her. "And when he found out I was pregnant with Tom he told me that he really wanted Tom to have the same birthday as them." Mr Walkingshaw, 35, who is on paternity leave from his offshore job said: "We have no idea why it happened like this but what's even more amazing is that both were due on the same date, 24 March, and were both later dates on 31 March." A spokesperson for William Hill bookmakers said the odds of three siblings sharing the same birthday was in the region of 50,000-1 against.

Durban was stripped of hosting the Games in March after failing to meet the criteria set by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF). Liverpool has declared its interest in staging the Games, as part of a bid to host the 2026 event. Birmingham, London and Manchester have also expressed an interest in hosting. "Hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2022 could give us an opportunity to step up and show the very best of global Britain as an outward-looking nation that is confident on the world stage," said Culture Secretary Karen Bradley. "It's only right that we look into the potential for hosting one of the world's biggest sporting events on home soil." The government will consider multi-city proposals and decide whether to submit a formal bid to the CGF later this year. CGF chief David Grevemberg said officials were looking to make a decision quickly and would consider a joint bid. "The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games showed the appetite and enthusiasm that the British people have for supporting major sporting events," said Sports Minister Tracey Crouch. "We will weigh up whether the UK should step in to host, looking at the opportunities to promote global Britain and deliver a lasting legacy at good value for taxpayers." Britain hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, while the 2002 event was staged in Manchester. Steve Stannard, 37, died after being stabbed at his flat at Bowers Avenue in Norwich on 5 November 2016. Norwich Crown Court heard a knife found nearby had his blood on it. Hassiem Baqir, 19, of Howberry Road, Thornton Heath, south London, denies murder. Andrew Shaw, prosecuting, said a sample of DNA taken from the handle of the knife matched Mr Baqir. Mr Shaw said Mr Stannard was a drug user and low level drug dealer who had allowed his home to be used as a base by Mr Baqir to sell drugs in Norwich. He told the court another user went to the property and saw Mr Baqir with the knife. When she asked why he had it, he replied: "It's not a game, it's just in case." The court heard Mr Stannard was stabbed twice in the back and three times in the front at his home. The wounds perforated his lung and his heart. Mr Stannard's dog, a border collie called Trixy, was also stabbed - probably defending her master, Mr Shaw said. Mr Baqir has admitted supplying heroin and cocaine He is on trial with two other men, Veron Antonio, 24, of Green Lane, Morden, south London, who has denied supplying heroin and cocaine and assisting an offender by failing to comply with an order to reveal his phone PIN code to police.

Breck Bednar was killed after being lured to the Essex home of Lewis Daynes, 20, who is now serving life. Essex Police investigated internet posts which Breck's mother Lorin LaFave claimed were by Daynes. The Crown Prosecution Service it gave "early investigative advice" and police decided to take no further action. More on this story and others from Essex The Ministry of Justice previously said it had found no evidence of electronic communication. Breck, from Caterham in Surrey, was killed in 2014 after travelling to Daynes's home in Grays. The trial heard there was sexual activity between the pair and Daynes then slashed his victim's throat. Ms LaFave, who is from the United States, previously told how she had received two online letters purporting to be from Daynes; one sent in November and the other in January before a BBC Three television programme called Murder Games: The Life and Death of Breck Bednar. In the second post, Daynes allegedly denied he was a "sinister internet paedophile" or a groomer and called the TV trailer "highly dramatic". He also said police photographs of his home showed a "very clean tidy flat" in a "very nice residential street" and was the opposite of what has been described. "It would take too much time to address all the lies and spin," he wrote. In his first letter, Daynes alegedly said he was responsible for Breck's death, but accused the media and others of exploiting Breck's death to "suit their own agendas". Daynes was sentenced to life with a minimum jail term of 25 years at Chelmsford Crown Court last year. Advocaat, who takes over from Sinisa Mihajlovic, has signed a two-year contact, which could be extended if Serbia reach the tournament in France. The former Netherlands and South Korea coach, 66, takes over a team that failed to reach the 2014 World Cup. "We have only one target, and that is to qualify," Advocaat said. "That is the only option we have." Mihajlovic left his post as Serbia boss in November 2013 to take over at Sampdoria, leaving Ljubinko Drulovic in caretaker charge. Advocaat guided Netherlands to the 1994 World Cup and Euro 2004, South Korea to the 2006 World Cup, Russia to Euro 2012 and has also coached the United Arab Emirates and Belgium. He was in the running to become South Africa boss earlier this month. On the task ahead at Serbia, Advocaat said: "I have seen around 10 games, especially the last games, but I saw already what I need to know about the team. "They have very talented players, but are still not qualifying for the tournament and that is what we have to try to change."

Armed officers were sent to the supermarket in Blackheath, West Midlands, on Saturday and several roads were closed.

"No members of the public were hurt during the incident and road closures have now been lifted in the area," police added. Six smaller providers fear that only gas and electricity deals from the "Big Six" will show up in searches under proposed new Competition and Markets Authority rules. They fear that such a move would discourage competition. The CMA proposals follow the watchdog's energy market review earlier this year. Consumers can provide basic details to price comparison websites, which then provide what they believe to be the best options. Sometimes these websites allow consumers to switch immediately, but it was often not clear that they only showed options for firms that have paid the site a commission or fee. Following the CMA's investigation into the energy market, the watchdog published its initial recommendations for ways to encourage consumers to switch energy suppliers more often. It concluded that price comparison websites such as Uswitch, Energyhelpline or Go Compare should no longer have to show all available energy offers. However, it did find that such sites should make it clear whether they received a commission from the energy firms whose offers were being recommended. The CMA believed the ability to switch energy suppliers online without delay might lead to a rise in instant switching, helping to drive down prices. Smaller independent suppliers have rejected this analysis, which is out for consultation. "We are deeply worried about the lack of transparency in the proposed system," according to a letter to the Energy Secretary, Amber Rudd, signed by the chief executives of GB Energy Supply, COOP Energy, Go Effortless Energy, Bulb, So Energy & Zog Energy. "Millions of people go to price comparison websites believing them to be transparent shop windows for the cheapest prices rather than 'brokers' in an increasingly skewed market." The independent suppliers said that removing the obligation to show all tariffs would mean price comparison sites would end up only showing offers from the Big Six suppliers who had paid a fee. The six smaller suppliers called on the Government to think again about the "serious ramifications". However, the UK's third-largest price comparison website, uSwitch, disagreed. "Price comparison websites offer a cost-effective way for energy suppliers to advertise their products and acquire customers," a spokesperson said. The site claimed to have saved consumers £112m on their energy bills in 2014. "The CMA's package of proposals will incentivise sites to compete for exclusive deals with suppliers, boost competition and lower energy prices for consumers." The CMA is set to publish its final recommendations on remedies for the energy sector before the end of June. The Government said that before it came to power in 2010, there were just 13 energy suppliers, with independents accounting for only 1% of the market. The Department for Energy said there were now more than 40 providers, with smaller firms making up 15% of the dual fuel market. A spokesperson said the government wanted a "competitive and effective energy market" that worked for consumers: "We are taking action to ensure bill payers get a fair deal, by making switching quicker and easier, ensuring the swift roll-out of smart meters and increasing competition in the energy market." The collision, believed to involve two lorries and a car, happened at the Marykirk turnoff. The car was said to be on fire. There were no details of any injuries.

The Scottish government figures show there are nearly as many foreign-owned manufacturers as there are Scottish-owned, by 44% to 45%. The Scottish Annual Business Statistics cover 2014, and are the most recent update on the make-up of Scottish business. They show Aberdeen and Fife both have more manufacturing output than Glasgow. In retail, Glasgow - with 14% - came ahead of Aberdeen and Edinburgh, both with 10%. The figures also show the sectors of the economy which have contributed most and least. The finance sector and some parts of agriculture are not included. They showed Gross Value Added (GVA, which is close to Gross Domestic Product) in the service sector came to £51bn. Manufacturing totalled more than £13bn and construction £6.6bn. The main contributors within services included retail trade at £6.9bn, engineering and architecture at £5.3bn and wholesale trade at £4.6bn. In manufacturing, the biggest sector was the drinks industry - which includes whisky - at £2.1bn, or 15% of total manufacturing GVA. Food products, including fisheries, came to £1.7bn and metal products £1.5bn. Aberdeen was reckoned by Scottish government statisticians to have an eighth of Scotland's manufacturing value added, followed by Fife and then Glasgow. The foreign ownership of companies has become particularly important to Scotland, as inward investment has replaced traditional heavy industries. And with plans being drawn up for the UK's exit from the European Union, that is seen as a discouragement to investors, who may no longer have unfettered access to Europe's single market. In the service sector, foreign-owned businesses accounted for 22% of GVA and 14% of employment. Businesses based in Scotland and owned in the UK represented 57% of GVA and 69% of employment, while those based elsewhere in the UK accounted for 21% of output and 20% of employment. In tourism, both Edinburgh and Glasgow had 15% of the nation's value added, and Highland had 8%. It represented 15% of the non-finance business economy in the Western Isles, but 4% across the country. Construction had the lowest level of foreign ownership, representing only 5% of jobs and 6% of value added. In the primary sector, which includes oil and gas production as well as energy utilities, foreign ownership accounted for 68% of value added and 42% of employment.

Under the new legislation, smoking in restaurants, long-distance trains and housing block entrance halls will be illegal. The government has made reducing smoking one of the cornerstones of its bid to improve public health. Russia has one of the highest smoking rates in the world, with more than four in 10 Russians considered smokers. Parliament passed the bill earlier in February, with only one deputy in the State Duma voting against the legislation. The law "On protecting the health of citizens from the danger of passive smoking and the consequences of the use of tobacco" will come into force in stages, beginning on 1 June. On that date, smoking will be banned within 15m of entrances to stations, airports, metro stations and ports; in workplaces; in entrances to apartment blocks; and in children's playgrounds and on beaches. Exactly one year later, smoking will be banned on long-distance trains and ships; in hotels; in restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and markets; and on suburban railway platforms. Under the bill, a minimum retail price will be introduced for tobacco and its sale and advertising will be restricted. The legislation meets some of the recommendations outlined in a World Health Organization report on smoking in Russia published in 2011. According to that report, the retail price of a pack of 20 of the cheapest brand of cigarettes in 2010 was 11 roubles (£0.23; $0.36; 0.27 euros) while a popular Western brand sold for 48 roubles (£1; $1.6; 1.2 euros). 14 September 2016 Last updated at 08:58 BST The malfunctioning device was caught on camera with motorists slowly driving past as the light went off every few seconds.

"Finn Russell has sustained an inversion injury to his ankle, which will require further care and assessment. "A number of other players will require the ongoing care of the national medical team, however these are not considered an immediate concern." Firefighters worked through the night to extinguish the fire, which was beside a nursing home. The fire service was called to Bath Terrace just before 21:00 BST on Sunday to what was described as a "well-developed fire". Eight fire appliances, an aerial appliance and a specialist command support unit tackled the blaze. No-one was injured.

They have appealed for anyone with information to contact police. Iraq's defence ministry also said a top aide to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had been killed in a strike on Mosul, but neither death has been confirmed. Separately, IS fighters were reported to have kidnapped 40 men from a town in northern Iraq on Thursday. The group has taken over swathes of Iraq and Syria in recent months. Iraqiya TV quoted defence officials as saying Abu Alaa al-Iraqi, head of the IS military council in the city of Tal Afar, had died in an air strike. Earlier reports on social media had suggested that al-Baghdadi himself had been killed in a separate strike on Mosul. But the defence ministry said intelligence suggested the strike had killed one of the leader's senior aides instead. US forces began carrying out air strikes on IS positions in August after they took over several cities in northern Iraq. It is unclear whether the latest strikes were by US or Iraqi forces. Residents in the northern province of Kirkuk said IS fighters had kidnapped dozens of men on Thursday, dragging them into cars in the town of Hawija before driving off. Locals said it was unclear why the men had been taken, saying IS had taken over the Sunni town without encountering any resistance last month. IS militants were said to have retreated from the village on Wednesday and residents were reported to have set fire to a flag left behind by the group. Amnesty International has accused IS of "systematic ethnic cleansing," including mass killings of ethnic and religious minorities. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch said said it had uncovered new sites of mass killings in the Iraqi city of Tikrit. On Wednesday, President Barack Obama vowed to destroy the group after it released a video showing the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff. The group has carried out several more beheadings, including that of another US journalist, James Foley, and several Kurdish fighters. Iraqi security forces, fighting alongside Kurdish and Shia fighters, recently launched an offensive against IS-controlled towns.

Jack Redshaw headed the Seasiders in front on 34 minutes before being sent off for a rash challenge on David Fox. Crewe levelled through Marcus Haber's neat flick on 83 minutes before Tom Aldred's deflected shot restored Blackpool's advantage 60 seconds later. Brad Potts then fouled Tom Hitchcock in the box, but top scorer Inman blazed the resulting penalty over the bar. Blackpool climb two places to 20th, one point above the drop zone, while Crewe stay 23rd, now eight points from safety, having not won in eight matches. Mary-Jean O'Doherty, 33, sang Face The Shadow in Vienna on Saturday as part of the group Genealogy. Speaking to BBC Wales ahead of the contest, she praised the Welsh support which helped the group through the semi-final on Tuesday. The group finished in 16th place with 34 points. Speaking about her semi-final experience before Saturday's final, she said: "It's just one of those surreal moments where you just think 'wow'. "There was a lot of Armenian flags and Welsh flags as well which was great. There was so much positive energy." O'Doherty, born in the United States to an Australian father and a Greek-Armenian mother, has settled in Cardiff with her Welsh husband. She was selected for this year's contest by broadcaster Public Television of Armenia. "I have never been to Armenia and I have always wanted to know about my heritage, about my genealogy," she added. "I couldn't think of a more interesting or outstanding way to do both." The UK was represented at Saturday's show by duo Electro Velvet, who finished in 24th place with five points. The 63-year-old man was admitted to hospital after complaining of vomiting and difficulty defecating. He told his doctor that he had swallowed a bottle cap in anger, after a fight with his wife. But when surgeons operated they found gold bars weighing nearly 400g (14oz) in his stomach instead of a bottle cap. Doctors, who performed the operation on 9 April, told the BBC that police and customs authorities had questioned the businessman and confiscated the gold. India, the world's largest consumer of gold, has seen a record rise in smuggling after a rise in duty on imports of metal to curb the current account deficit. Dr CS Ramachandran, a senior surgeon at Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said he had never seen a "case like this in my life". "This is the first time I have recovered gold from the stomach of a patient. I remember having taken out a bladder stone weighing 1kg from a patient. But finding gold in a patient's stomach was something unbelievable," he said. "It was a tedious three-hour-long operation. He is an old patient and we had to be careful. We found 12 gold bars lying in a stack in his stomach." The businessman, who had undergone four stomach surgeries in the past and is a diabetic, was admitted to the hospital earlier this month, with symptoms of "acute intestinal obstruction", Dr Ramachandran added. Last year India's government hiked the import duty on gold three times to curb demand for the precious metal. Gold imports, which had peaked at 162,000kg in May 2013, came down to 19,300kg in November after the hike.

Tory Iain Stewart said people need to know the facts so Milton Keynes' "damaged reputation" can be repaired. But Liberal Democrat campaign manager Jane Carr accused Mr Stewart of playing party politics. Lib Dem Subhan Shafiq vouched for rapist Nadeem Ahmed Kiani in 2011. Fellow party member Stuart Burke was chairman of a committee which had lifted a suspension on his licence. Milton Keynes South MP Mr Stewart said the "issue goes far beyond party politics" and people need to know the facts "so we can repair the city's damaged reputation". He said the Lib Dems should "re-think their decision and stop putting their own interests first". Mrs Carr said Mr Stewart's comments had "nothing to do with repairing the image of the city". She said the Liberal Democrats were the only party to have held an internal investigation into the taxi scandal. "We are treating this confidentially as we would an employment issue, rather than spend our time ignoring the needs of local people," she said. Milton Keynes Council revoked Kiani's licence in August last year after it was revealed he had been given a private hire licence by the licensing committee in 2011. The chairman of this committee was Conservative Amanda Box. She is no longer a serving councillor. A second committee lifted a suspension on his licence in 2012, despite Thames Valley Police having written to the authority giving more details of Kiani's convictions for raping and assaulting prostitutes in London in 1994. Mr Shafiq, who had vouched for Kiani as a friend, resigned as mayor in August. He quit as a councillor when the council released a report into the affair in November. Mr Burke, who had been chairman of the second committee, resigned from that role along with vice-chairman and Labour councillor Gladstone McKenzie. The Liberal Democrats said recommendations had been "locally actioned" but the report would remain confidential. Inga Maria Hauser's body was found in a remote part of Ballypatrick Forest, near Ballycastle, County Antrim, on 20 April 1988. Her neck was broken. The 18-year-old, originally from Munich, went missing after she arrived in Larne on a ferry from Scotland. No one has been convicted in connection with her murder. Det Ch Supt Raymond Murray said officers remained "tantalisingly close" to catching those responsible for what police have described as a vicious and ruthless assault. He said he believed that "there are people in the community who know who killed Inga Maria". "If everyone who has information was prepared to place it before the courts, then a different resolution to the case would be possible. "Inga Maria's family deserve to know what happened and bring them some degree of closure." A number of years ago, DNA screenings were undertaken to find a match to a male genetic profile found at the murder scene. However, the 2,000 samples screened failed to find a definitive match. Mr Murray said that there had been "strenuous efforts" to find those responsible and those efforts were continuing. He added that "extensive inquiries" have been made with those who were on the ferry with Ms Hauser in 1988, as well as a house-to-house inquiries. The 33-year-old hooker was accused of biting Castres flanker Thomas Caballero in the second half of Dragons' 31-18 Challenge Cup win on Friday.

Paul Nicholl, 50, of Carnkenny Road, Newtownstewart, drank beer and took diazepam before the collision in January 2014. Patrick McCroary, 62, who was travelling towards Strabane with his wife and children, died in the crash. The rest of the family survived. In victim impact statements read at Omagh Crown Court, the family said the loss of Mr McCroary and the injuries they suffered in the crash had changed their lives forever. The court heard Nicholl had suffered from addiction his whole life and was almost two and a half times the legal drink-drive limit when the crash happened. He pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving with excess alcohol and causing grievous bodily injury. The judge said: "The people of County Tyrone are no strangers to the scourge of death on our roads. "The McCroary family are not the first to be visited with grief and bereavement arising out of the carnage on our roads nor will they be the last, and we have had poignant reminders in recent times of the devastation such offences cause. "I take into account the timely plea of guilty, the remorse, the lack of a relevant driving record and the fact that he himself sustained injuries but I cannot overlook the very high reading almost two and a half times the legal limit." Nicholl will serve two years and six months in prison, followed by a further two years and six months on licence and was disqualified from driving for six years. There was no change in the order of the top five richest from a year earlier. The total wealth of the US super-rich grew 13% to $1.7tn, with the top 400 worth an average $400m more in 2012. The group's assets are worth as much as one eighth of the US economy, and grew much faster than the economy at large. According to the Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America, the average net worth of a person on the list was $4.2bn. In second place with a fortune of $46bn was investment guru Warren Buffett, who is chairman and chief executive of the insurance conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway. He was followed by Larry Ellison, head of software maker Oracle Corp, worth $41bn. David and Charles Koch of the energy and chemical business group Koch Industries were tied in fourth place with $31bn. The majority of those on Forbes' list became richer in 2012. Two hundred and forty-one members of the group saw their wealth increase, while just 66 saw it shrink. Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and financier George Soros dropped from the ranks of the top 10 into 12th place compared with a year ago. But the biggest drop was seen by Facebook founder and chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, who fell from 14th to 36th place in the wake of a disappointing stock market listing of his company.

Biggar is Wales fly-half while Davies is challenging him for the regular starting spot for the Swansea-based team. Davies started Ospreys' 46-24 Pro12 win over Cardiff Blues on Friday, with Biggar appearing off the bench. "We're obviously going to have to share the games and I think that's only going to be good for us," said Davies. "And I think we both bring something different." Biggar, 26, is on a dual-contract with Ospreys and the Welsh Rugby Union, who pay 60% of his salary and also limit the number of games he plays during the season. Davies has started four of Ospreys' six Pro 12 games to date at fly-half with Biggar starting the matches against Ulster and Leinster before his rival returned for the first Welsh derby of the campaign. Davies added: "It's been brilliant. Biggs wasn't here for the first few games and I just had to play as well as I could and I think, thankfully, I did that. "I just want to keep the momentum going now and keep playing when my opportunities arise and keep leading the team forward." Davies also believesrivalries of positions can only assist Ospreys' cause. "It helps massively and I think we're starting to build a real squad here with some strength in depth," he said. Ospreys dropped to third in the table as Leinster overtook them to go second by beating Munster 25-14 in Dublin, Ospreys' European Challenge Cup campaign begins on Friday, 14 October when they host Newcastle in Pool 2, which also includes Grenoble and Lyon. Biggar said: "We've started this season a lot better so we need to just keep building on our wins and hopefully we'll take that into Europe and see where that takes us in a few months." The archive remembers key moments in its history, from the creation of the Penny Black stamp to the introduction of the iconic "pillar" post boxes. Welsh individuals remembered include mail order business entrepreneur Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones and voice of the speaking clock, Kathleen Ferrier. We take a look at its history in Wales. Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones of Llanllwchaearn near Newtown, Powys, established the world's first mail order business in 1861. He went from a shop assistant to a multi-millionaire responsible for 4,000 workers and 250,000 customers and even supplied Queen Victoria with her underwear. Post Office reforms in 1837 and the arrival of the railways in the town made it possible to deliver catalogues across the country so people could choose items to be delivered to their homes. Also remembered in the gallery is folk singer Kathleen Ferrier from Pembrokeshire. Between 1926 and 1935, she was the voice of the General Post Office's new speaking clock. Ferrier was married in 1935 which ended her employment - at the time the GPO did not employ married women. Wales' firsts In 1785 the service's first mail coach route to Wales was launched between London and Holyhead, on Anglesey. Later, 1821 saw the introduction of steam-driven packet boats from Holyhead. The ships, called Meteor and Lighting, transported mail across the world. Wales' first post box was installed on Picton Road in Neyland, Pembrokeshire, in 1957 and remains the oldest working pillar box in Wales. Pneumatic pipes were installed in 1900 to carry telegrams between the head post office in Cardiff and subsidiary post offices. The pipes were laid underground in pairs, one for each direction of transmission, and propelled the telegrams by compressed air generated by a steam engine. On 20 July 1962, the world's first hovercraft mail service travelled from Rhyl, Denbighshire, to Wallasey, Wirral. Strong winds and continued engine failure meant it made its last trip was on 14 September 1962.

Sam Davies believes he and Dan Biggar will have to share Ospreys' fly-half duties this season. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Royal Mail has marked its 500 year anniversary by releasing a gallery of 500 events, people and objects that tell the history of the service.

The way the attack was set up made it "highly likely" that the Lazarus group was responsible, it said. Lazarus has been blamed for a 2014 attack on Sony and the theft of $81m (£62m) from Bangladesh's central bank. In those attacks, the group is believed to have worked on behalf of North Korea's government. In a blog, Symantec said "substantial commonalities in the tools, techniques, and infrastructure used by the attackers" led it to conclude that the Lazarus group had instigated the WannaCry attack. However, Symantec added that the character of the attack suggested it had not been carried out on behalf of North Korea. Rather than being a nation-state campaign, it said, it looked more like a "typical" cyber-crime campaign that sought to enrich its operators. North Korea has denied any involvement with WannaCry, branding any claims it was behind it "ridiculous". The virulent WannaCry worm is believed to have infected computers at more than 200,000 companies. Victims included more than 60 NHS trusts in the UK as well as Fedex, Renault and Telefonica. On compromised computers, the worm encrypted files and demanded a ransom of $300 (£231) in bitcoins to unlock them. Symantec pointed to small-scale attacks carried out prior to the massive May event that used the same basic malware but also employed other technical tricks Lazarus is known to use. The earlier attacks did not exploit the vulnerability that helped WannaCry spread so far, so fast but instead used six other malicious programs favoured by Lazarus. Two of these are known to have been used in the Sony attack. In addition, Symantec said, code inside WannaCry was shared with a separate program also linked to Lazarus. Symantec's analysis builds on work by other researchers who have studied WannaCry and found evidence that some of its core code is shared with other malicious programs Lazarus is believed to have used. Despite Symantec's lengthy analysis, some experts remained cautious about blaming Lazarus. "Attributing hacking operations and malware to specific groups is an imprecise undertaking that's frequently fraught with errors," wrote Dan Goodin, security editor at Ars Technica. So far, 300 victims are believed to have paid to have their files unlocked, generating a total ransom payment of $109,245. The money is being paid into three separate bitcoin wallets that are being closely scrutinised for activity to see if they can help identify the criminals. Schwarzenegger is best known as the hardman of cult movies such as the Terminator and Conan the Barbarian. He served two terms as California governor from 2003 to 2011 before returning to acting in The Expendables. "I'm happy to be back into acting and that I did my public service. I will be doing many more movies," he said. Previous recipients of the Golden Icon have included Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman. Austrian-American Schwarzenegger, 68, was presenting his latest film, Maggie, at the festival. He plays a farmer struggling to look after his dying daughter, played by Little Miss Sunshine actress Abigail Breslin. In something of a departure for the actor, the film is a horror thriller. He is more commonly associated with action roles, with his major breakthrough 1982's Conan the Barbarian, which led to a sequel and then to further hit action movies, most notably the Terminator series and Predator. He has also ventured into comedy, with notable films including Twins, with Danny DeVito, and Kindergarten Cop. Schwarzenegger's worldwide fame as both actor and politician belie his relatively humble roots. He grew up in rural Austria, the son of the local police chief. From an early age, he had a keen interest in fitness and bodybuilding and it was this that saw him emigrate to the US. He made his name and fortune after coming to prominence as the winner of Mr Universe when he was 20. Last month television network NBC said Schwarzenegger would replace US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as the host of reality show The Celebrity Apprentice.

Official figures published by the Scottish government showed that 28% of offenders were reconvicted in 2014/15. Reconvictions have dropped by 19% since 1997/98. But the statistics also revealed that, of the people released from short-term prison sentences of six months or less, more than half (57%) were reconvicted within a year. Of those given a community payback order (CPO), around a third (32.7%) were reconvicted. Justice secretary Michael Matheson said: "These figures show we are continuing to make good progress on tackling reoffending - a key goal of this government's justice strategy. "The continued fall in reconvictions is down to hard work from partners across Scottish justice, working together to prevent offending and keep our communities safe. "This is further evidence to back up our position that robust community sentences, particularly CPOs, are more effective at reducing reoffending than short custodial sentences. "I want to see a Scotland where people are held to account for their offending behaviour, but are also given the opportunity to address the underlying causes of their offending behaviour and become contributing citizens in their communities. "Our new model for community justice encourages that approach through its fundamental focus on preventing and reducing reoffending." Trevor Bolton, 78, from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, targeted eight boys over 20 years at Carmel College in Oxfordshire. The former housemaster has been convicted of 16 counts of indecent assault, six counts of indecency with a child, and three other sexual offences. Victims Peter Gluckstein and Stephen Raynor-Endelman told BBC News they were relieved by the verdicts. Bolton carried out his crimes against boys aged 11 to 15 between 1968 and 1988. During the trial, one of the victims said at the time Carmel College was regarded as the world's premier Jewish school. It was based Mongewell Park in Wallingford, but closed in 1997. The court heard the housemaster and French teacher lived on site and told the boys they could visit his home when they felt homesick. Two of his victims have waived their anonymity to speak publicly. Mr Gluckstein, 56, from London, was abused by Bolton from the age of 11. He said the teacher would help him with his homework and invite him to his flat, where the sexual abuse would take place. "I would be screaming inside my head for it to stop, but I would still go back," he said. "I still don't really understand the process, the neediness that meant you go back even though you hated it." Carmel College was founded by Rabbi Dr Kopul Rosen in 1948 and closed in 1997 It was originally based at Greenham Common, Berkshire, but moved to Mongewell Park in 1952 During its life the school was attended by about 4,000 students - a third from overseas A 1973 edition of the Observer described it as "the Jewish Eton" Source: Carmel College website Stephen Raynor-Endelman, 53, who is now a composer and lives in Los Angeles, was also groomed by Bolton from the age of 11. He said: "I was invited up to sit next to him in the classroom, then we'd have lunch together, and it was kind of an enviable position for the other boys. "He was man of major importance and a very significant figure of power and authority." Bolton will be sentenced at Oxford Crown Court on Friday.

Postal workers will share a 1% stake in the company worth about £50m in addition to the 10% given to them when the government started its sell-off in 2013. This sale of a 15% stake will be made to institutional investors such as pension funds. The move has been criticised by Labour. In his annual Mansion House speech in the City of London, Mr Osborne said: "We want to help the Royal Mail attract more investment and serve its customers, and use the money we raise in return to pay down the national debt." "And we're also going to make sure that there is a special bonus for the workforce who have done such a great job turning Royal Mail around. "Thanks to them, Royal Mail's share price has risen, so we're going to give more of the shares to the staff." But shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna MP said: "It's disgraceful the government is rushing to dump its stake in Royal Mail to City speculators without giving ordinary investors a look-in." Last month, Royal Mail reported an increase in full-year profits as cost cuts helped the company in a "challenging" market. It reported £740m in annual adjusted operating profit before transformation costs, up 6% from a year earlier. Revenues in the year to 29 March were barely changed at £9.4bn. UK parcel volumes grew by 3%, although revenues from its parcels business rose by just 1%. Letter volumes fell by 4%, with revenues from letters down 1%. The Frenchman, seeded sixth, beat Belgian third seed Goffin 4-6 6-4 6-1 in just under two hours. Tsonga, 31, will move up to 11th in the world rankings on Monday. Goffin, playing his second ATP final in a row after losing in Sofia to Grigor Dimitrov, is set to become the first Belgian man to enter the world top 10. "I'm really happy," said Tsonga. "The last couple of months, I put in a lot of effort to come back to this level. "It's a huge reward for me and it gives me new expectations for the rest of the year. "I changed my serve and worked a lot on my backhand and my returns. I also changed my strings. There were many things to improve my game." In Buenos Aires, Japan's world number five and top seed Kei Nishikori suffered a surprise defeat by Alexandr Dolgopolov in the Argentina Open final.

Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed they were undertaking excavation work at an address in Cullompton, Devon. David Williams was jailed for life in 2015 and his wife Pauline for 12 years for putting 10 girls and boys through rape, sexual assault and beatings. The couple became friends of the Wests in Gloucester in the 1980s. A police spokesman said: "Following intelligence received, Devon and Cornwall Police are undertaking excavation work at a property in Cullompton, Devon. "This relates to historic intelligence connected to the address and its former occupants. It is expected to take up to four days to complete. "Specialist officers will be involved in the excavation, which we hope will have as little impact on the local community as possible." Last year a court heard that David Williams had boasted of his connections with the Wests, who drank at the Prince Albert pub he ran in Gloucester. The Williams, who are both in their 50s, started abusing children in the late 1980s when they were running the pub. One victim was seven years old. They also ran the Victoria Inn in Exeter after moving to the city in the 1990s, where they went on to abuse a string of teenagers. At their trial, they denied a total of 46 charges of sexual and physical abuse between 1989 and 2004. David Williams was found guilty of 10 rapes, 13 indecent assaults, five counts of gross indecency, two of cruelty and one of sexual activity with a child. His wife was found guilty of two rapes and five indecent assaults. They were found not guilty of eight other allegations involving two other complainants. Fred West was awaiting trial on 12 murder charges when he hanged himself in prison in January 1995. Rose West was convicted of 10 murders in November 1995 and is serving life. The charges related to the deaths of young women over a 20-year period. Bala Chinda, 25, denies murdering 36-year-old Nkechi - also known as Jessica - McGraa at a flat in Union Terrace in February. He is also accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice. Mr Chinda had been expected to stand trial next week.

The Scotland winger, 25, was due to be out of contract midway through the season. He scored Celtic's opener in Sunday's 2-1 Scottish Premiership win over Hearts - the champions' first league match of the season. "I've been here since I was nine," he told Celtic's website. "I'm just delighted to sign here again." Forrest made his first-team debut in 2010 and has made more than 180 appearances for the club, scoring 31 goals. The first of his 13 Scotland caps came in 2011. He follows Australian midfielder Tom Rogic in committing himself to Celtic until 2019. The New Forest Centre display, in Lyndhurst, aims to show how new technology has helped map sites previously hidden from view. The Brockenhurst hill fort and Matley Ridge dog facility have not previously been noted in local history records. The exhibition runs until 24 January. The dog training facility housed about 200 animals which were trained to carry messages under battle conditions. The New Forest National Park Authority said the remains of the training trenches "are very hard to spot with the naked eye". The hill fort could not be seen with standard aerial photography, the park authority said. A technique known as Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar), which uses lasers shone from a light aircraft, was used to map the sites. World War Two accommodation huts, hidden in woodland at Beaulieu Airfield, also feature in the Shedding New Light on the New Forest's Past exhibition. The 25-year-old Victoria and Melbourne Stars player will be available to play in all three formats of the game. He made his Test debut in November 2016 and scored 105 as Australia beat Pakistan this month. "We are getting a guy who is on the up. He is young and wants to prove himself on the biggest stage," said Yorkshire head coach Andrew Gale. He also scored 54 in Australia's second Test win over Pakistan.

Pools have won two of the past three games, and moved eight points clear of the relegation places after Tuesday's draw at Newport County. Hignett, 46, has lost only one of his five matches in charge since replacing Ronnie Moore in mid-February. "The lads can't have any complaints at the moment," he told BBC Tees. "They've just got to bide their time, be patient, but make sure when their time comes they're ready." Form has dictated team selection, although Hignett admits the situation has provided him with welcome quandaries as players look to impress. "They've all showed me something that I like," the former Middlesbrough, Barnsley and Crewe midfielder added. "I'm the manager I have to make decisions, we're on a really good run and the lads who have the shirts now, have them and it's up to them to keep them. "The other lads have to train well and play well when they get the chance." Former Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman was answering questions about a mystery medical package delivered to him in 2011 for the team's former rider Sir Bradley Wiggins. Freeman, who now works for British Cycling, said the Jiffy bag contained only the legal decongestant Fluimucil, but added he "regrets" failing to back-up his clinical records. Damian Collins - chairman of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, which has been conducting an inquiry into doping - said the evidence "leaves major questions for Team Sky and British Cycling". The delivery, on the final day of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine race in France, has also been the subject of a UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) investigation. Dr Freeman withdrew from a planned appearance in front of the parliamentary committee earlier in March citing ill health. During the hearing, Team Sky and British Cycling's record-keeping was questioned, with Ukad chief Nicole Sapstead telling the committee her organisation did not know for sure if Fluimucil was in the package because there was no paperwork. Freeman has now provided written responses to a number of questions. He said "only Fluimucil was contained in the package sent" and he had requested it "a day or two before the end of the Dauphine". Freeman explained he did not believe the specific form of Fluimucil he required was available in France and added: "My first thought was of the supply I had in Manchester, and that the team would be able to access that supply quickly." In response to questions around record-keeping, Freeman said: "The present system of medical record-keeping and medicines management is a massive improvement to that which existed in 2011. "I accept that it would have been desirable to have backed up my clinical records, whatever system was used. I regret not doing this." In response, Collins said in a statement: "Once again, this new evidence leaves major questions outstanding for Team Sky and British Cycling. In particular, why were no back-up medical records kept for Bradley Wiggins in 2011, beyond those on Dr Freeman's laptop computer? "Why were there not more formal protocols enforced on record-keeping, and whose responsibility was it to make sure that Team Sky's own stated policies were being enforced." In December, Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford told the committee the package in question contained Fluimucil, and while Team Sky have admitted "mistakes were made" over the medical package, they deny breaking anti-doping rules. There is no suggestion either Wiggins, 36, or Team Sky broke any rules. The 22-year-old, who was a free agent after leaving the Addicks at the start of February, has been on trial with the League One side. Muldoon made three appearances for the Gills during a loan spell in 2015.

Police arrested the boys, aged between 13 and 17, on Saturday after reports of an incident at the school on Trench Road in the Waterside area of the city. The boys were questioned about a number of offences, including criminal damage. They have been released pending further enquiries. Hooker Dwyer, 21, joins the Broncos on a one-year loan deal while prop Riley, also 21, moves to the capital on a permanent one-year contract. Dwyer has made 10 appearances for Warrington this season, while Riley has featured 12 times. "They will match the culture we are creating here," Broncos head coach Joey Grima said. Dwyer, who signed a new two-year contract with Warrington this summer, had a spell on loan at Huddersfield last season. He and Riley both came through the Warrington Academy and both played for Swinton Lions on dual-registration terms. "Both these players have been prominent in the Championship and Super League," Grima added. "Coming from the Warrington system under Tony Smith ensures that the standards will be high in both players. "I've been impressed by both Brad and Glenn as their level of maturity exceeds their actual age and they will help us build the culture at the Broncos." Paul Findlay was originally jailed for four months and banned from driving for two years, after admitting the charge at Hamilton Sheriff Court. But the 51-year-old, from Bathgate, West Lothian, challenged the sentence at the Appeal Court in Edinburgh. Appeal judges imposed a community payback order of 300 hours of unpaid work in place of the jail term. Findlay had returned to Scotland from Blackpool when police were called to an accident on the M74, near Larkhall, South Lanarkshire, in November last year. Officers found a single damaged car. Findlay identified himself as the driver following the incident. The court was told he had 107mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, when the legal limit was 35mg. Findlay's counsel Tony Graham told judges at the appeal court that the penalty was "excessive", citing that Findlay had never had a custodial sentence before and an alternative penalty was available. But Lord Drummond Young said that as Findlay was three times over the legal limit and had been driving on a very busy road, the sheriff had been right to take a serious view of the offence. However, he said the appeal judges were persuaded that it would be appropriate to impose a community payback order with "a stringent unpaid work requirement" rather than imprisonment. He imposed the maximum period of 300 hours unpaid work. Courts in England and Wales will receive the first detailed rules on punishments for robberies in victims' homes and professionally-planned commercial raids. The new guidelines from the Sentencing Council are the first for robbery in 10 years and will apply from April. The Ministry of Justice said it welcomed the revised guidance. Under the new guidelines, which must be followed unless a judge feels it is not in the interests of justice to do so, there are now three categories of robbery specified: The previous guidelines did not include any detailed advice on the second two strands so the new set will be used to sentence a "much wider range of offending", the council said. Robbery always involves the use or threat of force, making it distinct from crimes such as theft or burglary, and carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. The "starting point" for sentences in the most serious cases will be eight years, 16 years and 13 years for the street, commercial and dwelling robbery categories respectively. Lord Justice Treacy, chairman of the Sentencing Council, said: "We want to ensure that judges have comprehensive guidelines that help them sentence the great variety of offenders they have to deal with, which can include anything from a street mugging to a major robbery by an organised gang." The guidelines also emphasise that offenders who use knives and guns should get the longest jail terms. They also direct judges to take into account both physical injuries and psychological harm so the full impact on victims is taken into account. A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "It is vital that victims of crime see swift and certain justice." Victims' Commissioner Baroness Newlove said: "These new sentencing guidelines demonstrate how important it is to consider the impact of the crime on the victim."

The upright piano appears in one of the film's most iconic scenes, in which Humphrey Bogart's character Rick utters the line: "Here's looking at you, kid." It was sold to an unknown buyer at Sotheby's in New York. The piano had been offered for sale by its Japanese collector owner to mark the film's 70th anniversary. It was expected to sell for as much as $1.2m, The owner originally paid about $154,000 for the piano at auction in the late 1980s. It is used in the film by pianist Sam, played by Dooley Wilson, to play the song As Time Goes By during a key flashback scene set in a Paris bar. Rick Blaine, played by Humphrey Bogart, delivers the famous line as he and Ingrid Bergman's character Ilsa Lund lean on the piano, toasting with glasses of champagne. The piano's sale marks the 70th anniversary of the Oscar-winning World War II classic, which is largely set in the Moroccan port city of Casablanca, then part of unoccupied French North Africa. The singer is seen crying in the 12-minute video, which she said she was uploading in an effort to help people understand mental illness. "I am now living in a motel in New Jersey. I'm all by myself," she said. "Mental illness, it's like drugs, it doesn't [care] who you are, and equally what's worse, the stigma doesn't care who you are." "There's absolutely nobody in my life except my doctor, my psychiatrist - the sweetest man on earth, who says I'm his hero - and that's about the only thing keeping me alive at the moment... and that's kind of pathetic. "I want everyone to know what it's like, that's why I'm making this video." O'Connor criticised her family for not taking better care of her over the last two years. "I am one of millions... people who suffer from mental illness are the most vulnerable people on earth, we can't take care of ourselves, you've got to take care of us," she said. "My entire life is revolving around not dying, and that's not living. And I'm not going to die, but still, this is no way for people to be living." The singer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003, but she later said she had been misdiagnosed and actually suffered from depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ​(PTSD).

Private investment firm Ennismore said improvements and upgrades were being made throughout the Perthshire hotel. The project includes a new bar in the Dormy Clubhouse and refurbishment of the hotel's main bar. Ennismore plans to create public spaces that "reflect Gleneagles' distinctly Scottish identity, but with a contemporary feel". Designers involved in the initiative include David Collins Studio, Timorous Beasties, Macaulay Sinclair and Goddard Littlefair. Work is expected to be completed by early summer. The hotel and golf resort was bought by Ennismore last July in a deal thought to have been worth about £150m. Ennismore chief executive Sharan Pasricha said: "We're approaching the refurbishment with bold and creative decisions while respecting the hotel's history and building on its remarkable heritage. "It's an organic progression - evolution, not revolution - and will ensure the iconic Gleneagles brand remains synonymous with luxury, and the hotel maintains its position among the leading hotels of the world." He added: "When Gleneagles first opened its doors in 1924, it was dubbed as the 'Palace in the Glens' and our aim is to surpass these glory days. "We look forward to introducing our guests to the new spaces and continuing to provide them with a five-star experience in a setting that is effortlessly stylish and luxurious." The collision happened on the A1 near Eyemouth at about 00:40 on Saturday. Police said it involved two cars and a heavy goods vehicle, with a man in one of the cars dying at the scene. Part of the road was closed while officers investigated the incident. Police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.

Villa have signed goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, midfielder Aaron Tshibola and defender Tommy Elphick since being relegated from the Premier League. "We're certainly looking for a striker," Di Matteo told BBC WM 95.6. "And maybe some more attacking players, depending on how the next few weeks go and which players are going to leave." Di Matteo has a first-team squad of 30 with only Rudy Gestede, Jordan Ayew, Gabby Agbonlahor and the injury-hit Libor Kozak providing senior striking options. Villa have been linked with Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford and Bristol City's Ivory Coast international Jonathan Kodjia as they attempt to make an immediate return to the top flight. "You could probably name 15 players that have been linked with us but I'm very pleased with the players we've brought in - I think we've done some good business there," Di Matteo said. "But my attention will now focus on outgoings. I would like to trim the squad - it's too big for my liking, so there will be some movement now." Villa start the league season at Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, 7 August. Nolito, 30, joined City for £13.8m from Celta Vigo in July and has made 19 Premier League appearances for Pep Guardiola's side, scoring four goals. However, he has only started the FA Cup draw with Huddersfield in 2017. Betis, 15th in La Liga, would be his fourth Spanish club - though his reported £100,000-a-week wages could prove an issue for them. Nolito appeared to be firmly in Guardiola's plans after signing a four-year contract last summer and he scored twice at Stoke in his second league outing. But his role has diminished and he has played just 42 minutes of league football since the turn of the year. Guardiola is planning significant changes to his squad after a season without a trophy and has said previous clubs Barcelona and Bayern Munich would have sacked him for underachievement. Defender Pablo Zabaleta has announced he will be leaving and his nine years at the club will be marked after Tuesday's game against West Brom. Michael Currer, 59, died from chest and facial injuries after being assaulted. He phoned police on 9 November, but when officers arrived at Saffron Square they were told "police assistance was no longer needed". The case has been referred to the police watchdog due to Mr Currer's contact with officers before his death. Norfolk Police said the IPCC had authorised a local investigation which would take place in due course. A man in his 50s and a woman in her 40s were arrested in connection with the murder and have since been released on bail. Officers have been in the Saffron Square area two weeks on from the murder "to speak to people who use the area regularly as a route to work or in their social life that might have seen something which could progress the investigation," said Det Ch Insp Andy Guy. "No matter how insignificant the information may seem to you, it could be key to our enquiries." The 23-year-old striker has scored once in 10 games since signing for the League Two club, but has been sidelined with a groin injury since September. Southwell is able to play in the Imps' FA Cup fifth round tie at Burnley on 18 February. "He needs to get minutes under his belt to get his sharpness back," Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth said. "He remains a big part of my plans and we look forward to welcoming him back in a month's time, when he'll be able to offer real tough competition in our attack," he told the club website.

Cleveland Police allegedly tried to monitor the activity of six people after a 2012 front-page story in the Northern Echo. This included reporters from the paper, a staff member and a solicitor, the Echo said. The force has not commented to the BBC. A complaint has been lodged by the Police Federation with the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). The force allegedly used the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) - which governs surveillance in relation to crime or concerns over public safety - to identify the whistle-blower. An application was made, the Echo said, after it published the story, which was based on an internal force report about institutionalised racism within the force. A Cleveland Police spokeswoman told the paper she could "neither confirm nor deny" whether a RIPA application had been made to monitor the phone activity of three of its journalists, a serving police officer, a solicitor and the then-chairman of Cleveland Police Federation. Northern Echo editor Peter Barron said: "These allegations are a matter of serious concern - that a police force should apparently go to these lengths to identify the source of a story which was clearly in the public interest. "This is surely not what the legislation was intended to do and the fact that Cleveland Police will neither confirm nor deny the allegations adds to our concerns." The IPCC confirmed it had received the letter of complaint from the National Police Federation on behalf of the Cleveland Police Federation chair. Once registered, the complaint will be referred back to Cleveland Police to look at before the IPCC considers an independent investigation. He was jailed for four years last March after admitting three counts of rape against a child in Milton Keynes. He was allowed to return to the Netherlands to complete his sentence and has been released after a year. The NSPCC said his "lack of remorse and self-pity is breathtaking". Upon his release, Van de Velde reportedly said: "I have been branded as a sex monster, as a paedophile. That I am not, really not." The 22-year-old also said he might consider a return to playing volleyball for the Dutch national team. Van de Velde, who met the girl on Facebook, travelled from Amsterdam to the UK in August 2014. He raped the girl near Furzton Lake, and at an address in Milton Keynes. The court heard he was aware of the girl's age and went to her home when her mother was out and had sex with her, taking her virginity. The NSPCC said: "Van de Velde's lack of remorse and self-pity is breathtaking and we can only begin to imagine how distressed his victim must feel if she sees his comments. "Grooming can leave a child feeling ashamed or even guilty because they believe they have somehow willingly participated when, in fact, an adult has preyed upon them in order to sexually exploit them." Van de Velde returned to the Netherlands after the rape, but was extradited and arrested in January 2016. It is understood that the authorities in the Netherlands do not extradite Dutch nationals without receiving a guarantee that the person will be returned if sentenced. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "It is this government's policy that foreign national offenders should serve their sentences in their own country wherever possible. "All foreign national offenders given a custodial sentence are referred for consideration for deportation at the earliest possible opportunity." The Dutch Volleyball Association said Van de Velde's main focus was "getting his life back on track", rather than a return to his playing career. "For us it is too early in his process to conclude anything with regard to volleyball," a statement said. "With regard to any future decisions to be made, we'll be guided by Dutch law," The all-rounder succeeds fellow Lancastrian David Lloyd to become only the seventh president in its history.

The LÉ Eithne was sent by the Irish government to join the humanitarian rescue operation earlier this month. Ireland's defence minister Simon Coveney said the migrants were on a wooden barge trying to make its way across the Mediterranean sea, and were taken on board early on Friday. It comes a day after the crew worked together with Italian, German and British ships to help rescue 201 migrants from five makeshift inflatable boats. "This is a tragic situation of people who are willing to put themselves at very significant risk," Mr Coveney told BBC Radio Foyle. "Some of them are victims of people-traffickers who are literally jamming them on to boats, charging them a lot of money, and then sending them to sea on vessels that are not fit to cross a river, never mind the Mediterranean." Mr Coveney said the Irish government would continue to assist the Italian navy's search and rescue efforts at least until the end of September. "All the evidence suggests the most migrant activity for people trying to cross the Mediterranean is in the summer months when the weather is a bit better and people think they can get across," he said. "It's a sign of the desperation of people in parts of north Africa that are willing to put themselves and their families in that kind of danger. "Ultimately what the European Union needs to find a way of doing collectively is creating stability and conditions so that these people can be looked after in their own countries." Leanne Hall, 30, from Hull, developed a brain tumour as a teenager and has had three operations to remove the tumour. Scar tissue and the remains of the tumour have left her with epilepsy and daily seizures. Miss Hall is due to undergo specialist surgery using the ROSA robotic surgery assistant in Sheffield in March. The city's Royal Hallamshire Hospital says it is the only NHS hospital in the UK with ROSA. Charity Neurocare has launched a £250,000 appeal to secure its future. Miss Hall had two surgeries to remove her tumour in 1993 and had further surgery in 2004. She said the seizures she had been left with were extremely restrictive. "I am not allowed to go out of the house on my own as it is too dangerous. "All my life I have wanted to be normal; drive, get a job, get a house but I just have not been able to." She said the new treatment had given her a "light at the end of the tunnel". "I have never had the chance to say to someone 'I might be seizure-free this year' and I find it amazing that something might be able to do that," she said. ROSA facts Source: Neurocare ROSA uses an advanced computer system to create precise 3D maps of a patient's brain, helping neurosurgeons to plan the best route for surgery. The surgeon then guides the robot's arm and instruments to the exact location of a seizure or tumour. The accuracy of the robot cuts surgery time and improves recovery times. Sheffield consultant neurosurgeon Mr Dev Bhattacharyya said: "The first operation I undertook took two-and-a-half hours compared to six. "Through its pinpoint precision we are now able to reach areas of the brain we would previously not have been able to, which is fantastic news for patients."

Hugo Pinell, 71, was killed and 11 inmates were treated for stab wounds on Wednesday when fighting broke out at California State Prison-Sacramento. Pinell, in jail since 1965, had been serving three life sentences. He was part of the "San Quentin Six" behind a prison break attempt in which four inmates and two guards died. He was originally given a life sentence for rape in San Francisco, and then again in 1971 for killing a prison guard at Soledad Prison. Pinell received a third life term for his role in assaulting prison guards during the infamous prison break attempt at San Quentin jail, near San Francisco, later the same year. He helped to slit the throats of prison guards in the bloody incident, which led to the deaths of six in total. Prison staff fired warning shots and used pepper spray to break up the riot at the maximum security facility on Wednesday, officials said. No members of prison staff were injured, they added. It is not clear if it was Pinell's killing that triggered the riot, as the Associated Press news agency reports, or if he was in fact killed during the violence. Officials said up to 100 inmates were involved in the brawl. An investigation into how the incident unfolded is under way. California State Prison-Sacramento houses some 2,300 inmates, most of whom are serving lengthy prison sentences. The committee said "the most significant" domestic risks to financial stability were connected to the referendum on EU membership. It referred to risks of a period of "heightened and prolonged uncertainty". It doesn't say explicitly that it has in mind the period after a vote in favour of leaving the EU. But that is the most likely scenario the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) is referring too. The result of that uncertainty, the committee judges, could "affect the cost and availability of financing for a broad range of UK borrowers". These pressures could, the FPC says, reinforce existing vulnerabilities. The current account deficit, which measures the UK's trade performance, remains high and it needs to be financed by foreign investment. Those flows have contributed to meeting the borrowing needs of the government and business, the statement says. The Bank also says a decision to withdraw "could spill over to the euro area", affecting financial markets and economic growth there. It also notes that sterling could be forced lower, though that has potential benefits - making British industry more competitive and raising the cost of imports, which would arguably be welcome at a time when inflation is well below the Bank's target. The Conservative MP John Redwood, who wants the UK to leave the EU, disputed the committee's assessment when he spoke to the World at One on BBC Radio. He said: "International investors have been quite relaxed about the possibility of Brexit. At a time when the polls have been strengthening for Brexit, and we have been getting nearer to the vote, interest rates have come down a little bit and we have seen a lot of inward investment. "Indeed we see the Germans trying to buy our stock exchange."

The bomb, which was hidden in a motorcycle, detonated beside a football pitch in the Lyari neighbourhood during a local tournament early on Wednesday. No group has said it carried out the attack. Witnesses say many victims were between six and 15 years old. The target of the attack may have been a provincial minister. The BBC's Charles Haviland in Islamabad says that Javed Naghori was at the game but was unharmed. In another attempt to kill him earlier this year several people died. Witnesses said the explosion happened in the packed stadium during the prize-giving ceremony after a late-night match. "When the match ended, we came out and as soon as we came out there was a blast," Ameer Ali, who was injured in the blast, told Reuters news agency. "Everyone started running in panic. Many people were hit, which scared everyone," he said. Several of the boys who died or were injured had been at the game and were wearing football kits. A local website report said doctors were removing pieces of metal and ball bearings from the wounded. Pictures from the scene show two massive craters in the ground and a destroyed car and motorbike. Karachi has long suffered outbreaks of violence, caused by militants or by rival political groups fighting turf wars.

But she carried on making the sounds - which she likens to the yelp a dog makes when someone stands on it - after giving birth. The mother-of-two is now getting help from neurologists and is due to have MRI and MRA scans on Sunday. "The neurologists are keen to confirm whether they are hiccups or whether it might be a tic," she said. "They sound like you've stood on a dog or something, like a dog yelping if you stood on its tail. "Someone suggested maybe it started off as a long bout of hiccups but then became a behavioural thing." She is also due to be admitted to hospital for a few days so her brain can be monitored while she makes the sounds. "It's completely random. I might do 20 in an hour and then not do any in an hour," she said. "They vary in volume. A lot of the time they are really loud." The beautician works from home and said her clients are used to the yelps. But she said activities like going to the cinema or a restaurant can be embarrassing so she avoids doing them. She went to the pub for the first time in years just before Christmas and found it awkward. "I walked in and let out this random noise," she said.

Gurpreet Sandhu hit Horace Downes as he crossed Brassington Avenue, Sutton Coldfield, to go to place a bet. Mr Downes died of an infection four months after the November crash. Sandhu, 27, of Church Lane, Handsworth, who previously admitted dangerous driving, was jailed for three years and banned from driving for seven. He was driving about 56mph in a 30mph zone when he hit Mr Downes, West Midlands Police said. Mr Downes, known as John to family and friends, suffered a life threatening head injury but was moved from hospital to a rehabilitation centre just over a month after the collision. But he died as a result of infection after being readmitted to hospital in February this year. A post-mortem examination did not establish a link to the collision. His family have since allowed footage of the crash to be released in the hope it will deter others from driving at speed. Mr Downes's daughter Janet Turner described her father as "the heart and soul of the family". Reading a statement at Sandhu's sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday, she said: "It is not possible to put into words the pain and distress felt by the family." Sgt Adam Green, from West Midlands Police, said Mr Downes's family had endured suffering because of "the selfish actions of one individual". "Gurpreet Sandhu was late for work on the day of the collision. He drove at twice the speed limit in heavy rain, in an area where the likelihood of pedestrians being present was high. "In allowing the graphic CCTV footage to be released, John's family hope that people will realise the impact of speeding and it will prevent another family suffering the same consequences." The manager has recalled experienced internationals John O'Shea, Robbie Brady, Jeff Hendrick, Jon Walters and Glenn Whelan for the clash in Dublin. An inexperienced Republic line-up lost 3-1 to Mexico in New Jersey on Friday.

Uruguay are ranked 16th in the world, one place above Mexico who gave O'Neill's squad a footballing lesson in New Jersey. However, the Republic boss has no regrets about taking on the difficult fixture, nor about the possible attacking threat of Uruguay, who will be without their star Barcelona striker Luis Suarez at the Aviva Stadium. "I know I've said it umpteen times and it's worth repeating - I don't mind these tests, I prefer them," O'Neill said. "I prefer the players to be in against something rather than taking a relatively easy friendly game. if there's such a thing, and get a false confidence about yourself. "It's best to go and play these games. It is all preparation for Austria." Birmingham City's Stephen Gleeson is the only player to have left the squad following the trip to the United States as he is getting married in Portugal. O'Neill added: "The Premier League players might need some game time and try to visualise the game against Austria at the same time". Republic of Ireland squad: Goalkeepers - Randolph, Westwood, Doyle; Defenders - Christie, Pearce, Keogh, Duffy, O'Shea, Long, Boyle, Egan, Ward; Midfielders - McGeady, O'Kane, Whelan, Arter, Hourihane, Browne, Brady, Hendrick, Horgan, Hoolahan, O'Dowda, McClean, Hayes; Forwards - Walters, Murphy, McGoldrick.

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch tracks species such as starlings and song thrushes, which have declined by 80% and 70% since the survey began in 1979. The unusual weather this winter could affect which birds are seen in gardens. The RSPB said it was likely there would be fewer birds because they have been less reliant on garden feeders. December was the warmest and wettest month in the UK in more than a century, before a cold snap was followed by unseasonable warmth in January. The RSPB said it would be interesting to see how this had affected the long tailed tit, which suffers in harsh winters, and if there were lower numbers of species from the continent, including finches and blackbirds. RSPB wildlife adviser Ben Andrew said: "If the UK experiences a continuation of these milder temperatures, those taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch may notice their gardens quieter than in other years. "The milder weather means there is more food available in the wider countryside, with birds being less reliant on garden feeders." However, Mr Andrew added it was still important to keep garden feeders stocked so that birds could find food whatever the weather. The birdwatch encourages people to spend at least an hour spotting birds and then report their sightings to the RSPB. This will help the organisation learn more about changes in bird numbers and spot any long-term trends. Those wanting to take part can register on the RSPB's website. The Scottish Chambers of Commerce said the outcome would leave "a substantial number" of people disappointed. But it warned that the referendum must not become defined in terms of winners and losers. The organisation said the Scottish economy performed best "when we work together with a common purpose". In a statement, chief executive Liz Cameron said her organisation had taken "a strictly impartial view on the debate" from the outset, because it recognised the strength of feeling among many business people and individuals on both sides. She commented: "Whichever direction the people of Scotland choose in Thursday's referendum, one thing is clear: on Friday, we must all come together to drive Scotland forward, either as an independent nation or as part of the United Kingdom. "Either choice will leave a substantial number of people disappointed but on Friday 19 September, we simply cannot afford to have a country divided. "The referendum on Scottish independence must not become defined in terms of winners and losers. "We will not benefit as a nation if almost half of our people do not feel part of the future that we have determined for ourselves." She added: "The Scottish economy performs best when we work together with a common purpose and the priority for our politicians on Friday must be to reach out to those who are left disappointed by the outcome of the referendum and ensure that they play an active role in helping to build our future economy. "On 19 September, it will be time to focus this energy on making a success of the constitutional direction that the people of Scotland have chosen. "Let's all unite and get back to the business of generating wealth, jobs and success." Her view was echoed by a leading figure in the Scottish legal sector, who called for Scottish businesses to speak out with "one voice", regardless of the outcome of Thursday's referendum vote. Kirk Murdoch, chairman of Pinsent Masons in Scotland, said it was "imperative that Scotland remains open for business" and that there should be no postponement of investment decisions after the historic poll. He said: "Any prolonged period of uncertainty or hiatus in investment would damage the economy and the prospects of the citizens of Scotland whether as part of the UK or not. "The message must go out with one voice, from all of us in the Scottish business community, that Scotland remains open for business. "I urge everybody in the commercial world, no matter which way they vote this week, to make that their mantra for the days and weeks ahead."

It would "immediately investigate this case" along with US experts. Saudi Arabia earlier denied allegations from the rebel Houthi-run government that the coalition was responsible. The attack targeted the funeral of the father of Houthi-appointed Interior Minister Galal al-Rawishan. The Saudi-led coalition said in a statement: "The coalition will immediately investigate this case along with the Joint Incidents Assessment Team in Yemen and experts from the United States who participated in previous investigations." It referred to "reports about the regrettable and painful bombing" in Sanaa, before adding: "The coalition confirms that its troops have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians." The US said it had launched an "immediate review" of its already-reduced support for the coalition. White House National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said US co-operation with Saudi Arabia was "not a blank cheque". He said that while the US was focused on achieving an end to the conflict in Yemen, Washington was "prepared to adjust our support so as to better align with US principles, values and interests". Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said the attack was an act of "genocide". UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Yemen, Jamie McGoldrick, condemned Saturday's strikes on the funeral gathering as a "horrific attack". He said that aid workers who arrived at the scene had been "shocked and outraged". The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had prepared 300 body bags. The ICRC's Rima Kamal told the BBC "several air strikes" had hit the venue attended by hundreds of civilians and damage to the buildings was extensive. The Saudi-led coalition is backing the internationally-recognised government of Yemen. Thousands of civilians have been killed since the war began in 2014. William Robertson, from North Berwick, received the Insignia of Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur. It was presented by French Consul General Emmanual Cocher. The 90-year-old's unit was the 5/7th Gordon Highlanders, one of the battalions of 153 Brigade of the 51st Highland Division. Mr Robertson received the medal at a ceremony in the Hope Rooms, North Berwick. He said: "I was an enthusiastic 18-year-old Private in the Gordon Highlanders when we crossed the English Channel to France, and saw actions in Belgium, Holland and Germany - including the night assault crossing of the River Rhine on 23 May 1945." Mr Robertson went to Perth Academy before becoming an articled clerk in London with his uncle's firm, moving on to work for Dunlop and marrying in Perth in 1953. He was then posted to Rhodesia in 1961 where he became a director of the company 11 years later and he and his wife returned to the UK in 1986. That is currently $7.25 (£4.90) an hour, but individual states can set their own rates. The move will only benefit staff at company-owned outlets - about 10% of McDonald's 14,000 US restaurants. In a statement, the firm said employees covered by the new policy will be paid more than $10 per hour by 2016. The rate is still short of the increase sought by campaigners in recent months. The move follows a similar one by retailing giant Wal-Mart. Franchisees who run around 90% of outlets set their own pay and benefits but this could prompt some of these to improve their own terms. One analyst said this could help offset the cost of the wage rise for the parent company. "They'll try to paint this as altruistic, but they're increasing their corporate income by doing this. It's not as nice as it sounds," said Richard Adams, a former McDonald's franchisee who now acts as a consultant for current ones. McDonald's franchisees pay the company royalties based on sales. Fast food workers across the US have been demanding that the minimum wage in the sector should be raised to $15 per hour. Workers at various outlets, including McDonald's, have held strikes and there have been street protests in many US cities. McDonald's new chief executive, Steve Easterbrook, said the company had "listened to our employees" and announced he would introduce "paid personal leave and financial assistance for completing their education" alongside a wage rise.

An unidentified object was spotted on Monday within Finnish territorial waters. It was detected again early on Tuesday, the navy said. The incident comes amid growing concern in the region over Russia's military exercises. In October, Sweden launched a hunt for a foreign submarine suspected to have entered waters near Stockholm. Navy operations chief Commodore Olavi Jantunen told Helsingin Sanomat newspaper that the depth charges, dropped at 03:00 on Tuesday (midnight GMT), were meant only as a warning. "The bombs are not intended to damage the target, the purpose is to let the target know that it has been noticed." Defence Minister Carl Haglund said the object seen in the Baltic Sea this week could have been a submarine. "We strongly suspect that there has been underwater activity that does not belong there. Of course it is always serious if our territorial waters have been violated," he told Finnish news agency STT. Commodore Jantunen was more cautious, telling Finnish public broadcaster YLE only that the sightings involved a "possible underwater object". Finland has become increasingly worried about the military exercises of neighbouring Russia. The two countries share a 1,300km (800 mile) border. But the defence minister did not say whether he thought Russia was involved. Finnish Border Guard ship Turva patrolled the waters off Helsinki on Tuesday Finnish media reported that although the target was believed to have left the area, the investigation into the incident would continue. Finland had a close eye on its waters and it had gathered useful information about the target for further investigation, Commodore Jantunen said. Finland is not part of Nato but it has strengthened its ties with the Western military alliance since the Ukraine crisis. Earlier in April, Finland also agreed to increase defence co-operation with other Nordic countries in response to Russia's activity in Ukraine. Last October, Sweden launched a week-long search for a suspected submarine in its waters. Naval vessels and planes scoured the Stockholm archipelago, amid suspicions that a Russian submarine was in trouble there. Russia's defence ministry denied any involvement.

They face France in their final group game on Tuesday, A top-two finish in the eight-team tournament would lift them in the rankings and give them a chance of a first World Cup appearance. The World League is a series of tournaments held over a two-year period with the latest edition running from Saturday 11 to Sunday 19 March in Belfast. The final group standings decide the knockout fixtures and the two teams who reach the final will go through to the next round of the World League in London in June. Our car got stuck behind dozens of buses organised by Mr Erdogan's supporters. They had been able to call in tens of thousands of demonstrators from across the country - and drive them to and from the rally. At this point, it became clear that the prime minister would defeat protesters who had taken over Istanbul's Gezi Park. The protesters were angry. But the prime minister was organised. In Turkey, organisation wins. Recep Tayyip Erdogan now finds himself facing an opponent who is just as organised as he is: Fethullah Gulen. The struggle between the two men poses a threat to Mr Erdogan's undeclared ambition to run for the presidency in 2014. Fethullah Gulen is an Islamic scholar who founded an influential social and cultural network which now includes more than 900 schools in Turkey. Profile: Fethullah Gulen's Hizmet movement Mr Gulen himself has lived in self-imposed exile in the US since 1999. His followers hold senior positions in the Turkish police and judiciary. For years, the Gulenist movement worked alongside Recep Tayyip Erdogan's alliance of the working class and religious and business communities. This broad alliance won Mr Erdogan three general elections. The Gulen movement's loyalists formed their own informal faction within the ruling AK Party. In recent years, the Gulenists helped the prime minister to reduce the power of the armed forces. But, during the Gezi Park protests in June, differences between Mr Erdogan and the Gulenist movement began to emerge. Mr Gulen's supporters accused the prime minister of governing in an authoritarian manner - a charge Mr Erdogan dismissed. Then, in November, the government announced plans to get rid of private schools which help students to prepare for university exams, including those run by Mr Gulen's movement. This began the period of open conflict between allies of the prime minister and those loyal to Fethullah Gulen. On 17 December, the police carried out dawn raids against leading businessmen and allies of the prime minister. Many here believe that these raids were orchestrated by Gulenists in the police and the judiciary. In June 2013, Recep Tayyip Erdogan survived the challenge posed by opposition demonstrators. But this time the challenge comes from a much more organised opponent - whose ultimate goal remains unclear.

Work on the tower will also pause over the bank holiday weekend, the Met Police said. Thousands of revellers are expected to pause near the tower, which is towards the end of the carnival route. They will observe a minute's silence at around 15:00 BST to mark the tragedy, in which at least 80 people died. In July London Mayor Sadiq Khan rejected a proposal by Minister for London Greg Hands to re-route the carnival away from Grenfell Tower. He tweeted: "Notting Hill Carnival is a firm London tradition and incredibly important to the local community. It should not be moved." A Met Police spokeswoman said the extra police officers were being deployed ensure "the security of the Grenfell Tower site is maintained and to protect the many items and memorials that have been placed near to Grenfell Tower." Organisers are encouraging attendees to wear "green for Grenfell" in a display of "reverence and respect amidst the revelry". Pepe Francis, chairman of the carnival trust, said: "The colour green represents renewal, growth and harmony and we feel that this sums up the support and respect for the Grenfell community and our neighbours. "Carnival has been the heart, soul and unifying glue of this community for over half a century. "We hope you join us for a peaceful celebration of our community, wear green as a mark of respect and remember the one-minute silence on Monday August 28 at 3pm." The community assistance centre set up in the weeks following the fire will be temporarily moved due to expected congestion from the celebrations, Kensington and Chelsea Council said. The Curve will move to the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, South Kensington, from Friday August 25 to Monday August 28, with a shuttle bus operating to transport families from their hotels. Work inside the tower is expected to restart on the following Tuesday. Kay Swinburne told a BBC Radio Wales debate that "not a single kilogram" of Welsh lamb is sold to the US. Meanwhile UKIP AM Mark Reckless said he would like to see direct support to farmers, with less bureaucracy. He said the EU had still not negotiated a US trade deal despite 40 years of UK membership. "Welsh Lamb is a huge export for us. It really is critically important for our rural communities," Ms Swinburne said. She said the biggest market was the EU, but warned of high EU tariffs if the UK left the bloc. "If we come out, no matter what the tariff on our Welsh lamb will be above 60%," she said. "That means we will not be able to sell our lamb into the one market that we have right now. "We have not sold a single kilogram of lamb to the United States of late. "So, we have no market for it. That would be devastating for our communities. "I don't believe any government in Westminster will look after our farming community here in Wales in the way the EU does, because they are farming led." Mr Reckless said he would would like to see a system "where we have freer trade generally" and deals are "negotiate those trade deals with other countries". "I'd like to give direct support to farmers, at least as much as they get now from the [Common Agricultural Policy], with much less bureaucracy associated with it," he said. "If we are willing to open up our agricultural market on a reciprocal basis while giving farmers direct support, then that will make it much easier for us to do a much broader and deeper free trade deals than we have been able to with the European Union." He said the EU still, after 40 years of our membership "hasn't negotiated a deal with the US".

5 April 2017 Last updated at 18:29 BST He said he abused a young boy in Bawnmore after he "saw an opportunity and I took it". The former England all-rounder is currently the head coach of the SBS Otago Volts in New Zealand. "I came to New Zealand with high ambitions for my coaching so to achieve a position like this is hugely satisfying," Mascarenhas, 37, said. The Black Caps face England in two Tests, five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match in May and June. The former Hampshire captain, who played 20 ODIs and 14 T20s for England between 2007 and 2009, replaces current New Zealand bowling coach Shane Bond, who will leave the role at the end of the World Cup. He has initially been appointed on an "interim" basis and New Zealand Cricket will decide whether to make the role permanent before the tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa in July. Mascarenhas, who spent 17 seasons with Hampshire before his retirement from county cricket in 2013, hopes his experience of English conditions will be an asset to the Black Caps. "I am newly out of the scene there as a player and I know most of the guys in the current team very well," he said. "The new guys I have played a lot with in county cricket and I know all the grounds we are playing at intimately so those factors will be useful in terms of the scouting and bowling plans." The Sheffield University team looked at how the colours are created in the blue-and-white feathers of the jay. They found the colours come from the way the feathers are structured rather than from pigments, like in human hair. Researchers believe the discovery could allow the creation of long-lasting coloured coatings. The publication Nature Scientific Reports said the team studied feathers in the Natural History Museum's collection in London. The research team found that instead of using dyes that would fade over time, the birds use well-controlled changes to the small cells to create their vividly coloured feathers, which are possibly used for jays to recognise one another. The jay is able to pattern these different colours along an individual feather barb - the equivalent of having many different colours along a single human hair, said the scientists. Andrew Parnell, from Sheffield University's department of physics and astronomy, said: "This discovery means that in the future, we could create long-lasting coloured coatings and materials synthetically. "We have discovered it is the way in which it is formed and the control of this evolving nanostructure [small cells] - by adjusting the size and density of the holes in the sponge-like structure - that determines what colour is reflected. "Current technology cannot make colour with this level of control and precision - we still use dyes and pigments. "Now we've learnt how nature accomplishes it, we can start to develop new materials such as clothes or paints using these nano-structuring approaches. "It would potentially mean that if we created a red jumper using this method, it would retain its colour and never fade in the wash." In 2011, Sheffield scientists developed a material which mimics the rainbow effect of butterfly wings to help the fight against counterfeit money.

The 18-year-old was found in Caldy Walk, Islington, shortly after 18:00 BST on Wednesday and died a short time later in hospital. Officers said they were keeping "an open mind" over the motive for the stabbing. No arrests have been made but a police spokesman confirmed the force was looking for a suspect or suspects. Mr Appleton was in Nightingale Park with friends when two youths pulled up on a moped, police said. The pillion passenger on the moped attacked the victim, stabbing him a number of times with a large bladed item before making off on the vehicle into Nightingale Road, a spokesman said. BBC London reporter Emilia Papadopoulos, who was at the scene, said the Mr Appleton was stabbed in Nightingale Park, but managed to stumble across the road to Caldy Walk where he collapsed. She added: "This attack happened in broad daylight and right in the middle of the estate, and witnesses told me there were children playing here at the time." The moped involved is described by police as having a clear front screen and displayed an L plate to the rear, while the pillion passenger was wearing dark clothing and a dark helmet. Det Ch Insp Chris Jones said: "I am very keen to hear from everyone who was in the area of Caldy Walk. "We are also keen to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious or who has information that could assist the investigation."

The Family Library had said it would cease to exist beyond 31 July if £250,000 was not raised. The government has now pledged £100,000 which, combined with £25,000 of donations and a match-funding donor, will mean it has the money needed. The charity runs services on the island which Tynwald previously funded. It took control of the services in 2012, when government funding ceased, and has been funded by online gambling firm PokerStars and that company's co-founders, the Sheinberg family. The Family Library provides lending services, resources to the Isle of Man's primary schools and a mobile service in rural parts of the island. Explaining the government donation, Treasury Minister Alf Cannan told the House of Keys: "Having given full consideration to the social value of the Family Library and mobile library, the Council of Ministers and Treasury have agreed a payment of £100,000 to enable the service to continue for the next 12 months." Librarian Mary Cousins said the charity was "overwhelmed" by the news, which had come "out of the blue". She said it was "more than we every hoped or expected". "It's not just the funding, but the confirmation that all our services are valued in the community - it means a great deal to us and exactly why we do the work we do. "We'd just like to thank everyone who supported us."

The Daily Telegraph reported that Dispatches will allege "a £10,000 donation was paid by the stepfather of an undercover businessman which would be against the rules on donations." Lord Strasburger of Langridge has denied doing anything wrong. The allegations are due to be broadcast in the Channel 4 programme next week. The BBC has not seen any evidence to corroborate what the Daily Telegraph is reporting and neither has it heard from Channel 4. Under rules overseen by the Electoral Commission and set out in law, any donation above £7,500 has to be declared and the use of a proxy as a donor - to hide the real giver of the money - is not allowed. In a statement published by the Liberal Democrats, Lord Strasburger said: "Whatever Channel 4 may say in their Dispatches programme, I do not think I have committed any offence. "Having said that, I believe that we should all be accountable for what we do, so I have invited the Electoral Commission to carry out an investigation into my actions. "In the meantime, whilst I maintain that I have committed no offence, I have stopped fund-raising for the party. "Also, for the sake of the party, I have resigned the whip from the Liberal Democrat group in the House of Lords until the investigation is completed." In a response to a suggestion in the Daily Telegraph that this apparent donor, working for Dispatches, had met the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, a spokesman for the party said: "It is common practice for senior party figures from all parties to meet with potential and current donors." The statement adds: "Dispatches has raised important questions about one particular donation, which the party is taking seriously. "The party had no reason to believe that the donation was made by anyone other than the person who signed the cheque." Willie Rennie, who leads the Lib Dems in Scotland, says Lord Strasburger had taken the right course of action. The MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife told the BBC: "We need to have a proper investigation to find out the truth in this regard and step back just now... the proper processes are taking place. We shouldn't make a judgement before that conclusion." Lord Strasburger, 68, from Bath, is a semi-retired businessman who took his seat in the House of Lords as a life peer in 2011. Now five weeks old and weighing 3lbs (1.3kg), he was officially named by US First Lady Michelle Obama and Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan. The name is pronounced "Bay Bay" and when combined with his two-year-old sister's name, Bao Bao, means "precious treasure". The women revealed the name in both English and Mandarin, accompanied by third-graders from a DC school. Mrs Obama said her family loves the zoo while Ms Peng said the pandas are a way to bond the two countries together. Bei Bei turns five weeks old on Saturday. His twin died four days after its birth to their mother Mei Xiang. The two-month-old boy, whose full name is Justin Trudeau Adam Bilan, was snoozing happily as the prime minister briefly held him at a Calgary Stampede breakfast on Saturday. The boy was born in May in Calgary - several months after his parents and their two children fled Syria's war. They hail from the capital Damascus. When they landed in Montreal in February last year, Mr Trudeau was not there to greet them at the airport, as he did with other Syrian refugees. But the couple, Muhammad and Afraa Bilan, felt they had to give their thanks to him in some way - so have named their newborn son after him. Between November 2015, when Mr Trudeau became prime minister, and January this year, more than 40,000 Syrian refugees have been resettled in Canada. About 1,000 of them moved to Calgary. In late January, after US President Donald Trump's ban on immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries, Mr Trudeau took to social media to confirm his government's commitment to helping "those fleeing persecution, terror & war". In Ontario in February, another Syrian couple named their newborn Justin in tribute to the prime minister.

Councillors agreed to cut 367 full-time jobs and reduce the number of libraries from 74 to 34. The moves are part of the council's bid to save £262m by April 2020 following government cuts. Since January 2014, 1100 people have taken voluntary redundancy. Among the measures approved are removing funding for subsidised bus services, ending free transport for faith schools and ending the funding of five museums - Queen Street Mill, Helmshore, Museum of Lancashire, Judges' Lodgings and Fleetwood Museum. Jennifer Mein, the Labour leader of Lancashire County Council, said: "The decisions we have taken today are heartbreaking but reflect the unprecedented financial situation we face." About 140 search warrants were issued by some 40 forces during the UK-wide raids, led by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre. Most warrants related to downloading and sharing indecent images. Some 80 children were removed from harm, including 20 found at raided properties. Operation Tharsley took place over 48 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, with support from the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca). Those arrested include a pathologist, a firefighter, an activities instructor, government employees, and a referee. Known offenders who had breached the conditions of the sex offenders register were also held. Forty-two forces from around the UK made the following arrests: Officers seized laptop computers, USB storage devices, and digital cameras, according to Ceop's deputy chief executive, Andy Baker. Mr Baker said pictures would be scrutinised to see identify victims using clues in the background. "Every image is a crime scene," he added. Meanwhile, Ceop published a report on risks posed by people who download indecent images of children. It reported a correlation between the viewing of abusive images and sex attacks being committed against children. Principal analyst at Ceop, Kate Fisher, said abusive internet images were becoming "more extreme, sadistic and violent, and feature increasingly younger children". Ceop called for police to prioritise investigating suspects who had easy access to children. Christian Sjoberg of NetClean, which aims to prevent child sexual abuse content, said: "As police cuts hit home and case volumes increase, crime-fighting agents attempting to tackle the problem are finding their resources stretched." "Sophisticated internet use makes the job of child protection increasingly complex, but technology can also hold the key to finding and preventing those who create and distribute this kind of material." The raids come as the UK government announces a draft bill to allow details of internet use to be stored for a year, enabling intelligence services to track crime with modern technology. Home Secretary Theresa May said: "Communications data is vital for the police in their fight against crime, including serious offences such as child abuse, drug dealing and terrorism." Simpson was stretchered off in the 26-21 home defeat by Leicester on 9 May with a medial collateral ligament blow. That cost him an expected place in England's 45-man summer training squad. "I'm just hoping I get the call from England to show what I can do in training to give myself a chance to make the World Cup squad," he said. After six weeks of treatment and rehabilitation under Wasps' medical team, and cutting his planned summer holiday short, Simpson took part in his first running session last Friday and is expected to be fully fit when both Wasps and England commence pre-season training. "I only missed one match, the last game of the season, and that is a real positive," Simpson added. "I knew that, if everything went to plan and I worked hard with the physios I could get back in time for pre-season with Wasps and England. "I'm on course for that and I should be back in the next couple of weeks, starting pre-season with Wasps on Wednesday. "We had a great season at Wasps. We played some superb rugby and I had a really enjoyable season. I felt really confident and think I was playing the best rugby of my life."

All Blacks number eight Kieran Read said the players had a "guided tour of the bathrooms" on Wednesday before adding that he now felt "a lot better". "Hopefully it's a 24 hour thing. It's just something you have to handle and we'll be alright for Saturday," said Read. Hansen has made three changes to the New Zealand team hoping to defeat England and extend their unbeaten run to 21 games. Carter returns to fly-half after missing the 33-10 victory over Wales on Saturday because of injury, while hooker Keven Mealamu replaces the suspended Andrew Hore and Brodie Retallick is picked ahead of Luke Romano in the second row. Former Wales coach Hansen said he was not taking a gamble on star man Carter, saying: "He's telling us that he's right to play, his actions are telling us he's right to play, so we'll play him." Hansen also admitted he was embarrassed by Hore's behaviour after the player was banned for five weeks for striking Wales lock Bradley Davies, and could understand why some believed the hooker's suspension was too lenient. Hore's ban will run until Sunday, 24 February, which means he will miss Saturday's Test and three Super Rugby pre-season matches for the Highlanders. "He admits himself the intent was to do something else but he got it drastically wrong," said Hansen of the strike which left Davies needing to be taken to hospital with concussion. "It's not us that set the rules, it's the IRB [International Rugby Board]. Do we agree with it? Probably not but it's there." New Zealand: I Dagg; C Jane, C Smith, M Nonu, J Savea; D Carter, A Smith; T Woodcock, K Mealamu, O Franks, B Retallick, S Whitelock, L Messam, R McCaw (capt), K Read.

In his debut feature film, director Lorenzo Vigas tells the story of a rich man who gets sexually involved with a young man from one of the city's gangs. "I want to dedicate this prize to my amazing country, Venezuela. "I know we have a few problems, but if we talk about them we will overcome them," Mr Vigas said. Venezuela is going through a serious economic crisis, which led to months of street protests last year over the shortage of many goods. On Thursday, prominent Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez was sentenced to 13 years and nine months in prison for inciting violence during the protests. Films should help Latin American countries "learn from the mistakes of the past," Mr Vigas added. Meanwhile, Pablo Trapero's Argentine crime thriller, The Clan, won the Silver Lion for best director. The film, which was a blockbuster in Argentina, tells the true story of an ordinary Buenos Aires family that abducted wealthy people for ransom and hid them in their house before killing them. Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron was the president of this year's Venice Film Festival jury. He said he was pleased by the fact that a Latin American film had won the top prize, but said it was "only a coincidence" that the jury had been led by a Mexican. The runner-up Grand Jury Prize went to the American comedy fantasy Anomalisa, directed by Duke Johnson and Charlie Kaufman. The best actor prize went to Frances's Fabrice Luchini, who played a judge in Christian Vincent's L'Hermine, or Courted.

The man, in his 20s, was discovered on Tuesday on an area known as "The Dip" next to West Suffolk College. He was taken to the West Suffolk Hospital where he was diagnosed with a life-threatening bleed on the brain. Two women, who were arrested on suspicion of robbery, have been bailed pending further investigation, Suffolk Police said. For more stories from the county, visit BBC Local Live: Suffolk Initial witness reports described seeing a man walking unsteadily and falling over, and officers would like to hear from anyone else who was in the area between 18:00 and 21:00 BST who may have seen him, or any unusual activity. The cause of the man's injuries remains unexplained, and a post-mortem examination will take place to determine the cause of death. Stephen Schwarzman also says it is unlikely energy exports to the US would face any new cross-border taxes. The business adviser met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Cabinet on Monday. Mr Trump has told Canada and Mexico he plans to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta). Canada "is held in very high regard", Mr Schwarzman told journalists after the Calgary meeting. "Canada is very well-positioned for any discussions with the United States," he said. The chief executive of the US investment firm Blackstone Group, who chairs a panel of business leaders who give Mr Trump advice, also noted trade between the two countries was essentially in the balance. Mr Trudeau and his team have been working to build a relationship with the new Trump administration. Senior aides to both Mr Trump and Mr Trudeau met in Washington and New York before Mr Trump's inauguration. Mr Trudeau and his team are meeting in Calgary over two days to discuss the US-Canada relationship. According to reports, Mr Trump's son-in-law and close adviser, Jared Kushner, was supposed to meet with Mr Trudeau and members of his Cabinet but was unable to make the trip. Mr Trudeau's spokesman said that "a high level of engagement" between both governments continues. During the election, the president made trade a core campaign issue. He regularly criticised deals made with countries like China and Mexico, which both import more goods to the US than the US exports to them. He has threatened to impose high tariffs against imports from both countries, Mr Trump's tough trade talk worried Canadian politicians and industry, given the US is the country's largest trading partner. The Nafta agreement came into effect between the US, Canada, and Mexico in 1994. On Monday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said he expects Mr Trump to meet Mr Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto within "the next 30 days or so" to discuss reopening the trade deal. The club said it had recently bought land for a club and community training centre to the north of Milton Keynes at Cosgrove. It would include four first-team, 11 academy, three community and two 3G artificial pitches. Pete Winkelman, club chairman, said: "It's been a long missing component of the development of the club." The facility would also mean building a new access road linking it to the A508. Mr Winkelman said: "This is the start of a long journey to develop an international standard club and community training centre and, as part of that, we will be looking to build partnerships and relationships. "Although it's still early days, we are extremely excited about the project." The plan will be submitted to South Northamptonshire Council at a later date. High tariffs for imported goods have prompted some Chinese consumers to shop abroad or through agents. By lowering the fees, China may hope to bring some of that consumer spending home. The government is particularly keen to promote domestic demand as the country is growing at its slowest rate since 2009. The tariff reduction is an "important measure to create stable growth and push forward structural reform", said the Ministry of Finance. From 1 June tariffs for Western-style clothing will be reduced to 7-10% from 14-23%. Taxes on ankle-high boots and sports shoes will be halved to 12%. Import tariffs on skincare products will fall from 5% to 2%. However, its not just import taxes that drive up the prices of imported consumer goods in China. VAT and other taxes also play a part. Analysts say consumers in China pay around 20% more for luxury goods than those in Europe.

Scientist Marie Campbell told the High Court in Glasgow she analysed the bag found in Coatbridge on 26 January 2010. She said the probability of the DNA being anyone other than William Paterson's was one in a billion. Mr Paterson, 35, denies fatally shooting 29-year-old gangland figure Mr Carroll in Glasgow on 13 January 2010. Mr Carroll was killed at the Asda car park in the city's Robroyston area. The court heard that a bag containing guns, which had been wrapped in other bags, was found in shrubbery behind a library in Coatbridge by a council gardener in January 2010. Forensic scientist Mrs Campbell prepared a report after analysing the items and comparing them with a number of reference samples including former murder accused Ross Monaghan. She told the jury that from a sample, taken from the grip plate on the handle of one of the guns, was analysed and a DNA match was found for the profile of Mr Monaghan. She also told the jury that the DNA profile on a Tesco carrier bag, which contained a gun, had initially been called "male A". Last year it was known that "male A" was Mr Paterson. Advocate depute Iain McSporran, prosecuting, asked about one of the samples taken from a black handgun. He asked what her findings were about that sample. She said: "The DNA profile contained DNA from at least three people, the majority of the DNA matched the profile of Ross Monaghan." Mrs Campbell said that "male A" and the other reference samples were eliminated. The jury were told that she could not "categorically" say that it would be as a result of Mr Monaghan handling the gun and that it "could well be that it is secondary transfer". She also said that the probability of it being anyone other than Mr Monaghan is estimated as being more than one billion to one. Mrs Campbell said items were analysed and a report was compiled last year using a DNA sample from Mr Paterson. The expert witness told the court: "The taping from the handle of the Tesco carrier bag was analysed and the DNA profile obtained matched the DNA profile of William Paterson." Defence lawyer Des Finnieston asked about a stab proof vest that was examined. It was put to her that the DNA profiles of Mr Paterson and Mr Monaghan were eliminated and she said "That's correct." In relation to the Tesco bag that was examined Mr Finnieston asked: "There's no way of telling the date and time or how long the DNA had been on it?" Mrs Campbell said: "That's correct." Mr Paterson denies the charges and incriminates six other people including Ross Monaghan. He has lodged a special defence of alibi claiming he was at an address in Cumbernauld at the time of the shooting. The trial before judge Lord Armstrong continues. Driving for the new Ford Chip Ganassi team, Guernsey's Priaulx and team-mates Harry Tincknell and Marino Franchitti finished ninth in their class, having hoped to get onto the podium. "It was a tough race," he said. "We had a gearbox issue at the start, so we were unlucky from the outset. "Considering what happened to us, just finishing was an achievement." Priaulx and his team-mates qualified fourth-fastest in their class, but saw fellow Ford drivers Joey Hand, Dirk Muller and Sebastien Bourdais win on the 50th anniversary of the manufacturer's first victory at Le Mans. "I have already been on a World Endurance Championship podium at Spa and sort of hoped to achieve the same here, but it was not to be," added Priaulx. "The team did a great job and we have all learnt a lot for next year."

Robert Fidler built his home at Salfords in the Surrey greenbelt without planning permission and hid it behind straw bales for four years. He was ordered in November to tear it down by June or face three months in jail. Mr Fidler confirmed on Wednesday demolition work had started. Last week he denied he had started to tear it down. Reigate and Banstead Borough Council said it was monitoring the situation. The authority told the farmer in 2007 he must demolish his property, prompting a 1,840-strong petition to save it. A High Court judge gave Mr Fidler a three-month suspended sentence last November and warned he would be jailed for his "defiance" if the property was not demolished by June. Mr Fidler said in December he might look at reducing his home in size, possibly to that of a bungalow. Paramjit Randhawa, of Honor Avenue in Wolverhampton, was filmed by undercover inspectors from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) in July 2013. The 72-year-old was granted benefits in 1995, but failed to inform the DWP after his health improved in 2011. At Wolverhampton Crown Court, he got an eight-month suspended jail term. The video, recorded at Wolverhampton Swimming and Fitness Centre in Wednesfield, shows the defendant walking on a treadmill and lifting weights. Judge John Wait ordered Randhawa - who has stepped down as a treasurer of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Wolverhampton as a result of the case - to pay back £19,782. "You have lost your good character because you are a dishonest man," he told the defendant. Randhawa's lawyer said his client "bitterly regrets" what he did and feels "ashamed". A spokesman for DWP said the footage showed how investigators are "rooting out the unscrupulous minority" exploiting the system. Verdun Hayes, from Somerton, made the jump at Dunkeswell Airfield near Honiton, Devon, to raise money for the North Devon Hospice. The centenarian, who has wanted to skydive since he was 90 years old, is thought to have become the UK's oldest skydiver. Mr Verdun said: "It was first class, really beautiful." He said he might jump again next year, adding: "It was better than I expected, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Coming out of the aeroplane and going into freefall was lovely." But was he scared? "Not in the least. I had a good man with a parachute behind me." The daredevil - who celebrated his 100th birthday on 6 April - made the jump alongside his two great-grandsons. Before the jump, his daughter Lin Tattersall, said he was "always doing something he shouldn't be doing" and despite her initial shock she was "secretly proud" of him. "I said: 'No Dad, I don't think you should do it' but over the months he's convinced me that he really wants to do it," she said. "In the UK he is the oldest man to do this skydive - so he'll get the record and he'll enjoy it but I'll enjoy it when it's over and they're all on the ground." The current Guinness World Record for the oldest tandem male parachute jump is held by Canadian Armand Gendreau, who was 101 years and three days when he made the jump in 2013.

30 July 2017 Last updated at 11:59 BST The spectacular scene took place on Friday at an air base in Chambley-Bussières. The balloons came in a variety of designs, including giant smiley faces and a kangaroo. Over 45 nationalities were represented at the event and it took 45 minutes to get all the balloons in the sky at the same time. Courtesy of Mondial Air Ballons The routes to Chilwell and Clifton have been under construction since 2012 and were meant to open in December 2014. Phil Hewitt, executive chair of Tramlink Nottingham said there had not been enough "risk time" factored in to deal with problems. He said the opening was "tantalisingly close" but would not confirm a date. Mr Hewitt said further driver training and timetable testing were being carried out ahead of the route's official opening. It was "unfortunate", he said, problems had resulted in "quite an extension" to the planned construction time. "We believed we had sufficient time to build the job within the three years that we said we would do it," he said. He said problems included finding unmapped utility lines or went on for longer than expected. Mr Hewitt addressed some of the "myths" around the reasons behind the delays, which included rumours the "wrong type of concrete" had been used. "Something's happened with the design that's caused the concrete to crack in ways we weren't expecting," he said. "It's not systematic across the whole network, it's fairly localised and is being dealt with now." He also said claims some tram lines had been put in the wrong place and that trams may bump into each other when passing on certain corners were also untrue. The extension will more than double the size of Nottingham's tram network, with about 10 miles (17.5km) of new track and 28 new tram stops. Their washout against Surrey left them still top of the Southern Group. "They look very strong. You've got a wealth of experience with Jacques Rudolph, Colin Ingram and David Miller with the bat," said Thomas. "Then you've got options with the ball, with spin and with seam if the wicket dictates." Speaking to BBC Wales Sport, Thomas added: "It's a well-balanced team, with Nye Donald and Andrew Salter flying the flag for the Welshmen." Thomas, who played on Finals Day in 2004, currently coaches and captains the Wales Minor Counties team which is used as a development side for young Welsh talent, as well as coaching Wales Under-15s. Eight of the 2004 semi-final side were products of the Welsh system, so how does he view the lack of home-grown players in the current T20 Blast side? "[Coach] Robert Croft and [chief executive] Hugh Morris have been clear in what they've said: they've got to be good enough before they play," said Thomas. "It's our place as coaches with the Minor Counties, Cricket Wales, the academy or the second team to put them in a place where they are good enough. "There are good players coming through, they've got to be nurtured into the first-class environment. Kiran Carlson, Owen Morgan, Lukas Carey have come through the system. It is creating players and it's then [a question of] the opportunities they get among the senior players." Championship chances While Thomas understands the imperative to target short-term success in the high-profile T20 Blast, he also hopes the youngsters will get more of a chance in the last five matches of the Championship, with promotion from Division Two now a distant dream. "Whether Glamorgan will blood some youngsters in the Championship, it's another way to do it because the revenue is from one-day cricket and they want to fill the stands and the hospitality [boxes]," Thomas added. "I'd like to think Robert and Hugh are contemplating it, dependent on the form of the boys in the second team."
