The 25-year-old New South Wales left-hander was hit on the top of the neck by a short delivery from Sean Abbott on Monday while batting for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield match. In Australia, cricket writers are shocked at the young talent's sudden death. Most feel Australia has lost a "true gentleman" and a promising player. "Hughes was one of the most exciting prospects Australian cricket had seen for years," writes Jonathan Healy on ABC website. "After a number of high-profile retirements, Australia had not quite come to grips with the fact that the golden age was over and Hughes was earmarked to lead the next generation of stars." The Courier Mail says no other tragic incident in Australian sports has caused "more widespread grief than this heartbreaking tale of a strong-willed young cricketer". "An impish cricketer with a warm, cheeky grin who had no enemies in the game, Hughes will forever be remembered as one of the game's most likeable characters," the paper says. "His quirky home-made technique fashioned on the family banana farm in Macksville made him a captivating study of originality and hand-eye co-ordination." Beyond his amazing "hand-eye co-ordination" and "subtle footwork", most writers are unanimous in their praise for Hughes' character. "Loved by everybody in the cricket community and a close friend of captain Michael Clarke, the batsman's fate has stunned the game," sports pundit Peter Lalor writes in The Australian. Sports expert Malcolm Knox writes in The Age that Hughes will be best remembered for his unique style and his demeanour as "a low-key country boy". "Phillip Hughes was an unforgettable cricketer, a personality cricketer: a little battler who was also thrilling to watch, a low-key country boy who expressed himself on the field with a uniquely flamboyant style," he writes. English papers too are shocked by the elegant left-hander's tragic death. Russell Jackson of The Guardian says Hughes seemed "destined for greatness at a young age". "It was a level of expectation and pressure that Hughes wore with humility and a path for which he prepared himself diligently," he adds. In South Asia, Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar has led tributes for Hughes. "Shocked to hear about Phil. Sad day for cricket," Tendulkar tweeted. Sandipan Sharma writes in the Firstpost website that Hughes' "unfortunate death... once again reminds us of the dangers of playing any game, even cricket, where the batsmen often walk out protected from head to toe like warriors". In Pakistan, batsman Shahid Afridi has paid his "heartfelt condolences to the family of Australian cricketer Phil Hughes on the sad demise".

"We will use video refereeing because we've had nothing but positive feedback so far," Infantino said. Video assistance was introduced for the first time in a Fifa competition at the Club World Cup in Japan in December. It was used to correct two decisions as Spain beat France in a friendly last month, having previously been used in France's 3-1 friendly win in Italy last September. The system has been tested in several domestic leagues, with Australia's A-League becoming the first top-tier competition to employ the technology earlier this month. It could also be used in English football as soon as August, bringing forward the start of a planned trial by several months. The Football Association had initially said the technology could be trialled in the FA Cup in January 2018, but it might now begin in the EFL Cup first round. His body was discovered by fire crews at the Old Village Hall in Nenthorn near Kelso on Sunday morning. The emergency services received a call at about 08:30, but said the blaze was fully developed when they arrived. It is understood the building had been undergoing renovations.

The musical, about a jaded weatherman forced to live the same day over and over again, will open in the spring at New York's August Wilson Theatre. The show, based on the 1993 film starring Bill Murray, has been adapted for the stage by the movie's co-writer Danny Rubin, with songs by Tim Minchin. The musical got glowing reviews when it opened last month at London's Old Vic. The London run, in which Andy Karl plays Murray's Phil Connors character, comes to an end on 19 September. It is not yet known whether any of the London cast will make the transfer to New York's Great White Way.

"I just feel it would not be a relaxing evening at the theatre," he said of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. "I assume every night there are 1,000 Harry Potter fans in the audience," he continued, adding it was "fantastic" they were there to see the play. Radcliffe is shortly to return to the London stage in an Old Vic revival of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. The 27-year-old said he had read Sir Tom Stoppard's play "at a fairly formative age", having studied it while on the Harry Potter set, and could remember being "baffled and delighted". First staged in 1966, the play replays Shakespeare's Hamlet from the point of view of two hapless minor characters. Radcliffe plays Rosencrantz in the 50th anniversary production, while Joshua McGuire plays Guildenstern. Speaking to the BBC's Rebecca Jones, Radcliffe said he had studied Shakespeare at school but had never performed it on stage. He said Sir Tom's play, which features the scenes from Hamlet in which Rosencrantz and Guildenstern appear, was "an amazing introduction" to the Bard of Avon's work. "It's a play so full of ideas there's always going to be something new to play with," he went on, adding he was "starting to enjoy the poetry" of the Shakespeare sections. The actor also revealed he would "probably just ignore" fans who attempt to record his performance, recalling that people had tried to talk to him on stage when he made his theatre debut in Equus. Directed by David Leveaux, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead runs from 25 February to 29 April. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The memo suggested Ms Sturgeon had told the French ambassador she would prefer David Cameron's Conservatives to win the 2015 general election. Ms Sturgeon denied the claim, and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards was asked to investigate. The commissioner has now said it falls outside her remit. This was because Mr Carmichael had been made aware of the memo through official Scottish Office channels, and not due to his role as an MP. The commissioner, Kathryn Hudson, said: "I have established that the conduct which led to my inquiry falls outside my remit. I do not, therefore, make any criticism, or indeed any other comment, on Mr Carmichael's conduct in this affair." Responding to the commissioner's report, Mr Carmichael said: "I am pleased that this is now resolved and will continue to focus on getting on with my job as MP for Orkney and Shetland." Ms Hudson said she did not have sufficient information from the Cabinet Office to be able to answer questions about Mr Carmichael's role in the matter at the beginning of her inquiry. She added: "On the same day that I initiated my inquiry, I wrote to the Cabinet Secretary to ask if he might release to me a full copy of the report of the leak inquiry carried out by Cabinet Office officials. "On June 16 2015, the Cabinet Secretary told me that he did not think it would be appropriate to release a copy of the investigative report." The commissioner also used her report into the matter to suggest that a review of the code of conduct for MPs should look at whether members seeking re-election should continue not to be covered by its rules during the period of a general election campaign. Both Ms Sturgeon and the French ambassador insisted she had not made the comments contained in the Scotland Office memo, which was obtained by the Daily Telegraph newspaper ahead of last year's general election. The memo had contained a disclaimer that parts of the conversation between the Scottish first minister and the ambassador may have been "lost in translation". Mr Carmichael claimed in a Channel 4 TV interview at the time that the first he had heard of the leak was when he received a phone call from a journalist. He had in fact authorised his special advisor to leak the memo, an action he admitted days after being elected as the MP for Orkney and Shetland. Four of his constituents launched a legal action aimed at having his election overturned, claiming he misled voters over the memo. But judges ruled in December that it had not been proven beyond reasonable doubt Mr Carmichael had committed an "illegal practice". However, judge Lady Paton said in the ruling that Mr Carmichael had told a "blatant lie" in the Channel 4 interview.

The claim: Labour could make car parking free at NHS hospitals for £162m. Reality Check verdict: The £162m is derived using an extrapolation that is unreliable. The Barnett formula is also likely to add about another £30m, and logistical costs could add more. Hospital car parking fees were abolished in Scotland and Wales in 2008, although a small number of hospitals still charge as they remain tied in to contracts with private companies that manage their parking facilities. Fees may be charged in Northern Ireland. In England, whether to charge fees is a decision for individual trusts, with some making parking free for particular patients such as cancer patients or those using dialysis, or for parents staying overnight with their children. Jeremy Corbyn told BBC News: "This would cost £162m. "Going to a hospital shouldn't incur an additional charge. In reality it's a charge on sickness." That figure is based on Freedom of Information requests made by the Press Association at the end of last year. Responses from 89 of the 120 NHS trusts in England showed they had made £120,662,650 in parking fees in the financial year 2015-16. Labour has assumed that the remaining trusts would have had the same average parking fees as those that responded, and extrapolated to reach the figure of £162m. That is not statistical best practice, especially because some of the bigger trusts, such as the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, did not supply 2015-16 figures. The previous year, that trust alone made £3,728,000 in parking charges, so the overall figure for England could be considerably higher. Even though fees generally aren't charged in Scotland and Wales, if extra money is to be spent on car parking at hospitals in England then money will also have to go to the other nations under the Barnett formula, which Labour says would take the bill up to £190m. There could be additional charges on top of that, as hospitals that currently contract out their car parking would have to maintain their own car parks and find a way to patrol them to ensure that hospital car parks weren't being filled up by people who were not using the hospital. By the standards of health spending, £162m is pretty cheap, approximately equal to the amount it costs to run the NHS in England for 12 hours. Nonetheless, it is a big issue for patients and visitors who have to pay to park at hospitals. NHS Digital releases average parking costs at hospitals, although not the overall amounts raised. A small number of hospitals charge as much as £3 an hour for parking. There was also a report from the RAC that criticised hospital parking in England for being "unreasonably stressful". It said too many car parks made users decide in advance how long they would need to park for, so that they often either overpaid or had to leave appointments to put more money in the meter. Labour also highlighted some NHS staff having to pay to park at the hospitals where they worked.

A knee injury saw Symons - who joined Worcester in 2013 - miss much of 2015. "It's quite a strange situation for me to be in, but the opportunity to go to Kingsholm and play for the Cherry and Whites is awesome," he said. "It's an amazing place to play, a big club with lots of history and I'm really excited."

Journalist Carlos Valverde reported in February that Mr Morales had a son with Gabriela Zapata, a woman detained over alleged influence peddling. Mr Morales acknowledged he had had a two-year relationship with Ms Zapata. But he said that Ms Zapata had told him their son had died shortly after birth. In the latest twist in the confusing story, Mr Valverde now says that Mr Morales and Ms Zapata never had a child together. Mr Valverde was conducting an investigation into alleged influence peddling involving a Chinese firm operating in Bolivia. Ms Zapata was working as a senior manager at the firm, CAMC, which had been given lucrative state contracts. Mr Valverde reported that she had had a relationship with Mr Morales from which a son was born. Mr Morales, who is not married, acknowledged the relationship, which he said lasted from 2005 to 2007. The president also said that Ms Zapata had told him she had given birth to his son in 2007 who, she told him, had died shortly after birth. But Ms Zapata's aunt, questioned by reporters as she was entering the jail in La Paz where her niece was being held, said the boy was alive and called Fidel Ernesto. Mr Morales said that if his son was indeed alive he would like to meet him. When Ms Zapata refused, Mr Morales asked a court to order her to let him see the child within five days. According to Mr Valverde, the child presented to the court was "neither the child of Gabriela Zapata nor that of Evo Morales, and even less so the joint child of the two". The journalist also alleges that Ms Zapata "passed the child off as her son". Mr Valverde did not give any further details as to where his new information came from but it matches the ruling of the family court judge asked by Mr Morales to investigate the case. The judge ruled on 6 May that the "physical non-existence of the child" had been proven. Judge Jacqueline Rada said Ms Zapata had refused to undergo DNA testing or let the child she presented at court as Mr Morales' son be tested. Supporters of Mr Morales say Mr Valverde's allegations in early February hurt the president ahead of a referendum which aimed to change the constitution to allow him to run for another term. Mr Morales narrowly lost the referendum. They are the first official documents from the conflict to be made public and contain testimonies from soldiers who say they were poorly equipped and cold. They say they were severely beaten for leaving the trenches to look for food. The conflict over the islands cost the lives of more than 900 soldiers. For years, war veterans have complained about the terrible conditions during the conflict, including lack of proper boots and coats, says the BBC's Ignacio de los Reyes in Buenos Aires. The previously secret files describe mock executions and soldiers being tied up inside empty graves. A lieutenant describes how another officer tied his hands and legs to this back and left him face down on the wet sand of a cold Falklands beach for eight hours. A sergeant says he had to be operated on after being kicked in the testicles. "These documents lift the veil on facts that were hidden for so many years by the armed forces," said Ernesto Alonso, from a veterans group in La Plata. The Falklands War began in April 1982, when Argentine troops invaded the British overseas territory which Argentina calls the Malvinas. A British task force was sent to the area and regained control of the islands in June. Three Falklands civilians and 255 British servicemen died during the conflict. The number of Argentine dead is estimated at about 650. Argentine defeat precipitated the end of the country's brutal military government, which was already facing serious economic problems and lack of popular support. Despite widespread criticism in Argentina of the 1982 invasion, most Argentines continue to claim the islands as theirs. President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has previously described British presence as "a blatant exercise of 19th-Century colonialism". The British government says it will defend the self-determination of the islanders. An overwhelming majority of Falkland residents voted in March 2013 to remain a British territory. About 2,900 people live on the islands.

Mr Robinson said there was £1m difference on the impact of their planned spending for Northern Ireland. He said the DUP had a good relationship working with both parties. The DUP had eight Westminster seats in the previous parliament, making it the fourth largest party. Mr Robinson told the Today programme that the DUP would "do is what is best first of all for the people of Northern Ireland" but also for the UK. "Because we are a devolved region, we've worked with both of them during the last two periods of parliamentary terms," he said. "So yes, we could work with either of those parties as we have in the past." Mr Robinson said the DUP had costed the impact of the manifestos of both parties on Northern Ireland and concluded the difference in spending at the end of five years was £1m. The Conservatives have outlined plans to save £12bn from the welfare budget. Mr Robinson said he could not see his party supporting that proposal. "I cannot see how £12bn could be saved on welfare in a way that would enjoy our support," he said. "I do agree with Conservative and Liberal Democrats that the onus is to get people out and working and that has to be the priority in terms of any changes in welfare. "But I cannot see how we can be supporting £12bn of cuts on welfare." Mr Robinson also criticised the Conservatives' attacks on the SNP during the election campaign. "I'm just hoping that it is more to do with the campaign team than it is with the policymakers in the party," he said. "I know campaign teams look single-mindedly at how they get over the line in terms of maximising the vote they can receive. "But I have to say some of the anti-Scottish rhetoric doesn't bode well for encouraging people to remain in the United Kingdom. "So there has to be a balance. At the one side you have to make it clear that there are real dangers with the separatism agenda of the SNP. "At the other hand, you've got to make sure you're not punishing the people of Scotland because some of them take that view." Arfon Jones chose Plaid Cymru colleague Ann Griffith for the £42,000-a-year post without an advert, and the local advisory panel raised objections. Some members were also concerned she would not promise to quit Anglesey council at the 2017 election. Mr Jones said she had now given that commitment, and was the right choice. Police and crime commissioners are entitled to appoint a deputy without the need to advertise the role, and the panel does not have the power to block the appointment. The North Wales police and crime panel refused to back Ms Griffith's appointment at a meeting in July, with chair Julie Fallon saying there had been "concern about the lack of transparency we feel has occurred throughout this process". Social worker Ms Griffith said despite the objections she had been "encouraged" by the "unwavering support" of the commissioner, the general public, and professionals in the field of criminal justice and social care. "The panel was a disappointing experience but I have learnt lessons from it," she said. "I have heeded the panel's advice and decided to stand down from my role as an Anglesey county councillor at the next election." Ms Griffiths said she brings "over 30 years' of experience working at the sharp and strategic ends of social services, care for children and vulnerable adults". "I believe I can make a positive and constructive contribution to the efforts of chief officers in making North Wales an even safer place for us all to live." Mr Jones, a retired police inspector, has said he will stand down from his role as a Plaid Cymru councillor in Wrexham in 2017. "I remain confident that Ann is more than qualified to fulfil this important role," he said. "I am sure the panel will in time come to see the benefits of having her as my deputy and that she will serve with distinction and great commitment."

The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, has said again his party could work with the Conservatives or Labour in a hung parliament. [NEXT_CONCEPT] The North Wales police and crime commissioner's chosen deputy has said she will step down as a councillor to devote herself full time to the role.

The Wales manager made it clear he will not be tempted to hold back 52-times capped Bale for the home match against minnows Andorra, who have yet to score a point in the qualification section. "I don't even think about Andorra, I thinka bout getting a result in Bosnia. To do that w need our strongest team on the pitch and, of course, he is right in the middle of that," Coleman said.

The protest was organised by a group called the People's Assembly Against Austerity. Demonstrators met outside BBC Broadcasting House in Portland Place, before marching past Downing Street and on to Parliament Square. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was among the speakers who addressed crowds at The Not One Day More protest. Speaking in Parliament Square, Mr Corbyn said: "The Tories are in retreat, austerity is in retreat, the economic arguments of austerity are in retreat. "It's those of social justice, of unity, of people coming together to oppose racism and all those that would divide us, that are the ones that are moving forward." The crowd chanted "oh Jeremy Corbyn" and "Tories out" during the rally, while many carried banners saying Justice For Grenfell. One protester told BBC News that "anger" had motivated her to join the protest, saying: "What's going on isn't good enough under the Tory government. "There have been cuts to every single service you can think of. It's just the pure negligence. How can you be cutting vital services?" The organisers said on Facebook that they "invite everyone - from campaigns and community groups across the country, from the trade unions, from political parties and any individual - to come together in one massive show of strength and solidarity". The statement added: "We're marching against a government committed to austerity, cuts and privatisation. "We're marching for a decent health service, education system, housing, jobs and living standards for all." Downing Street did not want to comment on the protest. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Ashley Yates, 45, of Filton, used the device to record images in the toilets of The Tynings Primary School in Staple Hill, South Gloucestershire. He admitted six counts of voyeurism and three of making indecent images of children at Bristol Crown Court. The offences relate to seven girls, two boys and six adults. They came to light after a child found a pen inside a disabled toilet at the school and handed it in to a caretaker. The court heard that in total the married father filmed 22 adults and nine children and had confessed to his wife that he was a "sexual monster". The judge accepted that Yates' main sexual interest was in adults urinating, but said he must have realised that children were also going to be caught on his camera. Judge Michael Longman described Yates' behaviour as "devious" and as a "significant" breach of trust. During the investigation, additional adult victims were identified by police. Det Insp Louise Boyce, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: "Yates totally abused his position of trust to feed his own personal desires. "He set up the recording device in a toilet knowing that both children and adults would be using the facilities." She added she had "no doubt" that Yates' crimes will have "a lasting impact on his victims and their parents". A letter to parents on the school's website said: "These victims came to light after items were seized by police during the course of the investigation. "If any further victims are identified during the course of the investigation they will be notified immediately."

The prime minister will say her commitment to changing the country is "undimmed" a year after taking office. But she will acknowledge her reduced voting power in the Commons after her election gamble backfired. And in the speech, on Tuesday, she will urge other parties to work with her on ideas to tackle "unfairness". Ministers loyal to Mrs May have dismissed reports of plots to remove her as drink-fuelled "gossip", but Labour remains on an election footing, with leader Jeremy Corbyn saying he hopes for a fresh poll in September. Mrs May will return to the message from her first day in Downing Street last July, when she succeeded David Cameron, and vow to lead what she called a "one nation" government that works for all and not just the "privileged few". BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said: "You won't hear anyone in Downing Street call it a re-launch or a fightback, but after the tumult, the commotion of the last few months - voluntarily calling an election in which she went backwards - Theresa May will this week attempt to regain the political initiative". In her speech, the PM will say that though the result of June's election was not what she wanted, "those defining beliefs remain, my commitment to change in Britain is undimmed". Her "belief in the potential of the British people and what we can achieve together as a nation remains steadfast, and the determination I have to get to grips with the challenges posed by a changing world never more sure", she will say. She will say she is convinced that the path she set out in her first speech outside Number 10 remains the right one. "It will lead to the stronger, fairer Britain that we need." She will launch a review - of casual and low-paid work - by Matthew Taylor, a former top adviser to Tony Blair, which she commissioned when she became prime minister. It is thought Mr Taylor, who has been examining the use of zero-hours contracts and the rise in app-based firms such as Uber and Deliveroo, will stop short of calling for a compulsory minimum wage for those employed in the so-called gig economy, who do not have guaranteed hours or pay rates. But he is expected to propose a series of extra rights for those in insecure jobs and could also recommend shaking up the tax system to reduce the gap between employees and the self-employed. He is also likely to call for measures to improve job satisfaction for people working in minimum wage jobs, according to The Guardian. In her speech, Mrs May will say: "When I commissioned this report I led a majority government in the House of Commons. The reality I now face as prime minister is rather different. "In this new context, it will be even more important to make the case for our policies and our values, and to win the battle of ideas both in Parliament as well as in the country. "So I say to the other parties in the House of Commons... come forward with your own views and ideas about how we can tackle these challenges as a country. "We may not agree on everything, but through debate and discussion - the hallmarks of our parliamentary democracy - ideas can be clarified and improved and a better way forward found." She will acknowledge the fragile nature of her position in the Commons but insist it will not stop her taking "the bold action necessary to secure a better future".

A number of people were treated by the ambulance service and taken to hospital. Highways authorities attended to clear a spillage from the road.

Morata, 24, will discuss personal terms and have a medical after Real accepted an offer of about £60m for him. Chelsea had previously tried to re-sign Romelu Lukaku, but the Belgium striker instead joined Manchester United. "It's not the one they were left with, it's the one they wanted, absolutely," Nevin told BBC Radio 5 live. The deal was announced a day after manager Antonio Conte signed an improved contract with the Premier League champions. "I'm going to the team managed by the coach who has placed the most faith in me, and that's great for me," Morata told AS on Wednesday. "It's beginning to look like Antonio Conte's Chelsea side," said Nevin. "And because he signed this new contract, it's saying: 'I believe in this, I want to be part of this.' It didn't seem like the case a couple of months ago. "Now, most Chelsea fans will be smiling and punching the air, much the same way that I was." Morata would be Chelsea's fourth signing of the summer, after goalkeeper Willy Caballero, defender Antonio Rudiger and midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko. Nevin said: "I wrote a piece on the Chelsea website about three months ago. I asked the fans: 'Who would you like most as a centre-forward?' "There were three names that came up. Number three was Lukaku, number two was [Alexis] Sanchez, and number one? Morata." Morata could replace Spain team-mate Diego Costa, who says he has been told by manager Antonio Conte that he is no longer in Chelsea's plans. Morata scored 20 goals last season after rejoining Real from Juventus. "I think he was the number one choice that Antonio Conte wanted," said Nevin. "I am not sure what's going to be happening with Diego Costa. I think it's quite unlikely he will stay with all the noises we've been hearing. "Chelsea need a striker who can give you 15-20 goals a season. "Put him in a team where you've got the likes of Cesc Fabregas, the likes of Eden Hazard giving you plenty of opportunities... Morata can do that." European football journalist Mina Rzouki on BBC Radio 5 live If you offered me the choice between Morata and Lukaku, I wouldn't even think about it. I would pay £20m or £30m more if I had to and I would bring in Morata. That is because I would always prefer an intelligent player in my team. Even if he doesn't score as many goals, even if he doesn't do whatever he needs to. If he is more intelligent then he can be moulded quicker, he can do what he needs to do. And Morata has Champions League experience. He was second top scorer for Real Madrid despite not starting. He has done it at Juventus and he has done it at Real Madrid. He understands, he has the pace, he is intelligent, he links up play, he can be a counter-attacking threat. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The Labour leader said his party was not wedded to the idea of freedom of movement as he gave a speech in Peterborough on Tuesday. Ms Wood said she feared he could be helping "make a case for leaving the single market". However, Mr Corbyn told BBC News he did not think immigration was too high. Ms Wood said: "The most important outcome for Wales from any negotiations is to be in the single market. "By upping the ante on migration, Mr Corbyn and the Labour party risk giving Theresa May the political cover needed for a hard Brexit. "If the speech makes rejecting the principle of freedom of movement a priority, then it will help the Tories make a case for leaving the single market, which would be disastrous for the Welsh economy. "Labour, despite being the UK opposition, cannot be trusted to know what is best for the Welsh economy." Tackled on the issue at First Minister's Questions on Tuesday, Carwyn Jones said he believed people would accept freedom of movement in order to work as "perfectly reasonable" if it guaranteed membership of the single market.

Aaron Barley, 23, admitted trying to kill Peter Wilkinson in Stourbridge on March 30. He entered no pleas to two charges of murder, relating to Mr Wilkinson's wife, Tracey, and son Pierce. Mr Barley was remanded in custody by a judge at Birmingham Crown Court. The case was adjourned until 19 July. A provisional trial date was set for 3 October. See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here The Halifax said that UK property prices rose by 5.8% in September compared with a year ago. This offers some cheer to first-timers who faced annual rises in house prices of 10% six months ago. Yet those buying in the priciest parts of the UK were typically seven years older than those in cheaper areas. The Halifax said that the youngest first-time buyers were in Carlisle in Cumbria and Torfaen in south Wales where they bought at an average age of 27. The oldest were in Slough in Berkshire as well as Barnet and Ealing in London where the average age was 34. Overall in the UK, the lender said the average first-time buyer was aged 30. Most are likely to be looking for properties a lot cheaper than a £14m mansion that has just been sold in south London or a typically priced home in the UK which, according to the Halifax, now costs £214,024. Where can I afford to live? Property values rose by 0.1% in September compared with August, according to the Halifax figures which are based on its own lending figures. However, they fell by 0.1% in the three months to the end of September compared with the previous quarter. Year-on-year, house prices were still rising but at a slower pace, said Martin Ellis, housing economist at the Halifax. "The housing market has followed a steady downward trend over the past six months with clear evidence of both a softening in activity levels and an easing in house price inflation," he said. He added that house prices had risen faster than earnings for some time, which had reduced demand among buyers. However, a shortage of properties in the market meant that prices were still going up. Ben Madden, managing director of the estate agents Thorgills, said: "The collapse in the market many predicted simply has not materialised and the reason for this is the acute lack of supply, exceptionally low mortgage rates and an economy and consumer that, as yet, appear to be holding up despite the political uncertainty. "It is nevertheless a peculiar and uncertain market. Generally speaking, buyers feel it is their market, but the longer the economy holds up in the aftermath of Brexit the more the market may begin to favour sellers." Martin Tett, housing spokesman for the Local Government Association, said: "The shortage of houses in this country is a top concern for people who are finding that buying their first house is increasingly out of reach. "Councils support measures to boost home ownership. But not everybody is ready to buy, and a renaissance in council housebuilding is needed to ensure there is a mix of homes - to rent and buy - that are affordable for those people that need them and that are crucial for enabling people to save money towards a deposit." A week ago, the Nationwide Building Society said annual house price inflation has fallen, from 5.6% in August to 5.3% in September. It said housebuilders should get on and build more houses with the number of homes on the market close to record lows.

Paper replicas of items like mansions, cars, iPads and luxury bags are burnt in the belief that deceased relatives can use them in the afterlife. Demand for these products is highest during the Qingming "tomb-sweeping" festival, which happened last month. The shops were sent letters but there was no suggestion of legal action. "We fully respect the funeral context and we trust that the store owners did not have the intention to infringe Gucci's trademark," Gucci Hong Kong said in a statement. "Thus a letter was sent on an informational basis to let these stores know about the products they were carrying, and by asking them to stop selling those items." An afterlife in paper - Juliana Liu, BBC News, Hong Kong The ancient tradition of venerating one's ancestors, even after death, is alive and well in the Chinese speaking world. It is based on the idea that these spirits continue to influence the lives of the living. If you want to avoid bad luck, the belief goes, then you'd better keep your ancestors happy. How? Traditionally, it was by regularly tending their graves, bringing them fresh fruit and gourmet food and drink and burning joss paper. Also known as "hell money" or "ghost money", they are pieces of paper money in outrageous denominations, which are meant for use in the afterlife. And these days, devotees can burnish their reputation with their deceased ancestors by offering items that many were never able to enjoy while still alive: luxury cars with European drivers, brand-name clothing. One of the best sellers at these shops are enormous villas complete with swimming pools, multiple car garages and Western domestic helpers. Gucci has not said which shops or how many had received the letter. In Hong Kong, some of the shops that had reportedly received the letters had removed their Gucci wares. But other brands, including Louis Vuitton, Yves St Laurent, Burberry and New Balance were still on sale. Hong Kong residents shared a mixture of comedy and scorn on social media. "Does Gucci want to open branches in the underworld?" Vincent Charles asked. Sammi Ng said on Facebook: "Maybe Gucci should launch their own paper offering products." Sai Ken made reference to Gucci pricing: "Living people cannot afford (Gucci products), and they still do not let you own Gucci products after death!" Virgin Care will run children's care services in the county including community nursing and speech therapy. Wiltshire Council said the transfer would streamline services with no noticeable effect on existing patients. But Karen Tilley, whose 10-year-old daughter Josselin receives care, says "key" staff will not transfer. Josselin has Charge syndrome, which causes a combination of acute physical and mental disabilities, and is treated in Bath. Mrs Tilley, from Westbury, said: "We were told it would be a smooth, slick takeover and we won't notice any difference because the same staff are staying. But we know that's categorically not true. "We are losing key people. When you have a complex child and you are suddenly faced with losing a lot of professionals at the same time, it will have a catastrophic effect." Wiltshire Council said "only a very small number" of clinicians who work with families in Bath and Swindon would not be transferring to the new service. Children's services commissioner Julia Cramp said: "Initially our aim is to keep everything running smoothly, and we're not expecting anyone to see any change. "Over time we would expect Virgin Care to deliver a new new model of children's community healthcare services that we as commissioners have developed with parents and children." She said Wiltshire Council would carefully monitor the new service, and it would work closely with Virgin Care to ensure "the plan is delivered" successfully. The five-year contract will see Virgin Care care for about 110,000 children across the county. The company declined to comment. The 21-year-old has come through the academy system at Wire but is yet to feature for their first team. He is available for selection immediately and could feature in Salford's next game against Castleford.

The Irishman, 27, was set to fight Rafael dos Anjos for the Brazilian's lightweight title on 5 March but the champion pulled out with a foot injury. McGregor said: "As long as there's an opponent and a date, you'll see me. "The only weight I (care) about is the weight of them cheques, and my cheques are always super-heavyweight." McGregor is predicting a quick victory over America's Diaz, 30, in their non-title welterweight fight at UFC 196 in Las Vegas. He added: "His soft body and his lack of preparation, he will not be able to handle the ferocity. End of the first round I feel he will be put away. "There's a respect there between us but it's business in there and business is business. He will be KO'd inside the first round." McGregor was looking to make history against Dos Anjos by becoming the first fighter to hold titles in multiple weight classes at the same time. And he was critical of the Brazilian for pulling out of their bout. McGregor, who also distanced himself from Diaz's claims that all UFC fighters use steroids, said: "Dos Anjos has a bruise on his foot. Did ya see it? "It's a bruise. Ice. Ibuprofen. If I jumped under an X-ray, the doctor would slap me and say: 'What are you doing, kid? Get out of here! Stop this.'" The Commonwealth had warned the Maldives of possible suspension if it failed to show progress on democracy. It has faced questions over freedom of speech, the detention of opponents and the independence of the judiciary. The Indian Ocean nation became a multiparty democracy in 2008 after decades of autocratic rule. The Maldives foreign ministry said in a statement: "The decision to leave the Commonwealth was difficult, but inevitable. "Regrettably, the Commonwealth has not recognised progress and achievements that the Maldives accomplished in cultivating a culture of democracy in the country and in building and strengthening democratic institutions." It said that President Abdulla Yameen's government had introduced a raft of measures promoting human rights and strengthening the rule of law. It said the Commonwealth had "sought to become an active participant in the domestic political discourse in the Maldives, which is contrary to the principles of the charters of the UN and the Commonwealth". The Commonwealth Secretary-General Baroness Scotland said in a statement she was saddened by the Maldives' decision to leave. She added: "We hope that this will be a temporary separation and that Maldives will feel able to return to the Commonwealth family and all that it represents in due course." One of the key issues for the Commonwealth was the detention of a number of political leaders, including former President Mohamed Nasheed. Anti-government protesters have expressed fears they could lose freedoms gained since the first multi-party elections in 2008. August saw a strict defamation law come into force, with stiff punishments for comments or actions considered insulting to Islam or which "contradict general social norms", and tighter restrictions on demonstrations. The death penalty is also being reintroduced, after a 60-year unofficial moratorium. In the past the Commonwealth has suspended some members, including Pakistan, Fiji, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe, over government oppression or violence toward citizens. No country has formally been expelled but some have withdrawn, including Zimbabwe in 2003 and most recently The Gambia in 2013. The Maldives is a largely Sunni Muslim nation made up of 1,192 individual islands. It is renowned as a holiday destination for its beaches and luxury resorts.

Coach Baciro Cande has picked a squad entirely made up of players based in Europe. Among the new names on the list is former Everton player Francisco Junior, who is now based in Norway. They will play the opening match against the hosts Gabon in Libreville on 14 January. It is unclear whether the Confederation of African Football will penalise the small West African country for the late submission of their squad. Guinea-Bissau eliminated two former champions - Congo Brazzaville and Zambia - in the qualifiers and despite a lack of cash for preparations they will aim to continue their fairytale run. Cande had hoped to persuade Barcelona's Edgar le and the Leeds United teenager Ronald Vieria to join them in Gabon but was unsuccessful. Left out of the pre-selection were Amildo Balde, the former Celtic striker now at Maritimo, and Crawley Town's midfielder Aliu Kaby Djalo, formerly on the books of Chelsea. No plans have yet been announced for pre-tournament preparations.

The company contracted to look after them, Anambi, blamed the deaths on a drop in overnight temperatures in May, as winter set in. But authorities in Mato Grosso do Sul state blamed the company. Officials said a study had found evidence of poor oxygenation and inadequate cleaning of the tanks. Many of the fish had been imported from Africa, Asia and Oceania and should have been transferred to a permanent aquarium six months ago. "The transfer of fish was planned between January and February, but the [permanent] tanks were not ready," Anambi's Augusto Silva told Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper. The Aquario do Pantanal was initiated by the previous governor, Andre Puccinelli. The project has so far cost about $50m (£30m) and it is not clear when it will be finished. It is hoped that the aquarium will attract thousands of tourists to Campo Grande. The city is the main hub for people travelling to visit the Pantanal, the world's largest freshwater wetland, covering much of Mato Grosso do Sul state and parts of Bolivia and Paraguay.

It follows a four day excavation at the bungalow in Bradninch, Devon, in response to "historic intelligence". It was suggested officers had been searching David and Pauline Williams' former home for the body of a baby. The couple were jailed in 2015 for subjecting 10 girls and boys to rape, sexual assault and beatings. A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said the force would not be pursuing any other lines of enquiry relating to the dig investigation. Det Supt Keith Perkin said: "Following intelligence received, Devon and Cornwall Police undertook excavation work at a property on Cullompton Hill, Bradninch, Cullompton, Devon, this week. "Following a detailed excavation at the property, nothing of significance was found." David and Pauline Williams lived near child murderers Fred and Rose West in Gloucester in the 1980s and 90s. The couple ran the Prince Albert pub where Fred West was a regular. A postcard from Rose West to the Williams - made public this week - appears to show the two couples were involved a sex ring. David Williams boasted in court last year of his connections with the Wests. Christopher May, 50, denies murder at Cardiff Crown Court. Tracey Woodford, 47, was discovered at his flat in Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff, in April. Mr May told the court he has "normal sexual desires" and does not get sexual gratification from violence. He said Ms Woodford arrived at the Skinny Dog pub in Pontypridd and joined a conversation he was having with friends. He became attracted to her and she agreed to come back to his flat for sex, he said. He told how Ms Woodford initiated sex, they undressed each other and had sex in his living room before he "lost interest". He said he fell asleep and woke to find her looking in his wallet. An argument broke out and she threw the wallet at him, he told the court. "I lost control then - I don't remember, the next thing I knew she was dead", he said. He added: "I was in a panic. If I get arrested because I killed her... I decided to get rid of the body and cut her up and hide her". He said he had never had non-consensual sex. He admitted regularly drinking at the Skinny Dog pub and said he consumed up to eight pints at a time. The jury was told he had a number of previous convictions for burglary, theft, arson and drink-driving.

This is more than can be accommodated by hotel rooms available in the city centre which number about 1,000. Hull beat Leicester, Dundee and Swansea Bay to the right to hold the title in 2017. The UK government chooses a new destination every four years, with the aim of helping tourism and the economy. Anthony Yates, of Visit Hull and East Yorkshire, said the events were expected to bring a "million visitors to the city from all over the world". "We want each and every guest to have a fantastic experience and leave with a lasting impression that Hull is a city with a personality like no other." Martin Green, of Hull UK City of Culture 2017, said: "Every resident of the city is the face of Hull 2017 so we want them to embrace the 'everyone back to ours' spirit by throwing open their front doors." Training is to be given to volunteers who want to offer rooms to visitors. Airbnb, the accommodation website, said listings in the city had gone up by more than 200% and a host in Hull could earn £127 a week on average.

Nick Alexander, 35, was shot in the abdomen and chest in the Bataclan nightclub in November last year, Chelmsford Coroner's Court heard. The inquest heard written evidence from Helen Wilson, who was with him at the concert venue where 90 people died. Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray ruled Mr Alexander was unlawfully killed. Live updates Ms Wilson said the pair had tried to "play dead" when they realised what was happening. "We dropped to the floor as soon as we heard the first shot," she said. "A tall man came over to us and started shooting. I tried to protect Nick. "I asked him if he had been shot. I felt a burning sensation around my legs and I could see blood. "Nick told me he had been shot in the stomach." Ms Wilson told the inquest she held on to Mr Alexander's hand while his breathing became shallower. "I twisted my body around and gave him mouth-to-mouth. I was telling him not to leave me and I love him," she said. Mr Alexander, from Colchester, Essex, was selling band merchandise for Eagles of Death Metal when he was killed in one of a series of co-ordinated attacks by gunmen across the city. He was the only British national to die in the attacks, the Foreign Office told the BBC. Outside the coroner's court, Mr Alexander's sister Zoe said he "lived his life to the full". Standing alongside her mother Sheelagh, she said her brother "lost his life in an indiscriminate act of terror at the Bataclan theatre". "Nick was a much-loved son, brother, uncle and friend, a strong, gentle, generous and funny man who lived his life to the full," she said. "We were blessed to have him in our lives and we miss him beyond measure." The 21-year-old, son of former Canaries keeper Bryan, was part of Championship club Norwich's academy until he joined Pep Guardiola's side in 2011.

Russia were banned by the IPC after the McLaren report identified evidence of a state-sponsored doping programme. The decision to ban Russia from the Games was upheld last week by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). But the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) says scores of athletes are challenging that decision. "More than 100 Russian sportsmen out of 266 who were selected for the Paralympics have filed individual cases with the IPC," Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) vice president Pavel Rozhkov said. London 2012 swimming champion Olesya Vladykina is believed to be among those who have contacted the IPC. "There is no reason to ban me," said Vladykina, 28, on social media. "I have sent the IPC documents and facts to allow me to participate in the Games in Rio individually. I will continue to fight for the truth and my name." The IPC confirmed on Monday that it had received a number of letters from Russian Para-athletes and added that "internal discussions about the letters is ongoing". Russian long jumper Darya Klishina was the only athlete from her country to participate in the track and field events at the Rio Olympics after she was cleared to compete by Cas. Athletics' world governing body IAAF had banned Russian athletes from competing at the Games over doping concerns but Klishina took part after she was able to prove that her clean drugs-testing record was established in the United States, where she is based, rather than in Russia.

He said he was stepping down from the party temporarily, after a meeting with the party's chief whip on Monday, The Portsmouth South MP is being sued in a High Court civil action by a female constituent who had contacted him for help in a neighbour dispute. Mr Hancock said he "completely refuted" the claims and was "vigorously" defending himself. Party leader Nick Clegg said last week he had spoken to chief whip Alistair Carmichael about the possibility of suspending the MP from the party, but at the meeting on Monday in Westminster Mr Hancock instead offered to temporarily withdraw until the court case is concluded. In a letter to Mr Carmichael, he said: "I can assure you that I will continue to vigorously defend my position and that I completely refute the allegations against me. "I'm doing this in the best interests of the party nationally and in Portsmouth and for my family. "I will continue to work hard for my constituents in Portsmouth as I have always done." In his reply, the chief whip said: "These are very serious allegations and the party takes them very seriously. "I realise that you have denied them consistently and continue to do so. "If, at the end of your case, your name is cleared then I would fully expect to have you back in the parliamentary party to play again your role in the Commons." Mr Hancock, who has been an MP since 1997 and also sits on Portsmouth City Council, was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault in 2010 but never charged. He was accused of "inappropriate behaviour", which he denied, towards a female constituent following a series of visits he made to her home. It was alleged he placed his hand on her breast, exposed himself and kissed her without consent. Mr Hancock hit the headlines in 2011 when he had an affair with his aide, Katia Zatuliveter, who was accused of being a Russian spy. But the Special Immigration Appeals Commission said it had seen nothing to support the allegations against Miss Zatuliveter and she won an appeal against deportation. Jordan Begley, 23, died in hospital after being shot with the stun gun at his Manchester home in 2013. Police officers rushed to the scene after his mother called 999 to say he had grabbed a knife during a row with neighbours. Mr Begley was hit with "distraction strikes" described as "standard procedure" for those resisting arrest. Manchester Civil Courts of Justice heard Mr Begley had thrown the knife down when he was shot with the Taser from about two feet away in his mother's dining room by PC Terence Donnelly. In a statement, PC Lee Moore described hearing a sound like that of a head hitting the floor and seeing Mr Begley face down on the floor, struggling with officers. Two officers including PC Christopher Mills were trying to handcuff Mr Begley, the court heard. "PC Mills applied two distraction strikes to the torso, to the upper back using a clenched fist," PC Moore said. Mr Begley was then handcuffed and PC Moore said he later heard "laboured breathing". "We sat him up straight away to see if there was an issue with him lying down. He was flicking in and out of consciousness." Officers then took off his handcuffs, turned him over and began chest compressions while a policeman went to fetch a trauma kit from a squad car. Mr Begley was also given oxygen and a defibrillator was used before paramedics arrived. PC Moore said the officers also discussed the "golf ball sized" lump on Mr Begley's head, which he appears to have suffered during the incident. The officer was not physically involved with restraining Mr Begley but said he had no concerns over his colleagues' conduct during the incident. The inquest was adjourned until Thursday.

Ben Butler, 36, told the Old Bailey he "panicked" and just laid on the floor after finding Ellie hurt in their home in Sutton, south west London. Mr Butler did not call 999 and when his partner came home they spoke about his wrongful conviction for shaking Ellie as a baby and "how it would look". He denies murder and child cruelty. Mr Butler told the court he was having a "lazy day" with his daughter and had taken a nap before finding her lying in her room with her eyes wide open. He told jurors he "dropped to his knees" but "didn't help the way I should have helped". "I tried to shake her. She didn't respond to what I did. I tried to breathe in her mouth. It just took the wind out of my sails. I still don't know why I didn't do more," he said. Mr Butler said he then went back downstairs "in shock" and had a lie down on the floor, where it took him "a while to get up". The defendant then called his partner Jennie Gray, 36, and told her to come home - but did not tell her why. The court has previously heard the pair did not call an ambulance for two hours after Mr Butler had first contacted Ms Gray. When defence lawyer Icah Peart QC asked why he did not call an ambulance earlier, Mr Butler replied he was "panicking" and "not thinking straight". "The one mistake leads to the next thing, to the next thing... Not doing the right thing leads to more problems," he said He explained to the jury the pair discussed Mr Butler's previous wrongful conviction for shaking Ellie as a baby in 2007 and "how it would look". "I thought 'oh, here we go again', I'm going to get blamed", he said. Jennie Gray then called an ambulance and Ellie was rushed to hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. She denies child cruelty but has admitted perverting the course of justice. Earlier, Mr Butler admitted he had been violent towards his partner. "Over the years we have had a lot of tension over a lot of things," he said. Asked if he ever hit his daughter, Butler said he only ever "tapped her bum". The trial continues. Officers were called to Wandsworth Prison in south London at 07:35 BST on Monday to reports a male prisoner was dead in a cell, Scotland Yard said. The man, who has not been formally identified but is believed to be in his 60s, was pronounced dead at hospital at 08:52 BST. A man in his 40s, also a prisoner, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A post-mortem examination is to take place in due course, a Yard spokesman said. Wandsworth, a category B prison, is the largest in the UK and one of the biggest in western Europe, and can hold more than 1,800 prisoners.

Tests showed the short-term memory of the animals improved when given similar drugs, according to a study published in the journal Nature Medicine. The build-up of proteins thought to destroy brain cells was also reduced. Alzheimer's Research UK said brain inflammation was looking like a "key player" in the disease. Psoriasis is an inflammatory disorder caused when the immune system attacks healthy skin cells, stimulating the production of new skin. The immune system, which controls levels of inflammation, has been implicated in both Alzheimer's disease and psoriasis. However, the exact cause of the gradual destruction of the tissues of the brain during Alzheimer's disease is still unknown. Researchers at the University of Zurich, in Switzerland, and the Charite university hospital, Germany, targeted two components of the immune system known to boost inflammation in mice genetically programmed to develop Alzheimer's. Injecting an antibody to attack the two chemicals, twice a week once the mice were one month old, led to a 31% reduction in beta-amyloid plaques, which are thought to damage the brain. Similar tests on older mice, which had already developed symptoms, showed "the significant deficit in short-term memory" was reduced "substantially", the report said. Drugs which target the same system have already been tested on people with psoriasis. The authors said: "Based on the safety data in patients, clinical studies could now be implemented without delay. Now, the goal is to bring the new therapeutic approach to Alzheimer patients quickly." Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "There is increasing evidence that inflammation is a key player in Alzheimer's and it is an exciting area for researchers working to defeat this devastating disease. "This promising research adds further support for the role of the immune system in Alzheimer's, linking two inflammatory proteins to the disease in mice. "Early studies like these are crucial to help highlight new targets for drug development, but we need to be careful not to assume that what is true for mice is true for men. Before any new Alzheimer's drug can reach patients, first it must be rigorously tested in clinical trials." Kathleen Kane, was found guilty of all nine counts including conspiracy, official oppression and perjury. Perjury, which is a serious charge, can alone carry a penalty of seven years in prison. Her licence to practise law has been suspended and has she resigned as attorney general. Kane, 50, is due to be sentenced within 90 days, and has vowed to appeal. "I have been honoured to serve the people of Pennsylvania and I wish them health and safety in all their days," Kane said in a statement. She was found guilty of leaking sealed court documents intended to embarrass a rival prosecutor, Frank Fina, who Kane believed had planted a news story claiming that she had ended a statehouse sting operation. An aide for Kane testified during the trial that she became "hell-bent on getting back at Frank Fina", and described her behaviour as "unhinged". She instructed her aides to leak the information the news media, and later lied under oath when questioned by state officials. During the trial, Kane declined to testify, and her defence team did not call a single witness to the stand. She claims to be the victim of an "old-boys" network that are taking revenge on her for revealing lewd messages sent by government employees using state email servers. Those embarrassing emails led to the resignation of two state Supreme Court justices, and other top government employees. "What she did while she was the attorney general, the fact she would commit criminal acts while the top prosecutor, is a disgrace,'' assistant district attorney Michelle Henry said after the verdict. The judge has released Kane on bail after requiring her to forfeit her passport to prevent her from leaving the country. Before being released the judge also warned Kane that there would be additional consequences if there were any signs that she was retaliating against witnesses. Several of her top aides testified against her during the trial in exchange for immunity. Kane, once a rising star of the Democratic Party, assumed office in 2013 becoming the first woman, and the first Democrat, to hold the position of attorney general. She had not held an elected position before then. She now faces a maximum sentence of 28 years in prison, however a lesser sentence is expected.

A full-scale search was launched after 19-year-old Manchester University student Joshua Caley disappeared at about 01:00 GMT on 1 January. Footage of a man falling into Ramsey Harbour from the East Quay was captured on security cameras. The book of condolence has been opened at the town hall in Ramsey. A spokesman for Ramsey Council said he hoped it would "enable people to record their memories of Josh and express their sympathy to his family at this sad time". Following his "unbearable" disappearance, his mother Joy asked people to keep looking for him. The teenager had been due to see in the New Year with his parents at the home of family friends. Sian Berry said she would "break the grip" of big developers on London's housing market. Zac Goldsmith has promised to build houses at the rate of 50,000 a year by 2020, while Labour candidate Sadiq Khan has pledged 80,000 new homes a year. Launching her manifesto, Ms Berry also said she would support tenants with a London Renters Union. The Green Camden councillor has laid out plans to halt the demolition of London estates, and ensure half the 200,000 homes would be built "affordably", by councils, smaller developers, communities and housing associations. Ms Berry also promised: Ms Berry said "fairness" was at the heart of the Green's policies, which meant "building more homes with co-operative and smaller companies... funding experts to help communities defend their estates and helping private tenants with rent controls and a renters' union so they can organise and stand together." Sadiq Khan also emphasised housing affordability and fairness in his manifesto, which set a target of half of new homes built across London to be affordable, with Londoners getting "first dibs" on properties. Conservative candidate Zac Goldsmith has pledged to ensure "a significant proportion" of all new homes are for rent, and says he will give Londoners the first chance to buy new homes in the capital. A recent poll indicated housing was the most important issue for Londoners in the upcoming mayoral elections. Labour AMs jeered ex-orthopaedic surgeon Altaf Hussain as he raised the issue at First Minister's Questions. He said: "Many newly-qualified doctors in England refuse to come to Wales because they don't want their children educated here - that is a fact." First Minster Carwyn Jones called the claim "absolutely extraordinary". Mr Hussain argued the "state of our education" was "one of the major barriers to recruitment of doctors". Mr Jones replied: "I utterly reject the idea, and that the message from the Conservative Party to medics should be don't come to Wales because of the education system. "Where is their Welshness, where is their loyalty to Wales?" "We have no difficulty in recruiting doctors in Wales," he added.

'The Current,' which will be performed at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on Saturday, follows five friends on a camping trip. It shows the consequences after one young person encourages the others to drink alcohol. More than half of young people aged between 11 and 16 in Northern Ireland say they have tried alcohol. Police in the Portadown area have backed the production and say they are providing education about alcohol abuse to children as young as 12 years old. Writer and director Pamela Cassells said the cast is determined to send a message. "As the play progresses, we see what happens as a consequence of drinking alcohol," she told the BBC. "The group are really passionate about doing it and I'm very lucky we have a strong group of young people who believe in the power of theatre. "They wanted to make a difference." Sgt Billy Stewart, of the PSNI, said: "The use and misuse of alcohol is something that is really important to us as a police service. "We try to engage with youth at all levels and really this play is another dimension and opportunity to get that across. "Unfortunately, I see the effects of misuse of alcohol nearly every weekend. "It's something that's always been there but the culture I would say is more towards younger children. "Twenty to thirty years ago my experience would be late teens misusing alcohol, but unfortunately that age has lowered and we now give talks in schools to children as young as 12 and 13 years old." Sgt Stewart said some young people had been hospitalised due to drinking alcohol and that, on a number of occasions, because of community intervention by youth workers and groups, lives have been saved. Michael Bradley, 19, plays the part of the influencer in the play. He said: "Drink can lead to other things such as (taking) drugs, depression and anxiety and it needs tackled before it gets worse. "I just want to show people how serious it can be to go out and take a drink at the weekend. "I know people who have gone out for one night for a drink and come home in a coffin". Jamie Chapman created fake Facebook personas of teenage girls and used them to get boys to send him naked images. They would be urged to engage in sex acts. If they refused, he threatened to send the images to friends or family. Chapman, from Solihull, admitted rape and 21 offences of causing or inciting sexual activity with children. The 28-year-old, who has also worked as a teaching assistant and sports coach, duped 18 victims in total, with the offences taking place between 2011 and 2016. More updates on this story Birmingham Crown Court heard he broke down when he was caught by police, telling a colleague he was a "monster". He was sentenced at a two-day hearing where he had also pleaded guilty to nine counts of taking, making and distributing indecent photos of children. Judge Melbourne Inman QC said the offences represented a "disturbing catalogue of sexual corruption and deviancy". It was "very difficult to imagine anything that can be a more extreme form of humiliation and degradation than was imposed" by Chapman on his rape victim, he added. None of his victims were from the nursery he worked at, police said. Prosecutor Matthew Brook said Chapman's aims were to get the boys to send him naked pictures so he could blackmail them, and then to encourage them to meet up with a boy and, ultimately, to meet up with himself. One blackmail victim agreed to meet a boy who turned out to be Chapman, of Tamar Drive. He raped him and filmed it on the boy's phone. When he tried to meet up with him again, the victim pleaded with him saying what had happened had "already scarred me for life" and said that he might take his own life. But Chapman replied: "I don't care." Police traced Chapman through internet addresses he left behind when logging into his fake profiles.

Daniel Beaumont of Springfield, Ipsden, Oxfordshire, admitted causing death by dangerous driving and driving whilst over the alcohol limit. Beaumont crashed into Michael Dix, 27, from Reading, on the A4074 near Ipsden, in November, Oxford Crown Court heard. Police said Beaumont's driving "could easily have caused greater loss of life that night". Beaumont had passengers in his car at the time. The crash also involved a lorry. He was disqualified from driving for five years and must take an extended driving test at the end of that period. PC Julia Stroud said: "Daniel Beaumont got into his vehicle while drunk and drove, regardless of the safety of other drivers or his own passengers. "He could easily have caused greater loss of life that night. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Michael Dix at this time." Tributes were paid to Mr Dix weeks after he died. A family statement said: "Mike was a devoted and loving husband to Steph, doting father to their beautiful son Tommy aged three, and a loving son and brother. "The love we all have for you will always remain in our hearts." Keith Robinson, who lived locally, died at the scene on the Aghintain Road. No other vehicles were involved. The collision was reported to police just after 05:00 BST, and they have appealed for witnesses. The Aghintain Road has reopened to traffic. Cook, 34, will appear for Durham as an overseas player before he is likely to join up with his country for their Test series with England in July. Durham lost top-order batsman Mark Stoneman and Scott Borthwick to Surrey at the end of 2016. "He's got some old school opening batting qualities," Lewis said. He told BBC Newcastle: "He loves to bat long, he's got a real appetite for scoring runs. When he gets in, he goes big. "In just nine Tests he's already got three hundreds against three different nations, home or away so he adapts well. His mental strength is one of the major facets of his game." Cook's journey to Test cricket was a long one, having played 16 years in the domestic game before his debut. He became only the sixth South African to make a century in his maiden Test when he scored 115 against England in January 2016. "Mike Hussey (Australia batsman who made his debut at the age of 30) was quite late in his career before he got a look in and made the most of it," Lewis said. "Stephen was well into his thirties, he worked really hard to get into that side and wants to continue with that for a while yet. "We've got him for the first part of the summer. There's the England v South Africa series from July so he should be selected, but we should see him for the first part of the summer without interruptions."

Jonathan Lappin, a science teacher from Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, was in a coffee shop with a colleague opposite the store when the incident happened. He said he saw people running with their phones out and initially "thought they were chasing a celebrity". Swedish police have said at least four people have been killed so far. Speaking to the BBC, Dr Lappin said: "People started to mass panic, and run into the coffee shop and crowd the back of it. "There was a lot of confusion, people were running out of the coffee shop and people who worked there were saying, 'don't worry, sit down again'. "That's when I started to see the police arrive, and they were yelling loudly at people to evacuate." Dr Lappin said he stayed in the coffee shop with his colleague for a few minutes, but then decided to try to leave the scene. He said that as soon as they came out into the street, they "could smell the burning and the smoke" - but did not fully understand what had happened at that stage. "I jumped to the conclusion that it must be a terrorist attack and wanted out of there, so we started to run as fast as we could down the street," added Dr Lappin. He said the police and other authorities had arrived at the scene promptly. "There were riot police with shields up, helicopters, everything's in lockdown. It's such a spread out city, there's a lot of confusion." Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has said everything about the incident points to an act of terrorism. One person was arrested later in the day, police have said. Podemos came third in Sunday's regional election, challenging the grip of the Socialists and the conservative Popular Party (PP), which rules nationally. The vote was seen as an important barometer of opinion ahead of national elections later this year. Podemos - meaning "we can" - got 15 of the 109 seats contested in Andalusia. The southern region was hit especially hard by Spain's property crash and debt crisis, and has the country's highest unemployment rate - 34.2%. The region's economy is dominated by agriculture and tourism. The Socialists (PSOE), who have governed Andalusia for more than 30 years, got 47 seats and the PP 33. Podemos, a leftist grassroots movement launched in January 2014, unexpectedly won five seats in last May's European elections. The Podemos leader in Andalusia, Teresa Rodriguez, said "we are the protagonists of change... The political map in Andalusia and Spain has changed". Another new party challenging Spain's decades-old pattern of two-party rivalry, Ciudadanos (meaning "Citizens"), finished fourth with nine seats. Ciudadanos has a pro-business agenda, and is seen as a threat to the PP. Snowball, 49, who had success leading the organisation of the recent Rugby World Cup, was also head of sport operations at the 2012 London Olympics. The Guildford-based lifelong cricket fan has also served on the Championship committee for Surrey. He will relocate to the West Midlands next month to replace Povey, 54, who announced his retirement in July. "I am delighted to have been appointed as Warwickshire's chief executive, joining a club with not only a proud and successful history but with a clear ambition for the future," said Snowball. "The strength of the playing squad, as evidenced by performances over the last five years, and the world class facilities at Edgbaston offer enormous opportunity." Warwickshire chairman Norman Gascoigne said: "Neil was the outstanding candidate for the role. "He will bring a wealth of relevant experience as the club strives for greater success on and off the field, building on the outstanding platform created under the leadership of Colin Povey." Povey has been in charge for almost 10 years, having taken over from former Warwickshire and England opening batsman Dennis Amiss in January 2006. His time at the helm has included the £32m redevelopment of the county ground to help restore international cricket to Edgbaston, as well as striking the lucrative deal with the local council to rebrand the county in Twenty20 cricket as the Birmingham Bears in 2013.

There are no councils where one single party has an overall majority. Only a handful of deals have been confirmed so far. Labour did not completely rule out the possibility of local deals with the Conservatives to run councils before the election. They strongly played down the notion - stressing their councillors would fight austerity, the difficulties of working with the Conservatives and the fact the party's National Executive Committee would need to approve any deals. But the notion that local deals between Labour and the Conservatives were possible should not come as a complete shock. In 2012, Labour and the Conservatives struck a deal to run Stirling - even though this kept the SNP, the largest local group, out of power. However, across Scotland the process of forming administrations is taking time. In Glasgow, an SNP minority administration is expected to take office on Thursday, while in Dundee the SNP have reached a deal with an independent councillor to govern together. But in Edinburgh there's uncertainty. Locally Labour gave an unambiguous commitment that it would not do deals with the Conservatives - matching a promise made by the SNP. Mathematically possible deals in the capital are politically impossible. When the City of Edinburgh Council convenes on Thursday for its first meeting since the election it is unlikely a new administration will take office. Administrations have still to be formed in many smaller councils too. The elephant in the room is, of course, the general election. It can be hard to reach deals in council chambers and fight for Westminster seats at the same time. The expectation is that most new administrations will be in place by the end of next week. It should then be possible to assess where power actually lies in local government - there are no guarantees that the largest party will always be in the administration. For instance, a deal in South Ayrshire puts the Conservatives into opposition while in Angus the SNP (who had a local majority at the last council elections in 2012) have been kept out in the cold. Nationally the SNP has more councillors than anyone else and is the largest group in more councils than anyone else. There is no doubt that the SNP will be in its most powerful position ever in local government, emboldened by the symbolism of taking control of Glasgow. But the deals so far suggest the party will enjoy less power than some may have anticipated. The SNP is the largest group in all four main cities but the expected coalition deal in Aberdeen means the party will not be able to say that it leads all four. Johnson has been a manager for nearly 30 years and says January is the most stressful month of the year. "My wife swears in January she is going to go away for a month as she says I change," said Johnson. "It's so true, the transfer window does make an ogre of you. You are definitely not the same person." Johnson began his management career in 1986, taking charge of Newmarket Town. He has gone on to manager Cambridge United, Kettering, Yeovil Town, Bristol City, Peterborough United, Northampton Town and took over at Cheltenham in 2015. "I'm all nice and polite with you in front of the cameras, but I'm a horrible, raging bull away from them because you are taking calls, your mind is somewhere else," he said. "'I can't do the washing up, darling, I can't make the bed, I've got a centre-half on my mind'. She deserves a medal, more accolades than me because these wives of managers put up with a lot."

The 22-year-old right-hander scored 609 Championship runs at an average of 43.50 as Middlesex won the Division One title for the first time since 1993. "Stephen's game continues to develop," managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said. "He has a great attitude and hopefully this is just a sign of what he is capable of producing." Chloe Thomas, 25, originally denied neglecting Finley, who was found with "catastrophic" injuries at their home near Tonypandy in September 2014. She changed her plea and was sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday. Her boyfriend Sean Buckley, 28, was jailed for life after being found guilty of child cruelty and murder. Buckley had claimed Finley fell down the stairs but he was found to have carried out a "deliberate" attack on him that included hitting him with a garden chair. The toddler died after suffering a catalogue of injuries that included a fractured skull and broken ribs. When he was sentenced in June, a judge told Buckley he must serve a minimum 17 years but said he may never be released. In mitigation, Sally Howes said that while Thomas admitted neglect and allowing cruelty, she did not carry out an assault herself. The defendant was described as being of "low intellectual capacity" and "a proud mother" before she started a relationship with Buckley. A post-mortem examination found Finley also had illegal drugs in his system and while Ms Howes said Thomas did not administer these, she admitted exposure to them was "unacceptable by anyone's standards". She asked for a custodial sentence to be suspended because Thomas was suffering from a "delayed grief reaction". But, in handing her a 20-month term, Judge Frances Patterson said: "You should have been caring for your son and not closed your eyes to his deteriorating condition." Head of NSPCC Cymru Des Mannion criticised Thomas for failing to protect her son from the "horrific abuse he suffered at the hands of Sean Buckley". He said: "Everyone who followed this case would have been deeply affected by hearing the evidence of brutality that blighted Finley's life and it is right that his mother has been jailed for her part." Mr Mannion said he hoped a detailed review of the case would help provide answers about what had happened.

He was also fined £1,250 at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court in London and given a five-year driving ban. The 47-year-old singer was arrested in July in Hampstead, north London after driving his Range Rover into a branch of photographic store Snappy Snaps. Last month he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs and possessing cannabis. The singer was told then that his offences were "a serious matter" and that he could face imprisonment. Michael is expected to serve four weeks in prison. The pop star was greeted by a horde of photographers as he arrived at court earlier. In 2007 he admitted another charge of driving while unfit through use of drugs at Brent Magistrates Court in London. Michael was found slumped at the wheel of his car in the early hours of 4 July having crashed it into the store frontage. He was arrested and taken to Hampstead police station, where he was found to be carrying cannabis cigarettes. Michael shot to fame as half of pop duo Wham! before embarking on a successful career as a solo artist. GEORGE MICHAEL'S LEGAL HISTORY George Michael's brushes with the legal system The singer - whose real name is Georgios Panayiotou - has made no secret of his long-time use of cannabis. The BBC's Lizo Mzimba was in court and said Michael had "gasped" when his sentence was passed down. Earlier his barrister said the singer was trying to get his life back on track and had started writing new material. "For the first time in many years he has started writing again," said Mukul Chawla QC. "His creativity, so long hampered by his drug dependence, is re-emerging." District Judge John Perkins told the singer he had taken a "dangerous and unpredictable mix" of prescription drugs and cannabis. "I accept entirely that you have shown remorse for the offence, that you are ashamed of it, that you admitted it," he added. "With regret," however, he said he had no alternative in this case but to give him a custodial sentence. "It does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what is clearly an addiction to cannabis," he told the singer. That is how Yeovil Town defender Ben Tozer describes the methods of manager Darren Way. Some evidence of precisely what Tozer meant emerged on Thursday, when Way surprised the gathered local media with a computer slideshow of his plans for the League Two club. Having lifted Yeovil from the foot of the Football League to now be 14 points clear of danger, the 36-year-old boss has been rewarded with a three-year deal. At Thursday's news conference, he was re-introduced by chairman John Fry and then, in front of a room which also included academy players and some of their parents, explained his pathways to success for the Somerset club, before answering questions. Yeovil have won eight and drawn five of their 16 league games in 2016 since Way was officially appointed, after a six-game spell as interim boss following the departure of Paul Sturrock.

"You can tell with the way we play for him and work for him. "When we came in one day, there was green tape everywhere, a horizontal line of green tape. He said it was for the relegation line - we need to finish above that line. "Little things like that are quirky and stand out. It's worked." Way was part of the Yeovil team that reached the Football League in 2003. His career, which included 273 appearances for Yeovil, was ended after a car crash in February 2010 and he subsequently joined the club's coaching team. On his new contract, Way told BBC Somerset: "The only thing that changes for me is I was a new manager and now I'm a manager. "It's a proud moment. I appreciate the commitment and support and certainly I'm really, really excited about the future. "The hard work is just starting now. I have to get people following me in the right way."

Independent TD Clare Daly told the Dáil two weeks ago a garda witnessed a colleague shooting a member of the public. She claimed he was told by senior officers to say he was not present. Ms Fitzgerald said anyone with information should produce evidence. She said the matter would then be investigated RTÉ reports that Garda Commissioner Noírín O'Sullivan said she was not aware of the details of any such case but that anyone with information could report it to her or to the Garda Ombudsman. Ms Fitzgerald said An Garda Síochána was the appropriate body to investigate the claim. Ms O'Sullivan said she was aware of the allegation but not the specifics and said there was no police investigation under way. She said police would need more details before concluding that this was an allegation of murder. Ms Fitzgerald said all information in relation to the statements made in the Dáil were now being examined and would be followed up. She said she had asked for a full report on the matter. PC Adam Koch, who was stabbed twice through his armoured vest, and PC Jean Stevens disarmed and arrested Mohamoud Elmi in June 2013. Metropolitan Police PC Winston Mugarura was also honoured for breaking up a street attack in December 2013. The officers were recognised at the Police Bravery Awards, the first joint winners of the overall award. The awards ceremony took place in central London on Tuesday night. PC Koch had fired his Taser at Elmi to no effect, and the attacker stabbed the officer in his shoulder and abdomen. But, with the help of worshippers at the Madrassa Qasim Ul Uloom centre, he managed to hold Elmi down while PC Stevens arrested him. Elmi, who was declared insane at his trial, stabbed three other people at the mosque. PC Koch said: "If it hadn't have been for a combined effort from everybody involved, I've got no doubt that either I or the both of us wouldn't be here to tell the tale." PC Stevens said she thought her colleague was dead following the struggle to disarm Elmi, and praised his bravery during the "horrendous" scene. "You expect to come across all kinds of situations in our job, but you don't expect to watch a colleague get so seriously injured." PC Winston Mugarura received his bravery award for coming to the aid of a man in December 2013. While off duty he intervened to help the victim, who was being attacked by a group of up to 10 people. He shielded the man before getting him to safety and then chasing the suspects. John Tully, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: "Winston Mugarura was off duty, yet he put himself into a dangerous situation to protect others."

Taha Hussain, 21, from Slough, used a phone emblazoned with so-called Islamic State's black flag to post videos and audio to social media. The Old Bailey heard he sent "extremist" material on WhatsApp and had a YouTube channel which showed Islamist militants in battle. He was convicted of seven counts of disseminating terrorist publications. Hussain was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on 11 September. Counter Terrorism Policing South East said Hussain encouraged others to "prepare or commit acts of terror" over a two-year period before his arrest in August 2016. Officers found he had shared videos of himself driving outside army barracks listening to jihadi chants following terrorist attacks in Paris and Orlando, the court heard. Police said he also promoted that "no-one should feel sorry for the deaths of non-Muslims and the wrong kind of Muslims". Det Ch Supt Kath Barnes, head of CTP South East, said: "Extremist posts like the ones Hussain posted and shared have the power to influence other people and particularly those who may be young and impressionable or vulnerable for a variety of reasons. "This could lead to those influenced individuals committing acts of terror." The court said a "stability clause" was problematic as future governments would not be able to alter the agreement. Critics had argued the deal on Mediterranean gas reserves was too generous to the companies involved. Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz called the court's ruling an "unfortunate decision". He said it would hurt Israel's economy, energy security and tax revenues. The Supreme Court suspended its ruling for a year, however, giving parliament a chance to amend the agreement before it is cancelled. Israel's discovery of major natural gas fields has in recent years raised hopes that it could become not only energy independent, but also a significant regional gas exporter. Prime Minister and Economy Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared personally in court last month to defend the long-delayed deal with US firm Noble Energy, Israel's Delek Group and other firms. The consortium had reportedly agreed to spend $1.5bn (£1bn) over the next two years on the development of the Leviathan gas field, discovered in 2010 and one of largest in the eastern Mediterranean. A government commitment not to change gas industry regulations until 2025 was conditional on that investment, Reuters reports. Opposition leader Isaac Herzog praised the court's decision as "correct and courageous".

The souped-up 1992 Ford Cardinal - named Dead Quick - is capable of reaching speeds of 200mph (322kmh), its creator claims. Matt Mckeown is aiming to smash the current record of 115mph (185kmh). Mr Mckeown, who already holds the Guinness World Record for riding a jet-propelled shopping trolley, is taking the hearse for its maiden spin later. He said he has "never driven it before" but will be testing it out at Cheltenham's Prescott Hill Climb. Mr McKeown bought Dead Quick after it was retired from active service last year. Since then, he said, the vehicle has been given a "new lease of life", with an ex-RAF jet powered provost engine, racing seat and roll cage. "A hearse makes a perfect shape for a land speed vehicle it's aerodynamic, long, thin, steady with a wedge back end," said Mr McKeown. "Dead Quick's good for 200mph but this is a work in progress. We've got another more powerful engine we can put in but we're going to engineer all the suspension and brakes first and then we'll go for more power." The current Guinness World Record for the fastest speed in a hearse is 186.04 km/h (115.60 mph) and was achieved by Australian Shane Hammond in Tasmania in 2010. Ahead of Mr McKeown's record bid this summer, Dead Quick is being put through its paces in "low speed tests" at Prescott Bike Festival. "I've never driven it before, the furthest I've ever driven it was getting it off a trailer and putting it on a starting grid," he said. "I've never actually turned the wheel with the jet engine running, that's going to happen for the first time on Sunday." Laura Martin, from Kingussie in the Highlands, was chosen from more than 2,400 people for the job previously undertaken by Amy Kincaid, from Oban. Ms Martin did not tell her former room-mate at University of St Andrews that she had applied for the post. The 25-year-old will start her stint in the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust post office in November. The office in Port Lockroy, which is part of the British Antarctica Territory, handles mail for scientists and others working in Antarctica. Another St Andrews University graduate, Florence Barrow, landed the same job in 2012. Like Ms Kincaid and Ms Barrow, Ms Martin will do other duties while in Antarctica.

The news follows a BBC and BuzzFeed News investigation that uncovered suspected illegal betting in tennis. Tennis Integrity Board boss Phillip Brook said: "It is vital we repair the damage and do so quickly." Former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic said players were being hounded like "serial killers". The joint investigation by the BBC and BuzzFeed News uncovered files showing that, over the past 10 years, 16 players who were ranked in the top 50 have been repeatedly flagged to the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) over suspicions their matches were targeted. All of the players, including winners of Grand Slam titles, were allowed to continue competing. Brook said he remained "totally confident" in the work of the TIU but said it was important that "everyone who loves our sport and watches our sport" is confident we are "doing all we can". Chris Kermode, chairman of the Association of Tennis Professionals, added: "We are in a toxic environment for sport at the moment. "We want to be as open and transparent as possible to demonstrate that we will look at this thoroughly. There is a zero, zero tolerance for this." But he added: "Having lists of suspicious betting patterns do not mean corruption. They are a red flag and that is not evidence." Ivanisevic agreed with Kermode and said he felt the allegations that tennis has failed to properly police the game were wrong. "There is no evidence," said the 44-year-old Croat, who was Wimbledon champion in 2001. "We are talking about algorithms and mathematics and some computer spits your name out like a serial killer and everyone is chasing you. "Show me that somebody did something wrong - then I will believe you." According to BBC Radio 5 live tennis correspondent Russell Fuller, the independent panel will "report on the effectiveness" of the anti-corruption programme and "make recommendations for change". He added: "The panel has been asked to look into how the TIU can become more transparent without compromising the need for confidentiality. "It will also consider additional resources for the TIU and structural changes that may enhance its independence. "It will also examine whether the scope and reach of the tennis integrity education programme should be extended. "The sport's governing bodies have committed to making the recommendations of the review panel publicly available and to implement them all in full." Documents showed that a 2007 ATP investigation into suspicious betting activity around one particular match cleared both payers but developed into a wider inquiry. It found betting syndicates in Russia, northern Italy and Sicily making hundreds of thousands of pounds betting on matches that investigators thought to be fixed. Three of these matches were at Wimbledon. In a confidential report for the tennis authorities in 2008, the inquiry team said 28 players involved in these matches should be investigated, but the findings were never followed up. Tennis introduced a new anti-corruption code in 2009 but after taking legal advice were told previous corruption offences could not be pursued. Media playback is not supported on this device According to an anonymous ex-tennis player from South America, "three big groups" control betting in tennis and any payments to players are made using cash, with no bank-to-bank transfers allowed. He said each group has "many guys inside the circuit" and between 50 and 60 accounts, from which dozens of small bets are placed in order to make "really big" money. "This is like a secret on the tour that everybody knows, but we don't talk about it," said the player, whose identity is known by the BBC. Massaro, who claimed the British Open title last month, beat the New Zealander 3-1 (11-7 11-8 5-11 13-11). "I was in a little bit of a battle really," said the 33-year-old. England duo Alison Waters and Emily Whitlock both failed to join Massaro in progressing to the last eight. Eighth seed Waters was beaten 3-2 (11-5 7-11 9-11 11-8 11-9) by Indian number one Joshna Chinappa, while Whitlock, the 13th seed, lost 3-0 (11-4 11-6 11-5) to Camille Serme of France. Massaro will next face either Egypt's Raneem El Welily for a place in the semi-final. "It's quite hot on there and it's quite bouncy being on a plaster court." Massaro, who is bidding for a second World Championships title, added. "Joelle is such a good player, she's so physical and I'm just pleased to get through that in the end."

James Holmes, 27, was charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder for the shooting at a midnight premiere of a Batman film near Denver. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but prosecutors say he was sane at the time of the incident. Mr Holmes could face the death penalty if he is convicted. Defence lawyers accept that he was the man who opened fire, but claim schizophrenia distorted his ability to tell right from wrong. Two state-appointed psychiatrists deemed Mr Holmes legally sane but mentally ill at the time of the shooting at the suburban movie theatre. The jury, made up of nine women and three men, heard closing arguments from both sides on Wednesday in a case that has lasted nearly three months. If they agree that Mr Holmes was mentally ill, he would avoid execution and probably spend the rest of his life in the state's mental hospital in Pueblo, 100 miles (160 km) south of Denver. The former neuroscience graduate student from California did not testify in his own defence but jurors watched about 23 hours of video of interviews conducted with him by psychiatrists. About 150 of the young crayfish, reared from eggs, are to be placed in Fernhill Farm Lake in Compton Martin to boost the wild population. The white-clawed crayfish is the only species of crayfish native to the UK. Its numbers declined after the introduction of American signal crayfish that carry a fungal-like disease, known as crayfish plague. The year-long project involved collecting nine egg laden females from a Bristol and north east Somerset river and rearing the youngsters in captivity. Another 40 captive born white-clawed crayfish will go into two tanks at Ubley hatchery, which is owned by Bristol Water. Jen Nightingale, UK conservation manager at Bristol Zoo, said the release will be "very significant" for white-clawed crayfish conservation. Fernhill Farm Lake will be the first fully captive born, white-clawed crayfish ark site, established by Bristol Zoological Society. Previously the conservation programme has released white-clawed crayfish into rivers in North Somerset.

Universities Scotland said its members were checking to ensure that cladding used on the buildings met the "highest standards of fire safety". It follows the discovery that a student halls of residence in Edinburgh had the same cladding as the London high rise. A total of 80 people are feared to have died in the blaze in Kensington on 14 June. In a survey of universities and colleges north of the border by BBC Scotland, several confirmed that checks were being undertaken. A spokesperson for Universities Scotland added: "Universities across Scotland are working to reassess the over-cladding of their building facades to ensure they meet the highest standards of fire safety. "Universities will be in close contact with the Scottish government, the relevant authorities and the network of university estates directors across the country to share best practice throughout this process." Shona Struthers, the chief executive of Colleges Scotland said: "In light of the Grenfell tragedy, colleges are urgently carrying out a review of all buildings, including materials used and construction, as well as undertaking relevant safety checks and reviewing their general fire safety procedures. "The sector is working closely with the Scottish Funding Council, who are taking this forward on behalf of the Scottish government, to assess all college estates and ensure a co-ordinated approach. Any action that is required will be taken." Hospital buildings in Glasgow have also been subject to safety checks in the wake of the Grenfell blaze. A spokesman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said it began reviewing its facilities "immediately" after the tragedy. But he added: "No cladding has been sent for sampling as buildings are designed and constructed in line with Scottish Building Regulations." On Tuesday it emerged that cladding similar to that used on the Grenfell tower block was found on Edinburgh Napier University's Bainfield Halls. The Universities Scotland spokesperson said the university was taking "swift action" to ensure the safety of its residents. The spokesman added: "Importantly, a number of additional fire safety features are in place at Bainfield. The university is taking a number of steps to reassure residents and the community of their safety." A number of other higher and further education institutions are also carrying out checks on their estate. The shortlist, which features 15 albums, was announced on Saturday.

Shocked by the incident and other similar attacks on Africans in India, independent photographer Mahesh Shantaram began documenting the lives of Africans living in India. Beginning with Bangalore, Shantaram travelled to the cities of Jaipur, Delhi and Manipal, choosing to focus on students, as they are a small and vulnerable group. Shantaram's series of intimate portraits is part of an upcoming exhibition organised by Tasveer. "Each portrait plays a part in unravelling the complex web of experiences of Africans in India that, put together, paint a picture of loneliness, placelessness and a sense of hostility," says art expert Caroline Bertram, in an original text on the exhibition. Jared Loughner, 22, entered the pleas over the attempted assassination of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and two aides. State charges in the six deaths and other injuries are expected to follow. Ms Giffords, who was shot in the head, is at a rehabilitation centre in Texas. Mr Loughner, who has been in jail since the attack, arrived amid high security for his arraignment hearing. Wearing glasses and an orange prison jumpsuit, Mr Loughner sat quietly through the whole hearing, smiling broadly, the Associated Press reported. 'Remarkable progress' The 8 January shooting occurred at a meeting Ms Giffords, a Democrat, was holding for constituents at a supermarket in Tucson, Arizona. Among the dead were a nine-year-old girl and federal judge John Roll. Federal prosecutors are weighing whether Mr Loughner can be charged with a federal crime over his death. Prosecutors have said Mr Loughner, who had been rejected by the US military due to drug use and suspended from a college amid concerns about his mental health, targeted Ms Giffords for assassination. Ms Giffords has made what doctors call remarkable progress, and is undergoing a course of intensive rehabilitation at Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital in Houston, where her husband Mark Kelly works as a Nasa astronaut. Mr Loughner is represented by Judy Clarke, a prominent defence lawyer who represented an infamous parcel bomber and the man convicted of setting a bomb at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta.

A last-minute equaliser saw Linfield grab a 2-2 league draw in November, the Blues having played for more than 80 minutes of the match with nine men. "We were very disappointed that day but if we get our attitude right, play as we have in our last few games and take our chances, then we can beat anyone in this league," said Hamilton. The dismissals of Matthew Clarke and Roy Carroll within the first 10 minutes of the Premiership clash two months ago appeared to have ended Linfield's hopes of claiming anything from that fixture, but Paul Smyth's late equaliser ensured that they secured a potentially precious point. New Lurgan Blues striker James Gray gave the club a boost by scoring twice in last week's Irish Cup fifth round win over Portstewart.

Munir Hassan Mohammed, 36, and Rowaida El-Hassan, 32, denied at the Old Bailey of planning to make a bomb or poison to use against British citizens. Mr Mohammed denied a total of three terrorism offences, while Ms El-Hassan pleaded not guilty to two charges. The pair, who were arrested during anti-terrorism raids, were remanded in custody and await trial in June. Mr Mohammed, an Eritrean national seeking asylum in the UK, and Ms El-Hassan were arrested on 12 December. They are jointly charged with preparing an act of terrorism between 7 July 2016 and their arrest last year. The pair both pleaded not guilty to researching, planning and obtaining materials to produce an "improvised explosive device or poison" with a view to committing an attack in the UK. Mr Mohammed, of Leopold Street, Derby, is further charged with being a member of Islamic State (IS). He faces one other charge relating to the possession of information useful to terrorism and dissemination of terrorist publications.

Police confirmed that the body of a man in his 50s was recovered at about 09:00 on Thursday morning. The kayaker got into difficulty in the water near an area known as Elephant Rock, 10 miles south of Forres, on Wednesday afternoon. A coastguard rescue operation was launched, but the search was called off in the face of worsening weather conditions. The man's next of kin have been made aware. The company, which has faced criticism from many, including the Church of England, over its interest charges, said demand for its loans had soared. In its annual statement, Wonga reported £1.2bn in lending, an increase of 68%. Wonga has also opened a business lending arm, and expanded abroad. So called "payday loan" firms, which often lend to those who cannot get a loan from a High Street bank, are currently the subject of a Competition Commission review. It is estimated the sector has two million customers with loans worth £2bn. Wonga typically charges interest rates of 1% a day, with a £5.50 charge, for loans of up to £1,000. In a statement, Errol Damelin, Wonga founder and chief executive, said that discussions over the company's practices were welcome, and that recent criticisms from the Archbishop of Canterbury earlier this year had, "encouraged a discussion around who our customers are and why they use us". Mr Damelin added: "Access to practical and affordable sources of credit is a big issue for our society and Wonga is playing a part by lending responsibly, and at scale, to people who can generally afford to pay us back quickly".

Members of the Hindu Sena held a prayer in support of Mr Trump winning the US presidential election. The little-known group said they supported Mr Trump "because he is hope for humanity against Islamic terror". Mr Trump has proposed a ban on Muslims entering the US - drawing widespread criticism at home and abroad. He has also advocated killing the families of terrorists and invading Syria to eradicate the so-called Islamic State group and appropriate its oil. Around a dozen members of Hindu Sena lit a ritual fire and prayers in a park in Delhi on Wednesday, and hung a banner declaring their support for Mr Trump. The American Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs backing Trump Surrounded by statues of Hindu gods, they threw offerings such as seeds, grass and ghee (clarified butter) into a small ritual fire. "Only Donald Trump can save humanity," Vishnu Gupta, founder of the group, told the Associated Press news agency. He also told The Indian Express newspaper that the group had planned "several events to express its wholehearted support for Mr Trump". The nationalist group has previously been known for vandalism and assault, attacking the office of a political party in 2014, and spraying a legislator who protested against a ban on eating beef. Steven Haggerty, 27, from Hamilton, abused a 27-year-old woman at a house in the South Lanarkshire town in 2012. He also abused and raped another woman between 26 and 30 December 2014. At the High Court in Edinburgh, judge Lord Pentland told Haggerty he would serve a minimum of six years in jail but may never be released. Addressing Haggerty, the judge said: "I formed the strong impression from seeing and hearing both the complainers in the witness box that they were each vulnerable individuals. "The picture which emerges from your criminal record is of a persistent offender who has difficulty in controlling his behaviour. You have a marked propensity to resort to violence. "I am entirely satisfied that the risk criteria are met and that an order for lifelong restriction is necessary and appropriate to protect the public from serious harm." Following conviction, it emerged that Haggerty was convicted of lewd and libidinous behaviour in October 2005 following high court proceedings. The court heard how the offending behaviour on that occasion related to children who were aged between 12 to 14. He also had convictions for violence and knife possession. Det Ch Insp Samantha McCluskey, who led the inquiry into Haggerty, described him as "a dangerous individual who preyed on vulnerable women". "The two victims in this case were previous partners of Haggerty, who were brave enough to speak out about the serious sexual violence they endured at his hands," she said. "He is finally being brought to account for his actions, and I hope that this result brings some form of closure for his victims, who have shown real courage in coming forward and going through this difficult process." 22 November 2016 Last updated at 17:23 GMT Winds of over 80 miles per hour whipped up seas on the coast, and rain caused lots of flooding inland. Angus caused lots of problems, and here's how the storm affected many of you. Check out the video. According to the US Geological Survey, the quake's epicentre was in the northern province of Badakhshan, close to the Pakistani and Tajik borders. It is not clear if there were any casualties in the area itself, but at least 17 people were injured in the Pakistani city of Peshawar. Hundreds were killed by a quake in the same area on 26 October. Residents in the Afghan capital, Kabul, and the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, were reported to have run into the streets after feeling the impact of the quake. In Peshawar some old homes and walls collapsed, Hamid Nawaz, the head of Pakistan's disaster management authority, told AP. The region has a history of powerful earthquakes caused by the northward collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. They are moving towards each other at a rate of 4-5cm per year. In 2005, a magnitude 7.6 quake in Pakistan-administered Kashmir left more than 75,000 people dead. In April this year, Nepal suffered its worst earthquake on record with 9,000 people killed and about 900,000 homes damaged or destroyed.

Steven Broomhead, chief executive of Warrington Borough Council, wrote to NHS England's chief executive Simon Stevens saying decisions were being made "without any local transparency". He warned: "Such arrogance is bound to fail". NHS England said it wanted to see more joint working but it was "accountable to parliament". A spokesperson added: "That is what the N in NHS means - National Health Service." Mr Broomhead's letter, written in his capacity as chair of the borough's health and wellbeing board, comes as 44 regional NHS officials draw up Sustainability and Transformation Plans, designed to introduce major reforms to local health services. He wrote he was "astounded by NHS England's naivety" and said changes to where people receive services and what services they receive needed "local scrutiny and local community involvement". He added he had experienced changes to stroke and trauma services as well as primary care provision, "with no local discussion or consideration". NHS England said it wanted to see more joint working which would sometimes be for areas larger than individual council boundaries. It stressed that where service changes were needed "they will of course continue to be consulted on" in partnership with local communities, including council's health and wellbeing committees. The US is thought to have dropped the 89cm-long (3ft) device during WW2. It was found by workers building a car park at the site where a four-decade-long decommissioning process is under way. Tens of thousands of residents had to evacuate the area after a reactor meltdown in 2011 following an earthquake and tsunami. The incident at the Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) site was the world's most serious nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986. No-one died directly in the meltdown but three former Tepco executives are facing trial on charges of negligence because of deaths related to the area's evacuation. Tepco said construction work was immediately suspended after the object was found and a temporary exclusion zone put in place while bomb disposal experts were deployed. It is not uncommon for unexploded WW2 devices to be found in Japan over 70 years on from the end of the war. The Fukushima area was previously home to a Japanese military base. Pictures of the incident, in Aberystwyth last August, were published before Saturday's Wales v England match by the Sun newspaper. They appear to show Mr Davies holding a shoe and chasing a man during the late-night incident. The player apologised, saying he "reacted wrongly to the situation". Dyfed-Powys Police said no further action was taken at the time due to insufficient evidence, but "as a result of new video evidence" the force was reviewing the incident.

The call comes after Private Eye magazine had a freedom of information (FOI) request turned down by the Met. The Met has yet to comment, but reportedly turned down the FOI request to "safeguard national security". Sheila Coleman, of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, called for police to show "transparency" and admit spying. Private Eye asked the Met for files it held on the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and the Hillsborough Family Support Group following claims Special Branch officers were involved in surveillance of the organisations. It reported that police would neither confirm nor deny that it held any papers on the disaster. Both the justice campaign and the support group have been at the forefront of attempts to discover what happened at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final which saw the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans. Fresh inquests into their deaths will begin in Warrington in March after the original accidental death inquest verdicts were quashed in 2012 following an independent report. Louise Brookes lost her brother Andrew Mark Brookes in the disaster and she alleges she has had her post intercepted or tampered with. She said: "Everything to do with Hillsborough would arrive opened." Meanwhile, Ms Coleman claimed campaigners' phones were "definitely tapped". She said: "I represented six families in 1993 and we were aware we were under surveillance. "A lot of attempts were made to frighten us but it just went with the territory. "It was appalling. Not so much for me but those who had been bereaved were effectively criminalised. "I'm disappointed that the government acknowledged a state cover-up but the Met are still holding back." She said families and campaigners for Hillsborough have been "promised transparency and accountability and the Met should fall into line with that". Ninety-five victims were crushed to death in Britain's worst sporting disaster, on 15 April 1989, at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium during Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest. The 96th victim died in 1993 when the Law Lords ruled that doctors could stop tube-feeding and hydration. As well as fresh inquests, there are two ongoing investigations into the disaster. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is examining police actions at and after the tragedy, while former Durham Chief Constable Jon Stoddart is looking at the causes of the tragedy and the deaths and examining the actions of a range of organisations and bodies, including South Yorkshire Police. The IPCC said it was not actively pursuing allegations of spying on families and campaigners. But a spokesman said: "We are reviewing all material in relation to Hillsborough and clearly if we came across any evidence that this had happened we would investigate it whether or not we have received a complaint." They were found "laying on and within pallets of broccoli lined with a thin sheet of ice", US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement. The temperature inside the truck was 49F (9.5C), and it was padlocked shut with "no means of escape". Nobody was hurt and the driver was arrested on human smuggling charges. The CBP reports that the 60 people discovered on Saturday come from Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras. They were transported to the Falfurrias Border Patrol Station for deportation processing after being discovered by a sniffer dog. Several of the migrants wore hooded jackets and trousers as they lay on the ice. Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Manuel Padilla Jr warned of "serious consequences for truck drivers who engage in smuggling". Last month, 10 migrants died after they were locked inside a truck in Texas. That truck, which was discovered abandoned in a sweltering San Antonio Walmart car park, may have contained nearly 100 people, officials estimate. Several migrants fled the scene after officials prised open the truck door. Pressure group Stonewall put the authority in first place in its 2014 Education Equality Index. It also praised the council's work with local charity the Allsorts Youth Project. The charity delivers anti-homophobic bullying sessions in secondary and primary schools. Richard Chamberlain is the assistant head teacher at Blatchington Mill School, which was also praised by Stonewall for its student equality conference earlier this year. "We've done a huge amount of work in school and I know other schools across the authority are doing this work as well supported by Allsorts and Stonewall. "It's just really great to get that recognition."

Connor Cain, of Poplar Road, Herne Hill, London, admitted possessing class A drugs with intent to supply. A CT scan revealed the drugs package "shaped like a potato" in his rectum after doctors had worked to stem the bleeding from knife wounds to his legs and abdomen. Cain was jailed three years and six months by Recorder Mr John Williams. Exeter Crown Court heard Cain only survived because the attack in the centre of the city was close enough to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital that doctors were able to stem the flow of blood and save him. Mr Nigel Wraith, prosecuting, said ambulance paramedics were called to a flat in Lower Summerlands, Exeter, in April and found Cain with multiple knife wounds. Mr Wraith said: "During the course of medical examination a CT scan revealed a package secreted in his rectum which was removed by a medical procedure and measured four by two inches. It was shaped like a potato." The package contained 156 wraps in all, 95 with street value of £1,900 and 61 of heroin with value of £1,220. The court heard Cain was already on a suspended sentence for dealing in cocaine. Recorder Williams said: "You had the drugs inside your body when you were subjected to a horrifying attack in which you received life threatening wounds and were fortunate to have survived, no doubt as a result of the efforts of the doctors and paramedics." The court heard police are still hunting Cain's attackers and investigating whether the stabbing was linked to the activities of rival London gangs on the streets of Exeter.

Crues duo Jordan Owens and Paul Heatley (2) netted in a 3-2 comeback victory over Coleraine while Linfield eased to a 3-0 home win against Glenavon. Portadown needed a win to maintain hopes of staying up but they lost 3-2. Ballymena thumped Cliftonville 4-1, Dungannon beat the Mallards by the same score and Glentoran edged Carrick 2-1. Tuesday night's Premiership action as it happened Crusaders fought back to beat Cliftonville on Saturday and the champions repeated the feat in a pulsating game at Seaview. A superb 30-yard strike from James McLaughlin put the Bannsiders in front but the hosts were soon level as Owens netted from Paul Heatley's cross. Heatley made it 2-1 it five minutes before the break, firing a volley into the bottom corner after his initial attempt was saved by Chris Johns, and the winger added another in the second half. Jamie McGonigle fizzed a shot into the bottom corner to set up a tense finale but the Crues held on for a vital win while bringing Coleraine's unbeaten run of 17 games to an end. Media playback is not supported on this device Crusaders will win the Gibson Cup for a third straight season if they pick up maximum points from their final two games. "I thought we dominated from start to finish, but they changed their shape a bit and began to pass the ball better, as they tend to do because Coleraine are a top side," said Crues boss Stephen Baxter. "But sometimes you have to get a job done and that's what we did - I told the players a couple of weeks ago we had to step it up and we've had a real crack at it over the last two games. I have to be happy with that." Linfield brushed aside Glenavon with three first-half goals as they maintained the pressure on the champions. Aaron Burns slotted home a penalty, after Andrew Waterworth was fouled by keeper Jonathan Tuffey, and Mark Haughey headed in before a fine finish from Paul Smyth. The other match in Section A saw Johnny McMurray's double helping Ballymena to an impressive Showgrounds win over the Reds. The forward made it 2-0 after a Kyle Owens opener and Stephen Garrett pulled one back before Cathal Friel and McMurray goals sealed the three points. It was a bleak night for Portadown, who needed to beat Ards and for Carrick to lose to continue their battle against the drop. Davy McAllister gave Ards an early lead and Garry Breen headed in an equaliser before Matthew Shevlin and Guillaume Keke scored for the hosts. Ards defender Stuart McMullan was sent-off for a foul that resulted in a penalty, which Callum Ferris converted, and Ports midfielder Sean Mackle was dismissed for dissent. "I honestly believed we had a chance but I think tonight tells its own story because we had that many kids helping us out in a relegation dogfight," said Portadown manager Niall Currie. "It's been a very unhappy time at the club for a long time, if I'm honest, but I'm lucky to have these supporters with me. A total rebuild is needed at the club." Carrick are confirmed in the relegation play-off spot - TJ Murray gave the hosts a second-half lead at the Belfast Loughshore Hotel Arena before Jonathan Smith and Curtis Allen struck for the Glens. Dungannon remained three points clear in seventh, which secures a Europa League play-off place, thanks to a comfortable win over Ballinamallard at Ferney Park. Ryan Harpur put the Swifts in front and Warner Mullen's equaliser was followed by an Andy Mitchell double and Douglas Wilson header. It was organised after attacks on homes in Walmer Street and Raby Street, off the Ormeau Road, earlier this week.

The pavilion is the final piece of a renovation project at the former Olympic venue [1948] that began in four years ago as part of the legacy project from the most recent London Games. Since then, refurbishment of the main 450m track, the addition of a 250m junior track and new floodlights have helped double visitor numbers. The Herne Hill track was where Sir Bradley Wiggins began his racing career, aged 12. Hillary Peachey, chairman of the Herne Hill Velodrome Trust (HHVT), said: "It has been a long journey, but I am immensely proud of how the community came together, matched by the generosity of our funders, the project team and the local residents." Alongside substantial contributions from the London Marathon Charitable Trust, Southwark Council and City Hall, Sport England provided £750,000 of Lottery funds towards construction, while a recent crowdfunding initiative organised by the Friends of the HHV raised £89,000 to fit out the pavilion. The opening of the facility was attended by Brian Cookson, president of world cycling's governing body the UCI, plus dignitaries including former sport and Olympics minister Baroness Tessa Jowell, MP for Dulwich and West Norwood Helen Hayes, and London's Deputy Mayor for Transport Val Shawcross, The velodrome hosts a range of activities for different ages and abilities, including dedicated sessions for young children, women, veterans (40+) and free drop-in sessions for the disabled through charity Wheels for Wellbeing.

Hart, 29, was criticised for shouting and swearing in the tunnel before tournament games in France. The Manchester City player made mistakes against Wales and Iceland before England went out in the last 16. "The Euros wasn't my finest hour, so I needed to have a think and pick apart how I played and what I did," he said. Hart was at fault against Wales when he let Gareth Bale's free-kick to squirm under him in the 2-1 win. More crucially, he failed to stop Kolbeinn Sigthorsson's winner in the embarrassing last-16 defeat by minnows Iceland. Media playback is not supported on this device Hart lost his place in the Manchester City team under new manager Pep Guardiola and has since been loaned to Italian side Torino. He remains the number one choice for his national side and made a series of stunning saves in last month's World Cup qualifying draw in Slovenia. "I've got a lot of energy, a lot of passion," said Hart. "It could have been too much. "There's nothing wrong with being positive. Being passionate and proud of your country is definitely a positive - but there's different ways of channelling it. I've looked into that and hopefully it will help. "I'm constantly changing and evolving, trying to be the best I can be. Learning from things that didn't go too well is definitely a way of doing that." Richard Beech, 33, was convicted of the physical abuse over a six-year period, but cleared of four rape charges. Beech, of Dundee, will be monitored in the community for two years following his release from prison. The trial heard the offences were committed in Dundee and Forfar. Beech attacked one of his victims to the danger of her life by putting a pillow over her face and his hands round her throat at a house in Forfar. The woman told the trial: "I actually thought he was going to kill me." She told the High Court in Glasgow she eventually managed to push him off "with force", but was "really petrified" following the attack. Another woman, who met Beech through a dating website, told the trial he seemed "like a nice guy" at first, but that he later got "really angry" and told her he knew how to build bombs. Beech, who has previously been convicted of going Awol from the army, was found guilty of nine charges against six women committed between 2007 and 2013. Defence QC Edward Targowski told the court that Beech continues to deny the offences. Jailing Beech, judge Lady Scott told him: "You subjected one of your partners to regular violence, slapping her and pouring hot liquid over her and head-butting her, often accompanied by threats. "You compressed the throats of three of your victims. "One said this happened a number of times and she said she thought she was going to die. "This was a sustained and serious course of conduct of significant violence against female partners."

The Ryder Cup veteran, 41, was set to lose his playing rights after he failed to earn the required points or prize money in the 10 events covered by his medical exemption after a foot injury. However, the PGA Tour have decided that their rules "unintentionally made it more difficult" for injured players. "It's a relief I can plan my schedule for the rest of 2017," Poulter said. "Obviously I've got work to do but I'm in a very different situation today than I was yesterday." Poulter is playing in this week's revamped New Orleans Classic team event as the invited partner of Geoff Ogilvy, who qualified for the tournament. The duo are nine shots back after the opening three rounds, but should they win on Sunday, both will receive a two-year Tour exemption. World number 195 Poulter had previously said he thought his struggles had been "slightly over-dramatised". But the 2008 Open runner-up admitted that "being in kind of no-man's-land, not knowing whether you're going to play golf, is very tough".

This content will not work on your device, please check Javascript and cookies are enabled or update your browser From August, 15-17 year-olds in young offenders institutions in England will have to be in their cells with the lights out by 22:30. Mr Grayling said enforcing the blanket policy across all five YOIs would give teenagers more structure. Critics say the government should be focusing on more important prison reform issues. Mr Grayling said it was "crucial that young people, most of whom have had chaotic and troubled lives, finally get the discipline so badly needed to help turn their lives around". "In some prisons young people are allowed to go to bed when they please," he claimed. "I don't think that is right. Stopping this inconsistency and introducing a strict lights-out policy is all part of our approach to addressing youth offending. Those who fail to comply will face tough sanctions." The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said the plans would stop the teenagers from "staying up all night watching TV". Offenders who did not observe the new bedtimes would be penalised and lose privileges like access to a television, it said. Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, criticised the move, claiming it would exacerbate physical restraint problems. She said the prison system was already struggling with a host of more pressing problems - among them overcrowding, budget cuts and "dangerously low staffing". "As most parents of teenagers know, common-sense discussion, constructive activity, setting reasonable boundaries and encouraging personal responsibility all work better than new hard and fast rules backed by petty restrictions and harsh punishments." Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, warned the move could be a "death sentence" for offenders. She told BBC Breakfast that self-injury rates in young offenders institutions were an "epidemic" that needed to be dealt with and called for a greater emphasis to be placed on improving physical activities and education for offenders. "I think politicians seem to live in a fantasy world where they think prisons seem to be something like a public schools - well they are not, they are the opposite," she said. The new bedtime rule is part of an overall reform of young offenders institutions in England, which will see the number of hours offenders spend in education doubled to 24 every week. BBC News home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the move was part of Mr Grayling's plan to "bring more order" to the centres. "There is an issue about whether it can be enforced because there is, I'm told, no central switch in these young offenders institutions that can actually turn out the lights at 22:30 and it will depend on the young person in the cell to do it themselves. Obviously that could create difficulties for prison officers," he said. Earlier this month Mr Grayling unveiled detailed plans for the first "secure college", to open in Leicestershire in 2017. The £85m facility will house up to 320 offenders aged 12 to 17. It is meant to be a move away from the "traditional environment of bars on windows" and focus instead on education. As of April this year, there were 827 young people serving custodial sentences in England's five young offenders institutions, according to the MoJ.

England's Ian Poulter will retain his PGA Tour card for the rest of this season after a change to the rules. [NEXT_CONCEPT] All young offenders will face strict bedtimes for the first time, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has announced.

Barrieu was assistant coach at Le Havre, the club Bradley left to join the Swans on 3 October. The 44-year-old had previously worked with the USA national team, LA Galaxy and Sheffield Wednesday. At the time of his appointment, Bradley said he wanted to add one or two coaches and hinted at bringing in someone with Premier League experience. Three members of the backroom staff - Diego Bortoluzzi, Gabrielle Ambrosetti, Claudio Bordon - left when Guidolin was dismissed. First team coach Alan Curtis, who has been associated with the club as a player, coach and caretaker manager since the 1970s, is expected to stay on. "For me Alan Curtis will be very important, he's going to be my older brother - only a little older," said Bradley. "His sense of the club, his eye, his experience will be important. I'm working on getting the right balance." Bradley is the first American to manage in the Premier League and takes charge of his first match when Swansea play Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, 15 October. It has taken taxonomic experts eight years to pull together all existing databases and compile one super-definitive list, known as the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). Of the 419,000 species names recorded in the scientific literature, nearly half (190,400) have been shown to be duplicate entries. One species of sea snail even had 113 different names. The WoRMS editors have now put the number of species known to science at 228,450. The vast majority - 86% or about 195,000 species - are animals. These include just over 18,000 species of fish described since the mid-1700s, more than 1,800 sea stars, 816 squids, 93 whales and dolphins and 8,900 clams and other bivalves. The remainder of the register is made up of kelp, seaweeds and other plants, bacteria, viruses, fungi and single-cell organisms. Although the definitive list has shrunk in the process of compiling WoRMS, the catalogue continues to grow rapidly. In 2014, 1,451 new-to-science marine creatures were added to the register. It is estimated another 10,000 or more new species are held in laboratories around the world just waiting to be described. Dr Jan Mees is from the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Belgium, and a co-chair of WoRMS. He told BBC News: "The purpose of WoRMS was to create a master list of all organisms that have ever been observed and described in the world oceans. "This task is now near completion. All the historical data have been entered in the database; all the names that have become redundant over time have also been identified and documented. “And now we have a system in place that can be used as a backbone for data management activities and for marine biodiversity research; and that can be updated by a consortium of taxonomists." Asked to name his favourite species in the list, Dr Mees pointed to the “stargazing” shrimp (Mysidopsis zsilaveczi) in South Africa. It is so called because its eyes appear to be fixed in an upward-looking direction. “The pigment pattern of the eyes gives the impression that animal is constantly gazing skywards. It’s not; it’s just an effect. But it’s beautiful. "But then I would say that, because as well as being a member of the scientific steering committee for WoRMS, I’m also the taxonomic editor for the mysid shrimps.” Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos

From midnight it became illegal to keep a weapon without a permit. The Scottish government has estimated there could be up to 500,000 air weapons in Scotland, but only 100,000 have been accounted for so far. The new legislation, passed last year, came in the wake of the killing of two-year-old Andrew Morton who was shot in the head with an airgun pellet. The Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015 makes it a criminal offence to have an air weapon without a licence or permit and could see perpetrators fined or face up to two years in prison. Thousands of weapons have already been handed in and destroyed and backers of the new law have said they believe it will curb gun crime. About 7,000 applications for licences, received by the end of October, were being processed and were due to be completed the 31st December deadline. However, a further 3,500 owners who sought a permit in the past two months will have their applications determined in 2017. They have been warned they must make arrangements to have their weapons stored with another firearms certificate holder - or they will be committing an offence. Air weapons were used in almost half of all offences involving a gun in the past year. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "Every day the police, the public and animal welfare groups have to face the results of air weapon misuse, from anti-social behaviour to horrific and deliberate injuries to wildlife, pets and very occasionally people. "By licensing air weapons we will take them out of the hands of those who would misuse them and better protect our communities. "The new law coming into force is part of our long-standing commitment to eradicate gun crime in Scotland. We are not banning air weapons outright, but ensuring their use is properly regulated and users have a legitimate reason for them. "We believe the new licence strikes the right balance between protecting communities and allowing legitimate use in a safe environment to continue." Colin Shedden, the Scottish Director for the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, warned owners who do not have a licence to take action immediately. "The advice that we are giving to people is that if you want to avoid breaking the law, and you don't have your air weapon certificate granted then what you need to do is find a friend who has an air weapon certificate, shotgun certificate, or firearm certificate and they can store it for you. "You can also take it to a registered firearms dealer and ask them to store it for you, but time is running out." Critics of the new law have said it will not reduce gun crime. David Traill, owner of the Grahams of Inverness tackle and gun shop, said: "The laws to prevent the misuse of air rifles, or any firearm, or any weapon at all, are long established. The police already have those powers. "This legislation is a piece of tokenism which really will achieve nothing. "The people who will misuse air weapons are not the kind of people who are going to go to the trouble of licensing those weapons anyway." The additional two days' paid leave will be used by officers to engage in sport or community activities. Other initiatives introduced by newly-appointed Chief Constable Bill Skelly, include a temporary tennis court at the force's headquarters. Mr Skelly said it was "an investment" in the workforce to try and improve the physical and mental health of officers. More on this and other Lincolnshire stories The chief constable said Lincolnshire officers were averaging six days a year in sick leave, costing the force about £1m per year. Mr Skelly said the idea was to help staff deal with "the stress and anxiety of an increased workloads and reduced [police] numbers". "This isn't about distracting or diverting from their core duties that the public pay for," he said. "The whole thrust of the wellbeing agenda is that if people are happier, people are feeling well about themselves and they are healthier and more active, then the job that they are employed to do, to help reduce harm in our communities to protect our public they will be able to do that better."

And in an unexpected twist, he wants the White House press corps to decide where it should go. Before taking office, Mr Trump told CBS's 60 Minutes that he would not claim his presidential salary. It was confirmed that it would be donated after multiple media outlets asked if he was keeping that pledge. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told a press briefing: "The President's intention right now is to donate his salary at the end of the year, and he has kindly asked that you all determine where that goes." Mr Spicer joked that letting the media choose a beneficiary would be "a way to avoid scrutiny". "In all seriousness, I think his view is he made a pledge to the American people he wants to donate it to charity and he'd love your help to determine where it should go," Mr Spicer told the press. The president's salary has been fixed at $400,000 a year since 2001. Mr Trump had previously said he would take only $1 a year, because the president is required by law to receive a salary. It is unclear which organisation the press corps will choose to support. Suggestions have included setting up a fund for journalism scholarships via the White House Correspondents' Association. Mr Trump is not the first US leader to forego a salary. Herbert Hoover, who made his fortune in mining before taking office, and John F Kennedy, who inherited his wealth, both donated their pay to charity. "We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers," said the 81-year-old's daughter Melissa. Rivers was taken ill on Thursday at an outpatient centre in the Yorkville neighbourhood of Manhattan. The comic is understood to have stopped breathing during surgery and was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. According to unconfirmed reports, the performer's heart had stopped beating during the procedure. Before being admitted to hospital, Rivers had been due to appear on Friday at a theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey. The veteran performer and outspoken fashion critic has won both fans and detractors with her acerbic remarks and waspish sideswipes at the rich and famous. News of her condition prompted a deluge of get well wishes from members of that community, among them Star Trek actor Zachary Quinto and singer Courtney Love. "I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support for my mother," said Melissa Rivers in a statement. One was killed at the base and two others died later in hospital. They were in vehicles approaching the gate of a military training centre at al-Jafr air base when they came under small-arms fire, the official added. An earlier statement from the Jordanian military said the car they were in failed to stop at the gate and was fired upon by security forces. "A total of three US service members died today in the incident in Jordan," the official said. "Initial reports were that one was killed, two injured. The two injured service members were transported to a hospital in Amman, where they died." The Pentagon and the White House said they would work with Jordan to determine exactly what had happened. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the US personnel were part of an "ongoing" training mission. "The United States is interested in getting to the bottom of what occurred," he said. AFP news agency quoted a US defence official as saying it was a "green on blue" incident, a military term for when friendly forces attack US personnel. "But we can't say for the moment if it was a deliberate" act to kill US personnel or "some kind of misunderstanding," the official told the news agency. The incident happened around midday local time (10:00 GMT). Jordan is a close ally of the US and a member of the US-led coalition fighting the so-called Islamic State (IS) group in Syria and Iraq. US forces have trained a small group of Syrian rebels in Jordan as well as Iraqi and Palestinian security forces. Last November, a Jordanian police captain opened fire at a police training centre near the capital Amman, killing two Americans, a South African and two Jordanians. The Jordanian government subsequently said the police captain had been a troubled individual but security sources said he was an IS supporter.

Although Samsung predicts greater interest in its more conventionally designed S6 model, it is worried about the time it takes to manufacturer components for the distinctive wrap-around touch screen on the S6 Edge. Experts say it could lead to consumers having to order and then wait for the model, and delay any fall in its price. Samsung faces strong competition from Apple at the high-end of the market while much cheaper smart phones made in China challenge its position at lower price points. Mobile analyst, Thomas Husson at Forrester told the BBC: "They [Samsung] will have a serious issue if the shortage is due to the difficulty of producing the curved screen. "Samsung must succeed in the launch of these new flagship phones to regain leadership in the high-end segment. They have a window of opportunity until the new iPhone comes out. The product and design is great - but [it] lacks service differentiation." A Samsung UK spokesperson told the BBC the company was "working hard" to fulfil pre-orders and sales "as soon as possible". Two children videobombed their father's live interview on BBC News on Friday morning. Professor Robert Kelly was speaking to BBC News about the political crisis in South Korea when there was an unexpected interruption from his children who were keen to share the spotlight. As Professor Kelly described the region's geopolitics, a little girl in a yellow jumper opened the door and sauntered into his office. She made herself comfortable next to her dad, as he valiantly continued his analysis. BBC Presenter James Menendez, apparently tickled by the new guest, said "I think one of your children has just walked in". Several seconds later a baby - who seems commendably independent - makes her way into the room in a baby walker. Very keen to offer her view, she settles next to her dad at the desk. The girls' mum eventually rescued the girls from their live broadcast, and Professor Kelly, who smiled and maintained his composure throughout, completed his interview about the ousting of South Korea's President Park Geun-Hye. Many social media users have sympathy with Professor Kelly. Beth Ortega said what many parents are thinking - "we laugh with you, mum and dad, because we've all been there in one way or another". Chris said 'the baby cruising in had me in tears laughing'. A video of the interruption posted on one account was retweeted 18 thousand times in the first couple of hours.

Getting a letter of thanks from Judge Dredd is though. Sylvester Stallone has written to the City of London Police's Intellectual Property Crime Unit after a man was arrested in Halifax on suspicion of leaking the Expendables 3, which Sly co-wrote and starred in. The man is accused of leaking a series of Hollywood films, either pre-release or whilst they were in the cinema. In a press release, the police unit, which operates nationwide, say it's estimated the suspect had already cost the film industry "millions of pounds". The arrest on Thursday was the result of an investigation launched in July 2014 by the US Department of Homeland Security Investigations unit, who got a tip off from an industry insider. After the raid, Sly thanked the police in both Britain and the US, saying: "It is important to protect the rights of creatives around the world from theft."

The winger is expected to be out of action for the majority of the season. Brophy Clews, 19, had to go off with a foot injury after just 34 minutes of England under-20's World Rugby Championship game against Italy. The fly-half will miss the first part of the season, but has set his sights on returning before Christmas. Lewington, who scored five Premiership tries for The Exiles last season, was injured during England Saxons' 32-24 first Test victory against South Africa A. "I'm really disappointed with the outcome of the injury," he said. "But, I'm fully focussed on making a full recovery and contributing to London Irish later on in the season as we look to make an immediate return to the Premiership." Tourists visiting the area in its busiest season have been told to leave and homes nearby have been evacuated. The fire's been burning for a week and has tripled in size in the last twenty-four hours. A state of emergency has been declared around the area.

Police Scotland said in a statement: "The investigation into the circumstances of their deaths is continuing. "The deaths of Mr and Mrs MacMillan continue to be treated as unexplained." Tributes were paid to the couple, who ran the Post Office in the village, as the local community was said to be "in shock". Western Isles councillor Catherine Macdonald said: "It's very sad. I was absolutely stunned when I heard. They were a very well-known couple who did a lot in their community."

Samarco - co-owned by Vale and BHP Billiton - will pay 2bn reais in 2016 and 1.2bn each in 2017 and 2018. The Brazilian government originally demanded 20bn reais to address what is considered the country's worst environmental disaster. The accident triggered a mudslide that killed 19 people. The mudslide also wiped out entire districts and polluted a major river in south-east Brazil. "This agreement demonstrates our commitment to repairing the damage caused and to contributing to a lasting improvement in the Rio Doce," Samarco said in a statement. Under the terms of the agreement Brazilian Vale and Australian BHP Billiton will be jointly responsible for the payments if Samarco cannot make them. The money is being divided into two categories - environmental restoration and compensation for communities. In February, a police investigation determined Samarco executive had been negligent. Six of the mine's executives including its president were charged with homicide. On Monday Chinese papers continued their admonishments, warning Ms Tsai and her DPP party against any move towards independence. China sees the island as a breakaway province, which it has threatened to take back by force if necessary. Before her win Ms Tsai said she wanted to maintain the "status quo". But some analysts say her rhetoric has hardened somewhat in the wake of her victory, when she said that "any forms of suppression will harm the stability of cross-strait relations". Her pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party beat the ruling Kuomintang, which has overseen friendlier and ever-closer ties with China on Saturday. Two days later, on Monday, Ms Tsai met former US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, and vowed to maintain close relations with the US in all areas, particularly the economy. One report from the Reuters agency said that DPP Secretary General Joseph Wu would be going to the US. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also congratulated Ms Tsai on her victory, calling Taiwan "an old friend". She has already set up a taskforce to oversee the transfer of power, Taiwan's third transition of power in its democratic history. Chinese state media lashed out swiftly in the wake of the victory, saying that Taiwan should abandon its "hallucination" of independence. On Monday, a Global Times report said it wasn't Ms Tsai's pro-independence views that won her the vote but the "dissatisfactory performance of the incumbent Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou and his ruling KMT". "I will, based on the existing ROC constitutional system, based on democratic principles, on the basis of the largest public opinion, promote cross-strait policy. "I will make the greatest efforts to seek a way for Taiwan and mainland China to interact that is mutually acceptable to both sides. I will not be provocative, there will not be any surprises." "I also want to emphasise that both sides of the strait have a responsibility to find mutually acceptable means of interaction that are based on dignity and reciprocity. We must ensure that no provocations or accidents take place. "The results of today's election showcases the will of the Taiwanese people. It is the shared resolve of Taiwan's 23 million people that the Republic of China is a democratic country. "Our democratic system, national identity, and international space must be respected. Any forms of suppression will harm the stability of cross-strait relations. The woman, who was in her mid 20s, had been playing the gaming app alone in Linacre Woods in Derbyshire on Wednesday afternoon.

"I'm eager to get going as we have a busy testing schedule ahead to be fully prepared for first practice in June". David Smith, 62, a fantasist who claimed he was an ex-SAS hero, made Elizabeth Smith so ill she thought she was dying. The sheriff in Ayr said Smith, from Telford, was guilty of a "prolonged and evil course of criminal conduct". Smith had told his wife a string of lies, including that he carried out the SAS raid on the Iranian Embassy. He was previously convicted of culpably and recklessly administering laxative substances over a three-year period from 2012-2015. Sheriff John Montgomery said Smith's conduct had caused "physical and mental anguish" to his victim. He made her so ill she said doctors believed she may have motor neurone disease. Smith also falsely told his 62-year-old wife he owned a factory that made secret-component parts for the MoD and that his first wife was a professional ballerina who had died while carrying their unborn child. His stories unravelled after he staged a break-in at their home. When she first met him, Mrs Smith thought he was an "absolute gentleman". "He was just a normal, lovely guy," she told BBC Scotland. "He was a family man - a wonderful man who came across as so genuine and real." She added: "He's a 100% 'Walter Mitty character'. He has got caught up completely in his web of lies. "I want people to be aware that there are people like this out there and they are very, very dangerous men. "He has taken away five years of my life. It's heartbreaking."

After six years of waiting for the president's promise to overhaul the country's immigration system, Latinos listened carefully as he announced sweeping measures to protect up to five million undocumented migrants from being deported. Defying the wintry weather, many supporters met in front of the White House waving American flags and carrying signs that read "Gracias, Presidente Obama," while others gathered around the country to watch and discuss the announcement. Hispanic advocacy organisations quickly reacted to the news. It was "a positive first step in putting our nation on a path that will benefit all Americans," according to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO). The unilateral actions are definitely important, not only for the Hispanic community but for the many families around the country who will be shielded from deportation. A detailed look at President Obama's speech reveals that this is about much more than just immigration. It touches on highly sensitive issues for the United States, such as national security, border protection and economic development. It also has the potential to influence not only Mr Obama's domestic agenda in his remaining two years in office, but more importantly the 2016 presidential campaign, where Democratic and Republican hopefuls will be vying for the increasingly influential Hispanic vote. At the same time, though, Thursday's announcement is not a permanent change to what President Obama has called the country's "broken" immigration system, nor does it offer a path to citizenship. Moreover, the move covers only a portion of the country's undocumented population (five million out of an estimated 11 million), and also falls short of the eight million that was mentioned as part of the 2013 bill that passed in the Senate but stalled in the House of Representatives. Even though they can bring about important policy change, executive actions are by definition limited in scope and in time, and the White House knows that the only way that the system can be changed in a permanent way is through Congress. Hispanic groups are aware of that too, and many have been pressing for broader action from both the White House and Congress. Voto Latino, an organisation focussed on Latino youth, described President Obama's measures as "legally and morally right, but not enough," and added they were "deficient in its scope." Meanwhile, Hector Sanchez, chair of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, said he will "obviously continue to fight so that there can be a legislative solution." "This move can spark Congress to finally act," he told the BBC shortly before President Obama's announcement. But it is precisely in Congress where Thursday's measures will face their biggest challenge. Republicans have gained control of both houses of Congress and have promised to fight this executive action vehemently. On Friday, John Boehner, the speaker of the House of Representatives, told reporters that Mr Obama had acted unilaterally "like a king or emperor" and vowed that his party would "rise to this challenge." "With this action, the president has chosen to deliberately sabotage any chance of enacting bipartisan reforms that he claims to seek," Mr Boehner added. The big question now is whether and to what extent Republicans will be able to block or delay President Obama from delivering his promise to millions of undocumented immigrants in the US. Immigrants who have waited for six years for action may find themselves waiting longer. Great Britain's Ryan will face Charlene Jones in the British Championships in Sheffield on Wednesday as she fights for the women's Lightweight title.

"I just say to myself 'suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion', that's what Muhammad Ali said." Ryan, who is hoping to represent Great Britain at next year's Olympic Games in Rio, won a bronze medal at the European Games in Baku earlier this year. The Derby boxer has already beaten her Welsh opponent twice, but Ryan is taking nothing for granted against Jones. "She's very game. She will keep coming forward but I am looking to get the third win," Ryan added. "I look back at videos with the coaches. Just because you've had a win against someone, you can't take it for granted.

And officials said that if the lift height of each effect was measured and added together the combined reach would stretch from Edinburgh to Paris. John McDonnell said his proposals would make the freeze "irrelevant", but did not say whether he would scrap it. Later though, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Sky News the freeze was "unfair" and "would be ended". The party's manifesto includes pledges costing £48.6bn, to be funded from extra tax revenue. Labour says all its pledges are costed, with fundraising measures including a rise in income tax for higher earners, a corporation tax rise, a crackdown on tax avoidance and an "excessive pay levy" on salaries above £330,000. But the Conservatives have said Labour would have to raise taxes dramatically for working families in order to fund their spending commitments. According to their manifesto, the Conservatives have "no plans for further radical welfare reform" and would continue the roll-out of Universal Credit - a single monthly payment to replace many other benefits. The Liberal Democrats have said they would end the benefits freeze and reverse welfare cuts. The freeze on working-age benefits, which came into force in 2016, sees most payments capped at their current rate until 2019. Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, Mr McDonnell said the proposals the party was putting forward "would ensure that in effect we would be addressing this issue of how we reverse the benefit freeze itself". "I want to do it as part of an overall reform package and not just pick off one by one." He said: "We're putting £30bn in over the lifetime of a Parliament into welfare, we're reforming the whole process... and the implication of that will be... the impact of these proposals will make the freeze irrelevant because we'll reform the whole process." Labour's manifesto includes plans to scrap the so-called bedroom tax, restore housing benefit for those under 21 and increase Personal Independence Payments for the disabled. When pushed about what level of economic growth would be needed for Labour to deliver its plans, Mr McDonnell insisted the party's proposals were "completely cost neutral... because for everything you put in, you get the money back". Mr McDonnell rejected Resolution Foundation findings that 78% of Conservative cuts would not be reversed under Labour proposals. He said his strength of feeling on this issue was such that he would deliver the reforms in the first Budget. Mr Corbyn told Sky News: "Yes, the freeze would be ended because it's very, very unfair on those people in receipt of those benefits." He said £2bn had been set aside "as a start" and "obviously we would review it as time goes on". Asked about immigration, Mr Corbyn said a Labour government would deliver a "fair" system, but would not be drawn on whether he personally wanted to see numbers rise or fall. He said net migration would "probably be lower" in the future, but added: "I want us to have a society that works and I cannot get into a numbers game because I don't think it works." Conservative Work and Pensions Secretary Damian Green described Labour's economic policies as "nonsensical". Mr Green told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "The way Labour approaches any problem is to say: There is a magic money tree... we don't need to reform anything, we don't need to change anything, we just need to take money off businesses and people, and that solves the problem."

Officers of the animal welfare charity were called after the chicks were left in a field near Crowland on Friday. Insp Justin Stubbs of the RSPCA said: "I have never seen anything like it; it was just a sea of yellow. And the noise was unbelievable." He said some birds were dead but most "did not appear to be suffering". "For someone to dump these vulnerable chicks is unbelievable," he added. There were between 1,500 and 1,800 chicks dumped, of which about 30 were dead or dying, the RSPCA said. Some of the birds had to be humanely put down. Insp Stubbs said: "These chicks were just all huddled together, just a mass, a writhing mass of cheeping yellow fluffy balls, where they shouldn't be, in conditions they should not be out in. "The sick ones sadly had to be put to sleep. They were literally dying of exposure. "I've never known anything so ridiculous. We get a lot of animals dumped in a lot of numbers, 80 here, 100 there, of mice, guinea pigs, rabbits. "But 1,800 chicks, I'm never going to get over the number and the vulnerability of these particular animals." It is not yet known if the chicks came from a nearby commercial producer or if they were abandoned by someone else. People in the area helped round up the birds into boxes and a breeder collected the survivors and took them back to his unit. The RSPCA said the chick producer was co-operating with its investigation. On Friday the prosecutor mentioned the names of several witnesses, thinking the microphones were off. The blunder took place during the trial of former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo for crimes against humanity, charges he denies. The judge said he did not know whether it was "recklessness, superficiality or stupidity" that caused the mistake. Presiding Judge Cuno Tarfusser added that he did not want to "speculate about something else". The ICC has ordered a formal inquiry. What is the International Criminal Court? The BBC's Anna Holligan in The Hague reports that the incident was relayed to the public gallery and the recordings have since spread on social media, and even appeared on YouTube. Our correspondent adds that protecting witnesses is one of the key promises of the ICC, and the court goes to great lengths to shield the identities of sensitive witnesses from the public by pixellating their faces and disguising their voices. In some cases, witnesses are even moved to a new country and given a new identity. This is the highest profile trial yet for the ICC, which has only convicted two people, both Congolese warlords, since its establishment in 2002. Mr Gbagbo, 70, and ex-militia leader Charles Ble Goude, 44, deny murder, rape, attempted murder and persecution in the violence after Ivory Coast's election in 2010. Mr Gbagbo sparked a crisis in Ivory Coast after he refused to step down following his loss to Alassane Ouattara in the presidential vote. There were bloody clashes between rival forces over five months in 2010 and 2011. Some 3,000 people were killed. At the start of the trial the prosecution said it planned to bring forward 138 witnesses. The trial is expected to last three to four years. Who is Laurent Gbagbo?

Rangers chairman Dave King said on Saturday that, in effect, Celtic had won two, and not six, Scottish titles in a row, because Rangers had been in the lower leagues for four seasons. "We haven't spoken about that sort of thing. We're focused on the here and now," said Celtic's assistant manager. "That's what we do." Davies flew out from Glasgow to Austria on Monday with manager Brendan Rodgers and the Celtic squad to prepare for their Champions League second round qualifier against Linfield or San Marino's SP La Fiorita in the second week of July. Celtic play BW Linz on Wednesday before taking on Rapid Vienna on Saturday, with warm-up games against Slavia Prague and Shamrock Rovers to follow before their opening European tie. "We've had a year working with the players and we know them a lot better," said Davies of the treble-winning squad, who went through last season unbeaten domestically. "This time last year when we came, we were just getting used to everyone and how things worked. "We know everybody a little bit better, we've had a year working with the players and developing the areas that we wanted to when we first came in. "We're in a good place and hopefully we can go away, re-focus again together and come back stronger." On the comments made by the Rangers chairman, Davies added: "I've seen little bits that have been said but I take no interest in those sort of things. "People can say whatever they want, it's up to them to think and say what they want. We know where we're at, the club is secure, the club is happy and we keep working." Davies felt that Jonny Hayes had "settled in really well" since moving from Aberdeen, but would not comment in depth on a move for Hibernian midfielder John McGinn other than acknowledging he was a player he admired. The Englishman said: "He's a good player but again it's not fair to speculate about players who belong to other clubs. He had a very good season and I'm aware of him being a good player but that's as far as that one would go. "We have players for every position, so there's not one area that stands out as an alarming position that we need to fill, but of course, you're looking at quality players." 11 August 2016 Last updated at 15:22 BST The 17-year-old is one of the youngest members of Team GB out in Rio.

Christine Proctor noticed her six-year-old Labrador was behaving oddly after a walk in Ecton Brook playing fields in Northampton on Sunday. Major was taken to an out-of-hours vet who confirmed the dog had eaten the drug and put him on a drip. Mrs Proctor, 57, who has had to pay £350 in vet fees, said: "He is getting better but he is still dazed." She added: "Initially he was was so frightened, he was hiding in the corner, then he was sensitive to touch and he couldn't control his bladder. "It was horrible to see him like that." Mrs Proctor, who is disabled and lives in sheltered housing, had to borrow the money to pay for Major's medical care. She said: "He has had £350 of treatments and he will have to have more tests to make sure he is rid of it - I would warn any dog owner to be careful." If Major had been a smaller dog the drugs could have killed him. Vet Anna Holden, of Swanspool Veterinary Practice in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire said that dog owners should be vigilant. "Dogs are very sensitive to drugs it can affect them very badly - in some cases it can lead to death. "With cannabis dogs get hyper, they become very weak then they go into a coma state, it is traumatic for them." The local authority previously gave £40,000 to the Hawick Sports Initiative (HSI) to maintain a sports pitch at the town's Volunteer Park. HSI is now being wound up as it has decided it no longer needs to exist. Agreement has been reached to give the funding to charitable trust Live Borders to improve park facilities. Ewan Jackson, chief executive of Live Borders, said: "One of our priorities at Live Borders is to ensure that sports facilities in the region are of a high standard and widely available to all. "We are delighted to be involved with the Volunteer Park project, it is a great example of how working together with local clubs and organisations can benefit the community as a whole." David Davidson, who chairs HSI, added: "I am delighted that Hawick Sports Initiative has been able to deliver sports facilities at the Volunteer Park and through this agreement has ensured that any unused capital can be passed on for the next phase of maintaining the 2G pitch and to upgrade the changing facilities at our new 3G pitch. " He said all of HSI's funding would stay in the town to support future development.

The consultant, who does not wish to be named, stepped down following the revelation that an entire chapter of the final report had been removed. It follows the resignation of two patient representatives who claimed the report had been watered down. Health Secretary Shona Robison said no evidence would be hidden. Transvaginal mesh implants are medical devices used by surgeons to treat pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence in women, conditions that can commonly occur after childbirth. What's the issue with mesh implants? Over the past 20 years, more than 20,000 women in Scotland have had mesh or tape implants but some have suffered painful and debilitating complications. There are more than 400 women currently taking legal action against Scottish health boards and manufacturers as a result of mesh implant surgery. In 2014 former health secretary Alex Neil called for the suspension of such procedures, and an independent review group was set up to look at safety issues. An interim report published in October 2015 did not advocate a blanket ban on mesh implants but noted that some women do experience serious complications and it made suggestions for reducing the risks. The final report is expected shortly. Earlier this month, the BBC revealed that an expert member of the review group had written to its chairwoman, raising concerns about the final draft. The letter states that an entire chapter, which highlighted concerns about the use of mesh in some procedures and contained tables displaying the risks of treatment, had been taken out. Patients representatives Olive McIlroy and Elaine Holmes, who have both suffered complications as a result of such surgery, resigned from the review earlier this month, claiming that the final report now lacked integrity and independence. Responding to the latest resignation, Health Secretary Shona Robison said clinical experts sometimes disagreed on complex medical matters. She said: "I want to reassure the Scottish Mesh Survivors Group their views have been heard, and I want them to remain at the centre of the crucial work. "I have been clear that all evidence must be made publically available alongside the report once published. The chair of the Review Group has stressed to me the evidence has been fully considered by the review and none has been hidden. "This is a complex, technical area and on occasions professionals will disagree. I am aware of the resignation of a clinical member from the group and, while this is unfortunate, their views and contribution to the review is much-appreciated and have proven valuable." Ms Robision is due to meet Olive McIlroy and Elaine Holmes later this week to discuss their concerns. In December, the BBC revealed that hundreds of mesh implant operations had been performed in Scotland despite ministers recommending their suspension. Figures obtained by the BBC revealed that 404 women had received mesh and tape implants since the health secretary called for the suspension in June 2014. The shares fell 9%, the steepest fall since it floated in London last year. First-half sales for stores open at least a year rose 1.8%, led by specialist pet food sales and grooming. "Trading in parts of the business has been weaker than expected," chief executive Nick Wood said. "Our full year profit outlook is broadly in line with market expectations." Another difficult area was "continuing seasonal challenge to health & hygiene products". Analysts at broker Liberum called the results "disappointing". Total sales rose 6% to £404.5m, the company said in a statement. In a year's time, the firm will have 408 stores, up from 385. The fastest-growing part of the business is the services business where revenues rose 26.2% to £41.9m. Fee income from joint venture veterinary practices rose 20.7% to £18.4m and the firm saw a "good performance" from NorthWest Surgeons, its specialist referral hospital. It said 300,000 members joined its loyalty club during the quarter, taking membership to 3.9 million.

In a video message posted on Twitter, Kathy Griffin "begged" for forgiveness and said she had "crossed a line". She said she was asking celebrity photographer Tyler Shields to remove the photo from the internet. The gruesome image brought a storm of online criticism, including from Mr Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr. "Disgusting but not surprising," he tweeted. "This is the left today. They consider this acceptable." Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Mr Trump's 2016 election rival Hillary, also condemned the image, calling it "vile and wrong". "It is never funny to joke about killing a president," she tweeted. Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney also waded in, tweeting: "Our politics have become too base, too low, & too vulgar, but Kathy Griffin's post descends into an even more repugnant & vile territory." The 56-year-old Emmy award-winning actress and comedian has been a staunch critic of President Trump. In her video apology, she said: "I'm just now seeing the reaction of these images. I'm a comic, I crossed the line. I moved the line and then I crossed it. I went way too far. "The image is too disturbing. I understand how it affects people. It wasn't funny, I get it. I beg for your forgiveness." Nesta Thomas, from Caernarfon, fell and hit a metal barrier as she left her local Morrisons on 11 February 2016, the hearing in Caernarfon was told. She refused an ambulance but died eight days later after it was found she had fractured a vertebrae in her spine. A pulmonary embolism due to deep vein thrombosis caused by the fracture was given as the cause of death. A conclusion of accidental death was recorded and Morrisons, who was not represented at the case, has since installed sliding doors. Mrs Thomas' daughter Christine told the hearing the door gave her "a heck of a shove". The day after the incident, Ms Thomas was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor complaining of back pain where it was discovered she had fractured a vertebrae in her spine. However, she had been suffering a chest infection, which doctors thought was getting worse, so they decided to concentrate on treating that first. Doctor Mark Lord, who conducted the post mortem examination, said he found no evidence of a chest infection. But he did find fragments of a blood clot, which could have been mistaken for an infection. He concluded she died of a pulmonary embolism due to deep vein thrombosis, caused by being immobile because of the fracture. "If she hadn't been immobile, she would not have had the clots," he said. Coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones recorded a conclusion of accidental death. A Morrisons spokesman said: "We were sad to hear about the passing of Mrs Thomas and our sympathies are with her family." Last week Chautala and 54 others were convicted of forging documents to hire 3,206 teachers between 1999 and 2000. Prosecutors said well-qualified candidates were rejected in favour of those who offered bribes for jobs. It is estimated that the scam was worth about 1.5bn rupees ($28m; £18m). Chautala is the leader of the Indian National Lok Dal party and the son of former deputy prime minister Devi Lal. His supporters and police clashed outside the court complex on Tuesday. Police used batons and fired teargas shells to control thousands of protesters who gathered there. The scandal only came to light in 2008 when the federal Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed charges against Chautala and the others.

The year had barely begun when the sad news broke of the death of David Bowie. Among many tributes came this performance at Glasgow's Kelvingrove. A stormy winter stretched from the end of 2015 into February, with Henry arriving to usher in the month. February went out with a bang on the 29th, and incredible footage of a meteor over Scotland lit up Twitter on the first day of March. Nessie was discovered in April, or at least a vintage film prop lying at the bottom of the famous Highland loch. A couple the big beasts of Scottish comedy also made plans for a return in May, as Jack and Victor announced a new run of Still Game. June's Brexit vote transformed the political landscape and brought people onto the streets in Edinburgh and Glasgow. The fallout from the Brexit decision brought talk of an indyref2 onto the agenda and new Prime Minister Theresa May was quick to play down the prospect. Police Scotland's move to include a hijab in its official uniform choices was a big talking point in August.

One from the archive did the business in November - looking back at how a young Andrew Murray began his journey to becoming tennis world number one. And finally, it was a festive scene that caught the imagination towards the end of 2016, as Storm Barabara swept in on a Christmas tree in Dunoon. For the latest news from around Scotland on Twitter you can follow @BBCScotlandNews. The Parliamentary and Health Ombudsman found the hospital trust and Lambeth Council had failed to share information about "Mr C"'s next-of-kin in time for them to attend his funeral. The Ombudsman said this had caused Mr C's sister "shock and distress". The council and trust have apologised, paying out £650 for distress caused. The Ombudsman found "a series of errors" were made by the trust and the council, including the council's loss of an envelope containing documents relating to Mr C's financial affairs, letters between him and his family, and the key to his property. The envelope was found behind a cabinet at council premises after Mr C's sister, Mrs B, independently learned of her brother's death through his GP and contacted the trust. The Ombudsman concluded these oversights denied his family the chance to go to the funeral. Following the Ombudsman's investigation, the trust and council apologised to Mrs B and paid her £650 in recognition of the distress caused and for the loss of opportunity to attend her brother's funeral. She received a further £374 to cover the two months when bills were unnecessarily paid by his estate. Details of the case were made public as part of a wider report on complaints about the NHS. Parliamentary and Health Ombudsman Julie Mellor said: "We are seeing far too many cases where grieving families are not being given answers when they complain to the NHS, forcing them to endure more anguish and distress." The report contains basic details of 40 case studies among the 544 investigations of unresolved complaints the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman finished investigating in April and May 2015. A Lambeth Council spokesman said Mr C's case involved "a very unfortunate set of circumstances" and the council had since reviewed its processes "to ensure such a situation could not be repeated". A spokeswoman for King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said it had also reviewed its practices. The spokeswoman added: "We would like to apologise wholeheartedly once again to the family involved in this case."

The 25-year-old former Plymouth forward plays in the fifth tier for Camborne but has been an integral part of Cornwall's County Championship success. "He's the full package," Dawe told BBC Radio Cornwall. "He's extremely skilful, knowledgeable and fit but most of all he puts his head where it hurts. "If I was given the vote I'd give him world player of the year," he joked. Matavesi's brothers Josh and Joel will both play in the top tier next season, having signed for Newcastle. He is expected to feature as Cornwall host Hertfordshire in Camborne on Saturday in a game which will see them reach the Twickenham final for a fifth year running if they avoid defeat. "I've got a massive amount of respect for him," added Dawe. "He could be a Premiership player, couldn't he?

Engineers have been working to repair the line after a large tree fell onto the track between Llanrwst and Blaenau Ffestiniog on Thursday. But the work has unveiled an unstable rock formation directly next to the track which requires further attention. Network Rail said it would be "unsafe" to reopen the line on Monday as planned. Arriva Trains Wales will operate a shuttle train service between Llandudno Junction and North Llanrwst, with a bus replacement service in place between Llanrwst North and Blaenau Ffestiniog. Andy Thomas, Network Rail's route managing director for Wales, said: "Passenger safety is our absolute priority and our repairs have revealed significant damage to the embankment which only became apparent when work started. "We are working with Arriva Trains Wales to minimise the disruption to passengers and we apologise for the inconvenience this has caused. "We will provide more updates on when the line can reopen in the coming days when the weather conditions improve." The 604-page Koran is written in black italics on golden paper and has gems embedded on the cover. Experts estimate it to be around 410 years old, written soon after the death of Mughal emperor Akbar who ruled from 1556 to 1605. Police said the 10-member gang had been asking for 50m rupees ($770,000; £500,000) for the book. "The calligraphy is exquisite. I have seen many old Korans in India, but nothing like this one," prominent historian Professor Sheikh Ali told BBC Hindi. "What is remarkable about the calligraphy is that the font is crystal clear on a page that is just six inches by four inches," he said, adding that such clarity had only been seen in old editions in Turkish museums. The last page of the book mentions that it was written around 1050 as per the Islamic calendar. "We think it landed in the hands of the accused through a chain. Our information is that it came to this gang from Hyderabad. We are investigating," superintendent of police in the southern city of Mysore Abhinav Khare told BBC Hindi.

The takeover could allow Pfizer to escape relatively high US corporate tax rates by moving its headquarters to Allergan's Dublin base. The merged company will be the world's biggest drug maker by sales. Allergan shareholders will receive 11.3 shares in the new company for each of their Allergan shares. Pfizer shareholders will receive one share for each of their shares in that company. Shares in Pfizer closed down 2.7% in New York at $31.32, while Allergan fell 3.4% to $301.70. Hilliary Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential candidate, said inversion deals like Pfizer's would "leave US taxpayers holding the bag" and called on Washington to ensure that the biggest companies "pay their fair share". Senator Bernie Sanders, another Democratic hopeful, said the deal would be a disaster for consumers and allow another major US company to hide its profits overseas. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump described Pfizer's departure from the US as "disgusting", adding: "Our politicians should be ashamed." The merged business will be called Pfizer Plc. The companies said they expected the deal to be completed in the second half of 2016, subject to regulatory approval in the US and Europe. Pfizer said it expected the merger to result in savings of $2bn in the first three years. Pfizer boss Ian Read will be chief executive and chairman of the merged company, with Allergan boss Brent Saunders becoming president and chief operating officer. "The proposed combination of Pfizer and Allergan will create a leading global pharmaceutical company with the strength to research, discover and deliver more medicines and more therapies to more people around the world," said Mr Read. Critically, the terms of the deal propose that the merged company will maintain Allergan's Irish domicile. This means the profits of the new company would be subject to corporation tax of 12.5% - much lower than the 35% Pfizer pays in the US. Last year, Pfizer made an offer to buy AstraZeneca in a move that analysts said was designed to reduce Pfizer's tax bill. The UK drugs group rejected the bid, arguing it undervalued the company. Explaining Allergan's motives, Mr Saunders said: "This bold action is the next chapter in the successful transformation of Allergan, allowing us to operate with greater resources at a much bigger scale." The deal is the latest in a series of mergers and acquisitions in the sector, as pharmaceuticals companies struggle to cope with patents on a number of major drugs expiring. Ketan Patel, at EdenTree Investment Management, said: "The pharmaceutical sector, which has had over $220bn of deals in the first half of 2015 alone, will be buoyed further by the proposed purchase of Allergan by Pfizer, the largest pharma deal ever at $160 billion, surpassing the $116 billion Pfizer paid for Warner Lambert in 2000. The deal is also the biggest [tax] inversion deal." Annette Gration, 58, was told she could not stay at Searles of Hunstanton, as the company had a policy against people staying by themselves. Mrs Gration, of Skegness, Lincolnshire, was eventually allowed to stay after saying she would be joined by her son. The company said the issue would be addressed at its next policy review. Mrs Gration, whose husband Phil died from cancer last July, said she decided to speak out after failing to receive a response to her complaint to Searles. More on this and other Norfolk stories She said she went to the camping site last November in her camper van with two friends who were travelling in their own van.

"Why was I discriminated against as a single person? I'm quite angry." Jean McQueen, of Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, said she had also been told she could not stay as a single person at the camp site. Searles issued two statements after the BBC contacted them in connection with the concerns. The spokesman for the firm said they were "prepared to exercise discretion" on issues like single person bookings "if we feel it appropriate." The "question of single occupancy on touring pitches" would be addressed during its next review of customer feedback, the company added.

Monsoon rains between June to September are crucial for India's farmers and also for the economy. The forecast in April was about 93% of the long-term average. But the reduced forecast in June has sparked fears of a drought. Millions of farmers across the country depend on monsoon rains for good yields and that eventually helps the economy. But any deficit becomes disastrous for India's farmers. Usually rains below 90% are believed to bring a drought in several parts of India. The Zee News says it's "a bad news for the country in general and the agriculture sector in particular". The India Today magazine says the "Met department has predicted that the country is staring at the prospects of yet another drought". Other papers like the Hindustan Times have highlighted the monsoon has already been delayed this year. "The arrival of the monsoons has already been delayed in the country's southern tip, Kerala, by about four-five days and large parts of the country experiencing a searing heat wave which has left near 2,000 people dead," it says. Observers say the news is likely to upset Prime Minister Narendra Modi's economic revival plans. The government's nervousness can be understood from Sciences Minister Harsh Vardhan's statement on Tuesday. "Let's pray to God that the revised forecast does not come true," he said. Reports suggest that the government has already started preparing contingency plans. "The union government has already swung into action with Prime Minister Narendra Modi closely monitoring the developments and directing ministries concerned to make necessary preparations and take action so that the common man is not affected," writes The New Indian Express.

A total of 972 drivers across Wales were caught, including 454 in the Dyfed-Powys Police area. South Wales Police fined 242 drivers, North Wales Police 148 and Gwent Police caught 128 drivers. Susan Storch, chairperson of Road Safety Wales, said it was "saddening" to see so many drivers using their phones while driving. "We all need to take account of how we drive on our roads and driving a vehicle requires us to multi-task so anything above and beyond that needs to wait until we are safely parked up or until our journey has finished," she added.

Stuart Eizenstat, a deputy treasury secretary in the Clinton era, told the BBC World Service that such loopholes were created by lobbying groups. A New York Times report found evidence of US firms trading legally with blacklisted countries such as Iran. Loopholes and exemptions were exploited in a trade worth billions of dollars. An office of the US treasury department granted nearly 10,000 licenses for deals involving blacklisted countries over the past decade, the newspaper said. Most of the licenses were approved as agricultural and medical humanitarian aid exemptions but the law governing them had been written so broadly that allowable items came to include cigarettes, chewing gum, hot sauce and weight-loss remedies, the New York Times found. More serious deals approved included Stuart A Levey, the Obama administration's point man on sanctions, responded by saying that to focus on the exceptions missed "the forest for the trees". "No one can doubt that we are serious" about our sanctions, he said. Mr Eizenstat told the BBC that some exemptions were entirely appropriate, such as the export of software that Iranian opposition figures might use. "But one of the problems is that our sanctions policies tend to be riddled with exceptions that are neither humanitarian nor related to democracy promotion but really are put in by particular industries or interests to create loopholes," he said. Most exemptions are inserted into sanctions legislation by individual members of Congress acting in the interests of a particular state or industry, he said. "In that case, the administration oftentimes has no choice but to accept them if it wants to pass the broader sanctions passed," he added. Such exemptions are not a secret but could become a problem over time without proper oversight by the executive, Mr Eizenstat suggested. It would be difficult, he added, for the US to rally support for international sanctions if its own policy looked ineffective. "I don't like the word 'hypocrisy' but I think it implicates the integrity of the sanctions," the former US treasury official said.

Paul Cleeland, from Folkestone in Kent has insisted since his 1973 conviction he was innocent of gunning down Terry Clarke in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. For more than four decades, he has been back to court in bids to prove he did not fire two lethal shotgun rounds. He failed to overturn a Criminal Cases Review Commission decision not to refer the case to the Appeal Court. Over the years, he has claimed to be the victim of a "monstrous fabrication". Suspected gangland boss Mr Clarke was shot twice after returning home from a bar on 5 November 1972. There was no eyewitness evidence against Cleeland and the only motive put forward by the police was that he had had an argument with Mr Clarke two years earlier. At Cleeland's first trial in April 1973, the jury could not reach a verdict. But a retrial later that year saw him convicted of murder and sentenced to life in jail, with a minimum tariff of 20 years. In April last year, the Criminal Cases Review Commission said there was no "real possibility" of his conviction being overturned. Cleeland insisted the commission had failed to investigate his case properly and had ignored fresh evidence. At the High Court, Mr Justice Holroyde ruled he had no cause for complaint and described the prosecution case as strong. There was little chance the Court of Appeal would clear his name, he said. The 26-year-old wicketkeeper, who came through the academy at Chelmsford, joined Hampshire in 2013. He is the county's leading first-class run scorer in 2016, with 850 runs, two centuries and career-best 204 not out against Warwickshire in July. Meanwhile all-rounder Ashar Zaidi, 35, has signed a new two-year contract with the Division Two club. Wheater has only missed one County Championship game for Hampshire this season as they battle to avoid relegation from Division One. "It is good to have one of our own coming back to the club," said Essex head coach Chris Silverwood. "Adam has a proven record with the bat and gloves at Division One level so he will be a valuable asset to us as the season reaches its climax." Zaidi enjoyed a fine season in the T20 Blast, hitting 23 sixes and 59 from 24 balls against Middlesex to help Essex qualify for the quarter-final. "I am delighted the club have shown trust in me and given me further opportunities to show my capabilities," Zaidi told the club website. "There is a great bunch of people throughout the club working hard to deliver success. Hopefully we can continue to be in contention for silverware throughout my time with the club."

Cook, 29, was replaced last week by fellow batsman Eoin Morgan - less than two months before the World Cup. "We have 17 Tests up to January 2016, including Australia at home and South Africa away, which are the two marquee series," Cook told Sky Sports. "Hopefully I can get back scoring some runs and enjoying my cricket again." During the recent 5-2 series defeat in Sri Lanka, Cook said he would not resign, but a selectors' meeting on Friday took the decision for him. He had been appointed to lead the one-day side in 2011, but he averaged only 27.52 in his last 20 one-dayers before Morgan replaced him. Cook added: "It has been an interesting couple of days, both frustrating and disappointing but sometimes these things happen. I have to take it on the chin. "I will get away from it for a couple of weeks but it is gutting. It is frustrating when you have put so much in but I wish the guys all the best." Cook was speaking after beating James Anderson in a one-legged match before play began at the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace. He and Anderson were part of the television commentary team for South African Nolan Arendse's qualifying round win against Hong Kong's Alex Hon. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, colloquially known as Paddy's Wigwam, will mark its golden jubilee with celebrations starting in May. Events include an anniversary Mass on 4 June celebrated by Crosby-born Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales. More than 350,000 visitors visit the cathedral each year. Other events include a floral tribute, a golden jubilee dinner, and the first performance of a musical piece which was commissioned but not finished in time for the cathedral's consecration in 1967. The long-awaited Liverpool Mass - by electronic music pioneer Pierre Henry - will finally be performed at the Bluecoat arts centre. Canon Anthony O'Brien, Dean of the Cathedral, said: "This will be a very special year in the life of our cathedral as we mark this golden milestone of our history in a building that means so much to so many people."

Alastair Cook is aiming to start "enjoying my cricket again" next year following the disappointment of being removed as England one-day captain. [NEXT_CONCEPT] A series of events have been announced to mark the 50th anniversary of Liverpool's iconic Catholic cathedral.

The judges denied the challenge of a white woman, who believed she was rejected by the University of Texas due to her race. The case, Fischer v University of Texas, was decided by a vote of 4-3. Affirmative action, or "positive discrimination", can continue to be used by public universities when considering minority students. The court is currently composed of eight judges rather than the usual nine, due to the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, who has yet to be replaced. President Barack Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, is being blocked by Congress. Justice Elena Kagan had recused herself because she has worked on the case before joining the court in 2009. Over the past 13 years, the US Supreme Court had been steadily eroding the ability of US public universities to consider an applicant's race during their admissions process. On Thursday, the court moved - ever so slightly - in the other direction. Justice Anthony Kennedy, further cementing his status as the court's ideological swing vote, said the University of Texas could indeed take race into account for the small number of applicants admitted using subjective analysis of their qualifications. He cautioned, however, such considerations have to be regularly "reassessed". This was the second time this particular case had reached the Supreme Court, and the woman who brought the case has long since graduated from another university. The court's decision almost certainly opens the door for new lawsuits, however, as some universities attempt to implement their own race-conscious programmes and are challenged over whether they are properly assessing the need and impact of their efforts. In this particular case Antonin Scalia's death wasn't a factor, as Justice Elana Kagan had recused herself due to her prior involvement as Barack Obama's solicitor general. But if Mr Scalia is replaced by a more liberal justice, this may mark a lasting change of course. Station head Vadim Plotnikov said 10 adult bears and four cubs had surrounded the station since 31 August. The bears had prevented the scientists from performing some observations and one scientist's dog was killed. The scientists asked for flares for scaring off the bears and other items. Vassiliy Shevchenko, who works for the state monitoring network that owns the weather station, told BBC News an Arctic vessel had reached a nearby island and the supplies had been sent in from there by helicopter. All of the scientists are reported to be well. The polar bear is the largest living land carnivore, weighing up to 800kg (1,763 pounds). According to the World Wildlife Foundation, polar bears are considered a vulnerable species. The biggest threat to the animals is the loss of their habitat due to climate change. Aston University's Prof David Bailey said he hoped firms would still support UK steel but warned Tata would be less attractive to buyers if it loses sales. He added something had to be done soon to end the uncertainty. Nissan is said to get 45% of its sheet steel from Port Talbot while Tata across south Wales supplies Vauxhall. The two industries could not be experiencing more different fortunes at the moment. While the car industry is booming, steel is at crisis point. "I certainly hope that manufacturers and component suppliers in particular will stick with Tata in the short-term in the hope that this can be sorted out and we can save the British steel industry", Prof Bailey told BBC Wales. However he said he was "pretty sure component manufacturers will be looking at other options" particularly sourcing replacement high quality steel from Europe. Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock urged Business Secretary Sajid Javid, to hold talks with Tata's customers to convince them to keep buying from the company. Mr Javid responded in a House of Commons debate that he was holding discussions with firms but it would be wrong to go into details.

The 25-year-old midfielder, who has agreed a four-year contract, will join for an undisclosed fee on 10 June. He has made 32 appearances in the German Bundesliga this season. "We are delighted that Pascal has opted to sign for us, amid interest from a number of clubs from the Premier League and Europe," said boss Chris Hughton. "He offers something different to our existing midfielders, as an attacking midfielder in a more advanced position, operating behind the forward line." Gross, who has scored four times this season as Ingolstadt were relegated, has created more chances than any other player in the Bundesliga this season. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. On Saturday, a state radio report highlighted the existence of an underground warren of windowless rooms - with only one emergency exit - at Julong Gardens, located in the north-east of the city and popular with wealthy expatriates. The tenants are among an estimated one million people known as shuzu - or rat tribe - who live in subdivided bomb shelters and bunkers built under Beijing in the 1970s and 1980s. The China National Radio report (in Chinese) said that homeowners at Julong Gardens became suspicious when they began noticing more unfamiliar faces in their complex. They eventually discovered the warren of hidden rooms behind a door in the basement of one of the complex's towers. An underground space had been subdivided into worker dormitories - complete with kitchens and even a "smoking room" - and cramped single rooms. The tenants were migrant workers, their living conditions a stark contrast to that of the aboveground residents of Julong Gardens, a spacious compound with several apartment blocks. It is unclear whether the underground homes were legal - authorities are reportedly investigating. China National Radio said the basement space was owned by the local government but was likely to have been subleased. Authorities used to encourage the use of such spaces for housing and other purposes, but in recent years have cracked down and stopped granting permits as units proliferated and sparked safety concerns. In 2015 officials embarked on a massive eviction exercise with more than 120,000 shuzu kicked out for security reasons. Many migrant workers and students turn to underground housing because of its cost, which according to some estimates can be as low as $20 (£16) a month for a space in a dormitory room. The trend comes amid a relentless climb in rental prices in Beijing, which was found to have the least affordable rental housing in the world last year. One recent survey (in Chinese) found the average monthly rent in Beijing last year had climbed to about 4,550 RMB ($666; £523), about 60% more than the 2010 figure. But it is also because of China's household registration system called hukou, which ties a person's government benefits, including access to affordable housing, to their hometown. Many migrant workers find it difficult and costly to transfer their hukou to another city. On microblogging network Sina Weibo, the Julong Gardens case sparked a mixture of resignation and exasperation. "So why come to Beijing to squeeze in like this? I really don't understand," said one user. "Beijing welcomes you (but get out if you don't have money)," joked another.

If the plan goes ahead it will give Tasmania some of the toughest tobacco laws in the world. The current legal age to purchase, possess or smoke cigarettes in all Australian states is 18. Critics have complained the proposed restrictions would be a violation of civil liberties. Australia already has some of the world's toughest anti-smoking policies. It introduced so-called plain packaging in 2012, where packs are coloured an identical olive brown and are covered in graphic health warnings. The country is also one of the most expensive places in the world to buy cigarettes - from around A$20 a pack ($15; £10). Parts of the world already ban cigarette sales to those under 21, including Kuwait and, from next year, Hawaii. Around one-in-five Tasmanians smoke, with the vast majority taking up the habit before the age of 25. The Tasmanian government proposals are part of a five-year plan to make the state Australia's healthiest by 2025. Neil Parsons needed 167 stitches after he was attacked at a lobster festival at Hardwick Hall, Sedgefield, County Durham, in April 2012. Teesside Crown Court heard John Mullen, 50, from Manchester, missed Mr Parsons' carotid artery by millimetres. Mullen admitted wounding with intent and was jailed for seven-and-a-half years. The court was told Mr Parsons runs a portable toilet business and was working at the event with his son, who witnessed the attack. After the stabbing, Mullen, from Kearsley Road, Manchester, fled the country, flying to Abu Dhabi and then Bangkok. He was eventually arrested in February last year when he arrived in Sofia, Bulgaria. The hearing was told that during the event, Mr Parsons stepped in after a man was headbutted in the hotel reception and up to 20 people became involved in a scuffle which caused terrified hotel staff to lock themselves in an office for safety. Mr Parsons suffered a 5cm (2in) V-shaped laceration in his neck and four glass fragments were stuck in the wound. In 2014 three men were sentenced for their part in the fighting. The Cardiff Capital Region City Deal will see £734m invested in the Metro transport scheme and £495m on other projects. Cardiff council backed a report on the deal at a meeting on Thursday evening. Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr council have already formally supported the deal while Monmouthshire and Blaenau Gwent also backed the plan on Thursday. The other five councils will vote on the agreement over the next few weeks, with Caerphilly, Newport and Torfaen to discuss the proposal on Tuesday. Phil Bale, Cardiff council leader, said the city deal was "crucial". "We're a central part of a region that makes up over half the Welsh economy, yet the Cardiff capital region lags behind our counterparts in England and UK cities are even further behind their counterparts in Europe," he said. "Over its lifetime we anticipate the deal will deliver up to 25,000 additional new jobs and leverage an additional £4bn in private sector investment." He said the deal would "grow our economy and create new employment", adding: "This is a significant moment in the history of both this city and the region." It follows concerns Mr Bale would struggle to persuade his Labour group to back the plan without more detail on individual projects. The 10 local authorities involved - expected to contribute a total of £120m - will be "locked in" to the deal for five years before any can quit. Arnautovic played 45 minutes of a 1-0 pre-season win over Neuchatel Xamax on Monday, but limped off as Mark Hughes rotated his entire team at half-time.

The fines were collected as part of a Cambridgeshire County Council enforcement action between December and February. It followed a survey of three bus lanes that found they were being misused up to 150 times an hour at peak times. The council said the operation had seen a drop in the illegal use of bus lanes. Nikki Pasek, head of businesses and communities support at the council, said: "We are pleased that the minority of inconsiderate drivers who were illegally using bus lanes are getting the message and that the numbers are reducing. We hope this trend continues. "Blocking bus lanes is inconsiderate and annoying for the vast majority of law-abiding drivers who use the road. But, more importantly, it is breaking the law, increases congestion and puts lives at risk." He said the crackdown had seen the number illegally using the lanes drop from "thousands to hundreds a week". All money raised through fines is used to maintain and support public transport initiatives. A YouGov survey of Welsh voter ratings for party leaders showed fewer "don't knows" for Ms Wood, down from 36% in December to 22%. The figure for First Minister Carwyn Jones rose from 21% to 26%. Prof Roger Scully of Cardiff University said Welsh Labour faced a rival leader as well-known and popular as theirs. Both Mr Jones and Ms Wood had an average approval rating of 4.8 out of 10, according to the poll for ITV Wales and the university's Wales Governance Centre. The Plaid leader's profile was boosted by involvement in leaders' debates and political discussion programmes in the run-up to polling day in May, said Prof Scully, although the party did not add to its tally of three Westminster seats. Looking ahead to the 2016 assembly election, he said: "Welsh Labour will face, for the first time since 1999, at least one opposition party leader who matches their own leader in both profile and popularity." He added: "Although Leanne Wood's higher ratings have not thus far yielded significant electoral gains for her party, as Welsh voters begin to focus more on the assembly election next year this may change." Plaid Cymru welcomed the survey, claiming it showed Ms Wood was "the most recognised leader of any political party in Wales". A Welsh Labour spokesman said: "We take absolutely nothing for granted ahead of the assembly elections and we will be working our socks off in the coming months to reconnect with those people we didn't convince in May." Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams had a rating of 4.4, with Tory Andrew RT Davies on 3.7, UKIP's Nathan Gill 3.4 and Pippa Bartolotti of the Greens on 3.7. But they had much higher "don't knows" than the other two leaders, ranging from 41% for Ms Williams and 48% for Mr Davies to 61% for Ms Bartolotti and 62% for Mr Gill. Prime Minister David Cameron had a rating of 3.8, but much higher recognition as only 6% of people surveyed failed to express an opinion on him.

He was placed under house arrest on $10m (£6.4m) bail by a New York judge. Mr Webb, from the Cayman Islands, is accused of accepting bribes worth millions of dollars in connection with the sale of marketing rights. He was detained in Switzerland in May, along with six football officials, and was this week extradited to the US. He was the only one not to contest his extradition from Switzerland and the first to appear in an American court. He must remain at home within a 20-mile (32km) radius of the court, his movements will be monitored via an electronic tag and he has already relinquished his three passports, two of which are UK passports. His lawyer has declined to comment. The arrest of the Cayman Islands' favourite son Appearing in court wearing a dark blue business suit, a crisp white shirt and a silk tie, Mr Webb smiled at his wife, Kendra, as he walked in, accompanied by US marshals. A giant of a man often referred to as "Mr President" in the Cayman Islands, he projected a confident air as he stood before the judge, flanked by his defence team and the US prosecutors who have mounted the case against him, and secured his extradition from Switzerland. Mr Webb entered a plea of not guilty to charges of money-laundering, wire fraud and racketeering. But most of the arraignment hearing at the Brooklyn courthouse was taken up with the details of his bail arrangements. Ironically, as he was listening to the charges he faces, there was a football match being played on the grass outside the courthouse, our correspondent says. Mr Webb, 50, has been provisionally banned as Fifa vice-president. He is also the former president of the Central and North American football federation (Concacaf). The other six people arrested are fighting their extradition to the US, where the charges were laid. What are the main charges? The men were held at the request of the US Department of Justice, which has indicted a total of 14 current and former Fifa officials and associates on charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption following a major inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The investigation was initially sparked by the bidding process for the Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 World Cups, but was widened to look back at the dealings of world football's governing body over the past 20 years. The Department of Justice's indictment says that the corruption was planned in the US, and that American banks were used to transfer money. Researchers used 1.2 billion tweets containing at least one of the most popular 64 emojis to develop DeepMoji. The algorithm learned first to predict which emoji was likely to be used and then to recognise sarcasm, allowing it to spot hate speech faster than humans. It could also be used to assess how people really feel about different brands or to improve human interaction with smart programs such as chatbots. "Because we can't use intonation in our voice or body language to contextualise what we are saying, emojis are the way we do it online," Prof Iyad Rahwan told MIT's Technology Review magazine. Prof Iyad Rahwan and graduate student Bjarke Felbo have created a website inviting people to refine DeepMoji's education by submitting and annotating their own messages. The pair also plan to release the algorithm's code so it can be used by other researchers. "Using emojis as labels for training neural networks is a great idea," said Prof Kerstin Dautenhahn who studies human-machine interaction at the University of Hertfordshire. "Applying it to tweets seems also a smart choice, since communication via tweets is much more impoverished than actual face-to-face conversation," she said, "so chances are better for the algorithms to work." Prof Dautenhahn raised doubts about the wide range of human activity that was now being monitored and analysed to try to guess what people think and feel. "Are we happy with more and more detailed profiles of us being created?" she asked.

Research suggests synaesthesia is nearly three times as common in adults with autism spectrum disorder than in the general population. The two conditions may share common features such as unusual wiring of the brain, say UK scientists. The study helps understanding of how people with autism experience life, says the National Autistic Society. Synaesthesia is a condition where one sense automatically triggers another. Some people experience tastes when they read or hear words, some perceive numbers as shapes, others see colours when they hear music. People with synaesthesia might say: "The letter q is dark brown," or: "The word 'hello' tastes like coffee," for example. Following anecdotal evidence of links between synaesthesia and Asperger's syndrome, researchers at the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge University set out to test the idea. More than 200 study participants - 164 adults diagnosed with high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome, and 97 adults without autism - were asked to fill in questionnaires to measure synaesthesia and autism traits. The study found one in five adults with autism spectrum conditions - a range of related developmental disorders, including autism and Asperger's syndrome - had synaesthesia compared with about 7% of people with no signs of the disorders. Prof Simon Baron-Cohen, who led the research, told BBC News: "Synaesthesia involves a mixing of the senses and it's a very subjective private experience, so the only way we know it's happening is if you ask people to report on their experiences. "And what this new study has done is ask people whether they experience synaesthesia, for example where a sound triggers the experience of colour or a taste triggers the experience of colour, and finding that these unusual experiences are actually much more common in autism than we previously knew." The research, to be published in the journal Molecular Autism, suggests that while the two conditions might appear distinct, there could actually be some underlying similarities in brain connectivity. Synaesthesia seems to involve unusual connections between brain areas not usually wired together, accounting for the jumbling up of the senses. One theory about autism is that it involves over-connectivity of neurons, so that a person focuses on small details but finds it difficult to see the big picture. Future research is needed to explore biological mechanisms behind both conditions, including carrying out detailed brain scans, says the Cambridge University team. Carol Povey, director of the National Autistic Society's Centre for Autism, said the study could help improve our understanding of autism. "People with the condition can find everyday life confusing or even frightening, so research like this, which helps us to understand more about how they experience the world, is valuable," she said. "It can help us to develop more appropriate support and to make adjustments according to their needs, which is vital if people with autism are to reach their full potential. "With the right support at the right time people with autism can live the life they choose." The project in Levenshulme, Manchester hopes to highlight difficult areas for elderly or vulnerable people. The biodegradable paint reveals parts of the pavement which might trip up those with mobility problems. The "graffiti" volunteers are all connected to Manchester's Age Friendly team, which aims to raise the concerns of older people. Levenshulme Inspire, which works to make the area more accessible for the elderly, said the paint is temporary and will wear off naturally. "While it's there it does at least show people where we think potential hazards could be," added co-ordinator, Kate Williams. Manchester City Council called the project "art with heart" and said it was "gratifying to see communities getting involved in looking after one another."

Mourinho said Ashley Young is the only player who could leave this month. "We don't have many players; in midfield we don't have many options, so obviously he is an option," said Mourinho. "He is going on the Europa League list because we opened spaces with [Memphis] Depay and [Morgan] Schneiderlin leaving." Schneiderlin was sold to Everton on 12 January, and Depay joined Lyon eight days later.

The targets were in Hakkari province on the border with Iran and Iraq. Turkey has seen increasing violence in recent weeks between the military and Kurdish separatists. The strikes come a day after nine people were killed in a wave of attacks on security forces, some of them in the south-east. The PKK has said it was behind one of those - the bombing of an Istanbul police station in which four people died. In a statement, the PKK named three of its members who died in the attack and during a subsequent clash with Turkish security forces. A ceasefire in the long-running conflict with the group appeared to disintegrate in July, when Turkey began bombing PKK camps in northern Iraq, at the same time as launching air strikes on Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria. At least 50 people have died in the renewed violence. Explainer: Turkey v Islamic State v the Kurds Who are the PKK? Tuesday's air strikes are being widely interpreted as retaliation for the attacks conducted on Monday, says the BBC's Selin Girit in Istanbul. Early on Tuesday morning, further attacks took place. The Turkish military said Kurdish militants had attacked an army base in Sirnak, in the south-east. A soldier died of his wounds in hospital. Dawn raids also saw 16 people who were allegedly members of the Patriotic Revolutionist Youth Movement, being taken into custody according to the state-run agency Anadolu. And overnight, there were more shoot-outs between Turkish forces and militants in three other cities. Turkey has for the last couple of weeks hit targets of the PKK in its strongholds in the remote mountains of northern Iraq and south-eastern Turkey. Kurdish fighters, some from the PKK, have secured significant victories against IS in Syria and Iraq. But the PKK accuses Turkey of using its campaign against IS as cover for taking on the separatists - something the government denies. Turkey, like a number of Western countries, considers the PKK a terrorist organisation. Two children were among the dead in the Nihm district, which is held by the rebel Houthi movement, medical and security sources told AFP news agency. Initially the rebel-controlled Saba news agency put the death toll at eight and said the school was "flattened". There has been no comment by the coalition, which has conducted air strikes on the rebels since March 2015. The coalition says it does not target civilians, but the UN says its air strikes have caused thousands of civilian deaths and injuries. Saba cited residents and rescuers as saying the al-Falah primary school, about 53km (33 miles) north-west of the rebel-controlled capital Sanaa, had been "flattened" in Tuesday's attack. The agency reported that eight children were killed and 15 others critically wounded, and that other casualties might be buried under the rubble. But medical sources told AFP that two children were killed, identifying the other fatalities as three members of staff. AFP also initially reported that the school had been hit but later corrected its story, saying a market near the school was struck. The conflict has taken a toll on children's access to education in Yemen. The UN says more than 1,600 schools are currently unfit for use due to damage, presence of displaced people, or occupation by combatants. Some two million children are out of school. In August, 10 children were killed in what medics said was a coalition air strike on a Koranic school in the northern province of Saada. However, a coalition investigation subsequently concluded it had not bombed the area at the time of the incident.

King Arthur Pendragon claims the cremated bones discovered in 2008 are the remains of members of the royal line and wants them re-interred. Having lost a High Court bid to have the bones reburied in 2011, permission to take the case to a full judicial review has also been refused. But the druid leader said it was "by no means the end of the campaign". The cremated remains of more than 40 bodies, thought to be at least 5,000 years old, were removed from the burial site at the ancient stone circle in Wiltshire in 2008. But Mike Pitts, one of the archaeologists who found the remains, said they did not uncover "individual burials" but bone fragments that were "very small and damaged". "What we're attempting to do is to isolate individual people, to recognise bits of bone that came from individuals, within this mass of bone that was just dumped in a mass like broken up Weetabix at the bottom of this pit," he said. "So studying these is an extremely detailed, time consuming and forensic process." Ministers gave permission to allow the bones to be examined at Sheffield University until 2015. But Mr Pendragon has vowed he will continue his fight to have the remains reburied. "The judge in refusing to let me take this particular case did say that if they [the remains] do not go back in the ground in 2015 - which the current licence says they've got to be - that I will take another case against them," he said. "And the judge has given me permission to do that." The 27-year-old former England youth international, who left Sunderland at the end of last season, has previously had spells with Chelsea and Everton. "Brooke is a really exciting addition," Royals boss Kelly Chambers said. "She is a goal scoring player who definitely adds to my attacking options and fits well into our style of play." Guidolin, 60, was taken to hospital hours before Swansea's 2-1 win at Arsenal last Wednesday. He saw a respiratory specialist after failing to fully respond to treatment. The Italian also missed the 1-0 win over Norwich, with Alan Curtis in charge for the second successive game. "Francesco Guidolin has been released from hospital after making a good recovery and will resume duties this week," Swansea City tweeted. Swansea, who are nine points clear of the Premier League's relegation zone, are away to Bournemouth on Saturday. Senators backed plans to reduce their number by two-thirds, remove the chamber's power to bring down a government, and limit its ability to block legislation. The moves aim to end decades of political instability in the country. Senators voted 179 in favour and 16 against the reforms, which will go to a national referendum next year. Mr Renzi has overcome much opposition to push through the reforms. However, because it involves a change to the constitution, the bill introducing the changes will have to return to the senate again next year, and pass twice through the lower house. This will give opponents considerable opportunity to oppose the reforms. The bill will then have to be ratified through a referendum, adding another hurdle to the process.

They're about to head home for a week-long Fourth of July recess, and between parades and pie-eating contests, they'll likely hear from constituents, few of whom will have nice things to say. Republicans are caught in a political pincer not unlike the one Barack Obama and Democrats faced during the Affordable Care Act battle of 2009. Back then, conservatives viewed Obamacare as an unacceptable government takeover of the US health system. Meanwhile, some on the left disapproved because they thought the efforts didn't go far enough. They wanted full-out socialised medicine, instead of market-based insurance reform. That left-right combo of dissatisfaction made it hard for Obamacare to ever garner majority backing. Trumpcare faces a similar dilemma - only it's much, much worse. Democrats universally despise the proposals. The not-far-enough/too-far divide exists almost entirely within Republican ranks. Moderates think the cuts go too far. Hard-liners want a full-out repeal. None of them are happy. That leaves only a slice of a slice of the public offering any kind of support for the bill. Republicans legislators may yet close ranks and pass something - anything - when faced with the unappealing prospect of failure after promising action for seven years. One thing is certain, however. Whatever they might agree on has little chance of garnering much popular support. 9 November 2016 Last updated at 18:40 GMT Africans in South Africa, Kenya, Senegal and Nigeria have been giving their reaction. Yum's Chinese same-store sales fell by more than expected in the second quarter, by 10% despite efforts to regain ground in its biggest market after a meat safety scandal last year. Globally, revenue fell 3% to $3.1bn in the three months to 13 June. The firm said its main initiative right now was to get back on track in China. "The China division remains on track to open at least 700 new restaurants this year, laying the groundwork for future growth," said chief executive Greg Creed in a statement on Tuesday. The group's KFC restaurants suffered in July last year after a television news story linked the brand to supplier Shanghai Husi Food, which was accused of selling old meat. KFC, along with fast food giant McDonald's, stopped using meat from the supplier after its operations were suspended in July. Adding to its China woes, customers in its home market - the US - are also shifting their eating habits to food seen to be healthier, served by competitors like Shake Shack and Chipotle Mexican Grill. The retailer's net income declined 30% to $235m (£150m) in the same period. The company has been trying to win back customers with moves such as removing artificial colours and flavours from food at Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, it announced in May. Its shares fell 1% in after-hours trading in New York after the earnings results came out. Correction: This story has been amended to make clear that the Shanghai Husi scandal involved allegations of supplying out-of-date, rather than tainted, meat. Guy Philippe, 49, had pleaded guilty. He was arrested earlier this year in Haiti after taking part in a live radio show and extradited to Florida. In his guilty plea, he admitted taking bribes to protect narcotics shipments to the US while he was working as a senior police officer. The US justice department said Philippe had shared some of the money that he was paid in bribes with fellow police officers, to buy their silence. The bribes he took between 1999 and 2003 are believed to have amounted to as much as $3.5m (£2.8m). Charges of drug-trafficking, which would have incurred a lengthier sentence, were dropped as part of his plea bargain. Mr Philippe was arrested in January, days before being sworn in as a senator in Haiti, which would have given him immunity from prosecution. While he first pleaded not guilty, he changed his plea to guilty in April in exchange for a reduced sentence.

Sharbat Gula had served a 15-day prison sentence in hospital where she was treated for hepatitis C. She and her four children were handed over at the border. She later met President Ashraf Ghani in Kabul. Gula, who is remembered for her haunting green eyes, fled Soviet-occupied Afghanistan as a child. She and millions of other Afghans sought refuge in neighbouring Pakistan and Iran. After her arrest in Peshawar, near the border, on 23 October she pleaded guilty to all charges and was fined 110,000 rupees ($1,100). She could have faced years in prison. Pakistan has started cracking down on refugees living in the country amid rapidly deteriorating relations with Afghanistan and India. The celebrated "Afghan Girl" picture was taken by photographer Steve McCurry in 1984 in a refugee camp in north-west Pakistan, during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. It led to one of the most recognisable magazine covers ever printed. He tracked her down 17 years later, living in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan. Gula later moved back to Pakistan and he kept in touch. Mr McCurry recently said he had hired a lawyer for her following her arrest. There are strict restrictions to getting a Pakistani ID card, which is needed for opening a bank account or to buy property. It has been illegal for non-Pakistanis to have IDs since they were first issued in the 1970s but the law was not enforced. "Hair salons are abundant in China," says Browning. "They are inexpensive and include perks like shampoo wash, blow dry and head massage as basic, all for just $5 [£3]." The Wenfeng salons are modelled on the military, with the men wearing navy-style uniforms and the women in what Browning calls an air stewardess uniform, "all of them with a star-ranking shoulder insignia displaying their rank and position".

The victim, named locally as parish councillor Tracey Swann, was found dead in her home in Caley Street, Heacham, near King's Lynn, on Saturday. Emergency services were called just after 20:00 and neighbours were evacuated from their houses. A joint police and fire inquiry into the cause of the blaze is under way. However, the fire-ravaged house has been too unsafe for investigators to enter and Norfolk's Urban Search and Rescue unit was expected to start shoring up the gutted property on Sunday. Ms Swann, who had a son, started a campaign on Facebook to save Heacham fire station after it was earmarked for possible closure in council cuts. She also set up a protest meeting in the village with the county's fire chief last December before the station was given a reprieve in February. Six fire engines from across west Norfolk - including one from Heacham - attended the fatal fire within minutes of receiving the call. Station officer Jonathan Wilby, of Norfolk Fire and Rescue service, said: "We would like to say how sorry we are at the loss of life here. "We will do everything we can in our powers to make sure we establish the cause." Mr Wilby said CID and scenes of crimes officers were at the house along with fire investigators and had been making inquiries with neighbours and the victim's family. It is expected that investigators will remain there until early in the week. Sam Robinson, a family friend, said: "Almost every single person on this street knows Tracey and they're all friends of Tracey. "She does so much for the village. She set up the youth club. She's done so much for the parish council, helped with the carnival every year. It's very sad." Ms Swann's next-door neighbours cannot return home until a structural engineer has declared the property as safe, the fire service said.

Sophie Taylor, 22, died when her car hit a block of flats in Adamsdown, Cardiff, in August 2016. The court heard Melissa Pesticcio and former boyfriend Michael Wheeler drove separate cars as they chased Miss Taylor on a three mile (4.8km) pursuit. Miss Pesticcio, of Llanrumney, denies causing death by dangerous driving. The 23-year-old also denies causing serious injury by dangerous driving and two charges of dangerous driving. Wheeler has already admitted causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury. On Wednesday, prosecutor Matthew Cobbe told the jury there was a "period of hostility" between the two women, who had both previously dated Wheeler. The court heard Miss Pesticcio had dated Wheeler but the pair split when he began seeing Miss Taylor in July, last year. Miss Taylor took out a loan for £6,500 to buy an off-road motorbike for him just weeks later. But the pair split soon afterwards and she wanted the money back, with the issue causing "angry exchanges" between them. Mr Cobbe said: "He appears to have done all he can to avoid any contact with Miss Taylor. "Melissa Pesticcio had in the meantime become involved and any conversation that did take place involved hostility towards Miss Taylor." The court heard Miss Taylor and a male friend went to Wheeler's house in August last year to demand the money back but he refused. The feud spilled over into the car chase, where it is alleged Miss Pesticcio and Wheeler pursued her. Mr Cobbe said it was Wheeler's Vauxhall Corsa which collided with Miss Taylor's car, directly causing the fatal crash, but he claimed Miss Pesticcio was also responsible after taking "a main role in the protracted pursuit". He said she deliberately drove dangerously in her white BMW at Miss Taylor, who was driving a black BMW 1 Series. The court heard Miss Taylor's friend, who was a passenger in the car, suffered "life-changing injuries" as a result of the crash. The trial continues. Telehealth services are being explored by health and social care professionals aiming to improve rural treatment. Health Minister Mark Drakeford said orthopaedic specialists in Abergavenny could already look at X-rays from Brecon, reducing patient travel. He said the project would allow more people to be treated closer to home. Telehealth is a way of treating of patients in remote areas in a separate location from the clinicians. People with long-term conditions can also monitor themselves at home using technology rather than going into hospital. The money comes from a £10m fund to promote efficiency through technology in the Welsh NHS announced in January. "This investment will take stock of all practices which use telehealth across NHS Wales and look at how, within the Mid Wales Healthcare Collaborative region, we can scale these projects up to benefit more patients," Mr Drakeford said. "This funding will increase the number of people who can benefit from this kind of technology, ensuring they receive care closer to home."

Nicknamed the 'Queen of Latin', Shirley is one of the most successful professional dancers in the world. She is three-time 'British Open to the World' Latin American Champion, 10-time United States Latin American Champion, and multiple-times British National Champion. By the age of 21, Shirley had won nearly every major title she competed in worldwide. She retired from competitive dancing in 1996 but went on to become a top coach to other dancers, and a judge for Ballroom and Latin American competitions all around the world. Her family are pretty good at dancing too. Shirley's son, Mark Ballas, is a professional dancer and has won the American version of Strictly twice. Dahir A Adan is a Kenyan-born ethnic Somali who had been in the US for 15 years, his father told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He said he had "no suspicion" that his son was involved in extremist activity. Nine people were injured, but no one died, in Saturday evening's attack at the Crossroads Center mall. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility. Rasd, a news agency linked to the group, claimed on Sunday the Minnesota attacker was a "soldier of the Islamic State". The attacker, who was dressed in a security uniform and carrying what appeared to be a kitchen knife, reportedly made at least one reference to Allah and asked a victim if he or she was Muslim before attacking, said police. Adan had been working as a security guard for the mall's Electrolux Home Products store, according a company spokeswoman. He was employed by security firm Securitas, she added. The victims included seven men, one woman and a teenage girl at the shopping centre in St Cloud, 70 miles (110km) out of Minneapolis. The knifeman was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer. Authorities have not identified the attacker. But Ahmed Adan said police had told him at around 9pm on Saturday that his son died at the mall. Investigators searched the family's apartment, seizing photos and other materials, said Mr Adan. Police had three previous encounters with the attacker, mostly for minor traffic violations, Police Chief Blair Anderson said. Adan was a student at St Cloud State University, but had not been enrolled since spring. Minnesota has the nation's largest Somali community, according to US census figures. Jaylani Hussein, of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, expressed concern for the state's community of 40,000 or more Somali-Americans. "We are definitely concerned about the potential for backlash in the community, both in the immediate run and the longer term," he said on Sunday. The community has been a target in recent years for terrorism recruiters. More than 20 young men have left the state in recent years to join al-Shabab in Somalia. About a dozen others have left in recent years to join militants in Syria. Nine Minnesota men currently await sentencing on terror charges for plotting to join the Islamic State group.

The Royal Mint has said that it saw a "surge" in demand for the precious metal following the Bank of England's cut in base rates to 0.25% on 4 August. During that week the Mint saw a 25% increase in transactions on its bullion website. It also experienced a 50% increase in sales of gold bars and coins, compared with the previous week. It is thought investors are turning to gold as cash and bonds offer diminishing returns, exacerbated by lower interest rates. So far this year, the price of gold has risen by 45% in sterling terms, and 25% in dollar terms. "Although the stock market has been doing well of late, it didn't do so well at the start of the year, and there was a lot of volatility around the time of the referendum," said Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Landown. "That helps gold." However he also warned that gold prices will not necessarily continue rising. "It's worth pointing out gold is by no means a one way bet - in 2011 it was trading at above $1800 an ounce. It's an insurance policy for the rest of your investments and as such should make up no more than 5-10% of your portfolio." Gold is currently trading at $1344 an ounce. Earlier this week, the World Gold Council reported that global investment demand for gold hit a record level in the first six months of this year. However consumer demand in countries such as India and China, traditionally among the strongest buyers of gold, was lower. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said almost 519,000 cars were registered as sales grew 5.3%. Sales of alternatively fuelled vehicles jumped 21.5% year-on-year, with diesels and petrol cars up nearly 5%. March is typically the biggest month, accounting for around a fifth of the year's car registrations. The sales figure is the highest since the UK moved to a new system in 1999 that meant new number plates were issued in March and September each year. It is second only to August 1997 when 525,539 cars were sold. Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said, "The sector's strong growth in March rounds off a robust first quarter as British consumers continue to demonstrate their appetite for new cars, especially ultra-low emission vehicles." Almost 770,000 new cars were registered in the first three months of the year. The top selling models in March were the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Ford Focus. The UK car industry has been growing for four years in a row, helped by cheaper finance and stronger exports.

Last week, it was revealed that Fifa paid the FAI 5m euros (£3.6m) after France controversially beat Ireland in a World Cup play-off. FAI boss John Delaney said a deal was made to drop a claim against Fifa. TDs are due to decide on Wednesday whether to call Mr Delaney to answer questions before the committee. Mr Delaney sent his letter to members of the transport and communications committee. The FAI believed it had a case against Fifa after French striker Thierry Henry's handball in the build-up to a decisive goal in the 2009 match in Paris which caused Ireland to miss the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The payment from Fifa to the IFA was agreed in 2010. Fifa said it entered into an agreement with the IFA to "put and end to any claims" against it. Fifa is facing criminal investigations after allegations of "systemic and deep-rooted" corruption within the organisation, and its president Sepp Blatter is stepping down. St Mary's University says free meals can be a "misleading" marker for deprivation in schools. The study warns of the need to support the "hidden poor". Offiicial figures recently showed two-thirds of children in poverty are now in working families. Free school meals have been widely used as a way of looking at the social profile of schools - but the research argues that this has failed to reflect changes in the labour market and financial pressures on low-income working families. The study by St Mary's University in south-west London looks at pupils receiving free meals in Catholic schools in England and Wales. Faith schools have faced accusations of being socially selective - and in Catholic schools, about 12% of pupils receive free meals, compared with a state school average of about 14%. But the study from St Mary's, a Catholic higher education institution, argues that such figures have become an "an unreliable indicator" of hardship. It says if the same schools are assessed by another official measure of poverty - the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index - the outcome is reversed, with disproportionately high levels of pupils in Catholic schools living in the most deprived areas. The study says that counting poverty by the take-up of free meals can miss the "working poor" who are in temporary and often low-paid jobs, moving in and out of employment. Figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show that children in poverty are now more likely to be in working families than non-working families. Among children identified as being in poverty, 67% are in families with at least one parent working, the highest recorded level. Prime Minister Theresa May has spoken of the need to help "just about managing families", where parents might be working long hours in multiple jobs. Such working families might be facing hardship, but might not be eligible for free meals. Eligibility for free school meals is for families in receipt of a range of benefits and with an income below £16,190 - but families on working tax credits are excluded. Pupils taking free meals are also used to decide how much money schools receive in the pupil premium, targeting funding at disadvantaged youngsters. The research by Prof Stephen Bullivant also highlights that the measurement of free school meals pupils is based on take-up, rather than eligibility. There are parents who might be eligible but who do not accept free meals - because of a stigma around children being identified or because of "cultural" reasons for not wanting to accept welfare. The research warns that focusing on free school meal eligibility can provide an inaccurate picture of the social intake of the rest of a school. "Free school meals eligibility is taken as 'poor' children - and any not getting free meals are seen to be affluent and middle class," said Prof Bullivant. But he says many families face "precarious lives" and are "struggling to make ends meet", but will not show up in free meals figures. "Class inequality is a real problem in Britain affecting children's attainment. This data fails to understand different degrees of poverty," says Prof Bullivant. "At a time when schools are facing funding struggles, a multi-faceted approach is needed to ensure that children from deprived backgrounds, who are currently unaccounted for by the system - the 'hidden poor' - receive the targeted support they need."

The FAI's chief executive has written to TDs (MPs) on an Irish parliamentary committee to disclose details of a 5m euros payment from Fifa. [NEXT_CONCEPT] Counting the proportion of pupils taking free school meals is an increasingly unreliable way of measuring poverty and the fairness of admissions policies, researchers say.

The prisoners were on the roof of HMP Buckley Hall in Rochdale for about six hours on Monday evening. They came down voluntarily shortly after midnight and there was "no wider disruption to the jail", a Prison Service spokesman said. Buckley Hall is a male category C prison with more than 400 inmates. The Belfast Coroners' Court inquest into the murders more than 40 years ago was hearing from a barrister for some of the victims' families on Wednesday. The 10 men were ordered out of a bus and shot in January 1976 in what became known as the Kingsmills massacre. No-one has ever been convicted in connection with the killings. Speaking in court, the families' barrister referred to a Police Service of Northern Ireland review of the case that was conducted after a report by its Historical Enquiries Team in 2011. The barrister said the police review linked a "prime individual" to 46 murders that happened between 1974 to 1976. The killings included 22 civilians, one of whom was a seven-year-old boy. The other murders involved 21 soldiers, two police officers, and a paramilitary activist. The inquiry into the massacre is also seeking clarity on the status of so-called 'on-the-run' letters after it was claimed that a number of suspects in the massacre received the controversial correspondence. The controversial letters were issued by the government and assured the recipients that they were not being sought by police. During the cross-examination of a police intelligence officer on Wednesday, the barrister asked if forensic evidence that is not new "dies a death" because of the letters. The police witness said he did not know and therefore could not answer the question. The coroner said he was also not clear on the status of the letters and the hearing would keep "an open mind" on the question. He said it may be that some other witness will be required to provide an answer. The inquest into the killings has resumed this week after being adjourned last year due to a police investigation. It also heard on Wednesday about a secret intelligence document that recorded details of a self-confessed member of the IRA providing a list of 11 suspects. The hearing was also informed of police intelligence that linked a "crack unit" of the IRA in Whitecross in County Armagh with the massacre.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas hailed the event, saying "a black page in history has been turned forever". The two sides had governed separately since Hamas, which won elections in 2006, ousted Fatah from Gaza in 2007. The US has said it will work with the new government, a move that Israel described as "disappointing". Israel insists it will not deal with a Palestinian government backed by Hamas - which is sworn to Israel's destruction. Following the Palestinian announcement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet said it would hold Mr Abbas and the new Palestinian government accountable for any rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. In a statement, Mr Netanyahu urged world leaders not to "rush to recognise" the new government. Analysis - Quentin Sommerville, BBC News, Ramallah A seven-year split, a number of failed reconciliations, a month of negotiations and still, at the last minute, the unity government almost didn't happen. A disagreement over the post of prisons minister was resolved, though, and the swearing-in of the new cabinet in Ramallah took place. It was another clear indication of the frailty of this uneasy partnership. In the end, political and economic pressures won the day. Gaza is broke and Hamas needs the help of Mahmoud Abbas. For his part, he needs a political victory following the failure of peace talks with Israel over a month ago. It's a partnership that many Palestinians have long wanted, and one that Israel says the world should reject. Hamas wants Israel's destruction and believes in an armed struggle to achieve this end. Israel says Mr Abbas' claim that the government of technocrats has no party loyalties is a "trick" that shouldn't be believed. The United States and others are reserving judgement for now, but sanctions from Israel are almost certain to follow. Israel suspended crisis-hit peace talks with the Palestinians in April in response to the announcement of the reconciliation deal. Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by Israel and other countries, opposes the peace talks, though President Abbas has said the new government will abide by previous agreements. US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Washington believed President Abbas had "formed an interim technocratic government... that does not include members affiliated with Hamas". "Based on what we know now, we intend to work with this government but will be watching closely to ensure that it upholds principles that President Abbas reiterated today," she said. Israel was swift to voice its displeasure. "We are deeply disappointed by the state department regarding working with the Palestinian unity government," an Israeli official said. The new government comprises 17 politically independent ministers and must organise elections to be held within six months. It is headed by incumbent Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah. The ministers took the oath of office in a televised ceremony at President Abbas's compound in Ramallah. "Today, with the formation of a national consensus government, we announce the end of a Palestinian division that has greatly damaged our national case," said President Abbas. As the new administration took office, the Hamas government in Gaza resigned. Hamas's outgoing Prime Minister Ismail Haniya welcomed the new cabinet as "a government of one people and one political system". Three Gaza-based members of the new government were denied permission by Israel to cross into the West Bank for the ceremony. Israel tightly controls who exits Gaza into its territory as part of what it says are security measures to prevent attacks. Israel said it would cease all but security co-ordination with the Palestinians if the government was formed. The Easyjet flight had arrived from Bodrum in Turkey on Sunday afternoon.

Beckham, 38, made almost 400 appearances under Ferguson after breaking through from the youth team. "I am truly honoured to have been guided by the greatest manager in football and to have had the career that I had under him," said Beckham. "Without him, I would never have achieved what I have done." Premier League (6): 1995-96, 1996-97, 1998-99, 1999-2000, 2000-01, 2002-03 FA Cup (2): 1995-96, 1998-99 FA Community Shield (4): 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997 FA Youth Cup (1): 1991-92 Uefa Champions League (1): 1998-99 Intercontinental Cup (1): 1999 Ferguson, 71, will step down as United manager at the end of the season after winning 38 trophies in 26 years at the helm. He and Beckham did not always see eye to eye, though, and the midfielder left Old Trafford to join Real Madrid in 2003. "I have said many times before the boss wasn't just the greatest and best manager I ever played under, he was also a father figure to me from the moment I arrived at the club at the age of 11 until the day I left," Beckham added on Facebook. Beckham was one of the original 'Fergie Fledglings', progressing from United's youth set-up with Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs, and won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League while at Old Trafford. Despite success with his club, Beckham's international career was quite different at the start. Following his red card for England against Argentina at the World Cup in 1998, the midfielder was subject to a hate campaign. "After '98, without him I would have found it virtually impossible to cope with the attention I was getting," added Beckham. "I will always be grateful to him for his support and protection. Media playback is not supported on this device "He understood how important it was to play for your country and he knew how much it meant to me." Neville, who played his whole professional career under Ferguson, told Sky Sports News: "As a fan, I'm sad and gutted. As a player, I'm grateful and privileged to have worked with the greatest manager of our time. "It's just a loss all around. I was shocked, but you have to respect his decision." Neville, now a successful football pundit, added: "If you have 499 employees at Manchester United you had 499 'mini-mes' of him. He's the last of a kind. "He really maintained traditional values and a family atmosphere. He immersed himself in Manchester United and has taken them to a point of dominance now. "It's always been a day that Manchester United fans have dreaded but the club will move on without Sir Alex Ferguson." It had approved the relocation from the East/West Brigs ward in Galashiels to Crumhaugh House in 2015. It said at the time that the move would address "patient care and safety issues" in the service. However, NHS Borders said changes in provision at Galashiels had "called into question" the decision to relocate to the vacant Hawick property. The move would have relocated 28 staff from one town to the other. Dr Cliff Sharp, associate medical director, said: "After very careful consideration I took the somewhat unusual step of going back to the board and requesting that we did not progress with the relocation to Hawick. "On the basis of the information presented to them the board approved the request. "In light of this decision which has been communicated to affected patients, families, carers and our staff, I would like to assure you that the board will restart the process to find a suitable alternative use for the Crumhaugh House property."

Michael Gibbons, 27, of Yateley, Hampshire abused seven children, some aged as young as four, a court heard. He pleaded guilty in April to nine sexual assaults, including two at Farnborough Leisure Centre where he was employed as a play worker. The offences happened in Hampshire and Berkshire between 2009 and 2016. Gibbons also admitted one count of rape and six other sexual offences. They included four counts of inciting children to engage in sexual activity and two attempted sexual assaults. Gibbons, of Dickens Way, was arrested in December after he confessed his crimes to the mental health charity Mind. In police interviews he admitted sexually touching two children at the play centre holiday club, even though the crimes were never reported to the police. One young victim told the police how her "body felt sad" after Gibbons assaulted her, while other children reported having nightmares, the prosecution said. Sentencing him at Winchester Crown Court judge Jane Miller QC said Gibbons had shown "some remorse" for the lasting harm he had caused his victims and their families. A spokesman for the NSPCC children's charity said: "With a clear and dangerous interest in children, Gibbons used his young victims for his own sexual gratification. "His actions will have had a devastating impact on his victims and it's thanks to their bravery that Gibbons has been brought to justice." Jamie Healey, 22, who had his spleen and kidney removed after the attack in Tamerton Foliot, Devon, told Plymouth Crown Court he was "hit from behind". Another man, Tanis Bhandari, 27, died after being stabbed twice in the back. Ryan Williams, 22, pleaded guilty to murder, wounding and assault. Donald Pemberton, 21, denies murder, wounding and actual bodily harm charges. In a video interview recorded the day after he left hospital, Mr Healey told police how he put his hand to his back and saw a "trickle of blood". He said he remembered his mother being beside him as he lay on the floor "bleeding out". "I just remember mum shouting at me, 'I'm here, I'm here'," said Mr Healy, who underwent three operations. "I remember saying to her, please don't let me die." Also giving evidence was George Walker, 21, who suffered cuts to his arm and neck in the attack. He told the court how he had seen one of the men "waving a knife around" in front of his girlfriend and had "jumped in to protect her". "I was just thinking of getting in between so she didn't get hurt," he said. He told the jury: "I thought he was going to kill me. He just wasn't going to stop until I was dead." Mr Williams, 22, of Haydon Grove, St Budeaux, Plymouth, changed his plea halfway through the trial and pleaded guilty to murder, three counts of wounding with intent, and one count of assault occasioning bodily harm. Mr Pemberton denies murder, three counts of wounding with intent, and one count of actual bodily harm, in relation to four other men who were injured. The case continues.

Pompey secured automatic promotion from League Two earlier this month, and still have a chance to win the title with two games remaining. Cook is set to decide on the future of his out-of-contract players, but suggested many will remain next season. "I can't see many shocks when it comes to publishing our retained list," he told BBC Radio Solent. Club captain Michael Doyle, Enda Stevens and Kyle Bennett are among a number of first-team players whose deals expire this summer. But Cook says adding depth to the squad will be his main focus over the close season. "We want to get stronger and to do that, you have to have bigger squads, more players and invest in your infrastructure," he said. "Portsmouth want to get back to a level in the football pyramid where we belong and to do that, we've got to have a lot of factors in our favour. "But, if we had to play a game in League One tomorrow and I had to go in with the squad I've got now, would it faze me? No, it wouldn't. "That speaks volumes for all the players at this club."

Bright blue lobsters have a genetic abnormality that causes them to produce more of a certain protein than others. Mr Coakley-Greene said: "I've been selling lobsters for 42 years and I've never seen anything like this one. "He came in from my supplier along with eleven other lobsters which were the usual black colour. "I did some research and found one in every two million lobsters is a blue. "So he's off the menu - he's too rare and beautiful for a thermidor." Mr Coakley-Greene is looking to rehome Chelsea with an aquarium: "If no one wants him we will return him to the sea off the south Wales coast - it will be a bit warmer for him down here."

Sgt Louise Lucas, 41, died when she stepped into the path of a single decker bus in March 2015. Civil engineer Mark Thomas told the Swansea inquest on Wednesday the road had designated crossings and markings. Following Sgt Lucas' death temporary railings were put up. Acting Coroner Colin Phillips asked whether the risk of pedestrians looking the wrong way while crossing the unconventional layout of Kingsway had been identified during previous audits. Mr Thomas replied: "Yes." He said: "A measured approach was taken and a number of considerations were taken on board. "I consider the fact that we incorporated designated signalling points for pedestrians to be an appropriate response to safety concerns raised in the audit." Asked whether Sgt Lucas's death would have been prevented had railing along the central reservation already been in place, Mr Thomas replied: "No, sir." Mr Thomas added there is evidence pedestrians "continue to cross the Kingsway using the central reservation" and not the designated crossing points despite the introduction of guard rails since the incident. On Tuesday the inquest heard evidence from Sgt Lucas's best friend Karen Williams who said she would not have seen the bus coming. The 46-year-old ex-Nottingham Forest and Rotherham forward joined manager Grant McCann's staff last June, but has left after just nine months. Peterborough have won just four games in 2017 and are currently on a five-match winless run following their 1-1 with struggling Oldham on Saturday. Posh are 12th in League One, eight points outside the play-off places with seven games remaining. Glover told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I had a chat with [director of football] Barry Fry and he decided it was probably best to terminate my contract. That was the decision taken at board level. "Results have been poor and I think someone has carried the can for that." Footage showed protesters surrounding the van and hitting it with batons taken from police. The vehicle then drives into the crowd several times, injuring a number of people. Hundreds had met to demand the US end its military presence in the country. President Rodrigo Duterte has queried long-standing ties with the US. Duterte in China: Conciliator-in-chief? Police arrested at least 23 people, who threw red paint at them and a member of the US forces at the embassy. Tear gas was used against the demonstrators, after they broke through a line of riot police. They also took control of the water hose of a fire truck being used to douse them and threw stones at police. It remains unclear how many people were injured by the police van and how serious their injuries are. Television footage of the incident shows the van driving into people at speed. At one point it knocks over a woman and drags her body along the road. The van brakes and she appears to scramble away. Renato Reyes of the left-wing activist group Bayan said at least three people were taken to hospital after being rammed by the van. "Even as the president avowed an independent foreign policy, Philippines police forces still act as running dogs of the US," he said, adding there was "no justification" for the police violence. A spokesperson for the US embassy told the BBC it had "seen reports" of injuries, but declined to comment further, directing inquiries to police. President Duterte is in Beijing, seeking to deepen ties and economic relations with China. Bilateral relations were strained under his predecessor over acrimonious territorial disputes in the South China Sea. Relations with the US, a longstanding ally, have deteriorated in recent months over Mr Duterte's controversial war on drugs. The US has questioned the crackdown, which has led to the deaths of 2,300 people. In response, Mr Duterte has insulted US President Barack Obama and the US ambassador to the Philippines.

The Spanish company posted a profit of €521m (£383m) between February and April, up from €406m (£298m) over the same period last year. Inditex opened 63 new stores over the period, bringing its total to 6,746. It also said sales rose 17% to €4.37bn (£3.2bn). Shares in the company were down 0.4% in morning trading in Madrid. Graham Renwick, an analyst at Exane BNP Paribas, said: "Inditex have returned to premium growth in style. Whilst largely expected, confirmation is comforting. "This momentum - and the ongoing top-line momentum into 2Q [second quarter] - bodes well for the year ahead, but looks to have been largely captured in consensus forecasts, which are likely to rise only modestly today." Inditex, which also owns Pull & Bear and Bershka, said the expansion of Zara Home - its home goods range - was a "particular highlight" of the first quarter. Megan Williams and Charlie Hague built their eco-friendly home in Ms Williams's parents' garden in Glandwr, near Crymych, for around £12,000. Planners refused a retrospective planning application last summer. The Planning Inspectorate will decide in July. It visited on Tuesday. Sculptor Mr Hague and Ms Williams argue the straw-walled roundhouse, which took a year to build, has a low impact on the environment. But council officials who refused their retrospective planning application last year, said the couple had broken rules about developing homes in the countryside. Pembrokeshire council originally issued an enforcement notice against the roundhouse in December 2012. The couple appealed against the decision but it was refused by a Welsh government planning inspector in 2013, who ruled the benefits of the development did not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the countryside. In their latest appeal, Ms Williams and Mr Hague hope to demonstrate they can meet criteria set out in the Welsh government's One Planet Development policy. Developments which match the criteria are described as having a "light touch on the environment - positively enhancing the environment wherever possible through activities on the site," and also demonstrate relative self sufficiency in terms of food, energy and income. Ronald Burton was convicted of lewd and libidinous behaviour towards one boy, who was aged between 11 and 13, from 1994 until 1996. The 60-year-old, from East Kilbride, was also convicted of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy in 2014. At the High Court in Glasgow, a judge told now-retired Burton that he had acted "disgracefully" towards the boys. Lady Stacey told him: "You abused the trust that the children had in you." Burton, who maintains his innocence, showed no emotion as he was led handcuffed to the cells. His lawyer said he had been a "gifted" teacher, but that his reputation now "lay in tatters". The court was previously told that Burton had taught maths and had been an assistant principal teacher. The jury heard that he got to know the first victim around 1994 when he was in first year and later went on to abuse him. The abuse ended when the boy was around 15. The victim told the court: "I ended up thinking I was the one in the wrong." Burton later moved schools and eventually abused a second boy. The teacher was reported to police after the first victim told he felt "worthless" and later confronted Burton. In his closing speech, prosecutor Paul Kearney described Burton as "highly manipulative" in carrying out "systematic sexual abuse". Burton had faced other charges including claims he raped the second victim and also tried to hypnotise him, but these were dropped by prosecutors.

Midsummer Place in Milton Keynes opened around the great oak in 2000 but the tree soon began shedding its leaves. A builder of the site told BBC Three Counties last week he believed the tree drowned through poor drainage. The shopping centre, now owned by Intu, said it would be asking the public for ideas to replace it. The tree is one of just two great oaks in the new town of Milton Keynes, which was built in the 1960s and 1970s.

But it has not had any further root growth and experts confirmed on Monday it had died. A spokesman for the shopping centre, said: "We are naturally saddened by the decline of the oak and this latest news. "When it was realised the tree was in a declining state - in 2005 - the centre management team worked with The Parks Trust and local schools to harvest acorns from the tree and plant 100 saplings. "Today, these saplings are doing well with some already growing to 10ft tall and spread across open Parks Trust land in two locations. "We know how important the tree is to Milton Keynes and its community and it is now our responsibility to respect its heritage and the sensitivities of removing it. "We will be asking the public how they would like to remember the oak; perhaps as an art piece made from its wood or a plaque?"

The Farc rebel group relied on cocaine production to fund its insurgency, and controlled much of the industry. But a joint programme between rebels and the government will offer farmers monthly payments if they voluntarily destroy their crops. They will also be offered loans and guidance to plant alternatives such as fruit trees and cacao. The crop substitution programme was agreed as part of Colombia's peace accord, which was finally ratified in December. The Colombian official responsible for the programme, Rafael Pardo, said the government would invest $340m (£271m), which would benefit 50,000 families. Last year, President Juan Manuel Santos decided to suspend US-backed aerial fumigation of illegal coca crops. The government has set a goal of destroying 100,000 hectares of coca this year, and has yet to rule out other methods to bring coca levels down. But the preferred strategy appears to be winning over the estimated 64,000 peasant families dependent on the coca trade. "This is much more cost-efficient and furthermore ensures that territories are transformed and people's lives are changed," Mr Pardo said. Each family would receive a monthly stipend of around $350 (£280) as well as loans, subsidies, and technical assistance. The programme is supported by the Farc and will initially focus on 40 municipalities responsible for more than half of Colombia's coca production. During the armed conflict, the Farc initially taxed farmers producing coca in areas under its control, but eventually dominated trafficking in those areas. As the Farc leave these regions to comply with the peace accord, the concern is that other armed groups including paramilitary and other crime gangs will try to replace them and take over the trade. The robbers struck at about 11:20 BST on High Street in Thame, Oxfordshire. They escaped the scene in a car which police said appeared to be travelling towards the southbound M40.

Fremantle council last month decided to move traditional Australia Day events from 26 to 28 January because of Aboriginal cultural sensitivities. A "culturally inclusive alternative" is now due to be held on 28 January out of respect for the Indigenous community. But authorities say holding citizenship ceremonies on that date would send an anti-Australia Day message. "Citizenship has got to be apolitical, non-commercial, bipartisan and secular," Assistant Immigration Minister Alex Hawke told ABC radio. "It's really important... we've got hundreds of councils administering this around the country... that they don't get the idea they can use citizenship as a political football." The Australia Day public holiday is traditionally held on 26 January across the country, marking the arrival of Britain's First Fleet on 26 January 1788. Fremantle council voted in August to scrap its popular Australia Day fireworks event from 2017 after deeming the celebration "culturally insensitive". Fremantle mayor Brad Pettitt was subsequently accused on social media of grandstanding, being politically correct and not seeking the advice of Aboriginal leaders. To quash rumours local indigenous elder Robert Eggington last week posted a photo of dozens of elders meeting with the council in September, saying the decision was 50 years ahead of its time. "It's a clarification of history, because celebrating the day the first gunshots ploughed our blood into the earth is horrific for Aboriginal people," he wrote. "I believe Brad Pettitt will become a historic figure because of the decision." Speaking to conservative activists, he said: "I'm leaving the campaign trail."

A sixth person, an 18-year-old man, was arrested but has since been released on bail pending further inquiries. A number of roads in the area remain closed.

"One male, aged 23, has been taken to a nearby hospital with serious head injuries. His condition is described as critical." BBC News NI reporter Julian Fowler visited the scene of the crash. "The blue Ford Focus was travelling down the Cornagrade Road when it appears to have mounted the pavement and collided with a metal railing," he said. "It then travelled across a traffic island before stopping in the middle of the roundabout." Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them. The Johnston Bridge roundabout at the junction with the Cornagrade Road, Queen Elizabeth Road, Queen Street and Halls Lane remain closed to traffic.

An EU data protection working party has ruled that employers should require "legal grounds" before snooping. The recommendations are non-binding, but will influence forthcoming changes to data protection laws. Recruitment company CareerBuilder suggests that 70% of employers use social networks to screen candidates. Its study also found that the same percentage are also using online search engines to research potential employees. The guidelines from the Article 29 working party will inform a radical shake-up of European data protection laws, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which are due to come into force in May 2018. Their recommendations also suggest that any data collected from an internet search of potential candidates must be necessary and relevant to the performance of the job. Peter Church, a technology specialist at law firm Linklaters, told the BBC that the UK already had guidelines on employers' use of social media. "Demanding passwords or making a friend request is unacceptable, but it is more difficult when it comes to public facing information," he said. "The general rules are that employers should inform applicants if they are going to look at social media profiles and give them the opportunity to comment. The searches should also be proportionate to the job being applied for." He added that social network LinkedIn was "fair game" because it was set up as a way of advertising yourself as a potential employee. Implementation of the GDPR might tighten the enforcement of such guidelines. "In theory, all employers should be following these basic rules but, in practice, I'm not sure they do. The GDPR might force employers to be a bit more diligent about compliance with the rules," said Mr Church. Another saw Rollins, 25, miss a test to attend 'Brianna Rollins Day' in September in her hometown in Florida. Rollins, who won 100m hurdles gold in Rio, is banned until 18 December. She will therefore miss the World Championships in London in August. "This is one of the most difficult times in my career, especially after having such a great 2016 season," Rollins said in a statement on Instagram. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) says Rollins failed to properly file her whereabouts information for drug testers. Under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, athletes cannot miss three tests in a 12-month period. Rollins missed one in April 2016, as she was travelling, and two in September - one when she was visiting the White House and the other when she returned to Florida. Usada says her results from 27 September - the date of her third whereabouts failure - will be disqualified, meaning the world champion will be allowed to keep the Olympic medal she won in August. "This is a difficult case because it involves the imposition of a serious penalty on a brilliant athlete who is not charged or suspected of using banned substances of any kind," Usada said in the ruling.

Sinn Féin MLA Barry McElduff said he had been "inundated" by phone calls from "concerned and angry" parents and past pupils. A spokesperson for Loreto said the comments were down to "misunderstanding." The school orginally tweeted: "Thanks to Chief Inspector @PoliceServiceNI who informed Year 14 of opportunities with RAF Cadets #buildingcommunity" Mr McElduff said the PSNI "must answer why it is promoting the British armed forces in school visits." "Our schools should be places of learning where young people and others can expand their horizons and opportunities. "They should not be used to recruit young people for imperialist conflicts and to be trained in warfare. "I will be raising this matter with the PSNI and asking them to explain their actions," he added. School Principal Grainne O'Hanlon said the talk had been "only one of a broad range of educational opportunities presented to the pupils for personal and skills development". She added: "The school is aware of the interest generated by our Twitter feed thanking a guest speaker from the PSNI who presented to the pupils volunteering opportunities in a social and sporting skills development programme with the Royal Air Force Air Cadets. "This is a youth initiative catering for all abilities, with members from across all faiths and communities. " A PSNI spokesperson said: "The officer was invited to the school to provide information on a number of issues including employment issues focusing on careers advice, social media and online safety. "Whilst there he was asked about the RAF Cadets, with which he is privately associated, and he responded to a number of questions. "The officer attended the school in his own time, on a voluntary basis and no complaints were made." Speaking on BBC's Talkback programme former army officer and Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie said there was a degree of "fake outrage" involved. "I know there are sensitivities about this and entrenched views about this and I can understand those views," he said. "This is a youth organisation. Nobody who joins these cadets is expected to go on and have a career in the military. "What it does do is it gives them an opportunity to get involved in avionics, possibly to fly gliders, it gives leadership and gives confidence. Nobody is forcing them to do it." The Reverend Gareth Jones swore at officers and claimed he had diplomatic immunity from the Vatican when he was arrested two weeks ago. A paramedic found him passed out in his clerical clothes on Charing Cross Road, in Covent Garden, central London. He had drunk three bottles of wine, several pints of beer, a number of gin and tonics and vodka. Highbury Corner magistrates heard he kicked a paramedic twice in the leg before punching him and trying to bite him. As police intervened, the priest from St Mary's Church in Ilford, east London, kicked an officer in the face, the court was told. When asked which embassy would grant him diplomatic immunity, the Anglican priest said "the Vatican" and swore at officers. Mr Jones now faces formal church disciplinary proceedings. His lawyer, Dominic Hockley, told the court that Mr Jones had consumed about 53 units of alcohol before the incident and was seeking help to deal with alcoholism. "To say that this incident has been a wake-up call would be an understatement," said Mr Hockley. District Judge Robin McPhee ordered Mr Jones, who admitted two assaults, to pay £700 in fines, £200 in compensation each to the policeman and the paramedic, as well as £85 prosecution costs and a £35 victim surcharge. A tweet from Mr Jones's account, posted on Thursday evening but subsequently deleted said: "The fire is lit." A spokesman for the diocese of Chelmsford said: "We are deeply shocked by Mr Jones' behaviour. "We suspended him from his duties as soon as we were notified of the incident. "Now that the case has been concluded we have started proceedings under the terms of the Clergy Discipline Measure. "We are holding all those affected by this serious incident in our prayers."

He was found guilty of tax evasion by a court in his home country last June. The ruling led to him being disqualified from involvement with Leeds under the Football League's owners' and directors' test. His ban was deferred and the Football League will now discuss the matter at Thursday's board meeting. Italian newspaper L'Unione Sarda reports that Cellino's acquittal was a result of a change in Italian law, which saw the offence he was charged with being decriminalised. Leeds ended the Championship season in 13th place. Ibrahim Halawa, the son of the most senior Muslim cleric in the Republic of Ireland, was arrested during a siege on the Al-Fath mosque in Cairo in 2013. Last month, the Irish government said it was concerned after the Dubliner's trial was adjourned for the 14th time. Wednesday marks the third anniversary of Mr Halawa's arrest. Now the Bar Human Rights Committee has said he should be returned to Ireland. Mr Halawa and almost 500 other people have been charged with murder and a range of other serious offences. The 20-year-old could face a death penalty if he is convicted. Kirsty Brimelow QC, the chair of the Bar Human Rights Committee, said Egypt's treatment of him "constitutes a serious breach of international law". She added: "He has been subjected to several years of pre-trial detention, violently assaulted by the Egyptian police and denied access to a lawyer or a fair trial. "During part of this period, Mr Halawa was a child. "[His] urgent release is required." The Egyptian government has rejected claims by the United Nations of ill-treatment of Mr Halawa during his time in prison. Mr Halawa was 17 when he was arrested along with three of his sisters in the Egyptian capital. They said they were on holiday at the time and sought refuge in the Al-Fath mosque to escape from violence outside. The sisters were later released on bail, but the family has had to deny claims that Mr Halawa is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organisation. The Eyptian government has declared it a terrorist group, a claim that the organisation rejects. 16 September 2015 Last updated at 06:56 BST Manar moved to Britain just three weeks ago, when her family was relocated to Bradford in West Yorkshire, from a camp in Lebanon. Her mum, Mariam, decided that Manar and her four sisters had no choice but to leave Syria after their neighbour's house was destroyed by a falling plane as war and fighting in the country got worse and worse. But it's taken three years for them to begin their new life in the UK. Speaking to Newsround reporter Ricky, Manar has been explaining how the war turned the country she loved upside down. Simon Griffiths, 52, from Pembroke, withheld £60,000 from the sister of one of his clients after she died. Swansea Crown Court heard Griffiths, who ran Eaves Solicitors in Milford Haven, was struck off in 2013 and is now bankrupt. Griffiths, who admitted fraud, transferred the cash into the accounts of a firm he was director of. The court heard when Helen Ward-Jones died in 2011, Griffiths paid her sister Barbara Collins her share of the estate but did not pay her other sister, Christine Sheridan. Dyfed Thomas, defending, said: "He was a man who was a trusted professional until his spectacular fall from grace."
